:: Life without Jim Jim - Day 14 ::

Just 1 more day and my Jim Jim is flying back. woohoo...

Went DFS earlier with Calisa and Kristie, mad sale going on! I was so tempted to get this new Burberry bag but it cost $2,300! Nah, I'm still going for my LV.

Calisa got a coin pouch from Coach as a b'dae present for someone and Kristie was literally shopping like a tai-tai. She got herself a Coach full leather bag (but that was a good buy, orginally $800++ and after all the discount, she paid only $300++), a Coach wristlet for only $70++ and a Salvatore Ferragamo wallet for $300++ too.

Can't you see I'm trying very hard to resist the temptation..
I'm going DFS with Mommy again on Monday, maybe I'll get something?

:: Indulge Indulgz ::

It's time for some yummy food. Mel, Jerlyn and I decided to go to Indulgz Bistro and indulge in their yummy food. There isn't too much of a crowd when we arrive at around 7.30 on a mid-week evening.

There we were sitted comfortably on the plushy 4-seater Booth Seats cushioned in maroon seating looking at the menu and we found out that we are all so hungry we could almost eat a cow each. So we decided to order 2 soups, 2 starters, 3 main course and 1 dessert! Sorry folks, but we didn't take any pictures cos we were too hungry that start attacking the food the minute it is being served.

Let's start with the soup.

Wild Crabmeat & Fresh Thyme Soup - The soup taste rich and creamy and you get lots of crabmeat in it. Yummilicious!

Wholesome Seafood & Wolfberries Broth - No doubt, this is a broth. It's clear and looks every bit like our chinese double-boiled soup except that this has got a very strong seafood taste. Not really to my liking, I'll stick to my traditional chinese double-boiled soup.

Spicy Chicken Bolognaise Melted Cheese Fries - This dish is perfect. With the melted cheese covering almost every single piece of fries, this is something not to be missed. If you are not a spicy person, there's Chicken Bolognaise Melted Cheese Fries for you too.

Battered Egg-Tofu with Tabasco Lemon Mayo - The egg-tofu may taste a bit bland and plain but pair it with the unique Tabasco Lemon Mayo, all you get is the oomph factor. I think I like the sauce so much that I almost eat it on its own.

Fresh Seafood Platter with White Pepper Sauce for 1 - This seafood platter comes with raisins butter rice, 1 whole slipper lobster, 1 large tiger prawn, 2 mussels and 2 gratinated scallops & mozzarella cheese. The raisins butter rice is a tad too bland, the mussels and scallops are fresh but the tiger prawn has a very strong smell, too strong for me to take it. Didn't try the slipper lobster though.

Char-grilled Ribeye Steak - I requested it medium well and it was perfect done to what I expected. With their homemade Duxcelle (mixture of mushrooms) Red Wine sauce, this is a dish not to be missed!

Slipper lobster & Wild Creabmeat Pasta (Cream) - Indulgz only serves linguine but they do their pasta perfect. The wild crabmeat sauce taste similar to the Wild Crabmeat with fresh thyme soup, but I like it.

Belgium Waffles with Vanilla Ice-cream & Peaches - 3 pieces of warm Belgium Waffles served with smooth vanilla ice-cream, cubed peaches & a drizzle of chocolate fudge. The waffles have a sugarey feel and taste perfect when pair with the smooth vanilla ice-cream.

By the time we finish everything, we can almost feel our tummy bursting out. The food is good, but the ambience is better. Great place for dinner with a few close friends or even a romantic night with your love ones.

:: Life without Jim Jim - Day 09 ::

I seriously do not understand the meaning of coming to work on alternate saturday. You see, you spend 45mins to an hour journey just to reach the office and having to just surf the net, read the newspapers, eat your brunch and it's already 1pm. Anyway, I went to FF today and spend a good 1.5 hours giving my body the much needed work out. Feel so sluggish the whole week and that 1.5 hours prove to a good workout as my body is aching terribly.

Jim Jim is coming home soon.

:: I am the Devil::

Saw this on a friend's blog.

What Tarot card are you?

You are The Devil

Materiality. Material Force. Material temptation; sometimes obsession

The Devil is often a great card for business success; hard work and ambition.

Perhaps the most misunderstood of all the major arcana, the Devil is not really "Satan" at all, but Pan the half-goat nature god and/or Dionysius. These are gods of pleasure and abandon, of wild behavior and unbridled desires. This is a card about ambitions; it is also synonymous with temptation and addiction. On the flip side, however, the card can be a warning to someone who is too restrained, someone who never allows themselves to get passionate or messy or wild - or ambitious. This, too, is a form of enslavement. As a person, the Devil can stand for a man of money or erotic power, aggressive, controlling, or just persuasive. This is not to say a bad man, but certainly a powerful man who is hard to resist. The important thing is to remember that any chain is freely worn. In most cases, you are enslaved only because you allow it.

:: Life without Jim Jim - Day 06 ::

Cloudy

My mood isn't realli like the overcast sky outside. I'm feeling chirpy and anything except gloomy. Saw an email that says wat kind of birthday pest I am.

I am a SLUG. So what does this means?

July 01 - 09 ~ Slug
If you are a Slug: Always up to some sort of a mischief! The mischievous gleam in your eyes is what makes you so cute and attractive to everyone. You are an extremely fun-to-be-with kind of person. No wonder people seek for your company and look forward to include you for all get-together's. However, you are sensitive which is a drawback. People need to select their words while talking to you.. If someone tries to fiddle around and play with words while dealing with you, it is enough to invite your wrath.
God bless the person then!

See, better watch ur words when u are talking to me for I may devour you.

Received a few nuisance call earlier in the evening. Whoever you are, stop making nuisance call. Get a life!

:: Life without Jim Jim - Day 05 ::

5th day without Jim Jim, I've more or less got used to it. Everyday life for me is work work and more work. I'm drowning under my pile of work everyday. Endless meetings, un-finished work. As I'm typing this, I'm still in the office...

I've got Jim Jim a SURPRISE today. Let's see how he'll react.

Counting down the days - 10

:: Life without Jim Jim - Day 04 ::

Start of a new working week. I've got the "You got a problem" look on my face but who cares. It's only Day 04! Time is passing way to slow. Jim Jim, come back soon...

:: Life without Jim Jim - Day 03 ::

It's been 3 days since Jim Jim left for China. Boring boring weekend. Jim Jim called this morning while I am still enjoying my beauty sleep. Briefly chat with him cos he need to go for breakfast and will be going to Dream Island (somewhat like our Sim Lim Sq and Funan Centre). I'm going to bring Jand Jand for her grooming session later on, maybe she's going to transform into a piglet later?

UPDATES:
Jand Jand did not transform into a piglet. The groomer says her hair is too short and shouldn't shave down. Anyway she looks way too adorable earlier at the grooming centre. People commented: "look at that chihuahua, so cute!" NO! She's not a chihuahua, she is a MINIATURE PINSCHER! Look at my lips and repeat after me MINI PINSCHER! Stop saying she's a chihuahua, she looks way cuter then chihuahua alright.

Jim Jim called again just now and told me he have got a surprise for me. I wonder what it is???

:: Life without Jim Jim - Day 02 ::

Boring Saturday.. It's my shift for the week again and well, I seriously think it is a waste of time to come in on Saturday. Anyway I'm going for my manicure session later. I miss my Jim Jim...

:: Life without Jim Jim - Day 01 ::

Sunny Day

Jim Jim flew off early this morning. Didn't get to send him off cos his flight is 7.45am, and I've got to work today. Anyway, this is his 4th time to Wuxi, China but I still feel sad and lonely, especially since there'll be 2 weekends without him.

He finally arrived in China at 4 plus and poor him have to go straight to the office.
Anyway, he says he'll be calling me later... No plans for the night, going home straight...

This have to be my latest on my wishlist.

Allow me to present you: Samsung Omnia i900.





I wanna be a road warrior!

:: Dying..... From Boredom ::

I'm bored. Bored to death. I've got things to do but I dunno where to start. It's Friday, I'm in one of my Friday mood where my mind tells me to stop working cos it wun get me anywhere working on the pile of endless job...

:: Sour-ed Relationship ::

I'm sick of coming to work at times. Because I know that everytime I come to work, it means "war time". Initially it means going to "war" with the new eCom Technical Manager aka SD and I find it challenging to be fighting a cock-eyed bull. But recently, it's not just him but the whole technical team. They started to play "politics" with us. They make it seems like they can't wait to see us die and rot in this department. To me, we won't die because of some politics but find it more challenging to fight it on. But this morning something happen that makes me feel very dishearten. The only kind soul in technical team is changing... Maybe I've never know him well at all. Maybe, too many maybe... It all started with a packet of tapioca chip. Childish it seems to be but that's them.

An email was send to us:
Subject: Why did you finish the tapioca whithout leaving some for us?
Content: Hi, Just to tell you that in future, please leave some for us. All of us here at IT Support have not tasted it at all. I brought it back for all to share but I didn't expect all of you to finish it up without leaving some for us.

Skype message:
Me: sorry abt the tapioca thingy...

Z:Yesterday, before XXX go to Suntec, he want to eat the tapioca but he later change his mind and said that he will eat it when he comes back. I know you all are hungry, that was why I pass to YYY when she ask if there is anything to eat, but what I don't anticipate is that you all finished it without even having any thought for us. It hurts me more than XXX when he came back to eat but found out that it was already finish. When I bought it in Malaysia, I always have XXX in mind when I picked up the Tapioca from the shelf..because I know he like this tapioca very much.

Me: i'm realli sorry cos i didn't know any of this thing

Z: Anyway, it is already done. It is ok. Just let the matter rest. I write you all the email just to let you know so that it will never happen again. In this world, it is not only you and me but there are others as well, so we should adopt sharing culture especially in this office. We want to work in a happy environment and as much as possible, we would like to share everything. Anyway, let bygone be bygone. No big deal. I will try to get something similar for XXX later on.

Me: i will ask YYY to buy similar chips when she goes back to malaysia this weekend.. and we realli did not know that some of you haven had tat chips

Z: No... it is ok. Don't need. I will get it for him later during lunch time.

Yes, it's just a packet of Tapioca chips but what saddens me is that we are trying to work in a happy environment but is anyone in the technical team doing the same thing as they preach.
