Just another boring post
Christmas is over and New Year's coming. 2011. Time flies.
kk's mum + Aunty + Cousin + Niece came over to our house for a short stay on 23 Dec and returned on the 26 Dec. There's actually not much entertaining to be done for my part, simply because I'm didnt take leave off work, and they drove down from Penang and the car could only take 5 people. ( though dear kept asking me to squeeze into the car but I strongly didnt want to take the risk). So they went to orchard road for the Christmas lighting on the first day, universal studios on the 2nd day and zoo on the 3rd day. On the 4th day, we brought them to clementi market to have breakfast, and then off they returned to Penang.
After they left, I had a lot of chores to be done - like, packing and tidying up the room they slept in, my laundry and the routine chores. BUT i havent even started on the chores. haha. yeah, call me a lazy bum. ;p
alright, thats all for now. I shall think of a post to round up 2010 soon. Til then!

My embarrassing moments
Makeup can make a normal girl pretty, and make a normal girl look ugly (ghostly) depending on the skills of the makeup artist.
Ok now. I tried to forget how ghostly I looked during my Penang wedding, until the cruel (but innocent) sis posted the pictures up on Facebook to share to EVERYONE..worst still, she tagged me. Haha! Since I think it's a bit too late to ask her to remove/untag, I shall graciously post the ghostly pictures on my blog to let you guys see.
This is the pretty me
This is the normal me (with cute lil Yiting)
This is the ghostly me. See the HUGE difference?
Well, I cant complain much.. coz it's some cheap cheap salon in Malaysia. I'm not trying to say all salons in Malaysia are lousy, but at least the one that I went to was, making the whole day lousy for me. Everyone wants to be the prettiest on that special day.. and not, erm... ghostly...
Seriously. I should have remove the makeup back to the natural me on that night.. But then KK was already showing signs of anger when I kept on whining about the lousy makeup that evening... that's why I kept the makeup on. Furthermore, it's my MIL who source for the salon and paid for it. I couldnt do something that will risk my MIL-DIL relationship right?
One conclusion. Always find a reputable makeup artist. If not, go natural.

My dear
My dear has been stuck in the airport for dunno how long, due to the freezing of runway and centimeters thick snow.
He got "trapped" in Birmingham first for about 8 hours, before he was able to fly to Amsterdam.. Due to the delay, he was unable to catch his connecting flight back to SG and hence, forced to stay in the airport hotel for a night without his luggage. For your information, Singapore airlines only have 1 flight per day from Amsterdam to Singapore.
Right now, he is at the airport.. but he is fifth on the waiting list due to overbooking! The KLM airline told KK that they couldnt trace his luggage! WTH! I guess the airport is really in a mess right now. I dont mind if they delay returning the luggage as long as it is not missing!!!! If he is sooooo unlucky, he will not be able to board the plane today... and had to stay for another night in the hotel without his luggage, PLUS I can only see him on Wed.
Please give him some luck from me. I miss him.

Suayness
I rushed all the way to my hairdresser's place once my office clock struck 5.30pm. I rushed all the way walking at lightning speed coz I got an appt with her at 6pm - city hall. I don't wanna be late, coz I'm catching a movie with my niece at jurong point at 7.55pm. Upon reaching the place, I'm so glad that I'm only 2 mins late. God, I'm fast. To my surprise, the salon was empty. Real empty. I quickly called my hairdresser to ask where she had moved to, hoping it is still within the building itself.. She only picked up my call after the 3rd redial n an SMS. She said that she had moved to clarke quay, and then expected me to meet her there.
I felt so sore upon hearing it. She didnt make a point to update her loyal customers on her relocation! I asked her when is the next available slot, and she said she's very busy with her current relocating of the salon, and so she'll contact me again if I can't make it today. Super sian. To think that I moved in lightning speed and with my slippers and puddles of water after a heavy rain, my white skirt turned into grey polka dots. Wasted my $$$ and time traveling as well. Right now I'm on the train going towards jurong point. I hope suayness don't come in threes, coz suay number 1 is the wasted trip, number 2 is the grey polka dots.
Ok, one good thing to end my day... Rapunzel is a nice show. I love princess movie!!

Killing some time by blogging
Today all the bosses are having board meeting at Shangri-la Hotel.. thus, it's no government time again~! haha. Morning routine work are done.. so right now, I'm having plenty of time to blog before heading for lunch.
Today's thursday, and I am counting down to the day where dear will be back from birmingham. To think that he stayed on 1 more day just to watch his favourite soccer team, Newcastle's away match before returning. He really knows how to enjoy eh.
Been staying at my mum's house for the past 2 days. I really enjoyed the accompany there.. Especially seeing the kids running towards me and giving me a big hug whenever i got home - I think they missed me as well. Probably a not-so-good thing about staying in mum's house is, I don't have a dry area to get change!
This evening I'm popping back to my house to check on the letterbox (i'm waiting for my health screening results for some time already) as well as removing all those leaflets and newspaper that are stuck on my house's gate. I can't stop pple from putting adverts and distributing newspaper when I'm away.. but it's a bit not safe (i think) to let pple know that you are not around at home.

Praying.
The more I think about it, the more worrying I get.. The symptoms are obvious but somehow I want to be delusional. I am afraid that he is the confirmed case of SMA. I googled and did some research.. the articles give a wide range of life expectancy... can be from age of 2 to 3rd decade of life.
Of course, I pray that he is alright... but as a science student, I can't help but to think of the worst case scenario.. Let's pray for his blood results to be negative of the SMN gene mutation.
I'm so sad. I'm so afraid. Oh god, he's just a baby.

Random introduction.
Introducing Penang's Roast Pork rice! Each piece of roast pork is finely cut into slices but retains the crisp, and coated with delicious sauce! I didnt like to eat pork.. but I tried some and it was great!
Not to forget, my all time favourite rojak. Each piece is coated with the black sticky sauce, and the boss was generous with the peanut coating. :) This rojak is not like our local, where it'll turn watery after a while. A must-have dish whenever I'm back as Penang!

It's over. Penang wedding.
Alrighty! It's been a while. I'm done with my 2nd wedding in Penang. It's not a very exciting day, coz I felt a tad shitty due to:
1. Ugly makeup by not so professional salon
2. Boring + communication breakdown coz i couldnt understand cantonese
3. My heels strap broke.
Nevertheless, I'm happy with my dear, who tried his best to lessen the shittiness I mentioned above. I'm also happy that everyone enjoyed the dinner as the food was tasty. Best of all, my family members who were willing to take leave and flew there to give me moral support. :)
It's not an easy task to handle such a large group of people, especially young kids. They are curious, hyperactive and long-winded. They ran around like there's no tmr. And they couldnt keep up their energy level to last the whole day... so we returned without much shopping and sight-seeing. I didnt take much pictures, but i'm sure my Sister-in-law and sis did. At least they were all house under 1 hotel, whereas I stayed with my husband's family. :( I'm so envious that they could all stay together when I'm not.. and I think I will never get to have a opportunity like this again.
Anyway, Dear's flying to europe for biz trip this weekend for a week.. and I shall be alone in the house for a few days and then return to stay with my mum for a few days as well. I miss all of them!!
