I was just surfing around my flickr looking at old pics and comments
when I saw this pic taken in June ‘07, that tickled me pink.

Where did all that cute-ness and carefree nonsensical-ness go har?

Amidst work and growing up, I think they got lost somewhere along the way…

jan comes out to play!

I gave this to Maby the day before he left for the trip.
A funny note pad I got from Topshop the other day (for the heck of it).

I passed it to him and lie down next to him, asking demanding for a hug.
He looked and… ‘You’re already a 7, alot of people make do with 2. Now go away.’

*Gobsmacked* What reasoning is that lah!!!!!!

- - - - -

Anyway, Mab’s away again. Off to Hong Kong then China for a long weekend of work.
For the GP thing at the Zhu Hai circuit and then some.
Was intending to do the SIN-HKG leg of the trip with him then stay/shop there,
till he comes back from china for the HKG-SIN flight.

BUT… I decided to take the opportunity to bargain and exchange:

HK Trip + No cab for 1 month (except when absolutely necessary)
for THE NINTENDO WII!!!
(Either way It’s still my money and I’m paying for these trips/stuffs out of my own pocket,
but I just feel less guilty when I can justify my buys and he agrees to my spendings)

FINALLY!!!!

We went shopping for it at Sim Lim and I got my set for $712.
- Nintendo Wii Console (US Version) Mod Set
(Original Nintendo 220v adaptor)
- Original 5 Wii Sports games
- 2 Remote Control + 2 Nunchuk
- 10 free not original games

Please tell me if I’ve been ripped off. Thank you. lol

My Speedo Aquabeat is here at last.

The sound is okay, the thing is small and er… it’s black.
I’m not used to the ear plug style ear phones though.
I tried it once and it’s quite significantly uncomfortable.
But then again I’ve yet to try it in the water which might makes it more comfy. *shrug*

More on this when I bring this down to the pool to give it a try.

- - - - -

So since Mab’s away for a pretty long trip (long by my standards),
and then coming back for a day before leaving again(!!!) to KL,
I’ve made lotsa plans to entertain myself this week.

For a start, Sleepover Wii party at Barf and Jeffrey’s!

Jeff shaking the wii remote like crazy. hahahah

Barf playing her fav Cooking Mama game

Me with my fav snack, laughing my arse off at the silly games!

They are the perfect hosts. Even prepared the Osim air purifier for me!
Plus my Doc’s nose spray and a face mask, the night is rocking away!
Otherwise my extremely sensitive nose would have wrecked havoc coz of cat’s fur.

Latte The Miao Miao

And I finally slept on the bed that they bought more than a year ago
so I have somewhere to slp when I bunk over! (and not slp with them) hahah!

‘MY’ BED!!

After spending the whole day playing games,
headed out to have dinner at the Railmall.

Seafood at Hooks!

Hook’s great! LOVE THE DINNER! Go crazy on the squid and prawn. Nice!
We had dinner at 5pm, so had to prep ourself for supper later in the night.
A fantastically mis-matched supper ahead…

Barf preping our Ice Blended Peace & Mango Vodka!!

I MADE THE TANG YUAN!!! ME!! ME!! MEEE!!!!

Watching ANTM on Channel V now.
More gaming later! YAY!

Barf, Cookie and moi!

I LOVE MY FRIENDS!!!

sometimes i feel like he seems so faraway.
many times i feel unappreciated.
and too often i find my words unheard.

suddenly, it doesn’t feel like it’s because we’re just comfortable with each other.
suddenly i feels like i’m slowly fading into the background.
suddenly i can’t find the voice to cry out.

i close my eyes to shut out the hurt.
i sleep to not feel the pain.

surrounded with wedding plans, housing options, exploring potential cash cows,
i’m strangely feeling alone more than ever.

help.

i am mildly depressed.
the once-upon-a-time too loose pants which I bought only because it was on sale,
is now waaay too fitting for me-whom-had-been-trying-to-lose-weight-since-forever.
Camel-toe is threatening to peek out. *face in palm*

And then Maby’s niece from Aussie tagged my picture on facebook.
A pic I took with her when she visited 19 months ago. wearing a cream spag top.
I was actually SLIM. I would NEVER wear non black nor cover-my-flabby-arms top now.

OMG!!! I NEED TO START SWIMMING AGAIN!

Maybe the Speedo Underwater Mp3 I just bought would help me get started.
It should be coming anytime this week, then my pink-week would be over & I can start.

I was thinking of getting the Ninendo wii.
But Maby is not buying my play wii fit is healthy can lose weight talk,
so I gotta keep pushing or think of something else.

Anyway, anyone got recommendations on where to get cheaper?
Online got some pretty cool bundles but not sure how it match up to getting it locally.
Oh oh!! and I want the can play illegal games one okay. hehehe

Got some enquiries from people regarding wanting to share shipping.
Was not keen initially coz my 2 weeks ‘grace period’ for consolidating items was nearly over.
However, 1 out of my 22 items is ‘missing’ or rather, VERY late.
And therefore I would have to do a 2nd shipment in separately.

So er… those who wanted to share the shipping (item must arrive Vpost by 20 Nov),
can just drop me an email at: ceo@sassyjan.com
Please don’t leave a comment on my blog expecting me to email you.
Leh-cheh people also don’t come and bother me coz I am doing you a favour,
letting you ‘ride’ on my shipment in, therefore saving you money.

My shipment is consisting of a book and some of my Forever21 shopping.
So please, no shipping in of items that would give me problem at the customs.

Btw, I have been stalking out spree blogs this few weeks,
and doing alot of online shopping of my own on various websites.
I notice alot of people taking in American Apparel items.
Just thought I would share this: trendyblanks.com sell AA basics at a fraction of the price.
And gotapparel.com also have some pretty decent basics at even cheaper price.
So yea, don’t get a USD 22 tshirt when you can get it at less than 10.

Sometimes I wonder do people actually fully heal from hurt.

How do one forget the hurtful words/actions and bring ourselves to pick up the pieces?

Is the solution - More love?

Yesterday Jeffrey ask me how ever can I spend the ENTIRE day infront of the com.
What exactly do I surf for, what exactly is there to read… for so damn long.

It got me thinking for awhile, then I closed my browser, reopened it,
and tab-browsed into all my regular sites while telling him exactly what I surf.

1. Stare at myself. (My Homepage is my own Blog)

2. Check gmail and work mail. (Repeat this every 30min of browsing)

3. Facebook. (Kaypo-ly look at updates)

4. Blog surf: FF, Barffie, XX, (links can be found in my right link bar)
and my favouritest blog, The Sartotialist.
Noting like an update of what on-the-streets-fashonistas are wearing half a globe away.

5. Repeat (2) and (3), and then stare at the lappy conjuring up random questions.
Sometimes google-ling the answers to whatever rhetorical questions I can think of,
or Sometimes random things that I pick out of the air and feel curious about.
Ok… for e.g. ah…

Do fish gets thristy?

Can the heat from, the laptop burn the fats on my tummy?

The last one is a joke. HA! But yea.. you get the drift.
And yes, I know the answer to all the above. And I know it for no reason whatsoever.
Just simply to feed the curiousity in me and perhaps to have more shite to joke abt.

6. This is new, I just discovered it awhile back while surfing out my random thoughts,
French Radio Online: 99.1 Cheris Fm
Pretty cool for anyone who have interest in french language, music,
but don’t understand it and find a official french channel radio too overwhelming.
They do play some eng music in betw. Little but they do. So it’s less intimidating.
The Top 40’s pop: Duffy, James Blunt and the likes… Love it!

7. Oh… and these… (I’m a member of bigfishgames.com!!!)

Okay. That’s all for now.

Time for weekend ktv with my fav peeps! ;P

I have many worldly weakness. Of wanting more.
Weakness for things that makes my heart skip a beat,
weakness for things that make me feel complete,
sometimes even weakness for things that I feel help define me to others.
Mostly superficial if you were to compare it to needs.

But I’ve came so far, done so much, worked so hard.
Surely I deserve that more than a pat on the back!
And I’m pretty sure material encouragement would spur me to work harder.

- - - - -

Some of my recent weakness… ;P

Shoes are my biggest weakness.
I have shoes in almost every color, style, cut, material, height and comfort level.
Though very often, mutually exclusive.

I figured that it had something to do with those killer heels elevating my height,
and the heel’s innate ability to visually elongate my legs and accentuate my butt.
I used to spend every surplus cent of my paycheck on shoes,
and lunch breaks was spent scouring through shoe shops, (Scary!)

Though times have changed, now that I can afford my lifestyle a lot better,
and I’ve became more discerning towards the shoes that work (or not) for me,
I still find myself often fascinated by new brands/looks that I come across.
My recent online shopping madness had taken form in 10 pairs of heels.
Nine West, BCBgirls, my first Steve Madden(!!!) and some other random brands,
which I pray be as comfortable to wear as they look desirable to be worn.
Or else, the 11th pair of Isotoner slip ons would be doing OT with my feet.

My once-upon-a-time adoration of the now dysfunction shoe brand Nue,
now-always-on-sale Aldo & also-always-on-sale Guess had almost come to an end.
Unable to find much comfort at Nine West nor PedderRed,
I’m hopeing the online alternative would strike a chord with me.
SteveMadden, Cutesygirl, Urbanog & Amazon are my new hunting grounds.

The only pocket friendly shoe brands I like is Vincci (VNC),
and the comfy shoes I always get for the models - Heatwave.

Anyone have any other recommendations? ( I don’t like gojane.)
and I Am rather public about my aversion to the painful Charles & Keiths.

P.s Scholl’s shoe lube glide on (Purple casing) is the secret to donning killer heels.

- - - - -

This post was suppose to be about my various material weakness,
but I kind of got carried away with the shoes, so I’m not gonna go on for too long.

I’m dying to have 2 things now.

The 2.55 which I would most definitely have gotten if I was single.
Coz no guilt or whatsoever since mom doesn’t know her Chanel(s),
and I won’t have given two hoots about the unforeseen future since well…
no one else is involve except me who is willing to sacrifice a lil for the bag.

The Newly launched diamond encrusted Tiffany Teardrop ring I saw
when I was at Tifffany sending my Teardrop ring for polishing.
It was… breathtakingly, jaw-droppingly beautiful.
My heart was telling me to get it when I asked to try on the ring,
replacing the gorgeous teardrop on the finger I always wore mine.
That was until the 5-figure price tag nestled next to my finger as I swoon
(For some strange reason there is no picture of it ANYWHERE online!)

Suddenly the ring which a minute ago was shouting at me in the display
seem to had been shiningly scorning me instead. *sigh*

It would have been really special to me (to get it on my own).
When I got my Teardrop 2 years ago, I had just closed my first major deal.
I bought it to reward myself and in a way to console and empower myself.
An extremely driven 2 years would have easily gotten me that ring.
But my naturally procrastinating nature had dragged me along.
On one hand I want to push myself towards that level of financial security,
on the other hand I’ve over the past 2 years learnt how money’s not easily made.

Perhaps there are times when we really don’t need to get what we want.

- - - - -

Maby’s been talking about getting our own pad,
and as excited as I am about living a life together (not that we don’t already do),
I am immensely concerned about financial commitments.
Perhaps its time I evaluate my extravagant lifestyle and consider shelving it.
My easily 600-1k/mth cab fares, every-other-day restaurant meals,
weekly manicures, monthly facial and spa (massage, scrubs and stuffs).

Bye Single Carefree Life.

Hello Married Commitment Life!

The future kids had better be worth it. HAHAHA

P.s Keep a look out for my next post on having(or not having) Kids.

Insanity is seeing how work can pile up.
Just finished my 4th proposal of the day.
Albeit 1 was a simple one page email.

Had to call maby and tell him I won’t be there for dinner.
Feeling kinda bad.

But then again, we have everyday of our lives for dinners together.

Love.

online shopping would be the bane of my life.
besides the above items which are not bought online coz it’s cheaper,
(I LOVE TONY TAKATANI!!!! CAN’T BELIEVE THE VCD’S IN THE BARGAIN BIN AT $3.95!)
i think i have wiped out almost every online sale (or no sale) available. (exaggerating)

drugstore
forever21
avon
asos (!!! !!! !!!)
gotapparel
random taiwan bag spree
random lomo cam spree
random korean beauty spree
amazon (11 books+ninewest+speedo underwater mp3 player)
amazon (random stuffs like… eye mask and stuffs)

all this without leaving the comfort of the nice aircon room and nice warm bed.
and in another couple of hours i’ll be staying in the middle of some of the biggest malls,
and there’s just no way i can get away from the visual lures.

and i am only writing this now coz matt won’t have com access this couple of days,
and would be too late to stop me by the time he sees this. (I’m sorry dear!!!)

I dare not imagine my Vpost shipping amount when all my items reach the facility.

omg.

anyone in shopaholic anonymous?

P.s I am abstaining from shopping for a couple of months after this.
Just going to dedicate my time into reading the 18 books that I’ve bought,
and get my ass back to work on tuesday of course. Insanity!
