Anyway the good news is I got my driving license. Finally! Haha, thought I will fail cos the tester nag from the start to the end of the test but after all the nagging he gave me a pass. haha, need to thank the tester cos i also learn a lot from him. Straight after i pass the test, I went back home then my mil asked me to go for "driving orientation" cos my in-laws car is mercs which is auto, continental plus it is bigger compare to the usual car i drove which was manual, japanese and medium car. So there we go, I was the driver, my bro-in-law seat beside me while my mil and kiern-boy seat behide. We go round and round seletar reservoir, saw my com skill 2 teacher at the seletar reservoir carpark, i was driving and she was trying to cross the road so i signal her to go first then i think she thought i looked familiar cos she keep turning back to see me.. haha.. i did not recognise her until later part.
Then suddenly the car engine stalled. Mil said i never accelerate enough then I was thinking auto car can never stall engine then bro-in-law replied to mil "impossible where got auto car stall engine one". The car was like stuck at a small slope. We tried all ways and no way the car start so mil called sos.. my father-in-law. Eventually, he walked from the home to the seletar reservoir. By car it is near less than 5 mins can reach but by leg it was like more than 15mins. haha.. so in the end he called the garage ppl and they said need to tow the car. So there he is waiting for the tow truck while the rest of us walked all the way back home and poor me have to carry a 15kg small boy all the way cos he refused to let anyone else carry. Anyway the car was fix immediately once it reached the garage. Fil said one wire was damage that why. Brother in law keep saying i so unlucky first time drive then this kinda thing happen.. haiz.. i hope it won't happen again.
Initially, my baby refused to let me drive. He keep siting on the driver seat and hold the key. In the end, bil lied that he will drive and took the keys from baby while my mil grabbed baby to the back then I hurried sat at the driver seat and started driving. Baby keep crying said mummy cannot drive, i want to go home. Asked my mil go away. We said we bring him see monkey he said no. After about 5 mins drive, my baby got used and just enjoying his ride. He was not used to mummy driving cos most of the time i be sitting with him that why. I guess he has to get use to it...

Long time never post liao... due to the fact that my com kana trojan then busy with reports, presentation and quiz.
I had a hectic week but very satisfying because
- Ms Wong, my IT in retail banking lecture commented that my groups(consist of Yana, Lynn & me) was the best so far. She said we gave her a very good report with all the importants and relevant points in. That really pays off the effort that we spend doing on the report. Like to thanks my group mate for their effort too and sorry if I asked you guys too much to change or add on to the reports.
- Yesh... get thru NE presentation. It was a super fast presentation by my team(consist of Harmon, Yana, Wai Chong, Fuqiang & of cos me). haha.. cos we are presenting in front of all NE student at the lecture hall. Thanks Harmon for doing the whole presentation slides.
- Also got thru com skill presentation.. haha.. yes I got 3 presentations this week. Com skill also not so bad. Thanks to all my team mates.
- Got my eCom quiz result today. Very happy with it, hope to maintain it so that I can get my A, haha...
- The best part is I solve my mobile application development practical test question. Now all gear up for that on next friday. I solve this morning. I was trying out last night but never get it work so I was thinking of the solution when I go to sleep, thought of one solution b4 I closed my eyes so the first thing I do when I wake up, I try out the solutions and was so happy it worked that I nearly scream at 7am. Haha.. but I saw my hubby and son sleeping so I stood up go to a corner and jumping up and down with my hands covering my mouth. haha, call me crazy but yes I done it!
Initially I thought I got a great day cos end of presentation, solve pract test and got good result for eCom but I was so wrong cos the last lesson of tha day, I was so piss off by someone. Seriously, is not that I want to look down on you or what but you do not even know how to use System.out.println and you do not even know how to use the API and if else statement and you expect me to believe you do the pract test codes yourself?! Worse still, you still got the cheek to argue with me when you dun even know what is going on with all the codes. If you dun know just say dun know, why go all out to act smart alec? I had explain to you why that part of your codes is redundant for like 3 times and each time you said you understand then in the end you go ask Yana, what I meant and some more tried to defence your codes, said what "user dun know the value of key num 2?". HELLO... WAKE UP... THERE IS SOMETHING CALLED API AND U R THE PROGRAMMER. Even Mr Yip, our mobile application development, heard our argument and when I turned to look at Mr Yip, he was laughing and gave this eye expression and shake his head. Haiz.. if you dun know just say dun know and try to do yourself and learn, then need help then ask, at least you put in the effort to do rather than just copy. Stop acting like you are the Mr Know-All when you are obviously not.

Points to take note when purchasing online:
- If you purchase locally, do meet up to collect your item or opt for register mail as there is a risk of lost mail if you opt for normal mail.
- Try not to buy white apparels if you are not confidence of the quality from that certain website. If you really like the white apparel then ask around if anyone bought anything from the webby and how is their quality. The chances of getting your question answer will be higher if you post your question on forum.
- For local purchases, ask the size and the measurement before you purchase any apparel, ask any question you want. As for spree it is near to impossible to ask the size from the organizer as they themselves maybe first time customer on the particular website so the only way is to check if the website provide a size chart.
- Pictures sometime can be deceiving. Those pictures that are like magazine or with model that are like Japanese, be wary cos the picture are photoshop to make it look really nice.

I want to talk about online shopping cos a few people knowing that I shop and sell online for quite sometimes had asked me regarding online shopping. Some are still scared of doing shopping online so I hope to write this post as a guide for all online-shopper-wannabe. The guidelines are purely based on my experience for my loots which mainly are apparels and cosmetic. I will post different parts on different topics of online shopping cos a lot to say... lol
First of all there is a few different kinds of online shopping, I will focus on the 4 main kinds, that is
1. Online Website (E.g. www.gap.com, www.coach.com, www.jshoppers.com etc)
2. Auction (E.g. Yahoo auction and eBay)
3. Blogs (I will recommend a few blogs later)
4. Forum
For the online website, mostly is overseas website. You can buy brands that are not in Singapore. Things that I recommend to buy from overseas webby are apparels, accessories and cosmetics. Avoid purchase expensive stuffs. For brands like coach, ralph lauren etc, you can get it cheaper at the website(for coach is about 20% cheaper which is plus shipment to sing). But the problem is.. some webby do not send internationally and some do not accept credit cards that is issue out of U.S. For this problem, you can easily solve it by using Vpost or Comgateway which they also provide concierge service. For webby which do not send internationally, you can use Vpost or Comgateway service which they will provide you with a U.S address which you will enter during your online purchase when the seller send the item to the U.S address then the courier will send to Singapore to your address. Google yourself to find out more about Vpost and Comgateway. As for concierge service that they provide, they will pay on your behalf on webby which do not accept Singapore issue credit cards. For more information on this, go google youself.
As for auction, auction provide a wide range of stuffs. New, used, apparels, furniture, liquor, computer stuffs etc... For auction, always remember to check the seller ratings, as long as their ratings are above 97% positive you are mostly safe to buy from them. Always ask question before you bid or 'buy it now'. Ask as much as you like since you are a customer unless the seller do not want to sell to you. For local auction, always be wary on lady apparels. Some sellers sells overseas auction item with a high turnover profits, DO YOUR RESEARCH! Always do research before purchases. You can get overseas auction items by purchasing directly from overseas seller. If overseas seller have minimum quantity of let said 30 then gather you friends or the easier way is to join a spree BUT again be wary of some spree organiser who charge you handling fee or quote the shipment fee higher than it is to earn a profit. Some kind soul spree organiser, organise the spree cos he/she want to buy stuff as well and want to save on shipment so he/she will organise and let said initially she asked you to pay $3 for shipment but after that if shipment is only 2 bucks, she will return you 1 bucks. The down part of purchasing overseas auction is the quality of the apparels so be smart and do your RESEARCH! For overseas auction, if you purchase directly from example Taiwan auction, the trouble is on communication as you need to write email in Chinese, some seller although they indicate they don send overseas but you may try to email them and ask cos some will send if you purchase in bulk.
For blogs, this is the recent craze... Singapore seller setting up blogs selling their own pre-loved stuffs, handmade stuff and stuffs from overseas supplier. I normally shop for blogs that sell unique stuffs. The pros are the quantity of each design is limited so the chance of wearing the same as others is pretty slim, quality tends to be better than stuffs from taiwan auction and if anything wrong you can ask for change or refund easily depends on the policy. The cons are the price tends to be higher than stuffs from auction and nice items tends to be sold out pretty fast so when you see something you like you need to tag or email the blog owner fast.
For forum, quite similar to auction. Seller start a topic of what he/she want to sell and set a selling price which is the amount you will pay if you want to buy from him/her, normally they sell stuffs that they do not want or do not need. For forum, they also offer sprees where some people will gathers order from forum members to buy stuffs they want and share the shipment. Recently I bought a coffee table from a fellow Singaporebrides forum member for just 15 bucks. It is a glass coffee table which condition is pretty good and has that contemporary look and I saw someone selling the exact same table on yahoo auction for $100.

Anyway got a great site to intro to get to know yourself better, http://www.paulgoldinresearch.com/cg/index.htm . You guys should go and try, freaking accurate. I tried it twice and it seems to read my mind twice. It simply know how I feel deep down in the darkest area of my heart which of course only I will know as i never like yaking about my feeling or ups or downs but this test simply said it out on how I feel, amazing!!!
First tried result:
Presently, you are trying to break away from a situation that is causing you considerable worry and concern. Things are getting on top of you and you are feeling depressed almost to breaking point. Obviously there must be a way out - but at this time the solution seems to be escaping you. You want to 'get away from it all' and as a consequence you appear to be sullen and introverted and refuse to get involved in any discussion or arguments which could aggravate the situation. Accept the fact that 'as you feel - so your body will respond' and 'pretend' to the world about you that everything is going beautifully as, if you act as if 'all is going well' everything will, whether you believe it or not, work out as you would like it to.
You are a leader and possibly at this tine in a position of authority, but you are experiencing problems. You are not quite sure how to handle the present situation.
The way things are at this time it is necessary to 'go slow'. All the pleasures that you have anticipated should be left in abeyance until some future date, but all is not lost, you are able to derive and achieve considerable gratification from someone quite close to you.
You are exhausted, over stressed and you refuse to give in. You are trying to minimise the tension by being physically active. It would seem that you are experiencing problems with an existing relationship and try as you might, you find it impossible to alter the situation because there is no co-operation. There is an urgent need for proper understanding which may only be accomplished by communication. At this time you feel that there is no 'give and take' on either side. This is resulting in constant depression. You are irritable and it could be said by your nearest and dearest that 'you are hard to live with'. You feel the urgent need to get away from it all - even it's only for a little while. You may be finding it difficult now to make firm decisions - you are restless and generally uptight.
Be it through unfulfilled emotional requirements, whatever the circumstances you are experiencing considerable stress, be it mental or physical. To your credit you are attempting to escape from this by endeavouring to create a semblance of peace and serenity by refusing to allow yourself to be involved. You have the strength to 'pull through' and all indications are that you will... perhaps sooner than you even believed possible.
2nd tried result:
You are seeking protection against anything which might seem to be exhausting you or tiring you out. It would appear that you are seeking a life of security and physical ease, free from any problem or disturbance.
Being a likeable person you get on well with neighbours and friends. You don't need anything to 'Rock your boat'. You want to 'love' and to be loved'.
At times one is burdened with more than one's fair share of problems and this would appear to be your situation at present. But you are adamant - you know what you wish to achieve - and by giving a little and taking a little you may well find that the realization of your dreams could become a reality.
Whatever you strive to do, something always seems to be holding you back. There is no subterfuge in you. You are a clear thinker and all you demand from life, in a relationship, is a partner whom you can trust and with whom you can, together, develop a foundation of trust based on understanding. You are your own person and you demand freedom of thought to follow your own convictions. You have no interest in 'two-timing' and all you seek is sincerity and 'straight-dealing'.
You are fed up with other people trying to influence you and you also feel that it is necessary to protect yourself from the threat that your independence and freedom may be restricted. You would just like to be left alone.
The first result said that I am worry, concern and over stressed.. ya giving myself high expectation, that why...
As for second result, "You are fed up with other people trying to influence you and you also feel that it is necessary to protect yourself from the threat that your independence and freedom may be restricted. You would just like to be left alone.", this is just so freaking true...
You guys go and try and let me know how you find the result,ya? Please tag to let me know cos i want to know if it is really accurate, thanks...

Will be kinda busy for the rest of the year, due to the new home coming. Somemore need to find new childcare. Never easy to be a mummy. Mummy I Love You! Ha! Finally know how much effort mummy put in for bringing us up.
Bought 8days and read their article on "The annoying list". Agreed with most and strongly disagreed with some too. I mean what strong with the writers? They are like single childless ppl who said "Parent-operated baby strollers" and "The day walkers" as annoying? I know most ppl will agree with the writers but you guys will understand one day if you are parents.
Here is my annoying list:
1. Girls who do not know how to use a toilet bowl.
2. Hypocrite people. I met my fair share of this kind of people.
3. Chinese mushroom. Never like the smell of chinese mushroom aka smelly mushroom. I know its just me but I simply hate it!
4. Youngster who think they are very cool when they do some stupid thing. Instead of cool, they let ppl think they are just so oh CHILDISH! Example of their "cool" antics: shout and talk a loud in a shopping mall, all the dog or cat whisper.
5. People who act in bus and mrt. The moment this kind of people see old folks, pregnant ladies, kids they act like the never see, sleep, read book/magazine or chat with their friends. Well one day you be old too, dun said I never warn you...
6. People with no basic manner. Where is "thank you" and "please" go to... ever help a person and never get a thank you but that person tend to say thank others even if I am the one who solve the problem. What my help is not a help? Whatever!
7. People who give display ornaments(photo frame, teddy bear etc) as birthday present. If you are not sincere about giving present, dun give. It will be a waste of YOUR MONEY. Some will said "it's the thoughts that count" where is the thoughts when you decide to buy a display ornaments.
8. People who try to force people to change their religion by insulting other religions or by cheating/lying. Come on.. If you want people to embrace and believe your religion, first of all, learn to respect other religion. If you dun respect other who will respect you. And worse of all, attacking the weakling in hospital who are dying or really sick to make them convert. Hey what wrong with you guys? Can't let the dying people to die in peace? I been cheated for so many times by this people even by those who I used to respect dearly, sad...
9. SAM machine. This freaking machine got no back button! Anything wrong you need to start all over again. Where is the back button!!!!
10. My baby. Haha, he is at the stage where attention, attention and attention is what he want. He screams, cry at the wee bit of things, insist his own way of doing thing, repeating question which you had answered--> Example on a bus:
Kiern: "I press ok?" (with his finger pointing the bus stop button or bell, whatever it is)
Me: "No, When we are getting down I will let you know then you press ok?"
Kiern: "ok"
Less than 15 secs...
Kiern: "I press, I press ok?"
Me: (Reply the same thing)
Kiern: "ok"
Less than 15 secs...
Kiern: "I press, I press"
Me: "NO!" (stern tone plus stare)
Kiern: "I press, I press..."
Me: "NO!" (stern tone plus stare)
Kiern: "I press, I press..."
Me: Ignore mode
I gave up. He will said he want to pass urine for every 5 mins just because he want to play the flush button in toilet. But still he is my baby and he is just so cute... :P
