Sending her last journey...



It must be my super swollen and puffy eyes that allowed my new boss to gave me three days compassionate leave right on the spot on my first day of work.. Didn't want this to happen, but I'll promised to work extra hard in the future...as long I wouldn't have to go lunch with a group of guys...


Feel so outcasted...



I was packing my clothes just now... when I saw popo's clothes and bags... I broke down again..
It's a painful experience of losing someone close to you...


Kept holding back my tears at work..my contact lense were so dry that I couldn't see the screen clearly...



I still need time... seriously..




Short Note: Gg back to Batam tmr.. on a short hiatus...

Tribute to my Po Po....

Independent Learner....

She parted with her family when she was 14 years old only with her sister along with her.
She got to know my grandfather, both of them got married during Japanese Occupation and have to constantly hide so as to avoid the Jap Soldiers.

She learnt sewing all by herself and from then on help people to tailor clothes and do a business all by herself to feed the four kids...

My only popo..........

My first bolster was sewed by her. She loves to make dresses for me and I would be proud of it cause they were really nice, and my other cousins does not have it.

My angpow will be slightly more than others last time. She would give me rupiahs to spend whenever I'm back to buy things I like or to gamble during CNY.

I was a easily jealous kid last time.....

I would often asked her" Who does she dote on?" and she will replied:"All of you"

But yet I would force her to name me the top 3 and made sure I'm inside, that's how jealous I was. I feel happy when she mentioned my name. And I knew she really did dote on me alot alot...


A great cook....

Not only good in tailoring, she cooked nice food too.

From Hakka Yong Tau Foo to Popiah, to Siew Mai, Ngoh Hiang, Mee Soto, Curry Chicken... Begedil (Indonesian's style potato croquette), nonya dumplings, longan tofu... and many many more..

She loves cooking, she dun mind standing at the kitchen for hours just to make dishes for us. And whenever I got cravings, I would just tell her and the next few days I would get to eat it.

She made the nicest Nescafe coffee.. She would often make it for me.

When I'm back she would often filled up the whole bottle of water and keep reminding me to drink water.

That's just her, always dun mind the hardwork and just to make us happy and healthy....


A great friend...

She can be a great friend too... I remembered when I got bullied in school, I would talked to her about it and she would entertained me even though it's late at night.

She would gossiped with me too about relatives cause she know I would help her to keep secrets.


A cute popo....

She loves small teddy bears... I remembred giving her a few of my teddy bears... she would like me talk to them... I even made her hug Dabao...

She's short and have cute little eyes, I would often give her hug when I'm back.


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Popo had a bad fall last September, She had to undergo an operation for her leg. Back then, I was still at China doing my internship.

Few days before the operation, I called back and asked her not to worry for the operation, instead she asked me not to worry for her, she's fine and it's not painful anymore.

That's her again... she dun like to be a burden to others, she just so strong...

On the day of operation, I hid myself in the company's toilet in China and cried in the cubicle.. praying that she's fine.

She got out of the operation theatre safely, but yet from then onwards, her mind was not in a very conscious state. Sometimes she would just says things which made no sense and sometimes she would be fine.

Slowly, she became weaker and weaker, her memory's failing and she couldn't eat much. The last time I saw her was in March when I went back wtih my friends. She was so thin and She can't talk much.


Just now, I received news that she passed away.............


Words can't express how I am feeling now, Sad? Devastated?... maybe helpless? Especially when I can't be in Batam now and I'm starting my first day of work tmr which means I can't go back straight away tmr...

Words also can't express how great she was to us too...


Up till now, I still can't believe that she's gone... There's still so much things I want to tell her, I haven't show her my graduation photo and I haven't give her big ang pow for her bd at CNY since I just started working.

I just can't sleep, when I close my eyes, I thought of her, thought of the past.

I know many of my friends asked me to let her go cause it might be a release for her. But tears just kept flowing and I can't stop it.


So I can just write out my thoughts here...


I missed u popo really... I missed u terribly and I love you alot alot.. I'm sorry for the times when you are lonely at home and I'm not free to talk to you.. I'm really sorry.



You're the best popo I ever had, no one can replace you in my heart.. seriously..






Rest in peace Popo and I hope that you will be as happy as ever in Heaven.






Short Note: This is worse than heart broken.....

Pre-Working Depression....


Maybe I've slacked too much, maybe I've adapted to slacking life.. or maybe I'm just hope that I can slack and at the same time have input coming in....

I suddenly have this Pre-working Depression... argggh shucks..so reluctant to start my first day of work tmr... :(

No more Selyn to wrk with me, no more easy job and no more internet to use...


I kept complaining to bf just now that I hope that I don't need to work tmr... hahah FAT HOPE.. I already signed the employment contract..so by hoook or by crook I must at least work for one mth...

HAHA jiayou ba Shirley... maybe the workplace will be fun?? hahahaha..


Well, knowing that I will start work tmr... I packed my days with activites again.....

After steamboat it's Wii time again..this time round, we challenged the bowling game..and my arms and shoulder ached so much... faintz... I really ping le.... hahahaha..love that game...


---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It's Ben & Jerry's Free Cone Day today!! Totally forgot about it until my lousy cousin XH reminded me...

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Bf was kind enough to come to Tampines 1 to meet me for dinner upon hearing how tired I am and how my feet ached. Haha.


We had Kim Gary for dinner.. Yumz






I loved that Mayo Pickled Fries....


We shopped around Tamp 1 and I kept complaining to bf how sian it was to work tmr.. Poor him... and that's not all.. I'm so going to bug him again when he call me later at night hahaha.

Need to sleep early liaoz... Goodbye moody Tues....



Short Note: A brand new start once again yawnzz...

Where my money goes to.....


Yest afternoon, me and X-tin attended the Anna Sui Tea Party at Bugis. The response was overwhelmed.. coz the counter were full with people... too much until that it's abit squeezy with everyone crowding around the counter. To the extent that me and x-tin thought... "That's it, let's go."


The feeling of meeting up ur long-best friend was great. Even though we each had different characters, different problems in life... but yet everytime when we meet, there was no distance at all...we would talk for hours, non-stop with a wide vareity of topics... No matter how long we didn't meet before that, all that does not matter anymore.









(pics courtesy from Ms X-tin)

Darling, please remb our date on 7th of May? I will wait for you at the atm hahaha.. :)

Oh yes, along the way while we were queuing in the toilet.. I met the "dollies" gang which happened to be my dear lousy cousin Xiaohan's friend... What a place to meet haha.. but anyway.. finally i get to see them REAL life... wohoooooo... Hope that next time if we happened to bump again TOILET would not be the place haha...


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This afternoon after so much procastination, I finally picked up my lazy bones and did a thorough SPRING cleaning of my wardrobe... I had so much clothes that overflowed everywhere, chairs, boxes and even tables. So you can roughly imagine how jialat it is... I have to lai hui alot of times just to compile them all in the living room... haha..






This may look orite... wait till u see more....





Still ok onli rite?





Tadah!! that's how high it was... and no these are not all.. I still have one big box of it and not to mention those still at the laundry basket hahaha...

When my mama and papa saw it they were like.. "you see, that's where all your money goes to, thousands of dollars." Haha... yes buying clothes is my zhi ming shang.. I simply can't resist it... especially when it's on SALE. Freak man.. I feel like I'm the same as the character in "Confession of a shopaholic" just that the stuffs I bought are very much on the lower end?

I managed to throw away a big bag of clothes... and the rest I decided to sell it away... coz most of the clothes were so new.... some I did not even wear before, it would be so wasteful to throw it away rite?


Thus, I am going to set up a blogshop just to sell away all the clothes... as you know Mrstea is now broke, she needs input... rest assured, the prices will be damn cheap I promised.... starting from $2? haha


So stay tunned for more info... and please if you guys have any plus sized frens roughly my size (ahem) or medium size fren, please intro the blog to them muahahahahaha.


Alright as for now, let me now go work on it...

家






For those who haven't watched this advert, you may want to take a look at it. Good job to MCYS's advert production team... their adverts always nv fails to touch me.


"Little imperfection makes up Perfection"



Saw the chinese version together with daddy and at the end of the advert is showed a "家“

Below was what daddy said:


Him: "The word 家 got ten strokes, not easy to write, it means that it's really not easy to build up a family."


Yes, a family is really not easy to build up... lots of love, patient and time....


I think right now... I'm still not ready for it...........




Short Note: Not mentally prepared at least...

Shinjuku Incident's Gala Premier...

On the 30th of March, Monster and me was invited to the gala premier of Shinjuku Incident. We actually got the tickets from Kbox, mainly because we took up the package. Besides being able to sing for three hours, we get a finger food free, a jug of water free, a 10bucks kbox voucher, two movie tickets and also the gala premier session whereby we are able to see Jackie Chan and Daniel Wu up close and also a buffet dinner. All at the price of $48 for two pax... Damn worth it!!

So damn good rite... haha jian dao bao le... Actually before we went for the gala premier we thought it would be a small session outside Golden Village at Vivo, but never do we expect that it's actually at the center stage, with red carpet, buffet dinner and within the barricades.
We really did enjoyed ourselves that night... It's Photos time...



Photos time!!!



Notebook....




The tickets were presented in a passport form... so creative...





The red area will be the area that we will be in... nearer to the stars than the public




This is only one quarter of the crowd that day... there were so much people...






That's lao niang at the red carpet....






The stars arrived... so near....







It's Jackie Chan's bd....a mini-celebration for him...





For those who love Daniel Wu...





For those who love Mrstea and her bf.... hahaahaa





The bears were cute seriously...





This lady was really friendly... She asked me to take a photo with her....





And then she requested to take with both our partners... They were real high and happy when they see Jackie Chan...


The food was yummy that night... nice refreshment and after that we proceeded to the movie... Shinjuku Incident was really nice.. even though some parts were real gore(my fave) but I loved the plot. Even though that day after work I'm so tired, but this movie really caught my attention. However in my opinion, I feel that Jackie Chan could be more notorious that this... haha...



Overall, it's a nice and well organized Gala premier, we really did enjoy ourselves that night.



Will be going over to JB tmr morning with Cousin Xiaohan and her Sis... I really need some shopping therapy.


Did I mentioned I hate my hair? It looked so sucky now... seriously..



Short Note: Maybe I should really do it....

The past few days have been slacking at home.. didn't know there's so much things to do at home that I wouldn't feel bored at all... Now who say staying at home is boring?
