To all denim lovers

Eclecticism is selling J Brand, Blue Cult and 575 denim at $99 after discount! Bread and Butter is selling 575 denim at about $300++. I was thrilled. Finally acquired a pair of 575. Contemplating whether I should get J Brand too. Argh. This is bad. I have like 10 pairs of cult denim already. I don't even have 10 asses.


Bought another Free People dress at 60% off, FCUK dress and skirt at 70% off and GUESS waist denim shorts at 40% off. How am I gonna survive GSS?

veggie and me

We went to Quality Hotel's vegetarian restaurant for my supervisor's farewell dinner (she's vegetarian). Steamboat. The minute we stepped into the restaurant, 1 of my colleague was telling me how sinful she felt about eating meat because monks were eating there. It pretty much taste the same as other steamboats (the no. of times I've eaten steamboat can be counted with 1 hand). Their mock chicken tasted like nuggets to me =)

The team of Quality Engineers at Baxter. Mister tall man is trying to look as normal as possible. Who will ever know that he towers 2.06m from this photo. hahahha

5 and more to come

Nithe's definition of never eat before Chinese food = My Humble House. My heart literally skipped a beat. This is even more scarily accurate than Mellben. No more guessing the next time. I'll juz need to think of a place and Nithe will be able to decipher. And his skill took exactly 5 years to develop.

Even though I've been there many years back when they juz opened, I've yet to try their new menu since voted top 100 restaurants in the world by St. Pellegrino in 2007. At least now I can proudly say that we've tried good food. heehee.. (PS. The bear is not a gift. It's juz an accessory on the sofa.)

I LOVE LOVE LOVE their concept of high chairs (seat height is the same but the back rest goes to about 2m high). It juz feels different from normal ones. And we managed to get corner sofa seats, away from all those business entertainment.

The place isn't very camera friendly due to the romantic/dim lights. Photos doesn't justify the delicious food. Oh well..

it started with this

4 years ago, I hand stitched this cross stitch as our 1st anniversary present.

consumer item or asset?

A church friend has been posted to Switzerland for work for a minimum of 1 year and he passed his car to Nithe =) So what it's a weekend car. Better than nothing and not that we drive alot in the day. But now that we have to pay for petrol and top up the cash card, the car must be used wisely. Consideration for petrol consumption, expensive per hour car park etc.

i need a push

It's puzzling to see how some people simply know what they want in life and people like me are juz sitting around waiting for the next big thing to hit me. There's so much I wished to accomplish during this attachment but it seems to be all talk and no action. All I'm looking forward to is the next holiday where I need not drag my ass out of bed at 630am.

my fav OC duplet

in BANGS! Fabulous =)

no more feeling GREY

I'm so thrilled! Gossip Girls, Grey's Anatomy, House and One Tree Hill are all BACK =)

and so it's fixed

She's tendering her resignation tomorrow after her boss comes back from her 2 weeks leave. 1 month after tomorrow, I'll be left all alone. No more 'going back to school', only official leaves and MCs. Luckily I managed to get her to approve my special sem (out of office on both Monday and Tuesday mornings for 6 weeks) so whoever takes over me has no choice. But I may have to use my official leaves to go back to school for real lessons. Oh well, we'll juz have to see how her boss accepts the news tomorrow.

project apple

My supervisor juz dropped a bomb on me. There's 80% chance she is gonna tender this Friday. To do what? Pluck apples at a farm in NEW ZEALAND for 3 MONTHS! I'm not kidding. Apparently her auntie, who works at ADECCO, found her this assignment which pays NZD$35 per bucket. Basically she has to pay everything and she'll only receive pay in terms of buckets. Somehow she calculated that at the end of 3 months, she will not only be able to pay for the trip, there should also be a profit of about NZD$4000. According to her, the thought of leaving has been on her mind for awhile but there wasn't any pulling factor. This opportunity allows her to take a long deserved break and set her life's direction. At 28, she still isn't sure of her career path. That some sort of consolation to myself.

This means I'll be boss-less for the last month of my attachment. I seriously hope that I won't need to report directly to her boss. I'll die. No more 'going back to school'. I must save my official leaves for then.
