CNY day 3

wah.. so fast, 3rd day of CNY liao.. had a tiff wif my mum last nite and I wanted to not go to my uncle's plc today.. but wat she says makes sense coz every year they come to my mum's plc but this yr coz my mum unwell, she cancelled so tat brings us to go to my uncle's plc in Sembawang, Woodsilve.

Gave her a face when i saw her, refuse to acknowledge her pressence.. v bad hor.. but don't care lar. haha

Had a light lunch, sat for a while then we went back to my PIL's plc for another rnd of lunch. Wonder how much food has been gng into my stomach for the last couple of days.

After that, went home.. tat silly hubby of mine!! Argg... left his keys at his parents's plc. After we reach our blk, when he was trying to reach for his keys, he discovered it!!! Argg!! So he took a cab back home to take keys and take a cab back!! Waste of $.. there i was trapped outside our door, at the void deck, cannot even sit down on the stone table & seats to wait coz the cleaners were washing and in an urgent need to go toilet!!! As if it's not bad enough, hubby took my hp coz his was low bat!!! Argg!!

Finally he came back.. i was so fuming mad but i think he shd hv the grace to feel guilty, so i just told him nt tm, don't empty out his pockets! *sigh*

Had a shower n zzz for a while.. but before i even hv a chance to zzz mum called wif a v angry & pissed tone asked y i say not gng back for dinner anymre... i wanted to tell her coz i pissed lor.. but din, just say friend coming. She HANG MY PHONE!!! Gosh.. Today is really really not my day!!!

Anyway... to cut the whole darn story short, I just say ok, will go ov after friend left.

Stanley came at abt 6.. and from 6 onwards, I keep getting sms fm xiao mei to go over... heck.. i din bother. When Stan and his family left.. (his boy, Javier is really adorable.. wear my bedroom slippers and walk rnd my plc.. haha) we walked over.

Made us hurry and also not in time to start dinner wa! Mum's sister also not here yet. Don't know she kan cheong wat! Win lor..

Anyway, dinner was good... had shark's fins soup, pepper crap and some other dishes bought fm the chi zha stores.. had a good dinner.. and laze in front of google box again..

a good ending to a not so good day i guess... praise the Lord for it though!

Tml is the end of the CNY holidays.. but happy and lucky me, on leave for the rest of this week! haha

CNY

First Day of CNY really give AP till we blur... first stop was to my granny's then after lunch there.. which isn't v good, we took a bus and went all the way to Yishun to hubby's granny's plc.

Thank goodness, we were one of the few who reach early, means that I dont hv to go in and start calling loads of ppl who look foreign to me! SO anyway, this time rnd is hubby's job to give AP.. all the kids look the same to me, hubby give better, coz he has seen them from young. haha

Sat there, feeling bored and then had dinner... finally we were able to go off! Went hm, took a quick shower, rested in front of google box for a while and then out again.. coz we went to watch 'Huo Yuan Jia' at Bishan. Not too bad coz with HSBC card, there is a $1 off every ticket.. but gosh!! When I went to collect my tickets, the queue were so long!! Was kinda afraid that we could'nt get in in time. But tks to rather effecient staff, we manage to make ourselves comfortable before the show starts.

Not too bad lar the show... if nothing to do and too much $ can go and watch lor.. haha..

Hubby quite swt.. he carried a big bag and put in my fav. pillow.. so even during the show, i cld hug it!! hahaha.. 1st time i brought my pillow out wif me. haha.. wonder if my neighbour can smell my ba wu.. hahaha

Day B4 CNY...

This year, CNY is the 1st time we gave AP.. coz married liao mar.. but i tell u, giving AP not v fun.. Give till v luan. haha.. too many ppl, kids, cousins and goodness knows who else!

But all in all, this yr CNY not as hectic as previous years! Coz this yr, my mum decided to not hv CNY at her plc. So it saves me lots of AP and also no need to go n clean up the hse.. but then again, I got to clean up my own hse! haha

Had reunion dinner at PIL's plc this year.. we had steamboat after gng for CNY mass in CTK. Gosh.. ate so much so that we had problems moving. Had sake yu sheng n lots of other kinds of balls.. don't know wat.. just eat.. then settle dw to watch TV.

After that, we just went home to continue snacking and to prepare for the First Day of CNY tml.

Quiet day in office

Last day of work before the CNY holidays come and I am totally moodless to get my butt and hands for that matter to work!

Ever since after the mad hse period, came back on Monday drag my feet to follow up with some of the items and then I am totally moodless to work.

Half day off on Wed and Thurs afternoon... Wed went with Godma and Bro to chinatown to soak in the CNY feeling. So fun and not that crowded. V good. Then yest went home to take a short nap and clean up the place a bit and then to out to meet hubby at Suntec.

The only thing that is abit sian is that since last week, was trying to get a watch coz hubby says he will buy me a watch for my VDay and Bday together lor. Saw the Guess? watch but it's always last piece here and there and the design is rather old liao.. so still thinking to get or not to get. Then yesterday, saw anothe watch fm Swatch. Not bad.. just not my kinda watch. But it is a pretty piece. $ is also v reasonable. So how ar? Still dont know to get which piece.

Anway, back to today, i think I can count the number of ppl who is in with 1 hand. Tat shows alot ya? Everyone is so CNY mood and tat includes me of course!! haha

Just cannot wait for the time to pass faster where I can go home and then to RCIA and then to countdown to CNY eve!

This year will be the 1st time that I am having reunion dinner at PIL's plc... will be bringing yu sheng and a chestnut cake dessert that I manage to discover from Chinatown.

Now the next question is to go for mass tml or on Sunday.

CNY is coming CNY is coming

Boy oh Boy... me feeling the CNY mood.. happy leh!!

And today, I'm on half day PM leave to go to Chinatown to soak up more of the CNY feeling.. haha Will be meeting Godma and Bro for a quick lunch then after that go walk arnd Chinatown liao.

Wonder what can I buy and what to buy?? hahaha.. later go n spend $ shiok!! I love spending $$... but hate the paying of credit card bills part lor.

Hubby today told me to buy him the sugar gummy sweets.. he like a small boy like to eat this kinda stuf.. haha.. ok lar.. to make him happy so that I can get my Guess? watch and maybe Chiang Mai trip... please him lor.. hahaha

ALso this morning, I also very happy lar, besides settling most of the work for this WHOLE week, I called up the Maybank and request for wavier of my annual fees. The lady say ok, as long as from now onwards, i have 24 transactions per year.. THis 1 easy lar.. hahaha..

Briefing yesterday, today and next week!! Yesterday 1 session, today 4 sessions!! Goodness, I am gng to loose my voice if this carries on (b4 the mad hse!!!) Argg....

Repeat and repeat the same thing over and over. Shout and talk shout and talk and say the same thing over and over till I am quite sick of it myself! How on earth can i do this over and over?

I certainly hope the students who are listening to me or the others know and remember what on earth they need to do!!! Gosh... Looking at the way they behave... I certainly pray for the best.

In kinda forget how the sunset looks... havent been gng home before 7 pm anyway..

Finally on the way home ...

Woah... today is a rainy day... since last nite rain till tonite still raining.. wah.. n admist all the water, thunder & lighting, my mum is discharged today... made my way there in the rain. Hubby din go coz he went back to office to work.. sucks right! Sunday!!!

By the time i reach there, my youngest sis and my mum's good friend were already there... then another long wait.. nurse say wait for doc and med.. hai... waste of my time... luckily I brought along the German Suduku mag to idle away time.

Sometimes i really cannot stand my mom. Early this morning.. well.. not so early lar.. arnd 10.. called and told me that she can be discharged... I was getting ready to go CTK and then tell me almost a sob story of she being discharged in hospital the previous times and non of the family members come only this good friend come and that now tat we so big she getting discharged we shd go.. sucks lor.. she will only tell me this and not to my other sis. At times like this I really feel that i hate her lor!!! Gosh!! I hv 2 other sisters, granted that the youngest 1 is still too young but I hv a sister in the UNI!!! Argg!!!! Just coz I do not raise my voice and give her a face to c, she sort of like 'bully' me i feel. Hai...

Anyway, she is already at home and resting lar.. hope that no more visits to the hospitals.. but I think no chance lor.. coz her Op still got to be schuduled lor.. sigh...

Went for mass at 5.30 pm and met Kenneth.. sat nt to him.. and he was surprised to me alone lor.. hahahaha...

3rd home in SGH??

Hai... coz of my mum's sudden admittance to SGH, I seemed to be running there like every alternate days?! This kind of visits is really irriating! Esp when u c her lying there and she is ok just that the stopid doc, nurses seems to be taking happiness in keeping there as long as possible and after all the tests n scans n X-rays, there is nothing being said or told to us.

Whenever we asked, we are told to wait!! Goodness.. got to wait how long more? She has already been here for almost a week! And we also decided to not upgrade her bed since the moment we upgrade, we got to pay more right from DAY 1! What for waste the $ on this kinda hospital right? Continue to stay in class C then!

Raining when i went there earlier. She seems ok but on drip.. coz she said since midnight last night din eat anything till 3 pm today? Y? Coz wait for the scans n x-rays!!! Gosh... waited so long and w/o food... no wonder she feel weak! N now got to put on drip. More costs lor.

Lousy Hospital!!!

What a start for 2006!!!

Sucks!!

Been gng to SGH after work, between work and rushing for Mad Hse all the time..

Mum still in SGH. Doc says lump in throat is ok.. mothing serious = not cancerous. Priase Lord. But cavity in lungs n need mre tests.. These few days are tests, tests wait wait.. sian leh..

When on earth can she get out of the darn hospital?!

N meanwhile, me stuck at work coz so many things of mad hse to do! But i finished it liao lar... staying here n writting blog.

1st day of 2006 ...

Well, today is the 1st day of 2006 and guess where i spent the night? Not in the arms of my hubby as I wld love to, but in SGH!!! =(

Hai.... mum called at 1.30+ am n says tat her lump @ throat is painful.. want to go c doc... but hello, countdown n parties n holidays where got doc?? SO i told her either Tues or A&E now.. She say now.. ok lor.. changed and went out wif hubby lor..

Took a cab to SGH A&E & wait lor.. hai... fm the 2+am we reached all the way till 6am!! Gosh.. I can literally feel my eye bags n panda eyes!!!

No mood to write anything... update another time..

Another party?!

Wah.. today i sneak off fm work... to go to boss's hse warming party leh...

I carried a file, sneak to Sak's office and then fm there, we went to Stepf's hse and then to Boss's hse...

Stepf's hse v v spacious n designer feel.. though not 'showflat' pattern, it's comfy. She's so upset ov the maid.. hai..

Then we went to boss's hse.. his hse compared to Stepf's is smaller lar.. but still not too bad.. The moment we came to his door, i saw something tat make me feel even closer to boss.. n tat is the crucufix he hang on the door. =) c liao happy lor..
His altar big leh... got 1 statue of the Holy Family.

Then go BBQ at the poolside and buffet... not bad leh.. hahahah.. mre of the male ka kia's came lar... but i left early coz it's Friday... = RCIA night..

Stepf drove me to the nearest LRT.. n fm there i took train n bus to CTK.

Surpringsly, Alfie was here too!! After class, we went kopitiam.. was later joined by others... was such a long long long time ago that we had fellowship together.. really enjoyed it..

Merry Christmas!!! Ho! Ho! Ho!

Merry Christmas!!!

Today is Christmas! So fast!

Last nite's carol was great!! They sort of did a slide show and had a speaker read some line.. wow... It was great!!! Hubby says it was Fr. Yim doing the behind the screen reading... and upon closer listening. I think hubby is right! It was fanastic!!!

Today is gonna be a rather bz day for me. Gng to 1 of the forummer's hse. Coz he having his hse warming today in the afternoon. Heng, got sme other forummers come our hse then we can take their car and go to Vic's hse in Sembawang. Wisely & her hubby came, Eve and her hubby also came. Supposed to have Cheryl and her hubby too but last min caught doing something again so they not coming. Instead we all meet at Vic's hse later.

Saved our stomachs for the lunch.. hahaha.. so we din prepare anything for them to eat except drinks lor.

Vic's hse is so big!! Wow.. no wonder it is exec... i like his hall.. got space for cosy corner and his master bed rm.. also big leh... after putting in a King size still got lots of rm!! Spacious!

We din stay long there coz we are expecting my parents and sisters to come ov to our hse for dinner. So on the way back, we went to Yishun to pick up the food that we previously ordered at Cold Storage. Heavy leh!! Never knew that a chicken, a ham, sausagges and 2 bottles of sparkling juice will be so heavy!!! Gosh.. Heng hubby was there. I was prepared to go and pick it up myself!!

Once back, took a quick shower, rest a while and then to work liao. Though the food is cooked, still need to heat it up lar.. coz i dont think my guests appreciate cold food.. On top of that, I also made some potatoe salad and pasta in case the food not enough. Turns out, MORE than enough.

1st time they having dinner at my plc. Was fun.. chit chat and laff at my mother... she so sua ku... hahahahaha.. They brought fruits over so after dinner, we had fruits and i also had almond jelly with longan.. so they had that too.

I thought we cld just stay there for a longer evening and chat lor.. since really no chance to do it... but I also dont know good or bad.. MIL called and say tat her sisters (my now new aunties in law) want to come over to our plc.. when my parents and sisters heard that, they say they leave lor... abit of a bumber lor... sigh...
anyway, they did leave and in an hours time, the aunties came over with their kids and hubby(s) even grandma came! Wow.. surprise.

They quite ok lar... the aunties and uncles sit there and chat.. What i dont like was tat 1 of the kids started jumping on my sofa!!! Sucks!!! Coz they not my side of the relatives, I cannot say anything.. so I just look at hubby lor. He like a block of wood!! Just stand there and din do or say anything!!! I so pissed.. But still hv to maintain the 'gracious' hosts and say nothing!!! Arggg.....

I hope CNY they not coming. Not coz i not hospitable. But coz i simply dont like kids to jump on sofas or beds!! If they behave, it's ok!

And i really wish PIL will stop calling 1 hour in advance and then say the relatives are coming... But then again, maybe this is the 1st year we got married and they've never seen our lovenest so they are all eager to look and c. If's tat's the case, then i wish they will do it to all my BIL! Fair mar. =)

Few mre hours to Christmas! =)

In just a few hours time, Christmas will be here! So exciting!

This is the 1st Christmas that hubby and me are spending as husband and wife. =) We were wondering if we should go out and eat, buy something special home to eat or to cook. In the end, laziness win, we just went downstairs to the coffeeshop, bought a spring chicken to share with some drinks. Simple, no frills and fancy dinner.

Earlier today was a horriable experience. Coz we were lazy, so we delayed gng to Pine Gardens to take the cakes that we had ordered for Godma and Bro. By the time we reach there was like 10 mins to 5pm. So after we gave the order form to the boss, we waited for some1 to come out with our cakes and we can then go.

Horrors.. the wait turned out to be almost 1 hour!!! It was so irriating!!! The shop was cramp, hot and small!!! N on 1 cld tell us y we waited and waited and waited. I wanted to scream and shout and kill some1.. but having the thoughts tat Christmas is rnd the corner, I hold all my thoughts and just wait... and hah! Finally the cakes came out. The boss told us coz 1 of the cakes was short of 1 mini log so they got to bake it then and there. I hope it tastes even nicer lor since it is so fresh! hrmph... =(

Went hm.. bathe and had the spring chicken dinner. Halfway, Godma came to my plc with our christmas presents. hee... she bought us a lovely small fruit cake a nice halter top for me... and u know wat?? She's kinda naughty this year.. she bought me a VS hot pink panty too... hahahahahaha.. shd come in useful if we need sme species in the bed rm.. hahahahahahaha

After dinner, settled dw to watch TV and later will be gng off to midnight mass in church. The moment the mass starts, it will be Christmas!!

Pre Christmas celebrations =)

Today is the last Friday before Christmas. Time flies by so fast and in just a matter of hours, we will be celebrating the "birth" of Christ. Yeah, "birth" coz it is not the actual birthday of Christ, but just a day that the church has placed aside to symobolise it. What a bumper when I firt knew it! All along, I was thinking, wah... Christmas, Birth of Chirst.. But then again guess that my 1 year of Catacheism class has clarifiy it.

Anway, yest in office (after I came back from accompanying my granny to the hospital) there was a Christmas lunch celebration. Kinda early for Christmas coz now I am back at my puter and working away. But no choice lar.. Good lunch! We had, ham, sandwich, char bee hoon, soup, garlic bread and also home baked cake. Sounds like a feast ya?? Well, it is!

Then after the yummylicous lunch, we had a gift exchange. Was fun.. In the end I got an elephant shaped CD pouch and also a box of chocoloates. Not sure if it is tasty though too full from the lunch to eat right away.

And tonite there will be another feasting, coz having dinner at YWCA, this time is the RCIA Christmas dinner. So many of my own class ppl are not gng.. Sian.. but nvm lar, since we paid up we go and enjoy ourselves. Anway it is for fellowship and to just have a good dinner together. =)
