[ After . 3 . Months ]

Yes, am still alive & kicking. I MISS BLOGGING!!

I miss blogging to record happenings in my life, to recall memories, to upload picture albums,etc. Been so busy till I have no idea where to start.

Well, had finished my temp work in Feb & officially started my probation in March. I must admit that i am really lucky to be shortlisted for perm. Co's strict though...i cant use my 3 mths temp as probation so that i can convert to perm right away. So..i am like starting all over again..to complete my 3 mths probation (which means i would have worked 6mths b4 i get to become perm). Whatever it is..most impt is i pass my probation..hopefully.

Work's been good..lots of things to learn in the corporate world. At the very least, i found a marketing job which i always hope for. Mayb not exactly the industy i wanted to be in..but gaining experience is top priority now, b4 i consider moving on. Marketing as it meant to be, involves lots of OT & weekends burnt. That's another sacrifice a marketer has to make. Easily, a roadshow will take up your weekends, the only time you get to relax and time to spend with your loved ones. That reminds me that my upcoming mth - May will be fully occupied due to our new launch...n our marketing calendar is packed till 2009.

My zukzuk has moved on too. It's a pity he can't join me in the same co as perm, but i am happy that he found a job that he really wants to. That's the most impt thing isn't it. He deserved the job as he put in much effort in getting it. (he actually needs to do up a complete marketing plan for the co for his interview!) But what comes after it is expected too. Tough interview = tough job. He's ot-ing even more than me and even more responsibilities than me. His managers are quite nasty too, which he took it as a form of training. Well, we hope he can pass the probation too. Tough..i would say. Nevetheless, am proud of him already. *Jia you zuk!*

I realize, there's plenty of issues to think about as you grow older. Looking back..when i'm schooling, i will worry abt results, pocket $$. Now, zuk & i are planning for car, house and even our own business. It's not easy and all involves large sum of $$. However hard it takes, as long as you know there's someone you have, to plan together for the future, it's all worth it.

Anyway, supposed to do a short entry while waiting for zuk to reach home...but me being me, tends to go on & on. I miss all my friends. I hope those who have stepped into the working world are doing what they love to do & those who are studying to pass examinations with flying colours! *Jun3z & Wahz, jia you wor!**Not forgetting Clemen, Jeff, Vince, Yongmeng, Zheheng, Chorlun*Those who are still serving NS (like Piggy Lin) are surviving well.
How i wish there's more time in a day, more weekends than weekdays! I want more time with my family and my zuk (it's never enough).
Lots of pictures i want to upload, i love flooding my blog with pictures. Hope to be able to do that soon. Ya, s.o.o.n. Now, it's time to go to bed. It's work tml again!

Am missing you beside me already...

[ . Back to Work . ]

Was back from my BKK trip on 6th Jan, dear and I took another leave on the 7th & we were back at work on the 8th. Auditors will be coming in soon, thus, am currently occupied with ensuring that my marketing budget / invoices are in place & tally with one another.

My BBK trip was not bad afterall, except for some hiccups along the way. (really big ones though, no worries, not abt dear & me!) It was a “shop-till-you-drop” trip and our legs were damn tired from all the shopping. It was my first time tired out from all the shopping & shopped till sian! HAha! There’re simply too many things to buy & we had too little time to cover everywhere. What’s more…limited funds as well.

We wanted to visit some places besides shopping, but we didn’t make it. The girls were too preoccupied with their shopping! Well, at least I got to watch the “tiger show”!! The place was ¾ filled with angmohs. Haha! N It’s so fascinating how much the ladies can do! Our eyes & mouth were basically wide-opened throughout the performance. But it’s something you would only want to watch it once. =) All I can say is: It’s an eye-opener!!

Dear & I planned, for the next round, we gonna spend more time visiting some other places, doing some other things besides shopping. We wanted to go Pettaya (beach resort), condom restaurant, go for thai massages, river stalls or even visit their temple. Well, BKK can wait for the moment, our next target would be either Redang in April or Taiwan / Hongkong in late year. It’s much dependent on whether we are able to save from our earnings. Heez.

Here's some of my BKK pictures to share:





Yup..it’s a new year, meaning I am another year older. =/ New year resolutions? Nothing special but:

1) To find a job that I REALLY like + with a reasonable salary.
2) To be able to accumulate my savings, sufficient for my family, berry & for my holiday trips.
(this is tough, considering I have to start from 0)
3) To be able to repay my study loan as planned on a monthly basis.
4) To improve my relationship with my family, as well as dear’s family. =)
5) To improve my relationship with dear, be more understanding.
6) To have effective time management –strike a balance between work & recreation (dance / sports)
7) To have constant gatherings with friends. (you know who you are!)
8) To visit the dentist (yes, it might be something common for you, but I can’t remember when was the last time I visited one.)
9) To fix my hopeless hair. (I need to decide what I want.)

I guessed that’s about it….for now.

I didn’t “accomplish” much in year 2007, except for spending my account till zero. HAha! But seriously, my greatest relieve is to be able to pass all my modules & am waiting for the graduation ceremony in aug/sept 2008. Having mixed feelings to step out of the education ground.

Oh…N…yah…dear’s family is cute. His parents actually hope to see us ROM within this year. They even asked dear to approach my father, to ask for permission to marry me. HAha! Although dear & I are ready, we’re not financially. So…we shall see how ar…=) We’ve started to look out for HDB flats & stuff though, wanted to keep abreast of the available locations & rates, etc.

Talking abt that, congrats to Huizi & Reagan! Attended their wedding on 10th Jan @ Dragon Gate Restaurant:



Anyway, am so excited to start my hip hop classes again, now with 2 new instructors! We will be having lessons on wed & sat, Ms Foo hopes to train us to become the performing team for Dancepointe. From our current stage, I doubt we can do a good job, but hopefully we’ll be up to it in the near future! =)

I can go on & on…but I think I should stop here. Till next time! Ciaoz! =)

[ My . Unforgettable . Christmas . 2007 ]

First of all...HAPPY NEW YEAR!! BEST WISHES FOR THE NEW YEAR & MAY YOU HAVE A SMOOTH RIDE THROUGH THE YEAR & YOUR LIFE BE FILLED WITH HAPPINESS, GOOD HEALTH & WEALTH! =)

Time check: It's 1.30am now...gonna make fast updates & on the many christmas parties that i had for 2007, before i wrapped up & start on entries for a new year! =)

New Year 2007 Countdown @ Juan's place - 31st Dec 2007

Had a simple gathering with juan, yunxin, ying, wk, dear & me @ Juan's place. Played "Cluedo" for abt 2hrs b4 the countdown & watched fireworks from her place! It's from the countdown party @ Boon Lay! So nice! =)Brought Berry along to make friends with Chilli (juan's dog) & ended up both of them keep chasing 1 another. HAha! Furthermore, it's Chilli (female) who keeps chasing after Berry (male)!

Clemen's Chalet @ Pasir Ris - 28th Dec 2007

So Sorry! Didn't managed to go for his chalet as planned as I was seriously down with fever & flu. Was so looking forward to it as it had been zillion yrs since we last had the chance to have chalet together. I hope this chance comes soon again. Paisey guys! =(

Singapore Salsa Congress 2007 @ Victoria Threatre - 26th Dec 2007

Thanks to Manfred who gave us complimentary tix to this event. It's really expensive!! Definately an eye-opener & really makes me feel like taking up salsa once again! =) Great performance!

All of us who went down to support Manfred:





Christmas BBQ @ Yang's Place - 25th Dec 2007

It's the 1st time we're celebrating this special day as a triple-date! Thanks Wah & Yang for coming up with the BBQ idea. It was nice, had fun taking pics as well. Not forgetting our haunted house trip. *wiNkz*



Christmas Potluck @ Cam's place - 24th Dec 2007

This was also the 1st time that we're having potluck! For the past few years, we have been celebrating christmas in town, joining in the crowds. Thanks Cam for coming up with the idea! N..N..thanks for your lovely cookies! =) We headed down to PS to watch "I'm Legend" like 2.10am after the celebration. HAha!



Christmas Potluck @ Bakin' Boys - 23rd Dec 2007

Woo..had many 1st times for this christmas. 1st to celebrate christmas with a bunch of youngsters & lovely ladies from Dancepointe! Thanks Ms Foo & Uncle Lance for inviting us to his Cookie Caffe for this celebration. It's a nice place i must say, with nice cookies & ice-cream! =)




Dancepointe's Company Lunch @ MissU Cafe - 20th Dec 2007

Congrats to Dancepointe, which has successfully expanded from only 1 branch in Taman Jurong to another in Jurong West & now, 1 in Sengkang as well. =) I am proud to be a member of this big family. =)




For this christmas, i didn't have much budget to get pressies for everyone. Thus, decided to bake. Chanced upon the "Snowball Cookies" receipe & thought it is ideal for the season. Had to rush for the baking because am filled with activties! Didn't bake enough on the 1st round, cos the receipe didn't say how many it is for, thus, rushed for a 2nd bake & ended up baking till 2am! However, had fun baking these cookies & most importantly, hope my friends like it. =)

A few pictures to share:


Dusting of the snowball cookies with icing sugar:


A closer peek:


Ta Da! Packed & ready to go:



My Christmas Pressies!! Thanks to my darling friends!

Wrapped nicely:


The treasures within:



Time check now: 3.00am...my flight to BBK is 11am, suppose to reach airport by 9am, time to wake up @ abt 6.30am. Though recovered from fever & flu, but am having sore throat & cough now. My immune system is weak...due to my late nights i guessed.

Nevetheless...baobei & i are so looking forward to the trip that we dun think we can sleep!! =) Afterall, it's the 1st time we are going this "far" away + also our 1st time taking plane together! YiPeE!

BBK! Here we come! *smile* *grin* *laugh*

[ Back Logs ]

Was reminding myself, to update some pics for the past week, b4 my christmas pictures start to come in...didn't really have time to do it though! My office is so strict la..every site is also blocked. N we can only use the internet for 4 hours. Nothing much to do with it. Guess that's what big company do. Ha. I enjoy going work with dear =). Pay sucks, but company is good, ppl are nice, experience is priceless. Most importantly, at least i know i'll have abit of money for my upcoming BBK Trip! =)

It's half day of work today..now back @ dear's place to pick up stuff, b4 we head to Cam's place for potluck!! It's our 1st potluck together..am so excited! Not much time left...so here it goes, some updates for the past week....:

11th Dec 2007 - Pawtobella Cafe + Mount Faber

Day out with Ling, Qing & Berry. We are so pampering Berry la! We brought him to this café, where the pet is able to dine with their owners. So cool right. We wanted Berry to make some friends too. Guessed we were there too early..cos most of the customers came in after we finished our meal. HAha…& Berry got the chance to see his friend! Another poodle! Haha..small talks with the pets’ owners, read pet magazines, nice dinner, nice place.

Brought Ling & Qing to Mount Faber after that....we got to snap some nice pictures as well as admire the tallest Christmas tree. We were lucky as the tree only lights up on certain timing. We were about to leave when it lighted up! =)





9th Dec 2007 - Costa Sands @ Pasir Ris

It was nice of Qing & Ling, to invite us to their chalet. Dear & I stayed for the 1st night. With just the 4 of us, we had a mini bbq session. Luckily, the rain didn’t spoil our delicious food. Wanted to go Escape Theme Park, but the plan didn’t work out due to the wet weather. We only get to play games at the stall, with dear & Qing winning prizes for Ling & me. =) We managed to get vouchers though. The management is good enough to compensate with that, so that we could go on another day, when the weather is good. Hopefully.

N yah…finally we get to play the basketball game @ the arcade. It wasn’t easy! Your arms get really tiring after the 1st round. But I love it! HAha! My highest score for that day was 144, into the 3rd round. 6 more pts b4 I could advance to the 4th round. Definitely will play that again! =)





7th Dec 2007 - East Coast Park with Berry

Qing rented car prior to his NS enlistment, guessed he wanted to bring my sis around, to spend quality time with her. =) We decided to bring Berry to East Coast Park. It’s kind of difficult to bring him out w/o car, as he doesn’t like to be kept in his bag. We had fun & I guessed Berry was happy too! Most importantly, he gets to eat fries and onion rings while we were having our dinner @ Burger King. We even shifted their table & chairs out of the actual dining place, because there’s no way Berry could enter!





6th Dec 2007 - IKEA Trip

Dear & I made a trip down to IKEA, for its furniture and FOOD! =) We had fun choosing the desired types of furniture and design for our future home. *Winkz* There’s something about IKEA, you’ll never be sick of the place, though sometimes you do see the same furniture on display. Not sure for you, but it’s definitely intriguing for us!





That's all for today..with more to come~!

Upcoming updates:

20nd Dec 07 - Dancepointe Company Dinner @ MissU Cafe
21st Dec 07 - Our 5th Year & 3 mths Anniversary Celebration
22nd Dec 07 - Watched Singapore Salsa Congress + Drinks @ Carribean KTV Pub
23rd Dec 07 - Dancepointe Christmas Party @ Bakin' Boys Cafe (Potluck)

Upcoming plans:

24th Dec 07 - Christmas Potluck @ Cam's place!
25th Dec 07 - Christmas BBQ @ Yang's place!
26th Dec 07 - To watch Salsa Performance @ Victoria Threatre! *~So nice of Manfred to give us the tix! It's so ex! =) ~*
29th Dec 07 - Clemen's chalet!
30th Dec 07 - Car Show @ Expo!

N...N...my BBK Trip is coming soooo soon! WEEEE!

Lastly..MERRY CHRISTMAS & HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL! *MUACKZ*

[ Looking back @ 23rd Nov 2007 ...]


Dear & i had our 5th Year & 4 Mths anniversary celebration @ Sentosa. It was lucky for us..cos it was a really bright & sunny day, reflected our mood as well! =) I wasn't feeling very well though..guessed all the late nights finally fall on me, had running nose.


Unlike usual trips to the beach, this time round, we didn't plan to catch any fishes. Heez...simply cos we had last minute plans with cam & hui..had to bring change of clothes, shoes, etc. It's kind of hard to bring so many things w/o car. So basically we laze & tanned, fly our kite, played with frisbee & most importantly, had quality time together. Time passed especially fast with moments like this (",)







Changed & met up with hui & cam with their boys @ Vivo for dinner. Dinner was good @ Modestro! N by that time..think my flu's getting worst, felt feverish. Pop panadol & off we went to Carribean KTV Pub.




Think the rest of them had fun playing with dices, drinking while i sang. HAha..can't drink due to medication. I think i looked bad that day. HAha..left at abt 2am+ ba. Home sweet after that.

Well well..i can't believe it! But...i am going Bangkok! Yes, am going Bangkok! Am going Bangkok! *Weeeee* Didn't think it will be confirmed as we have always been talking abt trips..but no action was taken. This time round, it only took us 2 days, to decide den book the air tix & hotel. It was cam who initiated it though. Air tix was ex..cos it's kind of last min..& it's holiday season. My dear is so nice (again)..to agree for the trip though we're broke. Or rather..i am broke. U wun believe how broke i am now..so..am looking for part time job fast..I wouldn't want to have nth to spend on the trip. My trip will be on 2nd Jan till 6th Jan 2008. Can't wait man! =)

Oh yah..i managed to pass all my modules..checked the results in advance through the RMIT website. 2 CRs and 2 DI. It's not fantastic results but am satisfied enough, it's a tough semester afterall. =)

Congrats to Joze, finally making the wise choice to leave the company. She asked us out for a celebration tonight @ Plush. A pub i think. Haha..entry $$ not cheap..but she's dear's friend..so..ya..heEz. Happy for her & wish her good luck in her next job.

HELP! I seriously need money for:

1) Contact lens
2) Fix my awful & messy hair
3) Christmas pressie for all beloved ppl
4) Christmas celebration
5) $$ to spend for Bangkok trip

...and the list goes on & on....

[ Updates! ]

Finally decided to log onto my blogger & clean up the dust accumulated. Finished my exams on 5th Nov & had been busy enjoying since then. Results will be out on 5th Dec. Didn't want to look for jobs before i get the confirmation that i passed all the modules. Dahz..i wouldn't want to fail any in the last semester. Preeze...

Kind of aimless right now. What kind of job am i supposed to look for? When should i start? I am now time rich but cash poor =/.

It's also the time to meet up with friends, do some catching up. The guys have gradually ORD one by one. Majority of them is continuing with their studies. =)

Yesterday, met up with Hui in the afternoon, during her lunch break. She drove down from her workplace to my place..had lunch together & passed me pressie from her Manila & Bangkok trip. *Thanks ger!* After which, I headed down to JE for KTV session with Piggy Lin, Clemen, June & Juan. Been a long time since we last K. Had fun taking crazy pictures, making ourselves look ugly with 鬼脸 & this is so-called "no image le!!" HAha. The pictures will speak for itself:

Piggy Lin & Me:



Our "鬼脸":



I am so ugly la! Piggy Lin seemed like he's enjoying it!



Clemen & Me:



He was forced by me to do these:



Nice try..Clemen! =)



June & Me:



It's U.G.L.Y de lor! HAha!





Juan & Me:



Fat cheeks fat cheeks!



New "鬼脸" inverted by Juan:



June trying it out:



Ok...tested & proven that it is U.G.L.Y!



Seriously singing.





Our "Zi Cha" Dinner:



We went to Juan's place for a short majong session & a game of Cluedo (unfinished) while waiting for Dear & Sunny to finish their 15hr shift deployment. After which, we left her place @ abt 1am to head down to Sunny's place, for another majong session. Dear & I are still in the learning phrase..so..pardon for playing so slowly. HAha. Played all the way till 4am, with Piggy Lin emerging as the winner, dear & I lost abt $7.50. =/ Piggy Lin drove dear & me back home. *Thanks*

Piggy Lin's freaking invisible hand & Cluedo Game:



Juan's dog - Chilli & Me:



Yesterday also marks the end of dear's deployment. He gonna start looking for jobs again.

To-do-list for the rest of the week:
1) 22nd Nov: It's movie time - "Enchanted" with dear, june & the guys @ JP laters!
2) 23rd Nov: It's sun, sand & sea with baobei! (belated anniversary celebration)
3)24th Nov: Hip Hop rehearsal @ 6.45pm @ JW's Dancepointe!
4) 25th Nov: Hip Hop Performance @ Raffles Place!

Did i say i was time rich? Hmm..
