Watching, swooning over HK drama stars :>

Hello!!

I have been watching lots of Hong Kong drama serials lately. Shows like Highs and Lows, Ghetto Justice 2, Big Eunuch (HAHA, literal translation because I cannot be bothered to find out about the English name). And I must say I really like the ending / theme song for the Hong Kong drama, Highs and Lows. It is sang by... Raymond Lam. I believe his Chinese name is Ling Feng? Sorry I am not that proficient in Chinese / Mandarin / Cantonese so I cannot really spell his name. Actually, the FACT that I know his name is already quite an achievement!! HAHA!! Self-praise is no praise. :D

I find that Ling Feng is kinda handsome and suave in this MV of his when he is singing this song. Wah, traveling down the roads of HK in front of his grand piano. It's very Vanessa Carlton but I think he is a lot more good looking lah. HAHA.

Actually, I think that I like him in this MV because I really like this song. The lyrics kinda speaks of a pair of teenage lovers, growing up, mature and growing apart. One party left, while the other, refusing to grow up, stays, missing and still loving the one who is gone. So heartache right!! Makes me like this Ling Feng fella a little bit more. By the way this song is really TOPS. I have it on repeat for the longest time. :) My best friend, Eueu, really likes this guy. For me, my favourite is still Roy Ng.

I truly TRULY think that Roy Ng is really super duper handsome. He has got the moves, the grooves, the smile, the chiseled jawline, chin, the big eyes, the super hard core hair. Wah, if he comes to Singapore and likes me, MUAHAHA, yes yes dream on JILL. HAHA. In any case, one of my favourite songs sang by Roy Ng will be the theme song for one of those period drama... I forgot the title, I think it is called Rosy Business 2, but I will include the video so I can swoon over his good voice. I am unable to find a official MV but this one with the lyrics is good enough for me, so I can try to SING ALONG!

I know one of my other favourite TVB songs which Ron Ng also sings along with other stars are the theme songs for LEscargot which he sings with the lead beauty Linda Chung.

This is the LEscargot theme song video, so this is it. :) I know the ending of the show sucks cause *SPOILER*** they don't end up together (which is totally heartbreaking) so I did not watch this show. HAHA.

See Ron Ng so hot, Linda Chung so pretty. This song very nice, so heart wrenching. I don't know why I enjoy listening to this kinda sad sad songs. HAHA. So deep and a lot of words. Make me so emo only. Anyway, please enjoy the videos. I hope they make you sad like how they make me so sad from time to time. Imma gonna spend some money on ebay. MUAHAHA!! Nights!! Gotta work tomorrow!! LOVEEEE~~~ OUT I GO!!

Christmas Peektures!!

Jingle bells!!

Merry Christmas, Looking forward to the New Year!

Hello everybody!! *TWIST!*

Merry Christmas HO HO HO! The Christmas was just over. I had lots of fun during our company's Alumni Christmas party and my family's Christmas dinner. Food was awesome! YUMMERS! Before I go into the nitty-gritty of the Christmas spread, I would like to give thanks for some of my achievements and of cause, also admit to some of the (many) mistakes I have committed this one year.

I would like to give thanks for wonderful friends. Yes I know this past one year has been hectic, work has been demanding, time to hang out has been short. Money earned also not enough to finance my shopping! HAHA. However true friends are the ones who will never desert me at any point of my life, be it good or bad. Thank you all my true friends you know who you are. Karene, Eunice, Sabby, Melody, Claudia, Evie, Viviann, Anne, Esther, Bobby and many more I may not have mentioned. Also, my colleagues, without you guys working with me and supporting and helping me through these hardship, I will have definitely given up already! So, Elvi, Charis, Mandy, Diona, Irene, Tze Wei, Kingston, thank you for making my work life so much easier and colourful. Then, wanna give thanks to my bosses, Mihwa and Feng. Thank you for the love, support and help rendered at all times in my work life, and of cause the benefits and attractive pay package. I will work hard, until I cannot do it anymore. HAHA.

Also I wanna thank my family. Aiyah, you guys nothing to say ah, just don't create trouble I happy already. Help me feed my hamsters, take care of the cats, tidy up YOUR OWN MESS, and not have to trouble me to do it. HAHA. So ya, just behave yourselves, good enough. And PAPA, stop falling sick and getting injured over stupid things like tripping over the curb and trigger finger and all that nonsense. Just stay at home, guai guai, take care of the animals, play your guitar and sing song. Oh and do housework okay.

Next, I wanna thank my boyfriend pau-face, Jon and his family. Thank you for all the wonderful cooking Aunty Lily. Superb home-cooked food that I cannot get elsewhere. Seriously never have had home-cooked food for so long man, if not for you I will probably be weaker, fatter, more bloated and full of harmful chemicals from outside food. Thank you for paying for my meals when we are out together. Thank you for all the superbly prepared dips, roast meat, salads, yummy soups and noodles at family gatherings. :) Thank you JON for all your love, care and concern and also taking care of me, and handling all my smallest whims and requests. I know sometimes I am SIBEI demanding and I love to throw TANTRUMS. HAHA. Too bad cause you are my boyfriend therefore you have to tahan all my nonsense, poorthing la, but boh pian. HAHAHA!!

Next, confessions time. I know my temper has been horrible. I know my mouth sometimes (okay, always) like to curse. Sometimes I just say that it is more therapeutic to let out all my frustrations in my colourful hokkien expletives as an excuse to just wanna say something bad. So yes, in the new year, control my temper and say less curse words. I will try my best to be calm and stop my tongue. Also, I know one of my bad habits is looking for shortcuts. Regardless work related, or personal life related, I look for shortcuts a lot. Sometimes I end up spending precious money and time. I know I overspent by MUCH MUCH this year. Seriously spending more than I earn in many months. So next year, I am going to watch my spending and save more MONEY! :) - HAHA so I will just make all my final payments before the strike of the clock to 2013. HAHA! CHEAT! See what I mean! Like to lie to myself. BOOOO!!

I am sure I made a lot more errors this year, like eat too much oily food, drink too much coffee, eat too much chocolates, ice creams, cakes, eat too much carbs in the MIDDLE of the NIGHT, too many panadols, too much muscle relaxant, too much bad stuff. Next year, I will make a conscious effort to cut down by at least half. Good! I am all ready to make it good for 2013. I will be good and moisturize each night, leave a mask on once every 3 days, tone and cleanse my skin thoroughly. :) *TWIST!!* I will also try to go to Bangkok once in May / April, for my 30th birthday. Yes, next year I will be 30 years old. It will be a milestone for me. My aim is to get fitter, toner and healthier. Boh pian, lim bu lao liao, need to watch health liao, just in case become like my mum. Siao liao. 

Okay gonna talk about the Christmas spread. WOW it was awesome man! There was turkey, all 7 kgs of the bird was juicy and moist. It was superbly delicious man! The cranberry sauce, the gravy, so yummy! I think I ate like 1/4 of the poor roasted fella. HAHA. There was juicy smoked ham with apple sauce. SUPER yums. It was so salty but I ate SOOOO much, to a point where I cannot take the saltiness anymore but still I continued chewing. Oh the roast beef, I did not eat much because I don't really like beef (rather spend my calories on turkey HAHA). But it was moist and good too. I think I must have clocked like 1000 calories in one meal that day. WOO HAHA! I am going to attach some pictures in my next entry... thereabouts, so you can see!! WOO HOOO...

Today is our yearly New Year dinner gathering at Evie's place with Sabby, Melody, Evie, Viviann, Anthea, Claudia and Daphne. I AM SO LOOKING FORWARD TO THE SPREAD BECAUSE I WANNA FEAST!!! But NOW I need to head to the GYM so that I can eat in peace later. MUAHAHA!! LOVEEEE~~~~ OUT I GO!!

Peektures!

Stuff around the office, friends and life :)

Additions...

Oh yea, I wanted to say too, stuff that I left out in my previous post, or actually, I did mention a little - about my poor health. Of late, I have been really neglecting my health, like in a really bad shape. Broken skin on my knees, painful crackling knee joints, crazy hormones, bad temper, bad figure, bad everything. I am even starting to lose my appetite. Now this is serious. People who knows me well,  knows about Jill and her vivacious appetite. I can eat a cow at every meal, bring me to buffet will not lose out one. Yes, I am fussy with my food choices, but when I see something I love eating like mussels, oysters, pork knuckles, pig trotters, pig skin and fat all, I can eat them like no need reservations. Like never heard of cholesterol like that. I love chocolates, cookies, cakes, creamed stuff, what else, tarts, bread, lots of bread, ham, cheese, buns... But of late, for the last 2 weeks, I stop having cravings. I wonder if my lack of appetite has anything to do with my second unwelcoming period and crazy hormones. Oh well.

Actually, I did not really think about it much cause you know, as long as you are working and are stressed up, food choices and health is like secondary. So when my graduates start to ask me, what happened with you, why are you so pale (read bad complexion and skin losing that healthy rosy glow), haggard, and like suddenly so thin (read, small pointed face). I am starting to get a little worried.

Is it really that bad? No right? In any case, I think I really need to like, get my act back together, stop feeling so stressed up and take good care of myself, my health and my body. Because, I only have one body. I have to take good care of myself for my brothers, my father, my Jon Jon, my friends. I don't want to be a burden to my family and loved ones. :) I can do it!

Been a long time :)

Oh yeaaaa, I have not been writing. Tee hee hee. Opps. HAHA. I have been too stressed up to write, been taking all my own me time to rest, relax, chill and even though hard as I try, I end up occupying my brains and mind activity with work, work and more work related stuff. I don't exactly know how hard I have been working because, by and by I realised that my mind was getting kind of got used to the tension - but my body was giving way. I had my period 2 times in 1 month (scary! So heavy some more! Feeling so faint all the time!) The headaches that I have not been having for the longest time, came back. TMD. Work has been really trying. Events, parties, activities, this and that has been scheduled at work every 2 weeks thereabouts? So, I think I have been stretched out thin pretty much for these times.

Even so, being resilient human, I believe I can do it, and I will do it as long as I can, until I cannot anymore. :) I believe this is what good attitude is - work hard, work hard for my bosses, for as long as I can. AJA FIGHTING! Actually, si wai bo bian, wai kiam eng lui ma, ka ni na, arh bor pia letter liao. HAHA.

Right, okay, enough negative ranting so here comes some updates on what has been going on in my life for the last month or so. So we have a new staff - her name is Diona and she is really pretty. :) I like working with her. We had the live workshop with Neville Page and Ben Mauro. They are pretty cool and really interesting. We all took many pretty pictures with them. It was a tiresome weekend but it was happy to see the event end off so nicely. Feng went to Cambodia with them and brought back lots of delicious Love Letter liked cookies.

Once the live workshop was over in the early parts of December, I hurried with the preparation of the Alumni Christmas Party. My dearest colleagues helped with the school Christmas deco, the procurement of the ornaments, getting all the Christmas carols and stuff. Oh yes and also the coordination for the whole event, the timings, food, volume, slide show. So blessed and thankful for the help rendered by them even though I am sure they are all pretty tired as well. So thankful for everyone for coming early to help move things and help me with the coordination even when I was freaking out. It ended yesterday and... I think I have to go back to office to deal with the wreckage on Monday - like messy office, super duper messy office.

My students are doing quite well in school and they have not irritated me much yet. I hope, really seriously, that they will start to behave even better so that I do not have to deal with misbehavior. The next event we have to prep for, Open House and... Grad Show - Live Workshop 2013.

Since I know there will not be an end to this, might as well embrace it. :)

Confessions

OMG I have a confession to make! I was so absorbed into my work life I am like, totally neglecting everything else! Even my once a week blog post has been so delayed. I have been putting in extra hours daily, trying to finish up most of my paper work, reports, filing, scans and stuff that I have been neglecting Jon, my family, my friends, my normal social life. I realised that my normal daily texts to Jon has also decreased. MAN! CANNOT! I need to put in the effort! Ok yes I still do love the fella the same (if not more) each day, but I realised my brain has been really channelled on work, work and yes, more work each day. Oh and my sleep pattern is like totally SCREWED up. I am sleeping later and later each day and waking up even earlier than usual. It is like 2am now and I am like typing away? Not common right? :( I am afraid for myself. I hope I am not breaking over.

I have also been very pre-occupied by my new baby term. Let's face it, they are a really CUTE bunch. The dynamics that make up this class, I like. I have like, crazy people from crazy places. I have a military super good looking dude from Germany(?), heart of gold and always humble and smiling this guy. I have a couple of very cool Indo kids, young, bunch of very lovable kids who works hard. I have a couple of asians who are brought up in the West (Vancouver, California, where else?) who are like super cool, super good looking, super everything, even when they smile, man, I melt. If I am like 10 years younger I will go absolutely Taylor Swift on them but unfortunately, age has caught up and, HAHA, NO MORE CHANCE! I also have the very typical Singaporean boys and 1 pretty girl (so good looking this one, I adore this one). Oh I have this two girls from China, wow, they are very hard working, never seem to stop working. This is the way to go in FZD. Anyway, this is just a summary of the students I have in the new class. I love them (for now still) and I hope this love goes on for the rest of their stay here.

I have been kinda busy but I really want to say that I am starting to really love my job. Ok, I love my job from last time but since the move to the new location, I am starting to approach it with a new perspective and I am getting the hang of things. Let's just say that things and operations and stuff change quite a bit from last time when we were at the old place. I am also quite very concern that my students are getting the right kinda information from the school. Suddenly I am starting to get more and more concern. I hope this is right and I am able to work towards the right goal. OK! Even though I am not sleepy, I am going to lie down and FORCE MY brain to shut down.

Good night. LOVE LOVE.

Bella Box Order!

Hello! I signed up for my Bella Box order like FINALLY after considering for so long. Previously I used to get my 'surprise' love box from Vanity Trove but after getting it for 3 months (I went for the 3 months deal) I was kinda... well... not sick... but hoping to try out other surprise boxes. Just love receiving surprises right, so FUN! Like free gifts! But of course I've already paid for it with my money la. Sorry I do not have pictures of my previous VT boxes because being the very lazy person that I am, I very quickly go thru all my things in the box, and packed them away in a thousand containers. So I supposed this time, after I get my Bella Box I will start to take pictures okay? Yes, even though it is not for anyone to see, I supposed it is a good way to like, start to evaluate and like see what I am getting for the amount of money I am paying. I hope it gets fun :) I love to spend money. I think I might get broke very very soon this month (after giving more money to papa and all) Die. At most eat grass lor. Actually grass is kinda expensive (salads at work place), maybe #10 or vietnam spring roll is more affordable. HAHA. OK! Gotta go! See if I have any pretty pictures to upload later. :)

Trying to live healthy... Trying, HAHA!

Hello I have been trying to live a healthy life style and cleaning up my act, in particular, the way i wolf down food and how I eat all the time, cereal, cookies, chips and stuff. I know I am always hungry but I supposed that is hardly any excuse. I know I always blame it on PMS, HAHA, I still do, but since I am just starting to have it, my appetite is getting smaller. Well, of cause if I am like super skinny, and if I am the kind that can eat like a monster day in and out and will not put on weight, I will probably eat all the time, and I will eat every single thing and I will not care to even write about this. Of cause I can be a super skinny BUT unhealthy person, but still, I won't care to write about it.

BUT unfortunately, I am growing older and FATTER and my skin is not as good as my younger years (seriously, closer and closer to the BIG 3s, I can see my skin getting more patchy and my pores getting bigger, OH THE HORROR). So for the last one week, or so, I have been trying to eat more salads and oats (yes, I am sure my colleagues already noticed this) and less processed and salty foods. Well, I still fall for the Vietnam rice noodles + sweet fish sauce salad-noodles combo but most of the ingredients in this Vietnam dish is veggies. :) I think it is OKAY right? HEEHEE! Anyway, I think that my 'diet' plan has been working out okay because I think I feel 'cleaner' inside. HAHA. So I supposed now that I am feeling happy about my food choices, I think starting tomorrow, I will try to see if I can lose some weight - which I doubt, but I will try. Maybe I will start with like, 2 pounds loss a week or two. :) We'll see how things go!

Oh I want to say that my face skin is HORRIBLE. SORRY JILL! I have been SO lazy with my facial regime. I need to use the toner and the serum and the moisturiser.  I know I need but usually, I don't even moisturise. SO SORRY! I will do it everyday now. I WILL! So starting tomorrow as well, I will wash my face, use the toner and use a moisturiser before I go to work. When I come back from work, I will double cleanse to remove the make up on my face and use toner, serum and moisturiser. OH I have to remember my NECK skin as well. SO horrid now. So tender and soft like a older woman's. YUCKS! It is not TOO late! I will jiayou!

Yes, yes, I know that I have a lot of flaws BUT! I really want to give myself a pat on the back for being a water baby! I drink so much water, I think I am the only one chugging all the water from the dispenser in the office. I think I drink about 3 to 4 liters of water a day. A kind friend once told me not to drink so much water a day - limit to 2 liters to prevent water retention but I really cannot! The moment I wake up I drink at least 500ml, when I reach office another 500-800ml. Then throughout the day, really, I just keep chugging. The weather has been so hot recently, drinking super cold water feels awesome. And besides, if I drink less water I think I will eat more. HAHA. Okay I think it is time for bed. I need my BEAUTY SLEEP to be fresh and well for work tomorrow. Good night JILLIEBEANS!

Peektures!

Some pictures I collected over the weekend :) oh and my pretty ring bought by Jon Jon! So much love!

Happy Birthday Jon Jon! Oh Happy 2nd year Anniversary!

Hello! This weekend we celebrated my darling Jon's birthday! Jon turned 23 year old on 12 October, 2012, Friday. This year we did not eat at any fancy restaurant, not at a place that we have to pay like a lot a lot of money to eat like birdie portion food sizes. HAHA. After work on Friday, I went to Jon's place. Aunty cooked a whole load of super delicious GOODIES! Oh my gosh, there were BBQed chicken, Thai-style, with this awesome Thai sweet sauce. I ate like 3 HUGE pieces of that. There was sticky rice to accompany that delicious chicken pieces. Okay and there were satay as well. I didn't like the satays too much so I only had 3 sticks. Not as yummy as they said they were. Maybe because I don't take satay sauce - perhaps the satay taste MUCH better with the sauce. Hmmm. Aunty prepared like 7 cold crabs! The crabs are superb duper huge OK! Wow! I had one HUGE pincher. WOW! The meat was very sweet and crunchy. I did not have crab in a long long time man. And this is really a treat. Very delicious. I hope I get to eat more cold crab soon. YUMMY! Jon Jon had a lovely chocolate mousse and brownie cake. YAY! My baby is officially 23! I am so much older than he is. -_-" OMG. So sad. HAHA. Serves me right for dating a young boy. HAHA.

This weekend we also celebrate our 2nd year together. YAY~ so much to be happy for. Time flies very fast. In a blink of an eye, 14 months flew pass. We celebrated our Anniversary on the 13 instead of the 14. We went to Antoinette for high tea! The cakes, pastries, coffee and tea there was amazing. So rich and taste so good. We even had my favourite macaroons. :) SO YUMMY! We had to queue for quite long though. The outlet at Mandarin Gallery was quite small and of cause Antoinette is a place many young ladies like to go chit chat and chill, gossip with their friends. After our tea, we went to shop around Orchard for our Anniversary gifts to each other. We went to Tangs and I went to a favourite Gordon Max. I needed to send my old ring for repair and cleaning. OH and we brought me a NEW RING! So nice and pretty affordable! They have a 20% off and a $80 voucher for my next purchase! WAH LAU! So worth it! My ring was very sparkly and very nice. I like it SO MUCH! Thanks DARLING! For Jon, I bought him a Abercrombie and Fitch tee-shirt :) He looked so fine in it. Too bad I did not take any pictures. AIYOH. HAHA. We met up with Tania and Huiting shortly and Huiting also bought a tee-shirt for her better half. *wink!* The tee-shirts are so nice I know now where and what size tee-shirts to get for Jon at this place. I may get another shirt for him later this month or next.

Sunday, which is today, Jon had to stay at home to study and do his homework (HAHAHA! Orh-bee-good) so I went to Bugis Junction and Bugis Street on my own to do some shopping. Shopping was good!! I bought some pretty affordable and nice things! A dress from topshop, I have some discount from my Fashion Forward card, a top from Bugis Street, a clutch to replace the one I threw away cause all the leather like flaking off and a couple of hair ties. Aiyoh I swear I am so CHEAPO. There are some pretty nice stuff but I keep thinking they are so EXPENSIVE and so totally never buy even though they are almost like dirt cheap already! But SEE! I still can buy something from topshop. Terrible right me! Really addicted to shopping and the mere pleasure of OWNING something. Does this means I am materialistic? But I don't go for brands. So this means I am materialistically stingy and not brand conscious? HAHA. A good analogy I think. Oh and shopaholic!

OKAY it is late and this crazy shopaholic is going to bed. Tomorrow is there first day of school, actually it is TODAY, and I must reserve all my energy to TARGET MY CHILDREN. HAHA. 23 new kid-lings. :) Good night! Pictures next entry!

Weekend fun

This weekend! Balloon sculpting, my broken skin, my Lego feasting! Fai's birthday dinner celebration and a whole load of other fun! :)

Change my blog look again!

Hey guys guys!! I changed the look of my blog again! Actually I am not very smart. I realised that there are actually a lot a lot of blog skins for my to choose but always, I choose or I think those that are on default are the only kind of blog skins / template that they have. So dumb right? So that day I was fooling around with the designs and the tabs then I found this so like... disco ball, neon neon, pastel colour looking template. So nice right? Me likey! :) I don't think anyone ACTUALLY reads my blog, other then those few students from 2011DID10 that was forced by Valerie to read the blog page. HAHA. So moving on, I am sure no one actually keeps up on my life stories and I am going to start to write crap about people again. HAHA! KIDDING AH!

Having said all these, I would like to give a recount of my life so far. I have slowly gotten over my heartbreak of my seniors, who as lovable as they can be, have left us to greener pastures. They will be conquering their own futures and battles at work and so will I have to do the same back in the office. We will be anticipating about 23-24 new students next term. I will have about 10 locals and 13-14 international students. WOO HOOO, I wonder how this batch of students will be like. Hmm, will they be fun? Friendly? Approachable? Lovable? Rude? Obnoxious? Quiet? Crazy? HAHA. So much to expect from this new batch. I am getting a little bit tired frankly. Constantly when new people come in, it drains my energy. I have to learn to cope with changes, new people and adapt better to my surroundings and work. I have to understand that no matter how much interest, passion and love I have for my work, and no matter how close to life my work is, it is still just a job. I need to exercise a bit of, what do you call it, distance, if not I will be consumed physically and mentally, emotionally. Of cause, I will want to give as much as I can, but I also have to learn to control myself. Dear God, I will be counting on You for this. :) I need You to help me cope and yes, continue to challenge me, break me, but still give me the courage, patience, favor, compassionate and victory to succeed in my life at home and at work. Thank You Lord. :)

Today I helped out at church. It was the Children's Day celebration camp. A whole day of fun and games was planned for the kids of church and from the other schools and centres that the church reach out to. :) I helped with balloon sculpting. Thank You Lord once again for a ready heart that was really, ready to learn. I used to be like, seriously NOT interested in balloons, I don't even like balloons. But today!!! WOW I learn how to tie balloons, make doggies, bunnies, wands, swords, this and that from BALLOONS! Yes I paid a hefty price because my fingers were all swollen and bruised and all my skin came out and it looks like it's slightly infected. They are all SO SORE NOW! BUT I am so happy. LORD! Thank you LORD! I am so HAPPY, SO TIRED but more happy now than I have EVER been in a LONG time! Thank you for this time of fellowship and get together and love from everyone. I LOVE YOU LORD and I will continue to serve You with a READY heart. Thank You Lord, in Jesus Name! AMEN.

I am really tired now. I am going to call Jon to talk to my handsome boyfriend. Oh and I will update my next blog entry with pictures from the weekend (that includes Fai's birthday party) ~~ LOVE LOVE NIGHT!~

It's PARTAYYYY TIME!!!!

Some snapshots of my lovely children in their final moments :) - like die Liao like that. CHOI! Haha.
