Day 3 in Milan
Had a hearty breakfast provided by hotel Berna. Took a shower and off we went to duomo. On the way to central station, saw peddlers at the central square area and bought a fridge magnet as souvenior. Upon reaching, we saw the magnificent cathedral (Duomo) and we went ahead to get the entrance ticket to the rooftop via lift.
The cathedral had very high ceiling, chandeliers, huge oil paintings I assume, statues, blowpipe piano, stain glass etc.
It was simply amazing. We were there for quite sometime, enjoyed the breeze and sunshine on the rooftop, took loads and loads of pictures and then head for a late lunch at burger king. oh ya, we paid 15 cents for 2 packs of tomato sauce!
After lunch, we walked around to do some window shopping and sight seeing, bought a photo frame from milano store along the way, and went to a gelateria for ice-cream :)
We then got to a departmental store named La Rinascente and had dinner at the highest level of the departmental store, open air (with a lot of smokers) over seeing the magnificient duomo. The restaurant was obika, mozeralla bar. The food was nice, but it the cheesy mozeralla was too much for us to take it!
Before we left we took a few more pics n returned to hotel where we book tickets for Paris disneyland, tickets for lion king musical, tickets to London eye, madam Tussaud and Thames river cruise.

Journal (Day 1 and 2 - London to Milan)

Ibis hotel - Budget hotel.
We reached London Heathrow around 8pm. Slight delay due to busy airport runway, hence we took a few rounds hovering above the sky before landing. Upon landing, all we could feel was the intense coldness! Cold and tired, we quickly retrieve our luggage, bought a hoppa bus ticket and got to our budget hotel to stay for a night before flying to Milan. I was already having dry skin and bloodshot eyes due to the long flight from SG! I hit the bed immediately.
Woke up at 6am to get to the airport. Time for our first destination - Milan! It was an hour half flight to Malpensa airport. We flew over snow mountains in clear blue sky! Pretty!

Locals sunbathing under bright sun (but cold wind) in the park inside Castello castle.

This is me, with some Arc at the very end of the castle. We walked quite a distance to reach this point.
Bought a bus ticket to central station and then walked to our hotel. Berna hotel. Upon settling down, we headed out for late lunch around central station, and then bought 2 day metro pass and went to Castello castle, Arc de pace and San Siro stadium. Dear wanted to catch the soccer match there, but all the cheaper tickets were sold out. He was really really down. Further more, we walked a VERY long way to the stadium. =( It was really tiring.

Last but not least, we saw this cart selling tidbits to tourists and I noticed that the chinese description for ice cream was really hilarious. "冰激凌"
Heavy hearted, we went back to the hotel and fire up tripadvisor app on iphone to search for a reasonable place to have our dinner. Le Osteria del Treno was the name of the restaurant. It was quite a good meal, but I didnt have much appetite due to the jet lag. Dear didnt felt the jet lag coz after all he was a frequent traveller! We returned to the hotel after dinner and I went to sleep after a shower.

Penang shopping
After having a bowl of bird nest!
Woke up around 6am n got ready for “sweep tomb”. I was lucky, it's a cloudy morning. Starting drizzling after we were done :) reached home n took a short nap.
Went shopping after lunch n got myself a nice pajamas, a pair of boots and 3 tops. Yeah! Had my craving for rojak fixed n right now resting at home again before having dinner.
That's all for the bits n pieces!

One more week!
Just one more week to my honeymoon!
23 March 2011
Mid week
I had done the itinerary for my Europe trip. I hope that it is acceptable to my dear. I spent some time doing it. =)
As i'm staying over at my mum's place currently, the kids at home are keeping me entertained. They brought me laughter every time I see them after returning home from work. I love them so much!
Sis called and said that her 2 girls requested to have a stay over at my house this Sat out of the blue, and I agreed. :) I love them too!
21 March 2011
Weak and fragile period
I called out to him and signalled to him just to let him know that I was awake, so that he would come to bid me goodbye before leaving. I was so afraid that he would just leave, not wanting to disturb my sleep..
And there he came, sat beside me on the bed, telling me to take care of myself while he's on biz trip. We hugged and he kissed me on my lips and forehead, saying "goodbye". A sudden rush of feelings came and tears welled up. I replied with "you take care too, I miss you. Bye" and he walked off. I heard him closed the door and I went back to rest til it's time for me to get up and prepare for work. Being sick and alone in the house made me missed him so much.
I want to get well soon. I am so sick of taking so many medications. I want to be healthy, so that I can enjoy my upcoming honeymoon.
17 March 2011
Fixed, and not fixing it again
The 3 wall tiles were fixed and right after the man left, we found another piece of crack tile... i guess it cracked due to the installation of the other pieces. Dear said that the dust and work to be done after the installation was too troublesome to go through again. Thus, we have to live with the crack one.
15 March 2011
2 more weeks.
Ever since the decision to go Europe, I have been asking myself (and some others) to buy or not to buy a branded. It's obviously cheaper than Sg, but a branded needs thousands, even I save hundreds. Will that justify my spending? Anyway, I have come to a decision. NOT to buy. Seeing my fabric Gucci right now lying under my study table growing/smelling moldy, torn and dulled from everyday use (for 2 years), seeing it landing to this state, I still feel a bit wasted even though it had served me good. I couldn't even bear to throw it away.. it's a bit of wasting space as well eh. I just hope that my decision will not be swayed upon reaching the galleria of Paris. ;p

Desaru, Farewell.
Driving up to Desaru was not an easy task. It was tiring, especially for the drivers. Long roads, glaring sun, lazy afternoon, pot holes on the ground etc, I think you guys can imagine how tough it was. Thanks everyone for making this trip enjoyable. I surely did enjoy myself. :)
Had our early farewell lunch for Shirly and Nat this afternoon, at rochester park, Northborder. Food was good and dessert was nice. :) We had a fun time doing crazy stuff in the lab, taking pictures and laughing hard. Happy time flies fast, and Nat is leaving first this Friday and shirly's next.
All the best to them! We will miss having you girls around!

Backdated post
Yesterday was our first year wedding anniversary, the date that we signed on the papers. I took 2hours off work and dear came to pick me up in a cab.
We went iluma to buy a bag that I fancied, then we went to Resortworld to explore and take pictures. We had our dinner at Osia bar and restaurant, which I think the pre-dinner set menu was quite worth the money. 3 course dinner with 4 options on appetizer and main course each, and it cost only 38++ per set. The dessert was a surprise - melted chocolate with black pepper vanilla ice cream. Delicious! I need to add in that the portion of food was not huge, just nice for ladies. So men may need a double serving! Most importantly, their service was great! Will return next time i guess. :)
After dinner, we went to take the cable car ride to Jewel box, the place where we exchanged our vows a year ago. We choose Moonstone (restaurant) for our short chilling session, enjoying the pretty night scene for a bit before we decided to take the cable ride to harbourfront city and take a cab home.

Blockage
Block nose usually works up in the night just before i sleep, or when i wake up and then stretch into the early morning. It's really inconvenient. I cant have a good sleep at night, and I cant focus at work in the day. Afternoon time it will get better, but it will start again if I had something spicy or some allergens to trigger it off.
I can't help but to think, to have cause this long time flu-like block nose for nearly 2 months and without recovery is the work by some parasites. haha! Too much of hearing and watching a few episodes of monster inside me!
14 February 2011
Happy Valentine's Day!
As for me, my significant other is not able to be with me as he is out on Biz trip in NZ. But he still whatsapped me the first thing in the morning to have a happy v-day. :) What surprised me though, was the bouquet of purple roses delivered to my office~! Thanks hubby!

CNY flashdrive
See this cute flash drive? Dear got it for me in Penang. Thanks! He mentioned that this is his cny gift for me and thus he wants one in return. I replied to him saying, that's a compensation of leaving me alone in singapore n not having enough time to keep me company through this cny.
And guess what, he whatsapp me and said he is going for shopping in Penang island today. -_- Enjoy lo! I'm down here working.... ;p

CNY
Anyway, on the eve of CNY, we prayed to our ancestors and had steamboat for lunch and dinner. -_-. Not very appetising I must admit. But luckily the not so appetising day was compensated by a nice buffet dinner and a nice lunch the next day before I returned to Sg. :)
Spent my sat at sis house and brought my mum to watch it's a great great world on sun.
And I gotta work today.
So busy til I feel that I do not have enough time to rest, not much of "me" time. *yawnz*

30 Jan 2011
So to fit to my schedule, my family had our early reunion dinner yesterday, plus a bday celebration for our dad. I can see that my dad was really happy yesterday, especially when he received the ang bao from me. haha. (bday angbao and CNY combined - and yet he requested for another one -_-)
Dear also tried out his new camera lens yesterday on the kids. It's really nice. I like it too. haha~ As I'm lazy to learn those apertures thingy, I just use the mode dear sets. If the picture's not nice, I just switched to auto mode. The effect still turns out very nice! haha. Anyway, it's tough to capture active child's photo, so most of our pics are blur. We need to practice and brush up our photography skills!
Pictures on facebook!

Angry bird 343
This bird, named 343(coz she was found at blk 343), is currently back with her savior. 343 was found in a big drain in clementi. 2 guys lifted up the drain cover and Suz went down to pick her up, and sent it to a vet. Having no injuries, 343 was free to go.. but the problem was, she's still a young bird and didnt know how to fly, so suz had to find someone to take care of her, since she already had her hands full.
We volunteered and took care of her for a week, and she had learn how to fly. However, she is still not able to let go to the wild because she is not able to feed itself. Thinking of monkey see monkey do, we return 343 back to Suz and hoped that 343 is able to learn feeding by watching Suz's crow and pigeon. Another week passed and 343 is still not able to feed for herself.
Let's hope that 343 is able to feed soon and leave to start its own family!

Cutie pies
I'm staying at my mum's place this week and this means that I get to play with lil' yixin and yiting! Both of them are really happy to see me back (well, that's what i think from their rxns)! hee. Yiting has more teeth now! Haha! She's having 2 more teeth coming up on the top row, so cute! I just love her smile and her cheeks (+cheeky face) *melts*
This is pretty yixin all ready to go to school!
13 January 2011
2nd week.
Plus, we are going shopping for suits/pants (dear) and probably a pair of flats for me. Yeah! Yeah!
Last but not least, after a few days of getting the iphone, I want to say thanks to Nat for installing whatsapp for me (then KK went to purchase the app after seeing mine coz it's really convenient and cheap when he's out on biz trip) and I managed to get linked up with my friend over in Aust as well. Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!

Silly goose.
If not, he may have to cancel the trip. Gosh. A black mark made due to negligence.
But, I still have the goose with me.. hehee

Week 1, 2011
We finally got the TV and soundbar in the bedroom wall mounted... and bought extension and use cable wrap and 3M hooks to make the wires look less messy. I bought wall decals online (and still awaiting for delivery) to paste around the wires so well.
We also mounted a round metal piece in the study room. That's where we will place our collections of magnets from the countries that dear or we went to. :)
Also, I got bought the 3M hooks to hang up my masterpiece. A cross stitch I did a few months ago to celebrate our wedding.
We also mounted our wall clock. and I'm so loving it. It made the plain white wall looks interesting.
I bought a mouse to replace the faulty one at home. It's a cute one that lits up once I on my vaio. No picture, coz i'm lazy to take and upload anymore.
We bought a bar counter to place at the corner of our house. ;) The delivery is scheduled after CNY. So, picture will be up later.
Also, dear bought me an iphone (32gb), and I already started using it. Activated the sunsurf data plan from M1. Right now, my ipod touch is solely for music and gaming purposes and my iphone is for phonecalls and smses.
Quite a nice start of the year... BUT I was sick since 1st Jan.. and now I'm still sick. Self medication doesnt seems to help.
Oh ya! I have to say THANKS to my dad who helped me for the drilling and screwing, so that we can mount all those items up.

My 2011
After dinner, we sat around watching the serial 爱. We switched on the aircon and the kids had fun playing and jumping around on the sofa bed in the study room. They screamed and shouted and got into hyperactive mode. After the serial, when mum announced that they were going home, my sis's daughter Felicia made a request to stayover at my house. :) Of course I agreed! My sis hesitated for a moment and acceded to her request.
They got up early in the morning and shouted a bright "good morning" to me. I'm so happy. They are all so cute and innocent. ;p They said that they enjoyed the night's stay and will like to have more of these next time. We waited for brother-in-law to come and pick up sis and the 2 girls, and we went to have breakfast together before they headed home.
Right now, I'm feeling a bit sick-lish. No appetite at all. Blocked nose. Didnt have the energy to clean and tidy up the house. Lucky that I'm off the next 2 days so that I can recuperate and do some chores.
Anyway, I know. I'm having those maternal instinct. Tell you guys frankly, one of my new year resolution this year is to conceive.

28 December 2010
Just another boring post
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
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.
20 December 2010
My dear
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.
17 December 2010
Suayness
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'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.
14 December 2010
Praying.
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.
11 December 2010
Random introduction.
10 December 2010
It's over. Penang wedding.
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!!

Sick
I dreamt that I was going to take half day mc coz of fever, so I told natori-San about it... But he didn't want to approve and instead said that I can stay in the office and rest and finish a report for him and so I need not do lab work! I was feeling really terrible and out of breathe and fell to the floor when SY came to hold on to me. I was gasping for air. She then shouted if anyone has those puffer and then JS came. I woke up with a fright and it was 11pm...
I went out to get a drink and by then my fever was way high. I couldn't hear coz of ear blockage and I don't have any energy left in me.. I returned to bed as soon as I drank.
Right now, still running slight fever, I'm blogging while lying on bed. My knee caps are sore and I felt giddy when standing... Will go for a doctor soon as I gathered the strength.

一分钱一分货
Yesterday I got my wedding photo CD from my sis.. our 2nd photographer on our wedding day (the lady). We only looked through once and now the CD is just lying on the table. I can't believe my sis actually introduce this sub-standard friend of hers to me.. Ok, I can give her credit for the point that she worked hard for the whole day and she even took leave... Seriously, I can do the same job with point and shoot digi cam. -_- I regretted to agree to take her without looking at her portfolio.. and I did ask her many times for samples of her pics and she kept on delaying til I had no choice but to agree on it. That's a very wrong move.
I havent got back the photos from my main photographer (which is 5x more ex than the lady). But I believe it's really 一分钱一分货。 I pinned high hopes for his pictures. Don't let me down YK!
To add as a reminder to ourselves, we havent get the videos from the videographer as well! Need to contact them!

Half day off with mum
First thing first, bone scan was ok... Then the ct scan scanned a tiny stone in the gall, slight swelling in one of the kidneys and 1cm3 polypoidal lesion in the cervix. As we need answers to the hard spots, we had to go for biopsy next week and another doctor's review. The doc referred us to gynae for the cervix lesion. Let's hope everything fine for mum.
We went ntuc after that, coz mum wants to cook for me :) as I was walking around, I picked up a gold chain. I looked around but seems like no one was looking for it.... So finder's keeper. Quite a nice one actually, but we decided to sell it off to the pawn shop tonight.

Theme birthday celebration
So now, I shall blog about yesterday. Ryker's first birthday celebration. It was held at NSRCC, at changi coast walk... we brought along the "costume" in Jungle/safari theme that we made just a few days ago.. At that point of time, I was thinking, everyone will probably dressed up in animals.. so I shall have those insects and creepy crawlies... I went to a party shop in Holland V and bought those crawlies.. Then we got home and KK brought out his unwanted white Tees for me to draw and stick on. Tadaa~~ it's done.. and both of us had a disgusted look on our face, asking each other " are we really going to wear this?" haha
Back to yesterday, we reached there and I wanted to put on the costume that we made. Kk refused and said he wanted to see if there's anyone else dressing up. He didnt want to be the odd one out. Indeed, upon reaching, everyone was just in theme color - green, some with accessories in theme... but none of them had costumes that was like us. -_- Kk felt "cheated" and hence he refused to wear his.. but, as a spontaneous guest, I decided to put that on, not wanting to waste my effort (in purchasing the items and superglue-ing them, which in turn my fingers kena superglued). I felt a bit odd coz my husband forsake me and I had to wear that on my own. =( but after a while, I forgot about the costume and everything was just felt normal. haha. Oh! Forgot to mention, I got the best dressed gift from the host as well!! Thank you so much~!
We went back after the cake cutting ceremony (of course, i removed the costume). ZD drove us to the Expo train station and during the journey, ZX and I had a good chat... on work. haha~!! It was a long train ride back to bukit batok.. but luckily I had my ipod with me and we played games together...

I love you girls!
First of all, I will like to say a big THANK YOU for all my friends, who took the time to come and have dinner with me - making it an enjoyable hens night dinner :) I'm sorry to have given the drinks a miss, coz as you girls can see, I recently had pimples outbreak that's too huge to be missed. I'm currently on the detox menu.. so no alcohol.
I'm really surprised yesterday. I was only expecting Hil and HC to have dinner together.. but in the end the whole group was already at the restaurant, waiting for me to start. No wonder Hil was trying to stall for time when I said we should go to the restaurant to wait... Hil and I had a good time talking, and there's no silence in between the chats. We had a lot to catch up.. coz afterall, it's sooooooooooo long that we havent see each other.
At last we walked towards the restaurant in chijmes and upon reaching, the whole group of girls (HC, Haz, Rach, SL, SY, SC, Na, YY and PY) were already there and they were waiting for the 女主角- which is me, to be the last one to come. :) After that, they mentioned that it was Hil who organised this dinner event. So sweet! [Thanks Vi too... too bad that she was sick and couldnt come]
We had our dinner and chatted for a long long time. For dessert, I was presented a cake.. in a shape of a man's body.. with the you-know-where in a 3D format. Candles was pushed all the way in, and I had to get it out from there. It was a mild treatment for a "hen".. luckily there's no need for me to get boxers from other guys, kisses from strangers etc. Thanks girls for letting me off with just the cake. haha. I didnt bring camera with me... so I have to wait for Hil and Haz to upload/or sent to me.
No other words can describe my feeling.. I felt so blessed to have all of you as friends. I'm so happy. Thank you once again my dear friends. Now I understand, no matter how long we didnt meet each other, as long as the feeling is there, we will always friends. I love you girls!
05 October 2010
10 days and counting down...
I need to get the itinerary confirmed with dear, and then I need to start writing on the little speech I'm going to give on that night. Some other things to do too. -_- I'm so lazy.

More Gmart shopping
01 October 2010
G market
Been shopping online a lot lately. G market is really a nice place to shop. Minus off the intensive flashing of the pictures, that is. haha. My orders mostly came from Korea. Received the polariod films and the first batch of clothes I'd ordered. Quality not bad! I introduced the Gmart to some of my colleagues.. and they too, got addicted. haha!
Tmr's weekend! Time to relax! (and get some chores done) :)

An exciting month ahead
Dear's fallen sick yesterday.. I guess its from all those frequent flying that caused it. All he needs is a good rest i think. He's flying off again this weekend. =_=
Today's the last day of Aug... and coming up next I have several to-do list to clear. Will be choosing my wedding album layout this sat, and after confirming, we will be getting our album printed in 2 weeks time. Next, ZX's baby's full month and my nephew's 1 year old birthday bash. Food tasting for my hotel's banquet - and we arranged it on mum's bday.. LK's wedding dinner and last but not least, company retreat to batam! haha~ Exciting month ahead. :)
Not to forget, I really really have to get the confirmed guest list out. I'm sorry for being a slack bride-to-be!
27 August 2010
Friday post.
Probably too much stress that I got pimple outbreak as well. argh!!! Pimples go away! I want to be pretty on my wedding day!
Alright, as I was typing out this message, the Jap guy beside me passed me 2 logbooks and requested me to update them (cut & paste) when I'm free. I guess it's either he has been watching me pasting and updating logbooks diligently and hence wanted me to help him to do it, or he finds that i have a lot of free time. Extra work for me. I felt like I'm serving 2 supervisors instead of 1. Bleh.
25 August 2010
Have a goodnight rest~!
First of all, we had collected our wedding invitation cards. My friends and colleagues often asked me how many tables we will have, I could only answer - we will have a minimum tables of 25. This shows that we havent finalised the guest list yet! Hope to do so ASAP, so that I can start informing and distributing the wedding cards after the lunar 7th month.
Dear has been going on back-to-back business trips.. This is the 3rd week. He doesnt have the habit of calling or sms-ing me, regardless he's here physically or somewhere on the other side of the globe.. today I received an sms from him saying that he's in sydney currently and will be there the next few days... through that sms, somehow it made me feel better.. knowing that he's safe and sound, even though he is not near me.
I met up with Ting and Sen for dinner today, wearing my new pair of shoes.... it hurts like hell! That pair of shoes gave me a total of 7 blisters. I'm gonna stop wearing it for some time, until those blisters healed and when I have the courage to give the shoes another chance. Shoes need to be seasoned.
Ok dokie, that's all for now. Tata readers~!
08 August 2010
A date to remember
In addition, today marks the day where our GTI is sold. We drove back home from ZX's house, packed up the car and brought all those stuff back. Dear continued to pack his luggage, rest for a while and sent me back home.... the last journey back in that car. Goodbye GTI. I believe you will be in good care. :)
What's next? BMW!!!

Lunch treat, dinner treat.
Yesterday Nana, Vi and SC treated me to korean BBQ buffet for my birthday. Thank you dear friends! It was really nice to meet up with you guys and we talked about anything and everything. :) I missed those days when we worked together and have lunch almost everyday, together. thank you for taking leave in advance to be my jiemeis! hehee
Just now I met up with RJ, Gim and KS and they treated me to dinner. Thanks too! It seemed so long ago that the 4 of us met up... time flies when we were chatting, but then too bad that SOMEone needs to go back home and play lan game. -_-
Anyway, I think I need to send out SMSes to inform my friends on my wedding date. It's getting near now.. and I will only be getting the invitation cards by end of august~!

Eventful Thursday
After work, dear and I went to view a photographer's portfolio. He's a very nice guy. I think we are taking him, without the hassle of looking for another one. heh. We then went to Courts at Somerset and bought a rocking relax chair scheduled to be delivered to our house next monday. Then we went Takashimaya to get the birthday vouchers for myself - yes, company's birthday gift. I used the vouchers immediately to get the japanese door curtain I had been eyeing for (too expensive to get it without "subsidy" from company).. and what's more, there's an additional of 15% off! Haha!
Last stop for today - we went to Four seasons hotel to pick up our wedding cards. Time to source for printing service!
Time for me to go and sleep. Will be taking half day pm off tomorrow to relax, meet up with ting for dinner and then get ready to enjoy my birthday on Sat. :)

Seriously. F.
I just dont like dad keep asking me "is the insurance done yet" every S.I.N.G.L.E day he sees me. I'm like, texting the insurance agent everyday to rush her as well. I know the date of your road tax renewal, I did my part and she's not giving you what you want. Not my prob! All you need is patience!
I hate this shit that has landed on me.
If you guys start on something, end it. Dun make a phone call, start the hassle and just let others clean it up for you.

We went bowling today
Before reaching, my only wish was to break my own score of 70, where I left off last time with my company's bowling event. So, to my own surprise and luck, I had a score of 133! 4 spares and 1 strike! Haha. So happy. Here's the prove. I didnt amend the score.

20 June 2010
House renovation done.
First of all, our main door. We painted the door brown and the gate grey. Unlike the previous owner who likes vibrant colors - beige, blue and yellow.
Next, the living room. Blue painted cornice removed and L box was fixed up. A divider was up too. Not exactly for privacy, but for putting our future sofa there to extend the distance of the sofa to the TV.
Coming to the kitchen, their built-in were all hacked and black and white laminates were chosen. Empty space right in front is where our fridge currently located.
Common toilet. Nice wall tiles. Free mirror always look so cheapo. haha. So small!! But use first lah. We shifted the sink and moved the shower area to a corner... (which is not shown here)
Next is our master bedroom. Again, blue cornice removed, door painted brown and built in wardrode changed. We changed the lights as well! =)
Last but not least, our master toilet. Again, we shifted the shower to a corner, and a shower screen was built up to separate the wet and dry area.
Thats roughly what we did for the renovations. Probably more pics at the end of the month when our furniture is in~!
09 June 2010
Renovation completed
Next week our electronics and bed will be in, other furniture will be delivered to us in last week of June. :) when things are more or less done, I'll post up pictures!

Another update
- 3-seater sofa
- Shoe cabinet
- Dining table + 6 chairs
- TV console
- Coffee table
- 2 x 4-tier chest drawers
Today, we went audio house to buy our electronics. we spent 3.3K for the following items:
Original price should add up to around 5k .. but because we are using DBS credit card promotion - spend 2K in a single receipt will have $800 rebate... So we have 2 x 2K receipts and so we saved 1.6K in total! BUT there's a condition that we have to spend 18K within 12 months for the $800 rebate.. and hence, we have to spend 36K for 1.6K rebate.... understand? Haha. Well in case you might be wondering, how can I spend 36K within 12 months? Well, the answer to that is, we will be holding our wedding banquet this year! So we will hit the target. =)
So happy that many things are settled.. but those bills coming up will be tedious! Need to continue to save up!
23 May 2010
Thank you, Daddy!
Tmr (i think) dad will be going up again to change all the door knobs to handles, change the lock on the main door and gate, fix up the ventilator in the master toilet, and change the key of the letterbox.
Thanks Dad for having a part in fixing up my house. Sorry for asking you to do all those tough job. 辛苦了!

He's back... and he's flying again.
He went home, took a shower and off we went to pick up his shoes he left in the bridal studio 2 weeks ago, after our photoshoot. Then we went to Northwest to choose our laminate for our cupboard, the vanity top, and the interior layout of our wardrobe. After that, we went to our new house to see the progress and then we went westmall to see if the offer for lenovo pc for maxonline is still on. Too bad the offer is over. =( Lastly, we went west coast plaza to have Dian Xiao Er. =)
We sorta travelled a lot today.. I enjoy dear being back with me.. BUT he's flying to Taiwan for biz trip again tmr noon. He told me after his Taiwan trip (returning on next sat) he may have to fly off again.
SO... time for me to buy the season parking ticket for my house.... so that i can use the car as and when i like. :)
