Happy times part 1


Our First trip, when we were there I'm so happy, and silly me still want to be hero, with so thin clothes and dare to take a night bus, which end up, me begin cold. And worse of all my slipper broken. So many funny incidents. So happy then...


Our recent trip to Egypt, these are taken at the Singapore airport.



My baby 1st time riding a camel, this is really my hubby. Even though it is small, but i know it is him.
I finally complete my 10km, but of course can't compare to my huddy's 42 km. But as usual after his long run, his toe nail will come off. I feel very heart pain everytime I see that. But I'm proud of my hubby completing this race.

Haha this was taken at our recent group gathering, I remember we fought before we come to the party. But after we talk, we are ok. And so coincidentally, we won the best couple awards. I hope we will be.

A place for our own - our new beginnings

Finally, own our home. Today is the day, where I collecting the our new house keys. And i feel a bit sad that my dear is not with me. But I have my family to support me, like my dad even offer to send me there to company to collect the keys. But i dun want him to be too tried, as he Friday he worked till 3am, reached home around 3.30am. So I rather he sleep longer.
So my mother waked my sister up, so someone can accompany me to collect keys. And my sister did, even though she only sleep only for a few hours too. Below is a photos, we taken when we are waiting for the "Kan cheong" officer to help us in the paper work. She is messy, and confuse, so it take us 2 hrs plus to finish the whole procces.



Hooray!!!!! the keys!!!!!!


There are total 21 keys, including letter box, services box, rooms key, door & gate keys. And of course spare key. Now waiting for mummy and daddy to come home, so we can view our place. They had been very helpful, like daddy is rushing all his projects on hand to help to make my house, and my mother is sick for the past 3 weeks, and her cheek is swalloen but still want to help me. Thanks daddy and mummy.
Before we go to my new house, we bring baby's car for a wash, so it can be clean and new hehe like our house. We are at the car wash!! Then we went to chinatown to buy daddy's medication for his knee, and mummy vitamins.

After inspecting the house, with the help from my mum and dad and sister. The gate very hard to open, all windows ok, the service box my key can't lock. And our letter box is too dull, the have thing dated from 2002. Oh my.... So I had to clear it after we left the house. On the way back, Daddy and Mummy is discussing on how to make our room to look bigger, use what flooring will be better and cheaper. I really appreciate them for helping me in all these.

Bitten By Wait-Long-Long Bug

I have tonnes of experiences for just a short stay in Egypt. Some are frustrating and some are funny....

Today, I want to tell my wife about the Wait-Long-Long Bug Story. Yeah, you can find them almost everywhere! Breed in Egypt.

I give you one example here, why you will hate the wait long long bug here so much but you can't do anything to avoid the bug:

You wait long long when you want to install a new air-conditional unit (because the old one have no heater). They will take out the old unit, leave the old casing there. Then try to put the new unit into the old casing and found out that the old casing is too small. Then they take out the old casing and change to new casing. Then they found out that the original wall opening is too small, the new casing can't fit in! Then they remove the casing, unscrew everything again, and hack the wall to give bigger space. Then they do not have proper tool, so they use plier to slowly plier open the wooden wall, bit by bit. Then finally the wall opening is big enough, they realise that they need one more wooden plank to support the AC unit because of the bigger opening...so they go find wood. When they finally got the wood, nail it in, slide in the new casing, slide in the unit itself, connect the power cable, switch on the air con.....NO HOT AIR COMING OUT! THE UNIT NEED TO CHANGE, BRAND NEW AND SPOILT! Oh well....next what they do? You read the whole thing in reverse order.....they fix back the old air con and went home.

What an adventure right? The funny thing is: You know how many of them came for the installation fo a small window unit? 4 Egyptian! and the AIR CON IS NOT WORKING! Blooody kuku. Here's the roles and responsibilities:
>One of them is a supervisor....stand there and monitor the progress...and smoke
>The second one help to pass the plier around...then standby...maybe pass screw driver next round
>The third one just help to carry the new air con unit up and old unit down. Actually I think we work the hardest.....he carry the whole damn thin by himself..on top of his head...
>The fourth one? Yeah, you are right...he do the take out, put it, take out again, cannot put in...open wall...wall too big things!


**Dar, I love your previous few posting, neat!....I will post more when I have laptop and I will upload photo!

**Uh, I forgot to tell you, they help to install clothes hanger also: Upside down! ***Faint***

Meeting with buddies!!!!

As usual, we will meet at Breeks in Takashimaya, today we are meeting for Hank's birthday. We had Kelvin, Elaine, Aerwin and Hank!!! Well Elaine never fail to be the daring and fashionable in her very special sense of taste. But that what I like about her, daring and bold, dare to express and be herself.

Elaine New Look for the new year!!!

Chinese New Year 2008!!! - Rat Year


Gong Xi Fa Cai

Like in the past we will have a lot of decoration in the house to bring out the Chinese New Year mood. We will buy Pussy Willow aka Yin Liow every year to decorate the house.

I like them very much as they are fury and very pretty, in sliver white color and as they start to bloom it will be come, light green with white at the tip very pretty.

This is very special also we had bought Peach Blossom aka Tao Hua, why we bought this is because of my sister and brother. My mother hope that they can meet their Mr right and Miss Right soon. Both these plants are not easy to take care, as they grow only in cold countries, so we to feed them with ice, ice water etc.

The Peach Blossom
The Flower very pretty right!!!!

Another just bloom flower!!
Hereby, I wish to take this chance to wish my hubby gong xi fa cai, and be healthy and be happy. Everything he do will be blessed and smooth sailing. To the rest, be happy, healthy and wealthy!!!

My Valentine Present 2008


My Valentine day Present!!!

I know My hubby love me very much, every year valentine he had never fail to surprise me. This year we had to fight during that day. Due to stress over many little things, I know I can't handle too many at a time, so I tends to be easily angry and this had affected on my hubby.

But Good thing we had sort everything out, and learned from this event. Well my Bb did bought me something, but the stupid Bloomdale never send the gift and didn't even give my Bb a call to inform him. Made him so upset, as all his plan is ruined by them.

So today I called the Shop and scolded them, and the most absurd thing is the product Bb want to give is out of stock. Funny right if it is out of stock, the company should take the item down or inform the customer about it. Well they never, until I called them, then the retrieve my Bb's email and details, then they inform me that they dun have the stock. What a stupid company, the worst is when I want to log a complaint, they only have one person to take the complaint, and she only comes in the afternoon 3pm, and she is a sales manager, I can't even have a hp no to contact her and complaint. What a lousy service and in fact she never call me back personally to apologize, she asked those small fry to call. This is the first time and last time I will use them.

Nevertheless, I love my present that my hubby sent to me.


The card!!
The Msg from my Hubby!!!! So sweet.....

I'm very lucky to have My Bb to love me so much!!!!!

I will Love u always, Vincent
