Spring cleaning weekend

Last weekend was spent cleaning and doing lots of laundry lol

and visiting grandpa and my mum and my mum cooked fish, again lol

she has been feeding me fish every weekend that i am back :D

Sun was spent with dear's family, we had high tea~ at Zhou's kitchen.. was so full that my stomach ballooned hahah

CNY hasnt start and i've spent more than 1 K on angpows and gifts for grandpa and my parents
This will be the first year that we will be giving ang pows too

kinda exciting, this CNY will be different~

Good news!

Though it might not be enough to "encourage drastically" more couples to have kids, its still very welcomed

Bigger Baby Bonus

1 week Government-paid paternity leave 

CNY shopping

Was done in a day LOL, for me that is.

Hubby and myself went shopping with mum and sis last weekend.
We were out from 12 onwards and back only after 9

Met them at Bugis+ had ramen champion, went shopping, dessert and then even a movie!

I was simply exhausted but glad to see mum enjoying herself.

We caught "The impossible" at Suntec too, such a tearjerker. Mum and sis were literally with swollen eyes after the show

Bought two dresses for CNY at Bugis, one for each day of visiting. Simple but sufficient, no new shoes though as I'm quite fussy with shoes. Shoes dont really last long for me.

Had new dessert! Blackball at Bugis+ which is "grassjelly" with ingredients such as yam ball, sweet potato balls, red beans etc

Weekends are always family affairs and i love my weekly gathering with my family.

Ever since i've moved out, the weekly visits are to be treasured.
:)

BlackBall~

It comes to a point

That climbing the corporate ladder doesnt seem that appealing to me anymore...
not at my current place that is.

gotten sick too often, too much work and too many changes.

Hang in there!

Waiting for our next stage in our lives~
now that I just hit 30, other matters seem to appeal to me more now

Wedding Photos

are finally back from Kent Wong Photography! After almost 3 months after the wedding

We gotten back all 700+ of it and both of us were satisfied with the outcome. Worth the wait! He captured moments and pictures that we did not notice.
We love the expressions he caught on film too~

We love the customerized deco by M Hotel too and the big reception area where guests can mingle
M hotel was able to accomodate my request to change the deco to pink and gold and we love the outcome

I had lots of compliments that day regarding my gowns and I am glad
Z Wedding was slightly expensive but i love my gowns
it took 2-3 sisters to hold my gown train that day
total of 4 gowns for the actual day and 3 different looks
mum loves the ROM look as she said i looked young LOL

more photos in facebook~ lol

New Year's eve

And both of us were so tired that we fell asleep while watching the Countdown on Channel 5.. it was that boring.
We woke up just in time to catch the fireworks on tv then promptly went back to bed after it ended. LOL

BUT we woke up early on NEW YEAR's DAY around  8+ in the morning and we went breakfast, and watched a movie and even gotten dinner back home~

First Breakfast of the year lol

First post

and the last one for the year 2012.

Looking back on my 2012 Resolutions

NEW Resolutions 2012

TO BE CONFIRMED for New JOB/Pay increment if possible
(I am confirmed, but its been a year of changes and adjustment, alot of stress and coping to do. Frequent movement in manpower created so much turbulence for my unit. However, on a happier note, thanks to the government, our sector had a pay adjustment across the board, and i also gotten my yearly increment ..its a small step but it still meant alot to me)

PLAN WEDDING~
(wedding was a blast! went without a hitch on the actual day though the preparations were really tiring, planning for 1.5 yrs for a day event. Time flew on the actual day) 

Lose weight ~ from 50kg-47kg? 
(i think i lost till 48 but its work stress, i can fit my cheongsam too!)

I still want a 25inch waist if possible 
(Not achievable though LOL)and go honeymoon if possible (Long distance preferable?)
(We went on a 12 day Europe tour!! that is our dream came true~!, enjoyed it immensely)

SAVE  MORE MONEY (15K next year?)
(not as much as i thought but at least wedding preps did not deplete too much of our savings, thanks to generosity of friends and relatives)

Be less sensitive more accommodating(think i need to be less sensitive to my surroundings, especially dear's)

Spend more time with family and friends 
(still too busy >< , lost contact with some friends along the way but made new ones at work)

To pick up my hobbies ( i bought a photo printer and more scrapbooking materials lol)
(and i became the unofficial welfare committee at work, the one in charge of all the birthday cards and deco for events, even did DND publicity ><, i enjoyed my DIY of all the wedding preps though~ and i am very proud of my works :D)

and so my New Year Resolutions for Yr 2013
is much simpler

• stable job
• restart my savings for our new home~ stopped for a few mths during wedding and honeymoon
• get healthier, been sick too often
• and have a blissful family
