6th Oct, went to royal hotel to attend erwin's colleagues (ben and cindy) wedding... hope that they have a blissful marriage.. the wedding was a simple one... no games no nothing... just the basic yum send, cake cutting, champagne pouring, and 2 march-ins....

7th Oct, i had a fondue party at my house... the chocolate was really nice...

12th Oct, today we celebrated my boss's bday... his actual bday is on the 15th oct... but becos his bday falls on our company's public holiday, thus, we celebrated on on friday... we surprised him with gifts, cakes and dinner after work... hard work wor... the cake was really nice.. it was an enjoyable day and in fact brought our relationship among my colleagues closer...

13th Oct, we had a stall at lime bazaar... its was really bad... the ppl in-charge of the lime bazaar... din have my name in the list... and have to make another stall somewhere for us... and it rained in the middle of the afternoon also... thus, it probably affected our business... sales was good... total takings was $250.50... today sujuan, jinny, szemin came over to my stall to pay me a visit... really appreciated it... esp. sujuan... helped me out abit here and there... and even stand in the rain also... hugs and kisses for sujuan... then after we closed... we went over to pasta mania for dinner.. so qiao... saw jinny and szemin again... but along with cindy,jackson and their friend... chatted with them awhile before we left for mustafa... at mustafa, we bought victoria secret's body splash... the smell was nice... what i earned during the bazaar was spent on two bottles of victoria secrets... sobsobs...

24th Sep is the first day of work at Bilcare, my new company. a coincidence that its also the first day of Bilcare's new CEO. thus, was slightly neglected by HR... haa... this first week i would say i have a cultural shock ba... a new environment thus, the working style,environment and culture is something that i have to get used to. the major difference, i would say is the lunch thing... becos of the lack of public transport access to the place.. lunch is a problem... the nearest place where things are edible would be at simei, eastpoint... and if u wan to go there, you are only left with 30mins due to the time taken to travel to and fro and the allocated time slots that the shuttle bus will arrive... thus, the result is that i brought home cooked food to work... In a way, im saving money... as i wun have the opportunity to shop, or even spend on food and drinks while at work... jus this one week at my new workplace, caused me to gain 1kg, which i haven figured out why... maybe becos i dun get to eat lunch outside, thus, not much of walking...

met up with ray and kelly on saturday, we finally decided to meet up at esplanade, ichiban boshi.. we ate quite alot of things... the total bill cost us about $97. when we first saw ray, it din feel like we have not met for long... it felt like we have already met yesterday... i think its good to feel that way... otherwise, we would feel like strangers instead...

this week din do much on preparing my wedding... jus looked up some make up artist's webby but haven come to a conclusion on who to use.. cos we saw one quite nice de... but on the singaporebrides forum, there were a number of ppl commenting about her being late and showing her attitude... thus, i was quite concerned... now still on a lookout for makeup artist and videographer...

hmmm... on sunday, i was packing my things, looking for things that i dun wan so that i can sell them off during the 13th oct lime bazaar... after that, suddenly felt like painting my living room's wall... thus, asked my brother to help out... then i was sweat, dizzy and tired while trying to tape the aircon, ceiling,etc before i start painting the wall... it took us about 2hours to paint one wall... all of us were sweating profusely, which i dunno why... we actually run out of paint when we were finishing soon.. the top part of the wall where the aircon is... we din paint as we thought that no one would be able to see it... but we were wrong... after washing the brushes, rollers, etc... when we are standing at the main door, we could obviously see that part which is supposed to be painted is not painted... haiz... no choice.. cos we seriously run out of paint...

next week, gonna meet up a videographer to see their works, gonna attend a wedding on sat and having fondue on sunday... as i bought the fondue fountain which i always wanted...

gosh... din have the time to update... as was busy working and handing over to the temp staff who is taking over me... I was supposed to teach a new staff, however, she is only able to join in Nov'2007... then there was farewell dinner at serangoon garden at cafe cartel... i had a sirloin steak... it was the first time that i had medium rare steak... it was so bloody... i wun wanna try medium rare again... medium is jus nice for me... perhaps will post some of the photos of my colleagues soon... i miss working at IMH... sobsobs.. somehow, have a tinge of regret that i resigned from IMH... everyone is so nice.. the work environment is also nice.. haiz... Hope that it is not a wrong choice to join Bilcare... hope i get the opportunity to learn more things... hope i can learn and adapt soon... Im really in no mood to talk much about what happen during the week... but during my last month at IMH, i was feeling both happy and sad... happy that i have nice colleagues, sad that im leaving them...

Update about my wedding preparation... im in the midst of looking for my actual day makeup artist.. i have rented a "Kua" for my wedding day... to wear during tea ceremony and also when i thank guests for attending the banquet... i also rented a "kua" for my mother.. to wear during the tea ceremony and the banquet...

Had a Lime Bazaar on Sep22, we were late for the set up of the stall... we actually started setting up the stall at 1pm... business was brisk... we were busy but happy with the sales... at least this is the best sales among our previous bazaar sales... we raked up to $395 of sales at the end of the day... we have so many customers until we were the last stall to close shop.. even the workers who are keeping the tables, chairs and umbrella, had to chase us away... A good start... Luckily we managed to get a stall at the Lime Bazaar on the Oct13 also... hope we get back the same spot also... if you are free, do come down and look for us also... =)

This week, i started to look out for my Actual Day(AD) photographer. It suddenly came to me that i have to start looking for one. On Monday, i spent my nite after work looking through the wedding forums like Style wedding, SGbrides for recommendations.

On Tuesday, i spotted a particular thread, recommending their own AD photographer and it attracted alot of positive comments from other people also. Thus, i decided to email the photographer to look at his works. He then gave me his website showing a few of his works. Then, i asked kelly, adrian, annie and of course erwin to view it, see whether it is good or not... kelly and adrian said that the pictures are normal. But annie thinks that its not bad.. i came across another website that is taken by professionals... and i was comparing between the both of them... I was thinking of choosing one between the two... after one day of picture viewing and discussion on the photos with annie and erwin... i decided to meet up with desmond ho (email:wedding_photog@yahoo.com.sg) We think that his photos captured are fun and natural... it is the kind of photos that i would want to take for my wedding...

On wednesday, after work, erwin asked me to go Zouk... It has been a long time since i last went to Zouk. I think i haven been to Zouk for more than a year already... after some persuasion by him, i decided to go... So i quickly changed a top and off we go... we reached at about 10pm... xiaoqi said that she would only reach at about 11+pm. Thus, we went over to Grand Corpthrone Hotel's "The Piano Bar".. The atmosphere is not bad... we sat on a comfy sofa, the lights are dim orange. We then order a bucket of 5 bottles "erdinger white" which cost $40 before GST and service charge...

Their peanuts so high class.. their ikan bilis are so big size and they use cashew nuts... not those cheap kind of peanuts that you get in those pubs... in the bowl, there is also lemongrass leaves?, and dried chilli... the dried chilli is so damn hot that my right ear was in pain...

while drinking, we were enjoying the live band... the female singer is good, her voice is so power... she is those kind who has those "shi li"... she asked us to dedicate songs for her to sing... they are so friendly.. after their live band finished at 11.30pm... they came over to our tables to say "hi" and introduced themselves.. and wished us a "good nite"... so nice of them...

after that, xiaoqi came over... then we went to Zouk... it was so fun... the music is still the same though... i enjoyed it.. might consider going to zouk during mambo nite "again"...

On thurs, i have difficulty waking up... i seem to have a hangover... gosh... i was so tired while at work... I was like a zombie... sobsob... felt like i regret clubbing on wednesday even though i had fun and enjoyed...

On fri, erwin, me, kelly and adrian are supposed to meet up at IMH at 7pm to play badminton.. however, kelly has work commitments and only managed to finish her work at 8pm... thus when she arrived at IMH, it was already 8.30pm... our booking is from 7 - 9pm... but we played until about 10pm.. after that, we went for supper... while on our way to boat quay to fetch liting and huiping... we saw fireworks... not sure what it is about.. below is photo taken at SMU traffic light..

On sat, annie ask if i wanna go out... after quite alot of sms exchanges... i wanna go bugis... cos last week din manage to finish shopping there... we met at 4pm... I parked at raffles hospital... their charges there are not expensive... the first 3 hours cost me $1.83 only... cheaper as compared to $3 for 3 hours at public carparks.. while shopping, i guess joseph got quite bored... i think he got tired of waiting for us... haa... so sorry joseph... i managed to chance upon a pair of white lacy heels... which i can use for my Actual Day... it only cost me $29...

On sun, i meet up with kelly and adrian to go to their office to help them with their emcee casting.. there were about 7 ppl who came... i was supposed to rate them based on some criteria... to see if they are suitable to be emcee or not... it ended at about 3pm... we proceed to have lunch and went over to tanjong pagar to finish the bridal shops that they have not visited.. We first went to milan... they were okay onli... but i did saw a gown thats nice... it those princess kind, with crystals on the gown... not quite sure how to explain it.. another one is feline... i also liked a wedding gown there! i like it so much, that i even ask them how much they charging for rental... she then told me that for that kind of design she would have to charge me $2500.. but suggest that i buy a package which also cost $2500, which includes one wedding gown, one evening gown and actual day make up, etc... i also went over to a few other bridal shops.. but i dun wish to mention them, as there is also nuthhin special about them... one more to mention is "house of etiquette".. they sell those necessities required for chinese traditions... and of cos, they dun sell gowns... but they sell "kua"... there is one that i like.. the assistant said that it is called "kua wang"... it is sliverish, gold in colour.. it takes about one year to make it... i think even for rental... it also cost $1000+... the below picture is the normal red "kua" that i wanna rent... it has embroidery of the dragon and phoenix.. quite nice... so i decided to give it a try... i dunno why i seem to look farnie or weird in the "kua"... i maybe renting it... it will cost me $298 for rental... and before i take the "kua" out... i have to pay a security deposit of $500... thats alot.. sobsob..

after seeing another few stores, like di gio and thomson... we then proceed to a chinese restaurant for dinner... will download the pictures when im free...

gosh... coming week will be a hectic week for me too... I'll be meeting the AD photographer to discuss about the details and price, i'll also be going for "photoshoot" and blood donation... probably this week, i'll start to find the AD make-up artist or prepare our budget to see what is required to buy...

During the week, my days are quite packed. On tuesday, 28/08, i met up with william and kelly. supposedly we were supposed to meet up at minds cafe in boat quay. but william took mc so end up we met up at AMK instead.. we arrived at NEBO, another concept similar to minds cafe.. but no one served us, and we were wondering what games to play... then we order the food.. after that the waiter told william that they are closing at 10pm, so most likely we wun get to play a full 2 hours of the game.. so we walked out and end up at pizza hut.. P.S. Pizza hut also close at 10pm.. i was like =_="... while eating, we also update each other.. then realise that it is our two year aniversary knowing each other since we started out part time studies at PSB...

Sujuan mentioned to me that she want go on short trip.. i also want!!! she interested to go genting... i also dun mind... i wanna go also... while eating, we looked thru the pictures (ROM, my phuket trip in july, our Bangkok trip in may, my genting trip in july, graduation on sat) then i also gave her the photos that she wants... my lap top is so heavy!!! i wanna change my laptop!! but i got no money to change... anyway, it is a want not a need... so it can wait... after we settled the bill, btw, thank you sujuan for the treat!! We went to metro, see what we can buy. Metro is having big sale... it really is big discount... i bought three tops.. that i wanted, it is those kind of knitted wear, cardigan material.. after 70% discount.. it onli cost me $5.97 per top... so cheap that i bought three...
