Teenager Weekend

Man. I'm old.

Totally shagged out after a 'packed to the max' program filled weekend!

Friday: Club 21 Sale (AGAIN!) with Ba Ne Ne
Met Yona for early dinner
Back to Yona's place with BNN for MJ with Jaime
MJ ended about 1am
Proceeded to KBox
Sang till 3am

Saturday: Woke up in the afternoon
Attempted to do some housework (Failed of course, as usual BC aka Mr Ah Fang did the work)
Met Yona, Germaine, Ms P, FK for dinner @ Min Jiang. It was Yona's treat as she had huge ass bonus this year!
Proceeded to OOSH for drinks.
Went to Zouk after for more drinks and an attempt at dancing. (Failed, the music is so not my thing)

Sunday: As a nice Christian girl, woke up to go to church in the morning
Met Gi and BNN for plan and execute surprise Bday party for Ben (AKA HUAT)
Bought Indian food for dinner (at Jaggi's!) And as usual bought way way too much.

*How do you tell its too much? Its when the boss and his wife kept sniggering as the three of us struggledto carry, i swear, about 5kg worth of food to the car. And when i asked him, "Is it too much?" The boss went (with a shake of the head) " A little bit EXTRA" whahahaha*

We then proceeded to SICC to collect the Bday cake and had snacks (Curry Puff) for the road.
Back to Gi and Ben's to prepare the food. At which point Angel had already put up the decorations and was
sleeping on the couch .hahah
Entertained ourselves while waiting for the rest to come by having tea and listening to Angel's love exploits.
Ate up a storm after surprising Ben
Zonked after eating too much, we all sat around and bitched.

Its a packed weekend. I feel like a teenager. But at the same time, totally reminded myself that I was not!

Pics of Saturday! (Sun ones to come soon)

Cute Baby

My dear friend Pearl, AKA Zhen Zhu, whom I mocked and bullied and love so dearly...is NOW A MOM!!

The reality so did not set in when she was preggers. Obviously cos the stupid woman still looked damn good and SLIM.

From the time when she was talk of the town in VJ, till now, mother of cute baby Shane. Pearlie Wurlie, total Yummy Mummy.

Check out how cute Shane is...





I think we terrorised Shane too much that day. Pearl said he had nightmares that night! Oh dear.

Is this it?

So, we spend a large part of our lives pursuing. Pursuing wealth, status, love and everything else that falls into our path along the way.

In essence, pursuing what we think would make us happy.

But, after we acheive all that, what else? We stop to ask ourselves, is this it? Is there more? Should there be more?

Man, there is no ending to all this. Which is why its a pursuit. You never really get it. (Got this insight from the movie The Pursuit of Happyness).

Depressing epiphany.

Which is why, I'm gonna try to stop. Try being the operative word. So instead of asking myself, "Is this it?"

I can say, " This is it!" (ok ok, maybe after I get the miu miu bag hahaha)

Try?

OBJECT OF DESIRE

PRESENTING THE MIU MIU COFFER BAG

Bloody Connie Yeow has it in black. Hate her.

I like Money

Money is great! It buys you nice stuff, allows you to take cabs everywhere, pays for massages, pedicures, good food and wine...and SO MUCH MORE!!!

Sometimes, I wish I was born swimming in money, or married someone swimming in money.Guess NOT. haha.

A famous local socialite was once asked: "What's the secret of your success? " (meaning, how did you, an ah lian turned SQ girl become a Hermes-toting, Patek Phillipe wearing rich tai tai?). Her answer? "Never marry a local man."

Classic.

As I now live from hand to mouth, spending whatever I can after paying off card bills, loans and trying to contribute to my parents as well as now my own family, I realised, with some amount of surprise, that I am HAPPY! How weird. Since I don't tote no Hermes bag, no overpriced Franck Muller watch adorning my wrist, and not zooming off in my SLK. But I'm still happy!! God really works in his mysterious ways, teaching us to appreciate what we have.

Yup, much as I still have not-so-secret hopes of my husband making big bucks so I can be like abovementioned socialite, I think this current situation suits me.

At the risk of sounding pathetically cliche, there are the little things that can make you happy. And since I'm a queen of lists, here is a short one:

THINGS THAT MAKE ME HAPPY:

1. Losing weight
2. Some bitch that I don't like gaining obscene amounts of weight (hahah)
3. Chatting with Andrea on the phone
4. 4pm "Hoegarden" breaks with FK
5. Talking nonsense with Yona and making her laugh (yes, you ARE my number one fan! )
6. My husband occasionally buying me little treats. The funny man bought me a cool board game called BLOKUS which I have been hankering after. And he even played it with me!! (He hates these games)
7. Mahjong sessions with Ben and Gi
8. Finding Yvonne again. : ) (Babe, I missed you and am SO glad you're back!)
9. When Connie Yeow comes home to visit
10. Talking and greeting DN in our secret 'coo' language.
11. When clients pay us on time
12. Getting my salary
13. Looking and playing with cute babies. (esp Ashley!!)
14. Buying things for my parents, and bringing them out for huge meals.
15. Singing KTV and making fun on MT for making up her own music. WHAHAHAH
