	2004.09.29 13.53 Am using another blog web ANNOUNCEMENT!!! WILL BE USING ANOTHER BLOG SITE TO ENABLE ME TO UPLOAD PHOTOS. http://www.melovepiglet.blogspot.com



	2004.09.28 12.05 The training that I went for at MIDS was a really fruitful one! Learned to make full use of a simple thing/method -- A 'to-do List'. It really helped in my work. And I thought that I was quite organised at my work, but only after doing that simple list, it made me realised how to actually priorities my tons and tons of things to do at the office. At the end of the day, I would look back and really give myself a pat on the back, as I could really see all the stuff I did for the entire day...in another way, it was like telling myself that I have become a much useful person in the office. The next training I went to was a in-house one. Was rather like a team-building session. I was much like a more positive-thinking person after this one. I used to think that going for trainings are really boring and waste of time! Well, it is definitely a time-waster, but it really depends on ourselves -- how we actually look at things...kind of like whether the cup is half empty or half full... My fighting fish died...and I changed to 2 different group of fishes. 1 - guppies, 2 - neons....After about 2 weeks, all my 9 guppies died too...I guess while I was away, my colleagues fed them too much food and the tank was too small to fit so many fishes...However for my neon tank, they survived the 2 weeks, which is a good sign!!! =) I will have to watch more carefully for my fishes...maybe to put them on my 'to-do list'? Mood: determined



	2004.09.08 16.26 An Eventful weekend! I've been so busy lately...just thinking about it makes me so tired! Lessons on Mondays and either Tuesdays or Wednesdays, houseworks, houseworks and more houseworks...it's never ending! I just feel so tired! However, I still love to attend my dance classes. Maybe I am having a too fulfilling life, that's why I feel so tired. Sometimes, I feel that Joel will be angry with me for always not being at home....I do feel bad at times. I still have 7 more hours for my belly dancing. After yesterday's lesson, it would be left with 5 more hours. I do hope that I will be able to finish it real soon. 'cos I hope that I will be able to perform more. MY LORD!!! Maybe it would not be a good idea afterall, as I think that I would have lesser time after that. Maybe it's because of all the travelling time that's making me feel tired. On my Monday ballet classes, I feel tired too, coz of the travelling time definately! I have to travel 1 hour back home everytime. By the time I actually reach home, it will be already 9plus. SIGH Travelling cost for me is a bomb now too. It's almost double the amount compared to the last time when I stayed in Jurong.....AHHH!!!! What am I to do? I need a solution! Let's talk about the events that happened for the past few days. 29th August 2004: Comex Exhibition 2004 It was such a peck Marina downtown over the weekend. Almost 90% of the carparks are full and we were not able to get a parking after many tries! We had to park at the Marina carpark from the Pan Pacific Hotel entrance. Due to the renovation works in Marina Square, we had to walk a big round to the long-waited Commex show....It was my first time seeing Joel buying something from a PC show; and boy, was he fast! We managed to get our Canon printer and TV card, as well as meeting up with some of the ex-Creative staff. Decided to go to Carrefour to get our shoe rack, however, we could not find it anymore and bought a drill for the house in the end. After all crowd-squeezing, and the big round-about, we merged to get to our car, feeling really exhausted! What an experience to the Comex! Moral of the story: 1) Get to the PC show early! (Show off your Singapore spirit) 2) DO NOT GO ON THE LAST DAY! (However, all the last bargains only happens on the last day!) 3) Use public transport. (Maybe a cab would help!) 4th September 2004: Joel's Birthday Surprise 1: KBox adventure I've managed to lure him to Lot 1 KBox on Friday night! I think he was surprised...A treat to KBox was the 1st surprise from me. (however, not in the initial plan) We sang our private concert in room 39 for almost 3 hours (9pm to 12 plus) My my! What a way to spend $23+++ per pax on a friday night. We were actually given till 3am. I mean...how long can you actually sing? We really enjoyed ourselves truely, just singing, singing and more singing! Ha!!! Surprise 2: The Angie-The-Choice-Ice-Cream Cake I was beginning to worry if the cake would actually arrive before the state timing or even worse...whether it will be delivered! And atlast!!! It arrived at 5pm after much anticipation. I made 'the sleeping joel' wake up and receive the cake. It definately made him smile...I think!? Review of the cake: Okay...so-so lah! I mean what can you acutally get from 37 bucks, compared to 45 bucks per kg from Swensons... Surprise 3: Jack's Place Delight It was meant to be a surprise, but somehow, he managed to guess it! :-/ Maybe it was because I made him drive...When we reached Jack's Place @ Orchard, it was packed with people at the main door. Thank God for reservations. We managed to settle down right under 5 minutes. The wine came, followed by the soup, starters, bread, main course and finally, another birthday cake...this time, a small one - a brownie with ice-cream and a lighted candle. It was a really nice dinner...and we were both full till our necks! What a day full of delights and surprises! I definately had my share of fun too! :) Mood: busy*



	2004.08.27 10.49 It's such an irony... There are so many animals in this world. Today, my topic will be on dogs. It's an irony that a dog can lead so many different kinds of life. If it happens to live in a rich family, it may be the world's fullest dog, but it may not be the happiest dog. If it happens to live on the streets, no longer with any owners to take care of it, it will have to find its own food, shelter. However, it has all its freedom it can find and maybe it feels that it is the happiest dog on earth. It has been a really tough week for Joel, Cherry and me, especially in the nights for the whole week! Thank God it's Friday today! Cherry has been barking the whole night on Wednesday. I could not help it but wack her with a cane. For every 2 hours, she barked and whinned, wanting attention from us the whole night! Believe me, my dark eye rings have gotten worse since her operation. She is just like a new born, wanting milk every 2 hours! For me, Wednesday night was a nightmare - the worst nightmare for the both of us (Cherry and me). I really whacked her hard in the bottom, to keep her whinning down. We were really scared that she would wake the neighbours up in the wee hours of the morning, just before daybreak! I was REALLY UPSET! However, the whole of Thursday, I felt depressed and really regretted beating her so hard. I decided to let her win the battle and allow her to sleep in our bedroom after discussing with Joel. He agreed too. Yesterday, she must be wondering how she was asked to follow us to our bedroom. She kept wanting to go back to the balcony. Whatever it was, I'm sure that it was a better idea for everyone, including the dog! She barked no more and I think that she will be a much happier dog! Mood: tired



	2004.08.18 13.09 It's Cherry's Birthday today and as well as....her sterialise.... I've just received an sms from hubby about Cherry.... The vet says that she is okay now. He is on leave, so will go pick her up at 4pm. PHEW!!! I was actually quite worried about the operation. Thank God she's okay! t I wore a white, tiny flora spegati dress to work today...and guess what...Many people asked if I was pregnent?! I guess I should not wear this dress again, till I'm really having a baby...(must be after the wedding, everyone starts to wonder...)Anyway, if situations allowed, I would definately don't mind to have a baby... I guess that I'm ready physically and mentally. Oh, back to Cherry...It's her birthday as well today. 1 Year old! 18th of August... I think I will buy her a pandan cake, to celebrate for her! SHE IS SO CUTE!!! Think I will update again later. Mood: full



	2004.08.17 16.49 YIPPY! I've finally pulled through the day....with all the mass mailing, and the daily stuff at work! Hallelujah!!!! Mood: satisfied



	2004.08.17 13.35 What a mid-day passed! I'm feeling very easily aggitated today. I don't know why... _ Below is my encounter for half the day... Woke up before the alarm rang...(prob that's why the aggitation came from)Hmmm....Cherry was barking and making those noises again...(well, those who are thinking of getting a puppy, you will have to go through this stage of sleepless nights....) Then, I brought her down for her morning "release" walks, which is just 5 minutes. Did all the morning routines after that and went to work. That's where the next encounter happened... I was reading my favourite author, Steel's Lone Eagle on the MRT and I kept hearding "de de de..." and went on and on and on! I looked up and saw an indian lady (very inconsiderate! and very rude!!) = Well, not that I'm racist or what; but she was really irritating!!! Many people looked up from where they were and there was one lady who actually asked her to switch off her mobile's key-pad tone. She just simply ignored and continuing 'deeing' away. She was really destracting man!!! Finally, from Admarity to Dhoby Ghaut, she got off!!! HURRAY!!! u YEAPPY!!!! When I got to the office, I was late as usual. My colleague, asked for a file, and I could not find it! Really pisses me off when this situation happens. Another 30 mins was gone from finding that stupid file. SIGH WHAT a day!!! However, about yesterday's ballet class...my friend, Michelle's boyfriend fetched us to YMCA. So sweet of him to do that. Thank you Jason! The lesson was mostly on stretching and the correct way of pointing and turn outs...it definately brought back many memories... In fact, I can't wait for the next lesson, to do the actual bar-work! It was really nice to wear the leotard, tights, the ballet skirt I made myself and my ballet shoes... I always have this thing with ballet shoes. I always think that they are one of the most girly things on earth and especially those in pink! I just love ballet! It's gonna be a really busy afternoon for me! However, I WILL PULL THROUGH!!! Mood: annoyed



	2004.08.16 13.00 It's a boring Monday...and I'm already broke! Today is Monday again...as usual, on Mondays, the 'working mentality' is not working on me yet... Think that my mind is still thinking about holidays, weekends. And that reminds me that we would not have any holidays till November... (sigh). In fact, in November, we would have 2 holidays close by to each other. I think that many people will be clearing their annual leave on that period. (just imagine that you will get 6 days off, including weekends, by just taking 2 days leave...unfortunately, I have no more annual leave already! They are all TAKEN UP by my wedding and honeymoon to Korea, so I guess that I will just have to be a good girl and go to work...thinking about this already makes me so xianz...) Monday morning in the office is really quiet. Most of the executives are out for meetings. And right now, it's lunch time and again, I'm listening to Jay's songs on repeat mode...haha...(guess my friend, Selene will be damn happy to hear this man!) I took Cherry, my pug out for her morning release at 7 in the morning today. I came to realise that she is such a lovely dog to have. Ever since the last time we brought her to our house, she really learnt very fast that at night is her bed-time and she should not bark to get our attention while we are sleeping. She has been really good! I made her a patchwork pillow for her to sleep, on Saturday night (sewed till 1am). I think that she loves it cause she sat on it immediately when I gave it to her! She is just so cute, just like a baby... Talking about being broke at this time of the month...I've never been as broke as this month. Don't know why...all the money seem to be gone after we have our new house...I'm sure that those who are just married and got their new house will definately understand what I'm talking about! Also, can't wait to my long-awaited ballet classes tonight. & Mood: bored



	2004.08.15 16.11 The pug is tired!!! Cherry(our pug) is lying down beside our chair, in the study room. She is really tired today, I think, coz we just brought her to Bishan Park for a walk and it started to pour after the walk. Well, we are trying to let her slim down, coz she is really FAT!!!! w (just like a piglet, esp. when she snores) I think that she has too much fat, so she practically just makes that snoring sound. Hahaha... It is a lazy Sunday today. I was so tired that I just went back to sleep in the afternoon. We cooked pancakes, eggs and hashbrowns for breakfast today. (Actually, I wonder how many people cook on Sunday mornings...but on budget now, so have to do your own cooking). Back to Cherry...she will be having her operation on Wednesday, so she will be staying at our house till Wed, before going back to my mom-in-law's place. So, I'm gonna enjoy her company till Wed, and after staying at my MIL's place(maybe 2 weeks or more??) after her operation, she will be permanently staying at our place for good! v



	2004.08.13 16.38 It's Friday the 13th today! Jay's NEW Album cd is on repeat mode now!!! It's a fantastic album! (all thanks to my friend, Selene, recommending it to me v). However, listening to his songs make me wanna cry so much, not because I feel sad or what, but just because ALL his songs are so touching and all the lyrics are just like a poem....He is SUCH a genuis!!!! Today is Friday the 13th! There are some people who love the number 13, despite some who thinks that it's an unlucky number. My bro, for example is born on the 13th (I think that it's on a friday as well), HE LOVES THE NUMBER 13. I remember that in his school's ruby team, his jessey has the number 13 on top and he always thinks that the number 13 brings him lots of luck. Talking about my brother, he's in Bangkok right now! Actually I miss him after my wedding. I actually miss those times when we talk till late in those wee hours, in his cosy room. We would talk about anything and everything that was on our minds then...however, those were already memories deep in our past. No longer do I have the chance to confine in him those problems of mine, nor seek him advise about my doubts... I really miss those times! Well, back to the topic. Some people really think that it'd be an unlucky day today. For me, I do hope that nothing bad will happen to me though... o However, something happened today that really brightened my day! My new colleague, Lynnie, showed us (Irene and I) how to do our eyebrowns, eyeshadow and blusher today!!! It was such an exciting time for the 3 of us during lunch time as we had so much fun in the IT room... haha...I sort of have a clearer picture of using make up on the upper side of my face now. v Later, I will be registering for my ballet lessons...Let's hope that this time, I will be able to do at least 2 spins in 1 go. I remember that the last time, I was not able to. I would have to practise real hard this time. And hopefully, my teacher remembers me. </p> Oh yes, I have a belly dancing night today in my belly dancing teacher's house....Hopefully, I will be able to get some orders for the costumes. Keeping my fingers cross hard!!! Mood: energetic



	2004.08.12 14.11 It's my first online journal... This is all new to me and I hope that I will continue this jornal thingy... Recently, I've just got married and had my first taste of married life. People always ask what married life is like, but I think that to answer that question, you have to be married in the first place! Well, the answer to this question for me is that it's really different! You have to do everything by yourself just because of one simple reason and that is you have to account for nobody (prob. just your hubby) and yourself! Life is such a letdown when you allow it to be, but it also gives you full of surprises too. Today as I look up into the sky and see the sun, I told myself that it's gonna be a new beginning for me. The way I think and do things...guess in life we all have to set our piorities right! Also, time is also one thing that is never enough. Whenever Joel, my hubby and I reach home, it seems that we're both always rushing for time - time for housework, television, playing pc games(hubby), cooking, etc...Time is NEVER enough after you get married. You sleep and wake up again doing the same things everyday and rushing for time again. Therefore, I told myself that I had to have a new thinking in my own life. I started to go to the library recently and borrowed my favourite author---Denielle Steel. She always gives me the feeling of being love and reminding me to love that special somebody. I love you dear! The other thing that I will set myself to do is to continue my dance classes. Am looking forward to join back the ballet classes that was long forgotten a couple of years back; Monday is the day! It's a new beginning for me!
