Like wat KE's msn nick reads, "wtf is XXXX thinking, treating us like criminals". The most crucial part has been changed. I got no desire to go thru another round of inquiry, or fact finding as what they claimed.

On the other hand, Chunky's nick simply comprises of 2 words: Black Thursday.

Indeed, it was such a black, black Thur.

The atmosphere was somber as each of us, absolutely being treated like criminals, were being taken to a holding rm, den being "escorted" to the chamber of punishment to wait for the final verdict.

I felt like i committed arson, oppz, or did i just murder a family of five?? Yupz, sarcasm intended. But why wouldn't I? Honestly, i din see myself commiting any major acts of atrocities to deserve this treatment. Correction. It should be described as an ordeal. Totally unpleasant n nerve-wrecking ordeal...

Im indignant. Felt totally humiliated by this whole saga. Never in my life was i ever treated in such a manner.

Cant believe there is gg to be yet another round of tok on this issue again. Pep tok? Amazing rite? Trying to give us a pat on the back aft all the damage is done? Oh pls, i cant feel the pat at all. I oni noe i was being slapped on the back. N a hard one for sure.

Suckz.

P.S: Decided not to feel sorry for myself again...not to let myself ever end up in that sorry state again...not again..never again..

There is oni 1 word to describe Jay's concert: Fabulous.

Everyone was absolutely swept off their feet by him. Be it how much we had lamented abt the expensive tixs previously, each cent and penny was paid off by his remarkable performances.

Yeshhh!!!!!!!!! No doubts abt my love for Jielun! I love u Jay!!!

Mi, HJ n Charmaine..See the stage behind? Dat's how near we are to the stage!

Jielun, We are all your ardent supporters!!!!

Mi n Jas..

With the inclusion of Sharon..

Grp pic!!!

I like this pic alot! Dun u tink we jitao look like those "obasans" from Jielun's fanclub? LOL.

In the midst of the concert..

N yes, the camwhoring contds..Hahaha

Can u spot Jielun singing behind us? keke

N now, the real STAR of the nite.. *Drums Roll*

The opening act..

The most unforgettable..

My heart melted the moment his fingers played the piano..Utterly breathtaking!

Year after year, he will always sing "An Jing" during his piano segment. Towards the last part of the song whereby the lyrics goes "Shi Yin Wei Wo Tai Ai Ni" (It's becos I luv u too much), he will always prompt the audience to sing that line and after a short pause, he will then go on to finish that line again. Yes, each year, he will repeat the same old stunt. Yet, without fail, each time my heart will melt as he complete that line..he's just so mesmerising...

Testament of his talents..Not only can he play the piano, he can play so many other musical instruments!

There was this stranger who was standing behind us when Jielun started to play the guzheng (i hope i got it right, haha). She squealed in excitement and exclaimed, "Omg! He is so talented. He can play so many instruments" In unison, we turned to that ger and nodded our heads profusely, "Yes, you are right!"

More Pics of Jielun..Enjoy.. =)

P.S: Damn freaking full! Had steamboat AGAIN wif my parents this evening. No more buffets till CNY!

P.S.S: Had actually published this entry and abt to go offline but have this last min urge to see if the rest of the gals have blogged abt Jielun Dearest..and to my astonishment, HJ actually did!!! Hahaha. Quote from her blog: I am so diligent. I am online to post the pix of Jay Chou coz Sorina was very rude; said I will take ages to post the pix. Oki lah, this time u win, u sud k! Hahaha. Anw, our dear Miss HJ is also a very interesting blogger. Chk out her entries on Jielun as well. http://juanzzz.blogspot.com/

As per my dear fren, the concert is pretty good! Gosh, im sooooooooooooo looking forward to it now!

N guess wat im doing now? Listening to his songs while multi-tasking between blogging n most importantly, trying to memorise the lyrics of his songs! LOL. I was telling P.O.U.S (Pile of Useless Shit, dat's u! keke =p) abt the importance of knowing the lyrics so that u can sing along as u wave the lightlights. He tot its total crap. Haha. Pls lor, oni lidat then u can immerse urself totally into the mood and atmosphere, of cos, it will be best if i can immerse myself into his arms.. *starts to nightdream*

Alrity..Jielun aside..let mi update u peepz on wat I have been up to lately, which explains my absence from this lovely cyperspace of mine. Keke.

I have been soooo freaking bzi ever since the start of the year!  Not in the constructive ways though. Haha. Been bzi boosting the economy with shopping, kopi-ing n eating.

My dear fren jitao lectured me the other day, protesting that we din even manage to clock a decent  5mins conversation since 2008. Haha, i guessed ur complaint has since been resolved aft that kopi session yest rite? I IMMED rushed out after u jio mi hor? Aint that so bloody sweet of mi? Lol

Well, I have also been actively regulating our dear neighbour's economy lately. At the same time, im also trying hard to blend into their culture, learnng more abt their people so that if 10yrs from now, n i m still bloody left on the shelf, i can jolly well find myself a farmer there n migrate over. Migration across the customs. So coolz rite? Haha.

Ok lah, cut the bullshit..I was at Msia for the past 2 wkends. Last wkend, stayed over at GE's place in JB whereas the wkend b4 that, I went to Genting. For the former trip, I must say mi n SL are really appreciative of GE's hospitality. N thats despite the fact that I slept on the flr wifout a pillow, whilst sharing (snatching) the one n oni blankie wif SL for the whole nite! Haha. I ended up with a sore neck n backache aft dat. Having said that, it is still undisputable that GE n Ah Hui are really wonderful hosts, driving us ard to enjoy the diff types of food that most Singaporeans are unaware of everytime when we go to JB. U noe lah, SIngaporeans oni noe Da Ma Hua Yuan and more Da Ma Hua Yuan. Haha.

N gosh, Im fast becoming a fat arse soon..Be it the JB trip or Genting trip, i ate so much!!!!!!!! Gorge and gorge on watever food that i can lay my hands on! Goodness! Wkdays are not spared either. Steamboat, buffet, ala-carte, etc n the list goes on n on..Pengz! Im now officially able to donate blood liao. Couldn't do so in the past due to being underweight BUT i m able to contribute to this worthy and gd cause now!!!!! Tmd, i must really do some serious control measures and i mean weight control here. Glutton Na! STOP EATING LIKE THERE'S NO TOMORROW!!!!!!!

By the way, my latest love, Yang Zhong Wei's album is finally out on sales! For the sake of true love, I have decided against pirarcy, I wana get the original album! But eh, admittedly..its abit of heartache lah..cos u noe, Yours Truly is the renowned pirate queen mah. Keke. Then again, love is suppose to conquer all hor? Darn! Im in such a dilemma..buy or dl?? Ahem, provided some kind n sweet soul out there is willing to get for mi lah. *staring n glaring hard at YOU* =p

P.S: Stop complaining that the name Yang ZhongWei is getting on ur nerves. The incessant nagging will kip ringing in your ears until u develop nightmares unless u do SUMTINK abt it..Wahahahaha

Shall start from the most recent..

Silver Shell Cafe / Cafe Cartel (29/12/07)

Hehe, managed to "fleece" a meal outta of WC. But he will agree it's for a worthy and gd cause rite, don't u? =p Oki lah, if all goes well in March, i promise i will rtn ur treat k? Keke

Silver Shell Cafe at Rasa Sentosa..

The exterior of the place..

The interior of the place, with the buffet stations..

Our dinner!

Due to Yours Truly's poor photography skills, the pics provide a rather unflattering impression of the food. However, I will say the food was quite alrite. Not extremely awesome, but certainly above average. N i loved the seafood soup! Yummylicious! WC had the lobster bisque with brandy but that's not to my liking. In my view, alcohol should always be consumed as a beverage, not as food. N ideally, it should be gulped down, tons and tons of it. Haha.

In terms of seafood, unfortunately, they serve mainly oysters, crabs, scallops and some other shell food which is totally unknown in my dictonary of edible food. U see, Princess Na is a very fussy person and there are many kinda food, esp shell food n raw food which she dun take.

Nevertheless, like wat i mentioned earlier, overall the food is still above average. Coupled with the ambience, Silver Shell Cafe is still pretty value for $, hence, definately worth a try! =)

My boss for the day. Haha. Thx cute for the treat! I appreciate it, really okie? =)

Camwhoring wif and without flash.. The top one is wifout flash, whereas the one below is taken with flash. I prefer the former, cos it sort of "illuminate" me. Lol.

After dinner, we drove ard Sentosa n i came across this tourist attraction..

Carlsberg Sky Tower?? Haha, when on earth did Sentosa have this newly added attraction? Despite visiting Sentosa several times this year, i never knew of its exsistence! Apparently, WC told me this tower has been around for quite awhile. Izizt? The oni Carlsberg thingy that im aware of is this..

Carlsberg at Cafe Del Mar!!! Lol. These pics are actually a collage of wat i posted in my blog last June. Rem my slideshow? Wahaha

Taken near the tower..

After Sentosa, I went to meet the gals for coffee at Cafe Cartel in Siglap. Those bitches gave me a telling-off cos i was late. =p

Mi n Belinda..Poor Bel, each time someone asks her abt me, she gota be evasive. Meaning oni to be understood for the intended reader.

LP n SL..

These 2 gers ah..kip insisting their hands look fat in this pic, face look plump in that pic..etc Made me retook so many times. Sumore I was under strict instructions that I cant take the pics too closely so that their faces will not look big. Den hw? Shd i walk out of the cafe n to the road to take for u all? The further the better rite? hehe.  Nonetheless, i still tink my besties look great rite? (Haha, i must lavish some compliments for service recovery =P)

N so, that was my Saturday..a well-spent Sat wifout booze. WP n the guys did jio-ed me for drinks but sticking firm to my promise to swear off alcohol till 2008, i rejected them! Im so proud of myself. Haha.

Aniway, I actually have more pics to post..the overdue ones. Pics from Janice's n Jinhao's wedding. However, i tink i kenot make it liao, gona visit Grandpa Zhou again. So, that's all for nw.

To be contd..

Unlike typical bloggers who will most likely do a summary of their lives in 2007 while providing a whole long list of resolutions for 2008, i wun be doing that. Well, being Princess NaNa, who is totally in a diff league of her own, how can i conform to the norms rite? Wahahaha. At this juncture, i m visualising how my detractors are sneering at my naricissm AGAIN. =p

To be honest, it's not that I do not want to summarise my previous year. As a matter of fact, there aint much to summarise aniway..One word will sum it all up: SHIT.

Yupz, 2007 has been one of my worst year ever. Be it kinship, friendship, relationship, all of which I flopped misberably, all of which I failed terribly.

There was no achievements to speak of in 2007. I guessed my greatest achievement for the year was accumulating tears enough to flood a river. God knows how many endless times I have cried. Cried over diff issues, cried over diff pple. Exaggerating u may tink..but thats the brutal truth for me. Happy-go-lucky is wat u see on the surface, but beyond that facade lies a vulnerable me. N y not? Im just like everyone else. I have my fair share of unhappiness as well.

Thus, I make it a point to blog conscientiously this year, esp those happy moments. Of cos along the way, this act of mine may have upset some, may have antagonise some. My intention was never to hurt anyone. And trust me, I do not belong to those category of pple who feels that becos this is their blog, they have the sole rights to blog abt watever they want to, without the consideration of the pple mentioned in their blog or the ones reading it. I firmly believed watever we blog, there is indeed such a thing known as "social responsiblity". Admittedly, there were times whereby I may not have been sensitive enough but all I want to do is to retain those happy moments, which seems really sacred during these turbulent times. Is it really too much to ask for? All i want is the ability to give myself the strength to go on when the going gets tough, to tell myself, "Hey look, there are still pple ard u who genuinely cares for u." With these priceless concern, life somewhat seems to brighten up abit.

I guess in life, we gain some, we lose some. Exactly becos 2007 had been such a bad year, it is through this stormy period that u see who are the ones who will stick it through with u, while there may be some who choose to forsake u in times of need. I wouldn't say the latter are right or wrong. We all have our diff beliefs and ways of handling matters. I will oni say its massive disppointment. Just a thorough sense of letdown. Period.

But well, every chapter in our lives is a new lesson learnt, isn't it? In a way, i learnt to be stronger, both mentally and emotionally. I learnt not to take things for granted for many things are simply too transient. Becos I have lost, I learnt to cherish and treasure the remaining. I learnt via the hard way and hopefully, I will not make the same mistakes in 2008.

I was telling Sweets just the other day abt how last year, during this period, I tot I found wat I wanted as i was basking in bliss. However, within a short span of a year, during this same period, i just cant believe what a great mistake I had made. Total folly, complete misjudgement..equating to be a regret of a lifetime. Hence, i was telling Sweets hopefully come same period again this year, my lamenting will not be I had repeated this same old mistake for the 2nd consecutive year. 

Nevertheless, there is a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow and a silver lining in every cloud rite?

One positive thing that did happened for me in 2007 was the start of a new job. 

I was quite skeptical abt a sales job initially. To my utter surprise, the sales world, esp in such a competitive industry such as the finanicial industry, was not as sinister n shady as I had thought.

I have a wonderful boss and my collx are incredible..We could relate to each other in so many aspects and shared many common interests (n vices). Needless to say, the pay is also a huge motivating factor. *grins*

I had a chat wif Ann over the phone arecently nd she asked if Im happy in my new job. My immed answer? "U gota be kidding, anywhere is better than CCU"

Seriously, not oni were we paid peanuts back then, there was never a single day when i felt an equilibrium btw the efforts rendered and the renumeration of the job. Haha, so dats wat i told my ex-boss, abt hw sucky the job was then.

Enough of my ramblings..Wat's past is past. Life goes on, hopefully the year ahead will be better, way much better..

No more tears, no more unhappiness. On the contrary, i wish for joy, contentment and laughter in this forthcoming year..That's all i wish for 2008. =)

Without doubts, my answer will be Women..

The reason is simple: For men, u have to wait for volunteers b4 they are willing and ready to go on the battlefield. On the other hand, women voluntarily and are more than obliging to fight on the battlefield.

Venue of the battlefield? Orchard..

Classic example will be the Isetan Private Sales.

Year after year, sale after sale, despite knowingly that the whole Isetan Scotts will be transformed into a fearful batteleground.. We, the Great Women will still dutifully fufill our obligations to boost the economy and respond to the innate instinct in us: Shopping.

Be it how difficult it is to move from one dept to another, squeezing past the tons n tons of shoppers, figuring hw to get to the shortest possible queue for both fitting rooms and cashiers..We, the Great Women will not bate an eyelid in view of all these pressures and obstacles. For we know we have a mission to complete, even though it may be mission impossible.

With the aid of our most fearsome weapon, we mercilessly utilised them to the max, not allowing any potential target to slip past our sight. N this dear prized weapon of ours, which never fails to be our most trusted aide in those times of turmoil has a wonderful name, by the name of : Credit Card.

I, myself, was one such valiant warrior tdy..battling it out with many comrades relentlessly since noon to nighfall, conquering from Isetan Wisma to Isetan Scotts.

So tell me, aren't Women really great? Simply amazing rite?

Also, this yr, being the last Xmas that Junhao, Irene, YF n most prob YZ are gg to be in the Most Eligible Singles club, it bears more significance than ever. Thus, it was madness yest. Esp YM n YZ..they almost forgot that every drop of liqour is actually chargeable as they poured practically oni neat into our glasses and the latter's mind was prob overly consumed with booze as he decided to mix beer wif Martell. Bad, bad concoction. Needless to say, YZ was one of the 1st to bid goodbye to sobriety. Haha.

Nevertheless, despite the fun, the emo side of mi acts up badly again last nite..

Sweets tot i was angry at him. But nope, i was not. Hw could i bear to aniway? This is the guy who have been standing by me while i went through a full year of shit.

I guess its not easy to express in words of the emotions that i have been undergoing..not to my dearest grp of chums yest, lest here in my blog. The emotional baggage is just way too heavy..

N thus, i left discreetly at 2+ for I know the guys will not allow me to leave mid-way through the party. I do not want to spoil their fun but i was too distraught n upset to stay on.

I boarded a cab to meet him n i was in tears throughout the whole ride.

However, this shall be the last time that I will allow myself to be upset over this issue again.

Afterall, its not as if u care aniway, do u? I doubt so. As such, why should I?

Yest was another nite of boozing, held in conjunction wif our newest Centre babe's bday. Boy, i realli like dat ger..so adorable. Spout so much nonsense when she is drunk. Apart from that, Jo also comes across to me as a sincere and innocent person. Well, perhaps dats that's largely attruibuted to the fact that she is a fresh grad..not polluted n corrupted by the mercenary REAL working world yet. =p

But i must say, yest's session was value for money. Most of us were pretty high at the end of the nite! Haha. Initially, i (really) wanted to 'xiao drink" oni. Cos there are gona be another 2 rounds of boozing session this week! X'mas eve n Boxing Day. *fainted*

Im very much certain i will be fucking wasted tmw..As usual, those bastard kampung frens of mine will not let the nite slip away wif anyone being sober. Moreover, mi n WP made a stupid pact. We are gg to play Siamese Twins tmw. Watever I drink, he drinks. N of cos, vice versa. Also, no matter who jio any of us, the other person will down the equal amt of booze. Siao liao lah....

As for Boxing Day, it's my team's off day and we will be gg to Wine Bar at nite for Michelle's farewell, as well as for Jo's actual bdae. Darn. Not Wine Bar again. Im still suffering from Wine Bar phobia since my bdae. Haha.

Hence, aft reading the above, dun u agree wif me that i shd REALLY swear off alcohol from 2008? lol

Anw, enough said abt booze n more booze..

Next, im gg to proudly present the random pics i took from my new toy..my new Hp! Wahaha. Yah, i noe the camera of that fone is oni 2megapixels, its absolutely nothing if u wana compare to some fones which boast of a 5 megapixels camera. But i bo chup! I still wana show off leh!!! Hehe. Dats y im a narcissist rite? =p

Lunch @ Wheelock's NYDC wif YL

YL has the honor of being the 1st person, other than myself of cos, to be photographed by Princess Na's new toy. haha

Fussy Princess Na wif her usual n ONI order from NYDC..Destiny's Child..All time fav =)

N aft lunch, we were shopping ard Orchard when we saw this..

M&M cottage house outside isetan Scotts! So cute rite??

Thus, i shamelessly took a fotograph as well..

Machiam tourist rite? hahaha

Oki, last shot for the nite..

Mi n Amy at Butterfact..

Haiz, this is the oni pic im posting on my blog as the rest of the pics are not v clear..no thxs to my lousy camera function of my new toy. But nevertheless, i still like my new toy lotsa!

Let's start wif tdy...

Brought Mommy n Papa to one of my client's restaurant. Emperor's Soup located at Joo Chiat Place. When i went there to meet my client during my initial visit, i was impressed by the celebrities who tried the chef's culinary skills before. Haha, u will nv guess which big names im toking abt here. On mind u, they are reali BIG names okie?

From Singapore, there is SM Goh. From HK, there are Eric Tsang and Jackie Chan. N from China, lagi sud sia..Hu Jingtao wor! Apparently, the chef have won numerous awards in the region but becos the family migrated to Singapore, dats y they set up a restaurant here.

Since then, i had wanted to bring my parents there to try the food. N tdy im finally free to spend some family time wif em.

The chef indeed lives up to his name! The Buddha Jumps Over The Wall is Ohh So Delicious..Yummyyummy!

Mommy n Papa enjoyed their dinner too and so, that's happy issue No 1.

Subsquently, we proceeded to Parkway cos i wana get a new hp! Yuppie!!

During the past few weeks, i had been scouting for a new hp but to no avail. The ones which my frens suggested, i dun like. Or else, those i like, jitao my frens condemmned them.

There was this Sony Ericsson bronze color HP which i wanted to get initially, cant rem the model offhand. But the feedback i got from my frens were horrendous. Some described it as orbit, squarish and the worst criticism was it looked like a coffin!!! My frens are all so rude rite??!!!

That was my most potential "target" and i was completely lost on wat to get since i gave up the idea of getting that particular model. Until i saw Jo's new hp! Nokia 6500C! Its so damn slim n sleek! Fell in love wif it instantly!

Hers is the black color but i decided to go for the bronze one though. This is it!

Nice rite? kekeke.

Furthermore, it's such a worthwhile bargain. Becos I upgraded my plan, hence, I got a rebate of $100. Then I redeemed my points and i got yet a futher $25 rebate. In all, i ended up paying $73 for the phone oni! *glees in delight*

What's more, the purchase of the fone comes with a free Bree trolley bag! Sibei "wu hua" hor? haha

Hmm..can use this bag for my Darwin trip..

Yupz, im gg to Darwin next March!!! Hurray!!

Again, I got a gd deal. Due to Tigerairways promo, i got the tixs at $334 after taxes! Isn't that a wonderful bargain?!

Honestly, I m nv keen in Australia. I still rem hw reluctant i was when i had to go to Aust for an exchange program some years ago. Thus, when the trip was cancelled due to SARS, i was secretly rejoicing, despite it meant some of the payments i had made was being forfeited.

But this time round, upon seeing the promo, i noe i must get it! Cos it's just so dirt cheap!!!!

Most importantly, i m dying to travel. Yes, literally dying.

Not to sound arrogrant, but i made a resolution to myself since I was 19 years old that i must at least go on a getaway n a trip per year. By getaway, i mean places like beach resorts, genting, u noe lah..basically its nearby places. N by overseas trips, of cos it will mean those whereby u need to travel by plane lah.

N I m proud to say, i have achieved that till date. Again, im not trying to boast or show off here. The reason why Im so proud of myself is becos i did that entirely based on my own efforts. Apart from the Taiwan family trip afew yrs ago, i paid for ALL my travels MYSELF. Hence, im really proud that im totally financially independant. Eh, at most im oni slightly dependant on bfs lah, oni a teeny weeny bit lah..for the Korea n Bkk trip wif Seng. Haha. Other than that, my parents do not contribute a cent at all for my other trips.

This yr though, sad to say, i oni manage to go for a couple of short getaways. Couldn't go for any overseas trip due to my new job. 1st of all, being new in the job, i dun tink it's gd to take a long leave. Secondly, there's way too much considerations shd i proceed wif my usual yearly trip. Being on a yearly target wif quart payout, the trip will SEVERELY affect my payout. N this quart is the best time for mi to hit my target since it's being pro-rated beocs im a newbie. For the sake of $, i decided to stay put in Singapore.

Nonetheless, it's getting really depressing n stifling for mi. Too much unhappy things had happened this yr and i desperately need a getaway..as quick as possible. Therefore, the moment i saw this promo, i badly wanted to go.

However, it was not easy to get frens to go with mi as the promo was oni for 3 days. By the time i learnt of it, it was alrdy the 2nd day.

Joe was agreeable but our usual khaki, Principal Seow couldn't make it becos of his "potential greener pastures". YL was keen on a trip but her boss was on leave so she cant confirm on her leave. As for the rest whom i asked, i got counter-offered instead. Genting, Guangzhou, Vietnam etc..all of whcih i was not so keen cos as compared, the Darwin promo was so much more of a bargain.

Just when i tot all hope was lost, i found Vil. My darling Vil!!!!!! Haha. She was supposed to go Bintan wif Vana but decided to amend the trip to Darwin instead to grant my wish! Thxs so muchie, sweetie! N so, Vil, Vana n myself will be gg to Darwin in Mar. Sooooooooo looking forward to the trip! =)
