Caught the movie “Enchanted” with my colleagues and sister (she stood in for one colleague who fell sick) during one of the weekday night…
It’s a Walt Disney production… The show was funny…mix of spoofs of different fairy tales…
This is how the story goes… Prince has this step mother who is Queen.. Queen wanna be Queen forever, so is trying ways to prevent Prince from meting the Special Gal.. Prevention plan failed and Prince met Special Gal.. On the day of the wedding, Queen turned herself to a granny and pushed Special Gal off the wishing well… Special Gal came to New York… Special Gal met Special Guy in New York.. Special Guy took care of her and eventually fell in love with her…a very fairy tale story with the “Happily Ever After” ending… quite a romantic show…
The female lead, aka Special gal held this belief throughout the show.. if you love someone, you must show it.. that’s how that someone know you love him…. This statement is so, so true.. my colleague even downloaded the songs as ring tone… I have it in my phone.. so now considering if I wanna use it as my ring tone =P
Looking forward to our next outing on 14 dec.. we’re having this special x’mas dinner cum gift exchange session… to top it up, there is something else going on too.. will let you know in due time =P

Our New House
Signed the contract for our new house in 2004… initial committed date to give us the keys were end 2009… apparently, think the keys would come earlier…
Drove past the construction site last weekend.. The building are up and the painting are done… even the block no are put up.. read the sign put up by the contractor at the site.. Handing over date to HDB is 07 Dec 2007.. ohhh… so excited, that would mean we’ll be collecting our keys soon… now, every day when I opened the letter box, I would be looking forward for a letter from HDB… I’m silly, right,.. but that kind of excitement and anticipation… hmm, dun know how to put it in words…
Am looking around for interior designers… My colleague who is getting the same area as mine had already booked her ID… I’m not so KS… so still looking ard for the perfect company to do up my perfect dream home…
I’m also using various software to do a mock up of the renovation and furnishing that I intend to have.. though tedious and time consuming… I enjoyed it quite well… it’s just like preparing for the wedding… hee hee hee…
Now, I’ll bring along my new house’s floor plan with me wherever I go… looking forward to just hopping by any reno company to ask for quotation.. of course, I had already done my homework.. so already had an idea of what we wanted… Even planned to make use of the upcoming trip to Bangkok to do some “small” furniture or display items shopping… ke ke ke..
So, HDB letter, when will you be arriving??? Tomorrow?

Had planned to go to Terminal 3 open house the next day but I was too tired.. din sleep well the night before becos of a mere “near” accident on the road… lucky thing is no one is hurt.. phew… dun wanna talk abt it.. so I’ll just left it as it is.. and oso it was raining very heavily too.. just felt like hiding under my comfortable quilt…
Anyway, we held our wedding last year at Hilton Hotel.. in return, Hilton gave us a gift voucher for buffet for 2 at Checkers Restaurant.. will be going there this Saturday.. looking forward to it =P

A Special Date... 25 November …
Time passed so quickly… I still remember that last year this time, I was so ,so busy…

2 days before 25 Nov 2006 : I was on leave at home… Went to pick up my gowns… they really looked lovely… My relatives start streaming into my hse and the entertaining part also started..
1 day before 25 Nov 2006 : This was a busy busy day…
In the day :
My hse was so filled with pple that there was simply no air.... went for a manicure session in the early afternoon with my fav cousin, kexin at one of the shop near my place… asked the gal to do the manicure on her little fingers too… looked so adorable.. am very satisfied with the service… though the session was a bit long, but the gal was professional and thoughtful…. The shop has since closed down..
At night :
I checked into Quality Hotel… set up all my things there in preparation for the Big Day the next day… The suite was very comfy… enjoyed a bath in the tub and doing facial, while waiting for my “姐妹” to come… the ZHSS gals were to camp in with me that night while Lin Ling and Ah Bao were only to arrive the next morning… Chit chat till later with the gals on old times in school… unforgettable…
25 Nov 2006 : What can I say abt this day… all things just fall nicely into place…. Will be posting the link to my wedding photos soon on the blog.. am doing some organizing now… so u guys just have to wait a while =P

Bad night behind the wheels….
I was on my way to pick dear up from his RT.. not sure wat happen that day, but wasn’t feeling too good to be behind the wheels.. Alas, things really din turn out good in the end..
Was coming down from the multi-storey car park.. Thought I checked my blind spot area but I still failed to see an on-coming car moving up the multi storey car park.. I was shaken up.. Supposed to step at the brake in this scenario but instead I stepped on the accelerator.. luckily I was “soft” by nature when stepping on the steps… Another lucky thing is that the oncoming car driver braked for me…Otherwise, think we might have collided… that guy oso quite gentlemen… din scold me.. stare at me or point middle finger at me.. phew… I admit, it was totally my fault.. muz look out for blind spt more carefully next time…
Bad things behind the wheels din just stopped there.. was up on TPE to Bedok camp.. was supposed to exit at Exit XXX (dun remember the nos).. I was on the most right lane.. there was a taxi behind me, abt 2 car space away.. there was no car in front of me.. To my left side, there are oso no car directly beside me… but there are 2 cars to my left lane.. one on par with the taxi behind me and the other abt 4 car space in front of the taxi…
There are a lot of space for me to filter left, so I signaled and prepared to cut lane.. immediately after signaling, the taxi on the left lane sped up and drove to my side… I was thinking.. “ok, let him passed 1st, I’ll only filter behind him”.. so, I slowed dowm… But that stupid taxi refused to accelerate.. he oso went ahead to slow down… he was practically traveling side by side with me.. this went on for some distance.. I accelerated, he accelerated,.. I slowed down, he slowed down… I think he’s either trying to be funny or he’s looking down at female driver…
I got pissed off and irritated.. I turned off my left signal light and I sped up.. Going at abt 110km/h, I overtook the sedan that was abt 3 to 4 car spaces in front of that taxi.. then I on my signal light to filter.. that sedan, saw my signal, slowed down to let me passed… that taxi could do nothing becos that sedan is in front of him, blocking his lane… finally, I exited.. that taxi went straight… it was a blue cab, by the way…
The 1st incident left me shaken.. the 2nd left me fuming mad.. wat’s wrong with me on the road last night… Not a happy gal anymore… Maybe I shld practice more driving next time.. things like that shldn’t make me feel sad.. I muz be happy again =P

Sumo Baby...
My finance colleague just gave last Monday to her 3rd kid.. the kid arrived, weighing 4.02kg.. that's a heavy baby.. But this baby weighs the lightest among her 3 kids.. the 1st one, who weighs the heaviest, clocked a total of 4.9kg....
My colleague and her hubby are not that big size but they sure have "sumo" babies... here's a preview of the baby...

Shop Till Drop
Went shopping with my mum and sis on Sunday… almost dropped dead at the end of the day.. 1st, we went to Fox warehouse sale… so disappointing… the clothes are in a mess and the crowd is mostly made up of “tiongs”….. we went in one round, then escaped to kovan.. heartland mall….
At heartland mall, we shopped further at the pasar malam.. it was meant to be fund raising activity for Paya Lebar CC.. things sold are quite interesting.. saw a jewellery holder.. if my house is coming anytime soon, I’ll surely have bought it.. =(
After heartland mall, we had lunch at the hawker centre beside the mall… that was the only time I sat down and rest.. after that was a total nightmare.. we went to Bugis and the shopping seem never ending… even if buying a drink from Mac meant buy and drink while we shop.. oh my god…it’s was a 1pm to 6pm shopping trip for me… knees almost really gave way…
I’m so used to dear’s way of shopping… Shop for an hour and have tea.. then continue shopping for another hour and then have dinner… my stamina for shopping dropped, all tks to dear… oh dear, what is going to happen to my Bangkok trip…
Dun think my stamina will recover so fast.. so I guessed I haved to do a lot of homework before we go.. Bangkok, here I come… Must conquer you this time round.. ke ke ke.. but dear, dun worry, I’ll give you plenty of food and massage too =P… ke ke ke

Ah Ka Last Maiden Birthday Party
Went to Ah Ka’s place on Friday night… It was her last maiden birthday before her wedding next April, so her parents planned this birthday party for her..
It wasn’t really a party cos those who attended were her few closer frenzs at KPMG… 1 fremz from PWC.. her secondary sch frenzs and few of her uni frenzs… plus her cousin and her husband to be… it was more like a cozy get together session…
Visited ah ka place once.. many many years ago when I was in KP… almost lost our way there that night, if not for the wonderful map prepared by Ah Ka’s daddy… it was detailed enough that we found the place without sweat…
At the party, dear met his secondary sch frenz… the world is so small.. in fact, Singapore is so small… that guy turned out to be ah ka’s frenz’s husband.. ha ha ha.. real small world.. we left the 2 guys to entertain themselves + catching up while me and my ex-KP colleagues did our own catching up…
It was a wonderful night spent with all the chit chatting and laughter… looking forward to ah ka’s wedding in Apr next year =P

Supper @ Xin Wang
Last night, we met up with our best couple pals and their dear baby daughter for supper at Xin Wang. It was always a pleasure meeting them and watching little Jovin’s laugh and giggle… so sweet and happy…
Jovin has never failed to make dear and me laughed… Dear fed her some half boiled eggs.. and she seems to like it.. her face became “花猫脸” after all the eating… our couple pals are lucky parents to have Jovin as part of the family…. As I have my camera with me, I managed to take some pics of Jovin… Upon seeing the camer, she would have the victory hand signs.. so adorable… must get her to smile when the camera goes off and not after the flash went by….
We had a suaning session during the supper too.. target was of course my dear.. not becos of something he did but becos of something he did not.. but someone else did… it was quite funny… poor dear.. HA HA HA…. Evenur
There are some x-mas deco at Kovan Heartland Mall ard.. Jovin was excited about it.. maybe becos of the lighting… We took some nice pictures with the trees… looking forward to x-mas day… and of course the happy gift sharing feeling that goes with it… Looking forward to our next link up too =P

Baby shower
Yesterday, we attended the baby shower of Jazz’ little boy.. the baby is exactly one mth old… he is very cute, with big, clear eyes…. One mth ago, the baby name is still unknown.. so we called him Mini Ho…. But this time round, the baby has got his name… He is called Will Ho…. Chinese name is He2 Qi3 Jun4… not sure what is the exact chinese character, so better dun put any.. just the han yu pin yin will do….
We were among the 1st few to arrive, and the baby just woken up from his beauty sleep… Manage to caught him on camera with his big eyes… dear commented that the baby eyes resembled that of the daddy…. During the event, the baby became drowsy and he almost slept throughout… got a pic of him drooling off too.. what a cute baby he is…

A Different Dinner… Part 2….
Second part of the event is, of course food… Thought the dinner would be like some Chinese wedding dinner and you won’t be full even after the whole event.. This is totally untrue for that night…By the time we left the restaurant, dear and I were so full and satisfied… Let me show you the menu
Dish 1 is sharks fin… Please stop thinking about those shark fin with crab meat inside. This is totally different. You can literally see the fins. Yes, complete fins… I usually don’t take shark fins during wedding dinner but this bowl.. I finished the whole thing.. hey, it’s real sharks fin…. Not crab meat..
Dish 2 is roastedbeijing
Next dish that was served was the lobster… Never liked prawns and lobster before… especially prawns.. whenever I eat one, I’ll start vomiting becos of the smell.. but this time round, I tried the lobster… it was very fresh and there was no prawn smell at all… though I din finished the whole thing.. but pls applaud for me, for my effort & courage in trying.. 2 of us will share 1 lobster… and the lobster is much bigger than my palm.. so another incident to show the generosity of the host.
Last main dish is the hand made la mian with crab meat… the noodle is very QQ… only one action will speak of the dish… Thumb Up…. Last 2 dishes were the desserts…. One cold one - chilled sago with mango and pomelo and one hot one - souffle egg white balls with red bean… loved them both…
The dinner ended ard 10plus and the finale was a speech by the CEO of Hublot.. very gd speech and we really witnessed his passion for watch making…. A gift from Hublot ended the whole event… It was a cap from them.. The paper bag that the cap was contained in even has its strip made of the same material as the strip of my watch… had to give it all to Hublot…
This is the 1st time that I attended this kind of function.. kinda felt weird yet happy.. dear attended this kind of function before but he was always the host (on behalf of his company) and this time round, he is the guest… I guessed this is another step for us in our life towards another lifestyle….. looking forward to more of this kind of function…

A Different Dinner… Part 1….
Received an invitation from Hour Glass to attend a dinner at Grand Shanghai on Wednesday night. The dinner was the joint effort between Hour Glass and Hublot, with the intention to launch a series of new watches in the Big Bang series… So excited as this is the 1st time we got invited to this private launch..
Went Tempus (watch exhibit) a couple of months ago. Though we got personalised invitation card to the event, the event was after all still opened to public. This time round is different. This is a sit down dinner and it is not opened to public.. We even had to RSVP for our attendance…
When we reached Grand Shanghai that night, there was 2 Lamborghini parked outside the restaurant… They were so sexy… wonder if the owners of those 2 beauties are in the restaurant as well…
There are 2 parts to the event that night… The first part is the watch exhibit at one corner of the restaurant. We were viewing the gallery for the newly launched series.. wow.. the watches are also beauties… The more enhanced big bang series plus the new series with diamonds ard the rim… who can stay untouched??
We tried on a couple of the watches and we actually liked one of them.. it’s sort of black in color, with the rim in rose gold.. it’s 41mm big..and inside is chronograph… can’t find any pic on it, so can’t display it for you guys to see.. Beauty is one thing and the fact that the watch is unisex and we can share it.. there is just one factor that stop us from buying.. $$$$ …. That beauty costs abt S$20,000…. That’s so expensive… Plus even if you have tons of $$ to place order, you have to join in the waiting list.. Average waiting time for the watch is 6 months… Hot stuff huh…. We will give it a serious thought about the purchases… and don’t be surprise that the thought will take months and years cos of the seriousness (ha ha ha =P)

Behind the wheels
As usual, on Tuesday night, I went to pick dear up at Bedok camp after his RT.. Took the car, across TPE to Bedok...
Realised that my driving skills are improving, though not yet the best... yesterday, as traffic was gd, I was gg abt 100 to 110km/h on TPE... at some time, i'm even gg at 120km/h.. but heard that there's a lot "eyes" out there catching pple who are speeding, so upon hitting 120km/h, i'll just let go of my accelerator.. dun know why, but i actually liked the feeling of hitting 120km/h.. And the best part is that i dun really feel that the car is gg that fast.. hmm... that's weird...
There was once that I even mentioned to dear that I felt that our small Getz is not picking up speed fast enough... seem like i'm begining to outgrow our car liao... cos our Getz is only at 1.3 litres... But me & dear not really at the stage of changing car yet.. so will still take the Getz out to further polish my driving skills.. Next skill to work on shld be my parking.. I can tell you for sure now, my parking really sucks... will work hard on it.. 加油... 加油... 加油...
This Getz of ours have great signifinace to me and dear... this is our very own 1st car.. din get any loan from our parents to pay the deposit.. and we actually get it at quite a young age.. i'm 24 and dear is merely 28.. (thought we'll only get one when dear reach 30...more earning power mah...) .... and the date we got our car is 12th July.. that's our anniversary date... plus this Getz participated in our wedding... during our outdoor photo shoots, Getz was one of the lead in the picture... can't bear to part with our Getz at the moment...
Our Getz is 2 +++ years old already.... will wait until our hse and the baby wei or baby ting comes before making plan for a new car..... this time round will be a sedan and we plan to convert the car to normal car plate... waiting for that day to come =P

Life is short.. Pls VALUE it...
Yesterday while at work, news of our division ex-VP passed away... it was a sad moment for everyone...
Mr Goh was diagnosed with cancer 2 to 3 years back... doctor said he won't have too much time left given his bad condition.. but he pulled through with the help of his families & frenzs.. his religion and his will power... we all thought his recovery will be a miracle.. but last mth, he has a relaspe.. no symptoms at all... heard from colleagues who visited him said he was in very very bad condition last wk.. hanging on to wait for his son to return from overseas... the son came back on Monday.. and Mr Goh left us on Tues morning.... Though sad, Mr Goh must be happy to have his familes ard him till the very last moment...
The demise of Mr Goh left me thinking... Life is really short... you won't know what will happen to u.. as a strong believer in his religioon, Mr Goh neither smoke nor drink.. even without these bad hibits.. illness still strike him.. sigh...
i always believe that God is fair (though i'm a Buddhist).. he give you something, he will take something away from you too... ... like in those chinese gangster movies, i also believe that those 名言 by those gangster leaders (a.k.a male leads) are true i.e. 出去跑， 总得要还.... and 人在做， 天在看....
since life is so short and unpredictable.. be glad and contended with wat you have... becis of Mr Goh's demise, my colleague decided to extend a holiday trip that she has with her mum to spend more time with her... for me, i will love everyone ard me to the fullest... i'll spend more quality time with them and make share my memories are with them inside, and their with mine inside...
Remember, muz be 知足常乐...

送给伟大的妈妈
Last Sunday was mummy 18th birthday…. (Age is women’s secret… so have to substitute with 18.. ha ha ha.. anyway, mummy is always young at heart and dun think mummy will mind being 18 always..)..
We ordered pizza hut for dinner.. the dining out session will hold 1st cos Zijian is in the mid of his A level exam.. although the dinner is simple, the feeling of get together and laugh and have fun is great…
Mummy did so much so much for the family and for us, so she really deserved kisses & hugs from us…Once again, HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MUMMY =P
