The latest fashion trends in Japan! Flora Prints!

Aiyoyo, shouldn't have uploaded my bike pic. Ban Dang... Cos they say dun take photos of your own bike if not will get into accident de. Last time my dear took 3 pics of his first bike and ended up with 3 jialat jialat accidents. Now i kana too. Really true wor. Actually my accident still not very serious ba...

On tuesday after post call, I went to north point to meet up with one of my customers (and did some shopping as well). After that when i was on my way home, just about to turn into my block carpark, my bike popped a stunt, feels as though the gear kana stuck while i was turning, then BONG! I lost control of my bike and fell. Luckily the van behind me stopped just in time, if not i will become roti prata liao. (without curry sauce, just some chilli sauce and taufu... Yikes!) Hahah. I quickly get to my feet and tried to pull up my bike, but think the shock was too great for me, until my whole body feels like jelly. Cant even move my bike a inch. And the very very kind malay driver of the van helped me to pull up my bike and even volunterred to pushed it into the carpark wor. Really a great guy! THANK YOU!

Maybe that the benefits of being a gal rider. When got problem, the guys will surely help up de ba... Smiles:o

I was wearing denim and long sleeve then, so no BAKGUA just blue black on my left knee.(Until now haven disappear yet...) So Paisei sia, all the Kopi Diam uncles and aunties are looking at me as i stood bside my stupid bike waiting for my dear to come down and help me check what the stupid problem it got. Sigh... Now still got a bit of phobia of my bike. Scared will cock up and pop stunt to me again.

This month is really suei, kana 3 bird shits on my bike, 1 bike summan and 1 minor accident and first time scrubbed the worse surgeon (Dr Smelly) in nuh mot's operation. Still can get how worse? Must go BAIBAI before i go taiwan le...

Once again, i will really like to thank the malay guy for all his help:)

My little Yamaha motorbox. I have been riding on it for around 2 yrs le wor. Actually wanted to buy SP de, but my Dear dun allow, saying that too dangerous for me;p

Dear brought this boxing bag online. It's really big and heavy. He hang it in our bedroom. Only he plays with it, my hands are too weak for tt.

This are the old pics taken during Chinese new year period. Xiao xuang, Alzeeha and me are send for this talk at Marina Mandarin Hotel by NUH MOT. The talk is boring as usual, but we like their LO HEI session. The Chopsticks are so long and the bowl is soossoo BIG!

Sorry to the slow updates. Can't blame me too much also, cos my life is very boring de, want to update more often also got no contents. *Ha*

Me wearing my big pink sunglasses! A bit too big for my face as you can see from the pic *haha* Brought it during my Taiwan Trip last june. I will be going with my sis to Taipei again on April5th :0 Can't wait for the day to come!

Acting cute ;p *so sorry for affecting your appetite.

Intriducing to our DEAREST DA BI ZI Edmund! He got a really big nose yay. *Smiles* He's really a good guy, quite rich and the best part: single and available wor. Interested do email me. *Haha*

This is Hui Shan, the other birthday gal, we were having our free sample starbucks cappucino:) The cup is really cute, and it's yummy! *PS: It's Wisma de Starbucks giving out free samples, so you all should pass by more often;p

After eating, shopping and rotting for a few hours, Huiwen finally joined us after her busy work. And we headed for Singapore Flyer! Our main programme of the day. This is our e tickets Huiwen helped us to print out.

Night view of the Singapore Flyer, CHIO wor!

View from the top top top of the Singapore Flyer.

Yup no kiding... This is Edmund with his BIG Big Tripod stand for his camera. He actually carry this heavy thing around one whole day inside his backpack. Was really amuzed when he pulled that out. Told you he was rich right? Haha.

Hmm.. The ride cost $29 plus, a bit expensive for this around 30mins ride. Unless got people to treat me next time, I die die also won't go for it again.

We went to starbucks Orchard to have a drink after the ride. Meanwhile waiting for time to pass by cos we booked a ktv room at party world at 1am. Really too long never stayed out so late le, a bit tired and sleepy. Luckily the power coffee appears!

Inside Partyworld. Really cold inside, wen borrowed me her CSS windbreaker. We had a great time until 5am. Partyworld really stingy, 4 hrs means 4 hrs, auto shut down of system de. I prefers K box to them, cos K box you still can continue to sit and sing until they chases you out. *wink*

Will upload more photos when edmund send the rest to me:0

It's already so late le and i am still so wide awake@.@

Luckily I am working afternoon shift tml, still not so bad ba. Been uploading new preorder designs for dezirefashionz one whole afternoon. (morning ler? zzz of course:p) Very poor now, that why must work harder to earn more money! Haha! Just now went to visit Dawn Yang blog. So sua Gu me, now then know that this girl exists. Think all other people already heard about her long long long time ago ba. She's really pretty ne, a bit like vivian (the pretty singer overseas). But other pple say is all plastic surgery de. Wa! if really is true, then she is really rich and very BRAVO wor. Can tahan all the pain to go through that ne.

Just a double eyelid surgery to me, is already soo painful and soo soo expensive le. Sigh, just like the chinese saying BU TONG REN YOU BU TONG MING. IF only my family was rich. "Think too much le la'.

Better change topic fast, if not i will be dreaming of plastic surgeries again...

Just this evening, I asked my boyfriend this question:

"Dear, nowadays, do you ever have the thought of putting everything down, take your bag and go home while you are still working?"

Dear replies: " No wor, work so long liao, I actually felt the opposite. I rather stay at workplace to slack for a while more after my work finished before heading back home..."

Huh, I actually feel tt way ler. Everyday when i woke up, I actually dreaded going to work. And while working, i will look forward to my shift end and even can countdown the number of hours left efore i can go home wor. Jialat le, like this how can i finish my 3 years bond there? (I signed a contract with nuh for 3 yrs so as to get paid monthly while studying the nursing diploma in NYP.) I really really need to change my mindset now. But how? I doesn't have any clue on where to start with.

Any one has any ideas? Pls kindly enlighten me...

I always kinda of have the feelings that pple are always taking advantage of me while working. I always seem to be the one scrubbing for the longest cases and running around. Until i broke down in tears one day after work. Halfway riding back home and crying. I felt so angry inside me, but i just dun dare to say out... (I admit I am really a very bad cry baby, just like a water tap, once opened, difficult to close tt kind) Especially hated working with that XX. Senior but useless, very very smart though. Knows how to make full use of other juniors. Everytime working with her, is like one person doing double jobs, work until like mad. Hope can c her less often for the rest of my working life... (Nan lor...Unless she quits... But think i will quit first after my bond ends ba.)

Aiyo, so so late le. Better force myself to go slp. If not tml sure panda eyes... @.@

The cease is lowered, but looks a bit uneven ne. The right side is more natural then the left side.

Day 1: Still swollen but not as bad le. Some of my collegues just thought i had eye infection. Can be covered with specs.

Taken on Thursday night after the surgery.Eyelid is swollen and the suture site very prominent.

The cease is very high up due to the swollen lids.

The botox really works ne! The eyebag is gone!

Yes! I have done my double eyelid surgery le. Here is the story:

On last thursday, i arrived at the TLC clinic with full make up wearing contact lens. My doctor is DR Myint. She is a really nice and gentle lady (philipines? myanmar?) and she speaks really softly. (Sometimes very difficult to figure out what is she toking about *haha*)

Dr Myint: Hi Huimei, so what will you like to do?
Me: I wanna have double eyelids Dr.
(She looked at my eyes, and took out the double eyelid glue Y stick)
Dr Myint: Ok, your eyes are symetrical, very good. So how high you want your cease to be?
Me: Hmm.. Anything wor... Haha, I not so sure, as long as looks nice can le. I want tapered crease!
Then she started to use the stick and instructed me to open and close my eyes ++++ times. After sometimes, we decided on having medium tapered crease.
Dr Myint: Ok so when do you wanna do the surgery?
Me: Hmm, the day before the good friday ph can? cos i will have longer break for me to rest my eyes.
Dr Myint: Oh so sorry, i leaving overseas for training from 20th onwards to the end of March. How about next wk saturday?
Me: Huh. I next sat working morning shift ler.
Dr Myint: Haha, so now how? How about today? I have cancelled some last minute appointment later. But you tml working right?
Me: Hmm, okok. Today do can:)
Dr Myint: Really? Then tml how?
Me: Tml pm shift, nvm de, anyway, all my collegues knew i going for this surgery le, its ok even if my eyes are swollen like goldfish. Hahahaa

And so, they brought me to the second storey procedure room to prepare for the surgery. Firstly, I need to take out my lens and wash off my make up. Then the nurse helped me to wear a hair band to keep my hair off my face. their facial foam is very good ne! Really washes off every bit of make up off my face. If only that facial foam is included in the package.

Next is the most tiring part of all: the marking. Same thing again, Dr Myint used the Y stick to create the crease and to do the marking. I opened and closd my eyes many many time, until i could hardly open them towards the end of the first hour. And then she will take some pics of my eyes for the before and after photos collection.

Finally, after the marking is done, i proceeded to the operating table. There, Dr Myint did one last checking of the markings before starting the op.

First: they cleaned my face with plain chlorhexidine, followed by draping (leaving only one rectangular portion of my eyes exposed. Then Dr Myint injected my eyelids with LA. So painful! (To me lah, cos my pain threshold is very low.) Next she cut 3 slits on my upper eyelids and flipped my eyelid over (really uncomfortable) and give LA again (Hurts the most!) and cut 1 slit as well. Next she started the stitching le.

The whole procedure just took about 45 mins or less, really fast, and except for the injections, the rest doesn't hurts at all. But you can feel the cutting and the sewing:0 And Dr Myint also gave me some botox injections to my lower eye bags to reduce the muscles puffiness. She say this will help to enhance my eyes. The botox is $100, she says will last for around 6 months. Ai Mei is like this de. Haha. After that, the nurse gave me cold compress for about 10mins to reduce the swelling of my eyes before i go home.

Cos this is a last minute decision, I never brought my specs or even sunglasses. I just walked out of Far East shopping centre, looking as blur as ever as I couldn't see my way clearly. Luckily, after spending some time, I found the taxi stand which is next to the shopping centre and took cab home.

The first thing my bf saw me when i reached home is: Wa! Pain or not? Never put you to sleep de meh?
Me: Where got sleep de, this kind of minor surgery normally is awake one de mah...
Bf: Yikes... Er Xin....
*Diao...*

Dunno why can't upload the photos here. Keep on having problem. Nvm will upload once ok:)

Sorry for the bad words in this post. I am really fed up le, that's why.

I just got back home from my on call, very tired and eyes still swollen from the tears just now after work. Cos my outdoor slippers got stolen again. (As we need to change into OT clogs at our workplace locker room and we can put our outdoors shoes on the shoe racks provided.) This is the second time during my 7 months work in nuh OT.

First time i lost my shoes, I am already very upset over it le as the shoes are brought during my taiwan trip last june and is really comfortable and pretty. This time round, i lost de slippers cost only $6.90 per pair (silver MAD one strap flats) and the dunno who stupid bitch is so cheap skate until stealing them. I got so angry and frustrated that i broke into tears immediately while wasting almost 30mins looking up and down the many many shoes kept in the female locker room.

Why can't she just spare a thought for the owners of the shoes? We got no shoes to wear home after work ok. And i have to borrow another pair of shoes from my collegue to be able to go home. Yes, I admit that we should be partly responsible for not keeping them in our own lockers, but i got no choice! The sister only provided us with 1 locker to be shared by 2 persons. The locker is already so full with our bags and wallets and to put our 'dirty shoes' inside our locker? it is mission impossible.

This stupid lady, whether is it deliberately or accidently took my shoes home 2 times, with gonna have retribution in future. Maybe no legs to wear any shoes in future? This is no joke ok, I think she must have already collected over 30 pairs of free shoes from the female locker room. I also dun quite understand why she did that? To sell at 2nd hand flea market or she is really sick in her mind. Should go and consult some psy or admit to IMH. AARgHH!!!!

*Phew..* Pardon me again for my rudeness, normally i very polite le, but now i am really 'erupted'. Hope the sisters will find the culprit through the camera placed in our locker room. So sleepy now, only had 4 hrs of slp this morning as there are many emergency cases running in OT. Slept from 3am to 630am. Feel that pimples are going to pop out anytime now. Gonna get some more beauty sleep before i go for the double eye lid surgery consultation @ orchard @ 5pm... Ja Ne!
*Will upload the waiter photo tonight. ;p

Sister and me on the transport bus arranged by our cousin to the Novotel Hotel for their wedding dinner. The bus is real slow man, took almost 30 mins from woodlands to reach ang mo kio to pick up some other pple then another 30 plus mins to the hotel. Sit until bum pain due to bummpy bus. Spent all the time taking funny photos with sis until my hp batt turns yellow. (Warning! Going to die soon!)

Finally arrives at the ballroom after spending another half an hour waiting at the cocktail area for all the guests to arrive. The hotel looks boring and lousy from the outside, but it's actually quite chic and classy inside wor. The ballroom name is cinnamon and is located at the fifth floor of the hotel. The stage deco is quite chic too. Heard from my cousin that it costs around $700++ per table. Not bad ne, moreover the food is good too:) I liked their deep fried garlic chicken best! *Hehe. I am a chicken lover! *As i am allergic to seafood, dun eat beef, dun like pork. Very picky eater.

I am trying to take the flower ornament behind my aunt. It's sort of like plum flowers? I'm not sure but it's the kind you can see during Chinese New Year de. Their services are still ok, the waiter will portion only certain food. Our waiter looks like Xie Tin Fong wor. My sis and i tried to snap his photos secretly and after many many fruitless tries, we finally got one pic that looks good. *Haha Will upload the pic once my sis send to me:0

A lot of my relatives can't even recognise me le, think i changed a lot ba. More pretty? Ne... Fat hope... Haha. Think too long never go visit them le baa...

Their doorgift: Thank you chocolates and a couple key chain. I ate the chocos before the dinner starts as i am really hungry.

Me! and the very extra sis hand....
Well, the whole dinner ended around 9pm++ and i took a ride home on the transport bus provided...
That's all. I will try to upload the waiter's photo asap as promised *hehe*
