Trip to Sim Lim Square aka SLS

Went down to SLS today to shop around for Beau's gift with him as his birthday is approaching soon. From SLS, I realised that Spore is really a cosmopolitian city.

I saw Sony's latest MP3 player and went over to kaypoh & check it out. The sales assistant said," Xiao-jie, this is Sony's latest MP-san. liu4-ji2." I was stunned for a moment, re-composed myself and said,"Oh, this is a 6GB MP3 player." He was explaining the item as if I was a Chinese national! I almost fainted. After we left, I quickly asked hubby,"Do I look like a Chinese now? Is it my hair? (cos I pinned my fringe and tied my hair up due to the extremely hot weather)."

"No leh," he replied. Hmm... It seems like they are so used to them and the way they speak.

Went looking for LCD monitor and overheard the salesman talking to another Chinese lady. "The difference between this and that is that this has got 'la3-ba1' and that doesn't has." I was also stunned for awhile and realised that the la3-ba1 that he was referring to was speakers. It is amazing that Singaporeans adapts so quickly to changes. But honestly, I was shocked to experience the 1st incident.

Note: liu4-ji2 is a hanyu pinyin term. meaning the 4th sound of liu & 2nd sound of ji.

Went to Marina Square and gosh, hard to find even a parking lot man. Wanted to catch a movie but all the tix were selling out fast. I was there at 3pm and tickets for Da Vinci and X-men were selling fast all the way to those 9pm ones. Unbelievable!!! Went shopping and then home instead.

Guess it's time for Desperate housewives. I'm exhausted too. Been up since six this morning.

Looking forward to meeting the gals tomorrow!

Headache! But Looking Foward to ToMoRRoW!

Had headache yesterday morning, hence was on MC. Think it was contributed by an extremely busy last week. Also, bought some "offer" pillows from Aussino and my neck was aching terribly from it for the past 2 weeks. Realised every part of our body is important for our well-being. So went for a Balinese massage yesterday to loosen up my neck and shoulders' joint. Felt much better after the massage. Went town for a hair-cut and gosh, i can see SALES screaming everywhere. And friends have been sending me emails on where & where will be having sales till midnight, etc. Once-a-year GSS is here!!! Singapore is a shopping haven actually yah.

I told myself "Don't spend money on buying clothes anymore. Perhaps I need a couple of shoes but not clothes." But said is easier than done. I stepped into a boutique and bought a top. I think being a woman, it's really not easy to curb the urge to buy something. We have a wide range of items that tempts us. Examples: Clothes, shoes, bags, facial products, skincare products, books, cds, facials, massages and spas... and the list goes on. Guys are mainly into electronic gadgets which are either the PC, mobile phones, PDAs or home theatre entertainment system. I wonder is it a blessing to be a woman where we have thousand and one ways to pamper ourselves. haha... but it really takes self-discipline not to over-spend. Was looking through my letters yest'd where the cashline was advertising pple to borrow money and spend. I was telling HB," It's such an immorally wrong advertisement. How can they encourage that?" Haiz... I really wonder how many bankrupts are there who over-spend by living their posh lives using such means?

Tomorrow's gonna be our 2nd ROM anniversary...\~.~/ Feels excited to meet him. It seems like I miss him every single day when i don't see him. Am I too dependent on him? I think it should be normal. hehe... enough of the mushy but it's supposed to be my diary so... haha...

Hopefully my Head-ache will GO AWAY tomorrow. I still have another busy wkend ahead. Deep breaths... in & out.

P.S: I hope I will not over-spend this month. Was looking through the papers today with my sis and we were discussing whether to go grab lingerie at Robinsons tomorrow after work. Argh!!!

Getting More Excited for the BIG Day!

Went back home today. Cos mum will be discussing wedding stuff for the "guo da li", etc with MIL through phone. Everything went smoothly. :)))

Both mums were discussing and I feel that MIL was very "da fang". Asking my mum this enough, that enough or not... It was pretty fun to hear them discussing. Because this kind of thing, no one knows it all. It's kinda like sharing information. Luckily, both mums prefer the simple style... which is good! I told hubby and myself to let our mums discuss these stuff. Don wanna add more stress to ourselves.

MIL told my mum,"I cooked cereal prawns for Kailing today cos I tot she would be here today." When I heard that, I felt blessed to have a caring MIL. haiz... i missed my prawns today. I like her cereal prawns and she knows it. It's yummy!!! **glutton me**

After their discussion today, I feel even more excited and am looking forward to the BIG day!

What will Marriage life be?

Was talking to Beau just now after he had finished his tuition and was on his way home.

"Charles jio me for supper tonight leh. He coming to fetch me" HB mentioned. I said," Woah, so good. Go lah."

"I actually told him don't want lah. But he said 3 more months no more chance liao..." said HB. I was stuck for a moment. 3 more months? "Orh, u mean after marriage cannot meet liao arh?" I said.

I think Charles is being too extreme. I pondered how will I feel if Allan goes out for supper with his friend after we stay together. I think I won't restrict him. I believe we still need to have our own space after marriage. Even if he doesn't need it, I do. Our life will probably be more or less the same. My only concern is if he stays out too late, he will be too tired the next day. cos Charles always jio hubby and then only can make it at 12plus or 1am. Get what I mean?!

I feel excited at the thought that we will be able to see each other everyday. Just abit kan chiong about staying together with in-laws... will there be conflicts? My faith is that if I truly respect my in-laws, everything should be fine. from the current situtation that I see. unless expectations of me is different after marriage. I don't mean that there will not be any conflicts, that is impossible. But small ones here n there.

The good thing I can finally be relieved off is that i don't have to juggle between 2 homes. i don't have to bring my make-up pouch with me every day to work. My clothes n shoes can be at one place. PHEw! I can stop being a "normad".... This para may sounds shallow, but for people who have led this kind of life before will truly understand what I mean....

today is 22nd May. so 4 more months to go! *excited grrrr*

Sunday

This pic was taken by hubby when we were stopping at a traffic light junction. Felt it was a very well-taken pic!

A day has passed by just like that. Time tickles away without you knowing it sometimes.

I think I have been too busy lately. Had a very koo-koo incident which I felt so embarrassed to inform HB. Huiyi was organising a meet-up. Somehow I got the wrong date. It was supposed to be next Sun but I mistook it for today. Drove there, park car liao then informed her that I am here. Then I received a call from Huiyi telling me that it's supposed to be next Sun. GOSH!!! I don't know what to describe man. So blur!!! This is the first time that something like this had happened to me. It's unbelieveable.

Tomorrow's gonna be a new week. I shall not over-stretch myself and relax more.

Wishing Good Start of A Brand New Week to Everyone who's reading this!
