Unwrapping! @ 2:30 PM

"We shall leave everything to NEXT YEAR!"

And the sound of 'next year' seems like still a long way to go.. But it's just TOMORROW! Feeling excited? I'm in the slacky mood this few weeks. Christmas followed by New Year, holidays just kept coming :P How do I describe such relieve feelings.. It's like back in school days, you have had a long break after exams and during the first day back to school, you are still in the holiday mood!

The most common question asked to you.

"What is your new year resolution!?"


And out of those people whom I've asked. Some say - Quit Smoking (A never ending answer), Grow Fatter (This would never be a girl's resolution)..

Myself!? I want to earn lots of money or should I say earn extra money other than the basic amount that I'm getting every month. So let's just say I want to save up to a target of 15k by end of 2009. Any suggestions on what I can do? Tuitioning is definitely out...

A big Happy New Year to all of you!! To those who does not have any idea what to do the following year? My advice is to keep your ricebowl.. lol..


**********************

I know X'mas is over, but my updates were so lagged behind.

Have received 3 Xmas pressie this year! YAY! The Nuffies did 2 present xchange, for perm staff and subsequently for the SG Nuffies only.

During the retreat, we had a Christmas lunch at Flutes at the Fort. My very first time to fine dining. We had a room by ourselves and in the center of the table were all our pressie for each of our secret santas!

Everybody got their fabulous gift and mine was from Boss Stewie!! Which is a....

LAVA LAMP! (It's working beautifully!)


And on my part, I gave Robb, two topman Tshirts and 5 booster pack of latest Alara collection! Hehehe. Thanks Zach for the tip-off ;P Sorry forget to take image. LOL!

Now for the internal SG pressie xchange, together with our first batch of wonderful interns. We had this mini Xmas tree in office (due to space constraints) and like the traditions, the pressies were are placed under!

We had fun tearing wrapping papers and the excitment filled the room! I thought the funniest gift was by Hanaa to KaiZhi. Guess what?

GUY'S GUIDE TO ROMANCE.

If you know him in person, needless for me to say. But if you read his blog, you will know why he needs it. Emotional by birth? Still, he's our first male intern in SG (hurray), adding more fun and laughter in the office and also known as Ming's sandbag! Hahahaha!

Mine was for Ming. I thought it was rather difficult, because... because.. because... it's just difficult to buy a gift for bosses la!!! LOL. With the help of Wennie (again :P) I got him a watch box!!


Image and video hosting by TinyPic

Whoops, does not have the image of the unwrapped.


And my pressie was from Cherie!! Cosmetics from Skinfood!


Image and video hosting by TinyPic

I would say all the presents were very well thought of, I believe it is not the value that counts.


Lastly and most importantly, the one and only unique gift in the entire universe for the box collector A.K.A me by glib tongue Kenny ;P

Let me decipher the meaning of this box.

" We shall log down all our beautiful memories, which will never go away and may our love bloom like the red roses!"

This Christmas, like I've said, the best of all.
With lots of love from all of you! *Oh no, I must stop my emotional shyt*

Nuffnang Retreat 2008!! @ 12:29 PM



It's such a slow day. *click send/receive, click click click* nothing comes in. Everyone probably take the day off I guess.

I wonder how most of you spend your christmas.

Squeezing through the streets of orchard road? When I was much younger like in my teens, I love crowds and countdowns. I love to join in the fun, but now I choose to enjoy it in a more slack and lazy way of mine. HAHA! The 2000 millenium countdown at orchard road - my very first countdown which nearly suffoscate me! In fact, I couldn't breathe simply because I was too short! The taller people took my oxygen and left little for me. I was P6 then. But I think my height didn't really grew much since tho. Yes to be frank I'm still a pathetic 153.

This year - mine was rather simple. Steamboat with my friends & family, get wasted and making my neighbours angry. LOL. Will talk about this later..

I never really knew the true meaning of Christmas. I used to feel that it is just a holiday, the stunning X'mas tree, beautiful decos everywhr. Snow. Santa, and the list goes on. Oh yah, not to forget that it was Jesus's birthday. But how does it evolves till the X'mas today? I have no idea.

Have never celebrated X'mas properly before. But this year I experienced what they call - The Season Of Love & Giving.

Just to round up what I was up to this month end! The Malaysian Nuffies came down and the bonding session was great! 3 days full of activities!! (Just when I thought this should be a short post.. but the fingers can't stop, so here we go!! *BAM*)

We had..

Shaolin Bowling!!

... And because our team did so badly, I decided to remove/delete evidence off the system! But evil Ming knows that there is no way that we can fool him! So, he printed rock hard copy of the scores..


Image and video hosting by TinyPic


Next on, we had a sumptous dinner by the beach @ ECP!!


Image and video hosting by TinyPic

Image and video hosting by TinyPic

Yummy Chicken Wings & Satay!! (Plus 1 Kg to my weight...)


************

May I ask, when is the last time you went to a Zoo? Mine was aeons ago, and I couldn't really remember... perhaps during school excursions! And here we are, just a short distance away from the hungry white tigers *ROAR*

Image and video hosting by TinyPic

Uh, I mean Ah Ming. LOL!


***************


Later in the day, not sure of what exactly happened, but the harmonious Nuffies became sworn enemies! My guess was that some probably got brain-washed by Ming the mastermind..


Image and video hosting by TinyPic

And so to guard against the evil side, we are all geared up for a battle of paintballs!! *PAM PAM PAM*

Image and video hosting by TinyPic

Ok, I admit I was hit, but overall it was a very fun experience!! Also, I guess it depends on individual on whether you will get bruises ;P

****************

After the lost battle (whoops!), we rushed back home and get ready for the musical of the night!! For the very first time, I saw Snow White & The Seven Dwarfs for REAL...

Image and video hosting by TinyPic


Apparently this musical burst my bubble... Cos' fairytales are lies..


Image and video hosting by TinyPic
(Cherie & the Queen)


As you can see.. not everyone in that magical world is beautiful -.-


**********

And we chance upon this gigantic christmas tree during dinner one day!!

Image and video hosting by TinyPic

At the center of Ming's house, somewhat similar to one in a shopping mall. Insanely beautiful!



Image and video hosting by TinyPic

Wennie playing her piano while Ming and his Mom is preparing a splendid and sumptous dinner for us!! Totally Yummy..

And we watched "YES MAN!" after that which I slept..

Was simply too tired after a whole day's of activities but definitely had great fun and bonding with fellow colleagues..

The next post would be about my secret santas and pressie exchanges!! Stay tuned!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

Nuffnang retreat + party! @ 5:44 PM

This blog is so lack of updates! That's because I was so "busy" with Nuffnang Retreat and Vpost X'mas. The past week is a mixture of fun, joy, sharing, love and tiredness. But it is all worth it! While I am consolidating all the images, shall give you a little teaser and loving picture of me and Kenny taken during the party! Hohoho!



And next on, The Nuffnang Family..

The earliest X'mas pressie @ 5:56 PM

Yah, call me a kan chiong spider. I'm just can't contain my excitment!

HOHOHO! Santa Rain-y is coming to town~ *jingles all the way* ROFL

Went X'mas shopping yesterday with Wennie & my brother. The Malaysian Nuffies are coming down on Wednesday and I've yet to finish purchasing my stuff! I'm just like 30% done only. Whoops!

One day after watching Bolt with Kenny, we saw this briefcase in Cathay which caught both of our eyes. The apparels and outlook of the store looks expensive and so we did not bother to ask for the price. His eyes were sparkling upon looking at it! *Jeng jeng jeng!*

The season of giving would mean a deeper meaning for us. A season of love and sharing. That gift of mine to him definitly ought to be thoughtful. Like I've updated you guys before, he just got a job here in SG. With the help of Wennie, I've decided to get him a briefcase! That leads me to think of the one I saw at Cathay.. and ..

Ta-Dah!




Good quality ok! HAHA!

And yes, just like my boss, the impatient me got my honey boy the earliest x'mas pressie!

Powershot, powerlove! @ 7:45 AM



Have always wanted a decent camera. The urge grew bigger after joining Nuffnang, after I started blogging. I wanted so much to log down those memories. Most of the time while waiting for my friends to send me photos, I probably forgotten about what happened the other day. Most likely due to laziness & short term memory!


HA! Today I received the best birthday gift ever ( I know my bday is like weeks ago). You probably guessed it now, a camera! - the latest Canon Powershot E1!! Yes yes the one which waves to you exclaiming"Cutesy is me!". I'm super overwhelmed and the inner me is bursting with happiness and roaring out loud, I SUPER LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!



My thoughtful darlings got me rechargable batteries and a 4GB memory card! I can snap snap snap snap snap till no tomorrow!! Tee-hee!



(top- brother; bottom- cbb)

*clears throat* CBB (P/S: It's not a foul language, this is how I call him) you better don't hide one side hor! My birthday act never give me pressie har... luckily I never ask from you if not how you answer! lol. Somehow Wennie infiltrate to CBB (they have never met before) and got him to have a share for the camera!! Thanks Buddy.




My sincere gratitude to all Nuffies who have contributed esp to Cherie, Wennie & Ming. Muack muack to Cherie cos you've got such wonderful client if not the camera will be so ex and i couldn't ask more for such expensive gift ><"! Muack muack muack to Wennie who went all the way down to Canon office! Ai si ni! Ohh~ I am in such good mood now! A super huge thanks to Ming for the KTV session! You are the most passionate singer ever! Also the coolest boss ever! I guess the only way I can express my gratitude is through Nuffnang, hope you get what I mean ;) Adding one more to the list, my brother, who needs love! :X



Last but not least, the guy of my life, Kenny! I need not say much, you knew everything in your heart! Love you!


**************************


My group of secondary friends celebrated my bday, Jave's & Kevin's, 3 weeks back. Seeing that now we have embarked on our career path, I hope that we can still confide in each other like back then. Thank you all!

This year's birthday is definitely one of my happiest ones. On the day itself, my family, close friends and Kenny were there at the strike of 12. Not flamboyant and exaggerating, but sweet and heart-warming!

Next year is gonna be the golden key 21. The end of all restrictions, the start of freedom - sparks the adulthood, shadows the frustrations!

(This post is actually kinda late, but I'm even later for the pressie shopping for my 2 secret santas! Off to shop!)

That. @ 9:20 PM

I was clearing my desktop and hesitating to whether delete off the document titled "Coaches". That was a list compiled by Wennie (I decided to change her name cos' it looks nicer with -ie than -y) and stored in my comp for my frequent use.

Those frantic moments when I couldn't get a coach back to Malaysia during Thursday night or Friday afternoon, hoping that someplace somewhere I can just hop on to any lok cock bus, doesnt matter how lousy the suspension is, and just GO!

That is how that document comes in handy. I still remember my phrases to every of the coach services I dialed, in that kanchiong tone. Always and never failing, there will be that single seat there just for me ;) You must trust me, it is super difficult to do last minute booking. Hehe.

Now, that document probably gotta rust in my documents folder for quite some time. Hopefully, to not use it anymore.

Sense of peace @ 7:45 PM

Still, that simple sentence of yours comforts me this noon. "A lot" would have a much more value and significance. Also thanks to that, the distractions went away..

and i could happily be myself till the end of today ;)

As i reflected back to my previous 2 relationships, I thought I was too immature to handle it well. It was by faith that we have come this far, and by faith we shall continue down this road..

Someone told me-

Women are emotional, they do things by their heart.
Men are logical, they do things by their mind.

How true is that?

Get a life, baby! @ 10:11 PM

My obsession with you made me skipped my daily interests.. *laughs*

Forgetting where I've stopped watching my dramas..
Mind block during surfing
My gaming addiction
Imba downloading (ohh i so love it still, just a lil dull lately, hello RS still alive?)
Meeting my friends (not again another MIA period?)

And also sadly, Mahjong - distracted (cos' I'm just thinking of you so much that I forgot to pong!)

But no worries! In a short while, I'll re-start my quest! lol.

That biblical poster in the room seems like God's message to me. Was repeating the sentence again & again in my mind but couldn't take my eyes off it..

“Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no records of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.” 1 Corinthians 13:4-8

This sentence will allow me to reflect upon myself in the next 12312312 week/months/years until I fully able to accomplish all of it! Today I felt guilty..... when I realised that in fact I am just starting to really understand you after 2 years. Geez.

I want to brainstorm for the best X'mas gift ever...

Two bored-to-death girls and a dog. @ 3:25 PM

The bad habit of sleeping at peculiar hours runs in my family. Spot the only lighted house amongst the other pitched-dark windows, that should be my room light.

The mails came with one titled "Santa Secret". *Jeng jeng jeng* as I scrolled down, the bracketed name stood between the lines. Next thing I thought, this chrismas is gonna be interesting..

Wenny and I awakened by irritating scruffy who badly needs company. I was telling her last night about how boring Singapore can be. All you can do is to have dinner after a day's work, if nothing else to do, probably catch a movie. Done that with Kenny last night, today is another brand new day you gotta start cracking your brains on what to do. Since he always wanted to good rest out of the hectic weekdays of work. I thought we should rest at home.

Understood that he was under a lot of stress lately, instead of nagging him not bringing me out! I should probably do the opposite to make him feel that he is blessed to have me! KEKE! The oppose psychology!

Cook yummy dinner + 1 hr of massage + just chill and relax @ home...

Wenny is craving chicken essence and i'm craving for MJ..

*yawns* time to get my lazy butt of this chair..

Almost there! @ 12:53 AM

I admit that it was wrong of me to ever doubt God. And I ask for Your forgiveness.

The most precious and valuable gift sent from above on my birthday- the work permit Kenny received. It sparked the start of hope and certainty. However, a completely new life which I have never expected to become.

Gained and lost some. Depending how you look at it. Am very thankful for all the advices from concerned love ones. We are growing and these setbacks will make us stronger. Like some have said, the phases of life, all couples will have to go through it. I believe Kenny and I are about 80% there to the end of this phase. We have finally waited for this day to come. God let this miracle to happen and it is up to us to work things out perfectly ;)

He used to always wanted me to blog about him, so here it is!

From me to him

It has always been so wonderful to be with you. Even for today, it was more than ever. I could sense it, without you telling me how your love for me have not changed. My faith will be present, just like how it was for the past 2 years.


It is Christmas again. Remember that picture we took infront of Central's xmas tree? We are going to go back every year end to snap the exact same picture with the different xmas tree deco

*draws on your palm!*

Like I've said so many times before, God has given me great friends (the forgetful lousy pok who always forget where she puts her phone, the authoritative boss who denies an english name, the pathetic guy who dreaded NS life hoping that he can chao geng MC for the entire 2 years, the dumbo guy who almost broke my room door, the silly girl who hopes that she can just kill off her client, the happy-go-lucky who dreamt of swimming with salmon) whom I can count on, a job which I do not mind working hard for and lastly the miracle which struck me unexpected with a near 0% chance..

Ought to be thankful and believe that there is a reason for everything happening to you..

P/S: WATCH BOLT IN THEATRES! I AM SURE YOU WON'T REGRET!!!!! 4/5 stars!!! (Just thought nothing is perfect, so I gave a star less ;P)

No more emo post @ 12:29 PM

OKAY! No more emo post.

I'm passing the phase of change.

It is so wierd. Usually couple goes through the transition of..

Friend > Dating > Domestic Partnership

But my relationship seems to be different. When we first started out, we are already in the phase of Domestic Partnership.

Now that everything has been stablised, meaning him back in Singapore for good. We have decided to have a brand new life. At first, I wasn't really comfortable with that because everytime we met up for a certain period of time (usually short), we will try(we always do) spend ALL of the time hugging and smooching. Nah, doing all kinds of dating stuff whenever we can.

Since he is back for good, well we gotta take things slow already. It is funny to say that our phases are like the opposite:

Domestic partnership > Dating > HOPEFULLY NOT BECOMING FRIENDS AGAIN!?

LOL. But isnt it a fun thing to be back at dating times and being honey honey? ;)

I love you darling boy!
