Today I went town shopping alone, cos I just want to be left alone. The crowd in orchard is just crazy, I guess everybody is doing last min christmas shopping. The carpark at taka is so full that the security guard has to blocked off the entrance & ask all the cars to look for alternative place to park.
I went to Esprit to grab something, when its my turn to make payment, I present to the cashier my NRIC & membership card to get 20% since Dec is my birthday month. After payment, here goes the next classic conversation I have with the cashier
Cashier: Miss, are you local?
Me: *give her a super blur look* I replied Yes
Cashier: You're entitled to join a lucky draw
Me: In my mind I was thinking, she just saw my pink IC less than 1 min ago & ask if I'm local. I thought they'll refund me GST or give me more discount!
After that went shopping around in taka & by 2.30pm I'm tired to the bones. I didn't have a good nite sleep for the past few days already. I walk to the cab stand & amazingly when so many people is complaining that the new cab fare structure is expensive, there's at least 50 people in front of me waiting for cab. I just pray hard that I'll get any cab except those belong to comfort delgro. Lucky enough when its my turn its a premier-Kia cab, total cab fare home is $10.60.

I'm going bonkers soon
I'm going bonkers any min from now. Cried the whole noon, refuse taking any calls cos not in any mood. Yes I admit I'm nasty, but he's no better, now the whole house is in total mess.
On the surface I could be fine with all the fertility treatment, but deep inside me still hurt like mad, when I'm know the only alternative I have now is either go thru SO-IUI or IVF. I've gone thru 6 course of clomid, all fail. First 3 course make me puke till no tomorrow, endless blood test, went thru laprscopy with 1 course of lucrin, how much more do I have to suffer? If I decide to go thru SO-IUI means min 5 days jab, my gynae already mentally prepare me that I might have to be jab 10 days!! The thought of needles freak me out totally. What does he have to go thru, practically nothing!! Ask him to take some vits hoping to see some improvement is like asking for his life. I can't be doing all sorts of treatment when he's not agreeable to the op right. Its not fair to me, I have absolutely no clue what other test I need to go thru.
Why can't I get pregnant the natural way? Why do I have to suffer all this in silence? What does he do when I go thru the test, practically nothing!! He only done 1 blood test so far, I dunno when mine started. What does he understand, I doubt he even understand cos he dun read as much as I do. Other husbands standby their wife when all things fail, he only keep telling me that his family still love him blah blah blah. Hello, I also have my family, they give you the upmost respect, never demanded anything from you but only want you to treat me good. Thats never too much to ask for.

he's a complete idiot!!
What an idiot!! His parents think we own a bank or since when money grow on trees for us to pluck?!
The few big ticket item that we paid this year for them, Mar/Apr their trip to China, that cost us $1200, Jul his mum went HK with his bro & he kindly sponsored $500 that exclude our own taiwan trip, my parents were so nice to sponsor us $2K to spend in taiwan even though I insist that I'll pay for my own holiday. All these expenses his sis NEVER contribute at all, I really mean not a single cent. Now I start to think if she belong to the family, son must bear all the cost? My own parents whatever we buy we 3 siblings were share the cost to be fair, my bro pay lesser cos NS man not much money also but at least he still contribute.
I've labelled his sis as handicap dunno how long ago, each time we go back & if I see her in my heart I'll say "oh handicap is at home".
I'm making my stand very very clear to him, if his sis is not going to contribute a single cent to the household, I'm not going to pay for anything. I'm not going to be taken as a fool anymore. Still can tell me I should leave room to negiotiate, maybe he contribute $200 the rest is his mum problem. Hello, don't say $200 now, $20 I also don't feel like giving. Never see parents not sparing a thought for their poor kids, working so hard to maintain their own family yet gotta worry about those useless item but come with a big ticket items.
I'm going crazy any min with all these financial stuff, don't try driving me up the wall!!

Not a very happy christmas this year
In actual fact I should be feeling very happy, cos christmas eve marks the 6th year since Colin & I knew each other.
Yesterday we went Marina square & Suntec for shopping, after that we drop by my in-laws place and his bro told us that my MIL want to buy a cake mixer that will cost $800!! You guys didn't read wrongly & there's no typo at my end, his bro say we share the cost, Colin without 2nd thoughts & without discussing with me agreed to this big ticket item. First thing that cross my mind, how long will this cake making hobby last? I was not happy the entire evening, this year have been a year of roller-coaster ride for me, next year will not be easy for me either, I'm going for SO-IUI treatment, each time be it positive or negative news will cost me $2K. I'm feeling very strain financially & best of all, Colin don't feel it at all, probably becos I'm paying all the bills, see figures depleting from our account is making me think twice on a lot of things, some big ticket items which I really hope to buy I don't even dare to dream to own it & Colin just simply agree to let his mum buy a cake mixer?
I really hope he read this cos even though he told his mum to look for a cheaper model, its still going to cost us a few hundred, cny coming, my fertility treatment is coming, so many big ticket items coming my way & yet I cannot choose to ignore all the figures. If the mixer cost something like $300 to $400 I really don't mind blessing my MIL with one, but I look around and I think the cheapest will still be in $700 range.
I'm eyeing on a heart shape pendant from Goldheart, that one after less will cost $1K, didn't even dare to have designs on that, all these are just material items which I can do without.
*secretly cried in office without Colin's knowledge & hope after I pen this down I can have a good night sleep & not thinking about that big ticket item that he's going to buy for his mum, I'm really not happy & don't wish to blow this matter up & have another coldwar with him. I HATE TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF OTHERS, BUT HIS FAMILY IS TAKING ADVANTAGE ME FOR GRANTED, THEIR CAR'S ENGINE OIL PROBLEM NOW BECOME MY PROBLEM COS I NEED TO SPONSOR THEM WITH 1 FULL CARTON!!!!

Sillypore new cab fare structure by Comfortdelgro
Flagging down a Comfort or CityCab will cost $0.30 more at $2.80.
The metered fare has also been adjusted. It will cost $0.20 per 385 metres of travel for the first 10 kilometres. This will go up to $0.20 per 330 metres for journeys beyond 10 kilometres.
It will cost $0.20 for every 45 seconds of waiting time.
Instead of the $2 surcharge for peak hour travel, there will now be a premium levied. It will be 35 per cent of the metered fare.
And the CBD surcharge will go up from the existing $1 to $3.
*above info extracted from Channelnewsasia.com
Seriously speaking I find the above adjustment crazy, if you compare with Perth (I was there for 2 yrs), the meter is still consider cheap, living standards are much higher here & I'm feeling the strain. From next week onwards, I'll only take taxi when very necessary, other times I'll just take mrt & bus to get to my destination even if it means I need 3 hrs to get to wherever I'm going

I'm a big pooh fan!!
I'm a big pooh fan, the price to pay for this keychain is $32 just becos there's a 4 leave clover attached to it. I know the rabbit is missing from the family to make it complete!
The salesman say every keychain has a unique serial number attached to it & that explains the hefty price attached to it
Receipt as proof of purchase. Anything happen to my keychain will the shop be liable for it?
My new lappy
I bought this asus lappy during Sitex on 29/11, we choose to go on the first day cos the crowd will get very crazy over the weekend, the freebies bundled with this lappy is 1 extra battery, 1 portable hardisk & 1 router, quite a good buy & it's installed with windows vista ultimate which I hate it
