while waiting for shuiling to prepare
i shall do a short post.

well, christmas is coming, every one is getting hype up with this season of giving.
im excited w it too.

bro got all of us presents from US,
gonna meet his friend to egt them later.
his friend says, its heavy. at that moment,
i dont feel good.

i guess he prob spent a lot on us.
:( but once again, who doesnt like receiving gifts?
more over, branded gifts like ralph lauren, coach, katespade, oakley blah blah blah.
not being materialistic here, but the brands are really pretty attractive? 

with a brother who spoils me like this,
who needs a bf?

hahahahah.
or how much more does a bf needs to do?
ho ho ho.
beware. and be very afraid.
im a high maintenance girl.

oh wells.

im not a perfect girl.

Christmas for the past 20 years hasn't been any special day to me. It is just any other day except I get a break from school/work. I've never liked crowded places so I don't usually go out on Christmas. But sometimes, I just wish I could have a nice and special christmas.

The whole of December has been really busy for me. Perpetual ringing of the phone really irritates me, especially for phone calls that I receive in the middle of the night. I'm so glad that all these has died down, now nearing the end of the month. I'm so looking forward to the long weekend this week.

Finally after 10 years, I've cleared and changed all the furniture in my room. I love my new bed frame. It is AWESOME. =) Recently, I feel really homely. I feel so lazy to travel and walk.

I've learnt. Not everybody appreciates what you do because they took you for granted. Have they turned back and ask me what I wanted?

*
The family has been very supportive. Thank you Elena for everything. Thank you for being the middle man. I'm so glad to have you around in the family. Nobody dared to speak to me about it. Nobody dared to ask me anything. But I'm glad, everything has worked out fine as what I've wanted. I fear no longer.

Last Thursday..

The electrical supply got cut cos Mum forgot to pay the bills. They didn't reinstate the power immidiately after the bill was settled. I showered in the dark in freezing cold water; no heater and apparently all the torchlights ran out of battery. My phone died on me and there was no electricity to charge it. Mum provided me with a laopok w910 which is well-known for hanging. D took out the SIM card from my iPhone and placed the holder back in the opposite direction causing it to be stucked. I was 2 hours late when I met Mel Jon Niven & Derrick at town. Was informed that my iPhone 3Gs can only be collected on the 26th of December. The w910 hung on me each time I made a call. My old iPhone incurred a cost of 80bucks for fixing the SIM holder after it broke the pins inside. Plus I had no music and no tweets the entire day.

KNNBCCB. Sucks to be me. FML.

Suppose to be in office now but all thanks to the tummyache I had (and still having) this morning, I couldn't make it ):
It's the first sales builder with new team and also the first sales builder I'm attending and I didnt manage to be present!!!!! Totally sucks and now I'm just totally waiting for helpful-Hendri to send me an email on today's session!
Training with Boss this afternoon has to be cancelled too. Totally screwed up Monday.
I wanna go Sales builder and Training...

Just hoping for the rest of the week to be so much better cos there are tons to look forward to!
Tuesy Christmas shopping with my lovely Shan! Might be going for brazilian too (: Wed will be homie day to wrap the present and search for recipes Thurs morning to bake muffins/cupcakes/whatnots before picking K and CJ all from camp. Hang out till Christmas service and later to Tianwen's place for Christmas party! PJ THEME! Got my PJ from sissy already :D Friday is Christmas house party at my place with the relatives and all. Usual routine. Buffet this time round rather than mom's signature laksa/prawnmee Sat & Sun will be spending quality time with K.
CHEERS TO LONG WEEKEND!


AVATAR!
Like what Tianwen said, one of the best in 2009! Seriously, didnt expect a movie so farfetched to be this awesome. Have been thinking if its the storyline or is it just the effect that makes it so good. And after much thinking, I think every effort that has been put into the making of this film helps make it a must-watch! Including what Cejie said, that they clocked 200hours of film for this 165mins movie. 


I still didnt manage to get the name of the female lead cos the subtitle was in chinese and I just cant seem to recall. Well at least we all know the guy is called Jake and their 'God of nature' is Aywah :)


Lunchdate with M + Chrstmas CGM celebration
Met up with Melia for Aston's since she's been craving for mashed potato and I've been craving for steak. Cliche it may sound but so many plans to fulfil with so little time. We've yet to have mini-steamboat at Changi Airport, hightea @ 313, dine in Relax etc. Really cant wait and I'm bloggin it down so I can remember cos we always forget what we planned to do! -.-
Had a great time as usual catching up with her! We only bought an item each despite having such strong shopping mood. Visited the 4storey-F21 and to my disappointment, there werent much stuff that caught my eye, needless to say to buy.
After that, M went to meet Shang and all for chillax while I travelled all the way to my hometown (The West) for Christmas CGM Celebration-cum-gift exchange! Okay what a name I created. Anyway it was at Christine's place and we had dinner at her 'rooftop garden'. How nice (:
On a side note, I was over the moon when K called at 6ish and told me that he can bookout!!!!!!! Finally a friday-bookout :D :D :D That boy tried to lie to me that he failed his SOC so cant bookout but boy do I know him well, I totally busted him! Even up till now when he has already booked in for a brand new (short) week, I'm still excited over the fact that he booked out last friday! :) 
So last minute but so awesome to be able to see him and have fun tgt at the celebration.

Melvin's cellgroup was also there for the celebration and that shouts 'HELLO YINLING!'. Its always nice to reunite with pri/sec/poly friends through a way or another :) Feast was good with Japanese pizza, pasta, beef slices, chicken, ribs and yummy logcake from swensen's! Afterwhich was time for gift exchange!!!!! It was such coincidence that Jeremy (my senior from flute) and I both drew the lots to get pressie for each other! Pictures below :)
Christine's shocking-cute wallpaper!


Christmas shopping + Candlelight serivce
Woke up at 7ish am to be in office for training only to find out that training has been postponed to today (ahhhhhh and I missed it ): )!
So made my way down to town to meet K. That boy was being such a sweetheart to rush down despite me waking him up from his slp with my countless 'should I call boss or msg boss?' phonecalls and with no complains. Really appreciate him! Lunched and did some Christmas shopping. We're suppose to get a unisex gift for exchange for our PJ-party and this sneaky boy stole my idea so now I'm present-less. Cant wait to meet shan tmr for present hunting!

Had candlight service later in the afternoon. It's my first time there and it was _________. Fill in the blank cos I really cant think of a word to describe how good it was!
A picture speaks a thousand words. Check out the photos :)
 

 
Fellowship at this BKT place opposite Central. Very yummy and its opened by one of our church member's dad! The chillipadi was shiok to the max. Didnt dare to eat that much cos I'm scared they might be shock with the amount and the redness of my face :/ haha. Avatar with the BBFs @ 0030! As mentioned, the movie is awesome and it's so awesome that eventhough it ended 3ish am, none of us fell aslp, not even the armyboys!

 

Yesterday was homie time with K.
Caught Surrogate online over dinner :)

I'm so excited for the week!!  

 

好想信这个他会不一样。。。 他不会让我再受伤吧？ 

hello! this is me from incheon airport.... not wanting to go back! :"( i seriously love korea!!  even though it was a really tight schedule, im so happy that i managed to meet all my korean friends! youngjae unnie, junseo, in young unnie, sook hyun... the drawing show peeps. they are probably the ones that really made this trip so memorable! :) theyve been soo sooo good to me!! anyway, im also glad i managed to see so many more places that i didnt expect to see during this trip. :) okay time to board! will update ive got like a million photos. :)))

  heh.. yup. Goofy hat inspires the goof ball in him... so adorable! <3 

i created the complicated situation.


anyway, i realised that there is an increase of readership of joan's blog.
and i do seriously wonder if that is a good sign.

oh well. but i still do enjoy an open situation there is nothing much for me to hide.
anyway, here are some pictures taken over these few days.
w "my" (not really mine) phone.

at marina barrage, it was my first trip there.
well, it was really windy.
and the scenery is really good.
i feel like sleeping on the cao pi. hahahaha


at tamp


then lastly, it was an unexpected date at powerhouse



thats abt it. :) i met a lot of my friends at powerhouse.
woots. long time no see. .

i kinda lost the motivation to work. damn it.

Finally the key event for the week down!
Had SPCO D&D yesterday at Grand Corpthorne Waterfront.
Everything was great, from the food to the ambiance to the company we all had. Rushed down like mad cos dad came back late and I was suppose to reach earlier for the rehearsal. Ya, ShuHui, Terisa and I did the Wonder Girls dance - Nobody!! It was a freaking last minute arrangement but I'm glad we pulled it off pretty well (: Wonder if the vid will be up in fb :/
As usual from all other events I had with them, the dinner and dance was heart-warming and each time without fail, the peeps just make me look forward even more to legally join them in Feb! (: Had a great time, pictures ahead!

 
SimpledSTAYOVER
Jadestar came over in the late afternoon to play with Xuan and all! Waited for Shan to reach Punggol before we went over to pick her up and later to Jo's place to pick Ting up! Chomps for supper and Frolick for dessert! A simple short casual night out but I really love my girls and had a ton lots of fun! Wanted to have dessert at my fave dessertshop but it was closed by the time we reach there ):
Came over my place for stayover after supper! They were camwhoring so badly and the next thing I rmb was we talked till we all fell aslp! Or is it only me?
Anyways, woke up, got lunch, download this software the girls intro-ed me to for watching movies and series, had lunch and caught New Moon :D
 

WeekendLOVE
K came over to office to pick me up for lunch before service.
Meeting was delayed by an hour plus so that poor sweet awesome boyfriend waited for exactly an hour. Felt so bad but really appreciate the fact that he came over! Meeting was rewarding and we got to meet MaryChen, Top of the table for ASIA. She's like the top agent in ASIA. Gave us a short speech that I believe really impacted all of us.
Lunched at Anchorpoint before service! I'm really looking forward to Christmas Service. Really hope that K can book out in time for it!
Fellowship at Tampopo @ Liang Court. My 2nd time at Tampopo and it only made me double sure not to dine there again!!! Really don't like the food la. Still fellowship was good! It was fun(ny) discussing about Christmas-Cellgroup meeting this friday, the food and all.
We are all hoping for K to pass his SOC so he can book out on Friday for cell!!!! (:
 

SPCO 3rd D&D Had performaces, speeches, games, great food, testimonies etc. Really had a great time mingling with all of them! Really wish that K was there but oh wells, hopefully next year he'll be able to make it (: Everyone was like asking 'where's your boyf?'. Me: 'oh army loooooooooo'. Boss and Lao Ban Niang was really sweet to prepare the corporate photo we took last sat during meeting and frame it up for each and everyone of us (: Awesome picture taken!
 
Looking forward to training with Boss this Saturday (:

Till then!
It's Breakfast time (:

wouldn't it be nice to be a cat?

everyday wake up and do a lazy cat stretch. groom yourself. eat breakfast. groom yourself some more... curl up against your owners leg and purr and manja a bit.

get someone to scratch your belly. purr some more. take a cat nap.

teehee.

i'd be a fat cat... like Garfield.

RIP ♥ McCoy Tham

Visited his wake at Jurong earlier on.
My deepest condolences to the family.

Bran organized a mini BBQ at Ris Grandeur recently in collaboration with Derry's POP. Twas good catching up with the handful of them. The boy and I did buffet dinner at Grand Corpthrone on Sunday night which left me with a massive explosive tummy. Sweet treats are without doubt my greatest weakness. Completed the 6 chpts of ancient classic film Young & Dangerous (古惑仔) and I'm currently hooked onto The Gem of Life (珠光宝气) which has a whoopin' 82 chpts! I know right, sucha cheena chingchong pingpong.

( just another word I never learned to pronounce )

my neck is breaking.
:/

don't close that door.
please. don't do that to me.

one of the amazing talents of the female shoppers is the fact we are able to spot potential to-buy items from afar. and i am rather good at spotting such stuffs and falling in love with it and will whine about how it is so expensive and all. and my dear-wonderful boyfriend is such an angel becos he will offer to pay if he thinks its nice and worth it and of cos i will know my limits. I hate knowing that he is spending money on me thou he doesnt mind.

I am just happy that he has the patience wait, sit or come into the shop and follow me around giving me his most sincere comments. how sweet. hahaha. but i guess today is the day he will try not to say positive things about the things i wanna buy. hahaha! we were having fun entertaining ourselves with the mission to curb my shopping spending. he kept saying look straight and you wont be able to see what's inside the shop and all. however i have eyes that will just automatically turn where there are attractive items. and he will just keep on saying look straight. When he realised it wasnt working, he said, "just look at the floor and walk"

We just laugh at our silly-ness. I cant wait to see him on THURSDAY!!!

I am so proud of myself now!!! finally i have finished my part for ZY's christmas plus anniversary gift, its only left with printing, and i hope the printers will go well and i can pass it to him on time. I cant wait for thursday to come!!! i am so excited for thursday. Celebration Lunch is going to be so awesome!

This year ZY and i will not be spending our first christmas together, as usual, i will be going back to kajang to spend it with my family and he will be staying with his parents. I am still wishing that somehow we could spend christmas together or at least i could show him the side of my family spending christmas together. Its funny how my family isnt christian but somehow our christmas celebration is more like a celebration, a big family party, and our chinese new year is just so quiet.

We will also not be spending our first V-day together, not that its important but i am still hoping that on that day i could just chill out with ZY at home and have a home cook meal, enjoying each other company on V-day. I can do without the flowers. hahaha! I still rmb what i did for this year's V-day, stayed at home with the girls and watch movies plus falling asleep on the couch. hahaha! the street was too commercialised.

At least now I know 2009 has been a good year for me!
