New haircut!

For those who have know me, I have been keeping long hair for many years. So many years that I couldn't even remember, I even concluded that I can't cut my hair too short. I will usually go crazy if hairstylist cut my hair too short (above shoulder length). So usually I only visit the hair salon that I always visit for my hair rebonding. 

But this few months the urge to cut my hair shorter (above shoulder length) is stronger and stronger. I'm just so tired to tie my hair, and I start to have headache on and off recently too. So one of the weekday I just went to waterway point and get my hair cut! 

Now I simply love my short hair, although it is not those super short one it is still consider the shortest length that I had for many years. Wonder if I will cut even shorter next time hahaha. 

Anyway I'm loving my new hair style for now.

Long weekend outing - Singapore Heritage Festival

LH jio us for this event, Mediacorp caldecott Broadcast centre open house. Ok lah we since nothing much to do shall go walk walk see see look look. We meet up for lunch at Adam Road hawker centre, my first time there for food. Hubby say prawn noodles and nasi lemak nice. I ordered prawn noodles hubby order nasi lemak. Both stall long queue in the end we had a very long lunch. 

Reach mediacrop caldecott around 2pm then realise no people there. A few uncle and aunty walk out the reception area told us event only start at 5pm. We all were shock as we didn't realise the starting time. Then we search online event actually start 4pm, so we went to a nearby cafe and nua till 4pm. 

Went back again around 4pm then realise security guard directing some people to walk to the back of the media crop caldecott then we saw a banner pointing where the festival is held. 

Follow the banner all the way to the back, then found OMG (Old Main Gate). 

Walk in then we realise there's actually free shutter bus service available at a few location. Faint! Then we also just realise we are only allow to walk around that back space of the festival. HUH....I still thought we can walk around the old mediacorp office.... sian diao. Event space very small. Some food stall, one small event hall for people to sell their merchandise (got no link with mediacorp), one outdoor stage some boring show, one indoor kids stage, one outdoor projector screen with many beanbags, one indoor exhibition. Event just boring.... 

Heard a few uncle also complain event like half F... nothing much should have open more area for people to see. haiz disappointing. Didn't see a single artist we decided to leave the event place after taking photo. haha waste time.

Meet up with my ladies

Been quite long we didn't meet in group, I didn't attend some of the outing in the beginning of the year due to some reason. Finally we managed to did a last minute meet up! And finally a meet up with no hubbies around, sometimes they will bring hubby along. I'm those that doesn't like to bring my hubby along to girls meet up. haha well my hubby also don't like to tag along but I'll tag along with his boys gathering lol. 

At least we can openly have our girls talk finally! Anita came later and we almost finished most of the food we ordered. She was too busy feeding her boy so she didn't ate much too. I see her very stress so we didn't talk much about her boy. Didn't want to stress her further lah. Wonder if I'll behave like her when I have my kids. Hummm hopefully not. 

As we get to be more busy with our own life we don't really meet up that often. So I treasure every meet up, hope we will still continue to meet up and our friendship will never die. Just love these ladies. :) 

April happenings - Artbox

A event that many people have been looking forward to, around beginning of the year the media has been publishing it's news. Many people have been sharing in FB about the event and tagging friends that they have to go to this event. 

Oh well I'm one of them that was looking forward to it and wanted to go. But deep in my heart I know it's going to be crowded like shit. What's more the event 1st day is a public holiday some more. Lagi more crowded right? Knowing Singaporean being Kiasu all want to be the 1st one to see the event to share in their social media. Aiyo all chiong there on a 1st day lah! Then after that, all starts to complain in their social media the event sucks to the max. Oh well I really pity the event organiser, but got noise better than no noise lah. Be it good or bad, people will still come de. 

As a event organizer before I know the pain of organizing a new event. So I felt people's complain about the event was just too hash. Or I should say they over expected the event? People put Bangkok's standard into Singapore's. Come on lah Singapore price via Bangkok you want to compare sure or not? Lol Some of the vendor that was fly in here you can't expect them to sell the same price as Bangkok right? How they earn? You want that price fly over to Bangkok loh. Then people complain walkway too small too much people. As I mentioned before PH leh 1st day leh of cause crowded lah then again Bangkok's market walkway all also so small lah you didn't complain there? Seriously I felt people are asking too much. 

Above are just my personal thoughts to the event, I felt it has been quite nice to have such event in Singapore. Singapore is already quite boring, so we should be more encouraging to the events. I felt the set up is quite nicely done really. 

I went to the event in the 2nd weekend Friday afternoon. So less crowded as most people are at work and afternoon time is damn hot ah! Some of the store wasn't ready yet still setting up but never mind, I just wanted to be here to experience the event. I walked around the store see what they are selling and their pricing. Also saw the super long queue for the Instagram worthy drink, didn't queue for it because I know where got sell and no need to queue so long. hahaha So many store were selling Thai Milk tea, I basically see Thai Milk tea everywhere.

Spend a $6 for the "Ice" just for fun, took photo and then left the place within half hour. A super quick walk around as I really couldn't take the heat any more. haha Going there alone is also good too haha hubby didn't want to go there as he know he wouldn't buy anything and he wouldn't enjoy it. 

Overall I still feel it's a good event, just that we have over expected it as comparing with Bangkok. Of cause there are still some parts of it to improve on but I personally still till it is a nice event. Good try. Hoping to see more different events in SG. 

New Hobby - Amigurumi

April month I developed a new hobby, Amigurumi. So far I have done a few toy using the yarn I brought from Taobao. hohoho you wouldn't believe how much more yarn I purchased ever after that. 

I also went to the library to borrow two books. Only did one robot using one of the book, yet to start with the other book. I guess need to go back library to extend the book borrow date. 

So far my two cute little friend I have done! More to come!

Hubby did notice this porridge shop before but we didn't went in to try before because hubby notice like not much people. Actually is because it only open from 6.45am to 2pm daily only. Another great find in our neighborhood.

I told Hubby I wanna try this prawn noodle, so we went down during the Good Friday. Wasn't very crowded at the time we went as we went for early dinner. Soup base is very sweet, we order their special mee kia. Quite nice but I prefer the Sumo Big Prawn noodles more. hehe 

April exercise month

April have been a month that I exercise the most...haha couldn't even believe myself as well. I went jogging and swimming myself! Highest record was three times in a week. So not me right? Wake up early to go for jogging or swimming. 

Need to drop some weight this month, I also dropped some intake of rice. Nowadays our dinner rice I'll cut down the amount. Hubby also wanna reduce the intake of rice at night. Hopefully it will help us with reducing some of our fats! haha

 

Photo I took during one of my run at Punggol park.

Stopped exercise this week due to mense, need to start again next week. Jia you!
