Snoopi's cake
Blur me gave the wrong collection date to the bakery and had to pick the cake up today from US DOGGIE BAKERY at Turf City.
As work ended late AND the bakery closes at 7, I took a cab down.. crazy maybe lol
oh oh there's pet cafe too woh.. and there are rooms to celebrate with other woofy friends too~
The owner of the bakery is extremely friendly and helpful and she said she can customerise my orders anytime :)
Collected the cake and also bought some muffins and cookies for SNoopi~ lol
Then waited for the Turf City shuttle bus to Clementi then took another bus back.. whew.. luckily the cake is intact.
We will help him blow candle tml!
ooh and the cake can be for human consumption too heh
the first time i met snoopi
Banana flavour with vanilla cream
orange flavoured cookies..
sigh but snoopi's presents that i have ordered from overseas are still in the midst of shipping over.. tsk tsk

Anyway it was a last minute decision to meet sharon for some shopping and in the end we bought mostly toiletries at People's Park lol and finally dessert..
Its good to talk to her again.. always.. I think she can understand the "mother's nagging" part suffered by both of us
I decided to try Wella SP series.. now still searching for the SP Energy Serum as the shop in PP is out of stock.. the Energy Shampoo is so much cheaper there too..and it was recommended in URBAN last week.
At first wanted to buy cheong sam for next year's CNY BUT its so expensive.. like 80+? for something i will wear for CNY only.. hmm still looking for cheaper alternatives...
Energy shampoo
The energy serum that I am still looking for...
*********
I found a few floral tops on line.. should I get for CNY?
***********
and i think about random stuff too much.. yet it's only right to think about those things.. afterall..
it's been so long and I need to chart my future as soon as possible now..

Psychological tactic and Top Choice employers
Benchmark salary data out
Pay rose for top earners in all but one profession in benchmark, but civil service wage won't rise
"Ministers and top civil servants will see their annual pay packages shrink by up to 19 per cent compared to this year's.
Their annual pay is pegged to a private sector benchmark set at two-thirds of the median pay of the top eight earners in the six professions.
The benchmark is reviewed yearly. The 2008 benchmark, based on income tax returns for income earned last year, rose, in fact, by 13 per cent over the year before, to $3.05 million, according to figures from the Public Service Division (PSD).
But 'in view of the clouded economic outlook and the likelihood that salaries will be lower next year', the upward adjustment that would have been due in January next year will now be deferred..."
Public sector pay to fall
"All civil servants will also be getting about one month less in various bonuses at the end of this year, as compared with last year.
A statement from the Public Service Division (PSD), which oversees civil service matters, cited the economic slowdown as the reason for the moves.
Civil servants will still receive their 13th month supplement next month. But unlike last year, there will not be a Growth Bonus, which was half a month's pay last year.
The Annual Variable Component, or AVC, to be paid next month, will be half a month's pay, down from one month a year ago.
Civil servants had earlier received half a month's bonus in July, plus a dollar quantum of between $100 and $300 to help them cope with inflation..."
**********
... even if there is a decline in pay.. it still supercedes that of US president
it has been argued, debated before, shant go into details with the government's reasonings..
source: http://usgovinfo.about.com/library/weekly/aa011600a.htm
"Effective January 1, 2001, the annual salary of the president of the United States was increased to $400,000 per year, including a $50,000 expense allowance."
at least I think these "pay cutting" measures will allow people to feel good.. cause they will think "they are not the only ones affected", even bigshots get it etc..
Reason why lawyers will have pay rise cause of the increase in work.. especially for the financial world.. with collapse of banks, retrenchment, solvency cases comes all the legal paperwork.
Banker wise.. the bankers who are taking over other banks/stocks are having a fieldday.

In the afternoon, dear and I went Prawning! lol hmm maybe too long never prawn already and kinda lost our skills sigh.. but nonetheless we caught around 11? lol

Dinner was initiated by dear's dad and he brought us to a new steamboat/satay beehoon stall at Old Airport Road Food centre..

The steamboat uses skewered ingredients instead. lok lok style
