Beatrice Says...

I went Caleen's place to bake last week.

We met up at Hougang Mall in the afternoon and went to get the baking ingredients at the supermarket.

We planned to make MUFFINS by adding our own favourite flavours, so we shopped ard the whole supermarket and visited the Red Man Baking shop and finished getting our items after half hour or so before having our lunch at this nice western food coffee shop nearby.




And so we got all these ingredients. There were actually more. But here are a few main ones. I realised we made quite a lot of diffferent flavours. Like Chocolate, Banana chocolate, Cheese, Orange, Oreo.

Caleen is really talented for baking and cooking. And she taught me how to make the whole lot of muffins very patiently, and here's the process.

And our results below.

We did a lil exercising during the process- beating the eggs, and figured out that it might be a good way for tonin up our arms. Haha. We had fun during the Icing part, and it was seriously a more tedious exercise when mixin the water and the sugar powder. Nobody should see the way we do our icing on the muffins. Oops.

Caleen is really nice and sweet. :)
 i'm lookin foward to another bakin session! Hopefully if there is, i'm gonna try something NEW.





Shopping

And after so long from the Nikon IT show, i finally met up with sweetie Pie pie for shopping!

Met her up after she went to sign her official contract for her new job with HDB, and we had a good lunch at Bubble Tea Cafe at Entertainment Centre @ Toa Payoh. I love that place!

We had a great time catching up, and shopped all over Orchard. I hope she likes her buys, and i think she looks really fabulous in this black dress and gold necklace from Forever 21. ;)

Jerline joined us too! We had dinner at Sakura @ Far East, accompanied by a lil shopping at Isetan and talks at MOS burger before going separate ways.

I guess Pie's and my legs were aching by the end of the day. ;)

 

 
 Im surrounded by Sweety Pie Pie and Pretty Jerline :D

 
Gonna meet them up again for 3 dates! - Pinic, Zouk & Shopping @ Chinatown. Yay!

And rgdin the previous post, thank you for all those that showed concern and gave me advise! I read them all thoroughly and didnt miss out any word at all. Really Appreciate it. They helped. I mean it.  :)

And of course, not forgetting my own lovely girls. :)

A lesson learnt. Very Painful one.

My dream, that little hope, all ruin. Just by myself.

No one to blame, but myself. Totally.

Utterly disappointed with myself.


No one will understand this post. But i just need to post it out for myself to see, remember and remind.

I need to.

I've ANGER all up in me now.

I need to learn this -  that sometimes without asking, things should be kept simple or at it is. Who knows there might be certain things planned out in the simple plan already.

I also need to learn to be more decisive so that there would not be any contradicting/conflicting decisions.

Yet, i think I'm getting Numb already.

Okay, i'm feeling better already.



And i think i need to Show  those important people ard me that they are important. Actions speak louder than words isnt it?

p.s Thanks apple dearest. Love you :)

Colours of the day.


Pre-mothers' day celebration at Granny's on Friday.


The flat in Toa Payoh.


Granny is moving.
After all these years since numerous years before i was even born.

She has been staying there with my grandpa for all her life, even after grandpa passed away. And it is a place, where cousins and myself have so much memories together, we grew up there - having family dinners there, going downstairs to get snacks, eating the usual delicious Lor Mee at the coffee shop.

I remember I used to sit down with grandpa at the coffeeshop and he will scoop hot black coffee with the tiny spoon, pour it into the saucer, blow it til it cools and push it to me, watching me to drink it down.

There's just so much about the place. I like the place. :(

But granny and cousins have to move due to some problems, and well, the good thing is that they are moving nearer to my place! And i'm serious, they will be leaving a couple of blocks away only. :)


So cousin Junlynn organised a mothers' day celebration at granny's. We had packet-ed food, like sambal stingray and all, and we had a nice swensen's sticky chewy chocolate ice cream cake for this special occasion.





Mom, dad & sister couldnt make it to the celebration though. But here's a snapshot of two most beautiful women in my life (not forgetting my beautiful mother).


My God-ma & Granny. :)


My Smart and hip-hop cousin Eunice. :)

So after the celebration, i was leaving the house to head home, when i just decided to ask my cousies for a movie randomly. So i did, and the next moment, cousin Eunice, June and i headed out to Junction 8 for a movie!

But movie timings were bad, we couldnt catch any, and headed over to Ang Mo Kio Hub instead. We managed to find a good timing for movie- Made of Honour (quite a good show) and we went to Arcade after gazillion years to kill time.

And we spent all the time and dough playing this only:




We spent ard $30, and in return, we got quite a lot of attention from passer-bys and help from an auntie, Many many MANY sweets, and a Stich Toy. I was not into the toy, but i was into the excitment of getting it!


The bag of Sweets plus a few packs of biscuits.


So here, look at how delightful my cousin was.

 


We spent the rest of the time chilling at the cafe called NEBO, beside the arcade. They have quite nice food and we ordered a cheese fries to share. I love cheese!


Ay NEBO.


Cheese Fries.

It is somehow like a boardgames cafe like pitstop, settlers, but you must spend at least 8bucks EACH in order to play the games.

So we had our movie and daddy came to send us home after that.


On Actual Mothers' Day.

I planned a surprise for Mom.


I booked a SPA appointment for Mom, arranged with daddy to go with us, and booked a surprise SPA appointment for Dad as well, so that they could enjoy a couple room SPA. So Dad knew bout the plan, but mom was kept in suspense.

BUT... on the actual day, Mom couldn't go for the appointment and the plan was cancelled. :(

In the end, I treated my family to a good lunch at a restaurant at Toa Payoh instead.

We had a Sumptuous Meal! Look at some of  the dishes.









So that's all for Mothers' Day. Hope all Mothers had a good time.

And for SIA, Medical was alright, but I decided not to join already, Sent them an email to withdraw from it and yeah. I've thought through about it and I guess i'll follow what i think it would be better. WIll update on the plans again. :)

Thank you so much for people who showed concern and interest. Appreciate it very much!! All the best girls!! :)

Till then, its 4.07 AM! i should be in bed.

Goodnight world. :)

so here's the casio watch that i bought!



Think its out quite long already, and i think a lot of people have it too.


Anyway, yes.

THE SIA INTERVIEW




So i went for the SIA interview very randomly.

I didnt really have plans to join SIA as it wasn't exactly one of the ambitions i yearn for very much, and it is a job that my mom didn't really like it, but she somehow let me decide on my own after that.

And so i went for the interview very randomly as i've mentioned, without thinking much, and since SIA interviews do not come that often, so i just went ahead to try to see if it can be as another Alternative/option or so for my career or decision path.

Interview had quite a few rounds.
The sequence of the interview was : 10 girls in a row for self introduction, Kebaya fitting, walking and the whole posture, skin check, One-to-one management interview, two-to-one management interview, medical checkup.  So with the 7000 people going for the interview,  they will eliminate people accordingly to the performance or so for each round.

Am very glad to be able to pass all the rounds except for now, waiting for the medical report to be out to determine the confirmation of securing the place. The interviews were pretty nerve wrecking though!


So right now, i still haven totally make up my mind, but there's somehow a decision in me as well. But probably, if i fail at the medical checkup due to some health problems, hahaha, so i guess that makes a clearer pathway.


See how it goes again i guess.



MANHATTEN FISH MARKET.

Few days back with Trish Sweets.

 

 


Till then, SMILE!!!

Colleagues Sweets ♥

One random night a couple of days ago, i was online at about 2am in the morning. I was shocked to know that my ex-colleagues were still working in the office as they were all online and we were chatting. Cynthia activated the MIC in her lappy and she didnt know i could hear them talkin in the background initially. Haha.

My lappy didnt have webcam or mic function, so i could only reply them through typing. But it was really hilarious, the convo i mean, with me eagerly trying to communicate by keeping up with the speed of talking and "talking" back. Smith was upstairs of the office and came down to join in the convo, while Jean on the other hand was performing her singing concert for me.

I kept pestering Cynthia to send me some emo songs. (I like emo songs! hahaha) And she would go like playing the songs in the background, and asked me, " you want this or not?", "how about this". So in a way, i get to pick and choose my songs to "download". So cool.

And after some time, they went home right in the middle of the night, and we ended the multichatting convo. Cynthia sweets sent me a msg after that. ♥





But I guess she could sense my mood during the convo, and which i was feeling vexed & moody that night.

Aww. how I miss my colleagues! Will drop by some time if possible to find them for ice cream at PLUCK. :)


SHOOTS.
So this week has been pretty okay, had two shoots.

One was a Print Ad for Carl Zeiss Vision. The client told me that Carl Zeiss is very famous for the camera lenses, they are gonna introduce the spectacles lenses to Asia Pacific, showing that not only the Caucasians suit their spects, but the Asians could too!

So i believe that is the message the ad wanna put across to the audience.

The shoot took place at a Studio located ard Xin Ming Area, and it was not a very long shoot too. The people, photographers, assistants and the make-up artist were all very friendly, and i seriously don't look like myself again when i saw the pictures after the shoot. Haha.


The make-up artist, Joey and myself. :)



And so the next shoot was a Print Ad for Harbourfront Centre, for Great Singapore Sale, GSS which will start on the 23 May, for 2 whole months.



But this was a pretty interesting shoot. As the shoot would take place in the shopping Mall, Harbourfront Shopping Centre, we could only begin the shoot after 9.30pm as by then, shops would be closed and there would not be people walking around and stuff. Coincidentally, saw Ashley my classmate working at the concierge at the shopping centre!

During the shoot:



  

  



 


So as you can guess, it was a midnight shoot. Quite fun actually.

So i would have to act as though im serving a customer, i think the message is to portray that you could win some air tickets or something when you shop during GSS. Haha, not quite sure. So the shoot had me and another female that will be acting as the customer.

Coincidentally again, the customer was Jennifer!!! The girl whom i did the adidas fashion show with last time. So we had quite some time catchin up abit, and did a lot of smiling towards each other during the shoot. ;)





I was dressed as an Air stewardess, but it wasn't the SIA kebaya kind, but instead, it was a Japanese air stewardess outfit. A formal shirt, with blazer, skirt, and a scarf plus hat.

Quite cool, i like i like.


Here's a glimpse of my outfit:



 
 

They told me the ad would appear in newspaper and as well as ard Harbourfront Shopping Centre, not confirmed yet though.

And guess what. The shoot ended at 2.30 AM! Haha, reached home around 3 plus and slept only at 5.30 am.

That explains why i need to end this entry and hit the sacks right now, my eye lids are sooooo heavy...

Remember the Samsung little girl i blogged about a few days ago? :)



Catherine Bardon it is.

I really like kids, and i actually brought her out for an outing on Sunday together with Maol & Kokpeng. I know its absolutely random, We went to pick her up at her place around afternoon time, and brought her to have lunch at maxwell market.

She tried Rojak and she likes it, and she likes chicken rice and bubble tea as well.

After the late lunch, we proceed to Upper cross street, Block 34, for Fish Spa @ NIBBLES! If you are wondering whats that, here's a picture of it.



Yeap! Those little fishes that eat your dead skins! :) Have always been wanting to try it out, but the one at SG flyer is a lil expensive, so caleen told me this shop that she went at chinatown is cheaper!

Its actually $18 for 15 mins. :(  Very expensive, so we decided to sign a package altogether, so that each session is $15 and for HALF HOUR. so the total package consists of 10 sessions, and we used up four of it. But at least its more shiok to dip inside longer!


Catie, Me, Maol, Kok.

It was really itchy initially when the fishes touched me, and i had to bear with it, get used to it, and after approximately 2 mins, you will feel okay and the shiokness will come!!! Catie was really funny that she didnt dare to dip her legs in, and when she did, she gave a scream and sometimes, an evil laughter?!

Hahaha. But very adorable.



The people working there like her very much, but they are mostly not singaporeans and doesnt understand English, whereas Catie doesnt speak Mandarin, so they people tried to communicate with her, but in return, i'd somehow act like the translator. But catie does know a few like "Thankyou, whats yr name, bye bye" in Mandarin which really brightened up the people's day i believe. ;)



 
Pretty Catie.

We went The Central for dinner at Long John Silvers after that, and desserts at this japanese dessert cafe at the first level. Very nice desserts and i like this very much! Especially the green tea ice cream.




Took a last few self timer shots to keep the day in every one's memory.







She's is one really adorable and smart girl! Very active as well.
Can't wait to bring her out again! :)


Randomly, things are different from whats here. Especially the mood, feelings, life. Just hope to know what am i doin, and hope for happiness!

STAY HAPPY PEOPLE! 
so that we won't waste the life and grow old easily!

So, someone told me my blog is recently becoming a picture blog instead of jotting down anything else.

I looked through the entries and very well, the entries were indeed full of pictures instead and some entries didnt have words at all (Except for those lil words in the pictures).

So hmmm, guess at times i'll spend a lil bit more time jotting down more on my life somehow, than what the pictures say. After all, it will be something i wanna look back and reminisce, and words would better trigger my memory even.



Anyway, was planning to stay home last Friday to clear some stuff, pack my room, do a lil housework etc, and i did a lil, but had an impromptu meetup with dearest Apple at night after her work.  She has been busy attending her part time classes at SIM and most of her weekdays would be devoted to Clementi.

And we had a great time this night! :D

We went to go to Hougang Point Mcdonalds for dinner and did some updates before she meets her tenant for some housing issues rgd her old house. So we got carried away by our convos but at the same time, her tenant cancelled the meetup, so we did a lil shopping ard the mall, and went for grocery shopping as i wanted to get a carton of orange juice and some biscuits to put at home.




Shortly after the grocery shopping, we were thinking if she should go home to get the car as her boyfriend & co were waiting for her at  somewhere for a chill out session.

After much procrastination, we went to her place to see if she could get the car, and luckily, she could!

So we got excited because i just passed like two weeks ago, and she passed like a month ago. So after all, we ARE considered Newbies. ;)

Wanted to go home after that but Apple asked me along so i went ahead to this place called Timbre.

We were so crazy on the roads BUT we were very cautious about our surroundings. But i was honoured to be the first friend she drove. :D

So my job was to look out for traffic for her, while she concentrates on the road. And as we were newbies, we were like lost sheeps as we didnt know the route to timbre as well, except knowing its near SMU.

So we took the long route there, but fortunately, reached around SMU. Parked at the side, hazard lights on, and waited for her bf, joseph, to come to save us by drivin to the place and park the car. Hahaha.

Let me introduce the place.





Timbre is located at the Substation, and it is not a very big place, but i like the place.

They had a live band there, and Joseph told me the live band on Saturday is really good.

The whole place was quite packed and I bumped into my internship director there, Janin and it was her first time there as well. They ordered Heineken to share, and unfortunately, im a super bad drinker so i didnt want to drink much that night. And apple didnt too, as she needs to drive!

Very chilled place, quite relaxing and the live band really rocked the place, very much adding on to the chilled atmosphere.


Supper after that at Bencoolen Prata, but it was bad. The food i mean. Especially the fried rice that Joseph ordered.




Apple and i then left first. But while on the way to my house, we would pass by Little India, and thus, we decided to go to mustafa for a short shopping trip to get the Casio watch that i wanted to get. Apple got it as well. :D

We were totally like two crazy & tired but happy girls that night. Hahaha.

Please Visit timbre! its really nice. Guess probably i'll bring some lovelies there on a Saturday next time! :)

Saw some Emails, and am thinking to share some of the contents in the mails here. Think its very true.



"Trust is the glue which holds relationships together"

Trust enables relationships to develop and flourish. When trust erodes, the relationship deteriorates. Doubts, which can creep into our thinking about the behaviour of the other person, can act like a poison and a cancer, quickly spreading to sabotage the relationship. Mistrust has a devastating impact on relationships and on the types and quality of conversations that will occur.

Whilst trust is an indispensable component of positive and productive relationships, unfortunately it is something that can all too easily be taken for granted. We may only become aware of its importance when we feel trust has been broken.

Within our relationships it is all too easy to take trust for granted and overlook its pivotal role in our interactions with others. Trust can be regarded as a fragile element of relationships which needs continual nurturing. One or two instances can raise important and lingering questions, which may remain in the background and have a silent but devastating impact on the quality of the relationship.

Trust is the central pillar supporting any real relationship. With so much at stake, be it emotions, finances, children or future goals, there needs to be implicit trust for love to fully develop.

Building trust in a relationship takes hard work and commitment. Trust requires that you listen to each other and communicate your needs. Trust requires honesty above all else.

Once you’ve built trust, you’ve done something magical, and you should do everything in your power to keep it if you plan on maintaining your relationship.


In order to know what it is your partner needs to feel safe, you have to listen to what they’re telling you. Trust takes time, but if you communicate effectively you’ll have a stronger foundation to build on. You can’t build trust if you’re constantly  spending a lot of time apart from your person you're trying to build trust with.

With Very pretty Emileen.

Worked for a SamSung Private Function @ Shangri-La Hotel on Tuesday.

Yesterday was one of those days whereby i travelled ard Singapore.

Went for Samsung Training in the Morning yesterday at Church Street.

Saw many many pretty girls, two that i know wld be Jamie (so long since the adidas fashion show) and Emileen whom i saw her at casting. Both are soooooo pretty! :D

From Church Street, i went to Wisma, then to Paragon to meet Mom after her medical check up and headed to lunch together.

After lunch, i went to Ang Mo Kio Area for Casting for a while.

Then after Ang Mo Kio, I went to Upper Aljunied Link for another Casting.

Then after Aljunied, i went back to Somerset to get some stuff, whereby my bag (That was a gift from my mom) broke while i was walking. :(

Haha, then Phil had lessons at starhub centre, so i met him up for an early dinner and we had Curry Chicken at this small shop near centrepoint which he reccomended.



And after dinner, we went to Tampines to meet Maol for a Movie - Definitely, Maybe.

And then back home.

And after a whole day of walking.......

A water bubble grew, and burst, and OUCH!

( See it only if you think you won't feel gross out. )

Did an event on Tuesday.

The event was to launch the new ASUS Eee PC - Easy to Learn, Easy to Work, Easy to Play. Check out more HERE.

Royston Worked for the event as well!


WIth the New Asus Eee PC. Its light and its quite cool.

Think the price of it in the market now is $798.


Walked to The Central with Royston after that, and was planning to take a train but daddy came to give me a lift.

And he asked me if i want to drive, and i was so excited. HAHAHA.

So i took over the driver seat, and we went to pick Mom up at Suntec City from Clarke Quay.

So.. there was this JPMorgan Chase Corporate Challenge 2008 (Sorry i made a mistake on the run, thanks for telling me huckerby!) , going along The Padang that area, so they actually closed up the road, and in the end, we were stucked at on the road near Marina Square for approximately more than half hour.


Picture Evidence:


Taxi drivers, especially, were quite impatient with the jam, and a few came out to stand and complained to passer-bys?? And in the pictures above, the yellow taxi uncle came out, and he actually took out the MATS to clear the dusts out of no where. Hahaha, it was quite funny.

And daddy on the other side, was quite irritated by the long jam, and i guess he can't really get used to not driving in the car, so he prolly reckon he has to do something.

So.. HE CALLED "TRAFFIC WATCH"! (i think it belongs to news radio 93.8 FM)

Hahaha, i was laughin beside, and dad was complaining to the person how can the organizer organised such run at this hour etc etc.



Anyways, Back tracked a lil.

I went to THE PUMP ROOM last Sat with Maol & his friends.


Maol was so tired that day due to his basketball tournament before the meetup. The group opened a bottle and played quite a few rounds of guessing numbers & drinking.

The pump room is quite a nice place, there's a small area for dancing and the songs were quite nice! Especially their live band, really rocked the place!



And back tracked again, i went for buffet at Grand Hyatt- The Straits Kitchen! Pictures Below!

Was looking ard to see if there's Sashimi, but then i realised it was all Asian Cuisine. But the quality of food is good! Ate till i'm soooooooo bloated.

Trish, Yi Huai, Haslinda & I made our way to Dempsey Hill that night for Ben & Jerry's as Huai has vouchers!!!

Yay, finally met up with the dearest dar-LIN again! :D

Here's Trish & her Beau, Huai & his Beauty.


And i went to mother side granny's for a while on Monday, chit chatted with her for a while, updated her somehow, and i went to the Salon Colour Bar @ Siglap!


I straightened my hair to get rid of the curls totally, and trimmed a lil. Yay, new hairstyle. Was quite irritated by the untidiness of the recent hair actually!


After making my hair, i waited for my stylist to end work as he's treating me to dinner at a nice ZHI CHA place near the Salon for the help for the hairshow. And the food was good!!! We went to eat at this place along Changi Road, at this coffeeshop famous for Mee sua (Yellow Signboard). But we ate Fish, Tofu and sambal Vegetables instead. Hahaha. But very delicious. I'm gonna bring people there next time! :)


See the Nemo picture above?? i captured it using my cammy while waiting for the stylist to be done. Haha i think it looks really cute, especially aft watching FINDING NEMO some time back.

And i still like my camera. Show you one more nemo picture captured by the cammy.



And I stopped my full time job due to other plans.
But i don't wanna elaborate on it first.


Okay, Goodnight people! :)

to go overseas, for a short get away or more.

To relax, enjoy, and think.

Or maybe shopping, like Bangkok.

After dinner and dance, we didn't go home....

And for the first time that all of us went together to....

PICTURES OVERLOAD!

please wait for it to load k? :D

I PASSED MY DRIVING TEST!!!


Like finally. Spent a lot of my hard earned money on it, and Yay!


My left leg was trembling very hard today during the test. I was doing the S-Course, and i had to stop half way due to the intensive trembling of my left leg, and the tester was nice enough to ask me to free my gear, stretch & relax my leg. Haha. I was trying hard to control, but my left leg just couldn't stop trembling, instead it went worst!

And even during traffic junctions outside, he allowed me to free my gear and relax my leg whenever can. He was indeed a very nice tester. We even chit chatted bout his son, my school, my life & his experiences.

Kewl~

Fortunately, i got no demerit points for circuit, and outside the road, i got:
4 points for Fail to check rear view mirror
4 points for Fail to confirm safety (guess probably during lane change)

And the weather was good today!

 Yay. I can now fetch my granny, family, friends etc. CHEERS!!! :D
