Back to work...

Sigh...I had to go to work again today after a nice long break...and it was absolutely dreadful...I was so depressed...I almost felt like crying the moment I stepped out of the house...bleh. Then I had over 300 emails to clear...and the whole day just dragged on and on...:(..I suppose the only thing which sorta made my day were these gifts which were placed on my table...hehe belated Christmas gifts apparently...I didn't even know who sent me some of those gifts...like I got this weird long black thing...it was kinda gaudy...I have absolutely no idea what it is...I figured it could be a necklace...or a chunky bracelet... or a weird flimsy belt...or perhaps even some sorta funky head ornament thing! hehe..then I got a pair of earrings too...black pearls...those were kinda pretty..and I also got some Disney candy...Daisy Duck! ohh...and chocolates too! yummy. white chocolate even..nice. :)) And after work I went home...got changed and went out again to Tampines Mall to send Ar for piano class...we saw Ms Pang and she even asked how you were Nene!...she's still sweet...Ma and me both thought she looked like Suhailin though!

Anyway, yesterday was a better day....I spent the entire day with Mel...and it was fun...hehe we didn't actually do that much...just walked around and ate a lot..hehe I felt so gemukkkk. We started the day at the newly re-opened National Museum...didn't actually see anything though...cause it was still early and we went for breakfast first...which took around 3 hours :D We both had french toast...mine was just plain but I was a bit annoyed cause they sprinkled cinnamon!...but thankfully it wasn't too bad...Mel had some caramelised bananas on her toast I think...After that it was off to the Art Museum...and then we had Nasi Padang at Suntec City for lunch cause we both suddenly had a weird craving for eggplant...hehe then after that we had dessert too...macadamia cheesecake and some chocolate cake they called 'booboo'...and lastly we went on a hunt for this much raved about Japanese chocolate store called 'Royce' :)) Pictures and descriptions below...hehe we really just kept eating the whole day...tsk tsk tsk..

Chocolate potato chips and some yummy pralines.

Posing with our chocolate potato chips...sounds weird but it actually tasted pretty good!

Cakes at NYDC

Breakfast at TCC.

Hm...getting a bit tired now...its 1am...perhaps I should try to get some sleep...till then...

Hi Nene...I took these pics earlier and i'm uploading them especially for you...in case you happen to miss all these local things too. :)

Enjoy!

a r l i n

Mel is in town!

So this won't be such a long one...cause for some reason, I feel extremely exhausted :(....anyway, Mel's in town...and we met up yesterday for dinner...we had Thai at the Esplanade and we'll probley be doing dinner again today...hehe that's all we ever do...eat :p It was nice seeing her again cause the last time we saw each other was last year when I went to visit her. She actually has permed hair now and I just did the rebonding thing...hehe complete opposites eh!

She got me a gift too from Sydney...that was very sweet of her...it was a pair of earrings...i'll upload a pic so you can see Nene :)

I think i'm gonna get some rest now...sigh...will write more when I can.

Arlin

My turn my turn!

My turn my turn!

Okay first up, I forgot to add the link to my pics so here it is: http://www.imagestation.com/album/pictures.html?id=2097031380
I know I already sent you guys the link through your e-mails but if you didn't get it, it's good that it's here now then.

Ohh another thing I ought to mention before I forget. You know our blog address right? Sretsis. Well I came up with it of course and for those who are clueless, it's sisters spelled backwards. Well anyways, I googled the word, and it turns out that it's a famous Thai designer brand. It's in Vogue and everything and I think even Paris and Nicky have been wearing it around. Cool eh? http://www.sretsis.com/ Eh next time one of us goes to Thailand must check it out.

Now I'm gonna add some pics to this post too because it's boring to just read lots of words without images. So here comes one. Okay I've been trying to add pics but they keep coming out right on top before the title. I want them to come here, right after this paragraph. So annoying. Oh well, nevermind then. So the first pic is of Arnee and me taken quite a while back now. We were at the Esplanade. Ar looks so small and cute there. Aww miss you girl. And the second pic is of Arlin, Jonas and me looking like the Beverly Hillbillies. That was from the time she was here in Sweden to visit me. Aww miss you too. Check out your green boots. Nice. :)

I read your resolutions and they're really good resolutions. Hope they come true and I'll try help in any way I can. As part of my own resolution to not be lazy, I'm going to cook today (asam pedas with sotong, ikan and ikan asin - yes, all from Ma and Ba when they were here) and sort out all my worksheets and stuff and start my lesson plans. And then I have to go to work later. Oh the quote that I put up earlier, it's from this book I'm reading called "The Defrosting of Charlotte Small" by Annabel Giles. I can relate a lot with what Charlotte's going through so I really like it. Almost finishing it though. Not good.

Now that I've fixed the comments section, you guys can go let whoever who would be interested in reading this blog read it. So everyone, please feel free to leave comments. Would be fun to read what other people have to say too. And hmm...I thought about other things we can add. Like maybe a special cursor thingy when people come to our site? Or music? Or would that be too annoying. What do you girls think?

Okay too many words now so I'm gonna go. Love, love and more and more love to my sisters!
Peace out
Nene

Me me me!

Haha...I'm so hogging this today....for some reason I just feel like adding stuff...not that its even anything interesting...heh. Anyway this picture was taken sometime last week I think...in WA. At this place called Cape Naturaliste...we went on a walking trail. I thought it was rather cantik..:)



And this one is actually a crap picture of me....it was taken at someplace called Bunker Bay I think but I thought i'd upload it anyway because I've just realised that you can include more than one picture in one post!! (yes I am very slenge, I thought it was limited strictly to one pic per post :p)....hehe a song actually comes to mind when I look at this pic...

"Look at me I'm twenty three
Beautiful
A sight to see tonight
A little dress to draw the press
And I'll be leaving all the rest behind
Well be pleased girl
If this is what you wanted
The whole world is watching you take the stage
What will you say
Aren't I lovely
And do you want me cause I am hungry for something that will make me real
Can you see me and
Do you love me cause I am desperately searching for something real."

Real - PLUMB - Album: Beautiful Lumps of Coal

Haha...macam Lindsay Lohan eh? ;p Today is my turn to sound like Arnee. Both you and Nene must learn to be pretty like me ok! hehehehh...sooo tak malu Ar!

Still an ok Sunday so far....I can't believe I'm saying this...but its actually nice and warm outside...no sign of rain (*choy*)..I've cleaned up my room..well partially...and I've just arranged my postcard collection again...cause it was piling up..working on third album now...oh yeah thanks to Kak Mar for the 3 postcards from Vegas....I received them two days ago. Aww...that was a pleasant surprise!

Back to watching 'Monster in-law' on HBO now...:D

- A r L i N -

yay! my rash is getting better. i'm putting johnson's baby cream on it now. under my leg its like so disgusting. eww...don't want to talk about it.
currently listening to hannah montana's who said. so cool. i thought of taking a picture of my rash and uploading it. but its really too disgusting to be seen.
ohh this is the lyrics for the song i'm listening to cause kak arlin and nene always put like poems and stuff and i got nothing.

"Who said, who said.I can't be Superman.I say, I say.That I know I can.Who said, who said. I won't be President.I say, I say.You ain't seen nothin' yet."


i love this song. and yeah kak arlin and me have matching track pants. ohh i also actually took a picture of myself. passport size. but i have to collect it today. it looks horrible. like i have a sarcastic look on my face. so irritating. the guy asked me if i wanted to re-take the picture but stupidly i said no.
i should have said yes. argh!!! well its okay. i have to go and collect it today. and i hope it turns out nice. but i have a feeling it won't. and also when i went to the doctor yesterday he lifted my skirt to check the rash, i accidently beat his hand. i meant it felt irritating okay. so uncomfortable.

my stupid rash is itching like crazy now. i feel like scratching it. cannot tahan. ma is pmsing now so she's like angry with me and like hates me. cause she says so. siao siao already. muahahahaha. ohh and my new year resolutions are:

1) Pass all exams this year with flying colours especially PSLE.
2) Save a lot of money so i can have a special guest for my birthday party.
3) Loose weight and eat less. ( like i can do that )
4) End of resolutions...ohh i forgot...have better bowling scores and win the junior and senior division for tournament.


cool...all the first letters of my resolutions spelt out is PSLE. lame. except the last one. i couldn't really think of anything so i said end of resolutions. muahahaha. okay. i'm going to put more cream now.

love love love my dear sisters like food....muahaha.


*Arnee*

ME AGAIN!

Ok you both haven't written any new posts, but I didn't feel like waiting around...so yes, I am going to hog this now :D

Its another bright Sunday morning here...yay! and it didn't rain yesterday too! Fantastic! Currently listening to Evanescence - 'Call me when you're sober'.

"Don't cry to me. If you loved me, you would be here with me. You love me, come find me. Make up your mind. You never call me when you're sober, You only want it 'cause it's over. How could I have burned paradise. How could I, you were never mine."

Hm..how apt.

Hehe and I still can't believe i'm actually listening to the same songs as these girls now...Arnee, Farhanah and Raihanah...they even bluetoothed the song to me during the sleepover the other time...thanks girls! :))

Yesterday we took Arnee to 'My Doctor Place' for her rash thing..Ar was a bit paiseh cause it was Dr Gilbert and not the lady doctor..(hehe I always forget her name)...anyway when we got home I felt an itch on my upper lip...and I was all paranoid and started fussing with it...and then it actually swelled up pretty bad!...and I looked absolutely awful :( I was really quite worried but thankfully its fine now...hehe that was the first thing I did when I woke up this morning...checked my lips. phew! :D

Oh yeah Nene..I got us (Ar and me) a pair of pants too last night...just lounging around pants...could almost pass off as yoga pants i think...anyway they're both exactly the same...pink...with a heart shaped diamante thing...hehe I like it..pretty comfy! and i'm wearing mine now. I'll take a pic of the pants and upload it so you can see. And if you like it i'll get you one too...so we'll all have matching pants! :D

Time for a shower!

The grape scented towel...

Alila Hotel Indonesia December 2006.

Just thought i'd include this picture from my recent Jakarta escape...hehe cause it was really quite the highlight of my trip....I miss the towels!....not only were they purple...they really did smell like grape gummy too!! hehe I kept sniffing them the whole two days that I was there.

Some other pics from the trip...

(<--- Left: Scruffy Jakarta)

(Right: Some kinda local transport --->)

( <--- Left: Ancol Themepark)










(Right: Purrfect!! :)))) --->)

You know that was actually quite exciting...just going there and being by myself....and it was all totally unplanned! I can't say its the craziest thing that I've done..(cause i've done some other crazy stuff too 8)...but it sure made it to that list....I'm glad I did that though...cause I've come to realise that I actually enjoy travelling by myself too...always thought I'd be too takut to do anything like that....which brings me to that New Years' resolution thing Nene was talking about...

I dont actually really believe in resolutions...but since she came up with a list...I'll try to do one as well :)

1.) Improve my handwriting (the dumbest resolution...but its become such a habit...its been my resolution for years now...but of course I don't really do anything about it :)

2.) Get my driver's license...okay i'm giving myself a whole year...that's not so bad right? I can't be that bad...*touch wood*

3.) Lose weight! Really have to do that...so gemuk.

4.) Just like Nene..I'd like to read more too...have so many books that I still want to read....

5.) More travel I suppose...anywhere and everywhere...hehe just to collect stamps on the passport.

The list could probley go on forever...but I suppose in general...I'd like to do more things...good stuff for myself that is...so I can look back and feel satisfied with my life.....and urm...just be a better person by year end I guess...well not just year end..but you know what I mean...gosh i'm really bad at things like these aren't I? bleh.

Alright...I think i'm pretty much done for now.

Love you both lots like jelly tots! (And no I don't think I actually like jelly tots all that much. yuck.)

My 2nd post

My 2nd post
Woot! Finally I can write again. I kept wanting to write last night after I'd written but didn't want to hog all the blog space. So I thought I'd wait till you both have written first and now you have and now I can write! Whee! Yeah I'm pretty excited about this blog too. Feel like I have lots to tell you and lots to share and stuff. Now why didn't we do this earlier? But good that Arlin came up with it now and everything.

But first, Arnee what rashes? You got rashes is it? What happened? Where? And so nice of you two to guide the little ones in bowling. Good job! And by the way, of course you can write lah and stuff but just not all the time that it gets hard to read your blog postings. You don't really talk like that all the time either (at least not to me) so try to type how you would talk normally lah. That's good too.

And this Arlin ah. I told you there were no ghosts :p Idiot, scare me only about the fan. Hehe but there was a movie I watched where the ghosts haunted electrical appliances. I think it's called Frequency. Wah scary man. And you had to show me the brownies right? Purposely one. Fine. I'll upload pics of the stuff I baked a while back. Carrot cake with cream cheese frosting and the kuihs I made for Hari Raya. Oh but don't need to do that cause you actually saw and ate my kuih makmur and stuff. But they look so nice on photo. Nevermind I'll upload a pic just for Ma to see then.

Ohh I thought of something else. Why don't we all write down our New Years' resolutions? Quite a good way to start this blog thingy and after all it is the start of the new year and everything. It'd be positive and we can help each other out too maybe. Okay so I can start:

Nene's New Year Resolutions (thought this deserved another colour):
1) Save up money and go back to Singapore
2) Be more positive about things, plan for the future and do stuff
3) Stop blaming others for things and do more, like be more giving (Inspired by Ma)
4) Take better care of myself and stand up for myself more
5) Read more
6) Contact family members and friends on a more regular basis
7) Be less lazy and stop procrastinating

Hmm I think that's all. Oh yeah something's really weird. Yesterday I changed and added some stuff in the template. Like my favourite links and stuff like that and my likes. But today it seems like the stuff I added disappeared leh. Did any of you change it? I probably forgot to save it or something. I'll add it again. Okay I'll upload the pics and then I'm going to upload the pics I took at Christmas and post the link here and then I think that's all from me this time round. Oh speaking of pics Arlin, I showed the in-laws pics you and I took when you were here and Kent-Ove's really impressed by the pic you took of that tree in my backyard. They didn't even recognize it. He said it was really good lighting and all that and wants to print it out so I can have it framed and display it. :D

Oh yeah I wanted to tell you about the ghostly thing too the other day but didn't dare cause it was malam Jumaat. Well I can type now in case I forget later. See Anna-Karin's "next door" neighbour was away so she had to go there twice every day to feed the woman's cat, Simba. So anyways, at nights she didn't really dare go by herself so she always asked one of us to follow her. So anyways Jonas and I went the first night we were there. It was so dark and everything that we had to take torchlights. But nothing happened lah. It's just that later then Jonas told me that he was actually looking around a lot when he was there because a few years ago, before that woman moved in, their old neighbour hung himself in the garage. Scary kan! If I had known I wouldn't have followed man. But I think I followed one more time after that. But I didn't really feel scared or anything. I think cause matsalehs don't believe in these things and are not superstitious so there was nothing.

Okay I'd better stop now. I'll put all the pics up on Imagestation and post the link here and then I'm outta here. I'll end with a quote from this book I'm reading right now:
"When I loved myself enough, I gave up the belief that life is hard"
Love you girls!
Over and out,
Nene

§renee§

today i went for bowling. i had to demonstrate like the positions and all the steps to the idiotic
primary threes...we were the only two that came for demo. me and gloria...the rest all couldn't wake up.
according to some people i have to use good english so i can improve on my compositions and all...okay. i will listen to her advice and use good english but on my blog i will still be the same.
as you know i am full of nonsense so it will be a little bit difficult for me.
so since only gloria and me went, we get a treat! woohoo!!! mrs p tan is going to take us out for lunch one day. maybe next week at the chinese swimming club restaurant. i am so excited. and she is also going to let us play a free game. woohoo! so nice. and uncle or coach actually wanted to buy us a drink but we did not want to use his money.but i did use twenty cents.
i am so tired now. i feel like going back to sleep but later in the evening i would not be able to sleep. so i do not think i should sleep now. ooh...i think i want to watch hannah montana! and go to the doctor because of my stupid disgusting rashes. ewwwww!!! i do not even want to describe it. it is too disgusting to be said. thank you very much. i will wait for nene to post. okay
goodbye and i love you both nene and sister arlin. muahahahahaha!!!! that was on purpose.

arnee wartini amir

Arlin says....

Well now that you both have done a posting each...I figured I can write again! Whee! Otherwise it'd just be me me me :p For some reason, I am pretty damn excited about this blog thing. Feel like I have so much to write :)) Hehe...yeah and hopefully we'll keep this updated...unlike the community thing..that was really crap...but its still around somewhere...I always tell them to keep my group...even if we're not doing anything to it. There are some really horrid pics there too. Could be useful blackmail material. :D

Anyway, last night I made brownies (well Arnee helped too)...and i'm including the picture especially for you Nene....basically it turned out pretty good...really rich, fudgy, chocolatey brownies...oh and I added walnuts too...and we served it with vanilla ice cream, chocolate sauce and an additional dusting of icing sugar. yum. :) I do feel like i've put on 10kgs now though! bleh. so gemuk. And noooo of course we're not trying to make you hungry or anything like that...we're your darling sisters...we would never dare do a thing like that! ;)

So its a bright and warm-ish Saturday morning...Arnee's gone for her bowling lessons at the chinese swimming club...and i'm actually listening to The Click Five - 'Good Day'. ..pretending that i'm young again of course!

"I woke up early in my hotel room..Wait for my alarm to go. I think about the things I`ve gotta do. Damn, my mind is gonna blow. I`m freakin out, about what's ahead. Maybe I`ll just stay in bed. 'Cause it`s no fun to be the one going out of my head. So I tell it to myself again. You`re looking for something you can`t find. If you give it up, you`ll lose your mind. There`s always something in your way. What can you say. You`re gonna have good day."

Hehe sorry i'm gonna keep flooding my posts with song lyrics...but its just so typically me! hehe. Anyway, that song is just fantastic...yup...i'm gonna have a good day...well even if I don't...I'll just keep telling myself that...i think.

I'm kinda pissed now cause not only did my fan stop working...now the coffee maker is doing that exact same thing! ARGH! And we do have the other kinds of coffee at home...there's plenty of my Vietnamese Trang Nguyen stuff..I could use the filter thing for that but I dont feel like having that today...then there's the instant stuff too but one is this disgusting Super brand which I don't like...and the other is Nescafe which isn't too bad I suppose...but I think Ba made a mistake when he got it cause its probley decaf or really really mild stuff. Ugh! I can't make the Swedish Skanerost or the Lavazza either cause I need the machine for that...I want my Douwe Egberts! sigh....this is major pissing off...and I was actually looking forward to having a nice cup of coffee this morning....oh well...now i actually have a reason to get a new coffee machine!!...muahahah. (and Mummy if you're reading this, you can't stop me now ;)

Hm...perhaps I should start collecting coffee eh?

And oh yeah Nene..I dont know if I told you...but the fan actually did stop working the other day...hehe there was no hantu after all...although I am still rather suspicious..cause I can switch it on...the light will be there...the only thing is that it doesn't move. Maybe the fan is still upset with me when I screamed at it to shut up. But I don't really care about the fan, cause we have plenty of that...you know there's at least two additional new fans in the storeroom...cause Ma's really kiasu about that...she keeps new fans cause she expects them to breakdown all the time. heh.

Anyway, i'll quit whining for now....so much for trying to have a good day. Phooey.

Lovies,

Arlin.

PS: Aww....Ar thanks for uploading that piccie....I actually liked that...it was only a year ago...but I feel like i've aged so much since then...hm...wow its gonna be March again soon....time for another party perhaps? you can start thinking about it k? and we'll try to work something out :)

Up and running!

Up and running!
Wahh both of you have done lots of work man. First rewriting all the links and stuff and then adding your own blog entries. So fast! But hey I found the template and added it so it's not like I never do anything either! :p

What's with the fishball and the dodoes Ar? Don't understand at all leh.

And nice pics both of you have put up. I want to add a pic too but I don't have anything on this puter so I'll have to do it later. But just thought I'd add my two cents worth first.
So we're gonna like be writing about stuff here. Updating each other on our lives and adding pics and all kinds of stuff. It is gonna be really fun and I hope we don't forget about it after awhile like we did with that MSN Groups Community thingy Arlin did. Haha.

What do I want to say about my sisters? That I love them a whole lot. And miss them every single day. It sucks not being able to see them all the time and not being able to share everything (and fight over everything) with them every single day. But Insyallah we will see each other again soon.

I'll end with a poem I found:

Sisters
"This is for my sister, best friend and other half.She is the one who sparked the flame of creativity in me."

So close, yet so far.
Together, yet apart.
We are sisters, body and soul,
Yet we are separate and alone.

Our bodies separated by land,
But nothing separates our hearts.
Even if our eyes cannot meet
We know each other's thoughts.

Forever sisters we shall be
Connected by something stronger than blood.
Never alone will we be
As long as we have each other.

by Kristi Weisgerber

This song also goes out to you both....love you to bits Nene and Ar! *mwah mwah*

Everybody's looking over your shoulder
Seems they can't wait to hear what's next
Everybody's saying she's looking older
Could it be there is a cruel subtext to
All this endless adulation
All this reckless infatuation and I will stay with you tonight in
Case this corset gets too tight and I will keep you company cause
That's what a sister should be.

Rachael Sage - Sistersong

That's all for now...will let Arnee do her thing! :)

Lovies, Arlin (kak)
