Goodbye 2009. Hello 2010!

2009 passed in a flash. Before I knew it, another year has passed. Looking back, it was a significant year for my Goddess. It was the year when my Goddess got proposed to, got of her flat and changed jobs.

Out of her 5 new year resolutions for the year, she only managed to complete one - Run a 10K race.

So her resolution this year would be made easier in case she can't achieve it:

1. Run another 10k run.
2. Finish her 'The Intelligent Investor' book.
3. Sleep by 12.30pm every night.
4. Put moisturiser every day before she sleeps, scrub and mask every week and face/eye mask every week.

The end of 2009 was a good time for my Goddess for she had a chance to catch up with some friends and loads of good food!

First, it was a wedding dinner on the 23rd.

Followed by tea with lover on the 24th.

In the evening, they went to an atas Jap restuarant for some mean sashimi and wagyu beef!

30th was catching up time with her CS friends.

On the 31st, she met her Twinnie for lunch a Tambuah Mas. Look at the towering Tauhu Goreng!

Then, it was followed by Avartar with Avartar blue popcorn at Suntec Eng Wah. But one peeving incident happened. They couldn't change their coke drink to lemon tea even if they paid more just because it came in a set. How inflexible can they get? They are already not getting a lot of cinema-goers because of their lousy facilities. Furthermore, when they were going to collect their 3D glasses, the uncle handing out the glasses shouted at them, "Can you please?". Please what? There wasn't even a queue behind them as they headed to their cinema early.

Now they are going to lose more because of their poor customer service. Had the show not been a hot favourite and it's sold out at GV Marina, they wouldn't have gone to Eng Wah@Suntec.

Now, she wants to write in to Eng Wah to complain. But the website is taking forever to load. Talk about a sucky 360 experience.

Look at the pathetic pizza that cost $5. It's only one palm-sized big.

The only redeeming factor is that Avatar is a nice show. But that has nothing to do with the cinema.

However, the 3D glasses were a problem to my Goddess as her lashes kepy brushing against the screen, hence dirtying the glasses. So which means she had to hold on to the glasses throughout the whole show.

On the very first day of 2010, it was photoshoot day for Paper Polly as the Horny Devil wanted a good rest for the next few days before work starts.

I miss you very very much!

But in the evening, to let themselves start things happy for the new year, they headed down to Island Creamery.

My Goddess ordered Apple Pie and Banana, while the Horny Devil this special Christmas flavour which I forgot the name (it has an alcoholic taste to it) and Reverse O. The Reverse O was too bitter for my Goddess liking. She preferred the refreshing Banana taste. However, nothing beats Granny's Favourite at Tommy's Palate. Yums~

Thanks to Kevin, they even wore a matching couple tee.

So that's how my Goddess spent the remaining of 2009 and the first day of 2010. Hang around for more adventures to come!

Paper Polly goes to flea

Yesterday, my Goddess decided to take her blogshop to flea. Seeing her move all her barang barang around made me real excited and want to be part of it.

I can finally be their spokesperson! But before a picture was taken of me, I got tired from all the running around.

Yawnz!

Ok, a better shot now

Close-up

And zoom out

Look at the amount of things they had to bring along! They had to drive a van down!!

My Goddess also shared a 2nd hand booth with her friend. The goods, sold at $5 each, buy 2 get 1 free, was so popular! Look at the number of people crowding round that booth!

By the time the flea ended, my Goddess was dead tired, with back aches. She had to hold her bladder the whole day too! It's not easy to do a flea! Luckily I didn't go down in the end!

Behind the Scenes of Paper Polly's Collection #3

The Horny Devil is still very persistent on being featured on Paper Polly. He even showed my Goddess that he's good with poses.

The sultry pose

I think I can do a better job than him. So I hung around the 'studio' waiting for my chance. And finally I got it! My Goddess decided to pose with me!

But I blinked!

Do you know the amount of hardwork that went behind the photo-shopping of the pictures? This is the beautiful after picture that you see.

And this is the before pict. Look at how much it has to be done!

Paper Polly Collection #3

Collection #3 is launched and my Goddess is really excited as all the clothes and accessories look so nice she has to stop her urge to keep them for herself!

Behind the scenes will be revealed soon, or so I hope!

Happily Ever After

Everytime I see a wedding album, a wedding photoshoot or pictures of a couple in their new love nest, I would feel very envious. I long for a wedding that officiates us as the one that will share each others' lives for better or worse, I long for a home to call our own, that I will go home happily to.

Somehow, the dream seems much farther away from reality. As we start our preparations, more hiccups and tiffs somehow just occurred. And surprisingly, they are not due to differences in how we want the wedding to be.

Is it that hard to love someone selflessly and wholesomely that you can just chuck away any pride that you have? Is it that difficult to live with someone who is just not the same as you?

I still long for that special wedding shoot that defines us as being a spontaneous and compatible couple. I still want that wedding vow that pronounces us as husband and wife, till death do us part. I still crave for that house that we share even if there are days I will grumble that the laundry and dishes are thrown all over the place, and that he will force me to go bathe when I'm too tired and want to sleep for 5 minutes only.

Hari Raya Trip to JB

My Goddess and the Horny Devil 新血来朝, decided to head down to JB for a day of fun and food!

They left the house at noon and there was a huge human jam at the checkpoint! By the time they went City Square, it was already 2+pm. They were famished then and decided to check out the area nearby for some cheap and good dim sum lunch. Unfortunately, they aren't familiar with the area at all and couldn't find any dim sum place. So they settled for herbal duck noodle instead which tasted pretty good!



After lunch, they headed to cut and colour (for my Goddess) their hair. Colouring there is at 1/3 the price here, given my Goddess length!

For dinner, they wanted to have a good seafood meal at the famous Taman Sentosa. They wanted to be adventurous once again and take the public transport. Unfortunately the bus they took that says it goes there dropped them at somewhere pretty far away! They walked and walked and gave up finding the place by foot, and decided to hail a cab too cos some alleys looked dark and scary.

Well, the cab driver brought them there in the end. And they litterally had a feast!



They were like super full and couldn't finish the yam ring and had to tabao back home! My Goddess even had a very bad indigestion after that ;(.

There was a cute cat that actually stayed under their table while they were eating.

And it even fell asleep halfway through..

After dinner, they headed home. This time they were smarter and took the cab. Too bad they only spent half a day there and didn't do much. And they overate which left them feeling uncomfortable when they left. Well, they should do this often cos City Square is so near the causeway, and the causeway is pretty near my Goddess' house!

Till then..

Upset

My Goddess is upset that her favourite hotel has increased the rates by another $100 per table. And that's excluding GST!! WTF?! Who would now pay at least $130 to attend a wedding? Not the super giam ganna relatives!!

There goes her dream wedding... boohoo~
