Sentosa

2010-02-01T15:27:00.003+08:00

Bao Bei brought me to Sentosa 2 Saturday ago. We wanted to go & check out the new Resort World, Casino & Theme Park. Sadly, the place is not ready for viewing yet.

However, we happened to bumped into Sunny which turned out that he has planned to propose to his dear GF that day. Woohoo, I am so happy for them. (Recently, there are so many proposals happening around me. First, it was Jess which was in December, then is my best buddy, my darling Sue Sue… Next, was this lovely couple, Sunny & Agnes.)

We went to view the DFS area and were surprised to find brands like Chopard & Victori Secret!!! The VS didn’t have many lingerie choices but more of the sporty sleepwear. After walking around for an hour, we decided to visit the different part of Sentosa.

We had a simple lunch at Coffee Bean. We ordered a fruit tea, cheesecake & Caser Salad. Bao Bei liked the Caser Salad very much. Yum yum… We were seated on the hilltop, overlooking the beautiful scenery of Resort World. Romantic… kekeke

Next, we went for the Luge Ride! The queue was pretty fast but the helmet was quite smelly!!! We took the Luge Ride downhill and took the Skyride up again. It was pretty exciting as we were at the peak of the island.

After Skyride, we took the blue line bus to play the Segway Eco-Adenture. But we were kinda cheated lor. We thought we could take it to the beaches but so happened we went to the wrong station and the whole thing only lasted less than 15 minutes. Booooo

After feeling “cheated”, we decided to hop back to Vivocity to buy some dog tidbits for Miu Miu. We had our dinner at Dian Xiao Er and were allocated to a very cooling outdoor seat. It had a beautiful view and windy setting. We had so much fun trying much new stuff together.

Changes

2010-02-01T09:46:00.001+08:00

After working in TP for 3 months, God opened the doorway for new opportunities. Miraculously, I chanced upon a similar position which is much nearer to my new home. I tried my “luck” and applied for it.

Within a week, I was called for interview. It was also very stressful as I had to explain why I wanted a new job after being in TP for such a short period of time. I truthfully explained the distant and my plan for further studies. The interviewers didn’t show much expression. And I thought that I might be doomed for any chance. Within a week, they called for a second interview & I was really surprised.

During the 20min interview with the Deputy Principal, HR Director and Finance Director, they made me feel very comfortable. Despites the short interview, they offered me the job with higher salary within 2hours after my interview. I was overjoyed. I really want to thank God for the opportunities and blessing.

Most of all, I am very excited for this new year, as in July I will definitely be going to further my studies. 8th February will be my last day in TP, and I will get to rest till March before starting on my new job. Bao Bei had generously blessed me with a trip to Phuket. The last time I went was during a company retreat. However, I didn’t really get the chance to visit around since that was a company trip. I am really looking forward to the holiday, the sun, sea, beach.. Lalala

My September

2009-09-29T09:18:00.000+08:00

Before the adult retreat to JB Sofitel, I was busy doing makeup. Saturday morning, did Esther & her aunt's makeup. It was fast & quick, as they both had really short hair. On Sunday, I went to East Coast & did Chloe's friend's makeup. The gals surprised the bride-to-be with a professional make-up service!

Next, I rushed to town to do another makeup for my client, Jasmine. After a few hiccups earlier, we finalised to have a simple high bun. Overall, I am happy with her look & hair. Hope she's satisfied too.

After doing Jasmine's makeup, I rushed home to wash up & change. Put Miu Miu @ mummy's place & went for Huishan & Gilbert's wedding. Everyone was really busy. Hence, did not catch up with much people except my 2 CG friends, Faith & Jess. Managed to take photo with Sharon & Tink too.

After the wedding dinnter on Sunday, Mich came home with us to bunk in for a night. Early morning @ 6am, we headed to Jurong West Church & made our way to JB via the Tuas 2nd Link Causeway.

Super tired & exchausted, both Bao Bei & I were having extreme headache & fatigueness. We hid in our room & slept through the afternoon. After that, a few of the members & us went for a game of bowling & pool.

Opps.. my sleepy eyes

After the games, we headed back to the conference room for dinner & game. Rested for the night, the next day, Bao Bei went to play Paintball & kena 4 buises,haha. We catched the 1pm coach after our lunch & headed home to rest. I managed to squeeze some time out to do some housework & laundry. Packed our bag for the next trip before bedtime.

On Wednesday, we went over to mummy's place, while Bao Bei went to dine with his ex colleagues. I had dinner with Ah Yee, Mummy & Brother @ Queenstown Hawker Centre. Slept over @ mummy's place for the night, and poor Miu Miu misses us again.

Flew in to HCM on Thursday morning, we checked into our rooms & walked over to Ben Thanh Market for lunch. Nothing to do for Day 1 as everyone was tired. We rested in our rooms till evening & walked around the district while waiting for daddy to travel over from Can Tho. Daddy managed to reach @ 10pm & we headed for supper @ a Chinese Restuarant.

The next day, we managed to catch my ex CG mbr & her hubby - Ha & Li Ren for dinner @ a yummy seafood restaurant. I believed the food is quite pricy but very popular among the more well-to-do locals. We had a great time catching up. This photo is taken @ a coffeeplace after our dinner. The food was so delicious that we had no time to take a group photo. Hahaha...

Ha & Li Ren shown us another beautiful side of the City. And it was amazing to see how well planned & developed it was. HCM is really a wonderful place. It is so different from what we saw from TV, the news and the internet. Truly, before we went there, we had little expectation of the city, but now, we see the city with a different view and a better understanding.

My family & I enjoyed ourselves very much during this trip. We went to so many different markets but most of all, it's the bonding I had with my mum after the big quarrel we had a few months ago. Our relationship improved since the day I moved out. Maybe like what we always say absence made the heart fonder.

A New Life

2009-09-09T05:48:00.000+08:00

It had been ages since I last blogged. Well, lotsa things happened; good & bad. But now, I am living in a happier place. :D

I had left my last job in GIC w/o securing a job. But it was all worthwhile Yes, the market is bad, and the job was promising. But end of the day, no amount of weath can buy back the joy I am enjoying now. Call me silly, call me weak, I don't care. All I know now is I AM HAPPY. I don't wish to share much why & what made I had gone thru' to make this decision. But I wanna share more what I had been doing recently. Cos I am truly enjoying every moment.

Upon leaving GIC on 28th July, I had been busy with my new home's renovation & shifting. I am very blessed to have Bao Bei to go through all the plannings & detailed budgetting. All I needed to do was to choose materials, colours and giving him my ideas.

On 12th August, we managed to move in, but the kitchen was not ready. And I had to live "kitchen-less" for more than a week. Unable to cook, my brillant supermum taught me to cook using the rice cooker. Oh my tian! It was life saver. Finally when the kitchen was ready, the usual home econs idiot turned into a cooking brainer. Hahaha... I was cooking all sorta dishes for Bao Bei everyday.

After unpacking for 3 days, 3 nights, I finally finished unpacking all the stuff on my own. Cos Bao Bei was having reservist. Thankfully, he was able to book out nearly every night, so I don't have to be home alone. Being able to stay home was also a good thing, as I had so much time to spare to wait for the delivery.

Last Wednesday, the coffee table & shoes cabinet finally came. Bao Bei & I simply love the overall look of our new home. Everything is simple and with a touch of uniqueness. Everyone on fb love my PINK kitchen. And I am so proud of it. Altou there was a lotsa hiccups during the reno, but the outcome was fabulous. Now Bao Bei & I spent majority of our time sitting at the dining table. It is the most windy part of the home & our temp study table. We have yet to buy a study table, cos we were deciding to get a desktop and where to place it. The storeroom is not ready yet, as the space is taken up by the 2 bathroom doors which we replaced.

Bao Bei's friend is supposed to collect from us in mid Sep. Hopefully, once the doors are given away, I can start packing & moving some stuff to the storeroom already.

Besides my new home, I am very thankful for God's assuring Words. When I gave in my resignation in June, I was very hesitant. I had planned to save up as much as I could before I left my job, but of course with the new home and lotsa new commitments, I was very worried. But God is so good, He blessed me with a very supportive husband and Bao Bei is very encouraging. He shared with me all the bills which we might expect and did a clear calculations for me. Everything was manageable. And by adjusting our lifestyles a little, I could take my time to think what I wanted to do next. Be it furthering my studies full time, or staying home & do freelance makeup, or looking for another job, I could just take my time.

For these past 2 months, there was a few makeup assignments which was sufficient to keep me occupied. And sometimes I would have make appointments with friends to have lunches, or enjoy a wannabe tai tai life of pedicuring and salon visit. Life is good. But I don't want to sit around for too long. I disciplined myself to wake up at 8:30am every morning. Feed Miu Miu, do housework, doing marketing, worshipping God, reading His Words. Everyday I was assured by Him about Him providing for us. There was one day which I clearly hear Him telling me that I could find a job by end Aug, which was about 2 weeks ago from the time I heard. I thought nothing about it. And true enough, propective employers been calling me. And there was 2 offers which were very attractive. Yesterday, I finally accepted & signed the Letter of Offer. I chose to work in a school. I had to travel very far, about 1.5hr, altou the other offer only takes me 1hr to travel. But Bao Bei shared something with me which I truly valued. Quote" would you rather suffer that 1.5hr of travelling time or tolerating 9hrs doing something you know you would not like in future?" Truly a wise man. I've got no problem with travelling, but I was lazy to step outta my comfort zone. I like the school's environment & jobscope, and most of all I don't have to face all the corporate world. I'm looking forward to the new place. I've decided to start only in Oct so I can visit my dad and a ex CG mbr in HCM.

I hope I can stay long in my new job. I always like to say, a fool would only do something over & over again and expect a different results.

Her World Event at KR+ (Kim Robinson Plus)

2009-05-19T09:23:00.004+08:00

Last Friday, I was able to help to doll up one of the 5 lucky ladies for Her World Event at KR Plus. My model was an Indonesian Business Editors who will be flying off to work in Sydney in 2 months time.
Started off with a chat with my model to help her relax a little. Next, I started trimming her eyebrows. She told me that she had not had groomed them since she went California 1 month ago. And her brows were very thick & bushy. I spent 10min shaving off the stray hair & thining them. I tried to keep it as natural as possible as thick brows are in fashion these days.

After the foundation, I decided to give her very natural eye makeup using brown & gold base. Next, I shade her eyelids with shimmery bronze and lined both her upper & lower lids with black eyeliner to enhance her deep set eyes. Our earlier chat gave me hint that she loves gliitery eyes makeup. Hence, I use a touch of Makeup Store glitter eye colour to complete the eyes.

Tadah!~~ A confident lady is a truly a beauty! I think the photos will be features in next month's series.

Finally, I used MAC Mineral Blusher for her cheeks and nude lip colour to complete her look.

Such A Lovely Day!

2009-05-15T10:07:00.000+08:00

I realised I drag myself to work everyday... Always thinking of taking MC. It's not good...
But today, I was excited for work. I just finished my Month End Report yesterday and have started on to new project. But work isn't my driving factor. I look forward to the make-up tonight!

Last week & today, I had been going to KRPlus(Kim Robinson Plus) to do makeup for one of their hair competition and today's a makeover thingy by Her World Magazine. I really thank God for people like Amy (my Mentor), who always impart her skills & giving me valuable advices. She gave their my contact and I am very greatful to her for helping me to have more exposure even at times I may doubt myself.

Am still waiting for the hairstylist to forward me the photos... :D Argghhh, just realised that I 4got to bring camera today AGAIN. So sotong!!!

Anywayz, A colleague gave me a packet of Peach Tea today, it really made my day even better! The fragant is so refreshing and the taste is so nice...

Aw... what a beautful Friday. TGIF

Sick :(

2009-04-04T21:45:00.000+08:00

Didn't realised that my constant backache could have been the start of osetoporosis . I had been seeing the physiotherapist for almost a month. Work gave no break for my hourly required exercise. My therapist said that my neck could be due to my nerves & X-ray dun tell much. Did an ultrascan during my last appointment. Had went to see 2nd opinon with Chiropractic, same answer. But I have been going thru so many checks & medical appointment that I'm really tired. Work is hectic, plus I'm new in the department. Not very good to always to be absent. Market turmoils & uncertainties made me worry if I ever will lose my job. Besides my back problem, my sinus had been worse and made me breathe thru my mouth for years. I had been referred to ENT - Ear, Nose, Throat dept to be further accessed by surgeon. If things go on smoothly, I will have to go thru a surgery to restructure my crooked nose bridge. Sounds like a pinful process. Praying hard.... good health in 2009.

Getting a dog is like getting married. It teaches you to be less self-centered, to accept sudden, surprising outbursts of affection, and not to be upset by a few scratches on your car.

Love?

2009-03-12T05:31:00.000+08:00

简单爱

说不上为什么我变得很主动
若爱上一个人什么都会值得去做
我想大声宣布对你依依不舍
连隔壁邻居都猜到我现在的感受
河边的风在吹着头发飘动
牵着你的手一阵莫名感动
我想带你回我的外婆家里一起
看着日落一直到我们都睡着
我想就这样牵着你的手不放开
爱能不能够永远单纯没有悲哀
我想和你骑单车
我想和你看棒球
想这样没担忧唱着歌一直走
我想就这样牵着你的手不放开
爱可不可以简简单单没有伤害
你靠着我的肩膀
你在我胸口睡着
像这样的生活我爱你你爱我
想~~~~~~简简单单~~~爱

Isn't this the kinda love when we 1st started dating? But I have seen many friends around me whose marriages had been broken. From friends to courtship to marriage then to enemies. It's really ironic to see that the person you once love has become your greatest hatred.

Simplicity is bliss. Many times, we are so caught with the pursuit of wordly materials that we work so hard & never am happy.

I guess we should just 简简单单爱 bah

A Different CNY

2009-02-02T17:26:00.000+08:00

This year, I went around with Bao Bei to visit his relatives. Altou, we had been together for 6yrs, but I had never went ard to do CNY visitation with his family before. We woke up about 8plus & headed to the 1st stop @ AMK. I tot there will be food but none. Hungry.. Sob sob...

Went to Jurong after that, the poor auntie had to prepare so much food herself. Thankfully my MIL & the rest of the aunties-in-law arrived shortly and food was delicious. I felt a bit boring at 1st, think is more hungry than bored. Hahah.. after eating, I managed to talk to a few of the cousin-in-law.

Next we headed to another 2 aunties' places (if I don't remember wrongly), Our last stop was at his 2nd uncle's place. His wife was the "Mei-Po" for my wedding day. Her cooking is fabulous! And I really adore that auntie-in-law. She's a very nice lady.

Ended the day about 6plus. Headed home & cleaned the tons of poo poo & pee pee at home. Tiring day.....

But this is really quite an enjoyable visitation for me, as I had not gone ard for yrs.

Moo Moo, happie niu yr!

"Babysitting"

2009-02-01T14:48:00.000+08:00

This week had been a hectic week. Since last Friday, I had been scrubbing the whole house till Sunday. On CNY eve, a group of 7 of us from the CG gathered to Chinatown for a mini-fellowship session. The crowd was lesser than the past years, probably due to the uncertainty in the economy, many had chosen to stay at home for a quiet moment. After much squeezing in the crowd, we sat at a nearby cafe when the fireworks shoot up the sky. We chatted alot & laughed non-stop. It was really quite entertaining. I think I haven't been counting down to any occasion for at least 3 yrs. Some of us even manged to took pictures in the crowd, Hahaha....

As Mich was flying off to visit Alvin on CNY day 1, she left her baby, Donut with us. Since Sunday, I had been cleaning tons of poos & pee around the house. Donut had been marking the whole house, while Miu Miu was upset with her new companion. I had to return home early for this whole week, to ensure no poo poo on the floor before mummy comes home.

My thought of getting a 2nd dog was immediately abolished since my experience of "babysitting" the 2 gals. It had been REALLY TIRING....!!! Oh my tian, and seeing my Miu Miu becoming more & more upset due to jealousy, made me feel guilty as well. In fact, Donut & Miu Miu grew up together as play pals. I don't understand why she had been so upset when Donut came & stay over. A week had past, Miu Miu had slowly adapted. Well, I guess it's a lesson learnt for me. No 2nd dog, unless is Miu Miu's kids. Otherwise, I shall spare my Bao Bei & I from more tiring chores.

Anywayz, I went for body massage early this morning at Raffles. Due to BF, my new home & my studies plan, I didn't sign up for the package despite how attractive it was. But this was not the point. The marketing lady immediately shown me another upon hearing that I wasn't too keen in signing the packge. Hello!!! Now is econony crisis lor, do u think I will wanna spent $2k over of $300over to enjoy myself, while I can get promo prices such as $30-68 for the same kinda spa treatment. But well, seriously... I think I shld really save up for my new home & studies. Anywayz, it was a total turn-off lah. I wonder how realistic these people are.

After my massge, I headed to Raffles CIty to have bunch & did a little shopping. I had been looking around for a new organizer. And PRINTS was having 10% discount off their organiser. And I bought a similar one as shown below. Of course, the one I got is a PINK one. Haha.. And I'm really pleased about it.

Ok, enough of my rumbling. Time for me to Lo Hei now....

Happy Lunar New Yr...

Crossroad

2009-01-21T14:14:00.000+08:00

In my last post, I mentioned that I will be furthering my studies in Finance in July, however, I had a good chat with Bao Bei last Sat and had told him my desire to try out a Visual Communication Cert. The cert is a 1year course in NAFA. The modules taught are basically quite simple.

Actually, I had always thought of going for my Finance Deg 1st then I will go for interests when my career settled down. However, working in the financial line for almost 5 years, I wonder if this is what I really want. I find no big effort in learning make-up,hairstyling, bookscraping,etc. But I take longer to learn financial stuff. However, I can excel in both. Of course, arts is something I love, and because of that, I read & explore more.

On the other hand, I thought that unless I have the interest else it will be tough to go through the 2 years of studies in my Finance Deg. So I'm going for to try out the Visual Comm cert for 1 term which will commerce in July, after 6 months, I will decide if I wanna continue the 2nd term or to go for my Deg. Things are not really confirmed yet. I'm praying for a direction. Design or finance? I'm really at a crossroad.

Next, if my new home. Bao Bei & I wanted to select the untis which are available in 2012 due to the higher floor units. But we had a sanity check with my mum today, and my bro is urging us to move out soon, so we can return him the room. I stay in a 3 room flat, and my dad is mostly overseas. My bro works perm night shift, hence all these 3 yrs in my current home, we don't have any problem, until I'm married. My bro wish to have his own room back. But we can't move out so soon if we were to select the 2012 units. My MIL's place is also a 3-room flat. My BIL is not married yet, and I dun wanna imposed them to made my BIL & MIL to stay in the same room. Unless, God make a way that we can get the only 2 units which are already available, else we really gotta wait. Headache.... sigh.... I told Bao Bei that we can rent Mich's unit 1st, but there are many concerns. Yeah, times are bad, it's better to save on the rental. But I relaly don't wish to imposed on our parents or in-law for another 2-3yrs. I pray God can make a way. Sigh, another crossroad.

Recently, I'm making a lotsa major decision. I had decided to quit my ministry after Easter production. I hope to spend more time with my family & Bao Bei. Lately, I just remembered that I had not been spending any holiday like X'mas, Good Friday with my family or hubby. I had also been neglecting Bao Bei and we had somehow not been communicating. It's only 6mths after our wedding, and I don't wish things to turn bad. I hope we can grow closer in God together. For 1st, I feel I should grow with him together, not as 2 individual. I think marriage really made one person to think & sacrifice. These are small sacrifices that I had to make. I still love my ministry, but I love my husband more I hope he can grow stronger in the Lord, and lead me in the family.

Am selecting my new home on 10th Feb. Pray things will fall in place...

2008~2009

2009-01-04T19:07:00.000+08:00

I ended my 2008 with goodness & embrace 2009 with much aniticipation. After a hearty X'mas celebation, 8 of us departed Sg for Malacca for a long weekend getaway. As it was X'mas production before the trip, I had made no preparation, hence we ended up with no itienary & no map. It was a little frusttrating for the drivers to be stuck in a traffic jam in the town for 1.5hr while we dozed off under the hot sun shining thru our windows. Nevertheless, the trip was still filled with enjoyment & fun. Thru' the trip, we got to know Warren & Daven better. I had never went on a trip wth my best friend-Sue Ann. It was an unforgettable trip and this is gonna be the start of more trips coming our ways. Hehe...

Work had been making improvement. With my prior experience in my previous department, I learnt to appreciate every details which I'm currently doing. Despites being there for less than a month, I had taken up almost 95% of the duties and will be taking up fully wef this month. People here are friendlier & culture is more US. Thank God for favour. Am planning to take up more responsibilities @ CF. Coming Thu is gonna be our 1st CF for 2009, and I am honoured to be able to lead worship for that day. Lately, I had been listening to more Christian CD. I am not a very CD person, but had learn to appreciate music more & seriously, music make it easier to concentrate in His presence.

Bao Bei & I made a trip to Yuan Ching Rd today to explore our new home estate. We are excited as we got a relatively queue number right after we pledge for our BF. Indeed, God always has been very good to us, and He always direct us in whatever decision we made. When coming to chosing our new home, He is again faithful & made His presence know to us. Thank u,Father & we got #28 in the queue!

Recently, I hjad a talk with a friend, and it reminded me of how I used to lay my life as a armour bearer for my ex-cgls. However, since I came to this not so new CG, things look a little different. I can't bring myself to click with the people, or rather we are always seldom around. Sometimes it's due to me serving at the backstage, sometimes is bcos we are overseas.At times, it's becos there is wedding to attend or some family matter. Whatever it is, I find myself distanting from everyone. A few days ago, I bumped into Glor in town. Bao Bei said I looked as if I won lottery when I saw her. LOL... Indeed, there is this great attachment I had with N378. Everyone of them is so dear to me. People like Clara, Cass, Glor, Kennick, Yao are people whom are close to my heart. Everytime when I see them, I will always feel so happy. Reflecting on this, I think I ought to lay my life for my curr cgl. It's not difficult but I dunnoe why I'm not doing it. Struggling for almost 6months, I think it's time to cut away that attachment I had for my previous cgl and move on. Well, wish me "luck". Looking forward for a stronger relationships @ CG.

New yr, new goals. Some of my 2009 resolutions will be:
- Sign up for my degree course in Econs & Finance by April 09. The course commerce in July.
- Keeping my hair long (yes, finally! Porbablt not very long lah, juz longer than now...kekeke)
- Taking part in one 10km marathon
- Improving my hairstyling skills & exploring more looks & technique for my make-up skills
- Going for mission trip
- Closer & stronger relationship in my current CG

The rest are confidential...hehe
Anywayz, no baby for now okie! Studies 1st,,,,

A Post Dedicated To My Dear Friends- Darling Girl & Boy

2008-12-19T09:04:00.001+08:00

6 months ago, I nearly lost both of you due to my untackfulness arises from my wedding preparations. Every little thing which both of you did for both Chris & I are never forgotten. We truly appreciate all your helps & unselfishness.

After my wedding, I called Karen Faith to converse my apology to you.I truly love the both of you & was fearful that I might lose you as my friends. Indeed, the overseas call that lasted more than 15min was worthwhile.

After the misunderstanding, the 4 of us ventured into a deeper understanding. Our overseas trips & moment you seen me even without my make-up, are times which no money can buy. You shared with me your advices of how to raise a puppy, every little things, I remembered them all. Tou we might not put them on our lips, but we're very thankful that we have angels like the both of you in our lives.

Two days ago, when Mich mentioned that Alvin will be going to Shenzhen on a long-term basis, I was taking it with a "ping chang xing". But today, when Alvin shared about the news after CG, I was very disturbed. I can't held but feel that I could have been able to help you but I was totally helpless. Being a friend, you were always a giver to us. But we're at loss when we can't give anything in return to help you tide through this. 2008 had been a challenging year for both of you. Indeed, both of you had been going through all the roller coaster moments.

I hope thing can get better for you. And there is so much that we can do until God works. Waiting & waiting, that's tough. If only I can help. If only I can do something. This is what I pray for you. Thinking of the days when you guys will depart Sg for long term pains my heart. I wish the day will never come. But only you know, and God knows, what's best for you.

I hope that I can visit you often & keep in touch with you constantly, I wish 2nd Jan will NOT come as fast.

Saying Goodbye is Never Easy

2008-12-19T04:51:00.000+08:00

I can't tell you how many times I had gone thru this. Saying goodbye is really hard.

When i was in primary school, my closest friend left for Aus. And when I was in my teens, many left Sg for a few years to further studies. And my dearest darling- Dave, whom is now happily married in Australia. It pains me to see them going. Although I know they are happier, as they had found someone who love them. But going through this is no joke. And now, my 2 very close friends, Mich & Alvin is leaving too. I can't help but feel the loss.

I hope neither of us, will walk out of each other's life.

Ended My Race

2008-12-17T19:15:00.000+08:00

Wef 16 Dec 2008, I had OFFICALLY transferred to the new department. In fact, I had started the work on a half daily bais since 1st Dec. The last 2 days at my old department were extremely busy. I received last minute arrow that I was suppose to resume all work duties for Friday & Monday so to release the contract staff (whom was suppose to replace me), help help in another team with their month end closing.

With numerous errors happening the week before, all work was piling up. In fact, 1 whole week were was left till the last 2 days for me to do. I worked till 9:30pm on my "last day". I could have walked out of it without finishing my work (like some other people) but pastor had often taught us to be a good finisher. I left the place with no burden but was a pity that I was unable to have a proper goodbye session with my peer. We had a team lunch on Thursday & a tea session on Friday. But not everyone was present. My ex-AD was not around despite paying $150 for the Delifrance Hi-Tea. Hehehehe.

Was suppose to go around to thank them but was really too busy with work. So yesterday, I ordered Yami Yoghurt for both my new dept & my old dept. Barely a few days into my new dept, I got tremendously lotsa emails. More than 500 mails still storing in my Lotus notes UNREAD! I hope to scn thru as much as I can by tomorrow.

Feeling a little stressed for I am a perfectionist & hope to acheive minimial mistakes even tou I'm new there. For these 2 days, I had already made 5 minor careless mistakes. Very often, I don't like to be chased after (in term of work). I was really kan chiong when my supervisor kept pushing me to send out some numbers this aftnoon. I hope to be more focused & no room for mistakes. Excellence!!!! I must pray for efficiency & accurancy at work.

Work aside, in my earlier post, I mentioned that I had to set my printer up to do something important. Not being able to disclose too much details earlier, as it was suppose to be surprise for a dear friend of mine- Carcar. Together with my otehr dear friends- Tink & Mich, we plotted to made her a scrapebook that is memorable & filled with loves & surprises. Pictures which she might have forgotten & moments captured from the days she 1st came to Sg, knowing us & befriending us.

So here it is... enjoy....

The different moments with Carcar

The tears, fun, joy, laughters

Our note for her (1st one from the left: Mich did hers only after I took the photo)

Gals party on her actual day. Could see Carcar almost teared when she saw the scrapebook.

Earlier I also mentioned hat I had finished sortd out all my 1000 wedding day photos. I even decorated the cover with some basic bookscraping.

I took about 1 week to sort them out. Burnt lotsa midnight oil.

Been busy with making X'mas card recently. Just a few days to finish. Hopefully I can make as much as possible. :S

Here's the preview... more are coming its way....

Till the next time I blog, Merry X'mas & Happy New Year!

Hubby-Less

2008-11-27T10:37:00.000+08:00

Finally, managed to sort out all my wedding photos on Tue. Was on leave on Mon pm & Tuesday as Miu Miu was sick. She puked on Mon morning & Tue night. However, she had regained her appeittie last evening. So I guess she's feeling betetr after I gave her the de-worming pill.

As Bao Bei is on reservist this week, I spent my week sorting photos, planning Eric's wedding, and making X'mas card which I learnt from my Bookscraping class. I have problem installing my photo printer. Dunnoe why also. Frustrated!!! I hope I can install by tonight, tou the deadline was last nite. I tried numerous time, and there is something wrong which the driver which kept on hanging upon the installation is done. Argh!!! Dunnoe why lah. It was always easy to install when I tried the last time. I really really need to get this done SOON. I need the photos for some stuff. And I dun wanna get them printed at the photo development shops can I wanna chose the size that I wanna print. God, pls! Help me get this done by tonight.

Feel Loved

2008-11-20T04:31:00.000+08:00

Bao Bei had been very sweet to me yesterday. He surprised me with my favourite Famous Amos cookies & bought me a charm from Swaroski.

I am a lover of charm. In fact I have about 5 charms from Agnes B already. And this is juzt another additions to my collections. Awesomely loved....

Mmmmmm

2008-11-18T04:26:00.000+08:00

Breakfast is very important to me as I normally don't take dinner. I like eating alot in the morning, it gives me energy to start my day. Had a strong craving for blueberry muffin last night and made a visit to Starbucks. Too bad, it was sold out. This morning, my craving didn't die... went to Starbucks again, in search to ease my craving. Hehehe... Managed to got it. Mmmmm... so yummy, really made my day.

Asia Conference starts tomorrow. Recently the system for my daily job gone bonker again, sigh...hope the jobs run smoothly so I can also attend Wed & Thu evening session. Praying hard.... There is so many things to do; Work, Asia Conference, ministry,CG, sorting my wedding photos, making card for a friend, looking for gift for Su-Lyn's baby, doing X'mas shopping. Haven't gone shopping since the last time I went out with Faith & guys for the makeover contest. Sorting wedding photos 1st! Need to show Mama-in-Law.

Goodbye 2008

John Stephen Akhwari

John Stephen Akhwari was an Olympic athlete at the 1968 Summer Olympics.

He represented Tanzania in the marathon but he fell during the race badly cutting his knee and dislocating the joint. Rather than quitting, he continued running. He finished last among the 74 competitors.

When asked why he ran he said simply, "My country did not send me 7000 miles away to start the race. They sent me 7000 miles to finish it."

Psalm 65:11

“You crown the year with Your goodness, And Your paths drip with abundance.”

It is important not to just start the year well, but remember to end it well. I'm still hanging on to His Hands of Grace. I want to end this year well. Maybe not a big bang! But with a more postive attitude & a stronger relationship with God & Bao Bei.

Hebrews 12:2 (Amplified Bible)

Looking away [from all that will distract] to Jesus, Who is the Leader and the Source of our faith [giving the first incentive for our belief] and is also its Finisher [bringing it to maturity and perfection]. He, for the joy [of obtaining the prize] that was set before Him, endured the cross, despising and ignoring the shame, and is now seated at the right hand of the throne of God.

Can't wait for 1 Dec to come, when I cross over half-daily to the new dept.

Beautiful Monday

2008-11-10T04:23:00.000+08:00

It's such a wonderful day today. A gal fren of mine had finally reconciled with her hubby after months of battle. It is really a piece of good news and I'm really happy to see them getting out of the "valley" time.

Another gal fren whose hubby is normally not so romantic sent her flowers to her office on Friday to encouraged her, knowing that she had been mistreated by her fellow colleagues & superiors.

Joy is indeed contagious. And these brought energy to my tired heart. The retreat was not as bored as I anticipated. It was great to get to know the new colleagues in my office. One of them whose name is Chiam is such a fun. He has a PhD at the age of 28. Not proud or arrogant, he is always so on the ball for any kinda jokes played on him. Indeed my office has many such people, who is smart but yet street smart. I'm really honoured to meet these people. Of course, nothing is perfect. having good people around doesn't mean that there ain't hypocites around. Once bitten, twice shy. I learnt my lesson the hard way. Now, I played it well. No personal question, no meddling with other's affairs. Learnt to zip my mouth shut.

Soon when Dec comes, I will be going to the new department. I hope to start all over again. The new boss gave me 6mths to learn. Else I will need to leave the company. I don't wanna make myself so desperate too. I will do my best, and let the rest to God. If ever, I had to leave. I will finish the race well.

Indeed, I hope I will end this year well.

Good Friends Are Hard To Come By

2008-11-04T18:10:00.000+08:00

I am really disgusted by this ex-colleague of mine who appeared to be so nice to me but behind my back, she claimed that she don't like me.

I IM-ed V if K was pregnant as I saw her on the street earlier. My concern was that she is pregnant and she will be Eric's wife-to-be MUA in December. And his mother/ MIL might be superspicious that the good luck might crashed. Hence, I adviced V to tell K to inform Eric about her pregancy in case Eric's family mind. V acted that she didn't know & claimed that she had not contacted her since she left our company. She said that will informed her in late Nov when she see K at a wedding. However, immediately, V smsed K that I knew about her pregnancy. K went to scold our common friend, S, which informed me about the ridiculous accusation. K evencommented that she will be very angry if S was the one who tell me tales about her pregnancy. And she even said that she don't like me!

V is such a fake, a big mouth. Claiming that she don't keep in contact with K, There she is tales telling behind my back which she ommited about my concern about Eric's wedding.

K is even a bigger fake. She's such a bitch. I had never remember offended her, and what gave her the reason to badmouthed me to people. U see, people. I helped to be her model for her makeup exams, recommended her job when I knew she was out of job, I even recommended her for makeup assignment. Here she is, appearing to be nice to me, taking advantage of me, getting deals from me, but there she is behind my back, bitching about me whith no valid reason. Damn, I'm pissed lor.

I seriously wanna call her up & scold her but had hold back as this might cause any misunderstanding between S & K. In fact, like what Princess Sukiyaki said, good friends are hard to come by. And come to think of it, it is a real gem to find someone who can click with u, tell u off infront of u,rather than gossipping behind ur back, and still accept u for who u are. And I am extremely furious with K now. She better learn to keep her bloody mouth shout,else she will reap whatever she sow.

K.C.W.L, u are such a bitch.

Darling Friends

2008-10-23T06:49:00.000+08:00

Ok, this is so overdue. I only remember that I was suppose to post these up while I chance upon the folder just now. Opps...

In Aug, my darlings friends celebrated my birthday for me @ Su-Lyn's place. It was our 1st ever all couple gathering. And so happened, it was the Beijing Olympics Female Table Tennis Finals between Sg & China.

After Sunday service, Shyshy,Bao Bei & I went to supermarket @ JP & bought all the ingredients. Bao Bei & I cooked pasta with 2 kinda sauces. 1. Minced chicken & pork with tomato sauce. 2. White sauce with Mushroom. Su-Lyn darling prepared sausages. Bao beu's white sauce was more popular, cos the onion in the red sauce wasn't soft snough. But anywayz, we kinda finished most of the food. Only left 1 small bowl of red sauce & some pasta. oh yeah, we messed up Su-Lyn's kitchen, hahaha...

My 2 darling friends gave me a very pretty accessories holder. It's shown on the 1st pict, which is a lady figurine. So pretty wor.

We took some group photos before Bao Bei left for his work @ Suntec. I stayed & watch the table tennis match with the gals. But was losing focus. In the end, we hid in Su-Lyn's room & gossip. Teehee...

We chatted till nearly 11, and Warren & Shyshy drove me home. They came up & see Miu Miu too. Finally at 12:30am, we called it a day.

Reflecting

2008-10-23T06:18:00.000+08:00

I think I'm really bossy and like to do thing the way I want it. So how? Take for eg. for the makeover, I always call the shot. I wanna take other's opinion but subconciously, I blah blah blah, verbal diarrohea. Gosh! Help me!

She Shops, I Shop

2008-10-22T21:04:00.000+08:00

Surprisingly, there easn't a lot of work in office today. I managed to leave office by 6:30pm. Faith & HQ were still @ the salon. Hence, I had dinner @ Toast Box & waited for Jessica to reach. We shopped abit before they arrived. We had Faith & Zhiqiang for the makeover, George as the photographer, HL,HQ,Avin,June,YJ and myself as their fashion police. Faith managed to get a nice dress from Tian. Actaully I liked the dress & tot of buying it if she dun get it, but well, turned out the response was quite good, so she got the dress.

We shopped around and went to many shops, but ended up only buying a business pants for Faith which was very nice & fitting for her frame. She tried a few tops but nothing was good enough. U see, when the smart casual is at that level, it's hard to find something even better for her formal wear. I just hope I can find some inspiration before Sat, or at least something in my wardrobe can do the job. Praying...~~~ And researching for more outstanding outfits.

I think the whole idea of this contest is to build our bonding together. It was really fun to end work early today & shopped with them,despites how tired I was. And yes, I'm exhausted, I hardly admit that I'm tired. But this time round, I have 8 pimples growing on my face!!! YES, 8!!! OMT... Just hope it's really that stupid Sunblock I used at Bintan that caused the problem. Till date, I had did 1 hydrating mask, exfoliate and applying treatment cream. I hope thing can get better before Sat, else I will have to cake me face with concealer which I hate to do so. Maybe an emergency facial is needed. Let's see... Oh man, that was so random, hahaha...After shopping we went to Tan Quee Lan St for fish bee hoon. Fellowshipped a little, and Avin & HQ sent me home. **Giggle** Thank God for car in CG.

I bought a dress from Raffles Place during lunch today. And a pair of cute shoes at Bugis Junction just now.

I didn't take a very gd picture of the dress as my camera is with Bao Bei, so this is from my hp. Not very clear tou. But I adore the dress very much. Intending to wear for the photoshoot for Ah Tak in Dec. We'll see how lah. :p

The shoes is very cute,sweet & cheap. Finally I have a pair of white flats. Hopefully it won't get dirty so soon. :D

Anywayz, Bao Bei is in Desaru now and will be back on Friday morning. Forgotten to call him just now, I think he's sleeping now. I can't really sleep cos had a cuppa tea during dinner time. So hence, I blog. Teeheee,,,

Bintan

2008-10-22T13:07:00.000+08:00

Last Thursday night, I reached home after CG & rushed through to pack our bags for the trip to Bintan. Last week had been a crazy week for me; worked till past midnight on Monday, more OTs on Tue, Wed Ot again & finally Thu came when I had to go for CG.

Early morning on Friday, after feeding Miu Miu, I woke Chris up to get ready & we took Nasi leamk for breakfast. I had no appeittie. Guessed this week had been too rushed for me, my stomach can't take the stress again. Off we go, took a cabbie & reached Tanah Merah Ferry Terminal for our ferry. Bao Bei had no indea that we're going to N Island. He thought that we were going to Banya Tree @ Bintan. Hehehe... 1hr & 15min ferry, during the journey, the ship rocked left & right non-stop. Seated near the front area, I experienced motion sickness & closed my eyes & rest. Finally arrived at Bintan Ferry Terminal. I was about to tell Bao Bei where we were going, but his hp ranged. Making our way to the custom, I saw a staff holding the sign " N Island VIP Guest". I walked towards her & Bao Bei was shocked. I told him we were going N Island but he was still on the phone, unable to recover from the surprise. We were ushered to the VIP lounge.. wow...feel so shiok to be VIP. The lounage hadv their own private restroom. The staff took our passports & helped us with the Immigration procedure.

After waiting for 10min, the staff showed us to the N Island driver. He took us thru' the Bintan island for 1hr. Once we stopped along the road & I puked my breakfast. Still feeling unwell tou. After 1 hr, we finally reached the private jetty. Again I pucked even more. All my breakfast gone. Felt much better.

Another 30min ferry trip to N Island but we were feeling all excited. When we reached, there were 3 staff, one placed a stool for us to get out fr the boat. Yogi Bear welcomed us & we had our 1st Yogi Welcome Darink @ the bar. Yum Yum... very nice.

Our room were Room 1, just located near the beach & Bar. There were no lock for the doors except the 2 restrooms in both storey. No air-con, no TV, just a bed in the centre of the room under the mosquitoes net. Nice view... downstair was a swinging bed & 2 beach benches, 1 massage bed, sink area & a washrooms and a small living room. Nice... everything was very basic but beautiful. Bao Bei couldn't accepted the fact that the cost of the trip was as much as Banyan tree but we had no air-con & tv, and not a decent lock for the room. But I assured him that everything was just fine.

The 3 days there was great. We slowed down our movement,unlike the time we were in Singapore, always in a hurry. Food was super delicious. (Will blog abt tat some other time) We spent time swimming, kayaking, sailing, picking up seashell, tracking. We ate marshmallow at the camp fire, lying down counting stars. We even saw shooting star!!! We saw many marine life. We made jewel out from thr seashell we picked. Saw many spiders! And monitor lizards. We climbed the rocks, under the rocks... and I fell, LOL....

I totally love the trip. Wish I have the chance to go back again.

There is so much to talk about but I shall keep it to myself as N Island is still not very popular yet. I wish to keep it low profile and hope to visit the lovely place again.

More pictures are uploaded on Facebook.

Be Appreciative

2008-10-21T05:56:00.000+08:00

While I am complaining about how dreadful my job is, there are people out there who are out of job, I should learn to keep my mouth shut & be appreciative of what I am. My trip to N Island had made me realise who blessed I am. The staff there are uneducated but appreciate their boss that they still have a decent job. They are very low self esteem and always think that there are nowhere else they can go to. But with sincerity of customer service they give and the desire of learning, I believe they can go far. And the boss & managers should value them. Who knows one day, some big bosses from anotehr big resort might visit & poach them, then N Island will lose its flavour.

2008-10-13T14:57:00.000+08:00

Me: Why do u want me to give so much all the time?

G: Cos I wanna bless My all to you.

And, I teared...

Wrong Direction?

2008-10-13T12:26:00.000+08:00

There is still no reply about my transfer. waiting, waiting & more waiting. Patrick sms-ed me last evening & offered me a job @ his new workplace. The jobscope covers group treasury & investment. I was truly surprised by the sms as he was one of those I detested working with. But somehow, I don't understand why he so like me,always trying to talk to me during my days in CAAS. I asked for more details about the job, not really keen in the position but was more keen in checking out my current market worth. I dropped him a reply & told him to share with me more about the work & company prospective. But inside my heart, I felt really hypocite.

He ranged me earlier this morning and offered me the positions to assist him directly. I only have a diploma and being directly under him could mean many great opportunities for me. He will be heading the team and together 4-5 of us will start the new department call Group Treasury & Investment. Sound tempting, isn't it? But knowing Patrick thru' & thru', I was not agreeable in the way he works. Like what Sheryl said, he does like to push & bully his way thru' to get his things done. Isn't what the corporate world is doing ALL THE TIME? It wasn't uncommon. But yet, we are IN the world but not OF the world. We are not conform to the standards of the world. Again, I felt very very attracted to the job offered. I listened & really thought of considering the offer. I told Patrick that I am going for my holiday this weekends, and will meet him for lunch/a meal to talk over the overall package. But still, NO peace.

I remembered ast weekends, I wrote on my offering envelope, asking God to show me a way in my career path. Is this the way??? I MSN-ed Sheryl and asked more about P's working style. I knew if I were to go over, I would even be busier and worse, I will not be able to serve, expecting to work thru the wee hours. But the future looks good & bright. I will have the chance to learn a lot of things & know many important people, IF i join him. In 5years time, I will earn at least 2times my salary even with a diploma.

But the Holy Spirit kept proding me, so I sms-ed him an hr ago to reject the offer. I thanked him for remembering me & looked so highly of me, but I could not accept the offer as I had to further my studies in July and I don't think I am qualify for the position. I guess some may think that I'm stupid or stubborn, But I just had to listen to God, I cannot work & look up to my boss who will be teaching me the wrong aspects in work. I am not being holy here but I will not do something that will made me lower the standards of God & my characters. Today, I may not be prosper, but I know that today, I had sacrifice my "Isaac" on that altar.
***********************************************************************************************

Bao Bei & I went Night Safari on Saturday and we went at the right time,hehe... They were having some Halloween celebration there. The ushers were dressed as vamparies, chinese ghost, skeletons. So fun! Even the F&B were all aligned to the same theme. Actually, Night Safari was selling this Hallowen party theme package,but tickets were all sold out for all the days. I insisted on going there despites the special tickets were sold out. The normal entry tickets were still on sales,hence we were still able to go. I had never been to Night Safari and Bao Bei was saying it had improved a lot since he went there during his Sec school days. Wow... it was like more than 10 years. The weather was quite good, windy & cool, despites a few mosquitoes which bit Bao Bei. Most of the animals were visible, we even passed by 2 huge elephants. So near... can even wave to them. I didn't managed to take any pictures on the tram as no flash light was allowed, as it could blind the animals. It was nice to see so many animals are so well-taken of in our zoo. However, the numbers of them were getting lesser as compared to the last time I went to the zoo. And the size of the tigers,lions & leopards are getting smaller as compared to what I saw on National Geographic. They look like cubs. I wonder if my great grand children will ever have the chance to see what I've seen in many years down the road? Indeed, human had destroyed & ruined the nature. These poor animals are getting affected by what we so-called urbanization. Are we doing the right thing??? Anyway, I really am not a very environmental person. I guess we just gotta treasure whatever we have now, so that we can preserve for our future generation.

Oh well, we really had a very good time on Sat. Some pictures for sharing...

I watched Mama Mia 2 weeks ago and man... I was HOOKED. The songs reminded me of the days where daddy would play his tape on Sunday morning, humming the songs to me when I sit on his laps. No wonder he love those songs, they're really good.
I think the old songs are nicer than new ones these days. Yeah, it may be quite surprising for you to hear this from me, but I'm really not an updated person with songs/music. I prefer watching/ listening to my daddy's CDs. Altou, I may look trendy but I'm quite old inside. Hahaha...

Some of my favs are:
- Grease (1978): That's why my dad named me Sandy after watching the show
- The King & I (1956) by Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II [Not Anna & the King]
- The Sound of Music (1965)
- My Fair Lady (1964)
- Le Misérables
- Cats
- Phantom of the Opera

Most of these shows were shown even before I was born. All thanks to my parents whom into these really wonderful shows to me. Go check them out if you can. Trust me, u will fall in love with them.

Enjoy!

Here's a little Super Trouper from Mama Mia

Super Trouper
Beams are gonna blind me
But I won't feel blue
Like I always do
'Cause somewhere in the crowd
There's you

I was sick and tired of everything
When I called you last night from Glasgow
All I do is eat, and sleep, and sing
Wishing every show was the last show
So imagine I was glad to hear you're coming
Suddenly it feels alright
And it's gonna be so different
When I'm on the stage tonight
Tonight the

Super Trouper
Lights are gonna find me
Shining like the sun
Smiling, having fun
Feeling like a number one
Tonight the
Super Trouper
Beams are gonna blind me
But I won't feel blue
Like I always do
'Cause somewhere in the crowd
There's you

Facing twenty thousand of your friends
How can anyone be so lonely?
Part of a success that never ends
Still I'm thinking about you only
There are moments when I think I'm going crazy
But it's gonna be alright
And it's gonna be so different
When I'm on the stage tonight
Tonight the

Super Trouper
Lights are gonna find me
Shining like the sun
Smiling, having fun
Feeling like a number one
Tonight the
Super Trouper
Beams are gonna blind me
But I won't feel blue
Like I always do
'Cause somewhere in the crowd
There's you

So I'll be there
When you arrive
The sight of you will prove to me
I'm still alive
And when you take me in your arms
And hold me tight
I know it's gonna mean so much tonight
Tonight the

Super Trouper
Lights are gonna find me
Shining like the sun
Smiling, having fun
Feeling like a number one
Tonight the
Super Trouper
Beams are gonna blind me
But I won't feel blue
Like I always do
'Cause somewhere in the crowd
There's you
Super Trouper
Beams are gonna blind me.

I Need Direction

2008-10-06T15:29:00.003+08:00

I am starting to get bored of my work. Not that I hate my employer, it's just the nature of the job which I can't enjoy. Everyday I do data extraction, fixing data, dealing all all the technical stuff. I am not IT trained but I have to be IT equipped due to the job requirement. I don't mind if I understand but the learning curve is really very steep. My colleagues who are IT trained will take 2 years to master the system. How about me? Without training, expertise or experience, I had to learn on job. My bosses are very kind & patient, so do my colleagues. Of course, there are days which they can get frustrated with me. And I simply understand their frustration. But day in,day out, I tried my very best to understand & do my best. But trying is just not enough.

My bosses had put me up for recommendation for transfer to another department. The jobscope is more situable for me. I had went thru 2 informal interviews with them. But I had yet to hear any news. Waiting, waiting & more waiting. The position is not filled yet. My bosses said I will excel there. Everyone says so. But someone asked me this... "Then what do u think???" I stood there in silence. What do I really want?

Friends, I dunnoe about u, but very often I come to a point in my job where I will think & ask myself, where I am heading. I always think that deg is everything. Always think... "If I have a deg....., If I have a deg...." But so what? We can never be satify unless we live to our max potential. But what is my potential?
beside serving God in make-up ministry, helping here & there @ CG, what else is there for me? Ponder..ponder...ponder

I just pray for now that I can get the transfer quick. I hope thing will gets better... God, is that what U want me to do/go?

Complaints are not always bad.

Singnet called me this morning & said I can collect my laptop on the 10th instead of 20th. Yay!

Tangs emailed me back & invited my husband & I for a complimentary meal at Island Cafe.

2 Yay!!!

So, come to think of it, I won't get what I deserved if I never complaint. Right???

Words are definitely powerful...

Another Lousy Service

2008-10-02T14:56:00.003+08:00

I think the level of customer service in Singapore is really getting worst. Over the year, countries like HK, Thailand, India, M'sia are improving, many even exceeded us. It's time to reflect on what we're doing. Are we overly satisfied with what we achieved in the early days of success. Or are we demanding more & more as we move on? Over the past 2 days, I had really bad experiences. The 1st was with Singnet as I had blogged earlier and yesterday was with Tangs. That was the worst service I even experienced.

Subject: Island Cafe- Catherine Tan's Lousy Service

Venue: Island Cafe (Orchard)
Date: 01 October 2008 (Wed)
Time: Between 19:15- 19:30hr
Person Involved: Catherine Tan

Dear Sir/ Mdm,

I just want to share with you how disappointed I was with the level of
service at Tangs Orchard Island Cafe yesterday. I wish to complaint about
your cashier, Catherine Tan about how unprofessional and rude she was to
me. Not only that, she shown no respect for the customers and challenged me
when I asked for her name. We simply don't deserved to be charged of the
10% service charge to our card, and I don't think we will ever want to eat
at Island Cafe again with such poor attitude and lousy service she had
portrayed as a representative of Tangs.

After a hearty meal, my husband & i called for the bill, upon waiting for
about 15 minutes, the bill was still not here. So my husband & I greatly
made out way to the cashier to wait for our bill as we knew that it was the
Tangs 12% storewide rebate for CitiBank Card members, hence the staff were
very busy. Standing there for another 5 minutes, your staff did not greet
us, look at us or even acknowledge our presence until we asked if we could
have the bill. She quickly printed out the receipt and handed us the bill.
My husband decided to pay by his CitiBank Card and promptly waited for the
cashier to collect the bill. Again, your staff did not bother about us. We
smiled & gave them the bill and they just put it aside while processing our
bills. Another 5 minutes wait, we stood there without knowing if she will
ever process our payment. I prompted your cashier if she can process since
we are already standing here. She ignored me while still in the midst of
discussion with another female staff. I had to prompt on second attempt in
order to get her attention. I told her we had been standing here for the
longest time, and wish that she may process our bill faster. She raised her
voice at me & claimed that there are many customers waiting for their bills
too, while she charged her right arm into her waist and using her left hand
slamming the bill board onto the table. This kind of attitude is
intolerable! Immediately,
I asked for her name and told her she was seriously rude and I was shocked
at the level of service she had given to me. When I asked for her name, she
shouted back her name that she was CATHERINE. Wow! Excellent, isn't it???
She dared to challenge me by shouting at me that she was CATHERINE!
I told her that I am going to make a complaint about her since she is
sooooooooooooo displeased with serving me. And she is the WORST service
personnel I've ever seen in Singapore. Not only did she NOT apologise for
her actions & behaviours, she made it worse by giving me a super black
face. Only after telling her how long we had waited & hurried her for
another last time, she finally gave us the bill and receipt. Throughout
the 10min I had with Catherine, she shown no remorse, sincerity or respect.
She, by shouting at me, slamming things, showing me her black face and not
even acknowledging our presence, had shown no sight of professionalism. Her
service is disgusting & demeaning to us.

As per my best knowledge, Tangs had been achieved & had been nominated the
GEMS Award by STB for many years. However, today, I would say if Tangs were
to continue to allow their staff to provide us with such horrifying
service, you can jolly well forget about even been nominated for the award.
Competitors like Metro, Robinson and many other departmental stores are
serious in retaining their customers & even other countries like Hong Kong
& India know the importance of excellent customer service. If Catherine
does not know how to control her temper in the midst of her busyness, she
would cause tangs to lose even more customers. If she doesn't know how to
handle stress, she should consult an anger management therapist. Today
being in the frontline, you got to know how to keep your cool, not throwing
tantrum at your customers. We don't owe you anything, and we just wanted to
enjoy our meal & pay our bill and leave. Not only did Catherine not GO the
Exra Mile for Service (GEMS), she had thrown me in anger in many miles.
Always remember the words of mouth is very influential, if today, I were a
tourist, my impression of Singapore will be tarnished because of Catherine.
Words will spread around and Tangs's reputation will be gone around the
world. Hence, please do know that this matter is very serious and affect
the reputation of Tangs and the level of service in Singapore.

I wish the management to look into the matter & conduct a thorough
investigation. Please get back to me on your actions taken and shall you
need any clarification from me, please feel free to contact me. I demand
for an apology from Catherine. The management should consider in relocating
her somewhere in the backoffice rather than putting her to the frontline if
she do not know how to conduct herself in a proper manner. I seriously look
forward for your reply very soon.

Regards,
Sandy Tan

Their reply

Dear Sandy,

A Good Day to you.
Thank you very much for taking your valuable time to write to us on the incident.

We sincerely appreciated your sharing with us, particularly on the incident with our staff at Island cafe. Immediately after learning about what has transpired, we counselled our staff and she regret her insensitive body language and tone towards you.
We have further coached her to be at her best while serving customers as excellent customer service is paramount at TANGS.

Thank you for understanding about the busy period and the overwhelming response over the 12& day for our staff however, it is not an excuse for our staff to behave inconsiderably.

Once again, we sincerely apologise over this service lapse and hope that this incident will not deter you from shopping at TANGS and we really look forward to the pleasure of serving you when you next visit our store.

If i can be of further assistance to you, please do not hesitate to contact me at email XXX@tangs.com.sg

Regards,
XXX

Actually I am still very mad over the whole incident, I am letting this rest becos the party involved is my ex CGL. And Chris felt I shld let this matter rest, it's simply not worth arguing.

I am frustrated but I had to let her off. Catherine, u're not so lucky all the time, better buck up!!!

Annoyed

2008-09-30T15:34:00.003+08:00

You know what, this is so annoying. I signed up for Sintel Mio Plan during the IT fair last month due to it's attractive deal of a free Acer Aspire One AOA150.
I waited & waitied for more than 15days and they sent me a registered mail telling me it will only be redeemable in late Oct- early Nov. What the heck! They are so prompt in sending me the bill which I had barely utilise the service as I only have 1 laptop at home & the other desktop which somehow, don't know what my bro did to the Window Vista making it impossible to surf net now. Now they're telling me to wait another month???!!! And guess what they said on the letter? "Due to overwhelming response to the promotion..." I am annoyed, truly frustrated. I think I have already been very reasonable to waited this long whereby they had earlier told me I could receive my laptop when upon installation of the service. Today is already the 25th day I have waited, and they're asking me to wait another 20 or so days? Won't u be pissed?

Miu Miu's 1st Swim

2008-09-29T15:56:00.003+08:00

I thought all dogs are naturally swimmer. Without thinking, I threw Miu Miu into the pool and was shocked to see her sinking. She was freaking out. Oh my tian!!!
I hurried & reached out my hands to support her, I hope I didn't drown her. Felt so guilty...

Despite Miko's 2nd swim, she was also struggling to keep herself float. Arrr... cham! Both Mich & I supported them and encouraged them to swim, shouting out their names, hugging them, praising them. Miu Miu was shaking in fear or cold? **Shake Head** But after about 15min, she was able to swim without much help. Miko & her managed to swim 2 laps. Awww... that's our gals!!! Woohoo...

The Dog Pool was so much fun. I think it was really a great time together with Miu Miu. She exercised alot yesterday. Heehee... After swimming, Mich pom-pom for the gals, we just towel dried them & let them run around. Miu Miu finally opened out & played with other fur pals. She's such a indoor gal.. today she improved alot.

After swimming, we brought her to my MIL's place which both Bao Bei & Miu Miu napped. I was half dozing off while waiting for Shyshy's call.

We headed for steamboat at Shyshy's place & was totally blown away by Warren's Transformers' Collection. I think he had more than 1000 of them!!! And all nicely kept & displayed. And guess what, Shyshy still said it's messy. Oh my tian!
We had a very good time fellowshipping & watching the F1 Race Live.

We went home about 9plus, Su-Lyn & Perryn gave us a lift. Miu Miu & I finally KO at about 12midnight while Bao Bei had already KO at 11pm.

I think Miu Miu is having muscle ache. This morning when I touched her, she seemed to be in pain. So I gave her a little massage and she looked like she's enjoying it. Hahaha... Ok, Miu Miu, mummy sayang...massage,massage

1 Week Time

2008-09-26T13:58:00.003+08:00

In a week time, Miu Miu will turn 6 months. Her milk teeth are dropping, and I only managed to retrieve 1 tooth. The rest are all inside her stomach which she had swallow them mistakenly as treat.
Still remember the days when Mummy refused to let her come home. Today, Mummy loves Miu Miu as much as us. Who can resist such a sweet little thing?
My dear fur pal, we will grow old together.

After working hard from June - Sept, Bao Bei & I were excited to head for our 2nd honeymoon to Australia on 10 Sep. This was a truly honeymoon trip, and no-no for shopping, as the shops there closes at 5pm daily (except Thur).
The 1st 2 days were rainy. It was supposed to be Spring but the winter decided to drag for another 2 days. Thankfully, I packed lotsa thick clothings as I did a check with Soo Teng the day before I flew. We were with a tour group which include just a family & us. The poor family did not prepare much jackets and fought the cold when we went to the farm. I also helped Bao Bei packed lotsa warmers & sweaters.
The 2nd day was to Sea World. It was until about noon that it started to rain again. Not surprised that we will finish Sea World early, we left w/o the group & headed for Surfer Paradise & the shopping malls. There wasn't much to see or buy, in fact, I bought NOT A SINGLE PIECE of clothe. The fashion there were a little backward & the surfer's brand wasn't as attractively priced as we anticipated. 7pm, we headed for a chinese restuarant just downstair the hotel for dinner.
We wanted to walked around after dinner but all shops were closed due to the poor weather. Even the bazaar which was along Surfer Paradise Beach was not opened. The wind was too cold for us, we hit the nearby liquor shop & grabbed a bottle each. It really works to warm us up. There wasn't anything else to do at 7:30pm, so we went back & rested for the day.
3rd day, the most exciting day. We went Movie World. We reached there even before the ride stations were opened at 10am. We spent the whole day in Movie World, seeing our heroes & animated characters walking around. We were like little kids once again. I love that feeling. Bao Bei took me for a roller coaster ride w/o knowing it was one. He was shocked! So do I...!!! The ride was thrilling & fun. Scooby scooby Doo~~~. Hahaha. We saw Batman; our hero, Robin, The Flash, Tweety Bird & many many more. Took lotsa pictures & bought lotsa soveniors.
4th day, we took a train to Brisbane to look for Teng. Saw the Bris River. The city was much warmer than GC.
5th day, went Factory Outlet but nothing caught my eyes. Only bought a pair of sunglasses. After that, it was time to go home.

Enjoyed ourselves very much. Was a good breaker for us. Yay! Bintan in Oct. Counting down.

I miss the good old days

When I was growing up, I still remember the show call "The Land Before Time". It was one of the most touching cartoon I ever watched. The song was so meaningful

This song was introduced in my Sec School as one of our bonding song.

If We Hold On Together

Don't lose your way
With each passing day
You've come so far
Don't throw it away
Live believing
Dreams are for weaving
Wonders are waiting to start
Live your story
Faith, hope, and glory
Hold to the truth in your heart

If we hold on together
I know our dreams will never die
Dreams see us through to forever
Where clouds roll by
For you and I

Souls in the wind
Must learn how to bend
Seek out a star
Hold on to the end
Valley, mountain
There is a fountain
Washes our tears all away
Words are swaying
Someone is praying
"Please let us come home to stay"

If we hold on together
I know our dreams will never die
Dreams see us through to forever
Where clouds roll by
For you and I

When we are out there
In the dark
We'll dream about the sun
In the dark we'll feel the light
Warm our hearts
Everyone

If we hold on together
I know our dreams will never die
Dreams see us through to forever
As high
As souls can fly
The clouds roll by
For you and I

Feel like watching the show again...
Old school...

I wanna grow old with my friends.

I remembered when I was in Primary School, we would go around writing autograph books for our friends. This is one of the poem which I have a deep impression of.

''Friendship like a glass,
So handle it with care,
Once you break it,
It's hard to repair.''

This is so true. We kinda distant. Maybe, like the saying goes, people come, people go. But how often did they remembered that the footsetps they left behind, can be a hurt or encouragement to you.

Yes, like what HL said. I wanna grow old with my friends.
Bye, "Hi-and-Bye" friends!

Recently, I had changed to a new seat. I used to be seated near the entrance where the ladies is less than 20steps away, and facing the Director's lift.
Now I am seated just outside the pantry. It's not bad after all, except, the noise level here is quite irritating at times. Now that the people are walking in & outta the pantry. But I've got a "loudspeaker" here. I hate to be seated with noisy people. I can hardly concentrate at work. I had to put on my headset everyday, and it's causing me headache cos of the headset is kinda pressing onto my ears. Besides that, there is this radio playing non-stop during office hour.
Now is lunchtime, and the "loudspeaker" is talking non-stop.

Arghhh! I want peace!

Miu Miu's New Look

2008-08-18T14:29:00.003+08:00

Brought Miu Miu for grooming on Saturday. She had a nice haircut. Made her look more demure now. Now she look more gal & people will not mistake her as a boy boy anymore. Hehehe...

Thanks to Mui Choo for introducing the groomer,Park to me. He was a nice Korean chap. Very caring for animals. I guess we will be sticking to this groomer.

Miu Miu & Bao Bei- the 2 dearest to me.

Had a good chat with Glor yesterday. Shared with her what had been happening to me these few months. It is always great that you have someone to listen to you.
Thanks Glor for your friendship!

Anyway, today is a simple day for me. No lunch appointment as I had pushed them all away to attend GIC Christian Fellowship. I had been missing it for almost a month. I miss the fellowship there. People from different churches coming together, fellowshipping, worshipping God, praying for one another & sharing of words. It is always good to have CF as your week will be refreshed once again. We are gonna have a retreat end of this month, this is so exciting. The presence of God in GIC Cf is getting stronger, sometimes I will encourage the fellow Bro & Sis to sing in tongues and pray in the Spirit when I lead worship that day. In my dept, I have a few fellow Bro & Sis who constantly pray for each other, we spend time together in prayer & edifying one another when we faced challenges.

Will be going CG tonight. They had celebrated for me last week. So I guess, there is no celebration tonight. In fact, Bao Bei wanted to bring me out tonight for dinner. I thought it will be good if we attend CG tonight & go out tmr instead. I used to value my Birthday very much. And celebration on my actual day is a must. However, this year, I do not feel excited or thrilled about it. In fact, I even forgotten that it was my birthday this morning. Hahaha... Maybe I'm ageing? And the clock is ticking and I do not wanna acknowledge it? Hahaha! Or maybe I'm too tired? Or maybe I'm more excited for my holiday to Aus in Sep? Or rather the thoughts of what had been happening last few months had weighed me down unknowingly?

Yes, CG gave me a PINK bible. And I love it very much. Cos it's PINK & it's NLT version which I wanted to get as my previous bible cover was torn & seriously "injured". Very unglam, u know. Mich & Alvin gave me an Agnes B chain which I already had,but I lost the "Key" to the lock pendant. I'm happie that I have a replacement! Bao Bei gave me sooo much things I really can't remember all. He gave me my favourite Cham Bracelet from Agnes B and he paid for half for Miu Miu. What else? Ah.... too many...I cannot remember!..Opps... I'm really terrible. But anywayz, my hubby treat me very nice,always buying stuff for me. So u can't blame me for forgetting what he buys for me. Cos it's countless!

Well, well, well... Tomorrow will be the celebration. Hope I will feel happier. It's a PiNkY Day! Pink Bible, Pink noteBook,Pink Pen!

Over The Rainbow

Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high
There's a land that I heard of
Once in a lullaby

Somewhere over the rainbow
Skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream
Really do come true

Some day I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where troubles melt like lemondrops
Away above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me

Somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why then, oh why can't I?
Some day I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where troubles melt like lemondrops
Away above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me

Somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why then, oh why can't I?

If happy little bluebirds fly
Beyond the rainbow
Why, oh why can't I?

It had been raining lately. Seems like the sky is as grey as my mood.
But there is always a ray of rainbow after the rain. Altou, I searched outta of the window today & see no rainbow. But I know and I know, He is near.

Genesis 9:16
"The rainbow shall be in the cloud, and I will look on it to remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is on the earth.”

One day a man went to the Circus. He saw many animals; some very powerful. He noticed that all of the very powerful animals were kept caged up. All except for the Elephant.

The Elephant looked to be probably the strongest of all. But, the only thing used to restrain him was a little bracelet and chain around one leg fastened to the ground with a peg!
The man wondered why the Elephant didn't try to break free from this restraint. He noticed a man who was taking care of the animals and asked him this question. "Why doesn’t this powerful Elephant try to break free from this little chain"?
The animal keeper just laughed and said: "Many years ago when the Elephant was small and not as strong as he is now, he did try over and over to break free. But he just couldn't do it.
Finally, he just gave up and has never tried again to break free. He doesn't realize that with time he has grown bigger and stronger. He just thinks, "What's the use! I can't do it. I tried before and couldn't do it. I won't even try."

Sometimes we forget that circumstances change. Perhaps you set a goal for yourself some years back. Maybe it didn't work out. You might reason "I tried, it didn't work, I can't do it, I won't even try again." However, could it be that over the years your circumstances have changed?
Re-analyze. Perhaps you now are able to break free of restraints that at one time prevented you from reaching your goals.

There is a Jewish Saying, "God is closest to those with broken hearts."
My heart aches more & more. Perhaps I am like the elephant. I need to break through from the old mindset. I need God to help me outta this.

Last week, I cried countless times. Disappointment, betrayal, anger, all sorta emotions. I remembered I made an inner vow that I will not invest in another friendship in the same way ever.

The trip to Genting made me value friendship even more. We had a great time with Mich & Alvin. We shared the same room for 2 nights. Seen each other's living habits, sleeping postures (and snorings). It was really a new level to our friendships.
Just when I thought all joy were gone, I saw this little thing that brought me some happiness. It was Miu Miu. That cute little thing just made me smile again. On Monday, we decided to pay the deposit.

Yesterday, I cried even more. Mummy said no to Miu Miu. I was torn apart. It was not just about the puppy. It was the joy that was about to be taken away. I decided if Miu Miu can't stay, I will move out. I slept with tears soaking my pillow. The it was morning.

The journey to my office today seems so dreadful. What a lousy morning to start. Knowing I had to move out of my family. I on my desktop in office as usual, and received a peiece of good news. My Rec Club is allocating a certain sum on money for the Lifestyle Blogger in the company. That is a good news as I was asked to blog about makeup & beauty, fashions for my employer. It all started really well, until I find it a chore to hand in my 'homework' every week. Now I got more reason to blog!

I am surprised at the popularity of my office blog, as I have many reader IM-ing me about beauty & cosmetic queries. Some are even guys who are buying for their wife.
Just an hour ago, a fellow Lifestyle blogger emailed me. She just bought a bottle of mascara for me in Japan. How nice.

Altou' for the past 2weeks, my emotions had been going up & down like roller coaster. I still am glad that I am able to count my blessings.

I thank God for all the surprises He had given to me. He really made my day!

Time flies. In 1 year, I've changed CG for the 5th time. That's average of 1 CG per 2.43 months. My thought of going to W364 was because I could spend more time with Bao Bei. At times, he will be working & I will be attending CG on my own. This is never a problem when I know that my close friends are there.

My greatest joy & harvest is Princess Sukiyaki. No, she's not my baby... Don't think I dunnoe what you are thinking. I'm NOT PREGNANT! Princess Sukiyaki is my ex- CG members 6 years ago. We met again in W364. This time, our friendship harvest into sisterhood. She shared many things with me. She always encouages me when I am down. Thank you, Princess.

Last night, George preached about friendships. I am glad I am in his CG. There are somethings that are weighing me down. Being there, is a new beginning for me to step outta my fears & disappointments. I now begin to anticipate for the new friendships which I am about to cultivate in.

Next Friday, Bao Bei & I are going Genting with "Darling Boy & Gal"- Alvin & Mich. This is so exciting. The following week, we are gonna plan steamboat at George's place. We will be popping champagne & wines, I guess. I wanna have a new perspective now; like what HL said, I wanna have friends who will "grow old" with you.

Am flying to Brisbane & Gold Coast in late August. Need to wait for my colleague to come back from reservist. Else the team will be shorthanded. I hope the airfare will be cheaper then. Am planning to buy a camera tripod, so we can take picture in Gold Coast. KL is so nice, he offered to lend me. He said is a bit heavy, let me take a look 1st, I might wanna invest in one.

My birthday is coming in August, so here is my wishlist, hahaha..
- Camera tripod stand (Joby-Portable, easy for travel)
- eeePC/ Mini laptop (ASUS)
- New hp to replace my cracked Samsung phone
- A new home (I'm not asking you to buy, pls pray that we can get our OWN place soon)
- Agnes B Charm & braclet
- Chopard Happy Series Ring
- Tangs / BHG / Metro Vouchers (So i can get my monthly facial products there)
- Juicy Couture Charm Braclet
- Thomas Sabo "Dragon" Ring (This is for Bao Bei, hehe)
- Zara Vouchers
- Victoria Secret Lip Gloss
- Photo Albumssss ( I got 1000+ pictures to print out)
- Sponsor to pay for the printing of wedding photos
- Air tickets to Brisbane

So wishes are wishes. My wishes are like day dreaming... LOL

Grow old with you

I wanna make you smile whenever you're sad
Carry you around when your arthritis is bad
All I wanna do is grow old with you

I'll get your medicine when your tummy aches
Build you a fire if the furnace breaks
Oh it could be so nice, growing old with you

I'll miss you
I'll kiss you
Give you my coat when you are cold

I'll need you
I'll feed you
Even let ya hold the remote control

So let me do the dishes in our kitchen sink
Put you to bed if you've had too much to drink
I could be the man who grows old with you
I wanna grow old with you

GoodBye W364

We share the same calling.
I need you to lean on,
If I start falling.
With words of forgiveness,
That heals & restore me.
Brother & sisters,
Keeping the Faith.

And I will stand with you,
Always before you.
Knowing Jesus keeping us closer each day.
If we must be apart,
In my heart I will hold you.
Brothers & sisters,
Keeping the faith.

And I will stand with you,
Always before you.
Knowing Jesus keeping us closer each day.
If we must be apart,
In my heart I will hold you.
Brothers & sisters,
Keeping the faith.

Most 'fallen' ministers I've met with said they had no-one to talk to, no trusted friends who would understand their problem.
God says, 'It's not good that man be alone.'
Friends are to laugh with, cry with and do life together with.
Friends are forged in fire.
Shared experience is the basis of relationship.
Be there in their ups, their downs, and friendship forms.
Our destiny is locked into our friendships.

OK, I know this sounds crazy, but I'm really overjoy! Yes, I managed to see Sidney Mohede face to face at the artiste room today at JW. Oh my tian, I was speechless. And he was so friendly, agreeing to taking a picture with us. Aw...sweet...

Pastor Sidney is really a great man of God. His ministry is so impactful in Indonesia that even in the villages, the people are singing his songs. I remembered that one of my Indonesia friend even told me that he was official to sing at the Indonesia National Day. He's such a cool pastor! Oh yeah, good men are always taken. LOL... He's married & have 2 very beautiful kids.

Oh my tian, oh my tian!!! I'm super excited lah!... Next I hope to see Jay face-to-face. Wish he will come City Harvest soon... then I can bump into him at the artiste room & snap snap snap his pictures. Hahahaha!!!

I simply love serving in my ministry! Hehehehe..

Hi Hi,
Sorry, been MIA for too long... That's becos I was busy "recuriting" my royal members.

Here they are:

Princess Carcar, Princess SukiYaki & Prince Ah Kwang. New members, Princess Tink Dong & Prince Genesis have also joined the "membership". Pictures will be uploaded soon.

Other than the "recruitment drive", I have been really really hardworking @ work. Things have been settling down,finally. I have also been constantly attending Christian Fellowship for a while. Been great knowing more people & have them in prayer with me.

Well, as for my Princessy wedding. Not all things turned out to be as expected. The venue didn't have pink & green colour theme,hence I be using other colours. The progress of the wedding preparation have been on track. Had settled lotsa stuff' photographer, videographer, wedding stationery, helpers list, etc.

Counting down everyday to my honeymoon & long long break. Praise God. In all things, we have seen God's goodness & His blessings. We pray that all expenses will be covered for the wedding. Praying hard & fasting more, and of course, we have to relax at times ya?

Woo~ Another 6months time, Princess 3EgGs will be getting married to Prince GeNeSiS. Time flies; it had been 5years since we were together.

Wedding preparation had been on track and smooth, here are the progress of the preparation:

The Dress
I had taken my measurement a month ago. And saw the drawing of my wedding gown. It was really how I wanted it to be. Sandra, my designer did such a great job; the dress simply shine out my personality & still have a touch of elegant of a bride. I will be going for my 1st fitting on 17th Dec.

Flowers & Colour Theme

Was thinking of pink & green. The theme should be something like these But needa check if the flowers are easily available in June.
I had sent an email to Goodwood Park Florist. Hope that they will get back really soon.
In additional, I will needa check out if our venue have these colours available.

Wedding Ring Pillow

I like something like this. Sweet?
Had contact Wendy (the donut pin maker) to give me a quote.

Ang Pao Bao

Prefer the white one but I dun really like the flowers. Needa contact the shop to see if the price is still the same if I reqest for something like the spring or summer flowers. Let's see...

Rings
Pending for Ben's reply if we can get a reasonable quote. Waiting....

Songs
Only decided on March Out song. Need to look for March in songs still. What shall we have??? Jazz??? Chinese? Rock? Slow??? Any recommendation? Needa make a trip down to "That CD shop" for advice.

Done!

I woke up at 2:30pm on Saurday, showered,dress up, and off we went to Chinatown for a simple meal. After out brunch, we headed to the dessert stall beside Ah Bei's shop. (Will blog abt tat when I got mummy's camers to go there next time). A little bit of crapping & jokes, Ah Bei headed back to work and off we zoom off to Bugis Village for a little shopping trip.

I bought 2 tops for $20, a nice necklace for $12 (which i realli realli love), a cheapo white watch for $10. Am happy enough, tou I realli wish I can get the ear ring on the 2nd floor. Still considering...

We walked over to Actually @ Seah St. Nothing to buy cos everything is sooooo expensive. Bao Bei like this really cool jacket but cost $1200+++. Tian ah, so ex... And this really unique bag, think around $500. **Faint**

Along the way, we passed by a cafe - Food For Thought. Countryside look, with quite a nice audience of supporters. We decided to head back there for dinner since the shop looks really cosy.

Bao Bei ordered the weekly special - Pork Knuckles with red cabbage ($19.90)
My order - House Sandwiches Slow-Roasted Pulled Pork with half House Salad, Potato Chowder & homemade ice lemon tea ($14.90)
Review:
Waiting time: More than 30min (too long)
Food: So So, below average
Potato Chowder which was so watery. Cannot imagine is even call chowder
House Sandwiches Slow-Roasted Pulled Pork - the pork was sooo dry & hard, my gum can bleed from bitting
House salad- is the only thing that was nice
Ice lemon tea - Smooth & refreshing (thumb up)
Pork Knuckles - serving was little,meat was dry & hard, lose it oilness
Red cabbages - tasted like prickles (DUN think any man will like it)
Ambience:
Nice place to chill out, relac, rest ur feet

After dinner, we walked ard at Raffles City & Esplanade. Walking around aimlessly. I came out with a crazy idea of taking the river taxi to Clark Quay. $5/pax one way trip. Tou it costs more than taking a taxi, but it didn't dampen our spirit. It was a realxing & romantic ride. Sometimes we really have to do some bo liao thingd to spice up our lives. What if is cost $10. Still quite reasonable ya?

We walked ard at Clarke Quay, and walk for a cuppa tea at Central. There we headed home & ended our "Crazy Saturday". Yes, we did went to lotsa places within 1 day but we hardly have a day solely to ourseleves. I really treasure tat day...

Why dun u head off for a river taxi ride today? Enjoy the breeze & the quietness of just 2 of u... (away from the city)

How will u feel if someone in a friendship is always a taker? I've known this friend since 8-9 years ago in church. From the day when I stepped into Usher ministry, till now I've already been to a few other ministries and she no longer serving God. She said she loves God but she still chose to lead her own way of life.

Very often, when I see her, I can't held but sense a pinch of sympathy for her. With no true friends, no bf, no God, what is life to her now? When we were younger, we would be going to church no matter where the location is. Now, she said is too far, she can't wake up.. but isn't heaven futher than here? Didn't Jesus came down from the throne to earth for us. How far is far? Everytime when she meet me, she will tell me her load of problem. I will faithfully listen, sometimes I will tell her how I feel,but most of the time, I will reserve my personal opinion. I feel very tired each time I meet her, cos I need to always give her advice and always be there for her. However, when I'm down, she is no where in sight, and she is helpless to any of my situation. So is she truly my friend? Sometimes I feel I' more like a counselor to her. Though, I know she is very genuine in this friendship but I cannot say lot of things to her.

Maybe with different people, we have to set different standard. When we pushed too hard, people will repel and situation will worsen. I am tired in this friendship.

Have u seen the video on Youtube about this trishaw uncle got bullied by 3 UK men? These people should really repent & apologise personally to the uncle. Can you imagine there are 3 of them weighting at least 70-80kg each? And they expect a speedy ride? They mocked & laughed at him & posted it on youtube? A trishaw ride of 10SGD and they kept bargaining for 5SGD. In the end, they didn't even pay a single cent to him. What do u think if u step into McDonalds & told them they're too slow & do not pay a single cent? U will be taken away to the police...

You will reap what u sow, idiots! See what uncle said in respond to such a barbarian act & shame on them!

Don't expect much since is only SG$9.99/night.
Shuttle bus to town: SG$5/pax per trip (only 2 timing 2:30pm & 5:30pm, and not consistent)
Complusory breakfast: SG$15/pax (Nothing much is left to eat when we arrived at 9am)
Breakfast time is 6-10am
Facilities: Swimming pool (the rest are either too old or broken)
Service level: The staff are quite polite & helpful. But don't really understand English, could be rather frustrating talking to them.
Room: We were upgraded from basic room to honeymoon package as there was not enough rooms. Thumb up for the service. But the room faced a pathetic "beach". But spacious and enough privacy. The hot water heater will a bit faulty.
Shopping & Food: Nothing muchto shop except I only enjoyed my shopping in their supermarket. Clothes are too old fashion to buy. Food is so so & the server there does not understand basic English.
The only meal we enoyed was dinner at Harris Resort. But is way to "dok" Singaporean.

In Sept, I invited CarCar to my place for dinner cos mummy made steamboat for the family. It was the best steamboat ever; with a otuch of "mummy's favor". Nothing beats the feeling of home cooked food.

Crabs, prawns, fish, meat...hungry......

Why am I blogging this only now? Cos I wanna rekindle the lovely feeling my mum gave to me tat time. Recently, lotsa things happened between mu mum & I. SOmetimes I will ask myself why am I treated differently from my brother. No, I am not jealous but this is a fact. Even Chris can tell that I am treated differently.

Maybe cos I am stronger, maybe cos God knows I can handle these. I dunnoe but I just hope thing will change for the better.

In my old blog site, I had recommended Kah Soh as one of my favourite spot for fish soup bee hoon. Over the years, their standard & service had dropped drastically.

Last evening, Bao Bei & I had dinner there. We noticed that the crowd had subsided since the last time we came. We do know that their standard had dropped but we were too bored to think where to go for dinner. And it was a big regret for both of us.

Price of the bee hoon went up from $10 to $13 & worse enuff they added GST!!! What is this man, u increase ur price cos of GST then u add GST somemore. This is so unreasonable.

Few months ago, I realised that the friend whom I recommend to My Bridal Room wanted a wedding gown with similar design as mine. What made it worse was, her wedding was 6months before mine. Many of my friends may know that I am quite pasrticular about people trying to imitate my style or wat so ever. I hinted to my friend a few times that I will be upset if she's gonna use my design. After a few attempts, she still don't get it. And I hate to do this but had to tell her directly about how I felt. She later promised not to use the design.
However, a few weeks ago, I found out frome her friendster pic that she is still using the similar design. What was really angry was that we are gonna have the same group of guests for our wedding.
I wonder what it pays to be nice to people by recommending them the good deal. Is that how they gonna treat me?
And for introducing 2 couple who had already signed up for the package, the owner of the shop would not let me take a peep of their wedding pictures.
What the hack!

Had not been blogging since July. Had been working almost OT everyday, now things are better. So much things happened for these past 2 months. ShyShy & Su-Lyn had left GIC. Shyshy gave a 24hr notice & left so fast. We din even have a proper farewell with her. Now, I am alone in GIC.

It was not easy to cope at first. Thankfully I still have Karen & many more nice colleagues around me. I started attending Christian Fellowship on every Thursday with Qiushan. Got to know Shih-yang & Vincent better, The people there loves God very much. But more or less, there is still no clear direction for the fellowship.
In one of the meeting, most of us wish to see the group to be more involved in evangelism. They are still working on something. Lotsa plans are made, and I hope to see them implemented really soon.

Thing in CG are getting better as well. Members made efforts to go out together even when there is no CGM. Is something I longed to see in my CG always. A few of them are still on & off. We been praying for them. Exams are finally over for the poly students ; Ben & Cass. Now, I can see Cass more cheerful again. Clara is in KL doing mission work now. I am so proud of her, her iniative & desire to rise up.

As for me, things at CG kinda cool off a while. Probably, I was too busy with work, Leah wanted me to have a rest. But in ministry, I am given lotsa chance. I started doing makeup for Pastor Aileen and had been asked to do for BV & announcement. Thank God for the open doors. QS asked me what was my desire in makeup ministry, I remembered I ever wanna do for BV, but I know I am not as skilled as the MUA there. I am really very humbled by God.

Between makeup ministry & CG, is so hard to chose. I wish I can have the capacity to serve both. God, show me ur direction.

Here some pic i took in Phuket~

CarCar, as promised, these are the pictures of what my working desk is like. Colourful Bah?

Ok, SSC is essential in 3EgGs' life. And things on my desk gotta be PINK. From stationery, folders, calendar, wallpaper, to every little details ...

Working in Tanjong Pagar is exciting, good location, good foods too. Last week, Shyshy & I had Bento Lunch. Mummy's porridge & Shy's fried rice. So 温心。。。

Introducing to you again, "Japanese Cusine from Tanjong Pagar Market, #02-16. Only $3.50!!!Sp cheap & nice. The egg is so soft & sweet.

Recently, I am addicted to Macdonald's Shake Shake Fries. If you have not tried it, then you have missed it big time.

Working or doing OT on the 43rd floor is just so pampering. Great view. Nice nice... Can see as far as Sentosa.

Look at my new Shu Uemuramakeup box. Really nice ya?

It had been a rough patch of my spiritual life over the past 1 month (maybe?). I had been struggling really hard; and God is really good (all the time), His words are always on time & in the right season.

Emerge is never for the youth only... It is where the "not so young" are been strengthened & affirmed. Indeed, being in CHC for 9 years is never easy, I had been through all kinda leaderships; some good, some not so good. Indeed, my younger days in church under Sis Serene & Annie had helped me to know the importance of respecting & honoring my leaders; most of all, submitting to authority (even though, I might not agreed with them in certain things).

After backsliding for more than a year, I came into Dave's CG where I met Chris, Ben Foong, Lily Liang, Jason Teo, etc... Ben was the CGL then, it was great knowing them. They shared with me what true brother/sisterhood were. We ended W18 & went in Steven' s leadership. It was not easyI "slacked" for almost 2years. Only when I met Faith & the rest, I know it was time to move on. There, I met M&M, M&A, I&J,D&W,YJ, Jasper, George,Winnie, etc... Our CG was very united. But we lacked growth, we were too comfortable with where we were. Maybe adult CGs like that. We like to fellowship, eat, enjoy... but we lacked spiritual exercise. In no time,our CGL stepped down & we were "distributed" to different CGs.

Faith & I met XL & went to her CG. In less than 3 months, I was very attached to XL's character. She's very "S"... and she made the CG very close. I know Ha, YY, "quick quick",Glor there... Time flies, XL had to fly to PNG & Fyfy took over. We had a transition period where members were transfering in & out. Our CG "combned" with Leah's for almost 4months. There, I was transferred to Leah's leadership & Faith went with Fyfy.

Why am I saying all these? Hahaha... I dunnoe... I just hope to mark the day where Leah & I spoke over the phone last Fri. I was sharing with her how tired I was with all the toiling. I know I cannot stop... I think God might it clear to me tonight. And I know everything I heard is a clear indication of Him knowing my "cliff hanging experience". I thank God for Ben Foong; he had always been a great bro to me. Though he is no longer my CGL now, he always encourages me & pray for me.

Today during service, he smsed me:

"Sand, you here in service today?"

"I hoped you are blessed by Ps Abraham prayer just now. God increase, we decease. Holy Spirit lead the way for us"

"keep on keeping on,march on with Jesus as our Lord. His grace will see us through."

XY sms-ed me after service today.

"Hey Sandy, hmm I think the coing back 4 service is super worth manx. Worth every single bit of effort. N i think your effort put in the G will be of great value 2 our Lord de. Jia You woh! I support u :)"

I really thank God for these people around me. They uplift & encourage me... True disciples of God indeed...

"By this shall all men, know you're my disciples, if you have love one for another..."

A short & sweet dinner with Bao Bei after work today @ Han's; opposite my office. Hmm... I used to g to the one at Great Eastern Building but their standard had dropped. This branch taste better than the one I tired at Marina...

I ordered a set of Turky Fillet served with Cranberry Jam & Thousand Island sauce. It's the best combination of sauces I tried so far.

Foods at Tanjong Pagar are really nice... even Han's (:

Shy Shy & I made a deal to dress in PINK to work today. Hehehe... this is to 'spice' up our daily routine work in office. (Tou may sound kinda bo liao) Surprisingly, we both wore the same tone of PINK & as bottom... Kekekeke... Oh yeah, we even had PINK on our heels... So coincidentially...

Karen spotted out similarity early in the morning, kekeke... It was fun & I decided to snap some photos of us in office. Well... I can only post this much cos I promised Carcar to post pics of my workstation together. So stay tuned....

MOF, No...we're not talking about Ministry of Finance. MOF is a Jap restaurant in Marina Square

But seriously, the food is not excellent.... maybe barely satisfactory according to the 3EgGs' standard...

Unagi Bento ~ Hate them mixing Jap rice with Thai rice...
(Really voice down to individual,cos I feel it's important to use 100% pearl rice)

Seafood Cold Ramen~ Cold but salty. Don't taste "Oceanish" enough...

Fried Chicken - 3Pcs for $3.80
(not inclusive of 5% GST & 10% Service Charge)

Bao Bei bought me my favourite UFO peaches yesterday. They're relativey costly & not easy to spot those sweet ones. The one I had were really sweet & yummy... Simply love it!

If you have never heard or seen it... Here you go....

UFO Peach/Donut Peach
Photo from Corbis.com

With fuzzy outer skin enveloping sweet, juicy, velvety flesh, this is not your average donut and not your average peach.

About It

Flat peaches originated in China, and were first grown in the U.S. in the 1800's. Somehow it fell out of favor. Perhaps that was due to its white flesh.Earlier American consumers preferred yellow fleshed varieties, so fruit breeders routinely discarded those with pale flesh.

Originally the flat varieties had no special names. They were just called Chinese flat peaches or Chinese saucer peach. They were also known as peento peaches. In Australia they're named saucer peaches. These names aren't catchy enough, so the marketing gurus apparently came up with the name "donut peach." And the marketing campaign was indeed a success. They're grown commercially in Central California and Washington.

Last Tuesday nite, I met up a friend @ Holland V. She was feeling sad that day. After eating at Gelare , we headed for coffee @ a cafe nearby. It was great, cos we were laughing at the jokes & happening @ my new workplace.

Work @ GIC is great. On my first day, everything there is so systematic & well-arranged. The group of us, around 6 people, went to have our pics taken for our staff pass & collected our access passes. After that, we proceed to the GIC inheritance tour guided by a staff. Went aroudn to see & understand the history of Singapore's currency. Surprisingly, it was quite an enriching tour. Looking at how our currency strengthened over the years, the birth of our own currency, the initial talk on a common currency with our neighbouring country... Yeah, I learned a lot from there.

Next we went through this briefing conducted by the FMD & APD. Finally @ 11:30am, we could finally go to our respective departments. After a brief intro around the department, I can hardly remember any of their name, except my bosses or course.(At least remember your bosses' name if your really can't remember all of them) And guess what???!!! My colleague, FM is my secondary school junior. LOL... hehe.... what a small world. One thing is QS is working at HR, SL is working at TD, then FM my colleague... Tian ah... So many friends in GIC....

By the time I went around shaking hands, it was time for lunch. My "siao laobang"-CF bought us to eat Thai food @ Temasek Tower. Quite nice... 1st time eat with them, so don't expect me to take out my camera & start snapping pics k...

After lunch, went back, then CF went through the overview & structure of our team. Wow... he's like lecturer, very good. Totally amazed, cos he made me understand so well.... though I know nuts about the jobscope. Hmm... his teaching is so good that I went through it w/o yawning and next thing I know it was 6; time to go home...

Today is my second week of work. Yeah, I am enjoying it more & more. Though something I still don't fully understand but I don't detest my job. I think one thing that keep me going at least the food there is nicer & more choices... Hahaha...

During my last week in CAAS & my break for like 6 days, I had so much food that I had lost track of them. Here are some of the posts which I had missed out. Some of them I had not taen any pics as I was too hungry, or too lazy.

Anywayz, I am starting my new job @ GIC tomorrow. Yay!! Amoy Street, here I come... I guess there will be plenty for me to blog about when time to come.

Oh well... Did peducure today @ Bugis. Simply love it... cos the design is STRAWBERRY!!! Paid only $2 forhe design ($1/toe) It's really so cute & sweet, it will surely make my day @ GIC even better.

Day 1: Woke up @ 8am to jog. Went home shower, start packing my room. Did laundry as mummy is in HK... sad.... I miss her... cos I won't needa do housework if she's around...LOL

Lunch Time

Day 2: Carmen took a cab & picked me up at 1:15pm. Rain rain... Just the right time to eat Herbal Chicken Soup & Mee Sua. Mmmmm.... the soup tasted like Mummy's chicken soup. The Mee Sua is nicely cooked; not too soft or hard. Yes, it's chicken thigh... The meat is smooth and not dry.

Tea Time

After our lunch, we walked around at Army Market. Nothing much to shop, just the usual stuff. Bought 2 pairs of sleeping shorts for Bao Bei & 2 mini hairclips for Lind.

After her meeting in town, Linda came & fetched us to her office. We went to the Coffe Club at Siglap. That's the 1st time I go there. Hmm... very nice environment. So next time when I become Tai Tai can consider staying there. Kekekeke

Being on break is so much fun..Yay!!!

Dinner Time

April & Bao Bei came & join us for dinner @ Sakae Sushi. The Tempura ice cream sux! Don't ever order it. It's such a cheat....

Alrite, today's my Day 3 of break. Nothing much to do... Just blogging at home & doing some laundry later. Hopefully can find some events later on....
