Omocha-Land Collection 5 & Updates!
Wednesday, December 23, 2009 10:27 AM  Omocha-Land Collection 5 is up! The last collection of 2009! :) Wanna start off by saying a million thank you to my dearest sister, April and Linus! Although I am not in Singapore but they have no forgotten about me during this festive season! :) And so happy that Rilakkuma reminds April and Linus of me. HAHA!  It's amazing how things like this touches my heart. Guess being away from Singapore make me cherish my family and friends more! :) The other day I ordered 2 Pursetogo for my Miu and NF and it came after a week! The website state it takes 2-4 weeks but I got them really fast! Happy!  Yay! No more saggy NF and messy things in the bags! <3 That day I was digging into my mountains of Rilakkuma collection and found this keychain that I bought sometime back! Rilakkuma and LV are made for each other! :P Look at the matching colors! On Saturday, we went popby Chocoolate to collect the Bape X Chocoolate dotted hoodie that we pre-ordered previously. We both got 1 each so we can have couple hoodie! :)  The cut for mine is perfect but I think the one the Husband got may be a little small but pre-order items are not allowed to exchange. Bah. :( After coming back from Beijing and the beginning of the very cold winter, the toes on my right foot starts to swell and it got worse this week. Finally decided to see a doctor yesterday night and I am surprise to know that it's not Cellulitis. WARNING: GRAPHIC IMAGE! LOL  Now my toes look 1.5 times worse from the picture. (Anyway it's the right foot.) It's exactly the same problem I had last winter. I was diagnose with Cellulitis back then and yesterday when I went back to see another doctor, he said it's not Cellulitis because Cellulitis will not cause all 5 toes and the foot bed to be red and swollen. Super WTF can? Why all the doctors in Hong Kong can't give me a constant diagnosis? Last year when I have shingles, I have to see 3 different doctors for 4 times before being diagnosed with Shingles. Before that I was told that I am suffering from allergy wtf can? The doctor yesterday told me it may be Rheumatism (wtf Rheumatism on toes?!) and if the swell doesn't subside I have to go for a blood test. Sofa-king lost. I went to see the doctor wearing my usual crocs maryjane but it was exceptionally tight yesterday because of the swell and the foot bed was uncovered so my foot was bascially exposed to the super cold air. When I got home, I went straight to shower in hot water because anything below hot can cause frostbite no kidding! While showering, I notice my toes got more tighten and red and worse of all, sofa-king itchy!!! SO ITCHY THAT I CAN'T STOP rubbing it! (I can't scratch because the skin is already very vulnerable from the swell.) I started crying in the bathroom and shouted for the Husband and ask him what to do to stop the itch. I quickly jump out from the shower and continue rubbing them and crying at the same time. Good lord. No words can describe how blardy itchy it was. The itch was making me confuse and I don't know what to do but to rub and stare at it. I decided to apply medication oil but no use! The itch got worse and I totally lost control of my nerve. My leg couldn't stop twitching and it's scaring the shit outta me. I frantically googled for "itchy red swollen toes" and was lead to CHILBLAINS. WTF it's exactly the same! The symptoms and the picture! WHAT CELLULITIS and RHEUMATISM! I don't know what the hell the doctors are doing la but they are absolutely wasting my money and time and making my situation worse! From the situation, it seems like the blood vessels got confused by the drastic change of temperature. So I start to rotate my foot and exercise them to let the blood circulate. I put on a thick socks too to keep it warm. After about 30 minutes of non-stop exercising, the itchy starts to go away. THANK GOODNESS!! I WAS THIS CLOSE TO CHOPPING OFF MY TOES OKIE TO EASE THE ITCH! I force myself to sleep and this morning the itch is gone and the swell went down abit! I can finally bend my toes! PLEASE don't let me experience that kind of itch again! IT ALMOST KILLED ME. Enough of all this terrible foot story. I don't think I will be udpating again before Christmas so... HERE I WISH ALL MY FAMILY, FRIENDS AND READERS A HAPPY MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!! :) XOXO! Labels: bags, festive, health, marriage, shopping
Wednesday, December 16, 2009 2:17 PM Finally able to update on my trip! [Taiwan, Taipei Day 1: 15.11.2009] My 1st time taking flight alone. Initially my plan was to take a flight back to Singapore to meet up my girls (Ailing, Peili, Kaijing & Wenbei) and take the flight to Taipei together with them. But after booking the air ticket, I realise it's much better and less time consuming to fly direct from Hong Kong. Afterall it's over for 1 hour plus only! I was lucky to be able to book a ticket from Hk to TW from Eva Airline. Arrival timing is only 10 minutes difference from the girls. Supposed to take the airport express from my place to the airport. I keep reminding myself to get off T2 but in the end guess what? I got off T1 instead and gotta drag my super heavy luggage over to T2. -_- The flight was okie and I was knock out almost immediately after the flight took off. Thou it's only an hour plus flight, I manage to eat sleep and play games on my iPhone. HAHA Reach Tw and got a call from Ailing mei and realise that they are already on the Freego and coming towards T2 (they were in T1) to pick me up! Alamak I was still waiting for my baggage at the belt and so I ran all the way out to the bus stop and saw Ailing mei walking towards me. So we both ran together with the blardy heavy baggage and up the Freego we go!  After approx. 1 hour journey on the bus, we checked into Rainbow Hotel @ Ximending. Next stop was the Taipei Train station to purchase tickets to Hualien the next day. Had dinner at the steamboat restaurant in the train station. After dinner, we went back to XMD and walk around abit before we call it a day. [Taiwan, Hualien Day 2: 16.11.2009] Woke up extremely early that day, worrying that we might missed the train. Had breakfast @ the Hotel (which was goddamn pathetic -_-) and took the subway to Taipei main station for the train to Hualien. IIRC, the ride was about 3 hours so we spent alot of time doing silly things, sleeping and munching. Didn't manage to eat their 火车便当 because by the time the the trolley reaches all, they are all sold out. :/ Reached Hualien and when we exit from the station, we saw the lady host of our Minshu, 石头之家！ 刘阿姨 is a super nice lady! Together with her is 何先生 who was our tour guide for 2 days. We went to tour around Hualien even before going back to the minshu to place our stuff. But I think the arrangement was good because we only have 1 day in Hualien and we shouldn't waste any precious time!  We visited the Taroko Gorge, and the entire place is about rocks and mountain. Thou it's only rocks but we spent alot of time there. Haha... sorry to say I am not much of a sight-seeing person but it was still quite enjoyable! And of course how can we go on without food? Ling mei will be the 1st to complain! Haha... we ate so much that I have already forgotten what we had! >< I can only recall: Muachee, 小笼包, bao, bubbletea, pork rib noodle, 鲁肉饭， 葱抓饼，大肠包小肠，臭豆腐 and Sashimi! Before going back to the minshu, our tour guide brought us to some shop and bought lotsa firecrackers and fireworks! I always love fireworks but able to set them off ourselves is quite out of the world. Especially in HK and SG. HAHA! No pictures of the playing of firecrackers and fireworks with me thou. We had a blasting time there but I was too afraid to stand near them. I ran away each time I lit them up. T-T After fireworks, we get to release 孔明灯 also! How fun! We scribble lotsa wishes (and rubbish :P) onto the lantern before releasing it up the sky! It flew really high up and took a loooooong time before it disappear completely from our eyes! Lastly before we called it a day in the super big and comfortable minshu, we get to paint and deco our very own pebble. Aiya needless to say I drew Rilakkuma on it. :P 刘阿姨 said that the view from our room can see the sunrise around 6am? (Can't remember the exact timing). I was quite determine to shoot the sunrise so I couldn't really sleep well that night worrying that I might missed it. >< But too bad. The sky was dark and rainy at 6am so sunrise was almost out of sight. :( [Taiwan, Hualien X Taipei Day 3: 17.11.2009] 刘阿姨 prepared our breakfast the next day! It was simple but yet tummy filling. We visited her little farm and had a good laugh at the animals that she kept. :P We were set to go pick up jades at this pond area in Hualien. It was rainy and the water was icy cold but that didn't stop us from stucking out hands into the water and look for jades. I pick up aloooooot of stones but only a few of them are jades. They were really small so not much of a value but for keepsake. We had last minute shopping for muachee and lunch before heading to the train station for our train back to Taipei! :) Thou it was only for a day but I am sure Hualien left a really deep impression in us! Minshu - Stone Home (石頭的家): http://www.sutohome.com/  Back in Taipei in time for dinner! :) But the rainbow hotel really screw up our booking. 1st night we got the room for 5pax. But after we got back from Hualien, they gave us a room for 3 pax and forcefully placed a pathetic additional bed. Then another 1 pax how!?! After a long "talking" with the hotel recep, they compensate us with an additional room for me and ling mei and promised to give us a 5-bed bedroom the next day. UGH After dinner, we decided to go for KTV! Initially wanted to try cashbox but the place looks really intimidating plus they charges are rockethigh! In the end we chose Holiday KTV which was much family style, reasonable priced and comes with freeflow DRINKS & FOOD! Woohoo! KTV ended around 12plus am, we make our way back to the hotel and call it a day. ZZZZ! [Taiwan, Taipei Day 4: 18.11.2009] Planned to go Wufenpu tat day but during the day time, we made our way to some major shopping mall and shopped hours in HANDS. I was down with fever but recovered quickly with panadol. (damn blardy expensive because I bought it in the shopping mall O:) Made our way to Wufenpu in the late afternoon and shopped till nightfall. Must really give in to the rest of the girls when it comes to shopping. HAHA! I AM THE OLDEST AMONG THEM OKIE!? Can't blame me la.  After Wufenpu, we made our way back to the hotel and place down our 战利品 before making our way to Shilin night market. We were all famished when we reached there. So we ate... 大饼包小饼, Oyster egg, chicken backside (my fav!!), superbig chickenchop, mango ice and much more till I can't recall. HAHA! Since Shilin also has shopping area, the girls went frenzy again. I was literately dragging my feet because I have used up all my energy for the day! [Taiwan, Taipei Day 5: 18.11.2009] One of the must-visit place for the girls. Hello Kitty Cafe! We took a weebit long time to get to the cafe because we mix up the correct station to alight. :P The place is gorgeous! I remember going to another Kitty theme cafe a few years back but it's in Danshui instead. The cafe is definitely not bimbo-stic at all! The food is really good and the portion is super huge! I don't think anyone will go there without a camera. Haha we say this lady taking picture throughout our meal. I wonder did she manage to eat her meal at all? Nothing stops me from getting cute stuff! I bought their signature kitty plush! That day was Kaijing & Wenbei last day in Taipei so they have to grab the chance to do last minute shopping in Ximending! We sent the girls to where they wait for the Freego bus to the airport. We bade goodbye to them and make our way to 阿忠 for their famous 面线！ We decided to dabao back to the hotel together with bubble tea and braised chicken wings. Yums!   After dinner we made our way to Raohe night market and spent the rest of the night there. The girls bought a whole lot of stuff and I only bought a hair accessories IIRC. :P So proud of myself! [Taiwan, Taipei Day 6: 19.11.2009] Decided to try their salon for a haircut. The place seems rather "wulu" but service was superb! I didn't cut mine too drastically but Ailing and Peili both had really nice cut! Ailing even got tempted and booked to have her hair permed the next day. Hee After the hair cut, we made our way to SOGO for a little high end shopping. I bought a blusher from Jill Staurt (OMG THE CASE IS TO DIE FOR!) and had afternoon tea + late lunch @ AFTERNOON TEA TEAROOM. LOL. Left Sogo before sunset thinking that we can catch the sunset @ Danshui but it was raining and super cold that evening and we missed everything! >< Can't even go near the 码头 because it's dark and it was rainy with strong wind.  Danshui was the last place I thought I will buy anything but in the end the girls bought quite a bit of stuff. Haha! I am impressed with their shopping instinct! We had a little supper there before heading back to the hotel in a cab. Drop dead tired! >< [Taiwan, Taipei Day 7: 20.11.2009] My last day in Taipei! Because I will be taking a different flight from the girls, I have to leave about 2 hours ahead. After breakfast, Ailing went for her hair appointment while Peili and me wonder around Ximending aimlessly. Still manage to do some last minute shopping before Peili sent me off to take the Freego bus. (Thanks babe for accompanying me! :)) Didn't managed to see Ailing's new hairstyle. Hopefully soon! :) Flight back to HK alone was smooth but lonely. Because I didn't chose my seats online, I requested for aisle seat and was given the last seat on the last row. How nice. :/ I miss the Husband terribly because he is always there with me on a flight holding my hands and making me smile. Sigh. The Husband was at the HKIA to fetch me and I can't wait to see him after being away for almost a week! But the airline sure hates me because my baggage was the last to arrive! BAH! Saw The Husband and I can feel tears in my eyes already. Miss him so much! Thou I brought my netbook along and the hotel has internet but nothing beats hearing his voice and seeing him in person! (Oh I just got back my mobilephone bill and our phone calls chalk up to SGD200! *gasps!*) It was a really fun trip overall and I am really happy to be able to travel with my besties! It was like a dream come true. A graduation trip that finally fulfilled after a long while! :) Thanks besties for giving me so much beautiful memories! I love all of you and looking forward to many trips together with you all! <3 After settling down back in HK and finally managed to finish washing all my laundry, the Husband and I were set to fly to Beijing from 28 Nov - 5 Dec. He went there to attend some training but stayed in the hotel provided while I decided to tag along but stayed with my relatives instead. My main purpose of going there is to celebrate the Husband's birthday while he insisted of me joining him because he doesn't want me to be in Hk alone. <3 Nothing fanciful in Bejing other then the crazily cold weather and non-stop eating and shopping. I gained an obscene amount of weight in Beijing instead of Taiwan and now I am still trying to shed them off! T-T   That's it for the trips! OMG I can't believe I spent 2 days to write this super long entry. I hope it doesn't flood your screen with my wall-of-text and pictures and many typo which I am too lazy to check! Sorry that blogger doesn't have cuts like wordpress and livejournal! :P xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo Labels: friends, hk, marriage, travel

Sunday, December 06, 2009 8:59 PM Feeling super disoriented after coming back to Hong Kong. The unpacking and mountains of unwashed winter clothings are driving me crazy. The one week in Beijing was a test for me. Then I realise... I CAN'T DO WITHOUT INTERNET! No facebook, no twitter, no blogs, hardly able to check email... omg I don't know why they ban fb/tweet/blogspot in china. I think it's insane. Thank god the Husband is not working in China! >< Will try to blog about my trip to TW and BJ. As soon as I am done with all the housework. :/ Before signing off, here is my latest and prolly the last buy for 2009!  And inspired by one of the lovely tpf-er:  xoxo.

Tuesday, November 24, 2009 11:05 AM  OMOCHA-LAND'S COLLECTION 3 IS UP!!! Please show some love! <3 I am back from Taiwan with the besties since Saturday but my mind have yet to settle down. Just finished all the unpacking, washing and cleaning but the Husband and I will be flying off again to Beijing this weekend. As much as I love travelling, I start to dread about coming back home with a thousand things to be done. Packing, Unpacking, Washing, Cleaning. And the cycle goes on and on. -_- We spent a bomb on winter clothings because ours are all left in Singapore. UGH I shouldn't have brought them back but because our Hong Kong place's waredrobe is so tiny, I have to bring back winter clothings to Singapore during summer and summer clothings during winter. Now that it's winter, we have to survive in our 1 and only winter jacket until it's time to go back to Singapore and pick them up again. Will post about the Taiwan trip when I am back from Beijing! Or maybe in Beijing... Can't wait for 2010 to be here. Labels: marriage, omocha-land, rilakkuma, travel
Thursday, November 12, 2009 12:09 PM I am still floating in Bags Heaven! But before that I must reveal what the Husband bought for me incase people thinks that he really gave me the paperbag only. HAHA! Presenting to you... DAMIER NEVERFULL MM! <3  The look at it still makes my heart skip abit! I love it SOOOOOOOO MUCH I think I gotta buy insurance for it. HAHA! I couldn't bear to use it yet... Still thinking if I should treat the bag with protection 1st before using... and I need to get a base shaper or bag organiser to maintain it's shape! I love the red interior! It's so bright that it's blinding me! I love the smell of brand new bags but of course nothing beats the smell of calf leather. The smell on my Miu Miu still makes me high. :P Thanks once again to the dearest Husband!! I love the bag but I love you more! <3 Since we are on bags already, here I am to share the other bags that I wish I can get when I start working again!  I love damier print! And I have the biggest crush on Trevi a long way back but it doesn't seems very fesible for me to get a Trevi when I am not working. And the Speedy 30? I think 30 is a superb size! I got a 25 Mono from my parents many years back as a birthday gift and I couldn't bear to use it! T-T If you know me well enough, I am super protective towards gifts from my parents. I don't know why. That day while getting the Neverfull, the SA asked if we would like to purchase the Trunks & Bags Mini Pochette to go with the bag. The Husband said yes immediately but I held back because I really didn't want him to spend so much. Thou it's the very last piece and condition was perfect, I hesitated. NOW I REGRET IT SO MUCH I WANNA CRY! It's a limited edition and won't be restocking! The Husband offered to help me get it but his workload is insane and have been knocking off late. (LV closes at 8pm!! so blardy early!) Sigh. I should have bought it right on the spot that day. But I only decided to pamper myself a little after receving bonus from COMPASS. I hope they still has it this Saturday! Oh I would like to get the ring keychain or a accordeon chain to hook my hp pouch or keypouch to the Neverfull! Not sure if it's easy to get them in store as I heard they don't keep stock for these...  Now which girl doesn't love to own a Bbag?!?!?! They have this in pink in the past season. I hope they will have a similar pink shade when I have the money to get it! :/  I happened to pass by the Marc Jacob store in Thailand Airport. All of the bags are so pretty! The one with doves is lovely. <3 And even the accessories is so pretty! Love Miss Marc! And Tricia, the bow necklace reminds me of you!  The new Coach Poppy series is really pop and sweet. When I was in Japan, they have just launched the Poppy series with Poppy-Chan! I saw this bag sooooooooo nice but so expensive la! And there goes the SA saying... "Only in Japan!". I know, because of the price! I really had fun Window(s) shopping online. But I will work towards the goal of owning at least one of them by end of next year! :P 3 more days to Taipei with my besties!!! ARE YOU GIRLS READY?! <3 See Y'all at the Airport this Sunday!!!
Saturday, November 07, 2009 8:37 PM I received 2 brown bags from the Husband today!! 1st one is...  OMFG CUTE! And 2nd one is......... ... .... .......  OMG *GASP!* *died and went to bag heaven*
Friday, November 06, 2009 3:57 PM Can't believe it was only last year (1st Nov 2008) when we both walk down the aisle together. Still remember the day of our customary wedding... It was a rainy morning and the groom was late because he totally forgotten about the hand bouquet. :O When I thought the worst is over, I realise I have no appetite for anything and I kept felt like puking THE ENTIRE DAY. I was simply too nervous. But when we both step into the ballroom, all the nervous-ness in me just miraclely disappeared within the thin air. And I thought when the banquet is over, we could spend quality time together in the pre-soak-with-rosepetals-bathtub and have the nice late supper which the hotel have delivered up to our bridal suite, the groom fell asleep in his half drunk state. I was left standing next to him, still with all my makeup on and hair all stiff and frizzy. I thought to myself... what's next? After spending a long time in the bathroom, I came out and stood infront of the mess in the suite's living room wondering if I should pack up or eat 1st. I pack up, clean up, stuff the gowns and albums into the bags, lock the angbaos in the safe, watch and cringe at the morning highlight video and fell asleep. Totally forgotten about the supper. (There goes our cod fish and fried bun with chillicrab sauce.) We didn't even make it to our Honeymoon @ Bali due to security reason. Although we both know that the wedding wasn't perfect, I am still very happy to go through it with you. And now that we have come this far, baby, I wanna thank you for everything that you've given to me. Life wasn't all smooth sailing when we are so far away from home. But we both know we have each other to rely on no matter what. I look forward to see you every end of the day because even if we stay under the same roof, you spend long hours working hard in office to provide all my needs. You support whatever decision I make. You get me involved in all parts of your life. I know that if it wasn't you, I won't be what I am today. There is only one regret in my life... which is getting to know you a little too late. But it's okie because good things can wait. It's okie because your love healed all my wounds. I love you baby! I love you so much that my heart bursted and recovered for a million times. Happy 1st Year Anniversary to the both of us! <3  On the 31st Oct, the Husband dated me to Disneyland for a special Halloween night. I can never understand the fun of dressing up and visiting crowded places to "celebrate" Halloween. I usually spend it like how I will spend the rest of my 364 days. As we all know the ticket to Disneyland is blardy expensive, the evening tickets isn't any better. The evening admission is from 6pm to 11pm so we had early dinner and slowly make our way there. At the entrance, we saw someone selling those Halloween headbands so we decided to get 1 each just for the sake of getting into the mood. :P Other then the parade, the dressing of the staff and the deco, everything else was the same. But we still enjoyed and had fun playing the same rides all over again! (No scary rides for me thou. I can't take it! ><)   (Alot of pictures of us because the Husband ask me why recently I havent been taking photos together. You know, when you start using SLR... you hardly can do self portrait unless with the help of mirror or strangers. ><) No matter how many times we have seen the fireworks before, it still look so beautiful to us! And of course the Carousel ride... Thou I still find it silly to "celebrate" Halloween, the Husband's decision to bring me to Disneyland make me a very happy girl. <3 Recently the Husband bought me this Rilakkuma charm which I have been eyeing for the longest time. I wanted to use it but iPhone doesn't have any holes for me to hang it and I was worried of dirtying it at the same time. So I took out my Q-pot case again... :O The very last time I used it, I stain the back of the case with some ink which I have no idea where it came from. I tried ways to remove it but it only cause more damaged to the case so I stop using it already. But that day when I took it out, the stain disappeared!! I don't know where it went to lor but since the stain is gone, I can finally use it again!  Perfect match right!! Love how the pink and purple match! But I am still worried of getting the both of them dirty. -_- And guess what we found?!  Rilakkuma everywhere in HK can?! Even tissue box also have! The quality of the tissue is quite good leh. Not inferior kind! 2 ply! And thanks to Joce's reminder, I managed to buy the cute Rilakkuma fridge from Circle K! Also thanks to the Husband for being persistent in finding it when the Circle K at the MTR station doesn't carry them. We walk a little further to the other store and found it! <3 Dedicate to all Milo Peng Lover.              THE END! Oh, Omocha-Land have launched their 2nd Collection this morning!!  PLEASE SHOW SOME LOVEEEEE!! <3 <3 <3 http://omocha-land.livejournal.com/ Have a greaaaaaaaaat weekend everyone!!! MUAH! Labels: anniversary, hk, marriage, omocha-land, rilakkuma

Friday, October 30, 2009 12:51 PM Wah so paisay to neglect my blog for so long... After coming back from Bangkok, everyday I have been busy sitting infront of the laptop... photoshopping and playing around with the livejournal template. I really hate CSS. HTML is so much simpler! But I am glad I sorta figured it out and the layout is finalised. OH incase you guys don't know yet... the Rilakkuma stocks are here! WOOHOO! Not alot... because almost more than half of my order went out of stock. But for now, we can just make do with what are available! A little sad that I can't be in Singapore to open up the boxes and take a good look at the goods. But I can trust my sister to QC them and sort them out! :) Thanks Jie! Tentatively we are looking to launch the blogshop on the 1st Nov (which is the Husband and my 1st wedding anniversary!) so do keep a lookout at this space for more updates! <3 Now back to our BKK trip. The night before our trip, the Husband have to stay back in the office to finish up his work so that he can ease off some workload when he goes back after the vacation. But little did I expect him to come back only at 5am! We have to reach the airport by 8am, which means leaving home at about 7plus. Poor baby only have 2 hours of sleep... As usual we went back to Baiyoke Sky for our accomodation. But seems like they really have little maintenance work done to the hotel. I remember my last trip there was lovely but this time, everytime is old and more expensive. -_- Nevertheless I am glad they still make the effort to decorate our room after us informing them that we are here to celebrate our wedding anniversary. Well, to them, is Honeymoon. We step into the room with aircon fully blasting the room (love it when the weather is insanely hot in BKK!), cake and fruits on the table and rose petals on the bed, in the basin and bathtub.   Well, one of the many reason for choosing Baiyoke Sky is also because they provide shuttle service to Siam Discovery. Super convenient! So everyday we have to make sure we didn't miss the bus (which operates every hour only) and for the rest of the days in BKK, we have been going to the same places because we are too spoilt. Hahaha... 1st stop was of course Fuji for lunch! OH how I miss their food. We had a hard time choosing what to eat so in the end we order so much that our table couldn't contain all of them. After late lunch, we simply walk around Siam Discovery, Siam Paragon and some nearby shopping malls and before we realise, it's time for dinner. We decided to make our way back to the hotel to order room service (which they claim they have the best Tom Yam soup!) and enjoy te complimentary foot massage provided by the hotel. For the next few days, yes, WE WENT BACK TO THE SAME MALL again and again. But we surprisely we have things to buy everytime we went back. :/ So to save the trouble of repeating the boring itinerary, here are the places and food we ate. :P Shopping: - Siam Discovery - Siam Paragon - Central World - MBK - Platinum Mall - Some other malls which I can't even remmeber the name Food: - Fuji - Room service - MK steamboat - Food court in Siam Paragon (which is surprisingly GOOD and CHEAP!) Things we bought: - Clothes & Shoes - Toys (!!) - Snacks Activity: - Massage - Massage - Massage VERY BORING I KNOW! But our plan for this trip is to R&R so we didn't really follow any itinerary. We simply just walk what we see, eat what we see, buy what we see. :P Anyway, here are the rest of the photos!   I really hate not updating but for now, please forgive me while I get busy with the start of the Rilakkuma blogshop! Looking forward to Taiwan with the besties on the 15 November and celebrating our wedding anniversary on the 1st of November! <3 Tata! Labels: hk, marriage, rilakkuma, travel

Wednesday, October 14, 2009 10:34 AM These days I spent most of my time staring at the tv watching 2 super nice korea dramas.
(not sure why they never fix a name for their show!) Anyway both also starring Yoon Sang Hyeon(*swoon*), which look sooooo much like Takuya Kimura! I love Yoon Eun Hye too! She look so pretty in My Fair Lady and all her outfits in the show are gorgeous beyond words. Totally recommend both dramas. Even the Husband are crazy about Queens of Housewives. HEE! Other than watching kdrama, I was fussing over my gigantic boil that grew right in the middle of my forehead. I may not have the best complexion around but I rarely have such serious case of acne. But thank god it's getting better now. All thanks to SKII's miracle water. :P The night before the boil appear, I suddenly had high fever which I think is related to it. It's like an infection of some sort. So I popped 2 paracetamol before going to the bed early. Luckily the fever subsides the next day so I am well enough to go Shen Zhen with the Husband and his colleagues. This is our 2nd time going to Shen Zhen but to a different part if it. Basically it's a eat shop walk trip! The serving of the food there was extremely huge!! And they are all like 10 course meal lor! I didn't manage to take the pictures of all the food because everytime after 4 dishes, I will be too busy eating instead of snapping pictures. :P Was feeling restless throughout the trip because I just recovered from the fever and the medication I took makes me sleepy. Sigh. The itinerary of the day was: Lunch -> Shopping -> Mega bookstore -> Oil painting cultural village -> Dinner -> Home Initially we promised to join the rest for KTV but we are super tired by the end of the day already. Must be a sign of ageing! HAHA!  Sometimes I want to update my blog like everyday with some random stuff and photos but not sure why I dislike the idea of having to post short entry. >< Maybe I should if not it seems like my blog is getting stagnant. Can't wait to go for our short getaway! Totally in need of some massage, good food and cheap shopping! Countdown: 7 days to Bangkok! <3 Labels: health, hk, marriage, travel

Wednesday, September 30, 2009 9:36 AM My weekends was a blast! I always look forward to weekends even if it's just staying at home. Nothing beats having the Husband around me the whole day. On Saturday, I was invited to tag along for the Husband's usual basketball game organised by his colleagues. Thou I wasn't really keen in getting sweaty because I was still nursing a cough, I had a great time mingling around and taking pictures of the game. Nevertheless I did tried my hands on some ball shooting. And when was the last time I tried shooting a ball?! During my secondary school days?! Will never forget all the good old times I had during netball tournaments and practise! I was GA and GS okie?! Hahah... After the game, some of us proceed to Redbox @ New Kowloon Plaza (woooo very near our place!) for some k-session. AND when was the last time I sang K again? (Wah seems like after moving here, there are alot of things we stop doing already!) OH YES. During my Hens night (bachelorette night) with my favorite girls! Somehow a KTV room reminds me of the dating days I had with the Husband. In the past I think we spent like 1/3 of our time dating in a KTV room because both of us were crazy about singing PLUS our 1st date/meeting was at a KTV okie?! So every now and then I will ask him, if he still remember our 1st date... I will remind him that he was late and made me wait while he will say that he hate my "khaki green" skirt that I wore that day. YAH... I love "Safari"... so I love "Khaki Green". Cannot meh?! At least I don't wear "RAD Bigini" and DROP down orchard road leh. :P Anyway I am super impressed by the voice of the Husband colleagues. They can sing SO WELL! I swear it's the air in Hong Kong! EVERYONE CAN SING! We had Leon Lai and Stefanie Sun in the house and I truly enjoyed myself. :)  Sunday was reserved for Sogo sale and in search of some items for my friends! My priority was to buy the Durian Mooncake at Sogo and coincidently I received leaflet that they are having sale at the same time too. Look at our 战利品！  The 1st shop I saw when I reached Sogo was Longchamp! They were having a 50% discount for some of their Le pliage range items. I bought the small size long handle one in Peony color.  Now I have a mini collection of Longchamp bags! All in difference sizes and color. But I bought 3 of them during Longchamp sale (mostly 50% discount! am I lucky or what!) and the one in Green was a gift from the Husband. Red one is for beach outing. Black, I am using it everyday for meals and groceries shopping. Green for travelling. And Peony, not sure yet since I just got it but I think it's good to bring it out for shopping! Good size and long handle for easy carrying. I have been nagging the Husband to get a new pair of working shoes because he have been wearing the old one for the past 5 years! I know he finds them comfortable and nice but the shoes is falling apart and they are starting to "Talk" to me already. >< Out of 10 times, I think only 2 times the Husband will buy something for himself willingly. If not the other 8 times I have to force him to try and buy what's neccessary. *puke blood* Maybe shopping is just not in the man's blood. I am surprised that the Husband actually manage to find something that caught his eyes and willingly tried them on. But I must say he have good eyes. Geox is a good brand, the design is classic and it has breathable sole. Geox was having a 10%+10% discount so I must say its a good buy!  The leaflet also stated that Tokidoki tees were having sale. Super excited because I LOVE Tokidoki!  I like the cut of the grey tee on the Husband. Perfect fit! And I love the design on the black tee that I have chosen. It was only when we have paid and left Tokidoi before we realise that maybe I should get another one of the same design so we can have a couple tee! <3 Last stop will be the Durian Moonies because they have to be kept cool so we thought by getting it last, we can go home straight after that.  We bought the D24 one because MaoShanWang is EXTRAORDINARY EXPENSIVE LA! I think D24 is good enough. Have yet to try them... maybe tonight! It says it's a product of Singapore. But I never seen this brand in Singapore before wo. My all time favourite will be Goodwood Park Hotel one. Beat all other brands both hands down! We were on our way home before the Husband asked if I would like to check our Beatles Rockband at Sino Center. He knows me the best! :) Saw the Wii version instead of Xbox one and it's selling at 2300hkd?!?!?!?! I can buy another console with that price! Another shop quote me 2700hkd lor!!! I must be insane if I agree to get it on the spot. -_- Anyway looking at the price, it sorta make me give up about getting one. Either that or I shall wait for the Asian official release (not sure if they are gonna do that but it's definitely cheaper this way) before I break my bank to get them. Sino Center was just a few building away from CTMA so we decided to go there take a look at the Camera Strap that I wanted to buy. The old one was fill with sweat it's sticky..... :/  Love the pink and like the fact that it's silm and comfy on my neck. It doesn't matter that it doesn't have Canon on it. :P And that concludes my super weekends! I am looking forward to the short trip with the Husband to Bangkok next month! Knowing that he can't join me for my Taiwan trip with my girls, the Bangkok trip will be perfect to celebrate our 1st wedding anniversary and to give the Husband a good break from his never ending work... I don't care how a stranger would judge me... but if you're my friend and judge me just like a stranger, I don't think I can forgive you. Labels: friends, hk, marriage, travel
Friday, September 25, 2009 11:00 AM For the past few days, I was trying to self cure the irritating throat of mine. It started with the silly me choking on orange juice which I think somehow hurt my throat. It got worse on Sunday as my throat felt like sandpaper and swallowing saliva felt like swallowing sand instead. Thanks to the lovely Husband for getting Honey and Gui Ling Gao Herbal Jelly (is there a actual name for it? Turtle Jelly? haha!), I felt so much better today. Woohoo no need to see doctor! [160909 - The arrival] On the 16th, my Sister and Jeff fly over to HK from SG to have a short holiday and we decided to play host and house them at our place. Hope they won't mind our small but cozy little adobe! Met them at the Kowloon Airport express station. I was super early so decided to settle my lunch there. Bought 16 mini siew mais (I am obsessed!) and bought the smarties mac flurry too to satisfy my hunger pangs. :D~ By the time we reach my place, it's pretty late already so we catch a train to IFC mall, shop a little at Zara before meeting the Hubby for dinner @ Yung Kee. (trying out new PS action but pictures turn out a little too blue-ish. -_-)  LOVE THEIR FRIED RICE TO THE MAX! Sigh make me wonder why there are such great delicacy around! My sister suggest that we should get a drink since we are already in Lan Kwai Fong. The Hubby and I have never patronize any of the bars there before can you believe it, after staying here for so long? Anyway we just grab one and walk in because they all look the same to me. Haha! But we were pretty lucky because Insomnia @ LKF have live band that day and we are in the midst of happy hours so beers were cheap! The next 2 days, Sister and Jeff went to Disney and Ocean Park on 2 seperate occasion. I am amazed because I don't think I can live without sparing some time for shopping. Haha! Nevertheless I am glad they had fun at the theme parks! [190909 - Big Buddha & Jumbo Kingdom] We woke up pretty early to accommodate the travelling time we have to spend on the bus up to the Big Buddha. NP360 was closed for maintance so no choice but to take the Lantao Bus. Talking about suayness... The last time Ailing mei was here, they were closed to. -_- I am THAT close to puking due to motion sickness. After offering respect, we had the vegetarian food as breakfast+lunch (What you call that? Brunch?) which was fantastic. Love the cold beancurd! Another dreadful bus ride back to TungChung from big buddha but this time I pop a motion sickness pill just in case. Phew. Sister and Jeff spent sometime in Citygate while the Husband and I went to collect my online purchase. We met up at Mongkok so they can buy the famous Hang Heung old wives biscuit. As usual... they bought a WHOLE LOT. Haha... the Husband is quite scared of it already. Won't go into details! Since it's still early, we decided to take a cab back to our place to drop off our barangs, freshen up before going for dinner @ Jumbo Kingdom. To make our way to Jumbo (@ Shum Wan pier), we have to take a train from Olympic Station to Hong Kong Station, switch to bus 75 at the interchange which take a long time to reach. To be honest, I am never into fine dining for seafood. SEAFOOD WHAT! Must eat with hands, which can be super unglam. Anyway I was very pissed throughout the whole dinner because I really dislike the attitude which the waiter gave us. I am known to be a sucker for good service and I know in order to have good service, I have to be nice to who ever serve me too. 将心比心的道理我还懂！ But this particular waiter was so rude that I don't think I can just let it go. We may not be dressed in formal outfit, but at least we are not sloppish! And YES, we are not WHITE skin-ed. Don't have to be so nationality-cist. We also got money to pay one okie?! SO what we take a long time to choose what to eat? We are not sweating at the price of YOUR menu but instead, we are rolling eyes at how common and unattractive your dishes are. UGH! I really regret agreeing to eat at Jumbo. Should have travel slightly further to Sai Kung to eat instead. Look at the Cheese Lobster from Jumbo and compare them to the one I had in Sai Kung. You pay for a premium but get lousy dishes and attitude. So please. if anyone of you are thinking of eating at Jumbo Kingdom, please think THRICE. Other than the outlook, nothing else is fantastic! Go Sai Kung eat better!  Sorry for being so pissed. Thou I didn't enjoy the dinner itself, I enjoyed the company very much. After dinner, we went back home and had a few rounds of mahjong before we call it a day. Being angry really drain my energy faster. -_- [200909 - Dim Sum & the couple leaving HK] Thou we slept late the night before, we make it a point to wake up early so we can enjoy some nice dim sum together before parting ways with my Sister and Jeff. It's my 1st time trying the Federal Palace @ Olympian City. It's pretty good but I still prefer Tao Heung thou. Federal Palace have more variety of dim sum and some with interesting names... like 我不是春卷。 Haha... we can't hold back your curiosity and ordered one to find out what exactly it is. To those who have tried Bosses Restaurant (黑社會 @ Vivo City, Singapore） they actually have this dish as complimentary starter dish. Not sure if they still does that now but the last time I went, which was really quite sometime back, they do.  Had a great time at Dim Sum thou all of us were feeling extremely lack of sleep. Haha... The Husband have to go for his usual basketball game so the remaining 3 of us shop around at the mall before making our way back home. Sister and Jeff's flight was scheduled at 230pm IIRC so they have to leave my place at about 12pm. Send them down to the concierge to call a cab. Hope my Sister and Jeff enjoyed their stay! I am going to the SOGO Sale tomorrow! Don't know if I can find any good deal but the thought of stepping out of the house excites me! Labels: anger, family, hk, marriage

Friday, September 11, 2009 12:01 PM Felt like I woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning. My laptop had THE bluescreen TWICE. BB Bold have problems updating and my iPhone is lagging like no tomorrow. UGH! I don't like that nagging feeling in me especially when I need to get something done but yet I am lazing my ass off day after that. I know I have to update this space of mine but sometimes I just hate to open up the photoshop and put all the pictures together. Thou I know there are lotsa photo collage software around, I still like to use my own way of putting them together. So today, procrastination NO MORE! Last Saturday, I was invited by the Husband's lovely colleague to join them for their department boat trip outing @ Sai Kung. I was excited about it because the last time my bikini ever seen the sunlight was... OMG! my phuket trip in Feb 2008! "They" were supposed to see the sunlight on our honeymoon trip to Bali but it was cancelled the other time. -_- It was uber embrassessing to tell everyone that we have not been to Sai Kung after moving to HK for over a year. Don't say Sai Kung la, even Macau also never been there before! It's just like me living in Singapore for over 20 years, I have not cover the entire country yet. Crap. I swear I will go every corner of Singapore when we go back for good one day. So that morning, we woke up exceptionally early and took a train to Choi Hung Station to meet the rest of the peeps who volunteered to get drinks and tibits for the trip. Took a mini bus that directly drove us into Sai Kung. Woohoo! It's not as difficult as we thought to make our way there. The supermarket @ Sai Kung was INSANELY PACKED with people who are like us, going on a boat trip. I haven't seen that much people wearing shorts with tees/tanks after moving here. You can see 80% of Singaporean girls wearing shorts with tanks everywhere in Singapore. But its definitely not usual in Hong Kong. For a moment I felt like I was in Sentosa. Haha... There were about 20 over of us and the size of the yacht is just right. But small means easier to feel the unstable sea so I had to pop a pill before I board as I am super prone to motion sickness. :O~ Everyone had lotsa fun in the water and they also provide speedboat for wakeboarding. One of them bought the super big star and turtle float but I didn't manage to enjoy those because I can't blardy swim. UGH. Sometimes I hate myself for not having that determination to learn swimming. I pick up everything fast except for swimming and rollerblading, which both happens to be the Husband's expertise. -_- OH YES I FOUND A JELLYFISH IN THE WATER! Luckily it was spotted before someone get sting by it. The yacht stops at one of the beach after lunch so thank god I get to set my feet on the ground before I start puking on board. Haha... The seawater was exceptionally salty. It's salty enough to even feel the prickly sensation when you touch it. The worse part is that the toilet at the beach uses seawater instead of fresh water. I almost wanted to wash my eyes with the tap water! >< Getting back onto yacht, we played mahjong, cards and before we realise it, the time is close to evening and we are on our way back to the pier.    We had dinner at this seafood restaurant which serves super fresh seafood. And I can't stop raving about the Cheesey lobster (SHUCKS I realise I caption it as Crab in my picture. -_- It's lobster right?!) with ee-fu noodle. MAN, I CAN DIE HAPPY EATING THAT! I love cheese! It was overall a GREAT TRIP! And I love the company! For the 1st time I felt like home without my singaporean family and friends around. Thanks Josphine for the invitation! :) Actually I almost couldn't make it to the trip because after dinner on Wednesday, I had runs on Thurday morning. After meeting Ting Jie (she was here for her holiday! :)) during the day time, I suddenly had high fever after I got home. Seen a doctor that night, and continue to have diarrhea on Friday. Saturday I woke up with queasy tummy but I figure out that if I don't go out, it won't make much difference. Hahah... Thank god I made the right decision! -------- My Sister and Jeffrey is coming over to Hong Kong on the 16th and I can't wait! I love visitors especially my loved ones! By then I am sure there will be lotsa photos updates and no more mundane text only entry. :P OH and by the way... I have finally sent in the PO for my Rilakkuma business. Finally one step closer towards my dream! Wish me luck! <3 Labels: friends, marriage, rilakkuma

Friday, September 04, 2009 12:57 PM I used to tell myself that I must find a man who can speak cantonese to be my husband. I don't know why. Maybe because my family speaks cantonese, cantonese sound less vulgar(:P), cantonese seems like the coolest dialect ever. But in the end, I got married to a hokkien. When I met the husband, I never mind him for not being able to speak cantonese. (Actually the must-speak-cantonese criteria just slip off my mind.) Instead, I tried picking up hokkien instead so I can converse better with his grandma. (Not only asking, AH MAH! JIAK BA BUEY!) Years later, he decided to move over to Hong Kong and work. From someone who can't understand what my family is talking about during family gathering, the husband is able to understand and speak the fast paced cantonese in HK. He master it so well that he almost lost his ability to speak hokkien with his grandma already. Haha. Maybe it's meant to be. I really got married to a man who can speak cantonese. And I love him very much. :)
Thursday, August 27, 2009 10:28 AM Too much rest makes me feel lazy about editing the pictures and putting words together to blog. Haha... So continuation to my previous post, we were given less than 1 month to look for a new place and move out entirely. After the 3 viewing with agent 1, I was desperate enough to look for another agent from a not so famous property website, Landspert. I got the Husband to call him up but we were a little skeptical because according to the Husband, he sounded really unfriendly. Uh huh... That very night, we viewed 3 units. The 1st one was... small beyond words. Even smaller than the unit we choosen. Plus the view was directly at old building. Dark and doesn't feel right. 2nd unit was quite normal... no wow factor and not exactly the cleanest. 3rd unit is the unit we set our eyes on. Sitting at level 51, the night view was fansinating. Thou it's not harbour or sea view, the city view towards Mongkok is vibrant with lighting and busy roads. It's not stuffy and certainly bright with no buildings blocking. The condition of the house is almost brand new. Given that the building is only 2 years old and the landlord have refurbish and repaint the entire house after the previous tenant have left. The only concern we have is, 51 floor and the asking price for the rent. We didn't say yes on the spot at the price as we have asked the agent to nego for a lower rent with the landlord. Initially our budget was the same amount as the previous apartment but we know it's like asking for the moon at this apartment. We managed to nego to the price where both of us are satisfied. Thou another interested party was willing to pay slightly more than us but our advantage was able to move in immediately! Photos of the apartment...  And so we did it. Found the right unit, clean up over the weekend, book a van, move some things over, got the professional mover to move more stuff over, settle down comfortably all within 2 weeks. It was quite crazy la. Thou we only been in Hong Kong for 1 year plus but the among of things to move is... insanely ALOT. We are definitely loving this unit. Confirm better than the previous silverfish + springtail + rotten toilet cabinet + rainwater sipping thru the wall + clogging pipes apartment. The other day we tried taking a bus to Mongkok at the bus stop near our place and it take less than 10 minutes to reach. Fast and cheap! No moved in pictures yet. Must wait for the Husband to take nice ones to justify the place. Haha... [15.08.09 - Kitty Lab Show] The long await Kitty Lab show is here! It happened on the same as the day we went to sign the tenant agreement for the new apartment. It was quite a mad rush for us but we still find it kinda enjoyable. Thou they didn't allow us to take pictures, we still manage to steal some shots before being told to keep our cameras away. Ugh. The games there was rather kiddy but I guess that's the whole point. Really thankful to the Husband for accompanying me there. I think boredom is driving him crazy but what's more important than seeing that smile on my face? :P  [21.08.09 - Gary Chaw Concert] August is my month so naturally it's super happening. The Husband bought us tickets to Gary Chaw's Hong Kong concert. My 1st concert in HK and it's the Husband's favourite singer. Love his voice and he is really attractive on the stage. Definitely worth every bucks of the ticket!  [22.08.09 - IT'S MY BIRTHDAYYYYYY!] My aim for this year birthday is to keep it low and enjoying it with my love ones in peace. That's why I removed my dob from my website, facebook and friendster (yes i am still using it! HAHAH!). It's sorta test to see how many friends actually really remember my birthday la. :P Well it seems like facebook does play a big part for remembering friends' birthday. Nevertheless, the Husband still managed to surprise me with a pair of tickets back to Singapore to celebrate with my family and my besties. BEST GIFT EVER! After knowing that I will be going back to SG, I told my sister and told her that I wanna surprise my parents by appearing at the door without them knowing. My mum has the habit of calling me every morning and because its my birthday she will even call me earlier to wish me happy birthday. But she couldn't get thru me because I was on the flight flying back to SG with my phone off. When I touched down, I called her back telling her that I was at Ocean Park and suffering from bad phone reception. HAHAH. We rushed back to the Husband place and put down all barang barang, took a cab back to my parents place and pressed the door bell. And there was my mum, opening the door and starring at me for a good 5 seconds before realising that she isn't dreaming. That look on her face is priceless! Should have taken a photo of her. HEE. Stayed around for a while before heading to Central to meet Ling and her boyfriend + Damien. Thanks for remembering my birthday and the super pretty teeshirt! And also thanks to Wendy, April, Linus and Wansheng for the gift! Went back home from Central and catch up with my family before going to my favourite Min Jiang for dinner!  How can anyone not love Min Jiang?! They serves the BEST chinese cuisine! Yums! After dinner, we went back home to cut my cake and off I go to meet my girls at ICB! Thanks to Jie and Jeff for sending me there!  I miss my favourite girls! They are the best friends everyone wished for. Nothing about them I don't love and that explain why we have been so close for so long! <3 Pardon for the lousy picture. The place was exceptionally dark and noisy. Haha... we had a hard time trying to speak to each other but the chicken wings are oh so good! Will definitely go back there... when there is no soccer showing on tv. :P After beer and wings, we went back to the Husband's place to play mahjong! The Husband is already in the midst of his game with his buddies so we girls played in the room instead. Had so much fun playing, bitching and laughing over crazy things. Before the clock strike 12, I cut my 3rd cake with everyone, thanks to JR! :)  We ended our game around 4am and off we go to catch some precious sleep! [23.08.09 - Steamboat!] In the morning, we took a bus to Bedok to have lunch. I had my favourite heartland chicken chop while the Husband had fish soup. We went over to visit the Husband's grandma and spent a few hours there. :) After leaving ah mah's place, we took a bus to Eunos and took a train to cityhall. The Husband shopped and happy to see him smiling from ear to ear! At about 5 plus, we head towards Bugis to meet up with the besties for our steamboat dinner.   Love the steamboat! A whole lot of variety of food. Since it's buffet so we eat until siao. Surprise that there isn't much food wastage. I think the waitress there also got a shock at the amount of food we ordered. :P See the lovely photobook they did for me? Thou I really hate the cover picture (look at THOSE elephant thighs -_-), I love the content of it! I still smile whenever I look at it now. Amazing effect that will never go off! Thanks for the flower, the superb durian cake and the photobook my besties! Muah! We hop over to 记得吃 for some durian dessert after the mind blowing, sweat inducing dinner. SUPER WHOLESOME LA! I was a little sad that I couldn't eat the need-to-pry-open kind of durian but the dessert at 记得吃 is good enough to make up for my loss. LOVE IT! After dessert, before we all say good bye, I suggested taking photostickers. Thank god the photosticker shop was still open! We are the last customers I guess.  Love you guys! [24.08.09 - Flying back to HK] As usual good things doesn't last... but beautiful memories will stay in my heart! In the morning, my sister came and send us to the 四马路 temple and afterwhich we went to Kiliney Kopitiam to say hi to my uncle and auntie. Had my favourite french toast and curry chicken. Super sinful haha... Sister brought us to ION to take a short walk while waiting for the 包s we bought to be ready. Wah just 1 year away from SG and now so many shopping malls sprouting out. Went back to my parents office, slack around until it's time to go to the airport. Flight at 4 and reaches HK around 8. Was supposed to be expecting Ikea delivery but forgotten that we will not reach home in time to accept it, we got the concierge at our apartment to receive it for us. By the time we reach our lobby, we were told that they received our Ikea items already and will send to us shortly. I was thinking, woah... very good service! About 10 minutes after we got home, the door bell rang and the Husband opened the door. There standing a bell boy, with a bellboy cart filled with our Ikea items. Wah lau I think they are damn exaggerating but nevertheless I am super impressed with the management here. Haha... CEO living leh mai siao siao! My favourite part is here. Presents!!!! <3  Not all are birthday presents but gifts from friends and sister when they went overseas or just think I deserve them. :P I love them alllllll!!! There are my BB Bold, my favourite Rilakkuma (a whole lot!!), Tokidoki and DIY items! I can never get enough of them!  This year I told the Husband that I don't need any fanciful gifts already. But he still went ahead to order the Kitty Lab X Moov.hk plush toy. To think that he worried I might scold him. -_- I love it so much lor!! Thou I am not blessed with good brain and looks, I am certainly very much blessed with family, friends and a wonderful husband who loves me inside out! Everyone was telling me how good my Husband is. YES I KNOW! :P I am indeed a very very lucky girl. Once again, THANK YOU ALL SOSOSOSOSOSOSO MUCH!! Can't wait to see you guys again back in Singapore! MUAH!

Monday, August 10, 2009 12:49 PM And so I just couldn't stop looking at Hello Kitty these days. I SWEAR I didn't 移情别恋。I still love Rilakkuma very much but I just couldn't stop. >< Was browsing thru the many thousand auctions in yahoo hk when I came across this super good deal on a set of limited edition set from MTR.  SGD$20! I think it's super worthy and cute! The Kitty figurines each represent a staff at the Hong Kong MTR station. They are: Train Operators, Assistant Fire and Security Supervisors, Infrastructure Maintenance Officers, Rolling Stock Maintenance Officers, Station Assistants, and Group Station Managers. Cool or not! HAHA! As if this is not enough, the Husband decided to indulge me with all the 3 Hello Kitty X Octopus Ornament.  Spoilt me rotten indeed but I love them SOOOOO MUCH! I will definitely wear the Kuromi one! SO CUTE! ------- Things havent been exactly that smooth sailing for us these days. But we thought after the Husband passed THE exam, things will get better. Who knows yesterday morning, when the both of us were still sleeping, I received a phonecall from our landlord, saying something like, "有的野唔好意思想話你知。。。" (which means "got something not so nice to tell you...") I thought she wanted to ask for our rent this month... or ask for a rent increase. But it was something worse than that. She say the landlord (the caller is a friend of our landlord but because she stay in the same condo, so she liaise with us instead of him) sold his own house and wanna move into our unit... so we gotta look for a new unit and move out. She said we will be compensate with 1 month of rent... and she will try to contact the property agent to keep a look out for us. WAH lau. I don't want such 晴天霹雳 news when I am still in my dreams lor. After I hang up, the Husband and I start to look for ads on the internet for condos available and which area is better. We decided to try Olympic area as the Husband will have to work at the branch there sometimes so it's more convenient. Plus Olympic is only 2 stops away from Hong Kong station easy access to Central. Many plus point. 4 hours after the phone call, we were at this super glam condo with the agent to view 3 empty units. (Talking about efficiency, harharhar) Harbour Green, located 5 minutes walk from the Olympic Station (covered walkway is yay-ness), developer is Sun Hung Kai, the best in Hong Kong. And the development is only 2 years old. The apartment really got the hotel feel. No wonder their selling point is "CEO Living". Their guards looks like bodyguard! And they have bellboy and concierge service... so many and I don't think I will be able to state them all. OH AND THEIR TOILET GOT TV ONE! HAHAH! But only 2 palm size so big. Can brush teeth and watch tv at the same time. The rent is slightly higher than what we are paying now but we are quite sure we can bring it down to the same rate as now. Just that the unit is even smaller... imagine small... then smaller?! Guess what we are paying is for the location... and the quality of the development. All the units we viewed yesterday are super high floor lor. 43 storey! Aiyo imagine typhoon come, I will be super paranoid about the glass panel! We will be viewing more units tomorrow and hopefully we can make a choice by then. Got so many things to pack, to move, then to clean up the new place. Seriously, how much drama must we have! I know these days I have been secretly wishing to move out because this place is quite infested with bugs... first sliverfish and now springtail?! Not your usual bugs lor! The Husband was poking fun at me saying that my wish came true... super abrupt thou. From now onwards, I will be more careful with what I wish for. >< Wish us luck!

Friday, July 31, 2009 8:10 AM Hello Kitty is invading Hong Kong! The 1st wave was from Macdonalds when they release the plush toy set a couple of weeks ago.  They have this macdonalds branch in Causeway Bay where they did up a huge "Kitty Lab" for their restaurant theme.  Then they appear in almost all fashion magazines! Eg: Milk Magazine  Will you buy 6 issue of the same magazine just for the cover? Haha! Touch Magazine  So sad I only managed to get the black cloud... :( Then they have lotsa crossover... Eg: KMB Bus  Haven't got the chance to board this bus... so cute! Moov.hk  Love the 14" doll and the thumbdrive! But a little overprice? :/ Bape  They always have this crossover but this is so exceptionally cute! MTR Hello Kitty and Kuromi Octopus Ornaments  GAWD. Can you believe the pendant actually work as the train pass? Just tap and go! SO CUTE! Love the Kuromi one! MSN X Kitty Lab: Click HERE! Kitty Lab Facebook: Click HERE!

Monday, July 27, 2009 6:53 PM - I have decided that I had enough... I NEED TO QUIT EATING INDOMIE. - I am super addicted to 白饭鱼。 May not be a bad thing afterall since it's more nutritious than indomie. - I need to shed off some serious fats. Back to the 400 crunches a day. D i s c i p l i n e, ANNE! - Suddenly I realise there is nothing I want in my wishlist other than going back to SG for good... buy our own place and maybe... plans for a kid? - I am impressed with myself for staying at home, sitting on the sofa for almost 12 hours a day for the past 1 year plus. I swear my butt is getting bigger because of that (i think it swell lor!). WTF man. Why do we grow fats and not muscles by sitting down. Pui. - I wish to get the biz started by this year end. Got that difficult or not? - I still want Kovan Melody... - I wonder will I miss HK if I were to go back SG for good? Maybe the nice security guard uncle and the cafe de coral cashier who are super friendly to me. - I miss my family, friends and singapore food TERRIBLY. - I miss durians especially. HK one sucks. - I love Ling mei, KJ & Ah Li. They know why. Muah! - I think the hubby is made in the heaven for me. Perfect. :) Lalalala... Maybe salad for dinner!
Friday, July 24, 2009 5:02 PM 虽然认识你之前，我流了很多泪，心曾经有多碎。。。 但今天的我还是幸运的。 现在的我比从前幸福，因为我 deserve better。 Looking back at my older entries, 我不仅笑了。 你和我在这些年变了好多。我不知道我能爱一个人那么久。。。 曾经的我是那么任性。 But you've changed me to a better person and I really appreciate it. I don't know how my life would be without you. It scares me sometimes to even think about my very last breath with you. But I told myself, able to marry you is 我前世修来的福气。 I love you my dearest husband! Happy 2 years 1 month ROM-niversary. <3 Labels: anniversary, hk, marriage
Tuesday, July 21, 2009 8:09 AM When you realise everything around you have changed, you've 2 options left. 1) Change to adapt. OR 2) Move on. So much for being the SAME... I am sick already. Thanks for standing by... whoever you are. You know I appreciate it. Thursday, July 16, 2009 1:08 PM and decided to buy 4 cameras at one go. And the DHL delivery guy came by this morning to deliver my purchases... HAHAHA!  You believe meh... I would have used the money and buy something else liao! :P Anyway the charms are way too cute to resist! Look at how small is the LC-A+ one compared to the real deal. <3
Tuesday, July 14, 2009 12:19 PM  As much as I don't wish to, blogging seems to be a weekly affair now... Perhaps I figure out that by writing lesser boring stuff and posting a whooooole lot of pictures once in a while will be more interesting. Gonna spare a thought to my readers. :P My life have been soooooooo boring that I can't even summarise them into one paragraph for me to blog it out. Only one word to describe, which is B O R I N G. (oh dear did I just said boring again? argh.) I didn't want to jump into the bandwagon and blog about the late Michael Jackson because I thought I will not be much affected about his passing but I was wrong when one day I realise he is the only person who can bring me to tears with his songs. I mean, tell me, are there any other singers and song writers who can move you to tears with their voice and music? The kind of love his songs express is not just any kind bgr relationship... but the love for the children... the yearn for world peace, sometimes we can't seems to find the right words to express, yet he is able to do so through his songs. (Childhood) Have you seen my Childhood? I'm searching for the world that I come from 'Cause I've been looking around In the lost and found of my heart... No one understands me They view it as such strange eccentricities... 'Cause I keep kidding around Like a child, but pardon me... People say I'm not okay 'Cause I love such elementary things... It's been my fate to compensate, for the Childhood I've never known... Have you seen my Childhood? I'm searching for that wonder in my youth Like pirates in adventurous dreams, Of conquest and kings on the throne... Before you judge me, try hard to love me, Look within your heart then ask, Have you seen my Childhood? People say I'm strange that way 'Cause I love such elementary things, It's been my fate to compensate, for the Childhood I've never known... Have you seen my Childhood? I'm searching for that wonder in my youth Like fantastical stories to share The dreams I would dare, watch me fly... Before you judge me, try hard to love me. The painful youth I've had Have you seen my Childhood... It's okie Michael, to love such elementary things. It's okie... RIP. xx
Monday, July 06, 2009 10:11 AM Hello everyone! Thanks for the feedbacks in the previous post! They are really important to me so I know what I should bring in and what should I not. By the way, how much are you willing to spend on Rilakkuma items. Like maybe, cups $20, wallet $30? As we all know, original items from Japan San-x are quite pricy so it's part of my concern when bringing certain items too. Let me know ya! Still at the midst of getting things done but I wish I could start the Rilakkuma store soon! :) So these days I have been busy flipping thru catalog (still wah-ing at them and wish all were mine!) and doing a list of items that I may wanna bring in. I used to do such work when I am still working in my Dad's coy. Excel is my best friend. HEE! I am so engrossed with this upcoming store that I spent our weekends at home (while the hubby still busy exploring his new cam). 1st of June was HK's public holiday (Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Establishment Day) and we decided to give our tummy good treats that day. We had delicious dimsum for high tea! Love it! And when we were on the way to the restaurant, the Hubby saw a kid holding on to a Hello Kitty Macdonalds toy. He knows I have a weak spot for nice Macdonalds collaboration toys so he drag me to Mac and check it out. We are really lucky to make it on time for their special set release. They are selling a set of 6 toys, with 6 discount card and 1 tote bag at the price of HKD188. (without the need to eat their set meals at all. Originally, customers have to pay HKD20 for each toy. Plus the tote bag, discount card and 1 of the toy, in doctor outfit, only available from the special set.)  SO cute hor! Wah lau I heard the set got sold out on the same day in less than 6 hours. And thank god I managed to get one more set for my Sister. :) That night, we had dinner at C'est bon!, a French cuisine quite famous in HK. Since its so conveniently located at the mall next to our place, we decided to celebrate our belated wedding anniversary.  The food is really good! But I have forgotten to take pictures of the main dish. I had rosemary lambsteak while the hubby had fish. I LOVE THEIR foie gras and redwine pear to the max! But then I will reconsider about going again... Their service really sucks. 1st, the knife on my side is dirty. I can't figure out if it's SOAP or BUTTER which they didn't managed to wash them off entire. UGH. 2ndly, they manager (!!) attitude is super turn off. Just because he can't really understand english, he gave this super annoyed look which I wanna slap him real hard! BAH! Seriously, they have the worse attitude among the rest of fine dining restaurant I have been to and somemore they are not EXACTLY that fine dining la! Pui. Okie! I gotta go back to get work done now! Hope you guys have a great Monday and I hope Hong Kong have typhoon soon! :P Labels: anniversary, biz, marriage
Wednesday, July 01, 2009 5:03 PM Dear readers of my blog, If one day I decided to set up my own store selling San-x items, especially Rilakkuma, will you be interested to patronize my store? Tell me, what will you be interested in and what are the things you wish I can bring in? xoxo, Anne
