Baby Step

Went to see an ID's design on Saturday. Was expecting a 3D computerised layout, but she only provided us with a hand-drawn layout, which was full of errors and not very professional, without colors.
She had failed to take note of what we wanted and did not give us a detailed quote. She just referred us to the initial package offer they had, but it was not to what we wanted.
She was the first and only ID who had drafted a layout of the house, but was another disappointment...
We decided not to go for CompleteHome D'zign....

Went to the furniture shop just next to it, think it was 'Bedding Saloon'. After trying out various Serta mattresses, bf decided to go for Sisilia range, costing $1899....It was love at first try for him. For me, I'm fine with anything...Ha!

There was actually a promotion for the Serta mattress with its 'bedframe' ($2199), but I didnt like the frame. The mattress just sit on it and the thickness looks so intimidating...Then, I spotted a bedframe with microsuede material, which could be detached for washing...Bf agreed it was nice. The original price was $1399, but since we had purchased a mattress from them, the boss agreed to let us have it for $899. It still sounded expensive, but bf said it was worth it, as we would still have to pay that price for a frame elsewhere.

We only paid a deposit for the two items, and bf made sure that the salesperson actually wrote a sentence at the bottom of the invoice, citing that full refund is possible if we are able to find the mattress at a cheaper price elsewhere...Ha!

Danger in the Park

I was jogging in a park in Jurong on Monday, when I heard a hissing sound, and spotted a black snake disappearing into a drainage hole...it was such a shock for me! I had never expected a snake in a neighbourhood park!
I suspected the snake was responsible for the absence of the rats in that park too...Prior to the incident, I had always come across many rats scurrying in the park, and always had to stay vigilant so that I woulnt step on them with my clumsy feet...
The snake terrified me so much that I could feel goosebumps on my skin, when I jogged, and instead of jogging, I ended up running away for my life...
The next day, I reported the incident to Jurong Town Council, which was responsible for that area. They despatched their pest control contractor to attempt to locate that black menace. But after two operations, they still failed to locate it. Now, would they think I'm pulling their legs?
Was I too stressed to the extent that I saw a mirage? Or was the contractor doing its work? Or did the Town Council get the right park?
Think I gotta find some other place to jog, else instead of destressing myself, I'll be stressing myself even more with the constant thought of the snake in my mind...
And one more thing...Ah Teng, watch where you run the next time...Pls wear your contacts!

UNDO

is the best feature in MS Office...if only we can undo things in real life...

... then I would not sign up for ACCA...
... I would not go for Biz Studies in poly...
... and undo the many other wrong choices in life...

Duno it's I'm reaping what I had sowed, or repaying for my debts in previous life, or God is trying to test my faith...I'm really sick of this life....
I shouldn't be complaining, coz there are lotsa poor people who lead a worse life than me...But even poor people have happier lives...rich people might not be happy, but they could make others happy with their money...Me? I'm poor, financially, mentally and physically....

At this point of life, I still duno what my merits are, though I could cite a long list of demerits...I duno what I want in life, and what true family ties mean...what was God thinking when he created Adam & Eve? And what was he thinking when he created me?

Doubt I could pull through the exams this time...maybe my resignation was a mistake...my frens would prob encourage me with their words, but do they really know my feelings???

浪漫滿屋 (Full House)

It’s a brand new week again…though it’s gona be a short one for m, coz Wednesday is my last day at work…
Last week has been a pretty short week, as I had been pretty excited at the thought of ‘the day’ approaching soon…The week prior to that was filled with fear & loneliness… Been feasting a lot lately…maybe it’s time to kick in some diet? Hmm….(thinking of my last row of Royce chocz awaiting in the fridge)…diet can wait, but not food rite?

Missed my weekly 3-hours session of CSI yesterday… Couldn’t believe my retired dad could actually watch the tube the whole day…Multiply that by 7 days per week, 4 weeks per month, and so on…

Couldn’t concentrate on my homework as well, due to the blaring TV and noisy construction site work carried out just in front of my block…Thank god my sister wasn’t at home, and I had the room to myself…

Ended up reading this book titled ‘The Devil Wears Prada’…It’s quite nice, just for the fact that the leading lady has a devilish boss who orders her to do everything, from sending & picking up her soiled laundry, to getting Harry Potter books for her two bratty daughters, and buying basil for her cook… Gosh! That boss is definitely a devil! She makes my current section head a lamb…Baa…Baa…

With the last episode of Princess LuLu over (which I didn’t catch, due to my dad watching the TV again, and kinda lost interest coz neither the female & male leads are that great-looking), I got addicted to another Korean flick – Full House (浪漫滿屋). The drama features the popular actress Song Hye Kyo & singer Rain….The storyline is like this...

“After coming back from a trip to China that her friends paid for, Han Ji Eun finds out that they did so only to sell her house while she was away. She returns and finds that the new owner of the house is none other than famous actor Lee Young Jae, whom she happened to meet on her trip. Circumstances bring Young Jae and Ji Eun into a marriage by contract, making them appear as a couple to the public. Under the terms of the contract, they will be married for 6 months while Ji Eun does all the housework. After 6 months, she will get the house back. Ji Eun finds herself falling for Young Jae, but he loves his childhood friend, Hae Won. Young Jae’s friend, Min Hyuk, also shows an interest in Ji Eun. Many interesting and amusing things happen to this couple throughout their married life that bring them closer together, but will they really become a couple?”

Escapism

Haven't been feeling happy since I tendered a week ago...

Now, I just feel useless, stupid, ugly & old...
*sighs*
How I wish these feelings will pass quickly and never to come back again...

Happy Birthday, Singapore!!!

National Day falls on this Wednesday, 9th August...Please don't ask me how old she is...think 46? More or less there...ain't a 100% devoted national, am I?
It's lucky that I still remember the date she gained independence...well, it is a public holiday & I get the day off, don't I? *chuckles*

Stepsis brought her month-old baby boy, Issac to my house last Saturday... The little chap got a high forehead with pointed ears and head like an elf...Oh! I like elves coz they appear in fairy tales...I never get sick of reading the fairy tale about the enchanted woods & the rocking chair that could fly...(digressing again) Issac spent most of the time sleeping...thank god else he probably would get on my nerves with all the crying...Here's a pix of the small guy...

Went to the Tropical homes fair at Expo last Saturday...dun think I'll go to another home fair again. Couldn't stand the pesky salespeople who kept telling me this and that...and there's this lady from St Louis furniture who kept insisting that I signed up for a furniture immediately (I only wanted to get her namecard for later reference...and succeeded so after asking the 3rd time). My friend told me that decorating a new flat is a fun process, but I think after seeing one ID & home fair, I had enough...it's so tiring that I had to spend the whole weekend to sleep off the weariness...no more home ideas till collection of keys!

Expecting nothing this week, except the dreadful Sun with a whole day of class...*sighs*
