The best Christmas ever!

I started the festive season with a dinner gathering cum stay-over at dear's place on Christmas Eve. The food was exceptionally nice! All suited to my liking. Ate like quite a lot because all of us (the guests) stayed up till almost 6am the next day chitchatting, singing karaoke, playing games etc. I still can't believe I can manage to stay up till so late. Exchanging of gifts starts at half past midnight after a few rounds of games and as usual, it was Dirty Santa! I'm not sure why but I am always the last person to choose. Hence, I managed to steal the present which I already had in my mind before the game starts - a Novelle pillow! So happy that I managed to steal it. :)

This is the kind of thing we do before we went out to join the others

The Christmas Tree full of presents!

That is dear's mum's present which I thought was cool

On Christmas Day itself, it was gathering at Si Xuan's place! The weather was good - because it's windy. The food was great, this time round with more wines. Though the black pepper spaghetti was really hot, but I love it the most. My second pick would be the breaded baked prawn. Kudos to Si Xuan for the great meal she whipped up!

A joyous season! :)

I really enjoyed myself for this year's Christmas - be it at dear's place or at si xuan's place. I felt blessed that I have a bunch of good friends who's there for each other no matter what. Nothing can be more important than this. On the other hand, how can I forget my dear? Your present to me this year was the most expensive present I have received thus far for Christmas, and I am looking forward to it, after 3 years finally! Much love to all who has been part of my life.

Voyage De La Vie and Lion King, here I come! :)

After my first paper last Friday, I happily met up with dear for a dinner together at Somerset. He brought me to EwF - Everything with Fries and we each chose our own set meal. I had some cheese omelette with bacon burger while he had his

breaded fish burger. The breaded fish burger he had was damn nice!! Mine doesn't taste as nice as his as the omelette was too salty i felt. But the fries was nice though! Happy dinner together. :)

His face looked blurish so i thought i would just blur it out even more

Playing with an app on my iphone while he bought us our meals! Cool!

That's our meals!

Last Saturday, dear brought me to his colleague's wedding. It was somewhere near his house and he drove me there. Luckily he drove because it was a very humid day and I would never have tolerated the weather! It was a Malay wedding at a void deck so there was no aircon, but still the wedding atmosphere was there. It was my first time attending a Malay wedding by the way! One thing which I do not really like though.. the music was blasting into my ears. Way too loud! Stayed for almost one hour and off we went to meet my supplier for the goods.

The cakes looked so so so pretty. Didn't get to eat it hahaha

After meeting our suppliers, we headed down to Tampines Ikea for shopping loots. He had to buy quite a few Christmas exchange gifts while I had to get exchange gifts for his family too. We spent like 3 hours there can you imagine? Tired, but enjoyed myself alot. We both called this the perfect date. Perfect!

Noting down his every expenses..

Like an uncle, he checked through every single compartment and zip before putting it into his shopping bag. Auty-ish!!

The same thing goes to those hangers...

On a side note, LaFemmeDaBelle is going to launch a new collection this Thursday, 10am!

Anyway, preview's up! Recommendations below!

For casual wear, look out for this stripes maxi dress!

For a day out with your girlfriends or that special someone, this denim corset dress is the one!

For a day out after work, Vivi Straps dress spells perfect! This is also my self-manufactured piece! :)

Anyways, did I mention that I love polaroids? I think it's starting to be the next in thing now among girls. Half a year ago I was very much tempted to get my own polaroid, but the idea had to be stalled for a moment because I was just starting my own business and and there wasn't any extra cash for me to buy one. Then just yesterday, I realised that I can actually buy second-handed ones! Much much cheaper, though one can still cost $80? Went to ebay and found that there's some selling for only $30 and there's even a brand new one for only $40 inclusive of shipping.

Mad love for polaroid. I swear I am going to get one!

Genting Trip!

Got a real good deal from deal.com.sg as I signed up with them a few months ago - E-Voucher at only $168 nett for 2 person to Genting Highlands for 3d2n via Silver Cruiser WTS Travel!

Immediately texted all my buddies from JC and to my surprise, all are for it! Maybe because everyone's undergoing exams at the moment and all of us are stressed, hence needs an outlet to vent all the stress away after exams. What's more, this deal is real cheap and affordable.

After buying the vouchers, called up WTS travel to book the exact dates and timing with them. So guys, please refer below for the details!

Destination: Genting Highlands

Date: 6th January 2010 to 8th January 2010

Travel Agency: WTS Travel

Departure Location: Woodlands Causeway Point

Departure Time from CWP: 6.15am

Meeting Time at CWP: 5.30am (Do not be late because the bus will not wait)

Estimated Arrival Time at Genting: 12pm

Departure Time from Genting: 2.15pm

Estimated Arrival Time in Singapore: 7pm

Based on past experiences, SGD100 for expenses is more than enough for whole trip.

So looking forward to it!! :)

Response for Festive Season I was not bad. Looking forward to advertorial by Zoe which never fails bring in more more sales!

My favorite piece for my latest collection. Can't help it but try on this dress. Mad love. And most importantly, the sizing fits me just nice! The ruched details at the bottom accentuates your figure and for those who have broad shoulders, flabby arms and tummy like me, this is the one to cover up a bit of the flesh.

I can wear this out!! WooHooo!!

Only took photos for the navy one, because I dont suit pink. But the pink one is just as pretty! :)

You can wear it off-shoulder like this

Or without off-shoulder like this

No make-up on, look like shit. Pardon that. =P

Email

This was the exact email I sent out in order to spite M. Every single remark was pointed directly at her, which I hope she knows. All the statements that she made towards me during our meeting yesterday was indirectly shooting at my quality of work. The attitude that she gave me was totally different from what she gave to the other 2 members in our group.

I kept quiet listening to her every sentence and remarks and trying to explain the reason why I input certain values but to no avail as all she said was "So everything is wrong. You have to re-do it.", when all I need to change was a few values which I efficiently did in 15 minutes. Given my temper, I could have banged the table and hurl vulgarities at her. But at the back of my head, I remembered dear's constant reminder that I have to keep cool and not show anger/emotions as that would have meant victory for the other party.

Hence, I went back to check through and analyse all my datas again and after I have done the final editing, I sent them this email.

Hi all,

Please refer to the attached file for the latest version of the report. I have updated all tables and figures, checked through for standardisation of terms used and edit a little of the cost analysis.

It will be good if everyone read through the whole report again to check through for standardisation of terms and if the need arises, do edit from this file if you spot any irregularities in terms. Please refrain from just acknowledging that there are irregularities but just leave it there and then inform me to do it. I believe it is everyone's responsibilities to check through and make this report a better one.

Another issue to clarify - I have re-read and analysed my parts on cost analysis and I do not see why "everything is wrong" and I have to re-do it. All the information I have written and included in the analysis makes logical sense to me so perhaps if anyone has any queries on my part, I would prefer that you asked me first before making a judgement that I have to re-do it. I am more than willing to explain in detail or even repeat what the lecturer has taught if this was not being paid attention to.

Also, there are some parts of the cost analysis that I did not include inside was because the Professor did mention that as there is a lack of time and the lecture notes have not been taught finish, hence it is not necessary to include in. I hope attention was being paid to what the Professor has said.

Project costs are based on estimation - also mentioned by Professor. This was not done in a haste but only after much calculations and research.

Marilyn did mention that there were no parts costs - I believe this is explicitly stated in Chapter 3 of the report. Please look through all diagrams and figures.

I believe this project has by far tested us on our knowledge, skills and patience. Exam is less than 10 days away and everyone is trying our best to finalise our report now and preparing for exams at the same time, which is the main reason why we gave each other deadlines so that we can have ample time to prepare for exams. Therefore it is important to realize that in a group project, everyone has to fulfill his/her responsibilities so that we are do not face this predicament as it is unjust to the other group members who had diligently tried to rush out the project so that they have ample time to study.

Thank you.
