Think Global, Dress Local

Chanced upon a local designer’s blog. I am really amazed by his designs. Falling in love with the dresses…

He is the kind of designer that i inspire to be… though now i’m thinking twice about fashion design. more interest in bringing in comfortable heels!

his pieces are loved by many local celebrities and companies…

there’s so much to do at work still… been staying back almost everyday.

there’s so much to do at school… haven started on any.. time is running out.

still thinking if i should continue my studies.

i just received a notification. 30 credit units exempted.

feel like going for INSTEP and GIP.

BUT i need to study hard and get good results first.

maybe i’m in the wrong course.

maybe i should quit my job and concentrate on my studies.

yet im so into my work now.

everyelse wants a place in uni.

what about following the footsteps of my mom?
marry at 21. first child at 22.

visited my dentist. got hit by a $739 bill.
That’s the price of a Sony Ericsson P1.
Kiss goodbye to it.
Till March.

caught the preview of “L change the world” with hui chun and xinyi. best of all, it’s free! haha..

if u hate the typical save the world, don’t waste your money and time.

but it’s overall still pretty entertaining.. ;)

the angel crepes van is soo cutee~

Tai Sui

I flunked an assignment which weigh 20% of my overall. F*

didnt know it’s weightage, thus a bad job. booo…..

————————————————

on a “happier” note, went to pray to the Tai Su Deity yesterday. The Sembawang God of Fortune Temple was packed with people! As a rabbit, im sort of getting in the way of Tai Su this year, therefore should pray to him to avoid any mishaps.

For the fact that i’m working, i think it’s better for me to pray.

The Taoist priest performed a ritual, we had to bow to Tai Su many times and knock the bell.

Went around the temple to pay respects to the several gods. Prayed for good health and safety for the family.

I was surprised when my dad passed me the incense sticks. They were in gold!!!
Photobucket

glittery gold! wow.

sometimes i just wonder, are these temples for real?

sashimi date

we didnt plan for Valentine’s Day.

K: “Valentine’s Day is next week right? Which day is it?”
J: “Thursday”
K: “I didn’t plan anything.”
J: “Yeah, i know. It’s ok.”
K: “Nah, let’s meet for dinner. I don’t want you to stay at home alone on Valentine’s Day.”

So we met up for dinner. Msg the Kuriya’s master chef and got him to reserve 2 bar seats for us. Felt really priviledged! =)The whole was filled with couples. A few had to queue up outside still…

Photobucket
Master chef specially prepared this sashimi for us. That little glass bowl contained raw baby eel… color is similar to raw squid though. something different from the usuals. Dip into vinegar and slurp it down. mmmMMm…

My new lovely white dress. loved it! =)
Photobucket

He got me a gift. How nice.. I didnt prepare anything..

Cherry Blossom scent… sweet-smelling, i like it! hee..

a simple msg is enough to bring a smile to my face and touch my heart. =D

Savings

i ought to start a saving plan.. been spending every single cent i earned. =(

browse through the different plans from the banks.

OCBC is offering a 24-months savings account with a high interest rate of 1.3%. Minimum saving amount is $100/month. Withdrawal before 24-months will inccur $30 document fees and interest rate is only given at 0.8%.
($500 for 2 years will earn me $162.50 only)

UOB has this Campus Account which offers debit card and chequeing account, with interest rate of 0.6%.

Standard Chartered provides an e$aver account with only internet/phone banking option and an interest rate of 0.8%. However minimum age is 21 years old.

Can’t decide which account to open. Super interested in SC’s offer but the age killed my hopes. 7 more months to go.

Attracted to the Citibank Clear Card with $500 limit and the DBS Capital Mall Debit too..

some restrictions i face. Need my savings to pay my school fees, my job wouldn’t last me for 2 years and i gotta to pay back my sis for laptop & lasik. hai.

hmmm….

festive spirits

beginning to feel bored of chinese new year. even the ang baos doesnt excite me at much… *yawn*

 the whole lot of spring-cleaning turns me off!

mom has been buying lots of ingredients, asking me to prepare the dishes…
“I got the butter, flour and pineapple filling. Make the dough later hor.”
“I bought yam from the market this morning, fry yam paste ok.”
“Come, help me bake walnut cake.”

(*_*)~

发了祝贺的短讯给阿淼,也受到了他的回应。
“好妹妹,开心每一天。”

我不由自主的回想起在上海的日子。

初次到淼的家,他只是跟我们打了一声招呼便对我们之至不理。接下来的几天,对我们的语气也不太好。这也激发了我和他之间的斗嘴。他常常不想做饭给我们吃也时常对我们唠叨。但时间久了,他对我们的态度也慢慢变好。对我们也产生了关心。现在想起来真觉得很有趣。我还真想念那段日子。

Miao replied to my sms greetings. “My lovely sister, stay happy each day.”
My smile couldn’t hide itself. Those days still to flash through my mind..

I could still remember the 1st time we entered the house. It was merely just a “hi” and he stayed away from us. Over the next few days, his attitude towards us wasnt exactly nice. Always being reluctant to cook dinner for us. And many times, it sparked off the small quarrels. As times passed by, he began to treat us better, showing more concern for us. He was very sad when we were leaving and yet he tried to say some funny remarks to cover up the sadness.

Miao always says that i’m still young, like a little girl. I’m like a little sister to him.. Can’t imagine his reaction if he finds out i’m with someone older than him. haha..

He always nags about cooking for us. talk about how we singaporeans are so spolit.

He was so proud when we commented that he’s quite good looking..

He carried shobi when she fainted in the hospital although he wasnt very strong..

I really hope that he marries a good woman and someone he likes. He told me before that he doesn’t mind a matchmake marriage. As long he doesn’t detest the other person. Which ever he’s happy with, he better fulfill his promise of the air tickets to his wedding.

He gets me to pick up some of his company’s phone calls when he’s busy. Or reply to some emails.

We always suspect that they could understand English but act blur in front of us.

Thinking back, the interactions we had with him was so funny. I really miss those good old days in Shanghai. Never get bored of speaking about it. Too bad if you’re bored reading about it. =p

Leng recently asked if i still miss Shanghai.. He missed the days too.
I guess we can never get enough of those carefree and independent days.
A wonderful 3 months to be cherished.
I want more of it.
I wanna get out of Singapore!

Dubai, maybe?
Mumbai is out.

Cap score of 3/5 isnt getting me any where near INSTEP, neither GIP.
I will be stuck here for the next few years.

熟悉

finally the busiest day is over. and im famished!
so much for the pain from my braces… hungry hungry hungry!

baked cookies and cupcakes in the morning.
headed out to collect some stuffs.
picked up the wine from office.
did 2 interviews.
daryl’s bday party.
shobi’s farewell party.

————————————————————-

everything was so familiar..
the entrance, the pool, the pit, the rug outside the door, the same comfy sofa, the hamster’s cage, the decorations, the room.
nothing much have changed. only that it has become the past now.
i guess every single bit of it brings back memories..

一切的一切都是如此的熟悉,
但人与人之间的互动以改变,
拥有的只是美好的回忆。

so much for the inspiration to type in chinese.. time to brush up on it too.
