Have to cut down on Chai.. *cries*

This morning before work, I decided to treat myself to my favorite Chai tea latte. Now for those who are unaware, epileptics should stay away from caffeine. Meh. But i really wanted a chai latte!!! 

I had a few sips while waiting for my bus and guess what! I had a minor seizure! Sheesh! Thank God I didn't drop my $6.80 chai! And after that, I felt really sick, and didn't want to take the risk of drinking anymore. 

Decided to give the drink to any of my colleagues who would want it. To my amazement... NO ONE LIKED CHAI! How can anyone not like CHAI! They didn't even like the smell of it! Wahh! Dear God, please have chai in Heaven for me k! 

So tmr is The Day. My sleep apnea test. I hope my room is cosy and nice.

He's here....

THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA!!!!

Went with mum to catch this awesome musical yst at Marina Bay Sands.

It was so good. Standing ovation. I wish I could buy another ticket to watch it again. We were blessed to have 20% discount for the good seats, so we were seated near the stage.


Isn't the stage beautiful??

I wish I could sing like Claire Lyon. She has such an amazing voice, and she gave me goosebumps when she hit that last high note, singing "Phantom Of The Opera".

Really hope that the sequel, "Love Never Dies", comes to Singapore one day.

Movie review part 2 and falling down in the toilet. (Meh)

Okie, so I didn't like the 2nd movie, I will be lazy again and not search for pics. I watched Pacific Rim in 3D. Now, if I had known it'll be in 3D, I'll give it a miss. Epileptics like me are sensitive to flashing lights. But I only realized when I arrived at the cinema.

Thank God I made it through the movie and home in one piece.

The movie was action packed, but with a really predictable plot. Not the kind that I'll pay money to go watch, and not the kind I'll watch again for free. In fact, I only enjoyed the parts with the cute dog and the part where the lead actor got whacked by the cute japanese girl.

I was in the shower just now when I had a minor seizure again, but this time I slipped and fell to the ground. Not very serious but I have a bruised knee now. Sigh, I guess it's not my day today, but I should be thankful that it wasn't a serious issue. And I should be even more thankful that my seizures this month is lesser than last month. :)

Movie review part 1!

I am very blessed to work in a company that gives out free movie tickets. Of course, each department is given out a few pairs only, and we have to ballot for it. On Tues, my colleague won the tickets to watch The Rooftop, by Jay Chou.

Look at the attractive poster!



Jay Chou is so talented. I'm pretty sure he composed and penned the lyrics for most of the songs, or maybe all the songs. This movie is set like a musical, and although it's quite a typical story line (celebrity meets normal guy, falls in love with each other, throw in some bad people here and there), I would pay to go watch it again. I love musicals, and even though the ending was pretty much predictable (I won't ruin the show for people who actually read this entry and want to catch the show), it was a great show.

This is Jay and newcomer Li Xin Ai, who plays his love interest. I think she resembles Fan Bing Bing!


Hahaha, one of the songs in the show, it was so cute and catchy, and I really have to repeat myself. Jay Chou is so freaking talented!


His make believe home, The Rooftop. How pretty! I would love to stay here!


On Wed I watched another free movie again. Shall blog about it tomorrow, because I am busy playing Age Of Wushu. Haha. And there will be another Mr M entry too soon. :P

A visit to the dentist

These few days whenever I brush my teeth, I realise that there's blood on my toothbrush and when I rinsed too. At first it was just a little, so I thought nothing of it, until last night when I got a scare! There was more blood than usual and my mom decided to accompany me to the dentist this morning.

My dad always says he fears the dentist more than he fears the devil. Hahaaha. I detest trips to the dentist too. Anyway, it didn't turn out to be anything serious YET. All I needed was a clean up and tips on how to have better dental care.

The clean up was rather annoying. It wasn't super painful, but my tolerance for pain has always been low, so I was trying hard not to struggle in my seat, while the dentist and his assistant cleaned my teeth for me. And now I have a huge red bottle of gurgle have I have to use twice a day.

What was most annoying was that I heard 3 people, including me, was on MC today and the boss wasn't pleased. Like hello, do you think we take MC on purpose? Especially when you come up with some stupid point system and minus 200 points whenever someone takes an MC? They say it's to make sure no one plays with the MC. But what if someone was genuinely unwell. Then I think this deduction of points won't be fair. And furthermore, if he was such a fantastic boss, who would go around playing with MC to begin with.

When I worked in the airport, I had such a good boss, that my MC rate was so low. I hardly took leave as well, until they had to make me go on leave.

Now my current boss only knows how to be a pen pusher. Nothing we do pleases him. Whatever. I'm gonna enjoy the rest of my day.

Shopping day!!

My colleague and I have been craving for Astons since months ago, so we decided to have a girls day out and satisfy our craving at The Cathay. She ordered the hickory bbq chicken and I decided on the teriyaki.

 

I'm not sure if it's because of the crowd or is it this branch's standard has dropped. We wanted pasta salad and mac & cheese for our sides, but to our disappointment, we were told that they were out of stock. And it's not like we went at a later hour. Astons opens at 1130am and we were already there at around 130pm. We also had to wait 30 mins for our food to arrive. And that was only after I went up to the manager to ask him how come our food was taking so long to arrive. Not only that, our chickens were a bit burnt. Quite upsetting. So we left feeling full but not satisfied. :(

Went to Plaza Singapura to do some retail therapy next, since our senior manager pissed us off on Friday, saying we both + another colleague had broken our dept's records by not having any outbound sales for 3 months. Hey, if he thinks it's so easy, why doesn't he come down to our office to try it out? Don't be a pen pusher. I can go on and on about what a jerk he is, but I'll save that for another post.

Look at my loot!!!! As usual, Trinity my baby girl is being a busy body, hehe! That's it, after today, I'm gonna survive on bread and butter till my next pay is in.



Lolly Talk!!! This shop has so many unique flavors of candy that I had such a hard time choosing! The owner  is so chatty and friendly too! You can like their page here! Their Ice Cream Soda was just freshly made when we arrived, and he did not hesitate to give us a sample to try. It was so good! I finally decided to get Chili Lime, Ice Cream Soda, Rose Lime, and Jesus Loves Me, which is a mixture of watermelon and grape. Sounds so darn good. They also gave us a free packet, called Good Luck Mix. I have no idea what to do with all these candy now, lol!!!

 

 

 

We found a shop that sold candy for really cheap prices. I SAW REESE!!!! That is my ultimate favorite chocolate!!!! Ok, I have a lot of ultimate favorites. But REESE!!!!



Also saw jellybeans. Yes. I love candy. I love anything that's gotta do with sweet. I should work/live in Wonka's chocolate factory, if that place even existed.

Hello Kitty jelly beans! How adorable! Actually, this is a really smart marketing gimmick. It's not like the jelly beans have Hello Kitty's face on it. They are just 6 different flavors inside. But all it takes for this to fly off the shelves is for them to print Hello Kitty on it. :P Anyway, this one isn't for me. It's for one of my favorite DJs when I see her on Monday. She loves Hello Kitty. :)

 

A standard assorted pack for her co host, M. Ya, the very M that I went for a dinner date with. Can't buy for her and not get him anything ya?


I swear this I've never seen before in my entire life. Sakura flavor jellybeans! How to resist! It was sitting there, silently screaming at me to "Please BUY me!"


And these! Concealer and Dry Shampoo Spray from Etude House. I have the worst dark circles and eye bags, and since both my colleagues rave about this brand, I decided to try it out. And with the horrible hot weather in Singapore, making my hair oily all the time, I need to bring dry shampoo out, esp when I work at Celebrity Land, where you never know when you'll bump into some star and you don't want to look like crap taking pictures with them. 


I actually bought more stuff, hahaa. 3 hairbands for my god daughter, Faith, and a dress from Dorothy Perkins. Will take pictures of them tomorrow since I'm too lazy now.
