2 wks back, i organised my veri first spree - Mayuki spree. if u still never heard of Mayuki, its e num 1 taiwan online auction site tt sells ladies apparels. Has been joining sprees since late 2007 but its onli till then tt i had a taste of being a spree organiser =D its a private spree though, its just me n a few good frens cos im not an approved spree organiser at any of e spree community (most of them currently din accept application for spree organisers =()
considering e num of participants we hav quite a big order. 6 of us ordered a total of 30+ items.. girls realli can shop right? lolz but Mayuki clothes are realli nice, more of my style - feminine and/or sweet, and when coupled with sales when prices are realli slashed down (unlike some spore sales), e clothes are just too tempting to resist.. so when i din see any ongoing mayuki sprees for e past 2 wks i decide to hold one cos i realli wanted to get some of e clothes =P
& e clothes arrived last night!!! came in one big box n my mum nearly fainted.. cos it din help tt my sis n her frens also ordered sth from Taiwan n her 2 parcels came earlier than mine n then my box is e biggest among all. even though i explain to her tt onli 1/7 of e clothes inside belongs to me, she's still rather sceptical.. shit la, next time she sure take out this issue n to grumble + complain... anyway e clothes are nice!! however e dress tt i ordered turns out to be beige than e whitish that i thought would be.. so right now e colour sort of blend into my skin tone n i dun look as good as i thought i will be.. so disappointed.. now still comtemplating wat to do with it..
n as if this isnt bad enough, e Mayuki spring clothes tts launched on mon is so super nice.. makes me so super gian even with my all-too-recent purchase from them. their collection, IMO, is e nicest among all e other acution sites. most of them are for casual n i cant wear them to work. on e other hand, like wat i mention earlier, Mayuki collection gives a lady-like feel and e colours are just so nice. at times when im looking at e clothes i just wondered why im not born in Taiwan.. they got so mani pretty stuffs! items tts selling in spore realli pales in comparison lor.. now i got quite a num of items on my wanted list now.. oh no.. to buy or not to buy?? unlimited wants and limited resources.. i think one day i can become an online shopaholic..
last nite i was informed tt one of my fren's father passed away while today i got a wedding invitation from another fren.. how contrasting.. n quite a shock to me, cos i neva heard of the deceased father's condition at all before e passing on. right now dare not ask e fren wat happen cos right now i guess anyone in e shoe will be extremely emotional at this point in time..
first time i reach a place before 8am (except sch) n its alr damn crowded over there.. e queue is snaking not once, but twice round the area.. fainted.. yes, im at e spore flyer trying my luck to get my hands on e free tix. but then all my efforts of waking up at 6.15am which implies tt i onli sleep for like 3 hrs e prev night has all gone in vain.. so ended up going to queue for e bumboat tix.. then while queueing there, one of e auntie who also in e queue was saying tt she reached e flyer at 6am and there's ard 400 ppl there le.. wah seh.. sporeans are realli damn kiasu until when e first bus/mrt barely started their service, they are alr faithfully at e queue.. OMG.. think next week if i want to get e tix i must stay overnight le..
anyway one comment for e STB.. if e objective is to encourage sporeans to go out as a family then also spend to help e economy then can they be more generous n also include more places of attraction? at first i thought its 2009 tix for sat and another 2009 tix for sun. then upon reading e newspaper onli did i realise its 2009 tix for both sat n sun.. *ah the* leh.. n how come the zoo is not among e free place? national musemum and sentosa are realli bad choices to be included in leh.. cos in e 1st place, e admission tix to both places are so cheap..
anyway luckily got e tix for e boat n then end up touring city hall area while waiting for my mum n sis to off work.. so i walked from the flyer to merlion park to esplanade to marina sq to suntec to bugis junction then to national lib.. all within 2.5 hrs.. reason why i can cover these areas so fast is cos i din realli shop ard.. alr know these places too well le cos have been shopping there regularly for e past 2 yrs since they are so near my office.. if u give me orchard road, i'm able to shop for a longer period of time la, but seriously think tt spore lacks unique shopping experience cos e tenants of e shops are rather similar.. its like once u cover 3 shopping centres, u've alr seen approx 70% of e big name shops ava in spore..
walked even more when my mum n sis reach town. went back to esplanade and merlion park n took e boat ride. 1st time taking a ride on spore river n i must say tt e view u get while on water is vastly different from wat u see on land.. there are certain angles tt u can onli view on water, for example, the front face of e merlion. we managed to sit at e open air area of e boat so we can get to enjoy e 'river breeze' n our angle of view is also much wider. quite a good experience =)
then when i was telling my fren abt it, she said she'll rather take e boat ride than to go to the flyer. cos she say e area near spore flyer are all construction sites n hence nothing to see. all e rest of e buildings eg merlion n esplanade are quite far away so its actualli not worth e time n money to go up there. this i hav to agree cos i took e ferris wheel in japan for onli S$10 n e duration is also approx 30min. when u have such deals to compare against, e spore flyer seems to be overcharging..
at e end of e day, my legs were arching.. to think tt im actualli wearing sneakers!! gone were e days when i can stand for 10 hours straight.. haiz.. getting not fit le..
anyway PTC finally announce e extent of e fare reduction but its onli a mere miserable 2 cents. i was half expecting it to be 4 cents to offset e hike of 4 cents last yr leh.. its way too little la.. like wat my mum say, might as well dun cut fares.. make it sound so nice but e actual gesture is like so insincere.. i realli dun feel that e companies are willing to tide over e tough times w e consumers leh.. esp when they are benefitting quite a lot from e rapidly falling oil prices/electrical tariffs.. shd hav learnt never to expect too much from GLC..
& my wish abt going back to Tioman is abt to get granted.. AB going to Tioman this time round!! oh how i miss Tioman!!! who likes to go?? now jioing ppl to go w me.. =D
after finish watching the last episode of "The Gem of Life" which by the way, isn't as good as I will like to watch (but its okay cos its a well known fact its e 2nd last episode that is more interesting/intense), dun feel like wathcing any drama now.. dunno why but i guess long dramas realli sux e energy from u man.. so i find myself turning to play sudoku.
remember e veri 1st time i played it which is sometime last yr, i gave up halfway.. decide to try again but at a simplier level and now i cant seem to get enough of sudoku =P besides e one published on e newspaper, i even turn to net to search for more.. i feel its a good way to train ur brain n enhance ur logical thinking.. heard tt there's pattern to spot too but until now i din spot any.. complete e puzzle by elimination method.. lolz.. & find tt the one publlished on TODAY newspaper is more challenging than e others.. even e easiest one can take me like 30 min to do it..
well, aft having done sudoku puzzle, im actualli thinking of creating sudoku puzzle.. =D kudos to e sudoku inventor leh.. its actualli a simple game which is also v easy to set but yet its still so fun to play.. as e setter, u just need to fill up e num 1-9 in any way u like n then just rub off some num to turn it into a puzzle.. but i guess e difficult part comes about as to which num to erase, esp if u want to create various level of difficulty.. guess i need to wait till i have my hands on in setting such puzzle before commenting again ba.. n meanwhile im contented solving sudoku puzzles.. =P
finalli i heard tt e bus fare is going down!! can be considered once in a lifetime man =P at least now we know that transport operators are not so cold blooded.. but who knows..
n there's one MP that says that 5 day week ought to be revised.. wat the... cos he say now youngster getting slacker.. like hell man.. who now gets to off work right on e dot?? even my civil service frens got history of working till 11+pm lor.. contradicting.. one hand want ppl to get married & procreate but on e other hand want ppl to spend more time @ work... lost of words...
my perception of an ideal holiday is very simple: leave e crowd, close to nature, relax and have fun.. tts why i dun like to stay in spore for a hol, cos its simply too crowded n there's literally no nature to speak of.. guess most sporeans think tt way too, so u cant blame sporeans for liking to go overseas
I asked her to stay But she wouldn't listen She left before I had the chance to say Oh the words that would mend the things that were broken But now it's far too late, she's gone away Every night you cry yourself to sleep thinking "Why does this happen to me? Why does every moment have to be so hard?" Hard to believe that It's not over tonight Just give me one more chance to make it right I may not make it through the night I won't go home without you the taste of her breath, I'll never get over And the noises that she made kept me awake Oh the weight of things that remain unspoken Built up so much it crushed us everyday Every night you cry yourself to sleep thinking "Why does this happen to me? Why does every moment have to be so hard?" Hard to believe that It's not over tonight Just give me one more chance to make it right I may not make it through the night I won't go home without you It's not over tonight Just give me one more chance to make it right I may not make it through the night I won't go home without you Of all the things I felt I've never really showed Perhaps the worst is that I ever let you go Should not ever let you go, oh oh oh It's not over tonight Just give me one more chance to make it right I may not make it through the night I won't go home without you It's not over tonight Just give me one more chance to make it right I may not make it through the night I won't go home without you And I won't go home without you And I won't go home without you And I won't go home without you
