This is my current mood right now! Seriously, I may look like +.+ on the outside, but inside I'm like "holy shit wtf goodness gracious omg this can't be happening!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ahems*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of course by now, many may be wondering what's going on in my life that is making me soooooo crazeeeeeeeeeyyyyyyy. I'm not going to go into details but holy shit, my Hubby is one talented and amazing man! Omg I can totally throw myself at his feet right now.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Once again ahems*.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My Hubby and his partner's application have been approved! And with this, My dearest hubby says that our future is looking pretty bright, compared to last time. This is probably going to change our lives together .. As he says there may be a possibility that he will be going to the USA with his partner and I MAY BE tagging along. Haha&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We are finally one step closer to fulfilling two of our life goals which is to get a condo and our awesome darling mini copper within 2-3years. Crazy isn't it? I know. I'm practically shaking in my boots (if I ever wore them). Oh gosh, this is the bomb :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Maybe it's simplistic of me to say that I don't exactly have to worry (SO MUCH) about Uni or Alevels, but still ... Perhaps I should give it a thought some time soon.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm really happy for Hubby because he has been working on this case for half a year and he is really pulling his hair out because of the amount of stress and anxiety! The worst part was when we came back from overseas and missed the dateline of submitting some documents. This almost made Hubby have a heart-attack. But as swift as always, he managed to solve the situation as soon as possible and he was once again pushed into another waiting game.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After months of anxious waiting, he finally got the answer! It was freaking approved! Ohmy goodness. I can totally die of happiness right now ........ LOL NO! I want to stay by his side and continue assisting him in his businesses :) I'm so glad to have suck a capable man by my side ... Awwww.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now that he has accomplished one of my goals, I can't exactly lose out to him! I must work double hard to open my own business! Heehee :) wish me best of luck!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Toodles~&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4321255157550148694-1804251320308590523?l=aristocratsempire.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aristocratsempire.blogspot.com/feeds/1804251320308590523/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://aristocratsempire.blogspot.com/2012/02/ecstatic.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4321255157550148694/posts/default/1804251320308590523'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4321255157550148694/posts/default/1804251320308590523'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aristocratsempire.blogspot.com/2012/02/ecstatic.html' title='Ecstatic'/><author><name>Vanessa</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12177923736916376788</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-VBKHX1i-A6E/TaCWpOiOavI/AAAAAAAAAB0/LAwth6NMg4M/s220/55679_455530758112_522108112_5371428_7979926_o.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4321255157550148694.post-8965765787280331257</id><published>2012-02-08T08:38:00.001+08:00</published><updated>2012-02-08T08:38:01.206+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Too earlyzz..</title><content type='html'>Hi all, I'm rather proud today to have managed to wake up so darn early in the morning! If you are thinking ... What's so early about 8.30am? Well ... It's 8.30am and I'm on the Mrt well on my way to Dover!!!!!! Not bad right? I woke up around 7am and got my stuff ready and left the house around 8am.. It is one of my most amazing accomplishments yet! :D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some may ask ... Why the hell do I want to wake up so early just to go to Dover? That's like a freaking 50min ride from where I stay. The answer should be obvious to some of you: Dover is the place where I normally gym with my Hubby, Raymond and Bob! So yea :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well the thing is that my dearest Hubby have been gyming for the past three days straight! Hahaha pretty awesome right? But all the time we will always reach Dover around 11am to 3pm ... Kind of late I know. This time it's different!!!!! I woke up early ................. BUT!!!!! I'm still going to be late.. Around 10-15mins late D: oh why..... *sobs in one corner*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh wells.. Poor Raymond must be telling himself "习惯就好.." :P&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So anyways the plan for today is gym in the morning and accompany Hubby to teach Cheer to an all girls secondary Cheerleading team in the afternoon.. Before I head down to Orchard myself to tutor a kid. Feels pretty rushed and all actually ... But I don't mind! As long as I get to stay by my Hubby side *cue mushy music* :D heehee&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That's all I'm posting for today cause my Hubby seems quite bored in the Mrt ... Toodles~&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4321255157550148694-8965765787280331257?l=aristocratsempire.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aristocratsempire.blogspot.com/feeds/8965765787280331257/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://aristocratsempire.blogspot.com/2012/02/too-earlyzz.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4321255157550148694/posts/default/8965765787280331257'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4321255157550148694/posts/default/8965765787280331257'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aristocratsempire.blogspot.com/2012/02/too-earlyzz.html' title='Too earlyzz..'/><author><name>Vanessa</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12177923736916376788</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-VBKHX1i-A6E/TaCWpOiOavI/AAAAAAAAAB0/LAwth6NMg4M/s220/55679_455530758112_522108112_5371428_7979926_o.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4321255157550148694.post-4172069557730892649</id><published>2012-02-08T00:38:00.001+08:00</published><updated>2012-02-08T00:38:17.470+08:00</updated><title type='text'>EKEYAH.</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;img src="http://i1128.photobucket.com/albums/m493/halusatonaka/tumblr_lawz2jdZRv1qzc9qxo1_r1_500.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I miss eating at IKEA." My boyfriend told me one day, of course in Chinese. I just glanced at his direction for a brief wth moment, before continuing my epic adventure on 9gag.&lt;br /&gt;Naturally, he kept bugging me until I totally caved in and we decided to go to IKEA for our din-din. AND, we also bought a few stuff back home for our new room!!!! :) Oh yea, just in case you didn't know, I switched rooms with my younger brother because his was so much bigger and he was the only one sleeping in it, so I thought ... HEY, why not we change rooms? And I'm sharing a room with my maid and my hubby - three people squashed in one small room D: Hahahahaha. At first I faced much resistance from my dearest brother, but in the end, he went with it... So tadah~ Heehee.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;img height="407" src="http://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/s720x720/418065_10150757926985830_649245829_12368886_765017918_n.jpg" width="614" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My pasta with meatballs! I love their pasta because they use vegetarian pasta sauce which does not make the taste too heavy since they already got meatballs to fill up on the flavor!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img height="407" src="http://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/s720x720/398600_10150757927110830_649245829_12368887_1664848220_n.jpg" width="614" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hubby's grilled/fried salmon. SUPER CRISPY and ultra awesome I tell you. Love the seasoning they sprinkle all over the salmon ... just emphasizes the taste of it all~ :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img height="407" src="http://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-snc7/s720x720/401066_10150757927295830_649245829_12368889_1611145362_n.jpg" width="614" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What is an IKEA meal without the chicken wings! Hubby wanted to buy 5 chicken wings! But thank goodness he only bought 4 ... but even so, we still couldn't finish eating it D:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img height="407" src="http://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-snc7/s720x720/422967_10150757927685830_649245829_12368891_1740938453_n.jpg" width="614" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;MEATBALLS BABY!!! I freaking love the sauce and the jam! Omg, they are just too heavenly for my own personal comfort!!! Nom nom nom.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img height="407" src="http://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/s720x720/407594_10150757928085830_649245829_12368894_282005318_n.jpg" width="614" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I just love my sunglasses!! So awesome isn't it? Hahahaha and you can see my pink Prada wallet too~ Heehee.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img height="407" src="http://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-snc7/s720x720/425983_10150757928665830_649245829_12368896_2049820273_n.jpg" width="614" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hubby smsing his client :) So handsome right??&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;AND so .. after eating our wonderful meal, we decided to walk around IKEA to find the furniture for our new room .. and surprisingly we met up with my parents! Hubby was super glad we were not doing anything mushy like hugging or kissing etc ... Or else it would have been rather *AWKWARD*~~~~~~~ So anyways, my parents were there too to buy a toolbox for my father's tools. We went our own separate ways because my parents were in a rush to go home.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We walked quite a lot before we found our dearest shoe racks!!! YESS :) Plus! We bought about 3 shoe racks with about two levels. And guess what? My heels took up about 2 shoe racks alone and that is not my entire collection of shoes! Some shoes have to be placed inside their boxes and put into the shoe cabinet. Hahahaha but it is still not enough! Just like my clothes collection, which my wardrobe is literally bursting, it is never enough!!!!!!! So I also bought some extra storage space for my clothes, and the good thing is that the storage space can be hung from the ceiling etc :) Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeees~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Talking about clothes, I went shopping again once again. This time I visited TOPSHOP after not going there for like months! And their new collection was pretty summer-ish, which was just what I wanted to get! I got a sun-dress which was super chio! I will try to upload a picture of it sooner or later~ :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On the topic of shopping, I just want to recommend an awesome place to shop! Haji lane at Bugis. I tell you, many people mistaken that place to be low-class or crowded/squeezy like Bugis Street ... BUT IT IS NOT! The shops there are classy and very nicely decorated. The shop-keepers are polite and very well-mannered in the service industry. Even though the prices there are slightly more pricey ... but they have many good buys there! For those who love vintage fashion/items or even Korean street fashion, Haji Lane is a good place to go! I love shopping there because the ambiance of the shops are just so well-thought of! So I don't mind paying extra even though I can get a cheaper piece at Bugis Street. Anyways, for those who are curious, the price range of their items there vary from $50-$100+. It all depends on what you are looking for. If you want a vintage type of dress, yes those can be slightly pricey .. but normally shorts/skirts are cheaper :) AND, always try out those shops with sale! Their items can be sold off for half the price which does a lot of help I tell you!!! I bought two shorts from Haji Lane and I've saved up $100! :D Heehee. Plus the shorts are super chio! One of them is a polka-dotted shorts, the other has flowery prints :D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;SO ANYWAYS, BACK TO MY DAY AT IKEA ... when we reached home, we set up our shoe racks and started snapping pictures ... OF OURSELVES! Wahahahaha. I've always wanted to have a few 'romantic' 'sweet' pictures taken with Hubby, so that we have some nice beautiful pictures to show on our wedding day (if we ever get married in the near future), plus I'm trying to incorporate an artistic feel in those pictures too... So yea. I'm still starting out, so please do not criticize!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;img height="407" src="http://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/s720x720/425735_10150758070795830_649245829_12369433_1431091791_n.jpg" width="614" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We will always have one super 'funny'/'unglam' picture of us ..... LOL.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img height="407" src="http://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/s720x720/393832_10150758071025830_649245829_12369436_903098058_n.jpg" width="614" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hubby thought of this line and I found it so romantic :) It feels as if I've rekindled the passion *ahems* I've had for our love when we first met~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img height="407" src="http://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/s720x720/403254_10150758071130830_649245829_12369438_334801518_n.jpg" width="614" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is ultra sweet!!! Heehee. I just think Hubby looks uber cute here ..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;That concludes my day :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;"Along the passage of time, worldly possessions lose their value, wrinkles root along the face of age, beauty is no longer of spring, but what remains eternal is our memory of how we first met .. which rekindles my love for you ever once more.

And a huge apologies to all my avid readers out there (if there are any actually) LOL.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So anyways, the main event of last week was visiting my dearest friend MELLY. I can really say that she has been a really close and dear friend to me along my years in VJC. I guess because she understands me so well, I can relate to her really well! And not to mention the both of us love animes/manga/serial television shows and well.. being geeky (I guess?). Hahahaha.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The reason for my visit was not only to bake macarons, but to say hi to a new family member of hers! :) And her name is Muffin/Baby. Here was here my day went.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I took the bus 27 at a bus stop relatively close to my house. And to both Mel and my surprise, it only took like 35 minutes to reach Hougang Mall, but clever me alighted a stop earlier and I had to walk to Hougang mall using GPS. Thank goodness for technology!!!! :D We were supposed to meet at Subway for our lunch, but once again, I was so CLEVER, I've based my assumptions that gourmet stores are always found in the basement of any shopping malls. So I practically walked one entire round on the basement before realizing that subway was not there. When I came up again, the HUGE SUBWAY SIGN HUNG FROM THE SECOND FLOOR AND I'M LIKE WTH. I'M BLIND!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So anyways, we had our lunch at subway and we spent most of the time shopping for ingredients! HAHAHAHA because we cannot find the "sweetened chocolate" from the recipe list. So we were like hunting like mad. In the end, we just settled for some semi-sweet baking chocolate.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm also quite glad that Mel liked the souvenir I got her from Nanjing! It was a woolly blouse which had a cat's face on it. I wanted to buy the owl hoodie for her, but I couldn't find it D: Anyways since she got a cat at home, the blouse would be a good substitute for the owl hoodie! Besides she also bought a hoodie from Korea which had this 3D like ears and paws (If I'm not wrong!) ... SUPER ADORABLE I TELL YOU.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We played with Muffin for quite some time before we started baking .. that's because Mel was being super duper mean and she kept taunting Muffin with some toy. And it was super adorable to see Muffin scampering for it. Hahahaha ultra cute.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sadly our macarons didn't turn out the way we imagined it to be as it was quite flat and not rounded at the top D: But the way we squeezed the pastry using our plastic-bag as a substitute for a piping-bag was super super fun. We had chocolate all over the place and we had the hardest time trying to scoop the pastry into the piping bag. It was just filled with hilarity! And since we were like messy all over, our pastry kept dripping onto the baking tray and we tried to 'incorporate' the small drops into the bigger ones, and it was quite an epic-fail ending! Mel was also spamming the icing sugar all over the top because she thought it was fun. And our tray was literally covered with icing sugar all around.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Btw, I asked my elder brother on how to make the macarons have the more rounded look, he said that it counts quite heavily on our technique of squeezing the pastry onto the tray. Sighs* From then on, I've decided to just practice with my playdoh at home with a plastic bag and see how it turns out! D:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With our hearts burdened with failure, we went back playing with Muffin, who cheered us up quite a lot! I guess Mel cheers herself up by 'torturing' Muffin with her cat toys again! Hahaha jkjk :P So anyways, we spent the next hour or so just looking through Mel's iPad for videos on how to make nicer macarons and Mel also showed me a lot of Muffin's photos/videos. It was literally a Muffin-utopia!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;img height="407" src="http://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/422372_10150749335155830_649245829_12340932_1885503383_n.jpg" width="614" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Can you just see how Mel is taunting Muffin????

I've changed my blogskin again (in case you didn't notice) ... The previous skin was not really my type, but this ... this is the one! :) Pink yet lady-like and not entirely girly girly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yesterday I went to the gym with Raymond and Hubby ... Unfortunately, I was late again and it sort of reduced the time Rayray can spend with his gf. Because of that, I was like feeling really bad the entire day. Thank goodness they were really forgiving people!! Ohgosh :P&lt;br /&gt;We finished gyming around 1pm and went straight to have lunch. The special part of the day was when Ray sent us, Hubby and I, to get registered for our driving lessons!!!!!! Oh gosh. It is really quite exciting knowing that one day I can finally drive around in my Mini Cooper Cabrio S instead of walking or taking the MRT which is so time-consuming.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After that, Raymond sent us home before going off to meet Cheryl. Hubby was really anxious to take the exam because he kept saying something about being able to take an exam alongside me and whatnot. I guess it is kind of cute knowing that the two of us are going through this together. And Ray was joking with us about how I would be able to pass the practical driving exam (the exam where you get to drive the car around Singapore) on the first try. We asked him why he would think that ... and he replied that girls have a higher chances because they can wear something sexy and revealing to get into the favor of the instructor. I was just laughing my arse off because he gave us an example of his elder sister, who absolutely can't drive at all, yet she passed on the first try. LOL!!!!!! But I digress. Hubby then went on to ask whether there were any female instructors, surprisingly NO!!! All were male and most of them are quite senior. So it works out to my advantage I guess??? LOL.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And so my first exam which is MCQs on Basic Theory ... is on the 23rd of March, which is like NEXT MONTH. Baby wanted to take it as early as possible, but there were no more slots left. Plus from the day of our Basic Theory test to the day of our Final Theory test is quite near to one another, and the Final Theory test is somewhat harder than the basic one (DUH) so I'm like quite nervous for it. Ah shucks D: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh and Raymond was sharing his experience with us and there was this instant which was super hilarious. The exam question was "What would you do when you are driving and a dog appears in front of your vehicle?" And the answers were "Turn left", "Turn right", "Stop" or "Run it over" .... Guess what the correct answer was? It was "Run it over" ... Can you believe it?!?!?!?! Because the dog is not exactly 'human' and when you turn right or left or even stop, it may result in an accident depending on the traffic flow, which inconveniences your fellow human-mates. Omgggg. It makes us sound like some monster ... Sighs* But I guess they do have a point.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And that concludes my fulfilling day yesterday. Right now, I'm like spamming as many driving books I can find in my house and wish me the best in all my driving exams!!! :D Toodles~&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4321255157550148694-7553458138264049922?l=aristocratsempire.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aristocratsempire.blogspot.com/feeds/7553458138264049922/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://aristocratsempire.blogspot.com/2012/02/driving.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4321255157550148694/posts/default/7553458138264049922'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4321255157550148694/posts/default/7553458138264049922'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aristocratsempire.blogspot.com/2012/02/driving.html' title='Driving!'/><author><name>Vanessa</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12177923736916376788</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-VBKHX1i-A6E/TaCWpOiOavI/AAAAAAAAAB0/LAwth6NMg4M/s220/55679_455530758112_522108112_5371428_7979926_o.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4321255157550148694.post-947716304320597608</id><published>2012-01-31T23:51:00.001+08:00</published><updated>2012-02-01T22:00:19.815+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Hotpot BBQ!</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;img height="407" src="http://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/424995_10150736028820830_649245829_12308913_438703896_n.jpg" width="614" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;" With light, one blossoms a new chapter. "&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is a rather special post, mainly because I feel that it ties Baby and I together even deeply.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I've met many of Baby's clients, his family, his relatives, but somehow I don't really know his friends except for a few like Raymond, my own elder brother etc ... It is like I can read every page of his life-book, but a part of it is just locked away. And finally I got a chance to open that particular chapter :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Baby's old Gusto friends are meeting for a hotpot-bbq and I'm really honored to be invited!! :D Raymond brought Cheryl a few times for their outings, but somehow I always have something on whenever Baby tried to invite me too. This time was different!!!! Yay :D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They all wanted to meet 11am at Shihui's house which was situated at Novena. Unfortunately for me, I overslept once again and I took 3 hours to get ready +makeup on. A real terror I tell you. Baby almost dozed off at the computer waiting for me to get ready. 1hr to bathe, 1hr to choose/mix&amp;amp;match clothes, last hr to makeup. Heehee :S&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the end we cabbed down to her house and reached about 2pm, and surprisingly ... we were the first ones there!! LOL!! Just imagine the shock on Baby's face when we walked up to the floor and nobody was there! Hahahaha classic I tell you~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But yea, they were actually shopping for groceries .... hahahahaha :) Anyways, Raymond, Cheryl, Shihui and Vanessa came up soon and we started to prepare the food for hotpot - cutting, washing, 摆美美 etc. While preparing, Zhihao swaggered in with sunglasses and I was like "woah, look like some korean superstar!" hahahaha and he really looked like one! Clarence, Vanessa and her boyfriend, Luther, strutted in before we began, and when everybody got together, it began!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;img height="407" src="http://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/424477_10150736013590830_649245829_12308852_1722969870_n.jpg" width="614" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Baby brought this Johnnie Walker to a steamboat party ....

Super beautiful right???? Omg. The swimming pool and bbq pit are located on the 6th floor, but the whole condo is filled with greenery.. It just feels like having a steamboat with nature.. HAHAHA WTH am I saying!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img height="407" src="http://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/419317_10150736015140830_649245829_12308857_696710913_n.jpg" width="614" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rayray says he must pose with the fish to make it look like he did a lot of work........

LOL). And the funny thing about it is that everybody keeps saying we must do one serious shot and one funny shot, but then everybody ends up doing something different. There would be times when the girls would all smile but the guys would all have their serious-expressions on and vice versa!!! It was just super hilarious. We all don't have chemistry de. Hahaha&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;And that concludes my hotpot day with gusto pioneers! It was super fun even though I didn't speak much... that was because I kept laughing at the others' jokes, especially Zhihao ... He is so comical! Hahaha :) Anyways, after that, Shihui accompanied everybody to the MRT where we bought Gongcha along the way. Ray recommended some green tea winter melon milk tea with pudding and pearls. It sounds like a heck-load of ingredients ... but it was SUPERB. LIKE OMG my taste buds literally went into orgasm. Heh.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After going on our own separate ways, Baby brought me to Bugis to cut his hair and sadly the salon was closed for CNY ...... so we ended up walking about Bugis Junction and I bought myself two fashion/makeup magazines~ Heehee. I also got myself a new pair of slippers cause my old one was too torn to be seen!!!!! D:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At night, Baby brought me to see his new clients and Baby spent the whole time talking them into sending their kids into Singapore to study while I sat beside him nodding my head in agreement. Hahaha :P&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, that concludes my day~ It was pretty hectic but super worth it, because I get to spend it with Baby :) And the best thing is that I feel more connected with him since now I got to know a few of his good buddies and his new clients. Yayness~ :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Toodles~&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4321255157550148694-947716304320597608?l=aristocratsempire.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aristocratsempire.blogspot.com/feeds/947716304320597608/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://aristocratsempire.blogspot.com/2012/01/hotpot-bbq.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4321255157550148694/posts/default/947716304320597608'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4321255157550148694/posts/default/947716304320597608'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aristocratsempire.blogspot.com/2012/01/hotpot-bbq.html' title='Hotpot BBQ!'/><author><name>Vanessa</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12177923736916376788</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-VBKHX1i-A6E/TaCWpOiOavI/AAAAAAAAAB0/LAwth6NMg4M/s220/55679_455530758112_522108112_5371428_7979926_o.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4321255157550148694.post-7789468006000619634</id><published>2012-01-31T23:18:00.001+08:00</published><updated>2012-02-01T22:00:47.270+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Bob-licious!</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;img src="http://i1128.photobucket.com/albums/m493/halusatonaka/tumblr_lvz3tnmA2X1r84nudo1_500.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;" Be the champion whom you have always imagined to be ... "&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just in case you didn't know, I'm back into Cheer again after many months of serious MIA. Well it was mostly because of my hibernation-like-holiday-trips, the CNY period and me working part-time. So far I have no qualms about my job because I just got another kid to tutor which means more ka-ching for me! $.$&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyways, I'm here to post about the recent activities of my life to ensure that I am absolutely not dead *cues applause*.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today was Bob's enlisting and since it was in the morning, Baby and I head down to Pasir Ris to give him moral support and to send him off. Baby said it felt like he lost a good friend to the hands of evil ... not trying to say the government is evil ... just saying it as part of a good joke.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And so, we spent Bob's last few relaxed days gyming and eating good food!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First day, Baby brought Bob and I to a steamboat restaurant which Baby thought their ambiance was the best compared to the others. In addition, their service is worth to be complimented with a toast!! *I'm serious*&lt;br /&gt;Anyways, back to the story ... the three of us were starving since we skipped breakfast just to gym and we ended around 3pm. Our desperate journey from Dover to Bugis was just filled with complaints about being famished and what not ... but still, it was more of a joking-complaint (if that actually makes sense) ...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;AND my conclusion about that place is that everybody should really go and try it!!!! The name of the restaurant is 鲜得来 and if I remember correctly, it should be along the road opposite of Bugis Junction taxi stand. Good luck trying to find it, because when it comes to recognizing street names, I'm as clueless as it is :P&lt;br /&gt;Baby ordered a lot of plates and the good thing about it is that you pay per head instead of per plate, so Baby and Bob were literally spamming all the meat they could see. Obviously, I was eating shiitake the most cause it is my staple diet LOL who am I kidding ... But yea ... :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We ate/talk/laugh/take photos till for 2 hours!!!!! Yea we are that good ... actually NO, Baby is THAT GODLY when it comes to eating. It was no joke when he put on 10kg during the holidays - everything was just eat and eat with practically no limits! D: Fat ttm, but the good thing is that he managed to lose 7kg while I lost about 3kg ....................

Hahahaha, but its not like I photoshop myself to look skinny or have bigger boobs ... Unlike some people I know LMAO. But yea, I just like editing pictures to look vintage or cute, if you know what I mean :P&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img height="407" src="http://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-snc7/429886_10150730949410830_649245829_12289603_1120850376_n.jpg" width="614" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bob and Baby just anxious to dig into the pot.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img height="407" src="http://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-snc7/408001_10150730950020830_649245829_12289609_1124560042_n.jpg" width="614" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of course mine is the non-chili one...

Too much time on his hands you know! Hahahaha. Baby and I were joking to him about how he should not put too much pressure on other recruits after seeing how buff Bob was. Lol.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;So anyways that was the first day .... and it so happens that the next day we were meeting again!!! :D For my 20th birthday!! :) heehee. I told myself that after every year, I want something simple for my birthday ... No more huge-assed parties with so many people that it becomes a hassle to clean up afterwards. So I decided to have just a nice quiet lunch with a few of my awesome friends!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bob came quite early so that we could just hang out at my house, and he was such a darling for not minding residing in my ultra-messy-room-with-clothes-piled-about-1m-high to chat. Not long after, the others came! And while we waited for my mother to finish with the last touches, we just sat around in the hall and talk. At first Raymond and Cheryl (Ray's 爱爱) thought my house was two hdb units combined into one, and I'm like ............ huh? I don't think the government would even allow such a thing. And I don't even think my house is big actually ... I guess after living in a house for so long, I just get used to it being 'cramped'. LOL.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyways, we finally commenced on the eating and everybody somehow loved the sandwiches my mother prepared. Hahaha, I preferred the nuggets which were sinfully dipped in nacho cheese ... Oh-the-sensation-of-it-all just makes me tingle with delight. Sighs* Too bad I can only indulge once in a while since I'm still miraculously dieting D: And now, pictures! :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;img height="407" src="http://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/430128_10150730966020830_649245829_12289658_334413430_n.jpg" width="614" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here's the cute Cheryl-Raymond couple! :) Hahaha Cheryl is like super skinny and she keeps wanting to be fat, while Vivian and I were like ... "WE WANT TO BE SKINNY!!" Hahahaha classic :) And here you can also see Ray's standard smile!! :D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img height="407" src="http://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/426368_10150730966810830_649245829_12289662_1239102605_n.jpg" width="614" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here's the feast my super-special-ultra-terrific-magnificent mother, grandmother and maid prepared! :) You can see that most plates are actually stained with nacho cheese...

Hahaha not excluding me of course.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img height="407" src="http://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/405264_10150730967030830_649245829_12289664_1100030032_n.jpg" width="614" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Group photo!! :D I almost wore FBTS and singlet since I was at the comfort of my own house, but Baby talked me out of it and into wearing something presentable. Love the blouse btw - bought it from H&amp;amp;M~ :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img height="407" src="http://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/422410_10150730967255830_649245829_12289666_611405487_n.jpg" width="614" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another group picture! And please pardon my cui smile. I slept at 2am the previous night as I had to tutor a kid who lives at Orchard Road and the tuition dragged on for 3.5hrs!!! Oh how I hated the feeling of trudging myself back home which was 15 stops away ..... At least I had Baby with me!! Yay!! Plus this kid whom I am tutoring is one good kid and I really respect both him and his mother in many ways .. so actually I don't really mind! Hahaha, just that paying adult fare now just somehow kills the joy in traveling D:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But I digress .... Hahahaha. That concludes my birthday!! :D Baby actually wanted to bring me to this Paris restaurant, but I declined since I had no space left for dinner (we ended lunch pretty late), plus I just felt like staying at home and rest :) Still, I want to thank all my awesome friends for coming on time!!! Hahaha and spending such an important time with me :D Oh, and they gave me this story book which I'm dying to read after I'm done with my three thick books of DEXTER~! *Rubs hands with devious grin*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That concludes my two most wonderful days spent with awesome friends. Whatever happens Bob, all the best in there!!!! We all know you can make it in there :) Persevere on and I will see you back in Cheer very soon!!! :) Love ya and take care of yourself~ :D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Toodles~&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4321255157550148694-7789468006000619634?l=aristocratsempire.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aristocratsempire.blogspot.com/feeds/7789468006000619634/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://aristocratsempire.blogspot.com/2012/01/bob-licious.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4321255157550148694/posts/default/7789468006000619634'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4321255157550148694/posts/default/7789468006000619634'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aristocratsempire.blogspot.com/2012/01/bob-licious.html' title='Bob-licious!'/><author><name>Vanessa</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12177923736916376788</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-VBKHX1i-A6E/TaCWpOiOavI/AAAAAAAAAB0/LAwth6NMg4M/s220/55679_455530758112_522108112_5371428_7979926_o.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4321255157550148694.post-7230250075737978007</id><published>2012-01-27T10:58:00.001+08:00</published><updated>2012-01-27T10:58:18.281+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Update!</title><content type='html'>Today is going to be crazy... My entire day has been planned out.. And well even though I got off on a rather late start, it was really a miracle I managed to even wake up in the first place!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So anyways, I'm heading to Spgg with Bob and Baby! It's Bob's last few days of freedom and we are going to celebrate it old school! Gym before a good meal - since both of them have been craving for 火锅 (no idea why).. After gym we will be heading down to Bugis and treat ourselves to a well deserved meal! :) For me, it's going to be the usual cardio ... And I can proudly say that it's actually quite effective! Even though the scale doesn't drop, but I can tell that my thighs are slightly leaner than before! Yay to toning!! Haha :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After Bugis, I'm heading down to Orchard for tutoring. Nope I'm not the one who needs tuition ... Haha. And when I'm done, it will probably be 8-9pm at night! Which kind of concludes my day~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I shall blog in details when I get back or perhaps tomorrow... :P yes I'm one lazy pig. Lol.

We have been arguing on topics - new and old ... and frankly speaking I was so tied down with fatigue, I almost gave everything up. Thank goodness we managed to set aside our differences and set up a few new rules to keep our relationship going. I guess after one year plus of dating, the 'passion' sort of died inside the both of us ...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Plus, with Baby being so busy with his job and me being busy in my own way, we find ourselves drifting apart emotionally and mentally. It felt like we lost some sort of spark which ties in with the chemistry in our relationship .... yes it is as bad as you think.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But, with every darkness, comes light from a different source. Baby and I finally roped in our differences and settled with something that the both of us have agreed on after so many arguments.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Car.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yes you heard correct. The thing that helped us find truce was the topic on CARS.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you have been a faithful reader of my blog, you would know that Baby and I are thinking about marriage ... even though I'm still a young budding student, Baby was not getting any younger by the minute. With an age gap of 5 years, when I reach the recommended age for marriage, which is favorite 27 years old, Baby would be 32 years old and dude ... that is REALLY OLD. A relationship is about give and take right? So I've to give up a few years of being the youthful princess and tie myself in with marriage.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is not as bad as it seems actually... Hahahahahaha.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So anyways, I've always been a fan of Volkswagen, but Baby has always laid his gaze upon a Mini Cooper. After comparing many other specifications of various models between both brands, both of us finally came up with a conclusion. Our first car would be a Mini Cooper S Cabrio ... cue picture!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;img height="200" src="http://i1128.photobucket.com/albums/m493/halusatonaka/main_stage_noflash.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She's a true epitome of beauty ain't she? Awwwwww. Sniffs*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of course our first car would be something more suited to our noob driving and cheaper, so that even if we were to bang something (touch wood), we would not exactly feel that ULTRA TIGHT EXCRUCIATING PINCH .... Ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha T.T In addition, you can even customize the Mini Cooper into whatever designs you want. Of course this comes with extra costs and Baby was thinking of doing the customization somewhere else. This includes changing the engine and whatnot. Like how his friend customized his car into a sports car and he only spent like $200K! And that even includes the basic price of the car. Amazing right? Plus his car door is similar to that of a Lambo - you lift it upwards and sideways instead of opening a normal car door!!! Super cool I tell you!!!!! :D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So onwards to saving money for our condo and then our marvelous car. Wish me luck doing so! Hahahahaha :P&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Toodles~&lt;br /&gt;PS: I'm still getting my Lamborghini after earning more money~ Lol.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4321255157550148694-2424006023172018894?l=aristocratsempire.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aristocratsempire.blogspot.com/feeds/2424006023172018894/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://aristocratsempire.blogspot.com/2012/01/it-has-been-tough-for-past-few-weeks.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4321255157550148694/posts/default/2424006023172018894'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4321255157550148694/posts/default/2424006023172018894'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aristocratsempire.blogspot.com/2012/01/it-has-been-tough-for-past-few-weeks.html' title='Beauty Lies Deep Within.'/><author><name>Vanessa</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12177923736916376788</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-VBKHX1i-A6E/TaCWpOiOavI/AAAAAAAAAB0/LAwth6NMg4M/s220/55679_455530758112_522108112_5371428_7979926_o.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4321255157550148694.post-2579661257379321874</id><published>2012-01-18T14:55:00.001+08:00</published><updated>2012-01-18T14:55:10.216+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Cufflinks.</title><content type='html'>I finally bought my Baby's Christmas present! Hahahaha I know I'm always a tad (or maybe not so much as a tad) late, but hey! I finally got it! Baby is one super complex guy and most of the time I've no idea what he wants me to buy .. He always say that I should buy something he needs, but he always buy the stuff he needs which leaves me with nothing else to buy. LOL. Get my drift? I, on the other hand, am one super easy person to please. Get me anything cute, pink, or something with a HelloKitty logo on it, I'm elated. Get me something I've always wanted, I'm fucking delirious. Get me something which I desperately need, and I would throw myself at your feet. Easy right?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So anyways, this time Baby told me what to get him to make my life easier! And it is pretty damn easy to buy the stuff too! :) Just recently, he bought this Hugo Boss shirt for himself so that he can wear something nice for his friend's wedding this Friday. And it so happens that he needs a pair of cufflings. So I got the one he wanted.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;img height="614" src="http://i1128.photobucket.com/albums/m493/halusatonaka/2d785d24.jpg" width="460" /&gt;&lt;img height="614" src="http://i1128.photobucket.com/albums/m493/halusatonaka/43b34115.jpg" width="460" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you can't really see ... those cufflinks are in the shape of an airplane! And the cutest thing Baby did when he first opened the box was to play with it. LITERALLY .. with sound effects and storyline and all. I'm like ... -.-" he's really easily amused. Hahaha such a cutie pie.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And that's all actually. I've recently started my part-time job as a tutor and the pay is really good. S$50/hour and with two hours per week, it's pretty awesome, even if its only one kid at the moment. Of course I'm still working as Baby's secretary of which I accompanied him to meet his clients yesterday and it was a super hectic day I tell ya. But its all in a day's job and today I get to stay at home and relax :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Life is good and I know it~ Toodles~&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4321255157550148694-2579661257379321874?l=aristocratsempire.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aristocratsempire.blogspot.com/feeds/2579661257379321874/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://aristocratsempire.blogspot.com/2012/01/cufflinks.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4321255157550148694/posts/default/2579661257379321874'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4321255157550148694/posts/default/2579661257379321874'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aristocratsempire.blogspot.com/2012/01/cufflinks.html' title='Cufflinks.'/><author><name>Vanessa</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12177923736916376788</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-VBKHX1i-A6E/TaCWpOiOavI/AAAAAAAAAB0/LAwth6NMg4M/s220/55679_455530758112_522108112_5371428_7979926_o.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4321255157550148694.post-5721613272766251302</id><published>2012-01-15T17:44:00.001+08:00</published><updated>2012-01-15T17:44:25.513+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Lol.</title><content type='html'>The difference between my boobs and your boobs is that I don't have to wear thick paddings to make them look big.

I've a few awesome news to share~~~~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm going to Universal Studios again tomorrow!!!! Heehee. This time I'm going with Baby, Joel(moi younger brother) and 3 of Baby's students. My brother has been bugging me to bring him to a roller coaster that is more exhilarating than the ones we sat in Hk, and I thought the ones in USS are much better.. So yep! Going there tomorrow :) I hope he won't die of a heart attack or something. I know for sure I'm damn prepared for it! Hahaha.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another random update of my somewhat-not-so-mundane life is that I'm getting my iPhone 4S tomorrow. Well technically it's not mine.. But Baby has some "connections" so he told me to trade my old iPhone 4 for a new iPhone 4S in which he is going to sell my old one: which by the way is still in super tip-top condition! I'm so proud of myself! Hahaha :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And wells, as for today, I'm going out with Baby to shop! WAIT! This time it's not me who is doing most of the shopping. It's Baby himself! It came to me as a HUGE SHOCK because he is not one who is "designed" for shopping. By right girls are more inclined to shop because its programmed in their nature(hint hint Mel! :D haha). But still, I guess there is always a start for Baby! Heehee. On the way I'm just going to drop by the Prada shop for my new wallet. And that is the end of my shopping! Hahaha pretty short and sweet for someone as fanatic as moi :P&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another awesome update is that I've already lost 3kg ever since I came back from China and this time I'm hoping to break that stupid stubborn weight-limit which I'm always stuck at D: my abs are still not as strong as the last time, but I found out the problem of why I didn't quite like my previous abs ... I did too many weighted-abs-workouts that it made my muscles all big and somewhat bulky, but I failed to tone it nicely because it was super hard to tone! It's easy to focus on bulky.. But difficult to tone it. So this time I've another method which I'm experimenting :) wish me luck!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Other than that, I guess there is nothing much.. I'm still trying to find out a way to convince my mum to let me own a dog............ But there could just be another far fetched dream T^T Gotta ask Mel for some tips on how to convince parents to have an animal in the house! Her muffin is just super adorable! Ahhh.. How I wish I could be friends with Muffin.. Heehee.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That's all :P Toodles~&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4321255157550148694-8504832596211087109?l=aristocratsempire.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aristocratsempire.blogspot.com/feeds/8504832596211087109/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://aristocratsempire.blogspot.com/2012/01/randomlings.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4321255157550148694/posts/default/8504832596211087109'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4321255157550148694/posts/default/8504832596211087109'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aristocratsempire.blogspot.com/2012/01/randomlings.html' title='Randomlings.'/><author><name>Vanessa</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12177923736916376788</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-VBKHX1i-A6E/TaCWpOiOavI/AAAAAAAAAB0/LAwth6NMg4M/s220/55679_455530758112_522108112_5371428_7979926_o.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4321255157550148694.post-1069129356709451225</id><published>2012-01-12T15:20:00.002+08:00</published><updated>2012-01-12T15:20:51.867+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Pups~</title><content type='html'>I KNOW I HAVE ALREADY POSTED FOR THE DAY BUT HEAR ME OUT!!!!!!!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;b&gt;I WANT A DOG!!!&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now that I have your attention ... Yes I truly want a dog. I forgot to post about this when I came back from Nanjing, so here it is!!! :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Many of you may be wondering why the hell would I want a dog suddenly. The answer is ... Damn I've always wanted a dog, it's just that I've never really mentioned it out loud to the world and whatnot. And my mother used to raise a dog with her parents and it was just EXHAUSTING. The time, the effort, they put into one small dog was tremendous and somehow it had formed some sort of mental wall in my mother's brain (LOL I'm jk). Don't get me wrong, we all love dogs, but we all hate doing the work like cleaning up after it etc. So seriously, raising a dog is just too painful.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;BUT WAIT!&lt;br /&gt;I may be able to change my mother's mind about it though ... :) You see, while I was in Nanjing, where dog ownership is more relaxed than here in Singapore, I got to engage myself with different dogs .... Who am I kidding? I only made friends with 3 dogs! But guess what??? They are all so freaking adorable!!!! Here are some pictures for your eyes to melt in pure cuteness :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;img height="271" src="https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-snc7/391875_10150677832010830_649245829_12127083_42297392_n.jpg" width="410" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First of all ... say hello to MaoMao!! :) She is of a Samoyed breed and guess how old she is?&lt;br /&gt;SHE IS JUST 3 MONTHS OLD!!! And look how BIG she is!!! :D She is practically half my size (sorry for being small) and she can literally pounce on me and I would be helpless. Hahahaha. And well, she is still teething (something like me) and she has the tendency to bite Baby's fingers (just like me for the moment!). Hahahaha but other than that, she is super obedient and adorable I tell you. Once she is fully grown, she will be DAMN BIG man .. And I think she can easily overpower Baby by then :P&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img height="271" src="https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/386093_10150677839135830_649245829_12127135_1215320313_n.jpg" width="410" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Our next contestant is called Laughing! And well I've nothing much to say about this guy because he has left me super bad impression on him! Hahahaha, first of all, he is going through a process where his body is constantly "hot" ... Yes it is the mating season for him!!!! Yay!! And practically he keeps bouncing onto any girls/ladies and keeps .... well ...... 'banging' their legs. So yea, nothing much to say about this guy :(&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img height="271" src="https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/386258_10150677840440830_649245829_12127145_1497747103_n.jpg" width="410" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;AND OUR LAST CONTESTANT IS THIS ADORABLE LITTLE THING. Her name is called NiuNiu which means little lady. AND SHE IS FUCKING CUTE CAN!!!!! T^T I can cry whenever I look into her eyes. Gawdddd... She is of a mini-teddy breed and she is freaking obedient. She doesn't bark, she doesn't scratch, bite etc ... And she will let practically any stranger hold her as long as she can smell her owner close by! I'm serious! I was holding her while her owner was playing with the other guys, and they all went to answer nature call. After a few seconds, Niuniu suddenly perked up her eyes and looked frantically around. At that time, I had no idea what she was doing. Then she started to do those really adorable whining and kept sniffling her nose. That was when I realized she could not smell her owner! So I brought her to the toilet and waited for her owner to finish ahems* The moment NiuNiu saw her owner, she was just excited, she wanted to jump out of my hands, towards her owner. How loyal is she!!!! OMGGGGG ULTIMATE CUTENESS!!!!!!! *faints* (check out her winter suit her owner gave her ... a freaking panda!! omggggg ... CCUUUUTTTEEEEEE)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Even Baby agreed that NiuNiu was super adorable and we have been discussing about owning a dog like NiuNiu. And I can tell that he is quite excited about it too, but the only problem lies with my parents not wanting to own one. Especially when they are going to shift off to a new house. Imagine a new house soiled by a puppy who is not trained to use the potty ... So Baby and I are like trying to come up with tactics to convince my parents to let us own a dog. And worse come to worse, we will just own one after we get a house for both ourselves. Ahhhhh, she is just too adorable for words!!!! T.T Sobs*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well that's the end of my super short post! Hahahahaha (I've been writing lots of long posts there few days boo..)&lt;br /&gt;Toodles~&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4321255157550148694-1069129356709451225?l=aristocratsempire.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aristocratsempire.blogspot.com/feeds/1069129356709451225/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://aristocratsempire.blogspot.com/2012/01/pups.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4321255157550148694/posts/default/1069129356709451225'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4321255157550148694/posts/default/1069129356709451225'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aristocratsempire.blogspot.com/2012/01/pups.html' title='Pups~'/><author><name>Vanessa</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12177923736916376788</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-VBKHX1i-A6E/TaCWpOiOavI/AAAAAAAAAB0/LAwth6NMg4M/s220/55679_455530758112_522108112_5371428_7979926_o.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4321255157550148694.post-7919680976640623835</id><published>2012-01-12T11:35:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2012-01-12T11:35:00.070+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Oh The Painzzzz.</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;img src="http://i1128.photobucket.com/albums/m493/halusatonaka/tumblr_lnej4rPwBv1qjhknjo1_500.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;PAIN ... that is the only word not only stuck in my head, but in various parts of my body as well :( Okay, that sounds wrong ... BUT HEAR ME OUT!!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ever since I came back from my trip, I've been working out like almost everyday!!!! :) Cause my poor abs have been reduced to a really sad vertical line across my stomach while the outer lines have all been absorbed by my amazing fats. Lol. So I've been running 4km everyday and doing weighted sit-ups. Sit-ups is probably the most basic exercise to strengthen abs, but if you want to tone it, sit-ups is not exactly as effective as other stomach exercises. That's why I carry weights while doing sit-ups. It's more of a challenge and more effective like that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ANYWAYS, today I woke up with a very very sore stomach, which is both a good thing and bad thing :( The good thing is that, a sore pain means that my exercises are effective in training my muscles! Don't be mistaken between a sore pain and an aching pain - an aching pain mostly means you overdid your training or your method of exercising is wrong. But the bad thing is that ....... IT IS STILL PAIN! And I can't do any of my abs training without saying "eeeekkkkk". Lol.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Besides my stomach feeling pain, my throat is like FREAKING SORE now. I've been drinking lots of water these few days because of my strenuous exercises ... BUT, I still got a freaking sore throat ... And I finally realized why.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;MY EFFING WISDOM TOOTH IS SPROUTING!!!! (the funny thing is that only my bottom-left wisdom tooth is sprouting ... and the others don't seem to be surfacing) And the worst part of it is that ... being 19+years old, my gum is already rock hard or what you say "fully-matured". With the new tooth, it has to 'dig' its way out of my gums from the roots. AND MY GUM HURTS LIKE HELL!!!!!!!! My gum-flesh is like slowly being ripped open for the new tooth to appear. You may ask why is it that when we were kids, and our permanent tooth was sprouting, it didn't feel painful. THAT'S BECAUSE WE WERE KIDS!!!!! Our gums are not exactly fully 'hardened' and the new tooth had space to grow into, without having to rip the gums apart. BUT IT IS DIFFERENT NOW!! WTF!!! Another thing is .. because the new tooth is pushing out of my gums, my lower gum is swollen and because of that, my upper tooth keeps grinding on whenever I close my mouth! DOUBLE PAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! How can life be anymore excruciating?!?!?!?!?! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I told Bob about it yesterday night and he was shocked to how pain it was. He told me to quickly get it extracted. But the problem was it has not fully surfaced yet ... however I can see the shape of it had formed under my gum :( Bob was curious as to how it felt .. and my most accurate feeling I could give him was of a young dog teething ... New teeth are sprouting and I have this constant need to bite something. Seriously. Of course when I told him that, it was funny and he told me to take painkillers .. which sadly I don't like!!!! :( How sad is the world going to get?!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My whole family knew about my wisdom tooth and they kept telling me their experiences. For my elder brother, it was slightly sore, but he said it was a pain he could handle... But he had no need to extract them, because his mouth had enough space to accommodate all 4 of his wisdom teeth (yes he has a big mouth hehheh). My mother had hers extracted when she was quite old because her wisdom tooth had decayed. I've read up some articles about it and there are many more people who have the same problem of their wisdom tooth easily decaying. Because it is grown so deep inside our mouth, it is hard to brush and floss, so many people would just neglect it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;BUT the worst story was Baby's story of how he got his bottom wisdom teeth extracted. His upper jaw was big enough to let his wisdom teeth grow, but his lower jaw had no space and when they sprouted out, he said it was super painful as well and his wisdom teeth practically squeezed the rest of his bottom jaw teeth which led to major discomfort. So he wanted to get it extracted. But his wisdom teeth were not exactly fully sprouted, so his operation was quite a disturbing one.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The dentist told him that he had to first saw the gum where the wisdom teeth is sprouting and slowly smash the wisdom teeth into smaller pieces so that he can extract them and gently cut the roots/veins. Because of that the dentist let him eat some athlete medicine to get his heart-rate up really high so that the blood will be pumping at a faster rate than rest, to prevent him from slipping into a comma during the sawing of his gums. Of course they put those anesthetic medicine on his gums to make it numb and all.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But the other scary thing is that they had to strap Baby's arms across his chest like those lunatics you see on tv. This was to prevent him from suddenly jerking during the operation due to that athlete medicine. AND Baby said that he was fully awake while they operated on him, because the athlete medicine made him fully energized and the dentist said that his eyes were like opened super big during the operation. Can you just imagine how scary that feels????? D:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That's why I'm pretty freaked out by the whole thing and I'm really really dreading this feeling :( it's like last night I kept wanting to bite stuff and Baby was afraid that I might further hurt my gums, so he gave me his finger to bite on. Of course it felt slightly better! It was really gracious of him :) Arghhhh. I guess the good thing is that having such acute pain in my gums sort of diminished my appetite and it was helpful towards my diet since I don't feel like eating so often. But it is still PAIN! D':&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's like I also have no mood to do anything but to just keep chomping my jaws and biting things. Thank God I had my parents around. They gave me this medicine where I just have to apply it on my 'itching' gums, and tadah, it was numb! The pain slowly faded away to my delight, unfortunately, because I kept playing with the 'medicine in my mouth, my mouth became numb ... and I couldn't talk properly. So last night I was just literally flapping my gums whenever I talk. Hahahahahaha! Baby also let me watch Real Steel on his MacBook to help me keep my mind off my gums and it was quite effective! :D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Besides the pain and all, it was quite troublesome all in all ... I couldn't talk properly without feeling my gums rubbing against each other, I couldn't brush my teeth without feeling pain on my lower gums, I couldn't keep it from stop itching etc ... But the worst part was sleeping. I had to freaking sleep with my mouth opened. And to prevent me from drooling on my pillow, I had to place a freaking handkerchief under my mouth and I actually bit my pillow to sleep! How embarrassing .... Oh the horror.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thank goodness most of the pain faded away today and I'm thinking of visiting a dentist in a few days time when my mother is free. But I can still feel my gums rubbing against each other whenever I close my jaw fully. So I have to adjust myself to open my mouth 24/7 .... So I basically look like this :O SERIOUSLY HOW STUPID.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh wells, here is me wishing all those people who are expecting their wisdom tooth to come out any time soon! Toodles~ :(&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4321255157550148694-7919680976640623835?l=aristocratsempire.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aristocratsempire.blogspot.com/feeds/7919680976640623835/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://aristocratsempire.blogspot.com/2012/01/oh-painzzzz.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4321255157550148694/posts/default/7919680976640623835'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4321255157550148694/posts/default/7919680976640623835'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aristocratsempire.blogspot.com/2012/01/oh-painzzzz.html' title='Oh The Painzzzz.'/><author><name>Vanessa</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12177923736916376788</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-VBKHX1i-A6E/TaCWpOiOavI/AAAAAAAAAB0/LAwth6NMg4M/s220/55679_455530758112_522108112_5371428_7979926_o.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4321255157550148694.post-946530988487405475</id><published>2012-01-11T11:26:00.001+08:00</published><updated>2012-01-11T11:30:25.448+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Commences~</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;img height="271" src="https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/s720x720/388726_10150677857145830_649245829_12127278_1521406581_n.jpg" width="410" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;" Choose Juicy :) "&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And so I've finally started work for Baby as his darling, adorable secretary. LOL *pukes*. It's really quite easy, I get to stay home and work which is way more relaxing than any admin job. Only on a few occasions when I get to go along with Baby and meet his clients, will I then finally step out of the house. Plus my basic pay would be around 1.3k and if Baby is successful, I get commission and bonus too! In addition, Baby's students also require English tuition and I get to teach them basic English which is pretty much DAMN EASY TO TEACH! And one lesson is around $100, so if every week there are two lessons, I would earn about $800/month for each student. Amazing right? So my basic pay should be around 2.1k if I only have one student (WHICH IS STILL QUITE A LOT FOR ME STAYING HOME 95% OF THE TIME!) :D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Plus this is my first time actually "working" for somebody ... and to think that my boss is my lover! (Ohh scandalicious rumors! .................. your head ah) I think my life is really like a princess; I'm always so well taken care of by Baby, his family and even my own family! I'm guessing being the middle child and the only girl in the house has its own perks! Wakakaka :D But of course I don't intend to be like this forever. I'm thinking of saving up the money to open my own future! (I've mentioned it quite a few times I think?) No more being treated like a princess! Time for me to get cracking~ :)&lt;br /&gt;So anyways, my pay for one month is more than enough to buy a Prada wallet which I have been eyeing for quite some time. When I first touched Baby's Prada wallet, the leather was somewhat different from my Prada bag, and it felt really really awesome for a wallet! (Of course the material of my bag is pretty amazing too!) So I've decided to get myself one wallet too! Anyways, it is time for me to change my wallet because my LV wallet has been dying on me ...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For those who don't know the story of my dearest LV wallet, it goes like this : I left my LV wallet in my gym bag which was waterproof inside out. And I somehow forgot to take out my sports bottle from the bag too! So I left my gym bag at the corner of my room overnight. The next day I've finally remembered my sports bottle was still inside and proceeded to take it out. That was why I realized that my sports bottle was leaking and there was this 'pool' inside my gym bag which had about a one-inch depth! The water didn't flow out of my gym bag because (like I've said) it was waterproof!!!! And I saw my poor LV wallet lying in that pool of water all soaked at the bottom. Let me pose a question to all my fellow readers out there ... What happens when pure leather get submerged in water overnight? The answer is ... IT FUCKING SHRINKS AND GO OUT OF SHAPE! The whole freaking leather was spoiled! D: I was like WTF?!?!?!?!?! But thank goodness, the money inside was still dry - behold the power of LV leather wallets :( And I couldn't bear to change the wallet so soon! (it was only 3 weeks old!!!) Plus it was a present from Baby when he had to go for his overseas business trip and left me alone for 2weeks+, so I held on to it for close to a year with the leather all horrible like that :( You can seriously feel the difference - the area which was not affected by water and the area which was freaking submerged in it overnight! Damn I feel stupid.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And that is how my LV got spoiled overnight! Yay! ............................... sobs*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;SOB STORY ASIDE!!!!!! Everything starts anew with 2012!!!! New clothes for Chinese New Year! New resolutions for the year! New look(btw, I've recently cut my hair because the super cold weather in Nanjing freaking spoiled the ends!! T.T)! New everything! Including new wallet and bag! I'm not being superficial mind you. I'm being realistic! Every girl in the world knows that the new year brings new promises with them, thus they change their outer-appearance as well as their inner-personality! And I've never like dangle my new stuff in front of my friend and laugh at their non-existant-ability to not afford it. I NEVER DID THAT. I only like to take pictures of pretty stuff (cues Juicy Couture picture above), and all my stuff are pretty! Hahahaha :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So anyways, what I did for my job as 陈老板亲爱的秘书 so far is just writing and translating two letters and later I will be going out to meet one of his clients :) Who is going to treat us to dinner. Pretty awesome right? Hahahaha. Oh wells~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But I've been thinking of getting another part-time job which does not clash with Baby's schedule, so that I can earn about 3k+. Ever since I saw Baby's friends all getting married, I've realized how much their wives supported them. Getting a house in China is one of the hardest thing to do because their houses there are quite expensive in lieu with their pay-checks. The average pay of one China University graduate is only RMB2000, which is only $400bux here in SG! At least the average of one SG University Graduate is about $1.5kbux! And their houses are really exactly like our HDBs here in Singapore which is quite spacious for an average family. Their houses are all quite cramped unless you are looking for a private estate which costs even more for them. So it was quite tough for Baby's friends to buy their houses, yet they still managed to do so. Why? Because their wives were working hard too! Which goes to say that I'm really really treated like a Princess here. Gosh. When I discussed this with Baby, he told me not to worry so much. But somehow I still can't help but worry, that's why my mood this morning was quite snappy towards him *oops*. Even though we have only dated for 1 year and 8 months, we have already talked of plans for our future, involving a house, a car ... and what we will do together as husband and wife.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Many (and I do mean MANY) modern SG &lt;s&gt;girls&lt;/s&gt; LADIES, will always say that dating for at least 4 years will give them the reassurance that the man is truly the one. For me, it is different. I see their attitude and their personality during the course of dating. And despite it being only 1year+, I already think that Baby is the man for me. We may have different mindsets, different culture, different family background, but one thing stays the same. He loves me and I love him, AND we both have the same dreams/plans (somewhat? LOL).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We even discussed in details about what kind of first car we would like to buy, what sort of houses do we find suitable for a just-married-couple etc. I would like to clarify that I have no intentions of being a tai tai (rich married lady who sits at home doing nothing but play Mahjong .. DAMN I CAN'T EVEN PLAY MAHJONG WTF!) because I have dreams for myself too! And I've also thought of my University path. If I can't make it this year, I will see how well I've progressed with my passion of baking/cooking. If that remains stagnant, I'm going back to take Alvls again. But if my passion is true, I will have to discuss with my parents about quitting school instead and focusing more on my passion. All of this are still going through pending and reconsiderations (of course LOL). So that's why after buying my Prada wallet, I've claimed my shopping-demon in a cage and have decided to save up for my future.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Having short-term pain is much better than suffering in the long-term ... So I am thinking of saving up together with Baby so that we can get our Condominium in about 1-2years time, getting my driving license this year along with him as well, and of course perhaps getting married in Singapore after settling all those above. Of course I'm not sure whether my dad can accept me not going to University as he is more of the traditional Chinese - graduating from Uni, getting a stable-income job and slowly climbing up the promotion ladder. I can tell that my dad is really successful in what he does, as now he has two houses (not those 3-room flats ah!) under his name (he is such a property guru) and now he is thinking of upgrading to either a private estate or a condominium. Of course he is still waiting for a slot to open because the last few times, my parents registered late and couldn't get the condo. :( It's all in God's will. But Baby is different from my dad (even though their personalities are the same LOL), and despite him not even going to Uni, he is still really successful in his area of work. So I guess I've to discuss everything with my parents step by step.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another plan that Baby shared with me was that on the 5th month, when we return to Nanjing for his friend's wedding, he would like to sign a marriage contract there along with me, stating that we have finally started our journey together as an official Nanjing couple! Hahahaha. Of course the official statement has to be done in Singapore for me to be considered as TRULY MARRIED. As for him, either country is alright I guess? Hahahaha, but of course I'm still deciding whether I should tell my parents this because they would be quite shocked/freaked out. LOL....... -.-" Like I've said, everything is still unconfirmed .............. Hahaha but it would be a good experience for me though :P&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;SO ANYWAYS, putting Baby and I aside, I've celebrated my grandmother's birthday yesterday! It was not much, we just had a simple dinner nearby as my grandfather is still recovering from his recent operation, thus he cannot walk very far. We didn't have any cake either because my grandfather could not eat that, and the whole family thought it was better not to have cake. We didn't want grandpa to feel left out because after the operation, he has been quite emotional about it. He thinks he is being a burden to the family when he is obviously not! But somehow he just keeps thinking that way ... He has contributed so much to this family, so this is the very least we could do for him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And my grandmother has been really supportive of him all the way. Even on her birthday, she made sure he was all well taken care of. The true power of love really does exist in this world, even after 50+years of marriage. Amazing isn't it? And to really commemorate their love, Baby and I bought this snow globe from Nanjing. In the snow globe, there are two swans - female and male (DUH!) and the male placed its neck over the female swan in a gentle posture, and the female reciprocate by tilting her head in the embrace of the male swan. It seemed like two simple actions, but the meaning was great. And the first thing that came to mind when I saw this, was my grandparents. Even though what they do for each other is not big bold actions, but those small actions speak louder of the love they have for each other. Plus, the snow globe has this beautiful function where you switch it on and there will be very beautiful color displays inside. So it is quite romantic and all :) heehee.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My post is rather long (SORRY!), but what I've said here (the upper 3/4 of the post) is true and I am really determined to stick through it. Mainly because I want to prove some of my aunties (from my father's side) that comparing results is really immature (and wrong!) and they can compare all they want, while I have already set up goals and dreams for my future. Certificates may get you a stable job, but it can't get you the happiness I have right now. So suck it up! I don't intend to let a piece of paper run my future, but of course I am not saying that education is not important. It is important for basics and for those who want a career for business, law, science, medicine etc... but what I'm doing has nothing to do with advanced education. Like who the fuck will ask me to calculate the integration of the volume of a fucking curve rotated around a fucking y-axis in a bakery/cafe?! Or ask me to write them a 3k word essay why Richard III was considered a fucking charismatic villain and yet his downfall was considered heroic etc... If that happens, I will slap the daylight out of them. Seriously.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I believe that success comes mainly from 90% learning from outside and 10% learning from textbooks. You can stick your head in your books throughout Uni and come out jobless or having a fixed stable job, or you can spend half the time on textbooks and another half on learning the outside world context. It's your choice, your life. As for mine, I have plans to follow through and I don't intend to stop it for anything else. Yes I know that many Uni graduates are successful with their jobs yadah yadah yadah, but those only consist of such a small percentage, and they probably spent 5years min to get their Masters/PHDs and whatnot just to qualify for a fixed-income job. I'm not that type of person and I don't think I can survive after graduating from University. Like Baby, he likes a challenge where his job allows him to earn a lot and not be fixed to a certain amount. Of course these jobs include risks but if he is willing to take that risk, being his girlfriend I have to support his ideals. So here's to me and Baby living our dreams! :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Toodles~&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4321255157550148694-946530988487405475?l=aristocratsempire.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aristocratsempire.blogspot.com/feeds/946530988487405475/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://aristocratsempire.blogspot.com/2012/01/commences.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4321255157550148694/posts/default/946530988487405475'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4321255157550148694/posts/default/946530988487405475'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aristocratsempire.blogspot.com/2012/01/commences.html' title='Commences~'/><author><name>Vanessa</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12177923736916376788</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-VBKHX1i-A6E/TaCWpOiOavI/AAAAAAAAAB0/LAwth6NMg4M/s220/55679_455530758112_522108112_5371428_7979926_o.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4321255157550148694.post-4471357397666429743</id><published>2012-01-10T13:21:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2012-01-10T13:22:37.836+08:00</updated><title type='text'>2012 Plans :)</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;img src="http://i1128.photobucket.com/albums/m493/halusatonaka/tumblr_ll25dn8w9o1qj6gx8o1_r1_500.png" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm finally back in SINGAPORE! *cues applause* Heehee :) My holiday has been cut short (was supposed to come back on the 15th of January) because after missing out so many events with my family, I thought I must not miss out this one. And this event is none other than my grandmother's birthday :) So anyways, I will post more about my grandmother's birthday after celebrating it! :D And Baby was super gracious about it. Even though the time he spent with his family was super short, he still agreed to come back early. But we will be back earlier than before! Normally we would visit his family every end of the year as I had to attend school. But now I'm no more schooling (waiting upon my As results), I can travel anywhere and anytime I want, of course before my Uni year starts :P So we are going back to Nanjing on the 5th month to attend his childhood/best friend's wedding! And as most of his friends are already getting married this year due to the incoming 2012-End-Of-The-World-Hocus-Pocus, he is the only one left unmarried and he says that his married years are being delayed thanks to me! LOL. GEE THANKS? As a result of being the only unmarried one among his group of friends, he has become the best man of his best friend's wedding! Hahaha I was supposed to be the bridesmaid, but I realized that it would be REALLY HARD as there will be a HUGE language barrier. Hahahaha, so they have to choose another girl to be the bridesmaid :) Of course the duration of us attending the wedding will also include visiting his family and relatives!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Besides going over to Nanjing on the 5th month, Baby and I will also be going to Thailand with a few of our good couple friends :) Raymond + Cheryl, ShiHui + her boyfriend and us! :D It's like a triple-dating-holiday! Hahahaha. So after Nanjing, we will return to Singapore for about one week before taking off to Thailand for good food and good shopping! :) And I'm soooo going to get fat again :( Sobs* But it will be an awesome holiday! :) In addition, we didn't get to go Japan last year according to our plans, because Baby didn't manage to apply for his visa :( Sadness. But we are thinking of going either Japan or UK this year with his parents. But everything is just in the process of planning and seeing how things turn out because of unforeseen circumstances. The only two trips that has been set and confirmed are the trips to Nanjing and Thailand :D Hooray!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyways, my trip to Nanjing was amazing ... I managed to finally come out (slightly) of my language barrier and could communicate with Baby's friends. Even though my Chinese-accent was something they were not accustomed to, they still managed to understand! Double Hooray! HAHAHAHA :) Baby also brought me to meet more of his friends and their wives. And they are all super nice people! It is quite amazing that they had managed to keep in touch even after so many years! Because most of his friends are his primary school friends and they stayed in the same class all the way to secondary school. And even after most of them graduated from University and got a stable job, they still continued keeping in touch with Baby who is all the way here in Singapore. They really are one tight bunch! :D Besides meeting up with his friends, I did lots of shopping! Like overloaded shopping ... I had to take out all my winter clothing and leave them at Baby's hometown, while packing all my new clothes in it... And guess what? My luggage weighed 5kg more than the usual one with all my winter clothing. AND, one piece of winter clothing is heavier than a normal casual piece, so you can really see how much I've shopped in Nanjing!!! And after unpacking my luggage and placing all my new clothes into my wardrobe, my clothes have been stacked to the ceiling of my wardrobe and my wardrobe is quite high; almost touching the ceiling of my room. So yes, I've much problems trying to close my wardrobe door. Baby didn't shop much but he bought new clothes for Chinese New Year! Hahah and he only shopped because his Secondary School English Teacher forced him to! Yes he even kept in contact with his English teacher because he left quite a huge impact on Baby. And his English teacher really likes to shop! Which was awesome because he introduced me to some of the more high-end shops in Nanjing :)&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;After shopping so much in Nanjing, I felt really really exhausted and I've practically squeezed out a lot of my shopping-juice which means that I'm not going to do much shopping in Singapore (naturally to Baby's delight!). Hahahaha :) In addition, I'm going to devote more of my time into baking/cooking, exercising/losing weight and working. I'm currently Baby's secretary, and I'm somehow going to be an English tuition teacher for his students ... which is quite LOL. Hahaha. The pay is good + I get commissions (according to him), so I guess it beats working in an office everyday! Even so, this won't be my permanent job since I'm hoping I could open a Cafe with my mother as it has been her long-time dream. Not only that, Baby has many connections which enables us to be able to open a Cafe with not much problems/difficulties. Of course this is something long-tern which my mother has to consider since she is still working as a teacher in some private school. So she told me to wait till the end of the first term before she can really put much thought into opening the Cafe :) In addition, Baby is also still working hand-in-hand with one of his most successful clients and I'm praying that the application of their work permit will be a success as this will definitely open many doors for Baby's career :) Being his secretary, I'm also helping out a bit in terms of translating and writing different emails etc, which is quite fun actually! Hahahaha.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;So well, that is most of what I've in store for this year 2012, which I hope will be a much smoother year compared to last year which was quite a huge ball of stress for me :( Toodles~!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;PS: My Prada bag has been customized and accessorized to look even better and less common like the other Prada bags :)&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4321255157550148694-4471357397666429743?l=aristocratsempire.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aristocratsempire.blogspot.com/feeds/4471357397666429743/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://aristocratsempire.blogspot.com/2012/01/2012-plans.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4321255157550148694/posts/default/4471357397666429743'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4321255157550148694/posts/default/4471357397666429743'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aristocratsempire.blogspot.com/2012/01/2012-plans.html' title='2012 Plans :)'/><author><name>Vanessa</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12177923736916376788</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-VBKHX1i-A6E/TaCWpOiOavI/AAAAAAAAAB0/LAwth6NMg4M/s220/55679_455530758112_522108112_5371428_7979926_o.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4321255157550148694.post-8393931912259003870</id><published>2012-01-02T02:20:00.001+08:00</published><updated>2012-01-02T14:40:01.468+08:00</updated><title type='text'>2012 Ouss!</title><content type='html'>Here's another shout-out from 南京: HAPPY NEW YEAR!! Yea I know it's a bit lag but I've had problems connecting my phone to the Internet... Melissa is probably far far away in South Korea enjoying the snow and freezing her ass off as well! I'm really glad we managed to talk to each other through Tumblr(lol how the hell did we manage that you say?) and its miraculously askbox function :P It turns out Melissa has been trying to contact me and I've been trying to enter her tumblr main-page to see what's happening.. But somehow China is really unfriendly so I was stuck at the dashboard without any ways of entering anybody's tumblr homepage.. Including mine! Lol wth. Thank goodness Melissa managed to see that I was on tumblr re-blogging random shit again and contacted me :) She will be in Korea for 1week plus and I'll be back in Singapore before her so I guess it's safe to say that I've already bought souvenirs for her, my family and the rest of my dearest friends too! :) of course I also do receive some "orders" from some of my friends as they know that things here in China are cheaper(with the exception of branded goods like Chanel, Prada, JuicyCouture etc) than those sold in Singapore.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I've had my share of insane shopping here but those shall be left aside as I'm here with the purpose of posting about the New Year! So it's tradition that everybody gets to make a new year's resolution in hopes that it would be fulfilled no matter how long it takes, but somehow those promises are always left brushed aside to a dusty corner. As for me, I just like to get into the good spirit of it all. So here is my list of 2012 resolutions!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;#01. Be a better girlfriend :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Baby has been a wonderful boyfriend ever since we met and it somehow struck me that he deserves more than just a girlfriend - he deserves an extremely GOOD girlfriend. One who understands him better, one whom he can share his happiness and sorrows with without the fear of being put down or judged negatively, one who gives him the utmost love and faith etc :) and I plan to make all this come true... Ever since I came back to his hometown, I'm seeing and hearing all his childhood/school friends getting married next year or so. And naturally their blissful emotions were passed down to us as we stared at each other's blank faces hoping to see a glimmer of hope for a future that has the both of us in it :) and we are still working on improving our relationship. This trip has also made me realize that he is one of the most important man in my life.. And that he and his family treat me so well I really feel like a pampered princess. So my dear Baby, if you are seeing this, I promise to be a more matured girlfriend without always having to fuss about minor issues :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;#02. Be a better daughter.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is another important factor of my life. Seriously, without my family, I don't think I would be so fortunate as of now. To have a father who pampers me so, giving me money whenever I ask for more to shop for things I want/need, without questioning my intent. And despite the stress he has been facing over my siblings and my education, he still finds the time to arrange wonderful holidays in which we get to relax and de-stress. I am under fortunate to have a caring mother who supports my decisions and always smile for me even in my most depressing moments. She also helps to convey kindness and soothing words from my father to my brothers and I, mainly because he is always working, to ensure that we knows our father cares. She has always been the mediator, the healer and the support to hold the family together tight and strong ;) I'm fortunate to have grandparents who always pray for the family and giving wise advices for us foolish youths in times of tribulation. They alone hold forces that keep our family pure and bonded together. They, too, set amazing daily examples in which we youths should follow in step, learning new morals every moment. Of course I am thankful for my siblings for always bringing down the house with their jokes and laughter that never fails to fill the house, enforcing the warmth of the household. In addition, to have siblings who understands your emotions and vice versa is a wonderful thing because I have siblings in whom I can confide in or just have a casual nonsensical blabber :) Therefore I've decided that I should not take my family for granted and be a better daughter in their lives.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;#03. Continue my passion for Cheer!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have not lost my passion for cheer and neither has Baby and Bob. Despite time being constraint, I'm still going to enjoy every training moment I have left with Bob before he goes away for NS - the hell on earth for all Singaporean Men. Hahaha :P Of course Baby still loves cheer as much as he did when he first started out, only he doesn't have the time to engage in such daily gyming sessions, since his work has been picking up ever since the last quarter of last year. Still, he is going to put aside the time for gyms so that he can perform better in trainings. As for me, I will do exactly the same. I'm going to conduct a strict regime of exercising/gyming and cheering for the next few months before my Alvl results are announced officially. Till then, I'll probably be hitting the gym/track more often than before. Something about working out makes me really excited and happy. No idea why, but yea I guess besides being a shopaholic, I'm also an trainaholic. Lol! I've no idea why people always have the misconception that female cheerleaders must be all skin and bones. I admire American cheerleaders because even the females gym every thrice a week along with the males. Only difference is that their regimes do not include such heavy weight-lifting but mostly focus on the abs and leg power to jump. So if you think female cheerleaders should just eat less and diet... You are wrong!!!!! The most important thing is the core!!!!!! No core, that person is not a real cheerleader. Just saying, no offense intended. Even if you think female cheerleaders have no need to gym.. You are dead wrong too!!!! They do need to gym to train their core.. No point just doing Pilates etc.. Even my grandmother can do Pilates... Lol! Oh right, and the next important thing is to get my flexibility right :) last year was such a close call for me being able to finally do a split till Alvls came and Baby told me its best not to stretch just in case I got a cramp in the middle of a paper etc. So I stopped and haven't stretched for a really long time! :( but of course having Baby by my side makes it all better because he has the experience of stretching people to maximize their flexibility(he has a lot of good testimonials! Haha) and he also knows how to maximize a person's potential. :) cheers for me!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;#04. Reach God-like in Cooking and Baking! :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It has been a well-known fact that true peranankans ladies are good cooks and bakers! Since young, they have been trained furiously by their mothers to cook like a world-class chef and thereby developed their senses to be in tune to cooking and baking. Thus my grandmother and mother are really awesome cooks and bakers. They can sense something is not right with just a whiff even if it tastes alright. They also cook by instinct, knowing that to throw into the pot to enhance its taste etc. the same goes for baking, with one look, they know whether the inside of a batter has been well baked or not. My grandfather and father are true living testimonies of how awesome their cooking is.. They used to be skinny, really bone-skinny until they got married ... Slowly their photo-albums tell a true tale of how their stomachs slowly got bigger, knowing that they have been constantly well-fed under their God-like batter. Unfortunately, being a girl of mixed culture, I was not brought up the traditional way. Since young, I was encouraged to read instead of baking.. I was encourage to learn abacus instead of cooking .. So I've absolutely no idea what the frag how to cook or bake. Unlike my elder brother who learns so fast under my mother's watchful eye. He reached a well high standard, in true recognition to be on par with my mother... He has become my mother's rival, waiting for the moment of the student surpassing the master ;( as for me, I'm missing out such fun! Thank goodness my mother still has it in her to pass on a few skills onto me as I took up a bit of baking before Alvls. And I whipped up a nice batch of brownies with her guidance... Thus when I return, I hope to be able to cook and bake without having anyone to guide me ;) and of course making something edible!! My plan is to read cooking/baking books and try to remember by heart the different condiments/spices that makes the taste different :) maybe if I get pro enough, I might be able to open a cafe alongside my elder brother and mother! Haha well my grandmother has stopped cooking for quite some time since my maid arrived, so let her just retire peacefully :D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;#05. Help Baby out with his work and strive towards success!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Baby has been really working hard before the holidays and with that, he has managed to meet a lot of successful clients :) with that he started setting money-earning goals for himself ... And it is really amazing he has met all of those goals so far. He has bought a Mont Blanc diamond pen for himself, Prada wallet, bag and money clip etc. And with the new year, he has set yet another goal for himself and being his girlfriend, supporting him alongside is also part of my duty! So I've decided that I should be entire supportive of what he does, thus am thinking of applying as his secretary.. I've noticed that sometimes when he becomes really busy, he will tend to forget about the slightest things. So he should totally need someone like me right!!!! Hahaha :) someone by his side making sure that everything goes according to plan :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well other than that, I can't really think of any other goals I want to make for myself.. And if I were to make too many, I might not be able to follow out. So as of now, these shall be my goals. But Plans sometimes deviate from the path you have planned out.. No need to fuss.. I believe that nothing will stay the same forever..

So far it has been ranging from 1-7degrees but after watching the news, they say the temperature may as well drop below the negative celsius within a few days. Good luck to me trying to stay warm.. I'm already freezing three-quarters my ass off already.. X.x&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Baby is also canceling the other trip because the temperature there is NEGATIVE 20degrees on a normal day. Wth right! :( so I'm staying in 南京 for three whole weeks! :) which entitles to more shopping for me. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Which brings me to another topic!! I've been really working my feet off walking here and there and shopping like mad. Within one day I've already spent a good sum of 800bux min (the most I've spent on was around 1kbux and that was solely on clothes!) and this went on for about 4days. And one of the shopping trips was meant to buy stuff for my family but Baby's mother insisted on paying for it.. And it was not exactly cheap :( I feel really bad.. And I'm hoping to find another way to repay her kindness because Baby says she won't accept me paying her back for it.&lt;br /&gt;They have a good range of shopping malls here in 南京 which have really nice international brands! Of course I don't buy from their local brands because I'm more of a person who rather gauges the price here and in Singapore to decide whether I should buy or not :) I'm still a smart shopper you know! :D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This also brings me to another topic.. Baby and I went to check out the Prada store at Hk airport and we realized that the bags there were slightly cheaper than the ones Baby bought from Uk! But their wallets are around the same price/slightly more expensive so we just skipped it. On the topic of Prada, I want to thank Ray and his sister-in-law for being a great help!! ;) it was super inconvenient to order our Prada items from Uk but Ray and his sis really really helped us a great deal! Thank you so much!!!! I've no idea how to repay their kindness and patience because getting stuff from overseas ain't an easy feat!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Within a few days the Prada items will be passed onto my elder brother for safe-keeping in Singapore ;) I trust that Joshua is careful enough not to loose any of the items!! :S haha.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Alright enough with all the shopping and splurging on items, I'm just here to update that I'm doing awesome here in 南京 because Baby's parents are really taking super good care of me once again! :) I'm also having a lot of fun just walking around, sight-seeing etc. sadly I won't be in Singapore to celebrate Christmas with my own family, and I miss them so much!!!! I've been emailing my mother with my new number in China to assure her that I'm doing A-ok!! :) today is also my maid's birthday and my mum told me the family bought her a cake to celebrate! Heehee.. Aunty Cheryl, I'm sorry for not being there to celebrate your birthday, but I just wanna wish you a Happy Birthday and many thanks for always keeping the house in order - neat and tidy. Without your help, chaos will be inevitable and I probably will have to sleep in ruble for the rest of my life. So thank you so much for putting in so much effort to take care of my entire family especially my grandparents when my parents are always busy at work! :) I love you and God Bless you! :D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Toodles~!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4321255157550148694-3313750997288767199?l=aristocratsempire.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aristocratsempire.blogspot.com/feeds/3313750997288767199/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://aristocratsempire.blogspot.com/2011/12/hello-from.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4321255157550148694/posts/default/3313750997288767199'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4321255157550148694/posts/default/3313750997288767199'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aristocratsempire.blogspot.com/2011/12/hello-from.html' title='Hello from 南京!!'/><author><name>Vanessa</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12177923736916376788</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-VBKHX1i-A6E/TaCWpOiOavI/AAAAAAAAAB0/LAwth6NMg4M/s220/55679_455530758112_522108112_5371428_7979926_o.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4321255157550148694.post-7201825851955521343</id><published>2011-12-16T17:44:00.001+08:00</published><updated>2011-12-16T17:44:35.560+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Woos :)</title><content type='html'>My Prada bag finally arrived in Singapore thanks to awesome great friends!! :) heehee. Baby's Prada wallet has also arrived and we are all super excited to go back to Singapore to check out our stuff.. But of course I'm still anticipating visiting his family in Nanjing :D our items are also in excellent hands so I guess there is nothing to worry about! Heehee btw, I'm having an awesome blast here in HongKong! Great food, great shopping districts and the best part was when my family chiong two theme parks within two consecutive days! :) DisneyLand on one day and OceanPark on the next.. My family are super nuts over theme parks.. Anyways just came back from another day of shopping :) Baby and I went to so many shops today from branded shops like Lv to small local shopping malls here and there :) and of course having a huge H&amp;M here in hk works well to my advantage as I bought hell lots of clothes from there :) Wooos~ but I'm kind of shocked as to why Hk doesn't seem to have many Prada/Chanel shops lying about.. They have lots of Lv, Coach and Miumiu outlets ... :( sad.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That's all for my short post today! And guess what? The next few days in Hk are also all dedicated to shopping (according to my parents) and I'm loving it here so far with the exception of not understanding a single word which the locals speak in and their somewhat rough attitude.. :P other than that, I love the hotel I'm staying at and of course the shopping doesn't get any better!! :) toodles~&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4321255157550148694-7201825851955521343?l=aristocratsempire.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aristocratsempire.blogspot.com/feeds/7201825851955521343/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://aristocratsempire.blogspot.com/2011/12/woos.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4321255157550148694/posts/default/7201825851955521343'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4321255157550148694/posts/default/7201825851955521343'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aristocratsempire.blogspot.com/2011/12/woos.html' title='Woos :)'/><author><name>Vanessa</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12177923736916376788</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-VBKHX1i-A6E/TaCWpOiOavI/AAAAAAAAAB0/LAwth6NMg4M/s220/55679_455530758112_522108112_5371428_7979926_o.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4321255157550148694.post-1886490577273950710</id><published>2011-12-13T00:22:00.001+08:00</published><updated>2011-12-13T00:22:33.199+08:00</updated><title type='text'>My Trip Commences :)</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;img src="http://i1128.photobucket.com/albums/m493/halusatonaka/tumblr_lvhql6hm881qelxrao1_500.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;" Everybody has a dark passenger, only that some people hasn't realized it yet ..."&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And I've finally, officially, miraculously, amazingly, finished packing my luggage!! :) Can you believe it?! Hahahaha :) Well it was also due to Baby's help that I could squeeze both our clothes into our newly-bought luggage :D We even have another luggage bag especially for shoes! Well, I don't want to wear the same pair every single day! Lol :P And I especially bought (actually it was more of my sweet adorable wonderful amazing Baby buying it for me LOL) a new pair of boots yesterday to match one of my outfits. Hahahaha I'm such a shopaholic :P&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My two brothers have also finished packing, and my elder brother is somehow at ease even though he just started packing, and he even has the time to play his Xbox 360 with no worries about missing out some essentials etc :( I'm stumped. And I thought he was the one with the OCD personality/perfectionism.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As for my younger brother, he went to Bugis with Baby to cut hair. And now the both of them has somewhat the same hairstyle. Hahahaha but I have to say they both look GOOD! :D Baby is even teaching my younger brother how to style/gel hair etc. Such a good mentor unlike my elder brother who only cares about clubbing hahaha :P Awww, but we all still love him :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On another note, Baby's friend also graciously bought a pair of couple plushies for both Baby and I! AND THEY ARE SUPER ADORABLE I TELL YOU! I quickly snapped pictures of it with Baby along. Hahahah :P&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;img height="334" src="http://i1128.photobucket.com/albums/m493/halusatonaka/146e7fb0.jpg?t=1323703124" width="448" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So cute right?? :) And it's(the plushies) almost life-size!!! :P&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img height="334" src="http://i1128.photobucket.com/albums/m493/halusatonaka/cbc37131.jpg" width="448" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Baby trying to look cool with the plushies :P&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Too bad I can't bring them along with me on the trip because they are just too big to handle! :P&lt;br /&gt;Another issue I've faced is which bag to bring along as a hand-carrier. So I was debating with my Gucci or Chanel bag ... The Gucci tote was an open tote so it was kind of dangerous as anybody could just reach in and snatch my stuff overseas. And my Chanel tote is just too small to put anything inside (it was more of a dinner purse) Hahaha. So yea. In the end, both Baby and I agreed that bringing my Paul's Boutique bag was the best choice. So tadah~ Hahahaha.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So my family is leaving at 2pm tomorrow and my family will be back on the 18th of December, while Baby and I are taking our own little trip until 15th January as I've been stating all over my blog :) It will definitely be a real treat for me after so many months of studying for Alevels. Puuuiiii. Hahahaha :P One thing for sure is that I'm going to come back and start working hard on Cheer! Training my abs, leg strength, partner stunts and definitely flexibility :) Until then, Baby and I are just going to enjoy ourselves over there :) That's all!&lt;br /&gt;Toodles~ And wish me a safe and enjoyable trip! :D&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4321255157550148694-1886490577273950710?l=aristocratsempire.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aristocratsempire.blogspot.com/feeds/1886490577273950710/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://aristocratsempire.blogspot.com/2011/12/my-trip-commences.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4321255157550148694/posts/default/1886490577273950710'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4321255157550148694/posts/default/1886490577273950710'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aristocratsempire.blogspot.com/2011/12/my-trip-commences.html' title='My Trip Commences :)'/><author><name>Vanessa</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12177923736916376788</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-VBKHX1i-A6E/TaCWpOiOavI/AAAAAAAAAB0/LAwth6NMg4M/s220/55679_455530758112_522108112_5371428_7979926_o.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4321255157550148694.post-1657713952864377779</id><published>2011-12-12T02:44:00.001+08:00</published><updated>2011-12-12T23:13:28.920+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Bob Finally Flies :)</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;img src="http://i1128.photobucket.com/albums/m493/halusatonaka/tumblr_lvjp1w7LxB1qdnnzbo1_400.gif" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;" Everybody needs friends, even the social outcasts. "&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This post is all about my good buddy/sistah/bimbo BOB :) Some of you may know him as Zongda, but most of us just call him BOB. How does he get this weird name you ask? Well it all started with our school hosting a house cheerleading competition and Melissa being our beloved Lynx Captain was super enthusiastic and really hyper most of the time, which really helped every one of us feel more sociable and that was how Melissa and I got to know Zongda. And Melissa with her usual jokes and whatnot, simply gave a comment that Zongda doesn't look like he should be called Zongda, he should be called "Bob" and all of us burst out laughing. From there, his name slowly became a huge hit within our cheer group and slowly it hit his classmates and even the people from POS!(another cheerleading event both Bob and I took part in together) So yea, he is pretty much famous with the 'Bob' name :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So anyways, we had dinner together after eons of not meeting each other for training, meals and whatnot :P As usual here are some pictures! :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;img height="326" src="http://a6.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc7/s720x720/386739_10150606221155830_649245829_11812747_1912320944_n.jpg" width="493" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We ate dinner at Popeyes! :) So long since I've eaten there, oh gosh, the mash potato was just soooooooooooooooo heavenly *drools* hahaha :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img height="326" src="http://a8.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/s720x720/392344_10150606221535830_649245829_11812750_287108218_n.jpg" width="493" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Baby helping us snatch a peekture but he n00bishly left the flash on :O&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img height="326" src="http://a6.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/s720x720/384011_10150606221890830_649245829_11812753_294125781_n.jpg" width="493" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This peekture was meant to be a joke by Baby .. he bent the fork to make it look like some middle finger and I'm just wth man..

Of course she was not the only one, she participated along with Kosmos :) As parents, we went down to Esplanade to support our dearest daughter :) Kosmos started their warm up, stretching and dry-run around 5pm while Baby was spotting, and I was the photographer!

YAY I'm so proud of them (and myself too for snapping this amazing shot haha!) :D:D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img height="493" src="http://a3.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/388005_10150599650815830_649245829_11794266_73857731_n.jpg" width="326" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here is one of the stronger bases who almost joined Gusto. Such a waste because he could learn so much! But his determination is there and you can totally see his muscles bulging out LOL :) He has really high expectations of himself and I'm sure he will be able to meet them! Jiayous :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img height="493" src="http://a3.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/388939_10150599651870830_649245829_11794272_1884444691_n.jpg" width="326" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hanxian (a super unglam guy) with Vv doing single extension :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Talking about Hanxian brings me to another topic. He is truly one unglam (but funny!) guy! And here is a super funny shot I took of him! :D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;img height="326" src="http://a3.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc7/392334_10150599642225830_649245829_11794218_1061327990_n.jpg" width="493" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;HAHA unglam right! Paiseh my camera(purposely) focused on the background instead of his face. Heehee :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;And something quite funny happened too. While they were filming the performance, two male Singaporean bloggers came up to Baby and I and asked some questions about Kosmos and us. They asked why we were not performing and Baby jokingly said we were retired... Hahaha and he did ask us the age range etc. So I told him that the youngest would be around Vivian's age and the oldest was Jeremy. We joked around a bit and shared a bit of light on Kosmos and how it was founded etc :) It felt awesome to be interviewed. HAHAHA but Jeremy did not find it amusing because he was interviewed by a host in front of a camera and he was practically super nervous. For Baby and I, we were interviewed behind camera, so we didn't have to worry about saying anything stupid or doing some unglam action etc :P&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All in all, it was a super awesome day! :) Dennis and Charmaine came and joined us for dinner after the performance and we just sat around talking, crapping, and laughing. It felt nice to fellowship with them after so many months of not training with them. Even though some things changed quite a bit while Baby and I were gone, but I somehow rekindled my love for Cheerleading and after Baby and I come back from our trip around 12th-15th January 2012, we are going to do some hardcore training for Cheer :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Until then, we are now just relaxing, taking a break and chilling out before the real shit comes about :P Hahaha. And that is all for my post today~&lt;br /&gt;Toodles&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;PS: Before I officially sign off, there is this super talented guy who did an amazing cover of Dexter theme song :) Here is the link to youtube! &lt;a href="http://youtu.be/9pFPJ5X-854"&gt;DEXTER&lt;/a&gt; So do go and watch it if you have the time!

And Baby was behind me supporting me all the way. Of course we took pictures of it because I'm quite happy with the purchase, and this is just a gift of appreciation for her - for those who didn't know, she took very good care of me during my last visit to China and she made sure that all my needs were met. Knowing that I'm a super picky eater and a person of very difficult tastes, she went through great lengths to assure that I had a comfortable stay in Nanjing. And I really felt at home with her around, so this is something which to repay her kindness, generosity and selfless attitude when taking care of such a difficult person like me :) Somehow she reminds me of my own mother! One who doesn't complain, one who puts in great effort to raise a family, and one who really puts her needs aside to satisfy others. When we left Nanjing last year, I was crying like crazy when she and Baby's father sent us off at the airport. Baby was trying his best to hold back his tears while I was crying like some lunatic girl, and even when I'm thousand feet above ground, I was still crying. LOL. Only when I saw my own mother then I finally felt calm inside. It would be quite a blast if both Baby and my mother met face to face. Hahaha, I bet they would bond like sisters (if you were to put aside the factor of encountering a language barrier LOL)!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But I felt bad for not buying anything for my mother, so Baby and I made a pact to buy something nice for 'alternate mothers' every year. For example, this year I bought something for his mother, so next year the both of us would work together and buy something on par for my mother. Then the following year would be dedicated to Baby's mother and so on and so forth. Then I brought up the issue about our fathers - shouldn't we buy something for our fathers too? Baby laughed and said that women are more sensitive about receiving presents than men, so there is no need to buy anything for them. LOL. So mean right? But I kind of agree. Hahaha, my dad is the kind of guy who doesn't see a need to celebrate his own birthday! And even if we were to buy presents for him, he would thank us, but he would say that there is no need to use our money to buy him gifts. I guess he wants us to save instead of spending on him :P Still, I thank him for earning and sacrificing so much for my mother and the family :) Without him, there won't be shelter over our heads, no food on the table, and no money to go shopping (T.T) and most importantly no mentor to teach us the values of life. So all in all, I thank both my parents for being awesome daddy and mummy! :D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyways, I'm side-tracking ... LOL. Here are the pictures of the crystal. Pardon the bad photo-taking, because the crystal was like reflecting damn a lot of light, so practically it looks quite blur on most of the pictures :P Which brings me to another funny story. At the store, when the salesgirl asked us to check for any uneven areas on the crystal, Baby and I were like blinded by the glare of the crystal. IT WAS FREAKING SHINY - proves the awesome workmanship of Swarovski crystals :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;img height="326" src="http://a7.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/387835_10150599779615830_649245829_11794645_55056204_n.jpg" width="493" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The contrast between the red ribbon and the blue bag is quite cute actually :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img height="326" src="http://a6.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc7/390433_10150599780400830_649245829_11794649_2014896616_n.jpg" width="493" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here is the box! Pardon my luggage in the background, I couldn't find a nicer place to put the box on LOL :P&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img height="326" src="http://a3.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc7/384153_10150599781100830_649245829_11794653_1462109899_n.jpg" width="493" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And here is the rose crystal! It may seem somewhat small here but it's more like medium-sized. LOL. I love how the rose is combined with the leaves in the background, just makes it ever more realistic :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img height="326" src="http://a2.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/377282_10150599781295830_649245829_11794654_1352252934_n.jpg" width="493" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And here is another angle-shot of it :) Even the padding inside the box is shiny! Omg :P&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;I love Swarovski, even my mother loves it. So I guess maybe her gift next year would be Swarovski as well? Thinking of getting her jewelry, but definitely not from Tiffany&amp;Co, because I don't really like their selections(with a few exceptions) or maybe I'm more biased towards Swarovski. Haha :P&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That's all for this post :) My next post would be about CHEER! But this time I'm not involved in it ... but it still rocks cause my darling daughter is in it! :D Hahahaha :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Toodles~&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4321255157550148694-6130509644468259440?l=aristocratsempire.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aristocratsempire.blogspot.com/feeds/6130509644468259440/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://aristocratsempire.blogspot.com/2011/12/glimmering-glitter.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4321255157550148694/posts/default/6130509644468259440'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4321255157550148694/posts/default/6130509644468259440'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aristocratsempire.blogspot.com/2011/12/glimmering-glitter.html' title='Glimmering Glitter'/><author><name>Vanessa</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12177923736916376788</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-VBKHX1i-A6E/TaCWpOiOavI/AAAAAAAAAB0/LAwth6NMg4M/s220/55679_455530758112_522108112_5371428_7979926_o.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4321255157550148694.post-457462068254655100</id><published>2011-12-08T14:02:00.001+08:00</published><updated>2011-12-12T23:13:58.412+08:00</updated><title type='text'>No Time!</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;img src="http://i1128.photobucket.com/albums/m493/halusatonaka/tumblr_lro39q2HpI1r0jds7o1_500.jpg"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And I finally dyed my hair :) I've been dragging it since Alevels ended and I finally got the time to dye my hair! Yay!! :) Heehee. This time I tried Marshmellow Brown and it's a much lighter brown color compared to my previous color which was Apricot Brown. I was thinking of curling my hair at the ends again, but besides me being bankrupt, I think the ends of my hair is pretty much damaged... LOL. I guess once I return to Singapore which is about somewhere around 15th January(latest), I'm going to arrange a few hair-treatment appointments and give myself a treat :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As of today, I think I'm most probably going to pack my luggage/decide what to bring etc. Staying overseas for about a month sure takes a lot of consideration - like what clothes to wear (can't exactly wear the same few outfits throughout one month .. that is suicide!), what funbies to bring so that I can kill boredom on the plane/trian, whether I should bring my adorable Nova (plushie) along again etc .. and of course, I will be sharing luggage with my boyfriend, so I must make sure that I don't exactly take up 90% of the storage space. Hahahahaha :P&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yesterday my boyfriend even brought out our PSPs (and I still can't believe I spent $500 on a PSP, FARK!), so that I can lend my younger brother for the trip. Other than that, I guess I still haven't really thought of what to bring along for one whole month :( Plus, the past few days, my boyfriend and I have been shopping for mostly the trip - HelloKitty cosmetic bag, winter socks, thermal wear, and even a frigging luggage! And I still haven't got my winter cap, winter boots etc. At least Baby finaly got his new Porsche spectacles which is super sleek and nice, but really expensive! D: BUT it looks good, so what the hell! Hahaha :) Sadly with time running out, I'm quite scared I might not have enough time to finish packing :( Damnnn. Btw, I also finally bought the Swarovski crystal for his mother. It's in the shape of a rose, and it's super chio and sparkly. When the salesgirl told us to check our item for any scratches etc, I had a pretty hard time scrutinizing it because my eyes hurt like hell with it sparkling like mad. Hahaha. I hope she likes it! :) And if I have the time to take it out carefully from its box, I could snap a picture for the blog~ Heehee :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyways, today I went to get my VISA done since I'm away from Singapore for about a month. And the entire thing costs extra as I placed it under express .. if not it would take them about 4 working days (excluding weekends) to get it done and by the time that is done, I'm already gone! And express has (sort of) always been my number one choice, because I hate waiting. Seriously.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well that concludes my day overall, cause the rest of the day I'm probably going to pack my luggage and grab a quick game on Gears of War 3. Seriously to all those who have an xbox 360 console, go and get this game! It's freaking awesome :) But mind the gory, violence and bad language for all those conscious people. Other than that, this game is freaking kick-ass - not just the gameplay, but the storyline, characters development and the graphics are all SUPER AWESOME :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Toodles~ :)&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4321255157550148694-457462068254655100?l=aristocratsempire.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aristocratsempire.blogspot.com/feeds/457462068254655100/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://aristocratsempire.blogspot.com/2011/12/no-time.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4321255157550148694/posts/default/457462068254655100'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4321255157550148694/posts/default/457462068254655100'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aristocratsempire.blogspot.com/2011/12/no-time.html' title='No Time!'/><author><name>Vanessa</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12177923736916376788</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-VBKHX1i-A6E/TaCWpOiOavI/AAAAAAAAAB0/LAwth6NMg4M/s220/55679_455530758112_522108112_5371428_7979926_o.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4321255157550148694.post-8163383848988450538</id><published>2011-12-07T18:20:00.001+08:00</published><updated>2011-12-07T18:56:55.608+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Mother's Love :)</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;img height="326" src="http://a6.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/384087_10150591805485830_649245829_11774066_1498093433_n.jpg" width="493" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;" A mother's love is to be appreciated ... "&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I've been delaying this post for quite some time, because I was waiting for Baby to upload the pictures of the event from the dslr onto his Mac. And finally we did :)&lt;br /&gt;That day was a super special day because it was my mother's birthday. She had put in so much blood and effort in organizing other people's birthdays that hers was always the least glamorous one. So this time, my siblings and I decided to do it the other way round. Joshua especially called in a professional and pretty chef to help him out with the cooking, while he baked a cake for my mother (cue picture on top!) That pretty, cheerful, really friendly chef is none other than Kathe :) A good friend of both Joshua and Chen Cheng. I'm really thankful for her for cooking such a delicious meal in my place (since I can't exactly cook nice food) on my mother's birthday. She really outdid herself, preparing a HUGE feast for the family! And she didn't stay for the cake :( So a HUGE, MULTIPLE THANKS to KATHE!! :D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Joshua placed me in charge of buying a present for my dearest mother, so I went shopping with Baby on the day before. Bought a whole set - dress, accessories etc from Topshop :) Joel was also in charge of the present, but since he doesn't know much about shopping for girls, I just told him to pay half for it. HAHAHA :P&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On the day itself, Joshua planned for it to be a surprise for my mother, but she came home from work early and we were the ones shocked instead. She was really touched by our sincerity and she locked herself in her room, pretending she doesn't know while Joshua and Kathe finished cooking/baking. It was quite funny, but everything was set and done by the evening.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;img height="326" src="http://a7.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/391868_10150591802255830_649245829_11774042_1612306824_n.jpg" width="493" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here is my mother preparing the table for dinner! Can you see how much they prepared for us? It is amazing :) Heehee. Well, the pizza was ordered outside because we were afraid that there was not enough food for everyone ... But in the end we were proven wrong, because we seriously had lots of left-overs left which was eaten over about 3 days hahaha :P&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img height="326" src="http://a7.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/393240_10150591803930830_649245829_11774056_2058075653_n.jpg" width="493" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another angle of the awesome feast~ :) There is Japanese curry, cold soba, pizza, Campbell soup, chawamushi ... *drools* heehee :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img height="326" src="http://a2.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/388295_10150591806145830_649245829_11774070_1310256671_n.jpg" width="493" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And this is the super awesome delicious cheesecake coated with molten chocolate with strawberries and coloring sprinkles on it :) In case you didn't know, it was baked in the shape of a HEART!!

Aunty has always been the one who does the most work but always remain 'backstage', so now I'm thanking her for always being so hardworking in everything she does without complaining ... and the best part is that she does it with a smile! I will always hear her humming a tune while working so I just want to give her kudos for being the most important person who 'runs the show'. Without her, not one event will run well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img height="326" src="http://a5.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc7/386543_10150591823580830_649245829_11774150_1579201798_n.jpg" width="493" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Baby insisted taking a picture with my mother :) Heehee.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;I really enjoyed that day because it was one of those days where most of my family could congregate together and socialize over a meal - fellowshipping, laughing at each other's jokes and just being happy. I know most of the dinner conversation revolved around my siblings and I making fun of one another and my mother + grandmother piled on by stating embarrassing things we did when we were kids , all in front of Kathe. Hahaha so I guess she must think my family is filled with clowns and bad jokers haha :P My mother really loved the present but she thinks she is too fat to look nice in it, but she is just thinking too much. Seriously. Haha :P All in all, that day was to commemorate another wonderful year and how much effort my mother has put into raising this family :) It was a day where she could finally have a good awesome home-cooked dinner (thanks to Joshua and Kathe!) and indulge in a simple fellowship with her family :D It really beats celebrating outside in a fancy restaurant where we cannot exactly be ourselves, with the need of having to watch our behavior most of the time in front of a crowd .. Yes my family is filled with unglamorous people with very loud character! HAHAHAHA :P&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dear Mummy, thank you for always being there to support us, raising us from young till now. Even though we have disappointed you many times, you still didn't give up on us, believing that we would prevail in the end. You were always the one with words of encouragement and the strong shoulder in which we could cry on no matter what happened. Because of that, you realized that even in your weakest hour, you force yourself to have a strong front just so that we would not worry about you. Thank you so much for many years of tolerating our nonsense and bad attitude, scolding us and helping to mould our character to be a better person. Thank you for also having the utmost faith in us that we will excel in the future, as you constantly nurture our capabilities. God Bless you for being such a wonderful mother and I really thank God for giving me a mother in whom I can count on for advice, encouragement and support. Thank you so much and we all love you deeply from our hearts.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Love,&lt;br /&gt;Your family :)&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4321255157550148694-8163383848988450538?l=aristocratsempire.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aristocratsempire.blogspot.com/feeds/8163383848988450538/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://aristocratsempire.blogspot.com/2011/12/mothers-love.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4321255157550148694/posts/default/8163383848988450538'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4321255157550148694/posts/default/8163383848988450538'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aristocratsempire.blogspot.com/2011/12/mothers-love.html' title='Mother&apos;s Love :)'/><author><name>Vanessa</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12177923736916376788</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-VBKHX1i-A6E/TaCWpOiOavI/AAAAAAAAAB0/LAwth6NMg4M/s220/55679_455530758112_522108112_5371428_7979926_o.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4321255157550148694.post-8180037997463022936</id><published>2011-12-06T23:03:00.001+08:00</published><updated>2011-12-07T00:40:49.676+08:00</updated><title type='text'>女儿生日</title><content type='html'>Like I've said in my previous post, this evening was going to be awesome! Sadly, Bob was unable to join in on the fun because he had something important to attend to ... Winks*winks* :) So anyways, Rayray, Baby and I went hit the gym(plus SPA!) till 1pm, where Rayray went to meet his girlfriend for lunch first while Baby and I went about to do our own stuff.&lt;br /&gt;It has been eons since I last ate the banmian there.. OMG, it still tastes oh-so-wonderful!! The memory sure does linger when one is in love~ Hahahahaha :P After lunch, Baby and I went to NUH to collect something and the embarrassing thing was we almost got lost in there. LOL. What a joke :P Then we headed off to Clarke Quay to meet up with the rest. Baby and I arrived first so we headed to Billy Bombers to just sit there and relax our feet. Rayray and his girlfriend - Cheryl, arrived next. So we sat around the table talking and waiting for our birthday girl. Hahahaha.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Vivian arrived not long after, and we started ordering our food, and I tell you the good thing about Billy Bombers is that their servings are like SUPER HUGE! Raymond and Cheryl had to share one set, Baby and I shared another set and the remaining of Vivian's share was split among Raymond and Baby. That is just how big their portions are - which is a good thing too, good value for money! Haha :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;img height="326" src="http://a3.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/384691_10150591726810830_649245829_11773756_502865178_n.jpg" width="493" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img height="326" src="http://a5.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/393480_10150591727080830_649245829_11773757_186520314_n.jpg" width="493" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img height="326" src="http://a7.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/377854_10150591728130830_649245829_11773763_170711570_n.jpg" width="493" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img height="326" src="http://a6.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/375552_10150591728465830_649245829_11773764_1563198315_n.jpg" width="493" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img height="326" src="http://a6.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/388353_10150591729265830_649245829_11773770_459836589_n.jpg" width="493" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rayray and Cheryl :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img height="326" src="http://a4.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc7/387662_10150591729610830_649245829_11773771_809547368_n.jpg" width="493" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img height="326" src="http://a3.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/384329_10150591730700830_649245829_11773775_1949278963_n.jpg" width="493" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It does look like snowing doesn't it?

Sadly after a few shots, the security guard chased us away because it was 'too dangerous' in his eyes, and so we went to do the stunts somewhere away from the security guard and he can't do nuts about it! Hahahaha :P&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Baby, Rayray and Vivian also tried out the G-MAX ride situated near Central and Cheryl and I pretty had enough excitement just from watching them turn and twist about in the air. Rayray was the one who shouted the loudest, while Vivian was alright with it because being a flyer, I guess she is pretty much used to being tossed about! Hahahaha. And Rayray reached a final conclusion that he can never be a flyer because it was too heart-pounding for him to handle :P Hahaha but overall it was still quite funny because Cheryl and I could see their reactions throughout the entire ride as they had a camera fixed inside the ride. And their reactions were priceless (extremely). Hahaha :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After G-MAX, we all took a romantic stroll to the Merlion where we did more stunts and Cheryl did her very first partner-stunt with Rayray! :D (cue picture on top!) And after a few more stunts etc, we decided to head home :) Today was really a great day :) Got to celebrate my daughter's birthday along with good friends with a huge feast (+fondue some more!!), watched them scream their hearts out, had a nice slow stroll along one of the most romantic streets, and did stunts with them. Even though my feet hurt really badly (I don't know how Cheryl does it but she practically walked throughout the entire journey with HEELS!!! I would have died even before reaching the Merlion .. LOL) I still had tons of fun this evening :) Nothing beats a good relaxing day with good friends with good company! And last but not the very least - HAPPY (BELATED) BIRTHDAY TO MY DARLING DAUGHTER VIVIAN! Daddy and I will always love you and support you all the way, through Cheer, Dance, School etc :) JIAYOUS! :D&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4321255157550148694-8180037997463022936?l=aristocratsempire.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aristocratsempire.blogspot.com/feeds/8180037997463022936/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://aristocratsempire.blogspot.com/2011/12/blog-post.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4321255157550148694/posts/default/8180037997463022936'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4321255157550148694/posts/default/8180037997463022936'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aristocratsempire.blogspot.com/2011/12/blog-post.html' title='女儿生日'/><author><name>Vanessa</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12177923736916376788</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-VBKHX1i-A6E/TaCWpOiOavI/AAAAAAAAAB0/LAwth6NMg4M/s220/55679_455530758112_522108112_5371428_7979926_o.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4321255157550148694.post-7014561267343948312</id><published>2011-12-06T10:59:00.001+08:00</published><updated>2011-12-06T15:47:50.335+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Gym!</title><content type='html'>Baby's new Mac finally reached his hands once again, and I'm dying to snatch it away from him and upload the previous dslr photos I snapped .. And I'm a person who pretty much prefers my posts to be accompanied by pictures unless I'm too bored to snap them etc. Lol! Then again I also can't exactly find the time to do so.. Lol!! And I'm quite lazy to edit/crop the pictures.. So I should do those on a lazy day. Hahaha as of now, I'm heading to Singapore Poly to gym with Baby and Rayray.. After gym, I'm not sure what Baby has in planned, but I know my evenings will be jam-packed with awesome-ness!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another side note: I tried out Face-Time with Melissa and it was super hilarious! That girl kept squirming around the camera in her new prom dress!(one which she looks super glamorous in) And I've no idea why she says that the dresses make her look fat when obviously she isn't!!!!! Then she showed me her new cat! Well not exactly new cause she bought it a few months ago. Hahaha but it was super adorable! And Muffin was its name oh! :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyways that's all for now!

And after stumbling across a certain somebody profile (her name shall not be revealed for privacy issues, but my true friends will know who this bitch I'm talking about is hahahahaha), it just hit me how much I hated facebook again - all the backstabbing, all the know-it-all attitude etc. What a prick! To think I was once good friends with her, it just makes me shiver so. Let's just call her the Bitch.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I know I've said this before, but somehow all her profile pictures only consist of one particular stance and that is the "tilt my head in a nice angle + make up + smile" position. Seriously, you just go to her album of profile pictures and click through her entire album .. her head is exactly in the same spot, same facial expression, just different background. It looks like someone just crop different backgrounds inside. Hahahahaha what a joke :P (seriously, I've never failed to laugh my ass off) WAIT!!! I have a few friends who also has this same habit of constantly having the 'same' profile picture, but at least they don't look so FAKE! And they are super nice people who really has amazing looks, that even without makeup, they look oh-so-fabulous! :)&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The thing is I don't get with fake bitches like her is that she doesn't show all the other pictures, other people take of her ... She only posts the pictures she take of herself .. why is that so? Got something to hide? Or is she just soooo afraid that other people will take note of her ugly, non-photogenic-side of her? Sad, but true.&lt;br&gt;Plus all her wall posts are so demeaning and offensive .. Sure, you are a young teenage girl who is filled with so much angst that you need the whole world to know how deep you sound and feel. But seriously I think she overdoes it. I mean it is just a pathetic cry for attention .. goodness gracious me! :P AND PLEASE EXPAND YOUR VOCABULARY! She keeps utilizing the same phrase over and over again to describe somebody. I mean woah, get a dictionary/thesaurus for crying out loud! Yet another futile attempt to sound all-knowing. Way to go bitch! It's like when I first started using Facebook around 5 years old, it was an awesome site which I loved to use! Getting in touch with old friends and classmates, or meeting new friends through various games .. it was a fantastic website which I gave lots of kudos to the maker. But now, it just seems like a platform for bitches to badmouth their 'friends', scold their nemesis or just be a BITCH on it. What has facebook become? This is one of the reasons why I deactivated my facebook account ... to prevent such effed-up shit from affecting or changing me to another person.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Don't get me wrong ... I'm not the only one who thinks of her like this. I have a few mutual friends who knows her and also thinks she is just a stuck-up-attention-seeking-bitch. (Or if you 9gag a lot, you will just call her an attention-whore, crude as it may sound, but so fitting of this scenario) My friends and I used to be good friends with her, but slowly we find out that she really craves for attention, so we just started to ignore her, we did bitched about her for a few good months, then we stopped because we realized that an attention-whore has always the same routine, it is just BORING. And it is not just her, there are tons of bitches out there on Facebook and sadly, I know them as well. Funny thing is that they didn't use to be like this, then they changed for the worse. Oh good Lord, how embarrassing to even acknowledge them as acquaintances. Thank goodness I have many more magnificent friends who aren't like that (THANK GOD!) if not my life would be a hell on earth... Seriously.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;And of course, an attention-whore would have tons and tons of flings. Amazing how she is unable to keep a real relationship for long. I know it is really cruel of my friends and I, but we would always play a game whenever she got a new boyfriend ... "How Long Does it Last?" We would take bets, not exceeding $100, on how long she would last. Winner takes all! :) But seriously, I've seen so many guys 'leave' her facebook relationship status within a day .. like wooosh, and he is out of her life. I don't want to say much about who is right and who is wrong ... but for a girl not being able to keep a relationship just says a lot about her character. Once again, don't get me wrong, I've (girl)friends who has many failed relationships, but I see that they all hold a genuine concern to keep their relationship intact that they would call me or sms me and my other galfriends on opinions how to make their boyfriends love them more. What they do is really touching and I really really admire their efforts :) Jiayous to all my galfriends fighting out there! :D Love you all.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Thinking back now, I wished I never met her actually. Thus, I've erased all contacts with her (and people like her), deactivating my facebook account after unlocking my OvenBreak goodies (LOL), deleting her number from my handphone, and of course my friends and I agreed not to invite her out for any of our outings. Not to sound mean, but she can go and mingle with the rest of her type for all I care - birds of a feather flock together. They can go ahead and bitch about each other, backstab each other, curse and throw insincere thoughts about one another ... My group and I don't like such vulgar situations, we prefer a more peaceful approach. So go ahead and say I'm mean or whatever, because my life can do SO MUCH better without the likes of her in it - something my friends and I all agree upon.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Trust me, I'm not bitching about her, if I were bitching about her, I would probably post more bad points about her character and throw random vulgarities at her, but I'm not bitching about her. SO THERE! Hahaha :)&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Oh wells, I'm signing off to play Gears of War right now :) Heehee, yes I've finished watching Dexter till the most recent episode .. and now Dexter has become one of the shows on the waiting-list, along with CSI, Family Guy, American Dad, Simpsons, How I Met Your Mother, The Big Bang Theory and Sherlock. :(&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Toodles~&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4321255157550148694-2330909577989760330?l=aristocratsempire.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aristocratsempire.blogspot.com/feeds/2330909577989760330/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://aristocratsempire.blogspot.com/2011/12/ramblings.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4321255157550148694/posts/default/2330909577989760330'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4321255157550148694/posts/default/2330909577989760330'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aristocratsempire.blogspot.com/2011/12/ramblings.html' title='Ramblings.'/><author><name>Vanessa</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12177923736916376788</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-VBKHX1i-A6E/TaCWpOiOavI/AAAAAAAAAB0/LAwth6NMg4M/s220/55679_455530758112_522108112_5371428_7979926_o.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4321255157550148694.post-3966772323313372121</id><published>2011-11-30T16:41:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2011-12-02T16:50:33.082+08:00</updated><title type='text'>SAD NEWS :(</title><content type='html'>The saddest thing ever is that I'm not getting my Prada bag any time this month :( Hahahaha, well there was a few complications here and there, so I'm looking into other alternatives like asking friends to help me order online instead ... But if everything does not work out, buying from Singapore is the only option left. The selection here is horrible, the service is crap, and I don't think their after-service would be any good either. Baby and I checked out the Prada shop just then, and the people there are really not work-friendly at all. They won't even smile at you! They had frowns on their faces the whole time I was there. I know working as a salesgirl at Prada is not the best job offer you wanted, and seeing other people buying such high-end luxury items while they don't have the ability to afford one may seem quite saddening, but at least try to seem happy about it. Instead of showing your gloomy shit ass face the whole day. Seriously. You are under the service industry for no other reason than to 'serve' your customers! I don't mean it like a deeming way, but I'm just saying that other people has it worse off than them, like those retrenched people who can't find a decent job. SO SUCK IT UP MAN.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Anyways, putting that aside, I'm still getting my Prada bag even if it means waiting a longer period. At least I have something to be thankful for right? :) Heehee.&lt;br&gt;And that is all for today.

"&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And my Alevels have officially ended .. The feeling is just wondrous :) another treacherous chapter of my life has ended, while the enjoyment finally commences. Well actually I was already enjoying myself before, just indulging in continuous episodes of Dexter and gaming :) I remembered there was one day of which I watched the whole season of Dexter till the wee hours of the morning (6am to be more exact) and slept in till 11am .. Even my brother thought I was mad for chionging (he himself is quite addicted to Dexter and is trying very hard to catch up with me) hahahaha.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I've also somewhat drawn up my exercise plan for this week, well excluding my diet cause hell no am I disclosing my secret lose-weight-fast diet scheme!!! Hahahaha :X&lt;br /&gt;Right so, every morning, I'm going off to run at the stadium - running at least 4km and at most 5km, anymore than that I would have major cramps the next day.. Running is probably the fastest and most efficient way of losing weight and to lose weight for sure, it is advisable to run at least 3km. Besides running, I'm also heading down to the gym with Baby and Bob to just work on my abs and mostly on toning.. Toning of the body will make it look slimmer and more fit naturally :) no need to go so hardcore on the weights,  cause hell no do I wanna look bulky.. But I will most probably focus on doing more sets to perspire more. My poor abs are not so visible right now thanks to layers of fats covering it and the lack of exercising :( sadness. But I'm aiming to excel my previous body-target before I go overseas :) wish me luck!! Hahaha.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But before that!!!! What better way to end this day then to celebrate it with a glorious meal! Hahaha that's right :) before all the dieting/exercising begins, the celebratory feast has to come first :) hahaha I know I'm making myself sound like some glutton, but it's alright to sound like a pig once in a while :P so anyways, after cabbing home, I took a quick break which mainly consisted of me playing Gears of War 3.. Then I took a quick bath and Baby and I cabbed to Somerset to fetch Baby's client.. Today was his last day in Singapore so Baby arranged to have dinner with him, of course I was invited as well.. Heehee. He decided to come back to ShangriLa to eat because he felt the food was not only superb but the service was wonderful, I kinda like to eat there too because the ambiance is really awesome :)&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Took a lot of pictures too, but haven't got the time to upload them from the dslr, so maybe next time! :) And that's all for today~ Toodles.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4321255157550148694-5378945148805336075?l=aristocratsempire.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aristocratsempire.blogspot.com/feeds/5378945148805336075/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://aristocratsempire.blogspot.com/2011/11/end.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4321255157550148694/posts/default/5378945148805336075'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4321255157550148694/posts/default/5378945148805336075'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aristocratsempire.blogspot.com/2011/11/end.html' title='END'/><author><name>Vanessa</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12177923736916376788</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-VBKHX1i-A6E/TaCWpOiOavI/AAAAAAAAAB0/LAwth6NMg4M/s220/55679_455530758112_522108112_5371428_7979926_o.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4321255157550148694.post-8979047677371955674</id><published>2011-11-25T23:03:00.001+08:00</published><updated>2011-11-26T00:17:59.817+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Shopaholic Once More.</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;img src="http://i1128.photobucket.com/albums/m493/halusatonaka/tumblr_lrtrfbpbNB1qdkhono1_500.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;" Every girl's dream lies in a wardrobe of clothes ... "&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Talking about clothes, I've been quite obsessed with winter clothing. I know I shouldn't shop before going overseas because I can always find better varieties of winter clothes over there, but old habits die hard, and since mine is more of an obsession, I guess some things are just left better alone. Hahahahah :P&lt;br /&gt;Chengling has been pretty hooked onto ordering from ASOS too, and my express delivery just arrived this afternoon, which kind of messed up my afternoon plans. I was supposed to go with Baby and his client, Mr.Wang, to the IT show at Expo, but after tracking my order and realizing that they are delivering my parcel today, I had to stay home to sign for it. So I didn't go to the IT show in the end.&lt;br /&gt;And so my parcel did arrive and I was soooo happy with my purchase (like duh!) and this time my darling Baby joined me in the shopping too! Hahahaha :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;img height="456" src="http://i1128.photobucket.com/albums/m493/halusatonaka/BOOTS.jpg" width="475" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is the Foldover Military Boots Babe bought. It is something which he has never tried out before since he is not really the kind who would go clothes-shopping, but I'm really impressed he has such a keen eye for clothes that actually suit him! Hahaha, believe me, some guys can pull off a certain look, while others just look ridiculous. I guess everything has to do with body-shape/size and even facial features :) And when Baby tried on this pair today, I thought it looked wonderful ... Even though he has such fat thighs LOL!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img height="455" src="http://i1128.photobucket.com/albums/m493/halusatonaka/BLOUSE.jpg" width="477" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When I first laid eyes on this blouse, I was just so compelled to get it. And I did! Hahahaha, I guess I have a soft spot for looks such as this :P&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img height="454" src="http://i1128.photobucket.com/albums/m493/halusatonaka/CARDIGAN.jpg" width="477" /&gt;&lt;br&gt;And well, I bought another cardigan because the other one I bought was a tad too long (reached my knees!) and it was made of super thick wool-material that makes it ridiculous to wear in Singapore. The only sensible place to wear it in Singapore would be SNOW CITY. And I hate that place. LOL.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img height="452" src="http://i1128.photobucket.com/albums/m493/halusatonaka/MITTENS.jpg" width="476" /&gt;&lt;br&gt;Here are the mittens which I thought was super cute and the material is so freaking soft and nice to touch!!!!!!!! I could just place my face over it and sleep on it. LOL. Thank goodness it was on sale! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA :P&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;And that was all from ASOS :P But that is not the end of the shopping list. Baby bought the NIKON D7000 DSLR today which was meant for the trip. Hahahaha because Baby and I wanted to have a good camera to retain all the wonderful memories of us spending the holidays with our two families, so he bought this camera specially for this trip. Hahahaha crazy isn't it? :P And he and his client did something really funny at the IT show ... Because Baby had so many things to carry besides the camera, the two of them agreed that it would be quite troublesome to carry all of those around the crowded stuffy hall, so his client went to buy a Canon Printer just so that he can get the trolley (as a free gift) to let Baby push his stuff around with ease. HAHAHA. How I describe the entire scenario does not do justice because when his client explained to me over dinner, I was laughing like mad, at the same time, trying to contain myself a little. HAHAHA :P If I have the chance to try out the camera, I would definitely post some of the pictures up here :) It is going to be a blast! But first, I have to read up the super thick manual inside :(&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;In a sweet wonderful addition, my Prada tote is flying from Europe/London and will be arriving in Singapore on either the 1st or 2nd of December, which makes me ever the more excited for December to arrive :P Heehee. I wanted to get the Cream/White Prada tote but I'm afraid that it might be difficult to clean especially when I'm so clumsy and always ending up destroying my bags LOL. So black it is! :P Baby is also in the midst of anticipating because he also has his Prada Wallet and Money Clip coming along~ Hahahaha, such an exciting month after the dreadful Alevels :P But I'm still deciding whether I should bring the bag along with me to China, because I'm afraid it might attract the wrong crowd or something LOL. Not meaning anything offensive but Baby also did warn me about his own hometown. :(&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;SO, after Baby came back from the IT show and trying out his new boots, he left again for Bugis to do his own stuff, which I prepared (bathe and whatnot) and left the house at 4plus to go meet him at Bugis. We cabbed from there to fetch Mr.Wang to have dinner together.&lt;br&gt;Today we ate at some Korean restaurant which was REALLY GOOD! Even though the 90% of the food was super spicy, I still had my share of awesome-ness :) Sadly I didn't manage to take any pictures because I was not really in the mood to do so since I was sneezing non-stop thanks to my flu again! :( The bbq beef was especially tasty along with the crispy fish which was cooked to such perfection that the bones were so soft and chewable :D I also had a taste of Korean wine which was really churning up the heat in my stomach - so much so that even my face was red. Hahahaha. But it did a good job in helping me cure a bit of the flu as I felt much better soon after :) All in all, it was a super awesome meal thanks to Mr.Wang :) I'm quite glad that Baby has found such a nice friend/business-colleague like Mr.Wang who is a super affable guy (I think I mentioned it before some time ago LOL) and probably the second person from China (besides Baby!) whom I can understand his conversation. Hahahaha, Baby's other friends speak in such weird or unique accents that I can't catch/understand what they are saying, and my Chinese is not very good either you know! LOL.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;After dinner, we deciced to head home early. But Baby and I went back to Bugis where I finally decided to buy this super awesome book. DOUBLE DEXTER :) Yep, it is the novel that was propelled to release the hit-television-series Dexter :) When I read the synopsis of the book, it seemed that there wasn't any episode on it (I actually read the summary beforehand.. another bad habit of mine :P) so I bought it! :D The book is about Dexter having a copy-cat who was following his ideals of killing the 'evil ones' and it seemed that he was bent on killing Dexter. And it just boggles my mind! So I just have to have it :) Hahahahahaha, looks like I have something to do on the plane while traveling overseas.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;All in all, it was a super awesome day! I get to get my stuff on time, got a new camera, ate a super awesome meal, and got myself a morbid mind-twisting novel to keep myself occupied. Life can not get any better! :D:D:D:D (not to mention my Prada stuff coming soon~) Heehee, Alevels ending seems like a REALLY SWEET DEAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D Well, that is all I have for today~ Toodles~ And all the best to my dearest friends taking Physics/Chemistry MCQs :)&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4321255157550148694-8979047677371955674?l=aristocratsempire.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aristocratsempire.blogspot.com/feeds/8979047677371955674/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://aristocratsempire.blogspot.com/2011/11/shopaholic-once-more.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4321255157550148694/posts/default/8979047677371955674'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4321255157550148694/posts/default/8979047677371955674'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aristocratsempire.blogspot.com/2011/11/shopaholic-once-more.html' title='Shopaholic Once More.'/><author><name>Vanessa</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12177923736916376788</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-VBKHX1i-A6E/TaCWpOiOavI/AAAAAAAAAB0/LAwth6NMg4M/s220/55679_455530758112_522108112_5371428_7979926_o.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4321255157550148694.post-996248653982864192</id><published>2011-11-22T23:25:00.001+08:00</published><updated>2011-11-25T22:58:33.464+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Close to the Finale~</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;img src="http://i1128.photobucket.com/albums/m493/halusatonaka/tumblr_lr5n1mtXJF1qdextdo1_500.jpg"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;" And every book searches its finale ... "&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;"Close to a Finale", what a befitting title for my post of today :) For those of you who has suffered through the treacherous past month of late-night muggings and soulless nights, I can sense an air of rejoice as this nightmare is coming to a near close. Yes, my dears .. Alevels are coming to a near end! This tangible feeling is so palpable I can almost taste the freedom. Such bliss, such intense cluster of joy - I'm just stretching out my arms, wanting to embrace this feeling as soon as possible. But of course, the irony of it all - I'm still left with one paper. That paper has dreadfully come in between me and my freedom. Physics MCQs, you diabolical piece of bullshit.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;BUT, I'm still pretty much in a relaxing mood. I've been playing Gears of War 3 ever since my Literature Paper 5 ended and I bet Melissa is already hooked onto her Mapple Story. Hahahaha. Goodness.&lt;br&gt;Many people say that Gears of War 3 is so not a girl's game, but heck! Hahahahaha, I guess getting raised with two brothers and no sisters just make me more tom-boyish than any other girls. And I totally love it :) &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;And of course I've been keeping up with my Dexter-cravings :) The show is freaking amazing! Within just one week or so, I've already completed watching 3 freaking seasons and now am currently on the 4th one. I tell you, this show never fails to fascinate me, except for Dexter's somewhat flirtatious attitude in around season 2 which I found him rather intolerable. But heck, now it's all GOOD!! :)&lt;br&gt;I even got my elder brother addicted to Dexter ... that is how deviously insane we are :) So anyways, I'm heading back to relaxtion~ Hhahahaha. Toodles.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4321255157550148694-996248653982864192?l=aristocratsempire.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aristocratsempire.blogspot.com/feeds/996248653982864192/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://aristocratsempire.blogspot.com/2011/11/relaxing.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4321255157550148694/posts/default/996248653982864192'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4321255157550148694/posts/default/996248653982864192'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aristocratsempire.blogspot.com/2011/11/relaxing.html' title='Close to the Finale~'/><author><name>Vanessa</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12177923736916376788</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-VBKHX1i-A6E/TaCWpOiOavI/AAAAAAAAAB0/LAwth6NMg4M/s220/55679_455530758112_522108112_5371428_7979926_o.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4321255157550148694.post-1626608102903369523</id><published>2011-11-20T18:51:00.001+08:00</published><updated>2011-11-20T18:51:44.713+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Dexter Morgan.</title><content type='html'>Ever crave for mysteries that are so out of this world that it gives you the creeps whenever you think of it? Or perhaps would you rather indulge in twisted psychological thrills that just gives you a mind-orgasm? I may have the perfect scene for those of you wonderful intricate minds out there.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This show has been around for quite some time and it has produced six amazing seasons for you to just gorge on. The series itself is produced from an amazing award-winning novel - Dexter Morgan. Yes the name of this awesome series is Dexter :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;img height="320" src="http://images2.fanpop.com/images/photos/8200000/Dexter-Morgan-dexter-8264850-1280-800.jpg" width="512" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img height="268" src="http://i1128.photobucket.com/albums/m493/halusatonaka/Dexter1.jpg" width="576" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On a lazy Saturday afternoon, I was just starting on my coffee-break-cum-television-watching. But alas, my mind was just sick of the mundane afternoon programs that somehow haunts my capacity to think. However, sitting along the lines of 9gag and epicfail websites, I found myself stumbling upon a piece of astounding television series... And after reading the synopsis on Wikipedia.. The genre of this particular show just clicked with a part of my twisted mind: Crime drama, Suspense, Psychological thriller, Mystery.... It seemed like a pretty good deal to worked my mind on such areas not like watching Jersey Shore (not that I do.. I hate that show to bits.. Yuck.) So I embarked on a new journey knowing that my dearest C.S.I still has a long way before producing the next episode.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The first episode was something like a trial run - it is essential in seeing how the producers laid out the plot, characters, schemes and whatnot. Being a person who is really particular what sort of shows I let myself enjoy, I find the first episode already so engaging. It pilots off with Dexter narrating how he is different from everybody, holding a deep dark secret that none can comprehend. Yet he doesn't disclose much about himself .. Not yet... And later on in the episode, you find yourself being drawn in to this Dexter character and everything he does is being laid out in front of your eyes: letting the audience sympathize his every actions even more. It is something that was very well brought out and I was simply impressed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For those of you who doesn't want any spoilers, I suggest you skip this particular paragraph :) anyways Dexter is a man of science working as a blood splatter analyst at Miami Police Division. Yet being brought up by an adoptive father, who was a cop too, Dexter was haunted by some dark urges to kill.. Thus his father decided to develop his urges in a direction of which he sees fit.. As such, Dexter was not only compelled to become a top forensic scientist.. He was also pushed into becoming a justified serial killer.. Why I say "justified"? It's because he only kills criminals who has escaped the law or revert back to their dark unlawful paths. But that is not the only aspect which makes me adore this show: it was how Dexter plans his serial killings and how he covered his tracks that just blows my mind. In addition, his inability to love or feel emotions all form part of his demented personality. Yet, he was still portrayed as a seemingly charming guy with a beautiful girlfriend, whose children adores him so, and a sister who idolizes him till no end. Being able to juggle his usual life working for the law and dating his wonderful girlfriend, and his deep dark life of killing people and keeping a sample of their blood as a arduous vigilante, Dexter proves to be a character with tremendous capabilities.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So for all my readers out there, I definitely would recommend this series to anyone who loves to jolt their mind here and there once in a while.. But bear in mind that this show is only suited for those 18 and above as coupled with its psychological traumatic plot, there are quite a few adult scenes to heightened the entire storyline. Rest assure, this is not porn, but a true feast for those who craves for mysteries. In addition, the show never fails to twist and turn the plot in ways you have never imagined and at the same time, mix it with innocent jokes that you can enjoy :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What are you waiting for?!?!?! Go on ahead and catch an episode of Dexter!!!!!! :D Hahaha toodles~&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4321255157550148694-1626608102903369523?l=aristocratsempire.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aristocratsempire.blogspot.com/feeds/1626608102903369523/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://aristocratsempire.blogspot.com/2011/11/dexter-morgan.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4321255157550148694/posts/default/1626608102903369523'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4321255157550148694/posts/default/1626608102903369523'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aristocratsempire.blogspot.com/2011/11/dexter-morgan.html' title='Dexter Morgan.'/><author><name>Vanessa</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12177923736916376788</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-VBKHX1i-A6E/TaCWpOiOavI/AAAAAAAAAB0/LAwth6NMg4M/s220/55679_455530758112_522108112_5371428_7979926_o.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4321255157550148694.post-5955314016894167919</id><published>2011-11-19T16:52:00.001+08:00</published><updated>2011-11-19T16:54:32.584+08:00</updated><title type='text'>UGG~</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;img height="389" src="http://i1128.photobucket.com/albums/m493/halusatonaka/ASOS.jpg" width="598" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ASOS is having another awesome discount!!!!! And this time they are taking £50 off all UGGS items. Omg, can you believe it?!?! I've always been eyeing on their UGG boots.. They are damn chio and super neat for my winter wardrobe!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;img height="378" src="http://i1128.photobucket.com/albums/m493/halusatonaka/ASOSBOOTS.jpg" width="487" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is one of my favourite because it is just too adorable!! Plus, the insides of the shoe is like super comfy ... Because it is made from super high-quality sheepskin which is definitely a call for ultra comfort :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img height="375" src="http://i1128.photobucket.com/albums/m493/halusatonaka/ASOSBOOTS2.png" width="482" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another one of my favourite because of the slightly darker color :) And if it is dirty, it won't be too obvious. LOL&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Alas, the sale starts on Sunday.. So my dearest readers!!! Prep up your wallet, credit cards and your Internet ready for tomorrow crazy mega-smash sale!!! I'm not sure whether the items will be selling like hot cakes but hell, after participating in so many sales with my friends, we all agree that it is like a snatch and pull sale.. It is just that insane!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So I'm definitely getting everything prepped up for tomorrow and yes I am definitely going to use express delivery.. The only problem is that I can't seem to find anyone interested in buying UGG boots with me!!! D: I guess it's because Singapore is so darn hot and not many of my friends are going overseas or not going to a cold country.. So I'm left along by myself looking through the UGG catalogue.. :( #foreveralone.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ahhhhh, I'm probably going insane because I still have lots to shop before going off for my super long holiday and Baby has already graciously offered to pay off my previous shopping galore(s) which was like me indulging in some crazed maniac shopping spree (well actually I've been like this for as long as I remember .. But that's not the point lol!!) and I'm like really thankful for him ;) but if the UGG sale really doesn't work out for me, I guess I have more money to spend on other items. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So anyways.. For those of you who loves winter boots or to those who are going for a super long winter holiday, do drop by ASOS and check out their awesome UGG winter sale :) in addition, they have other Christmas gifts/items/clothes, which are all on sale as well~ :) and if you are thinking of buying something from ASOS, do drop me an email or notification anywhere anytime :) sharing a parcel plus express delivery charges definitely bumps up the Christmas spirit!!! Heehee, other than that, I bid you all an awesome holiday~ :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Toodles~&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;PS: All images and credits go to ASOS :)&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4321255157550148694-5955314016894167919?l=aristocratsempire.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aristocratsempire.blogspot.com/feeds/5955314016894167919/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://aristocratsempire.blogspot.com/2011/11/ugg.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4321255157550148694/posts/default/5955314016894167919'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4321255157550148694/posts/default/5955314016894167919'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aristocratsempire.blogspot.com/2011/11/ugg.html' title='UGG~'/><author><name>Vanessa</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12177923736916376788</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-VBKHX1i-A6E/TaCWpOiOavI/AAAAAAAAAB0/LAwth6NMg4M/s220/55679_455530758112_522108112_5371428_7979926_o.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4321255157550148694.post-2470209447572452587</id><published>2011-11-18T20:18:00.001+08:00</published><updated>2011-11-18T20:22:10.629+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Updates ;)</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;img src="http://i1128.photobucket.com/albums/m493/halusatonaka/tumblr_ltc4echnAA1qelcwvo1_500.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;" A blank of white silence filled the land - with its serenity engulfing all. "&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And so I went to visit my grandfather after his operation yesterday. I went along with my younger brother and Baby. Took a quick bus ride there and my mother was already there.&lt;br /&gt;My grandfather was put in another ward which had better all-rounded care. When we entered the ward, all I could hear was the beeping of the heart-monitor which rather spooked me out. And there laid my grandfather sleeping. My grandma gently woke him up to tell him of our arrival. He seemed pretty happy to see us, but he was too weak to smile, he just had a slight grin and he tried to reach out for our hands, but he couldn't really move. We just saw his hand trembling. My grandfather tried to talk to us too, but he was just so exhausted and weak that he could only mumble his words, which Joel and I had to lean in really close to listen to what he had to say. Just seeing him like this made my heart really ached. I was quite emotional throughout the entire visit. We asked how he was doing, he said that he was alright: the operation was a success but his stomach ached quite a lot when he coughed. We didn't stay long because he probably needed a lot of rest, so we just stayed in there for a while, asking about his day before we left.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The five of us - Grandmother, mother, Joel, Baby and I sat outside just resting in front of the television talking about my grandfather's situation. Apparently, he can only be discharged 2 weeks later. And it was quite sad that we couldn't celebrate his birthday today. My mother told me not to buy his birthday cake or buy him any flowers because he was quite depressed - since he would be reminded of his inability to celebrate his birthday properly as a family.&lt;br /&gt;So my grandmother planned that perhaps after he got discharged and was feeling much better, then we could give him a surprise birthday celebration at home. :) I'm really revved up for it.&lt;br /&gt;I think after this experience of seeing how much my grandfather has suffered through without giving up, and the strength of my grandmother's love, has really led me to appreciate my grandparents more. It has really been a touching and emotional journey for my entire family and it has really brought all of us together. It is really through God's grace, that everything has worked out so well in the end. I hope you guys will continue praying for my grandfather's speedy recovery and that he will be as strong (or even stronger) as before :) Thank you all so much and God bless! :D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So anyways, let me end with something more heart-lifting :) Today Baby surprised me with a little gift. Well, it has been something which I am yearning to learn since Baby has been pushing me to do so ... MAKE-UP! LOL. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;img height="334" src="http://i1128.photobucket.com/albums/m493/halusatonaka/4742ad90.jpg?t=1321618319" width="448" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img height="334" src="http://i1128.photobucket.com/albums/m493/halusatonaka/bae67f37.jpg" width="448" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img height="334" src="http://i1128.photobucket.com/albums/m493/halusatonaka/3b0a07dd.jpg" width="448" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Can anyone guess what brand this is? LANCOME~ Heehee. And it comes as a travel-pack make-up which is perfect since I'm going overseas for a long time too. LOL. Just hope I can get the grasp of it before I go overseas :) Heehee. I'm really appreciative of my darling Baby for being supportive and encouraging no matter what I do :) Heehee. Thank you so much Baby! :D I love you so much, even though I don't really show (cause I'm so busy with Alevels), but I want you to know, that in my heart, you are always the first man for me :)&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;So anyways, that is all I've for today.

Since I'm able to track my order, I can see that it has already arrived in Singapore! Even better is that I've no need to worry when they will deliver it because they have it all written down. And it seems like they proceeded with the local delivery around 7.45am ...&lt;br /&gt;Most people would put off express delivery because it costs quite expensive and depending on the amount of clothes one buys, express delivery charges can really slit ones throat. But, I am here to say that express delivery is more suited for those worrywarts, consistently worrying over the smallest minute details, such as me. Lol! It's a small price to pay to soothe the never-ending anxiousness and pain.. And I think after this really pain-free experience, I'm going to use express delivery whenever I shop online. Of course if I had friends buying along, I would definitely ask them to fork out a bit more for the express shipping.. Other than that, I'm a true advocate for express delivery! :D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So right, to those who have been praying for my grandfather, his operation ended around evening yesterday.. And it was a success!!!!! :) my grandmother was just so relieved . He was shifted to another ward as I guess he needs to be under constant care after operation. He also cannot eat any solid foods for the time being, so he has been drinking lots and lots of fluids...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My family is hoping to get a chance to see him today to celebrate his birthday. If I'm not wrong, he is turning 84years old this year! Amazing :) he has lived a ripe old age with no regrets whatsoever. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just want to thank God for always keeping His eye on my grandparents - he has always made sure that they were under good care, protecting them along every step of the way. And I'm sure that my grandparents still have lots of years left to live out to the fullest :) it would be soooo awesome if they saw my children, and my kids would have to call them great-grandparents. Omg, that is just too awesome~!! They could play around their grandparents and great-grandparents!!!!!! So fortunate~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And that's all I have for today.. I hope I can go out for a run later .. Have to see what time Baby wakes up because he seems to be sleeping like a pig now. Lol.&lt;br /&gt;Toodles~&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4321255157550148694-4870643942855812117?l=aristocratsempire.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aristocratsempire.blogspot.com/feeds/4870643942855812117/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://aristocratsempire.blogspot.com/2011/11/express-delivery.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4321255157550148694/posts/default/4870643942855812117'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4321255157550148694/posts/default/4870643942855812117'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aristocratsempire.blogspot.com/2011/11/express-delivery.html' title='Express Delivery'/><author><name>Vanessa</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12177923736916376788</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-VBKHX1i-A6E/TaCWpOiOavI/AAAAAAAAAB0/LAwth6NMg4M/s220/55679_455530758112_522108112_5371428_7979926_o.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4321255157550148694.post-2576371006490959400</id><published>2011-11-17T12:50:00.001+08:00</published><updated>2011-11-17T12:58:07.017+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Visit.</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;img src="http://i1128.photobucket.com/albums/m493/halusatonaka/tumblr_lpcfmvZBkL1qffjnfo2_500.gif"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Shiro is just so kawaii~ :P&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;And my grandfather's operation has finally commenced. I'm feeling nervous, anxious, just dying in suspense. I really do pray everything goes well with his operation.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Yesterday my family went down to visit him except for Baby as he had to meet his clients. But he gave me money to buy a fruit basket for him ... which was quite fail because my grandpa cannot eat anything solid before his operation................... But he still thanked Baby for his kind gestures :) Heehee.&lt;br&gt;Anyways, my younger brother and I went there quite early to just chat with him since staying in the hospital was really boring. And Joel and I had never fail so much in our lives before. Our grandfather has two names, one is his IC name and the other is his Christian name. But my family and I are so used to calling him by his Christian name ... Moving on, Joel and I went to register ourselves as visitors first, and when the nurse asked us what was our relation to him (because visiting hours were at 5pm, but family has the authority to go in any time before that) ... and we said we were his grandchildren. Then she asked us what his name was ... we were stunned. And Joel happily said my grandpa's Christian name which was not the name he used to register into the hospital. The nurse gave us this wth-look, then she denied us early access and asked us to wait till 5pm. WTS.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;So I called my grandmother down to fetch us up and woah, she scolded the person for denying us access since we are his grandchildren, then the person reluctantly let us go up! HAHAHAHAHA :P Power sia. But still, it was our fault for saying the wrong name..... LOL.&lt;br&gt;And so we chatted with our grandparents until my parents came along with my elder brother. Seeing he was still in his uniform, he got lots of stares... HAHAHAHA. Super awkward.&lt;br&gt;I really had fun spending time with my grandparents - they shared a lot of their hospital experiences which were quite funny. My grandfather was also a joker, when the nurse came in to help him with his blood transfusion, he exclaimed that his blood was A-special! HAHAHA. Actually his blood type is A+, but he always regarded it like a school test when a student gets A+, his result is considered as A-special! :) And the nurses were all laughing along with his joke - which is quite a relief to know that the nurses are affable and humorous. I've always pictured them to be stern, grumpy and really full of hatred (stereotypes right!).&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;We stayed there till 7plus before we decided to head home and give my grandfather some time to rest before his operation tomorrow. Oh, and before we left, we prayed for him too. It was awesome to know how united my family is even in times of tribulation :) Go TAN-FAMILY! LOL.&lt;br&gt;Before heading home, Joshua made a pit-stop to buy his baking ingredients.. I tell you he is dead-serious about becoming a professional baker/cook. I'm like ... I love to bake too! But seeing how little time I have these past few weeks, I'm like "to hell with it"... HAHAHAHA.&lt;br&gt;Well of course, I am going to take up baking again after Alevels. Hahaha :) All the best to me~&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;That's all for today I guess?

This layout is slightly more matured than the previous one which was more suited for the princess-princess type.. Took me quite a while to get the kinks worked out, but I managed to make a few minor adjustments to the blog skin - changed the text and font sizes because I don't really like the huge fonts which doesn't seem like my style ... And of course the pictures!! The first picture is a gif image of one of my most favourite anime of all times - kuroshitsuji (the black butler).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The second picture is of my baby and I!!!!(duh) lol! And the third one is from another of my favourite anime - Durarara~ but alas I couldn't find any suitable pictures for the fourth one so I'm just leaving it as it is for now :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So anyways, I'm just updating my current whereabouts - currently at the hospital with my younger brother and grandmother, just accompanying my grandfather. My parents and elder brother would be arriving as soon as they knocked off from work.. And I just want to thank God for a piece of good news; my grandfather took a head scan just today and it seemed that there was no ballooning of his veins there.. Which is a super great relief :) but I'm still praying for his operation tomorrow.. And I'm praying that everything would be a success..&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4321255157550148694-2494084434606180431?l=aristocratsempire.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aristocratsempire.blogspot.com/feeds/2494084434606180431/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://aristocratsempire.blogspot.com/2011/11/its-been-while-since-i-last-changed-my.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4321255157550148694/posts/default/2494084434606180431'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4321255157550148694/posts/default/2494084434606180431'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aristocratsempire.blogspot.com/2011/11/its-been-while-since-i-last-changed-my.html' title='New Blog Layout'/><author><name>Vanessa</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12177923736916376788</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-VBKHX1i-A6E/TaCWpOiOavI/AAAAAAAAAB0/LAwth6NMg4M/s220/55679_455530758112_522108112_5371428_7979926_o.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4321255157550148694.post-2892591439761312620</id><published>2011-11-16T13:24:00.001+08:00</published><updated>2011-11-16T13:41:57.494+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Randomlings.</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;img src="http://i1128.photobucket.com/albums/m493/halusatonaka/tumblr_lnykafhfUs1qfkur2o1_500.jpg"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Another end to another paper - Economics Paper 01, you have proven yourself to be an admirable foe, for you have once again crushed my very hopes to get an A :(&lt;br&gt;Bummer .... Today was just madness. The paper was super tricky I had a really difficult time doing the questions with the most mark. OH WHY CRUEL FATE?! :( But heck, I'm just going to forget about what happened today.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;So anyways, I've only 3 papers left before my ultimate freedom! Yayness!!! Heehee, and today starts my training montage!!! I WANT MY ABS BACK. :( Last time, I used to train so hard on my abs that it has a pretty toned-shape :) It's like can see the slight bulge, but now it's practically gone! Buried under the layers of fats from eating so much ice-cream and good food for the past few weeks.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Coupled with the lack of time to go gym/exercise, I've become fat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! D: So I'm going to have yogurt for dinner today + 5km run at night. I don't know why but I love running at night .. the cold breeze kissing my cheeks, and the fact that there are hardly anybody on the streets to block my way etc. Of course it is dangerous, but heck! As long as I can outrun them, I'll be fine~ Heehee. I can't wait to lose another 5kg, the idea of it just makes me so excited to go exercising :) Hahahaha. And I've such a great coach at home to help me enforce my diet + exercise plans. What more can I ask for? :P&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Anyways, I'm going to visit my grandfather at the hospital later, along with my family. He is going for an operation to remove a tumor from his stomach, thank God it was discovered even before it could reach the first stage!! :) But I still pray for my grandfather's safety during the operation as he still has other complications such as his weak heart and a 'balloon' in his head. BUT, my granddad is a super strong man! Even after reaching such a ripe old age, he is still active and full of life :) So, to all my friends who read this post, please pray for my grandfather's operation to be an ultimate success and for his speedy recovery from then on. :D I'm going to visit him later with my family and Baby has graciously offered me money to buy him a fruit basket! Not to mention my granddad's birthday is on this coming Friday, all the more to give him a pleasant surprise! :D&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;But ever since my granddad got admitted to the hospital, my grandma has been feeling really down these few days. I could sense how lonely she felt when she was at home, and sometimes I could see how sad she was ... And every day without fail, my grandma would always go to the hospital to visit my grandfather - from the starting of visiting hours all the way to the end. WITHOUT FAIL! Even if she feels tired, or restless, she will always make that trip. That is what I admire about my grandparents' love. Both of them are so devoted to each other, that nothing can come in between them. Not to mention they are still pretty lovey-dovey even after being married for so long! I may have said this before on my blog ... but my grandparents still hold hands!! :) Heehee. So cute right? And I really admire my grandmother's strength and endurance, as she herself isn't young either, but she would always accompany my grandfather no matter where he went - hospital, church, market, or just going out for a stroll. Such amazing love is rare in such a corrupted generation. They are truly a great inspiration for me and my future husband. :)&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;And that's all I have for today. I'm feeling pretty exhausted and probably would want to sleep for a while first. Hahahaha.Toodles~All the best to my friends who are taking their Chemistry paper 02 which is going to start soon. Don't freak out kkies! And try your best~! :) Gambette~&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4321255157550148694-2892591439761312620?l=aristocratsempire.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aristocratsempire.blogspot.com/feeds/2892591439761312620/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://aristocratsempire.blogspot.com/2011/11/randomlings.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4321255157550148694/posts/default/2892591439761312620'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4321255157550148694/posts/default/2892591439761312620'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aristocratsempire.blogspot.com/2011/11/randomlings.html' title='Randomlings.'/><author><name>Vanessa</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12177923736916376788</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-VBKHX1i-A6E/TaCWpOiOavI/AAAAAAAAAB0/LAwth6NMg4M/s220/55679_455530758112_522108112_5371428_7979926_o.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4321255157550148694.post-5782170030717625461</id><published>2011-11-15T17:51:00.001+08:00</published><updated>2011-11-15T18:00:53.679+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Humz ...</title><content type='html'>This is my first time trying out an Express Delivery Service from an online shop.. I wonder how long they will take to send it from overseas to Singapore :S&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All the other times I will always use the free delivery service which takes almost forever to arrive in my mailbox. So let's see how fast this courier is! Hahaha shopping experiments sure are fun to conduct!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So anyways in the package should a Fred Perry shirt for my Baby and another small item.. Sure hope the parcel won't get lost in the mail.. LOL.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Delivery should take about 4days working days starting from tomorrow.. Oh please do come early!!! :P&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well another reason why I asked for it to be express is because I'm afraid that within the four weeks of waiting, I might already be overseas, which means if the package does arrive, I won't be in to sign in. Bummer right. Damn. So I'm just crossing my fingers wishing everything will be fine - the plane won't face any technical difficulties or has the need to reroute its course etc .. And I must have faith in Singapore's local couriers as well ... Despite hearing so many negative feedback about them .. :@ oh wells.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well that's all I've for today.. Hahaha :P going off to have my dinner and read up my Econs notes for Paper 1 tomorrow. I would be left with 3 papers after tomorrow's torture so I'm praying for strength to keep me going!!!! :P&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All the best to my fellow Alevels-mates and especially to those who has two papers tomorrow: Econs and Chem paper 02..

Whenever I'm free or just feeling down, I would love the idea of burying myself with a mountain of books of all genres, but of course, I MUST have mystery novels. I simply adore mysteries; spine-tingling to cold-shivers :) The thought of just sitting under the warm bask of the sun, immersing myself into the intricate mysteries and plots. Ooohh, the idea is just tantalizing :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So always, today was the day of my Literature Paper 01 and Physics Paper 02. And I've to say that I'm quite scared for Lit despite it being my somewhat stronger subject. I took practically half an hour to decipher the poem, and yet I couldn't really construct a nicely 'formulated' paragraph.&lt;br /&gt;The other questions were alright, but I'm still afraid that I didn't explain my point well enough to get my mark :( So everything is practically a gamble out there.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As for Physics, I was so sure I would die a horrible death ... But surprisingly it was somewhat doable. They had quite a few super easy questions which I could guarantee my mark, but they also had those experimental questions which I was trying so damn hard to remember the notes.&lt;br /&gt;All in all, it was still quite alright. I'm not looking for an A, but I just hope I can do well enough to get into the course I want :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As for now, I'm just relaxing and laying back. My younger brother finished his Olevels officially today......... It was actually his physics MCQs.. So he was actually done with Olevels like quite some time ago. Lol.. :( sad for me since I still have bitchy Alvls.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;At least I still have 4 papers remaining.. But then I'm dying to go training!! I'm like so fat right now and I feel like working out a sweat. Many people say that sleeping or playing helps relieve stress, but for me, exercising is the best stress reliever for me :) I'm dying to just run and enjoy the breeze in the air.. Not to mention working on my abs :) hahaha!!!!!!! I'm such a exercise-junkie, but nothing is enjoyable if it isn't done with my awesome Baby who is dying to work out too! He has been such a darling recently - accompanying me in school in the morning, and waiting in my school canteen till after my papers where we would share a cab home together :)&lt;br&gt;You may been wondering why he seems so free, and well, that is because he quitted his job recently as his boss was being a real prick and having his own pool of loyal customers, he seems to be doing quite well :)&lt;br&gt;A girl could not have asked for more ... heehee.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;So anyways, all those mushy mushy things aside, I've going back to study for my Economics Paper 01 which is on this Wednesday. I finally don't have two papers on any same day, which is a true relief because I will always feel super groggy after one paper and would feel like snoozing real bad. Today was truly a miracle I could still stay 'alive' after three hours of grueling Literature.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Toodles~! And to all my awesome JC friends, continue to Jiayous! Just two more hellish weeks and we are FREE! :)&lt;br&gt;Love ya all and God bless :D&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4321255157550148694-8229166632444675516?l=aristocratsempire.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aristocratsempire.blogspot.com/feeds/8229166632444675516/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://aristocratsempire.blogspot.com/2011/11/litphysics.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4321255157550148694/posts/default/8229166632444675516'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4321255157550148694/posts/default/8229166632444675516'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aristocratsempire.blogspot.com/2011/11/litphysics.html' title='Lit/Physics'/><author><name>Vanessa</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12177923736916376788</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-VBKHX1i-A6E/TaCWpOiOavI/AAAAAAAAAB0/LAwth6NMg4M/s220/55679_455530758112_522108112_5371428_7979926_o.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4321255157550148694.post-4089075517209947952</id><published>2011-11-13T07:12:00.001+08:00</published><updated>2011-11-13T07:47:52.301+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Love?</title><content type='html'>Just recently I've realized that I've changed into an entirely different person from what I once was.. And I am aware of it, but do you know that your attitude is changing as well?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I guess time do change us all .. Or just me alone. We used to smile talk and laugh at every mistakes, but now we just point out each other's flaws: expecting the other party to grovel in defeat. Is this what we have really become?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I thought you understood me; my imperfections, my incessant worries over insignificant issues, the over-compulsive disorder which haunts me ever so, coupled with my swaying fragile emotions.&lt;br /&gt;But I was wrong. Instead, you see me as someone who doesn't trust you, when I'm only compelled to triple-check it.&lt;br /&gt;You think I'm irritating when I feel it is important to get certain things done before I can enjoy the others.&lt;br /&gt;I've always thought that we were different from the other couples. Driven to speak different languages, I was uncertain of our future side by side.. But somehow we are still together. &lt;br /&gt;You say it was destiny who brought us face-to-face .. A turn of events, a tweak of nature, and an unlikely place in which we met - can this really be called fate? Or is it just a coincidence.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Coming from a person who believes in a God Almighty, I believe in the intangible ... A greater force which compels and arranged for us to meet. Yet everything that we have faced up till now, is it still by His doing? Or are we just not meant to be?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I used to feel protected, loved and enjoyed learning new things from you..&lt;br /&gt;Now I feel threatened, judged and expectations that I can't guarantee.&lt;br /&gt;I feel like I'm fighting a battle with no end .. No one is winning yet nobody wants to back down in fear of the stripping of one's ego. We are just hurting each other.. But yet we still don't want to understand each other true feelings.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;People used to tell me - if you really love him, you would let him go.&lt;br /&gt;As the famous saying go, " Tis better to have loved then lost, than to have never loved at all ... "&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I find that hard to believe.&lt;br /&gt;If I really love him, I would never let him go ... I will fight for him to once again acknowledge that we are as one.&lt;br /&gt;However as of now, I'm no longer certain of myself: whether I should carry on fighting for this relationship to work or should I just let fate take over my ending ...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yet another saying haunts me so, "Fate is just a name cowards give to the past: to them being powerless to change their course of action."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm just so confused as to what to do, how to tackle it, and how to react if nothing goes my way...&lt;br /&gt;There are so many "what-ifs" and so few "I know" ... In time, answers will reveal themselves. Yet in time, people change too - most of the time for the worst.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Being stuck at a cross-road just renders me useless, hopeless and filled with desperation: with a tear stained face crying out for someone to rescue me.&lt;br /&gt;If that isn't you.. What is left of us but a dream - it never happened.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4321255157550148694-4089075517209947952?l=aristocratsempire.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aristocratsempire.blogspot.com/feeds/4089075517209947952/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://aristocratsempire.blogspot.com/2011/11/love.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4321255157550148694/posts/default/4089075517209947952'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4321255157550148694/posts/default/4089075517209947952'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aristocratsempire.blogspot.com/2011/11/love.html' title='Love?'/><author><name>Vanessa</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12177923736916376788</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-VBKHX1i-A6E/TaCWpOiOavI/AAAAAAAAAB0/LAwth6NMg4M/s220/55679_455530758112_522108112_5371428_7979926_o.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4321255157550148694.post-616732948144559849</id><published>2011-11-11T20:09:00.001+08:00</published><updated>2011-11-11T20:12:01.345+08:00</updated><title type='text'>MACCCCC.</title><content type='html'>Currently trying out Baby's new Mac..

I seriously can't wait for this whole Alevels shit to end.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;There are quite a number of things which I've to do after this stupid exam.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;First and foremost would definitely be exercising. I've gotten fat ever since the study break started.&lt;br&gt;Just sitting around home doing nothing but eat and study + the fact that I sometimes (alright fine, perhaps most of the time... :S ) gorge myself with chocolate when I'm feeling damn stressed out.&lt;br&gt;And Baby has been accompanying me to school every morning for my papers, and he even waited for me till my papers ended where we would cabbed home together :) So I told him, that I would repay him somehow - everyday after my Alevels I would accompanying him to the gym! GOTTA KEEP THE FIGURE MAN. LOL.&lt;br&gt;Up till now, I haven't gotten any chance to try out my new Cheer shoes, so I'm really really hoping to get back into shape for cheerleading or not my bases are going to have a super hard time. :P&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Next would be learning how to use the new dslr which Baby intends to get :)&lt;br&gt;He said something about wanting to make our holiday perfect, and a dslr makes it all the more memorable! :D&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Last but not the least - SHOPPING!&lt;br&gt;Well this time, not for me. I'm hoping to get Baby's mother a little something for being so hospitable the other time I went to vist Baby's family. For those who didn't know what she did .. well she treated me like her own daughter, when Baby told her that I LOVED shiitake (the white long thin strips of mushroom) , she went all the way out just to get shiitakes for me and cooked this super delicious meal mainly of shiitake. IT WAS AWESOME.&lt;br&gt;Baby also told her that I SIMPLY ADORE Ferrero Rocher Noir, she bought for me like boxes of those things and let me gorge everything. LOL I know I'm such a pig! Wahahahahaha.&lt;br&gt;Even when I came back to Singapore, she sent me this super adorable princess-like Marc Jacobs dress which I haven't worn it yet, because I'm just quite scared I might dirty it or something. (I know I've mentioned this a few times already, but it is something that I really appreciate!! It's like I only met her once last year and she already treats me so well. It's something which I can never forget :D )&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Ohright, and I still need to accompany Baby to get his winter cloak as he left his previous one back at his hometown for his father. :)&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;But of course, there are some things which I'm anticipating ... like my Prada bag which is on hold, but the order is going to be processed soon!~ Wheeeees~ Not to mention, Baby got a new Prada wallet and some money-clip thingy.&lt;br&gt;I'm great at influencing people to shop around me :)&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;AND the main attraction after the Alevels would be travelling with my family and Baby's family after that.&lt;br&gt;This time, we would be visiting mainly parts of ASIA. Hahahaha&lt;br&gt;My family wants to go HongKong because of their Disney World and Sea World~~~~&lt;br&gt;Oh gosh, I'm just soooooooooooooooooo excited!!!!! :DI hope everything works out fine! :D Heehee.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;And so, that's all for today again.&lt;br&gt;I felt so guilty just now for indulging myself in Gears of War 3 ... Ahhhh the guilt. (Like real)&lt;br&gt;Going back to study Physics, my most dreadful subject after Maths :(&lt;br&gt;Toodles~&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4321255157550148694-2406872479416735515?l=aristocratsempire.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aristocratsempire.blogspot.com/feeds/2406872479416735515/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://aristocratsempire.blogspot.com/2011/11/random.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4321255157550148694/posts/default/2406872479416735515'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4321255157550148694/posts/default/2406872479416735515'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aristocratsempire.blogspot.com/2011/11/random.html' title='Random.'/><author><name>Vanessa</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12177923736916376788</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-VBKHX1i-A6E/TaCWpOiOavI/AAAAAAAAAB0/LAwth6NMg4M/s220/55679_455530758112_522108112_5371428_7979926_o.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4321255157550148694.post-8499429791123361739</id><published>2011-11-10T14:04:00.001+08:00</published><updated>2011-11-10T14:04:17.275+08:00</updated><title type='text'>:)</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;img src="http://i1128.photobucket.com/albums/m493/halusatonaka/tumblr_lkyf4qCuEP1qdbbywo1_500.jpg"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;A smile for all my darlings out there taking their Alevels~ By the end of tomorrow, most of us would have two subjects down and three more to go. Keep calm and carry on babes.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Just a quick post before I go back to studying.Had a super rough night last night with only having 2 hours to sleep.For those who has a dirty mind, it is not what you think .... I was just suffering from insomnia last night and only managed to rest for 2 hours.It was super depressing and stressful for me - just lying there on the bed without anything to do plus the fact that I have a maths paper the next day.Downright hell would be a correct word to describe it.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;BUT, thank God, I managed to stay awake for the entire 3hours. But the paper was quite badly done.A lot of tough questions inside and trust me, I was freaking out the entire time.Gawd.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;That aside, these few days of which I cabbed home after my papers, I realized how friendly taxi drivers can be!Yesterday the uncle asked me about my exam papers and how I did, I guess he overheard Baby and I talking about it.Then he went on to say that his daughter was also from VJC! But she is already 25 years old and he can understand the stress I was going through etc.Hahaha super affable and really encouraging.&lt;br&gt;Today, after my Maths Paper, I was already feeling quite down in the dumps and was thinking of giving up my entire Alevels.Then my mother called me to encourage me and well I started to burst into tears cause I put in damn a lot of effort on maths and yet the paper was DAMN SHITTY.The uncle looked back and saw me crying and so he stopped at a red light and offered me a packet of tissues.&lt;br&gt;I mean the uncle could have minded his own business and just let me sob throughout the journey, but he still offered me some form of encouragement and concern which was quite touching.&lt;br&gt;My faith in humanity has been restored! LOL jk.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;And well, that's all for this post.I hope I can sleep well tonight to prevent anymore outburst .... :(Toodles~&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4321255157550148694-8499429791123361739?l=aristocratsempire.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aristocratsempire.blogspot.com/feeds/8499429791123361739/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://aristocratsempire.blogspot.com/2011/11/blog-post.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4321255157550148694/posts/default/8499429791123361739'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4321255157550148694/posts/default/8499429791123361739'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aristocratsempire.blogspot.com/2011/11/blog-post.html' title=':)'/><author><name>Vanessa</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12177923736916376788</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-VBKHX1i-A6E/TaCWpOiOavI/AAAAAAAAAB0/LAwth6NMg4M/s220/55679_455530758112_522108112_5371428_7979926_o.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4321255157550148694.post-5299696804540476693</id><published>2011-11-07T10:41:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2011-11-11T21:57:48.937+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Online Shopping - Yay or nay?</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;img src="http://i1128.photobucket.com/albums/m493/halusatonaka/tumblr_lr6o8pUjha1qaouvno1_500.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Just something to get my mind off ....&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I've always been a great fan of online-shopping especially during the times when I'm super busy at home studying, or too lazy to go out and shop.And SHOPPING has always been the greatest joy of my life!!! Buying new stuff and getting to use/wear them just makes me go nuts and everything works well with it being therapeutic mentally and physically.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The MAIN pros of shopping online is definitely the convenience and relaxation you get from just sitting on the coach with your laptop in front of you, while you click away whatever you want online. I've been doing that for the past few months since I've got As coming up.In addition, some online shops are easier to access and you get to search for the stuff you want without having to hunt for it down at the shopping mall, unless you know where to get it.&lt;br&gt;And shopping online is a much faster way to get the goods without having the worries of it being out of stock.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;One very good example would be how I went on a tedious journey of shoe-hunting.A few months ago, I was hit by some crazy-spree which made me go bonkers with wedges. AND I SERIOUSLY went around searching for the perfect pair of wedges.Unfortunately, I went down to so many different shoe-shops and none offered the size/color/design I so deeply desired.And this went on for weeks! I searched from Tampines all the way to Orchard and trust me, it was not cool ... Baby and I literally shopped the entire stretch of Orchard just in search for my dear wedges.In the end I managed to find it and oh gosh, it took me forever ... but it wasn't exactly what I imagined it to be, but it was the best shot I could get. So heck, I TOOK IT! :P&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Until... I found the exact pair of my dream-wedges online not too long from then But I didn't buy it since I've already got one pair at home :( At least that pair I bought was quite chio with corsages at the front :)&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;ANYWAYS, online-shopping is definitely one way of technology saying "GO BALLISTIC WOMEN OF EARTH AND SHOP YOUR HEART OUT!"&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Well, besides the pros, I'm here to assess the cons as well, and lately I found online-shopping rather disappointing :(&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;First of all, shopping online means you are giving access to strangers to private information about oneself - credit card numbers, home addresses (for those who wants their stuff delivered back to their doorstep) etc. I don't mind using credit cards on those big online shops with good reputations such as Topshop, Zara, ASOS etc, as they are trust-worthy and MANY people ordered online from them before.On the other hand, those blogshops or Taiwan/Japan/Hongkong sprees, I rather transfer money over to their bank accounts.So shopping online will always give rise to the problem of trust - can I trust this shop? Can I trust this agent? Can I trust this or that or whatever ....&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Another issue faced from online shopping would no doubt be the hassle of not being able to see the item "face-to-face". Think about it - you want to order this dress, but you can't exactly feel the texture of the dress or 'see' how the dress fits you etc. So basically you are gambling a lot on just measurements of the dress and the comparison of your body size to find the optimum size of the dress. Ain't it a hassle? Unless of course you are someone who is in full tune with your body and know every nook and cranny of your body, also remembering your entire measurements from top to bottom, then yea sure you are a professional. But not for me; a person who has a really weird body shape ............... Suited for size US2, but chest will be slightly too tight. So go for US4, but dress will be too big and uncomfortable. Just have to stick with a tight chest and get used to hard breathing. LOL.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Plus the fact that I was looking at Prada totes online, and their bags are mostly identical with a few adjustments here and there on the logo/shape/color/number of pockets etc.And I had a damn hard time deciding which tote to get especially when they all look somewhat identical but their prices differ by at least $500!!! Not to mention the size. So in the end I hard to get out a measuring tape, and I started measuring my Gucci and Chanel tote to get a rough size of how big the Prada tote would be.Kind of stupid if you were to think about it.In addition ... I've no idea the texture of the Prada tote would be like .. How am I suppose to know how Saffiano leather would feel like?Don't get me wrong, I'm not scolding Prada (LOL) ... I'm just pointing out the fact how online shopping can be quite a hassle, of course I should just go to an official Prada store here in Singapore and touch the bags there, but time is of the essence as well since I'm still tied down by As, and I've to get the order down before my As end. So I can't exactly wait till my As end to go to the Prada store, because it would be quite late by then :(&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Moving on!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The worst part of online shopping would be the waiting of course.Some online shops offer next-day-delivery which costs about $80 the least for shipping ... so you opt for the cheaper alternative which is ...... FREE DELIVERY (yes I am very cheapskate.. sue me) .... BUT IT TAKES LIKE FOREVER TO ARRIVE!!!Alright, I am exaggerating ... but it does take very long for your parcel to arrive.And that is the issue I am facing with right now. I've never really experienced this before. Everytime I order online, the parcel will come really fast within the first one and a half week! :) Of course with the exceptions of Taiwan/Japan/Hongkong sprees which takes a range of 2months to 5months to deliver....NOW, I've waited for about 3 weeks for my parcel from this reputable online shop (the name shall not be disclose for privacy issue). And trust me to get something done right, I went to email them about not receiving my order.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;In addition I ordered two parcels from them, of which the second order was dispatched hours after the first order. So by right, the first order was meant to arrive earlier (DUH) than the second one ... HOWEVER, as of now, I've only got the second order which arrived nicely on time. So I got worried, and I emailed their customer service about my delayed parcel. At first they told me to wait for about a week for any delays in the delivery courier .. and I did. But my parcel didn't arrive again ... So I emailed their customer service yet again, this time they told me to wait two weeks!!!! What the frak?! (it's a tbbt thing LOL)I was so pissed off so I contacted the local delivery service here in Singapore and they only remembered delivering my second parcel with no sign of the first parcel anywhere.SO, doesn't that mean that my first parcel is as good as gone?!?!?!?!?! I emailed the customer service with rage like I've never felt before. And they told me to wait 2 weeks again ................................. seriously what the frak, I think by the time 2 weeks have gone by and my parcel is nowhere to be seen, even if they could get me a replacement of my first order, I'm afraid the stuff would be out of stock since the stuff I'm getting are selling like hot cakes!!!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;DAMN. It's so sickening, but yet it is also my fault for partaking in online shopping. Still, if they had a shop here in Singapore, I wouldn't mind going down to the shop itself to shop. But they don't!!!!!!!! It's like H&amp;amp;M ALL OVER AGAIN!!! :( Yes, I used to order from H&amp;amp;M because they didn't have a shop here in Singapore :( WHAT THE HELL.............................................. D:&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;So my dear friends out there, if you want to shop online, I suggest you think twice about these certain issues first before hastily clicking on the "SHOPPING ICON".And yes, I'm still waiting with hopes that my first parcel would arrive safely ... *fingers crossed*Now, I've to go back studying since my papers start on the 9th of November.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Toodles~&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4321255157550148694-5299696804540476693?l=aristocratsempire.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aristocratsempire.blogspot.com/feeds/5299696804540476693/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://aristocratsempire.blogspot.com/2011/11/online-shopping-yay-or-nay.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4321255157550148694/posts/default/5299696804540476693'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4321255157550148694/posts/default/5299696804540476693'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aristocratsempire.blogspot.com/2011/11/online-shopping-yay-or-nay.html' title='Online Shopping - Yay or nay?'/><author><name>Vanessa</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12177923736916376788</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-VBKHX1i-A6E/TaCWpOiOavI/AAAAAAAAAB0/LAwth6NMg4M/s220/55679_455530758112_522108112_5371428_7979926_o.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4321255157550148694.post-8105116031618590533</id><published>2011-11-01T17:51:00.001+08:00</published><updated>2011-11-01T17:51:06.554+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Update.</title><content type='html'>Just a quick update before everybody thinks I'm dead or something ..

Haha like such a small boy.&lt;br /&gt;He smsed me about him being grateful about totally not forgetting about how to do stunts, and he seems to be in pretty tip top shape :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So anyways Baby is also helping Bob and I collect our cheer shoes today, which we had shamelessly ordered along with Gusto. Haha&lt;br /&gt;We trust their taste in looking out for good cheer shoes :) after all they are the champions! Heehee.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bob and I were also saying how much we miss cheering and I'm like definitely going to arrange like 4 trainings every week after my A-levels!!!&lt;br /&gt;No time to slack!!! And it's like I had missed out so many trainings and exercises, I don't even know what the others are training for right now. Hahaha&lt;br /&gt;Besides I am going to miss a lot more trainings in December and maybe early January since I'm going off for a pretty long holiday.. Woos~&lt;br /&gt;And the same goes for bob too!! That lucky boy is going to Europe for the holidays!!!!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;BUT!!!! The worse thing is that Bob is going to be enlisted for NS on the 31st January which means I'm going to miss more cheer trainings with my bimbo-buddy!!!! :(&lt;br /&gt;How sad is that?!?!?!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Damn. Talking about cheering makes me want to reminiscent about the good ole days back when bob and I were so carefree (of course along with my Baby) and how we were always training together be it cheer trainings or a regular gyming day. Sighs*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But that aside, I'm so looking forward to see my new pair of cheer shoes!!! I hope Baby got the right size for Bob and I!!!

Omg and I can't wait for the clothes to arrive, which should be about next Thursday. RETAIL THERAPY~&lt;br /&gt;This time I also ordered a little something different from my usual dresses/accessories. Of course I am not going to disclose anything here on this blog until the packages arrive :)&lt;br /&gt;Heehee.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But yea, as for the usual shopping manic - I bought this super adorable cream vintage chiffon dress with cut-off sleeves, and even Baby said it was nice :) In addition to my flower power collection, I quickly snatched off this Floral Rara skirt as well which was selling fast with my sizes almost all sold out. So thank goodness I got it~~~~ With a damn good price as well! :) And yes, I'm a person who cannot do without any casual easy-going clothes, so to top it off with that, I got myself a pair of brown Eve shorts. The cutting and all are super adorable so I clicked without hesitation! Gosh :P&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Paiseh for not posting up a single picture of the clothes, but I will do so as soon as I have the time! :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This time I ordered everything by myself since I was too lazy to ask anybody else to join in the shopping fiesta .. LOL and I was in a rush for time as well (something like an impromptu shopping lust) ... :P&lt;br /&gt;AND YES, the last time I made a grave mistaken of ordering sizes which are too big, so this time, all my stuff are either the smallest size or they are from the petite section! :) Only worry I have is that my chest might feel slightly tight ... but hey! I rather have a dress my size than to wear something so big and baggy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I also ordered Baby and I a pair of sports watches as knowing how sport-junkies we are, I thought it might be a good thing to carry a pair of watch whenever we go sporting :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;SO I'M OFFICIALLY DECLARING MYSELF BANKRUPT FOR THIS WEEK :P&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On another note, I'm here to wish all my friends in secondary schools ALL THE BEST FOR YOUR OLEVELS! I know it is only one more week till your first paper officially begins, but do not get stressed out! Remember to get plenty of rest and drink plenty of water. Studying overnight for the next few days may put an even greater strain on your productivity and ability to think, so don't study overnight! It will only 'kill' you more. I know that time is of the essence, but the most important factor of scoring well is to keep your mind healthy and fresh 24/7 of your studying period. So don't worry so much and do your very best, and let God do the rest :) Lastly, have faith in yourself and remember that you are not the only one going through it. If you feel stressed out or just plain depressed, call up your fellow friends and talk about your emotions or feelings, it will help to get a lot off your chest! Trust me! :) Of course, you can pray about it to God as well and He will definitely give you peace and serenity.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;SO, ALL THE BEST YOU PEEPS OUT THERE :) This is the last lap of your final year in your secondary school years, give it your 200% and don't give up! :D Jiayous!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Toodles~&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4321255157550148694-2301336609520227553?l=aristocratsempire.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aristocratsempire.blogspot.com/feeds/2301336609520227553/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://aristocratsempire.blogspot.com/2011/10/blog-post.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4321255157550148694/posts/default/2301336609520227553'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4321255157550148694/posts/default/2301336609520227553'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aristocratsempire.blogspot.com/2011/10/blog-post.html' title=':)'/><author><name>Vanessa</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12177923736916376788</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-VBKHX1i-A6E/TaCWpOiOavI/AAAAAAAAAB0/LAwth6NMg4M/s220/55679_455530758112_522108112_5371428_7979926_o.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4321255157550148694.post-5523699490666544765</id><published>2011-10-16T09:00:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2011-10-16T11:23:36.805+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Osaka Town!</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;img src="http://i1128.photobucket.com/albums/m493/halusatonaka/c5fe9236.jpg?t=1318733946" height="335" width="448" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yesterday Baby brought my mother, younger brother and I to Osaka Town for dinner after a whole day of family outing. Hahahaha :)&lt;br /&gt;Baby has been wanting to let my mother try the dishes there cause not only is it damn nice, but the portions are just awesome!&lt;br /&gt;So we arrived around 7.15pm and thank goodness we managed to get a seat cause it was just too damn crowded.&lt;br /&gt;Jo-jo had to go dapao his food as he wanted to catch the soccer match on this wide screen television at Suntec City.&lt;br /&gt;Madness I tell you.&lt;br /&gt;So Baby helped him order beef curry noodles and just the curry alone made me damn hungry. Hahaha :P&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://i1128.photobucket.com/albums/m493/halusatonaka/ec51a8ab.jpg" height="448" width="335" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://i1128.photobucket.com/albums/m493/halusatonaka/8895b9b4.jpg" height="335" width="448" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is the super special dish that Baby has been craving to let my mother try - it has a variety of beef, salmon, chicken with side veggies such as carrots and peas.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;The beef was super tender-licious and not to mention how aromatic the salmon was! I mean I could freaking smell the freshness grilling in it!! 0.0 hahaha. The chicken was nice, but the taste was uncomparable with the beef and salmon.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://i1128.photobucket.com/albums/m493/halusatonaka/ef7e9496.jpg" height="448" width="335" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Heehee, my peach soda~! Can see the special peachy-peachy goodness at the bottom of the glass? Super delightful~&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://i1128.photobucket.com/albums/m493/halusatonaka/dfc0d14e.jpg" height="448" width="335" img="" src="http://i1128.photobucket.com/albums/m493/halusatonaka/779375d6.jpg" height="448" width="335" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My mother wanted to try their crispy gyoza, and it was JUST AWESOME! It was indeed crispy and the fillings inside was damn juicy. Two thumbs up for this awesome dish.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://i1128.photobucket.com/albums/m493/halusatonaka/779375d6.jpg" height="448" width="335" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This dish reminded me of the octopus balls (takoyaki). Inside, they mixed flour, with bacon, squid, and a slight tinge of mashed potato with dazzling fried spring onions dashed at the top of the egg. It was just a whole arena of flavours. I was just stumped by how the taste of so many different types of food come together to array such a wonderful burst of flavours. Simply mouth-watering good! :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://i1128.photobucket.com/albums/m493/halusatonaka/316c0f66.jpg" height="448" width="335" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As for this dish, Baby and I were damn fail as we thought it was a dessert plate, so we ordered it and it so happened to be somewhat the same dish as we ordered previously (the takoyaki one) but the only difference was it had some mochi thingy in it. :P We were too full so we decided to pack this back for my elder brother who was starving/gaming at home. LOL&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All in all, we were damn full at the end. It was like our stomachs were bursting through our clothes but it was definitely a good eat! :) Hahahaha. I'm glad my mother enjoyed it a lot, too bad Jo-jo didn't try our awesome dishes, but he himself had a pretty good dish for himself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And that's all for today~&lt;br /&gt;Heehee, I have to go back studying soon :( Toodles!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4321255157550148694-5523699490666544765?l=aristocratsempire.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aristocratsempire.blogspot.com/feeds/5523699490666544765/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://aristocratsempire.blogspot.com/2011/10/osaka-town.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4321255157550148694/posts/default/5523699490666544765'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4321255157550148694/posts/default/5523699490666544765'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aristocratsempire.blogspot.com/2011/10/osaka-town.html' title='Osaka Town!'/><author><name>Vanessa</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12177923736916376788</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-VBKHX1i-A6E/TaCWpOiOavI/AAAAAAAAAB0/LAwth6NMg4M/s220/55679_455530758112_522108112_5371428_7979926_o.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4321255157550148694.post-1241942426160645653</id><published>2011-10-07T09:44:00.003+08:00</published><updated>2011-10-07T10:12:10.298+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Post of Gratitude.</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;img src="http://i1128.photobucket.com/albums/m493/halusatonaka/tumblr_lqpm8cQlEu1qfwyu2o1_500.png" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In lieu with the upcoming Alevels, I think this may be my last post for the time being till my stupid Alevels are dealt with.&lt;br /&gt;Time sure is passing fast, and in a blink of an eye I'm already preparing to take my Alevels.&lt;br /&gt;Scary.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just want to thank a few people for helping me out throughout my preparation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Melissa;&lt;br /&gt;This girl is just awesome whenever I need some chilling or relaxing. She would always introduce me the best tv-shows/anime/manga to help keep my stress levels in check. Her quirky-fun attitude has never failed to bring laughter and joy despite how devious the situation may look like and having her around me throughout my jc life has really been an eye-opener for me. Thank you girl, for bringing smiles wherever you go :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Chengling;&lt;br /&gt;I want to thank her for helping me collect all my notes and whatnots and keeping me updated of various school events. She has always been one who knows how to encourage and help people along the way and I am really grateful for that. Despite doing so much, she never asks for anything in return, and I just want to thank her for always being the selfless one :) You have a true inspiration for being a great friend and an awesome motivator.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mother;&lt;br /&gt;Thanks mum for always being there for me emotionally and spiritually. Whenever I'm feeling down, she will know how to keep my spirits up by encouraging me and praying for me. Even though, I've always let her down one way or another, she never scold me or reprimand me scornfully. She will always have a smile or a stern-look on her face, telling me that it is never too late to pick up the pieces in my life. Not giving up means winning half of the battle. Thank you so much mother for never losing faith in me :) I really am grateful for being that bright shining light at the end of the tunnel for me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Baby;&lt;br /&gt;This guy is really a super rare type of boyfriend. I seriously think that my life would be like crap if I didn't meet him. He has sacrificed countless nights and sleep just to accompany me in my times of desperation. When my parents are not around, he makes sure that he helps me out emotionally, and that I was alright 24/7. Even though he is not used to encouraging a person, but he never fails to do so whenever I break down. Knowing this, I'm truly grateful for having him so close to me. Whenever I feel inadequate, he steps in to help boost my morale. Whenever I feel lost, he steps in to guide me through. Thank you so much Baby for helping me scale all difficulties thus far, but there is more to come. Even so, I just want to thank you for everything you have done for me :) I love you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are a lot of other people whom I want to thank too - my family whom have always provided a shelter be it emotionally or physically, to let me know that despite at my wits end, I still have a place to go to seek refuge. And in such time of need, I am genuinely grateful for that fact.&lt;br /&gt;- my friends for always encouraging me and motivating me to go on despite being met at a dead end, and of course bringing laughter in my life too :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thank you all so much.&lt;br /&gt;Here, I shall end my post.&lt;br /&gt;And I pray that I will survive the next two months of terror. The road may be tedious, but at the end, there will be this sweet sense of satisfaction knowing that I have conquered it.&lt;br /&gt;Whatever happens from today onwards, I wish myself all the best :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Toodles~&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4321255157550148694-1241942426160645653?l=aristocratsempire.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aristocratsempire.blogspot.com/feeds/1241942426160645653/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://aristocratsempire.blogspot.com/2011/10/post-of-gratitude.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4321255157550148694/posts/default/1241942426160645653'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4321255157550148694/posts/default/1241942426160645653'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aristocratsempire.blogspot.com/2011/10/post-of-gratitude.html' title='Post of Gratitude.'/><author><name>Vanessa</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12177923736916376788</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-VBKHX1i-A6E/TaCWpOiOavI/AAAAAAAAAB0/LAwth6NMg4M/s220/55679_455530758112_522108112_5371428_7979926_o.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4321255157550148694.post-4687482606283674435</id><published>2011-09-29T23:36:00.005+08:00</published><updated>2011-09-30T00:29:10.416+08:00</updated><title type='text'>16thMonth.</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;img src="http://i1128.photobucket.com/albums/m493/halusatonaka/tumblr_lql939QjK21qeosc5o1_500.png" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;16 MONTHS! :) Baby and I have been together for 16months!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hahaha :) Amazing ain't it?&lt;br /&gt;Well actually tomorrow marks the date, but since Baby has a Gusto birthday celebration to attend to. Hahahaha. (Emphasis on the GUSTO because he is damn elated to be able to catch up with his cheerleading friends once again .. hahaha adorable)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;SO ANYWAYS, I met up with Baby at Orchard MRT station where we went for dinner.&lt;br /&gt;I had a craving for Sushi, so we went to Itacho Sushi!&lt;br /&gt;Since Baby had a pretty late lunch, we shared our meal together :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://i1128.photobucket.com/albums/m493/halusatonaka/71889033.jpg" height="335" width="448" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Our main dish was this Curry Roasted Chicken Rice :) The curry is simple delectable~! BLISS~~~~~ Hahahaha. Baby made sure that the curry did not soiled the taste of the roasted chicken SO ....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://i1128.photobucket.com/albums/m493/halusatonaka/882b5a4b.jpg" height="448" width="335" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He took out the roasted chicken first before mixing the curry in with the rice. And he made a absolutely good choice. If not, you won't be able to taste the crunchiness texture of the chicken :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://i1128.photobucket.com/albums/m493/halusatonaka/c50ef591.jpg" height="448" width="335" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And this was Baby's choice of sushi. It is called Eel Spring Roll. Gosh, at first I thought Baby made a pretty bad choice choosing eel since I don't particularly eat eel, but this dish is just simply finger-licking! In the roll, the flesh is mixed nicely with a good proportion of cucumber and a slice of tamago - just in the right ratio, the taste was brought out magnificently!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://i1128.photobucket.com/albums/m493/halusatonaka/0838c11a.jpg" height="335" width="448" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My choice of sushi was fatty tuna~!!!!! :) Heehee. SUPER AWESOME PLEASE! It tastes significantly better than the normal tuna. Hahaha. In addition, I'm a HUGE TUNA FAN, so this dish greatly pleases me!!! :) Of course fatty tuna was super fresh and they chilled it before which practically led me to having a mouth-orgasm. :P&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://i1128.photobucket.com/albums/m493/halusatonaka/846d46bc.jpg" height="448" width="335" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is NOT SAKE! Hahaha yes the name on the glass may be slightly misleading, but this is just plain Heaven&amp;amp;Earth Ice Lemon Tea, another one of my many favourites :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And that concludes our dinner .. LIKE REAL! HAHAHAHA.&lt;br /&gt;Along Orchard, there is always a few ice cream vendors who sell super cheap ice cream!&lt;br /&gt;Baby and I never miss out eating the Mint Chocolate with Bread whenever we shop at Orchard. Heehee :) and it only costs $1!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG.&lt;br /&gt;So anyways, after our small dessert, we made our way to Takashimaya where Baby finally bought his Mont Blanc pen!&lt;br /&gt;It was damn nice ahhhh.. even I feel like having one.&lt;br /&gt;But using that in exams is a bit "hao lian" hahahahaha :P&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://i1128.photobucket.com/albums/m493/halusatonaka/7c1d2e76.jpg" height="335" width="448" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The name of the pen is actually Meisterstuck Montblanc Diamond LeGrand Ballpoint Pen.&lt;br /&gt;HAHAHAHAHA well it is made in Germany, thus the long name :P&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://i1128.photobucket.com/albums/m493/halusatonaka/e599fc20.jpg" height="335" width="448" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Plus, there is this perfectly craved diamond at the top of the pen that defines the signature Montblanc logo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you ask me, it is actually quite amazing :)&lt;br /&gt;And Baby gracefully spent about 1k+ on this pen. LOL.&lt;br /&gt;I would never spend so much on stationaries...... Seriously. Hahaha :P&lt;br /&gt;Pilot G2 Pens have always been my writing companions since Secondary School and will probably stay this way till I get into the working industry.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After Baby's shopping, we went around shopping for my winter boots, unfortunately, we didn't find any at H&amp;amp;M or even Zara ... so heck. In the end we just went home.&lt;br /&gt;Hahahaha.&lt;br /&gt;The funny thing about today is that I finally got to try on my super chio yet damn high wedges and because I'm not used to being at such high level, I kept losing my balance. HAHAHAHA.&lt;br /&gt;It was damn funny. People around me kept laughing at Baby and I because whenever I lost my balance, Baby would end up in some funny position trying to catch me. Hahahaha.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Even though, today shopping trip was quite fail for me, but Baby had lots of fun and he is definitely super satisfied with his purchase right now. :) Hahaha silly boy.&lt;br /&gt;As for me, I got to eat awesome sushi! Hahaha.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://i1128.photobucket.com/albums/m493/halusatonaka/818f761b.jpg" height="448" width="335" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To my dearest Baby, Happy 16th Month Anniversary!! :) We have definitely come a long way since one year plus ago where you were struggling to get on good terms with your petty bitch boss, but now you finally found a business where you are comfortable with and having good clients that surrounds you. Hahaha. I'm really proud of you because seeing you find joy in working with good honest people makes me really inspired to do my best despite the odds. I find great pride in having you as my boyfriend, seeing how you persevered through so many hardships, disappointments and scoldings, and finally blooming and soaring high at the end of all those rough spots.

I can eat it for one whole week without feeling sick of it. I'M DEAD SERIOUS! :D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;SO anyways, Baby brought me to Sakae Sushi at Bugis to try it out :)&lt;br /&gt;And it was just magnificent I tell ya.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://i1128.photobucket.com/albums/m493/halusatonaka/a9e64048.jpg?t=1316873160" height="448" width="335" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is the one I ordered - salmon baked. Can you see the shiitake bubbling from the bottom of the bowl? :) Bliss~ So anyways this is something like a hot plate.. only difference is that it is being served on a bowl. Under the bowl, there is this small stove which helps cooks the meal, and rest assure, the paper is of a material that doesn't burn easily and it helps to filter the soup to make it fresh!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://i1128.photobucket.com/albums/m493/halusatonaka/70ea9f34.jpg?t=1316873164" height="335" width="448" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And here we have Baby's meal! He ordered such a HUGE set and it is super worth it! They have chawamushi, salmon, fried tofu etc... Amazing isn't it? And the best thing is that this meal is actually for two people ... because seriously it is TOO DAMN BIG.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://i1128.photobucket.com/albums/m493/halusatonaka/1c0ba1ec.jpg?t=1316873163" height="448" width="335" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And of course no meal is complete without my tamago sushi :) Heehee.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://i1128.photobucket.com/albums/m493/halusatonaka/6186bb78.jpg?t=1316873163" height="448" width="335" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Check out my classic apple-peach juice. Super chio bottle right? Hahahaha it's going to be my new water bottle from now onwards :) And yes it tastes awesome too!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://i1128.photobucket.com/albums/m493/halusatonaka/2deb1d1d.jpg?t=1316873159" height="448" width="335" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No day is complete without a picture of the two of us~♥ Awwwwww...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ohright, and another thing I forgot to mention was ... Baby and I watched Johnny English Reborn on the first day it was aired~ Omg :) Heavenly. Thank goodness Baby managed to secure tickets online with extra charge of course :( But heck!&lt;br /&gt;IT was bloody amazing~! HILARIOUS throughout the whole movie.&lt;br /&gt;Baby was laughing hysterically like 90% through the movie, along with other people in the cinema.&lt;br /&gt;Hahahahaha. I give it a definite 9.5/10!!!!!!&lt;br /&gt;Rowan Atkinson has always been one of my favourite comedy actors even since the debut of Mr.Bean Classics, along Mr.Bean Animation and even the movie.&lt;br /&gt;Now along with two action-kick-ass Johnny English movies, he just gets even more amazing every moment.&lt;br /&gt;He is like a living legend of Charlie Chaplin - without having the need to speak, he is able to relay and portray his every emotions, thoughts through his actions fluently (Mr.Bean) ... it is just mind-blowing.&lt;br /&gt;And in Johnny English, being given a voice (he has a freaking beautiful British accent!) he shone even brightly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;SO!!!! EVERYONE SHOULD DEFINITELY GO AND CATCH JOHNNY ENGLISH REBORN!!! GOGOGOGO~ :)&lt;br /&gt;:D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Toodles~&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4321255157550148694-1710343886058422459?l=aristocratsempire.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aristocratsempire.blogspot.com/feeds/1710343886058422459/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://aristocratsempire.blogspot.com/2011/09/sakaesushi.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4321255157550148694/posts/default/1710343886058422459'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4321255157550148694/posts/default/1710343886058422459'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aristocratsempire.blogspot.com/2011/09/sakaesushi.html' title='SakaeSushi.'/><author><name>Vanessa</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12177923736916376788</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-VBKHX1i-A6E/TaCWpOiOavI/AAAAAAAAAB0/LAwth6NMg4M/s220/55679_455530758112_522108112_5371428_7979926_o.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4321255157550148694.post-8321262797942516711</id><published>2011-09-19T22:24:00.004+08:00</published><updated>2011-09-21T09:32:35.056+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Monday-Marche~</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;img src="http://i1128.photobucket.com/albums/m493/halusatonaka/tumblr_lr7hfxchVO1qd8mh0o1_500.png" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;" A mood that fully explains what I'm feeling right now ~ Blissful ~ "&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today was a super eventful day~ Heehee.&lt;br /&gt;Even though the weekend has already passed by like the wind, I'm still quite in the holiday mood.&lt;br /&gt;Mainly because my last paper is Physics MCQs and it is on a WEDNESDAY.&lt;br /&gt;Yep, which means I've one more day of sleeping in late ... zzzzzzzzzzzzz&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyways, today I woke up quite early in the morning to have breakfast with Baby.&lt;br /&gt;Then he headed off the work while I made my way to Orchard road to study at Starbux.&lt;br /&gt;Baby already signed some membership card at Starbux which I was entitled to a free drink today!&lt;br /&gt;Lucky~&lt;br /&gt;So I had my usual Green Tea Latte! Utter bliss.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Baby knocked off from work early after meeting with his lawyer and then we met at Wisma where we went on shoe-shopping!(mainly me actually!)&lt;br /&gt;Lately, I've been super fascinated by wedges and I'm like dying to buy those summer-kind of wedges - types which you can wear with a long maxi dress~&lt;br /&gt;Heehee.&lt;br /&gt;The last time I checked, Aldo has some pretty neat selections but not the ones I'm thinking of.&lt;br /&gt;Then Mimosa at Fareast Plaza has tons of those I have in mind :)&lt;br /&gt;But the quality is not as good.&lt;br /&gt;So I'm torn between having good quality but not the ones I'm looking for, or having bad quality for the shoes that I'm dying to have.&lt;br /&gt;D:&lt;br /&gt;Then Baby reassured me ... "The more expensive one is always the best."&lt;br /&gt;Sure why not? LOL.&lt;br /&gt;So I kept the Aldo one in check for my next shopping galore~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dinner time came quick as we were like starving (or it was just me LOL) ... So Baby and I headed to ................. MARCHE at 313!&lt;br /&gt;I had their take-aways before and it was super delicious.&lt;br /&gt;And it left me craving for more.&lt;br /&gt;This time I brought Baby along to enjoy :)&lt;br /&gt;The thing that left a really long lasting impression on me was their toilets.&lt;br /&gt;SUPER HIGH TECH LEH!!&lt;br /&gt;The moment you walk near the toilet, the door swings open for you.&lt;br /&gt;Hahahahaha :)&lt;br /&gt;Beside that, their toilet design was really fitting of their restaurant interior.&lt;br /&gt;They have that homely swiss market feel to it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyways Marche utilized this card-by-payment method, in which they lay out their food like what they do in a buffet, and they have really cute chalkboards as menus at the side.&lt;br /&gt;So you order your food and they will just swipe the card you are given at the counter the moment you step into the restaurant.&lt;br /&gt;Super efficient I tell you.&lt;br /&gt;And if the food needs time to cook, they will pass you this weird-looking UFO gizmo that states your order.&lt;br /&gt;Baby ordered the lamb rack which was cooked to perfection.&lt;br /&gt;I am one who doesn't really eat lamb, but this time .. ohgosh, I have to make an exception.&lt;br /&gt;It was just TOO GOOD!!!!!!!&lt;br /&gt;I ordered the salmon steak and gosh, another dish done to perfection.&lt;br /&gt;The meat was so tender that once you sliced through it, the meat simply 'falls' apart - so fragile yet so juicy.&lt;br /&gt;And the skin was cripsy, which makes it even more delectable~ Oh bliss.&lt;br /&gt;Here are some pictures to make illustrating easier :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://i1128.photobucket.com/albums/m493/halusatonaka/2957c37d.jpg?t=1316437574" height="383" width="512" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here is the lamb rack....

LOL.&lt;br /&gt;ANYWAYS, Baby saw a few nice cloaks he liked a lot which yours truly did the favor of picking it out :) It was somewhat similar to the previous cloak he bought for our last year trip (same price somemore sia), but the color and the cutting was slightly different.&lt;br /&gt;He was so immersed in it that he wanted to buy it straight away!&lt;br /&gt;Omg, impulse-shopper man! I told him to wait for a while, perhaps some new/better design might appear soon since the winter season clothing should be arriving to Singapore soon.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After that, we headed home quite early since Baby have to wake up around 2am to fetch his client from the airport.&lt;br /&gt;It is a super important client and he must definitely foster good co-relations with him.&lt;br /&gt;And I like this client of his very much because he is not only a super affable guy, but he is definitely a very good and reliable business partner :)&lt;br /&gt;Jiayou Baby!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And that is the end of my post for today~&lt;br /&gt;Heehee, toodles!!&lt;br /&gt;:D&lt;br /&gt;I love my Baby~!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4321255157550148694-8321262797942516711?l=aristocratsempire.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aristocratsempire.blogspot.com/feeds/8321262797942516711/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://aristocratsempire.blogspot.com/2011/09/monday-marche.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4321255157550148694/posts/default/8321262797942516711'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4321255157550148694/posts/default/8321262797942516711'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aristocratsempire.blogspot.com/2011/09/monday-marche.html' title='Monday-Marche~'/><author><name>Vanessa</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12177923736916376788</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-VBKHX1i-A6E/TaCWpOiOavI/AAAAAAAAAB0/LAwth6NMg4M/s220/55679_455530758112_522108112_5371428_7979926_o.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4321255157550148694.post-475886874269307600</id><published>2011-09-14T22:30:00.001+08:00</published><updated>2011-09-14T22:30:06.186+08:00</updated><title type='text'>LoveyDovey~</title><content type='html'>My Baby was asking me why I didn't blog today so I shall write a short simple post just for him.. :) in Chinese somemore!! :D&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;嗨我亲爱的宝贝！&lt;br/&gt;我非常超级爱爱你~&lt;br/&gt;很期待能在十二月跟你一起旅行，一起去香港也一起去中国。&lt;br/&gt;为了我们两人能好好过假期，我会加倍努力，好好考完我的 Alvls！&lt;br/&gt;你也是要好好赚钱所以你去旅行的时候不用那么担心工作上的事情。&lt;br/&gt;我的爱爱，这几天内 看到你做工那么开心 真的让我放心+为你感觉骄傲。&lt;br/&gt;我也会好好给你看我＂认真＂的样子－冲着我的Alvls。&lt;br/&gt;谢谢你给我的鼓励加多多的抱抱~&lt;br/&gt;我爱你我超级大帅哥 :)&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4321255157550148694-475886874269307600?l=aristocratsempire.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aristocratsempire.blogspot.com/feeds/475886874269307600/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://aristocratsempire.blogspot.com/2011/09/loveydovey.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4321255157550148694/posts/default/475886874269307600'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4321255157550148694/posts/default/475886874269307600'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aristocratsempire.blogspot.com/2011/09/loveydovey.html' title='LoveyDovey~'/><author><name>Vanessa</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12177923736916376788</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-VBKHX1i-A6E/TaCWpOiOavI/AAAAAAAAAB0/LAwth6NMg4M/s220/55679_455530758112_522108112_5371428_7979926_o.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4321255157550148694.post-8194638938308446489</id><published>2011-09-13T19:50:00.004+08:00</published><updated>2011-09-13T20:04:20.044+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Exhausted..</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;img src="http://i1128.photobucket.com/albums/m493/halusatonaka/557f920b.jpg" width="512" height="382" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Had quite a rough week so far :(&lt;br /&gt;Prelims is killing me and I keep telling myself that I've to buck up even more for the A-levels.&lt;br /&gt;I guess I was quite disappointed especially for Maths, when I used up like 90% of my time practising for maths :(&lt;br /&gt;But anyways, I can't give up .. not now not ever! :P&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On a lighter note, during the September Holidays, I got to meet some of Baby's other friends in Singapore.&lt;br /&gt;Well it was his friend's fiancée birthday so he invited Baby and I along~&lt;br /&gt;(I tell you .. I think more than 98% of Baby's friends are getting married/already married, of course the 2% will consist of his students ...... )&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We had dinner at an Asian restaurant somewhere in Kallang, and I was like 'lost' for most of their conversations, because they talk real fast and everything was in Chinese.&lt;br /&gt;Hahahaha. But it was still a funny experience.&lt;br /&gt;Baby's friends are all really good-drinkers and they always have this custom where they would always bring up a toast about something/someone and everybody/selected few will have to cheer and drink.&lt;br /&gt;It was my first time seeing Baby got so drunk ...

HAHAHAHA.&lt;br /&gt;And overall the celebration was a major success, and I was actually laughing a lot (at the parts which I understood their jokes/conversation ..)&lt;br /&gt;To see a group of adults drunk and making merry was indeed a rare sight since I've been sober almost all my life except for a few incidences.&lt;br /&gt;Haha, and young punks who thinks they look cool getting drunk are just plain stupid, but these adults I've been with.&lt;br /&gt;Woah .. they are really super fun to hang around with :)&lt;br /&gt;Heehee.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Right, besides that birthday celebration being one of my most memorable days ...&lt;br /&gt;Today was yet another wonderful day.&lt;br /&gt;Baby and I finally got the time together to have dinner outside.&lt;br /&gt;Well it wasn't a huge feast, but it was at IKEA!!! :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And Baby has been doing really well in his business that I feel really proud and happy for him.&lt;br /&gt;Last time he used to dread doing stuff for his boss because his boss was some petty old hag and kept letting him do most of the labor with minimum pay, but now when he is earning money by his own effort, he seems really chirpy and happy most of the time :) Which makes me super happy too~&lt;br /&gt;Heehee.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;SO ANYWAYS, Baby and I went to IKEA somewhat early to skip the dinner crowd and we had our usual with our lovely meatballs. Heehee.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://i1128.photobucket.com/albums/m493/halusatonaka/5aa83089.jpg" height="412" width="512" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After eating, we didn't explore IKEA like we used to, we just headed back home pretty fast.&lt;br /&gt;I guess Baby is feeling tired as well, after he accompanied me for 2 straight days to school early in the morning...&lt;br /&gt;And he always has this bad habit of sleeping super late at night, which makes him look like some living-dead the next morning.&lt;br /&gt;My super cutie-pie :) Heheee. No words can ever express my gratitude for him :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One last picture before I go off to study for my next paper!~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://i1128.photobucket.com/albums/m493/halusatonaka/2fdc5ac5.jpg" height="512" width="382" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thank you my dearest sweetest Baby~ I love you!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4321255157550148694-8194638938308446489?l=aristocratsempire.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aristocratsempire.blogspot.com/feeds/8194638938308446489/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://aristocratsempire.blogspot.com/2011/09/exhausted.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4321255157550148694/posts/default/8194638938308446489'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4321255157550148694/posts/default/8194638938308446489'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aristocratsempire.blogspot.com/2011/09/exhausted.html' title='Exhausted..'/><author><name>Vanessa</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12177923736916376788</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-VBKHX1i-A6E/TaCWpOiOavI/AAAAAAAAAB0/LAwth6NMg4M/s220/55679_455530758112_522108112_5371428_7979926_o.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4321255157550148694.post-5218313805415070076</id><published>2011-09-08T22:30:00.002+08:00</published><updated>2011-09-08T22:52:35.265+08:00</updated><title type='text'>HongKong~!</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;img src="http://i1128.photobucket.com/albums/m493/halusatonaka/tumblr_lr6pzypFqM1qzt0eio1_500.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'M GOING TO HONG KONG BITCHES!!!!&lt;br /&gt;AND CHINA AND JAPAN~!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!&lt;br /&gt;:)&lt;br /&gt;Heehee.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Actually I'm going to Hong Kong with my family + Baby (well my parents are sponsoring my share, but Baby has to pay on his own LOL!), and then as they head back to Singapore, Baby and I will make our way to China to visit his family :)&lt;br /&gt;Of course, we are still not sure about the Japan trip yet since Baby has to confirm with his family, but I'm guessing I will be spending my Christmas in China/Japan depending on how long the whole trip is going to take ...&lt;br /&gt;If I'm not wrong, my parents are thinking of flying off around 12th of December, which is already really close to Christmas :P&lt;br /&gt;And it is really cold in December be it Hong Kong, China or Japan!&lt;br /&gt;Heehee, more winter clothes shopping for me~&lt;br /&gt;Wheeeees~!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyways, putting all holiday spirit aside ..

Hahahaha, with some mild sexual themes, but hey! No harm in those :)&lt;br /&gt;I love Steve Carell in this movie because besides being up to his crazy antics, this show brings out a matured side of him which I've never seen before.&lt;br /&gt;There is this major twist plot in the movie which I am not going to share it here, but once you know about it, it's like a MAJOR MIND F*CK. HAHA :)&lt;br /&gt;Baby and I were in awed throughout this entire movie.&lt;br /&gt;Not only was it filled with laughter, but it had some "oh shit", "what the f*ck" and definitely "awwwww" moments which will leave you screaming for more.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Overall I would definitely recommend couples to watch this because it is a whacky upside down kind of romance show and the ending is to die for :)&lt;br /&gt;Of course I also do recommend singles to watch this as well as it is a comedy and it shows that true love is not dead, so don't give up fighting for your soul mate! (got that line from the show itself heehee)&lt;br /&gt;I'm so glad Baby chose this movie to watch :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I love you Baby~ :)&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4321255157550148694-5649039597287878156?l=aristocratsempire.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aristocratsempire.blogspot.com/feeds/5649039597287878156/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://aristocratsempire.blogspot.com/2011/09/crazy-stupid-love.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4321255157550148694/posts/default/5649039597287878156'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4321255157550148694/posts/default/5649039597287878156'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aristocratsempire.blogspot.com/2011/09/crazy-stupid-love.html' title='Crazy, Stupid, Love.'/><author><name>Vanessa</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12177923736916376788</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-VBKHX1i-A6E/TaCWpOiOavI/AAAAAAAAAB0/LAwth6NMg4M/s220/55679_455530758112_522108112_5371428_7979926_o.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4321255157550148694.post-4549788132802285836</id><published>2011-09-05T12:20:00.004+08:00</published><updated>2011-09-05T13:17:01.253+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Online Shopping.</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;img src="http://i1128.photobucket.com/albums/m493/halusatonaka/tumblr_lf82kbLmNv1qzkfbpo1_500.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The school holidays are finally here!!&lt;br /&gt;:D&lt;br /&gt;Heehee. But sadly I've Prelims coming up after my holidays ...&lt;br /&gt;BUMMER.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But it's alright I guess :P&lt;br /&gt;Anyways, my ASOS orders are finally sent through and I'll be getting my items soon~! :)&lt;br /&gt;Heehee.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I can't wait for my first batch to arrive~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://i1128.photobucket.com/albums/m493/halusatonaka/image1l.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My Paul's Boutique White Leopard Flower Molly bag!! Super chio ;) Heehee.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://i1128.photobucket.com/albums/m493/halusatonaka/image1xl-1.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And this Mini Dress with Vintage Floral Prints :D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The good thing about ASOS is that it is super reliable and they are really affable.&lt;br /&gt;They also provide information as to how to measure and determine the correct dress sizes for everybody so that you won't buy the wrong one.&lt;br /&gt;In addition, they only take three days to process your order and another 10 days at most to fly your orders through a trust-worthy carrier service to Singapore.&lt;br /&gt;Of course it depends on what kind of delivery mode you choose within ASOS.&lt;br /&gt;If you choose the STANDARD delivery then yes it takes about 10 days to ship in.&lt;br /&gt;If you choose the EXPRESS delivery, it takes about 4 days to ship over with extra cost of 20 British pounds, which is quite ex for someone like me D: hahaha.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I guess it is better than buying from taiwan/korean spress as they take like forever to process one's orders and another life time to send the orders over.&lt;br /&gt;The longest which I have ever waited was like 4 months and at that time, I already had forgotten what I ordered .. -.-"&lt;br /&gt;Of course I am not discouraging anyone from ordering from taiwan/korean sprees, as I myself still indulge myself in that ... LOL.&lt;br /&gt;But I'm just saying that ASOS has a more efficient service-line.&lt;br /&gt;It also depends on a person's taste in fashion/clothes ..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And ordering from ASOS is pretty simple, just have to sign up your own account with an email address you use on a daily basis and not those with over 1k emails which are marked 'unread'.&lt;br /&gt;Then you have to fill in your home particulars such as your address and which country you currently reside in.&lt;br /&gt;The hardest part I felt was choosing which method of payment as they had quite a few options from Mastercard to UOB etc ...&lt;br /&gt;So I chose my Baby's credit card.&lt;br /&gt;Just fill in those particulars as well and you are well on your way to buying lots and lots of clothes.&lt;br /&gt;Of course do remember to state your billing address too if not you will be blacklisted by your bank if you do not pay on time ... LOL&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The adverse side of ordering from ASOS is that the clothes there have sizes, like what I stated before, but for the korean/taiwan sprees, most of their clothes are free sizes which are somewhat better for a person like me with weird body proportions.&lt;br /&gt;Even though my waistline is a US size 2, but my boobs are US size 6-8, and my butt is just .... -.-" hahaha.&lt;br /&gt;Bleh.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyways, that aside my second batch of orders just finally got shipped out today and will arrive around 16 or 19 of September because they don't ship during the weekends D:&lt;br /&gt;Ahhhhh ... I'm like super hoping my orders will fly quicker :(&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Toodles~&lt;br /&gt;(My darling and ever so cute Baby was telling me how sad he was that I no longer mentioned the ending footnote of "I love Baby ttm" etc, like what I did for my previous posts. LOL. So to appease him, I'm writing one now! :)&lt;br /&gt;I love my Baby ttm~&lt;br /&gt;Hahaha.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4321255157550148694-4549788132802285836?l=aristocratsempire.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aristocratsempire.blogspot.com/feeds/4549788132802285836/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://aristocratsempire.blogspot.com/2011/09/online-shopping.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4321255157550148694/posts/default/4549788132802285836'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4321255157550148694/posts/default/4549788132802285836'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aristocratsempire.blogspot.com/2011/09/online-shopping.html' title='Online Shopping.'/><author><name>Vanessa</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12177923736916376788</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-VBKHX1i-A6E/TaCWpOiOavI/AAAAAAAAAB0/LAwth6NMg4M/s220/55679_455530758112_522108112_5371428_7979926_o.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4321255157550148694.post-663742531630750956</id><published>2011-09-01T09:23:00.001+08:00</published><updated>2011-09-01T09:23:26.894+08:00</updated><title type='text'>lovuuuuloveuuu :)</title><content type='html'>I LOVE CHEN CHENG :)&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4321255157550148694-663742531630750956?l=aristocratsempire.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aristocratsempire.blogspot.com/feeds/663742531630750956/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://aristocratsempire.blogspot.com/2011/09/lovuuuuloveuuu.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4321255157550148694/posts/default/663742531630750956'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4321255157550148694/posts/default/663742531630750956'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aristocratsempire.blogspot.com/2011/09/lovuuuuloveuuu.html' title='lovuuuuloveuuu :)'/><author><name>Vanessa</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12177923736916376788</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-VBKHX1i-A6E/TaCWpOiOavI/AAAAAAAAAB0/LAwth6NMg4M/s220/55679_455530758112_522108112_5371428_7979926_o.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4321255157550148694.post-2041478284394497570</id><published>2011-08-29T17:41:00.002+08:00</published><updated>2011-08-29T18:00:39.213+08:00</updated><title type='text'>BK.</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;img src="http://i1128.photobucket.com/albums/m493/halusatonaka/fe7dc01e-1.jpg" height="382" width="512" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Went to study at Simei Burger King with Malcolm boyboy and his friends :)&lt;br /&gt;Kevin was there too! Hahahaha. It has been quite a while since I last saw that joker.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Was supposed to meet boyboy at Tampines Mrt around 12noon but I left late, so I thought I was super late, but it turns out that he was the one that was SUPER late.&lt;br /&gt;Hahaha. I walked around the three malls at Tampines there and he finally came!&lt;br /&gt;Apparently he gymed until quite late, so by the time he left the house and all, it was already like 12.30pm :P&lt;br /&gt;We went to Simei together where we met up with Kevin at BK.&lt;br /&gt;I went to buy my awesome Green Tea latte from Starbucks near there and was super duper elated that I finally got to satisfy my cravings :)&lt;br /&gt;Baby was the one who sponsored this green tea latte because he stole my egg during breakfast, so he owed me one! Hehheh.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then three of their friends came along and studied as well..&lt;br /&gt;I was feeling quite dizzy from not eating lunch and just relying on the latte to keep me full, so I decided to walk around to clear my head for a while, I also wanted to get some stationaries as well.&lt;br /&gt;It was then, I really have to conclude that Simei East Point Mall really has nothing at all!&lt;br /&gt;Not one nice shop that sells decent clothes like Topshop or even Esprit.&lt;br /&gt;UNTIL, I saw something that caught my very eye ... A shop which most kiasu, cheapskate Singaporean would love!&lt;br /&gt;DAISO!!!&lt;br /&gt;Omg, one of my most favourite Japan shops ever!&lt;br /&gt;Everything in there sells for $2 and I can just shop in there for hours and hours~ Heehee.&lt;br /&gt;Before I knew that Daiso was going to open in Simei, the nearest Daiso I can ever think of is the one at Plaza Singapura, and that is not even remotely close!&lt;br /&gt;Dhoby Ghaut eh! HELLO! D:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;SO I WAS NEARLY IN TEARS when I saw Daiso was going to open in Simei.&lt;br /&gt;Finally somewhere that is near to Tampines. Oh thank the heavens~! :)&lt;br /&gt;I love Daiso because they sell really awesome arts and crafts materials ranging form soft fabric to wonderful smooth felt to really beautiful glitter art.&lt;br /&gt;I LOVE IT THERE.&lt;br /&gt;And normally those materials don't come cheap even at Spotlight etc.&lt;br /&gt;So, yes, anyone who loves arts and crafts can feel my pain when I don't have a Daiso close to home :(&lt;br /&gt;Heehee.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyways, I continued walking about Simei and when I returned from my journey, boyboy joked about having what Singapore sale and that I was lost in it.&lt;br /&gt;Harhar.&lt;br /&gt;Hahahahahaha :P&lt;br /&gt;We continued studying till 5plus, where my hunger pangs are really getting to me so I decided to call my dad to fetch me.&lt;br /&gt;I left BK around 5.30pm and here I am home where dinner is finally served piping hot :D&lt;br /&gt;Later, I might go and run with Boyboy depending on the weather and our moods, because seriously few people can still be in the mood to exercising after a long day of studying D:&lt;br /&gt;Stressed ttm I tell ya.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Baby ain't with me the entire day today .. not even for dinner :( Because he has a lot on his plate for work today.&lt;br /&gt;BUT, the amazing thing is that one of his very close clients gave him a 100k 'factory' under his name and this goes to show how much he trusts my baby!&lt;br /&gt;Can you believe it?! My goodness.&lt;br /&gt;Hahahaha. And he is with this client right now, discussing with a lawyer about further plans of theirs.&lt;br /&gt;So if it is for a good cause, I guess I can just close one eye and let him have his own fun. Hahahaha :P&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So that's all, my teeth are aching to sink themselves into my delicious dinner.&lt;br /&gt;Toodles~&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4321255157550148694-2041478284394497570?l=aristocratsempire.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aristocratsempire.blogspot.com/feeds/2041478284394497570/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://aristocratsempire.blogspot.com/2011/08/bk.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4321255157550148694/posts/default/2041478284394497570'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4321255157550148694/posts/default/2041478284394497570'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aristocratsempire.blogspot.com/2011/08/bk.html' title='BK.'/><author><name>Vanessa</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12177923736916376788</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-VBKHX1i-A6E/TaCWpOiOavI/AAAAAAAAAB0/LAwth6NMg4M/s220/55679_455530758112_522108112_5371428_7979926_o.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4321255157550148694.post-8225086172895473786</id><published>2011-08-28T15:50:00.008+08:00</published><updated>2011-08-28T16:48:25.140+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Peekture Apps~</title><content type='html'>Are you bored of plain, unglam, so-not-interesting, distorted pictures?&lt;br /&gt;Or have you ever tried beautifying your pictures but somehow fail to do so due to the lack of experience on photoshop etc?&lt;br /&gt;Well, I'm glad to say that your worries are all put to rest as I am here to share the good news to all my readers out there! :)&lt;br /&gt;Even for a photoshop-n00b like me, editing pictures is now more simple and on-the-go for all those of you Apple fans out there.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm literally addicted to 'beautifying' my peektures using various iPhone photo-fun-effect-apps.&lt;br /&gt;SERIOUS.&lt;br /&gt;Hahahaha, it is just amazing I tell you :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The first iPhone app I totally recommend 100% is the picture-editing app called 美图秀秀..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;img src="http://i1128.photobucket.com/albums/m493/halusatonaka/e4b91172-1.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Even though the entire interface is in Chinese, but still, the features of the app is simply fantastic! You can do the normal editing like cutting, cropping, adjusting the contrast/brightness etc etc ... and the best part is definitely the whole range of amazing effects you can use on your phone! :) Ranging from cute backgrounds to romantic lighting. I know that just saying won't exactly be super effective in influencing you to download the app, SO here is an example! :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;IMAGINE: Transform this super boring, blurry, not very interesting with horrible lighting picture ..............&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://i1128.photobucket.com/albums/m493/halusatonaka/74d94360.jpg" width="512" height="382" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;INTO SOMETHING LIKE .........

Hahaha :) - with nicer lighting canceling the horrible orange hue.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another amazing, wonderful, life-transforming app that is once again 100% recommended on anybody's iPhone, iTouch, iPad etc etc ... is ........ *drums rolls* SMILE CAT! :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;img src="http://i1128.photobucket.com/albums/m493/halusatonaka/e4b91172-2.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The interface is not only simple to use, but it is actually super super fun too! :D From colourful frames to pasting kawaii cartoon stickers and speech bubbles, picture editing has never been this fun and easy! :) The only downside of this app is that you can't edit the contrast, color etc of the image, but you can utilize it fully by mixing and matching different themes of your pictures with the wide varieties of picture/sticker themes this app has for anyone! Once again, let me show you a very simple example! :D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;TAKE THIS... Blurry, unflattering, unglam, mundance picture, pictures with unwanted strangers inside ... and trasform it ....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://i1128.photobucket.com/albums/m493/halusatonaka/d0feed4b.jpg" height="448" width="336" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;INTO SOMETHING LIKE .......

YEA!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And the very very very very last picture app which I recommend 100% (as well) .... Is none other than ... PIC COLLAGE!!!!!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;img src="http://i1128.photobucket.com/albums/m493/halusatonaka/e4b91172-3.jpg"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is an EXTREMELY easy app to use. For those people who wants to collect their best pictures and pile them up together as one .. this is definitely the app to use! :) The interface is not laggy (like other picture apps), and everything is smooth within the touch of your fingers!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And the end result of everything combined together is ..................... *drums rolls*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;...................

And I came to a conclusion that he looks best in POLO.&lt;br /&gt;Hahaha I guess he just looks more natural with a collared polo-tee.&lt;br /&gt;Fred Perry polos are just BLEH. Serious.&lt;br /&gt;I mean no offense to anyone when I say that, but all their polos are practically alike - just different colors.&lt;br /&gt;Even their cutting are exactly the same. I'm like meh.&lt;br /&gt;Pull and Bear was alright but their graphic tees were much nicer than their polos, but I am super bent on getting polo. So P&amp;amp;B OUT!&lt;br /&gt;Then we went to A/X.&lt;br /&gt;LIKE WADAFAK, one polo is like $120 at least.&lt;br /&gt;I didn't have that kind of cash with me and I was thinking of getting him a bottom as well.&lt;br /&gt;But oh wells. No choice, got to say byebye to A/X for now.&lt;br /&gt;Topman is way out because their style doesn't really suit Baby's huge build, so yea out too!&lt;br /&gt;Finally, Zara, most of Baby's clothes are from Zara as well, so I guess Zara suits his build better like how Topshop denims suit my thick thighs and out-of-shape-butt. HAHAHA.&lt;br /&gt;Got one Polo from there at a reasonable price! Super happy with my purchase and then we went to Coffee Bean to study.&lt;br /&gt;Sadly Starbucks had no place left and I couldn't indulge in my hot green tea latte :(&lt;br /&gt;BLEH.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh wells. We studied till 6pm before heading off to Far East Plaza to continue shopping.&lt;br /&gt;Yy recommended some nice Jap/Korean styled-shops there and they were super CUTE and affordable too! Not like Rose Bullet or Dips Drops.&lt;br /&gt;One (nice/decent) top in either of those shops could cost at least $150!!!!!!!&lt;br /&gt;WTF.&lt;br /&gt;Hahahaha.&lt;br /&gt;So anyways, we shopped for a while more and I saw this super cute bottom which I bought for only $29.90... Super super super cheap and a super good buy! :)&lt;br /&gt;Heehee.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then Yy accompanied me to Takashimaya where I met up with Baby and his client there, before she went to meet up with her own ai ai :) Hahaha.&lt;br /&gt;We couldn't find a place to sit as it was just beaming with people in every single food outlets/restaurants.&lt;br /&gt;In the end, we went to the food court to eat Pepper lunch! OMG.&lt;br /&gt;Super worth it~! Heehee.&lt;br /&gt;After dinner, we accompanied Baby's client to the taxi stand before we went around walking/shopping. Baby went to Mont Blanc to check out the pen he has always wanted to buy.&lt;br /&gt;It had this diamond on the tip of the pen and the bigger it was the more expensive it was (LIKE DUH).. but it was super elegant and beautiful, even I was stunned.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Afterwards, we went by Ion again to check out Topshop because I really want to get a pair of denims, but sadly the denims there are like similar to the ones I already have or they are not nice at all :(&lt;br /&gt;Thank goodness at P&amp;amp;B, they had some nice looking denims there and I bought one pair~! Heehee.&lt;br /&gt;So that's all for my shopping trip today~&lt;br /&gt;Hahaha, I got one polo for Baby, one pair of casual shorts and one pair of denim :)&lt;br /&gt;Heehee, super happy with my purchase~ :D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And that is all~!!!!! :)&lt;br /&gt;Toodles!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4321255157550148694-5856292171737994851?l=aristocratsempire.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aristocratsempire.blogspot.com/feeds/5856292171737994851/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://aristocratsempire.blogspot.com/2011/08/study-shopping.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4321255157550148694/posts/default/5856292171737994851'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4321255157550148694/posts/default/5856292171737994851'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aristocratsempire.blogspot.com/2011/08/study-shopping.html' title='Study-shopping.'/><author><name>Vanessa</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12177923736916376788</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-VBKHX1i-A6E/TaCWpOiOavI/AAAAAAAAAB0/LAwth6NMg4M/s220/55679_455530758112_522108112_5371428_7979926_o.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4321255157550148694.post-2066216489094987905</id><published>2011-08-25T22:09:00.004+08:00</published><updated>2011-08-25T23:09:17.683+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Shangri-Lalalalalala~</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;img src="http://i1128.photobucket.com/albums/m493/halusatonaka/tumblr_lnwcjrvWNv1qlxzhbo1_500.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is so much to update about today! :P&lt;br /&gt;Heehee.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First stop, I didn't go to school today due to various 11294837432850934 reasons. Hahaha :P&lt;br /&gt;ANYWAYS, Baby also didn't have much work to do, so he came back around 10am after he finished helping some child with his/her primary school admission for next year.&lt;br /&gt;We had lunch together at home and lazed around for a while.&lt;br /&gt;Then we bathed, prepared our stuff and headed out at around 1.30pm.&lt;br /&gt;You might be wondering what's so special about today.&lt;br /&gt;Well..................... Baby is having dinner with a special client of his and invited me along as well~ Heehee.&lt;br /&gt;I don't really get many chances to meet up with Baby's work personnel, maybe that's because most of the time I don't really understand what they are talking about ... LOL.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh right, before that Baby has to go and register another child, so I went to Orchard Wisma Starbucks to study first.&lt;br /&gt;I bought Baby's favourite green tea latte and I enjoyed myself throughout.&lt;br /&gt;Surprisingly, while I was studying, I saw Joseph! Hahaha.&lt;br /&gt;He walked into this vacant shop outlet which was still going through renovation.&lt;br /&gt;Baby guessed that he might be opening his own shop or something ..&lt;br /&gt;But anyways, I went up to say Hi, but then he was on his phone and he seemed rather shock to see me.&lt;br /&gt;So we just exchanged his before I was on my way to meet up with Baby and his client at Shangri La Hotel :)&lt;br /&gt;I took a taxi there as walking is an impossible feat and taking the bus there is really really inconvenient.&lt;br /&gt;Since the restaurant buffet there was not open yet, I sat around and listened to Baby's conversations with his client.&lt;br /&gt;Normally, I wouldn't understand a single word if I were to try communicating with a person from China, but somehow this particular client of his was not really super affable, but he was somewhat quite easy to understand.&lt;br /&gt;I was quite surprised at myself too. Hahahaha&lt;br /&gt;Baby's client is a principal at some school in China and he also owns a few other businesses here and there, and from what I see, I totally would not have thought he was a principal because he totally didn't look like one! Hahaha.&lt;br /&gt;First of all, he seems like a really casual person and he seems a tad too fun to be a principal. Hahaha :P I'm not saying that principals are boring people, but ..... yea you get my drift.&lt;br /&gt;His client also brought along his 10year old daughter who was quite adorable and really hyper. She was like running about the hotel, wanting to explore the second level etc.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At 6.30pm, the restaurant - TheLine, finally opened for dinner and we made our way there.&lt;br /&gt;They had such a HUGE spread I was soooooo shocked.&lt;br /&gt;Hahaha.&lt;br /&gt;So Baby grabbed his usual seafood, even though he has a slight allergy towards them, his love for seafood is not to be underestimated. Hahahaha.&lt;br /&gt;Ohh, and I took some pictures of the food we took~ Heehee.&lt;br /&gt;(Sorry if the food seems quite messy .. that's because Baby has no sense of decoration/delicacy....

Hahaha, and I couldn't walk properly at all (thanks to the heels too! LOL)&lt;br /&gt;And we cabbed home.&lt;br /&gt;The uncle was quite nice because he bade us goodnight :) Heehee.&lt;br /&gt;After having dinner with Baby's client, I think he was a really nice guy.&lt;br /&gt;He was those kind super friendly who loves making jokes here and then, but when he needs to be serious, he really gets down to business and formalities. I really admire people like this, no wonder he is so successful in life.&lt;br /&gt;And I know that Baby is going to be super successful too! Heehee, because I can tell that he is putting like super extra effort in whatever he is doing.&lt;br /&gt;So jiayou Baby!

D:&lt;br /&gt;You are probably wondering why I would say something like that ... But I find it insanely cool if Baby and I have a couple friend :)&lt;br /&gt;A couple whom we know as good friends and we can like go on double dates etc ...&lt;br /&gt;OMG. That would be so freaking awesome!&lt;br /&gt;So the two of us are like banking on Bob - we are like forever cheering him on to get that girl of his dreams (of course I know who she is since she is from my school), but he said Alvls come first D: NOOOO.&lt;br /&gt;Hahahaha.&lt;br /&gt;And of course I hope the girl will like me too! If not it would be quite fail :P&lt;br /&gt;There are only a few couples whom the both of us are able to recognize as mutual common friends.&lt;br /&gt;One couple would be Dennis and Charmaine from Cheer ...&lt;br /&gt;Then another would be Jiayu and Joseph .. also from Cheer! LOL.&lt;br /&gt;.................................... If I'm not wrong, that is all.&lt;br /&gt;SO SAD RIGHT!!! D:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Don't get me wrong! I'm not saying that going out with Baby is boring.. but the two of us agree that having a couple-friend would be just wonderful!&lt;br /&gt;It's like the girls can chat about clothes, shopping etc .. while the guys talk about their games, worklife etc ...&lt;br /&gt;AAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!&lt;br /&gt;It's like Baby has his own pool of friends from his workplace, Gusto etc.&lt;br /&gt;Then I have another pool of friends from school, online, social groups etc.&lt;br /&gt;THEN, we have the same pool of friends from Cheer, but there are so few couples inside D:&lt;br /&gt;Of course our 女儿must get a SUPER strong, super nice guy if not Baby and I will go bash him up.&lt;br /&gt;SIGHS*&lt;br /&gt;I know Baby and I should probably try intermingle with each other's friends.&lt;br /&gt;Like once I met Baby's workplace friends and well, I felt quite .... out of place because they are all married and their wives are already pregnant when Baby and I are not even ENGAGED!! :S&lt;br /&gt;Well, Baby hasn't really met most of my friends ...................... only a few exceptions like Bob, Yy and Chengling... but I think it will still be awkward as MOST of my friends are single and I've always found it awkward if I were to bring Baby along and they would be like "Are you showing off?" LOL.... -.-&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think perhaps Baby and I should sign the both of us up on some couple-friend-finder! LOL.&lt;br /&gt;Then we can go on blind-double-dates with other couples to see whether we click couple-couple... LOL. Now that would be hilarious :) But ... a rather feasible idea actually. LOL.&lt;br /&gt;SIGHS..................................................&lt;br /&gt;Ohwells, nothing much I can do right now though.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ahhh, how I wish we could find one couple-friend. And it's like we can share with one another our couple-couple secrets or tips etc. AHHHHH.&lt;br /&gt;I think I might be going crazy from the stress I'm receiving..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;:S&lt;br /&gt;Toodles~&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4321255157550148694-377142453554796268?l=aristocratsempire.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aristocratsempire.blogspot.com/feeds/377142453554796268/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://aristocratsempire.blogspot.com/2011/08/couple.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4321255157550148694/posts/default/377142453554796268'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4321255157550148694/posts/default/377142453554796268'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aristocratsempire.blogspot.com/2011/08/couple.html' title='COUPLE!'/><author><name>Vanessa</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12177923736916376788</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-VBKHX1i-A6E/TaCWpOiOavI/AAAAAAAAAB0/LAwth6NMg4M/s220/55679_455530758112_522108112_5371428_7979926_o.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4321255157550148694.post-7381031396723344887</id><published>2011-08-22T12:00:00.003+08:00</published><updated>2011-08-22T12:10:45.090+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Treat~</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;img src="http://i1128.photobucket.com/albums/m493/halusatonaka/tumblr_ln7xo828Kh1qgk97uo1_500.png"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yesterday, my elder brother treated the whole family to seafood.&lt;br /&gt;I was super shocked.&lt;br /&gt;At first I was still swaying in my post-slumber, and my mother came into my room and said "Are you going out anywhere tonight? Well, you better now, because your elder brother wants to treat the whole family to seafood for dinner..." And I was like "Huh......." And went back to sleep. SO, when I woke up again, I thought it was a DREAM! BUT NO! Hahahaha. And yes, this is like the biggest shock in 2010.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyways, before that, I already made plans with Yy to study outside at Tampines there.&lt;br /&gt;I left the house around 2pm because I wanted to have lunch before going out to save money~ HAHA.&lt;br /&gt;Made my way to Topshop and my mother gracefully gave me money to buy my stuff! OOoohhhhhyea!!! The first item I wanted to get was this cardigan with heart-shape patterns, but then after trying it, I felt it looked weird on me. So I continued shopping around, then I saw this butterfly-blouse.&lt;br /&gt;It's like a blouse with really huge sleeves, something like a kimono, but a shorter version of it. And I totally fell in love with it.&lt;br /&gt;Not to mention how soft the thing was in my hands etc. Ohhhgoodness.&lt;br /&gt;So I bought it in the end :) It was around $89. And I was left with a measly $20 left. D:&lt;br /&gt;And after buying my double chocolate ice blend venti size, and some miscellaneous stuff, I was left with around $10 T.T&lt;br /&gt;My wallet has never felt so empty before.....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyways, Yy and I studied till 6plus where Baby finally finished work and came to Tampines to find me so that we can go to the seafood place together.&lt;br /&gt;We took the fast express there and finally made it! Heehee.&lt;br /&gt;The food my elder brother ordered were SUPERB, and my favourite was this yam cake thingy with some crispy crispy flakes around it. The crust of the yam cake was just heavenly and the flesh inside was super tender and I was like gorging most of it! HAHAHAHA :P&lt;br /&gt;Finally, after eating, my family headed back home while Baby and I went back to Tampines Mall because I wanted to buy this singlet which I saw at Dorothy Perkins before.&lt;br /&gt;BUT, in the end I didn't buy because I had no bottom to match it .... and my ratio of tops and bottoms are super off .. it's like 9:1 YES THAT BAD.&lt;br /&gt;So I've to buy more BOTTOMZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!!!!!! Or, just buy freaking dresses which are already considered two-piece matched. LOL.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, that's all I've for today's post.&lt;br /&gt;Heehee.

Ohgosh.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It all started with Baby inviting me to eat at Sakura International Buffet with his boss and his colleagues. Over there, I freaking indulged in JAPANESE FOOD. Hahahaha. I guess it's because their desserts are nice!! And they had some sushi crepe which is unique but super rich in taste. Oh gosh, the Japanese sure know how to mix and match their food! :)&lt;br /&gt;Super enjoyed myself there as I got to know a few of Baby's friends as well .. but they are all married and stuff ... so the both of us were like a little left out ... LOL.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then just a few days ago, Baby and I ate at Plaza Singapura's Aijisen Restaurant. Ohgosh. It has been such a long time since I last ate there and I super miss my tom yam ramen .. BUT, Baby suggested I should eat the mabo tofu since I always can't finish my food and he will always be the one eating half of it. So may as well choose something which he likes as well.. LOL.&lt;br /&gt;(Talking about PS, I bought another Cath Kidston casing ... Because it's SUPER smooth and nice to use :D Heehee.. and the casing was somewhat similar to Baby's .. just that it was of a different background color)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Once more, just yesterday, after a whole day of studying with Yy at Cityhall Starbucks, I met up with Baby there after he finished meeting up with his client. As it was getting like super late, we decided to just eat at Raffles City. Baby wanted to bring me to Novena to check out an awesome eatery there, but since it was like 9pm and we were like super hungry plus tired, we just decided to eat there. We walked around for like super long then we finally found a place to eat! :D&lt;br /&gt;YEP! It was yet another Japanese restaurant called Osaka Town. The food there is SUPER awesome!! Even Baby who doesn't really take a fancy to Japanese food find it super nice.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://a8.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/300536_10150411809340830_649245829_10774092_6379840_n.jpg" height="323" width="432" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is a definite RECOMMEND! :) It has beef, chicken, salmon etc. And the beef is like super tender and juicy. The moment I bite onto the beef, I can totally feel the really nice texture of the beef plus the 'juice' just burst into my mouth with fantastic flavour. It is a total MUST TRY! :D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://a8.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/310912_10150411809995830_649245829_10774099_929833_n.jpg" height="323" width="432" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I chose this dish .. if I'm not wrong, it's called Cheese Curry or something like that. LOL. Yea, it is basically beef grilled with cheese on it and boiled into this piping hot curry. This dish is nice too as the cheese flavour did not overrun the curry or beef, instead it blended nicely and you can still taste the curry. As for the beef, with the cheese grilled to perfection on top of it, it is just simply heavenly as well :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://a1.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/315715_10150411811460830_649245829_10774106_1999262_n.jpg" height="323" width="432" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well here we have some homemade gyoza dumplings. It sort of reminds me of the ones which Baby's parents made for me. YES that's right, MADE FOR ME. LOL. The taste does not have such a huge impact on me as I preferred Baby's parents homemade gyoza dumplings. But still, it is a good eat! Hahaha. Crispy exterior with a well cooked interior :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://a3.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc7/296812_10150411812315830_649245829_10774111_1734359_n.jpg" height="432" width="323" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The first thing that came to mind was why was Osaka Town selling food from Aijisen.. :P I can't remember the name for this thingy here, but it is SUPER NICE! After eating heaty food, it is good to have some cooling desserts to calm down the tastebuds, and this is a good choice! :) Heehee, the fillings + the exterior added together is just another awesome combination.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And that concludes our Japanese fiesta~ LOL.&lt;br /&gt;Frankly speaking, I might want to try other kinds of food starting from this week onwards as my tastebuds for Jap food has been wonderfully satisfied. I was thinking perhaps this time Baby and I could go for a more 'homely' theme .. like eating more of Singapore orientated local delicacies (that includes DURIAN! OMG, I've such a craving for durian nowwwww ... -.-)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well that's all I have for today~ Heehee.&lt;br /&gt;Btw, I saw this super cute cardigan with heart-shape patterns on it. SUPER SUPER KAWAII~ I'm thinking of buying it. Of course I still am saving up for my high end products :) I was thinking of buying an LV monogram bag .... BUT, Baby kept telling me that a lot of AV actresses are hooked onto this brand and that just makes me hesitate for a long while ...........................&lt;br /&gt;So I'm thinking of maybe Prada ... BUT THEN! Prada bags have a tendency to look alike .... so I'm also not quite sure about that as well ... SIGHS* I don't want to compete my mother with her Chanel purses, since I obviously can't win her. I guess I shall continue looking then! Hahaha.&lt;br /&gt;I also have to save up to buy something for Baby's mother when I (am allowed) to go back to China to visit them after my Alvls since my father became more strict with me this year :(&lt;br /&gt;Meh. Hahahaha. Nevertheless I've got to find something nice to give Baby's mother because she has been really nice to me during my trip in China and she and Baby's dad sponsored my trip to Shanghai as well and even wanted to sponsor my shopping trip there. Of course I returned them the money because I felt bad for spending their money when I just met them.&lt;br /&gt;PLUS! Even when I returned to Singapore, she still sent me gifts like that Marc by Marc Jacobs dress she bought for me. OMGOODNESS. And she was thinking of sending me an LV bag as well ... and I'm like woah .. I'm super stressed out as to what to give her man! D: LOLLOL.&lt;br /&gt;SO ANYWAYS, talking about saving money, I've got to buck up!!! :P Heehee.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Toodles~&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4321255157550148694-1422959145993585372?l=aristocratsempire.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aristocratsempire.blogspot.com/feeds/1422959145993585372/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://aristocratsempire.blogspot.com/2011/08/japanese-fiesta.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4321255157550148694/posts/default/1422959145993585372'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4321255157550148694/posts/default/1422959145993585372'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aristocratsempire.blogspot.com/2011/08/japanese-fiesta.html' title='Japanese Fiesta~'/><author><name>Vanessa</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12177923736916376788</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-VBKHX1i-A6E/TaCWpOiOavI/AAAAAAAAAB0/LAwth6NMg4M/s220/55679_455530758112_522108112_5371428_7979926_o.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4321255157550148694.post-8670448042904876797</id><published>2011-08-16T20:56:00.003+08:00</published><updated>2011-08-16T21:09:10.892+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Horrible Bosses!</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;img src="http://i1128.photobucket.com/albums/m493/halusatonaka/tumblr_lptrznrWjx1qjxm01o1_500.gif" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Baby and I went to see the movie Horrible Bosses today~!!!! :D&lt;br /&gt;CUE MOVIE POSTER! HAHAHA :P&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;img src="http://i1128.photobucket.com/albums/m493/halusatonaka/Horrible-Bosses-2011-Movie-Poster.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well actually.. Baby was quite busy with his work, but then he purposely pushed back everything just to spend time with me as he had to meet another client at night :P&lt;br /&gt;So sweet right?! Omg ;) I'm like super thankful for such an awesome romantic boyfriend.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So anyways, straight after school I went home and bathed I went to Tampines Mall to meet my darling.&lt;br /&gt;Even though we bought tickets like half an hour before the movie, the cinema was not even packed! I was quite shocked.&lt;br /&gt;Because the ratings are like super good!! I guess it is because it is M18.. Zzzzzzzz&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Throughout the entire movie, I found Baby and I laughing like mad.... It was just crazy!!!!  Well it was quite vulgar cause everybody was like using the f-word and scolding bitch and all.. And there were a lot of sexual humor, something which Baby and I find very very commonly amusing.. Hahaha :P&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The story is about three really good friends who have terrible, horrible effed up bosses.&lt;br /&gt;One of them works in a sales company and his boss is literally taking advantage of him by squeezing every ounce of his life to work as a slave labor to him.&lt;br /&gt;The other has a really nice boss but then he died and his douchebag son took over which he toyed with his fathers company at the palm of his hand.&lt;br /&gt;The last one was super hilarious.. He was a convicted sex offender...&lt;br /&gt;But actually all he did was pee in a playground with no kids ... But still... Lol!&lt;br /&gt;So anyways since he already had a bad mark in society, so he can't be choosy about his job even though his female boss sexually harass him at work!!! Haha and the catch is that he is already engaged. Can you just imagine his situation?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And the story continues with how they all wish they could kill their bosses, and they decided to consult a hitman.&lt;br /&gt;Well they met a few mishaps along the way but then someone gave them a good suggestion .. that instead of killing their respective bosses, why not kill one another's bosses?&lt;br /&gt;And they actually tried to go with it!&lt;br /&gt;So the story is about them planning and routing how to kill one another's bosses and the process of it is super HILARIOUS.&lt;br /&gt;Must not forget the sexual humor of it all. HAHAHA&lt;br /&gt;But then the climax of the story is that their plan goes haywire when one of their bosses crossed path with another ...............................&lt;br /&gt;AND yea, I'm not telling anymore.&lt;br /&gt;Hahahaha.&lt;br /&gt;For those who are like 18 and above, I totally recommend this awesome movie!&lt;br /&gt;Not only does it help relieve stress, but you will find yourself laughing with stitches throughout, unless your sense of humor is really different from mine. LOL.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The movie length is quite alright, and after the movie, I accompanied Baby to the busstop where he has to go and meet his boss + client.&lt;br /&gt;He is an apprentice property agent but I know he can succeed well in anything he does :)&lt;br /&gt;Jiayou!&lt;br /&gt;Well, that's all I have for today though ... LOL.&lt;br /&gt;Toodles~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;PS: It is really an eye-opener to see Jennifer Aniston doing a role totally different from her character, comparing with the past few films/dramas she did before like Friends, Bruce Almighty etc .. Hahaha. But still, she acted out beautifully and boldly I dare say! Hahaha :P&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4321255157550148694-8670448042904876797?l=aristocratsempire.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aristocratsempire.blogspot.com/feeds/8670448042904876797/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://aristocratsempire.blogspot.com/2011/08/horrible-bosses.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4321255157550148694/posts/default/8670448042904876797'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4321255157550148694/posts/default/8670448042904876797'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aristocratsempire.blogspot.com/2011/08/horrible-bosses.html' title='Horrible Bosses!'/><author><name>Vanessa</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12177923736916376788</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-VBKHX1i-A6E/TaCWpOiOavI/AAAAAAAAAB0/LAwth6NMg4M/s220/55679_455530758112_522108112_5371428_7979926_o.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4321255157550148694.post-3749169421453182688</id><published>2011-08-15T11:22:00.004+08:00</published><updated>2011-08-15T11:57:49.968+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Effed up Bitch.</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;img src="http://i1128.photobucket.com/albums/m493/halusatonaka/tumblr_lps8d5tScU1qce2d1o1_500.gif" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That was my entire mood of yesterday.&lt;br /&gt;PMS-Y and really raring to bitch off.&lt;br /&gt;Why?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Because SHE had to come down for training.&lt;br /&gt;Just this once which I thought I could accompany my darling sweet boyfran down for training, SHE HAD TO COME TOO. WADAFAK.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let me get this straight. If I'm the only one who hates her guts, then maybe I'm just being jealous/bitchy/irrational yada yada yada...&lt;br /&gt;But if a big group of people hates her to the core, then yep, it's the bitch's problem, not mine.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First of all, some background information about her.&lt;br /&gt;She just joined one of the external cheer groups in Singapore (I shall just name it ALPHA), and HUGE EMPHASIS on the part where she is NOT in the main team..&lt;br /&gt;Then yesterday she strolled into the training ground thinking that she is the boss, she is the most pro and the most awesome cheerleader there ever.&lt;br /&gt;SERIOUSLY?! (Somemore she came late sia, wahlau. What kind of shitty attitude is that?!)&lt;br /&gt;Then during PT, she can't even keep up with the simple basic PT ... so she starts doing other stuff which are not so strenuous.&lt;br /&gt;Wow! What a great way to embarrass ALPHA man.&lt;br /&gt;Then came the stunts and stuff. I was minding my business all the time actually ... just sitting there doing my homework, but her attitude kept bugging me.&lt;br /&gt;She thinks she is the best there.. so she keeps thinking that she can coach people very well.&lt;br /&gt;Sure, coaching for elevator is damn simple lahs, even I can do it.&lt;br /&gt;BUT, she wants to coach for Cupie?! PLEASE LAH! I see you do Cupie on the floor also can fall off, what makes you think you are pro enough to fly for real!&lt;br /&gt;And worse of all, my daughter - Vv has been cheerleading for many years already since she was a young child. And she and Cc have been doing way more extreme professional partner stunts than that stupid BITCH, you know what the bitch did?! She was correcting Vv on her cupie.&lt;br /&gt;FOR FUCK REAL?!?!?!?!?!&lt;br /&gt;Actually, at this point of time, I don't mind mentioning names le.&lt;br /&gt;The bitch's name is Kailun.&lt;br /&gt;You can search for her on Facebook, whatever .. I'm sick of her fucked up attitude.&lt;br /&gt;Then another point during training, she wanted to try B-toss, so the some of the bases kindly gave her the chance to do so.&lt;br /&gt;You know what.. she couldn't fly properly, she blamed the base.&lt;br /&gt;I was looking at her the entire time ... there was nothing wrong with what the base was doing ... you can't fly properly you still want to blame other innocent people?!&lt;br /&gt;Once again, you are embarrassing your ALPHA team man.&lt;br /&gt;And when she's flying up in the air, there is nothing the base can do but make sure they catch her when she is reaching the ground ... so up there in the air, everything is up to the flyer.&lt;br /&gt;You know what she did up there? She couldn't lock properly, so her back was arching back pretty badly and her b-toss just looked like SHIT, pure unrated pile of SHIT.&lt;br /&gt;She still can blame bases... WTF?!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another thing ... Cc has been cheering and participating in National Cheerleading Competitions for 3 years plus le. And he is like the most well trusted base there who always put the flyer's safety before his. My friends and I can vouch that he is the most experienced and well-trained base over there.... And she still can say that he is doing a bad job when he helps her go up to elevator. WTF?! ELEVATOR NYA LEH, you want to complain what shit?! If simple stunts like that you want to complain then you may as well just fly yourself lahs. Damn fucked up leh.&lt;br /&gt;So I turned to the juniors and say damn loudly in her face "If flyers can't fly properly, whatever you do, NEVER blame the bases when the fault clearly lies in oneself."&lt;br /&gt;Somemore she still has the nerves to come act friendly with me. Don't give me this kind of shit sia. You obviously offended like so many people on the training ground, you still think I give a damn about you?!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;img src="http://i1128.photobucket.com/albums/m493/halusatonaka/tumblr_lptzjhZCee1r0bcpdo1_500.gif" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Don't get me wrong man .. I mean almost everyone hates her and she is clearly not welcome .. Just that give her a bit of face just let her come and train with us .. then she still can show that superior complex when she is not even PRO lors.&lt;br /&gt;With her attitude like that, I don't see how anyone wants to be around her siaaa.. Not pro still want to act pro.&lt;br /&gt;And one thing Cc said that left a huge lasting impression on me ...&lt;br /&gt;"Only the true elites won't go about showing off their skills and techniques .. Only the n00b (like that bitch) will want to keep showing off because she needs to prove herself to everyone that she is 'pro'. True elites don't need to have people acknowledging their abilities because it is already a well-stated fact that they are obviously superior. Only inferior people NEED to scamper for that tiny ray of recognition that people obviously don't want to give you."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Awww how sad Kailun that in my eyes and the eyes of the others, you will never be pro .. not now not ever.&lt;br /&gt;Even if by some struck of lightning miracle you managed to become pro (chances are slim I'm sure), I still won't respect you like how I respect the true gods of cheerleading, because your attitude is just plain fucked up horrible.&lt;br /&gt;Like how Vv and I respect Gusto for being the best Cheerleading team for not giving up (they are the only cheerleading team who has improved drastically over a few years and clinching the Championship title they truly deserve) and being friendly to every cheerleading teams out there.&lt;br /&gt;Not like some bitch Kailun.&lt;br /&gt;Seriously, Kailun if you see this post ... I hope that you don't come and talk to me till you change that attitude of yours. I'm already giving you clear enough signs that I hate your guts and obviously want nothing to do with you.&lt;br /&gt;Maybe on the training mats I will show you some face, but other than that, don't expect anything more because I'm sure as hell I will bitch-slap you if you dare offend any of my friends on the training mats. Got that bitch?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Maybe when you are training with ALPHA, you are some humji act guai bitch ... but I don't care about what you do there ... if you dare come down and show your fucking attitude during Sat/Sun trainings, I will make sure I will give you a fucking 3hours of hell ^-^&lt;br /&gt;And yes it is true .. hardly anybody likes you already. I'll be sure to keep that attitude of yours in check if you ever want to have friends or become pro. Because with you keep blaming bases when it is clearly your fault, you won't have anyone left to want to stunt with you. It is a cold sad fact .. but face it asshole.&lt;br /&gt;Good luck with that bitch.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And here is me signing off.&lt;br /&gt;Toodles~ :)&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4321255157550148694-3749169421453182688?l=aristocratsempire.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aristocratsempire.blogspot.com/feeds/3749169421453182688/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://aristocratsempire.blogspot.com/2011/08/effed-up-bitch.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4321255157550148694/posts/default/3749169421453182688'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4321255157550148694/posts/default/3749169421453182688'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aristocratsempire.blogspot.com/2011/08/effed-up-bitch.html' title='Effed up Bitch.'/><author><name>Vanessa</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12177923736916376788</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-VBKHX1i-A6E/TaCWpOiOavI/AAAAAAAAAB0/LAwth6NMg4M/s220/55679_455530758112_522108112_5371428_7979926_o.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4321255157550148694.post-884677212705920488</id><published>2011-08-10T16:08:00.003+08:00</published><updated>2011-08-10T16:30:57.996+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Free Running Baby~</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;img src="http://i1128.photobucket.com/albums/m493/halusatonaka/tumblr_lox6aoVpbZ1qmgw6lo1_500.gif" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I've finally found another love besides Cheerleading ...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;AND it is none other than ........................&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;FREE RUNNING! :)&lt;br /&gt;Hahaha.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Many people will think that parkour and free running are the same .. BUT IT IS NOT!&lt;br /&gt;Surprised? Yea, me too.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Apparently parkour conditions the body and mind to overcome physical obstacles using efficiency and speed - in a way it is adapting one's body movements to the environment and using the surroundings to their advantage.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Free running on the other hand was inspired from Parkour, and it incorporates efficient movements from Parkour and adds lots of gymnastic movements here and there. But the main difference is that free running embodies complete freedom of body movements including many acrobatic maneuvers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Both may seem to encompass similar physical challenges and building of one's body movement, but the mindset of how these two sports came about is totally different.&lt;br /&gt;And well, I think free running suits my character/personality more as it emphasizes self-development by 'following your own way', something like charting your own course.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;PLUS! Free running is like a more challenging gymnastic sport which I'm hoping I can integrate myself into as soon as Alevels end.&lt;br /&gt;I already love running a lot, and to add on gymnastics to it and add, makes it even more challenging and fun! :D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, before I can start the actual free running itself, I've to train both stamina and gymnastic capabilities.&lt;br /&gt;Thank goodness I already have a somewhat good stamina after I tried running 5km last night. Heehee. And I have Cheer to help me develop a more flexible and in-tuned body for gymnastics. All in all, I've got to train my mental capability because I'm like any typical Singaporean - I'M SCARED OF DYING. Hahahaha :P Bleh.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But other than that, I hope I can find another person who is interested in free running as well, because it is like damn fun to free run around the neighborhood like it is your personal playground. Heehee. And another plus point is that it is a super great fun way to stay in shape! :D SO why not?!?!?!?! :D:D:D:D:D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For those who are interested in Free Running or just want to see what it's like, here is a video I found on youtube.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1fouvwilGWc"&gt;CLICKY HERE!&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's about a Free Running Academy called Tempest and it shows like the various acrobatic stunts the people do while running etc etc ... It's super cool and how I wished they could establish one of those academies here in Singapore. That would be just super awesome! The people in there are all professionals, so no one should follow what they are doing at home as it is dangerous to do those stunts without proper facilities/supervision.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Enjoy the video!

I don't know .. I've never really been tackle by a fat bitch before.&lt;br /&gt;You can hate me all you want and tell me how terrible, how childish a person I am, but I know I've changed and not everybody will be upsy-daisy-oh-so-innocent, even back then.&lt;br /&gt;Sure you can deny that I was the mastermind of your sorrows, distress, demise, but byatch, you don't know even half the shit that happened! Nah-uh, no you didn't.&lt;br /&gt;You can call me pathetic or whatever .. I ain't going to be brought down by that~~&lt;br /&gt;I'm definitely not going to let this affect my Alevels for sure.&lt;br /&gt;I mean .. letting a fat, sordid, deplorable bitch's words get into my future???????&lt;br /&gt;Goodness gracious, oh my heavens, rosey me NO!&lt;br /&gt;NO WAY IN HELL~~~~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I bet after seeing this post, she will definitely write something on her blog and yadah yadah yadah.&lt;br /&gt;Hummmmmz, like I care?&lt;br /&gt;~(=.=)~&lt;br /&gt;Oh sure, you say that whole gang is against me and they are too nice to tell me that I am a horrible, terrible person ...&lt;br /&gt;So?&lt;br /&gt;Don't be such a tweed yo!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ain't no fat bitch's ramblings going to bring me down~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You think I’m just going to curl up in a ball and cry to myself in one dark and lonely corner of my room?&lt;br /&gt;Hell to the NO to the N-O!!!!&lt;br /&gt;There are so many adventures in life which I’m totally enjoying and I ain’t going to let some byatch’s ramblings get me all-so-depressed.&lt;br /&gt;Nah-uh.&lt;br /&gt;Cheerleading! With Bob, Baby, Lihui, Malcolm, Kat, Vv, Aaron, Rudy, Janice, Huiyang and the rest of the gang (sorry too many to note down le) … those people are super-special-wonderful-ohmygosh-awesome people!&lt;br /&gt;And we get to experience the thrill of getting thrown in the air, or being right on top of the pyramid etc.&lt;br /&gt;(For the guys it would be able to hold an entire girl's weight up there, seeing how wonderful it is to be part of something so amazing.)&lt;br /&gt;It’s something which that byatch will probably never experience or understand in her lifetime … (at the very least not THIS lifetime …)&lt;br /&gt;Even our strongest tanker won’t be able to withstand the ‘pressure’.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;Alvls. Omg. Even though this doesn’t classify as ‘pleasurable thrill’, but it is still considered fun … (I guess?) Studying with Bob, Aidil etc is just too fun to miss out, and I very much want to have a bright, unwavering future ahead of me tyvm!&lt;br /&gt;And my class! Gosh, what a bunch of jolly people, from the guys to the girls to me! Hahaha :P Why dampen my spirits that hinders me from making merry with them? (Sounds wrong, but …. Heck! :P)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Come on man … Hahaha, you can do better than that?&lt;br /&gt;But anyways, on a more serious and zero-bitchiness-note, I’ve already taken my stance and apologized to those whom I sincerely care for, and whether they forgive me or not is entirely up to them. I mean … I’m still going to move on regardless.&lt;br /&gt;And, I’ve always thought that cutting my ties with that byatch would make me feel … somewhat regrettable …. BUT, hell no man! I feel perfectly fine!&lt;br /&gt;In fact, I feel more at eased and somehow it feels good to be rid of another (heavy) burden. Ooohh, double meaning word-play!!! *applause*&lt;br /&gt;(gosh, I know I can be such a byatch sometimes, but who isn’t??)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But yea, I also did some revaluation of my attitude, and I admit I’m not perfect, and I’ve hurt many people as a result of that.&lt;br /&gt;As for now, I’m going to change for the better towards those around me, and I’m still glad that I’ve many other awesome friends by my side who are willing to listen to my bitchiness, and bitch alongside me too. LOL. Life is great isn’t it? :D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sure it has its ups and downs, but I'm still enjoying life to the fullest.&lt;br /&gt;There are times when one aspect of your life is going to crumble and just wither away at your feet, but hey! I'm not going to let that one tiny aspect (referring to byatch~) ruin my other aspects right?&lt;br /&gt;So yea! Heehee.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyways, I'm going to sleep soon ... Been up all night playing FF12 (yep just bought the game today! Omg, so guilty right now ... supposed to save money!) and it is just AWESOME!&lt;br /&gt;The graphics, the sound effects, the beautiful straight, silky rebonded hair of practically every single one of them in the game (except for some afro dude, but hey! He still looks GOOOOOOD) ....... Awww man. So gorgeous ... *drools* :P&lt;br /&gt;Hahahahahaha, but I don't really like the battle system though, seems a bit too rigid, but it is still worth a shot!&lt;br /&gt;Another example of what I was trying to say!&lt;br /&gt;Just because one small portion of the game isn't right, doesn't mean I have to give up on the ENTIRE game!&lt;br /&gt;So yea ...&lt;br /&gt;(in your face!)&lt;br /&gt;LOL.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Life is just full of bitches ... sometimes you can cry to yourself at one corner, or you can always smile at the bitch and tell them to fuck off while you continue to live your life.&lt;br /&gt;I'm definitely going for the latter.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just kissed my Baby a goodnight kiss .. and it's off to bed with me~&lt;br /&gt;Toodles~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;PS. Sorry if I kept posting the word 'fat' inside ... I don't know ... I just don't really agree with the idea of BEING 'fat' .... humzzzz, even my bitching friends don't agree with it ... NO OFFENSE~ KAKAKA yar yar, inner-beauty counts more than outer-blahblahblah, just a side note: the first few impression of a stranger will not be based on inner-beauty. Within 3 seconds, a stranger will already be judged on his/her outer appearances and it always goes to show how much you 'treasure' and maintain your body, and if it is not GOOD, ohwells, not mah problem! It's not that I hate fat people, let me get that straight, it's just that I hate the fact that they don't do something about it and just say "oh, family genes" or "I've tried everything..." PLEASE, I've seen miracles at work and I can vouch that you did nothing worth mentioning, so don't give me that kind of crappy excuse. And the worst kind of excuse is "Oh it is the inner beauty that counts." (-.-?) whadahfuck?! Oh by the way, I’m not referring to those voluptuous or pear-shaped body females, those are still acceptable. I’m talking about those really hopelessly-overweight-yet-keep-complaining-that-nothing-works-when-they-did-absolutely-nothing-or-failed-the-first-few-tries. I’ve friends who are overweight, but I can see them putting the effort to do something about it. If I have a friend who was born chubby yet she can lose 20kg within one year … I don’t think anyone else has any more excuses, just goes to show how you lack in determination. Sad but true. So please fix your attitude first before trying to judge me, because I don’t take advices from those kinds of people … AT ALL :D Have a nice night!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4321255157550148694-5587547901544059180?l=aristocratsempire.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aristocratsempire.blogspot.com/feeds/5587547901544059180/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://aristocratsempire.blogspot.com/2011/07/aint-no-fat-bitchs-ramblings-going-to.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4321255157550148694/posts/default/5587547901544059180'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4321255157550148694/posts/default/5587547901544059180'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aristocratsempire.blogspot.com/2011/07/aint-no-fat-bitchs-ramblings-going-to.html' title='Ain&apos;t no fat bitch&apos;s ramblings going to bring me down~'/><author><name>Vanessa</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12177923736916376788</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-VBKHX1i-A6E/TaCWpOiOavI/AAAAAAAAAB0/LAwth6NMg4M/s220/55679_455530758112_522108112_5371428_7979926_o.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4321255157550148694.post-8194183658771943377</id><published>2011-07-22T16:27:00.002+08:00</published><updated>2011-07-22T16:47:54.785+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Friday~</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;img src="http://i1128.photobucket.com/albums/m493/halusatonaka/tumblr_lo5dgl7XPO1qi1p5go1_500.gif" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;" And only silence stands between us ...

I only know she teaches in private schools, but not sure the content of what she teachers ... at least she gets paid like twice her previous pay which is SUPER GOOD :) HELLO MORE SHOPPING!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So anyways, yesterday I had a super fun day during PE playing Captain's Ball.&lt;br /&gt;A few of my class people and I had a mini-competition with another class and it was super funny.&lt;br /&gt;You can see the class jokers playing around jokingly and stuff.&lt;br /&gt;It really helps ease the tension among the whole game.&lt;br /&gt;Junhao also told us that the other class wanted a rematch and stuff next PE lesson.&lt;br /&gt;BRING IT ON MAN :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm kind of sad that I've to miss out all cheerleading trainings because of upcoming bitch Alvls and prelims.&lt;br /&gt;I've been studying more than my usual amount these past few days, in hopes of being able to make it up for all the other times I slacked and lazed around doing nothing for the whole day.&lt;br /&gt;Last night I was up all night watching the first 2 acts of Shakespear Richard the 3rd.&lt;br /&gt;I swear, reading the text along can just make one go to sleep, but if you watch the play and read along with them (the book is like subtitles!), it gets really easy to understand and so much more interesting.&lt;br /&gt;Sadly, I couldn't find Act 3 anywhere, so I stopped there and just continued reading on my own with some help from other people's notes.&lt;br /&gt;Gosh. I actually hate Shakespear, but my mom LOVES it to bits.&lt;br /&gt;She used to do MacBeth for her lit text and she totally fell in love with it since then.&lt;br /&gt;Bleh.&lt;br /&gt;If only she had done Richard III, would I then be able to ask her to explain the whole damn story to me. LOL.&lt;br /&gt;I'm not saying that Richard III sucks, it is just so hard to understand sometimes, you just want to throw your book into the fire.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So anyways, today I did Maths and just thought I should take a break.&lt;br /&gt;I can bid goodbye to going out with Baby since my mother is keeping a super close eye on me.&lt;br /&gt;:(&lt;br /&gt;Baby is sleeping soundly on the sofa after coming back from OT today, so yea I'm bored D:&lt;br /&gt;Thank GOD for tumblr and online shopping :)&lt;br /&gt;It has been a while since I last shopped online, but I'm thinking of doing it now since it takes about 3-4months to ship to Singapore.&lt;br /&gt;Just right about the time I end Alevels.&lt;br /&gt;Heehee.&lt;br /&gt;Straight away Alvls, Baby says we can quickly book our tickets to fly to China.&lt;br /&gt;And this time he said his mother is making plans for all of us to go JAPAN!&lt;br /&gt;OMG CAN YOU BELIEVE IT?! JAPAN~! Heehee.&lt;br /&gt;I hope Japan will be safe then! Because I know for sure my mother won't let me go if something tragic were to happen in Japan.&lt;br /&gt;Got to pray for them there.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are like so many things I'm waiting for after Alvls.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-My DSLR (yea I managed to postpone the buying of my dslr till after Alvls because I know I would be too distracted to study if I had that camera with me all day long).&lt;br /&gt;-Trip to China/Japan!

But since there were not enough bases, we didn't do any advanced stunts, just simple basic stunts :)&lt;br /&gt;Naturally, we took lots and lots of pictures!&lt;br /&gt;But I'm just going to upload a few here.. :D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://a8.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/269107_10150253282663113_522108112_7488964_1454864_n.jpg" height="432" width="323" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Baby and I stunting :) I super love this picture, the lighting is just so beautiful.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://a3.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/268397_10150253283678113_522108112_7488976_6144057_n.jpg" height="432" width="323" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Katrianne and Lihui :)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://a5.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/262249_10150253284053113_522108112_7488982_5054948_n.jpg" height="432" width="323" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I really like how she poses :) Confident and pretty~&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://a6.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/268520_10150253284363113_522108112_7488986_1016181_n.jpg" height="432" width="323" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lihui up on extension :D&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://a1.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/268976_10150253285008113_522108112_7488994_3445611_n.jpg" height="432" width="323" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;This is just Baby and I fooling around ... :P&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://a2.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/262004_10150253286653113_522108112_7489007_1695546_n.jpg" height="323" width="432" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;The three female musketeers!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://a8.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/270429_10150253286948113_522108112_7489012_4129574_n.jpg" height="432" width="323" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Baby looks damn gay here, but I still have to post this up because it is SUPER FUNNY.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://a4.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/262328_10150253288038113_522108112_7489033_981013_n.jpg" height="432" width="323" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another funny picture contributed by Aaron and his perv smile + actions.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After all that beach-mess, we went to bathe and freshen up before going for dinner! :)&lt;br /&gt;We went to ThaiExpress and man the food there is like SUPER HOT.&lt;br /&gt;I ended up eating nothing but desserts and drinking lots of water.

"&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Baby has been bugging me about not blogging.&lt;br /&gt;So here I am!&lt;br /&gt;:P&lt;br /&gt;Exams are finally over and I've taken a good long weekends rest and have gotten fat.&lt;br /&gt;Yes literally.&lt;br /&gt;The scale did not change, but my abs are gone.&lt;br /&gt;Sadness.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ANYWAYS, I'm glad I indulged myself well throughout the weekend because tomorrow is another hardcore studying + dieting day.&lt;br /&gt;Sounds harsh. I know right D:&lt;br /&gt;But it's for my own good yadah yadah~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yesterday Baby and I went to catch an impromptu movie!&lt;br /&gt;We woke up around 10am and we were just lazing around after breakfast.&lt;br /&gt;Then guess what?&lt;br /&gt;Baby all of a sudden wanted to watch Transformers.&lt;br /&gt;So the both of us went online and checked the different theaters with their time slots and seat capacity.&lt;br /&gt;And we managed to find one at Iluma which had a movie at around 1.20pm with really good seats!&lt;br /&gt;Baby quickly booked the tickets online and I'm glad we did because by the time we reached there, the good seats were all gone! :P&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh right, on the MRT, we witnessed a somewhat scary sight.&lt;br /&gt;There was this unsupervised kid who was like super playful and his parents were busy talking to one another, they didn't pay much attention to him.&lt;br /&gt;Then he playfully placed his hand on the MRT door, of which it opened upon arriving at the station and the kid's hand was stuck at the door.&lt;br /&gt;He started crying like crazy, and at first all the commuters thought that it was just a kid crying. No biggie.&lt;br /&gt;Then he started screaming and shouting like mad which of course drew the attention of everybody.&lt;br /&gt;Thank goodness a commuter was fast enough to press that red button which had a $5000 fine if you pressed it for fun.&lt;br /&gt;And the train driver didn't close the door.&lt;br /&gt;Imagine if that happened, I bet the kid would have lost his hand.&lt;br /&gt;It took quite a while for the kid to squeeze his hand out, but he kept screaming and shouting.&lt;br /&gt;And after much delay, we were finally on our way again.&lt;br /&gt;That's why sometimes I hate kids who are so playful on the train.&lt;br /&gt;This is a good lesson for him not to be such a public nuisance and learn how to have good manners in public.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;BACK TO TOPIC,&lt;br /&gt;After the movie, I was super in love with it but Baby was quite disappointed at some points.&lt;br /&gt;I still thought it was alright, since I'm a big fan of Transformers and Steven Spielberg :D&lt;br /&gt;We made our way to Cityhall to meet with Cc's students.&lt;br /&gt;One of them wanted to get her Topshop card, so we accompanied her there since I wanted to check out some of Topshop clothes.&lt;br /&gt;Afterwards we split up and had dinner.&lt;br /&gt;I had my super awesome 酿豆腐, while Baby had his favourite laksa.&lt;br /&gt;We then walked all the way from ION to Plaza Singapura, which I wanted to see whether they had anymore Cath Kidston Iphone cases left.&lt;br /&gt;Unfortunately, they didn't have any new stocks :(&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ohright, I'm super super in love with Baby's anniversary present to me.&lt;br /&gt;Guess what he got me! Heehee.&lt;br /&gt;He got me this super super kawaii HelloKitty Polaroid instax mini, imported straight from Japan! Along with 2 stacks of HelloKitty polaroid films and one normal stack.&lt;br /&gt;I was overjoyed. I've always been wanting a Polaroid camera and he gave me one! A HELLOKITTY ONE SOMEMORE! Omg overjoy~&lt;br /&gt;Here are some pictures of it!&lt;br /&gt;I'm like super scared to use it because the films are like too cute to be used up!&lt;br /&gt;So I must wait for a joyous occasion to use it :P Heehee.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://a8.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/264906_10150247529453113_522108112_7425386_7318091_n.jpg" height="432" width="329" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://a2.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/263989_10150247529508113_522108112_7425387_8179753_n.jpg" height="432" width="329" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://a6.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/263508_10150247529813113_522108112_7425391_6346848_n.jpg" height="432" width="329" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://a1.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/269592_10150247529553113_522108112_7425388_4349657_n.jpg" height="432" width="329" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ISN'T IT JUST SO BEAUTIFUL AND AWESOME?!?!?!

"&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have been doing Maths for about one week now, managed to finish covering/practicing all the tested chapters.&lt;br /&gt;It has truly been a mad rush.&lt;br /&gt;For two nights, I drank RedBull and was up till 3am+ doing Maths.&lt;br /&gt;There is a plus and minus side to it .......&lt;br /&gt;The plus side is that I get to do more revision at one shot, and the next morning I will feel quite alright, no tardiness whatsoever.&lt;br /&gt;The minus side to it is that I get super HIGH in the wee hours of the morning while studying.&lt;br /&gt;Seriously.&lt;br /&gt;Baby has been accompanying me this entire week even through the late night studying, despite having work the next day.&lt;br /&gt;And he has seen me gone mad with RedBull.&lt;br /&gt;I just feel so quirky, like everything I see/hear is super funny! And I will keep laughing, and I will also disturb Baby every now and then.&lt;br /&gt;Hahahaha what a blast.&lt;br /&gt;I'm quite happy with my pace with Maths, and today is my last day finishing up everything for Maths before I revise the last chapter of Econs and do a bit of GP tomorrow and Sunday.&lt;br /&gt;Time seems to pass really fast ... and I hate it!&lt;br /&gt;I NEED MORE TIME! D:&lt;br /&gt;Late night studying again I suppose? :P&lt;br /&gt;Ohright, and guess what? I only had like 3 hours of sleep today and I still feel great.&lt;br /&gt;Slept around 7am in the morning because the Redbull was just too effective.&lt;br /&gt;Then woke up around 10am ... had a slow breakfast, enjoying my super delicious blueberry cheese tart my mother bought for me.&lt;br /&gt;Hohoho life is good.&lt;br /&gt;Then went onto Tumblr for a while .... reblog a few stuff here and there.&lt;br /&gt;I'm so happy that one of my most favourite posts of Sheldon has about 91 notes! So exciting! Heeheee.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyways, besides that, I managed to write up two achievements for my T3A, now I've to wait for my teachers to approve them.&lt;br /&gt;BUT, I've no idea what to write for the third one D:&lt;br /&gt;I wrote about me being the Economics Representative for the first one, and the second one was the external Cheer coach thingy ...&lt;br /&gt;SO WHAT ABOUT THE THIRD?!&lt;br /&gt;Gosh, I wished I had gone to do some OCIP so that I can meekly include that in my T3A, but NO!&lt;br /&gt;I was too afraid of flying with my parents/Baby beside me.&lt;br /&gt;LOL.&lt;br /&gt;Stupid right? :P&lt;br /&gt;So I'm like trying to extract ideas from my friends to see how I can squeeze anything inside. HAHAHAHAHA.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ohyea, on a random side note, my elder brother found an iPhone 3GS while cabbing home from work one day and he kept it.&lt;br /&gt;He already has one iPhone 4G and one iPhone 3GS, now he has another.&lt;br /&gt;Like wth is he doing man?!&lt;br /&gt;:P&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, I'm heading back to study right now.&lt;br /&gt;But first I need to take an afternoon bath or else I will feel damn sleepy D:&lt;br /&gt;Hope I have the time to go running today because I've not been exercising the past few days and I managed to piss out like 1kg last night by drinking lots of water and visiting the loo like throughout the night.&lt;br /&gt;Someone save me.&lt;br /&gt;Hahaha, toodles~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;♥♥♥♥Baby.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;PS: To Baby, thank you so much for accompanying me throughout my endless studying nights. This is one of the biggest sacrifices ever, and I appreciate it a lot :) I love you so much darling and a huge thanks for everything you have done for me these past weeks.

"&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Managed to cover as much topics I can for Maths, but I think my pace can be faster when I'm not watching Family Guy while studying :P LOL.&lt;br /&gt;Yesterday not only did I watched Family Guy, I also watched like Sucker Punch and No Strings Attached with my mother.&lt;br /&gt;Well since it was her day off, I guess she REALLY wanted to watch something.&lt;br /&gt;So I helped her find the website for online viewing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I watched Sucker Punch on the big screens, and it was very disappointing.&lt;br /&gt;Even though this is my second time watching it, I still don't get the plot.&lt;br /&gt;Like what?!&lt;br /&gt;I only understood the part about guardian angels etc, but the rest are just humba jumba to me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And I am probably never ever going to watch movies with sexual scenes with my mother again.&lt;br /&gt;At every sexual jokes or scene, she would be like squirming like a little girl.&lt;br /&gt;OMG. Can you believe it?! Hahaha&lt;br /&gt;It's not like she ahems* hahahahahahahahahahahaha wutttt.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So anyways, I didn't study overnight last night because of some complications.&lt;br /&gt;Sadness, but it's alright now :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh yes and this post is about me complaining about some people at STOMP.&lt;br /&gt;Seriously. Some of them need a to give it a rest!!!!!&lt;br /&gt;I hate it whenever people upload couples on the MRT hugging or doing the 'octopus' (it's when you and your boyfriend are sitting next to each other and you put your legs on his) or even when a foreign Caucasian sits on her boyfriend lap.&lt;br /&gt;Seriously?! Must you upload such shit?!&lt;br /&gt;I mean come on! It's not like they are having sex or making out on the train!!!!!!!!&lt;br /&gt;Hugging is one of the most basic and innocent form of how people show that they love each other.&lt;br /&gt;And the 'octopus' issue, oh come on, it's not like they are obstructing anybody or disturbing anybody, why should they be posted up STOMP?!&lt;br /&gt;About the whole 'sitting-on-the-lap' thing, I also don't see what is the problem with it.&lt;br /&gt;Must Singaporeans be so itty bitty about every single thing they see?!&lt;br /&gt;What they are doing are so innocent that even a baby does it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!&lt;br /&gt;WTF.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Those who took pictures of couples making out sexily at some public place with people staring, then yes perhaps it is justifiable to put them up on STOMP - the wall of shame.&lt;br /&gt;But shouldn't you perhaps go up to them and tell them off about their actions in public instead of hiding at one corner with a camera on the ready?&lt;br /&gt;You are no better than a peeping tom.&lt;br /&gt;If you tried advising them to keep their actions on the down-low and yet they do not listen, then if you put their pictures up on STOMP, I find it perfectly understandable.&lt;br /&gt;Since they refused to stop, they should all the more be shamed.&lt;br /&gt;BUT!!! Taking pictures of couples hugging or kissing lightly in public places just goes to show how immature that STOMPER is.&lt;br /&gt;And yes, I will just deduce that that particular STOMPER is one forever-alone guy/girl who can't seem to keep their hormones in check and when they see a couple just hugging.&lt;br /&gt;It is a cry for attention to want to hit to big on STOMP, thus takes the innocent couple's picture and places it up on STOMP.&lt;br /&gt;Only to realize that he becomes infamous instead.&lt;br /&gt;Seriously, I dare you to go and search for one post about a couple hugging and you can see how many bad comments there are, majority of them directed to the person who posted it up.&lt;br /&gt;Such a pathetic person.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I've always thought STOMP was a platform that Singaporeans are able to access to the different lifestyles sections.&lt;br /&gt;There are the Youth Section, the Teachers Section etc etc ... and the most famous Singapore Seen Section where people are allowed to voice their rage/view on a particular topic.&lt;br /&gt;However, I find that lately, Singaporeans make it more like their complaining section.&lt;br /&gt;Every minor incident they find, they MUST put it up on STOMP and make it look huge.&lt;br /&gt;One such example would be the Caucasian girl wearing a pair of really short shorts.&lt;br /&gt;DUDE WTF. First of all, I am able to recognize that she bought that pair from Topshop.&lt;br /&gt;But that is not the main point of course.&lt;br /&gt;The issue I'm driving at here is that she is really tall, comparing her height from people around her, and yes she has really long legs.&lt;br /&gt;So when she wears such shorts, it will definitely look super short on her since she is like TALL.&lt;br /&gt;If I were to wear it, I will make it look like a normal pair of shorts because I have short legs.&lt;br /&gt;SO WHY THE NEED TO FLAME HER ON STOMP! LIKE WTF MAN.&lt;br /&gt;It is not like she is exposing her bosoms or her butt! She is just showing off her really nice long and slender legs so what the hell is that STOMPER's problem?!&lt;br /&gt;Are you jealous that she has sexier legs than you?! Are you jealous that she can afford nice shorts and not you?!&lt;br /&gt;PLEASE STOP IT WITH YOUR WHIMPERING WHIMSICAL COMPLAINS.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The reason why I go on STOMP is to read on more about the more important articles like finding of the body at Bedok Reservoir or to read on the unique/quirky/interesting articles.&lt;br /&gt;But somehow, STOMP is being flooded by online pussies who HAVE to complain about every single minor issues which they somehow accidentally threaded upon.&lt;br /&gt;I don't give a rat's ass if a couple were to hug on the MRT train.&lt;br /&gt;I don't give a hoot about girls wearing short shorts.&lt;br /&gt;BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT IN THE WRONG.&lt;br /&gt;Why is it that we Singaporeans do not think twice before wanting to shame others on STOMP?!&lt;br /&gt;Do you think these people will feel happy to see that they are up on STOMP WHEN THEY DID NOTHING WRONG?!&lt;br /&gt;I swear some Singaporeans are just such pussies.&lt;br /&gt;GROW UP MAN.&lt;br /&gt;I guess some people are just meant to be petty asses.&lt;br /&gt;And if I see my blog post up on STOMP, it sure goes to say how petty some Singaporeans are.&lt;br /&gt;I'm not flaming anybody or STOMP, I am a BIG fan of STOMP and I go on to their website like every day if I managed to find the time.&lt;br /&gt;But, I'm just targeting this post to a group of people there who has to complain about every minor issues they stumble upon.&lt;br /&gt;Please grow up!!!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So that's all I've for today.&lt;br /&gt;Got to go back to studying D:&lt;br /&gt;Hahahaha.&lt;br /&gt;Toodles~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;♥♥♥♥Baby.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4321255157550148694-7655529906175397532?l=aristocratsempire.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aristocratsempire.blogspot.com/feeds/7655529906175397532/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://aristocratsempire.blogspot.com/2011/06/bleh.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4321255157550148694/posts/default/7655529906175397532'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4321255157550148694/posts/default/7655529906175397532'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aristocratsempire.blogspot.com/2011/06/bleh.html' title='Bleh.'/><author><name>Vanessa</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12177923736916376788</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-VBKHX1i-A6E/TaCWpOiOavI/AAAAAAAAAB0/LAwth6NMg4M/s220/55679_455530758112_522108112_5371428_7979926_o.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4321255157550148694.post-5549541581983142594</id><published>2011-06-22T11:48:00.003+08:00</published><updated>2011-06-22T11:52:06.563+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Fffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff.</title><content type='html'>Holidays are coming to an end, BOO WHORE.&lt;br /&gt;How I wish I could extend about another week or perhaps 2 weeks?

Heehee.&lt;br /&gt;Then after going to the Apple Store and getting my screen protector fixed, we quickly rushed back home just in time for the steamboat + bbq!&lt;br /&gt;Thank goodness all the 好料 are still there.&lt;br /&gt;Had smoked salmon, beef, thick juicy prawns and my favourite fishball!&lt;br /&gt;My dad also did something new and instead of putting the whole egg inside the soup to cook it, he cracked the shell open and just poured everything in it.&lt;br /&gt;The result of that was ... SUPERB!&lt;br /&gt;:D&lt;br /&gt;I skipped eating the liver because I don't eat anything like that .. it is just weird.&lt;br /&gt;But I can totally see Baby gorging it down .. hahaha silly boy!&lt;br /&gt;After steamboat + bbq, we had durians for dessert.&lt;br /&gt;WEIRD I KNOW! But awesome~&lt;br /&gt;Daddy bought a few good ones and a few sour ones which was totally offsetting.&lt;br /&gt;But my mother loved the sour ones ....... sheeesh. Hahaha :P&lt;br /&gt;The photos are still in Baby's iphone, so I keep forgetting to upload them!!!&lt;br /&gt;Shall do it asap when he comes back home.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I also watched the Green Lantern yesterday with Baby :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b50/spiralrocks/movie_Green_Lantern_Teaser.jpg" height="456" width="300" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Was not as good as I expected it would be ... so to put it in simpler terms, it was somewhat quite disappointing.&lt;br /&gt;Maybe I say that because I'm basing this entire movie against X-Men First Class.&lt;br /&gt;Green Lantern has a good storyline, simple to understand, but I felt it hardly had any nice shocks to it like X-Men.&lt;br /&gt;X-Men may seem simple but there are quite a few twists to the plot like how Erik and Charles became such good friends yet they still ended up as enemies etc.&lt;br /&gt;Or how Charles helped Erik unlocked his fullest potential to only realize that he would use it against him one day.&lt;br /&gt;So all these tiny little details are what counts for a sturdy, complete, amazing storyline.&lt;br /&gt;Green Lantern somewhat misses these out.&lt;br /&gt;Like how Hal actually kept recalling how his dad died in the first part, but later on they just somewhat totally didn't mention about the dad anymore. Maybe it might not seem like a really important part, but they should just briefly mention how Hal perhaps stopped thinking of his father's death as a nightmare but more of a motivation etc?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Based on action, drama and visual effects, GL sure has them.&lt;br /&gt;You can see how planet earth was almost completely destroyed by a huge massive 'storm-cloud-look-alike-thingy' who sucks people's life-force+fears.&lt;br /&gt;But the fight between Hal and this bad guy was a really short fight compared to X-Men with their final battle when they were in the cross-roads of the Allied vs Axis.&lt;br /&gt;That fight was quite long and every moment of it was just filled with such breath-taking effects that compels you to hang on to your seats tightly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, I shall not spoil anymore for those who haven't watched either movies.&lt;br /&gt;Despite me seeming so against GL, I still think it is a good show to catch, and you might want to stick around after the movie ... There is like an added segment to the entire movie.&lt;br /&gt;But for X-Men, it is a DEFINITELY A GOOD SHOW NOT TO MISS! So you better watch it! Hahaha.&lt;br /&gt;Now, Baby is bugging me as to why I didn't watch X-Men with him instead, and I feel so bad because he knows that it was just super mind-blowing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And that is all for my post today.&lt;br /&gt;Hahahaha.&lt;br /&gt;Toodles~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;♥♥♥♥Baby.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4321255157550148694-8944895807703653076?l=aristocratsempire.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aristocratsempire.blogspot.com/feeds/8944895807703653076/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://aristocratsempire.blogspot.com/2011/06/sundaymonday.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4321255157550148694/posts/default/8944895807703653076'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4321255157550148694/posts/default/8944895807703653076'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aristocratsempire.blogspot.com/2011/06/sundaymonday.html' title='Sunday+Monday.'/><author><name>Vanessa</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12177923736916376788</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-VBKHX1i-A6E/TaCWpOiOavI/AAAAAAAAAB0/LAwth6NMg4M/s220/55679_455530758112_522108112_5371428_7979926_o.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4321255157550148694.post-6321072738724347230</id><published>2011-06-18T21:37:00.006+08:00</published><updated>2011-06-19T23:37:26.579+08:00</updated><title type='text'>ShoppingSpree.</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;img src="http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b50/spiralrocks/tumblr_leq4juBnrV1qedkago1_500.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;" Don't just reach for the skies. "&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Had a super eventful shopping day today! :D&lt;br /&gt;Baby and I left house at around 2pm even though we planned to do so at 12noon. Hahahaha.&lt;br /&gt;First stop was at Plaza Singpura.&lt;br /&gt;On our way there, we saw Malcolm with a group of friends, so I ran up to him and tapped him on his shoulder.&lt;br /&gt;Then Kevin ran up to me and said hi too!&lt;br /&gt;Hahaha totally didn't see him at first.&lt;br /&gt;After exchanging friendly greetings, we were back on track.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Our first few purchases was at a store called Toy Outpost and over there we bought stuff for our iphones :D Baby bought a yellow portable charger, while mine is pink!&lt;br /&gt;And I also bought a red color Cath Kidston iphone cover! :D Super chio.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://a4.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/262128_10150228308408113_522108112_7317701_5701383_n.jpg" height="374" width="278" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://a8.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/260039_10150228326838113_522108112_7317980_7211860_n.jpg" height="278" width="374" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Later we just roamed about at Plaza Singapura and bought some necessities from Daiso too. Haha.&lt;br /&gt;We also ate our dinner there.&lt;br /&gt;I ate Chicken Katsu Japanese Curry, while Baby ate some wanton mee. The dumplings were nice but I preferred my curry~ Heehee.&lt;br /&gt;From then, we walked all the way to ION. That's right, we WALKED.&lt;br /&gt;It took us about 15minutes but it was FUN since Baby was entertaining me all the while.&lt;br /&gt;One of the most stupidest thing he did was he crushed up a receipt and was throwing it in the air and catching it with one hand, and while we were walking past to Istana, he accidentally dropped the ball of receipt and it rolled around this policeman standing on guard. And Baby actually went to chase it, and he was practically running around the policeman. HAHAHAHA :P&lt;br /&gt;The policeman looked at him suspiciously and I burst out laughing. The policeman let out a smile as well as Baby finally caught the rolling ball of paper. HAHAHAHA.&lt;br /&gt;What a scene!!! Thank goodness they didn't think he was some terrorist and start tackling him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So we arrived at ION (finally), and we went straight to FRED PERRY!!!! :D&lt;br /&gt;We browsed through their shoes and clothes and we were hell bent on getting the shoes.&lt;br /&gt;We tried out quite a few pairs and I was quite sad that the girls' selection had such few pairs compared to the guys who had like thrice the amount.&lt;br /&gt;But I saw one which I really LIKE and Baby agreed it was nice too, so I settled with it.&lt;br /&gt;Baby got a pair with the same color as me and we can totally wear matching shoes out! Hahaha so fun :D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://a3.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/261298_10150228308828113_522108112_7317705_5956068_n.jpg" height="278" width="374" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After Fred Perry, we dropped by at Topshop where I tried on a few pieces which I fell in love at first sight. Unfortunately, I've no idea why, I suddenly dropped one size and now I find US 6 too big for me. And US 2 fits me nicely.&lt;br /&gt;I'm really shocked, but super happy at the same time.&lt;br /&gt;Heehee. I guess all those work outs finally paid off even though there is no change on the weighing scale.... :P&lt;br /&gt;In the end, I bought one flowery high-waist skirt which was super chio. Heehee. Totally matched the belt Baby bought for me quite some time ago! Heehee.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://a8.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/263152_10150228308613113_522108112_7317703_4780443_n.jpg" height="278" width="374" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The other few items were bought by me quite a long time ago. TOPSHOP MADNESS~!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Baby was feeling quite exhausted by then so we all headed home.&lt;br /&gt;Super happy with our shopping spree today~ Heehee it was definitely a happy happy day~&lt;br /&gt;Even Baby was super pleased with our purchases.&lt;br /&gt;Heehee.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Toodles~&lt;br /&gt;♥♥♥♥Baby.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4321255157550148694-6321072738724347230?l=aristocratsempire.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aristocratsempire.blogspot.com/feeds/6321072738724347230/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://aristocratsempire.blogspot.com/2011/06/shoppingspree.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4321255157550148694/posts/default/6321072738724347230'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4321255157550148694/posts/default/6321072738724347230'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aristocratsempire.blogspot.com/2011/06/shoppingspree.html' title='ShoppingSpree.'/><author><name>Vanessa</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12177923736916376788</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-VBKHX1i-A6E/TaCWpOiOavI/AAAAAAAAAB0/LAwth6NMg4M/s220/55679_455530758112_522108112_5371428_7979926_o.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4321255157550148694.post-1562555191045654191</id><published>2011-06-16T11:32:00.002+08:00</published><updated>2011-06-16T11:51:39.084+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Flawed.</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;img src="http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b50/spiralrocks/tumblr_lktt06QQUW1qaj5jro1_500.gif" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;" I already know I'm imperfect, you didn't have to emphasize it.

"&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Watched XMEN-FIRST CLASS today! Freaking awesome! Heehee.&lt;br /&gt;Was supposed to go down to the movies to watch it with Baby yesterday but we have to 省钱, so we ended up slacking at home playing SB LOL.&lt;br /&gt;But anyways, this morning I woke up super early to have breakfast with Baby.&lt;br /&gt;Apparently, somebody slept at 4am in the morning and he seemed like a half-assed zombie today. Hahaha so adorable :P&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After breakfast, my mother asked me whether I wanted to watch the movie with her since my dad was not free. At first, I didn't want to since I've got to stay at home and study, then I thought about it for a while and guess WHY NOT?!&lt;br /&gt;Besides, it has been a while since I last went out with my mother.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But my mother was so kiasu! She wanted to watch the earliest movie slot and we rushed there at around 10am+.&lt;br /&gt;LIKE WHO IN THE WORLD WATCHES A MOVIE SO EARLY?!&lt;br /&gt;We did get the first slot at GV and she was so excited. Omgawd, sometimes my mother can be so childishly cute.&lt;br /&gt;She bought the nachos set and we were munching all the way in the cinema.&lt;br /&gt;When the movie started, 3/4 of our nachos were already gone. Can you believe it?!&lt;br /&gt;And when it finished, she gave me the remaining box to lick up the nacho cheese.&lt;br /&gt;FATTENING, but so delicious! Hahahaha I'm so fat D:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The movie was damn kick-ass. You thought that the 3rd movie was good, you have got to catch this one.&lt;br /&gt;It might be full of angst at first, but it really developed out really nicely and I was just amazed and awed throughout.&lt;br /&gt;And Professor X was such a 'playboy' when he was young! I totally could not believe it, but it was really funny.&lt;br /&gt;And Magneto was the character who contributed the most angst. Like seriously.&lt;br /&gt;Overall, I LOVED THE MOVIE TO BITS.&lt;br /&gt;They explored a lot of little details as to how the Cerebro came about and how Charles started using it to find mutants, how Erik got that funny looking helmet which he wears it all the time with his Magneto costume, they also explored Raven's background (Mystique).&lt;br /&gt;I guess the best part was all the mutants using their powers and of course how Erik became damn powerful!&lt;br /&gt;The graphics were AMAZING, and the storyline has no loopholes whatsoever.&lt;br /&gt;SO IT IS A DEFINITE MUST WATCH! :D&lt;br /&gt;Heehee.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After the movie, I wanted to print out some pictures for Baby and I, unfortunately, I did not manage to do so due to some technical difficulties ... So :(&lt;br /&gt;My mother also bought the ingredients for her tiramisu! But she ain't baking it today as she says she needs her afternoon nap. LOL.&lt;br /&gt;We walked around for a while, looking at Topshop etc, but didn't buy anything. Hahaha, I'm not in the mood for much shopping today :P&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And here I am back at home.&lt;br /&gt;Supposed to start studying any time soon! Hahaha :P&lt;br /&gt;Oohh and my mother made me coffee - Starbucks style! It's nice :D Has a homely taste to it. Heehee.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh right, and I'm really taking a shine to my newest hairstyle.&lt;br /&gt;Got it done last week and I'm totally loving it right now.&lt;br /&gt;For those who didn't know, I rebonded + curled my hair and it costs me like $180+ but the quality is damn good. Hahaha :P&lt;br /&gt;Guess how long it took to do up my hair?&lt;br /&gt;6 freaking hours! I sat in the chair from 12noon all the way till 6plus.&lt;br /&gt;Almost died of hunger and exhaustion though .. lol.&lt;br /&gt;At first I felt like I looked like some aunty with permed hair, but slowly the curls spread out nicely and now I LOVE IT TTM :D Even Baby likes it! Heehee.&lt;br /&gt;But the difficult thing is to maintain it. Omg.&lt;br /&gt;I had to buy some curl enhancer for $30+ and it is recommended to apply it every day. But yea, I have not been doing so, only when I'm going out, will I then use it.&lt;br /&gt;But it is still nice and curly. Heehee.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, that's all for today~&lt;br /&gt;Going running with Baby later at night, hope he doesn't die by the sidewalk :S Hahaha silly boy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;♥♥♥♥Meow~&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4321255157550148694-4307208823133017372?l=aristocratsempire.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aristocratsempire.blogspot.com/feeds/4307208823133017372/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://aristocratsempire.blogspot.com/2011/06/x-men.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4321255157550148694/posts/default/4307208823133017372'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4321255157550148694/posts/default/4307208823133017372'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aristocratsempire.blogspot.com/2011/06/x-men.html' title='X-Men.'/><author><name>Vanessa</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12177923736916376788</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-VBKHX1i-A6E/TaCWpOiOavI/AAAAAAAAAB0/LAwth6NMg4M/s220/55679_455530758112_522108112_5371428_7979926_o.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4321255157550148694.post-4229076603347051266</id><published>2011-06-13T14:42:00.002+08:00</published><updated>2011-06-13T15:06:16.122+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Sundays.</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;img src="http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b50/spiralrocks/tumblr_lgxzq7Aemp1qfn1y7o1_400.png" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;" Keep calm and continue cheering. "&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Went to Sentosa with Baby yesterday.&lt;br /&gt;It was quite fail actually. We had no plans of going Sentosa yesterday since we had training in the afternoon. But Baby woke up super early and when he saw that it was finally not raining, he woke me up too and said "Let's go to SENTOSA!" (of course he said it in Chinese)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was still too tired as I slept at 2am+ the previous night and I was practically in the wake-me-up-and-I'll-PMS-in-your-face mode. But Baby still woke me up and I was like PMS-ing even when I was bathing. Baby was like rushing with the packing of extra clothing, mats, sunblock etc .. and I was simply amazed at how productive he can be when he wants to. HAHA :P&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So we set off at around 10am+ and reached Vivo at around 11.30am. I was like PISSED-OFF-HUNGRY as we didn't eat breakfast. Thus, we went to buy food, lots of food and dapao to Sentosa to eat.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Silly Baby kept pestering me to wear a set of bikini to Sentosa but I refuse! Because I'm not too confident of my body with curves all in the wrong areas, but I'm too shy of my thick thighs too! HAHAHA :P WTH RIGHT!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyways, we found a nice spot under a shade and we set our things up there. We had our wonderful lunch before Baby went off to suntan, while I sat under the shade and read my notes, at the same time, ogle at some hot hunky Caucasians. Haha I'm such a perv.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We left that place around 2.30pm and made our way to SP. Sadly, I forgot to take pictures before Baby went into the water, and he didn't want to take especially when his hair was all wet ... So, I had to force him to take a few with me under the conditions that I won't tag him on facebook. LOL, so petty!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://a3.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/249442_10150222947718113_522108112_7268555_7980291_n.jpg" height="367" width="367" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://a7.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/248423_10150222947798113_522108112_7268557_7866221_n.jpg" height="367" width="367" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://a2.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/247814_10150222947848113_522108112_7268559_6945833_n.jpg" height="367" width="367" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why does my Baby look so cute in this one? Hahaha :3&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Training that day was alright :) Jesse came down so we didn't do any pt, instead we just showed her some of the stunts we have been trying out for quite some time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After Jesse left, we did our usual training.&lt;br /&gt;First stunt was the 360degrees elevator. It was quite a tough nut to crack, but I managed to do so :D&lt;br /&gt;And then came B-toss! OMG :D Did a few basket tosses and it was awesome! I think I'm getting the hang of flying high in the air, which is a totally different feeling from Pop. But I hope I can try out pop twist some time soon! So that I can try that out for B-toss :D Heehee.&lt;br /&gt;Jiayous!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, I had a lot to think last night, and I realized that I have a habit of always undermining my own abilities or having no faith in myself. I guess it is true when they say that the toughest opponent you face is yourself, especially when you are so down in the dumps. I did a lot of thinking and I am really going to make a difference in my life. I don't want to be stuck with the same old me every year, I've to make some good changes in my personalities, my mindset etc.&lt;br /&gt;I've to put my very best in whatever I do, be it studies, love, or cheerleading. I've to really give it my all.&lt;br /&gt;And I want to thank my Baby for always standing by my side, helping me with the decisions I make, or just lending a listening ear to me whenever I am on my ranting spree. Thanks dear, I appreciate your kindness and I will definitely head your advices.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;♥♥♥♥&amp;amp;the battle has just begun.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4321255157550148694-4229076603347051266?l=aristocratsempire.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aristocratsempire.blogspot.com/feeds/4229076603347051266/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://aristocratsempire.blogspot.com/2011/06/sundays.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4321255157550148694/posts/default/4229076603347051266'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4321255157550148694/posts/default/4229076603347051266'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aristocratsempire.blogspot.com/2011/06/sundays.html' title='Sundays.'/><author><name>Vanessa</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12177923736916376788</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-VBKHX1i-A6E/TaCWpOiOavI/AAAAAAAAAB0/LAwth6NMg4M/s220/55679_455530758112_522108112_5371428_7979926_o.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4321255157550148694.post-3002810468361244404</id><published>2011-06-11T11:53:00.002+08:00</published><updated>2011-06-11T13:37:43.884+08:00</updated><title type='text'>CHEER!</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;img src="http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b50/spiralrocks/tumblr_lgzh8pmmfx1qgkqwoo1_400.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;" A goal which I'm aiming for. "&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I love raining, but for the past 2 weeks, I totally hate it.&lt;br /&gt;TO THE CORE.&lt;br /&gt;It keeps raining whenever I want to go to Sentosa with Baby!! GRRRRR, we even got everything ready! Our sunblock, tanning lotion, beach wear etc .... WTH.&lt;br /&gt;But ... that's not the main point here ...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cheer RAWR!&lt;br /&gt;Headed down to SP yesterday with a few others of my besties to have just some random cheer stunting.&lt;br /&gt;Before Baby arrived after his work, we did warm-up, pt and stretching. I swear, Kat and Lihui are like DAMN flexible even though it was their first time doing the intense stretching.&lt;br /&gt;I know Kat is damn flexible because she used to be in ballet, and she could even do a somewhat nice looking scorpion. Hahaha just need to practice more on balancing :P&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyways, when Baby finally came, we got down to real business. It was B-toss baby! :D I finally did my first successful B-toss with power height thanks to Bob and Baby! :)&lt;br /&gt;I'm so happy Baby said my B-toss looks nice, even though I felt I didn't reach up for the highest point, I still felt it was super high :D Heehee.&lt;br /&gt;Next is to master Basket Toss before I can try anything else up in the air! Omgggg so fun! :D Of course I still want to master how to do a Pop-Twist, because that will help me with the popping down from partner stunts. Argh, so many things to learn, so little time! D:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After cheer, we all headed down to have dinner at Clementi except for Bob who went home to mug. Crazy fellow. Hahahaha :P&lt;br /&gt;Jerry, Malcolm, Kat, Lihui, Baby and I went to the usual spot to eat.&lt;br /&gt;Kat bought this super horrible laksa which tasted like satay sauce .. it was seriously damn horrible! D:&lt;br /&gt;Thank goodness Baby and I shared a plate of BBQ Chicken Rice which was superb! :D&lt;br /&gt;And then we all headed home.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was a super eventful practice! I felt like I did a lot of things like doing a nice B-toss, stretching to my limit and PT-ing! :D My muscles are aching today which is a good sign that I have fully maximized myself yesterday! CHEERIOS~!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyways, that's all I've for today.&lt;br /&gt;Toodles~!&lt;br /&gt;♥♥♥♥Loving Cheer&amp;amp;Baby.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4321255157550148694-3002810468361244404?l=aristocratsempire.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aristocratsempire.blogspot.com/feeds/3002810468361244404/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://aristocratsempire.blogspot.com/2011/06/cheer.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4321255157550148694/posts/default/3002810468361244404'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4321255157550148694/posts/default/3002810468361244404'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aristocratsempire.blogspot.com/2011/06/cheer.html' title='CHEER!'/><author><name>Vanessa</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12177923736916376788</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-VBKHX1i-A6E/TaCWpOiOavI/AAAAAAAAAB0/LAwth6NMg4M/s220/55679_455530758112_522108112_5371428_7979926_o.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4321255157550148694.post-7113791327315727523</id><published>2011-05-31T23:33:00.003+08:00</published><updated>2011-06-01T00:26:22.981+08:00</updated><title type='text'>1YearBaby.</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;img src="http://a5.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/252519_10150212280313113_522108112_7169868_1479201_n.jpg" height="323" width="432" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;" Happy One Year Anniversary! "&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today is a really special day for Baby and I as we commemorate being together as lovers for one full year without having any "holes". (referring to those consensual on-off relationships, apparently some of my friends think its more convenient like that .. no idea why...)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I left the house and met Baby at CityHall MRT, apparently he reached there like half an hour earlier than me and I was not late! :P I guess he was too excited? Hahaha.&lt;br /&gt;So when I reached there, he surprised me with a HUGE bouquet of flowers! I was really shocked but of course super elated as well! I carried the super heavy bouquet all the way to a restaurant called Pariss at Marina Square.&lt;br /&gt;It was more like a buffet, a super expensive buffet because the food they offered there was like super ex and had a super wide spread - from Japanese food to American deserts to Chinese cuisines. Of course I went more for the Japanese food and deserts ... Wohohoho. But nevertheless, my Baby let me try out some new stuff as well :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://a3.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/254455_10150212276598113_522108112_7169803_6042420_n.jpg" height="367" width="367" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://a8.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/247151_10150212276693113_522108112_7169805_250977_n.jpg" height="367" width="367" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://a3.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/254903_10150212276783113_522108112_7169808_7774325_n.jpg" height="280" width="374" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Our first HUGE spread of food!

Hahahaha :P&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After eating till our fill, we rested for a while before we headed out .. SHOPPING!! :D&lt;br /&gt;We made our way to Zara to check out their summer fashion there, and it was well, quite disappointing :( Never mind .. hahaha so we went to Topshop and there was when the madness began.&lt;br /&gt;I saw so many things I LIKED, it was like love at first sight :D&lt;br /&gt;I tried on quite a lot of clothes + shoes and decided on quite a few pieces for my sexy summer wear. HOHOHO :S *SHY* (like real :P)&lt;br /&gt;Bought this bare-back summer dress ... hahahaha omg.&lt;br /&gt;And this shorts which goes quite nicely with bikini, for people like me who are more conscious of my thick thighs. Hahaha :P&lt;br /&gt;As for my shoes, (yes I bought shoes again haha) I saw this super adorable slippers + ribbon and I immediately decided to buy it.&lt;br /&gt;I shall not state the total price here, but hohohoho, I have no regrets whatsoever!! :D :D :D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After shopping, we went decided to head back to Tampines since Baby had difficulties walking around with a super big belly. Hahah my silly Baby :P&lt;br /&gt;It was a super fun ride back home, as we kept laughing at the random things in our lives. I guess the best enjoyment comes from the simplest things in life :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That concludes my super happy day today.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And here is a note for my dearest darling Baby:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dearest Baby,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It has been one full year since I've officially became your girlfriend after three months of wooing which includes gyming, eating lunch together and smsing each other till 3am in the morning. At first was like a honeymoon, everything fell into place and we were like giving way to each other non-stop. After the honeymoon, I felt like part of our relationship chipped apart, and I thought perhaps it was the end, but, you pursued on, never wanting to give up this beautiful bond we had with each other, and I continued on with you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fights raged on endlessly and I really felt like perhaps it was the end, but you gave way to me, and patched things up with me throughout. With you beside me, I felt like you were more than a boyfriend to me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You were like a coach to me - always encouraging me to go beyond my limitations and expectations and to always strive for the very best in cheerleading, in trainings, in studies and in life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You were like a friend to me - I could spend some non-lovey-dovey time with you, just telling you about my day, bitching to you about some idiots in my life, just going to the gym training with you ...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You were like a life-mentor to me - I've learned so many new stuff just being with you. I have learned to be more independent. I have learned that I need to grow up and be more matured.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Best of all, you are the best lover - teaching me that love has no bounds, that with love, even with the hardest sacrifices, it is all so worth it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This one year has been like a roller-coaster ride for me, with so many ups and downs for us. But even so, we are still attached to each other, with love that grows stronger each day. It feels like our "honeymoon" period is officially over with us knowing each other's personalities, good and bad, in and out. Despite knowing my flaws, you still continue to love me and help me correct it bit by bit, encouraging me every step of the way. When I feel discouraged or all-so-helpless you will always make me smile by making yourself the butt of some joke.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Baby, there are so many things I want to thank you for it, but the most important thing I want to say is that I love you so much and this one year has been the best ever! :D I know that the next few years will be quite difficult because of my studies in University and your increasingly amount of work as a budding business man, maybe we might not be able to spend as much time together, but I'm sure that we are able to overcome such obstacles together.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I love you so much, and Happy One Year Anniversary :)&lt;br /&gt;A 999999999x Muacksmuacks to my darling + a 99999999999999x hugs to my wintermelon.&lt;br /&gt;♥♥♥♥You're like the air I breathe.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4321255157550148694-7113791327315727523?l=aristocratsempire.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aristocratsempire.blogspot.com/feeds/7113791327315727523/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://aristocratsempire.blogspot.com/2011/05/1yearbaby.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4321255157550148694/posts/default/7113791327315727523'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4321255157550148694/posts/default/7113791327315727523'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aristocratsempire.blogspot.com/2011/05/1yearbaby.html' title='1YearBaby.'/><author><name>Vanessa</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12177923736916376788</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-VBKHX1i-A6E/TaCWpOiOavI/AAAAAAAAAB0/LAwth6NMg4M/s220/55679_455530758112_522108112_5371428_7979926_o.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4321255157550148694.post-7704122111966558772</id><published>2011-05-30T11:26:00.003+08:00</published><updated>2011-05-30T11:57:30.085+08:00</updated><title type='text'>SHOP!</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;img src="http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b50/spiralrocks/tumblr_lepyq8IHKY1qbqtb0o1_500.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;" Chocolate fiesta! "&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Time to update on what happened last week :D&lt;br /&gt;Yes school finally ended, blahblahblah, I still got to mug for CT2s, which is not a joke man. :(&lt;br /&gt;SO ANYWAYS, I finally got around to giving Baby a treat! Hahaha :P&lt;br /&gt;But first thing first .. we were shoe-shopping! Hahaha. Actually it was just me doing all the shopping though .. hmmmmmz.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We went to Marina Square Topshop and I totally saw the vintage shoe which I've been eyeing all these while, but guess what?! It didn't have my size. So heck, we asked the salesgirl to check with the other branches to see whether the other branches had any stock. Sadly, none of them had any more stocks left SOBS* I felt alright, but Baby seemed devastated because he really liked that shoe and wanted me to wear it. Hahahaha.&lt;br /&gt;We headed down to Zara to see their shoes there too, but the women casual shoes were ... just not nice. :( BUT, their heels were super gorgeous. Unfortunately, I've too many heels at home, so no heels this time! D:&lt;br /&gt;Baby and I also went to check the French restaurant which we would be dining for our anniversary coming up at the end of this month, which was TOMORROW! OMG :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Since we had nothing else to do in Marina Square, our next destination was ORCHARD.&lt;br /&gt;We quickly took the MRT to Orchard and the first place we went to was Wisma Topshop. Their topshop there was super tiny as it was in Isetan, and yes, they didn't have the shoe there either. BUMMER.&lt;br /&gt;So we headed to ION to check out other shoes. I wanted to buy Havaianas slippers because some of them were quite chio, but the outlet at ION was somewhat disappointing. So we continued along, UNTIL, we saw a Topshop there at ION. ARE YOU SERIOUS?! Hahaha.&lt;br /&gt;We quickly rushed in and guess what?! YES, we found the shoe I've wanted, but it was a different colour, but it was still beautiful :) Heehee.&lt;br /&gt;It was the last pair there and I was soooo raving to get it. Baby could totally tell, because I practically snatched it off the display :P&lt;br /&gt;It costs about $119 and well they had a 10% discount, and Baby graciously paid for it.&lt;br /&gt;We were at the counter, and I asked him to help me whip out my wallet, but he whipped out his wallet instead. I thought he made a mistake and asked again, then he smiled, and I was like OMG!!!!!! *SQUEALS TILL NO END* But I still felt bad. :(&lt;br /&gt;So I treated him to dinner! Heehee.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I actually wanted to bring him to Itacho Sushi, but he chose to eat at XinWang AGAIN. Hahaha, so we went there :)&lt;br /&gt;Well yea, we took some pictures of ourselves ..

I'm more Westernized, while he still remains like a traditional Chinese. Hahaha :P&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://a4.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/251699_10150210570903113_522108112_7149405_5739798_n.jpg" height="367" width="367" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://a2.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/249521_10150210571443113_522108112_7149412_7548629_n.jpg" height="367" width="367" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On the left is some French Toast with Icecream and super thick caramel. It was just heavenly. The toast may seem rather hard to cut at first, but just dip it with the right amount of ice-cream and caramel, it is simply lovely :D On the right is Japanese Mochi, nothing much to say about it, just that their portions are small, but still very nice to eat :) Not so sticky, and not so hard to swallow :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://a3.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/248098_10150210571508113_522108112_7149415_7138148_n.jpg" height="367" width="367" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is their Siew Mai. SUPER DELICIOUS. I love it there :D Omgosh, heavenly~ Hahaha. But still, I think I've eaten better ones before.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://a1.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/253897_10150210571558113_522108112_7149416_1597242_n.jpg" height="367" width="367" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Baby ordered the Beef Baked Rice and it was really nice :D They didn't give too much cheese, they didn't give too little beef sauce - just the right portions :D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Baby and I ordered this little because the French Toast killed us all, the portion of it was SUPER BIG and we were practically super hammered after eating this. Hahaha :P&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After dinner, we went to Far East to do more shopping! Ohright, I forgot to mention, I bought two slippers from Rubi because they were super chio! One of them was like flowery flowery, and the other had a super nice shade of brown :D&lt;br /&gt;We didn't do much at Far East, so we headed back to Tampines straight after that. Funny thing was that we went back to Topshop where I did more shopping. Saw a few pieces I liked, but in the end I went with just a black top. Super chio and it is somewhat body-hugging. Baby said it was time to strut off my body, even when I said I looked horrible swollen in those. HAHAHA :P BUT, it is a good incentive to want to start losing the fats around my waist! HAHA :P&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Spent quite a lot on that day, but it was super worth it! Haha totally didn't regret any of my shopping decisions :D HOORAY.&lt;br /&gt;That's all I have for this post, except to wish all those who are taking O levels Chinese today a SUPER BIG "ALL THE BEST!!!" :D&lt;br /&gt;To my dearest younger brother Joel, to my darling cuzzy Missy Katrianne and to the super buff Malcolm. God Bless you guys and just do your best, while God will do the rest :D JIAYOUS!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Toodles~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;♥♥♥♥&amp;amp;He's too sexy for his shirt.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4321255157550148694-7704122111966558772?l=aristocratsempire.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aristocratsempire.blogspot.com/feeds/7704122111966558772/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://aristocratsempire.blogspot.com/2011/05/shop.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4321255157550148694/posts/default/7704122111966558772'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4321255157550148694/posts/default/7704122111966558772'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aristocratsempire.blogspot.com/2011/05/shop.html' title='SHOP!'/><author><name>Vanessa</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12177923736916376788</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-VBKHX1i-A6E/TaCWpOiOavI/AAAAAAAAAB0/LAwth6NMg4M/s220/55679_455530758112_522108112_5371428_7979926_o.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4321255157550148694.post-742990067511040039</id><published>2011-05-28T20:46:00.001+08:00</published><updated>2011-05-29T21:42:37.232+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Kungfu2!</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;img src="http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b50/spiralrocks/tumblr_lekco4KhZp1qbs8umo1_500.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;" With white hearts, and pure mind.

Freaking horrible.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The both of us went there after my tuition and the movie was super funny!&lt;br /&gt;I tell you, baby Po is like SUPER ADORABLE! :D Hahaha. I could almost squeeze his fat puffy cheeks. Omgawd.&lt;br /&gt;But of course, I won't say anymore - shall not spoil it for anyone, but I have to say that the storyline this time was much satisfying than the first one.&lt;br /&gt;There was a much fulfilled plot with lots more action! :)&lt;br /&gt;So it is definitely a must watch for those who think that the first movie was good.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;:D&lt;br /&gt;♥♥♥♥Loving my Baby.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4321255157550148694-742990067511040039?l=aristocratsempire.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aristocratsempire.blogspot.com/feeds/7429
