It’s been a while I’ve not blog coz I’ve been really busy. Well here I am; a little update on what’s been happening in my life. Thankful for having new friends and was invited to their house (kind folks out there). Carmen (Power98fm) , Serena Chen (neighbour living above my flat) and JK (Justin Koh) from Power 98FM. They were kind and invited my family and four kids to their home for Chinese New Year! No luck on anyone inviting us to their house for Hari Raya though. Shabir, hope you read this. *hint *hint Anyways, it’s the joy and love of the children experiencing the culture of different festive in Singapore. After all, my kids are the fourth generation! Till next time, have a good day and god bless! :)

Thank U dinner - People's action party

Jeremy was approached by the then PAP Pasir Ris Punggol Minister Ms Penny Low, if he could record and produce the constituency election messages ie "Vote for the PAP" "Election Rally" and "Thank You". He volunteered his services for over a week. The Best Thank You dinner! Feels like a WEDDING dinner coz the food was awesome! What's more awesome is that our family with our kids were invited to dinner!! The uncle sitting next to junior adores him and fed him food throughout dinner! So cute! The food was scrumptious! Someone was celebrating their birthday and there was the loudest, happiest Yum Seng from another table! Really enjoyed that evening. Honoured to be there. Took a picture with DPM Teo Chee Hean, Ms Penny Low and Eng Chee Meng.

Thank Ü PAP! Congrats! #papsg

Lunch with Pornsak

Lunch buffet at The Hotel InterContinental Singapore with Pornsak this morning, May 9th 2015. As Pornsak makes his way around the table he notices my hubby Jeremy and myself. Funny when he asked me what are the most memorable time Jeremy did for me. I paused for a moment to get the right answer. Lol. It wasn't a Q&A so yeah; all in the name of fun and laughter-candid moment. It's nice to have met the video camera man once again at the event. The last time we met him were at our house for the recording of Channel 5, Meet My Family Season 2.  

Totally forgot to take a selfie with pornsak. When it's time for lunch everyone queued. We were told to join another queue so we did as told. But upon joining another queue, once again another guy told us to return back to the queue we were queing in the first place! Reason: Not opening the other section of the buffet area. Apparently they did after 5 minutes. (",)  Directions given by the ushers were a bit messy. 

I return back to the other section coz I thought maybe they had the kueh pie tee's cups (casing) as they had ran out of it. First the filing (toppings) were gone and the cups (casing) were left. Next moment more filings (toppings) and no cups (casing) for filling those pie tee. And as I was walking to that section, one of the ushers (girl) stopped me and said "oh, we ran out of food". I told her that the other section of the buffet area have not top-up the kueh pie tee cups (casing) and I thought maybe this section has it. When she said all the food is gone I was shocked. She wasn't helpful and directed me by saying ask one of the chefs. I said oh, ok..Which I end up not to. Waited patiently untill one of the chefs brought out a few cups (casings) in a tray to the buffet area. Came across  a  man who were so impatient (could tell from his body language) that he can't wait to take all the pie tee for himself. It takes time to fill up the pie tee cups but he seems impatient. Oh well..  *_*

There were lots of hungry and impatient people. Sometimes I don't  understand human beings; the food will still be there. Nowadays it's  hard to find true gentlemen who give way to ladies first. A little advise; take only what you need and never waste food especially at buffets. But sometimes people tend to over indulge. Overall food was quite alright except that I totally missed out trying the satay. It was all gone in split seconds. :(

The cooking demonstration were alright just a little bit too long as I expected. Overhead a lady asking when is it going to end? And as I was making my way to the ladies, a mother was feeding a small piece of chiffon cake from the buffet to her child. Poor thing.

It all ended with Pornsak riding a bicycle with a basket full of carnations that were given to all the mothers at the event for Mother's Day.

Thanks Mama Lemon! And to my hubby Jeremy for being there by my side. He stood up awake even though he's  totally exhausted. Love 'ya! ♡

Till next time;  L♡VE Jamie J.

Quotes of the day

TRUE Sincere Friends never take advantage of their friend's kindness. Or leave them in the dark once they found other better friends. 

In life, being too materialistic makes a person lose their focus and living the simplicity of life. Most unfortunately you'll become ignorant. 

Happiness consists not in the multitude of friends, but in the worth and choice.

Now this is a story i want everyone to know. 

We've  known this guy since early 2007 when little nicole was still in my tummy. He watched all my four kids grow. Until one day an incident happen and changed everything in our friendship. Throughout the years we've  known him, he had a girlfriend that mistreated him and always quarreled in front of us whenever we all went out together. He ended the relationship with her and now he's  found another girl that he really like a lot. Over the years we've  known him and his current girlfriend, without fail, we will send him Christmas and Chinese New Year greeting cards. We never get any in return. Neither did we get invited to his home or girlfriend's place for Christmas and CNY celebrations. Guess my kids will never know what CNY celebrations is all about. Living in a multi society here in Singapore, the kids don't get to experience the culture and celebrate CNY. Doing things like going visiting to our chinese friend's home, giving them hongbaos and oranges. We do that when our neighbour invite my family to their home. 

Once again; it's once a year celebration and its the effort that one makes; that's important. Yet none did. Till today we don't know much about his parents OR her parents and family. Guess he's too busy with his handphone or should  I say; his social media life that he didn't make an effort to return the festive cards or do such things in return. We treated him as part of our family but we feel like he didn't treat us the same way. We even invited him to my MIL's home to come over to eat JR's mum's cooking. And both of them ate like there's no tomorrow. There was an incident of me serving two plates of watermelon for each couple. I'm a giving person when it comes to sharing food (and my parents taught me to think of others before oneself) but mind your manners girl! Greedy isn't the way a lady behaves at someone's home. Boy thunder stays over at our house almost every single night and most times his girlfriend comes along, watch tv, chat, eat , stay till late hours in the morning! And the morning after most of the time, I'll make an effort to make breakfast for them and sometimes buy macs or kaya toast from kopitiam. Treated them like royalty, provide them with comfortable bed, change new sheets/pillow cases/ blankets/towel/toiletries everytime they sleep over literally like their own home. And when she have period cramps i made sure she's ok and was there for her. And the thanks my husband and i get?! A couple who make use of my family kindness and afterwards find a way to drift apart.

Well at least they know our family but over the years, BT and his girlfriend  can't be bothered to make an effort to introduce his family to us. Maybe because  he's staying with his parents and his excuse was that his house were messy. Gosh. I remember when i was young, I invited all my friends to my parents home. And no excuses of such. Its a joy inviting our friends over to our humble home. Till today we're still the same. We teach our kids to respect our elders and teach them what's wrong and right. And we don't  take our friends kindness or take them for a ride. Well; the ride ends here for a friend that we've  known for years. 

It's sad to know that a friend of ours whom we treat as part of our family took advantage of our kindness. We fed him, took care of him & girlfriend, invited him & girlfriend to our humble home, numerous stayover in our house countless times & hotels staycation overnight in our hotel room. Although it was a little crowded and noisy with his snoring, we didn't mind at all. We still respect our friends but what the heck is wrong with them?! Invited him to our wedding anniversary and numerous birthdays / Christmas parties. I feel hurt and worst of all; he and his girlfriend left without saying goodbye. If you ask me; it's totally rude. My kids looked up to him as a kor kor/uncle and I guess he is just blinded by love with his current soon-to-be married girlfriend. He's willing to do anything for her including ditching friends like my family. Thinking back, his ex-girlfriend ShanShan is far better than her! Seriously better and converse well with us. 

If he really admit his mistake and not blaming me for unfollowing him on social media instead, things would have been good. Being PETTY with things like these is just a pathetic excuse to ditch your good friends. I unfollwed him on Instagram coz firstly, i got the right to do so, it's not personal and IT IS my personal account. I do not need a reason to explain why I unfollowed. Once again, it's my personal account. Furthermore what kind of friend would check on all their friends why that person unfollowed them and get even with me. I do not tolerate people who are being petty and immature. It's not the end of the world if you lose a few followers. Boohoo; don't be a baby. 

In fact, I wanted him to realize something was wrong; I had the courtesy to say "bye, see 'ya guys" by sms on that night. And he responded "we'll meet up for crab dinner soon". And pretended nothing happened and that he had left us. Don't tell me that he didn't realize it was wrongful of him to do so! The Boy Thunder that we knew (before he knew this 2nd girlfriend) was  not like that. He is more polite and kind but he's changed! When asked why he did it, his excuse were that, he didn't want to be seen with his/our ex-colleagues, Andre and Shaun from another radio station. The minute he and his girlfriend waited by the side for us coz we were taking pictures with our ex- DJ colleagues and next moment; they were gone!! Why does he/she have to behave that way? We normally hang out for supper together but this time; he's shown his true colors. His true self. Or is it always been her intentions? Why did they ask my family to go their way instead coz we were already heading towards another exit door. We  then went their way and later, they both ditched us, especially my kids. I don't think my kids deserve that kind of treatment or behaviour. And since all the immature behavior from him & girlfriend are all unnecessary; I feel that there's a line we need to draw before it gets worst. Life is full of dramas. Do NOT need more of that. If he does apologies, its not me that he needs to say sorry to; its my kids that wondered why kor kor Boy Thunder & fiancé left them and it's totally rude and uncalled for... just because they claim that they don't want to hang out or be seen with ex-dj's work friends, doesn't mean have to be rude. You know what, forget it. I forgive him. Not her, she like to copy others and she's got some manners to learn and respect others in order to gain respect.

Thinking back; he invited my husband and I to their wedding and said, "hey come to my wedding, we'll get extra chairs for your 4 kids but they can sit at another table at the end of the room". And they hate the idea of inviting the other halves (plus+ one nonsense is just being selfish. Couples are invited together especially at wedding not seperate them!) They want my 4 kids to sit at the far end of the room away from my husband and I. And they want to "earn" back their money (expenses paid for their wedding). How LOW can they go? And how many times does these two clowns wanna have wedding receptions and on seperate days Coz they obviously want to "make back" or "earn" back their expenses. And not inviting us as a family; no common sense if you were to ask me. 

She probably got no money everytime we all go out for dinner, she can't be bothered to fork out money. Know how to eat but don't know how to initiate. 

BT, since that woman of yours BOTHER to read this everytime to check on me, Thanks for reading! Spent so much time; effort; money on them dining out and treating them like family and my hubby taught him everything about radio; a mentor; got him a job into another radio station..yet this is the thanks we get. Good riddence, they're out of our lives coz someone like his girlfriend/fiancé, do NOT deserve respect from us. He's always proud claiming that he's good at "pretending" towards people around him. Treating his friends like puppet. Bravo. Always want as many free stuff/sponsors from people. Smile in front of you but talks bad about you behind your back. 

Respect others before calling other people names. Or at least get a dictionary. Calling Me a "whore"  is like calling herself one. Girl, Look at yourself in the mirror. You're no better yourself if you behave like that calling other people names!

People need to learn that their actions do effect other people. So be careful what you say and do, it's not always just about you!..

Not controlling one's life but don't behave like a child. Be tactful. 

The moral of the story is not to take your friend's kindness for granted. True Friendship is hard to find. Most are just plastic from the outside and not sincere from the inside. Animals behave better than "OBSESSED" people who behave like animals. I really can't be bothered with hypocrites. Move on dude!! It's REALLY PATHETIC.  

Immature people always want to win an argument,  even at the end of a relationship. Mature people understand  that it's always better to lose an argument and win a relationship. 

Once again stop being obsessed about reading my blog. I never gave you a reason to hate me. You're just creating your own little drama of pure insecurity. 

A real woman doesn't have to throw dirt on another female's name to feel more secure about herself. 

 

LollyTalk

A new craze for the New Year 2015! I simply love LollyTalk at Plaza Singapura. They're absolutely cute and tasty! These hard candy sweets are devine and I managed to watched how they process the handmade candy. It's amazing! You could customized the candy with words or pictures. Little hearts, flowers, company's name, minions, there's even pillow types of hard candy with different flavors!  Yum! And great service too!
