a good start for a new year?

I have soooooo much in my head to blog about; but nevertheless, ever since 2010 arrived, i haven't got the time to blog anymore =(

Lately I have been keeping late nights; not because I was out somewhere but I ended work late and reached home late. Honestly, I loved to have some personal time to myself everyday; no matter how late I ended the day.

Hopefully, I will be able to end work early tomorrow... cos I have got lovely pics to show >_

Is business a good start for a new year? xD i am contradicting myself; still, I am happy that I finally felt that I lived my life to the fullest each day when I returned home exhausted. =)

Dedicated This To My Sweetie...

Monday 11:45pm

 Before I actually start blogging, I added the time I started blogging... since I know that by the time I've finished the entry, it will be tuesday. =.=

Weeeelllll; today's a special day for my friend ---> Its Amelia's Birthday!! ^^ and we had a GOOD time last saturday karaoke~ing... Melia invited me to her party; a clebration which took place in a very "懐かしい" 場所... =) Cuppage Plaza's Family Karaoke. Honestly, I haven't been anywhere near there after I graduated from Poly.

Anyway, we had FUN and I really mean a hell lot of FUN!!! Furthermore, since I do not know Melia's friends well, @first I expected it might be a little awkward... But they are really fun and nice! ^^

Everything started by hmm.. "hihi " (acknowledgments) then drinking~~ Melia kept passing me the controller -- but haha i too shy to sing lor!!! xD

After a couple of drinks...

We start taking PICTURES...

Nevertheless, toku looked tipsy...

No matter how many times we re-took, his eyes looked small..

Finally Bigger eyes...

Group Pics...

The cake was brought in earlier since some of Melia's friends (including me)

needed to leave early..

We sang 4 different versions of Birthday Song

(English/Mandarin/Cantonese/Japanese)

*****Lovely Kisses' blessed from friends...*****

and Another...

I supposed Toku was having fun being both our waiter and cameraman...

I am glad that I managed to celebrate Melia's birthday this year; since I did not get the chance to really celebrate a wild one for her since A&E days... But dunno why, kinda upset when Melia said that Toku's leaving for Japan this wednesday... Hmm... he really become "one of us"; our friend since time past... and I am sure Melia and I will miss those "chiong" days we & Toku had... I hope he will visit sg soon..

After the ktv session, jason and I went Cathay for our movie...

We caught.....

A very nice show yet quite an unexpectable ending. Well FIRSTLY, unexpectable since she (the actress) did not end up with her ex-husband in the end. And secondly, i puked (urrrrgghhh..) since I had too much a drink and too fast, earlier on... (>_<)"""

Nevertheless, I enjoyed the witty chat throughout the show; and I must apologise to Jason, whom waited for me for melia's celebration to end...

Slimmy...

Mummy waited for me @Lot 1 after work; and I went to meet her after my meal with my colleagues... I felt guilty cos I let her waited since she did not call me when she reached CCK... >.<

I bought BEDSHEETS, a bolster for myself and some cushion covers - for the sofa... =) Sometimes I think I am finding reasons to shop =.=""" But I really enjoyed the night with mummy, cos it had been quite a LONG time ago ever since we last went out together... Its always nice to have mummy shopping around with you together, despite all that nagging! =)

Trying a new product out lately...

Slimming Cream for my flabby bulging tummy!!!

The Main Attraction is Liposuction Effect without PAIN! and Slimming Concentrate for cellulite reduction...

I really hope it works !!! =)

Life Is.....

My post is delayed as once again, I am crippled by all those HTML codes and stuffs... People using my IE could not read my posts... I have realised it just yesterday when I happened to surf it with my IE instead of my default mozilla browser. I've just amended the codes -  using my limited computer knowledge and surfing blogskins for some kind-souls aids...


I wept yesterday; after I watched an "OCTO" documentary... I was upset and disturbed by what I saw...

And THIS!

*

*

*

was what I've seen...

Yes... it is not some "JU-ON" or other horror flick pic, but a live 5-year old girl... She is little Julia Wetmore, and her story was shown as a documentary on OCTO channel. Interested readers can go to http://www.julianawetmore.net on her live story.

Honestly, I've been questioning myself since after I watched the documentary, NOT because I pitied her... But I've been asking myself again and again, HOW MANY TIMES ARE WE GRATEFUL FOR WHAT WE HAD?

HAVE WE BEEN DOING OUR SELF-REFLECTIONS?

The answer is "NO"! ---> Simply because I am also like anyone of you out there, grumbling and grumbling about how fucking fucked-up my life is; neither being satisfied with what I had currently... Photoshop cannot help to make the life of little julie better; since this is REALITY and she must live in such hell whereby getting shocking stares from the public, nevertheless, leading her cheerful and optimistic life...

Are we actually doing the same? I doubt so, since I am so self-conscious of my figure, my looks, thinking how ugly my mum had born me with a big nose, too flat faced etc.etc blah blah blah *as the list might go on*

What is the actual definition of UGLY anyway? Shouldn't all those RICH artistes and people spend the plastic surgery on such people who needed them much better than us? We should always praise the lord for giving us a healthy life, a normal face and a normal life...

************************

Life is full of unfairness, misery and is just like full of reflections.... and most of the time, we are blinded because of the "ripples" on the surface and we couldn't see beneath the bottom... I had 7 stitches when I fell down and hit my chin, which still leaves a scar till now.. The throbbing pain is unbearable, but for a 5-year old kid going for surgery every 3 months; which is worse?

The documentary sounded like an AWAKENING CALL for me... Waking me up from the surroundings; going back to the reality...

Being ambitious is good, but too much of it overflows like water in a cup; and becomes GREED.... I am really thankful now for what I am now; what I have and owned; that I am still living each and every day and every moment I spend right now, i will definitely cherish everything...

*Perfume Passion*

My Bold Statement

*** I am a perfume FREAK!!***

Honestly I am not sure why, especially since when I've got a really sensitive nose, and I suffer from "Sinusitis" (short form - sinus) but it doesn't stop my ravish passion for perfumes... I really indulge in buying them, erhem.. or should I put it as collecting them.

I do not have specific peference for the type of Scent - since I've got quite a couple of different types of fragrance. I could still recall my very first time buying a perfume. I bought my very first bottle from a shop in Jurong Entertainment Center when I was secondary 1 . It was a miniature perfume, and come to think of it now, I am kinda pissed off with the seller whom sold it -- since I understand now that miniatures are actually slashed from perfume samplers... I bought a Versace Red Jeans then, thinking how "COOL" it was, with the mini metal tin. But "bleah", it rusted all the way down to the bottom a few years after keeping it. The very second bottle was quite a big one, those 150ml kind (JPG machine) received from my classmates during my 13th birthday celebration. Nevertheless, it was stolen by "a few good friends" of mine when I invited them to my house. *curses!*

I was kind of upset when it got stolen and it was after quite some years later, when I was around 17 and got the spending power, that I worked and splurge on perfumes...

************************************

Recently, I splurged on perfumes again... *blushes*

Not one, but added THREE more to my collection...

And,

The One Which I liked the most..............................

Yups..... it's LOLA, from Marc Jacobs!! I was roaming through Robinsons aimlessly at that point of time, and I did not intend to shop, but the bright colors and simple packaging caught my eye as it was displayed really just SIMPLE yet colorful and noticeable. The sales assistant attended and I sampled the fragrance of the perfume.

The actual attention was not only about the packaging, but it was the actual bottle itself...

Dont'cha think that its really lovely?

The bottle is a little love-shaped, purple in color with the golden part molded like gold strings attached to it, with the most outstanding, marvelous cap design...

Taking a glimpse from the top of the bottle:

What a lovely sight! And "LOLA" a simple yet UNIQUE name for it...

Besides, this beauty comes with a little additional something...

I dunno honestly whether it is a free sample when you purchase a big bottle or not, but it was given to me from the sales assistant (raffles city robinsons) -- Marc Jacob's DAISY shower gel and moisturizing cream set with a miniature DAISY perfume... Hahaha, please don't hesitate to bug him for a free sample if you intended to buy, but if he doesn't give you a little something, maybe is because I am more CHIO ba... LOL!

p/s: The floral design on daisy box resembles those nail art flowers! kekeke

***

The next two bottles aren't as eye-catching but their fragrance are just as wonderful --> not "sexy" feeling, but one is quite floral and the other, refreshing and sporty...

I bought this Paul Smith ROSE from Changi Terminal 3... Despite having beautifully decorated bottle/design (which is why I did not take much pictures about it), spraying this babe teleports you from reality into a rose field!!! Very feminine, yet light and lovely perfume... despite its plain designs; is worthy of you indulging in its rose sensation... It also comes with a rose-design pouch, for you to keep your perfume bottle inside, which alternatively you may use it to keep your sunglasses/small accessories?!

Yeap, the very last bottle I invested on was what as seen in the attached picture...

***Burberry's The Beat***

Most recent perfume launched by Burberry's, I was quite fascinated with the television commercial before I actually went down to perfume shop to source for it. I got it together with Paul Smith's Rose at Terminal 3; Simple classic design from Burberry's, its evergreen Burberry's trademark pattern makes it just "BURBERRY". Offering a more refreshing scent, The Beat is one for a hectic lifestyle like the city beat.
