Finally finally... I'm HIDDEN!

Gosh! Guess, I am quite what's that term? "IT idiotic"?? hahahaha.. shame on me man, I was an Engineering student and during the course of my studies did take some modules on puter and IT modules!! hai.. wat a waste of resource to go in and to grad from the course!

But! After trying and finding out and bugging Trina non stop, finally I am hidden from ppl!! And before i go on and on.... I must say that hidden as in not listed on the blogger links or watever u call it.. now Hoorray.... Guess it will stop unwanted readers.. n even hubby won't know what link I hv changed mine too..haha... n why was I so darn scared of ppl reading?? Well... to cut the whole story was coz during 1 high powered meeting, 1 colleague says to find out students who blog and give her the links so that she will go in n read and then "help" the bloggers to write and re-word their entries... hm... with senstitive info in my blog, u can be super sure that I am NOT keen in having her read it! But then again, it was not a huge problem lar.. problme was, I was already getting lazy and stopped blogging for a long long time!

Somehow, was just not in the mood.. anyway... that aside, I am picking it up agian.. slowly but surely I am blogging now!

Chiistmas is rnd the corner and my office has just put up the tree yesterday, it looks pretty cool now, with the red and gold things hanging off the branches, complete with lights. I'm glad they did not have the kind that plays a christmas carol everytime the lights are on! It will be too noisy for our otherwise silent office.

A glass tree is being displayed at my own hm.. we bought it ov the wk end and gosh! U wont believe the price of the tree! It only costs us $29.90SGD complete with the small glass ornaments that hang off the tree and 2 AA batteries. It's really pretty but me and my clusmy fingers broke 1 of it on the same night that we bought it! GOsh!!! Really felt like banging myself then! But hubby was v nice and swt, he just say nvm lor.. n he tease me saying.. the tree was not broken by our kids but by me.. hm... sometimes i really really wonder how he manages to c the funny side of the things.. if we were in reverse situations, hubby wld have been v v badly lashed out by me... hm.... I think I really got to keep my temper in check and learn fm hubby how on earth does he do it!

And ohhhh...... talking abt trees, there's a huge live tree in CTK! I've nv seen or touch a realy live tree and boy was I excited over it! Hahahahahaha.. the tree is so pretty!! N it smells fresh! Smells of pine! (obviously! anyway!)

Heard that it was a donated tree.. wow.... costs more than $800... and the tree when I saw it on Friday nite... wow wow... sparkling with golden balls, ribbons and lights... the ornaments are just nice, not too much but enough to make the tree really pretty. Took some pictures too but sucks the stopid puter can't read my IR.. *sigh* got to wait till I go back to the old office and play with the PC that Teck set up for me to use.. hai..

too lazy to even Blog!!

Don't know y, ever since the fun fair in CTK, I'm just feeling so lazy to blog.. once a few months ago, I would be eagerly waiting for my dear neighbour to turn on his/her labby or wait till I come to office to blog down every single thing.

Guess, it's the life that I am leading to make me become so miserable?? hahahaha.. Don't think hubby will be too happy to hear about it though. Life is really soooo predictable! Morning wake up, freshen up, bathe, prepare bf, make up, sit dw bf wif hubby then go off to work. Then work n work for a few hours a day then after tat go hme... either to PIL or my parents' hm or my own home.. Nothing changes.. hai...

Or it cld also be coz of the high energy level tat was used up during the wedding prep that I find my evenings so boring and useles??

Whatever is the reason, christmas is rnd the corner, better start getting sme festive cheers into my life!!!

tired & confused

Yesterday, we celebrated the annual Feast Day of Christ the King. This year, we had a fun fair for the children along with all the usual fan fair of the various food stalls, the games and also the stage peformances.

Since I don't know when, hubby and I are in the children's fun fair committee.. After weeks of planning and finally 'THE' day was yesterday. We set up the necessary on Sat. So as you can already guess, my Sat and Sun was spent in church. I must say it was for a worthwhile course but gosh... tiring leh!!! Not just tiring, at the end of the day, hubby and I went hm each with a pair of luminious pink hands! Mine was brighter than hubby's coz i kept dipping my hands into the pool of coloured water. Gosh..

Thank Goodness, Yi Yeeng, told me to use lemon to wash off and well, the colouring has gone off a fair bit but my fingernails are still bright pink! I shd have used brown yesterday and I cld have hanna "tatoo" hands man. hahahahahaha

Thought it was fun, but it's just like another event like the OH in my opinion. Something which is to be done once a year and not any more often than that! We were dead tired after it...

Went hm, took a bathe, did soem light hse work and we took a nap. So tired!! Then we were woken up by a phone call and then up we got, hubby was helping me to prepare dinner and also to watch TV at the same time.. But we had a simple dinner, just pasta. N we settled dw to watch Da Vinci Code on TV. Nice show... not that I believed Dan Brown's words but it makes it so much clearer to have a documentray produced and we cld get the facts from there.

Watched abit mre TV and I was so tired that we went off to bed at 10 pm.. and we were dead to the world. So tiring.. gosh..

This morning, hubby had to wake up at 5.40 am.. coz he needs to reach office at 6.45AM!!! Gosh... That's the time i need to wake up! I knew he was awake but I was too tired to even wake up. I continued to slp till it's time for me to wake up... Hubby is swt, he actually told me he loves me before he left the hse =)

This evening, we will be gng to PIL's plc for dinner, haven't seen them for mre than a wk! Last wk we were so bz that we had no tme to go back, today, we made it a pt to go hm for dinner at least pay them a visit. Now tat younger BIL had an op, we also can go n take a look at him.

Smsed him earlier, he says he is ok except that he is in pain. What else right? It's an op!!

I'm sure FIL tonite will have lots of things to tell me, not that I mind just that, sometimes I wish he will not say so much while we are watching TV. But then again, we seldome see him. So besides telling us when he sees us, when else right?

Hm.. somehow after being married, I seem to be mre appreciaitive of the times when my own mum wants to talk to me. Like, I can understand y she say things that she did at that particular time... though at that time I was fumming.. now I seem to be able to accept it better. Guess, after being married, not staying together will help to lessen the impact and truly - absence makes the heart grow fonder...

A few mins before 1 pm, my dad called me... strange that he does not use the home phone to call me but rather, he uses his hp to call me. I wld not have expected anything else. He called to ask me how come his retirement $ is not in the bank yet. Seems like he is hell bent on gng to China.
Hai... how i wish I can just slap him awake and tell him not to go.. but I know I cannot. I wish his acc does not have enough $ for him to take out. At least he has some pocket $ when he grows older.

I don't know y is he so hell bent on gng to China, I know that he is gng with is oldest sister, but hey, they do not have a good reputation, so why is he still taking the chance to go with them. There's so many things that I do not know and do not understand.. but again, I have to have the faith and that God will not let me carry a cross that is too heavy for me. At the moment I don't know what to do with this cross... I don't want to carry it - and I am behaving like a spoil brat, I don't have the energy, the strength & wisdom to carry it - but the Lord will give me just enough to see the whole thing thru!

Another thing is this OH biz.. hai.. been arrowed to do something which is something that I have nv done before... and I have to admit, it is getting scary... but again, as I come to it, it will be resolved coz the Lord will not leave me hanging...

Disappointment...

It was such a disappointment!!! The mega block buster of the year that I was waiting for the whole year long turned out to be such a disappointment!!!! Argg... I can almost cry as hubby & I walked home this morning (12.33am) after the movie!!!!

My gosh.. the movie started off quite ok... with the scene where the old caretaker was at the hse, saw a light and went to the old Riddle hse to take a look and he met Voldemort, Wormtail and the Barty Crouch junior. He died as according to the book as well - the deadly Avada Keda curse. But but Potter is supposed to wake up at his Uncle's hse not at Ron's place!!! Argg... then he is supposed to be fetched to Ron's plc by Mr & Mrs Weasley!!! They had a marvelous time with the Dursleys!! This was gone too. This is the 1st time tat Ron's family met Potter's relatives.. and ALL gone! Argg..

Then it's after a night of good food and laughter that all settled for bed and had to wake up brigt & early so as to go to the worldcup using the portkey.. parts of it was missing! The book also has the part where the ministy of magic was trying to keep the muggle from knowing too much, there was a guy who came up to collect bets, an old muggle whom Authur Weasley had problems with the $.. arggg!!! ALL NOT HERE!!!! =(

The match! oh man.. the match, there's supposed to be great flying by the 2 world cup teams where Krum got the snitch but his team lost, the cheering teams, the leprechuns and the veelas.. all gone!!! The show was just showing Krum and the next moment, end of the match! Then suddenly the noise that created unrest. In the book, all of them were supposed to be sleeping and then the noise was heard! The deatheaters were also playing with the muggles, where they make them float in the air and Harry with his friends were supposed to be lost in the forrest! Not in the ruins of the tentages! There is supposed to be the appearance of the hse elf, Winky which led Hermoine to set up the S.P.E.W! All not here as well!!!

The Kpo Rite Seekter was supposed to cover the story and it's supposed to come out in the daily profet, Molly was in great distress. But nope. The show.. nothing!

Then the appearance of the other 2 magic schools... their entrance is not while Prof Dum is making his speech! They came when the whole sch was supposed to welcome them. But I must admit the appearance of the 2 schools was exactly the way the book descriped it! Nice and magical and wow... impressive! hahahaha

I guess these are small things which the producer think can miss out.. in a way yar lar.. not really impt.. but I feel there are somethings which must be elaborated on! Like the Barty Crouch's son - Junior Barty Crouch, he was sent to Akzaban. How did he come out of it? How come he was prof Moody? How come Senior Barty Crouch was lying in the woods? All these are acutally clues and impt for the understanding of this show! But none was elaborated. Even after being forced to drink the truth potion, JBC was not given the chance to elaborate his escape fm Akzaban! And he was supposed to be performed "the kiss" by the dementers!!! It din happen as well!!! Arggg!!!

And the wands, the wands!! When Voldemort and Harry fought, their wands coz being made fm the same core materials - Phoenix tail, are "brother" wands and will thus, refuse to fight each other, but being forced to fight, 1 wand will repel the other wand, forcing the other wand to reverse it's magic that it had perform and in this case Voldemort's wand was being repel and forced all the killings that he had done to appear in the chrolonigical order. This was mentioned in the show but not much! And I think most of the viewers don't know...

There's so much things missing from the show. But I think it's coz of time. If the show were to go on too long and like the book, then I think I will still be in the movies now..

I feel this show, unless you have read the book, know the story, if not, you don't know what was being left out nor what you have missed.

I'm so disappointed with this show. I feel that there are more things which should have been put in.. the match for 1, the 1st task as to how the other 3 champions battled the dragons, the 2nd task in the water was quite well done and the 3rd... they have also missed out snippets of the 3rd task where Harry and friends were in the maze. Harry came to a spinex.. and hai.. missing fm the show. JBC and his escape fm Akazban, the dementers, Winky the hse elf... even in the book, there's mre being said from the penseive!!!

And the actor who play prof Dum.. hai.... he also another 1... he lacks the former actor kind of authority.. He has neither the quiet authorative and kindly prof that Harry has taken a respect for... So unsuitable for this guy to be the prof Dum!!!!!

All in all, the show is watch for effects... and if you have not read the book, *sigh* don't think you can catch what is the show doing... missed out too many details.. and after the show will be like.. huh? Y this, Y that...

Soooooo disappointed! =(

Harry... Potter

Tonite.. we are gng to catch Harry Potter... after such a long wait, finally the show is out!! Gosh.. can't wait.. but the show is at 9.50 pm. So late!!

I just want to watch now!!! Argg.. another hour before it's time to go hm..

Busy evenings

I thought that after the wedding, our evenings will be so much quieter and not so many things being lined up.

This week is another one of those whole week busy kinda week. Last evening was the only time where hubby and I are free and lazing at home! But, we din laze too much also. The moment I reached home after gng to Prime supermarket to get some veg for dinner, immediately started preparing dinner. All the way till hubby came back, then we settle down and after dinner, coz I forgot to order a Bday cake for EM, so we went downstairs. By the time, we had our bathes, it was already 10 mins to 10pm! Gosh... where did all the time go to??

This evening, hubby is hositing the monthly prayer meeting for the RCIA at our hse. So again, I got to dash back, cook dinner (tonite will be pasta in mushroom sauce, potatoe salad and soup from yesterday). Goodness knows what time the meeting will end but I think it should be around 10pm as well. Since it is just pasta, maybe I can go hm vaccumm the floor and then do dinner... Hopefully hubby can go off on time, if not by the time he reach home will be 8pm, how to be ready for the meeting? When it starts at 8pm as well?

Tml, is thank God, we are gng back to my parents' hse for dinner! And yippee... tml night, we are gng for the Harry Potter movie.. it is a sneak preview.. so I am really excited abt tml night!!

Thurs night, my colleagues will be having dinner at my place. To make things simple, it will be pasta in tomatoe sauce and potatoe salad with green salad as well.. We also will be celebrating EM's bday, that's when the cake we ordered last night will come in. =)

Friday, as usual is RCIA night.

Sat, is props set up day, got to reach CTK by 3pm and do all the set up for the feast day on Sunday. So there goes my Saturday.

Sunday, CTK Feast Day!! Got to be in church by 7.30am.... till it ends which will be 3.30pm (officially closes) But with the cleaning up and goodness knows what.. Gosh... think it is gonna be a tiring Sunday.

Hubby says Sunday nite, we go back to PIL plc for dinner, I think it is good coz I no need to cook, but after such a long day, cannot laze at home, not so good. Furthermore, that very evening, channel 5 is screening Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets! While another channel is showing "Da Vinci Code" so which should I be watching??!! =S I think most likely will be Da Vinci coz, we have the VCD for Harry Potter, does not matter if we miss the 1 on TV, anyway the 1 on TV has way too much commercials! If we are at PIL's plc, we cannot choose and FIL likes to chat while the TV is on... then I cannot watch!!!

Soo there you are.. with all the busy evenings and shows to catch on Sunday evening... busy busy busy isn't it?

Feeling fat!!!

Last nite after a whole week, we went back to my mother's plc for dinner. I think even though my sisters and mum din say it out loud. I think they kinda missed me.. hahahahahahaha

Coz the moment I went back, the hse is "full of life" the hse "woken" fm it's slumber. Think yest was the noiesiest time in the full week! hahahaha

Well, hubby and me sat down to a good dinner of curry chicken and my fav corn soup! I like corn soup. Tasty! Yum! Yum! Must learn how to cook it so next time, I can cook it for myself. Just that I think it takes some time to cook this soup, if not, I can make it in the evenings when I come home lor.

Once we sat down, my fats spill over and my mother wasted no time in telling me that I have grown fat.. hai... even my youngest sister says the same. But then agian, since when do they ever say that I have lost weight?

Nvm lar, now that the wedding is over, put on weight also not as horriable as it used to be then! hahahahaha

Ok.. gtg, go hm cook dinner for hubby.. tonite's menu will be stir fry chicken wings, nuggets, light soya sauce veg and soup. All chicken.. hahahaha.. better than nothing lar.

Tata..

silly old man

Silly old man trusts his evil sister so. So much so that he ignores the rest of all voices who speaks up.

And where does this sister brings him to? To china for biz.. and wat biz.. metal biz. Lying to him that her youngest daughter and son in law will work with him to do to biz, but little known to him that they are getting divorced..

Just when he is retiring this "perfect" biz opportunity comes up and with a magic wave of hands, tells the silly old man these:"all the things and prepartion are done, all you need to do is come wif ur retirment $ and we can be the best of partners."

Silly old man believes them, quits his job, leaves his family and off to China he flew. Ignoring the cries and advices of all who cares.

Pity for the family who fears what lies ahead.. but things will work out to God's divine plan. God's divine plans.

And who is this silly old man? "Pa pa" is his name to me. =(

Reflections...

Today is the 2nd day back at work. Surprisingly, it was not as bad as I thought it will be. Coz, I din have that much of work to do. Just lots of mails to clear and now is to follow up with some pending work which I got to settle and see to.

Next big event will be the annual OH. I kind of dreading it but that is the biggest event of my work so cannot siam 1 lar. It is by sheer luck and God's grace that I manage to get the pox during the Oct season. If not, I will be so darn tired!

Just now, I was reading Trina's blog and came across this line that she mentioned... "Sometimes just cooking for the one u love makes u happy esp when you see him eating happily". To me, in the short space of a 2-3 weeks, I have sort of experience this "happiness" hahahahaha.... not that I am a good cook, I just choose to cook the simplest of dishes which does not require much skills nor knowledge. Or maybe it helps that my hubby not that fussy when it comes to food (or rather, when it comes to the food that I put on the table, he eats, I used to think that he's picky abt food coz he will complain that our mothers' cooking not nice.) So kinda surprise that so far, not much complains from him abt the food that I cook. Most of the time, he says the dishes are not bad... wow.. I'm so proud of myself! hahahaha

And to "share" my culinary skills with others, this Sat, some friends are coming to my plc for potluck. I'm gonna make potatoe salad.. hahahaha.. taught to me by Carmen.. So easy, so effortless and I think nice. Finally manage to get the bacon bits.. so with it, I'm sure it will be finger licking... oppss.. should be spoon licking good! hahahahaha

Was talking to Cec earlier today and she was sharing bf woes. That her man seems v frightened of the big "C" - "Commitment" and that she's kinda lost as to what to do. I am not sure what to tell her except to not push and rush him. But then again, with a man who is afraid of commitment, can there be a future to look forward to? Shall I wake her up or just continue to be there as a supportive role and be a gal friend? I'm not sure. Coz I do not have such a bf in my life... or rather, my hubby was nv such a bf. N i did not give the previous guys enough time to prove to me if ther are the committed kind..

Come to think of it now, the guy says he is afraid of monotonous life.. therefore afraid of settling down. Maybe, it's not right to treat every re-ship as though will definately marry the guy.. but if the guy says it straight even after a 3 yr re-ship.. maybe it is time to give it more thought?

She seems to be rather troubled over this not too committed guy... if I were in the same shoes, I guess I will be too? But she made the choice to be with him. At the moment, she sees only him and no 1 else. Though, I suspect there isn't anyone who catches her eyes anyway. Hahahaha

I guess the best I can do is just to be there and listen to her if she needs to.. and keeping her in my prayers.. besides these little things, I don't think there is much I can do?

And just as much as Cec is sharing bf woes, a colleague is sharing bf happiness! What a contrast. Over lunch yest, she was sharing that she met a wonderful guy. Fm the way she talks, Yep, DEFINATELY a wondeful guy... not just wonderful guy. Sounds hunky also. N when I saw the photo... wow! Looks hunky as well. Though they have just started, but wow wow wow... they hv plans for the future!

Really a huge contrast when I sit down now and think things thru! And when I compare my hubby to these 2 men, he is neither... God is really powerful. He creates each of us so differently yet well suited for each other. I cld nv be suitable with the commitment frightened guy, did I mention that he guards his freedom with a capital G?? Both of us will just grow apart! Neither can I be with the hunk, I will be too self conscious of my lack of "belle". All in all, my hubby is still the most suitable for me... He's so patient, giving in to me most of the time, taking in my nonscense and most of all, he loves me mre than I love him! He thinks of me and my happiness 1st (most of the time) always. He will be there when I need him, console me when I am down and now... w/o me saying, he knows too! Guess, this comes from being dating for 7++ years and then of course, being the "chosen half" from divine powers...

Back to work tml...

After such a long long break, finally tml is back to work. Do I sound excited that I'm gng back? Well, yes and no, I guess. After such a long time of lazing arnd and doing nothing, now to go back to work is quite of a 'refreshing' change. But think of gng back to work, also v sian.. Coz I know that now is the time for slogging and to prepare n prepare for the OH!!

Really thank God that i have a good boss, during my 2 wks of pox days, they covered my work w/o complains... But even if they complain also no use lar.. I down wif pox, really cannot go out mar... then after my pox, straight away honeymoon... heng this period is all the events finished liao if not cannot go for honeymoon in peace.. hahahaha

But now... I am nuanning at home... last day for this long long period liao. Tml is back to work. Got to plan plan how to go about doing the morning bit.. Coz I take a long time, n now need to prepare hubby's bf as well, got to fast leg fast hand liao.. If not sure v v late. Sme mre now hubby changed job go to work later also. So means that the bf time all push back.. really got to fast fast fast!!!

But the heng part is hubby come hm late, then plus his long travel distance, still allow me to come hm n prepare him dinner. I'm quite proud of myself lar.. can make him sastisfactory meals. Ov the weekend when we went back to my parents' hm, my mum commented tat he put on weight... So i tease him n say that my food nice so he eats alot.. hahahahaha

Back in SG!!

Whew... after a wk, I'm back in SG!!! Home sweet home!!! Actually was back last nite. But after packing up, putting away and sorting away the things, vaccumm the floor, change bedsheets, wash the sofa cushions, was simply too tired to blog anymore.. So today then blog..

BKK is a hot hot hot plc. Rather like SG i say, though it's dustier, dirtier, not as organised but the things there are cheaper. I won't say v much cheaper than SG. Rather, sme things are cheaper in BKK than in SG. Lingerie by my fav brand, wacoal is definately cheaper!! I bought so many there, a total of 11 bras n 4 panties, costs me less than $200 SDG!!! Where to get for this kind of price in SG?? Bought a couple of T-shirts as well, not v cheap lar... abt $9 each... SG also can get lor.. at pasar malam. But since I am there, so bought a few to "yi si yi si" come back.. hahahaha.. Of course also bought sme things back to distribute to friends n family.. but haven't got rnd to doing it yet.. slowly lar.. too tired to move.

For our 6D5N there, we spent a total of $600 SDG in cash, then also swipe card a fair bit, think we spent close to $1K there... n plus the travel agency... think close to $1.8K in total for the whole trip.. wah lau.. where got cheap?? Expensive leh.

Then the whole of today is spent in CTK, coz we got to do our props for the fun fair on 20 Nov... tiring leh.. haven't had a good slp n early morning got to go CTK liao. Thank God, at least all the props are done, NO need to go back next Sat to continue. Anyway, nt Sat I also not free, my forum friends are coming to my plc for dinner. We completed making all the props at abt 3.30 pm and a bright spark of Godma brought us to Helen's shop in AMK (free ride from Paul) for a haircut... we cut our hair so short that by the time hubby and me got back to CTK for evening mass, ppl who saw us got a shock coz in the morning, we had long hair, in the absence of 2 hours... we changed our hairstyle so totally!! hahahaha But i like my new hairstyle... cool n light!!

N the best part is, tml NO BOW as well!!! Yippee... means we can slp till we naturally wake up... hahahahaha

Hubby is putting all the clothes (that we wore in BKK) into the washer. I must say I hv a good hubby man.... he does the laundry w/o complains!!! I simple hate to wash clothes!

Tml is parents' visiting day.. haven't gone hm for abt 2 wks.. coz of my pox n honeymoon, tml, will be gng back to my parents' hse for lunch, will bring them the things that we bought for them in BKK n then off to PIL's hse for dinner, and same will happen lor, bring them the things that we bought for them. Heng... at least tml no need to go CTK.. n we no need to bring the things walk rnd.

Gng BKK!!! =)

Finally, finally the long long wait is over, we ARE gng to BKK tonite!!!

I'm getting excited.. =) first trip overseas as hubby's wife n first trip to BKK n also first tm take aeroplane leh.. so mountain turtle..

More or less finished packing, the rest of the things need me to bathe finish then can put inside suitcase... I still need to prepare dinner for us both before we can clean n close up the hse.. getting excited leh.. kekekekekeke

But the damper is that since I just recovered fm pox, so alot of things cannot eat lor... sian.. Looking forward to feasting 1.. but now cannot... so can only go n shop n rest n relax..

Now thinking if we brought enough baht to go there, if not enough then hee.. we brought along cards too.. can sign lor.. but spend so much... =( come back c the bill v sad. hahahaha best is can swipe n swipe n no need pay the bills!

Stupid!!!!

Went to RCIA... and no doupts my friends meant well, they all insists that I am not fully recovered yet. Like that how am I gng to go BKK on Sunday??

Also, the agency told us, our tickets are still not ready for collection as yet! So slow... but then again... coz I have not fully recovered, if the agency did not manage to give us the tickets, thenmayb we don't have to waste the $700++ that we paid??

My hope is like this.... not to waste the $$ that we paid... not a lot but still....

N tat silly father of mine, want to draw out the CPF $$ n go china wif the big woman's children!!! Of all ppl, go with them to China to "work"?? After the lesson, real live experience of 7th aunt, he not clever enough to c thru them??

Gosh!!! I'm so angry & worried right now!!!

It's Friday!!!

Yipee.. today is Friday... =( but the last day of my MC liao leh... sian..

I have decided that later, i will go to J8 to change the baht currency and then buy somethings that we need for the trip and then go for mass and then for RCIA.

Finally, finally I can step out of my blessed hse.. hai.. waited so long! But kind of sian now coz last day of MC, won't have this kind of chance where I can laze at home for 2 whole weeks to enjoy.

Come Sunday, we are gng to BKK for honeymoon, but this 1 also sian.. coz go there, so many things I cannot eat!! Argggg!!! Then the week after that, come back got to go back office to slog.. hai... so sian.. the thought of it bores me liao.

Tonite, there seems to be some meeting that we need to meet up with the groups for our fun fair during CKT Feast Day on 20 Nov... So before I even slog at work, work for church 1st... but this 1 is not really work... this 1 is fun.. hahahahaha

Feeling good!!!

Woah.... I called the doc earlier today.. and good news!! She told me as long as my pox all dried up then I am considered as recovered fm the blessed pox!!! Yipee.... All my pox dried up.. but the scabs still there.. not all drop.. sian... But well, better than nothing lor..

Went to PIL's plc for dinner, been a long time since we went there for dinner. The feeling to be able to eat a decent meal feels so good!!! But the feeling to be able to step out of the hse to go out is the best!!!

In the afternoon, I went back to my parent's plc to pick up something n then showed them the AD photos.. Mum din say much just look and told me to develope some shots.. Then I just sat in the kitchen n talked to her while she prepares dinner. I realise, it's been a long time since I last did that. Kind of miss her.. hahahahaha.. But the thing is during n before the wedding, I certainly did not miss her at all!!

Dinner at in law's plc is good.. had fish n veg.. I've been dying for GREEN veg... n good! MIL cooked it... i really enjoyed dinner... must be coz i've been deprived for so long! While we were eating dinner, they were looking thru the photos... After dinner, I sat down wif them and we were looking thru it while they told me which pc they want.

I really enjoy talking to them... either I am hungry for human conservations or I am too bored or I really just enjoy it... hahahahaha...

Hm... In a way, PIL are quite warm ppl.. I used to find FIL v luo suo.. but after wedding... mayb now coz i'm 50% family.. so I no choice.. got to treat them better? All these while, I do like talking to FIL just that he likes to talk while there are interesting programmes on TV. hahaha.. I feel the family warmth when I go there.. in fact more than my own family..

I only pray and hope that this kind fo relationship will not change! And if there are changes, change for the better!!! =)

How then considered as RECOVERED?!!!

Arggg....

I'm getting so confused!! One tells me that I have recovered, another tells me not! So have I recovered from the blessed chicken POX???!!!

I'm not just getting bored being cooped up at home, I am also worried about my BKK trip this Sunday!!!! If haven't recovered how am I gng to go there?!!!

Further more, I also need to go n get things for the trip. Argggggg!!!!!!!

Was supposed to go to PIL's plc for dinner tonite.. then my mother says I have not recovered, I am NOT supposed to go anywhere!!! How???

I need to be fully, yes, FULLY recovered by Sun so I can take the plane to go BKK!!!!!!!!!

Sian!!!

Wondering what to do for dinner tonite... I seem to have finished all the simple dishes things that I know how to make or rather whipped up.

Left with some pork & fish in the fridge... had fish yesterday and don't feel like having it again..

Don't know what to make, now then I realised planning what to make for dinner is so headache!! hai...

Last nite, had a small tiff wif hubby... not the 1st neither will it be the last lor... the tiff last nite was abt him refusing to go n get things for the hse... hai... I wanted him to get bread, milk n sme other things for me coz me still down with pox din want to go out though I desprately want to go n get some air.... in the end coz he refuse to go... i went lor...

The moment my mother saw me in the bakery shop.. she was stunned coz she said i haven't receover cannot go out.. but hai.. it's so boring being locked up at home with only the TV, radio, books n PC for company leh..

Later at nite, as we settled to go to bed, hubby told me, he wanted to go n get the things but I was faster so he din go.. n he said he wanted to go with me since I had expressed interest in gng out since Sun but at the last moment I always change my mind, he was upset so he just decided to stay at home till after 10 to go n get the stuff..

All in all... everything is ok now.. but I got to admit i was still abit pissed at him this morning, so i din really put in heart n soul n effort in getting him to wake up nor bf this morning... an eye for an eye mar.. but I know this is not the way lar.. after all, it is such a small problem.. wrong, not a problem, but "Issue".

So must make up to him tonite lor.. go n make sme nice dinner for him.. hahahahaha

Monday Nite

So fast, is the end of today liao...

Just now cooked dinner.. I think quite successful leh.. hubby came hm just before 7 pm and I have all the things ready. He came to the kitchen and he commented, wah, smells v nice. I so happy to hear it!!

But the most impt is for him to try lar.. he tried and he say nice. Good good!! I'm feeling so happy, accompolished and proud of myself! Hahahahaa.. looks like the items that we bought are not wasted after all.

I was abit concerned that the pots, the oven toaster that we bought will be white elephants.. But all came to good use during this period coz i'm hse bound. At least the toaster is not just for me to toast bread.. hahahaha

I can actually use it to bake!! So happy...

These few days really gave me encouragment and motivation to make mre nice things for hubby to eat... coz he say my things can pass... makes me feel mre and mre to want to cook for him.. gosh... am I begining to be a "huang nian po"?? Or is this a normal for a woman to want to cook for her man? Hm...

Monday...

It's Monday today.. though I am still on MC and will continue to be till this Friday... I'm begining to feel sian le.. not coz I am stuck at home.. But coz when I think that my MC is coming to and end and I have to go back to work... hai... sian liao lor..

I think I am too lazy for words!! R&R at home for so long, and this Sunday gng for honeymoon. Which means I won't even go back to office for another 2 weeks and here I am worrying about gng back to work?! I got to be out of my mind!!

I can't believe this, I am 'resting' at home and I can still suffer from Monday Blues.. Gosh!!!

Hubby started work at his new co today but today is still training at Boon Lay.. darn far... I wonder how's his training coming.. will ask him tonite when we hv our dinner together =)

I think the most productive thing I ever do for the whole MC period is to prepare his breakfast & his dinner... I think for a short time, still quite ok and enjoyable to a certain extent. If I got to do this for life, stay home the whole day and do nothing, I will be bored to death! But of course if I am tai tai, can enjoy life, then staying at home also not a bad idea lor.. Now is, I am hse bound, no $ so definately NOT a tai tai so life not enjoyable.. hahahahaha..

hai.. almost time for me to go n prepare his dinner le.. got to marrinate the meat n prepare the things 1st..

Good dinner!!

Wah!!! I think I am not such a hopless cook after all.. hahahahahahaha.. Though I cannot cook a fanastic meal, but hubby say nice... so happy leh.. hahahaha

Coz hubby bought the wrong kind of pasta sauce back, I was so worried that I can't make a decent meal out of it... but whew.... luckily hubby say nice!

These last few days that I MC at home, I have cooked more times than I can ever imagine in my entire life! I can now made porridge, steam fish, boil carrot with potatoe soup, pasta, cook rice etc... all these sounds v simple, I know. In fact, it IS simple. But to me, I think it is an improvment coz from nothing of cooking, I can at least feed hubby with a full meal.. so I am quite proud of myself lor.. =P

Tomorrow, I'm gonna make baked chicken and potatoe salad for dinner for us both. Not sure if it's gonna be enough... but I think I may make 1 more dish. A small piece of chicken and potatoe salad for us both don't seem enough for us both =S

Today, our AD photographer gave us back our photos together with the album and the CD's with all our photos.. some of the photos quite swt and do capture "the" moment i feel. =)
Here's sme photos for viewing pleasure... these are some of my favourite. =)

sad sad sad

Hai.. the big black scar that I have been trying so hard to not touch and to let it come off by itself, peeled off while I was changing my clothes!!!

Argg... it hurts when the mark came off... I dare not touch all those marks on my face coz I've already peeled it a couple of times coz I din know it was pox. I really thought it was pimple so I went to squeeze n peel.. Now.. the whole thing came off!!! It still hurts... =(

Hubby has gone to get sme ingredients for dinner... We'll be making pasta. We wanted to go out and get it together.. But just as I was getting ready to take my bath, I tored the thing. Now no mood to go n get anything, coz I din want any1 to c my big scar... n I'm also afraid of gng out n the dust settle on the open wound and make it worse..

Hai.. just as we agree that today we will go out... this thing happen... Maybe, it is just as well coz I wont be able to go out and infect others then.. hai... =(

Yummy yummy!!!

Wah... after so long, finally can eat CHICKEN!!! hahahahaha.. actually the doc did tell me can eat chicken lar, but my mum say CANNOT eat.. n when she does marketing for me, she din buy chicken so cannot eat lor.. hai.. just as well lar..

My mother today so swt.. she stir fry chicken with giner in wine, fry sme veg & made my fav soup - Corn soup then call us and ask hubby to walk over to bring the dishes over for our meals. So all I need to do is just cook rice and we can have our meals. She gave us enough for lunch and dinner!! At first, she say enough for us for our dinner tonite.. But when I look at it, i think enough for us both for lunch and maybe dinner. Then hubby says he want to go back hm for dinner coz have not been hm to c c PIL.. So just nice, we ate lunch together and I saved sme of the food for dinner. Just nice =)

Now, I'm alone at home again.. not complaing coz I hv the PC all to myself and no 1 to disturb me.. hahahahahaha.. It's good that hubby goes hm to hv dinner and spend sme time with PIL... coz this yr, his bday, we din go back... BIL sms him n ask y no go back.. quite ashamed also.. hee..

Actually, I quite enjoy gng to PIL's hse for dinner, for 1 thing, I no need cook, another thing, I don't need to wash up. Lastly, FIL will have lots of things to chat with me =) He called me yesterday afternoon to ask me how I am also, this FIL of mine is I must say sweet!

Went thru the net to try to find something which is easy for me to manage and to feed hubby come tml or Monday... feeding him is not tough.. coz he is not that fussy a eater.. But to provide him with variety (this is me, not him) is proving rather hard.. coz I can only manage that few things... hai.. must buck up more to make him some nice food. =)

I'm begining to understand what Godma meant when U c ur family eating & enjoying the food that is prepared for them... though I can't really say hubby "enjoying" the food... but at least I am trying.. n hopefully, I should be able to provide him with better tasting food in future lor... hahahahahaha =P

scars!!!

Since yesterday my pox seems to be drying up and some of the scars have already fallen off.

I have taken on this unfortunate habbit of peeling off the dark n hard marks left behind by the poxes. I still quite vain so I did not touch those that's on my body nor on my face. It's those on my scalp that I am peeling off.

I cannot stand it esp when i run my fingers thru my hair, I find all those dried up things on my head... i've started to peel it off.. there are sme which are big n painful but I still peel.. itchy fingers tat's y!! I just hope, i do not make the situation worse by making it get infectious... The vain me told myself tat I must stop.. but the scars are making me irriated n itchy as well... argg...

Hubby told me those that are easy to come off probably wont leave much scarring but those big, black ones, he told me to leave it alone coz it may bleed... But my itchy hands... I think I hv just peel off ALL!!! I know i'm gng to hv an ugly scalp after this but I still cannot help myself from peeling... =(

This evening, out of a sudden, hubby called to say that he will come home for dinner. This gave me a shock coz I was not prepared to cook dinner for him. Thinking that he will go to the coffee shop near CTK to hv his dinner.. Hai.. so out of the blue, I got to cook him something.. Thank God, last nite, Trina thought me a simple dish. Toufu with minced meat. So I got hubby to go n buy toufu, soya sauce, seasme oil and I made him that for dinner. I also tried my hands at steaming fish today.. Not tat bad. I think can pass, but must remember not to steam it for so long the next time. The meat abit hard... Luckily, still hv soup from the last few days.. so heat up the soup, made the toufu minced meat and fried an egg for hubby... Fish is for myself lar coz I got to avoid so many things.. But I did share with hubby lor..

Hubby says ok, can pass.. so not tat bad after all lar.. I thought I will be hopless with cooking, but seems like I can make simple dishes after all... hahahahaha

Next time, I will try to make the mushroom, fishball with chicken soup for him.. as for dishes wise, I will go n find out some more simple, no frills, no fancy dish for him. =)

Sounds like cooking not tat hard after all, coz now, we only use steaming... coz if use fry or anything else, too much oil... lazy to clean mar... must go n learn to do sme more variety. Hubby says now he eat dinner... reason for not finishing the food is not coz not nice, is coz too much.. hahahahahaha.. of course lor.. coz now all the dishes he got to finish by himself, I cannot eat mar... but once I have recover fm this pox, we will be sharing the portion then it will be better lar, he will not have to finish all by himself. =)

Now, what worries me most is the scarring n worse... if hubby catches the pox from me means we cannot go honeymoon already!!! =(

Alone @ home..

Hubby gone off to work the usual time today.. but till now he is not back yet coz after work he went to his new office for orientation.

I think it is good that the new co has orientation at least this will let the new staff feel mre comfortable in the new environment. Last night, he told me, should not be more than 30 mins for the orientation, I told him it will take at least an hour and he don't believe me.. =P In actual fact, it took an hour and a half to complete the orientation! hahahahahaaha

Think he should be on his way home now also think he's on his way to get us some food for tomorrow and the new few days, the dry food all eaten up need to replenish.

Sometimes I wonder if hubby ever feels tat it is better for him to go hm n eat dinner coz of the food tat I "create" really don't seem very appealing... hahahahaha... but then I guess, since he married me, he does not have much of a choice.... he got to learn to eat what I make... hm... no wonder he look so happy last night.. when he told me he will eat dinner out.. hahahahaha

He's back home now! Just stepped in =)

Diaster dinner?? =(

Today was my first time in making a full meal for hubby... hai.. so disappointed.. the egg n pork din turn out the way I expected n for some strange reason, the white rice turnned out to be porrodge!!!

So disappointed... hai.. after so many days of cooking OK rice, today the rice turn to porridge!!! So sad.. hai... I think the food is terriable lar.. fm the look on hubby's face as he ate it.. v sad. I also make soup... this is relatively easy, just cut up the potatoes, carrots & onions,throw it into the pot add water n put to boil together with the chicken breast meat. Tat's it! At least, this one turn out the way it is supposed to be and hubby say not bad. =)

I wanted to make fried egg with onions n pork.. hai.... turns out I seem to just be frying the pork n onions with egg... Next time, I must remember to fry the pork AND onions together before adding the egg!! I think this is still passable...

The worse is the rice! for the last few days, I had no problems with it, but today, the rice turned to porridge! Hubby don't like to eat porridge and I think this is the worse thing. Hai..

I think I getting quite good at making porridge leh.. I hv been having porridge for dinner since last week, no wonder my porridge skills getting better lor... But I AM SICK of eating porridge!!!

What shall I make for dinner??

Hm.. ran out of things to cook my porridge... wondering what can I have for dinner... I'm getting so sick of eating pork, pork & mre pork!! I want to eat sme veg!!!

Have sms hubby to ask him to buy potatoes and carrots when he comes back fm work later. I was thinking I can use these 2 veg for my porridge and I can use the potatoe to make a salad for hubby. Add on a soup (instant kind lar) + a tuna sandwich, think that should be able to satsify his stomach?? Anyway, I at times only take a tuna sandwich in office during lunch when I don't feel like eating too heavy... I don't think the sandwich alone is enough for hubby but add on to a potatoe salad n soup.. shd be ok ba...

Anyway, there are still bread, biscuits n milk at home shd he feel hungry later at night... most importantly, coffee shop is just downstairs, he can go n get something easily too!

Ok! Settled! Potatoe & Carrot porridge for myself while Potatoe salad, Tuna sandwich & Mushroom soup for hubby tonite. At least is something different from the rice n hotdog everyday lar.

4th day into poxy..

Monday! For the longest time ever, this is the 1st time that I do not have Monday Blues =) Y? Coz I'm still on MC!! hahahahahah... fm the pox pox... hai... actually I think it's not so bad coz I think the pox-es are done growing, so now, they are either turning into bubbles or if not into pus... hubby says the condition has worsen coz of the pus... but I am not sure. Coz my in-laws came ov to our hse last nite. (They are so swt!! MIL actually cook porridge and bring over for us for dinner!)

On seeing me, she only says, hm... shd be recovering and reminded me not to scratch it and she says I do not seem to have as many pox as hubby when he got it. She did not mention abt the pus so I guess, it's normal... They stayed quite a while here so we just chat n watch TV while they do the OTO massage... They seemed surprised that we have this machine... hm.....

Anyway, my mother came over this morning, bringing with her, the water chestnut n sugar cane for me to make "liang teh" I seem to be drowing myself in "liang teh" n "coconut" drinks. I usually boil 1 big pot of the "liang teh" everyday and eat 2 coconut in a day!! My goodness... think the chicky pox is really a "heaty" affair coz i need soooo much "cooling" food!! But I do enjoy eating the coconut.. cold n nice! Yummy yummy!!

Towards the afternoon, colleagues start calling up to ask me abt work, I'm not surprised and neither am I irriated abt it. If they don't call, I will be worried! Coz I'm leaving behind 2 solid weeks of programmes which starts tomorrow for them to handle whille all these while, I have been doing everything. If no one calls me, i will think that either my role at work is can be dealt away with or they are v v good, which also brings back to the issue that I can be dealt away with! So overall, I am v v happy that they called and need my inputs here and there! kekekeke.. guess.. I am still abit important? ;P

These few days at home has settled into a sort of routine in a way... morning wake up, prepare hubby's bf (yar, even though i am dw wif pox!! Good wifey huh? hahahaha) then will sit wif him as he eats n the he goes off, while I will go back to bed n snooze for a while mre coz most of the time I have problems sleeping at nite.. I hope it was because for the last few nights the pox were really really giving me problems. (There was 1 night, I woke up at 2 am and can't slp till 10+pm the next day!!)

I will wake up later in the morning then eat my bf and just laze arnd the hse n do sme light cleaning... dun want to do anything too much coz afraid that I may burst the pox by accident, so will just watch TV, read books n generally laze. Can't even surf net in the afternoon coz we have yet to apply for our access and we can do so now is coz we tap others'... =P

By evening, after hubby comes hm will also be time to prepare simple dinner, dinner for me is just porridge... think I am getting the hang of making porridge.. the way I like it! The thick, gluey kind... hahahahaha.. dinner for hubby is just rice.. n he will buy sme dishes fm food stores n eat.. though for the last 2 days, he is living on hotdogs... must get him to change.. too much sodium those hotdogs.

Kind of loose track which day is which, today feels like a week end except that no hubby arnd with me... N i spend the time same as the way I spend the wk ends. Kind of getting bored with life liao.. but still no choice coz the pox are there and I am contagious, I simply CANNOT go anywhere!! =(

My MC will be till 28 Oct, that will be the day where I can officially step out of the house and am not contagious anymore... but then again, how is any1 gng to define if I am still contagious?! hm.... anyway... my MC ends on 28 Oct and I leaving SG on 30 Oct.. I really cannot wait for the MC to end.. hai..

dou dou here, there, EVERYWHERE!!!

lMy goodness!!! My whole body is covered wif dou dou now! Includes my face, on my lips, my scalp, my body, my hands n even my butt!!! Argg.. it's getting itchy as well!

CANNOT scratch coz will leave scars.. But easy to say lor... hai... it was still bearable earlier but when the sky turned dark n rained, the itch got so bad.. I am like moving arnd on my butt to ease the itch coz i cannot scratch!

Today is only the 1st day, I think there will be more of such dou dous popping out over the next few days... or it not then the current dou dous will all turn into something wif liquid inside.. still cannot squeeze coz it will burst n leave a scar.. Argg..

At least, it's not dengue, at least i got a 15 day MC, at least I don't hv to work my butt off for the programmes coming up? So i guess, to exchange for all these is kind of worth it? Only thing I din bargain for is, I got to cook my own "liang teh", my own meals! I was thinking since my mother so near, she may be offering to cook for me.. hai... I thought wrongly then.

But she was quite swt lar, she bought the ingriedents for me to cook.. coz I am being quartine at hm.

still on MC..

Still on MC for today.. Woke up with an even higher temperature than I went to bed with.. hai.. immediately took med, fix bf for hubby, sat with him while he ate n then I crawled back to bed.

Surprisingly, I still know the meaning of hungry, will wake up to find food... goes to show tat I am not as sick as I thought I will be lar. But too bad, nothing much at home to eat, just ate sme biscuits n slp sme mre.. then after tat ate maggie mee n slp again.

Got a few sms fm colleagues asking how I am.. also got a few calls abt work related issues. Think tml i go back office will peng san there liao..

I certainly pray that those teachers who registered their students for the program will remember.. I think tml whole day I will be sending emails to cfm their registration. Pray that it is not too late n that they think since we not response, they cancel. If they really do that, think my head will roll!!!

All righty, to calm myself down, here's the lists of things that I need to do for tml.
1) To send all confirmation & rejection notes to schools - Discovery (only left with schools taking BM programes lar, the rest I sent on Tues. Hengzzz...)
2) To send all confirmation & rejection notes to schools - EW
3) PR for extra refreshment - both Discovery & EW
4) PR for polo-tees
5) Order refreshment
6) Cfm the attendance for BP
7) Cfm schedule for FTP

think.. tat's abt it for tml... now that I hv listed it out.. it does not seem as daunting as it was a few mins ago..

*whew*

sick also cannot rest in peace... =(

fever...

Oh dear! Oh dear!

I woke up with a temperature of 37.8 degrees! (I have a habbit of taking temperature every morning coz of NFP)

Last nite, my temperature was at 38.2 degrees! I went to bed aching n sweating.. so hot! Told hubby I think I am having fever, but he say no... then i took a thermometer n stick it under my tongue then he believes me! Hmph...

Today, i went to c doc. Coz of no infection, sore throat etc, doc suspect it may be dengue... Oh dear.... given me 2 days MC.. chiam.. I still hv letterts to be sent to the schools which I have not manage to finish yest! Die lar... By the time I go back to office, it's Fri and I really must call the school to confirm before I send them any notes... die! Die!

So many things to do n so little time to do it! This letters are just for the "Discovery" programmes.. still have the "EW" programmes to be sent out as well.... I really hope that there will not be any cock up. If not, my head will roll!!!

Doc says since she cannot be sure if it's dengue till later (coz the sympthoms will only appear later) she told me to hv plenty of rest, drink lots of water n meanwhile, she will treat my fever n gastric flu like normal virus)

Came back slightly after noon, n sleep till abt 4 pm. Now i feel better. Just that body is still aching n stomach still don't feel too well.

Hai... pray for the best then. Nothing I can do except to listen to the doc, to drink lots of fluid n hv pently of rest n pray hard about it!

Tired Tuesday..

Oh gosh... I'm tired tired tired... early moring there was a long long long meeting abt the upcoming event. Then a lunch n then another long meeting with some outside staff about the programmes that we are offering. Hengzz.. I manage to wriggle myself out of this meeting! If not, I wont be able to go hm at 6 pm tonite!

Have finally manage to send out infor to most of the participants for 1 of the porgram. N it took me half the afternoon to get it done, I still hv 2 mre participants to send to.. hai...

After this, tml I have another full programme to be sent out to other participants. My days n nights are so full. I'm so tired!

I NEED A BREAK!!!

Darling's Bday today

Today is hubby's 26th Bday. =)

Din really hv a chance to celebrate leh.. coz both of us are lazy bums, supposed to go to church at 9.45 am for mass but coz it was raining we decided to go back n slp n then go mass for the last mass which is 5.30 pm.

Then we finally dragged our body out of the comfy bed n started to clean the hse abit.. really is just ABIT.. hai.. really don't like to do all these hse work! But now is NO CHOICE coz my own hse got to do lor if not who do for me?! Hai... then before we know it, got to rush out liao coz we hv a meeting wif sme church friends for the childrens' "party" during the feast day on 20 Nov.

Meeting was rather interesting generated sme ideas n then hubby n me rushed off for lunch n then back hm to clean up the hse sme mre n then go mass...

After mass, we went to J8 n had dinner at Cartel... good food now still v full.. hahahahaaha..

Better go off liao. Hubby keeps walking up to behind me n says today is his bday n left with 20 mins... hahahahahaha...

spent alot of $$ =S

After all the AP's & Vouchers have been counted. We decided to use the well wishers gifts to get something for our home. After all, we do need the items, it's just a matter of time b4 we get it anywhere. Since we are able to get it now then might as well get it now, especially when there are sales gng on =)

Hubby & I are such lazy bums... we said that today we will get out of the hse as early as we can n tat is after 12!! We simply just wake up n do nothing, laze arnd n then finally decided to shift our butts out of the hse!

We took a bus to Orchard and our 1st stop was Tangs coz we had a $30 voucher to spend. Bought a Tefal pan n accessory and being happy wif our purchase, we moved on to Taka.

I already know what I want to get, so the moment we hit Taka, we immediately went to the kitchen ware section n look for the WMF pots where it's being sold at $100 for 4 pots. Great deal! Especially since we need to hv pots and they are being sold at $100 for 4 different sizes. Also bought the Cornell oven toaster, rice cooker n hot pot... yeah! Finally our hse mre self sufficient can at least cook an egg! Now Godma cannot say my hse nothing liao. Being the proud owner of sme pots n pan does make me feel happy. Hahahahaaha.. Let's hope that I can do justice to the pots n pan n make them do their respective share of the work! hahahahaha.. but I can only get to c them on Sat afternoon, coz the delivery is only scheduled to be delievered then. N the VERY first thing I am gng to "kai chang" wif is the nasir lemak rice that hubby is SUPPOSED to contribute for the RCIA canteen on 16 Oct. Makes me a good wifey hor, cook his share of food leh!! =) But hor... I hv simply no idea what my grp is doing for the canteen!!!! Die!! =(

Then after spending a couple of hundreds there, still in an all time high after a woman spends $$$... we went for mre shopping at John Little... this time just bought sme dental needs for ourselves... (paid fully by vouchers too!!)

Finally went to HN, we wanted to buy a vacumm cleaner, a standing fan n maybe side table for the hse... look c look c..... finally decided on the Deyson cleaner... wah lau... the most expensive of ALL the purchase!!! Stupid cleaner costs us $400++ even after paying with vouchers n the sales mgr refused to give us mre discounts even though we pay so much!! Humph.... refuse to buy the fan from them. Will go to courts where they charge us $10 cheaper! hahahahaha... darn cheapskate... Delivery will be on Tues evening.. so may miss OGF then.. c how... actually we over spend for the vacumm... we hv no intentions of spending so much of such a machine but after comparsions.. still think it is worth the $$ so we went ahead.

Thank God for the generousity of our friends n relatives.. if not we will never be able to buy all these items!

We finally bought the jigsaw frame (yups, after so darn long) n now the puzzle is hanging on the wall... too bad the nail is a nailed abit too low.... puzzle does not hv the full glory it's supposed to receive.. so sad... will try to renail the nail so that we can shift the position of the puzzle!

All in all, was a good day, bought almost all we need save for the standing fan with a total of $600+++... happy but tired now.. hahahaha..

better go bathe so tat i can still go bed early n tml hv to go for morning mass... =)

oh... tml or rather is hubby's bday liao... haven't got him anything.. coz no time n also don't know wat to get him... buy him a good dinner later then! =)

I'm being bugged!

Argg...

There are bloggers out there who are bugging me.... left me comments promoting their whatever products!

Hai.. got to disable the "allow comments" on posts now.. if it dosen't work then I'll remove the link. =(

post wedding blues...

I think I may suffering from a bout of "post wedding blues" after so many mths of staying soooo bz wif wedding n hse preps, the lazy & relaxing evenings seems to mke me uncomfortable.

Keeps wishing that there is something to do, for us to c to. Of course I am glad that all the things fall into place and worked out well. But now that I am so free in the evenings, kind of don't know what to do to my life. Esp now tat wif hubby at my side every single evening, really time seems too much. hahahahahaha.. coz I can't cook so we go to parents' plc for dinner but tat's it. After tat we go home n laze in front of the google box doing nothing. Quite a waste of time mar.

So last nite was my 1st attempt at washing clothes.. turns out to be a diaster.. hahahaha.. I really am not sure how much detergent to use, the water level or if the "load" is full. Worse, hubby keeps getting into my way n I snapped at him... dear dear.... 5 days into the marriage & I'm snapping at him.. chiam.. got to keep my temper under ctrl man..

Now that we are married, there's so many things that I cannot do at my whim and fancy anymore.. like earlier today, BIL gave me quite a scare. He called hubby to tell him that they (MIL + 2 BIL, FIL in Kuantan) will tapow n come to our plc to eat! Tonite of all nights!! I have kickboxing & I am looking foward to go for it coz missed last wk.. so I got to change my plans and cannot go kickboxing coz 1st visit by family, me as the wifey cannot, not be there right? So got to miss it.. n was frantically running thru the mess in the hse which I got to clear b4 they arrive... n Thank God, they say they decided to stay hm n eat.. hengz!!!

Aiyoh.. all these things add on to my bluies... not just I got to maintain n keep the hse, I got to take care of hubby n worse of all.... I also got to 'entertain' his family... hai.. I don't like all these but no choice... marriage is not just hubby n me.. but hubby, me, his family & my family. We got to work hard at it man..

Last nite coz of nothing to do... hubby took sme pics of our "bands of a lifetime" here's 2 pics.. I showed the pic to another friend n she commented tat mine's prettier.. but of course! Mine has a tiny stone set in it.. hahahahaha..
Our bands are White Gold, with Rose Gold at the rims and inside both rings, there's a blue saphire... think it goes very well with this for wedding...
Something new
Something old
Something borrowed
Soemthing blue...
this IS our bands (which we bought 1 day before the wedding and has something blue) =)

pretty, aren't they?can u c our names + date of wedding! =)

I'm MARRIED?!

woah... after months of preparations, excitment, worries, arguements and frustrastions... it's ALL over!

Just with the snap of my fingers, I'm now legally and spirtually and 100% married to hubby. The feeling is kind of hard to describe. On 1 hand, it's natural progression and on the other hand all these are over, leaving a bit of an empty feeling coz now our busy days of wedding prep are over we have more free time on our hand and we really can R&R.

Yesterday was a whirl of events, I cannot be sure if I have missed out anything neither can I remember much details. All I remember was that I can't get to slp the nite before, woke up at 6 am, nothing to eat at hm =( n then before I knew it, the MUA and VG came together. Started on my make up then PG came, PG & VG took shots and my parents did the shu tou halfway.

MUA actions v fast! Less than 1 hour, I am ready. Dressed in my gown and everything then my jie mei's came, they started the prep for the gatecrash, mre aunties came at the same time n time just fly by.. woah.. v v fast!

Then hubby and his brothers came, the 1st task was for them to shout out a mushy poem fm downstairs to my level making sure I can hear them.. the poem was so funny. Contributed by 1 of my jie mei - charm.. hahahahahha got time then i'll post it here.

The rest of wat happend i hv no idea coz i was locked in the rm.. I knew it when hubby manage to climb to my level but they were haggling for AP for so long!! I waited anxiously.. the longer the wait, the mre kan cheong I became.. argg...

Finally, hubby manage to satisfy the jie mei n he came to my rm.... finally can get to c him... he looks dashing in his suit. N he looks happy n excited too! =) Finally time for me to step out of my bedroom... =O 3 big cameras pointed at me.. I was so surprised! Coz i only know that we hv Paul & Elijah. Who is the 3rd?? It's a middle age man whom I cannot recongnise!

Then we went to my IL's plc for the jin cha and came back to my hse for the jin cha... so many ppl!! Wow... as though the whole clan of all our relatives came to this celebration!

After lunch at my parents, we flew back to our new hse to clean up. I took a bath n then wait for Lynn to come to doll me up again. This time i choose mre neutural shades for the church wedding.

Hubby left our hse at abt 1.15 pm wif the PGs & VG. He must go there earlier to receive the guests lor.. while I still take up own swt time to doll up.. hahahaha.. think my dad also kan cheong.. called me at 1.30 pm and ask me where I am how come havent gone to pick him up.. hahahahaha.. i though he was not really bothered by the whole wedding but in fact he was quite kan cheong too lar.. hahahahaha

reached the church at abt 1.45 pm. Woah!! So many ppl!!! The recept table was full of activity leh! Thank goodness for good friends whom helped me all the way!

As the mins ticked nearer n nearer to 2 pm.. my heart pound harder n harder n harder.. gosh.. so worried that I really will trip! Lynn came to the vestry to call me at 2 pm.... I was so kan cheong n excited n a whole lot of other feelings. As the music start, I walked in slowly. I can't smile!! I'm so nervous that I cannot smile, my face seems to be as though I am in a stroke, I cannot ctrl my face!!! Argg!!!! But still we walk dw the aisle.... slowly, steady and soon I am at hubby's side. Fr. Yim came into the church then with the 4 altar servers.. He looks good in red (the colour of celebration) chasuble. Walked ov to congraulate us and then took his seat at the altar.

I was so nervous, I cannot remember hearing the march in music neither did I notice the pews! OMG. Everything in the mass happens according to the mass booklet. After looking at it for mths, it's finally happening! Before I knew it, it was time for us to exchange our vows n then our rings... bands of a lifetime and the mass carries on.

But once seated down, i stole peaks at our guests, good can c that lots of the invited ppl are here. Though they did not really sit according to plan but hey, most of them are here! =)

Before I knew it, we are "Husband & Wife" and mass has ended... woah.. so fast for our march out. This time I'm still just as nervous and I still did not hear the march out song. (Again!)

The moment we reach the door we turned back to go to the altar for photos taking... so many grps of ppl and so many ppl!! Took sometime before we all finally settled down and capture shots of everyone!

Went down to the canteen (this is the part, that I am most fearful off!) woah!! Praise Lord, not as pack nor as crowded as we thought! Hengz... we mingled rnd abit, took mre photos stayed till 4.30 pm n then off we went back hm so we can bathe n change out for our dinner with our new families at noble hse later. Food was good, service is good too just v v slow!

It was a tiring day, definately, my jaws n face are numb fm smiling! Gosh... finally it's over!

I'm Married in the hse of God! =)

tml IS the day...

Tml is my big day... getting married to hubby liao... I really should be resting at home n prepare for the wedding.. but somehow, I have no wish to do that..

I hv heard ppl say that the day before a couple gets married, they are not supposed to meet. Coz "not good" what does the "not good" means, no 1 can tell us, so as usual, we ignore whatever things that we do not understand nor care about lor.. hahahahahahahaha

I'm gonna go do my nails n then meet hubby later to collect our rings and also to go back to robinsons to c if we want to buy mre of the comfy bedsheets.

My appt wif the nails palor is at 3 pm. I reached on time n wow.. so crowded... all of them also attending a wedding tml.. while I am gonna be the bride tml. Seems like tml is really a good day afterall.. wat's so good, nobody knows. I think it's mre like a peace of mind that all the ppl want to choose a so call "good" date. It's just another day and date isn't it? Anyway, whatever it is, things hv been fixed, so just go ahead..

I spent 2 hours at the nails palor... so long.. but thank God, coz of the long long long stay, I was able to dry my nails pretty well. When I left, i can feel tat my nails are really quite dry and not tat scared to move my fingers much.

Met hubby n off we went, back to LH this time to collect rings. So happy =) Since they are able to provide us with engraving services, we decided to put on hubby's name and date of our wedding on my ring n my name + wedding date on hubby's ring. Took them less than 30 mins to do so. But of course, we did not wait there for them, we went back to robinsons to look for bed linen. We found something that we want but too bad the depth is not deep enough. Our mattress is 14" but the mattress cover max is only 12" too bad for hubby then. He say our current cover is too rough for his delicate skin... haik haik haik....

After collecting rings n not managing to buy bed linen, we made our way dw to BC to collect the flowers. I like my bouquet! Green, white n yellow... supposed to be orange leh.. not sure y it is yellow rose buds now.. hai... whatever lar, but i like the combination. Nice nice.. I also like the corsages that is hubby's. Matches my hand bouquet. =) For the parents, then it is Orchids.

After collecting and all, we went hm by bus.. hubby still hv to go n collect car later this evening fm Mike. I went to our lovenest 1s to keep 1 of the corsages in the fridge so that it can be kept fresher. And after tat go hm to finally rest.

Must remember to sleep early for today, it not tml wake mre Panda eye....

BUY!!!

Finally! After deliberating for a full day and the whole of last nite, we decided to BUY!!! YIPEE!!!! We're gonna hv a new pair of wedding bands, bands that symbolises our love for each other, to be given to each other and no 1 else in marriage! =)

I'm a happy gal.. =D

Meet soon-to-be hubby at abt 2.30 at Bishan MRT then we were still thinking of buying or not buying.. went to different different LH to look c if there are other designs of bands. Went to different jewellery shops to look at designs as well but still the same pair cathes our eyes like none other does.

Decided to take a break fm all these ring ring issues, went shopping at Robinsons... we thought there shd not be anything tat we need or want to get.. who knows, we ended up spending another $70+ odd there. We really din buy much, just 2 sets of quilt covers to act as the sofa throw (yups... we are using quilt covers to protect our sofas), 2 bathmats and a set of pillowcases. Tat's all and it adds up to $70+!! Wow.. $$ really small these days.

But! still we cannot make up our minds.. so we went to look see sme mre.. compare some mre.. and went for a break. Went for tea at Mac. (Gulps... with the wedding so near, I shd not be eating all these!) Talked abt it some mre, worked out the budget some mre and still cannot decide. Hai... finally hubby thought of a superp n clever idea! He says, we will go to the shop n c if they hv the rings in our size. If they hv, good, then we buy, if they don't then it's just too bad. It sure beats us sitting down n mulling ov the buy or don't buy issue! hehehehehehe.. so clever.. n morever hubby added, if we never ask abt it, we will always hv this feeling of regret... how right he is... so we decided to do wat he suggested.

So off we trotted back to LH.. and we tested the rings for our size.. n yups!!! They hv our sizes but unfortuntely, it's at the main office, so we got to come down the next day to take it.. oh well.. we'll do that then.. hahahahaha.. I'm so happy wif our soon to be purchase.

After such a happy day, we went arnd shopping sme mre... we really should be resting at hm wif our wedding just 2 days away!!! But.. instead, we are out gallvatting on the streets! hahahahahahaha

After we went hm, we had dinner n then just as we were gng to lay the newly bought quilt covers on the sofa, a guy came and ask hubby to do sme safra survey.. so the men were there at the door talking and i busied myself with the quilt. The quilts are really good material leh!! 320 threadcount. Feels so smooth n cooling to the touch!

N best, it matches the colour of the sofa so well, one can misktake it tat it's part of the sofa! =)

to buy or not to buy??

Earlier today, I went for my monthly dosage for my skin aka facial lor.. was quite ok, nothing unusual about it. Just that i told Yi Wen not to do too much poking on my face... if not, later my skin alot of holes then on Sat cannot be mei mei de xin niang mar..

after the facial, they persuaded to me sign plan coz my original plan is only left with 1 mre session after today.. so talk n talk lor... worse is hubby was already at MRT stn waiting for me.. end up, hubby waited for me for mre than 45 mins!! Hengzzz.. he being the swt man he is, he only complain abit if it was me who got to wait for him for so long, he sure get hell fm me!! Took the shop n me 45 mins to settle all the bills n what nots... the stopid machine so long! Aiyoh.... in the end this 45 mins costs me $2070 for my next 49 sessions of facial.. I think it's not so much as the number of sessions. But rather if the products are good. After all these mths, I must say that my skin has improved lar. (It better be man, after spending another $1000 previously!) At least my marks are not so pronouced anymore. Skin texture feels better also lor.

After settling it, rushed to MRT stn to catch train to Bugis so we can go to BC to collect our gown. Actually it is rather early to collect the gown but no choice coordinator wont be in tml n if collect on Fri then it will be too late so collect today lor. V happy to c that i can comfortably zip into the dress. Thank God for that!!!

Wah biangz.. the gown n suit n the fathers' jackets are so heavy!!! Even just the short distance of lugging all these to the taxi stand, can feel our arms aching... i think ppl who work in BS must hv v strong arms!! hahahahahahaa

Rushed hm n then rushed out again, this time to meet the VG, Low. Spend a while chatting n then got down to biz. He took some of our photos and then he also chiao.. then we also chiao.. chiao to go n c ring ring.. Found something we do like.. a pair by Lee Hwa, Jorn Rainer series.. pretty pretty!! =)

The whole time i was doing my facial, i was contemplating if we shd get a brand new pair of rings for our wedding on Sat. Not that our current pair is not good lar.. Just tat, i feel we've been wearing it for so long. N I also feel tat the band is abit narrow for hubby. N also we hv wore it since 2000 maybe.. 5 years liao... Tat tm we bought it coz of budget, we were still students so not much $ and we just wanted a simple ring tat binds us together.. coz tat tm hubby also gng into NS soon.... Hm... really, man is nv satisfied by wat we hv.. the current pair serves it purpose beautifully and also it is something that will bind us togethere lor.. and it has also serve us thru our ROM.. Mayb it is a good idea tat we wear it for our wedding as well... coz of the 'history' n 'story' of our lives that we've been together ba.. but it is just this urge to owe a new pair of rings to symbolise our new lives together that seems to egg me on to buy a new pair.. hai..

we saw a pair tat's nice n rather unique.. but i do know tat the design has been arnd for some time lar... i use to not pay much attention to it.. but earlier when i saw it again, i fell in love with it!!! The size fits our fingers nicely too but rather pricy lor.. hai.. it's coz of all the installment tat we are paying tat's y we feel the pinch lar... but on normal occassions, the price for wedding bands is arnd tat range lor... in fact the pair we choose is of the lower range liao.. hai.. mine (opps... i said "mine"?! But we have not even got it!!) has got a tiny blink blink... hubby's (opps... i did it again) is in a matching design but w/o the blink blink..

Hai... so hard to decide... anyway, we said a prayer at our new hse with the plastics unwrapped of the crucufix (tat travelled all the way back from Philipines) for the 1st time.... Let God work his will on us ba... if He decides that I am being ridiculas or wasteful then we won't hv it... but if God allow us to hv this pair of rings, I'm sure we will get it before our wedding on Sat anyway.

Only thing left to do is teach this heart of mine n mind to follow what we said in the prayer!

Rehearsal...

Had our wedding rehearsal this evening... my dad drove me to CTK on his bike. I decided tat i hate ridding on bike.. the feeling is so scary!!!! The wind zipping thru me, my eyes, my face my body and i can feel every single bumb on the road. N when my dad turns, I'm so scared tat the bike will overturn!!!! GOsh.. the moment i got on it, i started praying.. my whole body was shaking wif every move n turn.. I was really frightened!!!

I was kind of worried that my dad will complain and say all sorts of things at first. But thank God. He did not. He was quite ready to do watever that was necessary. Cld b coz we are in His hse or coz my FFIL was there, or friends were there.. watever the reason, I'm just glad that all things worked out fine!

Clare and Cedric were the last to arrive coz these poor dears got school and then have a hurried dinner and quickly rush over to church just for my rehearsal. Lynn and Max were here as well together with our wedding buddy, Martin & Clare. Yups.. another Clare.. hahahahahaha

Martin and Clare were great, taught us how to walk, where to stand, where to sit etc etc and Clare also taught my dad what to do. I think my dad mayb abit uncomfortable at me holding him at first but when he saw how cute Cedric was, he kept on looking at him and smile.. kekekekekeke

I certainly hope so that my dad will loosen up when he sees that we start reproducing BB for him.. hahahahahaha.. most impt is that he must stop smoking lar.. if not how wld we bear and dare to bring our BB home... hm.... i definately dont want my BB to inhale the 2nd hand cigareto smoke...

Really thank goodness for good friends.. Lynn came to the rehearsal with us yest and she will be taking care of the AP, guest book, seating blah blah blah for us.. so much things to c to and to follow up on and to keep an eye on! Wah.. thank God, i HANDOVER everything to her. Left everything in capable hands. hope when her time is here, I will not disappoint her man..

Yest, after the rehearsal, the 2 fathers and us went to the coffeeshop for a drink.. wah.. these 2 fathers got so much things to say to each other.. good good.. hahahah.. at least i'm pretty sure that our Fathers are getting along well.. hahahahaha

after tat, my father drove me hm on his bike.. well the 2nd time tat i rode his bike on the same evening.. so not so scared as earlier.. but i still find myself praying and repeating, Pls God, Pls bless us and keep us safe. Wah.. really terriable feeling to ride bike.. wif the cars zoom zoom zoom pass... :S

Me... confirmed Catholic

Last evening during the 5.30 pm mass was our confirmation. =) After receiving this scarment, my RCIA - Exodus friends n I are now full fledged Catholics!! Yippee!!!

We had a great dinner after mass last nite in the canteen. Total number of ppl that stayed back for the dinner was about 110 on paper, then again, there may be a bit mre abit less lar.. what is on my mind is now, my wedding guest lists stands at 252 ppl... how to all squeeze into the canteen... good question.. but then again... there's nothing we can do unless we want to extend the tentage or something but that will costs mre.. so forget it lar... we just try to pack in as many ppl as possible lor.

This year seems to be a rather holy year for hubby n me.. early this year, we had our scarment of baptism then followed by scarment of eucharist, last evening is scarment of reconciliation n nt sat, will be scarment of holy matrimony! Wow wow... holy year for us... kekekekekekeke

This year is also full of changes, religiously, spirtually, work wise, family and also personal changes.. I certainly hope that I am changing for the better. Conversion of heart to become better. Just like the homily, Fr. Peter gave yesterday, to improve yourself. From a OK catholic to be a better catholic, from a good catholic to be an excellent one and from an excellent catholic to be like Christ, himself. I think I am still a long long n far far way from being Christlike. But we are created in his image.. so as long as I am alive, I shd strive to be like him every moment.

Countdown

The BIG countdown is on officially on! In fact, it started about 2 days ago..

I finally sent in our mass booklet for photocopying... I asked the shop to make a total of 225 sets for me.. not sure how much it's gonna costs, but this is something which can't be helped coz there's no big screen in the church, all my guests got to hv a copy of it so they can refer.

Finally this is done. With the printing of the mass booklet, it mre or less marks the end of the preparation for the church. Lynn, Carmen & Serene will help me with the actual doing of the church for my special day... of course we will involve the rest of my jie mei n hubby's siong di's to help also. I pray that they are willing to do so.. i get the feeling tat my wedding team esp sme of the jie mei n siong di like not v willing to help.. hai... Mayb like wat Lynn says, it is good lor coz then they won't saboh hubby too much during the gate crashing..

After the gathering on 3 Sep, they took so long b4 doing anything... hai... quite disappointed... but oh well...

These whole week has been mad hse for me!! There's so much work to be done at work that i am literally swarm!! I can hardly breadth... my goodness... i'm so tired.. n wif tiredness comes stress and then also comes in the lack of concentration for certain things at work..

Alone on Tuesday, the meeting that I arranged with an outside party n our directors cock up so badly. Hai.. nightmare. The meeting room that i booked was taken over by another party and we only realise it the day before, but i went hm already n boss was calling for me.. n then on the day of the meeting, the other party came 15 mins early while we are not ready for them coz we used another room to house them was still being used by some others... Argg.... it was panic, panic, panic!!!

Then coz of the programmes that we have lined up, registrations and calls kept coming in... I got to entertain them and worse... the co upgraded our email system and the stoopid email is soooooo slow!!! Argg... to swtich from 1 mail to another mail takes forever!!!!

N worse, there are sme teachers. Yup, TEACHERS!!! Who cannot read or understand simple english!!! ARGGGG!!!! Bug me for confirmation or replies throughout the day! To read her mail, takes me forever, to reply her mail, takes me enternaity n she wrote so many times!!!!

ARG!!!!! Wedding is not stressing me tat much.. but work is!!!

I shd be feeling happy... but y am I not??

Just completed my GDL today... so in my parents n relatives eyes now... I'm officially engaged to my hubby..

Early in the morning, hubby called and told me that they are coming. So i dragged myself out of bed and went to tell my mother that they are coming.. I really am not sure if my mother is "missing me" too much or if she's really too $ face or if satan is at work. No matter what i tell her, as long as it concerns the wedding n $, we are bound to end up in angry words. I tell myself that as a child of God, I must be patient and forgiving and understanding and kind etc etc.. but she is really driving me up the wall!!! I really am not sure if I can still take it in.

This morning just coz of early arrival of hubby, she gave me black face.. hai.. I'm so disappointed... this is suppose to be a happy occassion. Last nite was another example... hai... i just ask her hw much is she gonna take for the pin jin n she said, not up to me to know.. so i told her ok.. then i just want her to know tat FIL not working n he is paying for it. N off I went to bed. Mins later, she came n knock on my door n then reprimanded me saying, hw much do i ecpect her to take then?! My auntie took $3K! She? Cannot take ar? Wah lau... i was darn pissed n sad.... sad coz she is soooo insenstitive... can't she realise tat even though my FIL not working, he still give her wat she ask for? N my mother did not pay alot for my things... except buy those useless things such as the potty, bowls n dont know wat... n she told me, she spent a lot!!! Yar lor... alot... $500... while my PIL spent $5K!!!! Hai... i v disappointed n sad lar... but no use n no choice.. live with it.

For the last hm... at least 2 wks... on and off, I've been having arguements wif her all this while. I really don't think she is sad for me to leave the hse n get married. N at the rate our re-ship is gng, I hv no wish to stay here anyway. Whenever we argue, it's always $. Come on, I am now v v hard up for $$ as well. Can't she be mre senstitive towards me as well?? Must she always borrow $ n when I say no or don't hv, give me hell for it? I'm not marrying a rich man's son. Hubby and I barely make ends meet!!!

We try so hard to not cost our parents $ with our union but in my opinion, she always give me trouble....even my sis implies tat it's my fault!

I'm so sick of all these!!! I'm getting married. I shd be happy, my family members nevertheless shd be excited and happy for me as well. But sad to say... i feel that it's my fault for getting married!

Argggg!!!! GOD HELP ME!!!!!

a sad n disappointed n lonely me....

I'm Sick

Okie.. the flu bug has caught me, the cough bug has caught me too n my throat is slightly inflamed n as usual this leads to me having a super sexy voice for the next few days.. hai..

Feeling weak and hands are trembling coz of the med... gonna log off n koonz nw...

feeling under the weather

Sigh..... I think I am feeling under the weather.. have been having a sore throat since day before yesterday.. and today, my cough seems to hv gotton worse.. seems to be coughing mre often than usual.. and now, I am feeling that my nose is stuck.. guess it's signs that I am getting a cold / flu....

Oh dear.... with 3 weeks to my wedding, i better buck up and drink enough water n take enough supplements to help me along... =(

Must be coz for the last few weeks, I havent been resting my body enough.. coz i sleep so late and every evening is packed with something of some sort..

Tonite, hubby is gng to miss RCIA, he's gng to distribute wedding cards to his relatives with his older brother as well as his father. Leaving me alone in RCIA tonite and I got to do the 2nd rnd of distribution to the rest of our church friends.. I nv knew that we had so many church friends to invite till we actually give out the cards... *whew*

My mother is gng to distribute the cards to my side of the relatives after the "Guo Ta Li" no idea wat it is... though a literal translation wld probably mean, cross over the big ceremony.. hahahahahaha... but looking at the thigns n discussion, i guess it probably means something along the line where hubby's family bring some things over to my hse to 'show' to the world that they 'choop' me as their daughter in law?? hahahahahaha But so sad to be 'sold' with merely cakes, sme jewellery, canned pig trotters?! & towels isn't it??? hai.. Guess consider expensive liao coz if it was olden days, cld be worse!!

I'm tired.. but oh well... abt 20 mins mre to go n I'm off to get my hair dye then then to CTK. I completely forgot tat I'm suppose to highlight my hair wif Godma tml!! Shessh... N nw i got to rush to colour my whole head before gng to the salon tml afternoon..

which also reminds me.. the mattress guy haven't call me to tell me the time in which they will be delivering my mattress tml!!!

Distribution of cards

Finally, the time has come for us to distribute our wedding cards to our friends, colleagues n relatives...

With less than 3 weeks to the wedding, it's really time to do so.. So, last nite, hubby came to my hse and we rush work n project, writting in all the names and slotting into envelopes and sealing n writting of addresses... not to mention, we also called up a few of our friends to find out their addresses.. shesh..... boy, was I tired out after the whole thing! N just coz of this, I skipped my weekly kickboxing... no choice I guess, I was not feeling too well anyway.. so no harm done for missing kickboxing.

This moring, gosh.. i spent almost 2 hours distributing the cards to my colleagues!! Walk up and down, up and down, up and down trying to get as many ppl as I can. Oh well, must b, coz this wk is the school holidays, alot of the staff are on leave.. So i just leave it with another staff and get them to pass it on. No choice lar.. Now my office so far away, unlike last time where I can walk arnd n no 1 knows.

During lunch, older BIL came to office, coz he rented a car to help to distribute the cards to hubby's realatives tml, so he came n pick up the trolley to help us to shift hse this evening.. wow.. nice isn't it.. but he also quite cute... in the lift while we were coming down, he actually told me, don't saboh too much during the gatecrashing on our big day.. hahahahaha.. i told him, we'll c.. hahahahahaha

Finally, finished distributing to all the invited guests... i must say quite a lot of cards were distributed... now to wait for their RSVP. I have to say, my Dir is really 'hui juo ren' he called me in to see him and then he personally congratulated me and told me, he will be there.. wow... coming from a Dir, i must say i am really impress!

It's a few more mins to gng hm, but tonite, there's confirmation class and tat also means another rnd of distribution of cards. But this time to our church friends, RCIA Exodus 2005. =)

=(

Went down to BC a few nights ago to choose my tea dress... n horrrors of horrors!!! I put on weight AGAIN!!!!! *boo hoo hoo*

hai... i simply cannot understand Y i'm still putting on weight.. i've been eating healthy, exercise on a regular basis... like once a wk... even if i don't slim down, I shd at least be maintaining my weight isn't it?! Hai...

I don't believe it and I requested to try on my WG bearing in mind tat it fitted me to a 'T' a few mths ago coz I took PS in it... but yes!!! I fat liao!!! ARGG!!!!!

With the increase bulk in the middle, none of the tea dress looks nice on me.. or rather.. i look terriable in all the tea dress... hai.. so ended up taking KUA... well.. at least i console myself lar... KUA mre traditional, my parents will be happy... n it can go wif all the obiang jewellery tat they insists on getting... hai...

This gathering is also for them to get to know one another so that all things can go smoothly on the actual day. Looking forward to it.. hahahahahaha

Hm... wedding things are all settled save for my invitation cards.. we need to write in the names and then do the distribution.. n also mass booklet.. It's all done just doing proof reading now, shd not hv much big mistakes just small things here and there. With luck, I shd be able to print the booklets by mid of this mth!! Horray!!

I where got so free.. i din heed her advise as usual... we even went to place order for the Li Bings already.. Hai.. my mother hor... giving me headache.. we ordered already and now she say want sme mre... when she is already asking for 40 boxes!!!!

Traditional Cantonese Dragon & Phoenix set as my li bing =) Consisting of:

N she insists that she will only give the list of the 'she wants' to my FFIL after the 7th mth. But FFIL is kind of kan cheong n rushing me for it. He has already given us the list of what he wants.. hai.... so ban tang lei.. this mother of mine... hai... she ban tang to the extent of not even writting the names of the invite cards till after 7th mth!!
