| Woo, this seems like an interesting topic isn't it? How this title came about is because I've been reading Jane Moore's books and I think they're superb! It talks about love and sex. And the title of Ciara & Justin Timberlake's song came to mind. So, Love, Sex, Magic. What I'm about to write may potentially piss some people off, but heck, it's my blog anyway. I will try my very best to put things across nicely still. I've read 2 of Jane Moore's books. The Ex Files & The Second Wives Club. Both are equally good, I canot decide which is better. First, The Ex Files, as you can read from the title of the book, talks about exes. The past. Of course it also does talk about the present. I, particularly like the whole setup of the story because it talks about a model, and slowly morphing into a glamourous model. That aside, it talks about her being fiesty and all, and how she almost cheated on her husband to be in a week's time. Worst part of the story? The guy she was with whom she brought home to bed but didn't have sex with before the wedding is the brother of the bridegroom. Talk about the world really small. There, the author also talk about the exes at the wedding. I found that particularly interesting. Anyway, if you are interested, you can read it yourself. Go and borrow the book. I would really like to discuss on the second book instead. The Second Wives Club. What is this all about? It talks about all the second wives apparently. They form a club of 4 ladies, all are branded as second wives as their husbands previously had a marriage. Be it the first wife being alive or dead. Think the movie, Ghosts of Girlfriends Past. This is Ghosts of Nightmare Wives. Lol... The 4 characters are Julia, Susan, Alison and Fiona. I'm more interested in Julia, Susan and Alison. Julia: A glamourous homemaker. In Singapore lingo, a Tai Tai. A trophy wife. Perhaps, a tad too perfect. Susan: A normal woman, who has so much warmth in her heart but gets taken for granted. Alison: A pretty lady who realises her husband doesn't really love her. Let's start with Julia's story. Julia is gorgeous, intelligent and sexy. She had to deal with Deborah, her husband (James) ex wife. The 'friendship' between Deborah and James were supposed platonic. But oh well, women being women, tend to get jealous once in a while. Tell me, is it right or wrong to drop in to your ex wife's place whenever anything in her house breaks down? Or to go to her place for a haircut that looks really ugly? Sometimes, life just have to move on right? Ok, this is really long story cut short, but if you read the entire book which happens to be 343 pages, you'll get the story. Guess what's the ending for Julia? Because she doesn't want to have children, James went back to look for Deborah and was unfaithful to Julia. Worse still, Deborah conceived his baby! Ending, a divorce of course. Next Susan. Susan is not married to Nick. They are living together ever since his ex wife Caithlin died. Caithlin and Nick had a child name Ellie. Susan took care of Ellie and love her to bits, as though she's her own daughter. As age is catching up, she's already in her thirties, she's desperate to have a baby with Nick. When she broached the subject, he nonchalently brush it off and said it's not of best inerest for Ellie. He has never really look deep into the thoughts of Susan nor ask her anything about it. In short, Susan felt that she has been taken for granted, and have always been a shadow of Caithlin. Wake up call? Susan was involved in an accident. That's when Nick realise how stupid he was and not telling her things he felt. Not knowing how much she meant to him until the time she was in a coma. Life's like that. Not knowing how to treasure someone when he or she is around. When they're no longer there, it's too late for regrets. However, they had a happy ending. I shall not spoil the author's story. Read it!!! Next, Alison. Her husband is dying to have a baby in a natural way. However, Alison has medical condition which might require medical help in order to conceive. Husband, a huge moron whose ego is bigger than a dinosaur. He refuses to give samples of his sperm to test as he had 2 children from his previous marriage and he insists he has no problem. Oh, not forgetting his 2 sons are of utmost importance to him. Try telling that to your wife that she's second to you. She what you get. Well, her husband (Luca) told Alison that his sons are really important to him and if he has to choose, he will choose them over her. Ouch! That also shows something about the relationship. I thought, or probably women will think this way, why can't he love her equally as he loves his sons? Besides, Alison is trying so hard to have a baby with Luca. She even went for surgery to correct some dunno what tubes in her body. Yet this idiot is defeated by his own masculine and refusing sex because he finds that sex should be spontaneous and not calculating when is the fertile period etc. And while on a holiday, after Luca's business trip, Alison flown in to join him. Just upon reaching the hotel room, it was Alison's most fertile period, again Luca has the same perception about un-spontaneous sex. Then his ex wife called to say his son has broken his leg. He left the hotel room and asked Alison to stay since it's a waste for the vacation to end this way. Indeed. It was an end for them. It's really a super super short summary of the story and from what I'm writing, my readers may not exactly really understand the agony of the women. So women, I'm pretty sure you'll love the story as much as I did. Go and read it! Guys, if you wanna learn how to be a better man can also grab this book too so as to understand your lady counterparts. Some things are really 100% nono! No, I don't get any advertising fees. I just felt that good things gotta share. Ha! | | |
| Today bb made me a little mad cos happily I asked him to go shopping with me right? We had around 1 hour to shop only, and when he reached Raffles City Shopping Centre, he told me he's hungry. So ok, we went for food cos I don't want him to break into cold sweat. Still I was happy that he can come shopping with me. Then, we went to get some Xmas cards and I got some things for myself as well. I got a frame and a cross to put by my bedside. We went to River Island next and then to the basement. At the basement, his face turned grey. He looked so damn bored that I thought might as well we end the shopping day. It was technically less than an hour walking. Sigh....... I know shopping isn't a guy's forte, but I just hope that it's the companionship that's more important. Anyway he said it's cos his bag is heavy. Oh well, my bag was heavy too. Anyway, later on in the night he texted me a =) cos when he tried smiling at me at City Hall station, I didn't smile back. Hee... I'm not so petty la! I'm soooooooooooooooooo sweet can? You know why I bought a photo frame? Cos I had this in mind to put beside my bed. See, I put us! 
After I took the cross out from the box. 
So with our picture beside the cross, I ask God to watch over you, to send his love to see you through. See, even though I'm still a little mad at you, I still put our picture ok. 
I also bought this beauty set! The pic don't do the real thing justice. The real thing looks so pretty, and the brushes and compact mirror has crystals on it!!!!!!!!!!!! I did all this shopping cos I was a litle unhappy earlier on and the shopaholic me decided to emerge itself. 
I love Cotton On's clothes! I bought 2 dresses, a floral one and a lacey back. 
Have chance I'll model the dresses. I think they look lovely. Tomorrow is outing day! Yeah!!! | | |
| As December is here, it's sooo close to Christmas! I'm looking forward to this month especially so with so many activities coming up. I know I'll probably bore some of you by repeating myself, but I guess you can really feel my excitement right? Some other activities just known today is that we are going to have a peer accountability outing in mid December. Probably ktv or something. And I'm gonna take up golfing lessons on 18th December. First lesson officially starts. Fun and no sun! Cos we're gonna start our lesson at 8pm. Ha! I'm not sure which country club is it, but if I'm not wrong it should be Sembawang Country Club. It's organised by my colleagues, so details for them to work out. I just pay the course fees and go with them. Next year, there'll be a sponsored trip to BKK. It's like darn! We only knew of the news today, though not confirmed on the destination, I highly suspect it's gonna be at Bangkok still. Total crappiness. If I knew I wouldn't have booked our March trip to BKK already. *roll eyes* Nonetheless, still looking forward to it as well. So long can chill and relax. Hee.. talking about relaxation, I'm going to a spa at Bella Luna soon. Have yet to decide on the day yet. Shall see. So, a recap of my social calendar this month. 1) Spa at Bella Luna 2) Golfing lessons 3) PAG outing 4) Mani & Pedi with Sindy 5) Candlelight service 6) Xmas party with sec sch mates 7) St. Regis wedding 8) Xmas with Jingwei 9) Xmas party with colleagues 10) Xmas & Birthday with bb 11) Xmas service 12) Mom's birthday 13) 31st December dinner at Meritus Mandarin +countdown 14) Anniversary wtih bb! After an eventful year, it's time to enjoy a little, but meanwhile, I still have banding target to hit! Oh man! Forget about work for a while now, just chill first. | | |
| Yep, the long awaited updates on my life. I know I'm not updating my blog that often, but heaven, no choice! I think I'll be less occupied in terms of work in the month of December, so hopefully I will be updating more. On 7 November, it was a really early Christmas pictures taking day. For those who've been following my blog long enough since the day I started blogging, I think you all know how much I love Xmas. It's a yearly tradition to take pictures with the lightings and all. I think I missed it last year though. One reason was also that I didn't have a boyfriend at that time. Lol! Every year there was a boyfriend to take pictures together with me. Nonetheless, I had a good time last year. Time flies, and another year has come! I'm not elated because I've already touch mid twenties this year. That's quite horrifying. Before you know it, it's the big '3'! Omg... This year has marked a difference in my life. I've learnt the ups and downs in this career, appreciating the angels I got, thanking God for everything that has happened in my life. I also thank God for my lovely home; my parents and my sister; my dearest Lenco, who lifted my spirits up whenever I feel down, for getting sweeter each passing day, for giving me a big bear hug when I feel that all things are wrong; for my colleagues who've helped me alot in my career; my friends who have been there for me; for my clients who've made this year possible. Alot of things to thank for. I really appreciate all of you. So anyway, some pictures taken on 7 Nov. At Marina Square Pizza Hut. The lighting there was pretty good. 
Bb was trying to take a picture of my shiny top. 
Bb, when he's doing cute stuff. 
Peek-a-boo game. 
Blink blink in bling bling. 
This is a video actually. Was quite silly doing this video, but somehow I like it. Bb keep asking me to do chest out so that the light can reflect. 
Lovely lights! 
Love this pic. 
At Suntec. Christmas Tree and a kiss:) 
Try to spot a shadow. 
Marina Bay lights. I read in the papers that people preferred the lights at Marina Bay. I've been to Orchard myself and I also do prefer MArina Bay's lights too. Orchard's somewhat a little sparse. Nothing special. 
At Raffles City Shopping Centre. Bb holding my clutch. 
My muscle man (MMM)! MMM... tasty! 
I told Bb I wanna go Orchard to take Xmas pics. He said "Again?" I told him, it's Orchard, not again. Lol... Next, on 15 November, we went to Kbox with his family to celebrate his sister's birthday. The pictures below were taken using a professional camera. Again, we are at Marina Square. 
I love bb in this picture. So cute! 
Monster Man. (MM) 
Sole attraction in this pic is bb's daddy. Check out his glasses. Lol... 
I think bb looks like Astro Boy. Cos he has big eyes, spikey hair, and most importantly, cute too! Most guys I know hates to be called cute, but bb is different. 
Oh, which reminded me, we caught Astro Boy with Dominic and his wife. We got the tix free cos Dom have one pair extra. Hehe....... 
Ok, switch off time. Bleahz..... A family pic at last. I'm the photographer. Not bad la, using the pro camera. A man was standing on the left so I was trying not to capture that man into the picture. Not because I cannot focus. 
Looks familiar? This is day time. 
An artsy shot. Us in the lift. 
End of family day. Last but not least, don't get tired of seeing me ok. I managed to blog today cos I went home early and even had time to take some pics of myself. It's been a long long time since I had a narcissistic day. Heh... Enjoy~ 
 
Trying out different tones. 
Couldn't resist but to take a pic of St. Regis invitation card. Looking forward to that day. 
End of Sunday and end of a super long post. Time to watch Victoria's Secret fashion show. :) | | |
| All things are in place, and I'm so so happy lately. Been pretty busy also, be it work and abit of social stuffs, just feel blissful. My baybee has also been ultra sweet these days, though we do have abit of unhappiness here and there, nothing major that can't be solved. Upcoming, December, the month of giving! It's Christmas! And this year is even more unique because I have two red bombs too. Lol... In time to come, I hope to give out the red bomb to people as well. Haha! Right now, it's money flowing out first. Usually, to me wedding dinners are occassions to celebrate two people's union. If you were to ask me, sometimes it's just going for the sake of going you know. You may not even know or perhaps close to the person at all. However, they call this 'show face'. Anyhow, I'm particularly excited about the upcoming one cos it's gonna be at St. Regis, one of Singapore's most prestigious hotel! I've never been there, that's why I'm looking forward to it as well. I found this from St. Regis website, looks good. Pic courtesy of St. Regis.  The next thing to look forward to is my baybee's birthday, which falls on Xmas eve. Then it's Christmas and hola, our anniversary. Oh, and my mom's birthday. Tell me, is December making me broke? I think so! I had to spoil the surprise for my bb cos it clashes with our church service and I had to work out details with him, Nonetheless, I hope he is happy with this arrangement. We are going to....................... AMARA SANCTUARY RESORT SENTOSA! Total coolness. Our stay is going to be on Xmas eve & Xmas day. So happy! Check out the pics, courtesy of Amara's website. Beautiful. 
I can't wait for this Christmas to come. Heh... We've also booked our flight to Bangkok for next year, after our running for what we call in the company, 'banding'. Kuku bb happily booked our flight right in the middle of the period he is supposed to go for reservist. Fortunately we are able to change the date. Lastly, I just came back from an appointment. Really feel blessed to have met some angels in my course of career. I'm really touched when Bun go almost all out to help me reach my MDRT, even though he doesn't know what it is nor does it benefit him in any sense, but he is just willing to help. He also knows I like the strudel that's near my office, so he bought it specially for me too when I met him and his friend just now. Such a sweet friend with no agenda (I need to stress this :P). Ok, perhaps his only agenda is for me to bring him to some fine dining restaurant. I'm more than willing. So I shall plan for it too. Pic courtesy of Ritz Apple Strudel. He bought the strawberry one. Nice. My whole family gets to eat it too. It's huge. 
The strudel pic is making me feel hungry. Lol... Ok, sorry for the lack of updates lately. Been kinda tired. I have some pics that I'm all ready to upload, so bear with me for a while. December should be a slack month. We are shifting office, and closing shop for the year. I'm getting my Personal Assistant to help me clear some administrative stuffs as well. Did I mention I will be getting a private space of my own in my office? No more hot desking area for me. Hahah... Upgrade, upgrade. All is good! Good night! Hugs :) | | |
