Helppppppppppppppp!

i dont know which dress to wear!!!

dumb

Feeling dumb at work today. Doing nothing of accounting nature but to do travel booking (everyone is flying!), to following up on some admin thingy and to prepare payment. No-brainer job today. Feeling damn bimbo. How accomplishing can booking air tickets, compare ticketing price, routing schedules and booking hotels be hard? This is supposed to be done by the xmm in my office. Apparently, she made so much wrong booking that my director decides that i am a better person for this job.

So today is net surfing time.

Dear just let news that he is gonna to be busier as many of the sales and product managers left. Hence he is left with many products to handle. Much more than he is currently doing. No more of sending me home from work he says. But he will try to make it cause its his job.. hee hee I sound so spoilt! So i promise him that i will try to learn to be more indep from now on...

Cross fingers

yes yes yes!

yes!
i love my 3 boys
i love daddy mummy
i love my life
i love my work
i love everything!

wooohooo!~

too much errands in a day

woke out at 11am and had to rush to HDB to sign our lease agreement for jadespring.. finally.. after such long long wait we get to sign the lease agreement already. still feeling stone from the late night watching of tvb drama ... i soo drag myself and dear drove us to hdb hub... took our Q number and had to sit by the sofa... not much of the excitement cos it not the 1st time we are there are we draggggggg the long long wait for our house to get ready. babe is more excited with the viewing of punggol sapphire and looking at the flat, she almost wanna slap herself for not getting the unit... we had always tot 5rm flat is of 4 rooms.. till today then we know that it consist of 3 bigger bedrooms instead with a option to build a study room... the other 4room units look really similar to our current purchase and just by looking at them... we hunger for our long wait again... after the signing of many many pages ... we went for a smoke and babe actually told us that there is a showroom! they actually actually built 5rm, 4rm, 3rm and 2rm within the hdb hub itself! sooo cool! we head straight up there and went up to the 4rm.. wow! wow woo us! the floor area is 90m sq and it seriously seems big... guess its due to the ID of the house... so ours being 97m sq, should be slightly bigger... love the idea of the whole house.. not that bad!! the more we tour the flat, the more we itch for our 4rm to come quick...  

head off to fort canning after that to view places where we can hold our makan for our werid timing... decide on the chinese food at legends ... although the restaurant is only open at 6.30pm.. the lady was nice enough to let me have the room at 4.30 and open the place just for us. so nice of them.. they could not cfm till 6pm so we decide to head to paragon and taka to check out the places... dear wants presentable place.. so imperial restaurant is KIV till legends call.. 

went to people's park to book our bintan trip... so 1 thing down!

going there on 5 sep morning and heading back in the afternoon on sun.. mon on leave to nua with the kids... wahahaha 

legends called at 6 to cfm that their chef is willing to cook for us... wahahaha dad nv like to drive around so guess its really a good place to hang out! best part, we got the whole place to ourselves lah..

so now we got everything done up... so phewww!! the last part is flowers for hand bouquet... planning to head to 85 market on sat for our flowers...

lucky in love...

been following up on blogs of a few friends. some close ones. some whom i do not know at all yet being a slient reader.reading how many are recovering from heart break, i guess i am lucky that things in my life turn out great.i had my shares of sucky men. most hurt me while i hurt some, after all the pain, i had thought that things will never tun out good again.planning to survive the rest of my life with frens, drinks and dt.. now threw away the drinking, i got dt, dx and a hubby to be where i would be with always.i hope all these dont end.. i really hope so..

not much time!

went praying dear's dad and relatives on sat morning... think i woke up too early hence had to spend the rest of the morning in stone mode. the later part of the afternoon were spent at his cousin's for fortune telling... surprisingly, both his and my fate are very similar. almost the same in many aspects. his cousin says its because we are fated to be husband and wife and judging from our fate, we had a phase in my forties and his fifties where we might sink into a depressing stage and we might be in a different stage of life. nothing to do with 3rd party but the way we communicate. a new form of communication might happen. and during our forties, we will be in a stage of change properties in many hands. good or bad no one will know till the day come. she also told us that we will have 1 to 2 kids... kids of strong character.. which is a combination of my stubborn-ness and his bad temper. i guess my nightmare came thru of creating monsters!! eeeeeeeeks! we are suppose to be enjoying our golden years together ... at least a good sign. one thing fun where she pointed out is me better in logistic line. we did not tell her that daddy is in that industry and she pointed it out to me! scary!! we will just see how things go i guess.

ending the meet up at 5, i felt sick. giddiness and puking. we decide to drive back and he bathe xiong xiong... dear even brush that notti boy of ours... not bad of being a good dad i suppose.. i spent the night snoring through and waking up for the occasional stir... 

dear do not need to work today.. lucky him! coy gave him a day off for the national day holiday... but i got a extra day in my listing. hence i had to head back to work. the 1st time heading to work on my own. without dear driving me.. i had to squeeze the pack bus and mrt.. so grrr.... i miss car ride.... lolz. 

at least on the bright side, there is no need for work tomorrow as i got the leave to sign the lease agreement for our yishun BTO... finally! a chance to sign the lease agreement for jade spring.. the much waited and anticipated wait ...  wonder how many more years will the building be up? 

since we are bringing the kids for grooming at the end of this mth, we might head to the green land and see how things goes...  hope they had started though...

since i was hardworking enough, i did a timeline till our ROM... after its done.. omg... we got less than a mth left! hi tea location is still pending.. no flowers and we had not book bintan trip... babe always says that we are sooo bo chap.. lolz.. i hate to agree on that... guess tml we have to be abit hardworking... to source for all the things..... 

boooo

dear dear did not wipe my hair dry for me for 2 days already...

sulk!

when life changes

ever since the "prepare for marriage" happens, i found that i got lesser and lesser times for friends... feeling guilty as ever, i am now putting in effort to meet friends.. people whom i love and hang out with and people who care for me... when life changes from single to attached. when life changes from attached to be married, the amount of outings actually reduces. inverse relationship i believe.. lolz! see! i even have got an equation for that!

the recent planning in ROM is kinda driving me nuts. not exactly difficult but i just had planning. planning for timing, planning for events and planning for everyone. i am the kind who goes with the flow and to do things i wish. lucky for me, dear puts in effort to do part of the work. everything is done up except for the idiot meal part. my timing is 3.20pm... should be hi-tea to follow right? except not much places open for hi tea at late afternoon on a thursday.. boo! 

any help is appreciated ok? pls pls... suggestions!!! i dont think i am the capable kind of person who can plan the whole ROM myself... so pls...... ideas ok????? dim sum at late afternoon... tell me where... i am thinking of ;

-din tai feng

-crystal jade

-yum cha

we are just so lost!!! 

Chef E rocks!

Ended the short weekend with good food at itchy’s place. Reached yishun at 5ish and up we went to the home of chef E. the smell is overwhelming… got us hungry at the sight of all the cooking… jo and jeff were there already.. helping out. Elaine was carrying doudou not letting him down.. zzzz .. when dou saw dt dx, you could see the happiness in his eyes! Lol! No matter what dx did, dou jus went for it.. playing with him and letting dx do his lion dance.. lolz! The only help that I had provided is to eat. Eat eat eat eat eat…. That’s the only thing that I am doing. Leaving the rest of the decent and dirty job with jo and itchy…! I am soooo unhelpful… what to do? I feel like a bull in the chinashop wherever I am in the kitchen. I could never never feel comfortable doing chores in the kitchen. Even with dear, he is always the one helping and cleaning up. Never me. Lolz.
Dou’s papa arrived slightly later and comes josie and her bf… that pretty auntie even had to arrive fashionably late and looking pretty..! boooo! CL and her hubby pop by later.. 1st time seeing them though but nonetheless, everyone click nicely…
Dx became the centre of attraction with everyone trying to dognap him… I wonder why.. that spoilt brat, so notti and spoilt, still so wanted by many… he is sooo fake! Lol
The star of the day are the food… omg… I drooled just thinking back what I had eaten! Risotto ( I never like rice but I had scoops and scoops 10/10), cod fish pastry (its 9/10) , potatos (9/10) and the all time fave, tiramisu (20/10) the dinner for today is like 10/10! None of my friends could cook as well as itchy and also none could cook soooo perfectly!
Had to carry myself home after staffing my face and shamelessly dabao… but I don’t care! Cause the food is sooo damn yummy!! Chef E rocks!

see how shag my boys are..

palawan!

Its Thursday! But nothing feels like it as it the qtrly recreation for our coy.. its my turn to plan we decide to head down for an afternoon of beach and sunshine and rain at Palawan beach! My team is of Marls and Ed… both members whom I had worked closely with before. Although it’s the 1st time planning, all went well! Ed and myself were kinda last min kinda persons and marls is the proactive, ks type. Lucky for us, with members so balanced, we had the games and budget planned well. All of us head off to Palawan in a taxi and due to the bright sunshine, many of us got into the mood to play.
With winners out from our game play, we ended the games at 4.30 pm. Giving everyone an hr and half for washing up. Many of us decided to stay on for a game of volley ball and continue playing. While the older generation went for washing up, we dragged till the last min, gotten ourselves filled with sand before we decide to unwillingly wash up. The night ended with us heading to vivocity for dinner at a thai restaurant. Seeing how everyone have different taste, our team took pride in preordering the food to suit the taste bud of everyone. So glad for the sporting sprit in all that the day and night ended up really well! I sooo miss the beach!

....... (no topic)

Had not had the chance for my bo liao updates. Dear had been hogging my poor lappy. Making it overworked.
For me, i hod the teebee insteady. For Zelda and for hk series. Which is of cause a better company.
Finally my period has come! After 2 months of period being lost and in pain in office... (which I get to steal the chance to work from home), my period finally come.. i finally bleed. Wahahha! For once i enjoyed the cramp!!! Heard that royal jelly is good to regulate period so dear got me a bottle which is supposed to help. Faithfully taking it now.

Last sat was happening. The meet ups of the family with his mum late for an hour due to the her dressing up! Hence we decide to up our time for our ROM from 3.20pm to 2pm. The dinner was fun! His mum talking to my parents and it ink dad and mum feel more at ease now that they had seen his family.. his mum love my parents so i think there will be another meet up.
The dinner lasted like till 10... all full and stuffed up our face... lolz!

Went for ah ma’s prayers for her 1 year.. started at 9am and by the time it ended, its really late... too much kneeling! Dear had to help out alot alot... got us both so shag that we KO once we went back! Even tennis is not so crazy!

Hmm now to set me thinking... i think i am busier on babe’s rom than mine... even mine, i did not worry or do so much things... i guess its always easier and less stress up to plan to somebody...

thankful

visited itchy new house today!!! omg .... its sooo pretty!!! the concept is pretty, the furnishing is pretty, everything is pretty!! the only complain is the lousy workmanship! the lousy paint work and the lousy lousy paintwork... lolz.. besides that its purfect!! good job itchy!!
DT make the place like his own, jumping onto bed and sofa and going to the toilet to pee... way before bbb do that!! wahahaha
ate dinner at itchy's island.. OMG! its so magazine-ish! i love the high stool.. at least my big butt would not feel like its falling off!
jo and jeff arrive abit later, but being having to go to movie late in the night, we had to leave them within 10 mins... anyway, they did not want to sayang my dx.. booooooooooo wahahaha

when driving home, dear drove pass our green green land... finally, there are signs of having work to be done!! woohoo!! glad that its finally starting..

on the way back, i was really thankful for the good things that had happen in my life. if there is a GOD up there, i am thankful and i say my prayers daily.. for the good i had done, the bad i had done and the wonder things i have and still having in return...
thank you...

i do... 11/07/08

Had been nagging to dear about me not getting a “will u marry me?” no flowers, no ring.. no proposal.. I had been feeling sore about it and finding chances to “nag” for the lack of it.

Today he took me by surprise!

It’s the usual “lets go home for dinner” Friday. Nothing special or spectacular. Looking forward to homecook food by mummy… reached home and help out to lay the food on the tables, as I wanted to put a spoonful of rice into my mouth, dear covered my eyes and told me he got something for me! Not my birthday, not our anniversary… in my mind, I was thinking, FINALLY this guy is cooking something for me to eat! He had always claimed to be a good chef, but never lay his hands to cook for me. I thought he is up to something special!

Opened my eyes and I got the shocked of my life!! Flowers in 1 hand, a solitaire in another, down on his knees! I was lost for words! Dear asked, infront of dad and mum, “dear, will you marry me?” OMG! I backed off! Too lost for wonder, wanting to tear, laugh and not sure how to react! I looked around.. mum keep saying” faster lah! Accept leh!!!” I was still lost! I think I said “yes” omg… I remember he kissed me, I remembered we kissed and I cant remember much!! All too sudden, too much of a surprise and too lovely a surprise!!

Dear ‘s voice trembled when asking, I was too lost for words.. till now, since 8 hrs had passed, I am still shocked.. still surprised!!

Dear roped in kelvin , mum, dad and babe for this huge event! Kelvin and mum for the flowers to reach my place.. dad for all the point of contact and babe for choosing the perfect ring and having it fit me!

I am so shamelessly bliss!

I love the name of the solitaire, its True Love from SK… true love… awww…. With a cert attached to it, I don’t think it’s cheap. The cut is pretty and the ring fits perfectly.

Omg… I am still in surprise!!

I am feeling sooo shamelessly in love…

where my ring from... hee

my ring and flowers from him... sooo sweet!

bands!

finally! after rounds of shopping, rounds of gazing.. we settle on the celestials from goldheart! phew!!
comparing the price and diamond, dear felt that having the diamond is more worthwhile.. so hence i got a bigger diamond... lolz..

now jus waiting to collect the prized piece...

Went shopping with kb today!! Sad that vern baby cant make it... boooooooo! Make me sooo look forward to seeing u and u did not turn up!!

Hahaha picked 4 dresses to try and i like a chilli red one and a black and red chongsum one.... dear likes the white venus one which both me and kb don’t quite like... lucky for me, kb stood by my decision.. phew! Girl power!!!!

if i were her, i would have flared up already... booo!! lucky for us, its to our benefit that we manage a deal from the good old HDB... no need to go through all these ...

For better or woes?

With worldwide increase in the fuel prices, drivers are definitely affected badly.
Sympathies from other counties eg. Indonesia, china, Malaysia and many other countries had subdue the nations with the ability to reimburse the hike through cash rebates or reduced fuel hike or absorbing the fuel hike. In countries where its deemed to have riots and where its deemed to be unsafe, the least the government do is to pacify the people.
In Singapore, rather than to pacify the nation, to reimburse us, we had to face a higher fee. Higher fuel price hit, no pity yet we had to face more gantries, higher parking fees and a even higher fuel rate.

Is this fair? Or have we grown so coward that we had to endure the over laps of price increase, one layer after another? Or have our government take us for granted that they deemed its right to ride the hike on us and to push us further?
Don’t tell me about public transport; don’t try to advise me the usage. I have 2 dogs, tell me the pros of public transport and convince me to switch over.

Woes and helpless

Been sick... bad one

been badly coughing for the past 2 weeks... look like crap and seems like i had highly infected my whole office... everyone hates meeee booo!!

went to the doc and was told to stay away from work for 2 days... i had the plans to work from home but the med jus makes me sleepy.... snore....
spent the whole day and night sleeping. the med is doing wonders i muz say, making me doing nothing but dizzy the whole time.

the boys are really happy for mummy to be at home cos its "come out and play the whole day" time. dx is the happiest! irritating kor kor all the way and got snap.. but he enjoyed it lah, the itchy boy.

for concern peeps, i had not start my rom preparations at all! my boobs are too huge to fit into those dresses and it suxs lah! i am sooo grouchy! we are planning a short getaway right after the dinner thingy so there are lotsa of things to get. lucky i got my photo / vidz and make up already. the rest are in a blur... even picking dinner venue is sooo diffcult! i tink we are jus plain lazy. but its really a chore...
