Tired...
i noe its difficult over at his end. how about me? am i not suffering here too? i'm not the one who agreed to go over. i'm not the one who gets to visit different places. he promised to save up for our future. i didnt make any noise at the trips he made but why, why cant he just give in a bit to me..
i'm tired.. tired till death of all these nonsensical quarrels.

Wedding Bells... Ding Dong... Ding Dong...
Yes!! We're getting married!!!(but he hasn't proposed yet)
Ro and I visited Rasa Sentosa on 8th November for the wedding venue. we're really kiasu coz we wanted to ensure that we will be able to secure the place for our wedding on 10th Oct 2010!
we were supposed to meet the events manager at 12 but we were late. ro says its my fault but i beg to differ :P in any case we reached at 1230 but kelvin, the events mgr only came to meet us at 1245. he's late too! heehee..
first, he brought us to see the reception area, which is just next to the lobby. i like that as people would be directed to the respective areas once they reached the hotel by shuttle bus. then, he showed us the pavillion. there was a set up for a company dinner for 90pax and the room is still spacious enough to sit another 40 pax without being blocked by the pillar. in any case we will be holding a buffet lunch thus everyone is encouraged to walk about. the pavillion is spacious and bright due to the full glass walls that overlooks the sea. from the pavillion, you would be able to see the nice scenery surrounding rasa sentosa. you will b able to see the beach, the pool and the very nice design of the hotel. the only minus point is the low ceiling but kelvin says that once the lights are on, the ambience is enhanced. ro and i went back to take some photos and were quite sure this was our choice. we like the view very much and we're sure that our guest would enjoy it while having their lunch too.
kelvin den brought us to the wonderful solemnization venue, the very reason of us chosing rasa sentosa. the big big tree that cast wonderful shelter from the sun for the guest. the nice white fence area that mimicks the western wedding venues. the wonderful sea breeze and the beautiful sea as the backdrop of our solemnization. i'm sold! the only worry is that if it rains, i will hv to hold it at the pavillion but one should always focus on the bright side. in fact, on my way home today, i've thought of the theme for my wedding! roses & feathers or fur.. the romantic fairytale wedding!
we were shown the ballrooms but we didnt like it coz it was at the basement and the place looks dark n gloomy. another reason we didnt take the ballroom is that it looks like traditional hotel wedding ballrooms with the 4 walls. it was tempting to take the ballroom as there wasnt any pillars but we thought since we're paying so much for the scenery we might s well enjoy it fully by choosing the pavillion!
i'm so glad we've settle on Rasa Sentosa but there seems to be more and more hidden cost. just yesterday, it suddenly pop into my mind if we have to pay for the projectors and yes, we do! it cost $400+ just to rent one from the hotel :(. i wonder if we should source for other places. flowers for decor of the solemnization place, the flower arc & 6 flower balls, cost us $780 already. if i were to use my theme of flowers with feather/fur, i would hv to outsource. i guess i still have alot of home to be done!
first thing first, a wedding to-do list!

Face...
He's gone...
held back my emotions coz i promise him that i will not cry. but he did.. haha..
tried to cheer him up by cracking jokes but it seems to back fire.
Duno why but tears that i've been holding back the whole day flows uncontrollably now as i put up this post.
But i firmly believe all will be fine. its only 78 days, or rather 11 weeks. by next sunday, i will be down to 10! time always flies so i'm sure this will pass soon!
i will only focus on the positive and be cheerful and independent. after all, i'm made of strong stuff. i definitely will miss him but when he's back next year, we will be busy planning our future together!
la la la!
We're getting married!!! though he hasnt propose yet :P we're doing the process all over the place, in a haywired manner but it doesnt matter. what matters is he's the one! mr right!
so far, we've gotten our flat which will be ready in Dec 2012, we've already decided on our wedding venue and also decided on what traditional process that we are going to skip. it's going to be fun! we've done all without him proposing yet so i guess he's really getting it easy.. hahaha.. but it doesnt matter, what matters is we're in love and want to spend the rest of our lifes together, not to mention of coz he has to show me the bling! i'm not called bimbo or materialistic for nothing :P
will update on the venue in the next post and also the long awaited HK trip. actually, not too sure abt the HK trip post as i'm really really lazy.. :P
still miss him loads and loads but at least blogging abt it and what we can look forward to makes me much happier1

Happy Birthday Janet~!
Tum tum tum, 1 2 3, we are Kuishinbo...
Celebrated Janet's birthday at Kuishinbo yesterday with Ro, Tony, Jackson, Brenna, Mr & Mrs Pee and Anson. Me and ro kept taking the snow crabs coz they were simply delicious! especially ro was the one who helped to de-shell it. the meat is fresh and chewy with a tinge of saltishness and natural sweet-ness...ummmm... Yummm!!! I'll definitely go there again if not for the price! Definitely a place to visit when there is any occasion worth celebrating for but not for a causal meal.
Look at my BIG ROUND FACE!
I cant seem to get the song out of my head!!
Tum tum tum, 1 2 3, we are Kuishinbo...

Mummy's Birthday is tomorrow!
Went for Tampopo at Liang court with mummy and rowan today for dinner. I tried the black pork katsu while mum had the normal one. black pork taste much more tender den the normal pork. I'll most probably order what ro had today, the black pork shabu shabu coz the pork taste much beta when its juz boiled. yum!
I rushed to meet mum, peixi and bro after work ytd. first they say go defu, den they decide to go what pier place. so i had to take the mrt to marina bay to wait for them.. till 930pm! i stood outside the mrt station for 30 freaking minutes coz there were no benches nor seats available.
that was not the worst..
we couldnt find the bus stop as there were road works all over. there were no available cabs. Thus we walked....
from marina bay mrt station to......
LAO PA SAT!!!!!
my god! can u imagine, standing for 30 mins and den walkin from marina bay mrt to lao pa sat coz we didnt noe the road was leading to lao pa sat. all we wanted was to flag a cab! we muz have walked at least 20 mins along the road by the side with no pavement! so dangerous lor!
ended up eating at lao pa sat coz we were too tired and hungry to find a cab. hahaha.. i bet it was definitely an unforgettable birthday dinner for my mum!
Day 25..
My baby's face is as messy as me! kekekekeke....
Last pic of the entry.. a nice nice pic of my 2 boys to chase ur nightmares away :)

Savings... Depleting...
I scrimp & save and managed to save pathetic 300 bucks for this month and down it goes, into the toilet bowl... LITERALLY~!! Had to pay for my hse's toilet bowl as the old ones keeps choking.. Just when i decide to go on a tour this had to happen! i tot it could wait till after my hk trip and then i would not be as tight fisted.. well, well, 300bucks lesser for my hk shopping budget. Will have to work around it. I'll survive! kekeke!!!
now i have to save up for my hong kong shopping trip.. and my next semester's school fees...
O ya!! i gotten a distinction for my exam last semester but i'm quite disappointed as i expected to get a high distinction. oh well... i'm just lousy.. have to work hard next sem!

Facial, Work & Holiday!!!
work has been pretty stagnant.. i feel as if i'm not performing. keep making silly mistakes and i've kinda lost my working momentum. gone were the days where i'll go to work happily. well.. i guess its just transition period.. i'll survive! i'll work hard!! i'll jia you!!
by the by.....i'm finally going for a HOLIDAY!!!! 7 years of my working life and i'm finally leaving.. on a jet plane! HONG KONG HERE I COME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i'm going hong kong from 21st aug 08 to 24th aug 08. will be going wif my mum, aunt, cousin & Ro. ro was abit disappointed as he wanted it to be his so called pre-honeymoon trial trip wif me. kekeke.. but its also a blessing in disguise as my cousin knows HK like the back of her hand~ she goes every single year and knows where the bargin hunts are! i hope it'll be an enjoyable trip but i'm already feeling the pinch coz the accomodations plus airtickets is already about S$800. guess i'll budget myself to spending just $1k for shopping and food. :)
Wish me luck! will update the pic of my ugly face soon!

Boring life ... Boring me...
this afternoon, ro was asking wat if he moved in and we broke off.. would i chase him out immediately? this tot has never ever passed my mind before. i think it goes to show that he doesnt really have faith and that he has no confidence that the relationship will last. it stung abit but i can understand. we have been together for only less den a yr, and now with my new job and hectic workload, we haven had much time to spend together. more squabbles over minor stuff has oso occur which we nv had any problem wif previously.
well, life goes on.. we just have to work hard to make the relationship last. in any case, i dun believe in forever. if it happens it happens, if it doesnt there's nothing i can do can i?
Cheers mates!

Me & my pet peeves..
I do not lend them to others. U wan to borrow? i'm make a copy for u
I really really hate it when my notes have dog-ears..
I absolutely have to highlight my notes using my ruler to get a straight line.
I have to clean my ruler with a tissue paper after every highlighting.
I have to use the same color of highlighter for all my notes of the same module.
Am i too anal? Yes I am ANAL about my NOTES and that is me.
**********************************************************
I hate hate hate taxi drivers.
No matter which company's taxi i take, the driver will yak and yak and yak.
Doesnt matter if i'm not answering. they will carry on their one-side conversation all the way till i alight.
the worst thing? they always start at the CTE ERP gantry, complaining about the government earning alot of the citizen's money, and somewhere, somehow, when we turn out of the expressway, they will link to their life, about their wife being nagging, how they hate to go home etc..
I AM NOT AUNT AGGY! cant u see i am not interested!
I'm a paying customer, why not pay me and DEN i LISTEN to u!
**********************************************************
I finish studying my modules!
left with the case studies and i can proceed on for my revision!
at this rate i am right on schedule, the only thing left is to pray that i will pass!

Life's tough decisions...
i will always remember his disappointed look that was on his face yesterday. i felt like i've betrayed him but luckily he did assure me that he is only disappointed if i left coz of money but of coz he respect my decision if it is beneficial to my career advancement. i am really grateful to him for his guidance these two years and hope that i will be able to remain on such good terms with him. i believe after he has gotten used to the idea of me leaving, he will be able to revert to his old self. if only he can go over with me....

Mind Cafe on 9th Mar 08
late late late blog entry on our wonderful time at the Mind Cafe on 9th Mar 08 with Eleanor & Daren. I'll visit the Mind Cafe again though not for the dinner coz it wasnt really fantastic, but for the wonderful time, playing those games and making silly actions.
We played Chicken Cha Cha Cha, a test of memory. the game's something like old maid, you flip up the cards in the centre to match them to the next picture that your chicky will land on. if you manage to overtake your opponent, you get to take his tail & any other tail that he/she has won from others. Daren's the winner, which is not surprising as he's in an occupation that needs him to hv good memory in case he gets assulted outside by his ex-customers. :P i recalled him saying we're not supposed to disclose his occupation thus i think i'm not making any sense describing his job here:)A pity that there wasnt any photos taken coz we totally forgotten it!
Next up, we played Dogsville. I chose the game thinking it'll be fun but turns out its so complicated that we abandoned it after some time. each of our dogs got to pee, got to dig up trash, run away from the pound car and also collect as much bone s possible.. just too complicated for the kind of fun we're looking for. The photo shows how stressed the guys were trying to figure the game out!
Opt for another game, a Japanese card game, which i will call the 'band of robbers card game'. its a simple card game which the cards we hold depicts the environment of where we are. so we can chose who we wan to 'shoot' and if the person has the same environment card, he/she will have to discard the cards:) Eleanor won of coz.. she's best at shoot ppl.. oh wait.. ro should win rite? he's even beta at shooting aeroplane!
Deciding that the card game is slightly too mild, we went on to play Jenga.. my all time fear! i'm cursed with really wobbly hands, butter fingers & trembling palms, thus needless to say, i lost badly. LOL! we tried to scheme each other by making the thing wobbly n stuff and also making it increasingly difficult like setting up rules like the sequence of coloured blocks we have to pick etc. The most unforgettable post? Daren's PCK technique!
the last game is the best! we played Sayoddles ( think its pronouced as 'say-o-ddles'. there are props that will help you depict the list of items u have to act out for your team member to guess. there is a long sponge, a square piece of sponge, a cup and a sponge ball.. needless to say, mr daren gave us a kodak moments shot :) this game made us dissolve in laughter! getting our team member to guess correctly simply drives us up the wall and since we couldnt talk, we used our hands to voice out our pent up frustration. whahahaha.. ie those vulgarities action. :P
Mind cafe is one place i will go again with them! loads of fun and laughter!

Sponsors needed...
i've narrowed down to 2 bags so far, my fav being the dumpling bag, and one more tote bag which i'm considering black or beige. thinking of getting a wallet too.. so just have to chose between 2 designs of the wallet.
Most important problem is... WHERE DO I FIND SPONSORS??????
any kind hearted soul who sees this blog entry, pls leave a comment if you're willing to fullfill a pitiful piggy princess's wish... maybe set up a piggy princess foundation bah...

My lunch kakhi... my mentor..
today we went to modestos. nice pizza there, however, the pasta was slightly disappointing as the salmon cream was terrible. the salmon isnt fresh thus there was a purid taste to it. i miss sherin. she is my listening ear, listening to all my gossips, grumbles and lame jokes over lunch, giving me guidance, consoling words and also joining me in all my nonsensical rabbles. she is my mentor for my cpa aust. i'm grateful that she agreed to be my mentor, soothing my fears in facing the problems that i have for the program. one thing i'm glad is i'll be meeting her on a frequent basis for my cpa program :)
from today onwards, i'll have to lunch with my boss coz i'm other lunch kakhi is on maternity leave. hope all goes well.. dirty rice life.. here i come!

2 months into the Year 2008
I had great fun over the luna new yr holidays coz i went over to malaysia to visit Ro's parents. I like his dad.. very bubbly and talkative, full of himself but nevertheless a very nice fatherly figure. however, given my temperamental nature, i dun think both of us will live in peace :P Ro's mum is the typical quiet giver of the family. she never complains even though uncle keeps picking on her. its pretty amazing that she never flares up even when sometimes we can see that its quite unjust. i guess she is the direct opposite of me.. heehee.. i am never wrong, always right! so dun try to accuse me or point that i'm wrong :P visited Ro's granny and then went to Justco to shop. Justco reminds me of singapore's vivocity coz its big. o ya! we had dinner at a restaurant after the shopping trip and love the yu shen there! there wasnt much vege and they had this yellow n red instant noodle like thingy so the whole yu shen tasted crispy & nice! i like!!
the major change in this yr is work. Sherin resigned and thus finance n accounts department had some re-shuffling. the other snr financial analyst will take over sherin's position s the accounting mgr and the lady that was previously working under him will now be reporting to my boss irvin. i feel like an only child, suddenly having to share my treats wif an elder sister. it shouldnt have affected me much but this lady will soon be going for her maternity leave and i have to cover for part of her work. this really worries me as one of her reports for month end takes her 12 hrs. i would have to start learning from her next week. i will have to do the closing on my own next month and it is also the quarterend. scary! i hope i dun fail my boss. in any case, i am taking this opportunity to make myself perform. i'm too self-satisfied in my own comfort zone. its time i raise up to challenges and work hard!
just read thru my cpa australia mentorship program and realised that i have really been too complacent. there are many areas to be achieved and i have to work hard to complete them. step one is sitting down with my mentor sherin and planing my future. i must complete my practical experience asap! I must be more proactive!
2008 is a year of self-reflections. reflecting on my work, my life and my growth as an individual. i will strive hard to achieve my personal goals! Do well in my career, clear all my debts, save enuff for my future plans and most of all, be a supportive girlfriend, daughter & sister!

Thank you so much for all the sweet memories, the amount of time, care and effort that you put into this relationship. I have never felt more cherished in my whole life. Thank you for enduring my countless request, my crazy mood swings and putting up with my crazy behaviour… heehee ( I know u like acting mad with me)..
I’m sorry our dinner at Prego’s did not turn out as good as I thought it would be ( stupid vongole sold out.. its really nice I swear!) but I had a very very enjoyable time with you yesterday. Though it would have been better if we had manage to get to Funan on time to shop for lappy.. whahahha.. juz kidding..
Darling, let’s work hard for our future!! Set some targets and we’ll work towards them.. remember the dreamer and the helper? We’re a great team!;P Hope soon you wont be just showing me the statement but giving me the account.. whahahhaha!
HAIL KING RO!!!!

Sentosa 13th Jan 08 :0)
we finally managed to get everyone for the Sentosa trip after planning for like.. 2 to 3 months? janet n i are forever trying to co-ordinate our schedules to get the best day for this sentosa trip..
jackson & brenna were slightly late thus, tony, janet, ro & i played 'dai dee' at the beach carpark.. heehee.. it was hilarious seeing tony cheat by peeping into janet's cards..
pinic by the beach was really relaxing. a big thank you to tony for making egg mayo sandwiches for us. heehee.. best of all, jackson n brenna took extra steps to ensure we have ice cold drinks.. very very thoughtful.. only ro & i didnt prepare anything.. heehee... though we bought nachos from the 7-11 there.. :P
we had a blast trying all the tourist attractions there. all of the rides were a first for us.. the older i get, the more gutless i get.. i now have a phobia for heights.. throughout the whole skyride, i was practically out of my mind.. my palms were sweating thus to take my mind off the fact tat my legs r dangling in mid-air, i keep asking ro to take pics wif me.. hahaha.. but i still remember to smile nicely for the commercial camera heehee.. the photo turns out to b very very nice.
was thinking it would be very very very romantic if the guy propose on the sky ride.. imagine while the gal is busy tryin to prepare on posing for the camera, the guy whips out a diamond ring n propose, the very scene will b captured on camera!! Romantic rite!!!!
calsberg tower n the cineblast was so so only.. cineblast made me n ro abit nauseous though.. guess we're not used to wearing those 3d shades.. :)we ended the day wif songs of the sea.. i love the fireworks.. i wonder if its coz i'm born on national day, i simply adore fireworks!! i remember last yr, i even tear a little when i went for the national day preview while watching the fabulous fireworks.. heheee
all in all it was a fun day n i wld love to visit it again!
Lappy.. Lappy.. Lappy
Ro was very nice n offered to pay for me. but i am abit hesitant coz i am afraid i will under-utilise it and cause him to waste money.
There are 2 model, one that cost $1699 (only white color) and another that is only slightly different in spec that cost $1999 (this has red, white & pink).
I really like the laptops and crave to get one coz my old one has been down for a yr plus and my bro's taking his own sweet time to fix it.
Haven been going online coz i feel that there isnt any privacy cause i am currently using my mum's pc in the living room.
Let's list the stuff i do on my lappy:
1) Surf Net
2) Chat on MSN
3) Update blog
4) Do my study questions (I haven done it before though but will do tis sem)
5) Watch DVD
6) Upload my photos
7) Send resume
Dun wana list anymore coz my nose's runny n i'm sleepy.. kekekeke...
Exactly what are the factors that one should consider in whether to get a lappy or not!!! It's givin me headache :(
Should i get a fujitsu instead? I like both sony & fujitsu lappy.. or should i juz send my lappy for servicing instead of waiting for my bro.. ARHHHH!!!!!!!!
