I wanted to do some new year resolutions on the spur of the moment after I saw some on my friend’s blogs but I refrain since it will probably be a waste of time. And worse of all, I will end up feeling sorrier that I did not fulfil my resolutions come next year.

This Year had been a bad year.

1) I lost one of my grandparents.
2) My work had been going from bad to worse.
3) I was the victim of a viscious smear campaign which had my superiors implicated.
4) Friendships were lost or deteriorate as we are all too busy with our own lives.
5) I lost track of what I want in life.

On the bright side, I realised I have grown much within the year. Emotionally, mentally and physically ( put on weight. TMD) . With all the shit thrown at me during the year, I have walked away unscathed and ready to face a new year. I am a fighter and I know it.

I decided to give my tuition kid a nice new year eve present by refraining to shout at home even though I was boiling in frustration. Smoke went out of my ears instead.

As for me, I spent the whole day reading Dan Brown’s Angels and Demons. And strangely the last portion of the book, there was a sense of deja vu and I seriously think that I read that part before even though I am sure I haven’t. And that is how I spent my eve.

Today is Miss Teh’s birthday so the tai tai gang together with Mr Gay wanted to give her some birthday special. Since Miss Teh is a little vertically-challenged, Mr Gay and I thought of an evil idea of buying a sunflower bouquet which is tall so as to drawf her. Evil us. Initially, I wanted to think of more embarassing things for her since it has been a tradition but Mr Gay said that the flower idea will make her happy although she will teh.

This is the sunflower bouquet which we gave to Miss Teh

Our sunflower bouquet only has one sunflower but the bouquet was not tall enough. The florist had to cut the stalk in order to wrap it up nicely.

The initial plan was for me to meet Mr Gay early after he bought the bouquet but some important things cropped up like 1) the florist had not open for business yet 2) Mrs Lim is still putting on her makeup ( I insist that putting on makeup is considered important.)

Meanwhile Mr Gay hit upon this brilliant idea for the next birthday. Instead of having a flower bouquets, we decided that he can make a vegetable bouquet. Wahahhaa. And we shall have cherry tomoatos, carrots, brocolli, blueberries, cauliflowers in our bouquet.

And we are talking about the main “flower” to use and Mr Gay thought of the dragon fruit.

That will be a very interesting looking and heavy bouquet. Damn sia suay to bring it around also. Poor Miss Sporty have to be contented with this DIY bouquet since her birthday is next on the list. Miss Sporty was in fact saying about that she wanted Tiger Lilies for her birthday and we told her we will give her a dragon. Different animal but still a bouquet what.

This Caucasian was sitting alone at the restaurant.The taitai gang and Mr Gay were daring me to approach him. Mr Gay even said some lame things such as ” You see, both of you are wearing black. You can walk over there and tell him that.”

I didnt know what came over me but I replied ” Might as well I walk over to him and tell him that maybe we are wearing matching underwear colours right? And then go to the toilet to check.”

The Taitai gang shuddered at my reply.

The food at Pete’s Place was good esp the chocolate log cake and the black pepper prawns. I realised that the italian pasta is cooked a tad harder than those I eat at pasta mania.

The delicious log cake. XMas is over but we can still eat log cakes.

After such a hearty lunch, I had to depart to work while the rest indulge in shopping.

While at work today, Miss Pooh and I presented our working system to the Big Boss while wang wang ( who is extremely pleased with our work ) stood nearby. Big Boss started to give suggestions on how we can improve the working system to help the company better. Wang wang did not like what he hear and started to disagree. After which wang wang left and Big Boss continued to tell us his suggestions. After Big Boss left, wang wang told us to disregard what Big Boss said.

Hmmmm, tell me and Miss Pooh what to do? Time for a judgement call.

Mr Cute Guy from work ( gay colleague ) did not allow me to put foundation on his face ( TMD, he plucked his eyebrows )and he threw the foundation into the flower pot. This fired up Miss Pooh into a rage as it was her foundation. Miss Pooh seldom get annoyed or angry at people, Mr Cute Guy is so dead. And Nabeh Mr Cute Guy made a rude action at me today while I was trying to put foundation ( to no avail ) on him.

He showed me the action which guys normally do with their family gems. TMD TMD TMD!

But on the good note, he called me mei nu instead of auntie today. But he used the cane to cane me ( I forgot why ).

On a health note, I noticed a tiny swollen lump in my left armpit. I hope it is a swollen hair follicle like the last time or a cyst.

Chinese gmail?

This may be a little irrelevant now but if you’re one of those unfortunate souls who have no friends to invite you, you too now, can have your own gmail account. Provided you have a mobile phone that is, but these days, who doesn’t?

Her name is Amy Ling. I have no idea who she is but seeing her acting cute looking so cute, just proves that when it comes to posing for photos, guys will never be as good as girls. Click the arrow below to watch the vid.

Life-time warranty , the packaging states.

” So if this got any problem, I can always exchange it right since it is life-time warranty”

“haaaa. This is made in taiwan. Only products from taiwan got life-time warranty.”

Nabeh. Cheat my feelings.

I am guilty of smacking my gay colleague and ruffling his headhair everytime he calls me auntie when I am a good zodiac cycle younger.

I used the cane on him again.

I am violent.

Guilty as charged.

Reality struck that I was really drunk when I could not recall half the pictures taken. I could remember the embarassing things but it somehow seemed more like a dream than reality.

And Miss Pooh has to remind me that my dress was the shortest yesterday. Tmd Miss Pooh.

Meeting with my taitai gang tomorrow plus Mr Gay. I can’t wait. Lunch is an expensive affair at Pete’s Place Hyatt Hotel. Tsk tsk.

Link to my fabulous lunch tomorrow.

And I stopped my carboh intake since dinner cuz tomorrow is pasta buffet. Miss Sporty told me to go for a run but I hate running. Period.
