USS again! :)

One of my biggest regret was not having a better camera to capture nice pictures during my USS trip last year in September.

And I was hoping that our department outing will be a trip to USS! Well, a few of my colleagues wished for the same and yes, we had persuade our Director to let us go to USS! Guess what... this trip is planned to be on Friday, 2 March!! :)

I'm a happy girl. The feeling of going out and enjoying the day with my colleague is so intense that I pratically squeal and blabber off about what we should do there every single minute! I'm really so anxious and elated about this!

And I have started a life lesson notrs section for myself on iPhone. Will be posting them here to remind myself of some precious life lessons soon :)

Ciao!

I am getting married :)

It feels so weird to get married but it is part of our life~

When mr. Bambam proposed, it wqs quite an awkward moment because having someone you're so close with kneeling on one bended leg to propose - the feeling is like having butterflies in your tummy and overexcitement!

mr. Bambam is quite a shy guy so I didn't anticipate the proposal to be loud and show off (Sagittarius like me likes to be in the centre of attention :P) but nonetheless, his little story about the watch and ring is so sweet :)

Wedding date: 25 November 2012
Wedding venue: Grand Corpthone Hotel, Singapore
Time: Lunch

So much things to do. Gowns! Decorations! Make up, photographer...JP! Oh my, I'm overwhelmed. Hahas.

Anyways, I posted this in FB and many came to say their congrats :) <3 Sp touched.

But I was particularly upset and had whined to mr. Bambam that one of my closest or I thought was close friend didn't mentioned anything or ask me about it.. Like why?

Quite disappointed. And I thought of inviting her to my ceremony but I don't think she is genuinely happy for us. I seriously doubt it.

I hate to be fake so I really show her that I'm pissed. Shrugs. Not going to harp on it anymore.

Next, my life is getting so excited with me going on braces. Going to have my 2nd tightening this Friday! Yays, straight teeth ftw :)

I wish my life stays as beautiful and eventful forever ;)

Cheers!

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.

Unplan Suprises

It was my birthday last week. I feel kind of old already. Like 22 years of my life has passed by just like this. Hahas.

Anyways, I had my company annual D&D last week too, a day after my birthday. I like RWS :) It's very fun!! :)

And on the same day, I got a result from my application. We got a q number ^_^ I'm so elated to know that!! Yays, double yays~!

I just hope everything goes fine with all the planning and of course, my examinations. Money is the biggest issue now, I hope we don't quarrel cause of money. Sighs! Now I understand my parents' problems.

Anyways, I'm at home now because my mum fall ill.. She keeps vomitting and vomitting for the entire night. I suspect it is due to food poisoning. My sister cooked a pot of maggiee mee the other day and it smells like detergent.

Nonetheless, I finished it all off! But my mum only had a few bites. I guess the older people goes, the weaker their immune systems are. I just feel unwell and want to vomit but shrugged it off and went to sleep. My mum had the more serious symptoms - vomitting, headache, sleepless.

I shall let her sleep now, going to wake her up soon to bring her to the doctor's. Ciao! Btw, if you see right --> you will see a FB like page for Sparky *my pet dog* Do remember to like and check out his videos and photos! Thanks! :)

Blogging!

I realized everytime I blog, it's near the end of my exams! Haha.

What a coincident! :) Previ0usly, was talking about my new workplace. Omg! I don't regret moving cause I learnt alot here. And when I made mistakes, I found solutions on my own! *Some grave mistakes I did just recently =X*

Btw, heard from my ex-colleague the girl that took over my position in the other company left. I mean, why? Guess people are always looking for greener pastures. Though I would love to get additional $, but I think I would prefer to gain experiences first :)

Anyways, today I was having my accounts paper and I screwed it big time. Like, I can say overconfidence kill me! Haha, I thought my accounts was good enough, but, it wasn't! It's because I didn't practise enough. Oh my, what is done is done. I just pray for a pass will do :)

Btw, I did my passport yesterday, I hope it would be approved asap! Bambam and his friends are going Malaysia and I so wanna tag along! ICA, please make it approved by Wednesday, okok? :)

Gah, it's time for me to study hrm for tomorrow's last paper. After tomorrow, I will be a free girl! And not to mention, my family is celebrating my birthday tomorrow. Bambam celebrating it with me on Sunday @ Kushinbo! So sweet :) I love all my family and friends around me. I'm blessed :)

EXAMs OVER

Phews, I'm so glad that my exams are over. I'm awaiting now for my results to be out on 28 June 2010.

Let's all pray for good news >.< Yikes.

Anyways, with a change of job, I became much poorer, I just realized that I've been financially controlling my finances since Jan 2010 and up till May 2010, I lost count and overspend.

So much for getting a cashbook and controlling finances. Haha, it backfired. Actually, it did not, it's just that I became lazy to write every single detail of what I spend so I overspend in the end.

I'll begin recording my finances again, I must keep to it. :)

Days have been kinda messy. Realized Jessica was lying to us alot of times. And that's so dumb of her to say different things to different people but these different people know each other.

Because, eventually, the different people will talk and realized you said different things to them and your lies will be exposed. So, don't lie, isn't that simple?

Maybe she hasn't grown up that's why.

Anyways, I'm thinking of how to grow my investment portfolio and earn more money, begin to look at stocks again. Haha, better stop better stop. Sighs.

Mr. Bambam is going to Brunei, I feel kinda sad and sians. And my weight is still the same.
I'm going off for some simple exercises. BYEs~

I'm glad I left

There's so much happenings these few months.

I left that idiotic place already, was intially kind of dejected because I love the people there. But then, I found out it's not the same kind of feelings people have for me.

They like me, but they will move on. So why can't I?

Psst, do you know. That actually, I know how much they're offering the next person who is going to take over my place, and it's $2k+.

The moment I knew of these news, I was really disappointed in myself. Like why can't I make it? Why am I being offered lower for the same position? *Btw, I knew this before leavig the company but I still held my head high and do all the jobs right (I think I did all right)*

Then, I knew of that they're hiring 2 HR asst instead of 1. :)

I guess I can only self-praise myself. Because there's 2 to replace 1. Haha :)
Maybe I'm really a pro, lol *Pardon me, I'm trying to find all sorts of excuses to make myself seems more worthy :)*

Anyways, my new job, same pay, same job but different working hours. I get to leave office earlier by 1 hour. And 1 hour means alot. It meant that I can reached home before the sky falls dark, and it's a lovely feeling, I get to laze around in my sofa and watching the TV programmes.

Lovely, isn't it?

Better still, I can get to catch up with my friends.

Anyways, these few months, keep having outings with Lingy they all. I <3 them lots man! It's like long-lost friends found.

I mean, yeah, since secondary school, after the clique disperse, this is like heaven again.

I wish things will stay the same, ok?

Anyways, I realized people aged fast. It's like yesterdays since we were young and keep going out and now, we're talking about properties and weddings. Haha, like how time flies.

Really, we should cherish each and every second we have so that we can make the most out of it. If there're any anger or disputes, let bygones be bygones. It's harder to find good friends that stay for long.

So what if someone had backstabbed or badmouthed you once?
So what if they jepordize your life?
So what if they make you sad / angry at yourself or them?

It's up to us to stay happy, and we can, we shall, without worrying about them.

I finally learn, the power of happiness.
