Be your own Santa this Christmas!

Christmas is a few days away... and suddenly my days are packed with lunch appointments. Out of nowhere. I can't meet most of the people I like to see, and so it shall continue into the new year. Today I tried to accomodate meeting two persons but didn't quite work out well, with only the lunch hour to spare.

The boss will be away but he has took the team to an early Christmas lunch filled with thin crusty pizzas. Boss called himself a pizza-monster, and he had 9 slices! Wooohoo. I had 5, came up 3rd in my team of 6, felt very guilty afterwards. It didn't help when he surprised us with adorable Santa and Snowman cupcakes. There's continous supply of chocolates and treats in the office from our business associates - the boss always brings them up for us.

Giving makes one feel very good, doncha think? Like the past years, I would pack small bags of chocolates, sweets and cookies to give away. I also gifted my new lunch buddy at work a small gift, it wasn't an exchange... Today I met my primary school friend for lunch and passed her a small gift too. She sure was surprised. I think surprises are always nice! I have got my surprises too! Thanks Ah man for making the way down to my office with a little red box, and when I opened it, I was delighted - it's packed with DOMO kun stuff! There's also a Santa in the office, making way to everyone's desks distributing little tiny bags, each with Ovalteenies, a chupa chupa & marshmallow. I don't know him, and I don't think he knows everyone, but I guess it's the season of giving... you know.

If you also feel like doing some good, why not contribute to Ronald McDonald House Charities by getting one of these McHappy Day bears for S$3! I just bought one over lunch, my 2nd McDonald's meal this month, I feel quite disgusted, LOL. Actually, it's not too bad since I quite like the fish fillet... so to lessen my own guilt, I got salt-free fries and diet-coke :) Hah. The first time I had lunch there, I saw Grimace, the purple bear, so I told myself I shall visit when they sell Ronald McDonald (which starts today!). I missed the Hamburlger which is also very adorable. The money also helps one of my good friends' daughter whom is benefitting from the charity, she was staying at the Ronald McDonald House when her daughter was undergoing clinical trial in New York. By the way, you don't have to eat there to buy this bear, you can just walk in and make a meal-free purchase.

Not sure where this picture source is from, guess I will copyright this to McDonald's.

气死人的英国蛋

Domo's brother, a karate kid, has arrived. Seeing Domo never fails to make my day. I can't explain why, but probably their "RRAAAWWWWHHH" expression consoles me that my bad day isn't so bad afterall. They make such a lovely pair together, I'm beginning to get addicted to getting more of them. (Subconsciously screaming: STOP!!!)

I'm so angry this evening with Amazon & Cheapsmells, actually not with them in particular but with the way it works in United Kingdom. I bought something to be shipped to my friend in London, only that my billing address is in Singapore. It isn't the first time my order is cancelled due to some stupid brainless security measure!!!!!!! I can use my UK card to make online purchases from Singapore website without any issue, but whenever I try to do it on the UK sites (It's a UK card for god's sake!!!!), it's forbidden. It might be just due to the fact that I bill it to Singapore (But I'm here!!!!!!!). I suspect they do not even know Singapore exists?! SINGAPORE for heaven's sake IS NOT SOME SCAMMING SWINDLING COUNTRY, it's so strict and proper here that we give death sentence to the lightest drug trafficking and ban chewing gum to keep the country clean! Singapore is not in China also (like many thought)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So I seriously am pissed off about why I am unable to use my card if I'm just situated overseas! ROARRRRRRRRRRR... I feel like Domo now.

Chocolate monster arrived!

He so made my day!

Domo-craze

Don't ask me why!

But yes, it's a bit retarded, Domo Kun drives me mad now. I wasn't even attracted to it when I first saw it, but I thought it was quite a cool monster. When everywhere started to sell out fast like hotcakes, my interest in it peaked... as in PEAKED! I really was dying to find one, not the giant size or the mini keychain but a proper palm-sized Domo. I couldn't find any :(

It is Domo's fault that now I am an eBay addict! Domo's going to be punished when he arrives at my doorstep from Hong Kong! Oh well, I do hope he doesn't get lost in the mail first! I bidded for a pink Domo. Just in case you're wondering,"WHAT?! PINK!? Serious??". Yes, it was a limited edition for Valentine's Day in the USA, but I was outbidded by 5 or 6 times. I gave up. It was over my budget to buy and then ship over such an expensive toy. Bidding is so fun!

I am waiting for 2 of them to come knocking on my door. I guess I might be able to find some good deal in my upcoming Taiwan trip too?
