I am Out!

Hi folks,

I am going to tomorrow. More posts on the trip next week.

Ta-DA!!

*Wonder Mascara*

I am a simple person, does not like something which is too complicated. That's why I do not "dress up" my lashes for work. Eyeshadow, eyebrow pencil and lipsticks are my only makeup necessities. I hate putting on mascara, not only it clumps up like a furball, you need a makeup remover (usually oil base) to get rid of the tough ink. More precious lashes dropped out from my already very-thin-lashes.

I even tried the lengthening mascara, nope, no extended or thicker lashes even after I curled it. My eyes still look the same, lashes still invisible.

UNTIL.......my sister introduced me to a made-in-Jap mascara, deja vu Fibrewig, sold only in SASA. This mascara does wonder!! Initially, I was skeptical about this new product and I do not want to throw my $24 into another useless mascara which does not work.

My sister used her Fibrewig on my lashes and immediately I could see the difference. It lengthened and thickened, and the best part?? You can just wash it off with lukewarm water!!! Hurray!! Kudos to the Jap for this innovative product, you can always trust the oriental to come up with such invention.

See this:

The "Magic" potion

Before (notice the limp and lifeless lashes??)

TADA!! My lashes came ALIVE!!

Long..lashful and Lovely...

3 more days!!

This is the dunno-how-many-times I have retyped my entries, whenever I highlight the paragraphs, it will be deleted automatically. Arghhhh…Stupid BLOGGER!!!

Alright, I shall not let this disrupt my mood today since today is TGIF!!! Yay Yay!! AND it's 3 more days to our first trip to HK!!! Yipee!!!

Travelling is always something to look forward to, a chance for us to unwind our stress and throw our hard-earned money away. It's the packing and unpacking that puts me off, some of my friends told me that they actually enjoyed the process. Weird! Wait till they see the overflowing of clothing in the laundry basket. HAHAHA!! Packing the stuffs for my lil can be quite a task, the necessity stuffs like medicines, milk powder, bolster, bottles, thermo flask, toys, books, etc are things that I CAN'T leave out and these will take up ¾ of the luggage before any shopping has been done!!

I might have to do some last min shopping tomorrow, need to get some winter clothing for my lil. She has since grown taller and those she used last May to Perth are too short for her. SIGH!! There are ton of stuffs to buy, her milk powder, cereal etc. We are not supposed to bring in any opened milk tin overseas (smuggle of drugs) and for that, we are always left with extra milk powder including the tin at home (only consumed 1/4) when the trip ended.

I did a check on the weather this morning and it seems that the weather is colder than I expected. Ranging from 11 to 18 deg, it’s colder than Perth. Gosh!! Now, I am just hoping that the 5 days there are full of sunshine without any shower of rain.

York time

Some photos of my lil naughty.cheeky.angel at York Hotel last weekend:

Sweetener for Singaporeans

They (govt) always have a way to win our hearts ..... straight right into the poll box. DAHH!!!

Cleo Bachelors..Oh*La*La

I was pretty excited when my colleague lent me her CLEO magazine, one section of the heading caught my eyes immediately : "CLEO 50 Eligible Bachelors". By the time the page end, my workdesk (other than the mag) has already been stained all over with my saliva. lol!!SOMEBODY PLEASE PASS ME A BUCKET!!!..*SLURRPPP*

This year, the boys were cuter, hunkier and cheekier. Oh la la...Obviously, some deserved to be featured and the rest, hmm.. I wonder why (are they there in the first place??), maybe they have some personal connection to the editor?? Anyway, I list out the top 11 (supposed to be only 10 but I HAVE TO add 1 more) of my favourite homeboys (in no particular order):

1. Paul Foster, 25, business developer (No. 6) : A boy band lookalike
2. Mohd Ghazali, 23, technican (No. 10) : His smile will melt your heart away
3. Colby Miller, 25, MTV VJ (No. 14) : That sexy thing!!
4. Paul Tan, 21, NS man (No. 16) : Looks like a Korean with his slit eyes
5. Michael Leh, 25, inline skates shop owner (No. 22) : Sweetie pea with nice dimples
6. Sam Leong, 26, entrepreneur (No. 36) : My bad boy!
7. Derrick Loh, 23, undergraduate (No. 35) : Luv that electrifying stares
8. Shawn Lee Miller, 26, freelance filmmaker (No. 37) : Angelic look
9. Redzuan, 21, personal trainer (No. 43) : So boyish!
10. David Stelzer, 21, film student (No. 44) : Jon Jonsson's successor
11. Shawn Wee, 24, DJ (No. 45) : Luv his Cindy Crawford mole!

YAH BABY YAH!!

I want to rip off their shirts, throw a bucket of water over their muscular tone body, put some whipped cream and choc ice cream on the neverending lean abs and lick it off slowly....and pull them closely to me...which I will whisper.

"HELLO, WAKE UP AND GO BACK TO REALITY, THERE'R TONS OF CHORES TO BE DONE!" *whip sound*

What's Love?

Last weekend, my sister booked a room in York Hotel and invited us to stay overnight with her. She and J held their wedding dinner there and got a extra complimentary night. Everyone is pretty excited and have planned to go swimming, shopping (Far East Plaza is just 5 mins away) and chit-chatting.

J is supposed to pick us up on Sat afternoon before checking in the hotel. Suz called me shortly and told us to take a cab and pick her up. She and J have a nasty fight and he's now refusing to go to the hotel. My sister (being a strongheaded woman who refuses to budge in) without saying another word, went downstairs and waited for us. The whole evening is a drag, everyone is in a foul mood, except my lil happily running and rolling on the room carpet.

She is only married for a year (ROM) and 3 months (ceremony) and divorce is already on the cards. What I can conclude is that communication is the main cause of the breakdown, my sister works 10pm - 9 pm and J works regular office hours. By the time my sister gets home, it's bedtime for J's. They seldom talk and when they do, they like to exchange harsh and sarastic words. Why can't a married couple talk and be nice to each other?? R.E.S.P.E.C.T!!! A small tiff is common but it's critical if you starting to hate the other party.

It almost seems that a competition for best argument is being held, both vying to win and breaking the other person's feelings. To her, J is neither a Don Juan nor a nice listener. To him, she's a partying queen who didn't want to have a kid. They have decided to have a "cool down" period before deciding anything. Both have their flaws and faults but I am only listening to one side of the story and I do not want to take side on any party.

Marriage is not a game and should NOT be taken it so lightly.

Why can't love can be a simple thing?
Why can't love be uncomplicated?

Why can't love be not hurting?

What's L.O.V.E?

The usual

Camera
Taking photo for eili is a constant challenge these days, you will have to be fast and accurate as she does not stand still and pose for your shoot. The more you ask her to face or smile at the camera, the more she will look or run away from the camera. Getting a good shoot of her smile is very rare, if does, please congrats me on the success.

Poot

I am planning to train eili on potty, but before I do this I have to give her some code words for "small and big business". Taught her "wee wee" for small business and "poo poo" for big business.

Things that are supposed to turn out right, didn’t turn out right. Now instead she will say "poot poot" and clutch her diaper meant that she is letting out some gas. When she say "yak yak" meant that she is having the big business. Gosh! So much for code words!

Superglue

Every time when hubby tries to make eili sleep, she will cry for me. Her tears will drop down like the water tap and this usually can lasts for more than 30 mins. Eventually, my heart will soften to her cries and I will go into the room to let her know I am there. When I stepped in and lie down with her, only then she will close her eyes to the dreamland. For that reason, hubby will have to put her to sleep more often so that she’s used to this arrangement and not ask for me whenever I am not around. So I can enjoy my TV shows too!

I am forgotten

My dad and my sisters came over my place for a round of steamboat dinner last week. I was asking him casually whether he remembers that the day before is my 3rd sister's birthday.

Dad: Ya, I know it's her birthday yesterday.

Me: Ok, how about sop (my 2nd sister)?
Dad: Her is 7th August.
Me: How about mine?
Dad: (silent)
Me: Huh? You don’t remember mine? Suz's birthday is the same as yours, so you can't forget about that. But you can remember the rest and not MINE!!! (I am the youngest)
Dad: Ai ya.....hahahah..... I have too many children lah.

See, this is not even a good excuse. Ya, my dad had 6 daughters. 4 (of us) from the 1st marriage and 2 from his current marriage.

Every year, beside my friends, sisters and hubby, I will never get a birthday call from my parents, let alone a birthday gift. The latter is least importance. A call from them is more than enough. Sadly, the only birthday my parents will ever remember is THEIRS. Or maybe due to the fact that I am suppose to be a BOY?? My parents were hoping to see a birdy when I decided to popped out on 16th May, they were devastated of the outcome. Maybe it's because of this that I am happily forgotten??

Well, at least I still have the love from the remaining of my family members…

......though I am still hoping....

My top 10 fav movies

These are my favourite movies, which means I could watch 10 times in a row and I will still like it. I prefer true story inspired movies, which means I could imagine and grappled at the fact that this scenario has actually happened before.

Not in any particular order:

1. CITY OF GOD - True story. A peep into the brazilian way of living in the poorer part of Rio de Janeiro.

Plot: Two boys growing up in a violent neighborhood of Rio de Janeiro take different paths: one becomes a photographer, the other a drug dealer.

2. CHICAGO - A half musical half movie. This is much better than moulin rouge.

Plot: Murderesses Velma Kelly (a chanteuse and tease who killed her husband and

sister after finding them in bed together)and Roxie Hart (Who killed her boyfriend when she discovered he wasn't going to make her a star) find themselves on death row together and fight for the fame that will keep them from the gallows in 1920s Chicago.

3. DOWN WITH LOVE - You might thought this is another kind of love stuck comedy show, nah, this story is full of twists, especially the ending. I love the 60's outfits and settings. Witty Renee Zellweger and dashing Ewan McGregor totally bowled me over.

Plot: it's New York City in 1962, and love is blooming between a journalist (McGregor) and a feminist advice author (Zellweger), who's falling head over heels despite her beau's playboy lifestyle

4. AN AMERICAN TAIL - My childhood favourite. Always in tears even after watching it umpteen times. "Somewhere out there" was a lullaby to me at that time.

Plot: While emigrating to the United States, a young Russian mouse gets seperated from his family and must relocate them while trying to survive in a new country.

5. BOYS DON'T CRY - It was mindblowing show. Hillary Swank is so terrific in this role, she absolutely look "butch" in this movie.

Plot: The story of the life of Teena Brandon, a cross dressing youth who preferred life in her male identity as Brandon Teena.

6. FORREST GUMP - Who can forget the famous quote: My mama say "Life is like a box of chocolates, you'll never know what you going to get". It was a mixture of laughter and tears show. One of the best Tom Hanks' movies.

Plot: while not intelligent, has accidentally been present at many historic moments, but his true love, Jenny, eludes him.

7. LORD OF THE RINGS - Who else in this century could produce such movies that brings us to the world of elfs, hobbits and doomdead, like Peter Jackson did?? No one, I guess. 99.9% saw the movies before they actually knew that books have already been published in 1978.

Plot: In a small village in the Shire a young Hobbit named Frodo has been entrusted with an ancient Ring. Now he must embark on an Epic quest to the Cracks of Doom in order to destroy it.

8. MONSTER - I felt very disturbed after watching it, contemplating whether this Aileen brought death to herself or is she a victim of depression?

Plot: Based on the life of Aileen Wuornos, a Daytona Beach prostitute who became a serial killer.

9. SELENA - I LOVE this movie!! Jennifer Lopez should won an award for this. She looks so alike and Jon Seda is such a looker. Other than that, she's a lousy actor.

Plot: The true story of Selena Quintanilla-Perez, a Texas born tejano singer who rose from cult status to performing at the Astrodome, as well as having chart topping albums on the Latin music charts.

10. TITANIC - Who doesn't know this movie ought to be executed. This movie make me cry in the theatre for the first time and used up 2 packets of tissue papers.

Plot: Fictional romantic tale of a rich girl and poor boy who meet on the ill-fated voyage of the 'unsinkable' ship.

My man got a new TOY!

I thought my worst nightmare is over BUT NO, more nightmares to come.

1st Nightmish

When I allowed the cable man into my house last month, I know I have lost the battle. I have tried all means, be it beg or threat. I just want him to spend more with us instead of the squareish TV or PC. So, instead of getting angry with Hubby on his latest gadget, I decide to put away my resentment into contentment. I love my man but to see him throwing his money away like nobody biz pisses me off, so I shall make full use of the dial up everyday! LOL!!!

2nd Nightmish

He told he need to get his next gadget, something that he wanted to get for a long time - A Sony PSP. For the starter, PSP means PlayStation Portable. A home videogame that has been designed like a handphone without the dial. The PSP have MP3 downloadable and wireless surfing functions, how magical is that? So I reminded him that:

~To pay for our HK trip - checked
~To save some for our lil - checked
~His own saving - checked
~I can't think of any more excuses - checked

I have decided. No more stopping him in buying useless product, as I realised that I might be able to enjoy some benefit in part of the deal. WHICH MEANS .... I could use all gadgets he bought and slowly dominate it into my own collection.

Muah...hahaha...
