My Pearly

Categories Fish Tank, Freshwater Aquarium, Goldfish, Love, Loves, ShrimpsLeave a Comment on My Pearly

Hi there! I am going to share more updates on my goldfish, Baluku. If you have been following my previous posts, I have wrote about him having some swim bladder problem. I have started the pea treatment the moment I found him floating on top of the tank. And I am glad, he’s recovering. Not fully, but slowly. I have also reduced the food intake for them. I did not place him in a quarantine tank, because the last time I did, the other pearly I had did not survived.

This was previous Sunday I found him. I was really horrified to find it in this kind of condition. I will not forgive myself if he dies.
Now he looks better, with all the redness gone. Just swimming upside down. I spoon feed him for a couple of days to make sure that he did have some peas. After that it was quite impossible for me to do so since now he’s at the bottom of the tank again. And I was making sure, he have chances to eat the peas too.

I am kinda sad today. Because I have death in my shrimp tank. I woke up and saw at least 10 shrimps died at the bottom of the shrimp tank. I am a bit lost, and not sure what went wrong? Was the crayfish being aggressive? I am not sure. I am pretty sure the crayfish ain’t eating too. I need to go and buy new food for them. Damn atas. I think they dont wanna eat the cheap (still hikari brand) food.

Staring at the food. And not eating it.

I hope I will be able to find the cause of the shrimps death. And I guess, before my shrimp colony can grow, I will have to buy new shrimps for my shrimp tank. 😭

Happy Family

Day 3 of lunar new year and last day of the long public holiday. Geez. Had a rather chillax day, waking up at 1pm (cause we slept at 6plus in the morning after a night of battle with mahjong 😀 ). Watched a couple of episodes of “Sex Education” on Netflix and headed out for super late lunch. After lunch, went back home to prepare for lunch, and guess what? I cooked bak kwa fried rice (includes leftover luncheon meat and caixin). I must say my friends and Laogong are very spontaneous, they finished the fried rice (although some of them have already had dinner before coming). 真的感动到… Played a few rounds of Ban Luck and then we had lohei!

bak kwa fried rice with luncheon meat + caixin

Then we continued our Ban Luck, and great! At least I won 30 cents at the end of the game. I guess, I am really not suitable for gambling. 😀

Needle Felting

And recently, I was quite into needle felting. Have been watching quite a bit of youtube video on this. And was so intrigued to try. So I went to Taobao and bought some needle felting kit. And I must say, it’s really cheap and good. So I bought this Line Friend – Lion Brown and try. Not too sure if I did a great job, and I think it looked a bit funny with the long body. So what do you think about my 1st needle felting work?

Staycation with Love

Had staycation at Pan Pacific over the last weekend and I’m loving it so much! Although we checked in really late on Friday, but both of us still enjoyed ourselves. All thanks to Valerie and her help to book this room. 🙂 because we had a 3 days 2 nights staycation!

From top left : Strawberry White Chocolate, Cookies and Cream cupcakes
Bottom left: Earl Grey cupcake and Salted Caramel cupcake

I bought some cupcakes for the staycation, and it is also my gesture to Valerie for her help to book the room. Without her help, I dont think we will have the room at affordable price. These cupcakes are from Plain Vanilla, somewhere not so near my workplace (but still walking distance). I am not a cupcake lover, but I just feel I need to buy something for the staycation! 😀

Valerie’s catch of the day. 🙂

And the next day, we woke up really early, just watch yoga on tv and trying so hard to do it is just so tough! Then we went for lunch. Headed to Suntec and saw Keisuke Ramen dining, and so we give it a try. Cola Green Tea! One of my favorite drink! And it’s only available at Keisuke Ramen.

image

But the ramen there is so disappointing. 😦

image

To make up for that, we went to Carlton Hotel’s Tuxedo for some waffles. The waffles are not too bad, and we totally enjoyed ourselves. After that we went for a movie at The Cathay. We took our time to stroll from Cityhall to Dhoby Ghaut. 😀

After movie, we went to meet my girlfriends and their partner for dinner. And surprise surprise! Rebecca made it for the meet up!

image

It happened that Jolene and family was having staycation at the exact location! So some photo with meimei.

And these are my girlfriends whom I knew since secondary school (excluding their partners). I miss Jesslin too since she moved on to work in Shanghai but I just wanna tell everyone that I love you girls so so much! Sometimes, I wondered what will I be without you people around! And I am totally in love again. I love you people! And lets grow old together!

H.A.P.P.I.N.E.S.S

Categories Frustrations, Loves, Marriage, WeddingsLeave a Comment on H.A.P.P.I.N.E.S.S

It’s not easy to stay happy everyday, every moment of our lives.

There are ups and downs, happy and sad moments. Moments for celebration and moments to mourn.

Sometimes, we tend to dwell more into our sadness than happiness. I admitted that sometimes I have been dwelling so much on the negative side that I almost forgot that I have happiness by my side.

Sometimes, I can’t tell if I am optimistic person or a pessimistic person. Then this came into my thought:

No one can take your happiness away from you unless you allow them to.

How true it is. By dwelling into those sadness, I am taking away my own happiness. I have been allowing that person to take my happiness away from me.

Dwelling in unhappiness, not only makes you even more unhappy and pathetic. The worse thing could happen is it steals your chance to be happy. When I kept having those negative thoughts, I could feel the negative thought inside me are devouring me slowly. I feel like I am dying in my negative thoughts. That’s very bad. And I do sound pathetic.

Even though I was the one who made THE decision (and I don’t regret), it still keeps me pondering – WHY. Why things like that happened, why did we have to end up like this. Is it something wrong with me? Why this, why that. Such questions always linger around, never really leave me. Then I came to realize that not everything has an explanation or can be explained. But I am very scare, what if all these things will happen again in the next relationship? I know the best solution to this is: eliminate the negative thoughts!

To be honest, I feel sucky to even think about the woman moving in taking over my place and everything in the room (right) after I moved out. I have totally moved on away from this saga since it happened almost/more than half a year ago. I totally did. I probably still can’t believe that he did whatever he did to me. To think about it, I don’t think I have a place there (in that household/his heart). Ha! And I will totally remember what he said to me when I insisted on my decision, maybe not for the rest of my live because I have short term memory and I do not wanna bring such memories into my new life.

And I am so glad that I took that step, because if I didn’t, I will not have my happiness now. Some men treats women like dirt, but some men treats their women like treasure. I am sure mine will treat me like treasure. I am loving my life even better now; learning piano and what’s not. Doing things that I truly enjoy, going out with my favourite person in the world. It is very important to find a partner who can do things together, supports and encourage each other. It took me quite few years to be determined of the decision I made a few years ago. And because of this, I am happy because I think I have found that someone. And now, he matters most to me. 🙂

After finish writing this post, I feel the positive thoughts are rushing back to me. Writing about all these things does relieves me from the negative thoughts and gives me spiritual healing and I guess this is the only place I can rant out my negative thoughts. And when I read this back a few years later, I will probably laugh at this post. Hahaha!

Beautiful Thursday!

Categories Family, Food, LovesLeave a Comment on Beautiful Thursday!

A big welcome to my new addition, my Labbit named San San. In case you are wondering, San San is actually hokkien which means skinny. 😛

Took a day off yesterday! So I decided to drop by my sister’s house to see baby Estelle! Isn’t she adorable? Anyways, we decided to head to town for lunch and my sister can do some shopping for the baby. What a relaxing Thursday!

My sister say little Estelle likes sleep in this position. Just like Alyssa when she was a baby. Or babies like to sleep in this manner? Hmmm..

On our way to town, I was told to sit in the middle since there are two baby seats in the car. And lucky me, I’m skinny enough. Do you know how much space was left when you have two baby seats at the back? Haha!

She’s soundly asleep.

High tea at TWG~ I am not a tea person but the tea there is nice! Unlike the one I had in Taipei. The one I had in Taipei is chinese tea, the one I had in TWG is more English tea. Which one is better? I think it’s all about preference! And I think both is fine. The different thing about chinese and English tea is, Chinese you brew the tea yourself and you enjoy the process of doing it. I had my fun brewing my own tea when we went up to Mao Kong (猫空) to enjoy the scenery and the breeze. Totally different experience all together. 😀

And now my sister wants to play Patapon. She say the music is irritating but then once you start playing, the music just imprint into your mind and makes you think about it. Haha!

Some warm chocolate cake with ice cream (tea flavour) on top. Not too bad, but you might consider sharing because the chocolate is very thick!

Jie Fu had this muffin.

There is no place without Chou Chou. 😀

See this little baby still sleeping thru out the lunch till high tea session! 🙂

Me & my sister!

And our day just end here. Fast isn’t it? Time passed so fast and then it’s time for us to go home because they have to fetch Alyssa from the child care center. It’s really cool to spend time like this; just by doing nothing! No places to rush, no assignments to do (ok, I do have and it’s due on next Monday!!) and relax! But it’s also time to come back to reality – WORK and STUDY. Really can’t wait for December to come; that is if our Hong Kong trip is confirmed (nothing is confirmed until you buy the plane ticket!!).

And then I went to meet bf for dinner. Steamboat at Roxy Square basement one. Not too bad, but it’s not buffet. With air con and the space, I think it’s still not too bad. The chicken soup is good, the tom yum is not spicy, that’s why the bf insisted on eating this. Tom yum is my favourite. 😀

Baby Estelle

Categories Family, LovesLeave a Comment on Baby Estelle

On the 25th April, my sister delivered a healthy baby named Estelle.

I was surfing through my Facebook and then I saw updates from my brother-in-law, Desmond, that sister is in KK hospital and is waiting for the baby to pop out! I was feeling excited so I called my mum and told her but she already knew it long before I knew it. -.-”’ I asked her why didn’t she told me! =X Anyways, she told me she will be taking half day to see baby and so I did the same too! Lucky, the visiting to PSB Academy is already over, else I don’t know what am I supposed to do. So I meet up with my parents, had out lunch at Tiong Baruh Market, and then head to KK Hospital to visit sister. The baby pop out at 10:09am!

When we reached the hospital, my sister looks so weak. Because she wasn’t feeling too well after the natural birth process; she vomited whatever she took. Poor thing. But then by the end of the end, she managed to finish up the cup of milo and a few cups of water.

Papa, mama and I went to the nursery to take a glimpse of the baby! She look so sweet, and chubby. It seems like she has more hair than Alyssa (when Alyssa was still a baby!). I couldn’t stay any longer because I need to rush off for my Maroon 5 concert at the Indoor Stadium!

Chou Chou managed to take a picture with her. =] Isn’t the baby adorable? So is Chou Chou!

Then on Tuesday, I went to visit Desmond because he was admited into the hospital for not able to shit. Reason behind, he went for an operation for his butt days before. Not on the outside but the inside. Thus, the muscles are weak and not able to shit. Constipation. So the doctor insert some tube into his asshole, and he shit all the way. And he’s still can’t discharge because he can’t shit on his way still. Poor thing.

So, as a good sister, I accompanied my sister to Bukit Batok Polyclinic on Wednesday for Estelle’s baby check up. I reached her place as early as 07:30a.m. So I took a day’s leave to help her out at home. Took her FIL to my house area to pick up the confinement lady, and then help her take stuffs. Went to pick up Alyssa at her school with uncle, then went to buy pampers. Of course, I managed to take 2 hours of nap (because my sister wants to nap too). Hehe. What a busy day!

Blood test for the baby.

And then she cried out loudly.

See her brows? My sister say the baby looks angry.

Baby Estelle is hungry! Lol.

Sleeping at her own comfort zone.

With Chou chou watching her to sleep.

Alyssa and me before she goes to school. Isn’t she adorable too? And she’s turning 3 this year! =]

Dearest‘s birthday is just around the corner and I need to come up with a list of things to do with him.

First,

Took this image from internet. Yes, Scarlet Hotel for his birthday. So that we can both enjoy ourselves and we shall head to Chinatown for some photo taking session since it will be the Chinese New Year period and there will be decorations around, after that and relaxing in the hotel. =]

Second,

We will head home for dinner with my family because, Dearest shared the same birthday as my mum. =] What a coincidence!

Third,

Last,

I do not know what to get for his birthday. How? Any kind souls who can give me some suggestions?

Hope he will enjoy his birthday this year. =]

With lots of love.

All I want for Christmas is YOU~ EOS 60D

Attended Michelle’s little Lucus’s 1st birthday yesterday and guess what? I went to the wrong place. I went to CSC @ Bukit Batok instead of the NS Home Team which is near Bukit Batok Driving Center. So, I took a bus there instead of taking a cab because a lot of people was waiting and, I saw a lot of cabs was being hired. Lucky, I was just 30 mins late. Saw the girls and they were having fun talking and bowling, but I left early because I wasn’t feeling good so I head back home and rest. At night, I went drinking with my gfs last night because I was feeling unhappy about some things. But, now, I am feeling better already. Thanks for your company!

Michelle, I’m sorry if I didn’t talk much yesterday and I left early. :S

ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS IS YOU~~~

Yes, I got my Canon EOS 60D camera~ Really thank uncle Jeremy for taking of his time today to accompany me to buy the camera. :X

This year is a good year! So happy! I got my license, then I got my DREAM CAMERA! This is totally LOVE!

Wanted to get EOS 550D but Dearest thinks that I should get a 60D instead. And this time, I am totally satisfied, even though it burnt a big hole in my pocket. And I’m looking forward to use it and take beautiful pictures! So do look out for it! Wahahahahah!!

I think I am not a pro, but acting like one. Hopefully, I can master photography skills. 😀

Photo of a long long ago

Categories Assignment, LovesLeave a Comment on Photo of a long long ago

It was so funny when I passed my long time ago photo to my manager for him to help me scan so I can send it to the HR to upload to the staff directory. My manager was like “Wah lao”. Hahaha. You don’t know that picture was so ‘cui’ with acne and all ( I don’t think it’s really a lot lah), but my manager was kind enough to help me “DELETE” my acnes and mole. LOL.


I think this picture was taken before I joined PSB Academy last year. How time passed. LOL.

Everyone in the office told me that this is the first time Lawrence my manager did something like this. Sitting there and “ERASE” my acne. It’s so funny! But thanks to him, my photo doesn’t look that ‘cui’ anymore. LOL.

Some times, guys are really strange. I told bf to search for some wedding songs, and he was still sitting there surfing net, reading STOMP until I went online to search for some songs, then he went online at the same time to look for some wedding songs. And tuning on the youtube so loudly (when he complains I was watching my drama so loudly). And then he looked for super old school song that I felt that don’t suits me loh. Hais. Pastor’s wife is right, never expect so much from man.

Ok, I really need to CONCENTRATE on doing my assisgnments. So distracted. Hahah.
