Back!!!!!!!

I am back peeps!

Energy was totally drained by the time I reached SG at 4 plus in the morning. And I zonked out throughout the 2 hours flight. Surprised at how I managed to wake up when food were served. The power of food. Haha. After eating I went back to lala land immediately, and the next thing I know, the plane was landing already. Hahaha.

And I super blur. I all along thought will be touching down SG at 12 plus midnight. So I never take any leave on Wed. Turns out the flight was 12 midnight. I remembered wrongly. How smart. And, flight was delayed for almost an hour. Take off time was also delayed.

So, ended up I was too tired to go for work, and under the "advice" and persuasion from Tintin and his parents, I took another day's leave. Keke. Was rotting at his house. Napping to replenish my sleep and watching TV and Dvd at night. Cabbed home just before midnight with my barang.

Bali trip was fun with that crazy couple. And Mariane was as clumsy and blur like me. So we compliment each other. Haha. Hopefully, this trip helped to turn back my human clock to a more decent one, as I wake up early everyday.

My poor dearie and me "lost" quite a sum of money there. So heart pain. But just take it as a good lesson learnt. Beware of the money changers there. Their hands were as fast as lightning. But I didn't say much coz I didn't want him to feel worse. Other than kanna cheated by money changer by a huge sum, tio tok by street vendors, tio ask money for "fine" by traffic police which the "fine" ended up in his own pocket, the rest were fine.

But all these incidents makes me appreciate Singapore. At least you are safe when you spend your money. And perhaps these are the reasons why their country cannot prosper and true enough, the high corruption rate.

Just take it as we spend the 冤枉 amount of money as lesson and experience learnt, and know what to take note next time we go there.

I am too lazy to post the photos now. And I am hungry. Gonna eat lunch and prepare for work soon. Thinking of work, there are sure lots of stuff to clear for my absence the past few days. Sianz.

Just some whinings...

I dunno since when this habit started but once in every 2, 3 months, I have the strong urge to spend lavishly, on luxurious goods. And this is bad. Really bad.

Curently sitting top on the list is a Gucci canvas tote and a Tiffany & Co Bracelet.

The tote cost $560 and bracelet $400+...

I know I shouldn't splurge so often. But temptation is strong.

Someone help me.............

*****************************************************

Anyway, following the cab fare hike in February, now there is another diesel surcharge. Oh great. And this caught me by surprise. Took a cab to tuition on Thursday, and saw the meter started off at $2.80 and a extra charge of $0.30. I kept staring at the metre, assuming that the cabby uncle was trying to cheat me of my $0.30. Haha. When I paid for the fare, he included the $0.30. Indignant, I questioned what was the 30 cents for. He said is diesel surcharge. -_-"' Then I got reminded that I heard from dunno where that there will be this surcharge. Basket. In January whenever I took cab to my tuition, cab fare never exceed $3.50. After the hike it was $4, and now with the diesel charge it's $4.30. I have already told myself that I am going to be a tad hardworking to wake up earlier to take bus to tuition.

And I found out that only comfort cabs impose this charge. Why I so suay kanna comfort cab?
Then I was telling Wendy, that surely other cab companies will follow suit soon one. I was so right... SMRT cabs will impose the 30 cents starting this Saturday. Once the incumbent implement anything, the rest will sure follow. Let's see if diesel prices decrease, will the cab companies remove the diesel charge. I am waiting.

Bus fares and MRT fares are again on a rise soon. They never stop increasing. Every year at least increase once. I wonder, the increment is to cover increasing operating cost, or increase the profit margin? For other countries, any hikes will bring about riots or strikes. In Singapore, citizens will just whine whine and complain (me too) and LL accept it. So, riots and strikes do have their good and bad.

The other day tintin brought me to bugis for movie. We drove there and ERP charges totalled 3 bucks. I got a shock. One at ECP, one while entering bugis. One car easily can earn $3. Singapore government ver smart hor? Imagine how much they earn by collecting ERP? Their cost? Nil. Or probably at most the cost of setting up the gantry. And the number of ERP gantry keeps on adding. I saw on those circulating email, ERP stands for Every Road Pays. How ironic.

Nuff complaining and venting my anger at the increasing cost of living, Moving on the happier things. Bali in 4 more days! I endure for one more tues without my tintin, Wed night meet him for Mambo and stay over his place, Thurs go work and immediately off to Bali! Yay!! Our flight is at 6.20 in the morning. So 4 am have to reach airport. I think no need to sleep liao.

And, 16th July 208. Best Mambo since Yr 2008. I still miss the days where Zouk lights on at 3am, Summer rain at 2.30am. Now, wanna wait for those songs? After 3.13am. From 12am to 3.13 am? Fucked up. But of coz music so lousy by the time 2 plus buay tahan go for supper already. Gone were the times I enjoyed each Wed. Now I only complain how cannot make it the music is. And Tintin's detest for the fucked up music makes him forgo Mambo. He now only goes once a month. Like menses. Hahaha. Also gone were the days where he sacrifices his sleep and sometimes take leave just for Mambo. He says it's totally not worth it. Which I agree. Missing the old Mambo with all the combo hits.

My long awaited nasi lemak

I was watching XX's guide to life on clicknetwork. And apparently this episode is on whether is there is a difference between a normal dish from a normal hawker stall and a famous dish featured in makan shows with forever queue. Turns out that the chicken rice, hokkien mee, and nasi lemak all can tell the difference!

Ok, that's not my point. My point is, the Changi Village nasi lemak was one of the test item. And it makes me fume! Why? Coz Tintin Chan said he will buy me that Nasi Lemak since last year September but till now I smell and see no sign of the nasi lemak!! I still remember last year we had a chalet at Aloha Loyang, in the middle of the night I told him I want go eat Changi Village nasi lemak, strong craving. He tired and lazy to go, so told me next time. Now 10 months down the road I am still waiting for his so called next time. Wonder when it will come.

In my whole life I have only eaten it twice. The last time when I was still with my ex bf, and if I remembered correctly he bought the nasi lemak for me. My god it was soooooo nice. And fyi that was 7 freaking years ago. But I can still vividly remember how tasty it was. So tasty that I think I can die for it. No wait. I think my life is much more precious than a packet of nasi lemak. Or maybe I can spend 50 bucks on the packet. That is how strong the craving is and how much I like the nasi lemak. But stupid tintin don't even care. Sobs.

Tintin Chan! Do you still remember you owe me a packet of Changi Village Nasi Lemak??!! When you want to buy for me or bring me go eat?! I will get real mad if you cheat me ok.

Work work and work

Work has been stressing quite a fair bit of me these few days. Usually, I didn't eat dinner because I haven't got time to buy. For the whole week I didn't eat because I didn't even have the time to eat!

Workload simply pile up at a much higher rate than I clear them. Everyday I step into the office, and I will stone for a few moment because I cannot decide what I want to do first. Everything seems urgent! And not forgetting when I have planned what I wanna do for the day there will be sudden ad hoc stuff for me to handle. Omg...

If this continues I am going to go bonkers soon.

And I am so freaking looking forward to the Bali trip!! Can't wait to throw all the work aside and immense myself in play and fun. Especially feel so now when I have so much work to do!

Please let these 2 weeks pass fast and smooth.

Sentosa with Elmo

While I was reaching out for the air con control before leaving office just now, I kicked a ring file and the cover screeched against my poor leg. Parts of the skin came off. And that hurts. Especially stings when I bathed. Ouch. Tintin labels me as the Legendary Walking Disaster, of which I detest and refuse to swallow. But time and time, I proved his theory right somehow. *whines

Photos of me, tintin, and elmo 2 weeks back.









My boy is so cute right? (Now which one am I refering to? hee hee) Such a handsome boy he is. After leaving sentosa we brought him to a dog cafe at Mohammad Sultan, for dinner. Seeing such a glutton he is, I ordered a large portion for him to eat his full. His dinner came in a doggy bowl, and he sniffed before taking bites. Great. I thought. I hope he liked it. Then came our human food. Tmd. The moment our food came he shooved his bowl aside, and gave both of us the pitiful innocent look. His bowl of food cost 11 bucks can! And only a quarter eaten. Annoyed, I refused to give him any food and keep pointing to his bowl and pushed it right into his face.



Being a stubborn little monster, he persisted. Tintin tried tricking him by "sprinkling" something into his bowl, and he sniffed again eat 2 more mouths, and presented us the innocent look again. We finished the human food up, and though he can't see the table, and knew that we had finished up. So LL, he ate his food. But also didn't eat much. Still left slightly more than a quarter. And I gave up. Waste my $$$ that irritating creature.

Dearest Momo, you might not like whatever I had planned for you, but this is the best that I can provide you. It pains me to decide on this solution but it is currently the best way out for you. Give me some time ok?

Right. I feel so hungry suddenly. But I am sleeping soon. No eating!!

Tintin saved the most hamham pic of him in my phone so that it appears when he calls. And I am going to share with you how comical he look.

The first pic


Wah I almost burst out laughing on the bus coz he did the whole thing without my acknowledgement, and this funny pic appeared when he called me. And I commented that he look like a corkster. Hahaha.


Then, unsatisfied that I made fun of the picture, he took another picture and save it as his ID, again without my knowledge.


This one also very funny lor. Haha. But... Just let him be... If he thinks by seeing this pic when he calls makes me happy (it does actually, coz it's just too funny) Thus, currently this pic is still lying the way as it is when it was created.

I am pretty sure that I am gonna get scolded for this. Haha.

For the whole week I have only met him once till now. Still hafta wait till Sat evening then can see him. ... I miss his Tintin smell. Haha. And I want to bite him!!
