New Year Resolutions!

Year 2008 is gonna be here in less than 24 hours, so before it comes, I shall do a short recap of the major happenings in 2007 :)

In January 2007,

I completed my Final Year Report, after which I had my VIVA presentation which pretty much marks the end of my poly life..

I've gotten full set of animals for mahjong, completed with half colour.

I went for Rain's concert and the amount spent was totally worth it! (okay, even though I didn't fork out a single cent)

There was renovation works at Video Ezy KAP.

In February 2007,

I bumped into my Primary School teacher, gotten her number with hopes of having a 6E gathering with her, and then lost her contact number when I changed my phone to K800i (I accidentally deleted her new contact instead of old :()

I've gotten pongponghu for mahjong, nothing special you might say, but it's pongponghu without pong-ing tiles that people threw.. meaning, I gotten the same ones by myself!

Wei Ming 一炮三响. In English terms, it means he threw a tile which all other three players want.

I met the new addition to the cute brothers' family.

In March 2007,

I won my very first lottery.. (it's also my very first toto ticket)

I tasted my first donuts from Donut Factory.

Went for two job interviews, didn't get selected for one, but rejected the other.

In April 2007,

I realised I have the tendency to fall down in movie theatres.

I got attached :)

I also met my boyfriend's clever niece, Alanah.

In May 2007,

I took a photo of the chocolate penis my colleague bought for all of us from Philippines and it violated the rules of service from Photobucket.

I got attacked by mosquitoes.

In June 2007,

I went for my first overseas trip with my boyfriend.

My boyfriend turns 24 but he went for a company dinner, so I didn't prepare anything.

In July 2007,

I went for Jay Chou's Secret Tea Party at Dragonfly.

In August 2007,

Basically nothing much happened in this month.

In September 2007,

Nothing much happened in this month too.

In October 2007,

Nothing significiant happened in this month too.

In November 2007,

I've got a very serious case of chalazion.

Cooked pasta with my boyfriend.

Had a chalazion surgery and looked like an alien for a day.

In December 2007,

I went for the second overseas trip with my boyfriend and family to Taiwan!

I went to Jay Chou's restaurant as well.

My boyfriend made my birthday really special :)

End of Year 2007 recap.

I've come out with New Year Resolutions!

• Obtain my Driving License
• Eat more vegetables
• Save more money
• Keep my resolutions
  

Basically not much but it's still a list! :)

What about yours?

Two Christmas, Three Birthdays

Had a Emo5 Christmas gathering on 22nd as mentioned a few entries before.

It was like last year; drawing lots and then present hunting, so we set a time to meet up at The Manhattan Fish Market at Clarke Quay.

The service there is just lousy. They don't allow half of us to go in unless everyone is here! Reason being they can't allow us to hog on the tables. Alright, so Christmas and weekend's at fault but then again we made a reservation beforehand!

Well, if they do allow reservations, they should allow us to sit in there till everyone arrives right.

Food was just alright only the singing birthday song part is acceptable because they sang very very loudly.

Oh yah, it was a birthday celebration for me as well.. and I love the "magic cards" done by Xeno, JJ and Wenna! Thanks guys :)





On Christmas eve, my company had a present exchange session as well! Basically it's the company's tradition for us to draw lots about a week before Christmas Eve so we can hunt for presents for the party we drew.

Had a mini birthday celebration for me and my boss as both our birthday falls on 28th. Now I finally understand why he was complaining every year he had logcake from the company as birthday cakes =/





Yesterday was my birthday!

A big THANKS those who wished me Happy Birthday and a big THANKS to Jiexiang for giving me a wonderful day!

I had to work and I received a bouquet of blue roses delivered to my office! So embarrassing as my colleagues went like "so sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeetttt..........." and wanted to take photos with the roses and me and the present they gave me..

The roses were sweet, and it's even sweeter when Jiexiang knows I likes blue roses even when Wenna don't believe and fake ask me a few days ago.. He always take notice of little things I don't even know..

But Jiexiang was also very honest by telling me that's the only surprise he had for me -_-; So I asked him to set a place for dinner without telling me where so that's a surprise too..

He brought me to Aji-Tei! I don't like Aji-sen (Aji-Tei is by Aji-Sen) but I love the tomato rice at Aji-Tei! VERY VERY NICE!!! The dessert was okay only though..

After which we proceed to the carpark where he present me a Bengawan Solo marble cake as birthday cake! That's what I wanted but sweet boyfriend asked for two big candles and one "Happy Birthday" acrylic for the cake.. but.. he forgot about matches/lighter.. LOL.

He gave me an Escada: Into the Blue perfume! It's such a "blue" day as Jiexiang also wore a blue polo tee.

Birthday "blues" : Bouquet of Blue roses, Blue perfume, and a Blue polo tee boyfriend.

It's love ♥



P.S. The bear in the photo with my bouquet of blue roses belongs to my colleague. Oh and if you noticed, the perfume's cover is very special as it's deliberately made it that way so it's only covered halfway! :)

Taiwan 2007 // Day 1 : 041207

Long awaited entry for my Taiwan trip photos! Basically I'll blog day by day so here goes Day 1! (Click on photos for a larger view!)



Upon arrival Taiwan and awaiting our luggage to be loaded up a van we booked to bring us to our hotel.







Our hotel! 4 star I think? Anyway, the hotel's name is 神旺大饭店, and it's 旺旺 theme! I reckon the boss of this hotel is the boss of 旺旺.



You should get what I mean now..





Really everything also 旺旺.



Apparently they misspelled my boyfriend's name..

Our first stop in Taipei was Danshui (淡水) !













This is for Wenna!



The birds' egg over at 淡水 is very nice! The sweet sauce with the pepper.. ahhhh~ Heaven!

Went to Shilin Night Street (士林夜市) after that!







Ate the original XXL chicken here! But I don't like the ribs....

And the 鲁肉饭 here is very nice and cheap! Just NT20 for a bowl (not very big bowl though) but is very very nice!

Nothing much to shop as this is winter time so just went around to look at the shops instead. Very much like Bugis street but much bigger here :)

P.S. Anyway I do have a Travel blog (linked under "Parts of my Life") to document all my travel logs :)

Emo5 X'mas Gathering

Had a X'mas cum quite a surprise birthday celebration today at Central's The Manhattan Fish Market. Quite pissed off with the service and food was just okay.

Nicest part was present giving and birthday cutting though, my first birthday wish for the year.



Thanks Wenna, JJ and Xeno for that special one-of-a-kind magic cards! (is that what you call it?)
Thanks Wei Ming for the X'mas gift.
Thanks Theresa for the X'mas card.

More details to be up once photos are in :)

$$

Left with $60 in account to survive.
$40 cash for food expenses.

Still have two Christmas exchange presents not yet bought (budget $10 and $20 respectively)
Ez-link card left with less then $10.
Christmas dinner with M05.

(Thanks boyfriend for the movie/dinner treats these days ♥)

Eight more days to payday.
Probably one or two days to process cheque.
That means at least ten days to get my pay.

Oh god, 2008 please come sooner.

I'm back!

Just here to blog for a little while, photos maybe this weekend else next week, probably in three months' time cos my boyfriend is always so slow in uploading photos -_-;

Anyway, I enjoyed my trip alot! Abit disappointed cos it's the "wrong" season and nothing much to shop cos well, the clothes are not very suitable for Singapore; thick jackets/coats, leather boots etc..

The thing is, it didn't rain at all!

Well this is where I was located during the trip:
4th December : Singapore / Taipei
5th December : Jin Men
6th December : Jin Men
7th December : Jin Men
8th December : Jin Men
9th December : Taipei
10th December : Taipei
11th December : Taipei
12th December : Taipei
13th December : Taipei / Singapore

What I heard was, when we were on board to get to Jin Men, it rained for days in Taipei, and when we're back, no rain! It only rained on 13th when we reached the airport.

All I can say is, HENG DAO LAO SAI AH :)

Leaving on a jet plane

I'm leaving in less then 24 hours!

SO ANTICIPATED!

My flight is at 8.35am, Terminal 2, flight no SQ872. (should be lah. Mr Boyfriend don't know but this is what I gotten from Changi Airport website)

Who want send me off?

LOL. It's okay lah. Mr Boyfriend will be there to send me off, and I'll be there to send him off too (only to find out we're sitting next to each other in the plane)

Going to 淡水 tomorrow! That's the place where Jay Chou filmed his 彩虹 MV, the one wherehe lip-sync with his vintage car.

Went for rebonding of fringe ONLY + haircut yesterday. Total damage : $68.50 (ARGH)

Went for whole face threading + mask just now. Total damage : $25.00 (very worth it! and my face is so smooooooooooth now..)

Total damage to look good = $93.50

I swear I'm not going back to where I went for fringe rebonding anymore. Such little hair for $55! They're lucky cos the hair stylist who used to cut my hair went overseas grrr.
