人,老了。

Heard this song the other day.  If it used to be the me previously, I would just brushed this off.  But, that night, upon listening to this, I tear-ed.

时间都去哪了
门前老树长新芽
院里枯木又开花
半生存了多少话
藏进了满头白发

记忆中的小脚丫
肉嘟嘟的小嘴巴
一生把爱交给他
只为那一声爸妈

时间都去哪儿了
还没好好感受年轻就老了
生儿养女一辈子
满脑子都是孩子哭了笑了

时间都去哪儿了
还没好好看看你眼睛就花了
柴米油盐半辈子
转眼就只剩下满脸的皱纹了

I just realised how old our parents are already, they've already gone through half a century and to be a mum soon, I realised how tough it is to have a baby.

I don't know why but this song just touched me dearly.  It really seems like time passes too quickly.  Having a kid really makes you worry about him/her every moments.  Now, I understand why my mother was worrying about us, you just cannot let go.

Our day - 闰九月

After so many hoo-has about our wedding, we've finally decided not to hold any wedding dinner. But, the traditional fetching the bride and traditional stuff will still happen.

So many changes, the date is finally set.

And the Lunar Calendar date happens to fall on 闰九月 (Lunar "Double/Leap" September).

I've read up about this 闰九月 and I'm pleasantly surprised. It says "闰九月可称为比较罕见的闰月" meaning that this 闰九月 is seldom seen.

The last 闰九月 happened in the year 1832 and the next 闰九月 will be in 2109.

Is it bad to have your wedding on a 闰九月? Nah, it's not. I don't think so, from reading, it seems perfectly fine and this year, there's 2 springs so making it a even better year for marriage! :)

Anyways, to the topic of 闰九月, I was telling mr. Bambam that we can only celebrate our Lunar date 95 years later.  mr. Bambam then said, "You told me the same thing last life (in year 1832), that's why we're celebrating our love again this life."

He continued, "And we will go through again many lifetimes later..."

It's really sweet.  To be honest, I've never been a good wife at all, I've always made him pissed off and done wrong stuff but to think that this man still loves me albeit more or less, he always says the nicest things ever.

I really hope to continue this many lifetimes later with you again.



More information about the date: http://news.163.com/14/0213/11/9KV9R1A300014Q4P.html

100 happy days


I've seen so many people posting on their instagram, facebook, twitter with this hashtag - #100happydays.  I'm curious, what's with it?  As days passed by, I realise #100happydays from friends seem to die out as well.  What's with that, you're stopping after day 10?!

So, I google-ed (best friend tool!) and found this website: http://100happydays.com/
So that's what it is all about.

The page says 71% of people cannot complete listing their 100 happy days because they ended up being..

TOO BUSY

Rubbish.  I believe everyone's happy at some point of the day.  It is the documenting of a picture/incident that makes you happy - that is tough. Well, picture may paint a thousand words but memory lasts.  Sometimes, you tend to forget what makes you happy that day.

So, I'm taking up this challenge.  I'll start my happy days from 14 February 2014!  Instead of a hundred happy days, I'll make it a year of happy days.  So, this will be my record of happy days I'll have (the longest post ever!) and I'll update this post everyday.

14 February 2014
Happy Day 1 - mr. Bambam bought me an iPad Air for Valentine's Day pressie. I can't believe it, my first every iPad :)



15 February 2014
Happy Day 2 - Went out for dimsum breakfast with mr. Bambam's family.  Had scrumptious dinner with mr. Bambam and his family at night and saw 2 local celebs. Took a stroll home after dinner with mr. Bambam and mr. Bambam said that he thinks I'm as pretty as a celebrity. *What a white lie* :)

16 February 2014
Happy Day 3 - I made a card holder pouch for my sister using online tutorial! Sewing is a happy thing to do. mr. Bambam says that he feels upset cause he's not spending enough time with me, he just wants to be with me.  So, we went for breakfast together. :)



17 February 2014
Happy Day 4 - Woke up at 12.30am as I'm being irritated by mosquito! mr. Bambam came home at the same time and he saw me at the door.  First words from him was "Are you okay? Why are you crying? Tell me, what's wrong??" and the anxious look on his face - I'm so blessed.  After complaining to him about the irritating mosquito, he spent the next 15 minutes trying to find and get rid of it and lastly, help to burn a mosquito coil. Managed to run to sentosa in the morning :)



18 February 2014
Happy Day 5 - Last night, mr. Bambam found the irritating mosquito and he send me a picture of it - dead! (sorry mozzie) Ohh ohh, and we catch "walking dead" together after having a filling meal of McDonald's! :)

19 February 2014
Happy Day 6 - Didn't managed to wake up early for gym but I still woke up and was in time for the before 7.30am clock in MRT to obtain my de-congesting reward! :) Happy am I to be searching for our new house bathtub as well. mr. Bambam is overly excited and keeps telling me to call HDB on keys collection. Ha! :)

20 February 2014
Happy Day 7 - mr. Bambam came home and I told him about a second mozzie that is irritating me the whole night. mr. Bambam was so upset and he says he will catch it for me *love* Oh oh, and I am glad I went to gym alone this morning cause there was a train fault! So while everyone's fuming about the train stoppage, I am at the gym having a nice hot shower :)

21 February 2014
Happy Day 8 - Happy am I when mr. Bambam set up mosquito coil again so that I can have a good night's sleep. He's so sweet to do that despite me making him angry (I didn't wake up on time to wake up him for work! >.<). When he came back at 630am, his first concern was me - the first thing he did was asking me if there were any mosquito bites and was I able to sleep well. Gosh, that's so *melts*. Hahas, another happy thing is that I'm going for a free guided tour to USS and SEA Aquarium as part of my job. Hees, that's cause my company will be organising a family day at USS *crossed fingers*  I hope my MD is still agreeable when we send him the approval papers. :)



22 February 2014
Happy Day 9 - I had dinner with my lovelies ladies! Went to Lingy's house for dinner with her and her children. OMG, kids are super adorable. I want to have one soon ;) Oh and the fences surrounding our block is down! I told mr. Bambam and he immediately said let's go over later~~ :)

23 February 2014
Happy Day 10 - mr. Bambam ended work at 1.30am and reached home at 2.00pm. We got changed and went over to our block for a walk walk~ Oh, mr. Bambam strike 4D as well :) I am so happy. We had McDonald's as supper and strolled back home to zzz. Hees. I had my facial (face and back) in the afternoon, I am so glad~ :)

24 February 2014
Happy Day 11 - mr. Bambam is sick :( I intend to cook his favourite salmon to make him feel better. Remember the USS family day I was talking about? MD came back and said "ok". Wheeew~ But it feels so stressful to plan a family day for 1,000 pax within 3 weeks. I hope I can manage :)



25 February 2014
Happy Day 12 - Because mr. Bambam is sick, we slept very early last night at 9.30am. In the middle of the night (this morning), mozzie keep irritating him and me so he woke up and search for the mozzie. I was dead as a log and didn't bother about mozzie. mr. Bambam was so nice to be fuming and searching for the mozzie. He finally caught it and swapped it to its death *oopsy~* I hope for a good night's sleep today!! :)

26 February 2014
Happy Day 13 - Went to gym in the morning! Finally, after 4 days of hiatus. I sewed last night - a potholder! So happy about it. :)


27 February 2014
Happy Day 14 - Great, this is keeping up :) Happy am I today as we went to eat Marche for lunch! Wee~ But work has not been very successful though, many hiccup along the way. Well, like I mentioned, it's impossible to keep happy everyday, there will be situations whereby you feel down. You can only have happy moments at certain part of the day :)  Anyway, I went to Paya Lebar to wait for mr. Bambam after his work and strolled along Star Living. Saw a few items that might be great for our house! *Okay, mr. Bambam said they were quite ugly =X* Oh well~ :)





28 February 2014
Happy Day 15 - I bought some herbs to boil herbal tea and so I woke up at 4.30am to wash clothes, doze off, wake up again to dry the clothes and was thinking if I should boil and there, I went ahead to boil the tea!! This was quite an easy feat. You just need to pour the ingredients into the pot, wash it, pour 3 litres of water and put the pot over the fire till it is boiling and simmer the pot over low heat for 30-40 minutes~ Easy, right? Oh, remember to add rock sugar after that :) This is for mr. Bambam as he has been sick for 3 weeks already (on and off). Hopefully the herbal tea does its work and will be able to reduce his heatiness. :)


1 March 2014
Happy Day 16 - How time flies! Today, I attended my colleague's baby shower. So adorable to have a child. Oh oh, I spent 50cent at a try for Para Para. Recalling those old days with my besties when we used to go arcades and dance all day. No wonder I was slimmer then because I was sweating buckets when I tried the dance. mr. Bambam says he should give me $5 every weekend to dance my fats off. Hahas! :)

2 March 2014
Happy Day 17 - I sew-ed again! This time round, it's 2 pouches - one for a very good friend and the other for my sister! Packed mr. Bambam room and sweep the floor~ :) Ended my night by putting on a facial mask and playing Candy Crush on iPad. What a nice day :)


3 March 2014
Happy Day 18 - Happy am I to be home and eating KFC with mr. Bambam :) We found walking dead on an app on iPad but it was loading very very slowly. It took us 3 hours to finish watching the 45min show. Hahas. Oh, I went USS again. I'm hope this nightmare (yes, nightmare!) will end soon. =X


4 March 2014
Happy Day 19 - After working OT yesterday, I am so glad I can knock off on time! Hees, but then again, I have not been working much at all since last year till now. Oh well. So, I went home and ate Mcdonalds with mr. Bambam. Sweet, right? :)

5 March 2014
Happy Day 20 - mr. Bambam came home and he asked was I bitten by mozzie. I said yes and he switched the lights on and look for it. I flipped and he saw it on my thigh. *Swat!* and he landed a tight slap on my back thigh. *Ouch* :'( Okay, but I'm glad he got rid of the mozzie. It's very irritating to have 1 mozzie every day. :)

6 March 2014
Happy Day 21 - Can't believe it took me 4 days later to record my everyday happy day! Hahas.  Anyways, I heard my neighbours are collecting their keys. OMG, excited. Oh, attended a workshop in the afternoon and got to go off early. Went all the way to Chinatown to buy cheap toiletries and then to Paya Lebar to have dinner with mr. Bambam. While waiting for mr. Bambam to finish his work, I shopped around City Plaza and bought like cheap clothes! Excited max. :)

Happy Day 24 - This is one of the happiest day of my life! Why?  We went for gown fitting for photoshoot. Oh boy, sure it is tiring! Hahahas. They didn't allow pictures so yeah, no pictures.  I tried like dozens of wedding gowns and evening gowns. Finally selected 6 beautiful gowns.  2 A Line wedding dress with long train, 1 Empire Style wedding dress, 1 Ball Gown evening gown (this looks like Belle's dress from Beauty and the Beast), 1 Empire Style evening gown and 1 traditional Kua. :)  Now, I am just wondering which 4 to be selected for indoor shoots and which 2 to be selected for outdoor shoots =X And we received HDB's invite to collect keys - Hurray!

10 March 2014
Happy Day 25 - Phews! I am so busy to be happy. Hahas, weird annotation, how can one be too busy to be happy? Well, yeah :P Anyway, mr. Bambam and I are scheduled to collect keys on a certain date and we brought it forward :) Hees, and exciting evening with the "Walking Dead" again!

11 March 2014
Happy Day 26 - What can be happier than usual? Meeting up a group of old friends! And excitedly, I went to Daiso to have a look while waiting for them. I saw a pair of cute looking hooks and a little basket. Ah ha! Just the right stuff I needed to create a flyers holder for our new place and mr. Bambam said 'okay' to it. And I did bought that :) Will post a picture soon when I'm at my new place. Oh, dinner was great @ Javier's, it's a rotisserie and salad bar eating place :)

Well, had some of the rides with Lingy's daughter and I must say it's definitely a fun filled day. I slept like a pig at 9am onwards =X Oops. mr.

No more wedding dinner

I can’t believe it. 8 months ago, I was at the hotel, admiring how beautiful a wedding can be and thinking of all sort of ideas to beautify my once in a lifetime wedding.

8 months later, I sold off the wedding package. Sighs, made a loss of $500. Money is not that important since I’ve more proclaimed “friends” who had cheated off more than what I have lost in this wedding transaction.

As long as mr. Bambam and I are happy together, I’m not going to care about anything else anymore. I hate being commanded to do things that are not what I wanted. And most importantly, I hate gossip mongers. These are a bunch of people that should be burned and die.

Oh well, happy thing is I’m going for my gown trial on 9 March 2014. That’s a happy thing to know.

Happy thing number 2, we received a letter asking for our housing loan eligibility. This means our house is near!

Stressed am I in finding the correct and reasonably priced (cheap! =X) contractor or interior designer. What I want is relatively simply, just lights, kitchen, shower kerb, bath tub, doors and all the various window grills etc.

How much could these costs? Sighs.

Or should I have requested for more stuff and pay lesser per item cost but pay more in overall package?

I have no idea. Damn.

My husband is great

Just as when you are so desperate, there’s an angel sent from above to help you up. The angel is battered and torn yet despite his weariness, he continues protecting you and providing you with all the assistance you need.

There’s no God as great as this angel. And you are truly my dearest angel, my greatest husband.

Anxiety Attack 2

Today, a friend shared an article on Facebook. It was about Brad Pitt and his wife, Angelina Jolie. The article says Brad Pitt was on the verge of divorcing this woman because she was not herself anymore. She gets constantly nervous and was always crying. She is not happy, suffers from headaches, heart pains and jammed nerves.

That sounded exactly like an anxiety attack. And suddenly, I begin to know how she felt.

And Brad Pitt did his love for her by showering Angelina Jolie with all the love he can, flowers, kisses and compliments. She regained and became a better woman than before. I don’t know how true this is but I know exactly what she was going through.

I am still recovering from what was the shock of my life. I went bonkers and berserk the other day. I screamed, cried, shivered and my eyes fall to daze. I had no directions and I don’t know what to do. I became frightened at every single movement and I imagined things that were not like they were. I pinched myself. I mumbled insults at myself before I can fall asleep.

My lips were constantly dry. I am afraid of mr. bambam leaving me. I tensed up at every ring of his phone and I was fearful of interacting with people, especially my family and friends.

In any other case, as a man, most would have left or brush away the situation and ignore the woman. I don’t know why mr. bambam didn’t scold me for being silly like before. I think he knew I was at the edge, unlike how I used to be. I am totally not myself.

He saw through my eyes how scared I am. The “me” that used to be fearless was hiding far, far behind. I don’t know where I had hidden myself too as well.

mr. bambam held my hand tightly, assuring me that things are well. He told me that there was nothing to be worried about. He pats me to sleep. Worried that I am having nightmares, he slept beside my bed every night. He constantly checks on me and calms me down when I’m frowning as I sleep.

I was like a child, terrified of the world. I am tensed and grabs mr. bambam tightly no matter where we went to. He was no Brad Pitt. Brad Pitt is rich, but mr. bambam still has a job and works night shift to earn more for our future.

Yet, mr. bambam had to console and endure my craziness. I have no idea how he dealt with me. He is such a strong and wonderful man. Concerned, he took me to doctors to make me better. Before each consultation with the different doctors, he offered to go in first. I don’t know what he told the doctors but I felt at ease with him doing so. The western doctor I see asked me “What happened?” I didn’t know as well and helplessly, I cried. Big droplets of tears just flow down my cheeks. I couldn’t control myself.

mr. bambam had to hug me tight and tell me not to worried. Every time he saw me under pressure, he just kept quiet and held me close. Before leaving for work, he made sure I am relaxed and comfortable.

I know mr. bambam is tired. He said softly to me he wishes a speedy recovery for me but yet, he continues to care about me relentlessly. Knowing that visiting our new neighbour’s place will bring me joy, he accompanied me to do so despite him hating to interact with new people.

I am like a spoilt child, showered with love. After my medical leave, on my first day to work, he took the train all the way to Habourfront with me, just to make sure I reached my office safely. When work has ended, he carries an umbrella amidst the heavy rain to ferry me home. Then he helps with the cooking and dinner is served. After a busy day caring for me, he then had to work night shift to answer ridiculous calls from strangers and endures being yelled at.

I have to get well soon. I really have too.

I know I am still afraid. My neck is constantly strained and I am on high alert of people. I get frighten still by small movements people make. When I see crowds, I grab my arms tightly.

But I know this cannot stay. I need to be well. I need to be strong.

I have a man, better than Brad Pitt. We may not be as wealthy as they are but the love mr. bambam had for me, definitely wins all the man on earth.

What did I do to deserve such a guy?

He’s too perfect.

To make me happier, he had booked tickets for us to travel to Taiwan. It’s our first flight together. Our first, flying across the earth, trip.

So, please, little girl in me, please get well. Please do not be so stressed and tensed anymore. You are a grown up, a woman so do not be beaten down by little obstacles in life.

I wish you well, please recover soon.

Anxiety Attack

I wasn’t happy 6 months ago. About the wedding.

6 months later, I had an anxiety attack. And from this incident, I get to know how wonderful mr. bambam is to me. He is patient, kind, understanding and soft.  The list can goes on and on about what an amazing man he is to me.

I don’t know what’s wrong with me but I had been having nightmares since last Friday. To be honest, I am so ashamed and fearful of everything – I pinched myself. Ouuch? In fact, I don’t feel any pain although the bruises look extremely scary. It was red, black, dark, rounded and around my arms.

I thought I was fine. I really thought I was.

What exactly happened? I’m really not sure. Friday night just went by and I couldn’t sleep. I think of myself being a bad person, ugly and shameless. I thought of reasons mr. bambam may not want me and there is another lady out there that deserves him so much. I can’t take it imagining that, I pinched and cried myself to sleep. Hopefully, I am able to fall asleep but I really can’t. I don’t know why. I dazed, I look at the mirror and I cried and cried.

There’s a tiny voice in my head keep repeating insults at me.

I can’t ignore.

I know I am still not myself yet. I cringed when walking in crowds. I held mr. bambam’s hand so tight he felt he is being squeezed. I can’t relax myself. I cried when the doctor asked me how am I. I cried when I am going to sleep. I clenched my fists every night since.

Please, take me away from this misery.

Being good

Is being good a bad thing nowadays?

I have been told I trust too easily, by friends, colleagues and family.  Why?  Is trust not valuable now?  And is giving in a bad thing to do?

Taking for example, I knew my career was going nowhere, however, this is a place that can help me in my salary increment – money, something that is of upmost importance to me now as my flat and wedding are coming.  However, if I had stayed on, it’s going to be a dent in my career.  What am I doing now is practically administrative work, and that is the reason for me to run away from my comfortable 3 years zone in my previous workplace.

So, happily, I got another offer from another company that apparently seems to be offering me a career path that can accelerates to where I want to be, eventually.  The cons – they’re offering me the same salary and I’ll be missing out my current company’s bonus as well as my annual increment.  Well, but for the sake of my future, I’ve decided to go ahead.

Friends said I’m silly, I should ask for more and should have stick to my decision of higher salary but my thought is what’s my justification for a higher asking salary?  I would stick around in the company to work my way and prove my worth, shouldn’t it be the case?

Okay, fine, I gave in but shouldn’t I?

Another example was I have a very good friend who needed cash to fund her studies.  I am not sure of the reason why but she didn’t take a loan and asked if I could help.

I thought long and hard about it.  This was the 3rd time since her studies that she had been asking around for funds and approached me.  I know it’s tough; I’ve been through it myself, I begged for help and was rejected by the very people who said I am their precious in the past.  So, I decided, okay, fine, I’ll take out my savings (which is practically all) for her to study.

She promised to return on a monthly basis for the next 6 months.

Is that foolish?

Colleagues, friends and family told me not to do it.  They said that she should have predicted the money necessary for her studies and saved up instead of approaching for help.  But, why not help?  Isn’t a friend in need a friend indeed?

So, what?  Being too good is bad for a person or should we selectively be good?

I'm not happy

All brides are super happy to plan their own wedding. For me, whenever I think about it, I just silently cry in my room. I'm really not happy to get married.
I hate the dates, I get chided for not being strong to overcome my mum.  I fear what might happen when the two families meet. Friends see this as a drama. But this is my life, it's not a show.
A show only goes on on tv. When the show has ended, the lives of the actors carry on..The scriptwriter can dictates how he wants the ending to be. But my life has no control.
I'm bring manipulated. Either way, I'm. I hate the feeling.. I hate to plan. I'm envious that other brides can be so blissful, so perfect.
I'm nothing but just a rag doll. Maybe a corpse bride in future if everyone still forces me. Please stop, seriously.

Planning a proper wedding - what issues you may stumble upon

You know what's one thing about planning a wedding?

It's never easy.

Sure, I've seen some people with the easiest wedding, both families are alright with any arrangements or no hiccups/issues. If you have that kind of wedding, I would give you a big hug and tell you "Congrats. Please appreciate what your families have given you."

I've researched alot that I can do for my wedding, diy, flowers, venues.. But I've actually overlooked and never realised about issues that may occurred. Caught off guard, these minor issues actually matters alot to the elderly and it seems that overnight, someone laid a million of burdens on my shoulder.

Yeah, like as usual. The objections people have, the dates you need to have, the decorations, venues, food.. Sighs, I wish to have it easy and I decide with mr. Bambam but why do people need to help us decide? It's our wedding, but in fact, it has became the families' wedding.

It's like 1 year and 7 months to my wedding date and I've already had so many problems.

1) The date
2) The previous issues that were never resolved
3) Gossip mongers

The list will be longer, I believe. But I need to persevere on! The lucky thing about this is how I actually witnessed mr. Bambam reacted to the whole situation and he gave me the strength to carry on. <3

So unlike any other advice, my advice to brides or grooms who are planning the wedding - it's not always about the glamour and beauty. A wedding has alot of issues, always ask, and ask further, your family about what are they thinking. It's not the generic kind of questions, you need to be a psychologist and understand the underlying meaning. Serious, it's extremely disastrous if you don't.

Don't Buy the Puppy, Adopt a Dog.


Okay, as the title suggest, this is what I will be dwelling on today. It is not solely on dogs but any other domestic animals. :)

Maybe it is the power of social media. These days, I have been seeing a lot of Facebook postings about adoption, fur parents giving up their fur kids, animals being put to sleep due to lack of space. And not to mentioned, the people who posted about adopting/buying Puppies only.

Actually, having a pet is never easy - I've learnt the hard way. Before you want/demand a pet, remember some points:

1)     Are you willing to clean up their faeces after they have done their business? It might be in public, but that's okay.. What's worse if it relieves itself in your home, your favourite sofa, the walls, and your bed?

2)     Food! What can your pet eats, what is dangerous for them, e.g. my dog, Sparky, can't eat grapes - like any other dog, he will vomits. Imagine cleaning up his vomit when he accidentally ate one grape.

3)     They need to have their activity and play times! Cats, dogs, rabbits.. They need to be let out and roam freely. You must bring them down for walks or open up their cage for them to roam about. You won't like being kept in a small cage 24/7. So do them!

4)     Bathe them! Eating, drinking, going for walks, activity time, dust.. Like humans, anything can make them dirty, pets need to have their bath times. And bathing them needs skill, you must not allow water in their ears and eyes. And drying them up with a hairdryer asap one you're done with the shower for them to prevent colds.

5)     The house will never be clean with a pet around. Your beloved sofa will be covered with fur. Wires tend to become chew toys. Your pet may territorise and sleep on the sofa. Anything but it is no longer just you, it's us. There is a need to clean up the house daily. It's going to be a chore and adding up to your burdens.

6)     Your pet will grow old; it will not be the cute little thing you thought it always will be. One day, they, like humans, may have no more energy to walk and run. They will be paralysed. You need to feed them. You need to clean them up when they can't move. It will be a horrible and heart wrecking sight but you need to be there for them.

A pet needs a lot of commitments. The list goes on and on. I am one fur parent that regretted having a dog in my house. But the joy of having one around is of great impact as well. If one day, I return home and Sparky's not around to greet me, I will feel sad..

So everytime you see a post about adoption, always consider what are the cons first. There are millions and billions of pros having a dog but the cons may affect you in future in abandoning that same dog too.

So think first, always.

Marriage is never easy


To be in a dating relationship, it is always easy to cut it off if you woke up one day realising that this is not the love of your life..

But if you are in a marriage, that is a whole new different thing. You got married because you are committed to each other. The support a wife needs to give the husband should be 100% + 1% more than anyone else. You don't say "Let's divorced" that easily because you are not divorcing your other one, you are breaking off all relationships with the other party's family too.

The love a husband needs to give the wife is also at 100% + 1% more. You can exceed but you must never lower that percentage.

Only after being in a marriage, you will realise how hard it is to maintain. You will have loans commitment, issues to deal with and also people you need to handle and these people may not even be your spouse!

When you get older, your love dies. But your love dies because your heart is dead or flown away.

I always thought people were stupid not being able to maintain their marriage but truth is, it is difficult. It is difficult because you realise he/she is not how you think they are. It is difficult because you are not how they think you are.

To maintain the marriage, lower your expectations but at the same time, improve yourself to meet your spouse's expectation. Men, look after the kids and help with the household work. Women, learn to change the light bulb and slim down.

And if one day, you have really decided to break if all off. Recall the days that you had been through. The first flower he gave you, the first kiss you ever have, your movie date, your normal hawker dinner, the struggles you go through getting your flat, the objections from parents on your relationship, your friends' words about both of you, and the vows you made in front of your witnesses.

Always remember, you were once madly in love.. And you will eventually find the feeling back..

[Review] Bio Oil - Getting rid of stretch marks and SCARS!


I’m the kind of girl that is always having bruises and scars on my legs and hands.  It’s quite embarrassing and unsightly to have big patches of scars on your leg!! I have always considered *if I ever become rich* to go for skin laser to get rid of my scars..

Till one day….

I’ve read about and heard about Bio Oil!!

Okay, here’s the story. As you would have known, I was preparing for my ROM last year.. However, silly little me fall down 2 months before my wedding and had a huge cut across my left thigh. I swear I was super angry and upset at myself so I went online to seek for help!! And then, I met it – Bio Oil. The reviews given was quite general, no pictures to support but people from all over the globe is giving thumbs up on this product.

I hesitated from buying because I’m really skeptical of a product that can remove scars (come on, we know that many products claim to remove scars but few really does, right?) so I delayed my purchase of Bio Oil. mr. Bambam heard about my scars and he was really pissed off – I got a big scolding from him for being so careless and I should have known better because it’s our ROM soon.. blah…blah….blah..

So, he got really very upset and pissed off, he went ahead and bought Bio Oil for me!!! :) Happy girl ^^,v

Bio Oil - The miracle oil

So, happily, I’ve been using this product. Every now and then *when I remember*, I will rub the oil at my scars!! My scars usually stay on for 1 year, 2 years or never gone.. So imagine me looking at it every other day wishing for it to disappear. I bring the oil everywhere I go and once I have the chance to, I will keep massage the scars’ area.

Anyways, the joy was the scars really are disappearing!! It is not a immediate effect but it took 3-4 months for the scars to disappear~~

Jumps for joy!

My scars will always come to me because I always… ALWAYS fall down! So knowing that such a product exists is like heavens dropping a immortal pill for me :P

Anyways, no picture no talk, right? Here’s proof of my before and after affected area – look at how to scars are gone after using Bio Oil.

Before – Slight scars (I’ve been using the oil for at least 1 month) & After – No more scars (I’ve been using the oil for at least 3 months)

Another photo that shows the scars clearly :)

I’m trying to target other areas like spider veins and stretch marks but I believe that the product will not fail me. I hope it does help you in a way or two too~! <3 p="">

The jobs that few would want..

The other day I was talking about how awesome the police drama was on channel 8 was to mr. Bambam and asked him why such a cool job couldn't attract people to join!

mr. Bambam logically analyse why for me. Mind boggling. First, it's the salary. And interlinked with dangers of the job.

Salary, I guessed, for our dear police shouldn't be much.. Perhaps a starting salary range from 1,800$ to 2,200$?

And the dangers associated to it! mr. Bambam was telling me being a police person has alot of dangers like facing minor criminals e.g. thief to extreme criminals e.g. murderer. Being a police person, you are also exposing your loved ones to danger if you made enemies when carrying out your duties. And mind you, it's not the normal office political kind of enemies. These enemies may be someone who might go crazy anytime to stab your loved ones.

So with that kind of danger, why would anyone want to join the force.

Another job I noted with very limited manpower is the qualified nurses in Singapore.

The healthcare industry has always been in a labour crunch. It's hard to recruit the right talent for these jobs. Nurses have long working hours, shift work, and facing demanding patients and their family. Not to mentioned, it is not  well recognised job by most people. And.. the low salary.

Conclusion, salary really plays a huge part in ensuring people join certain industry and jobs but.. that's just the tip of the ice berg.

Ultimately, the pull factor for people to join is the passion and willingness to serve. To serve the nation by ensuring the lowest crime rates in Singapore. To serve the nation by nursing the health of our children, elderly and injuried.

Yes, there are definitely alot of jobs that may be better but the heart and the desire to help is the greatest beauty anyone could have if they joined such industries.

With that, I truly saluate the country's soldiers, police, nurses, doctors and anyone else who dedicated their lifetime to serve, to put down materialistic gains and go for what truly matters to them - their heart of gold and compassion.

How's life?

I had my engagement on the 25 of November in year 2012. I must say Grand Copthrone have one of the nicest food among various hotels. Duh, they have like the most expensive menu for their wedding dinner! I can't afford that though :(
Oh well, another year has came. During my absence of blogging, I got 1) engaged (in the sense of legally married but not customary), 2) passed my exams and into my final semester, 3) change a new job and 4) preparing for my wedding and house.
How time flies, mr. Bambam and I had our 1 yr proposal anniversary too. It was just a simple meal at home :) cooked duly by me only!
I embarked a new journey now at a company and I hope this road brings me magical moments.
Oh, talk about magical.. I went to a Disney course and I'm so attracted by the employees' enthusiasm and willing to put 101% effort in their job. It makes me longing to work for such a company where dreams matter.
And I'm inspired to have a close to Disney theme for my wedding! I hope it will turn out nice ;) We, brides, are only princess just once in our lives. And, we all hope to end happily ever after, right?
To end, let me share my favourite picture of my engagement (mr. Bambam n me)!

Planning the ROM

Horrors or delights?

Planning a ROM is not as difficult as planning a traditional wedding but when things go wrong, a delightful event can turn into the horrible nightmare of yours! *Gasps!*

Well, my ROM has just passed a week ago. :) Coincidentally, the date is the same marriage date as one of my good friend. :) Talk about being besties, marriage date is the same too. It was not selected on purposes. mr. Bambam and I went to select the good date with a fengshui master :)

So, how did I manage my ROM? The built up of events are as follows:-

1. Make an appointment with the fengshui master on 24 December 2011, 11am to select our marriage dates

2. Research and select a few venues for ROM
  • Furama Riverfront
  • Changi Village Hotel
  • Grand Copthorne
2.1 Check on the availability dates of hotel
2.2 Reccee hotel on an impromptu basis on 6 January 2012, visited Furama and Grand Copthorne

3. mr. Bambam prefers Grand Copthorne for its ambience and stylish outlook as compared to Furama

4. Email the coordinator of Grand Copthorne to arrange for an actual viewing of their venue
We went somewhere in Jan/Feb, there were 2 rooms that is suitable for coordinating ROM but unfortunately, the bigger room was taken (mr. Bambam and I loved the bigger room as the receiption area is very enclosed and belongs to a private area). Therefore, we had to take the Paradiso Room instead which can only seat up to 40pax.

5. Make the downpayment for the hotel

6. Preparing guest lists (only for close relatives)
As there are limited seats, I can't invite my friends already. :'( But good thing that there is the wedding dinner for us to invite them :)
Oh oh! And my ROM hotel coordinator left. So we are stuck with a new guy and he was quite helpful about the whole event :)

7. Prepare invites (design and done by me using powerpoint) :) Printed using canon printer (good quality!) and used hard shiny glossy paper. Got quite good comments on the printing :)

8. Gown and coat
I happily tried my gown in September and have choosen the one I like. It's a little pink fluffly dress and it looks absolutely cute. Totally not a bride style (white and all) but it's the only one that fits me perfectly :) Talking about getting the right dress, I think what matters is the feeling and let your heart decides when you put on the gown.

Coat for guys - G2000 is the safest ^^,

9. Shoes and accessories - Shoes from METRO and accessories from Taobao :)

10. Photographer and make up artist - Friend and he's quite good!! Make up artist from bridal shop

11. Justice of Peace (Solemniser) - Mr. Chia Ti Yu 
11.1 Met and signed the consent form - 2 September 2012

12. Choose march in song - Select one that you can do a grand march in, I choose something instrumental with dynamics :)

10. Apply with ROM and get certificate (File application on 25 Aug 2012) - Applied on 2 September 2012, paid $26

11. Decorations in function room (Fake flower petals / Balloons)
mr. Bambam's close friends did alot of great help by decorating forus, last minute stye :)


12. Ring pillows - free one from Lee Hwa

13. Wedding bands - Lee Hwa

14. Hand bouquet

15. Door gifts - bought from Taobao, swans + sweets.

Actually, it is quite tedious but I am glad everything went smoothly (with some hiccups) but yeah, that's how our ROM is done.  ^_^

Let's walk down the road!

It is nice having a long weekend. Today felt like a Sunday even though it is actually just Saturday!

Well, to cut the story short, I accompanied mr. bambam to his exam today at Roxy hotel.While waiting for him, I pampered myself with a classic mani and pedi. Felt so loved with my self pampering.

As promised to him, we walked from Parkway Parade to the Seafood Lagoon area for some local hawker fare. Ordered stingray, gong gong and the famous Teddy Bear chicken wings :)

Such love on a cool Saturday evening.

Here comes the climax! After dinner, I was suggesting to mr. bambam that we should have a walk. mr. bambam was talking about his commando days whereby he had to walk 72km back and forth east coast, changi and to his camp.

So, being the usual me, I suggested that we should walk to changi village for dimsum! :)

He told me we will reached by 8.30pm (it was 6.30pm then). Boy, it was so damn wrong! We walked all the way from east coast, cross the park connector (which was right beside the airport) and the whole journey is a whopping 16km when we reached the SAF jetty! We spent 3 whole hours walking this tough road.

But, I am extremely happy yet tired throughout this walk. I was commenting to mr. bambam that this walk shows how much love we had for each other. The time we spent walking was marvelous. We talked about plans to travel, life, marriage and what this whole thing means.

mr. bambam is in a very uncomfortable attire (he was dressed in jeans, shirt and working shoes) yet he accompanied me throughout this journey. At many point of time, I am at the peak of giving up but he was always there to cheer me on.

I relate the whole journey to our soon to be married life.

In marriage, we are supposed to walk down the road together and we literally did that today.

In this road, we met with many dangers (me fearing at the slightest noise and grabbing his hand, bicycles almost banging into me) and darkest times (flicking lamps and non-lighted lamps) but he was there to hold on to me when these happen.

At times, when I did silly things like walking too far away, he was there to pull me back and guide me to the correct road. Though he reprimands me now and then, but whatever he does - it is always meant for my own good.

This is how I am sure that mr. bambam will always and definitely be the one for me.

Though I'm not sure if I am the one for him but I will try my best to be.. that very special person :)

Music and the world

As a kid, I used to wonder why my mother always sing the same old hokkien song. Each time she sings, it just keep getting.. well.. kind of boring to hear.

To me, there were way better songs such as Right here waiting.. I'll never stop.. Like a rose.. Swear it again.. Never had a dream come true.. and the list goes on and on.

So I couldn't fathom why she is stuck in her own world. Time has passed, shouldn't she move on with the rest?

Well, now I know why.. The music she was listening to happened in the best memories of her life. Ironically, I am entangled into my own best memories too. Recalling when I was in primary school, I always tuned in to radio station such as 98.7 aka perfect ten station. Great songs accompanied my lonely days at home and has grown to be a part of me.

As I grow older, busy were my days that I have long forgotten how I used to immerse myself in good music, soothing my brain and my soul.

Boy, am I glad I have come to realise this. And.. I have recently found what was missing in my life - the radio station that simply plays just my memories.

I've tumbled into just the right radio station for me - Kiss 92fm. The radio stations that play good music from 80s to 00s with a tinge of new music in 2010s. I'm so immpressed by yhe station. It simply picks all my preloved music.

I can spend the whole night grooving to these :)
