Jean is Back with Full Blast!

Hey peeps! I am finally back. Please ignore the extremely suicidal post about me feeling like a total moron when I first started out my work in Singapore. Now , I am a proud architect in a huge architectural firm in Singapore and most of all, I get higher pay and better prestige here as compared to the previous lousy firm. During my hiatus and absence from the blogosphere, I received countless e-mails telling me to hang on and be strong in the competitive society. I wasn't able to reply the e-mails because I was extremely busy with work.Now that I have finally found the balance in work and life, I will reply the e-mails slowly.

I came to know that I wasn't stupid, I was being condescended based on my nationality by a boss who was also a Malaysian. It's very stressful to think that Malaysians usually metamorphosised into arrogant Singaporeans/Permanent Residents after they have stayed long enough in that island. I personally find that Singaporeans are very polite, well-educated and humble in personality ( Unlike some cheap Malaysians-turned-Singaporeans with low pay and shitty jobs ).

And babes, I am proud to say that I can finally own luxury brands like Chanel ,LV and Prada with just 1/2 month salary. Hooray to that !( Take that, my Malaysian doctor friends who told me I couldn't make it in Singapore because I am an architect!). Pay is great here in my new company ( which is the architectural firm that completed ION Orchard, St Regis and the latest shopping mall would be JCube in Jurong East). Plus, my working time is lesser compared my previous firm. Praise the Lord for that! I can have more shopping time and beauty sleep.

Needless to say, I shopped until I almost fell in the train. Great life, I reckon! I've just signed as a member of Guerlain, Chanel, YSL, SK-II,Clarins, Lancome, Clinique, Estee Lauder, Kanebo, Christian Dior, Lancome, Sephora and Kiehl's. Currently, Burberry membership is still invalid in Singapore, so I couldn't sign up despite the amount of products I've just bought from Burberry counters. Givenchy and La Mer are next !Why did I shop like mad? The answer is simple. My firm is in Orchard. Tangs Plaza, Scotts Square, ION Orchard, Paragon, Takashimaya, Ngee Ann City and Shaw Tower are in very close proximity. Life is really good here.

The best feeling is ... I am able to repay my mum and family for their kindness and endless support.I can never be able to send that much money home if I were to work in Malaysia. Good news come in a row; my brother is now under full sponsorship by Malaysia's Ministry of Science, Technology and Power to fund his Master/PhD research,my little sister scored excellent grades in her examinations every time and Mummy has been awarded as Outstanding Teacher/Headmistress of the Year. My darling boyfriend is scoring excellent CAP for his Master research in NUS, and gained praises from his Professors and Fujitsu directors from Japan.I am overjoyed by their achievements. I am hoping that my whole family will migrate to Singapore to stay with me.

I am still in the process of sorting out my photos for beauty reviews. I will start with Lancome and Chanel first , I guess. I just gotten myself a set of SK-II products, so I need to try them out first before publishing the reviews to public.

Although I am based in Singapore, I will still travel to JB to hunt for more beauty products. So, yes, I can now try and review products from two countries! Yes, I admit that it's very greedy and indulgent of me, but I like it.

Hey, Happy Chinese New Year, hotties. Don't stop pampering yourself, it's not the end of the world yet.

Hey Sheila, I hope you're doing well there. Please, please hang on and stay strong ( I wanted to say stay happy, I fear that you're not feeling happy at the moment). If it's okay to shop your pain away, do so. Nothing wrong with that. You will get your perfect life back, I promise!

Lots of muackas for you =)
