Chocolates N Cheese

Ya ya, no one wants to hear about poor me being sick again. Sighz. But really, after recovering from a month’s long cough, then the headache for a week, i thought all was well, then, WALAU, fever+cough+blocked nose. To think i was looking forward to yet another MOS night out. Looks like gotta shelf it til next week (or next mth if follows the trend of the cough). Thank god my fever has subsided and now that’s left is my irritating blocked nose and cough. Can u imagine i actually slept from 10pm (Tuesday night) to 6pm (Wed)!!!!! Yes, i guess u can. hahaha.. Ron says that I’m born to sleep, that usually when ppl threaten him that they’re going to sleep he won’t believe them; but if i do, then he will believe coz i have this ability to really just fall asleep. I din think that i was such a sleeper actually. I din even realise til he mentioned it the other day. Hahaha… but maybe that’s where all my energy comes from during the nights where i dun sleep–all kept inside me to be used up.

Ok anyway, where did i stop last time. long long time liao hor. i even forgot wat i initially composed. Sighz. NVM. Lemme think…

Oh ya. This past Monday was Uncle Woon’s bday. We met him, Aunt Teng2 & my three lil (ok lah, not so lil anymore) cousins for the Kublai Khan Mongolian buffet. Not too bad lah. $30 for each pax, the standard eat all u can, but wat i loved was the way they cooked the BBQ food on top of this LARGE round pan (yes, call me suaku, but when the kids were like "WOW"-ing, so was I! hahaha). Loved the chocolate fondue as well. The rest of the food, were, well, ok lah. Wat else would u expect out of a buffet right…

Speaking of the fondue, there was this B&#*$ who thought she was damn beautiful and elegant and stuff. She was with this guy at this table. She went to the fondue pot, took one of the satay sticks, poked it into the strawberry and ate it. Usually, you’d think that ppl with common sense would change the stick right? Especially after she put the whole tip of the stick into her mouth! NO WAY!!! she continued poking and eating and after a while, she happily walked around the buffet line, the stick in her mouth, and then back to the fondue. Imagine my horror!!!! Our whole table started bitching about her. Even my cousins knew not to do it! What kinda mentality this woman has been brought up, i also dunno lah!!!!! Ok, so we made sooo much noise, i even purposely said it loud enough for the guy to hear, but i guess since she was his date, he wun dare say anything. The waiters heard about it and started staring at her as well, but she was oblivious to her surroundings, just carried on as if she’s the beauty queen of fondue!

So when she finally returned to her table, the waiters acted really quickly (this i gotta give the place credit–wonderful service). While they were cleaning the pot and replenishing the chocolate, my cousins and i quickly went over there (talk about kiasu-ism) to wait for the pot. The lady also came along and i said really really loudly to my cousins, "we wait for the new one ok, the old one has SOMEONE’s saliva on it". She never did touch the fondue again. Mwahahaha.. Yes, i know i’m evil, but she’s really stupid!

Anyway, away from that topic, that evening, my aunt cracked a joke unknowingly. We were talking about Hossan Leong and Singaporean comedians (dunno how that came up). Anyway, she said "Hossan Leong’s very quiet". I said he’s not (coz i managed to work with him about 3 times previously). He’s actually somewhat like wat u see on stage. And quite a nice chap. Then my aunt said, the last time she met him and the gang (dun ask me who, this is not important), they were all very quiet. I said, couldn’t be leh… then u know wat my aunt said?…………………………………………………………………

………………………………………………………………………

……………………………………………………………………..

"Maybe it’s because we were all at a funeral?"

Walau eh. My aunt sometimes ah… sighz…

Oh well. Time to go back to work. Have 2.5 more hours before work ends and the weekend begins. All i can hope for is to get well before the weekend ends. Cross my finger. That way, I can hopefully go for Ladies’ Night. hehehe

Ok… Very Very weird. Now, i’ve been having that hammering headache for days now. In fact, i switched from Panadol Extra, to Panadol Extra (4 tablets) and then to Anarex. Still no cure!

During lunch time, my head was beginning to hurt again, so when i found out my colleague was going to see doctor, i went with her lah. Kepo kepo, to get my meds and also to grab some fresh air and lunch lah.

Went in to see the doc (pretty young man lah) and told him of my problem. First reaction from him was to double confirm wat i’ve told him. Second reaction- scratch head. Third reaction- shake head. He said he din like the sound of my headache and went on to explain all the different headache terms and stuff. He said the hammering pain at the back of the neck is very uncommon. Then the bomb: "You may be at risk of a Young People Stroke". Thanks, doc! That really helps. He went on to say "My fren, a gal, is a survivor of the stroke. Only 20% survives this stroke" WOW, that helps a lot too!!!! U can imagine i quite shocked lah. I’ve been put on a 24 hour alert list and if anything happens between now and then, i have to rush to A&E to get my head scanned. WAH. Sounds serious right?

You know wat’s the best part? My colleagues all think he’s cuckoo. Not cuckoo as in mental, but as in dunno how to treat patients. Example: One colleague visited him coz she was sick, he said she may be pregnant. (maybe that example not too good lah, coz docs sometimes just speculate until the truth). Another example: another colleague saw him for a cut and he made it seem like she had to go for an op on that small cut on her hand!!!!! WAH.

So for now, i’ll still be enjoying myself, be it Young People Stroke or not. In fact, i shd be enjoying more. Just in case. Hehehe… Already discussed with Cindy on the guest list, party booze, party songs and my mani pedi stuff just in case there’s my funeral. :-p

Incidentally ah, today is very weird. Last night i did think about death and all. Lying in my bed at night trying to sleep while watching "Gridiron Gang" (which is damn touching, btw) and then "The inconvenient truth" (That put me to sleep eventually)… then today, the doc tells me that. Another weird thing was, i woke up this morning and suddenly i thought about a long long long lost fren of mine, David. Yes, David. I also dunno why suddenly like that. I told my self i gotta find his frenster and add him. When i logged into frenster, i had "one new fren request" and guess who it was?!?!?!?! YES. DAVID. WAH. Maybe i shd buy 4D…

Or Maybe it’s one of those "know u’re gonna die so everything seems surreal and u wanna reach out to all your frens and family and loved ones" kinda scenario. U know… like how i shd go around telling everyone I love them, just in case my stroke really happened.

If and only if lah, just in case i didn’t say this in time lah, to you, yes you, you know who you are lah, Thank You. I’ve always cherished you, always have always will. Thanks for being in my life. Thanks for being there for me, for tahan-ing my craziness, and sometimes even taking part in it. Thanks for just being you and adding life to my sometimes mundane life. LOVE U. Aiyah, u know i mean it lah. Dun deny it. And if u want to hear it for yourself, call me, PM me, watever. :-p

(Awww… enough with this sentimental bullshit. It’s time to party. TGIF!!!!!!!!!!)

Sighz… i’ve been experiencing a stupid headache since yesterday. At every 3 sec interval, i will feel pain at the back of my head, as tho someone took a hammer and hit it on my head. Had that the whole day!!!! URGH. Then, in the evening after dinner, at Shop & Save (while buying my supply of Ice Mountain–i dun boil water at home, heh–italian way) i had a very very bad tummy gastric dunno wat ache! ARGH.

Then it happened again today just before i went for lunch. ARGH. Hammer in my head hammer in my head. After food, tummy gastricy thingy pain. WHAT IS THE MATTER?!??! Wat’s worst, had the WORST possible kimchi soup for lunch, so now feeling very hungry. Luckily upstairs there’s some scholar program talk going on so there’s food. Yum Yum. Waiting for my sandwich fruit tarts to arrive. Yum Yum

Can’t wait to go home. My head and tummy is getting on my nerves!!!!!

Can’t remember wat i wanted to write liao. NVM. Food’s here. (Post tbc)

There goes my diet again. STUPID LUNCH. Had half a sandwich (damn ex!!!! but quite yummy, maybe coz i’m hungry), 2 siew mais and 2 tarts. OH NO. Thank god i din eat THAT much for lunch and luckily i resisted the mos burger dessert (actually they were out of the chocolate flavored lah, tat’s why)

Sighz. I am SO bored. The hammer finally stopped. I think renovation is done. heh. Let’s hope it stays that way. Another 45 mins to end of work. i’ve cleared the admissions mailbox. Can’t wait to go home n fall asleep. Actually, can’t wait for Friday. hahahaha… MOS MOS MOS…

Sweet is the morning when you are stirring and your beloved plays you a love song on the guitar to wake you up…

Wah. I was supposed to post this sometimes back abt Ashley’s bday… Now dunno if i can remember wat i wanted to say or not. hahaha…

Ok. Let’s start with Sat afternoon. After convincing Ashley that the photoshoot was NOT a joke, she

{….. A LONG PAUSE from this blog entry coz Aileen came to visit me at work, then Ron. Wah, today is visit "Ming at Work coz She’s Bored day"… Btw, Aileen stayed for about 2.5hours and by that time i needed to clear my remaining work and go home. hahaha. Again, I’m hping my colleagues who may be reading this won’t ‘pao-to’ =p  }

Back to the story. Spent 2 hours doing up Ashley’s hair with the egg white. Nearly made me puke each time i reach my hand into that gooey stuff. YUCKS. The smell was TERRIBLE. Luckily i still had my slight blocked nose. Eeee. Now i understand the trouble the punks have to go thru each morning to style their hair. Poor things!

Anyway, the photoshoot went pretty ok lah. By the 2nd t-shirt tho, we had to touch up on the hair coz ashley’s hair was SO long and the t-shirts were pretty small. hahaha… By the 3rd t-shirt, i gave up on her hair. Too limp! LOL. Will post pics here (as soon as i get clearance from her– she’ll kill me if this ruins her future to get married!!!! hahaha)

by the time we were done, it was around 5pm (so much for an estimated 1hour photoshoot– we took more than 4 hours!). Gobbled my breakfast and lunch and then parted ways with ashley coz she had to go prim and proper herself for the night. Called her on her way back home (only the gals that night would know the reason i called). I didn’t know it was SO tough!!!! (again, only the gals will know, or some others if i told u, or if u wanna know, ask!)

Picked up Chin2 and Sylvia at their place before heading down to No Signboard for dinner. Walau eh, the cab driver’s music nearly put me to sleep. Wat wasn’t helping was the traffic! I was soooooo tempted to just get off and walked… anything away from the midi sounding sentimental classical music! Ok. Dinner was pretty ok. I was still full with the food from the afternoon so i had very little to eat. The chilli crab was good tho. I wish i had more space in my tummy. The whole time for dinner, Chin2 was very quiet… when asked why, she said she was just wondering how to carry ashley back home later on once she has been dosed up with plenty of drinks. hahaha. Ashley sommore not afraid, whole night kacau chin2!!!!! Ppl nowadays have no fear of wat is to come!

Finally on to St James. They booked a room in Mono- the Karaoke. Fun! First bottle they opened was Johnnie Walker. Walau eh, chin2 kept replenishing the drinks! Even my MC couldn’t save me– they have no sympathy for the sick! So i thought if i can’t beat them, i’ll join them in making ashley drunk. i think my tummy was mostly full of green tea that night. hahaha… Then had Hennesy. Actually it is quite nice. not like wat i’d imagine it to be. i think they improved on the taste or something. (i’m no alcohol connoseur or however u spell it). hmm… by then quite high (no dinner in tummy remember!). Went out for a walk with ashley and gavin and got another drink coz gavin thought his frens were inside tiger live, so we had to pay for entrance, sekali they were outside, so we just had vodka orange loh.

by the time we got back to the room, with all the walking and drinking and *#&^%&^(#$ we were quite high. Ashley was drunk. hahaha.. SHE WAS DRUNK. So funny. She slept at the top of the sofa and then rolled to the floor. She had peanuts and ice thrown all over her (Mono staff must be cursing!) and she was violently sitting on everyone.

BREAK: I forgot when some sleazy drunk guy came in and tried molesting gavin, but that guy was disgusting! got the Mono staff to throw him out. YUCKS.

Went over to (can’t remember the name now- short term memory– Chin2 says it starts with C… She thinks it’s Charlotte. heh. so cute lah this ketua pengawas) to dance, actually more like see how ashley acted. hahaha. she kept toppling over. Finally ended the night when we couldn’t take it anymore! It was really realy fun lah. I still dun enjoy st james but the company was fantastic. Thumbs up to Chin2 the gal who loses her bearing on the roads but not her bearing for fun!

U know wat! The next day, Ashley msgd us. So hilarious. She had gone off straight to bed (too drunk to care) and the next morning, she wanted to change, she took off her top and all the peanuts fell onto the floor! HAHAHA. She asked who the culprit was, and Sylvia admitted to it. Chin2 sillyly admitted that she din throw the peanuts but the ice. DAMN! She could’ve gotten away with it coz Ashley din remember the ice!!!!! Hahaha….

Another club… FAT CLUB. yes. I think i’m about to join the "Fat Fighter’s Club" (Watch Little Britain and u’ll know wat i’m talking about). URGH. Everyday it’s snack snack snack in the office. Never snacked so much in my entire working life. I’m on the brink of becoming fatter than i already am. HOW CAN!?!?!?! Already i’m sitted the whole day. DIE. Now i’m not only gonna get a fat ass, but a fat everything! ARGH. Must….Resist….Temptation!!!!!!!

Club. MOS. Audrey. Enough said.

Jayne Fan Club:: One last thing that happened yesterday that i just HAD to mention.

Background: Rawn and my littlest (actually youngest coz she’s not the smallest in size) cousin Jayne (9 years old) have this love hate relationship going on. Jayne loves to hate Rawn. hahaha. He always disturbs her but they’re like buddies lah. It’s amazing sometimes to watch them coz he’s so huge and she’s so tinyly big. Jayne has this amazing ability to be funny even when she doesn’t try too hard

Ok anyway, last week, Faith (Jayne’s 2nd elder sis, 11 years old) needed to do a t-shirt design for her school’s competition and sought help from everyone. They were thinking of what to draw and we were just throwing out ideas and all. I suggested a symbolic animal (yea yea, boring i know…) and they said draw a monkey. Jayne said, draw a monkey and put rawn’s face on it coz he acts like one. hahha. Then Rawn retaliated and said, it’s easier to draw Jayne- just draw a circle. HAHAHA. Jayne was like stumped!

Yesterday, i was talking to Jayne on msn and she was using the Handwriting function. She drew a circle and asked me, is this wat rawn said looked like her. I couldn’t stop laughing. This gal can surely laugh at herself! It’s damn funny. I printed it out and i’m gonna show it to my family.

As you can tell, i’m totally in love with Jayne. hahaha. Yes, she’s my cousin and all, but i think she’s such a smart and humorous kid. I hope she grows up to be a comedian (or in Rawn’s words, like Selina; or i think like Margaret Cho. hahaha… All the sizes fit!)

OK. Usually don’t share this (coz it’s a well known fact that i’m not the most demure gal on earth) but I think POOR RAWN. Hahaha… Yesterday was so damn funny that as I am typing this now i am laughing so hard to myself that i think the ppl looking into my office (i’m working in a fish tank– NOT at Geylang!!!!!!!!! At SMU also got fish tank– the most irritating place to work in coz got irritatingly stupid ppl– ok back to the story)..

Anyway, i dunno how it started lah.. but he was standing behind me while i was on my lappy on the bed (i think he came in to grab something) and he decided to creep up on me. Quick reflex action from me and i kicked his face! Ahahahaha!!!!!! DAMN FUNNY. But serves him right lah. hahahaha… OK tat wasn’t the end… later in the night, dunno wat happened lah, i accidentally poked his eyes with my finger. Wah, that has got to hurt even more than the kick (at least the kick he will only get pimples!). Hahaha.. Poor darling… dunno vision from then on deprove or not.. hahaha.. If he starts looking at ugly gals, then i’ll know…

Anyway, spent these two nights watching RENTED DVDs. Sighz. The good part is I got to catch some pretty good TV shows. Cannot explain wat this is about on the net lah, but i think many of my singaporean frens may know wat i’m talking about. So managed to catch America’s Next Top Model, Extreme Makeover Home Edition, Amazing Race, ermm… can’t remember anything else… oh ya, rented "A night at the museum"- damn funny. The first show i haven’t fallen asleep watching in a long long while. It’s not that the other shows are bad, they just din have the power to hold my attention and make me stay awake. Protege seemed like a good show, but i fell asleep on that. hahaha… now considering renting DVDs from Hollywood clicks to tide me over for the time being.

Work is getting on my nerves at times. Sighz. bitch bitch bitch time. Ppl are calling non-stop. Mainly from very kancheong ppl who thinks that after the closing date, SMU decides to dump all their records into the bin and not follow up. I’ve got parents calling for their kids to find out where and when the interviews will be (some even following these kids to the interview! Come on, they’re old enough!!!!!!!!!!)… and thn recently, been getting parents calling up every possible numbers in SMU because they couldn’t get thru our 5 lines. Come on lah, for every call, there is another 3-4 more on the call waiting. Of coz we can’t answer your call right! Walau eh. Today i used the headset again so that i can answer the calls when i’m typing important stuff like this blog. LOL. Multi tasker mah (my colleague who may read this, keep it to yourself. hahaha). But each time the phone rings and i wanna place the headset properly into my ear, they stop ringing when i’m done placing it! ARGH. These ppl will be the death of me!

But working here not bad lah. Pantry is always full of snacks and food, shops around SMU selling food. Sighz… I’m gonna grow fat. The only form of exercise i get while working here is the constant run to the toilet. hahaha… sometimes sitting here, i forget i need the toilet until someone reminds me by exiting the door, then i suddenly remembered that i need to pee badly and make the rush for the toilet. SIghz. bad for health i know, wat to do. Ok, stop being disgusting now

Read some random ppl’s blog today. Lately have this habit of being voyeuristic in terms of reading other ppl’s blogs. somehow knowing something about someone else’s life can be quite interesting sometimes… eventho u’ve never met the person… u start to imagine how their life is, who they are in real life, and wat their frens might say, blah blah blah, all thru their blogs. hahaha… oh no! i think i’m going insane.

Tonite i better start working on the rest of the Keep It Like A Secret stuff or it’ll drag on even longer. Sighz. BETTER loh. Also will start posting Ashley’s pic soon with her hair (that took 2 hours to style and fell flat after the first 2 change of clothes). That was fun, sticking your hand into the gooey egg white (nearly puked), putting it on your fren’s head and blow drying it to keep the hair standing.

Oh ya. Will post about that and about Ashley’s bday party tomorrow lah. I’m left with 20 mins and i just realised suddenly hace 10 emails to answer. No swet lah, chicken feet.

Hopefully i’ll get to eat my subway today. Yum yum. And i’ll try to be gentler to Rawn today. HAHAHA… I dun think i wanna end up with a guy that is blind and full of pimples on his face.

This past week has been crazy. I’ve been sick. YUCKS. Forgotten how it’s like to be that sick. Started with a sore throat that i thought was just coz i had KFC the night before. Then was slightly feverish, so took MC (also good lah, relax a lil) and slept almost the whole day. The sore throat seem to grow from a small ping pong ball to a huge basketball and i found it really painful to talk (and the world was peaceful for a while). then now it ended with flu and cough! ARGH. The cough is very very irritating!!!!!!! I hope it goes away soon. I missed out on going out to club coz of the bloody cough. Sighz. Can’t wait for Sat.

Anyway, wat’s with parents nowadays. What’s with kids also! HmpH! They either can’t read or refuse to do so. I think this job i’m in has exposed me to the really ugly side of Singaporeans. The stupid and ugly side. Singaporeans are brought up with the "I can get things my way by complaining" mentality, which is bloody bad!!! How can we expect the young to grow up into courteous and nice ppl when their parents are bloody idiots with a bad attitude!!!!!!!! Yet, there are a handful of really really sweet ppl when u least expect it. Shall stop here. Dun wanna lose my job by going on.

Anyway, looking at the bright side of things… met up with Roger and his new SPG (hahaha.. sorry, Roger) on Sunday and went to the pasar malam in Bedok. The guys got into a little friendly competition over the air gun thingy.. u noe the one where they shoot the duck and if it falls u get the prize that u shot???? In the end, guess wat? Roger won a remote control helicopter! WAH. Amazing. Now ron’s pissed coz that’s yet another thing the British has won over the Singaporean. Hahahaha

Am really excited over the new designs that KILAS has produced. Really looking forward to putting it up on the internet and pushing for sales to go thru. keeping all fingers and toes crossed. Keep a watch on this space ok!

Hmm… wat else ah… yesterday was a pretty good day. Watched the movie "300". really really enjoyed it. Besides the fact that the Spartans were all soooooo well built and only wore their underwears (hahah, tat’s not why i enjoyed the show lah, but it’s a plus point), but the way they filmed and produced the show, and their fight scenes were sooooo good! OoOOoOoo….

Ok. Going off now. have to get back to work and back to chtting on the webmsn (which is super sucky!!!) need to figure out a way to get my real msn working again. GRRRRRR

Something happened these few days at home to make me ponder about life again. Yes, to those who knows, everything is pretty well now, life should be back on track. To those who don’t, well, it’s blown over now so we’ll just leave it as that.

Had the sudden urge to eat Jap curry today. Dragged 3 part timers with me (one of them my niece) to Ajisen Restaurant and had their Chicken Cutlet Omu Curry Rice. Not too bad. Eat until SOOOO full. Still went on to dessert. Glad i shared with my niece the dessert coz i had 3 bites and that was that.

I’m quite tired these few days. Haven’t been sleeping well. Tried sleeping really early yesterday. I think i must’ve comatosed coz i remembered watching (or trying to watch rather) Child’s Play and then waking up to the blank TV, turning it off and then faling back to sleep. Aaaahh…. finally last night get to sleep. but still very tired out of the ‘excitement’ this week brought. Oh well…

Oh ya. Another exciting thing happening. i have FINALLY decided to do my freelance wedding planner thing. hahaha… yes yes, i am so unfocused. I’ve got so many things going on now but yet i wanna add in another. the good part about this is i’m doing it part time (which this new position gives me time for) and so overhead costs is low and even if i float around without getting any wedding jobs at the moment, i am fine. Will start out really small and hopefully see this grow. Keeping my fingers crossed. So if u know anyone who’s getting married and want to hire a coordinator; and dun mind someone doing it freelance (but i’m confident i’ll do a good job! hahaha), then pls pls pls recommend me! hehe. I won’t let you (or your frens) down lah. :-p

That being said, really looking forward to Lynette’s wedding. Wah, this one has been talked about for so long!!! Really can’t wait to get started helping her with her stuff. And of coz, my dear fren Jamie’s wedding. Wah, fast romance, fast love, fast marriage. So happy that she is FINALLY settling down with someone she really loves. Next year, Audrey’s turn. my dearest sampat is getting married (tear in eyes- this is a happy tear ok!). Wah. OK Stop wondering about mine ok! It is still a LONG LONG time!!!!!!!!!!

Ok actually i’m still at work lah. Thought i wanted to blabber something before i start work. Too full to start work. hahaha.

back to work then….

Sighz… 2 days after Dion & Swan’s SG Wedding. They’re off to my FAVOURITE country in the world– ITALY!!! Ack. So envious. well well..

Anyway, quite tired out this Monday. Reached home at around 2am on Sat, then on Sunday sommore rushed into JB. but am glad i did that lah, din see my family for about 2-3 weeks liao. won’t be seeing this this coming weekend as well. So it’s worth the rush and tiredness..

Ok. So the wedding. KL first. KL was pretty fun. It was SO nice of the couple to sponsor our bus ride and hotel stay! Made new and really fun frens in Cindy, Wati, Alvin & Marcus– went to zouk with them as well. WE even checked out Poppy Garden, which was a really cool place to be, eventho it was sooo freaking hot! ARGH. Ok. So the wedding. It was held at Bukit Jalil. Went ok lah, sommore had 3 types of performances. The shiong ti all din go, so it was up to the jie mei to go around with them to yum seng. so funny. first time doing that. but quite fun lah. the wine was fantastic, so after all the stressful coordination, we just drank and drank. hehehe. erm… basically, shopped a lot, i think i spent around RM1000 in that weekend! Bought quite a lot of stuff and even had my nails done by the sweetest guy (he’s gay btw)

Ok. SG Wedding. Now, THAT was the highlight. Plans for the ‘fetch the bride’ stages were only done the week itself but thanks to the ingeniouity (sp) of the jie meis, we came up with a sure-fire way of making the day fun while getting our huge angbao. Will tell u more now (some stuff kopi-righted, please use as much as possible on future grooms).

When we checked in, we refused to let Dion or any of the guys know wat room Swan was in. Mwahahaha.. Even went to the extend of blindfolding the cameramen (which, in respect to CIndy, i shall leave it as it is. hahaha) We had 3 stages (since we did it in Hilton, this was a good strategy).

Stage 1: Hotel Lobby (which by the way, we kept getting chased by the security coz of the noise we made. Lousy hotel!). Dion had to answer two questions pertaining to Swan. Get it wrong, do a forfeit (which by the way, ALL the answers were wrong throughout ALL the stages). So first forfeit, pluck 8 hairs from 8 different places of the body. Hahaha.. They of coz went for the easiest spots first- the eyebrows, the hands, the legs, the fingers. then at the last two stage- stumped! Dunno where to pluck. Attempted plucking from nose, ears, chin. hahaha. in the end, someone even took off their socks so can pluck the toe hair. hahaha. (Pics to come- exceeded number of uploaded pics for this mth liao). Second forfeit, carry dion and run around the lobby shouting "Dion’s getting married! Dion’s getting married!" and Dion must shout "Yes yes yes!" (which in the end, they had to whisper so that we dun get chased again)

Ok. Done. All in the lift now. Onto Stage 2. Outside the suite. 3 questions + 1 immunity challenge (which by the way, it was just to make him do it. the immunity challenge doesn’t immune him from anything. mwahahaha) This is the eating stage. "Suan", "Tian", "Ku", "La". For Suan (Sour), they had to eat a whole lemon (btw, i just need to give Dion a GREAT BIG PAT on the back- he took the task and just did it. FANTASTIC. Almost too boring, but good! hahha). For Tian, they had to eat a piece of bread covered with 2 packets of sugar and 1 mini bottle of honey. For Ku, they had to eat a fifth of the Bitter Gourd that we prepared. For La, we specially concocted a jalapeno pepper + Wasabi + Mustard on Dry Bread. Hahaha.

Stage 3: In the suite, but outside the final door. So. This one simple and straightforward. 1) One of the shiong ti to pretend to be the pole while Dion does the pole dance around him (can’t get the image outta my head! Too funny!). 2) One of the shiong ti to pretend to be swan while dion sings ‘her’ a song (which by the way was ‘Yue Liang Tai Piao We De Xing".

FINALLY, Ang pao time. Wah. Dion very generous. He got in with $900 (supposed to be $888 lah- keep the change). Finally it was on to the rest of the day. Or so we thought. FIrst time in history!!! We reached Dion’s place and were locked out of the house!!!! Stupid shiong tis made Swan answer 3 questions or do the forfeit (which she got it all wrong btw). They tried their very best to do the suan tian ku la (left out the suan tho). They stole our bitter gourd and made us eat (which Cindy bravely did it), made some maggi mee concoction thing to represent spicy (i drank lah), then some kueh with a pot of honey (which they stole as well from us!) which audrey and a few others ate. hahaha. Ok. So on to the day. After tea reception, took a few pics at Esplanade and ended up taking a few pics at SMU, the place they met… blah blah blah. Rested in the hotel (so nice to bath and just relax in the bathrobe). At night, dinner went really well. Dion read some love letter to Swan tat was Oh-So-Touching! at the end of it all, both of them were pretty high. I think Dion was even more stoned than he ever was. hahaha.. Swan was like just high and very tired. So we put her to bed and got Dion into the shower. As we were leaving, we said our gooodbyes and knocked on the bathroom door but dion din reply; PANIC struck– we thought he had fainted or fell asleep or wat… got the captain to open the door and when all jie meis had cleared the space, the shiong tis "chiong" into, only to be welcomed by Dion bathing! hahahahahaha… TAT was funny! Laughed until cannot laugh liao. I bet the shiong tis had nightmare that night! hahaha…

Well.. this is the start of many more weddings this year. a few of them in which i have the ‘honour’ of being the jie mei again. hahaha.. to the guys that are reading this and i’m the jiemei for your wedding, fret not, coz the above is just the beginning and it will not be as simple as that. mwahahaha.. Frigtened? U can start by bribing me now…. and then, maybe, just maybe. it wun be that bad…

Yes. That was the thing that was happening. Swan’s surprise bachellorette party! Whew. It’s all done and over and we had SO much fun. Cannot reveal much lah, but wat i can reveal is this…

The plan was to book a suite in Gallery Hotel where we could have chocolate fondue, do our nails and makeup, and then to take her to paint the town red (in this case, only paint MOS red lah). Cherie was in charge of the room, deco, and making up Swan. Audrey was in charge of food and wine. Wati was in charge of the gifts. I was in charge of luring the ‘victim’. Mwahahaha. Ok. Plan in place. forgot a few things on that day, but in the end, come to think of it, luckily din buy also, coz wun be used. hehehe.

Cherie’s fren was so sweet in helping us with the suite. It even came with complimentary drinks in the fridge and he even bought ice cream and cake! Wow. Nice guy!

Ok. Anyway. Was supposed to zip to the hotel straight after work to drop off Swan’s clothes (Dion helped us sneak her clothes out- so cute right!) and then go meet her around 7pm. She was late! Not her fault lah, we kinda were prepared to expect the worst… Anyway, she called (we were panicky that she might cancel) and i INSISTED to meet her coz need her opinion on something ‘very important’ for the video montage. Finally met her for dinner around 8plus. eat talk eat talk. she was still oblivious and in the dark. We took a walk to Gallery hotel coz i had a ‘fren’ staying there and i left my lappy with ‘him’. We rang the bell and the 3 gals, being too eager, opened the door and threw the rose petals OUT of the room and unto us. HAHAHA… She got such a shock!!!! Well, the rest of the evening was giving her the pressies (beautiful gift, Wati!) eating the YUMMY choc stuff that Audrey prepared (my mouth still watering thinkin of it), getting prepared for MOS (all the handiwork of the talented Cherie), giving Swan her tasks to do for the night and just laughing and laughing and laughing even harder. We finally made it to MOS at around 12+ (i think lah- today memory damn slow).

Swan proceeded with her tasks. MADE ME PROUD!!!!!! I was so scared the tasks was too tough for her, but she really proved me wrong! I was laughing all the way!!!!!! It was a fantastic night!

We dropped her back to the hotel with the last surprise- Mr Tan! Hehehe.. She thought she was gonna spend the night sleepless in the hotel with us. She was WRONG! LOL

All in all, it was a really good surprise. If you’re one of the gals getting married and think that u’ll be able to sniff YOUR surprise party, u’re wrong. hehehe… Watch out for yours. It’ll be as crazy.

By the way, my galfrens warned me NOT to get married, or I will die a dreadful ‘death’ coz of all the payback they will do to me. LOL. And for my bday, u wun find me one mth before and one mth after coz i’ll be hiding thanks to audrey and her need to payback for her bday tasks. :-p

Sigh. Am at work now. 4:30pm. Just completed clearing the 100+ emails that came in. Now resting for a while before I go downstairs to clear the mails that are piling up. In case you din know, i’m now a receptionist. Yes yes yes. My new job is being a receptionist. LOL. ARGH. Irritating ppl asking irritating questions that could’ve been easily answered IF they only read the website!!!!!!! NVM. Sometimes i find it so nice to have the power to tell ppl that they are NOT qualified to be in SMU. How evil that is. But I LIKE. Coz these are the ppl who think taking short cuts and all will land them in SMU. Think again man. And then there are ppl who think just coz they have straight As in their results, they can be ya ya papaya and ask for a straight admission without taking part in the admissions exercise.  MY FOOT. Many ppl get As!!!!

Ok. Enough whining about my ‘receptionist’ job.

Monday was BAD. My luck was BAD. Or shd i say, i din have enough luck. Chin2 said it was her first time playing mahjong seriously. Well, i shd know better than play with beginners, coz she really really has ALL the beginner’s luck. By the time we were halfway thru the game, i had become cursing her all the time. LOL. Not that i meant it lah. I was super frustrated with my cards tho. Walau eh… So many times i have half color or full color or waiting for one card, but our dear chin2 will game! URGH!!!!! Teach her how to play big cards, the next moment, she’s winning the maximum points! How can like that!!!!! Luckily Ron was the big winner so i paid Ron and ended up paying Chin2 10cents. LOL. Luckily i not that BIG a loser, coz Sylvia also lost almost as much. mwahahaha… Sighz. I really need to improve on my luck. Where was all the luck that was with me when i was playing BlackJack with my family! Walau eh!!!!!

Anyway, Ron, Sylvia and Chin2 now belongs to the ging gang gully gully gang. Who ask them to bully me during mahjong! HMPH

Tonite, i need to go for Mandarin Class. Sianz. Thinking about the Song Lao Shi makes me sleepy already. Sighz. Dunno why i convinced myself that this class was the best to go to. Maybe coz it was near SMU lah. MAYBE. but the class itself really very boring. By the first 15 mins of each class, i’m dozing off and seeing things on my book. ARGH. and the teacher’s english pronounciation sometimes make me wanna slap her. She pronounces Mouth as Mouse. How can right!?!?!

Hahaha.. But at least Sim aka Ashley is in the same class as me lah. So i can always disturb her. She used to be a lil more serious. Now i think she also cannot tahan liao and joins me in making fun of everything the teacher says and do, and everything that the teacher’s pet (this really old man) does. LOL. Today i brought my kit kat pencil that she bought for me (she was so complainy coz i din bring it– dun want it to spoil mah!!!!) Anyway, the kit kat pencil very cute leh. Sighz. I very heart ache to use it coz i so chor lor, sure sooner or later the small mock pink kit kat will break away from the pencil one loh. Sighz…

Anyway, i can’t wait for Friday. hehehe.. Something’s happening to someone but i can’t tell coz if i do, i’ll die a horrible death. MAYBE i’ll write about it AFTER it has happened. Which reminds me, i have to quickly rush out the photo montage i’m doing for Swan coz i’m meeting her before the something happens.

I AM SO BORED! I mean, i love where i’m working. Great ppl, Great Surroundings, very accessible and i love the campus (i try to walk thru it at least 3 times a week just to pretend i’m still studying there!). Loads of eye candy here as well. hahaha. and it’s not as rigid as i tot it to be. In fact, it is pretty fun other than the times where i have to answer the phone, email and walk in queries. hehehe…

Ok. i think i better end here. I think i better go get the mails or not i’ll forget again. Sighz. So lazy to walk but better walk lah, no good to keep sitting on my tummy the whole time.
