Some overdued posts...

Heh... Some of the stuff that I wanna blog about is long overdued... but it's better late than never I suppose... Moreover, one of the purpose of this blog is for me to note down things that I might wanna remember in the future... for moments of nostalgia... =)

Went to a really pretty place for lunch the other day with Mandy and Kris... Located at Central, it has a really pretty name, "Paisley and Cream"... The place has a really nice ambience but food's ok only... I though it was a little pricey though.. However, so happens that they are having a 30% discount of ala-carte menu items in conjunction with the Great Singapore Sale...

P.S. They sell alot of the pretty cupcakes too!




I think I've just been eating too much lately... All the rich food that I've been stuffing myself is simply unimaginable!!

Went to Graze at No. 4 Rochester with Danielle and Matt yest. It was partly to do a site recce of their wedding venue. Yes... am gonna be a wedding coordinator yet again... A very nice place... Pricey food but quality's ensured... Though it was a paid dinner, the General Manager was really nice to offer us dessert on the house and when the dessert came to the table, we got looks from the others beside us... our dessert consisted a sample of almost everything they have on the dessert menu!!


Anyway... after reaching home yest evening... I remembered that we were going to meet Celine this evening for dinner to kinda celebrate her really belated birthday... And it struck me that I haven't wrapped her present or anything... So I decided to take the short way out...

Stayed up a little later to do this up for her...



And I thought I wanted to wrap up her present too... but it was 2+am in the morning and I was too freaking sleepy... and this was what I meant by the short way out... =P

Lol... and NO, her present's not from La SENZA... To think of it, I really wouldn't know what to buy her from La SENZA... Heh...

Alritey... I guess I spent enuff time at work on this blog... =P Time to head back to what I'm supposed to be doing... More pix and updates to come! =)

Gobi!

And you wonder what's GOBI? Let me tell u more...

They are the most quaint, delicate and delicious dessert that I've come across...




Danielle bought these as dessert when we met at her friend's place for dinner yesterday night... They do not only look pretty, but they are absolutely heavenly! =) Perfect for those with a sweet tooth! =)

Our gift for Trish on her Wedding day...

Something that I put together for Trishy's wedding... Poem written by all of us the 'AJ Gang'... or so we call ourselves... =)


Trishy’s Montage





P.S. Oh well, this is the best I can get the player to fit and show almost 80% of the picture file... albeit the oddness of it all...Otherwise half the picture's missing from the window... Goes to show how much of an idiot I am at scripting... =P

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

More on Trishy's wedding...

And so the day came and went just like that... And do I have anything to say about the wedding? I have tonnes... But I guess some thoughts and memories of my friend's big day are best kept as sweet memories to myself.

However, I do think that the wedding went really well. It was a beautiful wedding... The best part of the wedding though, was not the luxury of the wedding or the pretty things... but rather, the chemistry that I see between the couple. I would say that they are really made for each other. They may not be perfect on their own, but they compliment each other very very well. Looking at them, I could see the level of understanding and communication that they share... and I guess when Trish said that Marky's her soul mate, I could see why... For once truly, I felt envious of a couple...

Heh... Happy I am, for the both of them, and I'm very sure that this is definitely a beginning of a beautiful life that they will be spending together for the rest of their lives... =)

Boo Hoo...



The picture says it all... Boo hoo! I failed the test...

While a part of me wasn't holding too much expectations on passing it the first time, I guess I'm always lousy with failures... It hit me harder than I expected... Din feel too good yesterday... haha...

Oh well, guess I got to try again... =)

Jitters...

Am waiting to take my driving test for the first time in my life later at 2.45pm. Would it be the only time or the first of a couple to come?

A question to which I have yet to have an answer....

Anyway, while I'm waiting for the later half of the day, I can't help but feel a little jitterrrrrry... Heh...

So wish me luck and watch this space for the answer to the question above...

I'm so tired!!!

I'm so tired that I feel like this...



I suppose it's cause of the late nights that I have been keeping up, trying to do up the photo montage for Trishy's wedding. But, I suppose for a good friend... It's worth it. Afterall, it's once in a lifetime (Traditionally and conservatively), that one gets married...

Work's so far been good... busy but I feel good. Would definitely have felt better if I'm not so tired and sleepy at work. There's alot to achieve and I'm really hopeful and hoping that I'll be able to achieve some of these that are set out for me to do.

People around me have been rather encouraging. It kinda feels good and right for now... However, I've been around enough to know that life's like a roller coaster... While you can anticipate, you never really know how it's going to be until you are at the peak or at the dip of the track.

Well, hopefully after Trishy's wedding this Sunday, I'll be able to have better rest and next week would be a better and more energetic week! =)

New cubicle...

Pretty much set up my new cubicle today... basically it was just a shift of all the stuff over from URA to here...

Was really expecting a laptop, so was a little dismayed when I saw a brand new HP desktop on my table...

I'm not sure if this determines my work scope, my working hours, or my mobility... Oh well... see how things go...

I'm actually quite lucky...

Despite all the griping about re salary and pay... I need to be reminded often that money is not everything in this world...

Quote of the day re a farewell party organised by my BOSS for me:

"OK - will be there by 7.30 then. Tks.

cc: Hope to see everyone there - the more the merrier! Doesn't matter if you "don't know" Zen, its never too late to get to know someone as nice as her."



*Sobz*... it better PAY to be venturing into the unknown... *sobz*
