A bay window seat of my own!

Ever since I was a little girl, which frankly is n-number of years ago, I had always wanted a window seat. Imagine a place to call my own. A place where you can read with just the right amount of natural light. A place where no one can intrude. A little slice of my own paradise, to do whatever I wanna do. There are many designs to choose from. I like this purplish design. I think this colour scheme will go nicely along with the gray and beige of the current theme. But I don't think that the drawers are practical as you cant store many things in the small compartments. This is so sweet and simple. White and red plus some floral. The lace also goes nicely along with the bay window. My curtains are somewhat very simple. Just cream and gray roman blinds. I cant remember how the lace looks like though (the curtains were ready over a year ago!) The organza at the window gives it a very soft and dreamy kinda feeling. This is also a very simple one but it looks a bit cluttered as there are...

After 2 years

Finally after 2 years, I have decided to uplift my AUD FD from SCB and also cancel my plat CC from SCB. Am moving on to a better deal. Feel a bit sad coz I have been a loyal customer of SCB ever since I started work and that was way back in 2005. Hahaha, I know someone is gonna laugh at me and say the bank is earning my money, why should I be sad right? I'm going after the plat CC from Baiduri. Deposit a minimum of B$5k, you can get a plat CC as well as 5 years fee waiver. The FD can only be uplifted after 5 years with a total of 12% interest (2.4% p.a) I think this is not bad a deal although the interest rate is not as high as the AUD FD but think of the CC charges that you are saving for the whole 5 years are quite high already. I asked the Baiduri staff on the annual fees for a plat CC, its $280 p.a. Multiply by 5 years, you are saving at least $1400 already. Let's hope that this is the right choice.

My face only

I know almost all girls love makeup. Including me. Its not so much the makeup that they love but more like how they feel about themselves after seeing themselves with makeup. With the right makeup, one can look and feel like a million dollars. At least that is how I feel. This is me without makeup. Just my sunblock and a light layer of loose powder as I dun like the stickiness of the sunblock. Then this is the latest made up look for Joe & Judith's wedding. I look very different eh? Eyes are bigger and my nose bridge are more defined. Eye brows are the same though. This is me at another friend's wedding sometime in October. Do you like the above makeup? It's done by Maureen Phua from De'most Saloon in Kiulap. Its just above KFC. You can make an appointment by calling 2230778 . I have been going to her since my first annual dinner in DST.....which was about 4 years ago. Gosh time flies! More pictures of me without makeup below. Me with makeup. Not professionally done...

A rather eye opening Sunday

I went out on an outing with a few of not my friends. Why I call them not my friends? Coz they are not my friends lo. They are friends with someone I am friends with. It was such a nice Sunday. We were supposed to have lunch n watch a movie together. There are 4 girls and 4 guys including me and Bi. Basically, with the exception of another girl who made polite conversations with me, the other 2 totally ignored me. (I mean TOTALLY , caps, larger font and bold for emphasis) So yeah, was feeling quite left out at that stage. But they were really mean. They left to go shopping without asking me whether I wanna go or not. BF had the cheek to ask me how come I din follow them shopping since I love shopping. (Hey come on, I am not a puppy who has to follow them at their heels) TSK TSK....no courtesy. Soooo....anyway, the movie supposedly starts at 3:00pm and we are to collect the tickets half an hour before the movie starts. Surprisingly, those girls did not want to go collect the tickets alt...

Encounters of the 3rd kind

Have you had any encounters of the 3rd kind before It was only me and another colleague (lets call her F) left in the office on Monday. It was very quiet and suddenly I heard foot steps. Was quite surprised at that moment in time. (din think too much at that time) just assumed that there was another colleague besides the 2 of us. But when I went over to F and told her about the foot steps, she shushed me. Ooooo then I know something is not right as I also double checked and true enough its only the 2 of us. We quickly packed and left! When we were downstairs, F told me that when I told her about the foot steps and I went back to my cubicle to pack, she sat down and tried to listen as well (coz she din hear it the first time) and she heard it this time. She thought that it was me walking around and stood up to check. But I was standing still at my cubicle packing!!!!! Ohhhhhh, by this time all my hair follicles were standing!!!! Goosebumps! So I guess this means no more working late! Am...
