The one where i completed a crystal puzzle

I got this little 3D crystal puzzle as a Christmas gift last year.. had some time to spare this morning so decided to play with it while eating my strawberry cake for breakfast..

It wasn't as easy as i thought. I ended up spending 30 minutes trying to fix the damn thing.. nearly wanted to give up halfway trying to fix the 14 pieces together. A very very interesting toy i must say!!

The end product is a 3D red crystal apple key chain / handphone accessory. It was too big for my handphone so now it's hanging on the zipper of my shoe bag..

When K came back, i showed him my achievement.. was half tempted to tear it apart and let K have a go at fixing it, but decided not to waste time.. better start with my spring cleaning!

So far, over the past 2 days, i have tidied and cleaned up my kitchen, shoe cabinet and bedroom wardrobe. Will be starting soon on my store room - the biggest nightmare of every spring cleaner!




The one where Kirby appeared on Channel Newsasia

I was doing spring cleaning and watching TV yesterday afternoon when i saw Kirby on Channel Newsasia. He was being interviewed together with Chris Garver on the tattoo show in Singapore.

I thought it was pretty interesting listening to the 2 news presenters asking questions on tattoos, like whether it was painful, whether it can be removed etc etc.. Apparently, the longest Chris has ever done a tattoo on someone else was 12 hours. Amazing!! Even if the person being tattooed can tahan, i wonder how Chris can tahan?

Kirby was perspiring like crazy after he did my / and K's tattoos, which were only for 3-4 hours each!

Still feel very proud of Kirby.. at least he is doing something for his passion, spreading the tattoo art around the world.. plus the fact that he did my tattoo!! heheheh...

Thinking of adding some color to my current one.. hmmm..






The one where i got 2 prezzies...

I got 2 nice presents from my colleagues last week.. One was a nice bookmark of a Japanese woman in Kimono. My colleague had just came back from his honeymoon in Japan and had bought these nice bookmarks for all of us.. Sometimes i feel that it's so troublesome to have to buy things back for the office every time i go overseas.. Although it's nice if i am the recipient of the presents! Usually, for me, i just do last minute shopping at the airport and use up my left over currency. To me, it's like a major obligation. It's like since everyone in the office knows I go overseas, i have to buy something back. So now, i don't. I can't be bothered. I will just buy some nice gifts for people whom i am close to in the office, my close friends, and that's it. Gifts that i put in some thought into, and not some last minute shopping at the airport. I don't care what people at the office says lah.. most of the time, the tidbits i buy back from overseas just rot at the pantry nobody eat.

There are times also when i just don't tell anyone in the office i am going overseas.. They are all so busy they probably won't notice that i am not in the office for a few days!

Anyway, the other present arrived on Thursday. I arrived in the office, no mood to work as usual, when i saw this huge box on my table with a huge FEDEX sticker pasted on it. It was a most pleasant surprise. Like a child, i eagerly opened the box and in it was a nice little glass ball Christmas decoration from my colleague in US. She did mentioned she bought something for me for Christmas but kept forgetting to mail it out. Supposed to hang it on my Christmas tree, but i had already tore down all my decorations the night before so will keep it for next year!

:) it's always nice to receive presents.. i wonder when i will get the BIG one..

The one where we went for our medical & shopping for rims..

I left office earlier at 3pm yesterday to go to SGH for a medical appointment. Actually, it was an overdue appointment to find out the results of my previous blood tests. As usual, despite the fact that i had an appointment at 320pm, i still had to wait an hour before i got to see the doctor. What's the whole damn point of making an appointment i wonder?! This just pisses me off so much cause it's not the first time already. K said someone wrote in to the newspaper complaining about the same thing. Maybe i should write in as a follow up. As K mentioned, if enough people write in to complain, maybe the hospitals will take action.

Anyway, it was kinda wasted trip cause the results were all normal. Nothing wrong with me (or K) and our fertility. I know it sounds weird, but i was actually a bit disappointed. But then no news is good news i guess. So now, K wants to move on to the next step. For some reason, i still want to procrastinate and keep trying the natural way, but he doesn't. The doctor proposed 3 options for us, some cheap (like increasing my number of eggs), some expensive (like IVF). I'm starting to feel the pressure now cause even K wants to give up trying the natural way. He'll rather pay and have a go at something that increases our chances of becoming parents. Me on the other hand, want to go al naturale. To me, if i get pregnant by "artificial" means, i will also think of my baby as "abnormal" when it is born and forever i guess.. Which i don't want. Eventually, we left the hospital with an appointment for 6 months later. We had told the doctor that we will continue to try for 6 months before deciding on one of her proposed options.

After we left the hospital, K decided to go shopping for rims. We're currently using Gary's rims and wheels so we needed to get our own set soon.. So we went to Ubi Industrial Park for some rims-shopping. I never seen so many different types of rims before.. We ended up at this shop called Yong Seng or something, where we saw this black 16 inch, 5-spookes rim.. After much consideration, we decided not to get it as K thought the design doesn't go well with our car..

This afternoon, K called and told me he's going to buy this other set of rims he saw today.. Plus some lowering springs that's supposed to lower the back of the car so it's more stable and less prone to accidents.. Oh well.. unless the driver himself changes.. no use modifying the car to make it stable or safe!! = )





The one on the Singapore Tattoo Show 2009

The world is full of coincidences. On Monday, i received a message on Facebook from my wedding photographer. He is now working in my company as an intern. We found each other on the company's mailing list and chatted online. What a small world.

This morning, i heard on Class 95 that there is a
Singapore Tattoo Show 2009 going on this weekend at the Singapore Expo. The 2 deejays had invited Chris Garver, the celebrity tatto artist from the show "Miami Ink" over to the radio station for an interview. Apparently, Chris will be at the show as well.

It was during this brief introduction of the tattoo show that i realized Kirby Lian, my tattoo artist, was the organizer for the show! I feel so proud.. = )

So naturally, being the auntie that i am, i contacted my good friend (who's Kirby's good friend), and asked if she had free tickets to the show.. She did, but unfortunately, she rejected Kirby, and now it's too late to get the tickets from Kirby cause the show starts tomorrow and he is already super busy now..
Anyway, i don't think i would pay $18 for the entrance fee just to go inside and see folks getting themselves inked.. hee hee.. cheapskate i know..

The one where I want a new wallet!!

I need a new wallet! The clasp on the BB one i have now came off so now i cannot close my wallet. With all the bulk inside (not money, mostly rubbish), now my wallet keeps opening by itself..

Went online shopping just now, and spotted a few wallets that i like.








All these are really expensive though, so not sure if i should get them. I went to Tangs to shop around during lunch just now, and saw this Guy Laroche white wallet and key pouch set going for SDG 119. Maybe i will just get that one.. Sigh, need to save up for rainy days to buy umbrellas given the severe recession in Singapore now.. = (

The one where my niece is a baby genius

5:01 PM by Adeline Woo 1 comments

I had a strange dream yesterday night.. I dreamt of my 1.5 year old niece, and in my dream, she's a baby genius!

I told my sister about my dream, and she said that i may be pregnant. Apparently, the old wives believe that if a married woman dreams of a baby or children, she will get pregnant soon!
