Reached office b4 8am this morning coz took a cab to office. Brought along alot of files and papers (bills etc.) to office to try and clear (shred if necessary) coz its quite dangerous if just throw away like that. The people around my parents' house area were quite desperate as they always dig into thrown away rubbish to salvage stuff and will leave the rest scattered around. I definitely wouldn't want to see documents with my name or details everywhere!
Haven't got to touch them yet as was busy having my yucky breakfast over a cup of teh tarik and reading Wobao. Also "played" abit of Facebook b4 starting work. In fact no mood to start work yet la... that's why I am here... :P Trying to remember now what I did for the past days which I have been missing updates on...
Monday
Stayed at parents' place last nite thus woke up early to bathe so that wun delay sis' timing. Reached office ard 8.05am, how shiok! Hai... really miss the short distance travelled in the morning from Toa Payoh.
Had dinner at home, watched a bit of TV and almost fell asleep thus decided to go for a nap, which I usually did last time every Monday. Always tired on Mondays...
Woke up almost near 11pm and had wanted to brush my teeth and go back to bed then saw that bro and Peggy were there. They finally found time to talk to my parents about their reluctant intention to move house. Joined a while and did a bit of Sudoku after they left b4 heading for bed.
Sunday
Today was grandma's birthday thus we made our way to Toa Payoh ard 11am. Took some stuff for work as will be staying over for the next 2 nites as Web will be working over midnite.
People started to arrive by 12pm+ and was surprised to see some "new" faces. Some relatives seldom turn up at such gatherings and this time maybe they got mood... hahaha... Lunch started ard 1pm when most of the food were ready (some ordered, some bought), followed by chit chatting and gossiping among the cousins as usual. Funny thing, we din take pictures of the food this time but they included "Golden Pillows bread with curry chicken/ fish", "Siew Mais", "Fried Bee Hoon", "Nuggets", "Fried Mee", "Fried Spring Rolls" and "Agar-agar" etc.
Time passed quite fast and after cake cutting, we left grandma's house. Web went back to his parents' house while me and sis accompanied bro and Peggy to view flats. Went to 3 units and none seemed that attractive enough.
We finally reached home around 6pm+ and rested a while b4 heading out for dinner. We had wanted to go Mac for dinner but reaching there, sis suggested that we should go eat Botak Jones, which is located just within walking distance, at the industrial park food centre.
We braved the mini drizzling and reached the place, and the queue was quite long as expected. Made our orders and was informed that the food would take 30-45 mins thus we had a drink 1st. Surprisingly the Cajun Chicken came within 15 mins and it was good! The Fish and Chips came slightly later, after we finished our chicken but was abti disappointing. The fish was abit overcooked and too thin to taste anything. Guess the Cajun Chicken was a better choice and we would take that next time or try something else.
Saturday
Woke up quite early and we left home to Vivocity to catch a movie. Lucky to get quite good seats as we were quite early and went for lunch and shopped abit b4 the show. Watched "The Seeker" and it was so-so only. Had wanted to catch "Stardust" but the showtime was quite late as its only sneak preview so will probably watch it later.
We then had a drink at Seah Im Food Centre b4 taking a bus down to Orchard. Went to OG 1st to redeem points for the card expiring this month and got a quite a no. of stuff (2 x digital clocks, 1 x kitchen coaster set, 3 x candy pots) and paid about $43 for the top-up. Also bought a set of bedsheets at 20% off and cost around $22+. We then walked down to Centrepoint as I need to blend my toner at MTM. Finally had dinner at TCC b4 taking a bus down to Dhoby Ghaut and changed to mrt home.
Friday
Took half day with sis to go ktv followed by dinner with Xris. Shopped abit from Centrepoint, Metro Paragon and Tangs b4 going home. Supposed to stay at parents' house tonite but changed our plans coz will be staying on Sunday and Monday nite so had to take a train home from Orchard. Good thing it was quite fast and reached home in about 40 mins.
Web had already fixed the shelves we got from NTUC the week b4 by then. We would need to tidy up the home shelter probably this weekend to shift the shelves in and get everything organise. Its a total mess inside now and I am scared that insects (especially the disgusting spiders) will breed.
Thursday
Was on mc as had headache in the morning. After waking up ard 11am for brunch and medicine, went back for a nap till 4pm, showered and went out to AMK to meet sis. Already promised to meet her and since headache was finally gone after the nap. We had dinner at Ichiban Sushi at AMK Hub and shopped abit b4 we each made our way home.

Pissed off
I am not exactly crazy over "Facebook", a new online application and contacts network programme online but been checking my account almost everyday. There is countless stuff to do there and through that, I even found a long lost fren whom I have lost touch since like in year 2000! Realised that many of my colleagues are also in "Facebook" too but din add all of them since dun really know them well.
~
Anyway woke up with a left swollen eye, not sure what happened, maybe kena boxed in my dreams... Luckily its slowly subsiding now and dun look as swollen earlier. Left home abit later than usual and dun have to chase after trains or buses coz all wrong timing, so naturally reached office abit late.
On top of it, my stupid asshole boss had to piss me off early in the morning again. Really spoil my mood and feel like going home to zzz.... hai~

Backache...
Got backache now after doing cleaning and washing of stuff last Saturday... :(
Sunday
Woke up abit later than usual and after having out brunch downstairs, we took to bus to my parents' place for a visit. Blur me forgot my rings when I stayed over on Friday nite and since Web haven't seen my parents since we got married about 3 weeks back, took this opportunity to bring him back for a visit and to get my rings of coz.
We then went to AMK for a game of pool. Its been almost like 1/2 year more since we last played as we were busy with house and wedding stuff. Suprisingly I still won most of the games... haha. Had a drink at Mac after that b4 heading to NTUC at AMK Hub for shopping. Finally bought DIY shelves for our storeroom (home shelter) and some storage boxes. Would need to go Ikea of of these days too to shop for nice CD racks and probably a bigger TV rack for our Cosy/ Resource room.
After taking a cab back to our house with the bulky and heavy stuff, we took a bus to Rivervale Mall for dinner and more shopping. Realised that our metal poles for hanging laundry not quite enough so decided to buy 2 more, plus some other household stuff.
Saturday
After back from Toa Payoh, we went to Vivocity intending to get stuff from Giant as they have free delivery for groceries and household stuff above $100. Realised that the stuff we wanted were out of stock and they dun have that much stuff to decided to give it a miss.
We then shopped around and had dinner at one restaurant there. Cun really remember the name now but its a seafood place and the food was quite nice. We then left early for home as there was a Liverpool match at 7.45pm.
Since got mood, I then started vacuuming and mopping the house, cleaned the toilets as well as washed those rugs b4 settling down for a rest. Was then online and chatted with my brother for a while b4 we went to bed.
Friday
Met sis after work and went to Orchard again as had to collect the gift for Web. We had dinner at Ding Tai Fung and the dinner was a bit disappointing. The egg fried rice was not as good as before and it will be probably be a while b4 we step in again!
As orchard was rather crowded, we decided to head to Novena to chill out. Went to the TCC there and had a drink plus cheesecake until they close ard 10pm. We then met a group of my colleagues outside the nearby Mos Burger when leaving and chatted for a while.

Cheesed off!
Saw a very horrible incident just now. As I was walking to the Gateway West tower and holding an umbrella coz its raining after I alighted from the bus stop, I saw someone fell down after alighted from the shutter bus. Just one flop and I din see her up and just then, saw a temp colleague walking back. She just looked back and walked off! I then saw 2 persons rushing forward to help her up although its drizzling and I walked over and helped shelter her. Just as she was up, realised she's actually pregant! My god... hope her baby is ok. I helped her to the lobby as she met her colleagues and left her with them. Hope they would bring her to a doctor later as she looked 4-5 months pregnant. Sure hope her baby is ok...
I am surprised there were so many people standing there and yet the ones who actually went to helped her 1st was a caucasian lady and a dunno-from-where man (dun look local to me). The rest just looked and never offer to help... typical Singaporeans! Especially cheesed off by the behaviour of the temp colleague, who was then the nearest to her yet just walk off!

Finally its Friday!
Finally its Friday! Noticed that this day every week, I felt so happy coz weekends is finally here again! Although its short but still a chance for me to sleep later than usual, not think about getting to work (rushing and rushing) and also can go back to my parents' place! However, will need to clean the house once again coz can see dust and dirt everywhere now. It would be a tiring weekend I guess...
Met up with the gals to discuss on Hui's wedding stuff but ended up touching abit on the topic only and spent most of the time talking nonsense and gossiping. Anyway there might be some changes and probably will have to meet rest of the helpers, especially the main co-ordinator b4 we can finalise the duties. As for the schedule, Hui will need to check on some timings then we could decide.
We actually had dinner at Long John Silver's at MacDonald House but the cashier apparently got some orders wrong and the food was not that nice and quite ex. Think we would boycott them for a while and decided to change venue to the Starbucks Coffee at The Cathay. Left ard 10pm+ and took train home with Angeline. Wanted to take a cab but as usual cun get them during that kind of timing so bo bian. Luckily wasn't that long b4 I reached home b4 11pm. Bathed and watched TV for a while b4 heading for bed.
Was editing my pictures for the AD from the CD I got from Xris yesterday. Supposed to meet Alwin, my photographer at PS but coincidentally Xris met him near her office bus stop and to save his trip down since Xris was meeting me, she collected the CD from him. They actually worked in the same building but 2 floors apart! Ok back to the pictures, I realised I looked tired and face/ eyes looked fluffy so most of my day pictures were damn ugly! So brides-to-be, sleep and rest is really very important at least 1 week b4 your AD, else you will end up looking like me! Now trying to select those can-see ones then post on my website...

*Yawnz*
Busy morning as I was helping Hui re-adjust her wedding programme and helpers' allocations. Did lunch duty and went downstairs for a fast lunch. At mid afternoon, had a mini tea break with my colleagues celebrating mine (belated) and another colleague's birthday (advance). We got a nice balloon with our own names and nice food and company!
As Web was working late (meetings at 5pm!), sis needed to buy gifts for her colleagues and my colleague is heading to Toa Payoh, I decided to ask for permission to meet my sis at Bishan to help with her shopping and took a lift from my colleague to Braddell mrt station.
The familiar walk down to take train makes me really miss Toa Payoh and of coz home! Its ever so convenient to go anywhere from Toa Payoh, not like Sengkang. Did not go home 1st coz will be meeting sis shortly.
We shopped abit and bought what she wanted b4 heading to the nearby Bishan CC to dine at Olio Dome. The sky was damn dark in the distance and I was telling sis hopefully if it rains, would stop by the time we finish dinner. True enough, it rained damn heavily and stopped b4 we left. The place changed quite abit as we haven't been there for really long.
Its back to shopping b4 I left after buying dinner for Web. Was lucky the bus came just as I reached the bus stop and got home 35 mins later. Watched abit of TV then went to bed. Woke up feeling quite tired this morning and kept yawning as I typed...

Weekend recap
Weekend passed by swiftly and its Monday again! Woke up about 10 mins earlier than usual and managed to reach office by 8.30am. Already ran the daily jobs last evening so I wun need to rush in case I am late today.
Sunday
Wanted to go AMK for pool and swimming today but woke up with a headache at 9am, possibly a hangover from the red wine the nite b4 so was stuck at home until late afternoon. Web went to buy breakfast and after eating, I took the headache pills and napped till 3pm. We then went out around 4pm when I felt better to Hougang Central for dinner and groceries shopping.
Saturday
Stayed over at parents' house last nite and packed abit b4 taking a cab and picking Web up on the way then to our house. Rested a while then we went out for shopping at Orchard. Its been months since we had a decent shopping trip as was busy with the house and wedding. In fact was at Orchard with sis the nite before and we went to almost the same places! Had an early dinner at Sanur and went home after more shopping. Din really buy anything coz everywhere was so damn crowded. Reached home b4 10pm and did some housework. Was dead tired after all the walking and slept early than usual.
Friday
Met sis at Orchard and had dinner at Isetan Scotts 5th floor. We then went to Wisma to buy shopping vouchers for sis' fren then walked to Taka. Wanted to spend but found nothing much to buy and it was quite crowded as it was having a 3-days member sale. Eventually saw some wall decals which I had intended to buy and bought a packet of it.
We then walked to the Paragon and I finally bought Web's present (a pen from Mont Blanc). Will be collecting it next week as they need some time for engraving. Had wanted to buy last year but dun have the budget for it so did it this year. Hope it would be a surprise to him.
After much walking, we took a break and had a drink at the Lucky Plaza Mac and wanted to leave when we saw Tangs still opened! Realised that their shopping hours was extended ill 11pm and regretted should have gone there earlier! Anyway we spend about almost to an hr there b4 they were closing and we went home. After bathing and helping my sis to add memory to her laptop, was real tired so went to bed without packing anything.

Its Friday!
Been quite a while since I last blogged, just find no chance, no time, no inspiration and no mood. Work had been hectic since I came back last week, after my 5 days-stretched-over-weekends marriage leave. A weird colleague had been freaking me out recently which I hope she will back off abit coz I dun entertain her much.
Just had a minor hair-cut during lunch just now coz my dry ends were getting very hard to manage and maintain. Din make an appointment coz din expect a crowd so after already waiting 20 mins for the stupid slow bus, I had to wait an extra 15 mins there b4 its my turn. I had wanted to cut short, not real short but at least not so long but the stylist din want to waste my 3-weeks coloured hair and said that with my hair texture, it will curl here and there if I were to cut short. Main thing is I dun want my round face to become rounder if its short so I left it to him to style. He commented that my hair is shapeless so he did a V-shape for me behind, trimming the crown part to look more fluffy by layering and then its done. After a wash and blow, my hair looked good, at least got some shape.
Met up with the gals last nite for dinner and catching up at Fish & Co. then Dome Cafe at Park Mall. Met Xris 1st then Hui at Diaso and I easily spent $20! We did abit of shopping b4 Angeline finally arrived as we walked to the Fish & Co. at Park Mall. We were lucky to get a last table then and quickly ordered our food as we were all famished!
Anyway chose this location coz we now have 2 groups going home in different directions, taking diff mrt lines so just nice for us. The food was not bad, compared to the one at Centrepoint (which totally cannot make it, on top of poor service) but the restaurant was damn noisy. Hui cun even hear me talking though she was just opposite me. My voice isn't trained to shout or scream so I had a hard time trying talking to them during dinner. We left for the nearby Dome Cafe which was much much quieter but they closed at 10pm so we had to part. Anyway I cun stay too late coz not now not single and free :(
Appetite wasn't very good these days, probably due to lack of sleep and adjustment to the new environment. The minute when its mealtime, I think of my bed more than anything else. My colleagues were saying it will take a while to get used to my new lifestyle, could be between 1-2 months to even half a year... *faint*! The only thing I cannot really get use is having someone sleeping beside me and getting awaken middle of nite by sound, movement and lights, and taking an hr plus to get to office. I tried waking up earlier but seems like my biological clock wun give way. No matter what I am waking up at 7am, ever since years ago. Anyway I wun reach office that late but just not used to it coz I have little time left b4 everyone else starts coming in. But as long as I come b4 the boss, still ok la...
Staying in Sengkang wasn't my choice but bo bian la, the hubby wants to be near his parents and its nothing wrong with that. My sis isn't helping much when I complained the distance to her as she kept saying I should have thought of it b4 I buy the flat. If everything is so damn simple, then life would probably be too boring. If I can choose, I would sure get one near my parents' home but being a woman, no choice, just like Peggy needs to stay near her in-laws coz my brother wanted to be near home.
Going back to parents' house tonite and stay over, hopefully can have a good sleep but hope my room will not be in a mess like last week!

Tired...
Still trying to get used to my new married life. Woke up abit late so reached office late coz din really sleep well last nite. The stupid radio was disturbing me the whole nite, tonite must feedback cannot leave it on. Web cun sleep without sound but me being the opposite gave in and ended up suffering big time.
Decided to try taking bus after work yesterday and really regretted it coz took me 2 hrs to get home!! The 107 bus I took was quite slow, and worse when it got jammed along the way. By the time I reach Hougang interchange to change a bus, its almost 7pm+. Web actually got back later than me coz he was at Bukit Panjang and he bought dinner back. After the heavy lunch of fried rice, I did not finish my dinner but still felt quite full when its time for bed.
Time passed very fast last nite as so much time was wasted on travelling. Guess I better stick to taking mrt from now on, its still the shortest route.

Big birthday surprise!
Its finally Saturday! Yesterday spent the nite at my parents' place, which both of decided that we will go stay a nite every week at our respective's parents' house. Met sis for some shopping 1st at Chinatown and Somerset, then had dinner at Coffee Bean. I slept on my old bed whereas sis slept on the mattress and we chatted till about 1am then fell asleep. It was damn warm though, even with the aircon on.
Actually I was quite shocked when I saw my room coz my sis' really capable of messing it up hahaha... Managed to pack some stuff (esp clothes) to bring to my house today. Took a cab and loaded the stuff with the help from sis, and picked up Web from the bus stop near his parents' house then we went home together. Unpacked abit b4 leaving the house to Tampines.
Web had told me he needed to go back to work for about 30mins at Telepark and wanted me to accompany him. Who knows when we reached there, he took me straight into D'Meyson Jewellery after a drink. I was very surprised when the sales guy took out a diamond ring Web had apparantly bought yesterday. Seriously I wasn't expecting any thing so shocking from him coz he always said he dun like to buy diamonds coz got no value like gold.
I dun really know much about diamonds but its quite big to me. After spending so much on the house and wedding, din expect him to spend that much but was overwhelmed. The diamond ring was a good buy according to the store manager who served us. Its worth about 2k+ but selling only at 1.6k+ but I still like it very much. I was really touched but lucky not too emotional to cry la.
After that we took a bus back to Kovan and had dinner at Thai Express. Had signed up for the membership (at $20) some weeks back and they got vouchers ($10+$15) for birthday and free gift so dun want to waste it. Ended up the dinner only cost us $19.90 plus a bottle of red wine as free gift. We then went shopping at the nearby NTUC, bought groceries etc and took bus home.
The weather was damn warm these few days and I am perspiring even now when I am typing. Need to get a drink now...

Sick...
After one day back to the office (yesterday), I am on mc 2day. Was having a fever last nite and still at 37.7 degrees celsius when I seen doc just now. Probably too tired preparing for our wedding and the germs finally exploded...
Tuesday
Its my birthday but Web got to work thus sis took half day leave to celebrate for me. B4 I left home, Angeline sent me a nice basket of flowers with a bunny and birthday balloon. Really got a surprise as I was wondering who would ring the doorbell.
Xris also managed to make it last min so we met at Orchard and had lunch at Tony Romas. Its been alsmot 5-6 years or more since I last dine at Tony Romas. The restaurant was quite empty but the food was great! The portion was huge as usual and we din manage to finish our own portion.
It then some chatting and I opened the present Xris got me. It was an european type of lamp which I like. Saw it at the BS and immediately fell in love with it. Managed to take pictures with it during my photoshoot. Xris went all the way to Far East Plaza to get it, after hearing from sis that we passed by this shop the other day. They sell few designs and all very nice!
We then shopped abit b4 Xris had to leave for her company's gathering so we continued shopping and finally took a cab home. Supposed to meet Web for dinner but his meeting ended almost ard 8pm thus we just make do downstairs.
Wednesday
Back to work today. Cun imagine took me about 1hr+ to reach office. The actual journey wasn't that long but after waiting here and there, the timing was sretched. Went out at 7.30am then bought breakfast at the coffeeshop downstairs then took LRT to change to MRT. The train going down to town was so damn crowded so decided to take the Punggol one then down since its just one station away. Managed to get a seat and all the way to Little India to change to a bus. Reached office around 8.40am!
Work wasn't that bz but still enough to keep me occupied till 5.30pm. Supposed to take a bus (980) to change to MRT at Little India but the wait took longer than expected. By the time I reach Compass Point to meet Web, its ard 6.30pm, still took me 1 hr. Probably will try taking bus home next time, maybe wun be that long.
We then had dinner at the food court there b4 making our way home. Did some housework like hanging the clothes after wash, hanging my clothes from the bags I brought over and after that, felt real tired. Fell asleep on the bed for about 10 mins+ then woke up feeling feverish and restless. Took pills b4 hitting the bed and thinking will take mc if still not well tomorrow.

Finally married...
Finally its over! Ya, got married off on Saturday and had our wedding dinner last nite. Phew... finally can take a break now...
Woke up late as usual then took a cab to return the gowns and suits then off to the bank to deposit the money. Had lunch outside and shopped abit b4 taking a bus to Web's house as he needs to pack his working clothes. He has to go back to work tomorrow but I still got one more day. Abit dreading to go back especially after so many days of leave but bo bian, time flew too fast.
Saturday (Wedding day)
Woke up ard 6am, bathed and got ready in pyjamas to wait for the MUA to arrive at 7.30am. The photographer came ard 7.10am+ which was quite early so not much time to entertain him.
Started make up ard 7.30am+ and was still feeling quite stone, probably coz its too early. Din really sleep quite alot the nite b4 although was very tired. Had met up with Xris in the evening for pedicure and manicure then dinner after the an chuang in the afternoon and collection of our gowns and suits. Was rushing around and already felt quite sleepy and tired when I met Xris. Was running out of time earlier and luckily bro helped me drove my gowns home and me to Dhoby Ghaut. Web had took a cab home himself.
Anyway by the time we finished make up, the groom was almost due to arrive and the excited sisters and helpers quickly got to their respective locations and responsibilities. They were really a great bunch of helpers and I cun imagine what to do without them! Some fun and games followed and by the time the groom came to me with the bridal hand bouquet, I was feeling quite warm and perspiring as the room was quite warm, even with the fan blowing.
It was then to Web's parents place for tea ceremony, photoshoot at Punggol Park, back to our new house and finally ended with tea ceremony at my parents' place. When we finally got back to our new house, rested a while after bathing and set off again to MIL's (mother-in-law) house for dinner. The rest of the evening was busy for me as I need to amend the 1st montage and get to work with the 2nd one (actual day pictures - which Xris and sis took for me). Worked until ard 2am then finally went to bed feeling real tired.
Sunday (wedding banquet)
Woke up ard 10am+, went out for lunch at Rivervale Plaza then back to the house to round up songs for the background music during the wedding banquet. By the time I finished and have to get ready for Web's friend to pick us up to the restaurant, I was feeling tired and giddy. Took a short nap in the car while they were chatting away and luckily felt so much better after that.
Make up then started ard 5pm+ at the restaurant while the other helpers slowly arrive and helped in seeing through the preparations. This time round I wasn't feeling so stone and the make up also brightened me up abit. Asked for a more refreshing style and left it to the MUA. Finally finished make up at 7pm+ and most guests have arrived, to our amaze. Even though we put 6.30pm, we still anticipate late comers coz I think its already a Singaporean way of life - never early for a wedding banquet.
We managed to start the banquet at 8pm with the 1st march in and then start of the dinner. In no time, its time to change into my evening gown for the 2nd march in and everything else went smoothly and on time. Although when we went around for table pictures, took us quite fast too as not much tables proposed toasting. We only managed to toast with Web's collegus, my cousins and siblings table and all my colleagues and each toasting got louder and louder, very fun.
The dinner finally ended without rush and I was glad its finally over and very happy that most of my colleagues and friends could make it. Too bad I dun have much chance to go around talking to them coz have to maintain my image in front of Web's family and relatives... hahaha...
The same friend that drove us there, gave us a lift home and to Xris and Yoki as well as he stays nearby to them. We then spent the remaining of the nite drinking some red wine and counting ang bao money.
