Double Three

Posted on By sweet surrender 4 Comments on Double Three

Yesterday was my birthday. Took a day off, need a break from work. I was being fed, well-fed LOL! Burp… Too much sugar too, too sweet. Double three… At this age (in fact starting mid twenties), questions you will automatically get…

Where’s your boyfriend? Don’t have…
When to get one? I don’t know…
Why you so picky? Not really…
Then, why don’t have? I don’t know…
Better be fast, you’re not young anymore. *POOF* off I go, not entertaining anymore questions.

When are you getting married? Don’t even have a man, how to marry?
Don’t you want to have children? Don’t even have a man, how to make?
Why you so picky? Not really…
Then, why don’t have? I don’t know…
Better be fast, you’re not young anymore. *POOF* off I go, not entertaining anymore questions.

This is what you get when you start asking me such questions. I don’t know… I have no answers to it, it’s been the same answers for so many years, don’t you feel tired kept asking me the same questions? If it’s here, it’s here; if it’s not, be it. Life isn’t all about this. Of course I wish I have one, of course I do want to have my own family, I know I’m not getting any younger but if it’s not meant to be, then it’s not meant to be. Forcing it won’t do any good.

Anyway, another year again… Things are pretty much still the same as last year. All I know is that I need a break… Another break… Perhaps away… Far far away… Fly away, fly away… Hmm… Whatever it is, I’m just thankful for what I have now and may my dreams come true.

Happy Goat Year 2015

Posted on By sweet surrender No Comments on Happy Goat Year 2015

Happy Chinese New Year! Goat year this year. A mandatory post to wish you a very happy celebrations and may the year be a good one.

Normally the post will be prepared on the eve but this year on the first day of CNY. Photos are fresh out from this morning events.

Wearing red for the first day. Too bad I couldn’t get a red heels. This year’s CNY is different.

On CNY’s eve, we went out for dinner instead of having it at home. Yee sang is from the dinner last night.

This year, I didn’t do much baking. No time to spare. No stamina also *LOL*

On first day of CNY, went to catch the lion dance performance at hotel. Then after that made an impromptu decision to tag along visiting some houses with my colleagues.

Nails were done only this morning before going to work! No red fingernails this year, quite tedious to do, just plain bare nails with transparent polish. Only did red on my two toes.

That’s all for now! A video to end the post. Have fun! Holiday is ending soon… Wonder when my next post is going to be.

Citizen Eco-Drive Silhouette Watch EW8690-53A

Posted on By sweet surrender No Comments on Citizen Eco-Drive Silhouette Watch EW8690-53A

My Fossil watch had served me for years and finally it’s having problem. Changed battery twice, the third time, it started to show problem. Not sure whether it was damaged by the person who changed the battery or the lifetime is over. It’s quite impossible, less than 5 years and generally analogue watch can last a long time. Had no proof to say that they damaged it as I only realized after got home with no receipt from them too, so decided to just let it be, couldn’t wear it anymore, I just put it at my bedside to tell me the time. If wearing it, it might stop, guess the contact in there might have problem. So I had to get a new watch.


Hunted for one high and low and ended up buying Citizen Eco-Drive Silhouette Watch EW8690-53A back in June.

Why? I don’t want to deal with battery anymore! In fact I was eying a Seiko solar powered watch with stone set bezel, it was a very good deal but it ran out of stock so I got this. The second choice.


Do you notice something? Maybe the picture is too small to tell hehehe… I didn’t realize it’s only two-hand instead of three. Means there’s no seconds hand. Was shocked when I saw it, first time in my life! 😛 I was thinking, how on earth will it move, then suddenly I saw the minute hand moved. Sounds silly huh?

It’s so small and light, just nice for my small wrist. Not used to wear a watch this light as the previous one was rather heavy and big. Actually was expecting it to be bigger as I couldn’t find the measurement. I just asked my sister to get it for the sake of getting a watch without battery in my budget range. Lucky for the discount else I won’t get it and might end up with normal watch. Original price was £129, after discount it was £80.85.

Too bad though, with constant use, lots of scratches on the smooth surface now. Do you have any idea what kind of material for watch that won’t scratch, not leather or plastic or rubber. I prefer something metal. Maybe will get one next year.

The two-hand is a bit weird, it takes time to get used to it. The downside will be you won’t be able to count the seconds.

The watch is water resistant but only for normal use, not suitable for swimming. I won’t use this for swimming too because it’s just to pricey to swim with hahaha…

So far, it’s serving me well. Not much of an issue. Love the lightness of it. Don’t quite like the design though, nothing unique. Just normal.

Overall, I don’t mind the money spent on it. Just hope it will last for at least 5 years or longer. Simply because it’s a Citizen.

A Birthday Post

Posted on By sweet surrender 4 Comments on A Birthday Post

Ahem... Need to say more? *gulp* on TwitpicAnother year older… Parents bought me a mango fresh cream cake last night instead on the actual day. Spending this day with them too. This afternoon we went to sign some stuffs. Imagine two rims of A4 papers. That’s how much we signed, took 1 hour!

Today, was expecting someone to celebrate or at least wish me a simple “happy birthday” but it didn’t happen until I had to tell that someone it’s my birthday today then I got the wish. This is how silly I was hahaha… The person didn’t know, didn’t check, didn’t care for sure. I had to tell to get it! Pathetic! It’s funny in a way though. Oh well… Hoping for one but I didn’t get it instead I get more than what I asked for. Not bad at all.

Thanks to those at work! Love the scarf! Definitely will go t... on TwitpicAt work, colleagues celebrated it with me and gave me a scarf. The scarf is so soft and the colour is very nice. I wouldn’t buy this colour if I am to buy it myself because I thought it won’t complement my skin tone. However, it actually did! Muslim colleagues will never go wrong when it comes to buying scarf. They know best! First time getting a scarf as a gift too. This is definitely going to Perth with me 😉

Tonight, the weather is very cooling. It reminded me of Adelaide. The weather felt the same like 2 years ago, this day. It was my first and last time celebrating the 30th with someone who used to be significant to me. Was also my last birthday in Adelaide. I miss Adelaide, part of me feels like going back but part of me just doesn’t want to. Nevertheless, at least I’m going to OZ for a short trip this November.

All right! Enough of that. Should end the post. Time to sleep! Birthday wish for the year? I forgot to make a wish last night before blowing the candles! *LOL* Come what may… Will go with the flow.

Ramadhan is Around…

Posted on By sweet surrender 4 Comments on Ramadhan is Around…

Hello!!! Have been really busy with work, especially this. Dressing up like this for a company function. Never in my life wearing a jubah. Fits me just right just that the length is really quite painful, easily step on it.

Was required to walk around a lot ushering the guests, luckily didn’t trip =.=” Few times actually, almost, luckily… So I had to pull it up whenever I walked. Also, had to ensure that I didn’t step on my own dress while sitting as it would be an issue when I stood up because I would just fall face down! It’s not gonna be a good scene with all the important people around. Shudder just to think of it.

The sleeves was supposed to be long but I rolled them up due to unforeseen circumstances.

Hopefully next week will be freer after the next project ended. Very exhausting doing all these even though it’s kind of fun in a way. Can I have a break?
