Our Very First Laptop

Thank you meimei (my sis) for such a great *lobang. Because of you, we are able to fulfill our dream of having a laptop earlier than expected.

The laptop will come in handily for Allan's presentations to his clients.

Its a used laptop for 1 year. It is still under warranty for another year.

Guess how much did we pay for it? *wink*

*lobang ~ originate from the dialect Hokkien: A good source or good recommendation.

Stuff for sale

A very wonderful Secondary School Friend of mine just setup a new blog called 4 Shopping Queens.
Yesterday was the virgin post. So do hop over every now and then to check for new stuff, if you consider yourself a shopping queen. *wink*

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

Some of you with sharp eyes might have noticed the announcement on the top of my sidebar. Another Secondary School Friend is selling tickets to T. Harv Eker's Millionaire Mind Intensive program. He is also the author of 'Secrets of the Millionaire Mind'. It was a life-changing program which Allan went last year. The change in him with regards to money is HUGE! So do hop over to my friend's site or email me to know more details.

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

As most of you know, I'm still clearing my 7 years of stocks after I ended my retail business 2 years ago.
I've been really lazy to post them on ebay. For the past 2 years, I've been clearing them through forums and consignments.

But with a new year 2009 (ok, I know we are into the 2nd month already), I shall NOT be lazy anymore!
I have so MANY THINGS TO CLEAR!!!!
From mirrors to mannequins to accessories to female tops and kids t-shirt.... too many to list.

So I'll be posting one item at a time on Every Saturday.
Or you can choose to browse through them (if you can't wait) on http://ebay.com.sg.
My seller id is 1568rich

I HAVE NOT FINISH LISTING ALL MY ITEMS on ebay yet.

Just posted 20 female tops today. They are the pride of my years in retail line. Nope. I didn't do it myself. But because of this product, Allan was interviewed and was on the newspaper... cos' they were one of a kind (THEN).

The shit thing about retail line is, when something new gets onto the press, followers begin to bring in the SAME ITEM and start a price war. *sigh*

This is just one of the many Designs.

The pictures on the female tops are hand-painted and the sequins are hand-sewn
They are MACHINE WASHABLE.
Every piece is unique in itself.
Even if there are 2 tops with the same picture, the color combination would be different. So you will never find another person wearing the exact same thing as you.

I've been selling these tops for years now.
I have total confidence in the quality of the paint.
The paint do not come off after multiple times of washing over the years.
I know, because I wear them too.

The sequins were sewn very strongly onto the tops.
In order to better protect the sequins, remember to TURN THE BLOUSE INSIDE OUT BEFORE you dump it into the washing machine.

Additional Notes: ~Some washing machines uses hot water. Please DO NOT use hot water to wash these tops

"Red Days"

I realised my health is deterioriating... could it be due to age?
I just had the WORST 'Red Days' ever.

I've ALWAYS LOVED RED DAYS. I'm serious. I like the feeling of losing my 'dirty blood' and knowing that new blood is being created. Though the loss of those 'dirty blood' could indirectly mean babies, I still love having those 7 days once a month. Anyway, the 'factory' has closed down long ago and we have no intention of getting the production line to work again. *wink*

Last Thursday (first day), the flow was so heavy that the 'bread's' absorbency was not even fast enough to soak it in and the 'rose syrup' over-flowed and gave my shorts extra prints 3 times in a day!

The two ends of my 'flying bread' (mine comes with wings *laugh*) is not even red yet!
Can you imagine how fast and heavy the flow was?!
I almost thought I was going to bleed to death!

This has NEVER happened before. My sis was surprised when she came back in the evening and saw me washing my 3 pairs of shorts. 'Cos I hardly even stained my undies.

I was so giddy, tired and weak as the day carried on. I was even weaker the next day. Guess the reproduction of the red blood cells aren't fast enough to bring back the colour of my face.

On Friday, after I brought the kids to school, I'm on my bed. When they are back, I'm still on my bed. I couldn't even finish half my lunch and I'm back to my pillow again. I stayed there till 5pm. Yes, my close friends know that I'm a Sleeping Queen, I can fall asleep anytime of the day and in all sorts of positions.... *laugh* but such rest is not comforting. 'cos at the back of your head, you have the image of waking up in Red Sea.

Tip 1: when you are this weak, get someone else to water your plant or you'll mistook the bleach for water (which was what I did) *faint*

Tip 2: when your mind can't function as well as it should, get your spouse to wake your kids up for school or there is a chance you'd left your alarm in the living room while you are covered under the blankets on your bed. (my kids missed school this morning because I couldn't hear the alarm, which I forgot to bring into the bedroom and overslept)

I couldn't quite recover till today. Feeling the beat under my feet once again. And with so much words written on this post, you know the chatty Angeline is back! *wink*

I hope those 'Red Days' next month will be back to normal....

Get the Signal?

When you realize that I am posting less words (with or without photos), you'll know I'm sick. Not in the right body to post something 'decent'; yet the addiction to get a post up is just too strong to ignore or I'll have insomnia. Sometimes the real motive is just to say (indirectly) "I'm still alive". *laugh*

Seriously, ever since I've started blogging, I've told my sis that if I ever migrated to the clouds or met with an accident so serious that I'm left unconscious, please sign in to my blog and put up a notice.

Its weird, how much responsibility I feel towards my readers who have become my friends. A connection so close yet we haven't even shook hands. Strange.

Do you have such thoughts too? Assigning someone to post the announcement on the blog with the title "The Owner of this Blog has Entered Her Wooden Box."

My sis always shut me halfway "Ahh... don't want to listen..."
*laugh*

I Have A Dream ~ ABBA



I have a dream, a song to sing
To help me cope with anything
If you see the wonder of a fairy tale
You can take the future even if you fail
I believe in angels
Something good in everything I see
I believe in angels
When I know the time is right for me
Ill cross the stream - I have a dream

I have a dream, a fantasy
To help me through reality
And my destination makes it worth the while
Pushing through the darkness still another mile
I believe in angels
Something good in everything I see
I believe in angels
When I know the time is right for me
Ill cross the stream - I have a dream
Ill cross the stream - I have a dream

I have a dream, a song to sing
To help me cope with anything
If you see the wonder of a fairy tale
You can take the future even if you fail
I believe in angels
Something good in everything I see
I believe in angels
When I know the time is right for me
Ill cross the stream - I have a dream
Ill cross the stream - I have a dream

Camera Critters

Camera Critters

I've always wanted to participate in this meme, but just didn't get the chance to. Today I'm going to tell you a little story of a little critter.

Do you see what I see?
No.... not Mickey and Minnie....


Let's take a closer look....
that's the tail....

Few hours later we saw this....
We used double-sided tape to stick the decoration on the wall
The lizard's TAIL GOT STUCK ON THE TAPE
and it was TORN OFF FROM HIS BODY!!!!
See the Blood???!
With him looking at me... I feel so sorry, but I'm too afraid to do anything... *slap*

I left it alone, hoping that it would find its way out eventually, since he could wriggle his body every now and then.
The next day....
His body tone turned darker.
(I used a different camera the next day, and this lousy camera has some colour recognition issues, so please bear with the off-colours for all the photos below)


We realised that he was dying.
His movements were slower and there were times when he lost his grip and hang dangling
*heavy heart*
So Allan did what a man is created for *laugh*
He pulled out the decoration and FREED THE LITTLE GUY!
But HE LOST HIS RIGHT HAND too!!!
*heart sank*

These were his 3 toes and the tail.
Can't see one of the toes?
Its semi-covered by the tail, at the edge of the decoration.
It seems that it lost a toe initially, then wriggled around and lost another and then another....
*heart pain*

We managed to get him into this container.
Without sealing the container, we threw it down the rubbish chute.
We know he'll survive there.... we believe... we hope *fingers crossed*

Things are Back to Normal

Ok, Allan and I are talking again.
The silence-breaking sentence was, "I'll be meeting a client at 9.30pm"
And I said, "Orh."
That was yesterday.

When he came back, he received a phone call from my MIL saying that my BIL is in hospital. So that was THE THING that got us back to normal.

This morning, everything is ok with us already.

Thank you everyone for your concern. *smile*

American Idol

I am sooooooooooooo happy with the results!
Finally the irritating Tatiana Del Toro is OUT!!!

And the top 3 for the first group which sang yesterday are my favorites too!
Alexis Grace, Michael Sarver and Danny Gokey.

Can't wait to hear the rest of the 36 finalists sing.
My other favorites include: -
Adam Lambert
Alex Wagner Trugman
Jackie Tohn
Jasmine Murray
Kai Kalama
Matt Breitzke
Scott Macintyre

Oh my, I think its a men-world for me. There are only 3 females in my list! *laugh*

Red Hot Temper

Allan and I hardly argue. Really. No joke. All my friends see us as a weird couple. We are more like friends than a MARRIED couple ~ that's how my friends think of us.

Last year, we had the biggest quarrel ever. That was how I felt. I wrote the details here.

BUT I WAS WRONG! Yesterday's was the biggest and worst quarrel we ever had.

In the morning, he was still in a great mood and wanted to make me happy by cooking my favourite Cheesy Potato for dinner.

But in the afternoon, he was in a bad mood because of a mistake he made. Yet he knew that he needed to get my elder one to complete his Mandarin worksheets. He is my boy's Mandarin Teacher. As usual, he yelled, slammed the table and screamed terrible words at my 5year old.

Its been like that ALL ALONG. Every Mandarin lesson. My boy often ended up in tears. I hated it.

When my boy was almost in tears and hunched from the fear of looking at his dad's face, I couldn't stand it anymore. I yelled at Allan.

"I'm sorry! It was my fault. I shouldn't have thought of the idea of you teaching him Mandarin. I MADE A HUGE MISTAKE! I've had enough of these screaming! From now onwards, I'll teach him all the subjects. Now GO!"

He refused to move. I don't care if his ego was hurt. I just want him to stop hurting my boy.

"Get OUT OF THE CHAIR! Go away! I'll TEACH!"

He looked up at me, face red with anger, "WHY ARE YOU SHOUTING AT ME! KEATKEAT IS NOT PAYING ATTENTION. I need to WAKE him up!"

"You are in a bad mood because of your own mistake earlier and you VENT it on a 5 year old boy. You think that is FAIR??! Now Go away!!!!"

He semi-threw the chair he was sitting on. Stood up and yelled, "See your face, I *sian ah! The best is I leave the house right now!"

He stamped his feet into the kitchen and switched off the cooker, "I'm not going to cook! Not in the mood already!"

Then off he went OUT OF THE HOUSE!

He has never left the house in this manner before. He was truly pissed. Should I have handled it differently? Hell NO!!!!

You don't like people to SHOUT at you, you don't shout at others. I'm just giving him a taste of his own medicine. I would not say that my way of handling is correct, but given a second chance, I would still do that again.

This is the very first time we haven't spoken after a quarrel. Its not awkward to me. I'm a master of cold war. My longest record was half a year when I was only a kid. You see the person every day. In and out of the house. Yet you don't say a word to each other. Try that! I grew up in that way.

I do not think that the one who speak first is indirectly admitting that he/she is in the wrong.
I do not believe that the one who remain quiet is showing that he/she is right.

I will talk to him when there is a need to. I would. But I haven't found a reason to talk to him yet. Let's see how long this silence will last.

*sian ~ a Singlish term commonly used in Singapore to show displeasure or extreme boredom. Came from the dialect - Hokkien. Bored, tired, or sick of something.

February Go Away!!!!

Ok, this month has not ended and I'm not liking it already. Not even a teeny weeny bit. Seriously, January 2009 was Fabulous! But I really dislike February 2009 [so far], too many unpleasant things have happened and are still happening. Do I really need to list all of them? Nah!

The one that is affecting me the most had to be Allan's luck. He had 3 deals which are almost 80% complete. Yet in just one week, everything changed; though due to different reasons, they were all heading the same direction ~ BREAKING THE DEAL.

Allan is still trying to salvage them...but if he fails... *fingers crossed*

Ok, a deal not completing is normal. But to have 3 deals not going through at the same time is Ridiculous! Am I still a naive, pampered little girl who have not seen enough of the cruelty of the world yet? No no no.... I've seen worse!

Its the responsibility of being a wife, a mother, having a family, that's what eating me inside out. I can't help but worry.

I just can't get this fact down my throat. And even if Allan gets another New Deal signed today, it will take 4 months before his commission gets into his pocket. How are we suppose to live without an income for 4 months??? But that is IF he gets a New Deal TODAY!!! Which he didn't.....

Oh well, we did live without income for 6 months before. We are survivors in the toughest situation. We will pull through again... we would (again), right?

I consider myself a worrier. I have been learning to let go of negative thoughts all my life. But I think my condition is getting worse.... *laugh*

Yet, for Allan, after attending the Millionaire Mind Intensive Seminar last year, he became a completely different person. He uses all his energy in thinking HOW he could turn the situation around whenever he face a problem. He kept telling me, "Don't worry, they will go through. The deals will be done."

Allan is never a 'put-a-brave-front' kind of person. Not in-front of me nor anyone. That's him. Completely 'transparent'. Hmmmm... I truly need more of such positive cells in my body.

Are you a worrier or a happy-go-lucky kind of person?

Post-Valentine's Day thoughts

The biggest event in the month of February - Valentine's Day
Because of this day, some even call February 'The Month of Love'.

Do you like Valentine's Day?
did you say "Yes?"
Because of the atmosphere?
Because of the gifts?
or Because of the person who share it with you?

Allan and I were 'officially' together on V-day in 1998. We never really celebrated V-day after that day...and on our 2nd V-day, he gave me the worst gift ever. So much so that I'll never forget for the rest of my life. Your curiosity is killing you? Go read this.

I remember Valentine's Day to be a time for good income. Other than the sales of those 'couple-rings' at my stall, I remember there was a certain year, my whole house was filled with roses! No, they were not for me.

I remember having little sleep 2 days before V-day, busy wrapping bouquets and bouquets of flowers to meet the unexpected number of orders from an amateur like me. Orders came from strangers, our friends and THEIR friends too.

Yes, it was good money, but too tiring. So after that first try, we didn't attempt to do it again though orders still came in the following year. *laugh* Guessed they really liked my work. *Grin*

14th February
On this day,
Many choose to propose
Many choose to take the marriage vow
Many choose to have a romantic getaway to some place where there is only the sound of waves
Many choose to express their hidden feelings to the one they have been secretly in love with

Yet,
over the years,
I've seen more couples quarrel on this day than any other days (I was in the retail line remember?)
I've seen horrible decisions made on this day which resulted in a regret that's too costly
I've seen so many lonely souls in self-pity
I've seen some in tears. Tears from remembering what used-to-be....

Do you like Valentine's Day?
Have your Valentine's DayS been sweet and nice all these years?

Fievel's Little Song



I'm Fievel! I'm from Russia
Just a little bit west of Prussia
But I immigrated to the USA
Once a year upon this date
I drink a toast and celebrate
And wish the world a happy holiday
And I sing my little song this way!

Diddy diddy dum dum - diddy diddy dum
Everybody join and sing along
Diddy diddy dum dum - it's a lotta good fun
When you're singing Fievel's little song

I was born in Vladivostok
In a little wooden house
Pappa was a tailor - mamma was a mousewife
I was just an itty bitty mouse

Times were tough and we were starving
We could not afford to stay
We packed our grips and took a little trip
Over to the USA - and every holiday (we sing)

Diddy diddy dum dum - diddy diddy dum
Everybody join and sing along
Diddy diddy dum dum - it's a lotta good fun
When you're singing Fievel's little song

I was just a little mousey
When I came to this new land
Because I spoke with a funny accent
People found me hard to understand

But I worked hard and made some money
Learned to read and write their way
I thank my lucky stars that brought me
To the USA, so every holiday (I sing)

Diddy diddy dum dum - diddy diddy dum
Everybody join and sing along
Diddy diddy dum dum - it's a lotta good fun
When you're singing Fievel's little song

Memories - what used to be
they fade away - but never end
SInce I came - to this new land
I'm not alone - you're all my friends
ALL MY FRIENDS

Diddy diddy dum dum - diddy diddy dum
Everybody join and sing along
Diddy diddy dum dum - it's a lotta good fun
When you're singing Fievel's little song

Diddy diddy dum dum - diddy diddy dum
Everybody join and sing along
Diddy diddy dum dum - it's a lotta good fun
When you're singing Fievel's little song

An Opportunity Not to be Missed?

If you know me long enough, you would know how much I wish to MOVE OUT of this house. A house filled with memories I wish could be plucked out of my brain like a dentist would do to a decayed tooth.

Other than the unhappy memories that every corner of this house brings, its the Fengshui of my house. It completely clashes with Allan and my Ba-Zi, hence no matter how hard we work, we will not reach the goal we want. My Fengshui Master have done what he could to 'neutralize' the harm this house brings. But his final words, "Its advisable that you move out of here, 'cos it will exhaust your energy."

So for 2 years, we have been looking for a flat which would meet the Fengshui requirements and MY requirements:-
  • be within the same area which I'm staying in now
  • high floor
  • lift-level
  • near to my children's future schools
  • corner unit
  • move-in conditions
  • 4-Room
with such expectations, I was prepared to pay for a high price, but not a price that would 'land' us in financial trouble, which we have got ourselves out of it just a year ago.

For 2 years, either the house conditions doesn't match our expectations or the Fengshui of that house isn't meant for us.......


3 days ago, Allan found a house which MEETS EVERY SINGLE CRITERIA and more!!!!

But the price which the owner is asking for will double our monthly installments. *Big Sigh*

FINALLY!!!! There is a house that is Absolutely Perfect for us, yet because of $$ we can't take it! *Aaaarrrrggghhhhhh*

I WANT TO BE SO RICH that I can afford anything I want!!!!

Allan knows the owner personally. The motive of selling the house is to Cash Out, that's why the owner wants to sell as high as possible....so Allan told me to drop the idea of wanting this house, yet he knows how much it pains me to see it go......

Maybe I should go buy Toto or 4D, hmmmm....

Its like having a piece of Chocolate on your lips but you can't put it in your mouth!!! *Aaaarrrrggghhhhh*

I Miss You

Where have you been?
Why have you left me silently?
I thought I gave you enough attention
enough to keep you by my side?

I tried to hold you with me.
But still
time took you away
so far away that I could hardly feel you anymore

I tried to rest
to keep my focus right
but still you slip right out of me
ENERGY
when will you come back to me?
I Miss You.....

Paintings in My Mind ~ Tommy Page



Picture this
You and me
Walking down a white sand beach
We're holding hands the warm winds blow
We're all alone

All these dreams are fantasies
They're not real, not reality
And now I cry over you
Nearly die over you
And all the bits and pieces of us
That I try to find

Are only paintings in my mind
Faded memories of another place and time
We were happy as can be
You were loving me
And now it's just an image that I find
Like the paintings in my mind

When you left I fell apart
I was torn, you broke my heart
And now I cry over you
Nearly die over you
And all the bits and pieces of us
That I try to find

As if its paintings in my mind
Faded memories of another place and time
We were happy as can be
You were loving me
And now it's just an image that I find
Like the paintings in my mind

Impressions of the way it was
Long ago, somewhere back in time

Are only paintings in my mind
Faded memories of another place and time
We were happy as can be
You were loving me
And now it's just an image that I find
Like the paintings in my mind

Faded memories of another place and time
We were happy as can be
You were loving me
And now it's just an image that I find
Like the paintings in my mind

Knight Rider

*Screaaaaammm*

Whoo-hoo! I've got an extra thing to look forward to on every Thursday (other than American Idol) from now on!

I dare say I grew up watching this show. Though I prefer the previous actor *laugh*, I'm still a huge fan of the amazing talking car; which is bullet-proof, damage-proof, self-driven capable and all the other high tech stuff that were in-cooperated into that cool black machine.

Have you watched this show before? Well, it started its very first episode of the new series today on Star World Channel at 9pm, right after American Idol.

Oh boy, Thursday is gonna be sooooo exciting from now on! Yeah!
*Jumping up and down*

Should I be Happy?

Someone used to say
"it makes a difference if we didn't chat for a day"
yet now
I don't even get a "hi" in days
and I don't know why

Some tell me
"You are the one I think of when I'm feeling down"
"You are the one I would gladly share my problems with"
"You are the one whom I can get directions from when I'm lost"
"You are the one who truly knows how I feel"
"You are the one who is often there when I need a shoulder to cry on"

The above sounds pretty encouraging?
Not really...

When things are alright
they are no where in sight

I'm so honored to share the sorrows
Know their deepest secrets

Yet,
I wished to be there too
when they laugh
when they are happy
when good things happen

Am I just a person for sad times?
Can I not be there only to share your tears?
Can't I be there to share your joyful moments too?

(*A thought on my relationship with people over the years. A fact I wish to get rid of.)

The Moment of Truth

How far would you go to get half a million dollars?
Far enough to hurt your spouse?
Your parents?
Your siblings?
Your friends?

The Moment of Truth is a game show I've been following on every Wednesday on Star World.

Prior to the show, a contestant is hooked up to a polygraph and asked more than 50 questions. Without knowing the results of the polygraph, he or she is asked 21 of those same questions again on the program.

If the contestant answers honestly, according to the polygraph results, he or she moves on to the next question; however, should a contestant lie in his or her answer (as determined by the polygraph) or simply refuse to answer a question after it has been asked, the game ends.

There are 6 tiers to the game. I'm not sure the one I'm watching, is it season one of the show or the 2nd season, 'cos apparently, the rules are slightly different for the 2 seasons.

For the one that I'm watching, the rules were: -
If he/she gives a false answer at any point in the game, he/she leaves with nothing.
For each tier of questions answered correctly, the contestant wins the corresponding amount of money.
A contestant may stop at any time before any question is asked and collect the money he or she has won.
Although a person may stop after any question, once they hear the question, they must answer it or the game is over.
Answering all 21 questions truthfully, as determined by the polygraph results, wins the jackpot of $500,000.

The questions vary, increasing in difficulty and degree of personal nature of the questions. To date, no contestant has reached the final tier. To make the atmosphere tense, friends, colleagues and families are present on the show, sitting just few meters away from the participant. So he/she is telling the truth right to their faces.

Sometimes I wonder what is their actual motive behind their participation in the show. To win the money? Or to embarrass their loved ones on national TV? Many ended up bad in their relationship with their loved ones after the show (occasionally there are updates of the participants few weeks later) . Mainly due to the truthful answers to questions like,

"If you knew you wouldn't get caught, would you sleep with another man?"
"Do you think your spouse is your best sex partner?"
"Have you ever stolen money from your family business?"
"Have you ever been paid for sex"
"Have you at any point regretted marrying your spouse?"
"Do you think your dad is a honest man?"
"Do you blame your parents for your unhappy childhood?"
"Have you ever knowingly committed something that could cause you to lose your job?"
so on and so forth.....

And the above questions usually come on the 2nd or 3rd tier... Can you imagine the questions that were going to be asked as he/she gets nearer to the $500,000?!

Some ended up with no money after they had done a significant amount of hurt to their loved ones, because of one small lie. They get no money and had lots of explanation to give after the show. Many broke down on the show....What's the gain then?

Like the host (Mike Darnell) said, this show is easy to people who do not have secrets. But how many of us, can live up to a life of complete honesty? Do you think YOU could be the ONE who would breeze through the 25 questions and win the $500,000? Would you even have the thought of going for the game?

Happy 'Ren' Day

'Ren' ~ Human Beings
