My Thoughts @ My Feeling @ My Day

Honeymoon Day 2

Honeymoon Day 2 - Carins

As our flight is not a direct flight, we have to transit at Melbourne. The transit period is for 5 hrs! We reached Melbourne (their time) at 430am..and waited and waited till about 9am+ for our connecting flight to Carins..damn sleepy.

At Melbourne airport. Its only 12 degree.

The cab fare in australia is very expensive! The ride from airport to our motel is a mere 15 mins and it cost us AUD30+! Carins accomodation is the cheapest one which we have booked for our entire Aust trip. At first, i was still afraid that it would be quite bad. But lucky it turns out pretty good. Clean and spacious.

As we still have a bit of time left after we check-in, we decided to go to the local supermarket to buy some food/snacks. Then we saw this :

Haa, didnt expect to see such chinese food in their supermarket!

And this too!

Their supermarket close at 6pm, thus we got to rush thru our shopping. Dinner for the nite is roast chicken, garlic bread and chips.

Introducing ..... Mr house-husband..hee

My first bag of chips in months!!!!!!

Honeymoon Day 1

Honeymoon Day 1

Notting much to blog about on day 1 as we were still in Rasa till early afternoon. After we checked out, we went straight to the bank to deposit our Ang baos. It took the lady almost 45 mins to finish counting the notes using the machine! Then we rush home to finish packing the last bit of our luggage. Our flight was at 745pm and we almost missed the flight due to the huge jam at PIE. When we checkin, the lady said that we were lucky as they were just closing the checkin counter! Phew..

After the mad rush, we can finally relax on the plane.

Our 1st overseas trip together (alone)

Luckily they have the individual inflight entertainment, so at least we can watch movies/play games to kill the time..we were however too tired and slept thru most of the flight :P

Post honeymoon

I still feel rather weird after the wedding. Still cant believe the fact that i am married and am no longer a Miss, but rather a Mrs or a Mdm. It feels odd to call law my huddy rather than my bf and my in-laws, pa and ma rather than uncle and aunty. Lots of things to get used to.

Honeymoon

HELLO! I am back!!!!!! Had a fantastic wedding and honeymoon. Lots of photos to sort out in the mean time. Will take a while thou, so please be patient ok :P We just landed last night. No doubt its a short 13 days trip, we are still jet lag (3 hrs diff ) and its so hhhhooooottttt in singapore! Temp at Sydney on avg is about 10 degree and when we were up at Blue mountains, its a mere 4 degree...faint..

Finally

I am finally on leave! Been a lloonnggg awaited leave. Counting down to my AD :P 9 more days..

Suntan

Hai, as you know, I have been trying to keep out of the sun for like wat? A yr and a half...but I just dun seems to get any fairer...been skipping diving trips, carrying umbrella (ya i went to that extend), putting on whitening mask etc..but ...still not fair ... been missing out alot of vitamin D! Cant wait for all these to be over and to go back to my normal suntaning days, facing the sea, on the sand and under the sun...wah..just by thinking of it really makes me missed it even more.. am really looking forward to our "action" packed honeymoon, with the diving, white water rafting, theme parks and hot air balloon. I would be saying HELLO to the sun, sand and sea right after my AD! Cant wait.. :D

Funny

A funny clip to lighten up the mood :)

Sick

I have been quite sick lately. Been to 2 docs but still cant recover. I am also sick of other things. Sick sick sick sick sick.....

I am:

- sick of everyone who kept coming to ask me about the eaudit system leaving me no peace to do my work.

- sick of clients who always tell me "later then i do" but nv once do it

- sick of being ignored and feels like talking to a wall

- sick that wat i did was not appreciated and not even a word of thanks

- sick that i need to be the one doing the thinking and reminding

- sick of nagging and nagging

- sick of posing me a question and expect me to know the answer

- sick of telling me "dunno" when obviously no serious tots have been put into the question

Anyone got the xian(1) tan(1) to help me out? :(

Wah, it has been half a month since i last update my blog..but actually nothing happened much for these 2 weeks. Been busy conducting courses as well as to strike off the To-do items off my wedding list.

Back in Apr 08, during the Her World Bridal Fair, we signed up for a couple spa package with The Ulitmate as at special price. At that time, we are planning to g for the spa just a few or 2 before our wedding, to have a good massage, relax and sleep off the stress away. Thus yesterday, Law was off and i off leave so that we can go for this couple spa. It consist of body scrub (fresh yogurt, lemon, rice powder with secret blend of spices, 60 mins full body massage and couple detox hydro bath. Their scrub is unlike the one from Body Wellness (my another spa package) whereby the scrub was pre-made and is just spread on your body and scrub. The scrub at Ultimate is being blend while you are there, spread on your body and a scurb glove would be wore before the mixture is being scrub off your body. Find that this is a welll better body scrub than those pre-made scrub and the skin definitely feels smoother and softer. We also requested for a couple room for the massage and also the hydro bath,

The Ultimate is on the top floor of Shaw Center. Last time it used to be Inner Harmony.

Think there is something wrong with either my laptop, my browser, home connection, or its just simply somthing wrong with blogspot. I cant seems to load "post" page correctly in the past 2 weeks..got lots of things to blog and update but with little time. In addition to this irritating blogspot, it totally crush my eagerness to blog anything at all... will try again soon. Should be slightly more free next week. Sorry for the lack of posts.

29 Jul 09

Time really flies. Today marks our 4th anniversary. Almost didnt manage to get my leave as i was on the eAudIT training for the whole week. But becos of today, i purposely arranged all my training to be on mon and tue so that i can still go on leave today. It has been a very tough 2 days.

Didnt plan any activities for today. Just see where Ah dear wanna go. Hee..he surprise me with a bouquet of white roses delivered to my house. Thanks dear! Love it!

Hee, me with my melody and my flowers :P

Lunch was at my fav loh mee store at Seah Inn hawker.

Yummy!

After that, we headed to Sky Bar where Fendi treated us to some drinks.

Specially made by him. My drink and my preparer.

Guess where is this place??

Had a relaxing afternoon, just sitting ard for drinks. In the evening, we headed to Bugis village where we collected our jie mei dresses. Then we went to the new shopping center opposite Bugis Junction. Cant remember its name. There is a super long escalator that goes from the 1st floor to its 4th floor.

Mid way

See how far down it is

Dinner was at Manthana Fish Market

Waiting for food

Finally its here!

That is a very huge glass of ice tea

Their award winning flaming prawns

Our platter for 2

Both of us have been very stress and busy with work lately. Today was a well spent day, doing nothing but relaxing over drinks at Sky Bar. :D Needed more of such days :P

Sorry for the lack of post lately. Had been super busy with work. As some of you should have heard me grumbling before, i am being "arrowed" to be one of the so call "champion" in my firm to roll out the eAudIT thingy. And am suppose to conduct trainings to train my colleagues on it. So for the past few weeks, have been busy attending training (for the course), then training (to learn how to present and train ppl) and work on projects with regards to the eAudIT. Even need to act in short clips... -_-" all these are done in addition to my normal work... tsk tsk tsk..really cheap labour leh..so my wedding prep..haha has been put on hold. For these coming week, am gg to start our 1st run of training other ppl..am very stress over it..asked me to speak to a small grp of ppl ok..ask me to speak infront of camera ok...but asked me to speak infront of a class!!! hai...stress stress stress stress and more stress...

Looking forward to wednesday as i am on leave on wed and my training modules have been squeezed into 2 days (ie i have to present more in these 2 days then go on leave on wed). So ie after tue, i should be stress free and can enjoy my leave on wed (its our anniversary!!) :D Then i should return to normal next week, and gg back to be stress again during national day week as the week after that (17th aug week), i have another run of training to do...hai...watever..

Busy day

Alot of things happened today. Firstly, i manage to despatch 2 sets of accounts out in the morning. While working on a 3rd set of accounts, Vera came over to tell me that she needed me and Dennis to do some filming for the eAudIT project that we have been working on since May. My first impression was like "What! I am here, rushing my accounts, without enough time on hand and now you still want me to go do some stupid filming..." But she being the manager..so once arrowed, i cant say no right. At least Dennis is gg to be my "co-actor" ..lol.. together with Art (another dept colleague), the 3 of us waited nervously for the camera crew to arrive.

The "scene" took place in the Zen room (which is just beside where the secretaries are sitting). We have altogether 3 scenes to act. It took us almost 2 hrs to finish these 3 scenes! Cos just one "act" has to repeat at least 4 times with the camera man taking from different angles. And there are scenes where we just cant stop laughing! The most excited scen is when Art has to purposely spill the coffee onto the table. We took a lot of precautions to prevent the real files getting soiled by th coffee. Its a 1 take thing. Cannot cut. Art was so pressurized ..lol.. Anyway, we had fun for that 2 hrs. Even thought a bit time consuming, but at least it was able to release some stress that i have been bearing.

Another thing that happened this morning was tat Daphne msg me telling me that she cant be my jiemei for my wedding le cos her granny has passed on yesterday. Gal, its ok and i am sorry to hear about our granny. But at least she is not suffering anymore. Do take care ya. We shall catch up again with the rest and discuss about our Bintan trip. :)

Pukka ice cream

Law and i have been patronizing this ice cream shop called "Pukka" at Clementi. Its behind NUS where the famouse Nasi Lemak store is. The flavour of their ice cream is very rich. Strongly recommend their durian flavour (which is produced out of real durian meat and not just durian flavour) if you are a durian lover. Tried their rum and rasin too, but find their rum too strong. Mango is not bad too, but our all time fav is the durian! They have a website:

Feast

After the very filling steamboat dinner on Sat, we had a relative gathering at our place on Sun-lunch. Think this gathering was on of those with the MOST food. There were really ALOT of food. Let the pics shows you.

Freshly killed and washed crabs

Think this is called "Leather Jacket".Its a kind of fish and tasted extremely good especially with the chilli paste!!!

Roast chickens

My aunty cooking sambal prawns

Its delicious. This aunt always has good recipe for different types of chilli

Then came the fruits - DURIANS!

BASKETS of cherries

BOX of mangoes

PS: there are still lots of other food, but blogspot seems to be quite weird lately..screen keeps getting hanged..thus decided to drop the rest of the photos and just upload these.

Trishelle's 2nd yr birthday

Trishelle is 2 years old last sat (20 Jun) ! To mark her 2nd yr in life, we had a mini celebration, which was steamboat at my sis's place (i just love home-cooked steamboat!!) As sis would be busy bringing Trishelle out to enjoy her day, we are tasked to get the food for the steamboat. We went to Giant at IMM. When we reached IMM, passed by a shop and saw THIS:

How can i resist not buying it right! Especially its my fav char!! Cute!

It will be my new "huggie" mate in Law's car. Happy with my melody... :P

Constantly reminding ourselves not to buy too much food (tends to do that for steamboat), we left IMM after a full 3 hrs of shopping..

The princess is awake when we reached. Posing with yi yi here :P

First time in our steamboat history, we managed to finish all the food!

Its was pouring outside when we were having the steamboat. Just nice!

Last year was Strawberry Shortcake theme and this year was Winnie The Pooh theme.

A very happy Trishelle with her pretty cake.

Lau Kor

My long "lost Kor" suddenly msg me on Facebook last thursday! Was damned suprise to receive his msg via facebook. Actually to be true, i shouldnt be suprise, cos after all we got to know each other thru mirc when i was like 17~18 yrs old. That was like 10 years back when its the "IN" thing to chat online then.

At that time, got to know a group of good buddies throught the chat room...cant remember the name of the chat room thou...and particularly close to Lau kor. Being 9 yrs older than me, we could really click and he did always provide me with good advices. Even just now when we were msning, i started pouring out to him some of my problems and he started giving advices alr..lol.

Kor, am really glad that i got back in contact with you :)

Btw, kor has become his own boss :) and opened a collector's items toy shop. Please go to the link below for his blogsite or click on the link which i have set up on the address bar. I am sure he would be able to give very good price.

Dad's birthday

Been a long time since we last went out for a meal together as a family. And for this occassion, its to celebrate my dad's 60th bday! Me and sis decided to treat the whole family to Cafe Biz at Trader's hotel. There are quite a variety of food, but quality wise, its ok only. Only love their laska and garlic bread :P
