A few days ago, we reecived the invitation to a wedding mass to be held in Church of Saint Francis Xaiver

Well, the wedding date is set on 3 June 2006, Sat morning. Personally, I don't really like the design of the card. Abit 'orbit' but then again, different couples will have different likings and preferences lor. THE wedding invite

Luckily, Debra said she will fetch us.. coz it's not convenient to get to SFX. =)

Kinda looking forward to the wedding, can c the 美美 bride and also meet up with a few of my RCIA mates. =)

And in the meantime, we are waiting for Lynn's invitation for her wedding.

Sunday, May 21

Lazy sunday..

Sunday! A day of relaxation and doing nothing. Usually, our Sundays are lazing in the living room in front of the google box after morning mass. But today, it's different! We spent the day here...

TCC @ Circular Road
Can you guess where it is?? For the answer, mouse over the pic. =)

Had a really good afternoon wif, Ee May, Zhen Ling, Xiao Ming and also hubby. We just had our lunch and also coffee and spent the day chatting away. Good, relaxing afternoon. And coz it is in the shenton district, it was not crowded but there was a enough ppl to fill up the place. Think we spent the longest time there among all the other ppl who were there.

Managed to take a few shots before the waiter came over and says that photography is prohibited coz of the art pieces there. Think the rest of the ppl who were wif me, must be thinking that I am sooo sua ku..taking photos here and there.. haha
But heck care leh.. nv come to TCC before ma.. haha
Hubby's, Xiao Ming and my drinks Partial delivery of our orders..

We were not even aware, but since I paid by citibank card, there were 15% off the total bill. Which means, no GST and no service charge lor. haha.. so very happy and coz the total bill was already more than $90, I was able to apply for the LIFETIME membership card. TCC membership card Doesn't look too bad, ya?

After a long long afternoon there, we decided to go to Bugis for shopping, I wanted to go to PS coz I was thinking of gng to U.R.S to get that pair of heels I saw last nite when we were out shopping. Then suddenly remembered, there's another branch in Bugis also, so we went there happily.. But I was so clever this morning, already borrowed the membership card fm Emma in mass so can get discount. :P

Then I also remembered there's a "Swank" in bugis, so poor hubby, kena dragged to U.R.S then Swank and back to U.R.S coz I cannot find anything at Swank. So still decided to get the original pair that I saw at U.R.S.. and basket!! I remembered the wrong price. Thought it was $36.90 and was thinking with the 20% off, it will be less than $30.. but shucks!! It was $39.90.. hai... so even after the discount, I still got to pay $34 for this pair of heels. I think it looks quite pretty. =) What do you think?

New arrival of U.R.S My brand new pink and white heels.

In addition to the heels which I bought coz of the following reasons...
1) to match the pink dress that I'm gonna wear to Lynn's wedding
2) to replace my white pair of heels.

I also bought another skirt. $19!! Cheap. But material is quite thin.. NOt as good as the 'Sugarlink' I bought 2 weeks ago in ISETAN, but not too bad also lar. another new skirton 2nd thouhts, it looks like PJ's.. hmmm.. =S

*Sigh* I went for a confession today. The priest was Fr Robert. I confessed that I had broken a promise that I swear to keep secret but I broke that promise and I also confessed that I loose my temper at hubby very often. I thought Fr will harp more on my breaking a promise.. but instead he talked to me more on loosing my temper at hubby and also told me to ctrl, ctrl and to have good talks wif him instead.

Maybe to me, the main reason of gng for the confession is coz that I broke the promise and not on the issue wif hubby.. So I was quite taken aback when Fr spent so much time on it.

Fr Robert is right, we got married in church and I should do what the bible says. To respect my spouse and also to love him, honour him and to be his aid.

God, please, please help me to do better than this.

We're gng on a Holiday =)

Ealier today, hubby and I went to PS, carefour hoping to get the $10 shoe rack. Hubby says then it can make our hse, shoe area neater. I find that the rack is very ugly and not very keen. But since it's only $10 then we go n take a look. But being sooo lazy, by the time we reach PS was already 2.30pm and needless to say the shoe racks are all sold out since there's only 100 pieces. So we just walk around aimlessly.

Then hubby says go Marina Sq coz there are lucky draws for every $50. But we din manage to get anything from there. I was looking for a pair of shoes But sigh... just cannot find anything that catches my eye.

Had dinner at Carl's Jr. Not bad.. huge burgers and expensive I feel but since hubby has never tried it, then we went for tasting. Just the burger + the combo costs us $18! And it was SOOOOOOOOOO super crowded. But we saw, Jean Danker, Bryan and Fiona on stage for the luckly draw promotio.

I hate to go shopping and din get anything.. So guess what I bought for today?

for nails and face 1st purchases fm The Face Shop
If it's good, there will be more purchases! Hubby will faint if he knows! haha..

Yesterday, hubby already told me, tiger airways is having promotions. $0.88 cents per trip to either Bangkok or Phuket. And since we have been to Bangkok, we decided to go to Phuket but we were not able to decide on the date.

Thing is, we must make our booking within these 3 days, Fri - Sun. But unfortuntely, the dates are not our most preferred dates. But then again.. to get this offer, we decided to shift our dates lor. haha..

So officially, we are going to Phuket from 27 Sep - 30 Sep. And the air tickets only costs us a total of $170.02 for BOTH persons! Yeah! haha... Out of which, $100 I will use my co's MFE claim to offset. So we only pay $70 for the air lines and for hotels.. we will cap it at $150 so that I can also claim $150 fm co. Hooray.. Will be budget budget.

Hubby very sweet isn't he, he plans this so that we can go and celebrate our 1st year anniversay. Too bad it is not on our actual day lor but better than nothing lar..

confirmed air tickets for us! =)

1/2 day work and 1/2 day leave

Worked like a dog this morning! Can you imagine 2 schools coming into campus one after the other?! 1st school came in as early as 9 am, meaning I had to be in office by 8am. The other school came in at 10.30 am but was terriably late!

Goodness.. So I had to dash here and there to see to all of them make sure that my student leaders are there and know wat's happening and that they can manage the whole show while I go n load PC, prepare gifts and goodness knows what else!

And last nite, I stayed in office till 9.30 pm just so that I can finish preparing the photos for the "Photo Hunt" for 1 of the school this morning. How the game works is acutally very simple, just need the participants to go to various part of the campus where the photo is taken and do watever tasks we have written down in the little slip of paper given.

Thank God, the game din carry out, coz the school was soooooo darn late and the teachers actually said don't let them loose.. so ok lor, we screen the Design Clips instead. Which is sooooo much better for us. No need to go n worry abt time and they get lost! haha.

But this school, the teachers are horrible!! THEY SIMPLY DON'T CARE!!! I told the students to get back into the LT so we can start asap after refreshment, the teachers were either not in sight or don't care or join in the eating with the students!!! ARGGG!!!

Finally they are ALL gone. I had to clear up and return the LT to the next lecture grp. GOsh... soooo darn rush this morning.

AND, I still have to go n say goodbye to them with a smile on my face. I want to slap all of them!! So noisy and badly behaved and the teachers... ARGG!!!

The only good thing is that, coz I worked till so late last nite (din even have the chance to eat dinner at my parent's plc as I said I wld, heng, hubby ta pow back hm for me) I get to leave at 1.30 pm coz I claimed time off.. So where did I go?? Meet Trina of course, we went shopping! haha.. Though I was dead tired, but I still enjoy shopping with her very much! haha...

Still on my quest to seach for THE pink dress lor. *SIGH* Walked from OG to Robinsons, as they were having GOOD SALES. Trina wanted to get some make up from Bobbi Brown but was turned off by the sales person.. so we also din get any make up. But, we also did not go off empty handed. haha..

She got a mlphosis tissue cover and some cleanser for face.. while I got this...
a nice silver evening bag, perfect for attending Lynn's wedding Banquet next mth in my Paradox wedding heels.

Wanted to get Trina to go to Isetan.. but as we went back to OG to get the car, we pass by clothes section.. and I realise the dresses there are the same as "SUGARLINK" in ISETAN... inclusive of $$ also same. So took some in and try.. and wola!! Found my dress.

pink/peach dress for the church wedding =)

After all these walking arnd, both of us were also hungry.. So we went to a food court and had lunch + dinner. We had the tom yam set. Yummy leh. But not cheap. My set costs $6.30, includes of a rice, veg, soup and fish. Trina's abt $5 and instead of fish, hers was chicken. Not bad. Had a long chatting session wif her abt re-ships . I enjoy these sessions with her, mayb it's coz we are all women, so we find that we can relax ourselves just by sitting down and having a good chat. It helps us to relax, destress and most impt of all, gets us to be more aware of our own feelings and thoughts. Women need to talk to unwind.

After at least 1 hour there, she drove me back to campus coz I had netball practise. Not many members were here so we just anyhow play sme games and then call it a night. Tat's when I dashed hm to bathe and get ready for the movie, "The Da Vinchi Code". I won't have gone if it wasn't FOC. And I'm regretting that I went to watch it. Lousy movie! The book is much much nicer than the show. But still, I don't encourage ppl to go n watch. Coz it slanders the Catholic church by saying that all the facts are real. Bull! None of it is real!

Lengthy movie. Full of dialogue... Not nice. Not worth the ticket price at all!

Manage to catch 162 back and we went for supper at the KPT before heading home. On the way home.. was upset at hubby for something.. cannot even remember wat now.

Dead beat.. blog another time.

Another purchase...

I'm struck by the "purchasing" wind once again.

But.. hm... I think this time it cannot be qualified as a 'purchase'? Coz, last nite I went for my weekly dosage of Kickboxing and I signed up for another package. $100 for the next 12 sessions.

And since, this is something that will keep me fit and healthy, I decided not to qualify it as "Purchase" ha!





My official receipt for the next 12 sessions of kickbox.

A few days ago, I was surfing the web and found a shoe bag on offer.. So I decided to ask hubby to bid it for me.. and today is the collection day. Will be meeting the girl at YCK at abt 1 pm and once I got it will post the pic here too.. haha
was on auction and Hubby bidded for me, updated arnd 5pm.. It's acutally v v v big.. there's still enough space for 2 pairs of sandals after I put in my trainers!





and my "student card" which the staff will strike off a number each time i go.

And YOU KNOW WHAT?! Today is also the ISETAN private sale. And I want to stock up my purchase of Fancl!! Coz some of the items are having 50% off the second piece! But sucks, sucks and double sucks! I have a FULL day of program line up at work! Cannot go and get it.

Godma says she may or may not go, so I really don't know if she can go. But anyway, I have emailed her a list of the itmes that I want her to get for me.





a print screen of the items. But hmmm... I think it is not clear.. I shall copy and paste it here as well.

Fancl items
(to be used on face)

2) Fenatty Milky Lotion (S) - Moisturizer x 4 bottles

Ol' habits die hard

2nd day in my old office.. and halfway thru working, I was overcome with this urge to go shopping... so what do I do?

MSN Trina of course.. haha... well, she happened to be free and so we went shopping. heee...

Had my 1st ever burger fm Carl's Jr.. Nice. But still tastes abt the same as any other beef burgers I feel but the price is darn ex!! $8 for THAT mushroom burger. As usual, we chat and eat lor. Then after that, we went to walk around in the hope of me getting THE lavender dress.. sigh... no sign of it at all..

Was out only for a short while lar.. i feel.. then on the way back, I ask her to send me to the photo studio for me to collect some photos for the photo hunt coming our way on Friday morning.. then came back to office..

And then I saw the MSN tat Lynn left me. The conversation supossedly between me, Godma and Lynn went like this.
Lynn: Hi ladies!
Godma: Hi!
Lynn: I hope you all have not bought anything lavender yet coz I went shopping and I din see anything lavender.....Jie Mei's decided to change to PINK.
Godma: Haven't... yar, pink easier to find...
Lynn:.... OK! gotta go get busy now. *went offline*

After I came back and read the above.. I was like -_-"... after I went searching for THE lavender dress now she came back and change. But heng lar, at least
1) I haven't bought anything
2) PINK is sooooo much easier to find than lavender

So with effect from today, I am out on a quest to look for PINK dress! Pray I have better luck with THE pink dress rather than lavender! *whew*

And what can I say about sneaking out during office time?? "old habits die hard" lor. But.. heee... to console myself abit, I did do some work, I made arrangements for the mineral water via sms and also collected the photos meant for work.. Though I must admit, I took a long long long time.

AND my purchase for the day?





A cute little powdered blusher highlighter!
The actual name is call "Fun Fun Pop Cheek"

A meal prepared by...

Today, I don't have to rush home to prepare dinner.. Y? U may ask.. Well, coz hubby was tooo lazy to go to work, so he is gng to call in sick and thus, he promised me that he will get dinner ready for us by the time I get home from work. Sweet Hubby! =)

So early this morning, I woke up and prepare the soup and just left it in the slow cooker. And since my usual practise is to marinate the meat the moment I get home from market, hubby just need to cook it.

And since, he has never cook a meal by himself, I just told him how and what to do and the rest he did it himself. To make matters simpler, we had steam chicken with garlic, boiled vegetables, soup and rice.

Steaming chicken is easy, just put all the garlic over it and put into the rice pot while the rice is being cooked. Veg just boil. So hubby was very happy that he manage to cook me a meal.

I'm also happy that I finally get to eat a meal "prepared" by Hubby.

吃在嘴里,甜在心里! =)

Wld have been better if he had also clean up everything including washing up and wipping the table.. ha! But no such luck. So instead of him washing up, I washed up. Which means it is fair and square for both parties! =)

Well done, hubby. Nt time, cook more ok?

Sunday, May 14

Happy Mothers' Day!

Mothers' Day.. A day for those sales ppl out there to take $ fm my own pocket to be placed into theirs. Humph!

And since it falls on a Sunday, we still went for our mass at 11.30 am, as usual, the church wld have sme sort of Mothers' Day celebration. Today, we had 2 children reading poems for us all. Not too bad and the mass was celebrated by Fr Peter Koh. He was quite comical and the conversation went like this.

Fr Peter: My dear child, do you think it is tough to be a mother?
Child 1: I don't know...
Child 2: I don't know! Why are you asking me this?
All: *Burst into laughter*
Fr Peter: *searching for something to say*

Well.. not the best answer but then I guess, what would you expect to come out of the mouth of young children right? haha..

After mass, we went for a quick lunch at the nearby coffee shop coz we are coming back to CTK by 1.30 pm coz Godma's mother is getting baptised. =)

After the chinese baptism then hubby and me quickly went to our friend's BB girl full month celebration. And after that, finally dinner with my mum to celebrate mothers' day. We went for dinner at Ding Tai Feng. Food not too bad, their "soup pao" is not too bad. Not as nice as crystal jade though i feel. They were having a promotion and they gave a small cake for those who spent above $80.





Personally it looks like a little mushroom lor. But hey, do you know tat this cake is from "Breadtalk"? The box in which it came in is the unmistakeable "Breadtalk" box, even that silver card tat says "to mum with love, Ding Tai Feng" has the BT below. So, I guess, not bad lor. Got a free cake. Haha..

My mom soooo mountain turtle leh.. she actually made a wish with the cake. I mean, ppl make wishes on Bday cakes.. but hello!! This is Mothers' Day cake.. or does it work with simply ANY cake? Ha!





Mom cutting "mushroom" look alike cake.

Well, she was bugging me for this 'Four Clover Leaf" which is supposed to bring luck amongst other things. But coz this is pure suspersctious, so I did not. She actually made me quite pissed off with her in the afternoon earlier. She called me and then want me to go wif her to BRAS BASAR to get it! I told her can't, busy today and went on and on. Gosh.. finally she decided to go with my youngest sis to get it.

The silly leaf in a pendant + a necklace costs more than $100!! Goodness!! Robbery! I don't see anything special abt that leaf. And I AM SUPPOSED to pay for it! Sigh.

Quite sore over it.. but I don't want to say anything else, so after dinner, she went to my grand's hse. My sisters went home and hubby and me decided to go to NTUC again. We bought some more items and heee... Guess wat we bought as well..



Yep! Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream.

Actually these are our virgin tub.. we have never tasted B&J Ice Cream till now..




and here's hubby taking his FIRST mouthful...

Verdict?? YUMMYLICIOUS!!!

Saturday, May 13

We're going to the Zoo, Zoo, Zoo.

Woke up early today to go to the market to do my weekly supplies and coz I din want to slog the whole morning myself while hubby snoozes on, I made him get up with me to do marketing too.

This is the 1st time since our married days that he actually wake up early to go to the market with me. Ha! And his face not very happy but nvm. haha

Did a quick round, the usual chicken, meat and veg, showed hubby which are the stalls that I get my supplies from then rush to Ang Mo to get our weekly fresh milk and off we went home.

Once home, after I kept all the items and marinated the meat for the next cooking, we quickly set to work on the food for the pinic that we are bringing to the Zoo later on.

Together, we made egg mayo sandwich, ham sandwich and also have a garden salad. We also brought along a big bottle of water (ready for refilling fm taps once empy!) Snacks and of course camera! Once ready, we packed all in and bathed and outta of the hse we went. =)

Waited for a long time for 138 though.. sigh. On the bus, quite crowded, there are some cheena ppl also lor.




Hubby at me at the Singapore Zoo!

Took lots of pics of the animals there. I love the pengquins.. So cute!!
There was even a fella there that will follow hubby's leaflet movement bobbing it's head up, down and left right! So adorable! haha








think this is that little fella





don't this little fur ball here looks cute too?





and it gave me a shock when it suddenly leap onto the railing fm the tree!

And otters!!





















This little guy here was doing it the whole time we were standing there and watching. It was showing us how well it can swim on its back!







Horses! Majestic aren't they?





AND those inconsiderate cheena ppl feeding the goats and other animals in the kids section! Argg!

Loads of pics more but I'm too lazy to post it up. =P

After the Zoo trip, we took the 138 back to AMK and had dinner at S11. Not bad, then after we finished, we noticed that there was a stage set up for some thing.. but we were too early, so we decided to go and walk arnd before heading back to the centre stage to check it out.

Hubby went and bought another pair of shoes. This time round, it was sandals fm Neckerman. Gosh.. He has soooo many pairs of shoes now.. think our current shelves are definately not enough for both of our "collections".

And guess wat's happening at the centre stage?? Hip Hop dance compeition! The winning teams gets to go to LA! Wow.. Not bad eh?







1 of the teams. Din manage to get any more coz the ppl were all staring at me after this shot. =(

The competiton went on for at least 3 hours.. we stood there the entire time! We din wait for the emcee to annouce the results before we head for home. Gosh.. we were dead beat!!

shopping spree

After my outburst earlier, I totally ignored hubby for at least an hour. He made no attempt to talk to me till we were in the sauce section in NTUC. Anyway I din need to talk to him, so we kept silent...

And finally he made the move to apologies and cajole me.. and being married and having gone thru MPC and also after so long, decided to let it go and we made up there and then.

Spent a while in NTUC.. bought tomatoes, ham, sauces and bread for both home and the picnic tml.

Then coz I was looking at a LAVENDER dress suitable for church wedding.. we walk rnd. Cannot find anything suitable at all.. the only dress that looks decent made me look pregnant! Gosh!!

And I also need a pair of trainers... coz my old pair, the sole is coming off and friction is coming off too. And thus, we went to 'World of Sports'. Look rnd, wanted to get New Balance but can't find a good 1... and then coz I am flat footed... the sales recommended me..






It's darn expensive.. even after the 10% discount, it still costs me more than $160! I swear this is the most expensive pair of shoes I ever owned! But hubby says the technology that "asics" has is very good and the sales ppl assured me that it is very good for ppl with flat me. i.e MOI.

And when I tried it on, hmmm.. yar.. it really makes the difference.. and so..
closer view of my new trainers =)






Well... it's not just me who bought shoes.. hubby bought a pair of "puma" which was having 40% discount.. woah!! Not bad leh. But no pics.. he din take and I was too excited abt my own to care abt his. haha..

Just 2 pairs of shoes and it costs $230+... sigh..

I have noticed that usually after an arguement, hubby tends to be more tolerant of my spending manner.. or was it coz this is trainers and I only buy trainers when the old 1 is spoiled? hmmm...

And after buying and jalan-ing we decided to head hm to do sme hse chores and then off to my PIL's plc for dinner.. as pre Mothers' Day Celebration lor. But I think hubby din tell her it is pre Mothers' Day Celebration.. coz the food was hm... all right and no one was hm except for the female lead n my older BIL who is preparing to go n work.

But hey... we saw the photo of his new GF.. Basket.. no chance of patching back with Ling anymore. Sigh...

behaviour of a 3 year old!

Gosh.. I'm not proud of it.. but.. anger got control over me and what can I say?

Earlier today, we decided to have lunch at Kopi Tiam then go to NTUC to buy some food for our little picnic tml at the zoo. I can't decide what to eat and hubby was already queueing for chicken rice.. So, finally after walking arnd I told him I wanted the same. BUT NO BREAST MEAT for me. (Hubby eats any part of the chicken except for the intestines).

But when he came back with 2 plates of the chicky rice, what did I see for myself? BREAST MEAT!! I shot him daggers with my eyes and repriminded him there and then. Already told him NO breast meat and he still came back with it! Argg!!!

So, I just want to push the meat aside to get to the rice.. and as though it was not bad enough, there were pineapples! EEks.. I hate pineapples too. So with a sudden surge of strength, i pushed the meat and pineapples..





behaviour fit for a 3 year old

If u can't see the pic clearly, on the right corner are all the meat and pineapples that I pushed outta of the plate. Threw the fork onto the left corner and was just eating rice wif the chili and black sauce.

Hubby took this pic after we both had finished. I ignored him for a good hour before I finally decided to let it rest and of course after he apologiese.

Hubby told me.. this is the result of behaving badly.. if i had just listened to him and his apologies, he wld hv bought me another plate of food and I won't have to just eat rice. -_-"

What a way to spend Vesak.. and goodness... I behaved sooooo badly!

MVP of the year

I think my hubby is aiming to be the MVP of the year at least at home. Ha!

After clearing our mails last nite, there were lots of unwanted papers and envelopes so wat did my aspiring hubby do? Crush them all into little balls to be thrown in Mr Bin from a good distance of 3m (at least).





Taking a gooooooood aim...





and off he shoots!







To say the least, he is still quite far fm being MVP.

But well.. he seems to be having fun!

Discovery

Today marks the 1st session of the Discovery Programme that we hold twice a year. Today's turnout is B-A-D, bad. sigh...

out of the 135 who signed up only a handful turned up.. wastes of manpower, resouces and preparations! And also waste food lor. sigh..

Early this morning, got to reach office and then had meeting with DSEG(E) and Chua BK and Austin. Dir said lots of things... which got me a bit worried and to be honest, stressed. After the meeting with the men, BK wanted me to go to his office and continued with 2nd round. And it lasted for more than an hour! Luckily, the preparations that I need to get ready for the "Handphone Making" was prepared in advanced. If not, I will be rushing like mad at the end of the day!

Chua BK also said alot of things lar.. and I think my days in SEG(M) is numbered. Fm the way he speaks, think he want me to go back coz, well.. payroll and headcount is still considered with them ma. Aiyah.. come what may, then I just do my part lar. Dont want to go n think so much now. V sian. *sigh*

Packing my bags

Oh well... a yr has just fly by again... And here I am getting ready to leave this dept to go back to the old dept at SEG.

I'm kinda relief that I'm gng back.. The past year here is ok.. good staff and rapport and support but just that I cant help but feel that there are many pairs of eyes arnd and ppl seem to be watching and of course besides bored stiffed I hv nothing much to say.. Oh ya.. just remembered 1 mre thing, spending loads of $.. Bday lunches, Bday presents, welcome lunch, farewell lunch. Though the amt is not very big but hey sooo many ppl here, the amt adds up to! Gosh...

Now that I am packing my bags and shifting my butt (once again) I am wondering if they will still keep me in the loop for all these celebrations. I certainly hope not.. Not coz of anything but hey... I am not tat close to them after all lor. Just that coz I am here so no choice got to participate. If not classified as anti social ma..

11 May is the official day that my secondment here ends. But coz of the Discovery Programmes, I think I will sit tight for another few more days.

Thursday, May 4

it's THAT time of the month

What's more to be said?

That time of the month comes with cramps, backaches and tight sensations down under. But the worse of it all is the mess it creates when I stained anything!! Argg!!!

If I don't stain anything, I can live with the rest of the things. ANYTHING than staining! Argg!!!

Woke up this morning and to my horror, stained my bed and my quilt. Darn sian. Puts me into a foul mood.

So messy and sticky and dirty. hai..

But then again, with it's "grand" arrival, it also goes to show that, our wish for a BB later is once again fulfilled.

Affairs of the Heart.

Have been chatting to Trina and Godma recently about "Affairs" of the heart and I guess body too.

Fm the "married for a number of years" view point, if the couple are having problems, be it the fault of the wife or the fault of the man. All it takes is just a 3rd party to come into the picture and it is so easy for either party to fall into tempatation and then the marriage is seriously on the rocks! And when such things happen, is it the fault of the wife or the fault of the husband? Well, one can't be certain, she says, coz have to look at the situation and then be able to make a judgment and where possible make atonements and then to mend the re-ship. Though it's not easy but as long as both parties are willing to try to come back to each other and with the grace of God, I guess it is possible.

While fm the "not yet" married view point, it seems to me that if he strays, and cannot give the assurance or mend the trust and feelings back, then it is time to let go.

From these 2 stand points, both are reasonable reactions but what is my own stand point?

Will I be taking the "married" stand point or the "unmarried" stand point? Does this stand point change after getting married and having kiddies? I think for most women, (and maybe men) it would. But can the other party who did not stray forgive and forget the whole issue and learn to move on with life as though nothing has ever happened before?

As a woman, can i tolerate my hubby playing the fields after marriage? I don't know. Godma says, if both parties is to be blamed then shd move on... but wat if it is just 1 party? Still move on? I know my faith teaches me that there is NO divorce and the only way the marriage can be annulled is if either 1 party went into the matrimony withholding information and did not concomsunate the marriage and that the marriage was not done in the house of God. I think for my case, I do not fit any of the above on grounds of annullement... so the best that we can do is really to work hard and work harder at our marriage!

Oh what joy...

These few days have been so good... hubby manage to borrow BIL's car coz he went to M'sia and so we took over his car for a few days.

So since Wed morning, hubby was able to fetch me to work, then have bf wif me then he goes off to work for 3 days in a row. I throughly enjoyed being ferryed to and fro.. haha.. How I wish we can have a car too.. But just driving around for the past 3 days.. the amt we spent on petrol and car park is also enough to push the thoughts off my mind liao... haha

Wed nite, I went home to cook... then after dinner, hubby drove me around... I suggested gng to East Coast park... so we made our way there.. and since I cannot read maps, I dont know the way neither does hubby so we were lost.. when we finally reach ECP... we spent less than 30 mins there and then we left.. haha.. But we went to take a short walk then leave ECP. We went to Casurina for prata and then I told hubby I want to go n "catch dog/monkey" (liak gao - I'm not sure the "gao" is dog or monkey though) haha... so hubby drove me to lower and upper seletar to find sme actions.. but so disappointing leh, din manage to catch anyone in action leh.

Finally after a long night out, we decided to head home and call it a day.

Thurs, morning as usual, hubby drove me to office for bf and then he left for office. I went for Kickboxing after work, and hubby being the swt hubby he is, came to fetch me and Joelle, we sent Joelle home and then we went back to our plc kopitiam for dinner/supper. Gosh... I ate soooooo much!! I had Bee Hoon goreng fm the Indian stall and then 2 BBQ wings + a can of soft drink.. goodness.. all those punches, kicks and sweats are all for nothing man.

Fri... the day which my kaypo colleagues asked soooo many questions! -_- Had the ISBG netball competition, so hubby came to watch me while I play. Brenda's hubby cute leh, the ang mo ang mo cute kind. haha..
While we were in the middle of the 2nd match, captains were all called for a meeting and that delayed the match by lots.. and from no rain, we waited till it was heavy downpour!! And then another long wait for the decision to have the games or not have the games.. sigh... finally decision was made for no games and I quickly went to bathe. Coz after bathing, we still hv to rush to CTK for RCIA. Thank God, we have the car, if not by the time i reach CTK wld be 9 pm!
Hai... listened to hubby and we went down wrong ways.. so had to climb the stairs all the way up to exit the campus... sigh.
But the time we went to the car, it already stopped raining, so we just go to CTK fm there.. was famished as well as tired... but that din stop us from gng to Casariuna for prata again =) I like their paper prata!! Yummy yummy

Sat - the last day we had the car, we drove to J8... and din do much there anymore. Coz hubby took part in the Ginvera - Nugeno men competition; to shrink ur face within 10 mins and the thing was sooooo long. Have to register at 1pm and then wait and wait and wait.





waiting for the sign to start...





mre waiting for the emcees to explain the next step... *sigh*

By the time he was done it was past 5pm and we rushed dw to CTK for mass. But while waiting for hubby, I went to cut my hair, now it is shorter and punkier (if there is such a word) than ever. Walked arnd but still hubby not done, when I finally decided to go n get a drink in MOS, just after my bum touch the seat, Emilyn sms me saying she come find me... haha... what a concidence! So hard to meet her and a chance meeting in J8 on Sat.
But we din have a chance to catch up much then hubby called and say he can go... so bid farewell and left. By the tm we reach CTK, our usual seats were full coz there was the Rite Of Acceptance for the wed group RCIA. So we had to sit at the sides.
Then after mass, we zoomed to Lynn's hse. Coz she's having a BBQ for us - the wedding helpers. Wld have stayed late to yak and laff but too bad hubby is on night shift and then 1 of his colleagues is down so he cannot go late as he orginally planned to so we had to leave before the party even started. *sigh*
And even with Godma in the car wif us, we got lost a couple of times, we missed a turn and then went into some wrong roads and then took a long long time to reach home. Along the way, Wiselyn sms me for coffee, so since hubby working, i decided to join them. Hubby wld hv sent me to J8 fm hm... but too bad my hp NO batt... so had to charge it abit before I can go off and hubby cld not spare the time to wait for me lor. Too bad.. no free ride, I had to take the bus there myself.

Din have a chance to c hubby till he came hm at 4am.. was awaken by the door opening and then the bathroom lights and shower noise. So we both being dead tired just fell asleep the moment we lie down on the bed again.

Woke up at close to 11am, hubby said he took sme leftovers fm his co... and I heated up the pizza, fish burger and sme other knicks knacks tat we hv at hm.. and for the whole of Sudnday, we just ate all these junk, nua and watch TV. Sometime in the early evening, I know hubby went to return car to his bro.. My plan was to go IKEA.. coz hv car, easier for us to bring our purchases back.. since we want to buy a cabinet to house our bed sheets n linens. Well.. another time then.. But still, today is a very very relaxing day. No need to cook, no need to clean, wake up, eat, nap, eat, watch tv and slp.. woah!! My kinda sunday!

This is my husband, Mr Sharon Loh! >_<"

I never never knew that my colleagues are sooooooo KAYPO!!! I can't take it!

This afternoon just before lunch, another colleague (who sits within the same office as me) called me aside to tell me that earlier this morning, there was another colleague who called her up and asked her if there is a new male temp staff within our office. Coz she seen me come up to office with a young man. Looks abit too old to be student, but not like any man who is dressed to go to work.

So that kaypo colleague began to dig for more info. The colleague who sits with me in the same office told her something along the lines of "Y u dig so much?","Tat guy is her husband!" Of course I must bear in mind that this colleague may hv kua chang and added in fuel or something coz by the time i heard it it's already 2nd hand.

So anyway, I am just rather pissed that this has to happen of all times. Coz today is the last time in a row that hubby fetches me to work and comes up with me. From Monday onwards, I will be coming on my own and then they wont have a chance to c him again and coz of the way it was said, it's as though I bring men up for affairs!! Goodness!!

So happens that Brenda (my netball captain) also has the same thing happening to her before and she jokingly told the 2 of us, next time, we shall prade our husbands around annoucing to the world that this is my husband, Mr my name!!

2 hands to clap...

These days, have been talking to Trina. And can sense that Kel made her so sad wif his ways.

I don't think that she is behaving unreasonably neither is she behaving in the 'princessy' manner. I think if I were in her shoes, I would be doing the same things and thinking the same thoughts.

I don't deny that sometimes she may be a bit pampered but on this I feel tat she is being perfectly woman about it, to feel insecure and to feel sad and to feel at a total loss of what to do.. But I totally totally salute her in being to refuse to answer his calls for 3 SOLID weeks! I myself cannot do that lar.. I lack the determination to do something like this.

But then again I think it may be made worse by the fact that he is in Aust and she is in SG. Long distance re-ships are definately harder to manage.

Only thing will be for her to really cool down and think things thru. And I still believe that they must have a good long talk before anything can be concrete.

Kel do strike me as someone who is not very senstitive and rather immature at times. But then again how often do I see him? I may be wrong. I dont see his other factors coz I dont know him well enough. Only Trina will be able to judge for herself.

Spend $, spend $, SpEnD! sPeNd!! SPENT!!!

Took half day leave yesterday in the afternoon and went to shop with Trina! Actually the full purpose of taking half day leave is to go to Taka and buy the Corelle utencils coz it is on promotion.

Before we started to go and buy anything, we took lunch 1st, it's not fun shopping on empty stomachs neither is it fun to shop with empty wallets. =P

10 piece at $199 with a free potable gas stove or 6 piece with 4 free bowls. I wanted to get the 6 piece (2 glass lids, 1 plastic lid and 3 carosoles) with the free bowls then I saw another promotion set, also 6 piece but at $75. This 6 piece comes with 2 glass lids, 2 plastic lids and 2 of the famous carosoles.

Because of the costs constraint and also owing simply that I do not need so many carosoles, I decided to the get the package that is just $75. And I also got a cook book from the tanyu pot section. =) I think I'm on my way to becoming a great chef! Ha!Ha!

Was going to walk arnd with the items.. then I think it is too clumbersome and too heavy, finally decided to ask Trina to open her car door and put the item in then we can go shopping easily!

Walked arnd Taka, actually nothing much to c or buy till we hit Wistma.. by chance we turned into Fashion Lab... and in it.. wah... both of us spent $108... there were additional 20% discount, tat's y I only spent $76.80 out of the $108... before discount it was supposed to be $96 leh! I bought 3 different colour racers, white, blue and red =) Material is good.. but still abit pricy la.. compared to my $10 racers that I get fm Baleeno, Girodano or Samuel&Kelvin.. but nvm la..

Then I went to Crystal Jade to get the soya sauce chicken. Not on promotion but the Ginsen Chicken was, so I bought tat. Equally nice when we had it for dinner later on. ha!

Then we decided we need a break, went to Mcdonald's for a drink and knowing gals, we yak for a good long time before we moved off again.

Last stop, went to MAC and I bought a new lip gloss for myself!

Then feeling happy and satisfied with my purchases, we decided to go home! =)

End to a wonderful shopping day!!

Easter Sunday

Happy Easter Everyone!! =)

The period of suffering and woe and abstinence is finally over and it is time to rejoice coz our dear Lord JC is risen again! Hooray!!!

Last night or rather, this morning coz we slept so late, we were soooo tired, we cld not get out of bed. By the time, we manage to crawl out of bed and open our sleepy eyes, it was already past noon! This is the 1st time that we slpet till sooo late! The last time we slept till after 11am was coz of our wedding.

Memories of what happened last nite slowly came back to mind. After the Easter Vigil, godma together with her 5 new god children came to our plc for a little post baptism celebration. Had Hokkien noodles, Chicken Mutabak, BBQ Chicken wings, bee hoon and the ever so famous Hilton Cheese Cake and after tasting it, gosh, it's not famous for nothing! They were here since maybe 11pm and stay all the while till arnd 2.40am. Laff and yak and chat.. they also looked thru our wedding photos and looked at our hse too la. I feel like I have been thru this so many many times. But there will always be ppl who have not come to our plc before lor.

I'm happy to have them come over, at least it is at our place, it's convenient. But the draw back is that we got to clear up the mess lor. haha.. They din really creat alot of mess also la but still got to do some light cleaning up. But both hubby and me were so dead beat, we just kept the food, threw the remains and rubbish (and thank God for INTERNAL rubbish chutes) and then we took our shower and went into dreamland.

And now back to the present... we both crawled out of bed and then slowly ramage the fridge for the remains of the this morning's cheese cake. Each of us had 2 slices and tat settled our brunch.

Since it is hubby's job to mop the floor, I nua in front of the google box.. feeling darn lazy and relaxed! =) When he is done, he wanted to watch "Triple X" quite a nice show wif a good looking guy with a o so hot bod! Enjoyed the show v v much.

Then managed to cajole hubby to go and buy dinner for us.. so i continued to laze some mre.. =)

Easter Sunday and we had a easter bunny too.. all the way from Austria. A gift from Eric (Godma's hubby) we each nibble part of it and left the biggest chunk in the fridge too.

Good and restful Sunday!!

And I don't even feel blue tat it's Monday tml.. coz I guess I am on PM leave... so tat really REALLY helps! haha..

Hmmm... maybe I shd start taking Mondays afternoon off for the rest of the year! Ha! Ha!

Holy Saturday

Just managed to send the last of my newly baptised god brothers and sisters (a total of 5 of them!!) thru the main door... clear up some of the mess and gosh..too tired to blog anything else.

Mre stories tml, I promise.

Good Friday

Good Friday or rather Easter Friday.. day where JC died for our sins.

Went to CTK at 2pm for the 3pm mass. Woo.. by the time we reached there the church is relatively empty and we saw quite alot of our Exodus RCIA ppl there so naturally we sat togehter but Godma wanted to sit at another pew wif her family so we split up when we reach CTK.

Mass, opps.. not mass, it's service coz for today, the priest left out the Eucharastic Prayer... so we just hv holy communion but did not have the 'transforming' of bread and wine.

After mass, we went to J8, wanted to get my hair cut since yesterday.. but sucks the stylist is just not there yesterday and today.. so forget it, will go back to Helen la. Waste my time and my $.

Had chi cha dinner at the coffee shop behind the CPF building then walked arnd a bit and went home.. End of my Easter Friday.

Tml is Holy Sat and then we will finally have our elects baptised!

Thursday, April 13

ohh.... ahhh... a day of relaxation

Was on leave today.. what bliss! =)

Actually, today supposed to be a day of sorrow coz our dear dear Lord, Jesus Christ will be tortured and going to die tml.

Woke up rather early for a day that need not work coz we are gng to our Parish church for the annual Chrism Mass in which the archbishop will bless the various oil being used for this coming entire year.

We had breakfast and then go to CTK, but when we reach, it was already quite packed so we had to sit at the back.. which I dont really like but no choice. Then after mass, we went to AMK - Maybank to settle some banking issues and then had a late lunch then we went home. Just had time to sit and rest of 30 mins or so then we were off the CTK again for the Maundy Thursday mass.

This is the mass that I least like coz it is so sad, so solemn and so bleak where all of us are thinking the immense love that JC has for us that he is willing to die for our sins when HE himself is the sinless and pure one.

Jie met up with us to go for the Maundy Thursday mass and after tat, we went to AMK S11 to hv dinner, not supposed to have meat.. but I had chicken chop.. hai.. chatted for a while and then found out that older BIL may hv a new gf.. so i told Jie to let us know if he brings her home, I v curious la.. haha

After dinner, went home to nua some mre and get ready for Good Friday mass tomorrow.

the sky cries on the hour..

I was told by Trina that recently, the sky will pour on the hour and it usually starts at either 3pm, 4pm or 5pm but never in between.

Today or rather now, the sky decided to start abit earlier. When it started to pour a few mins ago, I decided to check it out for myself by looking at the time. N boy, she was right! The rain came at 1.56pm, almost 2pm.

I don't think that there is anything so special at raining on the specific hours but hey.. it's almost like clockwork these days and it's sure to pour in the evenings.

time pasts sooooo slowly

Why is it when I am only working 3 days this week and the time seems to simply slow down and not move at all?!

Sucks. I am so irriated today. Din manage to sleep well last nite coz some idiot indians were at the void decks of my opp block, talking and laughing away the whole nite and being a light sleeper, all these noise really gets to me and I din manage to sleep.

Kept being jostled awake and then still hear their voices. Was soooo tempted to call the NPP but then again I thought since they are downstairs working on their religious thing, I just bear with it but it was a terriable night! Hubby don't seem to be affected at all, he slept like a pig throughout.. hai..

And today, is a boring day, nothing much to do and I simply sit here and waste my time. So darn boring!!!

battle with the light ants

Last nite... Hubby was watching "super band" and I snooze off while watching on the sofa.. I was suddenly awkaen by sme scratchy feeling on body and also jotled wide awake with hubby's shout of "WAH!" and he begin staring at the lights.

So naturallly I looked up and goodness!! There were swarms and swarms of light ants in our hse, at the 4 lights that we usually on!! Both of us jump up and sprang into actions. Off the lights, but still have alot.

Hubby took insectscide and wanted to spray them down but he decided not to coz the they will drop all over the plc. We lighted candles, those ants flew into it and then were literally burned to deadth. Finally, we took out the vaccumm cleaner and then we started sucking them all into it. But gosh!! No matter how hard we suck or spray them, more just kept coming in!! Sooooo irriated!!! ARGG!!!

We sprayed at the door, the windows and yet they can still come in.. It's like no end to killing it!! Don't know where they came from or how they appear. SERIOUSLY!!!

In the end, we were both dead tired, we off all the lights, sprayed once mre at the cracks that we suspect they come in from, turn on the air con and went off to bed.

This morning, when I go look at the door, there were still so many dead and must have attempted to crawl in and dying in the process..

Gosh!!! I wished I won't have to see them again and most impt, during the gathering this Sat, they don't come!!!

raining meow meow and woof woof, again.

Don't know what is wrong with the weather these days.

From early evening onwards, the sky will start to turn grey, then gradually darker and darker then if finally pours at 4+, 5pm. Today it started pouring abit later, 5+ if not Godma will complain that it's raining heavily when she is gng home. Today, it started pouring after she left for home fm office. Heng for her but bad for me.. I will be trapped in the rain later then.

Earlier today, Godma and me were discussing drinks and food for the post baptism party at home nt sat. Finally decided on the drinks and we will be having red and white wine with a twist to it, we will add in some other favourings to the wine. So Godma will go n check out the prices as she go hm.

Also told her that there is a new guy working in the bakery shop, told her to go n check him out. He's not exactally good looking, but tall and big size, the kind tat I like. He's a M'sian from the sounds that he makes. I find him appealing. Hahaha.. coz i like his size. haha

I quite bad hor, married liao still like this.. but hey, no harm in looking mar.

approaching mid week

Finally it's time for normal bed time! We finally finished the 大长今 DVD on Sunday nite. It's such a relief finishing the whole long long show. But yet, also kinda sad.. haha coz nothing to chase and look forward to anymore in the evenings, unless we want to watch it on TV again lor.

This week so far has been rather boring la.. as usual. *SIGH* Tried to do my appraisal and to submit my monthly report. Really quite bored, nothing much to do.. and I am getting paid for chatting on MSN and blogging. Ha!

Had management meeting with PHS's sch team yesterday and I went home late. Luckily was able to rush home and cook and eat my dinner (Pasta; the quick and easy meal when in rush) before our insurance agent, Amy comes with our policies.

Meeting started abit late but definately ended late! And I din even have time to go n return key nor tape. SO had to come in earlier today so that I can go n return in case any1 needs to use it.

The sec.. called me at just after 9am, demanding where is her tape. Told her with Chua then she hang up. I dont know if it is coz i've step on her toes before or she is like tat. But anyway, just leave it as it is lar. sigh..

Last nite, was the first time I boiled my new slow cooker. And to prepare for dinner tonite, I cut up all the necessary vegs left it in the fridge and this morning, woke up slightly earlier to throw all the necessary into the pot. I hope and pray that the pot will not explode and that the soup will not overflow.. Coz being me, I did not read the instructions (as usual) and instead of putting in veg 1st, I put in meat 1st then veg and also filling it wif quite a large amt of water..

Godma assures me that by the time I go hm later, the pot of soup will be done and only abit (if at all) will spill onto the table top and DEFINATELY won't explode. While hubby's stand is, explode nvm, coz our hm is covered under insurance. Hurmph!! Some kinda reasoning ya??

Tonite... I've already planned. Will have the soup which has been boiling away for the whole day.. taste better be good!! I'm gonna hv chicken wings and last of all, steam toufu in honey soya sauce in garlic and mushrooms!

I hope hubby enjoy his dinner tonite.. and I just cfm that my home is protected as of tat day we signed the insurance. Good!!

random posts

Been sometime since I last posted in here. For just some strange reasons, just can't pick up enough zeal to come in and to write or rather type something.

This few days passed by w/o much happenings except me being exposed at not gng for the staff conference hosted by my former school director.

Have no wish to talk about it again... i actually went out with Trina.. How was I to know that boss will saboh me and mentioned my name in front of ALL those ppl??! Hai.. that is the worse thing that happen to me in my work here.

Did v little this week - almost nothing at all. Unless being saboh as 1 of the happening things.. Vendors come and go to deliever and take back items. Then reading and prying into other ppl's blogs.. exciting lor.. hai.. so darn bored at work.

And the moment we reached home, bathe, eat then we plonk ourselves in front of the google box to catch 大长今 on DVD. Thank God we have enough network to borrow the disc! If we were supposed to catch it on TV, we will be like rushing to go hm most of the nights. BUT! With the DVD, we are still rushing home.. so tat we can watch more of it.

I have not slept earlier than 1 am since last Friday.. wish that we will finish the show soon.. Left with disc 7 and 8. Shd be able to finished it by tml then!

Good deed indeed!

Godma and me planned something naughty but benefitcial for bro and his wife today.. in fact a few mintues ago only!

W/o his knowledge or approval, we registered him and his wifey for ME which stands for Marriage Encounter! This is good for couples who have been married for at least 5 years and when the marriage is stale and settled into a routine, time to add sme spice and re-discover each other all over again coz most marriages wld have fallen into a routine by then.

N poor bro, seems to be having sme problems with his wifey which they cannot seem to resolve, so hopefully the ME will help them to open up to each other and to salvage the marriage.. and most importantly, God to come into their lives and then to lead the both of them on lor.

Acutally last nite I also had a squabble with hubby lor. I was pissed coz of his bad habbits lor.. leave the clothes on top of the washing machine to air dry for days and the clothes were stacking on top of each other.. among sme other minor things.

I feel tat it's so hard to stay together.. so many things that we cannot agree on.. and all these are not the big issues, it's mre of the small things that put a wedge thru a couple. Now I'm begining to understand y ppl say it's the small things.. really..

When it comes to bigger items or issues, it seems we are able to resolve it calmly n peacefully.. but when it comes to minor.. hai..

Guess we still hv v long long long long way to go.

*WHEW* Big sigh of relief

*Whew* Finally the visits for this week is over! Handling 2 school visits in 1 week on alternate days is no joke, but at least better than the last time, 1 day, 2 different schools! 1 in the morning, another in the afternoon!

1st day was Bowen Sec, all the naughty Sec 2's. Wonder y the teacher bring them here, they are too young to appreciate all these. Today was Mayflower Sec. Don't like the school and I don't like the teachers. All the bao tau.. eee.. I know I am racist lar.. But really cannot take this school. The teachers are so demanding! It has a long way of histroy lar, the former teacher is demanding, this one not so demanding but about the same.

Year after year, they expolit us, make use of our facilities coz it's free and yet when the time comes for enrollement, we don't see their students! What pissed me off most is this lor. Expolit us and make use of our facility. AND when they are here, take up greater half of the day!

Thank God the next time I see them will be next year!

Concerned or Inteferring?

A few days ago, actually on the nite when I went for my kick box, I got 2 calls fm FIL. He called twice coz I switched off my hp and singtel users hv this service where they will send a sms to my hp when it's on agian tat a certain no called me __ times..

By the time I switched on my hp, it was abt 8.10 pm or thereabouts, was walking arnd in Mango with Joelle and imagine my surprise when I saw the number fm PIL's home, not once but twice as well. So I called back, thining somehow, hubby must have changed his mind on gng for a swim but went to his parents' hm for dinner. So I tried to reach him on his mobile but not on.. so I called his home.

MIL picked up the phone, she told me no one was looking for me and neither is hubby there.. so I was about to hang up when FIL came to the line.

He was ok, polite then he asked/told me tat hubby met 6th aunt earlier and told her that he gng for a swim, asked me if I knew.. Told him I do. Then he continued to ask if I am with him, told him no, then he asked where I was, what I do, how often, how much etc etc. I answered him as best as I can in mandrain.. *Note that one can't really translate kickboxing in chinese within that few mins.. Then he asked abt dinner, told him no have'nt eat, will be gng hm to eat with hubby later.

Chatted for a while more then we hang up.

When I reache home, hubby was already home so I asked him if FIL called him, he say nope.

Acutally I am wondering, since it is his son who met 6th aunt, why call me? Y not call his son to ask him? Not that I mind answering him but I find it weird that he calls me to ask all these questions when his son will know too.

Godma tells me tat he is concerned tat I do not look after his son proberly.. but hey.. his son is a grown man too, capable of being someone else's daddy too! So need FIL be so uptight over his son?

As I am penning this dw.. suddenly it occured to me.. cld it be coz that his oldest son broke up wif the gf and tat since 6th aunt told him tat hubby went swimming and I am not in sight, he is worried that we are on the rocks too?

Or is it simply just a concerned father wantting to know what his children are doing for the evening???

*ponder*ponder*ponder*
