Had a really yummy lunch w my colleagues @ "The Cathy" yesterday. :) We now have rather regular meal get-togethers which always bring about much laughter and is something we look forward too! Granted, not everyone's keen to join us, but nonetheless the few of us regular meals also enjoy yourselves!!!
Actually planned to go Merchant Court for their lunch buffet but was told that their lunch hour ends @ 230. We then booked for the tea buffet but some of my colleagues feel that hi-tea buffet is not very worth it and that the variety may not be alot. Finally decided on "The Cathy" after browsing thru the Citibank catalogue and found that there's a 1-for1 offer!!!
The food was really nice; shark's fin with real shark's fin n w fish maw, super fresh fish in yummz sauce, nice big piece of pork chop, soft tasty tofu, mian xian w prawns & cooling dessert of white wood ear. We all felt the food was really good & filling too. But then we also ordered some timsum also lah. Only qualm I had about the place was that the service was not v good. Dunno if it is coz it was Sat or wat. The table was not ready when we reached & they didn't ask us what tea we wanted till we asked them. And the waitresses all seemed to be in a rush, like wana rush us away as it was time for their break. But my colleague said the last time she came, the service was not that bad... so guess u all can try... offer's till end of the month! :)

080808?
Q a few pp haf been asking if our wedding dinner will be held on 080808 following 070707. Answer is No coz it is the lunar 7th Month... thot 060708 wld be q cute also but that is during lunar 6month than there's the supersition of "半年新娘" I muz admit I have never heard of this till we went to the geomancer the other day. Apparantly it is believed that if you marry during the lunar 6th month, then the bride will only be married for half a year. Perhaps that's why there are seldom weddings in July bah...
In any case... just to update the kaypohs or rather the concerned pp out there... Dar & I r looking @ 2 dates... either end of June or end Aug. Personally I prefer the end Aug date coz it is near our bdays but Dar wld prefer it earlier if possible so we shall see. Been calling up the hotels and some of them have reverted w quotes whilst still pending some others. Gonna look through the list and then perhaps go down to take a look @ the set up n all.
Will hopefully be looking @ the BS during my leave laters this month. Hopefully my senior can help us get a good discount n hopefully we will see something we like. Gonna be a lg ardous process I thnk... but hopefully it will also be mighty fun coz aftall it is a once in a lifetime thngy!

Is that It???
Sleepy recently wrote in to a certain cab company in Singapore to complain about their taxi driver who chided sleepy for giving him $50 as cab fare. He even told me "小姐，帮帮我好吗？“in a sacarstic tone claiming that he had no change as he has just started his shift. He then asked me to pay by Nets without telling me that there is a 30C service charge!!! Although it is only 30C, I was irked and decided to write in as this was NOT the first time that I have been chided for giving $50 as cab fare. U got no change, I also no change mah!!!
So anyways, the company replied saying that they have "investigated the matter" and that the "said driver was given a stern warning" and how my complaint "would be filed in his service record and his performance monitored." The letter also stated that drivers are expected to keep sufficient change for commuters and if "should drivers find themselves short on small change, they are advised to drive to the nearest petrol kiosk or shop to break the note" and later "send the passenger back to the desire destination, AT NO EXTRA COST". I didn't know that!!! I always thot that they wld still let the meter run if we were to go somewhere to get change. Anyways I confirmed this with another cab driver the other day and he told me that indeed, they are not supposed to charge the customer if they need to break the note.
The thing is, whilst I can understand that the cabbie may not have enough change coz prolly the past 2-3 passengers all gave big notes, can't you ask me nicely if I have small change??? and if I have, I wld definitely give them small change. And if it is in their policy to go somewhere to break the note, why can't they just do that and explain nicely??? Afterall we are paying for this supposed service wor!!! I juz hope that I do not meet another cabbie like that, I will really scold him upset down. And the company didn't refund me my 30C!!! :P

NDP 07
Did everyone catch NDP this year? Thnk this is 1 of the most anticipated NDPs in recent years as it is the first time that it is held @ Marina Bay on the world's largest floating platform.
I rather enjoyed the parade; it's been q a while since I watched the parade. When I was much younger, it was something that I looked forward to, also because we stay near the stadium so we can see the fighter planes and the plane w the huge Singapore flag and not forgetting the fireworks. As the years went back, the parade didn't have as much awe as it did when I was younger and I stopped watching the parade, choosing to watch the fireworks outside. Caught the NDP @ Dar's place last & this year. Both times his mum cooked and invited friends n relatives over to catch the fireworks. Last year, the parade was still held @ stadium which resulted in the car parks being filled @ Dar's place and a jam once the parade ended. I remember his cousin uturned back to the house coz they were stuck trying to get out of the carpark for 1 hour!!! Gosh!!! Dar's rm actually face the stadium so if we use a binoculars... we can even see the pp @ the stadium... too bad only 4 1 year n now they r goin 2 tear dwn the stadium...
Back to this year's parade... didn't really catch the 2nd half of the parade but I really liked the display by the Navy. This being the first time the parade is so near the waters, this is also the first time they are able to put up a display. Dar esp liked the apaches (which then flew past his hse) n the chinook (is diz how u spell it?). He was telling me it is v diff for the Chinook to hover just slight above the water & thus he was rather impressed. The "underwater" performance by the primary school kids were also v cute!!! Esp the starfishes!!! heh :P And when it ended with the fireworks display and the songs, Dar n I sang alg juz for fun!!! All in all it was q a fun nite... until...
Laters in the nite, we went to watch The Bourne Ultimatum w Dar's fren and I had the misfortune to sit next to/infront of/behind a person w either body odour or HK feet!!! ARRRRRGH!!! Smelt it moments after I sat dwn and kept on catching a wisp here and there. So much so that I felt nauseous and almost threw up and I cldnt enjoy the show :( Kept looking @ the time to try 2 fig out when the show was goin 2 end and like 3/4 thru the show told Dar I wasn't feeling well. He was v nice n wanted 2 acc me 2 the washrm but I didn't really thnk there were stuff I cld puke out... juz dat I felt really uncomfy. @ the end of the show, i told Dar that I suspected that the gal next to me had HK feet coz i was looking ard and she took off her shoes! (4 a moment I thot it was myself coz I also took off my shoes but I almost always take off my shoes whilst watching movies n there was no smell!) Dar n his fren had a gd luff aft dat coz I looked so pathetic!!! Sighz... why cant these pp coat themselves w some strong cologne or perfume b4 going out???

Free Meal
Got a free meal ystd!!! Went w Dar & his frenz to eat "nice & cheap food" @ Restaurant I alg Chander Road in Serangoon yesterday. Apparantly his fren goes there pretty often & told Dar that the price is like $20 for 3 pax.
We got there later than them & by then they had ordered the food & we juz had 2 tuck in haha. The food was really q tasty but a tad 2 spicy for sleepy's liking. However the fish in the fish head curry we ordered didn't seem fresh. Me & the other guy didn't really sense anything but Dar & his fren said that the fish was v smelly. Hence we asked the waiter over & told him about it, but he attributed it to the spices put in. Dar's fren then requested for the boss to take a look. (who took such a lg time in coming gosh!!! by the time he came we had already finished our meal!) Though he promptly took the fish away to the kitchen, he came back a minute later telling us that "we should have told him earlier then he can charge us half price" as he claimed that we had already eaten half the fish but we DIDN'T!!! Dar only took a small piece for me n himself & the other guy also only took a small piece!!! Dar's fren then pointed to all our banana leaves n told him that we only took a little as it was evident that there were no fish bones on our banana leaves. She then asked him to cancel the order as they were all too full to eat.
As we were leaving the table, the boss apparantly said v loudly "FREE MEAL! FREE MEAL!!" n the guy who was holding the small piece of paper realised that "Free Meal" was written on the paper and asked the boss about it. (I was walking in front so I didn't hear him shout that but Dar was saying that it was v obvious that he said it loudly for the other cx to hear!) The boss then told the guy fren this, "Since U can't appreciate the meal then it is Free. N if u cant appreciate the meal then phish (signal hand to indicate we shd leave)". My goodness!!! I mean how do U expect us to eat the curry when the fish was B-A-D??? N the fren did tell him that the curry was gd, it was the fish that was BAD!!! Added to that, we tried to tell the lady @ the counter that we would pay for everything and she rudely brushed us off saying that the boss said NO!!! So we left lah!!! What bad service n attitude n arrogance!!! But whatever... we got a Free Meal haha!
& toking about arrogance, was @ this nice dessert store @ Temple Street ystd when I almost witnessed a fight. I was sooo engrossed in my novel that I didn't know what hap until I heard a lady shout "why did u hit his head? I'm goin to call the police!". Apparently this is what hap; Guy A was going back to his seat from the toilet when Guy B apparently hit him on the back/waist area, Guy A then retaliated by hitting the guy's head. & Guy A was still q yaya about it coz after he sat down for like 3-5 min, he again went to confront Guy B asking him why he hit him. He felt that it couldn't be accidental as he claimed it was a hard hit & if it was accidental, then Guy B should have apologised to him which Guy B didn't. When the staff of the shop tried to intervene, he even hit Guy B back on the back to show the staff where Guy B hit him!!! Gosh!!! I am surprsied that Guy B didn't blow up or something. U cld tell that everyone in the shop was q tense n there was this couple who left immediately.
What a day wasn't it??? But i ain't complaining about my free meal!!! Dar was telling the fren, "wah really v cheap hor... it's free!!! haha! :P

Forgetful Sleepy
Forgetful me forgot to bring my staff pass & sup card 2 work 2day; was packing my bag this morning n i distinctly thought I put them in the bag but I was wrong. Without the Sup card, I would have to use the temp card which is kinda inconvenient so I quickly msg Dar 2 ask him if he has already woken up. But when he replied me, he was already @ Punggol n so cant bring the card for me... DARN!!! He asked me to ask Daddy instead but didn't wana trouble Daddy lah...
Did tell my boss to take out the sup card for me in the am but she forgot & my tellers were calling me for overidding so bo bian called Daddy. n he was sooooooooooo nice!!! Although he wasn't going out, he offered to bring me the cards!!! I love my Daddy!!! He's the best!!! *muaks*

Superstition
As Dar is a rather superstitious fella, I will be missing out on a couple of wedding dinners come this Sept :( Seems as though end Sept/early Oct is a good time to get married, there's my colleague (who actually also asked me to be Jie Mei luckily I didn't agree), my ex PA colleague CL, the daughter of Daddy & Mummy's dancing fren & Mr Ea who was the one who brought me wakeboarding!!! His is 1 wedding I would really wana go to but he was really nice about it. Told him that he would HAVE to come for our wedding dinner next time though...
Yeah n coz Dar is superstitious... which is partly why we haven't decided on the date for the dinner as we wanted to consult the geomancer/fortune teller first... anyone has any lobangs???

Phuket
Let's see... wat did we do during out 4 days in Phuket...
We visited the famous Wat Chalong temple...
... watched the infamous Simon Cabaret show...
Drove past various beaches & then to Promethepe Cape intending to catch the sunset but it was raining :(
Drank Pina Colada from a coconut @ this quaint eating place situated ard Kata...
& we went elephant trekking & got bitten by lotsa mosquitoes!!! :P
The elephant was really smart; could totally understand the guide's instruction whether to turn left, turn rite or to lower its head for the guide to come off!!! Dar & I were both amused & impressed!!!
It was also q an adventurous trip as we rented a jeep & then a scooter to get around. Check out the jeep... only 1.3L... almost couldn't make it up the hills as we drove from place to place. 
Went around the markets q a bit & it was amazing @ how high the stall owners would quote u n wat we end up paying!!! I bought this top that the gal wanted to sell me @ 1200 bht but in the end I only paid 350 bht for it!!! But some of the stall owners who were originally from N were q pissed that we were always cutting the price and they made comments about us in their language once our backs were turned but we were not far enough for them not to be heard. As Dar commented, they can't really blame us for giving them such a low price coz they did ask us how much we were willing to pay & they were the ones who quoted such a high price intially mah.
But all in all, it was q a fun & relaxed trip... first together as a couple... & we got a rather big room as we told them we were on honeymoon hee hee! Got bathtub & shower place plus a small balcony inside the room :) *pleased*
Reflections on my Special Day - Part 2
Was @ Dar's cousin's hse last nite & saw the short video he took of us during our walk-in... was q surprised as I thot that he only took pics. We had a good luff @ ourselves but it also brought back many memories... has it been 1 week already??? So fast...
PS: might put up e video once i fig out how 2 link to youtube. if not will give u all the link to whereva i can upload the video :P

Reflections on my Special Day
It was a lovely day... starting a new chapter of my life with the someone I have chosen to spend the rest of my life with & witnessed by our family members and closest frenz... thank goodness it stopped raining by noon time & we could have the ceremony outside.
Dar had to go down early to help shift the "tent" to the position we wanted. His friend who was also the owner of the restaurant was really helpful; coming down early to help & also arranging for the electrician to come down to "stub" the electricity so that the tent could be shifted. The poor guys had to shift the tent in the rain & the florist also had to decorate the tent in the rain which had her lamenting that it was hard-earned money hee hee. It was really q pretty with the sunflower decos; brite & cheery :)
Me reached @ ard 11 with the makeup artist and she started dolling me up. In the meantime, Dar & his best fren Clifford arranged the chairs and the other necessary setup. By the time I was ready, (Dar got his hair styled as well and his hair was full of glitter as requested by me & Clifford urged the make-up artist to put more haha) it was already 130pm!!! Wanted to go out together with Clifford & the makeup artist for lunch but we still have yet to reherse so they went off wout us whilst we practise our walk-in. In the midst of which, Dad arrived w my china relatives but to my dismay, he didn't bring Granny along. Wanted to go back to fetch her but as she was feeling giddy, she decided to rest @ home.
Then Chris came & hiao me started taking pics whilst Dar did more touchups to the set up. Which is why we didn't really take many pics together coz by the time the ceremony was over... i was eager to rush off for the food :( can only blame my greediness... sigh...
By then, guests have started arriving & they were asked to sign these little cards that I printed out. I must say they were really q nice coz the paper I bought was a bit shiny *beams* However we still could not start as the management somehow misplaced the pins which are to be used to pin the skirting together. It was actually rather confusing coz we had the idea that someone was going out to get the pins but it just never came... in the end, they used staples or something & finally everyone could gather around the brite & cheery tentage :)
We were kinda expecting the emcee to say some stuff before introducing us but he juz immediately introduced us!!! So there was a bit of delay in playing our march-in song. I wonder how the mega stars do it, whilst I was walking in & looking @ everyone whipping out their cameras to take pics of us, I had to do my best to surpress my laughter & also I didn't know where to look!!! But I thnk we walked too fast as we reached our seats before the chorus started... oh well... i guess in time to come, no one will rem that :P
We got my ex GRL, Mr Gopala to be our solemnisor & he was q witty. Prior to that, Dar was checking w him how the set up should be like as we wanted to be photographed against the nice fountain/trees behind so there was a bit of chairs shifting. Following that was the signing of the document, exchanging of vows & rings, & TA-DA, we r pronounced man & wife. :))) Was q nervous actually as I didn't know when to say the "I Do" & "I Will" & also coz our rings were actually detachable, I was afraid that I would drop them but everythng went smoothly.
Next was the photo-taking session w family then friends. It seems as though Dar had more frenz... but oh well, expected since he had a couple of years ahead of me mah :PPP Then everyone proceeded indoors for the food & we mingled around, proposed a toast, mingled some more (though I didn't really get to tok 2 everyone... soweee...), before everyone baded farewell.
It was a rather tiring day but I can't deny that it was a very happy day for me. As it was a small ceremony, I couldn't invite everyone that I would have wanted to invite and am v touched that people like Dewdrops & Stella msged me their well-wishes... thanks galz!!! & having my really good frenz witness this special day; the gals who watched me grew up & r still a huge part of my life -- Dora & Siping, the gals whom I spent crazee days with under the LT doing anything but studying -- Shan & Qixia to my ex colleagues who are now such gd pals of mine -- Pearl, Da Xiong & Chris & not forgetting my "Ya Huan" MangoJo who kept on stressing me prior to the actual day & for asking the Mangogods to make it stop raining by noon; I couldn't ask for more.
So thanks once again folks... I'll be counting on everyone's help during the wedding banquet ya? :) & with all your blessings, I know Larry & I will live...
Happily Ever After...

1 More Day to Go...
*gasp* can't believe that tomorrow is really here!!! As of this time tomorrow, i would have taken a new step in my sleepy life and status wld haf changed... *ahem* :P
Went 2 pray mummy this am; been meaning to do it for q a while already but everytime when I am off, seems like there are just so many things to do and I forget *guilty* Was pondering whether to go today being so close to the ceremony tomorow but as it is also her birthday, Dar said to just go today. Always thought it was q kewl that my parent's birthdays are 3 days apart... ha... now Dar & I too!!! But just 1 day apart hee hee. & mine is b4 his; when I was younger & had more creative juices flowing, I used to make birthday cards for Mummy; when Daddy asked how come he doesnt have, my reply would always be that I am too tired to make another one after finishing the first one. So the "benefits" of having your birthday come earlier :P Really wish Mummy is ard to witness the start of this important chapter in my life... but wherever she is, I know she is giving us her blessings.
Afterwhich we went 2 get our certs which was really crowded!!! Read in e papers that there were 772 couples who registered but the staff who attended to us told us that there are 777 couples or more! Wow!!! Coincidentally we met Dar's friend who are also having their ceremony tomorrow... and guess what? Their ceremony is just kinda across the road from ours!!! (Their's is held @ Botanical Gardens whilst ours is @ Dempsey). And whilst we were there, we saw some "strange" couples that might be getting married for the sake of getting their PR.
As of now... more or less everything is settled. Had a bit of disagreement @ the rest just now & I was kinda pissed but matter has been resolved. Now... just gota prepare all the stuff to be brought tomorrow and throw them all in2 1 bag for ez carrying. May it be a brite & sunny day tomorrow!

But just 1 day apart hee hee. & mine is b4 his; when I was younger & had more creative juices flowing, I used to make birthday cards for Mummy; when Daddy asked how come he doesnt have, my reply would always be that I am too tired to make another one after finishing the first one. So the "benefits" of having your birthday come earlier :P Really wish Mummy is ard to witness the start of this important chapter in my life... but wherever she is, I know she is giving us her blessings.
Afterwhich we went 2 get our certs which was really crowded!!! Read in e papers that there were 772 couples who registered but the staff who attended to us told us that there are 777 couples or more! Wow!!! Coincidentally we met Dar's friend who are also having their ceremony tomorrow... and guess what? Their ceremony is just kinda across the road from ours!!! (Their's is held @ Botanical Gardens whilst ours is @ Dempsey). And whilst we were there, we saw some "strange" couples that might be getting married for the sake of getting their PR.
As of now... more or less everything is settled. Had a bit of disagreement @ the rest just now & I was kinda pissed but matter has been resolved. Now... just gota prepare all the stuff to be brought tomorrow and throw them all in2 1 bag for ez carrying. May it be a brite & sunny day tomorrow!

Getting Excited!!!
Many pp have been asking my that question esp over the past 2 weeks... n like I was telling Mangojo, not excited also let everyone ask until excited liao haha! But anyways thanks thanks thanks for everyone's concern!!! :)
how come no one commented on my lovely invitation without me asking huh??? The only comment I got was a "lovely card" fr TBN. SOB SOB!!! Dar & I spent q a lot of time on it wor... u all dun like, can return me to keep as souvenir haha!!! Kidding!!!
Have more or less settled most stuff; went to colour my hair, permed my lashes, booked my facial for tomorrow & will be goin for mani/pedi on Fri. Invites have all gone out on my side but Dar still has to meet some frenz. Thnk the rings have arrived & they r in the process of engraving the date for us; ordered the wine (coz we feel pp wld prefer wine 2 beer) & also got the florist to go down to the rest 2 suggest about some decor. Thng is dat coz the rest is new, the furniture were still not in place when we went down. As the "tent" like thngy is yet to be fixed on the ground, we cldn't tell where the position wld be & whether it will be in an appropriate position. Thus we are still debating whether to do it indoors or outdoors. Might have the best of both worlds by having the solemnisation outside before proceeding inside for food & drinks where there's aircon. Dun want everyone to melt under the hot weather... so thoughtful rites? hee hee But that is still to be decided till we see how they have set up everything...
And we got our first present!!! *happi* *happi* from Dar's eldest bro & sis in law... was v tempted to open the prez straight away but managed to restrain myself! The presents were wrapped and put in a Precious Moments paper bag so hopefully it will be cute & nice. My fren was asking me whether I prefer red packet or gift... actually I am kinda torn in between the 2 coz I love to unwrap pressies but @ the same time money is ever more practical... well whatever it is, I will like one lah :) It's the thought that counts :)
Actually never really "feel" anything the past couple of weeks coz we were still tryin 2 settle many things & liasing w pp. But in the past couple of days, it juz somehow kinda hit me that my life will somehow be a bit different come this Sat onwards... cannot be so wilful & so self-centred anymore. Feel that Dar & I r rather different in some ways (like he has to do 1 stuff @ a time but I like to multi-task) but yet so similar in others (we both like to make fun of each other & both love 2 sleep! haha). I guess this is how couples complement each other & alg e way learn more new things about each other, appreciate each other & build a life together. Dun thnk lifestyles wld change too much in the near future; v thankful & touched that Dar is accomodating & understanding towards me & juz want me 2 b happy & comfy. So yep... m getting more excited as each day draws near... but juz a little thng dat dampened my spirits somewat:
how come no one commented on my lovely invitation without me asking huh??? The only comment I got was a "lovely card" fr TBN. SOB SOB!!! Dar & I spent q a lot of time on it wor... u all dun like, can return me to keep as souvenir haha!!! Kidding!!! "Last Minute"... Not lors!
Arrgh!!! Almost cldn't take off this coming Fri to collect the certs coz my boss is on leave!!! As a result, she wasn't v pleased which admitedly is my fault coz I should have told her early but I didn't coz I was afraid she would ask me to clear my off all @ once but I wanted to use the off instead of leave for my hols. But she was nice enough coz I told her I really need & though I told her I could juz take half day off, she still put me as 1 day off... haha! But then I was thnkin, if I had told her that I need that day to collect my certs n run last min errands (which I can see will be a plenty!!!) she would have let me off. Oh well...
But I m not v pleased coz my colleagues have been told that my this week of leave is "last minute" which is NOT lors!!! See... I was sup to go on leave on 11th June but I asked her if I could take off instead coz I wana take leave next week. She agreed mah!!! Thing is, for some strange reason, too many pp wana take off on 9th July. Was having lunch w some of my colleagues ystd (which was mighty fun!!!) & 1 of my colleague was asking how come dat day is so hot... 什么大日子？I promptly replied "My dad's birthday!!!" haha. :P

Saga Ends...
In view of my previous post, the saga has ended rather uneventfully much to my disappointment. As GM S had taken over the case, he somehow decided that he would refund us the amount they had previously charged for the hotel & airlines, however they would give the whole refund (including the amount that they had previously agreed to give us in the form of a cheque) in the form of a voucher. Tired of dragging the whole issue any further & also as we intended to go on a short trip, Dar & I decided to just take the voucher.
However I am still not happy about the service & am still debating whether to pursue the matter any further. The TA is damn lucky coz I have so much on my platter now that I hafn't really given much thot about my further course of action. I am rather disappointed coz I was all prepared to bring the matter up to CASE and now I don't have a chance to. See, I have written to SQ to ask them to waive the charges but SQ has denied that they charged anything to us! During our conversation with GM S, he anticipated that we wanted or had written to SQ and told us that thought SQ customer service may tell us that they (SQ) did not charge the agent, but reservations side would have charged the agent. However I beg to differ as I believe that the gal who answered my emails from SQ did ask reservations side about the charges. Further to that, she did help us to call the travel but was told that they are not able to reveal anything to her as she was not the customer. I also wanted to write a letter to an even higher authority than GM S regardless of the outcome of the case to complain about Manager K but i am pretty sure that the letter would be duely intercepted and conveniently ignored. Hence I am v "buay gum guan" coz I am not satisfied to let Manager K off juz like dat!
So what do u all thnk? Shd I or shdn't I write to the boss???

Blessed Me
Received a email fr Sis Aneja last evening; had written to her giving her some updates about some of our friends & about the preps. Though her reply was short, somehow it really touched me. It read something like this:
Dear Weipei,
It's always nice to hear from you! You're always so bubbly and full of life, hadn't change much since Sec Sch days! Take care and my blessings are always with you, my dearest friend. =)
Just a couple of sentences but it really touched me & I cldn't stop thinking about her last nite. Have known her since we were 15 & the frenship just grew fr there. The crazeee sec sch days, going diff JCs, rooming together during Uni days... Most importantly, during that v difficult part of my life, she not only encouraged me, she also prayed for my mum and even aft dat, she never failed to call me constantly to check on me even though I was kinda avoiding calls fr friends. & even now, I know that I am constantly in her thoughts & prayers... how more blessed can I be? I miss the times we spent together but I am also v happy for her on the path that she has chosen to take.
M also touched that so many pp r concerned abt the preps & offering their help... speci.gif)
al thanks to MangoJo & Tibetan Nun. I m such a disorganised & messy & huge procrastinator that all sorts of help are needed!!! Feel relieved to know that I have soooo many pairs of hands & legs & eyes & brains to depend on... thanks folks!!!
& the 2 men in my life who has showered me w so much concern & TLC; Daddy for caring & worrying abt me & always wanting the best for me & Darling for the wonderful times spent together. 1 who has done whatever he can to give me the bestest in life & for putting that smile on my face; the other for keeping that smile on my face for a long long time... indeed I can't be more blessed!!!

Do not trifle w moi!
A certain travel agent in Singapore has certainly gotten on sleepy's nerves. Not to bore everyone w a long & lengthy essay, the gist is that Dar & I tried to get a refund from the TA for the Bali trip we cancelled due to Dar's emergency eye op. We were told the refund would take about 6 months n despite the fact that the staff were rude when Dar called to enquire about the refund, we simply waited patiently. However after 6 months n no reply; I managed 2 con my way thru 2 speak to the GM n 15 min later, manager K called me back. & that was where our woes started.
As we were not satisfied w the charges imposed on us, we requested for manager K to give us a ltr stating that the charges were by the airlines & hotel & not by the co itself. However although Dar has been calling manager K every other week & having him tell Dar that he would get the letter by the following Fri, the letter never came. & everytime Dar called manager K, he would always tell Dar that the letter sent to us was already the standard letter & that he doesn't know what Dar wants! N this is despite the fact that manager K always claims to know what Dar wants before they hang up the phone!!! GRRZZZ!!! Finally after 3 months of haggling, he finally sent a letter to Dar handwriting the name of the Airlines & hotel but without intialing next to it!! Talk about professionalism!!! & the day before we received the letter, having got tired of chasing Dar to do the calling, I called to speak to him & he actually threatened me to call the police! Talk about cx service man!!!
So Dar called again to tell manager K to again ammend the letter (n Dar specifically told manager K what to write) & if the operations didn't wana issue the letter, Dar is fine that he handwrites it but he has to sign next to it. It ended up with another shouting match between the 2 of them & w Dar telling manager K that if he doesn't receive the letter by the following Wed (which is this Wed) then he would go down to the TA to make noise. Well, we received the letter on Thurs but again without the contents that we want & so we decided to pop down to the agent yesterday.
Prior to going down, Dar called the office & was told manager K was off yesterday (lucky b**tard) but the GM was ard till 5. We reached there ard 4 & was served by another admin manager who told us that GM S had left for the day. Giving him the benefit of the doubt, we told him what happened & told him to get someone to call us back ASAP. Not satisfied that we didn't get to tok to the manager, just as we were about to leave, sleepy decided to call back the office & guess what??? GM S was actually ard!!!! I knew that they were just trying to prevent us fr seeing him... smartie that I am :P so up we went 2 see GM S & whilst he was rather professional about the matter I felt that he was in a way siding w lousy manager K. When he was told manager K challenged me to call the police, he actually said that knowing manager K he must have been v agitated. Well I retorted by telling him that he should never do that in the service line.
I hope that manager K gets a big scolding but I also know that they will be bitching about what a bitchy couple we are. They must have thought that they got their last laugh by telling us GM S is not ard... well if u wana lie, please cover all ur backsides!!!

For a moment...
... last nite, sleepy forgot how to start Daddy's car!!! The ignition key was turned but I simply couldn't shift the gear from "P" to "D". Issit coz I didn't release the footbrake (aka handbrake)?? But it is already released... or maybe I didn't lock it in place the nite b4 :P Kinda rem that I gota step on the brake so as to shift the gear but I was already stepping on the brake and it still didnt work. (sidenote: for a moment was totally confused coz I was stepping on the brake pedal w my left leg n was wondering if it was correct. Coz when driving Dar's manual car, gota step on the cluth w the left leg but if u drive an auto car, ur left leg actually has nothing to "do") Was just sitting down there for a while... till I stepped on the brake harder w my rite foot and viola, the gear could be shifted!!! & just the nite before, i cldn't switch off the ignition properly. Couldn't figure out why until I realise that the gear was not shifted to "P" properly!!!
How? Getting a bit senile liao... n also getting fat. In the past, when pp commented that I m skinny, I always tell them it is coz everyday, I gota walk out/back 15 min to get 2 the MRT or home. But now, thanks to the convenience of service 175, it merely takes me 5 min to get to the bus stop to work. U will all b seeing a fat & haggard sleepy soon :P

Small World :)
Bumped into some ex sch mates of mine whilst @ Raffles City last nite. Was sup 2 meet Hwee & littlebloom but as nothing was set yet, Dar & I decided 2 go Pregos as he hadn't had his dinner yet. So happens that that grp of fren had actually asked littlebloom out as well!!! What a coincidence! Then @ Pregos, my frens met up w another JC mate of theirs; Dar saw his old cycling fren & we saw another ex sec sch mate there as well!!! So many pp @ 1 place all @ once!
Adding to that, met Dar's cx's gf e other day & found out that she actually knew 1 of the tellers fr my training branch & that her colleague is 1 of my JC frenz. Also found out that Shanster actually knows my good fren's cousin (whom I also kinda know coz my sis knows him fr way back) & Shanster & her fren actually jioed my fren to go wakeboarding together before!!!
It really is a small world afterall!!!

A FULL-filling Day
What a day!!! Started off q well as my cash officer is FINALLY back... so I say "bye bye" to my cash days and can finally sit back @ my seat!!! yippeee!!! Sat r e best working days of e week coz there's nothing much 2 do & hafing not been back @ my seat for 2 weeks, I could finally play the games on my comp (:P) n also packed up my messy drawers n the filing cabinet. Thought it would be a quiet Sat but had 2 handle this stupid case... luckily managed to settle it heh.
Dropped off my watch @ Guess before goin dwn to meet Dar for some specific shopping heh. This little crystal thngy fell of from the watch face & I've been delaying dropping it off coz I always forget to bring the warranty haha! But it'll take 1-6 weeks for it 2 be done... hopefully it wont take 6 weeks!!! Then it was off to Compass Point; grabbed some OCK upon reaching coz Dar had lunch already & I was hoping to eat the 1-4-1 pasta @ Pregos. (sidenote: for all DBS cx for month of June... 1030-1230pm) There was CnK sales but both pair of shoes that caught my eyes didn't have my size... DARN!!! Haven't bought anything during this GSS; it's like sales everywhere but nothing interesting. Oh well but can save $ hee. Whilst waiting for Dar, went 2 the lib there... alamak, it was SOOOOOOOO messy & the books were old & smelly but managed 2 find 2 rather decent books :)
Thankfully Dar didn't make me wait 2 lg... so off 2 the first shop we went. The lady was v helpful but I felt she was a bit persistant but we didn't really see anything that really caught our eye. It's like I like but he don't like or he likes but I feel not suitable. :( Dar then said he was hungry, so we went 2 the food court 4 some food b4 going off 2 e 2nd shop; we were sooooooo surprised the gal kept quiet thruout!!! No suggestions whatsoeva... wat kinda service??? But maybe she is new lah... again nothing caught our eyes... so disappointing!!! Still have 1 more shop, the cheapest of the range... wasn't expecting much but who knows... we did see something we liked!!! Yipee... 1 thing off the long long list :P Hopefully they have our sizes *crosses fingers*
Was about to go hm when Dar asked if I wanted 2 go to some sales n I was like "ok lors". The sales was q messy also so I didn't manage 2 get anything but Dar got 3 berms & his best fren who met us there got a shirt. As Dar's fren hafn't eaten, we went 2 the nearby Purvis Street for some chicken rice. We ordered half a chicken & the ngoh hiang thngy n though I didn't eat a lot, i still felt soooooooo full aft dat!!! N aft dat we still went over to Bugis for this Mango Tango drink dat Dar & his friend liked. It was really q yummilicious!!! Esp since it had real mangoes in them!!! Both Dar n I felt soooooooooo full aft dat... it's like we have been eating non-stop the whole day haha!!! Dar cldn't resisit patting my fat little tummy on the way hm :P
Also had some suggestions fr MangoJo n Dar's fren for the venue. Getting stressed out coz the date is drawing near but still no location is confirmed :( Was v happy when Dar's fren suggested Cafe DM which is where I wld really wana have it but Dar was worried about some issues... well hopefully it works out... Checked the Marina but it was super ex n we wanted 2 keep it small... well hopefully everything works out... everyone pray 4 me ok? :)
