Six year old girl Connie

Feeling overwhelmed

Recently, I have been suppressing and don't expressing feelings. Is that called stress? The thoughts of leaving my current colleagues and joining a new company next year is disturbing me.

Not sure how well I could adapt to my new company which I will be joining next year. Hope everything will go well.

Slipped Discs

He has been crying in pain eversince I came back from honeymoon. Took him to the vet and could not examine what wrong with him except for fever. So back home with painkiller and he got well after two days. Well, with that it costs me $80.


(2) Two days ago, the same symptoms came back. The symptoms are (a) High pitch barking, (b) crying in pain, (c) limping sometimes and (d) could not jump up and down my bed. So worried that I actually had to bring him back to Animal Recovery Center today. This time round was another vet who examined him. His name is Dr Lai and he actually laughed heartedly when he saw cookie. "What happened to his hair?", he asked. "Well, he actually dropped too much hair that we decided to shave him off but to keep the shape of his head hair to make him looks like a lion", i replied. Anyway, Dr Lai used his N95 nokia and took photos of cookie as he looks cute. This is how he looks like. lol.





(3) After which, Dr Lai took four xray on his neck and he actually suffering from slipped discs on his cervical region.




(4) Cervical disc disease involves the acute or chronic pressure of material from an intervertebral disc pressing on or around the spinal cord in the area of the neck. The exact cause of disc degeneration is unknown but in many cases there is a change in the content of the disc from a soft, pliable gel to stiff mineral that can slowly compress the spinal cord or suddenly burst into the spinal canal. Discs in the cervical region of the spine can affect the front legs and the back legs to varying degrees. This disc disease can affect one side of the body or both sides.Dogs may show only mild neck pain all the way through to complete paralysis of all four legs without the ability to perceive any sensation whatsoever. Sudden onset neck pain is the most common clinical sign.


(5) Dr lau had given him steroids to relieve his pain and would like to see him again before he flew off on the 29th of Nov. He mentioned that it is not serious now but can be very serious if the pain still persists. Cookie has to go thru MRI and surgery. MRI usually require anaesthesia and the surgery is considered a risk ones which 10% of dogs died from it.

(6) Before we left, Dr Lai told his staff that cookie looks so cute and he has a pair of "ren xing" eyes.

(7) Two and half hours at the center and now we are home sweet home. Little boy has to be on medication and glad that he quite love the medicine. By the way, it costs me $250 for the whole procedure. I am broke with my brother wedding this month..

Well, hope he gets well soon..I am so worried about him!!!

I want it!!!

Been thinking to take up bike licence and lets see when I am free on the weekday to drop by Ubi comfort driving center to sign up. Oggy promised me to get a scooter for me if I have my licence. Let's do what you like, why care!!!

Actual Day Wedding - Part Three (Ending)

Actual Day Wedding - Part Two (Solemnisation & Wedding Events)

Actual Day Wedding - Part One (Preparation, Tea Ceremony & Reception)

Perfect Wedding @ Changi Village Hotel

It turned out to be a fabulous and perfect wedding!!! Hereby, I would like to record every single bit of effort which Oggy and myself had put together for this big day 26th of Oct.

(1) Our Wedding Album @ http://affectionoflife.blogspot.com/2007/08/for-sharing.html.

(2) Wedding Venue - Changi Village Hotel

Reasons we chose this hotel because we like the ambience, off the city and allow 7 tables of 8 course chinese wedding dinner to be hosted. By the way, we stayed a night at 6th floor with the room facing the sea.

(3) Solemniser - Teo Chong Tee (JP)

I have randomly picked the solemniser from the registered list and lucky did I choose a former MP.

(4) Registration of marriage @ ROM website

(5) Wedding Favours

We have sourced for the Heart-shaped keychain which comes in 5 colour. Printed with the word "love" in the middle. I have also bought the gold organza bags to better present them to the guests. For VIP tables. I have sourced for a chinese couple magnet keychain in pink organza bag.

(6) DIY our own wedding invitation card

It took me months of effort to complete our wedding invitation card of 50 in quantity. Time was needed to source for a right background, font type, text written, hard envelope colour, texture, ribbon, pin, card cutting, printing, etc. It was never easy to find something which suit my style. I have done up so many samples but failed. The process of seeking for the right style has eventually enlighten me to go with metallic colour theme. Here are my wedding cards.

(7) Actual Day Wedding Dress

I bought this dress because it looks simple and yet elegant. The colour suits my theme as well.

(8) Makeup Artist

I have used the same makeup artist who did for my wedding album. http://www.simplyjoann.com/

(9) Actual day photographer

Oggy has spent time running around several stores and in the end, we decided to go with Shutterbug @ http://shutterbug.com.sg/.

(10) DIY own video montage

This video montage which lasted for about 4 min plus actually took us months to finalise it. This video montage was purely diy by me. Really painful process to source for the backgrounds which I like, the transition styles to ensure the entire montage has a smooth transition and everything has to fixed in nicely with the timing of the song as well.

(11) Songs for the night

Oggy has sourced for the following songs:-

a. March in - Firehouse (Love Of A Lifetime) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p61Q_DOwtps

b. Video Montage - Shania Twain( From This Moment) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y8qj2MzIlJw

c. Food serve - The Verve (Bitter Sweet Symphony) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V-Po8uJeoUw

(12) Flowers and wedding room decoration
I have aliased and worked with the florist on the following:-

- Ivory Slash for Solemnisation Chairs

- Dark Gold for VIP Table Chairs

- Dark Gold Ribborn on the side of Reception Table

- VIP Centerpiece add Green Cybidium with Red Roses

- 30 pcs of Dark Gold Slash for Notaml Table (Alt)

- Cocktail Centerpiece with 3 Ivory Roses and Hyper

- Door Posy (Ivy Leaves wreath with 2 Green Cybidium & 3 Red Roses)

- Roses Corsages x 3

(13) DIY wedding GuestBook
My cousin Aileen has helped me diy on the Guest Book. It is in a form of two joined big hearts stuffed with polyester with few pages of cupboard paper behind. I love it!!

(14) Wedding MCs

We have two cheeky MCs with us on the night and they had made our wedding a success. They were Rafeal and Aileen. Without the effort of this handsome chap and pretty babe, our wedding would not be so interesting, fun and entertaining. They had really really did a great job in coming out with the speech in both english and chinese and their effort to meet up, sit together to brain storm those entertaining games for us. Thumb up to our Two MCs. We appreciate your hardwork and enthusiasm in this event.

(15) Guest List

(16) And, finally, our wedding evening

- Welcoming everyone- Opening Speech- Matrimony

- In comes the Bride and Groom – Solemnizing event

- Montage- screen

- Story time- How the couple get together?

- Cake cutting

- Yumseng

- Games

- Photo taking with Guest

- Ending Speeches by Bridegroom, close friends of Bridegroom and Bride

We have enjoyed every single moment including the yum seng session. So much so much fun. The games especially had brought life to the entire atmosphere. Firstly, Oggy sang a song "Beautiful girl" with some funny dancing and hand gesture to me. I was laughing to the stage which my tears were dropping down .

Secondly, it was the blindfold game which Oggy had to take off his shirt, wrapped with aluminium foil by the bride's team mates. After which, Oggy's team mates were given 60 secs to hang grapes around his body. Guess what, with the direction instruction given by my team mates, I have to finish eating all the grapes while I was blindfolded. Well, you should be smart enough to know where those grapes were hang. Phew, luckily it was seedless..lol

Thirdly and lastly, it was the Lap dance. It was the funniest game of the night. The Bridegroom together with three males friends (My brother, Rafeal and Ah Tat), the full monte were asked to take off their shirt with the sexy music in the background. They have to shake their butts to their partners (me, Jessica, Aileen and Elynn) sitting on the chair watching the lap dance.

Well, all in all, everything was well planned and most importantly, we together with the guests had a memorable night. The event ended abt 11 pm sharp and for some, they have stayed back behind for more happening party. I was laughing my way till 3 plus in the morning together with my cousin and some of oggy's friends. My jaws almost dropped off.

Many have even smsed us after the night saying that it was the best wedding reception they had ever attended. We would like to thanks every single guest (99.9% of attendance) who has made the effort to attend, grace and enjoy our private wedding ceremony. Though it was only 7 tables, but we are very sure, we get more out from those who host big wedding dinner definitely.

Lastly, stay tune to the coming actual night photos ........

Justice of Peace

This is what he said, "Inform hotel to allow my car Red Volvo SxxxxxxB to be parked infront of the hotel". At the moment, I went blank and speechless. How should I tell my hotel about it? Lol...

Anyway, later when I told my cousin abt my JP, she told me that he seems to be former PAP Member of Parliament (MP). Have also confirmed from the website. Wow, of all JPs, I have selected one big shot..

Everybody's Changing

I felt she has wandered in her own land feeling aching and breaking. Is that the tunnel of lights or a tunnel of suffering for her? Perhaps she is the ones who could give the answer. All I know is I see pain in her eyes.

What is the path ahead of her?



You say you wander your own land
But when I think about it
I don't see how you can
You're aching, you're breaking
And I can see the pain in your eyes
Says everybody's changing
And I don't know why

So little time
Try to understand that I'm
Trying to make a move just to stay in the game
I try to stay awake and remember my name
But everybody's changing
And I don't feel the same

You're gone from here
And soon you will disappear
Fading into beautiful light
Cause everybody's changing
And I don't feel right

So little time
Try to understand that I'm
Trying to make a move just to stay in the game
I try to stay awake and remember my name
But everybody's changing
And I don't feel the same

So little time
Try to understand that I'm
Trying to make a move just to stay in the game
I try to stay awake and remember my name
But everybody's changing
And I don't feel the same

My Chemical Romance - I Don't Love You

Everything can change..

Received a good news and bad news today.

The bad news is my hotel coordinator has been changing since the day we signed up our wedding package. Firstly, it was the catering manager whom I aliased with, followed by a guy and then to their manager. But now, even their manager is leaving soon and will be passing on to another new person. Oh my god, how many times must I repeat my package to them? I wanna faint. I think the working hours of the hotel is really very bad. The first contact whom I contacted with previously mentioned that sometimes they will not have off day even in a row of weeks. Sound pitiful but who will pity me huh?? Sigh..

Luckily I got a piece of good news at the end of the day. I have received a call which I long waited for since last week. It really boosts up my energy level and somehow I am ready to finish my outstanding wedding items. Yippy yippy...Finally, finally I am going to release myself from something which I have been dragging on for so long. Well, at the moment, it is going to be private and confidential to share..You will know when it is time..

Do I look like GarField?

I am a sick cat and he is definitely an "evil" cat. Took this photo at Bangkok and does it remind you of GarField?? Oggy and me like the look of this cat.

Why havent recovered yet?

Sigh, my sore throat and running nose still havent recovered from last Thursday. Think I better dun attend my friend's wedding tomorrow evening. Babies/kids are going to be there and not good to spread the germs to them as their immune systems may not be strong yet. My colleagues also advise me the same because it is really bad. Really unfortunate but I will still bao big ang bao though.

Sorry Friends!!

We are what we do

I was feeling good on Wednesday and all the sudden, I fell sick on Thursday and today. Basically sleep the entire day today and just wake up. Have recovered a bit but my eye still painful. Bearly can see into the lights..

Earthquake tremors

I thought i was sick or someone (the ghost) was shaking my bed. The tremor was so strong. When i was in my kitchen, I could see my clothes swaying left and right also. How could the clothes sway when there was no wind?? Then did I realise it was the earthquake. Wow, that was strong.
