shop shop

Finally had the time to go Christmas shopping yesterday (presents bought are mainly for the Chia's family). I went to town and saw all the sparkling decorations. Very pretty! Hunted for presents along with Joey and Sheldon and i thought my leg was going to break.

Bought a purple vintage cap for Joey,
chocolate from Sins for Gordon,
body shop cosmetic for his mum,
sexy lingerie for aunt candy,
flying helicopter with remote control for aunt candy's son, Dar dar.

I still haven't decide what to buy for Sheldon yet. So frustrating!

Last week I went to the new 'MOS' which is now being separated into 2 different clubs mainly Zirca and Rebel.
I heard that MOS is closed down because they were being sued by other MOS from other country for not doing the franchise in Singapore properly.
Zirca feels so happening! Except I don't really like their music.

The interiors.

There are sky dancers, cages and even a plastic pool filled with minimal water hanging high up on the ceiling. You can feel drops of water splashing down when the dancers dives in to the pool.

The cliques

I was eating the Sotong ball which was very hot when Raphael just took out my camera and SNAP! That look on my face... so cartoon!

Opened 2 bottle of Vodka Absolute and there Allan was. Drunk in his own world.

Pictures from 5th of dec'08 at double O and 10th of dec'08 at Zirca:

Would you donate if a person approach you outside a club, telling you to save the endangered species?
You would perhaps donate a few bucks to $20.

Would you donate if the person tells you that you have to donate $150?
You would probably think that he's a scam.

Would you donate if the person tells you that with this $150, you get club memberships with 10% off all drinks?
You would probably think its not a bad deal; save animals and get benefits.

The person told us, you can pay a deposit first and the after that pay the full amount.
So I questioned him if i sign up now, will I be able to enter ARENA free and get 10% off my drinks? He say no but he will help me negotiate with the club manager.

So after everything is done including payment of deposit, that fucker told us, "anyway, the age entry for Arena is 22 for girls and 26 for guys."
I was so damn freaking fed up because its obviously Allan standing beside me does not look like 26 years old. And its obvious that he deliberately kept it from us until payment was made.
I explained to him that we (Sheldon, Allan and me) don't meet the age limit.
He gave all sorts of reasons and excuses and it really spoiled my day. Another guy actually had the cheek to step in and say "aiya, its for saving the animals what, do a good deed la."
WHAT THE FUCK!!! Say until like I'm such a miser. Hey mind you! Now its not $20, its $150! Plus they never tell us about the age limit right? And also, we don't have much guy friends who are above 26 and most of my girlfriends are the same age as me or younger. Spoiled our clubbing mood! With that I asked for a refund of the deposit Sheldon has paid.

My mickey wawa

I was so bored at home so I went to Viwawa and played online Mahjong aka Wahjong in Viwawa. There is this avatar you can create in Viwawa and previously, my avatar is the boring kind of wawa, the kind everyone else has; same shirt, same hairstyle, same colour and same shoe. So I was browsing through my account and saw the Disney wawa! I can now let my wawa wear cute mickey mouse apparels. Great!

And so i bought all the apparel with 5SGD.

My Wawa is so cute right!?
Mickey cap, mickey tank top, mickey skirt, holding mickey shaped balloons and a mickey mouse plushie with mickey mouse background.
I thought this wawa of mine looks totally me. I have that cap in real life but in light brown. I love my wawa!

Thank God a million times for answering my prayer! I'm so relieved as grandpa is looking better now and after lots of discussion, we have decided not to let him have that risky injection. I myself is also very against him having that injection too. Its way too risky and I heard that if it did not work, he will die immediately and God knows how painful it will be inside his body. We have also decided that if his condition improves, we well fetch him home and hire someone to take care of him. I think with family around talking to him, his condition should be better in no time. Well, guess we just have to let nature take its course. Gotta buy a wheel chair soon though.

I got super mini Betta fishes swimming around in my tank!
Mermaid is my purple female fish, Mermen is my blue-purple-reddish crown tail male fish and Sunlove is my fire-red male fish. Sunlove and mermaid mated and now babies are swimming everywhere. Hopefully they will survive.

Grandpa

Yesterday when I was working, I received a call from my mum. She said that grandpa might not be able to make it through this few days and that my granny had informed all my aunts and uncles. Mum told me to go home and see grandpa when I'm free.

After hanging up, I didn't know how to react. I just stood there for awhile till my eyes became teary. Soon after that, I rushed home. On my way back I prayed to God so hard than I've ever before. I prayed that God will not take him away now, not until I've seen him. I pray that God will ease his sufferings. I pray for granny and dad because I don't know how hard it will be for them.

When I reached home, grandpa had already been send to the hospital by the ambulance. All the other aunts and uncle were there waiting for a medical result. Upon arrival, I found out that grandpa had suffered from a stroke. His heart arteries are blocked and his blood is too thick. Therefore, blood cannot flow through his head properly.They planned to give him a injection that will dilute his blood, hence, blood may flow through smoothly. However, there are complications. Previously, grandpa had gone through a very fuck up operation. And now because he once had a operation, the doctors are scared to inject him with the solution afraid that if his blood becomes diluted, it may cause internal bleeding. So its a 50-50 chance and its very risky.

Why did i say that the previous operation is fuck up? That is because he totally do not have to go through that operation but because of the newly grad doctor's mistake, grandpa has to suffer so much.
Initially, grandpa has inflammation in his intestine and could be cured by taking medicines orally. However, when that stupid doctor is doing a check on his intestine, his negligence caused the stomach lining to break. A operation was done to fix the problem and my uncle wanted to sue the doctor. But my super angelic dad says that we should forgive the doctor (as always) and bla bla bla...
So ever since, my grandpa is very weak plus his eyes are pretty damaged in the first place. He became muddled and is always lying on bed. After sometime he's a bit senile.

I questioned why does he need to go through so much, he's so old already. I pray that God will take him away in his own time and ease the sufferings. I can't stop thinking about the days when grandpa was strong, the days he fetched me home from primary school and carried my heavy bag.
I can't stop thinking how painful it must be for him with tubes all over him. The more I think, the more heartaches I get.

I'll be visiting him later and I hope he's feeling better.

Changes

Finally! There's time for me to update. Recently, there are some changes taking place, my life, my future career, etc... I've seen what becoming a grown up really means.

After my infamous 21st birthday, I fired my ex boss commenting her on being sarcastic. Well, I just couldn't hold it back any longer. She thinks that she's like the empress dowager or something. Anyway that was so long ago already and I'm really glad that I did as Dad has plans for me.

So now, I'm helping my dad out and very soon before Dec ends, I'm going to manage my own shop. During this period of time, I realise that I just can't work for anyone with that attitude of mine because deep down, I know that I don't really need that job.And so, enough of playing, I'm gonna work for the sake of my small little family business, for my dad and for myself. Anyway, I can argue with dad all I want and he still can't fire me. Awesome!

Initially, my plan was to continue my degree with the intake this coming Dec. But after much consideration, I decided to let go of the idea. My shop?! Its now or never right? I know in the future there will still be another chance but why waste thy youth? On the other hand, I'm so worried that I will fail and let dad down. HOW???
Guess I just have to pray hard for my business to prosper and leave everything in God's hand. After all, I believe God showed me this way and he will lead me through it in his guidance.

I'd cut my hair short! I know, that was so yesterday.

Before stupid hair cut.


After stupid hair cut.

Nerdy me.
Everyone was like yelling "YIRU WHAT HAPPEN TO YOU?" in shock.

I fired my piano teacher too! Not that she's not good but I'm too busy for these now. Besides, she's always asking for advance fees when I've already gave her advance. Don't really like greedy people.


With the Chia's. Apparently, the mother birthday falls on the same day as mine.


Some guy's 21st birthday at SMU.
There so many 21st birthday to attend that I have to attend a party whom the birthday boy i do not know. I think his name is harry(Allan's friend).

For the first time, I sat on a Trishaw! I was heading down to boatquay and complaining how sore my feet are with the blisters forming thanks to my new heels. Then a trishaw stop by beside us. So Gordon suggested that we take the trishaw from clarkquay to boatquay. Haha!


The uncle is camera shy.


Xiu Hui's 21st birthday at Costa sand chalet.
Damn I hate to go to chalets.


Gordon, me and Chris at Blue Blaze Pub.


Yazid, me and von at Lunar.

Click on the link below to finally grab your stupid pics. I'm so bombarded with the same question over and over again. I don't have the time to go categorize them so you'll have to slowly browse through.

MY 21st BIRTHDAY

I celebrated my birthday a few times with different group of people here and there. But my official celebration is on the 26th of Oct.

Lets talk about the happy stuff first.

My makeup artist, Chris, is late as usual. We rushed through the hairdo and makeup, and flew to boat quay(thanks to Kopi).

I let my men set up the buffet while the other friends help me up with the decorations. Soon after everything was done, friends started rolling in, with presents of course!

Kopi was complaining hungry all the while, hence the look on his face.



People mountain, people sea.

After everybody helped themselves to the food, I opened premium bottles for each table and everyone started to drink crazily. Esp the Navy people.

This is how we judge the level of sobriety in guys.

OMG, can't believe it.

I bought Light sticks too and everyone has one or more.


Me singing my all time favourite: wish me happy birthday by Landy.

Oh man, I'm so busy the whole night! All i remember was me running up and down the stairs fetching my friends.


Robbin! My damn baby boy grew up to be just so fine.


Me with my ex collegues.


Dar Dar sings like Jay Zhou!

At approximately 11pm, we took out the cake and sang my birthday song in 3 different language. English, Chinese and the Cantonese version.

My self customised cake.


Me making my noble birthday wish which haven't changed for 3 years straight.
WORLD PEACE!!!


And I huffed and puffed and blew out the candles.

Took lots of pictures with my different group of friends.

The Navy Group

I felt very ironical. This is because before cutting the cake, I announced over the microphone to everyone warning them not to play with the cake if not I will literally kill anyone who touches my face.

And Then...

(-_-")


Even my long lost Jacelyn came. I'm so touched!
There are people whom I thought will come never came and people whom I thought will never come came. Well at the very least, they informed me of their absence with sincere apologies.

Lets do another sobriety check...

So cute and stupid right?

Wasted: CHECKED!

I didn't do any better either. I was already in dream land by 1pm and all thanks to Sheldon for trying to lift me up, I puked due to the sickly motion. SORRY JOEY!
I went home shortly after that.

Although some shitty things happened during the celebration, I'm very glad that the feedback I received from most of my friends are a enjoyable one.

I didn't manage to take all the pictures, so I'm sorry if i missed out any or do not know who the presents are from. But do let me know ya?

People have been asking questions with regards of me being displeased during the celebration.

This is the series of unpleasent event happened during that day.

Weeks before, I booked a pub and planned everything for the celebration. I thought everything will go perfectly fine as I've planned. But the most horrible thing that happened is I trusted the wrong person.

A day before my birthday, I reminded the guy called Lincoln whom I put everything in charge of, who is also one of the boss to be at the pub by 7.30pm SHARP. He repeatedly assured me that he will make sure everything goes smoothly. And guess what time he reach? 8pm. My Buffet guy is already downstairs waiting for the pub to be open. As a result, there is delay in the set up and some guest has arrived.

When I question him on his late arrival, he say he gotta go fetch his waitress or something which is for me, an invalid excuse.

Everything he promised to do before my celebration did not happen. He say he will service the aircon, clear the stocks at the back, bring up more chairs. None of this happened except for the chairs. Talking bout the chairs, I'm damn freaking mother fucking pissed!!!

Halfway through the party, there was an black out because of some short ciruit problem. Well, I know I really can't blame him for this inccident but it did add on to my anguish.

Lastly, he without my consent shifted my friends here and there so that his customer can come in to sit. In our agreement, the whole pub is mine for the night and piority will be given to me. Not his customers!

He repeatedly aplogise to me saying that its very hard to reject his regular customers. I got so pissed off that I shouted at the boss. KNN!!! My birthday still piss me off. Of course angry la!

They offer to give me free bottles and etc but I got even more angry saying that if they can't keep their promise, they should let me know earlier. I can always book another pub easily. Money who don't have? But face and pride I have only 1.

Where got people do business like that want? I hate people who don't deliver wad they promise and will never ever in my whole life go back there again.

Thats about it. Anyway, as long as my friends did enjoy themselves, i'm contented.

YEAH!!! I'm 21 and I've been having a lot of mix feelings. I'm a adult, but i don't want to grow up. (o_O)
