hmmm... I finally understand why why why... my mascara ALWAYS smudges after about 10 mins of putting on...no matter what kind of WATER PROOF i buy.. i always end up chucking them.
During my trial makeup.. my artist told me that i have watery eyes...and the kind that the tears just go around in the eyes. which doesnt fall off even when i try to blink hard... resulting in smudges. Even b4 she finish painting my face, she already had to clear up the smudges for 3 times...
so.. no amount how Waterproof make up can tackle this watery eyes issue..She says she loves my eyes..ppl would kill to have my eyes....
i say.. 'haiz... u gain some u lose some"

30+ dresses
Seen the movie 27 dresses?
I think mine was similar or even worse. haha
We had to choose the evening gowns and outdoor for my upcoming photoshoot.
They came together with me as we were together collecting 小红 !!!!
not mine.. it's H's. But we're her 1st passengers!
It was fun!
Anyways, back to the gown fitting.. i think we all went through a hilarious time trying to find the 'ok' gown for me... apparrently, the staff's taste and ours are completely off...
They gave me a lot of gowns to try on.. so that they can see what kind of cuts flatter me..the bad thing about it was.. all the gowns are kept on the 2nd floor... and only the staff are allowed upstairs, which is why they need to bring down the gowns in batches.
All I wanted was something simple and timeless... something which when we look back at old photos wouldnt find it silly looking..
like:
Dont laugh lor... these used to be in fashion at their time...
If u were to dig out old wedding pics u used to attend when u were very young.
So anyway.. i think they gave me heaps of gowns to try until i almost given up hope.. and I told them.. something really simple.. very simple..
They finally came one with one piece... of which got mine, CX and my colleagues approval for the very 1st time.. hahahaha
I told her.. this is the kind of simple dresses I'm looking for... the rest before these.. are just not my cup of tea. All i wanted was simple dress, with my hair in loose soft waves
well.. to them.. wedding's a day where the bride should be wearing something very out of the world, something different, something loud, striking esp for the evening dress.. which explains why the funny funny patterns they wanted me to try .. whahaha
Nope.. compeletly different taste for me.. For my wedding, i want something simple yet classy, where my guests wont feel awkward nor uncomfortable... where they can have as much fun as I will be having.. dancing and moving to the funky music. something relaxing...sigh.. we'll just have to plan ya? I think i dream too much hahaha
I hate solemn weddings.. with many many tables of people who dont know each other, esp strangers within the same table and are there for the sake of being there..
Anyway, I came across this link while i was seraching for really obiang gowns:

Experiencing my very 1st Sickening moment in my life
Ya.. shocking isnt it?
It terrifed me.. I muz admit. I think its the most dramatic ill experience I ever had
hmmmmm...I think it all started on the thurs when I was doing the Qtr close for Hallmark. Been up late in the night so that I would get immediate response from US with regards to this very 1st closing. Had been feeling feverish and unwell but i just took Lemsip hoping it'll go away as usual.
Then came Sun, I couldnt really wake up... all I could do was lay a little longer, hoping a little more rest would make me better..
Its the most terrible feeling I ever had.. I knew something was terribly wrong and was soon on the way to the hospital.
Cant recall what happened.. I only knew that I was looking for a seat while CX was registering me.. the next moment.. I'm started feeling someone lifting me to the bed.
I had difficulty in breathing and running high fever at the same time.
Was sent for Xray, put on packets of drips and "breathing mask"...
Given panadol and cough syrup and waited for the med to take effect and for the doctor to confirm if I had to be warded...
I was hoping against hope that I dont need to be warded... because i totally hated the personnels and the atmosphere there. I thought i felt more sick while i was there as people are just coughin into the air, etc...
After a long hours of wait, they took my temperature again. The funny thing was.. after the drip, my fever went up instead of coming down. But luckily enough, I was able to go home. I think I couldnt be happier at the moment.
We headed for my mum's house straight after so that she could look after me while CX goes to work..it was bout 2am and my parents were worried sick bout me.
On monday, I had some rashes around my eye and always felt very queasy after taking med.
They decided to bring me to the doc's again..
and this time.. even my parents in law came to my mum's place.. CX got a hearful from his mum for tellin her only on monday morning. I felt so embarrassed as I was the one who told him not to say.. ahahahaha
And so..all of them went back to the hospital with me, this time to the walk-in clinic coz my mum said its a lot faster though more ex. He replaced my cough syrup and increase my med!!! Arghhh...
But on tue, when CX came to see me and i was sleepin as usual, he told my mum I felt even more feverish.. I think my mum panicked..and they all decided to bring me to see a doctor AGAIN.. coz by right i should be getting better and not worse.
My dad drove us all to the Blk4 clinic, 2 clinics near my grandma's.. all closed.. I kept hearing my mum urging Dad to drive faster.. see where else got clinic. I was so afraid that we would get into an accident.
Luckily, they found one near our old house. And the doctor told them that my med was already very very strong.. but he's going to replace them with stronger ones.. and increasing medicine too! Arghhh....
All in all.. I had to take 8 diff kind of med.... sleeping 80% of 24hrs for the past 1 week. Being in a daze while I was awake. I think i scared lots of ppl.. including myself.
Thanks for all the concern.. I'm recovering now.. fever is coming down at last, no longer above 38.
I must and I will.... take good care of myself...
Hugs!!

Esp when my mum wanted to put meimei into the washing machine while I was eating my medicine I smsed him and.. he went " CANNOT!!!!! confirm will spoil one!!!! Muz stop her!!!! dear must protect mei mei okie?!!!" whahaha

Back iN Singapore
well well... its been MY VERY 1ST BIZ TRIP!
The amazing sunset view
The mango dessert is Wonderful...
Very tiring though... theres so much things to cover & learn. I didnt want to extend coz it'll spoil my itenary on fri.. and also i kinda start to miss the food in Spore!
They have a Airport express to the City!
CX and I extended a day before my workday.. to tour around HK.
Upon reaching the hotel... they ran out of double bed room.. and gave us this room
They even have a microwave & electric stove...
The parking meter
Been there done that... Smelly Dou Fu!!!! eeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Frankly, its not that bad... its the after taste of it.. feels like ur whole mouth is stinky hahah
but u can just wash it down with a drink.. and its gone!
i feel that their MTR is lots better than our MRT in the sense that.. there'll be a blinking light for the next stop.. the stations passed will be marked with red lights..
and when the train reaches an interchange station, it'll blink up the line of stations u can reach if u change at this station..
Beats the announcements we get here...
The tram
the tram up the peak, the steep slope up ahead..
Reached!
The amazing sunset view
Their nuggets sauce.
The place where they gather to do their laundry
The one and only authentic breakfast i tried at their "cha chan teng"
the rest were all in resturants..=(
this is one of my FAV!
A very long stretch of florists... with lots & lots of beautiful flowers...
They are all pre arranged bouquets! I think its just a grab & go kind of purchase...
At the end of the stretch are wholesale...
I love this room...not coz its 5 stars or its free....not coz the bathroom is alomost as big as my mum's room.. not coz they have things like i-home or dvd playing etc etc.... BUT coz it feels very cozy and comfortable..
And the weird thing is.. our room number was '444' which i thought was very usual for HK to have.. ( i understand from Sam that hotels usually skip the 4th storey.. and it's go like 3rd flr, 5th floor... haha)
After checking in.. head to disneyland...I had my doubts bout gg to disneyland when i checked out their website... Its FULL of kiddly rides which i am not that into...
I was thinking of gg to Ocean Park instead.. coz i love thrilling rides....But then CX suggested to go Disneyland instead coz i might find lots of cute Piglets for me to buy...
Well... guess what? Its raining heavily.. but we went ahead anyway.. since my aim was to buy piglets..
The only things we bought... Raincoats & Cap (coz of rain) .. hahah
The piglets arent adorable at all!!!! We left in less than 3hrs! hehe
There werent any marches nor fireworks for that day due to the tragic earthquake.
I hope there'll be more survivors!
The Jap food in the restuarant is way better than Sakae & Sushi Teh!
The mango dessert is Wonderful...
The beer is less than 1/2 the price in Spore! Which makes CX a very happy man.. haha
And they even have purple beer!
How can i miss a meetup with dear Sam???
This was what CX ordered.... He loved it..
This was what CX ordered.... He loved it..
This was what i ordered for main dish.. and there was only 3 wantons...but flipping up the noodle.. there were MANY!!!
This is very nice.. its you zha kweh with Chu Chang fen.. along with other dim sum..
Spotted.. HK actors & actresses filming! but too lazy to go & find out who it was...
I only managed to sightsee on my 1st & last day at HK...
Couldnt do much shopping... but anyways.. nothing much i can buy..
the trend is different.. or lots of things u can find here in Spore... so, we didnt spend much..hahha
The rest of the week..... was working late trying to learn all I can in the HK office..with the new system and their diff way of accounting treatment...TIRED... but it was worth it!
Its a step up for me... My very 1st Biz trip.. By myself =)
This is one the of Fav things i did everynight.. soaking up in the tub.. easing my tiredness away.. while watching Late Night with Letterman through the window! =)

We will Rock you
A dear friend of mine bought a pair of tickets & gave it to me!!!
Its a 1st time i went to watch a musical with him at the esplanade... and we both loved it..
getting into it with the crowd and singing, swaying, clapping, waving..
It was superb fun!!!
The next time we're in London.. we're definately gg to watch it again!
I know he's loving it.. as i now have the Queens albums of songs soon after we watched the musical. hahah

The story of my tooth
well... it all started with my constant headaches at that time.. went to a few clinics as it was hurting real bad.. but they could not find out whats so wrong...
It got worse with each step I took, it seemed that there was a vein leading to my head that throbs as I walked....
then.. it happened that i went for my dental checkup, and told him that I had a tooth, it seems as if its moving a bit.. and yet, not..
After taking a closer look at it.. i was told that it looks like a BABY Tooth.
How can that be? At 26 years old... i thought all our baby teeth would have been replaced??
An Xray proved it... It Was a baby tooth! and guess what? the adult tooth was embedded horizontally in my gums as there was no space to pop out. It also showed that the roots of that baby tooth was already not attached to the insides of my gum...
It had to be extracted out.... And also remove the embedded tooth with an operation.
Resulting in a Boh Gay.. if u know what i mean... hahahah
Well.. I had only 2 options at that point in time.. plant a teeth.. or wear braces...
I chose the latter.. its better to have my own real set of teeth ya? But that would also mean that I would be "ugly betty" for bout 2 years... It wasnt too hard a decision to make.. given that I was attached at the point in time.. and CX wasnt one who put looks at a 1st priorty....
so... looking for a dentist who does installment plan braces wasnt too difficult.. as I had recommendations.. the next Big thing was being told i had to extract 3 more teeth to make space to straighten as my teeth are big.. which explains for the overcrowding..
Ouch.. yes it hurt.
Well... "Mummy!!!! Its OOOvvveeerrrrr"
Pause for a while
I'm gg to the dentist, then to my in laws bday..
which prob means.. i'll blog next week when i'm back.. if i can...
see ya
which prob means.. i'll blog next week when i'm back.. if i can...
see ya
Happy???
Should I be happy?
Just been told that they'll be replacing my desktop with laptop! Yeah!!!!
I'm happy coz i've been wanting a laptop (personal one) for ages..
so that i can move around my house, watch VCDs, blog, surf.. etc
but i thought it a bit too ex..and CX thought desktops are much better as they are more worth it in terms of prices & specs and upgrading possibilities.
When I told CX about it .. he says:
When a person joins a new company.. one of the 1st thing he always look is whether he's getting a desktop or notebook.
Desktop? yeah..most likely no need to work too late or bring work home
Laptop? good luck.. most likely suppose to bring work home.. like him... haha
but its just a theory he says.
so... hmmm... we shall see...
coz yes, i'm the only one at the moment whose com is getting replaced..

Removing It
todays the day when I'm gg to remove most of my braces.. leaving 2 brackets awaiting for the molar teeth gap to close.
its a bit early.. but the dentist wanna take it out anyway.. rather than replacing my broken brackets which will be taken out in 2 mths time anyway.
Its gg to hurt i think.. i'm bringing a cam to take a pic of my mould of crooked teeth at her clinic later..haha well... just for memories.. i kinda missed my bugs bunny teeth...
Maybe.. just maybe.. i'll post the pic up.. and explain why and how it works.. in later posts after my exams..

I'm both excited and scared...I want to do a wonderful job out of it.
But its the 1st time i'll be learning a full sets of accounts in 3 days of a totally diff company, slightly diff way of accounting and using a totally new software, taking it over, bringing this back to our office in Spore alone.
They're relying on me...
