ON 20 Aug 2008 (20082008), the group of us (years of buddies) pre-celebrated Jasmine's birthday the CENTRAL.

We first had our dinner at Waraku Pasta... and we bought a small "cookie monster" cup cake for the birthday girl!

Time flies and we are friends since little... all started from Yunxian, knew her since kindergarten, yes kindergarten... and she introduced me to Jasmine and Jean (sisters) since primary school days (i think!). And only current years, Jean introduced her buddy, Yen, to us... :p

My 29th Birthday / Chilling out with friends...

2008-08-12T00:28:00.004+08:00

It has been a long time since my last entry! Have been enjoying myself with work, friends, family and with Alvin..

Celebrated my 29th Birthday with friends, colleagues, ex colleagues and Alvin... With friends, the bunch of them - Jialin, Cuiyi, Steph, Sharon, Jannie and Shimin, was indeed unforgettable and also a torture.. but everyone had fun! TOOK many pix.. with Cuiyi's camera.. yet to get them from her.. Seriously, i m not keen to share with all of u.. coz i was being tortured and i looked horrible! Just a gist of it, they first got me a pandon chiffon cake as my birthday cake.. DAMN FUNNY... I m shock to see tat! Reason is, so that i will not sabotage them with the cream. And I got a nike watch from them, as per my request! And the horrible begins after i get the present.. good things never come easy! I got 2 rounds of Sabotages... first, i was force to drink a glass of stout with egg! HORRIBLE!!! this is at E2Max at Cineleisure. Seconf round was at Party world.... they painted my face and pin up my hair with stupid looking flowers.. really look like an idiot.. but all of us enjoyed... It was indeed unforgettable! I think my friends can be a events organisers!

This is our group photo after all the "torture". Back to my normal look!

Alvin got me a durain cake, as per my request... Birthday present? my bunny, Binky, shall be my birthday present... so not romantic... Sigh.. But he did gave me a surprise by bringing me to a nice Jap resturant at Bt Timah... Not bad lar.. :p

Colleagues... gave me a surprise birthday breakfast party.. my colleague, sweet of him, cooked fried noodles for all of us... and got me a black forest cake... that's sweet. Birthday present... i got 2 t-shirts from them!
We went Brotzeit @ VIVO for lunch. ON THE TOP, that's me, with a wierd smile, and Eunice. IN THE MIDDLE, are the food that we ate. LAST, are my colleagues who only cares about the food - Fred and Andrew!

Prior to my birthday celebration, a few of us went Batam... Forgive me.. haven't got time to upload the piz... But it was indeed a shopping trip!

And i went Batam again a few weekends later with Alvin... this time round, it was a relazing trip.. went for massage.. tried something cheap (S$20 for 2 hrs!)... turns out to be so PAINFUL! I think i m gonna stick to hotel spa! Pix not uploaded... NO TIME... hee hee..

But recently, i chilled out with friends and Alvin at Novus at Museum.. It was a very nice place to chill out.. here's the piz..

BINKY! My new netherland dwarf bunny!

Hey... this is BINKY (means Happy rabbit)... She is only 1 mth old... She a grey Netherland Dwarf... Isn't she lovely? Now i m trying bond Bit Bit and Binky together... it's challenging... as Bit Bit is huge and is already 7mths old... and Binky is still so tiny.... Now i m seperating them and only allow them to meet during play time (bonding time).

My recent fav song! Heard it on Class95 while driving... Hope u like it too!

Professor Dr. Randy Pausch

2008-06-02T01:02:00.002+08:00

It's very meaningful... Prof Dr Randy Pausch knows that he is dying from pancretic cancer and he gave his last lecture on LIFE... If u have time, do take a break and take a look at this video. :p

Recent updates about me...

2008-05-26T00:21:00.003+08:00

Wow... it has been months since my last update... Yes, i've left Pfizer for 3 mths. Now with SingHealth... Yes yes... from MNC to Government company.. Never have i dreamt of working in the government sector. But really have to thank my Parkway ex-boss, which is now my boss again, for giving me this opportunity to work with her again and in such a nice company. I m happier of course.. :p I m still doing the same thing as before, have been doing the same thing representing 3 different companies for the last 4.5yrs!.. just that this time round, no SALES TARGET! HUrray!

Before starting with SingHealth... Alvin and I went Taipei for a short trip... it was wonderful.. it's Winter! Not very much of shopping... but it was an eating trip... and guess what, I had serious gastritis when i return. It last me for a week! Puking and puking... went to see 3 different doctors for HELP! Alvin got a mild gastritis too... But if u were to ask me if we still dare to to eat and eat in Taipei.. the ans from us is YES! Of course!

Recently, I went JB with a group of friends and we straighten our hair! It's so CHEAP! It cost me RM$200! which is less then S$100! Usually, i will rebond my hair at abt S$200+++. Hey, condition of my hair is good! Hurray! No more curly hair! It's so troublesome to keep my hair curly... gotta apply wax, mousse and all sorts of hair products to keep the curls curly! So sick of it! Now i m back to my normal look! hurray!

My precious little bunny , Bit Bit, was neutered last Friday... he was so sleepy and tired after the operation... Alvin and I feel so sorry for him. It took us some time to decide whether to neuter Bit Bit.. after all the research in the Internet, asking around... we made the decision to neuter him. Today after 2 days, he's back to normal. He's happily hopping around in his cage... can't wait to play with him again tmr. (Doctor advise to confine him for 3 days in the cage).

Went to the Singapore Flyer yesterday with my friends... it was a OK experience... I guess as a Singaporean, we don't appreciate our scenery as much as a visitor. :p We were busy taking piz once we are in the cabin.. i think the whole ride took us half an hr. The scenery was OK.. but the company was FUN! Will post the piz here once i got the piz from my friend. :p

Alright... will stop here... will try to write again when i feel like it. :p And meanwhile, will upload the piz once i got them! Cheers and Have fun!

HAPPY RATTY NEW YEAR

Change of LOOK!

2008-02-08T02:36:00.000+08:00

I was with LONG STRAIGHT REBONDED hair for MANY MANY years.... And on 1 Feb 2008, I finally manage to have the courage to change...

I curled my hair... cost me $300 and almost 5 hrs to get this... and I seriously not used to it at all... Feel so messy and tend to comb my hair... gotta maintain the curls by putting lotsa hair products on my hair! Can't stand it and really wanna straighten it back... but after consulting many of my girlfriends... ALL said leave it and don't waste my money... So i decided to "straighten" with my fingers and after a few days....

It became wavy.. which is more excepted by myself... Still need to get used to it.

My recent fav. song...

2008-02-08T02:06:00.000+08:00

Hey... recently i have been hearing this over CLASS95 (local radio station) while i was on the road... and I fall in love with it... enjoy the clip!

Please Enjoy!

Merry Christmas!

2007-12-26T01:30:00.000+08:00

Have been buying heaps of stuffs for Xmas! Went shopping with friends before xmas.... and it was darn fun! Check out our Crazy pix! We bought so much that the passenger seat is loaded with our SHOPPINGS!

And what did i get from Alvin for XMAS? See the pix!

It's a 1 mth old boy rabbit, born on 25th Nov 2007 (Our 1st Year wedding Anniversary), so it's very meaningful for us to buy him. We've ultimately named it BitBit (comes from rabBIT). We came out with several names like Latte, Chocalate, Brownie, Rocky, baby etc... but "BitBit" came out so naturally from my mouth when i call him.

BitBit is a cross breed of Netherland Drawf- Daddy and Jamura- Mummy. He's mainly brown with some greys... has got more grey fur at his 2 hind legs... and he is white at his chest and his little tiny tail is white too! And he has got a pair of brown eyes too! So cute!!!

We spend alot on BitBit... lotsa things to carry... and thanks to Alvin's friend, Dennis, came to help us with the stuffs...

After the Xmas dinner with Alvin at The Outback, we went on separate ways to meet our friends... and with my friends, we did a Xmas gifts exchanging and took many funny pix! Will upload when i got all of them!

Alrighty.. that's my updates so far! Cheers! Wishing all of u a VERY MERRY Xmas and Excellent New Year!

Updates since my last entry

2007-12-26T00:47:00.000+08:00

Finally, I've got time to write something here... BECOZ I wouldn't be working from 24th Dec all the way till next yr. :p Hurray!

It has been quite a while since my last entry! I've been good! Busy with work, catching up with sales figures... so tired at the end of the day that I feel so lazy to be online... some friends are complaining that i took ages to reply their emails... So I ask them to sms me when they email anything urgent and requires my prompt responses. Now that I have this SingtelMail that allows me to check my email from my mobile... some of u can also email me at lizziepang@gmail.com for super prompt responses.

Life's has been ups and downs... Downs are nothing much besides falling sick and gotta take 2 days Medical Leave in a week. On that week, on Tuesday, I was coughing, not serious, but that dumb dumb doctor prescribe me with a drowsy cough syrup on Monday when i asked for NON-DROWSY and I gotta take Medical Leave becoz I feel drowsy with that medication, it wouldn't be safe for me to drive to work. And on Friday, my headache is killing... so painful that i feel giddy and nausea. And I went to the doctor and left office in the morning, the pain is so pain and physically i feel so uncomfortable that i can't drive back home. So Alvin gotta get the car from the carpark during lunch. And indeed, when i got back, I puke the whole day! So serious that in the middle of the night, I have to see another doctor, I almost ended up in A&E... Phew! I've went to the neurologist last yr about my headache... and I got something better than what the GP gave me... and I feel much better with it. :p PHEW! Wat a HORRIBLE experience! And I feel so bad for taking 2 Medical Leaves in a week!

Ups... celebrated our 1st yr wedding anniversary and I got a Tiffany & Co. necklace from Alvin and I got him a W910 Sony Ericsson mobile phone! And of coz we went Scarlet Hotel for a night stay and had Japanese at Mt Faber for dinner! Kinda simple huh... We could have went outa singapore and our dear friend, Alvin, is on call for national service.... can't get outa singapore!

A tour to the the rural...

2007-10-07T19:12:00.000+08:00

Yesterday (Saturday), both of us woke up earlier than the usual Saturday. BECOZ I've got to collect my car from the service centre before 1pm. :p Forcing ourselves to wake up earlier. Since we start our day early and don't wanna spend so much parking in the city going shopping. We decided to hang around the rural part of Singapore- Choa Chu Kang and Lim Chu Kang. So while Alvin was driving, I took out my Sony Ericsson to take some vain shots of myself with my NEW shades from MANGO! hee hee....

Here's some other pix of Alvin and me. And some scenery of CCK and LCK! :p

Crab Fest BUT....

2007-10-06T02:15:00.000+08:00

I think 2 to 3 fridays back, i met up with my friends... Jailin and Cuiyi... we went Toa Payoh for CRABS!!! it was really YUMMY! BUT BUT BUT becoz i forgot to take my breakfast and Lunch the whole day... TOO BUSY... when i stuff myself with CRABS.... my GASTRIC hurts like HELL and that pain lasted me 24hrs and I have to see the doctor on Saturday MIDNIGHT and that cost me $78 of medical bills! (So, my dear friends... don't SKIP your meals!) We ordered Crab Bee Hoon, Pork Ribs and Veg with REAL Abalone! I enjoyed THOSE... Before I felt a SHARP SQUEEZING PAIN at my gastric. When it got worst... we ordered Chilli CRAB... It taste good... But my gastric is reject it... I stop eating that after a few bites. AND TOTAL BILLS TURNS OUT TO BE ABOUT $115!

Take a look at the Pix at the following website... copied from my friend... I wasn't really in the pix.. coz my gastric was disturbing... don't feel like posing.. so i took piz for them! haa haa... ENJOY! DON'T JEALOUS K!

Food that I've cooked

2007-10-06T01:41:00.000+08:00

Today, I cookded FRESH prawns (and I mean LIVE PRAWNS!), steamed FRESH fish (and I mean LIVE FISH!), stir fry pork with Szechuan veg (pretty yummy consider that it was my first attempt) and Sambal KangKong... These cost us only $12!

Ever since the supermarket near my place opens... I have been cooking whenever i have some time after work. :p

And here's the rest that I've cooked last few months...

Some time this week, i steamed 2 LIVE crabs too! Hmmm.... Not very fantastic... maybe becoz the man SMASHED the BEST part of the crabs (the "claws") until it was totally exposed...Or maybe I m still lack of skills...hee hee....

As for these... forgot when i cooked it.... But it's Steamed Egg (taste like Charamusi), Stir Fry KaiLan and GUESS WAT!!!!! FRESH FROGS! And I mean LIVE frogs... the man at the supermarket killed them alive and there are 6 of them... As i was waiting for him to kill.... Although i can't see... But i can feel HOW CRUEL I M.... SOB SOB! But they are so fresh and nice!

Also dunno when i cooked this.... pretty simple dishes... Just Stir Fry KaiLan with Oyster Sauce, Sambal Prawns, Terikayi Chicken and Pan Fried Cod fish with some sauce.

So anyone dares to try my cooking? hee hee... Wait till i shift to my OWN home... haa haa...

Timing is not coincidence

2007-09-02T03:32:00.000+08:00

Got this via email from a friend... kinda like it... Please enjoy!

People come into your life for a reason,

a season or a lifetime.

When you know which one it is,

you will know what to do for that person.

When someone is in your life for a REASON,

it is usually to meet a need you have expressed.

They have come to assist you through a difficulty,

to provide you with guidance and support,

to aid you physically, emotionally or spiritually.

They may seem like a god send and they are.

They are there for the reason you need them to be.

Then, without any wrong doing on your part or at an inconvenient time,

this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end.

Sometimes they die.

Sometimes they walk away.

Sometimes they act up and force you to take a stand.

What we must realize is that our need has been met,

our desire fulfilled,their work is done.

The prayer you sent up has been answered and now it is time to move on.

Some people come into your life for a SEASON,

because your turn has come to share, grow or learn.

They bring you an experience of peace or make you laugh.

They may teach you something you have never done.

They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy.

Believe it, it is real.

But only for a season.

LIFETIME relationships teach you lifetime lessons,

things you must build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation.

Your job is to accept the lesson,

love the person and put what you have learned to use in all other relationships and areas of your life.

It is said that love is blind but friendship is clairvoyant.

Thank you for being a part of my life, whether you were a reason, a season or a lifetime.

My Birthday Celebration with Alvin on 21 July 2007

2007-08-27T00:23:00.000+08:00

Alvin took me to Sentosa... Before dinner we went Underwater World for a tour. And we had dinner at my favourite hotel - THE BEAUFORT HOTEL (now called The Sentosa Spa Resort). It was indeed a romantic night... THANK YOU, ALVIN...

Enjoy our pix... some pix wasn't nicely taken... coz i didn't have time to edit and filter the photos... :p

Updates....

2007-08-26T18:46:00.000+08:00

Finally, I fall sick (fever and Bodyache) on Thursday and Friday and i got some time to update my blog. Gonna cook dinner later!

Last Wednesday (when i feel something's wrong with my body), I went to the studio to support our friends JASMINE AND JEAN - 10 to LIVE THEIR DREAMS! They were good!!!!

LIVE THE DREAM stage

10 (Jasmine and Jean)'s supportors! (including me!)

Jasmine and Jean was introduced before the show. (Then was told that no photography in the studio)

WeiTing, Yunxian and myself... we are Jasmine and Jean's childhood friends! So proud of our friends!

As mentioned in my previous email, I have been pretty busy with my new job.... even at nite, i gotta prepare my next day's plan and do my call reports. But will be definately try to make it for any activities planned by my friends... and will make sure I m avaliable on Saturdays for Alvin. And try to make time to go back to my parent's place almost everyweek... but seems like it's being reduced to bi-weekly...

Well well, last mth, my friends celebrated my birthday with me... it was a joint bday celebration with Shirley too... THANKS GIRLS!

Here's my photos.... it's kinda messy and most of us might not look good in the photos too... coz we are too crazy as if we were drunk!.... But trust me, none of us was drunk! Oh.. they gave me a NIKE watch as my birthday present! It's so NICE! I love it! Enjoy the video...

In July, my best friend- DAWN, came back for winter vacation.. here's some pix that we took together....

Bizzie Lizzie

2007-08-04T00:50:00.000+08:00

Hi hi... it has been some time since my last update about my whereabouts since June. Ever since i started my employment with my new job.... hardly do i have time for other things, like updating my blog. Sometimes i do regret switching job.

Every week nights, i will be back home revising my product knowledge, do my sales calls report, preparing for next day sales calls, figuring out how to get to those places.... it's so time consuming. Really hope that things will be like when i was with Parkway lab when i know where are all my clinics in the eastern of Singapore and know my product and competitors at my finger tip! I shall give myself a total of 3 mths.

So pardon me that I don't have time to update here...

Hardly do i come online (only for checking emails), no more MSN, visit my parents once every bi-weekly, instead of once a week, visits my in-laws once a mth! Goash... reflecting about my recent lifestyle, i wish i have more than 24hrs a day!

I've been sparing some time with my friends... even when my best friend, Dawn, was back for winter vacation, I only meet up with her say about 2 times (one to one) during her 3 weeks vacation, feel so bad about it. Celebrated some of my friends and my birthday in July... it was great! Took some nice pix during my birthday celebration... received nice presents too! Will post it up with i got them uploaded... (recently, have problem uploading pix from my fone via bluetooth to my laptop!) Gimme some time!

Alrighty.. hope alls well! And be happy!

Cheers!

Japanese Curry Rice...

2007-06-24T23:17:00.000+08:00

In the mood today to cook dinner.... so menu for dinner is just Japanese Chix Curry Rice with something outa place... Fried KaiLan with Oyster Sauce (very chinese huh?) We feel like eating that too.

DAWN:

Tomorrow (25th June 2007), my dear friend, Dawn, will be back from Brisbane for winter vacation for a month! Haven't seen her for 1 whole year! Wondering whether she's grown fatter, thinner, taller, shorter, prettier, uglier, more tanned, fairer, longer hair, shorter hair? Haa haaa.... Coming back with a "AngMo" boyfriend or "asian" boyfriend or just coming back alone? Can't wait to meet her again! But these few weeks, i will be busy with training at my new job.... will not have much time with her. PLUS already planned some activities with other of my friends.... Need more time!

First week with Pfizer..

2007-06-22T23:51:00.000+08:00

Finally, I m in a totally new environment.... somewhere I ever wanted to be in.. and now i m in it - Pfizer, "the largest pharmaceutical company in the world." (quoted from Wikipedia) And on the other hand, i can't believe that I have walked out of Parkway Laboratory Services (my comfort zone) to move on to a new career. I m still thinking of those days that i was in Parkway Lab Services.. how i spent my time in the morning with my colleagues, how i solve my doctor's problems and requests, how i lead my team, how i do my paperwork (including Budgeting - my annual nightmare!) in the office etc...

Well, with Pfizer, i will be doing the same thing, just that i will be selling a different product, covering a different area (after this, i have completed covering the WHOLE island wide of Doctors!) and representing a different company... occasionally, i do intro myself on the phone as I m calling from Parkway Lab... feels so weird to change, must think twice before introducing myself. :p

So far, for the first day, i was pretty lost.... blur! I think it's a normal feeling.... Pfizer is Darn big... with heaps of sales reps in the company! My boss's a guy... pretty nice! Get to know more about him and my team more as time goes by. For the first few days, i had this regrets of changing my job to Pfizer.. i wish i can be back with Parkway Lab. I was dragging myself to work for the first few days.... then finally, these 2 days (Thurs and Fri) we had event at Novotel Hotel with team buildings and some other meetings.... I get to know more ppl and know alot more about my team of colleagues and I feel so much better. I think I can do as well as I did with Parkway Lab.

Today, during one of the team building game, I was appointed to be the leader for the group of 25 people... being new, i admit that i lack of confidence... I don't know most of the team members in the group of 25. But i definitely do my best to lead... but i do have some other colleagues came fwd to help me too. At the end of the game, we won! And i was being "sabotage" to say something about the game.... And i commented that Team Work is very important... and everyone of us has got this inborn leadership skills in us and we came fwd to help each other and that is why we won! (of coz in me, i feel a little disappointed that I m not confident enough to control such a group well. Maybe I feel intimated that because I m NEW.) But everyone was surprise that I m Ok to stand fwd to be the leader for the game because I m only 5 days old with the company. Heee.... I myself also surprise too!

Pfizer is a fun American company... so generous with its employees. Today after the event, we had our dinner at Hooters! We had games! Sabotaging the new comers.... and I manage to escape from it! I was in the loo when my name is being called.... :p

So far, I m doing well, although initially i feel sucks! I m sure I will do even better as time pass... :p Wish me LUCK!

Eve of my first day with my new employer...

2007-06-17T19:21:00.000+08:00

Goash... it was indeed a well spent 1 week holiday during the transition between my previous and current employers. Had a break at Ho Chi Minh City, spent more time with Alvin, grooming my new "boyfriend", catching up with friends and families. And i think that's enough.

Tomorrow shall be my first day of work with my new employer - Pfizer. Hmmm.... not as excited as when I first started with my previous employer (My first job after i graduated from Uni)... but more QUESTIONS in my mind like who's my boss, male or female? Is my boss nice? What kinda drugs i will be selling? Which areas will i be covering? Good for me if I will be covering my old areas when i was with my previous employer. Can i handle? Coz i will be driving to clinics, will i get lost on the road? Etc... But at least i know what to expect in this new job... it's gonna be the same as what i was doing- visiting physicians to get business. Just that i will be representing a different company and selling different product. But i really hope that i will be covering the same group of doctors whom i used to cover. Whatever it is.... I believe in WHEN THERE'S A WILL, THERE'S A WAY!

But overall, it feels weird to start over again... getting used to new environment and learning new products. It's like a Boy-girl Relationship... it's sad to break up with someone... and so lazy to get to know/explore someone new. Maybe my laziness makes me loyal. :p So maybe it's good to be lazy sometimes... But on the other hand, we all know that we should change for better. And i strongly believe in it. Know what we want in life and make changes to be happier. Agree? :p

CLICK CLICK CLICK....

2007-06-16T02:59:00.000+08:00

Click click click... while being driven around by Alvin! Nice to be a rider then a driver! :p Yah Yah... i know i m vain... Just feel like clicking becoz i think i m simply bored! haa haa.... Bear with me....

HO CHI MINH CITY

2007-06-14T01:37:00.000+08:00

It was a another shopping city with terrible horrible traffic! To get CHEAP bargains... one must withstand the HEAT and the stuffiness! I was so tired and hot... that i don't feel like posing at the cameras!

We had Pho (Famous Viet Beef Noodles) for almost every meals! We are beef lovers! heee hee... enjoy our pix!

The Final Farewell

2007-06-07T22:27:00.000+08:00

Today's my last day with my current company.... the handling of duties was successful... intro my colleague to some of my doctors, called and email my doctors and some other business associates to inform them about my resignation etc....

Yesterday, my girls from my department gave me a "farewell" lunch at Novena Sq.... and today, gonna be in office the whole day alone, i gave a lunch treat to my other colleagues (aunties). They wanted to treat me... but in the end, i was faster in footing the bill... hee hee.... But that was indeed sweet of them.

My girls from my department gave me a name card holder and a well written card (didn't read the card in office... coz i know i will weep in front of them).... Big boss's secretary gave my company's pen... and another supervisor gave me a little pouch... :p

When i woke up this morning i told myself " hey u.... stop being a baby and stop weeping in front of ppl!" And I got sms from friends like Yunxian and Daniel to remind me not to teared! And calls from Alvin to remind me not to "open my tap". So indeed, i tried so much to hold my tears... BUT I still weep twice in the office.... ERGH! it's so difficult to hold back my tears... got caught by one of the managers! DARN! WAT A SHAME!

Anyway... it's a nice farewell to everyone in the company.... but on the other hand, it's tough to hold back my tears for the whole day... Glad it over!

Okie... gotta sleep early tonite.... gotta wake up super early later for HO CHI MINH CITY!

Bye Bye... on 7th June 2007....

2007-06-03T16:05:00.000+08:00

Yes... on 7th June 2007 (Thursday) shall be my last day with my current company - Parkway Laboratory Services after 3 yrs 4mths of service to them and my doctors. Dragging myself to leave the company... but I know i gotta move on.... it's an great opportunity to be with Pfizer and also was my dream 3 yrs ago before i joined Parkway Laboratory. Joining Parkway Laboratory is like a stepping stone for me to be in the Healthcare industry in Singapore. Now my dream (although my dream is to work in Australia, this is good enough too!) has came true and now dragging myself outta the company, gonna miss all my colleagues. Some of my colleagues outside my department learnt about my resignation last Friday... some of them was chatting with me and giving me advise on Saturday. So glad that they care! One of them (auntie!) commented that as a friend she also hate to see me leave... but on the other hand she will be happy for me to move on. WOW... i almost teared.. but i held back! Sigh! Darn! too emotional! I can't believe that myself is leaving in 4 days time!

Anyway... I've got about 10 days to my first day of work in Pfizer. So just right after my last day of work with Parkway Laboratory. On the 8th June 2007, Alvin and I will be going on our "2nd honeymoon" to Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam, for 4 days before we meet my "BOYFRIEND" (Guess Who?) on 11 or 12 June 2007. Can't wait till 8th June!

Gee.... this yr is Indochina Traveling Year for us! haa haa... we just got back from Cambodia in Mar and 2 mths later, we are going Vietnam! Or rather u can say we are too poor to travel for our honeymoon but have to travel to the 3rd world countries... hee hee... Goash! Can't wait for the shopping and FOOD!!!! :p

A "thank u" dinner for my boy...

2007-05-28T21:59:00.000+08:00

Hey to the only man whom I truly love (besides my dad and brother!)... thank you for taking good care of me while i almost DIEDED yesterday...

And today I cooked him something that he has been yearning for since Saturday nite. We had Black pepper steak, Aglio Olio, Chicken noodle soup (from Cambells) and something out of place is baby kailan with oyster sauce.

What a terrible SUNDAY!

2007-05-28T16:26:00.000+08:00

First i started off with body ache and headache, gradually my body temperature rose up from 37.8 degrees to 38.5 degrees... by the time when i hit 38.5 degrees, i m so weak and heavy that I almost can't move out of my bed... my head was so heavy and pain that i hope that the doctor has got some kind of injection for me to get ride of it immediately, despite that i m fear of getting prick.

Without delaying, Alvin brought me to the nearest clinic that is still open on a Sunday nite. The doctor gave me fright, he suspects that it may be Dengue fever. And i gotta monitor signs of rashes and bleeding. As i don't have any sign of influenza or colds.

Alvin and I planned to cook steak and spaghetti for dinner on Sunday nite... but becoz i was down with fever... it didn't go well as planned. So my poor boy went to buy himself a steak from the hawker centre nearby and fishball noodles to substitute for the spaghetti. Sorry... And he is so greedy!!!

After having a good rest today at home... i m much better, so signs of dengue or anything.... i should be healthier tomorrow. :p PHEW....

Bye Bye... (Part2)

2007-05-23T21:27:00.000+08:00

Finally i tendered my resignation to my Big boss today... it was a short chat with him and he gave me some advise making sure that I've made the right choice. But i told him that I need to get more exposure and experience. After all Parkway Lab is my first job after graduating from uni. He finally accepted. Goash.... I m really glad that my hard work that contributes to the company for the past 3 yrs has pays off... is recognised.

After I came out from his room, I was caught weeping by his secretary in my room. Goash! What a shame! Sigh....

It was indeed a tough decision between earning more MONEY in Pfizer and building up my portfolio in my resume here with Parkway Lab.

Bye Bye... I will miss all my colleagues and boss....

Bye Bye....

2007-05-22T22:41:00.000+08:00

Yes yes yes... haven't been updating my whereabouts since 1 May 2007! I was stuck in making a BIG decision.... A decision that requires me to force myself to leave my comfort zone. It's my career!!! 2 weeks back I was accepted my Pfizer and I was in a dilemma to stay or leave my current job in Parkway Laboratory Services... There's no good reason to leave if it's not because MONEY! I certainly do enjoy what i m doing and my colleagues are wonderful, bosses are good! Nothing else to ask for except my remuneration package. While waiting for my CEO to come back from business trip, i have been thinking alot... asking around for opinions... ALL my friends encourage me to move on... none ask me to stay. It was really terrible to face my colleagues as i can't tell them anything yet until I tell boss... And when announce this to them... wat a shame... i cried! Sigh! So emotional!

Today, finally my CEO came back from his business trip... and finally i got to speak to him about my resignation... Goash... never did i expect... he counter offer me and wanted to promote me to a higher level position. I was shock and I was speechless during the discussion. I was really flattered when he tries so hard to change my mind... so I told him that i will think about his offer and will get back to him.

Frankly, i was totally lost... i was tempted by the promotion and glad that my hard work was recognised. I prayed... I cried too... really hate to leave but i gotta leave... finally, i prayed "Oh lord, can u tell me a direct answer through Daniel (My ex-bozz)!" And so i rang him.... He told me to go ahead with Pfizer... it's time for me to leave Parkway Lab... Rang my Bro, he scolded me and ask me to move on! Alvin also strongly encourage me to do so and said the same thing as Daniel. And I made up my mind to leave Parkway Lab... and move on in Pfizer.... Tomorrow i shall confirm myself to leave Parkway Lab...

BYE BYE Parkway Lab.... I definitely will miss all my colleagues... Sob Sob! It's a wonderful place to work in...

Gonna return all these to the company on my last day of service with Parkway Lab.... BYE BYE....

NEW Love Hut...

2007-04-30T23:38:00.000+08:00

We spent almost 2 weeks to pack, shift, unpack, clean and decorate our new rented place. Despite that our new place is just a street away from our old rented place, it takes us heaps of time to get everything over. Some evenings it might rain, so it slows down the process of shifting. Our stuffs can be heavy, with the help of our trolley, we try to make at least a trip every evening, unless it rain.

This new rented place wasn't as "style" and big as the old one.... so space management is involved and creativity to get it "style" is another issue. :p Spent quite a hefty sum of money on this place too. Sigh...

Faster than we planned, we managed to settle down on Sunday afternoon, so we decided to take a break and decided to catch a movie - Hills Have Eyes 2, with my HSBC 1-for-1 deal. (Instead of watching that on Monday). It was a great movie, full of suspense... Something like See No Evil and Texas Chainsaw Massacre. And today, we went Johor Bahru - Tabrau City to shop and in the evening, we went to City Square. Didn't buy much things... got 3 mths supply of Coloured Contact lens for only $24 each month, which is very very CHEAP! In Singapore, I got to pay $40plus for 1 mth. Goash!

SO SO... it's not easy to shift... I hope this is the last time that we have to shift... unless shifting to our HOUSE in Punggol. These 2 weeks we gotta say NO to our social appointments.... AND finally, our social live is back to normal again! :p

AND guess what, at my OLD rented place.... last friday (27th Apr, which is also hearing of possession for my previous owner) when I got back from work, I found a note from a police officer underneath the door looking for my owner's husband, asking him to return his call. And furthermore, on Saturday morning, someone knocked on our door and handed us a letter of summon for the owner's husband. Goash... my owner is really in deep shit.... and thank god that my friend warned us to end the contract with this owner. There's no financial lost for this contract. Thank god! Now we are stress-free and we can concentrate on our own personal life.

Bye bye #03-115

2007-04-25T23:44:00.000+08:00

We will be offically moving to another new unit by this weekend... therefore, we are very busy with packing, moving and unpacking these 2 weeks. Would like to apologise to our friends whom i have to turn down our outings... don't worry... I will b back to normal in May! Gimme a few more dayz..

Here's some pix of my current place that i will be leaving soon....

The BedRoom(where we get our beauty sleeps)

The Living Room (where we relax and watch programmes)

Packing and Moving...

2007-04-18T00:18:00.000+08:00

Ever since we have problem with the house... we are never available for our social life. I must thank god for leading us to this new place which is just opposite our current rented unit. We just need to get a trolley and move our stuffs over. Environment is much better too. But of coz it's 100 bucks more than what we are currently pay. We have been packing and scheduling our time to shift our stuffs over and getting the cleaners to clean the place too. We are gradually starting to move our stuffs over the the new place.

It's really an eventful month for us... Stressful but learnt alot from all these shits.

Sam... I know u will be checking on my blog... just leave a short update for you! THANKS for that green tea cake from SHANGHAI! Nice!! Thanks Angelia too! Not really in the mood to write more... will definitely write more when i've got time. :p

Hopefully, after we officially shifted to our new rented unit, our life shall be back to normal... guys... give us some time to settle all these shits.

Cheers...

MOVING HOUSE...

2007-04-09T23:04:00.000+08:00

Thank god for all the hints, warning me to beware of my current owner. Suspicion raised when we received a huge document at our door step just before we left for Cambodia. We choose to ignore it (mainly becoz we wanna enjoy our holiday), we informed the owner and mailed it to her before we leave Singapore. When we were back from Cambodia, she rang me and told me that she needs to get someone who can pay higher rental than what we are paying now. We were even more wary about it. So I called up my friend who works in the sub court to check on my owner... and indeed, she's in deep shit. It was indeed stressful for us after we learnt about it. Both Alvin and I had sleepless nights... cancel all our appointments with friends and focus on house hunting. We were worried about where we gonna shift to and are we able to get a unit that we want on time. PLUS property price in Singapore rose and rental prices are no longer within our budget. We were stressed.

For a moment we were relieved because Alvin's Dad's friend can offer us his place for rental at a low price. But because his current tenants are still under contract, we can't get the place till Sept... Back to square one, we continue our house hunt!

Finally, last Saturday, we found a unit that's just opposite our current place. And we took it up! Thank god for it... although it's 100 bucks more expensive than what we are paying now. The owner is a Christian couple. And i usually trust Christians, but my owner proves me wrong, not all Christians are honest. We almost got cheated for 200 bucks for offering to pay for the penalty to terminate their current Internet service which, according to the owners after calling the provider, that it's still under contact and penalty's 400 bucks for terminating. We were naive and trusted their words and i wrote a cheque for them.

When we got home, something tells me that something's fishy about the penalty, so we call up the service provider to ask and realised that the owner lied about the penalty. Trust is broken then! Never will i believe their words. Anyway, Alvin called them up and check again and yes indeed, after checking again, they agreed that there's no penalty, someone told them the wrong information.. (BULL SHIT!!)... And they return the cheque to me.

I m sharing our experience here with all of u, so that u don't get into the same situation like us... moral of the story.. never trust anyone... despite that they look honest, they are Christians, they look decent.. HUMANS are sinner, always tempted by greed. :p

Anyway, through all these, we learnt and become more mature and able to handle such things with care. I view it as a life skill...

AND also, we would like to thank all our friends who help us in finding house, giving information and advises, recommanding reliable agents to us and offer to help us to shift house! THANK U my dear friends... U know who u are! And Jialin, sorry that I m not able to join u guys for ur Birthday KTV session because of all these shits... sorry. And Yunxian, thank you for understanding that I need the rest after stressing so much... sorry... gotta cancel appointment with u too.

Siem Reap, Cambodia

2007-04-05T00:23:00.000+08:00

Alvin and I was at Siem Reap, Cambodia from 27th Mar to 30th Mar. It was an awesome trip! if u don't mind getting under the HOT sun (41 degrees), sweating the whole day, sun burnt at the end of the whole trip and u love to see the ruins of Angkor Wat (one of the 7 wonders)... then that's the place u MUST visit! It's amazing structure and history makes me feel it's worth sweating!

The most exciting part of the trip was that we have to climb up a steep, narrow, high, ruined stairs at Angkor Wat.... climbing up is OK... pretty scary.... climbing down was like a horror to me... I was shaking the whole time while i took my own sweet time to get down. Of coz Alvin was with me... and I prayed while i were going down. :p But it's worth the effort and terror! hee hee...

There's nothing much to shop in Siem Reap.... basically, it's some stuffs that u can get from Bangkok or even in Singapore. So there's isn't shopping for me. Things are not very cheap there... coz they are using US dollars for transactions. :p We spend most of our money on sight seeing, FOOD (not very fantastic!) and taxes (US$25 each)... And also massage (traditional Khmer massage) which is not fantastic too....

We took our own transport (tuk tuk) to their local wet market.... it was very interesting to see a different culture. Alvin bought tobacco from one of the store and try, he said it was very strong... yuckie! And as requested by Yenling, I bought rice from the market too... YES RICE for her! haa haaa.... communcation was very bad.... they don't understand English at all... so when i ask how much... we have to like communicate as if we are dumb and mute... haa haa.. that's super interesting and funny too! haa haa.... it's a different culture! And I m liking it.

Now i m tanned and I m peeling on my shoulders... hee hee... but I love my tan... :p

here's all my 400 plus photos that we've took from Siem Reap which includes Angkor Wat... ENJOY!

ANGKOR WAT, SIEM REAP 27 Mar to 30 Mar 2007

ZOUK nite out!

2007-03-25T23:42:00.000+08:00

Planned to go Butter Factory at Mohd Sultan last Friday 23rd Mar 2007.... Yunxian came to my place first after work.... Piz taken at home after we dolled up!

We went in to BUTTER FACTORY first while waiting for Yunxian's friends to come... Goash.... it's abt 10:30pm (maybe too early) only 2 groups people were there! Decided to change of location.... ZOUK! it has been years since i was there!!!

We went in from Velvet! And YES! That's the kind of crowd I m looking for! GOOD good, not tat bad!

Almost picked up by some guy... thank god, yunxian's friend, Han Long, was there to block me away from him... Phew... Surprised by myself that I was afraid of being approached.

When I was younger, i dare to flirt and dance with some cute guys who approached me on the dance floor... (even I was seeing my ex-boyfriend!) Of coz, once i were outa the Dance floor... we were friends no more... :p It was just flirting... ego boosting. :p

And I m surprised by my natural reaction that I retreated when I m about to be approached. This clearly proves that I love Alvin very much that I feel YUCKie when I flirt with other guys! haa.. that's why I m married to HIM!

For sure, I will definately go back again for the FUN, the MUSIC, the DANCE and FRIENDS... But I don't think I can flirt like before when i was younger!

Our love hut @ Punggol is still building...

We reached Batam super early in the morning... as arranged by Gina, we had 2 chauffeurs to drove us around where we want to go... FIRST.. we went to Diamond City Mall for A&W for brunch and we went around the mall to buy DVDs and snacks, toiletries etc.

Next we went for massage for S$20 for 1.5 hrs! DIRT CHEAP!

AND FINALLY, we went to eat SEAFOOD and we paid only S$7.50 each per person for Assam fish, pepper crab, chilli crab, steam crab, sambal sotong, cereral prawn, fried deer meat, sweet and sour chicken, kailan for veggie, sambal kang kong for veggie, FuYong egg... and countless number of rice! They are delicious and CHEAP!

Thereafter, we went back to Holiday Inn... and got change into our swimsuit and we had fun at the swimming pool... as if we were drunk... or rather we just got out from the mental hospital! (Pictures were taken... but wasn't in my camera... will upload again later!) stay tune!

CELEBRATIONS!!!!

2007-02-25T23:07:00.001+08:00

Exactly 5 YEARS ago, Alvin and I got together as girlfriend and boyfriend in this little suburb call Ipswich in Brisbane.. Then, we were students... poor but happy. :) Those were the dating days.... And today we are celebrating our 5th year dating anniversary as husband and wife.

24th Feb 2007:

We start celebrating our "valentine's day" on 24th Feb evening. Nothing fantastic... after i met my friends in the afternoon, we started the celebration at Sizzler at Suntec City. We shopped for my anniversary gift.... what he got for me is a "Secret" and I got him his favorite watch as his birthday on 19th Feb and for our anniversary today. And we went for a movie at Marina Square - Ghost Rider. Great Movie! And after the movie, we went Esplanade for a walk, and we watch part of Jackie Chan's Movie - RoBiHood, at the starlight cinema... that's was a lovely environment... but unfortunately, it rained! Ergh.. and we went back home to continue that movie at our love hut. :)

And today Japanese menu for the celebration is..... Cold Soba, Chawamushi and Tori no Kara-age (Deep-fried Chicken Nuggets). Chef of today is ME....

Alvin's Birthday on 19th Feb 2007:
Talking about Alvin's Birthday on 19th Feb 2007... We went Sentosa... Dad's friend from Hong Kong came and we have to chauffeur him to The Sentosa Resort to meet his friends and we celebrated Alvin's Birthday at a Indian Restaurant. Food's not bad... But service sucks! They took a LONG time to serve our food! Sometimes, i wonder whether we were in MTV BOILING POINT. :)
We got back home and I made him a cake and mango dessert.... :) Check this out...

Yummeee....

Back from Reservist....

2007-02-11T02:25:00.000+08:00

Alvin was gone for reservist for the WHOLE of last week (from Friday nite and back on the following Friday evening).... and that WHOLE week... Mum and Dad came over the stay with me. I was kinda busy with them.... Mum stayed with me over the weekend.... I went shopping with her at Chinatown for some new year goodies and Ikea which is very near to my house. :) And of coz, i met up with some of friends for KTV session on Saturday nite while my mum shops for her new year clothes... and I accompanied her after my KTV session shopping for new year goodies.

Dad came to "change-shift" with mum on Sunday... Coz mum needs to be back for my niece - Hazel. With Dad, there's no shopping.... nothing... just at home watching TV together. :) That's good enough.... :)

Although it's nice to have my parents around with me at home..... I do occasionally miss my hubby.... so used to have him around.... for the first few days, it was kinda weird to stay with mum.... but i got used to it gradually.

And finally, my dear alvin is back from reservist... and it's back to our normal routine! Now i gotta adjust back to have him around again! :p

I will be travelling alot in March!!! Can't wait till MARCH! Will be with other 10 of my girlfriends to BATAM on 17th Mar 2007 for a night... AND will be with my hubby to Siem Reap (Angkor Wat, Cambodia) 10 days later after my BATAM trip... which is 27th Mar to 30th Mar! It's gonna be one of our honeymoon destinations.... I m looking forward to these trips!

TO ALL CHINESE..... HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR!

I have an unreasonable sis-in-law

2007-01-29T23:00:00.000+08:00

I wish this woman never exist in the world to hurt people emotionally. Over the weekend, told by my mum, she wants me to move all my things out of my room since i m no longer staying with my parents. Goash! First, she wants me out of the house! FINE, i m now out... and I m seriously happier... just that i seriously miss my parents very much... Now, she wants me to move my things out too. Hey... my brother gave me the permission to leave my things in my room till i move into my very own house. Now i m just renting a place with Alvin. She's too much... it's so expected that she will do that. I was really disappointed with her.... I can't believe such nasty woman can be my brother's wife. Shit man... what have i done that she needs to do all these to me.

Come on... my niece, Hazel, is only 1 yr old.... she don't need a room to herself right? Anyway, my dad, mum and brother is alright for me to leave my things in my bedroom, except her... She just wants me to be completely out.

Now that Alvin's having his reservist.... i intent to go back to my parent's place to stay for a few days while Alvin's away.... Now it seems that I can't do it...That Bitch just have spoil my plan and time spend with my parents. (Sorry, i just have to describe her as BITCH.) Dad will need to come over to my rented place to stay with me. Mum will need to stay at home to look after Hazel.

Oh... BEST PART IS..... becoz last thurs, being a greedy baby... who loves to munch on everything she sees.... Hazel swallowed a piece of plastic... she gotta be hospitalised to take it out. Over the weekend, which is Sunday, my brother's wife brought it up and scolded my mum's a murderer.... WOW... it's so unbelievable to hear that from her when my mum does her best to look after her baby everyday while she's away to work.

GoASH! it's really a horror to have such people staying under one roof with u. I dunno how's my brother gonna handle this. He better do something abt it, before his wife wants my mum or my dad out of the house too.

I m sharing with you guys so that we all can learn from this horrible girl... so that we will not behave like what she did.... And guys, please don't marry a trouble like her. I don't my brother is the luckiest man to marry her... instead, i think those men who ditch her is the luckiest man in the world!

I wrote this not to spoil her reputation... that's why no photos of her or her name was mentioned. Of coz, we have to hear from her side of her story... but just base on what she said and done... it's not really very nice of her.

SO let's all be nice to each other and be happy! :)

What's for dinner tonite?

2007-01-24T22:37:00.000+08:00

I cooked today.... It was alvin's 1st day of reservist.... thought of cooking a good dinner for him... Yah.... "What so great about his reservist!" haa haa.... Nah.... I was in the mood to cook too.... So I went to get ingredients from supermarket.... and went Ikea to get a wok! Haa haa... Yes.... moved in for so long and i haven't own a wok!

AND.... I cooked Char Kway Tiao... (Singapore Fried Noodles) without cockles.... Hey... Alvin enjoyed it... I m so glad despite that it was my first time cooking Char Kway Tiao. :)

Check this Out!

I think i better stop cooking such OILY food for alvin! I m feeding him FATS! And he will sure to put on more weight because of my cooking!!!! That's what happen when we were living in Australia!

A night with the animals.....

2007-01-24T21:57:00.000+08:00

Guess where we went to last weekend?????

NIGHT SAFARI! Before we went in to the safari... we had Bongo Burgers for dinner! I had Lamb burger and Alvin had beef burger.... It was the WORST burgers we ever had! Yucks! it taste horrible.... both lamb and beef patty in the burger has some kind of smell... and it's strong cow smell in the beef patty... and super strong lamb smell in the lamb patty.... burgers are dry... practically no sauce..... I think it only thing that's nice are the chips! YUCKS!

Here's some piz.... it wasn't well taken.... the place's dimly lighted! Being inside the safari was great! it was a nice walk.. and because it was a wet night... it was cooling.... it's an awesome cooling walk in the safari observing the animals with my hubby.

My KING's Birthday....

2007-01-17T23:15:00.000+08:00

It was my Dad's Birthday dinner at Aijisen Ramen.... My threat! Check out the piz! Don't ask me how old is he now.... completely lost track of his age! And i don't wanna know too... He's forever young to me... hee hee....

All BUSY eating.... Busy slurping...
My poor brother.... feeding his baby!
MUM (THE QUEEN).... i think too shy to smile at my camera! hee hee... So unfriendly!
See... my dad's more spotting! Guess how old is he?
"Why are u, adults, keeping flashing light on my face!"

While waiting for my mum and bro at the carpark... we start clicking on my Sony Ericsson! Taking more piz with my dad and hazel! Not easy to capture Hazel! she's always moving around or not looking at the camera!

NOT 100% well for a week already!

2007-01-12T22:29:00.000+08:00

It all started from sore throat last Thursday (4th Jan) morning.... But i choose to ignore the pain and went ahead with my favourite food - CRAB for dinner! After dinner, I was feeling alittle feverish.... and indeed... my body temperature went up! Took Anarex before bedtime. Next morning (Friday), I thought my fever's gone, so i went to work. In the afternoon, i feel feverish again... feeling so heavy... and decided to end my sales call slightly earlier than usual to see the doctor. I wasn't feeling good, i was so weak... I can't wait to rest on my bed! I have no choice but i have cancel my appointment with my friends - "Alison, Seb and Ken, I m so sorry!" I feel so bad... we haven't catch up with each other for a long time! Of coz, my fever gradually went off... but i started to cough!! And i have been coughing for the past week! GOASH! so irritating! But of coz, i was discipline... i learnt my lesson.. and I avoid COLD drinks!

Supposedly, we are to meet up today with Alison, Seb, Ken and Alvin.... it was cancelled! So guess wat! Alvin went to find his own activities! And i feel like just staying at home and cook my own dinner! Check this out!

"TA-TA!" Viet Rice paper roll! That's what i made for dinner! Not bad lar! hee hee....

My first "WOW" dish cooked...

2007-01-04T22:37:00.000+08:00

My first "WOW" dish cooked in this rented place on 2 pathetic hot plates.... hee heee.... CRABS!!!! YUMMY!!!

BUT because this is my very FIRST time cooking crab... I FORGOT to scrub away the SOIL!!! SO DUMB DUMB! But i learnt! BUT hey, Alvin say it's well cook OK! Oh... I didn't kill it myself... we get the people at carrefour to kill and chop for us... I wouldn't do such cruel act! hee hee.... Just showing off my crabs! hee hee.....

Dairy of my last 2 weeks of 2006...

2007-01-03T22:34:00.000+08:00

18th Dec 2006 (Monday) - 2nd last day of work for the year...Was shopping at Takashimaya in the evening for Xmas presents for friends... And last mintue, i tried my luck to ask Jean, Jasmine and Yunxian out for dinner... AND THANK GOD, being so busy ususally, Jean managed to meet us for dinner.... Yunxian was nearby and she agreed too, Jasmine was busy at work, so i "forced" her to meet us for awhile after work... so that i can pass her her xmas pressie! was a great nite with them! OH... it's Dawn's birthday.... Hope she likes my present mailed to her to Brisy!

19th Dec 2006 (Tuesday) - last day of work for the year.... Gave Xmas pressies to my colleagues... took some funny pix in office... Went back to CCK for my parents... and went to Sengkang for Dinner at Alvin's place. We went back early coz we planned to go JB the next day..

20th Dec 2006 (Wednesday)- My 1st day of leave starts... Alvin's on leave too! We went JB, Tebrau City, to shop... BUT becoz of the heavy rain a few days ago.... their power supply system screwed up... and the whole shopping mall was closed! DARN! it was abt RM$20 cab fare to get there.... plus some jam on the road! And abt RM$20 back to CITY SQUARE! DARN!!! So finally, we shop in City Square... and even watched a movie, Gridiron Gang- coming soon in Singapore, for only S$3 each of us! We had jap food at City Square... It was not bad... Both of us love jap food, esp. sashimi.. Yummy! We went back not very late.... coz we are heading to Batam the next morning....

21st and 23rd Dec 2006 (Thursday to Saturday) - We went Batam for 2 nights... Spent alot on this trip on FOOD and SPA... just expenses alone in Holiday Inn is already S$300++. Holiday Inn is our resort for a short getaway.... good service, some of the staffs recognise us as their regular guest... We feel good!

24th Dec 2006 (Sunday) - It's Xmas Eve!!!! Guess wat! We went to the Zoo in the day.... Weather wasn't really friendly that day... but thank god, that it was only drizzling.

And in the evening... we went Jack's Place for dinner.... :p it was a 4 course main...Prawn and Salmon Salad, Soup, Steak as main dish, ice-cream log cake as dessert. And we ordered an extra half dozen oyster! Yummy! And we didn't really hang around Orchard Road... becoz there's heaps of ppl... So we went back to our "love Hut".

25th Dec 2006 (Monday) - It's XMAS! Didn't go anyway... coz Alvin gotta work the next day.... so we decided to cook at home... for the first time ever since we rented this place. We had Prawn salad, Pasta with Pesto sause (i cooked that!) and roasted pork knuckle.

26th to 30th Dec 2006 (Tuesday to Saturday) - I thought i would be shopping till i drop this whole week.... But i don't have the mood to do it.... Funny! instead... almost everyday, i went back to CCK to be with my parents. My brother's on annual leave too.... feel so good to spend those few afternoons with my dad, mum and brother and my little niece - Hazel! And yes, she knows how to say her name! COOL! She's 1 now! On the 29th Dec 2006, i met up with my girlfriends for dinner.... a surprise birthday bash for Jannie... see my blog below 3 HOURS OF SLEEP for our pix!

31st Dec 2006 (Sunday) - We did nothing fantastic on new year's eve! sigh... nothing to celebrate... why are we celebrating new year? Everyone's getting old, more responsibilities... so sad. We watched A Night at the Museum and we went back home slightly before the midnight... So pactically, we were counting down at home! haa haa.... We were back early mainly becoz we need to leave for BATAM the next morning. "YES, BATAM again!" haa haa... tha'ts Alvin's idea!

1st and 2nd Dec 2007 (Monday and Tuesday) - We were in Holiday Inn for 1 day, 1 night. Again, we spend abt s$200 there! On food, massage and facial for me. :) Spending too much this holiday... gotta go back to work to earn more money!

Typically, for the last 3 years this time of the year, i stayed at home with parents, do alittle spring cleaning of my room, laze around in the day and out for dinner with either alvin or friends. Well, although this year's long annual leave is different from the previous years, it was well spent...

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!

3 hrs of Sleep....

2006-12-31T04:35:00.000+08:00

I was out with my girlfriends the whole nite til 3+am on Friday nite! And I only had 3 hours of sleep, or maybe u can say nap, before i have to wake up for work next morning (Saturday- only work till 12:30pm). At work, i was like a zombie... but anyway, there's nothing much to do in the office alone!

We were giving a birthday surprise for Jannie at Sizzling Rock (Boat Quay)... Lovely and romantic environment to dine in... But was "destroyed" by the group of noisy, Gela (crazy) girls- THAT'S US! hee hee.... After the dinner, we proceed to Party World for KTV till 3am! We had fun taking funny piz.... chatting, racking out our secondary school days, had a little birthday celebration for Jannie, sing KTV... and we ended our gathering with a FUN RIDE back home by Jannie in her VAN! ALL 9 of us was like illegal immigrant... seated at the back of the van (mind u... No proper seats, not seat belts K!) so when Jannie starts to brake or turn.... All of us was like !#$%^&*! Hee heee.... it wasn't swearing... it was FUN... so fun that dunno how to describe in words.... Hee hee..... WE took some piz from our Sony Ericsson K800i in the van, outa 9, 6 of us has got K800i.... so there's flashes all over! Have a look at the piz and enjoy! I din manage to upload the pix taken in the van... due to tech problem between my laptop and the fone... SIGH... But over all it a great fone! SO much better then my previous o2 XphoneII.

Our Wedding Photos

2006-12-26T14:21:00.000+08:00

Hey.. finally I've loaded some of our wedding photos on OUR blog. Go and take a look. Just Click on the link or go to the side bar and click on our pix. Happy viewing...

Short update... as requested by KEN!

2006-12-18T00:51:00.000+08:00

Hey Ken... Because of u i m writing this...

Well, I tried to upload some piz taken on my wedding day... but i got problem uploading... so i gave up.... I will only take my time to upload during my annual leave...

YES, as usual, i will be clearing my leave from this Wednesday and all the way to 1st working day of 2007. Geee... almost 1.5 weeks! But i gotta go back to work on 30th Dec for half day... Sigh...

Many of u were asking... SO WHERE'S the destination of my HONEYMOON???? to be frank, we haven't really have a destination yet.... But i believe every trip that we went is HONEYMOON to us... :) Even to batam.... So long we are together... Well, u can put it this way, every minute when we are together alone is honeymoon to us. In fact, those 1.5 years spend in Australia together is the BEST honeymoon!

This coming Wednesday, we will take a super short trip to BATAM again... This time, we gonna spend a lot more on SPA and Food!

How marriage life? Well, nothing different from those days that we spent in Australia... Except that, I gotta share a bed with another man, share the same wardrobe with him.... That's the different... No cold winters, No super HOT summers, No autumn and No Spring... No Exams too! Heee heee.... Well, i m still me.... still hanging out with friends.... just that instead of arranging to meet alvin, I gotta arrange to meet Mum and dad.... kinda weird...

Something "freaky" to share with u.... last friday, i was at singtel and Alvin's at next door hair salon. I was choosing between N73 and K800i, i couldn't decide... i sense that alvin's at the door at Singtel and i turn around and there he is, walking towards me... That's freaky... I can sense HIM....

Finally, i decided to get Sony Ericsson K800i, I m still exploring this phone and trying to utilized the applications in this phone. COOL phone... But a little bulky... With darn good camera! My friends were holding this phone - Jialin, cuiyi and steph.... And they gave me a crash course when we happen to meet each other at bugis in a restaurant... What a coincidences! Jialin got a nice white bag from Outfitter for $15! And I went to get it that nite! COOL! And all 3 of them were wearing the same watch... and that's the watch that I almost wanted to buy when I saw it at Cineleisure. WHAT A COINCIDENCE!

I will miss my O2 XphoneII.... will be keeping it.... despite that it broke down due to my negligence. It falled into a pool of water in the sink when I was making up in the toilet.

OKIE... will upload my wedding pix when I have more time.

CHEERS!

Back in at my parent's place for dinner today and finally i have access to internet. Haven't got the internet connection set up at my rented place... will do it one of these days. :) Life without WWW is so boring.... Will update my blog once i've got the connection and when i m avaliable!

Wedding's over.... it feels like dreaming.... Both Alvin and i, couldn't believe that we are married and we are now husband and wife... When we woke up the next morning, we looked at each other with a dreamy look... and feels as if we had a wonderful dream! that morning, i started to miss my parents and i cried. My poor boy tried so hard to make me more comfortable...

OK... Will write more once i got my internet set up.... Cheers....

Call me MRS tmr!!!

2006-11-24T22:59:00.000+08:00

Wanna know how i m feeling now on the eve of my wedding day? hmmm..... not really excited... just that i m sure at the end of the day my mouth will be so tired.... coz i m sure i gotta smile the whole day! Already during my half day photo shoot, my mouth's pretty tired of smiling at the end of the day. :)

Anyway, everything's planned out and it's all ready for action. That will leave it to Alvin and our coordinators - Jason, Dennis, Jasmine and Yunxian.

Will miss my dad, Mum and Brother.... will miss the privilege of being chauffeured to the MRT every morning by dad.

Anyway, i just want to get it over and done with.... so that I can take a good rest.... and rebond my hair... hee hee....

I believe it's gonna turn out well tmr with all my good team of helpers.... that includes my ex-boss, Daniel, being my photographer for the whole day. :p

OKie.... this is my last blog as Miss Pang. Well, it's kinda weird to be called Mrs Koh... and after tmr, any forms that i fill in... martial status will be Married, instead of Single. Gosh.... can't believe i am going thru all these.

Okie.. gotta catch my beauty sleep.... preparing to look fresh tmr! Cheers...

Miss me?

2006-11-15T22:46:00.000+08:00

Finally, I have a bit of time to update my whereabouts... :) My apologies... I guess, I should be back to my normal lifestyle after my wedding on the 25th Nov 2006... which is SOON!! NEXT Saturday! And i can't wait to reborn my hair!!! I have been spending so much time in the morning to get it straight! I want to sleep more!!!!

I've been busy with my guest list... writing, pasting, tying ribbon and sending out invitation cards. Following up with friends and relatives... blah blah blah... Getting my attendance list ready... And besides these, gotta do some troublesome Chinese custom thingie.... Goash! I can't believe i m doing all these.... I really hope that it's over soon! Thank god, i m blessed with some friends like Yunxian and Jasmine who are so generous with their time to help me with the event.... THANKS GERS! Really feel so bad to exploit u!

Recently, i m also glued to this Korean Drama Series - PRINCESS HOURS. I got the DVD and as and when i m free, i will play it! It's a great drama! I reckon! That's also why i m not active here in the blog. I m finishing it... so i will have time here. :) It's so unlike me to glued to such drama! But it's really nice!

Getting ready for the BIG day to come... It's end of the YEAR! As usual, i m clearing my annual leaves... Will be on leave for a week in Nov ( that includes my 3 days marriage leave) and on the last week of the year! Can't wait for this long rest!

A few more weeks to the wedding....

2006-10-30T00:13:00.000+08:00

Many people ask me... Am I excited with my wedding? Another few more weeks to go! Frankly, I m not really stress about it, I can't wait to get over it.... so that i can rebond me hair.... ERGH! I can't stand my hair... spending so much time styling my hair before i step outa my house. :p Ok.. I m vain... And i can do all my outdoor activities.... Now i can't get outa sun and play, gotta "preserve" my fairness.. and making sure i don't get hurt. ERGH.... I can't wait for my Puala Ubin trip in dec with my friends after my wedding.. haa haa.... So much of restrictions that i can't wait to get over it.

Although, on the 25th Nov 2006 marks the new beginning of our future... both Alvin and I were not really stress about the event on that day.... it's just a day to celebrate our new beginning with our friends and relatives... wat matters is how we spend our future together. BUT we try to make that day as memorable as possible for our guests. Of coz we can't do it alone... thanks to our friends.... Jason, Dennis, Yunxian and Jasmine, they volunteer their precious time for us to work together to make this event successful. "Hey boys and gers, we will try not to get too stress out with that day! K!" What excites me is solemnizing with the beautiful sunset! Being a mother nature lover, i hope it's a very beautiful moment. I really hope that all my guests will love it. I know it's kinda far, but hey, we need to get away from the city in order to have an excellent view of the sunset huh! :p Really really, hope that all my guests will enjoy the beautiful sight of mother nature!

Mix Feelings...

2006-10-24T23:14:00.000+08:00

I have been happily spending my weekend with Alvin at Commonwealth despite of the environment full of roaches! haa haa.... Gee.... Saw 2 roaches in my kitchen ever since i shifted in... HEY HEY... I swear my kitchen is damn clean... (i'm a clean freak, K! :p) Just dunno why i can find roaches... I've already sealed up the rubbish shoot and left poison baits for the roaches... THANK GOD, both occasions Alvin's present... and he's my pest buster! hee hee... The only reason is that we are staying on the 3rd floor. SIGH.... I swear i m going to get a high floor when i next rent another house. Thank god, my house in Punggol's 2nd last floor - 15th Floor! I m so used to stay on high floor... In Telok Blangah Rise, I was on the 16th and now I m on the 19th... so staying on the 3rd is kinda funny for me. It's a total different experience for me. Put aside the fact that i stayed on ground floor in Australia...

OK OK... that's not what i m trying to express here. Yes, i was really happy living with Alvin in Commonwealth over the weekends.... but i was sad to leave my parents. I missed them.... And when i go back to Choa Chu Kang where my parents are... I was like dragging myself, coz i feel so uncomfy meeting my sis-in-law in the house. The tumor is there since after she picked on me twice on separate occasion for no good reasons... maybe she's observing my actions.... little actions like dropping the shoes to wear, she noted and commented that I m throwing my shoes on the floor to show my anger... which is not the fact. SIGH... in other words, I m scare to face her. I dunno what pleases her and what not. I hate that kinda feeling.. and I never feel that way before... I m usually very happy with people around me! SIGH...

It's exactly 1 mth to alvin and my big day... preparation is under control... wasn't really stressing on it... simply becoz we don't really care and we have no high expectation on it. Of coz we will do our best to make our guests feel comfortable on that day. To us, that day's not really important, it's just a day for us to celebrate together with our friends and relatives, what's more important is how our future's gonna be like. I can't wait to get over and done with it. haa haa... so that i can rebond my hair... hee hee.... I have been spending so much of time styling my hair in the morning... haa haa.... VAIN... :)

Alrighty... just wanna write out my mix feeling... nothing much... :p

Trouble with my rented house!

2006-10-19T23:40:00.000+08:00

Not only power supply's bill not settled... last weekend, we got a letter from lawyer stuffed underneath the door. We got curious, and we tried to look through the envelope under a strong light to see what happen! And guess what... it's about the property! MY dear owner has not been prompt in paying loans!!! GOASH! this got us panic! We try to contact her, I try to arrange with her to meet up so that i can pass this letter to her and she can pass me the letter box key. Finally, last minute, she says she's too busy to meet.

According to my friend who's working in the law firm, after receiving this letter and no action is taken by the owner, they will paste a letter of summon at the door... and that's a stage when we will be seriously panic! And it could be end of this month if she refuse to pay.

Best part is.... We've paid the rental for the mth Nov and 1 mth of deposit. If she breach the contract, she will need to pay us the money... But now that she has got problem paying the bank, i doubt she will have money to pay us back This issue was raised to my agent and she will try to get her to settle part of the issue and at least allow us to stay in the house till end Nov after our wedding.

I m praying everyday that i don't see that letter of summon outside my door. This dear owner of ours is really hopeless... Although she's very nice... but i feel that she's not responsible. I wouldn't want to have any contact with her. What a nasty horrible experience! I thank god that i m being blessed with many friends who are able to advise me. that's Jannie, Jasmine and Shirley. :)

Back as per requested....

2006-10-12T22:38:00.000+08:00

Hi hi... i know it has been quite a while since my last entry. I was just lazy.... as motivated by David and Sam.... I m back again to update abt my whereabts! hmmm.... where can i start?

About movies, I've caught IMAGINE U AND ME AND U, ME and DUPREE... what else? can't recall... but that's what Alvin and I watched over the last 2 weekends. My favorites IMAGINE U AND ME..... It nice.... Piper Perabo's a babe.... I enjoy admiring her throughout the whole movie... gee... sometimes, i wonder, am i a lesbian? Opps! Alvin! U, ME and DUPREE was very funny! Worth watch them!

Alvin and I have been staying over at Commonwealth for the past 4 weekends. It was fun... it feels like days in Australia. But of coz, houses in Australia's bigger, we've got a car to drive and parked in the garage, bigger kitchen with better cookwares, like fire stove and oven (better for me to cook!), bigger rooms, bigger bathroom with a separate DRY toilet. SIGH... those were the days.... Over in Commonwealth... it's totally opposite. Smaller kitchen with only 2 pathetic electric stove, small bathroom with attached toilet (so toilet will get wet after we bath!), scenery outside the window sucks... (can even see the neighbor at the opposite block!) YAH YAH... i know, so much of complaints.... why did i choose that unit huh!? Mainly because this was the first time we rent a place in singapore... there's no expectations and we are so tired of going around looking for houses and this happens to have a very good interior design considering that it's in an old estate. And also, i know i m comparing with the house in Australia... HOW CAN I!? I deserve a slap! "WAKE UP, LIZZIE!" hee hee.... Alright... I shan't compare with the house in Australia. I hope once i lived in there permanently, I should be able to get used to it. And with this unit, we learnt alot... and definitely, if we were to shift out of this unit, we will definitely get a better unit. (before our unit at Punggol's ready in 2009... Sigh... still a long long way!) Anyway, i have this strong gut feel that we might shift out soon after our wedding.... Owner's not very responsible... maybe becoz she's young (my age!). Guess wat, she hasn't pay the power supply bill for months (charges are before alvin and i moved in). It was $250 plus in a RED reminder letter dated on 4th Oct 2006. I believe, she hasn't pay for the bill for at least 4 mths! And best, she's not in singapore now till 15th Oct! What if the power's being cut off!!!! ERGH! We leave it to the agent to settle with her. And also she didn't pass us the letterbox key, the power supply bill was spotted when i peep into the letterbox and I decided to dig it out, so that we can pay the bill if it's ours. SIGH...

But of coz despite of the above complaints, Alvin has made my stay in Commonwealth happy every weekend. Everyday, i m looking forward to the weekends to spend with him. And I m sure i will get used to it.. :) Maybe, i never stayed in such small units before... OK! I know i m pampered! hee hee.... pardon my complaints... Opps!

It's abt 1.5mths away from our BIG day... everything shld be in well control... those who are coming to join us in the celebration in Nov... just enjoy the lovely sunset at Raffles Marina, enjoy the chinese 10 course dinner and the company of the "sweet and nice" bride and groom... "Hurmp..." hee hee.... Of coz, we have thank our coordinators for volunteering to help us with the celebration. that's Dennis, Bong, Yunxian, Jasmine, Yexuan.... etc. Thank you first!

Over the weekends, for the past 1 mth, we have been shopping for stuffs for the house.... Gee... i feel like auntie... or better description, like those days in Australia.... Hardly shop for clothes, makeups and some other chix stuffs. I hope these dayz will be over real soon and I shall be back to my normal chix's life shopping for chix stuffs... hee hee....

OK OK... Kinda long huh! till then, cya!

Cheers!

2006-09-10T22:50:00.000+08:00

Hey hey..... just a short update abt my whereabouts...

Alvin and I found a place at Commonwealth... we rented it and we have been pretty busy with setting up this place. It's tiring!!!

Commonwealth is a pretty old estate.... with old hawker centre just 2 mins walk away from my block. OLD but food is good and cheap!!! For example... Fishball noodles at $2... and it can make me FULL. No second helping! Was having our dinners at the hawker centre for 2 nites, gee... i feel as if i was living 12 years back.... old shop houses, cheap food, yet to renovate hawker centre, and every stalls has got their retro-looking sign board, some beverage stalls are playing retro songs that i heard 12 yrs back when i was still in secondary school. it feels as if i m living in the past... it's COOL!!!!

We are too exhausted with shifting stuffs to the place.... will update more on the blog later!

Updates about our new love hut... go to our blog.

Steve Irwin Died while diving off Port Douglas

2006-09-04T22:25:00.000+08:00

Extract from ABC News

Last Update: Monday, September 4, 2006. 5:56pm (AEST)

Steve Irwin died while diving off Port Douglas today

Irwin died 'doing what he loved best'

The documentary producer working with Steve Irwin when he died in far north Queensland today has told of the naturalist and television star's last moments.

Police say the 44-year-old died when he was stung through the chest by a stingray while diving off Port Douglas.

John Stainton says the fatal incident was unprovoked.

He says the wildlife expert and a cameraman were snorkelling across Batt Reef in shallow water at about 11:00 am AEST.

Mr Stainton says the cameraman was initially unaware of the fatal sting.

"He [Irwin] just swum over the top of the ray and the barb came up and hit him," he said.

"The cameraman said at the time he didn't even know that it had hit him [Irwin] and then he saw blood in the water."

Mr Stainton says Irwin died doing what he loved best.

"Today the world has lost a great wildlife icon, a passionate conservationist and one of the proudest dads on the planet," he said.

"He left this world in a peaceful and happy state of mind. He would have said, 'Croc's rule'."

Police say a post-mortem examination will be conducted on Irwin's body this evening.

Irwin was born in Victoria in 1962.

His father was a keen reptile enthusiast and moved the family to Queensland in 1970 to open a small reptile park on the Sunshine Coast.

In 1991, Irwin took over the family business and a year later launched his Crocodile Hunter television program, which turned him into a household name in the US.

Irwin is survived by his wife Terri and two children.

'Huge loss'
Politicians and the tourism industry have paid tribute to Irwin.

Prime Minister John Howard says Irwin's death is a "huge loss" for the nation.

"He was the genuine article, what you saw was what you got, he took risks, he enjoyed life, but he brought immense joy to millions of people, particularly to children, and it's just such a terrible loss and I feel very distressed and I'm quite upset," he said.

His death is featuring in news coverage around the world.

The BBC and CNN are including it in their news bulletins.

The story is also being carried on websites from New Zealand to Britain and the United States.

One of Irwin's biggest critics has remembered the television star as an Australian icon who will be sadly missed.

Director of Crocodylus Park Graeme Webb says despite them being at loggerheads over crocodile safari hunting, Irwin's legacy will live on.

"He was a champion for crocodile conservation. He should be able to rest assured that crocodiles will be conserved long after he's gone and he's contributed to that process, so I guess that's my main memory of him," he said.

Locals pay their respects
Locals have laid flowers at the entrance to Irwin's Australia Zoo on the Sunshine Coast as a mark of respect.

Many have described him as a great adventurer and Australian who lived life to the fullest.

Those that live near the zoo say Irwin helped put the Sunshine Coast on the map.

A statement from Australia Zoo describes him as a great wildlife icon, a passionate conservationist and one of the proudest dads on the planet.

THAI COUNTRY-STYLE STEAMED FISH IN GARLIC LIME SAUCE

2006-08-13T23:23:00.000+08:00

THAI COUNTRY-STYLE STEAMED FISH IN GARLIC LIME SAUCE

Recipe By : Joyce Jue

Serving Size : 4

Ingredient

1 pound whole fish -- trout sea bass, perc

4 fresh green chiles -- diced

6 cloves garlic -- chopped

2 tablespoons Thai fish sauce (nam pla)

4 tablespoons lime juice

1/2 cup chicken stock

2 green onions -- cut in half lengthwise

2 stalks lemon grass -- (heart section only)

Cilantro springs -- for garnish

Scale and clean fish, then rinse with cold water.

Pat dry with paper towels.

Make diagonal slashes (almost to the bone) 2 inches apart on both sides of fish.

Set fish on a heat-proof plate that is at least 1 inch smaller in diameter than your wok .

Mix together chiles, garlic, fish sauce, lime juice and chicken stock.

Adjust for a predominantly sour taste. Pour over fish.

Scatter green onions and lemon grass over fish.

Fill wok with 2 inches of boiling water. When it comes to a full boil, set fish plate on rack or trivet. Cover tightly. Reduce heat to medium-high and steam for 12 minutes. If meat by the bone is opaque white, fish is done. Garnish fish with cilantro and serve with cooking juices. Accompany with steamed rice. Serves 4 with other entrees.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

NOTES : Thai cooks use an oval, metal pedestal plate, which comfortably holds whole small fish weighing from one to 1 1/2 pounds. In the American kitchen you can use a heat-proof glass pie plate or a shallow bowl that is at least one inch smaller in diameter than your steamer. A 14-inch wok with a dome- shaped cover makes a perfect steamer when fitted with a Chinese steaming rack, a 12-inch round cake-cooling rack or a two- inch-high trivet to support the pie plate or bowl. An alternative is to use an ob long Dutch oven for steaming, and an oblong plate for the fish. For the following recipe, use whole trout, sea bass, perch or red snapper. If whole fish are not available, fish steaks and fillets are convenient and just as delicious.

NEW background Music Uploaded!!

2006-08-09T00:23:00.000+08:00

Hurray!! After so long, i managed to upload MP3 as my blog's background music! It's Sway (OST of American Pie), sang by Bic Runga. She's a New Zealander! I love this style of music, hope u do like it too! ENJOY!!!

Here's the Lyrics:

Artist: Bic Runga

LyricsSong: Sway

Don't stray, don't ever go away

I should be much too smart for this

You know it gets the better of me

Sometimes, when you and I collide

I fall into an ocean of you, pull me out in time

Don't let me drown, let me down

I say it's all because of you

And here I go, losing my control

I'm practicing your name so I can say it to your face

It doesn't seem right, to look you in the eye

Let all the things you mean to me

Come tumbling out my mouth

Indeed it's time to tell you why

I say it's infinitely true

[CHORUS:]

Say you'll stay, don't come and go

Like you do

Sway my way, yeah I need to know

All about you

And there's no cure, and no way to be sure

Why everything's turned inside out

Instilling so much doubt It makes me so tired - I feel so uninspired

My head is battling with my heart

My logic has been torn apart

And now it all turns sour

Come sweeten every afternoon

[CHORUS TWICE]

It's all because of you

Now it all turns sour, come sweeten every afternoon

It's time to tell you why, I say it's infinitely true

[CHORUS TWICE]

It's all because of you

Hey... received this from Singapore International Foundation's email... i think it's good... therefore, would like to share this happiness with everyone...

THE 7 C's of HAPPINESS
By Lloyd J. Thomas, Ph.D.

What are the critical ingredients for experiencing genuine happiness? Here are seven elements of life that I believe are essential to the attainment of human happiness. I call them the "7 C's in the pursuit of happiness." One is not more important than any of the others.

1) Compassion. In order to evolve into a state of happiness, you must develop your in-born ability to care about life, to value life in all its forms, to engage in loving, kind actions, to cultivate an attitude of what Nobel laureate, Dr. Albert Schweitzer called "reverence for life," (including your own).

2) Contentment. Inner calm and peace of mind and heart does not mean acceptance of everything that happens. It does mean letting go of fear. When you live life fearlessly, you experience a kind of peace that permeates every cell of your body, every thought of your mind, every emotion of your heart, every element of your spirit.

3) Connection. Without effectively connecting to other humans, you become less than human yourself. Connection means involving yourself in relationship to everyone around you, connecting to your own inner life, and becoming aware of the environment in which you live. Learn to create high-quality relationships, and your happiness is almost guaranteed.

4) Communication. Communication is our primary method for connection. It increases your knowledge, your understanding, and your awareness. Language is precious. Words are the building blocks of all happiness.

5) Commitment. Oprah Winfrey says that what motivates her to get up in the morning is "my commitment to my life and fulfilling my life purpose." If one of your life's purposes is to enhance your happiness, committing your life to the service of others brings more happiness than you can imagine. Happiness requires you commit yourself to something larger than yourself.

6) Consciousness. Most spiritual teachers believe we are living in a sleep-like or dream state. In order to be happy, one must increase one's awareness of life. And the single awareness that is most conducive to happiness is: the impermanence of everything. Life is in a constant state of flux, of change, of rhythm and of evolution.

7) Creativity. Creating your life experience by consciously choosing your thoughts, your actions, your decisions and your attitudes will allow you to attain personal happiness regardless of external circumstances.

The pursuit of happiness is not something you search for or attain from outside your skin. Happiness develops from within. You were born to be happy. You were given life to experience happiness. Pursuing it is your right. Sail the 7 C's of happiness and the pursuit of it becomes obvious and being alive becomes the happiest of moments.

Bangkok and Batam

BANGKOK

BANGKOK is darn good! And I definately will go back again if budget airways has got extremely good promotion! But, I've got bad experience even before I landed in BANGKOK! it was my fault actually.... I brought a Swiss Army knife... I got it from NZ. I love it so much! it's very nice, made of steel! I forgot that I have it in my bag, and I didn't check in my luggage. And when I enter the departure gate, it was spotted by the immigration officer and it's confiscated by them... and I beg and think of ways to get it back, i suggest to mail it back to my home or left it at the lost and found counter... but neither ways works. I was so sad! And I even went to the Swissport to ask for it when i got back from Thailand. Sigh.... Actually, this Swiss Army knife was suppose to be a gift for my ex-boyfriend, who was my boyfriend then when i went to NZ. But i love it so much that I decided not to give him. And today, i lost it to the airport... SIGH, when it's not meant to be mine, it not.... :(

When we reached Bangkok on Friday evening, I check in and realised that we don't get the new and renovated room that we arranged. We tried so hard to get it... but failed... so we just accepted it. That's minor... anyway, we are out 90% of the time, and when we are back, we will be too tired to bother how posh or bad the room is.... just hope that the room's not "dirty". :p We stayed in FRIST HOTEL at Pratunam. When we reached Bangkok it's very late and everything was closed. We went out to look for food, all we can find is Burger King and street food. I was reluctant to eat Burgers in BANGKOK and I was weary to eat street food, but it looks DARN good! But i m so afraid that I might have food poisoning after eating those food. So finally, we went back to hotel to eat local food! TOM YAM, MANGO SALAD.... etc... yummy!!!

The next day (my birthday), we went to Chatuchak Market! It was DARN HUGE!!!! And we briefly shop around... thank god, my friend, Reema, just got back from there and got me the map of Chatuchak and so we are not lost. We took a cab there... AND my GOODNESS, it's SO SO cheap!!! And yah, gee.... ALL CABs there IN bangkok are Toyota Altis!!! It's indeed MADE IN THAILAND! haa haaa..... And we took MRT back to hotel. That night we went to watch THAI Girls show in some dodgy place in Patpong. so Boring and not worth the money and time! I don't reckon! And after the show we went Suan Lum Night Bazzar! Both of us, love this place... it reminds me of the night market at Cairns!!! it's much better then Chatuchak.. more organised and not so HOT, maybe because it's in the evening. I managed to eat local food there!GOASH!! thumbs up for the food there!!!! We had a great feast there!!!! SPICY AND SOUR!!! GOOD!!!!

At Chachuchat Shopping, Lunch (Beef Noodles, Sotong Rice with Fried Egg and Tom Yam noodles). Went Suan Lum Night Bazzar for Shopping again and DINNER (Tom Yam soup, Sotong Salad, Mango Salad, BBQ BIG prawns, chicken rice, thai fish balls, BBQ sotong and Steam thai Sea Bass) YUMMY!!!!!

Second day, we went to Platinum Fashion Mall.. it's where they sell almost everything at warehouse price! We bought heaps of things! And for dinner, we walk from Pratunam to HRC at Siam Square. It was a LONG walk... we ask around and thought that it was nearby! After dinner at HRC, we went back to Suan Lum Night Bazzar again to continue our shopping!!! Gee.... walking the WHOLE DAY!!!

At The Platinum Fashion Mall for Lunch (Had thai beef noodles, Sharkfin and bird's nest. Then went to HRC for dinner)

Finally, on Monday, we didn't do much... we gotta to be at Airport in the afternoon... so we check out and leave.

We didn't take much pic of ourselve, purely becoz, we look so tired and we didn't dare to ask ppl from the street to take for us.... u never know they run away with my precious camera!

BATAM

Nothing to decide about this trip... we were there to relax, use their facilities like gym, swimming pool, Jacuzzi and massage. It was a 1 day getaway... coz i was give a voucher from Hotel for a special room rate. So just there to utilised this voucher!

2006-08-06T22:19:00.000+08:00

Brainless-Girlie Movies over the weekends...

2006-06-18T17:39:00.000+08:00

Last 2 weekends, I watched 2 movies - She's the Man AND Just my Luck. Pretty girlie movies...

SHE'S THE MAN (click here to the movie's official website)
I missed the first half hour of the show.... Thanks to Alvin... Not becoz he's late for our appointment. It's all becoz of his BLURNESS... It was indeed very funny...

He got the tix online... we were on time when we reached Orchard Cinileisure. Queued up to collect the tix. The counter can't locate our tix with his credit card. So he gave the booking number.... Unfortunately, that terminal was HANGED! We were being directed to the other terminate. Queued up (running a few minutes late for the movie!!!) same thing, gave them Alvin's credit card... CAN'T located the reservation made... and gave them the booking number, it hanged the system.... AND REALISED that the movie's not the Orchard Cinileisure... it's actually at THE CATHEY (Formerly known as THE PICTUREHOUSE). OK Nevermind, we took a bus (5mins ride) to THE CATHEY. By then we are kinda late for the movie. Ran to the counter, collected our tix and went in to the theater... REALIZED that someone's at our seat!! They are holding the same tix as us!!! SAME SEAT NUMBER, SAME SHOW!!!! OK nevermind, we went to seat somewhere. Thank god, the theater wasn't full... After the movie.... the couple came to us and ask whether to ask the counter what happen... why we were holding the same tix. That that moment, I was like.... "GOOD!!! MAYBE WE CAN GET COMPLIMENTARY TICKETS!!!" So i went to the counter... Seriously ask why this happens and what's the ciniplex's protocol to compensate the patrons. NOT LONG, after they studied the 2 tix and realised that
Alvin and my tix are dated on SUNDAY at 11:35pm. (NOT SATURDAY!!) And we apologised and we were so embarrassed....

To summerised, Alvin made 4 inconvenience that night!!!
1. We went to the wrong cinema.
2. He hanged 2 terminals, delay the people queuing behind us.
3. Disturb the couple from the show who thought the management screws up.
4. Embarrassed myself to ask for compensation from the cinema.

ALVIN!!!! My silly blur boy!!!!

It was pretty funny and embarrassing!!! We were laughing abt it the whole night!!! haa haaa.....

Anyway the movie's about...

When a teenage girl, Viola, discovers that her soccer team has been cut from her school, she disguises herself as her twin brother and takes his place at his new boarding school for two weeks. Comedy ensues when she falls in love with her new roommate, Duke, and finds herself the object of affection of the beautiful Olivia, the girl whom Duke loves. Things get even more complicated when her twin brother, Sebastian, finally turns up.

JUST MY LUCK (Click here for the movie's official website)

It was not too bad!!! hmmm... can watch for fun!!! Some brainless movie, i can say...

About the movie:
Ashley Albright (LINDSAY LOHAN) is the luckiest woman in the world, a person to whom all the good things in life have come far too easily. Jake (CHRIS PINE), on the other hand, is a bad luck magnet. On this night when dreams can be made or broken, fate brings Ashley and Jake together on the dance floor. Instantly taken with one another, they share an electrifyingly kiss and with that one kiss, their luck switches places. Suddenly, Ashley's dress rips. Her heel breaks. Her good luck seems to have finally run out. Jake, in his rush to catch Phillips before he leaves, ends up saving the record mogul's life and earning with that one simple twist of fate, the chance to make all his dreams come true. As Ashley desperately races to regain the luck she blithely took for granted, she begins to see that it's not so much having good luck but what you do with it that counts, and that her greatest chance of redemption lies with the guy who holds the key to her sudden change of fate.

Devil's Day... 6th June 2006

2006-06-06T22:25:00.000+08:00

One fine day, i was sitting in the bus with Dawn... she took a nap during the journey and i was bored, i was watch TVmobile in the bus. Saw THE OMEN's Trailer.... and at the end of the trailer is a contest that only required me to sms my details to them... so outa boredom, I sms and I WON a pair of tix to the preview of the movie!!!!

Alvin and I went to watch THE OMEN last night after work! Well, it's free... why not? haa haa... it's eve of opening. Well, it's open today on the 6th Jun 2006. Believe to be not a good day... triple 6 represents devil in the bible.

Well, this movie's not as scary as Exorcist... but it's not a bad movie to watch.

Synopsis:
Many believe the prophecy from the Book of Revelation provides a map to a terrifying future or it presents fragments of history that have come to life in our time. The signs, they claim, are all around us: terrorist attacks, extreme weather the list goes on. The passage specifically points to the arrival of the Anti-Christ, who is branded with the numerical sequence 666: the mark of the Beast. The Anti-Christ will receive his power directly from Satan to establish a counterfeit kingdom on earth, signaling the beginning of Armageddon...

Robert Thorn is unaware of such dark prophecies. Thorn, a senior American diplomat, has other things on his mind. His wife, Katherine, has endured a difficult delivery and she's as yet unaware their newborn child has died. Devastated by the loss, Thorn's concern turns to Katherine, who had suffered two previous miscarriages. The news will surely devastate her. The hospital priest, Father Spiletto, presents Thorn with another child born that night, whose mother died in childbirth. The priest compels Thorn to take the infant boy as his own; Katherine will never know the truth, and their son, which they name Damien, will be raised as their flesh and blood. Katherine embraces the child as her own, blossoming in motherhood; Thorn, it would seem, has made the right choice. Thorn's career ascends he becomes the U.S. ambassador to Great Britain and the family settles into an estate outside London. But certain events, all seeming to revolve around the now five-year-old Damien, are deeply disturbing: Damien's nanny hangs herself at the youngster's birthday party; a strange priest brings dire warnings to Thorn; a children's trip to the zoo results in a panicked frenzy; Damien becomes hysterical during a drive to church; and blurred movements in a series of photographs portend shocking deaths. The troubling incidents multiply, pointing to something wrong terribly wrong with Damien. Enter Mrs. Baylock, Damien's new nanny, who seems to have a preordained devotion to the child. Then tragedy strikes closer to home. But only later does Thorn comprehend the truth: Damien is no ordinary child; he is the long-prophesized Anti-Christ. Now, Thorn must make the ultimate sacrifice to prevent the unspeakable terror that awaits the world. The prophecy is clear, the signs unmistakable: Armageddon is upon us. On 6 / 6 / 06, the omen is revealed...and our darkest fears are realized.

Hey.. for the past few blogs, my topic's about my nasty sis-in-law huh... kinda boring.... and pretty sad to talk about it.... so i shan't talk about it anymore more.. Anyway, right now, i m trying to make myself happy! And I am happy... :)

MOVIES:

As usual, I m a movie freak... besides Poseiden that I last talk about in my previous blog, on 20th May I watched DaVinci code ... it was great! Read a part of the book, Dan Brown indeed has got very very good description of the place... He's really a good writer! I didn't finish the book... I m just lazy to finish it.... :) Anyway, reading the book now is a passe already... my brother's reading it... Sigh... (Click on the picture to enter it's offical website)

on 27th May 06, we didn't catch any movie. Instead, Alvin and I went for Grease, The Musical at Indoor Stadium! It was great too... But Ma ma mia's still the best. :)

GREASE, the fifth longest running musical in Broadway history is revved up and ready to rock 'n' roll. GREASE brings back the classic rock ‘n’ roll sounds of the fifties with songs including “We Go Together,” “Summer Nights”, “Beauty School Dropout” and “Born to Hand Jive.” And for those of you who cannot get enough of GREASE, special arrangements have been made to include three hit songs from the movie: “Hopelessly Devoted to You” and “You’re The One That I Want” and Barry Gibb’s “Grease”. Not forgetting “Summer Lovin’’’ and “Greased Lightnin’”.

Yesterday, we watched X-Men, The last stand. It was good too.... Watched the first one and the second one.... they are all great!!! should watch it!!!
