I'm Back.. Shortly.

ULTRA HEAVILY PHOTO LOADED ENTRY.
PLEASE BE PATIENT WITH THE LOADING,
OR GET BETTA INTERNET CONNECTION =X

wanted to post a detailed post of the last weekend which comprised of:
Anniversary Celebration at Ritz Carlton
New handphone with 3.2megapixel camera
Cleo Girl Search Makeover Photoshots

haa. but end up going kbox to celebrate raine's birthday with raine n ting x)
then when i came back, met huiling online n we chatted on the phone like we always did in primary school time haha. chatted until her cordless house phone battery flat then we stop haha. will be meeting her tml to catch up more x)

anyways, i'll try n blog as much as i can lolx.

for the anniversary at ritz carlton, not much pictures were taken due to my cookie's unphotography-friendly nature haha. cos his parents love photography, in fact they got together bcos of this interest, so when he young time they brought him around, took loads of pictures.. so these yrs, he don't really like to take picture. and he rather us be enjoying the moment n keep it in memory, then to waste time n effort getting it onto paper which is pretty pointless to him =/

anyways, we met around 7pm+ at marina sq.. cos the previous day we went double o with jingyang n lydia, pretty tired. so we only left his home bout 3pm. i went home to get my stuffs, and he went to check in first.

then we bought this CD with all the nice romantic mood songs to play with his laptop later on at the hotel room, cos we figured that it would be rather creepy if we juz go n its like all quiet LoL.

then we had dinner at the Green House, the international buffet.

i brought 2 dresses for that dinner =_=
cos i would very much like to wear the one that amos bought me.. but the collar detail a bit exaggerated leh.. amos found it simple yet classy enough to wear to dinner, but i was afraid that it is too elaborated.. so in the end, i wore my ultimate-all-occasions-pink-corduroy-tube-dress.

the dinner was $130+ ... a bit ex for a pretty rushed buffet dinner.. though the things served were pretty good =] like this grilled lobster, dozen of oysters, sharkfin with crab soup etc. the part i look forward to most were the desserts =D i had this really really damn nice pink guava mousse cake OMG. i can still remember the taste on my tongue now as i type x) and the chocolates OMG. and the tiny green tea pudding omg the serving is damn cute can. it comes in this little machiam sauce plate thingy.. den on top is a tiny 2cm tall pudding with a blueberry and a strawberry with it. the match n serving juz nice.. i shall do it one day.

cos the dinner bill was supposed to be added onto our room bill, so amos thought we can juz walk off when its fireworks time. then he keep insisting we can. -_- with my professionalism~ i noe that is not rite hahaha. but we were not the only table that thought so. apparently another table walked off too haha. then a gal chase after. they pretty laggy lor, so we told the restaurant recept that we gotta go, can they juz add to our room. its like 5mins to the firework lor. then they took a min [felt like a decade since i was worried bout missing the fireworks] to get us the bill to sign to acknowledge.

i was a little disappointed with them.. cos during our service marketing project this semester, we were supposed to use the service standards of ritz carlton as a benchmark to set the service standards for a mock integrated resort hotel supposedly to be in sentosa IR. i expected them to be much more professional than to be mingling amongst themself in btwn the customers' tables and the buffet tables in the restaurant.. =/ and wadz worse was, when the blur customer [i dunno if is purposely la but shouldnt be la] walk off without signing the bill, the reception is like a classroom length away from my table, the staff chase all the way there, i saw her scurrying over, not sure later on the voice is came from reception area or mayb somewhere nearer to me, but either way its not rite.

wad happened was that i heard staff saying, loud enough that i can hear, how the customer never pay and just walk out.

hello~ be it the customer walk out run out wadever, ur hotel promises to treat guests as ladies and gentlemen, by your ladies and gentlemen. so be it in wadever case, before u confirm the matter, u should still be politely saying something like:

sorry sir, i need your assistance in signing this bill to acknowledge it in your
room bill

but my goodness. embarassing the guest in that manner..

of cos that was juz a tinny-winny bit of the unpleasant stuff.. 87% was cool. i so wish i can join their crew and learn from them.. when they meet u in the hallway, they greet you with a smile so sincere lidat lor. not like the usual plastic ones sometimes dun even hav eye contact with u~ like say thank u to u but lookin at ur money~ more like saluting your $$$. and the way the front desk lady had a casual little chat with us while the slow coach machine print our invoice.. its really heartwarming and sincere. =) i dunno if its being typical singaporean or wad, but i cant help but doubt if anyone can be this sincere n putting this effort to be really warm to a stranger.. mean like, if its some of these staffs who has this really big heart, and wants to make the guests feel at home, yea, that i can understand.. but having 87% of the staffs lidat wor.. amazing hor?

got 2 other not so pleasant incident during the stay at ritz carlton though. but i think i prefer to skip those for now =D

nex would be getting a new mobile phone!

on saturday when we checked out of ritz carlton, we had lunch at kenny roger, and walked around a little bit, when amos suddenly pop the topic jokingly saying:

dear lets go get ur new handphone.

wa =D i ask if he serious, then he say hmm lets go find a shop n see lor.

den end up the dealer at marina sq the offer not very suitable for me =] so we took cab to bugis junction cos we got loads of things at hand.. then we went M1 shop =D

till the last moment when we sat at the counter, actually we were still not confirmed that we wan buy HAa! cos halley say the phone software not very stable n price mite drop, other than camera, the other functions nth special, n the video is laggy. so i was thinking lorx. then amos say its alrite if i won't regret. then i weight the pros n cons n decided that it is really ok to buy. x)

i super like this phone lor! its actually more like i got a camera with phone features LOL.
3.2megapixel using cybershot technology, with many functions of a digicam like auto-focus and the ultra power flash lor.

okie here comes some pictures!

then me n jieying went for the cleo cover girl search makeover roadshow at citylink on sunday =D initially we went becos we interested in the makeover, professional photo and the goodie pack which is really goodie =D things like miniatures of: anna sui liquid and powder foundation, dolly girl on the beach perfume, hugo purple perfume, clairol hair protection and styling range of product; and a $30 no minimum purchase redeemable voucher of anna sui, complimentary makeover at anna sui, $10 SK voucher (=.=), 1 year free membership at espirit with 10% discount all yr, and birthday discounts etc; a espirit cap, hmmm about there le.

actually i got take photo of all the items in the goodie pack.. but i accidentally deleted all this morning T.T

i exchanged my $30 voucher for a $32 anna sui eye shadow =D

anyways, me and jieying decided to go together last month when we saw the ad on cleo, so we called and booked appointment for us two x) then when we went down, cos we were pretty shy cos we not very the type of model face n body n height u see.. lol. so we pretty shy, didnt tell much ppl, she didnt even tell her bf n her mum LOL until after we did it.

when we reach there and queueing for to change into the espirit tops for photo taking, i looked towards the queue of girls waiting to take photo.. then i saw this girl wearing a dress i tink nice.. so i asked jieying to see too.. at first i see the girl face i tot she look like my last boss, chen yen LOL. jieying also didnt realise at first glance LOL. she stare a while, then the girl stare back a while, then they realise whom each other is =_=... anyways, that was celestine haha.
