Bb's birthday and proposal

2009-09-22T23:21:00.005+08:00

One year pass by so fast, another year has passed! To be honest, this year I don’t know what I should get for my dearest Bb.

I thought of a few options; a Bag, a checkered blouse, Durian cake from goodwood park.

I really wanted to get him the durian cake cause I thought that will be a big pleasant surprise for him. To confirm on whether my decision is okie, one day I ask Bb whether does he have any birthday wish…

Bb, ‘hmmm.. I wish for a durian cake! I missed the durian cake from goodwoodpark. I think it’ll be good that I could get a durian cake for my birthday.. teehee..’

Oh man.. I totally regretted it, I shouldn’t have asked.. my surprise is gone.

Anyway goodwoodpark only offered durian cake till end August, so my plan A failed.

After that, I decided to get a bag for him instead. He wanted to get a side bag for a long time, but he couldn’t find a suitable one. So I try to find a good bag for him for the next few days. And few days later Bb called;

Bb, ‘hey Bb, I went shopping just now and I bought a side bag! it’s quite nice and feels very durable.. .. ..’

Oh man.. why so qiao?! My second surprise is gone~! So I told him that I planned to get a bag for him as pressie. so I sponsored his bag.. teehee.. J

Bb said he want to have his birthday dinner at Billy Bombers @ Central.

On the actual birthday, Jacky said he planned to give him a BIG birthday present for Bb and he said he went in early to hide the present.

The people all came one after another, we sat at the outdoor section of the restaurant. I kept the cake with the staff.

The dinner goes on very smoothly. Nice food. nice weather.
And it’s birthday celebration time! A few of them passed Bb the presents. Lastly, Jacky went to get his well-hidden present.

Oh man, the present is HUGE~! It’s a BIG green box, the box is almost 1 metre by 1 metre in size. During that time, I thought, Bb is so lucky, able to have such a BIG present. I wonder what’s that.

One thing I feel strange that time is that how come there are a few cameras taking picture, 1 video camera. Then they ask me to stand beside Bb and all the rest crowd around the other corner of the room. I feel so awkward, it’s Bb’s birthday, so how come I standing beside him.

Bb tries to lift up the cover of the big green box. I go helped him. then when the cover lift up, I saw a big transparent balloon flew out of the box. Inside the transparent balloon, there are many heart shaped balloons in smaller size. I thought, ‘why Jacky wants to give him a heart shaped balloon? That’s so strange.’

Then after a while, Bb search the bottom of the box. He found a small bouquet of rose and ask me to help him hold.

Hmm.. wait wait.. this is getting strange.. how come Jacky will give Bb flowers??! And Bb seems to know what is inside the box before he opens it up.. hmm.

I can’t think of anything amiss..

The next moment, Bb searches the box again. and he found a smaller box. He stood in front of me. opens up the box…

‘will you marry me?’

*Stunned* *shocked*

Oh man.. Bb proposed to me!

So I’m the lucky one. The big green box is for me! Bb planned this for how long? A lot of thoughts came to my mind.

The rest are all cheering, sharing the joyous moment together with me. I feel like crying. I was touched. I thought I will cry like a pig, but things happened so fast and I crying feeling disappeared after a while.

Bb knelt in front of me, holding on my right hand, eager to hear my answer so that he can place the ring into my finger..

‘Yes…’ I said.

I was very overwhelmed by all of these and the surrounding is so hyped up. I think I answered the million dollar question too softly.

Totally regretted! I should have put on some make up~! ARGH! few days back just went for cycling trip and I felt so lazy to doll up myself for the bad skin condition I have. Oh man~! Owww…. I so regretted it, the video sure won’t look so nice.. sob..

Anyway I still love the whole day. oooooo.. still remember few years back still happily living single life.. and now, I’m engaged!!

To Bb:
Thanks for the BIG surprise!! Although it’s your birthday, you planned more things than me. I won’t forget this very special day. It’s so happy to have you in my life. thanks for being my best-est buddy! And so smart of you that you know that I won’t check on your organizer. LOL. Muack. I love you.

Overnight Prayer meeting

2009-09-18T01:17:00.000+08:00

It was ages ago since I last attended overnight prayer meeting.

When I was still a teenager, I can survive without sleep for more than 3 days. But right now, I need to have beauty sleep every night. So going overnight prayer meeting is really a huge stepping block for me.

The prayer meeting starts from 11pm to 3am. We reached the meeting at 12plus and the rest has already started praying.

Throughout the few hours, many times I was feeling very sleepy. Oooo… I wish I can have access to the bed right now..

But strangely, after my normal sleeping hours (ie. 1am) I felt much more awake.

Despite of the dozing off, I was very blessed by the prayer meeting. It’s been a long time since I last tarry in God’s presence till so late in the night.

After the prayer meeting, I felt such sense of accomplishment. Although I felt so tired, but I felt so clean, so peaceful and so happy. I want to go attend another overnight prayer meeting soonest!

Thank God for protection

2009-09-05T00:01:00.002+08:00

I forgot to thank God during CG testimony. Today Ryan offered to send Jen and I back to woodlands to have CG. On the way there, we almost met an accident on the expressway.

We were at the last lane, Jen was sitting in front and I was right behind her. According to Ryan, he saw a whole stretch of car stopped suddenly right in front of him. Although he always kept a reasonable distance with the car in front, this time the space in between is not enough to keep us safe.

I saw Ryan tried to stop his car, but the car still continue to move. If Ryan continue to stay on the lane, he will sure bang on the car in front. But at the very last mini second, he turn into the lane on the left. Usually I will put on the seat belt everytime I board the car (not just Ryan's car, but other cars too. It's for safety reason and is not because of the driver.. *Grin*) but I forgot to put on sit belt today.

When Ryan stepped onto the brakes, I literally flew towards Jen and I end up hugging the front seat.

Thank God there was no car at the next lane. If not the incoming car will sure hit Jen and I.

Everything happened within 5 secs. It was so fast and scary at the same time.

After that Ryan told us that he was so stressed just now cause he need to look at so many things at the same time, ie, the car in front, his car, his safety and Jen and my safety.. phew..

Thank God that we made it through..

To sort of celebrate our safety + calm nerves + fill the hungry stomach, we have dinner together at the coffeeshop below my block. hee.. Ryan tried the 'legendary' laksa + teh peng.. he said it's not really super fantastic. Jen and I shared the Chicken Chop.. Yum Yum~~~~~

After dinner.. we go for CG.. :P

What an exciting day~

uneffective gym sessions..

2009-08-26T01:20:00.001+08:00

I got a little confession to make. I just realized that my gym session was not very effective.

Erm, I lost 0.1kg, my muscle mass decrease from 39kg to 36 something kg and my fats increase from 13kg to 15kg.

My first reaction was, ‘are you kidding me? The machine must have spoilt. I feel much slimmer and lighter now, how can my fats increase??!?!’

Anyway I just received a call from California, they say they have a new machine that is able to let me know what is my body age. The new machine is also able to analyze what’s my weak point and I can train on my weak points first to make my training for effective.

Today I met molly for ‘supper’ at Causeway mac. We discussed about Pik Wei’s wedding invitation card. If need to get private company to print specially for the occasion, think it will cost a few hundred dollars. So Molly proposing to Pik Wei see whether can we buy readymade or see whether the restaurant is able to provide them with invitation cards.

Anyway Molly also told me about her course. I told her that I failed my strategy and till now I am still feeling unjustified and unhappy about it. she encourage me to re-appeal my module. Maybe I should try to get some big email addresses tomorrow. (since I have nothing to lose anyway.. just try..)

*cross fingers* hope that my re-appeal will get through this time.. :)

Punggol Sapphire - Finish foundations

2009-08-26T01:00:00.000+08:00

I was so excited to know that my future house progress was good. They are wrapping up the foundation works already..

Yeah.. now looking forward for the first floor to be up.. :P

Should I go SOT?

2009-08-26T00:13:00.000+08:00

Should I go SOT?

If I go SOT, I might need to give up my bonus.. which is a lot of money.

If I take part time, am I able to cope? Am I able to sustain myself?

What will my parents react if they found out?

If I don’t work or couldn’t find a job, I would need to deplete my savings.. but I’m supposed to save up for future.. how?

But if I don’t go SOT, I feel so weak. Not physically weak, but spiritually weak. I want to understand more of God’s word. I want to get trained for the better.. it will benefit me and the people around me.. and I believe the skills that I learn in SOT will also help me in my future career as I have learnt how to speak better with other pple.

How, How?!?!

Blessed Day meeting with customer

2009-08-17T23:16:00.001+08:00

Today at work I met one customer at their office. I reached their office at around 2:40pm. The appointment is supposed to be 2.30pm. I was late!

Their office has many floors, the floor that I went to does not have reception desk. And the access was only by security pass. I called the person’s mobile, I couldn’t get through. I was stuck at the lift lobby. After a few calls, decided to go to the reception upstairs. The reception could not get through him too.

After that, I went back to the original floor and called my colleague. Colleague told me that the customer has called our office and he is not happy that I’m late. In fact, he’s really really angry about it.

Oh man, I start to get worried. I need to get into the meeting room soon.

Just happened that there is one guy coming out from the office, I walked into their office. I spoke to more than 5 people inside, no one knows the person that I’m going to meet and they have no idea where their meeting room is. I was shocked.

Anyway, I walked one big round in their office, no one bothered about me. After that I managed to find the meeting room and there are 3 people sitting in the meeting room, the atmosphere was tense.

The first sentence I received from customer is, ‘am I meeting you at 2.30pm or 3pm??!’

Oh man, this is difficult. I told him I reached the office for quite some time and I couldn’t get through his phone. I went to the reception; they could not get through his phone either. After a while, another person from the meeting room also added that he couldn’t contact him at all. There was 10 seconds of awkward silence.

Anyway, to the main discussion, I gave them some figures for his review. He asked me to show him exactly how to calculate. Oh man, how to calculate this six digit figure when the main person who calculated this was not me?! Thank God I brought my calculator with me. I was being thrown with many charts and figures that customer has tabulated. Based on the information from their end, they could not get the figure that I have given them and they want to know how my side derived with the final figure.

I tried to stay calm but my heart start to worry. I called my colleague and see whether my colleague can help me on this but the help wasn’t much. I repeated the calculation more than 10times and I could not get the information right.

Towards the end of the meeting, I finally got a figure that is close to the one given by my colleague. Finally I feel the atmosphere was not so tense anymore. I assured customer that I will give him detailed information to him after I get back office. The meeting lasted about 50mins.

Just before I leave the meeting room, the customer commented that he was not aware that his phone was not functioning properly just now and he apologized for keeping me waiting outside their office for so long just now! I felt relief, humbled and happy at the same time. Finally I saw his face with a smile and offered to exchange name card with me. (Just now when I was in the meeting room, the atmosphere was so tense and I don’t dare to delay the discussion by exchanging the name card)

After the meeting, the customer escort me to the door and gave me a smile again as I walked through the door. When I go downstairs, I looked at his name card again; I realized that he’s one of the very important people in the company.

Through this meeting, I know that for these past two years, I have grown. I know that if I attend such meeting two years ago, I will most probably felt so stressed about it and might just broke down into tears. I thank God that I am able to handle this and went through the rest of the meeting smoothly. I think if it’s not because of the phone issue, the meeting will not end up happy cause I was actually late for 10mins.

First CG offering message after a long break

2009-08-08T00:03:00.000+08:00

It’s been a long time since I shared offering message in CG again.

I spent Thursday to prepare the message on Gen 26:1. Everything seems okay. But wait till Friday before CG start, I start to feel panicky.

I told myself I got to be bold; I got to say with conviction. But during the actual, I think I screw up all the way. I don’t like that defeated feeling.

I feel myself so not competent. I am willing to do more things for God. But with my current skills and abilities, how am I able to lead a CG?

Don’t know whether should I go SOT or not.. thinking thinking..

Squirrel Story...

2009-08-06T23:02:00.000+08:00

Why squirrel lied to me? Am I not the one being its friend, shared food from the same table, enjoyed many joyous moments together? I have given Squirrel many chances to tell me, even see whether it want to invite me to go and play in the forest. Squirrel wants to return to forest can just let me know. It is big enough to go ahead and no need anyone’s protection. If squirrel feels that going back to forest is nothing wrong, why it need to hide from me? Am I not its friend anymore?

sian.....

2009-07-30T22:14:00.000+08:00

Oh man, I know this thing will look so small when I look back in future. But now, this thing is a BIG issue for me.

Jen and I took on operation role for the next 2 months (hopefully is either 2 months or less). Last few days been going to various training sessions. I learnt a lot of things about SAP operation. Description: tedious and a lot of steps

One tenant account opening would need at least 30mins for me to key in all the info. Imagine if a building has few hundred tenants, how long would it take?

Today I wanted to finish account opening for one building, total 9 tenants. Till 7.30pm, I only managed to do 2. Because when I do half way, many people, both internal and external ask me do a lot of things. Tenant wants account opening/termination by today. So need to arrange for the asap date. Got one tenant even scolded me for it. Funny thing is one landlord even don’t know our known-for-long-time procedures!

Then today Jen on MC, then I need to cover for her. I’m okie with that. But internal staff keep ask me do her things which is not so urgent. On my hands I already have TONS of things to do. Some people sent an email already then walk over, saying things like, ‘oh just want to walk over and let you know verbally that it’s a lot of things to do.’ When I say she’s not around, then they roll eyes. Do I need to see your attitude?

Then got one obviously not very urgent cause the other party sure takes long time. The person sort of forces me to send the email over to the other party to take action. Reason being it will affect the billing for the whole building.

How could I finish my stuff when the whole world keeps chasing me for things?!?!?!?

Landlord also calls me and asks me for updates. I have no time to call for en-bloc at all, so now I need to pacify him. I sort of got a scolding from him and chase me die die I must give him an update by tomorrow.

I was feeling so overwhelmed by all the work that’s on my table. It’s been weeks since I last saw a nice, clean table. Feeling so demoralized, feeling so stressed, feeling like throwing in the towel. Feel like just throw everything on the table, take my bag and leave.

I know in my heart that with time, I can do operation things faster. But now, I was feeling quite stress out. My progress is much slower than what I expected. Things are piling up.

I finally broke down during lunch time. I have no appetite to eat at all, so many things to do. Decided to skip lunch and try to do operation issues. E walked over asks me whether I am okay and whether do I want to go for lunch. All the suppressed unhappiness all come up at the same time, I couldn’t take it anymore. Tears start to ooze out from my eyes. I throw my headset and ran to the toilet. I know E they all are very shocked to see me like this. I was shocked myself too. I washed my face, after a while I go back, they are still there. E said DGM will talk to me later.

Anyway after lunch, E bring me go staff lounge to talk to me. I cried again. I told her there are too many things for me to do. I told her although she said we can ask KAM to help out when things get overloaded, but how to ask boss to help you clear your stuff? I told her I find it’s difficult for me to do so. I sort of complained about D that he sometimes will pass LL staff to me.

After that E told D about it. D of course walked over. First time he look at me and really look concerned. Nvm lah. Think he still need time to learn.

Anyway, I worked till 7.30pm, DGM spoke to me. she said they are arranging for replacement asap. Trying to see whether temp is able to help. But they would need sometime to pick up.

Hai~ anyway, I keep trying my very best to encourage myself. Not sure whether this self encouragement can last for how long…

2 Year Bond

2009-07-21T20:30:00.000+08:00

Not sure whether I want to get the education grant. I calculated, the total school fees paid is about $13,000. Then earlier I have already spent my flexible benefit to claim school fees.

So effectively, I am only able to claim $11,000 should the grant approve. Is it worth it to bond myself for 2 years just for $11,000?

hmmm.. think I don't wanna get the claim liao lah.. give myself some flexibility.. :P

Random Tots

2009-07-17T00:37:00.002+08:00

What will the future be? Suddenly felt that human are really so full of flaws. So many mistakes, so many things that we could do better, so many of us are so fixed to our old ways and keep on doing it. Why we can’t just learn from mistakes and move on? Why people would keep doing something that is so unbalanced? Why people would still keep on repeating the same mistakes and act as if nothing has happened? Why people can learn to be so fake? I wonder who taught us to be so.

Why it is so difficult to change? When would things get better?
I feel so irritated. I want to change. Fast.

sick bug.. attack~!!!

2009-07-16T00:37:00.001+08:00

These few days been not feeling well. Felt like puking and headache. Not sure what’s wrong with me. Went to the doctor yesterday but the medicine has no effect on me. It’s not a full blown sickness, and I don’t like this feeling. Help~!

Bridal Package

2009-07-12T00:34:00.002+08:00

Morning Bb went service together with me. We had lunch at Subway. After that, we went to his house to put down his stuff before we head out again.

We wanted to take a look at the bridal packages. We have no intention to buy at all. We just want to see and compare which package is good.

We went to marina square. As promised by Bb, he treat me watch Ice Age 3. Hooray!~ after that, we walked over to the portion that has some bridal shops.

The first shop we went is Golden Horse Awards. I don’t like that sales staff, she keep talking nonsense staff which I am not interested at all. She said things like what are they going to have, what other customers did, etc. we asked her whether does she have any AD packages, she was not helpful at all and she said the only option we have is ala-carte.

We left shortly after of course. When we are out of the shop for less than 10 secs, another guy from neighboring shop approached us. That guy and the sales staff inside the shop keep commenting Bb have very young face (sound like I have old face and they don’t dare to say anything.. bleah)

We were at the shop for more than 3 hours, the sales staff tried his best to psycho us to buy the packages. He gave a lot of freebies and additional services. After that, I tried on the gown for fun. When I first walked out, I felt so nervous cause everyone was staring at me. Bb said the shop was very noisy at first, when I walked out; all of them went silent and looked at me. *blush*

The second time I tried, the attention was not so great cause two other brides-to-me are also outside showing off their gown to their friends and family.

Anyway, we bought the package. Bb saw on online forum, the service provided by this bridal shop was good so far.

After that, we went to watch Ice Age 3 (3D). I love the movie! However the 3D effects are not a lot though.

sick sick me..

2009-07-11T00:34:00.001+08:00

Owww.. I’m sick. I missed service today. Sian. Feeling feverish, tired, muscle ache, flu.

Oh God, I want healing soon~~~

2 year and 3rd month anniversary

2009-07-08T00:32:00.001+08:00

Today is our 2 year and 3rd month anniversary. I want to get something nice for Bb as anniversary present.

During lunch time, I went to Robinsons and Centrepoint to see whether I can find anything that Bb can use. I bought 1 bottle of Vitamin C, 2 boxes of briefs. I wrapped separately into 3 items.

Recently Bb has been super busy with his work. He needs to stay back for OT almost every single day. So I decided to drop by his workplace to pass him these 3 surprises and hope that I can cheer him up despite of the pile of work he has to do.

However, he said he’s free to meet me. So I decided to pass him the surprises when I about to head for home.

We went to Tampines 1 Kim Gary eat. Among so many HK style restaurants in Singapore, I find that Kim Gary has the best Hong Kong taste.

After dinner, Bb spotted the bag that I was holding. He wanted to look at it and I told him it’s a secret and he was not allowed to see. As usual, this aroused his curiosity. Many times he almost snatched it away from me!

After a while, he grew tired of it and said we not supposed to have secrets between us. I felt so guilty and I decided to pass him the bag way before my planned time.

Bb sends me home today. On the bus, he has his gift opening ceremony. It’s so fun to see Bb so excited about the present. When Bb saw the briefs, he got so excited and raised the box up and wanted to let everyone on the bus to share his joy. I think he has the guts to do it because we sat at the last row of the bus. bleah. No one will see it anyway. But he’s so cute!!!

Econs assignment

2009-07-05T00:32:00.002+08:00

We have to complete a 3000words assignment by today! Oh man~~ how to finish everything within one day?

Bb borrowed laptop from his brother. Bb concentrated to do his learning journal while I concentrated to do the main assignment. Thank God Bb managed to find another friend to give him some pointers for the main assignment, if not I sure couldn’t finish.

We worked the whole day till 3am, I went to sleep. Then Bb worked till 6.30am and just in time to wake me up to go work while he takes a short nap.

Hopefully Bb will do well in his assignment and final exams! All the best~

Psst. Bb promised me to treat me watch Ice Age 3 as reward for my hard work. Hee.. Looking forward to it.

Sweet Sweet Bb

2009-07-04T23:45:00.001+08:00

Bb is so sweet. After service, we made our way to his home. Tomorrow is going to be a long day because we need to complete his econs assignment together.

While waiting for train, Bb suddenly got so excited and wants me to hear something. So he took out his PSP and headset.

1st song is something like there’s a person that was so caring and loved the singer. The person was so good that it’s just like an angel that has stepped into the singer’s life.

2nd song was sung by Phua Chu Kang, I think is one of the songs in the musical. PCK sang this song to his wife.

When I’m listening to the songs, Bb mimic and as if he’s the one singing it.

I not sure why, I cried, in the train!

I was feeling very touched by Bb’s action. Although it’s only some simple songs, but can see that Bb meant from his heart. And I didn’t know that I really meant so much to him, and I also didn’t know that his life was so good when I stepped into his life.

These 2 years, there are many happy moments. And there are times that I also made Bb angry, worried, anxious, sad, etc etc. so many things has happened. To me, I know I can do more and his girlfriend. I could be more loving, more caring, more understanding, etc. I didn’t know I still meant so much to Bb all these while. I feel honored and humbled at the same time.

I’m thankful to have Bb in my life too~

Unforgettable Valentine

2009-02-16T22:50:00.010+08:00

I totally enjoyed this year’s Valentine’s Day.

Past few days I’ve been cracking my head to think of what to get for Bb. I finally decided to make cookies for him. This is the first time I made cookies. Due to time constraints, I don’t have time to do second time. So it’s a make it or die issue.

Luckily mum knows how to bake cookies; I got a lot of help from her.

The cookies turn out better than expected.

After CG, went to Bb’s house to celebrate Valentine’s Day. Bb’s Dad brought us out for supper. After that we went to an overhead bridge near his place to have the gift exchange. To my surprise, Bb gave me cookies too~! So qiao!!! Great mind thinks alike. Hee.. Besides cookies, Bb also bought me a super duper cute teddy bear. Bb is so detailed; he even made an effort to pick up needle to fix the pose of the bear. The bear was 100times cuter when it made that pose. On the bear’s left ear, there’s a small note for me. Although it’s not a lot of words, but it’s very heartwarming and I felt like crying. I‘m very very happy and I loved the presents very much. I brought my V Day gifts to office today. I placed the bear with the special pose right beside my computer. Hee..

CG going to gather and have dinner together. But CG have alot of kids around, so we will have budget constraints if we were to eat outside.. so we decided to all come and have steamboat together at my house..

each person only paid $5.. it's a super tight budget.. but i believe i can do it!!!

Took a half day leave to go and buy ingredients.. at the super market, i told myself i gonna be an auntie for an hour.. to make sure we keep to the budget and can make all the members feel super full and satisfied..

Thank God for mum and some CG members to help to buy groceries together with me.. THANKS!!!

After that is the preparation.. Adrian quickly took the initiative and helped to wash and cut and marinate all the ingredients.. wow.. he was super good!!!

The preparation stage was super tough man! didn't know it's so difficult even for steamboat where everyone can cook for themselves..

And we realized this is the only time that we start an event on time.. before 7pm, almost all the people are here and we started eating.. and there are some members that brought friends to join the steamboat.. so the actual attendance was higher than the forecasted figure..

the power of food is unbelievable!

just to highlight.. the guy in blue apron is adrian.. he was the superstar for tonight's steamboat!

okay fine.. i think i couldn't take a decent pic today.. anyway.. despite the higher number of people came.. we still managed to keep our budget and there are lots of leftovers!!

Super full.. i feel so fat and satisfied now.. heee..

Dinner at Thai Cafe

2009-01-08T23:05:00.004+08:00

After the Thailand trip, we still have some craving for Thai food.

Just happened that Bb and I pass by a Thai cafe near Sunshine plaza, we decided to have dinner there. We ordered Tom Yum Soup! We just realized that we did not have any Tom Yum soup at Thailand. lol. The soup was nice~ but it's super hot... And we ordered this thai style stir fried pork. It was spicy and with a tint of sour.. This is what I ordered, Phat Thai. It's tasty but I still prefer the Phat Thai at ThaiExpress though.. The clear soup that comes together with the Phat Thai. And lastly, desserts!! it only cost 1 dollar for each side dish for every meal ordered.

Steam tapioca.. yummy.. the portion was just right and the coconut was not too sweet. Mango rice.. the mango was super sweet. rice not too much too. but the fridge is too cold lah.. some part of the mango was too ripe..

over all, it was a very good experience.

Thailand Trip 2009 Day 4

2009-01-05T23:15:00.007+08:00

Today is leaving day.. last nite we went to 7-eleven to buy our breakfast. We have soya milk, bread, and canned tuna..

when we open up the can, we realized we don't have spoon!

Bb thought of folding the straw into half, and make it into a 'spoon'. Bb has saved us from the disgusting fate of scooping the tuna with our hands! Hail Bb~~!

After the breakfast, we wait for Valor and Jia Hui to check out.. we took quite a few pics at the lobby.. :)

Roar~!!!

Yeah.. I got my wish~! It's a pink TAXI~~~~

More pics at the air port.. I like the new Thailand Airport, it's so clean and BIG~

No idea why Bb like to take pic to let me know how short I am.. bleah

Irritating Bb, keep moving his head while I taking pics..

Heee.. trying to mimic the pic behind.. :)

I think we walked too slow.. it's the final call already. I think we are the last group of passengers.. hee.. Still want to take a pic of the gate before we say good bye to thailand..

some pics before flying off...~

Thailand Trip 2009 Day 1

2009-01-05T14:29:00.011+08:00

We are flying soon~~~~ We are going together with Valor and Jia Hui.... :P it's gonna be a super FUN time together~

we are taking budget airline... waiting to get on the plane.. we secretly took a pic of the plane.. heee..

the seat are small, cramp.. no food.. no drinks.. for about 2 hours..

...

we are in THAILAND!!!

2 Years after the 1st Thailand trip, we are back again.

The first thailand trip was full of love and surprises. That's where we found out that Bb and I like one another...

During the second trip, we are back at the same hotel, but it was a totally different feeling.

Valor and Jia hui helped to arrange for the check in procedures. Bb and I walkedo a part of the hotel and we took a picture.. same place like 2 years ago..

Thailand, year 2007, Asia Hotel

Thailand, year 2009 Asia HotelBb still remembered years ago he wore the green colour T-Shirt during his first day of thailand trip.. i think he deliberately wore the same green tee again..

This is our hotel room.. still looks the same as 2 years ago.. lol.. me with my camera.. i LOVE this mirror.. makes me look so slim~~~ :P

No time to waste! we got to do LOTS of SHOPPING~!!!!

We went to our favourite coffeeshop to eat something.. thank God for Valor.. without him, we could never order our food.. the menu is all in thai.. and i don't think the people working there understands english..

although the coffeeshop looks ordinary.. but the food they serve is HEAVENLY~~~

Ice Tea.. it's just perfect for a hot day...

Bb's Favourite.. Stir-fried pork with basil.. he missed the pork basil after the first trip..

after the meal.. we took a train to our shopping area~

erm.. alot of random pics~~~

oh ya~ one of the highlight of our trip.. massage~!!!

Ella passed me a namecard, told me that there's a super good + affordable massage place.. so Bb and I decided to look for the shop..

that particular area mainly serves Japanese customers, there are lots of japanese pubs and restaurants along the road. and one the restaurant i saw a native japanese wore the traditional costume.. I felt like I have just stepped into Japan.. It's time to brush up my Japanese..

we walked for about 10-15mins.. we found the massage place..

the staff are super friendly, they literally treat you like royalty. they serve soothing hot tea.. super friendly service.. before they ask us to go into the main massage room, they brought us to an area to wash our feet... this is the first time got someone washes my feet. i felt so uneasy..

a lady brought us to a room.. Bb and I will have an exclusive room for the massage session..

I love the flower lightings there at the room..

The massage only less than SGD$20.. super affordable..

after the massage.. wah... felt super relaxed and pampered.. felt like going for another time..

we went back to hotel and take a pic of our prize for the day.. although it's first day, but it was super fruitful.. i got a super good shopping buddy with me.. all thanks to Bb!

We went downstairs to have our favourite supper.. beef glass noodle and fried oyster egg.. :)

Thanksgiving CG 08

2008-12-28T00:51:00.004+08:00

Time flies~~ another year is coming to an end soon.. as usual, after Christmas Cg will organize a thanksgiving party..

a few of us would need to come out with a series of awards.. and there will be a mini prize-giving ceremony..

so we made trips to places like IKEA to find the items that is good and within budget..

while shopping, Bb found this string of blue beads.. and we wore it like a necklace! faint. he's so cute.. good thing is that he doesn't look girly on necklaces.. hahahahahaha..

some random pics with Jen and Kenneth at the bus stop near my house.. oh.. isn't kenneth cute? heeeon the actual day, we gave out the mini prizes to the members.. here are some of the winners:

Kaili

Min KuanTiong KunJen and i got one too. Kinda weird to receive the prize and you made it yourself.. anyway.. here's Jacky, Dominic, Valor and me! Here's Valor again giving annoucements.. I love my CG~

Outing with Bb on Christmas Day

2008-12-25T22:49:00.006+08:00

Today is Christmas Day.. Bb and I went to Marina Square. Wanted to treat ourselves a nice dinner to reward us of all the hardwork done in year 2008..

erm.. I think it's just another excuse to sludge on food. No wonder I'm getting fatter and fatter . (pls don't agree with me~!!)

We went to one Jap restaurant..(suddenly got mental block! oh man.. only remember the shop name is 'something-sabo'.. )... it's a restaurant that is famous for their ice creams..

ROAR~ I hate mental blocks.. irritating.. anyway.. their price range for set meal is around $18-$25.

I ordered this stir-fried beef cubes with special-flavoured rice.

I like the beef. It's quite tender and juicy. But it's not the best beef cubes that I've eaten.

Bb ordered this Beef Kaminabe.. I like the freshly cooked beef dipped with the raw egg. ooooooo.... heavenly.. hee..
Desserts time!!!!!

I totally agree with the statement, 'woman have separate compartment for desserts'. I was quite full after the main dish.. but we still can have room to finish up the desserts..

I like the ice-cream with red bean combination. I heard from Ella that eat more red bean will have good luck.. hahaa.. eat more will have better luck for 2009!

It's surprising pleasant to mix watermelon with soft ice cream. maybe next time I should try again at home~! hahahahahaha..

Think the dinner spent about $50.. Can't afford to eat too frequently man! But it's always good to indulge once in a while~

2008-12-24T12:01:00.005+08:00

2008-12-14T22:57:00.007+08:00

This year it's something different for our Christmas celebration. all thanks for E13 to come out of this brilliant idea.

This year's theme is 'Fashion Fallout'. all of us need to dress sylish outfits but the choice of clothes will need to make you look a little strange. for me.. I pull out all pui's clothes and i made a super strange combination.. hee .. later you will see a picture of me..

D&D 2008 - Where Dreams Take Flight

2008-12-12T23:39:00.004+08:00

This year, I was being 'appointed' to be in the committee for D&D. erm.. Although I need to spend time in the planning, but the process was fun! I learnt alot of my colleagues during planning stage. We will have to invite the events company to come and present, we have to negotiate the packages and the price. And finally would need to be presenting to the CEO.

The Theme we have chosen is 'Where Dreams Take Flight'. The setting will be we are in a plane, going to different places of the world while we have our dinner.

Since its an airplane, there has to be air stewardess around. Since I'm one of the committee member, I was being 'appointed' again to be one.

Then we 'appointed' another new girl from finance - Karen, to be another air stewardess.

If the D&D is not around, don't think I will ever have a chance to be an air stewardess..
Although can't make it as a career, but it's still fun to act like one just for a night.. hee..

the costumes are provided by the events company.

Tadah~~~

The committee members will have a room on that day. So we change to our costume when we reached the Hotel. Here's me with Celestine and Karen..

Celestine look so cute with the Japanese Costume and Karen is soooooooooooo slim... towards to evening, the guests are moving in slowly. Here's Ariel and her friend. Actually both of them look so alike. I thought they are sisters.. :P

Here's Desmond, Ariel's friend, Ariel, me and Bb~ Yeah.. Bb and me..

The event got started. erm. air stewardess is supposed to be on stage to demo on the life jacket. I was the girl on the left.

I think my bun was too big, then my head can't get through the life jacket. That point of time start to panick cause I was on stage! Took some time to get the life jacket on.

phew.. finally it's done... actually the one in grey is also one of the committee member, we inform the MC earlier to arrow him on stage.. opps!

the rest of the life jacket demo runs on smoothly..

by the time i'm back at the table, the food has been served. Bb left some food for me.. :)

Didn't managed to take all the food pictures.. but one thing I realized is that the food standard has dropped alot comparing between the Actual day and during food tasting..

here's shark's fin soup.. oh.. don't know how many sharks are killed because of this. But since they have ordered, so just enjoy lah~~ it taste super good.. :)

After the event, we took more pictures... :) here's Grace and her bf..
Celestine and Talia!

Talia looks so hot with the purple japanese costume. MC saw her during the event and keep disturbing her..

Here's me, Celestine, Ella, Stacy and Min-e. The guy sitting on the couch is Ryan, think he drank too much for the night.. hee.. Finally the event's over.. Bb and I stroll from Shangri-La to orchard and take night rider back home.. The lightings are so cute, we decided to take some pics before we head home..

Yeah~ Enjoyed today

Dinner with Bb at NYDC

2008-12-10T00:30:00.000+08:00

Bb did something very special today. Bb brought me a choc.. you can see the picture here:

this is not a normal choc k? it's Godiva choc! Erm.. but to me, the most amazing part is that Bb found a little container to put in this little choc and carry with him for a few hours till he met me.

Oh man.. I'm so touched.. sob.. so I decided to take a pic of the choc in memories of the cute act that Bb has done.

Today had dinner at NYDC.. erm.. as usual.. here are the pictures of the food that we have eaten!

Super big drink.. it's ice latte..

My fav! Baked pasta... I like the tint of sweetness in the pasta.. it's creamy.. it's.... yummy!~

CG Chalet

2008-12-02T13:55:00.010+08:00

Yeah~ CG Chalet!

I’m so looking forward for this day. hee…

Day 1 - 30 Nov

Went to Bb house to help him carry the stuff to the chalet. As we are running late, we took a cab to the chalet. This year, the chalet is at Sentosa coasta sands. When we reached, the girls are sitting on the bed playing PSP. Hahaha.. The first event is telematch. Cg is divided into 3 groups and there’s 3 sections to the game. I’m in charge of one of the section.

After the games, we took a rest and we prepare for the BBQ. To our horror, BBQ not enough food!!! OMG. We shared whatever we have and still not enough sia.. still hungry.. sob. Many went home by then. After that towards midnight we walk over to tram station to buy some food to eat. We each got a cup of instant noodle and we sat in front of Coffee Bean to eat.

We didn’t know Lionel is so random! We are all amazed by his randomness sia~ we literally laugh till tummyache. Super enjoyed my time there… hahahaha…

Day 2 – 1 Dec

Day 2~! Highlight is Graffiti competition. Bb and I brought a lot of spray paints, cardboard, etc. we carry our barang barang to the BBQ area and we divided ourselves into 4 teams. Hee.. initially we are supposed to come up with two paintings. But due to time constraints, my group and Xiu Wen group only concentrate on one.

Pics of the discussion...

I didn’t know we’re soooooooooooooooooooooooooooo talented!! Hahahahaha.. (oh no.. shouldn’t be so proud hor… hahahaha)

The pictures are proof! Can you believe we use spray paint to do it?? hahahaha..

Bb and Xiao Ping’s
They so li hai lah… the painting look like it’s a photo. I’m super duper amazed by Bb’s skill. Didn’t know Bb got a flair in spray painting.. hahaha… admire him more now.. hahahaha… *blush* Isabel and mine
We wanted to paint another picture with the sun, sea and sand.. but the colour we need ran out. so we didn’t managed to complete. But the picture we thought of is quite similar to Bb’s version… he copied me!
Xiu Wen and Lionel’s
Xiu Wen said this graffiti is adapted from Lionel’s mind. Those red leaf are Lionel’s version of maple leaf.. hahaha.. he’s so cute lah.

Tiong Kun and Verlin’s
Their theme is heaven and hell. so emo theme sia….

No winner or loser lah… but we enjoyed ourselves painting and let our fingers all covered with paint. Haha..

Evening we met up with Valor to have dinner at foodcourt. Finally a decent meal after so many days..

After the dinner, we went back to play at swimming pool. After that we wash up and we play Bang! That game’s interesting. But not enough people sia, very easy to guess our role. But I managed to bluff a few times on my role~ yeah.. I’m good at bluffing!

Day 3
We all are so tired during the 3rd day. we played Bang! till so late last night. We woke up at around 11pm.

Verdict: Coasta Sands sentosa is sooooooooooooooooooooooooo small! Faint. It’s smaller than a hotel room! Not much food facilities nearby. If you don’t have enough food, good luck to you. And also cannot call for mac delivery sia, they don’t deliver. Sob. But I love the sand, the sea and the sun! it’s my first time going Sentosa chalet, erm.. I don’t mind going again but there are better options available.

I love Kampong Chicken

2008-11-26T13:52:00.004+08:00

Few days ago Bb told me there is a stall that sells very good kampong chicken.

Today we went to walk around Bugis area and suddenly Bb said he wanna bring me to a special place to eat.. he was so secretive when we are walking towards the stall..

yeah.. Bb brought me to the stall. we order half chicken and side dish. hee.. Yummy. It’s nice. don't envy me.. heee.. the tofu look so good partly also because of the photographer.. i got skill de okay??!?!?

ta dah.. the long-awaited kampong chicken! Hee.. Bb's full of surprises... :)

2008-11-16T23:11:00.002+08:00

This is the second year celebrating Bb's mum birthday with Bb's family. this year, we went to one of the Teo Chew restaurant at Bedok to have dinner together.. the food there is quite nice.. think the price is quite affordable too (not sure e exact price.. i just go there eat for free~)

Bb's mum making a wish~~~~ Really envied Bb's parents, they are still so loving after married for so many years.. I wanna to have a relationship like this too! :) I love Bb!

Tennis Game with Colleague

2008-11-04T21:54:00.006+08:00

All thanks to Ryan~ we managed to have our first Tennis Game together!

After work Jen and I took Ryan's car to go to Bukit Batok. The tennis court is very near Thomas's house.

When we reached Bukit Batok area, we saw David's car in front of us. Since we not very sure how to go to the court, we decided to follow David's car.

After a while we find that we seems to be getting further and further away from our destination.

We over took David and we found that David was lost too!!! He was leading forward, looking left and right and two hands on the sterring wheel . OMG~~ Faint.

We drove one big round to go back to Bukit Batok area and we managed to find the Tennis court.

When we saw the court, to our horror, it was super duper dirty. OMG. Fallen leaves everywhere and there are puddles of water too.Ryan is a big fan for tennis. He has a lot of Racquets and other tennis equipments.

The game was super fun and we played from 8plus till 10plus.. hee..

I hit many balls out of the court.. oppps.. Perhaps I have talent in playing baseball. :P

Need to keep troubling Ryan to go out of the court and pick all the balls back. Sorry Sorry. Anyway Jennifer worse than me. hahahahahahahaha..

Took a few random Pics after the game.

Here's David:This is Ryan:

The Court was so dirty and after that he threw all his balls away.

Here's Jen:

And this is me:

erm... after that Thomas and David are so high and they took alot of shocking photos!

OMG~~ Acting cute~~~

Grr... Ryan keep moving around and I couldn't take a clear picture of him that day. ROAR~~

Nvm.. I had great fun that day.. heee..

Lunch @ Botak Jones

2008-11-04T00:02:00.004+08:00

New outlet at Somerset! I have heard about Botak Jones a long time ago. So we decided to try out the food there. We went out of office at 12 sharp. We ordered our food. The waiting time is about 20mins! The wait was quite long to think that we're the first few who arrived.

This is my food! It look toooooo delicious! hahahaha.. makes me drool now.

This is chicken also, but with a different sauce.

Tadah.. the burger.All the portion is quite big, but I heard is not as big enough with other branches. I heard the outlet at Clementi is super big. Next time can consider go there try. :D

Eddie Wedding

2008-10-27T22:07:00.004+08:00

After the outing at HortPark, we went home and get changed and met at Orchard MRT.

The wedding dinner is at Regent's Hotel. Took a bus to the place.

We saw the bridegroom! He's in all white. Congrats Eddie again!

Since we reached the place early, we walked around at the Hotel and took some pictures.. hee.. The lighting there is quite dim, so can't take any clear and nice pics...

Eddie combined the matrimony with the dinner.

We sat with Bb's guitar classmates.

Oh ya, this was the doorgift. It's so cute!

Outing at HortPark

2008-10-27T21:59:00.004+08:00

Since today is Deepavali, a public holiday, Dad say he want to go take a walk at HortPark. He heard about the tree top walk over there and wants to go take a look.

Meet Bb at Harbourfront, we ate lunch and we took a bus to go Alexandra Road.

HortPark is so beautiful~! No wonder so many couples want to take wedding pictures over there...

The Tree top walk starts from Alexandra Road and go to Mt Faber and back to Harbourfront. It's about a few km. It looks really far from the map~

It was very fun to see from a tree top view.

Bad thing is that they don't have much vending machines to sell drinks. The weather was hot and there's no bottle drinks around. Anyway, one of the highlight is a big overhead bridge. We took a new pictures on the bridge.

We took about 1 and a half hours to walk to Vivocity. We took some snacks and met up with Pui. After that Bb and I need to rush home, cause need to go and attend a wedding dinner at night.

Talia's Birthday

2008-10-07T15:38:00.003+08:00

Lunch at Simei

2008-10-05T13:03:00.002+08:00

Took lunch with Bb. heee.. we went to a coffeeshop near SiMei MRT. There's a stall that sells Pasta and Pizza.

Bb and I ordered a dish each. It look quite 'harmless' but both of us cannot finish our food!

I like my pasta, they are very generous with their ingredients, with the cheese, the mushroom, etc. oh.. thinking about it makes me drool again. But after a few bites, I feel abit sick on the cheese.

Overall I rate 80marks on the food. :) it's good to try again.

Curry Fishhead stared at me! So I took revenge

2008-09-25T23:23:00.001+08:00

It's been a long time since we talked about coming to Casurina Curry and try out the food here.

Tadah~ Here we are during lunch time......

We ordered a Curry Fishhead ($20 bucks with 4 rice), drinks and some ordered Prata.

Ariel's Milo Dinosaur look sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo sinful lah.... faint. hahahahaha... Courteousy of Ariel, took a picture of 4 hungry ladies waiting for our food..

Tadah~~~ here's the main course~~~ I loved the curry fishhead!!! especially the curry.. heee... It's thick, not so spicy. ooooooohh... nice.

Anyway they just realized that I'm a fishhead expert. I conduct a fishhead cutting session for them. They are so amazed that I can eat the whole head and left with pieces of bones. hahaha..

I loved the fish eyes.. it's big, fresh and it taste good!!!!

Ariel seems to like to look at me eating eyes.. anyway.. bad thing about the curry fish head is that it's full of fish scale!!! took alot of trouble to take out 4 to 5 pieces of fish scale every mouth.

Total I spent about $5 for the meal.

Can consider to try again. heee...

Clumsy Me

2008-09-15T22:44:00.005+08:00

Today after work went to school as usual. Today's class is at Ngee Ann Poly Blk 50. It's so far away and the facilities all so old. I dread to go there.

Anyway the class was boring, as usual.

Finally pulled through till short break. I went toilet with some of my classmates.

Nobody wants to go to the cubicle that is squart one. So I 'sacrifice' and went that one. When I took a big step up towards the toilet bowl, I lost balanced and my left hand scratched onto the jaw of the toilet paper dispenser.

'Ouch!!!!' I screamed at the top of my voice. It was so high pitched that even myself couldn't hear it. heee....

Anyway I bear with the pain and sit through till the end of the class. It was very painful. I took a cab back home cause I was afraid someone will just knock onto my hand when I take public transport back.

I took this picture when I got home. It was all swollen and bleeding. Can still see the scratch marks. Owwwww.... my hand got scar already. sob. Can't be air stewardess liao.

I Cook Dinner Day 2

2008-09-11T23:01:00.002+08:00

AGAIN!!!! OMG~~~ Bb OT-ing again and I need to go home early and my mum is NOT around!!! faint.

I am sick of maggie mee..... I lazy to buy outside food.

Just nice Pui coming home early too. so while walking home suddenly have inspiration to cook dinner again. Remembered that time I cooked Japanese curry at Bb's house. Suddenly have the urge to try again. So I told Pui to come home for dinner and I will cook something special.

I head back to NTUC to buy all the ingredients. The total cost is about $7 plus.

I'm determined to cook 10times nicer and faster than my first experience.

Went back, cut the chicken, the carrots, the potato. Cook rice, boil water, etc etc.

Everything's done within 1.5hrs. the progress is much faster than the other time and this time round, there's more sauce, the chicken is tender, the carrots and potato are all super soft~~ ohhh... I love it!! This is much nicer that what I ate yesterday. Still have a big pot left over, so mum and dad get to taste it when they come back. My dad was sooooooooooooooo surprised that I able to cook things that is way beyond maggie mee. He even ask me to teach him how to cook! hahahahaha.. Think he ask for fun to encourage me lah.

Although I believe I can do even better next time but I'm happy that I had a super nice dinner. Yummy! :)

I Cook Dinner

2008-09-11T22:58:00.002+08:00

Tonight Bb OT-ing, so I went home, hoping my mum cook. But my mum's not at home!!!

To my horror, I need to cook my own dinner.

I cook maggie mee with vege and tomato. I find it toooooooo plain, so I cut some bacon and cook scramble egg with bacon.

I LOVE the egg!!! The bacon is sooooooooooooooo saltish and makes the egg very tasty. Makes me drool just to think about it.

heeee.....

Graffiti Painting Competition

2008-09-06T23:48:00.002+08:00

I'm so looking forward for today. Today is the Graffiti Painting Competition in the zone. So we form a team and we get some friends to join us. We planned to do an asian theme. Next thing that came to my mind is Geisha. Adrian managed to find a super nice Geisha picture. But it's too small. So I decided to try my luck to search for the same picture.

Thank God I found it. Hee.. So I use that pic to enlarge it to life size (which I never done before). The kids made an effort to come earlier to help me cut out the template. The template was done in no time. :)

the actual painting was very tiring man! My hands are all covered with paints.

the competition last for about 1 hour. We managed to do up the skeleton lah.. If I have more time I will add more words to it. But nvm, it's a nice try. We managed to get 2nd though.

We shall try again next time. :D

Choose House

2008-08-28T22:49:00.003+08:00

The day has arrived! Finally! I’m so excited! Since Monday I’ve been going to HDB website to check the progress. Our first choice is actually Blk 270A. during the first day of selection, many people chose Blk 270A. our first choice of course taken away.

Never mind. We plan to get the next block instead.

On that actual day, went to Bb’s house early in the morning. Couldn’t sleep much the night earlier.

Before we went out, we check out the HDB website one more time. about 100 units already taken up. Bb had somemore last minute advices from his mum. (I don’t understand what they talking about.. talking in teo chew.. )

Our Q number is 126. We took a bus from Bb’s house to Ang Mo Kio then change train to Toa Payoh. We played PSP DJ Max along the way. ARGH.. why I keep losing??!?!? My fingers not flexible enough.

ROAR~

Anyway we reached at 3.45pm. 45mins earlier than our appointment time. after we registered, we looked at the Q number screen. Now serving 124.

We sat at the waiting area, there are many big LCD screens showing the flat that is still available. Literally can’t sit still sia. Although there will not be much changes to the current list shown on the screen, but I can’t help to keep staring at it.

We sat there for about 5mins, then the screen showed our Q number.

‘where’s 125?’ I asked Bb when our Q number appeared.

Think 125 didn’t show up.

Good!

Muahahahahahaha.. (super evil laugh)

The person who service us is very friendly, very experienced also. we chose the next block at one of the top floors.

The floor has two sides, one left one right. Told Bb I prefer the one on the left, cause it’s the same format that I’ve imagined in my mind. So we decided on a particular unit.

Very difficult to describe the feeling I have at that point of time. really difficult to pen into words. I thought to myself that time, ‘oh.. that’s it. it’s confirmed. 3 years later we’ll have a house together. The man that I’m looking at now, I would be spending the rest of my life with him, wow. Still can’t comprehend. 3 years seems so far and seems so fast at the same time. can’t gauge how long 3 years would be. Feeling loved and blissful now. And also felt quite confused now, cause Bb haven’t officially proposed, then now we’re choosing a unit together. Feel so weird. Thought the sequence should be the other way around…’ so many thoughts flooding my mind. I keep holding and rubbing his hand, cause I was feeling so excited. J

We need to make $2000 option fee.

We made all the necessary paper work. and after that we also need to get all our past 2 years’ payslip to apply for some grant 2 weeks later.

Anyway we left the counter at about 4.45pm. we took some time to take a close look at the model of the group of flats. I found our unit in the model, took a closer look at it. Although it’s just a small and tiny model, but looking at it gives me mixed feelings. I point the unit to Bb,’ that’s the unit that we’ve chosen!’ the model doesn’t look so nice before we choose the unit. Looked at the model in details, I told Bb, ‘wow! Here’s the playground! Wow! Bb look at the overhead bridge! Don’t need to go to level one to go for the playground area. Hey Bb look at this place, the pavement is so nicely decorated. Everything is so lovely!’

We left HDB hub shortly after. We went to KFC to have a super heavy tea break. Was feeling very hungry at that time. after the meal then realized that I’m too full for the dinner later. Bb’s mum cooked dinner for us.

Anyway… I’m happy today.

2008-08-05T22:48:00.001+08:00

2008-07-31T22:47:00.003+08:00

This year 4 colleague from supply got promoted. So they came together and treat the whole department dinner. we went to furama hotel eat the international buffet.

The buffet place is at the 2nd level.

The food there is DELICIOUS!! Suddenly feel my tummy is soooooooooooo small. Couldn’t contain much sia… the main meal is very delicious, the steam chicken, vege, soup, fish, etc… oh~ just thinking about it makes me hungry again. the food is very fresh. I love the salmon too! but their desserts is just so-so only. I prefer marriot’s dessert range.

Took a few of pics over there lah.

Pool Party

2008-07-28T22:47:00.001+08:00

Grandma grace and Gabriel suggested to have a pool party. Gabriel booked the table at one of the pool shop near IOI plaza.

Grandma grace can’t make it for the event. So those that went is Kenneth, Grace + bf, Ai Jia, Shi Ying, Gabriel, myself and Bb.

Went to eat starhub chicken rice (it’s called xing ho.. Chinese name same with starhub, so we call it starhub chicken rice)

Bb and I shared half a chicken, the portion is just nice. No need to ration our chicken. :D

The pool table is brown~! Bb had a brown table curse. Anyway the curse came about Bb went to play a brown pool table once at Cine, then all the skill lost all of the sudden. So since then he tried to avoid to play brown pool table.

Gabriel heard that my Bb is good in playing pool, so he said he look forward to challenge my Bb. Anyway Gabriel that night went for pool competition. He said he is the lousiest in his team. Faint~ Gabriel is pro loh.

Total we booked two table. Grace and I playing on in table, then Gabriel and Kenneth played another. Both of them cleared two games and we haven’t even half way done. Grrr…

My pool skills still so-so.. but got teacher Bb to teach.. hee… now at least can win some games..

2008-07-16T22:46:00.002+08:00

Few days ago Ella came over to my desk ask me whether I want to join the D&D committee. She said Ryan is too new to join, so she was thinking whether I want to go instead.

Somehow, here I am.. in the first meeting..

Met a few colleagues from other departments.

The first meeting is just about separate the work to two groups. One group will source for door gifts, another group will source for event’s company.

I opt to join the event’s team. I find it’ll be more exciting~

Hopefully this year’s D&D will be fun and exciting~! :D

Jen first day

2008-07-14T22:45:00.001+08:00

The day that I look forward to has arrived! These few weeks has been so overwhelm by the work load. So many people ask me do things and all say it’s important. Which one should I complete?

First day was nothing much. I’m still as busy. But at least know that Jen can start to help soon. J

Lunch time went to Xin Wang with David, Ella, Thomas and Ryan.

We sat at those long bench at the side.. 3 men squeeze in one side.. and 3 ladies sat comfortably on the other side. So contrasting sia.

The waitress came, had quite a hard time communicating. Cause david spoke in English, then the lady don’t know English. And the lady’s Chinese is super chim, the accent very strong. So don’t quite understand.

A lot of things I wanna eat lei~ but since eating with boss, so cannot eat till too ugly.. I still need to have xing xiang one k?

I ordered fish bake rice and teh peng… hee… no bones.. easy to eat

David’s treat! Yeah… got free lunch again! hahahahaha…

After that follow ella go shop around at newurbanmale.

Super relax lunch today! Hee.. super shuang..

Blackout in 111 Somerset Road

2008-07-02T23:09:00.002+08:00

Life goes on as per normal for me this morning. Woke up late, rush to work, start computer, check tons of email and excel spreadsheet, gobble up my breakfast in my office, pick up phone and start calling tenants…. Then saw something different…

Half of the office blacks out, then next second the other half black out also. Heard a machine shutdown sound at my distant left and the whole building shook for a second.

Almost all stopped work. Cause using PC. I’m using laptop, so my colleague laugh and said I still got to work. Haha. anyway I still need to reply emailsssss.. so I keep typing. Then the rest of the colleague all gathered around and talk talk talk. Heard a lot of stories; there’s smoke coming out from toilet; there’s an explosion outside; got fire somewhere in the building..

Then we saw CEO walked out of the office. Then after a while he announces that it’s safer for us to start to evacuate. We used the emergency exit. It’s the first time I been there, the staircase is narrow. And the railing is sooooo dusty. Ewww…

I just realized 13th floor is really super high up. Took a long time to walk all the way down. While walking down, realized that actually the whole building has black out.

Anyway the scenery at the emergency exit is soooooo nice!! Can see a clear view of the Youth Park, Singtel building and the Somerset Central.

We gathered at the grass patch. It’s so WARM~! We’re so late and the people has took up all the shady parts. We stood there for a while, about 10 mins. Then we given instructions to go somewhere else to chill. Once it’s okay, department heads will contact the rest. So my click all go Centrepoint. Haha~! yeah~~ a short break from all the work.

Grace and I took a short trip to Mango and the rest bought them something at coffeebean. After that we receive announcement that we can go back office. Grace and I reached office, saw Ariel they all brought their bags and waiting at the lobby. They said they are given instruction not to stay in office until further notice. So Grace and I went in and took our bags out. Saw Ella still in office, she asked me about progress of some buildings. I stayed behind and send her report before I join e rest. Feel so weird to work in an empty office.

Anyway after that we know from the press that the substation in the building has a flash fire. 4 workers are injured. Here's a picture of the substation. (Anyway I didn't know there's a substation in the building till now... heee..)

We went Taka after that. Shop our hearts out at Mango. I bought 2 dresses in total. Woohoo~ what a great retail therapy. after that we pack lunch back to office to eat. By then is already 1plus.

When I sat at my desk, reality hit me back. There’s so many things that I need to do~! Faint. Rush my things for the rest of the day.

Phew.. an exciting day.

KTV With Bb

2008-06-29T23:16:00.001+08:00

So long never been to KTV liao lah. decided to go party world with Bb to SING! We met at woodlands civic centre and we go party world together. When we reached there the person said it’s all fully booked, so we head to Yishun Safra Party world instead. Grrr.. should have booked. I thought no one wants to go to civic centre de.. so don’t bother to book the room loh. Hai.. learnt my lesson.

This time round I dare to sing more songs. Heee…. Cannot let Bb sing alone, later hurt his voice, I got to help to sing also.

I’m so sacrificial.. hahaaha.. bleah

I feel so relaxed singing with Bb. Our room is all the way at the end, so not much people pass by and disturb. I like that. haha..

After the KTV, we went to one of the coffeeshop eat dinner, then we go starbucks chill. Bb ordered the drink have coffee seed bits, so nice.. slurp slurp..

Wrong Spelling~!

2008-06-25T23:41:00.000+08:00

OMG.. saw this in Expo Hall 5. I think they meant 'Booth' No. 44 but the banner spelt 'Both' No. 44. I was so surprised that such spelling mistake will appear in Singapore

Bb go army

2008-06-16T23:15:00.001+08:00

Owww… Bb need to go reservist for 2 weeks. I’m gonna miss him.

First few days he said he has nothing much to do. Haha.. so nice huh, nice holiday lah. then Saturday he so suay need to do extra duty the whole day.

My heart hurts when I hear him sound so tired after all the training. Owww.. and these two weeks missed him terribly lah.. really treasure those few hours in between that he could come out for a while and spend time with me.

Bb xin ku le.. you’re the man! muack~

Dinner @ Pontini

2008-06-09T23:15:00.001+08:00

Celebrating Father’s day. Pui ask me where got nice place to eat. Bb suggest to go Pontini to eat. So after work I met my parents and pui man and I bring them to grand corpthorne.

Bb helped to book a table over there. When we reached Pontini, met Fazli at the entrance (only met him once when Bb brought me there the other time). Fazli guided us to our seats and gave us the menu.

To be honest, hur hur, I have difficulty reading the menu.. hahahaha.. cause I don’t know how to pronounce the dish, and need to read the description slowly to understand. Then also need to translate to my parents.

Then Bb came, and he help us order the food (thank God have Bb.. haha.. Bb saved the day)

I forgot to take the pictures of the food again~! hai~~~ the food look so appetizing lah. (of course the price is so *cough* *Cough* expensive) the food tasted nice too!

Had a very very nice and long dinner.

Zone Camp

2008-06-08T23:12:00.005+08:00

Overall e Zone Camp was nice. We took bus straight after service. Settled our dinner on the bus.

Our group name is Corinth. T-Shirt Colour is orange. So when we reach JJC, we all go change into our orange shirts.

The problem is I don’t have orange shirts. Went to Bugis the day before got myself an orange t-shirt. It’s only $5!! So cheap lah..

The shirts getting cheaper and cheaper.. haha.. so good.

The Zone camp was good. Had quality quiet time with God.

My muscle was aching all over after the camp. sleeping on the floor, then run around play games.

I hurt myself during the tug-of-war. this is the first time I played tug-of-war lah, quite difficult to play sia. I told myself I got to keep myself low and lean backwards as much as possible. We played the first match, 5 girls on each side.

Then we pulled with all our might. After that heard from kaili that my team almost lost, but I was the only one still standing firm and pull. Then she said I was super strong. Haha… but after that match I saw my right arm was all scratched. Sob. Went to had medication. All those that saw my hand were so shocked, cause it looked really serious. But it’s not really painful cause it’s very surface cuts, thank God. I can’t stand deep and bleeding cuts, too pain.

Honestly, the food there is NOT enough. Got one time our group are assigned to eat later, ask us to go bathe first. Then after bathing, still can’t eat, cause the other two group haven’t eat finish. By the time for our turn to eat, don’t have time to eat loh, don’t have food to eat also. we just gobbled a few mouthful. There’s a short break in between, we went out to have our meals.

Despite all the imperfections, I still enjoyed the camp. cause I indeed met God there. His presence is so tangible everytime during prayer meeting and personal quiet time.

Anyway inbetween, we took quite a lot of random pics. So I decided to share to everyone!

here it goes~~~ :P

Jen and Me~~Jen and Kristine~! Jen and Kristine ZiLian-ing~~ :D

Jen: Gimme a coolest posE~~!!!Haha.. caught Charmaine in the pic~Waiting for time to pass, poking competition begins~~ poke poke pokeargh... so bored~~~~~ Bb have the cutest bored look~!

New Hairdo

2008-05-29T23:11:00.001+08:00

I’ve decided. I’m going to rebond my hair! Due to my test-and-proven-habit of laziness, I don’t think I can take a good care of my hair if I go perm. After work I went straight to Chapter 2 to do my hair.

The stylist call Priscilla, a very nice lady. She’s the leading stylist in the salon. And thru the conversation, I got to know that she’s the same age as me! in fact she’s a few months younger than me. was so shock lah.. so young become leading stylist liao. *li hai… clap clap clap*

Then she was trimming my hair, then don’t know how come we suddenly talked about perming. Then she strongly encourages me to go perm.

Due to the strong encouragement by her, I decided to last minute change my plan – to go perm instead. She said it won’t take too long to manage my hair everyday and she promised she will make it nice nice for me.

I wanted to message Bb that I’m doing perm instead. He called when I was typing the message half way. When I just about the pick up the phone, the stylist suggest not to tell him first, surprise him when it’s done. So I didn’t tell Bb straight away that I did perm. Hee.. so bad of me. bleah..

The perming equipment is so heavy lah. sob. My neck almost broke from all the weight. After the perm, Priscilla took out all the rollers. I got the shock of my life. It’s so curled up and I feel like I’m wearing a lawyer’s wig. Haha… it’s so er xin lah.. *faint*

After that she apply a few sets of cream to fix the shape and also treatment. Thank God the end product is much better than the lawyer’s wig. First look at it, to be honest, I simply couldn’t get used to it. feel so loud.

I’m the last customer in the salon! Haha.. feel so honoured.

Left at about 10.20pm. The perm is super expensive lah.. the perm is about $260. Then the styling cream cost me about $90. Total more than $360. *heart pain*

But it’s a super good retail therapy.. I felt a lot more ‘stress-less’ after spending so much to pamper myself. Hee..

I keep looking at the mirror while I travel back home. Argh.. I felt so different lah.. couldn’t get used to it. Went home took a few pictures.. hee.. then after that sent MMS to Bb.. hee.. so excited!

Tomorrow’s CG, I wonder how CG members will react! Hee… Hmm.. 2 days can’t wash hair. Sad. Hopefully flies won’t come and look for me.

Buy Specs

2008-05-28T23:10:00.003+08:00

‘Enough! Been procrastinating for so long! It’s time for me to do something about my specs and hair.’ This is what I told myself on Tuesday.

So I ask Bb which day he’s free, Wed or Thurs. I need him to accompany me to go buy specs.

Met him at Tampines to have dinner together first. We went to Century Square. I ate Pepper Lunch and Bb ate Korean fried Saba Fish. The Pepper Lunch portion quite little, but don’t have much appetite that day, so it’s still alright. Cannot eat that during normal, hungry days.. :D

After the dinner, we pass by a few spectacles shops. I couldn’t made up my mind to get which specs. The first shop we found one specs super nice.. miss sixty de.. but the total price is more than $400!

Then we decided to go 2nd shop to try our luck. Bb found the spec that I’ve bought. Milky-white frame. Initially I find this frame weird, cause I’ve been wearing frameless for so long. And also worried that the specs might not match office wear. But after that still bought that pair, cost me $260.

Product Innovation Exam

2008-05-26T23:59:00.001+08:00

This exam I have more time to study. But I got a lot of things need to cover. I don’t have time to study my text thoroughly.

When I reached the school on the actual day, I was super nervous, still trying to flip my notes and squeeze as much as possible into my brain.

Called Bb and Bb prayed for me again before I go into the exam hall. I felt much better after Bb prayed.

The exam started, I was shocked. Oh no, a lot of things I don’t know how to answer. But I still tried my best to write as much as possible. I think the person who mark my script will be super angry cause I was quite messy with my handwriting.

After the exam, I met up with my classmates and we discussed about the exam. Oh man, a lot of topics I really don’t know.

After the exam I went to Expo meet my family. They want to go to the food exhibition. We bought quite a lot of items and tried a lot of food (we paid for them of course.. we’re not so cheapo to eat only free stuffs.. :P). after the food exhibition, we went to Robinsons Sales. We bought more things. and I got a new pillow! I’m so happy!

Bb joined us at around 8pm. And we have dinner together at LerkThai. Bb ask the waiter to instruct the chef not to cook the food too spicy. The food came, it’s nice~ the spiciness is quite acceptable. :D

Meet tenant alone for the first time

2008-05-23T23:58:00.001+08:00

Celest not able to go with me. so I need to go alone. was feeling quite nervous as this will be my first time meeting tenants alone.

And I’m meeting the landlord for the first time too.

I reached the place just on time, took a while to search for the management office. The landlord is very friendly.

We head to the tenant’s office together.

Landlord did most of the talking. Hee.. most of the time I was sitting there. But there are also some issue that tenant wants my confirmation. So after that I went back office to send a confirmation email.

Verdict: I was really nervous. Still don’t know how to speak like my seniors, can talk about thousand and one things with customers and build good rapport. Like what Celest says, I got to go out more often to train myself. :D

Will try harder next time.

IT Management Exam

2008-05-15T23:57:00.001+08:00

Just came back from Hong Kong on the 12th, was on MC on the 13th. Then 14th I took a half day afternoon leave to do my really-super-last-minute revision. I did a little revision when I’m in Hong Kong for the first day, after that I totally ignore the existence of that text book.

Anyway, when I reached home on the 14th. Still feeling tired. I haven’t recover from the tiredness from Hong Kong trip. So I took a super long nap till evening then start to study. Got 6 chapters in total. Thank God that I attended the revision lecture, it cut down on a lot of unnecessary work.

Managed to roughly go through all my text. Then during 15th morning, while I was studying in my room, I heard my mum open door for someone. Then suddenly Bb appeared! I was really surprised and I was still in my ugly pajamas. Haha..

We have lunch at my house and Bb accompany me go to school. We took a cab there, so I got somemore time to have a final check on my notes before I go into the exam hall.

Bb prayed for me before I go into the exam hall. Was feeling quite nervous. I was 5 mins late into the hall.

I was very happy with the questions, cause I know how to answer almost all of them.

I think I should be able to score well for this. really thank God for that. :D

After the exam, met up with Bb and we go to Great World City. Ate Mac for dinner and we caught a movie.

Hee.. I enjoyed myself today.

Prodigal Son

2008-05-05T00:03:00.001+08:00

Last fri during CG, felt the leading to flip to read the passage about the prodigal son.

The son one day told his father, ‘I don’t want to wait till you die then I can get my portion of inheritance, I want to get it now! Right now!’ the son does not care whether his words will hurt his father or not.

But his father is very merciful, he gave his son his portion of the inheritance. The son left the family the very next day. ‘To freedom!’ he thought to himself.

The son went to town, get to know a few friends. The son thought, ‘when I was in my father’s house, I was living a controlled life. Everything need to follow rules, can’t do this, can’t do that. Now, I can do whatever I want. I have a lot of friends that always be there with me. this is the life that I truly enjoy, a life that I do it MY OWN WAY.’

Shortly after that, the son spent all the money away. His so-called friends left him, no one bothered to help him. he was all alone, hungry, no place to rest his head. Being desperate for food, he even eat with the swine (pigs).

He must have regretted his action and what he said to his father. He thought that going away from his father’s house is true freedom, but in the end, he have nothing. Now he knows, living in his father’s house will give him security, true freedom, a life of more than enough.

‘what have I done? How I long to be back at my father’s house. Back then, I have lots of clothes to wear, lots of food to eat. Not one day I worried about what is going to happen tomorrow. I have never experienced lack in my life. I thought I was so smart that I can take care of my own life. I was wrong. Even the servants in my father’s house have more than enough bread to eat. And for me, I’m feeding with swine. I have no choice, I don’t mind even if I need to be a servant at my father’s house… I need to be back!’

The son decided to head back home. Feeling nervous, don’t know how will his father and siblings react when he steps into the house again. don’t know whether will they chase him out. he have decided that he will be a servant if it is what it takes to earn a place to stay at home again.

‘if they do not accept me again, I understand. But right now, I have no other options available for me. if I continue my life like this, I’ll die.’

As he was walking back, the father saw his long lost son at a distance. The father has been longing to see his son again. the son was surprised that he was being accepted into the house once again despite of all the nasty things he has done.

Birthday Dinner @ Grand Corpthorne

2008-04-19T20:36:00.004+08:00

Today Bb gave me a big surprise.

I was being informed that some of the CG members are going to celebrate my birthday. Bb did not tell me where will we be eating dinner.

Met min kuan after work, he came to my office building. Bb said he’s not able to make it in time, he’s still rushing down from work.

Sat with Min Kuan at the bus stop near my office for quite some time. Min kuan don’t want to tell me where the dinner will be. Anyway I guessed that it might be Grand Corpthorne. I observed the buses that came. All the buses passed by, we still didn’t board any bus. After that we board one bus. I remember this bus goes to great world city + grand corpthorne.

True enough, we alight at grand corpthorne. We reached the bus stop, we saw Zhao at the bus stop. He’s waiting for Ber. So we all wait for Ber to come. Then after that we walked in, the first floor, international buffet. And to my surprise, I saw Bb already sitting there, waiting.

‘orh… u bluff me… you are here all along, still say you still on the way… grrr…’ I told him.

I saw a super cute balloon waiting for me at the table~!

After that I saw Tiong Kun and Xiu Wen. We all went to take our stuff, take our time to eat. The food is quite nice. Didn’t take much pictures.

After that the cake came. Woah… the cake is super CUTE~! The strawberry look sooooooooooooooo fresh and HUGE~! The best strawberry cake I ever seen in my life!

They sang birthday song for me. then time for me to blow off the candles. Grr.. no matter how I blow, I couldn’t blow off the candles. Grr… after that then I realized that I was tricked. Grrrr… I blew so hard that I choke on the smoke. After that we use water to put off the candles. Hee..

I enjoyed my dinner. I was so full after that, couldn’t finish my cake. My da bao the cake back home. Haha~!

Heartache. I want to be STRONG!

2008-04-13T23:57:00.001+08:00

Today rushed to do my online quiz. Did very badly. Only score 45/100. Need to buck up for my projects and final exam. I know I sure can write something to impress the marker. I can do it!

After that went to Bugis with Bb. Bb gave me more pressie, two very expensive shoes from Charles n Keith. I’m very touched. Bb is soooooo nice~~~ I really liked the present a lot! Last week Bb bought me items from Make Up Store and Esprit.

Throughout the trip today, we’re hogging to the PSP. Haha. we literally took turn to play. Wah, after giving Bb the PSP, feel like getting one for myself! Haha! we also had a very nice dinner. I brought Bb to visit my Dad’s workplace. Dad made a super sumptuous dinner for both of us; a gigantic steamed fish head, sweet n sour pork, stir fry vege with mushroom. Ooooooo.. I love it! then Bb bought turtle soup too. Wah, was super full after that.

Today went home with Dad after the outing. Seldom had chance to spend time to talk to him. Felt a lot throughout the trip. While talking, I looked at my Dad’s tired eyes, makes me remembered how busy he was just now. Bb and I stayed at the stall for more than 1 hour, and Dad didn’t have a chance to stop and have a rest. He was working as if having a war. I don’t think I can be like him if I were to be in the same situation. I think I will be just too tired to continue.

Then I looked at his hands, it’s full of rashes. Rashes are due to the hot oil that splattered onto his hands while he was working. Sob. My heart aches…

Then these few years he has been freq to see doctors. Sob.

While travelling back home, Dad said he really wish that he will retire soon. His body can’t take it much longer. Dad said that he’s willing to teach someone who is willing to take over his work.

I hold my Dad’s hand, suddenly realized that Dad is old. I knew it all the while; just that the reality didn’t impact me that much until I hold my Dad’s hand and took a close look. I really want to let Dad enjoy his retirement, which he will not be troubled over his finances. I really want to be able to provide more than enough for my parents. They have worked tirelessly for pui and I for so long, it’s time for them to enjoy life to the fullest!

When I got home, prayed for my Dad. I prayed that my Dad could be happy, able to enjoy life, healthy and strong. I also prayed that my Dad can be saved and experience God in a tangible way. It’s heartache to see Dad work till so hard and was so tired. Sob.

It’s really sad sometimes that how come I am not strong enough financially to be able to support my parents. Argh. One of my greatest wish is that I can be able to let them enjoy their retirement, together. I believe that it could come to pass. I know the Lord will provide more than enough, He will bless. :D

First-timer chef

2008-04-11T23:35:00.001+08:00

Bb posted a last-minute test for me - to cook a meal for him. ROAR~ I don't know how to cook lah. Somemore I only have less than 2days to think of what to cook. OMG~ faint.

In office asked Ariel for help. She suggest me try doing Japanese curry. She assures that it was super easy. Then during lunch I ask Ariel to go Paragon with me to get the Curry roux. Then after lunch time I checked out many online receipes and also consult more experienced female colleagues who knows how to cook. I feel so auntie.

Anyway, went to SengKang after work and bought all the necessary ingredients. But Bb was having OT, so waited downstairs till his elder brother reach home to open door for me. Waited for quite a while before Bb came back.

Started cooking at around 9pm. Bb did all the cutting, the onions, potatos, carrots, chicken, etc. And I am in charged of cooking everything.

I didn't know need to wait so long for the potatos and carrots to soften, I didn't encounter this problem when I was cooking maggi mee at home. Then Bb cooked one of his favourite dish - egg w preserved veg. Bb forgot to put the preserved veg into the egg. He only remembered when the egg was almost done. So the final product was not saltish enough. Anyway I still liked Bb's cooking. :D

After slightly more than 1 hour of preparation, finally it's dinner time. It was about 10plus by now.

Overall verdict: rice too dry and too little curry. the rest is alright.

At least the 'areas of improvements' are minor issues. At least the outcome is still quite tasty. heee... :D

One Year Anniversary

2008-04-08T23:12:00.006+08:00

The day has finally arrived! It’s our 1st year anniversary. Still remember last year how we got started… and it seems like it’s just yesterday :D

I thought for quite some time, decided to bless Bb with a PSP.

Last Wednesday I went to the shop to buy. To prevent Bb from spotting, I wrapped the PSP with black shawl and I insist to carry the bag myself. Managed to smuggle the PSP back home without any suspicision.

On Tuesday lunch time, went to buy wrapper. Ariel helped me with the wrapping. Didn’t plan how I want to wrap, but it still look quite presentable lah. Hee.. :D
I’m supposed to plan the date. So I brought Bb to eat the very nice pasta at taka.

That’s what we ordered. Hmmmm … I love both of them.

After that I wanna bring Bb to Singapore River there to chill, and also to pass him my mystery gift! Throughout the trip he wanted to take a peep of how the mystery gift looks like. He offered to carry my bag for me, but I insist to carry it myself. Hee.. and Bb so li hai~ somehow he knows that I wanna bring him to Singapore River there to chill. he end up lead the way to bring me to tt place as I forgot how to go, I was so lost when we came out of Raffles Place MRT. Haha~

Can’t wait to pass him the pressie! When we sat at the same location, I passed him the pressie. Took a vid of how he unwrap the thick layers of newspaper + scotchtapes. I shouldn’t under estimate those that work in logistics line. He unwrap everything within 10mins! Amazing!

Here's the big pile of newspaper after all the unwrapping was done.

Glad to know that he liked the present! He said he roughly guessed what I am giving him.

It’s nice to sit along the river again with him, but I was wearing skirt sia. Cannot sit there comfortably. So we left shortly. After that we walked back to City Hall MRT, then hang out a while at Raffles City before Bb send me home.

Woohoo~ I enjoyed myself lots!

Punggol Spring

2008-03-28T00:35:00.001+08:00

Closing date is 17mar. not sure when results will be out. But hopefully the queue number will not be 9000+ again. We don’t mind cutting away that two irritating ‘zeros’ off that queue number… hee..

Sad Story

2008-03-26T21:25:00.000+08:00

Today heard a story from someone. Heart pain after hearing the story. This girl just happily attached with a bf. bf previously just broken up with a girl that he don’t really love.. but the relationship lasted for 8 years.

This girl mentioned that the relationship lasted so long because the gf does not want to let him go. And his current bf don’t know how to make a decision and said no.

After this girl got attached with her bf, both of them are very happy. They enjoyed few weeks of blissful moments…

The ex gf found out that they got together. She was very unhappy. Last week, ex gf contacted bf’s parents. Now, whole family felt that this girl is the 3rd party. And they pitied the ex gf as they felt that she’s the victim.

this girl was feeling very heartbroken. She was not the 3rd party. Her bf no longer love his ex gf before they got together. And everytime when the bf wants to break up, his ex gf will do funny things to make him stay by her side. Past few weeks after the bf broken up with his ex gf, he receives msg like the ex gf got lung infection, taken 17 panadol at one go, etc… the girl felt that if his ex gf really want to commit suicide she shouldn’t be counting how many panadol she has taken. And what’s the point of keeping one person by her side while she knows that the guy no longer loved her.

and not only this ex gf is creating problems, bf’s family don’t really approve them to be together. This girl commented that getting together with him is so difficult. And out of no where she was labeled as the 3rd party, scheming, daring girl. Bf’s mum advised bf that this girl does not suit him at all.

From what I know, this girl is not someone that bf’s family thought.

Only time could show them who is a better choice.. but not sure whether both of them are able to last till that day to arrive… but I believe they could be happily ever after. :D jia you~!

Huge surprise at Singapore Flyer

2008-03-23T21:13:00.000+08:00

Today morning been rushing with my individual assignment and Bb is helping out in the backstage for Easter services.

Finally everything’s over. Already made arrangement that we’ll both meet up after Easter services to spend time together. Met him at Tampines, Bb drove me back to Seng Kang. Bb borrowed Winnie’s car during day time. We have dinner at Compass point Pizza Hut. I was super full after that. have difficulty walking. :D Bb suggest to go City Hall after the dinner. Bb asked me is there any new hangout place at City Hall area. replied him that I can only think of Singapore Flyer.

Anyway after dinner we return the car to Winnie. After we returned the keys to Desong, Bb said he was feeling very warm and want to take cab to go City Hall. Feeling quite strange that how come Bb want to take cab. Cab is getting more and more expensive and we’re not rushing for time anyway, why take cab? Bb said he wanna take cab so that can spend more time with me. so sweet.. hee..

We take cab to Singapore Flyer. Went to visit washroom first, then after that walk around with Bb. We came to the ticket entrance for the ride. Bb seems like he didn’t realize he’s walking towards the entrance. Then after that he said he want to go inside and take a look.

‘huh? We don’t have tickets, sure cannot go in one…’

‘can one, let’s go… ‘ (grabbing my hand and pull me towards the entrance…)

‘Bb~ cannot one lah, the person outside need the ticket.. ‘

When we reach the entrance, the person ask for the ticket. I was thinking, ‘see! The person said need ticket, we cannot go in lah.. let’s turn back.’ When I was about to say that, Bb showed me 2 tickets for Singapore Flyer!

I was soooooooooooo surprised. The guy at the entrance laughed.

We went in. was still amazed how come Bb have the time to go get the tickets.

Took a picture at the picture station before we proceed to take the ride.

Beside us, got one Chinese couple and one Indian family sharing the same capsule with us. The next capsule is empty! Sob.. anyway still enjoy the ride. Took some pictures during the ride. The scenery is niceeeeeeeeeeee… I love the lights~

Main thing I love most is to spend quality time with Bb. These few weeks been very busy for both of us, no time to meet up. So today is to make up all the misses we had.

Bb ask me to guess when did he bought the tix. I was so surprised that he bought the tix for almost 1 year! He bought the tix on 5th may 07, so long ago lah. He planned this day for long time. So sweet of him~~

After that he said he chose today is because this is the 2nd time we spent Easter together as a couple. Last year Easter is mid April, so time wise, we have not celebrated 1 year anniversary. Treating this as a 1 year anniversary present for both of us..

It’s a nice way to celebrate 1 year anniversary. Heee.. thanks Bb~!

Food Glorious Food~!

2008-03-18T23:00:00.001+08:00

Today Ariel, Aijia, Talia and I went to taka. We decided to explore new food. Went to a pasta café at B2, near cold storage.

We took quite sometime standing at the counter to read through the items on the menu. After that we ordered our meal. Shared the dessert and drink with Ariel.

This is what I ordered, Salmon + Pasta + Pesto sauce

This is what Aijia ordered, similar.. but hers is thai basil sauceAriel's pasta.. aglio olio with prawn flitters.
Talia's ... forgot the name.. but is with cod fish.. the fish was super nice~! v fresh and it just melts in your mouth.
Woah~ the food look soooooo nice~! We are so surprised that the pasta look so nice. And it taste nice too~!

As compared to pasta mania, this is much nicer. Spent about $13 for my meal, it’s really worth the price. Feeling hungry already. Hee.. :D

Thank God for protection.

2008-03-17T00:26:00.001+08:00

Since yesterday I am having a very bad tummy ache. During evening time, felt slightly better. Went out to meet Bb. He can leave rehearsal early. Good lah. Can spend time with him.

These few weeks both of us were very busy. Only time we could see each other is only Saturday.

We went to Army Market and Bugis. Bb bought a pair of pants, slippers and shoe. I bought a pair of slippers. I wanted to get the same shoe as Bb, but don’t have size for me.

We went to Bugis play Arcade. Heee… it was fun! My arms are so tired after playing. We went to Mac to have some snacks before we head home.

I decided to send Bb back to Seng Kang then I take bus back. Bb initially urges me to take MRT back to woodlands straight. But I just want to see more of Bb.

Alight at the bus stop as usual. Don’t know why today I felt exceptional paranoid. I kept looking around, afraid that someone going to attack me anytime. I was talking to Bb once I got down the bus. It’s a usual ritual for me to call Bb when I’m near home. I will talk to him till I reached home.

I reached the lift lobby. The second before I step into the lift, I heard some shuffle sound on my left. It only lasted less than a second. And when I just stepped into the lift, someone suddenly ran towards my direction and wanted to get into the lift too. I was started by the sound he made when he ran.

Description of that guy: Malay, bald head, about 1.7m, big size, fat tummy, in 30’s, big eyes, English speaking, wears white shorts T-shirt, Jeans, brown shoe.

Remembered the last time I had the same situation. That time I have no time to react. This time I have time. I saw him seems not very sure he wanted to come into the lift, and then I keep pressing the ‘open’ button. In case anything happened I still have chance to run off.

I asked him which floor he’s going. I deliberately projected my voice, to make him feel that I’m not those kinds that are easily bullied. He took a step into the lift, look at the buttons for a while. (I’m still pressing the ‘open’ button that time)

He didn’t say which floor he wanted to go, but he asked me whether I’m still on the line. (I was talking to Bb at that point of time)

Me, ‘yes. I’m still on the line…’ (I’m implying whatever he want to say, make it quick. I’m not going to put down the line)

(That guy stepped out of the lift, seems to be thinking what to talk)

That guy, ‘actually I got a car, parked outside…’ (While talking, he took a few steps back, pointing where his car is and giving me hand gestures that ask me to follow him to go see his car)

Me, ‘yes? ’ (I deliberately stood near the lift lobby area, don’t want to follow him. That time he was about 3metres away from me. He was pointing at the direction where I just walked pass, and I DON’T remember there’s any car parked there. Even if he parked right after I pass by, I should be able to hear some car sound. Fishie~)

That guy, ‘erm, I wanted to go to Sembawang, but I don’t know how to go…’

Me, ‘erm, you just go back to the junction (pointing towards Causeway point direction), and you turn right. Do you know where causeway point is?’

That guy, ‘erm, no.’

Me, (I’m very surprised that he don’t know where causeway point is. Stupid excuse) ‘erm, you just go to that junction, turn right, you will see the MRT station. When you reached, turn right again and drive along the MRT track you will reach Sembawang.’

I really find it’s a stupid excuse lah. In the first place if he has a car, he should know how to drive around. Drivers should have a map with them. Furthermore if he genuinely know that he don’t know how to go certain place, he should prepare himself a map incase such thing happen. Go sembawang is so easy lah, it’s not those Ulu Ulu place where not much people know. There’s a MRT station named after that place loh.

And why of all places, he come to such quiet place and ask me for direction. I’m not near the main road. Usually whoever has brain will go to more crowded places to ask for directions. He’s a faker!

Anyway can feel that that guy wanted me to follow him, but I stood at the lift lobby. Not willing to walk closer and I insist not to put down the phone. I was very scared at that time..

That guy, ‘oh, okay, are you local?’

Me, ‘yes. Why?’ (Stupid lah, ask me whether I’m local for what?)

That guy, ‘oh ya, anyway I’m taking care of the NUS wind surfing club. There are people from Japan and Korea coming to have a party. Can I invite you to come too?’ (For what sia? I was still quite smiley on the outside and I’m super pissed and irritated by him. Can he just go away? I’m NOT interested in whatever wind surfing club. And don’t know what kind of party is that. I don’t feel safe talking to him. If he thinks that he can get my contact number, HA! Fat hope! )

Me, ‘no thanks, I’m not interested.’

That guy, ‘the party is around May…’

Me, ‘oh, I’ll be overseas in May…’

That guy (smiles), ‘oh okay, thanks…’

Me (smiles), ‘okay bye..’ *waves*

He walked off. I get into another lift. Still don’t feel secure, so I stood at the centre of the door while pressing the ‘close’ button. Phew… my heart was pounding very very fast. Talked to Bb again once the lift door close. I told Bb what happened just now. Phew… Bb was so worried for me. Assured him I’m alright. By then I just stepped into my house and locked the door.

Thank God I’m alright. Thank God for protection. I think if I put down the phone with Bb just now, think he might want to do some funny things. I don’t dare to imagine. Like what Bb said just now, if history is going to repeat itself, don’t know whether he can take it. I don’t think I can take it either. He jokingly said I should stay with him so that I can get 24hrs of protection. Haha. Funnie~~~

Hey girls out there, be careful! As much as possible, don't get into a lift alone with a guy. Especially at night. It's not safe

Revelation during overnight Prayer Meeting

2008-02-26T00:27:00.003+08:00

Went for prayer meeting last Friday. Although went back home at 2am, I’m very blessed by the session. During the worship, had a vision.

First, I saw myself feeling trapped. I was hitting the air. I was not being bound, just hitting the air. Feeling of being trapped was terrible. I remembered I was screaming in that vision. Next, I saw a living room, a baby was learning how to walk, the baby cannot balance himself and keep falling back and sit on the floor. I saw a big, male hand was nearby the child, always ready to grab hold of the child if the child is going to get himself hurt.

Felt the vision means something about my life. Firstly, I saw myself trapping. There is no one binding me. I'm trapping all by myself. Maybe I felt that recently or in near future, many things are going to be difficult. Sometimes it might even feel that it’s going to suffocate you on the inside. Felt that it is going to be something that is within me, that is why I'm trapping all by myself and I didn't see any strings or other stuffs that bind me down. Seems like there’s no breakthrough in the things to come. Future is bleak and have no idea what is going to happen in the future. Next I saw the baby learning to walk. Felt that God is encouraging me with that scene. I’m just like that baby, trying to learn how to walk. To the baby, learning how to walk is the most difficult thing that he has ever done in his life. Many times the baby would fail. But he got no choice but to keep trying. Although the baby don’t understand the benefits of learning how to walk, and not sure what other things he’s going to learn in future, the baby just have to keep training.

The baby’s father was very near the baby. The father always kept a close eye on the baby and he knows how to catch the baby if he falls. To the baby, learning how to walk was everything. But to the father, he saw beyond walking, he is able to see much further. The father can visualize the baby grow up to be a strong and lively kid, goes to kindergarden, primary school, learn more knowledge, get to know new friends, etc. The father has already made many plans, started planning to save for the baby’s university course fees, what course he could take, the baby getting married and have kids, etc.

To the father, learning how to walk is just a very minor segment in the baby’s life. When the baby grews up and look back, the baby won’t remember how much he has ‘suffered’ from learning how to walk. As the difficulty is too insignificant…

I’m just like that baby. To me, things that’s happening around me now seems so huge, seems like it’s going to eat me up soon. I was so focus on the difficulty and I couldn’t see what’s going to happen in future. The trouble before my eyes now is everything. But to God, He’s just like the Father. He saw beyond this. He saw all the good things that are going to happen in the future. He can visualize all the various victories that I’m going to have. He has also started planning for my future, started to lay foundation and to prepare me for what is to come.

To God, this stage now is only the starting part; He knows that the so called big trouble now will be so insignificant in future that I might even forget about it.

Although it seems to be insignificant, but God knows that it’s essential for me to move further. God could see the benefits that will come along with it once I experience breakthroughs in those areas.

After understanding these, I felt much better. Thank God for it.

Valentine's Day

2008-02-14T00:08:00.004+08:00

Today’s a special day!!! first time celebrating V Day having a bf. Hee.. Last year celebrated V Day in Thailand, celebrated with Valor, Jeremy, Kaili, Jessie, Jennifer, Bb and myself. Hee.. looking back, last year was fun, cause start to realized Bb like me~~ :D

This year, can’t celebrate much cause need to go to class. Bb also need to work OT to finish up his work.

But still wear nice nice to go office. Still remember yesterday evening, Bb suddenly call up and ask me whether my office is at level 16. I ask him how come suddenly ask me this question, he said he just thought of it then ask me.

Anyway, can smell fish from here, but don’t want to think too much.

Then morning about 10plus ba, got a call from recept. She said, ‘Eunice Eunice!! Come over help~ Urgent!! Come save me!!’ never hear Samantha so up tight on the phone, so I ran over to the recept. Then when I reached there, saw a guy stood in front of the recept area, holding a bouquet of flowers.

‘arhhh.. it’s for me?? serious?!?!??’ that’s what I thought to myself that time.

It’s from Bb!! Haha.. so excited! First time received flowers. Then when I go back to the office area, first one I saw is Ariel, then I show her my flowers~~ hee.. I was really really happy about it.. then Ariel let me have her vase to house my flowers… hee…

Next thing I do is to read the card. Hee.. ooooooooooooooooooooo.. so sweet of Bb~~ thanks Bb!!! Heee..

Before got attached, I thought flowers nothing much lah. But only when I got my first bouquet of flowers, then I realized the power of that flower.. got so happy the whole day~ :D but the most magical part of the flower is who the sender is. Woohoo~ so happy is Bb to be the first one who gimme flowers.. and deliver all the way to my office, and it’s on V Day..

After a few mins when I got the flowers, thought of Bb’s wallet. Orh… must cost a bomb to him.. although I know he’ll never tell me how much it would cost, but out of concern still ask him. scared him later not enough money for himself. Sob sob.. Bb made such a sacrifice.. *touched*
So sad today I got school. So I went to school. After school I took a cab back home and meet Bb. He just ended work and took cab to my house. We ate at the coffeeshop below my house. After that we talk for a while at downstairs before going back up.

2008-02-13T23:51:00.005+08:00

After work, AiJia, Talia, ShiYing, Ariel and I took a bus to Chinatown. Then we walk to Furama. When we reached, Grace and Victor is already there. Here's Victor's super belated present. Kenneth really funny, put his name tag on the box. Side dishes.. nice nice.. although they say is free flow, they refill once then didn't refill liao. sobCook of the day - Aijia~~~ And Shi Ying~~~

Don’t know how to look at the menu, so decided to stay away from the menu and let the rest order.

Took quite a number of the food eaten. But not all, too focus on eating and I forgot to take picture of it. :D

Enjoyed eating with them lah, talk rubbish but was fun~~ I laugh till tummyache.. haha..

Orientation at Power Station

2008-02-13T19:56:00.003+08:00

Today woke up soooooooo early in the morning, supposed to meet Ariel at 7.10am at woodlands, both of us late. Reached Jurong East at 7.50am. almost missed the shuttle bus. Phew. Beside a HR girl and us, the rest all guys.. haha.. feel funnie.

Reached station at about 8.30am. went to a room to have my picture taken and went to the admin building.

We went to a room to have talks. Different dept head share about what their dept is doing. The topics are interesting, but I was dozing off. Opps.

During lunch, we went to the canteen eat. Took picture of the food and the people I’m eating with. hee.. the food’s nice. I like the chilli, it’s sweet and not so spicy. Goes well with the food. :P slurp~

After lunch, it’s the main highlight of the day, went to have a station tour! Loved the tour man~ all those machines are HUGE! The generator, control room, etc.. woah.. I was amazed at the technology. Then towards the end of the tour, one of the station staff brought us to level 15 of the station, can have a clear view of the Tuas coast and can see Jurong Island just across the coast. I was so scared, cause they use metal flooring for all the levels. So I can see how high I’m standing. Omg.. almost can’t move my feet to walk back to the lift. It’s so scary.

The tour was really AWESOME~ loved it so much. I don’t mind have another tour again. haha..
After the tour, a few more talks and we head back to office. :D

Sentosa Outing - Flower Festival

2008-02-10T20:13:00.001+08:00

Today Bb have car for the whole day. In the morning, went to Seng Kang wake him up and we go svc together. This week service only on Sunday morning.

When we reached, service already started.

The service was great, I enjoyed it lots. Pastor talked about relationship, focusing on the characteristics of man and woman. After the sermon, Pastor asked all the married couples to go in front and declare the marriage vows again. every married couple who went to the front have a corsage and a rose. Oh, the scene was very touching. See from the big LCD screen, can see a lot of the women are in tears when they recite the marriage vows. I almost couldn’t hold back my tears too. sob sob.

After service we went to Simei foodcourt eat. Hee.. Initially Bb and I planned to go swim. So I brought my swimming costumes and other items. Then when at Simei, Bb said he wanted to somewhere else instead. Sound so mysterious; don’t want to tell me where he wants to go. After that I managed to guess correctly, he wants to go to Sentosa.

Jen was ushering today, when she reached Simei foodcourt, she pass me one rose!! Hee… the rose was nice!

Today’s Jen’s birthday. So ask her whether want to go Sentosa too~ but jen and ling went to town instead. End up with Bb and I go.

First time took a car in Sentosa. Sentosa changed quite a lot since the last time I went. Nothing much to do now, cause a lot of renovation going on.

We parked the car at the Beach carpark. Parking here is cheap. :D

The place is very warm, by then the rose is dying. So I decorate the car with flower petals. Hee.. after that we went to the venue of the flower festival. The flowers are really nice. Took lots of pics of ourselves and the flowers.. :D

Bb and I are showing off our photography skills to each other. Hee.. Bb’s photogenic.. so handsome.. haha..

After that we head back to the car, the flower petals that I placed just now are utterly burnt! Haha.. I’m shocked tt the petals got dried up so fast. The car was really warm.

Still want to go have a swim, but I don’t want to go beach and swim. So we wanted to go to the hotel there and try our luck see whether can sneak in and swim there. Took the tram to the other end of the beach. Went to the swimming area. we decided not to smuggle ourselves into the pool. We walked around in the hotel and we saw ping pong table. Bb and I started playing ping pong. Still remember the last time I played was in primary school, I played in my child care centre. I remember that time I only played once, cause I find the ball very difficult to managed and makes the sport not fun at all.

After so many years, still find this sport is difficult. The ball so light and so fast. Very difficult to manage it. along the way, I observe how Bb played, so learnt some skills from him. we played for a very very long time. I was sweating all over sia. Phew. And the main cause of sweating is because Bb will hit the ball so hard and I couldn’t catch it. then the ball went at least 10 meters away from the table. And I need to walk all the way to retrieve.

Enjoyed the game, it only cost $1 to get the ping pong ball. So cheap. Haha..

Since I brought the shampoo and other stuff, we decided to borrow their washroom to take a bath. Hee..

After the bath, felt so fresh. By then it’s evening time already. To made our way back to the car. And we left Sentosa.

For dinner, we travel to Geylang. Bb always like to go there to eat bull frog porridge. We ordered 1 vege, 3 bull frog, 1 corn flakes prawn. A super heavy + nice meal. And total we only spent about $50 for the meal. Nice~~
After dinner, Bb sent me home. Hee… :D
