Wake Up and Smell the Cake

Yeah Good Friday was last week, but today's my good Friday! Hehe :))) Morning's presentation was very well received Alhamdulillah :) I like to thank my boss (who's reading this) for his time and effort and for obediently taking the laser pointer HAHAHAHA. Sorry hehehe :p And today I've decided to try something during lunch! ;) Haven't done it before, and because of the new building, it is very convenient to try out! Hehe. We'll see how it goes :) Toodles!

Goodness. I just watched the Funeral advert again on TV, and I teared. AGAIN . It just hits your heart so deeply every single time! In the end, it's these small things that you remember, the little imperfections, that make them perfect, for you . So to my beautiful children, I hope one day you too will find yourselves life partners who are as beautifully imperfect as your father was to me. And you are the perfect beautifully imperfect one for me :)

The girls talked about language of love the other day. I was like, what's that? It's actually five types of ways you or someone expresses love: words of affirmation, quality time, receiving of gifts, acts of service, and physical touch. People usually have one or two which is more prominent and preferred. When the girls asked me what's mine, I was like, ehhh I think all of the above lah! HAHA! :p But anyway, I took a quiz and turns out! I love quality time the most (11 out of 12) and receiving gifts least (1 out of 12)! Haha! My husband-to-be is a very lucky man! No need to buy gifts! HAHAHAHAHAHHA!! :D

Blk 4 Toa Payoh masala thosai is THE comfort food of the moment! Move away, chocolate! Haha Now I'm stuffed! :)

I would like to say a BIIIGGGG thank you to my boss for all that he did to make the good news of yesterday and today happen. I think I shall renew the star sticker of "Best Head in the World". For the new office lah maybe haha. I skipped dinner and now I'm reaally hungry. Bad bad habit. Remember what Confucius disciple said, no dinner yesterday make you hungry man/woman at 7am, 9am, 11am in the morning. Looks like my tummy will be having an earthquake every now and then tomorrow morning. Important date to note: 27 April 2009!! :))) Hopefully there's no complications! Yesterday I went to Sembawang Shopping Centre. I don't like the parking there. Firstly, they're wasting space. More lots could have been built! Secondly, they'll let in cars as long as there's an empty lot. Which is the norm, except for the fact that even handicapped lots are included! Like hello!! You let me in, I dun have a sticker, where you expect me to park you tell me!!! So, I

Fruits have mutated. Here's one: Whoa!! Damn big leh! This is by far the biggest grape I've ever seen! Twice the size of a 50 cent coin! Note: No foto enlargements have been made. Betul punya gambar!

Wah sehhhh Tired. Fang's married! My first chinese wedding! Better still, I was one of the jie mei! Fun hor! :) Yesterday was Fang's wedding dinner, this morning was the tea ceremony. Tired lorrr. I'll write a longer post on her wedding, when I'm less tired. Haha. Left earlier cos I've another wedding later! *faints* Hopefully I won't be left alone or something. Confirm not familiar with the people there. Maybe I should sleep for a while. Ta-ta~

Smitten all over again :) I like!!

I am not looking forward to tomorrow morning. For two reasons. A redundant presentation, and a missing person two missing persons. But I hope to hear very good news in the afternoon! All the best! :) My productivity rate surged, peaked then plunged. HAHA. I told you the motivation doesn't last! Hmm. Not all motivation is lost, only half of it. I hope after tomorrow it won't be all gone. Tengok lah! Bukan nak buat kerja, buat ni graph bukannya ada apa-apa hasil pun! Hehhehehe. Okay I shall stop this and go back to work and go home.

After yesterday's morning meeting, I feel motivated to work! Motivation like that doesn't come often, you know. Haha. Hope it lasts! I went to the doctor - again. Sian. Wah this time har! The antibiotics sucks big time! The most bitter thing I've ever tasted! Really! I put it in my mouth, tried to drink quickly but I ended up spurting out the whole thing. Bleargh. I feel like my tastebuds DIED because of the medicine. No amount of gargling can get rid of it. I even used a tissue to wipe my tongue. Luckily there's lozenges. But the lozenges weren't that nice after some time too. Haha. I hate being sick.

Smitten. Just smitten :)

Today's papers featured couples that withstood and overcame big challenges, a special report in the spirit of Valentine's Day I guess. Nevertheless, they are truly touching and inspiring stories. Very good reminders not to take our loved ones for granted, and also to show us what true love means. For better or worse, for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death do us part. Of course I'd like to change the last part to "till death do us part - temporarily". ;) A vow so common that may have lost its significance, but one which truly encompasses love in a marriage. All of us should be reminded of this from time to time.

HAHAHHAHAHA I was munching on muruku (I still am) and my colleague sent this to me:

I attended a meeting just now where there were two very experienced big shot Muslim (I don't think they're pure Malay ahahahha) accountants. Very refreshing I tell you! I feel like I haven't been exposed to such thinking for quite some time now. The details they were able to pick out, how they can link with various laws, regulations and practices, I haven't been doing that much recently. It's not just about numbers, it's about the objective behind them, behind the actions. Even the way they spoke about corporate governance was like something fresh for me. I guess I have been tweaking corporate governance so much to fit the third sector that I am beginning to lose what I've learnt before. I dunoe! They're just, err, structured. HAHA. Okay probably not the most accurate word there. I felt enlightened! I felt so, hmm, at home! Motivated, even! It's not easy for me to feel motivated lately. Haha. I feel deprived.

Pillar of strength; backbone. I wanna add to that: number one supporter :)

Ya lor I did!! Amazing rite! Haha! To be specific, beef rendang, fried cabbage and rice. Pretty simple hor. Haha. Guess how long I took!! Two and a half hours. Preparation, cooking, cleaning. Muahahaha. Ya man that long! Did the whole thing while my mum went to the market. No supervision and no one to ask guidance from. So naturally, I made a few mistakes. Hehe. I forgot which one is ketumbar which one is jintan. So what did I do? I googled both to see what it looks like. Haha! I love google. I used corningware to cook the rempah + meat, then I realised it's too freaking small for me to stir the whole thing, so I had to quickly wash the larger wok which was partially filled with oil so that I can use it instead. Haha. I was cooking the meat halfway then I stopped the fire wahahhaha. I hope it didn't affect the meat. LOL. Hee hee if my mum saw this, confirm get scolding one :p I didn't time when I started to cook the meat. I forgot to cook rice. AHHAHAHA. My mum re

Chocolates are no longer a source of comfort. You are.

I met the wife of my colleague at another colleague's wedding today - luckily! I thought I was gonna be alone, no kaki you know. My usual kakis all couldn't make it, or came at different time. Then then! At the carpark, we saw the two of them walking towards the block, heng ah!! The wife and I are somewhat in the same situation, well not exactly situation, more like scenario?, just that she's one step ahead of me. I think we both can share a lot of things eh... I see similarities. Muahahahaha. We should form a wives club! Woohoo. I bet our husbands will shake their head in disbelief when that happens. Hahaha!

Pineapple tarts again! Hehe. But only one batch, makes six trays plus 3 big gingerbreadmen :) For exclusive people only. HAHA. These are the beauties! Awaiting turn to be baked! The 3 gingerbreadman shaped cookies! Wahaha. My sister loves them. Cos she likes to eat crust. Haha. One each for us kids! Decor's by me and my brother. "Ooh I can't wait for the pineapple tarts!", says Chip. Yeahhh. All done :)

I'd want a guy who can make my heart go flutter-flutter Appreciates me much more than his car(s) Wins my heart over and over again Knows me so well I hate that I can't hide from him
