Gawd, I'm like so done for.

WTF, my driving practical test is on Friday and I only just went into the circuit last Friday! Where got enough practice liddat? And somemore I'm like using the "private" circuit instead of BBDC's circuit cos' you gotta book waaaayyy in advance to use it, although it costs a hell lot more.

No fair, now I know why people who enroll as students at BBDC have a higher passing rate. Watever, I'll make full use of the next two nights' lessons to practice, practice and PRACTICE! I'm literally shitting in my pants now and I'm trying to forget Friday exists.

I must be a damn good actress cos' my instructor keeps thinking that I'm like si beh steady and he keeps saying that I drive like I confirm will pass. Hah! If only he knew, anyway, keeping my fingers crossed and hopin' for the best.

Anyway, to borrow a Mandarin saying: 船到桥头自然直, and if I dun pass this time, it just shows I need more practice, hahaha...

And when all else fails, praying always helps!

Hihi... it's been a hectic time, adapting to a new environment and meeting new challenges, but I'm happy to say I'm slowly adjusting.

We also have a new addition to the family which has been keeping us busy. Will tell you guys about it soon, haven't had time to take pics to compose a good blog entry, muahaha...

On to a more light-hearted topic, a fellow colleague asked me this question on Friday: "What do you spend on most?" Well, I would have to say my greatest vices are, SHOES, BAGS, CLOTHES, BOOKS and MAKE-UP in that order, hahaha.

On last count, I think I had about 38 pairs of footwear, including flip-flops and my birkies, yes, TWO of my birkies. But since this is not very recent, you are right in thinking this number has gone up!

Imelda Marcos in the making, hmmm.... not a very good comparison, read a recent article in the news that she's in financial difficulties. Anyway, back to my shoe collection.

Remember that scene in Sex and the City where Mr Big shows Sarah Jessica Parker THE dream wardrobe with that to-die-for pair of Manolo Blaniks? Yes, that is MY dream wardrobe too, cos' I simply have no more space for any more shoes!

Warning from Fussy about my shoe fetish: Make sure you can keep all your shoes in the shoe cabinet, otherwise you can forget about buying more. *Guilty smirk* Keke, I have ALMOST reached my space limit.

To illustrate my ALMOST lack of space, you may feast your eyes on my modest collection:


























Hahaha, as they say: A picture speaks a thousand words. Proof enough that I love my shoes? But I dun pay more than SGD15 per pair, courtesy of Mondo and Charles and Keith's outlet store at Anchorpoint. Amazed at my nose for sniffing out good buys?

And this is Ace, looking disappointed among his favourite chew "toys", wishing he can sink his teeth into them:





Random silly moment with my favourite companion:



I know lar, very tak glam, but this is the real ME! And I can't remember when these were taken as well, just found them in the camera. And please dun ask me what I was trying to do to him, cos' I really dunno...

Dat's all folks, check back for updates soon... Ciaozzzz...

Heya, I noe I have not updated in a long while.

Let's just say it has been a pretty tough time. Hence, I have taken this time to reflect on my own thoughts and actions and I realise I have been taking too many things for granted.

I have been this proud conceited peacock, and I have gotten too big for my own boots. Life has a strange way of teaching you lessons, and I guess I'm resigned to learning mine the hard way.

Based on my previous posts, friends have been very concerned for my marriage. I thank you all from the bottom of my heart, but do not worry. I have thought things over and I am now learning to see things from a different perspective.

In this trying time, my husband has been my silent pillar of strength and support, and for that I am very grateful. Once again, life is showing me that I have not made a wrong choice and I have been too demanding in my expectations of him.

I'm happy to say that things have settled down, and I'm re-learning to appreciate all the simple things in life again.

Sounds so cheem right? Due to confidentiality agreements I have signed, I can't go into detail.

But let's just say, Life dealt me a hard blow, I stumbled and I fell, flat on my face. I would say, this blow came at the right time.

I could have sat there to cry and complain and to put the blame on the world, but myself. But this blow made me sit down to think and reflect, and that's what I have done.

Through this ordeal, it has made me learn to appreciate life again and not take things for granted. Right now, I'm slowly recovering from my stumble, and taking baby steps again in what I hope to be the right direction that life wants me to take.
