Gillian bought me an umbrella from Hong Kong, and she said, I must tweet and blog about it.


Anyway, I tweet about the gift this morning. So here is the blog.


Gillian went to Hong Kong last weekend, and I told her I like those cute umbrellas that they sell in 女人街. If she will to shop there, maybe she can help me get one back to Singapore.





So here I have, a Tinkerland print umbrealla!! It is not only cute, it is also very light. I love it, it can be kept in my bag, and I can carry it easily. Lijun said, I have to be careful on rainy days, I might got blown away by the strong wind. Tinkerbell print really very cute. If you see a lady carrying a Tinkerbell umbrella on rainy days, ya, that's me. Hahaha!

Thank you Gillian!!! Muack!!!

Think Before You Leap

My papa's 金龙鱼did a high jump just now, and it successfully landed in the floor. (I think hor, Olympics Games or SEA Games should gave it a medal, you know. It jumped higher than we thought it could.) After that, it flipped all the way from the living room to the kitchen door. No worries ok, my papa managed to save it and put it back into the fish tank. 平安平安.

I was looking at it from the side, while my papa is trying to pick it up from the floor. Not that, I don't want to help, I don't know how to help. So the best thing is not to get into the way. At that point of time, I heard my papa said, '你想自杀吗?'. I was thinking, maybe the fish wanted to reply my papa, '我后悔了.'

Whenever a decision is made, we said never mind. At most reset and do all over again. However, when something happen beyond our control, we can not reset and redo. I believe the fish was thinking, how would it be outside the tank? At most, jumped into the tank again. And it never realised that it can never jump back into the tank anymore, unless someone gave it a helping hand. Real life situation is the same too. We might be doom, when we realised there is no reset in the whole situation. And there is no one around us, to help us a helping hand.

Anyway, I think it was very fortunate that my papa was at home when it made the high jump. I will not know what to do. Maybe I can only look at it with teary eyes, crying out when I see it's last breathe... (Choy choy)

大难不死, 必有后福. Let's see what kind of 福, this 金龙鱼 will have.

My Leno





Introducing my new notebook, G460!!! I have decided to name it Leno. Hehehe.

Very impressed with it's functions and images. Think it will take me some time to explore what it can do for me. Till now, I found out it has 3D preview (cool hor?), sticky note (like post it pad, but on desktop, environment friendly), wide screen (really wide lor, my desktop wallpaper looks a bit funny now, because the guys' faces are stretched out! Hahaha!).

Been feeling so bored for the past few days, can not msn, can not update blog, can not go into tweeter and facebook. Everyone is asking me to buy an iPhone, but I still think a new laptop is more suitable. Hazel is so nice to lend me her iTouch, to pass time. In the end, I played games until 1am every night. Fortunately, I can still wake up the next day to go to work. Hahaha! Now I might consider getting an iTouch instead.

I am back in action!!!

其实,我对这句话有点反感。 我明白要爱自己,才会爱别人。

可是,这样大家都只为自己着想,那这世界不是变得很乱吗?

有时, 真的很想对这些人说, 帮人家想想,又不会少一块肉。。。

So bored...

I was wondering, do I depend on internet too much, or internet has invaded into my life totally. My dearest lappie, has failed on me. For the past 4 years, I been playing with msn every night, active in facebook, and tweetering with my friends. Suddenly, all these things can not be done. I feel so lost, for a moment, I do not know how should I pass the night. Hahaha! Now i have to tweet and blog using my Nokia baby, Super Swee.  Just like the owner. (Whistle - wee wee)  Miss my lappie! Ai! why must things start to spoil, when I have very tight budget... Do i really must drink water for meal? Ai...

Far Far Away...

Was msning with Hazel, saying I will have no dinner tonight. My parents went out pak-toring, leaving me home alone, with a twisted neck. (No worries, I am fine, Just a bit painful, if I turn my head too fast. A lesson to learn, don't 假厉害, don't carry weights that is too heavy for myself. Hahaha)


Hazel : So you can go downstairs for dinner later?

Me : My place downstairs has nothing to eat.

Hazel : Oh. Then how?

Me : I have to go far far away to buy. Maybe I can get Shrek or Fiona to buy for me?

Hazel : Hahaha! They can send Puss In Boots.

Me : Who knows, they might just send Ginger Bread Man. Hahaha!!!

Hazel : Aiyah. On the way to your house, he might be eaten up by Puss. Hahaha!


Ok, a bit bo liao. Just think it's funny. Hahaha!

陈炜倩 - 捉到乐

I have a friend, Chen Wei Qian, who I admired her courage for pursuing her dreams. She has a passion for music since she was a teenager. Worked for music company, and event companies all these while, and I feel that she is always in the entertainment business.



Many of us would have given up after we turned 25 to pursue our dream. We could be have focus on making money to support ourselves, and forget about what we want to do at the very first place. All these time, we kept in touch using Msn, and I know she been busying working.

One day, Wei Qian msn me to say, she is releasing an EP. I am really happy for her, because I know she must have put in lots of effort. She has been composing songs, and I always have the honour to see it first. Frankly speaking, when I first received the CD from her, I am very touched, though I did not show it. The feel of the songs inside, was just like the lyrics sent to me last night for checking and suggestion. Now they are really recorded into a CD and everyone can hear it.

I always can not feel the 'sincerity' in an album whenever an artiste mentioned during interview. After the launch, I can feel it now, as I heard the songs. It took her many months composing and amending just one song, and after that imagine how many times she has to sing in the recording studio. Now I get what they mean by that.

Kindly show your support if you can.

Thank you everyone!

78/100

I was on the way to office on Bus 165 this morning, when I noticed a teacher marking papers beside me.


I could not recognise the school badge, so I could not tell which school it was from. The teacher was marking the Math test paper and shaking her head at the same time. Occassionally I heard a soft sign. I must say, I was just curious lah, not kpo ok, I peeped at the paper she was marking. There was a number of crosses and ticks. The poor boy made quite a number of careless mistakes. In the end, he only got 78/100, and I saw the teacher put a remark, 'Very bad'.


I was thinking, I was very weak in Math. my teacher must have been shaking his/her head when they were marking my Math paper too. In my memory, other than Kindergarten, I never score 100 in my Maths paper at all. Hahaha!


Till now, I can not do mental sum too. If the numbers get too complicated, I will still give the wrong answers! Hahaha!!!


To all the students, 加油!

A mystery case happened in MediaCorp today.


A motionless body of Spongebob Square Pants (Male, Age: Unknown) was found lying at the rooftop of rubbish chute in the morning. Based on the witnesses at the scene, it was last seen sitting at Anthea's table, TV Airtime Sales, last Friday. As the Sales Conference was held on that day at the Regent Hotel, only sales admin executives were in the office. Eye witness No. 1, Miss Wendy Foo, saw Anthea bringing Spongebob to the pantry to Auntie Elizabeth.


The mishap happened after that, as the last witness left the office at 4pm, and have seen nothing.


Spongebob was found lying face down, arm under it's body. First thought of the mishap was the suicide of Spongebob itself. However, Dectative Wilmay gave us her thought after close inspection. Based on the measurement from the wall to the chute rooftop, the distance was too far for the body to be landed. She declared it to be a murder case. Further investigation was to be conducted, to solve the mystery.




Many hours later, Spongebob case was declared closed, as it was a FALSE ALARM!!!

Spongebob Square Pants is just sun bathing.




See the bright smile on his face?


Hahaha! Spongebob was discharged by Anthea because it was very dusty. Think Auntie just wanted to throw it away, but leave it at the roof top first. All of us find it very amusing. I will think of it, whenever I see the cartoon or stuff toys selling in department stores.


Will miss you!!! Hahaha!!!

我是败犬吗?

Today is my 37th birthday. Happy Birthday To Me!

Just saw an DM, we use for promoting the drama, 败犬女王. Then I start to think, am I a 败犬? 37 years old woman with no money, not famous, not super successful in my career, not married and no boyfriend.

However, I think I am very wealthy! My first fortune is I have all the time I want! Meaning freedom! I can do things I want to do, go places I want to go, enjoy what I try my hands on. Hahaha! Though lonely sometimes, at least my calender is empty. I can log in my activities all I want! Hahaha!

My second fortune will be all my friends!!! They are always here for me, whenever I need them. Travel, or Meals, or just phonecall, I can always count on them for consoling touch, or just a 'How are you?'. This is heartwarming enough to keep me going.
Third fortune will be my knitting skill, hehehe. This may sound a bit stupid, but I love to knit and make handicrafts. Every year, I will make something for the friends for Christmas, or birthday. It might be mass produced, or just small items, they are still done stitch by stitch by me. I really feel appreaciated, when my friends said, 'Thank you Carmen. This is so nice!!!'
Hmm... I think my treasure chest are quite full now.
So am I still a 败犬?

啊!我不要!!!

Never thought I will have the chance or attend concert like this. As I do not follow classic music, I do not really recognise anyone of them, or know their songs. When Mak asked me if I know a blind singer, I told him I only know Stevie Wonder. Hahaha!

Anyway, we managed to get us tickets to attend the concerts at Bontanic Garden last night. I was told that the tickets were not for sale, so lucky of us, we can still go as a group. Kelvin, Nana, Queenie, Valenssa, Anita and Me.


We were told that it was an open air concert, picnic kind sitting on the grass, watching from the big screen. The Swan Lake area are where the guests seated with long gown and nice make up. (Ahem... I do not envy them actually. It rained heavily earlier and the weather was humid. Imagine long dress with heavy make up, open air with no air con... Don't think I will enjoy...)

Tried taking a picture using my camera, to see if I can capture something from the screen. Cool! Clear some more, but I know security staffs are standing everywhere to catch people from illegal recording, I kept my camera unless we took pictures of ourselves.



I was lucky that we found a spot directly facing the screen with no blockage in front. Haha! I was quite worried that the place will be too muddy to sit on. Just been too MayDay Concert in April, so I can foresee muddy grass, and hot weather. Fortunately, the place we seat on was not as muddy as we thought, though still very wet. Anita's mat saved all our butts. Haha! Singapore Bontanic Garden even provide KFC for all the people, and ice cream! Really having a great time at the picnic.

I thought I might fall asleep during the concert, as I mentioned earlier, I do not really appreciate Classic music. Other than 'Time to say Good Bye', I am not familiar of any other songs. Surprisingly, I had a great time listening to the flute performance, beautiful singing of Andrea Bocelli, and the whole orchestra. Maybe I should go and buy myself an Andrea Bocelli's CD and start listening. I might start to fall in love with Classic music.

'Time~~ to say Good Bye~~~'

Planning

I am planning on something now... Working hard to make it make true.

加油!

Went for early Mother's Day High Tea with my family last Sunday. As Mama always love Chinese Food, we decided to try out Zhou's Kitchen at Anchor Point. Reviews I got are quite good, so we decided to give it a try.
The choices on the high tea are really good. Not only you can choose Dim Sum, there are dishes like Prawn Paste Chicken, Peanut Pork Trotter, Sweet and Sour Fish to choose from too. I mean they have more, but I am just naming a few. My Papa simply love the Pig Trotter, and we order more than 3 helpings on the same dish. Anyway, it's unlimited order, so you can choose to eat as much as you like.


The staff there are very friendly and has the initative to do things to make the customers happy. When the manager saw Coco preparing milk for Valene, she came over and offered us hot water. And when Valene is crying, she will asked if my neice feels too hot, and need the fan? We are quite impressed with them. Nice food, nice services.
Basically, cost about $18+++ per pax, so after all the tax, it's about $20 per pax. Reasonable right? Maybe next time I try the dinner menu, heard from the manager that they will make changes every now and then for their custiomers,
