Work work work!

Can't believe that I'm starting work in about less than 48 hours' time..

While on one hand, I'm trying to keep optimistic and look forward to the new work place, on the other, I can't help but feel slightly depressed that I'm going to start work soon... Heh, the irony of my human nature...

But seriously, time flies so quickly that even now Grace's wedding has come and gone. It wasn't so long ago that when she first announced their plans and we started getting real excited about everything. It seem like just yesterday that we had her bridal shower, and were doing up her wedding stuff.

Anyway, here are some of the pictures from her wedding! Hee...

Weddings, Weddings, Wedding...

Sleigh bells ring... Are you listening??

Oppsss.... I mean wedding bells...

Haha, this week has been alot about weddings... Gracie's Hen's night, Gracie's wedding preparations, hearing things about weddings everywhere... With Dannie's and Yilin's, Cindy and Chuang Syn's, Weiliang's, Elaine and Gary's, Catherine and Dennis', expecting Eileen and David's... and Dom and Charm's!!

Have also been asked to be Dom's and Charm's bridesmaid.... Hehehe... Am pleased and honored actually...

If you guys don't know yet... I love weddings! I love doing wedding decor... I guess I still want to be a wedding planner deep down inside me!!! I love it I love it I love it!

Spend some time today with Trish, doing up the bird cage for Grace! Hehehe... It's just so exciting... Yups! You read right... We're doing up a bird cage for Gracie in place of an 'Ang Bao Box'. We just spray painted it White today... However, as the stupid spray paint takes supposedly like 4 hours to dry, we intend to continue with the decorations tomorrow...

Am also looking forward to doing up all the corsages for Gracie's wedding... Have done up one prototype... It now holds the stamp of approval and I shall get to work on ALL of them soon.

Will post pictures of them up when they are ready! Most exciting this is! :)

Taiwan...

Have been meaning to blog about my Taiwan trip... But I guess the plan deviated because of more important issues.

Yet now in retrospect, I seem to have lost the thoughts that I have planned to write down in the blog about the trip.

Overall, I would just say that the trip was a really good 7 days get away... gave me time to settle myself down and chill out before heading back to working life.

However, am really impressed with Taiwan's toilet cleanliness... Haha... I know that should be the last thing to talk about but no kidding when I saw most of the toilets that I visited neatly tiled and well maintained.

Anyway... moving on...

We had a Hen's night for Gracie yesterday. I was most proud of her for she was undeniably sporting and gave in to our whims and fancies. In fact, she provided us with a fun night of entertainment and I would like to thank her for it. She did everything we asked her to... from wearing the top that we did up for her... with words like "Quick grab me!", to doing a catwalk right in the middle of "Wild Rockets" where we were having our dinner, to getting strange guys' numbers, licking lychees out of Martinis, to serenading to a guy that we met at No. 5 over at Emerald Hill. Thanks to Kelvin as well, for having a part to play in the whole game... For making Gracie do a forfeit for everything question that he answered wrong! Hiakz hiakz...

Single and Available!!! (7 days left...)


Quick Grab Me!!!


Cornering Kelvin...


Evidence of Gracie's Sportsmanship...


She sure cheered me up a great deal... Thanks babe!

Oh well, heading off for dinner in a while... laterz! :)

Living a Life...

Wonder what's wrong with my Hello S/W these couple of days.

Haven't been able to log on to upload some photos onto here... Guess I'll just wait patiently for it to start working again....

Anyway... moving on...

Spent a rather nice morning with Rach at Sentosa today. Yeah, actually moved my lazy butt and got out onto the sand, sun and the sea.

Made potato salad at 2am last night to bring along to Sentoda today. Baked some Pan Pacific Bratwurst sausages and together with Rach's bacon and cheese sandwiches, those pretty much made up our lunch.

Spent some time baking ourselves on the sand and I was rather perturbed by the fact that I don't seem to be able to get tanned! While Rach turned as red as a lobster in a matter of minutes.

We were enjoying ourselves, and the silence as we gave each other space to our own thoughts until this odd guy came along. He was walking up and down the beach, near to us, and another couple of girls.

His presence got kinda irritating as he was obviously checking us out. Reach a point when we couldn't take it anymore and decided to pack up and leave.

After a quick shower to wash off the sand, we went on for a drink and shared a Italian salad between the two of us! Haha.. that's what I call life... Got to really treasure the 2 weeks I have before I start work.

After which, we proceeded to Tiong Bahru and walked around, before heading to NTUC to grab some groceries and shop for dinner. Yeah, I was supposed to make dinner... Decided to settle for spaghetti (Angel's hair, tomato puree, minced pork, sausages... It was only later while I was cooking that I realised I left out my favourite SHRROOOOMMMSS!!!!)

Spent the rest of the evening chilling out at Rach's place playing mahjong and watching Hong Kong drama serials...

Really felt like a Tai Tai today... However, I can just imagine that if I were to do this everyday for the rest of my life... or for 1 whole week, I'll go berserk!

But in the mean time, I'll just lick up all the delicious treats that I have for now... and enjoy every single taste of it. .. :D

Some things I got to do...

Attended Ken's church service today...

Sunset captured on the plane back to Singapore from Taipei...


It was really heart breaking and really sad... I couldn't stop my tears from flowing when Ken's friends were giving testimonies about him...

A spark in the lives of people who knew him... Always so cheerful, and popular because he's so approachable and easy going.

Images of him kept appearing in my mind during the service and I felt truly saddened. I'm going to miss him...

Doesn't help that he's the only son, only child, and my heart ached for his mum, Aunt Helen. Through the service, I found out that the 3 most important men in her life, all passed away due to heart attack. How much tougher can it get for a woman... I cannot imagine.

Found out so many things about him today. How he's actually so involved in church... his involvement with the kids... How highly his friends thought of him... I was very surprised that his funeral service was so crowded. He's truly Mr Nice.

Realised that there are actually so many things that I don't know about him. Would have loved to know those things about him... and be a friend, instead of one who solely interacts with him on a work basis.

Makes me realise that there are so many people around me that I should treasure more. That I should take more effort in understanding and finding more from.

This is something that I have to do...

In loving memory of Kenneth...

Two days back, I received a most shocking piece of news...

A very dear work associate passed away in KL. And I was in Taiwan...

I couldn't believe my eyes when I read the SMS sent to me by one of my ex-colleagues...

I can't believe that all I have left are memories of a very very nice guy... Kenneth...



Sheri, Ken and Des...

I will always remember how you have always been so nice to me...
I will always remember how you have always been there to solve my problems for me...
I will always remember how you always play the songs I like during set-ups...
Most of all, I will always remember how concerned you were everytime I am feeling discouraged or stressed out...
You were a comfort to me and a pillar of support everytime you run my shows...
It's too late but from the bottom of my heart, thank you...

New Beginnings... Again!??!

Woooowwwwwww...

The last time I touched this blog was eons ago... and no, it's not that I've lost interest in documenting my life... or at least part and parcel of it, but it's more of the fact that I got lost in life for a little while there...

Gained loves, lost loves... old job, new job... old colleagues, going to be new colleagues... So many things to look forward to.

I can't help but tell myself that it's time to let go of all unhappiness and move on in life again.

It's my last day at work today!!! Can't help feeling like "I believe I can fly......"

I'll be baaaaaaaaaaaaacccccccckkkkkkkk..........................
