Guess who's back from the land down under? Lolz, Kb!~

Met up with him as well as zy and wq for dinner and a movie at vivo city today. Kb came to pick me up from work in a cab first and when we reached vivo, we did a bit of shopping while trying to look for places to eat lol.

This is something he got for me at Fjord.

Here's what's special about it.

Lolz, it can flip! =D

Very pretty pendant but oh so heavy >.< It's made from stainless steel so it's no wonder. But I love it though! Thanks kb!~

After meeting zy and wq, we went for dinner at...

*Crystal Jade! We got our own room wor! o.O*

*Peking duck?!*

*Sharksfin soup?! Too much... *Faintz**

*A very torn apart fish? Lolz, don't look down on this fish okay! It's delicious! =D*

A few other dishes... And then...

*My dessert! Mango, sago, pomelo something. Lol~ Yummy!!!*

After dinner, we had to rush to get to the cinema because we were late! Lol...

Eragon at GV Gold Class! Woohooo! Has anyone been into Gold Class? The seats... Are such a luxury I could sleep there! And the movie was great too! But damn! Why got part 2?! >.<

I felt that the story might have moved a tad too fast, The tension could have used a little more building up but overall, a 7.5 out of 10. Go watch it!~

Great food, great seats and great movie, what more could anyone ask for? Lol~ A big thanks to kb for everything. =P

Lolz, so many pictures this time. I'm getting photocrazed le... I need my T55/T10! Anyone wanna sponsor? Hehehe...

If only I knew what to do...

Ahhh!~ Did you know I've been so into dresses lately that I seem to buy one everytime I go shopping? I got this two weeks ago I think, and I just wish I had a chance to wear it out!

Hoho~ Got another dress a few days before this one but my digi cam died on me and my lousy hp cannot capture the detail of that dress so maybe another day if I ever get to wear it out. I just put this up because I saw it in my images folder and just fell in love with it all over again lol!

And just for the fun of it, here's a much (??) anticipated photo of strawberry!

And another!

She's getting faaaaat! I think mummy and I have both been feeding her at the same time! o.O

Oh! And I know I'm supposed to blog about my Genting-KL trip last week but been busy! I'll get around to it soon lol... More dresses please!~

Dreaming, of good to come.

Some people never learn,
Why the sad cry and river dries.
Some people never learn,
Why emptiness is but a sign of rejection.

Some people never learn,
That the past cannot rewind.
And when it comes to regret,
There is no cure but time.

Some people never learn,
To not take things for granted.
For when it disappears,
No cries can wish it back.

Some people never learn,
That everything has a reason.
And when there's only silence left,
Some people still don't learn.

Bite me.

Guess what somebody got me for a birthday present? It came later then most but.... It's what I've wanted for a long time! I have a hamster!~ Thanks to freddy for taking the effort to celebrate my birthday with me yesterday also even if it was a little later lol.

The dwarf hamster is a cute little thing which is so docile unlike most I've seen in past. (It doesn't bite when first accounted lol!) And it loves to run in the wheel! Heee... So cute...

I haven't figure out a name for it (it's a she) but I was thinking... Strawberry? LOL. I think I shall stick to that until I find another name.

Anyway, after letting Strawberry adapt to her new home, we went to east coast for a (very) late dinner and then he surprised me with a cake!

Omg! Fourth one! Ahhh! This year's birthday is great! Lol!~ ^^

Although somewhat messy with all those humongous ants (eeks!) we handled okay haha...

Strawberry's sleeping now so I can't take pics of her to put up but I'll do it soon! Haha.. In a good mood now... Hope to get some stuff for her later. =D

Something's going on...

Celebrated my birthday yesterday with 3 cakes! It was really a pleasant surprise especially when one of the cakes was delivered to my place. (Thanks jameson~)

I still recall being not so pleasantly surprised when I first received the cake because the name of sender stated on the invoice was a "James" and I did not know any! Yet that person knew my birthday, handphone number and *gasp* address!

Only much later at night was it revealed that jameson was the one who had sent the cake and gotten my address from my elder sister. Made me think so hard for so long lol... I nearly thought I must have somehow forgotten some important james and felt so guilty! >.<

Must really complain about the shop ar... Sender's name also can write wrong.. Tsk tsk... But the cake was really pretty and tasted good too as declared by my younger sister haha.

Anyway, I spend the first half of the day lazing in bed (somewhat) while the start of a flu bothered me. Went to work in the afternoon and then went for dinner with a few of my collegues. They got me a cheesecake from Goodwood Hotel! Very pretty cake woor...

Sadly, the restaurant we went to, "NYDC" did not allowed the consumption of outside food so we had to make do with just singing the birthday song and pretending to cut the cake. (No eating!) Lolz, my collegues were all so shy about singing the song. =.=||

But thank you Jolynn, Jeffry and Poh!~ I had lots of fun hehe~ And Pooh... You owe me dinner lol! =P

After dinner, I reached home at around 11pm where my family proceeded to celebrate with me too. (Sorry I was so late =X) Haha, I got to make 3 wishes! =D I know that's playing cheat but... Who cares! =P

Here's a picture of the 3 cakes~

 Haha very nice looking hor? Doesn't it make you hungry? Lol.. 1st one is from The Patissier (Jameson), 2nd is from Bengawang Solo~(the family) and the last one is from Goodwood Hotel (collegues).

What disappoints me is that I currently have the flu and can't taste a thing to save my life! >.< So I kinda wasted the 3 slices of cake but I'm waiting to get better so I can eat them soon! Hope they don't spoil before I'm well. =X

=====

Anyway I got chased home from work today because of my terrible flu. I was sneezing and coughing all over the place lol, must have scared many of the engineers haha~

Saw a doctor who gave me 2 days mc but the aunty at the office wants me to go back tomorrow because she will be on leave both tomorrow and friday! >.< Why like that one...

But I'll see how I guess.. I feel bad for my collegue who has to handle the work everytime I'm sick (Which seems to be alot!) and so if I feel better tomorrow I guess I'll go.

I still have many things to say but I think I'll stop for now..

=====

It hurts to know you nearly hit me.

Seems like the heavens above do not want me to go cycling. Today was the N-thed time that something happened to prevent it from happening. Today's special obstacle was... Rain. Damn it.

Was supposed to go cycling with gary, ian and melvin but in the end, we went KTV instead, supposingly to celebrate my birthday.

But I had a sore throat (and still do) and ended up singing horribly until I got so annoyed with myself I ejected all my favourite songs in favor of new songs of which I did not really know to lyrics to. Lolz, at least I've never heard myself sing them and so was not as annoyed.  

Gary left just before KTV ended (how could you...) and the remainding 3 of us went for dinner at The Manhattan Fish Market at PS. But I have to say, the food is waaaay below standard already. Guess I can no longer go there anymore.

After a huge dinner with lots of quick chomping (Hey, I'm eating with 2 guys, if I don't chomp, there'll be nothing left to chomp on! Lol!) we headed to TCC downstairs for dessert (yes we are pigs =P). At least TCC's standard is maintaining...

Anyway, overall the day was fun. But I still want to go cycling! *Grrr...*

Thanks for the company though guys! =D

=====

Selfishly... Denied...

Haha I just redid my kissing purity test and it seems my results are still the same.

Also did a new test on how good a kisser am I, and what do you know.. Lol... But only people whom I've kissed before would know the truth wouldn't they? =P

Went to collect some loots yesterday from Snow (thanks again girl!) and had dinner with some of SLS girls.

After dinner we shopped alittle(??) lol, and I got myself a top from U2 as well as a really pretty dress of which its picture I'll post up when I collect it; the last one was only available at another outlet so I had it reserved for me hehe.  

I just couldn't resist! But don't know when I can wear it considering I never go out to special places anymore... Hm... Wonder if I should wear it next tuesday? ^^

Anyway, will be heading down to bugis to meet the girls for a steamboat pig out session. Not much of an appetite now though... Hope it'll get better later... Something's been on my mind these days sigh...

Passion or delusion? Which works?

It seems so hard for some people to understand, that not everybody in this world is rich. To them, to be "poor" means you can at least afford a university education, drive a basic toyota and live in a 4 room flat.

Someone asked me if I was planning on getting a degree and I told that person that yes, I was, but in a few years time because I did not have the money now.

He/She asked if my parents were not going to pay for me? To which I replied that not everybody is rich. He/She actually said that he/she was not rich too. 

That person then asked me why didn't I borrow a study loan from the bank first, because isn't that what most people are doing nowadays? To which I replied that I still had to eat when I was studying didn't I?

One thing to note for people who don't know, is that the bank will only loan you 80% of your school fees which mean that you will have to come up with the remaining 20% as well as your other daily expenses.

He/She then asked the ultimate question, why didn't I just borrow from my parents then? Just pay them back once I come out to work, isn't that easier?

This is really the most ridiculous question I keep hearing from people who have just asked the above questions.

Did I not just say that not everybody is rich? If it were that easy, why wouldn't my parents just pay for me first? If it were that easy, wouldn't I already be studying now?

Not everybody is rich enough to go to U, and what annoys me to no end is how some people can so niavely think that it is possible.

So, I am not rich, is that a crime? It is really insensitive for people to ask such questions.

For people who might have done the same thing before or who might just ask the same questions in the near future, think again before doing it okay? If someone says they don't have the money at the moment, use your brain and not push the situation. Let the matter rest unless you think you have the money to help your friend.

Now that has really spoilt what's left of my day.

Jeez!

=====

Pushing limits, such impudence.

Today is a saturday, and I am currently sitting in my office chair, chomping on rather hard nasi lemak rice as I type this.

Yes, I am doing OT.

And no, I doubt you'd like to hear about my rants regarding work lately.

Therefore, there isn't much for me to say, because all I am full of lately, is complains about work and I'm not much fun anymore.

Save me.

++++

I do have one good thing to mention though, and that is that when my sis came back from LA a couple of days ago, she got me the perfume I've been wanting that you can see in the left corner of my blog.

Yes! Innocent Secret by Thierry Mugler! Exclusively from Victoria Secrets and only available in all places non-asia. I am a happy girl. ^^

A hundred bucks poorer but well worth the price. Yeah!~

++++

Oh and before I forget, The Covenant (pronounced Cor-Ver-Nan-T thank you, not co-vae-nen-t or cove-nant please.) is not really a nice show.

Handsome casting I must say because Caleb is oh so yummy, and good if not great acting, but terrible pacing and lousy special effects.

The show looked great at the beginning but probably due to lack of time, the storyline moved far to quickly and the story kind of got lost and weak. And what was with all that air shooting?!

Sigh... Not much of an ending too because I can't tell if there will be a part two. Hm... A 5 out of 10; watch it only if you like eye candy (for both male and females, lol.)

DOA and Death Note are much nicer in my opinion. =X

++++

Oh, carol just smsed me that the shoes from their latest spree are in already.

Yipee! 2 more pairs of shoes to wear! Will be getting them from her tonight, hope they look as great as they do on the webbie. =D

Pretty? ^^

Alright now... Done with my lunch already and back to work for me.

And will someone please just stop ringing the bell?!

=====

Broken glass my dear, they're never whole again.

Today was not a very good day for me. One would have thought that yesterday would have been the bad day considering it was, afterall, friday the 13th, but today the 14th, suppositely a lucky number for me (pardon all that superstitions) was worst.

I was supposed to meet a friend for lunch today but he stood me up. Yes, laugh, because natalie got stood up. And you don't have to hide it too, because I know you enjoy laughing at me. Makes me wonder if some people come to my blog just to laugh at my misery, but that is another story.

Normal people have their lunches at say, 12 or 1pm? Or if later, at 2 or 3pm? 3pm would be considered the latest already considering dinner is at 6pm. This friend of mine did not bother to tell me he would be late. He did not even bother to give me any notice of what time he was coming. I waited until 330 before I realised how stupid it was. And if you thought I did not call, I did. But there was no answer. Nor a call back.

You know what actually hurts more then angers me? It's the fact that just the night before he knew that I was having gastric problems again and yet he did not give two hoots about how not eating aggravated my gastric problem when he was the one to ask me to lunch.

And yes, in case you want to laugh again, I had gastric pains today too, thanks to a certain someone.

This incident certainly reminded me of another missed appointment where the guy in question totally did not answer any calls or messages and only messaged me 3 days later to tell me that he had not dared to meet me that day because he was afraid he would fall for me again.

'Again' was because he was an ex whom I thought had become a good friend even after the break up 4 years ago. It seemed that all of a sudden, he just thought he might like me again. Are you kidding me?! What is there to like about me when it seems I piss everyone off?!

Well, in the end, even at 440pm there was no call or message from him, the lunching companion, (the nerves of that guy!) so I left for my grandma's place with my family. And that is sadly not the end of the day.

When we left my grandma's place later, my elder sister's boyfriend had come to pick her up to go for mango ice and suppositely, my younger sister was going along. Strangely I never heard anything about that. The minute I said I wanted to go too, my younger sister actually said, "If she go I don't want to go already."

This coming from the sister I pampered so much.

Would anyone understand that feeling? It was as though I had been slapped across the face by her at least 3 times.

I really wonder if I am going wrong even at home when my own sister cannot even stand to go out with me because I know my social life sucks, but used to think family life was okay if not peaceful.

And even till now, not a word of apology from the missing lunch partner. Oh just give me a break already!

Don't fake concern when you don't even care that you caused my pain.
