*stretches
*cracks knuckles
So this is what it feels like to be jobless.
Quite fun so far! Although I don’t know if I’d like a permanent lifestyle like this.
On the first day, Fatty took a day off work so I wouldn’t be bored/lonely. Bless him wtf <3
So here’s a bunch of things I’ve been doing in the past three days.
1. Went to pick up our wedding bands!
A bit surprised by the box. My first thought was “wah lau you think we’re a Tudor king and queen ah” wtf. It seemed really quite old fashioned to me!
Two rings to rule them both wtf.
My ring can actually fit into his -_-
We were so lucky with the rings! This range is called the Love Ring and I’d wanted it as a wedding ring for the longest time.
When we were in Singapore we went to check out Cartier there. And the sales person told us that my finger is too small to fit any of their sizes and I’d have to custom make.
He said it would cost 30% more to custom make. -___________-
Make sense or not you tell me! For my size, you’re probably using like 30% less gold to make the ring so how can it cost 30% more!?!?
I was quite angry at the nerve of it and resigned myself to having random rings from any jeweller’s.
Then the other day I was at KLCC and decided to go to Cartier to have a look at the ring again.
And the very nice sales assistant told me that my size was really the smallest and they didn’t have any pieces left in my size 🙁
But! She said they could custom make it and it would come at no extra cost.
This is more like it! What’s up with you, Cartier at Marina Bay Sands!
The only problem was that it would take 2-3 months to custom make it and it’d be too late for the wedding.
I considered getting cheap temporary rings for the wedding. Like weave rings out of grass or something WTF quite fitting the theme also what hahahaha.
But right after I left the store, the sales assistant called me up and said they found one last piece in their warehouse in my exact size and color I wanted!!!!!!!!
I must have done some good shit in my past life.
Happy!!!
Sales assistant was super nice also. When she passed me the card to fill out my details so they could contact me about customization, she said “please fill this out, Ms Ooi.”
And I had a twilight zone moment where I did a double take and asked, “did I tell you my last name?”
She said, “no but I read your blog.” Hahahahahah.
Then free engraving on the ring! This is what we’re gonna put on it. They said we have to make it short and snappy cos my ring is small not enough letters to fit wtf.
So excited can’t wait to get it back from engraving!!!
2. Watch Korean dramas wtf.
Watching Secret Garden now. How do you say no to a nose like that wtf.
3. Went to go buy my own dowry WTF.
Traditionally, the groom’s family is supposed to come to the bride’s house on a certain day bearing gifts which is supposed to be part of the dowry. Stuff like fruits, certain biscuits and brandy. And red packets I think. Each item and the amount signifies something I think. But because Fatty’s parents are in Penang, Fatty’s mom and my mom asked me to go Petaling Street (Chinatown) and help me buy the stuff hahahaha
So the bride has to help her future mother in law buy to give to her own mother *brain combusts. Why are we doing this again hahahahahaha.
So today I got all dressed up in sexy pajama shorts, baggy tee and glasses to go to Petaling Street and prepare to haggle. Didn’t help that I’m a banana and couldn’t tell the lady what I wanted. End up calling my mom and passing the lady the phone so my mom can order the stuff WTF.
4. Address wedding invitation cards
That’s my current workplace! At home.
Where there is a dearth of human interaction wtf.
Today I kept wanting to call Fatty at work to ask him stuff but stopped myself. Later he think I turn into one of those women who are clingy and keep calling the husband and asking what time they’re coming home wtf.
5. Found myself with a lot of time to get dressed up and made up nicely before going out *cries
No more going to events looking like shit T________T
*shudder. Me at Pizza Hut a few months back.
There’s a filter on this picture but I feel like making my hair blonder like this leh!!!! What you think!
6. Oh yea and in my free time, get followed by Momoko Ogihara T_______________T
Cheesie is in Tokyo right now and she had lunch with Momoko *stifles scream
I AM TWO DEGREES OF SEPARATION AWAY FROM MOMOKO RIGHT NOW.
Ok la Cheesie is on like first name basis with her already lolol.
She’s damn famous already lo until MURUA and EMODA are calling her up and inviting her for events!!!
Then she told Momoko about me and that I love her and…. she followed me on Instagram <3<3<3 Asami Kotake is also someone from MURUA!!
Then Momoko asked Cheesie (and apparently me but maybe Cheesie forced her to wtf) to go for Murua event but we cannot make go over too last minute </3</3
It’s ok! Use Secret to get to go to next Murua event :3 :3
My day is made.

Hope you find something interesting to enjoy your free time 🙂

You look so pretty at the pic on #5.
Now I’m actually curious how small your fingers are til you need the smallest ring size. Lol…

Haha yay!! Means you can update your blog on a daily basis. I love reading your blog. It’s so funny and it makes my day! 🙂 <3
SPOT “I ♥ shorty for a thousand years” haha!
Hahaha “I love shorty for a thousand years”. Will that be on display at the reception during your wedding?
V happy 4 u n v lucky of u 2 b able 2 find yr dream wedding band in time 4 d wedding =)
Good things will happen 2 nice ppl =)
hahaha Audrey how come you brought all the mess at your work desk back to your home :p
And it’s okay lah you don’t look so bad in the pizza photo. My attention was quickly diverted to the lady at the back with her long index finger!
seriously i keep looking at his nose throughout the whole drama. ok im weird
You really don’t look your age, envious… So young & kawaii 🙂
Been reading your blog since your Mt Holyoke days and aiyaa so excited for you and your upcoming wedding. Got even more excited when I saw that you got the LOVE engagement rings from Cartier. Reminded me of how i tried to hint at my bf to get me the bracelet for my birthday… crazy meh straightaway break up.
I was supposed to be writing a politics essay then got distracted la as usual and ended up here and somehow your blog made me want to paint my nails and reallly want to get married la T____T
Since you have nothing to do, paint your nails a million different colours! There’s this OPI shade right called Kiss Me On My Tulips which is like a fuschia but not.. a bright pink but not… only way I can describe is that it’s an Audrey colour (i mean this in the best way possible) and I think you would really LAAAV it! Try it k.
Okay la first time commenting and I talk damn a lot. Bye bye.
hahahahah the pizza photo you look like you only have 2 teeth hahahahaha
OMG about Cartier… What about the price? Was it cheaper in SG therefore the surcharge?
p.s. This show is pretty interesting (you can get it off funshion or tudou).

:O your time spent being unemployed seems so much more productive than my-super-free-time. I really need to do something. Maybe except for watching dramas, I’ve been watching nonstop :O
The pizza hut picture made me LOL literally!!! But still cute n pretty nonetheless! 😀
Secret Garden is a funny K-drama 🙂 (I think you can watch it on Viki with English subs?)
Congrats on being followed by Momoko (and congrats to Cheesie too!)
I think your unemployedness is actually super productive… I need to do more…
You bought gold wedding ring. Don’t you feel weird when you wear it? 2 colors combine together. Errrmmm… also if you don’t mind please PM me ur engagement ring 4C and where Tim got it from? Wanna hint my bf. Tehehe…. Prefer him not to get con by someone jeweler… Thanks a mil..
