I love long weekend

2011-05-02T15:06:00.002+08:00

Love Long Weekends!
It should be this way every week.. work 4 days, rest 3 days.
To have work life balance, rightfully there should be 3.5 days of work and 3.5 days of rest.
See? I am not even being overly-demanding..

Spent a lot this weekend..
Saturday-4 tops
Sunday- 1 top, 1 dress and 1 shoe
Monday- 1 top
Geez.. I could really do with some bottoms..
And ya.. I really need to lose some weight.
Hate the feeling when size S is kinda too fitting and size M is too big. Big boo boo!
And I need to lose the tan line on my neckline.. damn.. I should really have applied MORE sunblock that day.. how now brown cow??

Sometimes I can be so frank I scare myself and sort of regret it after saying somethings.
But sometimes its not the things I say that makes me regret or worried but the fact that I actually said it that makes me keep thinking about it. Maybe its the trust that she has in me that makes me feel very comfortable in voicing out my inner thoughts and feelings. It feels good to be appreciated.
Just for the record, I didnt say anything wrong, done anything wrong. =) i hope. haha..

i am thankful to have her as my XXXX. =)

2 years later

2011-03-19T16:07:00.002+08:00

Its been 2 years since Meow Me passed away.
I'm still loving her.

Canada

2010-12-04T15:16:00.003+08:00

Canada!!

For hubby~

For me, its Bali. Quite extreme hor?

Its snowing at Canada loh.. So jealous.

He's now in transit.. at London now.. Hope he buys something for me there.. =p

Missing u a lot already!!

No idea.

2010-10-21T13:44:00.003+08:00

Made an attempt to delete off my tag box.. seems like its flooded with nonsense.. But anyway I cant figure it out. Shall get hubby to do it for me then.

I am on off today. Claimed my 2 half days.. The only good thing abt being on off is that I can stay at home!... n do my work.. and yes I mean homework.. from school. But to be exact, the previous statement is just an intention. I have yet to take out the homework from my "schoolbag". I have set aside 3pm to 6pm to do the homework. Figured out that I need time to rest and relax a bit more. Perhaps when 3pm strikes, I may just choose the procrastinate a bit more .. e.g. doing only the online quiz instead of figuring out the budget report and nominating my staff for the award. But that will mean having to do more during the weekend. haiz. we shall see how then.

Never a day of total rest eh? In fact, it was a sms from someone in sch that made me get up from my comfy bed. Spoil the morning doesnt it?

Random thoughts for today.. (I am too lazy to write proper sentences that link)..

I think I have lost the ability to express out my thoughts in both writing and speech. Sooner or later, only dear will understand me.. cos we can telepathy. ;)

The haze is so bad today. I wish I can install filters on all the windows so that only the purified air comes in.

The washing machine has stopped running. Think its time for me to hang the clothes. Will the haze stink my clothes? Shall I hang my clothes indoor instead?

Going to universal studio next week. Looking forward!

Should I cook tonight? But I am lazy to get out of the house!

Dear better come home earlier today.. I am dying of boredom.. and still refusing to do homework.

When can I be a Tai Tai?

When can I go for my honeymoon? Is it even possible? Both of us cant seem to find a good timing..

This post is sooooo random. Shall end.

U WAIT!

2010-09-29T20:05:00.002+08:00

Its ok with I did something wrong. I would have acknowledged it and learn from it.

But its not ok if someone else did something wrong and I get blamed for it. Esp when I had no idea abt it until the wrong was done! ROAR!

u wait. U WAIT!

Auditors are coming!

2010-08-18T22:57:00.003+08:00

The auditors are coming!

I used to check on financial documents.. checking for audit issues.. even spotting forgery cases.. hehe.. a sense of achievement swells in my head for a moment. =p

Now now some pple are going to check on my school's documentation.. -_-'

That's a different feeling altogether...

Ever since I started here, I have been trying to make changes to the processes.. adding checks.. building up controls.. well... I started small.. what big changes can u expect from one who is still struggling to understand the processes? Many a times I suffer heart attacks from sudden realisation or through briefings that I went for.. I only hope that whatever controls we have put in place has helped to close some gaps. Bosses seems supportive for now.. Hoping for the best.

Pray!

Nightmare-dun like

2010-06-22T21:30:00.001+08:00

PEK CHEK and helpless.

2010-01-12T18:36:00.003+08:00

first post of 2010 and it shall be one of frustration and ranting.
i am not happy with my current job.
i dun like the job scope and i dun like the fact that i am staying becos of the $.
within these 4 mths, i lost 4 kg.
and if u are my family members, i plead that u dun tell my parents.
they will kill me before all the stress kills me.
initially i tot its nice losing weight.
but i changed my mind when i started realising that i am losing 1 kg per mth.
shit.
perhaps its all the stress. from house to rom to new job.
but definitely most of it is from the job.
pay is good but i dun feel happy.
maybe i am just not suited for it.
or maybe the job just doesnt suit anyone.
went for a course today. seems like i am not the only one ranting abt this post.
but of cos there are some who can tahan and remained standing.
i am just one of the many whom cant tahan.
seeing the pimples on my face add further stress.
how am i to be a beautiful bride?
mum just called.
she asked if i want to drink chicken essence.
i got very worked up.
cos i am not losing weight cos i am not eating!
fine, i skip my lunch.
but so what? I am eating my other meals!
and i didnt purposely skip em. i dun have the time! i dun feel like eating! i dun wana force myself to eat!
and i definitely dun wan em to blame my dear for it. not that they are. but i dun wan it to happen!
i am so stressed up and upset and angry! not at mum. not at anyone. just myself! for i cant decide on wat i want!
if i were to quit, finances will be tight!
but if i were to continue, life aint happy.
i dun wan to get married and feel worried abt job undone at work.
i dun wan to go on a honeymoon and think abt work.
damn. i dun even know if i have time to go on a honeymoon.
someone enlighten me.
someone give me a job.
damn.

and i warn u. dun tell my parents. dun tell my aunts. i just want to vent my frustration here.
PEK CHEK!

I am still Ms Jacqueline Wong

2009-12-24T00:14:00.002+08:00

I really should be sleeping now but I just cant help logging in to post perhaps my last blog entry and sign off as Ms Jacqueline Wong.

Sigh. After today, I will not be able to circle "single" nor "Ms" on all application forms etc.
Mrs Jacqueline Liu. That sounds soooooo weird!
And he still get to keep his "Mr" and surname. *hmmph!*
So unfair!

25th Dec- Our ROM, Our Housewarming, XMAS day. 3 celebrations all in 1 day. How memorable rite? How tiring rite? Somemore our Ji xiang ri too...

Seems like I got nothing interesting to write abt. Or rather, I am just too tired to type le.. =p

Well then...

Goodnite! and Merry Christmas!!!
Hope Santa will bring us lots of joy and laughters and no rain on 25th Dec!

Yours,
MISS Jacqueline WONG.

Missing you

2009-12-05T09:50:00.002+08:00

Meow Me.. I am missing you..
We met up with Shiwei the videographer on one of the weekdays evening and was discussing abt the scenes to be captured. One of it includes the proposal scene.. which is abt you too..
I asked dear whether you felt scared then. He couldnt answer me. True he wont know. But I know you did. I have been thinking about you again since then... I thought abt the very 1st night you spent with me. How you tried to play with me, opening and closing your claws.. climbing onto my face. If you are still here, I guess you will be quite heavy. You should have got over the diarrhoea phase le. Then now with our preparation for the new house, we will also be making preparation for your shift to our house. =( Getting emo all over again. Miss you me me..

Unhappy

2009-11-13T19:57:00.002+08:00

Feeling so cold! 2 sick pigs and 1 sick monkey. =(
Boo!
And I still got to go to sch tomorrow. I am sooooooooooooooooooooo unhappy!

Motivated?

2009-11-11T21:47:00.003+08:00

I took the train home today and overheard a couple's conversation.
This lady was saying that she used to be very motivated to go to work.
She would wake up feeling full of energy and look forward to her job.
I wonder how many people actually have this kinda job.

Well.. not me for sure. =(

Going for my first fitting on Sunday. So fat.... how to wear?
Boo!

I remembered I got something interesting to blog abt .. but cant recall now.
Jialat.. I really need ginko...

omg.

really cant remember......

Time flies

2009-11-01T19:51:00.012+08:00

We met up with Ray e ID again yesterday. This time round to conclude the wardrobe internal layout, paint colour, structure colours etc etc. October seems to pass by so quickly. Most prob we will be ahead of schedule. =) Better keep my fingers crossed though.. you never know what hiccups may come.

Received a sms from Bee Geok yesterday.. seems like the rumours over at their side is really true. Most of them are goin to be deployed to ... god knows where.. Stupid D and S.. all their fault. If I were still there, think the pent up anger within me will make my face burst out in horrible pimples. Its really lucky for me that I left. But if I were to be there still, my choice will definitely be- to be deployed elsewhere. Staying behind will definitely not be a choice I would make. Guess I do have some luck in me somehow....

Back to homework.. yes homework.. haiz.

Love! Happy 26th!

2009-10-29T23:13:00.000+08:00

Warmth enveloped me when I saw the DIY card.
So many love messages!!! and what a lovely surprise!
Its really simple things like this that can really make me feel sooooo loved. =)
I thought the card was from dear himself.
But a closer look revealed well wishes from dad, mum, jack, sylvia, yenwei, yenling, irine, pei pei, shawn's dad, shawn's mum, shawn's sis samatha and even Jasmine and Yuefen!!!
Shawn always used to have his surprises thwarted by me.. but when he combine his power with everyone else, I fail miserably.. they really caught me by surprise. =) I love you all!
Muack! Muack! Muack!

Monday Blues

2009-10-18T22:22:00.002+08:00

Didnt really enjoyed my weekend.
Been feeling the monday blues since sunday morning.
And fri evening was spent asking dear to distract me from work.
How nasty can this be?!

I think I need a holiday... Even a short one will do... But dun think that is possible in the near future. Nov n Dec seems to be super packed with things to do.. damn.. is this really the job for me? Clash with my rom somemore. haiz..

This job aint boring. In fact its so intereeesting! So many things to learn... unlike my previous job.. whereby the scope kinda got stagnant... I dun mind learning.. but I find it really tiresome to search for information all ard the place n then having to figure how the information flows (n hoping that the info aint obsolete)... This makes me realised how good the intranet system was at my previous company.Super user friendly intranet. even the people finder is so much more user friendly.

Sigh.

Doubt I would even take leave on my birthday.

=(

hate writing minutes

2009-10-14T22:38:00.002+08:00

i hate writing minutes.

haiz.

esp of meetings conducted in "foreign languages".

sigh...

My aim is to give birth to twins so that dear can bestow on me the title of Tai Tai.

Just some updates for the house..
Renovation begun last week... yes right before PSLE.. we didnt realise.. But the piling was over in 2 days. =) Floor cemented. Common bathroom, one side of the tiles are up. Master Bedroom, the portion that is supposed to be laid with tiles are done. Realised that after setting aside space for our huge fridge, washing machine and hob and hood or hub or watever, the surface area left over on our solid surface top is really super pathetic. I need some ideas. I need...................................................................$$............................................... I need MORE TIME!..................... I need to lose more weight.................................................. I need to have regular lunch............................................................... I need to buy my silver shoes..................................................... I need to strike toto.......................................... I need a lot of things. I need a fairy god mother.

sigh. this is such an random and unorganized post.

sigh. I need to complete my minutes.

=) =(

2009-09-28T23:04:00.002+08:00

Home updates:
We went to see our design on sunday morning.

Anyone wana sponsor me my tv? microwave? vacuum? blender? iron? renovation? =p Oh ya our Interior Designer is 2Forms. Ray's the guy aka the boss and we love his concepts. Just not that bold enuff to leave our kitchen wall tile-less. hehe..

One last pt... "restore them back asap pls".

Arrrgh!

2009-09-15T18:36:00.002+08:00

Arrrgh!
Lemi wake up feeling more confident in speech and actions ya?
I really need Ginko this time. Let my brain process faster ya?
This is worse than studying. Give me exams anytime.
Can I survive 2 yrs and more????
Or is this just a phrase all new XX suffer from?
Damn.

You know what I really want?
To be a great XX.
I think I would like to continue in this job for more than 2 years. But can I do it??
Damn.

sigh

2009-09-15T17:20:00.001+08:00

sigh.

Great & Sad.

2009-08-26T12:56:00.004+08:00

Was feeling great yesterday.

First attempt at Fried Bee Hoon for lunch. Received good compliments. Lovely feeling. =)

Then dear and I went to visit Meow Me at 232 again. Miss her loads.
There are more pictures ard hers. More frens to accompany her.
Took some pics but cant seem to upload. Sianz.

Thereafter, dear and I went on a date. =) We wanted a refreshing change... to reminiscence those days of "pak toh-ing" before we got together memories. But wasnt really successful.
Cannot hold hands- Fail. Its an automatic action.
Cannot share drinks- Fail. Why waste $$ buy le cant finish.
Getting to know you questions- Super fail. This simply is the last straw. I cant stop laughing.

Then we went to catch UP (3D) at The Cathay. First time watching 3D movies. Nothing much leh I feel. Perhaps its the movie. Maybe something more action packed would be good.

Had dinner at Waraku (Heerens)where I simply cant decide on what to eat. End up with some spicy udon which is more salty than spicy. Not satisfied... maybe cos I was still thinking of the Sashimi Salad I had at Suki Sushi with Laura & Raymond the day before... Simply delicious.

Yaya.. I went to Orchard again.. despite me exclaiming abt e horrible bird dropping incident in the previous post. Was on a mission mah. *grinZ*

We went to Paragon next... Longchamp.. Dun have the limited edition bag I wanted... =(
Dropped by Burberry to "miao" the bags. Sigh. How I wish I have one.. How I wish I have one.. Wish I have one.. Wish I have one.. How I wish I have one.. Wish I have one.. I have one.. Wish I have one... How I wish I have one... Hmm.. Re-read this para?

Starting work present. Literally a direct translation of "Kai Gong Li Wu!!!" =)
Thanks dear! Muacks!!!

Oh but this morning, I had a bad dream. Dreamt that Meow Me jumped out of the window again. And I wasnt fast enough to catch her. Woke up with a shout and a very bad feeling in my heart. Cant remember what I shouted too. Sigh.

Her birthday

2009-08-23T21:30:00.000+08:00

Today is Meow Me's birthday.
She would have been 1 yr old.
I miss you Me Me...

How suay can it get?

2009-08-23T00:56:00.003+08:00

OK so who can be more suay than me today? Or technically yesterday cos its now 12.55am.

Was shopping at orchard and kena bird shit not once BUT TWICE!
Where the hell does all the birds come from?
Why me of all people?! So many pedestrians on the pavement!
And why not Shawn!?! Ok that's bad... but what I really meant was why am I so suay?!?!
WHY ME?!?!

We were already on the way to the carpark when suddenly, the freaking bird shit dropped on my right forearm. Black slimy stuff! Biangz!!!!! But nevermind! Relax! Dear wiped it away for me then we proceed to Heerens with the intention to wash my hands. But just before we entered Heerens, something hit my hair. I said "shit!" and quickly asked Shawn to take a look for me. Luckily, its just some aircon water or sthin. After washing my suay hand, we crossed the road but instead of getting the car, I decided to make a U-turn to taka just to take a look at sthin. Walk walk walk... wrong choice loh!

Piak again!!!
And this time right in the middle of my forehead!
Wat the ^!%@&!*^#(O@&!#*)P@!#({@!(#@!)_(&#^*(!&%^$#&!@%&^(*#)!_@+!
This time I really gave a shout loh!!! But not that loud to attract attention from anyone (I hope!)
But luckily its not much. Brown this time!
WHY ME AGAIN?!!?!

Cleaned up at taka, shop a bit and went home.
Wat a horrible day. Twice in a day.

Going to buy 4d tomolo.
Not goin to orchard unless obsolutely necessary. Now I hate birds even more! GRRRR!!!

p/s: nope shawn didnt laf. Cos I was already angry with him prior to all the shit.

Farewell to colleagues

2009-08-16T12:20:00.005+08:00

14th August was my last day at the bank. Had mixed feelings on that day.
Glad to leave for a career change but sad to leave my wonderful colleagues.
The memories we shared aint replaceable.
Its not as if everything was smooth sailing.. not as if everything was all smiles and laughters.
But it is all those memories and experiences, good and bad, that allowed me to grow throughout the five & a half year stay there. I have learnt and gained a lot there. And all these are not possible without the wonderful colleagues.

Still remember my first day at AMK br on 3rd Feb 04. The first person I spoke to was Kanita. She looked so serious and fierce looking. As time pass, realised that she is such a fun person to be with. Raymond was my shi fu. The crappy but fun "mentos" colleague. Laura the gentle lady. Betty Boo the strict but great teacher. TPG the SDB in charge who kept passing stuff to me. haha.. Good in a way cos I learnt more things too. Yvonne Chua whom I learnt abt the sales process from. And so many other colleagues like Susan Lim, Susan Han, Siew Fong, Angeline, Serene, Soo Fern, Ginelle, Emily, Laywee, Jovan, Andy, Wei Chye etc etc whom taught me stuff in one way or another.

A great change came when my role as Sales Support Officer was centralised at SWB. That was on 10th Oct 05. When I first met up with my team 3 colleagues, I was secretly forming my own impression of them. Bee Geok-Fierce and unfriendly. Cynthia & Joanne- Super friendly. Grace- Unfriendly. Hilary- Happy go lucky. Suat Teng- Friendly. But as time pass, everyone got along so well and the bond was very strong in the team. Dont judge a book by its cover... this was wat I learnt.=) Miss those days.... We had such fun and laughter. No wonder our boss Kim like our team so much. hahaha.. i think ba.. Cos when the group was restructured, most of us at team 3 was actually assigned critical roles. Going to bhb a bit here.. Bee, Cyn and I were also offered positions in the area office but we declined. We love team 3 too much to leave them. It was also during this period of time that Kim promoted me in rank. This recognition though unexpected, was very important to me. It spurred me on to perform even better.

Then there was the time when a "flood" occurred at SWB. Thanks to some air con pipes bursting. It was both horrible and fun. Still remembering wading in the knee height water with the rest.. trying to make sure all the boxes were "saved". Everyone cooperated with great teamwork. I like!

Memories at Hong Lim was just as great. We shifted here in year 2007??... gosh I cant remember! But anyway, we had fun exploring the new place. Lots of new places to eat.. and more shopping can be done during lunch. But it is over here that I realised team 3 was really starting to lose its members.. Suat Teng resigned whilst we were at SWB, Joanne left us for a change in role, Grace resigned, Cyn transferred and subsequently got retrenched... Leaving only Bee, Fang and Me. But it was also over here that my frenship with colleagues like Rei, Sharon, Shirley, Carole etc grew. There there was Allan (Ali) whom I kept bullying. haha.. And my lover Farha..... So many things happened there. So many teething issues with each change, the High Notes issue which "brought us" the days of dust and boxes. Somehow felt that there is a clash in my sheng cheng ba zhi and the hong lim office. Things were not as smooth sailing. Bad news came to find me whilst I was in there. Mum fell ill and there were visits to the hospital for checks ups, one of my favourite aunt pass away... my meow me came into my life but left abruptly.

Had a lovely time snapping shots with the colleagues on 13th & 14th Aug. But what I really wish for was a group photo of the whole CSO team... but sad to say it aint possible with the 50plus people all hard at work. Though I doubt anyone in office erm.. I mean ex-office.. knows abt the existence of this blog, I will still like to thank them for the wonderful presents and treats here. Ate so many rounds of good food that I felt so heavy during the last week!

Ok enuff!!

So as I leave this office for a post in MOE, I bring along with me the wonderful memories and experiences. Truely hope that I will be able to thrive in the new position. Canteen food here I come!

Counting Down

2009-08-08T00:35:00.003+08:00

Counting down to my last day at work... ...
Strictly speaking.. it shall be 4 more days.
But I doubt there will be any work for me to do on next friday.. So its only 3 more work days.
But then again... KM might just want to make full use of me.. hahaha...

Packed some of my barang barang today.. cos dear met me for lunch and I may just as well dump the barang barang into his car. Realised that I have got a collection of ornaments and soft toys... All given by my wonderful colleagues over the years. Got a collection of Keychains too.. =) Managed to put the stuff into 1 copier paper box. Not much squeezing too.. but machiam like being sack like that.. haha.. Shit. I nearly forgot my Meow Meow Cup!! Must remember!!! Given by ex boss Jacklyn for my bdae a few yrs back!

As I was looking through my medical claims, realised that I have been visiting the doc quite a lot this yr. Too weak perhaps? Or stressed until sick? =p
But no sickness beat the recent cold I have got. Amendment. Should be no sickness beat the cold I am still recovering from. Been to the doc 3 times over a period of 3 weeks. Stupid cold... made me spend so much $$ and made me take so many days of mc. Later pple tot I purposely one... But seriously, this is the worse cold I have had. Sore throat. Sneezing. Cold. Block nose. Block ears. Eye Infection. Only thing worthy of all this undesirable feeling is the loss of 1kg! hahaa... Better than exercising!! Better than diarrhoea!! Opps!

Oh ya we went to DFS today. Took a look at the bags at Burberry and Coach. Should I get the Burberry one? Keeping my options open!!! But I cant bear to part with the $$$!! His $$$ also my $$$ leh!!! I am sooooooooo bad! *Pout*

Gosh, its late. Gotta sleep soon. Going for our 1st appt with HDB tomolo. Followed by lunch at dear's Ma Ma house and painful facial at Maggie's. Hopefully we can squeeze in time for a quick stopover at IMM. Choosing of suitable Interior Designer is such a headache!! Same goes for gown designs!!! Headache ah!!!! -_-"

Tendered! House & Gown!

2009-07-30T21:10:00.000+08:00

Did I mentioned that I tendered?
Yesh I finally tendered!!!
Round of applause for me...
Whether its a push or pull factor, I finally made the step which been one of my yearly resolution.
Stay any longer and I will really be stuck at my comfort zone...

So 14th August 2009 will be my last day with the bank. It could have been earlier had it not been the fact that I took more annual leaves than entitled for the past few mths. haha...

Will be going to the MOE.
Not as a teacher definitely! Too impatient for that!

I need more formal wear!!!
I want a nice new bag! KateSpade anyone?! Burberry?! or LV?!
Or maybe I should just set the $$$ aside for my reno.. sigh...
Hey anyone got a good lobang for ID? We've been looking ard for ever so long... So picky!!!
Must find a good one with reasonable rates for our future home mah~ =)
I cant wait for our home to be all done up!
And my Eclipse bed... I cant wait!!!

Went for my ROM bridal gown fitting last weekend.
Settled on a simple lacy dress... nothing too fanciful.. cos I will be holding the ROM at our new home. =)
As for the bridal gown... the choices are soooo limited. So sad!
Got to continue searching for the ideal designs for my MTM gowns. I still cant decide!!!
Dear says I am giving myself too much stress... =(
Luckily I have him with me. Love u!

Jacqueline Wong hates her stomach.

Ok that is fb style.

But blogspot style, it will be...

I hate my irritable stomach! I hate irritable bowel syndrome!

I hate having constipation then diarrhoea then non stop diarrhoea!

I hate having to go! non-stop.............

Hate the pain! Hate the tiredness I feel.

Hate how exhausted I feel after each round.

My shoulder is sooooo tired from this. I need a massage badly!

Lastly, I hate the ironic part on how this diarrhoea isnt making me lose weight.

And nope.. I didnt take slimming tea or pills or whatever.

And yes.. I already stayed away from milk.

Its just not fair suffering from diarrhoea and not having any benefits like losing some weight!

WHATEVER!

**DOuble SNAP**

on a lighter note, we collected our wedding bands from GoldHeart yesterday. =)

Pre-wedding Casual Photoshoot

2009-06-25T21:57:00.002+08:00

Pre-wedding casual photos taken at Botanical Gardens...

Cant wait to see all the photos... =)

Tendered!

2009-06-21T22:36:00.012+08:00

Signed the letter of offer on thursday and tendered on friday.
Five years plus.. and finally made the move to step out of my comfort zone.
Cant believe I got a job just after one interview. =)

Well.. one month should be over real soon, just hope that everything goes smoothly.
As for the new job.. well.. challenges ahead.. and YES I CAN!

well.. that's dear's words.

for me... I WANT TO!

More Preparation

2009-06-21T22:36:00.011+08:00

I am dead tired.........

However, just a quick update on what we have been busy with.. For the past few weeks, we have been visiting the library to get interior decor and bridal magazines for reference. In addition, we popped down to IMM last weekend to get some quotations for a rough gist of the reno cost for our dream home. As expected, $$$ poses some constraints.. However, with the help of Aunt's interior designer fren, we managed to get some ideas on how to save cost and still achieve the concept we want. Basically the concept is there.. the layout designs are there.. just still some squabbling abt the false ceiling.. haha.. expected.. But luckily, as at now, volcanoes have only been rumbling.. nothing erupted yet. =p Yesterday, we went to Sungei Kadut and source for furnitures. After a long day, we committed to a sofa, dining table & chairs, TV console and a coffee table at Forms by City Furniture. I esp like the sofa. =) Committing to a purchase on the first day of furniture hunting seems quite like a rash act eh? We did feel a bit thoughtful at the end of the day too.. Dun wan it to be another "everbliss act" too... But after some considerations, both Shawn and I felt that its a great buy. =) As long as we are happy... In addition, 5 yrs warranty & the option to change our design does add on to the pros factor.
Some pics.. =)

And the next reason on why I am so tired is cos we went for a outdoor photoshoot today.

And nope, its not the bridal photoshoot... More of a leisure photoshoot agreement dear had with a Thai guy called Jack. No exchange of monetary gains.. just a win win agreement whereby Jack will get a chance to take our photos and build up his portfolio whereas we get a free copy of the photos he took. We took like 280+?? photos at the Botanical Gardens.. Sweated like anything.. But the tiredness was worth it. His works are great! Initially I tot it will just be a 1 man with 1 SLR type. But he actually had an assistant.. and props like the big circular stuff.. and even a cool gadget to show us some concepts he had. Not to mention a remote control for duno light or flash stuff which we didnt end up using.. haha.. 3 thoughts from this photoshoot,

1. I must must bring a cooling fan during our actual photoshoot. Better still if the MUA will be with us.. But its not in our package!

2. Poses!! Lots of them are needed! But then again, I am sure the bridal photographer has many standard poses for us to use. We were like "so drained of poses" today.

3. The need to be thick-skinned during photoshoot. Was really embarrassed today.. posing in a public park under the eyes of the many people walking ard.. But once we get into the mood, the rest of the pple just fades away. Only have eyes for my love. hahaha... =p

Okie shall end here.. Really am falling asleep!!

p/s: Having you in my life is one of the best things that can ever happen to me... ...

Progresssss..

2009-06-07T16:01:00.000+08:00

2009-05-28T22:50:00.002+08:00

Finally... I dreamt of her last nite...

She jumped into my arms. Such a wonderful feeling...

Let's do this again shall we?

Esp with rgds to my character and stuffs. =p
And so with the dates available, we got to start hunting for dinner venue le.

Hope everything goes well...

Attended primary sch fren-Siling's wedding at Hilltop Garden Restaurant at Bukit Batok just now. Thought of the day--- Love the pure n innocent frenship shared with primary sch mates. Haven had such a hearty laugh for ages. =) Hopefully more to come!

Welcome Back!

2009-05-10T22:55:00.003+08:00

And the man of my life is finally back from USA. Since friday 8 May.
4mths 5 days.... Finally~~ Ani longer I will go berserk!!!
Was so excited on thursday nite that I could hardly sleep.
His dad picked me up at 630am and we were still at Khatib when dear called to say he has reached Spore. But timing was alright cos he took some time to shop at the DFS and also collect his luggage. His dad waited for us at the departure entrance whilst I went downstairs to the arrival hall to "pick him up". =) Dunno why we ended up driving to the departure level too.. too excited I guess...
And nope.. No running towards each other and no tearing. Not so drama!
Just a great big and long huggie. =)
He smells so nice! Ermm... even though he never bathe for 36 hrs plus..
I MISSED U SO! SMELLY OR NOTZ!

And so we went back home but not without stopping at Chong Pang to get him some nasi lemak and chee cheong fun as breakfast. =) Local food.. How can he resist? Home cooked food.. Home brewed soup.. Mango~~.. Chicken Porridge by moi.. Food cooked by MaMa this morning.. Yu Pian Mee Fen.. Some of the many food he ate these 3 days. More to come!
Somehow he didnt seemed to gain as much weight as what he told me the other time.. Just 2kg difference. -___-" but still its a gain. And bigger arms and broader shoulders. I like! =p

Will be sticking to him like a leech over the next 2 weeks.. impt stuffs to settle! Time to seriously start planning!
Hopefully, we will not end up fighting.. hahaha....
Oh ya.. we will be going to KL.. -__-" but well... better than nothing.... gonna catch him n smu peeps in action at the KL Opens too. Go SMU Go!

Decision.

2009-04-29T22:30:00.003+08:00

Just a week ago, I was so much looking forward to our trip to US.
New York..Niagara Falls.. Grand Canyon..Las Vegas..Los Angelas..San Fran.
Something I had been looking forward to since Jan.
My luggage is almost packed.
And now I had to make the decision.
With it, I feel so terribly sorry for making dear upset n worried.
And I spoilt his fren-Ryan's plans too.
I weighed 2 sides of the decision.
Been thinking abt it since sunday.
I am even willing to suffer substantial losses.
For I feel that the impact of goin is too unpredictable and I really dun wan to think abt her bein worried abt our safety.
I feel so guilty.
So sorry.

1 mth has gone..

2009-04-19T21:10:00.006+08:00

Its exactly one month Meow Me...

And I still miss u so..

Though I no longer get all teary when I talk abt u,

but the lump in my throat is hard to swallow whenever I am alone thinking of u...

Everyone still misses u so...

Just a couple of nites before, ur ah gong came into our room and was looking at my laptop wallpaper.. a pic of u and me taken outside baby sitter's house.

I took out a few photos of u and he took it outside to admire...

Ever complimenting how cute u are.

I have been wanting to upload all ur photos and videos but never got down to doing it.

Guess.. I dun have the courage to do so.

You know what I mean...

The joy u gave us. Irreplaceable.

Our love for u. Neverending.

Hope u are playing with the mouse I left for u at 232.

Hope u read the note and like the paper ball.

Hope u enjoyed the piece of huat kuey we brought for u...

Missing you...

2009-04-01T22:41:00.003+08:00

Meow Me...
It has become a routine for me to stare at that spot downstairs whilst on the way back from work. It has also become a routine for me to mutter ur name when I reach home.
Kissing ur collar n Meow Me every morning and nite.. hugging u to sleep. Jane called earlier this week.. she found out wat happened when she saw ur daddy's msn nick. It seems like only yesterday that we were all at her house, where I first saw you... play with you.. cuddle you... Meow Me.. I miss u..

Of photos and Ur food...

2009-03-27T00:03:00.001+08:00

Dear Meow Me,
I will be going to Indonesia this weekend for prayers and wont be goin to visit u at 232. But I will go next week.. Hope u wont be angry with me..
I have just passed Yenling n sis their thumbdrive with ur photos and video clips. Yenwei will burn it into a cd for me... Then I will also upload it here n at ur facebook group. Whilst looking thru the photos, I realised that you didnt took any photos with Ah gong.. Jack uncle etc.. even Po Po.. Quite saddening to realise this.. =(

A brief conversation with a colleague today left me really mad with anger. The way she described the life of her kid's hamster made me so furious I felt like shouting at her. But of cos I didnt, but not without giving her a very stern look and some harsh words on keeping pets.

I passed ur Benebac to my colleague Corrine today. Hopefully whatever benefits this supplement brought to u brings to her doggies too.. As for ur dry food and supplement, Jack uncle has already passed it to his fren. Hope his cats like the food.. Will be calling up AMK with rgds to ur I/D and pro kolin tomolo.

Meow Me... I gtg le. Its a very short entry today... feeling quite tired. But I really dun mind a dream of u.. pls.... Nitey Me Me...

Please...

2009-03-24T23:35:00.004+08:00

Dear Meow Me..
Ur uncle Jack skidded on his bike whilst on the road today.
Kena some scratches. The bike suffered some scratches too. The same bike that u rode on a few times remember?
My baby.. pray for the family well being ok? We cant afford to have any more unfortunate events le. Our heart cant take it... Please? I love u...

By now, ur ashes will have been surrounded by those of ur little frens. Do hope that you guys & gals are building up wonderful friendships and everything is fine. I am thinking of visiting u at 232 Whitley Road on sunday. Will let u know again.. Let me know if u need anithing by coming into my dreams tonite ok? U haven appeared in my dreams at all.. noti cat.. ur mummy misses u a lot wor.. Let me dream of u tonite ok? ..please...

I had a bit of conflict with ur dad today. Feels that he is being insensitive to how I am feeling now. Sigh. Would it be different if he were here too? Is it really that difficult? Time. Management. Time Management.

7th Month Birthday

2009-03-23T22:34:00.002+08:00

Today is ur 7th mth birthday Meow Me...
And tomolo is the day you will be cremated..
Between 10-11am at e Mt Pleasant Animal Hospital at 232 Whitely Road..
I called today to find out more.. to ask questions I had been too distraught to ask on that fateful day... They said there will be a patch of grass in front of the dry well and I can place some little toys etc for you.
Jack said that we can go and pay a visit soon.
But of cos, u will be up in heaven most of the time correct?
I walked pass a cat today.. And she looks sweet.. just like u.. but of cos u are sweeter.
I teared a bit when I was under our blk.. for I was looking towards that area where u landed.
It must have hurt. I am sorry baby..

Remember ur favourite song? Twinkle Twinkle Little Star?
The song I always sing to u whilst I fed u medicine or cleaned ur ears.. just to calm u down.. Tonite, I shall sing it for u again.. just before I sleep..

You are the star in the heaven.. shining down upon us..
Sparkling like a diamond... Bringing smiles to our heart.

Sleep tight Meow Me.

Breaking the news to Babysitter family..

2009-03-21T23:05:00.002+08:00

Dear Meow Me..

I broke the news of ur departure to Yenling and family last nite. Whilst they were cabbing home.. They were on a trip to Hongkong remember? I didnt want to shock them when they walk over and see the plastic mesh removed. They are sure to walk over to look at you..

They broke down too... They were in shock too.. Yes my dear.. they love u too... how can I not like u? They mourned for u.. I was so sorry to end their trip with the news.. When Po po and I told them wat happened, we couldnt control ourselves and tears just rolled down once again... Po Po mentioned how pained she felt when she carry u.. how pitiful u were with the bleeding and meowing away. It really broke her heart. It broke mine too... to hear of ur dreadful state and the pain she felt.. She had to take gastric pills yesterday and she felt rapid heart beats the day before. She really was in pain my dear... When the family left, I followed Po Po to her room.. laid down next to her and cried with her.. hugged her... She told me how pained she felt.. for you spent most of ur time with her.. she was upset that she didnt managed to prevent the accident and that u were gone... I had to assured her again and again that nobody is to be blamed.. Meow Me.. u dun blame anyone of us rite? Should u blame us, pls put all the blame on me... for I am ur mother and I am the one who is responsible for ur well-being... I am sorry Meow Me...

This morning, I went over to their house. Got Yenwei to show me the present she bought for u. Yes baby, they bought a gift for u... A pineapple-shaped "house" for u to sleep in.. It was lovely.. Really pretty.. We couldnt help but cried again... I could see u playing in it.. curling urself up in it.. pouncing at the green leaves on top.. You would have loved it so much! But unfortunately, u left even before u can see it.. I see no point in accepting the gift though I appreciate their kindness very much.. For having it in the house will make everyone miserable.. I am sure u understand what I mean love. So thank them and bless them too ok?

In the afternoon, we went to the Guan Yin Temple today to pray for u.. Po Po, Jack, Sylvia, Pei Pei and me. I prayed for ur safety and that you will be well in heaven.. It was raining heavily and I was reminded of how frightened u are of thunder. Po po once mentioned to me that you came meowing to her when the thunder roared. I hope u managed to overcome ur fears with the help of ur little frens. Its nothing my dear.. just sthin to do with air pressure. I had ur collar in my pocket all the while.. It felt nicer this way I feel.

On the way home, we saw the rainbow. A lovely rainbow which was quite comforting. Perhaps you asked them to show us the rainbow? Were u and ur frens playing on it? Hopefully u like the rainbow too.. the very first rainbow u have seen I believe...

Darling dear.. just now I heard Ah Gong mentioning abt you.. That his heart still pained for u.. You aint there to greet him anymore.. no blacky nose for him to rub anymore.. no more flipping over onto ur back on the kitchen floor.. You will be missed dearly..

My baby... as u will have felt.. ur departure meant a lot to all of us.. the loss is unmistakeningly a heavy one... We all have a common wish.. to wish u well in heaven.. once again I pray.. rest in peace Meow Me..

Missing you Meow Me...

2009-03-20T21:48:00.004+08:00

You know, Meow Me, I woke up this morning still hugging ur sister.
The sound from ur collar bell on her sounds so very familiar.
It was as if I could picture it on you once again. You lying there on my bed once again...
If only... if only...

It felt very different this morning.
You werent there. Not by my bedside.. not in the kitchen room.. Not at the main gate..
No one for me to feed..
I called out for u in the bathroom.. Did you heard me?
When I opened the bathroom door, u werent lying there waiting for me, between the washing machine and the door. I stared for a while.
When I automatically close the toilet door again, I felt the feeling again.
The realization that you aint here anymore. The truth dawned on me again..
There's no longer the need to close the door.. For u wont go into the bathroom anymore. Would you?

When I left the house, you werent there at the gate.
When I came home, you werent there too.
Where were u?
The gate felt so strange without the plastic mesh.. The mesh that ur daddy n me put up for u on 14th Dec 2008.

I thought of u whilst on the way to work. While walking, while on the train.
Couldnt help but think of you. Ur blue eyes.. ur blackish left front paw...
Tears just welled up in my eyes and I had to close them to prevent them from flowing down.
I tried swallowing them.. I tried. I looked up. I tried to think of other stuff.. But all I had was images of you. As I passed by the cats at the chinese medicine shop, I just had to look away. Why cant my dear baby just be like them? Its the same at work. I had to go to the washroom a couple of times. I couldnt help tearing when my colleagues asked abt u. I tried to distract myself. But ended up writing ur name on the paper.. on my calender. I phoned home thrice.. just to check on Po po. Her voice sounded weird in the morning. Remember how close u were to her? How u spend most of ur time with her?

On my way home from work, I wondered, if I were to meet another cat exactly like u, would I want to keep her? My answer was a firm no. Though you and her will look the same, but its not the same. You are unique. You are irreplaceable. There's only one Meow Me. Surprisingly, mum asked me the same question whilst I was having dinner. Perhaps we do have telepathy.. Or were u asking us? With tears in my eyes, I told her the same. Never. There is only enough space in my heart for one Meow Me.

We are goin to the temple tomorrow... to pray for you my dear. To bless u.. for ur safety in heaven. Hope that you have made frens with the rest of the little frens.. Share our love with them... But remember our love for u doesnt stop yesterday.. it doesnt end tomorrow.. its here forever.. never fading... You are a gift to me... A surprise filled with love... a symbol of love.. a giver of love and receiver of love.. My love. You will always be in my heart. Bless u Meow Me...

In Memory of Meow Me ~ 23rd August 2008- 19 March 2009

2009-03-19T20:23:00.004+08:00

Meow Me jumped out of the window and passed away this morning.
Mum and Jack were looking for her and Jack saw her body lying downstairs.
When they rushed her to Mount Pleasant, she was still breathing and meowing away.
But soon after, Dr Kasey declared that she has passed on.
When I finally retrieved my hp from my bag and discovered so many missed calls, I quickly called back. But I was too late. Too late.
When I reached the clinic, Meow Me was already cleaned and place in the consultation room.
That was the room Dr Pauline attended to her the other time round.
Seeing my poor Meow Me lying there made me broke down even more.
My darling... My poor baby.. There was blood at her mouth still and her legs had stains.
Why did she have to jump? My poor Me Me... As I knelt down and look at her, she looked like she was sleeping. Why couldnt she be sleeping. But Jack confirmed that she's gone.
She wasnt cold. She's still as furry. She's still my baby.
Her eyes were partially open. And wont close. I wish I could carry her but I didnt.
I wished I had. I could only kiss her. Stroke her face just the way she love me to. Her black nose seems flatter. I cant imagine how she landed. My baby...............
Perhaps she had jumped out of the window when she saw birds flew past.
This will be so like her.
Easily excited by flying birds and creatures. Very kaypo. Just like her nature.
I dun blame anyone for this for nobody wanted this to happen. It was just that moment that the window was opened. Just for a little while. And she left us. Curiosity really killed my cat.
I popped into AMK and let the staff know too.. and kind Dr Thiru called whilst I was on the cab home and I told him in details..

I remember her licking me awake this morning. Its been quite a while since she last did this. For the past few weeks, she has been sleeping in my parent's room. It was only this week that she started to come into my room to sleep again. This morning at around 5plus am, she licked my legs. I covered my legs with my blanket and she found her way to my hands. She also tried to lay down next to me but when I turned to pat her and check her butt, she jumped off again. I remembered carrying her once to check her butt too...
When I woke up again at 630, so did mum. Next to mum walked Meow Me. Me behind her.
We walked to the kitchen like we were marching. When I came out, she was done with her breakfast. Fed her the morning dosage of Pro Kolin and though she initially resisted, she managed to lick it all from my finger. She just couldnt resist. By the way, her tongue has cute little rough buds which is very ticklish. I closed the balcony door to clean her litter and she laid down next to the glass door. Her pooped was stiff! Finally... after 1 week of diarrhoea. Dr Thiru's stomachgyl worked again. I was so pleased! But when I opened the balcony door, I startled Meow Me. She made a leap at me. So cute. But that was the last leap she did for me... She followed me to the kitchen and attempted to enter the bathroom where mum was washing clothes. Noti Me Me.. I carried her out... Love her adoring look.
Meow Me finally found her way to mum's sewing room and leaped up the ironing table and adjusted herself for her morning routine of lookin at birds from the window. As usual, the window was closed. I grinned at her and thought of taking some photos again. But I didnt cos my hp memory was full and didnt have time to clear space for more. I should have.
She was lying down next to the main gate when I was leaving for work. As usual. Gave her my usual warning again on not leaving the house when I open the door. She was so obedient. She just laid there and watched me. Never attempting to force her way out of the door. I bid her good bye but never realised that was my last to her. If only I had cuddle her once more. If only I wasnt at work today.

Meow Me. I really hoped that you had felt our love showered upon u for the past 3mths. From the every first day that I saw you on 14th Dec 2008, I fell in love with you. From not knowing how to carry you, I learnt to cuddle you, to feed you, to bathe you, cleaned ur butt, cleaned your eyes, ur nose, feed u medicine, play with u, play ur favourite game of hide n seek, clip ur nails, trim ur hair, rub ur tummy, pat ur head, ur nose, scratching ur neck n under ur jaw just the way u love me to. We will always remember you and ur cute little actions. How u dislike my attempts to brush ur fur but end up lying down comfortably when u get used to it, even turning ur sides so that I can complete my brushing. How u get terrified when we carry u into the bathroom for bathes that it hurts our heart. Love ur blue eyes, ur white soft fur, ur long furry tail. Even the way u brushed ur tail across my face. Love ur adoring eyes looking back at me when I carry u. Love the way u stretched urself when u woke up. Love the look in ur eyes when u get ready to pounce. The way u tried to reached for ur tail when I was carrying u. You running round n round trying to chase ur own tail. Your soft purring.. your meowing.. your angry hiss.. Ur breathless panting. The way u rub urself against our legs whilst we prepared ur food. Ur meows when u smelled the food but dun get it cos its not warmed up. U licking at the water tray, ur cute pawing on the ground when u are drinking and after ur meals, the way u lick urself clean after each meal, washing ur own face, licking ur tail, body and butt. The way u jumped up the sofa, the table, the bed and getting all tensed up suddenly. Ur hyperactive ways.. ur dainty walks across the room, ur rolling on the floor beggin for rubs but friendly bites when we tried to rub u... the way u walk into the litter tray, how u outgrew ur first litter tray... how u love hiding in the new litter tray cover when I cleared ur litter.. ur cute little face doing ur business, ur pawing at the sand to cover up ur poo n pee.. How u clumsily misaimed and left poo on the sides of the litter tray.. the time u poo on the floor when I was washing ur litter tray.. ur poo on my legs twice.. Having to clean ur fur when u stain them with poo/pee.. And how I ended up snipping away quite a lot of ur fur twice... How u used to run away when u see me with the cotton buds and ear cleaning solution. Ur noti acts of hiding away under the bed, the cupboard and behind the tv console. Ur curiosity whenever I open the storeroom door. How u actually managed to sneak a bite of roasted meat, and huat kuey not once but twice. How u used to sit below Irine's pet hamster's cage and look at it longingly. Ur jumps at the box in the kitchen, how u hide on the stools under the dining table and pouncing out at me when I walk pass esp at nite when i was trying to get u to sleep in the room, making me jump and finally smile. Ur contented look whilst lying down on the kitchen floor next to the bathroom observing my mum whilst she wash the clothes/ hang the clothes to dry. How u love the shoe rack so much, we cleared the lowest level just for u. How u end up jumping to the 2nd or 3rd level racks, messing up the shoes just to annoy me. How u attempted to paw at the telephone lines.. how u used to love hiding and sleepin on the living room's dining table chair. How u attempted to mess up mum's cloths when she was trying to cut them.. how u leaped all the way from 1 table to another n finally settling down at the sewing machine there. Ur first attempt at the window grilles which made me so mad. How angry u got when u cant get to the tiny area under the ironing table cos I told mum to push the boxes there to block the way. How u managed to get ur way by meowing away standing at that particular spot. You are the queen aint u? Love how u chase after the paper balls, plastic balls and many other little toys ah gong and Popo bought for u. Ur mummy didnt need to buy ur toys for u cos everyone just keeps on contributing to ur growing stash of toys isnt it? Ur love for little paper balls esp. And the way u box at the balls, the way u hold the balls in ur mouth and ran away and come back again. And how u love hiding in paper bags.. and pawing at the luggage bags. How u finally started to like the pink scratching post I got for u.. How u found new hiding grounds one after another.. like in between the boxes under Pei's bed, in between the standing mattresses... Behind the TV console, under the little table in my room. How u jumped into my cupboard of clothes and attempt to snuggle urself by pushing ur way all the way in. How u love to fall asleep on the pile of clothes whilst Popo attempt to fold them. How u sleep in Popo's arm, use her arm as ur pillow.. even shifting urself to position urself into a more comfy sleeping position. The time when u lied down on my lap and fall asleep. We rather suffer the cramps on ur legs and arms then wake u baby. U look so cute even when u are sleeping. Ur many many sleeping postures... How u attempted to peek at Jack by squeezing under the door into the bathroom.. how u ended up being left behind in the bathroom by ah gong when u followed him in.. u were so quiet he didnt know u were inside! And he went all the way to the kitchen to look for u when he heard u meowing u know? He didnt realised u were in the bathroom! Then how u tot we were playing with u when we were sweeping and mopping the floor... You trying to kaypo at the stuffs I swept into the dustpan... U pawing at the door to be let into Jack's room when u felt the aircon from under the door. How u love to lie down on his bed... U lying down at areas I want to sweep and refusing to move. And of cos, how u sometimes managed to flew out of the door before we can close it and always end up getting dirty when u lie down a the the drain or under the pot of plants. And of cos our tours to Baby Sitter's house where u can kaypo more.
And how u always answer my calls by looking at me when I call u.. And not forgetting ur daily waits at the gate for me to reach home every working day evening. Love how u paw the gate.. as though u were trying to reach me.

And of cos there were times my heart pained for u.. Seeing u suffering with the diarrhoea, the loose stool, ear inflammation and steralisation.. all these made me feel so bad. When u came back after ur steralisation, u were so weak and u didnt even meowed once. Your tail drooped and dragged across the floor whilst u walked slowed to the bedroom. Seeing such a sight gave us the sour feeling in our heart. I remembered sleepin in the room u were sleeping, hardly falling asleep just to check if u were alright and making sure u werent licking ur scar. U didnt even have energy to climb into ur litter tray. U didnt want to eat that night and only ate a bit around 5plus am the next day. I even had to feed u with a spoon. But u didnt eat much and I was so worried. But luckily, u recovered and by the 7th day u were getting quite hyper.

Dear Meow Me, there are so many many other scenarios and cute little actions of urs that makes my heart melt but everytime u wasnt well, I felt so helpless. But nevertheless, seeing u overcoming each stage and growing stronger and fatter calms my heart. On 14th March, u were 2.6kg! Everyone loves u. Me, ur daddy Shawn, Po Po, Ah Gong, Jack Uncle, Ur Daddy's Parents and sister too, next door Auntie (Baby Sitter 1), Yenling (Baby Sitter 2), Yenwei (Baby Sitter 3), Uncle, Irine yi yi, Pei Pei yi yi, Darling yi yi, Tommy Uncle, Jasmine yi yi, Yuefen yi yi, Kaiqing yi yi.. Nobody can resist u and love to stroke u. Yes everyone I mentioned has stroked u before , remember? Even Daddy Shawn wasnt with us for past 2 mths plus, he has been giving me a lot of advices and always love it when I showed u to him on the web cam. And u are such a dear.. a beauty.. that even the groomers, AMK clinic staff and doc and also Mt Pleasant staff and doc agreed! Even my colleagues and frens who has seen ur pic says u are so cute and pretty. Visitors to the house said the same. Daddy and myself is so proud of u.

We hope that your 3 months plus time spent with u has allowed u to feel pampered and loved. Though you were sick most of the time, and has been on medication constantly, I know u led a happy life here. There were times I broke down with all the stress but in the end, I never regretted having u. You brought joy to the family and myself. In return we showered our love n care n concern for u. Perhaps life could have been better at another owner's house but I assured u that I have given my best to care for u. My love for u has been and will always be there. Po Po has been very close to u too.. so u must remember and pray for her well being too ok? Truely hope that you have felt the love we showered upon you and left for a better place. I have prayed to my Popo and asked her to look after u. Look for her. She loves cats too.. She will look after u. Over there, dun think u will suffer from diarrhoea anymore. No more sensitive stomach, no more poor digestive system. I have placed ur purple collar around the my cat soft toy neck. Remember her? Blue eyed, "white" and named just like u. She shall wear it and it shall remain in my room. I will not be gettin another cat as no other cats can replace u my dear. Rest in peace Me Me.. I love u.. We Love Meow Me...

Of Meow Me, Shawn and Secret Admirer~

2009-03-05T22:52:00.003+08:00

Just some quick updates on Meow Me, the blue eye princess.. =)

Today's the 7th day since her sterilisation.. Doing quite well now.. in fact running and jumping around.. The scar's still recoverin and she's still tryin to lick it. But the frequency is decreasing though. =) That's good. But ya still biting me as usual. Running to the door to "greet" me after work.. disturbing me when I am clearing her litter.. rolling on the floor in the kitchen and meowing away to gain attention. Think she knows the best way to get attention is to meow loudly. Just on Monday, she started to meow away a while after I left for work. Mum says she came into her room and meow away loudly. Then she went out again and walk around and meow again too. My mum tot she was hungry so prepared her "keropok" for her. But that's not what she wants.. haha.. And my mum just casually mentioned to her "your mummy go to work never tell u ah..." then she stop meowing le. Indeed I never said bye to her on that morning! She was asleep wat... So super duper funny.. Its like she's meowing away cos she cant find me and she wants to know why from my mum.

Then according to my dad, when his alarm clock rang this morning and he didnt woke up, Meow Me started to meow away loudly. Its like she's waking him up! Simply love my cutie pie. Sometimes, I still cant believe it that I have got a cat. Bliss!!!

May as well update abt Shawnie dear too. Like shun bian hor?

Well he's enjoyin himself! He's having his spring break now and he and a few frens took a short holiday to Florida. Currently he's at Orlando Universal Studios. And they visited Disney Land yesterday!! Its shopping trip tomorrow and hopefully I will get a present!! *U better do!! ROAR* And yes he took a photo of Donald Duck for me. =) Tazmania too I hope, for today. Damn.. I am soooooooo jealous! Aint u? But then again, hehe.. I will be joining him at New York City in May. Will be away from work for 17 days!!! Now that's better!!

p/s: Bee n Allan made my day yesterday when they told me that there a sales rep who has been interested in me for some time le.. hehe.. feel so flattered! But he has resigned! So if he doesnt drop by again within this few weeks, I doubt will ever see him again.. haha.. Not that I want him to! Will be so embarrassed!

Meow Me's Sterilisation

2009-02-27T15:05:00.006+08:00

Meow Me was put on a fast since 12midnite yesterday for she is undergoing sterilisation today. Sterilisation is necessary to reduce probability of health problems and also to prevent her from going into heat. Cant imagine what to do if she starts to go into heat and start to caterwaul or run out of the house to look for mate etc.

So this moring, I brought her to AMK clinic. Dr Vanessa examined her and we discussed the probability of her already experiencing silent call heats. More frequent meowing..rolling around.. getting aggressive etc. She bites!! But nope its not painful. =) Hopefully, she haven experienced a real heat for I read online that its healthier for a cat to be sterilised before she goes into heat. But of cos, after is ok too. Got them to help clean her ears too.. For I dun wan to traumatized her after the surgery with ear cleansing. Yes, she still hates to have her ears cleansed. Guess I am still not pro enuff. She behaved quite well last sunday when we brought her for her 2nd basic grooming session and didnt fidgeted too much when the boss cleansed her ear. Well... they are the pros anyway. So anyway, I will be goin to bring her back later at around 6 plus 7. Hope she recovers well and will be back to normal after 48hrs. The house feels so weird without her around. =(

Some of my frens have been asking abt Meow Me's condition. Thanks guys for ur concern and well wishes. Well, I have sort of become a bit bang tang.. so I wont say much except that its easier caring for her now. Hopefully visits to the clinic will no longer be a weekly affair. have been spending my weekends at home to look after her. So frens, pls pardon me if I haven really been able to meet up with u all. Been really taxing both physically, mentally and financially. Twice I broke down and the 2nd time was the worst. I felt so bad and dear was so worried that I will do something stupid. But that's over. No worries. Financially wise, just a few days ago, I finally plucked out enough courage to do up the sums. A few hundreds per mth. Enough for me to buy maybe 2 katespades?. haha. How can I still laugh? but thinking of her slowly making progression sure brings a smile to my face. Though the pain is there in the pocket (and in my knees too!)but nothing brightens up my day as compared to seeing her running to the door when she hears me coming home in the evening after a day at work.. rubbing her head against my leg when she wants food.. her excitement when we play hide n seek.. her pawing at the stupid hole in the floor & rotating round n round the hole thinking that it is a fly or stin...seeing her daintily walk to daddy's room automatically when she is tired at nite, finally settling down at a corner on the floor but waking up in the morning lying next to mum on the bed.. hearing mum telling me abt the noti noti things she does such as lying on the table when mum is cutting clothes.. kicking my mum awake early in the monring at 5 plus 6 asking for food, falling asleep on the pile of clothes that my mum wants to fold. The ridiculous and amazingly adoring sleep postures she has.. Even just looking at her looking up at me when I carry her warms up my heart. Those eyes not only warms my heart, they practically melt them. Simply captivating. Even the vets, nurses and the staff at the grooming place commented that she is so pretty! My princess!!~

But of cos there are the frustrations which just have to be swallowed. Crawling under the bed (me i meant) just to carry her out for her ear cleansing (normally takes me 1 hr).. and previously medication. Getting attacked by her suddenly leaping up at me on nites that she is wide awake and still running around the house at 1 plus 2am. Grabbing the litter spade when I am clearing the litter. Behaving like a little vaccum cleaner licking off all sorts of stuffs from the floor. Running super fast all over the house like she's racing suddenly and sometimes banging herself against eh cupboards etc.. Refusing to let me clean up her bum bum when she stains them.. Messing up the shoes at the shoe rack. Climbing up on the window to look at birds. Being able to cut her nails only when she's asleep which also means that I have to lie flat on my stomach for some time whilst clipping her nails. The most memorable mixture of feelings i experienced is waking up and bein told by my mum that Meow Me hate a large portion of "huat kuey" in the nite (mum woke up and kicked on a partially consumed "huat kuey" in the morning during CNY period. I didnt know whether to laugh or to be worried! Brushing her hair every other day brings me a mixture of feelings too. She would refuse to be brushed but once she enjoys it, she will even turn herself so that I can brush her other side of the body. Clever MM.

So how can I ever be angry with her? Even though I really wish that she will come when she is called.. be more clingy to us i.e coming to sit at our lap etc.. and of which she is not, I still love and dote on her. Perhaps, she's like me... have the default "dun come n mess with me" look and behaviour sometimes. =p But the joy she brings is contagious. Everyone is smiling more now. Dad, Mum, Jack, Yenling, Yenwei, Auntie and Uncle. Even Pei Pei (who still do not dare to carry her) and Irine laughs at her silly actions and cant help playing with her. How not to love her? How not to? All I can say is that We LOVE Meow Me and hey dear, you are missing out on a whole load of fun and laughter!!

Ok that's quite a long entry though I initially intended to keep it to just a paragraph. Gotto clean her litter now so that she can come home to a clean environment. Bless you my baby.

5th V Day & Anniversary

2009-02-14T23:55:00.000+08:00

Today's Valentine's Day and tomorrow will be our 5 years anniversary.
Both occassions.. without each other by our side.
The best we can have is video call via Skype.
*sob*

Conversations lately hasnt been really pleasant.
Most ended up with me bursting out in anger.. being jealous.. angry.. frustrated.. sad.
Tears just flow.
Guess I couldnt take it animore..

But this morning's conversation made me think.
I hope I will be able to work things out.

I still love u too dear.

mine.

2009-02-12T00:10:00.001+08:00

shawn's mine and me-his.
dun think abt it.

Extreme.

2009-02-06T00:30:00.002+08:00

Feeling so lost.
Helpless.
Depressed.
And top it off with insensitive remarks and attitude by them.
Going to hit the limit soon.
Going crazy very soon.

No enzymes.

2009-01-25T15:35:00.003+08:00

Ok so its more than half a mth since my last post.
And the reason is simple enuff.. Not enough time..
For the past 1 mth plus, I have been waking up much earlier at ard 630am so that there will be enuff time to feed Meow Me her medicine. After work, I have got to rush home and feed her the medicine again before I have my own time to catch some tv, surf the net or tok to dear on skype. Time is never enough and often I end up sleeping at around 12 plus 1am. Have never attempted to ask anyone else to feed her the medication.. dun ask me why.. I also duno.. who can I ask? My mum? Its my cat afterall... So next weekend, when I am away from Spore, I will feel so guilty. Cos I will then have to get my cousin and aunt to look after Meow Me and feed her the medication.

Yes I know some of you may be wondering why she is still on medication after 1 mth plus. Many questions also pop out in my head every day. Been to the vet 5 times and still sick. Its only after yesterday's visit for a Faecal Floatation and Faecal Trypsin Test that they discovered sthin. The good news was that the parasites are gone. The bad news is that Meow Me does not have any enzymes. I asked "No enzymes at all?" and Dr Kasey said yes. As per his explanations, without the enzymes, Meow Me will not be able to absord the nutrients from the food (properly I hope) and will not be able to process the food she ate. That's why the stool comes out loose and super smelly. I was on the way home from NTUC when I received this news. So dumbfounded I was, I didnt really thought thru all that he said. But I did ask him how will Meow Me recover. He said that he is sourcing for a supplement for this from the suppliers.. meanwhile can only hope Meow Me start to produce the enzymes. And nope, the lack of enzymes is not due to her diet. Its in her. =( He had 2 cases before and the cat or cats (I cant remember) recovered after 3-4mths. I really wish that Meow Me will recover soon... It hurts my heart to see her meowing for her food so many times a day. We are feeding her 5 to 6 meals/day and that's around 1 big can of the i/d diet. That's adult cat portion. But we cant help it.. She cant absorb the nutrients so the signal sent to her brain is that she is still hungry. In time to come, we may have to feed her more than a can per day. Poor darling.. But we still love you anyway. People pray with me that Meow Me will recover soon okie? Thank you.

Oh ya.. A Happy Lunar New Year to you~

Dear and Meow Me

2009-01-04T13:48:00.022+08:00

Dear left for USA yesterday and his flight was at 2355hrs. Ah Boy, Diana, Kai Kai, Azhar, Joan, Weeling, Eugene and Yangwei came to send dear off yesterday too. Great frens he has. =) Everyone says he will be back soon and 4 mths will pass very fast. I dun think time will pass by fast. In fact, I think it will crawl by. Why didnt he check me in with his luggage?!?! haiz..

At this timing, he is still on the plane now.. I wonder what he's doing..Sleeping well I hope..

Thanks to Yenling for helping him to get a good seat onboard. =)

By the time he arrive at North Carolina, it will be around 4am plus tomorrow (singapore time). You bet I will be waiting for that sms..

Here's a picture (ya poorly taken) of what I have handmade for him. Glad that he likes it.=)

I have got so many things to update.. So many overdued pictures yet to upload. Duno where to start...

Well, some updates & pictures of Meow Me then.

Meow Me has grown a lot. However, she's still having her diarrhoea and that is considered quite serious as it has been like that since 14th December. She's been here for 3 weeks and has already been to the vet thrice. The last trip was on last friday and the vet changed one of the medication to a orange flavoured antibiotics (Metronidazole suspension) one instead of the awful pungent smelling clear one(Amprolium Syrup). Meow Me dreads the clear medication. She practically flew around the house and foam out all the medication plus a lot of her saliva. =( Dr Pauline nicknamed her Drama Queen. -__-"

Luckily, it is still manageable feeding her this orange one.. At least she dun foam that much. She will have to continue with the Benebac and Kaolin-Pectin Suspension daily until she's better though. So its 3 types of med twice daily except for the Benebac which have to be taken only once per day. Poor gal. And now, she's back to canned food, but its a Prescription diet (i/d) which should be given to her 4-6 times a day. Jack says its like she's a body builder... small and frequent meals. hahaa..

Oh and we brought her for her first grooming on that friday too. She really need a shave especially at the pi pi there.. cos her poo poo keeps getting stuck at the fur there. =( It been really difficult having to coax/chase after her to clean her up. We tried everything we can think of. Wet tissue, wet towel and also washing at the bathroom. Option 1 and 2 requires many rubs and kneeling down at odd positions but its still better than option 3, which proved to be really traumatising for both her and shawn and me and mum and auntie and jack. Our hands, legs and even shoulder have scratches thanks to her. But we learn from experiences. The first time mummy and me wash her, we left the tap running. After some research on the internet, we found out that when bathing her or cleaning her up, it will be much wiser to prepare the water in advance and reduce the noises to a minimum. So no running tap, no plastic bags rustling.

So anyway, after the grooming, cleaning up is so much easier. And her pinky paws are much more visible. They are really soft!!!! But I dun really understand where they shave under her belly too.. To prevent her from licking them there? Oh ya her claws! Before the grooming, Shawn and I finally managed to successfully clip her nails. Its much easier doing that when she's in the sleepy mode. Dear thought it was a great achievement until the groomer said that we forgot to trim the front claws!!! Super super paiseh!!! How can we forget the most powerful ones!

Although sick, she is still very hyperactive. She loves her toys (which is ever increasing thanks to Dad) and tends to be super hyper in the morning and late at night i.e after midnight. She spends most of her afternoon napping and at different spots. Guess she is still finding the most comfy spot. Just yesterday, she was napping away on the table in my mum's sewing room. (Pis below). Nothing will wake her up.. She also loves curling up on our dining chair.. under our sofa, on top of the sofa especially in the evening when my dad reads his papers. recently, she's being developing a habit of sleeping in my room under a small table which I place my laptop. Right now, she's zzing away under Pei Pei's bed. Never once does she sleep inside her basket. I guess she loves the cooling floor... Okie enuf typing.. shall let u guys see some of her photos.

Taken on the first day she came to our house. She was so small, she can curl up into a ball then.

Dear took this when Meow Me just woke up (was napping away under the sofa).

Taken by Yenwei. See the tag~! =p

She resorted to drinking from our cup cos her water tray has been mixed with the pungent med. We decided to force feed her the med instead. Dun want to risk her dehydrated.

Its medicine time and she's really grouchy.

Meow Me and her "da kou bang". Love to see her play with this. =)

One of her many sleeping pose.

Another one. Pls ignore the fat thighs.

And lastly, on the table in the sewing room. Its so noisy but she can still sleep for hours there.

Sthing wrong with the internet connection again, cant upload photos..shall continue another time.

Less than 24hrs

2009-01-03T00:20:00.003+08:00

In less than 24hrs time, dear will be onboard the plane to JFK Airport.
Feeling very down now.. but I know, the most terrible feeling will be experienced at the airport...
Just like the other time when he went to australia and brunei with the army pple..
Everything will finally dawned on me at the airport.. Its always like that for me.. Not that I am slow.. I just dun really wish to think abt everything as yet.. AS YET...

Sigh.

Meow Me updates

2008-12-20T13:43:00.003+08:00

Haven been updating this blog as much and as in depth as I want to..

Been really busy lately.. With Meow Me sick and with Christmas Shopping and of course, the dreaded arrival of 3rd Jan 09. =( Haven even got time to properly update my previous post for "for length story" and pics.. How I wish I have a magic wand.. With a tap of the wand and Meow Me will be well and Dear will have gone n come back from his exchange in US. As for Christmas, hmmm.. I think I will still wana shop. hehe.. Gimmi more time and more money yea?

Nearly a week has passed and Meow Me is still having diarrhoea.. I applied for half day leave on tuesday and dear & I brought her to the vet at Sembawang Road. The vet says there is some parasites in her stool... Not very sure where she got it from either cos she has been brought to Shawn's , Jayne's and finally to my house... Really hope that she will recover soon.. Seeing her visit the litter so many times in a day makes me feel so sad and helpless.. And it been really difficult feeding her the medicines.. Dear brought her to the clinic again on thursday to seek advice on how to force feed her the med and also to know more abt handling her situation as the frequency of her goin to the litter been increasing and she seems to be having both diarrhoea and constipating.. (Reminds me of my IBS). With their advise, now we can feed her slightly more medicine. She's been really clever though.. Somehow she knows when we are goin to feed her and start to hide.. or eat more food.. or go to the litter.. Her behaviour really amazes me. Its like instinctive, she knows how to behave to make it harder for us to feed her the med. -___-" I have a certain way of cuddling her when its medicine time and when I carry her, she just close her eyes.. Not really sure if she's falling asleep cos its too comfy or she just pretending to sleep.. But one thing for sure, her mouth are shut tight. Need more than half an hour!!! So this means waking up extra early to feed her. And no, no regrets! I love Meow Me. And so do everyone in the family!! Especially mum.. Even though she got to clean up Meow Me's poo poo several times in a day, she's not complaining abt the chore.. More of how pitiful our dear Meow Me is being sick.. Meow Me, get well soon okie? Everyone loves u!

Yes I will...

2008-12-16T16:54:00.010+08:00

Yes.. he proposed to me on 14/12/08 and I said yes.

Here's the story of how it all began (Story by Shawn):

How does any proposal start? Of course you'll have to gain the permission of her parents first. During mid november on the 12th, Jac was having her final paper and she wouldn't be at home. It was the perfect opportunity for me to call her home without her knowing. hahaha :D So after I sent her to SIM for her exam, I called her home and asked her mum for permission to propose to her and to ask whether I could buy her a cat as part of my plan. It has been her lifelong wish to have a pet cat and everytime, her mum would say no. Given this special occasion, I was hoping that her mum would agree and she did! Yeah! Ok, so now the planning can begin after seeking approval.

Plan A: The initial plan was to propose to her up at the lighthouse at Seletar reservoir during sunset. We've been there to watch the sunset before and the view is spectacular. As part of this plan, I will have a couple whom I know bring up the cat and the bouquet of flowers to the lighthouse while we were taking photos. The cat and flowers are supposed to belong to the couple and we would be there just watching them. Knowing Jac, she will definitely go over to play with the cat. The cat would have a collar with a tag engraved with the words "Will you marry me?" While she's playing with the cat, I'm expecting her to see the tag and then at the moment she sees it, I'll kneel down and ask her, "Will you marry me?" Then my friends will pass me the flowers and I'll take out the ring.

I seeked a few of my friends' opinion about this plan and they helped me identify the loopholes. Firstly, it was in december and it's the monsoon season! Since it is at an outdoor venue, the unpredictable weather will likely disrupt this plan. Secondly, what if the cat runs away into the bush or something like that?! OMG, that cannot happen. So I had to think of a better plan.

So here's Plan B: Basically, I built plan B using plan A's concept. The opportunity arose when Jayne called for a primary school gathering. Mrs Lim's called for the gathering but sadly she had some last minute family committments and couldn't be there to witness my proposal. Oh, back to the gathering... Knowing plan A wasn't feasible anymore, I suddenly thought that the gathering would be very much better. We met each other during a primary school class gathering and wouldn't it be nice to propose to her also at the same event? cool right? Also, it will be held indoors and the rain wouldn't disrupt any plan. The cat wouldn't be able to run away either. Perfect! So I called Jayne and George, my two accomplices, and we began plotting how I would propose to Jac. Besides providing the venue for my proposal, she also helped me out by recommending a florist to me. That's where I got the very nice bouquet of flowers. George helped me set up the "stage" for proposal and he was the one who picked the cat and put her in the bag because Jayne was afraid of cats.

Here's more details on the execution of the plan. The day before the actual day, my accomplices and I met up at Jayne's house for a rehearsal to practise the plot. On the day of our gathering, which is on the 14th of December 2008, the florist has been told to deliver the flowers to Jayne's house by 10.30 am. On the morning itself, I sent the cat over at around 9am to Jayne's house and then went over to Jac's house to prepare our food as it we were suppose to have pot luck for lunch at the gathering. Jayne texted everyone to arrive at her house by 11 am and she texted Jac seperately, telling her that the event is at 12 pm. This is so that there could be more time to prepare the "stage". :D

When we reached Jayne's house at 12 pm, we began with playing a board game first. Because George didn't know that it was pot luck (how blur he is...), he went out to buy otak and chicken wings. After one long round of playing the game, we were all hungry and adjourned for lunch. We took photos and chatted during lunch and it was time for the plan to begin. I had to lure Jac away from where the cat and flowers were hidden and I did this by asking her to the sofa and told her that we will set up the board game first. Then Jayne came by and said, "I don't think we have time for another round of board game as I need to go to my friend's house and return her cat. She was overseas and left the cat in my care." Jac immediately said, "You've got a cat! Take out and let me play with it." (At this moment, I was grinning.... She reacted according to plan. haha!) Jayne's went into the room and took out the cat. Both Jac and I sat at the "staged' area and began playing with the cat. The tag was flipped and Jac couldn't see the words, so while carrying the cat, I kept trying to flip over the tag discretely with my index finger. I couldn't flip it over... It was such an anxious moment. Finally, out of curiosity, Jac lifted the tag and read the words and asked, "Jayne, your friend's boyfriend used this cat to propose to her ah?" That was the cue for me... I told her, "This cat's yours dear." Then I kneeled down and asked her, "Will you marry me?" She was in utter disbelief and kept thinking I was bluffing her, even though I had the ring in front of me. Then Jayne took out the flowers for me and I gave it to Jac. It was only then she realized that it was all true.

Tears rolled down her cheeks and it was the most memorable and heart warming moment when she said, "Yes I will marry you." My plan worked out smoothly! It was a huge load off my chest, worrying whether would she say yes or not. It was the happiest day of our lives, the beginning of a brand new journey into our relationship.

Mixture of Happiness, Sadness and Anger

2008-12-12T00:11:00.003+08:00

Mixture of Happiness, Sadness and Anger

Happiness-
I passed the killer paper.. Got a C.. my first ever C.. [pulled my GPA from 4.25 to 3.97 =( ] but to me that's like an A already.. Am veri happy already. And so, I graduated. =) And no.. I am not taking a honours degree..

Sadness-
Another few more weeks, he will be leaving for U.S. I dun wan to start counting down but in my heart, I am horrified by the speed time is passing. There doesnt seem to be enough time. There is so much to do n say to him but not enough time. I hope that the months will pass by quickly and he will be physically back by my side again.. supporting me like he always does... doting on me just the way I like.. allowing me to love him just as much as he love me.. lending me his shoulder to cry on.. giving me his finger to bite on.. leading me in the dark.. cheering me up when I am sad... even just silently sitting next to me...and so much more.. Love u Shawn..
Can dun go?

Anger-
Towards them, towards myself n so much more. Haiz. long story.

2008-11-30T13:07:00.003+08:00

One of the most horrible feeling is to have block ears, sore throat and constipation all at the same time.
I feel so irritated now. Really.

Yes... All the good food is making me grow fat~~!

Not forgetting dinner at Dear's house and also with Yuefen n Jasmine at Acacia at Bishan Park. We ordered at least 5 dishes which took up almost the whole table just for 3 of us! Greedy Pigs!!!

And all just for celebrating my mid life crisis~ Dunno to be happy or sad~ hahaha...

More harm done with Lunch at Hans (Far East) and Dinner at Yotei Jap Restaurant at Forum yesterday..=p Hey to celebrate end of exams okie?!

**Paper is so difficult and 3 hrs aint enuff!! Hopefully can pass**

Super hyper Jas~

Dark Sauce n Ginger Pork by Dear~

My best will still be French Beans~ I am getting realli good at this~~ hahaa.. bhb..

And here's why I cant wash the wok..

Muscle knots on my neck n shoulder..

It was my virgin visit to the Sinseh...

Had to bear the pain from 4 of these cylinders... freaking rubbing and pulling...

Ma Kuang tortured me.. and rob me of some tears and $59.20.. and force me to drink horrible mud looking poision... And now 4 big red/blue black and swollen bumps left over plus a few big plasters and more horrible mud powder as presents to bring home.

Perhaps its my sleeping posture.. Or perhaps its the intense preparation of the exam prep notes on the laptop.. But either way, it hurts a lot! I cant really turn or lift things without feeling the pain... Really hope it goes away tomolo~ Haiz.. got to work tomolo too..

p/s: Thanks for all the concern with rgds to the retrenchment my frens..

As at now, I am safe. The future is unknown.. So got lobang lemmi know okie? Love ya...

Terrible feeling to go to work nowadays..
U will never know what will happen next.

Once again.. I wish I was on the moon.

No mood

2008-11-09T22:27:00.001+08:00

I am sorry.
Didnt mean to shout.
But I am really not in the mood to talk about such issues.

Malay ROM Event~

2008-11-01T21:06:00.004+08:00

I am trying to do my prep notes now..

There's a malay ROM event at the void deck next block..

And nope, its not blasting malay songs and nope its not irritating me..

In fact, its blasting english love songs and there's an emcee who seems quite interesting.. Yes he's speaking english~=) Must be a young couple.. quite well-off too.

Duno why I just wish I am seated there too..

It really seems.. or should I say sound very interesting..

There was a group playing drums and duno wat else just now. Sounds like those street performances where the performers hit pails and whatever miscellaneous things etc.
Makes me wana dance. hahaa...

Ok so I am not irritated.

I am enjoying it.

But.

It's really making me lose concentration. =(

Sigh...

Am so looking forward to 1300151108.

sad

2008-10-21T22:09:00.002+08:00

I hate how things are now.
Absolutely detest it.
Getting to work is a dread.
Having lunch is a dread.
Going home is a dread.
Yes even the last one.
Not that there's anything wrong at home.
I just dun like everything.
Everything just seems so different and wrong now.
Colleagues... work.. him..
Everythinggg~~!
Watever!

Lizard-phobic

2008-10-20T22:44:00.003+08:00

I freaked out just now.
Really.
And now I have a bad sore throat.
And all I wanted was an ice-cream..............

I was closing the freezer compartment of the fridge just now when I tot I saw something blackish on the packet of sharksfin. I was thinking... something like perhaps the sharksfin gone bad?
And my curiosity made me opened the freezer again to take a closer look.
Then I shouted F*** and slammed the door shut and ran all the way to the living room.
Like a mad woman.
Guess I shocked everyone, including yenwei who was just next to me by the fridge.
And no I couldnt managed to say out properly what I saw. I just jumped around, screaming n acting gibberish non-stop... Incoherent.
Finally I managed to scream out properly that there's a dead lizard lying on the pack of sharksfin and its frozen!
Mum did the task of throwing it away.
And I absolutely disallowed her to throw it in the kitchen dustbin..
"IT MUST GO OUT OF THE BIG RUBBISH CHUTE!" I screamed.
Everyone duno whether to laugh or to scold me.
But I was really freaked out.
Should not have take a second look.
And to top it up, the Christopher Lee and Quan Yifeng's show had earlier on featured 2 horrible liazards. Black n fat ones. Disgusting.

And ya, my auntie next door heard me. Haiz.
Mei you nian jian ren le.

And its all the sickening lizard's fault.

Mum guessed the lizard somehow rushed into the freezer when we opened the door and it got scared or something along tt line.

I am really gona suffer from lizard-phobic now..

Always check ur movie tickets

2008-10-19T22:34:00.004+08:00

Advice of the day: Check ur movie tickets upon purchase..

Dear and I went to town for some long-awaited shopping and movie yesterday.
And we were horrified when dear took out the movie tickets just minutes before screening to realise that both the timing and movie were WRONG...... Its not Max Payne for 935pm!!
Yes, we forgot to check them when we bought them earlier on in the afternoon..-____-

We hurried down to the box-office or watever they call it and requested for something to be done.. I was quite pissed off not just from the wrong tickets but from the stupid pair of shoes I had on.. They were killing me!!
Well, anyway, the same gal who attended to us was still there and we managed to change the tickets to another show with ard the same timing.

Well, wrong choice of movie.
The movie is reallyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy ... hmm.. pointless..
Aside from some laughters from moviegoers time to time, there is really no hmm.. wat should I say..logical ending?
A waste of money...
Dun watch "Burn after Reading..."
You will feel more worth in buying 6 cups of mcflurry.

Oh ya and we visited dear Kai Kai...
Didnt managed to take any proper photos to share though..
And he really grew!! Such length for a 3 mth old baby.
Sure to grow up to be a suave chap~
And I adore his smile.. So cute~
Cant wait for him to grow up somemore~~ Toddler! I love Toddler!!

Last Proj SUBMITTED!

2008-10-14T18:39:00.004+08:00

Finally submitted my last project!!

NO MORE PROJECTS!!!

Nothing can make me unHAPPY for today!!!

As HAPPY as Jules eating his onigiri...

Impromptu Pak Toh!

2008-10-13T11:32:00.006+08:00

Sick of all the proj work le so asked dear to bring me on a impromptu "pak toh" late last night~~ haha.. We went to the Prata House where he ate his dinner of FOUR pratas whilst I drank my not so sweet teh terik. Its been so long since we really go out le.. Almost 3 weeks!!! Never go shop shop!!! Only meeting up after work/school to travel home together.. How boring~~ I miss pak tohing~~ haha..

So anyway, after prata, we drove to Seletar Dam and had a long chat.

We re-enacted the scene of how we first hold hands again..

And again abt how I never really said "yes" to be his gf and yet we became a couple.. -____-"

And how his parents recently suggested "meet the parents session", which made us freak out.. =p

I like to tok abt the past whilst dear love to tok abt the future like kids, flat and holidays..
Its times like these that makes the time pass by so fast..

I wish for many more such moments with u dear... Love u~ =)

Torture!!!

2008-10-11T22:45:00.003+08:00

I am done with my question one but I duno why I aint starting on question two.
Ling gan.. where are u...
The past 2 weeks has been really tiring..
Going back home earliest at 8 plus and latest at 11 plus.. Really hope this can end soon..
Super tiring..
Trying to squeeze time in to prepare for my last tma during weekday is such a headache.
Its torturous!!! And I am aching all over!!!!

Strategy TMA2 n F1

2008-10-01T21:49:00.002+08:00

I passed!!!! Got 60 marks for TMA2. One last TMA to go before the exams!!!
My 6th sense was at work just now..
Somehow, instinctively, I had the feeling the results are out and I went to switch on the PC.
Next thing I know, Tim Meng msged me saying that results are out!!
Could hardly breathe!!
Cos I have a feeling that I wont score as well as the TMA1.
In my mind, I was trying to stop myself from clicking, but my hands were opposing me and clicking even faster.. -_____-"
Heng its not as bad as I would have imagined.. =)

I am really supposed to get back to my text right now.. 2 more chapters to absorb.. and I am really behind time.. But these few chapters are really dry......

And I really really want to blog abt last sunday!!!
Spent the day and afternoon at SMU with dear.. He doing his proj with Evan n me studying.. or rather trying to study...
In the evening, we proceed to Marina Square cos Dear's fren-Zehao invited us to join him n his fren-Jenice for dinner at Oriental Hotel- Melt- The World Cafe for international buffet on sunday night! =)
And we get to see the F1 grand championship from the roof top!! Double =)
Despite the fact that its not a super fabulous view like the grand stand, I think we were really enjoying ourselves. =) No need to pay tickets and no need to squeeze with pple!!! hahaha...
But kinda got bored after seeing the same thing.. I mean how can we stand watching the same cars zooming past us 61 laps? (well almost the same cars.. poor Massa and some others..)
So we went back to the restaurant to continue with our buffet and watch it live from the restaurant TV. At least over there I get to see PIT STOPS!! I love pit stops!!
Oh ya.. and dear n I finally got to savour Foie Gras.. wahahaha!!
And best of all, dinner was FOC cos Jenice knows the Executive Chef!! hehe...
Who dun love free meals? hehehe...

I should really get back to studying..
=(

Oh ya.. Happy Children's Day and Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri!

Joke!!

2008-09-26T00:04:00.002+08:00

XXX: We ought to keep our money at Khong Guang Bank. Its one of the safest!

YYY: *Scratch head*

XXX: My grandma has good foresight... She only banks at this bank...

Pancakes and Rainbow!

2008-09-22T00:23:00.003+08:00

We prepared pancakes with ice-cream and peach yesterday.
And we took Rainbow for a flight today at East Coast Park.
Though I have been quite grumpy before I stepped out of the house both yesterday and today, I reached home feeling pretty happy.
Shall post the pics when I got em from Shawn. =)

Floating away~

2008-09-16T22:59:00.005+08:00

After slogging my ass out for the past few days for the 2nd TMA, I made a resolution.

To enjoy myself this weekend to the fullest.

I have got limited weekends to enjoy~~~ =(

And so.. how shall I schedule it leh?

One thing for sure, East Coast!!

Well, and as usual... 2 free gifts came with the project submission..

1. Weight Loss

2. Pimples

I'll prefer the former...

And just for records, I am still having block ears and feeling of floatingness~~ I am flying~~~

And here's God-pa Shawn feeding Kai Kai... Come to think of it, I am still kinda annoyed that he went to visit Kai Kai w/o me... hmmff!!

Miserable & Furious

2008-09-09T21:03:00.003+08:00

I hate ear blocks... Super hate ear blocks..
Its super irritating I swear...

And it all started from a miserable sore throat.. which progressed to ear pain.. then flu.. and finally annoying ear blocks.. Been to Dr Yong twice.. Realli hope to recover soon.. =(

And while I was on the way home from the clinic this afternoon, this moronic motorcyclist actually crossed my path while I was crossing the road. It cut just in front of me!
He was so near, I could have kicked him down!!! Him and the pillon rider!!
That moron could have killed me... Sickening..
Green Man was on!! That idiot...
Wanted to note down the license plate number but it was too fast..
Furious..

Confused.

2008-08-23T13:04:00.002+08:00

Sometimes we just wish time would stop and everything remains status quo..
But there are also times when one gets bored and sick of the never changing lifestyle.
Do I ask for a lot?
Searching for a answer which doesnt seems to come to me.
Being in a situation which doesnt seems right but yet unable to detect the problem.
Fill my bottle with sand and water. I get mud.
Murky colour.. horrible look.. something which I really hate.
I am confused.
What is the problem?
Is there an answer?
Can the answer be found?
How do we go about searching for the answer?
Who can help me?
Why is there a problem in the first place?
Who is at fault?
Issit nobody's fault?
Issit my fault?
What can I do?
Will this be solved?
When can it be solved?
What will happen next?
Life is really unpredictable.
I really duno what I want.

Someone turned on the tap again.

Strategy submitted!

2008-08-13T13:01:00.005+08:00

Finally submitted my first TMA for Strategy. HORRAY!!!!
Somemore one day in advance wor...
Cos they last minute extended the dateline.... -_-"
But well since I am almost done, may as well stick to the original dateline and submit.

Productivity for this project has been terrible.
I think I spent 5 full days in total on this proj..
Of which 2 days I was away from work due to MC-giddiness and as per doc's words, Vertigo.
Dr Yong says I should go dating at parks and beach.. -__-"
Think the only link was overwork..facing too much radiation.. blah blah.. cant really recall wat he said.

And becos of this project, I didnt managed to go Batam for Grandma's bday celebration.
The problem lies with the travelling time... If were to go, it will be at least 2 days wasted.
Feel kinda guilty... =(

But I managed to go for Ah boy's Kai Kai's full mth celebration, which was on friday evening- 08/08/08- same day as Olympic's Opening. (Btw, I like the swimming and weight-lifting segments).
And I finally carried Kai Kai!! =)
But I wasnt as good as dear... Kai Kai started moving a lot when I carry him.. hehe..
Lousy God-Ma...
Dear Kai Kai can really sleep... Seeing him awake was really difficult!!
Hope he will enjoy sleeping in the stroller we bought for him.
Cant wait for him to grow up a bit more.. I love toddlers!!

For now, I shall surf surf a bit and relax a bit.
=)

Can hardly survive

2008-08-05T22:40:00.002+08:00

Had my first 13 hrs lesson on sunday.
By mid day I was wasted.
Imagine when we finally struggled from 830am to 1pm, the lecturer actually reminded us that its not even half the day~!!
Classmates were ok. In fact, quite a interesting grp we have.
Thanks to a couple of "more lively" peeps.
I seemed to meet a lot of "Alvins". 2 more in my class.. haha.
So there were like 13 of us (i think) and hopefully we can all survive thru this killer mod.
A few more mths to graduation!!! Ok lets shorten it a bit...
3-4 mths to graduation and NO MORE EXAMS N PROJECTS!!!

that is if I can pass...

I am supposed to do my proj rite now..
But I cant concentrate...
Instead here I am blogging..

Work was terrible.. My port seems to be selling retail notes like handling out free gifts.
Most of my colleagues port doesnt seem to be as much. Not a pleasant feeling...
Feeling overworked.. =(
But luckily these 2 days Allan and WernMing has been helping me..
I wonder if I will go crazy one of these days...
My eyes got to look up and down so much and so fast I feel sick and breathless..
And to make it worse, I have been feeling dizzy of late.
Not to the extent of whole room rotating..
More of cant walk straight and cant make sharp turns like tt.
And last week, my legs nearly gave way twice or thrice..
Been imagining.. If I were to faint one day, what will be the cause and where will I wake up to find myself at. Okok.. think too much.. as usual..

Let me strike TOTO bah!!!

No water for the whole blk!

2008-07-27T22:04:00.003+08:00

Somehow.. duno how.. the water tank for our blk went empty...
And so there was no water for the whole blk for like erm... hmm... I didnt take note of the time just now.. I guess.. erm.. 1 hr plus ba.
Mum was washing dishes and she was wondering aloud to us why the water flow was so light.

"ya lor.. just now I wash my hands also like tt.." I replied..

"sekali no more water le ah" I added..

Then I proceed to tell Pei Pei abt how we used to have those drills where there were "water cut-offs" and we had to do downstairs to collect water with pails. I remembered going down once with grandma.. I brought alone a kettle cos there was no small pails for me. =p

To my amusement, mum began filling up the kettle to boil some water and then drip ..drip.. no more water!

I burst out laughing.. "you mei you huan shui dian fei??"

All of a sudden, I felt really thirsty. That's extreme I guess. =p

A check with our cousin next door revealed that our whole blk was facing the same situtation.

Good thing was.. I had just finished my bathe. =) haha...

And so there was some commotion.. you know the usual aunties.. "eh you got water not ah?" .. "i also dun have leh!!"..

Yenwei and I were wondering wats the number to call.. to call water supply or town council..
Then Pei Pei shoved us the newspaper and pointed out to us the number to call for water supply.
I didnt know the papers provide such numbers!!
And we were amused that Pei Pei actually noticed this pc of info!

And so I called water supply who directed me with a number for town council.. and who directed me with yet another direct number for yishun town council. Turn out someone has also called them already. good good.

So whilst waiting for the water to resume, Irine, Pei Pei and I kept ourselves entertained with tots of "pple washing hair and suddenly no water" etc. We lafed so hard that I was practically lying on the floor. Come to think of it, its kinda bad lafing eh? =(

Luckily the water is restored. I was thinking of wat to do tomorrow morning if there is no water to bathe. Water is precious!

Shao Kai~~

2008-07-24T22:39:00.004+08:00

Our god son, Shao Kai!!!

18th July 2008...

2008-07-18T23:59:00.000+08:00

I got a zhen yan (needle eye) on my left eye....
So painful... Hope it recovers by tomolo cos I will be going shopping with yuefen.. =)
Plan to trim my hair too but Eileen says that she can only tell me if she's working tomolo cos they might be renovating the place tomolo.. =(
My hair grows fast! Duno if its a good thing or bad...

Its TGIF today and dear and I met up at Toa Payoh after work.
We had Ichiban Sushi and I am still so full from it.
Sinful meal.. A lot of carbo..
The run I had yesterday gone down down down the drain.
And we even squeezed in bubble tea from KOI.. we chose the 25% sugar level one. Hazelnut Milk Tea sucks... Normal milk tea still the best. =)

I was tellin dear in the afternoon that I recalled the moment he gave me BeBe (many yrs ago)... so warm.. that was a good surprise...
Ya I was day dreaming in the office.
haha...
Then it suddenly occured to me that we cant celebrate our fifth yr anniversary together next yr!!
He will be in US by then... on a exchange program...
Half a year.. how do I survive???????
My convocation how???????
I will use up our wedding budget just to fly to US to meet u.
Dun say I never warn u.............. =p

Itchy Fingers + Sch Stuff + Shao Kai + Mustafa

2008-07-13T18:11:00.003+08:00

Bad fingers..
Bad Bad fingers..
Itchy fingers started traumatizing my face just now..
Super regret it.
Why cant I keep my itchy fingers out of my face??
=(

I did spring cleaning just now... =)
Dumped a lot of notes.
But I still got 2 box full of textbooks.
Duno if I am normal or not.. cos I dun dare to throw away my textbooks, for fear that they may just come in handy for "next time".
Did I mentioned that I missed the dateline for my course fees payment?
And I got to pay 5% penalty............. SobZ!
What makes me heart pain aka "dui" is not that I forgot to pay...
I have been consistently checking the website inbox for course fee payment notice oblivious to the fact that a notice had long been posted at the side bar for us to print the course reply slip/payment blah blah blah.
How blur can I get? -_____-"

Dear and I went to Ah Boy's house yesterday to visit our god-son.
Dear Shao Kai looks like Diana more but have Ah boy's nose. Very cute. =)
Shall post his pic when dear send it to me.

Finally went to Mustafa yesterday. F-I-N-A-L-L-Y...
I am amazed at the variety of products they sell.
And they carry products that we cant even find at marts like Carrefour and Giant.
But I still cant find that particular brand of Vegetarian instant Bihun.. =(
Whereforth art thou bihun??

3 km!

2008-07-11T21:57:00.002+08:00

I ran 3 km just now!!!! yeah yeah!!
Last week was 2.5 km!!! =)
Got improvement!!!
So will I stick to my weekly jog and aim for 5 km as a target?
How about twice a week jog?

hmmm....

Oh ya! Diana gave birth to a baby boy on 10 Jul.
Goin to visit them at their house tomolo..
God papa and God mama.. =)

Farewell and see ya!

2008-07-06T13:19:00.009+08:00

These 2 weekends have been spent on farewells.

Just last week, we went to T3 to have a farewell meal with Uncle Timothy.
He will be going to HK for work and dun think he will come back anytime soon.
We had a lovely late lunch/early dinner where we chatted and lafed.
Its alright that I dun really understand cantonese cos they all seems to be enjoying themselves.
We fed ourselves full with all the good food.
Timothy ordered so much that the whole table was full and we had to keep on emptying plates for more room on the table.
"Mexico" Po Po (a nick shawn & me gave for his grandma) very cute..
Her way of holding back her tears is to close her eyes tightly.
Goodbye scenes never fail to activate my tear glands. =(

Then, we had a farewell dinner at Auntie Annabelle and Uncle Fredrick's place yesterday.
They had sold off their apartment and is now temporarily staying at a service apartment at Somerset.
Will be some time before we see them again cos they are moving back to France.
1st time I did so much Faire la bise aka what I call as French "muack muack".. haha..
And we forgot to take group photo!! tsk.. tsk...
Here's some photos I took from the 2 kid's blog.

Here's Eva Liya Appert..

And Jules Shenjun Nicolas Gallet..

Surprisingly, these 2 cousins dun really play with each other.

They acted like one's transparent to the other. so funny...

And it was so difficult for Dawn to take photos of them together.

Quite amusing I would say to see the parents trying to get the 2 kids' attention to focus on the camera at the same time.

Kids are a handful arent they?

But their smile and innocence never fail to brighten up our days.

Looking forward to the birth of Ah Boy's son.

Shawn and I are goin to be God Pa and God Ma!!

So when is our qing gong yan? =)

ROAR!

2008-06-16T21:57:00.006+08:00

ROAR!!!!

There's a limit to my patience and she's crossing the limit soon...

Cant tolerate such behaviour & attitude.

One should always review on her own actions before criticizing others.

I dun think she should be saying what she said just now.

In fact, I believe she's the last one on the list to have the rights to say that.

I snapped at her. I couldnt stand it.

I felt like blasting her with what I felt but nope I shouldnt waste my energy and time on her.

An addition to the grp of pple whom dun deserve my respect.

If you want others to help u, help others.

If you are one who siam this siam that and still bear hope of pple helping u, wake up ur idea.

I cant stand it when she rather leave a question unsolved and stand a high chance of getting whacked the next mth than to just seek to find a solution now.

Why not just solve it once and for all and that stupid irritating question wont pop out ever again?

Is it that difficult to open ur mouth and ask?

By the way, I helped today not becos I want to help u.

Nope u dun deserve my help. Its cos I cant stand ur speed.

And everything cluttered there. Eye sore.

And the rest got to wait for u too.

I dun understand.

Why dun u quicken ur pace in the day instead of fluttering here and there.

And stop drowning my ear drums with all the complaints in the evening!

I dun appreciate the distraction!!!

True is the point that everyone has their own style.

I agree that my style may not be the best or exactly comfortable.

But I definitely dun agree with your style of working.

Getting more and more mentally imbalanced.

For the n number of times, ITS TIME!

Meaningful Days

2008-06-15T23:17:00.003+08:00

The weather is too hot tonight!!
Am controlling the urge to on the aircon.. Must ren.. ren... ren...

Today's father's day. We had a simple KFC feast dinner at home.
Dad loves KFC. That's his favourite..
We bought a wallet for him. Think he likes it.
However, I am sure if we buy a new HP for him, he will be thrilled.
But I aint too enthu.. he change HP more often than me.. =p
And he doesnt really use his HP much.. aiya very hard to explain. Think the wallet is a better choice.

Dear and his family went to AMK for crab feast...**jealous**
I also wana eat crab...

We drew up a timeline and did some research just now..
Now we have a better idea of the future.... =)
Hmmm.. I think I shall use Microsoft Project this week to draw out the timeline..

And hahaha... Detective Jaclin loves digging out clues..
Today was a gauge of the time period.
Yesterday was the finding of the accomplices.. muhahahaha... I am so satisfied..
Joan, Eugene, Richard, Gavin.. muahaha.. someone somehow somewhat now I know.
Oh ya dinner was at this Teppanyaki restuarant yesterday. Had great lafs during dinner. Nice!
And I bought a fossil watch at only $65 at the private sale. Happy!!
Just kinda disappointed dear couldnt find a suitable one.. =(

Okie dear just called.
Time for our nightly chat!

Mum and I had wanted to trim our eyebrows just now... Tot of visiting the indian eyebrow trimming shop near my house.. Apparently they shifted/closed shop le.. Sian...
Got to stick to the one at central.. not tt its not good.. in fact I like it.. Jus tot can visit a nearer one.. Haha I am that lazy..

Then just now on the way there I tot I saw someone. On a bicycle. Duno if its really that someone not.. Cos I only had a brief look of the somone when the someone rode past.
Well, anyway it doesnt matter.

Oh ya.. My popiah flew out of my plate just now..
Left with only 2/5 of it..
Super paiseh when I regained my balance..
Hope no one saw it just now..
We did some quick shoppin at the NTUC too..
I bought Soba noodles to cook later..
I like cold soba!
Sauce very expensive..
I am very poor. =(

Saw uncle Timothy (Shawn's uncle) at HongLim Food Center yesterday.
So qiao..
Chatted with him for a while.
He will be goin to Sichuan to help out=) then going to England for a conference/seminar then going to HK to teach at the uni there.
He mentioned that his new place will have a sea view and invited us to stay at his home next time we are there. =)
Now we can either go Auntie Dawn's house or Uncle Timothy's place when we visit HK next time.. So nice of them. =)
I wana go on another holiday!!!

Had dinner with Laura and Raymond yesterday at AMK.
Had yu tou lu at this coffee shop near Raymond's place.
Again the conversation of switching jobs came up again. haha.. Always!

Then Laura mentioned that she was hospitalised a few weeks ago..
It had some thing to do with fever then ear infection resulting in balance disorder in the ear (sthin like tt..) that causes her to feel really dizzy if she lies down.

I guess its something like this:
http://www.meei.harvard.edu/patient/balancedisorders.php

And she's been sleeping sitting up till now.
The other day she felt so weak even to open her door to seek help from her family members and she vomitted non stop till they got to send her to the A&E.
And now she got to do theraphy which involves turning around in bed. Something which is so simple to a normal person but is really difficult for someone suffering from balance disorder.
According to her anyone can suffer from this but those who suffered from this are more prone to a relapse. I hope she recovers fast and wont suffer from it again.

Then on thursday evening, dinner was with Shawn's mum, Ah Boy and Shawn at this cantonese restuarant at Sembawang. His late grandpa loved to go there.
So we were talking abt marriage and flats and babies.
Ah Boy is a anxious dad and his baby is a very active one. Takes after his dad. =) According to him, they got to scan a few times before they found out the gender of the baby cos the baby was turning so much!
Hopefully the book we previously bought for him on sleeps for babies will help him.

And ya.. Dear and I are still undecided on the area.
We really hope we can get one at Yishun 800 plus or central area.
I can think of so many pros there! But the only thing is tt it will be a resale flat and I aint too enthu abt that. But BTOs are so hard to get and takes so long.. headache..
And if we realli do look ard and see a flat we want how?
As in we only plan to get married after he grad.
Got to have another thorough discussion soon.

And recently I got hooked on watching wedding videos.. hehe..
And I chanced upon Kristen and Jaycen's wedding clip on you tube!

Hey Ziqiang if u are reading this, that's ShiHway's wedding clip I am refering to. =)

And another couple's romantic clip. They must be really rich... Love the scene where the dad brought the daughter to the chapel. The long walk is so romantic!
Here goes...

Shall continue to surf somemore!

2nd last sem exams OVER!

2008-05-27T00:33:00.002+08:00

EXAMS ARE OVER!!!

YEEESSH!!!

dreaded killer strategy mod..

but that's sthin to think abt 2 mths later.

For now, its YIPPIE!!!! =)
I miss shopping!!!
And yes I am free for dinners le.
Qing!! Yuefen!! Jasmint!!

Went to Sak** Sushi for dinner with dear.
Price increase leh! Dun like!
Dun tell me its cos of the rice price hike.. that doesnt mean they can increase each plate from $1.99 to $2.29 leh... Doesnt make mathematical sense leh.. My maths may be poor but the sums doesnt seems right if the basis for increase is that. Personal view.

Jia lat! I should be sleeping already... gotta work tomolo.. But I am still wide awake!
Must be all the late nights.. 2 weeks gone just like tt! SOBZ! My precious leave...
