Stalk Me On Twitters!

Yes right!! I'm beginning to tweet too!! xD

Spent the past hour figuring out how to create another column for Twitter. Sweat~ And I mean it's REAL sweat! The weather is SO DAMN HOT!! So anyway as you can see, the Twitter is already up in a new column above the blog posts. Always wanted to learn how to customize my own XML template and I'm improving! =)

So now my fans can stalk on me! =) I have fans ok! At least one that I know who had been reading my blog and chatted me on MSN. We met up on Tuesday for coffee. xD

It's really damn hot now and I'm still recovering from flu. Trying to refrain from opening my room's door although it will let in some breeze from the kitchen window. That bloody Mimi got sick of the house. He now learned to sneak out the gate and explore outside!! And he did it a few times already! I had to constantly check on him to make sure he is still at home! Zzz...


First he learned how to get on the parapet at our enclosed corridoor.


Where he conveniently chew on my father's plant.

Then he conveniently walk along the parapet and through the gate!! Even wonder along the parapet outside where there's no grills!! Zzz... The other night I had my room's door opened but I shut the main doors outside. He sneaked into the tenant's room while he was showering, then he climbed out the window from there and sneaked out of the gate again!!! Grrrr!! I yet to go buy some fencing to cover up the gate. Still procastinating...

I actually have some food pictures to blog about, but just decided not to because the pictures were badly taken. =X The lighting was poor and my camera was running on slow shutter. All the pictures came out blurred because my hands were shakey. Will try to take again the next time I dine there. Hopefully soon because I want the foie gras!! xD

Suddenly interested in a Blackberry and surfing about it these few days. So happen that my phone suddenly got faulty! I was ranting to him about it just now and he say Monday go pick a new phone! Woohoo!! Blackberry Storm or Bold anyone??

One Of My Greatest FEAR!!!!

There bound to be things that we were afraid of when we were still a kid. Like some kids may be cautious when they see a police because the parents threatened them that the police will catch them if they misbehave. Like how some kids may hide the cane before their mothers realise they did something wrong. This I might have tried before but not too sure. LOL!

I used to dread going to my aunt's place who lived in Tiong Bahru. My mother always chose to walk there. There's many Flame Of The Forest trees along the way. (Or was it something else? I was taught that's the name.) Anyway, the fruits of the tree looks like stalks of long beans or peas. The fruits dried up, turned black and fell all over the streets. I used to think they were scary because they look like snakes all over the place. Wahaha!! I took every steps with chills and shiver constantly pointed at them to my mother calling out "蛇"!! Sometimes I refused to continue walking that my mother had to carry me! Muahaha!

These kind of fears we bound to grow out of it, but there are some that will never!!! One good example is COCKROACH!!! This morning a cockroach appeared on my table out from nowhere!! Big with long feelers!! OMFG!! Disgusting!! I rushed to the kitchen and grabbed a plastic bag. Was thinking to use it as a glove to grab the roach, but I ended up keep staring at how disgusting it was especially when it twitched the feelers!! Eeeee!!! It was moving slowly, maybe cripppled or sick. Mimi spotted it and was about to jump up the table to have some fun. I chased him away in case he starts playing catching with the roach around my room. I tried to call my mum but she couldn't hear me in her sleep! Next moment the roach jumped of my table. It flapped its wings! OMFG! On the floor it was still crawling slowly keeping near to the wall. Still can't bring myself to grab it. In the end I took a glass and placed it in its path and waited for it to walk in. As it went in I covered the glass immediately. Could see it twitching its feelers and moving around inside throught the transparent glass! Argh! I swung the glass outside the kitchen window and sent it diving downstairs. Phew!! I didn't send the glass down. Soaked the glass with soap after that. If you want to know which glass in case you might come visit me at my house. It's a transparent highball glass. Hehehe...

I did quite a lot of work today, how come I just can't find anything to strike off from my to-do list? My table is tidied but not my pc desk, so it's still on the list. I did laundry but only one batch and I still got lots of it, therefore not striking it off the list. I swept and wiped my room, also the hall. I err... Nothing else.. How come not a lot to name for what I did but I really done a lot of work!! Because I sweated!! Hehe...

The new chair came! Mimi tried on it before I did. Attempted to scratch it and I went screaming at him! I didn't buy it because the back rest is unique. Can't say it's the most comfortable chair, but it offers good support for the back.

As promised, idiot brought me for shopping last night. Never really shopped at all. Too late to go shop after dinner. Ate at International Building. I've been so many times and never bother to remember the name of the place. They serve the various Shanghainese delights that I want.


This is what I call 小笼包! Oops! It's 小笼汤包! Juicy!


This is good!


This one not interesting though,

Too bad we went late and a lot of items were sold out. Zzz... Only ordered these 3 because I don't feel like taking the 炸酱面. Anybody who happens to passby there should go try. 2nd floor opposite Cocca Steamboat.

Not enough time for browsing but I still managed to buy something. Bought a bottle of perfume because my current one finished. Surprised to find that Isetan at Lido don't sell Gucci perfume! Zzz... Bought Issey Miyake instead, anyway I missed that classic scent since school days. How come It cost more than a bottle of Gucci Envy?! Topped up another $11 for a bottle of shower foam also came with many bottles of free lotion and stuffs.

Suddenly just want to pick up the habit of reading once a while. Went opposite to Borders and bought a new book by Jeffrey Archer. Then came across a set of self enriching series which I strongly recommend him to read - How To Talk To Anyone. LOL!! He really bought it and it's with me. I wonder when he can get to read it. Maybe we're gonna spend the next few months of his off days at some 24hours cafe reading books!! So cultured!! xD

Toothache~

Idiot pissed me off this morning again. Last night we didn't go out. Last minute Steven had to call him to go back for meeting on his off day. This made me very bad mood. I wasn't angry with him because it's work and he wasn't the one who call the shots. I wasn't angry with Steven neither because it's about work and it's serious. I was just very frustrated that it has to happen!

He don't understand that he doesn't have a lot of time to be with me because of his work. On his off days, he comes out even later than any other days that he would meet me before work. Zzz... That's already one very disappointing issue because all the shops and most restaurants would be closed and we can't do much things even we have 6 hours to spend!! We spent almost 4 years of off days like this. I'm very getting very pissed off with the fact that he never tries to show enthusiasm or be creative once in a while by suggesting some different places to go. All he knows is suggesting to go eat, yet he don't have a fucking idea where to eat!

So I was saying I was damn sianz upon knowing he had to go for meeting. Which means he would be meeting me even later! I forsee by the time I meet him, I would be feeling very pekchek and sianz while he can't even say words or suggest anything to cheer me up. Probably we would just sit inside the car, me boiling with frustration inside and him waiting for things to happen while checking scores on his mobile! Zzz... Anyway, I waited until I got tired because my body clock changed and I woke up 6AM yesterday. He SMS me a bit during meeting, asking me where I wanted to go and told me meeting was about to finish. It was a dreadful SMS conversation because he took quite long to reply every message. I was really frustrated and decided to just go and SLEEP!!

Woke up 5AM and called him. He was at Newton. The conversation pissed me off a lot! I think nowadays I am actually pissed with his no-initiative attitude. Slow, fickle, can't-be-bothered and waiting for things to happen by itself!! Showing some slow tempo mood yet is very quick at argueing!!! He is totally inattentive towards spending time with me, even in quarrels!! Things may have just happened a few minutes ago he can forget the details, yet want to quote in his argue!! And he just argue his way through even he got the facts all wrong!! So damn idiotic!!

Anyway... A nice song here which Nicholas shared with me this morning. Old song but very nice live version.

I am imspired to learn and play this song!! Do a video of myself singing this song and playing it on the guitar!! 三分钟热度!!! I don't know if I really can play it!!

Another video here which I came across a few days ago. I was really bored and was searching for some stuffs to laugh about. This really made me laughed A LOT! The beginning seems to be normal as the host start to interview the participants but just watch on and you will know! =D

So anyway, idiot apologised and said bring me out for shopping to compensate! LOL!! Better go shower now and don't be late before the shops close!! xD

By the way... I know the title has got nothing to do with this post! Muahahaha!!

Precious Meowments!!

"Yes! Yes! It's MEOWments!! 姐姐 so stupid! Spelled it wrongly the last time! I am back with more photos! I am a good model for 姐姐 to brush up on her lousy photography skill. I am very professional ok! I make sure I sleep in the most possible sexy pose everytime, yes EVERYTIME!! So that 姐姐 can capture the meowments!


Like this!!


And like this!!

It's not easy to be a model because you need to be creative when posing sometimes. It involves some stunts at times but luckily I am physically inclined to complete any task!




I am really good!

Apart from that, other things about being a model is easy! It's all about sleeping. I love to sleep! It's my natural talent! Nobody can do better than me!




See how lovely I am!!

Of so many places, of course my favourite place to sleep is on my bed!!


Yes! That's MY bed!


And MY blanket!


Feels like heaven!! Meow~

姐姐 always come squeeze with me on MY bed and she occupies a BIG space! So rude! But I have no choice because she offers me a can of yummy tuna for that! Apart from sleeping, I love tuna too!! So I have to give in to that... Maybe I should start to charge people for seeing my sexy photos so that I can buy my own tuna next time!!

Better finish this off and go to sleep soon. 姐姐 is in a bad mood now because Uncle Idiot pissed her again. Meow~"

Purely Updates.

My body clock changed again. He was on duty to do opening last night. Told him to go earlier to finish his things so he would be ready to leave and meet me when the other staffs come. He did!! But I fell asleep. =X I feel so disappointed with myself. Haiz...

Been bo liao as ever. Took the time to learn some photoshop tricks. Now the trend is going backwards into vintage and retro. I want to do it too!


Remember this picture?


What about this? =)

Leeched a lot of brushes off the net. Searching high and low to get the particular brush that I want for that vintage, dirty and grainy texture. I shall go learn about more advanced technics next time.

Haven't been updating my photography blog because I needed some photos to illustrate my next topic. Probably need to make a trip to the Botanic Garden. I'm lazy to do that and reluctant to use a $20 coupon to drive there just for this. Maybe go on one of these weekends.

I placed a deposit at Gain City for a set of system 2 aircon. I was prepared to pay $1488 for the aircon, $150 for the bracket mount, $320 for power point and PUB approval. Someone came yesterday to access and advised on how the aircon would be installed in my home. Now I'm kind of dissuaded after hearing him. An individual MCB is needed for the power point but our current main box don't have any extra slot of another MCB. Changing a new box cost $350 more. Zzz.. And also means some cabling to be done from the hall to my mother's room. Argh!! My mother don't seems to mind what ever hacking or ugly trunking there would be in her room but my father confirm kpkb!! We yet to inform and discuss with my father. Sianz...

That day at IMM while shopping for the aircon, I bought a new chair for my room. Spend money again!! The cushion on my current chair is torn. Got a new stylo chair. Will be here on Thursday. I hope Mimi don't take it as his scratching post.

I hope this week would be a good week....

Post No.180

I don't know why I sleep a lot after coming back from Batam. I slept the whole of yesterday until this morning. Was supposed to meet my mother go browse for aircon but I slept through and 放飞机. I totally forgot about Xta's chalet as well. She was asking me to lend her the Wii cables. I guessed she didn't need it anymore.

I've been surviving on donuts for the past 2 days. LOL! Yes, the dozen from J.CO Raffles City. My father don't appreciate pastries and my mother don't like the buttery taste. Oh!! Must be the donuts made me sleepy. Too much sugar makes one sleepy. Fuck it! Stop talking about sleepy!! Keep yawning now...

Woke up this morning feeling quite fresh. Thought of getting out of the house remains a thought because I'm still here blogging. Sibeh fucking sianz! Later meeting him at IMM to browse aircon. I hope it's going to be interesting.

Back!! Photos!!

I'm back!! Well of course I should, it was only a one day trip. I came back feeling groggy from the ferry and slept for... erm.... pretty long! =D

Friends have been asking me how was my trip. I don't know how to answer that! Hmm.. I think it was just ok? Nothing fantastic, nothing to complain either. It was just a getaway one day trip.

It began with a little cock up. He went home after work and supposed to leave home at 8:45AM to pick me up but he fell asleep. In the end he left home around 9:10AM. I thought we were still on time but NOT! Xta had been showing me the ferry schedules from BatamFast website so I always thought we would be taking the 10:50AM ferry. In the end she made booking at Penguin which I didn't know the time changed to 10:20AM!! We were late for everything!! Xta and Tri already got their tickets! Zzz... Almost thought we had to take the next ferry because the gates already closed! So damn fucking lucky we met someone working for Penguin that he know. Specially arranged tickets for us and brought us in immediately. Phew!

Got on the ferry and it set off promptly. Settled down on the top deck and Xta initiated camwhore session... Lol...




This shot taken with Leica.

Disappointing camera! Or you can say maybe I don't know how to use it yet. But in my opinion, a good compact should be able to shoot nice pictures with auto mode. If I had to twitch a lot of settings with it, I might as well do with a DSLR! Most of the pictures came out from the Leica looks brilliant on the LCD display, but under exposed when I load to the computer. I had to adjust the exposure in Photoshop to get the picture above! I would say the Leica has good lens, good LCD but not an intelligent sensor.


Enjoying the breeze...


Practising on Photoshop. =)


Peeping... Heehee...

I remembered from my previous trip to Batam, the ferry took about an hour. He insisted it was shorter and his friend told him it would take about 35minutes only. Screw him! Ferry left at 10:15AM and reached there almost 11:45AM Singapore time. The bloody ferry took a long time to berth. Zzz... Anyway Batam is 1 hour behind us. After getting off the ferry, took some time off exchanging currency. We were free to roam until 12PM local time which Xta made an appointment for the massage centre to pick us. Went to the mall opposite and jalan a bit. Very fucking hungry. Lunch time!


Very familiar mascot ya!


Do you miss it too? =)


Brings back the memories....

Xta wanted to try the highly recommended J.CO donuts. We were too hungry to think that donuts are not enough. Maybe try that later as snack after massage. Didn't realise we only had 30minutes to lunch. Regretted the A&W. Should have tried their KFC. Lol...

A Chinese man came to pick us up. Later I guessed he's the boss of the massage parlor. He speaks fluent Hokkien. Anyway car ride took quite a while before we reached. I thought it was going to be only 5 or 10minutes.


Street of Nagoya.


Isabella Massage House at Nagoya Hill.

Omg! I'm loving my wide angle lens! Lol.. Anyway, both of us went for the Bali Thai style massage. Cost about SGD$22.50 for a 2hour massage per person! Cheap and also good! Tri also went for Bali Thai. He didn't like it. He was complaining being twisted around, uncomfortable and painful. LOL! I supposed he don't like Thai massage.

After massage went shopping again. Isabella offers round trip transportation. We requested to drop us at the BSC Mall which is nearby. Xta's research said it is one of the bigger malls around but so boring there!! Yes, lots of clothes but not our taste! He was complaining, "有钱怎么花?!" LOL!! Xta and Tri bought nothing. I anyhow bought a green cotton top with a kitty print. Green top goes with blue jeans and my oleng shoes! xD Took some rest at an indoor cafe. Smoking is allowed.


But you must use a broken ashtray. Hehe..

Can't say Xta bought nothing. The supermart has many cheap things for grabs. Xta was telling me about the cheap toothbrushes and some necessities. Omg! All the way to Batam to stock these?! I didn't check her shopping bag though, but Francis came to me and say, "Oei oei... Lingjia 她买好几包tampons!跟她讲那个toiletpaper也是很便宜!" LOL! Anyway we stock quite a few bottles of body scrub. About SGD$1++ for a bottle and it comes in many scent. We used one bottle that night. Hehe...

I can't remember the time when we finished shopping. 6:30PM? Or 7:30PM? A bit lost with the time difference. Anyway it was what Tri was craving for - dinner at Golden Prawn.




Wide angle lens takes very ugly closeup.


Trying to act pro!




See that hungry ghost!

After dinner everyone was feeling sleepy. PIG!! Time to hit the bed!


Very late check-in to Harris Resort.

I fell asleep probably around 12AM plus. No idea what time Tri and Xta slept. Maybe they bathed and slept in the tub. I woke up at 3AM local time feeling hungry. He bought some cup noodles from the supermart earlier. Cup noodles?! Zzz... We ordered room service instead. Avocado prawns salad tasted great. Ribeye steak sucks! After makan we slept again. Woke up in the morning about 9AM. Received a SMS from my mother, "你快回来咪咪在哭喊着呢" Aiseh! Mai siao siao! My mother can SMS! Called my mother and she said Mimi 叫得很凄凉. LOL!

Checked the ferry schedule and decided to go back earlier than 2PM which we planned. The next earlier timing was 12:40PM. The friend from Penguin sold us return tickets. Penguin ferries don't serve Waterfront terminal which is nearer to the resort we stayed, so we had to head back to Batam Centre which is 30minutes car ride away. We don't really have to go there but we don't want to waste the tickets. Called over to their room and Tri picked up the phone. Asked him if they were still asleep, informed him that we would be leaving earlier. He just went, "Mm... mm... mm..." Lol.. Still dreaming I think. We were still early, decided to head Batam Centre for shopping and food. Only window shopped because there's seriously nothing to buy. Oh and we didn't go for the free 30minutes massage that came with the resort stay. If we were to go for the massage, would be late for the earlier ferry.




Wahahaha!!


And of course, try out J.CO donuts!




Yummy~

Heading home time... If anybody has noticed, it was a futile trip for my lomo troops! LOL! At least I tried to take some pictures with Diana during the ferry back. Left two more shots in it, maybe find a chance to finish the film on Mimi these few days then send for process. Still alot of shots in the Fisheye. =(

I thought coming back early means we could have more time to spend in Singapore during "daylight" before he goes home. Well, we did... Reached Harbourfront the first thing was rushed home to check on Mimi. Dropped my things and drove out together to Cathay Photo. Bought a dry cabinet. Then he had to go home. So soon... Haiz... Anyway I didn't have any idea where to go, he couldn't stay for long either.

The dry cabinet gave me some troubles. Had a miserable time carried it up from carpark to my house. Came home and realised the cabinet was dented. Zzz... Went back to change yesterday. They don't have anymore stocks for the model I bought. Have to wait about a month. They will deliver it to me when it comes. Then maybe I will sell my current dry box to Huimin since she was asking me about it.

I always loved pastries like donuts but I never tried any of the donuts in town even when the donuts craze was going on. After trying the J.CO donuts in Batam, I was craving for more. Last night He companied me to Raffles City to tapao some J.CO donuts home. I packed a dozen!! I would say the donuts only taste great if you eat on the spot. Leaving around for too long without kept at the right temperature, the thing don't taste as good.

Passed by a Godiva Chocolate counter at Raffles City. He suddenly commented, "Chocolates can make a woman happy!" Then he offered to buy me chocolates! LOL! I accepted as appreciation. Kaoz! Anyhow pick a few cost $40++!!


Thank you darling!!


Dinner was at quite a very "lok" place...

Someone (I think was Vincent) told me of this place that serve nice 小笼包 and a variety of the common Shanghainese delights. Checked out the place last night. They claimed to serve traditional Peking food. Not a lot of items in their menu. Just a few dishes like 炸酱面, 锅贴 and such. Not even any dish with century eggs like what you would find with the normal Shanghainese delights. We only ordered 炸酱面 and the 小笼包.




Looks very plain and normal.

Tasted plain and normal too... The 小笼包 was not bad though. He was complaining he asked for some sliced chilli but they don't serve!! He don't seems to know how to appreciate food in their origins. Zzz... Quite surprising to find crowd in such a small eatery. You can even find Japanese there! Anyway, I don't think we would go back again. I don't find the food fantastic. There are better 小笼包 around.

Now holiday is over, back to sianzing in reality again. A lot of laundry to do! Upkeeping of the room too! Mimi's fur is accumulating on my bed, his litter sand is spilling over my room. Hoping to get an aircon soon. Maybe go browse with my mother tonight. Darling offered to subsidise $1.5k for it and already gave me the money! =)

Setting off...

Huimin finally read my blog and felt like killing me. =X She said I bought the things which I discouraged her from buying.. Hmmm... Did I?

The wide angle lens she wanted so much when we first bought our cameras. I told her to take her time to consider before buying since it's more for landscape shooting, probably needed during overseas trip. The first thing to invest would be the 50mm lens to shoot portraits, which she bought. As for the Leica, I said it was too pricely. Even though I own the camera now, I still think it's very pricely. In fact, I'm thinking of selling it away if the pictures turn out to be not as good as Lumix. I still haven't really try on it. Shall see to it when I come back from Batam.

Speaking of Batam trip. It's only 2hours away from setting off. I haven't pack my bag and I'm still here blogging. Shit! It's only a one day trip and I've got so many things to bring! OMFG! I'm bringing the whole troop of cameras!!! Xta said that's the problem when I buy too many cameras. Not true!! I think that's the problem when you have unfinished films in all your cameras! LOL! For this reason, the whole of lomo troop is following me - fisheye, holga, diana. DSLR is going too, can try out the new lens. Leica is of course going for its trial. Knn! Machiam sibeh pro!

Cameras alone means one bulky 6 Million Dollar bag. Plus my sling bag for money and passport then a handcarry bag for necessity. All for a one day Batam trip! It's supposed to be a relaxing massage trip. I'm going to turn it into a photo shooting field trip. Hehe...

Better get on with packing. I haven't shower... 9:30AM be at Harbourfront! Weeee!!

The Progress....

Trying to motivate myself and also feeling a bit bo liao, I decided to create a log of what I am going to do. It just show how productive (maybe unproductive) I am. =Þ

And the time starts now.....

10:42AM:
Still sitting in front of my computer checking on Restaurant City. =X

10:47AM:
Decided to buck up and get into action!

11:13AM:
Brought in mum's laundry because it's raining. Washed Mimi's litterbox. Totally dried it and filled with new litter. Now taking ciggy break. (Wtf?! So fast taking break?!)

11:30AM:
Finished ciggy break. Just came out from a shower to keep myself awake. Planning what to do next...

11:36AM:
Finished anotehr ciggy while planning what to do next. Came up with no proper plan but anyway now going to continue the action.

11:45AM:
Labelled some charger cables because I had too many of them for different equipments. Put Leica and EOS battery to charge for tomorrow's trip. Now staring blank don't know how to continue. Mimi is going crazy now dashing all over the place.

12:02PM:
Packed some items into the wardrobe. Threw some rubbish. Cleared some items out to the hall temporary for vacuum. Now ciggy break again.. =Þ Sweaty and hungry!!

12:09PM:
Finished ciggy break. Sibeh hungry!! BTH!! Now eating rice which my mum cooked.

12:45PM:
Shit! Finished lunch and chatted with Taine on MSN. Then start nua a bit. Watched some videos online. =X Omg! People upload the complete episodes of Britain's Got Talent on Youku. Better than those segments on Youtube. Just loaded the latest episode, will watch it later. Off to action again.

01:28PM:
Did a lot of vacuuming. Still not completed. Something candid happened. I tried to vacuum Mr Dolphin on my bed and OMFG!! A panty beside got sucked in!! The vacuum is so strong.. **SLURP** and it was gone!! Stucked in the tube. Spent some time took it out. Now ciggy break again!

01:42PM:
More or less completed the vacuuming. Now catching some breath.

02:00PM:
OMFG!! Did nothing just now. I break too long!! Faster get on with the work before my father comes home!!

02:45PM:
Threw more rubbish. Changed bedsheet. Done with cleaning under the table. Washed the fan. Ciggy break again. Omg! Speed up things!!

03:16PM:
Now ciggy again, relaxing. Threw remaining rubbish. Vacuumed for the last round. Mopped the floor. Moved the things in the hall back to the room. Cleared every traces in the hall and kitchen make sure I didn't leave any mess for my father to make noise at. End today's work.

Actually I'm not done yet but my father is coming back better finish up things. I'm left with table tops not cleaned and tidied. Laundry and ironing the most time consuming one. Tidying the table I can do anytime of the day even others are at home because I can do it with door closed. Laundry not possible today because not enough time and it's raining. Anyway I'm glad I did something today! =)

Sibeh tired now....

加油!!

It turned out to be another dreadful Monday. Haiz...

I haven't slept because I planned to do chores today but I AM FEELING SLEEPY NOW! SHIT! Everytime I try to stay awake for the whole night so I won't oversleep the next day and missed the time to start off my chores and complete before my father comes home. I prefer to do things alone so I have to wait for my mother to leave home before I start, which is about now and usually by this time I get sleepy! Grrr!!!

OMG!! Help me!!! Really tired now!! By hook or crook I must do it today because Batam trip is tomorrow, although I don't really know what has Batam trip got to do with rushing to clean my room. Lol...

I just hope I don't nua around too much and eventually give up and go to sleep!!!

Sinful... Pissful...

He got a chance to come out earlier than usual yesterday. Though it was only 2 hours away before I can officially drive the car, I used a coupon we drove out for shopping. I suggested Funan because I wanted to enquire pricing for the fixed wide angle lens which Richard recommended me to practice with. Also looking for a new compact camera. I was deciding between Lumix and Leica.

Just a few minutes past 6:30PM, Toto results came in on his phone. We were so happy because he striked 3 numbers combination from private bookie. Oh did I forget to say that we missed first prize 4D on Wednesday?! The number which Mimi gave came out again!! I told him always to buy system roll but he try to be clever and pick his own combination. He felt so miserable missing the first prize. Haiz...

Anyway I want to say... Sin... To others it may be a violation... But it's always pleasure to oneself. xD


Wide angle lens!!!

I was only interested in the fixed 20mm until all the shops recommended me to get this for it's wider and has a little bit of zoom. In fact, I was unsure if I should get it because it's not compatible on the professional full frame camera body. After much consideration, I decided that I might not even buy a professional full frame camera so why bother about this?! This piece of lens is exactly what Huimin wanted when we were first buying our cameras. She's going to kill me for this!! I'm sorry but this is not planned, sort of an impulse act. To make things worse, I shot that picture of the new lens with another new buy...


Leica D-LUX4

Reviewed as one of the best compact cameras around. This was also on Huimin's wishlist!! =X I was telling her the price of this thing is very disappointing and I have to really consider about buying it. But!! But.. But I cannot resist owning the pouch that comes with it!!


This is so chio!!

Whether who paid for it, I do kind of regret after buying it because of the price but I really like it very much. And I think as long as it is put in good use, then the money spent will be worthwhile. 自我安慰! 自找借口! Hopeless!! =Þ

After shopping spree, it was dinner celebration. Lol...


I seriously missed their food...

We went to the new outlet at Dempsey because we were nearby. The first time I brought him there, was the branch at Faber Drive. During then he was still protesting over beef. Claimed that he quit beef years ago. Wah lau!! If you are so devoted, then go vegetarian!! Eating foie gras is even more sinful than beef!! Imagine the geese were force fed and not allowed to moveabout or sleep until their livers are fat enough to be on your plate. I was so disappointed I wanted him to try one of the beef in the menu. Over the time, I brainwashed him. Nowadays he always crave for steaks. Hehehe...


Been craving long for their ceviche!

Ceviche is a citrus marinated seafood appetizer dish. Normally they would sit raw prawns or fish slices in lime juice overnight in the fridge. The citric acid will sort of cook the food without heat. Real appetizing although it didn't taste as great as the first time I ever tried.


I don't know the name for this...


Trust me this is very good!! The beef cooked to just the right doneness. Tasty variety of sauce to go with it and tortillas. Tortilla is like a piece of prata. Like 薄饼. The reason I don't know the name of this dish because whenever I visit Margarita's, the boss Andy will always be there to do recommendations. I've never made any selection from the menu. I don't know how to read the names of the dishes too. I was glad he was at Dempsey when we visited. I asked him about how we are going to order this dish the next time if he's not around!! Not to confuse us with the Mexican name of the dish, he replied, "Oh just tell our staffs you want the beef dish, wrap ones, big plate and they'll know!" LOL! So now all of you know too! =)

I was supposed to blog about pissful, but now I'm not pissed anymore. I am very sure it will happen again. That idiotic Francis of course. Let him off this time!

Oh! The bikini I bought from Victoria Secret came today!! The top cup is a little small but still ok. The bottom is so big for a XS size! I wear it like a comfortable panty. I wonder if it will slip off when I try to swim in it! Zzz... We shall know when I go Batam. Anyway, I don't even know if we will be swimming. =D

I hope I'm not too lazy later. The need to complete my chores is becoming critial!!
