My Xmas presents
Been procrastinating but I figured I'd better blog before the New Year. We had an event 'Bring your kids to work' on Christmas eve. Hence, our office was filled with fun and laughter last Thursday. Some were damn noisy though, screeching away for mummies and daddies.
These rascals belong to the guy manager who always walk over to disturb us. They are really notti, just like the father. Anyway, my boss got this manager a Grumpy carebear (I helped her buy it from JB). It's an inside joke. They say he always have this grumpy face during meeting and a big tummy juz like the bear. So we were telling his little gal tat the bear represents her Daddy. She got really pissed, covered her ears and said 'I can't stand it anymore!' while shaking her head. And she also know how to roll her eye and say 'Oh man!'. Very adult and lady-like lor. Haha so funny... 
Received alot of presents from my colls. Pic only shows some of them. I felt so paiseh taking their presents. They were so sweet to get everyone something different and gift-wrapped individually. I simply bought a box of cookies for all to share. Haiz... Still feeling so bad. Shall shop early for Christmas next year...
And my very special Christmas present from a special someone:
iPod Nano! This is 8GB thus, I dun have to delete old songs so as to add new ones. Love it!
Going for my cousin's wedding dinner later tonite. On leave tmr, will be headed for buffet lunch at Carousel @ Royal Plaza on Scotts (Boss's treat) then my graduation photo shoot. Looking forward to meeting my uni bunch of frenz this coming Sat. Oh yeah belated Merry Christmas and have fun ppl!

Flu Bug
Been meaning to blog but couldn't seem to find time for it. Had dinner with Geoffrey and his gf last Mon. My cousin (he's coll with Geoff's gf) was supposed to join us but things cock up last min and he couldn't make it.
Caught New Moon after the dinner. I think the show was very draggy. Dunno whether it's because I have read the book and knew the story. Was waiting for the scenes to slowly unfold. No element of surprise or anticipation at all. The show lasted for abt 2 hours. I was close to falling asleep.
Anyway, have went JB over the weekend. Jac and I bought all our xmas presents for colls and friends already. Finally, everything is settled. We got our contact lens too. They are really cheap. I went to check out how much they are sold here in S'pore. It's abt twice as expensive. I bought a camisole and dress (which I have aimed for very long and think it is limited edition) as well from the Mango sale. Now, I just need an occasion to wear this pretty little black dress. Tot of wearing it for my cousin's wedding next Tue. But it's a bit too low-cut to wear to work in the day. Haiz... If only, my cousin's wedding was on a weekend. Oh well, shall wait for the next occasion.
Caught the flu bug over the weekend. Have been sneezing away. A bit of sore throat too. Think I had too many dark bitter chocolates last Friday. Still haven't recover today, hence was on MC. Okie, I shall go watch tv and rest alr. So excited this is X'mas week! Will blog abt my Christmas present next...

My 1st Kate Spade
Friend didn't manage to get the Kate Spade bag from US. But my manager did! Boss emailed me last week to ask if I have gotten the bag and I said nope. Hence, she offered to help me buy and here it is! She just passed it to me this morning. She even got a 20% discount. This bag is selling for S$730 in S'pore. She bought it for slightly less than S$500. That's like more than S$200 savings for me.
Bag looks nicer in picture than in realilty though. The prints are not as dark as seen in this pic and the material actually feels a bit like denim. Good thing is S'pore does not sell it. S'pore only carries red and black. I wanted red initially but found out that there is no white in S'pore. Thus, I prefer something unique where few ppl will be carrying.
Notice my title, I said this is my 1st Kate Spade. Haha... Pretty sure there will be more to come. But I swear tat's it for now. No more splurging on bags for me. This is my one big fatal weakness. Was at the airport yest (Yup somebody is back *Smiles*). Bought some Xmas gifts for my gal frenz. Left with 2 more presents to buy - colls' and friends' gathering gift exchange. Shall see whether there's anything interesting to buy in JB when I go in this Sat... Oh did I mention that the 3 OPI nail polishes I ordered through some online spree have arrived? Totally enjoy doing my own manicure/pedicure with OPI. It is really good. And new colors for this Xmas :)
