Diary Design & Wedding D & D @ P.S Cafe

2012-01-17T15:10:00.007+08:00

Actually not many know that besides doing Freelance Make Up, i am also helping a friend in Wedding Planning and Coordination... am doing this freelance too. Last nite, we had our 'Company' D & D at P.S Cafe in Orchard. Very high class place and the food is yummy!

The ambience is nice... and whats interesting is that the waitress IC of serving us is an Ang Mo... interesting yea...

I am not someone who is into Western food (PS Cafe serves Western food), so i chose something 'safe' to eat.. Breaded Chicken in a basket. If you look at the picture below, its num (2). It looks simple and nothing yummy abt it... well at least thats wat i thot la... BUT.... it comes with 2 sauces (Cheese and some Asian sauce)... and if you go with the Cheese, its yummy-licious!! I dont really like cheese acty, but last nite, i finished the whole cup of cheese! it just taste delicious with the breaded chicken! Acty, the breaded chic alone is alrdy yummy! woah!

I also ordered their mushroom soup (num 1). Its thick but not salty enuff... still yummy lah.. :)
Our dessert were Triple Chocolate Blackout (3) and Coffee Eclair. (3) is very yummy too! Didnt quite like the Coffee Eclair even tho would say its also nice.. hahaha.. dont quite like coffee ma.. :)

So the rating for P.S Cafe at Palais Ressanience (not sure if this is the correct spelling) at level 2:

Food : 8.5 out of 10
Deco & Ambience : 8 out of 10
Price : 7 out of 10
Service : 7.5 out of 10
Overall : 8 out of 10

I forgot to say that the prices for the food (main course) range between $20 plus to $60, depending on what you order. Soup is abt $15 (pretty big bowl), dessert should be abt $10 - $15 (if i didnt rem wrongly). They got sides also, but we didnt order cos the portion of the main course is pretty big.. you will surely feel full towards the end.. :)

If you wanna dine at some nice ambience restaurant for some special occassions, try here.. I dont have the number to call but guess you can always check that out online. :)

Anw, since its our D & D, Lily is also in the mdist of updating our webby, we got into a short photo session after the dinner. We took a few nice ones... at least the poses were cool and class... hahah.. but i am posting only 1 here (btw this is not the best hor.. hee...)..

If you want to engage Wedding Planner, pls feel free to consider Diary Design and Wedding! http://diarydesignwedding.com/

And a snapshot from the gals in the team... :)

*Chaos!*

Michela - Fallen Sick

2012-01-15T14:28:00.007+08:00

This picture shows a seemingly healthy Michela taking her nap... but the truth is that she was having a high fever when this snapshot was taken. Last nite, she suddenly was running a pretty high fever... Even tho we gave medicine alrdy, but it doesnt seem to work. So we decide to rush her to KKH. At 330am, we took a cab down to the hospital. It was raining cats n dogs at that very moment. Very d r a m a..... lol.

Reached hospital, took blood test and X Ray and they showed that her white blood cells are on the higher end (which shouldnt be for a normal human being) and there are phelgm in her lungs. Doctor said it is Chest Infection (a cold or flu that has gone a little wrong, and serious). Gave her quite a lot of medications (with 2 stronger anti-biotics) and we need to observe her for 3 days. If fever still high, most likely need to admit hospital.

SIGH... gotta really pray, pray and pray... that her fever will totally subside within these 2 days manz... If not, she will have to spend her CNY in hospital. :(

Help me pray pls...

Btw, i didnt sleep a wink thru the nite while MK slept a few hours here and there... I couldnt get to zzz... was pretty worried for Michela.. even after we got home from hospital.. i was still checking on her fever... Now, i am having that insufficient sleep hangover! Gotta go zzzz sooon!

Before i go, just wanna say that yesterday, during my work, saw this lovely word block and decide to take a picture of one of the most amazing words on earth : L O V E.

The bible says that "Love covers a multitude of sins." This is soooo true. Becos of love, God sent His Son. Becos of love, parents sacrifice for their children. Becos of love, people are willing to die for each other. I want to love my family more each day. Love my frens, love my ministry, love my life and love myself! More importantly, I wanna love God more and more every single day. :)

(Taken using "Vintage Cam", a photo app that can be installed for free!)

And this is ME.. signing off using Instagram with a little PS effect. Heeee...

Chaos! :)

Photo Apps!

2012-01-13T21:02:00.009+08:00

I think i didnt regret getting iphone. Installed quite a number of photo apps (of cos i DL free ones lah wahaha) and have been playing ard with them... very fun!

I installed a total of 6 photo apps! I think thats quite a lot for a hp wor... :)

I did up my Ayumi pictures collection using "Pic Collage" and totally love it! :)

Next up is the "Multi Lens" app. You can choose whether you want Vertical or Horizontal (like the one below) as well as how many photos to put in (thnk the max is 6 photos). If you find this one familiar... heheh... yea... its my recent new blog head photo! :) NICE?? :p

Did 1 more using the same functions.. NICE?? :p

Okie, the following 2 were done up using "Pic Collage" also...

And you get to choose your preferred background... Can also insert text as well as sticker in! FUN HOR??

I am really loving it because it just look so Pro and simple to use. :)

You try it!

Randoms.

2012-01-11T22:14:00.013+08:00

Yesterday was considered a 'day-off'' for me. Gotten permission from hubby to buy CNY clothes and he sponsor *GRIN*... So went to Bugis Village and bought a few apparels. Was happy & satisfied but yet tired.

Anw, i still have my MAC make up voucher given by Serene for 2011 bday and it was going to expire on 14 Jan 2012, so specially make a trip down to Taka MAC Store to see if there is anything that i can get there using the voucher. Went in and started looking at their eyeshadow collection. Low and behold, this colour caught my eye...

Its call Shale Satin. Totally love the colour! So without much hesitation, i bought it! Soooo gonna use it soon! :)

After that i wanted to make a trip down to Far East from Wisma... so passed by my favourite brand at Taka... took a snapshot using Instagram effects (i told you i like these effects liaoz! hahah) and here... my new 'love' :)

Anw, i heard that my GST dropped price? slightly less than $4k... *tempted*...

Just few days ago, Monday was Renjie and Isabel's wedding dinner. So took a photo of me and my make up before heading out for the dinner.. here..

I love this make up! and the earrings and the dress too! oh, and my hair! :)

Gonna stop here for nw... have been down with sore throat and bad flu since last Sat. Michela also.. she is well now but i am still in the midst of recovering... pray for me pls...

Thanks and chaos!

*Another 13 days before i turn 18.*

What a way to start 2012! =)

2012-01-09T00:23:00.021+08:00

I didnt quite end 2011 properly... meaning that things were in a mess weeks before 2011 ended. We were busy with Michela's room... all the painting and shifting tired us out... so much so that i didnt even do Christmas shopping! Then blink blink..... last day of 2011 liaoz... i remembered telling MK "wow, so fast, today is the last day of the yr!"

But never did i expect to start 2012 in such a good way... Pst Kong preached such a good message...abt Commiting oneself to a local church! I am sure, those that really listened, they will be integrated soon!

Then next was the meet ups and catch ups over a few groups of frens...

1) Ex-PSB gang
Kit was so nice to initiate the meet up and whats more... at her new house! She has such nice and cosy place to stay at... Good designs and choices of colours! William, Mel and even Jessie came! Excited and happy to see them... This grp of ex-colleagues really are one of the closest to me so far in my working life... Treasure them... and i am looking forward to the nex catch up soon at William's!! :p But the only 'inperfect' of that meet up was that we forgot to take a picture tog... booo... nvm nvm.. we shall rememeber to do it the next time. :)

2) Steamboat Dinner at Quentin & Linda's
We haven seen them for a good 6 months acty... and they are so kind to invite us to their house for steamboat fellowship! Specially cooked and boil the soup just for us! How nice of them... :) It was a good catch up in fact... We love them too and will be looking forward to the next meet up again, this time with Darren and Charlotte! :P

Our nice pic with them using my Instagram from ip4s... Really love the effects!

3) This isnt an intentional meet up... in fact it was after today's church service where we 'accidentally' saw each other... It started with Becky thanking me for all that was done for the cg and her.... Immediately, i teared... becos i was touched by her. But felt pretty embarressed that i acty cry so easily! ai yo.... Huixuan ah Huixuan.... :(

Then saw Mingming shortly after that.. 3 of us started chatting and they thank me for not giving up on the cg. Ming said that i totally won her over.. and Becky is so so much more opened to me as compared to the past... What can i say... I can only thank God that He soften their hearts and make them more open to me... Every relationship takes 2 hands to clap... they are willing to clap theirs tog with me... I thank God for them...

To Ming and Becky, lets keep growing in God together! Love you gals! :)

Once again, using my hp via Leme Cam! :)

4) Lastly, i just want to say that i am indeed really happy to have found a Pri Sch fren via FB! Not convenient to post photos and say name, but lets just call her A.

A and myself were close frens during pri sch days... During PSLE, she fared better then me and was naturally posted to Express stream. I fared marginal and so were given a chance to choose between Express or Normal Acad (NA). In the end, my parents felt that its better for me to choose NA as they dun want to stress me out.

As a result, A went to a marginal Sec sch while i get to go to a good sec sch but i do NA. After a while, we lost touched. Yrs later i heard she gave birth to a baby and became an unwed mother. That was when we were both in our teens yrs... I think during then, i came to know Jesus Christ.

Soooo many yrs have passed... acty she has always been on my mind... i have always wanted to find her... but for some reasons, i just cant seem to find her... not thru friendster and i didnt try Facebook yet... Until recently someone started our Pri Sch profile page then... i found her there! I was sooo happy! we added each other and got hold of her hp num... i am sooooooo looking forward to meeting up with her to catch up on things... She is now a divorcee and taking her daughter with her... Her daughter is alrdy in Sec school! Gosh... I wonder how much she had suffered with that man during her growing up yrs... and seriously, my heart goes out to her... as always..

After i found and added her... i was thnking and looking back abt both of our lives... In comparison, God always have a plan for everyone... and there must be reasons why things happened.

A

- Got into a marginal Sec Sch to do Express stream.

- Met a bad guy and became an unwed mum at (maybe) 15.

- Might have been thru a lot of sufferings as an unwed mum and a student too.

- Ends up in divorce and have to take care of daughter.

- Chose NA for good reasons and 'accidentally' got into a good Sch.

- Went to church during teens and became Christian at 15.

- Growed up in church and trained in the ways of the Lord.

- Met my man in church, married and now with a kid.

Sometimes, really, sometimes we will never know what God has intended for each and everyone of us. All i know is that i want to reach out to her and introduce God to her, becos she has missed out on so much alrdy. I feel she deserved proper care, love and concern.. Only God can give...

So i also thnk God that i found my long lost old time fren! :)

And, yup yup... this is how i started 2012... In a pretty good way i guess.. frenships reconciled and strengthened... Lost fren found back... God i thank You... I really do...

Heeeee... before i go... just wanna post a photo of me using Instagram via ip4s... I TOLD you i love the effects!

**Chaos!**

不知为什么...

2012-01-04T16:11:00.008+08:00

In the past, i rather tell my frens or hubby abt things that are going on in my life... but now, 不知为什么, i prefer to blog it here. Even tho not many are reading, its fine.... i just want to say it here instead. :)

Today is Michela's 1st official day of school (playgrp rather) and she was so excited that the moment she woke up, she kept saying "i want go school...". I can foresee my weekday mornings to be really busy from now on... Her class starts at 9.15am and so we gotta leave house by 8.50am and this means we need to wake up at 7.30am to prepare BF for her and bath her too... Well, i used to wake up even earlier when i was working back then. hahah...

So today, she insisted on wearing her sunglasses to school lor...

Actually, no photography is allowed in school for security reasons, but i secretly took a snap of Michela in today's class. She's the last one behind with 2 pig tails tied to its side. :)

Today's class was very chaotic cos parents were allowed for 1st few days of school so, if got parents, the kids are even more daring to shout and scream, etc... plus there seems to be 2 little bullies in her class too... scream and shout and cry and push and pull and snatch toys... making the class very noisy and messy... but i guess its like this for 1st few days of school ba... I am praying that she will settle down really soon without me by her side. :)

Anw, her teacher commented tht she likes to dance and sing... cos whenever they play music, she will naturally dance to the beat on her own... hahaha... i am proud of my gal and i thank God for her. :)

A photo of teacher teaching in class. :)

And today's theme is Red colour and Apple... Michela did her 1st ever colouring... even tho a bit CMI, but i feel its ok lah... let her have the feel of colouring and drawing first ba... :)

Last nite, i received a bday card from Chanel and i am happy! I thnk this yr, i wun initiate my bday celebs ba.... enuff of me doing things le... Maybe its time to see who are really my frens that cares for me... hahahah.. jus kidding! But well, if theres a celeb, there is. If not, i guess it doesnt matter anymore ba. :)

Bday card from Chanel!
On a side note, whenever i see Chanel, i kept thnking of my GST leh... sigh.. i really like it... wen can i ever have it?? When God? When?

Anw, i amended a bit to my bday wishlist. But since not many read my blog, i guess i will still hv people coming to me to ask what i want for my bday ba... hehehe..

1) Kinokuniya vouchers
2) H & M vouchers
3) Nice looking clutch (classy and chic looking)
4) New HandPhone - iP4S - GOTTEN IT! PTL!!
5) Chanel Bag (as always!)
6) Juicy Couture earrings-http://www.revolveclothing.com/DisplayProduct.jsp?product=JUICY-WA1678&c=Juicy+Couture
7) *Secret* for now.. :)
8) Shopping trip to either TW or BKK.. I really feel like shopping!

Another 20 more days.... :)

Yesterday i was clearing and filing some of Michela's stuff and i came across this photo.. The baby is ME :) Can recognise? I always cant recog myself one... hahah.. and of cos the lady carrying me is my mother. :)

Not trying to be Emo again, but... i do miss her... always in fact. I thnk she's quite pretty when she was young. heheh..

I feel like setting a PW for my blog... prefer it to be more private. BUT.... i dunno how... hahaha... see how ba... :)

Am I spoilt??

2011-12-31T00:46:00.007+08:00

My lappy is down and hubby said it will take a few days before it can be 'up' again... So I am doing this post using iPad instead. :)

Went to msia with my in laws to visit my grandma in law and some of mk's relatives on wed and thurs. Before I left, hf whatsapp me to enjoy the trip and I told her that i am not really going there for a holiday... It's more to accompany my in laws and hubby to visit their relatives... Some of them have been wanting to see michela for ages ( i heard)..

I suppose what I said to hf is true to a certain extent. Went over... Michela played a lot with the kids there, totally enjoying herself... But amid all these, from the way things are arranged (like 'itinerary'), the way some aunties talked to me... Really made me think whether am I too spoilt to even stay a nite over at msia.

From time to time, I can see that they try to give in to me like shopping and even having meals.. One of his aunties even commented to me the difference bet SG kids and Msia kids.. Acty I do agree with her that we shouldn't over protect our kids at times... If not they might grow up to be 'weak' and unable to take care of themselves, but I also must say that I don't really feel too happy abt this trip to msia.. It makes me feel like I am too spoilt for them... I am over protecting Michela... The place is dirty to stay at, etc... Oh, even sleeping in air con room too! My FIL said loudly that Mk, michela and myself MUST sleep in air con room one. But my question is... How does he know?? He doesn't sleep with us or hasn't stayed over at our place before... How can he just say out like he understands us SO well? I feel he shouldnt say things for us just like that. Sigh...

"So, am I spoilt?" I asked MK.. He replied confidently "NO, it's just difference living standard darling.."

I gave thot to his reply and can't help but to a certain extent agree with him... Yup, it's diff living standard and yes i might not used to it, but what then do u expect me to do? Quickly and totally get used to their living std? It's like asking baby A to drink baby B's mother's milk... And if baby A cant do it, baby A is a spoilt brad.. HUH??? Doesn't make sense.

I think wats most impt is to try to adapt if possible and if not, at least have respect for other ppl's 'culture' and/ or living habit... And not sarcastically saying things that make ppl feel you don't respect them becos of these living differences.

So if you ask me whether I would want to stay over again in msia with the relatives, I would still stay over if can... Becos I want to at least try, if not respect them... But I am just Sianz tht this is probably how ppl see us.. Hm..

Anw, I am glad to be back home... :)

before I go, on a random note - I feel like going overseas for a shopping trip... Maybe HK, TW? Heheh... BKK is out for time being until its safer or in better condition to go. Holiday... Holiday... Holiday... Holiday............

I'm back.

2011-11-21T23:29:00.018+08:00

Yes, finally after 5 mths plus of not-blogging.. i decided to blog again. Just days ago, i was looking thru my posts since last year, and.... I was actually touched by my own post! Hahah.. well i guess its becos as i read them, i can recall and 'revisit' those events or things that i talked about.. Hmm.. pretty EMO ya.

I said days ago that i am thinking of closing down my FB account. Some people asked me why... hmm, i think i like to 'talk' about things rather than just posting a picture... even tho ppl say that "A picture paints a thousand words".. i feel better to write them down... Of cos all these subjected to whether i have the luxury of time or not! wahaha.. :P But, MK advises not to, so that i can still get 'connected' to the world, esp now that i am not working liaoz.. Okay okay.. i will still continue with it just so that i can know the happenings of the world! If not i may become 黄脸婆 very soon!

Anyway, we bought Michela new toys.. Some Happy Family toys... its imaginary play for tots.

Happy Family!

Front area..

Backyard area..

This morning when i set this up for her to play, she kept saying (on her own accord) that she likes her new toy.. Anyway, she will only turn 2 next month, but it seems to me that "Monster 2" is coming out of them nowadays... sighz... need to quickly go read up at http://www.babycenter.com/ on the correct way (at least to them) tp handle her.. we are at a lost now, esp when she throws tantrums just to get what she wants! Faintz...

Oh and finally MK put into action what he has been thinking about for a very long time... Getting himself a bday pressie. Last yr he got himself a Guess watch at $200++, and this yr, he was deciding between an add-on camera lens or an ipad. I didnt feel that the former will be wise esp he seldom use the DSLR nowadays.. and so, yes... he got ipad in the end.. :)

His advance bday pressie..

And before I go off, let me show you what I bought today from Cotton On (IMM)!

TA-DA!

5 Knickers @ only $10! Cheap, cheap cheap!!

Not sure if other outlets have the same promo too.. if not you can buy at IMM outlet… quick! J

GTG.. sleepy sleepy.. hangover still hanging over from weekend’s interrupted schedule..

Oh, and MK is still happily playing with this new ‘toy’.. maybe I should go ka-jiao him a bit ya.. kekek..

Nites world! :)

Coming Back....

2011-11-19T00:55:00.002+08:00

Hmm, havent been blogging for 5 months plus.. that's pretty long ya...

Ok, i am coming back soon.. back to here once again..

And, Facebook no more?

Maybe. :)

Typical day of Little Michela

2011-06-27T22:35:00.005+08:00

I have a few people asking me similar questions like "So, how's being a FT mum now?", "Is it boring?", "What do you do with Michela everyday?", etc. So i decided to write out our life as a FT mum and a 18mths old baby girl. :)

8am : Michela wakes up calling Papa or Mama... and she means" Yo, I am now awake, so you two better NOT sleep anymore and play with meeeee!" Usually we cant be bothered with her. hahah..
8.15am - 8.30am : Drink milk
8.30 - 9.15am : PLAY, PLAY & disturb Papa while he prepares to go work.
9.15 - 9.30am : Bathing time.
9.30 - 11am : PLAY or READ or TV (depends)
11am - 12pm : Mummy prepares Michela's mum mum... (ie; food)
12 - 12.45 : Lunch for Michela
12.45 - 1.30pm : TV (OKTO or Wiggles or Mickey Mouse, etc)
1.30 - 3.30pm : Nap time
3.30 - 3.45pm : Drink milk
3.45 - 5pm : PLAY or READ or TV or disturb mummy prepare mum mum.
5 - 6pm : Downstairs walk walk
6 - 7pm : Dinner for Michela
7 - 7.30pm : Mummy takes dinner... Papa usually comes home by this time.
7.30 - 7.45pm : Michela wash up and change to PJs.
7.45 - 9.30pm : PLAY and PLAY or disturb Papa and Mama. haha..
9.30pm : Falls alseep for the day.. FINALLY!

So, this is a typical day for both of us.Actually she has more milk time.. just that i didnt include in.. and also, the word 'disturb' here means she wants baobao, she wants you to be with her, play with her, and you cannot leave her sight. hmm.. this makes my preparation for meals, household chores, as well as washing of clothes harder... many of such will only be done either whn she naps or whn she sleeps for the day.

This post acts as a reference for mothers who are considering of switching to FT mum.

But, i must admit that it is really very fulfilling as a FT mum esp whn your child look into your eyes innocently and call you Mama... it just melts my heart and makes you forget those times whn she is naughty or make you mad or even step on every nerve you have! hahahah...

The BIG day...

2011-06-21T23:19:00.017+08:00

of Quentin & Linda of course! And like i mentioned earlier that i will try to post nice pictures for that day...

Since both MK and myself were helping out, we had to both reache the bride's place at 7-ish. And when i arrived, Linda was almost done with her make up and hair. She just looked gorgeous!

Then i (together with some of the Jie Meis) proceed on to preparing the 'Cai Liao' to sa-bo the brothers... Lemon with wasabi was a killer i guess. :) (didnt managed to take any picture for this becos... no hands leh.. heee).

Finally the brothers came.. initially i thot they wouldnt be cooperative to do all the stunts we instruct them to do... (and tht's why i had to 'beg' MK to be more cooperative days before! heheh..). Anw, in the end, to our surprise, they guai guai did all that we asked them to do! wow.... good job the brothers!

So the groom got the bride after paying us $288,000...... and,

here's the pretty bride in her Vera Wang's gown... The front..

... and the back. Love the black ribbon. It just adds the sophisticated feel to the whole gown.

Owing to the tight timeline of the wedding, we rushed down to the matrimony place at Sentosa, The Amara Sanctuary. The wedding was held at the Glass Pavilion that looks like this... Moments before the wedding starts..

Of course, without a doubt, Quen married Linda successfully! Sealing their love with a passionate kiss!! Muuuuaccckkkkss!

And then we move on to the wedding lunch that was to be commenced like 1 hour later..

The menu for the day.

Pls take note of the 3rd dish.. Baked Cod Fish in Bonito Sauce.. THIS IS YUMMY!!!!! No joke, really, really very nice!!

This is how it looks like.. OK i must admit that it doenst look very appealing... but do not be deceived by its outwards appearance!

The Cod Fish! YUMMY!! YUMMY!!!

I didnt want to take picture of the food as i thot it should more of less the same...but this Cod Fish really blew my mind off man.. really gotta mention it!

And the best part was when we (my table) were eating this dish, the live band played some music (not sure the name of the song tho) and it just blended so well.. felt so so heavenly.................

How i wish got buffet for this dish! hahaha..

Ok, i thnk this is random but..this is WE.. both tired.

We went off aftr helping to pack the place for the couple... we were both tired by then...

Took a cab home. (of cos!)

See what i mean.. my legs were tired and aching.. gotta take them off in the cab! haha..

And MK?

K-O!P

Anyway, we just wanna say a big CONGRATS to the couple! Have a blissful marriage!

Preparing for the BIG day...

2011-06-15T22:26:00.005+08:00

well, not mine of cos. :)

Its for my hubby's buddy's wedding! This Saturday.

He is one of the brothers while i am helping out as one of the Jie Meis. Dusky Rose was the colour that the ladies are to wear on that day and thankfully, i managed to get the dress as close to the colour as possible! Yay and phew... :P

Anw, a nail voucher from Iputa at Far East Plaza was given to me as birthday pressie early this year. I had wanted to use it for CNY this year but it was fully booked back then. So finally, i have an excuse to use it this time round (before it expires!).

And here is my 2nd soft gel manicure:

Love the pink glitter! Hope it last... doing a lot of household chores nowadays.. :I

And i thot that since i doing mani, might as well pamper myself to do classic pedi too. Love this red too!!

I found out that the boss of Iputa is a Korean. She married a Singaporean many years ago and started this nail salon. The service is quite good but more imptly, the skills of those manicurists are good too! At least better than my 1st soft gel manicure during CNY period. Its quite a lot of difference! If you want, you are highly encouraged to call for appt slot cos their biz are really quite good. Its at Far East Plaza, #05-07, 6735 7073.

As for the dress, i didnt manage to take a nice picture of it yet.. i hope i can upload more pictures after the wedding yah. :P

Oh, and before i go off, i just want to say that this cheesecake from TCC (Suntec outlet) is really yummy! Try it!

I think i am blessed...

From peeps...

From him...

Thank you guys!

Finally... Thank God..

2011-01-09T22:11:00.004+08:00

Yup, finally we see some little signs of breakthrus. I believe all the trustings in God and faithful givings will not come to in vain.

He is surely doing something in the Wong family!

Thank You God. =)

STUCK.

2010-12-26T23:44:00.003+08:00

Is there anyone that I can talk to? Have been feeling down recently. Many things happened and I feel that I dont have the free luxury to rest and really relax. From Michela's incident to work stress....

Even when i talk to him about it.. Becos of the many many restrictions and financial obligations caused by me many years ago, I can't go as and when i want.

BUT, i feel really stuck. Last Fri, Big Boss talked about being miserable at work. This word strucked me hard. Miserable? Yes, miserable is THE word to use. I go to work everyday, feeling miserable. At times trying to find excuses or reasons for myself that i shld just just quit... "I cant click with the boss." "I feel lousy working for her." "Oh, she is often so rude." "Different style of working." "Maybe she 'blacklist' me alrdy." ETC...................

But i cant go as and when i want... What would others say? How will Vic and Pst see me? What abt my MIL? My brother?

OR, maybe i shld just ignore how others see me and do what i want?

If i cont working, its not a prb to fulfil our financial obligations, but what shld i do?? Chances are i will not be able to get the same pay (at least) as what i am getting now... Or maybe i 'tong' for another 6 mths (to make it a yr) before i decide to stay or go? BUT, i am worried that i cant survive these 6 mths!

Cc said i am negative... Am i? Maybe i am...

But many times i really dunno what she wants. And becos of her pressing and D personality, i got intimidated and stressed up. I realised that if there is no stress on me, i tend to think better and as a result, perform.

However the situation now is different.. She is putting a lot of stress on me! Her tone, her way of working, her demands, her pace, her 'gan jiong-ness'... sigh...She made me feel really really LOUSY.

I feel really stuck.

God, we often say that we wanna shine for you in the marketplace... but i feel sooooooo lousy about myself. I finally know that my capability level is so LOW. God, pls, HELP me. Turn things ard to be in favour of me, i pray. Intervene and give me lotsa strength to go thru this meanwhile, In Jesus' name i pray.. Amen.

So, is there anyone that i can talk to?

World's Strongest Dad!

2010-09-10T22:32:00.003+08:00

Teared each time i watched this...

The love of a father...WOW....

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JLUPiAs20i4

Enjoy!

I didnt realise that...

2010-07-25T20:38:00.003+08:00

- i have been doing things that i didnt think i would do in the past.

- even when i go shopping nowadays, i would very often buy things for Michela more than myself.

- i would talk more on baby stuffs, baby development, etc than fashion and make up.

- even when frens still call me "Hot Mama", i am still a little auntie on the inside. Maybe outside is just a cover up!

- i would make sure Michela is fully covered up from head to toe so that she wont catch a cold in the middle of the nite, as well as nicely tug in her cot bed, before i end up in mine.

- i would miss Michela more than my LV and Chanel.

- i would tear whenever i see a breakthru in Michela's development (be it motor, visual, verbal, etc).

- even when there is only a minor scratch on Michela's hands or legs, my heart would feel the pain.

- i am stronger physically now. (all thanks to her wanting us to always carry her! haha...)

- i dont mind clearing her poo or letting her pee on my hands while cleaning her up, or even have her saliva all over my hands and clothes.

- i would want to rush home after work to spend time with Michela before she sleeps for the day.

- i actually had thoughts of giving up my dreams for my family, but not likely.

So,

I didnt realise that these are what a mother's love would be.

God, i thank You for giving me Baby Michela. She is truly beautifully created in Your image.

Sad-ded.

2010-07-21T21:54:00.001+08:00

(My last post was..... early June. More than a mth since that update.)

Tdy was supposedly to be a pretty busy day for me at work. Just started a new job and am doing Learning & Development in ST Electronics. So far so good.

Thn came lunch, and some topics were brought up for lunctime discussion and also, "criticism".

The question came after i said grace.

"Which church are you from?"

Somehow, i have a feeling that comments are going to fly ard at the makan table after my answer.

"City Harvest"

True enuff, they just shoot. And they didnt really mentioned abt the recent happenings(news), but more of their feelings and experiences.

There and then i really had a taste of 一只竹打翻整艘船. As much as i can understand their feelings and where they come from, but i honestly feel that those comments made were unfair and obviously bias.

Of cos i defended, explain and tried to clarify those misunderstandingssss, but i also kinda stop towards the later part of the conversation. I rather prove and show to them slowly, than keep trying to defend, and defend and even argue. What's the point then? What will i be trying to prove?? It will just make things worst.

But not defending to every point, doesnt mean that i am scared. I am NOT. I just wanna be wise. Just like "Meekness is not weakness."

And so, i decided to just practise empathy listening.

Of cos we didnt end up turning tables and exchange blows. *phew* :)

But i am just sadded by the fact that human beings can just come to a conclusion this immaturely.

Just like how we 'bad-mouth' abt this restaurant and that service provider, etc after we had a bad encounter with them. Its the same...

Someone said this before "Do not trust all newspapers. They only present very minimal % of truth and facts inside. BUT City News is different ah!" We just laughed! But i think this is true! City News gives whats TRUE, but not the rest of the newspapers.

What you read may NOT be the truth, people.

Wise up.

Baby BOY?

2010-06-03T14:46:00.002+08:00

I brought Michela down to buy some drinks and something interesting happen:

Auntie : You finally bring your baby boy down le. Never get to see him until now. So cute...

Me : Thanks! Err, by the way, its a girl. :)

Auntie : Oh isit? But look like boy...

Me : Isit? But its a girl...

Auntie : hahaha, ok... but this angle look like boy.

Me : Its a GIRL. :I

........................................................

Look like BOY meh? But she's a girl!

" Yea, auntie, I am a GIRL leh!"

hahaha...

Asia Conference 2010

2010-06-03T13:57:00.004+08:00

2010 is the 2nd Asia Conference (AC) that CHC organises. From glory to glory, so of cos this years' was full of good visual and audio effects, but more importantly, SPIRITUAL atmosphere!

Unfortunately, i was down with gastric flu by noon of 1st day... what a spoilsport..... :( was having fever on Wed and Thurs. Slept thruout for these 2 days acty...

However i am happy that i finally can make it on Friday evening session! Yippie!

After zzz for 2 full days, i am finally well-enuff to hit Expo for the 3rd night! :)

3rd night was a YOUTH night! Pst Kong talked abt how the youth Christians are decreasing and that many of the great man of God started their ministry in their youths! Even though i am no longer a youth... (sadz man...) i could feel that excitement in the atmosphere that night! I almost wanted to just become a youth again! hahaha...

Q-ing up in Hall 10 so that we can get into Hall 8.. Nothing to do, so took a snap.

There we were, IN Hall 8! MK was happy...

Sunday was the next highlight too, the last shall be the first and good things are reserved for the last, so Sunday was the last day of the AC. There were A LOT of ppl man... cos not only our church with AC, we also have another church next to us who is also a mega church, plus there were couple of exhibitions and the Expo food fair too! SO, can you imagine ?!

The night finale session was 530pm and we started to Q at 230pm in Hall 7 and already, 3/4 of the hall was filled at 230pm! WAH...

Us in Hall 7, Q-ing... very bored acty.... haha..

So, finally at 520pm, we managed to get into the main Hall. By that time, the hall was 95% fulled. MK and my heart just sank... Still, we walk rounds and rounds to LOOK for seats.

Finally, after near 10mins of walking rounds, i just approached an usher and said i need 2 seats. Lo & behold, she acty said "This way pls.."

We followed her all the way up to the terrace area and REALLY, there were some seats!!! PTL!! Though it was under the aircon, but we were contend to be able to have decent seats in HALL 8!

The last night was phenomenal! Dr AR Bernard preached abt Self Concept and self esteem and how these tie in with the Cultural Mandate that we have always been talking abt.

And so, AC 2010 ended with a big bang... good lightings, great sound, good visual effects, tangible presence of God & great word definitely!.... But i wonder how many of us will carry these Word and have a breakthru in our respective life...

Afterall, its no use to only go thru that hype for its only a one-time event, but whats for life is that encounter with Abba Father. :)

Us with our teary eyes, taking a picture after the whole AC ended... We were both impacted and very touched by God... *Grateful*...

After AC ended, we went to Bukit Timah to have dinner, oh or maybe its supper! And what else? Chicken rice lor... sooo unhealthy, but i like! hahaha!

So for now, i say BYE AC 2010 and See you soon in AC 2012!

Couldn't believe it!

2010-05-16T21:46:00.005+08:00

After almost 5 months from delivery til now, i couldnt believe that i could fit just nice into this dress!

Was window shopping one of the Tuesdays and saw this dress that i like. The first thing that came to my mind after i took it out from the rack was "Wah, only 1 size, i confirm cant fit in one lah". But nonetheless, i still give it a try. In the end, i could fit in wor! Really cant believe it!

Ppl ask me what did i do to slim down. Actually, nothing much, other than cutting down carbo significantly during my confinement period as well as the month after that. I did walk 20 storeys of stairs for a start shortly after i resume work, but slowly died down as I was OT-ing most of the days...

Really thank God that i am now even lighter than my pre-pregnancy wgt! (err, acty i put on quite a lot just before pregnancy la.. )

I arent any model so its definitely not as nice as how these 2 pic look, but i am happy that i look presentable. Thank God, really!

Almost 1 month!

2010-05-01T19:59:00.002+08:00

Gosh, its almost a mth since my last entry here.

Have been really busy at work recently. Unhappy, stressed, anxious, tired, etc.

Not trying to be negative, esp that i have God, but these, unfortunately, are my exact feelings for the past 1 mth. Going into office feeling so stressed, and easily anxious abt work. Even during my Bintan trip and normal weekends, i keep thinking abt work and how never-ending they are.

In the end, i decided to resign. Handed THE letter to my manager on Wednesday. He kinda expected it. Well, afterall i broke down a number of times in my cubicle as well as once in front of him. :I He defended a little and explained that he really did tried his best to bring in the additional headcount, but its beyond his control. After hearing that, i know in my heart that there is nothing more he can do. This position will continue to be THIS heavy.

Just watched Iron Man 2 on thursday and what Virginia Pebble said right after Tony saved her is exactly what I have been feeling all these while, "My body literally cannot take the stress anymore, I quit, I resign!"

My hair was dropping more than usual, having gastric attacks due to stress (i guess) during office hours are not uncommon. Working for more than 10hours with only less than 20mins of lunch was also nothing new in this dept.

Yup...

But, i dont want such lifestyle. I want a work life balance lifestyle. Afterall balance is the key to LIFE.

Hopefully after this, i will be able to find a new job that has work life balance. Not only pays well, but bring satisfaction.

So, my next post......?

Soon! :)

First Love (to God)

2010-04-02T20:24:00.000+08:00

My Highest Call, My greatest cause
Is loving You
Your perfect love, has won my heart
Now I am Yours.

Your sacrifice, demands my life
And I will live to honor
Your holy name, the price You paid

So I sing

You're my first love, You're my true love
You're my reason, You are why I breathe
I will give You my devotion
All of me, all of me

You chose the cross, You chose me
Surrender Your life, You chose me
Though I did not deserve, You chose me

So I choose to love, just as You chose me
I put you first, as You first loved me
Ill treasure Your grace as you died for me

Thank You Jesus, for choosing the cross, now its our turn.

Our 1095 days...

2010-03-26T20:36:00.004+08:00

My last post was a pretty negative one...enuff of such atmosphere for it can be contagious! haha..
Well, hubby and i celebrated our 1095th day together as hubby & wifey 2 days ago...

Went to a Seafood Restaurant at EC for THE occasion. They have lunch buffet everyday. Mon - Fri is less then 30bucks per person. Think its EX?? Lemme tell you what they have.

Sharks Fins (there is real and quite a size fins inside this bowl below wor..) - limited to 1 serving per person.

Next up, we have abalone (1 small one for each person, also limited to 1 serving per person.)

And of cos not forgetting cray fish, many kinds of fish (oh, their fish is 1 WHOLE fish, even tho its for only 2 pax!), scallops, soft shells, mussels, prawns & many more! i think pretty 'hua-suan' la. :)

Anw, that was on the actual day... it was good, but what really touched me was the 1094th day.

I was working (as usual) and some of you know that i just got transferred to a new dept so there are loads of work to do... As i was feeling a little stress up, he pin me and ask if i would like to have sth to brighten up my day... Of cos i said yes...

He replied, telling me to go to my hp, under video section and play a video with the num "1234" behind the file. I thought he had secretly recorded my sleeping pose or even my snoring sound! But when i open up the file and pressed played..................................................(you can see the video clip at the end of this post. :) )

As i watched the video in my workstation, i just teared and teared and teared... he got me this time round... he did a video of the both of us together since courting days! Apparently, he waited until i slept, before he started to make this video clip... he did it until 2 am... i was SO touched!

Just when i thought thats all, within 2hrs, another surprise came!

I received a call from my receptionist to go down becos there was a bouquet of flowers for me..

I went down and the delivery uncle was there with this bouquet of flowers, wrapped in purplish-pink wrapper!

I was soooooo in shock!

My flowers... i soooooo love it! :)

On our first yr of marriage, he accidentally 'threw away' his wedding band, and for almost 3 yrs, we didnt wear any... so this yr, i decided to get a pair of wedding bands for ourselves again. (he better not lose it again!) :)

To dear : I just want to say that you have earned yourself so much thruout our 7 yrs of journey together. You have earned my respect, my admiration, my love. From only 30 marks, to 70 and now, 80 marks.. Even as we crossed our 3rd yr as hubby & wifey, there will definitely be soooo much more for both of us to learned and explore abt each other, and i am ready for that! Thank you so much for making the effort and i am really VERY VERY touched! Many more yrs ahead!

It is "in sickness and in health, for richer or poorer, in good times or bad times..."

This, it will always be.

I LOVE YOU.....

The video he did for me... :)

What's happening?!

2010-03-13T16:37:00.002+08:00

Feel emotionally draining and tired recently. And the last time i felt this way was more than 10 yrs ago, when he decides to leave me and i was almost left with nothing. Never did i expect that the person who left me drained emotionally isnt someone that is close to me. Even if i hold her close to my heart, she will not appreciate it bah.

One moment chatting away on msn, the other moment ignoring me and giving me black face. Always thought that we are in the same 'league', but now seems i am out of it... Even until now, i have absolutely NO idea why she is angry / unhappy. No idea. I just dunno why... i dunno what is happening?!

The end result of whats happening isnt what she want, NEITHER do i. She seems to be the 'victim', so am i.

Do i look like i am very easily bullied? So much so that anyone can just be angry with me?? _ _ _ _ _ _'s case was just over, and not even one week, _ _ _ _ _ _ is upset with me.... Stimes i do think that if i were to go, it will be better!

She doesnt tell me why she is angry or unhappy.... was it for THAT reason, thats why you were not happy?? If so, lets discuss! If you dont talk, hw would ppl know?? You dont wanna talk abt it? Then its VERY unfair to me! We are all victims of such circumstances and NOBODY wants it this way.... Listen, ME TOO! I nvr wanted it to be this way dear...never...

If you block me frm FB wall, thn might as well block me totally. Since the hurt is alrdy there, even if more is added, it dont make any difference.

True, like what we both agreed, its just a _ _ _ and why let _ _ _ _ win? its NOT worth it at all gal... and to think that i even cried for you...

Forget it. Anw, i am 'leaving' and you wont see me that often, maybe this 'ending' is what you want.

I always thought we were the closest, but since you dont trust me, since you dont appreciate me as a fren, then just forget it.

Well, its just a _ _ _ anyway.

现在我很幸褔

2010-03-09T17:16:00.002+08:00

For YOU....
Abt him....

他的手掌有种粗糙的体贴
他在我需要时候出现身边
被你伤的那些崩溃眼泪
多亏他无私的奉陪

哪天要是和你真的再见面
谁都不要再提醒那一段从前
有些事不面对反而安心安全
你无权再动摇我的世界

现在我有了幸福有人照顾应该知足
你不像他从不让我哭
可是我越想投入越是生疏抱的再紧
依旧止不住那流失的温度

现在我不停忙碌不断让步想看清楚
你不像他把我当成全部
可是爱有时善良有时残酷我要如何
爱他像爱你那样义无反顾

To lead our own lives....

Randoms again....

2010-03-01T22:59:00.006+08:00

Sometimes, i struggle to be kind to people, esp those that arent easily loved by others.
Sometimes, i struggle with the thought of 好心没好报.
Many times, when we are good and kind to people, they dont appreciate... its an unreciprocated kindess.
But if you have the love of Jesus, even if the world crucify Him, He still love them. I want to have this kind of love. BIG love.
So, i decided to be good to people, even if its not recognised, even if its unreciprocated (again).

Realised that i have aged.
Recently someone said this to me "You dont even look like 30 lor."
Well, i dont refer to physical, i mean in terms of character and thinking. Maturity doesnt come with age, but with the ability to hold responsibility.
I want to be such person.
Irresponsibility = Immature being.

Many times, it should be personal choice (decision) over time, but we like to choose time over choice.
I choose to be with a friend when he/she needs a friend.
I choose to see to Michela's need almost immediate (if possible) whenever she has a need.
I choose to stay with MK in good times and bad times, in sickness and in health, for richer or poorer....
Very often, we can make time, but we choose not to, so the reason we give "Sorry, no time."
If you are desperate, even a minute is precious!

Our leaders, our mentors..
None of us is perfect. When our leaders done sth wrong, we dont correct them, we dont shame them, but pray for them...
Honouring our leaders... always making sure that they look good, always say good things abt them... spend time with them, bless them for they have put in so much time and energy to serve God and for us.
Love them and be loyal to them.
Oh, and listen to their advice for they have walked THAT road before.

So, i 'random' again...
......................................................................................................

Anw, i am just gonna give more to God this yr. Not just saying "i wanna give more", but literally giving MORE.

Tithes open gate of heaven, but offering determines the quality of your blessing.
"Unqual amt, equal sacrifice." I am sooooo gonna give to Him more this yr.
Last A & B i sowed $_____, God gave me a baby,
This coming A & B, I'm gonna sow $_____, (God, pls complete the remaining.)

"Pst Kong, wherever the piece of land is gonna be, we are just gonna follow you all the way."
I believe this place is from God.

Tiger Tiger Year.......Wuahaa!! :)

Does anyone READ your blog?

2010-02-04T15:32:00.002+08:00

If you have a blog, ask yourself this "Does anyone read my blog?"

A friend told me before that blogs were originally created so that we can write what we like, what we want, in fact, anything we like there. But it has since become sth that doesnt ONLY belong to the owner... It is sth that is OPEN for everyone and anyone to read. True that you can set your blog to private settings where only your frens have the password to read them, still there are many who dont care a bit and 'allow' any dog and cat to read & comment. :)

Now, blogs have become a channel in which ppl not only 'let off steam', but express their every emotion, feeling and thinking. In a way its good, becos in the society that we are living in, we just cant 'lock' everything up and not let them out...i always believe in open communication.

Who knows, with the very advanced technology, we might have some kind of system or software to communicate in future!

When 30 is only just the beginning.....

2010-01-26T13:20:00.013+08:00

Most ladies would 'mute' their age after they hit 30, except me. 30, 30 lor. :)

I finally attended church after a long 1-mth break last Sunday which also was my birthday! What a nice 30th bday pressie for me. :) Many came up to wish me Happy Birthday and out of which, some came as a surprise for me becos i didnt think that they will remember and they did! Some gave hugs too. Thanks guys... Love ya!

I thnk 30 is just the beginning for me, really.

Becos i am 30, i decide to face my imperfection. For those of you that alrdy knew abt it, you will be seeing me wear dresses more often. Will be wearing shorts soon too... all these without leggings! :)

Becos i am 30, i had wanted to get myself a tattoo. Wanted a dove to remind myself that HS is always guiding me and also that i need to be like a dove, having meekness in my life. BUT, in the end, i chicken out the moment i heard the 'zzzzzz' sound outisde the shop! Quite sad, cos i really tot abt it for very very long before i decide to do it. And i took a long time to have the courage to even walk to the shop wor... then in the end, i still chicken out. sighz... but well, at least i tried. :)

Becos i am 30, i want to aim to be a better wife, a better mother, a better, daughter (in-law), a better employee, a better cg leader, a better friend, a better child to God................ a better person.

Becos i am 30, and being in r/s with Him for almost 15 yrs, not only draw me closer with Him, but more in love with Abba Father. Not taking Him for granted definitely, but loving and worshipping Him the way He wants me to. Pleasing Him, not man. God i love You....

So, 30 is just the beginning... many more things to learn, many more rms for improvements and change. many more.... just many more.

Btw, some pics to show for my bday celeb this yr...

My pressies, which are almost all vouchers! Shopping! Weee!

Our gang... love ' em!

Thanks to YP, HF, Mingli, JR, JK, Cheryl, Sheryl, XH, Jeanie, MX, MS, Jianting, some of the N119-ers (this gp surrpised me the most! I didnt thnk they will remember, but they did! Thanks!!) and my beloved W232s (muacks!!!).......

Becos of you guys, I had a Happy Birthday!

On Friday, Mk took me for bday dinner at TGIF @ Heeren. Nice place and service also quite good wor... The staffs and mgr came a few times to ask if the food and everything was fine... not bad.. :)

Part of the deco...

MK & his spareribs. ops...

Me & my chicky & hei bee... hahah.

Aftr dinner, we got one of the staffs there to help us take a pic, so he took the camera and said, "OK, 1, 2, 3 and say Friday!"... So i went 'Friday.'..... Felt so SILLY that i am the only one saying... Thank God its Friday! :P

Thanks Dear for making the effort, taking the time and sparing that energy to not only dine with me at TGIF, but offered to go shopping with me too! I know you were SUPER tired that day but yet you spared that little energy left to shop with me... I love ya!!! Muacks!!

Should I or should I not?

2010-01-15T11:32:00.004+08:00

I dont want to know how much it cost...
I dont want to know if the end result will be gd...
I only want to know if the pain is BEARABLE...

Randoms...

2010-01-05T14:12:00.002+08:00

Something random, nothing serious...

1) Where you put your energy on, is what is impt to you.

2) I really do not like to hear the word "No", but guess i gotta learn to accept that sometimes 'No' is better than 'Yes'.

3) Different period, different friends.

4) Friendships are form not just becos of common interest or topic, but it is also effort and time put in to maintain that friendship.

5) Sincerity can easily be felt.

6) Quite often, i am being misunderstood. Pls do not assume that i am like THIS. For all you know, i might be like THAT.

7) No God, no purpose of living. I cant live without God.

8) Sometimes, you love someone so much that no matter how bad that person is, you still love him/her for who they are. God's unconditional love.

9) Really, we often think that the grass is always greener on the other side. Learn to count your blessings.

10) After that show, i learnt one thing : Be brave and face your imperfection(s).

11) After a while, you realised that you are not one of that priorities.

12) Very often, there are more to what we see or think we know. Do not assume.

13) Ask yourself : What is my value in the eyes of my family, friends, colleagues, school mates, etc.

14) Have you been a blessing to someone today?

15) What are you living on this earth for?

16) Do not take the people around you for granted.

A Gift for Hubby!

A Xmas Pressie

2009-12-15T15:33:00.002+08:00

From hubby!

Wanted to get myself a new HP in Jan... as a bday pressie for myself and a small reward for the things i have done in 2009... After all, my previous Nokia 6500 Slide had been with me for almost 2 yrs.. not very long, but long enuff for me to have reason to get a new HP. *GRIN*

Well, nowadays ppl change HP like they change clothes! My one 6500 Slide = Their 2- 3 iPhone, BB, HTC, and whatever new designs the market has! Gosh...

Anw, close frens would know that i wanted BB curve 8900 for the longest time (since Jan 09), but... due to unforeseen circumstances, didnt managed to get it... However i still thank God that i am able to get Curve 8520... Struggled for quite some time b4 decidng on this one... (Rem that i was choosing bet BB Curve 8900 and Nokia E72?) Oh and i saw E72 yesterday... wow look really nice wor.... felt so tempted to get that... but in the end still chose BB.

Now i cant introudce my newborn as she is still not out yet... but i can at least introduce to you my new hp! haha...

Introducing Blackberry Curve 8520... Ta-da! :)

Ok... i know the design is very the yi-ban (yes it IS), but trust me... very soon you will see the revamp design of it! Me going to buy crystal to zeng me phone.. keke.. ppl zeng their car but i zeng my hp! hahah...

Acty, i also almost wanted to get iPHONE 3GS... but in order to join the BB League (long term can save cost too! keke), i decided to get BB lor... but i have no regrets acty... Read from forum on the review of this phone and i think it suits me perfectly! It says this phone is suitable for those who are new to BB hps and on budget (oh yes, its cfm me! haha), cos the function is not too complicated... pretty basic which is so me lor.. hee... so i cfm that this must be a 'revelation from God!' lolz...

Will try to quickly zeng up my hp and post pic here (if baby gal haven come out yet)! :)

Also, thank you dear for my early xmas pressie.... yours is coming soon... the day she comes out is the day i present your xmas('09), bday('09), anni('10) and vday('10) pressie to you! hahah...

I woke up thinking abt her....

2009-12-08T17:02:00.002+08:00

Once again, another post dedicated to her. The last one was last year i think.
Yesterday went to visit Angeline and her baby gal and her mum was there too. Auntie specially fly down from China to take care of her and Fayth. She was very concern abt Angeline. Was always busy making sure her daugther has enuff rest, eat and drink well, is comfy and not in pain.

When i saw that, i was very touched by her mum's every action. A little envy i must say... haha. Becos this will only come from the mother herself and no one else... not even the mother in law or at times, the hubby. Ops. haha..

Actually, in the beginning of my pregnancy, i yearn for such care and concern and guidance but, i know that i will never get. That no matter how caring and concern others are to me, it will never be the same as your own mother's love. In fact, in the beginning, i was very lost, i didnt know what to eat, what not to take, wat to avoid, etc... None to guide, not even my father.

During that time, i missed her terrribly. Altho heard that PIL kept asking if i was doing fine then, but it was still very different.

Throut the preggy journey, i will miss her here and there... hoping that she can be here to guide me and care abt me... some times, i cant sleep, cos i was thinking abt her... some time i will wake up, and think of those times where she buy bf for me, nag at me, wash clothes for me, etc...

Even if i share this with ppl, they will only listen and not really understand how i feel, not even MK, let alone frens.

During my ML, many times i wanted to go down to her tablet in Bedok Temple and let know her that i am going to deliver soon and that if she is still alive,she will become a grandmother soon too.... but i do not believe in talking to the dead. I can only hold her deep down in my heart and memories. Sometimes i really wanna tell her many many things, but i know i cant do it.

I wanna tell her all the good and bad things that i was going thru as a preggy woman. The morning sickness, the cramps, the pains here and there, and many many more... Cos i know she will understand. i know tt she will guide me and advice me to do this and not to do that if she is still alive.

I know that there is always a reason for things to happen to ppl. There is surely a reason why she left us that early. If she is still here, she will be 60 next yr..Wow...

Even as i am going to deliver anytime, i will very often think of her and how i wish that she can be there with me, to experience the joy of becoming a grandmother.

I felt this way too on my wedding day.

So... i woke up today, thinking of her, and i miss her.

Wo hen xiang nian ni leh mummy...

"It is FINISHED!"

2009-12-03T16:03:00.002+08:00

Yes, it is finished!

One of the goals for 2009 is.... not to get pregnant, oh, but somehow, she just came along the way... haha... she is such a gift from God, really. :)

Anw, was saying that one of my goals in 2009 is to complete a professional make up course, and reason is simple... i love make up (ppl who know me a little more will AGREE to that!) and i would like to transfer my love into a service for people. I always wonder in amazement of how a simple looking girl can be transformed into someone that make heads turn!

In modern days like this, there is no one ugly girl ard, all thanks to the wonders of Make Up! It really work wonders... :) So, here i am, finished the entire course b4 i go deliver, yay! I am excited for my first assignment, keke...

And, i would like to especially thank 1 person. If not for this person, i would have already quited the course halfway LONG TIME AGO... So, thank you MINGKUN, my hubby who has always been standing by me all these while...

Many people dont that it wasn't easy for someone pregnant to keep attending classes, esp when i was fell quite sick twice, and had to keep changing class time and days. It wasnt easy for me financially too. Many times i wanted to quit mainly due to finances, but even as i was abt to do that, he encouraged me again and again. He provided encouragments, lotsa love and even finances when the going gets financially tough! Many ppl dont really know, but MK is the ONE that really see me thru the entire course. I thank God for him. Love him lots!

Ps: If you or your frens need make up artist, look for me ya! hahah!

HEARTBURN!

2009-12-02T13:41:00.007+08:00

Ok, maybe i should have blog abt the above titled at 4am last nite, so as to show the seriousness of it... Now at 38 wks and 5 days of gestation, i have been going thru many different 'sufferings' that a typical preggy woman at her very last 2 wks would face.

Besides the clumsy movements, pain at pelvic area (increasingly sore feeling), sudden BIG appetite (that even i myself am amazed!), increase in wgt (hopefully all go to baby! :P), hot flashes, frequent sweating and feeling sticky all day long (even sit there also feel HOT :( ), there is this thingy call the HEARTBURN & I dont like it AT ALL. :I

Meaning of Heartburn (during pregnancy): - from Babycenter.com

"Heartburn (also called acid indigestion or acid reflux) is a burning sensation that often extends from the bottom of the breastbone to the lower throat. It's caused by some of the hormonal and physical changes in your body.

During pregnancy, the placenta produces the hormone progesterone, which relaxes the smooth muscles of the uterus. This hormone also relaxes the valve that separates the esophagus from the stomach, allowing gastric acids to seep back up, which causes that unpleasant burning sensation.

Progesterone also slows down the wavelike contractions of your esophagus and intestines, making digestion sluggish. Later in pregnancy, your growing baby crowds your abdominal cavity, pushing the stomach acids back up into the esophagus.

Many women start experiencing heartburn and other gastrointestinal discomforts in the second half of pregnancy. Unfortunately, it usually comes and goes UNTIL YOUR BABY IS BORN."

Gosh, it says until my baby is BORN...

Acty, i have not been sleeping well for the past few days and its mainly due to this. Maybe its also becos i do nothing much during daytime and thus during the nite time, i am not tired enuff to remain asleep whenever heartburn attack. I mean if you are dead tired, dont mentioned heartburn, i think even fire also wont wake you up! haha...

Last Nite:
Abt 12am - 1.45am : Managed to fall asleep

1.45am - 2.50am : Woke up cos of hot flashes. I was sweating under my thick blanket and with air con on at 19 deg and 3 out of 4 bar. Rightfully, its suppose to be COLD one, but i woke up cos i was sweating... Couldnt sleep after that becos of heartburn.

2.50am - 4.45am : So i decided to surf the net. Can you imagine surfing net at such wee hours? The whole SG is like zzzz and there i was, surfing the internet. duh... I goggles "heartburn" and read thru some remedies of it.

4.45am - (i think) near 6am : Decide to go back sleep at 4.45am, thinking that "hey this time i am tired liaoz, surely i can sleep.." I also tot that by this time, my heartburn problem should more of less go off liaoz... keke... Happily go zzzz...
BUT i toss and turn from 4.45 - near 6am (i think shld be 6am, cos i could see there was a little light from outside (Breaking dawn) and heard birds chirping (gosh, even birds also woke up liaoz and i am still not alseep??)...

6am - 11.20am : Finally, i fell asleep (but woke up at every hour...8am, 9am, 10plus am) zzzzz.....

So can you imagine?? I had Heartburn from like 11plus pm til near 6am! Mr Heartburn really beri hardworking ah, work from 11pm - 6am! Like night shift factory production worker!! *faint*

Now i am quite worried that its bedtime, just in case Mr Heartburn come and look for me! hahah...

Anw, some ways to decrease Heartburns: (by Babycenter.com)

• Avoid food and beverages that trigger your heartburn. The usual suspects are carbonated drinks; alcohol (which you should avoid anyway during pregnancy); caffeine; chocolate; acidic foods like citrus fruits and juices, tomatoes, mustard, and vinegar; mint products; processed meats; and spicy, highly seasoned, fried, or fatty foods.

• Eat small, frequent meals and chew your food slowly and thoroughly. Give yourself two or three hours to digest before going to bed or lying down.

• Sleep with extra pillows under your chest and head. Elevating your upper body will help keep your stomach acids where they belong. You could also try sleeping semi-upright in a comfy recliner.

• Choose clothing and sleepwear that are loose around your abdomen and waist.

And i dont know why, but it seems to strike more at night! Esp when i am preparing to sleep...

I hope i can sleep well from tonite onwards. *CONFESS!* Amen... :)

If I had knew....

2009-11-21T13:16:00.005+08:00

.... that there will be a LARGE amt of things to get and prepare for a baby's arrival, I wouldnt have got pregnant!

初次见面

2009-10-30T20:43:00.003+08:00

30th Oct (Friday) : 初次见面

I thought we will only see her on her birthday, but thank God for technology, we managed to catch a glimpse of her today.

One of those things that i have been praying to God abt is that she will be pleasant-looking and presentable and i think God is good. 初次见面 and i think she look quite cute (to me la).

After the check up, i asked MK "Who do you think she look like more?"
MK said with a smile : " You."

Well, i do pray that she will have my looks but his inner character (good ones of cos!) and intelligence.

So, 初次见面, I can only say "Hi my baby girl, God loves you and as your parents, we will give you the best, like how Abba Father has given us. All will be well with your soul. "

:)

So who says preggy woman look unglam? With a little make up and effort to dress better, you can make eyes turn too!

2009-09-23T18:01:00.003+08:00

Some of my frens asked me what are the things that I need for the baby. Seriously speaking, i have never really thought abt it, until she told me to come up with a Wish List so that they know what to get. But hor, the things that i really need, are really very expensive.

A Year of changes and TransistionS

2009-09-23T17:13:00.002+08:00

Yes, truly indeed it is... Be it in area of my job, ministry or even my own life, many many things have been happening in 2009.

Job
First half of the year was fine.. comfy with what i have been doing and in fact enjoying my workscope, until.... ex mgr decided to leave the org, then changes start. We always say that changes are good for us and where ever you go, there will always be changes.. They are the only constant thing in life. So she left and new one took over. Most of us are trying to cope and adapt to the new leading style.

More cubicles mean more ppl in the same office... so i guess no more peace like before. I regret that i didnt treasure those 'peaceful times'. HEE. But well, i guess we can only get ourselves to adapt to the new changes. So, Shine, stop complaining ya....

I thank God...
that at least i still have a job thruout the recession period.. that at least there was no retrenchment in my org (phew!). I thank God that He really gave me a dept of colleagues that are really nice ppl to work with.... that He gave me a good mgr..who has now become my ex-mgr.. :)... that i really enjoyed my workscope! So i thank God still!

Personal Life
Well, what else? Me found out that i was preggy on Easter weekend lo. haha.. Surprised and happy we may be, still there were some uncertainties. Uncertain whether financially can we cope, uncertain whether we can be good parents, uncertain of the new type of life we are gonna have mths later.

And the many many many changes that i went thru and am still going thru, oh, and will be going thru... physical changes are the most obvious ones. I think women are really long-suffering leh. In the past, there were no painkillers to aid childbirth and i really WONDER how they managed to do it! Give birth to (like) TEN children somemore wor! Oh gosh... Pei Fu! Pei Fu! Here i am, 1st tri, giddy and naeseous until i keep complaining MK tt i dont wanna be preggy anymore (haha how childish). Here i am complaining abt this and that... swollen face, swollen legs and feet, not being properly taken care of, no welfare and priviledges for me.... blah blah blah....
I shouldnt be complaining abt all these but...

I should thank God:
that He gave us a baby! SMILEZ Shine, SMILEZ! Children are gift from God and we really shld treasure them and thank God for them! :)
And thou my 1st tri was bad (I mean BAD), at least i dont need to be hospitalised.. I heard from some frens that they need to be hospitalised or bed-rested cos of complications. Wow... so i am really blessed le!
...That i am still very active as a preggy woman wor... i really walk and walk and walk and walk and walk fast too! I carried heavy things and still am fine! (ops... HEE). I engaged in many many activites and thou some days i dont feel ok, but overall i am still doing well.. I think i am one of the most activity-engaged preggy woman ard wor... do this, do that, IC of this, help out on that and i am loving it! hahaha...So, thank God, thank God! :)

Ministry:
Hm, received the latest update of another plan that my boss has in mind for me after i deliver.

Actually, this yr, the most changes that happened really is in the area of minstry. After E291 was gone, i have been going to different CGs to helpout. Quite a number of plans was set aside for me season to season.

Last evening's was the latest update. i was a little shocked when i heard it and to tell the truth, the 1st thing tt came to my mind was "Are you sure i can do it??" But i guess with the advance in age, we also 'advance' in the way we do things and how we do them. I told boss that i need to think abt it. He gave me 1 day.

Replied him just now and i said "I am fine with it. In fact, where you want me to go, i will go."
He replied "K".

So, i guess i wil prepare myself for the new challenge and trusting and relying on Him to guide me and help me on this! :)

In one year, from Ex-E291 to N119 to current W232 and then to..... _ _ _, i know my life is in God's hand, i know there is always a reason for all these that happen.

So i thank God:
and know that good things will happen to those who trust in Him!

The Journey Continues....

2009-09-23T16:54:00.003+08:00

Ok, more pictures for the 9mths journey....

With Eunice at CG's Picnic @ Botanical Gardens - ard 3 mths.. Cant see much difference ya. :)

At home with VIC Leaders Dinner - Start of 5th mth... Can see a little lump.. haha.. :P

At Jack's Place for my ex-mgr's farewell lunch... 5th mth too... hmm, cant really show much too ya.. keke...

Okok, this one sure obvious! 6.5 mth... finally... got ppl give up seat for me at MRT! yay!

The latest pic - 7 mth plus (29 weeks)... @ Peggy's wedding...

Ops, realised that cos i was wearing BLACK dress... so its not very obvious too! hahah... AND, the baby is not ours (hor).. its one of my fren's.. beriii cute!! :P

Actually, by this time, if you look carefully, you will realised that my face is SWOLLEN. Boo... :( Cos due to water retention lor.... which is normal for most preggy ladies. My legs and feet too! need to buy shoes of a size bigger than pre-preggy days... Praying that after delivery, the water retention will go off (in Jesus' Name!) :)

Actually me at my final lap of preggy journey liaoz... (3rd Tri le)... I am excited, but yet unsure. Unsure of what will happen when baby comes, unsure of how me and MK shld handle her and how to nuture her, educate her in a Godly and correct way...

I will thus need to continue to pray for WISDOM so that, even if we arent the best parents ard, our gal can still say, she is proud of her Papa & Mama!

We will be proud of her too! *Kiss, kiss!*

God, help us... :)

Ming and fang, what can i say... its beyond words... :)

Oh, its growing! :P

2009-08-29T13:37:00.004+08:00

Ok, many have been asking me for pictures and some updates abt my pregnancy process. Actually, including me, i know of another 7-8 frens/relatives who are also pregnant like me! Wow....All beri productive wor.. haha..

Anw, i was telling one of my frens who is also pregnant that i think being pregnant is kinda FUN. Yes, you didnt see wrongly, i wrote FUN. Keke. Seeing how your body changes week by week, seeing how the embryo becomes a foetus and then become a small little being in you.. and finally now, she can be called a baby... all this changes and its process are FUN!

Everytime i see the baby thru the Ultrascan, i feel like crying, becos you are literally seeing your own baby wor. You see her little body, and her little hands and legs, you hear how fast her heart beats (really very fast.. pongpongpongpongpong..), you feel like tearing whenever she moves her hand and leg. You know that its real. There is a life in you right now!

Ai yo, but becos my gynea is always very busy and thus whenever its my turn, i have no time to be EMO. I need to quickly listen to what he has to say for me and the baby development and then thats it, i am outside waiting for my turn to get medicine and to fix the next appt le. So, even if i wanna get a little emo, also cant la... keke.. but i personally feel that its good to tear a little here and there during ultrascan, afterall i am a human ma. Who wouldnt get emotional when looking at their own child?

Anyhow, this was what i have been thru thus far in my pregnancy process:
(as far as i can rem..)

5th week : Shocked and a little surprised! :)
6-13th week : Super giddy, super nauseous with NO appettite at all. Just the thought of food makes me want to vomit. REALLY. :(
15-25th week(now) : Increased in appettite. Crave for sweet stuff! For those of you that know me, i dont really like chocolates, cakes and ice-cream, but after i am preggy, wow.. i am always thinking of sweet food. Til date i think i have eaten up 5 boxes of Sarah Lee's Chocolate Swirl Cake! *GRIN*

Anw, one of my concerns now is my weight gain. I have gained a total of 5.5kgs. not a lot BUT i also dont it to be a lot... if not its gonna be hard for me to shed them off after birth! So i am kinda controlling the amt of food i eat per day. But but but... i still feast like once every 2 weeks. keke..
My target is not to go beyond 57kgs all in all. Hm.

Ok 3 pictures for you all to see la. :) i realised that i haven been taking pictures during my pregnancy, so my preg pics are very limited! haha...

5th month...

5.5th month...

Ok, i know my 5.5 mth look a bit small.. look like 4.5 mth... hee...

6th Month...

More to come in the next 1 - 2 mths (if i can rem to take pictures and post it up here! hee..)

芙蓉城三月雨纷纷四月绣花针
羽毛扇遥指千军阵锦缎裁几寸
看铁马踏冰河丝线缝韶华红尘千帐灯
山水一程风雪再一程

红烛枕五月花叶深六月杏花村
红酥手青丝万千根姻缘多一分
等残阳照孤影牡丹染铜樽满城牧笛声
伊人倚门望君踏归程

君可见刺绣每一针有人为你疼
君可见牡丹开一生有人为你等
江河入海奔万物为谁春
明月照不尽离别人

君可见刺绣又一针有人为你疼
君可见夏雨秋风有人为你等
翠竹泣墨痕锦书画不成
情针意线绣不尽鸳鸯枕

此生笑傲风月瘦如刀催人老
来世与君暮暮又朝朝多逍遥

绕指柔破锦千万针杜鹃啼血声
芙蓉花蜀国尽缤纷转眼尘归尘
战歌送离人行人欲断魂
浓情蜜意此话当真

Where I Belong.

20 years for City Harvest Church (CHC)....

We started with just 20 young people.

Their pockets were empty, but their hearts were FULL. Full of passion for God. They held the Fire of God. Like Olympic, that FIRE continued until now....

I 'accidentally' came to CHC in 1995. Came for 2 reasons: 1) I wanted to see how a church is like but yet didnt want my parents to find out that i had tried attending a church, so i purposely chose one that's far from where i stayed - Paya Lebar. 2) I came because the guy that i had secretly admire then was in this church! haha...

But my accidentally became purposely. God had set me up (and i am glad that He did that! :) ) I got saved, intergrated and before i know, CHC has become my HOME.

Of course, it was in CHC where many things happened (for good of cos). They contribute to my growth and once again, i think its another set up by God. Ha. :)

This is a place where i know who were my frens, a place where i know who were not my frens, a place where i found him, a place where i found & formed my own family, a place where i realised my destiny and potential for God, a place where my character was moulded and formed to be more Godly, a place where i call HOME.

A place where i was taught 'teachability', 'accountability', 'responsbility', 'maturity' in God, 'balance' of life, 'faith', 'place of agreement is the place of power', and many many more.....

Remembered the times where we queued up under hot sun on a typical Sunday afternoon, just to have good seats, with all our full make up melting, sweating in our 'formal attire' (wow), wearing high heal shoes somemore. hm, those were the days.

Remembered the times where due to space contraints, at times, we could only hold our leaders admin meeting, seating on the steps outside the main audi.

Remembered the times where we used to meet our new frens at Paya Lebar MRT and walk them to Hollywood. Those times where we used to frequent Mac and KFC because we need a place for BS. *GRIN*. Oh not forgetting Lion City Hotel. we held some meetings there too.

Year 2000 - Sun's crossover project
Year 2001 - 2004 - Media report on our church, on Pst Kong, Sun.
Not forgetting our own Building Fund Campaigns...

From 20 to hundreds, to thousands, to ten thousands, until now... more than 27,ooo CHC-ers. :) God is good, so faithful.

Time flies of cos... when i just came, i would never expect that i will stay and make this my HOME. But i stayed and 14 years have passed. I thank God that he led me to this church. I wouldnt know where i will be or what i will be doing if i have never attend CH before.

If someone were to ask me "Do you think you will ever leave your church?" My reply, "No, becos i am "stuck" here alrdy, and there will be no turning back for me whatsoever."

Happy 20th Birthday, City Harvest...

The Pioneers...

City Harvest Church - Where I belong. :)

I Heart....

2009-07-18T13:04:00.008+08:00

Sun Ho
It is because of her that i decided to do what i want to do. Its because of her, that i have the courage and strength to keep on having that passion. Grateful to her. She is too misunderstood-ed. Try knowing her and you will be amazed by her.

Ayumi Hamasaki
Simply love her and her style. Always so gorgeous, so stylish. Its an open secret that she did went thru quite a number of Plastic Surgeries on her face (or maybe boobs too :) ), and i think its a success. :)

Donnie Yen
Not many know, but i start liking him 16 years ago. From not famous to where he is now. He definitely has grown to be more mature, and most impptly, i am glad that he didnt give up during his lowest pt in the entertainment industry. He loves his wife (Ex Miss HK) a lot, and now has beautiful children.

Taken quite some time ago. Look at his body shape! Gosh....

Vivian Chow
She is a natural beauty. Dont think she has gone under the knife before. Her looks, her posture, her eyes, face shape.... oh my... Beautiful...

Sam Li Sheng Jie
Sadly, his songs are much more famous than himself. :( But i like him too. Love his singing, so MAN. Love his voice....

Johnny Depp

Started to like him only when i watch 'Pirates'. I love Jack Sparrow for his humourous character, but like Johnny Depp for his seriousness & commitment towards acting. I think he can act very well. :)

A time i will never forget

2009-07-11T14:53:00.002+08:00

At this point of time, i am still sick, and its been almost a week le.

Besides chicken pox, which i had when i was in Pri 5 and that took me 2 weeks plus to recover, this is the next one i will never forget (i guess). I have never been so sick in my life and for so long! And its not some BIG sickness or illness, just normal flu, sore throat, etc. Oh, by the way 2 doctors cofnirmed that its not H1N1, so... hee... dont worry.. :)

3rd Jul : Woke up with a bit of sore throat. I just didnt feel well, but still went to work in the PM. Had my usual Make Up Class at nite too.

4th Jul : Woke up with 'bad-er' sore throat and head-ache. I had to visit my gynea that day, so Mk and i set off in the AM to Gleneagles.

After the visit, we decided to head to JP to buy some stuff for my pregnancy use and
then he will cook dinner that day too. After buying my preggy use stuff, we went to NTUC and (i think) i caught some flu virus there (or maybe the flu is alrdy in me. It just 'explodes' at that time, ha). I start to have blocked nose... By the time i finished my dinner, i was alrdy not feeling well.

5th Jul : Svc that week was 2 pm for our zone, so we get to sleep in a little more. I was also suppose to be meeting my cg at 11am ay Changi Airport for brunch before svc. When i woke up that day, i am very certain that i had fall sick. Quickly msg-ed WQ to tell him i am not well, so will not be joining at 11am.

Rest a while more, but woke up feeling worst. Nonetheless, i went to brush teeth, and get ready to changed and put on make up (weekly svc routine) :) ). But even as i was just doing all these, i know in my heart that i had really fallen sick. Quite sick in fact. Mk suggested that i rest at home, which i think probably its wise to do so too.

He brought me to the nearest clinic open to see doc, BUT...... we reached there at 12.25pm, doc just left for the day! The next consultation hours is 5pm! I stood there, and the feeling is like i am abt to die le and you tell me doc left for the day and ask em come back at 5pm?? Like i can wait til 5pm?? sigh...

No choice... we went home, i drank lotsa water and took a nap. MK helped to msg-ed Victor and WQ that i am sick and will not be attending svc that day. Its acty (hor), my first time in my whole lifetime missing church becos i am sick! Wow... The feeling is weird, but then honestly speaking, i know my body cant take it anymore and badly need good medicine to fight and it needs REST.

So i slept from 1plus til 5.30pm. Woke up feeling really bad... BAD la. I badly need to see doctor. I badly need MK to come back to bring me to clinic... Went to see doctor at 7plus. Doctor didnt say its H1N1, so thank God. Hee... only gave 1 day MC ( i alrdy knew i wun be well with just ONE DAY MC lor.)

6th Jul : Well, turned out to be true. Monday was worst. Asked MK and you will know. My mucus was like green and with blood stains. I have never had so much muscus in my life until i used up 1 toilet roll and (i think, 3 boxes of tissue!). The mucus was never ending one... and my nose were both soo blocked until my lips were so dry...

7th Jul : I woke up crying, becos i dun see/feel that that is any improvement whatsoever. I was dishearten acty. Then, we changed doctor (the one tt open on weekdays but i trust her more acty... ). She gave another dose of medicine (good for preggy woman) and gave me 2 more days of MC.

8th Jul : Felt slightly better and went to work in the PM. Bad choice maybe. By evening time, i was so tired and sick. I slept with air con on for first time after 2 days.

9th Jul : I woke up feeling worst.. but went to work still. Also bad choice. Why bad choice, becos i realsied when we are sick, esp bad flu, and if haven fully or at least 90% recovered, dont go to places with aircon. it will make things worst! By this time i realised that my mucus was much more, all green, throat even more sore and my phlegm got more too. Cough also got worst! By the time i end work, i really cant make it to CGM le. So i missed CGM. :(

10th Jul : Woke up and msg my boss telling her that i think my body is very weak and badly need rest so i took a day off. I then start to develop a formula for myself... All i want to do is to eat my meals, take medicine and then sleep again. and repeat this cycle for the whole day. I DONT BELIEVE I WONT GET WELL. Laid hands on myself to claim God's healing eachtime i am abt to sleep.

After each nap, i felt better. Thank God! Finally i feel that there is improvements! :)

11th Jul : TODAY, i woke up feeling much better laioz!! yeah! Finally after nearly a week, i finally feel that there is improvements! :) Nose not blocked, but still flu... still got a lot of mucus acty.... cough decreased, phlegm still there though. Oh but i kinda lost my voice... so i cant really talk... i can only whisper.. haha...

So, like what i've said, this will be a time i will never forget... Where got ppl normal flu, cough and need more than 1week to get well? ai yo.. faint.

I really dont wanna fall sick ANYMORE. Its a terrible experience acty... I acty asked MK if there is anyone tt die just becos of bad flu... Cause i thought what if i end up like dat?? haha... Ok too neg.

But then, thank God for MK who took care of me all these while. :) Love you dear. :)

And thank God for God. His strength and encouragements.... i will hold on to them. :)

Pls pray for me for 100% speedy recovery bah! Thanks! :P

THE Announcement...

2009-06-20T21:21:00.006+08:00

Err, acty hor i think by this time many many ppl shld alrdy know what i am going to announce. hehe...

During the weekend of Easter 09, i found out that i was pregnant. :)
Thank God, really thank God.

We just started trying and BAM! so zhun, we hit it and BB was conceived. :) Really a gift from God. :)

Sorry ar, a bit blur, but this is the best that i have. 2 red lines means Positive, so... :)

This one was my first scan, at 5th week. Very early pregnancy acty. You can only see the pregnancy sac or call pregnancy house. The foetus was too small to be seen then. hee..

This one was at 12th week. BB is more or less formed. Hands and feet also formed. We even saw it waved one of the hands. haha Very interesting. The brain is also developing. You can also see the spine - quite clear acty.

BB was very active then, becos it kept moving, and turning. MK say now he knows why i always feel giddy, becos BB is always turning! haha.

Anyway.. i am in the mdist of thinking of names.. Not sure boy or gal yet (think need another 1 -2 mths more), but nvm la, think of boy's and gal's names first lor... very exciting! :)

Est Due Date : 11th Dec 2009 (so near MK's bday! haha)

MRT Ethic

2009-06-20T20:51:00.002+08:00

I dunno whether is it because i have been rather impatient recently, or maybe the weather's a little to hot for me, whenever i take the MRT train, i will surely have sth to 'complain' abt. Esp after the Circle Line was open for public use and then to publicise this, they invited Phua Chu Kang and Dolly to talk and teach abt MRT manners. :) That is giving up your seat to someone that needs it more than you.

Haha.. but i feel not much use la. Each time i take the train, i often see the "Priority Seat" being eagerly taken by young army man (ma-chiam the army trng is too much a torture for them until they cant even stand for a while more), nicely dressed up OLs (pls, dress until so nice for what? Sit there bai mei ah), and mostly foreign workers (with all due respect to them; but i feel they are the ones that ba zhan the seats the most!).

There was once i managed to get a seat becos i board the train at Lakeside (so usually still got some seats one). Then by the time train reached Clementi, its alrdy full and packed. I was acty reading a magazine, so i didnt quite notice the surroundings too. Until Dover, i kinda lift up my head to relax my neck area and eyes as well, then i saw at the corner of my left eye, was a VERY pregnant lady.

To my surprise, she has been standing there all these while! Acty, she was not standing at my area at all, she was acty at the other side of the cabin, in fact quite far from me. So i looked at those ppl in front of her (nearest to her), the one at Priority Seat was sleeping (good job woman), then next to her.. was also a pregnant lady (so thats fine, but she looked very unfriendly leh..ha), then the one next to pregnant lady was sleeping (sighz, are you all really SO SO tired??), finally is the one next to me... not sleeping, not pregnant, but just di-gong lor... eyes open big big, wear until so nice, sit there and bai mei. Faint.

I gave up my seat for this VERY pregnant lady. She was very grateful and kept saying "Thank You". The thingy is not abt ppl giving thanks to you for being so NOBLE (ya rite, give up seat only what, very noble meh..), but it is really to have at least that little MRT Ethic.

If you wear until so nice, with full make up somemore, you only look good on the outside,becos to me, its only the outside la. Just sit there bai mei, not pai seh meh... i also paiseh for you leh...

If you so lack of sleep until the pt that even that short 15 - 20mins of train ride also wanna sleep, i got nothing to say la.

At least think for yourself... what if one day you grow old, you take train and you really need a seat but NO ONE... NO ONE wants to give up their seat, how will you feel??

If next time you or your wife is very pregnant, you take the train, and you really need that seat, but NO ONE... really NO ONE wants to give up their seat, how will you feel?

Do unto others what you want others to do unto you, pls.

So, in the end.. its a pregnant lady (me) giving up seat for the VERY pregnant lady. Why like dat....

Pls dont be so so hard up for a seat la. PLS.

Daddy's Day!

2009-06-20T20:22:00.005+08:00

My dad's birthday falls on 21st Jun and it just so coincide with Father's Day weekend almost every year. So its like a double celebration. haha..

This year, he wants to visit the Hay's Dairy Goat Farm and go to JB for a mini shopping, so we woke up at 9am and set off abt 20mins after that.

This is my first time visiting a Goat's Farm. Acty, nothing much one, plus got a kind of smell (Goat's smell and their poo's smell lor, haha). Overall the most excited one is our dearest Prince : Mr Guang Zu! haha...

Guang Zu drinking chocolate favour goat's milk for the first time, and.... he likes it! Wow...

Look at the goats.....

Shortly after that, we head to JB for lunch. We lunch at a HK Cafe in some wulu-wulu shopping centre. I ordered Fu-Rong Dan Fan and to my surprise, the egg was really quite BIG. But hor a little too stalty.

My lunch.. underneath is just white rice, nothing much.

The only thing i like was the drink that i ordered - Yam Milk Tea. :) The drink itself was TALL but nice la. :)

And thats my dad and Step-Mum... :)

The one at the bottom is their Spicy Fish Balls. I think its nice, except a little too salty and spicy.. haha but well its alrdy called SPICY Fishball, so.. keke...

It was acty a short trip. We went in at abt 12.30pm and came out at abt 6pm, but overall it was a good time spent with my family, esp my dad.

Looking forward to more of such trips!

Happy PAPA Day

Happy Birthday... PAPA. :)

SOS : Faltering Love - That little prayer

2009-06-06T15:05:00.004+08:00

Date : Sep 1999
Time : Night
Venue : Blk 440 Clementi Ave 3, my bedroom.

Actually, i almost forgotten that night. After he left me, i thought i was left with nothing. Practically nothing. No minstry, no frens, no love, care and concern. Nothing. All i was left with : lotsa hurts, much disappointments, many wounds, many of them...

I had to turn to Him.

Pst Tan (or maybe the HS) brought to my remembrance of that little prayer.

That little prayer that was made to Him on Sep 1999.

I was on my bed, reading His Word.. then i prayed that prayer..

He was just sitting opposite me, looking straight into my eyes. His eyes were so full of love and concern (what i needed then).

I said " Sorry..."

He said " It is ok dear. It is over"

"Can i come back to Your Presence once again?"

I was like a little gal, crying, crying....

"I am waiting for you to come back."

"I want to serve You all over again. Please. "

That night, His Love and Presence filled the entire bedroom. I remembered that i didnt close the door actually, but yet this conversation was not disturbed.

That night, we just fellowshipped.

I really have almost forgotten abt this encounter, until last nite's SOS - That little prayer.

Got me crying again.

Felt so touched by Him.

No more do i only receive, but i give.

PSB Bazaar : 01 June 09

2009-06-06T14:45:00.006+08:00

Recently, PSB held its very first Business Club Bazaar Sale. It was only for 1 day (10am - 7pm). As i have a blogshop that sells clothes, so together with another colleague, who also have a blogshop that sells bags, we pulled the rest of the colleagues in Life Sciences Dept to set up a stall. I was pretty excited as its my very first time setting up a stall in a bazaar, selling various kinds of things.

By 950am, more than half of the stalls there were already set up. Most of us started at abt 10am, however there was no crowd leh...

We thought maybe wait til noon time, surely will have more ppl come by to take a look and do some shopping. We even had small 'banners' that wrote "ALL UNDER $20!!!' and " 2nd Hand items, ALL MUST GO!!!", but.....

In the end, we only managed to sell 2 tops and 2 bags for almost one whole day. :( Actually the crowd was so bad that, by 4.30pm, a portion of the stalls packed up and left half way wor. Their leaving will decrease the motivation level of the rest of us. I also felt like leaving, but we still decide to hang on there until 7pm.

Well, we did, but we also didnt sell anymore things after the 2 tops and 2 bags.

Business was BAD that day. But i enjoyed myself and thought that its fun to do this kind of things once a while...

Actually i sold a dress at $15, but also bought another dress from colleague at $15. Whats more, i took cab to and fro workplace, because i got too many things to carry liaoz. So all in all, i KUI lor... haha but its ok la... i only do it for interest, not for profit. But if in future there is still such Bazaar coming up, hmm, think i consider bah. haha... :P

Coming...

2009-06-05T13:28:00.000+08:00

.... Some sort of announcement maybe...
Wait for it, its coming soon.

Terrible Weather!

2009-05-26T13:37:00.001+08:00

This morning….

I walked to MRT ….I sweat.

Train came and I managed to rush in (thank God), found a place to stand but it was a BAD choice to choose to stand there lor, becos the sun keep shining at me thru out the trip(no wonder I am called Shine. Ha)….. Anw, I sweat again.

MRT train like NO air con one lor… Until I gotta blow at my self to get some cool air. (Don’t ask me how I do it, but I just did it, HEE)

Minutes later…. More sweat.

THEN… got this man, he was standing just behind me(back to back), but in order to let more ppl come in, he moved back (which means moved nearer to my back), and his back touched my back!

Alrdy I was sweating like crazy and trying very hard to cool myself down, he still move so much behind until his back touched mine! The thingy is….. he was sweating like MAD and his shirt was ¾-ly WET! So his shirt sticks to my top (which was also a little wet by then).
Can you imagine?? Wet top meet wet shirt…….

Oh gosh… so gross…….

I moved to the side a little but thru out the whole trip, he keep shifting his position (maybe wanna let others have more space to stand bah) and his wet back keep touching mine lor.. Faint.

In total I shifted 4 positions in order to avoid his back.

When I reached commonwealth, I was still sweating like crazy. He alighted by then, phew. :I

Then suddenly feel got water dripping down the side of my right face…. It was my sweat dripping!

Let me tell you, I seldom sweat until so crazy, but recently’s weather is killing me softly liaoz.

BERYYYYY HOT AH!

Still faithful?

2009-05-23T17:05:00.003+08:00

Heard this recently and thought that its really true.

"Many are called, few are chosen, but fewer remain faithful."

In the past, many yearn to be CGL, to serve Him and grow CG. It is just this simple dream that they have, that drives them.

Nowadays, ppl dont want to be a leader in the KOG anymore. Maybe commitments, maybe no faith, maybe stressful, maybe they dont think this will benefit them at all. Just hearing all these reasons can sadden me, let alone God.

Or maybe those called and chosen are no longer that faithful anymore.

An ex-cgl used to have so much faith and vision to do God's work. However this person isnt good at admin. So not long after being a cgl, this person came and tell me that he/she wants to step down. I was shocked and asked for reasons. Reason:" Not good at admin work."

This person stepped down in the end. I was quite sad by his/her action and decision. In my heart (then), i looked down on him/her. I also learnt sth : NEVER TAKE YOUR CALLING FOR GRANTED. Never. Its from God and how can you say that its becos of admin that you decide not to serve Him anymore? I couldnt understand at all.

Now, i have repented that i have once looked down on this person and no longer think this way, but this has since become a valuable lesson for me personally.

God didnt called you to be the Best Admin Person ever, He didnt call you becos of your admin talents, He called you becos he sees that willing heart. But where is this willing heart now?

So how many will remain faithful?

On a normal Church service and a normal CGM, can you still fervently praise and really w0rship the Lord, even tho you have had a hard day at work, in school, or are going thru a rough patch in your r/s with your frens, family or loved ones. When you are sick and not feeling well, how do you praise the Lord?Tat no matter what happened, you will still offer the sacrifice of praise and worship to God becos He is worthy.

Even after the limelights go off, after many hyped up activities and events(SOT, Emerge, AC, etc) pass you by, will you still be on fire for the Lord. Will you still be faithful and full of faith?

D.I.S.C.

Today i went for a short course to learn how to handle difficult people.

There was a D.I.S.C Test that we need to complete.

Actually i have done this test when i was in Sec 2 (i think la), which was just 2 years ago. (GRIN)

Then my results were:

1st) I
2nd) S
3th) D & C (same result)

15 yrs later... err i mean TWO yrs later, which was just today, my results:

1st) I
2nd) S & C
3th) D

As you can see, i can never really be very D. haha, its just NOT me lah...
But as you can also see, i am getting to be more and more C. Wooo... i used to get turned off by D and C ppl and now i have more C?? Oh gosh....

I think i am being trained to be more C bah. Still, i am not VERY VERY C lah.. just that i like things to be done in a more systematic and orderly way. keke....

But anyhow, my trainer said that i am assertive, which means that i will want to have a win-win situation as much as can. TRUE. I never like conflicts and arguments. PEACE & harmony is THE word. hahaha...

By the way, if you dont know whats D.I.S.C, here's the explanation. :)

D - Dominance - Decisive, tough, strong-willed, competitive, demanding, independent.

I - Influence - Sociable, talkative, open, energetic, flamboyant.

S - Steadiness - Calm, steady, careful, patient, modest, good listener, trustworthy, stubborn.

C - Conscientiousness - Precise, follow rules, careful, logical, disicplined, withdrawn, shy.

So, whats yours..... :)

Maybe i should....

2009-05-13T20:26:00.004+08:00

..... give up.

Too many efforts put in, too little care and concerns.

Its not reciprocated.

Maybe i am silly to hold on to this.

Time and time again......

Very tired...

Maybe there really isnt any

_ _ _ _ _ _ _

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ .

Maybe i should just give up.

Something interesting that i saw on SG's public Transport recently.

#1: Very inconsiderate passenger
He thinks the whole hand railing is his. When i purposely force my hand in, he stood straight a little, turn and look at me. I looked back at him (acting innocent, like "Why are you looking at me?"). Then he continued to rest his body ON my fingers. GOOD JOB UNCLE, GOOD JOB. So no choice, cos painful, i withdraw my crushed fingers and decided to take this picture. Very INCONSIDERATE. Good Job UNCLE.

#2: Amazing!
I found this on SBS bus 157! Interesting right? Its actually an advert by Nokia on their N series phone that can play some cool music, so the whole feeling is like you are in a pub, but acty you are travelling on a bus! Haha.. interesting!

Blaming on him/her?

2009-04-30T11:43:00.000+08:00

Hmm, think I have been shifting blame on him/her and I should just stop doing that. Its so childish to shift blame to others, thinking that its not your fault, but everyone else’s. :(

I should be responsible for my own life.

Yup, i should be. :I

A lesson

2009-04-25T14:57:00.003+08:00

In the past, i always wanted to be this kind and that kind of leader, but after years of leadership, i learnt that its not you who WANT to be this kind or that kind of leader, but what type of leader God wants you to be.

I used to think that being a D leader is quite cool, but not now. Its not being D thats cool, but really, its (once again) the care and the concern for ppl under you. PK said, "Ppl dont care how much you know, unless they know how much you care. " VERY IMPT ar.

We can go by another way to teach and educate these ppl, but surely not with that D-ness in us. No ones wants to work under a D person! True, being under a D leader can teach us many things, but not valuable things. It only allows us to be more and more military. I dont wanna be such a person. I give choice, becos God gives choices. He respects us and thus we shld respect our ppl.

I want to care and be concern for these ppl to the best that i can. :)

Sick!!

2009-04-25T14:53:00.002+08:00

Been sick for almost a week! And quite sick somemore... Feel so sianz, always sick. Haiz, i think i spent nearly $120 bucks just on visiting the doctor!

Gosh... but thank God i can claim back abt half of it... keke, thank God la. :)

God, i pray that i wont be sick anymore, at least for the sake of..... (keke)

Need to know badly.

2009-04-15T21:26:00.002+08:00

I badly need to know what kind of person am i.
What characters do i have.
How do friends see me.

I need to know badly. Badly.

Recent thoughts.

2009-04-08T21:35:00.002+08:00

Recently i have been thinking abt friends that i know personally. Am pretty amazed abt how human beings can change fast and much.

I cant say that we are VERY good frens, but i am pretty sure she had seen me as one of those frens that she wants to spend more time with during those days. She used to gimme hugs after hugs, say very nice things abt me and my future, abt what God will do in my life. She seemed so friendly (then).

Few yrs later, she totally changed. I said Hi to her, she did not bother to even say Hi back. I was a little shock. After that i realised she has rise up to a much higher level in her ministry. Frankly speaking, i am happy for her. God really used her fully.

But her unfriendliness makes me feel uncomfy and a little sad. Each time i will check my heart and ask myself if this is hatred, bitterness, grudge, etc. I must admit that it has always been disappointment in how much she changed. In fact some ppl may even think its pride in her. I am not sure. I just hope its none of these, but that she has matured and thus explains the vast difference in character.

Yesterday when PK asked us to release that person that let us down, to forgive them, she came to my mind. But i am pretty sure that i have forgiven her. Its just the SAD and disappointed feeling thats still in me.

If its true. Can fame changed a person?

I believe that you should be who you are no matter what. Be it you are going thru hard times, or that promotions come your way. before famous and after famous, treat your frens the same.

Is $$ everything??

2009-04-08T21:21:00.003+08:00

Pretty upset yesterday. Was at a coffeeshop having my dinner and due to the rush for time, i urgently wanted to quickly order a drink to go with my noodles. When i turn to my right, i saw a 30 plus yr old lady, wearing Tiger Uniform walking by. She stopped to ask one of the uncle there if he wants to order a 'drink'. She did the thumbs up sign, but direction is towards her mouth. Obviously she is asking if he wants to order beer to drink. Uncle shook his head to indicate 'No', and immediately i signalled for her to look at me.

The moment she saw me, she look unhappy, becos she know tt i want to make use of her to order non - Tiger drink. She makes commission out of the beers and obviously she isnt happy to help to bring my Green Tea.

After i ordered, she looked at my other frens (same table as me), to ask if they want to order too. Unfortunately, they shook their heads, which means only I am ordering. She was even more "Bu Shuang". Looked really unwilling to bring me my ONE green tea. So, i looked at her unhappy face, and she looked at me, and then someone just came over and i talked to that person. This lady just walked away! My green tea NEVER came...

I mean if you really dont want, SAY DONT WANT pls. i will surely be upset, but i rather you just directly say dont want, then keep me wondering if my green tea is ever going to come.

Quite sad la. I understand now economic crisis and many are affected. But only if we can be more far-sighted, i believe things (overall) can be better.

$$ is NOT everything Auntie.

Kel's bday @ Minori

2009-03-30T13:26:00.007+08:00

A few of us celebrated Kel's bday at a Jap Restaurant, call the Minori. They serve Ala-Carte buffet, all jap food for $36++(+) per person.

Of cos almost everyone were excited abt it, becos they can eat sashimi, tuna, etc.. (all fresh!) for free flow!

Me not very excited la.. haha cos i dun eat raw food and i dont quite enjoy jap food either. :I

While almost everyone were indulging themselves into this.......

I was eating this...... :)

Becos i really cant appreciate the former at all! hahah... I know, i know... Waste $$ rite? ai ya.. dun like that la.. i really tried to fulfil my righteousness by eating slight more expensive food liaoz leh.. like the Garlic Fried Rice! (yummy!!), and some sushis, soft shell crabs, tempura prawns, etc... kekeke...

And, it was a VERY funny gathering la and all thanks to Victor lor.. i think him tog with BK, really Jue Pei jokers man!

Anyway, Happy Bday Kel. :)

(hope you will like the little pressie from MK and I. )

奉子成婚??

2009-03-22T00:01:00.003+08:00

Was having a dept lunch, to celebrate one collegaue's bday yesterday when one of the newer colleague who was 23 of age just asked me how come i didnt want to 奉子成婚?

I was in a little shock and then i asked her back, "Is this how you think that it should be?" She replied" Uh-huh, thats what people are doing nowadays right?"

For a moment, i really didnt know how to answer her back. I was in shock. You mean people nowadays REALLY think like this? They think that 奉子成婚 is a norm! Oh my.... GOSH.

I was sad, but didnt wanted to show out (as we were celebrating a colleague's bday), so i just explained to her that rightfully it is NOT meant to be like what she thinks. The other few colleagues sitting near us looked at me talk and were listening attentively (bah). I dont thnk i have gave a good explaination, but i do hope what i said, get into them.

This should NOT be a norm.

It really saddens me to know how much the society has changed in their thinking on marriage.

It also angers me to know that the STUPID devil is working so hard!

All the more, we should 'work harder'! :I

Another 2 years...

2009-03-21T23:22:00.002+08:00

Went to send Xiaofang and Junming off this morning. Junming is going to US due to work reasons for 2 years and thus, bringing the whole family along with him. Their flight was 6.50am and we reached Airport at 4.15am!

The couple and their adorable kids are very famous wor. At first i thought maybe only the immediate family and a few gps of their closer friends will turn up, but wow!, in the end, more than what i expected came to see them off! This shows how much of a blessing they have been in others' life. :)

But anyway, they will be there for 2 years (hopefully wont extend, like last time) and by the time they come back, Aven will be 5 while Adel near 3 bah, Chunmei's BB also will be near 2, and Peggy and Shubin will officially be someone's wife. And me, MAYBE a mother by then too. haha.. (fingers all crossed!)

Mk and I will surely miss them a lot. During those 3 weeks they stayed at our house (if you know why), we not only have developed a bond with the kids, but closer friendship with their parents too. I think both sides will agree that this friendship has broken thru to a slightly higher level of closeness liaoz! :)

(Anyway, here's some pictures...)

Baby Adel...

Toddler Aven....

Uncle Barney!

(according to Aven! hahaha)

Wu-Xias and our hubbies..... :P

So, see ya Fang and Ming, in 2 yrs time bah! Do take care pls...

Looking forward to seeing a bigger and more crowded group of Wu-Xias and families!

What a Season

2009-03-07T14:14:00.004+08:00

Yup, what a season.

Recently have been a little busier, running between 2 hospital. Especially MK.

His grandma in Malaysia was diagnosed with liver infection and because of that, she has blood infection too. (hm, all the infections coming up, bad..) Was warded to JB Hospital for abt a week, but ptl, think she is responding well to the anti-biotics and medicine given, thus finally moved to normal ward! PTL! I am praying that she will be totally healed in Jesus' name! :)

Now, its Gunagzu's turn. He has been diagnosed with pneumonia. Have been coughing badly for a week and his persistent fever dont seem to e going away too. He is warded to NUH children ward. boo... Went to visit him yesterday and this is the first time i see him so unwell and no smile at all. He used to eat almost everything you give him (other than red-red thing cos to him its chilli and its spicy, so he dont like, ha), but yesterday, we tried to tempt him with many kinds of food and he dont want! In fact he didnt have his dinner at all yesterday leh. I am also praying that he will be well very soon in Jesus' name!! :P

So, really, what a season and i hope such time will past realli soon. :I
Help me pray bah.... Thanks thanks! :)

Went to play badminton with Yp, Rong, JK and hubby today. YP was the one organising this sporty outing. Well, it was fun but tiring. The guys were good, Yp and i were so-so, but Rong.... sighz... hahaha....

But anyway, we played for an hour plus plus after we ended the game, we decide to head down to Boon Lay Shopping Centre area to have our dinner. Just when we were walking out,we hit the pedestrain pavement and start walking to the hawker area. MK and JK were walking in front (they walk very fast, i think they were quite hungry then :) ), and YP and Rong were just behind me. I was walking alone, then...........

i suddenly feel sth passed and literally brushed thru the side of my right foot. At first i thought " Why did Yp (cos she was just behind me) kick me?" And, how i wished it was really someone kicking my foot, but IT WAS NOT..........

I saw that 'thing' that brushed pass my foot, ran down the drain and if i didnt see wrongly, it was a RAT!!

OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG!!!!! (*G - gosh)

Immediately, i turned back and held tightly to Yp's hand (and i think Rong's hand too bah) and i couldnt speak! Becos it was FAR TOO GROSS!!! The gals kept asking what has happened but i just cant speak out any words then. Yp got a bit nervous and quickly shouted for MK. The guys turned and MK run to me and ask what happened. I finally got the courage to say, "Its a RAT!"

The gals kinda screamed! Then i keep asking someone ofr tissue and got MK to help me wipe away any DIRT that the rat left behind! It was far too gross and i couldnt do it, so MK gotta help me with it. Poor hubby lah... keke...

.
.
.
.
.
.

The moment i got home, i head straight to bathroom to wash my feet, eps that right foot. EEEEEE.... how gross, my gosh!

During bathing time, after i used the normal shower foam to wash, i still use Dettol to wash and i wash and i WASH!, until i have a peaceful mind......

Now i really dont dare to walk on those pedestrain pavemeny liaoz.... maybe i am paranoid bah.. hee..

Am i LATE?

2009-02-25T18:03:00.004+08:00

Am i late? I am referring to the areas of interest(s).

I really, really like Fashion (F) & Make Up (MU) a lot. Nothing really interests or captures my immediate attention, other than.... GOD! Oh c'mon, dont be OVER spiritual lah! Err, okok, i was joking, Nono, i was serious abt God catching my immediate attention, but... ai ya, you know la..

What i meants was that F & MU really catch my attention.

I can keep on looking thru Vivi (my fashion feed!) mag again and again and not be bored by the clothes in there. The mag could be Sep 08 but yet i love to draw out the most fashion essence from each month's.

My close friends will know that i have never really dream that i will ever have my own blogshop, but somehow, it just happened! Setting up and managing Pink Lady is really not easy afterall. Need to constantly think of where to get my stocks and also gotta always consider the design, price and credibility of the suppliers too.

Wrt MU, no need close friends, ppl that arent that close to me, will also know that i am VAIN. Ok, i admit. But in the world we live in nowadays, a lot a lot of ppl are also vain wat. hee...

I was shopping at Orchard recently and i noticed that youngsters nowadays (and this include guys too, mind you) are so so good in making themselves look good! They can really dress up man! They can dress up, they are also good at dolling themselves up. Amazing!

Some customers suggested that i should seriously consider to b a fashion consultant, giving workshops to ppl, etc. Hmm, maybe i really should. :)

I always wanted to be a fashion stylist. Becos i really feel very happy and satisfied when i see ppl look good. I can help to style them so that they can walk in line with the rest in the modern society that we live in.

SO, am i late? My God says No. :)

JB Trip - 23 Feb 09

2009-02-25T17:03:00.010+08:00

After dinner....

See how hungry we were! Oh btw each person only paid S$7 bucks for the chi cha! CHEAP CHEAP CHEAP!

On our way for dinner..... Outside City Sq.

Poor Ah Boon, always bullied by JUNRONG lah... see Rong buy so much stuffs! hahahaha... no la, it was all ours combined tog!

Poor couple, shop until so tired and so bu nai fan alrdy, and still gotta walk with us!

Danga Shopping Mall

Pelangi Shopping Centre

Doesnt he look like tie jin gang?! haha..

This is my lunch....

The men!

The 'not normal' chawa-mushi. :P

Ready to set off!

Because bestie ask me go eat seafood, thats why i said ok to this trip. :)

In the end, i didnt really regret going, because i bought things that i like! Was updating my twitter and fb that i had my shopping therapy that day! :)

Well, we were suppose to meet 10.15am at the checkpoint, but you know lah, as usual, both MK and I were late... keke... ai ya, its was all MK's fault la, he la.... ai yo... his fault... haha. NONO, its MY fault, really. I couldnt wake up and kept lai-ing my bed, thats y we were late lor... keke...
Sorry to the only ONE that were on time and waited for the rest of us to come - MISS YEN CHUA! Thanks!! lalalala...

Our 1st stop was this shopping place call Pelangi Shopping mall (i think this should be the correct spelling bah). But hor, inside nothing much also leh. Not a lot of ppl too, and it seems the aftermath of economic crisis is reflected over at this place leh...

The moment we reach this shopping centre, we were all looking for food! All hungry ghosts! haha... But, the thingy is that there was no one to really decide where to lunch in. Everyone was waiting for everyone and no one was making decision cos they are waiting for someone to decide a place, so..... I become THAT someone. :) We finally settled for japanses food. Dont ask me the name of this jap restaruant, cos i dunno. *GRIN*

The food there was... hmmm... i think not too bad la.. the restaurant design and ambience was nice actually. Staffs there are cute too. Well, i dunno why, but for some reasons, i like to make fun of waitresses. ha, i like to see their reaction and also can test their service attitude. :)The staffs in this restaurant are cute becos i made fun of some of them and they are still smiling, so... not too bad lah. keke...

After lunch, we were all charged up and then our shopping therapy starts!We were excited, at least for most of the gals.. keke... well, namely me, yp and rong.. haha..

1 hr into our shopping therapy, we decide to change mall cos really nothing much to see one, so we head down to Danga shopping mall. Hmm, this one got a lttle more things to shop, but i would say that its still almost abt the same as the previous one leh... we spent 1 hr (also) at this Danga place.

It was abt 4pm by then and we decide to go to the all time Sporean's fav place - CITY SQUARE to shop our final lap. By this time, Jimmy couldnt take it liaoz... his legs were really aching, so i told the guys to sit down at Starbucks to rest and wait for the gals. And then, as gals, we continue to do what we are good at - shopping!

We spilt up into groups of 2 and we shop seperately. For the next 2 full hours (actually it was slightly more than 2 hrs la, but nvm, just put 2 hrs), we were like shopping hungry ghost! haha... At the end of it, we were pretty tired liaoz and decide to go makan.

We went to this place call Taman Sentosa. Its not Spore's Sentosa, for goodness sake hor. By right there are suppose to be nice food at this place, and then Rong suggested this place that she said JK and his cg went to eat before, its wu qi wu pi (good and cheap), so we settle for that.

If you rem, i said in the 1st line of this post that because bestie ask me go eat seafood, thats y i go JB, but guess what?? We end up eating Chi Cha and not entirely seafood dinner! hahaha.... so i like kinda defeat my purpose of saying yes to this trip leh... silly me! hahah..but well, i still enjoy the whole trip overall lah.. hee....

Rong said that she wants to go again the next time, but i see how 1st lah.. hee.... :)

Oh btw, if you have yet to see Msia's new custom place, you should go one of these days. It look like some International Airport! haha...

Attendees of this trip:
- YP
- JR
- Jimmy
- Zoe
- Ah Boon
- MK
- Yours Truly :P

5th used to 3rd, and now they inter-switched! haha...

Me : A handicap

2009-02-18T22:55:00.004+08:00

Hm, am i consider one? Not self-pitying of cos, but trying to come to reality (if i am one).

Many, really too many, dont know that i am a handicap person. My besties wont agree with me at all, but well, depends on how you see it. :)

I am born with a slight deformity whereby my left knee cap doesnt look normal. In fact, it looks a bit deform. :) and i walk with a limp, becos i didnt have a pair of balance legs. My left leg is 1 - 1.5cm shorter then my right one. :)

I also don’t have strength on my deform leg. This is why i walk with a limp. J

My mum noticed my limping when i was 11 and decided to send me for operation at a young age of 12. So, i have went thru an impt op and i thought it was kinda fun! Hee... well at such an age, you wont really know much abt danger of an op anyway. :)

Since then, i have a (i think) 12cm long scar (look like a centipede!) on my left knee cap. And its becos of this, since the age of 12, i already know how it feels to be REALLY looked at by passer-by and strangers. It sure didnt feel good. :(

Since then, i didnt want to wear anything that is above my knee cap. Definitely not shorts or short dresses. NOW, you know why i dont wear short dress and shorts and mini skirts le bah. Definitely a NO-NO unless there is leggings. :)

Some said that i shld have more confidence, while some said that i shld just show it normally. Thanks for all the advice and encouragements, but not many have gone thru my kind of feelings and thus i think not many can really talk me out of THIS. :) Not blaming anyone, not in self-pity, its just that i arent comfy to show it. Hmmm, i think it has also become like a habit, that is so so in me liaoz...

When i was 15, i innocently showed it to my bf (then), thinking that since he loves me, love will cover all fears. Well, he broke up with me the very next day. And its the lamest reason i can ever hear in my life. *GRIN*

I dont tell a lot of ppl, and i am definitely VERY secretive & quiet on this area. I dont like ppl to ask becos i dont want ppl to know. BUT....

.
.
.
.

i have decided to tell you becos i am prepared to let ppl know now. Well, after-all, it is suppose to be normal right? :P

This is also the reason why:

- i dont swim (there is NO strength on my left leg)
- i dont do much sports
- i dont run (i mean really run)
- i walk with a limp at times and i am not aware of it.
- i dont wear high heel shoes often
- i must sit down wherever i go, becos i am relying only on 1 leg's strength. (am i handicap or wat?? hahaha)
- i can NOT take stairs - becos since i only have the strength of a single leg, you believe it or not, i cant go down stairs like normal ppl do becos this requires strength of 2 legs and i dont have.

The Bible says that God created man in His image and we are the apple of His eyes. I know there must be reason why i am born with this. I dont hate it, i dont hate God (in fact, have never), i dont blame ppl (not even my parents). In fact, i am very thankful to God that i still have the strength of my right leg (thats y when we have sport outings with Pst and zone, i go.)

This has indeed reminded me that i am to always lean on God and not my own strength.

Amen. :)

V-Day @ 14th Feb 09

2009-02-15T22:12:00.008+08:00

This year's V Day was fun and funny. haha...Well, i posted the pics in fb too, so you can go take a look.

14th Feb 09

Wanted to wake up at 9.30am, to prepare and doll myself up and for THE occassion, BUT, in the end, (haiz), we woke up at 11am lor! ai yo yo.... sleep til so late...

Anyhow, we dilly-dally until abt 12.30pm then go out lor...

And MK lagi best, didnt make reservations on one of the intended restaurants, so in the end we didnt managed to go there. We went to NYDC @ Wheelock's place. I like it there too la. Hee, not too ex and not too class. You know lah, too class place hor, you eat also feel funny.. hee...

He ordered some pizza with sausages and mushrooms on it and i ordered Grilled Dory with flavoured rice (the rice not much flavour leh, ha). Both our dishes are nice! BUT.... after we ate, MK has stommy pain and made good frens with the public toilets at Taka. I also felt my stommy 'grooo---grooo...", but then i was busy shopping , so i kinda ignored the 'grooo---groo...' (*GRIN*) .

But still it was good lah. :) Oh, he gave me Nike (or Addidas??) sports bra - err think can say ba... hee cos some of you might know that i started gym-ming recently and with sports bra, it will be better. :) I like it and will use it! Thanks dear... Muacks....

As for me leh.. buy le but haven give yet cos its at someone's place and not convenient to go collect. (HEE...) Anyway, i told him that watever i give him, he must accept it, haha.. a bit 'controlling' hor.. err.. but dun care, he just gotta accept it. hahah... ai ya, he will grow to like it one lah... its sth in line with what Pst Kong preached today! hahaha... :)

Anyhow, we went to JK's hse to celebrate Vday together with, Cheryl, Huifangy, Yanping and Mingli and it was fun and funny!! hahaha... You can see my fb pics for more details...

But but, i still want to say a bit bit over here.. keke...

We wanted to take a pic with all of us in so we decided to use the timer. So MK was IC of making sure we all fit in, so that he can press the button once we ready. So got 1 pic, he pressed the button alrdy and quickly run back to position, but afterhe did that, haha, he s.l.o.w.l.y fall rightside down unto the floor!! Like a bump like dat! haha.. its was pretty funny...........hahaha...

And the thingy is that JK wanted to grab him to prevent him from falling, but given MK's size and JK's size, THAT plan just didnt work out!!

And then, before we all know it, (i think) me, yp, cheryl and rong were LAUGHING like mad!! i laughed and laughed until i cried lor! ai yo... it was just so so funny... Think we took another 5mins to cool ourselves down before we 'try' to take another one again.

The 2nd time worked but me and Rong were still laughing. So we gotta try to control our laughter, then we take the pic, but towards the end, rong couldnt take it anymore and she burst out laughing AGAIN! hahahahaha...

But anyhow, we managed to take a decent one (with my face all red and bloated, ha!)

It was fun la... and funny.....................

Happy Vday to all! :P
