Mad about colours!
I am so into colourful and patterned tights/legging lately. I have found that this is the perfect way to liven up a mundane and gloomy winter outfit while keeping warm.
I love colours, they are beautiful and winter wear shouldn't be all dark and gloomy right? The weather is already dull enough, why makes it even more depressing? May be it is just in New Zealand, finding a colourful winter outfit is quite a challenge. People here like dark colours
Most of my winter wears are of understated shades which given a choice, I would not buy/wear them. They just drag my spirit down. BUT, now that I could finally lay my hands on these colourful tights, it is a whole new world in my winter wardrobe!

Self confidence
Ok, I am not angry about those people anymore lah. Just not worth a single bit of my cells. I am over it, over them and life moves on.....
Anyway, I had a brief chat with Rick about pretty gals the other day. It started out when I asked him if that gal friend of mine is pretty. For me, I think she is.
His reply was "She is not bad (by the way, Rick's not bad = pretty), but her lack of confidence has compromised her look. She doesn't look "alive" to me. She won't catch my eyes on the street" (0_0)!! I was like, WAHHHHH~~~~~what a detailed and pragmatic answer!
Then he proceeded with comment that a gal doesn't need to be physically pretty to turn heads. As long as she thinks she is pretty and exudes self confidence, she will catch attention.
Makes me wonder.....is this how guys look at gals? Hmmmmm..........

No more waiting!!
I DO NOT LIKE PEOPLE WHO HAVE BAD TIME MANAGEMENT!!!!!
In fact, I kinda hate them!
I think people like that are selfish and inconsiderate. All they think about is themselves, no one but themselves! Bloody selfish!
This is not the first time, but 12383759 times (okay it means countless time!). I think I am generous enough in this already. I don’t get pissed at people for the first few times or when they have some unforeseen emergency but 12383759 times? Come on, this is real bad time management already and at the expense of others. I just cannot tolerate people like this!
Some people, when invited to come along just can never make it on time, and worst is they don’t let people know, not until you call/text them. Tell me la, would you (addressing those people here) get pissed if people treat you like that? What do you think we are? Someone who is so free to sit around and wait for you while you’re enjoying you life somewhere else is it? WE ARE NOT BACKUP!! We too have a life to enjoy if you have not already known but we are too nice to waste our time waiting!
If you can’t make it, then don’t accept the invite. If you are going to be late (I’m talking about more than hour late), then tell. This is called common sense for goodness sake!
I am done being nice to these people already. Just stay away from me, far far away. We, do not belong to the same circle!

Anniversary double deal
So here comes the celebration. I had a double deal from Rick. A casual supper at Denny’s as soon as he arrived back home. It was a rather informal celebration before the special day ends. So I dragged along my sleepy face. lol
Then, we had the formal fine dinning at The Grill the day after. The food was quite a disappointment to me. Their so called Tom Yum soup tasted more like curry. My grilled chicken was dry and salty. The cheesy sticking rice that came with the chicken was horribly yucky. Rick’s Duck confit was nice though. The only comfort for me was their warm chocolate mint dom cake. Don’t think I would go back there again.

Happy anniversary, and alone
Today is our 4th wedding anniversary, also 13th dating anniversary. And, I am at home all alone, doing the laundry, ironing almost all day long. Having my dinners, breakfasts and lunches all ALONE for 2 days!! Now, I am sitting here typing this entry. Sigh!
Where the hell is he? BUSINESS TRIP!!!!! Yeah, attending a 2-day conference in Christchurch. Sigh sigh! The company better treat him well!!
We have agreed to celebrate tomorrow, a day late but as long as he is here, all else doesn’t matter. Being a good wife, I have also asked not to be given any presents. Yeah, me damn nice lah. Hahahahha NOT! Actually half nice only. Rick has spent quite a bomb buying me one thing and I just feel guilty asking more from him. So, I don’t mind not having any anniversary and birthday presents this year. See, I am easily pleased! Hahaha.
Happy anniversary my dear. It’s funny how as time goes by, the love I have for you grows stronger and stronger. I thank you for all the love and happiness you bring into my (and our) world. Without you, I wither. I LOVE YOU

The price of beauty?
It's unbeliveable how a person would go all out to just to stay young.....
Reese Witherspoon eats anti-ageing cookies. (fat free too?)
Angelina Jolie's uses a new treatment, Dermaroller, which has razor-sharp pins passed over the face to make the pores bleed. It is claimed that pricking the skin makes the body produce increased amounts of collagen to mend the damage. (Ouch! Does that really work?)
Demi Moore covered herself in blood-sucking leeches to cleanse her body. *shudder*
Debbie Harry had black sheep embryo injections to stay looking young. There were a total of 11 injections to complete! (This is the cruellest method I've ever heard of)
While I was reading all these through
STUFF, I was like "Oh my god....is this for real?" Are those methods effective and save? Sure, we all fear for being all wrinkled and saggy. We try all we can to battle with time in the hope for a glory victory. I too want to look young as long as I could if not forever, but I seriously don't think I would go this far. Would you? I would rather go for the more conventional proven method i.e facelift which has instant result than having bleeding face or leeches all over me *shudder*

My take on Perth
Perth as I see it, is a nice sunny place. Through out my stay, the weather had always been good and beautiful sunset everyday! Life there is relaxing, more so than in New Zealand if I must compare. The shopping malls, supermarkets and shops are closed on Sunday. Supermarkets close at 5pm on weekdays and Saturday! What a good life they're having!
This trip is mainly to spend quality time with my family, so I didn't get out much. More than half of the times I stayed at home with my parents. It was more like a quiet and lazy vacation. LOL And, I got to enjoy mum's cooking! I had bak chang, Sarawak laksa, curry, fried rice cake, braised soya pork etc etc (^_^). Nothing in the world beats the taste of home.
It was great to see my nephew again. He is growing up real fast, very active, talkative, funny, smart(good genes!)and love to eat. *lol* Declan is very sociable. You ask him to sing, he sings for you out loud. Try bombarding him with questions, he would answer all of them till you sick of it. He will greet you "Good Morning" when he wakes up in the morning. I love kid like this, bold, friendly and well-mannered. If I have a kid like Declan, I will be all over the moon! Oh I miss him.....I miss how he calls me...小姑姑~~ *melt~~~~~*Labels: food/drinks, Perth, travel/adventure
