Qi Pao = Cheong Sam = Gorgeous!!!

Yippee!!! Went shopping with Donkey and Chipmunk at Far East today... I am so so pleased with my purchases!!

I bought two cheongsams!! The first cheongsams I have ever owned in my life...am as pleased as a fiddle with both dresses... the first one is a light colored one...very sweet and demure... with a layer of see through lace atop a peach lining... the lace is emboidered with gold, peach and light green floral patterns running all over it...so damn 'shu nu' when I wear it haha...

The second one is just a simple red sleeveless version with 2 simple floral mottiffs emboidered on...I love the fit... really figure hugging...but I think I shud try to do a few more sit-ups before New Year and ya tone up those arms...sign sign sign....

Ooh I love my dresses... and oh ya...I bought 2 skimpy abit translucent lace dresses from BYSI as well...a bit short but I think they are perfect for clubbing!!! Woah! $21 bucks each only.... how wonderful is that...and I got a sweater for another $33... I think it is okie lah... the style is abit like a bathrobe you might put on at the beach or pool...

YAYAYAYAYAYYYY overall a day well spent...and ya I had a bowl of my favorite mushrooms at Wheelock Place too! Roasted Mushrooms with Herbs...without spring onions (yucksss)!!!

I love TODAY!!

ooh it's been a long time since I updated anything on this blog...

I woke up this morning...still feeling kinda tired... hmnn... damn had to go to work... really hate it sometimes... makes me wonder if a 9 to 5 job is more desirable at times... oh well... so I struggled out of bed...washed my face and tried to put on my make-up... damn... recent stress is making my skin crappy...tiny little pimples abuzz... geez...still, I was eager to try out my new Shu'mera 2-way foundation compact... but too lazy to wet the sponge... #$%%$##

Make-up didn't seem to help much today so I left the house feeling crappy and ugly... ate lunch and then made my way relunctantly to the office...

My mood seem to lift a little after I settled into my office... and I seem to manage to get a few tasks done today... started and completed an article feature on RTC's banquet operations manager...think it was not too bad...

did some other miscellaneous stuff like update new reciprocal clubs onto our website and then the GM called me to do a club tour for some of his overseas guests from Philippines... sign...shoots... and I was in jeans today... how presentable for overseas visitors rite..

And oh ya...before I knocked off at 5.30pm... I submitted my proposal for the last issue of club life for ECCR yippee... hope the GM approves...

BB came to pick me outside the club...and ya in case I haven't mentioned... staff of RTC are officially announced to be 2nd or 3rd class citizens of the club... even if it is raining and we are taking a cab... we can't even get the cab to drop us off at the club's lobby...no...we have to drop ourselves outside the club where they is no shelter and walk to the service entrance which is technically located where the rubbish collection point of the club is... the club is definitely worried that we've got no money to buy perfume so have to make us walk past the rubbish dump daily to get 'free perfume' very thoughtful and economical right?

And ya... since we are on this subject... let me wash another piece of dirty linen... the HR manager pulled me to one side after Friday morning's meeting to tell me that they prefer female staff to dress more conservatively... no low cuts... god...are we in the 15th century or wat? need to wear a god-damn corset anot...siao... no spaggetti straps and no V-necks... tell me what the heck can we wear? Sweaters or pull-overs? Goodness... and in Singapore's lovely warm weather... there's no reason why I should enjoy shirts should I...

Might as well just wear a sack and cover up like in the middle east...fucking hell... hate pple telling me what I shud do with my hair and what I should wear... damn it... the company is hiring me for what is in my head rite... and I'm not like indecently exposing myself...Jesus!

why dun we all just be nuns and wear habits instead... and ya white socks over shoes so that our legs dun show... stoopid autocracy... I shall wear whatever I like and I dun fucking care... who the hell is anyone to tell me how I should dress... I shall wear feathers if I like...so be it...

Haiz... I trailed so far off... my original intention was to blog about watch 'Memoirs of the Geisha' but look wat happened... anyway... I might have a second entry abt the Geisha later...all I can say is that the book is definitely a richer experience... whether in imagery...or emotions expression... wonderful wonderful... Still the movie casting director did a great job... all three actresses suited their roles to a 'T' like they were made for it...

Kudos to Authur Golden! Brilliance in itself!

Not working today! How Great is that?

It feels like a happy day today...why? No particular reason other than I am not working today and not working tomorrow or Sunday...I've got my whole weekend to myself and it just feels fabulous!

I woke up at about 10am this morning, put on the music and lifted some light weights to 'try' and tone up my arm muscles... I think I have been eating quite a bit more recently so I better seriously try to do some workout or be threatened with the prospect of being the butt of the jokes during this Lunar New Year Gathering...

Another 2 weeks away and boy, that's another sinful time of indulgence and eating and eating and eating... geez... how could anyone resist those buttery and crumbly pineapple tarts? With their slightly sweet, sour and tangy pineapple topping...

Thankfully, I am not such a big fan of the bak kua though it's always nice to have a little... Love Letters are always nice... crisp, nicely rolled up with the fragrant aromas of coconut n eggs...

This year's new year gathering for my dad's side of relatives is gonna be at our place... that means that I must stop lazing around and try my bestest to whip my room into shape... hmnnn think it I ever have a place of my own... it'll either have to be a minimalist concept or one with lots of storage compartment and I definitely want a storeroom to dump all the rubbish and unsightly stuff haha

I am supposed to be trying to bake a cake today and I know that I have got all my ingredients sitting in the fridge... kekeke...okie let me try to psycho myself more into baking the cake...but actually I think I had better not create more mess but put my heart and soul into cleaning my room...

Hey... now that I've reached toking about cleaning up and all... I wonder why I even felt happy this morning :(

'I woke up feeling good...thinking what a beautiful day this is... but
now I think I need to reconsider my feelings...for how could I smile with a broom and mop in my hands...???'

Okay...stop complaining and start cleaning up... urghhhh..... why do things keep getting messy? I think that I must be a messy person by nature... for things always mess up big time without me trying too hard... okie... clear up time and till later! Adieus!

Okie... goodbye to the pretty nails...
