Happy Birthday Singapore!!!

Today is Sinapore's National Day!!!!!! I have been missing the National Day Celebration for 3 whole years (@.@) Wanna be there for the National Flag, the Uniforms (No idea y, guys in uniforms are so attractive), the Planes, the fireworks, the excitement and anticipation! We cannot take this celebration for granted!! Must acknowledge all the time, effort and money soooooooooooooo many people have put into this. Some of you might wonder "You are not born in Singapore wat. Why bother" Thats true but I have been holding a red passport and a pink IC for Many Many years already~ So I do classify myself as a Singaporean ok. Plus, I Love Singapore Too!!!

Time in Melbourne seems to be crawling soooooooo sooooooo soooooo slowly. Many of you should be out celebrating and having a good time right now. Really wish I was there with you guys. Wonder how I am going to survive the coming months. I MISS YOU ALL!!!! MY BABIES (Qbi, Barbie & Kobe), FAMILY & FRIENDS! Feel so down, lonely and empty without Kobe and Barbie around.

A picture taken before they left Melbourne. Can you spot my Kobe boy on the right.
LOL He is so cute. Hahaha and Barbie always love to share my pillow!

Last but not least,

HAPPY
BIRTHDAY
SINGAPORE

Plane Etiquette

Well, I am back in Melbourne AGAIN. Hopefully, this will be my second last time (the last time would be for my graduation ceremony) having to set foot in this state for the next decade. Taking long distance flights are a pain in the neck, literally! I always end up with sore shoulders and a sore neck. The experience can become even more unpleasant if people sitting around you does not know basic plane etiquette.

Lets start with the one sitting directly in-front of your seat. Have you been in a situation where you were trying to enjoy a movie, when all of a sudden the person in-front decided to take a nap and adjust the chair ALL THE WAY BACK?!?!?!?! I know you are allowed to do so but how can one be so selfish to immerse oneself in comfort, at the expense of others? Think this is the worst it can get?


NOPE


Try having someone do that while you are having a meal. Trust me, you WILL feel like ripping off some of his/her hair from the top of his/her head, that happens to be staring right into your face. So, if you happen to land yourself in such a scenario what should you do?

Step 1: Adjust your seat back, back just a little, to make room for yourself
Step 2: Ask the person sitting in-front to adjust their seat back forward, ever so politely

If Step 2 did not work, please proceed to Step 3

Step 3:  Talk to an air stewardess to request for another seat

If there are no available seats, please proceed to Step 4
NOTE: NOT FOR THE FAINT HEARTED
Clause: Highly Not Recommended


Step 4: Since there is nothing else you can do, you may vent your anger and frustration at the air stewardess

Next, we will discuss about people who sit right next to you on the plane. During my flight yesterday, I was sitting next to an Indian aunty who was accompanied by her child/grandchild, a little girl (ard 9/10 years old). She (the aunty) KEPT resting her arms on the handles, elbowing me constantly, I couldn't even eat my meal properly. When the kid decided to sleep, things got even worst. The aunty placed the girl's feet on the arm rest. Yes...... My arm rest..... which means her feet was dangling just above my thighs. Wth is the aunty thinking?!?! I kept telling myself, its ok, its just a child, I must be more forgiving, think of my little brother, think of my little brother. Somehow, I dunno how, I managed to ignore that dangling feet and concentrated on my movie. Some time later, I couldn't help but notice that "SOMEONE" (Guess who) was staring at my screen. Please!! Some manners Aunty!! Some Manners!! This was definitely NOT a pleasant flight. I was surrounded by my utmost hated, in a confined space.
1. IDs   2. Provoking Kids   3. Crying Babies

So, What did I do to make my time there more enjoyable?? I took the miracle cure for MOST girls....


SHOPPING!~~~ Yep Yep~~ Shopping at the Krisshop~~ Wanna see what I got?!? All of my friends know I am a sucker for cosmetics and things that are purple. When you combine both of them together, I'M SOLD!!!


Dior Cannage Color Collection Eye Palette

This picture did not do justice to the violet

Look at the huge mirror and the glittery frame
Love them~ Love them~

Ain't the eye palettes beautiful. 
I love all 8 colours!~ Can't wait to put them on!!


Marc Jacobs Lola Solid Perfume Ring

Who cares if the perfume smells good when the Ring itself makes the money worth it ;p
(not saying that the scent isn't nice)


Did they manage to brighten up my day? YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS Love Purple! Love Cosmetics! Love Shopping!!

Lastly (FINALLY!! This post is making me lose my breathe, even thou I am just typing), some of you might think "What about the person who sit behind you on the plane? What actions are considered rude and inappropriate?" One, Never Ever rest your knees on the back of other people's seat! Its really really uncomfortable. Try having someone knee you on your back constantly, its irritating and annoying. Two, NEVER ever use someone else's head rest to pull yourself up when you want to stand up! NEVER!!!! A man sitting behind me during one of my flights awhile back, kept pulling on my head rest, in the process, tugging my hair!!! ITS PAINFUL OK!!! He did it Every Single Time he left his chair or came back from the toilet!!! Stupid man.

Why does such Inconsiderate Idiots exist in the society? Wouldn't life be alot more enjoyable if everyone learn to be more considerate. Maybe SIA should come up with a plane etiquette guide book so that ignorant passengers can learn about what they should and should not do.

Roach Crisis

Were you ever stuck in a cab with a cockroach?!?!!!!! I hvn’t, well, at least not yet. *Praying hard that it will stay this way* Recently, I had two bad encounters with roaches & cab drivers.

Scenario 1:

Around 2 weeks ago, I walked over to a cab waiting at the taxi stand. When I was going to board the car, I saw a cockroach resting peacefully on the roof, VERY VERY near the door I was standing next to. Deep down I was freaking out (!!!!!!!!!!) but I kept my composure (Not bcse I was afraid of how the bystanders might view me! I did not want to alarm the creepy crawly!) Anyway, the driver happened to be standing outside his car chit chatting with another taxi driver. So, I told the him “Uncle, there is a cockroach on your car”  Hoping that he would do something about it. His reply to me was “Nvm ah, its on the outside, not on the inside, nvm one” I was like………. …………… ……………. WTH *Speechless* In the end, I jumped into the cab (Literally) and prayed that the roach will not choose to drop on my head when I alight.

Scenario 2:

A few days back, I decided to take a taxi home from Jurong Point. Once again, I walked over to a waiting cab, opened the door, and saw a cockroach resting on where I was suppose to sit!!!!!!! This time, the taxi driver was EVEN MORE IDIOTIC!!! I was still standing outside the cab with the door opened when I said “Uncle your car got roach eh” The uncle said “where” and proceed to swiping the roach with his hands approx. 3cm infront of the cockroach. Some of you must be thinking “What?!?! Did Zita type correctly? How to swipe the roach 3cm infront of it?!?!?!” EXACTLY!!!!!! What did the taxi driver think he is doing! The roach reacted by hiding into the shadow. Then, the driver said “Its ok, just come in” (=.=)”””””””””””””””””””””””” YEAH RITE!!! As if I will get into a roach infested cab!!!!! So, I said “No!”, closed the door behind me and got into the cab waiting next in line.

What is the right thing for a taxi driver to do?!?! I am not sure myself BUT at least the driver sodn’t do NOTHING and expect the passenger to assume everything’s fine!!! Do Something!! Anything!! Well… Not Anything… Just Something!! Something that will crush/kill that pest!! You feel me?!?!

Raymond Lam!

Hvnt been blogging much lately due to my super busy schedule but I will try to blog more often from now on. Hopefully I will have more time to myself soon. Tried logging into blogger a few minutes ago and realised my original password is INCORRECT?!?!?!?!?! Its either someone hacked into my account (for WHAT?!?!?!) or my STM is getting sooo bad I actually remember my password wrongly (How is that possible!?!)  I know many of you are thinking..."MUST be her STM la..... She is always like that ga....So Blur ah" (T.T)

Anyway back to my main topic for today, RAYMOND LAM!!!! I woke up at 5am in the morning, after feeding and cleaning the doggies I decided to surf the internet for a little while. Guess what I saw....... YES!!!!!!!!!!! Raymond Lam was in Singapore!!! (WAT!!!!!!) Why did no one tell me about this BIG NEWS! Girls~ If you have no idea who he is, there must be something wrong with you! He is one of the most eligible bachelor in Hong Kong! Maybe even Asia~ He is the son of a VERY successful property Tycoon, has the looks and a HUGE hit in the entertainment (acting and singing) industry. His acting.... I Love It~ His voice... I Love It too!~ A man to die for~ Jia You ah Lam Fung!!

The ones in RED are the MUST MUST MUST watch! Why? Because he looks SUPER charming in them hahahaha. The rest of the dramas he was in, that are not listed here, are those that I hvnt watched or the ones whereby he was just a cameo. Yes ar~ he started out in TVB's acting classes, took roles as a cameo after he graduated and slowly gained his fame. He did not use his family background to make a big HuHa or made use of connections to gain his fame. He did it all with determination, doesnt that makes him even more endearing~~~~

Its 8am in the morning lu~ Gotta go get ready for my Universal Studio Theme Park Adventure la~ Hopefully its not a far cry from the one I went to in US. Pray that it doesnt rain today yea~
