NEW FAMILY MEMBER! =) 

That's right! We had a new family member in the house~ At first I wanna keep it a secret first because we weren't sure if we can handle a new member. But Sis said she is very sure that she want this dog~ So we are keeping her~ =) 

We adopted her on the 16 April. It was all very sudden.. 

On 15 April, Mum called and asked if we wanted a new dog from her friend's sister.. Which was a female poodle, 2 years old.

According to this Sister, she bought her because she thought poodle was cute while watching tv, so she bought it over 3000 dollars.. Heard that it was imported from Taiwan. The dog is being up for adoption because her daughter is pregnant now, so they didn't have the time to take care of a dog..

So this dog has nowhere to go, so we decided to adopt her.. 

I rushed back home right after work on Monday and I was SHOCKED the moment I saw her.. 


The dog looking like this.. 

By the way, this poodle's previous owner is filthy rich. 

By looking at this dog, would you believe that she HAD a owner? 

She was very dirty, smelly, her fur was badly matted.. and VERY VERY SKINNY. She was all skin and bones, I am not kidding at all.. Whats worse, she was caged up.. So she didnt have any freedom at all. 

I felt so angry and sad at the same time, because they neglected her. If you buy a dog just because you saw them all cute and cuddly on TV without thinking how much responsibilities you need to give. Then you are so uneducated ! Its so obvious right?? 

Taking care of a dog is just like taking care of a baby! 

They can be oh so cute at times, but u needa feed them, clean them, clear their pee and poo, take them to the vet, grooming etc etc.. 

The next day I took leave and brought her to the nearest groomer because my own pet groomer couldn't handle her due to too last minute.. 

So we had to bring her to Jurong point's pet station to groom her.. 



She got no choice but to be shaved.. Now we can see where are her eyes and ears.. So neat and clean! 

It was no surprise to see her in such a state, skin and bones.. 

Its a good thing that she managed to be really hyper, hungry and playful.. 

Sis named her Coco~ =) 

Coco can be pain in the ass at times, we had her for 2 weeks now, so Cookie is slowly getting use to her presence in the house, they can "fight" at times, but ya, Cookie is trying to accept her~ 

Because she can be REALLY cunning at times.. She will act all cute with teary eyes and asked you to protect her.. She can be really sweet at times.. 



Still trying to get to know each other~ 





 My baby! Boss in the house yo! =D 



Her signature look~ =D 


It looks like she is smiling right? 






Coco in her new "room" , she sleeps in it with her cushion and blanket ~ 

She cant sleep with us yet because she is still unsure bout paper training, so we dont want her on the bed~



She is a lap dog, unlike Cookie and Cherie, she enjoys sleeping and sitting on our laps~ 


Hopefully we can handle all 3 of them well ~ =) 


Welcome to the family Coco~ We can be really strict and mean to you at times but its all for your own good~ =) We LOVE ALL OUR PETS! =)

SCAMMED OR ME BEING CUNNING? YOU DECIDE. 

Hey guys, its been nearly a month now since I last blog.. 


Sorry for not updating as I do not have much interesting matters to share with you~ 


Its been a rough time for me.. 


This post will be very long and wordy, as its a very emotional post, so bear with me. 


As everyone knows that I have been scammed for 500+ bucks from my blogshop supplier, I have been trying to get back my losses from her but obviously she is avoiding and lying to me. 


I will just do a summary of what happen, I will NOT mention names AND all evidences that I have. Will only show one picture. 


I mean I CAN post up all the evidences that I have (which I have already uploaded the pictures in my draft but didn't post it up. ) 


If these scammers are reading this, they might think I am bullshitting, if you think I am, just drop me a message, I will send you a copy of it~ 


So this is how it goes. 


Not long after I patched back with A, I decided to do business with her gf, C . I have been whining bout how broke I was, having not enough money to spend/survive and this was what they suggested me to do. 


Telling me how easy it was, won't have any problems with the stocks because I can get the stocks from them. 


They managed to convinced me to work together with them. I was really excited, I was really enthusiastic. Esp when I have my FIRST customer who actually trusted me when there are full of scams all over the internet. Of course not to mention my own friends who also showed support~ 


I started this blogshop on 20 December .. 


At first some of the stocks didnt manage to arrive on time because C claims that it was Christmas period which the stocks will not come on time, need to wait for another 2 weeks. 


(Note that I have paid her in order to get my stocks.)


Ok, its logical right? Christmas , New year AND Chinese New year period are very busy, so shipment would be very stuck up.. 


I get it.. But my VERY first order was during Dec and it came on March. C's reason was because she forgot that order and it came late. 


Which is understandable, people forgets sometimes right? 


BUT what's made me intolerable was, it came with WRONG colour AND WRONG size. 


How could it be wrong colour and size when I specifically sent an email to her, with picture and size along? 


I didnt know it till my customer told me. Why didnt I know? Because she sent it out on my behalf as she FORGOT to bring it to me when I was suppose to meet her to collect ALL my pending stocks. 


Mind you, I stayed around Jurong area and I have to travel all the way to Yishun to collect my stuff, but I didn't complain. 


Now when this happened, it was already in MARCH. When some of the stocks SUPPOSE to reach even BEFORE Chinese New Year, but still didn't manage to. Some was because it was OUT OF STOCK. 


I have already customers who was requesting for a refund as they have been waiting for MONTHS. 


So I HAD to refund them from my side. As A said that she would do the refund herself. And thats when I trusted her and did the refund so that my customers won't think that I was scamming them and being so irresponsible. 


Also, I was very pissed off that the quality I get from the stocks are really unacceptable. 


I mean, I GET IT its OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturing) Which means its NOT the Authentic item but the looks and quality are the CLOSEST to the authentic ones. 


BUT the one I received was so fake looking that its not even match up to the price! I can freaking get this kind of item for like 35 bucks ?! but I paid for about 100+ ? 


I explained to them that I was very unhappy bout the stocks I received. But to them, I was being unreasonable. Which C brought ALL THE WAY BACK FROM HK. 


I did 3 refunds already but 9 was still pending which god knows when it will arrive. So I cancelled all the pending items as it was a WASTE of time and energy to work with C any longer.


At this point of time, I knew our friendship are being affected BUT when working with them, I have been mentioning bout I DO NOT MIX WORK AND PERSONAL LIFE TOGETHER. 


Because both of them quarrelled ALL THE TIME. Either of them would come to me and tell me how sad,angry they felt. 


BUT when I confronted C, she said I was making things WORSE for them. I CAUSED them into this current state.. 


Erm, I was talking bout WORK, why would you bring ur gf in this situation when its TWO DIFFERENT situation??? 


C claims that she has no money to do the refund in one shot. (Also note that she DID NOT KNOW WHAT PENDING ITEMS I NEED FROM HER.) 


So I gave in and comes to agree that she would pay S$100 PER WEEK. This agreement was from 9 March. 


Till now I only received S$50. 


During this period of time, I have also fought with A, I mean we didn't talk/text/msn. Why? Because she decided to stop contacting me. Block me from Twitter/Facebook/MSN and Whatsapp as well. 


So its obvious that she made her choice or maybe she was forced to? who knows? 


A also claims that this whole incident is NONE of her business. 


So if its so, why would you stop contacting me? If you are so professional bout how you manage your work and private life well, then why would you stop talking to me? 


During March period, they went to HK for their Holidays. Still claims that they are broke to even spend for their trip.


I suggested to A that if they don't wanna drag this matter, they can return me the whole amount at one shot when they are back from their Holiday. 


I couldnt find C because she was at HK while A is still in Singapore. So she is the only one I can find right? 


Ya, of course she was totally pissed off at me.. I didnt have a choice did I ? 


A few days later, C Whatsapp me saying that she WILL return me in one shot when she is back. Proof as below.






P.S : I have LOTS of proof to show, but I will only show this. I am already nice enough not to expose their faces and names. 


I was nice enough to actually EXTEND the deadline and even replied nicely. 


But C decided to go MIA. 


The only way was to text A bout it, kept saying that she had NOTHING to do with this, they never talked.. etc etc.. Really? When u guys LIVE TOGETHER? right.. 


Seriously the moment I texted A, C WILL REPLY within MINS! =D Wow! So u guys didnt communicate? Do I look 3 year old to you? 


Lastly, A told me C was still in HK.. At first I believed it, that explains why no reply from C, because no WIFI.. 


Fine.. I shall wait.. BUT I have a feeling that they were lying their way through, trying to avoid me and so on.. 


Little did they know. I found the proof that she IS IN SINGAPORE. 


I even confronted A bout it, and she still continue to lie.. 


How did I know? Facebook, ya.. She blocked me but I have my own way to see her updates.. She was in Singapore ! 


Whats with all the bullshit like NO WIFI? U can even bloody update ur facebook when u were in HK! 


Whatsapp is the best proof that u READ ur messages. Everyone who uses Whatsapp will know what I meant. You will know whether the other party read ur messages OR NOT. Even ONLINE. 


Obviously I was very angry, because they were lying this entire time!! 


On the other hand, I was utterly disappointed that a close friend of mine actually lied to me. 


They said I was threatening because I posted up proofs on my Facebook,which was just a small part of it, felt that I was demanding. 


If I was so threatening and demanding, my blog,facebook, twitter will have all the evidences all over the place. I gave in to C because  of A. But instead of fulfilling our agreement, they stepped on me all over the place. 


Now you may ask, if I was in this state,


1. Why didn't I report to the police? Ans: Because she WAS my friend, I didn't want to be so cruel to do such a thing when there were already others reported her. 


2. Why didn't I want to expose her entirely? Ans : Because it won't change the fact that I was scammed and cheated.


3. Why would I even blog bout it ? Ans : Because I had too much to bottle up in me and I had to rant it out, explain to my customers who mostly are my friends and lastly to warn bout others how unsafe to buy things online. 


After DAYS of messaging and chasing her, I still get no replies from C. So I had to text A again and apparently she claimed that I was twisting my words AND being so cunning, she was so regret to know me as a friend to begin with.


Years of being best friends together, betrayed a couple of times and this is what I get in return. 


Dear Customers/Friends, if you would like to see the proofs that I have collected, Just let me know, I will show it to you. 


I won't expose them because like I said, its not gonna change anything and yes I will feel so much better, I can get my revenge, but I tried not to feel so hatred and unfairness in me. I want to be humane and not to be on the same level as them. 


I was told to stomp them but no, I won't do it. 


For a moment there when A hurt me so badly with her words, I wanted to do it. But after cooling my head off, I just realized that its not worth it. Because I am different from them. I will be just like them if I were to expose them.


I will also try my best to do the refund once I am back from my trip. Please rest assure that I will not be irresponsible. 


This is the part of what I have to say. If you wanna hear both sides of the story. 


Just feel free to email me/text me/ contact me. 


I may be in a difficult state right now, but I will try my best to stand up and move on.


Most importantly to heal my heart. 


Thanks to my Family who was there for me when I am in this state, esp my mum and sister. 


Mum even had to sell her stuff just to clear this debt. 


And also customers/friends who were understanding who gave me time to do the refund.


Thats about all now. Thank you for taking your time to read this long winded post of mine ~ 


Will move on and try my best to blog more, that's also included if my life is more interesting~ =) 


Till next time~ Take care!

DAY OUT ON FRIDAY~ 

Met up with Sis, Vincent, Shuyu and Wanying for buffet on Friday night~ 

We bought this voucher online during Feb but we weren't able to reserve a place, so we were only able to reserve a table for us on Friday~ 

Headed down to Tanjong Pagar MRT station straight after work, its been quite some time since I was at that area, I used to work around there, so it kinda brings back memories~ haha! 

So I met up with Shuyu first because others were late.. 

Luckily I know where Amara hotel is, so we headed to their restaurant and get seated first~ 


About 15 to 20 mins later, they reached and we started to have our FEAST ! =D 


The ambiance was kinda nice, we've got a corner sofa seat~ Soft drinks are free flow~ 


So we started eating~  


Of course, Cold dish first, it has a long Q, so I only took a few, but sis helped me to take some food after that~ 


I kinda like how they put sauce and bits of fruits on top of the scallops, refreshing sauce on the mussels. It really was appetizing ! Something new~ =)  But the sushi weren't good enough, the rice was hard, I think they have placed in the fridge for too long, or they left it for overnight.. Just not good..



Oysters! Its not big enough BUT fresh enough~ Their prawns were really good, big, fat and not to mention FRESH! They didnt cook the prawns for too long, so biting the meat was really enjoyable! Like we all praised the prawns! So damn nice! =D 


How can I not mention this? LOBSTERS! =D 


We all had one! The waitress served it to us~ Lobster with cream sauce~ It was sooo good! 


It was piping hot when it was served to us! The meat is just woooo ~ ~ ~ 


Actually when u walked into the restaurant, you will smell the lobsters! Made me sooo hungry!! and drooling away.. =X 


Their bread was really yummy too~ Just like how I enjoyed my bread when I went to Apollo hotel~ 


Their hot dishes weren't impressive enough, they didnt have much to offer and it was really so-so.. 


But one thing I loved bout was, their cakes!! Like seriously! Whenever I go for buffet session, I would always look forward to their cakes but somehow they always disappoint me.. 


But this is different, their cakes were really awesome, i didnt manage to take any pictures of the cakes, because I was busy eating away~ =X 


And one thing is, they dont serve second servings of that same cake/dessert. I didnt manage to take Tiramisu but Vincent did~ 


At first I was like, I'll try but I dont think it will impress me.. But I was so wrong, I LOVED IT! 


Their Tiramisu was really good!! But too bad, I only get a bit of it~ And of course I remembered eating a cinnamon petite dry cake, it taste really good! =D 


Overall, their cakes are really impressive~ I dont mind getting their tiramisu cake~ 







We spent bout 3 hours eating, but i don't think I eat much.. Because I stopped first before everyone else did, Wanying really CAN eat! I mean she is so skinny but she sure eat a lot!! T.T Envy much! 


So after dinner, we were thinking of where to hang out next, didnt had any idea and I felt like going for singing session~ So we went back to Jurong, headed to Arena.. Something like a country club~ 


We waited for bout 15 minutes for the room to be ready because they were out of rooms, so we gotta wait..


Played pool with sister~ =D Its been a while since I played and I still sucked at it~ 


The place we went its called Atlantis club if I am not wrong, its a club for guys.. Like host club? Lots of old uncles... =.=


Anyways, we proceed to their KTV room and seriously its been a while since I see a old school room.. With small TV, and erm.. Sound system sucks.. T.T but then its still better than no room~





Had fun singing songs~ We sang from 12 plus to 2 plus, except for sis and Vincent who wanted to go back first.. 

So I went back with Wanying and Shuyu at bout 2 plus~ Waited for cab and headed home~ 

Overall it was a fun day~ It has been quite a while since I hang out this late.. 

Parents were out of town for the week.. Like7 or 9 days? Feels a bit lonely when my mum is not around~ 

But hopefully they will have some fun! =D 




That's all for today~~ Till next time guys! =D Oh, Happy April's Fool day and Happy Wedding Anniversary to my parents! Ya, its on April's fool day.. =X Ciaossu!
