Tag : Shopping Tips

Opps...i think this time i am gonna get an "F" for this tag which was given to me by Joyce & Happypig. I am not a SHOPPING PERSON.

The 2 main reasons are :

1. With Anthea and Anders tagging along with me all the while, i have no chance to shop for anything. The only place that i can shop with them is NTUC or any supermarkets.

2. Time is very precious to me and i find shopping a waste of time... : P Unless really necessary, then i will shop with objective.

~ Start copy ~
It’s very simple. When you receive this tag, copy the whole list and add your own shopping tip to the bottom and pass it on.


1. Wear comfy clothing when you’re shopping. You don’t wanna fuss with too many laces and buttons when you’re trying clothes on. http://rinnah-marketplace.blogspot.com

2. When buying pants or jeans, try to try them on with a pair of heels so you know its the right length. If you don’t and wear it with heels later, you might find that it hangs at an awkward length. http://www.all-aboutshopping.com

3. Don’t just buy a designer brand because everyone has it or just to show it off. The best way of dressing is how to make a 50 bucks outfit looks like it worths more than 500 bucks. My Fashion World

4. Don’t wait until sales if you really like that particular piece of dress or shoes, as your size could be sold out sooner than you realized. Just buy if you really like it, cause there is nothing much we can do once it’s gone, especially when you shop abroad. Everyday health and beauty

5. Buy something that can mix and match with the rest of your wardrobe, or something that can adjust to your body size as you change. That will make sure you get more mileage for your purchase. Just My Tots.

6. Don’t shop alone. There is a possibility that you might spend more than you expected. MamaTang’s Tip.

7. Shop on weekdays to prevent the crowd and shop want you need so that to prevent overspending. Joyce

8. When you see something you like, try to resist digging out your wallet instantaneously. Walk away for a while (or even wait till your next shopping trip) and if you cannot get the item out of your mind even when it is out of your sight, revisit the shop to confirm you REALLY like it before you buy it. This would minimise your implusive buying. -- Angelcow

9.Getting hold of VIP's card is so important. Why pay the full price when someone else is paying 10-15% lower than you for the same item?--happypig

10. Don't waste time...hee - Astee

Tag : An Idol You Were Really Crazy About When You Were In Your Teens..

Wow...teacher Angie is giving me more "tag-work" after i scored A++ on one of my TAG..hee : )

Well, since it is now raining at lunch time and no where to go, might as well finished my tag fast, so i can "tag-it-forward", otherwise everytime get tagged last, nobody to tag liao.. : P

I was young once and in those good old days, i had so many idols but my all time-favorite is none other than the Diva - MADONNA.

During those days, Tea Dances were our regular frequent places on weeekends. Also many birthdays parties held either at friends house or HDB Area office Multi purposes hall. Needless to say, i grooved whenever i am at these places.

The DJ will always played MADONNA songs, withour failed. Those days, her Hits were so many - Into the Groove, Crazy for You, Like A Prayer, True Blue, Like A Virgin, Material Girl, Borderline, Who's that Girl, VOUGUE...and many many more.

VOUGUE is one of the song i like most because we always mimmicked her ACT when she sings:

"Ladies with an attitude,

Fellows that were in the mood

Don't just stand there,

let's get to it

Strike a pose, there's nothing to it

Vogue, vogue.
(At this point, must STRIKE A POSE...action action..)


Now, i will like to know your teenage IDOLs:

Tag : 任意门

This tag is a very creative one by Angie and i need to take a few days to ponder over it before deciding on the place that i want to be.


******************Start Copy******************
1. Dokodemo Door (任意门) literally means "Anywhere Door", and is a gadget that is often used by Doraemon and his friends, which allows the users to travel to anywhere simply by walking through the door.


2. Strictly speaking, the dokodemo door doesn't allow the user to travel to other dimensions or fantasy worlds, in this tag the taggee is free (and encouraged) to choose your favourite place from any world that exists in any books or movies, fiction or otherwise.


3. Choose your desired destination that you'd like the dokodemo door to bring you to, and indicate why you'd like to go there.


4. Forward this tag to whoever you'd like to extend this magical journey to.

TAG : FOUR ...

I was tag by Idy of IT family on this tag.

Four jobs I have had in my life:


- Inbound Travel Executive ( Love this job as i get to know many local Chinese tour guides and they were really a very fun bunch.)


- Airline Reservation Sales Agent (1st time travelled to the USA)

- Vacation Consultant with a Timeshare exchange company (Get to know more about resorts exchange for timesharing and vacationing on such perks)


- Training Coordinator ( related to airline industry - 1st time traveled on Business Class to Switzerland for meeting)

Four places I have lived:


- Sembawang "Chong Pang" - Landed property "rental a unit for household of 6 people".


- Ang Mo Kio 3-room flat - Parents place


- Ang Mo Kio 5-room flat - My elder brother place, with my parents


- Ang Mo Kio 4-room flat - My own Home Sweet Home


(It says 4 places so not neccessary must be overseas...hee : )


Four Countries I have been to on vacation:


- USA ( LA, Las Vegas, San Francisco and Michigan - 1st time seeing the Niagara Falls)

- Europe ( London, Paris and Switzerland)


- Hong Kong


- Australia (Perth & Melbourne)


Four of my favorite foods:


- Dad's Hainanese Chicken rice


- Dad's home-made chicken pie


- Dad's home cooked oxtails stews


- Dad's roasted Beef


Four places I would rather be right now:


- Farm stay in Perth with the family and letting the children experience the magical of star watching at night and milking the cow or feeding the Kangaroos


- Shopping in Hong Kong, the last trip i went in March 2007 was catered specially for Anthea, so there was no shopping on my agenda...pity hor.


- Al-fresco dining along the Street of Paris. In Singapore, it's just impossible to dine outside as it is 90% Hot & Humid, so won't enjoy. We drank kopi while we were in Paris along the street, it was simply relaxing and enjoyable.


- Honestly, there is no other places that i will like to be in, other than the comfort of my own HOME Sweet Home...as what Kit Chan sang in the NDP theme song :


This is Home, truly
Where I know I must be
Where my dreams wait for me
Where that river always flows
This is home, surely
As my senses tell me
This is where I won't be alone
For this is where I know it's home

(so patriotics...haha...anyway, National Day is just round the corner, can't help it.)


Ps: Wishing all a Happy National Day.





Remember The Apache will Salute the Nation... : )

TAG: My 7 Vanity Sense Facts


You Are 27% Vain




Okay, so you're slightly vain from time to time, but you're not superficial at all.
You are realistic. You know that looks matter. You just try to make them matter less.





I was tagged by LZmommy and i find this to be an interesting tag. Well, did my result surprises me...hmm...not at all.


Since having children, i find myself becoming more & more "ah-soh". If not because of my beautiful Sister In-law aka Eve and Sensual future Sister In-law aka Cherry, i think i would have scored a clean 0%.


Well, when we go out on our usual weekends dinners, i would try my best to keep up with the family image. Even my Mother in Law dresses better and uses more expensive cosemetic than me ...... : P
Okay, here goes 7 facts on me:


1. I used make-up everyday as i goes to work. Basic powder with SPF, lipstick and a bit of blusher.

2. I love to shop for clothings, however, my clothings are those cheap stuff from HDB market or shops, no big names or branded stuff. Like what people says: You are what you wear. (Chinese says: "吃不到葡萄说葡萄酸"...hee)



3. I used to do facial every 2 - 3 months, sad to say, the last time i visited my beautician was "i can't even remember"...geez...my face must be full of God knows what...).

4. I would like to use skin care products but till today i am just using Hazelin snow cream. 哪个女人不爱美 but 1 small bottle of those good skin care product cost almost $100. I know i can put this $100 to better uses...hee : ) I will stick to my affordable skincare product.
5. I have been going to the same hair salon for almost a decade. I try to make it an effort to visit the salon every 3 months because my hair is really thick and it grow really fast. Now my salon even provide 2 way transfers, so if i am at work and need a quick fix, i can just give them a call. There is no excuse of not going to the hair salon.


6. I have gained some GOOD weights since childbirth. After exercising for a year, i mananged to return to some GOOD shapes, not ideal yet. Now that the gym near my workplace is closed, i am doing swimming once a week. I really hope to strike a BIG lottery ticket/toto/4D whatever and the 1st thing on my list is - LIPOSUCTION. I want to wear M or L size clothings again. Now i am always looking at XL/XXL...which is so depressing.


7. I love swimming but being conservative or rather "oversized/overweight", my swimming costume is one of those old-fashioned swimsuit. If point 6 comes true, then i will be able to shop for Bikinis...haha. Who am i kidding, "ah-soh" wears bi-ki-nis. For my next "bonus", i want to invest in a nice swim wear but NOT bikinis lah.

Who should i tag...another BIG challenge:

1. Idy

2. Eve

Tag: 7 Random Things About Myself

I've been tagged by LZmommy on this topic. I will give it a go..

1. My most memorable trip is my Honeymoon to Europe (Switzerland, Paris & London) in June 2000. We had a Top Class tour leader and he made the trip most unforgettable.

2. I Love my dad's home-baked chicken pie the best.

3. I hate cockroaches.

4. I love baking cake / cookies. (Bad news is my oven seem to be out of order - always burnt my bakings.)

5. I would love to bring my children to go for oversea trips. So far, we had gone to KL as a family & with Anthea to Hong Kong.

6. Now, i can't afford to be sick because i am the 'pillar' of the house. So i will try my best to be strong & healthy. Eat well and rest well.

7. I Love my family and i know without them, there is no colors in my life.

Now that i have done this, i know the next part will be difficult as my link of blogging mummies/daddies are limited... : P

Let see what the following say of themselves:

- Jean

- Kevin

Tag: The meaning of Anthea and Anders's Names

I'm tagged by Jean on the meaning of our children names.

Well, this will be an easier tag for me to start with. So here it goes and for record, as this is my 1st attempt to a tag, should there be an unforeseen 'mistake', please excuse me... : P

When Adrian and myself started to chose our children names, the options are quite simple:

1. It must start with an A
2. It must be at least 2 syllabus names, adrian find that it is hard to call a single syllabus name.

So with these 2 options in mind, we started to look around bookshop for Baby namers reference books.

ANTHEA Tan I-Yu (陈艾妤) : Anthea - a 3-syllable girl's name of Greek origin, means: Flower.

Anthea's due date was in the month of April which symbolised spring when Flowers bloom. Also being a girl, we hope that she will be Blessed with good natures and inner beauty.

When i chanced upon this name, i knew it was a perfect match.

ANDERS Tan Yong Xue (陈勇学): Anders - a 2-syllable unisex name of Greek/Germanic origin, means: Manly; strong.

For Anders, when i was about 6 weeks expecting him, my gynae told me that i may had a miscarriage. I was totally devasted. I went for a 2nd opinion and thankfully, we saw his heartbeat. From then onward, everything went on smoothly.

When we saw the meaning of Anders, we knew it was meant for him because Adrian said he was a warrior and fight to survive.

As for both their chinese names are given by a Feng Shui master according to their 生辰八字 .

As parents, we want them to have a good name that can bring out their character and of course, a good life ahead.


Confusion says: "if names be not correct, language accords not with truth."

For the fun of it, I’m going to tag Louis & Eve, Eileen,Nellie , Joyce & PM.

I would like to know the meaning of your child and do it only when you have the time. No problem if you do not want to this is of no obligation .
