But losses will be mitagated lah coz my mum's side will still give us hee hee :) CNY was also a gd time of catching up; missed 1 w the PA pp (coz I was sick n for the past few times i am always falling sick as the date draws near... maybe i m allergic to them haha) but had a mini ktv session w a couple of them. Met up w my SC frenz too! Wanted 2 lo hei but coz it towards the tail end of CNY n we cldn't decide, it ended up being juz a dinner & chit chat session instead. Oh n also went 2 Shan's hse w QX n DH. Had a nice time catching up although Qixia had 2 leave early... met them again for steamboat abt last wk; we had Mala Huoguo and they requested for more chilli 2 be added coz the soup was 2 bland... n DH ended up with diarrohea e next day! It was hilarious!!!

I m also wondering if I shd take up this advance dip on pte banking offered by my bank. Gotta study twice a week, 1 wkday n 1 wkend (but i thnk e wkday gota take leave) n there is no binding contract. My colleague who is taking it now asked me to go for it coz she says it is q ez 2 pass de. I m debating coz it doesn't sound that ez but @ the same time I thnk it will be gd for me... haiks... dilemma hee. Oh n i finally watched a movie in Sin after donkey months... n it was Slumdog!!! It was really gd... thot it was diff fr other shows n i was saddened by the proverty. N I thot that the slums were gone, until I read in the newspapers that the child actors/actresses still lived in those make-shift tent areas... wow... we really gota count our blessings man!
n so... how's everyone been? I noticed that most pp haf stopped blogging le... hee...

I wonder...
Went in abt 11plus after much dilly dallying and Dar first went to check out some 4x4 shops as he wanted to get an extra tyre or something for Baby V. We then had lunch @ this coffee shop just around the corner; I ordered claypot mee and Dar ordered dry Ban Mian and the total cost was like 8RM!!! The food was q tasty too!!! En route to buy MIL's rojak supplies, we stopped @ The Store. There Dar bought those plain white shirts that he has been looking for for working on his boat @ 10RM per piece. I wanted 2 buy a top n pants but they didn't have my size but I did buy 2 pairs of shoes @ 45RM altogether!!! The uncle wanted 2 give me back extra 10RM but I was v honest haha :P As usual, Dar complained that I am forever buying shoes but hey they were cheap mahs!
MIL needed pineapples but the pineapples were all sold out!!! Thnk it was coz everyone bought to make pineapple tarts bah, but he managed to get the other stuff MIL wanted. Then it was off to wash the car n then to City Square. We wanted to watch Red Cliff but it wasn't showing yet so we decided to watch Ip Man instead. As we kept thnking that Tues was their Movie Day, so imagine our surprise when the bill for both tickets came up to 13RM!!! It was only after the movie that we realised that they've changed their Movie Day to Wed hee. After the movie, we decided to walk ard a bit and went to the Padini Store where Dar bought q a bit of clothes but which were all on sale. I myself got a top for like 20+RM... wld haf gotten more but they only had 3 colours and the other 2 colours were rather dull. By the time we left the shop, it was already 9plus (n we wanted 2 go back @ like 6+ lors!) and we were debating whether to wait till 10 to eat lok lok or to eat @ the rest. But sleepy was kinda tired and so we decided to try our luck @ Sushi King so as to utilise our voucher as well. Luckily they were not closed yet and me ordered udon whilst Dar ordered a Eel rice and soba set. After our 10RM voucher, total bill was like 20+RM :)))
Looks like everything was pretty cheap rites? But I thnk we spent q a bit of money on shopping as well (oh i forgot 2 mention I bought 2 tops fr this other shop hee) so I guess in e end the effect is netted off bahs. Told Dar e next time we go in... I wana go 2 e new mall Danga Bay. Heard it is a super HUGE shopping centre! Till then then :)
New KTV Joint
This 10 dollar place is rite smack in the middle of Chinatown; yep rite in the middle of the CNY bazzar that is going on now. It wasn't that difficult to find, and a narrow, rickety flight of steps led me up to the main reception. Thot the pp there, though bz were rather frenly; they even changed us to a bigger room when they realised we had more pp and thus it was q squeezy in the little room.
Hmm, my verdict, I definitely liked it a lot beta than Top One!!! The number 1 plus point gota be that 10 club didn't have any smoke smell!!!(n i only realised it when I went home!!!) unlike most other KTV joints that I have been to, u r suffocated by the smoke smell upon entry and it leaves the distateful smell on ur clothes and bag after u have left. The songs were updated and if u wanted to key in songs, u cld either use the remote control or it has a touch-screen. UNLIKE Top-One where one had to physically sit infront of the comp to choose ur songs; yep there was NO remote control which was somehing I totally cldn't understand :P Both places had free flow of drinks and yep the drinks were q diluted, but I preferred 10 club coz Top-One was juz like a little syrup mixed with a lot of water n it actually tasted q horrid whereas I cld still taste my honey @ 10 club. Of coz the shark's fin didnt really haf any shark's fin (or maybe I didn't taste any n cldn't see in the dark :P) but it was edible and @ least they were mushrooms so not that bad lah. My only complaint was that the sound wasn't exactly sound-proofed so u cld hear other pp singing in between songs.
But I do thnk it is definitely value for money; they dun charge u extra for those tidbits and the hand towels n @ #11+ per person, it is really worth it. Peeps, let's go there for our K-session next time! :)

Go Andy Go Andy Go Go
Dora bought lite sticks b4 the concert but it was actually not necessary coz we were each given a super kewl lite stick by 1 of the sponsors Nokia n e litestick can change colour one... damn kewl!!! Was q surprised coz there were no free gifts during the Jacky concert and for Jay there was only the cupboard hand thngy (although aft dat there was a poster); was telling Dar that I m saving e litestick for any future concerts that I attend hee hee.
I thot he was v charismatic thruout e concert; he was also v funny in the thngs he say and engaging with the audience even though they may not be standing up and singing along w his songs. N his 2 "sons" were v cute!!! I liked that segment of the concert best!!! They were so "fat" n "round" n cldn't really walk properly yet they managed to turn somersaults and handstands n splits n what have u!!! There was also a segment where they showed his old films and he sang the theme songs from his old films; he looked sooooooooooooo young then!!! N thnx 2 all e botox n wateva, he looks even beta than he was those years back! I m sure it muz haf been v heartwarming for all the fans :) N when he came out for his encore for the fast songs, he asked everyone 2 stand on their feet and dance along w him which prompted many fans (us included) to rush dwn to the railings to be "nearer" 2 him. The encore was v loooong!!! By the time he finished, it was already 1115 pm... definitely well worth our money hee hee.
N i thnk i wana go for JJ's concert again next Mar!!! Anyone wana go w me? :P

Off-Roading
So after dinner, we proceeded to Tanah Merah Ferry Terminal n we were surprised to see a lot of cars for this trip; i didnt do an exact count but I thnk there were easily like 17-18 cars!!! There were LandRovers n many many Tritons (thnk this is how it is spelled...). Waited a while where everyone went ard looking @ every one else's car b4 setting off. Dar wanted his best bud 2 drive but I told Dar 2 drive as I was pretty sure he wld b tired on e way out. He has done off-roading on his bike b4 many many years ago but not on the car so he was a little apprehensive but he did a great job!
Intially the road was still q ok; not many bumps and not many hanging leaves/branches but it soon got more challenging!!! There were potholes for one, of which some were q deep n some part of the roads were q narrow coz of the tree trunks so it was a gd thng dat baby V was small; so it wasn't much of a prob goin thru nor making turns. Then there the dipping tracks; Dar did one that went down n up immediately and I thot that was like the best part of the "trip" but later there was one that was almost 90 degrees!!! Dar took a look and immediately passed the wheel to his best bud haha! There was another part where we had to go up a little hill n turn straight immediately and Baby V almost cldn't make it up!!! Wat a scare!!! But Baby V proved her worth tremendouly and Dar n his fren were v pleased w her performance :) Thnk they r goin 2 get her new accessories next wk; new fenders n visor maybe... so she will haf a new look!
The funny thng was that, we actually made a wrg turn, which was why the path was so challenging! We later found out that coz 1 of drivers let his passenger out to shit on e road, somehow they missed a turn and we had 2 go 1 whole rd to get to our destination which was actually the break waters. But in the end we didn't go coz they haf been driving for almost 3 hrs and we were getting a little tired. It was fun n I dun mind doin it again but seriously, not too often coz aft abt 2 hrs I was like "r we eva reaching our destination???" :P

Memories











After lunch, we proceeded to Rasa w some of the bros who were helping with the projector set up. Being e sleepy gal that I m, I wanted 2 take a nap, but they were having some reno in the unit above us so I cldn't really slep well. :( By the time they stopped n I finally fell into a lite sleep, it was time to wake up coz the MUA was there already. But poor Dar hardly gotta sleep coz somehow they cldn't play the montage on the player n so they spent q a lot of time trying to fig everything out.



& then it was the wedding dinner proper. I felt I didn't take enuff photos w everyone or mingled enuff w everyone :( but juz wana thnk everyone for coming n sharing this v v v special day w me. & all the help fr the frenz n relatives... we are juz v fortunate to have so many helping us. Some pp told me that I gave a good speech n that it was v personal; I'm juz glad I didn't cry when I mentioned my mum... Truly miss her a lot n I wished she was there w us on that day... I guess that was wat my Dad was wishing for also. I was surprised that Dar teared coz he had read the speech b4 n didn't mention anything to me. But we both had a good cry in the hotel rm that nite n he kept assuring me that my Mum, wherever she was wld be v v v happy for us!
I had such a good time that day; wearing my beautiful gown & Nitegown n being the centre of attention... I wish I cld do it all over again!!! Thnx once again everyone for all the well-wishes, blessings, help n for spending the day w us! Most of all, thnx to my Dar for being who he is; for always doting n caring for me n for being the person I wana spend e rest of my life w! *muakies*

Back to work
That is juz 1 of the couple of changes that has happened since I was away. Apparently my boss has stepped up on the project as the roll out date is getting nearer and wants my colleague and I to help to "drive" the proj. I was a bit like "huh" coz I m still a little blur abt e proj and how to go about handling prob. What's more, might have to go back to the RMs n the RMs faces are pretty black nowadays coz of the crisis. And my boss got a new boss! Coz the previous boss was in charge of sales n support but he is not too bz w sales so they've gotten another lady to take care of the support side... hafn't spoken to her yet... hopefully she is q nice! We're also shifting to a new office; intially there were talks of a renovation but now we are juz gonna move across the road to Plaza 1. A slightly longer distance fr OUBC but hopefully the lifts are not as screwed up hee. The "smallest" change wld be dat we now have dress-down Fri! I was surprised the dept didn't have it when I first joined... but I guess it doesnt really make a diff 2 me since I dun wear suits n all anyways :P
Actually I m rather xian of e job... but looking @ the crisis, I dun thnk there's anywhere I can go SOB!!! Just hope I can tahan till everything is beta bahs...

Photoshoot
We were late for our photoshoot that day coz we didn't pack all the stuff the previous nite heh... n we went to buy brekkies b4 goin to the studio. & guess who went to the studio w us??? :P
Yep Yep my Piggies! All 6 of them some more hahaha! I'm surprised Dar agreed to it and my Dad was even more surprised to see me bringing them along for the photoshoot haha! Only thing was that there too many of them... and they r v soft (except for Zhu Tou) n so they all can't really "sit" properly and so there wasn't a photo where all of them were facing the front! Pity the shoot (for them) was v short and they were "pighandled" by the photographer and they were left in the studio when we went for our outdoor shoot so they weren't v happy with the "experience" :P
And yep, dat's my evening gown... in my favourite blue colour! I like it v v v much, only thing is dat I can't grow fat or else cannot wear liaos. The BS made more motiffs around my tummy so as to hide my little tummy hee hee. Oh it is bare back too like my gown.
This is Dar's fave pic (n i like it too! :P):
Our outdoor shoot was shot in Tanah Merah (when pp saw the pics they kept asking me whr it is... umm being the road idiot that I am, I only know it is in Tanah Merah haha) & where else... Punggol. I love the water shots!!! Pity we didn't really manage to get the sunset though... Nite shots were done @ Esplanade and we were all so dead tired aft dat!!! Slept at abt 3am and still had to work e next day coz I cldn't take leave :( But the pics were well worth it! :)
@ Tanah Merah:
@ Esplanade:
We went out another day to take the casual shots coz I wanted to do the wakeboarding shots n coz we didn't haf time to do the bike shots that day. It would haf been q kewl to be riding the bike on my gown rites? Felt the shots were v "us"! :) n I like the motion shot of Dar!!! Kewlz!!!
Definitely my fave shot hee hee!!! Luckily there was @ least 1 nice shot coz I was sooo tired already. (I practised a couple of runs by myself, took a break b4 Dar n I took e pics together) but didn't dare to let go coz Dar was sure to scold haha!!! Final effect on the album was v nice coz it was actually drizzling when the photographer took the pic.
Hope u all like e pics too! I know i like them !!! hee :)
