    <content type="html">Just refuse to blog. &lt;br /&gt;The long weekend has been packed with all sort of activities you can think of. &lt;br /&gt;Movie, catching up with the folks, prawning (&lt;em&gt;yes, prawning, had never tried that before!), &lt;/em&gt;shopping, trying out new dining places... &lt;br /&gt;Didnt even sleep late these days, wanting to head out as soon as we can! &lt;br /&gt;And we have enjoy ourselves &lt;strong&gt;really really &lt;/strong&gt;much. (&lt;em&gt;Except for the disappointment with Kitty Lab.) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;Hey Jac, i did popped by expo today bright and early armed with my cam, but the ticketing officer still said no to photo taking inside... &lt;br /&gt;Tragedy isnt it? And so manage to console myself with more shopping at JL. &lt;br /&gt;The man didnt even grumble one bit! &lt;br /&gt;He will rather have me shopping for clothes! And he promise the trip to &lt;a href="http://www.puroland.co.jp/english/welcome.html"&gt;Puroland &lt;/a&gt;soon! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was hopping around like a mad old lady on Thursday. Coz, it was officially the last day of school. &lt;br /&gt;No more waking up at 7am to reach school at 8am. And our school newsletter team wins ourselves the OCA this year! Hooray! &lt;br /&gt;Was helping Nura with her spring-cleaning of her workstation when some of the colleagues started singing her the birthday song. &lt;br /&gt;Goodness me! I wasnt even aware its her 29th birthday. Was so guilty that i had asked my RO for timeoff to head out so as to get the gal a tiny cake. The rest of the day was spent catching up with the gals, no more spring-cleaning. Oops. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center"&gt;&lt;img alt="" width="340" height="255" src="http://i124.photobucket.com/albums/p5/samantha_evons/P261109_1558.jpg" /&gt;&lt;img alt="" width="340" src="http://i124.photobucket.com/albums/p5/samantha_evons/P261109_1600.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small"&gt;The birthday gal; taking pictures with some of the skinniest people around is really no fun!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That nite, instead of catching up on the beauty sleep, (&lt;em&gt;check out my panda eyes!&lt;/em&gt;), i had made HB drove us to GV Grand. &lt;br /&gt;New Moon New Moon New Moon! The &lt;a href="http://www.newmoonthemovie.com"&gt;movie &lt;/a&gt;is anything i expected, (&lt;em&gt;boring&lt;/em&gt;, that is coz the book itself is the least fav of my installments) but both of us have a great time popping popcorn and checking out Jacob, my all time fav character! And i do appreciate the fact that the movie follows the book really closely. Now i cant wait for 'eclipse' to be release on the &lt;strong&gt;30th June 2010&lt;/strong&gt;, at least i dun have to wait for another year! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mom needed to work OT on Haji and so HB and i decided to spring a surprise on pop when we dropped by in the evening with Yoshinoya takeaway and his fav durian puffs &lt;br /&gt;And this is when the Dare comes in; that is &lt;strong&gt;IF &lt;/strong&gt;i am able to catch Philip's chinchilla and pass it to HB, he will get me the Chanel cambon im eying on for the loooongest time. And so! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center"&gt;&lt;img alt="" width="180" height="240" src="http://i124.photobucket.com/albums/p5/samantha_evons/P271109_2238.jpg" /&gt;&lt;img alt="" width="320" height="240" src="http://i124.photobucket.com/albums/p5/samantha_evons/SNC00227.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small"&gt;as the saying goes: never dare a woman; especially when its for something she wants...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And oh, we bought a new figurine for the coming Xmas from Jessie as well.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center"&gt;&lt;img alt="" width="480" height="360" src="http://i124.photobucket.com/albums/p5/samantha_evons/P271109_2351_01.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small"&gt;our love makes a lasting impression #910065 number 1816 out of 5000&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Part 2 coming up next, before the sleepy bugs kick in!</content>

    <content type="html">Simply because its a bad bad day to just stay indoor and do nothing. &lt;br /&gt;Besides, today's Retreat session ended an hour earlier. Holly Molly! &lt;br /&gt;Too good to be true isnt it? lol. &lt;br /&gt;And so, headed quickly to CWP, wanting to get the pressie on behalf of the sch for the VP. &lt;br /&gt;We sure will miss him. A few of us were even rounded up to do an impromptu farewell speech by the poolside during lunch time. &lt;br /&gt;Seriously, i hope they will have it shown to the rest of us tomorrow. I bet i look ridiculous with all my hand actions and funny tone of speech! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;(And Sarah, thanks for ensuring me over and over again about the FAT's issue. I will survive! Thanks love!) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;Up next: Photologs will dominate the rest of my entry! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt="" width="340" src="http://i124.photobucket.com/albums/p5/samantha_evons/P231109_1414.jpg" /&gt;&lt;img alt="" width="340" src="http://i124.photobucket.com/albums/p5/samantha_evons/P231109_1025.jpg" /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small"&gt;nibbling on chocolates to keep oneself awake; thats wee kiat, who had taken a better pic of me using his iphone&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt="" width="340" src="http://i124.photobucket.com/albums/p5/samantha_evons/P231109_2029_01.jpg" /&gt;&lt;img alt="" width="340" src="http://i124.photobucket.com/albums/p5/samantha_evons/P231109_2030.jpg" /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small"&gt;and so i came home and practiced on the man; am bringing it along for tomorrow's session&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt="" width="340" src="http://i124.photobucket.com/albums/p5/samantha_evons/P231109_2035_01.jpg" /&gt;&lt;img alt="" width="340" src="http://i124.photobucket.com/albums/p5/samantha_evons/P231109_2047_01.jpg" /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: smaller"&gt;the pendant given by the school for my 5 years of service coincide with the bracelet the late granny-in-law had given me during my wedding; &lt;br /&gt;more reason to wear them as a set one day.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Had also bought 2 books for the hols, an &lt;u&gt;ultra &lt;/u&gt;huge hair craw so that i wont risk misplacing it again, and this really cool skull imprint stole. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt="" width="340" src="http://i124.photobucket.com/albums/p5/samantha_evons/P231109_2042.jpg" /&gt;&lt;img alt="" width="340" src="http://i124.photobucket.com/albums/p5/samantha_evons/P231109_2032.jpg" /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small"&gt;Last stop before heading home: Collection of my babies at Goldheart.

    <content type="html">I love Muji. &lt;br /&gt;Love them. Love Them. love them. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;tale capolavoro adorante&lt;/em&gt; &lt;br /&gt;They have so many stuff i swear by.&lt;br /&gt;And who can say no to their eyelash curler?! &lt;br /&gt;Though i was super tired from work, we were at Marina Sq this afternoon, soaking in the coming Xmas spirit. &lt;br /&gt;Popped in their outlet to grab some sweet for the colleagues who volunteered their help that the other day. &lt;br /&gt;&amp;quot;Lunner&amp;quot; was at Cafe Cartel. Super yummy, or is it because its a beautiful day? Hmmm.... &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center"&gt;&lt;img alt="" width="420" height="315" src="http://i124.photobucket.com/albums/p5/samantha_evons/P211109_1543.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small"&gt;ELF eyeshadow cream in Oliver, sheer enough for daily look &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center"&gt;&lt;img alt="" width="340" height="255" src="http://i124.photobucket.com/albums/p5/samantha_evons/P211109_1721.jpg" /&gt;&lt;img alt="" width="340" height="255" src="http://i124.photobucket.com/albums/p5/samantha_evons/P211109_1722_01.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center"&gt;&lt;img alt="" width="340" height="255" src="http://i124.photobucket.com/albums/p5/samantha_evons/P211109_1726.jpg" /&gt;&lt;img alt="" width="340" height="255" src="http://i124.photobucket.com/albums/p5/samantha_evons/P211109_1727.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small"&gt;the poor man was so hungry with no food the entire morning while i reported back for work&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center"&gt;&lt;img alt="" width="420" height="315" src="http://i124.photobucket.com/albums/p5/samantha_evons/P211109_2205.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small"&gt;and the SA was so sweet to pack all my goodies in this santa looking eco bag!&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt="" width="340" height="255" src="http://i124.photobucket.com/albums/p5/samantha_evons/P211109_2206.jpg" /&gt;&lt;img alt="" width="340" src="http://i124.photobucket.com/albums/p5/samantha_evons/P211109_2206_01.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small"&gt;im so addicted to their xmas city line, and this london hanky will come in handy the time we visit London again!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content>

    <content type="html">To &lt;span style="font-size: large"&gt;rock &lt;/span&gt;the world after suffering from one week of blogging itch. LOL. &lt;br /&gt;Exam is over, been there, done it. &lt;br /&gt;Arent going to cry buckets for mistaking this particular female SIN poet as a Malaysia poet. &lt;br /&gt;Duh... Just leme clear this! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center"&gt;&lt;img alt="" width="240" height="320" src="http://i124.photobucket.com/albums/p5/samantha_evons/P181109_1753.jpg" /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small"&gt;even wore my fav jumper for extra luck&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left"&gt;Before i could even mop over the stupidness / carelessness, its back to work. &lt;br /&gt;Reception team, annual dinner and dance. &lt;br /&gt;Woh, all within a day, u say it again. &lt;br /&gt;Seriously. But its fun. &lt;br /&gt;And terribly satisfying now that everything has ended beautifully. &lt;br /&gt;The HB took me to Melting Pot for dinner on Thursday nite. To size up the car park, the man said. &lt;br /&gt;But secretly, i think he just wanted us to have a post exam dinner celebration, &lt;em&gt;Heh heh &lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt="" width="340" height="255" src="http://i124.photobucket.com/albums/p5/samantha_evons/SNC00219.jpg" /&gt;&lt;img alt="" width="340" src="http://i124.photobucket.com/albums/p5/samantha_evons/SNC00218.jpg" /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small"&gt;with the man i love so mwah&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Food selection is really so so. No food pictures as we didnt eat much. &lt;br /&gt;While the HB enjoyed his, i spent mine replying SMS to the hotel's operation manager. &lt;br /&gt;Lovely guy, who even got me a front carpark lot when the topic of my lousy parking skill came out. &lt;br /&gt;No joke. Im off big time in small diminutive underground carparks. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, frontal service is good at MPC, but the waitress served me the wrong tea instead of Earl Grey. &lt;br /&gt;I must really look stress out! &lt;em&gt;Hah! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt="" width="340" src="http://i124.photobucket.com/albums/p5/samantha_evons/P191109_2014.jpg" /&gt;&lt;img alt="" width="340" src="http://i124.photobucket.com/albums/p5/samantha_evons/P191109_2019.jpg" /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small"&gt;Bright yellow Chamomile instead grey earl grey label? I have no idea whats in this cake, but the tangy burst are so unforgettable!&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Had worked more than 14 hours on Friday. Wanted to catch some winky over at pop's before setting off for the hotel. &lt;br /&gt;But the short afternoon was spent bitching with the folks. &lt;em&gt;Grin&lt;/em&gt;, we are having dinner tomorrow nite, Philip's treat! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The whole group of us left the school at 4pm, reaching the place at perfect time. &lt;br /&gt;Didnt park at the promised lot as the colleagues' cars were right behind. &lt;br /&gt;Had went into the carpark crossing my toes secretly i wont injure Lace. &lt;br /&gt;The gals who were with me gave me much confidence. I even managed to park on a &amp;quot;humpy&amp;quot; lot. &lt;br /&gt;And when the manager called mentioning he had spotted my car at the underground car park, I am so proud of myself! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thanks to colleagues who offered their extra help, everything was done and ready before 7pm. &lt;br /&gt;(Photos coming up next!) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt="" width="340" height="255" src="http://i124.photobucket.com/albums/p5/samantha_evons/P201109_1642_01.jpg" /&gt;&lt;img alt="" width="340" src="http://i124.photobucket.com/albums/p5/samantha_evons/P201109_1817.jpg" /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small"&gt;Million thanks to Oliver and Ivan of Holiday Inn Atrium, we managed to snag lovely grey table cloths that match this year's theme: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small"&gt;A Black and White Affair&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt="" width="340" src="http://i124.photobucket.com/albums/p5/samantha_evons/P201109_1701.jpg" /&gt;&lt;img alt="" width="340" src="http://i124.photobucket.com/albums/p5/samantha_evons/P201109_1700.jpg" /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small"&gt;while everybody were hard at work, thanks peeps! All 188 bottle done in the midst of laughter from 12 super nice people &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center"&gt;&lt;img alt="" width="420" height="315" src="http://i124.photobucket.com/albums/p5/samantha_evons/P211109_1513.jpg" /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small"&gt;The doorgift for all, (matches my kitchen tiles so much!) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: medium"&gt;And i won a $50 Isetan shopping voucher!

    <content type="html">I got my pedicure done on Tuesday since its marking day and all of us worked from 8am to 4pm. &lt;br /&gt;Had to have them done this week somehow, coz i will never have the luxury for that come next week. Am crossing my eyes that they will last till next Friday for the D&amp;amp;D. &lt;br /&gt;Its exam first, follow by the prize giving and before i know it, the day is here. &lt;br /&gt;Period. &lt;br /&gt;Anywho, the pedicure session was well spent replying SMS to colleagues tying up the loose ends... &lt;br /&gt;Imagine sending 45 SMS messages within the 1 hour and 15minutes? Pretty impressive i must say! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center"&gt;&lt;img alt="" width="340" height="255" src="http://i124.photobucket.com/albums/p5/samantha_evons/P101109_2042.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color: #993300"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small"&gt;Bastille My Heart &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small"&gt;from OPI, i wish my toe nails are longer; anyway, did u spot something really depressing in the picture?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Visited &lt;a href="http://www.mustafa.com.sg/index.asp"&gt;Mustafa &lt;/a&gt;like finally this evening. Have never ever been there before in my last 29 years of life. &lt;br /&gt;Today seems like a perfect time since the HB wanted some hot pipping food for dinner. &lt;br /&gt;We decided on Seoul Garden and remembered vividly that there is an outlet at City Square Mall. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To sidetrack abit, the outlet is having 1 for 1 on weekdays besides Friday(&lt;em&gt;though&lt;/em&gt;), so drop by for fab service. &lt;br /&gt;At least i did! Attractive servers, charming waiter who topped up drinks so often i lose count...&lt;br /&gt;Its been yorks since we visit the restaurant, i think the last time we ate there was like 5 years ago? I have no idea about the other outlets, but this one works pretty much like Sakae Sushi; click and the staffs will bring over your food. Their mixed berry and oreo vanilla with nata de coco ice cream are yummy. U should give it a try. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh right, back to the trip to Mustafa. The place is huge, and honestly, it isnt as bad as i thought. &lt;br /&gt;I would have love to shop alittle longer if not of the rain. &lt;br /&gt;(We took advantage of the free parking redemption at City Square and decided to walk there instead) &lt;br /&gt;There are so many things to see and check out. I am so amaze by the way the cashiers keep the money in their drawer. &lt;br /&gt;So retro, so unseen these days in SIN! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt="" width="340" height="255" src="http://i124.photobucket.com/albums/p5/samantha_evons/SNC00203.jpg" /&gt;&lt;img alt="" width="340" src="http://i124.photobucket.com/albums/p5/samantha_evons/SNC00204.jpg" /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small"&gt;i could barely open my eyes after a week of tough work; the interior decor is so different from what the memory serves us&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt="" width="340" height="255" src="http://i124.photobucket.com/albums/p5/samantha_evons/SNC00205.jpg" /&gt;&lt;img alt="" width="340" src="http://i124.photobucket.com/albums/p5/samantha_evons/SNC00207.jpg" /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small"&gt;flushed after all the bbq-ing; there's a halo above my head &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center"&gt;&lt;img alt="" width="340" src="http://i124.photobucket.com/albums/p5/samantha_evons/SNC00211.jpg" /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small"&gt;thanks to a blog friend, i found the shoes im super smitten to that actually flatters my ankles &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt="" width="191" height="255" src="http://i124.photobucket.com/albums/p5/samantha_evons/SNC00196.jpg" /&gt;&lt;img alt="" width="340" height="255" src="http://i124.photobucket.com/albums/p5/samantha_evons/SNC00197.jpg" /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small"&gt;its &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://kindness.sg/?q=worldkindnessday"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small"&gt;world kindness day&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small"&gt;, and HB receives 2 gerbera daisies &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/div&gt;</content>

    <content type="html">For i have been sitting at the same spot in the living room since noon this morning; typing . &lt;br /&gt;U bet, no breakie at all coz the man was out even before i woke up this morning at elevenish. &lt;br /&gt;Food was instant noodle and the apple crumble we bought yesterday at carrefour. &lt;br /&gt;I hardly wakes up without the man watching the telly besides me, but he was up and out early today coz he was planning something really sneaky. &lt;br /&gt;Hence, no food, no HB, no cheer for the whole of the sunday. &lt;br /&gt;Except for the yelling&lt;strong&gt;S&lt;/strong&gt; from the irritating neighbor next door. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Am finally done with the 2 reports i have been brushing off for the whole of this weekend. &lt;br /&gt;Its tedious work and when the HB suggested me doing them on Friday nite,&amp;nbsp;moi declined flatly. &lt;br /&gt;I so deserve to just park myself in front of my current read then. &lt;br /&gt;Not to mention the final paper which is coming up the Wed after this. &lt;br /&gt;Plans were to start 'flipping' alittle this weekend, but i didnt even have the time to iron the man's shirts! &lt;br /&gt;Fortunately he has a full month supply to get him going. &lt;br /&gt;I will iron next Sat and starts the revision on Sun. I promise. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Alrighty, enough of ranting from the silly old woman. &lt;br /&gt;So what is this sneaky project the man was undertaking?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt="" width="340" height="255" src="http://i124.photobucket.com/albums/p5/samantha_evons/SNC00189.jpg" /&gt;&lt;img alt="" width="340" height="255" src="http://i124.photobucket.com/albums/p5/samantha_evons/SNC00190.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small"&gt;the before&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt="" width="340" src="http://i124.photobucket.com/albums/p5/samantha_evons/SNC00192.jpg" /&gt;&lt;img alt="" width="340" src="http://i124.photobucket.com/albums/p5/samantha_evons/SNC00191.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small"&gt;and the after; see how dark outside was after Lance is finally done up?!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small"&gt;So there, weekend gone with the wind.&lt;br /&gt;We only have a meal today, and thats the packed rice the man bought when he was on his way home.&lt;br /&gt;U&amp;nbsp;tell me, why am i still so fat?!&lt;/span&gt;</content>

I say i will give it a 2.5 out of 5, really.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We had a simple dinner at Lerk Thai Marina Square this evening.&lt;br /&gt;Im trying to keep to my resolution of blogging less on food since even the face seems rounder and fuller these days.&lt;br /&gt;But i simply have to blog about this particular staff from L.T.&lt;br /&gt;We have always enjoying dining at this particular Thai chain. Staffs are always attentive and polite, maybe its just how they treat one another back in their own country. The one who was leading us to our place was all lovely and pleasant. But i cant say the same to the one who took our order.&lt;br /&gt;Upon hearing we are sharing our orders, he had asked rather loudly do we need extra plates for them.&lt;br /&gt;Be it sensitive or whatever, i dun see the need for him to repeat the sentence &amp;quot;Do u need extra plates since you are sharing your food&amp;quot;&amp;nbsp;at two occasions. (&lt;em&gt;roll my eyes&lt;/em&gt;) I mean we already had an empty plate each.&lt;br /&gt;Anyway maybe im too passive... Or i should have say yes to the request...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A older Caucasian couple came in asking for a window seat when its packed with diners. However none is available. Can u imagine the same staff walking to yet another couple and&amp;nbsp;requested&amp;nbsp;them to give out their&amp;nbsp;window seats?!&lt;br /&gt;The HB was saying that if&amp;nbsp;a similar situation happens to us, he will have walk out&amp;nbsp;of the place immediately. I guess the&amp;nbsp;young couple is simply too kind hearted. If not of their lemon glass drink which resembles mum's,&amp;nbsp;i will not bear with this either!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt="" width="340" height="255" src="http://i124.photobucket.com/albums/p5/samantha_evons/SNC001751.jpg" /&gt;&lt;img alt="" width="340" src="http://i124.photobucket.com/albums/p5/samantha_evons/SNC001791.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small"&gt;we didnt opt for a window seat, prefering having&amp;nbsp;a cosy cushion corner; all&amp;nbsp;time must order: Seafood papaya salad&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt="" width="340" src="http://i124.photobucket.com/albums/p5/samantha_evons/SNC00181.jpg" /&gt;&lt;img alt="" width="340" src="http://i124.photobucket.com/albums/p5/samantha_evons/SNC00182.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small"&gt;we&amp;nbsp;were sharing these, and its when the staff started to be rude&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt="" width="340" height="255" src="http://i124.photobucket.com/albums/p5/samantha_evons/SNC00183.jpg" /&gt;&lt;img alt="" width="340" height="255" src="http://i124.photobucket.com/albums/p5/samantha_evons/SNC00184.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small"&gt;delicious bee hoon and 6 pcs tago&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: center"&gt;&lt;img alt="" width="520" height="390" src="http://i124.photobucket.com/albums/p5/samantha_evons/SNC00186.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small"&gt;i look tired with no makeup on&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: left"&gt;Actually we were out xmas tree shopping. IKEA&amp;nbsp;has some lovely live ones which will be really difficult to get rid of after the festive season. Had wanted to check out the ones in Carrefour, but they arent catching the man's attention. We ended up going home with no Xmas tree; but a new head gear for my coming D&amp;amp;D.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt="" width="340" height="255" src="http://i124.photobucket.com/albums/p5/samantha_evons/P071109_2132_01.jpg" /&gt;&lt;img alt="" width="340" src="http://i124.photobucket.com/albums/p5/samantha_evons/P071109_2138.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small"&gt;i hope this will look good for the event; posing with my newest love! Isnt she yummy?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Speaking of which, outfit for today was this long jersey dress i bought awhile but didnt have the chance to wear as yet. Because of this spidery coweb straps in front which totally spolit the look, i have them sewn together while the man was getting ready.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt="" width="340" src="http://i124.photobucket.com/albums/p5/samantha_evons/P071109_1653_02.jpg" /&gt;&lt;img alt="" width="340" src="http://i124.photobucket.com/albums/p5/samantha_evons/P071109_1708.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small"&gt;the before and after&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: center"&gt;&lt;img alt="" width="520" height="390" src="http://i124.photobucket.com/albums/p5/samantha_evons/P071109_2052_02.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small"&gt;am counting down to xmas!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</content>
