Happy 2009!!
Yet another year has passed. Hahaha. I have neglected my blog to the ultimate. I'm guilty of it. However these days really no mood to blog. I feel unhappy about almost everything. I think I am having a mid-life crisis though I'm supposed to be "young". Haha. Maybe I will live up to the age of 40 only so that's why in my 20's I'm already having mid-life crisis?! Heh.
2009 comes with brand new hopes I guess, but it comes with 5 wedding dinners for this year. -_-
Discussing with the Gang about weddings yesterday, realised that keep going for wedding dinners are putting a strain in pockets! LoL~! My friend said that out of 10 already managed to push away 5. Still got to go for 5 which are at 5-star hotel. Ang pow at least a hundred bucks. Haha.
He's damn sad over this la... :P
Talking about it I better start my own wedding fund. Haha. As in wedding fund for ANG POWs. We are approaching the age whereby everyone is getting married...which means more ang pows, more dinners and er...more fats.
Anyway I have uploaded my pics in facebook, it's much faster than having to blog about it...I lost all interest in doing a photo-log because frankly, I cannot remember anything of what transpired.
I am wanting to go for a long holiday this year, but hey, I cannot choose, because I have a measly no. of days of leave only. :( So I gotta plan and use up the leave wisely. Heh. Anyway, it's worth going overseas this year because Air Tix are at all-time low. A ticket to London/Paris is only 1.2k!! That's super cheap if I may say. Much better than in the past whereby 1 air tix is around 2k without taxes. And forgot to mention, this is on SQ, which means you get shiok shiok Krisflyer to accompany you throughout the flight. LoL.
Well, I may be going Europe myself for business this year, still keeping my fingers crossed. If I do go, I shall go get myself an LV. Hahahahaha! To think in the past I always frowned upon LV, oh well...I realise certain LV stuff look actually quite nice la...
I have conquered Coach so maybe I shall conquer LV next. Haha. Then when I'm back I will be so bored of LV I will stop harbouring thoughts of buying anymore LV stuff. Hee.
Anyway it's really good to meet up with the Gang yesterday night, we had dinner at the 'tian tian huo guo' at Bugis, followed by Dessert at this Cheena-Looking place a few doors away. Nothing much to rave about steamboat, except that there were periodically mini cockroaches crawling out of the cooker, which I think could also be because they were driven out by the horrid heat of the fire.
But okay la, we cannot be bothered also, we just continue eating, and everytime a cockroach crawl out one of the guys will just press on it using a tissue and sweep it away. We still can continue eating nonchalantly. Haha! Amazing!!!
Anyway the steamboat is 16 nett, but they added 30 cents or towels. -_-! Talk about hidden costs!! Then I even asked for free drinks, which they obliged with 2 jugs. Not a lot but better than nothing. When we went for another jug we realised that it actually cost us 8 bucks. Aiyo. Should have just bargained for 4 jugs in the first place! Oh well!! But then also not bad la, the original price of the steamboat is already 18+, so to get at 16 bucks is considered a steal? I also dunno.
The nice part was the dessert!! Tried my friend's steam egg with coffee...really very nice. It's like a pudding with coffee taste. I like!! I had almond cream instead, because my throat was feeling sore from the tomyam so better eat something more soothing. Haha. But nevertheless I still woke up with sore throat today. No difference.
I realise that Bugis is actually quite happening at night! At 10+pm there were still people eating steamboat, milling around, looking for dessert (like us) and the coffeeshop was also full.
It almost makes me feel guilty for going home early. But cannot! I am nursing a bak jiam again, which has been there for the past week. Although it's not so bad, but I suspect it's the lack of sleep that caused me to have this bak jiam. Been treating it with my heat pack, because on the internet it says that putting a heat back on the bak jiam can increase blood circulation and get more white blood cells to attack it. I certainly hope so!!!Labels: my life
