Went to Punggol to chk out our future hse site.. nuthing is done still!!! haiz.. y take so long sia! Took some photos before go for lunch at Jalan Kayu Jerry's BBQ and Grill. The food is sooo yummy~ :)

And then lubby drove to Mt Faber and gave me a surprise mini bday cake! It's Cinnamoroll one!! Tat time we walked past polar and we saw and so he got it for me for a mini celebration. :) really love the cake so much! so cute!!!

Then we proceed to Vivo for movie, Twlight -- New Moon. It's our first time watching a movie at the Gold Class. NICE!!!! We went in early and ordered some drinks, sat down and chatted and slacked before going into the theater. The sofa in the theater is soooooooooo comfy!!! U can adjust the back of the sofa etc and even has a blanket! My favourite~ hehe.. And the show is nice coz i really like the story anyway.. looking forward to part 3 and 4~ shall read the story books first.. hehe

AFter the movie we walked ard before heading to our dinner place at Mt Emily, Hang Out. HEard so much abt Wild Rocket and so lubby decided to bring me there to try their food. Their menu changes frequently and thus what someone tried some mths back might not be available now. Anyway the food is not bad.. the embience is nice.. And we love the strawberry cheesecake.. super super yummy! The cheese is very thick, and it blends very well with the sour strawberry and the icecream, together with the biscuit!

As it was still quite early, we went to ECP for a walk. Blow Blow wind.. hehe..

I had a very very happy 26th birthday. Thanks Lubby for the camera and the bling bling and the cake and everything u planned! I enjoyed myself to the maximum and this is my happiest birthday!!!

The Long Awaited Surprise

'Dear, you want ur bday present now?' Lubby asked me when we were in his room yesterday.

'No, I wan it tml on my bday'

'U sure? u dun wan it now?'

'yah tml..'

And then he was looking disappointed and so I told him, 'up to u, if u wan give me now then now lo'

And after some 'persuation' i finally say ok and wan my bday present and so he took out a present.

I guessed it is the cam tat i wanna get.. and he said, 'cam box so small meh?'

So i tot, sumthing else? hmmmm

And after i opened and see, it is the cam! haha.. i sort of guessed tat because the day before I told him dat maybe i dun wan the black one coz is so not me, and he was like 'huh!' hahaha dat i noe sumthing is fishy...

anyway i took out the cam and start to test taking photo and den del off some of the ugly photos and suddenly, i haf a feeling tat maybe he has taken some photo yst to test test so i scroll to see and.... i saw a photo of my bling bling and the words 'will you marry me?' and den i saw the fine print 'pls say yes'.. hahahaha.. so cute!

Lubby then asked, so wats ur ans.. and den i say where is the real bling bling!

He took out a box of artificial roses with a boy bear and a ger bear and the bears were holding the bling bling. He kneel down and asked the question again.

I couldnt find any reason to reject him and so of coz i said yes. :)

I have nv tot of such an idea.. and it seems like it was not the original idea too..but after i mentioned tat i wanna get the cam, it gave him an idea. Coz he knew tat with my personality i will sure try to take photo with the cam. And sumhow i seem to feel tat there is more photos inside and so i scrolled to see.

Looks like we really can feel wat the other party is doing and thinking most of the time!

And now, I am yours, and you are mine! :D

I am totally in love with my bling bling!!! So pretty~~!~

The Proposal

Just like how it was like in the movie The Proposal, the gf proposed to the bf!

Months back when Lubby told me abt the Tissot watch he likes, I had this plan already.

Who says that ONLY guy can propose to ger? I wan us to be a special couple, I wan to be a special gf and I wan him to be a special bf.

If a guy can propose to his gf, y cant a ger propose to her bf?

So I went ard asking ppl where to get Tissot watch at a cheaper price. Seems like no1 really haf any definite answer. I went ard asking few shops on the price and even when I was in China, I went to check out all the outlets too!

However, the watch my lubby likes is not tat common. Many outlet does not carry that model and thus I was still trying to find until last Sunday.

I was at TM and checked and found the watch at a very resonable price. And without hesitating much, I bought it.

But I was really worried that my lubby will noe because I kept asking him abt the watch, the model, the price etc coz I was really worried tat I might get the wrong model! And the watch is not tat cheap!!!

My initial plan is to wait for him to propose to me, then I will propose to him with the watch. But after I bought the watch, I couldn't wait to pass it to him since he likes the watch so much! And thus I decided to bring forward my plan and propose to him before he does so.

Sun night I started to do a powerpt slide of all our photos and a poem written by myself. And then plan when and where to show him the powerpt and propose.

And as I can't wait to give him the watch, I gotta find a date tat is near and meaningful. And since todae is thanks giving day, I would use the poem to thank him for everything he has done for me and propose to him.

After dinner at Ikea, I started to feel very nervous. I felt like I'm going for some interview or exam. And then as he gotta go home to collect sumthing he bought online, I had no choice but asked if he could go up my hse to chk my computer coz sumthing is not right. And he asked wat is wrong with the comp. And I said I dunno how to describe I gotta show him. He then said, sumthing is fishy! And then I was so worried and 'scolded' him which made him more sure tat sumthing is realy fishy.

When we reached home, I gave excuse that I need to change and I took a long time coz I gotta open the powerpt slide, get ready the watch and etc.

And the moment he click on the screen and the powerpt slides started, both of us couldn't stop crying. haha.

And then when the powerpt slide showed 'will you marry me' I took out the watch and put in frt of him.

And of coz he said yes. hehe.

I'm happy that he is surprised and touched and happy because I wan him to be pampered just like how he pamper me. No1 should be deprieved from tat! And as long as I can, I will gif him surprises and pamper him and of coz shower him with all my love and care.

I Love You My dear.

Hope that todae will be one of the best and most memorable moment of your life! :)

What Matters Most In Life

Is HAPPINESS.

Are you happy now? If yes, congrats. If no, why? Can u find a solution to it? Can u try to change the situation and make urself happier?

From FB, MSN, chit chat sessions, I can see that my ex colleagues from NE are not happy. Well, we all noe tat we have not been happy since many mths back. But the situation has been getting worse for the past few mths, and ever since I left, it seems like it is getting even worse.

We all noe the reason. But we can't change the start of the problem. Because it has been fixed and we are not BIG enuff to change anything anyway.

So why did I leave my previous workplace? Well, wat I said in my interview is true. I wan a change in working environment. I love children and so I wanna do sumthing for them. I wanna contribute to another group of ppl in the society.

But on top of all these, it is because I can't stand the previous place.

I used to LOVE my previous job. And I really mean LOVE. I dun need to drag myself to work. I am happy at work. Even though I gotta work over the wkends, I was still happy and didn't really complain. Until the change.

Then I felt that I dragged myself to work everyday. I felt tat I am being controlled by those ppl up there. I felt tat I'm jsut a chess used by them. With the changes, I felt that I have to be a superwoman to be able to carry out those duties. And I dun feel any sense of belonging anymore.

When u can't feel the sense of belonging to a place, how can u actually work hard and make urself believe that u are happy in tat place? Since they dun appreciate wat we did, or I did, how do i bring myself to work for them?

Maybe we are just unlucky to be a stepping stone, and not being able to voice out our unhappiness etc.

And thus, since I can't change the problem or the situation, I move on and bring myself out of the problem.

I'm in my new job for the 4th week. Heard from my colleagues that they are 'overloaded' with work and everyone seem to work til quite late. But well, which job is so relax nowadays? Even cleaner aunties also gotta do so much more work than last time. But at least I am happy here. At least the ppl here are frenly. At least I feel a sense of belonging here. At least I have my own work station.

Though there is a pay cut, though I wun be able to get my full 13th mth bonus, though my march bonus will not be full amt too, but, can money buy me happiness.

Yes, maybe when I haf the bonus, I can get myself another LV bag like last year. Maybe I can save more for my hse and wedding. But will I be happy everyday in tat kinda working environment?

We work for at least 8 hrs daily. If we work at a place which we dun like, we will be upset for 1/3 of a day everyday! Is tat worth all the bonuses and etc? Well if you can tahan all the unhappiness and unfairness in order to get the $, then u can continue. But I cant. And thus Im out to sumwhere else.

Happiness is in our hands. We need to look for it. We need to fight for it. We need to make it happen.

So if u are unhappy now, think abt it, why is it so? is there anything u can do? And most importantly, do u want to be happy?
3rd Birthday Present

As I told Lok Hang the other time, I would want to get a black bag as my bday present this year.

Went searching for one, but couldn't find any nice and 'see-up-eye' one..

Was at Charles and Keith just now and saw this bag which I like! Tried on the black one but looked very 'flashy' coz of the material and reflective nature. And the purple looks nice! So I decided to get the purple one as it is quite dark and should be quite easy to match clothes, I hope.

So there I got my 3rd bday present of the year!

Thanks Lok Hang and Huixian! :)

I Can't Stop Smiling

After work, lubby came to fetch me from office and den came home to pick my parents and proceed to the airport coz my grandpa came sg today.

Lubby and I had popeye for dinner as he has been wanting to try and didn't get a chance to do so. And as usual, he ordered SOOOOO MUCHHHHH food tat we couldn't finish. Well, decided that next time I would be the one ordering to avoid wastage of food!

After dinner went to the toilet to wash my hands. When I came out from the toilet, a man with a little girl approached me. 'Excuse me miss, can you pls help to bring my daughter to the toilet?' I was quite shocked and didn't respond in time. He then continued to say 'Coz she is a ger so I cant bring her in.' (And then I remembered how my dad brought me to the GENTS when I was a little ger and urinated at the urinal.. omg...) And so I said ok no prob. Then he told his daughter that this jie jie will bring her into the toilet and he will wait outside for her. And then she whispered sumthing to him and he told me 'can u pls pass her some tissue paper after she has finished?' I was like oh no prob! And then we went in and she was holding her soft toy! So I asked the man, 'er... do u wanna hold her toy first?' hahaha.. I worry that her toy will drop into the toilet bowl la!

And then I brought her in. Wanted to hold her hands but she was so shy tat she refused to let me hold. Throughout the walk to the toilet, her body was super straight and she didnt talk, didnt look at me. And when we were in the cubicle, she stood there and looked at the toilet bowl while I locked the door. haha. Then I helped her to clean the seat. She was just a 2+ or 3 year old small ger and I was worried that she cant 'climb' onto the seat.. but she did it so ok la.. haha..

Then brought her to wash her hands.. wah heng she very light.. I still rem how heavy Ryan was when I carried him to wash his hands.. I was like Ryan are u done... and trying to tahan.. haha..

And then there we went out of the toilet, she was still walking or rather marching.. haha.. and the moment she saw her daddy out there, she hopped over! OMG she is sooooooo cute!!! Her daddy asked her if she thank me but she kept quiet.. so I told him is ok no problem. She is so shy~ but SOOOOOOOOO cute la~!!

And I keep thinking of her...though is just a very simple act, but I felt happy being able to help tat daddy and tat ger ger. And I wished that I have a daughter NOW!!! For the dunno how many times in this wk! :P

A Contented Sunday

In the morning, painted my finger nails with gold base and gold glitter at the tip. :) Pretty~ Bling bling! Not bad right? I think I can do quite a gd job, so dun need to go manicure~ :P

Went to Tampines to collect my reserved book from the library -- The Time Traveller's Wife. A book which I have reserved for so long ago! And I didn't haf the time or chance to collect it til todae. Then went shopping at Tampines. Bought two dresses from one of my fav shop at CS, Mila. Fell in love with the blue dress the moment I saw it. It's super cute! Got it since it looks quite nice on me. :) Bought another grey dress as there is 20% discount now for members.
Got myself a piglet water bottle so that I can bring a small bottle of water out for visits. At first couldn't find any piglet one, but lots of pooh ones. Then I went off to find at other shops and before going off I somehow due to no reasons decided to go back to look at the bottles again and ta da! I found my piglet!!!

My aunt just went to Switzerland (oman.. I wanna go too!) for work purpose and bought back 3 bars of chocolate. One bar is super long... and she bought more for us because I love chocolate! wahahhaa.. anyway opened a small bar and OHHHHHH MYYYYYYYYYYYYY GODDDDDDDDDDDDD~ It's heavenly! I felt as if I flew into the sky right after I ate the chocolate! Yum~~~~

I LOVE Children

That's my conclusion after my visit to centres today.

Was at a centre with my colleague for investigation purpose. We had to tok to the children in a room.

And the kids are just sooooo cute! They love to tok and tok and tok... and they are so excited to express themselves~! And they are such a happy bunch tat they always luff and smile after they talked abt sumthing.

Then after chatting with them for a while, one of the little ger suddenly sat on my lap. haha~ she is so cute.. she didn't ask me or wat but just sat on my lap.

Well of coz I didnt reject her and just continued to carry her lo.. :)

Then she went off to wash her hands and another ger came over and sat on my lap!

When the first girl came back she asked her fren to go off but her fren refused to. And so the first girl went to play with my bag. She carried my bag and said tat her bag is almost the same kind and even wanted to open my bag! haha.

Then we haf to bid gdbye and when we went downstairs to the 1st storey, the 2nd girl asked me to hold her hand and walked down the stairs.

I'm so happy and touched with all these little actions that the girls did.

They are just sooooo cute and sweet la!

Although I may not be able to face and play with the children everyday, but I'm happy that my job invovles children and I am able to talk to them, visit them and see them once in a while! :) Contented already~

Bday Present

Hehe, I received my 2nd bday present of the year~

First bday present is my omnia II from lubby.

Second bday present is a bag from Lubby's parents. His mum got the bag for herself and felt that it is nice and thus got one for me as my bday is coming. :)

It will be ideal to be used as a lunch bag. BUT apparently I do not need any lunch bag as we can only go da bao from the canteen and eat as we only haf 1 hr lunch time and it is not enuff to get down the mountain and go sumwhere else to eat.

But I can still use it when I do not need to bring too many things. :)

Hm... what else do I want for my bday?

1. Leather wallet
2. Watch (formal wear... those with metal strap)
3. Bling Bling earring.. (Real bling bling!!!!)
4. Black handbag tat is not too big and not too small.. I do not haf a black one!
5. $$$$$ coz im saving hard now...

Tat's all I can think of at this moment though..

No Infection?

Tat is wat the other clinic told me today.

Went to the associate clinic for chking of wound as my doc is out of town. The doc looked at my wound and said it looks ok dun worry. And he said tat we will need to take out the stitch and see how after dat.

So went to take out the stitch and the nurse said tat it is ok dun look like infection. The yellowish thing are just the accumulated cream tat I keep applying layer after layer, not allowing it to have time to dry. And they dun see the need to take antibiotic. They even asked me to wash my wound with soap and water. They said that if there is infection, the lip will be swollen. And the redness on my wound area should disappear after 1-2 days. The doc take a look at my wound after washing and said it is ok and looks fine.

The two clinics said different things. Well of coz I will prefer to trust my own clinic but as it is the nurses who chked my wound, I have some doubt too la... But it seems like they take photo of my wound and send it to my doc who is overseas.

So is there infection or is there not? Yellowish thingy there is pus or accumulated cream?

Well to play safe, I just continue to take my antibiotic.

And I was looking at my wound and realised that under the yellowish thingy are gaps and holes. But the associate clinic told me tat there seems to be no holes...

OMG I NEED MY DOC! But he will onli be back on Thursday!!!! :( Even if I have any problem and approched my clinic now, only the nurses can take a look... and if they ask me go to the associate doc, he will say no prob and it is healing.

I really really hope it is no prob and just healing..

OMG.. I'm damn worried again...

Infection

That's the current situation of my wound.

I didnt know those were pus.. because I hardly cut myself or injuired myself and see pus or infection.

I tot the itchiness is the healing of wound.

How come take one course of antibiotic and apply the anti-bacterial cream liao still can get infection?

U ask me I ask who.

How come normal ppl get a normal deep cut and den without applying any cream or take any med, the wound can still heal faster than me?

Because urs is just a cut.. mine is a surgery!

IF you all can ask so much, why didn't u all help me in the first place? Why tat when I show u all my wound, you all didn't say anything abt it TILL the nurse said it was infection just now?

So the wound got infected because I did the surgery on the 1st appt with the doc? When everyone else also just went for first appt, doc explained the situation and did it straight away? So wat if I didn't do it on the first appt? I go home wait 3 days and den go back to doc and say ok I will do it? Will that help?

Or perhaps it was my fault tat the doc was not free on Fri which was a BETTER date for surgery as on tong sheng. And thus did it on Thursday.

I'm already so worried abt the infection and being the 5% who get scars from this, and yet u all just ask me this and ask me tat, say me this and say me tat... I dun need all these! I need some words of encouragement and consolation...

Training for my legs

I'm still trying to get used to the journey to office and back home everyday.

Well, it's not as bad as I thought. Maybe I'm starting to get used to it already.

Basically, in the morning, the frequency of MRT seems to be quite fast and thus I'm able to reach Novena station fast! And then when I walk to the bus stop, I usually do not haf to wait too long for the bus to arrive. (let's hope it will stay this way!)

And I can reach office in 1 hr's time!

Similarly, during knock off time, the frequency of bus and MRT are fast and thus I can reach home fast too.

But one thing I still trying to tahan is tat usually I do not haf a chance to sit down... And tat makes my legs tired esp when I'm wearing heels!!!!

Just like now, my tighs are aching!!!!

First Day At The New Workplace

Had the very long journey there and then had induction in the morning.

Afternoon got to my dept and settled some IT and admin stuff.

Got to noe my colleagues but I cant rem their names liao.. haha... too many la~

My dept is full of young ladies.. with onli 5 men...

And just gotta noe that they just re-org and thus my dept is so called 'new'.. how come I always go to new dept/team? When I joined my previous company, my team was also new~! haha~

Anyway my colleagues seem to be quite frenly and fun... but then I have yet to interact with them.. summore my work station is so far away from theirs (coz their side no space liao...)

Tml will be following my colleague to one of the child care centre to see see look look~ :)

I still drag the travelling journey.. 1.5 hr to there... 1.5 hr back home.. by the time I reached home is already 8pm, bathed and had dinner 9pm, washed dishes and did some of my packing and washed up, 10pm... no life... how to exercise when I haf to wake up at 6am every morning and reached home only at 8pm? :(

Anyway I really hope that I will like this job and so that will be the motivation for me to travel so far~ (though I wished that I can stay at lubby place coz got direct bus!!! And he can even send me to work everyday! so near his hse!!! but my parents will kill me....haha)

New place, New People

After resting and nuaing for almost a mth, it's time to start work again.

This time round, it's a new place, with a new job scope, with new people tat I will have to work with.

Frankly speaking, I'm quite worried.

I'm worried of everything to do with the new job. Whether it is the new job scope, or the new environement, the new policies, the new rules (seen or unseen) and the new people, etc.

There will be a half day induction programme in the morning tml. I really hope tat thru the induction prog, I will be able to noe more people fr the new place, so tat I wun feel so left out and lonely and worried.

I hope tat the half day induction will at least bring me closer to my new colleagues and there will be nice colleagues who will actually ask me go lunch with them. I still rem my first day in my previous workplace. I met my boss, spoke to him till lunch time and then he told me tat he needed to haf lunch with his fren (who is another boss of another dept) and left me all alone. My team mate or who-so-ever all ignored me and I was all alone on my first day of lunch.

If this happens tml, I dunno wat to do because my new workplace is up on a 'mountain' and I really dunno where to go for lunch. *Cross fingers*

I'm also worried abt my new job scope. It's sumthing which I have not done before, and I have no idea what I will need to learn.

I'm also nervous abt the new environment. Every workplace or dept will sure haf its own seen, unseen, spoken and unspoken policies and rules. I just hope that I can get used to them quickly.

Though this is not my first job, but yet this is the first time I'm changing a job. Let's hope everything will be ok. :)
