A sWeEt SuRpRiSe


Suddenly, I felt so fortunate and loved. I have a doting boyfriend, a group of close friends who love me for who I am and a caring family. Well, I always thought I am just an ordinary member in the family. Although I am the eldest, I feel that I am not showing good examples to my siblings. Picking up smoking at a young age, always stay out late and being rebellious were the bad image I protrayed in front of my family. I always feel that nobody understand me at all. I am just an outcast and people who befriend me are just out to make use of me. That's me and my feelings in the past.


After a few years, people grow up and their thinking change. So do I. Gradually, I have matured and realised life is afterall not so bad. It all depends on how I wanna live my life. I started to appreciate the people around me and the things they did for me. I am glad that I was given a chance to improve myself. It's really comforting to know there are still people who believe in me.


You all must be wondering what made me so emotional suddenly. Here comes the reason why. This is what I saw when I came home this morning on my table.


A present from my sister



It's an orange bangle watch



Nice, right?



A little birthday card with sweet wishes



On the cover of the card, not too sure whether you all can see, there are two arrows pointing to the words. First arrow was pointing to the words Slim! Slim! Slim! with the words "Your goal" written by my sister. Well,my sister knew I am very weight-conscious and always wanna slim down. Another arrow was pointing to the cartoon pig with the word "Me" which indicates my sister. She is born in the year of pig and she loves piggy cartoons which explains why she refer the cartoon pig to herself. Keke... In the little card, this is what she wrote...


"Hi! Surprised to receive your birthday gift so early? Hope I'm the first! No lah, give you your gift first in case you are not at home again. Haha... you know what I mean! I chose this gift & card specially for you! The gift can compliment your tan and the card suits you 100%! Haha... HAPPY BIRTHDAY!"


I am so touched by this little gesture from my younger sister. It's really very thoughtful of her. Dear Jace, thanks so much for the birthday gift and early birthday wishes. I like the gift very much. And for your info, you are indeed the first one who gave me the birthday present and wishes. Thanks!

Here comes the many nice photos taken on Friday when I met up with the girls. After our dinner, we went to Devilsbar to continue to have more fun. Well, all of us enjoyed ourselves that night. It's great to see the girls again. As for those who couldn't turn up for the gathering for some reasons, its just too bad that you all missed the fun. Friday's gathering was indeed a very fruitful one. We chatted and shared a lot among ourselves. We pieced every little details together and found truths. All I can say is when it comes to friends, always be sincere and truthful. If you gonna be a stupid bitch who fake around, please stay away. Before I end, I wanna let the pretty darlings who turned up for the gathering on Friday know that I love them and treasure their friendship. Friends Forever!!!


Ladies power!

Me and Chococat dear

An aLL GirLs' gAtHeRiNg


It's finally Friday tomorrow and I am feeling very excited about it. I have actually organised a gathering to meet up with all my dearest girlfriends for a dinner cum chit-chat cum gossip session tomorrow. Come to think of it, it had been some time since we last met up. And whenever we arrange to meet up, it's that same old famous place ----> Cineleisure's Long John Silver (Not too sure whether it's advisable to indicate the location or not, that's why it's in tiny fonts). Last week when I sent a mass sms to the ladies about the gathering, Lyana was the first one to reply :"Don't tell me it's Long John again hor." Well, the initial plan was to have dinner at a noodle house called Silk Road at Millenia Walk. But I couldn't managed to make a reservation for so many of us so we got to meet up at the lao di fang aka Long John Silver instead. Anyway, it doesn't really matter where we meet up because we will still be able to enjoy ourselves de. I was telling Apple when we organise the next gathering, the sms sent out to the ladies will be "Yo gals, let's gather on XX/XX/XXXX(date). Same time. Same place." Short & sweet right? Kekeke... I am looking forward to meet up with them tomorrow. It's gonna be fun! =)

OpEn oR nOt? BaN oR dUn BaN?


News of opening not one but two casinos in Singapore splashed the newspapers and TV news these few days. Just a month ago, the news were on extending the smoking ban to more public places like coffee shops and hawker centres. Though its two different issues but to me they are the same.


In both issues, there are bound to have people who have different views. There will be people who support the idea of opening a casino in Singapore but there's also people who object to it. Same theory goes to the ban of smoking to more public places. Non-smokers will support the ban while the smokers claimed it as a ridiculous move. If you don't want people to smoke, might all means stop the sale of cigarettes. By increasing the price of the cigarettes( Imagine it's only $2.20 per pack of 10 when I started smoking) and extending the smoking ban to more places( Might include clubs & pubs too) will only make the people frustrated and helpless. Why? It's because we will have to follow the rules set by the government. Quoted from this blog (Click to view) I came across when I was searching for more info, it says :" They will say that everyone has been given a chance to speak (which is true), then they will say they have taken the comments into consideration (which is also true), and then they will do it (which can be seen)." Well-said isn't it?


Anyway, all these news doesn't really matters much to me. Or should I say I simply can't be bothered with it? Open the casino? Extend the smoking ban? We can't decide. We just follow the rules.

NiCe & TrEnDy oFFiCe


It's the dreadful Monday again when most of us hate because its the beginning of a new week and it's time to start working. You all must be thinking why I am complaining when I am supposed to be a professional bummer. Miko don't like to bum around without a job for too long because she will not have money for her shopping, her beauty maintenance and other luxuries. So while she is waiting to start her new permanent job on 28 April, she got herself a temp job to earn some pocket money.


Anyway, my temp assignment is with MTV Asia located at Dhoby Ghaut. This week is my 2nd week with them. The office got a lot of televisions with different channels showing MTVs. I am doing some admin duties for them like updating the contract details and recording the video tapes they have. It's great to work here because I can wear my jeans and racer-back top for work. No need to wear office attire. Most of the people here wear casually to work too. You can see some of the staff with funky hairstyles or lots of earrings on their ears. Even one of the HR staff here was spotted with purple sreaks on her hair. Stylo right? Well, I am sure you all will not get to see this in a corporate office. It's kinda interesting to work here. Below are some of the pictures I took in the office. From the pictures, you can really see it's indeed a very nice place to work in.


Me enjoying the nice ambience

Got pool table de wor. Don't puay puay.

It seems like the latest gadget must-have is the Sony PSP. And my dear dear is one of those who love games and he fell totally in love with the newly released PSP. From the above description, you all would have guessed what I bought for dear dear as birthday present le ba. Did you all guessed it corectly? Scroll down for answers.

You are only half correct. I had wanted to get the PSP for him but he secretly went to buy before his birthday. When I asked him why he buy the PSP so fast, he said he bought it as a birthday present for himself. Sial la, I am too late le.



So in the end, I bought this for him.

.

A 512MB Sony Memory Stick. The original package for the PSP only comes with a 32MB memoery stick. It's not enough for my dear dear to save his Naruto animes in it lor. So this new memory stick came in handy for him. He was quite shocked when he opened the present because he never expect this from me.



My dear dear's new toy.
