Yesterday reached home very late, I was so freaking tired!!!

Dear dear bought me a little gift from his trip. Initially he told me nothing for me but he naughty give me surprise again! ^-^ He bought me a thermal bottle from Starbucks. Understand that most country Starbucks have their own series of thermal bottle design. Noticed Singapore Starbucks only have those classic logo unlike Taiwan have range of designs! Dear dear choose 'Alishan' theme design for me. There are several number of designs that are related to Taiwan culture, lifestyle and scenery. For example - like Tai Chung, Taipei, TaiNan, Hualien etc.... Each graphic design apply the most close landmark or local uniqueness in representing themselves respectively.

I love the Alishan design! Steam locomotive, mountain, sunny sky, greenery .... Can really feel how the place is by the graphic itself. No doubt picture tells thousand words ~ Been to Taiwan few times but yet have chance visiting Alisan. We wish pay a visit to this beautiful Alishan if having chance visiting Taiwan in near future :-)

Dear dear managed buy himself 2 Puff Nation Tees, his favorite street wear and he get me 1 as well! Love the design so much! Yo ~~ haha!! Arigato dear dear! *muaks! Dear dear managed drop by BAPE shop but too bad, nothing caught his eye this time.

Weather: Shiny

Yesterday dear backed to SIN! Yeah ~~~ I went to airport to give him a surprise, initially meeting him at his place due to flight arrive at 6.35pm and I was working. However, I rush down to airport just after 6pm and managed to reach there at 6.20pm. Dear dear only walked out from Gate 36 at 7pm, has been waited him for more than half an hour! :-P He was so happy to see me.... happy happy! *muakz!

16.10.2008 汤点王

Weather: Moody

1 more day, dear dear is coming back! Yeah~~

Today lunch we went to a newly open restaurant - Shanghai Chinese Restaurant name 汤点王 located at Suntec basement, before that was Olio Restaurant. It was only opened 2 days but seems like very good business. Lunch time was full!



The menu was very attractive, looks delicious too! Simon & Hai Zou ordered same main course which is Shanghai Mian(something like bee hoon + gravy + a bit soupy) while I ordered their famous fried rice name 双黄炒饭. We ordered 1 side dish as well, 红油抄手.



Their Shanghai Mian taste quite good, but the gravy a bit salty. As for my fried rice, it was so pathetic. It just a plain fried rice with 1 egg, that's it... sigh, it cost me $7.80 :-( The 红油抄手
was very tiny, just like prawn wantan.. as for the taste, quite good though.

Overall, the foods not bad... except my fried rice, feel a bit cheated *sob sob*. It's alright, will try out others next visit -_-

Go for my monthly facial appointment tonight... full weeks was so tight up with works, so tiring..... yeah, tomorrow! TGIF~~

15.10.2008 A Sickening Photographer!

Weather: Hot

Today have my DIY Caeser Salad for my lunch. Started my diet plan since last week, jog more, eat less, less oil, less meat! LOL~~ Hopefully I manage to shed off few KG by next year March! Ganbade~~!!

Yummy, enjoying my salad + vitagen during lunch time. This whole week work really pack, so tiring by working alone :-( what to do? sigh.... this month is a busy month for me, next week worse!



Dear dear away from Singapore for this few days, BUT he's coming back soon on Friday! ^-^ 2 more days to go 'tik tok tik tok'..........

Yesterday night was really pissed off by 1 degenerate photographer from Kuala Lumpur. His name is Edwin Tan. Lousy service and unprofessional at all. Apparently we would like to engage him as our PG in Malaysia wedding, however due to dear dear late reply/confirm he accepted another job from other couple without telling us!!!!!! He claims that his wedding coordinator accepted the job for him. Don't tell me he don't even know it earlier? I don't believe.... Due to this case, he knew that both of us are very unhappy thus he offer to give us a FREE engagement photo shooting in KL! Of course we accepted his offer since is a compensate of that case. We were so happy to receive this offer and glad he was so generous, such a waste we could not engage him as our PG. BUT, we are absolutely WRONG! Here's the stories..

We had been contacted him over & over again to ask for the date we wish to book him for the engagement shots, BUT we will NEVER hear/get reply from him, no matter in email or sms. Till dear dear called him he claims that he was busy this & that and request us to sent him 'another' email. However, the email we sent out may become a junk mail and throw into trash by him! He not even bother to reply our email and it happened few times. I saw him online in MSN, I ping him but he will never reply at all! I had saved his conversation in MSN, of his unprofessional services and lousy attitude! His attitude obviously showed he couldn't be bother to entertain us! Why at the 1st place he acted so generous for offering us the service as a compensation! Such a scoundrel.

I never seen such a unprofessional and untrustworthiness person, who are so FAKE and misuse his promise! Such an unwilling promise have been given out without any conscience. Really 100% ++ disappointed and regretted we met him. I still have to accept his unwilling attitude for his broken promises!! NO WAY! We are the victim while he's the one in fault! *ANGRY*

Regretted for spending our time and $$$ in sending emails/sms/call to him - overseas call!!!! Thanks GOD to let us know earlier, reveal the naked truth! We are so much happy to notice it earlier. We managed to engage another professional, friendly, trusthworthy photographer. A very nice and jovial guy... and his photography skill, far better than Edwin!!

In fact, I don't wish to bad mouth about him and spread this out. But he was really too much and I just HATE people who break his promise and act generous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! As a reminder to everyone, beware of this person and make sure his word is noted down black & white in your contract if you really desperate to engage him as your PG!

A skillful photographer with such bad service and unprofessional nature, such a waste!
