With love, from Husband!

After a week of wait, the surprise is here!
My very own iPhone! Our couple phone! My wedding gift! *cry* My Dopod D810 have been with me for 2 years already! My longest life phone ever. But it's dying on me slowly. Keep hanging and battery drain off within a day. Didn't managed to recontract with Singtel to get the iPhone previously because I used my plan to get it for the husband instead. See I so nice. :P
Actually the courier came a week ago but the phone suffered from quite abit of scratch so apple sent another courier over to pick up the item and took them almost a week to send me a new one. Nevertheless no complain because I don't even have to step out of my house to get it exchanged.
I have been thinking about getting Nokia E71 but hesistated because of the size of the keyboard. I got fat fingers which can easily press 2 buttons instead of 1! ><
The husband keep stopping me from getting E71 and ordered the iPhone online for me instead! Woo!
Note: Hk is the only country (from what I heard?) that sells iPhone 3g on their online store without having to attach to any mobile plan. One of the very few reason why I like HK now. Hee.
Totally love my phone! With that irresistible pink case... I am waiting for the moshi ipouch to reach my mail box! I am quite anal about minor scratches so I need case + pouch to feel safe. :/ Installed quite a number of games and transferred musics from the shuffle into the iPhone. Also loaded 3 kuma videos!
Weather in HK gets colder this week. But I forsee the temperature will go up next week. Quite crazy because it's supposed to be winter this period but we can never trust the forecast again. The world have obviously changed... especially the climax.
The husband's company organise a trip tomorrow to Shenzhen for golf and meals and wives are invited too. Finally a short outside HK after 6 months. Yay! Can wear the couple jacket the husband bought for us yesterday!
Thanks for the feedbacks on my hair! I no guts cut shorter la... given that my face is big and round so to play safe I better keep it at shoulder length. :P But I snip off at least 10 cm lor... I still do miss my long hair. :/
Thanks Edwin and Cailin for recording our wedding song! :) You guys are real darlings! Mahjong soon! :P

Haircut!

After keeping my long hair for sucha long period of time, I thought it's a good chance for me to cut if short, since my wedding is over and there is no need for me to worry about keeping it long for hair styling.
The husband have been visiting Hair-do @ Soundwill Plaza (CWC) for the past 6 months, I thought maybe i should try too. All their stylist are Japanese so I guess they should be very good la.
Didn't want to get the same hairstylist as the husband to save time, so I ask for any available ones. And I was appointed to Yoshiko. Service was superb (especially hair wash. haha), staff are friendly, price is reasonable ($50+sgd! for 1st visit i guess) and come on, Japan hairstylist lor! :P
Our 2 weeks in Singapore.

12:56 PM
I am actually very very lazy to blog. Haha... the weather in HK now is really cooling... (cold to be exact) and I just wanna sit by the window all day, without doing anything... Sigh.
Anyway here are some photos of our 2 weeks in SG. Including some pictures from Daddy Damian on our wedding. Gonna be very wordy but I am really having a brain "freeze" right now.
[22.10.08]: Took the morning flight from Hong Kong. Reach Singapore in the afternoon and had dinner together with in laws and my parents.
[23.10.08]: Our Guo Da Li. The husband came over to our place with his 3rd Grandaunt with gifts and we return some back to them. (The customary is really tedious).
Only managed to get the pictures from the husband's side. I left all my backups in my SG's pc! Gah!
[24.10.08]: Dinner with Ling mei @ Fish & Co. Ah Siak joined us for a while and left us alone at Giraffe. Heavy rain but company was great. :)
[25.10.08]: Hens night with my babes! Ailing, Huijun, Peili and Kaijing!
No pictures because they are all in SG. Don't kill me girls. :/
In the morning, I met up with Kaijing at Toa Payoh to buy ingredients for our baking session. We decided to make Shepherds Pie and bought quite a bit of stuff. Took a cab back to KJ's place and meet up with Ailing mei nearby for prata as breakfast. Yums!
We start preparing, cooking and baking the pie and it took us about an hour or so to complete everything. The pie turn out really really good and my tummy just growl just at the thought of it!
After baking, we clean up, pack up and pop over to Swissotel Merchant Court Hotel for our 1 night stay. Checked-in, wait for the other 2 babes, went out for dinner, KTV and process back to our room to start the crazy night. Haha...
We are not supposed to call each others' name. I am the Hen while Ling mei is Chicken Backside, Huijun is Chicken Thight, Peili is Chicken Wing while KJ is Chicken Breast. Thank god I wasn't the loser. :P Will post the video soon of the forfeit of the person to failed to call the nickname accordingly. :P Kj is so gonna kill me!
It's a PJ party and so everyone gotta wear PJ for the night! Mahjong, Taboo, Poker, camwhored, drinks! It was quite insane. Hahaa... Damn I can't wait to post the pictures la! I really really enjoyed myself and I hope it's the same for you girls too! Thanks for being with me throughout all these years! You girls are really my gems. :)
[29.10.08]: Met up with my other 3 pretty jiemei, Evonne, April and Wendy for lunch! Now, where is the pic we took together, lingadingaling! Love the food at TCC! :D~~~
Collected my gowns at the BS too. So heavy to lug everything back! We had last minute shopping for our shoes and accessories too.
[31.10.08]: Went to Far East Flora at Thomson Road to buy flowers for air accessories. Didn't know we have to walk into the freezer and pick our flowers. The place is soooooo blardy cold and I was in shorts!
Meet up with Edwin in the evening to practise our surprise performance. Tried very hard to keep it from the Husband. Thanks Edwin for making your way down to my place! :)
Did my Mani and pedi with my Sister near my place. Last minute packing of bags to bring to Oriental next day.
上头 by my parents as the clock struck 1130pm.
[01.11.08]: hohoho! Our big day! Woke up at 430am and MUA coming in at 530am. Look like shit after all the hectic and stressful days before wedding. I am in my worse form on my wedding day. Ugh. Thank god for make ups.
Yow Siang, our Videographer and Wansheng, our Photographer came in shortly. Daddy Damian covered the Husband side at the same time.
It was raining HEAVILY! Bad bad bad weather. Sigh. Rain is the last thing I want to see on that day.
The groom was late... because *cough*heforgottenthehandbouquet*cough*. The jiemeis left with limited time to "tekkan" the groom but thank god the brothers are really sporty too! Bet they had a great time! I can only hear from outside my room and I am not supposed to see anything. ><
Sorry boys... its me who have chosen the panties instead of briefs. :P thou they can't fit but you guys look great in them.
Poor Edwin got arrowed to do the banana peeling. How can! Hahaa...
We were kinda behind time so it's was very rush for us. After leaving my place, we popby my grandma place to pay respect to my grandpa then we went over to the Husband's place.
We popby the Husband's grandma's place too to pay respect to his grandpa.
After tea ceremony, I changed into my KUA and back to 娘家 we go.
My side family's tea ceremony take longer than my husband's side. Kneel until kneecap hurt. Haha... But it's okie... once in a lifetime ma.
Love what my mum and sis got for me! No picture of the necklace from my mum.. (its inside the safe now) but heres what my sista got for us!
I don't think I will ever buy Tag huer for myself. I am not into branded watch la at the 1st place except that my parents bought me my 1st on my 21st birthday which I only wear during special occassion, this is my 2nd! Thank you so much Jie! I will make sure I will wear it enough times to justify the price. Hahaa...
Before anything else......
HAHAHAAH!
Had lunch after that and we rush back to the Husband's place to pick up our baggage and check into Oriental Hotel.
That's when I really felt nervous... and feeling nauseous allll the time!
I was practically shaking the whole time and I can feel as thou my heart is at my throat liao. >< Don't know why I felt this way... I just couldn't help it. Think most of you couldn't stop hearing me saying I wanna puke. Haha.
Our flowergirl, MiniV (San-d's daughter) and flowerboy, my cousin's son are just too cute! They look so cute together and brought alot of joy to the wedding. Thanks for helping out!
Before the 1st march in, I was so nervous that I almost black out! But once I step into the ballroom, the feeling is gone! SO odd lor. Maybe I don't know what I should expect from the crowd but after seeing all familiar faces, the anxiety in me just disappear. Hee.
Only managed to eat 2 dishes and off we went for 2nd change for 2nd march in. Somewhere somehow, the Husband managed to sneak away and prepared for his surprise for me. After I was done with my change and make up, Ailing Mei walk me back to the ballroom and I saw the Husband waiting for me outside. We waited outside the ballroom while the rest watches our daytime highlight. Our coordinator said to me that I can also watch and with Ailing mei's help, I was lead to the front door and watch the clip outside the ballroom.
After it ends, I turn around and couldn't find the Husband. Dang. Before I can react, the door swings open and I was told to walk in by myself. And there he was, my husband, on the stage started singing edited version of 非你莫属 while I walk towards the stage alone. Very thoughtful and sweet of him... with the help of Edwin! :) My husband's vocal buey pai one ah!
We had our champagne pouring and invited our family up the stage for toasting. The yam-seng session can be rather ear deafening. :P
Thank you speech time! We tried to keep it short and sweet. Thanks to my husband, now everyone know my dark secret. :P Only those who attend knows ah... shhhh.......
Finally, my turn to give surprise! After my thank you speech, my speech to the husband, I decided to sing a self composed song with Edwin to prove my love for husband. Romantic or not? :P Sorry that I sang badly. Stage fright la. XP
The most challenging part are the table to table shot and parting handshake. I couldn't stop smiling till my face got cramped! But we are really grateful to all guests who attended our dinner. It really meant alot to us!
Finally the wedding came to an end. It's a huge relieve for us. After months and months of waiting, preparation, excitement, it's over in just a day.
We would like to say thank you once again to...
The Jiemeis and Xiong Dis: Ailing, Huijun, Peili, Evonne, April, Wendy, Edwin, Gayyong, Jianrong, Clarence & Leslie for being such great help on our wedding day! You peeps are really sporty & handsome lots!
Receptionist Ailing, Peili, Dylan and Chungsiak for keeping the crowd in order and watching over my lovely angbao boxes. :P Also the content la. Hahaa...
Ailing mei for being my bridesmaid and keeping me company at the bridal suite. And also your bracelet to prevent me from looking plain... rubbing my hands to keep me warm. :) You're just like a younger sister I always wished for. Thank you so much!
Huijun and Edwin for agreeing to be our emcees. You guys are great la! We found the perfect people to host our dinner!
Thanks for being there for me for the past 20 years, my dearest Huijun!
Edwin, thanks for helping out so so so so so so so so so so so much at our wedding! It's insane that you practically oversee everything. No words can describe our gratitude towards you. You are our so call matchmaker, our best buddy, our emcee, dennis's brother, help our in both our surprise, our emcee, our 开心果。 You're the best! :)
Thanks Damian, Wansheng and Yowsiang for covering our event! You guys will keep all this wonderful memories for us forever. :)
Thanks Dayvid and Samantha for the great band performance! Thanks for making my husband cry while performing a song I wrote for him years back. Haha...
Thank you for Mr Ong and Chunliang for sending gifts over even if both can't make it for my wedding!
A very very very big thank you to my parents and sister for all the help they provided me when I am not in Singapore. They help me get all stuff I need for my wedding and not a single word of complain from them! I can never imagine if they are not there to help. The wedding will never be successful. :) Thanks yousssss!
A big thank you to all friends, relatives and overseas guests who fly into Singapore just to attend our dinner. A wedding is never complete without all the blessing from you guys. Thank you thank you thank you! :*
A big thank you to my husband for loving me. :) Now and forever, I will be your wife. (bo beh zhao ah! *no horse run)
*Phew. Did I miss out anything?! I hope not! You guys know how grateful I am la. Pardon me for not being good at words. I am also very glad to meet up with friends whom I haven't been seeing for the longest time, for example my childhood primary school buddies! I also see alot of new form friendship ah... which is good! :)
******
The wedding ended quite late... so by the time we got back to the hotel, the hubby is already halfdrunk and halfasleep. By the time I finish removing my make up and shower, the husband fell asleep at the sofa and I get him onto the bed and let him continue his beauty sleep while I stay awake to clean up the messy room... so sad that I didn't manage to eat the dinner at all even when Oriental was nice to deliver them to our suite and heat them up. Sigh!
[02.11.08]: Wake up pretty late and had inroom breakfast instead.
Breakfast was great and the thoughtful husband request no onion in the omelette. Thank you! Muah!
After breakfast we make our way to the BS and return the gowns. So heavy leh! :(
Had Kenny Roger for lunch and we shopped around abit for t-shirts and sandals for the husband. Went back to Oriental and prepare ourselves for the complimentary Spa Massage by Oriental Spa.
It's heaven can?! 3 hours of bliss. I even fell asleep at one point. zzz...
The tub with rose petals was too hot thou. I couldn't keep still because my heart was racing due to the heat. No matter how much cold water I add into the tub it's still the same! I suspect they got heater inside lor! :( After I step out of the tub, my legs cramped. Gah.
At the end of the massage, both of us are so ready to sleep liao. But we can't with empty tummy so we order room service, fish and chips. SO NICE!!! I am so craving for fish and chips now! :(
[03.11.08]: Inroom breakfast again and afterwhich is time for checkout... and also making the decision of not going for our honeymoon at Bali. Our parents find it too dangerous to go Bali during this period so after much struggling, we gave in. :( There goes our 1k. I heart pain the money. I could have bought an iPhone with that la!
After checking out, we went back to my place and I rush out to get my hair done.
Evening is Russel Peters' Performance with Wansheng and Wendy! Great show and I am sure my company enjoyed themselves! :)
Met up with lingadingaling and cobin for durains at 717. And we forgotten to pay... that's the last thing I thought we will do! ><
[05.11.08]: Wansheng jio-ed us to go cable-ski at ECP. The boys ski-ed la... not me. Hahaa... I just sit there and watch! Had Katong laksa for dinner! Yums.
[06.11.08]: Nua-ed at home until afternoon and we popby town for a little shopping and had drinks in the evening with Ling mei and the husband's buddies, Edwin, Jianrong + gf and Clarence. Great company great food!
[07.117.08]: The boys when wakeboarding at Punggol while I just enjoy the boat ride... weather is cranky. Rainy and sunny. Seems like the husband got hooked now! All thanks to Wansheng! :P
Had dinner with my parents and sister at Boon Tong Kee!
Edwin and Cailing drop by our place and played mahjong. Did I mention I just "graduated" from mahjong course? Haha... finally I managed to learn it and got hooked! Thanks for the company Edwin and Cailing! Can't wait to get back and play with you guys again!
Thanks for keeping us company, peeps! Thou we didn't get to go for our honeymoon but staying back in Singapore can be a good thing too!
[08.117.08]: Gayyong and Junie's prewed shoot by the Husband! We went to Wessex Estate's Colbar, Seletar Camp and Punggol Lalang field. Hope you guys enjoyed yourself! I have seen some of the photos... very nice leh!
Had dinner at Katong's Togi. I love the bibimbap!
Slept late because we have to pack our stuff in the room into boxes and pack our luggages tat we need to bring back to HK. ><
[09.117.08]: Sista pick us up from our place together with our baggage. Had dim sum @ Royal China with the rest of the family members to celebrate my Dad's birthday which is in Dec... super early but because I won't be around so decided to eat 1st. :)
After dim sum, off to airport... bid goodbye to my parents and sista... and I bought a small longchamp bag inside. :P
Touch down HK around 7pm and reach home about 9pm. Got a shock by the cold weather in HK. So glad to see all my guppies looking fine and well fed!
Clean up the house and unpack our stuff. Throw everything into washing machine. Sit down watch tv. Lights out.
Longest entry ever huh? I haven't check what I type la. Bet alot of typo. I am so brain dead. >< Byeeee!!
Back in Hong Kong!

A totally unforgettable day!
I won't go into details yet because we should be enjoying our mini honeymoon now. :P

Thanks for the concern everyone...
I guess you guys are right... it's our wedding and I ought to be happy.
Thou every now and then those words are still spining in my mind, I just have to stop myself from tearing once again and distract myself.
The husband tried very hard to make me happy... and therefore he pre-order the Kuma for me!
So happy can! Finally something to look forward to after our honeymoon. Hee!
Yesterday I went to collect my HK ID card... after much procrastination. Now I can use the special clearance at the HKIA and also at the Changi airport. Woot! No more long queue!
Last weekend we had our last minute shopping and packing of bags before we fly back to SG. Damn blardy heavy leh the luggage. So many things to bring back. Sigh.
Ok. Guess the next time I update, we will be back to SG. See you guys then! :)
Count down to our wedding: 19 days!

Wah lau... this really set my heart racing. Just started packing my bags with stuffs that we are supposed to bring back. Everyday dump abit of things inside just in case we miss out anything. Gotta bring back the entire stack of left over invites as my in laws have to give out the rest by hands. Sigh.
To deal with stress, retail theraphy just have to continue. :P I just track my items and 2 out of 3 package of my spree items are in Singapore. Guess they should be able to reach me when I am back in Singapore!
Finally gotten my panda trucker cap!
Been searching for it everywhere. The shop in HK ran out of size and YesStyle.com took a long time to restock. Anyway the wait is worth while. I love it to bits! Can bring it to our honeymoon liao!
Was shopping with the husband at Fa Yuen St. and chance upon this pair of pumps. Too cute to resist la!
It should be rat right? Not rabbit hor?
Finally managed to get the automatic feeder for the guppies. Although i read that they can go food-less for 2 weeks but that bear the thought of not feeding them la. What if they start snipping each other's tails?!
Quite funny at how they recognise feeding time. When they see me near the tank, they will start to go crazy jumping up and down. I suspect if I leave the cover open, they will sure jump out of the tank lor.
The husband have to go for his haircut this weekend before the wedding. Damn vain boy la. Spend more time infront of the mirror than me. Can't wait to snip off my hair after our big day. I get so sick and tired of long hair especially when i am suffering from bad hair fall. I think i will go botak in no time. Damn scary leh.
I JUST HAVE TO TALK ABOUT THIS.
It's a known fact that I have zero tolerance to plagiarism. Yet again and again its happening around me.
It's amusing when people copy my blog entries. Not like it's well written la. Plus so many gammer mistakes! Want to copy also check the grammer la... it's so boring lor. Talking about my daily life. My husband is not your husband. My name is Anne and yours is not.
BUT it's not funny when you copy someone's copyrighted work. Especially lyrics. I once caught someone copying my lyrics without citing me as the original author. But this person realise her mistakes and mend her ways. I appreciate that.
But then I met this another girl, who I really hate describing as shameless, just couldn't stop doing it, copying, plagiarizing, stealing someone elses work.
I 1st found her copying my entries, my love "poem" which I painstakingly wrote for my husband years back (original ones okie?! i didn't google and copy and paste leh). Then I confronted her, ON MY BLOG. After which she deleted it.
Then when the husband proposed to me, she will tell me that her bf proposed too and getting married. Of course I will give her my blessing. (But everyone knows her dark secret.....)
Then whenever I said I wanted to get something, she also say she want to buy, or already bought it.
THEN now I am a lyricist, she also wants to be one!
Are you a major fan of mine?
If YOU really wants to be a lyricist, go ahead. I won't stop you. But if you openly declare that you are one, and posting all your work in your blog and forums, you have to be really careful.
All your so-called works are not yours. Not a single one for godsake. You got them from all different Taiwan aspiring songwriters forums and sites, thinking that no one will find out. Claiming that those are your works? WRONG MOVE.
Every single piece of work have copyright belongs to the original writers or their publishing house. For example like mine which belongs to Warner and COMPASS helps to keep track of copyright needs.
If you dare to copy and claim those are yours, you gonna prepare to get sued big time if they decided to go after you.
Songwriters circle is rather small. Most of them know each other so such news travels faster than fire. What you're doing now is just trying to get yourself burnt. Thou I heard the original sources are looking into this matter, I am not sure if legal actions will be taken. So I hope this is a good lesson to everyone.
Everyone work very hard to achive what they have today. Including songwriters. Who likes to have their work copied and claim credits by others? It took me years to get to where I am now. Don't you dare to think that CTRL C + CTRL V can get you anywhere.
Do whatever you like, but don't get caught. Then again, the internet? Nothing is a secret.......... google is your best friend. But it will hurt you too... heh heh heh.
23 days...

to our wedding. Quite insane right? Less than a month lor!
Anyway the wedding site is finally up and running after much procrastination. Sometimes I really felt so lazy that I can feel juices oozing out from my skin. Grr.
Last Tuesday was Chung Yeung Festival, which is HK's public holiday. But sometimes I really hate PH because the crowd here can get totally out of control. Then again, a full day with the husband can never get better.
We had a tourist day on Tuesday. Went shopping at IFC mall (husband bought magazines only), took a ferry (1.70HKD ONLY!) from Central to TST and continue to shop. SOGO having 1 day sales and Longchamp long handle le pliage going for 50% off (109SGD!). Bought a red one. How to resist such sales man. Should have bought one more for Sister. But I think I can pass mine to her la. I don't have so many hands to use so many bags also. Haha.
Wanted to get a new wallet because mine finally gave way. But I am very particular about the design so it always take a long time for me to decide. I love the lv damier koala wallet thou but I doubt I will ever bear to part that huge some of money just for a wallet. Aiyo I can buy a new gadget with that sum of money! Maybe can try the Katespade outlet at Tung Chung this weekend. I am sure I can find very good deals!
After walking round and round in TST, we finally found Tin Cheung, the famous camera shop in HK, and pop in to look for 5Dmki. The price is pretty good but it's a grey set... Hope I have that kind of money to get one for Husband's birthday. The poor boy have been so in love with 5D for a long time. Hope his dream will come true soon!
Oh, Tin Cheung have an amazing collection of 2nd hand cameras lor. They even have Contax 640 but selling at the rocket high price of 3k SGD! I think can get one at a lower price from ebay. Plus the outlook condition is quite unbearable. So no point.
Did I mention before I love the Giordano in HK? Their collect looks really classy and nice! Unlike Singapore ones which look really casual. I think I have spent most in Giordano here. Haha... but imagine I can get 6 pieces of outfit with just SGD100 lor. So wu hua!
Last weekend we add another 6 guppies and 1 dwarf sucker catfish to our mini aquarium. Now we have yellow, red and blue guppies. But one blue died few days back and our one and only catfish passed away yesterday. Sigh.
I think it's because my tank is too clean and no algae for it to feed on... should have bought spinach earlier on to feed it. :( It has been a really good tank mate...
Love is...

when we share a cup of cup noodles at 1.11am with endless laughters, despite both of us were on the verge of falling asleep... with empty stomachs.
Thanks for telling me how much you appreciate and felt bliss about having me as your wife...
*As we are not residenting in Singapore now, we will try to work our schedule to accomodate you! Alternatively, you guys can pop by Hong Kong and do an oversea shoot! :)
Weekends are over...
Monday, September 29, 2008
9:35 AM
Once again, I am suck into the "beauty" of online shopping. This time round, also the benefit of free shipping within US. How can I not love Vpost?
YesStyle(they take FOREVER to ship my items!), Forever21, Victoria's Secret, Wetseal... I think i am going crazy.
The other day, the Hubby ordered VS's stuff for me. One bride tanktop, one bride cute undies and a set of bikini. Guess what? The bottom of the bikini I chose M instead because that's the size of bikini bottom I always got from Singapore. But when the items came 2 days ago, I got a shock of my life. It's... HUGE. Can fit a L... or perhaps a XL lor. UGH.
Anyone willing to take over? Item here. I am willing to let go at the original price minus the shipping cost and throw in a free postage. :) Bottom only hor!
Not sure how long the items will reach me via Vpost la but hopefully it will be there when I am back to Singapore for wedding preparation. ^^
Weekend flew by again! Can't believe how fast it went by. I procrastinate again and delayed my ID card application. The immigration closes at 1230pm on Sat but I really want to stay longer in bed leh. And I feel bad if I were to drag the hubby off the bed with me also. Sigh. I will try to do it by next week!
For consecutive 2 days we had dim-sum for 2 days, skipping breakfast and lunch. :P Normally our meals range about SGD10-20 per meal for 2 pax ma so eating the dim-sum which cost us about SGD40 is more worth it this way. Hee
My hubby looks like stuffed hamster. I can see that he is enjoying this hongkonger lifestyle... eating dim-sum and reading magazine at the same time. I love the XO chili Carrotcake!
Saturday after dim-sum, we made our way down to Mongkok and look for the walking kuma toy which my sister told me about. So excited when I found it!
Such a darling right? Took a video of it walking too. Hee.
I LOVE KUMA!!!! MUAK!
After buying kuma, we went to Sim City (hk version of sim lim square) and look for my film scanner. No sight of it! Infact I didn't get to see ANY flat bed scanner. I wonder could it be the whole HK only sells multi-function printer. Sigh. Maybe I should get it in Singapore instead.
From Mongkok to Prince, we decided to get new fishies for our tank. Found this shop managed by 2 ladies, they really maintain their tanks very well. Fishes looks healthy, water looks clean. Although the price is a little higher...(compared to those selling 20HKD for 4 fishes in a sealed packet) we bought red and blue guppies. 70HKD for 10 of them. Wanted to get the black with white dots fish but we don't know what breed they are and unsure if they are hardy enough for beginners like us...
Bought a small plant for the tank too. Still contemplating about getting a catfish to suck up the waste of the guppies... maybe we will get it tomorrow!
Caught Eagle Eye yesterday. Great show and I love Michelle Monaghan! I think she is "hawt".
Happy Birthday to you, Evonne aka ling aka lingahger! :)
The thing about housework...

9:57 AM
is that you may find surprises while vacumming.
I found my pair of bear earrings which mysteriously disappeared after wearing them for the 1st time. HAHAHA.
Anyway, we survived the typhoon. Instead of masking tape(which we don't have! must buy later!), we used scotch tape. Took me sometime to remove them cleanly from the glass window this morning. UGH.

I swear the window glass panels are shaking because the wind is SOOOOOOOO SOOOOO CRAZILY STRONG!!!! AND OUR HOUSE HAVE NOOOOOO MASSSSKINGGGG TAPEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
The night I woke up from a nightmare...
The fear is so real...
The pain is so real... just like what I felt 6 years back but this time round, in my dream. The kind of pain, like a knife pierce through my heart. So deep... so intense.
The heartless back view... the hurtful words... kept ringing in my mind. That's when I felt so helpless... so pain...
And in my dream... I saw my mum hugging me... telling me the exact words she told me 6 years back. I can never love again, I told her. There she was... hugging me so tight and stroking my hair... telling me it's okie... I still have my family.
This whole thing is like... an re-enactment of a very bad breakup I suffered 6 years back with an ex-bf of 3 years. But this time round the male lead in my nightmare is my husband.
It's a blessing to wake up every morning to see the love of your life right beside you. As much as my tears flooded my pillow this morning... the kisses from my husband gave me assurance all over again...
Maybe I am suffering from premarital anxiety. I need retail therapy.
You won't believe it...

Cyclone (Typhoon) is coming, AGAIN. Like the 4th (or 5th??) one since we move over to HK in May.
Are we SUAY or what? You can't deny it, Hubby. We are indeed the children of Typhoon. HAHA.
Finally!

Food Tasting

The trip back to Singapore come and go like a breeze. It's a mad rush from the day we board our flight. And now, I am drowing in my own nasal mucus and semi-bed ridden. Sigh.
Had our food tasting at the Oriental on the 13th of Sept and it's totally luxury lor. I had ZERO complain on the dishes but changed 2 due to some repetition of ingredient. One of the rare moments to hear my dad saying "very nice" when it comes to food. Seems like my parents and sister like it very much.
We invited Dennis's aunties, uncles and grandma for the occasion too as his parents are still stuck in Beijing.
We have chosen dream theme. Love the color X 100000000!
With Oriental, I have nothing to worry about our wedding dinner. Sandy, our coordinator plan everything out well and all I need to do is to be present at the dinner itself. But things outside Oriental makes me pretty stressed out. Ugh. I have to take it easy for now!
Collected our invitation cards as well. Printed very nicely and love the black cards from Oriental.
Our flight back to HK with UA was cancelled the day before and thank god the husband checked the itinerary online and quickly called the US office and got a replacement flight on the same day with CX. An upgrade definitely but I love UA's service. They have really sweet and thoughtful air stewardess. Because it's nearing mid-autumn festival that day and lots of passengers bought mooncakes. The stewardess was kind enough to offer dry ice to put inside the mooncake. SO nice leh! I hope all other airlines actually provide such thoughtful gestures!
Ok, will update more when I recover.
Omg. Keanu Reeves so hensum can? Watching the Lake House now.
Dreaming over...

At the end of the day...

my family have the best arms to be in.
My mum is the best mum in this world. Unreplacable.
I hate myself at times for throwing temper at her... but it's because I know she is the only person who can accept me for who I am and don't take it to heart. She know I get pissed only when I have a vaild reason. I have finally grown up... to admit my mistakes and apologise to her whenever I throw my temper.
She spoilt me rotten... but I didn't take advantage of it. It warm my heart whenever she have me in her thoughts. It's good enough... given that we are so far apart now.
My dad is even cuter. I always thought we don't have an as close relationship as compared to my Mum but that day he called me via MSN and webcam with me to spot check whether I had taken dinner already. (because husband is away for work). And every now and then he will ask whether I have enough money to use or not... (And he also quite haolian about getting the new Iphone. -_-)
Sometimes it feels helpless to be away from home... but my only comfort is that I can rely on my sister to look after my parents...
I can't wait... to be home once again and be in the arms of my loving family...
P.S: Respects can only be gained if you respect others in return. Don't expect a one way train. It's... kinda disgusting.
Farking pissed.

I am not someone with great patience. Everyone knows that.
And this able-bodied tall, wearing long-sleeve shirt guy tries to challenge my farking patience. WTF.
Not sure if this happens everywhere in HK but it took me a bloody 30 minutes, 4th in queue, to had my order taken. And this blardy guy came out of no where, decided to jump into the queue, right infront of me, when 2 line merge into one. (Apparently this lady infront of me queued at the wrong line and we were asked to merge into another line.)
If you are rushing for reincarnation, jolly well tell me. I will be more than happy to give way to you, buy your KFC fast and let it be your last meal.
I can give way, if you're an elderly, or tell me your reason of needing to get your food fast. But I can't tolerate a man being so ungentleman, cutting a woman's queue! That smirk from his face makes me wanna slap him!!) And somemore there are people behind me lor.
I know no one behind me complains maybe it's so common to be rude in HK. You must be wondering why I am bitching here instead of telling that guy off. I don't want to get myself blacklisted as I can foresee myself eating KFC very frequent. Afterall this is my blog what. Can't complain meh?
If you think Singaporeans are rude, you have yet to come to HK.
Home Alone.

Wah long time no blog!
Peili was in Hong Kong and back to Singapore already. How fast the 1 week flew past... plus the Husband just left for Zhuhai and here I am all alone at home... :/
The past one week was the most fulfiling week I had ever since I move over to Hk. Peili and I almost combed the entire shopping areas in HK and walked the most distance I had in my entire life. Ah Li shopping style I like. Haha.. she never need to try on the clothing she is buying. Very fast and 干脆。 We waste no time in a single shop and I lose count of how many malls we entered.
I myself bought quite abit of stuff. Before Ah li came, I told myself I have to resist and wait for her to visit HK and we shop together. Hahaa... hard work pays off man!
On the 2nd last day of her visit, we took the peak tram and visited madame tussauds. The tram is damn scary lor. Thou its my 2nd time taking it, it still scares me.
We took helluv pictures there so I shall just post half of them.
Totally feels like a tourist can?!
Oh yah, I bumped into Melanie's friend, Yodolyn there. So qiao leh! Heee! Nice meeting you girl!
I hope you've enjoyed yourself in HK and at our place, Ah li! Thou the birthday cake is a little small... but I hope you like it, and the present from all of us! :) Come back to HK soon and we will go crazy shopping again!
After looking around... I have finally bought a new girl!
Meet Dwella!
Why Dwella? (YES, my 1st non-J Girl!) Because it means, Damian, Wendy, Evonne, Lynette, Linus & April! This new girl belongs to them too because they got it for me for my birthday and wedding! (Ok, Dennis is complaining because a doll won't benefit him. :P)
She had her hair spa, eyelash changed and new outfit. Have yet to buy new chips for her so only grey for her now. Isn't she pretty!?
The other day while we were at Goldfish market, we decided to get a fishie for keeping. Initially the Husband was going for Fighting Fish but against it after thinking it may give the house 杀气 so we bought Dwarf Pufferfish after seeing how cute they are. Plus they are fresh water fish and easier to maintain. We brought 4 but one died from internal parasite (sunken belly! :() which it caught before we bought it...
A few days later, Ah Li accompanied me back to Goldfish market and I bought a not too big all-in-one white fish tank for the darlings. I have to cycle the tank for a day and I see that they can't wait!
The next day, once again, I went back to Goldfish market, this time round with the Husband, to get more Puffer and now we have 7 in our tank!
Dwarf puffers are a bunch of selfish fishes. They can't tolerate other spieces living with them so we can't get other type of fishes. But it's okie, they are cute enough alone. :P
I have been wearing the same Guess watch which the Husband bought for me in year 2005 for V-day. I had it's strap changed once, battery twice and now, it's almost dead. It move and stop so often that I finally decided to get a new watch to replace it...
Came across this CheCheNewYork watch the 1st time I walk past Citychain near our apartment. It seems like the only Citychain branch that brings in this watch because I couldn't find it anywhere else.
Today while sending the Husband to the MTR station, I have decided to get it. Implusive but love it nevertheless. It comes with a cutie panda pouch too. So broke but I guess it's an necessity I need to get.
Alright! Feeding time, for the fishies and my tummy!
What's the best gift that your parents gave you?
Saturday, August 30, 2008
10:38 PM
Bringing you to this world? Giving your a warm shelter over the head? Giving you a good eduation? Buying what you like?
For me, the best gift my parents gave me is a sibling... an elder sister I looked up to, someone who protect and took care of me, gave me the best thing in life. (*teary eyes*)
No matter how bad my day was, it's always nice to have someone at home to rant at (including relationship woes). My sister is not only a sibling to me. She is also like my best friend, my soul mate, my office-and-shopping partner in crime and my care-taker. She hate what I hate and we have similar taste too. Thou at times we quarrel too... so much so that we feel like pulling each others' hair. But we always end up speaking to each other the next day.
My sister is a very generous person. She won't hesistate to treat me good food, buy me expensive gifts that I like and also pay for my expenses during travelling. That's the reason why I don't feel the pinch when it comes to buying gifts for her too. What I can afford to buy for her can never be enough to repay all the kindness she showered me. So I know I have to be protective towards her too. That's because due to her kind heart, she always got bullied. People who took advantage of her are simply just people from hell. They are people who can't cherish what's good in their life.
I love my Sister. She is the best thing in my life, beside my parents, my husband and my best friends. Thou at times irritating people tries to bring me down, they will fail to do so because I am always happier than them. Happiness kills enemies.
I miss those day when I am back in Singapore, still working for my Dad. Our desk are just behind each other so we always gossip during work. I never fail to irritate her and get help from her. Life can be rather lonely in Hong Kong now. But she is always online to keep me company.
I miss the girly talks when we still share the same room under one roof. I miss falling sleep halfway talking to her. Wish I can go back to Singapore now. Sigh.
ANYWAY... my sister is here with her friend staying in a hotel in Jordan. (not convenient since our guest room is too small for them to share the bed)... and I tried to keep them company as much as possible.
They pop by my place yesterday and had dimsum at Maritime Square. Very nice leh. Even thou I have stayed here for like 3 months liao but I have yet to try the dimsum. (I queued for a bloody 1 hr+ lor)
After lunch, we shopped around the mall before proceeding to Lantau Island.
She gave me a surprise this morning when I went to their hotel to meet them...
LeSportSac and Bfree collaboration bag. So cute can?! I have actually seen this bag a couple of times when I went shopping so I brought my Sister to take a peek (I love she loves this kind of designer series bag) and she bought a smaller version for herself. I love it but hesistate about getting because I broke my budget this month. But she actually bought it for me after I went back from meeting them. How can I not love her?! She know me so well leh. HEHEEHEH! Thanks jie! I love the bag SO MUCH!
Kuma-lover, don't be jealous! :P See what I have got here!!
BEDSHEET!! SO CUTE! I have actually got one set already when I 1st came to HK but I saw this design yesterday when I bring my Sister to buy for her own bed. Can't resist and bought too!
SOOOOOOOOOOO CUTE LA!! I was at Golden Plaza today to look for wedding stuff and I saw this shop selling couple softoy wearing wedding outfit! Can't decide which one to get so my Sister bought me one and I got myself one too. L O V E I T!!!!
My sister is leaving HK tomorrow... I feel bad that I couldn't join her any further today because I was under the weather. Fever and sorethroat. HK is SORCHING, INSANELY HOT beyond words. Hope she will be back to HK soon so that I can play a better host and bring her to more places! Seeya in Sept!
I better go sleep. Gotta wake up early tomorrow and fetch Peili from the airport. Hee. Good night!
My friends are full of...*beep*.
