Air Climber!!

Finally finally finally! My long awaited Air Climber is on the way! Fastest would be this coming Saturday :) Ta la~~~~!!!

By right I should be ordering earlier as Mr Ong said he wanted to buy for me. Unfortunately ever since I told him I really really want to have it, quarrels set in...*SIGH* Whenever I asked him for SGD 178 to purchase Air Climber, we would quarreled (Don't wish to go in detail to spoil my mood).  Enough is enough!! Rather than "begging" others to buy for me, I might as well purchase myself hump! *lim bu wu backbone ok! NB! SGD 178 I don't have meh?!*

Anyway since I'm working from home today I thought why not I call the hotline to purchase? The transaction took less than 5 mins and I had placed my order! The customer service lady said fastest would be this coming Saturday if not would be next Saturday. Whichever the date the deliver guy will call me a day before the delivery. Ooooo am so so super excited. Finally I'm able to exercise at home hei hei hei..

Ever since I put on 10kg (yes 10kg! scary right? *shaking head*) This is how I look when I was 10kg lighter. Now..*BIG SIGH* Better not showing ha

 I've been very depressed. I tried to do some exercise near my place but the rainy days always spoilt my plan. I also tried to cut down on dinner but my weight still 10kg heavier than before. Losing weight really requires determination. Action speak louder than words. I really must action instead of dreaming my figure back to 10kg lesser. I'm glad I finally did it! Woo woo~~Hopefully after using the machine, I will regain my figure again and become pretty woman!

~Pretty woman, walking down the street
Pretty woman, the kind I like to meet
Pretty woman~

Shall blog on how the machine works for me. Stay tune!

Heart Shape Diamond Ring

This diamond ring is very beautiful right? I chanced upon a heart shape diamond ring (Similiar design to the above picture. Note: The diamond ring above is from Cartier and is super ex ooooo~~) when I was shopping at Tampines Mall today. Guess what? It cost SGD 783! I was so tempted to buy man!

I never have a diamond ring before and always want to have it. What to do?...Diamond is girl's best friend! LOLX! Naturally I fell in love with it the moment I saw it. I have a strong urge to have it but somehow I dare not take the risk.

I'm going to be jobless in 2 months time and by right I should save as much as I can instead of spending on the "want". However by left, I never really have something I love. I have been working, spending and saving non stop for family. It is all about family but what about me? I need something to motivate me to work harder and to reward myself right? *Super BIG SIGH*

All the women I knew have a proposal diamond ring. I don't have...who to blame but myself..SIGH SIGH married a man who doesn't love me so I never have someone proposed to me let along putting on a diamond ring on my finger *damn moody ahhhh!!! WTF!!*

~I hate myself for loving you .
Can't break free from the the things that you do.
I wanna walk but I run back to you, that's why
I hate myself for loving you.~

 I always fantasize one day my prince charming would come to rescue me from 'hell' and propose to me with a 1 carat diamond ring! Oh man so romantic~~~ I wonder what is the feeling of being proposed...*melting..drooling...*

*wake up LC wake up! slap slap slap* ok ok back to reality. Since dont have, I might as well rely on myself right. So am going to buy one for myself to reward ALL my hard works for the past miserable 5 years *lao mao sai (tearing)* But but but...don't know when..maybe when I won lottery muhahahaha Diamond ring here I come haa haa haa~~ ok ok I will remember to buy lottery ha~

Actually there is one ring I always wanted to have but 1 carat is super ex loh...ta la~~!! Brilliant Rose!!

~ooooooo~ am melting again..isn't brilliant rose beautiful? woooo~~I'll definitely going to have it when I have the money muhahaha~

Till then, I shall continue see the ring behind the glass...wait for me ok wait for me. I'll be back!

~This diamond ring can mean something beautiful
And this diamond ring can mean dreams that are coming true~

If only I can perfect myself further...

"You're way too beautiful girl

That's why it will never work

You had me suicidal, suicidal

When you say it's over"

By Sean Kingston

Even the song is about "Beautiful Girl"...where are songs about beautiful not girl? Yes we are all hypocrite (Pls don't tell me things like "beauty is in the eyes of the beholder" la, you are so shallow...la la la...SEARCH your heart before you dare to say you like unattractive thing!) We are created to like beautiful thing be it human or object. Before you make friend with someone, what is the thing that attracts you first before you decided on the next move? APPEARANCE! If that person doesn't appeal to you, would you take the first step to just say, "Hi!"? Guys......would you huh huh??

Yes nobody is perfect I know I know...Only GOD is perfect. However we have the right to perfect ourselves in our own view and GOD has created something even greatest to help us achieve our desire...Plastic & Cosmetic Surgery! YES!!

Everyday I asked myself these questions;

1. Why is my nose not straight?

2. Why no matter how hard I exercise, my tummy is still bulging? (It got worst after I gave birth..How I wish the fats would migrate to my breats instead... *~crying~*)

3. Why I have fatty thighs and the fats seem to be happily staying there refusing to leave no matter how many times of legs raise exercise I do daily?

4. Why is my arms so flabby that I think I can fly! ~~Ay, Ay, Ay, I'm your little butterfly~~

5. Why all my teeth is straight execpt one below that is protruding! *So ugly* :(

6. How to get rid of fine lines around my eyes areas? Why the eye cream doesn't seem to work?

7.  "Why...why...why..."

All my friends would tell me, "Come on! You are already beautiful, no need to do anything." "You should love yourself." or "Love yourself"...... You mean I don't love myself just because I want to perfect it more? You mean I don't appreciate GOD who created me or rather not happy with my parents' creation?? Please la!!~~ Seriously I'll never understand this point...well I don't care anyway ha :p

If everyone is so happy with herself / himself, why is comestic products so in demand? Why is Plastic and Comestic Surgeon so popular and expensive? Why is slimming centres, gyms, facial centres located EVEYRWHERE island wide? They are NOT cheap ok...

I am just stating the fact :p ho ho ho I am bad haa~

Well, it is not a major overhaul I want to do...just touch up a bit to be even more beautiful! Only if I have the money to do all these. I think to get rid of the excess fats from my tummy, arms and thighs, straightening my nose, and align my teeth, would cost a bomb!

"Money Money Money

it's so funny

it's rich men's world"

Where do I get the money?

Unless I won toto (but I didn't buy leh) or marry a rich man (but I already married leh) or rather some kind soul sponsor me (where to find such a kind soul?), I'll just continue to dream then...

Rationale? I disgree!

Imagine this scenario: You managed to squeeze out of the crowded MRT carrying a heavy business bag, trying to move your way out among the crowd, and while you finally reach the exit of the MRT station, you realised that it was pouring! Never mind, you took out your umbrella (do note that you are still carrying your heavy business bag) while making your way to the exit. From the end of the MRT Station Control to the exit you need to take the escalator up. It is about a storey high but alas! The escalator wasn't moving!! There was a signage in front of the escalator. It said,"The escalator is not operating due to rain." WTF!!!!! It wasn't moving not because the rain had spoilt it but because it was switched off. ~crying without tears~ WTF!!!!!

Well this is what happened to me everytime when it rain. I am working at Tanjong Pagar where I need to take train to work everyday. For those who take train to work you know how terrible the human traffic is during peak hour. The situation is worst when it is raining! You can imagine the number of people crowding at the Station Control... This is not the worst. The worst is you got to take the stairs up! Familiar??

Young people like me it is ok to take the stairs up. Though I do grumble (f**k la $#@), I take it as morning exercise. But what about those pregnant women and elderly? The floor is already slippery due to the rain and yet got to take stairs up (about 1 level) is really challenging to them loh. Not forgetting the human crowd adding pressure too. Mind you the crowd at Tanjong Pagar is really terrible...try put a food on the floor (Outside your house plsssss). What will you see shortly? Mountain of ants right? Well this is how it looks like in the MRT station during peak hour! Everyday without fail I got to wait for at least 3 trains to pass before I could manage to squeeze in one.

I gathered the rationale of not operating the escalator is because people tend to crowd around the exit area during raining day which is near the escalator. Very accident prone. What if some people accidentally step onto the escalator and fell backward? Dangerous...However my rationale is, what about those who can't take the stairs? Some got joint problem right? There isn't any lift at that entrance too. I suppose something must be done to resolve this issue. You can't be off the escalator whenever it rain. Make sense?

Perhaps extend the shelter so that people do not crowd within the small area at the exit place. Or get the MRT staff to stand beside the escalator to monitor the situation. You know what I mean? Do something! It is really annoying whenever I face this situation especially I already so tired rushing to work.

My rationale is, escalator is supposed to convenient us not inconvenient us. Agree?

How do you feel when you cane your kid? Terrible!

Canning kids is a No No such thingy in Western world. Love education is what they stressed. However in Eastern world, especially Chinese, canning as a form of disclipine is very very common. Parents today especially young parents, hardly cane their kids. Most adopted "love education" or combine of Love & Canning.

I tried to use both. Till now I have yet to master a discipline method that suits my Mini Ong aka my son.

Take 1

Take 2

Take 3



Take 4 (Kiss)

Isn't he adorable? Isn't every mother is proud of her kid? I am! Because I love him more than myself, it hurts me the most when I have to cane him.

For the past one month, Mini Ong has been giving problem every morning. He refused to go to school giving me excuses like, he wants to sleep, he is tired, he does't want to go to school etc. He has been going to this new school since March 2011 and everything was fine until Sept. I was late for work practically everyday! This morning was the worst. He even refused to put on uniform, sitting on the floor crying. You can imagine next..he cried all the way to school...*BIG SIGH*

In the end, we got no choice but to cane him. Only then he reluctantly got ready for school. The whole episode took almost 30mins!

I wanted to hug him to give him comfort when he was crying but at that point of time, I was too mad to do so. I wasn't even wanted to talk to him on the way to school. This is the first time I was so mad at someone that my chest was hurting. I suppose the pain is a combination of anger and heartache.

I don't think any parents in the right state of mind would enjoy canning their kids. You can imagine how terrible I felt till now.

As I am blogging, my mind is thinking how to talk to him tonight so that this drama will not repeat tomorrow (Oh GOD tomorrow I have a conference call at 9am which mean he has to leave home even earlier with me). I am also thinking how to educating him so that he feels love by us at the same time knows the limit. I am even thinking where to bring him this coming weekends to enjoy.

Gosh it is really not easy to be parents especially working mother. Imagine my routine daily; woke up 7am (max to laze on bed), prepare to go to work, prepare milk for Mini Ong so that he drinks while I am dressing, prepare Mini Ong for school, leave home at 7.30am, send Mini Ong to school, goes to work, off work, goes to Parents' place to pick Mini Ong, shower him, do some housework, read or practice writing with Mini Ong, surf a bit of net, and sleep. Can you imagine how tight and tedious my schedule is from Monday to Friday?

Saturday would be family's day and Sunday is housework day where Mr Ong and I have to clean the whole house.

I wonder how those working mothers (without maid) survive..to me, I have reached a limit. I suppose if I don't figure out how to relax while doing all these, I will go crazy soon. Who knows the next mother who commit suicide with her son is me? *Touch Wood!*

Till then, I just hope I can keep cool and minimise canning Mini Ong.

Love you always <3

Taste bud unsatistified

Saturday was a great day for me as it was family day. Normally we (with Mr Ong aka my hubby) will plan a programme for Mini Ong. We believe that Mini Ong deserve to enjoy his weekends after a long weekdays of studying.

It was my uncle's birthday and he had checked in Siloso Beach Resort to relax. He wanted our family to have fun hence my mummy suggested she would bring Mini Ong along. We were of course happy to let her bring Mini Ong (We couldn't decide whether to go with them initially). Later in the evening, we decided to go to Siloso Beach Resort to look for them.

As it was a last min decision, it was dinner time when we reached Sentosa. Mr Ong and I went for dinner while the rest of my family member went for a walk along the island. We didn't know what to have for dinner and we also didn't want to spend too much money on food too. After looking around, we decided to have Asian food instead so we went to the restaurant specially for Asian Food. It was a wrong decision man..

*Disclaimer: My personal view does not represent everyone's view*

We ordered, 2 cokes, Ice Kachang, Chicken Briyani, Beef Rendang, 6 pieces fried chicken, and Wasabi Mayonnaise Shrimps. Very basic authentic Asian food you can find any part of Singapore. We thought having it in a restaurant at Sentosa the food would be much tastier than outside foodcourt or hawker center. We were so so wrong. Not only the serving were small, the waiting time was long and the food were super oily! Oh man...

Smile (this was taken while waiting for the food to be served) Look how happy I was (not knowing the worst is coming (-_-)). I was damn hungry loh..

Contestant number 1:- Ice Kachang!

Not bad though the Ice Kachang selling at the foodcourt near my house is better loh. There was a weird bitter taste which I couldn't tell the taste. Rating: 5 stars being the best and 1 star being the worst.

Appearance: 4

Taste: 3

Contestant 2: Wasabi Mayonnaise Shrimps



The shrimps were super small! It was coated with flour and deep fried it. Why Wasabi Mayonnaise? Because the sauce was a mixtual of mayonnaise and wasabi. It was oily but the shrimps were really fresh. It could have been good if the floor itself is not ordinary..there was not special ingredient..

Appearance: 2

Taste: 3

Contestant number 3: 6 pieces fried chicken

The 6 pieces fried chicken tasted not bad but when you see the oil stain on the plate. It kind of turn off. I know fried stuff is suppose to be oily. My rationale is, the cook should have let the oil drip off and wipe it with absorbent kitchen paper to clear excess oil before served.

Appearance: 3

Taste: 3

Contestant Number 4: Chicken Briyani

The Chicken Briyani could have been rated higher if the portion is bigger and less oily. Guys don't "kill me". I know Briyani is SUPPOSE to be oily but seriously this is way too oily! I should have taken the photo of before and after then you know what I meant. The fragrance of the rice is also not strong. As for the chicken, I was disappointed that they only serve chicken tigh. I know I know tigh is more costly than other part of the chicken but I love breast meat! I believe there are people out there who prefer breast meat too right. The restaurant should let customer have the option. When I asked the waiter whether the tigh can be changed to breast meat, he told me not possible as the Briyani was already cooked before hand. *Cook before hand? Isn't it should be cooked upon order?* ?????
Appearance: 3
Taste: 3.5

Our last but not least Contestant...

Contestant Number 5: Beef Rendang



Beef Rendang was perhaps the most disappointing dish. It was very very dried. There were no gravy on it. Just dried Beef Rendang. Those who love Redang would love it with more gravy and yellow rice. This Beef Rendang was served with white rice. The portion was also small. It was enough for ladies but not for men unless the man is a small eater. As Mr Ong dig the rice, what we saw was oil! The rice below was coated with red oil..It was so oily that I don't think anyone would want to eat that. Again, I should have taken the before and after photo. Pardon me ok as this is the first time I blog about food *paiseh*

Appearance: 3

Taste: 2

Overall we will not patronize the restaurant again. We would rather go dine at Mcdonalds which is commonly found island wide than eat there.

Well, there are my personal views. It does not mean everyone dislike it. I am not a food blogger or someone very good with food but I do love to share what I experience. It will be up to the rest to decide.

It's time to sleep. Ciao!

Good Luck

~La la la la la la It's a happy song~

source: http://www.smurf.com/smurf.php/www/home/en

~La la la la la la sing a happy song~ such a familiar song! Those of you who were born in the 80s and below should be very familiar with the cartoon. I remember when I was a kid, I used to watch the cartoon together with my little brother every sunday morning at 9am. No matter how tired we were, we would force ourselves to wake up and watch it.:) :)

"Smurfs"

Characters

Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Smurfs

Main article: List of The Smurfs characters

Papa Smurf is the leader of the community. Other Smurfs are generally named after their personality disposition, for example, Brainy, Greedy, Vanity, Lazy, Clumsy, Hefty, Jokey, Dreamy, Grouchy, or their profession, for example, Poet, Actor, Handy, Harmony, Farmer, Clockwork, Painter, Tailor, Miner, Architect, Reporter, Timber, Barber and Doctor Smurf. Other Smurf characters include Gutsy Smurf and Smurfette. Smurfette was created by Gargamel to lure the other smurfs. Papa Smurf then changed her into what we see today. The non-Smurf characters who would appear later would include the evil Gargamel, his cat Azrael, and the page Johan, who went from print to film and TV. Johan appeared on the Smurfs TV series in the 1980s, and on the same show, Peewit became Peewee, Johan's young friend. Lord Balthazar is Gargamel's godfather. Balthazar despises the Smurfs and is actually more cold-hearted than Gargamel, in addition to being a more powerful sorcerer. He lives in a large castle whose moat houses a fearsome dragon called a Moat Monster.

I remeber it was so popular during the 80s that even my birthday present was 2 smurfs soft toys! I had it on my 5 year old birthday. I am proud to say after 26 years, it is still in very good condition. :) :)

Lately, the Smurf is being re-introduce to us especially to the generation after the 80s who may not know what is Smurf, as movie. It was a family comedy 3D movie. The review was really good and all my friends who had watched with their kids love it! It was all over the facebook status *wow*

I thought it is a good chance to introduce Smurf, my childhood favourite cartoon, to my son, Mini Ong. So we actually watched together yesterday. Mini Ong was facinated initially. Not by the Smurfs but by the waterfall and explosion! The questions he asked were, "What happened to the cat after it fell into the water?" "What happened to the thing? Exploded!" The most funny question was, "Why is the Santa Claus (Papa Smurf he meant) blue colour!" See how kid relates thing LOLX!

Mini Ong even commented that the Smurfs were very noisy (when they sing). "So noisy" he said. Confirm. Double Confirm! Mini Ong doesn't like Smurfs. He still pefers his Barney kekeke

Well, at least I had done my part to introduce Smurf to him. He would not feel left out if his friends are talking about Smurfs. At least he can comment, "So noisy!" kekekeke

I must say it really brings back fond childhood memories :)

Good Luck
