The Story of Joyce & Simon

1 week+ passed..

2010-07-29T19:59:00.000-07:00

It had been a week since my last job interview.. During the interview, they are telling me that I will be able to know the result of the interview in 1 to 2 weeks time.. But now, 1 week pass.. coming to 2 weeks... Does it means that I had failed to be recuited into their company?? The feeling is so so scary.. I simply hate waiting.. Though this is not the 1st time.. but it is the 1st time i wanted to get out of a company damn badly... I am seriously praying hard to be recruited to some big and gd company..

My ex-boss is telling me that the company's working style is SLOW... so I need to be patient.. maybe they will let me know the result in 2 weeks time exactly.. I know they will definately let me know but I wish for a good result.. I hope my patient will not be equals to zero.. I wish for a call rather than an e-mail...

Another friend is telling me maybe no chance already.. Cos if they really need me, they will let me know within a week rather then 2 weeks.. After hearing this, my heart sunk once again..

My hubby is telling me they will call me by 2 weeks time... I trust him but who will exactly know the outcome? It is all predictions.. Doesn't mean it will come true... I am getting rather emo nowadays.. Applied for nearly 10 jobs but only 1 interview till now.. It is so so depressing...

Therefore, I am telling myself.. If I can't get this job, I will send out resumes once again.. No matter what, I must get a gd job.. I wanna learn new things.. new responsible.. I won't because of 1 failure, will not climb up once again... I will try my very best... I am hoping my luck will return to me...

*praying* real hard!!

Interview and Updates!!

2010-07-22T01:28:00.000-07:00

After applying jobs for so long... Finally a company called me up for an interview for the post of Senior HR Officer.. It is a big jump for me if I am successful given the position but it is Ministry again... haha... What a life.. Am I really fated to work in Ministry rather than Stat Board.. haha..

The interview was OK but the feeling of the interviewer were not very right... Just hoping to get the job soon and get out of this cold place.. I am really prayer super hard.. Crossing finger too..

Oh ya.. Baby Mal flip over on his own on 18 Jul, Sun, (4 mths 28 days).. It is really surprising.. ON 17 Jul, brought him to Uncle Lim for his final 6-in-1 jab and Rotavirus 2nd dose.. He is super brave, just let out a crying sound and that is.. Still smiling to Uncle Lim.. as though he is playing with him...

Baby Mal really bring alot of joy to the family.. Everyone loves him so much.. Even the NTUC aunties love him... NOw Baby Mal will smile at anyone.. He is a lovely and cheerful boy.. When he wants milk, he will say nan-nan, shitting time will say ng-ng, when see us, will say ha-loo.. super-duper cute la.. He progress real fast.. He had even learnt how his Gong Gong (my dad) rubbing both his feet.. and this naughty boy of ours spolit the little fan.. he pull and broke the peddles... aiyoz... he is destoryer.. haha..

Bro going to UK for 1 month / My new working environment

2010-07-08T19:43:00.000-07:00

My bro with be going to UK starting from tmorrow morning (10 Jul 2010, 1.40am) for 1 month and will be back on 8 Ang 2010, 9pm. Other then sailing for 2 months (the longest sailing) during his NS days, this will be the only internship for him for 1 month overseas.. I am really proud of him.. From a Sec 5 student to poly grad to a baclehor grad.. maybe even a master degree.. I am hoping after his grad next yr June, he will be able to find a good job of his choice with gd salary. Yesterday he came to my house to visit us before he fly off.. Played with baby for quite sometime and I think baby Mal recognise him now...

p/s: Boy, i know you will be reading here.. Please take good care of yourself over at UK.. Do either call, sms or email us to let us know about your safety there.. Dun worry, whenever we are free, we will be dropping by to see your mummy.. I will bring baby Mal along.. Take lots of photos for you to see.. Remember to let us know if u need anything there from here.. Last but not least, remember to buy the things I asked you to buy and bring surprises back to us k..haha.. See ya next month when you are back!! Muackie....

Haiz.. my new working environment sucks.. I have being seconded to a private limited company to be an executive.. Although the job scope listed during the ad was damn lot, but when I get to know, I had a feeling of getting cheat.. The job scope here is even worst then my previous place.. The working environment is ok becos there is typically no 1 in the office of some days or only my 2 colleagues and myself in the office almost everyday. My job scope here is surfing the net from 8.30am to 6pm everyday, occasionally boiling water, send out claims and put up air tickets procedures for them when they are flying (normally they fly onces every 3 months).. My job is so free here.. I am growing mushroom n spider web all over now.. It is a total wasting my time working here.. I rather spend the time at home accompany baby Mal, at least I can watch him progress everyday and keep him accompany and bring him out for shopping.

Hence, I am actively looking for another better job.. Salary could be the same as now! I am waiting for calls now for any interview and hope I can find a new job within 3 months from my start of work.. If not, I am going to resign in early Sept to be a stay-home mum until i manage to find job of my liking but I hope this will not be the case as I really eager to learn new things and I need $$ now..

p/s: Opporunity, opporunity, pls come knock on my door once again... *praying real hard* :(

Hong Kong Trip 2010 with the peeps (22/05/2010 - 25/05/2010)

2010-06-01T23:11:00.000-07:00

Once again, after 1 1/2 yrs, I am back to my overseas trip.. Super reluctant to put baby at home but my overseas kick is back.. My aim for this trip is to relax and bring things for baby and myself.. My peeps for this trip is the usual people who go shopping with us every now and than.. So happy..

The 4 of us @ the airport early in the morning @ 5am having our breakfast.

We took United Airline and the breakfast is so disappointing.. they only serve nice breakfast to their business class and first class customer but we taking economy was given boxes like the above.. Disppointed...
For more pics, please view photos from my FB as there are too much photos to be uploaded here and it is taking year..

After this trip... I will be starting on my now job.. Hoping everything will goes well if not, I will not hestitate to change job again.. Keeping finger cross now..

2010 Birthday!!

2010-05-06T20:52:00.001-07:00

Wohoo... I am 25 yrs old this year.. Kinda old but luckily I have a good hubbie to pamper on me and a cute baby to cuddle on..

Hubbie surprised me by buying my favourite chocolate cake for my birthday and celebrated with me at 12 o-clock sharp where everyone in the house is sound asleep.. This should be the second time hubbie did this.. Happy happy.. but cannot let him know cos maybe he would do it next year.. shh...hehe

Before going out for my birthday dinner.. Hubbie finally manage to take a nice pic with baby.. Do they look alike?? or like brother only...

A beautiful family pic before we head out for our dinner..

Favourite pic of the day..

Last but not least, a pic of me after giving birth to baby @ Mandai Orchid Resturant. Food there is good and super reasonable..

Baby Mal is 7 weeks old!!

2010-04-09T00:58:00.000-07:00

Baby Mal is growing up fast.. His attitude and features changes as he grows up.. He is drinking 4 ozs of milk every 2 to 3 hrs but at night, the milk can last him till 4 hrs sometime..

He is very cranky after having his 6-in-1 jab on Monday (5 Apr) and had a slight fever for 2 days.. So poor thing.. But luckily, he still drank his favourite milk milk.. The jabs cost me $308.. So expensive.. cant claim the whole sum.. The next jab will be on his 3rd month..

When Baby Mal is awake and not crying, he can be very 可爱，but if he is crying non-stop without any reasons, he is damn 可恶. Haiz.. and 1 more thing, wherever he goes, he sure put put at the place eventhough he had put put in the morning b4 bath..but afterall, he is still my adorable baby.. love him so much..

And myself, I have being finding jobs now.. Hope I can go through the interview next week and change the job and working environment.. The working environment now is damn terrible.. back stabbing everywhere.. So sian.. Though i know there is office politics anywhere, I would still want to learn new things and hope the work environment will be better.. Wish me luck man..

Ok.. pictures time again...

Little Malcom's Baby Shower!!

2010-03-22T22:18:00.000-07:00

We held a small celebration to celebrate Bb Mal's 1st month at my house. Though we say it is a celebration, but it is also a gathering for friends whom we didn't meet for a long time. The most common phrase I heard for the day:" Baby Mal looks like your hubby/Simon/Qinghui!" Aiyo.. Is it true? My baby do not look like me? Haiz.. but nevermind.. Baby Mal is still my beloved.. I would like to thank all relatives and friends for attending and their generocity.. Baby Mal received alot of presents and ang baos..

4 more days to Bb 1st month..

2010-03-15T23:34:00.000-07:00

Time flies.. 4 more days to little Mal's baby shower.. During these 26 days with little Mal, I realised he changed quite abit.. even his temper.. He will get cracky if our movements are not fast enough.. Eg. when he is hungry, no 1 craddle him, etc.. But overall, he is our cute baby, our love, our everything! Seems that people around us love him so much.. especially my mum and dad.. love him like nobody business.. haha..

Brought him down to NTUC yesterday to do some shopping and we noticed that he is a curious baby.. like to look around even-though it is his napping time.. So cute.. he can be those auntie-killer already..

Pictures time again...

First Tears Droplet

2010-03-08T21:10:00.000-08:00

While mummy went out to do some shopping, Bb Malcom cried.. It is almost the 1st time i coax him and feed him with water.. But still not very successful be'cos he still cry despite of all the coaxing.. But I am already contented be'cos I finally step out the 1st step..

Really feel that he grow up so fast.. Neck is quite stable.. Alot of strength, etc... Now he wants us to hug onto him till he sleep orelse he will be cracky..

Finally, I manage to get some nice photo of Bb Malcom:

Bb Mal is back home!!

2010-03-08T00:26:00.000-08:00

Baby Malcom is back home with us for 4 days already.. 1st night is really tiring for us as Bb stil unfamilar with the place, he kept waking up at night.. Hubby will see him and talk to him whenever he made any noise.. 2nd day, mummy and daddy decided to put Bb in their room in order to allow me and hubby to have a good night sleep.. I can really say that mummy is good at taking care of infant and small kids.. She knows exactly when to do the things.. I really apprepriate both mummy's and daddy's help..

As for me, I did not really help out in anything due to I am still in my confinement period.. They do not really allow me to touch water (means no washing of things and hands that often). And I am still recovering from my stitches, I cannot carry heavy things as well, means I cant carry Bb that often plus I do not have the strength yet.. I NEED to recover well 1st before I can help out..

Bb Malcom's jaundice is still high due to his G6PD.. So poor-thing.. Almost everyday need to go polyclinic to draw blood to check.. But I know he is a strong boy... I cant give him breast milk as well be'cos we are afraid the milk will increase the jaundice level.. Therefore, I am storing bottles of milk till he recovers..

I will be busy for the next 2 weeks as I need to prepare Bb's full month.. Will be sending out invitation by this week and doing confirmation... But at the same time.. I stil need plenty of rest (excuses only)... Friends will be getting invitation either through SMS or Facebook.. Pls respond k.. Hope to see u guys soon...

Suppose to have my routine check-up at AMK KKH on Sat (20 Feb 2010) at 8.30am. But who knows, around 2am, something happened...

8am: Reached KKH

8.30am: Finished registration and sent into a room for CTG

9am: 2 senior staff nurse came in to check for my dilation be'cos my gynea can't come in on time and I am having regular contration of 4 minutes: 1 minutes

9.30am: Been sent into delivery ward as my dilation is 4-5cm already

11.20am: Ask for epidural from mid-wife but too late, 9 cm dilated

12.20pm: Gynea finally arrived and I gave the last push

38 weeks

2010-02-16T23:48:00.000-08:00

I am officially on Maternity Leave and into 38 weeks of preggy stage.. I am counting down to seeing my boy.. Could it be anytime soon, or this coming weekend or on the actual day itself.. I am feeling both excited and scared.. But luckily, I had my family members and friends around to support me throughout this period of time..

Going to see Dr Tham again this Sat.. If bb hits 3.5kg.. going to induce.. Haiz.. But lets hope everything is fine and I dun need to induce bb out.. But I will listen to Dr Tham's advice..

We are just patiently waiting and counting down to the arrival of my lil' one..

37 weeks 3 days @ AMK KKH Clinic

2010-02-13T01:23:00.000-08:00

Waited to see Dr Tham at the clinic for nearly 1 hr.. Told him i am experiencing abit of tummy pain last night before slping.. He checked for my dilation and I am yet to dilate.. He hooked me onto CTG to check for contraction as well.. So it could be just fake contraction..

Bb is already in good position (head down and facing inwards) but not yet engaged.. According to Dr Tham, Bb engage is when mummy will feel a sudden Bb moving downwards to the birth canel but not painful.. And ya. I am tested positive for GBS stip B.. I need to take antibotics for 5 days and drips on the delivery day itself... So for now.. I need to be patient, Patient & PATIENT.. waiting for Bb's arrival..

My weight had decreased by 1.5kg but Bb's weight had increase by 200g.. So strange.. Therefore, for this new year.. I cant eat much but in moderation only.. But for the seek of my Bb, I WILL... I had also sign up to store Bb's cord-blood at Cordlife Banking.. Though it is expensive.. for the seek of baby again.. we are willing to spend the money!!

Bb weight: 3327g

37 weeks check-up @ The Private Suite

2010-02-09T16:05:00.000-08:00

What a experience at TPS on 9 February 2010! The cost too increase when doing check-up at TPS as the facilities and services provided is different from the other clinics. They are good and professional.

Waited for nearly 2 hrs before seeing Dr Tham.. Complaint to him about the waiting time and he also complaint about Bb's weight now.. Headache.. Headache... Cutting down eating habit don't seems to be enough for me.. From the last check-up till now (4 weeks back @33 weeks), I had gained 3 kg and Bb gained 500g - 800g.. So I am wondering now, the food goes mostly to me or Bb now.. So scared to go check-up now!!

Firstly, Dr Tham did the GBS test for me which he stick 2 sticks into me to collect sample to check for bateria before delivering.. He is very assurring to me that if I cooperate with him, I will not feel at pain.. True enough.. No PAIN but just uncomfortable thereafter.. Secondly, he used his new machine to scan Bb and it is the 1st time, he gave us a 3D photo of Bb.. So amazing.. According to mummy and hubby.. Bb look like me.. Happy..HaPpY.. HAPPY!! Thirdly, we booked for A1 premier package for the day of my delivery.. Deposit around $2080 after a deduction of Medisave $2100. But total bill could goes up to around $5100. I hope during that time, I could see Dr Tham around all the time when I needed him because he would be a assurance to me!

My next check-up will be 13 Feb 2010 (Chu-xi).. Hope everything will be fine and I can have my reuion dinner peacefully before Bb decided to come out...

Total Damage for the day: $128 + $2100 = $2228

Bb's weight: 2.8kg - 3.1kg

36 weeks

2010-01-31T16:49:00.000-08:00

Time flies.. I am left with 2 - 4 weeks of enjoying bb in my tummy.. I really think I will miss the feeling of him in my tummy punching, swimming, kicking and doing all sort of stunts.. I am feeling both myself and bb getting heavier for the past 3 weeks.. Could it be supper at night? I really do not know.. I simply cant control sometime.. It is not OUR wish to have supper.. haha..

I am having swollen legs for 2 weeks and crampy legs for 2 days.. I do not know how long I can withstand the pain of my legs now.. But no matter what happen, I still need to exercise and keep walking with minimum speed in order to have a smooth delivery (heard from old ppl).. I am so worried now about giving birth fast and pro-naturally..

To be honest, I am scare of needles and pain.. I do not know how high is my tolerence of pain now.. When the date get nearer.. I am getting scare.. I know all women will go through labour pain, but i simply cant imgine I am going through myself now in about 2 - 3 weeks time.. But I am hoping to see my boy soon~~

Working is getting worst.. very tiring and having the feeling of not coming in to work everyday.. But I don't think I can.. Work is piling up everyday eventhough I had passed some workload off me.. Therefore, getting MCs for me should be quite ideal as I wanted to keep my leave for my future usage after I tender in the near future..

I dare not think of changing job now but just thinking of delivering my boy.. But I know for sure 1 thing, my hubby will be always there for me!!!

33 Weeks check-up

2010-01-18T06:06:00.001-08:00

Check-up is great.. It is always a assurance to me by Dr Tham.. Bb is doing great and position is good. Head is going down now. But Bb did not co-opearate with us this time round.. keep using his hand to cover and rub his face.. Haiz.. this time round, no nice photos from him.. Still the same, Dr Tham commented that Bb is big and I need to stop all cakes, chocolate, and ice-cream. But to some webby and books I read, Bb weight is acceptable at this stage.. So that means Dr Tham do not like big babies.. haha... but i will still listen to him to cut down those food if I wanted a smooth and quick delivery..

My next check-up will be on 9 Feb 2010, at the Private Suite.. Checking for dilation and all those checks I had never being before.. Kind of scare and excited at the same time.. But everything seems so quick and scary.. After check-up, hubby say may celebrate Valentine Day.. It may sounds early but to us, it could be the only time to celebrate..haha..

Bb weight: B/w 2.25-2.3kg

On Leave!!

2010-01-14T00:18:00.000-08:00

Wow.. nv thought of staying at home on a weekday is so so good.. Partly, i am lazy and tired of going to work today.. But most of all. my legs are swollen and having cramps.. Wow.. not a joke.. cramping feeling for 2 days.. Luckily tomolo is already Friday.. Work till 4.30 can go home..

Be'cos I am having my boi now, mummy, daddy and hubby nv nag at me for not going to work tat often.. If not.. my ear is gonna be big.. As usual. boi boi is very active.. he is getting so cute even though cant see him yet.. I think I will miss the feeling of him in my tummy when he is out..Counting down... nearly 1 more month to go than can see boi boi.. I hope i can cope both in giving birth and taking care of him..

Early in the morning.. received a sms from my dear Sharon.. Her mum passed away in the morning around 12.40am..
" Ger, u must be strong now.. Sorry that i cant attend the wake but I make sure CH go and send my consodolence to u.. Pls do give me a call when u r in need of people to tok.. do not keep everything to yourself.. Pls meet me after everything is settled"

After having breakfast and going home time, so many police under my blk.. condon the whole area.. Aiyo.. someone jump off from the building but dunno which floor.. haiz...

Wat a day to stay at home today but I simply like the feeling of staying at home now cos it is the only time i can rest before giving birth.. but my maternity only start on 17 feb.. so looking towards it..

With lov,
Joyce

OGTT test on 28 Dec 2009

2009-12-30T06:18:00.000-08:00

Finally the test was over and I gain back my taste bud...

When I reached KKH about 8.50am, I waited for nearly 30 mins for my turn to take blood.. During the process of taking blood, I wanted to make some enquiry about diabetic, therefore, I started to asked the nurse some questions.. But surprisingly, the stupid nurse asked my to shut-up and asked me to listen to her instructions instead and she is so rough during the process of taking my blood.. She told me she will be taking about 1 tablespoon of blood but in the end, she took 1 tube.. Ouch.. pain~~ Followed-by drinking 1 big cup of glucose drink.. she warned me not to vomit, if not, I need to retake the whole test again.. The drink is so so terrible~~ The sweetness cant be imgaine.. Luckily dar is there to accompany me through..

Waited for nearly 2 hrs to take blood again.. This time round, she is even worst, she took my blood next to the 1st time, somemore so rough.. ! whole tube again.. Somemore she can tell me after taking blood, she said I did not stop the wound properly and will turn blue-black the next day.. But luckily, till today, the wound do not have any blue-black, if not I am going to complaint to my gynea..

Now, I am waiting for the test result.. According to the stupid nurse, the test result will be out in 2 days time.. If KKH called me before 31 Dec, means I had diabetic, if not, my gynea will tell me more on my next visit..

Therefore, I hope nothing goes wrong, the hospital do not call me and am crossing my finger cross~~ :x

2009-12-20T16:32:00.000-08:00

Wow... according to Dr Tham, bb is growing real well and taking in all the good nutriention from my intake.. One main problem now: Bb could be overweight! His minimum weight is 1.2kg and maximum weight is 1.5kg and I maybe get Diabetic due to bb overweight! Upon hearing this, my heart sunk.. I am thinking to myself: how could this things happen?? I am controlling my diet from my last check-up 5 weeks ago and I only gain 1.7 kg.. So now, I need to go to KKH for OGTT and take 2 times of blood.. Though it is not confirm but this is still a precaution.. hiaz..

Date: 28 Dec 2009 (my wedding anniversary but stil need to take blood)
Venue: KKH
TIme: 9am - 11am

Things to do to prevent high sugar intake: NO CAKES, ICE-CREAM, CHOCOLATE till bb is born. Gonna forgo these food for 2 months from now!! The food i gotta take now is FISH,LEAN MEAT, VEG AND RICE/POTATO! Though this is a difficult time for me, but for the seek of bb, I am going to perserver during this period of time as I want my bb to be a healthy bb!!

Will hubby accompany me for the blood test?? Praying hard...

Hubby's & Bro B'day Treats

2009-12-20T16:26:00.000-08:00

This is a long overdue entry...

No big presents nor grand celebration this year due to tight budget, therefore only treated hubby and bro at One Rochester on 6 Decemeber, Sunday. Though it is a simple dinner, the food there is superb but price is at the high end. I really hope both of them enjoyed the dinner and wishing them all the best in the upcoming year (2010)!

It had been so long since my family went out together.. Daddy brought us to a dinner treat at 'No Sign Board' chinese restaurant. The food there is fantastic.. In order to save trouble of thinking what to eat, daddy order the 4 person set meal which cost him $268++.. So expensive but nvm.. his bonus is more than ours.. haha.. After dinner.. when to Kidstyle to buy dar's friend baby 1st month prezzie then went to Spring maternity to buy 2 of my tops.. Then home-sweet-home as daddy having tooth-ache!

CIP cum Healthy Lifestyle!!

2009-11-25T15:46:00.001-08:00

Reached school around the same time this morning.. But something special.. All of us went for beach cleaning @ East Coast Park.. As I thought the weather would be bad in the morning.. But somehow, when we are nearing to ECP.. The sun grow brighter and hotter..

We met the person-in-charge and he distributed yellow thrash bags and gloves for us.. We manage to pick up litters starting from the bench part at carpark G.. The weather is so hot but I stil manage to join in and pick up the litter.. Bent.. Bent.. Walk.. Walk... As we finished picking the litter and thought the bus uncle is stil around the area to pick us up for branch.. He left for yishun.. No choice.. To stop our hunger and thirst.. we walked all the way from carpark G to carpark C.. A total of 7 km excluding the distance of our picking up of litters.. If added up.. the total distance we walked is about 8km.. So I manage to completed the 8km within 11/2 hr to have my lunch at Burger King.. I am so so hungry.. so is Bb..

Hicupped or Moving??

2009-11-18T21:33:00.000-08:00

Bb has being moving actively these few days..

But today... I simply cant recognise whether is it his hi-cupped or moving.. It started since morning 6 when hubby hp rang.. The movement is like it will last for 5-10 mins with the same rhythem.. Then calm down.. Then started with his boxcerise... Around 11+, he started again...The same rhythem..

Hi-cupped: tummy wont be moving.. but just the feeling..
Kicking, punching: tummy will be moving up-down-side..

So I am confused.. I dunno what is what now..haha... I am a confused mummy...

And I am gotta find out soon!!!

25th week Check-up (14 Nov)

2009-11-15T18:16:00.000-08:00

Yeppie... went checkup at AMK KK Women Clinic at AMK.. Though we are late.. the clinic is so empty unlike other times..

Dr Ben. Tham told us about the progress of BB.. Everything is ok but the weight is on a higher side.. Means.. BB is going to overweight any time.. "Wah" is the impression hubby and I made.. I don't seems to gain alot of it seems that all the nutrition had gone to BB.. haha.. By right.. the weight of a baby should not exceed 800g by 25th week... But our precious weighs 787g.. Dr Tham advice me not to eat too much and must control my weight.. The next checkup, my weight should not excedd 2 kg.. I will try hard but its hard...

So... Dr Tham said: " NO ICE-CREAM, NO FRIED FOOD, NO CAKES, NO CHOCOLATES, AND NO DURIAN PUFF!" It is a so hard to resist all these food!! But because of BB.. I must endure.. Haiz.. But i will stil continue eating but cut down of these..

So will be seeing Dr Tham again in 5 weeks time for the next check-up.. Looking forward to it.. Can see my precious moving actively again in the scan!! Though can feel him everyday and night now!!

I rot the whole morning cum half of the afternoon at home while hubby went for basketball game with bro.. Luckily i rest for the day because Saturday reached home nearly 3 am.. Not only I am tired... baby is tired as well.. I rested most of the time when at home, but baby seems not tired.. stil active ... Around evening time.. we when to Chinatown to change Thailand baht for mummy.. Wohoo.. we q for nearly 1 hr before we managed to change the currency.. Lots of China national there and they are so impolit and impatient.. They are giving me a bad impression now... After that... accompany MIL for supper and headed home for more resting...

9 Nov 2009

Hubby and I are not working.. we cleared our Deepavali off-in-lieu.. We went shopping and dinning with our beloved mummy.. Spent quite alot also but its ok, seen I did not go travelling this yr end... No photo for the day cause I am lazy of taking photos... Mummy and I manange to get a gift for ourselves... Toots for the day:

Red belongs to me and brown belong to mummy... Total damage = S$370

The bags are nice and useful... I can even put Malcom's stuff next time... I shall save more for hubby upcoming bday now!!

2009-11-04T02:54:00.000-08:00

I am hearing things today...

Someone is resigning.. wahaha... Finally... we are gotta have peace in the office...

If the news is true... she will be leaving by end of this yr..!!! (we are keeping our fingers cross...)

~On Leave~

2009-11-03T05:00:00.000-08:00

Finally... on leave today... after so much of politics and unhappiness in office... But the fact is that I am having tummyache yesterday.. so might as well take leave to rest and go shopping with mummy today..

The feeling of not working is so so good. If I can afford, I wish i take take the whole of leave and stay at home.. At the same time, go shopping and have high-tea.. Life is like a tai-tai.. But I think is just my wishful thinking after all. I am so into buying clothings for Bb especially rompers.. Rompers are so so cute.. The brand I am going into is Carter's romper.. The quality is good.. I am looking for Old Navy stuff also but no idea where to get it.. maybe only online or needed to go U.S.

Bb is active nowadays.. will wake up at the time I go to work and sleep only when I sleep.. My tummy is like his personal playground..Play as he wants.. I am praying hard that Bb will be cheerful and healthy all the way...

Above is the recent photo of me.. About early 5 months preggie.. I am really fat now and am trying to take photos which do not show my tummy.. But if I have the mood, will show my before and during preggie photo... But not tummy only...

I am now looking forward to meet my sec friends on Friday, friends and ah boi on Saturday and going out with hubby and mummy during my Off-in-Lieu next monday.. :)

unfair... UnFair.... UNFAIR...!!!

2009-10-26T23:42:00.000-07:00

Heard some bad news from boss during lunch time... Our biggest boss wanted her to justify on the blacky beside me so as to push her grading from a D to C... It is so unfair to me.. I had take over her port-folio ever since this year.. had being doing much much things than her... Y must this be my fate?? Do i deserve the same grading as her?? I do not have a sense of job satisfaction in work after hearing these... I really feel like slacking and do not want to do as much things now.. Can I just pass every damn things back to her?? But my greatest fear is that whatever she did, I need to clear up the 'shit' for her... Is she worth it?? I really have alot of questions on these unfairness... Whatever I do... my boss sees it and agreed to it... but I got C just because I just got promoted this year.. But so what?? Does it mean I deserve the same grading as her?? I can only say her 'face' work is really good.. Can some fairness be done to me??

I really want a job change straight after my maternity.. I am hoping to come back to work for 1 week than I tender.. I do not want to stay in this stage at all... I want to get a new job, learn new things and have at least some Job Satisfaction and someone can recognise my work!! I am hoping my prayer can be heard....

2009-10-07T20:45:00.000-07:00

Finally, hubby ask me on our tour vocation next June.. USA? Europe? Japan? Taiwan & HK? Actually wanted to go USA BUT hubby say wanna bring baby along when he is 5 yrs old.. At least he knows what is Disney Land (Mickey Mouse, etc)..So i gotta wait... It shall be our 5 yrs plan for him.. Europe.. I not very interested in the city tour and everything but I am interested in their Branded goods there... It is super duper cheap.. So still considering is Europe the country I really wanted to go? Next is Japan... I am ok to go Japan again.. I wanted to explore the place on my own.. If possible.. Free & Easy.. If not.. Hokkaido? I don't mind at all.. At least I can experience the cool weather in Summer.. If Taiwan & HK.. 2 weeks? haha... It is a place for me to shop, shop, shop! Can buy lots of baby things and our things.. So the planning process is on.. Time for me to do research.. I am so afraid I do not have the time to do research once BB is born.. Goody goody... I am a happy mummy!!

Holi..Holi..Holiday..!!

2009-09-14T19:03:00.000-07:00

I am in office now and had the sudden urge to take leave and go overseas Now and I really mean NOW... It is about time of the every year that dar and me usually travel and it is a MUST.. I really miss holidays now.. Afew nights back, dar suddenly asked me:" After we know the gender of BB, do you want to go HongKong? We can go there to purchase BB things.. It is alot cheaper there.. And we can go to Gucci and shopping at Central..!" After hearing these... I am so so happy but after a second thought, I bet mummy and daddy would agree to it.. So i tell dar to call off the whole idea and save the money for our next yr trip to either Taiwan & HongKong or Japan next June after I have given birth.. I wish to go for holiday for the whole of 2 weeks before started working again.. But I hope I can leave BB out of my sight for 2 weeks.. I know I can leave BB in the safe hands of mummy.. Ok ok.. Enough of complaining and dreaming! Lets have a recap on which countries I had been too with dar so far:-

Taiwan April 2009

Japan Dec 2008 - Jan 2009

I am SICK

2009-09-13T18:46:00.000-07:00

Ever since last Wednesday (090909), I am sick till today.. On Wed, I was having food poisoning after having Brani as dinner.. I don't think I suits indian food at all.. Went to toilet for 4 times and vomited.. This time round is more jialat than my 1st trim, toileting and vomitting at the same time, a total experience.. haha.. really frightened my parents.. I still went working the next day but went to see the doc after work and was given 2 days of MCs.. Western med cant cure me, therefore, mummy bought me to chinese doc the next day (fri).. So till date, I am stil not feeling too well.. keep coughing and have the feeling of vomitting.. To my surprise, when I visited my chinese doc, she is saying that I am having low blood.. wheras everytime I visit my gynae, my blood pressure is normal.. and she oso predicted BB to be a boy... wahaha... lets see how accurate she is when i m going for my routine check-up this coming Sat.. I am looking forward to Sat for my check-up (keeping finger cross again)...

Next, I got to know a sadden news from my parents that my fifth grand-uncle pass away on Thurday (100909), 9.04am.. Eversince my wedding dinner, I didn't manage to see him even th0ugh he is sick.. Needless to say when I get to know I am preggy.. I am feeling so sad and sorry than I get attend the wake, but on the another hand, I felt happy as he need not suffer anyway.. My condolences for the family and all cousins..

We also saw 2 guys challenging Yankee Burger.. wahaha... It is fun examine on people and had taken quite a few photos on that particular night...

2nd Wedding Anniversary (7th Dating Anniversary)

2009-08-20T17:33:00.000-07:00

10 Aug 2009, mark the day of our 2nd wedding anniversary.. So happy as we did not have a chance to celebrate it last year due to busy preparation for our custom wedding.. Hubby had a hard time in choosing a place for dinning because I will vomit on smelling certain food and craving on certain food... So finally, we settle for Straits Kitchen at Hyatt Hotel... Our second time dining at the hotel.. The food is great and it settles my craving once and for all (I mean only for the moment).. I am really satisfied...

Hubby paid $101 for the dinner...

Fatty me!

Part of the variety of food avaliable..

Finally, our nice nice photo ..

Life is Beautiful and Interesting

2009-07-28T17:04:00.000-07:00

Many things had happened for the past few weeks. From the incidents, I can clearly know who are true friends to me who shower me with lots of care and concern. I am feeling glad.. Thanks gers for encouraging me in FB and msn.. I really apprepraiate it very much.. At least I know I still have true friends around me who can be trusted..Thank you so much!! Muackie :>

Everything is over now.. Life is gotta be beautiful and interesting... Nothing is gotta bother me at all.. I shall live my life to the fullest and enjoy in whatever I can...

**Dear friends... pls date me.. It had being quite sometime when I see u.... Wahaha....

Signing off with love,
Joyce

Disapointed Part 2

2009-07-28T04:05:00.001-07:00

Thanks leh... in FB, i dun use my full name and pls dun put words in my mouth.. Pls find out from whoever had FB who start all these comments... Is it me who comments into certain issue or did i just give a general comments. Ever since your last entry, WE ARE NOT LONGER FRIEND.. I dun see the point of pointing out issue and maintaining this friendship anymore.. And, i dun see this as a befriended game, but is a friend destroyer plot. Pls read the FB clearly before saying me at the 1st place. I am so innocent of being accuse. I wanna act pityful next time oso...

Anyway, for ur info my hubby did not say such things in FB.. pls verify before finger pointing again. I keep emphasize tat i did not mention any names in blog, but once again, you mention.. If i didnt say, will any of my friends know who i m refering too? Do you think I do not have any other friends? Anyway, from this incident, i can come to conclusion on why you guys only have a group of friends and will always stick together through thicks and thins.. Tat's all, I m really tired of such things.. Just to tell u, beware that your group of friends had a two-headed snake!

But watever you write or any comment, so be it..

Lets hope god bless u 2 with great blessing with great future ahead...!! We should not meet again and lets be passer-by from now on... Take care and Bye!

Disappointment

2009-07-27T18:22:00.000-07:00

I am utterly disappointed in him... I did not mention any names till date but he did it in his blog... I really state very clearly that I do not need any comments from anyone because it is my blog and it is for me to record events and to state my own opinion here..

But if you really wants to write things till everything including friendship turns ugly, it is your choice now.. I am not going to care anymore.. If anything happens again, pls do not find any of us which includes my hubby...

For your info only, your girl went to tour with us, not as if the 4 of us only, but is i a big group. And she went tour with us is because of YOU, not us.. If she is not willing to go, no one can force her, it is her own leg and mind. Therefore, pls dun say if hate a person, the person wont go out...
ACTING and wanted pityness is the only way out...

And if you think my info is totally wrong, than too bad.. I think you are much clearer than me in anyway because you are her guy! And pls get the info right before you finger point... I knew you read FB and my blog, but pls get things right before typing in anything.. Pls don't be childish and grow up pls... and don'twrite some of the facts wrong and accuse the wrong person!

In conclusion, we treat you as friends thats why we BOTHERED to advise you, if not why would we even give a shit if you wants to jump into the fire pit and if you think we are trying to blow things up by splitting into two groups, then let me tell you very clearly now, FINE...we all wish You all the best..Hence, whatever in future that happens to you and your gf, fcuking solved it URSELF!

P/S: Once again, my blog is for viewing and recording purposes, I do not need comments at all. And if i say i do not need comments, doesnt mean you can write comments on your own blog and pls get the facts clearly 1st... :)

Gathering with Group 2 Friends

2009-07-25T10:36:00.000-07:00

We had a small gathering with Group 2 friends... Sadly, the group of friends had separted into 2 groups due to small issues...

We had a rare guest appearance to update her on the recent issues in the group... We had jokes, laughters, angryness, etc... The conclusion of the day is that:

There shall be always 2 groups separate from 1 big group if they are not gotta change
The victims will always be victims, so will avoid going out in 1 big group
If the another group ppl is not gotta change, they will have fewer friends
Who should be the one who talk to the only guy in that group?
Should we allow the guy to face the biggest problem before we step in?
We are thinking of holding a conference in the upcoming b'day chalet

While discussing on such topics, we had dinner at Waraku and Swensen... What a happy night without been stab at the black... Here comes the photos:

2 Victims & 1 neutral

A Penny of Thoughts...

2009-07-14T08:43:00.000-07:00

1. Dog or Human Being

Hubby had put up in FB : Which is more important, A DOG or A Person?? Saw the comments that there are people choosing dog over a person.. Amazing!! Ok.. To me, a dog can be purchase anytime if the dog die of old age or sickness.. But a person? If a person died, can you buy the person back to life again? All you know for the moment could be crying your heart out and blaming yourself for not accompanying the person longer. I know that to some dog lovers, dog could be their life.. but would you consider the dog be your life-time partner? I really find it funny when a person can choose a dog over a person.. On one hand is the dog, another hand is ur going-to-be your life-time partner, which one would you choose? Does it mean that if the dog is going to die (touch-wood), you are going to give up your partner.. This is the greatest joke I had heard this year other than my office politics... I say this doesnt mean I hate dogs.. I am also a dog lover..But I simply cannot understand some human beings thinking and am sick of such person...

2. Is knowing a person inside out a mistake??

Recently, get to know that a person hate me to core... including hating hubby... Aiyoz... Actually, I knew these from the beginning just somehow guess the reasons wrongly.. Till one fine day, a friend told me the reasons.. I am not sad or angry on the person who hate me, just feel that the person is rather childish.. Therefore, I am asking... knowing a person real well.. Is it a mistake? Shouldn't friends know each other well? Because of me.. hubby had been pulled into this stupid mess.. I really must consider this very carefully... to stay out of this group of friends if there is no need for meet up.. But I will not stop hubby from meeting the guys cos I know they won't do any harm to him.. But I will try to stay away till....

P.S.: I am just penning down my thoughts!! I do not need comments at all.. Do not need to explain or talk things out to me.. I think that I am just tired of all these shitty stuff.. For all I know now, I just need plenty of rest and shouldn't care so much ...

Ministry of Environment and Water Resource

2009-06-18T19:50:00.000-07:00

Haiz... recently went to 2 interviews... 1 with EMA and another with MEWR... Got rejected by EMA but accepted by MEWR. If I am to join MEWR, my role as a Coporate Communication Officer is to deal with lots of feedback and complains by the public. Due to ISO standards, all complains and feedback needs to reply by 3 days.. The worst thing is that in the Coporate Com. department only consist of myself and 1 manage and 1 CEO.. Tat means, no 1 would cover for me when I am on MCs or VLs.. That would be very shiong for me lor.. And 1 more thing... NO MATERNITY LEAVES...
Had a discussion with my boss , daddy, mummy and hubby... All rejected me taking up this post.. They shared a common reason: They do not want to see me suffer there and too stress there..

Conclusion: Rejected MEWR and waiting for other job to knock on my door again....

A Saturday WITHOUT hubby

2009-05-25T17:23:00.000-07:00

As hubby is attending his colleague's wedding @ Novetal, I shall meet up didi... Fetched him @ abt 7pm and he updated me on his recent trip to Taiwan - Kao Xiong and his BGR.. I am wondering when he can bring his ger back home for a dinner and am hoping that this day can come real quickly.. haha...

Ok.. reached Vivo and roam around searching for food for nearly an hour and finally settle for some western restaurant.. Great ambience but poor service.. The waiters and waiteresses would only serve ang mo and ABC but we.. wait long long... If we dun ask for them, I dun think we exist in the restaurant.. Apart from the service, the food is good but not very fantastic but will most likely to bring hubby to that restaurant..

Let the pictures do the talking...

I am realizing that I am growing horizontally now ever since married.. I will work hard to keep slim now... Depressing.... haha... But will continue to have good food.. very contradicting

Looking forward to seeing TCM on Sat and meeting the bunch of friends...!!

Swine Flu Outbreak

2009-05-07T07:51:00.000-07:00

Finally, we had stop taking temperature twice per day after the announcement made through the news yesterday.

The procedure was so tought. Office staff needed to be on shift to be stationed at the foyer to take each visitor's temperature before allowing them into the General Office, therefore, the risk of getting the flu is higher than others. We also needed to rependish the baskets that is distributed to different classes twice a day. Hence, we had increase our work load; so little time yet so much things to do.

So it is a good new to hear that the signal had change from Orange to Yellow... Hence, our work will be back to normal. Yeppie!!

One more thing, I really hope the Swine Flu will go off ASAP as we are planning to go Hong Kong in Aug during our Anniversay... If not, we will book a 3D2N hotel room and stay in Singapore... so boring... Lets keep our finger cross and pray hard. :X

Gotta sleep now... Being drain out these few days..

The Day Result is OUT!!

2009-03-18T23:41:00.000-07:00

It had been nearly 1 month after my final papers and today is the day that our results are released. I am really so scared. The Financial Marketing paper is really a killer paper that I think I will fail be'cos i did not do well for my CA1. Results released at 2pm and I m wondering should i check my result or not because almost all my classmate passed and planning to go to the graduation ceremony held in May '09.

I took a deep breathe and accumulate the courage to face the music. To my surprise, I did quite well that is total unexpected. I got B for my Financial Marketing paper... I am really very very happy.. And I will be attending the grad. ceremony with my parents and hoping that hubby will be attending as well.

I hope it will not be the last chance to see my lovely classmates and we shall make a point such that we will meet at least once a year no matter how busy are we.

I am a 'free' ger from today onwards until i got myself another any course. I can lead a carefree life and go to Taiwan happily. I will jiayou to attain my next goal. Hope it will be pretty soon to fulfilled it....!!!

Sad... soB Sob SoB

2009-02-26T17:21:00.000-08:00

After I found out that I lost one of my earrings, I really do not have the mood to work anymore.. My heart sunk... That is part of my downry from mummy.. Really very very sad now although mummy tell me its ok than she will buy a new pair for me.. But the meaning is no longer there... I m such blur that I do not know when the earring is not on me.. Could it be on my bed or somewhere in my room... I doubt it... I had a strong feeling that it will be missing forever.. What should i do now.. I really felt lost even though it is just an earring... Can i go off 1 hr earlier to search for it or go home during lunch time...??? What should i do... I just need to question myself over and over again...

Conclusion: My very good boss allow me to go home to search for the earring... Finally... my earring... IS ON THE BED... haha... how careless can i be... bleah... I must be extra extra careful...<3

Silly me,
Joyce

V-day

2009-02-25T17:30:00.000-08:00

I think this is the only v-day that we did not celebrate in our 7 yrs of being togther... Attended darling's friend wedding - Peixi's wedding @ Concorde hotel. Food was so-so only and service is not very gd although most of his friends said that the hotel is well-known for their service... Met most of his secondary school and felt that they are nice people.. Below shows the pics for the day:-

I had been feeling unwell for the past 1 week plus... Having difficulty in breathing, tummy pain, giddyness and this morning... feel like vomitting... This is the very first time i felt this way... I really don't know wat is wrong with my system this weeks... If it is not going to recover next week, I think I will be seeing the doctor, to check out what is wrong with me...
Let's put our finger cross again to hope that there is nothing wrong with my health.... Cya....

My Wonderful Wedding - 28 Dec 2008

2009-01-08T05:12:00.000-08:00

Finally, this day is here.. Being so excited over the pass few days and finally is here... Slpt around 1230 after watch The Guess Show halfway and wake up around 3+ cos of gastric which causes stomachache.. Poor me, wasted 1 hr of slp in the toilet but after that, everything went smoothly.. My MUA came early, earlier than I expected... She reached my place around 630 and make up session starts...

All my very-on Sisters reached by 7am.. I really appreciate their help on this special day.. Without them, it would not be a much success on the day...

At around 7.20, mummy and dadyy put the 头沙over me infront of buddha. It means that they are handling me over to another person who can take care of me in this life.

At around 7.45, didi went down to open door for darling with 2 oranges in exchange for 1 big fat ang bao..

Before darling come in to fetch me over, he need to pass through all my sisters before getting to see me... All the food prepared by them are very nutrition and is good for them.. All the brothers are quite cooperative with my sisters with the games and everything the sisters wanted them to do...

Bread with Wasabi & Kaya

Bittergound with lemon juice

Games for Brothers

The 8 commanments

After so much of time spent on letting the guys in, darling finally came in to fetch me at 8.20. He opened my 头沙 and bring me out of my room. Before we went back to his house, we prayed and bowed bo mummy and daddy. This scene made mummy so so sad which make me heart ache as well.

After we left my house, we proceed to my in-laws house in Yishun. When we reached the house, everyone hide inside another room because they are afraid anyone of them would 'clush' with us. Food were then served to us by the 3 kids and ang baos were given to them.

After finished eating.. we went to Lower Peirce to take photos....

Around 11 plus, we went back to my MIL place for tea-ceremony and proceed to my house for tea-ceremony... Around 3... we check-in to our hotel stay : Pan Pacific Hotel Singapore... Yeppie..

Around 5.45 pm... we proceed to our dinner venue: Pionner Spring Rest. @ Mount Faber

K... I shall stop here... I had over 500 photos... Those who want the photos or rather view... msg me....

God Blessed !!

"Princess and Prince will live together happily ever after ~~~"

Busy Weekend

2008-12-22T08:13:00.000-08:00

20 Dec '08 (Saturday)

Waking up so so early on a Saturday morning... Went to bank then had breakfast at Wang.. Went walk walk at different park and reserviour and finally decided our outdoor photo shoot will take place at Lower Pierce Reserviour... It is quiet and less crowded there and it is our main motive of choosing the place.

We rushed back home to have our 'Ai Xin' lunch from mummy than rush out to our tour Agent to pay the remaining. We had changed our tour agent to SA cause CTC do not have enough pax to form a group. Going Japan with SA cost us $2688.. So ex lor.. haiz... but no choice..

After settling all these minor minor things, we went to Orchard for shopping... Purchased a customise Nike t-shirt and a Eeyore for Ah boy cos it his B'day..

Happy girl shopping with Happy boy.... wahaha...... But spend quite alot... After that, went Jurong Point to have supper with Ah Boy and Ah yi... Wohoo... reached home at 2.30am... Tired tired...

Counting down to my AD: 6 Days

21 Dec '08 (Sunday)

Shopping Day!!

2008-12-17T07:02:00.000-08:00

Wohoo... After so long, at last, manage to go shopping with mummy. I am really too busy nowadays especially this year to accompany her out for shopping. We bought alot of things and really spend a bomb...But at least the things we bought today is what I always wanted and like alot.. I bought something like pullover (Zara) for my Japan trip and a top (Bear and Pull) for work... The favourite item for the day shld be:

The Destinee charm above is a gift from mummy. Happy happy happy... In a recession like now, if wanna buy gems, should be something that has a value and could exchange for another gem in full value within two years. Ha.. ha.. ha... Am really so so happy ...:>

A day on meeting the brothers and sisters

2008-12-15T16:01:00.000-08:00

It had been raining since Saturday but the rain did not bring a stop for us to go shopping together. My dear Sharon manage to get a white dress that is very elegant and a pair of heels that she never wore before. I am happy that she is willing to make changes and adopt to changes. Not only she bought things, Me and Sufen bought a dress each from Mango be'cos Mango is having sales up to 50% off - the dress cost $125 but we bought at $75.. A great bargain...
Darling treat all the brothers and sisters to steamboat at Vivo.. The food so-so only be'cos not muich variety.. The best is their bun. Thanks to Sufen's "uncle" for making trips to get the buns.. haha..
After dinner, I treat them to ice-cream and had a miini discussion on the events on the actual day and the sisters discussed about their plan on sabontaging the brothers rather than darling.. haha.. I really feel that my sisters treat the guys damn good.. Giving them nice breakfast and healthy juice for the day... Wahaha...

Think going to ask the gers for a meet up again cos my another 2 sisters are not presence on Sunday... Most of the things done for the day le...Just abit here and there... Stress...

Stella did not come as she had some family pro but I did take her championship medal for her and Serene having sore eyes.. All my khakis not around, so I need to run alone... It is so so boring to run alone but my timing did improve by 15 minutes compare to last year. My timing this year is 1hr 29 min... Happy happy... Now, waiting for Shi to send me the only photo we took before the start of our marathon..

Annual Staff Dinner

2008-11-25T16:27:00.000-08:00

Finally here comes my staff dinner pic from one of my colleague.. The staff dinner this year is quite an unhappy one at the beginning... Simply don't understand why there is such birdy person who wants the school to open an additinal table simply for her only and dare to speak to her boss in such rude manner.. (still wondering whether my boss scolded her after the event?) Haiz... Just too bad that our school has this kind of employee around.

Ok... enough of complaining.. Pictures time....

Me and Cute Elly

Results show that nothing serious at the back but abit of the problem on the neck. For simple term, I am having slight neck sprain and it will recover when time comes. I need to do exercise to recover fast and need not go for any appointment unless I feel any pain again. And 1 last thing, it won't affect my future preggy. We are so happy to hear this news. No worries peers.

**For Darling, Stella, Serene: I can join you guys for the Standard Chartered Marathon. Gers, we can run and dash again. Happy, happy, happy!

Ok, enough of my conditions. Now, I shall post some photos from Serene, who got married sometime back in November 2007. Till yesterday, she then sent out the pics. Aiyoz... delayed for almost 1 year.

2008-11-01T23:32:00.000-07:00

This entry is a out-dated post that could be a super-duper long entry as I will be blogging on the long-weekend (24 Oct-27 Oct) but would be abit out-dated as the events happened a week ago. So let me start now:

24 Oct 2008 (Friday)

Darling accompanied me to SGH for check-up but the doc said that I needed to go through MRI to see any muscle tear or any other problem from my neck to my back. MRI cost me about $1400 than the whole process is 35 min. I will need to go back to take my report and see the doc again on 5 Nov. Will update on this again after my next check-up

25 Oct 2008 (Sat)

It is another busy Saturday for us again. It is a day that I choose all my gowns for my AD @Milan Wedding, Followed by buying alot of things from Aussino @ Suntec for our wedding preparation again. Below are the pics for my gowns before alteration:

In the evening, we met Ah boy to buy shirt for him to open car door for darling on AD. Of all colors from G2000, we bought him a pink strip shirt.. haha.. so happy that it is pink. Very last min, dar's mum called to ask us to fetch them from Tuas and ended home quite late.

Therefore, we will only take photos our favourite animals.. Haha..For those who wish to visit the Zoo, must jio us , we will confirm go if we have the time

K, Will stop here already... Will update soon again...

Cya...

A penny of thoughts..

2008-10-22T00:34:00.000-07:00

Firstly, I had been talking to a long-winded parent about his daughter.. It seems that everyone is wrong except his daughter but it seems that the daughter is kind-hearted in nature... It is really sad upon hearing such things from parent. While working here, I can see different kind of parents. Some can be very protective towards their child while some can simply don't care about their child. It can be quite heartening to hear these stories... This could be part of the reason why I wanted to leave service for other company.

Secondly, is the lady sitting beside me. I know i had been complaining about her attitute and any other thing because i simply can tahan her already. She had be becoming from bad to worst. No wonder she is not married. Are all Ind***s like that? I don't understand why chinese simply can communicate with them. They are like keep making things different for me. Could it be I am doing part of her things that she is unhappy about or any possible reasons? I could not figure out at all. Even they speak malay, I don't even know whether are they scolding me or bad mouthing me.

Base on the above 2 reasons I could think for now, I had decided to leave my working place if possible. Although I love to interact with people (that's why I am in the service line), but it is sad to be working here because the people I met here is lousy. It is not the parents but is the people working in the office. I really hope that god is at my side this time round to bless me to get a job with better working environment although the enconmy is down now. I am really praying hard now as I will be sending my resume out and the company will accept me. I dun mind to continue serving the public as long as I leave here. May the god at my side ... God blessed...

~2008 Staff Photo~

~2008 Department Photo~

As of now, the economy is going down wards.. I really dunno whether I can change job or not but I really hope to change a environment and wanted new colleagues. But when I leave my current working place, I will only miss the bosses. They really treat me well this yr and had been helping me quite alot. Giving me chance to try doing events. Really apprepriate that.. But I will not stay on for long with the kind of working environment now!

Official Back to Work...

2008-10-06T08:16:00.000-07:00

Today is the official day I went back to work after the accident. Being busy as usual and my work had piled up ever since an audit is coming along early Janary next year.

Recovering in Process

2008-10-03T08:29:00.000-07:00

Another day of MC was given to me. The pain is so terrible that mummy took to me the doc to exmine my head cos there are afew bumps. According to the doc, the blood clot is outside the skull but if the bumps did not subside in the following week, he will send me for x-ray and some therapy. I really hope i will get well soon so that i could go back to my usual lifestye - driving to and flo to work as per normal. But at the mean time, i would need to do some light exercise in order to fasten the speed of recovery from my neck to my last bone. Wish me good luck ba...

A Lesson Learn...

Wake up early in the morning and prepare as usual for work. Everything went smoothly until around 730 am @ Yishun Ave 1.

When I had changed from Lane 2 to Lane 3, I notice that there was a Malaysia Motorcycle infront of me playing . He had being changing lanes and it seems that the whole road belong to him. Then he suddenly stop infront of me and I need to jam my brake in order not to hit him. Being good by not hitting him, the a Frozen Truck from behind hit me hard. The impact is so hard that my whole body ache and having giddyness.

The F&N lorry than hit me from behind! Just abit of tanted only.

My car now! No car boot and rear mirror.Sad:(

Within 30 min, the tow-truck arrive at the seen and brought me and darling to report the accicdent and to the workshop. Luckily my darling accompanied me throughtout orelse I m at sure at a lose.

For now, i need to recover from both physical and emotional damage. I had 2 days MC and if stil apin, i need to go back to see my doctor on Thursday again. I am damn bad luck for involving in the accident but I had a experience more than anyone else.

A Penny of Thought

2008-09-27T01:43:00.000-07:00

We met on Friday night to have badminton game and it is a great game... When reached home after bathing, some thoughts came in to my mind:

Why are kids nowadays so naughty? Is the kids lack of parenting or parents simply cant control their kids?

I had this thought because when they guys were in the badminton game, about 3 kids came into the court running about. They are very hyper and naught. Guess what.. The father of the 3 kids were just sitting on the bench looking and talking in the HP. He dun even bother when my darling scolded at one of the boys. Therefore, if i am going to have kids, I would definately educate my kids well before any other people have the chance to scold them.

Why are Singaporean so inconsiderate?

We drove 2 cars back to my place after the game due to Sunday we need to accompany darling's mummy to see the wedding biscuit in Sembawang and I am lazy to drive during weekend. Haha..After parking my car, I went up a story to look for darling. There are inconsiderate people staying at my place. 1 vehicle using up 2 parking lots.. I know they did purchase season parking, but that isn't the way to use it. Below shows the 2 vehicle side by side using up 4 parking lots:-

Why Singaporean have strange behaviour?

We then went to Mcdonald for our supper. We saw a very interesting old man age between 50-60 eatin Mc-chicken burger just like a small kid. Eat till the whole mouth and both hand full of chilli. The scene is quite disgusting. According to darling, the old man is very gan-chiong looking for chilli after buying the burger and the press the chilli sause onto the whole burger. When seeing such interesting person, me and darling started discussing about him without noticing that he had noticed us talking about him. After he finished eating, he just walked and stand behind darling and starting starring at us. Darling thought he wanted tissue so he offered to him, but he just stand there and kept looking at us. To our shocked, he suddenly asked the 2 malay boys sitting the next table that: "Do you know that looking at people is very rude? Youngsters nowadays like to look at people." The 2 malays don't even thought what he is talking about. haha.. I really think that these kind of people is so so interesting. If they really bother on how people looked at their eating style, I rather he buy the burger back and eat at home than no 1 can look at him.

Thereall now... Will update soon again...

But we had special guest to join us, Rongshun and his bro, so is a total of 5 person but they joined the 10km run. Therefore, most of the photo only the 3 of us.

Bangkok Shopping Spree : 5/09/08 - 8/09/08

2008-09-09T03:33:00.000-07:00

I'm back from Bangkok. Everything is fine there; as peaceful as ever. No riots or armys in the shopping areas. For those going to Bangkok, you can just go ahead without cancelling your trips. Let me share some of my photos here:-

Our SQ air-ticket: SQ976

On board the plane

Highway 涨水

Our Cozy room - Baiyoke Boutique Hotel (gd hotel with gd location)

Bangkok Tallest Hotel - Baiyoke Sky Hotel

Every Singaporean's Favorite Fast-Food: A&W

Train station

In airport on our back to S'pore

That's all for my Bangkok trip. We bought quite alot of things from JJ market and big shopping centres but spent only around S$250. That's a great deal. We do enjoy this trip and hope the next trip will be coming up soon. The take-away from this Bangkok is that if people are going to nearby country like Bangkok, do take SQ because there are lots of discount by producing SQ/silkair boarding pass. You guys can purchase more but need not spend so much.

Woohoo... We are going to BKK for shopping spree for 4 days (5/9 - 8/9).. Finally, this days arrived n we can go for a break. I hope to buy alot of good and cheap things there, gd food and massage and spa, but i do not hope to see any riots going on at the place i m staying by (finger kept cross)..
We will be flying by SQ and take off at abt 2.10pm and staying at Baiyoke Boutique Hotel. We had bought insurance and registered with MFA.. So peeps, dun worry about us.. I know you guys care for us.
I will be posting our photos when we are back..
Take care guys..

Love,
Joyce

Worsen in Office

2008-08-31T19:46:00.000-07:00

Situation worsen recently in my working office. The 3 fellows nv talk to me even since they knew i ordered pizza for lunch without them knowing.. They are like so so childish - 1 is a mother of 3, another 1 is mother of 2 and next is the worst, single and avaliable and is already past 30 years old.
I had a feeling of not coming to work everyday. I am sick n tired of such a working enviroment. So few ppl yet complicating.
Isn't due to different races or watever reasons? For your info, I and my AM is the only Chinese in the office. I really think I should change my job scope, working environment and most importantly my work place. I do not want to stay in a working enviroment where I m the only person working and the others are listening to music, watching youtube, etc. This kind of working style is really demoralising for me. Me too, dun feel like working at all. If this is the case, i would rather stay at home to do some cleaning up for my room, watch tv, surf net as long as i want, etc.
Therefore, no matter wat increment, how high is my BP, i m getting promotion next year, I make sure i leave latest by Feb 2009. I wil be sending my resume in December as i m completing my Dip soon. I m not going to care of whoever going to stop me from changing the job. I m sick and tired here. So much of anger to handle, rather than learning, yet so little pay. Tireddd.........
The most grateful ppl who is helping me this year is my AM and principal.. That is all..
I just want to leave this working place with no regrets and full of happiness...

2008-08-03T05:16:00.000-07:00

Woohoo.. went NATAS and managed to book both our Bangkok and Japan Trip.. Both from different tour company.

Bangkok from ASA.. We will be taking SQ and staying in Baiyoke Boutique.. It is so so cheap because SQ is having promotions.. We are so lucky.. We nv imagine to go BKK only, we will take SQ..

Japan is from CTC.. We also used CTC to go to Korea + Jeju in Apr 2008. CTC is gd.. Their service, tour leader, tour guide.. really cater to customers' needs. Therefore, we stil go back to them for our Japan honeymoon.. Really cant wait to go Japan.. I think i will be taking about 10 days of leaves.. Wahaha...

Boring @ Work

2008-07-29T18:36:00.000-07:00

It is so so boring at work.. Keep doing the same thing over and over again.. The only challenging part in this job is to meet different kind of parents everyday. Some parents will come running crying, scold, etc to you.. Being in this kind of working environment for the past 4 yrs.. I really needed a change.. I had decided to change job by early next yr.. I wil start sending resume by end Nov, early Dec..
Study is so tiring.. So many project with so many reports, presentations, etc.. But luckily, my cos going to end in Feb 2009.. So happy.. I dont think i will continue my studies after that.. I am giving this chance to my hubby.. I think he needs the cert more than me.. Than i can be a happy, carefree mummy le..
Woohoo.. Should be going to BKK from 4 Sept - 7 Sept and Central Japan+Disney land+universal studio from 30 Dec to 5 Jan '09.. This is much planning for this year.. thinking that next chance i dun have much chance to go on tour.. Planning for some other things.. Really hope can go to 2 places this year...

Saturday (19 Jul '08)

Yeppie... went to Lincong's chalet today @ Aloha Bunglow.. Other than my very own familyBBQ, I feel that among friends, that is the best BBQ i had ever been. They had prepared a total of 10kg of prawns, 3 kg of sotongs, alot of crabs, stingrays, lots of food. The moment hubby and I reach the place, we had been eating from 9pm to 1230am non-stop. I feel so sinful but i cant resist good food. Linchong had done a great job,his BBQ skill had improved tremenously. My favourite food for the day by him is the bbq stingray.. Best best.. It is finger licking good.

Stingray for the day.. Very delicious...:)

Sunday (20 Jul '08)

I really felt that food in me was still in my stomach and I need to run 5km for Shape Run. The weather is so so hot. Although the 2 guys agreed to motivate us in running and taking photo for us, but they did not follow us closely, in the end, they were stopped by the marshal along the road side.. So sad.. But eventually, after the run, we managed to meet after searching for each other for at least 1 hr.. Lesson of the day: Bring HP no matter going where..

Stella & Me (Marathon buddy for 2 yrs)

Wei Shi & Me (Pri Sch Frenz)
