It's my birthday today! I am officially past the twenties and I have set foot into the thirties..
It doesn't feel any different.
Mudder bought a blackforest cake for me today. I took it to grandma's and had it cut together with the 2 kids. We all sang the "happy birthday" song and enjoyed the cake together. My sis was asking me to let her cut the cake 'cos she's the "expert at cutting birthday cakes because we always celebrate birthdays at the office and I'm the official cake-cutter". I let her do the honours...despite the fact the I am the official cake-cutter during all birthday celebrations in school too (whether they are for my students, band or for my colleagues) Hehe..the official cake-cutting sistas!
My 30th-year resolutions are as follows :
1) To get my driving license (YEAH!!!)
2) To lose some weight (DOUBLE YEAH!!!)
I am DETERMINED. Absolutely determined to make sure that I achieve my goals for the year. Plans are on the way, mind you.
Happy birthday to me!!

Sweet Dreams, Little Chips
Chips passed away peacefully yesterday morning...she was found in her "exercise wheel" and she looked as if she was sleeping soundly. I hope she did not go through the pain that Mimi did when Mimi passed on.
I cried when he called to tell me the news. It's always sad to lose a pet...something so tiny and so cute, not being around anymore to play with us. I still remember the times when we first brought her home, she would really poo alot whenever we took her out to play. She even pee'd on his bed by accident! It was really amusing. She had the gentlest temperament. She never bit, never squirmed so much and she was always so easy to handle. Such a mild little creature.
We buried Chips at the nature reserve, right next to Mimi. Mimi's "gravestone" was still there. I was glad that she was not dug up by any dogs or cats. I wrote a small note for Chips and I also threw in some goodies for her before we finally covered her with soil.
Dear Chips...have fun at the rainbow bridge! Mimi is there waiting for you and I'm sure you will make lots of friends there. There will always be food and delicious yoghurt drops and chocolate drops for you. It's a happy place and I believe you'll like it there. We won't ever forget you!

Creative Muvo V200
(((I tried like crazy to include a picture of my new toy here, but it refused to work. So I gave up.)))
I bought this at the Creative Fest. Paid $199 for it. Main intention was to record the music that my band plays, but as it turns out, the recording function is way below expectations. *SIGH*
Nevertheless, I got myself a pretty nifty mp3 player! Now I have to go look for mp3 music..

Dinner Time
I just came home from a dinner that my Principal sent me to. A political dinner at the community centre where I had the opportunity to dine with an MP (at separate tables, thank goodness) and many other "important people".
It was an eye-opening experience. The enthusiasm in the grassroot leaders and the other people of the community was very good (in fact) I was surprised that they had many people lined up for the entire night just to sing for us. I think the singers were so enthusiastic and delighted for the chance to be on stage to belt out their favourite songs. Nevermind how awful and off-key some of them sounded, I was glad that they were a good distraction and excellent excuse for us not to have to make small talk with each other. Besides, we were seated directly in front of the blasting speakers and that made casual chatting near impossible. We ended up using hand gestures to invite each other to eat and etc.
As for the food...well, nothing much to say. It was definitely very filling and I think it would not be right to compare the food with that served at the restuarants or hotel banquets. Nevertheless, its tasty and that's cos...
1) the fish and the chicken were DEEP fried and laced with thick sauce to mask the lack in freshness,
2) the prawns were heavily coated with thick chilli sauce, (also to mask the lack in freshness),
3) the noodles were slightly overly salty (and therefore tasty)
4) the shark's fin soup was swimming under a thick layer of chilli oil (it was named "Hot and Sour Shark'sFin Soup, not surprisingly)
5) the Mushrooms in the "Sitrfried Mushrooms and brocolli" were the largest mushrooms I've ever seen in such a dish
Ok I think I've said quite enough about the meal.
Ooh, I had the opportunity to meet the new Principal of BVSS. I must say, she sure looks young and quite fun! I could joke with her, but I had my reservations, lest she discussed my behaviour tonight with my P!

Curled Lashes
What a joy to wake up in the morning to be greeted by a cheerful bouncing little girl who adores you!! She skipped into the room and plomped herself right next to me and started called "yi-yi! yi-yi! Wake up! I want to see the hamster!" And then the younger one came running after her and slammed himself onto my bed for a hug.
Oh what fun...I missed them quite abit and it's always nice to see the kids.
Told my sista that I will need her to get me some SKII products when she goes to HongKong in April. She actually WON a free trip to Hongkong during one of those CNY dinners by one of the companies that she works with. Can you beat that? A free trip! And when one of the associates from Hongkong learnt that she was the editor of the magazine, he came up to her during the dinner and promised to host her for 2 days in Macau for free! She's flying Cathay Pacific....*sigh*
Man...MOE never provides such benefits...haha
OH!! I got my eyelashes done. Did it at Amore...not that I did not try Keat Hong Shopping Centre..they were fully booked (can you beat that?) for the weekend! I just HAD to get mine done so I went to Amore. Paid $45 for 45min of the perming session. I love the effect! But there was some glue stuck on my lashes after the treatment and I had to stay in the toilet removing it myself. The girl told me that it would fall off naturally when I washed my face after I get home, but I wasn't going home yet! I had a hot date with my man so how could I possible go out with glue on my lashes? They didn't look like glue actually...they look like dried mucus...as if I just woke up. Anyways, I was advised to wear mascara in order to keep the lashes looking at their best and to help the perm last longer. No problem man! I love mascara...
Oh my god...am I turning into a bimbo!? Nah...I've got the brains...hehe

Pamper pamper
What to do with an old tube of mud mask that you won't use on your face anymore? You use it on your legs! Haha...my calves are coated with Nu-skin's bluey green Epoch mud mask right now. Want to "close the pores" on my legs....tighten them after the hair removal process. What a pamper...
I'm going to give my hair a mask too....after the legs are done, I'll hit the showers...pamper pamper...
Thinking of going for eye lash perming in town later....Amore has it. I might just try it. I got another location from MJ and it's at CCK. Checked out the address and the location on streetdirectory.com and it doesn't quite look like a very up-market place. Am a little apprehensive about going there. It's a tried and tested place to go to, but the location kind of puts me off....it's in Keat Hong Shopping Centre...sounds like the kind of beauty parlour that the typical HDB auntie visits huh? I'm really not sure! MJ gets her done there at less than $40..a good deal, I must admit...Argh! I don't know where to go...
I want to go to town later to do some girly shopping...hehe...maybe I'll plan for a good dinner for us tonight and then a good movie?
