墾丁之旅~ 3 Oct 2011

There were no shopping but a whole lot of relaxation. It is almost impossible to pose for photos on the beach because the strong wind blew the sand towards us! Our honeymoon suite has got the perfect view of the beach and I was telling baby that the view is just like a photoshop wallpaper, stunningly beautiful and mesmerizing~ The resort has got great facilities too- spa, swimming pool, fitness centre, arcade, internet room, billard room and also a playground for kids. There's a separate pool for pool games such as basketball/netball! You can also choose to sit along the beach, read a book or listen to the music. There's a street nearby that comes alive at night with pubs, restaurants and shops selling beach wear, sunglasses and souvenirs. I think the best part was to get the cartoonist draw a cartoon version of us :) The husband draws (in less than 5mins), and then the wife colours (which takes another 1 to 1.5 hours). I personally feel that the cartoonist is very talented.

Back to our room, the sound of the waves accompanied us to bed. Away from the bustling city, this place is definitely a wonderful place to unwind. Love you baby! Thank you for making it happen!

I've forgotten that he's a man with super high ego

2011-06-16T01:12:00.003+08:00

I've forgotten that he's a man with super high ego. I expect him to give in to me everytime until that day, the red alert sounded. He said I used to give in to him always. Perhaps deep inside me, I wanted him to pay back the pain he brought to me during our first year. I know this is wrong. I've seen his effort in our relationship for the past years. I should give in to him sometimes.

Our serious talk also involved his obsession with financial planning. He thinks that a man's job is to feed the family and to make decisions for the family. It never occurred to him that while future planning is important, those small little things between couples cannot be ignored. He focus too much on the bigger picture and overlooks on being sensitive and romantic. And I said, "What I want is not loads of money to spend. I want a husband who dote on me."

As a married couple, we really have alot more to learn. Another 2 more months to our 3rd anniversary. I believe we will get better and better.

怎么办? 我好难过。

Going Downhill

2011-05-22T23:14:00.013+08:00

No matter how much effort put in to doll up, I can never exchange for a bit of compliment. My partner doesn't open the car door for me anymore. He doesn't look at me with admiring eyes anymore. He expects me to run under the rain, with him, to the carpark opposite, in my dress and heels. In the midst of our date, he felt headache, he doesn't want to wait for the rain to stop (to move on to our next destination) and he has to show me his impatience, totally spoiled my day. Is it even necessary? It's all my fault. I gave him the easy way to woo me. I held on tightly to him when he ditched me. I forgave him with just an sms and a phone call. I accepted his proposal to me in an impromptu manner. At many times, I was thinking is it because I do not deserve the best treatment? Is something wrong with me?

Few days ago, wanting to brighten up my mood, he suggested bringing me to KTV at 10pm when it was a working day the next day. When I said "yes!", he replied , "huh.. is there anything else that can make you happy? I need to work tomorrow leh." He expects me to be an understanding wife, to reject the KTV. In the end, he relented. So we went, KTV is 5 minutes drive. All he did inside the KTV room was to use Iphone, ate his supper and doze off. I was the only one singing. He didn't bother to accompany me sing or cuddle me or... He did his own thing and heck care me. That's it. He was tired mah, after working long hours. Where was the initial intention of brightening up my mood? Not to mention couples, even normal friends will try to keep himself/herself awake to accompany his/her friends right? Today, first outing of the 2 weeks ended up a disaster. Both not on talking terms.

For our quarrels, most of them are no big deal. Problem is the way we handle it. We expect the other party to give in. We cared about our own feelings more than our partner's. A simple example is if I hit him, he will hit me back. He doesn't care if I would be in pain.

Is it because together too long that we forget the basics? To give in, to understand, make each other's day, to be there when needed? I realise I don't know what is love anymore, or maybe not once I knew what it was.

impromptu proposal

2011-03-22T17:40:00.005+08:00

Though I grumble now and then on how impromptu his proposal was, I still remembered how elated I was just by knowing that he chose me as his lifetime partner. Especially the month before ROM, all I could think of is me having engaged to the man I crave for. No mood to work and was hopelessly in love. I also remembered saying on my ROM day that "I'm very happy, finally married to him!". I don't have planned proposal. I don't have grand proposing. In fact, the special moment I've waited for in my entire life (till then), is sucha disappointment and far from imagined. But he is already the greatest gift I can ever have.

But it could have been soooo much better~ =/

So sweet!

2011-01-26T17:57:00.005+08:00

These 3 days of winter tour totally shagged me out! There was a great deal of walking with stairs after stairs on the mountains paths. We experienced chilling weather, high pressure and thin air up there. For the 3 days, we have to wake up 5am, 4am, 6am. Tired :(

Usually the hour before we leave the house/hotel room, Baby will nag and grumble, order me to speed up, spoiling the start of my day. His just-woke-up attitude is habitually grumpy. But yesterday, he was exceptionally sweet! He offered to blow dry my hair while I wear my 4 layers of clothes. We were 15 minutes late for breakfast and he didn't complain at all. Instead, he asked me to eat slower, don't rush the food down. I'm so surprised!

When we reached 合歡山, it was 0 degress. Not snowing but 合歡山 is all covered by accumulated snow. Baby put on my winter jacket hat for me to keep my ears warm. Each time the wind blew, my hat came down so I told him that I rather don't wear it. Baby insisted to put it on for me again and again hehe.. He placed his both hands on my ears, had his eyes locked onto mine and his nose touched mine. For that moment, we were like in our own world, everything and everyone else seemed transparent! He usually very against display of public affection, especially in front of our friends. I don't know what has gotten into him but I'm loving it!

compliments from Baby

2011-01-22T04:40:00.003+08:00

Baby says I look sexy with those big curls teehee.. Oh, I do feel shy haha.. I ♥ compliments, especially coming from you =P

insensitive baby

2011-01-13T01:58:00.008+08:00

When I create a fuss, it means I'm letting you know what's making me upset. When I give you peace even I'm upset, it means I give up. Believe it or not, for your every insensitive actions, I try to understand your part. Maybe you are just too tired. OR PROBABLY YOU JUST DON'T CARE ENOUGH. It's kinda depressing when I have to wipe my own tears while you are sleeping soundly. Hate you.

So in need of a drink right now.

used to having 6

2011-01-12T23:04:00.015+08:00

From 8 to 6. I'm already used to having 6.. Actually all of us know we are made of different individuals. I thought all of us accept each other good and bad points already, having together for 11 years. Of course at times we would get unhappy about someone/something which I believe we are used to keeping to ourselves rather than confront. That's our style.

And today, I wasn't the victim of the tantrum that's why I leave you guys to decide whether to go on or not. Yes, we are already adults. We can choose for ourselves. I just feel that if only we communicated more.. We are so used to not confronting therefore the unhappiness accumulated. Or maybe I can't relate myself well enough to what happened because I wasn't around.. Sigh..

not loved

2010-11-30T10:10:00.017+08:00

I don’t feel loved in my childhood days. This is why I sought love outside and therefore overly dependant on my other half. This is why I place my partner as my priority in life. My parents... Let’s just talk about my mum because my dad is all focus on work. I remember they only celebrated my 1st and 21st birthday. According to her, she feels that’s enough because she raised me up which is already a very big deal. She says she was treated like this by my grandmother too. And so, every birthday she made no efforts to show her love. Be it a present, a birthday cake or just a birthday wish. There was none. But she expects me to be filial, to remember her birthdays and mother’s day. She wants some form of gesture, well.. money shuts her up. This is so ironic. Both our birthdays are in December. So hers comes first, and mine never really came. My grandmother (the one I live with) is old and doesn’t know when my birthday is. But if she gets to know, she will definitely buy a cake after her work, waits for me to reach home and then insist to sing the birthday song for me and lastly, a small red packet as a gift. THIS is love. During ROM, mum's red packet is damn stingy. Less than 50 bucks? I don’t remember seeing a 50, maybe a 20 or 30 only. So MUCH for my big day. When I was about to fly off to Taiwan, I was the one who initiated a family dinner. It’s like WTF? Shouldn’t it be my parents wishing to bid me farewell? Baby has got more than 3 farewell dinners with his both sides family, uninitiated. Oh I envy him a hell lot because mine doesn’t care. In her context, it’s not even necessary to send me off at the airport or to fetch me when I came back for home leave. When I asked my dad to fetch me, mum suggest we come back ourselves because dad has to wake up early the next day to work. NICE right? HAHA. When I was sec 4, I wanted to rebond my hair. I was told to use my own bursary award cash. When I wanted new shoes I saw at JB, I was being told off for wasting money. In the end, dad tells my mum to buy for me and mum wants me to pay half of it. My depression mood originated from her. Because I’m not allowed what I want, I don’t ask for it anymore. It’s a sin to be heard coughing at home because she will scold us. Imagine I was already so sick, I still had to cough without letting her hear. Shouldn't children be coughing loudly to get parents pamper them? Whether we were allowed to go out with friends depend on her mood. When I was primary 1, she taught me how to count those coins so that I can buy my own lunch during recess. I took a little longer to recognize those coins and end up was taught by her cane. She was that impatient and unloving. When I bought stationeries from the school bookshop, I was caned when I got home. In my childhood days, I think my happiest moment is when my mum was in the hospital after giving birth to my youngest sister. No one to scold us and those days were so peaceful. 10 years later, my youngest sister did the same thing, bought stationeries from school and my mum “wow-ed” on it. Well, I don’t want to compare. In future when I have my own kids, I’ll definitely not treat them the way my mum treated me. I do love my mum, just that I’m not willing to give her more because I didn’t got enough love from her. And I hate it when she request filial piety. If you want to request, you better make sure you have given enough. And that's why I ended up treating people nice only when they treat me the same way. It should be a all-rounded one. Not only to be strict in your preachings, but to give treats to make your child happy. The same goes for marriage. You can't keep asking when you aren't giving. You know I'm so scared of giving birth :( experts say, normally when you are afraid of giving birth, it means you have an unhappy childhood. How true. And believe me, I'm not biased in what I say. I'd love to be able to brag on how my parents dote on me.

Change in me

2010-11-14T17:44:00.006+08:00

Some people think I'm imported from Taiwan lol. Comparing the 2 photos, I'm really so different! The wonders of makeup.. The second photo was taken in Aug 2008 and standing at 47kg due to over feasting. With all the farewell lunches/dinner from my ex-colleagues, my in-laws, Baby's friends, with BAT.. Lol.. 47kg is a great deal for me becos I stopped at 153cm. Hehe.

Failed to practice self-control!

2010-11-13T22:12:00.003+08:00

Argh. I failed to practice self-control! I swear I will not buy any purse for at least the next 3 years!!!!!! Always wanted a LV purse, now one thing off my wishlist =D The purse is actually more expensive than the bag LOL.. Omg. Love them ttvm. I have spent enough. Have I? :P

Shilin Night

2010-11-09T23:39:00.005+08:00

Last weekend, we travelled to Taipei to attend a wedding dinner on Sunday. I wished to go Shilin night market because I wanted to find the leopard print flats which I saw previously at Douliu but do not have my size. I wanted to try my luck at Shilin and Baby had cravings for the dim sum restaurant at Taipei. Therefore, we set off on Saturday. We discussed and decided to go for dim sum then to Shilin. We are both in good mood, having something to look forward to. THEN..

After dinner, it was drizzling and it sure dampened our mood. Walking down the streets of Shilin with an umbrella wasn’t a good idea. But then, we seldom head down to Taipei because of the travelling time, train tickets cost and hotel stay. Besides, it’s drizzling, not pouring. We could still go right? Baby having satisfied his cravings, he did not feel like going Shilin anymore. He said, “raining, how to walk?” As if the rain wasn’t enough to kill the mood sigh.. I didn’t get mad though; I continue persuading him to go. Baby not wanting to disappoint me, we head down to Shilin as planned.

In the cab, he kept reminding me of the rain, wanting to prove that I was wrong to insist going to Shilin. So I got angry. He got angry eventually too, especially that the rain gone heavier when we alight. I repeated, “it is drizzling, not even pouring. are you made of paper or what? cant you take this small rain?”. This kind of quarrel, how to determine who’s right who’s wrong? We both had our respective reason to go/not go. What made things worse was him getting a stomache suddenly. He asked me to shop on my own while he goes to find toilet. He went off with the umbrella! Logically, he should pass me the umbrella because I would be walking around while he would be in a shelter once he found a toilet. Zzz.. then on the phone, we were exchanging words of dissatisfaction. We hanged up on each other.

I was so upset. Walking down the streets, tears started to fall with the rain. At the point of time, I felt so alone. Well.. like what I said, there's no right no wrong. We had different point of view. I walked around several shops but still didn't see the flats. So I continue walking, window shopping.. At last, I chanced upon one shop that sells the exact design I wanted. It had my size. I was happy. Baby called me and apologised. And we made up.

Ultimately, we are husband and wife. We give and take.

Now.. the leopard print flats! Only NT190 per pair :)

心情没那么遭了

2010-09-26T23:49:00.002+08:00

心情没那么遭了。通常难过的事我会铭记在心。奇怪，就只有这件事我宁愿当作没发生。我封锁那记忆。我“忘”得很快。因为我很在乎他，所以我原谅他。我会给彼此机会弥补。我会一再一再…… 直到重复的伤害让我窒息时，我就逃跑。

害怕

2010-09-25T22:15:00.003+08:00

我4月时说过就算95%你是对我好的，重复的那5%足够摧毁我们。昨晚我重复地问自己“如果你一直这样，我怎么办？" 一直哭，然后有想逃跑的念头。可是婚姻本该一生一世。但如果一生一都要忍受“那”的话，还是要一生一世吗？不原谅你的话，我们就不会和好。不和好的话，接下来的日子还是要一起过啊，难道要分开吗？矛盾……

出轨，烂赌和暴力是我不能忍受的三件事。我愿意接受你抽烟。我愿意接纳我讨厌的家务事。就那三件事我永远不妥协。有句说法∶ 暴力的人不会改，只会变本加厉。但我还是不愿放弃这一点点可能，宁愿笨也不想要悔恨。不知不觉，我封锁4月的那份记忆。那天我表妹问起那件事时，我想了想才发现记忆已被我埋藏。我不愿意想起，因为不敢相信发生了，不想承认你会这样。我很在意。我很难过。我很害怕。

又怎样？还是不可以放弃。不能放弃我的坚持，都走到这了。只好望前走。假装恢复了，假装相信不会再发生。

Vivi Ferdora Audrella Quote

2010-08-22T02:44:00.002+08:00

When he says he misses you, you're afraid he's just lonely. When he says he needs you, you're afraid he's just horny. When you love him alot, you're afraid it'll be a one way thing. When he says he loves you as much, you're afraid he doesn't mean it. And when he proves to you that he really loves you just as much, you're afraid that it might change someday. - Vivi Ferdora Audrella

寂寞的心, 总有一天会崩溃.

太多的期待, 是一种伤害.

被误以为是因为任性, 很伤心.

一再重复, 很累.

简单的要求被轻视, 无奈.

Never Let You Go - Janice 衛蘭 (English version of 大哥)

2010-08-15T19:08:00.003+08:00

You forgot all about this song. I asked you last night, have you heard this song before? You have no idea. We were at the park nearby my home. We were listening to this song from my handphone. I told you how I felt this song speaks so much of my feelings to you. I was trying so hard to convince that we will work things out, and please don't breakup with me. And then, you were unwilling to commit to a "yes". Ya.. of cos you don't remember. You didn't care back then. Leslie posted this song on his facebook and it appeared on my "news update". Haiz. I never expect I still feel this sad when listening to this song. 2 more days to call our 2nd year. I love you baby. Sorry for the things I did, or I did not do. I do love you alot, though we fought every other day. I do appreciate the things you did for me, the changes you made to yourself.

"I will sing to you, and tell you I won't live my life without you"
"I will hold your hand and look into your eyes, and you'll know I'll never let you go."

Updates after back in Taiwan

2010-07-27T21:47:00.003+08:00

When I don't blog, it's usually a good thing cos' normally human beings write when they need to release their overflowing emotions, and these kind of emotions 9 of 10 are usually sad :( Well.. of course I've got my own issues such as where we will be staying after we finished our 3 years stay in Taiwan. With my in-laws, my grandparents or separately? Conclusion till date is to stay together in my grandparents' house. Maybe we will have to pay abit on the household expenses or a rental sort of, but I feel this money is definitely worth spending. I can even sacrifice my job, my promotion, year-end bonus and my bonding with friends and family to come all the way here. What's a few hundreds per month so that we can stay together? Though Hub gave in to my request, I don't know if he actually feels the same way, that husband and wife shouldn't stay separately. Anyway, I've gotten what I wan, so there's no reason to whine. Besides that, not much of a major issue. Life has been peaceful although I'll still get angry sometimes because he wack me.

The continuous rain and strong wind make it impossible to dry my clothes~ Certain areas in Taiwan are flooded. Wierd weather nowadays. Hope it will be nice weather this weekend, don't let it spoil our date. Tomorrow will be my 1st attempt in cooking black chicken herbal soup! In the mood of cooking recently but is super lazy in sweeping the floor. I'll try to sweep this week hehe. I didn't know cooking for husband can be so enjoyable :) What a dutiful wife I am haha!Hate the washing of dishes though lol.

No wonder they say once you got Iphone, you wouldn't want to use other phones! We can ping! and tweet as and when with no overseas charges. No wonder our blogs are full of spiderwebds :P And also the GodFinger game which B.A.T got me addicted! Btw, JC and Mavis are the ones who succeed to tempt me to buy Iphone! Whenever they mass ping! to jio for dinner, I'm so envy. They still include me in the ping! message though I'm not in Singapore; I don't know want to laugh or cry~ Got to know their activities but no able to join :(

Long awaited trip

2010-05-09T19:52:00.003+08:00

HAHAHA! It's only 4 days away! After knowing each other for 10 freaking years, we finally have an overseas trip together. What makes it better is I'm staying in Taiwan currently and thus don't have to pay for air tickets!! *grins* Shop and shop and shop. Eat and eat and eat. Spend and spend and spend hehe.. And I will enjoy your company to the fullest! Your clothes and bags are stacking in my bedroom. Faster come collect your loots! See ya Thursday at the train station muacks! Ohh.. I wanna hug all of you!!!

receive my own mail

2010-04-20T22:45:00.002+08:00

Have you encountered receiving a parcel whereby the sender is youself? In Taiwan, when you want to send a mail, you indicate the "from" above and the "to" below. I did check with the post office personnel but in the end, I receive my own mail! It was damn funny and stupid. The postman made a mistake and I had to make another trip to the post office grrr... For a moment, I thought I had the addresses written the opposite way.

violent you

2010-04-10T04:52:00.002+08:00

I still can't put that behind, however hard I try. If you love me, how can you abuse me? Within the gentle you lies a violent you. I was attracted to you because you were gentle, you were protective. And why does man think that by saying sorry, the woman has to accept and stop whining? I know that if I continue to pursue this matter and quarrel with you, you would end up irritated. So, we seemed ok last night and today before you left for Kaohsiung. I didn't want to forgive you, but what else can I do? It's feelings you are hurting. I know I'm damn sad when I'm crying while typing. Everything else can fail but please, don't let him fail me.

very disappointed

2010-04-07T03:30:00.002+08:00

I’m very disappointed. I thought after that one serious incident, I’ve got my point across. At the first place, such thing shouldn’t happen at all. You started off with your good intention, serving me water and woke me up from my sleep. I was already half way through my sleep and didn’t wish to get up. And yet you have to force me by using physical force, pull me up. This is not the first time already. And then after your several attempts, end up having water splashed on me. You got a little fed up and threw the used tissue at me, with force. So I threw it back at you, which failed to hit you and you threw it back at me. Then I threw my soft toy and cushion at you, which failed to hit you too. And you were damn pissed off and threw them back at me with force, like slamming the things down. For not only once but more than 3 times, the things flew here and there, each time your force even bigger. This continues until you cannot take it, you empty the water and threw the empty cup at me and scolded "bloody hell, don't drink don't drink la!" What the fuck?! Am I your enemy or what? You came home from work stressed and tired and this gave you the right to vent your temper this way? This is not even the normal you. You know when I was young, my dad didn’t bear to hit me in anyway even if I was naughty. The most he did was to smack my butt, which was not painful in anyway. And you? Not only you threw things at me with force, you aimed the cushion on my head. Yes, they are just soft and light items. However, the force you used made a great impact. This is not okay. Even if 95% of the time you aren’t like this, the recurring 5% is enough to kill our marriage. I couldn’t sleep after that and even after you were soundly asleep, I cried and many things come into my mind. I begin to think negatively again. I begin to hope I didn’t exist at all, like how I used to think always.

Touching Song

2010-03-26T14:59:00.004+08:00

We joined Choir cos' we love to sing. Love the music, love the lyrics. Nice songs touch my heart. And for so long, again, a song that made me cry.

想念是会呼吸的痛
它活在我身上所有角落
哼你爱的歌会痛
看你的信会痛
连沉默也痛
遗憾是会呼吸的痛
它流在血液中来回滚动
后悔不贴心会痛
恨不懂你会痛
想见不能见最痛

我发誓不再说谎了
多爱你就会抱你多紧的
我的微笑都假了
灵魂像飘浮着
你在就好了
我发誓不让你等候
陪你做想做的无论什么
我越来越像贝壳
怕心被人触碰
你回来那就好了
能重来那就好了

It's one of those bloody days again

2010-03-17T18:54:00.003+08:00

It's one of those bloody days again sigh.. That explains why I had serious cravings the night before it came. Baby was all ready for bed after a whole day work and I made him get me some food. He was like 'Huh.. but I already bathed and all that, don't want to go out leh..". After my constant whining, he fried me 2 chicken patties and surprisingly, he was extremely gentle and tolerant to my whining *grins* He was too good which made me feel like I'm so bad. That night, I had nightmare. I dreamt of him being nasty to me like in the past. Oh, I think I hit him when I woke up from the nightmare and he's still asleep hehe.. It's kind of funny, the fact that I bully him and is subconsciously afraid of karma >.<

It's Spring now, the weather is so aircon-ing except it gets cold when there is big wind. I'm having a fabulous time doing my online shopping while Baby working OT these few days. At night when Baby comes home, he'll cuddle me, have bedtime chat and fall asleep together. Contented life I'm enjoying right now~ <3<3

Back to Taiwan

2010-03-09T22:12:00.003+08:00

Back to Taiwan and my usual lifestyle continues.. A new cold front has arrived today and hit my area at 10°c low :( It's expected to persist until tomorrow. It's supposed to be Spring now but cold front kept coming; the previous one was during CNY. Days are homely whenever the cold wind comes. Last week there's an earthquake and yesterday another earthquake again. Makes me worried. We are subjected to all these repeatedly including Typhoon if we continue another year here. Sometimes I'm scared, especially when I'm alone at home. Lucky for me that I got to know a very nice helpful SG friend here who is always a call away.

Hub is away till Friday and I got myself entertained with cooking and doing the laundry. Everything's fine and back to track after our SG trip. Perhaps because we slept separately in our own homes for last week and had our own programs; a little absence helps to rekindle the unmarried times. And perhaps because Hub read my little diary which records how we got attracted to each other, how I felt when he started to treat me badly and our emotional struggle during our turning point. And also, perhaps because a waiter at Wisma tried to know me, told me I'm cute and asked if Hub was my friend/boyfriend when Hub went to toilet haha! It made Hub jealous and buey song =D Well, he didn't admit he was jealous but he was definitely bu shuang cos' he kept staring at the waiter. I liked the feeling :) Just now Hub called, and I told him I was bored. Guess what? He asked me to "go online shopping lor" hahahaha. So encouraging! I'm waiting for the new launch on Thursday and Friday =D Thanks Baby, for treating my family to dinner and the many many treats you have given me, cabbing to Boat Quay just to join me and my cousins last Friday, paying for my Martell share and sending my sister home that night. I'm sorry I hit you when we quarreled last month.. I'm guilty of that. Let me cook you nice food when you come back.

Quarrel

2010-02-21T22:40:00.001+08:00

I was watching our ROM video myself. It fails to rekindle the special feeling I had that day. 1 and a half year down the road, things have a slight change. I might not know how to exactly express how I feel or what had happened, but what I can tell you now is that my husband is outside my room knocking unfriendly at my door. I locked him out of our bedroom. Not that the locking is any useful; I knew he could get the door keys from our living room. The locking of door just means that I do not wish to see him right now. The issue an hour ago is about household chores. He went downstairs to wash and dry the bed sheet for which I let him do himself. I didn’t want to do it together because of earlier argument. When he came back with clean bed sheet and pillow covers, he thought of shifting the new cupboard into our room. For 2 weeks, the new cupboard stood still in the living room and now he’s got the kick to shift it in, I had to help him. Without measuring whether the cupboard can fit in that space, he cleared that space and brought in the cupboard. Stupid. Then he decided to shift to another space where all my barang barang were and I had to clear the space immediately. For household chores, I will do it or learn to do it, provided that I’m being treated the correct way. I would like to be appreciated for things I’ve done and not blamed for things he think I should do but I did not do. Well, he’s throwing my things while tidying up and shifting the new cupboard in our room. He’s doing it very noisily and deliberately. At times, it can get so annoying and we will shout at each other. And at times I made him too angry, he push me by my shoulder. He’s violent to an extent but does it only within closed doors. If you want to comment on my bad temper, see his temper first.

Customary wedding or not

2010-01-28T17:54:00.017+08:00

Is having a customary wedding important? On a realistic point of view, it is a financial burden with tons of planning and preparation. In the end, what purpose does customary serves as? To satisfy our traditional parents/grandparents?- We don't have to as long as we have our own stand. And our family members won't force us. For the sake of going through the norm?- Nah. Don't have to follow any norm. Or.. As a celebration? The wedding dinner- In different phase of life, you will have certain celebration, more commonly.. a birthday celebration. We plan, we spend because it's a special day. Not because it's legally required but just because we value this certain person and want to make some effort to make this special person happy. And a marriage I believe is a special occasion for a special "we".

Hmm.. Is it possible to omit the traditional tea serving and just have the wedding dinner? So that it will be less troublesome? I feel sad when Hub only thinks financially. He doesn't want a customary already :( Am I not special enough? Hub says we can use the money to go for a holiday. Can a holiday trip well replace the wedding? We had a mini wedding dinner along with our solemnization in 2008. I'm not in a wedding gown!! A special day vs the monies involved. It is a difficult decision!

Hub is like running away again. First, he runs away from the kneeling down+diamond ring+roses+romantic place+surprises for proposal. Then, he tries to escape from customary. I'm afraid in time to come, my 1 carat won't come too. It's not about the monies.. They are women's dream of a perfect wedding :(

I'm so obsessed with big ribbon hairbands! And dresses are my all-time favourite. I'm starting to love leopard design items too :) Now end winter, many shops clearing instocks and prices slashed to half. So you can guess what I'm busy with recently. Summer dresses will launched soon! Last week I saw on the TV someone wearing a Lady Gaga ribbon hairbow. Very cool! My eyes were glued to the TV when I saw it. Yesterday I found it selling online and was thrilled. It is made of fake hair tied into a big ribbon, the latest thing in Japan now. Waiting for the item to arrive :P

Wife kills for insurance claim

Woman murdered her mother, then her mother-in-law, then her husband for insurance payout. How horrible can a person be?

Dental Phobia

2010-01-17T16:26:00.003+08:00

I finally overcome my dental phobia and gave the dentist a visit, after like.. 11 years? Haha. It was freaking pain! But no sign of tooth decay, which is a piece of good news :)

Time really flies. I've got only 10 months left before I shift back to Singapore. I hope time could slow down so that I need not face the working society yet. When I go back, I need to re-adjust myself. I have to find a new job, face demanding bosses and back-stabbing colleagues.. I have to face my MIL, please her.. I have to worry about our new home, our customary.. I have to make sure that bitch doesn't get close to Hub.

Perhaps in Taiwan, things are much simpler with just the two of us. But when it's time to carry on, it's time to carry on. Besides, I need to work, to continue learning else my brain will cease to function someday. And when my other half is progressing each day, I can't stay root. Deep down, he cares alot that I'm depending financially on him :(

Maybe I'm just a little moody today.

Flight Confirmed

2010-01-12T15:44:00.001+08:00

It's again a short one week.

Hokkaido Review

2010-01-06T16:57:00.007+08:00

Okay.. After ample rest, after watching a movie of a lousy plot, after doing the laundry and after cleaning up the house, I can blog now.. These 9 days worn me out totally. I was in Hokkaido for 5 days and followed by Taipei for 4 days. We have to wake up early everyday to catch up the schedule-of-the-day. Plus the hours and hours of traveling, not to mention being trapped in the plane for 3 hours before departing back to Taoyuan Airport on the 30th December. The delay was due to the heavy snow which caused the plane to freeze and so we had to wait till the plane defrosts. We were lucky though; the previous tour group had their flight cancelled because of that.

On the 26th December, we set off at 4.00am for Taoyuan Airport and it’s a 3-hour journey. From Taoyuan to Hokkaido was another 4 hours journey. And within Hokkaido, traveling here and there was an average 1 to 2 hours each. We returned back to Taiwan on the 30th December and arrived at Taoyuan Airport on the 31st December 1.30am, reached home at 5am. And then, we re-packed our stuff and proceed to Hub’s camp at 6.30am. Their yearly winter tour (within Taiwan) happened to be held on the 31st December. Anyway, all the traveling caused me an aching body :(

The Taipei tour was nothing interesting, so I shall skip this. Frankly speaking, I do not know how to appreciate old buildings and cultures. Only certain food and lots of shopping interest me here. As for Hokkaido, it was snow everywhere! When we woke up and looked outside, it was a whole land of white. It’s very beautiful to see but walking on the snow was a tedious task. When the snow becomes icy, the walking paths become slippery. Therefore, it’s very important that your boots are slippery proof. The weather was cold like being in a fridge. When you talk, there’s smoke coming out from your mouth. We wore layers and layers of clothing but still, we’ll feel cold as our face is not covered. My lips are so dry!

Snow, snow and snow..

Their wet market.. Just look at the size of crabs!

We had good food everyday in Hokkaido. It’s either buffet or steamboat type. I must mention, the crabs are simply delicious!! Without any gravy or sauce, the crab meats are juicy and sweat. And they are very big! I had my favourite salmon sashimi too; free flow haha! Almost everyday, we had ice-cream after meals. Oh, things are not cheap in Japan. One ice-cream cost 300yen, about SGD$4.50. Drinks from the vending machine are also expensive. I forgot how much le..

We had snow fights..

Snow activities..

Surprisingly, all the public toilets in Hokkaido are clean and well-equipped (unlike Taiwan). The toilet seats are warm and with a press of button, it can help you wash your butt haha. To sum it all up: Scenery was great. Food was mouth-watering. Hotel beds are comfortable. Public toilets are clean. People are friendly. Things are expensive.

Another thing to mention; Hub bought a baby crab as a pet -.-

hubby unable to join for BAT overseas trip

2009-12-19T04:54:00.003+08:00

Ironic leh.. My "auntie" came looking for me today and will go just in time before my Hokkaido trip next Saturday lol.. Maybe it's meant to be, for me to be able to experience Japan's hot spring ;P

Dear BAT,

My hubby is unable to join us for the BAT overseas trip due to his hectic work schedules :( There is a change in his schedule, as informed by his boss. Hence, we will have to travel by ourselves (but I don't know how!)

Supposed to be in Hokkaido

2009-12-18T07:37:00.002+08:00

We are supposed to be on our way to Taoyuan Airport for Hokkaido! Haiz.. Our agent told us yesterday that the tickets are for 26th December because SOMEBODY called them to change the date from 18th to 26th. Outrageous, the fact that she (our agent) accept instructions from unknown caller. She is unable to identify who called her. And to cancel the trip, each person has a pay NT10,000. Zzz.. But anyway, we have decided to go on the 26th then. I wonder if the X'mas decorations are taken down by then.

This week will be very cold in Taiwan. Today's weather forecast shows 9°C low and 17°C high, now at 13.4°C.

Kaohsiung weekend

2009-12-07T00:01:00.003+08:00

A clubbing Friday and a very shopping-ish weekend! Shopped for our Hokkaido trip. Tasted yummy food. Kaohsiung is a very nice place. And what a trip! The tyre pun-chek on the expressway. Me tio o-gong for not putting on the seatbelt. So suay lor. Never been fined before. But it had been a safe trip, which is the most important.

Anyway, next topic. I always know that long distance relationship is very difficult to maintain and there are too many cases of people breaking up despite being together for many years. Or even worse, divorce. I witnessed how love grow naturally between 2 friends cos' of the time spent working together overseas. And the poor wife back in SG, can only feel sad for her. That is why, FOLLOW YOUR HUSBAND IF HE WERE TO GO OVERSEAS TO WORK! For those not married yet, try not to commit into a long distance relationship. Really. To keep the love going and burning, the amount of time spent together complemented by the things you do for your partner, have direct impact on relationship.

Wonderful Hubby

2009-12-01T05:12:00.001+08:00

Haven’t been updating cos’ not much a change recently. Stepping into an eventful December. I always love December, the month when we used to enjoy school holidays and when we are out to work, the month we get our yearly bonus. This year, I’m neither a student nor an employee. But my birthday still falls in December and I’ve got a Hokkaido trip to look forward to! What makes it more meaningful is that the trip is not initiated by me; I did not request and I did not cajole haha! In fact, I once rejected the offer cos’ it’s costly. A surprising news to me, though Hub kept remind me that he’s such a wonderful Hubby by sponsoring the trip. I know he’s a wonderful Hubby even without this Hokkaido trip.

Last week, Hub was away from home for 2 nights. I missed him a hell lot, and I realised it’s been so long since I last missed him. I couldn’t sleep and started thinking about our past. I started thinking about how this nasty bf transformed to the current loving husband. I thought of how we dealt with our mixed emotions and how we made up our mind to spend our future together. Some couples are combinations of a dominant and a weak. I will say both of us wanted to dominate the relationship. We want to tell our partner what to do and how to do. We are two stubborn and demanding people. We won’t change, but we don’t make the other party change. We understand each other. We learn how to give in and when to give in.

Last time when we quarrel, he always wanted a right or wrong. He wouldn’t give in to mood swings or whatsoever. But now, he tries to understand why I’m unhappy and as long as I’m not too demanding, he will give in to all my needs. As for me, I won’t make too demanding request. Sometimes, I will reward him by presenting him a sweet wifey. Oh, sometimes I’m a naggy wife, sometimes a fierce wife and sometimes I’m like a girlfriend hehe..

I used to think we had communication problem. He’s not opening up to me. He often gave me short answers and didn’t like to elaborate. He seldom tell me how he feels, his frustration, his work problems etc etc. And when I probe further, he would show his frustration. I like my partner to share with me his everything and through our daily conversations, to get to know more about him. As time pass by, he started telling me more. And now I even have to shut his mouth sometimes haha! From a cool cool boyfriend, he became a cute cute husband (:

The part I love most is that we can foresee what the other party will do or say. It’s amazing. Baby, I love you more than words can say.

taiwan news

2009-11-05T19:05:00.004+08:00

And today, the news reported of a drunken man holding a watermelon knife, chasing after his wife. Zzz.. Sometimes, the news channel is enough to keep us entertained.

An earthquake of magnitude 6 striked us today, considered a moderate earthquake. We experienced several minor ones this year but the house did not shake that vigorously as today. We lived at the 14th level. I felt the whole building swaying, hub in his camp now. I'm alone!!! My friend's toilet wall cracked. There's no visible damage to mine. I'm packed and ready to run if there's another earthquake!

And I asked hub, "should I bring my LV along?" hahahahaha.

tricksters

2009-11-03T13:34:00.002+08:00

Throughout my stay in Taiwan, I’ve received 2 calls whereby the caller attempt to con me, faking a story to ask me to transfer money to an account or to divulge my account info. The story seems real because they know my name, what I bought online last month, when I made payment and how much, the last 5 digits of my account number etc etc. I wonder how they get these info. Such tricks are so common here.

That day I was watching a variety show. They were in the midst of shooting then one call came in and they put on to loudspeaker. On the other line, there’s a girl crying and crying, asking for Mum to come rescue her, saying that she kenna beat by bad guys who want money. In other words, the girl (the caller) was pretending to be the daughter calling for help, asking for money. The actress (the handphone owner) knew it was fraud because her daughter is still a baby, has not learnt to talk yet. But the actress “entertain” the girl and replied that she will go rescue her after she’s done with her filming. Then you know how the girl replied? She stopped crying and said, “这样拆穿人很好玩吗? 我们这也是辛辛苦苦赚来的钱!” It’s like what the fuck! That is why I don’t dare to go out alone when hub is working. You never know what will happen. Everyday I see the news reporting about people meeting with mishap. There were 2 cases where dead body found in unwanted ice cream fridge. There was even a case where the man throw his baby in boiling water and another case where the woman use knife stab her baby.

Be it a shopping heaven here, Singapore is still the safest place (: At least, crimes and frauds are kept minimal and under control. And at least, Singaporeans are mentally sound.

Expensive December!

2009-10-27T11:53:00.001+08:00

Expensive December! Hokkaido~ Hokkaido~ Hokkaido~ Initially I was in a dilemma. I wanted to go but it cost NT54,000 for 2 pax, 5 day 4 night tour. We had some savings but apparently not so much either. At last, I made up my mind and told Hub to forgo this time and go only after we save more money, maybe a few years later. Hub was quite persistent still, even though he didn’t say much. Then the next day, he told me of HIS decision and proudly declared that he’s sponsoring this trip for my birthday! I was feeling kinda mixed. I didn’t want him to spend but on the other hand, I was thrilled! And so, we can start our preparation soon! Shopping for the very thick winter coat, gloves, ear muff etc etc.

We will be going to theme park, watch the dolphin, seal and penguin perform.. Cable car.. Sightseeing.. Watch the beautiful night scene and X’mas lightings.. SNOW ACTIVITES!!! Hot spring.. Crab buffet.. Japanese cuisine.. Sashimi.. Aww.. This is paradise :)

And one week after the Japan tour, it will be our yearly winter tour. Every year, his camp will organise a Summer tour and Winter tour as a cohesion. This year, we will be touring Taipei area. They mentioned about going for the New Year countdown. Yes, the winter tour falls exactly on my birthday. Oh my god. Last year, I “warned” Hub already not to bring me for New Year countdown ever again. The fireworks are nice but I just can’t stand the huge crowd and the difficulty in going home aftermath. Most importantly, I can’t stand counting down to the end of my birthday! I know this sounds stupid. I mean how many of you actually experience people counting down to the end of your birthday? And god this year I’ll be forced to go again -.- What to do.. I’ll be very childish if I say I don’t want to join in the winter tour just because of that.

To conclude, this December is an expensive December.. for Hub hehe.

Hokkaido~ Hokkaido~ Hokkaido~
Sashimi~ Sashimi~ Sashimi~

What's in this season

2009-09-25T12:27:00.006+08:00

It's September already and I'm ready to welcome the cold season! Using the excuse to stock up clothes that will keep me warm, I've been happily shopping online for this whole week. I've bought up till 10 items already heh heh.. I find the leggings design very fashionable! Instead of a normal black stocking, they have different tone of black and design are bold. This is what I like about Taiwan :) :) :)

Hub has started nagging about saving money. Haizz.. A new Burberry bag and a LV coin purse.. my expenditure in SG.. all within this month. Next month going to eat shit liao lol. The bag is an early gift from Hub. So including the Valentine's Day LV bag, I think no more presents for me this year le. Hub says I'm banned from branded awwwwss~~ Shall wait for next year hahahaha. I'm seriously going to scrimp this winter!!!

wedding photos uploaded

2009-07-22T18:25:00.002+08:00

I love my Samsung S5230! I've got all my wedding photos stored in there so I don't have to carry the bulky album back to SG :) As some of you might have noticed, I've uploaded quite a few on my blog, the left panel under photo album. Leave me some comments too!

11 months down the road

2009-07-17T01:39:00.005+08:00

We used to quarrel often, fight to win. 11 months down the road, we've learnt to treat each other the correct way, the giving way, the loving way. We already knew we have similar traits, but now we realised we share common habits. Or even still, inherit each other's habits. We learnt the meaning of living together, and make each day a better day. Especially when someone we knew passed away, we knew we have to treasure each other more. We grow up together, with every new events in our life. We share thoughts and problems, and support each other in every way.

That day Hub came into our room, sat in front of the TV and started watching Doramon. Then he suddenly turned to me and asked, "Why I become like that?". Over time, he begins to enjoy the things that I love to do. He even got addicted to one Korean drama that I was recently into. This is so unexpected!

I used to find him mysterious.
Now I can guess him in a wink of eye.

I used to find him unreasonable.
Now I find him super adoring.

I used to love him very much.
Now I love him even more.

Baby, happy 11th month anniversary. Muacks <3<3

anniversary present

2009-07-09T23:57:00.003+08:00

I wish I wish for a Samsung S5230 Star for our anniversary present!!!

And I know my wish will be granted *grins* But sadly, Hub cannot bring camera phone to work. Envy those couples holding same phone model and displaying each other pics..

mixed feelings

2009-07-08T01:26:00.006+08:00

Hi peeps! I’m back from my summer tour.

I’m in mixed feelings. Sometimes I think I’m contented with waking up daily with no agenda; doing things that I feel like doing. Watching cartoon and dramas, settling my own lunch and munching snacks between meals, doing online shopping, playing games and surfing net, doing the laundry or mere sleeping like nobody’s business. But on some emo days, I find that those things I do are as good as nothing. I feel useless. I don’t work to earn a living. I don’t have kids to look after. I don't have loads of money to be a tai-tai. I'm neither here nor there. I… I’m at my prime age.

But I don’t regret my decision. Nothing beats being able to stand by him. As long as he continues to smile to me and kiss me as he always did <3<3

Going back sg in August

2009-06-22T22:29:00.002+08:00

Collecting my photos in mid July. If the album is not that heavy, I'll bring back when I fly back in end August. Or should I keep you all in suspense? Hehe.. When I go back, there are people I'll like to catch up with, food that I want to eat, places to go, gifts to give away.. Must put aside time for me ok? Most probably staying for 3 weeks or so. Summer tour next week. Hub's on leave 5 days in a row. Movies this weekend :)

You are forgiven. You say you feel nothing for her, I believe. Compare to the past, you become much more giving and loving. For this, I believe.

First, it was a lie. Then denial.

2009-06-20T23:34:00.002+08:00

If you are reading my blog now, it means you want to know whether I’m doing fine or feeling lousy. So if you are reading her blog, we know what it means. Of all things, you know I can’t tolerate anything about her. First, it was a lie. Then denial. This is a form of cheating, though not physically. Obviously you don't feel nothing for her. Obviously.

slut

2009-06-17T10:30:00.001+08:00

Apparently, Somebody’s heart skipped a beat while reading the news on the SAF regular. “I shall pray for his health, safety and happiness,” she blogged. Who does she think she is? Seems like she still feel so connected to my Hub. Slut. I hate her just as much as Hub hates my Ex.

recent news on the death of a SAF regular

2009-06-16T13:37:00.001+08:00

The recent news on the death of a SAF regular came too sudden. He happened to be Hub’s colleague in Taiwan and I’ve met him several times too. It made many of us think, “what if” our love ones were to die someday. The mere thought makes me shiver with fear. Life is really unpredictable, must treasure our love ones. Though he’s not yet married, he had a girlfriend and had been saving money to marry her on his return to Singapore. The girlfriend must have felt horrible, and his family too.. Sigh.. What a misfortune.

Ghosts Of Girlfriends Past

2009-06-14T04:01:00.004+08:00

The movie "Ghosts Of Girlfriends Past" is a very touching show. Even the very MAN man feel touched and almost teared!! I don't know if it has been released in Singapore. If yes, remember to catch it with your boyfriends! In the movie, there's this qoute saying, "In a relationship, the one who has more power is the person who CARE LESS." Very true, I would say. But the person will never get to experience true love, as reflected in the movie. We rather risk getting hurt than forgoing the chance to experience true love. But don't risk it all lah~

Recently I went through all the stored sms-es, in particularly those sent by Hub. Then I recall the past and our process; things don't come by easy. Sometimes it's good to remind ourselves and not to take things for granted.

feeling very bored

2009-06-08T03:43:00.001+08:00

I’m feeling very bored right now! Feel a little hungry, but it’s too late for supper. Hit the TV remote from Channel 28 to 71, but the shows are just as boring as me :( I can’t get to sleep either cos’ I had a headache earlier and slept too much. Online shopping to be under control; paid another S$1K deposit to the bridal shop. TV shopping has exceeded a little this month and it’s only the 8th day. Went blog hopping but only saw old entries the whole day.. Viwawa till sian already. Feeling super humid, being summer now. And lonely cos’ Hub will be away till Saturday. MJ not enough kaki cos’ one by one returned to Singapore. Sigh..

I'm now at Yahoo! auction page again lol..

online shopping again

2009-06-03T04:34:00.002+08:00

Nothing to do.. So did some online shopping again :)

When I said "nothing to do", basically it means "nothing I feel like doing". Cleaning the house is not what I like to do. There's a person in my house who likes to directly and indirectly say I'm not doing a good job AND KEEPS REPEATING HIMSELF. He doesn't know the more he talks about it, the more I abhor doing it. I'm not good at it, neither do I have patience in it. I do it when I feel happy; that explains why I'm not doing it. When I feel happy and satisfied, I'd do a whole lot more. There's a part of him that likes to comment negatively or argue just to irritate me. Then, the other part of him that comes so gently and caring. Maybe he needs more time to realise the cause and effect.

just wants to find fault

2009-06-02T21:24:00.003+08:00

Ok let me reiterate. We were home with a pack of 20-piece Mcnugget; a simple day event. I went to the kitchen to get ketchup and a fork while the male already seated comfortably on the sofa munching away. Well, no big deal. But he just had to occupy half of the sofa with his barang barang and he sits on the other half conveniently. He doesn’t feel the need to make space for yours truly and it’s like What the Fuck?!

“Living together”- it’s either he doesn’t understand the word “living” or the word “together”. And I tell you this is not a one-time incident.

Next, I saw the absorb oil paper which was placed on top of the Mcnuggets. I remove it and put on the table, beside the box. Then he reprimands me, say it’s going to make the table oily. And so, he put it back to the box. I look at the paper, not a trace of oil being absorbed; so freaked out for what. The paper is obstructing my way to the nugget. I could have just push it to one side of the box but I don’t want to. And on purpose, I took it out again and put on the table. Then he says the table is he wiped one.

On some other days, if he’s the one who makes the table dirty, he’ll put off casually and say Never mind, later wipe. He just wants to find fault in me after his tired day at work. Whether or not he wants to admit, I don’t care.

I repeat. It's just a simple day.

Non-edited photos

2009-06-02T04:34:00.005+08:00

These are some of the photos we've chosen which have not been edited yet. I got hold of them because they used our photos to post on their company blog~ I didn't want the pictures to go public yet (i.e. facebook) but decided to share with you guys first ^^

aren’t many new events happening

2009-05-30T21:52:00.001+08:00

My tagboard has gone quiet, maybe because there aren’t many new events happening. Let me recall what I’m up to recently.. My mosquito bites are recovering and most probably gonna leave marks all over my two arms :( I’ve chosen 60 photos out of 300+ and reviewed the edited ones, now waiting for the next review then the designing of the layout and lastly, the printing. The freebies add up to a whole lot; 1 40 inch portrait, 1 rectangular portrait, 1 standing display with 5 pictures, 5 8R photos with beautiful frames, 1 big and 1 small album, 1 20-page mini album, 60 invitation cards, 200 small cards (like name card), 100 postcards, 1 ferries wheel display and 1 battery operated photo cum mirror. It should all be completed by June, pending the MV part because we do not have our baby photos with us now. I’ll bring them here during my trip to SG. I’m planning my trip on end August, together with the training troop. I’ve been gathering gifts for you guys; I hope you miss me as much as I do :) But I say upfront hor! No more gifts on subsequent trips~ Pok liao..

Till then~

absence makes the heart fonder

2009-05-24T03:24:00.001+08:00

Just now was MJ-ing at my house. We had a Macdonald feast during break time~ After MJ, the leftovers McNuggets became my possession -.- I was munching and munching happily but now I realise I can’t finish them! Too many! If Hub was here, we can munch munch together :) He called me many times today. People say absence makes the heart fonder; so true it is! I’ll still miss Mr Irritating if I do not get to see him for the whole day. But hor when he’s right in front of me, I sometimes don’t want to talk to him. Aiyo.. Bicker and bicker. 可爱的小两口.

the itchiness is unbearable

2009-05-22T17:06:00.001+08:00

Santa Claus was here! I woke up today and found extra pocket money on my dressing table :) I was kind of broke after I returned from Taipei. Hub was feeling generous. Maybe because he see me too ke lian? Haha.. Thank you Baby! After my 13yao that day, I seem to have no luck in MJ. Sian.. Lose and lose~ Hub was very lucky though, but because I’ve lost and broke, he offset my losing with his winnings and then I pay only the balance. In a way, I feel that he is a generous hubby but sometimes he likes to act stingy. Make me confuse so I always say he’s a stingy old man :P

I cried yesterday because the itchiness is unbearable :( That day at 歐莉葉荷 kenna bitten by “small king kong”. Hub says cannot scratch. The more I scratch, the bigger is the swelling and the itchier it gets. It will also bleed if I were to scratch it very hard. Sigh.. It itches so much that I can’t get to sleep. I woke up last night and cried.. So xinku. Today just went to the skin doctor. Hope I’ll recover fast, at least let the itchiness go away~

Hub is away again, this time for 2 nights. I’m missing him already.

2009-05-21T05:08:00.002+08:00

Sometimes,I feel that I don't know how to communicate with him. He ownself decide what is right or wrong, what is important or not, what is urgent and what's not. I wonder why sometimes he can't take my advice and ended up with me telling him "I told you so." My "Can you cut down on smoking?" is always replied with "Okok I know." but not "Okok I WILL." Or certain things he deemed not important will be "Okok tomorrow." but everyday has a tomorrow you see. And on one occasion when I was on the line talking to the bridal shop personnel, he demanded I hang up immediately to help him with something he consider urgent. Well, I shall not go on telling what he did when I chose to continue my conversation instead. I had my reasons and he had to make me spell them in the harsh way.

I have my own set of thinking and I'm good at reasoning. Pls know your wife.

wedding shoot day two

2009-05-20T21:43:00.000+08:00

I'm supposed to talk about my photo shooting day 2. So.. Let me start on it.

Our main shooting place was 歐莉葉荷, a place with restaurant and lodging. Admission fee is NT100 per person, additional NT2,000 for taking wedding photos there. I heard that lodging is more than NT10,000 per night, super expensive. But the interior design is awesome with a very Eurasian style. When we stepped into the restaurant, we were welcomed by...

These!

Our dining table..

And then, this part is specially dedicated to my glutton sister =D

The food is yummy! Nah.. I lied. It's so-so and not worth the money!

The exterior (partial).

Some self taken shots~

was glaring at him.

him. him.

me. me.

I was thinking how did I manage to smile and pose exactly the same in the 2 pictures! Haha!

me me me me.

the Mr Irritating.

Up till here, we are both shag out but have to admit that we enjoyed our photo shooting today. Had a fun time with the photographer, assistants and makeup artist :)

Hello I'm back! In the midst of updating~

F irritating

2009-05-14T03:45:00.000+08:00

Some people just don’t know he’s F irritating. At the first place, no one forces him to play MJ. I don’t understand why he has to yawn so loudly and keep making comments implying that he wants the game to finish faster. Keep looking at the clock, trying to let everybody know it’s very late and that we should call it a day. Doing stupid actions which are not the least funny. I don’t know why he has to do that. Even if he’s really very tired, I don’t see the need to yawn so loudly and sarcastically. And if he’s only trying to be funny, I think he seriously needs to try harder. You know what’s the most irritating part? He doesn’t know when to stop. I kept mum for umpteen times (on different days) cos’ I thought maybe he’s really shag out from daytime work. But the yawning happens too often and too deliberate. Feel like slapping him.

Day 1 - 5

2009-05-13T15:33:00.008+08:00

I did some energy replenishment today, so I didn’t join Hub and his family out to Taichung. Day 1 (Saturday) was a 7 hours car ride to fetch them at the airport and back to our home. After dinner we went to the night market near our home and this time round, Hub and me each won a soft toy in a game on our 1st attempt! It adds up to NT200 for 1 big Mickey and Minnie!

Day 2 we went to Taichung largest shopping centre and then to the largest night market there. Whole 10 hours of shopping! I really admire the guys’ patience. We hopped from shop to shop, bargained for cheaper price and had the guys carry our loot aftermath :) It was a crazy time at the Taichung night market. Things are generally cheap and a variety to choose from. There are many streets and corners to shop but we only manage to finish one lane.

Day 3 to the theme park and KTV at night. The pictures are with my brother-in-law. We had BBQ cum steamboat for dinner and I nearly choked on the beef :( It was a terrible experience. I think it scare the hell out Hub but he just refuse to admit -.-

Day 4 was a homely day. I accompanied Caiyun (brother-in-law’s girlfriend) to get her nails done. She saw my nails and kept saying “very nice!”. Hub also say nice. Mahjong kaki also say nice. Even the shop assistant at Taichung night market asked me where I did it *grins* I’m so in love with my nails :P Afterwhich, we went to the wet market and bought the ingredients for dinner. Caiyun and me cooked dinner for the guys and mother-in-law. The spicy clams dish was a hit! They love the gravy very much. And for me, I learnt from Caiyun how to cook soup with pork ribs. Her soup was yummy~ Then after dinner, Hub did all the washing. I’m so surprised cos he usually runs away from the chore! Aftermath, we played Wii Fit for a while and then mahjong.

Day 5, rest day~ Looking forward to go Taipei on Friday with my new shoes, bag and dresses!!

legs breaking from shopping

2009-05-11T02:21:00.002+08:00

OH MY GOODNESS, MY LEGS ARE BREAKING. 10 HOURS OF SHOPPING!! I WANTED TO TAKE PICTURES OF MY SHOPPING LOOT BUT I SERIOUSLY LACK OF ENERGY TO DO IT :( 4 PAIRS OF SHOES, 2 BAGS, 1 PAIR OF SUNGLASSES AND BIKINI. TMR TO THE THEME PARK~

Living together is a challenge

2009-05-07T16:52:00.002+08:00

Living together is a challenge. Sometimes, you’ll just have to act blind. There’s a lot of “Why you do this?!” or “Why didn’t you do that?!” which is an exclamation rather than a question. BUT! We still love each other a hell lot :)

I hu 13 yao!!!!

2009-05-07T02:46:00.005+08:00

I hu 13 yao!!!! Omg... The feeling is damn shiok! I was practically sweating when "listen" already. My heart pounding like dunno what. Was calling birdie and Hub discard it haha! To make things even better, I took home NT4,100 winnings and that covers my last month's over spending. *Smirk* Hub no win no lose. Heng.. If win his money, it's as good as no win. OOOOooo.. Mother-in-law coming over this Saturday. We got to clean and tidy our house. OOOOooo.. 3am. Got to sleep.

2009-05-03T18:42:00.014+08:00

My Preparation..

My Handsome...

I didn't want to make him feel proud. But he looked just like a prince charming yesterday with his suit! And some MAN posing.. I almost salivate~ Then today, he's back to the irritating self grrr.. Lol..

couple t-shirt

2009-05-03T18:12:00.000+08:00

Normally for couple tees, the female T-shirt is just a smaller version of the men's. When browsing through the Yahoo auction, I chanced upon one with off-shoulder and has my our favourite colour black!! When placing the order, I had a hard time deciding whether to take M size or L size for Hub. Then I realise that I need a measuring tape to do my online shopping. Got Hub to buy me a measuring tape and I measured his closet T-shirt when he's not around hehe.. I love this bery muchie~ Hubby, hope you like it too. I love you :)

long tiring day

2009-05-02T23:10:00.003+08:00

I had a long tiring day. Almost cramp from all the posing and I think my body is aching :( Under the scorching sun and breezy wind, the photographer made us look at the direction of the sun and smile~ It's a mission impossible, even for just 3 sec. The photographer had to make us on a standby pose and smile, then at a count of 3 to open our eyes. He's trying to capture that 1 sec. I tried my best but still cannot make it. Even with the mosquitoes on the face and crawling all over my 2 hands, or the small white crabs crawling on the wet soil just in front of me, I still can bear it. But the sun.. really cannot.. My eyes tearing as a result. The sceneries are beautiful though, especially the seaside where we caught the sunset and windy high tide. I hope the photos turn out nice~

SKII

2009-04-29T19:23:00.002+08:00

I spent again :(

MOMO BB Cream

2009-04-26T18:18:00.018+08:00

Yay!! The seller gave in to my request; DISCOUNT!! Cheap cheap cheap! Less than S$20 per dress :)

Next...

韓國清透出水防曬美白BB霜-美人必備組
(click here for product description)

Taiwanese and Korean are so crazy over BB Cream. BB = Blemish Balm. New BB Cream now protects our skin from the sun, cater for summer. It also helps in whitening, moisturizing, anti-aging etc etc. Just look at the components of this BB Cream I've bought!!

Titanium Dioxide Ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate／Isoamyl p-methoxycinnamate／Arbutin ／Macadamia ternifolia ／Simmondsia Chinensis Seed Oil ／Zinc Oxide ／Panthenol ／Tocopheryl Acetate ／Adenosine／Portulaca oleracea／
Palmitoyl oligopeptideAcetyl Hexapeptide-8／Hydrolyzed
collagen／Sodium Hyaluronate／Bisabolol
／Hydrolyzed soy protein／Aloe Barbadensis／Hydrolyzed Algin／Zinc Sulfate

LOL.. No idea what are they.. But can take one tube to try, if not suitable can refund within 10 days. It's only about NT127 per tube, which is less than S$6. Oh, I refunded the Cover Queen cosmetics cos' it's causing me pimples and the makeup wear off very fast. Just like the feedback online, the colour is kind of dark. Disappointing..

Recently I've bought this too. Not bad not bad. Though the effect is not magical, can see my skin tone improving. I'll continue using it.

Actually there are so many of those facial products and cosmetics. And with all those marketing gimmicks, it's difficult to determine whether they are good or not unless you try it. So have to be like a guinea pig, try on ownself to know if it’s good and whether it's suitable for you. But I believe these are worthy investments for women, even for those MARRIED ones haha.. I don’t want so young be O Ba Sang leh.

So far, the products I'm very pleased with are:-

Shu Uemura Ultimate Expression Mascara (create thick eyelash)
Inuovi Litebase
Inuovi Facefix UV SPF20
Inuovi Colours D27 Eye Shadow (long lasting, glittering)
Inuovi Shadow Blender Brush
Inuovi Angled Smudger Brush
MAC Eyebrow Pencil (self-propelling, self-sharpening)
VPAC Black Mask (tear off small acne effectively)
Taiwan Q10 Mask (moisturizing, refreshing)

And the products I will never touch again:-

Mac Compact 2-Way Foundation (block pores, cause acne)
Mac Blusher (cause acne each time I apply)
Cell Alive Eye Mask (keep slipping, doesn't improve dark rings at all)
Cover Queen Foundation & Compact Powder (as mentioned above)

I started late with makeup, buying facial products and watching my shape cos’ my Mum wasn’t that into dolling herself up. So the other time I was telling Hub that I’ll teach my daughter (if I had one) how to maintain herself in good condition from young.

I've received the Metabo Coffee le; it tastes yucky. But ever since I start drinking daily, I fart more often lol.. Do business more often. Hmmm.. Weight no change. K la.. At least it helps constipation, not so bad. Afterall, it has past 9 days only.

As you can see, this month is all about shopping. Few months back is all about cooking. Next month will be the photo shooting and in-laws visiting. Speaking of in-laws visiting, Hub and I held our discussion last week over coffee at a cafe. We ended up shouting at each other cos' we can't decide where to bring them to. Hub says this and I'll say "BUT HOR..." So he pek cek and said, "Don't keep giving me problems la! Tell me the solution." Wah. I felt like slapping him, serious. Discussion is where we gather our inputs and analyze the feasibility. Don't know why he had to get so worked up. So, I slammed the tour book on the table. ANGRY.

Anyway, time to cease shopping.. For a while hehe..

online shopping again

2009-04-25T18:02:00.002+08:00

Another one.. Gonna bargain for some discount :P

shopping and online shopping

2009-04-23T00:33:00.009+08:00

I've ordered one white & one black dress (the first picture). Still considering taking the other two also.. And dunno whether to take the white or black. Dilemma! They are from the same seller. Among hundreds of sellers on Yahoo auction, I kinda like the dresses from this particular seller. Shall see the quality of the dresses that I have ordered before making a decision. They are scheduled to reach tomorrow :)

Hub says, "Don't be addicted to online shopping hor! Remember we still have to save money." Hubby, maybe you can see it in another light. This means less window shopping with you mah. Heh heh..

It's a crazy shopping month lol.. I've bought new bras, heels, dresses, cosmetics, facial products, slimming coffee etc etc. I also bought a new white heels (not online) for the bridal shooting. It has white lacy ribbons on the back of the heels.

Very sweet!!

some reviews

2009-04-15T08:55:00.018+08:00

Photo taking is just 2 weeks away. Now preparing myself to be in good condition for the actual day. Late sleepers might have noticed that I haven't been online late at night. And I have been applying body shaping cream everyday, Wii exercise every other day, putting on face mask and eye mask every 2 or 3 days. This is the joy of being a housewife. No busy work schedule nor mugging for exams :)

Ok here are some intial reviews as promised.

::Sexy Look 深层魔塑三阶段纤体紧实霜::

When applying, there's a liquid coming out just like the demonstration on TV. But I suspect it's the ingredient inside the cream that creates such an effect. Thus I went to search in Yahoo and found out that there's really an ingredient in it that will become watery after being exposed to air. In this sense, I'm quite disappointed in the way they advertise it. Anyway, I apply it on my thigh. The fat lines became less obvious and I can feel the fats become slightly tighter after 3 times of application. This product is more of an aid to tighten fats rather than cutting down the fats. I would say it’s still a relatively good product. Although skin will feel sticky after application, the cream will fully absorb after a while and skin will feel fresh and nice to touch.

::VPAC 狂銷第一毛孔粉刺清潔涼感黑面膜終極版::

Well.. I have not much comment for this cos' recently my acne problem is minimal. Both Hub and me have tried it. When applying, face feels very cooling but the liquid has got one kind of smell which is not very pleasant. After taking off the black mask, we can see tiny tiny white things sticked on it. I didn't monitor whether it really clears pores and acne cos' my skin is pretty clean and acne-free now. That's all haha.. Can try using la.. It's cheap. I've got 7 bottles (unopened) and I want to give away some. Let me know if you want, I'll bring back on my next trip :)

::Cell Alive 揮別熊貓眼亮白集中EGF晶凍眼膜::

It's not like what they advertise - can stick on and won't slip. It's very watery, that's why it keeps slipping down. Very irritating. Even as I'm lying down, the mask kept shifting. So far no visible improvement on my dark circles. I shall continue using it until end of this week. If still no improvement, I'm going to return it and take back my money.

I bought this today. 女人我最大 Kevin recommend de. Good coverage (yet not thick), water proof and protects the skin from the sun. It's not only a makeup but also consists of vitamin this and that for good skin. It has a nice packaging too. I can't resist TV shopping channels!! If Lynn was here, she will have a happy time shopping and shopping :P But there's one problem about buying foundation without trying the actual product - The skin tone. They provide a choice of fair / dark colour. So I guess I belong to the latter. I hope the dark colour isn't too dark.

Photos for bridal gown

2009-04-11T01:40:00.006+08:00

Some photos for today's event! I didn't know it's so tiring to change in & out of more than 10 bridal gowns. I was initially hopping around feeling excited. Until the 8th or 9th outfit, I start to feel restless le. I ended up choosing total of 9 gowns; 4 white, 1 grey, 1 blue, 1 purple and 2 black. I like the first one most, very demure. As for the long black one, it is special and daring; It covers only the vital parts and I feel so naked in it >.< But still, I took the shop assistant's suggestion cos' taking wedding photos is a once in a life time thing :)

death of ah sang

2009-04-09T09:13:00.004+08:00

Ah Sang died of cancer on 6th April, being 34 years old. I love her song《叶子》; it's very touching. She has a nice voice and she's still so young! What a shocking news..

slimming

2009-04-08T02:43:00.009+08:00

I just came back from my night shift! Mahjong is my part time job apart from being a housewife haha.. Actually quite sleepy now but I have my Q10 mask on so I use this time to blog. I shall continue from yesterday.

I had a breakout during winter due to the cold weather. My skin was too dry and there are signs of peeling. And because of that, my skin can’t absorb whatever facial products I use. Make up became flaky. I was not able to do thorough cleansing cos’ apparently my skin is unable to absorb the cleanser, plus I seldom drink water. As a result, pimples keep popping and popping. It’s like finally my acne problem has gone after 2 years of facial in Singapore, spending more than S$5,000 on facial packages and products.

Thank goodness I’m fine now. Apart from normal facial, drinking lots of water is very important. Now that my skin condition has improved, I’m ready to venture into ways to make it even better. Thanks to the Q10 mask, my face has become brighter, not that dull and “black” anymore :) Gosh.. I sound like doing an advertisement.

Recently, I’m weight conscious. Or I should say.. Fat conscious. My BMI is ok, but the unwanted fats on my body make me want to faint. The elephant thighs are my main concern. It’s bothering me. Furthermore, I’m taking my wedding shoot next month. I just realised days ago that the fats between my arm and chest area have loosen. It looks so unglam, especially if I wear a tube.

Here are some tips to solve flabby arms:
(click on picture to enlarge)

I bought the Sexy Look 深层魔塑三阶段纤体紧实霜. Aisa is the spokesperson, but that’s not the reason I bought it lah. The advertiser demonstrated on the TV by applying it on the models’ hand / thigh and then massage a bit. Using the absorb oil paper, they show that the oil fats come out after application. That’s why I decided to give it a try. 6 bottles (200ml each) at NT1,260.

Another Slimming Product..

Metabo Coffee

(click here for product description)

This one is more expensive. I wanted to buy this but it’s currently out of stock. 4 boxes (15 packs each) and free 12 packs at NT3,360. This product is from Japan, made from quality Brazilian coffee beans and contains an additional measure of the coffee extract chlorogenic acid. Chlorogenic acid has been shown to be effective for weight loss.

Do you know that Green Coffee promotes weight loss? Green Coffee is coffee made out from green, unroasted coffee beans. There are two key types of compounds in unroasted coffee beans. The first is caffeine. The second is chlorogenic acid and its related compounds. Scientists believe that caffeine releases fatty acids from fat stored in the body. The chlorogenic acid and its related compounds then, according to the researchers, help the liver to process these fatty acids more efficiently. Experiments are carried out and there are reports from BioMed Central (BMC) and Discovery Channel News. The metabo coffee make use of this concept.

Besides buying slimming products, I have been doing yoga with the aid of Wii Fit. An extra tip: After meals, try to stand for 15 – 20 minutes. If you eat full full and sit down, the fats will go down to your waist, hip, thigh. Eat food that helps in digestion. Basically the more you shit, the slimmer you get. A normal person will release 4 - 5kg (if i remember correctly from the TV program) of waste per week. If the waste stays in your body i.e. constipation, it makes you heavier by 4 - 5kg.

After I’ve tried out the new products, I’ll feedback to you guys k? If there’s anything you want, I can buy back to Singapore on my next trip. I hope the coffee stock comes in fast! I feel as though I’m typing a report on slimming haha.. Well, this is what I'm into now and I want to share what I've learnt. I’m determined to slim down!!

online shopping

2009-04-06T23:24:00.012+08:00

One good thing about Taiwan is that they have a wide selection of facial, slimming, hair care and health care products. And also cosmetics.. apparels.. accessories.. They have everything. Another good thing is that the electronics here are very cheap. Hub just bought a 32” LCD TV at only NT14,400. But we really have to control our spending. Both of us are big spenders though what we spent on is different.

Back to the facial products. The good news is that there’s a lot of variety. The bad news is there’s no guarantee that it is effective. I guess we just have to try out; there’s no other way to know if the product works for your skin unless you try it. I’ve tried the Q10 mask and I love it! My skin feels different after one application. There is collagen in it. What I wanted to buy initially was the Q10 collagen mask but Hub bought the wrong one. I heard that Q10 collagen mask is very good for our skin. It helps to improve skin elasticity and have anti- oxidized function. It also prevents anti-aging and aides cell regeneration. A friend of Hub’s colleague got him to buy 10 boxes and send back to Singapore. My beautician in Jean Yip (back in Singapore) once told me collagen is very good for skin. I’m going to buy it this weekend.

Q10活力緊緻修護面膜 – the one I bought

Q10 Collagen

These are the other 2 products I bought online, haven’t received yet.

There was a demonstration on TV for the black mask, a programme that last about half an hour. The black mask is meant to clean your pores thoroughly, at the same time remove acne. The result is Wow. The model apply the black cream on her face and after a while it hardens and become like a.. Scotch tape (that’s my own description). After the model tear off the mask, you can see those dirty things stick on the “scotch tape”. You might wish to refer to the website for the pictures.

The advertiser also mentioned that some people will feel itchiness on the face now and then, though they already did their proper cleansing. And according to them, that’s because there are small worms (very small) crawling in the pores. There can have 4 to 5 worms in each pore, depending on skin condition. I hope there isn’t worm crawling on my face. Ewws…. My face is not itchy.. no no no~~

As for the eye mask, there is only a before and after picture to prove. Within 14 days the dark circles will vanish, they promised. It's only NT8.25 per pair, so just buy and try.

I must not be addicted to online shopping. I must not be addicted to online shopping. I must not be addicted to online shopping. I must not be addicted to online shopping. I must not be addicted to online shopping.

Haha. I love online shopping!! Shop at a click. By the way, I'm currently into 蜡笔小新 show on youtube LOL! I remember there's someone else who likes to watch 蜡笔小新 too. Was it Ruiqin?

P.S. A million thanks to Kua and Mavis. I've read your blog :)

I miss home

2009-04-05T03:00:00.005+08:00

As I gazed upon the sky, I miss home. Indeed life here is less stressful. But at the end of the day when I feel lonely, I would still feel like going home. Not that I don’t understand Hub is all drained out from working. It’s just that I wish I had the freedom to go out on my own with my close ones, don’t have to depend all on Hub’s schedule. Hub is my only companion here..

I’m also thinking how nice it would be if my girls were here to accompany me to try out my gowns. It feels different not to have them on such an occasion. It would be fun with them around, to give me ideas and true opinions, to judge if I look nice in that or what else to go along. Hub can never replace their roles as girls understand girls better! And if one of you can join me for photo taking, I can have more photos to my collection. Our package consist of 50 photos and each additional photo will cost us NT1,000, which is roughly S$50. We are prepared to choose 60 to 80 photos but I wish to have more if only they are less costly. There's no one here who is friend enough to do us this favour :( It would be awkward to ask someone who is not very close to us.

I just watched Bride Wars online. A female show, I would say. It features two best friends fighting over a wedding venue cos' they are married on the same day. They reconciled in the end. It's a pretty nice show, worth watching (http://www.youku.com). I guess I have to keep myself occupied with movies or dramas for another 6 days. Poor Hub got to work for consecutive two weeks.

Aren’t we loving?

2009-04-03T03:04:00.002+08:00

Hub has been too engrossed in his work and did not participate in my Bridal homework. I have been pestering him for some opinions and demand him to take part in the preparation, since Sunday. He hasn’t been showing visible effort and so, our conversation today..

Wifey: Hello 莫不关心!
Hub: Hello 放个臭屁!

放个臭屁?! Zzz.. but it sounds funny haha! Aren’t we loving ^^

Don't mess with Women

2009-04-02T14:32:00.003+08:00

Bottle of Wine

(Women will LOVE this one!)

A woman and a man are involved in a car accident on a snowy, cold Monday morning; it's a bad one. Both of their cars are totally demolished, but amazingly neither of them is hurt. God works in mysterious ways. After they crawl out of their cars, the man is yelling about women drivers. The woman says, 'So, you're a man. That's interesting. I'm a woman. Wow, just look at our cars! There's nothing left, but we're unhurt. This must be a sign from God that we should be friends and live in peace for the rest of our days.'

Flattered, the man replies, 'Oh yes, I agree completely, this must be a sign from God! But you're still at fault...women shouldn't be allowed to drive..'

The woman continues, 'And look at this, here's another miracle. My car is completely demolished but this bottle of wine didn't break. Surely God wants us to drink this wine and celebrate our good fortune.'

She hands the bottle to the man. The man nods his head in agreement, opens it and drinks half the bottle and then hands it back to the woman.
The woman takes the bottle, puts the cap back on and hands it back to the man.
The man asks, 'Aren't you having any?'
The woman replies, 'No. I think I'll just wait for the police.'

MORAL OF THE STORY:

Don't mess with Women!!

random thoughts

2009-04-02T04:04:00.004+08:00

I slept at 11pm and woke up at 3am. Then, I walked in the dark and to the kitchen for supper. Each time I walk around the house in the dark, I fear I might step on the lizard unknowingly. It would be gross. I saw the lizard crawling only once, a very small one. Why do house have to have lizards anyway?

Hub’s working the whole week, including Saturday and Sunday. Guess I would be stuck at home this week. Went for Mahjong just now (yesterday) and came home with some thoughts. All these months here, my winnings are significant. On certain days, lady luck decides to pull me down but I know we take turns to lose. It’s for the fun of the game ultimately. I start to understand why Hub’s pushing away Mahjong. Some people are too money minded. Back in Singapore with our friends, we enjoyed our game. Friends became closer friends. Well, just some random thoughts.

Blog hopping has become one of my hobby and also the most convenient way to know what my friends are up to, are they happy or not. My DBS ex-colleague, Pamela, is getting married in few months time. To think that it was just last year we sat side by side, shared our relationship problems. Like me, she has been patient and forgiving to her guy. I really feel happy for her happy ending. Her efforts paid off and I believe her guy has learnt to treasure her after so long. 8 years I think? Pamela is one of those who encourage me to give my love another chance, which is what led to my today :)

Listening to Jolin’s new album. I want KTV!

I’m a perfectionist

2009-04-01T03:23:00.007+08:00

These few days, all in my mind is about the bridal photo taking. Decide on the themes, gown designs, hairstyles, accessories, heels and makeups.. Observe people's expressions and poses on the pictures.. Schedule the discussion date and photo taking dates. Pen down my shopping list.. Read on "十個拍前完美準備" - Have sufficient sleep, drink more water, go for facial, put on facial mask at home, do not wear clothes which require slip on from the head so that it won’t mess up the makeup and hairdo when changing, etc etc.. There are so many things! It’s REALLY not an easy task. I did more homework (and is still doing) so that I’ll be able to convey exactly what I want when we visit the bridal boutique next week. After the photo taking, still need to make several trips down to the boutique to choose pictures, view pictures after editing, pick on the album design, select pictures to enlarge and pictures to display on the various ornaments, vet the photo designs and MV.. At least 10 trips. THAT'S A LOT! I want to make sure everything goes well and I want the wedding album to be not just a wedding album but MY wedding album. In short, a perfectionist.

Sigh.. I always have nightmares when I think too much during the day. I slept, but awaken upon a nightmare :( Anyway, here are some samples from my mahjong kaki's house, from the same bridal boutique. We'll be entitled the same things too. Aren't they pretty?

I was playing Wii after dinner, doing the yoga and some other exercises. According to the system, my BMI is almost 偏瘦 and Hub's is close to 偏胖 wahahahaha!! Hub is becoming a fatty =X Both of us still in the normal range, but due to my lack of exercise, the stupid Wii says my body age is 33!! Zzz.. Hub's body age is 23. So.. he's laughing his lungs out when he saw the big 33. Say I'm auntie -.- Shall watch my diet and try to firm up my body!

I miss Singapore food.. Cha kway tiao, sting ray, frog leg porridge, long john silver and most of all, fried hokkien mee. I miss being surrounded by my love ones and chit chat non stop. I miss the freedom in travelling where public transport is easily available and the place is familiar being my home ground. I miss.. But I'll miss Hub if he's not by my side.

For Hub:

Each time we end a quarrel, I hope neither of us bears a grudge. If someday our lovey dovey wears off, I hope we can rekindle it everytime. If I haven’t been understanding enough, I hope you can forgive me. If I have been selfish, I'm sorry.

imagine me without you

2009-03-31T09:13:00.001+08:00

As long as stars shine down from heaven
And the rivers run into the sea
'Til the end of time, forever
You're the only love I'll need
In my life, you're all that matters
In my eyes, the only truth I see
When my hopes and dreams have shattered
You're the one that's there for me

When I found you I was blessed
And I will never leave you
I need you

Chorus:
Imagine me without you
I'd be lost and so confused
I wouldn't last a day
I'd be afraid without you there to see me through
Imagine me without you
Lord, you know it's just impossible
Because of you
It's all brand new
My life is now worth while
I can't imagine me without you

Verse 2:
When you caught me I was falling
Your love lifted me back on my feet
It was like you heard my calling
And you rushed to set me free

When I found you I was blessed
And I will never leave you
I need you

Chorus

When I found you I was blessed
And I will never leave you
I need you

Chorus

I can't imagine me without you

wedding album theme

2009-03-30T06:05:00.006+08:00

The DREAMY theme..

The ARTISTIC theme..

The SEXY theme..

Above all, I'm super MESMERIZED by THISssss!!!!

And this hairdo is GORGEOUS.

This is more or less the kind of wedding album I have in mind. Pending hub's vetting and I'm going to source for more ideas. Me and Hub both agreed that cute shots e.g. taken with teddy bears are No-Nos. I've seen the samples at the bridal shop and my Mahjong kaki patronized them before. The result is really very stunning. Girls, do me a favour will you? If you come across any stunning bridal shot, send me the link or email me the photo can? Greatly appreciate. It's my another big thing other than my ROM and the decision to come Taiwan. Of course there are other major events i.e. customary wedding, own house in SG, having kids.. but that's later lah.. haha..

Upcoming 2 weeks

2009-03-28T20:28:00.007+08:00

As you can see, there are 2 big events coming, i.e. in-laws' visit and bridal shot in May. We went to the bridal shop yesterday and bargained for lots and lots of beautiful free gifts and I'm totally excited about the whole thing! I shall recoup my energy first, after my 11 hours of mahjong session till this morning 6a.m. My winning of NT4,200 went to Wii. You should see how Baby splurge on the gadget, equivalent to me going to LV shop. Such a pity that my wedding album will not be ready till June, else I'll be able to show you guys when I go back in May. That is IF his course is confirmed. Hopefully yes, cos' I miss the people and food in Singapore! I'm intending on a 2 - 3 weeks stay. Pray hard for me k?

Going to play my Wii now. Ciaos!
