There's something that disgusts me of late and I've been seeing it on the newspaper pretty often. Teachers + student issues. Don't get me wrong here, I have friends who are teachers (government & private) and I'm not hating them neither my teachers from school. I even have a teacher whom I respect alot, who's married to his ex-student! Hey, at least he drew that line, and things only happen YEARS after she graduated. BUT, I'm disgusted to see how teachers these days do stuff that are beyond what words can explain! They are suppose to be a 'living example'. Who we are today are really 50% what our teachers mould us into! What they say or do are impactful in our lives! I can't believe how some can really just take up the career just so they can con some young girls out there! Sigh. Sometimes I wonder, HOW many out there will still be a teacher if there's a major pay cut across singapore for ALL Teaching Staffs. Where's the passion?

Anyway, don't really wish to talk about that anymore.

On the lighter note, 13th November saw the birth of Ariel Noe Lambert, son of Rubes & Pierre's. Oh boy is he a sweetie pie! Can't get enough of him each time I see him! Technically, 3 times and he's 10 days old now!

There's actually alot of things I wanted to blog about! But somehow. . . . I don't remember what it is. LOL

Will post some pictures!

I'm still pretty much jobless! But I'm currently free-lancing for Justin. That's if he has PA jobs for me. And on the other hand, I'm really focusing on baking well. I had a talk with Justin lately in regards to Good vs Great. And I've decided, I can be good at ALOT of things and still keep it that way, but I wanna be great at one thing. Being that baking is really close to my heart. I've decided to learn to be great at that. He is willing to give his full support and I'm really happy. Yesterday was his birthday, but we didn't get to celebrate on the day itself due to his work commitments and my case, a tea ceremony to attend to witness Russell Wong and Flora Zeta accepting Matilda as their God-Daughter. Everything went well! And was a good experience for me.

Right now, I'm actually fretting over Rubes's baby shower thingy! hehe! I offered to be in charge of desserts! And I'm really excited!!

I lost my train of thoughts. Just sent 4 resumes. Lol. I need moolah before I can fulfill my baking wish!

Anyhow, PICTURES!


*thanks Danli for the pictures (ripped from fb)

You know, despite being a full time job searcher at home, lol, I didn't seem to have the heart/time to blog! Totally neglected this blog! Nothing eventful in my life just worries, worries and more worries! Lost the mojo totally.

Anyhow, I just realised, it's October! Meaning to say, my blog has already reached its 6th year! Amazing. Looking back at past entries never fail to amuse me. How much I've grown.

In about a month time, I'll won't be staying in Westwood Cres anymore. We've sold this semidetached and 'upgraded' to a better location, albeit it's going to be ALOT smaller. Definitely going to miss having my own bathroom and space! BUT, I'm more than willing to sacrifice space for location! Our new place will be a 5room flat @ Strathmore Avenue. Eh, I would only need a MAXIMUM of 15 minutes to get to town/holland v!

Next time, friends who wants to meet at Holland Village. I would say: "Eh, give me a call when you guys leave your house so I can go bathe and prepare!" HAHAHAHA! Given the same scenario today, they're probably still asleep when I'm up preparing to get out!!! LOL!

You know, sometimes, it's just amazing to know that you still do have friends around you that care! You know who you are. Thanks for standing by me and checking me out occasionally!

Recently, was introduced to JX's girlfriend! Sharmaine, she's really nice and outgoing! Lol. She looks 90% like Huang Xiao Rou (some Taiwan star). Introduced her to DS, and the next thing, she bought the latest DSiWare! $#%**&$#%!*(*$^@#$

OH! Rubes told me that Mike has some free room in Batam and invited the girls along for a 'reunion'! I said yes immediately! Teeheehee! That's provided Baby can pay for my ferry ride there! Heh! Can't wait

I've been missing gym now for close to 2 weeks and will be back in action next Tuesday. I fell really ill last week and have yet to fully recover till now. So these 2 weeks, I've been cooking alot! Aced my steam egg! My 2nd attempt at Chinese Pumpkin Kueh which Dad likes. Baked Banana Cake. Fried Wanton. Attempted meatballs! All so yummy! Spent a day at Jass's yesterday, cooked for them too! I'm glad they loved my steam egg!

It's Baby's birthday month! Me being broke, I think my present to him will be that he'll be king for the month? Hmmmm. LOL

Alright, getting wordy. Shall end with pictures.

Time passes too fast for me to catch up. Gah! The only thing catching up fast now is probably age. Anyway, I've been jobless.

And due to the fact I'm jobless, I've decided to minimise spending and one was to cancel my membership with Amore Spa. I'm still with their fitness side though. So, with that $100 deposit, I was told I cannot 'withdraw' it back. The only way was one more facial session/massage. I settled for the facial. I have to say, for those who don't mind splurging, Amore Spa isn't that bad! I would give it a 4.5/5 actually! The 0.5 probably because it's pretty expensive! The facial I did was 90mins long. The moment I was there, I made it clear to the 'manager' that DO NOT try and sale me your products/services, the reason I'm here is I can't afford anymore. She understood my point and I'm glad she did what was told. Anyway, I was there promptly on time. Was guided to a 'Oxygen Room' to relax and wait for my facial time. Was served tea and they washed/soaked my feet in awesome lemon grass scented water! Minutes later (you can't stay too long in a oxygen room), I was guided to my 'room'. Greeted with a warm lighted, nicely scented room, a dress to change into and a cosy bed that come with a warmer! Therapist was professional. The full package, cleanse, mask, steam, cleanse, extract, massage, mask, rest, cleanse, eyebrows, moisturise, eye serum. Honestly, for $100, to feel relaxed, cleaned, feels really good! I felt rejuvenated, and the massage was fantastic that it put me to sleep!

I mentioned, I still hold on to my Amore Fitness membership, and have been fully utilising it. Been heading to gym to burn time and build my stamina + health! I've been feeling great ever since! No more short breath-ness!

Actually, there's really alot that I'd like to mention here, and really, 10 years later, when I read back the blog entries, it'll bring me back to the past! But I'm always too lazy to update. I'm not as hyped as I used to be in blogging anymore. But I will not neglect this humble virtual abode of mine.

Recently, I've been rather down. I've been thinking alot like 'why am I here', 'whats next for me?' and all the related. I guess, when you're jobless, you tend to think alot! And I mean ALOT.

Many meltdowns between J & I. And I'm glad it happened. Else, I wouldn't have poured out what I've felt, and vice versa. I would say the 2 showdowns did bring us yet another level higher and I can't help but love him more each day! He's been very supportive. Very encouraging and patient. Very different from day 1.

September is here, and soon, it'll be our 2nd year together. It's amazing how long we can last. We have our dreams and goals set together. And I guess we're working towards it.

I've learnt something recently from a book and it touches about mindset and money blueprint. And on how you can be financially free. The root to all evil is a saying, has it been really evil to you? It brought a point to me and now I'm trying to change my mindset. I'm trying to change the invisible to see the visible next time.

I'm learning to think like a millionaire. Not to have a million networth. Money is not always dollars and cents. If you think it is, you're shallow!

Next month is October. I'm screwed. Too many birthdays in that month. Including the bf. Lol.

Alright, as promised, I'll upload some of my favourite pictures. It's all scrambled up!
