The Amazing Race recap#1

Sunday Night was the official premiere of The Amazing Race season 24
This season, 11 teams came back to race again for 1 million dollars.
They are:
Margie and Luke(seasons 14&18)
Flight Time and Big Easy(seasons 15&18)
Jet and Cord (seasons 16&18)
Mallory(seasons 17&18)and Mark(season 20)*
Brendan and Rachael(season 20)
Natalie and Nadiya(season 21)
Jessica and John(season 22)
Dave and Connor(season 22)
Joey and Meghan(season 22)
Caroline and Jennifer(season 22)
Leo and Jamal(season 23)
*Initially,it was Bopper and Mark competing in the all-star race, but unfortunately, Bopper had some inflammation going on in his pancreas and hence unable to compete in the race,so Mallory had to take over.
I'm actually really happy that most of my favourites are coming back,like Mallory(she's like my all time favourite c'mon she's so cute!),my Sri Lankan twinnies who have never failed to crack me up with their arguments,Youtubers,Margie and Luke(HUGE respect for them) etc.
However, there was one team whom i felt shouldn't be in this race, Caroline and Jennifer.
They're so boring and they're not really like fan favourites.
I'd much rather have Andy/Tommy come back seeing that they won 6 legs back in season 19 and got eliminated before the final leg(I'm still pissed at Ernie/Cindy winning the race)
Well, i guess there weren't many fan favourites in season 19 because it was frankly speaking one of the most boring seasons in race history.
I'm actually excited that the Afghanimals are coming back,i mean c'mon,they survived 2 u-turns(no one in race history has ever done that) and they're like so wild omg!I'd rather see them come back than Travis/Nicole(nicole was so freaking desperate I stopped rooting for them)
So the first leg they went to Guangzhou;China,somewhere I've been to twice.
Sadly I wasn't able to see them at the guangzhou airport as filming began the day after my graduation(16 Nov 2013)-hear my cry-
Upon their arrival at Guangzhou, they headed for some street area selling tons of wedding gowns to search for their next clue, which is to go to the Canton Tower and ride those gondola thingys at the top.
When the door closes, they're to open the clues which either has 'try again', or 'head to.....'
After which, the teams were to go to that area( i have no idea what) to do some somersault roadblock and if they've suceeded,they're to check in at the pit stop.
*SPOILER ALERT*
Overall,it was an okay leg, but I was so sad that my dear twinnies couldn't get it together and they were eliminated
Surely but sadly.:(:(:(
I have many other teams to root for nonetheless so I'm hoping for the best!*fingers crossed*

Lazy working child

Hi friends
Its a brand new day,not really but y'all get what i mean yeah
Today is a normal day
I did tourist-y stuffs with my mom walking around The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands.
Part of the reason why i wanted to go there was for Bath and Body Works.
I managed to take a look at the store and check out the prices of the products there and this was my reaction when I found out all the retail prices:

Its like a teeny weeny hand sanitiser can cost you around $5 and you have to pay 8 freaking dollars just to purchase a tiny 1.3 fluid oz candle talk about daylight robbery man.
I'd much rather but it online and spend the money on shipping fare than buy it from the shops itself
Its still cheaper,okay
After which, mum and i walked around Raffles City area and I continued shopping while she headed home to bond with my grandma.
This time at M&S, I sponsored all the food purchased from there.
Its not alot of money spent, so I just let it bypass, anything to make the people whom I love happy and give back to me mam who has raised me to be a fat goddess(vomits blood) for 17years at the same time.:)
I bought this hipster aztec bag from Factorie and its pretty obvious that I'm absolutely in love with it from the moment I laid my eyes on it I slung it around my body and walked around the store and the house looking like a lunatic.#yolo
I also bought a super cute pair of porcupine socks from New Look so when people step on my shoes they will prick themselves first.
Ignore the last line if you don't understand this thing called sarcasm yeah
I came home just in time for Masterchef and after which, I proceeded on to doing a couple of DIY projects like bracelets and all etc.
Work was extremely tiring and I feel like alot of my energy is draining away because of it.
I am very crazy when I work at Terminal 3, I don't know why but i just am
Usually when I'm very extremely tired.
Like all of a sudden I'll take a cookie and eat it cuz I just could not help myself and sing smurfs when I serve my customers and have impromptu gossip sessions with my coworkers.
In T2, I'm too scared to trashtalk and lodge complaints and go jalan jalan and even wear my New Balance kicks to work, while when I transferred to T3 a month ago, its a really different story.
I trashtalk with my coworkers and my pinoy ones give me advice on my poly courses, I wear my New Balance kicks upon seeing some people wearing coloured shoes to work and I am not as afraid to lodge complaints.
Nevertheless business is still really hectic.
Especially this week because now only 2 people are working in the afternoon-Shaky and I for the whole of this week and when all the customers have left I'll be like 
I can play this song on the piano no kidding its pretty easy to pick it up!:)
Yah but seriously its this busy,sometimes to the extent where I'm about to faint because I'm so overwhelmed.
I don't care already I am going to quit my job on the 16th or maybe I'll resort to working 2/7 days a week because I have to watch TAR and Survivor and go shopping with Kimsies and hang out with Wongosari and tour around SP I GOT SO MANY THINGS TO DO IN MARCH I'm gonna be a soldier soon LOL.
Okay time to update my cash record and go sleep goodnight bitches!
Till then,
xx

Chinese New Year+Other Updates

Hey guys
How's everyone doing?
Its been so long since I last touched my blog as I have been rather busy with CNY,work and my admin stuff that I don't have the time to update my blog.




Chinese New Year this year was okay-there was Reunion dinner the night before, followed by numerous rounds of black jack,collection of hong baos, and alot of visiting going on.
I took 3days off from work(talk about a long weekend)to spend time with my loved ones and once I went back to work on Monday, Auntie Jenny told me that the place was really quiet without me around hahahaha perhaps she has no one to talk to during work I guess?
I'm so happy to have met my cousins again at my grandma's and I really enjoy spending time with them!:)
I sound so cliche but whatever
5th February is the day where i know where I'll be headed for the coming 3 years.
I got into S37(go research if you don't know I'm not gonna reveal so much LOL),which means that I'm on my own.
Its okay i'm excited for a change!:)
I tried appealing for N45, but I failed miserably before I even apply because MOE don't like me and God wants me to be a scientist in the future.
Thanks but no thanks i'm scared of bunsen burners I don't like being near them I just hope that my course is fun and the workload is somewhat manageable and that I get a decent job in the future.
Its okay!
I don't need to go CHINAH and speak CHINESE-I learnt that business-related work is notable in Cheena -so yay double yay triple yay say yay everyone-YAY!
As you guys know, my command of the Chinese language is atrocious and the only time I bother speaking Chinese is to my Cheena customers to the aunties at work and I'll only watch Digimon Frontier in Chinese dubbed LOL don't ask for more.
I honestly don't give a shit about church activities for the time being-apart for regular Sunday masses- because I just want to get away from everything and it aggravates me to see people sometimes,like I just want to shield myself from the world and hide in my little corner and do my own things.
So now when my annoying brother ask me about church events and social events my answers now would be no,no and no.
14th Feb was Valentine's Day and I really miss having it in SAC yeah!
Its okay I got to spend time with my co-workers(w/o her because she's on leave YES) and i got a Toblerone chocolate bar from Shaky thank you many many!!
Shaky and I were the only ones working in the afternoon on that day and it was crowded as hell.
Isn't Burger King opened already why can't they go there to get their freaking food why choose Subway?!
There's also this wreched lady who told me that my service was bad.
I'm like 'hello I could've pointed the finger and say 'fuck you get lost' in your face but I didn't okay, and I was freaking polite to you and I even smiled at you for heaven's sake' why must there be bitches like her in this world of ours
Next time when i go to her shop I'm going to give her a hard time and tell her in her face that her service was atrocious and I'll threaten to complain to her manager and persuade him/her to fire that bloody employee pinky promise.
It was also the last day when I got to see Mary sobs she's going back to the Philippines I'm going to miss you Mary take care and all the best for your future endeavours yeah!:):(
I'm so happy that the 2 part time girls changed the roster until she has to work alone on Sunday 
Mary and I were laughing like mad when we found out and I convinced Shaky not to tell Mr Lim *wink wink*
MUAHAHAHAHA SWEET REVENGE 
That's what you get for making me entertain the customers alone on Saturday for the most part!>:)>:)
I feel so evil now so don't ever mess with me yah!

The next day was Mummy's birthday and we went to Lena's where I treated her dinner and I don't really care how much i spent on it as long as her belly is happy,so am I.:)
Happy Birthday Mummy I love you from planet Pluto and back and I hope that you've enjoyed your dinner!:):) <3
She wear shorts out damn hipster siol I have taught her well #sayyay #patsontheback
Okay I have to get my room cleaned up and soon, I'm gonna share with you what I've bought during these 2 months yeah!
Till then bitches!

Impulsive-ness

Hey guys!
I'm so thrilled that I've finally gotten my salary!
Now I have to wait another month to get more money sigh, but I can finally do some shopping!
I really have to control how i spend my money as i tend to splurge alot and sometimes I don't think before I buy something.
After that, i ended up regretting what I bought and the item ends up in the bin.
So my advice to people out there is that 
If you don't know whether to buy it or not, don't buy it.
The item will always be in the shop, waiting for your presence again.
I did some shopping recently and I bought a couple of items.
While the brother was learning how to wear his contacts in the optical shop on Sunday, I left for Cotton On since I was pretty bored at Tampinies Mall and I wanted to check out some of the clothes there.
I was quite happy that a sale was going on there and scored a printed tee that reads 'Young, Wild and Free' and a pair of red polka dotted shorts for about 25 bucks.
I wanted to get some cute stickers so I went to popular and The Paper Stone to hunt for some.
Guess what I saw when I entered popular
THE WANTED'S WORD OF MOUTH!!!
I literally went bonkers once I saw it and I told myself that I do not need to go all the way to Marina just to get the album and since I can get it from Tampines with member's discount,why not?:)
I was thinking why it was so pricey($20.95 before discount),until I found out that I actually bought the deluxe edition.
Well I did not regret buying it at all as all the songs in that album were amazing and I can't help but put it on constant replay.
This morning, VS was having a $2 discount on all the body mists from Qoo10 and I wanted to get Pretty In Pink.
However, the system rejected my order when I was about to place it and when I wanted to replace my order again, Pretty In Pink was sold out what luck.
I ended up buying my cute stickers for $5, and I ended up spending less money in the end which is a plus too!
During work today, I went to the airport's perfume shop and whilst looking around the VS compartment, I chanced upon a box set consisting bombshell, victoria, noir tease and dream angels heavenly.
I've smelled and loved the first 3 stated scents,but I'm also hoping that the latter smells nice too!:)
I kinda bought it on impulse, as I didn't really care about having to pay an extra 7% for it.
Its way more affordable($60) when I buy it as a set than if I buy it individually($88)
I mean, look at the price difference I can buy so many things using $28(9 bags of Haribo candy LOL)
Okay time for me to sleep now and I really pray that the odds are in my favor.
Life is imperfect and not all aspects of life are in the world of sunshine and rainbows.
Whatever course that I get into, I thank God for setting this path of life for me and I'm willing to work hard in order to achieve a bright future for myself.
Till then,
xx
P.S. Good Luck to all those who are getting their posting results at 9am tomorrow!:)
