WEDDING BELLS

Went to Sam & Julie’s (dear colleague) wedding on 15 Sep 2007 at CHJIMES… 1st time attending wedding dinner there.. Enjoyable night…

CHJIMES’ ball room is beautiful, filled with romantic feeling.. think the mgmt there removed the chairs that are usually there in the day and filled it with tables… the ballroom is a cathedral by day and a function room by night.. though beautiful, me & dear didn’t quite like the setting… we felt that here are so simply too many pillars in the ballroom… luckily I was seated quite near the stage, else would be blocked by the pillars.. the food served also didn’t match up to any standard.. guess becos the food is catered in, so the standard would be quite low.. for dear & me who are food lovers, guess bad food would be a No No in our wedding =P Anyway, we are not really “potatoes”, so CHJIMES would be the last place for us to throw our wedding dinner…

Apart from the place itself, the wedding itself is enjoyable.. we have a very beautiful & sexy bride that night.. with all those plunging neck line and tight fitting gown.. I think even the gals attending the wedding are drooling..

I loved their wedding albums.. in fact, they not only have 1 but 3 albums… the 1st one is taken locally, in CHJIMES… the 2nd & 3rd one is taken in Bali.. nothing can be said abt Bali.. the beach, the greenery and the mountain… it’s simply splendid.. Must have cost them a bomb.. me & dear took 1 album and now it’s sitting at the top of our cupboard.. waiting for our new hse to come, then will display it out once there is space.. dun want to hide our S$3k album…

The 1st DVD montage abt their childhood was also fantastic… loved the work of the professional… That morning when Sam went to pick up Julie, as usual he was tasked to go through a couple of huddles.. Must mention this one cos it’s really funny (and it make me having naughty thoughts going on in me.. ke ke ke) the sisters placed a wax strip on Sam’s legs and tore it off… OUCH… think that would really hurt if we had done this on my dear… I’m imagining dear’s face with the tears rolling down… so funny…

I loved haapy occasion… so looking forward to many more… =P

MY GRANNY

Granny came to visit us recently from Malaysia. Last time I saw her was during my wedding in Nov last year.. Long time haven seen her already..

Got ready an ang bao for her back then during CHY, but we din get to meet, so the ang bao was left in a corner in my drawer.. so when granny finally turn up, dear & me couldn’t wait to give her the ang bao.. wanna make her happy too…

We visited her the 1st day she arrived.. gave her the ang bao.. supposed to be a joint effort by me & dear.. but after thanking us, she went ard telling other relatives that her grand son-in-law is very gd to her and very generous.. omg, I’m so jealous… it’s the boy girl thingy with the old folks again..

On Sunday, we went Dian Xiao Er for dinner.. Dad & mum suggested bringing granny out for a gd dinner.. Daddy & mummy said that they will pay for the dinner but usual practice, they would asked dear to swipe his credit card 1st to earn points.. so there’s nothing special or unusual abt the dinner

All was fine until dear stood up to go to the counter to pay and the rest of us decide to wait at the entrance for dear.. my granny walked up to him and thank him for the delicious dinner… dear was shocked… the rest of us were happily laughing away.. see the different treatment a guy get vs a gal… even my cousin thank dear for the dinner…

Dear was immediate in clarifying the misunderstanding.. dun want to earn such points.. high stress level.. wait target also higher. Ha ha ha… the scene was really funny.. too bad u’re not ard to witness it.. I wonder what will happen if I’m the ine swiping my credit card =P

TEENAGERS NOW VS TEENAGERS THEN

Recently had a very interesting conversation with my sis-in-law…
Her friends are encouraging her to do a make over i.e. change her hairstyle.. throw away the spectacles and wear contact lenses… straightened her teeth.. change her dress sense etc etc

Hello, you teenagers out there should be concentrating in your studies and not abt appearing to be super pretty.. Reasons quoted by teenagers nowadays.. if you don’t make over, you can’t find boyfriend and you can’t get married… Huh????

If this is the case, I should invite everybody to come and congratulate me… cos I found my dear and I got married even without having to go through the above make over..

For heaven sake, why are teenagers going to find so much $$ for the above… as usual, just ask parents for it… they never knew how hard earned the parent’s $$ is.. just spend & spend..

One advice for all teenagers out there..
If you guys want anything, earned it yourself…

Oh, and I don’t think that you need makeover to find true love.. if a guy/ girl go for your look.. then they may go after someone better looking than you in the future too…

I’M 26 YEARS OLD

My birthday this year falls on a Monday.. Initially I had no plans to take leave cos dear is busy with running his target and I dun want to disturb him… But to my surprise, he volunteered the day off.. so the 2 of us left our work behind and went for holiday…

Went to Lifespa that afternoon… tried out Swedish massage.. only 1 word to describe.. SHIOK….
But the shiok feeling come with consequence for me.. blue black ard my legs… but nevertheless, I still enjoy the session a lot..

After spa, we went shopping in Orchard in the afternoon… Can’t believe it when I actually see some crowd at shopping centre on a Monday afternoon… but then it is never as much as those on weekend.. so we quite enjoyed ourselves… Bought couple of things too…

I loved this birthday… it’s quiet, without too many commotion.. I just loved spending the day with someone close to my heart…

BDAY BASH… SURPRISE VS NO SURPRISE

My colleagues threw a surprise bday lunch for me & another 2 frenzs whose bday falls In September too. They had actually planned it quite some time without us knowing it and they had planned to have the surprise during our monthly grp outing.. but something cropped up and the grp outing was postponed indefinitely…

That day, we reserved a table at our company café. After lunch, Dennis appeared with a cake.. none of us knew that… what’s more surprising is that the cake has our pics on it… the 3 September babies were so touched…each of us even received a giant bday card (seem like big is the in thing now =)

My boss secretary even went to buy 4D,using our birth date.. 3713… ha ha ha..
We truly have a very nice time next day.. there are some more pics on the way on this day… so cross your fingers..

My family oso celebrated my day on Sunday.. they had meant it to be a surprise but dear leaked the secret out to me =P However, there is no surprises one in my family cos when my bday is near, I will go ard telling them that my bday is coming [ha ha ha.. very thick skinned hor]…My family is just liked that..

Received birthday ang pao from parents and had a jelly cake… tks sis & bro for the cake.. won’t forget u guys when your bday is near =P
