My Idol Is Now A Daddy!
My idol since childhood days has suddenly got married and even has a son now!!! Sigh... Don't know why I feel abit weird... Not so much of jealousy but more like I don't really like his wife, maybe because the public don't know much about her. Futhermore, he is considered forever 17 years old to me... Cannot quite believe that he is a father now... It's too sudden!!! In fact, I still prefer him to be with Ruby Lin or Chen Yifei... Anyway, since our Mr Lin prefers Kelly, there's nothing the fans can do but to support him with his decision and give him more support for now he is a father! After hearing what Jimmy says, I feel proud that my idol is willing to stand out to face the public and tell the truth for the sick of his child's future.
Little Jimmy is cute... hope he grows up to be as handsome and cute as Jimmy.

MJ's Guitarist For 'This Is It' Concert
Anyway during MJ's memorial service, I took notice of that blond gal who sang with Judith Hills and the other background singers, who sang We Are The World during the memorial service. I think she looks quite cool! All I knew was that she was the guitarist in MJ's concert rehearsal footage... So I decided to search more info about her to kill my curiosity... I thought it would be quite difficult, however not. She is in fact quite a well-known guitarist!
Her name is Orianthi Panagaris, a 23 years old Australian guitarist! And she also sings! The following clip is a short interview with her on how she was selected to be MJ's guitarist.

Tribute to Michael Jackson (1958-2009)...
In fact, when Michael Jackson was still alive, all I knew about him was that he was a black singer who went through plastic surgery, changed his skin tone and was really good in dancing and moonwalking, his music is really popular in the world and that he is called the King of Pop. Then I also heard about the child molesting cases which I don't really care whether it was true or not... Other than all that, I knew nothing much about him and didn't care much about his existence.
It was only after his death and that the media started reporting about his life then I got to know that he seems to be a really nice person... I started becoming more and more interested about him... I started watching MTV channel almost everyday to catch glimpse of news and programmes about Michael Jackson. Then eventually, I realized that I kinda like him but I do not know exactly why... think it is bcoz of his love for children and that he indeed influenced the world with his music... And of coz I like seeing him dance!! I wish I was a fan earlier, now it seems too late... I guess I could only pay my tribute by buying his CD to keep as a memorabilia.
While watching the memorial service last night, my tears kept rolling down automatically. The finale of the memorial service ended with everyone and the crews of the 'This Is It' concert singing We Are The World and Heal The World. Finally, the best part was when his daughter Paris spoke up, and I was so touched by her words! Her speech about her daddy was the most powerful speech among all! It is simply too touching!!!

Regretting Snipping Off Your Locks?? Worry Not...
I think my current shoulder length hair is the most difficult stage to maintain bcoz of its 'qiaoness' at the ends and is also the most challenging stage to pass... coz must endure for quite a long period while waiting for the hair to grow below the shoulder length... This is kinda irritating... I am currently experiencing the 'feel like cutting yet cannot cut' stage. Now my hair is so untidy, messy and has no shape which makes me feel so aunty!! Ok, I know I am aunty lah... but but but... you know what I mean ok???!!!
Anyway, I need to do something about my hair... I have been thinking of going for hair extensions! I am referring to those extensions using braiding methods to make the hair look longer... Thought of trying that... But after reading comments on forum threads about hair extensions, many girls said that they developed swollen or itchy scalp... And many said that they suffered from hair loss... Sounds scary huh!!!
I think after reading those comments, I have decided to give it a miss! I am not brave enough to take the risk bcoz I already have very little hair so my hair is very precious to me! Hahaa... Can't afford to lose anymore hair lor!! So I decided to choose the safer option which is...
Jiang jiang jiang jiang!!! Nice???
This is also hair extensions but the instant clip-on type, so it can be used as and when I like it and then it can be detached at the end of the day... Cool huh!!! I simply love my instant long long hair!!!
At the same time, I also bought a piece of clip-on fringe, just for the fun of seeing myself in straight fringe coz I don't have the courage to cut this kind of fringe!! Hehee... Apparently, these type of hair pieces and extensions are quite popular in Taiwan and Japan.
I think I look pretty silly with this type of straight fringe... not suitable for me! Instead I think Deardear looks better with it... Ahahahaaa!! Cute right??! =D
Have a good laugh!!! =P

The Flaw In Samsung Preston
Just wanna warn girls like me who go for colours instead of functions when choosing the type of phone to buy... This phone is not a good phone for those with long nails, especially those with nail extensions... bcoz the touch screen function does not allow you to use fingernails to touch, neither any stylus will help... it is only sensitive to detect the tip of your fingers... so it's not that user-friendly for people with long nails.
The touch screen functions quite similarly to the first batch of iPhone... (not sure if the new batches is still the same though...) It makes sms-ing very tedious coz will tend to touch the wrong keys! I am just wondering since they are targeting this phone at the female market, why didn't they think about this inconvenience?? Girls love long nails and manicures so... we tend to use our nails to touch the screen instead of our fingertips! Samsung should have put the technology in Jet also in Preston earlier what!
After I bought the phone, I received the following advertisement in my email coincidently... the sentence about going easy on the manicure kinda irritates me!
Anyway, my Deardear bought the recently launched Samsung Jet which I think is way much better than Preston. Samsung Jet enables touch screen with fingernails and has more functions than Preston, even the colours and pictures looks nicer!
I feel like trading-in my Preston for the Jet! If I knew it earlier, I should have upgraded to Jet instead. I have now learnt my lesson not to go for colours in phones but for its functions. Hehee...

Jolin Butterfly Album Showcase in Singapore
Being a Jolin fan, how could I miss her showcase?? I was so eager to attend the showcase that I actually went online to purchase the tickets from a young gal through an auction website! She then sold me the a pair of tickets at $50. I thought it was a quite a fair deal... and immediately I smsed Fang to go to the showcase with me.
At the showcase, I was kinda disappointed though... Despite entering the Max Pavilion quite early, I was still not able to get good seats! Coz the seats were all quite far away from the stage and only VIPs were allowed to sit in front! Jolin only sang 5 songs starting with 大丈夫, 降落傘, 妥協, 日不落 and 花蝴蝶... We were still expecting her to sing more songs but the showcase ended quite suddenly after she sang 花蝴蝶. It was not high enough!! I wanted more! =P
Anyway, I guessed it was bcoz of her back injury and so she couldn't dance too vigorously. Hope that her injury recovers soon so she could dance again!!!
After the showcase, as usual, it was time to take pictures with Jolin......'s posters! Hahaa...
And here are the vidz I have taken...

R.I.P. - My Family's Beloved Older Hamster (Jan 2007 - 2 May 2009)
My family and I were actually all dressed up, getting ready to go to my relative's house to attend the wedding tea ceremony... Knowing that my hamster's condition was already very very very weak then, we had no choice but to prepare the food and water in a way so that my hamster could reach for them without us feeding it for that day (since we will be out all day)... My mum even told her to take care of herself for that day as we will not be around... At about 10.15am, I wanted to go take a look at her, however saw that she was lying on her side and no longer moving... there was also no more breathing... I shouted for my mum... and she confirmed that Rafa was dead...
I wanted to cry, in fact was already crying slightly... but I couldn't let my tears roll dow... Coz it will ruin my make-up... Deardear had to keep telling me to stop crying... but I feel really sad yet I can't let my tears ruin my make-up... Worst thing is that we are not allowed to talk about it at my cousin's house as superstition says that it is unlucky to talk about death during a happy occasion, especially during weddings. I wanted to tell my brother about it when I was at my relative's house but I can't as well.
Anyway, my mum has buried my hamster Rafa beside the tree downstairs my block, which was also next to where she buried my previous hamster Nadal! So now Rafa and Nadal are together again. =)
R.I.P. Rafa...

Dear God, Please Save My Hamster!
It all started on last Monday when I noticed a lump growing on her left ear... I have brought her to the vet on last Tuesday night, but at that time my mum and I had only noticed the growth which looks like a lump/blister on her left ear. The vet saw the condition of my hamster, she said my hamster is to old to go through an operation. She could only help by prescribing some antibotic and medication. That night, the vet assistant helped in feeding antibotic and some other medications to my hamster. Soon after we brought it home, we started seeing patches of blood on the bedding in the tank. We realized that she seems to be peeing blood. Things didn't seem right but my mum continued feeding her with the medication prescribed by the vet. We thought that situation was just temporary, however not. I find it unbearable to see my hamster peeing with blood and it seems to have lost her balance in sitting up straight... which also caused difficulties in drinking water from the water dropper... She looks really pitiful whenever I look at her... And so I called up the vet to make another appointment last night and brought my hamster to the vet again today...
Today my hamster's condition has worsened after bleeding for so many days... I could see that she is becoming weaker and weaker... Previously, she still has the appetite to eat despite not having the ability to drink water on her own. But now, it seems to have even lost her appetite and is always sleeping most of the time. She looks really weak, skinny and tired. It seems like a symptom that she is going to leave us soon. This was the same thing that happened to my other hamster, Nadal. When they start to lost their appetite and begin to sleep alot, it is the symptom of... I don't want to think about it.
Thinking of it makes me cry... It is really sad, knowing that she is soon going...
On one hand, my mum says that it will be better for her to go so that she does not need to suffer... she kept saying that I am wasting my money to bring it to the vet... but on the other, I can't bear to see her go... everyday I pray for God to save and heal her, so that she could stay on longer with us. I brought it to the vet coz I want the vet to save her. However, there was nothing much that the vet can do too... I know my hamster has been with us for more than 3 years... It is a sign of old age when hamsters get such sicknesses.
I have this fear to see my hamster with no more breathing whenever I wake up the next day or when I come back from work. I am not hoping to see this happen but I know some things are inevitable. I feel so helpless and can only pray for the best during this time coz I know my little hamster is battling against the cancerous cells in her body...
No matter what, I love my 'hamster-hamster' and really do not want her to go... :(

Jolin's New Album - Butterfly
Jolin has changed her record company to Warner Music and her new album will be out real soon on 27 March 2009!! Hmm... I was searching for her new song on Youtube and I found this new music video. The song is called 大丈夫. I think the male singer in the video looks alot like Wilber Pan... At first I thought he is Wilber, however he is not, coz this guy is called Nick! I still cannot find the difference in their looks, even he sounds like him... Maybe he is Wilber's long lost brother... Kekeke... =P
Anyway, here's a preview of 3 songs that will be in Jolin's new album called Butterfly. Hope you all will like it!
My New Hairstyle
I like my new hairstyle very much bcoz I am sick of the Posh Beckham bob hairstyle. At least, I think I look fresher now.
M.A.C Hello Kitty Cosmetics
As for myself, I used to buy my lipstick from M.A.C and this is really the only item I have bought from them... coz other than my lipstick, I only use cosmetics from I Nuovi and Loreal. And so I only bought the lipstick from this Hello Kitty range. I don't think their lipstick is good coz many people find the texture too dry. As for me, I will apply a layer of lipgloss before I put on their lipstick. I like it bcoz of their shades.
And the following is one of the colours that I have bought. In fact, I bought 2 lipsticks from M.A.C. One of them is shown below - a very girly pinkish colour (Fashion Mews), the other one is of a nude beigh colour (Fresh Brew) that will make myself look very pale...
Anyway, I am so angry with that stupid male salesperson from M.A.C Vivocity! I told him that I wanted the 2 shades of colours which was chosen from the Hello Kitty range. At first he told me that there are stocks for the 2 colours and then he went to take the stocks from the M.A.C store. When I proceeded to the cashier in the store, he then showed me the 2 lipsticks to ensure that the colours are correct. So I asked why is one of them is not with the Hello Kitty packaging? He told me that the beigh one with the Hello Kitty packaging is out of stock. So he took the one with the normal M.A.C packaging... And so I asked him - How about in other outlets? He then said all the outlets does not have stock for it anymore coz Hello Kitty range is only limited at Tangs M.A.C.
So I proceeded to make my payment for the 2 lipsticks since I like both the colours and there are already no more stock for the beigh one with the Hello Kitty packaging... After I have made my payment, I asked one of the female cashiers just to reconfirm again - Since this range is limited, does it mean that once items are sold out, there will not be anymore stocks left in Singapore?? Guess what, the female cashier said the new stocks will be in at Tangs Orchard M.A.C. roadshow on the following Friday!! What the @#$%!!! It was too late... coz that stupid salesman has already cheated me to buy the other colour that does not have the Hello Kitty packaging! I was so pissed off!!! >.<
Singapore Entertainment Awards 2009
The awards night wasn't very exciting... It was kinda boring throughout only until the last 15-20mins when the 'small pig' (Xiaozhu) performed. The seats were so uncomfortable especially for people with no backbone like me will find it very tiring to sit straight for the whole 3 hours as there is nothing behind the seat to lean on. Hehee... I sat until my buttock was aching. Furthermore, we were seated quite far from the stage, we could not even see the face of the singers on stage... and most of the time I was looking at the projector screen.
Well, I think most people didn't get enough of Mr. Pig's performance. I wanted to watch him perform more, but he only sang 2 songs. But then again, it is still better than nothing. Thanks to Fang for asking me to go with her.
Besides Xiaozhu, there were also other celebrities like Raymond Lam, JJ Lin, Joi Chua, Derrick Ho, Kaira Gong, Stefanie Sun, Energy and Olivia Ong, etc.
Hated the performance by Royston Tan bcoz of the '881 ah yo ah yo' song that he sang... that song made the awards night like a getai, so low-class!! I wonder how will the Taiwanese celebrities think of that performance?? Yucks!!
Back To My Previous Department...
Actually I did blogged about what happened since my first day reporting to the new department. However, I decided not to publish it bcoz I needed to be discreet about it. Anyway, time was needed to rectify things and these problems have been solved now. After being on loan for 3 weeks instead of permanently being transferred to the new department, I am currently back to my former position, former department.
Quite silly right? Choosing to transfer out, yet in the end I still chose to return to what I was previously doing. At least I learnt to appreciate what I am doing now.
I thank God for answering to my prayer. And I thank my Deardear for praying for me too. I am really so glad to be back in my former department which gives me a better sense of belonging at work! =)

New Job, Same Company...
Anyway, juz on Monday, I was being approached by my AVP to ask if I am keen on permanently transferring to one of the Account Services unit called Internet Banking/Service Desk. It is still an operational job under credit ops, but now this job deals with internet banking transactions and requests. Hmmm... at first, I thought it sounded quite interesting to me. But after a brief explanation, it doesn't seems as interesting as I thought. Since I have always been complaining about my job, I have decided to go for it after considering over it for one night. And so I submitted my name to my boss for the transfer on Tuesday morning.
Never did I expect her to come back to me to say that my request has been approved on that very same day and I will be moving on to the new department on next Monday!!! Diaoz... Although I may be keen on the transfer but this is too fast for me to accept it. From that moment, I started to have mixed feelings! Many things started to run through my mind, making me doubt myself whether I am regretting on accepting the transfer now!!
I am starting to feel scared and insecure... scared of loneliness in the new department, and having to adapt to a whole new environment and new colleagues all over again!! I am starting to miss my current colleagues although I have always been complaining about some of them... I am worried about the new boss that I will need to work with!!! Moreover, everything seems to be so unconfirmed and uncertain, except for the info that I will be reporting to the new department on the lower storey on next Monday. I am still unsure about the new job scope, who I am reporting to and whether I will be able to get a good work station location in the new office... I mean I dun wanna be sitting near or opposite my direct supervisor again just like now!! Hehee...
So fast, tomorrow will be the last day that I will be working in my current department... Feels kinda happy yet sad... Happy bcoz I don't need to do the same things that I have been doing for the last 1.5 years after tomorrow, but sad that I will not be able to mix around with my current groups of colleagues already.
Somehow, I have this bad feeling about my transfer. I kinda feel that the job description conveyed to me might not be what I will be doing after I report to the new department... bcoz... before I agreed to take on the new role, my AVP kept saying that the department is called IB which means Internet Banking, but after I have accepted the 'verbal' confirmation on the transfer, the department name used in the email sent out seems to have changed to Service Desk!! Wonder if it is actually a scam to make people want to transfer out so that they can reduce the headcount in my current unit...
Anyway, tomorrow my unit will be holding a farewell lunch for us (Actually still got Vanessa and Su also transferring out - Vanessa will be with me but she will transfer over 1 week later than me and Su is still unconfirmed on the department that she will be going to)... Why is everything happening so fast?????? Now that I feel like staying on instead... but I think it is too late. But if I have a choice to stay on now, then I think I will soon start to complain about my current job again... Hehee... But then again, even before transferring over, I already have doubts about the new job. Sigh... That's me... Forever undecisive and not easily unsatisfied! =P
If I can get to be transferred out successfully, please wish me luck to have a good boss, nice colleagues and to sit at a good work station location! Heehee!

Happy Anniversary and Valentine's Day 2009
First, we went to East Coast Road to eat the $10 jumbo prawn noodles for our lunch... and then we went to Queensway Shopping Centre to buy my running shoes.
Before we left for East Coast, I gave Deardear his Valentine's day card and present, and insisted that he open the present before he drive off. Heehee... Surprise for him!!! Eh... I actually bought a trucker cap and a leather wristband from Ed Hardy for him and I am so glad that he likes the card and the presents! Hee!! When I went to shop for Deardear's presents at Ed Hardy, I also bought 2 other caps for myself! =P
After opening his presents, Deardear told me to open the presents that he has bought for me but I told him I will prefer to open it later. And so we went off to East Coast Road to try our luck bcoz it was already 3 plus and we were wondering if they were going to close soon. Luckily, when we reached there, it was still open. And so we managed to cure my craving for the big prawn noodles and the ngoh hiang!
After a late and fulfilling lunch meal, we proceeded to Queensway to buy my shoes. As mentioned previously, I have been putting on alot of weight recently, so I will need to buy a pair of running shoes to go running at the gym or go running with Deardear. Deardear also bought his tennis shoes at Queensway.
I somehow did not like all of the running shoes that were sold on display... The colours are either too boyish to me or I did not like the combinations of colours with the pink on the shoes... I prefer those from the Nikewomen range that are used for training, dancing, yoga and aerobics coz they look more girlish to me. But Deardear insisted that I cannot buy those coz they are not meant for running... So, I ended up buying a white pair meant for running from Nike that has a pink swoosh logo. However, it is not one that I really like very much but bought it juz for the sick that I needed it.
After purchasing our shoes, we proceeded to VivoCity Pull and Bear to collect a pair of 3/4 pants which I reserved on the previous day. And when I reached there, I ended up spending more than what I should (as usual). While I was making my payment, Deardear said that he met Peter outside one of the shops... And he told me that Peter was waiting for Meiye... So qiao!! Anyway, after that we also went to the National Geographic store to take a look... Some of the things are quite interesting but I hated the section that has lots of frog posters!!! I think they look gross and yucky!!! I hate frogs and toads!!! Yeeee!!!!!
Enough of seeing gross things, I prefer going to see cute things in Sanrio!!! Hehee... Oh, I knew Deardear gave me some thing from Sanrio coz his presents were wrapped in the Sanrio wrapper and placed in the Sanrio paperbag!! I suspected that he bought me something from Tokidoki for Hello Kitty but just wondering what it would be. Ok, so before I went to Sanrio, Deardear bought a drink from Coffeebean so that he could enjoy his drink while I spent my time in Sanrio... Hahaa...
And after shopping at Sanrio, Deardear suggested going to town for awhile before we go for our dinner. I had no idea where he is bringing me for dinner coz I wanted it to be a surprise. And so we slowly walked back to the carpark. When I looked at my watch, it was 7plus already! So fast... It's dark... When we got back to the car, I decided to open my present this time. Tadah, I was right!! Deardear bought me the Donutella with Adios and Ciaociao mirror that I wanted so much when I first saw it at Takashimaya Sanrio the other day and also the cute Donutella toy figure!! I am SOOOOOOOOOO HAPPY!!! Hehehehehe!!! I LOVE IT SOOSOOSOOSOOOO MUCH!!!!!! v(^.^)V
Alright, so after surprising each other with our presents, what's next? Deardear drove to Orchard and we went to Paragon coz he wanted to see if there are new arrivals in G-Star... While in G-star, guess who we met this time? We met Eileen! Hahaaa... We met 2 friends on the same day.
We spent some time walking along Orchard Road and initially wanted to buy tickets to catch a movie after dinner... But I preferred not to watch movie that night coz we can always watch a movie on any other days.
As time passed, it was almost 9.15pm. Deardear has pushed the reservation for dinner to 9.30pm since we had a late lunch in the afternoon. So he drove me to the place for dinner... On our way there, I kept making guesses on the place that he was going to bring me to... After several wrong and silly guesses, I managed to guess the place correctly!! Hehee...
He bought me to Cicada at Portsdown Road. I managed to guess it bcoz he once drove me to that place and we passed by it. At that time, we had some difficulty looking for it coz that place seems quite dark and secluded last time.
When we reached there, there were many couples dining there. Almost every table was sat with a couple. The ambience is very quiet and romantic wor!! As for our food, we ordered lobster bisque and seafood salad with mango as our starters, I ordered tenderloin steak and Deardear ordered lamb steak for our mains and lastly, profiteroles for our desserts!! Everything was nice except the dessert which I think is not special enough. And I also did not really like the mocktail that I ordered... they called it the Candy Floss... which tasted like the cocktail called Snowball but tasted quite bland. It would have taste better if it was sweeter.
We took out time to eat until the restaurant closed at 12pm. Then we went to Millenia Walk which was our first dating place to relive our memories!! Ahahaaa!! It was so fun to go back to the place we first dated... But stupidly, we kept smelling breezes of cowdung after we sat there for awhile!!! But we were not able to find any cowdung near us. We wondered where the smell came from??! Kekeke!!! Anyway, the 'bah-wu' spoils the atmosphere!!! And so we decided to leave and head home once we started to smell the stinky air constantly between the short intervals of fresh air. Hahaaa...
