Sissy Tan’s Birthday

Today is my beloved Sissy Tan’s birthday.

One of the kids took this! Artistic rightttttt. Lol.

Happy Birthday Sissy Tan! =)

For her birthday this year, surprisingly, Jonathan is in Singapore! (I once mentioned that he’s always on business trip at this time of the year.) People close to me would know that he went overseas early February instead, and he’s back!

I would love to spend her birthday with her, but she said she wanted to spend it with her husband so we celebrated her birthday early over the weekends!

There’s nothing much to talk about the celebration, so let me tell you about the ordeal that I went through to get her birthday gift.

Her birthday present causes the biggest headache to me as compared to every body else’s. Mama Tan’s birthday present is always easy, and besides, two of us would be thinking today. Papa Tan’s present is standard – Shirt. Because he doesn’t appreciate anything else (not like he likes shirts a lot, though. HAHA). Otes is DAMN chin chai, so I can buy him anything and he will like it (Also, please note that I have good taste. HAHA.) You can’t go wrong with the toys for the kids.

BUT SISSY TAN?

Damn.

The gift I got for her last year? The tag is still on it, and she has yet to use it. And adding insult to injury? She doesn’t know where it is, except that it is somewhere in her closet. -_-

I have wanted to treat her to a sumptuous meal, but she told me she doesn’t like those kinda food.

Well, luckily for me, I stayed over at her place long enough when she asked if I wanted something, because she intended to get one for herself. My reaction?

“You don’t buy. I buy it for you.“

And I got that for her.

I thought it was that easy, but… -_-”

The item she wanted was relatively RARE, and I had to comb Orchard for it. (I only walked from Ion to Paragon then to Ngee Ann City and back to Paragon, then flew all the way to DFS.) I literally entered every shop you can think of to see if they carry anything similar!

THE POWER OF LOVE.

And I’m pretty sure Wei Qiang loves me too, because that poor guy accompanied me there. And I made him carry my bag cause laptop too heavy for 弱小女子 like me. HAHA! He thought I could just grab and go (I thought so too) but we ended up walking up down left right Orchard Road in search of Sissy Tan’s gift.

You’d think the troublesome journey stops here.

BUT NO!

I met with the same problem when choosing a cake for Thy Royal Sister!

Claudia wasn’t feeling well, I cannot get an ice cream cake for Sissy Tan. Chocolate cakes were out too, because it’s heaty. Thy Royal sister doesn’t like Vanilla, doesn’t like Coffee, doesn’t like Mango, doesn’t like cream. I almost wanted to get her pandan cake.

And ALL the shops were selling cakes she doesn’t like. There’s green tea, but the kids wouldn’t like it. There’s durian, but thy royal yiyi doesn’t like it (eh, the kids won’t want it as well). There’s lemon, orange and all, BUT SISSY TAN DOESN’T LIKE IT TOO.

I got so desperate that I called Sissy Tan and asked her directly what cake she wants. -_-.

“Buy Strawberry shortcake la!“

BUT I haven’t seen a single Strawberry cake!

Really. I hate the new layout of Causeway Point after renovation. I have no idea where the shops are and what shops there are. I walked from first level to basement from one end to the other, and up to first level from one end to the other and down to basement from one end to the other AND BACK. Then I suddenly remembered that there was one cake shop that I missed out, hidden at one forgotten corner of the basement.

I swear I was so relieved when I saw the Strawberry Shortcake on display, I almost cried.

Dear 姐夫 Lew, please be around for her birthday again next year, and this time, YOU BUY THE CAKE!

Dear Sissy Tan, thanks for the equal amount of effort you will put in for my birthday this year, and.. YOU KNOW WHAT I WANT HOR? HAHAHAHAHAHA *raises eyebrows up and down*

I love you, very, very much, my dear, smelly, troublesome sister.

Happy birthday to you. =)

My New Wardrobe

I have been procrastinating about this entry since forever.

Wrote this entry in APRIL, and had wanted to publish it after taking a few pictures (I never got around to taking it), but I decided that if I continued dragging, this poor long entry that I’ve written would never ever get to see daylights. So since I have some spare time on hands, I figured I might as well just tell you about how awesomely fantabulous my Sissy Tan is.

Before I begin, I believe you ought to know that I’ve gotten myself a new job, thus the title to this entry. (Ok wait, like I’ve mentioned earlier, I wrote this entry in April, so this ‘new’ job is no longer as new anymore.)

In case you were wondering if I had gone and gotten myself an entirely new wardrobe, no, I have not! I had been jobless for 7 months, and my wallet’s so dry it’s no longer called a wallet, it’s called cloth. And since you’ve read my first paragrah, (or if you know me enough to know where I get my loots from) I believe clever you would have figured that my new wardrobe was attained from Sissy Tan.

When I was in MOE, the SUPER DUPER AWESOME boss cut us so much slack on the dress codes that we can literally turn up in shorts and tee shirts *looks at Audrey in affirmation*, and he won’t say anything about it. I guess it doesn’t really matter to him, as long as we turn up for work, thus even though Sissy Tan has given me a bag of clothes back then, I never got around to utilizing them. This current workplace, however, is so strict I once wore off-shoulders long sleeves to work and I got reprimanded because it was too ‘distracting’. -_-”

(Sorry, my bad for looking sexy in every thing I wear. GUILTY AS PLEDGED! =D)

Anyway, thankfully for me I have an awesome spendthrift sister who happens to be fatter than me but is not very fat who bought clothes that doesn’t fit her but still continue buying without trying so she accumulated quite a high pile of clothes and had no choice but to give them to me since I was in need of office wear anyway. (HAHAHA I PURPOSELY DON’T WANNA PUT PUNCTUATION MARKS ONE)

I’ve measured, this luggage is 35 inches.

Oh, this is already the N-th batch of loots.  And the luggage was filled to the brim. Correct. I’ve had big bags, and small bags of loots almost every week when she comes back, and THRICE, out of the multiple times, she’s FILLED the luggage. Please do not underestimate my definition of FILLED.

That freaking luggage is damn big can. It’s what she brought to Korea during Autumn for a week plus, and her luggage is one of the biggest in our tour group. (Note: Some of them brought luggage of that size to fit in clothes for two people.)

Now that you’ve gotten my drift, I meant to say that I happy happy anyhowly also can wear new clothes to work every single day without repeating what I wore for around… 2-3 months.

In fact, as I’m collecting pictures for this entry, I counted the dresses she gave me and…

I HAVE 87 DRESSES FROM HER.

Tip of the iceberg, cos the rest that can’t fit are folded into the drawers.

WHAT THE. THAT IS HOW MANY MONTHS OF CLOTHINGS LIAO?!

Ok I changed my mind. I can probably wear new clothes to work every single day without repetition for probably 6 months, or more, considering the fact that I don’t have to work on weekends.

The thing about wearing Sissy Tan’s discards (actually, they are all brand new. HAHA!) is that I didn’t have much choice in the choice of clothings. Not that I’m complaining, but most of them are dresses. (<– no longer accurate since I wrote this in April, she’s dumped enough skirts and tops and pants to me to make the ratio of dresses and the rest on par.)

I love wearing dresses cause it doesn’t require you to think what top or bottom you must wear to pair with. If I had to complain, it would be that my wardrobe space for dresses are super limited.

80% of the dresses in here are from her, and that’s only half of the 87 pieces.

Another thing about wearing her discards is that I don’t really have a choice in the colour.

Sissy Tan is a super black person. I have no idea why. 90% the clothes she bought are black. (She argues that she’s starting to open up to other colours.)

It got so obvious that one day I wore a white top to work and my colleague asked me:

“EH! How come you wear white today?“
“Huh?? Why?“
“No la, I thought you only wear black.“

Another incident was about me having those cute cute looking colourful note pads and when my colleague saw and said they were cute, I offered to give her a design, since I have four, so I said:

“What is your favourite colour among these? Ok, all also can choose, pink cannot! MUAHAHA.“
“Why? Your favourite colour is pink ar?“
“Ya. cannot tell right.” <— Since nothing I brought to work was pink. (They’re all blue in fact cos they are all Stitch. HAHA!)
“Ya, cannot tell. I thought you like black. Cause you always wear black.“

Now (then, in April), both my wardrobes (literally that cupboard) are filled to the brim that I literally need a third cupboard. Mama Tan brought it up to Papa Tan one fine day about me needing a third wardrobe and he said:

“Wah, you see last time when we were young, where got ask parents to buy us wardrobes one!“

Ok la, I don’t really know what he said, cause I wasn’t there, but what he was trying to say was that WHERE GOT PEOPLE GOT 2 WARDROBES OF CLOTHES LIAO STILL ASK FOR ANOTHER WARDROBE ONE!? WHO THE HELL HAS SO MANY CLOTHES?!

It got so pathetic Mama Tan bought me those clothes rack with wheels, and TWO BIG drawers that are to my shoulders. HAHAHAHAHA.

The clothes rack was put away (no idea why) but both my drawers are now filled! =D

Well, one man’s trash is another man’s treasure.

In fact, I’m not the only one benefiting from Sissy Tan!

Audrey also came to pick up some awesome loots lor! All I like, BUT CANNOT WEAR! T.T

Sissy Tan’s trash is my treasure; My trash is Audrey’s treasure! =D

Hi Sissy Tan, both Audrey and I love you very, very much.

(Even if Audrey doesn’t, I do. *kiss kiss*)

Sissy Tan’s Birthday

Today is Sissy Tan’s birthday!

It was Sissy Tan’s birthday 2 days ago and I think she had the most unhappening birthday ever. HAHA!

Really la. It was a Sunday, and her husband was in Hong Kong on a business trip. Jewelery shows are always in Feb and her husband haven’t been around for her birthday ever since he started working, and it’s so sad! I met up with her just now and she was complaining about having to go to Hong Kong too on Thursday. Then she said she’d let me have her job (YAY! HER SALARY TOO!) so I can go on the business trip too. Ok blabber blabber blabber.

I’m not going to blog about how awesome she is or how well she treats me or how much I love her because she knows.

Instead, I’m probably gonna complain about how smelly my sister is.

Right, before that, I was saying her birthday was boring because apart from the normal cake cutting, it really didn’t have anything special. HAHA!

Woke up, brought Ashton to speech and drama, had Mac breakfast, went home to Wii. HAHAHA!!!

Smelly Sissy with her smelly kids and their smelly fake smiles. HA!

Well, I would have given her a splendid present, except that I didn’t have the bread to do so.

Speaking of the present, SISSY TAN IS SO HEARTLESS THAT SHE FORGOT ABOUT THE PRESENT I GAVE HER LEH!

Sure, the present’s not the most expensive nor fanciful, but damn, it is not cheap ok! And considering the fact that I am so poor now, I’d rather owe M1 money (snow balled 3 months worth of bills because Mama Tan stopped paying for them for me because I refused to work. HAHA! =( Boo sad.) than to not buy Sissy Tan a present or even to gift her a cheap present, BUT SHE FORGOT ABOUT IT!!!

I went to dinner with Otes and she was still at my place so I messaged her to remind her not  to forget to bring her gift back.

BUT SHE FORGOT!

=(

Mummy, I wanna blow the candles and eat the chocolate ice cream cake. Please stop forcing us to take pictures!

YOU LOOKING DOWN ON MY $150 IS IT?! (It is a branded Guess shirt after all! Humph!)

I DON’T SEE YOU FORGETTING ABOUT THE PRADA LAST YEAR?! >=(

Man, will never forget how happy she was last year. BAH!

And you know what’s the worst part?

I messaged her: “YOU FORGOT!” when I reached home and saw the present sitting there, SHE DIDN’T EVEN BOTHER TO REPLY!

Boo you.

You’re indeed smelly after all.

Happy belated birthday to you. Now you better start thinking about my birthday present.

HA!

Don’t get iPad, leh.

Otes and I had a little conversation, about my sister wanting to get an iPad, just now.

My sister wants to get an iPad.
Can you help me think of a way to deter her from getting it?
Why?
It’s useless! She doesn’t need it! She bought DS, play one week, throw one side. Bought iTouch because she wants to beat my score in Ovenbreak, play one week throw one side, the iPad is just a bigger version of the iTouch!
Your sister is rich ma.
I mean, if she wants to use the money to buy a Prada or a Chanel bag, then by all means la, but the iPad is REALLY useless la!
Your sister got too much money until no place to spend, so just let her spend it on her iPad lor.

Dear Charlene Tan,

If you really got too much money, I’d be more than happy to take them off your hands.

Really.

Love, Your adoring sister.

Sissy Tans and the Webcam

The other day, Sissy Tan and I decided to fool around in front of the web cam.

=D

Muahahahaha..

We first started doing shits like that after we got ourselves the Nokia 6680. Took a gazillion stupid pictures together.

Then the craze died down… until Saturday night when we decided to do it again.

Hehehe..

If we’re gonna do this often, I’ll prolly need a nice background behind me.

Love this picture! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

Next time I’m gonna just take neoprints using my computer.

Yes, I know I look very stupid.

Sissy Tan says we can take nude pictures using the above function!

WAHAHAHA.

Ok, that’s all. =)

Moon Goddess loves you too.
