May 1st , 2016 ~ Today is Labor Day here in Singapore. It is a public holiday in many countries worldwide. It usually occurs on the 1st of May but the date varies across countries. It is associated the start of spring as well as the celebration of workers. It is the day that commemorates the eight-hour da for workers.
May Day known as the day of rest. But so far, I hadn't even rested a bit. Laundry , cooking, washing of dishes and now clearing of my beads supply table here in my beading room.
Outcome is now taking shape after I had neatly organized my beads in plastic ziploc bags and placed in trays to set aside until further use. Hoping they don't get forgotten in the corner where I had placed them. Now I'm ready to clear my mess on top of my beading table where I do my crafts. Previous big table is where I lay my finished jewelries and incoming beads from my orders online. It used to be my teaching table that can accomodate at least 6 people as far as I can remember from few years back. Geeezz... I miss my beading students ... oh.. here I go again. Getting sentimental ... aggghhhh !
Ok, let's go back to labor day. As I was saying, today is supposed to be a holiday. Specifically stated as a day of rest. But it wasn't working for some people just like me. I still got to move around and do my daily chores , well, my choice to do so anyways. So what am I complaining about ? Ha ha ... crazy me .
Actually, I am happy doing things around the house .. in and out. It's already a routine for me to be holding a broom and sweep the floor. Only problem now is my Dog "Koda" always try to sit on my feet everytime I'm with a broom in hand.
 |
| KODA the naughty ! |
She likes to stop me from cleaning. She wants that I play with her and I stop sweeping or mopping the floor.
She's a funny dog in some special ways.
 |
| GABBY the bully ! |
So is " Gabby " her bully partner in crime in the house. Both of them make me go round and round in the house everyday. They are always up to something ... beware !
They are my constant buddies at home keeping me busy and happy ... and tired of course ! Haiizzzzzz ... I can only have a break once they fall asleep like babies on their respective sofas .
Then I can either watch tv or bead some more .
The beadroom is where I spend most of my time during the day once the laundry is spinning and the dogs had been fed.
I only come down if I hear them both barking loudly outside . Warning me that someone is by the gate ... postman maybe ... or garbage collector. That's the only time I go out there and check ... or unless I am hungry and needed something to eat and drink. That's how my life goes in here everyday . Not so bad tho coz I have all the time I need to do things myself... no rush. No one to pressure me to do things here and there. So life is good for me that way...
I am most of the time busy beading or surfing the internet for new designs and contest or even beads on offer online. I am a busy bee that I hardly answer my phone too especially if I'm by the pool sunbathing with the dogs when I'm not cleaning or beading.
Ask my friends how many times they have to msg and call me till I finally pick up , they would tell you that I "NEVER ! " pick up my phone. He he ... sorry guys . That's me alright ... I just hate a phone !
Ok, today I didn't do any beading as a way to give myself a bit of rest. I had just submitted 2 entries to a beading contest after a gruelling 1 day of trying to enter the contest online yesterday.
My entries kept bouncing back with an error message saying the website can't be reached! Oh dear ... I was in total panic I got so dizzy and frustrated ! Yesterday was the final day of submission and the website can't be reached ! Oh no .... I tried so many ways to get my entries sent online. I messaged the online help... emailed them and finally gave up and slept late last night with a broken heart thinkin I cannot enter the contest this year. Sad ....
But today was another day ... I tried to submit again the same entries in the morning and voila ! I almost jumped in joy coz it finally went through easily . Yehhheeeyyyyy !!!
Now all I have to do is wait for their confirmation email that they had received my entries.
Fingers crossed that they had received it !
Wish me Goodluck too !!!

April 22, 2016 ~ How many of you are living overseas and still majority of your siblings and or family members are in your home country ? I do have a lot of siblings and since I live overseas away from them, I hardly see them unless I go home to the Philippines on holidays for at least twice in a year. I kind of miss my family of course and speaking about sisters , I got a lot to miss ! I have 7 sisters all in all. I hope I didn't miss anyone. Did I ? LOL!
Fortunately, out of the blue, one of them, Wendy came to visit Singapore with her husband Joseph for a 2 nights stay. It was kind of short but at least I was able to accompany them and show some places famous here in Singapore. Wendy wanted to see the Universal Studios in Sentosa Island so I took them there after meeting them at Marriot Hotel in Orchard Rd.
Lucky we were able to take some photos courtesy of our designated photographer ... her husband Joseph who is kind of camera conscious . Yep... he didn't want to have any pics of him taken so he took ours instead , hmmmm... . I won't elaborate why, ha ha .... At least Wendy and I got some much needed pictures together although most of the shots are more focused on the background not on us.
Wasn't it so obvious ? Wa ha ha ha.... Do you see me and my sister ? I blended with the flowers and I looked like a leaf ! This was a funny shot for us!
Anyways, we walked a bit here and there till we ended up by the beach side where we ran for cover due to the sudden strong downpour of rain. Yes.. we were like wet chickens looking for cover and ended up in the Bikini Bar for some well needed Virgin Colada for me and softdrinks for them. We were the non alcoholic type obviously.
We waited till the rain stopped and we headed to Gardens By The Bay beside the Marina Bay Sands. We arrived at the Flower Dome and viewed the Tulipmania Floral Display .
Oh wow wow WOW !!!
The Tulips were all so lovely to look at . Magnificent array of colors !
We couldn't easily leave the sight of it but we need to move on to the next place to visit. We got to see the Super Tree Grove and OCBC Skyway just nearby !!!

| OCBC Skyway |
Just a bit of walk in this humid weather and up we went to the Skyway via the lift provided of course . No stairs for an old lady like me please ! Up there, we started taking funny pics here and there while our designated photographer was busy talking on his phone.

Aren't they so sweet ? LOL! |

| The Marina Bay Sands |
Oh well... sightseeing was done. Time to head back home and for them back to check in to their 2nd booked hotel . I tried to convince them to go on a ladies night with me but they declined saying they were now both very tired and need to do a few things regarding work once they're back in their room. Oh well, ok. but that didn't stop me from going out and meeting my friends for a ladies' night afterwards . I was also very tired of driving, walking, and being tour guide all day but I need to go party , heyyyy ...No stopping me. I'am a true party animal ... is that bad ? It's my way of relieving my stress ... really .

| Thanks Wendy for my sexy outfit you had given me as a gift ! |
Isn't this bracelet matching with my outfit ? Ohhh yeeaahhhhh ... Perfect !
It's a pity you both didn't go out with me... you could have had a great night partying with me and my lady friends .
See what we do ? we were crazy but it was fun ... this is life here in Singapore. Live each day as if it is your last ... you only live once !
Anyways, till next time then and hope both you and Joseph enjoyed the day. Hoping you liked what I had given you too.
Next time you come back here make sure you bring some heels too !
Love you my dear sister ... see you again soon !
