On the 4th of every month is the only day I appreciate being a working adult.
For the rest of the month, I miss the freedom of being a student.
Did I mention how much I love handbag size magazines? Our local magazine publishers (SPH, Mediacorp and ACP etc) should be ashamed of themselves! Look how tiny this Glamour is! So tiny it fits into my handbag without squashing it!
They should seriously consider resizing their magazines to (1) save the mother Earth, (2) bring greater convenience to their female readers and (3) save cost!
A girl came up with a blog to celebrate her marriage. She is happy and jumping for joy thinking that her fiancé loves her.
Having to write this entry saddened my heart. First, there are many naïve girls around. Second, some guys deserve to be shot but instead of being shot, the guys are marrying naïve girls.
Some of my regular readers may find the above mentioned/shown guy familiar, he is actually the same guy mentioned in this entry (For new readers, please do read this entry before proceeding with the rest of this post).
The reasons why this blog is featured in SbR are, (1) a little birdie tipped me off that the bas***d is still a bas***d, (2) this entry serves to remind girls to keep their eyes open and that bas***ds do exist and (3) this can be a crowd-pulling post for SbR.
Let’s begin.
One.
According to a birdie, this Bvlgari proposal ring looks exactly like the one that his ex-fiancée returned to him after they breakup. He REUSED the proposal ring?
Two.
According to the same birdie, this Swarovski crystal bear was given to her when they were together and she returned it back to him after they broke up. HE REUSED the crystal bear (no question mark here). What’s worst? HE came out with a lousy story for the bear.
Three.
After buying all the expensive “gifts” for her, they settled on wedding bands from Poh Heng Jewellery – the most “Stylish jeweler in town”. Why not Bvlgari, Cartier or Tiffany?
I sincerely hope the guy did not reuse the gifts because I couldn’t think of any reason why any guys would want to do that. A friend suggested some reasons which deeply enlightened me.
MCQ: Why would a guy REUSE the same proposal ring?
A. He’s a jerk
B. He’s an idiot
C. He’s a bastard
D. He’s a cheapo
E. He’s worthless
F. ALL OF THE ABOVE ( )
I have a feeling the answer is F. I guess I must be happy that he is a tree hugger. Reuse. Reduce. Recycle.

My bangs made me look younger but it is also giving me bad skin. URGH.
Sick. Thirty Eight Point Seven. Thirty Seven Point Five. Thirty Seven Point Two. The drugs are making me high.
1040748
This is my employee code number. Looks harmless? HAH. God knows I cannot remember numbers to save my life. Yes, no pun intended. I literally cannot remember numbers such as my mum’s or dad’s mobile phone number to save my life.
Taking into consideration of my inadequacy, God assigned a set of “harmless looking” numbers for easy remembering.
Let me decode this set of numbers and you’ll understand what I’m trying to say.
1040748
10 – 40 – 748
Yi Lin – Si Lin – Qu Si Ba
Yirene – Serene – Go and die
-_-
Whenever I recite this set of numbers in my mind, it’s as though I am placing a curse on my sister and I. Hmph. What a joke. And this is the only way I can effectively remember this set of numbers.
Amandina’s elf just told me “Tokyo for S$460 on Malaysian Airline!”.
I hate working-adult’s life! I’m on probation till December. The industry’s peak period stretches from Christmas to after CNY. That means. I can only travel in March. Dang.
I was trying to search for the perfect dress (Within 2 hours. I hate work life.) for my Commencement dinner and I must say, it wasn’t too fruitful. When I am finally generous enough to reward myself to a perfect dress, I couldn’t find any. I even toy with the idea of buying a dress from my favourite online store, The Scarlette, but their rising popularity means someone will definitely be spotted in their dresses.
One lesson to be learnt in my 2 hours shopping stint is that not everyone (at least not the ordinary folks like us) can fit into a Hervé Léger (original/inspired) bandage dress.
(Hmm. This model remains me of my corpse sad bride friend.)
Upon trying on the various HL inspired dresses from Zara, F21 and other random few, I’ve concluded that I’ll just ended up looking like over-stuffed rice dumpling instead of looking hot like Joanne Peh.
Note: If you spot me in a frumpy looking dress, please, just leave me alone.
I almost died of cramp today. Men should all thank their mothers for all their pain and suffering way before pregnancy.
Boyfriend: Look, there’s a BIG BRA sale. Hmm. But I doubt you’ll find anything there.
URGH.
SbR’s opinion and review on iNo Mobile is valued (assuming they will continue doing so after this post) by Foresight Technologies (owner of iNo Mobile).
I was utterly surprised to see SbR’s review on Foresight Technologies website. It was flattering to know that our review is taken seriously. However, as a good reviewer one has to present the most honest and objective reviews to his/her audience.
So here’s my follow up review.
After-sale Service Review:
The phone was faulty right after purchase and I was furious. Adding to my misery, their service centre wasn’t at the most convenient location.
However, to my surprise, their service staff was sincere, apologetic and really understanding. In the most efficient manner possible, they replaced my phone without any questioning and had it checked and tested on the spot. [I couldn’t bear to display my usual consumer-from-hell-look after meeting their staff.]
After-sale Product Review:
My granny loves it! iNo Mobile is easy to use, fuss free and extremely elderly friendly. My granny even bought a pouch to protect it! The once technology-fearing/detesting granny actually likes her phone this time round.
Key Learning:
When service failure occurs, this is the only opportunity to convert a wrathful consumer into a loyal-potentially repeat consumer.

I’m bored and in a bad position.
Too bored to stay home, too broke to head out.
SUCKS.
“Troubled banks raising pay to retain top talent: Report”
“Bailed-out RBS to pay chief $23m: Report”
The bankers won’t learn. What is freaking wrong with them?
Yes yes. The poor bankers received lesser amount of bonuses because of all the regulation the US government placed on them. Oh poor thing. While thousands and millions are losing job because of their misdeeds, banks decided to up their basic salary to retain these supposing “top bankers”. WTH. Isn’t it time (for the bankers) to focus on the long term? Focusing on how they can get this economy going (in a right direction) instead of mulling over which bank/company is offering them a fatter compensation package?
One shall not succumb to temptations. Shopping is the equivalent to the modern day drugs except that the consumption of which is allowed and encouraged by the government agencies. Gosh.
Yesterday was a “ME” day and I busted $100 on clothes.
Today is a “Huge Sale in Kate Spade Online” day and I almost fall into temptation.
I was reminded by my sister the amount of money I owed Mama Bank / BF Bank / HDB Loan and the CPF Board. Sigh. Maybe next time.
My iPhone – Mdm Phoney – is almost 1 year old (come 09/09/09, no kidding, I should scan her birth cert aka receipt and post it up here someday) and she is behaving like a 97 year old lady. Her deteriorating health caused by frequent falls and old age means a surgical appointment with the Wheelock Medical Centre is inevitable.
P/S: Do not tell Mdm Phoney. I heard they will put her down and give me a brand new one (I think I will name her Peony)!
Here are some alarming health symptoms displayed by her over the past weeks/months:-
- Hang occasionally and unexpectedly
- Auto shut down once in a while
- Short battery life
- Poor button sensitivity
- Dropping of communication signal even in the open area
Get well soon Mdm Phoney. Or rather, farewell! Oh and hi, Miss Peony.
NOTE: I am not freaking psycho.
On a side note, I found an excellent way to transfer my phone contacts to Gmail contacts! How awesome!
Step 1: Plug in your iPhone and open iTunes.
Step 2: Click Info -> Contacts -> Check Sync Contacts with Google Contacts -> Configure -> Enter username & password -> Apply (somewhere at the bottom) & Sync (Or just randomly clicking these buttons till it work)
Step 3: Log in to your Gmail. TADAH! All your contacts are saved!
I love my iPhone!
