2nd day of new year. It has been a pretty quiet new year this year. Only visited 2 places on the first day. And on the 2nd day, they all came over to my place.

Got so bored I really had to get out of my house. Got out for coffee session and movie later. "Brides War" is great. Got really sad in the middle and really touching in the end.

Dinner at Hogs Breath again. And the strangest ketchup explosion.

Lunar New Year eve. Started like a normal Sunday. Gotta head out soon to meet C... Yeah I know I forgot to return her things... And forgot all about the cookies... BUT! it's not intentional ok? haha. Anyway, I want to buy a bag. Initially a sling bag. I think now, a clutch would be sufficient.

Went to AMK hub yesterday to watch "The Wedding Game". Was slightly late for the show. Overall the show was ok. But I still wanna watch Bride Wars!!

~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~

Went to Vivocity to pass C her stuff. Had wanted Dim Sum. But too bad the restaurant did not serve them coz they were focusing on the reunion crowd. Ate at Hogs Breath instead.

I know. I love my food and good company.

"I've decided. 2009 is not a good year."

Trust me when I say all things are crumbling. The economy crisis, the heavy and even more heavy loading, the lost of control, the fall of K.

RAT PARENTS AND CHILDREN
Rat parents are dedicated to their children. They encompass their little ones with love and attention and enjoy watching their offspring grow and experience the world. When their children are small they brood a great deal over them. Rats become concerned if their babies don't develop as quickly as other children. They anguish over whether or not they are raising their youngsters correctly. With the mental capacity to pick things up easily, Rats tend to get agitated with people who are not quite as quick-witted as they are. No wonder this trait could lead to conflict between Rat parents and their children should any of their children be late bloomers or harbor learning disabilities. Overall, Rats are indulgent parents who don't like denying their youngsters of things they want, and the children soon learn how to wrap their parents around their little fingers.

THE RAT INFANT AND CHILD
Rat babies love to be loved and cuddled. When they are young, Rat babies tend to depend tremendously on their parents, but later in life they develop natural leadership qualities. During their baby years, Rats mature slowly, but gain momentum as they become toddlers. Eventually, they begin to exhibit active mentalities, so, in the early years, plenty of sleep is necessary. In school, the young Rats are eager to learn. It is then, too, that Rats begin collecting things, and like to fill their bedrooms with pebbles, shells and keepsakes of every kind. Generally, young Rats are smart little people who are artistic and literary students. They are well-rounded and many of them do well in sports, too. Being born in the first sign of the Chinese horoscope motivates these children to be pioneers and gives them a need to be first in line.

RAT PARENT/CHILD KINSHIPS
Some parents click immediately with their children and others find they will never have a close relationship no matter how hard they try to make it happen. Following are the compatibility ratings between Rat parents and their children.

Lovers and partners
Rats are beautiful people with magnetic personalities. The Rat himself can't help but notice the admiration he receives from others. If the Chinese say there are few poor Rats, there are an even fewer number who are not sexually stimulating- especially as young people. Rat people are romantic, and are always happier to have someone to share with.

RAT ENRAPTURE
One of the Rat's greatest assets is his charm. Rats can melt hearts with their smiles. Add that to their coquettish personalities and you can easily see how they conquer the hearts of others. And, since Rats love to go out, they have plenty of chances to meet potential suitors or future partners. An annoying quirk of some Rats is they have a difficult time severing ties with former lovers. Obviously, this can pose potential conflicts for the Rat and his new lover and can even endanger his ability to develop new relationships. When the Rat finally settles down with Mr. or Ms. Right, he will find a sincere satisfaction in the intimacy of the partnership.

A RAT'S PARTNER
Although Rats like to be in the driver's seat, they do need partners who can keep up with their active lifestyles. Chinese horoscopes are very specific about which partnerships have the potential to be successful in love and in business. Yet, though destiny can point us in the right direction, we must still make efforts to maintain loving relationships. Following is a brief description of how a Rat will affect a relationship with other Animal signs.

Slept at 3+ in the morning. Thinking about my life. Maybe another time.

I woke at about 10+ in the morning. Had breakfast and settled down at 11 before starting Operation: Pineapple Tarts. Spent the whole day from 11am to 8pm making them... 9 hours and the result is approximately 15 big containers full of goodies...


Took some time off in between folding and ironing clothes... Simply tired... But at least it keeps my mind of some things...

Met up with best friend yesterday. It has been a little more than 2 weeks since I last met her. And I missed spending time with her.

Lunch at Suntec. Was late (very sorry! but I "blanja-ed"...) because was helping mom with her pineapple filling shaping. Had yummy set meals at Ichiban Boshi. And then, it's shopping time!! Walked and walked through the shops of Suntec and Marina Square... After 4 hours of shopping, I've finally found all the clothings I can wear for CNY.

Fell in love with this dress at Mango... Nice prints, flowy and fits nicely... $115... Best friend practically have to drag me out of the shop so that I don't get it... But it's really nice... Haiz... Guess the $115 can be better spent on a nice bag...

After shopping, it was dinner at CoffeeClub at Marina Square... The food wasn't that great... But the coffee there is alright... I realized that I have specific drinks ordered from various places I frequent.

Starbucks - Caramel Latte
TCC - Minty Mocha
Swensens - Mint-in-a-coffee
Coffee Club - Tiramisu Latte

Went home after dinner, it wasn't that early anyway...

I was special before you came. Hate how you make me feel...

Open House Day 2 - 10 Jan. Nothing special. Though I see you, I think you nv do....

Exhausted... Went drinking the night before at Bishan Park... I love Erdinger dark... Not to mention Long Island... Tried tequila sunrise... But it's not that fantastic... Very very mild... The lasagna is great!! Best recommendation. Good company as well.

Unfortunately had to go back to office the next day... I woke up abit late. Managed to get in before 8.30am though. So I was lucky... Spent the day doing planning... But exhaustion really slows down the thinking process and concentration... Not to mention, super many distractions...

Had dinner with D and R... Outback food was great!!

Chicken on the Barbie

Prime Minister's Prime Ribs

Drank more... It helps to relax... Helps to forget... Helps to make me sleep at night... Any thing which helps me not to lie there in bed, thinking, dreaming, fantasizing about you.

Everybody's busy...

My heart pounds so hard everytime... I can't help to be a little unfriendly when u're around... I need some protection... A block of jelly to shield me from daggers of rejection... It's hard... To want to be close but having to stop myself lest it becomes an addiction to me... Why don't you tell me?

Hate it that my ankle hurts... Now I can't wear heels... Glad that PMS is almost over... Hope my fever won't come back...

One more day. One more year. Whether I can get through it, I'm not so sure.

It was good, sneaking peeks through the day. Satisfied me in bite sizes. I'm not sure if it's the lack of food or the non-stop moving around which made me so sad. Feel like in tears the whole day. Almost have no time to breathe. Other days I'll probably embrace it. But not today.

Intimidation. Don't understand how advances get misunderstood. Interests no longer shows itself as it is, I guess. Maybe stalking is better. Just kidding. But please lead me not into temptation. I know my way there too well. Let me know if I have to U-turn.

On my way back home, I made myself the harshest decision: to not be a leech. I know I'm sapping enough. Wrong timing may have cost me huge loss. But let's just see. It's taking a toll on me. But I will push on. Push myself so hard that I see stars and heartbreaks. Feel the ache but ignoring it.

2009 has proved that it is starting to be a huge headache.


1 Jan 2008
Brought old notes and textbooks to C's house. Then went down to Vivo and meet PZ. Yummy hotdog lunch. I love the hotdogs there. Chili cheese bacon dog (Ummmm... Feel so hungry now.) After walking around shopping, we ended up at central for dinner.

"Excuse me miss. You can't take picture of our food here." Oops. Abit too late.

Anyway, nv ever, EVER go to this place. "Central" in Vivo basement/Taka basement. It SUCKS 101%.
