Sometimes when it comes to presents, I still prefer that I do not receive one. Do you know why? You can say that I'm very picky, particular or a difficult person but I can only say 1 thing, all the presents I received are really not what I like or prefer. I can only say that this is a very sad thing. It can either say this person can't be bothered to know what I like or that person simply can't be bothered as long as they have a gift for you.

So far, Christie's gifts are the most thoughtful. She knows what I like and prefer. ^^ Aww I miss Christie's gifts.

Everytime I heard people say, "It's the thought that counts". I really think this is bullshit. And you may be wondering why am I so harsh in saying that? If you can't even get a decent present for someone, where will you have "the thoughts that counts"

I think I regretted spending so much $$ on buying too good presents. I even spent the whole day looking the whole of JP2 just to look for the presents. I think so far a Pierre Cardin Wallet and a Towel is something useful. The rest like the auntie bag, Phuket souvenir and a bar of chocolate is the worst I have ever received.

And I can tell you 1 thing for sure, only AUNTIES give Phuket souvenir as presents because they can't be bothered. According to my friend, it was very cheap in Thailand, probably less than $1 SINGAPORE DOLLARS. To think that I spend almost $10 for her present. Tsk.

My friend was also no better. She was told that she had to spend $30 each on 3 presents, please note also by 2 aunties. She bought the knitted cat pouch (the real stuff), crabtree & evelyn set and another one a set of beauty products. She definitely regretted buying that for them because this is what she get in return: A stupid small gold pouch which the auntie said is branded but only if you look inside, two TY bears and 1 photo frame. =.= I HATE PHOTO FRAMES!

Anyway to summarize my story, let's start with "the moral of the story is" do not buy too good stuff especially for aunties unless you can be sure that she is a "MODERN AUNTIE" if not don't be bothered to think about their present, just grab anything for them from the supermarket or "mini maini mini mo".

Another advice for to-be wedded women or mothers, PLEASE DO NOT BE SO STINGY WHEN IT COMES TO GIFTS. Choosing the RIGHT GIFT IS WHAT THE THOUGHTS THAT COUNTS.

Ok. I'm done with my complains...I still have to put a smile in front of everyone tomorrow ":)"

MARRY CURISUMASU!

Today was a cold and peaceful day. I should take this day off to let my skin rest because the harsh air-con is making my skin dry.

So how do I celebrate this festive season? Listen to Japanese Christmas songs!

I'm sure most of us have been watching "The Little Nyoya" faithfully. It has been quite exciting till now but I know it's ending soon. I was been asked by 2 people the same question, "Are all Nyoyas that bad and scheming?" Haha. I'm sure this is just a show and should not reflect the character of Peranakans.

I think tomorrow I shall make a trip alone to Isetan Private Sale and take a look at any nice discounts on items worth the purchase.

The first episode of Katekyoshi Hitman Reborn was a hilarious one. I recommend those who have not laughed for ages to catch this anime!

I thought that I had so much to write but suddenly I'm just out of words on what to write....Must be my bad memory...

So many to-dos in my queueing list~ So many wants~

I think the star-wars animation done by LucasFilm Singapore was quite well-done and professional. Too bad I'm not a fan of star-wars heh.

It seems every year of December when Christmas is around, the atmosphere is so different, i just feel so serene. Seeing the christmas tree in the office, the cold weather, buying Christmas gifts, so peaceful...

Ok. Let me post some photos on some of my favourite tops but now I'm trying to "control" . Only "See See" not buying.

Something worth mentioning. I saw the news that a Taiwanese doctor could actually lose 12kg of weight in 40 DAYS! Incredible! That is even faster than slimming centres! The main point to lose weight is "Less Oil, Less Salt and Less Sugar". I think I'm going to learn from him by eating Japanese food everyday...but I'll be broke if I do that..Hmm but come to think of it, if you can save more for eating Japanese food than going to slimming centre, why not right?

Santas Claus is coming to town....

This month of december is what I consider the most busiest. Not busy with work, but busy with meet-ups and shopping. I went with my nurse friend who was looking for her ROM shoe and it was hell of a slimming session. We went from Far East to Tangs to Takashima-ya to Wisma Atria to Vivo City. I had never walked that long man! Worse is that the shoe I'm wearing is not that comfortable as I thought it would be. I think it's good for me because I wanted to slim down haha. However, in the end she still did not get her shoe T.T

Today, I became the housekeeper (only for my room hehe). Spent the whole morning and afternoon cleaning up the necessary.
I never thought that washing these "toys" was so tiring. If you are not sure how to wash these toys, I have a manual for you haha.
