the 4 divas

Judy looks so happy!

Sherril, lovely as usual

fluffy

Everyone, meet fluffy, bran's present to me. It's a Netherland Dwarf (which is Bunny's breed) x French Angora = Jersey Wooly. Jersey Woolies are show rabbits that's why fluffy is soo pweety! It's coat is really soft, plush and wooly. I can't explain the dark eye rings though.. He arrived at my place like that..

wet after playing in the rain

ooh fluffy..

my favourite bunny..it has grown 300g since it's last vet visit in Feb.

having lunch. fluffy's iris are actually blue. It's bright, that's why he looks so scary here.

gnaw gnaw gnaw

...no manners. at the rate he's eating, he'll look like bunny soon.

bunny bunny, see the ring on her back? She's shedding

sneaky fluffy

I swear I'm not starving them. I don't know why they're always so hungry

I'm feeling rather guilty for neglecting hodiyang when he was here for the past 2 weeks. Usually I'll be too tired after work + school. Usually he'll be in hodiwei's room playing his brand new white DS, or PS, or watching silly videos on the PC. Then I'll pop by his room and say good night, and plop dead on my bed. I guess the only thoughtful thing I have done was to celebrate his birthday with him. He is enjoying himself in Langkawi with the 'morning joggers'. He is becoming an aunty like them soon.

Genting, KL, night safari, and a haircut

Bran and I went on a impulsive short getaway to Genting and KL last weekend, to celebrate his birthday. We were lucky there were seats left, we only decided and made our bookings on the day before departure.

The coach arrived at Genting at 4am in the morning, and check-in is only after 11am... ... dang ... We walked around, napped at the lobby, watched sunrise yadda yadda. We entered the theme park at 8.30am and by 11am, we've finished all the rides.


Dilun & Diyang joined us in KL. I think bran had made a booking for a suite in Berjaya Times Square Hotel. The room is ridiculously big for both of us, comes with a pantry, living hall, bedroom, a bathroom with an adjoining toilet. We've had too much chicken on the trip. Bran ordered KFC upon arrival at Genting. We ordered a Super Supreme for lunch, but the waiter made an error and they gave us Chicken Supreme. Dinner was at Kenny Rogers. We had Kenny Rogers again at KL. And bran ordered a bowl of Curry Chicken Noodles before we came back to Singapore on Monday. Ooh..and it's nice to have A&W again! But everything in M'sia seems to be spoilt. When we were at A&W, we were told that we can't order any meal because the root beer dispenser, waffle maker and everything else was not working. When the problem was fixed half an hour later, even the hotdog bun of diyang and dilun's coney dog broke into two! wahahahahaha!


Diyang came to Singapore with us and..we were off to the Night Safari (again) on Wednesday. This time with momma and Xueling.


Anyway, I've finally chopped off my locks after.....6 years. =)

gucci-ed!

hello, I would like to make an announcement.

I got my first Gucci today. It's a 'princy' medium boston bag. The very same one I mentioned in an entry in March. Trigger happy =)


Okay, more piccas from Monday's opening ceremony.

opening ceremony

Whew! It's finally over! I was worrying about the opening for the past week..from finding golden scissors, ribbon balls, roast piggie, a reputable caterer, how to address the ambassador..the most worrying part was how to keep the ribbon balls on the wall for one minute. I was so afraid the mounting tape can't hold it up for long. Connecting the balls caused a big headache..I don't even want to be reminded of it. Anyway..enjoy the piccas.

tash is working on sherril's hair, and sherril is completely like
a tai-tai. she's reading a mag while tash tries to bun her super thick hair.

yoohoo! me and sherril.
these are excess uniforms. couldn't get any smaller sizes though.

me and queen

momma judy

we're coffee and milk.

hello it's rude to laugh at my small tooth.

happy father's day

Korean bbq dinner with family + bran. =). It's been so long since we had korean bbq together, and today's was pretty satisfying.

Met bran + family for seafood dinner on Thursday. His extended family were having a chalet there. I had applied for an off-day on Friday since he was scheduled to go to Tekong on Friday. BUT! Surprise surprise! His deferment was granted at the last minute! =). I want to go cycling with bran again. Bran had told me earlier that he sniggers everytime a creaky bike goes past him. Yeah, because he has a ridiculously expensive roadbike. And guess what, he got a creaky bike on Thursday. heehee.

Anyway, I shall end off with a very embarrassing photo taken in the new office.


Hahaha. That was Sherril's batman outfit. She has a complete set, with leotards and all. Sherril was holding my cape so I looked like I was flying. heeheehahaha

Sunday, 10 June 07

hola! exams are over. =)

The past week was spent packing the office, revising, and moving to our new premises on the next block! Good thing we're only moving to the next block, and we're now 50m nearer to the MRT station. yay.

lub lub

I'm so grateful for the PH, I eventually spent an evening with boyfriend after he sent me on a guilt trip for neglecting him for the past weeks. I'm so glad I decided to meet him yesterday. We drove to town, walked the shops for an hour and bran drove within the city with the windows down, ah-beng style. Perhaps it sounds like what you do everyday, but I still enjoyed myself very much, because that was the first time we went on such a date after 6 years of being together. We had always wanted to go out for a drive in the night, but by the time bran arrives to pick me up, I'm ready to fall asleep anytime. boohoo..

graduation!

Some piccas from the graduation ceremony on Monday.

with papa and momma

hello, my best ally at CX.

"where's Andre?" Haha I had such a good laugh reminiscing
with Jia En (middle). We had so much fun in the kitchen, digging at each other
and discussing about desperate housewives and
project runway and ANTM during classes.

She's a chef now??! I can't believe she's the same girl who hated
Indian spices so much. She made me make the funny-tasting Mexican chicken
during culinary lessons, because she thinks Turmeric will make her
hands rot. =)

She's tossing salads at Flutes now. =)

Thanks for coming Ben & Judy!

momma asks for Judy's beauty secrets

Surprisingly, I don't feel as tired as I was last week, and tomorrow is Friday! Work has been fine..I'm generally happy there, except I'm not labelled as a "team-ist" (as in racist) because I refused to share a tub of ice cream with them. We were feeling yesterday, so I suggested cones (everyone can pick their favourite flavour also mah...) The tub of ice cream was to be shared between the 3 divas and myself, and the tub would be passed around according to seniority (!!). So..by the time it reaches me, it would have a) been licked clean b) melted and looked disgusting.

On a happier note, bran met me for lunch yesterday and we had 2 pasta, 1 video tape-size pizza and 3 anti-pasti dishes at the italian joint below my office. And we finished everything up. Well done!

I haven't been getting any rest these few days, and the angst and frustration is getting into me. I haven't seen bran for ages too. I ought to be spending more time with him before we get separated for the longest time. Bran dropped by on Friday night, but I fell asleep within 15 minutes after he came, and he had to leave early the next morning. boohoo.

harvest moon addict

I finally caught Phantom of the Opera with the boyfriend after procrastinating for 2 months. We paid slightly more than $145 each for two Level 3 front row seats. I enjoyed the show very much, all the time holding bran's hands.

Finally met up with Christine after 3 months, for barely one hour. I have no discipline at all, =P sorry my friend. Glad to see you again!

Sunday is well-spent. 12 hours sleep, cleaned hamster cages, revision and mother's day dinner.

Some piccas from birthday celebrations in the office.

a very sleepy tung

Waking up is really the hardest thing to do these days.. Classes 3 times a week, work, spending time with bran, and playing harvest moon on DS till 3am =).

Bran fell ill last week. He looked like a poor puppy when he slept. I went to bran's after class on Saturday and we lazed on the couch, watched Kill Bill while I played harvest moon again. =)

We finally visited Night Safari on Sunday. Papa managed to get us complimentary passes because his company adopted the flamingos (of all animals / birds...).

Ever since I started working, my bank account has been in a worse state than before I joined CX. It's bad, because I don't feel the pinch when I spend now. And every time I go to Hong Kong I will exhaust about $800 even if I only have one day for shopping. How ah?

Bellini Room

I've just returned from St James. We had an unofficial Marketing & Sales outing at Bellini Room where Runi's brother-in-law's band is playing. Runi is so happening these days, she's over 50, listens to Justin Timberlake, and planned this outing. The place was not too bad except there's a serious lack of seats. They play jazz music there, the lead singer is pretty good. We requested he sang a birthday song for Runi and he totally swept us off our feets. But the company was the main reason I enjoyed myself. There were tasha, elaine, chris toh, runi, ben, jenny, agnes, rai, sue from American Airlines and JUDY! Surprise!

Something really saddens me.. There's nothing I can do here, I can only hope for the best..
