Spending Spending Spending!!!

Yes I did it again lah! My itchy hand right? But some of the items are "needs" some are "wants"...but I do make sure they are on discount then I buy wor...so does that consider as saving money too? I think so lol....excuses I know....

Here are my needs....cosmetics! Every woman must take good care of their skin so that their man will not have excuses say their wife is 黄脸婆...So these are stuffs that I need everyday and I have to stock up liao....at least I stock up when there's a special 15% staff discount. A plus point is I use some of my Taka gift vouchers to buy so I didn't use much of my cash on them lah...luckily I have also gotten an additional $50 Taka gift vouchers bonus this month because our store hit the sales budget for 3 months. So it is kinda come in a good timing! So here was my purchase: Estee Lauder powder $70 / Kose Lotion Special large size edition $148 & Kose make-up remover $35. Price stated here are before discount. The rest in the photos are freebie that the brand give their members and I'm one of them. I am also trying the Estee Lauder anti-line/wrinkle range that they gave me...ya sad I think I need to start using those anti-aging products liao...as they always say need to start early wor and I'm not young liao...

Japanese Cultural Events Weekend

Last week we had a very Japanese Cultural events weekend, which is full of fun! First we went to the Japanese School @ Changi, attending their annual Summer Festival. We went there last year too with Hubby's friends help for getting us the advance tickets. This year we also gotten the advance tickets from hubby friends. We went there slightly late as compare to last year so we didn't get the chance to rent their Yukata outfit but it's ok because I wasn't really in the mood to wear it too. We also lost our way this year but luckily we saw a japanese uncle nearby and followed him taking the short cut and manage to find our way. haha

We following behind him.....

Then on Sunday, we meet up with Lay Heng and went to the STGCC 2011 event at Suntec city. I kinda happy going there this year because I see great improvement of cosplay in Singapore, there's more people this year and they are putting much more effort in their dressing. Not to mention there's lots of photographer there so I basically have to fight my way through them as I'm kinda the only woman with my big DSLR camera there. Plus I made a mistake for wearing my slipper there! So scare they will step on my foot lol and my slippers nearly fly off hahaha... but I really have lots of fun snapping the pictures of them. Here are some of the pictures that I like....

爱心燕窝!

From Catz Small Small World

Prepared by my mother-in-law yesterday! So happy that I have 爱心燕窝 too. Even my own mom also never make for me leh....hahahaha Especially having a lousy working week, this weekend is so good. Thank you mother-in-law for the 爱心燕窝...

Fun, Fearless, Fabulous!

From Catz Small Small World

Saw this in the cover of a magazine, I love the way this is written. I think the same as the tact line, be fun, be fearless and you will look fabulous. I feel exactly the same last Friday, work hasn't been smooth lately. Keep thinking negatively on my job, dislike some people who is playing dirty tricks here and there. Maybe I was having PMS that make me exploded, some people really want to make things ugly and make the whole world unhappy. So I gave that person what she has wished for, I make things BIG.

I dislike to be acting out of control of my temper but sometimes we really can't allow people stepping onto your head right? Maybe there can be a better way to solve the issue but I have chosen the way that this person wanted. I shot that person back with no Fear, knowing clearly that maybe people will think that my temper has overcome my EQ but who is showing me the respect here? I had a good talk with my immediate boss after that and he have buy my story in fact he is unhappy with that person's working style. chew~ I am not the only one that is thinking she is sucks. My immediate boss also had a talk with my division manager after that, I guess my division manager also buy my story...becos after that both of them had a talk with that person and I over heard my division manager fighting back her story as what I did was correct.

Well deep inside me, I must say that I feel good for having 2 bosses supporting my story and fighting for me as well. In the end I won the war....but back in my heart I dislike the big hooha that was created...I dislike making the relationship with colleagues bad, I dislike having the 心结. But then I really dislike her too! Especially after all this shit that she have created, I dislike her to the most. People can be nice to you but you might not get it in return. I have tried my best to be nice but she really doesn't deserve my respect. Will continue to disagreed to lunch with her or shake hand be friends with her...hahaha ya I a bit childish sometimes.

On A Tied Budget!

As always...without realizing I am over spending again. What to do now? Have to cut budget lol....

Now I have to tabao and eat at office as much as possible liao....eat in is always a better choice to cut down on expenses. Becos you will not walk around and start shopping, you will not spend on Kopi break with colleagues straight after lunch. That will help to save some money lah at least your $10 can stretch for at least 3 days unlike last time I can only use it for 2 days or even finish it off within 1 day.

So for now what I will be eating will most like be something like this....still consider as good food for those people that is in the poorer country so I can't complain actually.

National Day Celebration

National Day PH is usually boring, people usually stay at home and watch NDP. Not many know that actually all Museum are open free of charge on the National Day. So 3 of us (Lay Heng, Hubby and me) went to 3 Museum! It was fun! Museum were used to be boring in school days. Now we kinda missed it badly. It was really very tired walking this 3 Museum but it is still enjoying even through I was sick hahaha

Backdated Post National Day Preview

Can't remember how many years of NDP we have went to but this year we were keep wondering if we should go. Hubby is usually the one that is more keen to go to NDP but this year he see Youtube video and think that this year NDP wasn't that nice.

But in the end we still went to the NDP preview hahaha I'm kinda glad we went becos I think this year NDP is nicer than last year actually. I brought my long lens to NDP preview as well and took a lot of different photos that I don't get to take. It's a nice experience this year.

My New Love!~

I have been eyeing on this for very long! It was launch in June if I remember correctly, and I have been wanting it so badly! Since I have gotten my 10years loyalty award vouchers I can actually use the voucher to buy the watch! But I was thinking to wait till October when there's 10% discount then I use my vouchers to buy it. If I buy it now I can't have additional discount, so I planned to wait.

So happy that there's a 10% discount for this national day holiday for Casio! I don't need to wait anymore! I used $130 vouchers and paid the remaining $2.40 in cash...which means I only paid $2.40 for this watch! SO happy!

Went back yesterday and got my new watch!!! I'm loving it lol! :D

So this is the one item that I got using my 10years service award vouchers, I think it's a good gift for myself as it will remind me that I have use 10yrs liao and time is precious!

Loving the online Spree!

From Catz Small Small World

Lately our ladies in our department has been falling in love with ordering clothing from Taiwan. We have done a few times already! Which means I have spend a lot of money! Really need to control myself but it's really tough, many of the cloths look so nice on the website! Still have 2 sets not receive yet and I am so excited. Hope to receive them all~ :D

Ice Cream Making Workshop

Last Fri 29 July I went to this Ice Cream Making Workshop at Orchard Central, it's actually a deal that I brought long ago and wanted to attend this went Hubby is busy. But I didn't make it and only that day I went for the workshop. When I reach there I saw a few kids inside waiting, then I slightly regret coming as I am afraid that it's going to be whole class with kids only. haha But still since I was there already and I have got nothing better to do for the rest of the night so I went in.

From Catz Small Small World

It has been so long I attend class or workshop...the feeling is funny especially surrounded by mostly kids. haha As expected...the workshop is boring plus didn't really learn much. But at least I know the basic of how Ice Cream is made and I will never even try this out at home! This is too troublesome lol and long hours! I rather spend that few cents go to Mac Donald and just buy one ice cream cone then spending almost 1 1/2 Day to make this ice cream. Or even spend hundreds dollars to buy a ice cream maker to make ice cream lol... hahaha

From Catz Small Small World

But it was entertaining lah at least I got to know how to make ice cream. :p

Latest purchase on Accessories

Every woman love accessories, they are a must to enhance your characters and dressing. I tend to buy a lot of accessories..opps ;p but recently then I realise I have not been using them often! Haha That happens when I keep sleeping late and the next day when I wake up I just doesn't feel like doing much mix & match so just grab whatever that will be easy and leave home.

But then...I don't stop buying accessories! That's how terrible I know...haha So what's the new purchase?

From the left: is my new belt from Tavs Authentic Vintage @ Bugis. Have been in love with this show for quite some time. The shop sales lots of Vintage style dress & tops & accessories, have brought quite a few dress from them liao. I also brought 2 new dress from there which I'll post it later on...

Next is a new Necklace from a shop at Far East, happen to came across this shop at one hidden corner. I like the accessories there so much and I told myself that I must have 1 of their items one day. Went there recently when I was down and just wanted something that will brighten my days...so I am loving this necklace so much!

Last is a new shoe from Far East also, have been eyeing on this one for a while. Brought it last few weeks ago, I love it! It is so comfortable!!! Best for people like me who walk a lot at work.

Love it all! *winks*~

From August 2, 2011

Received my Certificate of Recognition for Loyal Service 1o Years awards today in the monthly briefing meeting this morning. Gotten the Cert from my Director and he commented "Only 10 Years?" I smile in return and say Yes.

Many asked so what do I get for this long service award? I have gotten $500 Takashimaya Gift Vouchers & a Certificate of Recognition lol.... Well I am still thinking hard what to buy using this $500 Gift Vouchers. I still couldn't confirm what to get for myself as there's so many things I wish to buy but with so little vouchers! Opps I shall keep in on hold till I make up my mind how to spend it. Will update again on what I have got for myself.

Anyway to end this post I would like to express my 10 Years in this company with "I F*#king did it!"
