Voice Back

This will be much to the dismay of many people......

I managed to regain my voice back within - 24 hours !

This is the fastest record ever since the first time I lost my voice. I'm also much taken by surprise ......

That day when my voice was lost, I actually drank more than I eat..... basically, I ate because the western medicine to be taken after food.

You will never believe what I have taken into my stomach that day..... Here's a rundown....from western to chinese to natural.....

1) Alvin called upom his doc's fren to get medication for me the night before when I was very uncomfortable in the late evening...so I had tablets for loss of voice, the reduce of phlegm and antibiotics to kill all the bacteria......I have to take them 3 times a day faithfully :<

2) In the late morning, Stella said a chinese 'liang teh' is good for regaining voice but she cannot recall the name in such a short time..... When lunchtime, she finally remember the name of the 'liang teh' and bought me a bottle of blacky water and it's called 'Lo Han Guo'..... I downed it within 2 hours..... and I felt my throat more smooth and a little voice is back though I can't speak a proper sentence by at least a word or two....

3) I went Robinsons to collect my reserved lingerie and the Wacoal (aunty) sales person was surprised I lost my voice because the first time she saw me, I was very chirpy ! So, she recommended me to drink starfruit + apples + a dash of salt - juice, minus the ice. The drink will help to 开声 after that. Well, there's no harm trying so on my way home, I decided to drop by TBP food court and help myself to a cup.... And instead.... you say miracle or what..... I manged to speak at least a sentence or two though my voice is still very coarse...

4) While on my way to the foodcourt, I passed by a chinese 药材店 and decided to buy a bottle of 'Lo Han Guo'.... when the lady realised I am on the verge of losing my voice (though it was lost already the night before), she strongly recommended me to drink 止咳茶 andshe insisted I must finished it that night and no way to keep it till the next day as the 'strength' of the drink will be greatly reduced..... So, 'quai quai' I finished the whole bottle, waited for 2 hours before I finished off a muffin and took the western medicine before heading to bed....

The next day, I awoke with my voice back - still coarse, but at least I can rattle off a conversation.... instruct the movers what to take first, what's not to move first, etc..... & I can also 'suan' people too..... ha ha ha........

So you ask me which one actually helps, I also dun know... but the next time if I lose my voice again, I'm going to try all the above again.....

What A Way To Start Office Removal

我 'shi sheng' 了 !!!!!!

Not 失身 , is 失声 ........

Today is also considered an important day for the office as we are making the final check to the shift to the new office tomorrow.

What a way to mark the move ! I can't talk as I like to talk..... I couldn't nag and scold people like I always do if things don't go my way...... I couldn't 'evil' people which will be much to the delight of my lurpy sista.... but it's okay, I got the other Evil Twin to help me out........

I really hate losing my voice which I'm am very prone to it since secondary school days..... This will happen to me at least once a year. I don't know how it will happen to me as there is always no symptons to it, like it just happen overnight.....

Anyway, it's a peace to many people and they are happy about it because this is the only time they can 'suan' me without me talking back or 'suaning' back even bigger time..... ha ha ha....

And I guess it's peace to my 'ang'. Whenever, I lost my voice, he will ask me numerous questions upteem times which expect me to answer in this condition and this really irritates me..... wait till I'm better and I regain my voice. He is going to get it from me !

My Wedding Pictures (from Macau)

My wedding pictures taken at 4 locations in Macau have finally arrived ! I'm supposed to send a courier to pick them up but my dear brother went Macau for a holiday. How coincidence and nice of him to offer to pick it up for me ! So, I ask Joan to assisted to double up the job and my brother picked them up for me !

Here are some of the pictures that I taken (with my camera) off from the albums. It's inconvenient to bring around and so I've decided to show them here.... hee hee.....

Please dun laugh at me...... the aunty......

Location 1 - 星星公园

Location 2 - 灯塔 The Lighthouse

Location 3 - 大三巴 aka St. Paul's Cathedral

Location 4 - 婆仔屋

The package also come with a signing scroll and I particularly like it a lot......

We were actually told to walk towards the camera, looking in front, when tis pic was taken. But because the dress was too long and I kept stepping on it when I walked. So, I kept giggling and screaming to Alvin that I'm going to trip anytime and he rebarked laughing, ' You better dun fall, your dress is going to fall and you are going to look so ugly ! '

And the pic actually turned out well much to our surprise !

Tea Dress

After my facial, I've decided to visit Empire located at Bukit Pasoh Road in Chinatown. According to Fifi, they sell quite a number of tea dresses and some cheaonsam - inpsired dresses. Since I couldn't set my eyes on any cheaonsams or cheongsam - inspired kind of tea dress I like off so manyr acks I've seen. I decided to pay this boutique a visit.


And so, I ramaged through the hanging racks and walls for something I can find and shortlised 3 pieces to try. One was a red short dress with black netting over it. Sort of like it because I don't have a red number for my wedding since it's my favourite colour. 2nd was a bustier short purple dress with golden lace all over it. 3rd, I picked a cheongsam - inpsired piece, a thai silk pastel purple short cheongsam - kind.



The red - OUT. It's too body hugging at my hips. The lace bustier - not bad..... but..... my evening gown is already lace, my wedding gown i bustier...so hang on till I tried the cheongsam one. Fits nicely except on the boops...coz I got not enough flesh lah....... And I realised.... hey this is the BM BOM dress that Fifi had ! Ha ha ha........



So which one I get ?????



Ta - Da ..................

It's the BOM BOM cheongsam !!!!!!

Feifei said I got not enough boobs, cannot show off the cleavage, as you are not suppose to wear anything inside..... but I dun care lah..... I will find a way to show some cleavage..... The design is simple, classic yet not modern........

I'll think of a way......

Wedding Cards

I awoke so early today on a Saturday because I need to go and collect my wedding cards. There are total 300 pieces of them and I cannot imgne they are so heavy !

I had to lug them back from Kallang Bahru where the printer is under the scorching blarring sun, though I keep admiring them on the journey home....

So, to all my friends and close relatives.....

Watch out for my Golden 'bomb' in your letterbox ! Prepare your Ang Pow.....Kim Pow also can !

Hee Hee Hee.....

Super Dog

I had a delicious brunch yesterday at Vivio City. It's located at B2.

It's like a fast food restaurant and similar to MOS Burger for the way your food is prepared. They will only prepare your food when you order

It's Super Dog !!!!!!

This is a set meal and it set me back for $8.70. Gurp....... That's expensive for a fast food meal..... I like to try new things and hope it will not disappoint me.....

It was an Ice Lemon Tea and Super Dog promised home-made. Well, I don't know if it is really home-made BUT it tastes real tea - bitter yet a little sweetness, with the lemon added, it diffushes bitter, sweet and sourness taste. It does taste like own brewed tlemon tea and I can tell it is definitely not the same lemon tea you drank at other fast food outlets.

Next, the HOT DOG ! The bread is soft, with a strip of bacon in it, wrapping the beef hot dog, with cheese bits, fresh onion bits and special conocted chilli sauce on it. It is definitely every cent spent worth it !

Lastly, the fries ! Very crispy on the outside and soft and pippy hot on the inside. Definitely one of the best fries I've ever eaten and I couldn't stop thining of it the whole day......

Yummy !

I'm Dying .... ....

I'm dying ..... .....

dying from tummy bloatness...... dying from constipation ......

After 5 hours of packing in the office.... with constant sneezing as companion..... I'm caught the flu..... I think I caught the virus from my 'ang' who was feverish, runny nose and sore throat since last Tuesday......

Shit ! I should have stayed away from him.....

Now, I dying from a heav head and blocked with water dripping nose.....

Help .........

My PRICELESS Wedding Pressie

My mentor tucked me this when we were in the K room last Thrusday crooning away......

Mentor : Want to eat mua chee ?

Me : Mua Chee ...... ????

Mentor : My friend gave to me. You open......

Me : Huh ? your fren give u ? Then u open lah....

Mentor : u open.....

Me : cannot ! you open !!!

Mentor : u open lah !!!!!!

Me : Ai yo ! I open... I open ......

' Huh ? How come got 'Xuang Xi' ?? Mua Chee in a Precious Moments box ??? ' I thought to myself when the scarf was undone and the box is staring at me while it laid on my lap.

Oops ! Dun tell me it's the disc ........

Yay ! See , isn't it nice ? My mentor compose a tune for me as my wedding present. And the tune is saved in this CD that was painstaking decorated by her.

I am very touched and I fell so blessed and blissful....... The tune is lovely, romantic and soothing.... she got the inspiraton for the opening of the tune from the date of my wedding.... it's juz so mine and I'm so grateful deep down my heart for the effort she had put in.

So, pull your ears big big and catch the tune during the banquet !

Crispy Twisty

You know what is this ?

I am not picky about food and I eat most of the edible stuffs that are served to me or I can find.... however, this is something that I have or will never touch.... My mentor & lurpy sista swear by this ultimate food. They have attained the Platinum 'card' status of gourmet !

It's the most 'lethal' of all food......

So what is it ?

Deep Fried Pig Oil cubes.....

Mountains of Cartons

We'll be shifting office again ....... end of this month .......

I think I never moved office so many times in my whole life. This will be my 2nd move while I'm with Insight but it will be my 3rd since I started working..... Goodness ..... Till now, I have only moved house twice and the 3rd one coming and I swear I'm not going to move house again !!!!

It's so tedious and so many things to pack - & 'lagi' best, you still have to unpack !

But move house if definitely much easier, you do not hesitate to throw away stuffs that you dun need anymore. BUT moving office is entirely different. You CAN'T THROW AWAY things as you like. Many document contains important information for your work, whether you are going to use it now or not, but it may some day become useful - you never knows.... so practically, you can't throw away many things......

Worst, every dammed thing I'm going to throw has to go via the boss. At least I have an excuse to say that 'You said can throw mah' when he wanted to find the document later ... hee hee.....

So for the next 2 weeks and so, I'm going to be a labourer.....

Chinese Dictionary

THIS has been with me since I was 13 years old......

It is kept in some boxes, somewhere round the corner of the room. So why is it on the desk now ?

Well, despite my best effort not to disturb her, I have no choice until 2 days ago that I 'woke' her up from her sleep after 11 years' of sleep. She has 'retired' since I was 16 years old.

I was drafting up the guest list for the upcoming banquet and to make reading and co-oridination simpler, I've decided to transfer all the chinese names that my parents-in-law and my parents have written into the excel sheet.

After so many years of of not really getting into reading chinese, I cannot read quite a number of words and have to retort to checking the dictionary to get the pronounciation right. So that, I can 'pin yin' in the computer and pick the right words....

No too bad afterall, I still remember how to use a chinese dictionary...... I manage to find out how to read all those words that I stumbled upon except 3 !

ha ha ha ...... I'll try harder ......

Golden Bangles

Way way before we decided to hold our much awaited dinner banquet, my mum has been telling me what are the traditional things I should received from my future mother in law.......

My mum: we hokkien har, marry daughter hor, your in-laws must give me pig's leg......so relatives know I marry my daughter.....but I don't want real pig's leg.... so 'mah fan' I still muz cut..... tell yr mother in law give me canned pig's leg can oready....

Me: Orhh........

My mum: & then hor, your in-laws muz also give you a pair of bangles.... that's our hokkien custom.......

Me: Muz it be gold ?

My mum: Of coz gold better lah........ but I know u dun like gold...u go and settle wif yr in-laws....

Oh well, I really dun like to wear gold.... I find their design so obiang and o-bit...... I have already warned my mum way way before to tell all my aunties not to buy me any gold for goodness sake and I'm thinking of how to tell me mum in law I dun want GOLD bangles.......

When my dear sista knew about this..... wah piang, I really kenna lor.....

Fifi : dun be a silly gal, of coz u have to get gold lah..... gold next time will fetch better value.... dun wear also nevermind...... muz be gold... dun be stupid......

Ok lor...... I better be a clever gal...... I think......

And so, without even I have to say anything..... my mum in law 'automatic' told me some weeks ago that she has to give me a pair of bangles according to our hokkien custom.... Avin is one too....

And so, I'm supposed to 'date' her so that I can pick the bangles of my choice.....

Last Saturday evening, I'm supposed to go to her place to discuss the namelist for the banquet, ended up, we went to a goldsmith shop.... She even know better than me that which goldsmith shops has very modern design for gold........

So, we happliy went to IMM with 3 mens in toll standing outside the goldsmith shop as if they are bodyguards while we take our time to pick the choice.....

After filling both of my arms with GOLDEN bangles........ I shortlisted some of them and laid my eyes on this........

I find the design modern , means I can wear it anytime got people invite me go atas place to 'chiat tok'..... it is GOLD yet with stylish white gold to accompliment it........ and I'm happy bcoz I'm a clever gal.......

But seriously, this goldsmith really carries very modern design for gold and I fall in love with a pair of golden earring, so 'swee'.........

So now, I got to wait..... coz I'm supposed to receive a pair..... goldsmith said got to go factory to collect 1 more for me......

My GOLD bangle 'swee' boh ????

My Seamtress

She also makes wedding gowns...... but she does it for photography shoot only and after that, she will sell it away at unbelieveable prices....

When I was there to collect my gown, she just completed some wedding gowns for a photography event and she proudly display one of her favourites from her current collection at the front of her shop......

It is so nice and I secretly took a picture of it !

The Evening Gown

Last week was a mad week ! It was the travel fair aftermath. I guessed everyone who had particpated in the travel fair in a way or another were busy to the brim after that Sunday. Agents busy going through the bookings done over the 3 days, people like me busy over unpacking the stuffs, collating databases collected during the fair, working out the sales figures, etc , etc..... & shoppers like you... muz be busy going thru the stack of rubbish you had collected while you are at the fair. Ha ha !!!!!

Despite the buzz, I still managed to hop over to the seamtress to collect my evening gown.

YAY ! It was ready 2 weeks ago but I couldn't find the time to go and collect it.....

It was what I wanted and I was so delighted !

It was a bit tight at the tummy and stomach area and the streamtress' mum keeping telling me to lose weight.... ha ha ha..... I bet I will ended up asking the seamtress to expand it instead !

* Tang tang tang tang !!!!! *

Here it is ....... happily resting on my door now......
