with all the love (:

Hey guys, this time i have really been missing. I'm sorry :(

I guess a lot have changed since my last post and i'm still trying to adapt to it. It's hard but I know we can pull through together. We'll pray and hope and take 1 step at a time (:

(It feels wrong to go out and enjoy, be a spendthrift and blog about meaningless happy things now. or maybe I'm just not in the right mood these days. It all feels like a bad dream that i hope will go away. Far, far away. I dont feel that blissful now too. I know i shouldnt, but i feel envy of so many others.)

Anyway, i still hope to keep this blog interesting but i don't know how ~~or if im still going to be able to do it from~~. Perhaps i'll blog more with pictures first, starting with the Bintan trip ones? We'll see how it goes.. I'll be back okay.

-thanks baby, for being here along with me. as usual, you can make me feel all better.

Going to Bintan tomorrow!

I'm going to BinTan tomorrwow! No actually, in a few hours. HAHA. (i actually wanted to blog earlier so that it will continue into "No actually, it's still tomorrow." Lol)

OKay jokes aside. If you know why the above phrase is supposed to be funny, good for you. If not, no point knowing. It's just sth stupid that's stuck in my mind whenever i hear the words "going to" and "tomorrow" in the same sentence. Hehs. It's 430am now and i'm JUST DONE packing my bag! I swear i take forever to pack bags for stayovers. Yepyep, im finally going to check out Bintan for myself after turning 20 :/ Going with 3 other people, namely, my boyfriend, FatFat and Tweety. HAH. Shall show you guys Tweety after my trip, you should know who FatFat is by now (please scroll down). His 1 year birthday's coming in 3 days! How can we not bring him along? Anyhoo, if you know where i can get cute lil clothes for his negative20 size, let me know! We havent got him a birthday present yet.

I understand that i may not be making much sense cause my thoughts are everywhere right now. Got no time to collect them too. Need to wake up by 8am! Then it's cabbing all the way to Tanah Merah Ferry Terminal! Then it's Bintan till Friday night! So i better head to bed now.. Teehee. I hope it's a fun and relaxing trip with Baby! (: (:

psst, i wanted to post up a 2 picture entry but i didnt expect it to be so late when im done with everything so.. sorry! you can look to your left of the screen and point your mouse at my Flicker album instead. Yes, your eyes are fine; the photos do enlarge when you hover over.

review for Moveme.com

Time really flies, I know, how cliché right? It's been around 5 years since I moved into my house. I remember I hated moving due to the desire to keep things familiar… What's more, it was troublesome to change and move everything.

Our bigger furniture was moved by some company but the fragile and smaller ones were moved by... us! Yep, those who know me well would know that my dad and my uncles are all drivers for this company for many years so we kind of have our "own" bus at times. It was a school night and we moved our remaining furniture bit by bit onto the bus. When we were finally done (and stuffed in between the furniture), my dad got onto his driver's seat to get ready to set off to our new home... ... but the bus COULDNT start! I forgot what the problem was but I was told that the bus won’t be able to go and we had to wait for help to arrive in a short while. A short while turned to a loooong wait and my brother and I even fell asleep on the bus. I think the problem was settled hours later and i guess the only good thing was i got to skip school for the following day (: Haha. It was a wild but very tiring experience and it made me hate moving more. Sigh. If only (i thought), moving house could be done much easier!

5 years later now, i got to know about

like the logo suggests, Moveme.com helps make our moving easier and totally hassle free! It has even won awards such as the Yahoo Innovation Award and the Yahoo People's Choice Award!

In their own words, Moveme.com helps ease our moving by “thinking of everything we need to do so that we don’t have to, and then guide us through every step of the move process with help and advice, lists of suppliers and easy online quotes”. One of the FREE quotes that they provide (which would have solved my main moving problem) is the removal quotes . With these quotes, we would be able to find the best removal company to move our fragile possessions and not have to worry, thus end up moving them on our own (sound familiar :/). To make us feel assured, all the removal partners are fully licensed, insured and rated too. They will pack our goods for us, disassemble the large furniture prior to moving and even unpack/re-hang them in our new house! Just check out their removal companies!

Moveme.com also provides many other free quotes such as Man and Van, Solicitor, Utilities and Mortgage quotes. I think that another useful example would be the free Mortgage quotes . We simply need to fill in some details about our ideal home then moveme.com will send us the quotes that complement us. This way, we get to save time as well as get inexpensive low rates through them! Let’s say that we already have a good mortgage offer from others, we can still try out their quotes (they are free anyway) and see if moveme.com can offer a better rate! I feel that it’s always good to compare to know other alternatives as well as what is available to us. Don’t you do that for shopping sometimes too?

Aside from the free quotes, the company has many other services too. To lessen our headaches when moving house, they provide a Free Move Planner service so that we know clearly all the tasks we need to do before and during the move!

I think this is very useful especially for me because I’m so new to moving, I don’t even know where to start! In addition, those who aren't too great at planning need this, so that you would not start moving your things then realize you don’t have any daily necessities left at your current/old house! Haha. With their help, we could also set up other Home Services such as Gas & Electricity or Home Technology before we move over. Internet! Important right! I’m sure many of you would dread the thought of not having internet connection for days, what’s more, weeks if you are shifting! No more blogs, online shopping… …

If the site is SO good, how can it be totally free?! Yes it can, because the company earns a small fee for quoting their partners and furthermore, we get special discounts when we choose their partners! I think Moveme.com is a great and brilliant alternative to the old-fashioned way of planning/handling everything manually ourselves. Anyway, those perks that I mentioned are ones I find useful to me, you guys might find other services of theirs more useful so… check it out on your own!

nerd specs.

I have really been disappearing lately and nobody has tagged either :( (i know you people are reading thru nuffnang, pls tag when here x) if not my blog will really be deady)

Anyway, im here fer a quick post actually. Met up with buddies Bee and Yin last Thursday at Novena! Here was the "Surprise Gift" they had for me:

Ultra nerd specs. Weird looking with funny colors and doesnt even fit a normal face properly. Guess that's what make 'em cute? They said that the specs were sold in NP under some bazaar thing. Sheesh, the things people sell (and worse, the things we actually BUY). Guess how much?

$0.50/pair!

HAHAHA. The specs just crack us up. Presenting, ...

Hello, want to be our friends?

We even continued our craziness on the train packed with commuters.

We felt perfectly fine taking funny pictures with the funny specs altho im not sure if my friends would stop talking to me if i post the really ugly ones up so im not taking the risk. Haha. As i was saying, we felt perfectly normal with the weird spectacles because there was something MUCH funnier than us at the same cabin (or maybe cause we were already mad that day, this seemed REALLY sidesplittingly funny)

I guess she was really sleepy? Oh no now thinking about it i feel a lil bad, seems like a mean thing to take her photo like that but... sicne i've taken, i should share it right? :x We were thinking of scenarios such as "maybe she was reading halfway then fell asleep" or "maybe she was just sleeping then somebody's newspaper flew to her head and decided to leave it there" ecetera... After she woke up and removed the newspaper, we were anxious to catch her face but it was covered by a HUGE hat too. Hmm... I would probably cover myself up after sleeping underneath the newspaper like that too. But i dont think it would ever happen to me cause i do not like to hold on to newspapers (they have a funny feeling and tend to dirty your hands?), thankgoodness.

Alright, enough meaness! When i said quick entry, i meant it cause baby's waiting for our phonecall before turning in together (:

Here we are for the last time with our COOL specs.

Sorry girls that we couldnt make it for Halloween after all that hooha :( There's always next year! Shall blog again when im not rushing for time! Loves!
