ramendamen craze

Went to this super awesome ramen place at mandarin gallery - ippudo!

Omg! The queue is horrible seriously.. I seldom queue so long for food (if my memory din fail mi) but to b honest, it's kind of worth e wait because e broth is sooooooo good... Though I cannot say e same for e flavoured tamago comparing it to marutama n possibly japan..

Ippudo has like e best broth so far next to the authentic one in Japan.. It's so good until my craving for ramen continues... So much so that I went for ramen again at marutama HAHAHA

I seriously dun understand how ajisen can survive until today with such competitors... I never step my food into ajisen after my second try.. N my second time there was because I have no choice but to accommodate..

Okie so much for my blog post... I'm juz trying to show my presence n to rave abt how nice ippudo has been... Plus its kinda difficult trying to blog using an ipad.. Fingers dun feel like fingers anymore.. Sorry about this crappy post..

festive season celebrations

yes, kind of first post of 2012.. not counting those sale posts...

one year has once again gone by in a flash... i realize the older you get, e faster time passes by...

once again, im here to do a long post because i seem to get into a habit of not blogging for the longest time..

for a while, i find myself wif nth interesting to blog.. crappy life n lost for words..

for no reason today, i suddenly felt inspired to upload some photos that i have taken over the festive season in 2011.. to show off of cos the two cutest babies from my two darling frens..

i <3 these two babies to my utmost heart...
somehow by seeing them, all the troubles for the day flew away.. playing wif them keeps mi happy.. when i c e happiness in their face, it cheers me up tremendously..

had dinner at this place called jpot in vivo city.. recommended by jer.. so there it is for her bday treat... haaa.. e funny part is all of us tot it was a steamboat buffet.. i was preparing myself in the morning not to eat so much for breakfast and lunch... halfway through the day, in e chat, jer den told us that it was ala carte order.. pengsan.. i nearly fainted..
but okie la, otherwise i wldnt noe how many luncheon meat i hav to eat to recoup if it was a steamboat buffet.. basically e whole grp felt that bringing mi to steamboat is a waste of money becos i ate e cheapest food there..
(and what's worse.. i've been craving for luncheon meat ever since tat steamboat.. when BF suggested to have a twosome steamboat at hm, i was so happy that i cld buy an entire can of luncheon meat n have it all by myself.. what happened was when the luncheon meat was bought, we cld not find any can opener at hm.... -_- can u imagine the thousand storey fall of disappointment...)

then i found my love for moscato... i had my first taste of moscato back at a fren's hse.. after hearing SO MANY raves about how nice moscato is.. when i tried for the first time, seriously i was darn disappointed.. how can it even be nice?! so for the longest time, i was wondering izzit because moscato was drank from a normal cup which spoil the taste to the max..
after dinner, we took like forever to reach wine company becos of the many distractions along the way.. this is one of the distractions which took up so much of our time.. hahahaha

all the beautiful lightings along the broadway (is that what its called?)

it actually feels great.. to be taking photos once again.. i haven been taking photos for the longest time.. i dunno y either.. it juz nv happened as frequently as last time anymore..

anyway, back to my moscato... e gers decided to order one moscato since it sld b e mildest among all..

i tried and I LOVE IT!! one of e sweetest wine i have ever tasted and i din resist the sweetness.. (although i felt reali sinful aft drinking...)

actually until now i cldnt figure it out if e first time is reali due to e cup issue... hmmmmm...

its has been a wonderful ending to my 2011, spent wif my dearest gers n their fam... i always like e chill out sessions with them.. and very thankful for my bunch of gers be it JC or sec sch for always being there for me through all the down down periods...

<3 <3 <3 you gers to the max!

state of confusion

it has been a while...

i found myself with no more  time now to sit down properly to read blogs..

even wif rare moments where i am able to get back hm early, sometimes i cant even bear to spend time in front of my laptop for fear of time dwindling away.. like what i am doing now.. 3 hours juz flew by like tat and i feel as if i have not accomplished anything..

i am beginning to wonder if the jump has been worth it..

i rem how ecstatic i had felt when i cld get into this com.. it was ALMOST like a dream come true.. to be in touch with an industry that i reali reali love.. to learn about products that i love..

up till today, i do enjoy e knowledge that i have gained along e way.. not about the work actually but abt the products im dealing with.. knowing more on how supply chain sector has worked for this type of industry.. to certain extent, this experience will benefit me in many ways.. which is why im still convincing myself everyday to stay on.. to struggle.. no matter how imbalanced my life has become..

its v fast paced.. i cannot deny it... but i always pride myself as someone who can survive in any environment.. even until now i believe in surviving no matter how bad the environment is.. although when i hit the down period, i am reali down... a lot of emotion fluctuation in this job is involved.. the risk of not jeopardising a new launch.. or not buying enough for some products.. or even creating the wrong cover days which nearly led my boss into major despair.. my mistakes overwhelmed mi... i took the blame very badly such that i cldnt get out of it for nearly the entire month...

gradually im starting to tink if it is worth it... to be occupied constantly by one million and one thousand things to submit every week... even when it comes to planning for a holiday, there are so many blocked days that i cant allow myself to go on leave.. needing my frens to accomodate to the dates etc etc etc..
yaa, indeed, where is the work life balance...

i grew more and more bad tempered... such tat ppl had to bear the brunt of my temper especially the close ones.. even frens that i have never reali flared in front of them, i flared and i cried...

frens told mi to measure myself.. frankly i dunno how to measure anymore.. there are times i reali love tis job and i noe there will always b ppl to tell mi you can never find 100% satisfaction in any job.. and its even more difficult to find a job that you love.. however i love the office environment i am in.. the surroundings i am in right now until the official move which i am dreading... but i love the perks that come along wif tis job.. i like it tat i noe what ppl are talking abt when they talk abt makeup... i like dressing nicely to work (yes, v shallow but believe mi, i have never dress nicely to work since my first job until now.. somehow it gives mi a moment of pride..)

so you will wondering right now what exactly is bothering mi.. 工作也有本难念的经...

if you have seen how long since i have blogged, this is how busy i have been until my brain cells are all dead for a more creative post...

And even longer since i indulged myself wif self-absorbed photo taking T_T

dearest delfi, you are badly missed by the family...

and very much by me as well......

since young, i have never envisioned myself to become a dog-lover as i grew up... i was very scared of cats and dogs in the past (i still hate cats A LOT... i will never ever love any cat in my life...)... i used to squeal and avoid at all costs whenever a cat or dog crossed in my path...

when i first met delfi, i was lucky enough to have overcome my fear of dogs a little through the help from shi's dogs ironically.. then the love for her grew surprisingly enough... she wasnt those dogs who will cuddle to you when you are feeling sad or even "sai nai" to you to get your attention.. she's a fierce ger who had e tendency to bite everyone she was not familiar wif... perhaps its e love that is so apparent from the whole family that got me into it as well..

delfi was a bubbly dog when i first saw her who used to twirl round and round around her daddy when he came home.. u can see her excitement when she saw her daddy back home.. that was the love they had for each other and the affinity that bonds them together.. she cldnt slp when her daddy was not home.. she used to whine terribly when she knew that her daddy was not home..

i missed the times when i cld see her leaping and putting her paws on the chair, waiting for us to give her food.. as we fed her each time, she came back for more and more... i missed the times when she used to wander for no reason into the room and responded when dear BF called out to her.. she didnt react much to my calls... i missed the times where she gradually lost her sight, she wld bang her way though the room door if we ever leave a slight opening.. somehow she's very determined when she smelt food somewhere.. even when we hid in the room, she still found her way eventually... then we wld have to push her away many times but she persevered on...

until to a pt where she totally lost her sight and slight sense of smell, she still did silly things that make us laugh and made our days for no particular reason...

she collapsed once when she was fighting a tooth infection and none of us knew.. we were scared shitless and i felt reali heartbroken at tat time when i saw her so robust one wk before and so frail the following wk... i cried........... because i cldnt bear to c her wif a swollen face and wobbly legs........ it was reali reali lucky enough she recovered...

there was one time where i remembered myself sitting in the kitchen feeling very down, i dunno why but i was very certain that delfi circled around me because she knew i was sad.. somehow i was very comforted by her presence...

i never expect myself to feel so deeply for a dog before... i dun even keep any pets right from the start when i was young... back then, i wld never be able to comprehend why would ppl feel so sad over their pets... now i knew, even wif e short span of time spent wif her... its devastating... as devastating enough as losing a family member, because she's part of the family... the love that the family had for her, she is a very fortunate dog already... the continuous care that auntie D devoted to her was way beyond words to describe... i had to admit i reali cant stand the smell of shit and to wash off the shit off her, it was beyond my imagination.. but there were times i still did together wif the help from dear BF and auntie D.. and the even more times that auntie D bear with it and wash her until she was clean...

when she suddenly collapsed this time, i din wan to believe that she wld reali bear to leave us so soon on that fateful day.. i was reali hoping everyday that she cld recover soon and be able to walk like how she used to be... when dear BF told me he didnt tink she cld make it past that day.. i panicked... its e same panic i felt when i received news on my grandfather.. i never made it to see her one last time........................................................

i count my blessings that i hav been given the chance to know you, del del... otherwise i would have missed out the many occasions where you brought joy to the family with your antics... and never get to witness the love the family has shared for you... the older you were, the more adorable you became.. even with the many hassles that came along with your aging hood, there were grumbles but there were never complaints from your family members.. the memories spent wif you remained deeply etched in my heart...........

del del, be happy whenever you will be going.. dun forget your papa whom you love so much, your mummy who has taken very care of you and your siblings who love you unconditionally... they will never forget you... but dun be fierce to other dogs anymore when you are at where you should be okie...
i do miss you too

you are the best dog that ever came in our lives...
