Let the Celebrations Begin!
I wanted 12 days of celebrations for my 24th this yr, but somehow, i feel that's not gonna work out. Some frens have forgotten when my special day is... while others, I chose to have a meet up rather den specify what exactly is the reason for meeting up.....esp when i dun wan pple to have the impression that i wan a pressie or somethin...
What was supposed to be a meet up ended up as 1 i considered my 1st bday celebration!
It was my day out with my couz on Friday (I had 1/2 day OIL to clear) and because of this meet up, my couz gave up meeting a special someone and celebrating another fren's bday. She gave this priority to me!!
Thanks couz for making me so special as always! She's my confidante, my shopping khaki, and camwhoring partner and nv fails to give me good fashion advice too!
I'll let some photos do the talking.. ;)
tea time buffet at Sakae Sushi....definitely value for money man!!

because city hall was so crowded,we decided to take the train to raffles place...but figured it may still be crowded and this is where we ended up...
hahaha....it was hilarious...cos when we boarded the train, there was no 2 seats side by side for us...den there was this girl inbetween the seat and we were hoping she'll get the hint and move so we cld sit next to each other...but she didn't and i went "eh u sit la.." and pretended tt i will sacrifice and stand....but she still didn't get it....den suddenly these 2 guys gave up their seats and headed off in 2 different directions and sat themselves there so we cld sit nxt to each other..

To Mum With Love
Mother's Day is almost over.....and almost everyone celebrated this occasion by having dinners whatsoever either today or somewhat earlier..
Church showed their appreciation as well..
Could't help but miss my mother....What was preached today was really true...We can only have 1 BIOLOGICAL mother....and all I cld think of were the happy times spent when mummy was still alive..
The different hairstyles tt she used to tie for me...
the pretty lil dresses she sewed for me...
the new pillows she made to replace my "chao chao" pillow and i'll always refuse them..
the time when she started teaching me cross stitch...
the different dishes she always came up with everyday and we'll nv get tired of eating food prepared by her..
the yummy desserts and 'liang cha' she'll brew for us to ensure we nv fall sick...
Coming to school on my 1st day in Primary School and making sure I got my sausage bread on the 1st day of my ballet class.
Ensuring she fulfils her houshold duties and nv complaining no matter how tired she was.
Mummy nv fails to put a smile on her face..
Her ever bubbly and joyful personality nv fails to cheer pple up.
We were close to all our neighbours only because of her...
Till now, she is deeply missed not just by us...but even the pple ard us....and some... in church who saw us grew up.
Yes..there will be times when we tend to compare the then and now...but I can't help but learn to appreciate dear mummy who gave us the best tt she cld.
Taught us morals tt we cld nv get in school...And I quote my fren, no matter how much u hate ur mum, somehow, u'll always inherit her genes...no matter how distant u guys are...
And i'm so glad tt even tho mummy isn't ard anymore, there are certain genes tt I inherited from her and I really thank God for tt.
So....Mummy, even tho u aren't around...I look forward to the day when I can see you again and say Happy Mother's Day...I love you lots!!

Growing Up
I was just reading an anonymous blog and this person nv fails to inspire me thru her walk with God, her faith etc..it's so inspiring...
And she mentioned how in 2010, she'll have to graduate, work and become an adult. What amused me is the fact that many students, who may just be a yr or 2 younger den me, but are still studying always has this 'thought' that I am only an ADULT when I start working.haha..
Issit cos of the fact that most of our colleagues are OLD-er den us and hence, we tend to think we have to mature in the office, and perhaps because we are able to provide for ourselves, that pple see it as a different phase in life.
heh..after working for more than 5yrs, gosh,the 7th this yr, it seems tt i'm still acting like a TEEN-ager who nv seems to grow up. It's been fun, being able to learn from the matured and more experienced as well as looking at those who are older (den me) but acting so.....well well...my point is, you dun have to BE AN ADULT, just because you have started working.
Act mature when you HAVE TO, but enjoy ur youth while it lasts. :)

A cloud by day
And fire by night
Lord you led your people to the Holy of Holies
That is where your presence resides
There is where I want to be
Lord your glory was shown in a way they consider a norm
Where is the cloud?
Where is the fire?
Where is the presence that I have heard?
Where is the cloud?
Where is the fire?
Where is the presence that changes life?
Show me your glory
Show me your glory
A brand new reality
Lord, come and touch
Lord, come and change
Breathe new life into me
Mum was sharing during family altar last Sunday bout which part of this family song (which don't seem to have a title) we liked best.
And it suddenly occurred to me how I've nv asked myself why that part until tt day.
Conclusion:If you can't love God, or have a love relationship with God, you can't fall in love with anyone else. but tt's only for me la.haha..i dunno bout u guys.
Been too tired to update of late, i'll post pics up this weekend!!
Cheerios!

Colourful week
This week has been a rainbow-ful week.
Monday started off pretty badly - First, I was late for yoga,2nd,i forgot to bring a lock for my belongings....and lastly,when I got home, I wanted to check for smses sent to me the whole day (i had forgotten to bring out my phone) only to find my hp pouch feeling all wet and sticky.
Guess wat? My facial mask packaging had leaked onto the pouch and had leaked onto my phone which caused it to have a 'bubbly' surface.
Thought the next day will be better....but no...it was a disappointng Tuesday because something unexpected happened and i was super...down..(i dun wanna elaborate too much on this)..
Den on Wednesday, the moment I went to work,i received an email from my big boss regarding some issues. Some1 had miscommunicated a misunderstanding on an issue tt i was supposed to follow up on and it almost got me into deep trouble. Thankfully, big boss cleared the matter up with me and it has been resolved.
And wednesday was also the day tt I felt guilty bout some HR matters....but like boss said "a law is a law...and we have to abide by it".
Thursday was the day I OT-ed till 11pm.....because I had to sum up 8 ethics policies into 1 A4 paper and I spent almost the whole day doing it,but in the evening, still had to lead my team to jog ard the area.
Friday wasa sleepy and tiring day,but productive day.Got alot of things done, the evening started off well...
I made an effort to attend cell nowadays.
I shall let the pics do the talking for Sat....and my wed meet up.
SHOPPING WITH CAN CAN KHOO! - addidas sale,robinson and food fair
This girl wanted to go to the Addidas sale and why wld shopaholic reject such a request to tag along aye?
But disappointly,by the time we reached, most of the stuff was already sold. Can managed to buy a cool jacket,while I got myself another running singlet...at $20,considerably cheap given that they sell it $40 at retail price.
Went robinson sale, and I got myself 2 packs of eyeshadow and a lovely white top.heh...
We ended our Expo trip by dropping by the Food Fair...and this is what we had
The spicy taiwan fishball yong tau fu.
Otah Pau
Chinese Sausage Claypot Rice
Fish Maw soup
yam paste and red bean ice cream for dessert!
Candace never fails to make me laugh with her 'whiny whiny' tone and when you whine or talk rubbish,she'll join u in the fun and when she whines...u just wanna laugh. She's super cute!
we headed off to Tampines Mall to look for her heels and finally settled for something in Americaya
and she was so happy kissing the tongue of the duck
SATURDAY MORNING - accompanied my bestie to accomplish a task to surprise her bf....and later,met up with her bf for lunch. 
my bestie looking lovelier each passing day.u've been the babe since we knew each other....but now....u're looking more and more ladylike.....U're not a gal...not yet a woman!hahaha.... 
did i ever mention that Dawn and I used to be at loggerheads when we were younger? used to hate her alot.hahahaha.....but thank God,we're goodfrens now! *Grinz*
