...So chubs tried again~~

~~ So chubs tried again, using another deck of cards....................and i am....


You are The Empress


Beauty, happiness, pleasure, success, luxury, dissipation.


The Empress is associated with Venus, the feminine planet, so it represents, beauty, charm, pleasure, luxury, and delight. You may be good at home decorating, art or anything to do with making things beautiful.


The Empress is a creator, be it creation of life, of romance, of art or business. While the Magician is the primal spark, the idea made real, and the High Priestess is the one who gives the idea a form, the Empress is the womb where it gestates and grows till it is ready to be born. This is why her symbol is Venus, goddess of beautiful things as well as love. Even so, the Empress is more Demeter, goddess of abundance, then sensual Venus. She is the giver of Earthly gifts, yet at the same time, she can, in anger withhold, as Demeter did when her daughter, Persephone, was kidnapped. In fury and grief, she kept the Earth barren till her child was returned to her.

What Tarot Card Are You?


You are Justice


Equity, rightness, probity, executive; triumph of the observing side in law.


Justice is about cold, objective balance through reason or natural force. You can't keep smoking and drinking without consequences to your health. It is the card that advises cutting out waste and insists that you make adjustments, do whatever is necessary to bring things back into balance, physically, emotionally, socially, spiritually. It is a card of balance and harmony; if there is imbalance, the correction may require recourse to the law.


 


Chubs: errmm........and....?

Applause...for the return of my fav watch =P

お久しぶり!!WELCOME BACK!!

*can we hear some applause*? heeee~~~


Finally!  the stuff i ordered from fossile has arrived from the land of red indians (....ok......the states...geddit??!)  Had the strap changed and the glass face changed


It is now all new and Be-yew-ti-fool! hoho.  Yar..perhaps all the services and the straps and glass cost the same as the watch now - but it was all worth it.  It has great sentimental value...to chubs.


You may have remember from a year ago..that chubs' fossile has gone kaput!


 


 


Here's the before & after =)


 


Before la~~~~ ^



After ne ^ !!! All hail my precious!

Pauline Hanson's Singing Lover: Is he sound??

15 Feb 07: Sydney Morning Herald (AM version)

(Chubs: Is Callaghan sound?? I really question his state of mind........duh!) Chubs is totally bitchy when it comes to P.Hanson.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Pauline Hanson is in love.


The 52-year-old former One Nation Leader, famous for her outspoken views on race and immigration, says she has fallen for country music singer and songwriter Chris Callaghan.


"We have both been pretty much looking for that perfect partner for the past 10 years and we've found it in each other and I think it's absolutely fantastic (chubs: oh gosh...confirm unsound)," Mr Callaghan told the Nine Network as he held hands with Ms Hanson.


He is seven years her junior and like Ms Hanson, has also been married before.


Ms Hanson met Mr Callaghan nine years ago at the Tamworth Country Music Festival in northern NSW.


He said he wanted to ask her out for a cup of coffee but was interrupted as he was speaking and the two did not meet again for another three years.


It was a further six years before he asked her to go out again.


"She's very down to earth and very soft in her nature," said Mr Callaghan. (Chubs: Sir, did you mention she is RACIST??!............soft in her nature.....are you mad?!)


"I've never met a more proud Australian than Pauline," Mr Callaghan said. (Chubs: Do the maths....Proud Australian, Patriotic fellow....doesnt equate to being a racist!!!)


The pair have been going out for three weeks and he's even written a song for her. (Chubs: what? the Fish & Chips song??)


"I love it. I absolutely love it," said Ms Hanson. (Chubs: ohh..watever.......)


On Sunday, Ms Hanson said she was "amazed" and "mystified" she had Middle Eastern heritage after a recent DNA swab revealed the controversial former MP's genetic makeup was drawn from a rich multicultural background. (Chubs: Yar......they wear the tudung, maybe you should too, Ms Hanson)


The swab shows her ancestry was nine per cent of Middle Eastern origin, 32 per cent from Italy, Greece or Turkey and 59 per cent from northern Europe. (Chubs: pls...hope you are not from Greece, pls do not tarnish the mythical greeks genes...)

WELCOME HOME JY!

How'dy! Its 4.24 am now and chubs is still wide awake!


A day in the office indeed passed like a burb (okie..i don wanna be gross and use the word 'fart') Managed to finish what i had to do today and sent the documents to Kathrin in Dusseldorf.


Since recovering from the strings of virus attacks, i am always feeling cold in the office...yar..and thus this pic. haha



VERY COLD okie.....Brrrr...so i was wrapping myself always like a Ketupat


Okie fine, i will take it off, take a nice pic me then...no more IMPROMTU! haha



Okie...still looked as pale...but better without the "pandan leaves" wrapped around me isnt it?


YIPPIE! JY is back from Cambodia for holidays so we are met up for shopping, dinner and eventually booze finale


I was caught in the jam...bad jam coz there was apparently a 6-cars chain accident at PIE so i managed to reach Cairnhill at about 6ish. Shop around Heeren...can you believe it? Chubs havent been to Heeren for the last 8 months. Yes..those close to me know why...but i went todae =) Loved the Puma shop that featured losta great shoes!! The concept is like Hype in Sydney. hehe. Gorgeous shoes!! Cost about S$400 on the average...but i tell you...no regrets as they are REALLY gorgeous.


No la....chubs didnt buy any..........


Went to Mooks of coz....chub's favourite nua-ing clothes. they have absolutely gorgeous jumpers. I got 2 there last July with Jack - simply loved them


The evening adjourned to VivoCity (yes..for the same reasons....i have never been there. So its my virgin trip there) Phwoarrrr.....! I thought i am expecting something nice..........but actually i am dissapointed. The design was by the renowned architect Toyo Ito (very nice man...spoke to him personally, and he is totally amiable). But alas...what happened to the internal design of the mall????? Simply dissapointed. A far cry from the not-too-bad facade!


Dinner was settled at this Japanese くし屋 - basically BBQ meat/ vege on skewers. Not bad an ambience but food is so-so. I think the curry is not well done....JY didnt finish it at all. I am sure i make better japanese curry ....for sure.


Aaren had to oversee the event set up outside Harbourfront so JY and me started our pre-func at Harry's. Ohhh..i feel so young in there..............(so many uncles there) Ordered my VB ..yuumm..


And of coz....we wanna go over to The Cannery so we gotta con Aaren into going. haha. I just recovered...and not supposed to club but WHO CARES! its TGIF haha. Aaren is down with flu...but...we con him to go with us. haha


Almost entered MOS.....but last minute decided to go back to the turf. haha.. Where else but Velvet/ Zouk haha. So we drove off again.


Holly Cows...i just parked at MOS carpark for like 10 minutes lor...swear to god..it was just like a grace period but i was charged S$2.80!!! ^*#%^%#$


Park at Zouk whole darn night also no need so much!!!


Anyway...why bother with small stuff..haha......go in first! Fun is COMING!


Its Roger Sanchez in the house! =) Good stuff..yes..but i would prefer Paul Van Dyke anytime....sorry dude. You are not bad la...


Cant drink much coz i am driving..but..haiya....drink..later then say. Haha..of coz chubs exercised self control =) Good for JY coz bro came to drive the car home. So..the drinks continue!!


Guess who i met at members?!!!!


EIZAC!!!!!!!!!!!


Hahaha...of all people MATE!! Its been like dino years since i met up with you! pity eizac is back in singapore till sunday...after which he will be going back to sydney.. =(


Night ended young coz JY also quite exhasted already. Since arriving Singapore today....JY havent been home yet! Gosh....you are hard core too....


Smells like a walking ciggie....am going to shower and watch simpsons...hehe. Its Saturday tomorow anywayz....


Hmmm...my tic to Sydney still cannot confirm.. Warrau...why? The Wallabees and Kaolas also flying back ah? &#%*(# Hmm..Coffs Habour ticket....Mr Lio you sponsor k? haha.


Okie..time out..chubs...go sleep.~

WELCOME HOME !!


Holly molly! I have finally collected my 2 pairs of precious heelies!   


Finished my meetings today and drove to Ninewest happily in the Arvo. hehe. Totally Exhilerated!  Hopping into the shop happily like a ankle biter, i suddenly felt that my fever, cough, sore throat and flu are ALL GONE! hehe.


Wooohooo! out come the shoes *careful* *careful* and heedfully bring them to the car and have them seated nicely on the front seat. Yar...go ahead and laugh about this stupidity. But these are how chubbi's shoes should be treated - with dignity. haha.


Chubs Motto: 


You need good beautiful shoes to walk along with, in this exciting life path


 


And of coz, i already have appointments for the precious. Am going to wear the yellow pumps for the wedding that i am going with Jack. Hoho..i cant wait!


And of coz peeps...i am going to post them here for my own oogling (pls...do not mock my shoes ) haha.


Chubs getting drowsy from the medication again.........going to write tml...

Simple yet classy front =)


 

10 reasons why s'porean guys r doin their NS - Neil Humphreys

Miss reading Neil's column... So i am reposting this funny edition i read off somewhere =)


His last book - Final Notes from a Great Island - was an informative summary of our small island - many of which that i 've learnt to know from the book. ahaha. SHAMEFUL SINGGY!


Leave you guys with this....


_________________________________________________________________________


Haha...Neil Humphreys is so funny. Having read 2 of his books - 'Scribbles from the same island" & "Notes from an even smaller island", I came across this column he wrote about - 10 reasons why Singapore men are doing their national service..hehe. Read on...


(1) They get to go to clubs like SAFRA. Ang Mos have to pay to use such facilities at clubs and its bloody expensive.


(2) They get a break from their parents. I (Neil) travelled 10,000 km when I was 21 to get away from my parents and, to be honest, it's still not far enough.


(3) If they go to overseas universities, they can impress the western women. My old Singaporean mate Dave used to delight the young girls of Manchester University with his heroic tales of NS. You'd think he was George of the Jungle. The predator of Pulau Tekong. But I know an injury meant he spent most of this time being Dave of the Office. But the girls still loved him. They saw an officer and a gentleman from Asia. I saw a sotong from Singapore..


(4) NSmen are slightly more mature when they go to university. When they westerners go to university at 18, they get drunk and fall over. When Singaporeans go to university in their 20s, they get drunk and fall over. But they don't vomit so much.


(5) They can appreciate the lame jokes in the Singaporean NS movie "Army Daze"


(6) They have foolproof diet plan. Sweaty clothes, boots, helmet, humid, hot jungle, regular meals and plenty of exercise - the perfect weight-loss diet. All those draft ads in the newspapers about losing weight in 30 days and taking magic pills that lose weight but damage your liver are a waste of time. The military should see NS to men and women. Take out full page ads that say: "Lose weight in three months with the perfect diet - it's called basic military training.


(7) Whenever they watch a Hollywood blockbuster that has anything remotely connected to the military (Pearl Harbour, Black Hawk Down etc) they can bore the person next to them (usually me) about all the gun specifications and military drills involved in the movie.


(8) They can humble non-NSmen and impress women with all their "crocodile hunter" talk. mention any wild animal to an NSman and he has invariably seen one, caught one, wrestled one and ate one during his night watch in the jungle. Just say the word snake and they'll cry: "Aiyoh, in NS got a black-spitting cobra in the camp one time. Damn fierce one. i only had a stick (don't they have real weapons in NS?) and had to poke it and push it into drain. Had to fight with my bare hands. But was damn shiok. Because after we had snake soup, which is good for erectile dysfunction."


(9) They get free suntan and free haircuts. In Toa Payoh, it is a 10-minute haircut, S$10. In NS, it is 10-minute haircut, botak, free.


(10) Like in the movie An Officer and A Gentlemen, the get to huny for women at the weekends, which is a whole different ball game when you havent seen any women for a week and you've only monitor lizards for company. The NS boys know what I'm talking about. They are like wild animals during the mating season at Zouk on Saturday night. They need more than a cold shower when they go back on Sunday night. They need an ice box and a welding kit.


Hehe...boys.....are you laughing now or keeping quiet coz you are guilty? =)

Chubs awfully sick, grounded (supposedly)

The past week passed really quickly with majority of my time spent in bed.


As usual, chubs being unable to stay still, still went outdoors despite being sick....which of coz worsened my condition.   (Ojiichan oredi chided me say im "huo gai "for going to play golf still)


I am feeling marginally better now, but still feeling shakey...here's my eventful week.


Hmm.realised i bought losta things this week...here's the list:



  • New Golf Shoes to replace the retired pair
  • Replenish my H2O plus, Ettusiais & Laneige stuff
  • Mac Private Sale (okie.....i don need them, but irresistable, so cheap!)
  • Ordered 2 pairs for Nine West Heels - Sexy!!
  • Summer's medication
  • My medication

Yeeee?!  Medication counted?


Anyway, yeah, the first 2 items were bought before i fell really ill. I am very proud of my buy! haha. My new Nike Golf shoes looks nice - coz it doesnt look like the usual golf shoes. I like them as they look really streetwear. 



 Actually, i wanted to get a pair of adidas, but didnt see any nice ladies ones, so i settled for this Nike which was love at first sight =)  Not too pricey as compared to the rest - about S$204+  (oops..realised i pulled the image too much, now it looked imbalance. haha)


Spent a total of S$300+ on H20plus, Ettusiais and Laneige - urghh...everything finish at one go. The sum looks scary when you buy everything at once


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


The above concluded my Tuesday's damage


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Thursday morning: sent Summer to the vet urgently coz of her sensitive skin (urgghh..this is one part i don like about bringing Mer back to Singapore, the weather is so humid!)  Doc gave her some oral and applied medication...and put a collar around her (looks like a lamp) to prevent her from licking the cream. hehe...she looks like Apollo 15! haha.  These pics were taken at the vet  



 


 



 


The bugs and virus hit me on Thursday and i was really down....but still insisted on finishing the meeting and then woke up 6am on Friday to play golf.  Had a good game though i was sick. Proud of myself. haha.


Okie..not so proud after the game, coz i was already running a temperature and shaking away with embarrasing trails of mucus seeping down my nose..haa..GROSS! I have very bad runny nose.  Chubs hate to see the doctor - but no choice, it was so bad...and the fever leads to me not hearing properly and i couldnt speak much or breathe properly coz my throat was infected badly.  Doc gave me so much medication - i feel like a mixer in Pfizer plant.  Anyways, I am glad the pills made me very very drowsy and i was able to sleep for the rest of the day for almost a good 7 hours.  Woke up to have congee and medication and back to sleep.


Comes Saturday - heee, chubs despite not improving still went ahead with the MAC private sale with Jan. Well..dont wanna miss out you see.  Though i dont really use MAC stuff, but they were too cheap to resist. I bought a face scrub since my Kiehls is finishing soon. Bought also a lip conditioner, 3 lip gloss (one for my sister, one of jess and one for myself) Isnt the color lovely?! hehe. Bought also a shimmering finished powder where you can apply after your make up to have those glitter stuff sparkling up your face   Needless to say, the make up pouch is going at S$15 only! And its my fav color, so i bought it. I will think of what to put in them. heee.  Oh yeah! I also bought a blusher. hee.



After the sale, we went to Nine West to buy my shoes...but ALAS! the only pair they have is not perfect!! hMmpp!  Dont want. So i ordered it, they will somehow find another pair and bring it to the shops. Yippie! =)  DONOT fool around with chubs shoes. hehhee


Saw another pair of blur strappy heels - sooo lady like!! So...i ordered that too.  Jan bought a pair of pumps for work - so good...it was on 50% discount.


Holy Baboon!! the nice oldies brown heels that i bought last year is on sale!! 50%!! TMD....everytime i buy already ..then they go on sale.


Anyway, the shoes do cost a bit, coz the 2 pairs im buying are new and thus not on any sale. Oh well..i do have the Ninewest VIP card, so 10% is better than nothing right?  I am so excited to pick up the shoes on MOnday =)


Couple hours later, my fever really kicked my butt, was feeling totally awful - but still made my way to Mark's farewell party at his apartment at Great World City.  He will be going to Cambodia for the next 2 years. awww....


I was early coz i wanna leave early - no one was there yet, so i helped mark with the laying out of the finger foods, load the ice box with beers and juices, lined the wine up the counter.  He bought all the munchies from Old ChangKee..yuumm! But...i can only eat the fishballs....


Met some of his high school frens, and they are really chatty and fun. I guess the fun had taken over the time, and by then, i already had 3 bottles of beers and 3 fishballs. haha. Hey! the beer works!  My fever was driven down.  Left about 8ish and took a cab home coz didnt wanna drive after my medication which made me drowsy.  And of coz ..needless to say..chubs was CONFIRM KO after running around.....slept in for wat was left of my saturday and also sunday.....


Im still drowsy now..but i guess its time to go bed. Bad throat ....but at least the fever subsided and the cough are getting less intense....


Nite Peeps......Chubs feeling mabok already~~
