It was my 23rd birthday on Sunday. Celebrated with the family a night earlier, on Saturday, after a luxurious massage and spa treat at Wayan. Enjoyed ourselves heartily with the spread of food available at Carousel.






Thank you for the wonderful dinner, Mum, & my family for the great time we had.






It was off to the Esplanade to lap in the beautiful sight before heading home...


The fiance couldn't join us that night so we celebrated my birthday on Sunday. Had him to myself the whole evening... A wondrous time we had.


My 23rd birthday was a memorable one, thanks to my family and the love of my life. And to my friends who wished me Happy Birthday thru sms, frenster msges, thank you...


And a Happy 8 1/2 years Anniversary baby... I love you.

With all the bling bling mailers streaming in, I've this hee-yuge urge to go get myself diamonds. Again. I have really good deals! But I know i shouldn't cos I should be saving & not spending. Somehow my brain doesn't seem to comprehend the idea fully.


Talk of the rise of wages for civil service sector is really hot these days. Pay rise is going to effectively commence only in May although it seems that not everyone is affected. At least from my understanding. Increase in employer's contribution for CPF though. Hurrah if there's a pay rise but life still has to go on if the pay stays the same right? Let's just pray for the best.


I'm hoping to see more zeros in my bank account this year. Gotta keep a tighter leash on the wallet. Maybe I should be keeping a tighter leash on my hands. Haha. Since I'm signing receipts all the time.


But what's a girl living in Singapore gotta do except to shop? Indulge me.

I wonder... Should I be asking Mum to get it for me? Sometimes I feel that I shouldn't be bothering about these things. It's making me so materialistic. Is satisfaction based on the ownership of an expensive item? Well, of course for Mum it's different. It's her money, her own hard work so it's only fair. At first I thought it's what I wanted but after pondering, I'm not sure if a 1.2K bag is what I'm lusting for. It's reasonably priced I know but there's just something in me which I can't explain in words to express my flakiness. I should be using my own money to buy it, shouldn't I? Even though Mum can afford it, somehow I don't feel at ease. I have a week to think about it. I've not told Mum yet.. since I can't make up my mind. I was pretty excited when Mum said okay but now, I'm not too excited about it. It's making me feel... I dunno... uneasy, to put it simply. Maybe I shouldn't get it after all since it's making me feel terrible inside. I'm growing up I guess. Learning the value of money... Sighz. It doesn't feel good at all. Should I? Should I not? On the one hand, I wanna get it cos it's so pretty. But this edginess I feel doesn't quite justify the lust enough. Maybe this year I should just settle for a birthday dining celebration and screw the gift. At least, that's money spent on time with family. Ooooh... What should I do?


As you can see, I'm torn between the two options. I can't quite completely give up the whole idea. Such a dilemma, although not something that would quite shatter your world, it's still a huge dilemma to me.


Time passes by too soon.

Never seem to have time on my hands these days. It doesn't help that exams are coming up, oral exam is next week, Water Sports Day is next week and the trip to YWCA is coming soon. So many things to do! Plus another observation, this time by someone who is oh-so-not-appealing to any of your senses. Haha... I'm being so mean but every inch of what is said is true. But I can't be fucking bothered. I'm fucking tired as it is already.


I can't log in to my MSN. Totally pissed off. I don't know why. Have checked my settings. Everything seems to be in order. No firewall crap. Aaargh, blasted MSN!


My life over the week has come to a complete halt. I can't wait to get it rolling again. Next week is gonna be worse what with invigilating the oral exam, Water Sports on Friday... Fuck. What a week to anticipate the arrival of my birthday.


I'm gonna let loose this evening even though I've work to do. Screw them.
I need to get a life.
