Customising Blings

I'm always been attached by shiny blinks given out by crystals & can never resist the temptation of giving it a second glare or even owning them.

I been into DIY stuff so much lately, been spending quite a significant sums on Swarovski crystals to create my own customise stuffs that no one else will ever own it.

It more about the passion on doing it as compare to owning them, so I actually give out many of my master piece to many of my friends outta. Better to share with people that appreciate them rather than hiding all of them in my drawer.

If anyone of you are interested in purchasing my master piece or customise some design as a gift for your friends & love ones, do let me know, I'm more than happy to assist you in that, prices are negotiable!

Bachelor Degree, here I come!!!

Since the very day I step into HDB's office to sign my "Agreement of Lease", I already decided roof over paper qualification. This doesn't mean I give up on upgrading myself, but just putting this plan on a hold first.

After much consideration, the new house liability is gonna last for the next 20years, I can't just put my study on hold for 20years & stuck where am I forever. Before BTO flat is completed & liability really get started from there, I decided to go for a try, fork out the sum that initially save up for my house renovation & use it for my self upgrading first.

My plan was to sign up a 2years bond with the company, maximum sum of bond is cap at 10K, & I'll fork out the 12K out from my own pocket to pay for the rest of my school fee. I gonna have a tough time start cutting down on my expenses after so used of the spending money like a running tap, but for a long run better future, I have to do this.

My little impulsive for study also give dear a gentle push to further his study too, initially he plan to continue only after we get our house, but he suddenly bought this topic up to his dad last week on his study, he say since I'm gonna start my study soon, we shall start together, so none of us will be far behind, just like the time we go for our diploma together. It a good thing to study together at the same period of time, we will keep encourage each other to work hard & not to give up, this type of moral support is very important.

I'm tied down with a lot of worries in mind, I'm afraid that I'm not able to cope with my study as this time is different from taking my diploma back then. Diploma's result I need not answer to anyone as I pay the full 5K course fee by myself, all I need to do is to try my best, but currently I'm requesting for a bond, which means that I need to score good grade to answer to my bosses.

After I finish my Degree will be around 2014, my flat will either be ready by then or in a year time, how am I going to save up enough for that? Dear told me not to worry about money issue & go ahead with my study, he will settle all the money issue for me, but, I feel horrible to think about that. To build up a home for 2 but I'm not able to help much & dear is the only person throwing in the money, I just feel that is not right at all. So, even if we have enough money for home, but will we have enough for our wedding? At the point of time, I seriously feel like skipping the wedding ceremony stage which I urge for so much receiving the blessing of other in our marriage, just to lessen the burden for dear.

Money is really a very big obstacle to every moves we gonna made, since decided, I shall not think so much for the moment now, whatever have to come will come eventually, just need to be more careful with my spending. No more branded bags, no more online shopping, I gonna "transform" back to the thrifty & broke me.

Not so bad after all, it just gonna be a 2years hard work & I will see my return in no time. Definitely a pay increase & grade jump at work, & I'll be the first degree holder in my family if I manage to pull through.

Shopping day

On Saturday, we meet up with Ben for lunch. After lunch we initially wanna call off for the day as I wasn't feeling that well, but Ben suggested to go Orchard so dear decide to tag along to source for my birthday present.

Dear gave me a 1000 budget to buy anything of my choice. We went to so many shops, but nothing catch my eyes!

Channel - too atas for me
LV / GUGGI / MuiMui - so ah tiong
Burberry - I only like the Nova design
Prada - I never like this brand before
Longchamp - the quality not worth for the price paying
Agnes B - this brand is for those Xiao ah lian that want to buy branded back cannot afford.

Dear was a little pissed cos after such a long day I didn't get anything. Actually to me is not about the price, is the thought that count, I prefer surprises than luxury goods, I can never buy anything is dear bring me out to choice my present like that.

After a long window shopping day we had our dinner at Soup Restaurant & catch the movie "This mean War", super exciting & hilarious show, really worth watching.

We spend whole of Sunday staying at home watching "Walking Dead Season2" till Jimmy call us out for a drink at Canopy.

I'm going back to work after 2days MC, been so long since I fall sick till this extend, coughing non-stop. Haven't really recover yet jus hope that I'll be feeling much better at work tomorrow!

Craved

Can I go back to the time where there isn't any burdens on my shoulder, there no pain & sorrow, only carefree life awaiting ahead of me!!

Valentine Day 2012

Our Valentine celebration this year was a simple one, I'm really running out of ideas what to get for dear this year, top to toe, in to out, whatever I can buy for him, all I bought before. So eventually, I didn't buy anything for him.

Work as per normal, dear came over to pick me up after work for dinner. When I get up his car, there a bouquet of roses sitting on my seat for me. All women love flower, including me. Dear is not those romantic type of person, I really appreciate the flower he bought for me as I didn't actually expect any flower from him.

Had our dinner at Mariners' Corner, our first dating place 5years back, one of the most memorable place in our relationship. Same practice like many years back, they gave out one stalk of rose each to all their female customers.

After our filling dinner, we had a stroll at East Coast Park, who say we need a fantastic celebration for Valentine, as long as you have the right person by your side, just a simple dinner & a walk is enough, everyday can be Valentine. 😁

Lethargic

My super packed weekend last week is so hectic for me, till the very day now, I'm still not able to recover from lethargic mode.

Everything just bump in together, dear's mum was away for holiday, so I need to head over to dear's place to me "part-time" maid on Saturday after my lunch with Sharon & Junjia.

After a long day of house hold chore, we still have to attend a dinner & drinking session to celebrate the February babies birthday.

The biggest group outing we ever had, the singing & drinking session at Mono was fun, & of cos we manage to knock 1 of the birthday boy out after 2shot of Bagardi 151 & Waterfall. We end the day around 5am in the morning after sending the drunken man home.

After 4hours of sleep I woke up & get myself prepare for the temple visit with the rest. The crowd there was so scary, the smoke in the temple was so thick, it really such a torture to my eyes!

Went back home to continue my unfinished household chores before we head out for movie again in the night. Luckily I'm not working on the next day as I'm on medical appointment, but still, I need to wake up early to meet Jo.

My medical leave was so well-spend after all, manage to go for my review & catch up with both Jo & Tracy, but I spend a bomb that day buying so much Swaroski crystals for my DIY items.

So much to do with so little time, I shall not say much, let the photos do the talking once again :)

*TOUCH*

We are just separated by the wall between the living room & bedroom, my hand phone rang & this is the message I received from my silly dear, this little message to me light up my day!
