we are suppse to go last weekend but the non-stop rain force us to postpone it by a week. i have no idea what she’s planning and i stop guessing after awhile ! haha !

she told me to get ready by 5pm and will pick me up.
she called me at 5pm to meet her at the bus stop near my place.
i hop into the taxi and try very hard to see where we are going !

*waiting for our instructors

*changed into boots

*stroll around the field !

*i had to pass my phone to my instrutor, he pass to jen’s instructor, pass to jen and take a photo of me ! haha

*i love this photo !
say hi to Puma ! he used to be a race horse ! he retired and now this is his new job scope !

*i look so awkward doing this stupid pose which my instructor asked me to .. -_-

it is a challenge getting off the horse ! bend foward, swing right leg over the horse and DROP !!

$67? or is it $69 ?
i was thinking about it and i realised.. this is my most exp bag ever and its a gift from Jen to celebrate our 10 years of friendship !

*from charles & keith

she actually set a sizeable budget to buy smt for me but i refuse to get a super pricey bag.
my requirements for this bag: big enough for lunch box and story book !

i gotten my yearly mrs chua bonus ! erm… actually, i hv no idea how come i am entitled to a lump sum from mr chua. anyway, why waste time thinking of ‘why’ when i could use the time to think ‘how to spend it’

i was telling pumpkin.. wah, 1.5k can buy a LV bag !
he gave me the LOOK.

he was shocked to see me with so many shopping bags ! the only time i carried so many shopping bags is when we go NTUC for our grocery shopping..

anyway, i put my money to good use:

*i got smt for his parents / my in-law ! i really wanted to get those bottled bird nest but my in-laws recently brought quite abit of  the “real” bird nest. im sure they wont be impressed with the bottled-version. i was looking around and i saw this peng cai, $88 from new moon ! fyi: eu yan sang is selling their verison of pang cai at $138. i decided to save $50 and get new moon.

*these are for my parents. i’m too stingy to buy those ‘real’ bird nest, i settled for the next best thing ! these are $20 each. i got a bottle for pumpkin and a bottle for myself 🙂

*i got these for pumpkin. he really needs to take better care of his eyes. and i found out recently, he love black chix soup ! i shall be nice and cook these for him 🙂

*got myself a pair of shoes ! there’s a 30% sale, its about $33.

*finally, i passed him this top from Zara. believe it anot, this is the cheapest polo tee i can find at vivo ! i refuse to spend $50 and above on a POLO-Tee. He need a new top for CNY and ta-dah, $36 !

so.. all in all, i spend about $280. what did i do with the rest? use it to pay off the necklace i got for Jie and my jean yip nails package. did i mentioned i save $600 ! woohoo !

i was aiming to get a eye cream but its $70 !! couldnt bring myself to spend that kinda amt on a eye cream. hehe, happy with myself ! 1.5k make alot of pple happy 🙂

someone press the office door bell and my colleague is not around.
i decided to get the door.

he: its for you?
me: shyly.. ya, from my husband. thank you !

 *he selected the PT24 – Love of My Heart

*PT24 says: She may be simple and down-to-earth, but she’s still
everything you’d hope she would be and more!

*i am the love of his heart… awwwww

i went to New Station Beauty Salon (Clementi) last friday to perm my hair.

4.00pm – reach salon 4.05pm – seated 4.10pm – hair perm 8.00pm – end of hair perm

happily walk towards the cashier wanted to thank them for their service. i was told to pay $60. i explained to the lady that mine is a groupon deal. she say $60 for digital perm, the groupon is only normal perm.
me: but no one informed me about the additional $60
lady: i am sure someone inform you!
me to the hair stylist: you didnt tell me there’s a top up !
hair stylist: i tot someone informed you.
lady: look, there’s a “plus 60” beside your name at the appt book.
me: but no one inform me. fine, i pay.

i have wrote a feedback to Groupon informing them of merchant being dishonest in their service. i dont want / need any money back, but either will i visit New Station again.

*i am not too pleased with the end result

i agreed with the statement – left handers are creative people!

purchased a blog-shop dress recently and i couldnt add new payee to my dbs account (some stupid errors keep occurring).. i asked pumpkin to help me IB the dress-seller. Pumpkin did a ATM transfer instead of IB coz he left the ‘tinky’ at home.

i have to submit the following information to seller:
Bank Acct Transfer To: POSB
Mode of Payment: ATM Transfer
Transaction Reference: xxx
Transaction Date: 09 Jan
Transaction Time: 9.30am
Nickname: –
Upload Tranasction Slip: upload? what upload?

i try to key in ‘dash’ at the upload section but it doesnt work. i couldnt click submit too ! this is what i do….

*grab a piece of paper, wrote that, scan and upload !

pumpkin couldnt believe i did that ! well, what else could i do?! i seriously consider uploading xiao rest’s photo but i thought that will be too silly.

fyi… my payment went though !! the seller has mailed out my dress ! 🙂

left handers are creative pple ! totally agreed !
