The one with Dan's 31st

On 3 days leave.. A long long weekend for us in celebration of ..
Dan's 31st !!
Lol old
See how nice his wife dressed up for him?


machiam my birthday, but this spandex dress is so comfy! I hate jeans now haha
I walked past the shop in far east today n saw the coral version. Which is so nice! I was too paiseh to buy it cos I was wearing it, but I'm going back I swear!

Anyway I surprised the birthday boy with an iPad, it's keyboard dock, n an all-expenses paid accesories shopping trip!

Dan is of cos, very happy



He got an Ed hardy case, n this ribcage case he'd always wanted..



It brings a smile to my face, when someone I love is happy

Happy happy birthday!

Well hello~
Look what appeared behind the dresser "throne" (yep thats not a dresser chair, we bargained for this chanel like cushioned one like hell, so a throne it is)



Ok story is, most of you know Dan has one of these glass cabinets for so long. It was his dream since the days he browsed a certain handphone shop (and later, became good frens with the boss and get all sorts of crazy discounts on phones)
So i looked on in envy as he showcases his gadgets

And to stop me from trying to girly-up his manly gadget cabinet, he got me...

my own!

hee.
so far only the top 2 levels are done




Level one was for my very modest, display-able, pretty accessories
which means to say precious stones and elements or pass-down-generation jewellery, nah, not here
and of course, Louis Vuitton "Icons" book Dan got from Japan.

You can see I have very little accessories!
This I am proud of. I spring clean regularly plus i dont accesorise too much
i dont think anyone will wear any 5 year old earrings rite?



Level 2, im hoping will become the start of a perfume minature display



aha.. still thinking of the rest.. taking my time.

Im luving my home more n more!

+the one with a Shoe Cabinet+

Here it comes, and here it is!

Poor me tolerated an ntuc plastic shoe rack for a year since moving into our Jelebu Homie. So for my 17-again birthday (extended version), Dan got me this and it arrived today!

We got this simple shelving unit from Ikea, so that I can get a little of the country look by adding white wicker baskets n cut-out rice paper lined. Its pretty budget too, the whole ensemble, excluding delivery n installation of course, was only about $170? (sorry we both cant remember cos there were other things)


I like it! its not too fancy, but has room for a little indulgence. And, it doesnt irk me cos of my "thing" about airing my shoes. I cannot stand to wear shoes dug out from dark places.. ergh!

Ok one without the lomo..






Oh and while we are on this, here are the sweet heels i got from a JB shopping trip with Bunny
love the blue! even bought a bf blazer just to match this with any black or white dress I have
And its cheap! Who says u cant get nice stuff cheap?


Ok off to deco my own glass cabinet. The story up next!

+ the one with the 2nd second day of mc+

Funny, this is my second 2nd day of mc in a week. remember last week?
turns out some virus brought me down again after New Year Midnight and made me feverish for 3 whole days.
Slept and slept but the fever just wont go away
until I went to the super popular doctor at Toh Yi Drive and had to wait for more than 1 hour
thats when the fever said "whoa.. ok" and backed off only after i was given a million pills and another 2 days of mc

Didnt intend to take mc today too but i was supposed to be on pm leave anyway
waiting for the furniture to arrive and perhaps bringing the gals for grooming
and if i had went, all i would be wasting time on is sitting in a meeting coughing and waiting to update some items
no thanks

Gonna clear up some space for my display cabinet, thats where all my accessories will go
later. wee...

+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

& 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

Think I might have spent crazy this year.
It's been a crazy year.
But a great year.
Learnt truths
Stopped being naive
Found frens who really care
Settled down with a great doting guy
Got backstabbed,bad
Learnt to be strong n rendered them powerless
Completed each day with my very own dogs
Knew what truly matters

Merry christmas!
