Just to backtrack a little bit here. I've moved to Hong Kong since my wedding last June and gotten an internal transfer to the office here as well. Still learning Cantonese, but at least I'm starting to understand it now.

My 3 luggages back from London was a whopping 44kg!!! Think I only went with 30kg? The counter guy waived up till 40 kg and wanted to charge me GBP32 for each of the extra 4kg. No way! Took some reference books and lens solution out and got it down to 40kg. I held on to one bag for claiming tax refunds after checking in the 40kg though. After that, I put the books back into that bag. (See, they

Gosh, this site has really been neglected, hasn't it? It's been an amazingly busy year since the wedding, and here are some updates for those who are still visiting:Married LifePure bliss. YY is a perfect husband, so perfect that I feel guilty for bullying him sometimes. :) I'm trying my best to be a good wife too, although it's still some way off the mark in terms of cooking, housework..... oh

I desperately need some retail therapy AND I really NEED more new clothes and shoes and bags and accessories!!!

It's supposed to be a joyous occasion, but it's causing so much conflicts and stress. On top of that, I have to squeeze all the planning and appointments into the limited amount of time I have in Singapore. Cost involved is exorbitant and I'm already bursting the budget. Everybody has comments and criticisms, but not much help is offered. I should have just eloped.

Because my Taiwan tourist visa is only valid for 30 days, my boss has kindly agreed to let me pop by to Hong Kong for a weekend, so tata, here I am now. I have just witnessed a spectacular display of fireworks in Tsim Sha Tsui with YY. I would like to think that it's solely for my sake, but truth is, it's in celebration of China's National Day. Mixture of exploding flowers and stars and the

My amateur attempts to capture the brilliance of my wedding rings. I'm still not that satisfied with it though, the photos I mean. The rings, I'm extremely over the moon with.My Engagement Ring My Engagement Ring & Wedding Band Our Wedding Bands These are in antique settings and mine's an eternity band. They are also engraved with each other's Chinese and English names.

Life's great at the moment - Love, family and friends. Not perfect, but great. I don't think I can ever describe life as perfect, I'm too greedy for that. Near-perfection would be if I do not have to be apart from YY still. He just makes me so happy . I'm contented.

Hmmm, my last entry was in April, which means I've taken a break of 4 months. What's happened in these last 4 months? Well, I have almost 90% of my wedding preparations done. I started my new job which is the best one I have to-date, partially explaining my long break from blogging....simply because the work is all-consuming. I have gone to Hong Kong for a 5 weeks assignment. YES, you can imagine

Dear friends, sorry I have been so busy there are no updates lately. To summarise:My first trip to Hong Kong was wonderful. I loved the place. YY proposed my first night there and we went shopping for a diamond ring the following day!!!Now I'm so busy planning for the wedding to be held in June 2006 (solemnization plus lunch for immediate relatives in Singapore followed by wedding dinner in Hong

You scored as agnosticism. You are an agnostic. Though it is generally taken that agnostics neither believe nor disbelieve in God, it is possible to be a theist or atheist in addition to an agnostic. Agnostics don't believe it is possible to prove the existence of God (nor lack thereof).Agnosticism is a philosophy that God's existence cannot be proven. Some say it is possible to be agnostic and

S***! I knew it was too good to be true! Fotopages is going to start charging for its services and free accounts will no longer enjoy the unlimited storage space we are using now. Boohoohoo , I have to start searching for another similiar service soon. How the hell am I going to migrate all the pictures I linked previously?!

The general plan for this 1.5 months:a) Wake up at the normal time 7am and chit chat with YY (we use webcam and internet telephony) until 8am when he leaves for work.b) Go downstairs and jog for an hour.c) Shower, rest and have brunch.d) Go for my leftover slimming sessions (not very effective), facials, free massages that can only be utilised during work hours etc.I just got back from Step b).

Yesterday was my last day. I will start my job (in Co.B) in May and it's in a ulu area which is relatively near my home. (Co.A couldn't match my expected salary.)As I walked along the revamped Raffles Place Exchange tunnel to the MRT station, I felt a sense of loss. I've been working in this area ever since I graduated. It was a vibrant place, teeming with people all dressed to impress. Lunchtime

I attended an external course this week and took the opportunity to go for 2 interviews on Thursday. On Friday, one of the companies (Co. A) informed me that they will be offering me the position, details of which they are still working out and will let me know by next Tues.I'm in a dilemma over whether to accept it.1) Salary: My current company's increment for this year has yet to be announced.

8th Feb 05 - CNY EveI arrived in Changi Airport at 11:15pm and he has already cleared the customs . Although our original intention was to go for supper before heading home, there was a change of plans because I was still so full from my Reunion Dinner. He brought some food as presents for my parents - Pre-packaged carrot cake, HK style, and abalone noodles (Very yummy btw!).We exchanged

I just started work today. YY arrived in Singapore on Chinese New Year (CNY) eve night and we went visiting on Day 1 of CNY. We then departed for Hua Hin and spent 5 days there before returning on Valentine's Day. I sent him off yesterday afternoon. This is the longest period we have spent together and it was difficult for me to adjust again after he left. I miss him by my side.More of Hua Hin

I wonder since when it is that we have become so caught up in our own lives that other people have become merely ornaments. How well do we really know those beside us, those that we are supposedly closest to, be it family or friends. How long has it been since you have a heart-to-heart talk with your parents, siblings or close friend to understand what they are thinking or what's happening in

Pretty Woman was showing on late night movies again last night, after Amercian Idol 4. I had it taped on my video. I never seem to get tired of watching it, no matter how many reruns Channel 5 does of it. Soooooo romantic!

I just completed a picture of YY and revised the flowery header to include him.

My latest haul from the post-Christmas sales, all at 70% off. A pink beaded FCUK top. I love the details on this top although I would have preferred it in black. Too bad my size was sold out for black. Another pink FCUK top with gold trimmings and a cream-colored flowery Warehouse top. So there I have my Chinese New Year outfits settled.
