    See Red Day

    I was fuming this morning cos of work. 3 stupid ah nehs kept calling me, shouting at me and hanging up on me. It was their words against my word and unfortunately this time round, I forgot to ask the name of the damned woman whom I spoke to over the phone on Friday. I was really so pissed off, upset and stressed that I broke down into tears. My office and mobile phone kept ranging, the stupid ah nehs even scolded my transporter, really knn.

    I was trying my best to stay composed, but being screwed on a Saturday morning since 8am was really too much. While on the line with "Yang Zi", I actually couldn't take it anymore and tears started dropping. He could tell I was crying and asked me what happened. Told him what happened and he asked me the number of the idiot and not to pick up his call if that ah neh call again. He took revenge for me, called up the ah neh and screwed him, wahaha. When one of the ah neh called me, his tone was much more better and softer, thanks to "Yang Zi". Think he was mentioning the additional charges to my boss cos of the wrong info and told him as well that I was scolded till I cried. Boss called me to asked me what happen and I thought I would get another scolding, but he actually told me not to care abt those idiots and just to remember to get email from those idiots in future.

    After work, managed to catch the TM bus and took train to City Hall. Had made my appt at 2.30pm at Reds Suntec City with Kai. Coloured my hair, highlight and did "colour saver". Damage done = $230+ after 15% discount. Its a dark red base with red highlights. The highlights are kindda chilli red which Hubby and Mummy both said too red. But I told them if I get lost, they can look for me easily mah, haha. The actual colour is actually much more striking , hp cam not very good recently so not able to capture.


    Went to Raffles Hospital with Hubby to visit Tzuen's mum who is recuperating from her knee cap surgery. Got her essence of chicken that was caramel free as she has diabetes. She looks fine and hope she gets well soon. She's such a nice lady and hope to see her soon maybe when Tzuen is back or Christmas.

    Had a awful steamboat dinner at Tian Tian opp Shaw Tower and have put it on my never eat again list, yucks. Sucky service, food, no free drinks and waste of $, grr. Grabbed a cab to Hubby's place and we watched F1 qualifying rounds on TV. Before that, we could already hear the vroom vrooms from Bugis. Fell asleep towards the end cos I was really tired. Had already been dozing off while at Reds, seriously lack of sleep. Shall sleep early today and go Tampines in the afternoon to buy my contact lens.

    Meantime, I finally got a reply and quotation from the person. Surprise Part B completed! Have placed the order and waiting for the final product, hope it will be nice! Should be ready next week maybe Tues or Wed according to the PIC, waiting for their call once its ready. So excited~ Lol...

    Happy 75th Mth Anni!

    Yup yup, its been 75mths since we last dated, 6 years and 3mths. Hehe, feels like its so long le!

    Mmm, hope Hubby will sayang me more, love me more, miss me more, pamper me more and ahem... buy me more Coach bags, lol... Ok, the Coach bag part was kidding (won't mind though if he really give =p).

    We've come a long way, survived many storms, crossed many obstacles and despite several objections and trying to break us up attempts from my mum, we have managed to overcome. There were a few times when I was weak and felt I couldn't take it anymore, but he persisted and remained firm. He had stood beside me and fought the war, on my behalf sometimes. The man who hugged me tight and told me not to worry, that he will be there, that promised I still have him even if my family gives up on me, who wiped away my tears which I show to nobody. The only one whom I can not put a strong front on and admit I am crumbling down inside. Thanks...

    No words and no amount of thanks can express how much I appreciate his efforts. He has a demanding, fierce, bad tempered gf but is still so tolerating. For everything you've done for me, I thank you again, my dearest. Muacks~ We're 2 weeks away from applying our flat and hope this will be a step nearer to the future we are looking forward to.

    不离不弃, 我对你的承诺。 75周月快乐!

    Princess Treatment!

    Went for dinner after work at Jumbo Seafood (East Coast) with colleagues and our transporter. It was a treat from them, for what reason I'm not too sure though, haha. Maybe cos we been giving them business recently. Anyway, got food Bren will go, lol. Living up to the Greedy Monster Clan's name~

    I was sitting beside Gillian initially, facing "Yang Zi" and Vincent. But they asked me to shift over and sit beside them. I declined initially cos was lazy to shift, but they claim I blocking their view of whoever, so move over loh. Turns out that from the first dish till last dish, I didn't have to move my chopsticks further than my own plate becos I was served by Vincent! Haha. He took so good care of me. "Kiap" the food for me and even the chilli crab, he also cracked the claw's shell for me, I just had to eat the meat that he peeled for me and placed on my plate. Hehe, felt like a princess sia. My tea was refilled constantly, on off asking me if I wanna eat this, wanna eat that and making sure I eat full full. We had some small chat and jokes during dinner, so it was a pleasant and fun ambience.

    Before you start wondering why he's so good to me and if he has any motive, the answer is a big NO. Me and Vincent knew each other ages ago when I was in poly as he was the cousin of someone I know. We had lost contact for some years till we bump into each other again when I worked at Schenker. Coincidentally, he's our transporter as well. So in a way, I'm like a sister to him bah. To be honest, we didn't really have much chances to hang out in the past, I hang out more with his eldest brother. So was really surprised that he took such good care of me today. Maybe cos I was the only gal at that table, hehe.

    Food spread: Lobster salad - Thick, fresh slices of lobster meat, Salted egg prawns, steamed fish, abalone with spinach, chicken, hongkong mee, chilli crabs, scallops with celery and dessert was almond jelly with longans. Not sure if I missed out anything cos I only had to eat, hehe.

    There were quite a bit of chilli crabs leftover, so "Yang Zi' had da bao it. After dinner, some of them were going for drinks but I didn't join cos of curfew an d a bit weird also, I'm the only gal left. "Yang Zi" and Vincent sent me home on door-to-door terms. Along the way, I told "Yang Zi" to drop me at the coffeeshop will do cos I gotta da bao for mummy. Guess what? He gave me the chilli crabs to bring home as well! Haha~ He said they going for drinks, reach home dunno what time liao, might as well I bring home and eat, don't waste. So tadah~ Free chilli crabs, haha...

    Brenbren was a full, satisfied gal in a good mood when I reached home. Then received a sms from someone, dampened the mood: Be punctual tmr.

    Faintz... Ok loh, I shall try my best to wake up at 7am tomorrow. *yawnz*

    Not too good week

    Things has not been smooth this week, lots of hiccups here and there. Not enough manpower and everyone is chasing for things. Suppliers chasing for docs, sub-cert, permit etc, Accounts chasing for vouchers unbooked, booked wrongly, this and that.

    Then on Friday, at 4.25pm received email from a bitch, moreover is blue side one, kaoz. Its 4.25pm for goodness sake, sent me a list of import and export shipments which amount to maybe 1k+ to 2k shipments and expect me to remove the reserves within the day because its closing on Friday. What the hell. She think I sit there shake legs nothing to do or I got 8 hands? Though I sotong, also don't have so many hands and legs. Moreover, have to go through the list and check what's need to be done and I never seen this kind of report before, need to digest also. Went through the import list first when I was done with shipments and quick dinner. Out of 1,285 shpmts, 298 were not our shpmts. The reason why they appeared in that list was cos ops/consol had used our dept shpmt ref to "open" the shpmt when creating entry. Me and Bixin spent like an hour going through that list to check which shipments were not ours alone, Bixin helped to key in reserves for those that were not keyed in. By the time we finished these was already 10pm. So I did not remove the reserves that had to be done cos we both really tired and Bixin had to work the next day. I don't give a damn that she cc to the bosses, shipments more important or removing reserves more important?

    On a happier note, I got to eat at Ah Chew Desserts finally after so long on Saturday. The place has expanded and there are more tables, previously it was only half a stall. I had fresh milk steamed egg and peanut paste with tang yuan, while Hubby had HK style ice red bean drink with ice-cream. The fresh milk steamed egg was very nice and smooth, hope my skin can become that smooth also after eating, lol. The peanut paste was not as tasteful and thick as before but still not bad. Maybe next time try the black sesame paste bah!

    Counting down~

    9 more days to our 75th Month Anni (that's 6 years 3mths btw), 23 more days to 10th Oct!

    Hope that we'll be married before we hit our 100th Month which is 25 months more. I know I very gan cheong, but how not to panic when I been in a relationship this long with the same guy and my frens are getting married one by one, some of them in a shorter relationship than I am?

    Everyday I look into the mirror, I see: Pimples, fine lines, dark circles, big pores, blackheads, whiteheads etc. Signs of aging seem to be slowly but surely appearing. I don't smoke and drink, so lack of sleep, stress and routine skincare are the main culprits. I can almost imagine my collagen cells from "diong diong" become "......". Why ..... ? Because the skin cannot bounce liao, so no sound! Only the fats are all still super diong diong loh. Arghz, I must go on diet, I must exercise, I must sleep more, I must eat the last buffet before I start on that... Lalalala~

    Ok, I'm digressing liao. Anyway, my biggest wish of the year (other than getting Coach which has been granted) is to be able to get a flat in the coming Oct HDB 4-room flat sales. Hope there will be good flats in Tampines up for sales and maybe we can become neighbours for those are staying in Tampines already, hehe.

    Pls pray hard hard for us on the stroke of midnight on 9/Oct that we can get a good flat in a not so ulu part of Tampines, mid-floor and above and a "clean" flat. Err, you know what I mean lah hor? I don't only mean "clean" as in those floating but also no "ah long" , weird neighbours etc.

    And if we get the flat, you might be invited to our ROM a few months later, lol... =p Jiayou, Brenbren and Jimjim~ Sound very act cute hor? Ermm, Brenbren and kuku Jim then.. Wahaha, I cute can liao!

    Coach Coach Coach! Yippee~

    A BIG, BIG Thank You to My Dearest Hubby!

    Went to his place for dinner after work today and I did not know at all there were 2 surprises waiting for me.

    1st Surprise : Chilli Crab!
    We had chilli crabs and veggies for dinner. The crabs were yummy and so shiok. The meat was not "nua" and the "gong" had plentiful of roe, sinfully good loh.

    After finishing the crabs, went to kitchen to wash up. I wash hands, Hubby washed the plates etc. So sweet of him hor? I only have to eat, hehe... Then after washing up, we went back to the room to watch TV. While I was very unglam lying down on the bed and watching tv, came the 2nd surprise....

    2nd Surprise: COACH HERITAGE STRIPE WRISTLET & COACH HERITAGE STRIPE TOTE
    I got a big shock when I saw the big Coach paper bag. I was so stunned and speechless. I was like "OMG OMG OMG, you bought me Coach!" Inside the big bag was a big Coach box tied with a blue ribbon. Looked so class and pretty though the box was kindda torn, but nvm, hehe... After opening up the box, there was a smaller box inside in blue ribbon too! OMG~ Lots of figures were running through my mind and also I was really touched that he actually bought it. In the smaller box was the wristlet and in the big box was the tote. Moreover both were designs which I have shown him before.

    I was so excited and took loads of pics from the paper bag till the wristlet, hehe. Shall upload the pics over the weekend. Hubby had asked his friend's mum to buy it on his behalf when she went to Las Vegas. He had just collected the stuff at her place today while he was in the area. No wonder he had sms me asking me if I was going his place after work.

    I am really so touched and happy to receive these gifts from him and he told me that they were actually supposed to be my b-day presents. But as the bags only "flew back" last Friday, he had bought me a laptop first as my present. OMG, so sweet of him! I am really really so blessed.

    Today is such a special day because its 1 more month to the day when we will apply for the HDB flat and Hubby is 29yrs 5mths old as of today, haha. I never thought he would really buy these for me cos he has never really bought branded goods even for me.

    Hehe, tomorrow I shall bring my new bag to work, so excited! Some pics for preview~

    Weekend updates

    Worked till 2+pm on Saturday and met Hubby for lunch. Was supposed to stay back to clear my invoices which I have cleared a few, but din feel like burning my Sat, so decided to continue the next day instead.

    Got a lift from Gracie (thanks!) to Loyang and catch a bus to meet him at Tampines and we grabbed a cab to Far East Plaza. We went to have chicken rice cos we haven't ate there for some time. Disappointed though cos the food just wasn't up to the usual standard, dunno what happened.

    Started shopping after lunch for working clothes, but I think I'm too fussy and too fat, didn't find any ideal clothes at all. I need to lose weight, sob sob. Ended up buying the Vitamin E eyecream and Seaweed Exfoliator from Body Shop. Called Gracie to check if she wanna buy as well, we got the same problems... Panda eyes and fine lines... =( She wanted as well, so bought for her, its now in my bag awaiting to pass to her tomorrow. Headed to Lucky Plaza to see if there were any bargain buys and saw something I have been wanting to buy! The Kose Black Mask~ There was a 20% discount and it costs $28 only (usual $35). Looking forward to use it during the coming weekend since I won't have time to use during weekdays.

    As the time was still early and it was raining outside, me and Hubby went to Macdonald to get a drink while passing time. Hubby bought hot chocolate for me, yum yum! We sat there and watched some Youtube videos on his iPhone, hehe... Kindda sweet and funny. *blush*


    Oh, before we went Lucky Plaza, we passed by Ngee Ann City and there was a mooncake fair. Lots of mooncakes in different flavours from different hotels and bakeries. We went around trying quite a couple stalls and finally decided on The Regent Singapore's mooncakes. It was the nicest compared to those we tried at a heft price though. $51 for 4pcs of white lotus paste with double yolks. But I like the packaging also, kindda Oriental (it has a Chinese knot at the side of the box) with a modern twist, the cover is magnetic wor, so special! Hubby paid for it cos its for his future mother-in-law, haha... =p


    Hubby wanted to buy the Peony Jade's fluffy skin yam paste mooncakes but they were sold out. So sad cos these from the previous Crown Prince Hotel's chef. Maybe I should drop by during weekday and try my luck. =) Anyone keen to go? Hehe...

    Woke up around 10am on Sunday and took a cab to office to clear the invoices. Cleared like 70% of it, the rest were kindda too taxing to finish all in a day and I was feeling tired, hungry and thirsty by 5+pm. Decided to call it a day and dispatched whatever I had done by then. Tomorrow gotta chiong billng again le, jia you!!!

    Chionging...

    Not go clubbing that kind of chiong and anyway, most people who know me should know chionging once or twice a year is a blessing to me liao.

    Me and Bixin have been chionging billing invoices this week, been staying back for a couple of nights till 9 to 10+pm. Both of us are super shag and even there are temps, not really much of help. Not we complaining but because of our shipment nature, it is really too difficult to explain to them how to do the detaching and billing etc. Each case is almost different in someway or other and there have really been too many mistakes which end up in us having to re-do instead. The temp keeps changing as well, so its tiring to teach time and again.

    The latest guy is "gim moh", has "ang kongs" all over from arms to neck and Bixin is scared of him, haha. She's afraid if ask him to do too much work or if he do wrong and she say him, she will genna boxed. LOL... This gal really damn cute loh. As there are only 2 of us now only, we need to go on alternate Sat and she will be working same Sat as her "papa". She's really sad and told him she don't wanna see him. Faintz... My dear gal is really so ke ai and straight forward, haiz. Very courageous sia, haha.

    We still have mountains of invoices to clear and if all these are money notes, I think we can have a comfy L-shape sofa liao. Yes, its that kua zhang. Bixin has even been bringing home the docs to key into the report while I sort and tell her what to charge for those more complicated shipments. We have been trying to do a lot of matching as well cos a lot of shipments are a bit here and there, sigh... How?!?!

    Its 1.03 am le and I'm starting work in a couple of hours, I think better koonz while I can. I slept at 3+am cos felt so awake after sorting the docs at home, faintz. Good nite all. I will survive!

    Yippee~

    Ms G10 aka Ms KPO aka Ms Machine Gun aka many many more will no longer sit beside me later in the morning! Finally, if not I will really go mad. Just complained to Linda babe this morning that Ms G10 is really getting on my nerves and I will explode sooner or later if she remains.

    Anyway, lucky she is going over to the other side from today onwards. She tried telling me how to do SSA shipments!!! I was like screaming WTF in my heart, you think I don't know how to do after 1 year plus in MPS? Kaoz, are you doubting my knowledge or what? Really knn loh, trying to teach me and show me the D/O, the info is not even correct! Dunno how many times me and Dray told her to print as "Standard Custom Clearance" and not "Self Collection", but still the same. NB, I told her I know what to do, but she was insisting to tell me like that, bloody hell loh.

    Just when I though I don't have to talk to her liao, she called me around 9+pm, shouting "Brendan" into my ear. NB, she got a problem or what, keep mispronouncing our names. Told me SSA got a last min offlanding tomorrow morning and honestly dunno what she was ranting on till I asked her a few questions.

    Haiz, seriously hope the next person to come in will not be like that and at least have a B in English loh. No more G10 please!

    Boo Hoo.... Sotong again...

    Remember I bought the Aska Yang's VCD on Saturday? I only found out yesterday that its a CD, not a VCD.

    I had thought its a VCD becos the DVD version is $29.95, so I though VCD version is $21.95 only and bought that. Till yesterday, I told Hubby happily that I wanna watch the concert VCD at his place. He asked me what VCD? I told him, there - the Aska Yang concert VCD, then Hubby said its a CD, not VCD loh. No wonder he was wondering why I didn't wanna buy the DVD version instead on Saturday.

    Boo hoo... Why am I so blur? Told mummy about it, mummy cannot understand why she got such a blur daughter.... Sob sob...
