All About Polishes

I am absolutely furious with Singpost. What part of the words "Fragile! Please handle with care!" do they not understand?

I bought some nail polishes and they were delivered via normal mail. When I arrived home, I saw the package lying on my front porch, which is 20 meters from my gate. The gate was locked, which means my package flew 20 meters from my gate to land on hard granite floor. Sure my polishes were double bubbled wrap but as soon as I opened the envelope, I was greeted with a nasty smell of nail varnish. Uh oh... 

And sure enough... 

Polish Number 1

Polish Number 2 :(

Yes Mr Postman, you are damn brilliant. Go try out for touch football why dunch you! #%*\?£¥!

Have since lodged a complaint to Singpost and they have promised to issue him a warning letter. Sobs... Money down the drain. 

Hubby is overseas and I miss him terribly.  But he'll be back tmr! Whee!

I'm loving this nail colour at the moment! 

Pretty!

It's called A Butterfly Moment from the Mariah Carey Spring collection. The perfect shade of pinky nude!

Christmas season is near!  I know this because OPI launched their holiday collection! (I know... holiday collection in October? Crazy)

I'm in love with all 18 colours from the Mariah Carey (Huge) Holiday collection!

A long weekend of Krispy Kreme and Chilli Crab

Krispy Kreme launched in Singapore, 5 donkey years after I got back from Australia.

Good grief...

And yes... we queued. But it was fun queueing because we were showered with snacks and drinks by the snack bearers. So we candy crushed for abt 40 mins and when it got to our turn, we were led by a guy carrying a Krispy Kreme sign that says "Follow Me' down the escalator and into this  'blink and you'll miss it' corner where trays and trays of yummy doughnuts were being wiped out. It baffles me as to why they allocate such a tiny corner for such a prominent brand. Hell, this place deserves a drive-thru the size of a Kallang Macdonald's, and not this cafe like corner at the basement of a department store. Seriously!

But let me tell you, this queueing system does not work. I had a mysterious guy appearing out of nowhere in front of me enroute to the donut counter while meadering through the basement of Tangs. Blardy cut-queuers.

The donuts made up for it though, $50 worth of it. And no, I still can't believe I forked out a blue note in exchange for 24 pieces of donuts. Daylight robbery.



Woah, check out the couple behind. Sweetness overload huh?

Chanced upon this adorable pair of gloves at H&M. Awww... Did not get them though, left them for someone else who travels more. Boo..



cutest thing ever

As usual, the mister had cravings. But I didn't really feel like spending for the real thing, so we made a trip to NTUC and Tekka Market and he made...

CHILLI CRAB!!!

 

Hell yeah, we did! Ok, he did.

It was quite a feat, killing and cleaning the crab. But to get 2 800g crabs for $36 and a pack of Prima Chilli Crab sauce at $7 beats forking out $55 per kg at Jumbo. The crab was cooked to absolute perfection, because the Mister insisted I get out of the kitchen to let him concentrate on getting it right, and got it right he did. It tasted amazing! Better than the Jumbo one it seems. Jumbo's crabs are more 'ketchupy' if that makes sense and quite frankly, not really power-packed enough. I like mine spicier. And the chef added 2 eggs, shiok la! And because we were lazy to fry our own man tous, we cheated and got them from a Tze Char store.

Only 2 days to go till the weekend. Yay!!

The One with the goodbye to Granny

So, a week has come and gone. We spent it running from Bedok to Suntec to Bukit Gombak to Thomson back to Bedok every single day. I'd like to thank my wonderful husband for his love and support over the past 1 week. He was the designated driver and anyone who drives know that it can be the most exhausting thing. That coupled with the lack of sleep doubles the lethargy factor. So thank you my dear, love you mountains high! 

I appreciated the time spent with my paternal family over the last week. I think it's the most I've seen of them in years. Sad as it sounds, the death of a loved one does bring the rest of the family closer together, so I suppose every dark cloud has a silver lining. 

I know it's a tad inappropriate but I kinda like this picture that hubby took of me as a joke. He claims I look silly. But I think it makes light of a sad situation. 

After all that have transpired, it makes me think about my remaining family members and how I don't see them often enough. Just a reminder to everyone to not take anybody for granted and to always treasure the people around you. Life is too short, so drink up! Be merry and love with all your heart! Here's to the ones who have passed, the people we know and the strangers we have yet to meet!

Granny passed away yesterday at 9.46am whilst the rest of us were at work. I think she waited for the maid to come back to her side, at least she didn't have to be alone. 

It saddens me that I don't even have a proper picture with her. 

RIP ah ma. You'll be missed.
