Goodbye 2009, Hello 2010

31.12.2009. Today mark the last day for 2009 & welcoming the brand new year for 2010.
Everyone in the office were rushing on their monthend closing & at the same time happily counting down to knock off at 12.20pm since our company have officially declared half day off.

Reaching home at 2pm & get myself some rest in order to allow me to have sufficient energy to have fun!!! Dear came to pick me at 4pm. Went back to his house to have some rest & prepare ourselves at 8pm to meet our friends for our dinner celebration as we usual.

We reached Bugis at 8.30pm & wait for my galfriend to close her shop. In the meantime, we were thinking of our dinner venue. We decided settled it at Bugis Junction Fish & Co. & ordered our food. Dear & I ordered a jumbo seafood platters, giant drink for ourselves while our friends settled with 2 set of fish & chips. When our food are served, they were fascinated by our huge filling & the appetite we had we finished off our jumbo set.

Having our new year eve dinner with our friends @ Bugis Fish & Co.

Dear & me with our last pic for 2009 before we welcome a brand new year 2010.

Our Jumbo Seafood platters!

After our dinner @ 11.45pm, we drove up to Marina expressway bridge to have a view of fireworks to welcome the year of 2010. When the clock strike at 12am, fireworks flashes up into the sky, everyone was shouting, taking out their camera to capture the last moment of 2009. The most shocking is the jam @ at the expressway where all the vehicles stopped and jammed the whole expressway to catch an eye of the firework despite traffic police were actually stopping at the road shoulder. As i was watching the fireworks, i asked myself. What to set for my 2010 resolution?? I guess i already have a list on my blog.. Hope i will be able to fulfill all~

Goodbye 2009, welcome 2010!

To avoid the jam, we decided to leave early to Hortpark. In the end, we missed our way there and was trapped in the maze for 20 mins before our friend relied on the GPS to get our way out to Mount Faber instead. I thought i would be able to have a view of the Xmas tree at the Jewel Box but apparently the lights are off and there i missed it. We went to Bendemeer for our kopi session & headed home at 3.30am.

Goodbye to all the bad luck for 2009, hope 2010 will be a good year for me, u & u & u!!! =)

New hair cut

I have been having my stri. hair for the past 1 yr & feel it's time to change to have a new hair style. Dilemma of if to get a perm or rebond again which make me to check out with my colleagues & friends for opinion.

Made an appointment with my hairstylist on Sunday afternoon. Upon arrival, i still having thoughts of getting perms although most of my answers to my question is rebond. I miss my old perms!!!

In the end, i decided to leave it to my hairstylist to get a new image & she decided to use the latest treatment to perm my hair.

My new hair style

After the whole 4 hrs of ordeal, i made my way down to town to meet my bf. Asked him to comment on my new style, all i gotten answer was: "U love & comfortable with it, can liaoz." OMG.. I know he prefer me in stri. rather than perm hair more., but still he gave me this comforting comment. So sweet of him~ Some of my friends love it while others still prefer my stri. cos it looks a bit matured or i can say auntie.

2nd day of my perm, i started to regret. Cos the fringe & the perms are so unmanageable. I asked my bf on his opinion & i know that he will say i am stupid to waste so much money on it. Instead, he told me that most impt i must be comfortable with it. Awww~~ so understanding & sweet. =)

So guys, stri. hair will be on the way when u see me post up another time in 2010?

Merry Xmas ~~~~

Santa Claus is coming to town~!

It has been such a long time ever since i have updated my blog. Many things happened these 3 months ever since the last post.

Going through a friendship obstacles test being challenged for both couple, all the sadness, dilemma, questioning & standing have been reflected out in our mind. At times, I am about nearly unable to go through all these after our 6 yrs friendship. Every time, i keep questioning where my standing, am i being the one sided party.. etc.. Fortunately, things turn out to be better after truthful part being reflect from them. And here, we have reconciled our friendship & going stronger as ever.

How i wish we will not go through any of these thing ever again. Cos it's just torturing.

I would like to apologise to my dear friend "Crystal" for not able to attend her wedding on last Saturday cos i am away to KL. I saw those clips & pics on her wedding day posted on her fb, you guys really damn rox & it's something which i seldom see in any of the wedding before not to include celebrities. This is so special & heart-warming.

Unfortunately, i am unable to join the guys on your day. I would like to wish the newly-wed couple:
祝你百年好和，早生贵子！

Enough of the sadness & apologises part cos happiness is around the corner!! Guess?? Yes! It's the moment where I get to eat lots of log cakes, buffet, chocolates and not to mention gifts!! Yeah, it's Xmas!!!

This is the only festive which i love most of all. It is not about receiving of gifts but is the decorations & lots lots of xmas treess... not to forget all the gathering.. Cos of most us are always label as the busiest mens & ladies.. (ok ok, i know you guys wanna say it's me!! i admit to it.. * flag white tissue*).

Today is the last day of last min shopping for those who have not gotten any yet or topping up of gifts. Guys, what u are waiting for..!! Time for shopping~!!!!

I am meeting the gals up tonight for a steamboat gathering & gift exchange @ Bugis. Looking forward to meet the guys & i bet tonight will be a wonderful & happening night for all of us.

Hohoho.. Santa Claus is coming to town.. Last but not least, Merry xmas to all & hope you will have a wonderful festive season ahead.

I have been having insomnia these few days thanks to the gals & i am backed home with bloated stomach which allowed me to have a nice sweet dreams.. thanks darlings.

- 11th Sept:

Arrived at AH , 8.12am. Went for my surgery at 8.45am & was pushed out by 10.30am.
Everything seems ok. I was monitored for 1 hr in case of excess bleeding & was discharged at 1pm. Felt a bit discomfort, cannot open my mouth wide as usual therefore will need to use a small spoon to eat my soft food & that makes me hungry at times. Face start to swollen. I am still able to mutter at times. haha. but this does not dampen my mood to catch a midnight FD4 movie in 3D version at Vivocity on the day itself.. And this is the day i start my 8 days HL. hiakz

Today is the 4th day of my HL, everything seems ok except for my swollen face. They rest still manageable. Received a call from AH to check on my conditions after surgery which not all hospital do that. Customer service was damn gd~ this makes me wanna go back to them for any dental. The nurse reminded that i need to back to AH on Thursday morning to remove my stitches.

Hope by the day i have my stitches remove, my swollen face will subside. =)

Extraction of tooth

It's has been quite sometime i did not update my blog. Have been busy with overcoming my toothache.. so no mood to be online or write a blog.

Thanks to all my friends who have read & commented on regards to my blog.. i know i am nagging in some ways but i will try to make it as summary as possible.

Went for my extraction of my 2nd molar tooth last Saturday afternoon at Alexandar Hospital. I was appointment to meet my endodontist on my root canal therapy (RCT). Did 2 x-ray (1 big - where you can see your whole teeth while the other only reflect 2 teeth in the x-ray film), in the end i was asked to extract rather than RCT cos of my shaky & rootless tooth so i was refer to a GP for extraction instead.

The GP explained to me on my extraction & the x-ray reflected that i have 4 wisdom tooth not yet remove. She advise me to get all extract at 1 go rather than 1 by 1 cos it may affect the rest of tooth crook if i don't. Before extraction, i was given 3 anesthetic & waited for 15 mins for the whole thing to works. In the end, i was given 1 more anesthetic due to the pain & straight go for my extraction. The whole process took less than 1 min to have it extracted out. Well, of cos i do not feel the pain but i felt the twist & pull of my tooth. I was given a bag of gauze to change in order to stop the bleeding.

While making payment I was given a form for my next appointment to have the wisdom tooth extraction. I was told that i will be given 8 days of MC to rest at home. As i need to get permission from my boss on this, so i toreplied that i will call back appointment booking & head back home.

The worst part of the whole thing is when the numbness subside, i started to feel the pain, discomfort & throat pain. I ran to the kitchen & pop in 2 pills of painkiller, gaggle my mouth with salt water ( those who have throat pain can try this cos it works) & drink 2 cups of warm water.

2nd day of my extraction i feel discomfort while trying to eat cos the food will drop down to the hole. Thank god this does not last long, I had a better appetite & less pain today but the discomfort is still there.

I do foresee that the worse will be 2 mths later when i go for my next wisdom tooth extraction operation. This is also the time i could have slim down & quit smoking??? ha! well see.. =p

Hope she will be recover soon~

As usual, i will pack food for my granny whenever i am on my way back home. Granny have been requesting to eat noodle for her dinner. Went to kopitiam & packed roasted meat w/ wantan mee for her & myself.

When i opened the door, i did not see granny as usual sitting in the living rm w/ lights on, waiting for me. All i heard was her calling out for me while she was sitting on the floor outside her bedrm. I was shocked. I put down my things & went to ask her if she have fallen down. Negative is the answer i have gotten from her.

As my granny cant control her bowels, she have to wear disposable pampers. She asked me to help her changing her pampers. I went near her & smell of urine. She had urinate on her pants w/o wearing any pamper. I try to asked her to stand up but she is too weak so i decided to carry her up instead. I realised that she is much heavier than i thought. In the end, I clean, change her pamper & soil pant. Checked if she wants to have her dinner but was told that she did not have any appetite.

I went to the living rm & realised that the food was untouched. She had not taken a single food or drink for the whole day. I started to worry & suspect that she could have a fall the day before yesterday cos i found her lying on the floor in her bedrm when i am back home.

I told my uncle abt it & he have a talk with my granny to check if she do have a fall these few days. Answer: Positive. With some persuasion, she agreed to go to the hospital. My uncle is afraid that she may have hurt her head due to her complain of giddiness. 10 mins later. ambulance came & my uncle accompany my granny to Changi hospital.

Now, here i am at home helping to clear up the mess in the house & also waiting for my uncle to call me on the result from his side.

Hope everything will be fine & she will recover soon.

A cancelled trip made me feel useless

We met our friend to have supper with the our couple friend at Geylang for dim sum on Monday night & a friend of mine mentioned on the Jetstar on-going promotion to Taipei which cost abt $279 per pax/round trip. I was a bit tempted to it cos have always wanted to go but never had a chance to. Sad right?? My bf seems a bit interested so i went back to my company the next day to see if i have sufficient leave for this trip.

I received an sms from my friend yesterday night on the total charges for flight & hotel. As i was busy so am unable to return msg to her. Cos we planned to have a 1 week trip there in Aug due of the PH. The cost of the hotel seems a bit steep for me so i decided to have a check in net to see if there is any cheaper bargain. I found that direct booking with the hotel is cheaper than those which book through some online booking agent.

I was anxious of my finding & send an sms to my friend to inform her on this. We are exciting discussing on the cost & before anything i need to check if my bf have book his leave for the trip. I called him up & checked with him, in the end we ended the call unhappy.

He feel he is quite financially tight these few months becos of a lot of spending this month. I keep asking him if he really dun want to go, what i gotten from his reply is.. Can. can go.. spend all the money lor if you wanna go.. i feel so upset.. if he do not want to go could say so, but then he say dunno leh all the time. The worse is he quickly end our conversation by saying.. well, that it right, then bye!! I gonna put down the phone.

Well, i was feeling upset & useless at that moment. Upset is becos of his reply to me. If he feel that way, we can have our trip cancelled. I am ok with it. The most i can still have the trip next year with my friends. I dunno why he have to sound in this way & made me feel that i am demanding. To me it's just a trip no big deal although a bit disappointing.

Feeling useless cos this gave me a track back of what he had told me sometime back. Remember he told me that his friend can buy his gf/wife this & that becos anything happen he still have his wife to support him what abt u?? I was like, thanks for reminding that i am poor, useless & unable to supportive to him if anything happen. This kind of things cannot be compare as both of us gals work & earn in different ways. She had a shop as income where at times maybe earning more or less. As for me, i am just only a normal 8-6pm account gal with a fixed income earning less than market value outside.

At times, he feel that my friend can get a Gucci bag for his hubby but what can i give him?? He likes expensive watch which i wish to buy it for him but my income does not allow me to. What can i a person like me who have lots of burden on hand buy these kind of things. I felt so helpless. If i am born to have a golden spoon on my mouth, do i have to feel in this way??

On my way back home, many thoughts flowed into my mind & this thing have been making me feel so depressed that i shed tears. Not becos of the trip cancelled but was this thing that made me feel so upset.

Is it true that people who are born to be poor will be helpless in this kind of thing?? I really felt so.

Anyway, i still wanna thanks my friend for inviting us to join them for the trip cos she knows that i really wanted to go but too bad guys i still have to forgo this trip again. Hopefully, we will have it another time.

I do hope to get over everything & have a happy start tomorrow. Yes, I can do it!

D day of my acceptance of our 2nd stage

We went to collect my ring from Goldheart at AMK Hub before heading to Ah boy's house for his baby full month. I was quite satisfied with the ring & it also min requirement of what i want.

You guys must be wondering what is this ring i am mentioning abt?? Yeah, that's my proposal ring. I guess another question should be popped up from your mind must be: Why am i collecting the proposal ring instead of him popping the ring to me during his propose?? Reason due to: i choose it, in case my boy gotten the wrong design i want. Gals should know that guys are always insensitive to this kind of thing. =p

After collection we met our friend & went to ah boy's house for the celebration.
Congrats Ah boy on his newborn baby boy. so cute~

After we had our buffet dinner, bid goodbye & head down to pick Cyndi up before heading to Orchard for some GSS window-shopping. While we are done with our shopping, on the way back to car park, Cyndi asked to have a look at the ring. Dear showed & he was asked when is he going to propose. The whole process was quite funny & dear felt awkward. Well, i expect him to propose to me at home rather but everything happened at Orchard Car park yesterday night so quickly.

My proposal ring

While on our way to our car, he opened the car door for me & request me to sit in the car.. Next thing before i knew, he was kneeling down & comically pop out the question. " Will you marry me??" Well, this should be the touching moment which most of the gals should have shed tears of joy becos of this. but then i was laughing away due to his expression...

Actually, i was also quite a bit taken by surprised which made me unable to reply back "Yes, I do" .. A gal friend of mine say i am very anti climax but then this is too comical which i really do not know how to respond den. After a moment, i nod my head & reply: "Yes"

He took the ring & put in on my finger & gave me a kiss of acceptance on my hand & lips for the joy. Well, I can say everything happened damn fast.

"Yes, I do"

I know some of the couple proposal are grand & contain of surprises with nice surrounding, flowers but not mine. Cos HE is just a simple & shy guy who i am willing to spend my life in my remaining yrs. So cannot expect much from him.

"That it will never come again is what makes life so sweet. "

I just enjoyed the process of proposing & most imptly is the sincerity in him. Do feel grateful of all these & do not take things for granted cos you will never know that there are some couple out there where they married without any proposing.

So I am already contented with what i have & looking forward to our future. =)

"Gratefulness is the key to a happy life that we hold in our hands, because if we are not grateful, then no matter how much we have we will not be happy -- because we will always want to have something else or something more."

Cherish family ties

These few days has been quite dramatic for me. A lot of things happened, worries, tears, joy & disappointment.

I also experienced the family ties of caring & concern show within them. The relationship bonding is something which i am unable to experience from my own family esp. parents. They are the people who will be there for you through thin & thick whichever time u are going through.

Do feel grateful whenever concern & care they show for you & do not take it for granted for their actions. No matter what happen, they will always be the one to stand for you which none of yr friends could ever do it.

Opening up & heeding opinions & advises from family members are always the best as they knows what is best for u. Not your friends or anybody else, cos u are not the person who will stay with you for the rest of ur life neither will they be there to scarifies for the sake of it.

"The love of a family is life's greatest blessing"

so do cherish it before it's too late. Time will not turn back just to give you a second chance of repaying.

3 days continously invitation

I think am quite lucky this mth. I gotten 3 invitation to attend or share the happiness with 2 families & friends. I think is the age that catching up where i will need to attend a lot of functions like the below:

1) Sec mate's house warming

Date: 06 June 2009
Time: 7pm
Venue: City Sq Residences

I am invited to attend the housewarming today with some of my sec mates. Well, sort of a gathering day for us since we do not meet up often. A group of us decided to get Capitaland voucher for him & i initiated to help to buy since my bf stay near at 1 of the shopping mall. When i reached there, i saw a long q due to a promo of GSS redeemable shopping gifts conducted by the mall. Approached the counter to ask for the voucher but was sold out.

Since a friend of mine mentioned that he wanted a steamer, we decided to get him a novita steamer at Mustafa (since he is staying near there). Dear chauffeur me to Mustafa & i went to have a look at the steamer while waiting for 1 of my friend to arrive. After purchasing, we were asked to wait for the packing & was only able to collect it at 7.15pm when we were already there at 6pm. The guys carried the present & we reached our destination.

Nice condo with lots of facilities around such as the personal bowling alley which not most of the condo have. Went up to his unit & was amazed that he have 4 toilets within his unit.. lolx.. After viewing, we had our buffet at the function rm & gather for a while chit-chatting. We went behind the condo to have a smoke & chit chatting again.. I also took some of the pics with my sec mate (which i have save it in my fb).

9.15pm. I need to meet my bf near the condo area as he have been waiting for me for few hrs. The guys accompanied me to the main entrance. Suddenly, i felt that 2 hrs is not enough for me, i missed them so much.. had a bit of hesitation to leave but have to.

I bid goodbye to them & how i wish i can meet these interesting friends of mine again.

See you guys again.. we shall meet in another time but in the meantime do take care. =)

2) Ex big boss baby full mth

Time: 9 am
Venue: St Joseph Church

Congrats to Kaven & Veron on your big day. Sorry that we are unable to attend the dinner.

Wish both of u happiness & zao sheng gui zi.. =)

Friends or not ?!?!?

A friend of mine & I have not been talking to each other ever since 2 weeks ago. I do not know what had happen. I just know that the time when she saw me, she ignored me & gave me a face. Well, what can i do then?? i just ignore her when she wants it that way. I have known her ever since the day i started dating with my bf. I know her character well & i know something did pissed her off which explained her reaction towards me but then i really did not know what is it.

I guessed it should be the incident where i am angry with my bf after a dinner at the couple's house which is the only thing i could think of. I am grateful & thanks for the dinner that she had prepared & even extend her invite to join them for dinner but then i was angry with my bf on sth but not anything else. Maybe she saw me in foul mood & may think that her good means may lead to my foul mood. I dunno ???

Well, i would like to apologise if there is really my fault. As a friend if she still do not know me well & still feel in this way. Well, i have nothing much to say.

My bf & his hubby are best friends. Every time, they will meet up during weekend. I have decided to join my bf to their outing as less as possible to avoid any awkwardness. 2 guys facing with 2 gals who dun even talk is a bit awkward to them. Instead of giving them this kind of feel, must well, i have it avoid.

All i can say is, no one is perfect in this world not even to a perfectionist. Everyday is a learning process to us towards our mistake or life. People recognise our good & bad only after they acknowledge or correct us. 1 thing are able to view at different angle but it depend on how we see them.

This is a cycle of learning process in our life which all of us will need to face it everyday.

Let's hope things will turn to for better.

Trip to Bkk

Just got back from BKK yesterday. It has been quite a fruitful trip for the 3 of us. Apart from this, i also learnt & understand my colleagues better than before & realised that working & travelling together is so much difference.

1st day upon arrival

We arrived at BKK airport at 9.30am (bkk time) & took a cab to our hotel at Baiyoke Suite for checking in. When we went into our rm, sth did corp up but then have been solved after that.
After leaving our bags in the rm, we went straight to platinum for our shopping & lunch.

We had our early lunch first as our mummy Sam & little Ut Teng are hungry. We ordered a bowl of fish maw, thai fried mee hoon, Ut teng's hot noodle & some juices. After which, we did lots of shopping & walk through all shops in almost every level. Nearly evening, we were all exhausted from all the walking & decided to have a rest & had a drink of coffee at the Black Canyon Cafe.
We also had some crepes too. As we had lots of thing on our hands, we decided to head back to the hotel to leave our things, had a bath & headed to chinatown to have our seafood dinner then to waruput. We reached hotel at 12pm, bath & went to bed to prepare for our next trip.

2nd day in BKK

We woke up at 8am to prepare & had our hotel breakfast buffet at 9am. We took a cab & went to Chinatown " Sampeng" to have a walk. At abt 5pm, we decided to head back to hotel as we are both perspired & also the weather looks like it's going to rain. Luckily, it rained when we are on our way in the cab back to hotel. All of us had our bath & decided to head down to pratumun to have a walk despite of the heavy rain.

At 8.30pm, we decided to go to MBK for our dinner & shopping. It still a bit drizzling, we decide to take the cab but then Ut teng wants to try on a tuktuk instead. We decided to give in & took tuktuk to MBK. On our way there, a family car drove pass us & the whole pool of water on the road splashed up on us making us almost drenched. What a day manz!!

We had our dinner at one of the cafe as usual the mummy & little gal are both hungry. We head up to upper level to buy some foodie & we decided to head to MBK overhead bridge for some shopping but all are closed. We did not know that the area over that side closed at 10pm. Too bad, i have missed lots of shopping for flats & heels =( Ut teng had an early flight at 5pm tomorrow, so Sam mummy & I decided that we should head back to MBK the next day for some shopping.

We reached hotel at 11pm & decided to have an aroma oil full massage in the hotel. The whole process of the massage is so calm & relaxed. After the massage, we were offered some tea & was told that we are not supposed to bath in the next 3 hrs after massage due to the oil & blood circulation. We decided to give a miss in bathing & head to slp after that.

last day in BKK

I had a bad headache & decided to rest in the hotel instead of joining the rest of them to the morning market located at our hotel down stair. Both of them woke up at 6am for the morning market & are back at 8.30am for bathing. This is also the time i woke up to prepare ready to head for my breakfast buffet in the hotel.

We went to pratumum after our breakfast. As it's a Saturday, there is more people than usual weekday in the area. We managed to get our purchase & headed back to our hotel for a quick cold bath due to the hot weather & last packing before our checking out.

We left our bags in the hotel lobby & went for our second purchase before accompanying Ut Teng back to hotel for her hotel pickup to airport at 2.30pm. So, it just left with me & Sam mummy.
As we need to go back to hotel at 6pm for our pickup to airport, we decided to abort our trip to MBK instead we went to platinum.

As i was in the hurry to buy dear's clothing, i have decided to walk ahead to have a look while Sam mummy have her look at her last shopping purchase. Such a coincidence, I saw a couple friend of mine at BKK. We chat a while & i headed back to my shopping.

At 5.15pm, Sam mummy wants to go for a leg massage. I was quite angry then cos we have booked the hotel car at 6pm which means we need to reach hotel at 6pm but then she still feel it's ok to go for a massage. I just accept it & instead waiting for her i decided to walk ard the shopping mall & try to get my last few purchase.

After an hr later, i went back to meet her. She know that i am angry & she apologise to me. We reached the hotel half an hr late, i was being rebuked by the hotel lobby guy for the lateness. Haiz.. We headed to the hotel car & the driver drove us to the airport.

We had our simple dinner at the airport & departure at 10.55pm. Our flight reached SG at 12.30pm, dear came & fetch us & ...

Yeah.. Home sweet home..

Bangkok here i come~

Have been busy these few days becos of the move of the new office. At last, i have some time sitting down to jot down some excitement of my life. I intend to do some changes in my blog but in the end i got all my blog hang and need to reset to default.. so i am now patiently trying to revamp again.. so... pls forgive me for the ugly blog which you are reading =p

3 days~!! I am counting down not becos of the shift of my new office but my trip to BKK with my colleagues. This is the first time i go for a trip with them so am excited on it.. I am just hoping that the days will come soon...

We have lots of discussion on where to go, what to eat, etc... My travelling partner consist of a mummy of 1 & a nice little gal who is first time travelling to BKK.. lolx..( she must be cursing while reading my blog... i knew it =p). Ok, she is not small at all is just youngest in the travel.. ( 3 yrs younger than me =p). She even suggest to have a blog written up for all our trips~

Discussion these few days have shown the youthful & childish side of ours but i am enjoyable with their excitement & sense of humor.. I got a feel that this will be a fruitful & fun trip for all of us before going to our new office next Monday.

helloz~

Hi all, have been busy for the pass few days which i am unable to update my blog.. At last, the routine of monthend account closing have passed. Next to be up on my list will be the shift of my new office.

Went for a tour in our new office premises at Paya Lebar, do not really like the location & environment too. Everything seems small specially my working desk. lolx.. 3/4 of my current desk, space so constraint. Lots of thing to pack up before the premove on the 13th May which is next Wednesday. I have not even start my packing yet cos am clearing lots of stuff from for my VP in his room. =( Will try to get mine done by latest this week coz time is rushing up~

Have been reading newspaper for update on the current news. What i have know at this moment is only the H1N1. I will be going for a BKK holiday soon with my colleagues in 2 weeks time. Hope it will not affect much on my journey due to the virus & also the Thailand politics riot. My boss did actually asked me on this not becos she wants me to forgo my trip but worried for me due to the virus.. well, i know she cares abt me & am touched by her concern & care.. cos not all bosses will show that to her staff. =D

As i was flipping newspaper somedays back, i gotten to read some articles which caught my attention & i wish to share it with you guys.

Article 1 - Reason to fall in love again (Recycling)

A lot of people have been recycling their relationship as they are not really sure what they actually wants in their relationship. At times maybe we should ask ourselves when we break up. It is due to tolerance of being loneliness while u are single or just giving hope for sth which it will not become??

This article make me feel that we may tends to ask much or mind the act of our significant other but always forget the act we need to perform ourselves in the relationship. If breaking up in the first place is due to ur fault, must well have it change for the better else the rights to patch back becos of loneliness as such will only make yrself even worse. Currently, I am still learning to perform my part better for my "MRS" incoming 3 yrs down the road. =)

Article 2 - Comparing with others

We tends to compare one another is due to envious. Walking ard Orchard, i always see a lot of slim, tone body of ladies walk past me. At times, i will ask myself why they are so slim while i am fat!!

This article make me feel that there are specialities in each & everyone of us. We may envy some gals who have slim & tone body but then maybe they are envy u too for ur sense of humour & confident. U will never know.... So, instead of changing to the person who u envy & lost ur specialities. Why not be ur ownselves?? cos there will not be another person other urself who ur mum gave birth to u. So be grateful of being able to be born to this world. =D

Article 3 - Relaxation is the art of beauty

There may be a lot of expensive products else where but then not all are effective to our skin nor affordable like the SKII Miracle water. We can also be beautiful in a simple & relax way instead of going out for what's not usable to us.

• Sufficient of sleep - Without sufficient of 8 hrs sleeping will not be enough to recharge our batt for the next hectic day of work & also will make our skin lifeless which most of these are unable to replace it with any expensive products nor $$.
• Quit smoking & drink plenty of water - Smoking will contribute freckles in long term. Drinking lots of water will helps to toxic our body which is also a cheap & simple way to maintain. =D ( i am still trying to quit smoking becos of this.. ganbate~!)
• Eat lots of vitamins C fruits- Strawberries, tomatoes, lemon are fruits which contain vitamin C. We should consume more of this. Eating more onions & corn will also help to increase our protection against UV ray. Do avoid, red beans as these will leads to decrease our protection against freckles & fruits such as carrots, papaya, mandarin oranges, mango & yellow colour fruits will lead to skin become more lifeless.

DIY Mask: A simple & cheap diy mask can also help us having a beautiful skin

Ingredients - 5 strawberries & milk blend it together.

That's all for today folks. Hope i can update more of these to share with you guys again.. Ciaoz~

At last our lovely bird nest

Today is the day for us.. A choice for our lovely bird nest which we are going to spend our next chapter in 3 yrs time. I was unable to sleep last night cos am anxious abt it.

Date: 8th April 2009
Time: 3.30pm
Destination: TPY HDB Hub

I woke up at 11 am & we went out of his house at 12pm to our destination at TPY. We reached TPY at 12.30pm & had our lunch in 1 of the coffee shop before proceeding to HDB for the rest of our activities as plan.

2pm, we went straight to HDB & take a look at the show flat which is located in Level 3 since we have sometime before our que. There are 4 different types of show flat unit shown which consist of 2rm, 3rm, 4rm and 5rm with their measurement. I took some of the pic which i like shown in 4 & 5rm as a ref. for my reno. Quite nicely done up.

3pm, after seeing all units, we slowly walked to the information counter to get our que & have a look at the 3D model to choose our final choice. Have a few discussion with my bf & we decided to get the one facing the road instead.

I was flipping & looking out for our unit cos am afraid that it will be taken. While flipping the brochure, i realised that the mbr toliet basin is short rather than the long which i see in most unit. Gonez man.. Restricted space again.. Haiz.. Nothing can be done except to wait till take key & get ID to help to design.

After 45 mins past, our que number flashed. Yeah!! at last our turn to go in & the most happy is that our unit are not taken yet. We went into the rm and our CSO is a chn guy who serve us. The CSO is not helpful at all as we try to clear some of our doubts. His reply really make me argh..

Instead of helping us to clear our doubts, he told us what we see is what it is to be and FULLSTOP. He is also quite messy too. He misplaced my 3 mths payslip luckily managed to find it else #$%^&*@. Since, he is so unhelpful, we chosen our unit & left in 15mins time after making our deposit payment.

After we walked out of HDB. Phew~ everything have passed le~

Tomorrow we will be posting the other application. Hope everything goes fine for us. =)

Our final choice of our bird nest

Tomorrow is the day where both of us will be choosing our bird nest. With lots of units taken up (including the unit which i have desired ) is a bit disappointing.

Dear gave me alot of his restriction on this & that which left me lesser unit to choose from. The best of all is that while i am choosing the unit trying to have some discussion with him. Guess what? He can fall asleep and snoring away.. Argh~ =(

I look upon a few & at last i gotten 6 units as alternative in case someone have choose the unit we want cos we will be the last 6 to choose for the day. Haiz.. I still in dilemma on whether to get the unit facing the road ( service yard being blocked) or garden (near childcare centre, will it be noisy) cos both units have their pros & cons.

Hope everything will goes well tomorrow.

In order to clear all my doubts & confirmation, I decide to reach HDB earlier tomorrow to have a look at the show flat & also the 3D model for our flat to make our final decision.

Hope that the unit that i choose will not be select & am praying hard for it..

First ever concert with my bf

It has been such a long time ever since i written my last blog on 23rd. Nothing much to update on me these few weeks except attending JJ concert and also have been waiting anxiously for my appointment date to come on next Wednesday.

Went out at 11am with my bf to repair his car. The hot weather on Saturday is driving me nuts. Not that i do not like the sun but is the heat that driving me nuts. We went for some window-shopping and returned at 6pm to collect our car after which we had our dinner at Balestier with our friends before heading down to Singapore Indoor Stadium for JJ concert.

This is the first concert i have ever attended with him cos he dun really like to attend this kind of function. All i can say he is more like a simple & kopitiam guy =p Here are some of the pics which i have taken on the day.

Dear and me @ JJ concert

First song by JJ and his boys (which he designed it himself, so cutez~!)

JJ with his 2nd guest appearance "Fan Weiqi".

One of the artist which i idolise. A simple, cute, friendly and also nice vocal gal which make me wanna listen to her songs every morning with failed . Her voice gave me a sense of comfort and calming.

The Lin's talented music family

This is the scene which touches me much as it is a birthday surprise to JJ from the Lin family. I cried when JJ dad sang his song.. I just feel so touched maybe cos i could feel JJ is being grateful of his dad for his encouragement and also support. I can feel it so much.

Although i was down with bad headache that day due to the heat in the morning but i did indeed enjoyed the concert not becos of the JJ's performance alone but also becos of my hilarious bf who gave me a lot of expression throughout the concert. =)

What a wedding dinner it is

It should be a happy date but in the end it turns to anger for us. We attended a friend's wedding last Saturday's night. Everything turns out to be quite happy and enjoyable for everyone but things turn bad when a friend who we do not know well was drunk. We stayed till the wedding end & make our way out of the restaurant. While waiting for the lift, a friend of ours told us that he urinated in the exit room near the restaurant. We was like ah? I can understand cos people will not be know their acts when they are stupidly drunk.

As we are planning for our next destination, i heard a commotion behind me & saw YJ holding on the guy. Overheard that the guy was trying to engage a fight with the other guest in the restaurant. We tried to calm him down but apparently he just went crazy & create a nuisance in front of the restaurant. Luckily, a buddy of his managed to cool & forced him to sit in the back seat of his car while our friend, YJ send him home. The car drove off but we are quite worried of YJ cos he was alone with him & we are not sure what will happen if the guy go berserk again.

15 mins later, we gotten a call from him saying that he was at Suntec having some problem. All of us include the groom went to help. Oh no~ The guy create a nuisance in the public & worse still vandalise. A lot of people tried to hold on of him but invalid. Suddenly, he went to our car & gave 2 kick on the driver & passenger seat which caused a dent in the driver seat

Dent & scratches in the driver & passenger seat

We are damn shocked and anger by him. We conclude that he may be on drugs instead of drunk. Police came but that does not stop the commotion instead they just stay aside & watched. Worse still, there are 2 Cisco sitting in the van & video camering. Hope these does not go up any online else everyone of us will be actor & actress of the year.

We tried to call the guy who dent out car to pay for our damage but was unable to get him. What a coincidence is that the guy share the same birthday (dd/mm/yy) as my bf. Haiz... I wonder what kind of person is he. At this time, there is nothing we can do but to get our car repair. We are not really sure if we are able to get compensation on this.

All i can say what a wedding dinner it is.

Gathering after 14 yrs

After 14 yrs of graduation from my primary school " Delta & Bukit Ho Swee Primary Sch", i have a small gathering with some of the gals.

Date: 18th March 2009
Time: 6.45pm
Venue: Outside Tiong Bahru plaza Macdonald
Attendees: Myself, Li Ju, Peishan, Meizhen, Meili

I was very excited when i received an sms from my childhood friend Li Ju last week. Ever since, all of us have graduated & moved on to different secondary school to begin our another new stage, we are all occupied & busy with actitives & studies. This is the time i can catch up with them & am looking forward for the day.

All of us reached and decided to have our dinner at Mac, which is always a place for us to gather since our pri days but due to fully occupied, we decided to switch to LJS instead. We bought our food & began our chat. Most of us did not change after so many yrs, the way we talk, present ourselves & behaviour remains the same. We talk abt the past regardless is funny or corny, schooling, courses, work etc..... Meizhen's husband brought their son who is a chubby baby boy to meet her. She left us after 3 hrs of gathering & the 3 of us gals continuing with our talking.. that's when we talked abt our family and lifes.

I always thought that most of my friends comes from a healthy family but then i was wrong.
I only managed to know that most of us have a complicated side to handle. I was deceived by their outlook presentation. This is the thing which most of us always neglected. Cos we always judge everyone of us from the outer cover but not the inner.

We talked till 10.45pm when LJS starting to pack for the day and we bid goodbye to each other. While on my way back home, many thoughts flowed into my mind. School days are always carefree & freedom from trouble to most of us. As we get older each time, responsibilities, pressure & restriction starts to wear in. Different people have different way of handling their problems. Some are reserved & always be the one who do the listening while others like to be open-up as a form of distress.

But 1 thing that i have learned today is "Never judge a book by its cover " even they do not even talk abt it but that does not mean that nothing happen in their lifes.

Although we have reached another stage of our lifes, i am always hoping we will gather again for another session. =)

May God bless them~!
