WeiJie and MeiXi's wedding

16 May 2010 @ Holiday Inn Orchard
I love this place! The deco and feel is definitely different from all weddings I've went. The lightings are blue, the decorations are like those Icy cold feel. I felt like I was in a Fairy Tale Ice Castle. LOVE IT!! Even her picture montage was FANTASTIC!


The handsome groom and the gorgeous bride

SaiCheong and Us with The Stars of the Night

Interesting Table Piece

Close up view.. It sure does suit the theme..

Huge chandeliersI think there are about 30 tables..

Look at the wall!! Its sooo nice!!!


Good food too!

Our wedding favours..Cute right??

My table with the brothers (from BV) and the Jie Meis ..

~~Happiness after Mistakes~~

Few things happened lately at work that affected me quite abit.

Some misunderstandings, some good intentions that got back fired.

Somehow, what shocked me were the things I found out that led to such stuffs. Its disheartening but i guess that how working life is like. Everyone for sure would have been back stabbed by others before, but I still consider myself lucky because I have colleagues and bosses who believed in me, and clear things up for me.

Even my client was an understanding one..

Thank you all so much.. =)

***********************************************************************************

Went to our nest to take some measurements so that we can plan on how to design the place. Not much things to do actually because we want it simple and most importantly, we need more storage spaces.

Later tonight, I'll be attending MeiXi's wedding. Pictures would be up if i can find my camera charger..ha!

Meixi is my secondary school friend, we got close during band days, and closer during TP Rotractors days, where she got me to join a club which I still had no idea what it helped me in, but one thing for sure is that with her company of joining events during poly were more than FUN!!!

Just miss school days...time flies, I'm married, so is she. She's with her long time beau that was from our Sec School too. Sooo happy for them, really.

Wishing them a blissful marriage and of course, 早生贵子 =)

~~The effect of blood test~~

This is nothing as compared to this

~~The Next Move~~

Went for medical check up on Wed that is subsidized by SP. Its just a general check up whereby they will take your urine, stools, blood for test and gives you the results like weeks later.

Hubby was stuck at the blood pressure testing because his arm was too big for the cuff. Every time it expands, the Velcro snapped open and he needed to re-take it 3 times.. I was laughing at him and proceed on to the next station - blood drawing.

I was stuck at there: I went to this nurse and she told me to go to a phlebotomist because she could not find my veins on both hands.

The phlebotomist then did the same thing, tied both arms but could not feel anything, so I told her that previously, my blood was taken from my wrist area. After "feeling" for my veins, she then poke the needle in, no blood, she poked it deeper, still no blood. She then pull it in and out 3 times and STILL NO BLOOD!!! That was really painful lo!

Then she said that my knuckles have a very distinct vein, so she poked the needle in there, promising that it wont be as deep as my wrist. She poked the needle and ALSO NO BLOOD!!! I almost wanted to faint because I knew it needs to be poked deeper to have blood and I was already unconsciously squeezing the stress ball, that was given to me earlier, really hard.

After a deeper push, FINALLY got blood la!! I feel so relieved and she felt so happy. Actually, its not her fault la, she's not the first that couldn't find my veins..

Here is my poor "poked" hands and now there are 2 huge blue blacks.. -_-""


*************************************************************************************
Thursday night, we went for another house-viewing and headed down to Holland Village for dinner at this restaurant: Original Sin


The ang mo in the picture is supposed to look quite good but too bad, the his face was cut off. Ha!

The most expensive mineral water ever. $12 per bottle -_-"

OK, no food pictures, couldn't be bother to take the picture. I didn't realised that the restaurant only served vegetarian food until we ordered and eaten like almost half. Ha..

The food was not bad, Ambiance was good. A good place to go with your love ones.

*************************************************************************************

Saturday was quite a fruitful day. Hee..

Went out with the usual gang to Singtel at Comcentre and I found this:

IPhone cover!!

Please buy and support ya? The colour in the picture is abit off as compared to real life. Its more to the maroon purplish rather then brownish red like in the picture.

*******************************

And, the happiest part was that Hubby and I found our LOVE NEST!! Thanks to his agent friend: Alvin Kee (more to comment about him later below)

Its in between Commonwealth and Bouna Vista MRT, 5 mins to Holland Village.

Here's the picture I took yesterday:

This is the master bedroom

The 2nd room
The kitchen

If everything is in place in time, we would be able to move in in August/ September! Cant wait =)

We really need to thank Alvin for his hard work and not charging us any commission! He guided us step by step on what to do and even took initiatives like preparing the documents needed after he knows that we wanted the place.

He told us prepare the cheque for deposit to show sincerity that we are really interested in the place. Other buyers already offered 25k or 28k but were not closed. He asked the seller's agent if he can close at 30k. The agent said if its 30k, there's 80% chance, if 32k, there's 90%.

Knowing that we were already prepared to pay 30k, Alvin prepared the documents and gave the cheque to the agent. As the owner wasn't there, the agent would need some time.

So we left not knowing if we are able to get the place. We went over to meet the gang at Tanglin Mall and then Alvin called. He told Hubby that there is a good news and a bad news:

The bad news is that I wrote the name on the cheque wrongly -_-"

The good news is that the owner agreed to let go at COV of 30k =)

Next step: the bank loan....since our Housing Loan Eligibility got rejected.

~~Saturday~~

Hubby made prata for breakfast for me and his family and he FORCED me to take pictures of his effort..so entertain him la hor... here goes...

NTUC prata without onions!
I like it chao tar...
Prata with egg, mango and Japanese mayo..
My original recipe: Prata, egg, sausage and cheese..


We went house viewing in the afternoon at Holland Close and went over to Holland Village for lunch

Went to this ramen shop: Yoshimaru Ramen Shop
(Think my phone's camera is abit the blurry.. not focused.)



Extra bowls just in case of emergency?


Oh! This is an interesting part. Each of us would get a bowl of sesame seed and we are suppose to grind it (Coarse or fine, up to you), and put it in your bowl of noodles

Here is hubby grinding his bowl of sesame
Tan Tan ramen..
The soup is fantastic! very peanut-ty.. add the ground sesame and it will taste better..

Hubby's Toasted Garlic Ramen..

Just a piece of advise: eat it ONLY if you are not meeting important people like your gf/bf, clients etc because your mouth will stink!

Hub loves the egg..because the texture somehow taste different from normal hard boiled egg
Prawn gyoza..

We walked around after lunch and decided to settle for a break at my FAVOURITE bakery:
Provence (yes, the central kitchen is at KA FoodLink)



Lots of choices..
You can see its quite empty because the breads are so good that they are always out-of-stock!

Hub's cappuccino
My Iced- coffee that's SUPER bitter and STRONG.. Its the sweetener he's holding but I needed 3 of that small little syrup and its still bitter. I gave up.
Looks like Iced Milo in the picture
My favourite Scones and hub's Cinnamon Bun.

We wanted to buy some scones home but a woman came in and took the WHOLE BAG away.

Haiz.. Bought the plain scones in the end..
