Life is too dynamic

I seriously been working like mad recently that my body is breaking down. I have been down with running nose, slight fever and sore throat and yet totally recovered yet. Despite being sick, i still need to work because we just clinched a big project which made me one of the team leads to kick off the audit with two trial organisations and followed by the rest of the organisations. This project is going to drag for 9 mths and gonna be damn busy until end of this year. Well, it is going to be a fast and furious year 2008.

Hmm, I thought I wanna have a high paid and relax job but in the end, I turned up busier than life in HP because this job is too dynamic. My career path is from hell to heaven and then back to somewhere worst than hell. LOL...Life is contradicting, isn't it?? Well, I guess most importantly is even though i am busy, I must enjoy what I am doing and get to feel the spirit of the team fighting together to make the project a success. It is not about myself but about a team which makes it happens.

Er, this has to be a successful project because this is my one and only project for this year and my bonus is depending on it. Have to constantly stay focus and thats mine "power". Think of money and money will come..LOL

Lets talk about something nice here. Finally, finally, I will be flying off to perth aus this wed with Oggy in order to make my first entry as an official PR. It has been planned for so long which in fact I should be there in March but luckily i delayed the flight due to the condition of my grandma. No more delay as I need to meet the May deadline indicated by Aus embassy. Thanks god, i finally get to breathe in fresh air.

Ok then, i need to sleep to be at Suntec for audit activity tomorrow. Ciao

My HDD player

Yeah!! Finally bought this gadget which I wanted to purchase for months. It is an external hard disk which plays AV programs like MP4, DVD, VCD, MP3, CD and JPEG pictures with functions to copy/remove/rename/delete files/folders.

CVBS and VGA video output can be connected to TV or computer display.

In layman term, it is like an normal external hard disk which stores all documents you would like. The only difference is that you are able to connect to TV directly and watch movie/pictures/music with the use of a remote control. I personally find it useful to me especially when movie downloaded from youtube could be watch in any TV with this portable hard disk everywhere I go.

Ciao...

Ai Bu Zai

Love is patient, love is kind (1 Corinthians 13:4a)

Want to make known to Granny that though she has parted and called home on 4th of March 2008, the love for her in my heart will always stay strong.

Though I could not bear to part with you, but I know you are in a better hand of god. May you rest in peace and I love you from every single bit of my heart. It has been a long journey for you and thank you for giving me 30 yrs of wonderful moments. I'll always miss you and I hope to have you as my granny again in my next life.

Your new journey in heaven begins.....

Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound,

That saved a wretch like me....

I once was lost but now am found,

Was blind, but now, I see.

T'was Grace that taught...

my heart to fear.

And Grace, my fears relieved.

How precious did that Grace appear...

the hour I first believed.

Through many dangers, toils and snares...

we have already come.

T'was Grace that brought us safe thus far...

and Grace will lead us home.

The Lord has promised good to me...

His word my hope secures.

He will my shield and portion be...

as long as life endures.

When we've been here ten thousand years...

bright shining as the sun.

We've no less days to sing God's praise...

then when we've first begun.

"Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound,

That saved a wretch like me....

I once was lost but now am found,

Was blind, but now, I see.

One Raffles Quay

I know I have not been updating my blog lately. Too moody to do so I guess.

er, I have not been adapting well into my new job. First of all, Raffles place is a place too crowded for me to bear. Morning and lunch crowd is totally intolerable that I have to tabao or walk all the way to chinatown alone sometimes. There are times which I joined my colleagues but it is not easy to find seats for a big gang and i feel frustrated of the waiting times. See how miserable it is.

Secondly, I have not been assigned to any project yet. Have been helping out managers on tender proposal and proposal presentation. Other than that, I have been reading and exploring tool for the team. So, either I am too bored sometimes or too stressful sometimes. I could imagine the stress I need to absorb when project is assigned.

Thirdly, I have not been blending well with the team except for some, but I may not get to see them everyday as they either work from home or they out to clients' sites. This means interactive time is lesser.

Lastly, I think the office is abit too noisy to do serious work too. Colleagues have been talking, walking in and out, making so much noise that I could hardly concentrate on my serious work sometimes. Indeed an open culture.

Too much negative stuffs. Probably one month is too short to gauge by now as i need time to adapt. Lets give myself up to 3 mths to see how it goes. All I know is I am not feeling good@ this place.

TagLine: Story of My life.

City View

EVERYTHING INCREASE!!! Cab fare, petrol price, ERP, sand price, cost of living, HDB price, food price, mrt fare, etc..How on earth are we going to survive in this era??


Have recently thought of getting the City view hdb which is near my dad's place because I am in favor of its location. Apart from its DBSS scheme, I would be entitled to the 40K grant as well. The down side of it is the cost.


Wow, the property price just continue to head north and a 5 room flat cost about 700K++. Unbelievable expensive and with the income cap at 8K, I really do not have any idea how those people going to pay off. E.g. If it is the $700K 5 room flat, they have to pay $200K cash upfront and be eligible for the loan of $500k. This means these people must $8K per month for the next 30 years plus cash to pay the difference. What happened if they are jobless for 1-2 mths huh?? Besides, I doubt they will not be able to sell the flat higher than what they have paid for right??


Anyway, we have dropped the idea because we are not eligible to buy HDB even due to our total income. Either we go for resales hdb or condo, in this case, I guess we have to wait for the market to crash BIG time in order to afford it. Well, I am waiting to see how many people suffer from the crisis.

Did you know...

Did you know that you could obtain a Customer Enquiry report of yours which include the following information:-

- Basic individual profile, such as name, identity card number, date of birth, address occupation, marital status etc;
- Records of all credit checks made on the consumer;
- Monthly records on how prompt were repayments made in comparison to the due dates;
- Records of bad debts, if any; (This information is kept for six years.)
- Bankruptcy record, if any. (This information is kept for six years from date of discharge.)

The credit bureau is a repository of factual information on the credit application and repayment records of consumers only. It provides this information to its members (credit providers), under authorised conditions, to help them to determine whether or not the person applying for credit is likely to repay. In doing this, a credit bureau helps lenders to make better lending decisions quickly and objectively. It also guards against fraud.

Note that all these information are accessible by the following members:-
- ABN AMRO
- American Express
- Bank of China
- CitiBank
- DBS Bank
- Diners Club
- Hong Leong Finance
- HSBC
- MayBank
- OCBC
- RHB Bank
- Sing Investments & Finance Limited
- Standard Chartered
- United Overseas Bank Group

So, the best preventive measure is to exercise good money management and make repayment on time in order to prevent having negative information of yours being sent to the bureau.

Some statistics for sharing:-

Comsumers at the age group (21-29) that use the following products have an average balance of :

Credit Card: $2,324
Personal Loan: $6,686
Motor Vehicles Loan: $43,700
Housing Loan: $137,942

And, 4.13% of Consumers in the above age group had an overdue account in the latest month review.

The new start of the Year

It has been awhile since I updated my blog. First of all, A happy new year to everyone. Hope everyone has already made your resolutions for the year. Cheers!!!

Well, as for me, I have started my new year with a new hair style, a new job and of course I have made my own resolutions too.

It has been my second day at work and everything went well so far. It has surprised me that my team which consists of 20 plus colleagues are all so young around late 20 to early 30. Wow, all the young people around and having said that, it is really a fun team to work with, awesome. I have joined this company as senior consultant III and tonnes of work to learn from as I did not have any much security audit experience before. It will be a time which I have to pick up skills and certification quickly in order to catch up. Pretty excited about it because I enjoying learning.

Was told on my first day work about this initiative which I have to go on Friday night. Guess what?? An invitation to The Boiler Room at St James, a welcome party organised by the team for me to break the ice and get myself drunk. Lol..Was informed that it is the culture here for team to organise event for new comer...Sound interesting???

Night at The Boiler Room was good. It was very sporting for the entire team to turn up and enjoy themselves. They have ordered "BIG" bottles of Hennessy XO ($800++ per bottle), vodka, etc. The chap who paid for it is definitely generous as I think the total bill definitely costs a few thousands dollars. As I am the ones to be initiated, colleagues had been asking me to drink round the table. See, I am allergic to alcohol and what I did is to add many ice cubes into my drink to make it diluted. Besides, my girl colleague also helped me by adding plain water into the drink secretly and not to say, my buddy did help to drink some on behalf of me. Lucky me!!!

All in all, the night was fun. I get to be closer to them and able to map the names to their faces. Next is to get busy with projects coming the way...

Modern Living

I like this apartment so much. http://www.abeckettapartments.com/

Just 3 mins walk to major attractions including mel cental, queen victoria market, RIMT university and Flagstaff Gardens. An investment of a lifetime..hee hee..

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 ........
