Happy Day.......

Today is a very very happy day for me.........

Opened my letterbox after a least 2 weeks to find chunk of letters and bills in it. So happy to see that the claim for my hospitalization bill was approved by Prudential and Medisave ,so after all the claims i only got to pay $5.51 =D

As i opened the remaining bills from SP services, Starhub and statements from banks, i chose to shove aside the letter from SIM believing it to be an invoice for the semester that i gotta repeat for one stupid module. I finally reached out for it reluctantly after all others have been opened and read. In it i found a letter which wrote:

Dear Student

We refer to the recent release of the overall performance in the final semester.

On behalf of RMIT and SIM, we would like to congratulate you on your successful completion of the B Bus (Mgt) programme. You may use either one of the following designatory titles in your business cards:...............................

I was extremely puzzled when i read till this part, why did they send me this letter when i did fail a module and have even went for the re-enrolment on the 17th June. I then checked for the date that this letter was dated....... It wrote "15th June 2010" Ok, now more blur... Did the school made a mistake and mail me this letter or what? I decided to call the school and i heard the most happy thing that i never thought i would have heard.

me: "hi, i received a letter to congratulate on my completion of studies whereas i actually failed one unit will be repeating it this coming semester"

Coordinator: "but your name is in our list for students graduating in Aug"


me: "i thought i failed one module and have got to repeat it?"


Coordinator: "yah, but you were granted a compensatory pass for it already, please check your email for more details"


me: *stunned for words* "huh?? i thought my appeal wasn't approved and i have even went for the re-enrolment session."


Coordinator: "it couldn't be wrong cos a number of students were granted and your name is in this list, unless you wish to opt out of it and re-take the module again


Me: *duh* "of course not!!! I am really glad that i can graduate! But please help me to double check again so that i can have a peace of mind. "


So super happy !!!!! i was still being upset a few days ago when my mother-in-law asked about my results, i embarrassingly told them that i still got to re-take one more unit. Now i can happily go take my graduation photos together with hubby and family of graduates!!! =P


Something random, one 'weird' poly mate of mine which i wasn't close to at all sent me a sms this morning. It read : "Hello its my birthday today so do u ve any wishes for me? Thks" =___=" Really began to wonder how weird can someone gets.

Other than this weirdo, one of my sec sch buddy Albert also celebrated his bday today. Thankfully being born on the same day as the weird guy doesn't make him a weirdo too. Haha!!

Happy Birthday Mr Chia !!! =)

Disapponted...

Gotta waste another half a year all because i screwed up 1 of my paper.... Have to spend at least $1k n waste another 5 months... Arghhhhhh!!! I hate myself for being too lazy and not studying hard enough. =(

No other choice now except to work extremely hard and manage my time well because i have gotta prepare for my upcoming wedding. Hope there won't be any clash in the dates! *praying very hard*

Speaking of my upcoming big day... i was still slacking around these days until someone (my wedding planner from the hotel) dropped me an email to remind me of the food tasting and to choose our wedding invites designs. We have got to go down and discuss on the table arrangement and themes soon, and up to date i have not even finalize the total number of tables i have. Suddenly feeling all excited!! n i am glad i am excited once again cos this feeling have somehow died off for awhile after i confirmed the hotel. Hahaaa... =)

Will be doing my studio and outdoor photoshoot in another 3 weeks time, and i hope the bruises from my surgery will go off by then. It really look horrible now and i am beginning to worry that i would look so ugly then. =(


As for now i need to do a few thing....

1) Finalized the guests list
2) Arrange for food tasting
3) Decide on the designs of the invites
4) Come up with a theme
5) Decide where to take my outdoor shoot
6) Help my sisters to 'chop' nice bridesmaids dresses before they are taken up
7) Pamper & beautify myself so i will be in my tip-top form on my big day.. muahahhaah

Hong Kong Trip....

Back home after a 6days 5nights trip to Hong Kong... Miss the cool weather cos Singapore is so hot and humid. I guess i have gained some weight due to the non stop eating these few days =)

Day 1:

Due to some stupid mistakes i made half a year ago while making the booking, we wasted our first day cos we only reached HK at 9pm. By the time we checked in, we head out to for our very late dinner then went back to the hotel to sleep cos it is already too late to shop around by then.

While waiting to check in our baggage

Metropark Hotel - 1 min walk from 太子MTR station

Day 2:

Day tour to various tourist attractions....

One of the famous Harbor in HK

Taking the cable car ride up to Ngong Ping 360

All the architecture displayed a strong China style, a very beautiful place with breath taking view =)

The super enormous Buddha statue sitting at the top of this super duper long flight of stairs, we didn't attempt to climb up cos the 3 elderly claimed that they wouldn't be able to take it =X

Went to their 女人街 for some shopping and went back empty handed cos we didn't had enough time to shop as it was already quite late when we reached. =(



Day 3:

We went to another of their attraction - Ocean Park

Had our lunch at this cafe overseeing the very very beautiful view. Love the atmosphere but not the food and the price. That meal cost us SGD$ 120 =(

Visited their 'underwater world' and is amazed at how interesting it is, never know that there are actually so many kind of different fishes in there.


The highlight of the visit to the Ocean Park is the dolphins show at the Ocean Theater, i felt like a kid once again. All excited when i saw the dolphins in their corners getting ready for performance. =P The show is awesome, but i had mixed feelings while watching them doing their stunts. I am happy and excited cos they are superb and very cute, on the other hand i am sad when i guess that they must have been starve so badly and will only be fed after each performance.

The scary rides

Was already feeling quite tired after the show cos of all the walking, the 3 elderly looked shagged too so we head to a 茶粲厅 for some drinks while hubby went to take some scary rides.Feeling bored while waiting for them,began cam whoring and trying out the camera different functions =P

Below are some random shots....

Exhausted Grandpa

After dinner, we went back to 女人街 again hoping to buy something cos up till the 3rd day we haven't bought a single items lor. Not much 收获cos it started to drizzle soon after we reached and most of the stalls start packing up. Sianzzzz....

Day 4:

Macau ... Alighted at Tsim Sha Tsui Station which is nearest to the ferry terminal, was delighted to find many shops selling branded bags. Quickly hop in to a few to check it out, was tempted to get something but at the same time was worried that they might not be authentic.

Checking for direction to the terminal

Off to Macau... was shocked to learn that all the shops there closed at 5pm. It was almost like a dead town by 6pm except for their casinos. There are 33 of them there lor, n as we gotta rush for the last ferry by 10.30pm we only spent 3 hrs in one of the casino. We went to Sands which happened to be the nearest one to the ferry terminal. Not a good experience cos we 'donated' money to the casino.. hahaaa...

Not very fluent with Cantonese can get us into trouble (Almost!!). I asked for direction: "Zhou Meh Che hui China Ferry Terminal (name of the ferry terminal)?" Guessed the auntie only heard "CHINA" and pointed bus lane 3. Luckily i double check with the driver and realized that bus is heading to China and not to the ferry terminal lor!! Heng !!! else i dunno how are we gonna get back to MongKok from there.

Day 5:

Random shopping at some malls and visit to Madam Tussaud's Museum, was so happy and excited to see my idol (Aaron Kwok) =D

Love him =)

Andy Lau =)

My grandpa with Mr Lee Kuan Yew

I look like a dwarf beside Yao Ming

The lady beside James Bond.. =P

View from the peak

Was reluctant to go to Temple Street for some shopping as we are afraid that we might be disappointed again. However, we were so wrong... We all love it so much, gotten most of our stuff from the stalls there. =) Love the foot massage there too, superb skills and i enjoyed watching the HK drama while massaging. The newly aired 谈情说案!! gonna go JB and get it soon.. hahhaa


Day 6:

Went to a 麻将馆near our hotel to pass time as we were all too tired to walk around anymore! It is really interesting to find so many of this kind of shops in Hong Kong, people would go in there and play with different people. We got a private room and soon enough we head to the airport and Home sweet home! =)


Overall, it was a very fun trip but as all expenses were on hubby and i, we spent quite a bomb excluding my losing in the casino. Total damage is enough for hubby and i to pay for our Europe tickets. =( Gotta chew on bread for sometime liao.. hahaa =X


Some random stuff to share... When we were checking out, my grandma told me something scary. She claimed that she wore the hotel slippers and remembered putting them beside her bed before she went to sleep. But when she was awake she couldn't find one side of the slippers, my grandparents searched the whole room for it and it was no where to be found. We have no idea where the slipper disappear and she is glad that it only happened during our last night there. =X

Finally finally finally.....

After 2.5 long years, i am finally done with schooling. Phew!! now i can only 求神拜佛 to let me clear this 2 papers and get out of school...

It is time to concentrate on planning for my wedding already. However gonna enjoy myself to the max first at Hong Kong in 2 weeks time. This trip is gonna be different and challenging cos i am traveling along with my grandparents and my mother-in-law. I have gotta plan itinerary which is suitable for them and also not to miss out on my shopping sessions. =P

While i am still lamenting that i will have to spend a lot for this trip cos those elderly expenses will be on Hubby n me, an angel came along and blessed us! Bro strike 4d and kindly sponsored my grandparents tickets and accommodations! =) Then another angel came by bless me while i am at Marina Bay Sands Casino... woohooo.... Now our HK trip is totally free with extra $ for shopping!!!! *hop around the house happily*

Very Lazy Me...

Been feeling so lazy recently, lazy to work, lazy to blog, lazy to revise for exam, lazy to do anything, even feeling lazy to repaint the door when it has been vandalized by the artistic Loanshark's runners, and of course i wasn't the one who owe them money! Our neighbor did and we gotta suffer along with them!

Thanks to them that i spent 3 hours sanding off the old paint and re-coating the first layer. @$#^#@!! Left with a second layer and we will have a fresh new coat of paint waiting for the artists to display their talents again. Honestly i hope they will just leave us alone! Haiz!!! 冤有头债有主！！

Another 9 more days to my exam and as usual i am beginning to panic =P I have to clear this 2 papers of mine and get out of SIM! Wish me luck!! =)

1st Gown Fitting....

Went for my gown fitting yesterday with hubby, Feli and Et as that pair wanna sign up a package for their very own wedding too.

Found a few gowns that i fancy and tried them on one-by-one, after trying on the 6th i am already starting to pant cos most of the gown are super heavy lor! Gonna keep myself fit so that i will be able to lug my gowns on my actual. =D

After 2hrs of choosing and changing... i finally decided on 1 wedding gown, 2 evening gowns and 1 outdoor wedding gown. Still considering whether to wear a kua or tea dress and whether to choose one more wedding gown instead of traditional costumes for my photo shoot. Another few more months to slowly consider before the photo shoot on my Birthdayyyy. =)

*Exciteddddddd*

I wanna stop time...

Time really flies...

It is already March since the start of 2010. I still vividly remember telling everyone i will be graduating in another 5 months time should everything goes smoothly. In a blink of an eye, i'm left with less than 2 months lor. I am already halfway through my 'last' semester O.O

Time really zoom past super fast! how i wish i can slow things down a little cos as the clock move faster my age increases too! =( How i wish i can turn back the clock to my childhood days where i lead my everyday life happily.

Decision Making Period.....

Life not gonna be the same as before anymore, gotta start building everything up from scratch again. Can see that dad is happier with his choice (giving up part of his biz which he painfully build up) and so we can only give him our fullest support. Revenue definitely won't be as lucrative as before but we have got no choice too. Nevertheless, i believe we will all be happier cos we can all finally do something we are interested in. Finally i am a step closing to my dream! =)

Now is the period for us to make decision....

What are we gonna venture into? Will it be profitable? Where to open our shop at? Where to get cheapest supplies? How much do we need to start up?

The 'us' refer to my sister and i, we are gonna do a joint venture. I will be continuing to help my dad with his remaining biz at the same time... My bro already got his own partnership with friends which is currently doing ok so not much of a problem for him. So may everything goes smoothly for us ya! =X

Biggest scare of my life......

9 Feb 2010 is the most unlucky day of my life....

Met into an accident just as i was leaving my office, there was this very big lorry in front of me who stopped at the stop line. While i was waiting for him to drive off i turned and talk to my sister and when i turned my head back after 5 seconds, the image of the BIG lorry got so near and big. Before i could hit the honk or do anything, it reversed onto my car. Haiz...... That driver called and informed his boss who happened to be our business acquaintance, decided on a private settlement. Case closed!!

Just when i thought my luck was bad for the day, i received a phone call during dinner at MIL place which scare the hell out of me. My maid called and asked if i have brought my dog (bebe) home? I was stunned for a moment and said "No"!!!! She then told me in a super anxious tone that bebe is not anywhere at home and went on blabbering that bebe might have ran out when she left the door wide open to shift in the plants from outside. I cut her off her explanations and ask her to go search for her and i will return immediately.

I turned and told hubby that Bebe is missing and he thought i was joking cos my bro once played a prank on me. When i confirmed with both my brothers that non of them brought her out, i almost fainted cos this time is for real. When i told hubby that we need to go now, he told me this "You go first" then pointed to his rice. I was dumbfounded and stared at him with my jaw wide open. I cannot imagine that he still have the mood to eat when our dog is missing. He only realized that it isn't a joke when I burst out in tears.

When i was about to start running up the stairs to search for her, i saw my lil bro. He had just ran all the way down with no sight of her. I was disappointed but decided to try running up again. I called out her name continuously then i suddenly heard barking coming from a unit at level 4. We thought it was bebe and knocked frantically at the door only to frighten the auntie who hesitate awhile before opening her door. We were disappointed when we saw that it was not her.

Hubby began running up and i followed behind, just then i think i heard my lil brother shouting out to me "Da Jie, 我找到Bebe了" I paused for a moment before running to where his voice is coming from. While i was running down, i saw bebe in his arms. I broke down and hugged her so tightly. Both of us were trembling so badly. Everyone took some time to calm down as this incident certainly scare the hell out of everyone.

My other brother along with grandparents and uncle arrived shortly, they had initially wanted to help with the search but is glad that we found her. All thanks to this kind lady, who was walking her probably hoping to bump into us. She told lil bro Siang that bebe was caught in the rain earlier when she found bebe. I believed this lady must be a dog lover too, she cleaned up bebe and even wore a leash for her. I am truly grateful to her and regret not thanking her in person cos Siang just grabbed Bebe and ran off to inform me.

好人会有好报的!!! =) She will be blessed !!

I was telling this to them, am i really suay or are all these incidents actually blessing in disguise?? I had an accident but it was not major and no one was injured, dog went missing and i actually found her back. N not to mention that i was issued a $50 summon for that mere 10 minutes at my MIL place.

Oh well.... glad that everything is over.... For now, i just hope all my bad luck will go away with the end of this lunar year! May everything goes smoothly in the coming Tiger year!!

So Excited ah.....

Tomorrow is gonna be my 十三年的好朋友 Ting's big big day! Am feeling so excited and happy for her now. =)

Need to get enough rest tonight cos i need to charge up for a long long day tomorrow. Gotta reach her place early in the morning to prepare to tekan the groom n brothers. Hur Hur Hur.... Good luck guys!! *evil smile*

Shall update more on the wedding and post wedding party soon!

Tata =)
