So busy recently!

All my packages jammed at SingPost customs and then suddenly, ALL of the magically appears at my house. -.-" Gotta rush to stock-take and pack everything. Most importantly send out everything by later today, if can. If i don't I'll feel uneasy throughout the stay over at Monica's mansion. =X

Gathering with Monica, Sher and Finn, Tuesday evening for dinner. We went to Hey Hey Pot for steamboat. It's located at some ulu ulu place behind The Cathay. The food was quite ordinary but time spent there is well-worth~ All the jokes regarding their Saimon Sashimi. And nope, it's not a typo/spelling mistake, that's what is written on their menu. ^^

Went for Tau-Huay (is it spelled this way?) afterwards, dessert was filled with gossips of course! Then Finn got Ryan to be Chauffeur to send us back home. ^^

On the way, we spontaneously decided that we want to take a late-night tour in Monica's mansion. I hadn't been to her house since the big makeover a few years back. Her house became about 2x it's original size! O.O

Another spontaneous decision was made while we were goofing around, playing with the camera timer. We want a stay over before Monica goes abroad and Finn goes to work. It HAS to be within the week itself. =X So today's the big day! ^^

Brought my cousin to Wild Wild Wet yesterday. It's a pity Boy and Mei didn't come with us. I'm sure it'd be so much fun it they did. >.<

Mei haven't send me HK pix yet. -.-" I'll upload some when she finally remembers. =X

Big thanks to Monica for the M.A.C Blush she gave me as a Birthday gift. ^^ What a great timing! I'm in need of one. Gotta replenish some makeup stuff soon, I'm running out of liquid eyeliner too.

Finally i have the time to blog!
I had work up to my neck with the blogshop before and after my HK trip.

Before HK Trip:





A lot of things arrived and i was busily trying to settle unpaid suppliers, consolidation of orders, packaging of items for mail, what not. It hasn't stop until just right before my aunt picked me up to go to the airport. >.<

Super cute miniatures from Shermaine and Finn for my birthday~
Thank you, girls! I love minis and i love you^^

Stuff bought from HK Trip:

There wasn't anything much to buy except...
Miniatures!



Eau De Toilette/Eau De Parfum miniatures:
Anna Sui - Secret Wish, Sui Love, Flight of Fancy, Dolly Girl
Lavin, Gucci - Envy Me, Incanto Charms

Pretty bottles and wonderful scents! =D



Liquor Miniatures:
Bailey's, Chivas, Martell, Jack Daniels



Last minute shopping @ HK airport brought me a Coach wallet and Mum a Coach sling bag. It was a good buy as the price in HK is 10% - 20% lesser than in Singapore as HK is a tax free port. They tax cigarette, liquor and cosmetics only. ^^

A very big thank you to Mum for buying the wallet for me as a birthday pressie! (If not i'll sulk whole day like what evil sibling said =X)

HK trip was my 1st free and easy overseas trip (other then BITC days). Big thanks to Carina for trying very hard to be a good tour guide although she didn't live there for decades. =X

Above all, i still find that to be able to understand/experience the culture and practices of a particular place is to live there for a few months at least. But this trip give a good insight to life in Hong Kong. ^^

More pictures will be uploaded soon.

The boyfriend & his bro - Alvin and Adrian
The BITC lovies - Wai Leng, Huiyu, Alvin (Stifler's Mum)

Pretty brownie with icing and writing~


After a few bites~


The last bite~


It's gone!

Also, a big HAPPY MAMA DAY to my mummy and Stifler's Mum (since he wish Stifler happy birthday~)!

Finn jio-ed me to work for today and tomorrow. ^^ We are supposed to distribute flyers and freebies for Singtel to promote their parent-child plan. I was thinking that shouldn't be difficult as ALL people love freebies.

BUT, there's a catch - ALL flyers are printed in malay and we can only distribute them to malays. It's so sickening how some kiasu aunties came to get the flyer also. Especially so when they don't want to let go of the freebie after we've told them that it's for Malays only. Oh, did i mention that all such aunties are Chinese? I feel so disgraced by such behavior. To think the elders demand unconditioned respect.

You want respect? You fucking earn them!

Can you imagine aunties begging for a cheapo freebie? It happed not once, not twice but so many times i hadn't bother to count.

And there was this little girl who kicked my pile of flyers down a platform just because i didn't want to give the freebie to her because it was for malays only. After that, she got the cheek to "accidentally" kick my ass when i was standing by the stairs. Such lovely behavior coming for a young lady. I wonder what her parents are filling her brain with. "No Manners for Dummies"? HAHA I so feel like chopping her leg off, blend it and feed it to her raw with a golden spoon fit for the princessy attitude.

She made my hand dirty.

Other than the kiasu aunties from hell and the little demoness, working was okay~ ^^ I hope the Chinese and Indians I've not given the flyers and freebies to will not think i'm racist. >.< And i also hope that those Indians and Chinese whom I've mistaken as Malays are not offended!

New package came in this morning!
Guess what?
It's Wiwi items!

It got here within 3 days after the supplier sent it out.
They've used international courier.







More packing for me to do!
I'm still stuck at yesterday's Queen Shop items, i haven't packed them yet!

*Sighz*

Met Sher to shop for Finn's birthday pressie. That girl hint hint she wants a bag. But poor me and Sher can't find any nice bags from the shops we visited. =(

So we wanted to get her something from the following 3 items: Agnes B. bracelet, Topshop "outer top" or Pepper Red heels. In the end, the Agnes B bracelets at Isetan wasn't that nice and the pair of Pepper Red heels are sold out.

That leaves the Topshop "outer top"!

Went to Bakerzin to get some macarons to act as a birthday "cake". =P

Popped up at Finn's place to pass her the gift and the "cake". ^^ Chatted some and she shoo-ed us off to prepare for her special night at Double O.

I'm back from chalet! ^^

Day 1 -

E-hub @ Downtown East is open and there is an in-door ferris wheel.







So cool~ We planned to take a ride, but somehow didn't went on it. It's $11.50 for 2 pax, pretty affordable if you ask me. There's also many many cafes and restaurants @ E-hub, even an NTUC which sells really yummy sushi (looks good taste even better).

After dropping our stuff in our room after checking in, we went around to explore the new building before shopping for our BBQ stuff that were not pre-prepared. There are so many tempting things to buy for BBQ but we had to keep in mind that there's only the two of us. Therefore no quantity and no variety. =X

BBQ was really successful, can say that we're talented arsonists. The fire was good and all our food were grilled beautifully. ^^

Day 2 -

Had breakfast at some cafe @ E-hub. Went to X-Zone for our daily share of money spending. =X As usual, the toy catching machines never failed to catch our attraction.

I've caught a toy mushroom again. The first toy mushie was caught on Day 1 on my first try, using $1. The red mushie is know as "The $1 Mushie".

We weren't that lucky the second day when we attempted to catch the blue mushie. I've lost count as to how much did we spent, so i named the blue one "The Multi-Dollar Mushie". -.-''



Went Wild Wild Wet afterwards and bought myself a swimsuit. The Powerpuff Girl Cushion is of compliments of Wild Wild Wet as a birthday gift for me. ^^



BBQ-ed for dinner but it wasn't as successful as the day before as we're running out of charcoal and fire starters. But still, we're lucky to be able to cook all our food before the fire dies. ^^

Slacked for awhile before going to the new theater to watch Dance of the Dragon, nicknamed "Dragon Dance" by dar because he cannot remember to name of the movie properly. -.-''



The start of the movie is slowly paced and it's kind of boring. =X Fann Wong looked absolutely stunning in the red gown near the end of the movie (not the one in this pic, it's another sequin one). All in all, not enough dancing action as I would have liked, but still okay.

Day 3 -

Woke up early, packed and checked out. We went for breakfast at White Sands and took the train home. Poor dar have to go to work on last minute notice. *Hugs*

Home -

I expected lots of work to do when I reach home BUT there was only one parcel, which I had to retrieve from the post office and carry it back myself. I was kind of disappointed as i thought at least 2 or 3 packages would have came in by the time I'm home.

Settled down to reply mails, tags and track the status of all my sprees. Stock-take for the package I got today, as well as, sort the items according to the respective shoppers. I'm gonna pack and mail them out tomorrow.



And hope the other packages that are on their way come in tomorrow, when I'm at home!

Going off to 3D2N chalet with dar tomorrow~

This will be the last chalet before school starts, i guess. BBQ was a success for us the last time therefore, we've planned mini BBQ for dinners this time round too. ^^

DeCard sent me some vouchers as birthday treats! A "50% off" Sakura International buffet voucher is included, enabling me and dar to finally visit Sakura for a meal. That settles our lunch for Day 2~

I'm so looking forward to spend time with dar but i'm somewhat worried about my blogshop stuff. JJS supplier hasn't confirmed order, Bigi bag payment hasn't been made, shipments are arriving and no one might be home to received them. >.< I'm so so tempted to bring my laptop but it defeats the purpose of a getaway with dar.

I'd like to wake up with the correct mood tomorrow to thoroughly enjoy our getaway. ^^

I took a quiz from
http://www.quizbox.com/personality/test82.aspx
and here's the results. ^^

Your view on yourself:

You are intelligent, honest and sweet. You are friendly to everybody and don't like conflict. Because you're so cheerful and fun people are naturally attracted to you and like to talk to you.

The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:

You are a true romantic. When you are in love, you will do anything and everything to keep your love true.

Your readiness to commit to a relationship:

You are ready to commit as soon as you meet the right person. And you believe you will pretty much know as soon as you might that person.

The seriousness of your love:

Your have very sensible tactics when approaching the opposite sex. In many ways people find your straightforwardness attractive, so you will find yourself with plenty of dates.

Your views on education

Education is very important in life. You want to study hard and learn as much as you can.

The right job for you:

You're a practical person and will choose a secure job with a steady income. Knowing what you like to do is important. Find a regular job doing just that and you'll be set for life.

How do you view success:

You are afraid of failure and scared to have a go at the career you would like to have in case you don't succeed. Don't give up when you haven't yet even started! Be courageous.

What are you most afraid of:

You are afraid of things that you cannot control. Sometimes you show your anger to cover up how you feel.

Who is your true self:

You are full of energy and confidence. You are unpredictable, with moods changing as quickly as an ocean. You might occasionally be calm and still, but never for long.

Is it true?
I think it's pretty accurate.

TW spree suppliers are sometimes really incompetent and irritating. Just like KC Wallet Pre-Order supplier. They reserve items for my order in the wrong colour. Not 1 item, not 2 items but 6 items. I'm so pissed that i'd have to tell my shoppers that the wallets are OOS and will have to refund them. Thus, earning nothing for the work i've done for the wallets. And all because of a mistake that wasn't caused by me. CRAP!

Why can't all TW suppliers be like Tokyo Fashion? Always reliable and efficient. Purchasing from them has never gone wrong! *frustrated*

Blogshop things aside, dar bought me a triangle sign! I can drive mama's car out when he passes me that. Then, i won't have to worry about dar missing the last train home. I can always drive him back. ^^ But here comes another problem. I might know how to go to clementi (with his directions) but i'm afraid that i won't be able to find my way home. >.<

Gotta go back to doing blogshop stuff~
Being lady boss ain't easy.
