Valentine's Day 2009 part 1

Where did you all go to on St. Valentine's Day this year?(*^_^*)

Yesterday was a day whereby I saw so many couples all coming out on the streets..gosh..hahaa....They're everywhere! You can see girls carrying bouquets of flowers, and GUYs too..hee.. They poor thing, have to carry girl's bag and flowers too, on that day. What to do? It's practically a GIRL's day mah.. haa....

BB asked me to meet him at Suntec City's Giordano @ 5pm. He only came at 535pm!! argghh... anyway, while waiting for him, saw a funny thing! It's a pity that I forgot to take photo of it..hahaa...because I was busy laughing my head off. You know what? I was standing and waiting outside Giordano's manequins' display window there beside IORA. Then 1 family walked past and the little boy was giggling and pointing to his sister to look at the manequin beside and behind me. His sister glanced towards his pointed direction and giggled out loud. I was so curious and thought what happened and so looked behind lor..

HAHAHAHA.....

It's actually the "MALE" manequin's pants has been either "pulled down" or "dropped by itself" to below his knees. hahaha... It looked so funny even though it's not a real man's! Saw a few more family/couple/friends walking by and said "Hey, his Ku4-Zi3 diao4 liao3" haha..

I decided to move away from that place cos if people anyhow take photos of me wif that manequin, then DIE liao lor..it'd look as if I'm the suspect!! ahhahaa....

Oki, finally BB arrived and looked apologetic. Me wasn't really angry la cos I know he's rushed down from his workplace to meet me. =p

So, the next place we went to was to explore LOVE & Co's wedding bands since I read from forums that theirs are very nice and they've wide selection of bands. Well, their place is really sooo beautiful and fit for a Princess like me. MUHAHAHA.... I especially like their big chandeliers which are hung at the center of their showroom.

One thing I like about Love & Co is that their SAs are friendly. :) Calvin (from Suntec's outlet) was the one who attended to us. We saw a couple of rings which we like alot. Me shortlisted 2 rings for myself - a chanel setting with diamonds surrounding half the band, and another one with 3 rows of diamonds surrounding half the band. If I remembered correctly, was quoted S$1728 and S$1200+ respectively. Calvin wrote the models for us and we told him we'll shop around first before making the decision. It's great there as we don't feel being "pushed" to buy. (^_^)p

As we left, I saw 1 pair of chunkier WBs which looked like those which Kings & Queens would wear as they're very BLING BLING! haha...BB said we can go in to try again but I told him nvm next time bah. So he brought me to the surprise venue for dinner..

His surprise venue is none other than Hog's Breath Cafe @ Chijmes. The 1st time we went there was last year's 3rd anniversary and the experience was good as the food was very nice. =)

Yesterday's menu was a 4-set course dinner.

Here's BB with the appetizer - Salad

Me with Passion Fruit Soda & Salad

The Main Course - Terriyaki Chicken & Cod Fish wif Mash potato - YUMMY!!
Very thick Cod Fish.. hehe... so delicious! It's definitely so much better than Big O's Cod fish which is only half its thickness!! *Slurp Slurp*

Eh... missed out on the soup part..but there's nothing much about the soup..just vegetables wif sliced chicken meat pieces..hee... and waiters forgot to serve us soup until we've finished our main dish...haa... but lucky lor, cos if we drank soup first, then we surely won't be able to finish the main dish. ^_^

Here's the dessert! Another great combi of Cold icecream with Warm cake..tastes like butter raisins cake..

Ahh... here's the main SURPRISE of the day.. haha... presenting the PRESENT from BB!! Taa-Daa... it's a raspberry cheescake which he made himself! *lol*
He was telling me not to luff at him before I open to see what it is. Cos.. he said other people's cake are concave whereas his... is *Convex on the top part..haha..

*means the top part of the cake sinks in abit in the middle..hahah...
But nonetheless, it's still a wonderful great effort from BB though I know he's got a scolding from his mom and sister for messing up the kitchen!

After the wonderful meal, the waiter gave us the feedback slip to fill up, and look.... BB is busy filling it up.. *THUMBS up*

After the meal, we walked to Raffles City and passed by Love & Co again..haha.. so this time round, still "gian-ning" the chunky royal rings, we went in to try them out and were served by this nice chatty SA - Floribelle. She's from Philippines and just came here to work 2 mths ago wif the initial thought of joining her husband to work in SG. However, just last mth, her husband was retrenched... :( and her eyes teared abit when she talked about her 10-yr old son whom misses her very much. Anyway, since her hubby has airlines experience of 8 yrs, we told her to ask him to try out SIA lor.. hope everything'll out for her as her hubby (who flew bk to philippines after retrenched) and son will be coming to visit her 2 weeks from now! (^o^)m

Alright, back to the rings, well... it didn't look so nice on our fingers and I think it wasn't practical lor..cos it's really chunky! haahaa...but BB did choose a simple white gold glossy surface band for himself after trying and finding that yellow and rose gold rings doesnt reaully suit his skin color..haha... and worse are those with diamonds! *lol* So, I think diamond rings shld still be left for the LADIES!! *lalalalal*

For a preview of some of their rings, visit this -> http://www.love-and-co.com/prod.htm
We tried "LVC Promise" chunky bling bling rings. :p But my heart's with LVC Ceterno.

After the visit, we walked down to Esplanade and couldn't find "The V Tea Room". Could it have changed its name to "The Cookie Musuem"? hmm.. cos I always thought that place's The V Tea Room..
Well, there's a public singing performance @ the public stage outside Esplanade near the sea. Very nice...sitting there, listening to songs wif gentle breeze blowing against your face..=)

Here's a pic of us there..supposed to capture the heart shape lei..but the auntie didnt take properly. :p
See the red heart in between our heads?

Villa Halia part 2

Last week, I mentioned that I'd post the pics of Villa Halia if possible. So here they are =)

Villa Halia

This is the Courtyard...nice=)

Here's the view of the Gallery room from the inside...air-conned..

A peek of the Gallery room from the outside..which is also part of the Courtyard area.

This is the Wine Bar with the big picture of Ginger flowers ..

Just emailed Elizabeth today with regards to the availability of the room.. still awaiting for her replies together with the info about the set lunch..

not sure whether do they accept us to do our own buffet catering? :-/

Hopefully, the total cost can fit our tight budget... *pray pray*

Villa Halia @ Botanic Gardens

Happy Chinese New Year to all! (*^_^*)

It was so busy for us for the whole of last month... hehe.. busy preparing for Chinese new year and also the spring cleaning. This year's new year passed so quickly and it seems like we did not have time to fully enjoy it. ah... well.. happy times always passes so fast! haa... :)

Well, this year, it is the first time I ever received an Ang-Pao on my 1st day of work from my boss! hehe... I've been working for about 5 years already, imagine that! And this comes from my new company's boss - Bridget. She's such a funny and jovial lady. You should see the way she walks to catch her bus after work every evening, it's just so cute..like a cute penguin. *giggles* :p And of cos, sometimes her words just made me laugh and they brand me a "laughter-box/self-entertainer." haa....
Anyway, it's back to work soon and we have quite a lot to do for this year, seeing the fact that we have 3 less staff in my department.

Oki, enough about work.
BB and me went to *racki* Villa Halia's Gallery room yesterday. We walked such a long way from orchard mrt station to Botanic Gardens. *grumbles* My left foot is having a bad blister after that long walk because the VAIN me wore my new cream-pink heeled shoes lor.. haha...
Nevertheless, it was worth it, I think, because BB said it's his first time ever to visit Botanic Gardens and he very much like Villa Halia, esp. the wine bar.

It was a pity that I didn't manage to take photos of it but there's photos on their website which look exactly in real. Just google Halia restaurant. =)
We missed meeting Lydia (1 of their wedding planner who just left a few mins before we arrived as we went there w/o an appointment), but the lady who attended to us is very friendly and showed us around the place even though there were some people having a small meeting inside its Gallery room. hehe...

She told us we could arrange for our solemnisation to be held either in the Gallery room, or the Courtyard where there's a small waterfall-like structure, or in the Wine Bar. BB suggested that we have our solemnisation in the Wine Bar (which looks very cozy) in the early noon before they open for business first , afterwhich we shall proceed to the Gallery room for the set lunch. I shall have to discuss with our wedding coordinator - Elizabeth regarding this. Hope they allow it w/o any additional cost. hee....


Shall update you all again!! Tata..!~~

Early Christmas Party @ Seng Hwee's Hse

Sigh..feeling kinda unwell recently..bloatedness...suddenly this thought keeps flashing across my mind -- "Being Healthy is the Route to Happiness and Fortune!"

Oh ya..anyway, I've openly hinted to Dar that I want Precious Moments figurine for Xmas present..haha... It's the "Happily Ever After" Prince and Princess Couple.. Actually, I'm having a hard time deciding on whether to get this or the other "You are my Dream Come True".. Both are equally gorgeous! Maybe I'd get Dar to get me for Valentine's next year..hahaa.... gonna use them both for the photoshoot! hee...

Boss on leave starting today

Sigh.. my boss's on leave starting today..and work's piling up..gosh.. not sure whether is it because the other dept's people are taking advantage of this period and trying to make my miserable dept (only left me and uncle) to do so much work! Arrgghhh~~~

So busy today and uncle's not helping me much either.. cos it's been a long time since he type letters of offer, so can't blame him much..

Anyway, been trying to find nice venues for solemnisation recently.. tight budget...haa... so hard to find...quite like Mandai Orchid Garden but need 50 pax at least..
Shall keep finding...

I got a 'surprise'! present yesterday on my table when I came in for work.. Guess what? It's a potted Money plant from our beloved Ms Yongxi!! But --But --But!! It's not a gift for me..haha... it's a gift for me to take care of her baby plant! *faint*

Happenings for the past week

Today, just came upon this website of a girl who has had her dream wedding ROM recently. It just gave me the inspiration to have my very own dream wedding too. I've always wanted a Pink Princessy Garden theme for my wedding. Since ROM marks the official changing of my status, I want to have a special and unforgettable time for that day. Have shown BB the website and he said ok with my request. hehe... So from now, I want to create entries in the blog for my wedding preparation, showing my accomplishment of the props which I'd be "DIY'ing" myself and him. yeah...

Anyway, here's some pics for last friday's buffet dinner at Shangri-la - The Line. OMG! The desserts are to die-for...I especially love the strawberry shortcake which absolutely melts in my mouth deliciously. ahhh~~~~
More photos can be found in my facebook! ^_^

Bad Monday to begin with... announcement from management that they'd be taking away my 2 other colleagues to the Risk dept...and I'd be left all alone in the isolated corner... no one to talk to.. so lonely... only left Yongxi... :( so sad... more work will be added to me too becos of this... sighz....

anyway, 31st oct's Halloween. And we had great fun partying at Zouk! It was my 1st time dressing up in costume and walking along the streets of Singapore. hahaha... exciting and cool to be a different person for a day! ^_^


It's so crowded @ Zouk, many many funny,interesting and scary characters there. Sandy was so brave and initiated a chatup wif 2 guys.. so that we can get into the place quick. Haa... cos the Q was so long outside.

We partied till 4am in the morning and the girls were totally wasted. Sandy drove us back home and oh dear.. it was raining heavily in the west side when she sent me home. Anyway, pictures can be found on my facebook a/c. :)

It's darn boring without pc at work... Worse, there's no spare pc for me to use and I can't surf the internet OMG~~ it just went dead last friday in the evening.. and IT told me the fastest the IBM support can come to fix it will be this tuesday. Phew... they're finally finished with it after I kept bugging them with phonecalls. haha...

hehe.. kinda busy again lately. I know it's the same old excuse again! haha..

anyway, today, I was not feeling so well. Have been getting giddy spells since 2 days ago. Perhaps it's due to me trying to slim down? haha...

Found new job!!! Yeah

yeah!! hehee.. as title suggested, I've found a new job... :) I was offered the job of Senior Compliance Officer on 2-5-08, Friday and agency called to inform me on saturday morning. hee... So fast.. was caught unprepared because I only went for the interview on 30-4-08. Then I was on vacation leave till 6-5-08.

So Yesterday 7-5-08, I finally submitted my resignation letter to Big Boss. Was sad and teared while talking to her because the only thing holding me back is the wonderful people here and the associations and bondings that I've made with OC people for the past 4 yrs. BB consoled me and said anytime I can come back again and asked me to keep in touch with her. I was relieved...hee... another good news is that my new office is just behind my current place..so I can still meet up with my colleagues here... And go home or play after work or even makan crab session! ^_^

Today, I went to sign the letter of offer and was amazed to find the new place so spacious.. I was told by HR that I'd be on the same level as the GM, HR , Legal... woooo.... stress....

Surprisingly, the hated 'witch' didnt come and talk to me anything about my resignation. I tried to avoid her also..hahaa.... Don't know if she's shocked or not.. hmmm...

Oki, went Marina Sq with Sharon to eat dinner. Ate at this Wakaru pasta... not bad... then bought a ring!! ^_^ hee... Only $6.95. The china salesgirl was quite friendly and we chatted and ended up I bought the ring..hahaha...

Yeah, tmr going out with AS gang! So surprised to receive Felix's sms just now when he initiated to go out for dinner and movie session...hahaa.. must be ANNA!!! He must be having a 'crush' on ANNA... ahhaha....

ok, too full now... going to watch a Bug's Life on youtube..kekeke...

Home-made Dumplings

Yesterday, mom made dumplings, shui-jiaos, wu xiang for dinner..haha... daddy woke up early with her and went market to get the ingredients.
Yummy! Both of them are very free these days since their shop is closed for renovation till sometime end of the year. hee.. so mom was saying she'd have lots of free time making different kinds of food. ^_^
Actually, I have also told them to sign up for some social dance classes or perhaps taiji classes in the CC, but mom scared she's chicken leg and can't catch up with the instructor's fast notes.. haha...

Oki, dear came to my house and we ended up playing mj with my parents..
Not bad, he won 2 times in a row , including last week. haha...
I lost!!!

hmmm... I'm still searching for my job.... sighz... hated work so much now.. don't wanna see that F***ing boss of mine.. SIGHZ!!!!
oh dear, I can't imagine myself scolding such things.. hahaa... people always thought I'm a goody2shoes... hmmm... come to think of that, maybe I should put all these blames on that boss of mine!! ahahhaa... she caused me to become like that!! WAHAHAH...

anyway, did pretty much nothing for the weekend...
Xiaohui sms me yesterday to say she's flying off to Japan for honeymoon today!!
So GOOD!!! I wanna go too!! But I told her to buy alot of goodies food back..muacahhaa.... I want Burrberry blue label!!??? heee
