The Mrs Club


hihi Mik,

Sounds like u have travelled alotalot! wow, gdgd, can share all the experiences u have with us

Okie, will def keep in mind on the sun.. My colleague asked if there might be alot of flies & mozzies.. Forgot on tt leh! Howhow?

hihi Josl,

Forgot to tell u tt on China's toilets.. Also the same case in Shanghai, same kind of standard..

HeyHey Minssy,

Not tt smelly when the weather is super cold, like near 0degrees. I wonder how they do big business like tt
 
hi josl,
the toilet is bucket system? *scary*

hi mehmeh,
heehee, not really, just barely bitten by the travel bug
there are a few places which i definitely wanna see in my lifetime ~ egypt for its ancient wonders, greece for its history, spain for its beauty and new york for T&Co. heehee.
flies, yep, more at countryside area ~ they fly abit slow-motion though compared to local flies. maybe due to cooler weather? heehee! mozzies not really. din encountered any during my trip there. kekeke.
 
hi mehmeh and minssy,
luckily they dun smell, clear every day one, when i poo i try to go while i bath heehee..
mehmeh, shanghai stay in hotel not tt bad, the toilet stuck also not our prob mah hahaha

Another thing is, i cannot wash clothes here..sigh but heng my clothes are not smelly, coz they got washing machine but no iron, so most pple here wear crumpled clothes out even to work, can faint!!

hi starmoon,
i went to mt fuji before hee, quite fun loh, made snowballs coz the snow havent melted by the time i went, nothing really much up there loh.

hi mikmik,
getting fat..sob sob..face round round liao....

hi minssy,
tryin to find 'The thing' but tt stall closed ..dunno whether can find a not..
sad.gif
 
hi mikmik,
nope not bucket system, but juz tt we cannot throw paper into the bowl, so throw into a bin all, the toilet paper after we wipe big or small biz..
 
hi mehmeh,
yups i bot 2 MAC for u, izzit cheaper??

hi mikmik,
how was ur eyeshadow? Maybe i shld juz go n peek at the Tangs eyeshadow then i will ask u gals to buy for me heehee...
 
hehee...nothing to do now..update u gals..

colouring here is est RMB100 which is sg 20 bucks hehee,i havent ask for how much for my length, doing nails is RMB8 havent check if they do the full manicure...divide the prices but 5

Gio and esprit is abt singapore price though
 
hi josl,
*hugs hugs*
oic, so it's like collection of paper into one bin.....
the eyeshadow ~ the colours not strong, very light. not bad if you like light colour shawdow
think the difference between the more ex brands and cheaper brands is the type of colour pigments used inside.
heehee, go do all the beauty services like hair treatment, mani, etc =)
har, gio and esprit is SG pricings ah........then bo hua already.......
 
hihi josl

U are my other darling.. heheh, yeah i wanted x2 of Studio Tech. Ur SMS mentioned only the cost, so i got scared sthg went wrong.. heheh

u shd do the manicure lor.. Worth it, after all u dun have very much plans there rite?

Hihi MikMik,

No mozzies huh? great!! I'm a B+ & body temp is usually warmer than others, so have higher tendencies of getting bitten.. heheh

I'm just thinking whether for the F&E days to rent car anot.. Still thinking, shall read up more & then decide again

Hope to be able to go YellowStone National Park, Niagara Falls, Tuscany for now.. The 1st two have always been my dream since i fell in love with Geography.. Was so moved by the scenary of Tuscany when I saw photos of them..
 
hi mehmeh,
yep, din encounter any.
oic!! hey! that explains why mozzies are attracted to my blood too!! always i end up with the most number of mozzie bites after a hike or whatever.
hmmmm......car rental is good if you want to go down to the margaret river region. lovely caves to check out there ~ lake cave, jewel cave......was a beautiful experience to go underground and see for real the limestone formations
also along the way to the region, can stop by at "pit-stops" like brusselton to check out the longest railway right into the ocean
with your love for geography, perth does have all these natural wonders to keep you excited =)
my only regret was missing out on the pinnacles.
the only thing is that you'll have to check with derek if he's OK to drive for several hours.
cos once out of the city centre, it's better to drive.
ohhhhhh! niagara falls ~ not sure whether the US side or the canada side is more beautiful. tuscany....beautiful beautiful photos!!
 
hi mehmeh & mikmik,

yeah.. mik travel a lot hor.. solid sia... i envy yo... hee..

wah.... i also dunnoe how they do their big business! wahhaahah! yucks! hahhaha

hi josl,

cant find that thing ah? ok lor.. i cant really find that time when i was in china town.. hahha... maybe not fated to get... wahahahha
 
hi minssy
mine was stained during our tea ceremony lor...cos we had it on separate days wif our banquet. MIL asked me to leave album in living room for guests to see so no one watching the album...then hor, cos MIL served some kuehs on dat day and oso we ordered buffet catering so maybe some guests didnt clean their hands thoroughly and den see our album lor...i was very sad when i saw the oily stains on the cover and quickly flipped to check on the photos...some photos oso ganna stains so i use damp cloth to wipe lor....luckily for the photos, they weren't damaged. only for the cover we couldnt get the stain off completely lor...i was quite upset over it and hubby said if really upset, den change lor. we haben bring it down to change yet lah...still at home. going to bring it down this weekend to change lor so at least by the time we come back from HM, will be ready for collection lor. my thinking is since we paid so much liao really dun wanna let one cover spoil it all lor. so might as well make it nice nice.

hi mikmik
yah, hope so lor...will update when i come back lor...kekekek...quite lucky to have someone bring us around...but still thinking abt mt fuji. maybe we'll skip...see how first.

hi josl
eeeksss....datz disgusting!!! can't imagine going to a toilet and den see blood stains/poo on the paper....yucks!!! lucky SG not like dat, if not faint ah.

okie, gals...going home now...catch up later
 
hi minssy,
not alot, really, just once a yr, go on one trip else i will feel very restless and stuck

hi starmoon,
have fun!! check wif u one thing, your trip all F&E is planned and booked all from SG already is thru internet or travel agent?
 
hi Minssy,

Yeah man.. Mrs Miko has really travelled alot to share so much! Kow tow to u.. Too bad i can't take leave as & when i like, so subjected to a hike in air tix & hotel prices, gotta curbe no. of times i travel per sch hols. Usually at most once lah, and then before tt, no money coz haven't started to work mah

Hi Starmoon,

My album cover is also kind of damanged, someone (dunno if it's Jie-Mei or PG) arranged the album in such a way tt it rested on a box or sthg to tt extent, so left an indentation on the cover.. Sure heartache lah, but i suspect if I want to have the change in cover, I will incurr extra costs leh.. Maybe next time when i pick up some IT skills, i will do up my own photo album in scrap-booking way, with my thoughts and write-ups on stuff related to the pix, take it to some gd printer & get it printed again.. Just a wild wild thought

How's the packing getting on?? U must be soso excited!
321931.gif


Hi MikMik,

Hmm, i also have no idea if Niagara looks better fr US or Canada, but i think i will be so consumed by its beauty, nothing matters oredi! heheh

Tuscany looks so gd in pix, but it seems exp to get there too.. hmm, dunno whether Derek's interested anot leh
 
hi mehmeh,
hehehe, not really. all my previous trips since 2001 were all in dec too! also subjected to surcharges when booked late.
earlier trips all sponsored by daddy dearest. hehehe. mrs josl is certainly well-travelled! =) *envy envy*
can't recall who told me that one side is more beautiful than the other....but i think the sight will be awesome on both sides. =)
hmmm.....perhaps when you decide to go to europe and tour one or two countries in particular, can make tuscany one of your stops ;-)
 
hi starmoon,

oh i see i see.. wah! those itchy hands. if its me i will get pissed off like hell man! so your BS agreed to change it FOC?

hi mikmik,

cool cool
happy.gif
i think for me, i am happy with near countries trip.. never think that i will be able to travel far leh.. hee..

and yah! mrs josl is another one that travels too! she is going japan again lah. that one i lagi envy....
 
hi minssy,
=) yeps, actually quite alot to see in asia itself already, like BKK, shanghai, HK, taipei, etc.
as long as slowly work towards your dream trip, i don't think it will not come true ;-)
 
hi mikmik
all the bookings i booked directly on the net...didnt go through travel agent...did get a quote from travel agent but it is more expensive so might as well do all the bookings myself lor.

hi mehmeh
can understand the heartache...for me, even extra costs oso bo bian lor cos i really hate to remind myself of the stain whenever i take the album out to see lor. your idea of scrape book is great....but hor, me dun haf creativity so dun think can do up something nice so better leave it to the hands of the experts. we haben pack yet cos leaving next week, so prob will use one of the holiday next week to do the packing lor...still not excited yet leh...kekekek....dunno y oso....mabe nearer to date den will be excited bah.

hmm, niagara falls...seen the pic my fren took...itz simply beautiful lor...next time got chance maybe will go see all the 7 wonders of the world.

now looking at grand canyon tour....very expensive leh...abt US$500 for 2. haiz....but i guess no choice lor....now headache is dunno whether to change and bring all cash or bring traveller's cheque....cos gotta pay 1% commission for traveller cheque so feel the pinch to let the agent earn for nuttin leh....

hi minssy
yah, me really pissed on dat day when i saw the album after the tea ceremony lor....was thinking y these people nebber take care wan and juz anyhow...they should have known better than to touch it if hands are oily mah....no lah, if i change the cover gotta pay additional for the cover lor...will pay direct to photographer cos nuttin to do wif BS...our photographer is not in-house so everything dealing with photos, will have to deal wif photographer directly lor. so u decided to change liao?
 
hi mikmik,

hee.. yah i guess its really 1 step at a time.. next mth i am going hong kong and i hope to go bangkok in jan.... then maybe slowly move to more countries. woohoo!

hi starmoon,

oh ok.. so long as its not too expensive for you to change..

a.. i haven really decided :p. gonna show my dad.. see if he can spot anything. if i hear pple say anything then i will change? hahha! dunnoe.. really still dunnoe...
 
hi starmoon,
thanks for the info. any websites to recommend to do bookings? is it solely for US or can also book EU?
why need to bring traveller cheques? *paiseh* i dun quite understand the use of traveller cheques....

hi minssy,
yeps! enjoy HK first ~ the food and bags. heehee! BKK in jan will be cooler cos rainy season over (i went last jan) and also more bags to buy and shoes! heeheehee!!!
abt ur album, if you are really uncomfy wif it then change, yah? =)
 
hi starmoon,

Oh no, u too?? Another one tempting me further into going USA liao.. But now tt we've booked the car & the impending Toa Payoh flat, such big ticket expenditure is quite low in priority too.. Maybe when I retire?? Or hopefully if Derek gets the opp to go over for a long or even short work trip, i will tag along!

Erm, u help ur boss with the travelling stuff rite? I think u shd know which is safer to use.. The travellers cheque is kinda like money insured hor?

hihi Mik,

Ur daddy is really daddy dearest! Does he need another 'daughter'?? hahah..
Europe's not our must-go places as yet, dun think Derek really wld appreciate architecture and the kind of food.. He's pretty much one who needs Chinese food?? hahah
 
hi gals..i finally know how to use the messenger, me online but nobody ard sob sob..

hi mehmeh,
hee, see when u free then can meet u when i am back, when does ur makeup finish?

hi mikmik,
i want light colours loh hehee, but i like to buy makeup with brand, i saw cheap eyeshahow here at 3 bucks for 4 pots..

hi mehmeh,
i still thinking of the manicure coz my cousin thinks its not clean the instruments here, i still thinking of colouring how..hmmm

hi minssy,
yeah i think there's is a season, coz winter soon who wanna wear so thin clothes hahaha
 
haha...now then i read..my trips also usu sponsered by parents, though not v fun when i go with them but so so loh...

Japan i still bugging hubby to bring me..but BKK in July is a maybe alo..
 
hi mehmeh,
heeheehee! me still in school so haven't started to earn anything yet. hehehe.
oic! same here! i can survive on non-chinese food but hubby can't. hahaha. a few days in aussie, he's already looking for chinese food and we still have the rest of the week to go!!

hi josl,
you're using web version msn is it?
heehee! ohhhhhhhh! powder must buy branded cos closest to your skin. on top of powder, nvm one. any brand also will do as long as not allergic to it can liao. waaaaaah! that's cheap!!
you're one seasoned traveller, josl. =) so fun, every time can go see new places and try new food!
 
hi mikmik,

woo... cool.. so jan will be a relatively better timing compared to dec hor? and yes, if more uncomfy then i will change....
 
hihi josl,

agree with Mik, powder/foundation very impt to have gd ones.. Eye & mascara can be anything u like! heeheeh.. I experiment too much, Derek sometimes says need to stop, esp when it come to eye shadow

No worries, i'm also using my Artistry most of the time. Studio Tech's reserved for weekends.. heheh.. Msg me when u're back & free, i see how k?

hi Miks,

Maybe must pack for them instant porridge hor? hahah
 
hi minssy,

shd go BKK in Jan, afterall u dun want to clash with the peak period of Singaporean holidayers swarming Chatuchak! almost within 5 feet, u can hear a Singaporean..

how far do u like Spicy food?? Got this really gd restaurant, which has very spicy food & the boss looks like the ex-TCS actor cum husband of Quan Yi Feng - Peter Yu

MBK's food court also quite recommended, though i feel it has a strong resemblence to Singapore's foodcourts

Clothes & shoes may be an issue, coz Thai girls are so petite.. Smaller than josl! But u can splurge on accessories & bags, and maybe even home decor items
 
hi minssy,
yeps! beginning dec, the rainy season is starting to taper off plus the thais celebrate their king's BD also in dec. so quite an event there.
=)

hi mehmeh,
yupes! and maybe cup noodles as well hahaha!
really wonder how to go on long trips to western countries....
oooooooooh! talk abt bags from BKK, i still drooling. didn't get to shop sufficiently for bags *pouts*
 
hi mehmeh,

jan be it then! hee.. i love spicy food! think i will love the real thai food in bangkok... but i will eat alone cos mr leong cant eat chilli stuff :p

yah i heard abt the sizes.. i must see for myself how petite the pple are man! but i will not expect to buy clothes back..maybe more of shoes & bags! wahahhahahah!

hi mikmik,

i wonder why you like to buy so many bags... me too! wahhahaha! do we have some bags disease??? i just bought a bag from kokon tozai and have been using it. then the box which contains my bags are just left there. but still i feel that i dun have enough bags and i wanna buy more :p
 
good morning minssy,
hahaha! ^5 i think so leh!
heeheehee! true true! like dun seem to have enuff bags to match, right? was it the nice pink and black one you carried the other day? one fine day, we go bag-shopping, kae? heeheehee!
 
hi mikmik,

hahahhahhaahaha! yah lor yah lor.. always dun have enough bags one.. i am banned from buying for the past few mths so i gonna revenge when i go hong kong :p

oh yah! thats the one.. hee.. ok on for bag shopping lah! see if i can have time next week else it will be after my wedding if you dun mind... hee..
 
hi minssy,
yah yah!! oic. HAHAHA! HK got nice bags =)
can can! no hurry, can be after you come back from HK also can.
 
hihi Mik &Minssy,

I think we're bag crazy! I love bags too.. Must get at least 2 fr each trip. Got 2-3 at my BKK trip, dun think i managed to during the KL one though. Maybe at Perth's factory outlet, i wld get a nicenice one..

I'm now looking for a black dinner bag to match my new dress i'm making with Kim.. So far, those on the shelves do not catch my eye
 
hi minssy
dun stress yourself out over the album kaez? it will be more stressful as the big day draws nearer and nearer...keep calm and breathe like wad mehmeh told us after her big day
happy.gif


hi mikmik
for the bookings, i went to www.expedia.com and www.orbitz.com but hor, in the end, i juz booked directly with the hotel that i'm staying and the air ticket i just get it directly from air line. cos for hotel, i wanna airport transfers but in these webbie, they only provide car rental plus hotel and not transfers so in order to minimize any confusion in booking, i juz called the hotel directly to make reservation lor. they do have flights/hotels offer for europe as well. for Orbitz, they have more offers including other countries besides US...they have offers for asian countries and more...maybe can check it out.

as for traveller's cheque, this is to minimise the amount of cash that u nid to bring over. for example, if i change US$10k into traveller's cheque so each time when i need to get cash, i juz bring the cheque to any bank and sign on the cheque to get cash lor. they oso have this cash passport thing that works exactly like the traveller's cheque except that this card can be used at any atm over there 24/7 and can be used to withdraw cash...this way, u dun have to worry abt losing the money or other accidents that might happen lor....only thing is gotta pay 1% commission and the exchange rate is also much higher so means we have to pay more SG$ to change to US$ lor...datz the only thing datz holding us back lor. another option is to bring my atm card over there and withdraw cash but hor, the bank oso charges SG$5 per withdrawal plus i wun know wad exchange rate i'll be getting so oso not so good lor. haiz...still thinking and thinking wad to do...

hi mehmeh
haiz...my boss advise me to go hassle-free = cashless...he's afraid dat i might misplaced my cash...but hubby thinks itz not worth paying extra to go cashless so i oso dunno wad to do leh....wah, so nice to tag along if yr hb gets to go over...at least only have to pay for 1 pax...can save alot of $$$...

hi josl
so do u think i shld go to mt fuji?? me still thinking leh...cos my colleague says sometimes depends on weather and i might not get to see it clearly so now in a dilemma as well...somemore gotta travel 3 hours so dun wanna waste 6 hours of travelling if we can't get to see anything....when did u go to see fuji? i mean which month?
 
hi mehmeh,

hahhahh! yah lor.. girls will always be girls.. if not bags, will be shoes, else clothes

hi minssy
we haben start packing yet...prob over the weekend or during the holidays next week....too lazy to pack now
happy.gif


hi mikmik
yah, will most likely be using credit cards cos uob got double points promo for overseas spending...but hor, exchange rate oso might not be as good leh...so perhaps only use some on credit and some by cash lor. now thinking oso how much to bring over to japan....wad do u recommend? $800 for 2 pax will be enuff? we'll only need to spend on shopping and food and prob some sightseeing entrance fees??? i was thinking abt $1k but hubby thinks itz too much. wad do u think? we'll be there for abt 3 days.

hi mehmeh
yah yah...cos dunno wad to type mah, so usually keep it short and simple
happy.gif
dun think we'll be bringing traveller's cheque cos prob too troublesome too since gotta go to bank to get money and so restricted to banking hours. will most likely bring cash and credit cards lor i guess....or maybe will use atm card over there...we'll see how bah....

hi oraia
322190.gif
