Simply Divine


I didn't managed to cut my hair yesterday as my hair stylist was away. :( We went Cineleisure Suki Sushi for dinner. The food there was not fantastic, I prefer Sushi-tei or Sakae. The sides were not bad though, we ordered tako-yaki,temaki,fried toufu and a couple of other sides. The cha soba was soggy and sauce a little bland, far from what I had expected. The desert was good though, better when go along with some ice-cream!

I am going to the salon again tomorrow!

A hundred and one things

Having no goals at all for the last few years, all of a sudden I had a hundred and one things I wanted accomplished!

First of all my wisdom tooth, both upper and lower are giving me a lot of problems lately. I need to extract them as soon as I can!! The thought of it just freak me out. I extracted one this year, it wasn't painful however the process was pretty scary. They first give you anesthesia and later use a special tool to pull out your tooth. For my lower wisdom tooth which was not grown upright, they will do a minor surgery. They will slice open your gum,crack your tooth into pieces, take them out and sew the wound up. I will be booking an appointment with the dentist soon, hoping to extract my wisdom tooth by this month. Gulp.

Next I would like to learn driving! I haven't got my license and I am 24! I will be going down to the bbdc this month as well perhaps?

I wanted to go for early childhood education leadership course! Hopefully by this year or beginning next year, provided I am able to get my subsidy! I am considering taking degree as well.. tusk..tusk..

Lastly I am tired of wearing my glasses and contact lenses! I wanted to go for Lasik! My colleague just went not long ago and so far so good, am afraid of side effects in future. My sister actually went for surgery to put lenses in her eyes! She has very bad astigmatism and short-sightedness and not able to go for Lasik. She is really brave isn't she??

On top of that, I want to go traveling!

I really hope to get all these done in two to three years time. I hope.

I love PSP!


I just love my PSP! Had been playing with PSP for quite some now.. I enjoyed playing games,whether it's computer or PS or wii or DS or PSP I love them all! I found some really cool top rated games recently and I am currently playing with them now. They are Resistance: Retribution, LocoRoco 2,Prinny:Can I really be the hero?, Star Ocean: Second Evolution and Midnight:LA Remix.

I am in love with Prinny. It is so cute!! (O'_'O)

Oh ya I will be meeting Joanna tomorrow. We are going Orchard for shopping! I will be going to the salon as well, I need a new haircut badly!

I made Konnyaku Jelly!


I had cravings for jelly, thus I made Konnyaku Jelly! Sounds crazy right? It's not easy to make alright... If you like to have Konnyaku Jelly like mine you need some skills alright.. I went to the supermarket to get Konnyaku Jelly powder(Red Man) and canned fruits (longan and fruit cocktail)You can actually put in any fruits you like..no problem at all. Just follow the directions on the Konnyaku jelly powder to make the jelly. I like mine less sweet so I actually reduced the sugar to 180g instead of 210g and put in lesser water, 800ml instead of 950ml as I like it chewy. Don't bother about the Citric or Malic Acid, you just need to add in some canned fruit juice,about a 100ml and you get yummy Konnyaku Jelly like mine! :D

I actually made these for my bf the other time and he complained they were too soft! -_-"""
They looked really delicious right?? I bet he is drooling now.. :P

My Chagrin Valley soap is finally here!!



The Chagrin Valley soap I had ordered is finally here! My sister Elaine actually recommended and ordered the soap for me. :) She is currently using Chagrin Valley soap. The shower wash we currently use had too much chemicals that might actually cause cancer! Do you know we are exposed to 24 toxic chemicals each time we shower by using shampoo, conditioner and shower wash?

http://www.healthy-communications.com/8coschemicals.htm

Chagrin Valley soaps uses all natural ingredients. I am not being paranoid here however changing to a body wash which uses all natural ingredients might reduce chances of getting cancer perhaps? I had ordered a Herbal Mist for myself and another Honey & Oats shampoo for Bebe.My pooch has already got one. See the pictures? It comes with a labeled paper bag. The soap smelt really nice! Each soap costs about US$6.75.

The Longer I Hold On The More I Lose

The longer we hold on, the more we lose. It is really important to know when to let go of our attachments, and allow for a new birth. In any relationship, the more we hold on, the more we lose our attractiveness and, thus, become a burden to our partner. If we are willing to let go of everything we think should be, the relationship can reach a new level of partnership. We may have to let go totally, because if there is any possibility for the relationship to move forward, it will only do so through our willingness to let go..

Love Is Giving Everything While Holding On To Nothing

Love does not ask for security, love just asks to be able to love.
Nothing can stop our love. No matter if the person rejects us, or if they run away from us, they cannot stop us from loving them. Love asks for no guarantees. Love asks for no insurance. Love just wants to love, to give everything. In the love is a birthing, a fire that purifies. in the love is the greatness of being. In the love is all vision and purpose in life. The love that we give opens us to a new level of feeling, and a new level of joy.

Tampines 1



Went to Tampines 1 with Joanna yesterday. From our work place at Upper Jurong, all the way to Tampines! I know it's crazy.. We got there at about 7.30pm. Guess what was the first shop we went in? Uniqlo! I didn't get to look at the clothing the other time as it was closing when i got there. We went into the shop and found out most of the clothings had ran out of sizes or totally sold out.. :( They were all left with either size M or L and i wear a size S, so we didn't managed to get any stuff from there. We went for dinner instead as we were really hungry!! We had lunch at around 12pm! We decided to eat at Carl's Junior. When we got there,it was packed with people, there were totally no seats at all! The restaurant was really small. Piggy came to look for me as he was working nearby.. :D He couldn't sit down with us as there were no seats.. :( he said " I am going back to work" and then "bye" -_-""""""""""

We later went into Mitju and I bought a really cute pair of flats.. it is pink in colour with animal prints.. I love dogs! It has mainly cat prints and some dog prints.. cute isn't it? I really like it!

Joanna! Let's go to Tampines 1 again! I hope they have a Tampines 2! :D


Portabello mushroom burger with chilli beef fries. Yum!

Solar Storm on 22.06.2012



Omg.. I just saw this on the newspaper, Solar Storm going to hit earth on 22.06.2012. which means.. 3 more years!
Isn't this what exactly happened in the movie "Knowing" i just watched on Sunday?? Gosh I thought it wasn't for real! I hope it is not going to be real..however it seems that scientists are pretty confident of their forecast.. :(
Also, in the movie "Knowing", only people who can hear the calling survived. I wonder how true it is?

From what i found out, solar storm is actually geomagnetic storm. They are caused by solar wind shock wave which typically strikes the earth's magnetic field. Which means we will have no electricity!!

Pet Society



Now you can have a photo album for your pet at pet society!! :) I took quite a couple of pictures for my pet, Dior. Pictures of her sitting on a swing in the garden, playing with the guitar, eating, bathing in the jacuzzi and relaxing on the couch. Cute isn't it? You can check our more of my pet's photo at http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=73896&id=777728259&l=b0d1c90ac9
I just love looking at my pet's pictures, she looked really happy, of course she has such a great
owner like me!! :D



I am totally addicted to the game! What interest me was you can dress up and buy stuff for your pet. You can get rooms when you go up a couple of levels. There are 9 rooms altogether. I only have 6 rooms now!! I need more rooms! My room are fully packed with stuff. There will be new items in the stores on every Monday. Some items will be in shop for a week and others will always be there. I usually go for the weekly items as you can't purchase them again after that! The items they sell in the stores will be according to the festivals. When it is Valentine's or Christmas, you can get really cute stuff like teddies, roses, balloons, Christmas tree and more.

You don't earn coins easy though, you got to do visiting of other pets to earn coins. For the first 50 friends, you get 20 coins and subsequently you only
get 10 and 5 coins for visiting each friend. Guess what piggy said? He said I am wasting my time away and those are not real money! It actually make sense however it is really fun!! Those who are not playing pet society you gotta try it. :)


Do you know you can do trading at the forum? I actually got most of my stuff from the trading forum http://forum.playfish.com/forumdisplay.php?f=65
Have you ever tried buying hundreds of mystery boxes however not getting the items you wanted? Well, you can try trading at the forum! You might be able to find some great deals as well!

It's Monday again


Yes, It's Monday again! It has been two weeks since my trip to Thailand. I am still in my holiday mood! I want to go for another holiday soon!! Actually, not soon, I won't be going for another holiday till later part of the year! Gosh that is a long time! :( I gotta stop thinking about holiday..
Didn't managed to go Tampines 1 yesterday as me and piggy went downtown instead! We went to play pool and watch the movie, "Knowing" and me, not "Knowing" what it was went to watch the show. I haven't been to movie for donkey years, ok, not really donkey but for some time now..
The movie was pretty exciting, at the same time sending chills down your spine. I predicted that the kids were going to die in the end, but they didn't! They were the ones saved, duh..
I actually prefer comedy, romance, horror, animation or action movies. I don't really fancy thrillers or sci-fi. There's a horror movie Friday the 13th coming soon, it looks really scary just by looking at the advertisment. Who wants to watch it with me?? ^-^
Do you know there are 3 Friday the 13th this year? One was in Feb and March, there will be one more coming up in November!

Mickey . Tips for new dog

My sister's bf had a new puppy!He is so cute! He is Mickey, unsure of the age and breed as it was given to his brother by a friend. He came to our place to play with peanut yesterday. They had a lot of fun chasing as well barking at each other! He is cute, but really feisty! He actually went under our table to bark at peanut! He even took Peanut's bone, of course it made Peanut really mad! They were really funny. We gave Mickey some food as he has no food at home, just snacks. He had been eating snacks the whole time. He must be hungry, though he had some cesar before that. Even before he finished the food, we took his bowl away, afraid he might overeat. His tummy was really big after that! He was really active after eating and that is how the fight between Peanut and him started.

Some useful tips if you are having a dog for the first time:

  1. Bring it to the vet (Try Mount Pleasant at Sunset Way) for a check up once you get the dog, they need 3 vaccination for the first time and once yearly after that.
  2. Get a leash, harness, bowl, food, cage (optional, for puppies), toothbrush, toothpaste, bed, toys (Try http://www.doggyfriend.com/home/home.asp) They have a wide range of products for dogs at affordable price and free delivery for up to $60. Shampoo (http://www.chagrinvalleysoapandcraft.com). Chagrin Valley has shampoo for dogs. My dog is using Honey and Oats Dog shampoo right now.It is really good!
  3. Set up a toilet area with newspaper, for toilet training.
  4. Give your dog ample of fresh water at all times, in a bowl.
  5. Feed your puppy at least three times a day with dry food(soak in hot water to soften it) (Try Wellness, it is really good, my dog is eating it right now. Do not overfeed. Feed your dog with only dog food.
  6. Never give your dog grapes,rasins, chocolates, macadamia nuts,onions,garlic and more, check out website(http://www.petalia.com for more information on food that harm dogs.
  7. Give your dog bones(rawhide) if they are teething to avoid your shoes or furniture getting destroyed, they really enjoyed chewing on things at that stage.
  8. They need plenty of rest so avoid bringing your puppy for walks too often and they might get fleas too.
  9. Send your dog for grooming at least once a year for trimming of fur, nails and cleaning of teeth and ears.(You can try calling 62812271 for grooming services located at Serangoon, they will pick up your dog at your place and send your dog back home after grooming)
  10. Bathe your dog once a week, hair dry and comb your dog's fur if your dog has long fur.
  11. Bring your dog to the vet if your dog has signs of lost of appetite, unactiveness, diarrhea, nuasea or dry nose(they might be having a fever).You can bring your dog to the vet if your dog has fleas too.
  12. You can find out more about dogs from books or website http://dogs.about.com and other websites.
  13. You might want to try adopting a dog instead of buying one from the pet shop. There are thousands of dogs outside waiting for a home (http://www.spca.org.sg)
  14. Lastly love your dog and treat them well, please do not abandon or abuse them! They are really sweet! They love tummy rubs and cuddles.
Oops! You caught me stealing Peanut's bone!


Let's be friends Mickey!


Peanut.. as usual..


I better hide before Peanut sees me!


Is Peanut there?


He is not around! Hurray I can come out now!


Peanut is still around... sob..

Happy Easter


It's Easter Monday tomorrow, piggy doesn't need to work!! -_-"
m&m's Easter bunny mix aren't they pretty?
The light blue ones actually looked like green under my camera.
There is blue, green, pink,yellow and purple with really cute animal pictures on them! ^^
Oh yes, and tootsie fruit rolls, they pretty much taste like starburst fruit chews! Awesome.
Happy Easter!

Back to work

I am going back to work tomorrow!! It has been a good two weeks break for me. It's time for me to get back to work, although a little reluctant...
Staying away too long from work can make one lazy.Which is exactly how i am feeling right now!
Piggy is away in Malacca with his colleagues. I was at home for the past two days, sitting in front of my lappie for more then 12 hours a day. Great I found a new game to play with, poupee girl, which helps to kill some of my boredom, els I will be bored to death. Pet society is fun too, you dress up and purchase new furnitures and stuff for your pet. Don't say I am childish, the games are really cute and fun. I am sure the girls will agree with me ya?
My family said I am too engrossed in my lappie and games that I had became insane!!!?! They also said I am not responsive blah blah blah... my mother claimed that I don't talk to her at home! I am having my break right now so give me a break. I am going back to work tomorrow. I seriously can't multi-task. If you happen to see me watching tv, on the phone or in front of my lappie, please don't talk to me! This explains the not responsive part. As for not talking much, I talk 9 hours a day in school when I teach. So imagine that.

poupeegirl: Rin


poupeegirl fashion brand community


Was bored today and happened to find this game, poupeegirl, a japanese game. You create and dress up your girl.
You earn ribbons by posting photos of your favourite stuff or dress up your Poupee girl.
I have no idea how this game works, am still figuring out.
Here is a lastest photo of my poupeegirl dress in flora puff sleeve dress with short trench coat, headdress, high socks, pumps, rose ring, leopard bucket hat and furry leopard clutch purse!!
Ps: I am no bimbo
