Do you have a dream band group you could die for back when you were an teenager?
.
.
.
.
this may sound embarress but during the era where Spice Girl, BackStreet Boys and A1 was THE thing..... i had my heart set on one band which i could cry for, looking back... it was rather stupid for me to adore them sooooooo much.....
.
.
.
.
it has been 14 years since their album... but you bother to google them on youtube.... your heart will still pound like i do....
.
.
.
Atomic Kittens.... i wish they could return back some day.... their songs sounds fantastic.... i spend the whole afternoon listening to them..... Cradle... The last Goodbye... come back to me..... i LOVE THEM!!!
.
.
.
i am just gonna share one song right here.. the last song they sang before the split...... bring back the fondest memories..... especially during the period when i was 10-14.
.
.
.
.
does anyone has their album to sell? haha... old ones are fine... just wanna go back to my RETRO years.. teehee

a rather impromptu trip planned with PaperStop sometime last week, i had lost touch with the world for some time already thus the outing was something i was thankful for...


Despite my poor and meagre pocket money per week, i manage to save enough to ensure i had the best of the meal in the only outing i can attend each week, thus dinner was settled at TCC over at somerset.
.
.
.
.
.
Before i begin i would like to rant a little about how i miss buying clothes.. haha.. F21 had the nicest range of clothing this period of time while i am jobless and stranded on budget and PaperStop, my shopping kaki, spare me no chance and that girl end up purchasing a couple of dresses (which she wont need) while i tighten the string attached to my heart and reject all the piece i've picked...
.
.
.
on a positive note, over the weekend the dearest bbbbbbbbb brought his mum, sis and me over to Cityplaza and i satisfy my undying love for clothes buy purchasing 2 very very cheap but chic pieces of dress... more on it in another posting....
.
.
.
.
dinner at TCC is such luxury especially in town where WirelessSG is readily available.... we were also thankful for PaperStop's Mac book Air which was such an intelligent piece of .........metal (haha) with great picture quality...
dinner was served and i order the all time favourite of mine.. dun ask me the name cos i use pointing of finger to indicate what i want (but if you ask me its like the Marinara version of Oglio-Olio... yums!)

PaperStop had pasta soak in what tasted like Miso+cheese sauce... the salmon that comes with it and the Sunny side up make such good combination.....

extra shot of Kristal since.... i haven put make up since forever.... THANK.GOD.ITS.OUTING.. T.G.I.O

We shared a side... mushroom wrapped in dumpling skin... not too bad the taste.. why i wonder why deep-fried mushroom are not served in TCC..... isnt deep-fried-mushroom a better option than dumpling-wrap mushroom? Argh


you can probably see how much fun we were having via her Macbook Air


Paperstop seriously looking though every picture, deleting what were deem as "lousy shots"

We order Dessert too! no actual pictures taken cos we were too engross with it by then.....

Not too long after dinner... we've decided to walk a little towards istana park to digest the indulgence... i;ve brought baby-D450 so it was photo taking after the Mac Book Air had done its job...

My top is from TheStageWalk.lj, a really good blogshop set up by a dear friend of mine,
the short i was wearing is NewFuture denim short from any store in Bugis Store.. hurhur
on my feet was Birkenstock in quirky purple from Schu-UK

Hair was disgusting swipe to the side Bang that had outgrew the standard length

i cant tell what PaperStop was wearing but she always had great sense of fashion style.. so here's her combination

It is to my most unfortunate and *ignorance that Giraffe has officially cease operation since God-Knows how long ago... however, the foutain besides it is still the perfect spot to take great pictures.....

PaperStop jump shot.. we've never fail to do this each time a DSLR was taken out... the previously outing with Fireman we had him take the jump-shot for us but he failed!


oops.. my NATURAL assets exposed.. hahhaa

jump-walking shots... thankyouverymuch

taking a break from the nonsensical picture..





i'll jump...... i can swim.. but i dun wan to be seen waddling through the water with those dried leaves...


450D night shot can be so well taken once you get the hang of still-camera.. haha



a round of formal shots later.... we've decided to end the nights with 4 really random shots of us... which i SO loved....




and thus marks the end of one fantastic night with PaperStop... till the next babe!

i've never really liken the idea of posting backdated entry cos the mood to talk about it is barely there..
.
.
.
However, since this year's birthday was an exceptionally different one, please allow me to bring you back to end January.......Where bbbbbbbbb, a.k.a Rodman.... plans a really nice weekend getaway for us both over at Conrad Continental Hotel Singapore.....
.
.
.
To start off, let me explain why we couldnt travel overseas for my birthday this year...... As you can probably tell by now, this is the final year of my study at SIM (if i dun fail any more subjects)

.
.
.
.
and bbbbb was strict in my study routine, keeping me vigil with burning the midnight oil (which i've taken a liking to since the weather can be sooooooo harsh in the day most of the time). Thus skipping a lesson was a no-no and in addition, bbbbbb had his piles and piles of projects to handle at work and putting it aside for a short getaway back in January wasnt possible.
.
.
.
If you had recall properly, end January was also the peak period all of us gather at home in preparation for the Chinese Lunar New year so....... we cannot be selfish to abandon the responsibility back home to enjoy my birthday.... oh well.. .
.
.
.
.
sucks to be born during New year you think? I thought soooo... the fortune teller once mention my-coming-into-the-world-on-lunar-new-year isnt exactly a good sign..... sigh!!!!!

Anyway....... back to the happy times... lunch was suppose to be some better food but i had class in the morning so everything got delayed.... we had plan for a better dinner instead thus lunch was my all-time favourite Xia0-guo-mian over at Marina Square......
.
.
.
.
Not too long after Charmine (bbbbbb's lilsis text to say the room was ready.... she works in Conrad =)

Jumping straight into the hotel suite... this is a business suite.... definitely better than a normal hotel suite.... and much more cosier.... (all thanks to Charmine and her "privileges")
.
What i really like most was the bathroom which i can conclude was much bigger than perhaps the room i'm putting up at....
On the left side of the bathroom is a WIDE mirror that oversees every corner of the bathroom.... the basin was stretch from the entrance allllllllllllllllllllllllllllll the way till the bathtub... more on it later...

jumping straight back into the room since i was overwhelm with excitement and cant wait to figure every corner of the room out.....

Can i exclaim how TALL the bed was..... NEVER in my life did i have to run and jump in order to get on top of the bed... if i hadnt tip-toe i reckon it would took me at least 20 seconds to struggle up the huge bed.......

a little cosy corner by one end of the bed where a really comfortable rest-chair was placed and there seats bbbbbbbb gleeming with delight watching me hop from one end of the room to another....

forced bbbbbb to take another pic of me and the bed so you can see how high the bed was exactly... till my timmy (my tummy has a name call Timmy) can?!?!?!?!?!??!

waited no further to jump right in and mess the very very neat bedsheet...
.
.
.
.
(am i the only one or do you also feel a bit of sadness when the neat and crease-free bedsheet is being messed up by yourself?)
and again the impatience sink in.. i got out of bed not too long after to explore more areas of the room
Add Image
the walk way by the side was were the bathroom and door were located... you should also notice the huge plasma TV mounted to the wall..... business suite eh?!?!?! hahha.. most of the channel were CNN.......@$!%$^#64

ahaha.. i jump back onto the bed because i've missed out taking this splendid view in front of me when i lie on the bed..... esplanade... Meritus mandarine.... lotsa tall tall building.. MBS.. everything was nicely encapsulated within the window frame

Conrad Hotel had very very thoughtful staff who leaves you a teddy incase you business man cant fall asleep at night.. heeeheeee... besides the Teddy are real and tasty snacks like apple, pear, oranges and HANDMADE CHOCOLATES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
,
,
,
,
am i not spoilt for choice?

one more shot of the splendid view.. i need you to feel my joy.. hurhur



i head back to the bathroom to inspect every corner... exclaiming at every strange thing i could find there... i must have been an idiot cos i was REALLY delighted that they had placed a jar of sea salt there... like they would take care of every tiny needs of their customer (the toiletries are branded tooo... wahahaha)

Force bbbbbb to lie in the bathtub while i took a shot of him.. i am the birthday girl so everything i say counts!
.
.
.
*and before you start thinking of other stuff.. i just wanna add on that we had constant visits of friends dropping by so don't you start getting weird thoughs... whahha.



still taking pic after pic of the bathroom when bbbbbb shout aloud for me.... and when i walk over to the bed this was what i saw

hahaha.... Charmine and bbbbbbbb hid this board at some corner of the room.... before we arrived..... because i am super sure bbbbbbbbb hadnt carrying this before...
.
.
.
this
.
.
.
this male-version of a craft board........... you understand why i had use "male-version"
hahahahhahahahahhha
.
.
.
.
anyway the tiff&co brochure stuck on it was simply because the silly boy had no clue which one to get me.... so upon receiving this board we proceeded to
.
.
.
.
.



Tiff&Co!!!! and i chose my present..... we walked around Marina Square a little and back to the Hotel.... so much for staying in Town... you can pop out of the room anytime you recall something you wanna get... wahaha..

..............back at room 1802


keeping you in anticipation of what awaits me... hahhaa.. i chose this lah!

Thats right.. the latest collection of Silver Tiff&Co.... cursive engrave earring... i think i post this on my wishlist weeks before my birthday.... haha


dont you just love these tiny but precious silver?

Here's me with them on..........

the weather wasnt very welcoming but we could do with cosying up in the room.... sometimes watching tv and other times chatting with Charmine on the line.. hurhur..... or having her drop by the room to wash up.......

bbbbbbbbbbb brought balloon so we had a competition to blow them up at the fastest rate... bbbbb's afraid of balloon bursting (damn funny when i recall this) so most of the bigger balloon were blew by me.....
.
.
.
what can we possibly do with so much balloon??????


you can hide the boyfriend behind those balloon!!!!

then have him pops up from nowhere...

and create visual effects as thou the balloons have lives of their own



hahaha... my VERY VERY childish boyfriend!
.
.
.
.
.
we went out to ta-bao food from our favourite local Makansutra...... initial idea was to enjoy a luxury candlelight dinner in the hotel itself... but since i wasnt exactly hungry and i felt a little sorry the poor boy had to fork out more money for my celebration... hence the change of plan...
.
.
.
it was still pouring outside but nuttin's as sweet as having your boyfriend shelter you in the rain and making sure you are safe and well....
I FEEL LOVED!!!!!!

We watch some movies over the TV and bbbbbb was soooooooo tired from all the planning that he dozed off before i could sleep... i think i spend the night watching more movies and playing on my iphone.. hahaha...
Next morning's breakfast was buffet from the Hotel.. can i recommend you all give the breakfast at Conrad a shot cos the food is REALLY nice?!?~?!~?

i would recommend the waffles in maple syrup and prata.... the egg is really fantastic too! No make up in the morning and my eyes were swelling from the lack of sleep
.
.
.
(those who know me well enough can vouch that i cannot sleep if i am not in a familiar environment... especially Paperstop whom i spend 3 night in BKK with... she tot i was a deity with my eyes wide open 3 nights in a row... hardly slept a wink)


Back at the room after breakfast and someone called on our door.... i open it to receive a tray of Red wine with compliment from Conrad to wish me a Happy Birthday.... THANK YOU CHARMINE! i bet it was one of her idea again!

The luxury of enjoying a glass of Red wine while snacking on a slice of their delicious chocolate.... this is Heaven!


.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.

.
Then along came more knocking on the door... i look at bbbbbbbbbbb in surprise and he simply smile at me and said "go open the door.............."
,.
.
.
.
.
.
somemore surprise?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
