Hubby’s new transport – fino~

irislee — Sat, 31 May 2008 09:06:22 +0000

Hubby bought a new bike for my convenience. He’s worried whenever I fetch him home at night, I’ll have to drive home alone at the lonely ECP. lol. He sold his car and bought this bike to save money also. Though it might be dangerous, it really cut alot of our expenses. Besides, it just look so cute!!

I went shopping recently, bought a zara dress. Wonder what makes me buy this $119 dress.. Its so unlike my style. But well, just for a change. Perhaps its that purple band that attracts my attention.

Went to the restaurant at Liang Court basement 1 recommended by Alexis and Marcus (Our Japan khakis). Its good!! Their black pig shabu shabu ramen is really good!! Charsu ramen is good too!! Except for the gyoza – not nice!! lol.. But worth a try!!

Lastly, an update of my and hubby. I look pale i know..

Went to club last wed, so fun!!! Went with my 2 flings – Elaine and Sha – and some of my colleagus like Erica, Peggy, Zac, and some of Zac’s friends. Very fun indeed. Waiting for the photos. Will post it once i get it. Thats all folks!!

512 Earthquake disaster in China

Have you guys donated a token at least? I did my part, though its an insignificant $18 donation. Sounds ironical yah? From my previous posts, I’ve been mentioning how much i hate chinians, how much horror they’ve given me. And finally, a post from me to encourage you peeps to help them. Lets be objective yah? No hard feelings involve. I sincerely seek help from all of you. Its really disturbing to see them suffering from all this shit while we’re enjoying our lives here in Singapore, blogging about how fantastic Japan is. A little help means a lot for them, really.

Sis and I are even intending to adopt children from Sze Chuan. These helpless little ones deserve parents.. Don’t they?

Feeling upset..

Wedding greetings

irislee — Wed, 21 May 2008 14:49:00 +0000

Many of us treat weddings as ‘red bombs’ (Direct translation from mandarin). I love to attend weddings. Its an event that couples share their happiness with people close to them. Its an event that couples announce their foreverness. Its an event that close friends and relatives feel happy for the couple. In some religion, its also an event that brings luck to one’s family.

When the couple invites you to their wedding, shouldn’t you feel honoured? Why most of us are more concern with the hole in our pockets? Like it or hate it? I like it – If they’re important people in my life.

Why this topic? Triggered by the future husband and wife – Candice and Fabian. I feel so happy for them, though its only ROM. By signing the contract, they’re legally husband and wife. In other words, suitors please back off!! lol. Congratulations to this fabulous couple. Though their actually hubby’s friends, we’re so close that I treat them like my own friends. They’re the few nicest people on earth – Despite of Fab’s bluntness (I just hate it okie!!).

Candice is so creative, look at her invitation card —>

Both of you are legally binded. So.. All the best, and ‘zhao shen gui zi’!! Happy happy!!

Back from Japan, back to reality.

Hey everyone take note!! Ms Lee finally walk out of laziness and found a job. I’m starting work at General Electric Money on Monday 17th Septmber 2007 as a Direct Sales Officer. It can be known as a lender or loanshark. lol. Its a high class loan shark to lend executives with income of > S$1,600 cold hard cash. Its not an easy job as we definitely need to face alot of rejections. We need to actually source for our customers, be it using their leads or our own network. My hubby introduced me this job so yah.. We’re colleagues now. I’m so happy that some of my secondary school mates (i.e. Peiyi and Kenny) are working there too!!

Anyway, enough of my job. I’m about to post my Convocation photos. Enjoy!

Finally hubby sent me all my photos. I don’t have a camera, and I dont have cable for my phone too. Thats the reason for such a late post. I’m lazy to describe most photos. So peeps! Just take time to enjoy photos alright?

I’ll start with photos with headings..

My new hair style

I’m sure friends who are close to me will know I got my hair permed 3 months ago. Friends who are even closer to me should know that I cut it short last month. lol. New hair style gives me new life!! I’m glad my hubby like it. Its bob head!!

Korean restaurant at Fareast level 1

Its so superb!! Had dinner at this korean restaurant today with hubby. Its so… Oh my gawd!! Yummy!!

Batam trip

Went to Batam with Hubby, Fabian, Candice, and Candice parents. I know it sounds wierd but I’m glad its a fun trip!! Candice parents are hot can?! Unlike my parents, they sleep late, goes to lounges, loving, hold hands, etc. Really humorous parents!! Thanx to her parents, we live in a villa. Not exactly well furnished, but its very comfortable. We even have chauffer to bring us around. Feel so rich in Batam!! lol.

Kuo Chuan Presbyterian Secondary School

A trip back to kcp, my secondary school, with Ren, Eileen, Rong, and Moses. Moses’s not from my school, he’s just there to eat ‘chup chai peng’. lol. Its so cheap and delicious can?!! Anyway, they refurnished the whole building and its so nice now!! They even have auditoriums, very big hall, nice foyer, pool table, classroom that are nicely decorated by students, etc. To think that they don’t allow us to decorate our classrooms in the past. Stupid Mario!! My ex principal looks like super mario!! lol.

Serangoon Gardens

Went to some cafe at Serangoon gardens. Can’t recall which cafe is it, but their food and beverages are really good. Went there with Hubby, Fabian and Candice. Candice brought her scabble along to play ‘take 2′. Its our favourite game after Mahjong. lol. So fun! It improves our Vocab and speed to form words!!

NUS mini steamboam

So nice and fresh!! The mini steamboat at NUS. Went with Hubby and Huang ting.

Miscellanous

Can’t remember occasions, no date, no nothing..

Pearly hiding

An unspoken secret

irislee — Sat, 11 Aug 2007 22:16:41 +0000

Just caught the movie ‘Bu neng shuo de mi mi’ by Jay Chou. Haven’t catch the english title for this film so I called it the Unspoken secret. If I were to rate it as a superb film, I’m definitely bias towards Jay Chou. The plot was predictable that I could spell it out to hubby at the initial of the movie. However, it will be injustice if those ignorant people criticise this film as shallow. Be practical people! Its money for godsake so why should he go against it yah? Besides, I think its a really relaxing movie that has an ending at least. For those who ain’t Jay fan, ignore the scriptwriter and just watch the movie. If that doesn’t help, ignore the movie and continue your ignorance.

Went prawning after the movie with hubby, Fabian, and ting. So fun! We decided to go fishing at my house next week, provided we got our ‘gey si’ ready. My house have a lake that leads the the sea, so fishing isn’t any problem at all if you guys think its wierd to fish at home. I can even fish at my sis’s room, lol. Anyway, have been going out with them (i.e. ting, siewyan, Fabian, and candice) recently. Mummy has been screaming since the day I end my last paper. lol. Haven’t got any job yet doing nothing everyday, playing mahjong, spending money, etc. Thats bad!! Ting found her ideal job but not me. Sad. Think I’ll just make do with any job that comes along. I’m too picky at times. (= Wish me all the best!!

Online shopping’s a killer
