TGIF + hamper

Yippe Friday is here! Friday is my favourite day of the week and I kinda like fridays because....

it means I can start to wind down....
it means weekend is just round the corner....
it means spending quality time with loved one....
it means meeting dear for dinner....
it means I can stay up late watching dramas....
it means I can wake up late the next day (provided that sat I am not working)....

With so much reasons, it is hard to hate it right?





Above is the chocolate hamper I got from a subcon for my bdae. It comes with a small bouquet of roses. Lovely! The wooden crate looks cute right? I got my carpenter subcon to stain it to a walnut colour to make it more pretty. Well the chocolates are all from Lindt and they have been all consumed by my colleagues within a short span of a few days. Lucky I brought home a small box so that I can munch on while watching TV. Hehe!

In case you guys are wondering how come a subcon send me a hamper for bdae, well I also do not understand. He called me the day before enquiring about some work related stuffs then he asked me whether I am free for dinner the next day. I told him "我佳人有约了，明天是我的生日." Next day, I got the hamper. Hmmm....funny right?

crazy sellers

These days the prices for HDB are going sky rocket high! Last friday, the newspaper reported that someone bought a Tiong Bahru 5rm flat for $675k!! The valuation was $550k, which means the buyer have to fork out $125k cash above valuation. The worst thing is, the buyer is a enbloc sales person and he/she paid the flat with FULL CASH!! They are really the black sheeps and causing the property market to go crazy.

Last night, my property agent called me saying there is a 4rm at AMK and the seller is asking for $350k!! OMG! The estimated valuation for the flat at that area is about max $260k. Yes, that means is close to $100k above valuation!

How can we afford to pay such a amount? They really think everyone is a enbloc sale buyer whose pockets are full of cash??!! We are just ordinary, average income Singaporeans who just want to get a HDB flat because we can't afford a private apartment. I thought HDB should be more afforable?

When can we have our own flat??

all done in a day

Yesterday jackson and I took a day's leave to attend our friends' ROM (now they are officially Mr & Mrs Chan). It started very early in the morning as the whole ceremony need to be completed before 9am. Don't know whether it is lucky or what, it started to rain after the ceremony has ended. Haha! Then it was followed by the buffet brunch.

After the brunch, we went to pay our deposit for our ROM venue and hopped down to Shaw Centre to see wedding bands. In the end we decided on the spot in the shop, selected the design we want and paid deposit. We also did some engraving on the rings. We settled on JK.WT.271007 which our name initials and the date of our ROM. About 2 weeks later, we will be collecting out rings.

In the evening, we decided to tagged along with Mr & Mrs Chan to their Bridal Studio to returned their ROM gown and suit. In the same day we also confirmed with this Bridal Studio as their offer is very attractive and most importantly I like their gowns. Tried on 1 of them which is a bustier with sequins around, I fell in love with it immediately! :)

Wow now looking back, we have done quite alot in 1 day time....

childhood + older

After being absent-minded for a few days, today I finally remember to bring my childhood photos to office to show to my colleague and also to scan and upload to my friendster.



So there is me and my sis, from the photo you can see we are celebrating our 1st birthday! Concidentially, today is our birthday! Sob Sob... older by a year again, slowly heading towards the 30 mark. Seems like after hitting 25, the after years will zoom pass very fast. Ok back to the photo, can guess which one is me?



Guess this one is us around the age of 5-6. Mum got her friend to knit for us this set of dress. Pretty right? As we grow older, we look lesser and lesser alike. Till now, people will not know we are twins. Hehe!

By the way, 阿妹，生日快乐！！Have fun in krabi!!

Oh ya, great thanks to my friends who has send sms to me this morning to convey their well wishes! Thanks!! Oh and also to dear who "sing" bdae song to me just before the clock strike 12 last night! Smucks!!

Pirates

Wednesday, me and jackson went to watch Pirates of the Caribbean, the much anticipated movie of the year. However, we got abit of difficulty remembering the ending for Part 2 as it was shown 1 year ago. Hehe! Overall we quite enjoyed the show, I felt it was much better than spiderman. Spiderman is kind of draggy and the story is not really that exciting whereas Pirates though it was long but it has more story content. Too bad Chow Yun Fatt's screen time is very little. He only appeared during the 1st half hour of the show.

Just read on Kookii blog that there is still some scenes after the ending credits. It shows 10 years later, Will came back for their once in 10 years on land meeting and Elizabeth is waiting for him with their son. Aiya I missed it! Did not know there is such a scene. Such a pity.
