New things in my life

I bought myself a DSLR around September!

It's a hefty sum paid but I love it to bits. Count it as a personal early birthday present to myself :) Hees.

Anyways, on 18 October, mr. Bambam's sister got married! It was such a happy event :) She looks so gorgeous in her wedding gowns. I think I will be a fat bride if I'm not slimming down yet! Grr, better do something for myself now.

mr. Bambam told me we may ROM next year! I'm so looking forward to it!! I keep asking how he is going to propose but due to financial situation at the moment, he told me he's not confident of giving me a good proposal. At least he's upfront about it. I'm so glad we are both so honest about this to each other.

But he told me he would like me to slim down too to be the most beautiful bride :) I will try my best!!

Anyways, our house is still at the forst level piling. I hope it starts soon but also hope it doesn't because it means we need to save up fast!! Argh, in agony.

Wish that money can drop from the sky :P

Btw, I just passed my 23rd birthday with mr. Bambam in Genting, it was fun there going to casino and playing jackpots, roulette etc ;) I won abit, enough to cover my expenses and my braces! Oh, I forgot to mention, I'm getting braces!! Hahas, had my 2nd appointment already. Will be plucking my teeth on the 7th December this year.

Hope to get straight teeth soon.

Lastly, back to the topic of my birthday. About a month before my birthday, I remove the information from my facebook page. Cause I was thinking to myself, friends who wished my birthday last year were a plenty but this is because facebook have such a prompt on who's birthday it is on a particular day. I would like to know who are my true friends who will wish my happy birthday so I remove the information from my fb.

True enough, only 15 or less people wished me happy birthday, most of them are my colleagues. I was taken by surprise that 2 of my supposedly close friend did not wish me by fb or sms at all. Kinda disappointed in this 2 friends. Got me wondering if they know when is my birthday. This little test showed me who is my true friends and I'm glad that I did this, I'll treat all these people like treasures <3

Happy days

Just a week ago, I brought my family, less Dad who is working, to Universal Studios Singapore ("USS"). I spend a bomb securing the 3 tickets but it was all worth it.

This trip is a delayed trip since June to reward my sister's hardwork. I told her that if she got top 10 in class, she will get a USS treat. And she really did!! She topped her whole class during mid year exams! Wows.. Come to think of it, this took me by surprise! I was a little skeptical about her getting good grades :P I'm sucha bad sister!

But nonetheless, her reward is given! We had the battlestar ride first and it was extremely frightening! Omgosh. But eventually, after all the rides, when we tried battlestar again, it felt like nothing. Hahas, first experience is always memorable..

Anyways, I borrow mr. Bambam's sister's digi cam and I lost the cloth bag that was protecting the camera!! :( Went to Sim Lim to buy another one for her but can't find the exact and got a hp pouch at $13 to replace instead. But it's still not the one. She says it's ok but I feel pretty bad about it :( I'm sorry!! >.< Over the weekend, I have splurge and got myself a dslr too! Love it to bits ;) Here's a shot of the fireworks to end my entry :) Tata

Step by step, to our own future

Whoa, this was supposed to be a post 5 months ago and I didn't managed to complete it.

This is to update what's with my life for the past few months. :)

26 October 2011 - BTO application

24 November 2011 - Annoucement of results which is really a very good number for us after numerous tries (4 times?). It's a double digit number less than 50 and can you believe it? There was like 3000+ applicants vying for 300+ flats! :) Lucky lucky!

27 December 2011 - We were the last at HDB selecting our flat!! :) But bambam and I went very very early (like 2pm) there. I took half day and was extremely excited. Anyways, we have selected our little hommie and look forward to a future together :)$2000 fly away~~

23 April 2011 - Signed and paid for our agreement to purchase the flat. Anyways, Singapore flats are on lease for 99 years, not really 'purchase'. Can you imagine that? Spending 330k++ on a flat that doesn't belong to you and it's only 92sqm. Initial appointment was 3 April 2011 but bambam was still in Taiwan for his army so yeah, postpone till 23 April 2011. :)

And the past few months have been exciting visiting the plot of land that is about to build our future :)

31 July 2011 - Finally, the fence is up! :)

And till now, all the machinary and piling has started. Excited to see the first level up :)

Anyways, I gotten my bonus from my company! Quite a ok amount that is close to my expectation :) Cool!

11 July was our 6th year together, can you imagine that? And we still look like young couple :P Hahahahas.

Ok, so just to end with a photo of us :)

Unhappiness - please fly away..

I've been feeling quite unhappy these days. Though it is the new year period, but the 'once happy and anticipated' me seems to disappear into thin air.

First day of CNY - ah gong was hospitalized due to breathless. He can't breathe well. My ah gong used to be so strong and healthy. Even much healthier than my ah ma. But now, he is weaker than ah ma le.

Ah gong is a man with little words but he is also a great figure in my life. I always hear my mummy telling me stories of how brave and clever my ah gong is. He is someone I respect alot even till now. I really hope he will
be well and also witness my wedding some day.
