30 Days

Another 30 days more and I'll be saying 'bye bye' to my singlehood status. On one hand, I'm getting tired of the wedding preparations and yet on the other hand, the responsbility of getting married, having another set of parents & starting my own family seems a bit daunting at times.

It seems so easy to just say "We are getting married" and then the flurry of activities from seaching of venue, to BS, to dates, to design of cards, wedding favours blah blah blah just seems to happen! Like the river that flows from 1 end to the other, all these things just seems to take care of itself with some efforts from us. Guess that it's good that we do not have so many issues to worry about.. but it's like.. i don't have time for myself anymore! Before all these, we had the hse reno to take care of as well... Wow.. that was really the high tension high temper high spending times! I'm v v glad that at least it is over. Of course there are still things to pay and maintain and to continue buying but at least that part of worrying where and how to get the $$ is over. Nw is we just buy what we need and wat we can afford.

Sometimes, i wonder, it's so easy to say "I do" but it's much effort and energy to keep to the "I do" how do we make sure that we are not saying "I do" to the wrong person? Or does it mean that being a catholic, we do our best to live, endure and love each other forever and ever? Since we are not allowed to divorce?

My godma says, in her marriage, there are so many times and trials and things that will cause her to rethink abt her marriage and there are times when these trials seem too much to bear and divorce is 1 option. But because of her faith and love for God and of course her hubby and family, she stayed on. She warned me, marriage is not a bed of roses and that it requires much work and effort. There's no turing back the moment we say 'Yes' in God's house.

At the moment, there's only lovely rosy pictures in my mind. I know that there will be times when i cannot stand hubby but I can only see pretty pictures in my head.. does it mean that I am not being practical? But if i am, I will not be writting this now.

Can't really explain how or what I am feeling coz I kind of wishing that the BIG day will come soon and that will put an end to my endless plans and changes.. But yet, am abit afraid of "the next day"..

I guess above all these nagging thoughts and worries and fears.. bottom line is... "Make Love a Choice".

night out wif Hubby

It's been donkey years since hubby & I last went for a movie. And with the recent movie hike, really really been a long long long time since we last watch a movie.

But tat's gng to change 2night =) Hubby bringing me to watch 'Herbie' hm... not sure of the spelling... It's about an animated car, don't know what it is about as well. But who cares, it's movie time and best of all, it's free show! Coz hubby used his M1 points to exchange for this pair of tickets. Kinda waste but his points cannot qualify for anything better so he's taking me on a night out!! Horray!!

We've been so bothered by wedding n hse.. finally some time for relaxation!

I've already dolled myself up for hubby.. now waiting for the clock to strike 6pm and then I'm outta here!!

So excited and happy, finally a change of the normal things that we have been doing. =D

change of hairstyle =)

Finally, i plucker up enough courage to go n do something to my lifeless hair! I went for rebonding.. yup... actually i think rebond dont really suit me coz i hv fine thin hair.. but my hair frizz too much. Rebond will solve all the friz for me. But i had such horrible experience when i last rebond it.. i sheded hair like a dog tat time..

But heck lar.. just do it!! So nw i hv a head of v little natural curl hair which all curls at least in the same direction, easy to manage and of course, smooth soft hair. Best of all, early in the morning, I do not hv to worry abt bad hair days anymore! =)

This week is already the last week for Aug and the real countdown has just begun. With about a mth to go for the wedding, things just seem to be getting hotter and more kan cheong and mre things seems to require our immediate attention.. hahahahahaha

I guess it's me being a kan cheong spider here, most of our things are all settled. Just need the 'finishing touches' to complete it. True to my own promise, I finished tring all the wedding favours ov the wk end. Even the ribbons issue we manage to overcome with another similiar one.. this new 1 is slightly mre expensive coz the quality is better.. we do not need such a good quality ribbon but when face with 'nothing' or this... guess the choice is pretty obvious...

ribbons with gift tags, i made...

Just left with 100 or so pieces of cards to tie the ribbons to, tonite go hm will complete the 50 at home, the other 50 got to wait till hubby finish folding. Now on weekends, it's no longer mad rush here and mad rush there, we actually got time to go to St. Peter and Paul to listen to Fr Siew to talk abt some 7th mth beliefs... wow.. n this wk end, we are gng to ACM for the 'journey of faith'. Really think my wish of being a stress free bride is not to difficult to acheive after all.. hahahahahaha...

Well, more things need to be done for the mass booklet, but we need to edit it somemore... well.. I pray tat my dear pageboy will agree to be my pageboy, Cedric seems to be throwing tamtrums coz he want to serve mass.. hai... don't know hw to manage.. coz 1 moment, he say pageboy another moment he say serve mass... chiam lar like tat.. hm.. talking abt mass.... i came across this floral bouquet. I think it looks good coz the colours are so cheery and bright.. But Godma says the ribbons abit the 'chu ru' so wondering if BC can modify it slightly.. hm....

flower bouquet & corsage

Ov the wk end, we went to Aussino... and I still do like the bedsheets with the double 'xi' but it's so expensive.. still thinking if we should spend that amout of $ on our bed while we already have 2 other sets of bedsheets + quilt cover for our bed...

Aussion bed sheets & quilt cover

A few days ago while hubby and I had lunch at Bishan, we went to Best Denki and saw this sound system... We are looking for a sound system for our bed room but this set seems abit expensive...$399... that's almost $400!!

TEAC sound system with sub woofer... too powerful for our bed room??

Maybe, alternatively, we will go to the Philips warehouse sale to look for the other model that we are aiming.. That set is definately cheaper. Cost about $199 but that's a v new model, so may not have it... oh well.. we'll c hw then.. but i fear if we go and we c that they are selling the sound system that we bought at a much much much lower rate, I'd cry!!

not my day?

Today is not my day, true but I am not gng to bitch abt it coz that will bring me down in God's eyes.. Instead I'm juz gng to change my attitude towards the rest of my day =) and give glory to God =)

Think this blog is having some problems.. i cannot find my toolbars... boohoo.. cannot edit or change my text from here. N i dont know where to change.. so I will simply stick to the boring normal lettering then.

Yesterday evening, I had such a hard time posting my post.. and today i lost my tool bar and a few mins ago, my whole post disappeared, now i go to retype my thoughts.. Yup.. not really my day.. but at least, thank God, it's abt 30 mins more before i head for CTK. Friday night = RCIA night.. at least till easter nt yr.
The PUB ppl came to our nest in the afternoon, thank goodness BIL not working today, he was able to 'house sit' and wait for the guys to come. But i'm feeling kinda pai sey now coz there's no drinks, no food and worse of all the hse is quite messy at the moment and he got to be there waiting.. poor BIL.. at least the last I heard was tat he was watching VCD.. =) Praise the Lord that at least our TV n hm system player is here. hahahahahaha

Feeling moody... know y? Coz it's tat time of the mth... well, it's supposed to be here already... n it is.. but it's not coming out full flush.. hahahahahaha.. shd be feeling blush blush now but heck lar, my blog right? Just feeling bloated, tired n groucy.. wat a mood..

N based on this cycle... horrors of horrors.... my nt cycle is right smack on my wedding.... oh dear... with the big gown.. hw to go toilet.. n definately no bed rm activity then?? I'm praying that at least my nt cycle is a bit delayed lar... so i dont hv to feel wet and uncomfy n worse of all.... fear of staining the gown!!! God help me pls!!

I think He heard me, tat's y my good o'l friend taking her own swt time.. hahahahahahahaha

During lunch time earlier, i manage to snip off the edges of all the ribbons on my wedding favours and also to slot in tat mini mini tag... looks pretty good though we hv a change in colour n ribbon material.. coz the supplier DISCONTINUED their stock.. hai... tis new ribbon mre ex lar but quality is better.. but at least... can lor.. can pass lor.. no choice..

I've been so neat with it as well, bundled them into bundles of 48. Y 48 right? Coz there are 48 pc in every box.. so i won't have to take out n keep n take out if not enough lor.. kekekekekeke

I target to finish tying 1 box by tonite? N another 2 boxes ov the wk end.. yup.. u guess it.. my wk ends are nw spend on tying ribbons.. hahahahaha.. tat's the life of me currently.. then still need to c to the invite cards, again it's also tying ribbons lor.. kekekekekekeke big ribbons for cards, small small ribbons for wedding favours.

Things are looking fine, nothing much left outstanding, left the mass booklet to cfm n to print.. will be doing it nt mth once the english expert has looked thru it.

Only thing tat's rather worrying is the number of guests that we are having... it's so difficult to say invite this n don't invite tat coz we all know each other.. n the list stands at 286... to add those whom we think not necessary but when we met up during confirmation class yest.. hai...

not tat we don't want to invite them.. but the problem is how to fit all into the canteen? Maybe, i should just let God work his miracles.. I'll just do the invitation.. think most of my friends are not so much here for the food right, especially for church friends, they are here coz they really want to share my joy.. Yup! Tat's it. Will invite!

slowing down..

It's been exactally 2 weeks since i last blog... ov the last 2 weeks, there were so many times that i feel like blogging but just can't even seem to lift my fingers to do it. I just feel so lazy to do it, y? one may ask? Maybe coz the moment i realise the IR port cannot be used on this PC i sort of felt so dejected that i just gave up. I mean part of the reason for reading others blog is also to look at sme interesting photos isn't it? N if photos are not impt, there will not be this phrase call "a picture says a THOUSAND words" right?

I'm yawning away as I write this, arms, triceps and stomach aching. Coz of the kickboxing I had yesterday coupled with the 'Body Countouring' I went for during lunch earlier, I'm not the least bit surprised if I will ache more over the wk end! But i guess it's ok lar, means that i worked those mussles and hopefully it WILL look more 'countoured' by the time i have to walk down the aisle? hahahahaha...

Feeling bored.. actually there are a number of things for me do to but as usual, I just can't seem to lift my spirits to do it. I need sme motivation somewhere, somehow. Hai..

Our mini wedding favours were delivered early last week, during the National day week and there's sooooo many boxes of it.. faintz..

boxes and boxes of wedding favours...

I stopped work on tying ribbons on the wedding favours for abt a week, reason being not coz i dont want to but coz the shop dont hv the ribbons n the supplier discontinued (Yes! Discontinued!!!) the ribbons, so for the past 1 week, we have been trying to find other alternatives but none looks as good as the original.. hai...

Prep work: Peach coloured ribbons with mini gift tags... which i spent a long long time doing...

but the lucky thing is that, at least I mange to finish 'packaging' half of the 320 pcs.. meaning, I have 160 pc (peach flavoured jam) tied using the same colour.. so we will hunt for another ribbons for the remainding 160 pc, strawberry jam.

does it look pretty? =) Actually, I'm quite proud of it.. hahahahahaha

This ribbon thing did get us worried... but once again, the grace of God is shining on us, the ribbon store called me last nite, their stock for my other ribbon came in... thank goodness.. they told me it takes 3 wks(!!!) to come in but praise God, it came in 2 days later. *Whew* Now i have ample time to tie it as well. But first, it's the preparation work, got to do the cutting up of the ribbons into shorter strips. I aim to finish tying these 160 pcs by end of this mth!! Jia You! Jia You!

Our lovenest is complete.. have handed over back to us as well. There are still some small small things that we must get David to come back and touch up. But he is in China now, so got to wait for him to come back. Even our furniture is in and it looks like a home instead of an empty shell now.. Hubby has already spent 1 nite there.. =D

Our electricals have also made their way into our nest and we have not used any of them except for the TV and sound system... hahahahahaha.. we will wait for a good time before having a 'grand opening ceremony' usage for our washing machine and fridge.. hahahahahaha... Even the air con which has been there after the wires are laid has not been doing it's work yet

Currently, we are working on a 2000 pcs jigsaw puzzle of Notre Dame church.. not making much progress coz we only spend tat few hours a week on it.. but we will try to finish it before the wedding lar

pieces of jigsaw ALL over the dining table...

Hubby and I are now working on our wedding invites. It's really quite late and we must work harder to send out the cards to our friends. Shd be able to finish by end of this mth as well lar... Hubby does the 2 fold, while i do the red strip in the middle and also the tying of ribbons... so many ribbons to tie.. Think after this wedding, i will be rather good at ribbons tying.. hahahahahaha

Thank goodnes, also settled the li bings.. heng ar.. we ordered from Pine Gardens.. costs $6.40 per box.

My family request for 55 boxes... wow.. i nv knew that there's soooo many ppl in my family! Thank God, we do not have any wedding banquet! Hubby's side want 10 boxes so we ordered a total of 65 boxes and that costs more than $400!! Wow... so much $

We also will be arranging to meet our wedding team on 3 Sep at our hse.. these 'privellage' ppl (more like kena hard work ppl!) will be the 1st guest our nest ever entertain.. hahahahahaha.. kind of fun lar but hor... also abit stress as to what to serve them and hw to contain them... hse not v big n the grp is abt 20 ppl!! Worse of all, our nest only has 10 sets of everything... hahahahahaha.. tell them use hands lar..

Hubby and me are thinking of feeding them pizza, salad, snacks and drinks.. maybe it's too little.. will think of other things on top of these.. they working for us to make our wedding go smoothly cannot ill treat them lar.. later kena saboh... hahahahahaha.. but i know they are such sweet dears, they wont do this to hubby and me lar

That solves the Guo Ta Li cakes and wedding n hse.. nw it's time for me to relax, c to the final details and just be a mei mei bride on 1 Oct

Tonite is also the 1st session of a 5 session RCIA Confirmation class.... will be meeting up with the rest of my 'course' mates.. feeling excited best of all, meeting Godma later at AMK to look at jewellery.. I already have aimmed a few pieces but cannot make up my mind coz hubby cannot give me any recommendations.. so i arranged to meet Godma instead.. nothing beats looking at pieces of blings blings, buying them and best of the best, FULLY SPONSORED!! hahahahaha... I'm a happy girl now.. kekekekekekeke

Darn!

Now that I have so many photos in my hp captured and wanted to upload to here, my stopid secondment to this new dept got to take away all my rights! Coz i got to use the IR to beam the photos out from my hp to PC and stoopid thing, i hv to hv my administer rights before i can use the IR!!! Arggg...

I was soo looking forward to putting in interesting photos here! Argg!!!!

Been feeling out of sorts ever since the secondment, i feel i am totally wasting time here, doing the same work tat i do when i was in my former dept and here is.. hai...

Argg... enough abt this lousy mood.. don't let it affect me ya!

My last weekend was spent on wedding prep and hse and mre hse prep... Do sme updates..
wedding prep...
wedding favours were delieverd yesterday, 320 pcs of mini jams. Now left to do the packaging of the jams.
photo album shd b ready for collection by 17 Sep, went down to BC on Mon (yeap, I took a day leave, so as to enjoy the long wk end) to look at the revised layout. This time, instead of that 'shi wen jiu bu ji' Ah Hong to serve me, it was my photographer, Kit. Hengz.. he so much mre professional lor. Ok, tat's settled as well.
FPIL told me ov the long wk end that they will give me $2K to buy jewellery.. FMIL wanted me to buy gold items.. but thank God, FFIL and hubby spoke up for me, so now i can get any material i want.. Yipee!!! Most likely will go to Lee Hwa next wk after work.. =)
We also went for cake tasting at Pine Gardens on sat.. wow.. we had, lychee martini, 3 layer choc, blackforrest, browine, cheescake... my fav is the 3 layer choc and the black forrest. But *sigh* their wedding cake is gonna costs us $450 if we r getting it.. after hearing the price.. we hv to say sorry.. but their Guo Ta Li things are rather reasonable.. will present the list to FPIL and see what they says since they are paying for it. If not, there are a couple of others which i think the price is right.. in fact the lowest i mange to get for marble cake is $5.25 per 0.5kg.. free delivery some mre... good right.. nw is waiting for FPIL approval only.
Only thing left for the wedding is the invite card.. seem to be having soem problem with the map.. hai.. hubby is nw trying to resolve the problem.. if not.. maybe we will have to take out the map and put it into 1 fold instead of 2 folds?
Then of course there is the Guo Ta Li thingy on the 18 Sep.. hai.. this 1.. i think take it as it comes lar.. no point i think too much now.

Hse prep..
Finally! David handover the keys to us on Sat.. So long.. wow.. do a quick count, we gave him the keys on 23 May... and he gave us back on 6 Aug.. abt 2.5 mths... woah.. quite long considering the thigns tat we do are rather simple.. but then again, the slower he do, the slower we pay.. oso good lar. We have not do any inspection yet.. better do it soon.. so can get him to come back in case of defects.
During this period of wk end and a 1 day leave, we did so much shopping! Nw my hse has utencils enough for 10 persons.. hahahaha.. includes plates, bowls n basic cutlery... wow.. needless to say also spent a bomb.. but not tat bad too leh.. we bought most of the things fm Ikea (which we went on Saturday AND Tuesday *gosh*).. except for the porcelain spoon which we bought at 'Lau Choy Seng' in chinatown... wah.. these spoons are expensive. Then we shop arnd chinatown abit been so long since we last went there.. bought a table runner for our dinning table as well.. happy with my purchases. The best deal was the chopsticks i feel, at only $1.50 for 10 pairs... cheap cheap.. hahahahahaha
Tues, we went dw to Hong Liang with Keng Hong and his wife, Cheryl (KH is hubby's colleague, Cec keeps telling me that he is a cutie... but when i saw him... chey... what a disappointment) to select our electrical appliances. We made booking for a 29" Tv, a Toshiba Fridge, a Toshiba washing machine and a Philips hm entertainment system. Total costs, $2100 with $30 discount. Not too bad hor? But too bad for us, coz we are not able to pay full, so we will be using credit card installment, we got to bear a 4.5% interest, so the total amout is $2194.50 =( but the owner willing to let us pay $2190 lar.. so a total discount of $34.50 lor.. better than nothing lar.. N, their service is so prompt! They are able to deliver the items on this Sat. Tat's soon, isn't it.
So for this Sat, I'm gonna spend it at my hm waiting for furniture and electrical to come in. Hope the furniture will come in 1st, so that the TV can come in later n just put on the TV console.
Was reading thru the SG brides earlier and i realise alot of ppl has bad comments abt the furniture delivery... n to my surprised, i saw hubby's name there.. though he did not put dw full name, but it's like the moment u c it, u know that it's him. Any1 else has this kind of feeling before? Kind of weird and difficult to explain but tat's wat happen!

Tat makes the end of my updates... seems like things are falling into plc nicely for me.. esp on the wedding n hse prep..

Last nite, hubby was telling me, we got to slowly shift our things into our new hse.. yar... now tat he reminded me.. i kind of forgot that I got to shift hse.. hahahahaha. Was so happy at being at parents' home n just walk over to new hse that i kind of forgot that I got to physically shift my things over.. hahahahaha.. okie. *mental note* will start this week end..

*sigh* looks like another busy as a bee week end for me... but before i hit the week end, it's Thurs nite and tat means KICKBOXING nite! =)

It's AUGUST!?

Time simply FLEW by.. My goodness... with just a blink of my eyes, it's now Aug! N my wedding is really just less than 2 mths away! I'm feeling the panic now...

This week is another busy time for me.. hai... all my evenings are so packed now. There's got to be something every evening.. wah.. havent been sleeping early and my eye bags are abt the size of a small tea bag... and from the looks of it, the colour seems to be quite similiar too! Oh dear... oh dear..

Like this evening, I'm meeting Dedire for dinner, been ages since we last met.. gng for a simple dinner @ Bugis and then will go to BC to look at Janice's PS shots.. I simply love looking at other ppl's shots.. it's so nice and pretty to look at! Of course, the invoices are pretty huge too.. hai...

Tml, I'm having my kickboxing.. hoo! ha! And the best part of the news is, I'm away on course for 2 days!! Yippee.. no need come back office to work.. Hooray!!

Thursday, will b gng to Ikea so as to grap sme hse hold items and then get David to fix up for us ov the wk end... Ikea is in Queenstown.. hai... quite har.. and then got to rush hm to make jelly for Friday evening.

Fri, as usual, will be RCIA... but this wk is our turn to prepare tea break, will be bringing dw the jelly that I'm gonna prepare on Thursday nite.. been so long since I last made jelly, wonder if i can still remember hw to make? I already got the jelly powder yesterday evening, need to get 2 mre cans of longan and i'm ready to put on my apron and chef's hat! hahahahahaha Carmen will be making her potatoe salad.. her salad is good!! Yummy... I know coz that's wat she fed us when we went to her lovenest a couple of weeks ago.. Stephanie volunteered egg rolls.. And Samatha's group will be bring some cakes.. sounds like it's gonna be a delicious tea break.. I wonder if Celia is still gonna bring her durian swiss rolls... hahahaha.. but this swiss roll is definately gonna costs us mre than our per grp of $7.50 allocated.. hmm... when it's time to think abt the costs, then we settled it lar.

-----------------------------------------------------------

As a reflection, last sat, we went to Aloha Loyang for the sponsors + faith sharers gathering for both the Wed and Fri group of RCIA... I actually felt quite disappointed not because of anything but coz there were so few ppl! Those who were there are normally ppl whom I already know, save for the Wed grp. The Genesis grp ppl are so few. I was kind of looking forward to get to know the rest of the Genesis.. hai... but well, the food was good, as usual, master piece of our resident chef, Rebecca!

We were so honoured to have Fr Stephen with us from the evening onwards! hahahaha.. we also celebrated his birthday.. hmm.. not v sure how old he is but fortyish... we gathered.. hahahaha as we were singing him his birthday song, I think i saw his face redden and his eyes grew teary... aw.... so sentimential, this Father...

After such a good dinner, it's time to go for a long walk to work off those calories.. hahahaha.. din really walk much too just a short 1... hubby was too lazy i guess and the idea of walking back to the chalet with Lynn and Carmen was too great to resists and that cut short the walk too.. hahahahaha oh gosh... the 3 of us, ladies had so much fun walking back with Garren... hahahaha... those 2 ladies kept disturbing the little boy with "are we there yet?", "are we lost?" hahahahaha.. no wonder the little Garren showed us monkey face... hahahahahaha

we had a game in the evening, the rules were plentiful and quite confusing actually.. but well, we all had fun.. we pretend tat we had an inquirer and then have to help the inquirer to move into catechumanate.. but unfortunely, out of the 8 groups, only 1 inquirer became a catechumen.. fun.. but makes me glad tat our real inquirers are not like tat.

Guess there's plenty of learning points here... 1 that really strike me close to my heart is that, the heart may be willing, but God decides when is the RIGHT time.

body aching

ouch! ouch! ouch!

this is the outcome of gng for kickboxing after a lonnnnnnnnnnnnng time of not moving a single mussle.

Last evening, Joelle and me went for kickboxing in Dance Arts.. We paid $10 each for the trial session and then we waited nervously coz we were afraid of being the clowns in front of the whole class. N, we were right to be worried! Before the class even commence, half the class suddenly re-appear with skipping ropes, we were both stumped, where on earth did they get it? Though ricklin fm the style wedding forums did tell me that skipping ropes are provided. But where or where is it??

Finally i plucker up enough corage to ask another girl, and she pointed, "there, in the red bag" whew.... we went ov n pick our skipping ropes. But it was a waste of effort lar, the rm was quite small for so many of us, so we din have enough space to swing the rope anyway.

And after the skipping rope routine, it was kickboxing proper! Oh gosh... did i say that we "officially opened" the class with 200 push ups?? Yes, 200!! Aw... my poor poor biceps and triceps are screaming already.. and u know what? The lesson havent begin!!

Next came the cardio sets. Philip, the instructor said we will be doing 15 sets. I have no idea of what he means, but the class groan when he said that, I take it that it is something not of a simple session.

push push.. skip skip... jump jump... punch! punch! kick punch kick! gosh... i'm tired... coupled wif another few hundreds of push ups.. gosh... i know why the class groan.. me too, me too!!!

But we are not so clowns after all lar, we can both follow relatively well! Thanks to the slower motions of Philip and mayb, my 3 weeks at calfonia fitness and my hands or rather hands and legs at kickboxing, gave me an idea of what to expect? I enjoyed the class!! N that's saying something coz i hate exc of any sort!

In fact, both Joelle and i like the class, we will be signing up for the full course then which is 12 sessions @ $90 + a $10 registration fee. There are 2 sessions available per week, but we most likely will go for the Wed session coz my Confirmation class will be on Thurs and it's commencing pretty soon.

Though tired, i can feel my body relaxing also. Coz it's been a long time since i last worked my body this hard. It feels good to sweat it all out and also v importantly, burn those extra fabs that I have.

I believe if i do this as the timetable says, once a week, I'm gonna be a fit looking bride come Oct! =)

Graduation 2005

This week is the Graduation of class 2005. The 1st ceremony began on Tuesday, 10 am and the last session will be on Friday, 3pm. Total of 4827 graduads for this year. That's quite a number since we are just talking about my own campus alone.

I was on duty for both sessions today, 9 am and the 1 pm slot. Wow.. so tiring especially since I got to wear the blessed courts shoes which squeeze all my fleshy foot together and keeps air from entering my shoes.. i HATE courts shoes!! Thank goodness, the next time i wear it will be next year!

I'm so tired now, not only i got to ill treat my poor poor feet, I got to keep a lookout for the teachers who turned up and also the prize winners! Then during the tea break, got to match the student to the teacher so that photos can be taken and then sent to the school for promotional and marketing purposes.

So besides having a sore pair of feet now, I got a tired mouth coz i spent a long time chit chatting with the teachers, I mean, come on, since I am assigned to them, I cannot be just a pretty vase and stand there not talking right? I got to talk to them and make social conversations too.

Aww... din have time to taste the good food that was prepared, could only stand there and watch ppl eat.. what a torture!! Especially more so when it was lunch time!! Boo Hoo...

Grapped a quick lunch and then got ready for the 2nd session at 1 pm..

Hengzzz.... both of the teachers assigned to me, I already know them, so not much of a problem!

Overall, i think the whole session went quite well lar. So besides tired feet n empty stomach, nothing to complain.

Oh well.. think i am finally caught up in reality that I AM GETTING FAT, have made an appt wif Joelle to go for kickboxing this evening. May decide to sign on if it's good. Will see what happens after this evening then =)

disappointing photo layout man =(

wah lau... wat a disappointment!!!

went to view the photos layout yesterday at BC and they hv to assign a guy who don't seem to know what he's doing for us! Hai~~ I guess so far, the MUA, the co-ordinator and also the photographer is good lar.. Only this "Ah Hong" fellow.... he is a typical 'shi wen, jiu bu zhi' everything or anything we asked, his answer is non-commital and he not sure of everything wan... hai~~ so sad..

The shots are ok i guess, some of the artwork in some of the pages is also ok, just that, have to be assigned to this communication problem guy lor.. hai~~ He noted down our changes and say he will call hubby when he is done, fastest is 3 days, slow, 1 week, so most likely, nt wk got to go down again.

There are sme shots which we both like v much.. hubby like the kua series.. i find it ok, looks so 'chin chong' cannot take it.. hahaha.. nv seen myself dress so 'chee-na' before!! He also like the AD WG series with me holding the floral bouquet. Quite nice.. I like tat series too. But my fav. is still the series of 4 photos where, hubby held n kissed my hands. I thought it's v swt... Wanted to make that into the photo montage but too bad, it's 4 pics and the montage is only a 3-in-1 photo. =(

So our 3-in-1 is just 3 simple photos of myself, hubby and then a couple shot. Actually, I find it v plain.. coz too white.. hai.... so disappointed with the end results!! N we are paying $3K for it!!!

If it don't turn out nice, I want to cry leh... $3000!!!

recap

hm.. was thinking thru what happened ov the wk end. Sat, hubby had to piss me off so much with that pair of pants.. hai... tat really sort of spoiled my whole sat! Though Carmen's delicious dinner coupled with Lynn's Geleto more than made up for it... we had a good time, us ladies, chatting and laughing... It happen always, as long as there more than 1 woman, conversations are bound to be interesting. Unlike the men, we girls had so much fun, but when i sneak a peak at hubby n the men, they seem to be lost in front of the TV, i thought I saw Gabriel sneaking a cat's wink too!! After Carmen's hm, Nick & Jenny came to our plc to look c... gosh.. when i reached hm was already 12.30 am!!

Sun, had to wakey early (despite the late night) so as to reach CTK on time for the BOW. Goodness, I dont know for hw long I can keep this up, BOW on every sunday... wow... I think this bunch of Catechumens are really blessed with the gift of Faith already. Havent really start lesson proper, and they are all roaring and eager to go. I pray that not just the Catechumens can carry on, but us, Faith Sharers and also Sponsors also can get use to this new arrangment.

And after mass, which I had to celebrate alone (not really alone after all lar, there's so many ppl, Emma, Jason and the rest of the community!) coz hubby came for mass with his younger bro for the 9.45 am mass! I don't mind coz this is the 1st time that Jie express his interest in coming to church! Guess hubby n my prayers are heard after all! =) Yippee!!

Then after mass, had a good chicken rice lunch wif Emma and Jason, the St Vincent were here operating canteen... their chicken rice is good!! Yummy Yummy!!

After tat went hm, mop floor n after tat, rest? Nah... off I march to my new flat to clean sme mre.. and tat silly hubby of mine, gave me such a small pc of cloth that I had trouble cleaning the cupboards and wardrobe with it! N i lost my temper at him again... 2nd temper lost in 2 days!! So we just went about the cleaning in total silence... and not the first time either, for the last few wk ends, almost every wk is spent cleaning the new plc... hai... n somehow, me, this impatient person wld just loose my temper at him.. wonder when we can finish cleaning and wonder if it's gonna happen all these times...

N tis morning, i was thinking thru wat happened on Sat, y my reaction so huge... n i still do not hv a v concrete answer, but i guess is the 'face' issue? I din want hubby to go into ppl's hse dressed in rags... it oso says alot abt respect for the host doesnt it? This morning, I was nudged by the Holy Spirit, I heard, "God loves you, Sharon, despite all your shortcomings, Y do you have to be so harsh to the man that u r gonna spend the rest of ur life with? Y do u hv to pick on his faults? If God can love u so unconditionally, y arent u doing the same thing? Morever, this man is ur husband. From his rib, u were created." All right.. i admit, i did not exactally HEAR all these, but the msg was loud n clear to me... Oh goodness, my words hv caused my poor hubby hurt and yet when he went hm to change to into something else, I was still upset at him! I must apologise to him later when i c him this evening.

I've been told that, when 2 persons get together, it is to compliment each other, i seriously wonder, how am I being 'complimentary' to my hubby. But I really got to thank God for this, hubby is the most patient and wonderful man I've ever came across in my life!! He has never never lost his temper at me, however unreasonable I may be. He is God sent to me, but I at the moment don't see hw i am being "his better half".

But dear Lord, I promise to try. To learn to be the woman that You in your wonders have created me to be.

I make this prayer thru Jesus Christ, the Lord.

Amen.

MAN or a BOY??!

I'm sooooooo pissed off!!! N the title says it all!! With who? Tat man who still has the mentality of a BOY! N guess what?! He is to be called my HUSBAND!!!!

ARGGG!!!!!!!! I'm so pissed right now!!

Before he step out of the hse today, i already hinted to him this evening, we are gng to Carmen's plc for dinner. I knew he will be wearing berms n T-shirt. I hv nothing against that, what I have against is which berms he wore!!! N he have to wear the berms that I find most inapporiate!!! It's shorts not berms n worse of all, it has gone thru soooo many rnds in the machine that all the strings are standing up!!!

Y cant he just wear a decent berms!!!!!!! Arg!!!!!

It's not as though I did not tell him I find this berms suitable only in 3 situations,
1) market
2) home (be it his hm, my parents' hm or our hm)
3) beach & BBQ (coz it's gonna b dirty anyway)

but fist visit to a friend's hse, y must he turn up in this berms of all the berms that he own??!!!

Am i getting worked up? U BET!! Am I over reacting, I dont think so. Am I expecting too much, No, again I do not think so!!

Come on, there are certain atire that 1 must adhere to! At least I did not say tat berms belong to the rubbish bin and I certainly do feel tat the berms can still see the daylight in suitable situations!

Oh my goodness, i'm so worked up now!!!

N when i told or confronted him y he wore that, he says he think the berms is 'OK'. It's definately NOT OK!!! N he told me, all right, nt tm wont wear it again. Hey, that's not the point either coz we have been thru this conversation and yup! WITH THE SAME PAIR OF BERMS!!!!!!

Y cant he learn? Y cant he get it into this head??!

He has gone hm to change now. But the thing is he cld hv simply NOT wear it!!!

After me flying into my temper and all, he decided to go hm n change (well, to give him the credit, he did say he go hm to change the moment i opened my mouth) but i am still upset!

For goodness sake, he IS a 26 year old man, for that, i expect him to know how to dress himself suitably when he goes out?! N not make me behave like a mad, lunatic, old mother hen!!!

ARG!!!!!!! After venting this, I'm still upset!!!!

Full speed on the road of recovery!!

wow.. what a week, begining of this wk was news of ppl falling sick and having sme troubles.

I'm glad to say that out of the 4, 2 are healing... my God ma is back in SG, back, save and sound, but definately need to do that body check up soonest.

Hubby is recovering, *whew* at least he is not dengue, just fever, his fever has broke, still feeling weak but at least he is feeling better. Praise the Lord!!

Only thing is, my cathechumen, hers is a cfm case of dengue now. Just spoke to her and she sounds so weak, and she said if she get up and walk, may have internal bleeding! *horrors* n her hubby is admitted as well.. my goodness.. nothing we can do, coz medically, there's no cure for dengue as well, just need to let the body fight against it, and the medical team is there to treat the complications.

Not sure of Debra as well, havent had the chance to see or talk to her.

Really must ask for special blessings tonite, esp on these 4 ppl!!

satan hard at work

oh my goodness... within a short time frame of half a day, i got 3 pcs of bad news, all involving ppl fm RCIA-Genesis!

First, my catechumen, Yani is hospitalised, suspected case of dengue. Her hubby is heard to be admitted as well.

Then, I heard that my God ma, for whatever reasons has shortness of breadth and feeling v scared, made worse by she's all alone in Penang!

Following that, Debra, 1 of the sponsors has quit RCIA.. not sure of the reason.

N as though it's not bad enough, hubby is nw dw wif fever!! OMG!! Wat's happening to us?

During class on Fri, must ask Fr for special prayers to protect the rest of us from harm n OUT of satan's way!

Well, we were supposed to go dw to BC to view photo layout. But coz hubby sick nw, so we will hv to postponed and go dw another time. Don't really feel the disappointment coz if go dw means got to pay $$ again, so just as well that we are not gng dw so soon.

A short recap for the days tat zoomed by w/o my entries...
Fri... Had RCIA as usual, we were separated into our groupings, to my surprise, most of my Catechumen are already ppl whom I kwn =) Good! Already hv the bond there, my fellow sponsors are Anthony, Stepf and Carmen. Not bad, all I know too, only thing was, they are all not here!! But, God is good, He sent me Paul and Celia.. not too bad for a 1st session.. but frankly, i was jitterly when i realise all my sponsors not here. N we gang up with Fr Yim to celebrate Uncle Al's bday =D

Sat... Was the Rite of Acceptance, tat's when the enquiry period ends for the RCIA-Genesis class and they are all "promoted" to Catechumens. Wonder y Yani missed it, so i called her and she sounds so weak and sick (I din know she's a suspected dengue then)... poor thing.. well, we'll hv another Rite of Acceptance for those who missed it then. The Rite was at 5.30 mass, in CTK main church. Made me think of my own rite of Acceptance last yr as i "signed" Ee Lin wif the crosses..
Had dinner with Maxi, Lynn, Eugene, Sam, Maria n hubby at RTC.. Posh plc.. but surprisingly the pricing of the food is v reasonable!

Sun.. mad hse day, had to wait for mum to finish cooking before I cld mop the floor, n before I even started, hubby told me he came out of his plc n coming to my plc nw.. Coz we are meeting our contractor, David. Had to rush n rush... but i also know tat David is quite rubber time, so not tat bad, I din rush too hard.. hahahaha... finished mopping then took my shower n out i went. Reach Bugis and nowhere in sight of David. So we walked arnd n waited for him in Mac. Started chatting and walking arnd. Told him we need to go to Furniture Mall to pick our furnitre, he went with us and oso bargain (though not much use) and helped us with the furniture. Finally tat's settled. Our furniture is gonna be delievered on 13 Aug.. Just nice, can hv my jie mei & wedding team meeting at my plc! =)

Mon.. back to work and saw tat our confirmation class is gonna start on 25 Aug... sucks.. wanted to hold the wedding meeting then... guess, I'll hv to change date. Thank goodness, havent say anything to anyone else except Lynn.

Tues... bad day full of bad news... which links me back to today!

happy & tiring day

wah!! So happy!! Hubby called to say he ordered the latest Harry Potter book for me! Yippee!! I can't wait to get my hands on it and start reading it! Counting dw the days to 16 Jul, when I can get my book! =D

N this morning, i walked so many times rnd the campus.. taking shots so that we can hv a game for the visitors who are coming nt wk. Looking at the shots nw, think my digi not tat bad after all, and of course... my photography skills not tat bad too.. after all, me using an easy to use cam! Just point and shoot! hahahaha

Have been having free lunches since yesterday.. not bad hor? hahahaha.... Paul darling, fed me lunch saying that coz i shifted to new plc, he must cheer me up... hahahahaha.. n today went shooting with him rnd campus, too tired and i did not bring any $ with me, so he paid again... woah.. not bad not bad. Tml, we are gng out for a talk in 1 of the schools, boss driving us there and knowing boss, he oso will feed us.. wah!! 3 days of free lunch in a row.. can save the $ leh.

Time really zoom pass... without me really realising, it's already Thurs and tml is Fri... woah.. another week gone. And another wk nearer to our big day in Oct. Once tat time comes, I cannot claim tat I'm not married anymore... =(

Later after work, we are gng to make a trip dw to Bras Brasa.. to hunt for a pc of wood so that we can make our unit no.. the current number plates are spoilt and cracked.. so better change it.

N last nite, David says our hse is ready =D so happy.. but we realise that there are some things that might hv slipped his mind so we will get him to come in and finish up every singel thing before we get back the hse fm him... happy.. happy.. I'm a happy gal..

N also, he told us, he will give us grace period till Oct to finish paying him the costs of the reno at no interest.. woah.. good hor.. things are all falling in plc for us.. good!

Only thing not looking too good is work... n hm... both hubby's n my work not looking too good.. hai~~ while i'm being bored brainless here, he's looking for a new career opportunity.. He has already found another opportunity with a friend fm church.. Not that I'm against or worried abt this change, I'm mre concern if we can handle all these things coming our way, with a new career move, hse n wedding, can hubby handle? The new employer has told hubby to join him after our wedding, but suddenly last nite, hubby mentioned that he wld like to join him sooner... in fact nt mth.. hm... i oso cannot stop him coz I think this move is good for him too. Just concerned if it is too much for us to handle..

But on the other hand, i recongnise that it may be God's will for us. Suggested to hubby to continue to pray about it. Since we are being lead to this stage, there must be something we are supposed to do. N no point for us here worry abt all these things, with God on our side, who can say it is bad? For all things are made to bring glory to God!

another un-fruitful day

hai~~ when are my days gng to be mre bz and mre fruitful? I've had a change in dept and still doing back my same o'l things. So boring and yet I dont want to resign fm this plc coz the benefits are so much better.

Can only act bz and think of things to do for myself. Like gng rnd tml to capture shots for a game call "Photo Hunt" well.. at least I can improve the exisitng program. Not that bad then right?

Let's hope tml is a better and mre fruitful day then!

shifted, settled n working

oh well... after half a morning spent on carrying boxes and shifting and unpacking, I'm done at my brand new work station.

Partitions wise, I'm given the taller versions, 1.35m and it forms a 'L' shape around me. My back is against the wall, 'kau shan' as 1 of my new colleagues say and only 1 entrance to my small little plc.

Cannot say like or don't like, at least there are a couple of good things, I'm seated in such a way that ppl got to walk ov to my plc before they can c me, else they cannot really c me, i hv tall partitions, so even when i'm sitting dw, no 1 can c the tip of my head, I hv a cozy corner all by myself... i think rather comfortable lar hor..

only drawback is tat i'm seated beside the door so any1 who comes in thru the door may b able to peep into my cubicle and tat it's abit open so my things may b stolen w/o me realising.. so got to keep mre things lar, cannot like last time, everything display out.

The ppl here, more or less i already knw them coz we have worked together before on sme other activities, just need to improve the ties with them n i think it shd be ok ba..

tonite need to go dw to the lovenest again, wonder if the beams tat we last min add on are up... wanted to do them slanted but David says coz our ceiling n the floor curp not aligned so cannot do slant.. hv to do straight... abit sad lor.. but i guess no choice lor.. =(

Hubby called me earlier and asked me abt the latest book of Harry Potter - Harry Potter and the half blood prince.. I hv plans to get the book but at the moment nw, it's so ex... cannot bear to part with the $40 lor... *wish hubby will buy for me* =)

big shift tml

hai~~ tml i'm shifting office.. finally has come to tis day where I got to shift my butt. Fm a comfy 2 seater in a rm shift to 1 big community where we are all only being blocked by low partitions. Feeling lousy.. but seriously, do I hv a choice? The answer is, 'Nope'

also a couple of things at the back of my mind.. hai~~ be it wedding plans or housing plans. Though things are working n moving along quite well, there just seem to be somethings tat are bothering me and I just cannot place my fingers on it!

Argg... got to get a grip on myself!

*Shoo* all these thoughts and feelings, wif God's grace and face smiling and shinning on me, ALL things will work out fine!

wedding bells sounding =)

tml is C's wedding.. feeling the excitment for her already.. i wonder if she is too kan cheong to do anything now.. or is she having the jitters already?

tml I hv to b in CTK bright n early to help wif the church decor.. hope we do a good job.. too happy to write anything else..

will try to snap mre pics of the pretty bride tml!

granite tops

woah.. was at the lovenest last evening and v happy to see that the granite tops have been added to the kitchen! Now things look more polished and almost complete. They have even conceal up the gas pipes with the same wooden material. I'm really quite impressed with the details that David has done.

For u to 'feast' ur eyes...

David says the granite tops are supposed to be black with white dots, but it seems gray to us. But nvm, we can live with it. Only thing is the stoopid wall tiles that made the whole kitchen so BLEH... but what to do? No $ to change, so we live wif it as well..

Before we started work, we were still kind of worried if David is the right guy for us. But after having him working in our hse for the last 2 mths, Yupz... we made the right choice. He is not the kind tat will promise u everything, but can be sure, he can deliever what he promise. He's oso honest and reliable.

I think all these attributes of his are what made him to be recommended to us by our NFP trainer, S.

hm... our lovenest is really almost done, save for sme small items like the multiple fold door of the common toilet, the granite slab in the common toilet, the 2 pc of mirrors and the door in the master bed rm wardrobe, telephone pt in the hall, 1 mre light and last of all the shelving unit in the toilets and.. presto... We are set for the furniture to come in! =)

damn feedback!

I'm so pissed off!! My 1st job ov at the new dept is to analyse this stoopid huge file of numbers and try to make sense of the results!

Arg!!! Spent a few days trying to figure out what on earth is the whole thing and nw got to put it in a report! N I must must oso add that, these students!! Arggg!!!!!! I want to just throw it back at the stoopid students!

It's such a big file and I hv absoultey no idea how to put into a report.. Expect me to go n count physically?!

darn! darn! darn!!!!!!

bleh monday =(

Just because sme VVIP is coming, the whole campus is full of police n detectives and this morning, I got to be checked for my pass before I cam come in! What a way to start a morning and a MONDAY morning at that! Argg..

N the number of police, staff, n oso civillian police in campus... wah lau.. so many, makes me feel as though there is a bomb sme where in campus which is off to explode soon.. which brings me to the nt pt.. if just 1 VVIP needs so much security then what for host this visit? Rather waste of manpower and tax payers' $ isn't it? hai.. anyway they are here to stay for the whole day and I just hide in my office and ignore them.

Oh gosh.. I'm so tired.. ov the wk end was a zoom here zoom there kind of life..Sat we went to expo to look at furniture (but did not manage to get anything) then zoomed to Suntec to get SKII mask fm 1 of my friend, she selling me at $11 per pc.. v worth =) and then zoomed to Paradox.. but hai~~ wasted trup coz the shop closed at 8 pm and we reach there at 8.30 pm! Sucks.. so I still do not have my heels yet!

Sun.. was a bright n early day... went to CTK for the RCIA canteen, we sold Mee Siam... hm... Rebecca's cooking.. wow... too bad she reject the idea of setting up her own store.. other than tat, there was honey baked chicken wings, otah, chicken macroni, porridge, muffins, kueh kueh... too many to name.. n oso the usual soya bean.. yummy... ate too much though.. hahahaha but despite all the glorious food, I was still disciplined enough to stop eating 1 hr before mass starts... =)

After mass came dw, ate sme mre.. even little Clare's bday cake... well.. she's not tat little lar.. just turned 9... *Happy Birthday to U.. Happy born in the zooooo........* n then zoomed back to the main church for C's wedding rehearsal... S & I did up the pews.. fun but not easy to tighten... nw i know the decor is really not tat easy after all.. here's sme artwork.. nice?

*before anyone think tat i hv such clever & niffty fingers... i must clarify all the flowers n things done by S.. she's good isn't she.. my role was just to help tighten n fasten onto the pews* =P
throughout the time tat we were doing the decor, we were being entertainted wif angelic voices, choir team for the wedding.. I must say, all of them doing a good job! Sounds v good! Pray tat none of them loose their voices before Fri morning! hahahaha

Can c tat C is getting mre kan cheong and slightly stress but she's well organised too, gave us all our roles and things.. pretty clear of my role =D hm.. nw i'm abit concerned if I had offended her wif my questions of the AP's.. I really wanted to help her to distribute out her load so that she n Gab need not be concerned wif distributing AP's on their special day.. wonder if I sounded too pushy.. hai~~~ *bang head on wall*

Time really flies by soo fast... tis Fri will be her big day.. and 3 mths fm then my turn.. gosh...

Princess was sharing tat her preferred date is booked by another couple.. and even though if they want it in the afternoon, the sectary does not encourage and she may hv to push it back by at least a wk... can feel her disappointment.. not to mention... her choice priest may b gng for sme long course and not be able to officaiate for her... aiyoh.. tough luck... NVM, buck up princess, a better priest WILL come along!!

time to go hm..

*whew* finally it's ov. Finally it's the end of this week. Hv been feeling lousy and lazy for the past wk.. Don't know y.. in situations like this, the weather is the 1st to be blamed followed by the monthly womens' issue to be 'slaugthered' on the table.

Just super no mood.. mayb another reason is tat my dad want to invite my oldest auntie to our wedding? Hai~~ I hv no wish to c her.. my other aunties hinted to my mum if she comes, they all will siam her.. I don't blame them after wat happen at the wake of my granny.. Don't say them, I oso super no mood to c her! Gave my mum the ultimate decision last nite, if dad insists on getting her to come, then NO RELATIVES to my wedding, i rather not c any than to c her.

We had plans to go dw to furniture mall tml to select our furniture.. but hai~~ tat Leslie is having a show at Expo.. asked us to go there instead.. so far... hw ar.. shd go? shd not go? sian..

Let me run thru my plans for tml..
hv arrange to meet up wif Bashy @ Suntec to help her 'neg' for photos and oso buy the SKII mask.. she's only charging $12 per pc! Super good buy sia.. wished she had mre.. but she can only spare 10 sme mre me sharing wif Godma.. =(

need to go to Essex Walk (again?!) to collect my heels.. since tat tm till nw still havent taken it yet.

hm... tat shd be all for tml.. but don't want to stay out too late coz Sun is a Bright & Early & Long day.. with the Canteen at 7.30 am, mass at 11.30 am and C's wedding rehearsal at 1 pm... and my turn to mop floor tis wk end... *boo hoo* another wk of no rest.. hai~~

Nw the thing is, to go Expo or not to go Expo.. must plan our route...
Expo in Changi area, Essex Walk in Orchard, Suntec @ City hall.. hm....

mood-less

I NEED A CHANGE IN MY LIFE!!!!

ARG!!!! I feel so bored! I'm practically surfing the net the whole darn day, no work or rather so little work that I can drag my feet to do it I'm feeling so darn useless!

Even with the work, i don't feel like doing it. There's something wrong with me, I can't seem to buck up and work. Ifeel so lazy and it has been like this for a long time!

Now i don't hv mood to write too. ArgG!!!

lovenest reno coming to an end.... YipeE!!!

YippeE!!

the renovation for our lovenest is almost coming to an end! Was there last nite, and v happy to say that left with the granite top for the kitchen and the wardrobe in our bed room to be completed and Hooray!!!!! Tat's it!!!

V the happy... hahahahahaha

Just spoken to David and need him to add and to clarify some things. Been quite a good working experience. If my other friends need renovation, will recommend him. Just that, he abit the ah beng contractor / carpenter, wonder if my friends can accept him? Nvm lar.. tat's up to them to decide, they can always reject him if they don't like. But i oso quite scared to recommend him to the rest, coz he right at the begining tell me quite upfront that the person who recommended us to him oso not anyhow recommend wan.. so i take it as a big hint...

feeling v happy with the things that he has done for us.. let's look at pics.. since pics say a thousand words...

view of kitchen fm the hall and oso different views...
before reno


after THE reno

hm... looking at this nw, seems abit too open huh? Nvm, we will construct sme sort of partition nt tm... In the pipeline then, right, Darling?

Yoo Hoo... Darling.. WRU?

before reno


after THE reno


can u imagine our 2 mothers actually reprimanded me for tearing away the old tiled thingy.. I can't even think of a name for it! So obiang! My goodness. Luckily, we tore it away before the mothers came. If not definately
World War III!!!

before reno

tat black thing conceals the rubbish chute.. ugly thing isn't it... Yucks...

after THE reno


ta da.... my new kitchen cabinets.. looks good? Even the rubbish chute looks nice..in case u can't locate it.. it's tat squarish yellow thing at the corner. hahahaha.. Let's hope tat it lasts as long as it looks good!

not tat bad after all huh? V glad I tore away all the things despite our limited cash flow and negative comments fm hubby =P of course the kitchen is not done yet, have yet to add in the tap and the granite table top. David says nt wk then can add all these.. coz he's gng to China tis wk end to get supplies =( good & bad I guess.. we not rushing him so he can take his time to do a better job for us and we also can delay payment... hahahaha =D

Before I post sme photos of our bed rm... maybe we take a look at the altar that we had a brain wave zapped thru us and we in turn got David to do for us.. It's really a simple design.. but.. hm.. not bad! =)
pic taken before we had the altar constructed.. don't knw y hubby made me do such a funny pose =/

anyway, here's sme pics of our altar..

Altar is really just 3 planks of wood added on to tat huge pc of wall.. v proud to annouce tat it's MY idea.. but think it's not tat bad =) hubyy oso says nice =D *super proud* hahahahahahaha mental note..*must make it a habbit to pray daily* Crucufix is a gift fm David when he went to Phillpines a few weeks ago to visit his in laws (the crucufix is so new that it's still in the plastic! must bring to CTK for Fr Yim to bless before 'kai chang') =) my lousy camera can't capture the full glory of tis crucufix.. but.. for viewing pleasure.. ought to be enough?

Nw for our bed rm..
before reno


this bed frame is fm ceiling to floor.. n spells obiang in caps... O-B-I-A-N-G!! But we were told tat, 5-7 yrs ago, this design is v IN and it costs a bomb to construct! Anyway.. good bye..

after THE reno...
and say HELLO to our 'zen' bed frames.. which costs us a mini bomb... there's actually a 2 tone for the headboard.. but hm.. the colour which we chose blended in too well with each other, cannot c.. shd we repaint tat bit... get David to do it FOC?? hahahahahaha

the wardrobe b4 reno..
this is the best thing abt the hse.. i simply love the big wardrobes.. but hubby n David says not good... too GIANT for words.. so it has to go too.. Bye bye...


can't produce the newly constructed wardrobe yet coz short of the doors when I took a peep last nite.. will post it when they put it up.. David says tml, his guys will work on it.. so maybe nt wk I shd b able to post it.

Wow.. good news... don't have to wait till nt wk to take a glimse of my new wardrobes.. I hv it now!! Yippee... Was there yesterday evening (23 Jun, Thurs) and took a snapshot! Does it look good?! =P


the mre i look at it.. the mre i like our bed frame! There's another colour to the headboard, but it matches so well that it cannot be seen =( Oh well, needs 1 mre coat of pain on the head board, but this is a small thing, will be able to get it done tml hopefully or hm... shd we keep it as what it is nw.. save the trouble and $... =/ can't decide...

Hm.. quite happy wif our lovenest nw.. the mre I look at the photos, the mre it has the 'come stay in ME' feeling.. hahahahaha hm.. come to think of it.. sounds like the song... 'Everyday God' especially when '...come be with us'

Home Sweet Home~~

oh.. tell me a story..

Finally seen the pictures that was taken during the PS last nite. I won't say they are superp.. coz the models (hubby & me are not models) so sme of the pics are really bleh...

we were given sme shots fm the package but end up, we still choose mre n mre n mre.. and end up we are paying mre than $3K for the photos!!!! OMG!! I really have no idea wat came over us last nite as we were choosing.

The photographer, Kit showed us 'series' by 'series' each picture says a thousand words but try looking at the whole list of photos n all the words got lost in mid sentence.. I really cannot visualise anything till the lao ban liang came n string the same 'series' of photos together.. ah... nw i understand what it means by a 'series' tell a story.

We are pretty happy with the 'stories' being told. Though at this moment in time, it is still quite jumble.. try imagining listening to a story that starts in the middle with sme highlights in between and then to the ending and back to the begining and somewhere in the middle again. V lost huh? Tat's what's happening to me nw. I'm not sure if hubby caught the stories... he was so quiet last nite. Must be appalled at the number of pics that we chosen... poor guy.. he must be thinking of the amt of $$ that we are paying to support this once in a lifetime story book...

there are really sme interesting effects to this 'story book', personally i like the 1 tat has alot of empty space bet hubby n me.. quite artistic i feel.. though hubby keeps quiet, I can c tat he likes tat 'series' too coz he suggests it into the 3-in-1 photo frame.. well too bad tat 'series' comes in 4 shots... so got to choose something tat comes in 3 shots.

I'm not exactally feeling v guilty (or should I? hm...) I feel that since we don't have dinner nor are we really spending alot for the wedding (most of the $ goes to the hse) i feel we can spurge? But $3K is alot to spend on an album isn't it.. hai~~

trying to physo myself to feel guilty.... but.. nah... not working.... i'm happy to spend tat amt!! OMG!

Sharon... u really WU KE JUI YAO!!!!

not so good ending to an OK meeting..

We arrange for our parents to meet last Fri nite to discuss all the what nots for the wedding that both parents want to have. Overall, I think the meet up went quite well. Both sets of parents were so 'ke qi' to each other. My mother was the best, keeps on saying, we not sure, 1st time marry off a daughter, my IL's oso say the same thing, not sure and 'bu hui' 'bu hui' de... but wah lieu.. end up, my mother say the most things! And she sounds she has done alot of hn work!

What "Kuo Dai Li" must bring 24 cans on pig trotters, 2 pairs of candles, 2 bottles of liquour and AP. Then the AP she will return abit and for all those items that IL's are supposed to buy, do away with it but give AP to substitute. I listen till so blur and head big big! N here my mother say she "chin chai" and "don't know"? If she know then lagi worse lor?! OMG!! N the best part is she also select the date for the "Kuo Dai Li" already!! Then ask FIL to look c if tat day is ok and also if they hv any objection to the date.. i was so pai sey... my goodness..

Then the AD, must bring the blessed roasted pig which to symoblise my virginity.. so funny lor.. y represent my virginity wif a roasted pig? Don't know and don't understand lar, these customs of the chinese can really make someone laff till an ache in the side.

Then still got don't know what cakes and towels and a whole list of other things, nw as i think back, I think i forgot alot of things, I wonder if IL's can remember. I nw as i think back can only remember so much. But i think my mother made a mistake, everything oso chin chai and everything oso havent count and nv say the price out later if the IL's give too little, she sure go n tell the rest of the world, if give too much then later IL's oso may not be happy. Like tat chiam lor. I oso don't know wat to do. Anyway there is nothing i can do coz i oso stuck in the middle, and in situations like this, best to keep my mouth shut. Let the parents go n dicuss and come up with their own conclusion.

The thing that bothered me most is not this, this still hv time to settle but mre on the hse which i cant seem to settle, after the meeting, all of them decide to take a walk to our lovenest to take a peep. What a mistake, I wish i had stopped them but nw the damage is already done and i cannot do anything nw.

The moment they come in, all start to comment abt the kitchen.. hai~~ but to tell me to do it their way, i don't want, so obiang and also it is to do it in the same way that the previous owner has done. If tat is supposed to be the case, then what for we spend a bomb to hack it away and build new things?

Well... my MIL's face wasn't too good to look at fm her usual self. But we cannot do anything nw so we leave it as it is..

what a bad ending to the meeting session.. hai~~

it's Friday

wow.. been a wk since i last blog. Been feeling ups and downs for the past week... hai~~ again it's renovation, again it's wedding and yep! Again it's money, money , money.

Really really wish that we do not hv this kind of factor spoiling the otherwise exciting and full planning. Everything that we do or want to do is curtail by $.

And arguments with hubby had reached code red. Everyday sure hv somthing to argue about. Be it the flat or wedding or money or all of it. So sick of it. I'm tired having to argue wif him and I think he must be also tired of listening to me and argue with me as well.

Since last evening, the BS has called hubby telling him that our photos are ready for selection. We are supposed to call and make an appt to go down. Y do i feel such sadness and worried to this happy and exciting event? Hai~~ to choose 25 pc of the 100's that we had taken is no small thing. I also wished that we can have as many as we like but to be practical, the $ spent on photos can be put to better use, and even if we were to take mre photos, the album will also be kept in the drawer somewhere in the hse.. so the bottom line is that not necessary to get too many photos. But well.. me this vainpot of course want mre pics to capture the prettiest day of my life and also all the sun, the heat, the sweat and tirdness that overcame us after the PS on 2 Jun. Just thinking abt the PS makes me feel tired all over again... *whew*

must make a mental note to call my coordinator later to make this photo viewing appt, hm.. Monday after work shd be a good time. Might as well get it out of the way since we got to do it sooner or later.

Tonite, for the 1st time, hubby and me are gng to miss RCIA. Come to think about it, we have not missed any RCIA lessons before, coz we really want to go for the lessons and anther, we miss the coffee sessions wif the rest of our neophytes after the lessons. Tonite is the 1st time in 1 yr ++ that we are not in church on Friday evenings. Reason: well, my in laws and my parents are meeting to talk abt the wedding things. I seriously don't know what's gng to be discuss and what will happen during this eveing, but i sincerely pray that no matter what is the decision, the relationship bet the 2 families will not be strained and that with hubby's n my marriage, our 2 families can be united! Of course best if the parents will fork out the $ for watever that is being discussed instead of us having to pay for it as well.

This is only the 2nd time that both parents are meeting each other. The 1st time was during our ROM and the parents met each other. Tonite is the neg.. i really pray that all things work out well. My PIL's have mentioned that they would like to take a look at our new hse, so after the session, hubby will bring them there, mayb i will go too, bring my parents there as well, they have also yet to step in since the renovation started. Just hope that both sets of parents will respect what we have done so far and not tell us off for changing certain things nor to question as to y we pay what we paid. *keeping fingers cross*

Tis wk end is gonna be a bz wk end. Tml there is a sponsors and faith sharers meeting, 2.45 pm in church and we all hv to be there, so there goes my sat. And on sun, there's gng to be a fun fair to raise funds somewhere in town, thank goodness, Amy will come to pick us up, if not I will hv no idea where it is nor hw to get there. We got to reach by 9 am on a sunday.. i'm just thankful for transport.

Update abt my new dept... I had lunch wif the new colleagues a few days ago and they treated me to lunch. We already knew each other so it's not tat bad just treat the lunch mre like a social gathering. Not v comfortable with them yet but certainly hope to improve re-ships with them!

It's the end of the wk, goodness, and yet, i'm feeling as though it's Monday!! My goodness, wat's happening to me!?!?

Buck up, Sharon! Buck Up!!

Just need to vent my feelings and thoughts some where, at times it's really no point me telling my hubby wat's happening, he himself is bothered by the same things and we just wine and lament abt it together, instead of helping, it makes things worse! hai~~ and tat's not all, earlier tis morning was replying a formmer about somthing, i had typed a long and detailed reply when the stupid webpage decide to kick me out of it!! N I LOST ALL THOSE I TYPED!!!!! Soooo frausting... and just not in the mood to retype everything else. Blah.. wat a day to an end of a wk!!!

Monday blues.. wedding bells

Now that I learn hw to post photos / pics here, I cannot stop doing that and just can't stop blogging! Hahaha.. so fun.

The week end that just pass, was quite a relaxing one, (if you can call, walking around and around in IKEA relaxing)

Life resolves around hse renovation, money, more renovation, money,wedding, money, even more renovation, money and sme bit of parents. Gesh... so 'no life'! Frankly, I cannot wait for this period of hse renovation to come to a FULL STOP! Hm.. and judging from the way the renovation speed is going, I think soon will come to and end. Praise God.. then by that time my life resolves arnd wedding and money still... at least it's 1 down, 2 to go! *Yipee*

Was doing nothing much and happen to browse thru my hp pictures and realise that I had sme mre pictures to post! And here they are... Enjoyz...

Our bands sent and collected fm the shop. How long ago were we wearing this ring? Think we bought it in 1999 or was it in the yr 2000? Can't remember. After so many yrs of wearing and leaving it in the box since 2002, we of course sent it back for polishing before we wear it again - for ROM on 3 Dec 04.

A peep at our bands.. wow.. it has already been what.. 6 mths + since our ROM. Legally, we are married but in the eyes of God, not yet. N in my eyes of our parents, definately NOT YET. When was the last time, I actually took some time to admire our rings... *scratch head - can't remember*


Thank my lucky stars for friends fm church! We are saving a fair bit of decor for the church, thanks to C jie jie for donating us her unused 'real' flowers (another big thing to be thankful for, is that C jie jie is getting married 1st, 3mths before me, so i gained all experience fm her before i stress myself!)
S jie jie for doing the pews nicely & oso all the wrist corsages for my jie meis, Princess for helping me wif the layout for the card & wedding favour.. and I say, the list goes on and on! If I were to mention all the names here, I think tis blog won't end! Really got to say a super big THANK YOU to all of u, jie jie's and mei mei's out there!

Sounds alot of things are being done or seen to already. Left with nitty gritty that's to be settled. Think not that bad lar hor? If I get any more stress.. will go n shed buckets. After all women are made of tears.. hahahahaha

opps.. before I forget *finding red string to tie knot to my pinkie*, got some calls to make...
firstly.. for the shops to deliever the sink and the cooker hob tomorrow
secondly.. my monthly dosage of beauty treatment next week
thirdly.. remind David that the PUB guy is coming tomorrow afternoon and to sign for the sink and hob and to GIVE US A KEY to our new hse... got things for him to mount to the walls but no key!! ARRGGG...
fourthly.... Fr Yim's homework!!!!! EEeeKKKss!!! Tml is THE lesson...

Better go do nw.. ah.. cannot.. gng to meeting hubby lunch nw. Later then, later. Hope to get all things done by TOday!!!

wedding things...

Yipee!! I got it! I can stick pics now!! Hooray.. oh well.. nw that I got the hang of posting picture here.. must put mre, then my blog will be interesting!

1st to appear is my 'Wedding Invitation'! After so much heartache, headache.. finally.. finally tis is it!

Maybe, there are still sme mre modifications to it, but basically, the colour scheme, layout and design are fixed. =)

next on my list is my mini 'Thank You Card' to be attached to my equally mini wedding favours. God please forgive me, I killed so many trees in order to get this righ! The size, the print, the layout.. *whew* Who needs this template, holler me, I can save u sme headache n hopefully preserve sme trees too!



Following this, take some time to admire my 'blink blink' wedding heels... my 1st pair of branded heels.. fm Paradox.. costs me a whopping $280! Still cannot believe that I actually spent this kind of $$ on a pair of shoes... oh well $ spent is spent... just let me enjoy my new heels..



Lastly, myself after being dolled up and waiting for my photoshoot to start in BC. Am I looking good? *vain pot* Hm.. short of a pic of hubby.. shd go n dig out frm some where.



let's c... a pic of my hubby-to-be! Handsome young man huh?! hahahah



woah!! I'm so happy! Finally got everything loaded up! And, today is FRIDAY..

TGIF!! Opps... left my mass booklet.. time to get started, girlie! *must get started! must get started!*

Postnote: Last nite was fun, we had choir practise at K Gor Gor's hse. Went thru the hymns for C jie jie's wedding. Thankfully, me, this tone deaf person nt invloved. I went there to 'kar chiow' only, had a good time playing wif young G though. Woah.. active and naughty boy! Just like D's son - J! N come to think of it, the 2 boys, their names are so similiar n oso same behaviour, so active n mischevious! *Mental note again.. don't call names with ending wif "-ren"?* Hahahahaha

parents' meetin?!

Oh no.. oh no..

just last nite, hubby reminded me that his parents are coming to my parents plc nt Fri to discuss the wedding things.

Don't know what's gng to be discuss. Hopefully nothing too expensive since everything is gng to come out of hubby's n my pockets again. Is it necessary to have tis 'meeting'?

Hubby says i'm getting too kan cheong, maybe he is right, but hw not to be right?! Oh no..

N worse of all, nt wk for RCIA, there's only left with S to take care of all the admin things. V & M gone on holiday, of the 4 of us, left S, i feel kinda bad to leave her alone. I know the rest of the ppl will do a good job and will manage, just that I feel, as part of the admin team, since 2 members are away, S and myself shd scheduled all our personal appts to a later date.

But the date is proposed by my IL's, w/o a valid reason, shd not change right?

N this brings me to another thing, nt Fri is Cin's bday! Aw.. cannot celebrate with her.. hm.. in the 1st plc, will she b coming for class? *scratch head*

1 mre try

okie.. here goes nothing.. after the tip fm Princess L, i'll give it 1 mre try to post pic.

If all things work, shd c a pic of my cute hamy - Du Du!! But... Du Du is now wif God.

wedding card

whew.. after so many trials and error, i'm proud to finally annouce that we have our prototype out and ready!

On our 1st design (which still is the best design, I feel) it did not pass requirements coz the paper was too flimsy. But overall design and colour scheme match v well.

Our current design, we change the paper, but unfortunely, we are not able to get back the same shade of pink! So let down.. =( But it feel more like a card, according to hubby and he is happy with it.

BUT! the middle strip of paper that we wanted, cannot match the colour, so we have decided to ditch it away as well as to change a ribbon colour to something else. Spent quite some time in the shop in AMK just mixing and matching ribbons.. Spent even mre time in book shops getting the paper!

If only i cld post my card pics here! Darn.. I just cannot do it, coz of the firewall! Argg....

At least we settle the cards.. 1 big load off my mind. Got to call the book shop to make sure they ordered the paper for me.. hai~~ they do things soo slowly..

My thank you cards have all been done ages ago, just need to cfm the qty of the jars that we are getting and then we can start tying the cards to the jars.. I heard that tying ribbons not easy.. got to start doing asap then. But cannot till i know how many to buy! N that means, i can only start buying after my guests hv RSVP-ed.

Left with the mass booklet now. Thanks to C, I finally know how to print my mass orders into a booklet! N agai, thanks to L, i hv a good idea of hw the front gonn's be like. She was so swt, did a mock up for me. Only thing now is to find a pic. Opps... did i say only thing...Gosh.. need to find a picture to put in the front, yar, yar, I know a lot of ppl put their own pictures, but to be honest, hw many ppl actually keep the mass booklet?! I wld b so disappointed to c my hubby and my face on the floor, being trampled on or worse in 'Mr Bin'! To play save, there's not gng to b any pictures of hubby n me on our cards nor mass booklet!

Hm... what kind of picture to put in?? Precious moment? Those pics i soucre fm the net are too small, and the high res don't hv the pic that i want. Stray sheep? Not nice, went thru yest. Sunset? Hm... The possibilities are endless but yet no idea to start looking.. n I HATE to surf net for pics. There's so many and it takes soooo long just to search for tat ideal pic. Mayb it's tm for me to take a break n hubby's turn to find that PERFECT picture to be on our mass booklet?! hahaha.. nw.. tat's a v v good idea..

Yoo Hoo.... Darling... got a teeny weeny favour to ask..

oh no..

Oh no... what silly mistakes to make!!

Early this morning, as I came into office and log on to my hotmail acc, realise C sent me somthing, and in it she told me that I hv been spelling her name wrong all this while! What an embrassment! Should be 'L' before 'O' and not the other way round. She says she don't mind it, but.. if it's me I'm sure wont be too happy with this mistake.

Read thru E's blog and surprise that there's such rude replies in her blogger. I thought this is free expression of speech?! Sme ppl are just so rude! N i almost wanted to write rudely back as well and luckily, stopped myself in time, if not.. goodness, war ov this Blog? Can't imagine.

Hai~ feeling slightly let down. The inqurier that I am supposed to be praying for, KY, she dropped out of RCIA, means I need not be Saint Rita anymore. I was so happy last night, when hubby told me that he thinks my inquirer is fm his co, coz of her unique name.. n nw, she will come for class nt yr wif her hubby.. feeling let down.

Nvm, will continue to pray for her then.

what a sat...

what a way to spend Saturday... sesh..

morning woke up, ate brunch watch a bit of TV and then it's hard work... change all the bed sheets at hm n all the cushion covers... din realise it cld b so tiring.. followed up vaccumming the hse.. so tired after this little chore! Hai~~

took a short nap and then off to CTK for mass. Went to Paradox to get my sexy heels (which i still can't post the pics on tis blogger.. darn!) but still din manage to get coz, 1 of the crystals was not mounted properly, so the sales lady told me she will send it back to be mounted. So means i can't collect the heels today but hv to go back another time to get it. Not tat I mind, just that got to make another trip down is slightly getting me down lar. But I must say tis Paradox has good after sales services. Even Chole's heels which she bought so many months ago, the sales lady is still willing to service her FOC! Tat's what I call GOOD SERVICE! But then again, for the $$ tat we fork out for our heels, service is kind of expected lor..

had dinner at Burger Kings.. it was so packed... needless to say... It's SATURDAY!!! Had to queue so long to get food... n we just stayed there to talk abt RCIA and chat... been such a long time since hubby n me sat dw to chit chat.. missing those moments..

nowadays.. whenever we talked, it's about hse or wedding... so sick of tis topics.. at least today we digress fm the normal topics... n we chatted like friends n the way we used to! It kind of like so difficult to chat normally and not get into fights or arguments ov the hse or wedding.. hai..

but i know it's my fault, i've been doing alot of jumping myself, 'jumping to conclusions' does not help tat hubby cannot express himself clearly n i get so pek chek trying to figure wat he's trying to say n i loose my temper!

I think this is just the beginning... really got to keep my temper in ctrl if not i'm not surprised if we both do something tat will really hurt each other. Think it's time to dig out those MPC notes again.

nw tat i'm doing tis bit of things, i'm already beat... wat abt doing every SINGLE thing myself when we shift into our lovenest??! OMG!!! Tis hse hold chore issue really frightens me. Got to sit dw wif hubby to work something out..

Definately, i don't want to wash toilet.

wash clothes is the job of the blessed washing machine, cooking wise.... go my mum's hse to eat.. so can no need to do..

Last nite, we just cfm tat both our parents will meet up on 17 Jun. Hm... tested waters last nite, asked my mother wat she will be asking for, she says she's not sure and she has not thought abt it... need to ask another auntie... i hope she dont ask for too much things.. coz no matter wat she asked, it's fm me n hubby to her n those things or $ cld b put to better use..

Actually, kind of dreadint it.. dont know wat's gonna happen n no matter what, just pray tat it will not strain realationships... hai~~ n coz of this meeting, i got to find some1 to cover the admin duties for RCIA... coz V & M has gone on holidays n S is on night shift.. got to trouble another person not in admin to do it.. feeling kinda bad about it!

Every1 tells me it's ok but i feel it's my duty leh... chiam lar..

darn... hw to add pics..

gosh.. so irriating.. hv been trying n trying.. hw to add the pics in this thing!!!?

update

Gee... i'm feeling so tired! Had a long long day yesterday. Went for the much awaited photoshoot for the wedding and boy was it a long day!

We had fun of course, dolling up, looking pretty, posing and smiling for the 1st few hours we had fun but goodness as the time drags... gosh.. our smiles became so fake n stale n we cannot smile anymore but endure we have to and endure did we!

MUA is professional, change outfits, will change hair accessories and make up. Up dw the studio we go n in out in out of the changing rm we went too..

Overall, I must say that no hiccups lar, except for the previous night when my silly hubby argue wif me ov the colours of the hse, i also manage to do my nails go to CTK for NFP. Din have such great news fm NFP but well Shirley told me to monitor to c if there's any changes to my cycle if not then i need to c doc. But well, anything's possible - including stress and boredom at work, will maintain my cycle and see how it goes before I get all flustered up and go see the doc now.

But this photoshoot experience is really 1 that I do not wish to repeat. I nv knew that it can be so tiring, after the shoot, we were so tired and after dinner, i just felt like gng hm to zzzzzZZ.. but no such luck, our contractor called us and we had to meet him last nite, yes, LAST NITE, after our PS.. OMG!!

No choice coz he's leaving for Phillipines today for at least 1 week, so if we do not meet him now, we won't get so much chance, so we drag our worn out bodies to meet him. Settled more things and we headed for home. He said i look 'womanly' (of course, I look like 1, I AM ONE!! but he said tat coz of the goo on my face n i was in a dress)

Finally reached my home swt home, got hubby to removed the goo on his face and sent him packing to his hm with a mask for the night - not sure if he did use it last nite though.. later must ask him.

Though was so tired but i still pampered my face, did a mask n fell asleep, tis tells u hw tiring to b in tat photoshoot!

Tonite, another long day. Having RCIA tis evening, Debra just gave me a new role for RCIA as well, nw i'm gng to b a guardian angel for 1 of the inqueriers... Call me St Rita, St Rita of Cascia!

feelings unchecked...

tml is my photoshoot.. i think all couples will be happily thinking and planning of wat to pose hw to pose where to pose and oso wat to do? then y am i feeling the way i am feeling rite nw?

better run thru my list of things..
facial... checked
nails... checked
clothes to wear there... checked
shoes... checked
hair... checked
beauty slp? soon to be checked!
seems like all there are is there to b ready i hv done it... only thing left uncheked is my feelings... y do we hv to argue just before the PS tml? N hv to argue abt the hse?! I'm already so sick of the hse n things n we hv to argue ov it!!! I totally hv no mood for the PS nw... feel like calling it off!

These few days whenever there is anything abt the hse, it is cfm money, money and mre money! If not to pay the contractor, it is to pay for things, or the bills. I feel like shouting to the whole world tat i'm made of money?!!!

My hubby got to make me upset ov what? The paint of our bedroom! After the NFP in CTK we were gng out of the church and hubby called David. Owing to whatever reasons, David needs us to cfm the colours we would like for our bedroom. Seems like a small issue right? Thing is cfm by tonite! Best is, we don't hv the paint catalogue wif us, hw to cfm? My hubby told me, he will go n look at the catalogue tonite and cfm! So where does tat leave me? Now i dont even get to choose the colours on my bed room wall?! What logic is that?!?!?!?!?!

lousy service!!

OMG!!! I can't believe these ppl! I'm scheduled to do my nails later this evenging after work, 6.30pm at Bishan, J8. Was wondering y on earth no 1 called to cfm or remind and thank goodness i hv the cow sense to call up n make sure that they recorded my name there! N guess what?! They told me, no, I'm not in!!!

What??!! I cannot afford to not do my nails by this evening and i only have 6.30 time slot free coz need to go to CTK for NFP after that. I don't care they by hook or by crook got to do it for me!!

So pissed! What lousy services!!!
