For a moment I have forgotten this little space of mine... have the urge to stop blogging completely because I am like 80% lazy most of the time. But this domain is very precious to me so I guess, I will just try my best to keep it alive for now...
Ever since the 1st confirmed case of Swine Flu in Hong Kong, almost 40% of the people I see on the street (especially non-locals) are wearing mask these days. I am not sure if it's being too kiasu by doing so but we tried to look for mask over the weekend but failed to stock up any. It's practically out of stock everywhere! Since the Husband's office is giving out some to their staffs so I ask him to bring 1 or 2 back home just in case. :P
Labour Day started quite sadly with one of my guppy passed away...
I have been keeping 10 guppies for almost half year already... and to me is a great deal since my metality is that guppies doesn't have a long lifespan... But the night before, I found this smallest one swimming on it's side way. It's kind shocking because during the day, all 10 of them are acting as per normal and active. I am not sure what's the cause of it but my guess is bladder disorder.
My landlord was over at our place the other day and she ask us why we kept 10 instead of 9 because 9 fishes in Fengshui bring good luck to the one living in the house. I never thought that keeping fish will give me luck at the 1st place so I can't really be bothered about the number of fishes in my tank. On the positive side, maybe the guppy overhead what the landlord said and sacrifice itself to give us a better fengshui. :(
In the afternoon, we had high tea @ Yung Kee with the Husband's ex-colleagues who came over to Hong Kong for vacation. I always like to see how happy the Hubby is when his friends visit him in Hong Kong. We had a great time catching up with great company over great food.
On Sunday, I went to the Rilakkuma store to collect the stuff I pre-ordered. Wanted to get more of the earphone but was told it's out of stock everywhere even in Japan. The shop wasn't able to cover all their pre-ordered list and I was lucky to be the 1st few who pre-ordered. Glad that Tricia got hers and I regretted not pre-ordering mine together with hers too. And sorry babe, that I can't get more for your friends...
Remember I bought the SD-card holder too?
Instead of putting SD cards inside (which I don't need another pouch since my camera pouch have extra compartment), I store all my amulet with me...
Not sure if everyone does that but I have the habit of carrying all different kind of amulet with me when I go travelling or whatever else that need "protection" and luck.
Everything inside was bought by my Mum for me. :) And I like how the clasp on the pouch can hook onto my 虎眼 bracelet.
One last thing before I go...
Finally we are going for our long await honeymoon to..........
T O K Y O! Omg my land of Rilakkuma! I MUST TAKE PICTURE WITH HIM!
From 14th-20th June. I am so looking forward to it! <3
Count down to our wedding: 19 days!

Wah lau... this really set my heart racing. Just started packing my bags with stuffs that we are supposed to bring back. Everyday dump abit of things inside just in case we miss out anything. Gotta bring back the entire stack of left over invites as my in laws have to give out the rest by hands. Sigh.
To deal with stress, retail theraphy just have to continue. :P I just track my items and 2 out of 3 package of my spree items are in Singapore. Guess they should be able to reach me when I am back in Singapore!
Finally gotten my panda trucker cap!
Been searching for it everywhere. The shop in HK ran out of size and YesStyle.com took a long time to restock. Anyway the wait is worth while. I love it to bits! Can bring it to our honeymoon liao!
Was shopping with the husband at Fa Yuen St. and chance upon this pair of pumps. Too cute to resist la!
It should be rat right? Not rabbit hor?
Finally managed to get the automatic feeder for the guppies. Although i read that they can go food-less for 2 weeks but that bear the thought of not feeding them la. What if they start snipping each other's tails?!
Quite funny at how they recognise feeding time. When they see me near the tank, they will start to go crazy jumping up and down. I suspect if I leave the cover open, they will sure jump out of the tank lor.
The husband have to go for his haircut this weekend before the wedding. Damn vain boy la. Spend more time infront of the mirror than me. Can't wait to snip off my hair after our big day. I get so sick and tired of long hair especially when i am suffering from bad hair fall. I think i will go botak in no time. Damn scary leh.
I JUST HAVE TO TALK ABOUT THIS.
It's a known fact that I have zero tolerance to plagiarism. Yet again and again its happening around me.
It's amusing when people copy my blog entries. Not like it's well written la. Plus so many gammer mistakes! Want to copy also check the grammer la... it's so boring lor. Talking about my daily life. My husband is not your husband. My name is Anne and yours is not.
BUT it's not funny when you copy someone's copyrighted work. Especially lyrics. I once caught someone copying my lyrics without citing me as the original author. But this person realise her mistakes and mend her ways. I appreciate that.
But then I met this another girl, who I really hate describing as shameless, just couldn't stop doing it, copying, plagiarizing, stealing someone elses work.
I 1st found her copying my entries, my love "poem" which I painstakingly wrote for my husband years back (original ones okie?! i didn't google and copy and paste leh). Then I confronted her, ON MY BLOG. After which she deleted it.
Then when the husband proposed to me, she will tell me that her bf proposed too and getting married. Of course I will give her my blessing. (But everyone knows her dark secret.....)
Then whenever I said I wanted to get something, she also say she want to buy, or already bought it.
THEN now I am a lyricist, she also wants to be one!
Are you a major fan of mine?
If YOU really wants to be a lyricist, go ahead. I won't stop you. But if you openly declare that you are one, and posting all your work in your blog and forums, you have to be really careful.
All your so-called works are not yours. Not a single one for godsake. You got them from all different Taiwan aspiring songwriters forums and sites, thinking that no one will find out. Claiming that those are your works? WRONG MOVE.
Every single piece of work have copyright belongs to the original writers or their publishing house. For example like mine which belongs to Warner and COMPASS helps to keep track of copyright needs.
If you dare to copy and claim those are yours, you gonna prepare to get sued big time if they decided to go after you.
Songwriters circle is rather small. Most of them know each other so such news travels faster than fire. What you're doing now is just trying to get yourself burnt. Thou I heard the original sources are looking into this matter, I am not sure if legal actions will be taken. So I hope this is a good lesson to everyone.
Everyone work very hard to achive what they have today. Including songwriters. Who likes to have their work copied and claim credits by others? It took me years to get to where I am now. Don't you dare to think that CTRL C + CTRL V can get you anywhere.
Do whatever you like, but don't get caught. Then again, the internet? Nothing is a secret.......... google is your best friend. But it will hurt you too... heh heh heh.
23 days...

to our wedding. Quite insane right? Less than a month lor!
Anyway the wedding site is finally up and running after much procrastination. Sometimes I really felt so lazy that I can feel juices oozing out from my skin. Grr.
Last Tuesday was Chung Yeung Festival, which is HK's public holiday. But sometimes I really hate PH because the crowd here can get totally out of control. Then again, a full day with the husband can never get better.
We had a tourist day on Tuesday. Went shopping at IFC mall (husband bought magazines only), took a ferry (1.70HKD ONLY!) from Central to TST and continue to shop. SOGO having 1 day sales and Longchamp long handle le pliage going for 50% off (109SGD!). Bought a red one. How to resist such sales man. Should have bought one more for Sister. But I think I can pass mine to her la. I don't have so many hands to use so many bags also. Haha.
Wanted to get a new wallet because mine finally gave way. But I am very particular about the design so it always take a long time for me to decide. I love the lv damier koala wallet thou but I doubt I will ever bear to part that huge some of money just for a wallet. Aiyo I can buy a new gadget with that sum of money! Maybe can try the Katespade outlet at Tung Chung this weekend. I am sure I can find very good deals!
After walking round and round in TST, we finally found Tin Cheung, the famous camera shop in HK, and pop in to look for 5Dmki. The price is pretty good but it's a grey set... Hope I have that kind of money to get one for Husband's birthday. The poor boy have been so in love with 5D for a long time. Hope his dream will come true soon!
Oh, Tin Cheung have an amazing collection of 2nd hand cameras lor. They even have Contax 640 but selling at the rocket high price of 3k SGD! I think can get one at a lower price from ebay. Plus the outlook condition is quite unbearable. So no point.
Did I mention before I love the Giordano in HK? Their collect looks really classy and nice! Unlike Singapore ones which look really casual. I think I have spent most in Giordano here. Haha... but imagine I can get 6 pieces of outfit with just SGD100 lor. So wu hua!
Last weekend we add another 6 guppies and 1 dwarf sucker catfish to our mini aquarium. Now we have yellow, red and blue guppies. But one blue died few days back and our one and only catfish passed away yesterday. Sigh.
I think it's because my tank is too clean and no algae for it to feed on... should have bought spinach earlier on to feed it. :( It has been a really good tank mate...
Weekends are over...

Once again, I am suck into the "beauty" of online shopping. This time round, also the benefit of free shipping within US. How can I not love Vpost?
YesStyle(they take FOREVER to ship my items!), Forever21, Victoria's Secret, Wetseal... I think i am going crazy.
The other day, the Hubby ordered VS's stuff for me. One bride tanktop, one bride cute undies and a set of bikini. Guess what? The bottom of the bikini I chose M instead because that's the size of bikini bottom I always got from Singapore. But when the items came 2 days ago, I got a shock of my life. It's... HUGE. Can fit a L... or perhaps a XL lor. UGH.
Anyone willing to take over? Item here. I am willing to let go at the original price minus the shipping cost and throw in a free postage. :) Bottom only hor!
Not sure how long the items will reach me via Vpost la but hopefully it will be there when I am back to Singapore for wedding preparation. ^^
Weekend flew by again! Can't believe how fast it went by. I procrastinate again and delayed my ID card application. The immigration closes at 1230pm on Sat but I really want to stay longer in bed leh. And I feel bad if I were to drag the hubby off the bed with me also. Sigh. I will try to do it by next week!
For consecutive 2 days we had dim-sum for 2 days, skipping breakfast and lunch. :P Normally our meals range about SGD10-20 per meal for 2 pax ma so eating the dim-sum which cost us about SGD40 is more worth it this way. Hee
My hubby looks like stuffed hamster. I can see that he is enjoying this hongkonger lifestyle... eating dim-sum and reading magazine at the same time. I love the XO chili Carrotcake!
Saturday after dim-sum, we made our way down to Mongkok and look for the walking kuma toy which my sister told me about. So excited when I found it!
Such a darling right? Took a video of it walking too. Hee.
I LOVE KUMA!!!! MUAK!
After buying kuma, we went to Sim City (hk version of sim lim square) and look for my film scanner. No sight of it! Infact I didn't get to see ANY flat bed scanner. I wonder could it be the whole HK only sells multi-function printer. Sigh. Maybe I should get it in Singapore instead.
From Mongkok to Prince, we decided to get new fishies for our tank. Found this shop managed by 2 ladies, they really maintain their tanks very well. Fishes looks healthy, water looks clean. Although the price is a little higher...(compared to those selling 20HKD for 4 fishes in a sealed packet) we bought red and blue guppies. 70HKD for 10 of them. Wanted to get the black with white dots fish but we don't know what breed they are and unsure if they are hardy enough for beginners like us...
Bought a small plant for the tank too. Still contemplating about getting a catfish to suck up the waste of the guppies... maybe we will get it tomorrow!
Caught Eagle Eye yesterday. Great show and I love Michelle Monaghan! I think she is "hawt".
Happy Birthday to you, Evonne aka ling aka lingahger! :)
