morning to whoever is reading~

great morning cause tomorrow is public holiday!!! yeah~ means i can have enough sleep... =D have not been sleeping well...too much in my head...so i've decided to cast everything aside today so that my brain can rest...i need quality sleep and not long hours of sleep, wonder when was the last time i ever had quality sleep...hmmm......

was pretty down this morning cause of one stupid letter...got it last night when i open the letterbox...shitty shit...caused me to flip and turn on my bed last night....another letter from XXX travel agency for payment....it's like dec 07 issue and dragged till jan 08 then come contact me and just when i totally forgot that such thing had ever happened, they sent me another letter...fed up. called CASE awhile ago and the operator told me if it's him, he wouldn't make the payment....wahaha....great~ since he says that, i'm not going to pay a cent until i've gone down to CASE to see if anything could be done to get XXX to clear this outstanding amount...irritating batch of people...

gosh~ come to think of it, everything don't seems to be going smoothly for me sia...i seriously think i need to go pray pray le...problem after problem...that's why i'm so frustrated and my brain feels like it's going to explode anytime manz...so, as said, i'll cast all problems aside today and have a good rest tonight. =D tomorrow shall be a better day...

i'm back~ it's a great short break...totally put my worries, frustrations, unhappiness etc. aside...but now that i'm back, everything is back..haizz...i wish it was longer...thanks qi for that sms while i was on my way to genting, it did cheer me up... =) love you gal...

yes, thanks for the comments, joey and whoever it is...i'll definitely have to arrange a meet up with my gals to sought things out. =)

so yap, my trip, driving up to genting wasn't really fun at all...it's tiring...but it's really an exciting experience...manage to head up to genting in about 4hours, not including the jam we got stuck in the tuas checkpoint...and back to sg, it was like 3.5hours back to JB...so you can practically imagine the heartbeat of mine...beating real fast...couldn't really sleep through out the drive... =P

by then we reach, had lunch, went back to nap and went eat again...it's like eat-sleep-eat kind of routine we had...and surprisingly, we spent only 2hours in casino this time...which is really great! had olive for dinner...cool~ had the best escargots i've ever tasted, lobster bisque and foie gras...yummy~ =D the finest fine dining ever had...total bill, at only RM660 for 4 pax. with all the main courses and sides we had ...it's considered cheap despite all these good food lor...per head about $80 SGD only which may cost us double or more if it's in singapore...the guys were thinking, spend more on food makes them lose less money in casino, which really surprised me..hahaha...good thinking guys~ =D other then food, had alittle shopping before we're back to sleep again...really tired...

next day, had dim sum at ah yat abalone restaurant before heading back to JB to pump petrol and car wash...surprisingly the price of the dim sum meal cost us only RM60 for 2 of us and we really had a table full of food and more lor...next time go genting, i think we'll just have our meals in restaurants than the food stores there which is very exp and not nice...for e.g., we had 1 bowl of fish head noodles and hotplate noodles, and it cost us RM31 le lor..btw, it's not including drinks...the fish head noodles cost us RM19!!!

so back in singapore now, i seriously think i need to lose weight after all the eating done there... =P

had a tiring day...not physically but mentally...

was really really angry with the events exec of our rom venue this noon...lots of problems which i really am tired of mentioning...if i can forego the deposit we've paid, i WOULD and change my rom venue...after signing the contract and paying the deposit, more and more minor little things start to crop up which is making me really vexed...this may have caused me to be really angry and worried, but i'm even more angry, worried, sad and hurt over something else...can say not angry but more like sad and totally hurt...it was all because of a misunderstanding...

galz...i didn't know what i've said have actually lead to such misunderstanding...my apologies.

it has been 11 years of friendship...i didn't know it could be so fragile..i thought any unhappiness or sadness among us will be resolve by speaking out directly and be sought on the spot rather than let it bottle up in our hearts and left everyone guessing. you girls have been my sisters for so long and i'll always speak my mind and share my problems and happiness with you...so i didn't know why this time round things isn't done likewise...maybe you had your own reasons...i do not know..but it's ok...

have some things to clarify...

1. on the day i shared my thoughts about after marriage life with one of you, i was equally afraid that we'll drift further apart...never meant to mean anything like after marriage, i'll be drawing a line between you girls...never cross my mind before...we'll still meet as like before...even before sam propose, my weekends are revolved around him and weekdays around my family and sometimes i do meet up with you girls although not most of the time. are you girls thinking that my life is revolving around him only? yes, i may not meet up with you girls as often but still i do meet you all once in awhile and we do msn or chat over the phone right? all along you all have known that sam is always in one of my top priority...you've known me for 11 years my dear...you all should have known...after marriage, it'll still be like before...why not? maybe the words i've used that day caused the misunderstanding, i'm really really sorry.........

2. on the day we met for steamboat, noon i've asked you girls along if you'll like to go with me for my rom dress fitting so that you girls can give me some comments. but you girls had earlier made appt with each other to go shopping...thou i was alittle upset, but it's ok cause i mention to you girls about it at the last minute...

the fitting ended really much earlier than expected cause of the limited gowns they have for rom. so yap, went shopping with sam for his rom clothes since there's still time before we'll proceed to the rom venue for our appt. and we met you girls in suntec by coincidence and somehow i felt an instance of awkwardness in our conversation. ok this aside, so we've actually decided to have the meeting with the events exec and at the same time stay for sunset to find out how dark the place is going to be for our rom day as we'll not know how's it going to be like with the limited lightings they have there, but we decided to forego it and head down for steamboat dinner with you girls knowing that sunday i'm not able to make it for the birthday outing you all have planned. it was actually pre-planned to watch sunset for this reason long before you girls asked me out...so it's not like what you girls think that i'm turning down dinner invitation because i want to watch sunset with sam...

after dinner, we didn't go along for your outing as we've things planned after that...i'm sorry~

3. i didn't use rom preparation as an excuse for not meeting you girls. i believe you girls are unhappy how come i still can go genting at this point of time. i need a break~ it's a short short trip...just 2D1N...this trip came at the right time when i need to cool myself down from the problems the events exec is giving me...it really made me real angry and frustrated...and i had none of you girls to talk to as i sensed something really wrong with our friendship already...the way i replied you when i meant i can't make it on sunday may sound abit hush, i'm sorry again...i was on the phone with a customer when i was replying your sms and before i knew, i sent the sms without completing it...that's why i called you to try explain further but you sounded unhappy so i decided not to say much and moreover, i was in a crowded bus so it was kinda hard to talk too...

i hope the above all explains all the minor simple little things i've said or done that have caused the misunderstanding...i hope you girls don't think that all these are excuses...i sincerely didn't mean to say anything hurtful or cause any sadness...

last wednesday, a few of us met up for shopping....when i met you girls, immediately i felt awkward...you girls no longer give me the feeling that i'm part of your friends anymore...i don't feel welcome at all at the beginning...honestly, i even secretly sms sam telling him that i feel out of place in the midst of our shopping...subsequently, i tried to blend in and luckily everything was normal after awhile...i enjoyed that small shopping trip of ours...

great! it's a thursday!!! weekend coming...

i'll be going genting this saturday for 2D1N...it's a super last minute decision by dear. only confirm it on tuesday cos his colleagues are going on friday and they've been trying to get him go with them but he rejected them. and only monday he told me that he'll like to bring me to genting for a SHORT HONEYMOON and his colleagues intend to give us 1 free room if we're going with them. (-__-)" like that also call honeymoon???!!! so ok lor...agreed to go...and sim and jos are coming along too...travelling by their car..hehe..free ride again!!! thanks arz sim..hahaha... =P olive restaurant here i come!!! lalalala....

suling gal...so sorry i can't join you galz for wild wild wet this sunday...guess you must be angry by the tone of your voice. i'll meet up with you galz soon...enjoy yourselves~ =)

rom preparation updates: ~

finally settled on the total pax coming for our rom. and guess wat??!!! total up there's approximately 90 pax...have to up the no. of pax for my buffet liao...and i'm trying to get them change some dishes so that it'll be more filling for our guests...

i just called the person-in-charge awhile ago...told her about the addons and tried negotiating with her to allow more car park lots in the club...she told me max. is 4!!! madness larz!!! 4 nia???!!! i've got 90 pax now lor and she still expect 4 cars to come only mehz? down there also no bus, how she expect my guests to go sia...she told me the cars can park outside the club along the 2 lane road side...siao lor...machiam the road damn long and can accommodate so many cars like that...imagine 10 cars line up along the road side, and it's up slope somemore, and my guests have to climb the slope. i can totally imagine how my relatives will be complaining there sia...happy occasion become upset and angry...arghh~ if they say only club members are allowed to hold events there, then of course understandable...but now, you're opening to public to hold events there larz, why that small no. of parking lots??? we went down on 2 fridays and the car park is not full de larz...alot of empty slots...haizz....complain now also no use, got to wait for her to get back to me...

so far, everything should be completed except for the shoes thingy.. =) hopefully when we're in genting, we can find time to go KL shopping and i can get them...

haizz....got our hdb application letter already...sianz....i couldn't believe it manz....although 90% of the new BTO hdbs are reserve for 1st timers, there's still like 2100 1st timer applicants vying for that 90% out of 499 units lor...*pengz* our queue no. is 01432 which means we can forget about it liao...haizz....got to wait for the next hdb project le...disappointed....can't be suping and yanjie's neighbour le... =(

updates on my rom preparation...just got my feather pens for signing...*smiles*

nice??? =)

wanted to get 1 blue and 1 pink but i was thinking since my theme colours for that day is pink and white/off-white, then blue feather pen will be kinda weird...so got 2 pinks instead...hopefully dear dear and dad doesn't mind pink...hehe... =P got to start practising my signature liao...hahaha....gotta sign nicely on the cert without having to tilt the cert 90 degrees which i normally need to do in order to sign properly....hehe...

so pens is settled, flowers and decorations settled by my beloved ah yi... =D i'm finally free from all these small minor stuffs!!! yeah~

however, got alittle small problem now. my aunt bought me a light blue dress for my rom...so now i'm kind of in a dilemma....should i wear the rented off-white dress from french bridal or should i wear the blue dress my aunt bought...have yet to see the blue dress thou...hmmmm....light blue is kind of off my theme colour too worz....haizz....nvm...shall decide after seeing the dress....

next, is my foot wear...the events planner for changi beach club told us that we can't go bare footed cos the ground is going to be HOT!!! WTH!!! all along she has been talking about going bare footed saying we cannot wear shoes blah blah blah....and now, sandals is to be worn... (-___-)" so dear went shopping with me the other day and he said this sandals is nice so i bought it...what do you gals think? issit weird to wear this with a plain white tube dress (assuming that i'm wearing with the rented dress)??? cos i'm thinking that it's kind of roughed so maybe add a couple of crystals on the crosses....how ley???? also, i'm thinking of buying a pair of silver heels so that i can wear for photo taking or walking around that day and for normal daily working wear....should i? hmmm....

and guess what...mum just called me asking me about the rom guestlist....(-_-)" she's thinking of adding people to the list for certain reasons...haizz....another headache...but i understand my mum's reason for doing so...don't worry mum...we can handle de....

that's about it for my rom preparations for now....it's only 19 days away!!! omg!!!

here's some pics of sim and jos's dog Chelsea....for your info, it's a golden retriever...so cute lor...they got her in feb this year when she's about 1 month old...super young...and very cute...hehe...see the pic....so small and adorable...her paws is just so nice to touch...hehe

and now, it's april...and she's 3 months old le...and see how big she has grown sia...

ta-da....!!! she's 3 months old chelsea...so big liao lor...

pretty soon she'll be jumping out of her little play pen sim and jos has pave out in the hall...now 3 months old still can carry her, i think another month, can't carry le sia....so big...and she bites cos she's still teething...scary...hahahaha....hopefully she'll stop biting and grow up to be an elegant goldy which i've always yearn to have...hehe...pretty~ =D

it's the 3rd day since Dunno left us...starting to get used to it. however, there are times when i'm home, i'll still have the urge to whistle for him or call his name to only realise that he's no longer around...haizz...i've stop crying but still tear at times whenever i thought of him...his departure is too sudden but life still goes on....

i've still got lots of things undone for my rom....manage to settle on our attire for that day but not our shoes....maybe mine but not his....and pens...havent gotten any. somemore, i havent settle the no. of people coming, the flow of the ceremony, the calling of relatives etc.....the nearer the day is, the more things i discover undone...i seriously think i've been slacking and scouting around too much instead of getting things done...haizz...pearl ah pearl...better stay forcus....too many things have been distracting me so far....

sob Sob SOB~~~~

Dunno Tan, my beloved doggie just passed away yesterday noon....he's put to sleep due to multiple illness which we totally didn't know as he's not fed any other food except for his normal dog food...doc says he may not recover even if we hospitalise him and will still go 4-5 days later... so dad says to follow docs suggestion which is to put him to sleep..dad says Dunno seems to be begging him to go ahead and his face very sad....i can imagine that sad face of my doggie who tears whenever he's sad....if i'm there to see him being put to sleep, i think i'll break down on the spot...even now when i'm typing this in office, i'm tearing....

on friday, which i normally go to my bf's place after work, i don't know why i suddenly have the urge to go back to see Dunno and feed him. i made my bf drive me home while he went jb to pump petrol and i went back feed him and swim....and that's the last time i saw him, fed him and hug him....he looked really sick that day and i told dad about it....then on sunday, dad called me to ask me for the vet's no. and told me Dunno is sick so need to see doc....i didn't think much about it and went back to sleep....that's when i dreamt that my parents are giving away Dunno's stuff cos he didn't make it back from the doc....and true enough, when i got home yesterday night, my mum cried and told me "Dunno is gone"....even dad's eyes was red....and my bro is still in camp so he didn't know Dunno is gone.....sobsobsob....i don't know how we're going to break this news to him....he bound to tear too....

last night, i dreamt that he has gone to a far better place whereby he has company and is happily running on a patch of green green field....food and shelter is provided and he's very happy....i hope this is true....

to my beloved dog:

Dunno, you're my companion when i'm sad and lonely...i talk to you and tell you my problems and sadness and you'll just sit beside me as though you understand and trying to comfort me....i will always remember the way you like to sneak into our room, the cheeky way you'll disturb us when we don't pay attention to you, your barking to wake us up at 6am every morning, the way you'll cuddle in my arms whenever i carry you, the curious look of yours, etc...the every little part of you and everything you normally do to make us laugh....

Remember the time when we first brought you home? you shivered in fear...you were so frighten by lightning and thunders...so mummy bought you a dog house for you to hide inside...you love it so much and will sleep in it everyday...since then, you're no longer afraid of thunder and lightning ya? i love to see the way you make yourself settle in in the house with the cloth and pillow we've given you. you lay your bed neatly and fall asleep cutely with the pillow supporting just your head...

your every action and behaviour reminds us so much of our beloved grandfather who passed away before you came into our lives and now that you're gone, the feeling of losing a loved one is back all over again...

you brought joy to our family the moment you step into our lives....i hope you're relieve from all pain and sadness at your new found home....you're greatly miss by us and will live in our hearts forever....love you Dunno....

oh oh!!! it's 1 month away only...starting to have butterflies in my stomach le...hahaha...1 more month of singlehood...and i've yet to settle on a couple of things:

- dear's clothes
- my dress
- shoes
- the pens for signing
- decor
- the flow of the ceremony

i'm thinking of changing the dress i chose the previous time i went cos i feel that it totally doesn't fit in the beach theme we're having....going down french bridal this friday again...actually dear was suggesting that for beach theme we can just dress very casually like wearing a white bikini top and flowing long skirt and for him, berms with maybe shirt...but we're just afraid of offending our relatives and the elders. so, i think this idea is out. also, we're suppose to be going bare footed for the ceremony as it'll be on the sandy beach so i'm thinking, how to make myself not look short beside dear larz....he so tall....then i don't wear heels, i'll be a dwarf!!! =( just hope that everything turns out fine...

oh ya, have settled on my sweets for my guests, all thanks to suling for helping me out....couldn't find the heart shape lollipops i wanted, so i just settled on heart shape mashmellows instead. hehe...i think i swept out the whole shelves of heart shape lollipops from the store... =P

another thing i'm looking for is anklets...cos we're going bare footed, so maybe i'll go get one of such anklets...hehe...i've not confirm if my dress is going to be short or long this time cos i'm changing my dress so if short, my leg is going to be very bare...what you galz think? should i get something for my ankle if i'm wearing short dress???? =D

so well, i've been busy searching websites these days for rom and actual day, so kinda long never update. plus, my camera XD card problem and my imac problem, lagi don't feel like blogging cos i don't have pictures of our gatherings to post.. =( i want to faster fix my imac so i can upload my pictures.....and i'm still waiting for my tioman pictures from dear's chief...haizz....i promise i'll upload the pics once i get them...hehe....hopefully can get it from him this thurs...cos going for dear's ship final dinner.... =)

then on this friday, taking half day to go french bridal and changi beach club again....got to settle some stuffs for the venue...had some hiccups...haizz....then saturday, going york hotel with dear's ship crews and their gf/wife for some wedding bash...i wanted to attend the glamour bash 08 on sunday de larz.....but dear says saturday going york hotel de le, so what for go another....haizz....if sunday go, can go see daniel ong and jamie teo's wedding setup in swissotel larz...they're having their wedding this sunday plus host the glamour bash as well....cool lor~ anyway, next sunday 20th apr got another wedding bash..hehe....but it's for marina mandarin, i think i'll convince him to go that with me...hehehehehe....

ok, i'm going out for my company's lunch soon. i'll update soon...bye~

hey hey peepz! so sorry...havent been blogging..hehe.. =P
just came back from my tioman trip on sunday evening...not a very very fun one though....haizz...

Day 1:
reached tioman around 2pm...hot hot sia....slack around, have lunch, unpack and setup our fishing gears to prepare for our night fishing....12hrs night fishing....quite a fruitful trip that night cos we caught a couple of big fishes ranging from stingrays, king fish to cat fish etc....but shag sia...haha...luckily no sea sick that night...phew~ compared to last year's night fishing, it wasn't as exciting cos there wasn't net for us to catch live sotongs..haizz...got light, no net....sianz...

Day 2:
only got back to our chalet at around 8-9am from our night fishing the previous night...tired~ washed up, had lunch (fishes we caught) then went jetty to check out other fishermen's collection of fishes...hehe...kpo abit abit... =P then came by this fishermen's boat who caught lotsa sotongs.... immediately, the guys decided to book another night fishing for that night...*pengz* but this time, 6hrs night fishing, 6pm-12am...but it lasted till 1+am instead....shag shag shag....again, caught slightly bigger fishes...nicee~ i even caught my first barracuda...cool~ hehe....the feel super shiok sia...hahahaha....and i even caught an eel larz...yuckx....fight half way, pass to dear to fight then he reel it up, everybody siam larz....the eel so big...we thought it was a snake lor....it was as long as the fishing rod and it's as thick as my arms....when it came up, we had to release it cos nobody dares catch it lor.....eeewwwww~ took some pictures of the fishes, waiting for dear's friend to send me the pics....after that catch, everybody gave up cos they said if there's such sea creatures below, there isn't going to be any other fishes le...so yahz, home sweet home at 1+am....this time, we bought fishing net, but not enough lightings in the boat to catch sotong, so wasn't a really exciting night...

Day 3:
after previous night fishing, only had time to catch a short sleep and we had to set out for our day fishing trip at 8am larz....*pengz* could you imagine, i'm still floating from my previous 2 trips larz.....everything around me is moving as though i'm still on the boat even when i'm on solid ground....so yahz, 3rd day is a day fishing and my dear bf made me wear long pants, jacket, cap with all the thick layer of sunblock i had applied for this day trip...haha...i'm not allowed to have a tan this time cos of my upcoming ROM....haizz....anyway, day fishing wasn't that hot luckily...cloudy day but no rain....so lucky me, no tan at all...but sea state super bad larz...almost had sea sick...by then i was back on solid ground, my brain is shaking badly and i need to go sleep asap...haha...

Day 4 (departure day):
got woken up in the morning by some tickling feel on my legs...woke up to realise it was a firefly!!! niceeeeee~ backside got light light de...it was crawling on the bed and had some greenish light on it...had a long rest that day and departed tioman for singapore by 11.30am...

we brought an ice box full of fishes back to singapore leaving quite a number of big fishes in tioman for the villagers....there's too many for us to bring back larz.....i think we caught close to 200 fishes lor....fruitful trip...i think the fishes in my fridge now can last us for a month or 2 sia...hahahaha.....but of coz not everyday eat fish larz...wait till i've gotten the pics from dear's friend then i'll upload....
