Punishment for the girl who arrived ONE MINUTE before countdown LOL(We were supposed to meet at 8.30 pm lo..)

Countdown to Christmas 2008!

Party Popper Time!..we did a Kallang wave with the party poppers..FUN!We cleared the whole box ok..lol 72 pcs . And look at the mess of the table.Lol

PINK ARMY CUPCAKES.HOW CUTE IS THAT..Fengjiao's artwork.. It's way way better than the log cakes we used to get.

The gift exchange name tags I printed out for the occasion. Useful ok..

It was Huixia who got the gift I bought. Pink passport leather holder. Functional with a touch of pink. She does look happy with the gift rite..

Huijun with my picnic bag mini gift

Wyn with her ''name tag''

I got Fengjiao's pink makeup kit. There's bling bling face powder, BB cream and a pink puff.

Mini Gifts from the rest of the Pinkies, everything is to my liking this year. there were alot of personalised and thoughtful gifts this year that I really appreciate.

I can use the pillbox from see tien(I eat alot of vits everyday), I can use the foot spray from huixia (cos I like to wear super high heels ..comes in handy), coaster from huijun for my cup of tea every evening, Oreo cookie mirror from wyn, earrings from fengjiao (accessory when I go out), photo frame from peisze (great when I go QLD soon), magnets from Moreen (great for my magnetic board that I often use). Thanks Pinkies

The Christmas Cards. Got Pink panther pink Christmas card from Huixia...

Pink Snowman Pic of myself..cute..(from Fengjiao)

This year Christmas party is one of the best in recent years. (though we miss JLB's presence, we tried calling but no one picked up) I think it was good cos there were alot of hiccups for the planning part of it. (Over-budget problems, location problems), but in the end, all went well. Very well in fact.

There were also alot of thoughtful gifts this year too. Though it was nothing too expensive, but there was a lot of effort and shopping done for most of the gifts.

Let's look forward to a great party next year!

Christmas Cheer for Gavin

Pop Up Card

Since I'm going to meet Gavin in Qld soon, it's really make not much sense to send over a bulky gift (and spend alot on express postage) like what I did previous years. So I made a classic (not simple/bo sim/hand draw ok) pop up card (all thanks to wikihow) and a small gift to show a little christmas cheer to the guy who's still working shift on Christmas. But I think I sent it a little too late. Lol. Luckily he didn't mind.

Cookie's HGE Scare

On Saturday evening..Cookie was down with HGE. Hemorrhagic gastroenteritis (HGE) is a canine disease characterized by sudden vomiting and bloody diarrhoea.

It's like the canine version of stomach flu..but for animals...they go into dehydration and thickening blood much faster than humans..so must be treated asap.

We thought it was just a normal diarrhoea..until it became to look quite bad..So, we rushed him to the vet and but it was just a bad day...there were no taxi in sight, call cab I was on call waiting, then call the clinic (8.30 close) to ask them to be last patient also never picked up..then when we finally flagged down a cab, the cab driver drove the wrong route and was horribly slow..and need to stop with every red light.

By the time we reached the clinic, we managed to be the last patient...but need to be charged $90 for OT consultation..(normal price: $35) ..

This vet wasn't too kind to Cookie too, quite rough with him..luckily my cookie high calibre..never even make a sound when got two huge injections..now have to go through fasting too..

Now Cookie is recovering quite well. Feeding the medication is the worst thing..he got 6 tablets and 1 syrup to eat 3 times a day..I got many scratches and threatening bites from him from feeding the medicine..I still need to pound the medicine into powder..and disinfect his sleeping area many times a day.....slave to my dog

Cookie is now a SLIM DOG ok...got waist already. He lost 3 kg in over a week. around 25% of his original weight..so impressive.I think he will get even slimmer soon.Lol

Injuried Cookie

Cookie recently has alot of muscle strains problems with his leg..two weeks earlier is hind leg..this time front leg...

He's super kua zhang, he went on a 3 day fasting (animal's natural response when sick)..only drink water and virtually hibernate for 3 whole days. He look as if he's dying any moment that kind...but I know already...don let him fooled again.

And I become his vet too ( that time groomer)...haha...self medicate ...I bought a $2 Daiso elastic band...then apply tiger balm for him everyday...and make him shine the infrared machine every night...

Now's he's alright already, but I kept the bandage on, just in case. The bandage has brought about a lot of stares when I walk him..all thought I abused or something..haha

JB Again- This time to Jusco

Went Jb again..the customs again was horrible...i queued for 90 mins and

The queue was HORRIBLE..
1.The queues were so undefined cos a lot of couples stand side by side and mislead the people behind. cant they stand single file?..they can stand single file to queue at the sg customs but forget totally how to queue at the malaysia customs.

2. There were two teen girls behind me..using loudspeaker and singing..actually ktv at citisquare is very cheap only..cant they go sing when they reach there? It's not 校园superstar leh..
I don really mind if their singing is good..but it's just way too off. They were cursing away as if they were super cool that kind. How pathetic.

3.Then our queues got cut again and again by alot of fully mummified people..They cut queues with strategy de leh..so professional...I wonder where their teachings has gone to...

BUT all the misery was put to an end once I reached Jusco. It's my 1st time to Jusco..it's like a megamall type of thing...very similar to Jurong Point.

Had lunch at Nando's..I din expect to see Nando's in malaysia..I used to have them in Perth..where I find the spicy chilli sauce very tasty...one of the fav restaurants with my classmates as well..But it just din taste just as nice...cos my must-have peri peri chips were out of stock that day..

The 血拼姐妹花..my sis and me...bought so much stuff...Cos there's the Mango Sale...lol..it's even cheaper than SG Mango Sale..alot of fellow singaporeans were there too...I even msg wyn want to get the leather bag anot..but reception was very poor..it was so hard to get the msg sent out..

Leather belt from mango..

My 1st pair of Mango heels..love the shape of the heel...

Then went into the organic market at Jusco...and found this liquid bentonite. Has been reading about the great raves in the detox book that I was reading earlier..so I decided to get one.

Accordingly, Bentonite is a natural clay mineral of volcanic origin, created from volcanic ash deposits that are millions of years old. It provides strong detoxification in the digestive tract, with the ability to bind herbicides, viruses and other potentially harmful substances by adsorbent action. Bentonite's mechanism of action is physical, due to its colloidal structure and charged particles, which allow it to bind with toxins in the stomach, small intestine and colon.

Tried it for couple of days..not much taste...felt like I drinking cornstarch solution..

OF COS, how can I forget the comfort food..Dunkin Donuts..hahaha..

Donut is a cute word....Since I got Cookie already, I can consider my future dogs be called brownie, donut, waffle, muffin or pancake..haha...all dessert or confectionary names..

Summit Bag...

magazine again...I broke the mirror inside the free gift...bad luck..bad luck...jialat...

My sis is a shoe fanatic..she currently own more than 60 pairs...and had occupied my share of the shoe cabinet..I have 4 rows t myself initially...now i only have 2..

She bought 3 pairs of shoes from Summit until can renew membership and get a super gold recycling bag back...So bling..lol..btw, 2 pairs of the 3 are same design but in different colour.

Her mango sale 血拼 has not ended after buying 2 tshirts and a bag from there..Accordingly to what she msg me over msn..she heading to the marina square outlet with her friend this evening to check out....to see whether the black heels that I got has any stock in her shoe size anot.

New Jurong Point Extention Night Adventure

Yesterday night, I was accompanying my sis to pay her credit card bill at 11 plus...cos it was going to be overdue at 12mn. I was actually quite reluctant, cos I already taken my shower, lathered on all my big list of lotions and serums and all ready for bed..

In the end, I still went with her..

So we went to the SAM Machine, got it done and eh...realised the new extention was already all up and quite a few people are window shopping there..there are already some people sitting at Starbucks, sipping their coffee away..

One guy who went past us was talking to his friend on the phone was like ''Eh, the jurong point extention open liao lor...so er xin...it's freaking huge''

Lol..

Pics of my night adventure..

the exterior...

cute rite...giant table lamps..in pink and white..so girlish..

this shop got a stairway u need to go up before you get into the restaurant..lol...i tot it was crazy to take a pic at 12 mn...when the shop is still spookingly dark..I was so scared that I would capture something else..haha

the extention...it's just one part only..there's another block behind it..but not ready yet..

lots of bigger brand restaurants below.

I think there's really not much reason for me to go town next time..there is really lots of shops lo...500 over...

DIY Pet Grooming -Second Attempt

After Cookie's pet shop membership expired, and after Jurong Point Pet Station moved to the basement, Cookie cant go anywhere for his grooming anymore.

Cos Cookie don know how to take the escalator down to B1, he don't allow us to carry him anymore. We cant touch his head, face, eyes, ears or legs. Only can touch his back. And he always turn around and show you his butt before you can touch him. Sian 1/2

We cant get him on a cab too, cos need to carry him up the cab. Plus he will get carsick (like owner lol).

In the end, no choice, I need to 亲自动手. The 1st attempt was already quite good, except Cookie look like a mouse than a dog. It was such a turn-off to see a fat ''mouse'' wagging his tail first thing in the morning for the past couple of months.

Now the second attempt, voila...turn out great...(of cos, i took 2 hours and two hotdogs to get the job done) and I need to coax him like crazy to let me cut the hair off his face and legs..

End product: not bad rite..saved 65 bucks too..(the pic, he look abit depressed, but he always like that when he takes pictures.)
