I LOVE MY NEW BLOGSKIN!!!!
dunno why leh, looking at my blog makes me feel light and airy... like the minimalist white background and everything so neat...
there are some things i want to do in the next 2 weeks:
1. Go prawn fishing again!!!!
2. Finally get my fat ass back to gym.
3. Do a pedicure, the current one looks like it went thru a marathon....
4. Do more facials at home with all those peel off masks i bought.
**********************************************************
I brought Kelvin to Cat's and my fav restaurant last evening. a quaint little Jap restaurant in Far East Plaza. it looks cramped, barely fitting 20 people and people have to go in, sit down, makan, pay and leave. no place for chit chat, as the patrons have to sit facing the sushi counter and eat.
Strictly eat and pay and jalan. want to chat? chat during your meal please. and dun eat slowly (although i very much want to slooooooooowly savour each piece of tasty fatty salmon.)
I had a tempura set (not bad, but i prefer grilled salmon more), while kelvin has the beef teriyaki set (not bad also, not for garlic-haters), but the best thing next to the fresh sashimi is what you know?
The Chawanmushii!!!!!!!!
Super goooooooood!!!!!!!!!
Creamy and light and the same time, with small jap mushroom, jap vermicelli(spell like that anot huh?) and a prawn.
the steamed egg dish is 'xian zhuo xian mai', meaning you order liao then the chef start steaming! how fresh is that??? I'm drooling liao....
$5.00 per serving might sounds exp, but i relished every spoonful... Yummy.....
the place is operated by a hubby-wife team. hubby is chef... wifey is server/busser/dishwasher/hostess( as in the person who greet you lar, not the night club type lar).
Hubby is a i-dun-smile-i-smile-means-tonight-you-will-strike-4D-ask-me-to-smile-i-will-throw-my-ginsu-knife-at-you kinda person. best to avoid him.
Wifey aka lady boss is also the buay chio type, probably too busy liao lar....
Must go there again!!!! Simply cannot get enuff of the food.
Cat, next week ok????

at the office, see bei sianz, what else is new anyway?
A friend of mine recently ended a long term friendship(?) with her friend, whom i regarded as a bloated screeching puffer fish since the day i met her.
The friendship was meant to end amicably on her side, but that ass friend actually blogged about it and made a whole hoo haa over it.
To cut the story short, i think the friendship ended on a really sour note.
Which makes me think, are all friendships all so easy to fail?
Ya lar, ya lar, I'm rambling again....

Happy New year everyone!! (I know abit late liao...)
Thought of starting a new year with a new blog skin, and i like this one alot, bright and cheery...
Been doing alot of things during the week i wasn't blogging, cos I had a one week CNY break.
Too many things to blog about suddenly, so i decided to write in point form:
:) Tried prawn fishing for the first time, and I'm hooked! I must admit you must be very lucky to catch alot of prawns, and it's abit of a yawn when you are waiting for the prawn to eat your bait, but hey, you can go with your fav friends and have a bit of a catching up session. I did, and I loved it.
:) Lincoln is making progress with his illness, we are taking away the sleeping pill (he needs it for relaxing his mind) gradually and so far so good!
:) Lincoln is also starting his therapy sessions at the hospital because his developments are abit slower than normal kids, but at least he din have worse illnesses on him.
:) Ate lot during CNY, who doesn't?
Ok, got to go liao, knocking off from work, will update soon!

Last day at work before the long CNY holiday, and work just kept piling up. All last minute need me to do, all see bei important, all die die must complete by today.
-_-
And I'm not joyful lor, kena my menses yesterday... See bei sianz!!!!! My cramps were so bad, I couldn't sleep well the whole night. I have to go to the toilet every 10-15mins to change, it was that bad!!!!
Arghhhhh!!!!!!
Just hope everything will be better come CNY day 1.
*Update*
Kelvin loved the bouquet i gave him!!! He asked me over the phone if i had delivered something to him. I acted innocent and said no. I went on to pretend that i was jealous and he bought my act. He was thinking someone might be playing a trick on him, but in the end, i told him the truth lar.
Happy V Day darling!!!

Yes, ordered and sent a bouquet to my darling.
No flowers in sight and still cost me a bomb!!!! But never mind lar, after i thought long and hard... It's my first time sending him a V Day gift in 6 years and i think he deserves this special little treat.
But my money.... -_-''' (heart breaking)
Ok lar, i guess it's money well spent if i get a bright smile from him. And I din leave my name in the bouquet card.. I just put it as," Your secret admirer.''
So if tonight i dun see him bringing the bouquet back, nor mention the bouquet to me, means he must have some other fling outside whom he thought was the sender!!!
*horror*
Let's see how it goes tonight....

to making my own way to work every morning, dragging myself out of bed at 7am.
I used to be chauffered to work by Kelvin, till one fine day he crashed his car into the back of a small lorry. Thank God he was Ok, but his car was wrecked.
So this coming new year, we would have to get by using public transport. Which may a challenge as we have a kid in tow and a heavy bag carrying his stuff.
And...
HAPPY V DAY TO EVERYONE I KNOW!!!
I'm not spending V day with Kelvin, and its not the first time liao anyway. Being in the F&B line takes you away from your spouse, so he has to work his ass off serving those who celebrate V day in his restaurant.
And i din buy any pressies for him either. Ditto for him. We just treat each other to a good meal a few weeks ago, (I treated him to Carnivore, he treated Soup Restaurant).
Should i order a bouquet to be sent to his restaurant?
Expensive leh!!! A normal bouquet costing $60 is now $90!!!!! Crazy!!!!!
I think not lar...

Kelvin knocked off early yesterday... once in a blue blue moon, and we went shopping for CNY goodies at Compass Point.
We bought:
- 1 carton of Green Tea
- Toilet rolls
- Vanish Power 02 (I adored this stuff. It's damn good!)
- 1 can of button mushrooms
- 1 carton of mandarin oranges.
- 500g of melon seeds
Hahha... by looking at the list the only thing that is linked to CNY is the carton of green tea, melon seeds and oranges.
kelvin was puzzled why i din wanna buy stuff like egg rolls and those what-u-have chinese munchies, but I dun like to eat such things, buy for what? Melon seeds are nice cos i like to munch them while watching TV, better than chips or chocs i think.
And we went to eat at Soup Restaurant. The food is always yummy and price is reasonable lar... so we dined there quite often.
in the end, we passed by DMK, and he bought me a pair of shoes! actually i wanted to go to the counter and pay, but he just walked over to the counter and paid for me!!!! I was so pleasantly surprised! Cos he seldom pay for my vanity items (shoes, makeup etc..)I thanked him and he just smiled. Made me feel like a xiao nu ren!! hahhaa.... Guys paying for the gal might be common to some people, but Kelvin seldom pay for me!!
Ya lar, he'll pay for dinner and other stuff, but not shoes or clothes!! Aiya, i'm just touched lar!
i'm wearing the shoes now, and seeing the shoes made me feel so fortunate! haha.. damn lame right? cos I'm easily bowled over a pair of shoes.

Every start of a new year, people will make resolutions to themselves... For me, i dun really make them... cos i dun see the point of making resolutions that i hardly keep... But this year, I plan to make a few, just to see if i could stick to them:
1. Speak proper English... so that my Lincoln can learn proper English from his mother. No more lar...leh...meh....
Difficulty Level: 5/5
2. Go to the gym more often.Flab is not fab. 'Nuff said.
Difficulty Level: 3/5
3. Save more money. I bought a savings plan from POSB. Small to start, but it's still a step to saving ok!!!
Difficulty Level: 4/5
4. Find ways to earn more money? Means finding another job??
Difficulty Level: 5/5
5. Take care of my skin more. Do i need to start using anti-aging skin care? i read in a magazine recently that women should start using anti aging skincare between 25-27 years old. I'm 25 this year, so must start now? Where to find anti aging skin for oily skin? I've heard that oily skin people tend to look younger and have less risks for wrinkles and fine lines, cos their skin is much more active than dry skins.
Difficulty Level: 2/5

There are times in life i that often wondered about my existence. I wondered if life being as it is now is really my destiny.
When I was younger, in my secondary school days, I never thought i would get married at 24 and have a kid to boot. Things were simple then, and you din need a rocket scientist to tell you that your top priorities were to study well and secure a good fututre ahead.
I did none of that. I was a stupid delinquent.
I guess things started looking up when I left my undesirable circle of friends and decide to start life anew. That was when i first met Kelvin, whom 6 years down the road, is still the brightest spark of my life. (Ok, so he lost the title to my little prince Lincoln who reigned from 12th June '06. But hey, my love is still there. : P)
My point is, don't you ever wonder sometimes that hey, my life could be better if i hadn't done this or that?
I wonder all the time...

Dear Isabelle,
i know you have been feeling under par ever since you got married. you know jolly well that deep deep down in your heart you actually rushed into the situation you are right now. The first wrong step starts from agreeing to get married before 2006, just because of some unfounded superstition. let's not go into detail ok? No point really, it's already over.
I know at first you hesitated... you only wanted to get ROM, but sigh... i think love led you to overlook certain blind spots, and you blur blur went along.... then after marriage you missed home... and you frequently went back to your mom's place to stay, and by doing that, you incurred the wrath of your inlaws... Trouble follows, and your image in your inlaws eyes is forever tarnished. Both you and I don't know what went wrong, but the whole ordeal is one rough patch you have to go thru, eh?
Life after this is certainly not smooth sailing.... I totally empathized with you.. sometimes life's a bitch you know... but you must understand, what doesn't kill you will only make you stronger... you must live by this motto... you are lucky you have family who are willing to adapt to your forced changes. They love you so much, you are one lucky gal.
Then Lincoln came along. He's such a wonderful gift from God, you can't deny that. He is the most beautiful person we ever laid eyes on, and we were so grateful, weren't we? of course, we had really bad quarrels regarding naming him and all that. During those times, no one can see your anger nor your tears. I understand how you felt, because i felt your deepest sorrows, your helplessness and your broken soul. I felt it all within me, but yet we cannot do much, cos retaliating will only cause more repurcussions of hate and anger.
And when you thought the worst is over, God dealt you another blow. Lincoln is sick, first time when he was born, and now, being diagnosed with infantile spasms. And to think we assumed Lincoln was out of danger already , when infact, there's another dangerous path waiting for him down his life's journey.
But hey, cheer up gal. At least God was graceful enough to give him only this. It can be controlled and not seriously life-threatening. He is safe now for the time being...
I know you have been saddled with alot of thoughts lately. Is there really no one you can talk to?
I understand Kelvin has been really busy lately, i can see you are drifting apart. I can also see you are making an effort to mend the drift. I saw you making pasta late at night to wait for him to come back and eat, I saw you preparing stews for him... I saw everything. but is it working? Not really?
Poor soul.
you have not been sleeping well lately too. Work is stressing you huh? But stress from work is still bearable... i think you have been neglected by Kelvin. you used to spend all your time together, but now its only living under the same roof. That's what you think as well? I know u are trying to convince yourself that he has to work, and you have to tolerate that. Try harder ok?
You have been looking forward to buying a new house huh? Some place you can really call your own. It's a dream you have been dying to fulfil right? Especially when kelvin always casually mention to you that certain areas in AMK are worth taking a look. Whenever the 2 of you drive past AMK, he will point to a certain block, and say "This is a nice place.'' That kind of comments always gets you on a high hope huh?
But kelvin told you recently that maybe you have to put off the purchase of a new flat. Reason being that Lincoln is ill, and you never know if you needed extra cash... I know i know, you agree to this statement, but you just couldn't keep your disappointment to yourself huh? I know it is hard to postpone such a dream, but you know deep down it is for the best. Let it go gal... we live in the real world. No money, no talk.
you have to pick yourself up. Cos no one will be lending you a hand. stop being a coward and really pull up your socks. find a chance to talk to kelvin if you can. After all, he is your partner for life....
Dun forget, you still have family who loves you for who you are. i will talk to you again... take care.
Love and kisses + A dose of support
Your inner voice.

1. Kelvin has an uncle who is dying of cancer. The doc told he has less than 8 months to live... his wife cried buckets and buckets.... she is obviously upset lar... but to shorten my view... is that imagine your loved one has less than 1 year of life... you would either:
a) try your best to find the best cure for him? (although you know the chances are damn slim liao... but you try your best to delay his last moments)
b) try to accompany him to do his fave things... maybe go travelling... or maybe jsut accompany him to do whatever he wants.
c) play mahjong while he sleeps on the living room.
I dunno why, but i am damn disturbed when i saw his aunt playing mahjong with my in laws and his uncle lying on the living room sofa to sleep.
i mean, c'mon lar... your hubby is dying leh!!! and you are still playing mahjong??? you actually wasted one day of his remaining days playing mahjong????
-_-'''
I really cannot comprehend some people.
