WEdding

May 10 was the customary wedding of Candice and Michael. They had a morning traditional tea ceremony plus a late afternoon solemnisation at Little Bali! The day started off with heavy rain in the early morning. Luckily it stops when the sun came out. Let the photos do the talking :)

Guys..

Guys...wat can i say about guys?? For one thing, i think Law behaves more like a gal than a guy (lol..think he is gg to kill me when he reads this). He can multi-task better than me, he change topics even faster than i do, he can go into a shopping center, intending to buy 1 particular item, but spent an hr inside looking at other things. Then this morning, he sms me at 5.50am saying he is on his way home...i was obviously still sleeping then, and i was wondering "what the hell"....then i remembered that he went supper with his colleague last night after work. Imagine, 2 guys, having supper and sitting there chit chatting from 12 midnight all the way to 6am!! Thats a freaking 6 hrs chat! What can 2 guys chat about for the whole night!? I dun think i am able to do that (also considering the fact that i am not a very chatty person), but 6 solid hrs...for 2 guys! I just think that its unbelievable...faint..

Extraordinary wedding

I was so busy lately (with work and getting the necessary arrangement and things done for my bridal photoshoot) that time flew past me and i didnt have time to do or remember other matters. Michell msn me this afternoon saying that i won the contest from extraordinary wedding. I was like "huh, wat contest?" At that time, i just finished an 5 and a half hours AC meeting with my client and my brain was still thinking about the matters discussed in the meeting. Then...i remembered..its a contest whereby we are suppose to send in a so call interesting photo plus to do a small write up on our dream wedding. After that, my 2nd qn is, how come Michell know that i won but i myself dunno!? Lol...she knew because she was one of the winners too (congras ya)! We didnt win the main prize (as usual..-_-"), but we are one of the top 30 most interested couple photos being selected. Was happy and full of anticipation when i am logging onto the website to see wat prize we got..ended up, its just some discount vouchers..lol. Quite useless as we have already booked most of the things needed for our wedding. Below is the website stating the various discount vouchers that we have won and the winning photos. Let me know if you are interested in any of the vouchers ya?

Promotion

Just had a talked with my managers regarding this year’s apprasial. Apparently, due to the recession and bad business, this year’s promotion would be very much stricter..so they told me that I wont be promoted this year…there are a few more reasons (abt me) of why am I not promoted, but I am not going to mention it here. So without the promotion, without the OT leave..where does that leave me at? Very demoralised now…who would lend me a shoulder to cry on…

Lunch at Harris

Yesterday, we had a farewell lunch with my manager at Harris (opposite our office). Its my first time there even though the restuarant has been there like forever le! The food are quite good and so is the ambience.

All of us except Sarah had fish and chips. Their fish are quite special in that it came in small strips instead of the normal 2 big pcs. In addition, their fish are quite soft and fresh too. Love it!

Sarah had blue cheese burger!

Sophia, our manager is leaving le..sob sob..gg miss her!

Sakea

Met up with Jovis for a dinner cum gossip session on Wednesday night at Sakae @ UOB Plaza. Didnt know there is a Sakae there till she told me! And guess what, we went straight for the buffet! Jovis is my polymate and her AD is 2 days after mine. And somemore, we had the same BS! Thus there are lots to talk and to complain about (our BS)..lol

Nice udon

Err..we dun really seems like 2 btb who are gg to take our PS next month... :P Look at the amt of food we are eating!!

Nice meeting up with Jovis. Hoped to do that more often..erm of cos minus the heavy meal.

Anilao Diving trip

We had a great 4 days 3 nights diving trip at Anilao! Its my BEST dive trip that i have ever been too. BEST food, BEST accomodations, BEST services and most important of all, BEST company! Really. Its that good! Even though the trip did dig a whole out of my pocket, but its absolutely worth it! No regrets at all.

Our day typcially runs in this way:

Morning wake up --> buffet breakfast --> 2 dives in the morning --> buffet lunch with desserts --> nap for abt an hr (depending on how long we chat during lunch time) --> 1 afternoon dive --> 1 night dive --> bathe --> buffet dinner with desserts --> Martin (one of our DM) will entertain us with his nightly magic trick *chuckles* --> room serivce massage --> sleep!

I gained weight during this trip! How not to right! Its really a relaxing trip, with no rush for diving unlike dayang. Dayang is like, rush there, dive and rush back. No break and very tiring. But Anilao, its simply lazing ard, go for dive, being fed with good food, nap then more dives. Really miss the trip now :( In addition, the marina life we saw here were unlike in Dayang. What we see at Dayang which is consider as rare, are plentiful here. Not sure if i would be gg back to Dayang after this trip :P only make sense to save more and go for further trips. Overall grading for Anilao dive trip, 10 stars!!!

Our first flying trip together

Our suprised bday boy

On the plane

At last we reached the resort

Those are our dive boats.Cool huh!

Lots and lots of delicious food!

Fav dessert

Fav breakfast : delicious pancakes! They come in the form of mango pancakes, banana pancakes, but my fav is the original ones. Even better than Mcdonald's hotcakes.

And of cos a whole range of nudibranches

There are just so many that i stopped taking photos of them after a while.

Of cos there are also lots other lovely corals :D

Charlie's angels

Then who is Charlie???



Love their sunset

As its a rule that within 18 hours of taking plane, we are not suppose to dive. Thus our last dive ended on Fri night and our flight is on Sat night. Thus we had a whole day to ourselves on Sat. Jon suggested we visit mount Tagaywa.

Took a group photo on our last day. Only 6 out of 14 of us left early on sat. The rest only came back to Singapore on Mon. Haa, you can see, those in wet suits are those who stayed on.

On the way there, we saw this castle. Its some sort of theme park i think

At last we are here, Taal volcano

The whole group of us who left early

Enjoying a quiet moment together

Their very colourful fruit store.

Time flies and soon we are going home :(

As there was a revision in the airport tax, in the end we are short of Peso and we havent had any dinner yet. So we dig out whatever peso we have left with and see how much we got.

Its such a pethatic scence...hao..see Aree going to cry alr..lol

In the end we got 2 packets of chips and 2 bottles of mineral water to share among the 6 of us...hai..

In the end we bought the super expensive cup noodles on board which cost S$4/cup!

That ends our 4 wonderful days of rest, relax and play holiday!! For more photos, please visit my facebook. :)

Anilao

Greeting from the sunny land of Anilao!! Yes Am logging in from the dive resort using Jon's lappie. There is only 1 word to describe my experience here. Its BEST!! My best dive experience, best dive sites, best accommodation, best services and best food!!!! Dinner is by the sea, under the starlight sky with soft music in the background and candles at the table. Its just marvelous here. Just one more day and we would be back in Singapore. So not looking forward to it...will post more and plus photos when i am back!!

Piscasa

Testing on Piscasa program.

Home alone

In my 20 over years of life, i have never been home alone..at least not over night. But from today onwards and for a continuouse of 6 nights, i would be staying at home..alone :( Why? Cos my whole family, together with my sis, BIL and niece have gone to Hong Kong for holiday. I didnt manage to get leave thus didnt join them :(

It feels weird actually..to be home alone. Have to remind myself to off all the lights, close all the windows and lock the door when i leave the house. Law keep saying that this is a good training ground for our future. Hai..that doesnt seems too promising hor.. :P

Anyway, before they are back, i am off to Anilao for diving. Looking forward to it! Its a break that i have waiting for a llooonnnngggggg time.
