0ff1c1al end to my h0lidaes

wah.. Indeed 3 months of holidaes have come to an end officially for mi todae as i prepare to check into nanyang hotel on monday.. N wat a great dae todae was as i managed to satisfy and pamper myself..

I started the dae with tuition as usual where my student decided to drop mi a huge bombshell tt prelims is in 2 weeks.. Omg.. wan to enjoy also cannot liao as i have to help mi prep for his exams.. N the weather was cool and rainy- perfect timing condition.. I ended my lesson at 4pm and went to do "something" to my looks.. sounds like cosmetic surgery and i spent 4 hrs for this "makeover".. Haix.. so by the time i was done it was ready 8pm and i went for dinner at orchard again.. After dinner, when i decided it was high time to go back home, i came across the polo tee that i wanted!!!! wow and its in my green color.. Realli wanted to dash into the shop but unfortunately it was closed.. wondering y i din come across it yest when i was at paragon.. haix.. So theres goes my polo..

But luck was wif mi and a similar shop at takashimaya had it as well.. I went to try it on and finalli decided to purchase it.. Wat a great way to end my holidaes wif a perfect gift to myself and a makeover..

So although i will be busi next week in hall wif foc.. i have no more grumbles as i managed to get everything or ALMOST 90% of what i wanted.. Last buy for the GSS and soon reality will hit in as i will be answering queries from my friends.. The magical question asked: the total damage for the GSS and holidae period?? i shall start counting and give my frens an answer soon when the time is ripe..


End of holidaes.. 6 more daes to go...

Sh0pping... Shopping

Yay.. I am very happy todae and hence i will have a second entry.. i went shopping todae again with me best buddy before we wtched the movie.. Went to a shop at Ps and saw realli nice capris.. And i ended up buying 2 pairs straight.. Indeed shopping is my soft spot and those who noe mi well know tt once i set my sight on sumthing, i will get it asap once my budget allows for it orif i feel tt it is very nice, then i will just buy it immediately

These two weeks have been an eventful 2 weeks for my shopping extravanga..

First was a bad experience at Lido isetan... This store is the latest addition to my blaklisted list cos of bad bad service.. It realli pissed and agitated mi so much that i sent an email to provide "feedback" to the managers on the service.. wat happened??

i went into one of the boutiques there as i was on the lookout for a polo tee that i saw.. As i stepped into the boutique, no one greeted mi but i din mind.. However, the 2 part time staff was busi gossiping in front of mi and i believe they were toking about MI as fingers were pointing.. Haix.. But i ignored them and approached another staff for help.. In the end, she told mi bluntly to look for it at tt corner.. i felt so disgusted as i ahd to rummae through the pile for my polo?? i don tink so.. so i left the store fuming and sent an email the next dae.

mus sae tt the mgrs are super efficient.. By he end of the dae, i gt a reply.. Asw usual it was to apologise for the bad experience.. N the 2 part timers tt gossip gt sacked.. WOW.. on one hand, i feel pity for them but i don tink i am the first one to complain for them to tak such a drastic step.

Then, the next incident was supposed to be a happy one.. Got a call tt the polo i wanted has arrived in singapore... Finalli... i told mysef.. I even told the staff to reserve the colors for mi and made plans to go down on sun.. but in the end, it was an error.. i reali cannot understand how sales staff sell things even without basic product knowledge.. I am realli amused..

M0vie Ma-ra-th0n

This week is the last week for mi to catch up wif my frens as i will be officially checkin in into Nanyang hotel on monday.. Well furbished room wif fridge,majong table and majong and aircon... wat else can i ask for.. Hahaha..


But before i lax around in the comforty room cumes the nightmare.. 1 full week of gatherings wif my frens... It nt tt i do not enjoy their accompany but i have nvr been tt busi before except for exams and maybe shopping... Tt's all..

And as the title suggests, i have been gg on a movie spree.. Ever since Harry potter and transformers, i tot i will be done wif movies but i ended up watching more..

Started wif invisible target on saturday.. It has my favourite actors, so must support and i kinda like these dectective stories.. Then i watched a korean comedy today.. It may seem veri "ti koh" but the movie is indeed veri funni and humourous..


Tml will be another movie day as i will be watching simpsons if i manage to get the tixs.. N hopefulli i will be able to also watch the My wife is a gangster part 3..

Y must they crowd all the good movies together.. Haix

H0ttest Topic of The w33k

Hmm.. Nothing to write about for this week so i will dedicate this entry to the "hottest topic" of the week not among singaporeans onli but amongst my frens..

N the honor goes to......... CITIBANK, with their newly launched citi clear card, a no income requirement credit card.. OMG, on one hand i will applaud Citibank for their speed in launching the card just when the ministry laxes the rules but on the other, i will sae tt indeed we are so so far behind time as compared to other countries such as the US as they ahve been using such cards since god knows when..

So when they did launch the card, it was my friend who alerted mi to it.. She was one of the first to inform mi and by then she has received her card.. Indeed it is a game of fastest person rules as by the time i was persuaded to apply for it, the waiting time has increased to the magical 2 weeks.. Kinda reminds mi of the time that i have to spend waiting when i reserve items on my shopping list.. HAHA.. So now, i have shifted to waiting for my card... How ironical..

The launch has fetched mixed reactions from the public, some supported the launch of such a crad whilst some condemned the move as irresponsible.. But i believe that indeed any responsibility should be borne by the parents and the child who applies for it..

Indeed, parents should think twice about the matter before pushing the burden to others.. In the past, when we did wrong, parents will admit and apologise, but nowadays, i believe that children are indeed a pampered lot as parents will shield them from any blame and punishment even if it is their fault. Hence, i realli cannot condone people who readily push the blame and esponsibility to others rather than themselves..

An update into my life, nothing much has changed for the past week, except that i am now busy planning for the next BIG class gathering... Shopping and watching movies are still part of my weekly or rather daily routine... Hahahaa

2 more weeeks of holidaes.. sob sob...

Meaningful Week

i have been relatively busi during the past week as i was busi wif outings, gatherings and tuition... Got a rude shock as my students will be having prelims next month... OMG.. And now i am also super stressed as i have to ensure they are adequately prepared.. But that shouldnt be a major problem..

Then i had a couple of gatherings with my friends.. Went for dinners, chit chat sessions etc and i got kinda worried as most of them are now working and i realized how high the monthly expenses can run to and how tight their budget is.. They even tried persuading mi to scrimp and save as i have onli 2 years left before tt dreadful reality will hit in.. Bills. transport, food and the loan repayments.. They will keep streaming in and will be your "closest buddy" till you are able to earn a decent income.. Haix.. looks like my honeymoon and shopping sprees may have to undergo a "budget cut" soon and i am beginning to feel lousy about it..

Also had a gathering with my best friend of almost 7 years yesterday and tt was when i was counselled... Wat he saes does make sum sense but it is just that i am so free during holidae time that not going out and shop is virtually impossible.. But come school time, shopping is almost like a luxury that i cant even afford to do as i will be so so busi..

One thing that may seem eerie is the taste of this best friend of mine.. since we have known each other, i realised that we always had the same taste.. From clothing to food and even wallets and watches.. Haix. We are even using the same wallet now even though we did not buy it tog.. That's how errie it is..

then comes the interesting part of the meeting.. We had a bet with his gf when he realised that i was on the lookout for the wallet.. N guess wat, his gf was speechless as indeed i was planning to buy a new wallet and he already has it!!!But he is keeping that wallet for future use as the current one is still new..

Looks like we have to arrange to ensure that we will not end up looking like "gay partners" when we go out.. Haix..

B0red T0 Death

The past week has been so lifeless and boring.. No work, no program and no gf... Din noe that I will be so listless and everything just seems so wrong.. Din blog also as i realli dunno wat to write..

Decided to re start my blog todae as i am realli realli bored and at least typing on my blog helps mi to relinquish sum time away.. Heard from fren tt the subject registration ting is realli scary as slots get swept away in seconds ( even faster than the hello Kitty soft toy)... So its like playing a mixture of stock bidding and who wants to be a millionaire as the fastest "wins" by getting their desired slots.. Sounds exciting rite.. But u will be freaked out if you are the one bidding for the slots..

It will be my turn tomorrow and hopefulli everything will be ok..

Just another update into my shopping extravanza... I have found a perfect way to beat the GSS fans who have swept everything off the shelves... I noe tt summone wil freak out to noe tt i have found a way to circumvent tt, but i have decided that patience is a great virtue.. So my solution is....... To Place an order for those items and wait for them to ship it to Singapore... Muahahahahahaa.... 2-3 weeks is all it takes...


Happy once again as everything seem to be finalli in order....

R0tting aT h0me

Haix.. these few daes have been the slackiest daes of my holidaes.. been doing nothing except watching dramas,tv, eating... The onli time i have been out is on tues for a wedding dinner and for a movie on wednesday for transformers..

The movie was supposed to be an enjoyable one as it was my first movie in digital format.. At my favourite lido cinema... But my entire experience was marred by a technical glitch.. for the entire 5 minutes there was screeching sounds from the speakers, which was indeed deafening.. And afterwhich, there was completely no sound... Reminds mi of my younger daes where in order to put us to sleep, my babysitter will switch off the TV volume and make us watch TV with no sound.. I have since called it " Ya Ba dian shi".. Haix.. But luckily, the redeemin factor was the sleek graphics which i found rather nice.. N it was over before i could know what the story was all about.. so at the end of it, all i can sae is the movie is about robots changing to cars and vice versa..

As you can see, i have been rather obedient as i have not been shopping.. N its ready the fourth dae.. Horray!! But the real reason behing this abstinence is because the stuff that i wanted to buy but have delayed till now have all gone OOS..

From my slippers to my shirt.. N i have to wait a freaky one month before it will arrive.. Worse still, i quote the salesman: " Im sorri Sir, the next shipment that is cuming in a month may or may not have the design that you want. It depends on the merchandiser".... This is the one sentence that i have been hearing for who noes how many times. So in order to not hear that irritating sentence eva again, i have decided NOT to go on shopping any more till i manage to settle those Outstanding items..

So friends, i am now realli free as i onli have my lesson commitments.. Other than that, i will be free.. wat a sad way to conclude my holidaes..

I hate the GST increase.. Its to blame for the predicament that im in as everything is now OOS.. Haix...

On your mark, get set, go!!!!!

omg.. saturday is indeed a veri bad dae for going out... Everywhere is so so crowded as people gear up to do last minute shopping to beat the GST increase.. So as expected, alot of stuff went OOS ( out of stock) and you can see desperate people running all over the place.. I do admit that i was one of them.. Ha ha..

Wanted initially to buy my sling bag as there was a 10% discount on it.. This brand seldom/nvr had any sales before so this 10% worked as a psychological incentive for mi to bust a decent sum of my allowance just to take advantage of it.. But as expected, the color that i wanted was OOS and there was onli black, sandy brown and some other colors which i don member..

In the end, i rushed down to orchard to get that bag as there was one last piece available.. N guess wat, no discount at that store.. But still, i willingly wanted with my money as i realli luved that color..

MORALE OF THE STORY: Shops should give a discount at one shop and put the nicest color/design at another without the discount.

On sunday, the first dae of the GST hike.. i went for lessons as usual and after lessons, went for dinner with my dad.. My goodness, the food centre was crowded as well.. And guess wat, even food also can be OOS... Haix.. so we ended up eatin chix rice and satay.. so boring...

Tat sums up my boring weekend..
