:: Isetan Private Sale!!! ::

Me waiting in line & Look at the queue!














My Isetan Shopping Bag to stuff my shopping hauls...







Wow... more n more ppl....





Went to the Isetan Private sale on 29 Sept early in the morning cos my mother wanted to get the casio exilim ex-57 which was on a promotional price of $489 limited to 30 sets only.So who has to go and line up early in the morning for her?
Me of course...Luckily even though there was a long queue of ppl in front of me, I managed to get the camera...
Happy me and Happy Lena's mother...

The store opened early probably due to the long lines of ppl waiting eagerly for the doors to be unlocked and shutters to be let up so they could do their shopping sprees...
I quickly zoomed to the Casio counter to get the camera and I got the 6th out of 30 sets...
Goal No. 1 accomplished...
Next stop, went downstairs to find Linda and get our Adidas Original Watches...
She asked if I got my camera and I happily replied yes.. and the lady behind us suddenly craned her neck to see what I got in my casio paper bag and she quickly scanned her Isetan catalogue to see whether she missed out any good deals...
A bit of a surprise for me n Linda... haha...
Goal No. 2 accomplished, we got our watches!!!

After that, can go and look at clothes n other stuff liaoz... The main goals have been reached... You know, the sale is good cos some brands are on sale at like 30% off... including Joop, the box, levis, adidas, nike, mphosis, iora... good right?In the end, before lunch we had scored slippers, tops, skirts... Excellent...
Fueled up energy for more after lunch shopping at Pepper Lunch... and back to shopping...Looked at shoes, bags but surprisingly... we didn't see anything we liked... and so... off to Isetan Orchard we went, for The Face Shop products... they were having 10% off... We got ourselves face masks and the yoghurt pack as well... *clap clap*

Before we ended our shopping, I had bought 2 more pairs of shoes...and clocked a total of a few hundred bucks in that few hours.... *faintz*

Total Damage Done = $xxx (too scary to be disclosed)
1 mphosis slippers
1 mphosis top
2 mondo shoes
2 Joop skirts
1 Casio Camera
2 Adidas watch
5 Face Masks
1 Yoghurt Pack

Went back in the evening to get Fancl Vitamin C + Perfect Slim Ex
Argh, managed to claim $10 Isetan Voucher through the beauty bonus...
In conclusion, Lena is broke + tired + satisfied with the successful shopping spree...
Also, Lena + Linda got to eat grass for a few weeks... A la Grass anyone???

:: Cirque Du Soleil - Quidam ::

Sketches @ Bugis Juntion

Had Brunch at Sketches - Bugis before Quidam... The pasta there is not bad, can design-your-own pasta with yr own choice of ingredients, sauce, extra toppings and hungry size or starving size portions... thats quite cute right?

As usual, had linguine with 5 types of ingredients, IIRC its baby clams, ham, sausage, bell peppers, tomatoes and marinara sauce which contains sotongs n prawns... wah.... Plus parmesan chesse topping.... I just realised that my tomato based sauce is super oily!!! Just look at the sausage side dish... so much oil? tsk tsk...

Cirque Du Soleil

Walked over to Quidam after that... and had a look at the stuff they were selling.... It's very expensive... but prices are always like that aren't they? Programs were like $19, cd's for $35 and mugs for $19? Somewhere around that range.... Cool...

Trying to be funny here trying all the hats and masks... U can buy them u know! Waa.... look at the prices.... *faintz*

Went to watch Quidam today in the afternoon, My first time going although Cirque Du Soleil has come to Singapore before. Always wanted to go last time but either didn't have the money as I was a poor student last time or i didn't have the time. Now its different because I prepaid the ticket while I was still working and even though I'm now a poor student, I still get to go!

It was very very hot there... Well, its just like a super professional tentage set up in the middle of somewhere near Bugis Juntion... Alot alot of ppl went there to watch too...

My views on the show :

I found it intriguing, amazing, exciting... Its a new experience and an experience well gained... If they come to Singapore again doing other shows, I'll definitely go back... *standing applause*

QUIDAM

Quidam: a nameless passer-by, a solitary figure lingering on a street corner, a person rushing past. It could be anyone, anybody. Someone coming, going, living in our anonymous society. A member of the crowd, one of the silent majority. The one who cries out, sings and dreams within us all. This is the "quidam" that Cirque du Soleil is celebrating. A young girl fumes; she has already seen everything there is to see, and her world has lost all meaning. Her anger shatters her little world, and she finds herself in the universe of Quidam. She is joined by a joyful companion as well as another character, more mysterious, who will attempt to seduce her with the marvelous, the unsettling, and the terrifying.

:: Mood Analysis ::

Colorgenics Mood Analysis

You have always longed for tenderness, love and a sensitivity of feeling into which you would like to blend. You are a very gentle warm person and responsive to 'All things bright and beautiful'. This personifies a caring person, a person who 'needs' and indeed 'needs to be needed'.

The way things are you are under considerable stress and you feel that there is little hope of matters righting themselves. Everyone about you seems to aggravate the problem even more. You feel that at this time you need to be alone and you are right - move back and give yourself a chance to breathe.

You are a perfectionist in everything that you put your hand to. You are demanding and very exacting in the standards you apply to your choice of colleagues and friends -perhaps you demand too much from people. That perfection you seek in a particular person is illusive - perhaps it does not even exist.

You are feeling helpless. The fact that you are unable to control events that are going on around you is subjecting you to considerable stress. This can, if not relieved, cause muscle spasms or hypertension. It would seem that you are, for whatever the reason, being subjected to intolerable pressures. The complete environment would appear to be hostile. It would also seem that you are being driven against your will. You feel - and perhaps quite rightly so - that unreasonable demands are made of you but more to the point you feel as if you are powerless to control the situation or protect yourself in any way. At this time you feel utterly helpless.

The tensions and stresses that you have experienced of late have been the result of trying to cope with conditions which are really beyond your capabilities. You feel completely inadequate to cope with the situation and you would like nothing better to escape from it all and to be able to relax in a problem and pressure free environment where you can do your thing.

It's not all totally accurate but since it is a mood analysis, maybe it depicts my current feelings that I am unaware of?

Oh well... going to school to study for the damned 40% macroeconomics 2 test liaoz... sighz..

:: How I am In Love... ::

How You Are In Love

You fall in love quickly and easily. And very often. You give and take equally in relationships. You tend to get very attached when you're with someone. You want to see your love all the time. You love your partner unconditionally and don't try to make them change. You stay in love for a long time, even if you aren't loved back. When you fall, you fall hard.

I think this is relatively true for me.
Try and and tell me what you think...

:: Bull shit & Butt Kissing ::

What does a person mean when he says that he is giving more than 100 per cent?

Here's a little mathematical formula that might help you answer the question:

If A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z is represented by this:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26

Then, K-N-O-W-L-E-D-G-E is
11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5= 96 per cent

and H-A-R-D-W-O-R-K is
8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11= 98 per cent

and A-T-T-I-T-U-D-E is
1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5= 100 per cent

But B-U-L-L-S-H-I-T is
2+21+12+12+19+8+9+20= 103 per cent

And look how far butt kissing will take you.

B-U-T-T-K-I-S-S-I-N-G
2+21+20+20+11+9+19+19+9+14+7 = 151 per cent

So, one can conclude with mathematical certainty that while hard work and knowledge will get you close, and attitude will get you there, it's the bullshit and butt kissing that will put you over the top.

:: sat brunch ::

woke up sort of late... so much for intending to go for boxercise... sighz... I ruin my dieting plans again... I was meeting Rachel for brunch and i had a craving for fish n chips and so decided to have brunch at billy bombers...

Yes, i couldn't finish my food again... Not the first time, i think every single time I ate at billy bombers, i have food leftover! Its not that its not nice or what, their portions are huge!!! I had 3 pieces for fish with a mountain of chunky fries... plus huge scoop of coleslaw with i hardly touched... In the end, had to give up a piece of fish and lots of fries cos my tummy told me that its full... so sad... Rachel ask me just to eat the fish alone and leave the fries but i was too full to even finish the fish...

We left to go to school and something bad happened!!! Super bad luck thing... Got car kiss rachel's car backside... and the person still so rude and irritating! I was so pissed off the entire day just thinking abt that rude woman trying to shift the blame to us for everything. She think wat? See 2 young girls can bully izzit! U just wait! We know that we weren't in the wrong at all, who ask you to tailgate us! Still blame us say we can't drive and we scratch the car ourselves. If you are not guilty, then why u keep on stammering and shaking? Too scared izzit?

:: Knowing myself... ::

Get to know yourself better

Your view on yourself:
You are down-to-earth and people like you because you are so straightforward. You are an efficient problem solver because you will listen to both sides of an argument before making a decision that usually appeals to both parties.

The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:
You like serious, smart and determined people. You don't judge a book by its cover, so good-looking people aren't necessarily your style. This makes you an attractive person in many people's eyes.

Your readiness to commit to a relationship:
You are ready to commit as soon as you meet the right person. And you believe you will pretty much know as soon as you might that person.

The seriousness of your love:
You like to flirt and behave seductively. The opposite sex finds this very attractive, and that's why you'll always have admirers hanging off your arms. But how serious are you about choosing someone to be in a relationship with?

Your views on education:
Education is very important in life. You want to study hard and learn as much as you can.

The right job for you:
You're a practical person and will choose a secure job with a steady income. Knowing what you like to do is important. Find a regular job doing just that and you'll be set for life.

How do you view success:
You are confident that you will be successful in your chosen career and nothing will stop you from trying.

What are you most afraid of:
You are afraid of having no one to rely on in times of trouble. You don't ever want to be unable to take care of yourself. Independence is important to you.

Who is your true self:
You are full of energy and confidence. You are unpredictable, with moods changing as quickly as an ocean. You might occasionally be calm and still, but never for long.

The Real You

Here is the analysis:

You are a very serious person. You tend to be quiet and well behaved, and you don't have a great deal of self-confidence. You prefer to be alone rather than with friends and that could make you a little less interesting to certain types of guys. You are very attractive in an individual kind of way, and this means it can take people a little while to get to like you.
You really care about other people's feelings and are quite serious about the issues that affect your life. You are sincere, and your concern for the well-being of others makes many people want to be your friend.

You strictly follow rules, and you expect other people to be the same as well. People can get tired of you easily, as you can make them feel a little guilty about themselves. You always make decisions on your own, and can be dismissive of other people's advice. You like to be the leader in groups, but can forget to be concerned about the people you are with.

Your peers think of you as a fun person, but sometimes you can be a little irresponsible. You can be somewhat childish, and can try to ignore the fact that you will one day need to really grow up and be a mature adult! Perhaps you could start reading good books; they might help you look at the world in a different light. You do want to be taken seriously, right?

Your boyfriend thinks that you are a real doll but this is not a totally positive thing. Sometimes you can be a bit too sweet, and come across as being helpless. If you're like this too frequently, your boyfriend and other people are likely to get tired of you having to rely on them all the time.

What's your personality love style?

Here is the analysis:
You desire a love that will last forever. You are quite serious about finding this type of love, and that's why you think carefully about the men that you meet before deciding whether you could really love them. You don't just develop a crush on someone overnight: you look at a person's personality and other aspects of their life before deciding to form an attachment. If a guy doesn't meet your expectations, you would rather be alone. Your love has to be perfect. Be careful though, you could be missing out on some worthy relationships because your standards are so high.

What type of personality do you have?

Here is the analysis:
Kind and Gentle
Your kindness is your charm - you are also gentle and sweet. Everybody likes to be around people with your personality. Like a psychologist, people like to talk to you to discuss their problems because you are proper and discrete, as well as confident. You look mature and people respect you. People with this kind of character are few and far between.

:: MIdweek laze... ::

My black pepper chicken set and christine's ban mian for lunch today...

Met Christine for lunch today as her class ended quite early today. Actually we wanted to go and eat Sakae Sushi @ Heeren and we did walk all the way there. It was 3pm and the outlet was not crowded and we requested for a booth seat. The waitress told us that the table was reserved from 4pm. Fine... what abt the other tables? Oh, those are long tables for 6-8 persons. Hmmm... u mean we can't sit there meh? Or u can't shift the group that reserved the seat to the long table? Haiz, then we decided that we didn't want to eat there as the staff attitude was damn bad. After we said forget it since no seat, the waitress just said okay... No apology no nothing! They just lost a customer... I've got a bad impression of the Heeren Branch now...

In the end we went to cineleisure food court to eat our late lunch... Sat there for quite some time chatting... Then decided to go have coffee and continue our chit-chat session at TCC@ Cineleisure.

Our afternoon tea... The tiramisu look so pretty right? Their cocoa powder free one... There was a super super thick layer on top of the tiramisu... Overkill man...

I also had an Irish Coffee Frappe and Christine had an Ultimate Hazelnut Frappe... My coffee was freaking expensive cos it had Baileys inside. But of course i was freaking happy to drink alcoholic coffee... I am a die hard Baileys fan... I love the drink on the rocks, in coffee and as ice cream. It's just so creamy and lovely! *slurpz*

Guess wat we ate for dinner... Sakae Sushi...But not at Heeren, we ate it @Wheelock place.... It was definitely a much better experience and the managers were so much more customer oriented and friendly. Heeren needs to learn from Wheelock. I always liked Wheelock so much better in terms of the standard of food and service. We all ate so much... Total bill was almost $60... whahaha... time to dig into piggy bank... :)

Everything seems normal right?
No lorz... Due to some confusion or blurness, we only went to the departure hall 5 mins before the gates closed. Nevermind that the gates closed, we went to the wrong gate first and by the time we realised this mistake, the correct gate was closed... Oh NO... We missed our flight!
Quickly went to transfer B if im not wrong, this is where u change yr flight details or catch a next flight... The uncle who attended to us was quite pissed off that he was sort of scolding us but yet he still helped us.... Really grateful la... although he still say us... I think he just can't believe how we can miss our flight... actually i also cant believe that we missed the flight lorz... luckily there was a flight to Narita with transit at bangkok... Normally that flight goes directly to Japan with no stopover at all. He offered us that flight but of course without our luggage cos dunno where our luggage go already... sob sob... by the time we got the new boarding pass, we had to run all the way to the gate cos it was going to close soon also... Guess what, in the end the gate that we eventually went to was the one that we intially went to... xianz...
Luckily we flew SIA, and he also waived the no show fee for us... $150 leh... If it was a budget airline and we missed the flight, i think we got to buy a new air ticket...

Finally got our Flight

Finally got on the plane, a nice big big plane... we sat at the aisle seat, even though the lady asked us whether we wanted the window seat, we already too paiseh to request that so we said anything. We were served supper on the plane which was not bad, quite impressed even though it was such a short flight.
Touched down at bangkok quite late, we still had to tell the bangkok side that we need to request for our luggage cos dunno where our luggage fly to already. One of the really lucky thing is that they told us they will send the luggage to the hotel and need not come back to the airport to collect.
We discovered a 7-11 at the airport and was really happy cos we had no luggage ma, got to buy toothbrush, toothpaste, shampoo, soap, facial wash everything there ma. Before even leaving the airport, we spend about 200thb liaoz... got to the hotel by taxi which was 300thb. so tired liaoz... but happy to reach the hotel safe and sound.

Reached the Hotel

Another turn of events, because the hotel was fully booked, we got a free upgrade to a deluxe room which was really quite nice.
Second turn of events, there were bath robes in the hotel bathroom! Delighted cos no need to sleep in t shirt and jeans.... haha... went to sleep in preparation for shopping the next day.

Day One of Shopping



Breakfast @ the hotel...






Woke up rather early the next morning, after dilly-dally the whole morning, we went down to the cafe to eat breakfast. It was quite okay, they had usual buffet breakfast items like juices, toast, fried rice, sausages, bacon, eggs, fruits, salad...
Oh, the airport also called to say that our luggage will arrive in Bangkok in the morning and will be sent to the hotel. Yippie! I can't wait to see my luggage again.
First stop, we went to MBK by tuk tuk, of cos midway he asked us to see some jewelry factory so he can get free gas, Since it was still quite early and MBK wasn't really opened yet, we obliged to do him a favour. MBK was big!
we walked around to explore, and also walked to hard rock cafe to buy some t-shirts. Had a hard time looking for it cos we kept on walking past it and missing it. That area was quite nice, alot of trendy looking shops and the area was really bustling. In the end we found HRC cos we asked a passerby. This passerby was really really pretty! But the voice.... hmm... a guys voice... but i was really amazed cos she was really pretty! even up to now i still cant believe it... so impressed! Got our HRC loot and we went off the take a BTS skytrain to Mo Chit. That's were Chatuchak Weekend Market was... the market is so so huge... we keep on walking and walking... everywhere looks similar... Dyc still say the market not very big, the min he said that, we got kind of lost and ended up walking through stretches we hadn't been to. But its ok la, we managed to find some nice accessories there. It was nearing 6pm and we were tired, wanted to go back to MBK to eat dinner. So we walk walk trying to find the exit, suddenly got an announcement in thai, i was thinking maybe its national anthem, dyc also thought so, then they really broadcast the national anthem and everyone just stopped in their steps to stand in attention. We did so too... Interesting experience.
Took the skytrain back to MBK for dinner...




















Zen Japanese Restaurant @ MBK


Day Two of Shopping

2nd day, we walked around to explore, walked around pratunam and even found ourselves at pantip plaza... the so called sim lim square of bangkok... There's an A&W there and i got to drink the root beer float.. so happie...


2 big mugs of Root Beer and curly fries!






In the end it started to rain and we found ourselves in a cab to MBK again... haha... We also walked from MBK to Siam Discovery Centre and Isetan... walked alot... bought more stuff... so happy... Got levi's at Isetan there, but we decided to re-evaluate our expenses before deciding on whether to buy levi's or not. It's really cheap there, so if wan to go bangkok can buy levis and also undergarments!
Had a mid-evening rest at a cafe at Zen shopping, its called Black Canyon Coffee... Not bad... and very cheap too...











Not bad coffee and dyc's fav food, Pahd Thai...


Hop on the cab back to hotel cos tired after whole day of shopping again... After unpacking our loot, resting, went to Patpong to look at the nightlife there. The night market was also quite fun, and can bargain... haha... i saw many nice lantern style lamps... so nice... wanted to buy... but must resist... haha.... went back to hotel to zzz after that... still got 1 more day of shopping to go.

Last Day in Bangkok, Going back to Singapore

Last day in bkk, woke up early and ate breakfast, collected our luggage and took the hotel limo to the airport. We didnt want to risk taking a taxi cos we saw there was a jam outside the hotel and we also dowan to try to take taxi, so just spend the money to take the limo to airport.
Checked in real early, our luggage was check in and was 5kg heavier each than what we originally checked in. plus 7kg of hand luggage... haha.... no wonder we were broke, spend too much le... nothing to do at the airport leh... walked around the duty free also no money to spend... haha... went to sit at the boarding gate. We will not miss the flight again...
