Preparation for Wedding - Part 3

2010-09-25T02:00:00.000+08:00

Good news, I've gotten my photo album and all the soft copy back from the bridal shop. It's a surprise when we were there to choose his daddy's coat and his sister's dress as we were not informed that it was ready for collection. It's still a mystery as my hubby does not want me to post it out yet. But of course, I will negotiate with him for you people to preview it before 30 October 2010.

I'm going for a trial makeup tomorrow as Sammi, the makeup artist for my studio and outdoor shot, will be away to Korea on my wedding day. I really hope that the new makeup artist that they allocate for me will be as good as her.

I'm also going down to Whitelink again on 01 October 2010 to try my tea dress and also my sister's dress. I'm excited again because I can try all the nice nice dress on me. How I wish I can put them all on and take as much photos as possible but too bad it is just a wish.

Recently, I've been sending out my invitation to my guests to confirm their attendance. So far, I've already get full confirmation from my relatives and neighbours and have arrange their seating. This is so headache but I really enjoy the progress of planning my own wedding.

Juggling my Personal and Working life

2010-08-05T23:17:00.004+08:00

Recently I'm having a hard time juggling my personal and working life.

Let's start on my working life first.

I have two of my colleagues resigned and each of them transferred half of their portfolios to me. Though there was a proper handover but compared to handling it from the scratch, there is a big gap to catch up. I know they did their part trying to clear as much as possible before leaving but time was running out. Anyway all the best for your future endeavours, Fitrie & Germaine.

Other than those heavy workload, I'm also promoted. My designation right now is Corporate Secretarial Semi-Senior. I know it sounds funny and you must be thinking what's this. My boss said that in some of the accounting firm, there does have this position as Semi-Senior and it is a step away to being a Senior. So I must work extra harder to get rid of this weird designation. Hopefully by next year.

And now more of my personal life which is equal to my wedding preparation. After the photo taking and interview for the RP magazine and STOMP saga, I rested for quite some time. Around the last two weeks of July, my banquet coordinator (Carol) called to remind me to print the invitation cards and also to arrange for a food tasting session. With the motivation of Carol, we got ourselves back on the wedding preparation mood. We went to various tour agency to look for our honeymoon trip to Japan. And we did finalised our 7 days Japan honeymoon trip with Hong Thai Travel. We will be visiting Universal Studio and Disneyland / DisneySea. I'm so looking forward to see my favourite cartoon characters. Gonna take many pictures with you, Mickey and Minnie Mouse. And with this I shall round up my August schedule.

Preparation for Wedding - Part 2

2010-06-30T00:03:00.000+08:00

It's been a while that I last updated about my wedding preparation. Here I come.

I've been looking around to get a suitable dress for my sisters. And finally, I saw this dress online that suits my budget, colour, design and material. Without further hesitation, I ordered six pieces at one go. I hope it turns out exactly like the one I saw.

my sisters morning outfit

I also bought the materials for making the corsage. It will be made-to-measure and is to be hand-made by me. See, how nice I treat my sisters. I, myself like it too. Can I have one?

my sisters lovely corsage

So much about my sisters so what about his brothers. He had decided on the brothers outfit. Actually nothing special, guys as usual are shirt and pants for such a formal event. The colour of the shirt is purple and he is also getting a matching tie for them too. We will be out shopping for them this weekend.

We are also having our first official meeting with the helpers this Saturday. I'm sad to say that many of them can't make it but we will carry on with our plan and do whatever we can first. We had already noted down the agendas and draft the actual day itinerary for further amendments. Seems like we are well prepared but there are still lots of things awaiting for us to settle.

So Sick, Poor MinMin

2010-06-16T17:53:00.000+08:00

Finally I'm recovering from my virus infection. Accordingly to Doctor Ang, I caught virus from SGH when I visited my dad over the weekend. And I've to suffer till last Monday to consult the doctor. I'm downed with fever, flu and cough. And my highest record was 39.3°C. I'm so afraid that I might burnt my brain. I was being quarantined with my Laogong for two days because he was ill too. We don't even know who was looking after who. Hehe..

Since last week, I sleep early almost every night and I lost my appetite. Is it a good or bad sign?

Perhaps it is a good sign for me to keep healthy and lose weight. I really hope I can slim down by October for my wedding so that I can be the prettiest bride. To my dear friends, do not worry I will slim down the proper and healthy way.

Lastly, thank you for your care and concern during that period. Muack..

Happy 23rd Bithday To Me

2010-06-03T22:03:00.000+08:00

Back from all the pre, actual and post celebration.

To all my friends, thanks for all the birthday greetings and presents.

my lovely presents

On the eve of my birthday, I went to have dinner with my secondary school classmates at Bishan de Manhattan Fish Market followed by prawning. Though I didn't caught any but at least I have this group of friends to accompany me. We ended around 2am and everyone headed home immediately as they had to work the next day. I know you all were tired but for the sake of me, you all endured through.

On the next morning when I was awake, my Laogong presented a bouquet of sunflower. It was my long awaited gift from him. As usual he cooked 面线 for me with an egg, drumstick and not forgetting my favourite crab stick.

After lunch, we prepared ourselves and headed to Vivo City for movie, Shrek Forever After. It's a nice fairytale and they stayed happily ever after. After the movie, it's time to report for our dinner at Valley Point de Dozo. It's our first fine dining experience and it turned out to be good. Service, ambience, location, food and drink 10 out of 10. After that we met our friends for dessert at Dempsy de Ben & Jerry.

A simple movie, a simple dinner make my day. Thanks Laogong.

Laogong & Laopo

my 23rd birthday

For my post celebration, it was with my gal friends. We had the cabin seat at New York New York and giggles, gossips all the way throughout the dinner. And they bought me a cake, it's my first cake of this year. Though is late but appreciate for the effort. I don't know how but we eneded meeting my secondary school classmates. My gal friends and them are schoolmates so can link them together. At last we were at Mount Faber Safra bowling. We played till almost 3am then went home. Great, I picked up my skills again.

Lastly, I would like to thank my friends again and I enjoyed myself.

The rest of the photos can be viewed from my facebook.

Excited and Worried

2010-05-22T11:24:00.000+08:00

I'm looking forward to enjoy my last week of May. I'll be turning 23 this year and I'm ready to party. Party means celebration, too old to club le. I will update you people with photos real soon.

I've already got my first birthday present from my hubby which is a Ralph Lauren bag. The second one came from my colleague, a Chomel bracelet. Next is my yearly birthday card from JingWen. Will I receive more?

I've got mix feelings right now. Though I'm excited over my birthday celebration but I'm feeling worried too. Sad to say that my dad had to be admitted to the hospital for further observation due to his pain in his stomach. I'm currently in the ward with him right now. He seems to be feeling much better but we are still waiting for his results before he can be release. Everything will be fine.

Simply Lazy

2010-04-23T11:54:00.001+08:00

I'm simply lazy to blog because nothing big happen during this period.

Only that I saw Joanne Peh and Pierce Png at Changi Airport Terminal 3 de Coffee Bean. I've been seeing actors and actresses. Purely luck. Is this consider a big happening?

Recently I'm not so busy at work but quite busy with my wedding preparation.

I've been working on the slides to be shown on the day of my wedding. Trying to show my creativity in designing them but my brain is not working. Perhaps not in the right mood yet. Every now and then when I saw something useful for my wedding, I will note down.

Next I'm also attending to the application of flats. I had just applied for the Punggol Emerald and Waves. Other than that I'm also looking at a re-sale flat just directly opposite my brother. If the price is reasonable, I'll be my brother's neighbour and the celebration is that I'll still be staying at Henderson Crescent. It's my hometown after all. I hope my wish will come true.

Upcoming Events for the month of May

30 April : Surprise birthday party for YenShan with my secondary school classmates

01 May : Labour Day cum birthday party for KaiLi and ShiQing (it's a BBQ with his families)

08 May : Anita's 21st birthday party (she's my childhood friend)

De-Stress

2010-04-07T00:31:00.001+08:00

I met my secondary classmates this evening for dinner at 乐乐锅. It's a small steamboat shop located opposite Tiong Bahru Market. It's owned by an actor but is those small character. While waiting and enjoying our snacks, we saw the actors and actresses from the show 想握你的手 were there for dinner too. Especially the ladies were all so skinny. I'm paiseh to move forward to take their autography and pictures. I could only see them from a distant. So near yet so far.

Throughout the dinner, I don't think we had proper conversation, it's more like talking craps. After dinner, we shifted to Coffee Beans at Tiong Bahru Plaza. And we continued our craps there.

I noted that laughing is a good way to de-stress. I should organise more of these gathering to laugh and de-stress myself.

Many thanks to Leon, QinBao, Joe, YenShan and poor Kenneth in his clutches.

I'm sorry people, I haven't got my wedding photos yet. I will post them up once I got it, okay. Don't be disappointed, it's worth the wait.

Preparation for Wedding - Part 1

2010-03-22T13:02:00.002+08:00

19 March 2010 (Friday)

7.30am : Woke up, shower, breakfast

9.00am : Set off to Whitelink @ Kaki Bukit

9.30am : Reach Whitelink

We proceed to the second floor of the building for our studio shoot first. We were feeling excited especially me because I can't imagine myself in all the outfits that we've chosen. Before our photo shoots, Sammi make up for me for about an hour. After me, Laogong was next to make up. Haha, I kept laughing because it's Laogong first time applying make up. He looked different and me too.

After making up and changing, we moved to the studio and met our photographer. Our first impression of him is cool as he had his long hair bundled up that make him looked stylish. Soon after he started talking to us, he's a real joker man. He kept cracking jokes and I kept laughing non-stop.

Altogether I changed 4 outfits. For each outfit, I changed my hairstyle.

1st : Victorian

2nd : Cowboy

3rd : Wedding gown

4th : Evening gown (Red, my favourite colour)

I really love all my different hairstyles with all the different beaded head bands matched by Sammi.

In between our photo shoots, we did had our sandwich lunch prepared by Laogong. Green beans soup and fruits bought by Sammi.

We did our final touch up before setting off for our outdoor shoots. Throughout the journey to RP, Vincent continued to joke around and conduct a mini lesson about photography and BMW. It was raining and we were quite worried about the weather. We counted ourselves lucky because when we reached RP, the sun was shinning brightly at us. We were like aliens in the school because of the way we dressed. Forgetting about our looks, we continued to take our photos and ignored how people looked at us. The weather lasted till we finished our photo shoots at RP.

Our next destination is Changi Broadway. On the way there, it was raining again. When we reached Changi, the rain rain go away. The weather was breezy. We had our photo shoots at the beach playing with the sand and sea water. And with that, we ended our outdoor photo shoots and headed back to Whitelink.

Lastly I would like to thank

Jimmy the Coordinator - For choosing the right outfits for us

Sammi the Make up artist - For dolling me up to be the prettiest bride

Vincent the Photographer - For sharing his knowledge and enjoying the whole process with his jokes

Pandiyan & Benjamin the RP officers - For making it happen to have our photo shoots at Republic Polytechnic

WeiMing my Laogong - For preparing breakfast and lunch for me and being my partner for the rest of my life

Dear fans of HuiMin, I will be viewing the photos on 03 April 2010 so continue to stay tune for them.

went for manicure the day before the photo shoots

Dream

2010-03-15T10:21:00.000+08:00

You chosen me again when everyone is waiting for you to enter into their dream. Everytime you appeared, you came alive. I still can't face the reality that you are dead.

This time round, you asked all the young kids to give you something that looks like nian gao and you gave them $10 each. And you wanted us to distribute the bee hoon on the desk for everyone to eat. Next scene was at a shopping mall. You opened a door and disappeared right in my eyes just like flashlight. The next moment I couldn't find the door and locate you. Where have you been? The last scene was at a place like the crematorium, all married couple were in their wedding gown and suit. Nicely dressed with the rings on the desk awaiting to exchange vows in front of you. I really can't catch the meaning of the whole dream. What are you trying to tell me?

Anyway, thanks Grandma for leaving so much memory to me. You are always remembered. I'm missing you badly.

Happy Chinese New Year Day 8 - 15

2010-02-24T16:46:00.013+08:00

Day 8

Lunch and dinner with my family as my elder brother is flying off to China again for work. Back to normal with my mummy.

Day 9

Working as usual.

Day 10

Followed my Laogong to purchase his living room light as it was spoilt during the spring cleaning by his mummy. And as the made-to-measure men shirts shop is right beside the selling of the light, we went to make a tuxedo white shirt and a normal black shirt for our wedding. He will need it by 19 March 2010 for our wedding shoots. Stayed tune for our studio and outdoor photos.

Day 11

I'm on medical leave but I went back to office half day to clear some work before going back home to rest. So tired.

Day 12

Working as usual

Day 13

I had my company chinese new year celebration in office. Actually we were supposed to start at 3.30pm but my bosses were held up by a meeting with the Fengshui master. We are now in a situation whereby we either have to move office or to expand our office as our lease is dueling soon. I hope we don't have to move as I love where my office is located right now, International Plaza.

Let's say '3x Huat' during our toasting of the YuSheng, my bosses favourite word. Even the non-chinese also enjoyed the process. We ordered our buffet lunch cum dinner from Old Chang Kee cathering services. The portion was big and the food was delicious unexpectedly. So don't always think that Old Chang Kee only served finger food. Great, the event runs smoothly.

'YuSheng' before toasting

'Yusheng' after toasting done by my office ladies

After the event, I met ShengYi and Winson for a drink (non-alcohol). Been some time since we last met. Hang around till 12 plus then took cab home.

Day 14
Haha, I went to the NATAS fair but too bad I didn't managed to book my honeymoon as the itinerary for November 2010 is not out yet. So I've to wait for the next fair to enjoy the discount. Met AhDe, XiaoTong and Cherilyn to make spectacles and I made one for myself too. I bought a retro plastic matte spectacles. I shall post it up once I gotten it. Next we went to Hougang de NTUC Xtra to purchase our steamboat food. It was a last minute decision. As usual, we left over alot of food. Thanks to Weihong who bought the YuSheng to Laogong's home.

Day 15
Last day of Chinese New Year. No celebration with my family. So we planned to go Fullerton Square to take pictures of the sculptures that I saw on the newspaper. Next we went to Marina Barage to fly kite. So many people pinicing there and flying kite. This is my first time flying a kite with my Laogong but I'm more experience than him as I flied twice before when I was young. I hope I wont get tanned. I realised that actually it is quite romantic to fly a kite together with someone you love and it is a money saving activity.

Happy Chinese New Year Day 1 - 7

2010-02-18T12:25:00.019+08:00

It's been quite some time that I have not update you people as I'm always so busy.

Before Chinese New Year, I'm busy preparing to welcome the year of Tiger; spring cleaning my room, shopping for new clothes, marketing with mummy and so on.

And now, I'm busy enjoying my 15 days of Chinese New Year.

Day 1

Actually my family planned not to go out to 拜年 but we changed our decision. Left home around 11am and came back with 'AngBaos' and MacDonald lunch at 1pm. Within the 2 hours, we only visited two of my father's side relatives. Then I slacked at home till evening before I went over to my neighbour's house for dinner and gamble, blackjack. Finally, Laogong came to fetch me out for Valentine Day dinner and movie with AhDe, XiaoTing, Jonathon and his girlfriend.

They are my nephews, do they look alike?

Day 2
It's my turn to visit my Laogong's families, so I went to his AhYi's home. They also had a mini gathering so we stayed there till evening before proceeding to ZhiMing's home. I played mahjong and had dinner there. At 9pm, we reached 春到河畔 for walk walk and photo taking. To my disappointment, this year decoration was plain so we didn't take any pictures. And since it's only 12 midnight, they came to my home to continue our gambling session. We ended at 3am.

Day 3
My mummy invited her relatives to my home for a little gathering and big gambling. And it's day 3 without enough rest and my room, I'm already super tired. I'm too weak to entertain the guests. So I stayed in my parents' room to play Monopoly with AhDe, XiaoTing and Laogong. And the winner is Miss XiaoTing. Haha, too bad it's not real money.

Day 4
Business reopen and I've to report to work. I'm like half-dead, dragging myself to work. Luckily it's not very busy as some of my clients are still having their holidays. During our lunchtime, my boss invited the lion dance troupe to perform as it symbolises good luck and fortune to the business. And not forgetting to thank you my boss for the 开工红包.
After work, I meet my Laogong and we went to Yishun to 补运. Around 10.15pm, we left and meet ShaoQun & girlfriend at Loyang to 拜拜. Since we had not have our dinner, we went Changi Airport T3 de Kopitiam for dinner and coffee at YaKun. We were there till 12 plus, as if the next day, we are not working. How I wish so.

Day 5
Quarrelled with mummy. She said I selfish. So what if I'm selfish after all I chose that room to be mine. And why should I borrow her my comb, my shoes, my hairband to her? Though she is a guest but it's so unfair.

Day 6
Have you been to a chalet with 4 bedrooms with a living room, a kitchen and a porch for BBQ?Make a guess where is it? Yes i did, I was there with Cherilyn after my work and Laogong joined us later in the night. We played mahjong till 4am before going home to sleep.
The answer is Aloha Loyang.

Day 7
It is everyone birthday today. Happy Birthday! Are you celebrating it with your family to 'Lou Hei'?
Not for me as I went to Melody's birthday party in the afternoon. And we played; blackjack, monopoly and mahjong throughout the night. During the monopoly game, I learn integrity as my core value from a little girl (AhDe's cousin). So funny and cute, in the world of her own. I also took pictures with the balloons as if I'm the one who is celebrating my 21st birthday. Conclusion of the event, it was fun though my Laogong left me there for work.

My scandal and me celebrating my imaginary 21st birthday,
that was like 2 years ago.

My Sweet Dream

2010-01-31T21:54:00.007+08:00

Actually I'm supposed to visit my grandma at the temple on Saturday morning but I'm tired so I went back to bed. And there goes my dream ... ... ...

Dreaming Time

It was the last day of the funeral, all of my family members were at the wake. But I don't know why my grandma was not lying in the coffin instead she was lying on an automated bed just like those used in the hospital. She was lied slightly off to the end of the bed so my friend assist to carry her back to the right position. Suddenly, the bed was lifted to the sitting position so we thought we had pressed on the button accidentally. Without further hesitation, we faster pressed the button to put the bed at the resting position. And my friend left me at her bed side.

My face was not facing my grandma for a moment but when I turned back to look at her, her hand was at the side of her face. Then she opened her eyes so though she was not dead. Immediately, I called out to all my family members. Everyone greeted her and she acknowledged. I held her hand tightly and could described exactly that her hand was warm. And my dream ended.

When I was awake, I felt that though the dream was scary but the warmth of her hand was so real. It's like the way she held my hand before her death when I visited her. I won't forget the feeling.

Ah Ma, you will be remembered forever in my heart. I love you!

Management Styles

2010-01-30T17:55:00.004+08:00

I'm cracking my brain right now to do a 7 pages questionnaire given by my boss. Luckily my dictionary is accompanying me, if not I will suffer as my English sucks. There are altogether 4 sections and all the questions look similar. Help, help!!

Introduction

The objective of this exercise is to have a better understanding of how best to manage all of you. As mangers or supervisors, I trust that all of you understand that it's not an easy job. Each of you is an individual, thinks differently and has certain set of values and principles for work and to live your life. We as managers are the same.

In order for us to know what tick and what not, I will like all of you to seriously consider these questions before answering. Do be honest and provide the closest answers to what you feel inside. This way, we can then know and understand how best to communicate and interact with you better.

Section

1. Managerial & leadership styles

2. Rewards & recognition

3. Correction & discipline

4. You & your communication styles

My Legs Are Aching

2010-01-25T13:15:00.008+08:00

Chinese New Year is around the corner, every family is busy preparing for the festival but not my family. Though no celebration for us but I went Chinatown yesterday evening to walk walk and get the feel of it. I think I won't go there only once. Just like the previous years, I will be there with different group of friends. This year I started off with my Laogong, AhDe and XiaoTing. Maybe I was there late afternoon therefore not too crowded. I also went there to see see look look for my wedding stuffs. I think it's time to do some preparation le, had been lazy to think about it.

How long have you not been to the zoo? "Zoo" reminds me of a song. We're going to the zoo zoo zoo, how about you you you.. You can come too too too, we're going to the zoo zoo zoo..

And yes, I went to the zoo before Chinatown. We didn't visit all the animals as we were there six months ago. Must be thinking why we kept going to the zoo. It's because it's free entry up to 4 pax, company's pass.

It's a fruitful Sunday but I'm burnt and my legs are aching.

Don't irritate my pipi, Otter!

Goodbye Grandma

2010-01-19T22:03:00.022+08:00

Ever since my grandma moved to stay with my cousin, my mum had been visiting her everyday and took turn to look after her during the night time. On Sunday morning, 10 January 2010, while I'm still sleeping soundly on my bed, I received a call from my mum. She said that my grandma passed away on 7.15am. I'm emotionally sad but I stayed calm. I informed my brothers and my neighbours. Without further hesitation, I rushed down to pay my last visit before my grandma was sent for her final make-up.

I was there throughout for the whole preparation and ceremony. Everyone packed their feelings and prepared the best for my grandma. My grandma was worried that her funeral wake is not grand enough but my uncles and aunties tried to fulfill her final wishes. They bought her a nice coffin, ordering enough food and beverages and bands to play music on the final day. And most importantly a proper praying ceremony for her with most of her children, grand children, great grand children attending. I think it is not a matter of having a grand funeral wake for her, her "grand" means to have her total of 100 children, grand children, great grand children, great great grand children sending her off. But too bad, not everyone is able to see her off.

I didn't cried because I know it is ageing problem. Nature takes its place, people will get old and will leave the world someday. I may look emotionally stable however on the last day of the funeral, I kept going to my grandma to see her. I know this is my last chance. The moment the mortician shut the lid of the coffin, my tears rolled down my cheeks. Everyone stayed silent throughout till we reached Mandai crematorium. I hate to go through the process when your beloved ones being sent to cremate. Everyone burst out, crying out loud, including myself.

It had been 10 days after her death. Everything is back to normal. I should packed my feelings and work harder for the years ahead. She will be blessings each and every of us. 阿弥陀佛!

Preparation for 龍德堂大日子

2010-01-09T02:03:00.003+08:00

It's 2+am now, Laogong and me are still at AhDe's room. Guess what we are doing, haha. The guys (Laogong and AhDe) are preparing the auction item while the girls (XiaoTing and me) are doing the template and role for the day of the auction. This is just a small portion of the whole event. Conclusion is organising an event is tedious and tiring but I enjoy it. It's so fun.

Almost done. Yippy, going home soon. I need my bed now. Tomorrow, a long day to go.

My Dearest Gandma

2010-01-06T23:45:00.002+08:00

Before starting off, I wanted to give some general background about my grandma. Due to some family matters, she was brought to the old folks home. All of us knew that she doesn't want to stay there however we weren't given a choice. She stayed there for about 2 years. We see her aged and her health is getting poorer. The saddest issue is to see her swollen foot.

Finally my cousin can't bear to see her suffering so he decided to fetch grandma home and look after her by himself and his family. And she was sent to his home by ambulance yesterday afternoon. We are really thankful to him. Without him, my grandma couldn't fulfil her wish (which is to go home rather than ending her life at the old folks home). Usually older generation will have such thinking.

And so, my mummy had been visiting my grandma everyday as she sense that her days with us are countable. Today I also went to visit my grandma together with my mummy after work even though I'm tired. I'm afraid that it might be my last visit (sob sob). When I saw her, both her feet were bandaged, her eyes were closed (not because she is sleeping) and she could only drink. Her hands and legs were cold and her body was pale. My heart is aching and got the urge to cry out loud. But I know that my mummy is sadder than me so the more I shouldn't cry.

Yes, people will say that it is part and parcel of life but who bear to see their closest kin to leave them. I'm cherishing every moment with my grandma now though she doesn't know is her granddaughter beside her holding her hands. I hope those people reading my blog will also cherish every moment with their family before it is too late. Don't live with regrets.

Ah Ma, 你将会留下一个最完美的回忆在我心里。
