If I haven’t mention before – there’s something about me.
I am a workaholic.
I constantly worry that I am not working enough, even though I have loads of things to do. It doesn’t matter that Little Red Heels is a perpetual work in progress. It doesn’t matter that Lxxla is ongoing and still growing that we need to nurture it with care.
This month, I seem to be managing the workload better. At least, I found some time to upload new items to Jipaban; and later this week, I’ll be popping by LRH’s rack at First Day (FEP) to do some major stock restructuring.
(I just wish my body will cooperate so I can do all these without any disapproval, but since this is part of me, it is beside the point.)
Having relatively more time makes me want to do more – like going for property course, something I’ve been wanting to pick up for a long time. I am crazy but I don’t know why I can’t bum for nuts.
With all these said, I have one person to specially thank. No prizes for guessing who –>
This pretty amazing of a guy. I think blogshop owners’ boyfriends are the most poor thing. They do all the dirty work – carry our stocks, send out packages, double as photographers at our photoshoot and countless random tasks we can’t handle including pacifying your parents.
For Collin, I always think that I am simply pushing his limits. It doesn’t help that Collin isn’t one who gives words of affirmation. One day he may just snap. But as per many funny things in life (like treasuring your loved ones when they’re still around), you fear but it doesn’t change anything. This is why I always tell my customers, whenever they remember, do treat their boys well, reward when possible and not take their help for granted.
There’s also a saying that to capture a man’s heart, you have to capture his stomach. Obviously, I can’t cook for my life, so I brought Collin to Dozo at Valley Point for his birthday dinner. And yes, it’s freaking yummilicious and value for money!
If you haven’t been there, you should call and book a table now. Just $70 per pax (taxes included) for a 7 course dinner and attentive service.
Why I am a lousy girlfriend? Because I made Collin stay home on his birthday till 6PM so I can finish up my LRH launch. Blah, I suck. This man, strange as he is, was still happy. ♥

The whole experience was made even better ’cause of their fantastic service. The male staff served us a small slice of cheesecake on the house upon knowing that it’s Collin’s birthday and he coincidentally is a great photographer when he cheekily initiated that we do a kiss shot.
So that’s Dozo for you! Definitely worth a return visit when we are feeling the need for a treat. Slurps!
Oh yea, and that’s my new crop! Because intelligent me decided to perm my long ends to a nice round inward curl when I was on my overseas work trip, and the unreliable salon turned my ends to some brown hay that curl all directions but inward. -_-
Oh wells! Hair will grow out and pardon me, but I think I actually look pretty decent in short hair. Muahahaha. Toodles!
