First thing in the morning my boss said cheerfully: HAPPY CHUP GOR MEI! I am nineteen turning twenty and this is first time I heard this. No on told me about chop gor mei before. Innocently, i asked my colleagues. One said it is the chinese Valentine's days. Where all the old chinese ladies will stroll on the street. If a gong zi/ shao ye(young master) have a liking for her, he will call the match maker to visit her house the next day. Immediately I told another colleague: "Lets go out tonight and walk along orchard road!!"
Well, I rushed to Bugis right after I left the office. Wanted to eat veggie rice from the store I frequent but they are close today. ): I am so happy to be home after a long day. I just want to be in my cosy room.
Chinese New YearWhat is the first thing you do once you get and after a long day of visiting? Open your ang pows right? Not for me this year. I just wated to get home and rest. My mind was filled with going back to work at Fendi. I might sound crazy but I just it is the matters of the heart. It felt so bitter when someone is ignoring you. Maybe you are not even a bit interested. But because of you, I know who are the people who care. Thanks for being there lovelies. I am so over you. . .
Today is the last day of CNY, I should put aside some time to open my ang pows. (: Lucky OX year to everyone! ;)
4th Feb 2009 WednesdayBrother Kim's birthday! I love you! Of course I love him if not i wouldn't buy a pair of diamond studs for him. :D I worked till 10pm and I felt so bad the peeps had to wait for him outside Zouk! Okay let me confess: It was my first time in Zouk!! Like finally. I don't really like clubbing. Not that I've not been to a club. St James, MOS, yes. For fashion shows. But right after the show I just went home. Didn't have the mood to even stay on to mingle. So back to Zouk. I love Mambo! Don't laugh at me but I guess it is the group of people you are with? They are such a fun bunch! Everyone was so high on alcohol and what not. And I was gulping a variety of vodka and martel(thanks to Terence). I was like a little monkey trying to mimic the hand movements. 'Love in the first degree' is the only step i can memorise in my heart. Haha! But I just can't dance there. Sorry but I was classical ballet trained. Not clubbing style please. I will just faint :/
I've met my fair share of weird fishermen. Two chinese and one Italian. Creepy i was so freaked out can!
So, clubbing is not a bad thing afterall. Because I stay with my brother and his friends. Once I am out of their sight for 5 seconds, I received two messages: "Where are you?? Come back now..!" Awwwww, how sweet. Just seeing some people dance really tickled my funny bone. :P
RandomGreat and I had sore throat/inflammation on Thursday. Felt a tad feverish. Difflam lozenges and Danzen does wonders. I have running nose now!!
Wanted to go Chinatown last weekend but because I am sick I had to stay home to recuperate. And I watched tonneless episodes of The Gem of Life. :D I will make sure I visit Chinatown this weekend. Breakfast, dessert, tutukueh, shop around and around and around for textiles, toiletries, pastries... etc. Oh you make me dizzy! I can't wait!
I can't believe I'm turning 20. Sometimes I wish I am older. Oh wells. Although I'm still quite a baby I don't want to be seen as one. ): I hope I will grow wiser. Not so naive at least. And don't fall in love so quickily. I get smitten easily, that is bad.
It is 8pm and i have not taken a shower cause I am going to meet Jenna in JP later. Dinner time ;)
Valentine'sOh dear! No one is dating me on Valentine's! But who cares. Haha. I got a heart cookie sprinkled with heart bits from the boss. How sweet!
