Hi Wenn,

What company r u working for? Convenient to email to me your company name, address & website address? Need to know what is their requirement. My email is: [email protected].

Why new HR mgr juz joined then left?
 
Hi gals,

wow, you all have very active discussion on driving leh. Me cannot drive also, cos most of the time husband do the driving, then I have no chance and lazy to drive. I also dun like to drive when my husband is around cos tend to be very stressful. Anyway, see how lah, if got time then go for refresher course, buy a car and start driving. I am thinking of getting honda jazz, a cute and compact car. We test drive it before, quite a nice car. Very suitable for lady, you know like drive to gym, or play golf etc, the leisure kind of thing.

My wedding dinner will be held in Conrad. But now the ballroom a little too small for us, so got to cut some names off the guest list, which my ILs kept insisting that they can't cut. Sianz. Hee hee, but going for food tasting this thursday. Looking forward to feasting...

Talking about KC days, I really missed them too, those book and music weeks were fun events too. Used to take part in the skits or whatever programme that the class did.

And yes, Wenn, I remember Valeriane, did you talk to her?

Over the weekend I finally selected the florist. Chose secret garden instead of green point cos lazy to go Sin Ming and Green Point seems very busy, must make appts. I used Fiore Dorato for my photoshoot. Must say the flowers and arrangement are very nice but too expensive. They quoted me 480 for car decor. My package with Secret Garden is only 400 for bridal bouquet, Car decor (with real flowers - using cabbage flowers) and corsages.
 
hi carol,

nope, din talk to her..

u spend a lot for ur wedding hor.... but then it's a once in a lifetime thing right??

EL, u lucky thing! boss not ard for 2 wks, can enjoy & even when he's back later, it will b x'mas & everyone will be holiday mood!

i always have mixed feelings towards the end of the yr - happi becoz of the festive season. but itz oso like the super peak period at work!
 
Hi pixie,

Wow..what kinda job do u have..must work till so late! Poor thing.

Blossom,

Have u started on the books yet?
 
hi pixie,
so happy u enjoyed the ps.... i also ganna experience with insects. my outdoor gown has a long train and as i was taking photos on the grass, big red ants crawled all over the gown, i was so shocked and kept flicking the gown, argghhhh!!!! but luckily they all flew away by my great force...
lol.gif


i understand the great agony of calling cabs.... always have to listen to music wan....
crazy.gif


haha... my hubby saw the books on promotion.... so he wants to buy but paiseh... so he forced me to carry the books to the counter then coax me by saying the books are presents for me....
lame.gif
 
hi alhana,
i haven't start yet, the books are still in their packages and lying on my sofa.... i have never been keen when it comes to reading....
lame.gif
 
Hi Carol,

My Bro recently attended a wedding at Conrad, he mentioned that the ballroom is very nicely decorated - very grand. You may like to pay attend to the food during your food tasting. Not too sure but my bro says its okay, some dishes not really nice. U can always give feedback & request them to improvise on the taste on the actual day.

Seiko, my FH & I also thinking of migrating to Aust. Guess it may be easy for us cos our degree are fm there so as per their pt system, hopefully, we could qualify as he is considered a professional. Anyway, shall shelf this thought till few yrs later.
 
Jojok,

so many pple ard me r thinking of migrating to Aust. Audrey studied there 4 her degree after
working here 4 sometime. She met her bf there too.
Her parents r still here, but i guess after she has got her PR, she'll apply 4 them 2 go over too.

For my case, it all depends on FH. He's more pessimistic bt the situation here. So he may be thinking of migrating. Afterall, after spending 5 yrs in Ireland, he's not used to the system of doing things here. But I always tell him, dif culture so muz try to integrate into system lor.
 
morning!

wow, y sudden tok of migrating ???
wink.gif


actually, FH oso thot of going to Aust since he has cousins living there... but the thot of starting over from scratch makes it quite sian lor...
 
Hi gals,

Jojok, yah, I think food wise, conrad is not noted to be the best, I am going for food tasting tomorrow,so hopefully it is not that bad. Anyway, looking forward to eat this dish in the menu, its actually the dessert, chilled pomela and mango with sago. Strange right, people usually go for the expensive food like sharkfins but my craving is usually for the sweet, dessert type of food.

Wenn, dun remind me leh, our last count is 17k for bridal package, photographs,catering and invites. Furthermore, now I am getting a hairstylist to do my hair instead of the hair/makeup artist that comes with the package. Haven't count in the wedding dinner and liqour/wine/beer yet. It costs me 38k for 34 tables of 12, 2 barrels of beer and wine/liquor. A lot of our guests drink like fish, so likely to incur even more on drinks. So my total bill comes close to 55k. But then, we should get angpow back from the wedding dinner, so the amt will be lesser than this lah. Prob we will prob spend close to 25k in total, assuming we lose 8k from the wedding dinner.

So, better dun count, the more we count, the more heartpain. But then, I always tell myself and hubby that its once in a lifetime, we can't re-do it, so better not to have any regrets later, just to save a couple of hundreds.
 
carol,

i've tried the chilled pomelo, mango w sago at lei garden... not bad leh,, something different from the usual honeydew sago
happy.gif
yum yum
happy.gif


so, u scanned ur photos yet???

well, my fren works in HSBC & he's taking a 30K staff loan from them to finance his wedding & flat...

my FH is quite frugal type,,, so he doesn't allow us to overspend lor
sad.gif
 
hi Blossom,

your hubby so funny. buy books also pai seh? RED ANTS on your gown??? oh no! i'm very scared of all those crawly things.... hmm... must think of a place where i don't have to "fight" all these insects.

hi pixie,

How have u been?

It's actual late spring in Perth now.... Glad it was good weather for me cos i heard from my friend that she went to Melbourne at the same time but experienced heavy downpours for most of her days there.

Yah.... the lake even had ducks swimming that morning..... Niceeee..... Sandboarding wasn't quite a mountain, perhaps a hill..... i was so thrilled i play many many rounds.
biggrin.gif


How r your preparations for your wedding?
 
hahaha!
lol.gif


Blossom, you really made my morning a very happy one! so funny that i can't control my laughter leh. yah, your hubby really very blur.
 
hi el,
ai yoh, u so bad yah.... how can laugh at ppl??
nono.gif
but that's how blur my hubby can be loh....
lame.gif
sometimes dunno whether to laugh or cry....

last nite, he handed me "the towel i want"..... ok lah, not a towel but it's not a shawl either... it's like a scarf. sigh, it's the thought that counts lah....
12841.gif
 
hi alhana,
haha.... harry potter books are in the kids section of the bookshop mah so he dun dare to squeeze there with the kids loh. he easily paiseh wan... toys of cos no need to say la.
lame.gif


there was one time he wants to go into toys 'r'us, dun dare to step in unless i accompany him.... he said his reputation at stake to appear in toys store alone....
lol.gif
so childish hor...

12845.gif
 
Hi Blossom,

Yeah lor, me and hubby definitely not ashamed to step into toyshops or the children section of bookstores etc. In fact I still do buy books fr my fav childhood authors. Tell ure hubby to be more thick skin lah...nothing to be ashamed of coz others do it too
happy.gif
Maybe when u have kids next time he can use the kids as an excuse! Hehehehe..then u'll be spared!
 
hi alhana,
that's what i thought. my hubby also look forward to use the kids as an excuse. i always laugh at him that he will be the one pestering to buy the toys instead of the kids.
lol.gif
 
Hi Blossom,

Hahahahah...I won't be surprised if that happens! He may even end up enjoying the toys more than the kids! I guess some men will always be little boys at heart when it comes to games and toys
happy.gif
 
hi alhana,
my hubby always ensure he maintains his composure in front of others.... becos he look very stern and si wen... so he thought that if ppl knows he is like a child, it will be a real embarrassement....
lame.gif
the thought is childish enough hor....

like last nite we were watching the amazing race, it was my first time watching and i was so excited that im hopping like mad on the sofa, whereas my hubby just sat motionlessly... becos we are at in-laws place....
12888.gif
 
alhana,
i started reading the 1st book of harry potter. the book is more detailed than the movie. my hubby commented that the style of writing very childlike... of cos lah for children mah.... but hor i dun find it that way.... i cannot read too chim things.
lol.gif


he also commented that i read very slowly. maybe it's nite time and i was watching tv at the same time too...
12908.gif
 
Hi Blossom,

Don't knock ureself if ure not into 'chim' books...a good story doesn't have to be 'chim' to be good
happy.gif
Some stories can be so chim until no one knows what the hell they're talking abt! Anyway many adults read the Harry Potter books and love them (I even managed to get some of my colleagues hooked and they are now sharing the stories w their kids...isn't tt great?) so you're in good company
happy.gif
Anyway I started getting really hooked fr the 3rd book onwards...can't wait for the 5th book to be released!
 
Dear all, heard abt this forum fr another ex-PL girl n decided to drop by...... Plump sch girl, am curious to know who u r cos we were classmates in Sec. 3 n 4. Glad to know that Zhang nainai is married. Hv u heard anything about Adeline, Youxiang, Peiying and Cuixiang? I lost contact with them after graduation. Naturally, we were classmates in Sec. 2. RST, congratulations about the baby! Are you getting enough sleep these days? I was from Handbells too, we'd probably been scolded by Miss Yap together b4, esp. during practices for that "big performance" at Hilton. Leafy, how come you still remember Ye Ruoshi, it's been so many yrs after all...... Hope to hear fr u gals soon!
 
hi alhana,
okie. im was reading it last nite. i think im really slow leh, i only reached the part abt the sorting hat....
lame.gif
my hubby said it is such a unique image of me reading a book.... never seen it for a long long time.
12953.gif
 
hi alhana,
last nite, both me and hubby were reading before we slept..... he was reading LOTR and me harry potter... it was really rare but really peaceful and more meaningful than watching tv...
happy.gif
 
Hi Blossom,

I agree. My hubby and I do that all the time..read in bed together. We really enjoy the feeling of being engrossed in a story, and yet being closed to a loved one. Its comforting and enjoyable at the same time.

How much progress have u made btw?
 
alhana,
i only managed to read the chapter on the portions master last nite. i think i was reading every word... worried that i may miss out on something....
lame.gif
also trying to recall how each part of the book was captured in the movie....

i was busy with hsework the whole day. now my hands are aching.... never so hardworking before.
crazy.gif
 


Hi Blossom,

Sometimes when I read too fast, I tend to miss out on details. May pick it up later if I happen to re-read the books again, so reading slow can be a good thing
happy.gif


So good girl..do housework the whole day! I think I wld have dreaded having to spend my sunday cleaning the hse
happy.gif


So which book in LOTR is ure hubby reading now? First, second or last?
