sovenirs01

Hee. Have you guessed it right? The above’s bought by Boyfriend from Australia, Perth for me and my family. The heartshape chocos, red wine, koala bear pencil and the Koala Bear Cystal ball are for me. The rest are for my Mom. Very thoughtful of him coz’ he still remember that my Mom loves powdery chocos, nougats. The funniest thing was, he didn’t get anything from himself. lol. I guess it’s pretty easy to get some souvenirs for people when you’re overseas… but when comes to buying your own stuffs, it might be a little difficult. It’s either nothing attracts you or the prices too expensive. Geessh.

sovenirs02

I love this thing. :P I wish I could own a real koala bear. I’ll hug it everyday to sleep. lol. How adorable!

We headed off to town after he came to pass me the souvenirs. Met up with Chris for awhile as she needed to do scrapbooking (her 1st time doing it) for her friend’s birthday on Wednesday. I didn’t have time on that day to do it with her and hence I could only help her to source for the materials @ Plaza Singapura’s Spotlight & Made with Love.

Boyfriend and I reached early and we went to Pastamania for our lunch while waiting for Chris.

friend01

When she arrived, she joined us for lunch too. After lunch we went to shop for scrapbooking materials and Boyfriend bought movie tickets for 4:30pm’s. Chris managed to grab all the materials she needed and apparently, I spent about S$30 again for the stuffs. I guess all in all, I’ve spent near S$100 or more this week for scrapbooking. You’ll know why soon.

Anyway, after shopping, we parted with Chris. The movie ended at about 7pm. Boyfriend and I headed to Carrefour to grab some sushis and beer. We brought the food to Fort Canning Park to eat. Apparently the place’s quite secluded. It’s EXTREMELY dark and I got pissed off coz’ of the mosquitoes bites I had! But still, I enjoyed every moment with him. :P

beer01

So here’s the Heineken beer we bought. Boyfriend’s got influenced by his trip to Perth. lol. They were all drinking wine and beer everyday and so, there he goes.. Haha, but apparently it’s good that he knows where’s his limits… and I believe he still prefers wine than beer! :P I love Heineken in someway or another. It tasted so much better than Tiger, ABC, etc. Geesshh. Did I mentioned I love the bottle too? :P

Well so, we headed home after that. ^^

Us01This was taken when we were on the way out in the afternoon.

Ok! So here comes the scary part – my scrapbooking materials.

scrapbook4

Bought the above yesterday. lol and you’ll be surprised what I have in total…..

scrapbook3

Hee. The pink plastic bag’s all my scrapbooking patterned papers and plain papers. The spotlight plastic bag’s all my stickers. LOL. Scary huh. I’ll show you why..

scrapbook1

See! That’s A LOT of patterned papers! Most are from my 3rd sis as she bought a whole stack of patterned papers online and she gave me last year. Some didn’t match what I am supposed to do now and hence I bought extra. :P Very insane, I know.

scrapbook2

Next up. The stickers! I’ve got a whole lots of them.. even before I love to scrapbook, I’ve got a hobby of buying and collecting nice, unique and cute stickers.. so here we are. After compiling all of them together, that’s a full bag of stickers I have for scrapbooking. I’ve got more stickers but they’re irrelevant to scrapbooking.. so.. yup. lol!

I’ve got a tool box for scrapbooking actually but I didn’t take a picture of it. In it there are many ink pads, stamps, glue tape, buttons, etc. Lol. I don’t know why but when I’ve got a certain hobby, I’ll tend to buy almost everything as part of my collection. Somehow it’s more convenient this way – whenever I needed something for scrapbooking, I need not worry that I’m lack of some tools/materials. Geeshh.

So I guess I’ll end my post.. and before I do, here’s a picture of my handsome boy over at Perth last week. :P

bfpilotI <3 you, Mr. Pilot

“Key to my Heart” necklace!!!

December 17, 2008

Hehehheh. As usual, I’m waiting for quite a no. of parcels to arrived @ my doorstep. When the door bell rang, I received this package today.

gift01

It was rather small, comes with a box and I can’t helped it but to wonder since when did I purchase such item(s). I don’t know. It was written as “Fashion Accessory” on the package. Puzzled. Totally.When I opened the box, I was still wondering since when did I bought something that small.

gift02

And guess what? I was totally stunned when I opened the box. It was from keytomyheart – the necklace I’ve been eyeing for a long time!!!

gift03

It’s a gift from my Baby! He knows I love it and I had blogged about it – here. He was such an amazing BF, isn’t he? Despite him still schooling and working part-time, he never fails to pamper me.

gift04

When I opened it up, I was amazed and nearly teared. He is just so good in surprising me. I was still in disbelief and I thought this was a dream. It comes with beautiful cards and packaging. The card was written with “Dearest wifey, Merry Christmas & love you so much!” It melts my heart COMPLETELY.

gift05

After much anticipation, I opened them up 1 by 1. First up, the heart-shaped box. Isn’t it so sweet and lovely? What a beautiful Christmas gift.

Next up…

gift06

I see the necklace! The swaroski crystal first appeared – white belongs to my birthday month and blue is BF’s.

I was getting REALLY excited and when I pulled it out..

gift07

.. I was stunned again!! It was made with really good solid silver. Fell in love with it completely. BF engraved each pendant with our names. Here’s a better image.

gift08

Heheh, can you feel how blissed I am now? This gift came at the right time today. It’s our 28th month anniversary and now this gift not only is my Christmas gift, it is now served as my anniversary gift too. LOL. Oh, guess what? I passed my driving for the 1st time yesterday too! Isn’t all good things come to my life now?? How sweet. :p

My eldest sister gave me an advanced gift too. She bought me a pair of diamond ear-stud.

diamondearring

Gorgeous pair! tee-hee!

Well, by the way, if you know of any cheap dealer that sells 1st/2nd hand cars, let me know! Rental cars too! Must be local – Singapore! ^^

Pocoyo and Elly finally arrived!!

December 13, 2008

ellypocoyo

I was so happy when the postman knocked on my door about an hour ago. I have a few packages to wait, and I was thinking which items could have arrived first. When I saw the package was rather small, I knew it was my beanie toys. When I opened it, I nearly jumped for joy like a little kid. :P Just look at them, aren’t they lovely? So adorable that they’d make me smile! Thanks to 1stfortoys, I got my beautiful beanie toys at a very reasonable rate + shipping. Geessh, very satisfied! *Happy mode ++100*

And guess what? Just few days ago, baby and I were in Arcade with my niece. I spotted this cute little sheep and he tried to get it for me. It costs him only $4 and it’s mine now!

mehh

Hehehh. Tell me it’s adorable! ^^

Well, I can’t wait for tonight’s date with Baby after his work. Will be watching The Day The Earth Stood Still. Keanu Reeves, woohoo!

Ikea trip

December 5, 2008

I tell you, the trip was real fun. But it sucks to wait for cabs in SINGAPORE. Sucks, totally. I shall tell you why later.

Well, like I mentioned, baby and I had been wanting to go to IKEA so badly but couldn’t find an appropriate day to. Fortunately, we managed to visit there yesterday and had a great time shopping for furnitures together (how nice if we were shopping for our own furnitures, tee-hee!).

It was raining heavily (bad weather for a day out), and had to call cab. Went to CMPB at Depot Road to fetch Baby and we went off to IKEA straight. What a waste of money eh? Spent like $15~$20 of cab fare just for 1 bloody trip. Damn the surcharges. I shall pray hard I will pass my 1st practical driving test on the 16th of December. Then I shall rent or WIN a car (through lucky draws). Lol.

01

Bought the bangles above few days ago and loving it. :P

We first stop over at Achorpoint and shopped around. Bought some “Wife Biscuits”, small bites, gifts and headed to IKEA. Took quite a number of photos there and it was helluva fun. It’s been so long since Baby and I last went for shopping. Missed it totally.

05us

Baby was looking for a new desk to replace his current one. Reason? Too small. Whereas me? Shopping aimlessly. lol. While we passed by the Children department, I was simply amazed by something.

02lightsThis!!!!!!!

Yadayada. Isn’t this beautiful???? It was so inexpensive! Cost only SGD9.90 and I grabbed two of it! The only expensive part of it is the bulbs. Cost about SGD16.90 for both. It’s still so worth it! I can’t imagine how beautiful my room will be once this is up on the wall. It’s quite troublesome though – got to drill it onto the wall. Baby said he will do the job. Hehehhe. It’s good to have a man in the house you see. :D

We continued our shopping and took some weird photos………………..

03giftscraze

Grabbing that gift boxes was Baby’s idea. He sat down on the turtle-like thing and he posed it with that gift boxes. I wasn’t even wanting to shoot him, but since with this cute little posture, I decided to take out my camera. lol. And so, I posed too.

IKEA’s house decorations are simply awesome. So cozy and warm! I always have the urge to revamp my room (or even the whole house) with IKEA’s house decoration ideas. They too, have many cute plushies!

04plushcraze

I wanted to purchase one with a heartshape and hands cushion, but decided not to coz’ Baby kept telling me I have a lot of cushions and pillows already.. Hurrhh. Anyway, the above photo of me was asked to pose like that by Baby. He asked me to grab them both and made it like the bears are kissing me, lol. I was laughing my ass off.

We had our dinner there as well – as usual, it’s yummy. Though it made me quite thirsty afterwards. Perhaps the large amount of MSG they use? Bleh.

Baby managed to get his new desk and me, my new lights. :D We both enjoyed ourselves.

06us

Ya, so one thing sucks about yesterday was the cab issue. We waited for the damn cab at the taxi stand for almost an hour. No cab turned in although we were 2nd in line. Tried calling but operator said no cabs at the area at that particular moment – all were fully BOOKED. Isn’t this crap??? This does not happened for the 1st time! For goodness! Singapore has so many cab companies.. and you get to see cabs EVERYWHERE. It’s either the cab is empty and the driver does not want to take you, or it’s lighted up with “On Call” sign. BULLSHIT.

I wonder what’s wrong with the cabbies? Surcharge been increasing, but their service is decreasing. I so wish I’m in Hong Kong coz’ in Hong Kong, cabs wait for you and not you wait for them! It’s so cheap too. No surcharge! Urrhhhh. Pissed.

Blah. HATE IT.

Anyway, I forgot to mentioned I bought new 2009 calendar and also a US Dollar Bill and it’s attached as below.

Bye!

Shopping at IKEA later!

Like, finally! Baby sleptover at my place last night and we will be heading to IKEA later. I hope, though. Provided if I’m not tired to go down. We’ve been planning to go there, but just couldn’t fix an appropriate date to go. We’ve both been busy. His tests, and me babysitting away.

It’s been ages since he sleepover. Hurrh.

Anyway, later! Ciao.

When I received this e-mail, I was in awe.

1sttoys

If you have no idea what I am referring to, please refer to my previous entry HERE!

I am so excited now. Are you? :D

Pocoyo – It’s coming to Singapore! ;)

December 2, 2008

plush
Hahahahahhhaha. I am SO excited. I shopped at 1stfortoys just about 1/2 to 1 hour ago. Finally managed to find the plushies above. Immediately I added them both in the shopping bag, checkout and PAID! My Pocoyo and Elly will be arriving at my place probably 10~14days. I simply can’t wait!

Was talking with BF on the phone and I introduced him to my favorite toon (known as cartoon, lol). And all of a sudden, he asked me to check my bank account 3 days later. Reasons? He transferred money over to my bank account (different banks and hence need 3 days to receive) for this purchase! What a SURPRISE!

Hahahahha, I am so happy. Although this two plush toys costs quite a bit as the currency is in British Pounds. It’s ok! BF loves me!

I shall make those two my model when they arrived at my place. Geesshh. More to come!

Oh, check out the promotion video below. Just a glimpse of Pocoyo for you! Hahahhah ^^

Hotpot Culture – Marina Square

December 1, 2008

bfandme

Yadayada. Apologies for the 3 different post in a day. Thought I should blog about this since I’ve got the pics in my computer now (rather than in my external hard disk).

Few weeks ago on a Sunday (that’s probably the last time I went out), BF and I went to Marina Square for Hotpot Culture. Shopped at MUJI and bought some snacks (cost me $20+ for just snacks -_-) and shopped around. Above is the photo we took while waiting for bus to town @ the interchange.

food

Hotpot Culture’s really good. The herbal broth is a must-try. I don’t like the chicken broth though as it tastes quite weird. There were quite a no. of ingredients to choose from – both raw and cooked! I especially loved the beef slices. Very freshy and tasty. Heh heh. What bothered me was the drinks. No free water, and you still need to pay for the drinks. Per cup is about $2~$3+. I find it not really worth it coz’ when having steamboat, LOTS of water is needed. Hence, by ordering the drinks, it’s already costing us quite a bomb. We each ordered 2 drinks.. so waste of money. :(

Anyway, the chocolate fondue is nice too.. although not much to choose from. There’s only marshmallow and banana. But the chocolate is good – not too sweet not too bitter. Heheh.

We had ice-cream too. Take a look at the photo below.

icecream

Isn’t the right one looks disgusting? No prize for guessing who that belongs to. Hurrh.

Oh, and did I tell you? I crave for popcorn and nachos badly now. Really.

Time for some movies and furniture shopping at IKEA (probably this weekend!). *Excited*

I am so upset, ok?

I have been eyeing this for ages. From USD24.50 to USD12.25 now… my size is GONE! GONE GONE GONE. Super irritated and pissed off. Arrrgghhhhhhhhh.

A lesson learnt – don’t ever wait for SALES. Even if you do, GRAB IT FAST!
