My Current Fave Snack

I know this post is silly and meaningless but this is just to document what I feel at this moment.. and right now.. at this very moment, I'm in heaven munching away....

WHAT IS THAT?? That is semi-ripened mango with sambal petis.... odd combination but it so so works! Its like eating Rojak without the nitty gritties...

Sounds awful to some people but at least mangoes contains all the Vitamins I need .. 

Mangoes contain Vitamin A ( of which Beta-Carotene is a precursor and more usable), Vitamins C & E and Selenium.

Mangoes also contain B-complex (anti-stress) vitamins, magnesium, potassium, phosphorus, selenium, Folic acid (folate), and zinc.

Mangoes are very low in Saturated Fat, Cholesterol and Sodium. Plus are a good source of dietary fiber. They also contain some protein and amino acids, about 2% of your daily recommended amount.

I'm not gonna go into petis .. i doubt there's any nutritional goodness in it except giving me smelly breath!

My Cavalli Jeans

I always wanted to channel this rock-chic kinda look.. so to ring in the new year... Fai bought me my second 'Just Cavalli' jeans... which totally rock! He was a bit conservative on buying ..worried sick that I might not like it.. but then when its free you'll love it no matter what! ehehehe

So one the New Year Eve going to work, I wore the jeans, a black cardi top and black patent wedges from River Island (that I was supposed to sell off on ebay and then decided not to!) with River Island sunnies to complete the look... just to show a little appreciation to Hubby so that he feels its worth buying me more stuff next time! lol

My final look... simple... just the way Hubby likes it....

Goodbye 2008.. Welcome 2009

31st December was a bitter-sweet one for me.... first and foremost I started getting jittery because Fai had a fiasco at the airport before flying home! Qatar has this funny rule. You have to check in with the same credit card you booked.. no card, no fly! Fai uses 2 debit card from UOB.. one platinum and one visa electron which is linked to the same savings account.On his last trip while trying to withdraw some cash, his Visa Elctron card was 'swallowed' by the ATM. Called the bank and they said its becasue the card is obsolete so its auto retrival from the ATM and we were told to use the Platinum one from now on as its linked to the same account. Okay so no issue there.. but the unfortunate thing is we purchase the ticket using the VE which is gone! So Qatar officials refused to let Fai fly! I called UOB and there were very helpful in assisting Fai by being on the line for 30 min with them! I even emailed a picture of Fai's Visa transaction as proof! After 45 heart pumping minutes, they finally let him board! phewww....

Next up, I've been transfered out of Ang Mo Kio to Rochor branch.. a little far but it gives me new fresh surroundings (ie, more places to shop!) for 2009.I can have lunch at Hajjah Maimunah, Bugis Junction, Tong Seng Coffeeshop for chicken feet noodles or Serangoon for Thosai & Chapatti!!

Packing up was heart-wrenching, the CSOs kept coming up to me one by one saying how sad it was to see me go.. I hate goodbyes.. so I didn't say it. Instead I bought them A1 curry puffs, packet drinks, dessert from JollyBean as a token of thank you for accepting me as part of them this past year. (okay sounds cheapskate but there was little options in Ang Mo Kio!!) 

Before I left (I had to work a full day mind you!) the Branch Manager Mrs Tan gave me home made chocolates, a watch from all of the staff at the branch and a card that read 

"Dearest Isnarny, Good People are remembered as blessings... We will miss you.. You are Our Sunshine"..  that was a Hallmark moment for me.......

We didn't do anything as spectacular like last year.. no checking in hotels, no balloons drops.. instead we did a last minute BBQ and camping at ECP! It was homely and surrounded by families.. Faiz and Faris had fun with their cousins running around playing with sparklers & lying around with the fresh sea breeze..Not much pictures taken though.. my batt went flat before the new year! Faris stayed up until 4am playing his PSP and running around!

We finally packed up at 9am before going for breakfast at Simpang Bedok... chilling at home with DVDs and sleeping until 6pm!
