Happy Birthday to Moi!!! Wawawa!! ;D

:)

This is me...!
Always 19... always 22.....

Always someone's baby gal....
Oh yes I would really like to be....

I was greedy...
Made 3 wishes....
But no can tell!

Yep... though the pics not too good quality,
can u see the skyline view behind me??

Guess where was I????

:)

This French food place lar.
Best unobstructed view of SIN!!

Courtesy of this dude....

All nicely organised n timed by him lei...
But I foiled it (kinda) by being late......
as usual...

When do u people know me to be on time other than for Werk? hahaha~ ;p

- The flowers came when I still at home... (running late with a towel round my hair)... when I supposed to b safely in a cab down to meet him....

- The skyline table reservation taken up by someone else cos supposed to b there by 1915hrs but I only made it to Boat Quay at 1930... ;( bleah~

- The movie tickets, for Paris, Jetaime wasted cos we were late starting dinner mah...

Aiyoh...

I'm sorry Sweetie!!!
I'm a wreck when it comes to handling surprises n occasions!!

And so he remained patient w me....
And ravaged the mango mousse... hee*

Okie... I can't fault him for not lovin' me enough ready....
It's uncharacteristic of him to not get annoyed w me in such circumstances... ;p

eeps~

Cheers!

Some really good wine chosen by Ray...

Dun play play hor...
he used to be one of those wine maestro in restaurants who chooses which wine for the menu n wat year n watever blah blah wine talk n took part in Wine Sommelier competition n won awards b4 hor....
*pimping my boy*

I think I look like a doll here...
hee* not shy

So... while the food at Jaan is nothing to rave bout... (though very much over priced!! Could have bought a Sony psp n got back change!!! ;( )...

... Ambience was good....
... View was excellent!

...Service was thoughtful! (they remembered our request to shift us to a window seat when one was available...)

..... But at the same time questionable.. (they forgot an order for more sparkling h20... n the funniest thing was that.... they gave us a comment card... which was already filled in.. by AnotheR guest!! -_____-") kinda embarrassing if u ask me! ;p

*yar dodo stop being bitchy*

heee!

In conclusion... go there only if u have got some special occasion....
highly recommended for guys who wanna propose to their girl friends..
pop a bottle of bubbly followed by the question....

If yr girl's idea of romance is anywhere near as ole fashioned as mine....
chances r that she might just burst into happy tears n say yes....
not to mention she might jus reward you with a nice n glorious *ahem* .

;D

Once again....

Happy Birthday to Moi!!! WaWAwawAWAwaawWaa!!

The Wunderful World of Macs..

Pls click on pic to enlarge!!!

Millions n millions of cool Mac widgets for free download!!!!
iLyrics (Top right corner) actually able to find n display the lyrics of watever is playing on yr iTunes then.... Cool hor!

Got some free SMS sending thingy... though have yet to try!

Got bo-liao tamagotchi thingys for the bored n games like Hangman n Froggster n Pac Man neh!!!

Yeah... I'm on leave from today on so I can pretty much waste time this way if I want.
bleah~ ;p

Go buy a Mac n have fun!!! ;D

Sometimes all u need is a Smiley... :)

Smiley made up of Nougats...
Made w love to surprise a special someone...

It's strange how sometimes things just seem to change overnight...
They say u can't change a person in a relationship..
That somehow a leopard can never change its spots....
That's all true...

If it were u... will u be willing to take that chance n put yr heart on the line again n again?

Whichever it is... I will always be me....
Sweet canoodly, always willing to do something Xtra, loving, caring, crazy, temperamental n reasonably(or so I wld like to think o_0) demanding me.
heh heh~ ;p

I really dunno wat's keeping the Love up inside me.... but at the moment, it's still there lar. >.<

Alrightey... Am turning 26 by midnite morrow.... M not ready!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
SOB~* :(

I'm always 22 OKIE!!! n I always feel 22!!!
And I will Act n plAy like m 22!!!!

Too bad I can't always look 22.. though I try my best!

My wish... my wish when I get my cake is that I find a way to be Forever 22.... never turning a year older Eva!!!

N n n... to be happy... everyday... every minute....
N n n.. to be able to love n pamper... myself... pple close to me.... like have been doing...
N finally... to know wat I want in my life by the end of the year...
(someone somewhere pls give me a sign...) ;D
.....................................................................................

While waiting for Shereen's photo CD for me...
Here's a pic of the Stones at Stonehenge I took with my mobile....

Mandopop, Cantopop, all that Jazz... n my early Bday

People close to me know that I dun sing karaoke....
Dun listen to 93.3FM... (not since my Aaron Kwok fanatical days were over since 12)
N hardly watch TV anymore.... So i dunno who r the newest TVB stars or watever....

But Rach dragged me to Dragonfly on Thursday....
(Actually not dragged... tot I would go check Powerhouse out n stuff....)
But there she was raving bout William Scorpion's performance n her fren's words "It's like a live Hong kong concert... u need to go to soak in the atmosphere!"
....

>.<
left me pretty reluctant to leave Balaclava (which I ALSO DUN like cos the crowd so blarddeeee old n ugly...)

But all's not lost cos I WAS pretty impressed by the band's performance at Dragonfly that nite!!!!

it was like "WoooHOooo!!"

Esp when u realise that the 50 yr old William Scorpion has a rather old body complete with those lower pecs which r the sexiest part of a man's body (to me lar!); n a navel ring to boot!

On top of that, there were drinks I did not have to pay for....
n I did not have to worry bout driving later in the night!

N n n n n... V. Leow back in Sin!!

Definitely a lousy pic...
But u can so make him out by his keropok hair shape
hahahaha~

Main intention was to intro him to Rach cos they were both based in China...
N both then high flyers n all....
tot they would b interested to talk to each other...

:)

Another reason why I thoroughly enjoyed myself so much that nite was cos....

My baby was there too...

And unlike me... he used to be a Canto Beng.... n he was totally enjoying the band's renditions of track from the Young n Dangerous Soundtracks n all that jazz... heh heh

N when he was singing along to them.... Rach gave me the thumbs-up n said loudly "NOw I like him better!!!"

*giggles*

Final reason why I so enjoyed myself that nite...

Though I felt that the crowd at Dragonfly was a icky mish mash of the likes of BalaXDevilsXCantoXSparks ala lao beng lao lian sort....
Kinda felt that there were lotsa men with their china-looking mistresses as well... eeeks...~

Was that I was serenaded by 2 very cute guys (read: V leow n my boy) in both my left ear n right as they crooned into my ears... ^.^

Yes... I is an impossible attention whore....
N there was something very Young n Dangerous bout being sang to in Cantonese... which i dun understand a word of lor...

muahahahahah~ ;D

Dunno if I would go back there again....
I jus might .... w the right bunch of people n a good ol' bottle of Chivas or Henessy...
*chuckles*
....................................................................................

At Indochine in the afternoon...

Beer at 4pm in the afternoon...
Then I had to go home change cos suppose to go Dragonfly mah!!

Wasted Von never join cos she had to work...

Really... the best nites r the most uexpected ones....
Usually the ones I quite reluctant to go to .. heh heh~

And the good thing bout Holidays is that all yr frenz somehow are back in town....
And people all wanna meet up n gather...

Like Chu 3, (third day of the CNY) we all went to Corine n Adi's house.....
For a game of mahjong... n makan....

And when i got there bearing a pot of chicken curry w 3 baguettes hanging of my shoulders n rang the bell...
The Dome Dearies surprised me with an early birthday cake!!!!

I was like..... ;O

So sweet rite them!! Photos of cake n me are eternally trapped in Adi's camera.... ;D

They start playing liao...

Corine's brand new mahjong table n mahjong set...
Adi had a piece of paper translating english 1,2,3 to the chinese characters on the tiles.. heh heh. cute

The boyfren took over a Von left for another night of debauchery at MOS...

REally... I can't play mahjong..... :(
And I tried to learn sitting beside him...
But there were jus toooooo many rules n regulations which I'm not too interested in...

Rach said I can never be the Tai Tai I so wanna be liao... :(((( SobS!~

But Rach I can be the modern kind of Tai tai right!?!?!?
The go-yoga-n-gym n toddler-playgroups n volunteer kind!??? ;D

We Lou hei!!!!

REady??? Get set??

Aiyah... the Loy n the Von left while they playing mahjong n we forgot to take the lou hei out earlier.......

Rach gets a shot of my new chopstix stance...

Weeee heeee!!
"Nian nian you yu!! Zhao sheng gui zi!! $$$$ Bu bu gao sheng!!!"


They say suppose to say these good things when lou-ing wat...
The higher the better!!!

It's really the company...
I usually detest the gingery n artificially coloured radishy stuff of the yearly lou hei...
But this year's one taste particularly good... n i had 2 helpings.... though Co only bought it from NTUC wor....

Lastly... I found Adi's reservist pack in their store room while helping to clean up...
kee kee~

K k I gotta run... gotta go prep for my Perth flight reporting at 2315....
I'm all booked til 4Mar by the Dome Dars n the boy n the family, n a Bkk trip (which is my V day pressie) so birthday treats for me will have to b postponed.. :( hee hee...

Luv ya!

Corine & Adi's Wedding!!!!

So many many photos.. all scattered over so many different cameras...


Seems like Von havent uploaded hers to share... n havent got any outta Adi's cam (which will prob be never also lor..)


So here r mine for the moment...


:)

Haven't been this happy for the longest time man...

Though it's not my day... it's truly one of those days where I laughed the most n hardest...

And also one where I realised that friends are an important part of one's life...


I feel so good to be there for Corine...

And really hope that when it's my turn... I have such a wacky n cooperative bunch of girlfrenz who take time to plan n execute watever to make my Big Day Xtra special...

Happy happy...

Presenting the photos of Adi n Corine's cheena part of their wedding!!

8am at Corine's Sembawang place....

You have no idea what mean feat it is to get people like Von n myself to places at such early hours in the morning...

In fact, Von got there earlier than me wor... all the way from Kallang man...

Me? Battling traffic n unfamiliar roads along Mandai during morning rush hour...

But we made it...
Cos it was pretty important to us somehow too...

Our favourite n oldest frenz getting married lei!!!

Von preparing the eggs n ingredients for the groom n his bros.....

Sugar, salt, sesame oil, vinegar, dark soy sauce, pepper, chilli flakes... blah blah blah....

Look at that silly goofy happy smile on Adi's face...

Awwwwwww.....
It's gotta be good... :)
...................................................
Becos we dun have to go to the boy's side for the tea ceremony, got time for more photo taking...
Stopped at some church at Hougang on the way to their home in Seng Kang...

Bliss... :)
Boy were they having fun together as well...

....
And I caught the bouquet when she tossed it for a photo moment...

Cos no one else wanted it lor... -__-"

Co changed to the 'Kwa' for her tea ceremony to be held back in Sembawang...

weee! :D

After the tea ceremony, we adjoined to their room at Swissotel Merchant Court in Clarke Quay

For shower, n change n more arrangements....

Nic finally joined us!!
She was to be the co-emcee for the nite w Rach!

We lugged the portrait, guest book, n ten thousand other stuff to Peony Jade restaurant across the bridge from the hotel....

Where Corine was having her make up done...

Last min emergencies...
Hollywood Tape anyone!??

Power point minor fuck up...

.............

Eventually bug fixed...


Scripts for the em-cees...

March in music n cues to be arranged w restaurant people...
The schedule for the nite... when march in?? when 2nd march in!?!?
When do we play the sabo??
Shit me n Von suppose to give a short speech!?!?

Wat to say? Cannot say the bad things hor!!

Peony Jade was really a nice cosy setting...
Unlike other cheena restaurants when sometimes u have to split the area w the walk in customers.. this place is intimate enough to b booked wholly for a modest 20 tables at least..

Food really super too!!!!
Compared to hotel's food standard!!
Highly recommended really! :)

Oh my god!! Timmy!!!!
My ex supervisor!!

Originals...
The batch of Domers waaaayyy before the renovation at Wheelock...
Well oiled team who worked the Weekend Madness crowds Dome Wheelock was well known for then...

Even Sakae Sushi's Sat evening queue at the host stand pales to Dome's then...

Seamless teamwork down to the dish washers...
The management din know their Magic Beans then...

And Patricia my Mummy!!
She will nag nag nag but it's allllllll gooodd... :)

Almost cried when I saw her!!
Ahhh the nostalgia...

Our emcee photo whoring on stage...

First March in n the Fantastic Giant Plastic Cake!

I have a leeetle weeesh.....
CAN I HAVE A REAL CAKE FOR MY WEDDING NEXT TIME PLEASE!!!!!! :D

heh heh!

2nd March in n champagne pouring with sparkling Fruit Juice...
Not supposed to have alcohol mah.....
hee hee~

And no pics of our "Grapes" game which were meant to sabo the couple on stage...
Or me n Von chattering nervously on stage cos we were both on stage... :(

Party ended shortly after 2230hrs...
"Ahahaha I remember Pat used to call Timmy 'Peh peh Lim'?!?!"

Adi wanted to start the dinner on time at 8...
But the annoying thing bout chinese wedding dinners is that there will still be annoying piece of shit buggers who dun turn up on time...

n it's usually the older gen of relatives who sabo n make everyone wait...
First course was only served like 8.40pm

Next time mine I'll make sure I start the cocktail reception at 7.30pm n have my guest seated by 8pm.
The late comers can make do with missing out the lobster first course n shark's fin (or watever substitute)... grrrrr...

We lingered for more photo whoring w the bride n groom...

And amongst ourselves lar...
A moment w the boyfren...
(dun ask, it's complicated...)

Loy n her Willy!~
And the Domers ALL gathered back in the hotel room for the night for wine n talk...

On hygiene:
"N the dirtiest uniform of all time award goes to... Dorinn!!"
"Yar... choc sauce on her sleeve, front, back... apron..."

On service:
"wah lan station 1 is the most f-d up one... grrr"
"Remember when they used to serve the rhapsodies in these ridiculously grande glasses......"
"Timmy just told the customer 'SIT!' n the lady din listen? I know after that I can't put him as host liao"
"I hate serving Long Blacks"

On regular customers:
"Neh the ang mo guy who came in every morning at 9am sharp for a dbl esp n Perrier..."
"Whoo.. that Mr Shaw guy who used to give us free tickets for movies?? Yeah ... that one lar... always want the apple pie to be burning hot?!?"
"How bout Mr n Mrs Lim who always had the red wine n roast beef sandwich?? Wah? They still go to Olio at Suntec now!??!"

On love...n scandals:
"Yeah.... they both liked the same chef..."
"Har? that one still married to the ba-pok?"

Nic n gf cosying n chillin'

I laughed til I wanted to cry....
These people actually remembered the quirks I had when I was 19!
As I remembered theirs...

N I realised that fly life will never be this intimate... where u work with people who understand your working style... n everyone work around everyone else's weird varied styles over time...
n come out of it not only w just a working relationship... but a forged friendship over time...

And it's kinda sad... cos when I think bout it...
I never really made new enduring friendships since I started flying close to 3 years liao...
Hmmmm....

Arrrrhhhh!@$#$% ; /

And so marks the happiest day I had since my honeymoon ended....
Where I woke up the next day smiling n still giggling to myself over the funny anecdotes...
And also that warm fuzzy feeling one has when one is feeling sated, happy n contented... :)
Well.. until the next quarrel or mood swing that is! bleah!@ ;p

HOpe to put up more pics soon....*hint hint to Von* faster lei girl..
