the weather in singapore these days feel like cameron highlands lor...
then why am i still going there?!
strange weather these days..
~~~~~~~~~
It's been some time since I watched 女人我最大 on tee bee as i was really busy with my ROM preparations. Yesterday I watched and it made me very very tempted!! *shouldnt have watched it* and it is so coincident that a ladiesfirst spree is on now! time to get myself some birthday presents.
Spreeing days are back!
thinking about this Albion 化妆水 they recommended.. they were saying that it's the bestest of the best 化妆水 they ever used. I really want to try leh =(... but i heard it's pretty pretty expensive
will get it when i come back from singapore.
anyway it's available in singapore hurray!
Other things I've ordered.
curling tongs may be very difficult to use.. will try this and see if it's better. ordered 2 packs! it better be good.
another kind for the fringe
and some other stuff... hee
bought a mini rocking horse too. so cute~
it's actually an incense stick holder.. not those 拜神 one hor..hur hur.. it's for aromatherapy. Bringing this to cameron highlands!

We had a SUPER lazy weekend.
We did nothing much except eat and sleep and the cycle repeats. haha
Edited and uploaded our Part One of the 3 part series of Behind the Scenes of our ROM. The original video was about 1 hour of raw video from ninetrogen and I decided to select some of the nice parts to upload onto the web.
very proud of myself! hahah
although it's pretty amateur editing but still.. =p
had quite a fun time adding transitions, titles and selecting the scenes.
Will only show the professionally edited video by Ninetrogen on my Actual day..must have some 神秘感 kekeke. so in the meantime, i will work on the behind the scenes video =D
It's under the audio/video album here!

Actually I watched 200 pounds beauty before on the plane, it was such a touching story that i cried and cried. The man beside me must have thought that i was crazy.
Anyway, i wanted darren to watch it cos the lead actress is SO PRETTY! and the story is really GOOD.
we watched the dvd yesterday. Definitely worth watching & crying for.
This song is currently on my playlist and repeat mode!
so touching and if you sing it, u just become overwhelmed by the sadness of the song even if you dont understand it. Hope the song touches you too..

Star
the wind is shaking the windows,and over my small room,
the stars fill up the sky, shining brightly too many to count,
the stars reassure tired me
they wipe away the many tears that are deep inside me
don’t be hurt too much..they hug me tight and pamper me
and comfort me,
telling me to go to sleep
though I’m exhausted to the point where I can’t walk
though my tears blur my vision
I’ll still smile in front of my love that I’m not able to get
Even though our happy times were short, I’ll treasure it deep inside my heart
like those countless number of stars, forever
My dream is coming. though it is unusual that my one star is bright
it is very bright, even blinding..it comes down to my shoulder
stop being so sad..it holds my hand as it touches me
and gives me a warm hug
though I’m exhausted to the point where I can’t walkthough my tears blur my vision
I’ll still smile in front of my love that I’m not able to get
Even though our happy times were short, I’ll treasure it deep inside my heart
like those countless number of stars, forever
Only for today, I won’t cry though my eyes fill with tears
I want to laugh like those stars
Oh~ I want to cherish all my happy moments deep inside my heart

We booked our accomodation too late. Popular hotels were already fully booked =(
Strawberry Park Resort - FULLY BOOKED

Called them and there are still rooms available but i'm still harbouring hopes of finding a decent hotel which is near the town area.
Wish me luck!

Received something from Okaasan
She handmade something for me as my ROM pressie to give to my closest friends, just like what a real mummy would do. Really touched.
They are cube sugars and all handmade. total 12 boxes of them. I can imagine the time spent and they are too beautiful to be put into any kopi! or tehsi!
So I went out in search of a gift for her!
Wanted to get her a brooch but I think me and xinderella bought her a brooch previously. Then I came across a chunky necklace from TIBET (the salesgirl claimed it's from tibet)
*zun bo*
you better dont let me find the words "make in thailand" in fine print somewhere hidden at the back of the box horrr.
Anyway I thought it's a nice necklace as Okaasan is someone who is very fashionable and likes chunky necklace. Hope she likes it.
Look at it~
It's a piece of ART cannnnnn~
*tell me it is*
-__-
Wanted to order her some orchids too.
Let me just figure out how. keke

Yesterday was my last day with the company.
I ordered cuppies for everyone!!
Just so happened to think of getting them cupcakes to thank them as i have been treated to alot of lunches during my notice period.
wanted to order from bubblygal or cupcakemomma but i guess they can be quite fully booked cause my decision was pretty last minute and they are really popular! So decided to order from ~ cupcake divinity ~ Ordered 16 bananas and 16 chocolate cupcakes.
The result was quite cute! and everybody loved it. Thanks lynn for the not-so-sweet cupcakes
The words written are thanks... thanks to all! for these 3 years! will miss you guys =)hee hee
we had fun eating them and posing for peektures! in the pantry. oopzz
was still in a happie mood cos finally i have a chance to move on with my life.
shia hwa and me
jaseline and me
posing with the cuppies
more interesting pose!
my all-time lunch buddy
But nearer to 5.30pm.. i started to get teary.
oh gosh, it was a teary farewell after all. Maybe they were tears of joy hahaha
=___=
kiddingzz...
I guess humans do have feelings after all. 3 years together with all my dear colleagues and bosses. Although there may be disagreements in work, but there are nice people out there too. I only managed to say goodbye to my boss and my department colleagues.. Didnt say goodbye to the rest cause I know I may just breakdown any moment so I left before i make a scene and become emotional.
Had a great dinner after that at Jumbo Seafood restaurant with Marcus and Goh. =D Mr Goh treated us to a nice dinner as a farewell for me.. very touched.. cause the dinner turned out to be quite expensive. Congratulations too! for the promotion! happy for you =D
main crabby role
Group picture
Fun poses.. =D

Our first weekend as Husband and Wifey!
and we did what most husband and wife would do!
.....
we went IMM!
for aircon shopping.
and that's my 1st time to IMM..
=____=
After 28 years of non-aircon room, it's time for me to install one in my bedroom. We decided on a window unit since we will be staying here from 2008 onwards to wait for our new flat to be ready in 2009.
Quite an experience shopping in IMM.. the rule of thumb is to go further and ask for more quotes. The further we went, the cheaper it became. The aircon we were aiming at started from $589 from the first shop, $586 to the 2nd and finally became $577.80 at the 3rd shop! *installation included* mai tu liao no wonder the 3rd shop was so packed of people...
why we decided on carrier.. cos it's CHEAP... and easy to install!

Finally had time to blog!
Let's start from 27th June when we collected our ROM documents. =D
It was a bright wednesday morning and our appointment was 9.30am. There was a super long queue of people collecting documents. The officers were really friendly and briefed us on what is going to happen next.
We are supposed to sompah with our left hand raised while reciting some very very long legal stuff. Cannot remember what was written there. The officer said you only have to say it once in your life. hahah
Darren in sompah mode
We then went to fort canning to take some pictures but only one turn out nice as we were in a rush to fetch his mum =)
okay.. next.. kind Irwan came back from PERTH!!! with my LOOT!
