Some Birthday Celebration Updates & Mid Autumn Festivals

Wow...

For tis year mid-autumn festival... I am like "participting" in tis festive alot... Like there r quite some jobs in my company which is related to Mid Autumn... And i need to come out wif some key elements to add into my artwork... Thus i used Illustrator to design some elements, like mooncakes, lanterns, Moon goddness, bright moon... etc...

I am quite satisfied wif wat i done... Thou the elements r little... Coz when i need reference artworks for mi to use it as a base, i could hardly find much... So wat i can come out from wild thoughts r juz these simple design... But mark my words... If next yr i'm still working in tis company (IF), i will not hve tis problem... Coz in tis year, i hve collected A LOT of brochures to add into my collection from the Mooncake Fair at Ngee Ann City... Is A LOT hor...

I went down to Ngee Ann City there for quite some trips... My motive tis time, isn't like last year (Juz go there for free sampling)... I'm realli there to buy Mooncake... I pick up many brochures, done quite handful of sampling... In the end, the two selected brands i decide to go buying (From one of them), is the The Regency and Shangri-La Hotel... I approach Regency first, asking the staff on their variations and selection... Den lastly i ask if i can mix to form a box of 4 different Mooncake... And juz like tis, the staff says i will need to pay the total price of individual mooncake's price... She suggust mi buying one box wif same flavour, so tat it will cost mi onli $39... But if mixing... even if i mix Mooncake of the same price, my total addup cost will be $48... Wow... My frenz po-low-so her further, still no exception... Den too bad... I shall proceed to purchase Mooncake from my second option, which is from Shangri-La... The staff is polite, n veri willing to introduce their Mooncake to mi... I like their Pandan flavour alot, and like their ginseng flavour alot... After some sampling... I purchase one box, named "Xiang Gong Si(Four) Bao(Tresures)" from them, which consist of 4 different flavours of mooncakes... And the cost is $46 after GST... Hmmm... Quite a good choice, and their box is quite nice... Haha... I will keep tis box till long long time... Who noes when i need mooncake boxes or artwork to do design tracing...???

On the next trip down again... I bot a box of Crispy Yam "Mooncake", which i like the strong fragance of their yam and the crispy of their skin... Juz bot n finished it up veri quickly during the nite at home... Haha...

Prehaps, i will go down again tis weekend, or next, to buy another box from Goodwood Park, which plp says their Durian Snowskin is veri yummy...

I dun noe if tis is rit... I onli see one stall there selling bird nest mooncake, which when i am there on last Saturday, the staff told mi it is sold out... But their stock will be replenished on Tuesday, which is today... So, those plp tat will like to buy bird nest mooncake, can drop by Ngee Ann City today to buy it, while stock last...

On 17th Sept. went down to celebrate TJ's BDay at ... (In fact i dun reali noe the name of tat place)

Happi Birthday To You...
Happi Birthday To You...
Happi Birthday To TJ...
Happi Birthday To You...

We had "Ma La Spicy Steamboat", which is indeed veri spicy... Tis is in fact, my humbly first time eating "Ma La Spicy Steamboat"... And i realised, i should not eat such food... Coz tis is a buffet, and i find myself not eating alot and enjoying in tis makan... The onli food tat i can eat, r those cheap cheap items... J & TJ r the onli ones tat r enjoying the sweetness of tat spicy soup... Haha...

Regardless... The present tat we get for TJ, is a TimberLand wallet tat we purchase at Wallet Shop... Lucky i am there to do shopping wif HM & J, to decide wat to get for TJ, else they may hve selected childish-looking wallet... etc...

One funny example is tis... They moved to one glass table, looking down at the wallet... Den they commented those wallets r nice... I told them, those designs somehow suited my brother's age veri well... But my brother wun carry such wallet wan... Coz he wun wan plp to say him still so childish to carry such wallet... Bobian on my disapproving comments, they moved right abit to look at another range selection of wallet... Den they start comment those wallet r good... Yes, somehow comparing the current wallets wif the previous wan, these r better, but still look teenaging to mi... The gals start to agree on those wallet and ask mi abt it... Haha... I gave no reply... Juz took out my wallet from behind n place it on the table... Tis is wat i call adult wallet... *ABish* Haha... They immediately noe wat i'm going to say next... So we quickly move out to seek another shop for browsing...

Let mi be a spoilt brat abit by announcing out the cost of tat TimberLand wallet... Is $130 plus a one dollar change... And the cost for the three tier layers of wrapping is $10... Wah Sei... Haha... Believe at ur own risk...

Once in every year... Tis yr, we celebrate J's BDay on 24th Sept Sunday...

Happi Birthday To You...
Happi Birthday To You...
Happi Birthday To J...
Happi Birthday To You...

J suggested to go Mind Cafe for lunch... Mind cafe is a good place to hang out playing games... But if u tok abt hving any main course meal there, it wasn't a good choice... We did play quite some games there... And the first game tat we played there, is a game tat WC introduce to mi when my bunch of brothers went there... After tat, we played animal games, detective games and stako games... The game tat we play, n i like it veri much... Is the Simpson detective game... It is a game tat u need to go guessing, who is the murderer, which is the killing weapon, and the location where the murder take place... Is a veri fun & mind guessing game... I'm the first one to declare i hve answer... Yet i guess wrongly... It is all J's fault... Wat a liar she is to trick mi in believing tat the professor is the murderer... When a person guess wrong, he/she will automtically be dead... Leaving the remaining players to continue guessing... A veri fun game indeed... In the end, PL guess it correctly for tat game... Hurray...

HM, PL and TJ gave a $60 Topshop voucher to J as her BDay gift... I dun share in tat gift... Coz i had told her on the previous day, tat my present will onli deliever to her on Tuesday morning, which is later i'm going to meet up wif her for breakfast...

For the sake of tat present... I contribute a lot of walking power on Saturday to find her the present... Initially, i'm tinking to buy her a diamond pendant (Of coz the diamond selection i opt for, wun be veri expensive lah)... But i remember, on the second last trip shopping wif them... She mention before abt diamond's clarity value... If tat vlue is too lousy, plp when seeing tat diamond, will find their cuts to be veri blur... Regardless... I still walk round Raffles City & City Link to look for a decent present... Yet i still dun find one satisfying present...

I feel like buying Brand G stuffs as present, yet it is too expensive, beyond my humble budget... Den suddenly i remember HM they all r buying TopShop's vouchers to her as gift... So i straight away tink tat i can oso buy Brand G's vouchers for her as well... So i walk round the whole City Link, whole Suntec (Until Carrefour there), yet dun find any Brand G shop there... So i made my way to Marina SQ to tour round again for finding, yet i dun see any Brand G shop there... So lan lan... In the end, i walk all the way back to City Hall MRT, take MRT to Orchard...

Coz i noe there is a Brand G shop there... Upon reaching there... I peep into the shop, i see many plp wearing veri elegantly inside... Actually, on tat day, i actually wear veri normal wear... So i will find myself veri out of place if i enter into those shop... I make a U-turn n walk again... Den i finally see some casual wear plp inside... So i brace up my courage n step inside... The sales assistant did saw mi, but they didn't came to mi to offer help... So i approach one of the Sales guy... I ask him if they do sell gift vouchers... He do make an effort to go inside to ask his management first, before returning back to mi, and answer politely tat they dun sell gift vouchers... So first option Brand G is out...

Second option is Brand P. However, no matter how many times i walk pass tat shop, peeping my eyes inside... I can onli see plp wearing veri exaggerated clothings inside... They r like carrying an animal on their back like tat... In the end... I didn't go inside to ask... Too out of place for mi...

So third option is Brand B. Likewise, i do sevveral passing by, peeping inside, before i finally step inside the shop to ask... OMG... Brand B do sell vouchers, but they onli sell during weekdays, not weekends... Sadly leaving...

My fourth option is Brand E... I make my way to Brand E... Tour inside the shop... Yes, Brand E had a veri wide selection of apparel, but i still prefer to buy something better...

So i leave the place n went to Ngee Ann City... Inside, while moving up on the escalator, i saw a boutique shop at one corner selling Brand B apparel... Juz browsing, and i find the apparel veri youthful-looking clothes...

So, i made up my mind... Calling J tat i will delay my present for her... And i went straight to another Brand B shop at Ngee Ann City... The sales assistant inside is very polite... And i make a voucher reservation wif her straight away, and will be collecting on Monday...

I dun buy Brand CH & Brand D stuffs for plp, coz i anti them as gay brand... Yikes...

So, on Monday, i went back to the store, before coming into office... I find back the same assistant... As usuall, she is veri polite again... When i reaching into tat store... She was entertaining another customer, which she ask mi to look around first... She will come back to mi later... Maybe due to such conversation done, the other sales assistants inside the store, noes tat i am booked by her, so they shouldn't come to mi to snatch her sales deal... So i tour inside the store without anyone come disturbing mi... I walk into the men's department... I saw one long sleeve red shirt, which i find the color is veri attracting n nice... The cloth texture is somehow like fur-bie... I like it veri much, but i dare not to dig out tat price, coz i find it veri embarrassing, and i am actually not buying at all... So i put it back to where it was... Den i saw another veri plaining looking shirt on their display table... It has its price tag taggling out, and i managed to see the price... $270... WAH!!! $270 for such a normal shirt... Meaning the red shirt tat i select n like previously, may cost even more... Wah sei...

Regardless... I collected my voucher after tat and make my way to office... Meeting up wif J later in the morning... (If she) Fly me aeroplane and she will be dead... I will eat tat voucher into my stomach be4 killing her... Haha...

Huh! Wat is Brand B...??? Baleno lah...
Huh! Wat is Brand G...??? Giordano lah...
Huh! Wat is Brand P...??? Hmmm... Is Pink dolphin... Haha...
