425: CNY steamboat at Orlina's! :)

Was at Orlina's place last night for steamboat! It was a small affair which included, Huiling, Jia Xian, Orlina, Grace, You Se, Clayton, Annabel, Chen Cong, Elaine, and me. It was fun, with loads of laughter and good food. Towards the end, they brought out a birthday cake for me! My birthday's tomorrow by the way. Hahaha. Had fun. And Clayton thoughtfully gave me and Huiling a little voodoo doll as a little birthday gift. :)

Photos!

424: Happy Chinese New Year Eve!

The BF is over at my place now. He has to work tomorrow morning so he's over to stay for the night. My ma invited him over to have reunion dinner with us, because she has already declared the BF as her "half-son". Teehee. I'm glad that everything is going on well with the BF and my family. :)

423: Update

Forgot to blog about something reeeally exciting yesterday. Omg I can't believe I forgot about that, that was the climax of the day.

Okay, so the most exciting event of the day was..... The BF and I went to POSB and opened a joint account! I know, we've been talking about it for a couple of months, but we finally did it. It made us feel like husband and wife! We feel married now. :)


OH MY GAWWWD! I'M SO EXCITED NOW I FEEL LIKE JUMPING OUT OF MY CHAIR AND RUN AROUND IN CIRCLES!!!!!

Calm down. Calm down.

On a more futuristic and realistic note, we'd sort of came to an agreement that we are going to get married next year.

OH MY GAWWWWD!!!! NOW I'M OUT OF MY CHAIR AND RUNNING AROUND IN CIRCLES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Calm down. Calm down.

Okay. Enough about that. Today I received my full timer name tag. I kept showing it off to everybody. But they only gave me the "Okay, that's enough" look. I've been wearing the old one for a year and a half now, I think I've got the most rotten-looking name tag of all the staff in the zoo.


Doesn't it look neat?

And while I'm showing off my brand new name tag, my ma is showing off the pot of 8 chrysanthemums that she got at the market for only $5.

422: MY OMNIA! (:

I got my Omnia yesterday! Whee hee!!!!! Although it's only the 8GB version (who needs the 16BG anyway, it's a waste of money and storage), I'm loving it cos it's blacccck. Because I wanted the Samsung Pixon in the first place (cos it's blaccck, and a black touch screen phone is way too coool), I realised that the price of the Pixon and Omnia 8GB are the same, so might as well get the Omnia, which is a SMARTPHONE and have so many many many functions than the Pixon. I did a lot of research before buying it, so I knew that it's truly the one that I want. Pixon is only a JAVA phone with an 8-megapixel camera, whereas the Omnia is a smartphone, and not to mention the 8GB internal memory.

Freebies-wise. The promotion included a free 1GB memory card (but who needs one, when I already have an 8GB internal memory?), and there was this CNY promotion lucky draw thing. I'm using the BF's handphone contract to buy this phone, because my N73 is giving up on me, or will give up on me soon, and I didn't want to hurriedly get a phone when it finally gives up on me, and since the BF's contract ended months ago, he let me use his contract to buy a phone, and I'll let him use mine when mine ends in September.

Anyway, about the lucky draw thing, the guy held a lucky draw box in front of the BF, so he put his hand in but didn't swirl and mix around the contents to choose one, he just put his hand in and pick up the one right at the top. He opened the card and guess what? He won a pair of Sennheiser earphones! The sales guy was a bit surprised, he said, "Wow, that's a good price." And I just giggled myself silly.

Unsurprisingly, I had a lot of difficulty using the Omnia at first. But it's a smartphone, it runs on Windows Mobile, it's very different from normal Java handphones. But I'm starting to get the hang of it. Overall, the Samsung Omnia is a great phone!

I just realised that I'm a gadget geek.

421: I was laughing hysterically when I was watching this :)

420: How I'm going to spend my off day

Today is Ethan Boy's birthday party but I'll be skipping it. My sis and ma are going, though. Am going to meet the BF later. Going to go buy Tong's birthday present later. Am quite excited about passing it to her tomorrow! :)

I'm turning 20. The BF's turning 32. How time flies.

419: The usual

Work was the usual boring shit. School holidays are over so there are generally less visitors to the zoo. Less tourists too, with the ongoing economic downturn.

Work didn't really seem like work today. Slacked around with Najib today.

Ahaha.

Ethan's birthday party is on Saturday! My favourite boy in the world is turning 2!

Wondering what he's doing now... :)

I think I'll go paint my toenails a deep shade of red. Again.

418: Update

I know I haven't been blogging. Yes yes yes I know okay shut up nobody cares.

Work is okay, love-life is good, s*x-life is great.

The BF's new job is okay too. He says the job sucks but whose job doesn't suck? His pay is good, though. That means I don't have to worry so much about our future. I'm just a teeny bit envious of his salary. A tiny bit.

As for me, I'm wondering how long can I possibly be able to tolerate working at the zoo. There are good and bad things, of course, once in a while everything is good, good, but then all of a sudden something bad happens and the happiness meter plummets all the way to the bottom, and then it tries excruciatingly hard to crawl its way to the top. Yes I'm trying, trying excruciatingly hard.

I think my fuck-care attitude has brought me kind of far, and I'm proud of it. It's like a "Nothing can beat me, I DON'T CARE!" attitude.

This blog post is excruciatingly painful to write because I can't think of anything to write. And people who type a few words in their blog posts, I think they're only wasting their time.

I'm addicted to quizzes on Facebook. I think I'll go and do another 20 or so.

By the way, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year and an early Happy Chinese New Year to everyone, in case I don't blog again in the next 10 years.
