Wedding preparations

There is indeed alot to prepare for a wedding especially when we are quite short of time.

I am only in charge of a part of it but there is so much coordination involved. I almost felt like i am preparing for my own wedding.

The banquet is one of the most important part of a wedding. The guest list, the menu, the theme, the table arrangements. Of course i am unable to do all these alone, i have the expertise of my parents since they know their friends and our relatives the best.

I have been visiting the hotel quite frequently, twice so far. I viewed the ballroom and is quite pleased with it. As for the decorations, I have left it to the couple since it is afterall their wedding.

The menu has been finalised and we are going for food tasting next week. Next up is the guest list/ table arrangement which is still not quite there.

And the bathrooms renovations in my house is going to start soon too.

Another headache- the dress!! I mean after all the hard work, i still have to look pretty that night isn't it?

$26!!

The most expensive cab fare i have ever paid so far.... plus midnight charge and the prestige cab. And this is considering taxi uncle only on the meter when we are entering the ECP. Otherwise it would be at least $30.

So much money..... i never spend so much on transport before... but this time round i had no choice cos MRT has stopped service and i did not drive.

I can have 1 1/2 weeks of lunch with that amt!

In future, I must try not to stay outside beyond midnight unless i am driving.

Genting 2010

It was a nice trip. Made me forgot some problems during the few days.

Holidays are always a good way to cheer up!

What to do?

My boss's secretary opened up the envelope containing my payslip by mistake.

Now she knows exactly how much i am drawing per month... although she claimed that she did not look closely at the number and she is apolegetic.

So what can i say?

Worst of all, she is on good terms with Ms K. My financial status is now in the "open".

Arrhhhh!

Chinese New Year 2010

This is a very different CNY....

Very different indeed.

The house renovations,
The Genting trip,
The unexpected news,
The subsequent preparations,

amidst all the festive celebration mood.

It is so complex. Or rather i feel so complex.

How to title this post?

I felt like i am enacting a scene from an old movie or drama.

Due to forced circumstances, I was asked to consider giving up my bedroom to someone else. They say it's for mine and the other party good.

I dont blame them but I dont know why i cried and infront of the family. I couldnt help it.

I just felt so sad.....I cried mainly because i felt 委屈. Why do i need to "suffer" when my parents, aunties, cousins love me so much?

Partly also because of sentimental reasons and 舍不得. I have stayed in the same room for almost twenty years. Every corner, every item bears some memories and accompanied me through my teenage, my youth, my university years, MBA days and working life.

I should learn to let go.

mixed feelings

which i dont know how to describe. A little happy, a little worried.. and some part uneasy.

Again...

3rd Quarter results out

Our pay cut would be partially restored.

That's one good news for the new year!

Singapore Airshow 2010

I saw a ball of fire oozing behind a fighter jet during the first day performance.

Another jet that accends almost 90 degrees into the sky and u turn down.

It was magnificent!

Straits Time 4 Feb 2010- This is what i meant:

Sweet dreams?

I had a good dream last night and i am so sad when i woke up and realised that it is not reality.

I dreamt Ms K told me she is going to resign. In my dreams, I was rushing to knock off but i am still very elated to hear that from her.

Muahhaha.... but its only a dream!
