I guess this will be another boring blog.
I had a bad dream last night. I dreamt that I had accidentally killed 2 people and had actually thrown their corpses into the giant fridge to hid them... And, I had pretended that I did not see them when others asked where they were... :(
Oh dear, why this silly dream??? Sob sob.... I don't want to be a murderer :_(
Anyway, Bao Bei was so kind on Saturday and actually went shopping with me without nagging, haha. We had dinner at BigO cafe at Wheelock Place. Conclusion: BigO and NYDC probably share the same dining chairs, including baby-chairs; BigO has better variety and quality of food; when it comes to mudpies, nothing beats NYDC!!! And now, we have 2 free dessert vouchers from paying with UOB credit card :p
Did anyone say it is Great Singapore Sale now? How come I don't feel it at all!!!???!?!! I used to study Economics briefly in JC and also in NUS as cross faculty module, it always talk about inflation and it always quote USA. I was like, why am I studying inflation, inflation doesn't happen in Singapore.... NOW, when the money comes out from my own pocket, I realise what is inflation. Simi a simple dress costs more than S$100!!!! #^*%^@P% I used to be able to get a decent dress at less than S$70 lor. Where is the sale?! I want to spend money but the items are so unreasonably priced that I felt the pinch when I touched the price tag. Bao bei says the stock market will plunge on Monday because the oil price per barrel has leaped a huge USD10 on Friday. We even went hunting for COACH at Isetan Shaw and Takashimaya. My most expensive item from Las Vegas is a USD160+ COACH handbag, even if the exchange rate is 2:1, I had easily saved S$500 on that bag (a similar size at COACH Isetan is selling at S$899 before discount!!!) Yohoo! No wonder COACH is a must-go stop over in USA...
Mummy tells me to stop buying unnecessary things for the time being because we are moving to Jurong West soon... Gotta save money to renovate the house.... Bao Bei says if his paper gets approved, the conference will be at New Orleans, USA, in December... hehe.... but I told him that Katrina swept across New Orleans... Eh, come to think about it, the setting of Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicle is in New Orleans too, mmm.... I remember it right, right??
My godson ever asked me this question: Why Man invent money?
I thought that is quite a challenging question. If you look at it superficially, it is pretty easy to tell a kid the importance of matching the value of an item with a monetary amount. However, to completely convince the kid that money is not the root of all evil is on the other hand, quite philosophical.
As always, money can't buy everything but without money, life is really hard.
So before you head down to GSS, think thrice.

I am back
Due to popular, Ms PL is back, wahahaha!
It has been a while since I had the time to blog, really buried under loads of work. Sleep less now, go to bed later, wake up at the same time every morning, Saturdays are burnt out too.
Feel stretched but CL said being stretched is good, because in a way, it means pulling out the potential that is hidden in everyone. He is my boss, I have to believe in him.
Many things have happened since I disappeared from blogspot.
In summary, while I was gone:
- I went to Las Vegas in March with Mr Tang and hid in his luggage,
- GT quitted and a few new colleagues joined us,
- Finally, I have a team-mate to share load with me, she is also an ex-teacher, name is THL
- Application for the graduate programmes under my charge is closed and only one out of three of the programmes will begin this July,
- I am still single and seeing my Mr Tang,
- I took up 2 tuitions,
- The Las Vegas trip drained me of my savings again (gotta start from zero dollar again)
- CL is getting more rebellious with the management,
- Kenneth and Ying are finally tying the knot on 14 June (after almost 8 years of courtship??)
- Another gf from TKGS is getting married in October but heard she hadn't done much preparation for the wedding and renovation of her house (getting married can be so tiring...)
- Yet another gf from TKGS said "yes" to the question "will you marry me?" recently, diamond ring is imported from USA, fiance proposed to her with the rock diamond of 0.75 carat (??!). That rock is so shiny lor.... $7k+ (-o-)!
- My younger cousin just told me that she has bought a flat with her fiance.... and yes, she beat me to it, I am going to be her bridesmaid, yeah!
Wa! What in the world is happening??? The whole world is getting married, how come no one proposed to me????!!!!
Sian, going to be 30 soon.... feeling jaded, growing fat, and still look like a secondary school student in front of people. How confusing is this combination.
Gee, it felt like just yesterday when I celebrated my 21st birthday. At the wink of the eye, I would be crossing into my 3rd decade spent on Earth.
THIS IS SO SCARY!!!!!!!!!!!
What have I done and achieved?
- Still left on the shelf with the reserved sign, waiting for owner to come and claim back....
- No fantastic academic record --> ultra saddening
- On the second job: interesting one cos I get to irritate pple and pple get to irritate me back
- Pumping in a lot of time and effort but still earn peanuts (which is more important? Self-satisfaction or money)
- Failed driving test --> an utter disgrace
- No savings to go for next holiday and to even get married
Wahahahaha... like very pessimistic hor? Well, I am very tired now, but the hair is still wet...
Ever heard of retail therapy??
Hoho... in just 2 days, I bought 1 dress, 2 belts, 1 pair of shoes, 1 Body Shop Hydraing Puree and 1 Body Scrub, that is about $200.... hehe. Disappointed with the pair of Charles & Keith shoes cos it made my toes so painful, still deciding if I should give it another try soon.
Will upload the Las Vegas photos soon.. We went to Grand Canyon, it is majestic...
