Wedding dress search 2006

Tired and totally drained at 10.06pm in the evening at Inoriz mum's place. It has been a whole day of walking around in heels in search for all the bridal stuff for her wedding. It's a real bummer that we do not have a car that we can drive around in. We had to take the bus around to our destinations that really took up a lot of the time.

Mum found this excellent bridal shop who had such a nice lady boss who was willing to fit whatever we needed into the budget that we required. So this is the deal that we got: -

1 wedding gown
1 bridesmaid gown
2 day make up for Inoriz and me
2 hairdos for Inoriz and me
1 Bridal car deco

Total: a smashin price of 750 quid!!

Amazing! Although the lady boss was a little pushy on asking us to put down a deposit (as all of them do), her customer service and friennly disposition did not waiver even when Inoriz told her that she was not likely to put a deposit down today. In fact she still brought us up to the second level where there was a whole array of bridal gowns to choose from! She threw in a complimentary bridesmaid gown just for me with no extra charge man! Where can you find such good deals man? If you were to go to any other shops in tnajong pagar or IMM the gown alone would cost you at least 1K!

Inoriz wants to use the com.. bye *gets booted out of chair*

Back to School for Julz

It's the end of another week. A full week that I have been home since Inoriz came home. I start school on Tuesday next week. I was once ready and all geared up to start studying again and to do my best. But all the emotional turmoil that I have been through these past few months makes it really hard to climb back out of the hole that I've fell into. I'm unstable again. Went back to mutilation once this week which helped a little. LeeK cancelled on me twice this week at last minute notice, without giving an explanation or reason. On the last cancellation, I was totally ticked off. I understand if you have your own commitments, but at least have the decency to call or msg a sincere apology. I am not someone who is going to be at your back and call.

Received a message from him yesterday about wanting to make it up to me this monday. I thought long and hard about it. School starts on Tuesday for me and I am not going to f*** it up and hit the lecture hall all sleepy and tired the next day. So I turned him down. Rejection. It feels great to reject someone when you are upset with them. Sort of a tit for tat kinda situation.

Went to Inoriz mum's place yesterday and learnt how to cook fish porridge! After dinner we sat down to talk about Inoriz marraige plans as well as her academic plans which she hopes to get funding for. Lulu has a piano recital in school this wednesday. That girl is awesome. She has barely gotten her grade 2 and she can play a grade 8 piece with such ease! I really admire her. There's a child prodigy right there. I did her hair for her and tried out Inoriz wedding hairdo as well. I love doing elegant hairdos for my friends. I have always been very amazed with the different styles that hairstylists come up with for their clients as well as the exorbident prices that one has to pay to get it done.

I hope to be able to master more styles so maybe next time I can do budget hair and make up services for teens prom night for the extra cash during my free time.

Inoriz is back!

It was a mad rush in the morning to get all my stuff packed into my blue duffel bag. After "sectioning the clothes to the left side of the bag to cushion my toiletries, I had just enough room to force my baby pillow and my stuffed piggy into the bag. (Almost had to sit on the bag to zip it close) Dad came to pick me up from work and we drove back to her place to pick up all my belongings. I have to admit that I have gotten used to staying in Jo's place, I actually began to like it there. But now I have to move again. I am going to miss the kids for sure.

Upon reaching her house, I ran upstairs to collect my stuff. (Dad is pretty impatient when it comes to waiting for people *sniggers*) I swung open the metal gate, pranced to the bedroom door(almost tripping over Kelly) and fumbled for the lights. *flick* there were the 2 yelping kids jumping up and down with excitement to see me. I carefully took one step into the room and peered around the cupboard...clean floor...newspapers all messed up...but pee and poo all in the pee tray! YEESS! Good job kiddos! I leap over to the bed, grabbed my duffel and my big pillow ( yes, I brought 3 pillows with me) and headed out the door with Inoriz grandma shouting questions after me.

Inoriz is getting married!

I have never really taken the idea of Inoriz moving away to Aussie very seriously. I guess deep down inside I really don't want her to leave. I wish she and Nad can just stay here, but her dream has always to be a vet and aussie is the only place which is cost effective for her to obtain her degree. She always talks about getting me to go over there to do my masters and that I can live together with her and Nad. but my dream is to do my masters in England or Sweden.

When she told me her marraige plans this morning, I couldn't help but tear. She is for real this time. She is really leaving. I could not bring myself to feel happy for her, for my own selfish reasons. I love you girl...I guess at the end of the day, I will still be have to accept it.

Inoriz in Aussie

It has been two weeks since I've moved into Inoriz place to take care of the kids. She is coming back tomorrow and daddy is gonna pick me up from work so that we can go back to her place to get all my lugguage and to head pack home.

These 2 weeks have really open me up to the life of Inoriz. I really admire her, living all alone with just her pets for company. Cooking in a kitchen that she tries so hard to keep clean but ends up getting messed up when she comes home. Now I know why she gets depressed so easily and why nad and the kids mean so much to her.

Within the first few days, I was really homesick and it was quite disorientating, waking up in a room that was not mine. I would pine for home all through the day and it was really upsetting to come back to all the little presents on the floor that the kids left for me while i wasn't around. There were different points in the day that I would feel like breaking down and I would call Merg to wail. When i walk the dogs at night, I would be quite afraid and paranoid because her place is really quite. I only feel safe once I get back into her room.

On some days, Benji's bladder likes to play tricks on me, which would mean that I would have to wake up at 3am to clean up his pee and at 5am to clean up his poop. Chiyo is still the little angel as ever. I love her so much...that cute little darling. Kelly is starting to warm up to me and she sleeps by my feet every night.

My cash flow has gone all the way down and I dont have much supplements left to keep me going for the rest of the month. The only good thing is that I have paid off a huge part of the debt that I owe mum. Probably next month I can start saving for my bike.

A Sunday at the beach with Merg

">After a slumber night cum drinking session for 2 at polem's place, I woke up at 11 plus on a sunny sunday morning. Actually...bolted up would be more like it. Cos I messaged Merg at 4 plus in the morning when i returned home and told her that I would meet her at Harbourfront at 12noon. Knowing Merg, amongst the 3 of us she is the one who is always punctual and I really didnt want to make her wait. So I grab the phone and calle d her, but guess wat! THE WOMAN STILL SLEEPING LEI! NEBER PICK UP PHONE :D so i dozed off, till beanie messaged me to call godma. Well anyway, I met Merg for duck rice at harbourfront and we headed to the beach after that. But once we got into the bus at the interchange, IT STARTED TO RAIN AGAIN! merg, i swear that it has got something to do with you. Everytime we go to the beach sure kena. LOL.. But God decided to be nice and gave us good strong sunrays for close to an hour so that we can tan our legs before it started pouring again.

For some funny reason, there were many penguins around at the beach today. Don't care much to see penguins around when I am just trying to have a nice relaxing weekend at the beach. We had the "honour" of sharing the bus shelter with a whole cohort of them who were playing penguin on the lousy stereo while one of them happily sprayed on cologne in the already stuffy and conjested bus shelter.

This is the reason why I dont like them. They raise rowdy and noisy seedlings who grow up to be crazy idiots who spend their entire lives drinking, screwing and gettin jiggy in clubs while the other half spend their time selling food at their parents hawker stalls to get just a little cash to do all that bullshit again. They do all the stuff that is frowned upon but when they see dogs they grab their behinds and run for their lives. Where is the logic in that?
