~Simply Me~

YES...I am 30 this year!!

2009-01-19T12:25:00.003+08:00

22nd Jan 2009 will make me a woman of age 30...Well, my best achivement was being a real 'woman' of a man that I will keep loving till the very last chapter of my life journey.I always see great and new things happen in my life, no doubt there's ups and downs...What have I learnt from the past 29 years???

Age 0 -4: I spent my babyhood with my nanny...someone that took good care of me, brought me to many places, fed me with nice and yummy food. I learnt to know what is love and care from elders...

Age 5-10: My younger sis was born and I somehow felt the lacking of attention and love from parents. I learnt to know the feeling of jealousy, neglection, unfairness in life...

Age 11-14: Entering my puberty and facing acnes problems, low self-esteem, depression, and loneliness. I learnt what is sad, disappointment...

Age 15-18: Moving to a new environment...getting to know new friends. I learnt to know the good and bad side of people - honesty, sincerity, innocence, betrayal, dishonest, selfishness..etc

Age 19-21: Completed my tertiary studies and began to act like an adult, but not knowing the complexity of the outside world...I learnt what is excitement, don't care attitude, arrogant, irresponsible, self-protection...

Age 22-23: An age range that was full of curiosity, rebellion, always cried for 'freedom'...I learnt to know the darkest moment in my life which I'd almost given up BUT I didn't...

Age 24-27: A turning point of my life that leads me to a brighter place through all the hardships and the consequences that I had to bare...I learnt to be very independant, confident, thankfulness, strong, forgiving...

Age 28-29: After a drastic transformation of my life, I started to breathe again...Looking things in different perspective, possitive, cheerful, willing to open up my heart to give and share, maturity in analysing things, knowing the priority in life, be bold to face the reality of the world...

Expectations in my 30's:

Attractive

Bold

Confident

Determine

Efficient

Fun-loving

Gorgious

Humble

Interesting

Joyful

Loving

Matured

Optimistic

Passionate

Romantic

Sentimental

Thankful

Unpredictable

Wise

Our Future Home...Pinnacles@Duxton

2009-01-08T18:20:00.002+08:00

Pooh Bear and me made a very critical and big decision this morning! We have selected a unit at Pinnacles@Duxton for our Sept balloting exercise. This 4-room hdb flat is selling around $495k which is approx 120k++ higher than the price when it was newly launched in year 2004.Well, we seek a lot of opinions from friends and relatives on this...I hope we made the right choice.

New Chapter in year 2009...

2009-01-06T11:58:00.005+08:00

Time flies, ageing process increases, responsibilities & commitment piling up...etc It is indeed not a very smooth and easy jouney ahead but I believe it will be an exciting and adventurous one. Lots of planning, thinking and decision making for every little step ahead of me. A bit of anxiety sometimes, a bit aimless at my present stage...how long more should I endure with this condition??

POOH BEAR & PIGLET'S WEDDING DAY

2009-01-06T11:50:00.002+08:00

It was a significant and crucial day of our life's journal...A day with tears and laughters of joy, a day that family members gathered around, a day that friends and relatives shared our joyous moment to celebrate and witnessing our marriage. A day that should not be forgotten - 28 DECEMBER 2008.

祸不单行。。。

2008-11-26T09:01:00.004+08:00

上个星期三被‘裁’，上个星期六扭伤了脚。真的是好倒霉哦！不过在每个人的爱心照顾下，我康复的很快，再过一阵子就能像以往一样蹦蹦跳跳叻。看跌打也不便宜呢，每次去复诊都要花上39元，其实那位中医师还要我去多一次的复诊呢！！现在真的要好好照顾自己，在最关键时刻，健康是很重要的，饭可以少吃一餐半餐，健康是不能少的。记住咯！！

我是幸福的。。。

2008-11-24T18:10:00.006+08:00

19/11/2008 是我一生中最难忘的其中一日。我被公司“裁”掉了，告别了工作生涯！对于整件事，它来的非常突然，（18/11/08）我还刚从马来西亚回来，PM就致电给我，告诉我这个坏消息，要我做好心理准备。隔天回到公司，跟HR谈妥一切的手续后，我便到自己的座位收拾属于自己的东西。哇！真后悔在公司放了好多的货，吃的啦，喝的啦，用的啦，穿的啦。。什么都有！再还未离开那个原本视为“残酷无情”的地方时，我跟要好的同事们互相拥抱，顿时之间，我感受到温暖和幸福。眼泪不停的滑落，心跳却如此强烈，身体的温度不断上升。。。我好舍不得离开我亲爱的“姐妹们”，但却无法继续留在这里，告别了！！

POOH BEAR为了我向公司请假，把东西放到车子后，就和另外一位朋友一同吃午餐。之后，我们就到处逛逛。好久没在周日到City去，感觉很不一样。接着陪同KC的妈妈回家去，晚餐的时候，他们全家人都知道我的遭遇，很庆幸的，我得到大家的支持及鼓励。这的确是我最需要的安慰。谢谢你们，我一定不会让你们担心，我会加油的！！

Something to look forward...

2008-10-18T22:15:00.007+08:00

From the first look, I didn't notice much about this potrait...As I noticed further and tried to figure out the essense of the real meaning behind it, I can visualise there's something to look forward, I can sense the moment of truth, love and joy. He is the man that I have locked my heart for, a man that I will be spending the rest of my life with, a man that will walk with me till the end of the road...

High Tea Buffet at Hilton Hotel 11/10/08

2008-10-13T09:12:00.003+08:00

Thanks to Kelissa and Connie for the thought of bringing me to a High Tea buffet as a pre-celebration for my Big Day. It was indeed a pleasant moment to catch up and relax our mind of doing something different than normal routine. The buffet starts from 12noon till 4pm, a pretty good timing for lunch and high tea in one session. I loved the desserts, snacks and pastry the best!

Zhou Zhuang Buffet High Tea

2008-09-27T22:25:00.004+08:00

Went to 'Zhou Zhuang' and had late afternoon high-tea buffet with KC just now right beside Anchor Point. Ordered quite a lot of dim sum, cold dish, pastries and dessert. It was a satisfying meal but must control a bit coz there's not much time left for me to achieve my ideal weight for my Big Day, haha!!!

Dinner at JUMBO, East Coast Park

2008-08-24T11:02:00.002+08:00

Had dinner with KC's family at JUMBO, East Coast Park yesterday to pre-celebrate KC Mum's 61st Birthday.They ordered 'Black Pepper Crab','Butter Crab','Deep Fried Soon Hock','Salted Vege with Seafood Soup','Baby Squid', 'Pork & Mutton Satay','Sweet & Sour Pork','Cereal Prawn','Baby Kailan','Yam Paste with Ginko Nuts'...

Surfing Net while perming hair???

2008-08-16T16:24:00.003+08:00

Indeed it's true...after my wedding photo selection, I decided to perm my hair in City Square after lunch at Kim Gary Restaurant...Saw this "Pro Trim" at level 3, just beside "Thomas & Guys"...They quoted me RM220 for perming+treatment+cut of my current length. Sounds reasonable, so I went in. Didn't realise there is LCD flat screen monitor placed in front of every seat. No wonder I didn't see any magazines laying around, all customers are allowed to surf net while doing your hair treatment. Pretty Cool, isn't it?? Here I am updating my blog while doing my digital perm. Impressive!

Wedding Photo Viewing and Selection...

2008-08-16T16:02:00.003+08:00

Yes...it's 16/8/08, as scheduled me & KC went to JB in the morning. Reached Dawn's Wedding Bridal Shop around 11am. At first I was pretty worried about the result of my photos because there was this hairdo which KC said as if I was wearing 'tudung'...Anyways, the fear is no longer in me now. Yupe, we managed to pick and choose 27 photos of our favourites and the BEST thing was we did not top-up even a single cent on top of our original Bridal Package!! WOW...we did it!

Generally the photos were fine, definitely not too nice until we can't bare to let go...but most of them were pleasant. Sorry that there isn't any that I can bring home and show to you all...Hopefully my dear friends and family members have the patience to wait. I would say choosing 'Dawn's Wedding is the right choice.

Cutaneous Larva Migrans...

2008-07-31T11:36:00.006+08:00

So what is this all about?? For more information, feel free to browse: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cutaneous_larva_migrans

BUT, please assure that you are not in the mood to start a meal...coz it's quite disgusting, hehe! I have this skin problem since (didn't really know when)...It started off with a red dot like a mosquito bite...if you leave it for few days, it tends to get swollen and turned redish like a normal pimple. If you leave it for a few days more, you'll notice that the pimple evolved to a small watery thingy that caused a little pain and itch. Don't scratch it else it'll cause a secondary bacterial infection to develop.

Attached 2 photos of what is growing on my left hand: (Don't worry, it's not contagious!)

(When you see it from far...)

(When you look closer, it grows like larva...)

Good-Bye AIA Tampines...

2008-07-29T18:39:00.004+08:00

My company has decided to move to a new place in Upper Seranggon North this weekend. Well, it is claimed to be bigger in capacity, newer & nicer in terms of overall presentation. So our department will start packing this coming Thurs & Fri. All things must be moved out from this building by end of week. Not so eager to move eventhough the location seems nearer to the central area coz my overall journey is still 1.5hrs and more troublesome!

That new place is within an industrial park, no nice shopping malls and yummy food nearby...I'm starting to miss Tampines, ha!

Pooh Bear Master's Convocation, Class of 2008

2008-07-26T22:21:00.005+08:00

He has obtained his Master Of Science (Information Systems).I attended together with Pooh's parents. The whole ceremony took about 1.5 hrs, we had simple refreshment after that.

'Your Big Day'...

2008-07-21T11:43:00.002+08:00

This is an event organised by Mediacorp...You can view the info at:
http://archive.mediacorptv.sg/8days_bridal.pdf

Pooh Bear & I were a pair of victim to this event. We didn't expect much actually, they collected SGD38 per couple, I expected a buffet style high-tea or perhaps a 5 course wedding dish. To our disappointment, they only served very 'pathetic' finger food and soft drinks without gas. The whole idea of this event is a 'failure'...except for couples which has signed up their wedding packages on that day.

We were gathered under one roof, in an elegant church...BUT, all the booths were also reside around the hall. So when the speaker was giving their speech, the sales person from different booths were also selling & explaining their wedding packages at the same time. It was like a market place then.

Hmm, not a good experience!!

Bridal Photo Shooting...17/07/2008

2008-07-21T10:50:00.003+08:00

BEFORE

AFTER

So this is the day...Went to JB around 915am, reached about 10 plus...Had a quick breakfast, Pooh Bear had his yummy yong tou fu with dried kway tiao...as for me, soya milk with char siew pao.Started my make-up at 1045am until 12 plus...Our photographer is Henry, and his assistant Gary.

First station was Singapore Botanic Garden, pretty nice place actually with flowers and trees as our background...weather is sunny. Received greetings as we passed by some foreigners, hee! Second station was Chijmes, then towards the Art museum. Last station was all the way to the East - Changi Beach.

It was a tiring day coz too much smiling and posing...with my gown so tightly hooked around my chest, hardly breathe properly. Another thing would be the thickest make-up that I've ever had, haha! Pooh Bear was worried abount his smile for being too fake, keke! We shall see the results on 16/08/2008.

Changing of URL...

2008-07-15T16:18:00.005+08:00

Why changed?? Sometimes we need some tiny little changes or adjustments towards our daily life as if we don't change...life is just a routine that can drag us for another 30 to 50 years. Stages-of-life-journey, this is what I've been experiencing from time to time till today...I like this phrase, it reminds me that everyday is a unique and blessed day...2 days later, I will capture my first and only bridal shots with the one I'm marrying end of this year...exactly 1 month down the road, I will celebrate my 1 year and 4 months anniversary with the one I'm so much in love with...and it goes on and on...

Don't change if you are happy with what you have or how you feel at the present moment...Should you feel lack of sparks and motivation in what you are doing and feeling, then CHANGE for the better...

Shukudo @ Raffles City...

2008-06-27T10:28:00.003+08:00

Had a meet up session with my very old good buddy back in my secondary school - Connie. I decided to have dinner at Shukudo located at the basement of Raffles City. Reached there around 635pm, no queue yet. So I went in first and ordered a waffle with honey & butter coz I was pretty hungry...after that, went to order a cup of Japanese Yorgurt Drink (doesn't taste anything like yorgurt though...keke) While waiting for Connie, I went for another round again, picked 1 yakitori, 1 bacon with asparugus, 1 shitake mushroom. Finally she came, then we ordered Japanese Omelette with mushrooms & cheese, Gyoza, Japanese Pizza with BBQ Eel & Cheese, Mocha Slush Ice with red bean...I went there the 2nd time actually, not much variety. I guess I've ordered all the 'can try' things

Brewerkz!!

2008-06-23T14:54:00.003+08:00

Me, KC and my gal friends include Sharon, Diana came out for a special chill out cum chatting session last Sat. KC's fren 'Raymond' and my fren 'Connie' joined in a bit later. Having the thought to dress up like a lady out of no where...perhaps inspired by the movie 'Sex and the City'...I'm sure all gals feel good to doll up a little once in a while. Honestly it was quite fun to have some kind of gathering, talk about life, work, changing ideas. I have to say that 'Brewerkz' is indeed a great place for dining, drinking and catching up because the environment is simply SUPERB!!

Choosing Bridal Gown for Outdoor Photo Shoot!

2008-06-23T11:55:00.002+08:00

KC & I booked our Bridal Shop since last year Dec during our day trip to City Square, JB. Coincidently there was this 'Bridal Fair/Road Show' held in the center of the atrium. Initially we just wanted to K-Poh by flipping through the photo albums displayed by the participators. The first bridal shop that we went was 'Dawn's Wedding'. The sample album of a couple taking photos in Perth caught KC's attention. We then served by 'Serene' and sat down for the 'phsycho-ing' session, ha!! After a long-winded chat, the feeling of signing up for bridal package was quite strong but we were uncertain because we haven't really visited any other BS. Somehow, we felt that they are pretty sincere and flexible, so we decided to take 'Dawn's Wedding' as our BS.

Sex And The City....

2008-06-14T01:36:00.004+08:00

Yupe...watched it last Friday nite with Pooh Bear. Kinda inspired by the gorgeous gals in the movie..Nice hair, dress, bags, shoes, accessories...etc It just makes me feel so good and eager to be in my 40's. Impressed by the friendship or sister-hood they have maintained thus far...

It's not that simple afterall...Hmmm!

2008-05-05T19:45:00.004+08:00

Well, sometimes I thought that my marriage journey will be simple...Register for marriage, having wedding reception, buying a house, go for honeymoon...etc Eventhough I am having a simple wedding, not much preparation, simplified a lot in the Chinese customary...Having only 1 day of outdoor bridal shoots, inviting not more than 150 people for my wedding luncheon...

BUT...roses ain't always red, violets ain't blue when you want it to be! Buying a house, deciding where to stay,the type of house, whom to stay with is causing so much probem and huge complication. I just want a simple home...somehow it's not that simple afterall...

My Very First Concert...

2008-03-16T01:01:00.003+08:00

Today is 15th March, 2008.The 11th month anniversary with Pooh Bear.We went for the Traders Hotel's complimentary Bridal Extravaganza from 1pm to 430pm.After that we went for a walk around Orchard area,took quite a lot of photos...Pooh Bear told me tat he has a little surprise for me...Drove me along the way to the East.Didn't have any hint or clue of what he had in mind.He just told me to 'wait'...We settled our dinner at Expo, Macau restaurant.We walked straight up to MAX Pavilion @ Singapore Expo with the crowd, still clueless...I saw the Food Festival poster hanging along the way,thinking tat Pooh Bear wanted to bring me for the Food Fair.(Oh Gosh,we just had our dinner...He should have told me earlier so tat I don't eat)Finally,he told me that 'real thing' that we are going for Jeff Chang's concert!Hooray...My very 1st concert in my life this far!He is soooooo SWEET!

Celebrate Pooh Bear's Birthday at Kuishin-Bo

2007-12-26T11:26:00.000+08:00

"Kuishin-Bo Authentic Japanese Buffet Restaurant at Suntec City"

I cracked my head to seek for ideas on celebrating Pooh Bear's birthday. Well, it was the very 1st birthday celebration where we celebrated together so I guess he must be expecting something, keke! I made a reservation 3 weeks from 14th Dec coz it's pretty hard to get seats if no prior reservation has been made. Then, I have this thought to give him more surprises...

I placed a hand-made Invitation Card together with Piglet soft toy somewhere in his room & called up for a hand-bouquet flower delivery to his work place. He called me around 11am plus saying that he received the flowers but with much embarrassments cum surprises especially facing his colleagues, keke!!

We were supposed to meet up at Kuishin-Bo at 630pm but due to my last minute tasks that were being assigned to me & 2 other colleagues, I stayed back for a while and reached Kuishin-Bo around 745pm.Pooh Bear was exploring & enjoying the food by himself before I came,ha!!We had a wonderful & enjoyable dinner there...

For those whom are Jap Food Lover, it's a Must Try place for you...

Gathering 5 Science 2 year '97

2007-12-04T11:32:00.000+08:00

It was the only gathering we had in year 2007.Time really flies, we have been out from our Secondary school 10 years ago.There were actually 25 of us in the class,the number of people attending seems decreasing by each year due to work, clashed wth other appointments, uncontactable, no response etc...But I am glad that 'JACY' gals remain...

敞开胸怀，背弃所累积的心结。。。

2007-12-03T15:03:00.000+08:00

因为某人在很久以前带给我无形的伤害，背叛及利用。。然而我也无形中对某人失去信任及用时间建立的友情，甚至在自己的内心深处跟某人打了一个好大的心结。直到现在，只有我和某某人知道，嘿嘿！随着年龄的增长，常联络的好友知己一年比一年少。。想一想，是时候“敞开胸怀，背弃所累积的心结。。。”

我爱冬装。。。

2007-11-27T16:09:00.000+08:00

也许不是生长在四季的国家，所以常常很羡慕穿着冬装上学，上班或是逛街的人们。我喜欢五颜六色的围巾，长度大约到膝盖上的外套，衣领上还有毛毛的，高领的紧身上衣，牛仔高跟鞋。。哇，好‘酷’哦！这的确是我梦寐以求的服装。。嘻嘻！

工作上的小磨擦。。。

2007-11-21T11:46:00.000+08:00

最近在公司出现了好多小磨擦，也许是沟通上的问题而引起了误会，也许是各人处事方法的差异而引起了误解，也许是老早前产生的误解而引起的心病。。唉，无奈呀。我只有做好自己的工作，不参与任何一方，这样生活比较轻松吧！

High-Tea Buffet at Straits Cafe, Hotel Rendezvous

2007-11-17T21:47:00.000+08:00

It was our very first High-Tea experience...I made a reservation on Wednesday afternoon and counting the days for the event.The thought of High-Tea came because me & KC are not buffet person, and I prefer having snacks,pastries,puddings,ice-creams,sandwiches,salads,fruits with a nice aroma of coffee or tea...

We dressed up decently,filled with joy and excitement.We waited for a while when we reached the place.Then,we've been urshered to our table...Me & KC had an enjoyable and relaxing afternoon.We'll definitely plan for another High-Tea buffet...our next target will be Trader's Hotel.

For those who are interested:

最近看了好多关于‘美容，瘦身’的网页，突然发现有许多宝贵的常识值得学习。女人的天性都是‘爱美’的，如果不爱美，那就有问题了。我一直在想：“要如何美得自然，高贵典雅，不夸张，耐看呢？”有一次在搭地铁回家时跟同事聊了一下，讨论的话题是关于‘有钱的人，选择比较多，不是很有钱的人，选择自然少一些’相对的‘天生丽质的人，美起来比较容易简单，需后天补救的人，美起来真的要下点功夫及有智慧’。。我是属于后者，常常都埋怨自己没他人幸运，长得高挑，有天使般的脸孔，魔鬼身材，亮丽柔软的头发，细嫩的皮肤。。呵呵！！接下来若有什么新发现，一定会与大家分享。

盼望十二月的来临。。。

2007-11-12T14:38:00.000+08:00

以前觉得年尾是让我反省及回顾自己在年头所立下目标的时刻。很遗憾，通常都是没达到及完成什么目标！！之后就开始对自己说“我又要老一岁了”，“嗯，为新的一年设下去年还未达成的目标吧”等等。今年的年尾就大有不同，因为我还有好多从未设下的目标将要慢慢实现。。感觉很不错哦！记得在去年尾，我曾经和一位同事说：“我有预感2007年，也就是我过28岁生日时会是一个好年，也是我的黄金岁月，呵呵！因为我有预感，上帝会安排真命天子与我相遇” – 果然，我和他在15/4/07 正式交往。

第一次出国旅游 – 在一个偶然的机会下，我看到Tiger Airways飞往Perth的机票很便宜，之前曾答应过妹妹要去那儿探望她，想了一想，难得有机会出国，就约了妈妈一同飞去澳洲 – 14/5至20/5正好是冬季的开始，我终于有机会穿着冬装到处观光，哈哈！！爽死啦！

第二次出国旅游 – 又是在一个偶然的机会下，有朋友一同相约到中国的‘珠海’看看。说是五天三夜，因为前后两天都是在赶路，呵呵！虽然收获不大，但却为自己增了两公斤回来，害得我连裤子也差点穿不上，整个人像发水面包似的，连相片都不敢多拍几张。20/9至24/9刚好在转季，有时很炎热，有时却下大雨。

第三次出国旅游 – 还没啦，因为是在十二月6-10号，跟情郎一同飞到香港去。很期待哦。。我又有机会穿上冬装咯，所以嘛，我现在要积极减肥，至少若我在那儿吃胖了，也不会太难看，哈哈！

今年的圣诞节，我不再一个人度过了。。。因为有他的陪伴。不只是今年，而是接下来每一年的圣诞节，嘻嘻！

好坏心情...

2007-11-05T11:13:00.000+08:00

再过五天就会进入情绪最低潮的阶段，没办法，女人的生理周期。。不过，我答应过他，我会尽量不被它影响。今早在上班的路上，突然想起好多好多以前的事。。然后再看看现在的我，嗯。。我现在处于“幸福，快乐”的状况。虽然在新加坡的日子不算长，但，我曾经在这小岛历经艰辛，孤独，恐惧，失落的生活。。说真的，我感谢上帝让我有机会在最坏的情况下成长及学习，我从来就没有埋怨过。。

没有做错过，就不懂什么是对，
没有失去过，就不懂什么是拥有，
没有伤心过，就不懂什么是快乐，
没有被遗弃过，就不懂什么是珍惜。

我很庆幸在茫茫人海中让我遇见了他，因为他让我存着一颗想嫁的心情，嘻!

Company's Dinner & Dance...

2007-10-28T20:43:00.000+08:00

I attended my company's Dinner & Dance on 19th Oct 2008. Theme for the year is "70's retro"...I managed to get a dress pretty similar to 70's from JB, which costs MYR9.90(very good deal),hehe.Well, my greatest satisfaction was helping 4 colleagues to make-up.Spent about 2.5 hours to finish up the whole process...There were games, magic show, lucky draw, best outfit competition, buffet style dinner served with red wine, beer, soft drinks...I didn't have much luck this year, didn't get anything back, keke...

CRAB day at Joo Chiat....

2007-10-18T14:16:00.000+08:00

Yesterday me, KC and his friend(Steve) and Steve's gf (also wife-to-be ohh...) met up and had dinner together. This is our first time meeting each other though.Four of us walked from Paya Lebar MRT to the restaurant for about 25mins...I was so hungry as I walked, the drums are playing vigorously inside my stomach.

We ordered a few dishes like Cheese Crabs, Chili Crabs + fried Man Tou, Fresh prawns cooked in herbal soup, Fried Tao Fu, Hokkien Mee and drinks. We had a scrumptious meal, thanks to Steve for bringing me & KC to try out the food there.

6 month's Anniversary...

2007-10-17T14:50:00.000+08:00

It's 15th Oct 07. Yupe...a day that is full of joy, laughters, love and blessings. At first we didn't plan to celebrate but...I somehow felt bad if I don't spend this precious moment with Pooh Bear.I sms him later in the afternoon and suggested that we should go and celebrate...He then replied me: "OK...we go IMM?" Arrrghh, so unsentimental & not romantic...I then called him and said: "We should go to the place where we first met...coz it's memorable..." We met each other at Buona Vista MRT's control station then walked to Holland Village's N.Y.D.C ! We didn't get the same table & seats but a satisfying meal...THANK YOU, POOH POOH!

2007-10-11T11:52:00.000+08:00

最近透过Friendster跟几位小学的同班同学联络上了，突然间有种怀旧的感觉。想当年，我们还穿着深蓝色的校裙，白色衬衫。我还记得我从一年级到六年级都读‘红’班。曾经代表红班参加‘演讲比赛’，‘歌唱比赛’，‘图画比赛’，‘篮球赛’等等。回想起那段天真无邪的岁月真让人回味无穷。我再看回现在的我，已经是走过1/4人生的女人咯。。有些同学已婚，有些快当上父母，有些任然单身，有些还在谈恋爱。。若让我在路上碰见几十年没见的老同学，我是否还记得他们呢？我们都长大了，样子也变了。。唯一没改变的是我们曾拥有同样的回忆，一起成长的童年。。。

时间已做了选择

什黱人叫做朋友

偶而碰头心情却能一点就通

因为我们曾有过理想类似的生活

太多感受绝非三言两语能形容

可能有时我们顾虑太多

太多决定需要我们去选择

担心会犯错

难免会受挫

幸好一路上有你陪我

与你分享的快乐胜过独自拥有

至今我仍深深感动

好友如同一扇窗能让视野不同

与你分享的快乐胜过独自拥有

至今我仍深深感动

好友如同一扇门让世界(变)开阔

It's been 5 months and 20 days...

2007-10-05T11:36:00.001+08:00

Pooh Bear sent me an email this morning telling me that we are 10days closer to our 6 month's birthday of our relationship. Well, still remembered the time when we celebrated our first month, we were hoping it was our 6 month's anniversary instead coz the time seems to move so slow...But finally, we have been going through the ups and downs with laughters, tears, forgiveness and love for 5 months and 20 days.

We went for Japanese Food last nite and took the best potrait of the year which we both admired the most, haha!

My 2nd trip of the year...'ZhuHai'

2007-09-29T20:13:00.000+08:00

I have made it again...another short trip for a holiday and exploring to other country. This time, I went to Zhuhai, part of China...just across Macau.Initially I thought it was just an island, not much of the advance technology, living pace is kinda slow etc...Anyway, to my amazed, it is a place full of people, cars, shopping complexes, huge restaurants, very systematic transportation and even something that we hardly see over in SG or M'sia...The food over there are fantastic, very cheap(after convertion), lots of stuff that we might not get in SG/Msia, trendy clothings, accessories...It was simply an enjoyable and affordable trip...I will definitely go there again if I have the chance. I have gained about 2 kgs after the trip...haha!!

Time to ponder...Time to learn...

2007-09-14T17:00:00.000+08:00

Have not been updating my blog for a long time...Well, everything seems pretty routine for me, ha! But starting from this week, there'll be some slight change in my normal routine.Yes, I'm stepping forward to serve as a Faithlighter in my church.Took me quite a while to prepare my heart, soul and mind in order to join a ministry.I am very excited about it.Well, it's just a simple task like selling Gospel CDs,DVDs,books etc at the counter before and after service.It's gonna be twice a month on Sun and once a month on a Sat.

I bought a book entitled "His Needs,Her Needs" by Willard F. Harley this afternoon while I was browsing at Popular Book Shop.I will spend my quiet time to read this book while pondering on some matters that I wish to get rid off...Not much talking and laughing this few days, but I treasure every minute that I have to accomplish whatever things that I need to do...I guess it will definitely take me a while to return back to my original-self this time...

'Special Gift' from Pooh Bear...

2007-08-04T22:45:00.000+08:00

I met up Pooh Bear for dinner just now, after he parked his car, he told me that he bought me something while having lunch with his Bro buddy. So he wanted me to take a quick guess, at first I thought he would have bought things from Sim Lim Square...so my guessing on the 3 items were 1.) Memory card 2.) Ear phones 3.) External Harddrive. Then he said none of the items were correct and told me he didn't buy it from Sim Lim Square. I took another quick guess, so this time my pick were 1.) Watch 2.) Clothes 3.) Necklace. This time, I was right...and then I confirmed - Watch with excitement. He then asked me to close my eyes before he handed me the watch...When I received the box, it's very big but nice to hold...just like the ipod casing, smooth and sleek. Then I opened up my eyes, saw this four letter word 'DKNY'...OMG! My tears just came down from my eyes...very touched! My very first so called 'Branded'...haha!!

Inconsiderate bus passenger...

2007-08-04T22:35:00.000+08:00

There's this man who occupied 2 seats in the public bus which I used to travel to work in the morning...I saw him doing this for several times, so without delaying, I just took out my mobile phone and snapped on his inconsiderate act...hehe.

Dinner at '兴旺' with my Pooh Bear...

2007-08-04T22:17:00.000+08:00

It was a Friday, me & Pooh planned to have dinner at Marina Square. I took MRT from Tampines and headed to City Hall, so we decided to dine at '兴旺'. So, for those who haven't tried the food there, I'll highly recommend the 'Mango Ice with Condensed Milk' - it's huge ok, can be shared among 5 people. We ordered 'Pork Chop with french fries' and 'Baked Rice with fish fillet'...As usual, I'll order 'Ice Yin-Yang', yummy!!

After sometimes...

2007-08-04T20:51:00.000+08:00

For those who really interested to know what has happened to me lately...well, life is pretty simple yet interesting...Nothing much happen, as usual, took a lot of photos coz of my new hairstyle, haha!! Been struggled for quite a while to make myself look more 'natural'...Guess ‘自然就是美吧。。'

A simple outing last Sat...

2007-07-22T20:57:00.000+08:00

It's a colleagues outing again BUT...not all came, those who present were Alan, Serena, Yee Chen, me & KC. Our first station was trying the Hokkaido Ramen at a Japanese Restaurant beside Gallery Hotel. (Didn't manage to take the quick shot of the Ramen this time, hee) Well, very frank comment: Ramen's texture is QQ but the soup is damn 'salty' (but according to my colleague, the salty they use are healthy salt...Hmmm, still not very convincing for me to try for another bowl) I'm scared that I'll have stone in my kidneys soon...(Want to know the real ramen from Japan...go and try at least once!)

After that we headed to Marina Square, our initial plan to sing-k was changed to an afternoon tea break. I suggested to go 'Xing Wang' for the Gigantic Mango Ice Mountain dessert. Some of us ordered the popular 'Ying Yang', 'Hong Kong Milk Tea', 'French Toast', 'Pineapple Butter Bun'...It was an enjoyable and relax afternoon. Our gathering dismissed around 530pm. Me & KC continued the rest of our day to Orchard, went to CK Tang, Takashimaya. Well, KC bought me new blouse, 2 bags and a treat for a scrumptious dinner at Lucky Plaza, hee!! Photo time...do enjoy!

I'm back...Finally, hee...

2007-07-22T20:34:00.000+08:00

Alright, Alright...I know some of you out there have been visiting my blog for quite sometime...and you didn't see any new post from me since I came back from Perth trip rite?? Firstly, it's the stupid policy in my current co. that only allocates 2 PC to online and shared among 9 people. Secondly, I don't have broadband at home so....that's why it hinders me from updating my blog...

So any comments on my new hairstyle?? Not much changes, just that I cut the fringe shorter and straight (by myself) hee!! Feel free to drop your comments k...

等待。。。

2007-05-30T15:08:00.000+08:00

看了一位好姐妹的blog后，心里有很大的感触。。虽然我不曾苦等一个人十几年，但我知道‘等待’的感觉是如何（尤其是你心里喜欢的人) 我真的很佩服她们等待的决心，对我而言，很抱歉，我从来都不会等太久，因为我也不喜欢让人等太久。。也许这就是我的个性吧！

我不是说不可以等，问题是要等多久才能真正放弃呢？放弃过后会不会后悔呢？后悔过后是不是应该回头继续等呢？适当的等待是一种考验，苦涩的等待是一种折磨。亲爱的姐妹们，人生短短几十年，就算等到也不一定会开花结果，等不到也不必感到遗憾，因为是你的，他不会让你等太久，不是你的，就算让你等到那一天，一切都改变了。往前看吧，幸福是由你自己去决定的！！

My trip back to KL 25th May - 27th May

2007-05-29T08:55:00.001+08:00

After I came back from Perth, I went back to KL the following weekend with KC and some colleagues to attend my Project Lead's Wedding Dinner in Concorde Hotel. We took Executive coach from the travel agency "5 Star" after work on Fri. Well, it was my first experience to travel in such a luxury coach, with individual TV in front of the seat (with games & movies selection), the seat is embedded with massaging mechanism. The fare is SGD15 more than a normal Super VIP which is SGD31+15=SGD46.We reached Serdang ard 1245midnite, my Dad picked us up. After settling down, we dozed off coz we need to wake up ard 6am next morning.

So, in Sat morning, we went out ard 7am to the place where the bride was staying in Seksyen 17. I wasn't very sure about the place as I have not been driving in KL after I work in Singapore. Whooh, but luckily we managed to find the place with the self-drawn map given by my project lead, hehe! We arrived there quite early, so we went out to have breakfast. We took photos when we reached there. Before the bridegroom fetched the bride to his house, there were door games played. After that, we followed the newly weds to their new house. I somehow got lost half-way, passed by many tolls (haha!!), travelled 2 times more than the actual journey. But finally, we managed to find the place with the help from KC by looking at the map and instructions. We toured around the place, it is indeed a spacious and beautiful house. We had our lunch before we left the place.

After taking an afternoon nap, we prepared ourselves to go for the wedding dinner. Again, I lost a bit of my way too...Whooh, but this time was not so bad, just made a wrong turn somewhere but managed to reach the hotel on time. The food served was delicious and there's something to highlight, hehe...In the mid of the dinner reception, there's toasting of bouquet from the bride. So all the single gals lined up before the stage including me. Guess what, I got the bouquet, hohoho! Pretty exciting huh...

On Sun morning, we went for 'Dim Sum' together with my parents. Well, had quite a lot of dim sum there. After that me, KC and Serena went to Jusco near my place to shop. We then met up with my elder sis's family to have lunch together. My bro-in-law then fetched us down to Federal Hotel to wait for the coach back to Singapore. That's about the trip...

I'm back from Perth...

2007-05-21T16:29:00.000+08:00

20th May(Sun) was my last day in Perth. It was indeed a nice place to relax and enjoy the atmosphere there. Been visiting to many places that are not found in Asia country such as the vine yards, beautiful ocean, desert...etc This was my very first trip to overseas (despite the experience of crossing the causeway from Malaysia to Singapore) I experienced the beginning of winter there...frankly, I loved the weather there...from morning till evening, around 16-18°C. But it's kinda cold at nite, approximately 5-8°C. Heater is needed occasionally to keep us warm.

I attended the church service in the morning...then went for 'Hong Kong Dim Sum' (haha, imagine having 'Dim Sum' in Perth...) It's operated by Asians of course, didn't take photos there though, just the shop & places around it. After a satisfying meal, we went to the wet market to grab the 'Persimmons'. It's selling at AUD3.99/kg (if I'm not wrong...) Me & Mum bought some back. Initially my sis wished to bring us to a shopping mall, but we couldn't get a car park, so we turned back to her place to get some rest and do our final packing.

Ard 620pm, my sis brought us for dinner at a Thai Restaurant called 'Sarathai'. They served very tasty & delicious Thai food there with a reasonable price too. I tried Tom Yam noodles, my sis ordered a Spring Roll noodles and Mum ordered a grilled beef with rice. After we finished our dinner, we rushed to the airport coz we are a bit late but somehow we managed to check-in as scheduled. So we said 'Goodbye' to my sis and headed to the check-in counter.

One last thing I need to mention...The wine that I bought from Swan Valley was being confiscated coz I totally forgot about it. The new rules & regulations to board on a flight is: bottles/containers that can store liquids that is exceeding 100ml are not allowed to hand carry, you must pack it in ur baggage. I was very very sad coz it was the first ever wine that I liked the most among all wines which I've ever tried until today...Boohoohoo!!

The flight departed from Perth International Airport at 935pm and arrived at Singapore Budget Terminal at 305am...KC came and picked us home, very sweet of him rite??

My 5th Day in Perth...

2007-05-20T14:19:00.000+08:00

Guess what?? We'd almost late for the day tour this morning...was very rushing while reaching Perth City train station, ran all the way to the travel agency coz the bus was about to depart in 1 minute, pretty exciting but was not a good idea to run in chilling weather. I was breathless by the time I jumped up to the bus, kept coughing...Well, managed to settle down after some rest.

This is my last tour in Perth and it was the longest trip I had so far. Departed at 8am from Perth City and returned around 930pm. The first spot that we went was Margaret River, it is known as one of Australia's finest wine regions and also blessed with natural beauty. We stopped half way for morning tea at Jolly Frog Cafe Garden, bought Bacon & Tomato Burger, Blueberry muffins, Chicken Egg sandwich, a cup of flat white(it's coffee with more milk).Then we headed to Xanadu Winery to taste wine, both white & red. Didn't get any this time as I don't really keen in drinking wine, haha!

After that we continued our journey to Eagles Heritage Raptor Centre, at the meantime enjoyed our lunch there. We saw different species of eagles & owls and the PIC there gave us very good & interesting explainations. Next, we headed to Mammoth Cave, one of over 300 natural underground limestone caves in the district. We then travelled south, passed by stunning Boranup Forest, a visual highlight of the region before arriving at Augusta's famous Cape Leeuwin Lighthouse. Some travellers had an afternoon tea there, frankly, the wind is extremely strong and the ocean is simply amazing...deep blue sea and beautiful waves!

Finally, we reached a cafe for a light dinner at the Busselton Jetty, it is known as the longest timber jetty in the southern hemisphere. We had beef steak and fish and chips for dinner. Very delicious & wonderful...I only managed to take 1 photo of Busselton Jetty (coz the memory card of the camera is out of storage, haha!!) Anyway, it was reaching towards the end of the tour...Reached home around 1045pm...

My 4th Day in Perth...

2007-05-18T22:58:00.000+08:00

Since I had a pretty tiring day yesterday, so I woke up quite late this morning...hmm, around 10:30am. Took my late breakfast ard 11plus, then we were off to visit a place called 'Swan Valley'. The very first location that we visited was the chocolate factory.It is very impressive ok, hundreds of different variaties of chocolates are available there. The display is very interesting and the packaging is very nice indeed. Didn't get any chocolates back though coz pretty expensive, but tried the ice-cream there...Rum & Raisin + Expresso with Chocolate, yummy yummy!! 2 big scopes in a waffle cone costs AUD5, shared among my sis, me and my Mum...

After that we headed to a vine yard for wine tasting. I bought a bottle of wine, taste little bit sweet and goes well with fruits, ice-cream..etc Next, we went to place where they sell Australia's Honey. When we reached the place, there are free samples for all the different types of honey. I didn't tried coz busy taking photos, not a honey lover too! Then, we went to the Nougat factory. Free samples to try again, Mum bought a small packet of assorted nougat for people in Msia. After all the factory visitation, we headed to a supermarket nearby. About 315pm, we went back to my sis's place for a late lunch.

Didn't go anywhere in the afternoon coz we are going to City for dinner later. There were 5 people going to City including 2 housemates of my sis (a couple)...went to an Italian restaurant, had the famous Chilli Mussels, Pizza and Pasta. Took a nite stroll around Perth city coz normally the shops close ard 530-6pm during weekdays and close at 9pm on Thurs & Fri. Tmr will be joining the last tour in Perth to Margaret River. Okiess, got to sleep now!! Continue when I'm back tomorrow!!

My 3rd Day in Perth...

2007-05-18T16:44:00.000+08:00

I got up ard 7am, pretty early as compared to other days. Mum & sis prepared the things for making sandwiches for our lunch later.Headed to the train station and took the train to Perth City.We reached the tour agency right on time, boarded the bus and we were ready to go!!!

Firstly we visited the 'Caversham Wildlife Park'. Here I had the opportunity to touch and feel the real Koalas, hand feeding the Kangaroos & took photos with them. After that we headed to Pinnacles Desert. It took about 1.5hours drive from Wildlife Park to Pinnacles. We stopped by a motel's cafe for lunch then continued the journey after that. We took quite a lot of photos at Pinnacles, some look like an elephant, some are like standing kangaroo...etc We spent about 45mins there, pretty hot when we were there!!

Next, we travelled down to Lancelin. This took us another 2 hours plus...whooh!!! I just slept all the way, pretty tiring, haha! OK, the whole place is covered with sand...smooth white sand. We experienced the 4-wheel driving in the giant 4WD over massive Lancelin sand dunes and the chance to try sand boarding. Initially I thought the sand boarding was pretty scary & fast but actually you may not be able to slide down smoothly and it's highly depends on the texture and the smoothness of the sand. I stopped half way while boarding down, haha!!

Lastly we went back to Perth City. Reached about 7pm, my sis brought me & Mum to have dinner at a Japanese Restaurant called 'Taka'. The food there are not that expensive, ranging from AUD5 and above for a set, free flow of hot tea. After that we went back home to rest.

My 2nd Day in Perth...

2007-05-16T13:20:00.000+08:00

Well, I had better sleep as compared to yesterday, even if I still sleep on the floor with sleeping bag and a pillow. Woke up ard 9 plus in the morning, prepared myself and had breakfast. Had a little upset with my Mum again...Sighzzz, I guess we can't get along well. I have to bear with her for another 4 days before I fly back to SG. I miss KC, miss all my frens & colleagues. I think if I were to come here with other people, the trip will be much more nicer and enjoyable. Accompanied my sis to her Uni coz she had an appointment for Rubella injection. After that, me, Mum & sis went to City again to buy the most famous 'Apple Struddle'.Then went to Bell Tower to take a walk and snap some photos.

After eating the delicious Apple Struddle, my sis went for class. Me & Mum followed her to her Uni which is Curtin University on foot.The Uni is pretty huge, we walked and took photos along the way and finally managed to find our way back to my sis's place. After my sis came home, we prepared ourself and headed to Victoria Park for dinner. The restaurant is called '天天来', direct translation is 'Come everyday', haha! My sis works there part-time, so we had special discounts and free desserts too!!

After that, 3 of us walked along the Victoria Park then went back home to rest coz tmr will be joining the local tour to Pinnacles Desert, Lancelin, Caversham Wildlife Park...

My 1st Day in Perth...

2007-05-16T01:49:00.000+08:00

I didn't have a good nite sleep last nite, was so cold and I slept on the floor with only sleeping bag but luckily with pillow. I got some backache and shoulder pain when I woke up in the morning, I quickly jumped onto my sis's bed when she left for class coz I really need some proper rest.After lunch, my sis sent me & mum to Perth City for a day tour.

Well, it's more like sigh-seeing and some history introductory session to me...Anyway, we stopped by the Frementle Suburb. We walked around the place for about 1.5 hours, had Subway for tea break, Mum bought T-shirts for my niece & nephew. Stopped by King's Park botanical gardens for 15mins...Other than that, we passed by places like University of Western Australia, Royal Perth Yacht Club, Old Swan Brewery, Barrack Street Jetty, Maritime Museum, Motor Museum, E Shed Markets...The day tour ended ard 530pm, and guess what, it's very dark (like 7pm in SG) Whooh, truly experience the beginning of winter in Perth.

Had 'Sizzler' for dinner with frens & housemates of my younger sis...we ordered steaks, pork ribs, chicken chop and it comes with free flow salad bar, ice-creams, desserts, fruits, soft drinks & hot beverages...Yum Yum!! After a heavy meal, we all went to Burswood (the casino in Perth) for visitation. Since my sis is a member of the casino, we can have free flow hot beverages...Well, that's about my first day in Perth, hehe!!

The day l flied to Perth...14th May 2007

2007-05-16T01:29:00.000+08:00

My flight from Singapore to Perth was scheduled on 1550, 14th May 2007 by Tiger Airways. I booked the air ticket back in Feb, 07 as I saw the promotion thru the net. This time I travel with my Mum. (Frankly, going on vacation with elderly people is not as fun as you thought of sometimes, hehe!!) We reached the Budget Terminal around 1 plus in the afternoon by cab. I took some photos there, inside and outside the terminal. Tong (used to be my net pal...) called me while I was checking in. He met me at the terminal since he had free time...after that 3 of us went to Han's for snacks & coffee. Abt 3pm, me & Mum went into the Boarding Gate. I was quite excited by then as I haven't flied for a long long time.

The seats for Tiger Airways are not very big (I think it should be bigger if you fly on other airlines), quite new in a way, no food served but they sell some on the plane (so do prepare some SGD...) The duration from SG to Perth took about 4 hours and 45 minutes. We reached Perth International Airport around 850pm. After clearing of our baggages, called my sis to pick us up from the airport. The weather is cold at nite, freezing...Finally my sis & her housemate (Jessie) appeared, was so glad that I saw my younger sis after so long...

Reached my sis's place and the first thing I did was online, sending out sms...Gosh, I missed my KC and frens in SG so much...Never knew that I will have this feeling!! We then went for a lite supper at Fast Eddy's, ordered wedges with sour cream & milk shakes!!

A nite at West Coast Park plus Day Tour...

2007-05-08T22:19:00.000+08:00

Alrite, the photos that I've uplodaded here comprises of 2 activities...Those photos which me & KC were wearing black tops was the nite we spent the nite stroll at West Coast Park, where you can see the 2 'Latte & Mochachino' hot drinks captured...

The other shots were taken in the bus...me & KC reached Bishan, didn't know where to go around 4-5pm, so we just got into a bus...No. 55, just took a tour from Bishan to Marine Parade area...then loop back to Bishan again. (I know it sounds stupid...but it's quite fun!) Later at nite, we had very nice Bak Kut Teh at Alexandra Market, then took some pics with the toys selling in IKEA.

Fall sick again....

2007-05-05T09:36:00.000+08:00

Fever, sore throat, coughing and headache hit me last Thurs morning...I have no choice but to see doctor during lunch hour. Got 1/2 day MC, well, coincidently KC was on MC too so he came and picked me up from my work place...I rested at home the whole afternoon, met him for dinner...I got worst on Fri morning, my head was very heavy and just made me want to sleep. At last I decided to take panadol & took bath...Got better after that, went for dinner and then took a nite stroll at West Coast Park. Had Latte & KC ordered 'Mochachino' from Mc Cafe...pretty nice. Thanks to all my frens & colleagues whom are concerned about my condition...of course biggest thanks to my KC for always being there for me!I'm getting better now!

Spider Man 3...

2007-05-01T21:17:00.000+08:00

It's the first day screening of Spider Man 3. Me & KC went to SHAW at Bugis to catch the show at 12:25noon. Well, as expected, the cinema was full house. Luckily KC booked the tickets online yesterday, hehe! Peter Parker is still good in his acting, and he has got the 'bad guy' look in the movie this time. I would say it's worth a watch...so start to plan and find your movie date for this movie ASAP...Oh yeah, there's this 'miniature' of spider man character selling now at Burger King when you purchase any Kid's Meal set or with any Value Meal set + SGD1.85. I've got one and sticked in KC's car...If you are a great fan of Spider Man...go and grab it!!

Our Moments together...

2007-05-01T20:47:00.000+08:00

Well, I just love to capture the sweetest moments together either with frens, colleagues and of course now with the one I love...My bf used to tell me: 'I prefer to recall the scenes or moments through my memory, it's more beautiful...' Perhaps for a person with superb memory like him can experience that but definitely not applicable for me, hehe! I believe most people will love to see or experience by themselves rather than plain description of how wonderful a thing, person, place really is...I just want to share my happiness & sweetness of my life thru the moments that I have captured. My favourite saying still "Treasure it when you have it, else you'll regret when you loose it..."

Lovers need some distance...

2007-04-30T09:57:00.000+08:00

This is a book which I finished reading few weeks back. Borrowed from the library while waiting for my bf (ermm, he wasn't my bf yet when I borrowed the book, haha) It is a book that I'll highly recommend to all of you (for those who read Chinese...hehe) After finishing the entire book, you'll somehow be enlightened with different perspectives and look into the relationship matters in different angle which you might have neglected or ignored all these while. For those who wish to know more about the book, get it from the library or book store, I am sure you'll enjoy it as much as me & KC do..."Love is indeed a wonderful thing if both of you know the best way to handle it"

恋爱中的男女。。。

2007-04-25T13:44:00.000+08:00

有位朋友跟我说过‘恋爱中的男女’都是满面春风，容光焕发，女的越来越美丽动人，男的也越来越帅气。。。我以前心里常这样问：“是Meh? 为什么我越来越难看。。。整天就挂着一副苦瓜脸，心事重重的样子，无精打采，肤色黯淡无光呢?” 原来跟不对的人谈恋爱会反效果的哦！

我不敢自认自己很美，但，我的确比以前美丽了。。。所谓爱情的滋润吧！我找到了我的幸福，那你呢？？

Sentosa Trip with KC...21042007

2007-04-23T09:19:00.000+08:00

Last weekend was indeed a romantic, blissful and meaningful one...I spent my weekend with my bf at Sentosa. He hasn't visited there for quite a while. The mono rail has started operating, it costs SGD3 for adult. The weather was sunny when we reached there, around 2:30pm...As we walked towards the Siloso Beach, the weather started changing...black clouds, windy...we managed to get on the bus before the rain started. Whooh, we were just so lucky!! It rained for a while but then stopped. Everything went smoothly. We spent about 3-4 hrs there...we returned to Vivo City and grabbed some snacks. Another nice place to relax and chit-chatting is the garden at the 3rd level of Vivo City.Me & KC just sat down on the grass, had our snacks, chit-chatted...then both of us lying down, enjoyed the atmosphere and spending sweet moments together.I guess this place would be one of our dating spot, hehe! Alright, I have uploaded the photos, do enjoy k!!

Connie's Belated Birthday Celebration...

2007-04-18T08:59:00.000+08:00

I have this wonderful 'sister' of mine...Connie. I arranged a belated birthday celebration for her yesterday at the Pu Tian Restaurant along Kichener Rd. We ordered 3 chef recommended dishes...was pretty full though. It was a nice catch up and I want to wish her all the best in everything and stay pretty!!

Wisdom Tooth surgery....

2007-04-12T18:21:00.001+08:00

Okiess...I have been staying at home for 3 days because I've just undergone a minor surgery last Tues, 420pm to take out 2 wisdom teeth. 1 tooth on the lower part is impacted and decayed, 1 tooth on the upper part is useless...so the dentist suggested to extract both out at one time. For those who have gone through the process, I believe you have had the same experience that I am experiencing at this moment...For those who haven't, try not to think so much, haha!!

Anyway, a little recap on the process of extracting my wisdom tooth...Firstly, the injection to make my gum as numb as possible...Few minutes later, my lower lips, upper cheek and my gum went totally numb...Then another injection of steroid to prevent too much swollen after the surgery. Then the real surgery began. I kinda feel the pressure of being drilled but there was not much pain afterall...but when the dentist started pulling my tooth out, I can feel that my jaw was going to drop...Wheeeewww!! It's not a good feeling okie...I didn't enjoy it! The upper tooth was a normal extraction...Less than an hour, I lost my 2 teeth...keke!!

Look at my sweet smile, this was taken the day before the surgery....

Oh poor me...Look at me...swollen cheek...It's like Botox injection where I can't smile, can't feel anything around my right side...

Staying home, the swollen thing gone...but I have to depend on pain killers coz I got migrane once in a while...

Steam Boat session with colleagues...

2007-04-12T18:20:00.000+08:00

I have some pending blogs to be posted up before I forget about them...Last Thurs, me & some colleagues went for Steam Boat at Kallang area...The shop is operated by a China Lady Boss, all the workers are from there too...Can noticed that most of the customers are mainly from China. Well, I took some photos but the funny thing was...I was not in any of the photos this time!! Anyway, do enjoy the photos...

My team leader...drinking beer, hehe!!

Our Happy Go Lucky gal....Serena

Miss Cutie...Vivian, sit beside me in office...

Alan-san...the example of good husband...

30th March 2007...Pre-celebration for Sharon's Birthday!!

2007-04-02T11:43:00.000+08:00

Okies...This post will have many many photos to be shared among my friends. Last Friday was a special day, initially there's another plan going for steamboat among all colleagues but unfortunately, some couldn't make it so we postponed it to coming Thurs. On the other hand, Sharon was expecting to spend the nite with her hubby on Fri nite...but due to some unforseen circumstances, she changed her plan, going out and chilled out with me, Serena and Vivian instead...We had our dinner at 'New York New York'...The food is delicious and so yummy...for people who loves western cruisine, you might not want to miss it, never ever...Just check out the photos I took, you'll understand why...We bought a cake for Sharon as a surprise, Mango Mousse from Jack's Place...I guess photos speak louder than words, I shall not waste your time...Enjoy!!!

Some other activities we did together...

2007-04-02T11:28:00.000+08:00

Having breakfast at Yakun, Tampines...we reached office ard 8:00-810am when we stayed at Sharon's place...haha!!

2 lovely dishes prepared by Sharon for our dinner...

Went for Dim Sun at 'Red Star' restaurant on Sat morning...

Those were the days at Sharon's place...

2007-04-02T11:14:00.000+08:00

Okies, there are some photos that I want to show all of you some times back...forgot to transfer out the photos from my hp, that's why a bit delay...When I was putting up at my colleague's (Sharon) place, we had cooked several meals at night...mostly done by Sharon, me & the rest just helped up a little on cutting the vege, cleaning up the dishes...the best part of course was Eating!! Yum Yum...

The process of cooking...

Yeah, that's me...

The tomato based Spaghetti sauce. There's asparagus, celery, tomatoes, chicken chunks, fresh mushrooms.

We were having the wheat spaghetti...high in fibre!!

The final work...Ta Dahhhh...

I'm back home!

2007-03-26T12:26:00.000+08:00

Well, after staying at my colleague's place for about 1 week...it's time to get back to my old lifestyle again. As a matter of fact, I miss my room the most coz it gives me the feeling that 'I'm home'...There are so many familiar things which are kept in my little bedroom! Sometimes people tend to leave home for a short period of time due to different reasons...but one fine day, you'll then realise 'Home' is the most comfortable place to live in!!

虽然我不是她，但。。。

2007-03-21T12:20:00.000+08:00

认识我的人都知道我的华语水准很烂，每当我用华语来表达自己的心情时，肯定是因为体会很深，感触很强烈。‘她’是谁？（对不起，不便告知!）

'她'现在的心情一定是跌到最低谷，失去了原有的自信心，灿烂的笑容，天真活泼的个性。虽然我不是她，但。。。我看得出她彷徨的心情，无奈的眼神，呐喊不出的痛楚！看着她眼里不断涌出的眼泪，我的心也跟她一样难过。不要怕，有我在。。。不只是我，还有好多好姐妹。不要放弃噢！！加油！

Steamboat & Karaoke session...

2007-03-20T12:21:00.000+08:00

Last Sat, I went to my colleague's place. She is organising a steamboat session at her place for the very first time. I helped her on washing & cutting the vegetables, sliced the fish, arranged the food on the plates, well, basically spent half a day in the kitchen with her, haha! Pretty fun but tired. She invited her frens along too, whom are now my friend as well...hehe!!

Yupe, another Karoke session...

Staying at colleague's place...so Niceeee

2007-03-19T11:10:00.000+08:00

Okie, I managed to take the outter look of my colleague's place which I had been staying for a couple of days already. The design of the house is actually called "Duplet". There are 2 huge bed rooms, dining hall, living hall, kitchen, laundry room, maid's room...Her home is 24 hours air-conditioned (that's a place in SG where you'll always need to wear jacket/sweater...hihi)

Raffles, The Plaza...Cool!

2007-03-19T10:39:00.000+08:00

So, as I said, after sneaking into my sis's hotel room...I took some photos there (as usual la...I just loved to take photos for keep sake and share with you all...) You should be glad for my generousity, keke!! The room is so cozy...with balcony, I wondered how much does it costs per-nite??

(This is the view when I walked out from the room and stood on the balcony...)

(Woww...Nice, comfortable bed with thick mattress and soft pillows)

(Bath Tub...I want, I want.... The bathroom is so elegant...)

(Actually there's a phone hanging on the wall infront of the toilet bowl...That's simply amazing coz you can still chat with friends when you poo poo...hahaha) Look at those 2 miniature mouth wash...That's the difference when you stay in an expensive hotel with budget hotel...keke!

Meeting my Elder Sis(Vivian) in Singapore.

2007-03-19T10:33:00.000+08:00

Last Fri-Sat, my elder was here in Singapore for company meetings. There were a total of 8 people from the company who came down all the way from KL. I didn't manage to catch up with her much coz she had a very pack schedule. Only manage to sneak into her hotel room (Raffles, The Plaza) haha...She is a mother of 2, still pretty and in good shape...

New Look again....Mar '07

2007-03-19T10:18:00.001+08:00

Eversince I started to trim my hair shorter...it just gets shorter and shorter...Anyway, I just want to try on this hairstyle coz I saw 小S with this hairstyle in her latest 康熙来了。Looks quite cute and adorable. Somehow I didn't really satisfy with my haircut coz maybe of my hair texture(not as smooth & silky), quite hard to maintain as a matter of fact(needs to blow dry my hair after wash...) It's a good try but I guess I look better in longer hairstyle...Don't you think so???

Photos to share at Colleague's Open House

因为这个故事只有我懂得欣赏，非常明白及理解故事的开始，发展，延续和结局。我会永远把它收藏在我内心深处，有空时拿来翻阅及回味。故事的每一个情节都刻在我心里，哪怕有一天我将离去，它依然会陪伴着我。。。

Came back from CNY holiday....

2007-02-22T16:08:00.000+08:00

Hello my dear friends, how's CNY celebration this year?? Good? Superb? Managed to get a lot of ang pows huh?? or started to give ang pows, hehe!! As for me, I went back to KL on Friday(16th Feb) morning. Reached home around 11am, my Dad picked me up. Mum was at home busy preparing the ingredients to cook 'Ayam Masak Merah', a kind of Malay dish...I had a little headache so I rested on the sofa...until I got better, helped my Mum to cook. Went to shop after that, my Mum bought some clothes and I got a pair of high heels for CNY. Me & mum made agar-agar at night.

CNY eve was a busy day, was at home helping mum in the kitchen most of the time. Baked a Walnut Butter Cake. Washed the dishes whole day long coz Mummy said the maid's finger was injured so I became the maid lor...This year we had our reunion dinner around 530pm...considered the earliest, finished dinner around 7pm. Then I watched TV programmes, my elder sister & her family came home for visit.

I spent my CNY mostly at home, watched TV programmes...chit-chatted with my parents. I didn't get a lot of ang pow this year...firstly is lazy, secondly I feel very pai-seh!! Anyway, I'm back to work. Brought back some crakers for my colleagues. I'm going to one of my colleague's house for CNY Open House this coming Saturday and going to CEO's Open House with another colleague next Saturday.

Wishing everybody "HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR"

2007-02-13T10:45:00.000+08:00

First of all, wishing all of you a "Prosperous & Healthy Year Ahead" for those who celebrate Chinese New Year. As for me, I'll be travelling back to KL this coming Friday morning. My feeling is 'so-so' only as when time goes by, I don't really fancy on the Ang Pow collection mood anymore...feel a bit 'Pai Seh' also. Anyway, it's an opportunity for me to gather around with my parents and grandma, younger sis is in Perth, elder sis is married...so left only ME...~wawawa~ so pity.

I managed to get some new clothes last Saturday...finally! Didn't get new shoes yet which I wanted to...Nevermind, perhaps I'll just grab it after new year then...Been spending quite a lot this month so need to cover it back first, keke! I didn't get my new hairdo also...Sienzzzz. Everyting will postpond before I go to Perth in May...know why?? Coz I wanna look cool in the photos...hahaha...

Somehow I can feel that 2007 is a blessed year for me...I hope it goes the same for all of you out there!!! "新年快乐 & 万事如意"

Two Saturdays ago - 27th Jan 2007, I attended my colleague's ROM. Her name is Sharon, married to an American guy Carmon. Me & my other colleagues have helped up in her wedding preparation 1 month before her Wedding day. It was very rush and tiring throughout the whole process but somehow the outcome was pretty good. Everyone is happy, enjoyed and had a wonderful time.

If you miss it, nevermind...Remember this special date (22/01) ok, it's my Birthday!! Well, initially I thought not many people will remember my BIG day as I don't have many friends in Singapore. Suprisingly, I've received the most birthday wishes this year!!

Let me recall...since last week, I had an early birthday greeting from my younger sis. Yesterday midnite - Bee, Sork Kuan, my Mum& Dad...and this moring - Diana, Catherine (Tyng), Little Bryan, Lily, Soo Yee, Mike Yang, John Law and My elder sis...

During lunch time, my colleagues gave me a birthday surprise!! They bought me a cake and a combined birthday present. They are so sweet!! Thank you Sharon, Vivian, Yee Chen, Serena and Alan. I have a kind feeling that this year is going to be a GREAT year. Hee....

Additional notes:-
I received birthday greetings from Adrian just before I knocked off, then before 12 midnite from Woan Ling and a belated birthday wish from Connie around 1:10am! Thanks....

I've got an EARLY birthday gift this year....

2007-01-18T11:51:00.000+08:00

Oh yes, when I reached home after shopped with my colleagues, as usual I'll check the letters on the table right beside the main door. I've got a letter from Australia, of course it's from my younger sister who is currently doing her Degree course there. It didn't surprise me as she told me that she's going to send me a letter.

When I unsealed the envelope, there's a birthday card which says: "Don't Worry If You Start To See a Few Wrinkles - It Doesn't Necessarily Mean You're Getting Older"...and I flipped to the next page, it says: "...It Could Mean That Your Eyesight is Improving!!!"... then I saw this tiny little white packet, I opened it up and saw this beautiful necklace which my sister bought for my birthday. Thank you, Ni gal...You are such a lovely sis!!

I'm SICK....

2007-01-17T14:20:00.000+08:00

I had fever, cold, headache, pains all over my joints after work last Monday. I went to see doctor on my way home. The doctor didn't say anything, just give me a day of MC and told me to rest. When I reached home, I felt so cold that I had to wear long sleeve shirt & long pants. I took the medicine following the instruction given by the clinic assistant.

When I woke up the next day, I couldn't stand up or walk around...I was so tired and had no strength to do anything. I was all alone and helpless...all I could do is just lying on my bed and continue sleeping.

Abt 6pm in the evening, I managed to walk a little...Went out to had some food for dinner and came back home again to rest...Although my fever has gone but I still have headache...My head is so heavy and make me really uncomfortable. Oh man, when can I get it of this headache thingy...It's really torturing me!!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

2007-01-04T09:49:00.000+08:00

First of all, I would like to wish all of you a very HAPPY NEW YEAR of 2007. Well, it's the 4th day of the year and I am back to work for the very first day, hee!! I had a long break last weekend, spent my time back in Malaysia but didn't really enjoy it becoz I was hit by severe headache most of the days...I don't know why but it just happened all the time.

So my fello friends out there, what is your new year plan?? Hmm, I think I'll plan for more vacation this year coz this is one of my dreams to go around the world...If you have any ideas on where to go, do let me know yah!!! Or maybe we can go together...coz I definitely don't want to go alone!
