Huiz: You're really very disciplined!!! I think in future, i'll be following CSI's style. Haha...
Janf: Can i find out whether BC took a long time with your layouts? My PS was in mid-March but until now, i haven't seen my layouts yet.
Li Ann: There's still me. I have yet to set up a Multiply account.
Mainly because i post pics up in my blog but there are also levels set. Nowadays i hardly show such entries as "public" so i am still considering how. Otherwise, my pics shall be in my wedding website.

Huiz: Don't worry...even now, i do housework even though i live with my parents. Used to laundry, ironing & cleaning after living on my own throughout my uni & NIE days.
Furthermore, i intend to engage part-time maid in future.
Janf: I called up Big Sally but she said de layouts are taking a longer time than usual because KIT is doing it personally for us. She said i should be able to view them next week. Really keeping my fingers crossed...

hey petrina,
yup. Have u attended the NFP class at ur parish? Since u guys dun intend to have kids yet, NFP would be able to help you in that way too...as long as u do it right.
NFP is not just for those who want kids. It's also for those who dun.
Hey ivied, wah, your job sounds really shiong...try to come, yah? It's a Friday...so give yourself a break too, if you can. heehee...

Hi petrina and janf, hope you all are getting better after 4 days of rest. petrina, i think my FW and i are really going to consider HIPV. Ha ha.
Wah Pris, you getting part-time maid? Good idea, but isn't a FT one better? Btw, my FW and me have also decided to go bridal concept. We will be calling Big Sally soon after my exams.
Any ah mais got any studying techniques for exams, those multiple choice types? I think i die liao. I do so much mock exam questions, but i can't hit the 75% passing mark.

Lance: Heh, another BC customer! Janf was also a BC bride...so is Petrina.
Big Sally is very good.
Nellie & Ivy: Thanks for the reminder. FH don't mind getting a PT maid so i'll leave it up to him to bring this issue up to my ILs.
Janf: Yep, i called up twice to enquire bout my layouts and both times, different people told me that Kit is doing my layouts. *shrugs* I'm also not sure how the system works in BC wrt layouts but i thought it was done by production house.

Hi ah mais, finally finished my final paper today and took a long nap just now. I can finally start doing interesting things.
Pris, mos: School holidays coming up, you all doing anything? Travelling? My mother bringing students to China and she says its going to be tiring. Ha ha.
Huiz: How is your job hunt coming along? Any confirm offers?
Oh, I was wondering if any of you visited Robinsons, there is a sale going. I went to the Centrepoint branch and bought a lot of health supplements. 30% off + 5% rebates if you are Robinsons card holder. I bought quite a lot. All of you should go down and see. The clothes are also having a sale. But it is crowded, the queuing to pay and try the clothes take a lot of time. Haiz.
Btw, is anybody going to watch the Midsummer Night play at Fort Canning this Saturday? Lets meetup!
I can't wait for the weekend to come. One more working day! Woohoo!

Nellie - I will be staying at Mayang Sari, those chalet huts. Prefer this over the usual hotel chalets. Hubby say he sian of those and would like a hut kinda accomodation for a change.
Oct is a good time to go Hainan. Weather is rather cooling I suppose. I think my dad has intentions to go back at the end of 2008. If he goes, I think I might tag along... hehe ;-P

Wah, going to hainan island. Its going to be fun going there. I still rem last time i went (10yrs+ ago) the baby pigs at the village so cute. And the pigeon meat there is super nice to eat . You all should go and have a good time. And visit ancestors tomb also.
I really envy u all. Everybody going holis.
Huiz: I got ask my FW to go, but she is those shy and quiet type so she originally don't wan to go. But i use the food to tempt her. Ha ha. So i think she should be going la.

huiz: don be so disheartened. just takes time sometimes. have fun with your bintan trip. but why go in june? it's school hols and i can imagine all the noisy kids at the beach or pools!
lance: i didnt try any pigeon meat when i went there. but i visited the ancestors' tombs. btw i went to the isetan sales last night. it was very packed. we bought a water distiller home. hehe.
janf: i think your in laws are similar to my folks. they would want all the offsprings to visit hainan island.
it's finally friday!

yes!! I'm done with my reports. haiz. so tired.
Huiz, dun think too much. Sometimes it comes when you least expect it. Just keep sending. When I was out of a job 3 yrs ago, also felt quite demoralised. But I just kept emailing. Then out of the blue, this one got back to me...Chin up, gal...
Janf, it'll be cool to visit there leh. My dad also like that. He wanted us to go there. Last time I was there was in 1993 (I still remember the “今天有狗肉†signboard outside a relative's shop. freaked me and my cousin out manz...). Lots of changes now. According to my brother (he no choice. He the BOY mah, so he has to go every few years...hahaha), it's quite nice and modern now...
hey sherrie, I was at Isetan last night too (the one at Shaw). But got a bit scared of the crowd lah...can't really squeeze around now...hehs. In the end, also never buy anything. hahaha.

I don't know about the other dialects, but I think Hainanese are more "homeland oriented". Die die must visit once in their lifetime. Not only to those born there (like my dad), but quite a lot of those born in Sg also go back to see the ancesteral tomb/house. This is something good too... ren zu gui zong... hehe
Sherrie, me no choice go in June coz hubby hard to take leave leh. Go too late also afraid if by then (say July) I find a job, it'll be even more difficult for me to get leave coz just join so not so nice to apply so soon lor.
Thanks folks for the encouragement! I guess I just have to persevere till I see the light at the end of the tunnel. Meanwhile I just spend my time doing what I like. After staring work proper, I wouldn't have such "luxury" liao.... hehe
Hey, so are we confirmed going to pig out at the Jap makan place? Hehe ;-P

I have never been to Hainan Island but heard from my mom that parts of the island have gorgeous scenery!
Huiz: You won't regret staying at Mayang Sari...they called it a suite & the entire chalet is much bigger than any deluxe room in hotels. I enjoyed my stay there very much it's quite "exclusive" -- there are only a total of 50 chalets!
Lance: Bring your FW along!!! It'll be great to meet her.
Where are we meeting up next Friday??

hi people!
Been busy with lots of things on hand last week... work wise, proposals, presentations and *gasp* performance appraisals! Din do too well for the year so i guess not much of a bonus for me...
personal life wise...keke..far far more interesting than work... endless meetings with ID... been to this forum and reno talk forum to check out the IDs... seems like the forum has been abused by the IDs (disguised) to bad mouth one another... seriously quite clueless where to start... we were thinking of getting 5 quotes, but shortlisting 5 seems quite difficult too..
and endless family gatherings as well. I whipped up the tiramisu for Mother's Day Celebration, turned out really good keke...
I can't wait to meet up with all of you this Fri. Think we are gonna be quite a noisy bunch of yakking mais and gor!
okie... got to go back to work... need to beef up sales pipeline for the coming new year *headache*
okie...seeya on Fri! Meet at 7pm right??

nellie: what time is the nail session?
nellie: what time is the nail session?
Dear all: i wanna intro u to the nail shop @ PS basement 1 located in front of POA shop... I did my nails for my photoshoot 2 fridays ago... until now still haven't have obvious chips on the nail... still look brand new. Based on me doing hsework everyday... French Bridal Manicure - $25
Petrina - I'll be at Hainan Island from 21st to 25th Oct. Shall see if we can meet or not
Sherrie - I'm thinking of doing my manicure at 5pm. The salon is called Professionails, located above the jap restaurant. you interested?
ok, I shall book the table at 7pm. Are we going for drinks at Oriental Hotel after dinner? If yes, I'll call up Oriental Hotel to do reservation too.

petrina, must go for NFP. It's really informative. Not only info for planning a family, but also gives an insight into your own health. Did the NFP coordinator at Blessed Sac. call you? Perhaps you can let her know ur concerns/restrictions - FH very busy, etc...and see if you all can arrange a different timing. When I went for NFP, FH was also very busy. But we managed to reschedule timings to one where he could come by after work (on Friday some more...haha.). it's only once a month, and probably 3 months - so 3 times inconvenienced. That's all. It's not an every week thingy. just sacrifice a bit that one day each month, to learn so much more about your own body...You can also consider attending it at Holy Cross.
Wah, HM at Hainan Island...quite cool leh...so much meaning. heehee...
Ok, Friday 7pm. Won't be able to join you all for drinks (darn, I'm so missing the drinking
[watever drinking sessions I used to have]) Oh well...
