HAPPY NEW YEAR 2009!!!

First and foremost, HAPPY HAPPY NEW YEAR to everyone!! I'm sure most people were having fun and juz enjoying themselves on New year's Eve but guess wat?! I was SICK in bed... damn... caught the flu virus... had a stuffy nose, and a very bad sore throat. Antibiotics aint working so far... oh well... but on a happier note, i'm really thankful that xiaoling was with me on NY's eve and New Year's Day! Haha~ guess wat? She actually cooked my favorite cuttlefish congee and even fried lobster for me! Oh man..... so I guess I cant complain that much!! Most of the photos have been uploaded on my FB.. here are some remainder from my Omnia! haha~

My cousin, Brandon...

Btw, my Omnia is happily contained in that sock...


That's dear xiaoling!!

*disgusting*

Best pic yeah!!

So anyway, I managed to find a near cream puff store!!! ~The last time I tried Beard Papa... huge disappointment!!! =( I think Choux Factory is more of my taste!! Check it out!!

I bought 2 vanilla custard, 1 chocolate and 1 strawberry, together with a cup of café au lait! Hmmm.... upon reaching home, I found this little note stucked on the bag of my choux cream!! haha~ cute and warm!!! Reminds me of the notes which erm... Nami writes to me... haha~ OKOK i know dora is going to kick/ slap me.... =S Alrightey, shan't type further. It's snowing gently outside today... I really do hope it stops soon... otherwise I'll juz be forced to sit and rot at home alone! =( I cant wait for my dorry to be back from KL!! Haha~ I've so many new updates about my new "wants" which I wanna tell her about!! Till then~ Take care, and have a great 2009!!

September almost to an end...

My social life is in a mess right now. Kinda. I'm sorta attached but not really, coz apparently i'm not sooo into mr. E and as usual, dora always has the latest updates on my side. So wat's been going on?? A whole summer break went past juz like that.. most of my close frens will noe that the trip to japan was simply disastrous. I still cant get over it!! Never in my life(mayb now) have i ever had such a bad vacation. It was seriously screwed up!!!

Anyway, i woke up today and decided to hav some corn. I had bought some corn on cob earlier last week. I took the corns out of my refrigerator and stared at them. I suddenly realized that, i had no idea how to cook the corns!! I couldn't decide if i had to peel off the husk before placing it in the boiling water, or to simply dump them in, and peel off later. I was so shocked at my ignorance! I juz couldn't believe it!!!! In the end, i had to go online to search for instructions on how to cook them. I did it successfully, obviously.. they're juz corn. argh~

But the point was, it got me thinkin: Am i really that spoilt as wat nami claims?? We were brought up under different environments, we hail from different cultures & backgrounds and our education systems were different. Is that the reason for our many quarrels or rather disagreements/differences? I have no idea. When she asked me what i planned to do with her the other day, i really didn't noe how to answer. I didn't hate nor dislike her, but i also couldn't decide how we could be frens anymore. From the moment we knew each, till being best frens and living together, and now, falling apart with one another, has only been less than a yr. I can say, that was hell of a 1 yr to me (of course, i can't deny that I also had a hell lot of enjoyable moments). I dunno wat i want exactly. I dunno if i still want to be frens with her, or not. Part of me says I shld juz let go, some frenships juz dun work! But another part of me says, i shld give us another chance. how how how??? I think i'm turning into a very indecisive person!!!

I think things would be alot easier for me, if she had juz suggested that we not be frens anymore. But now that she is leaving the choice up to me, it's juz frustrating. i can't decide! =( sometimes, i feel so free without having to consider her feelings and all those crap, but at times, when i go past the restaurants that we used to frequent, or when i juz want some good spaghetti, i realize that i still miss her, at least a little. I've new frens now, new good frens. But somehow or rather, the feeling is juz not that same. When dora and chew were having problems, at least she had jill and the rest. I noe i hav dorry and jilly too, but the thing is, we're worlds apart! My new good fren here, Yan, doesn't noe everythin about me. She's kind and nice, but the feeling is juz different altogether. i noe i've to snap out of all this nonsense soon, but until i found a solution, pls forgive me for obssessing!! =(

For fun **no updates**

My favorite:

It was an unexpected one though.. haha~ coz i went for my hair retouch a few hrs before my bday celebration and he was like askin me where I was heading after my hair was all set. So i told him and he was so sweet!! Gave me a bar of soap from SABON!! Goodness...

everythin is back to normal **wink**

Yes... i finally trashed things out with nami. In case u're wondering why i'm so free to be bloggin right now, it's coz i'm once again at work. LOL... doc will be in only later in the afternoon. I'm here juz to slack and pick up un-necessary fone calls... **BORED** so anyway, i finally decided to send her a text msg last wed. And then we met to talk on thurs afternoon... we talked about lotsa stuff.. about her attitude, about mine.. I'm so lazy to blog everythin out.. haha~ So anyway, the end result was that, it was actually kinda/sorta my fault. Basically, it all boiled down to me being insensitive to her feelings and stuff. Well, the way she presented her arguments and reasons sounded rather persuasive... so being the regular Christabel, i apologized. haha once again...

But i'm glad everythin turned out OK. Coz on fri, we went for Gyu Kaku (it was juz mad delicious!! Heard that they hav 3 outlets in S'pore too!!) and then karaoke. And on saturday, shopping madness. Easter sales or smthin.. I bought 2 pairs of jeans and another key charm from juicy. OMG... my new key charm is soooo freaking cute!!!! U've juz gotta see it!!! Too bad i'm at work right now.. otherwise I could post up a pic of it!!! Haha~ Btw, i've decided to go on a diet and force myself into my new pair of jeans!! I know it sounds retarded... but nami and I purposely bought a smaller size so that we'll be motivated to fit into it. It's spasic... I bought one from Adriano Goldschmied and another from G-star. LOve my new jeans!!! Wanted to get something from True Religion but.. erm.. too many ppl in the shop.. so, i decided, another time perhaps. We were at Woodbury Commons from like 1-8ish?? Madness... then we had argentinian pizza for dinner... but as we were too exhausted, we didn't really had much appetite. Kinda sux coz the pizza was supposed to be very good u noe.. hmm

Oh btw, i wanna try this dessert restaurant smtime this wk!! Mayb tmr nite, perhaps~!! haha http://www.chikalicious.com/ looks delicious right?? and definitely appetizing!! When Imelia comes to NYC this summer, I'm sooo gonna bring her to the good restaurants in manhattan!!! haha~ I think we'd both probably gain weight before we return to Sg. And then, i've my trip to Japan, which is sashimi paradise!! OMG... i'm like so excited... HAHA~ Alrightey, gonna head back to stoning and rotting.... Mayb i'll post up some pics of my new buys later. Ciao!


**Thanks dora babe, for ur emails!!!!

Sick & Tired

It's been ee-yon years since i last blogged.. Having lotsa mixed feelings right. My studies are going well, it's the relationship part that sux. I juz cant handle it. Relationships with ppl ALWAYS gets to me.. does the problem really lie with me?? Why can't ppl juz pass each and every day happily?? Why do they ALWAYS hav to complicate stuff?? **frustrated**

Want to noe who's pissing me off this time?? My supposed NYC best fren. =/ Seriously, are japs more sensitive than others? Or am i juz insensitive to ppl's feelings? She gets mad at me over the slightiest thing, regardless of whether or not i'm the cause of it. I've never encountered such problems with any of my other frens before. Not jill, dora, pearlyn.. etc... I'm exhausted, pissed off.. and everythin else negative... Mayb coz i've never lived with my other close buddies, which is why we never quarrel/argue? We seldom even hav any disagreements! But Nami, she's juz too much i can bear smtimes.. she complains that i never read her moods, i dun understand how she feels. Basically, she feels that I dun care about her?? I'm like thinking.. "what the fuck?!" I go all the way out to help her whenever I can, to spend time with her whenever she wants.. I dun think i've even been so sweet/nice to anyone before, not even my ex-bfs!! Which is juz ironic... but still, it's never enough. My bro says, that's because I indulged her from the start. But.. i was juz tryin 2 be nice, tryin 2 help her the first time I met her, coz she was having problems with her bf.

Now that they've broken up, it's not that I mind that she relies on me. I make time for her whenever i can.. but everytime she stays over at my place (which is at least 3 days a wk), we quarrel. We knew each other since last June.. the quarrels started Oct/Nov 07? It has become like an on-goin thing for our frenship now. Whenever we meet, we're at each others' throat. Even if it's juz a conversation on the phone, we end up screamin at each other. I mean we dun literally SCREAM, but we get pissed off, and then we end up ending the call and enter cold war. But every single time, I'm the one who apologizes. =( (mayb except for ONCE) She doesn't say sorry. She vents her anger on me, and then says it's because i'm insensitive towards her feelings. She unleashes a whole load of crap on me, and turns ard and makes me feel it's my fault that I upset her, so I shld apologize. I'm not a ppl person. I think logically, i dun like to let emotions get the better of me. But with her, with Nami, when she begins or when I feel she's gonna break down, I juz surrender. I can't deal with a weaping person. Seriously, i'm always at a lost at wat to do when she does that. So wat do i do? I juz give in..

But yesterday, I juz couldn't take it anymore.... =( I left her stranded there and juz drove off. I know it was mean, but i'd reached my limit. what shld i do? We're goin to move in together... this summer.. she's goin to sg with me... wat if we juz quarrel again everyday??? Sigh sigh sigh....

Pissed off!

I'm pissed off! Why? Coz this so-called "fren" of mine juz bought the bag which I've wanted since a month ago! Most ppl would tell me, "It's not YOUR bag! So why can't she buy it? If u had really wanted it so badly, u would hav bought it a long time ago! Ha.. so stop being such a baby!" The thing is, when I first showed the handbag to her online, she kept telling me, "It's so small! Total waste of $$. Not worth it! U shld buy smthin else!" So?!?! If the handbag was as "worthless" as she had claimed it to be, why did she get it?!?! FUCK!

Now the qns is: So, why didn't YOU get it? Well, coz when I went to the store last wk, the sales guy told me the color which I wanted, had been out of stock since x'mas! They only had the white one remaining! I wanted the ebony colored one, so I decided to try online shopping. Lo and behold, I found it 2 days ago! When I met her at work today, I was so excited and planned on telling her the good news. Guess wat? She told me that she had bought the white one!!!! Initially, she was planning to get a bigger size one, a totally different patterned one, coz she said it was more appropriate for her since she had many sch textbooks to carry. FUCK FUCK FUCK!! I'm totally cool if my frens want to get the same clothes or stuff as me... i'm pissed off coz she had initally branded my bag to be so worthless!!! If she had liked the bag when I first showed it to her, juz say so! We could hav gone together to get it or smthin.. i would hav been happy that someone shared similar taste as me! But, why lie?!!? No wonder, she didn't dare bring the bag to work together! Hypocritical snake! Seriously....

If she buys the exact same Hermès fragrance as me, I'm sooo gonna slap her! **Coz she had told me that it stinks** Fuck.... i hate lying copycats... they're HATEFUL!! =(
