she nv realise itz a poem till now

amor,esperanza y fe 11:42 PM.

FINALLY, met up with baby today. Since she came back from her Hong Kong trip.

It wasn't a coincident that I chose today for the meetup. The reason why it was chosen was that it’s…

Happy Happy Baby Day! :)

Sorry I didn't bring you somewhere nice for coffee and I didn't get you a cake. I’m sorry about that. To make things worse, my present was poorly wrapped. Will definitely reflect on it. :(

I really enjoyed snapping away on my camera as you unwrapped my present for you. So much so that I ended up with a large amount of pictures that requires me to collage them. And I agree with you that your “shocked look” picture is a CLASSIC!

I have to apologise for shocking you with my gift but I am not sincerely sorry about it. *wicked grin* heh heh…

Oh! And I just realized that I forgot to take a picture with you!! I will remember to take one tomorrow when I meet you again!

I really hope that you will have an exultant birthday. Although I understand your disappointment and perspective, I just want to plea with you again to assign heavier weight to intention. It’s just my two cents worth, but I felt that he put in a lot of effort. Sad to say, he aimed wrongly and went out of point.

Whatever it is I will write it down here to remind myself to convey to the poor chap the following advice. So in time to come, he will learn.

Advice number one:

All special occasions are viewed highly by baby. To name a few upcoming ones will be Christmas, New Year, and Valentine’s Day. Among them all, birthdays are the most important ones.

Advice number two:

Next year's Valentine’s Day coincides with the first day of Chinese New Year. Kindly make contingency plans.

Advice number three:

Presents have the power to communicate your efforts. Hence, don’t let this opportunity go to waste. Presents need not be monetarily valuable. For example, if you make her favourite cheng teng, as a valentine’s day gift, that would be more than sufficient.

I hope this helps.

After parting with baby, I went for dinner at Sakae with my family. It was delectable! This is a rare compliment for Sakae because their sashimi never seems to be up to mark with Ichiban. Well, that standard was what we experienced today but I am not sure as to whether they will maintain it.

Baby day really sets it all. It made me felt like I am holidaying and the special occasion atmosphere was all around. I felt it even when I am at school every single day.

On the negative side, I didn’t have the motivation to study and uh oh! Yes! uh oh! I am lagging alot! I hope I can make it through my midterms! :’(

Come week 8 come~

amor,esperanza y fe 11:31 PM.

Dearie baby…. You are  less than 12 hours away from your candles and cakes and everything nice! Heh heh… and you are gonna be older than me!! Heehee.. (oh well.. but you always look younger.. ;-))

Let me give you a preview of your present so that you can rest and not bombard me with your questions about the functionality and usability of your present. It’s tough to answer them as

1. They are both functional and non-functional

2. They are depletable and non-depletable

3. They are usable and not usable

YES! It is THAT complicated! Heeheee… so that also gave you an idea that there is more than one part to your birthday present! ;)

So now, *drum rolls*

I am sorry my dearie. I told you, your friend is a poor one. :(  So, here you are with a cheapo friend that buys your birthday present from Watsons. :(

The above picture is a major hint to your present.

YES! Scrutinize it and crack your brains! Or perhaps, a smart girl like you already knew what it is at first glance.

On a side note, I just want to show one of the Etude’s colours that I bought. I painted it but I think my camera didnt do the colour justice. :(

amor,esperanza y fe 4:16 PM.

He is late again! Sigh... But well, I’m always late too!

So here I am blogging at the platform of Bishan MRT station. Lol.

I had a long weekend and am totally screwed because I have not been studying for my midterms except for that short session with Tarynn. :(

Attended Isaac's cousin, Kai Yeow's wedding on Saturday at Royal China. The food was superb except for the dangui duck. Haha...

It was really an eye opener for me. Never had I seen a wedding as rowdy and funny as this one. His father side of the family seems close and cousins are well bonded with each other. I have to admit that I am a little envious.

Applause for the brave one who finally exited his closet!

Finally went to that large Muji store in Ion which I was dying to visit. Their vast array of coloured pens just blew my sanity away and I ended up owing these pretty little things.

At long last, I watched Coco before Chanel on Monday!! Most people must have watched it ages ago.

After the movie, we set out on an expedition to “discover the wonders” of Ion. HAHA…

For German toys' lovers, there’s a shop at level 4 that sells them. If I am not mistaken, it should be the same German toys shop in Raffles City.

Here we have exquisite German toys and a 'poser' to enhance the beauty of the toys. ;)

Last stop before going home to rest my weary body was Häagen Dazs. Isaac ordered a Berry Float which was yummy before we had Belgium chocolate and Tiramisu ice-creams. After the ice-creams, the Berry Float tasted slightly sour for our liking.

A weekend cannot be considered FUN if I didn’t buy some pretty stuff that I can wear on myself. Heehee… So I bought another 2 bottles of nail colour from Etude!! Yippie! But I am too lazy to take a picture of them. Haha…

amor,esperanza y fe 10:24 PM.

I am depressed.

I have been feeling down for the past few days. Down not in the sad kind of way but more of the bored way. =(

I have no idea what’s wrong with me. But the boredom that I felt got worse today and in the end, it manifested itself into depression. It was at its peak when I was alone on the train home from school. As I looked at the grey sky looming over the areas that the train passed by, my mood was the exact same colour of the sky. Not black like ultimate sadness but not pink or yellow like a cheery person. Its grey. The blurred zone.

Perhaps its because my hair sucks. I looked like I am going to the market. =(

Perhaps its because I can’t find clothes to wear this morning.

Perhaps its because I haven’t been wearing any new clothes.

Perhaps its because I haven’t been eating good food.

Perhaps its because I haven’t been out playing, having fun and enjoying life.

Or perhaps, I am just bored.

I am sure many of you will view me as a spoilt brat by this point of the post. And I guess I am one.

I should be thankful of what I have and what I enjoyed. And I am really really absolutely luckier than millions of people out there. But here I am, complaining about my life when I already had a lot.

I am ashamed of myself. BUT, this feeling is not something that I can control. I can’t help but feel this way. Similar to an instance where your girlfriend kept complaining about you not having enough time for her.It isn’t that she don’t understand how busy you are or that she felt that she has every right to blame you, the truth is, she simply can’t stop herself from feeling neglected.

The thing with feelings is that you can’t just shout at it to freeze and it will gladly comply. People can’t control how they feel. If you expect them to bottle up all these “unjustified” feelings, then make sure that you are able to deal with an emotions eruption.

Eh.. okay… I have no idea why am I talking about all these when this post is supposed to be about my mama. Haha.. So let’s get back to the “supposed” story…

So I felt depressed and it was written all over my face. When I met my mum for dinner, she was very nice to let me dragged her to Pastamania for dinner. Well you see, we don’t have much restaurant choices at Sembawang. Heehee..

And as you can see, I forced her to take a picture with me! Wasn’t in the mood for cam-whoring and picture-taking thus, I only ended up with 2 photos. I had the Prawn Aglio below. BABY!! I think you will love it! Its quite spicy and tasted good just that it might be a little too oily.

That’s about it for Pastamania.

Mummies are still the best. They talked to you and do simple things that will cheer you up when you need comfort the most. I felt a lot better after talking and complaining to my mum. Although I must admit that I haven’t fully recovered. I am constantly amazed this special gift of GOD that all mothers has.

Mothers always seem to know how their children are feeling despite not knowing what they are thinking. My mum is the only one who is able to look beyond the concealing mask of mine, straight at my sadness, anger etc. (Oops! I forgot GOD can too! ;) )

Anyway, I just received an email and it brought me back to my depressed state. I need mummy again!! :(

amor,esperanza y fe 1:00 AM.

Yeay! I finally manage to try the Dunkin Donuts at Ion today!!

They are having a promotion - for every 5 donuts you buy, you can get one free. 6 donuts just cost me $7! :)

Since I am aging, you have to pardon me because I forgot to take a picture of my lovely donuts until I was left with just 3. :(

Well, its still better than nothing. ;)

The glorious threesome

Let me introduce them to you one at a time. Put your hands together to welcome Ms. Blueberry!

The blueberry filling in it is jam-like. It should be jam but in a more diluted form. Jelly? haha.. Whatever it is, it sure is yummy yum!

This is Mr. Crunchy Choc who is my love rival because he took Tarynn’s heart away. Lol. She likes it.

Last but not least, Mr. BANANA!! Yes BANANA!! I think they tried to shape it like a banana but its quite fat and short in length such that it looks more like an incomplete moon than a banana. So sad. Actually I don’t really understand the motive behind the shape of this donut.

All of them tasted nice to me.

Isaac feels that JCo and Donut Factory’s dough taste better than Dunkin Donuts. But they all taste the same to me… LOL…For Tarynn, she finds that Dunkin Donuts are better than JCo because of the texture. The texture of Dunkin Donuts is more powdery but JCo’s donuts tend to have a sticky texture making it messier to deal with.

One thing to note for people who loves choc rice donuts, please don’t be mistaken by the name “Blackforest”. “Blackforest” is indeed your beloved choc rice donut and it tastes nothing like the conventional blackforest. So don’t worry! Go ahead and grab it!

amor,esperanza y fe 12:31 AM.

Believe it or not the previous pizza delights post cost me at least 5 hrs and even then, I wasn’t able to post it up in a smart way.

The problem is MS Word 2007 has such a great feature that enables people to blog on word and publishes it on their blogs. Blogging on MS Word 2007 is enticing to me because of all the great editing and beautifying that can be done to my pictures but in the end I was utterly disappointed with word.

As you can see, I am blogging on blogger and apparently blogger doesn’t support image upload on its own server according to MS Word 2007 which is puzzling to me because I thought it does just that the amount of space provided isn’t much. But FINE. I will just use an external image provider and I am using photobucket by the way. Somehow I simply can’t figure out what is the source URL and upload URL that they are asking for. I’ve been surfing the web for hours and apparently, I am not the only one with this problem. But to date, there seems to be no solution.

I am pretty upset with the result. But nevertheless, I moved on and stopped harping on it. If I am not in a period with upcoming midterms and project deadlines, I would have just continued to search for solutions. Probably even email Microsoft to demand for one.

You see, the maddening thing here is that, even though word provides a list of supported blog providers, it didn’t specify any image providers. So what is the point of giving an option for externally hosting images when you don’t have a list of supported ones where people can sign up with?

So what did I do?

I did a pretty dumb thing. I think it is pretty dumb and tedious. I did up my pictures in Word the way I want them to be then I copy them individually into paint and saved them. Its dumb. I know. But it’s the only method that I could think up of after google of my brain cells got killed in the quest for MS word blogging solutions.

Then I have to upload them in photobucket and insert them into Window Live Writer which is also a blog writing software and it’s free. I think most people with the new Window Live messenger would have it in their computers just that they don’t realized it. It is a useful software although their picture editing features are limited. If you have the time, just try it! Its good as long as you don’t deal much with pictures uploading.

amor,esperanza y fe 2:37 PM.

Went to school today to study corp reporting with Tarynn and I realized that I will be doomed for corp reporting midterm. There is just so much to memorize and digest. Wonder if I will still be in one piece by the end of this semester.

Been listening and pondering over this song by Casting Crowns – Stained Glass Masquerade.

I feel exactly the same way nearly every day, perhaps I like hiding behind masks. And I often wonder how will it be like if you stripped yourself naked (of course not literally!!), and face the whole world truthfully. Your fears, anger, happiness, secrets and such get thrown under the bright sun for everyone to see. People kept seeking the truth, from young our parents taught us to tell the truth and not lie, but when humans come face to face with the truth, are they able to accept that?

If I dare to let you see the truth behind the person that you imagine me to be, would your arms be open? Would you walk away?

Well let me move on to something more cheery and close to our stomachs. Visited Pizza Hut for lunch this afternoon with Isaac. Been wanting to try their new pasta dishes because of that pasta commercial of theirs. Tasted their pasta in the past and it was too substandard for the price that they were charging so I wondered whether they really got better.

So here comes the review done by Isaac and I.

I went ahead with their mushroom soup. I was expecting Campbell’s cream of mushroom but yet I got something better! It’s a thicker broth then the soup that they used to serve. The mushroom soup is brown in colour with mushroom bits and it tasted delicious for the price paid. Haha…

Let’s move to the stars of the meal! I proudly present to you Seafood Vongole! It’s nice with its soupy pasta sauce and its linguine has a very strong taste of butter and cream so if you are like me who is totally in love with dairy products, you should try this. But I hate parsley and they have quite a lot so I will recommend that you request the parsley be removed if you hate them too! ;) The seafood is average. I am not sure whether the seafood is very fresh but at least they don’t have fishy taste.

Next up…. Spicy Chicken Pomodoro!!!

It’s a little bit spicy but not unbearable. But a genuine advice is to have a cup of iced water with you as you attempt this dish. I love their chicken bits which were so tender!! However if you are “allergic” to spiciness, they have the non-spicy chicken pomodoro. ;)

On the whole, both of us prefer the seafood vongole to the chicken pomodoro because of its more smoothing taste and linguine which has rich butter and cream taste!

Entertainment brought to you with courtesy from Isaac Chen.

Its really funny that in the first 2 pictures his eyes look closed when they are actually open and the last picture totally amazed me because I didn’t know his eyes can be that large. Oh! And I didn’t know he loves to act cute too! Haha.. so bad of me. Oh well.

That’s all for the day!

I participated in yet, another spectacles fun fiesta but this time the venue is in SMU GSR. LOL… We had Mr. Big Frame in the other post. This time round, its Mr. Potter!

Let’s put our hands together and welcome the Potters of SMU!

Funny, the kind of things that midterms stress can drive people to… Haha..

The highlight of my day is the arrival of my LOVE! Yes! Love~~~~ After waiting and drooling at them through my computer screen for more than 2 months, they are FINALLY here!

My shampoo and hair mask that I ordered from the U.K. Yippie! It’s here! It’s here! And no no, your eyesight is perfectly fine and I didn’t photoshop anything.

I really ordered the 2 litres bottles. >.<

My insecurities are getting the better of me.

What am I to do?

=(

Our whole family went Manhattan Fish Market for dinner and tried their medium Lobster Seafood Platter. I am sorry that I didn’t take any food pictures because I am simply too lazy to do so.

The platter and other dishes didn’t look interesting or delicious enough for me to take a snap. On the whole, I preferred Fish n Co’s seafood platter. I guess it’s due to the grilled seafood in Fish n Co’s platter whereas, Manhattan’s seafood are all fried. But I have to admit that Manhattan’s garlic rice is much better than the buttered rice of Fish n Co. At least, in my preference.

The food wasn’t quite satisfactory, nonetheless, my family had fun fooling around with my large frame spectacles. heehee.. A childish lot we are!

They took turns trying on my spectacles. We had great fun! At least, I enjoyed myself looking at and commenting on how they looked in spectacles.

My sis was so sure that her face looked smaller with the spectacles. Now, she is dying to get one for herself. If she is willing to wait, I will get one for her as her Christmas present! =)

Anyway, I need shoes! I am so sick of my lack of footwear. I am eyeing on a pair of black sandals but that is if they are still available and I need at least 2 pairs of heels cause’ all my heels are goners. And it will be terrific to get another pair of flats in either black or white. =(

The price tag that goes with my wants is too large for my wallet to digest. =( I think I am really an ultimate spending machine. The government must loved me for how much I contributed to the economy in such bad times and despite my own financial constraints.

I think it is really quite bad. Buying clothes every week has become a need and habit instead of the want that it used to be ages ago.

=(

But I hate parsley and they have quite a lot so I will recommend that you request the parsley be removed if you hate them too! ;) The seafood is average. I am not sure whether the seafood is very fresh but at least they don’t have fishy taste.

Next up…. Spicy Chicken Pomodoro!!!

It’s a little bit spicy but not unbearable. But a genuine advice is to have a cup of iced water with you as you attempt this dish. I love their chicken bits which were so tender!! However if you are “allergic” to spiciness, they have the non-spicy chicken pomodoro. ;)

On the whole, both of us prefer the seafood vongole to the chicken pomodoro because of its more smoothing taste and linguine which has rich butter and cream taste!

Its really funny that in the first 2 pictures his eyes look closed when they are actually open and the last picture totally amazed me because I didn’t know his eyes can be that large. Oh! And I didn’t know he loves to act cute too! Haha.. so bad of me. Oh well.

That’s all for the day!
