Thirdly, not so significant, congrats to Chaboh Len for winning $ in Roulette and "THANKS" for sending me the SMS at 6am in the morning. ;) (Alright the 3rd one was absolutely lame and written out of utter boredom, I admit). ;p

The Compulsive and "InsaNe" Shoppaholic~ Shopping in Melbourne Central, DFO Essendon, Spencer Street and on Malaysia/Singapore Trip Home.

Okay, so I finally found time to actually crop and edit the photos of the shopping I've done in December itself. (Not that I was busy with work or anything, fine I was just lazy! ;p).

Anyway Leonard (Pics Previous Post) asked me if I was into LV, Gucci and those branded stuff when we met up I bluntly told him and anyone else who'd ask; NO, I'm not into those stuff. Maybe when I become a Tai-Tai in future, but not at the moment.

I honestly can't bring myself to splurge a few thousand on just 1 SINGLE ITEM. If you happen to see me using anything like that or whatsoever, it's probably a gift or some Top Grade High Quality Fake. Hurhur, after all who can tell between genuine and fake unless you squint closely right? Yeah, call me cheapskate or what, I'm just practical I guess. I would rather spend a few thousand on heaps and heaps of stuff, just like the heaps of pretty stuff I got below. :) Enjoy!

New year new hopes new hairstyle :p, Trip back to Malaysia and Singapore, and Congrats to Stacey.

The start of a New Year, the start of a new blog design. Yes, it should have been earlier, but there were lotsa unpacking, cleaning up, re-arranging of furniture, and not forgetting the unwilling start of work last week, so it took some time. In fact, it took so long that I've kinda forgotten most of the things I wanted to say.

The trip back to Malaysia/Singapore this time was a brief and hurried one. I had to squeeze spending time with my family and meeting up with friends all in just 2 weeks! But it was still a memorable one because I managed to meet up with those that mattered to me and that was all that matters right? ;) Okay I won't deny that maybe I did become a bit anti-social, in that there were wee little times that I actually felt lazy going out. Well, can't exactly blame me since a sociable and happening (used-to) person like me being isolated in a place like Gippsland for so long, I am already thankful that I'm still sane up to now. Anyway, enough of whingeing, here's the photos from the trip: (Of course I can't put 100 over up here!)

I'm so glad that I've managed to meet up with my dear dear cousins this year and it was especially heart-warming that we could celebrate the count-down to christmas this year. After a much heavy buffet dinner at New York hotel with my parents, bro and sis-in-law, we headed over to my coussy's house. Pics clockwise from left: With my Kristie, Rachel and Janice, Everyone having a great time singing, cute Desmond an Felicia, and Felicia enjoying her hello kitty ride.

With 2 pals from the Korean trip, Swee Kee and Ailin, With Primary, Secondary School and Poly friend Fukang, with Secondary Sch besties: Sharon, Beiwen, Susan and Cindy and lastly with darling's "super ultra annoying non-stop fidgeting" BUT awesome friend Leonard, a.k.a Monkey boy! heehee.. :) Can you believe he actually squatted down next to me at a Traffic Light crossing and pretended to be a pimp! OMG!

With my pooh gang, Evon and Denise, with cousin Aiting, with ex-ex-BF's friend Sunny and of course not to forget a quick visit on the day I flew off to CTC, my ex company to find my God bro, pass him his prezzie and say hi to everyone. Wish I had more time for lunch and dinners with them though. My ex lady boss was also telling me about the Integrated Resort thingy happenin soon, it was sucha temptation to packs my bags in OZ and zoom back SG. But... anyway, from left is William, CK and Ian.

Best wishes as well to Stacey who got married on 13 January. Wished I could attend her wedding in Singapore. But lucky I could get some friends to bring over the prezzie anyway. So till then, enjoy photos... (P.S: Chaboh loo, don't kill me for not putting your pic here hor, at least it's in friendster! hehe.. ;p)

Lenore aka Liew Sze Min's Visit back to Melbourne ~ Reminiscing the Old Times and Treasuring the New Ones.

Okay, Len was here last week from 2-8 Dec and the whole week was absolutely happening and even though I felt like shit going to work with droopy eyes and an exhausted state of mind, it was all good and I'm missing you already chaboh! (Sshhhh, Gee and Longy actually teared.. *sob sob*) Anyway, get ready for the Visual Outburst as we captured almost every single crazy outing or stuff we did. I even took a day off again to send her off, darn I've been taking lots of days off, lucky I could bribe my GM with Sushi. (*wink* Nah, kidding lah.. hurhur..)

So that was pretty much all we did for the whole week, although I have failed to mention about how much shopping I have done which I'm too lazy to put all the stuff here yet, maybe I shall do so when I have time. Let's just say I have about 10 new tops, 3 new bottoms, new wallet, new bag, new perfume(OMG Vera Wang~ Princess) etc.. :P Oh and we also had a "sushi-making" day, crazy outburst bully Jasper times, and some agitated-teary scene which I shall not say what. And also Darling and I had our 2nd Anniversary... Till then, enjoy the pics! :)

Darling and I's expensive photoshoot, Unreliable Malaysia Pos and More things to look forward to apart from the Holidays.

Okay, if you have seen my MSN nick in the past couple of weeks, you would have noticed me whingeing about an expensive Photoshoot. Anyway darling and I had filled up some lucky draw forms during the Royal Melbourne Show. So when a lady called him up to say that he had won himself a FREE makeover photoshoot, we were of course exhilarated since I've been pestering him last year to have a couple photoshoot when we were back in Singapore. As he, being the sturbbon arse, wants to do everything back in Melbourne. So anyway, darling happily booked a date for our shoot and the evening before, we were told to bring along 3 sets of attire each. We had to match our outfits and the lady recommended some themes lke sexy, formal etc lah. Then I was telling darling, "Eee, take those sexy raunchy shots like those ang mohs take, I don't want man." So me and my big idea, we went to the Fancy Dress Shop in Morwell to rent a set of costumes. I love Medieval Style Victorian Dresses from the 1800s. Thus I got a pink gown and darling got a brownish gold fest to match with me. The lady at the shop wasn't too friendly and that cost us $70 bucks.

So before the shoot that day, the guy actually brought us upstairs to explain about the photographs pricing. I tell you, the look on darling's face that day was priceless as the guy started explaining, "Erm yeah so you can choose from a range of packages, would you like a small album, big album, wall size with frame etc etc", and the prizes all ranged over AUD$1000! I think when the guy saw the SHOCK look on our faces then he proceed to show us the cheapest package, $545, which consists of 3 8R Photos, 3 5R and 1 Wallet Size photos. We looked at each other and inside we were both thinking, "Darn, already kenna cheated drive 2 hours from Gippy, then rented the costumes, might as well go ahead with it lah." And so we did, and here are the photos, not all of them, we took 50 over, but only developed this few.

I guess it was partly our fault for NOT reading the offer letter properly, I had a look at it after the photoshoot. In not-so-prominent fonts at the bottom of the letter, it had stated, "Photographs are not included. For a gauge, each 5R photos cause $95". But then again $95 Dollars for one 5R! Bloody Hell, your paper coated with gold or something is it? So for personal reasons, I shan't state the name of the Photo Studio. But if you think you got lots of money to spare, then email me, and I'll give you the name and address. If not, Photoshoots are best done in Singapore or Malaysia(By the Chinese), where you pay hundreds or a couple of thousand as well, but at least exchange rate is cheaper and the GOWNS/COSTUMES ARE PROVIDED.

Then to some UNHAPPY STUFF:

MALAYSIA POS ABSOLUTELY SUCKS!

It was bad enough the last few times I send parcels to my parents, the postman just throws the parcel on the floor and thank God Bambam didn't bit it to pieces, but this time it is absolutely ATROCIOUS! The birthday prezzies I sent to my Mum and Len on 5 OCT, it didn't reach them at all! Australia Post said they definitely shipped it over to Malaysia already, but what happens there, they cannot check. Damn it, you thought what? Hari Raya big deal ah, can steal people's present! I hope the postman thieves kenna chase and bitten by dogs! Urgghhh! Then on ebay, business not too bad, though the money I earned was spent on other things. :P. But anyway that's not the point, recently there were lots of non-paying bidders and I'm not too happy about it. Don't know many it's holiday mood and people feel like clicking the "BUY IT NOW" button then later decide they don't want. K.N.S! ebay says will credit the Final Value Fee to compensate, but till now haven't heard of anything yet. (*_*)

Okay lah, enough of whingeing, looking forward to Len and hubby to come back next week and also chaboh loo on the 11th. Then after that need to shop for Xmas prezzies for friends and then look forward to my flight back SG in mid Dec. Tigger and Kitty, if you reading this, let's have Xmas Gift exchange again like last year? :)

P.S Anyone can comment on my blog now. This is to re-light the "FIRE" in my blog. So start posting your comments now! But of course, I'll moderate it. ;)
