feeling so much better after a night's sleep. thanks to those who showed their concern. i'm ok. =D
finally got my XD card reader working in office. here's some picture updates i took over the past week.

we made a trip to changi beach club last thursday. nice place....but too bad i forgot to take a picture of the seaside where our rom will take place cause i was too engross with the events planner's description of the whole ceremony. hehe...

ROM venue - changi beach club

after the trip there, we're down to telok ayer street for the mass wedding thingy.

mum and dad before the re-vow ceremony (pic kinda blur...wasted)

my ah yi and uncle ng before solemnization...so cute right? hahaha

due to the big group of couples on stage and camermen everywhere, the whole stage looks super super messy. even when my ah yi was doing her solemnization, people are still walking around.

ah yi having her solemnization with my granny as witness

group picture of the 2 couples...traditional~

so ya, that's about it for the whole ceremony. it was just the vow taking part and buffet after that. simple~

on friday, went sim's place to see his new 'baby'...little chelsea the golden retriever. cute cute~ but forgot to bring my camera along. haizz.....she's only 1+mth old and is as big as my doggie, Dunno only. but she's definitely tougher and more chubby than mine cos my doggie is just soooo skinny. i can practically pick him up with his bones larz....anyway, back to chelsea....cute but she BITES!!! aiyohz.....teething dogs are so hard to handle sia. carry her awhile only, she wants to bite. but i still like. hehe....golden retriever.....my dream doggie...went to see her again on saturday after dinner...hahaha...i think the next time i see her, she'll be too big for me to carry le.... =(

as you can see below, hehe....i went for DIM SUM DOLLIES!!!! NICEEEE.......long time since i watched a play and it is held at esplanade somemore. first time stepping into the theatre hall...hahaha...classy...some people even dress in cocktail dresses to attend and that makes me feel that i'm under dress. hahaha....

the dim sum dollies newspapers...cute~

the nice classy theatre hall in one of singapore's biggest durian...haha

me and dear before the show

suping, yanjie and josephine....

the whole play lasted 2 hours. tired~ had a long day. morning, went with dennis to pick leong and yiling up to go airport. *envy* hahaha....say want to go holiday last week, then this week, they really went. efficient sia....with them going holiday, makes me look forward to my tioman trip next month. hahaha.....can time just fast forward alittle??? hehe...but i can't get too tan this time. else, i don't think i'll be able to get rid of those bikini lines in time. =(

oh ya, the bridal package i mention i signed is from French Bridal ....just at $2988....paid a deposit for it on sunday. within a week, we actually max out 1 of dear's credit card. oops! hahaha....

feeling super emotional now...i feel that my tears would just roll down my cheeks anytime.
just had a small arguement with my parents awhile ago. i don't understand...i just don't understand....should i be happy? sad? hurt? or...? how i should be feeling????

was flipping through style weddings magazine and told my parents that we have signed up for those bridal shoot package for a pretty good deal yesteray. after explaining the details, my mum still nod with agreement, but i don't know why suddenly after an hour or so, she started grumbling that i shouldn't sign the package, saying i've not been doing housework lar, not spending time at home blah blah blah....dah~ what's got signing the package got to do with doing housework? what's it got to do with spending time at home too???? don't get it larz!!! it's off topic~ and best, they got to add that i'm not mature enough, don't really know what we're doing. what larz!!! what they trying to say?!! meaning i'm not ready for marriage? who was the one who says book earlier dates for rom better??? CONTRADICTING!!! immediately, i felt my blood boiling from beneath and just kept quiet and let them finish what they have to say. they just continued, my mum spoke, then my dad continues, and then mum adds on again, and so on....non-stop larz...then finally, i think they came to the main point that they've been wanting to tell me. they're afraid that i'll be ill-treated. great! i'm still boiling then to even think about their worries. come to think of it now after cooling off, i seriously don't know how i should be feeling...happy that they're concern about my future? sad/hurt over what they've said about me? or angry? haizz....i think i shan't think about it further, else, the more i think of it, i'll tear. although i do feel hurt over what's said, but i do feel happy that they're worried about me. afterall, i'm their only daughter and they've been very very protective over me since i was a kid.

yipee~ i've settled on the location!!! it's going to be at changi beach club. hehe...paid the deposit yesterday. step 1 done and i can slowly proceed with the rest of the steps. lalalala....

yesterday, attended my parent's re-vow in hokkien huay guan in telok ayer street. didn't expect it to be so grand lor....still have road closure for it sia...hahaha....butz....it isn't as grand till the extend of having air-con and restaurant class service. so, i think i kind of over dress...hahaha....wore a tube dress and heels and guess what!!! everyone turned up casual lor...jeans and t-shirt....hahahaha....and the dinner was a buffet, not those course dinner. (-__-)" but overall it was quite nice (although i got myself a swollen ankle due to all those mosquito bites i got from there). =P

there were a total of 39 couples taking their vows on stage whereby 33 are re-vows and 6 are having their actual solemnization. had my parents among the 33 and my ah yi among the 6. hehe....seeing my parents kissing in front for the first time larz!!! hahahaha.....too bad the pictures i took was totally blur and plus my card reader is having some problem, i can't upload the pictures now. will upload when i can.... =D initially, i was worried that my parents will end up quarrelling yesterday during the ceremony, cos before i left home in the morning, mum was still grumbling that dad couldn't take full day leave to accompany her. hahaha.....but...phew....dad manage to pacify mum in time with a bouquet of roses. hahahaha.....see....older women do need someone to pacify them too....as if they're a teenager. hahahahaha....and everything turned out fine and well yesterday. happy for them...

and now, i'm feeling so damn uncomfortable with the lumps and lumps of mosquito bites on my legs as well as my arms!!! arghhh~ can't help scratching them and they're red and swollen now. gross~ hope it doesn't leave any scars....i don't want to be a bride in an all covered gown!!!!! =P

ok...manage to do print screen for the rings. haha....actually, i still feel that the designs have too many diamonds. 1 diamond will do larz....no need so many. hehe...will check out other stores. hopefully they're cheaper... =P

caught the movie P.S I Love You yesterday with dear and a.buff and janice. niceee~ i love it!!! haha....it's a sweet sentimental movie larz...maybe guys will find it boring. but i find that the guy in the movie is so sweet lor....die already still make sure his wife will not feel too sad over her sudden loss. i can't imagine how i can handle such a thing larz....i can feel her heavy heart when she carried her husband's urn home and everywhere she went larz....haizz....sad story~ but sweet...hehe

something just pop up in my mind....gals, which is more important? actual wedding day or solemnization? which you gals would prefer to spend more on? hmmm.....spoken to mummy about it, she told me solemnization. for me, same. what you gals think leyz? oh yah, something to share. saw this cute website from a wedding magazine http://www.stefine.com . so sweet~ hehe....but expensive too~ hahaha....

hi peepz!!! so sorry...i've been busy surfing the net for my rom venue the past few days so never update. feeling the stress now that there's only 11 weekends for me to go from place to place to settle stuffs and 1 weekend gone as i'll be at tioman.

sentosa has finally replied me. it's so damn expensive larz...i think their minimum is like $80 something ++ somemore...madness~

and there's cafe del mar...still at $68++/pax...and no PA system somemore. haizz....but they have just the buffet at minimum of $20++/pax which i thought it's quite ok. BUT!!! no drinks larz...pengz~ drinks need to add another $15++ to $20++ per pax. and that's not including any decor or PA system...gosh....

now, i've got like almost 70 pax in my list i guess but i predict maybe 60 will turn up considering the fact that it's a friday evening and my cousins having late classes and so on. so we've got to re-calculate our budget. (-__-)" stress~ mum saw me calculating yesterday night and she came to talk to me. she shared her experience with me and i felt so much better after all her assurance that things will turn out fine. thanks mum~

so ya, we went scouting on saturday. went down to changi golf club over the weekend to take a look at the place. looking at the venue, it's an immediate NO sia...so obiang to me larz....then we chance upon this sheltered area by the sea. wow...

we totally nod at the site of the view. niceee.....but then, there wouldn't be electricity for a PA system and it's not a big place to hold a buffet reception for 60 pax. haizz....too bad....it's out of our list. so sad~

besides all these, i did sent many other enquiries out till i've lost count. hahaha... all the quotations are like almost $70++/pax. so expensive. either that, they charge rental for certain locations in their hotel.

finally, found something by the beach and can accomodate 60 pax and have a sunset rom. changi beach club. i was told that they can put a long red carpet on the sand for my dad to walk me in for the ceremony, 30 chairs for my guests and hold it by the beach side. wow~ sounds romantic and nice right...? hahaha.....BUT again!!! when they sent me the pics, it was like total disappointment. haizz....i seriously think they need a good photographer for their advertising pictures larz....so buang lor the pics. anyway, i think i'll make a trip down to see everything for myself instead cos it's the only place that can give me a reasonable quote. hopefully i can confirm my venue by end of this week and i can proceed to the next step.

i think the next step is another big headache. hahaha....but i'm starting to feel the fun of it too. hehe....bridal gowns/suits, photographer, mua, and the other small little other stuffs. if rental of gowns/suits are too expensive, i think i'll rather go buy one instead. hehe....exciting~

was browsing through citigems site and saw 3 rings. which you people think is nicer?

scared~happy~stress~mixed feelings...

was thinking lots these days about how many guests should i have for rom. i was told to book venue first before proceeding to look for solemnizer and filing for the notice. but....without the estimated number of guests, i really don't know how to proceed to work out the budget for the whole thing and which venue to choose from. arghh~ stress...mum told me not to make the rom too lavish but told me my aunties and uncles are to be invited. *faintz* i wanted maybe 30 guests nia larz...why make it so big. if uncles and aunties invited, aren't it going to look like the actual wedding itself? haizz....i really don't know. so i'm still stuck. arghh~ i wish for a seaside rom ceremony. got a few suggestions from friends and google search itself.

haizz...i think cafe del mar is way out cos it's freaking expensive. then i checked sentosa itself for other locations, and nobody got back to me. haizz...next, saw siloso beach resort. shall check that out later. if they allow it to be held in the suite or something, that'll be cool~ hehe....or maybe villa? haha....*dreams* anyway, waiting for all these peepz to reply my enquiries.

Love Life in 2008:
the RAT, this year the luck with the opposite sex tends to be blend. One should appreciate others' character rather than to be skeptical and unappreciative.Married couples may have frequent arguments as they have very different opinions in handling issues and affects relationship adversely.

Career Luck in 2008:
PIG people will feel lost and lonely, it is advisable to be focused and figure out their career aim and take action immediately.

They should also pray to the God of Wealth, so as to amass unexpected income.

PIG people might suffer poor health this year. They should try to engage in more outdoor exercises and eat cleaner food. They should wear a BLACK OBSIDIAN HULU AMULET to prevent this disaster in the New Year. PIG people should try their best to avoid going to any inauspicious occasions like funerals this year. This year, PIG people should try to relax and not be too tense up in everything they do. Failure to do so may result in outbreak in emotions which will adversely affect their health.

i had my cny reunion dinner at my granny's place (mum's side) except that this year without my brother, else, everyone was present. poor bro had to do duty on eve and chu1 itself. anyway, eve was my auntie's birthday as well as my chinese birthday. hahaha....so i got my 3rd cake this year. lalala~

little cheryl stealing the limelight by wanting to stand in front of the cake

after having my share of cutting the cake, i left to meet up with dear's friends "Chun Dao He Pan" at the promenade in front of padang. at first, our intention was to meet up to catch the fireworks at 9.30pm, but we had to miss that cos everyone is still having their reunion dinner larz. in the end, we just took a stroll around and snapped some random pics.

dear n his long lost pri sch friend, dennis

those born in the yr of the pig, read this

guess what, after the stroll, we went back marina square to wait for our movie. and while waiting, we heard FIREWORKS larz!!! *pengz~ it's was the countdown fireworks and our view was totally blocked off. haizz...wasted...and that was when we realise it was 12 midnight le....

(-__-)" no countdown for us~

so, after that was movie time. caught 長江七號 (CJ7). not that bad a show i can say. funny but the storyline is kinda expected.

what i really enjoyed was the CJ7 alien larz...hahaha....so adorable~ i wonder if they'll be selling the doll in singapore. hahaha...

on top of that, the cast does have its plus points. hehe...the teacher damn chio larz....where to find such kind hearted and pretty teacher sia...everyday wear tight fitting cheongsum to school. *droolz~ hahaha

ok, enough said. maybe you guys may want to watch it for a good laugh.

back to my cny celebrations. chu1 was a full day of visitings. with just 4 hrs of sleep the night before, i was floating by noon. can't really recall much except for the fact that my dear dear pig for a whole 30hrs!!! i seriously thought something happened when i kept calling and no one picked up my phone call. in the end, i dropped by his place and saw him still pigging. haizz....

on chu2, no visitings to other relatives. yipee!!! only went to mum's side granny's place for lunch. steamboat~ yummy!!! long time no eat steamboat le..hahaha....ok, cos my chu xi and chu1 all no steamboat so i had craving for it when i walk pass every house hold and smell that soupy smell so granny made the point to fulfill my wish. hehe...thanks ah ma!!!

何润东-真心话

几乎每天梦到散着步和你聊

有一种幸福和美好

我感觉得到

却捕捉不到

有时候让情绪很糟

感动明明塞满胸口

却说不明白

我爱得多么澎湃

只愿你能看得出来

喜欢你想爱你想说真心话

我只有深情

但请你收下

我只有痴狂

却不懂得方法

把我心里想的怀里有的清楚让你看吧

喜欢你想爱你想说真心话

路也许还长

却一点也不假

会永远体贴永远守约你肯让我爱你吗

想看着你闹陪着你笑让我爱你吧

yesterday was the happiest birthday or i rather say happiest day in my life! received presents and cakes this year which i haven't been having much of it since 21st and something more. hehehe...

i know it's kind of contradicting to my previous blog entry. i said i was very sian yesterday and now today, i'm blogging about how happy i am yesterday. hahaha...read on and you'll know why.

ok well, i got my first birthday cake this year in office on the 31st jan. i think it was meant to be a surprise. but, hahaha....raymond, you gave it all away when you asked me for lighter....hahahaha.....anyway, really thanks guys, i still did had a little surprise. hehe...

after work was off to home. meant to decor my wall that night, but my dear dear just didn't plan to help me at the first place larz....wasn't as sweet as i expected at that point of time. just kept giving me excuses to brush me off. hrmp! so mad with him that day. kept telling me he'll help me do the next morning.

so yesterday morning, he didn't help me again larz....so so so angry...kept telling him, since you didn't get me anything for my birthday, then help me out with my wall as a gift. and he still bo chap me sia....still can smile at me and go back sleep. fuming mad~

and he only woke up just in time for us to go down suntec for lunch with my parents. hrmp!

my anger only subsided gradually as we shop after lunch...hahahaa.....BUT! he just had to drop that bomb shell at 6pm to tell me he kena recall to camp. was not mad/angry this time, but really disappointed and sad. but then again, he looked more disappointed than me lar, so i'm pretty alright with it after awhile. hahaha

later in the night then i realised that it was all planned. felt so cheated but at the same time super duper happy. hahaha....never have such tears of joy before sia....

while having my pedicure done at yiling's shop, the first surprise was a cake the guys walked in with and i was soooo hoping that dear was by my side that time. was already holding back my tears larz....it was really a surprise...

then when yiling played the song zhen xin hua, the more i felt like crying larz....then again, i was in for another surprise. BIG BIG one....

dear sneaking behind my back without me knowing

AND THEN.....

hahaha....overjoyed! totally overjoyed!!!! never the least did i expect him to propose!!!! have long waited for this day...wahahha...till now i'm still wondering if i'm dreaming...haha

and of cause, not forgetting the presents they've given me!!! many many many many many thanks to dennis, yiling and leong, jos and sim, suping and yanjie....i loveeeee the presents!!!

so now you know why i say it's my happiest day ever bahz...hahaha....presents cum proposal...best birthday ever and my happiest day ever. *smiles*

firstly: earlier today, dear told me he's considering going for some XXX sailing for certain reasons. upon hearing that, my heart immediately sank lar....it's a couple of months thingy and we'll miss our anni together too. *sad* but the thought of the reason he has given me, i think i'll have to come to terms with his decision bahz....haizz...but still sad....

secondly: my dear has to kena recall TODAY!!! *sobz* we were shopping at bugis happily and planned to leave at 7pm when his hp rang at 6pm to rush him back to camp. argh....poor dear dear looked more upset than me when he bid goodbye before leaving for camp. :( because of that call, our plans has to be changed. arghh...
