Vitamin C

Out of desperation after seeing the darn face, I burned 238 bucks on that Huet Biologie 21-day Vitamin C treatment. 3 tiny bottles in a box and I have to use up 1 bottle for 7 days before popping the 2nd bottle and so on. I think my complexion has improved quite abit, albeit 3 zits on the right side of my face : / Well, I will have to see how it goes and of course, pray hard for a miracle to happen - Is it so damn difficult to achieve crystal clear complexion? : (

It was a tiring day for me yesterday - It was burnt on visiting our relatives (Oh yes, his and mine) Mine was a breeze - We met up with the eldest son of my Gramp's brother at his place and all I did was hand him empty wedding invitation cards and got the guest headcount in return (Viola!) We proceeded to Fat Boy's relatives and it was a nightmare. First of all, his parents did not really keep in touch with the latter and the worst thing was, they did not have the addresses of these people : o So it was purely wild goose chase. Can you imagine walking round the block to look for that particular unit? (Fainted) As if it was not bad enough, my head ached from the continuous squabbling between his parents. Exchanges of cutting remarks circulated in the car and my head ached more than ever > . <" Ultimately, miracles do happen - we managed to find his relatives and handed them the wedding invitation cards (Whether they turn up or not remains as a big question mark)

I think the best thing about yesterday was dinner at Toa Payoh Industrial Park - We had chilli Sri Lanka crabs, stir-fried kale in garlic and coffee pork ribs before sending his parents home.

As for last Friday, it was steamboat dinner at Liang Seah Street with the SPI guys before heading to "Transformers" at Marina Square : ) I thought I would doze off during the show, but I didn't : D

Last Week...

Gee, after peering into the mirror thousands and millions of times, I realized that my poor face need immediate help and I finally succumbed to Aunt Helen's Huet Biologie Vitamin C treatment. I went to her salon last Tuesday and found out that she had gone for her church camp and would only be back tomorrow (How unlucky can I be!) Though my face has kinda improved, I guess it will be too late for bloody porcelain complexion on that big day. Damn!

On a happier note, Fat Boy and I went down to Ubi to collect our 100 pieces of wedding invitation cards last Thursday : > We were so damn happy to see our names on the inserts (You wouldn't feel the ectascy until you get your own wedding card!) We met up with Sworn Sista and her husband for dinner at Xin Wang Hong Kong Cafe and it was good to catch up (yes, though I wasn't too happy with her...) and without realizing, we ended the session at 1am. I was ultra tired and did not bother to wash my hair before I slept : P (Will that cause my face to rot faster?)

As for Friday evening, it was bak kut teh and soursop juice for dinner before proceeding to Ikea (not again!) to hunt for the dressing table and wardobe. Arghhh..I hate hunting for furniture! Saturday was a fun-filled day as we met up with the SPI guys and Sunshine Boy for badminton at Revenue House. Though I don't really like sweaty sports, I enjoyed the session very much : D After washing up, we headed to Toa Payoh Industrial Park for dinner - Chilli Sri Lankan crab, coffee pork ribs, fried fish, spinach in scallop gravy, claypot noodles, followed by dessert of chopped white fungus and water chestnut in soya bean milk. The night ended at 2am, after "Drag Me To Hell" at Vivocity.

Sunday was a day of relaxing at home and it was good to have Aunt Linda and Mingkai to visit us : ) As for dinner, it was steamboat dinner with Aunt Maddy at Golden Mile before driving to Geylang to pack 15-bucks-for-6-durians. Though it was deliriously delicious, my body couldn't help but felt heaty throughout the whole night. I guess it's time to stop eating durians for the time being until 4 July - Yeah, I am going for durian buffet in Johor Bahru~~

One Month & A Half

Another month and a half before the big day! What have I done for preparations..? Well, I have been chasing the female Chinese national who is responsible for the printing of my 100 pieces of wedding invitation cards. To be frank, it should be the restaurant manager who should be liaising with her and not me, but apparently, I am doing the dirty job. As if it was not bad enough, there were some issues over the map - I wanted one in every wedding invitation, but she told us in a slipshod attitude that it was not her responsibility. In addition, every golden string that comes with the wedding invitation card costs 10 cents (Argh!) After engaging in a couple of email wars, I finally got what I wanted and well, if nothing goes wrong, I should be getting my 100 pieces of wedding invitation cards by this week and yes, I have to pay 10 bucks for some freaking golden strings~

Though I had chosen my wedding photographs and layout of the wedding album, the bridal boutique could never got our wedding portrait right - Fat Boy's teeth looked like a dracula's (They were too big and too white!) and they finally got it right after 3 attempts ; / I am going to choose my wedding and evening gown next Tuesday and I hope they can get the right ones for me. I heard of many horror stories from friends who had been through the ordeal and I guess I am going to make sure I will not be a victim!

As for furniture, both Fat Boy and I went to the Sea Horse Superstore at Compass Point to check out the mattress and bed frame. We walked out of the store as happy customers though we were 1500 bucks poorer : D I am so damn looking forward to sleeping on my new Diamond mattress! The next items that we will be looking at are a wardrobe and a dressing table : ) Arghhhh...I prefer to shop for clothes than pieces of wood : P

I must also make sure that I drop another 5kg and of course, to unclog that bloody clogged face, so as to look my best on that day! Wish me all the best!!

27 Years & 1 Day Old

Oh yes, I can feel my porcelain complexion coming back - I went to Aunt Helen's for facial just now and as usual, it was a painful process. Imagine heading straight and digging into every single clogged pore and extracting yellowish gunk (I believe it was a mixture of blood and dirt though I refused to see none of it). I guess my pain tolerance has progressed to the next level, but of course, there were times of crying out loud when she performed her art on my forehead (Duh! Masses of veins are found there) Nevertheless, it's all worthwhile so long as I can get my procelain skin back!

After my painful session, Fat Boy, who also had facial (but at FIL, to have his millia removed), brought me to Nihon Musa, a Japanese bistro that sells all kinds of sushi at 99 cents each, at The Cathay. I like the Pick-What-You-Want-As-We-Do-Not-Serve-You concept and it is quite value-for-money; our bill came to about 17 bucks for a pot of green tea, fried tofu, miso soup and countless plates of sushi? I guess the next outing with either Sunshine Boy and the gang or the SPI peeps will be there ; )

It's a week and a day after my 27th birthday. I would like to thank everybody for their well-wishes and gifts. Lest you guys want to know who bought me what, let me share with you : )

Fat Boy - A bouquet of 50 dollar note wrapped Ferrero Rochers. There were 12 50 dollar notes in all : )
Aunt Maddy - Jack's Place Mango Cake. I love it though I cannot eat too much ; )
Gramps, Daddy & Mummy - Red packets and yes, I have not opened them.
Rightie - A Topshop bikini. I will definitely wear it to the next beach outing alright? Organize one quickly!
Sunshine Boy & Yam Gal - Thanks for the Bodyshop Energy Bag! I simply love the scent of lemongrass : D
