Yeah yeah PH today. It has been a long time since the last PH, hmmm actually its just one month ago. Hahha.. But it seems so long already. Went for my free compilmentary back massage today and I was pretty angry with their services.

I reached there at 10.15 as appointed and I had to wait 45 mins before it was my turn. If I had to wait so long, why is there a need for an appointment to be made? I almost wanted to leave and they approached me and it was my turn. The massage was pretty painful, maybe its because I have not been for any massage. It had relieved some stress on my body but it was a torturous experiance. After the massage, they tried to ask me to sign up for package and I signed up for the facial and foot spa package for $198 for two sessions of facial and foot spa each. In total I took 24 sets of $198 which they are having. I was willing to take up as my face sorely need some care with the upcoming wedding. In addition, I have also tried their facial services 2 years ago and was happy with their facial. Hence I was willing to sign up.

When payment was made, I felt a little cheated as they did not tell me that I need to sign up as a member and have to pay a sum of $53! I gave them a black face and showed my displeasure. I would not mind if the lady had told me in advance, but she did not. Hiaz.

After reading and watching how to put on fake eyelashes on Xiaxue's blog, I decided to try it out myself. My eye lashes has never been nice and long. I wanted to try something so that I can look better when I go for dinners. Today we went to purchase the items required after the movie.

The fake lashes.

The curlers which does not have the sides blocked so that I can curl the fake ones as well.

Oh the Bridal called us up this week and told us that we will have to go over for another fitting before the photoshoot on the 12 April. It has been set on 6th April. Haha so excited.

Read one of the famous blogger's blog, Xiaxue, on Sunday. I have heard so much about her and I decided to read a bit to understand why she is so famous. I am pretty amazed with what she posted on the website. She isn't afraid to offen anyone, she pretty much blog on what is actually on her mind. I admire her for that. Sometimes when I blog I wondered if I should name the names of the people or even mention about the event. Why? I am afraid that people will be angry with the things that I post as they might consider them to be private.

What I am truly amaze with is her teaching others how to edit their photos with Photoshop. She gave a basic tutorial on how she actually edited the photos to make herself pretty online. That is pretty daring if you were to ask me. Haha, too bad I do not have that software or else I will definately try to do the things that she has taught. Kekke.....

I also have decide to post the things that needed to be done on the blog. Haha. See whether I will strike them off item by item, hoping that i will see some progress. It is only about 6 months more to go but I don't know what I will need to do for the wedding preparations. Seems like nothing can be done as its too early to do anything. Haiz....

Ailin has left for US already and I have asked her to help me purchase the Coach bag if its cheap. Has decided on the Coach bag instead as the LV bag is really expensive. Will try out the Coach one first and see how things go. Haha Was really thinking of whether I should get the longer lasting LV bag as its leather compared to Coach which is more fabric. Have been thinking of getting LV with the ERS money that the government is giving me. As I have not withdraw a single cent since the day they started it, I have earned myself with a larger sum. Hehe..... Should I?

Dear has finally purchased his HP after much thoughts. He decided to change his phone as he was always having problems answering the phone or even talking with it. He decided to change away the old one before it even give up on him and this allow him to earn a little amount of money back. The choice was between the Sony Erisson P1i and W960i. We decided to go for the W960i as its a newer model although both of them has the same functions. It was about a hundred dollars different and we felt that it will be more worthwhile to purchase something newer so that it will have a higher resale value next time.

I have tried using that phone and it took me a while to get use to the phone. Unlike the normal phones, we need to use the stylus and the screen for certain function. Being a impatient gal, haha, I find it a little too slow. Sorry Dear, for the comment. I just did not do it on purpose. It just came to my mind and I just said it without thinking. Sorry.

I am glued to this drama serial which is showing at 7pm on weekends. It is a story about this girl who is the General's daughter, who dresses up as a man and does good deeds. While doing some of these deeds, she meet the emporer and a marquis son and they became sworn brothers.

The funny part is when she always get herself into trouble while helping other in need. Her brothers will then try to save her and when they realise that she is a girl and not the brother whom they thought he was, they fell in love with her. As she calls herself the Little Lobster, she also behave like one. She will not tolerate anyone who bullies her or the weak. She will fight back with all her might with her claws. Haha... it is really a good meterphor. This show is interesting as it can be quite funny at times with the tricks they pulled up with. Its a little like the Hung Zhu Ge Ge show, both funny and romantic. Haha.

I found the show showing on Crunchyroll and has been watching the serial almost every night. Oops. Hope that Dear will not scold me as he always warns me not to sleep to late while watching the show. Sorry Dear, I will sleep early....

Arrghhh... the bottle of protein hair spray which I bought has a crack. I wanted to use the hair spray today after I had washed my hair, but a lot of liquid was coming out of the bottle and leaking instead of being sprayed out. I checked the bottle and found that the top part of the bottle has actually cracked!

Yesterday when I brought it back, there were some liquid leaking out. I assume that it was just some excess liquid. But little that i expect that the crack was so huge! I hope that they will allow me to change to a new bottle as this is not cheap. Each time I tried to spray, the liquid will just spill on me instead. Hiaz......

Just went to the hair dresser today for a hair treatment. My hair is getting from bad to worst. The ends of my hair are so dry that they are all tangled up. I think it became worst after my trip to Munich as the weather there was very dry. On top of that, the last time I went for a hair treatment was like a minimum of two months ago.

I was lucky that I went there early, cos after I stepped in, there were numerous people who wanted to either cut, colour or re-bond their hair. Some of them had to be turned away or asked to come back later. The hairdressers were not able to handle that many customers at a time.

There I also trimmed my hair a little while still maintaining the length of my hair. I don't want my hair to be too short for the photoshoot or the wedding. The makeup artist told me to leave my hair longer so that she will be able to style my hair better. Now I am contemplating whether I should colour my hair has a huge chuck of it is black, while the bottom portion is brown. Wondered if its necessary to ensure that the whole head has the same colour cos now its not really that obvious. Maybe I will only do it when its nearer to the wedding itself.

The hairdresser also had advised me to treat my hair to protein spray and protein oil. I have used the products which he had recommended and they work pretty well. I bought both of them together as they were having a 20% discount promotion. All in all, I paid $52. Hiaz. This is part of the price to pay to be pretty.

I often see girls who are well dressed and looks very pretty. Personally being a lazy person, I doubt I can ever be like them. I am too lazy to wake up early and spend the time grooming my hair or make up. I just put on some basic makeup and out I go. Hahha, maybe that is why I can get ready faster then the colleague whom I picked up each morning for work. (Long story, not going to elabrate here). I also do not shop that often to have that many nice clothings to change or wear. My office wear is so predictable. Its always the same as I just repeat them each week. Haha. Ok ok I will try to look for more office stuffs to wear. Try ok?

Last week, Wanida, my ex-manager came back to Singapore for a week as there was insufficient manpower in office. Leong went to US for studies while Jo and Duke went US, Sunnyvale for training with regards to the financial arrangements for our company. While Wanida was here, we went to visit Karin and her son, Kayden! He was so cute and has definately put on weight since the last time we saw him. As usual, he was sleeping all the time we were there. Hahha. No matter what we did, he just kept sleeping and ignoring the environment. Karin told us that he is a terror at night as he refuses to sleep and torturing his parents. Haha.

Cute cute Kayden who is sleeping so soundly

I started to question myself, am I ready for motherhood? Seeing how tired Karin is looking after her son, I wondered if I could really cope. She has to feed her son once every 3 hours and express her milk for about half an hour each time. Hence she has very little time to rest. In my case, Dear will not be able to rest well each night if its so and he has to wake up so early in the morning. I really wonder if we will be able to cope in this sense. Maybe its a little too early to think now, will start thinking after the wedding.

I am contemplating whether to get an expensive and branded bag. Hehe. I always wanted a branded bag in this lifetime. Although I always wanted it, but I lacked the urge to really get the item as the price on these branded bags are really high. This year, my dearest husband has suggested that he will get one of these for me! yeah!

Hence we went branded bag shopping last weekend. We went to Coach initially and it was crowded with people. It was almost as if the items were on sale. We found only one or two bags which were ideal as they were smaller. Being not such big in size, I do not think I can carry those huge bags that they have to offer.

LV was next. We had to queue to get into the shop. Wah, is the items or the shop really that fantastic? As both of us has nothing else on hand, we just queued. It took us about 10 mins to just to get into the shop. Things inside were very pretty, however I was admiring and looking at the humans beings inside rather than the products. The customers were all quite nicely dresses and looks very high class. I guess I was the only odd one out since I was in my three quarter pants and t-shirt. Haha. Finally I settled on the LV bread looking bag but the price is twice of that of Coach. Feeling a huge pinch even before we buy the bag, we decided to head over to another outlet before deciding.

We finally went to Gucci as we saw a few people carrying Gucci. Hence we headed over to check out the prices. We were kind of thinking that the price of Gucci maybe cheaper when compared to the others. We were so wrong. The price was quite similar to LV. I felt that the price is not worth it since the items were more cloth then leather. Knowing myself I doubt I will be able to take care of the items well to maintain it in good condition.

Whist attending Kayden's full month's celebration, Ailin told me that she is heading towards US later this month. She said that she will be able to help me purchase Coach if I will like to as its cheaper over there. My eyes went wide! Shannon then added that she will be also be able to obtain some discounts for LV if I were to really wish to buy. Oh oh, which one?

Hehehe this is my first blog created. I have always read blogs which other people have created and enjoyed them tremendously. I am amazed at their life which can be really colourful and exciting. They also seems to have a lot of zest in recording them and taking so many pictures to update their blogs. I will always enticipate their next update and I will especially enjoy them if they have lots of photos. It is always like being part of their life even though I did not join in the fun.

Do I have a multiply account? Of course I do, haha I have all sorts of account, Facebook, Multiply, Connect, Friendster. Hahha, although I have those account, I do not update them that much. I am not sure if I should or if I can. I am afraid of the consequences that it may have if I were to blog things that are on my mind. Ohh... I am known to be too direct or spurt things without going through my big head. hehehe....One example is today, I have said things at the wrong time to give people the wrong ideals about things which I don't meant. Hiaz. So resolution for the year: NO SPURTING OF WORDS WITHOUT MORE THOUGHTS.

In this case, I am really thankful for the support that I have been getting from my Husband. Whenever I am feeling fustrated or lost, he is always there for me. He listens to me without fail and gives me sound advices that I need. I admire his "coolness" in handling things and seldom throw his temper. He knows when to say certain things or when not to say too much. This is something I got to learn from him. Dear if you are reading my blog, thanks for being there for me at all times. You are also my idol as I admire the way you handle things in like and being so optimistic about life. Just the total opposite of me. hehe

Today I attended Karin's son, Kayden's full month celebration. He is so cute! He is definately much bigger than when we saw him two weeks after he was born. When will it be my turn? Stop asking, haha I will want to have kids, but only when I am traiditionally married to Mr Tan. Give me sometime to adapt to married life and staying with my in-laws first. Then I will have kids. Hope that this will answer everyone's question.
