In any case, we went to Clarke Quay last night, to this club called The Clinic. The music was quite good and fortunately, we managed to find a table and seats. Had Vodka Cranberry, a bottle of Moet Rose, Lychee Martini and a Mojito. The Mojito was not as nice as some latin clubs. Oh well, afterall, Clinic is not exactly a latino club. Oh, did I mention that I managed to smile my way to get the bartender to give me 3 lychees in my Martini? Haha. He was frowning and saying no, could not give me more than 1 lycee. Oh well, 3 lychees were just nice, 1 each for myself, Phyllis and Florence.
Expectedly, I was kinda intoxicated by the high alcohol intake but not pissed drunk to the extent that I fell asleep. I was aware of my surrounding and was really trying to dance off the exhilarated feeling. It certainly didn't help that some stupid guys were trying to hit on me.
There was this boyish looking guy who offered me his jug of god-knows-what but I rejected his "kind" offer. However, I lamented something like he looked younger than my younger brother. Then he got really agitated and kept telling me he was 28. He basically kept dancing up to me and telling me he was 28 and not young like I imagined him to be. Oh please, do I look like I give a damn? Please grow up, kid.
Then there was this guy at the next table who kept telling me he was shy but would like to watch me dance instead of dancing with me. Shy, my foot. Oh, and his friend was such a seasoned player, telling me how hot I was and he only had eyes for me. Yah right. *YAWNZ*
There were a few others and I basically was not very friendly. Think Phyllis would agree with me on that. My words to these men were always dripping with sarcasm. Ouch. Well, I can't help it. All I want is to have fun with my GAL friends and not get chatted up by nincompoops.
Both Phyllis and Florence brought their cameras and we took quite a few pictures.
Nice digicam and pretty in red!
OMG! We are drinking blood!
STOP drooling!
By the way, Kenneth came down to the club to look for me last night after his movie. He did not even inform that he would be coming and by the time he called and Phyllis answered my phone, he was already at Clarke Quay and wanted to send us back. By then, we were already waiting for Anthony. So, half drunk as I was, I still thanked Kenneth for coming and told him I was alright. I even bade him goodbye! :)
It was quite a night and we all had lotsa fun. When I spoke to Anthony this afternoon, I was really laughing.
Anthony: Someone drunk right? Don't even know who send her home hoh?
Me: Of course I know you sent me home!
Anthony: And did you know you puke in my car?
Me: No way. I know I didn't. I puked outside the car when I reached my block.
Anthony: Ok lah. So you know. Anyway, you never puked in my car is because I give you plastic bag k.
Me: Yah yah, special thanks to your plastic bag loh!
Hmm, maybe I should just buy him a carton of plastic bags to put in his car to standby. Haha!

Anyway, I had wanted to eat something soupy but he wanted to have BBQ Steamboat. I was not so thrilled as I know it will make my hair, clothes and body stink after that. In any case, we still went and I did not eat much.
Not sure what is wrong with me of late but I don't have much appetite lately. Whether I am having some simple fare or some delicacy, I have no special liking or satisfaction after the meal. The following scenario is quite common of late.
Oh, it's meal time... I am hungry, I need to eat. Hmm, so what should I eat? Oh ok, craving for this particular food. I will go eat and during the meal, though it's something I wanted to eat, I don't feel too thrilled about it. Then after the meal, I will just be glad that I am not super full but just nice.
Having mentioned all that, it doesn't mean I am losing weight cos I am eating less. I still continue my fair share of chocolates or ice-cream. I just hope that I will start liking or craving for normal food soon. I suspect it is because I have not been pushing myself hard enough physically. As in, I should be exercising more rather than just dancing and inline skating. I have been wanting to start swimming again and better get down to it. I don't wanna just say and not act on it. Discipline and time is all I need. Yes, I shall do that and crunches too. Looking forward to a more toned body!
Hopefully with more physical strain on my body, my appetite will be back. I naturally have a healthy appetite and I love food. Have never gone on a diet and don't intend to stop liking food too. Guess I will just monitor and see how things go. Perhaps for a start, can start asking Mummy to cook my favourite food then I will start craving once more. Hmm, I sure miss my healthy appetite!

Anyway, wanted so much to go for the morning Inline Skating class but could not wake up in time. Slept at 3am and just could not pull myself out of bed at 8am. In any case, I did Inline Skate at noon and cleared the lesson. Unfortunately, clumsy me did not clear the Evaluation for Level 1, hence could not move on to Level 2 next week. Got to re-take my Evaluation again. Boohooo!
Phyllis was very sweet to meet me this afternoon before Inline Skating lesson to accompany me. Spoke to her on my emotional state and felt better after that. Anyway, I did what I should have done
As I signed up for the 1-month unlimited Inline Skating lessons which would have expired next week, Francis was sweet enough to wanna continue another 1-month with me. However, after next week, we would have a 1-week break where I can go do my hair and manicure+pedicure while Francis will be going to Tioman.
I am getting excited at the thought of moving into another level of Inline Skating. To make things more fun, we are finally starting with Tango again on 17 June. It has been nearly 2 months and I am really looking forward to Ballroom Dancing again. Latin Cha Cha and Latin Samba have been fun but Tango will be totally different. Equally, if not more challenging too.
Well, it has been a really sucky weekend and I know my emotional state will continue to be bad for the next one week. Nonetheless, I am looking forward to the upcoming planned activities I will be having. Oh yah, did I mention that I may be starting diving in 2 months time? Hmm, that is if my budget allows. Will see how it goes. Meanwhile, still seeking swimming or hiking kaki. So, who is GAME? :)

I met up with Zijun and her friend for dinner and then shopping at Takashimaya. Had the intention to buy lotsa things but ended up only getting a pair of black heels. Nonetheless, I am still a happy girl!
As usual, was surfing Victoria's Secret and lemming for these dresses now. Think I should wait for the 3 VS tops I ordered to arrive in June before placing order for any of these dresses. Just so that I can be sure of the size. Anyway, here are the beauties....
The revolutionary patented technology of our IPEX® bra, built into a sexy halter dress. Delivers lightweight coverage where it's needed with a graduated pad seamlessly integrated at the apex of the bra cup. Designed with supima cotton for luxe softness and stretch for versatility. Imported cotton/spandex.
23" from waist.
Sexy silhouette in summer colors. Shelf bralette with substantial stretch for support with no show-through. Slim fit. Imported cotton/spandex.
18" from waist.
Sexy silhouette in sizzling summer colors. Shelf bralette with substantial stretch for support with no show-through. Strapless with empire waist and tie. Fit-and-flare shape. Imported cotton/spandex.
17" from waist
So, which colour is nicer?
A beach cover-up in bloom, with floral prints and embroidery. Fit-and-flare empire-waist shape with ruffle hem. Strapless. Imported cotton.
18" from waist.
So, which is the prettiest of them all? I feel like getting all of them but too broke to. I need my pay rise and promotion soon. Like REAL SOON! *SULK*

On a happier note, I met Alex for movie after work. Went to Gelare for waffle ice cream before catching french film Priceless (Hors de Prix) which stars the lovely Audrey Tautou.
This romantic comedy is certainly worth watching and I thoroughly enjoy it. Even for guys who are not into romantic comedy, Audrey is such an eye candy that you have every reason to catch it. Oh yah, got to thank Alex for his great company too! :)

Was feeling a little down today and did not want to stay late. Left office with lotsa outstanding work untouched to meet a friend in town so that she can pass me something. Feeling a little moody after meeting her, I ended up shopping at DFS and got myself a new Coach Signature Beaded Mini Skinny purse, within 15 minutes.
This is in brown. The one I brought is in biege.
Shopping makes me happy, as I am able to know what I am buying and I like what I am buying. There are lotsa things in life which are not so straightforward. Sometimes, we may like something but can't have it. Similarly, there are things that we may not like but they just keep coming our way. It is so lack of control.
Many tell me that I should control my spending habit but honestly, to me, I think retail therapy is one of the few things that is within humane control. I like, I can afford, I buy. It is so simple. I don't like complexity. I am just a simple girl, in this complicated world. Simplicity appeals to me. A lot. Always.
I did not hang around further and headed home after DFS, for dinner. Soon after dinner, I was at it again. Yes, shopping. Online. Victoria's Secret webby looks more inviting today than any other day. Shopping is so sweet today, but not as sweet as these 3 tops I just ordered...
Now, that's what I call hot!
I love the cut!
Because I am very fair, I got this in black.
Love the eyelet behind!

I had thought that we could meet up about 7.30pm to have dinner but in the afternoon, he told me 8pm. Fine, then at about 7.30pm, he texted me that we could only meet at 9pm. I was really hungry. I am anaemic. If I don't eat, I will feel faint.
I knew that I could not wait till 9pm so I replied him that we would meet another day when he can be more free and perhaps, stick to his promised time. And strangely, he just got angry at me and said not to meet ever again. I was totally shocked and asked what was up with him but he just mentioned not to spoil both our weekend and to just enjoy my dinner.
Now, this is really appalling. I know that he has committments and did not complain when he postponed the time to 8pm. But now that he could not make it at 9pm, was it wrong of me to think of my health and go ahead for dinner myself?
I don't like arguments or fights. His sudden mood change scares me. He said before that I am very temperamental. I admit that sometimes I am. But today, in the earlier scenario, I was not even throwing any temper. I just did not want to end up fainting like I did before, from hunger, simply cos I am anaemic and I have a low sugar count.
He mentioned over sms (after I said something on MSN which he found really rude) just a few days ago that I always think of people hurting me but not when I hurt people. I admit that sometimes I can be insensitive but more importantly, I think sms and MSN are very bad communication medium and can cause misunderstandings easily. I prefer to talk, especially when I want to bring my point across properly, without people thinking that I am insinuating otherwise.
Now, just thinking back about earlier and also what he had mentioned a few days ago, I am starting to wonder if I am really such a prick that friends dislike me so much. I don't treat many guys as good friends, so when they feedback anything to me, I really will take them as genuine comments and try to change for the better if I can.
It's true that I think too much at times. However, this time round, perhaps it is really true that he doesn't ever want to see or hear from me anymore. I never like to be deemed as a pest and perhaps family committments made him react so. Nonetheless, perhaps I really should just stop contacting him as he had wished.
Oh well, though there aren't many guys that I enjoy going out with, I can always go out with my ever-so-busy gal friends. Yah, think I shall do so and enjoy myself instead of feeling so clueless on why someone is mad at me on a weekend. Time to get myself busy!

It had been such a long time. So long that I almost forgot how safe it felt in his arms.
My left hand trailed its way to his face while I gazed up at his boyish looks. I wondered, how could I have forgotten that cute grin and those eyes which blazed with such intensity.
He asked, "What are you staring at?"
"Nothing," I whispered and broke into a smile. "Good night."
And I slept, with his arms around me, cuddling me. Hmm, it is so nice having someone tucking me in to bed. But I know, that I won't be seeing him again, at least not until a long time later.

It was an early start with the bus leaving at 7.45am for My Tho, where we took a motorboat and sampan to the orchard islet where all the tropical fruits could be found and tasted.
Upon reaching the island, we followed the guide and was introduced to how people from the country side got honey from bee.
The tour guide kept asking me to hold it which I REFUSED profusely!
We were then brought to an eating place for tropical fruits. There was even a music treat from the host...
Next, we visited a coconut candy "factory". It was actually a make-shift set-up where they made coconut candy from fresh coconut. It was amazing and tasted really good. I bought a few packets back for relatives and colleagues.
We then embarked onto a hand-crowing sampan boat to a resort for lunch.
Food at the resort was miserable but we made do. After lunch, we were given some leisure time to explore the area and could even cycle around as bicyles were provided. Mummy and I decided to just roam around. There was a small school and some houses and that was all about it on that small island.
The battery on my digital camera went flat so no photos after this. Anyway, we headed back after that.
The following day was actually our last day at HCMC. We did not do much but just shopped around at Ben Thah Market for souvenirs and collected our tailor-made cheongsam and Vietnamese ao-dai which cost about US$20 per set.
All in all, was a fruitful and enjoyable trip.
For the fun of it, here is a picture taken during Chinese New Year when Mummy and I donned the ao-dai.

Because Liberty 4 Hotel was just 5 minutes walk away from our hotel, Liberty 3, there was a Christmas party held there for in-house guests. on Christmas Eve. And so Mummy and I went.
The dinner was quite nice but too bad the game and performance were all in Vietnamese languages so Mummy and I left soon after. Walked around the area and saw that there was a countdown nearby but also in their local language. I had wanted to go for a drink but Mummy was tired so we went back to our hotel.
In our room, we found...
With compliments from Liberty 3 Hotel.
And since we were so bored, we started taking pictures in our hotel room. Yes, while counting down to Christmas! :)
