I'm so addicted to Doll Maker!

Hey all,

I saw this link http://elouai.com/doll-makers/new-dollmaker.php in FP one day, clicked on it and got addicted to it. Back to my little girl days of doing nothing but dressing and undressing my many many Barbie dolls. Haha....allow me to show off my creations (out of super-boredom, especially when in the office! Shh....).





P.S. I've also tweaked my blog a little. Spot the changes!

P.P.S. I will be away from the office from 31 Oct to 3 Nov! Woooohoooo!! Yippeeeee!!

A Day for Me!

I took leave on Friday (yesterday) just because.....

Can't remember the last time I took time off from work just to laze around and do some stuff by myself so I decided that the day after my MSCP meeting was a good time to take leave.

I woke up LATE.....went to have lunch with my family (which is a rare occasion), then went down to Orchard to do some shopping alone. Sometimes I do love to do my shopping alone. Sure, doing it with friends can be fun and more exciting but usually I end up buying nothing. Meaning when alone, I can spend like nobody's business. No critical eye on the things I'm buying and no "Wah, so ex!" comments on the money I'm spending. It's a great thing to do once in a while....it feels empowering to be able to get out there and buy stuff without having to listen to anyone else's comments except those in my own head. So yeah basically, I blew about $280 on clothes in Iora (after the VIP discount!)!

Then I went to Chezvous for a haircut.....yet more money flying out. I just enjoy the slow and steady way my stylist goes about doing my hair, very unhurried. I love the attention and I also love the end result.....and I'd better....it does cost a bomb!

After my haircut I went shopping around again, walking in and out of any shops I want to while waiting for honey to come meet me. We're gonna meet Kelvin and Jocelyn for dinner and movie later. After we had dinner at the basement of Cineleisure, we had plenty of time to spare before the movie so we walked to Heeren to this shop owned by honey's friend Benno....and yes the name of the shop is Benno. He's one of the local designers to look out for featured in Her World. His clothes are lovely and feminine and each piece doesnt have more than 10 pieces but all that comes with a hefty price tag. I might consider shopping there for a special occasion. A VERY special occasion.

We watched Deuce Bigalow that night and had a load of laughs. Yeah, it is a silly and sexed-up movie and the jokes are really corny but then it was a great way to destress.....laughter's the best medicine or so they say! Interesting movie.....laughed at the Man-whore union and all the things these man-whores talk about. Actually there was one MAIN thing they talked nonstop about.....their little thingy hanging there.....(like what is the fuss all about???).

I was pooped when I reached home but then dilly dally here and there, I only managed to hit the sack about 1 am plus. Darn...going to the Doc on Saturday morning for my follow-up consultation for my hypo-thyroidism. For those who don't know, yep, I have that Hashimoto thingy where my body's anti-immune system is attacking my thyroid gland and therefore I end up with a not-active-enough gland so for the past 3 weeks I have been taking thyroidsine to replace the hormones which are not being produced. I think in another 3 weeks, I will have to take another blood test to see if the medicine is helping or not.

I've been blogging for a year already!

It was my blog's birthday yesterday. And in true Sharon style, I forgot about it until this morning.

I have kind of forgotten why and how I started this blog but well, a year went pass so fast. I think I started it to be able to write about the happenings in my life and some other crap. I've always loved to write and it is one of my favourite things to do. I'm more a writer than a speaker as everyone who knows me is aware. But I'm also more a singer than a writer. Go figure!

Anyway, happy belated birthday to my pretty in pink blog!

Not much happening in my life lately....still mourning and still running to the gym at least 3 times a week. Absolutely love kickboxing and combat yoga classes! These are the 2 must-go classes every week. Oh and besides the gym, I've been busy spending my money on online sprees and also at this blog mybeadz.blogspot.com. I know I said some time ago I want to learn how to make my own jewellery but then ever since I started collecting Belinda's creations, I stopped thinking about doing my own. Why bother when I can get such gorgeous stuff from her!?!!?? I will never be able to make anything as beautiful as her!

P.S. Got my bonus finally after all the months of waiting and guess what?! It was NOT worth the long wait at all!! Hmph!! F**K!!

Dating rules all women should know!

I got this from a podder in Flowerpod. I think it is really helpful for all single and attached women alike!

I especially agree with No. 1, 2, 4 and 16 (in BOLD, RED).

1) If a man wants you, nothing can keep him away. If he doesn't want you, nothing can make him stay.

2) Stop making excuses for a man and his behaviour. Allow your intuition (or spirit) to save you from heartache.

3) Stop trying to change yourself for a relationship that's not meant to be. Slower is better. Never live your life for a man before you find what makes you truly happy.

4) If a relationship ends because the man was not treating you as you deserve then heck no, you can't "be friends".

5) A friend wouldn't mistreat a friend. Don't settle. If you feel like he is stringing you along, then he probably is. Don't stay because you think "it will get better". You'll be mad at yourself a year later for staying when things are not better. The only person you can control in a relationship is you.

6) Avoid men who've got a bunch of children by a bunch of different women. He didn't marry them when he got them pregnant, why would he treat you any differently?

7) Always have your own set of friends separate from his. Maintain boundaries in how a guy treats you.

8) If something bothers you, speak up. Never let a man know everything. He will use it against you later. You cannot change a man's behaviour.

9) Change comes from within. Don't EVER make him feel he is more important than you are... even if he has more education or in a better job.

10) Do not make him into a quasi-god. He is a man, nothing more nothing less. Never let a man define who you are.

11) Never borrow someone else's man. If he cheated with you, he'll cheat on you.

12) A man will only treat you the way you ALLOW him to treat you. Men are NOT dogs. You should not be the one doing all the bending...compromise is two way street.

13) You need time to heal between relationships...there is nothing cute about baggage... deal with your issues before pursuing a new relationship.

14) You should never look for someone to COMPLETE you...a relationship consists of two WHOLE individuals...look for someone complimentary...not supplementary.

15) Dating should be fun...even if he doesn't turn out to be Mr. Right.

16) Make him miss you sometimes...when a man always know where you are,and you're always readily available to him - he takes it for granted.

17) Never move into his mother's house before u are married.

18) Never co-sign for a man. Always keep some money to urself.

19) Don't fully commit to a man who doesn't give you everything that you need. Keep him in your radar but get to know others.
