There are so many things I want to do after the photoshoot and the actual day! >: ( (Can you hear the calling of vanity..?) Oh yeah, I will be doing my wedding photoshoot this coming Monday. I have confirmed the 5 gowns for the photoshoot, bought a pair of shimmery-silver heels (I had a choice of silver and white. I chose the former), went for a good seaweed wrap to extract toxins out of that fatty body and started to put on facial masks of Bodyshop's Teatree Oil Mask and my own DIY honey spread : D I must make sure nothing goes wrong on that sickening day! I must be a pretty bride on that bloody day! >: ( It will be a damn bloody whole day event that starts from 10:30am (Imagine how early I will have to wake up~!) to 6:30pm. I guess my hair and face would have withered and died from all the back-combing, hairspray and lousy cosmetics : / You must be thinking if I am shuddering (to the extent of hyperventilation) at the mere thought of it eh? Fret not! I have already made appointments with Aunt Helen and Yvonne from Benz Hair Salon (My new hairdresser!) on the following Tuesday and Wednesday respectively : )
I had wanted to straighten my hair after the photoshoot, but on second thought, it may be a better idea to do it after my actual day (I do not want my straightened locks to be marred by my makeup artist and at the same time, I do not want to restrict the latter's creativity) Well, I just hope that my new hairdryer can stop those ugly kinks till I go for hair rebonding : ( (So far so good, to date)
Fat Boy always thinks that I should have better things to worry than petty stuff like my face and hair. But hey, pot calling kettle black - he's trying hard to shed those excess pounds, especially those clamping tightly around his waist and to ensure his hair looks thicker on that day by taking Propecia : P He's not happy that he has only 2 suits for the photoshoot whereas I have 5 : P We went hysterical when we found zits appearing out from nowhere and hey, did I tell you that my face nearly went bonkers after using the Shu Umuera cleansing oil? I think it was too strong for my face hence tiny angry-looking boils laced along my face : ( (I stopped using it ever since and my condition has improved)
Gee, I intend to go jogging and put on my DIY honey mask after the 9pm show. Hahaha...I am a vain person and I am not embarrassed to announce to the whole world! : D

A Simple Life
I guess life's much happier and simpler after leaving the dungeons of BGC : ) I have enough rest and there is no worry about not hitting any sales target and facing the evil boss and his lackeys! Yes! So what if it's Monday tomorrow? It's no longer blue for me!
Last Wednesday evening, I met Rightie, Adeline and Amy at The Pasta Cafe in Takashimaya. Just as I was looking so forward to meeting them, I realized that I forgot to bring my mobile phone : ( Feeling exasperated, I frantically searched for a public phone and a 10 cent coin and called Adeline. She did not pick up and I had no choice, but to leave a voice message (Yeah, I was so damn praying hard that she would listen to it!) I walked into the cafe hoping that any one of them would have reached and called out to me (My hopes were dashed when I did not see any familiar face)
As the minutes ticked away and after many sips of water, I got increasingly restless and decided to use the cafe's phone. Managed to get hold of Adeline and well, she managed to get Rightie and the rest is history : ) I was just so happy to see them again albeit the so-so pasta and pizza! Wonder when is the next gathering? : D
As for Thursday afternoon, Fat Boy, Aunt Maddy and I went to Johor Bahru. After having my usual must-drink white coffee, we headed to Printemps, where I tried the gowns for our photoshoot. Initially, I thought I would take the whole day to choose and try on the gowns, but to my surprise, I took only 2 hours! : ) Sweet, which means to say we had more time for other activities: After dinner of zi char, we went to Jusco Tebrau for grocery shopping. By the time we reached home, it was about 1am. Aunt Maddy was anxious to go to bed as she had work the next day : /
I spent the whole of Friday surfing Facebook : P Fat Boy came home from work and we went to have claypot rice for dinner at Chinatown before meeting up with Sunshine Boy, Chloe and Claudia at Molly Malone's : ) It was good to see them again and well, as usual, hear their grievances (What's new?) Yam Gal and Isaac arrived after their spa session and we surprised the birthday girl with a Royal Chocolate cake from Polar : ) (She had another surprise from the house - a flaming Lamborghini)
Saturday afternoon was spent Had dinner of Teochew porridge at Redhill with Fat Boy and we went to Parkway Parade after that. I bought a watermelon, 2 cataloupes and an hairdryer (I guess I need a hairdyer to tame those kinks after all and the best thing was, it cost 11 bucks) Went to Loyang Tua Pekong to offer incense and met up with the SPI guys at Mr Bean for a short drink before we headed home : )
Went to East Coast Park for jogging this afternoon and boy, I could feel the fats on my arms melting away (I am trying to sound positive here) Both Fat Boy and I had fish soup and rice for dinner and though we shared half a watermelon just now, we are feeling hunger pangs at this very moment. Will we resist the urge to grab something to eat...? Stay tune.

Another Free Week
It's raining right now and wow, I simply love the sounds of raindrops pelting at every corner : D Had wanted to hide under my warm and toasty blanket, but thought that it might be good to drop a note before I do so : ) I am living life almost to how I want it to be right now - Doing the stuff that I want as and when and of course, waking up late : ) (By the way, I just realised I look so much radiant as compared to months back)
Last Wednesday morning, I jostled Fat Boy out of slumber as I wanted to go to the airport and send Wynne and her Korean boyfriend, Myung Sub, off (They had to go back to Japan to continue with their studies as their vacation was over) I was overwhelmed by sadness when I saw Wynne walk into the departure hall. I thought I would cry, but I did not (Guess my attempts to console myself that she would be back in July helped) We left the airport and went home for breakfast before Fat Boy went to work at 10am and I, back to bed (Did I tell you that I woke him up at 6am?)
Later in the afternoon, we, together with Aunt Maddy, went to JB after he finished his work. We went to Printemps to book dates for gown selection for our photoshoot as well as the photoshoot itself. After much bickering, we finally concluded the dates and went for dinner at HK Cafe after that. Aunt Maddy was so happy to have gone with us as she bought 2 pairs of sandals and 5 packets of putu mayam!
As for Thursday, I blew 50 bucks at Loreal Private Sale at Le Meridien and bought a bottle of Shu Uemura Cleansing Oil and 2 tubes of Lancome's Juicy Pop. Yam Gal bought the same stuff as well as bottles of perfume : ) We proceeded to the IT Fair in Suntec and was awed by the crowd (Hey, didn't these people need to work? It was only 4pm!) We burned a big hole in our pockets when we couldn't resist the attraction of the cute Lenovo S10 and a 19-inch ViewSonic monitor. It was a day of great damage, but seriously, the netbook seems to have everything except CD-ROM!
As for Friday, Fat Boy and I went to have an early dinner at Tan Quee Lan Street before walking around Bugis and Raffles City and settling down for a sweet mango dessert : ) We went home after that as I was feeling tired from all the walking and haggling from the previous day : /
I thought I could sleep through the day on Saturday, but that plan dissipitated when the Malay masseuss called me : / She told me that she was available only at that timing and asked me to prepare myself (Boo) For 45 bucks, it was a value-for-money session - Besides kneading my fatty bits, she untied the knots of my tight muscles and shared with me many beauty and health tips : D After the whole session, I could feel that the fatty bits are more firmed up and till now, certain points of my body aches. I might consider getting her again soon, before my photoshoot
: )
Had dinner with the SPI guys at Farmart before we went for recce at Baby Corpse Dumping Ground, Lim Chu Kang Junction and West Coast Park. It was a disappointment as we could not gather much findings and by the time both Fat Boy and I reached home, it was already 5am.

Free Week
Gee, I have no recollection what I have done last week. I seem to lose track of time (Perhaps I have too much time on my plate : P ) Last Tuesday afternoon, I went to Aunt Helen's to do housekeeping on my face (Yeah, after all the heavy makeup on my ROM day) and met up with Wynne after that. We went to Han's at Park Mall to have dinner as she was craving for Chinese cuisine. Fat Boy joined us after work and we had a great time catching up : ) We proceeded to TCC for post-dinner coffee while Fat Boy went to Carrefour to look at stuff for his car ; ) Well, girls' talk is definitely more interesting when guys are not around eh? ; P
Wynne met me at home the following day as she wanted to pay a visit to Gramps as well : ) Both of us proceeded to Benz Hair Salon at Change Alley to fix our hairdo (She went for an 80 buck treatment and snip whereas I went for a 26 buck trim) We strolled out of the salon feeling satisfied : ) As it was too early for her appointment with her best friend, I suggested we have coffee at Starbucks in One Fullerton : ) We continued with our girls' talk which also revolved family issues. It felt really great meeting up with her again. Unfortunately, she would be flying back to Japan this coming Wednesday ; ( We parted ways and the rest of the day was spent with Fat Boy strolling around Orchard Road. He was anxious to find a suit for our actual day : )
As for Thursday, I met up with Sunshine Boy and Yvonne at Chevron House and we went to have dinner at Golden Cafe before heading to Nos, a KTV pub. Well, as much as I enjoyed the cheap and good beer, I was not comfortable with singing in such an open place (Guess I am too used to singing in a confined square box : P ) Fat Boy came to pick me up after his gathering with his ex-colleagues at Holland Village and well, home sweet home : )
My Friday was spent sleeping the whole afternoon away : P I was awakened by Fat Boy's call in the late afternoon. He told me to wash up and get ready for his sister's birthday dinner. We would be heading to Golden Mile Complex to have steamboat! : D~ We had desserts, sang birthday songs and cut cake at Ah Chew in Tan Quee Lan Street after that.
As for Saturday, we had dinner at Botak Jone's in Depot Road, played bowling at Mount Faber, watched "Coming Soon" at Marina Square and had tea at HK Cafe before going home. By the time our heads touched the pillow, it was 5am. I was damn deadbeat~
( - . - ) zzzz
Woke up at 11am on Sunday and went to Margaret Drive to doggybag one whole steamed chicken, boiled kale in oyster sauce and 7 packets of steaming hot fragrant chicken rice : D~ (It was a birthday treat to Daddy whose birthday is 3 March : ) ) Watched some Korean drama serials and met up with Myung Sop, Wynne's Korean boyfriend. They came to our house as the former wanted to pay a visit to Gramps. He wanted us to know that he was sincere in wanting to be with Wynne too : ) The 4 of us left the house after 2 hours and we had fish and chips for dinner at Fishermen's Wharf (I didn't like the oily and mushy fish : ( ) Went to Mediya to burn the excess calories before heading to Crazy Elephant to support Justin (He was the stand-in lead singer for the night) We left the place shortly as it was kinda boring - The long table and extremely loud music made it difficult for all of us to talk to one another : /

Life's Turning Point
Last Friday was my last day with the company and I am so damn glad to leave the rotten place which is constantly filled with the foul air of politics : D Both Yam Gal and I left on the dot and we headed straight the nail parlour to fix our nails before meeting up with Sunshine Boy and the rest at Molly Malone's : ) By the way, before we even stepped out of the office, Jacintha cried like a shaken baby (Guess nobody's going to help cover her ass anymore) Though I was excited to leave and not turn back to look at the office, I was starting to miss colleagues who were close to my heart, like Sunshine Boy, Claudia, Chloe, Jonathon, Justin, Adam :~(
Well, it was great to gather at Molly Malone's - We went crazy reading my last email, which was dedicated to every single one in the company, aloud and repeatedly : D~ We also joked about the few obnoxious people whose passion was to make life difficult for the rest. Food and drinks were not important that night. Camaraderie was : ) Well, god knows if we would have the chance to gather together again, hence, it was so damn important to utilize every single moment. We left at 11:30am as some of them had their own programs (Just as well, I had to rest early for the next day : ) )
I woke up at 9am the following day. I was so excited that I did not have breakfast : P Fat Boy went to Raffles Place to collect my hand bouquet whereas I stayed at home to wait for the makeup artiste (He was recommended by Rightie : ) ) Well, he was 15 minutes late and to be frank, he was chatty and friendly, which was good as I was put to ease : ) Halfway through the transformation to a beautiful bride, Adeline and Amy arrived and accompanied me : ) Rightie came afterwards and the 4 of us went to Zhou's Kitchen to overlook the table layout and seating arrangements. I was grateful that everybody turned up on time to shower both Fat Boy and me their blessings : ) I was very touched by Wynne's presence - She flew in from Japan just to attend this event and I shed tears of joy the moment I saw her (So embarrassing!) The solemnization procedure went well and yes, I am no longer a miss, but a missus and a happy one too! : D~
After solemnization, we proceeded to have lunch in the dining hall : ) Due to earlier pangs of heart-throbbing excitement and fatigue, I lost all appetite; hence, I went from table to table chatting and making sure that they were fine with the food. To heighten the atmosphere and satisfy everybody's curiosity, I unwrapped gifts on the spot. I was surprised by everybody's generosity - There were ang pows, a pair of crystal owls from Wynne, a limited edition Mickey and Minnie Mouse puzzle from Jan Jan and Match, red wine with a pair of glasses from Godpa and Godma, spa vouchers from Sworn Sista and her husband as well as a bouquet of lovely red roses from Rightie!
After lunch, we headed straight home to wash up and rest. It was damn troublesome taking out the hairpins from the hair and I was so worried about the damage the makeup would inflict on my estranged skin : ( I was also hungry and Aunt Maddy cooked Maggi mee for my empty tummy : P After resting for a while, both Fat Boy and I went to Kbox in Suntec City to meet up with AK, Jan Jan, Match, Nicole and Istari for a good crooning session, which ended at 2:30am. By the time we reached home, it was already 3:30am and instead of spending private time that everybody reminded us to have, we chose our beauty sleep : P
