Facebook "flattery"

OMG! I can't believe this!

Check this out. "Someone" actually took the effort to write about me on FB! Like literally spelled out my name LOL!

I print screen it, just for the heck of it. Obviously, I cut out the person's name and those who have commented and liked it because I respect other's privacy, not like this person.


OK. Let's refer to this person as "M". M actually took the effort to write about me in FB and actually typed in my full name on FB. M didn't even take the courtesy to be discreet. So I guess M must really hate me huh? Hmm I don't give a flying shit either cos I myself don't particulary fancy M either.

For those who does not know who M is, M is a person working in my office but in a different department. Both our departments have never looked at the same path. Our bosses never have their own opinions, and thus, we have our way of functioning in our respective departments. With that, we will always be against each other, and their department has referred us as their "enemies".

To me, work is work - It is suppose to stay professional. We have to stick to our rules and instructions by our boss and also protect our rights. It's just not my fucking fault that some clients just prefer to book with us... And don't point the finger at us. If they have done their job, they should have very well close the blardy deal in the first place.

What M meant by "karma"? I reckon because one deal went to their department this week, and she thought it is like a karma to be cos they always believe that we "steal" their deal. If that is the case, why can't it be vice versa? Why is it always us who steal the deal but not them? Who gave them the blardy exclusive right to any deal in the first fucking place?

Never expect us to be soft and sweet - Trust me, we are far from that. We will fight for our deals, and will claim it. It is our money too... not just yours.

I'm not pissed, cos I've been through all these nasty stares and comments... So much that I'm used to it. I have only one mission - To earn as much money as I can. I am not obligated to be friends with them. I am just glad I have friends in my own department (present and ex-ME), and that is enough for me.

So, M - You can go fuck yourself, cos you seriously need to get a life. Ranting on FB is just an act of childishness displayed publicly. Like WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU THINKING?!

Oh I forgot, you don't think. Sigh... What a waste of brain space.

Ettusais shopping haul

Just the other day I was in Isetan during lunch hour and realised that Isetan was having the 20th Anniversary sale... And it was the 1st 3 days with special promo for members. There were gift bags lay out (they called it the lucky draw bag) and working ladies were surrounding the area.

I took no interest (initially) cos I thought it was another marketing scheme that give out vouchers for stuff that I don't need. But as I was waiting for Rock Chick to browse her item, I got curious with the crowd. Apparently, they are allowed to open the lucky draw bags and see what is inside before deciding if they wanna purchase it.

Then, I saw this lucky bag that caught my eye - It was the Ettusais lucky draw bag.

In the bag consists of:

Pore concealer

Black pencil eyeliner

Loose powder

Nail polish

How much for all these?

RM50!!!!! Hell yeah!!!

Unbelievable right? Apparently, all the items actually cost about RM200++.
I reckon I got a huge, satisfying deal! And am so happy with my shopping haul! Luv it!

A lil something for Mae

One of our dear friends, Mae will have (had) her wedding in Perth on 10.10.10. It is such a shame that we can't be there to witness and be with her on one of her happiest days.

So, we did a lil something for her. As Lisa has put it, since we can't be there physically with you, we will be there virtually. We made this lil video for her, and seeked her husband's help to play this for her during her wedding.

Check out the video. Big kudos go to Lisa Tan! Great job babe!

Ps. Pls excuse some of the pictures. They were not touch up because it was "stolen" from FB.

Hope the wedding went better than planned, Mae! We can't wait to see the pictures and videos from your wedding! Send it to us soonest!

CONGRATS to you and James again!

Post-honeymoon trip - Approved!

Planning ahead, I've mentioned to hubby long before our wedding about celebrating our 1st year ROM anniversary somewhere. It can also be in conjunction with our post-honeymoon trip. It could be somewhere near and short just to mark our 1 year anniversary.

Places suggested were:

• Singapore - I wanna go to the USS
• Bali - The last time I went there, we were pretty broke and didn't quite enjoy ourselves

At first, hubby was against it because we might not have the budget for this trip after our wedding. But right after our wedding dinner, hubby said we can squeeze the trip in.

So we are going to BALI in December!! YAY!

We had to go through massive, unnecessary trouble with Hong Thai with this as we were planning to use the deposit we have with them to transfer to this trip. No thanks to their inefficiency, we were informed that the hotel we want has been fully booked... Which leaves us no choice but to choose another hotel and pay for it ourselves. The deposit? We insisted that they refund it to us, of course! I'm warning you guys - DON'T book with Hong Thai. This is my personal opinion OK!

So we made our own reservation and bookings, and TA-DA!! We have booked ourselves to Bali. schedule to leave on 26th Dec 2010 and be back on 29th Dec 2010.

We will be flying there by Air Asia. December is peak period for almost everywhere! But this is the only time I can take my holidays with no worries and at peace of mind. So, paying more is the price I have to pay!

Air Asia's confirmation to Bali

And the hotel we will be staying is Alam Kulkul in Kuta. It is standard pricing for almost all hotels in Bali, about RM450 per room per night. Why did we choose this? This hotel has direct access to the beach. Whenever we go for beach holidays, we always want our hotel to have direct beach access. There really is no point going for beach holidays and not be near the beach right?!

I've always booked my hotel with Agoda. It's fast, convenient, and most of all, they are cheaper than everywhere else I've looked at.

Agoda's confirmation to Alam Kulkul

Hurry! My year end trip is confirmed. Can't wait for this, and Europe!

All's well, Ends well

It's been forever since I've updated my blog! LOL! I was so busy since the wedding, and could only have time finally to jot something nice... Just to show that I am still here!

Well, tea ceremony on the 18th Sept went well... It was tiring, but enjoyable. After the ceremony, we rested, and went clubbing at G6. We wanna thank all our heng dais and ji muis for all the help.

I got this picture from our very helpful friend, Yew Li aka the photographer.

Preparing for our prayers

I'll need time to get the pictures from our hired photographer, and write fully on what happened during our wedding.

Until then, I have another wedding to attend this Saturday. Ciao!

24 hours!

In exactly 24 hours will be my wedding! OMG!! Still in disbelief mood!!!

For picture sake, below is the hand corsage that I've got for my ji muis. Simple rose corsage. I actually wanted daisies but I've searched high and low, and nobody has it. I want a silk daisy corsage but no such thing. Daisies corsages are normally available in fresh flowers. So I have no choice but to get this.

Peach rose hand corsage

Next blog post would be from moi, the traditionally married woman LOL!

Can't wait! Till then, signing off and hoping everything goes better than planned! *fingers crossed*

Delivery of Betrothal Gift / Ko Dai Lai

Last Sunday was the auspicious date for the delivery of betrothal gift from the groom's family to the bride's family. Mum-in-law has been very busy searching for all the items requested by my dad for the delivery. On the eve of the delivery date, I can see that she is so worn out from all the preparation. Sigh weddings really have so much to do.

Although there was a major drama that happened right before this occasion, everything is solved and though not all party wins, but majority wins...

So anyways, the auspicious time to delivery the gifts was between 9.30am - 10.30am. I went over to dad's place earlier and waited for hubby to come with the gifts. I know it's silly of me, but I was so excited LOL!

These are the gifts that the groom's family sent over. Hubby got the help of his auntie to be the representative to deliver the gifts.

Roast pork

2 chickens

2 bottles of liquor

Fruits - Oranges and pears

L-R: Red cloth, Double Happiness Chinese Candles

Dad requested for the traditional Hokkien wedding cakes to be delivered. Mum-in-law went ll the way to Brickfields to look for it and placed the orders.

Traditional Wedding Cake 3 & 4

To accommodate both my parents, mum-in-law went the extra mile to look for the modern wedding cakes for my mum. Mum wants modern wedding cakes cos she's not Hokkien, and mum-in-law found it from Tong Kei. Luckily, mum-in-law is an understanding person and did not complain about the fuss kicked up by my parents.

Modern Wedding Cake

This is additional. Cos it is the mooncake festival and hubby has already bought this earlier, we brought it along to give it to my dad. Dad said to leave it on the prayers table be presented to the Gods and ancestors.

Mooncake

According to grandma, since the groom has delivered the gifts, we have to return the favor. So she packed a little bit of everything that was delivered to return to the groom. Dad replaced the alcohol with 2 bottles of red wine.

Since we got the return cakes and mum-in-law can't finish it, she gave some to us so that I can bring some back to my colleagues to share it. As I have not seen the cakes before, I opened it and photographed it for memory keepsake.

This is cake's filling is sweet and kinda sticky. Very tasty!
