My little darling Tiffany!

She's turning 2 on 29-Oct!!! This "crab" dress was bought by us during our trip to Taipei.

Reminiscing at Pierside Kitchen & Bar

This was the place where we had our 1st date, a lunch date with my then-boyfriend Allan. I'm trying to recall now when was it. It was in April...Year 2002, I think. I ordered a King Prawn dish then. I remembered fondly that it was very relaxing there. This time round, we went there for dinner. The atmosphere is abit different, day vs night. Sunny afternoon vs dim lightings during the evening. The King Prawn dish was still there. We sat indoors. As the ceiling was really high, it felt empty at first. Not much patrons yet when we reached there. Surprisingly, the al-fresco dining area was fully booked. So sticked to indoors. After getting used to the spaciousness, the place felt relaxing! Staff were helpful and attentive. Allan with his hen dish and me with my cod fish dish. delicious and healthy meal we had!

Went for a walk around along One Fullerton. Merlion, non-existing Satay club.
I was pretty upset that Baker's inn was no longer there. Instead, there was a Starbucks. But their dessert doesn't look appetizing. So disappointing. Positive thinking: I am trying to diet so no dessert is a good thing! All in all, enjoyable night!

I LOVE NATURE!

For the 1st time after wedding, I woke up early at 7am to exercise. Before that, I usually woke up at 7plus on wkends. But was always exhausted on wkends after wedding and usually wakes up at 9plus. Very lazy indeed. So I tried to sleep early last night. It worked!

Went for a run at Macritchie Reservoir this morning and loved it totally! I LOVE NATURE! Since my trip to Taiwan's National Park, I kept missing the nature but due to the haze and everything, I didn't go out for exercise except for walking my dog. haha... I'm glad I did it today and it kept my spirits up!

Went out with MIL to Orchard to shop in the afternoon. Pic taken at Marks & Spencer:



Yeah yeah! 2 more days of holidays!

Outing with Mum n Sis!

Friday was a half day for my company. So I jio jio my mum out for lunch and movies. On Fri morning, sis msn me where are we going, etc? She thought of taking half day too to join us. I asked her to come along since it's a pretty rare chance that the 3 of us can hang out together... hee...

I enjoyed it alot. Haven't been out with my sister for the longest time! We used to go shopping once in a while in the past while she was younger. That was when she was young and doesn't have any boyfriends.... haha... Now that she's grown-up, it's quite difficult to find shopping time together. But we still do at Northpoint thou.

We went to Sakae sushi at Causeway Point for a late lunch and rushed to Golden Village to catch Jackie Chan's "Rob-B-Hood". The show was hilarious and pretty heart-warming at times. I'd recommend it for you to bring ur parents to! i don't remember when's the last time I had watched a movie with my mum and sister. Maybe when I was a kid... I remembered my mum bringing the 3 of us to watching Flintstones! I guessed that was some 16 years ago. Hmm.. nostalgic hitting on me again. As the Jackie Chan show was funny most of the time, the 3 of us were laughing our hearts' out and I think my sis and I were the laughest in the cinema. haha.... We were sitting at the very last row somemore... provided "stereo" effect. I told myself that I will jio my mum n sis to catch a show next time when there are suitable ones!

Some thoughts

Today is not my day. Decided to go to Kovan Mall after dinner to develop my wedding negatives to soft-copy. Cos it's cheaper there than Parkway Parade. Not wanting to waste time doing this on weekend, I decided to go by myself. BUT Guess What? The ONE & ONLY photo shop in Kovan was closed!!!! F**^K!!! It's their company D&D. Of the 365 days, why today? That works out to a probability of 0.3%. Walked around the Kovan area and I cannot find another photo shop there. Hard to believe. Wanted to buy a snack (Glico Pocky) in Cold Storage. Couldn't find it too. Just bought my Fisherman's friend and left.

Came home wanting to read my papers. Thursday is my favourite cos there's URBAN. Realised I can't find it. Found out from Meena, my eldest BIL has brought it home!!! Shucks!

Was just talking to Allan while typing this blog and he said he will go to petrol kiosk to buy newspaper for me. Woah... that is so sweet of him. hehe... I think he knows i'm quite pissed off liao. I know all these are small things. but when small things accumulate, it exponentially becomes BIG things. I wasn't so mad initially. but after I thought about it, I got fumed up. I will be alright soon.

While driving home just now, I realised something. "Diff before and after marriage." Then I realised 1 thing. that is... now, I don't need to telephone Allan at night for a chat before we sleep liao. maybe that's why I'm more free now. haha.. a bit bo liao right. but it used to be a highlight in the past where we would chat while he drives home after tuition. Then before bed-time, we would talk for a while. No wonder last time like more busy. just a small thought.

Looking forward to tomorrow cos it's a half-day for me! Yeah yeah yeah.... woa haha.... meeting my mum for lunch after work. She must have missed me. She still haven't gotten used to seeing less of me. But I can totally understand. when I put myself in her shoes. so try to visit her during wkends.

Bought myself a Chicken soup for the soul - Living Your Dreams yesterday at PP. Have not started reading yet. tonight? perhaps perhaps perhaps?

KINO....BORDE

After wedding, it seems weird that suddenly you have got nothing to do. I think we were so busy during the past one month before our Big Day that it suddenly seems so weird that I don't know what to do after I reach home each day. Funny yah? haha... I would play with my niece, have my dinner, wash up, read the papers and watch tv. It feels weird. This feeling applies to me only, I think. not to Allan. He still has his RT and tuition.

I really need to go Borders or Kinokuniya to get some books to read. Just went to Nicholas Sparks's website and he's coming up with a new book "Dear John" in 30 Oct! Wonder when will it be available in SG.

Another fav author of mine => Mike Gayle will only be publishing his book in April 2007! His website is cute & quirky! You can really connect to his website. That's the man!

http://www.nicholassparks.com/
http://www.mikegayle.co.uk/

Think that's all for today. I need to go to a bookstore SOON!

p/s: my title is a bit weird cos I'm trying to use my creativity to come up with a not-so-boring aka abstract title. It's actually referring to kinokuniya and borders. =)

Click!

For the 1st time, we watched a movie in our bedroom. It was really shiok! We on the 5.1 channel and as loud as we want to. Feels really great. In the past, we shared the room with my 2nd BIL so can't on too loud.... I can't describe the GREAT feeling. We watched "Click" by Adam Sandler and Kate Beckinsale. It was a touching show where you feel you really gotta cherish your family, the people that matters to you more. Very heart-warming show. Highly recommeneded!

Adam Sandler is a guy who is struggling to be the partner of an architecture firm. Hence, he places his career over his family. With the Universal Remote Control, he fast-forwarded his life to the point when he got the promotion so that he doesn't have to cope with all the juggling of job and family. However, he missed out on all the things that happened in between. And he was on "auto-pilot" mode as he fast forwarded his life. It meant you just hack-care and do what you feel like doing. I felt that auto-pilot is what sometimes we do at times. Bo chap attitude, I call it. I felt a little guilty at times.... reflecting time.

Till he went back to the past after receiving his promotion which was like years later. He saw how bad he treated his dad, kids, wife. His wife rvrn married another man. He really regretted it but there was no point of return since that was the deal with the Universal Remote Control. Thanks goodness it was a dream and the show ended with him cherishing every one that mattered to him. =)

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Went to return our wedding gowns yesterday. It really felt like the whole wedding episode has reached its finale when we handed over. Cos that would be the last time that we would step into the bridal shop.

~End~ for now.

Hazy.... it makes me feel sick

Can the land and forest fires in South Sumatra STOP??? It is causing haze in Singapore and Malaysia. Just read the papers today and that the PSI level in quite a number of Malaysia states have hit unhealthy level. Singapore (PSI of 80) is still in the moderate range. But I personally find that it's not moderate accordingly to my standard. The air at my office there is worse than home. I think my office location is nearer to Sumatra.

Don't feel like writing anymore.....

Taipei Pics (Part 2)

The pictures in Part 1 and Part 2 are not in sequential order....

On our flight to Taipei
On Yng Ming Shan (National Park). It was rainy and misty!!!! COLD!

Still in honeymoon Moode!

i didn't realise this actually... I mean the honeymoon mood. Till my colleagues ivy n michelle mentioned it. "Give her another month. She's still in honeymoon mood!" said Ivy. Mich replied,"Ya lor. Carol was even humming don-noe-what song when she stepped into the office this morning." I just broke out and laugh... I recalled I was humming Full House song this morning as I place my bag on the table. I like to play Goong and Full House OST when I drive in the morning. It perks me up instantly and puts me in a jovial mood! While hubby was dozing off beside me.

Allan is giving tuition from Mon to Thurs for this week as his student is having PSLE till next week. He has just collected our wedding pics this afternoon. I'm anxiously waiting for him to come home. I WANNA SEE OUR WEDDING PICS!!!

I feel comfortable at his place, or rather my home now. It's peaceful cos it's just my PIL and maid at home. 2nd BIL is always home late. And Beau gotta give tuition so he comes home at 9 plus.

My MIL was asking me to help her to sell a dress so bought 20 years ago. She bought it at $350 20 years back! The fabric was from Japan and it is still very good. She had wore it once only before. I asked her to show it to me. OH GOD, It was gorgeous!!!! And RETRO, not to boot. I immediately tried it on and it was fitting! She mentioned it fitted very nice too. But she mentioned Allan and his brothers had asked her not to wear this dress before. Said that it doesn't fit her. Nevertheless, she said if Allan find it nice, then I keep it and wear lor. Secretly, I wished to keep it. I never wore a $350 dress before leh. hehe... Then I turned to my FIL and asked," Pa, nice or not?" FIL was abit shy cos they don't have a daughter so I guess FIL is not used to having such questions thrown to him. FIL replied,"Em(In a soft tone, meaning yes), fabric still looks very new." My MIL laughed it off...haha... wa pian, I also cannot tahan myself. So thick-skinned.

I shall see what hubby says... *crossing my fingers*

Picture Time (Taiwan) Part 1

At Tamshui Fisherman's Wharf (Yu Ren Ma Tou)

Our 1st dinner at Taipei... Goose meat, veggies and my ban mian. This meal was yummy n healthy!

The friendly and ever-helpful shop assistant. She's only 20 years old!







At Jiu Fen, an old town... which is near the top part of a mountain.

Back from Naruwan Taiwan!

I AM BACK! Missed Singapore although I wished that honeymoon would never end. greedy yah! hee... 1 week has whizzed past. Not in the mood to upload pics cos feeling abit stoned and tired right now. But will do so in the couple of days.

ONE Thing I need to remind myself and need my colleagues who are usually my shopping kakis during lunch time to help:
1) NO MORE BUYING OF SHOES FROM NOW TILL DEC 2006.

Before I went Taiwan, I bought 3 pairs of shoes. Bought 4 pairs in Taiwan. That equates to 7 new pairs of shoes! Damnit, I couldn't control myself in Taiwan cos it was pretty cheap. Pls stop me from buying if we ever go shopping together. My HB even got my MIL to take note too. Haha... My MIL was saying too bad our shoe sizes are different, if not she can help to wear. Shoes will spoil faster then I can buy some more. haha... damn cute!

I just moved 3 big bags of clothes from my mum's place just now. Need to pack later again. It's been pack and unpack these past 2 weeks. Sianz... hopefully 1~2 more weeks and everything will be settled down.

Back to work tomorrow liao! GGJY!!!
