L'Oreal Brandstorm pre-case presentation...

hurray!!


finally finished the presentation for the pre-case yesterday... It's such a huge load off my mind..



The entire morning, i was so keyed up i could barely sit still thru class.. The half bun that i managed to swallow lay like lead in my stomach... The minute time's up, we were off to the lab to finish printing stuff & buy some last minute stuff..



We were very excited after that - well, we didn't have any major hiccups, and i believe we at least made an impression, if not the best.. That's all that really matters - that we can do this, and we have!!!! Ya hoo!!!!!



Went for dinner after that, cos we were all starving by then.. =) Suki sushi buffet is still the best among all that i've tried.. All thanks to my twin's recommendation then.. hehe...

the yakitori is lovely!!!
and the hana lobster sushi... wish they wouldn't put the wasabi in it though.. =P

Check this out.. this is so cute!! It's like a pet - just that it also cleans the floor! hehe.... My sis bought this, a Norwegian product.. utterly cute!!






Current Lust item: Pendant lamp shade @ Ikea... 'Ah dunno~ just feel it looks good, and ain't too dear.. Always did like the sparkly stuff.. hehe..

Went to support kacy's play today - it was not bad~ The singers were really pretty good! It was about a gal who found stardom with the support of the special guy, and made peace with her dad who was adamantly against her career choice. Then of course, needing a 'drama' part, so the guy dies, just like in the song 叶子.

In between each scene, one of the artistes will sing a solo - Interesting way of presenting and making sure everyone gets a chance to be heard.. The female lead really did sing very well, and her acting is pretty good too.. Really glad I went to support Kacy.. ^^


Then went to buy the Balestier bak kut teh for my mummy for dinner.. Yummy hot soup on a cold day! hehe.. Lovely!!


Now, must start working towards my own dreams, type type type.. Hmmmmm......

This is my fav song right now... 梁山伯与茱丽叶 ^^

歌手:卓文萱/曹格 专辑:习惯
梁山伯与茱丽叶词 曲:曹格专辑:习惯

我的心唱首歌给你听
歌词是如此的甜蜜
可是我害羞我没有勇气
对你说一句我爱你

为什么你还是不言不语
难道(是)你不懂我的心
不管你用什么方式表明
我会对你说我愿意

千言万语里
只有一句话能表白我的心
千言万语里
只有一句话
就能够让我们相偎相依

我爱你你是我的茱丽叶
茱丽叶
我愿意变成你的粱山伯
幸福的每一天
浪漫的每一夜
把爱永远不放开
I love you

我爱你你是我的罗密欧
罗密欧
我愿意变成你的祝英台
幸福的每一天
浪漫的每一夜
美丽的爱情祝福着未来

为什么你还是不言不语
不言不语
难道是你不懂我的心
不管你用什么方式表明
我会对你说我愿意
Went to Daybed Bar yesterday, just for a bit of chill out time - finally!! Hee.. Love the atmosphere there... The deco is lovely, all white with minimalistic drapings, all shown up with lightings... The light alternates between red and blue~and of course, blue is the best!! hehe....Wat else do u try there but its martinis.. Here's mine, Lychee Kiwi martini! Yummilicious!!! =D Was deciding between The Daybed which was a cream based-martini, and this, but i really miss my lychee martinis~! hee.. Love that place - i want to go back there again!!!

Finishing up all your errands isn't that important today -- starting new projects is. So put off picking up your dry cleaning, getting more kitty litter or stopping to get your oil changed. These things can wait. But when an opportunity or invitation lands right in your lap, you have to take it! Don't let your day-to-day routine make you forget that life is an adventure. Go down an unexplored path today. You can check off all the items on your to-do list some other day.

fooling around in Minitoons in J8.. ^^

Thursday, January 11

Well, i'm so amazed at myself.. Hee.. Just went for a run with one of my neighbours.. yea, it's the wee hours of the morning, and i have 8.30 class tml, and it's going to be 8 hours straight of classes.. hahaha.. I think i've gone mad... Woo hoo.. jogging in NTU is cool.. Haven't done this for ages... =D
Some people ah, simply refuse to let me sleep properly, early in the morning wake me up.. Grr... well, no matter, despite having had to watch a horror show, i was lucky that i managed to fall asleep last night.. hehe..

Went to Ikea again - was actually goin to go shop around @ Queensway, but since my dear Jean has things she wants to buy, decided to go there to help her buy.. =P
Then ended up playing in Ikea for too long, so after a must-have trip to Mr. Avocado again, it's back to J8 to meet Jean..

Dinner & window shopping at J8 till 9 plus, then went home to pack & now, finally back in hall.. @_@ So stone..

Wednesday, January 10

Feel like i'm 'running show' today.. Met up w different grps of pple one after another...

Free day today still, cos it's the first week of school.. Decided to accompany Gigi to Ikea to shop for the stuff she wants.. Ate the meatballs at Ikea - hee.. Having the food when it's piping hot is always the best! hee.. After shopping, went over to the hawker centre nearby where Gigi showed me the Mr. Avocado fruit juice stall. Ok, i've been in love w avocado juice since i first tried it a yr ago - and this place sells really great avocado juice and it's really reasonable priced! Hee..

Project & dinner in town in the afternoon...

Movie w my dear Janice, Kellyn & Jamie after that... Argh~ super mistake - i should've asked what movie we were going to watch before agreeing - they wanted Spirit of the Victim. Die lo.. I spent more than half the movie covering my eyes and making lame jokes so that i won't get scared outta my life.. Ya, then there was this really funny fella - in the middle of nothing, he suddenly gave a gasp - as if there was something scary - it really broke the tension.. hee.. the entire cinema was laughing because of him.. =D


argh... not going to be able to sleep tonight le.....

Tuesday, January 9

First day of class today...

The Acc lecturer has this interesting feature whereby students can give comments thru sms - and while the lecturer was blabbering on, this funny fella sent - "Where is the lecturer?" What an uproar.. hee.. everyone laughed like mad - cos why? Hee.. Our lecturer is a leetle on the large side.... =P
Met Ben (no~... not the NTU one...) for dinner & movie after class today.. Went to watch "Shang Cheng". Been a long time since i watched a mandarin movie in the cinemas.. It's really good - even though the killer was known, the whys and hows of the storyline kept me interested throughout.. =) Good show!

She told the guy: wo ai ni.
He: Wo ye ai ni.
She: Ni pian wo.
Ni dao di shi ai wo -
hai shi ai ni zhi ji.

Horoscope's being creepy again:

No matter how hard you try, you just can't read this person's mind. Save your sanity and stop overanalyzing all their words and actions. Forget about what they might have 'really' meant. Concentrate on your own life.

I needed this - I really did...
Quote from a player:

"Most first timers will experience an euphoria like feeling. Time stops and you feel like floating in endless space."

Guess what~ i met Xiao-Chelle, my xiao mei from Anderson, so many years ago!! haha.. haven't seen her since 6 or 7 years ago le.. ^^ She was with Ying, who we ended up taking the train with since we are all AMK-ians... hee..

30th Dec 06, Sat

My sister dearest has finally come back!! Waited to have a good chat with her this afternoon before i went out for the night.. Met Shuyin to go Dbl O - and dragged along Jaime, Janice & Gigi... Not bad i would say, and the supper at Jalan Kayu after that w the gals & Eddy was nice.. =)
29th Dec 06, Fri

4A gathering @ The Heeren...

First time we had so many people - 15 this time.. =) Shimin, Tianhua, Bihui, Elynia, Huiyi, Junyi & GF Peishan, Kenny, Meiyan, Shaoyan, Shuyin, Eddy & ta-da~!! Chun Sheng!! Hehehe... Thanks everyone for 'giving face' & turning up on time.. (or pretty near it anyway~)

Haha, we had fun - made Kenny blur like mad, insisting Peishan was one of us, and that he had forgotten.. Hee.. Well, she is one of us now, anyway.. =) Brought our Pri3 class photo - deliberately one - somemore i got laminate the thing one lor - if not i think somepeople would likely tear it up.. haha... Then when anyone mentions someone who's not here & people go "Who??", people will grab for the class photo & point out who the person looked like years ago.. =D

We wanted to go to The Village previously, but the queue was like MAD!! In the end, we went to Billy Bombers - we were so surprised it could fit all 15 of us.. Shuyin's the best, acc me go around - not like certain people - only know how to talk & act princess... -_-" Luckily i already have my escape route planned.

Upped & ran after dinner to watch Death Note 2 with the couple & her.. Not a bad show - unexpected ending in that usually film producers are unwilling to 'kill' off the main hero, especially when they popularized him so much... Interesting..

Then i was going to go home originally de - then Gigi called & ask me go Thumper!! Haha.. So exciting.. Christmas that weekend never club, so decided to go~ Glad that i did - got to know a few other frens, including this interesting lady who introduced herself out of the blue.. Haha.. happening night~ ^^

What is Love, that makes so many its victim, hurt, broken, but a shadow of their former selves...

Love means... You will be willing to do anything to let the other person have a better life - even if it means a life without them.

Yet sometimes, even when you have gone through so many adversities together, the hurt can overwhelm all that has been put into the relationship...

When that happens, there is nought to do but to get past the hurt, and make a better life - even if it means a life without them.


Dear fren, it's time to pick up the pieces, discard those unusable, and remake your life from the good parts.. In time, a whole new you will be reflected in the mirror which you will make for yourself...

So proud of myself this Christmas...
Cos i didn't club a single night~! haha... Pubbing w frens & chatting only~

Sunday, December 17

Went to watch La Sylphide le~ Not bad, good production! =) Me & my mummy in Esplanade Theatre!

Bought this lovely pair of jeans at Giordano.. Somehow, their jeans are just nice for me! hee.. thankfully, to be able to get affordable, quality goods~ ^^ pple buy jeans, i buy the 'crop' cut.. Why? Cos unfold already, it's the perfect length for jeans for me~! hahaha... Anyway, it's gonna be one of my CNY clothes, so gotta resist the temptation to wear it now.. It's really nice, with interesting details that is not overboard. & it is one sale now! No idea why, but I was at Citylink Mall before the show, and it's 30% off! super good buy! hee..

Anyway, b4 the ballet started, ,my mum & i were walking around Esplanade when we saw this exhibition in the main lobby @ level1.. The wire sculptures are amazing.. The artist captured the nuances of people in their interactions with each other.. My camera phone being not very great, of course can't do justice to the details.. go & see it for yourself if u're in the vicinity.. =) The shape of 'her' hair, the feeling expressed...

Saturday, December 16


One of the most interesting clubbing days yesterday.. We club-hopped like crazy! haha...

First we went to check out The Cannery at Clarke Quay. It was an invite from whosgoing, and we could hop around all the 5 new outlets.. There's a few interesting concepts. First off that people will remember is the Clinic. The one that has sterile deco and medical-associated names and all. Interesting i would say...

Received lousy service at Kandi Bar.. The waiter didn't even know how to spell daiquiri... -_-" But the place is nice la.. Overall, the ones i feel i would like to go back again would be Barfly & Fashion Bar.. Luxe decadence & hip... hehe... Ladies, go & see.. You'll know what i mean.... =)
Went over to St James later, to look for my fren.. We went into this club called Movida. Nice place, mix of R&B, latin, and latin live music... interesting mix isn't it.. Yuan, this time we can really go clubbing together le.. got things u like & got things i like.. hee...Well, anyway, we found that at St James, once u enter any one club, u can hop to all & any of the rest~! Ain't that great! haha.. so we hopped again!!

We checked out Powerhouse - essentially it's house music, like Zouk, but Zouk is better... Way better... the only interest point is the way beer is served - in a dispenser to the table, and the occasional trapeze artistes... Verdict: see see look look only, unless u like trance with weird words like "goreng pisang" throughout the song.. yeah, it's that weird...

Next was Dragonfly.. Of course, it's known for being Chinese & Canto pop with the live band.. BUT... hehe.. it plays R&B~! Amazing right!! I was pleasantly surprised... haha.. And the R&B is good one de lor... Verdict: Can try again~

Got home super 'early'.. very long never so 'early' le... super tired eh.. ^^

Friday, December 15

Rambling 2

Daily horoscope (by Astrology.com)

Socializing is becoming such a big part of your life right now that it might start to seem like a chore. So in order to keep the fun alive, take a break! One or two days of downtime will help you appreciate the party lifestyle all the more. Use today to take care of errands, do some chores around the house, or indulge in a little bit of inertia. Soon enough, you'll be back to living large. Only this time, you'll see it as a welcome change of pace instead of a monotonous routine.

This is soo~ true!!!

And i only saw this just now~ Last night, i dragged out clothes which i have been wanting to tack or sew the beads etc, and did it.. Today, i helped my mum with the painting she's been wanting to do.. Ok, it is house painting - not 'artistic' kinda painting... So have to scrape off the old paint before we can do anything.. Trust me, it is fierce de~ This is the ceiling lo.. We only did half of the kitchen today, and we were at it the whole afternoon and night.... =(

Sigh.. wanted to bake today one too de, but in the end, couldn't cos we weren't able to finish the painting...

Monday, December 11

Horoscope today~!

Overview: Find an outlet for your artistic energy. Remember that part of maintaining creativity is finding innovative ways to express it, too. Meticulous attention to detail helps you find new avenues for manifestation.
Hee.. what if dun have time to be creative?? Nvm.. i can do it!! Try try try.... For what? Cannot say now though, gotta wait till it's over~ *act mysterious* haha....

Met Jean for a chat yesterday night at the new Mac in AMK.. I love that place now.. It's got such a lovely atmosphere, and the deco is good. It has McCafe & Mac together, just like the outlet in West Coast Park.. And of course, combined with the greenery of AMK Park~ Best!!! =D Clem, i'm holding you to it oh~ I wanna go again soon.. haha...

Sis, i'm waiting for you to come back, & i'm counting down!!! 17 more days!! Then once u & Mark settle back in, i'm dragging you to all the nice nice places i've found! ^^ Miss you~!!!

Sunday, December 10









Kelly & Janice~
Me & Evanda~! ^^
I realised i was the only one in white, all 3 of them are in black.. Hee.. extra, i know.. =D
The squeeze at the Guess outlet in Vivo..
Scary...
Me & my sis @ VCH~ ^^

Horoscope today~
The stars spark your creativity, but on the flip side, this imaginative immersion may also make you a little moodier than normal. Go with it. You don't always have to have a sunny disposition.
9th Dec

Originally a slow quiet day de.. But~ hehe.. ended up running around the whole day!

Goal update:
Vivocity - 75% accomplished!

Went Vivocity shopping again! Met up w Yunxi after so many years, haha.. We aimed to finish level 2, and we more or less did it - shops that are around elsewhere are not included! Gosh, we window-shopped for 2 hours straight, and the best part were all the lovely accesories shops. Oh.. if only i'm not on budget!! All of the stuff are so pretty! Oh well... Then there's a major sale at Guess. the amount of people in the small shop is amazing. People keep trying to squeeze in, but no one's budging! huh~ Shoppers.. -_-" In stark contrast, MANGO is totally empty. haha....

Ok, one thing i don't understand about Vivo, the cafes there are all so small, seating is very very limited... it's super sian. In the end, we went back to harborfront centre's starbucks! hee.. and we got a sofa seat, so happy! Our legs were giving way already~ haha! Really, the array of shops in Vivo is mind-boggling.

Home for dinner, then it's out again, with my sister to a concert by SSO @ VCH.

It was really good actually. It's not the normal kind of concert where we go in, seat down and listen till u wanna sleep... It's wat the conductor called a Promenade concert. This means that we get to move around too.. Hee.. interesting ba~
The conductor talked to us about the music of the various classical music composers. It's a concert to introduce us to the various composers, thus the interesting way of conducting it. They involved the audience in parts of the concert too.
Like this composer, Berlioz, his greatest symphony, the Symphonie Fantastique, was supposedly written under the influence of opium when the composer was infatuated with a young woman. Long story short, under the influence of the drug, he kills the young woman when he realised his love was not going to be returned. One part of the symphony was about 'him' being marched to the scaffold and beheaded. The audience were asked to gather at the front of the stage and cheer at the end, acting as the bloodthirsty peaseants of the French Revolution period. Hee.. Really interesting!
They also played John WIlliams' "Hedwig's Theme", which was written for Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone! Ah~ Lovely... Trust me, no matter how good any system is - nothing can be better than an orchestra. Played live, and you can see the beauty & mystery of the making of the music right in front of your eyes. It's a magical feeling.

Well, enough about that part of the evening..
Ok, all hostelites would have received the MOS party invite for MILKSHAKE which is obviously, on the 9th seeing Zouk-out is on the same night. Ha! So, being free entry, u can just imah-gine the CRUSH!!! Not to mention all the free invites being given out by whosgoing.sg...
oh my gosh... I reached there at 10pm, and the queue's like all the way round the block! I heard from Alan that at 9pm, the queue was already like that!! Fierce... Luckily we were able to get in early. Got to know Evanda, Kelly (ya, another one.. haha~), Ed, Frederick, Gary.. All fun-loving pple, and we had lots of fun! Later on, i managed to smuggle Janice in - without paying.. hee.. really is pattern 'chu dao wan'! Really is thanks to Alan!! =D

It's really a pity i wasn't able to go find Wei. We went in together de, but for various reasons, we separated la.. So sorry gal, i really wanted to find u one, but my phone's like totally flat! can't even switch on long enough to receive a sms.. Luckily Alan's phone still has ur no., and i could msg u from his phone. Otherwise, i can just imagine~ *thinks..* hee...
Oh! got to know this really interesting character, Alfi san! wondering, he should be one of the MOS ambassadors too ba! hee.. And one of the photographers from whosgoing.sg too - Unka! hee.. it's really a challenge to remember their names, cos my phone is down ma~ But i did it! *self-satisfied* haha...
Huh, and there's this one of the guys, shall not mention names - tried to get one of the ladies drunk. It was super obvious. You know, playing 5-10, and trying to pa-ka with his fren to get her to drink. Hah~! He ended up being the one flat on the floor!! and it's really really gone kinda flat. His frens had to drag him out to the cab. The cab uncle even said if he vomits, out they go! haha! Serves him right.. Gal power! *Salutez!!*
Ok, that's the highlights of Sat night.. hee.. so, rest day today!! ^^
8th Dec

Open house at Elements. supposed to become the bodyguard for the bust treatment showing, in the end -Sigh.. become server again. cos the stupid prawn cocktail that was ordered for the buffet is in teacups, can't throw it away. darn it. dredge up my old memories of banqueting in westin... -_-" Told mark i'm gonna charge him double, hahaha...

Hee.. tried doin the hand paraffin wax too!! so nice!! you can Really feel the difference immediately. Now i understand wat's all the fuss about.. hee.. =D

Supper with Chloe after work. Good food, great company.. haha... Man, she can eat! haha... She's really hungry, me too, cos none of us felt comfortable eating much earlier on, cos the food amount's really really little.. 90 pax? i don't think so..... Commented to my boss that better don't cater from them again. Wat a waste of money...

Friday, December 8

Sometimes after spending time with a person or group, there will be some happenings or something that becomes the classic joke- that will tickle the people involved so much that the mere mention of it will cause grins all round..

Especially staying in close quarters such as hostel - the potential for comedy is limitless! =D

Classic phrase of last sem with Jean-just moved in, simultaenously~
me: "small dubby meet big dubby!"
her: "big dubby meet small dubby!"
*a bit of a private joke!* haha...

Classic phrase of this sem with Rui- exam period, tried to wake up at 7.30am.
My alarm clock was blaring at max volume, and Rui passed it to me.. Bleary eyed, i blurted out "sorry, i tot it was background music..."
*xiao4 fan1 le4~*
Went J8 yesterday w WW for window shopping & dinner.. Hee.. chanced upon the open air area there. They have this 'snow' machine, and we got pretty nice 'snow'.. hehe.. Quite a romantic feel - so, recommendation - good for couples~ ^^

Well.. went to check out Timbre tonight with my schoolmates- Slow, kinda quiet night.. Early night too, for which i'm grateful, cos i didn't sleep enough last night..

Ok, back to the topic at hand, Timbre. It was labelled "A Home for Local Musicians", and apparently is home to a different band every day of the week.

The band today played top 40's songs.. Pretty ok, has a certain amount of standard. But of course, compared to the band at Rouge or THUMPER, there's no fight... (haha.. how judgemental i sound..) I don't mean they r bad,really! Juz that, maybe i'm used to another band's kind of atmosphere and charisma... =)

On the whole, a nice place to chill - OH! One thing, the ambience is to die for!!! The trees there are BEAUTIFUL!! Just imagine, old trees, intertwined with one another, towering over you... Cleverly brought to life with dim, strategic spotlights.. The furniture consists of solid wood tables and chairs, giving a rustic feel to the place....

Hmmm... Nice...

Random thoughts:
I really ought to be more optimistic and believe in my own abilities.....


Went junction 8 for a late night movie w yuan on Fri & watched casino royale.. Well, really big difference from the James Bond of old.. And know wat, i think i really much prefer the 'old' James Bond played by Pierce Brosnan.. This guy can't carry the character off leh... Like M says, he has an overly developed finger that is oh-sO trigger happy... DOn't like that a lot.. And the plot is typical, but even more overdone.. jialat... At least the female lead is pretty??
Well, seems like 'mo gong' would have had been a better choice.. But my picky gal.. *think think, shake head* sigh...

HOME IMPROVEMENT: Finally can change things around at home-
This old photo album contains namecards i've kept, and i've finally gotten the time to change the cover - it's now a beautiful Angel. The other old album now holds ticket stubs of memorable movies. The cover is aptly of the Devil wears Prada. =)

I also changed the deco on my room door. Hee... time for Aslan to take a break... Nothing special this time, just some postcards w designs i find representative...
Then there's this brass traditional decoration in my home - three words, FU LU SHOU. We used to polish it every year at CNY.. But it's been two to three years since we last did it.. Figured it's about time.. hehe...

Libra 23/11/06 - Astrology.com


You're one cool cat when you want to be. Let that balanced nature of yours take a backseat to some naughty impulses. Rather than trying to put everyone around you at ease, think about what you want.
Despite all the advice you've been given, focusing on your limits today is not going to help you get past them. Right now, you need to forget about whatever is holding you back. The more you think about it, the more power you're giving it. It's time to fake it until you make it! Stride forward with all your energy, and don't even think about failure. If you can convince yourself of your value, then other people will soon be convinced, too -- and doors will start opening.
________________
Ya right.. fake it... probably hit the brick wall with all your energy b4 making it.... =X Somehow, i don't feel v convinced of any value...........
today's paper is one of the worst i feel i have ever written.. worst still, to be honest, it is not so much as difficult leh.. It is that i have no TIME!!! argh....

this is Q2: Design the research study with emphasis on the key aspects of the research process, namely, research objectives, selected research design, data collection methods, sample selection, data gathering procedures and data analysis.

that one still ok... this one even better!

Q3: Design a questionnaire that can be used in a nationwide telephone survey to address these two issues.

how to write a questionnaire in 30 min?????
People use at the very least, a few hours to get something like that out lor!!!
you say la, how to finish??

Sucky....

Libra - Daily Extended Forecast for November 21, 2006

Horoscope from Astrology.com Libra (Sep 23 - Oct 22)

It's time to go much deeper with someone you work or go to school with. Formality is keeping real communication from happening, and you are in danger of being misunderstood. There's no need for you to cross the line from professional to personal, so don't fret about having yet another friend to integrate into your social circle. All you need to do is keep in mind that you're talking to a real person who has a sense of humor. Lighten things up.

Seems quite true.. I was just only thinking of some stuff... hahaha.. As always, proven, i think too much... =P

Yippee.. Posted!!!

This feels like me...

Old things, old places are never truly gone.
They live on everytime we remember them.

Sunday 12th Nov 2006 - 'Home' Alone 3

Simply put, i flat out refused to wake up early on Sunday and entertain the kids.. I stayed in bed till 12pm when my 'spies' told me the coast was clear - the family has gone home.. hahaha... Darn shag, u know.. =D But yeah, i love playing with kids, hee..

So this day was a day for us to rest, relax and do some more clearing up.. Dinner was started early, bbq tonight!! Wen was in charge of the marination of the chicken wings that day, and she literally dumped in half a bottle of oyster sauce and sesame oil.. amazing.. Super NKF... haha..

Tonight's culinary theme was Whiskey~!!! We have chicken wings with whiskey, whiskey prawns, mushroom in whiskey, and even crabmeat cooked in whiskey..

And we almost had a "shi san yao" winner during our mahjong game after dinner.. hee.. wat a pity, needed 3 more tiles.. =)

Lovely ending to a great chalet.. =D

See these balloon animals? yeah, i made 'em all.. haha.. Cute kids right... =)
The happy bride~!!

Saturday 11th Nov 2006 - Night of the BBQ & Buffet


The family on the bride's side came early next day, and amazingly, Wen got up even earlier then i did @ 9am.. But after seeing she was up, i went back to sleep.. why? Cos the night before, missy yuan refused to let me sleep till 4.30am... Zzzzz..... And i'm a sick gal after the ride from the teahouse to the chalet, after getting drenched, then the aircon at full blast... Janice was sick too, so the two of us slept till the bride dragged us up to help with the kids at 11plus...

Afternoon, we started the decorations, and dragged the guys into it too.. Lucky we had them - one of 'em didn't even need a ladder.. hahaha... Then one guy broke the pump we bought to blow up the giant balloon - hee... what else, he blow lo.. =P I think that nearly killed the poor fella, haha.. And i must say, Edward is a great husband - he came up w the idea for this... So sweet..


The entire evening, i was being the cameralady cum entertainer.. No peace lo, the whole night.. This sweet little gal in my lap? Aint' she cute!! Wen's littlest cousin, Candice.. Wa.. so cute leh, and sweet tempered.. =D Ok, sorta neglected being a cameralady cos of 'em, but wouldn't ur heart melt if the kids come to you when they get hurt instead of to their own mummy?? Well, at least i made 3 little kids happy! haha...


Ok la, got some entertainment stuff when ed got saboed again. Poor guy... Speaking of which, wish i can slap that guy who made Edward drink some stoopid concoction, and then no guts to drink even half a bottle of stout. See him no up. GUTLESS WIMP!!!!! You better go bang your head against the wall and die!!!


Sat around chatting with Jan, Wen, Yuan & Charles after everything died down till 1am.. So, early night on Sat... For once..

Friday 10th Nov 2006 - Wen & Edward's ROM

Well, it's official now, my best pal is now a married woman.. haha.. man, that feels weird.. =) But i guess more because i really don't feel any difference?? dunno if that makes sense or not.. well, watever..

Anyway, most importantly, we all had fun - and everything (almost) went smoothly...

Went over to Wen's place in the morning to drop off my stuff, then we went to do her hair.. Yuan joined us there, back to Wen's place for lunch. Her mum cooked yummy prawns, fried just the way my mummy does it too.. hee.. super temptation, if i didn't have to fit into my dress, i think i would have swiped the whole plate.. =P

Then we got dressed up, and her brother sent us all to the registry of marriages.. Luckily the girlfriend insisted we all take their car, cos the minute we reached the carpark, it started raining.. -_-" It's totally boring.. And it was slow slow traffic all the way there. Poor Edward, i think he almost went out of his mind.. hee...

Things went smoothly after that, and a few funny stuff happened too, but all in all, everything's great. A little hiccup when the guests are 'ferried' over to where wen decided to have the tea. But the food was good.. So after that, it was time to go to the chalet - and it started pouring. Just as we stepped out of the restaurant.. Sigh... I ended up being stuck w her mum alone all the way down to the chalet.. Oh gosh.. spare me... I nearly went crazy... And i'm tired lo, been up early too, so i fell asleep - rather conveniently, i might say.. haha...

That night, Edward got sabo-ed like crazy by his buddies. SO did Wen, i might add.. Me and janice didn't even have to lift a finger - the guys did it all for us.. All i did was to add in a phrase or two.. hahahaha....

Work's been heating up a Leetllee bit.. thankfully this CMI colleague has left us - so even though it's busy or anything, we are all just doing our things nicely, and things get done.. No need to get high BP over her anymore.. I think my colleagues are so happy.. haha.. Of course, on the same note, another well-loved colleague has left the co., and the rest are sad too - so also not much mood to bother about the weird one.. haha...

My best friend's getting married in two days time - my gosh!! It feels so weird.. Just think about it, she can now put "married" on application forms and on friendster officially!! My goodness!!! The other day we went out, and i couldn't help but disturb her - Every now and then, i'll go, "Hey, in _ _ hours more, you'll be a married woman!!!" or "This is the last time all of us are coming out together with Singles status le..." hehe... I think i'm stressing her out.. =D

Anyway, preparing for the decorations for her celebratory chalet after the ROM... Got so much to do when i think about it.. Went for a shopping spree yesterday at the Concourse. So much fun! Well, i know what to get for her wedding pressie le, juz need some $ to buy it.. =O Man, i need to work.. so totally broke!!!

Advance announcement - HAll 2 D&D will be at MOS, 22nd Dec, after the exams.. R&B all night!! Anyone interested? 'Outsiders' welcome.. haha.... $16 for the tics.. Have just let me know, k! =)

I saw this on a friend's blog recently. All i can say is that i pray the people responsible for this will get their just desserts.. Please help to spread the word, and help to stop this - don't support drugs!!!
___________________________
Note: Not for those with weak heart !
Pray and be prepared for a shock when you read it. This story is extremely sad.
My sister's co-worker has a sister in Texas who, with her husband, was planning a weekend trip across the Mexican border for a shopping spree.
At the last minute their baby sitter canceled, so they had to bring along their two-year-old son with them. They had been across the border for about an hour when the baby got free and ran around the corner. The mother went chasing but the boy had disappeared. The mother found a police officer that told her to go to the gate and wait.
Not really understanding the instructions, she did as she was told. About 45 minutes later, a man approached the border carrying the boy. The mother ran to him, grateful that he had been found. When the man realized it was the boy's mother, he dropped the boy and ran. The police were waiting and got him.
The boy was dead. In the (less than) 45 minutes he was missing, he was cut open, ALL of his insides removed and his body cavity stuffed withCOCAINE.
The man was going to carry him across the border as if he were asleep. A two-year-old boy, dead, discarded as if he were a piece of trash for somebody's cocaine.
If this story can get out and change one person's mind about what drugs mean to them, we are helping.
Please send this E-mail to as many people as you can.
Let's hope and pray it changes a lot of minds. The saddest thing about the whole situation is that those persons who suffer are innocent and people we love...

Been very tired these few days.. Putting in a little more effort at work these 2 days.. ZZZzzz... Still lack of sleep... what to do, "demand and supply" applies in work situations as well.. haha...

After just working one day on Fri, i totally emphatise w my colleagues - this new colleague really cannot make it.... Sigh... How can a person - after working for about a month, dun even know how to check and bring a customer to the correct room.. But seriously, i dun think it's that she can't do it. I think she is just plain lazy. Pls la, she can do sales, but 'cannot' clear up a few cups??? IMpossible!!! I can understand not able to multitask, but.. Not receptive to feedback, not proactive, not aware of her surrondings- at all.. Argh...

So looking forward to my dear pal's ROM next weekend.. =) So exciting.. we are going to have so much fun!! Planning and shopping for it.. hahaha....
