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...

Irresponsible Doctor & Nurses
Supposed to go for my annual medical chk up. I had specially arranged for this morning cos the female doc is only ard on tues and thurs morning... So i reschdueld my work and applied for morning half day..
But when i arrived at the clinic, the nurse said the doc won't be coming in... huh.. wat's that all abt??? the nurses said the doc had immediate errants to run, so she won't be in today.. so wat's is gg to happen to me? the nurses on duty even have the cheeks to say that they are just abt to call me when i walked in... why, they think i'm 3 yrs old kid, easy to bluff....
i'm not angry with the doc for failing to turn up.. but at least, give me a cue... they shld have called me the day before and i could cancelled my leave... waste my leave just like that... hello, i'm not a hse wife who is super free.... they proposed me to take half day again, tom... they think i own the company, is it???
what's wrong with pple in the service industry??
i got so pissed off that i said i'll consider abt the check up again.... they are so so irresponsible.. called dear immediately after i came out of the clinic.. we are going to mention this to the main doc in charge abt this and hope that the doctors & nurses there would change their attitude at work...
