Well, if you had forgotten, I had scrapped the idea of having resolutions since last year. Mainly due to the fact that I never fulfiled them and I tend to not care about them at all.

But I did mention I wanted to pick up a new skill. Well...

1. I can play a full song on my crummy ol' guitar
2. I CAN make cupcakes, they're edible alright!
3. Workwise, I did pick up a couple of new, useful skills *YAY*

So let's do a brief rekept for 2007. Honestly speaking, I've been very brief on my entries for this whole year. Sadly, my camera did not get that much abused from me this year.

I guess I did tried to do better in life and work. I remember having all this self-realisation, self-discover shitzz for a couple of months. I blame it on my quarter life crisis. For once I notice how much I've grown and I've also realised how precious time is.

Charly, the french fry, came down to Singapore again for his internship. I wished I had spent more time with him but I didn't. He was here for like 6mths and I met him like 2-3 times? pathetic eh? But that's more frequent than I meet my own folks, so...

Lindsay came and I met up with her for that one day... just one day! I will do better for your 2008 trip, I promise!

I met so many new people... like SO MANY! I made myself sit down and listen to them to really get to know them better before passing off judgement. Yeah, a whole different Fida coming your way. I'm still the same person really, just takes a much longer time to unleash the negativity now. Haha!

Am I happier now? I guess you can say so. But deep inside there's a tinge of sadness in me for the fact that I wish I could meet up with my present, long-time-no-see friends again to catch up on old times. Just having you in my phonebook is not enough... unless I've chosen to avoid you already? Muahaha!

Let's talk about vacations. I went to Phuket, Bangkok, Bintan and JB. That's like using my passport for 4 times! Like woah~ This has to be some kind of a record! Usually I travel like twice max.

Pricely possession of this year includes:

1. Nintendo DS-Lite (pimped out version)
2. Nokia E65

That's it? Wow! I guess I didn't spend as much as I used to! But then again, I made up for that in the travelling department.

I almost lost my PC but a good friend told me he'll fix it at no cost... just a Burger King meal! That was a close call but I'm glad he manage to salvage everything back. I have no clue what I'll do if I loose all the data inside! I should now consider investing in a Hard Disk Drive to backup all my data!

I did blogathon again this year and once again, I fell asleep for a bit. It was a lot more organised this year as I've had previous experiences. Haha. I didn't raise that much money but I'm glad I did my part to help the less fortunate. Should I look forward to Blogathon 2008? Meh... we'll see about that. It kinda gets a tad too old... we need fresh ideas people!

As I mentioned I won't be setting resolutions but on the other hand, I started new projects/hobbies.

1. I Must Do This Daily - Project 365 Blog (Where I post a picture once a day from my mobile phone)
   
2. Roll - Lomo/Holga blog (Yes I will be a proud owner of a Holga in a week's time. In the meantime I'll stick to my Action Sampler)

These are just the few I'm starting. I hope to keep myself more occupied in 2008 with all these projects, new and present, in hand. At the same time it gets my creative juice running... some of you may have noticed I've not designed my own template for a while.

So what's gonna happen in 2008? Settle down? Hmmm....

Pertaining to my previous post here, I've yet to introduce my new 'love' to you.

Presenting Nokia E65... (the snazzier looking one) and I shall name it Britney, cos Paris is so last year and the skankiest hoe in Hollywood now is Ms. Spears! Hahaha... just kidding. I've not found a good name for it yet.


In my humble opinion, this is like the fanciest phones I've ever owned. I am still learning how to use the phone. Lucky for me I've got a colleague or two using the same phone as moi, so I can refer to them like I would WikiPedia whenever I'm kinda stuck. One time, I couldn't save anyone's numbers cos' I dunno how... I know... I'm suck a N00B!

And what happened to my 'Paris Hilton' you may ask? Bumping queue to the retirement home.

Found a cool site called CouponChief.com and if you're an avid fan of online shopping, you better bookmark this site! You have your famous boutiques like Gap.com, Hot Topic, Macy*s and many more!

I know what you're thinking. Why shop online when I can buy stuff directly from the store. Well, bad news most of the good stuff ain't available in Singapore. Even if it does, I think its much more time consuming and you save your moolahs on travelling out. You don't just spend money on the stuff you want to buy but also on transportation and of course, you gotta eat when you're out with your friends.

The site is very user friendly and you can browse through different categories of your choice like Kitchen stuff, Electronics, Music & DVDs and many more! There's always something for everyone. So just get your credit card ready and visit the site for a spree

EFFED! I think I overslept!
I'm back now... no worries...

I've been meaning to get a new handphone since my contract with Starhub expired a month ago. I'm torn between these...


Basically I need a phone that enables me to access WIFI and of course, allowing me to browse the net easily. What do you think? Having a stylus will be better or does ordinary handphone buttons will do the job just fine?

I have an ulterior motive to head up to Phuket next week. I've been working in this new company for over a year and I've been using the same handbag every working day. Its pleading for a retirement right now. You know what they say, rust is cancer for handbags... yeah whatever!Thailand is famous for their rip off designer labels which includes for handbags as well. So now watch me rub my hands together in glee... *tee hee hee*.

Other than the classic design, I also have a long time crush on the multicolored holograms a.k.a LV Murakami. Hey if you notice on the page, my adorable handbag comes in that range too... WOO HOO~

If you're no LV fans, fret not cos' this online haven also features rip off product from Prada, Burberry and Dior. See... there's something for every wannabe-rich girls in the world! *cough* me *cough*

I was browsing the net for some ideas on what kind of lights I want for my room. I'm bewildered by the lighting range i see at Farreys.com. Visitors can shop by the lighting brand, application or by style of choice. The search tool quickly helps find the perfect lights that you have in mind, pretty cool eh? I have to highlight a few collection that captivated my attention.

Maxim lighting collection, no not the sleazy men's magazine, caters for the contemporary, natural, traditional and transitional. These are some of my favorites.


Will you gasp for life if I were to tell you those I picked cost no more than US$500? Why spend hundreds of thousands for a designer one when you can skimp and pay fraction of the cost here. Yes I know, shipping will be expensive but it still won't match the cost of lights in normal retail stores.

I should get paid for all these awesome information... hmmm.

I was browsing DiscoverSD website featuring everything and anything related to San Diego (hmm maybe Singapore should have a website like this). When it comes to the USA my main interest have to be shopping (for obvious reasons, DOH!) and my mouse pointer automatically trails its way to the shopping tab.

Out of the 30 stores listed, I virtually push the doors to shops like Urban Outfitters, Matti D, The Puma Store and many more. Unfortunately the site does not link the listings to the stores' own website (either that or maybe they don't own one maybe?).

Come to think of it, I don't think San Diego is that big on shopping. But... if I shift my mouse pointer to click on the nightlife tab, you will know instantly people in that area loves to party! Retailers should consider making their way there as you can't party without the razzle mannizle bling bling outfit!

If you're from SD, please correct me if I'm wrong in this area.

There's this one day Fahmy and I met on a weekend to spend time together at Vivocity and everywhere else around that area. We had too much fun that the idea of waiting for our dinner to arrive is just too much of precious time to waste just sitting there and wondering when will the plates be delivered to your table.


A few days later, on night, on my off day, Clifford invited me to some party at MOS. I think it had something to do with MTV and some watches. I should really start disciplining myself to update soon enuff before I forget the details.


Then over the weekend I met up wit my long-time-no-see auntie Naura *hehehe*. She has a new toy and she ain't afraid to show it off. Look at the size of that thang!!But than that monster toy of hers' battery went kapoot within minutes after we started playing with it. Its a very complicated toy to play with in my opinion but she seems to know what she's doing.

We also raid the flea market nearby and got some good buys. Bags mostly, good price for a second hand product. That auntie of mine nabbed like FIVE at one go while I only managed to land my heart for two. Must shop there again... and again... and again. Addicted I am now, thanks to that auntie!

Another good day after work, we headed towards the east for a scrumptious dinner in honor of Clifford and Carol's old aged day. Haha... I love celebrating other people's birthday. Its soooo much more fun than celebrating your own.


The day after I met up with the one and only idiot cousin of mine for he owes me 1 out of many dinner treats and to the changi airport we go for my well deserved Popeyes!


Last night I went for the loooong awaited swim with Hazel and boy did that scare the shit outta ma muscles! We did 20laps which I had not done for a very long time and it was my first time attempting it with Hazel. Twas fun... Twas good... Twas tummy rumbling. So off to McDonalds we go! Bitching session commenced at 2145h and went on till almost 0000h. Twas fun... Twas informative... Twas fierce!

As usual, click the photos to view the rest.

I am torn between these three perfumes.



Let me give you a brief descriptions on them.

Davidoff Coolwater has been my best friend for years. If I choose not to buy its perfume, I will make it a point to get its body lotion cos' it smells so darn awesome! I can choose to purchase it again since the one I have at home could probably last me another month.

I've never bought Curious Britney Spears before but I'm a sucker for packaging. Its just so preeeeeeety and giiiirrrly! I like! The scent is good too. I'm very impressed indeed. Unlike Glow by J.Lo, this one definitely made it to by top 5 list.

I bought True Star once last year because of my boyfriend. He thought that is exactly how Beyonce would smell like, no kidding. Amazingly I like how Beyonce smells. The scent is sweet, alluring and not overpowering. I miss this scent too!

Other options I have includes my all time favourite, Elle by Giorgio Armani and Escada range. I'm pretty much open to suggestions but the best option will be for one with better freebies! Haha... good luck me ;P

Since Christmas Eve's not a working day, everybody started to get in the spirit on Friday (23 Dec). I was greeted in the morning with presents on my desk! It really made my day. So suprising that some of the gifts came from someone I least expected. In a panic mode, I started shopping for presents for them during lunchtime. I took 2 hours! Hehe... no one cared if I'm back late cos' we're all in the holiday mood already. Hehe...


More photos here


Met my baby on Christmas day. What better thing can I ask for on Christmas than to be with my love ones! We went to Raffles Place hoping to get to have dinner at Carl's Jr but its close. Not too sure if its because of Christmas or they dun operate on a non working day (since its in a business district and all). Disappointed, we walked around looking for a place to eat and settled for Burger King.


More photos here
After dinner we went to our very first dating point somewhere in Boat Quay. Spent the whole night there. I had so much fun. Its been a long time since we met so that night meant a lot to me.

The office is sooooo darn quiet today. I think only 30% of us are here. Most of them went on vacation and clearing their off days. Lucky biatches! Looking forward to have a nice coffee/dinner with my other baby, Li Shan! Hehehe...

*Bimbo Mode ON* Can't type too much cos' I just painted my nails and it's still not fully dried yet. Scared ah! Wait must repaint how? *Bimbo Mode OFF*

Hehe, met Rizal for lunch and we shared a plate of Indian Fried noodle. Actually I ate most of it cos he's on a 'diet'. He will say that he's full/not hungry but true fact is that he wants to shed a few more kilos and declare himself a hunk. *PFFFT* You'll disappear if you don't eat like you do last time OK!

Head up to town and start my long awaited/deserved shopping spree. CK Tang is the place to go in December. Especially if you wanna buy perfume, here's a hint. Always show them the sad face like this :( hinting to them that their packages are not attractive enuff. Watch them whip out miniatures after miniatures!

MAC was too crowded today. No salesgirl were available to entertain me. I don't like being un-entertained in MAC. That's the place I would go to get, sort of, free beauty tips. MAC staff know their product and they know their customers very well! I LIKE! End up I have to self-entertain and its way too awkward! MAC! Hire more staff please! Its the holiday season! Come on...

Electronics hunters I would recommend you to head to Lucky Plaza and take your time to find that perfect digital camera. Ask the salesman lots of question to find out the genuinity of the product. I almost got ripped off with one who doesn't provide any waranty. I had a feeling its a stolen good! Haha... you will be surprise at how much of a bargain you can get there!

Yes, the cam whore is back! I'm fully armed with a Canon Ixus i5 now so be afraid... be very very afraid...

Today marks the very first time I went to Chomp Chomp @ Serangoon Gardens. I have no f**king idea that's its a hawker center! I think its the chinese's version of haven as how the Malays feel about Beach Road. Yeah... something like that. The food doesn't sucks but its something new for my half Malay, quarter indian and quarter javanese tongue... oh well.

Baby, I love you! I Love you! I love you!

Last time I updated was like 10 days ago but you have no idea how much I have had gone thru in that 10 days. Lemme tell all of you the story...

10th Dec : I departed for Sofitel Palm Resort, Senai, Johor Bahru, Malaysia

That place was awesome. We got the ground floor rooms and my room had a view of the swimming pool. I thought mine was the worsst til I learnt that the others had the view of the golf course. Well, not really, more like the bushes. Hahaha..

What did I do when I was there? Hmmm... good food, awesome swimming pool, bowling, threw some darts, table tennis, OH! THE JACCUZZI AND THE SAUNA!!! Gosh... wish I could stay there forever. Also we had some teambuilding activities over at the olympic/wading pool. Good times....

11th Dec : Bye bye good life...
Most of them followed the tour bus back to Singapore but a couple of us called for a cab and made him drove us all the way to the city. Wish I had more money to splurge but its all good. I think we only reached Singapore around 10-ish.

14th Dec : Marche wit Mui Hong

Its her 1 yr anniversary after being baptised. Congrats... and boy, she can really eat!! At the same time managed to check out the Christmas deco in Orchard Road.

16th Dec : Had dinner with my Darling.
We went to Newton Hawker Centre and he made me eat a plate of Sambal Stingray all by myself. Its brutal but felt so good later on. So what if our breaths smells a lil fishy!! Good times...

17th Dec : Johor Bahru trip

More like a nightmare... in a good way. Chop off my long locks, turned blonde, so sooooo tired...
