Emotions...

On the 18th of April, I m extremely happy because I m back in Singapore for 2 days. Time is really really short. Reached Singapore at 3am, went to eat have supper and went home to sleep. Woke up at 10plus, had breakfast and off to Toa Payoh.

Went to see doctor at Raffles Medical because I was down with sore throat and flu. :( After that head to my favorite salon to have a new look. I was pretty sad that all the hair stylists that I knew had left. So I ask my favourite technician to recommend me one, she called her boss and they recommend me to Andy. I told Andy I want a fresh look, hopefully he will snip off my long ponytail that I have for 9 years. i told him i losing a lot of hair too. In the end, I manage to convinced him to do it(All my ex stylists said I got round face, cannot have short hair), but Andy did a good job and I love my new haircut.

Went to City Harvest for church service because we need to attend wedding tomorrow. The service was awesome and we are glad that that we are there. Had dinner with my family, I miss them badly.

Sunday, the reason we are back in singapore is to attend Mr Oink's cousin wedding. It all went well, but tiring. There were few hours break before the wedding dinner, so we decided to pamper ourselves. We went to Kenko at Singapore flyer, we had foot reflexology, back massage and the highlight is the fish spa. It was so ticklish for Mr Oink that he was giggling away, it was really good for stress relieve isnt it? The fish really did a good job, after 30mins of nibbling the dead skin off my legs, my legs feel like baby again. White and smooth. I wish i can buy the fishes home.

Monday, Feeling blue because this trip to Singapore was really short. I dont like it but no choice. The flight was delayed for an hour, add to my sian-ness. When i got home last night, I was exhausted. Met a strange man on the plane too, angry! Disturb our rest.

Today, I went back to work. I was shocked when i arrived at my favourite client's place. Mr OD, he was bedridden, his wife said he went into coma. I could believe it as he is well on friday. I tried to control my tears, but I couldnt and started crying. Mrs OD then comfort me and tell me Mr OD is not dead yet. Immediately, I felt bad for crying because I should be strong and take care of Mrs OD. It was an experience that I hate, but we have no choice and control over it.

I helped to shave and clean Mr OD, and the thought of wanting to be a nurse become stronger.

Should I or shouldnt I?

Two months and a bit more.

Wow... Time flies(I think this is my fav starting sentence). Havent been blogging for a while. Miss me?

Let me think, what happen during these 2 months?? I try to remember ok because i think somehow i suffer from memory lost.

We moved in to our nest about 1 month ago. It is still in a mess, lack of storage area. My friends doesnt believe what i say and told me that i moved from a smaller place to a bigger place, how can it be. Well, indeed is a bigger place but the old place got more cupboards to hide things away, but not this. Staying in perth means everything is cheaper if u do it yourself(DIY), so my dear husband tried his very best to DIY a lot of things, he is now super handy man. Although there is place for improvement. haha.

We tried our best to get our house ready for the arrival of my in laws(parent, sister and brother). They arrived on the 20th of March to spend 9 days here. This trip was planned as a birthday and wedding anniversary present for my in laws. We had a wonderful time together and a lot of good food. The highlight is our 3 days and 2 nights trip to Margaret River.

We went to Busselton, but lazy to walk the 3.6 km jetty. We had a delicious meal at The Goose. We stayed in the forest. Yes, in the forest. A fully equip house. My sister and brother in law(sbil) and us stayed in a 2 bed room house and my parent in law(pil) stayed in a 1 bedroom house. Woohoo. We wanted them to have their privacy. The setting of the house is so romantic and relaxing. The best place is the bathroom with a big jacuzzi with see thru ceiling. We helped each couple to set up the bathroom at night with relaxing music, warm jacuzzi, champagne and candles. And with a beautiful and mysterious starry starry night just above. Isnt it great? Oh.. I love it!

We had a sumptuous bbq the aussie way. Wild kangaroos along the way, cycling in the forest, beautiful jewel cave, lighthouse, chocolate factory and vineyard.

They went back on Sunday and I really missed them. Wont be long till i see them again... In 3 weeks time. Yeah...

So fast I m backed.

Same opening sentence, Time flies. It was like few days back that I m looking forward to go to Singapore, and now I m back home. This trip back to Singapore was really good. A lot of food like usual, I think there isnt any day that I actually feel hungry, because there are abundant of food.

I tried like more than 8 different kind of pineapple tarts. Yummy! Going back to Singapore during CNY can be quite expensive. Air ticket, buy new clothes(apparently i didnt buy much becuase dont have my size), give ang pows and buy new year goodies. But I really love the spend I spent with my love ones. 

There are so many stories to tell, but I m simply lazy to blog. haha.

Just wanna share my thots about Singapore.

Looking forward, yet was quite a disappointment.

Am I in Singapore or another foreign land.

Are people speaking better mandarin or they are simply imported.

Everywhere is surrounded by people that are from everywhere.

So packed, so noisy.

This is not the Singapore I know, is invaded by others.

Honk Honk Honk, is making me frustrated.

Where have all your patience gone to? 

Why are you always rushing?

Haha... :)

Buzzing around

Can You believe it, we arrived in Singapore at about 3am and reached home about 4, and i think we manage to sleep at 4plus. On the same day, we had 3 weddings to attend, at 11am, 2pm and 6pm. I m really really at my low batt form.

The first wedding is so traditional and so touching. The second one is very contemporary and the last on is relaxing.

On Sunday, we went to church, it really a happy occasion, going to church with my PIL and SIL, worshiping together. Then we went to visit ah ma, dad's childhood friend and we proceed to dinner. We had roti prata near botanic garden and we went to Damsey road for Ben and Jerry. The design and ambience is really nice, great place to hang out.

Yesterday, I made up my mind to do lasik. It was quite an experience and now i feel so good having good eveysight without glasses or contact lens. Cool!

Guess where am I?

Hello... finally the day have arrived. We are now at the airport waiting to board the plane to.... SINGAPORE! Hopefully, DH and I can take this time to really relax ourselves because of the new house, we have been really tired, especially DH.

Really thank God for His blessing, that we can find such a good couple to live with for the past 1 week. Although we didnt manage to settle our rental situation, we decided to let it go and spend the $1k to be stress free. It is really a lesson learnt.

So remember, always have black and white, thru conversation only is equivalent to nothing. 

Finally Move

Finally, we moved out from rental property and move to our neighbor's house as known as our church friends too. The past few days has been really busy. But I think my DH work twice as hard as me. I cant imagine life without my DH.

The flooring is half way done, so is really good. Today, we had an issue with the rental property agent because they say we didnt write in a notice. so sad. we probably have to pay penalty of about $1000, and the reason we are moving out earlier is to save the money. so feeling so sian now. 

Do pray for us that we can save the money and the agent will understand.

Blame it on the hot weather.

OMG, it is so hot now. It is about 39 degree. As you know we got our keys and had started painting. And the useless me actually fell sick. I did still help out with some painitng until my DH asks me not to do it. 

I called up my coordinator to tell them I cannot sick because I m afraid that i will spread the virus to the aged. But I think they really do not have enough staffs that they ask me to wear a mask instead. What the?! Anyway, I still report to work and try my best to stay away from the aged.

DH wakes up early every morning to go and paint the house. Thank God for friends, many actually help us out. We are now 95% to completion on painting. 

Today, as usual I went to work, and bought another bottle of cough syrup. I hope i will get well soon because we are moving on the 3rd Jan. As for packing, i think we only done 20%. Oops.

Feeling a bit drowsy, i think i better go rest so that i will be able to welcome 2009 with a healthy body.

As for new year resolutions, let me think about it. 

Thank you for all my family and friends that have such great blessing in our life. Especially the best man in the world, my Mr Oink!! xoxoxoxoxoxo Cant express how important you are. :)
