Babies...

Went out with my best pals in secondary school last Monday... met up for dinner at Pizza Hut, Causeway Point in Woodlands... as we chatted, somehow we came to the topic of babies and married life.. somehow as human ages, even the topics that was discussed in gatherings changed... last time it was studies and gossips, then it become work and gossips and now it become work, marriage, relationship and babies!

But anyway we talked about getting married.. and then babies came into the picture... and then we went into the topic of abortion... debating on the topic of aborting the baby should you be not ready for it or do not have the right mentality to take good care of it and give it the best... my frenz agrued on the basis that a baby is also a life and you should never kill a life....

To me, I think firstly I am too young... I am struggling to earn enough for myself.. I have a career to build... it is surely not the right time to have a baby now... I wun have the time and the financial capability to take care of the baby... and surely not the right mentality to be a good mother... they said when you give birth to a baby, you will change, your mentality will change.... but I dun wan to take the bet... I have seen people giving birth to a child at the young age only to regret their decision and ended up hating their child for ruining their life.. and with the wrong mentality you might end up hurting the kid in many ways you shouldnt..

I have a frenz who just announced that he will be a dad in Oct... he is beaming with radiance on his face.. very happy to be a dad... the couple is very happy to welcome the kid into their life and I am seriously happy for them too...

I too crave for a happy marriage life... and also a kid... I do agree that a marriage life can be enhanced with the birth of a child... when a couple comes together to take care of the child and share all the happiness and unhappiness that come with it... they bring their child out for a walk, to play at the playground... with a sweet smile on their face when they see their kid running around, laughing and smiling... that all comes at the right time.. when both couples are ready to take on the responsibility and burden of a kid coming into their life...

Work Time Bomb..

Operations Manager = Bao Sua Bao Hai

 

I keep telling myself.. I must stay calm, I must remain cool.... when everyone panics, I must be the coolest of all... if I panic, it means dead meat... All i need to do is to try my best to complete whatever that is within my limit... after all, I am well trained in such situations... after all I have been in similiar cases before.....

 

However despite the numerous reminders I sent to myself to relax, remain cool, stay calm... my sub conscious is doing otherwise...

Hell of a world...

Been to Heaven

Back to Hell

Welcome back to reality, Christina.

Stressed?

1.30AM in e morning... Horribly tired mentally... Been tired e entire day in fact... But now despite my heavy eyelids, my brain refused to go to sleep... I cant think of a reason for that... I only know deep down i am going to be freaking tired tomolo if i dun grab some sleep soon..

Twist of fate & destiny..

I find it really amusing..

 

Or maybe even a little funny...

 

About the twist of fate & destiny in some of our life...

 

When everyone thought you will marry the someone...

 

And you ended up marrying another one...

 

One of my frenz.. a very old long lost frenz.. someone I hanged out with 2 - 3 years ago.. who used to be my good buddy's ex gerfrenz.. just got married to the guy she dumped my good buddy for within less than 2 years! And both of them are less than 23 years old.... not becoz of shotgun (as everyone would have thought) but becoz they believe that each other is the right one...... wow.. she was with my frenz for more than 2 years.. but it never ended up in marriage... never even hear the thought of it.......and now she was officially married to that other guy.. wow....

Contradiction

Dum dum is very very very busy at work....

 

I have tons of things to do.. but I simply dun feel like doing them..

 

Just got the hotel confirmed for our weekend getaway to Malacca so I am already in half holiday. half weekend mood...

 

Poor dum dum is getting very stressed at work.. exact same situation like I was in Informatics... no time to talk on MSN / Skype.. lots of workload with things that keep accummulating non-stop and emails just keep coming non-stop.... backlogs that can never be solved.... getting fucked for things that arent none of your business.... low pay, no OT yet working lots of overtime.... that is what I called overwork, underpaid.... it is never good to be responsible or too responsible... on one hand you are trying to do the best by clearing all the messes and backlogs (when your supervisor dun even care) and do a good job, on another hand people are just making use of that opportunity to say "look it is your job / your fault so do it.." when it is not even none of your freaking business...

 

I remember an incident in which the exam results and the assignment marks for some students (actually quite alot) got mixed up or even went missing. As a result, there was lots of complaints from the students, lots of blame / responsibilities pushing between the teaching dept, customer service dept, the exam dept and the validation dept... and lots of meetings... in the end I got the blame... but it wasnt even my fault.... the students filled in the wrong course code, wrong module code on their exam registration forms, the customer service executives went to key in exactly as what the students wrote on their forms without even bothering to double check before sending it through to me... and me, being overloaded with more than 20 courses in the entire Business school and more than 1000 students to check and verify (which even working weekends doesnt help) missed out on some of the students' information and sent it through to the validation dept who didnt even bother to check knowing how many students and how many courses there are (they said they dun have the time neither do they have the manpower.. yeh as if I have)... and the lecturers just basically dumped all the assignments in one pile without even bothering to sort it accordingly... gosh.. no wonder the students assignments went missing...... even though they insisted that their students submitted the assignments and they marked it accordingly...(oh yah and they keyed in wrongly too) but when you asked them to find it, they cant.. and they said they have already submitted it all to me.. and I must have been the one to lose it... when I never even seen the assigments... they submitted it straight to the validation dept and they said i lost the assignments..and validation dept said i didnt check...  how stupid can that be...

 

Dum dum was glad i got out of that freaking place after seeing me unhappy and working from 8am in the morning to 12 midnight... and i wish I can console him too now

feel so helpless....

Missing in Action

It is rather true that I have been missing in action for quite some time now.. and my blog is feeling horribly neglected...

 

And the reason for that is because I am simply too lazy to log in to Blogger when I am at home..... in fact I am perhaps too lazy to do anything at all at home other than looking at other peoples' blogs...

 

But but... things are going to change now...

 

Becoz I am blogging from work... wahahhah..

 

I am looking very busy at work.. typing a superb long email to my client.. but but... I am actually writing the next post on my blog..

 

So guys.. look out.. I am going to start flooding my blog with lots of posts from now on.. you bet..

Perfect Wedding

I am sure underneath every gal's heart, there is always a dream of a perfect wedding...

And that goes the same for me too... I too have a dream of my perfect wedding... the one and only day I become a beautiful swan (from an ugly duckling), put on my beautiful long wedding gown, hold the hands of my loved one, walk down an aisle covered with rose petals, accepting the best wishes from frenz and relatives.. with the mixed feeling of excitement, happiness, sweetness all shown with a big smile on my face.... before embarking on a long romantic relaxing holiday where I can lay in the hands of my loved one, tell him how much I love him, how glad I am to spend forever with him and enjoy some sweet romantic time together enclosed in a world of our own...

After all, this is the one and only day you get to enjoy the luxury of getting married... noone get to enjoy that every 5 mins, every day, every week or every year.. (unless you are planning to get married many many times in your life). And the best of all, everything you do on this day can only be done once.... u cant wear a wedding gown on some other day to the market, you cant walk down an aisle covered with rose petals everyday (unless perhaps you go to a nice spa resort for a holiday but still you cant do that everyday).. the point is it is the one and only day for every gal.. and for that, they want to have the chance to do it.. and they want everything to be perfect!

It is not about boasting to people that you are getting married... or announcing to the entire world that you are getting married.. true enough it is a committment between two persons and their families and doesnt neccessary have to involve many many other people... but if you are not going to do any of the above, you will never have the chance to do it again right??

I just dunno... should I do it or not?? Should I stick to my perfect wedding dream or at least have something similiar.. or should I just have it as a small personal event attached with my own memories.. but I am getting married right..? Shouldnt it be a elaborate and happy event.. where everyone comes together and be happy for you?? is that boasting?? aiyoh... the bad thing about me is I always think alot and thus I get myself to a crossroad where I start confusing myself and getting myself all worked out in a dilemna.. it is all the questions of "should I or should I not".

On one hand, I really dun want to have a long entertainment list of guests.... but on another hand, I dun wan to invite a few and miss out the rest.... so I might as well dun invite at all right?? And if a marriage is between two persons for the rest of our life.. I rather spend the money on getting new furniture for a new bedroom, a perfect honeymoon for both of us rather than just spending it all on a beautiful beachfront ceremony at Rasa Sentosa inviting lots of guests right??

I mean if you think about it... other than getting well wishes from your guests and the thoughts of collecting angbaos that might not be as big as you thought it is, there are really no big advantages of having a lunch / dinner at all... it will be over within half a day and you will have close to 5k gone on the beautiful venue (which you and your partner will have no time to properly admire and examine every inch of it becoz you will be so busy entertaining your guests..), the food (which you or your partner have no time to eat or even touch) and the decors such as the flowers (which you cant bring home and will most likely wither or turn brown by another half of the day).... maybe it is right to say that the only point of getting such an expensive nice venue is to brag to your frenz and relatives to say "look, i am getting married.. and see how happy i am coz i got the money to spend on this nice venue and good food for all of you guys.. and thank you all for coming to bask in my happiness..." and maybe 3 mths later you get a divorce becoz even though the perfect wedding works out, the marriage unfortunely wasnt as perfect as what was shown.....

Yeh.. so what if the perfect wedding works out... everything might seem perfect on that one and only day... two happy couple basking in happiness and the moment they get home, they started agruing about the angbaos they got, the different way they squeeze their toothpaste and the bad toilet habits of not flushing after use... ultimately even with the perfect wedding in place, the marriage might not work out to be that perfect at all.... so what's the point of getting a perfect wedding when you cant even make the marriage between the very two persons getting married works.. it is just like what's the point of giving flowers to your gf on Valentine Day when the rest of the day you are beating the shit out of her....

Wedding Guest List...

I havent even said anything officially abt getting married yet..

All I did was to write some dreamy blog posts about my perfect wedding, the venue etc etc and my future "Mr Right".. yes I do understand it might lead to certain thoughts or misperceptions that I am getting married soon or at least preparing to get married.. but but... we are just in the stage of discussion.. and nothing has been confirmed yet...

Suddenly frenz are emailing me or msning me "Congrats... heard you are getting married..." hmmmm in the first place I didnt know that much people know my blog or even bother to read it... but anyway the impt thing is... everyone has the common motive of "so when and where is your wedding.. must invite us hor...".. wah piangz... this is making it very hard man.. if people already opened their mouth to ask.. if I am going to strike them off the list of invited guests.. a bit pai seh right..? But then if I am going to invite everyone who need or have or wan to be invited, I might have to hold my wedding at the kopitiam or declare bankrupt right after man.... the list just keep on adding nonstop.....

So ppl... should you be reading this post... first I am not having a wedding so soon... second I do not have that much budget to hold a lavish wedding for 300 - 600 people.... third if you can see from my previous post my perfect wedding venue only hold 30 people... sooooooo i dun have to say anything more right???

Proposal or not??

What women really want for a marriage proposal?

Some like it grand and famous... like proposing over the big screen in the movie theatre or during National Parade.. perhaps even kneeling down in the middle of busy Orchard Road or some crowded restaurant.... where everyone around will go "wooo... wow.... ohhh.. so sweet.... " and clapped for you...

I dun like any of the above that I have just mentioned... try doing that and I make sure I wouldnt speak to you for at least a day....

Actually isnt a marriage proposal supposed to be the moment when two persons decide to enter into a ever-lasting promise to share their life with each other down the road..?? Thus it should just involve the very two persons and not many many ppl right..? What are you trying to prove... that your future husband really love you??

However it doesnt mean that a simple question of "Would You Marry Me" can do the trick.. after all we are talking about a marriage for life right?

Then.. what must be added on top of that question then??

It is true that I do not think that a proposal ring is neccessary.. after all you would have to get a engagement ring for solemnization.. then what's the extra proposal ring for..??

But still.. that doesnt mean that I will get myself "married off" at the pop of that question either... it cant be that simple as to a simple question of "Would You Marry Me" blurted out suddenly in the moment of time right?? Like what if any strangers on the streets come up to me with a "Would You Marry Me" question, do I have to consider about marrying him then.. after all he just asked the very same question all gers wanna to hear... I believe all gers are surely looking for something more than just the question... sincerity comes with more feelings shown from the bottom of the heart... doesnt mean flowers and a candlelight dinner is neccessary... sometimes it can be very simple.. but yet it touches the ger in the bottom of the heart...

But in any case.. is it really neccessary for a proposal after a couple has decided to committ to each other for life??

Hmmm... women are forever confusing and complicated creatures...

Perfect Wedding Venue...

I think I finally found the perfect outdoor venue... simple yet beautiful.... one down side to the beauty loh... it can only accommodate 30 persons... wahahah... how?? I think I might have to leave out some frenz then.. cant possibly invite everyone including relatives right?? But anyway nothing will be happening so soon... so there is really no hurry to fix such things yet... just a consideration at the moment...

Charity Mindset...

Today when I am at Causeway Point, before and after my driving lesson... I was surrounded and "attacked" by students and volunteers everywhere I go... they were doing a flag day charity donation drive for the Salvation Army. Every weekend.. Causeway Point is always very happening.. with donation drives and insurance people waging a war with the huge crowd of shoppers and residents....

Frankly speaking.. it is not that I do not have any sympathy for the people that Salvation Army is helping.... you cant say I am totally hard hearted for not giving a cent to those people..I seriously sympathise those people that Salvation Army is helping (whoever they are) and those volunteers and students who work hard to do their part... after all during my school days, I am also one of those being forced to go out with a can and approach people for donations in order to complete my 40hours of social work... but after the NKF incident.. I totally dun trust these donations anymore... and I am sure I am not the only one.... you dunno where the money is going through.. how many people really receive help from ur donation... and how much of the money actually went into the pockets of the management and staffs working in there.. and the worst of all, there are bad people out there who fake donation drives to earn easy money... wah piangz... making it so bad until now you will have to check if those students and volunteers hold on to a pass or something to prove that they are really representing the organisation they are doing a donation drive for... tell me.. who will really go and check??

I went down from the MRT station level to the bus interchange level and there was this familiar face... the blind uncle who plays very good music.... and I took out my wallet and dropped in all the coins I have....at least this is somewhere where I think it is worth donating to... uncle is blind... but he works hard to earn a living despite his disabilities.... he is not like one of those useless people who sit by the streets, looks perfectly ok except for torn patches on their clothes here and there, begging for a living.. hoping for some easy money....why cant you look for a job..??? if you dunno any language, go be a sweeper.. you have legs to walk and hands to use... why?? because by begging, they really earn easy money .. last time before the ugly NKF incident, it came out in the newspapers that those "beggers" can at least earn 50 - 100bucks a day... that is even better than what I am earning loh...

I remembered I saw before a brother and a sister in the news... they speak english but somehow they lived in the void deck of a block with no proper housing... both of them are perfectly healthy and normal with no major illness... except of coz the clothes that they worn are dirty and torn... they said they tried to look for a job.. but becoz of their age nobody wanted to hire them....and when they went up on the news, they got the help of the statutory board governing their area... I SO TOTALLY LOOK DOWN ON THEM LO... they are the pests of the society.... they can speak english, they can read english newspaper... they are not half as old as those uncles and aunties working in Macdonalds or KFC.. AND THEY SAID NOONE WAN TO HIRE THEM??!!! they just wanna free help, free money from the government without even working a bit for themselves la pls...why would people go and pity them.... THINK!!!! they can easily find a job.. just a matter of how much the pay is and the working hours... i am sure Macdonalds, Delifrance and KFC will welcome them to join their labour force... and I am sure if they are willing to work hard, with the money... they are able to pass a living.. maybe not as good as anyone else.. but at least you will survive.... the auntie in my block is 80+ and still working as a sweeper.... my ex staff in Delifrance is 60+ and still working as a cleaner.... lots of places are hiring lo....

Now the government is emphasizing more benefits for the lower income group... after some sad news of people committing sucide blu blu blu... For people who are really sick and bed ridden, they cant work.. i can understand.... there are families out there where the husband take home a pathetic $1000 a mth and have to support two children with low mentality and a wife who is sick and have to go in and out of hospital mthly.. those families really need help... no fight about that... but how can the government gurantee that those people like the brother and sister who can work but dun wan to work.. do not also enjoy the benefits of thw lower income group..?? Based on housing requirements, based on salary requirements, they matched every single criteria of the lower income group but that is just becoz they are lazy......

After seeing all of the above... I think I am now kinda of immune to donation drives... Ren Chi Charity Drive is coming up again this year... you see the same stunts, the same tricks.... after so many years of people complaining and giving feedbacks on how bad the show is... they never stop... in the end I dun even know I am donating becoz I support my idol in the show, becoz I think the stunt is really worth it after so much hard work and effort that the performer put in or becoz I really pity the people in Ren Chi Hospital... after all the show is done up for the poor people in Ren Chi Hospital.. not for anything else... why not forego all the stunts, forego all the tricks and show us two hours of the true life encounters of the people..... let us cry for their sad encounters and their misfortunes... and I am sure people like me will volunteer to donate... duun need for the performers... dun need for the dangerous stunts.. dun need for the dance and singing performances... just pure feelings from the heart....

Importance of Tourism...

Since young, I always wanna to work in the front office of the hotel... from the looks of it, it is grand, highly respected with a big cheque in the pocket monthly... but I said... from the looks of it.... behind the looks it is nothing but a backstabbing field between depts and a warfield of hurtful gossips.... and of coz, from the uniform you looks super cool but you are surely not as well respected and the pay cheque is also not as well as it looks.... I dun understand... ppl treat you like shit... they think they pay you (the hotel) big bucks and they demand everything from you..... when in fact not even half of what they pay the hotel goes into your pocket daily.... but anyway... without the service personnel in the service industry, it is nothing but an empty shell seriously.... so when you go overseas on holiday think twice before you start screaming at the front office, F&B staffs for peanuts....

Anyway... it is not only the people working in this industry that make this industry.... tourism is basically one of the most profitable industry in the world.... a small island like the Caribbean Islands, can earn big bucks in millions... after being structured into a beautiful peaceful relaxing getaway destination for cruises and tourists around the world... looks at Maldives... it has nothing but beaches and resorts... but making full use of it means you have enough for the rest of your life... provided nothing happen to the only natural assets you earn the money from... many destinations has followed suit in this trend... Bali, Bintan, Aruba...making full use of their natural asssets... of coz ignoring the fact that without proper protection and sustainable use, the negative impacts of continued usage will slowly set in and destroy the destination in a couple of years time......

But sometimes it is not just the natural assets of the destination that allow the country / island to prosper in the tourism industry.... a tourist destination can be created from bare hands... For example: building a Disneyland at St John Island.... it can also become a tourist attraction from nothing..... and like what Singapore is doing now... Build a Integrated Resort with a casino and a grand hotel turning it into a mini Las Vegas where people in Asia dun have to travel all the way to Las Vegas to enjoy the spectacular lights, the grand atmosphere and of coz, the chance to place some stakes on the gambling table in turn for a profit.... so the key point is if you have no natural assets, build something that attracts....

Sometimes it is the culture of the people that makes it into a tourism destination.... people can build a tourist destination..... so if you know how to make full use of the people... you might be able to create a niche for yourself somewhere... cultural tourism is the word... why?? In each country, they have a unique culture and tradition.. Thai culture, Indonesian culture, Japanese & Korean culture, Netherlands, Argentina, China, Mongolia... they all have their own unique and distinct characteristics when it comes to culture and traditions.... there is always something special about each country with their unique way of living.... and sometimes that is what people travel for... to experience other people cultures.... even for Singapore... we have our own unique culture being a multi racial society... with a mix of culture and religions.... we travel to Japan toto experience sleeping on a tatami... eating traditional Japanese food.. right??

Making a tourism destination might be easy... but breaking a tourism destination is even more easy... without proper planning and sustainable use, natural destinations might vanish one day... you might go to Pulau Redang and see a bunch of dead corals, no fishes, lots of plastic bags / floating water bottles and brown muddy water 20 years down the road... for man made tourist destinations... without constant upgrading and opening of new attractions, noone will ever wan to return to Disneyland 20 years in a row... you most probably go there once, tell everyone you have been to Disneyland and that's it... enough forever.... casinos maybe not... hahaha... after all, there will never be an end to gambling.... unless one day everyone decide to quit gambling.. which is unlikely and totally impossible.... for cultural destinations... culture are fading fast with the older generations gone, old traditions are vanishing at a fast rate... unless the government or the younger generations step in to protect and guard these old traditions, perhaps 10 years down the road, you might not be able to find some of the cultures now... for example: as more people from the hill tribes in Mongolia slowly moves into the city for higher earning jobs... the culture of the hill tribes will slowly vanish.... sad but true......

All of the above happens after a long period of time... but within a short period of time, things can also happen.. affecting the tourist appeal of the destination.... for example: a bombing, riots, war or natural disasters... Phuket has been seriously affected from the tsurami incident... Bali has been badly affected by the Bali bombing... Phillippines and Indonesia has yet to fully recovered from the constant riots and fightings of its own people... Malaysia is now threatened by the increasing crime rates and the increasing tourist complaints... and Pattaya, Thailand just got smacked right in the face with a murder of two tourists at one of the famous beaches... people get scared for their own safety.. and of coz when faced with some threats like this, rather switched their tourist destination to somewhere safer and not risk their life paying money to be one of the unlucky fews not to make it back safety...

Tourism... make it or break it.....it can earn you big bucks... but it has always been that fragile....

Peace of Mind

Previous few weeks, read in the newspaper about this guy who died in a bike accident. He is on his way to meet up with his gf for dinner when the accident happen. The gf who was waiting at her place, started to panic when he did not turn up after an hour. She bombed his mobile with smses and calls but in vain.. until a police officer picked up her call and informed her that her bf is dead....

Today... read in the newspaper about a group of Malays who rid their bikes up to Genting Highlands for a holiday... brothers, frenz and gerfrenz all together.... they made it safety up to Genting.... then one of the guys received a call from another of their motorbike frenz who is in Thailand informing him that he met up with an accident and cant ride back due to an injured hand... so two of the guys after sending the rest back to Singapore rode up to Thailand to help the frenz in need... in the end instead of helping the frenz in need, they died in an accident at North-South Highway near to Ipoh, Malaysia.... their gfs tried to persuade them about the dangers of the trip.. but their bfs never listen to them....and in turn reassure them that nothing will happen.... but sad to say, something did happen..... and you will never have the chance to regret making that decision....

They were riding a 1300cc motorbike... I bet they trusted their own riding skills and their powerful bike so much that they thought it wouldnt be that much of a problem riding to and fro to Thailand....I wonder how would their frenz in need feels.. you asked your frenz to ride up there to help you in the end you are still alive and kicking.... whereas your frenz is dead..... you would never have thought that would happen... after all so many people made it safety to and fro before......but sad to say, not in their case.. they were just one of the unlucky fews who cant make it back.... North-South Highways in Malaysia is a very dangerous place no matter whether you are riding or driving... accidents happen all the time........ you cant gurantee nothing will happen.... no matter you are alone, with frenz or in a big group of khakis..... all you can do is pray or perhaps bet with the possbility that you are the 90% out of 100% to make it back safety...

Frankly speaking, from the bottom of my heart... I am soooo glad dar sold his bike........ becoz I can nv imagine both cases happening to me....

Things just keep spoiling....

Things arent going well for me beginning of this new year lo...

First my computer graphics card is problematic... my computer screen keep flashing if not it will auto start down by itself or prompt me a blue screen with some funny words and rows of numbers telling me there is an error and I will need to restart my com in safe mode... and worst... after I restart the computer will prompt me with a popup that said "your computer have just suffered a serious error" dotz.. bloody hell I dun even know what is going on lo... gone case... I am especially idiot when it comes to computer hardware....

Then today I went to Blk 300+ for dinner with my family.. after we finished the dinner, while walking back home, mum stopped over a watch shop to change her watch's battery... then bro brought an alarm clock and I brought a cheapo no brand watch for 35 bucks... I cant wear anything expensive la.. being the clumsy me.. either I will lose or spoil it in the end........ anyway the important thing is.. as the shop lady was helping me to cut short my watch's strap, my specs went into pieces.... somehow the screw on the right hand side of my specs (the small little screw that is holding on to the frame that surround the lens) went loose and my entire frame snapped apart releasing the right hand side lens... thank god my lens is plastic.. if not it would have broken into pieces when it fell on the floor... everything just happen in that spilt second I didnt have any time to react before my eyesight went blurry... in the end got to walk back home without my specs.... luckily can still see a bit... bro and dad helped me to screw the frame back..but the specs still a bit loose.... doubt it can survive any longer....

Sat got driving lesson at 10am in the morning.... what if my specs fell apart then..?? Jialat.... but more jialat is hor... I will have to spend some money soon lo.... aiyoh... there goes all my ang baos money.... which isnt even enough to cover the cost of replacing my specs... kaos......... *heart pain*...

Valentine Finale

I have been too tired to blog recently... why am I so tired...?? I have no idea... my computer a bit funni recently lei... the screen keeps flashing.. so now a bit scared to open the computer... scared the monitor or whatever shit suddenly die down on me.....

I have many photos to post from Sentosa.. but I very lazy to edit the super big photos and post it up one by one.... slow and ma fun.... but anyway dar gave me a Valentine Day surprise this year...

We were both at work... talking to each other over skype.... and me and my colleagues were just discussing about no flowers being delivered to our office for Valentine day.... then a uncle walked into my office with a super big plastic bag... and called out my name... the first thing that came to my mind "shit man......" and my face started blushing as I signed for it..... I can feel my face being super hot and super red lo..... right up to my ears.. haha.. dar gave me a surprise and have flowers delivered to my office!!!!


Ok I really never expected that to happen... joke of the day in the office loh.. seriously... hahaha.. everyone was laughing at me.... hehehe... dar came and picked me up after work.... most of the office gals on the streets were carrying huge bouquets of flowers... hehehe... I also got... but mine is in a small glass vase.. becoz dar thought that it is more practical for me to decorate up my office table with a vase of roses... hehee.. but I brought it back home.. becoz my boss is allergic to flower pollen... hahaha... ok we went out for dinner... wasnt a nice romantic candlelight dinner at some nice fancy restaurant... we went to the hawker centre at Chinatown... and ate two plates of char kway tiao and one plate of oyster omelette... Valentine Day dinner... cool right?? Hahaha

After dinner, we went to the beach to sit for a while... the place where we first met, where feelings developed... and where we had our first date... ahhaha....

Seriously I dun think there is any big deal about Valentine Day... to me everyday can be Valentine Day... you dun have to wait until Valentine day to bring me to restaurants and give me flowers... then happily ignore the rest of 364 days.. how pathetic can the ger be??? So sad sia....

Anyway even though I insisted on not buying any gifts specially for Valentine Day.. dar went ahead and brought me a pendant... and thank god guessing that he had that up his sleeve... I brought him a wireless bluetooth headset in return.. but I got him a super lousy one...that toopidz headset need to press at least 4 secs before it can be used... damn.. so lousy with gadgets..

Ok I am going to end this blog with a photo of my pendant.. and the rest are sweet memories....

Valentine Prelude...

For this year Valentine.. we have a 2 days 1 night pre-celebration over the weekend at Costa Sands Sentosa. Acting like a tourist, we went to tour around Sentosa like we have never been there in our life... we went to Underwater World, Pink Dolphin Lagoon, Sky Ride, Musical Fountain, the pubs and the beaches... different from the past is this time we drove Baby Pica in.. so we get to explore every single inch of Sentosa without squeezing with people on the bus and of coz waiting for the bus......

The first day we were running around the attractions whereas the second day was more of a rest & relax day.. basically we took a beach mat and laid down on the beach.... soaked in the water for quite a bit.. and went back home dead tired... wahahaha

Pictures will be posted soon on my Sentosa trip....

Holiday Mood...

You know.. it is so much different going on a holiday with my family / my frenz / my darling....

Going on a holiday with my darling is soo much more fun.... even though it is only across a bridge to Sentosa... like you start looking forward to it.... then it makes you so happy inside out.... just like a small kid who just keep screaming "Yippess I am going on a holiday!!!!"

Last time when i wanna go on a holiday, it is because i need to get away.. be it from work or anything else... I just need to go somewhere quiet, have some time to myself, relax and work my life out....

But going on a holiday with my darling is different... it is not to get away from anything... it is to break through the normal norms and do something different... and of coz to spend more precious time together...

Seriously I cant explain any reasons why.... I see him every weekend.. but it is never enough..because time always flies past in a blink of an eye when we are together... (or maybe becoz we always sleep through half of the day)... but somehow after we finish washing Baby Pica, half of our Sunday is gone... and it is back to bluey Monday...

But maybe it is because we only get to spend weekends together now, that's why we treasure it so much... but the funni thing about human nature is this... a little bit is never enough.. but alot is too much... I asked my darling the other day... if we are going to see each other everyday... 24 hours... 365 days... like when we are married and staying together... do you think we will still look forward to seeing each other, do you think we will still look forward to meeting each other.. or spending time with each other like how we do now...the answer for both parties is NO... sad but true...

Hey this is life.... by that time everything is a habit... so you are so used to doing the same thing everything, the craving wun be there anymore.... just like when you have the craving for bak kut teh one day... you have it once and stop... perhaps after a week you will still have the cravings for it again... but if you eat it everyday... dun even talk about cravings, you will get so sick of it that you dun even wan to snift it at all..

Maybe breaks are not that bad after all.. because it is only during breaks you realise how important the person is to you and how much you miss him / her when he / she is away

ROM Venue..

Hmm... havent decide on anything yet...

But first let worry about the venue... wahahaha...

So many places to choose from....

Now I think I have more or less lessen my venue choices...

For now I have decided not to use the packages at "Love that binds"... it is cheap..but unless I am rushing for time.. I will try as much as I can not to take their "easy" packages... unless I do my ROM there and have my buffet / dinner somewhere else... but then might as well just do everything elsewhere right??

After all, I studied event management for so many years... I think this should be the one and only time I will be putting all that I have learned into good use... so I should be able to plan well for my ROM...

Anyway... now I am deciding between Rasa Sentosa Resort, Sembawang Yacht Club or Amara Hotel... Rather keen on Amara Hotel though.. after seeing some nice photographs of the venue...

We shall see

I just wanna say....
