+The one with a sick shopaholic+

Nothing stops a determined shopaholic
Not even gastric flu
or questionable financial status

I shopped, with clicks of mouse, and my DBS ibanking device

I bought, in the span of a few hours
- a satin pink flora dress for CNY, it was on sale, gorgeous at $15
- A sweet top, as I dont have enough to wear with my skirts
- a petticoat, well since i was ordering something
- a navy blue blazer, so I can wear my electric blue gorgeous heels with any skirt i pair it with!

(not too sure if i can copy those pics from the blogshops so i shant, til i get my hands on the items and wear them)

I have a reason for everything! its a sickness, really

On another bright note, the shoe cabinet we ordered is coming on tuesday. Its not exactly a shoe cabinet cos Im planning to improvise it, its an open shelving unit and i bought like 8 white wicker baskets so I can line them with flora paper and put my shoes in them
And Dan got me my own glass display case for my accessories
He says its my extended bday present. lol. so tuesday! I will decorate them !

happy. but really gotta stop shopping. I promise. Im broke anyway... tell u why later!

The one with SK II cellumiessence

Now that my skin is not oily, i finally tried my newly purchased SK II cellumiessence



I bought this together with Pigu's birthday present, being a sucker for SKII membership
The non-taitai that I am.. Suckaaa!

Not bad. It applies on easily with a sponge. I wore it out for only 2 hours n it made my skin look radiant. The better part is, after removing it, skin looks more alive n radiant too

So far so good. I will update in the event of any outbreak.. Crosses fingers.
Only downside is the price. Cost me $130 for this. Refil costs $98.

HTH!

The one with birthday dinner @ Rochester

Sweetest Dan dated me for a belated birthday dinner, since we had to stay home on Xmas eve to take care of Chiyo

Rochester Park is really nice n quiet on a weekday. I like :)



No we didn't go to OneRochester. Cos we've been to oneTwentySix. No biggie deal

We went


grazing like cows!

Oh, wearing my translucent layer black dress that made everyone at work conclude that I'm going on a romantic date tonight. not false.
Self-explanatory dress. From
JB too, but kinda forced by that fierce Bunny to buy one.
Lapsed into clothes whoring again

Graze is for you if u r in the mood for austrailian fine dining. But it's not too fine, just comfortable n it's great.

Ambience - not bad!


Food - good! Special mention for wok-cooked calamari


Oh they have a lounge where they play black n white movies. Very classic!


Idling away..


Happy. Thanks my dear !







Having someone
Makes even the worst feel easy to get past
I wonder if i ever have to be alone eventually
And how is it possible to still go on





Tk care, peeps
See u all soon

The one post-christmas 2010

Am back!
What we did over Xmas:

Hosted a little Christmas party with Bunny, RR , doUdou n toffee. With Dan n his SF buddies
Basically we could not get a turkey so we went for the next best thing: roasts from Cold Storage.
Aha ok maybe not the next best thing


Packed in paper but smells good

We cooked for the dogs. Except my poor angel Chiyo who whined away
A nice first:)

The dogs took some great pics with their christmas accessories, shall upload them later, they are in my lumix

Then we tried to be funny, which meant we tried to be ATAS.



Wine n cheese. Simi gwee lor. I'm the last person u shd ask about wine. Seriously. I will say everything is good. That's cos I'm polite n sweet by nature.

Anyway boxing day came n went n we actually made it to church when we slept past 3. Mum-in-law was impressed. N we spent the day at Dan's parents, then mine.
Yeah if u asked me this is one of the more significant differences come marriage or getting your own place. We really need to set aside time for the folks, or u can feel the distance.
I love seeing my dad's smile each time we travel back for his famous cuisine, n Dan telling him from the bottom of his heart n stomach that he had set the standard for best tasting ever.
I guess marriage makes us better children.

Was on half day work on Monday . Still for the little angel who, great news n thank God, was recovering.
Met up with Bunny n RR in the evening for what else but more shopping at vivo!
Feels wonderful to head home, hug my angelic gals, shower n freshen up for an outing
I wore my single-wing top.



Got it from JB city square n I love the material
Once I wore it to work n someone asked me if Chiyo bit off a sleeve

Got myself clinique cleanser, one sleepwear, that's it. Am in control.
My ass.
Waiting for my 2 dresses to arrive!

Dinner at j pot!



These two winners r so made for each other. All out for variety in steamboat. If not for them my pot would have been Maggie mee, egg n luncheon meat

Feels like a good end to the year
:)

The one with words

Just now during lunch with my father-in-law, he said that usually after a serious infection attack, a body's immune system will be much strengthened.

I hope in the case of life, it'll apply

+The one with 10 years from sweet 17+

It's getting amazing how time flies. How I was 17 not long ago and turned 27 yesterday

Happy birthday to me :)

The day started amazing because my sweet husband n frens barged in during midnight n surprised me with an array of food n a self designed cake

They wanted for Dan to bring me out, deco my place n yell surprise . But we had to be home for Chiyo but this is no less sweet n heartwarming
Having such wonderful frens n loved ones makes life so worth living







The 1st cake

Had beauty sleep this time and at daybreak , put on my beautiful birthday dress that arrived jus in time


Camwhoring in my walk-in a little
I love the dress. Love it so much I told Dan to date me a lot so I can get to wear it a lot.

Work celebration n cake 2 in the call centre



Lunch celebration @ Dempsey
PS cafe





Cake 3







Went home to be with my angel, who needed extra TLC this season



The wonderful gifts

















& this Xmas gift from bunny's late nights was really the best of all













Am thankful, n glad that I made the right choice to realize my past mistake made with someone who was not worth it, n found a great friend who was still willing to forgive


Was a great birthday as far as I'm concerned. I'm contented :)

The one with Chiyo's treatment

Brought my little princess to the vet two days ago, after her massive vomitting. Thank God that my brother was around Yo report to me in time.
Vomiting persisted so brought her to the animal hospital today. Did tests n X-ray ..
Thank goodness it wasn't a case of item lodged in her body. Doc diagnosed as some inflammation between her stomach n intestines.
Had a 3rd jab, on liquid diet fir 5 days, a $500 bill..
Doc and staff at ARVC were great. Did a very thorough exam n explained the results to us clearly..

I realized how much I cannot stand the thought of losing her. How I can't ask for any dog better

A simple birthday wish: that my darling Chiyo, hubby, family n frens stay healthy n safe



Get well soon Darling

Learnt to be strong n rendered them powerless

The one with gift wrapping

Part 1
Well these are the first batch I've started on. I know, it's kinda late with 6 days to Christmas.
But anything is better than last year. Last year was crazy. Wedding on the way n we moved into Jelebu 2 days before Xmas. Crazy reno process n little Chiyo on the way home from the petshop
I must have been mad then.

Oh ya the presents. Did the mass presents for the young gals first
This was easy, I went for the organza bags.



I got them lipsmackers! Found the F&N series with vanilla coke, fanta, sprite, so I thoughtthey were cute.




For some guys in office, don't know what excites u but I guess alcohol works.. Jacobs creek!



Ya... Heartless chick lol

For those who need to watch diet, all naturel Jam from France



Ha ok that's the office batch!

Chiyo n Emi wishes u Merry White Christmas
