Too Forgetful...

Know what i did cos i bought only 2 bunch of sunflowers but my flower vase needs more then that so i have to go buy some more... When i was packing my bag, i purposely left out my bunch of keys so that i need not search for them in my bag later to open the door to go out...

But in a matter of minutes, i totally forgot the keys and locked my room door... When i got to the house door, i realise it but its too late so i got to go down to Tanjong Pagar where mummy is to get spare key from her... Her stupid office lift got so many people getting out on this and that floor that it took so long... That's why i hate going up her office... But no choice...

I think if i keep either losing my keys or locking them in my room in no time she's gonna ask me to make it into a necklace and just tie it to me... Like when i was young i always forget to bring school books and call home crying and my dad will always rush from work and be Mr DHL delivering the books to me... Until one day, my mum got fed up by my forgetfulness and decided to ask me to carry all my books to school so that i won't forget any book... My schoolbag became so heavy from then...

Pork floss stick... Totally in love with Sunflower...

Long long time ago i tried to make pork floss roll but failed... This chinese new year goody is my grandma's speciality... I love the rolls she make every year... I tried again a week or 2 ago and it failed again the skin was too thick and the failed product all went into my darling's (my dog) stomach cos he won't complain... Other then that i also pick up a few other cooking skills from her like making glutinous rice balls, ABC soup, white raddish soup, cucumber soup, congee, barley and etc...

Wednesday, i decided to try again... Never give up for something i like... I succeeded this time round after cutting the skin smaller... In 2 days, i made about 100 over sticks... But in less 5 days its all gone...

Thursday, the photoshop finally called up... At 6 plus, i and Xinyi went to look for the shop at albert court hotel which we had no idea where until i guess its the hotel at the end of the street of Sim Lim... Don't be mistake that i have been to the hotel doing things i shouldn't do... Honestly, I have stayed in a few others but not this one and its not what u might be thinking the ones are all booked by my mum so that during the holiday season we need not go and catch the train and cab back home after celebration... Never expect the photos to be so heavy and i have to carry it from albert court to bugis where we had dinner and shop a bit to gain nothing... When i was returning, the bus i took the cover for the aircon part dropped down for one side of the seats... I choose to sit beside the drop part so that i don't have to worry about being hit by it cos its swinging... There was this auntie that sat down but started to worry that it will hit her so funny... Sorry a bit bad... Lijuan say tomorrow is off cos she fell down and her leg blue black...

Why my pork floss sticks are gone? Ans: I tested some myself, my bro, my mum and i brought about 40 sticks to adidas on friday cos i was meeting my mum at IP which is opposite... Too bad Priscilia left for the day... Got to know that Elsa also missed out on the jelly other then him when Francis commented that jelly was nice... Everyone eat until they forgot about him... I told Elsa that he hasn't had any when there was 3 left...

Saturday, i finally went to buy flowers that i've been wanting to buy to add touch to my house decor... I bought a yellow table cloth weeks ago... So to match it up i bought sunflowers... Now i am totally in love with the bunch of sunflowers i bought... Seeing the sunflower everyday just makes my days shine and smile...

Sunday, i and my mum went to buy cheese pineapple tart cos i heard it over the radio promoting it... While walking up from taka to Robinson some water drop on me... I thought was only a drop but it began to pour and i told my mum its not water its raining... Bright sunshine and its raining... Today's mission is to get chinese new year clothes for my bro as he have spend more then half the money that my dad gave him to buy chinese new year clothing and haven bought a single piece... Finally, we got him 4 tops, 2 shirts, 2 jeans and a pair of shoes...

Life...

Priscilia say that Life is all about money... But i don't think so... I think life is about learning... Money is needed but not the most important... U won't want to be busy earning money and doing repetitive stuff that u become a robot... U don't want to be married to the company cos of the salary and when u are 60 and retired realise that u don't have anyone there for u... U don't want to regret when u lose ur family for not giving them enough care and concern... Or regret not spending enough time with them until u realise that they are gone... Realise that u miss out on getting married, having children when all ur friends have... Care and concern for others cannot be done in a day... Its the putting in of effort everyday...

Tuesday...

Today, I brought my darling Marco to grooming... From morning, i've been running over time... I wanted to bring him there at 11 am but when i called the shop at 10 plus it was not open yet... So in the end by the time i brought him there it was 12 plus... Piscillia called up and say cheque is ready... I thought i will not be able to make it today but later i got an appointment changed to tomorrow so i went to adidas... Guess after today, it might be the last day i step into adidas... I bought along 12 jellies that i made yesterday...

I reach there and found that he is not in i thought he MC... Auditors are here but the girl adeline is nowhere to be seen... At 3 plus i wanted to go but in the end don't know how i sit there till 4 plus then it started to rain... Suddenly, i saw him come back... But jellies have been finished by priscilia after it had gone round the finance team...

Wed - Mon My driving license...

Wednesday, i went to try Ben & Jerry's ice cream... When i walk into the shop, i was looking for my favourite green colour peppermint ice cream... To my disappointment, i can't find any green ice cream so i ask the customer service... She showed me to an ice cream that looks like vanilla choco chip but it taste like peppermint ice cream... I ordered a milkshake which cost me $7.90 exp right... So i was paying the branding haha... Anyway since the name was famous i decided to try for at least once... I like to try new things but not too extreme like eyes of animal... If i never remember wrongly i have a friend who told me her mom tried eyes of don't know what animal think was mogolian food... If never remember wrongly, the friend is liwen... I remember that i tried snake soup in hongkong many years back... Thinking of hongkong makes me want to eat their mango dessert and pig's blood which singapore used to have but now no more... Pass by Godiva chocolate shop at raffles link and the chocolate drink caught my eye... Next time, I will go and try that...

Thursday, cannot remember le... Memory very bad...

Last friday, finally got sun shine le... :)... Finally, i got about to buy jelly mix which i keep forgetting... And went to have a lot at shoes cos i haven got myself any shoes for chinese new year... My list of clothes have gone from a dress to a top and 3 skirts as of 16th Jan 2006...

Saturday, My dad gave me driving lesson... I laugh at a tiny car that keeps swaying left and right don't know where is the centre of the lane... And know what, my dad say the car is just the reflection of u driving also sway here and there don't know where u want to go... Then i said cos i seeing the car so i also sway here and there hahaha...

After that, I went to see a new born baby only few hrs old... So cute... His mom after 24 hrs of labour say to her doctor see u next year... Her hubby say she siao one... She is 31 yrs old... She was 55 kg before she had her baby but now she has balloon to 75 kg... But her baby is only 3.1 kg... I was carrying the baby when the nurse say that she need to wrap the baby nicely so that his mom can breastfeed him... She ask me to put him in the crib but then i ask her how to put the baby down... She look at me like i got something wrong... What's wrong with being able to carry him but not putting down? He was pass over by my mom... She took him over so roughly that he begin to cry... Poor thing... We all carry him also don't cry... Seems like she's not very gentle...

Sunday, I decided to do up all my pics from Australia once and for all but after hours of hard work i still have a bit left after 5 - 6 hours and its 1.30 am... I went to buy a new album and got a free gift of a cup... I love the cover althought i don't need so many pages i still cannot not buy it...

Monday, a day without rain when i brought umbrella... Maybe i should start bringing umbrella so that it won't rain and everyone is happy... One person sacrifice better then all mah... I saw a dress at mango going for $73 similar to the dress that i like from fashion lab which cost $79 too bad don't have my size... I went to Robinson but came out empty handed... I forgot to mention i was at city hall so i went to check out HOG'S BREATH CAFE which i had before in Australia... They seems to have the same stuff... Cost for steak is between $29.50 - $34.00... Which upon convertion to Aussie will cost about the same here and there...

After which, which i went to Popular at Bras Basah and found that it had been renovated... Walking up to this fashion, i went to have a look and ended up with a green mini skirt... Now, my CNY skirts got from dress to mini skirt...

After which, i decided to head to Yio Chu Kang SSDC (Singapore safety driving centre) to see if i can get my license converted... I had cold feet when i reach Ang Mo Kio but i decided to go in the end...

Reasons as follows:
1) Earlier know can go and try again as my final theory had expired...
2) My dad's been nagging...
3) I feel that driving without knowing if my license is legal also a bit dangerous...

I reach there and found that i might have forgot to bring something but after a while i realise that i did bring them dumb right... Poor memory lah... The lady ask me something about my date of return and i didn't really catch her and she said she (me)herself also cannot remember... Anyway, i manage to get by and she say i will receive my license in 2 weeks... Hope they don't go and check again or i don't know if i will be so lucky... Keeping my fingers cross, waiting to receive my license in 2 weeks... I think i sms almost everyone that knows about my brissy license and i want to convert it cos i was happy till over the moon... I can't even stop smiling... In hyper mode, i went to clean up the last room (spare room cum store room), wash clothes and finally make the jellys that i been wanting to make...Wonder if i gonna be able to sleep hahaha... Very stupid right... Over the moon over something so small... 容易滿足...

Tomorrow, got to go shopping again... No time liao and i still got stuff haven buy like shoes and tops... I don't see any shoes i like but i should say i also have been picky... I want it white and have straps so it won't drop and cs i have a purple and white dress, blue and white skirt, beign skirt and a green mini skirt (latest purchase)... I've been wanting to buy flowers... I found that i have 8 empty flowers vases at home, i manage to fill 3 of them last friday but that still leaves me with 5 empty flower vases...

Sunday...

Its raining... We met at orchard 12 pm... We went to taka crystal jade to see if got space... The lady who was giving the numbers was not very friendly when we ask how long we got to wait... Singapore employers really should send their employees for service course... Its about 14 people before our turn so we headed to Isetan shaw which we think should have lesser people... I think i got memory problem... I was there 4 days ago and remember that i saw crytal jade but now i have no idea where it is and true enough we need not queue for 14 people but only 2...



After crystal jade, we went to CK tangs where we found an interesting fitting room for the ladies... Cos its raining we decided to go to try TCC...



After TCC, we headed to Taka to walk... At 4 plus Xinyi got to leave cos her friend's brother is marching playing the band so she is going to see but its raining so i also have no idea how they gonna march... After walking around with liwen at taka we headed to wisma and ended home...

Monday went by not remembering what i did...

Today, 5 of us (Sulin, Rain, Liwen, Xinyi and me) are going to yum cha our fave activity in Brisbane... For 4 months, i never yum cha already... I still can remember the very nice egg tart we had at chinatown freshly made... Now i eat all the egg tarts also feel that its not as good as that one... Now i so want to pack all the nice food that i like and bring it back to sg with me...

After yum cha, we went to walk supermarket cold storage at taka and market place at paragon...Also one of our fave activity cos shops close at 5.30 sharp... Coles and Woolsworth are dearly remembered... My cold joke: Coles is cold... Oh did i mention i can say it with a straight face :P ... In Australia, the supermarkets are not as crowded as sg ones and service are faster... But one thing is sg plastic bags are better... We had some experience with the bag breaking while walking home in australia... This is how bad the plastics bags are... We always have to double them up...

Liwen had to leave, sulin is going back home and rain had appointment at night... This leaves me and Xinyi, we went to HMV and headed to Plaza Singapura... After walking for hours, our legs are very suan so we headed to Swensen for early dinner...

Raining...

Its the raining season... Its raining everyday... So damping of spirits... I dislike the rain... I like the sunshine... Sometimes, its good in a while to have rain cos then we no need to worry about water... Plants also need them... Floors also can be cleaned like the mess in orchard after christmas... Till today u can still see some of the spray stuff on the floor or displays...

I wanted to go down to office on thursday cos priscilia need my ic... Actually, i got up pretty early but along the way i fell asleep again... Can't help it after all i came in at 12.30 am the day before and went to bed at around 2 am... I went to watch Narnia with my friend... And it was raining what a nice weather to catch up on sleep... Dreams are always better then real life... Ok Desiree is getting a bit dreamy and unrealistic but that's what dreams are for...

Finally, on friday i went down to office... I met Ken an IT guy from our office at the mrt station... Such a coincidence, that we actually got on the train on the same stop but never see each other until we reach... Karen and Priscilia was pretty surprise to see me... Priscilia mention that she will not allow her daughter to be dress in a miniskirt i wore that day it was the last mini skirt that i bought before returning to SG... I cannot sit with it can only stand... But never mind, cos it was raining wear so long for what its not as if i am going there to work...

Before i left, i returned something to him with present his fave sweets i guess he got sweet tooth always eating sweets or it helps to keep him awake... :P But there was only once when i saw him very tired looking the day he return after exams thursday... When i ask i thought i heard him saying 伤心... He sounds sick that day too but he says that's because he never speak for few days... Weird right where got people don't talk for few days... Tomorrow meeting xinyi and liwen at orchard at 12 pm don't know if i gonna be there on time...

3rd Jan 2006

Wanted to bring my cousin to school today... I brought her 6 yrs ago when she went to primary 1 and she fell sick the 1st day... What i didn't know was that school starts at 7.15 am so early... Her desiree jeh jeh really long time never go to school so early already... I got up at 6.20 manage to kick myself out of the house at 6.50 but i got caught in the morning jam and by the time i reach she already went into assembly hall... My aunt waited for me outside her school which was my secondary school once... We went to have a look then we left at 7.30... Afterwhich, i bought back breakfast...

So tired... I went to post letters with my darling doggy but he seems very lost today and he actually knock himself straight in the face into the post box...Ouch... but it was so funny... I found that i got a lot of things waiting for me to do but i haven started i wrote a list last week but i still haven finish cos i am always doing everything else... But never mind, i got the time in the world... Maybe its this thinking that's why things aren't done... Anyway, people don't give u credit for things that u do but on the other hand they will nag when they see things undone... So unfair right... But this is just how human beings are...

My mum gave me a business idea yesterday night and ask me to write up a business plan... Search the whole library at home and found that i left my entrepreneurship textbook in aussie... I thought i brought it back... ??? ... I also notice that i have a communication textbook which i carried back my mum have the exact copy... Such a coincidence right mother and daughter use the same text... Because the book was publish years and years ago... If i have known, i won't be so dumb to bring it back... It cost weight esp books... Funny thing was she can't recognise her book and mistake mine for hers and keep saying its her until i show her her copy...

Back to my business plan...Went to the library to borrow some books on how to write a business plan... The ones that i manage get my hands on are: Anatomy of a Business plan and Successful business planning in 30 days...I am not good in writting it cos the last time i did a business plan i only manage a pass...I hope that i can start and finish this project cos as i will always be thinking that i have all the time in the world until my mum comes and ask where's her business plan that i was suppose to give her... Maybe the 30 days book will come in very handy for me... I am someone who sees the big picture but don't know how to get there... I need someone where can teach me see the steps so that i can walk towards the big picture...

New year New resolutions...

Went to see fireworks at esplanade to count down to the New year... My official 2006 started today on 2nd January 2006 instead of 1st January 2006 cos i found that i have left something behind in my year 2005... I wanted to leave it behind on wednesday but on 1st Jan i decided that i can't leave it in 2005... I need to do something to make myself move into 2006 with a blank paper... So in the end, i set myself to make it so that i am able to move forward to 2006...
