Pretty Heels ^^

My latest baby!

Isn't this pretty?

It was literally calling out to me to bring her home! Awwwwww....how can I resist such calling from a pretty pair of heels??

Love it! <3

Phuket Phuket!!

Nothing much happened recently or nothing major that inspires me to write about it. BB is leaving in 10 days' time (Yes, time flies!!!!OMG!!!) I am trying to plan what I can do during the four long months without him by my side.

For a start, I booked Melly and myself a trip to Phuket!!!! Exactly 3 weeks after BB depart which I feel is a very good timing as I will missed him to death by then and going on a trip with twinie will relieve some of the sadness.

So looking forward to the trip as it is actually my first trip with twinie and I am sure we'll have a blast because both of us plan to hide from the SUN. Yes, it may sound mad that we are going to Phuket and we plan to hide from the sun whereby Phuket is well-known for its beaches, BUT who says go Phuket must go to the beach?!?!? Hahahaha!

This trip, twinie and I plan to go there to have good food, good sleep, great drinking sessions, great shopping and most importantly, hide from the sun!

So looking forward to 9th July and both of us are going to bring our luggage to work and leave for the airport straight from the office! Yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! :D

Love Affairs with my shoes

Some of you may think that I am mad but I seriously LOVE shoes. It has almost become an obsession as I started to feel upset when I do not have space for my lovely shoes (and bags) and the worst part is, I can't buy any shoes!! How bad can that get??!??! Gosssssssshhhhhhhhhhhh!

Last weekend when I brought my laundry over to my mummy's place (I can't operate the washing machine for christ's sake and don't intend to learn till I get my own place), I saw rows and rows of my shoe boxes (of course with my shoes inside!) and I can't explain how happy and relieved I felt! I know it sounds crazy and I felt crazy for feeling this way! All of a sudden it felt like I can feel that I have shoes again! Many many many pairs of shoes!!!

Well, I know it's not like I don't have any shoes right now, just that I can't 'see' them! With the constraint of space, I gotta hid my beautiful shoes in their boxes and in my empty luggages and as time goes by, I started to forget about their existence and kept thinking that I don't have shoes to wear :(

I have this particular pair of beautiful suede peep-toe boots in soft lovely grey from Jimmy Choo that I can't bear to wear as I do not have an area to place and air it properly as I don't want it to end up all stinky in the boxes. Can you imagine that I love it so much that I can't bear to wear without a proper storage place?? Well, I love all my other Choos as well but this pair is amazingly soft and comfy!

Nowadays, I keep on wearing my fluffy slip-on heels for work as this pair of shoes make me feel casual and lazy as it's my 'lowest' pair of heels (so if anyone of you sees me in this pair of heels, it's my lazy day) and I seriously need to buy another pair to keep soon as I can sense that it's going to fail me soon.

How I wish I can have my own little nest ASAP so that all my beloved shoes (bags and clothes) will get their own little "home".

Breakfast @ Riders Cafe

BB and I finally had breakfast at the much coveted Riders Cafe on a bright bright sunday morning. Well, this place is so popular that when I make a reservation on Tuesday, they only have the 830am and 2pm slot vacant. Isn't that MADNESS? (Please note that it's at a very ulu place in Bukit timah)

Well, I personally think I am a little mad too. To wake up at 730am on a Sunday morning (I don't even wake up this early for work) to go to an ulu place for breakfast. Oh well, I'll just take it that I need fresh air once in a while after I confirmed the reservation in a spur of the moment.

The ambience wasn't too bad and there are quite a few tables filled when I arrived. I thought I was real early but apparently there are some people that are even earlier. Madness.

Overall, it felt cozy but it was a tad too hot for me as the place is non-airconditioned and they probably had on 50% of the ceiling fans. The service was only so-so as they are seriously under-staffed when we arrived. The tables were soon filled and most of the customers were actually expats.

The cute angmoh baby that actually pull off the entire stem of the plant behind him

BB looking all fresh and happy

Me looking like a ghost and trying to smile with 4hours of sleep

We waited for quite a while for our breakfast and finally, it was served.

BB's Riders Breakfast

My scrambled eggs with chao ta potato

Decent pancakes

The food was alright but I dont think I will go back there again as it's too way out and I personally prefer wild honey :)

Guess it's my first and last time there.

BB playing soccer

Yes, BB played soccer last week. Some of you may think that what's the big deal for a man to play soccer right? It's a big deal, because it's my BB. Hahhaha..I've known him for coming 10 long donkey years and he had NEVER once mentioned that he played soccer or any sports that requires running for that matter. Hence, it's amazing that he actually wanna play!

Well, it's somewhat like street soccer and it's literally the ah peks vs the young pro punks. Hahaha..From one look, you know exactly which player belongs to which team.

The ah peks basically got no image aka no proper attire/shoes/socks whereby the young punks wore standard soccer attire and some with knee guards! Oomg.. Hahaha!

Well, guess my BB seriously has zero sports genes in his body aka 一点运动细胞也没有 as he look damm tired and almost out of breath after........15-20mins?? That's how 'sporty' he is.

Guess he should stick to patronizing kbox and partyworld instead :p

Saviour

I can't imagine how I can fall asleep without these every night. My shoulder ache is getting from bad to worst. It got so bad at times (it's getting more frequent now) that I will wake up in the middle of the night feeling sore all over my back and its aching so badly that I can't sleep (it's aching even with the smelly plasters on). But well, at least these smelly plasters enables me to fall asleep in the first place. Better than nothing right? I had tried quite a few brands and these are really good and the comfort stretch is its new product and I love it more than the orginial one (the one with the white background)!

Firstly, the patch is bigger (yes, size matters.) and it's a breeze when you peel it off. It's not as sticky as the original one and I can feel more 'heat' when I use it. The originall one actually caused my skin to be a little rougher due to frequent use and I gotta use my body scrub religiously to get rid of those dead skin cells cause by the sticky tape!

The only downside is that it's a little more expensive compared to the old one. It costs $5.65 for a box of 5 where the original one costs around $5 for a box of 40!

Guess I need to search for a permanent solution for my shoulder ache as using these frequently will cause it to lose its effects as well. Haiz :(

Random thoughts

It's a bluey Monday Morning again and the best thing is BB is off today! But here I am working away..

Nothing much happened over the weekend. I just finished another HK drama serial in a day again ( Yes, I am a couch potato and I always finished watching drama serials damm fast).

I received a "God's message" from the Facebook app which I personally think that it's quite accurate at times. It always happens to answer the worries I presently had and always enables me to view things from a different point of view. The last message was asking me to listen more (I can't publish it to my FB wall as there is something wrong with my connection after I read it) and stop asking so much questions as God had heard my prayers and it has been answered or in the process of it. Suddenly I am like, okay. It's true to an extend that I had been too 'kan giong' in many things and maybe I shall let things take its natural course as there's nothing much I can do anyway.

Another message was asking to let go. Telling me that though I always want to be in control of the way things turn out, but end of the day, I cant. I should just let go, relax and leave the rest to God.

Well, I had always been a free-thinker and I respect all religions. Somehow or rather, I felt that these messages actually gives me an answer to certain things..or maybe they make me feel better inside and enables me to take a break from my kan giong self once in a while.

I seriously hope things will turn out to be the way I hope it will be.

God Bless.
