Wedding Bells

Attended my Biao Yi's wedding on Vesak Day:


She had some wedding photos taken with her braces on! Kinda cute!




My Fav Aunt with her younger daughter... Isnt she so CUTE?


Love her to bits!





Do u realised that the person trying to take self pictures.... has a more restrained expression most of the time?
I looked at the photos.. and had this realisation.

LADY

I love being called a lady, it makes me feel... like I'm somewhat grown up, respected and yet not old..
I think.. it sounds more posh.. as compared to being called a girl or a woman.. haha

I dunno why but it just gives me an ego boost when people introduced me or addresses me or referred me as a lady.
Especially by my superiors and friends.
wait wait.. let me go check what does 'lady' means


Wikipedia:
huh.... so they are trying to say my husband is a gentleman instead of me as an individual!!!
A lady is a woman who is the counterpart of a lord; or, the counterpart of a gentleman.

hahah! I like this better:

Dictionary.com:
A well-mannered and considerate woman with high standards of proper behavior.
A woman regarded as proper and virtuous.
A well-behaved young girl.
A woman to whom a man is romantically attached.
Informal A wife.

A woman who is the head of a household.
A woman, especially when spoken of or to in a polite way.
A woman to whom a man is romantically attached.


I AM A LADY!!! YEAH


"Dear CX,

Your lady wants her lunch now.
NOW NOW NOW!!

Yours Sincerely,
A well-behaved young girl. Linda


hahahah

Mis Que

My wonderful chef gave me a shock today. ...

Was he trying to create a romantic atmosphere?

The kind u get to see in wedding dinners? smoky effect as the happy couple walks in? hahah

I guess its the 2nd time i witness this situation, the 1st one was when we were overseas and he was trying to cook a meal for me as i laid sick in bed unaccostumed to the weather there a year plus ago???

Moral of the story...

do NOT run water over a very hot wok immediately after cooking..

bon appetite !

Too Much Fun, Too Little Time

Sigh... I just dont seem to have enough time for all the activities lined up.
Why are there only 24 hrs a day?

Stupidity in Check

Never again will I be so gulliable.
Sigh.. Luckily I have not taken the step right into it.

Juz so happy

I'm gg to Mambo tonight with Khim! hehehe

just when I thought that this mth i overspent my $, my husband sms me to say he'll come fetch us home tonight.

Yeah! Dun need to be scared of gg home alone and also save on cab fare! heheheheh <><><><>!!!

Hopefully he manages to borrow the car. *cross fingers*

soooo many years ago.. Is that where I made wonderful my pen palsDave & Yoko?
Tell me tell me!!!

Sheepish

hahah.. Attended a wedding dinner last night.. and i introduced my younger bro to Red Wine.

He was asking my husband if he had been drunk before... blah blah blah..
to which my husband replied yes and got scolded by taxi uncle all the way back to his house coz he puked in the taxi.

I told my brother, actually, when u drink till high high, you feel like you can fly one.. like floating.
But after 1 1/2 glasses, my bro exclaim no feeling.. so then i say: you muz drink fast fast.. and big glups.. then u will reach the "seh' stage very fast.
And if your face becomes red after drinking, means your blood circulation very good.

Upon hearing this, he downed the red wine real fast, and my aunt happened to see it: Aiyo! Red wine cannot drink like that one! Later you will get drunk and puke. Suppose to sip one.....

The next moment, my mum turned around and looked at him and started nagging all the way ... non stop till on the way home!
"wait u drop dead .. want me to carry u home ah? wait u vomit how? drink so fast like that will die one u know? who told u face red means blood circulation very good? etc etc etc...."

er.... lucky he never " bao doh" me hahah


This morning, I smsed him if he had a hangover, he haughtily replied: nothing.. need more glasses to be drunk.

I promised him that I'll drink with him when he comes my house to stay, then we'll see how many glasses he can take b4 he gets really drunk. haha

Heh heh- Upgrade

I've upgraded to the new verison of our sametime today!
And we could really see the emoicons now. compared to only symbols previously.







Sametime: Internal MSN with our colleagues worldwide.. this is good when I just cannot wait for email replies when I need something urgently.though sometimes we 'gossip' thru this..

Tornado

After a 2.5 hr lunch today, this is what I saw:



Are you seeing what I am seeing?

Confused?

When you have identical twins, its best to dress them like this:






I can't tell them apart when they are in this set of clothings:




And Silly CX claims he has triplets when I was snoozing:
Only that one was weirder coz no mittens and yet a lot of hair !!!!!!!
Jus Coz I have Identical Clothing!

Fri Nite Outings

Sometimes.. when you have no where to go in the middle of the night, just driving around aimlessly for the sake of feeling shiok, you can:

Walk along here with a romantic setting:

or even catch what the animals are up to when no one is looking:

Amazed

I cant believe this tiny room can fit 200 MRT Staff.

(Well, its just me being Bo Liao and trigger happy)

eeeeeEEEEE

After visiting the loo...

Muz Wash Hands...

I know of some people who just dont.

Cookies Design Contest

Yet another few hours "off work" to celebrate global days

Whatcha Looking At?

In return for the soft toys my colleague buys for me, this is what I got him.

I knew straight away I had to get him this when i set my eyes upon it.

He claims it looks very much like him.

hahah

A new taste for me

Till date, I've tried deep Fried Ice-cream a few months back.
(though i do not have to pic in this computer.. it was something very nice)


Today, its:

Tempura Ice Cream

Knocked Out

This is my cousin. Knocked out after trying to entertain me by cycling in cycles really fast and making sudden brakes in between for 20 mins. Maybe coz i kept making very impressed sounds.. haha

She's real cute

Noise Pollution

Do you know how frustrating the sound of a hair dryer can be while u are asleep?





haha its just too bad i'm gg to meet my aunt on a lazy sat morning.

Childhood games

Yeah! As a winner of playing this game during office hours:








This was what I got:


I can only remember we all took ages just tryng to end the game.... Just when we thought one of us is reaching the destination... we come sliding down the snake.

But yeah! We were off work for bout more than 30 min to complete this ONE game.

Freaking Cold

I once popped this whole thing into my mouth and i had a hard time swallowing my saliva.

The "thing" wasn't even chewable and i had to wait for it to be slightly melted b4 i could bite on it, and once I managed to... all I got was a wave of brain freeze.

...

Took leave from blogging.. coz just too lazy

LL House

U know QB house? It charges $10 per hair cut.

Now, I'm gg to cut CX's hair.. hahah charging $9.90.
Got discount ok?

Hope its not too ugly.. anyway.. reservist no one see one mah.. haha

BB's 1st mth

Went over to a sec sch fren's bb 1st mth last sat.
She's so cute! But i cannot imagine myself having a kid at the moment.

For someone who needs sleep badly and will go mad when deprived of sleep.. I'll nvr be a good mother. haha

At Liting's house, I met up with quite a few Sec sch mates.
Dunno why but i felt very happy.. its like been quite sometimes since we last saw one other, yet, we were able to chat easily without feeling awkward. We reminisced of the old sch days and tease one another... It was fun!

Hhhmmm....I wonder when is the next meet up?

hhhmmmppphhh!

As I was leaving home for work this morning.. i noticed 2 gold $1 belonging to my husband on the table.


Making a mental note to tell him that i wanted them before I pocketed the $, this was wat I did.



Upon reaching home, i recalled about the gold coins and wanted to ask him for it.
And this was what i found:



Arghhh!




And so, i stood outside the bathroom, waiting for him to finish bathing...



ME (while pouting...as he open the door) : "how come the $1 coins become 5 cents?"

Him (took a look at me and laughs): u waited outside just to ask me this? U wanted to save all gold coins ma.. its still gold in color.



He hid them under the biscuit tin...




But now, its safely in here... hehehe
I wonder how many $1 is inside now.. although its not even 1/2 full

A meet up with Ugly Duckling

Had dinner with a long 'lost' friend today.... and I came face to face with 3 ugly ducklings:

Did u notice that the one on the right .. although ugly.. has very STYLO 'hair'?

Looks cute eh?

I think i'm a very cruel person.. the 1st attempt to try, i destroyed its stylo hair.. and the 2nd attempt , i ended up beheading the duck.. and i got a very shocked look from Gary. haha

Do not judge a book by its cover.

On the way home... i felt very happy as i learnt something... I am a very smart person..

In fact, all of us are very damn smart.

It goes like this: His uncle was telling his young son that he was extremely smart .. coz he swam very fast and reached the finishing point 1st.

Maybe i'm not that clever.. coz i could not catch the meaning behind it.. and needed him to explain... can u catch it?

Labour Day gathering

Yesterday,I finally managed met up with Yoko for a long catching up session and then groceries shopping @ Meiyi-da

She's comin to my house for a Jap sushi making mini party...

This is our dear sweet Yoko (The Teacher)

We are really very hardworking students:

The result:

Menu:
1) Inari Zushi ( sushi wrpped with brown color sweet toufu )
2) Futo maki ( Rolling sushi)
3)Onigiri ( triangle rice with Nori )
4)Miso shiru ( Miso soup)
5)Tori no Kara age( fried chicken)

In return, I got CX to teach Yoko one of her Fav dish- Sambal Kang Kong

YEAH!

The food is great.. hehe

Yao Gui

hhmmmm this action of mine made me.... vomitted 5 times and visited the loo 3 times..in a short span of less than 24 hours.

On 25 Apr, for a mini celebration, CX & I went Pariss to try the buffet there, i could say its not too bad..
we were actually trying to find a Jap restuarant before deciding on Pariss : Tokyo Sin which apparently serves Japanese cuisine buffet.
I was so looking forward to it that both of us took for granted that the other party knew where the exact location should be...only with the knowledge that it was near to citylink, we walked around the area bout 3 times before I grudgingly gave up.
Reason being... I was so so looking forward to the sashimi, shisamo, cha soba, etc etc... and ended up could not locate the restuarant.

So even though Pariss costs quite a fair bit more... i still wasnt so contented..

Then came Fri, lunch time, 6 of us went to margaret drive to have the famous chicken rice and 20 steam dumplings and 20 fried gyozas. Dinner was planned way in advance where my colleagues and I met up with a couple of ex colleagues to have a buffet dinner .. as they reason we could sit, eat, chat, eat... without anyone chasing us.
The food was good.. i wacked the sashimi & the ebi coz they were very nice....

and so resulted in an upset stomach and a series of vomit.

Actually Cx was quite sweet to accompany me throughout the night while i was gagging my lungs out.

We both sat in the kitchen with him on the floor and me on a dining chair with a plastic bag over my chin all through the night... ya.. what a sight right? i know... luckily i haven turned him off food hahah

Sat ended with an acute gasrtic pain in the stomach and super painful injection to stop it all.

I now swear off buffets for at least 3 mths!!! =(

Stop before it goes of out control

Today….. it’s suppose to be very special day to me.
Yet, I do not feel excited about this day

What’s worse is that somehow I did end up feeling excited, especially on my way to work, but the excitement of today was not because of this special day.
Instead…. its something quite the opposite, some event that may push me further and further from you.

Oh Dear….what the hell is happening??

Views

Different people have different views and standards on how a relationship is or should be.
Whats yours?

Sometimes, people will envy how your relationship is like, yet, you feel that this is not what you are looking for to consider it as wonderful.
Sometimes, people will criticize on how or why it should not be this way, that its not up to standard point of view and yet, you feel so blissful.
Its confusing. Brain cells dead.

Actually, i guess the most important thing is how you yourself think

Clueless

My husband emailed me yesterday:

CX: I bought a present for you
Me: How come? Whats the occasion?
CX: no occasion.. coz dear very sian these few days ma
Me: wah.. really.. wat did u buy?
CX: Something small and cheap la.. dun hope too much. Just wanted to cheer u up
Me: Wah.. something small.... I know what liao : DIAMOND Ring! Hahahaha
CX: no la, I already said something cheap

I had to search for my 2 presents thru the house … only with 2 clues:
Very Hot & Very Cold…
Where would u have looked at?


Hhmm… is it if I keep feeling very sian.. I will get lots of little presents?
hahah

A Phone Call

Just after I typed in my previous post about procrastinating to call my Grandma...
I picked up my HP to call her up.. hoping that she has not gone to bed...8 plus

At the sound of her voice.... I felt a sense of warmth filling my heart.
Nope.. i did not wake her up.. but realised that I missed her a lot.
She was eating fruits at the time of my call...

My Grandma.. so much memories rose in my head.
The lady whom looked after me and my bro when we were young.. together with my 2 cousins..
The 4 of us would always hide in her bedroom while she was always busy with making something for us to eat in the kitchen....We were all so chubby under her care..

The 4 of us would be dancing on her bed, make believe we were holding a concert.. having fans & encores, jumping on the mattess... using her bolster as a mic. At the end of the day, her bed was always in a big mess.. and she would mumble/ scream or shake her head. hahah

I still recall snatching her bolster from her in the middle of the night.. then she would try to snatch back from me when she thought i was in deep sleep.. and it would go on and on.

I still recall i was always so angry with her for me being late for kindergaten. Always the last to reach and had to stand in front of the line. Unable to line in pair with a guy I had a crush on.. Yeah.. i think i grew up fast .. haha But yet, each time she would be in time to pick me up....not letting me play at the play ground before we head home.

I still recall she would always scold my uncles when they secretly bought ice cream for us to eat... braving up against my Grandma's scolding.. so she strongly believed that small kids should not eat ice cream...

I still recall clearly once when she was bathing and i sat on her dressing table with a pair of scissors and began trimming my fringe. The feeling of cutting hair was so shiok that i realised i was left with almost 1.5cm of fringe, she almost fainted and was so worried bout how my mum would react when she saw me.

Another incident was when she brought me to the doctor. I hated it so much coz i knew it meant i had to take medicine, so when the doctor tried to put the stethoscope on my chest.. i kicked him hard in his balls.. and no.. i didnt knew why it hurt so much or that was a different part from my body at that time. Except that the doc looked seriously pissed and my grandma was so alarmed that she kept on "soli soli soli!!!"

I recall that whenever i visit her, she always cooks up a feast and forced me to finish the food (even when i turned up unannouced so that I can escape eating for 3pax's share,I'm not over-exaggerating, she'll always find something from the fridge, drawers, cupboards,to cook), she'll not let me do the dishes so that i will stay longer saying to wait for her to finish washing.. and she'll rewash & rewash & rewash till close to very late into the night.

Or when she complains that I dun bring her out for walks, but each time we arranged and i was on the bus reaching her house, she'll say "aiya...ah mah headache, cannot go out.. other day la.. u go home okie?" Aarrrggghhh!!!


While we chatted, i described at length to her how my house look like.. as she has never been here.. she missed it during Chinese New Year as she had to wait up for an aunt to visit her while the rest of my relatives came over...
I told her about my experience with putting on braces, how i realised that only at 26 years old, learnt that my baby teeth was still firmly intact in my gums.. the pulling of 4 teeth, the surgery of an embedded tooth while she balked at the price of extracting a teeth cost 40 while she had hers extracted at only 15... All the while she kept chiding me for not telling her so that she could brew some nourishing chinese herbal soup for the blood i lost.

She chided me for not learning how to cook from her or watch her cook while i was staying with her when she learnt from me that most of the time, it is my husband who cooks for me.
Saying that a girl should know how to cook well and look after the family. I felt embarassed...
I remember she cooked very well.. loved her curry fish head, her fried omelettes, stirred fried veg, fish porridge, etc etc... It saddens me that when i told her i missed those dishes she cooked, she told me she could no longer cook that well.. coz of her migraine and aching arms and legs..

We chatted for almost 3 hrs.. my HP was so hot against my ear...and she started nagging that I have not bathed... its so late now.. cannot wash hair... at night cannot wash hair... wait next time old will have a lot of headaches..next time dun so late then bath.. remember ah.. dun so late bath next time.. aiyo.. why so late haven bath... next time bath le then call me.. and anytime can call me.. i dun sleep so early. dun worry.. dun so late bath ah.. dun wash hair at night ah... blah blah blah" (yes.. she's very repetitive.. super) The hangup routine takes about 10 mins each time.

To my grandma,
I hope you'll not grow old so fast... i miss the days even when i felt u were so strict and naggy and nearly wanted to strangle you. hahah
I wanna bring you to see my house for yourself soon so that you wun need to imagine.

Okie, I shall set it to next week or the week after next!
Its a MUZ DO ! I hope she'll not put me aeroplane.

Lethargic

Did u have days where u just didnt feel like doing anything , and i mean anything at all?
So much things or errands to be done and yet you just dun even feel like starting?

Procastination...

Thats what I've been feeling for like..... the past few weeks?
Thus, the missing entries for a while.

I cant seem to keep myself focus... be it whatever i was doing at the moment.
My thoughts would sway to other things which i wasnt doing at the very moment. And yet, when i stop watever i was doing to do what was was on my mind.. i procrastinate.
I just.. I dun even feel like doing anything at all... staring into space.. blankly..
Nothing seem to hold my interest at all.

Is that normal???

I think i need a break..
but i do not know wat to do while having the break.


A lobg list of:
Exercising, finishing up my reconcilations, practising keyboard, playing guitar, cooking, ironing clothes, doing cross stitch, reading, playing board games or my fav UNO, blogging, watching TV/ VCD, Karaoke, keeping a look out for jobs, packing, making cards, calling my grandma,......

Maur Chinese....

Hmmm... this is very interesting:

183 club

On the way back home, i wanted to disturb CX.

Me: hey.. i keep forgetting.. just exactly how tall are u?
CX: dear.. u always ask the same questions.. 182
Me: haha then u cannot join the 183 club .. not eligible... "guffaws"
CX: 你更不可以 hor?
Me: ' feeling stupid'

Sick

Been sick for the past few days...

yes.. i must be thankful that CX did all of the house work in addition to cooking for me and washing up.

The meals had been very tasty.. just too bad that i wasnt well enuff to take pics to post.

franklyI guess he's just a much better cook than me. Plus I'm super lazy.. usually when i think of needing to clean up after cooking, i'll find excuses to ta bao. And it always result in he cook & wash up..

I hope he pardon me for the low moods the past week... dunno what got into me... he muz have been so stressed dealing with me.

I think i often take him for granted. Should stop this bad behaviour!!!
but i always cant do it.. bad Linda

New Ipod Nano

I have a new ipod!

Its called Chipod (found out by CX) ---> Chinese Ipod

Its a 'cheong" 4 GB Ipod Nano.. but i like it.. coz i can watch MTV on it!

It costs $90 ( I bargained and succeeded at the IT Fair-heh heh)

Hope it isnt too disappointing.... I've yet to try out thoroughly.

I wanna go there someday

I learnt about a new & interesting Theme Park while in Sam's car.
I LOVE THEME PARKS! with lots of interesting and heart stopping rides!

I saw a badge pinned on the passenger's seat mirror board..
On it says:" Knott's" Everyone has to go there some day.
Curious, I asked him if he knew where is that place.

He began telling me about this theme park where it celebrates Halloween for the whole of Oct.
It happens at the 'ghost town' area. (usually u go there in the evening)
There would be lots of staff dressed up in scary costumes and most of the time hiding somewhere out there in the theme park and suddenly pops out to scare you.

Be it whether you are just strolling around, (something will pop out behind/ from the tree) or when u are resting on a bench ( and suddenly an arm underneath the bench reached out and grabbed his leg)

It sounds so fun.. i wanna go there someday...

Knott's Berry Farm
With over 165 wild rides, shows and unique attractions just steps from Knott's Resort Hotel, Knott's Theme Park is the place to go for family fun and thrill seeking adventure!

What Are They Doing???

This is done secretly, but as i wasnt very discreet, CX awarded me with a scowl. (hehe)

Last day of CNY and YYKX members are gathered at my house for a "Lo Hei"

Khim mentioned that Sakae's Lo Hei is not bad! So we headed down to Northpoint's to get one.

But can u believe it? It's out of stock, there were stackes of "Lo Hei" boxes near the cashier but it's all been pre-ordered & reserved!

Arghhh.. maybe I'll have to wait for next year to try it.

Even Cold storage & NTUC were out of stock.

It's okie, i told myself... we still have "Golden Pillow" to try, but was later excecuted as we need to wait 2 hrs.

And so.. hahaha

Khim & I came up with a good proposal.. Get the Guys to cook for us...

Yeah!

so while the guys went marketing and cooking, Khim & I hung out in the air-conditioned chill out room for gossips..

Until:

The feast

Omelette with sliced mushrooms and diced tomotoes

Thick egg soup with dunno what secret ingredients and receipe (hmmpH)

i know there's tomato, tofu, egg.. and ......???

Wa Wa (Dolly) Vege with pork ribs (Adrian discovered this veg name while he's in China)

Tofu with mushroom and bean sauce... yummy!

Forcing the chefs to take a pic:

hahaha thank you! Yong.Yuan.Kai.Xin (YYKX)

Gong Xi Fa Cai! Huat Ah!

SHIT

In the mist of rushing my work, My CFO gave this to me:

CFO: Linda, for you, try it.. It's nice!

Me: "huh.. Looks like SHIT lei"

CFO: -.-"'

CFO: Its really nice, try it.

Me: U not lying to me hor? U sure can eat?

CFO: Yes, of course!

Me:"okie lor"

hmmm.. surprisingly.. its not bad!

I learnt that this Shit look-a-like is : FIG

Lazy Sunday

Can't believe I actually woke up at 9 plus A.M!!!

I guess it was due to the past weekends being too packed with programs.

The IT Fair clashed with our Mint Museum itinery today...

Even all our office's TV were rocking... it's still not known where is the earthquake as at now..

When I emailed CX about it.. he said Tampines also, even AF's office @ Braddell also felt it.
Guess its quite a major earthquake.

TQ's sister who's working at Shaw House was asked to evacuate the building!

I din dare to go ladies for fear of being trapped in there!

hmm... i hope all is well.

Short post.. back to work
