Supplementary card for me... *grinz*

Today, by chance, I and ling visited the UOB credit card roadshow (not sure if it's really called roadshow cos it's not on e road) at suntec city. I have been considering to get this card since a couple of months back but i tot of looking at other credit cards before signing up for anything.
so, while i went to the toilet juz now, ling signed up for this credit card at the roadshow and i told ling i want to haf one too. He said that i should sign up for other credit cards cos i can use his credit card to get the benefits whenever we go out together. but i dun go out wif him only. i still go out wif the girls... wat if i am out wif da girls and i dun haf his card? that would be totally unfair cos I was the one who wanted that card first.
den, SMART me, asked ling if I could haf a supplementary card from him. at least when i m out wif my galfrens, i can use the card to get the benefits. Hehehe..... AND ling agreed!!! YEAY!!!
After which, ling wondered if he can call the bank and ask them to put limit to my supplementary card as $100 per month. Haha!! I dun tink so...
I told ling that, with this supplementary card, if he makes me furious or if he decides to dump me, I am soooo gonna splurge on that card sooo fast that he wun haf time to terminate it. MUAHAHAHAHAH!!!
now i m gonna sign up for ntuc ocbc card. he's now asking for supplementary. No shame... where got guys get supplementary card from girlfrens one.... hehe...

Wanna get DBSS? Think again?



So, ling and I are currently looking for new houses cos it would only be completed like 4 or 5 years later. Might as well start now. Yesterday, we decided to go to Natura Loft's showroom, the new Design, Build and Sell Scheme Flat under HDB that looks like a condominium. It is located at Bishan and is one of the most expensive flat.
I must say I was super disappointed. A 5 room flat could cost about $600,000 and it is only 120 sqm! Yes, there were gorgeous windows and balconies. Sadly, all the full length windows in the bedrooms and bath room (yes, bathroom!) are bay windows, where 1/5 of the length of the windows is covered by a cushioned bench (trying to describe in layman's terms).
When I view the 5 room, i was so shocked at how tiny the apartment is!!! It's like the new kitchen is smaller than my house (can u believe that!), the common toilet is smaller than my sister's house and they say that there is a so called study area which is bullshit cos ultimately u have to convert it to dining area cos the allocated dining area is like super tiny and it cuts into ur living room area.
What amazes further, the income ceiling to get that house is $8k! I was like asking ling, they expect people of that combined household income to purchase that house?!! How can they afford it unless they take up a huge loan????
But den ah, even if I have a lot of money, I would definitely think twice before getting that apartment. Just getting that apartment, doesnt mean to show that u r rich and can afford it. but it shows that u dun tink wisely before getting it. It is not a condo for goodness sake. they boast about the facilities that they might build such as playgrounds and stuffs. But those facilities can also be used by other people who live in other flats that cost like onli $400,000. Not exclusive at all! If I can afford $600,000, I'd rather buy a real condominium with swimming pool facility.
Perhaps it is partly expensive cos it is so near to everywhere but I'd rather buy a much cheaper flat and get myself a car to get myself to everywhere.
So now, my dream of getting full length windows houses is crushed! Ling said that new houses are that tiny. They are unlike the resale flats. So now, most probably I might just get a resale flat cos it is much bigger and dump the idea of having full length windows.
Our budget for a flat now that we can afford comfortably is $370, 000. Perhaps it might increase a little bit after proper calculations. We are now looking at big 5-rooms or executive flats which are about 130 to 145sqm. Most likely after our proposed wedding in late 2010/early 2011, we will start hunting for a house cos we need tos ave money for our renovation which, according to ling, would be a lot cos my standard is high. haha! well, i have been living in an under renovated house for the past 15 yrs of my life, naturally i would want something much better.
I am determined to buy a perfect house for myself cos dats where I am going to live for the next ten years or so.

MY CAT PASSED AWAY
My cat, 'who' suffered from cancer 6 months ago finally breathed his last yesterday night. I said 'who' and not 'which' cos i find it wrong to lump animals together with inanimate objects. animals deserve 'who'. ok, i m tokin nonsense. so, last night, i spent an hour crying. ling had trouble comforting me cos i tink he might not understand how i feel as he is not as obsessed wif animals as me. i tink he is like wondering y i can cry like dat over an animal.
i tink u guys noe dat if i see humans dying on the news or tortured, i'd haf no emotions. that time, i even saw a man dead on the road, wif blood cos of an accident and i still dun haf any emotions towards that guys. but, if i see an animal injured, dying or tortured in the news, i would shout at my ling to change the channel cos i refuse to watch that news. i noe dat if i watch, i would cry and even ling wouldnt be able to comfort me then.
I am not sure if my cat passed away only after my 'visit'. I admit, i am not close to this cat cos he is often locked up in my mom's rm. but he is very very manja to people. so, last night, i decided to visit him. he used to be big and fat but last night, i finally saw the effect of cancer on him. he was juz bones and his fur was falling off. i stroked him to see if he was alive cos he seemed to be sleeping but he gave a squeak to tell me dat he was alive.
ok, i m starting to cry now... sighz...
den after visiting him, i asked my mum if we shud put him down to end his suffering but my mum refused cos she wants him to die naturally. i m so frustrated wif my mum cos it was her dat my cat ended up wif dis condition. she was the one who reported to me about his injury late and we ended up sending him to a vet too late. his injury, which was minor became cancerous.
for the next two hours after the visit, i told ling dat i had a sinking and bad feeling and it wasnt really about my cat cos i tot he would still be alive for the next week or so. i tot it was juz me cos i told ling dat i need to see counsellor. this is bcos at times i feel dat something is not wrong without knowing wat was wrong. like, if i go shopping or when i m eating, my heart can suddenly sink and i would feel that something is not right. i thought i haf emotional problems and i need to see a doctor for that. i even told ling that mebe i shud start taking vallium.
den, i decided to go out of my rm and i cant even remember why i went out. but soon after stepping out of my rm, i realised that my mum and dad were walking about in a rushed manner. i asked them wat was wrong and dat was when my mum told me dat my cat passed away.
right now, my mum is chit chatting happily wif my aunt over the phone but here i am crying as i m typing this blog.
i noe he is juz a cat but i feel that animals deserve to be on earth more than humans cos they are innocent. humans are forever committing sins and bringing misery to others. worse, humans can think but animals cant. when they die, i dun even noe if they get to go to a better place.
i hope that my cat is really at peace now. i m gonna miss him. i told ling that, if it were cik cik (my fat female cat) who died, i tink i wun be able to take e news cos i m very very close to her.
i hate myself for loving animals so much. but as a compensation, at least i'd be emotionless when it comes to humans and deaths.

Some branded things are best not to buy
This couple of days, i went to u-noe-where from 8 to 5. so, i get to meet 'professionals' like myself (cheh...) and i was kinda taken aback at wat i observed.
far once mentioned in her blog sth like gahmen officials not spending the extra money to get good clothes, shoes, etc. i beg to differ lah!!
in contrast, everywhere i went, i saw LV, Liz Clairborne, Coach, Bonia, Gucci, Prada.... goodness.... so many of them haf those things such that my $50 Carlo Rino bag attracted more attention than others and of course my $20 mondo shoes attracted attention too.
den, wats the pt of buying expensive stuffs? i m not sure if they bought fakes though... then, it will be more worth it. at least u dun spend $800 on sth which pple juz pass over cos it is juz too common and is no longer a symbol of status. but i tink liz clairborne is still quite acceptable. not many pple carry them as compared to Gucci and Coach.
Nonetheless, i bought ling Bonia stuffs for our 3rd yr anniversary. i m such a sucker. i said i m not getting him any gifts, but yet my hands r so itchy, i go and buy something for him but it was so hard to resist!! the packaging was nice (a very very nice box), the belt buckle is very elegant and the wallet is uncommon. there's a surprise compartment for the wallet some more. i din even noe Bonia has a line for men lah... ling said Bonia is for auntie-suntie. so now, who is the auntie2?? khekhe... but i assured him dat if he wears Bonia stuffs, he would be one of the few men in Singapore that would be wearing them. Hehehe...

the gorgeous casing, which is way much better that wat braun buffel had to offer me
oh yah, i finally bought my spa package!!! now, i haf 10 1-hr massage sessions at Body Wellness. Honestly, i dun tink their massages are to die for but 1 session is only $55 which was offered when the lady saw how reluctant i was to take their packages. den, when i asked if she could throw in a free scrub, she said yes!! yeay... so now i m on e way to become makcik makcik already... the outlet i went to wasnt that nice... i went to the one at stamford court. decor was ok ok onli lah... so i m planning to go to the other outlets and see see.... anyway, if u guys wanna go for the massage for $55 onli, juz call me lah. it is transferable. if i get rid of the 10 session quickly, i can also change spas quickly and buy some other packages. ;)

Jalan raya and a visit to the castle... (VIP? Me? No way...)

Today finally met up wif e adhoc peeps after such a long time. as usual, it was fun fun fun!!! they played a card game thruout their entire jalan raya such that i felt we shud haf juz rented a chalet, order lotsa food and play dat for one whole day. HAHA!!! it was addictive lah and a gd game to bond wif frens. i enjoyed it!! i only joined them when they went to far's house which is second last house. I dun regret not joining them earlier as i had gotten a much needed rest at home after a war wif my markings for a week. (see below) It was so messy cos I couldnt decide which one i wanna mark first. Heheh...

Niwae, I m quite angry at my dad cos he was spouting nonsensical stuffs to my frens. No, i m not one of the case whereby i m ashamed of my parent cos he is uncool. No. I juz wish that my dad can jaga his mouth. He is so insensitive and so full of himself. When the adhoc came over he tried giving so-called advice that are menyeleweng in the eyes of Islam. I may not be well-versed in my religion but I think I noe enough to detect things that tak masok akal. Honestly, i dun approve of how my dad practises the religion cos it menyusahkan me. Often, at night, he would asap here and der and i always haf to lock my door at night so dat the asap wun enter my rm and choke me in e middle of e night and waking up having sore throat. No matter how many times I tried to make him stop doing it, my werds juz bounced back.
That is why, for most part of my life, I rarely listen to him. So, today, i think he offended a couple of the adhoc members and i dun blame them for having a black face or cant-be-bothered face. Perhaps, it's a sin for me to be anak durhaka (an unfilial child) but i tink it is a greater sin if i dun use my brains to differentiate wat is right and wat is wrong cos parents are not always right and in my case, my dad is often wrong. sigh....
I really wish he would change his ways. I already talked to him abt his actions today. thankfully, he din scold me or wat cos i tried talkin to him nicely. hopefully, he changes.
anyway, yest i went to the 'castle'!!! and i met baya's sister!! yeay... it made everything so much mroe fun and to think i tot i would be alone and almost din wanna go for the event juz to play sims.


This was e grp of peeps i sat wif. I had such a hard time getting someone to take pic for us cos I was so scared dat the person I asked is a minister or a CEO or an ambassador or some big shot or sth. So scary....
I was seated at the VIP table!!!! (hehe...) This table alone had 3 women who has done well academically, 2 judges (i think), one super young female entrepreneur (younger den me by 3 yrs!), baya's sis (who was given a special mention in the speech made for that night), a lady who won an award and an impt person for the pple of Geylang. yikes!! i was like some kucing kurap sey... but no offence to kucing kurap, i love all kucing whether or not they haf kuraps.
but it doesnt sound so bad. baya's sis, me and a couple of the girls are so kecoh. the impt lady of geylang sat beside me and i had a nice time chit chatting wif her.

Baya's sis referred to him as Pakcik Yaakob. Sajer jer... haha!! i told her to get duit rayer from him or can go visiting to his house. haha!! anyway, he was the host of the event and I m grateful to him for hosting it.

Ling's sarcasms.
I juz realised that some pple are not able to detect ling's sarcasms. Unlike me, ling hides his sarcasms by making jokes. U may laugh wif him without realising that the joke was actually related to u. He once said that that is how he tries to maintain a good relationship and yet get his points across.
that time, i told him that that manner to get things across will not work effectively. cos some pple juz dun get it and it is not even their fault for not getting it! i tink i may have been his victim a few times but i m not sure cos i also belong to the majority of pple who dun get his sarcastic jokes cos all i hear are jokes without sarcasms throwing at anybody.
i tink i m well-known for somebody who is against bringing partners in friends-gathering events unless they haf good reasons for doing so. but not many pple noe dat ling is as against it as me even though he tries to give hints in his comments. ling is as frustrated as me when pple start bringing partners to these events. next week, one of his very close group of frens might be bringing her tunang and i tink his plan is to see how much the tunang can take it. not sure if he is going to drive the tunang away wif his sarcasms, which i tink is not going to work if he always make jokes.
i dunno, perhaps his tactic is better than mine. at least, he is talking abt that person right in front of the person himself. whereas my tactic is juz to kp quiet and den vomit everything in this blog, this is one of the reasons y i dun wanna jln raya on the 11th, besides being super tired and busy. ling tot i din wanna go cos i was ashamed to face some of dem. Errrr..... totally wrong. I haf super thick skin. i m one of those pple who fell on e butt in public, vomited in front of the principal, haf my belt dropped in a crowded restaurant and yet pull a very normal face as if nothing happens wif no blushes at all. Hehe...
i told ling dat i juz dun wan to cari dosa cos i cant control my thoughts and actions. so, rather than getting myself into situations that i m not comfortable in, might as well i avoid them. last yr i din wanna go for the same reason but i went in e end and i wished i hadnt. all cos ling wanted me to go. dis yr, he asked me to go again or else he'd be lonely cos other pple bringing partners. but i am not going to make the same mistake. also, wat lonely??? i see him 3 times a week and he'd be surrounded by frens on dat day! that is if the frens are not over-layaning their partners. lalala... not sure if my nj raya will be partner-free. i hope so. but who m i to control pple's actions. mebe faiz might bring his, not sure. if dats the case, i wonder if we can be as bimbotic and crazy as our past jalan rayas but i tink his wife already noe abt that. haha!. but... i dun tink e other nj peeps bringing partners lah... it will be odd if anyone of us does... ;)
anyway, on the 10th i will get to go to Istana and meet my prince charming. yeay...

I got a TITUS watch!!! (i could make fun of the name of this brand but it wouldnt sound nice cos it involves one of the female's body parts. lalala...)
Happy 3rd yr anniversary ling!!! Klah, it was on 1st oct. Sorry, belated. hehehe... So, when he asked wat i wan, i told him i wan a watch. I mean, the last time i got a watch was like a yr ago which is my Swatch watch cum bracelet. It's time to get a new one. Things like watches, wallets need to change yearly one. Things like bags, three times a yr. Things like shoes, every other mth. hehe...
so, I chose this watch. I m not into bling blings actually. I dun really love and crave for diamonds or diamond-like things. I feel that it is too eye-catching and is annoying when the sun reflects it. However, when i saw this watch, surprisingly, not only is the slimness of the face attracts me but i was attracted to the bling blings too. i was actually looking for a watch that is versatile - that is, it can be worn casually and formally, just like my GUESS watch. but, the idea of wearing bling blings when in jeans and shirt kinda sound interesting. furthermore, the watch comes wif straps of two clours - white and black. i can wear the white one for casual look and the black one for an elegant look. cool huh?


den after dat we went to seoul garden to eat. pics r wif ling as i had forgotten to bring my cammie. but there's nothing to see except me posing wif food. hehe...
in case u r wondering wat i got for ling. i got for him nothing. this one, another story. in short, i wanted to get him a super nice BRAUN BUFFEL belt cos he is into branded stuffs (not moi) and yet he could ask me in a commanding manner, "why buy a belt that is so expensive?" i felt that he has no right to question my choice of gift. it is not like it is super duper ugly that he wun wear it. i haf my reason too. e reason is that i noe if i had gotten ling dat belt, he'd keep the buckle for at least 5 yrs, which is worth my money. the leather would be longer lasting too.
so, i got fed up and decided not to get for him anything cos i had wasted precious hours and energy trying to get him dat gift but was rewarded wif unappreciative comments.
but, i still love ling. dats love. u can be angry at that person and still love him.
