16 -23 dec 05
Ok, here is a "fast forward" summary of my recent happenings.
16 Dec 05 --> rebonded my hair! Spent almost 4 hrs @ the hair salon,and that's the time I spent with two people attending to my hair at the same time. Keke rather satisfied with the results. Left the salon with silky, shiny but smelly (from the chemicals used) hair. --> Watched Chicken Little with Flutterby & XM . I like Fish out of Water more than CL --> Supper (or was it dinner) @ Suki Sushi --> Did some Xmas shopping --> la kopi @ coffee club express. --> saw a fight broke out between 2 groups of teenagers. --> 3 police patrols came but then the groups had escaped. --> left for home at 4am!!!!
17 Dec 05 --> ahh I forgot what I did that day. Only remembered I went out to PS to get my craft supplies. Yeah, I finally purchased an eyelet setter. Looking forward to use it. 1
8 Dec 05 --> KTV with HF , LY, KL in the afternoon. It's is HF's bday, but she is unable to attend TT's wedding together with us in the evening as her wedding is scheduled in Mar next year. A case of "撞喜". TT 's wedding is rather a grand affair, hosting ard 60 tables! To us, that's a lot. she really slimmed down a lot, almost a dress size smaller when she was taking her wedding pics . Brief description of the wedding dinner @ Safra Mt Faber: a Traditional Chinese & Christian wedding dinner. She wore a total of 4 gowns that nite. A dark pruple one when she was receiving the guest, then a traditonal Chinese robe , her white gown, then a red evening gown. Instead of the usual March-in, she sat it a "converted 花轿"(there are wheels beneath), being "carried" (push or pull actually) by 4 brothers,and the groom came to 迎娶新娘 when the carriage stopped in front of the stage.Then it was followed by a long but professionnally done video, hymns, toasts, hymn. It was quite rushed in the end, with the waitresses all clearing the food after seeing everyone had taken a bite. We were amazed by photo grapher's speed of phototaking . Wonder how the photos turn out.
19 Dec 05: I took leave to play Santa Claus.Meet up with ex colleagues --> give them presents --> receive presents and other freebies too ---> tong bang Dr Lowem's cab ride to Heeren--> Raffles place ---> secret mission --> Muchuan Received more gifts at Muchuan. The "yi ge yue lai yi ci" duo also came to Muchuan and had prepared unique presents for the Monsters. Can really feel the joy of giving in the air. Would classify the ambience that nite as perfect if that thick skinned group din go up to sing again. Oh we are soooo soo bad. We all choose to leave the place when they went up to sing. Understand that the Monsters had to entertain their requests, but we as audience have the freedom to move around. hahahaha. Anyway, here are some of the gifts I had received. I missed the "childhood chocolates"!! The hp pouch and notebook are "so my style".
22 Dec 05
Was talking to my friend/neighbour , Mr K ( i want to call him King Kong, but afraid that he is reading my blog now and will kill me for that. hahaha. not that he is as big as King Kong, but his name sounds like KingKong. Oops digress too much liao) on msn and to my surprise, he took a pic of the Xmas card I had given him and use it as his MSN pic.
" U help me to advertise huh" I asked. He was the one who brought up the suggestion of me selling my Xmas card online, but I had figured out that it won't work out as the operating costs are high. I would have to sell the cards at a min rate of $3 each in order to cover the material costs . With an abundant supply of cheaper, mass-produced cards available in the market, who would want to buy my handmade cards. Hahahaha.
Anyway I had "print screen" part of our conversation and you can see me going kee-siao, lelonging my card at $3.
23 Dec 05
Received more presents from colleagues. That includes a purple beaded scrunchie (awww, I can't tie my hair now), flower magnet, Body shop gift set and big plushie. Aiyah but I too lazy to take pics of them now....
