Sometimes people are not ’socially considerate’.
This morning I woke up to the irritating LOUD car horn sound. It went on non-stop for about 1 minute! (Thought I could sleep in peacefully after I finished a korean drama late last night.) Later we realised it was the wedding gate crashing of a bride’s house.
Instead of inviting well wishes of blessings, I wouldn’t find it a surprise if unsuspecting neighbours around the happy couple started cursing that early ruckus. My father commented, it would be a wiser choice to gain attention through playing music than sounding the horn (which gets on everyone’s nerves).
Yeah, please have fun and at the same time, be more AWARE of the possible results of your actions!
Anyway, we’d a fun time playing card games recent Monday. Went Gabriel’s house to play Saboteur and Citadel (kindly ’sponsored’ by Yun). Really love the time spent, catching up and just enjoying each other company.
Seriously, at times, my fiance and I can’t find things to do together. Our interests are somewhat varied. I think playing card games is one of the pastime that we enjoy that is ‘Free and Easy’. (When you have a place to play and have the cards at hand.)
On a side note, yesterday we went shopping for my Ring~ 
Somehow, the ‘blink blink’ effect of the gems doesn’t seem endearing enough for me to want more. *shrugs* I’d prefer to spend money on clothings and shoes or other stuffs that I’d wear often.
Still, it was fun hunting for a different design from the usual pattern of a lone centred diamond popping out. I’m secretly happy he brought me to select or I’d be a bit disappointed if he did choose the ‘traditional’ type.
OK, another fun time…wait til the day I receive the ring from him!

Last Friday, I came back from a 5 days 4 nights work trip to Vietnam.
Now, I’m at home nursing a cold. It’s a terrible feeling, stuck at home not being able to do anything constructive but sleep. I think I’m better today 
Thought I’d put in my two cents worth of this trip.
Basically the first thing that’d struck every Singaporeans would be the traffic — mountains and mountains of Motorcycles! It is considered one of their convenient and cheap mode of transport.
The place I went was Ho Chi Minh City (formerly known as Saigon) which was one of the more developed area of Vietnam. Along the way, I did visit the more rural parts where there are padi fields and muddy pathways and forests.
Plus the Cuchi Tunnel and War museum that brought me back into the chilling war history of the country.
The main shopping spree I did was at Ben Thanh Market. And to be honest, I couldn’t get anything for myself (or females in general). In my opinion, the most worthwhile things to buy are the sports apparel. Reasonable quality and workmanship. What a steal! I bought many polo shirts and some shorts for my fiance.
As for the food, I wouldn’t complain - they are similar to our Chinese cuisine here apart from some dishes that include intensive sour/spicy taste that I’m not used to. They serve the usual rice, vegetables, fish, meat and end it off with fruits (mainly watermelon, banana or pineapple).
My honest recommendation?
If u want a fresh new perspective of how people in certain parts of the world are able to smile cheerfully yet struggling with their lives and moving forward bravely, this is the place for you. This is the place for those Singaporeans too comfortable with their so called ‘take-it-for-granted’ lifestyle for them to reflect upon how fortunate they are…
However, if you simply want a shopping haven (for the ladies who want branded stuffs), you can skip this stop.
Signing off with lots of love*
Till my birthday then! take care!

There has been too many things happening until I find it difficult to record in here..*lazy*
In short, the two months were spent chasing time…for more time? to settle whatever things that’s required to complete before year end. My area of responsibilities in work expanded during these months…
A happy thing to remember: Went for selection of our new HDB flat at Punggol Spectra~
This herald our journey into preparing for our marriage next year 
It’s like the order has been jumbled up…we’re in the midst of ‘everything’…what a frenzy yet somewhat exciting time.
To a certain point, I don’t understand a lot of things, at the same time, I don’t really feel like discovering more about them. Very complex emotion at the moment. 
Next thing to look forward to: My December holidays! and my birthday ~

Recently, I got into a new ‘hobby’ of shopping online.
Initially I logged into ebay with the intention of trying out other scents by Victoria Secret after the body mist (Pear Glace) Ariel has given me last Christmas has finished.
One shopping led to another trails of happy online findings…
There is this lovely shopblog by Kristine. I’ve bought some dresses from her;love the quality and unique design of clothing she’d imported from Korea.
And lately, I came across some cosmetics I’m interested in but I wouldnt want to risk buying the whole big bottles at such high price without trying first…thus found this website Fr3b where I simply pay the postage fees for the samples I desired.
How Fun!
(The working term is going to be slightly better next month onwards)
September is my month of simple indulgences…
September 27th, 2009
August is the month of my nation’s birthday, where the colour theme will be Red and White (colour of the national flag).
Yes, I love Singapore…simply because…(no matter how cliche it may sound) “it is the place where I believe I can build my dreams.”
Why I chose Pink: when you mix red+white = Pink!
Besides, August is also the month of me collecting the Macdonald’s Happy Meal Hello Kitty. Perhaps I’m deprived during my childhood; now that I’m older, my affection for this lovable kitty starts to resurface. 
Why I chose Pink: when you think of hello kitty = Pink!
On the whole, August has been quite a pretty rosy month. I guess there are more instances of me feeling rather happily pink than the depressing blue.
Anyway, onwards to the month of September!
It will be a more eventful month for me and I hope this pink feeling will continue…
