happy xmas and smashing happy new year

the past 10 days has been freaking busy for me. but happily busy, not blardy busy. =)


been busy meeting my sweet surprises from hong kong. herman, jerry and (ediot) dai hark.
thanks for the Sweet Surprise guys! i'm so touched that people still make the effort to come all the way down to this boring island to celebrate my birthday and xmas wit me. =) really happy!
thanks for springing up at my lobby downstairs after a call from bern to meet up! haha. although i kinda saw it coming, but it is still a pleasant surprise. =)


i was a tourist once again, exploring all parts of s'pore within 8 days.
i think there're gonna be many 'thanks' in this post, so bear wit it yeah. lol.

Thanks for spending xmas and my birthday with me jerry, herman and lucy! keke.

jun hai ho yau sum!
and happy belated birthday to herman again, sorry for not getting you a gift in s'pore. (how to when i hafta meet you guys everyday?!LOL)
we hope you had a pleasant surprise yesterday. you better heart the tee okay!


i heart the instax mini. =) handy and cute! infact, i've already started clicking the next day heee. thanks dai b jai! and the card, though messy but cute.


thanks for the gifts too, jerry. i think you heart ear-rings don't you? lol. that's a very cute script copied out of Love Actually. ediot, copy cat! haha. please remember, i do not apply lipstick! grrr. but i still like the gifts la.



yeey i've got tonnes of meiji and other random chocs now! i'm really turning into a ju pa! and thanks for the milk tea and hk mags. geee. it had been fun bringing you guys around and acting stupid with lucy. haha. not forgetting the 'HEY HEY!' jokes and dai hark's 'fan shau, tiu nei jau jao' lol.

it was great having breakfast in bed. haven't had that even when i'm on holiday overseas. somehow it reminds me of breakfast at tiffany's. hmm, no idea why though.



Home on xmas eve was okay, but not as good as i expected. bumped into crazee kiat who was damn high there.
no idea why, but i couldn't really recognise you initially. lol.



i'm sorry guys, didn't know both of you hate clubbing that much but not bad, can kao leng lui outside!hahaha.
stupid stanley kept giving me the 'eh, firxxxx is here tonight leh'. thank god his gf didn't hear that. phew.
i really should have went earlier and stayed all the way, the betta hits came back after the down period. grrrrr. not forgetting the heavy downpour got me drenched while reminding me that i should be at home enjoying the chills in bed.


lastly, thanks to my sis for getting me the agnes b. dog tag too! wheeeee! so happy =) keke.
i heart it!!

i've yet to get a gift for myself though. wonder what should i get? heeeee.
i wanna thank my ah ma and parents here for the ang baos. keke. now getting that ipod nano would be much easier! yeey!

and i just got this from stupid rong:


Effie™ thanks for making me feel like a tourist in boring s'pore. says:

karl rizzvibe™ - innocent mini cooper 1300 (1972) says:

karl rizzvibe™ - innocent mini cooper 1300 (1972) says:

and it just hit me that i'm officially a big 20 already! shux! i still wanna be 19!!! =(

feeling xmassy yet?

i hate to say this but the weather here really sucks bigtime. it ain't CNY yet i'm feel the heat. it's so damn hot here lah! how i wish i'm still in chilly hk, sigh..

and the x'mas list-for myself- is indeed longer this year. lets see:
  • agnes b. dog tag- i so want it.
  • ipod nano - which is a need not want actually, since my discman is giving me the byebyes.
  • mobile phone- that i still need. maybe RAZR pink or anyone please get me the liquid gold limited edition, D&G one?=(
  • ixus 55- which he has already got, grrrr.
  • that pair of jil stuart eyewear -which i still haven't got, or maybe paul frank ones?

omg. so many things to get, so lil money to afford. how how how?! instead of the esprit shirt my parents wanna get for me in hk, why not chip in for the ixus 55? heee. that shirt is a waste of money. i really need a better camey! this v2 is giving me the blurs which i can no longer tahan.

'where has all the money gone? far, far, away..'

stupid company of mine haven't paid me for november's hard work yet! and i can't work these coming weekends which up my chances of getting dismissed.

shite shite shite. what am i gonna do?! but hello, it's the festive season- and my supposedly special day, not hari raya or deepavali! grrrr. i'm so afraid of losing this job.

help me.

and i miss shopping in hk. or strolling. or taking peektures. or eating. or, whatever. anything and everything in hk. sob. i still regret falling sick there. waste my time. grunt.

i wanna go back. in january? but no, too soon.

have fun my classmates, who are going this jan. have fun shopping and working on the project together without me. while i'm stucked on this boiling hot island. =(

hei mong ho yi fan heung gong

bear wit me peeps,for this is a long post. as always. LOL.

i'm already missing hk. sigh. somehow the post-holiday syndrome has returned once again. since... last year end? this time was really fun wit lucy the cam whore aka real whore. oops just kidding! don't kill me. heeee.

you ought to be punished after bullying me there! hahaha.
this stupid lesbian still bullied me despite poor effie down wit flu and cough. it was so terrible that i had to give shenzhen a miss. not that i'm complaining, since i don't really wanna go for that shen zhen trip. keke.
anyways i heard it's a money-eating trip, having you waste extra cash, not on shopping but other rubbish. phew.


reached changi rather late around 8plus when we were slated for the 10.05am flight. as usual, we gotta wait for peeps for other flights to arrive before heading to our majestically big(not really actually) hotel and met up wit lucy and her parents there.



then that's where real fun starts... to Miu Gai aka temple st. and jade st. for some supa salty steam carrot cakes and then strolling and gawking at old posters,bangles,jades,'lau fa ngan's and some 'mao' generation stuff. then it's wanton mee for dinner! not forgetting honey dew sago dessert just opposite after.


met up wit our 'kao mou' the next day to yum cha for breakfast and then to wong tai sin. that's when my running nose started. spoiling my wonderful day. grrr.
miraculously, we bumped into my sis there. miraculously cos' she NEVER visits any temples. probably her friends forced her there. lol.

then we walk around their heartland mall before heading to TST to shop and then to harbourcity and then to makan at Prince Edward at some not so great food restaurant. but the dessert was good, dan tan.
i guess, cos' i had blocked nose by then and can't really taste it. *grunt*



due to the consumption of countless medicines, i slept like a log till around 3pm at the hotel while lucy and her parents went shenzhen and ma folks went out for breakfast and lunch. so pissed, wasted half a day lah!grrrr.
went out for lunch wit my parents again and then walked around TST, but didn't get to buy anything! sigh. but i had my haircut by this weird 'beach-boy' hairstylist. everyone was wit long sleeves, curly wurly hair and sneakers while he was wit neat,str8, cropped-hair, t-shirt and flip flops. utterly weird. lol.


wanted to get a perm but didn't in the end due to time constrain.
however, i was still rather undecided for the new change..
we had quite good food at this siu sek near kimberly and then it's back to the hotel for us...


met up wit the guys the next day. visited many places, Soho(where we took the supa long travellator), agnes b. la maison sur l'eau(really prettily done up!wit many lilies which lucy totally loves,many lovely bags and cameras which kong effie can't afford), suitman exhibit at Central(which is flooded wit philippino maids ten times of lucky plaza), Avenue of Stars(where we met mr bruce lee), Edison's Juice shop(finally a visit to my hubby's), Santa's village( where we performed our crazee antics) and adidas concept store.


before we could catch the 8pm fireworks and laser show, my parents called us back to MK where we had dinner together, followed by shopping at 'lui yan gai' and then, dessert at PE at the same dan tan shop!*faint* coincidentally, kenneth brought us back the same place.

after that, our tired legs brought us back to our hotel and a surprise greeted us.
a bag of suitman posters and stickers, tofu men, agnes b. catalogues, a camera pouch and 2 cards. =)
thanks pokemun! it's so nice of you to go through all that trouble. hahaha.

oh yeah we even managed to catch demonstrators in action. how kewl is that! lol. you never get to see that in s'pore okay!! apparently, they were protesting against some WTO stuff.

and herman, i still hate you for not calling me the most beautiful female in the world! hmph!practice favourism only. basket! hahaha.


after these 4 days, it is proven that leslee is a real crazee pervert. she loves to talk to frowning tofu every morning and night, loves to talk about piss, loves to dig her nose and lastly, loves to force me into taking photos wit her.



last of all, i <3 hk and the chilly weather!! brrrr. returning to spore really makes me perspire a damn lot.

told you this would be a long post. keke. and accompanied by many many pictures too!geeee. =p
