Me and MArk is having our usual wedding conversation and this particular one sets me cracking up.
Me: My mom seems to prefer a saturday night wedding banquet but I'm afraid with the morning wedding at church, I'll be half dead by the night session. (Me and MArk initially agreed to have a sunday night banquet)
MArk: Hmmm.. I don't think you'll be tired on that day right?
Me: Ya.. Maybe must down plenty of Red Bull
MArk: But what if you fly away?
Me: .... (my mind conjuncting up an image of a fly-away bride on her wings) ROFL

of more venues down, some more to go
Seems to have a turn of event during our venue sourcing for our wedding. Apparently Grand Corpthone Waterfront doesn't have the dates that we wanted. We are soooo flexible giving them at least 12 dates but none fits into their busy schedule. Boohooo..
I love the ballroom! High ceiling, no pillar, beautiful long aisle walk-in and garden backdrop.
Too bad.. We have to quickly source for an alternative venue to back us up. We have to convince ourselves that an alternative doesn't mean second best though. It might just means a higher price tag. haha..

of mixed feelings
I was watching a funny scene on TV when it all started. It first started as a chuckle, and progressively evolve into full blown laughter. I was laughing and laughing so hard till tears were streaming down uncontrollably. Without any warning, it laughing turn to sobbing. Those fat tears just rolled down uncontrollably...

This yo-yo emotion went on for a good 3 minutes before I snapped myself out of it.
This never happened to me before... Must be those pent-up emotions trying all their means to escape me through any emotional release action, hence make those laughing-out-loud become sobbing-out-loud.
While I was laughing-crying or whatever you call that, I was actually alternating between 2 emotions simutaneouly; laughing and crying and laughing and crying again. One moment I was laughing at the stupidity of the actress, and the next moment I found myself crying and thinking about those issues that life has thrown onto my lap. This yo-yo emotion went on for a good 3 minutes before I snapped myself out of it.
That's what I would literally call - mixed feelings.
You know they always say "don't know to laugh or to cry". While I did both. I laughed and I cried.
I must be too high strung lately. Hmmm..

of full circle
There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven. Ecclesiates 3:1
It has truly been a challenging period for me, trying to juggle with work, church and my life.
It wasn’t so much as a tough season, but a season where I have come full circle.
After all the changes that I am going through with the situation at work, the direction of the church and with my personal life, they are now the same as they were in the beginning.
With work has been most frustrating. After all the changes that we need to do since the first draft, we have sent the designers back to their drawing board for uncountless times and in the end, we ended up with something similar to the first draft. I understand that that was an inevitable process.
Last Sunday, Pastor Khong mentioned that he had a revelation that God wanted him to complete what he has started off so many years ago. All these years, with all the implemented changes injected at mid-way, it might seem that we are heading back where we have left off.
I must admit that I am becoming dizzy from all these merry-go-round motion. It’s not fun getting lost in the labyrinth. I just needed some clear direction.
It sets me thinking somehow.
Maybe we all need to come full circle in order to realize something which we have forgotten along the way? Because along the way, we lost ourselves to distraction and to the wrong voices and forget what is truly most important?
I don’t know.
But I hope that now there will be a time when the circle is completed so that we don’t have to go round again. It should be sealed, complete and closed.
But then, I know that no matter how far we have walked. Whether it is still within the circle or off-tangent, we will find ourselves back at where He is. At least, for me.
Ecclesiates 3: 1-8
There is a time for everything,
and a season for every activity under heaven:
a time to be born and a time to die,
a time to plant and a time to uproot,
a time to kill and a time to heal,
a time to tear down and a time to build,
a time to weep and a time to laugh,
a time to mourn and a time to dance,
a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,
a time to embrace and a time to refrain,
a time to search and a time to give up,
a time to keep and a time to throw away,
a time to tear and a time to mend,
a time to be silent and a time to speak,
a time to love and a time to hate,
a time for war and a time for peace

of kudos to Liese Bubble Hair Color
I never like to do DIY color at home as I find it very troublesome and messy. I prefer going to a hair salon to have someone do it for me. Not forgetting that I used to get free hair color and treatment thanks to the perks of my (then) job, DIY coloring is really not my thing.
Now that it isn't 'free' anymore, I decided to do my research well before heading down any hair salon which offers the best promotion. Before I could do that, I saw the Liese Bubble Hair Color commercial on TV.
Marketing is about getting the message to the people at the right time when they are searching for it. That just did it for me!
I decided to give DIY hair color a try again after seeing how easy it is. So I bought Liese Bubble Hair Color in Ash brown at Watson at $19.90 to try it out.
Boy, it sure did not disappoint!
For those who are still not in the know, Kao Liese Bubble Hair Color is a new type of permanent hair color that uses foam. It is so easy to apply and best of all, color hair so evenly. That, for me, is what sets it apart from its other competitor.
You guys know that I have super long hair that reaches to my waist. It will be CRAZY for me to DIY the hair color myself without making a big mess. I have MArk on standby in case I need him. But that prove to be unnecessary.
I did it effortless all by myself, on my long hair, without a mess!! That really awe-ed me.
Not only is it super easy to apply. I just need to lather into my scalp and hair and leave on for 30minutes. The color turns out very even as well.
Also, this one doesn't have that chemical stench as bad as others which I have tried from the salons.
However, I do feel a slight itch on my scalp during and after the coloring. But my scalp is on a sensitive side so it doesn't really comes as a surpise for me.
For $19.90, I am so satisfied with the result I see.
I'll definitely use it again!
Kudos to the guys at Kao for this avant-garde product!

of bread and butter
It’s work, work, work, work and more work.
It’s non-stop action since last Monday. I reckon it will last till end of end week. Gosh, I’m heading to a burn-out and really need a break.
Performing miracles, doing the impossible, hitting ceiling-high targets are all in a day’s work and giving your best seems mediocre.
Good. Better. Best. I wondered what comes after that? I need that.
My social life is non-existent, unless you count those wall messages and photo tagging from Facebook or the random tweeting.
So tired. Crawling to bed each night…
Sometimes when I stopped and think about it, I asked myself why I am doing all these. Or rather, who am I doing all these for? Is it really worth it?
Then I remembered about my plans for the future, I remembered God’s promise, I remembered that I need to give God glory in all things I do, I remember about people who are in a worse situation than me.
I realized that I still have my job to thank God for and am indeed still blessed.
But still sometime I can’t help but wonder how long more can take this?
I’m only human.

of one venue down, many more to go
The Hilton Wedding show we went to last weekend is a real disappointment.
The ballrooms and deco are very nicely decked out but they just lack the punch we are looking for.
One of the main criteria I am looking for is for the hotel to have an eye for detail, which is what Hilton Singapore is soring lacking.
After registration, we were left standing there without any instruction what to do. We ventured into the grand ballroom and still there isn't any sign of help coming our way. After 10 minutes of loitering within the ballroom, we decided to approach the counter.
Me: Hi, we are very lost here. Can you tell us what to do?
Hilton Rep: Erm..
MArk: XX contacted us for this wedding show. May I know where is she?
Hilton Rep: Erm, XX is busy at the moment.
Me/MArk: I give 'that' look to MArk which we both know is the 'invisible roll-eye' look.
Hilton Rep 2: Maybe I can bring you around?
Duh!
They have to cheek asking us to pay $30 for the wedding show and let us explore your ground on our own? Some great hospitality you've got.
The rest of the show got much better after introdution from the 2nd rep. He patiently bring us to the various venue and explained to us each of the theme they were trying to potray. I must say it don't look too bad. The dessert buffet looks interesting too!
Being the perfectionist me, I have already determind not to sign up with them. They have already lost us in the beginning. Talk about first impression.
Their only saving grace is the complimentary parking ticket which we still have to request for that day. Else we have to pay an additional $17.50! MARk will be super pissed.
Nonetheless, both of us agreed to cross out Hilton. (Sorry, just too bad you didn't manage to wow us)
We are heading to the Fairmont Wedding show later. It's free admission. Hopefully that'll turn out to be better.

of my 1st ultrasound and I don't like what they found
Period cramps are quite the norm for me but to have cramps until I broke out in cold sweat in another matter altogether. This was what happened to me a couple of weeks back.
Just to be one the safe side, I went for an ultrasound scan at one of the clinic at Paragon just to dismiss any nagging feeling within. Just to be sure you know.
The procedure was fast and the nurse told me that it is the same procedure when expecting mummies come in to check on the growth of their babies. How ironic to be doing the same thing but having entirely different set of feelings! :(
I just gotten the report on thursday. They found a small hypoechoic nodule in my uterus measuring 5.5mm in its longest length. For a layman like you and I, it means they found a small fibroid growth. They attributed that to causing the painful cramps.
I called my mum immediately. (mummies are always the first we call when we are in trouble don't we?)
She told me that 3 years ago, her doctor also told her that she has a 5.5mm growth but that mass ballooned to 9 cm within 3 years. She just had the hysterectomy surgery in july because of the oversize fibroid.
I thank God that I found out early and believes that He can and will heal me. Not really that worrying that as the peace of God is with me.
But my point is if we find that there is something wrong with our bodies, don't procrastinate to see a doctor. Instead of losing sleep because of that anxiety, isn't it better to get a dignosis? Maybe it is just a health scare or maybe it is something much more than that. Either way, it still gives us a greater peace of mind.
Yeah, I know sometimes it could be like opening a pandora's box. But I think I rather know than not know it. It can sometime be a matter of life and death. Early detection can save lives!
Go for your health screening if you have been procrasting that for the longest time. Just to be sure ya.

of the never-ending insatiable wanderlust
The long awaited weekend is finally here! Some weekends are really good-to-have well others are need-to-have. This one happens to be the latter.
The office environment really become much cheerier as the week wears off.
This is usually how I will feel as I transit down the week.
Monday - A feeling of separation anxiety from the weekends. Need some time to warm up to the work.
Tuesday - Thank God I made it through the mondays. Usually most productive and looking forward to clear the work.
Wednesday - Oh good! Its mid-week. What should I have for lunch?
Thursday - Just need to hold on for 1 more day before the weekends!
Friday - Euphoria! On cloud's nine! Whatever bad things that happen can't be that bad anyway. :)
I guess this couple of weeks is worse due to the heightening of the project on hand. It'll soon be over!
Throughout the week, my mind has been echoing Joanne Peh's mantra from Jetstar commercial! "Singapore, you need a break!" Yes. I need a break. I want a break!
So image my surprise when I flipped through TODAY and saw Jetstar's advertisment on their Jetsaver Light Challenge! It is back!
For those not in the know, Jetsave Light Challenge will be flying 10 shortlisted team to selected Jestar destination for a day of fun, excitment and adverture. The team of 2 will pit themselves again other teams for the grand prizes usually in the form of travel vouchers.
I immediate told MArk that I won't missed it for the world! I will make use of my travel itinerary writting skill I acquired during my HTM days in TP for this. (I remember scoring a distinctive for that!) Hopefully my travel itinerary will be some impressive that it will shout "Pick me! Pick me!" and Jetstar will fly us there for the challenge!
Being a self-confessed wanderlust, I am so ashame to say that I have not been traveling as much as I like to. This just gives me a chance to feed my traveling desire!

of Cockney and talking cock
During my poly days, I was working part time at Harry Bar in Changi Airport. I get to see very interesting personalities everyday. Those semi-drunkard are always eager give me a cultural walkthrough of their home country. One time, a very drunk australian lady passed me a AUD$100 for bringing her to her boarding gate!
To me, working there is my gateway to the rest of the world. I truly enjoyed my time there.
One of the most interersting things I have heard of is the Cockney language. Cockney is a region in London. They have a very unique slang which is the Cockney slang. It is a rather uncommon slang and was looked down upon in the past.
What happen was I overheard 2 englishmen talking to each other in English but I have absolutely NO IDEAS what they were driving at. I was so fascinated so I asked them. They told me that they were actually conversing in Cockney rhyming slang and explain to me how it works.
Rhyming slang is a form of slang in which a word is replaced by a rhyming word, typically the second word of a two-word phrase (so stairs becomes "apples and pears" as pears rhymes with stairs.) The second word is then often dropped entirely ("I'm going up the apples"), meaning that the association of the original word to the rhyming phrase is not obvious to the uninitiated.
So imagine my surprise when I stumbled across this article on 'Cash machine offers Cockney slang'
http://uk.news.yahoo.com/21/20090824/tuk-cash-machine-offers-cockney-slang-6323e80.html
I could decipher its meaning!! My lesson in Harry Bar come rushing back to mind and was put to good use!
Instead of the usual English language, the ATM also comes in the option of Cockney language!
Therefore, they are asked to enter their "Huckleberry Finn", which means to enter their Pin (Finn rhymes with Pin)
To withdraw £10, will have to ask for a 'speckled hen' (hen and ten rhymes) By the way, Speckled hen is a famous ale loved by the Englishmen.
Also, they will be ask how much "sausage and mash" (mash and cash rhymes) they want.
You might be thinking that it makes no sense at all!
Actually, you will be surprise.
I asked that same question when the 2 Englishmen gave me the examples of "Apples and Pears". I asked them what has it got to do with stairs? They said that the rule of thumb is to have some sort of association to it. And 'Apples and Pears' crate can be found under the stairs. Duh... How obvious right!
Do you 'Adam and Eve' (Believe) it? haha..
Translate this:
'Allo me old china - wot say we pop round the Jack. I'll stand you a pig and you can rabbit on about your teapots. We can 'ave some loop and tommy and be off before the dickory hits twelve.
Translated:
Hello my old mate (china plate) - what do you say we pop around to the bar (Jack Tar). I'll buy you a beer (pig's ear) and you can talk (rabbit and pork) about your kids (teapot lids). We can have some soup (loop de loop) and supper (Tommy Tucker) and be gone before the clock (hickory dickory dock) strikes twelve.
OR
"Got to my mickey, found me way up the apples, put on me whistle and the bloody dog went. It was me trouble telling me to fetch the teapots."
which really means:
"Got to my house (mickey mouse), found my way up the stairs (apples and pears), put on my suit (whistle and flute) when the phone (dog and bone) rang. It was my wife (trouble and strife) telling me to get the kids (teapot lids)."
Well, if you don't understand a thing from my post. I guess, that's the whole idea. :)
