Trial Make Up

Ben and I went to Dang's place for my trial make up by a very nice, sweet and chatty make up artist named Jerlyn. Ben said this look is better compare to the make up done by ...(forgot her name) in Sydney. Well, I think so too as I don't look so mature today.

Thankie!!

"One Moment More" - Mindy Smith

Hold me
Even though I know you're leaving
And show me

All the reasons you would stay
It's just enough to feel your breath on mine
To warm my soul and ease my mind
You've got to hold me and show me now

Give me
Just one part of you to cling to
And keep me
Everywhere you are
It's just enough to steal my heart and run
And fade out with the falling sun

Oh, please don't go
Let me have you just one moment more
Oh, all I need
All I want is just one moment more
You've got to hold me and keep me

Tell me that someday you'll be returning
And maybe
Maybe I'll believe
It's just enough to see a shooting star
To know you're never really far
It's just enough to see a shooting star
To know you're never really gone

Oh, please don't go
Let me have you just one moment more
Oh, all I need
All I want is just one moment more
Oh, please don't go
Let me have you just one moment more
Oh, all I need
All I want is just one moment more
You've got to hold me and maybe I'll believe

So hold me
Even though I know you're leaving

The Notebook

One of my favourite show

Dolly Eyelashes

A vain pot went to a beauty store and got herself eyelashes extented to this LONG. Total Damage :SGD56
Suppose to last her at least 2-3 weeks but she was with it only for 2 days!!!

The Vain Pot : ME

Lesson I've learnt : NEVER GO FOR EYELASH EXTENSION

The Love Theme

I love the wedding favors and I love the setting and table arrangement for the "Love Theme". I find it very romantic. Hope the boys won't stand around the candles with their mashmallow.

Ben is back

Finally, this day has come. I went home early at around 3pm and rested till 730pm, I took 858 and and I reached the airport exactly at 830pm. The moment I saw him, I was so happy and glad he is home safely.

Ben kept telling me how nice the place is and how busy he was with the training. You will never believe that I am now feeling good that I didn't follow along as these few days apart has made us cherish each other more than before.

My heart feels so warm whenever he says," It is very nice and I wanna bring you here/there..."

The Wishing Notes

Nice? Nice? Nice!

YES! It's not any apartment from overseas but in Singapore and it is an unit of HDB, estimated age of flat? >15 years!

Phuket 150407-190407

Ben left to Phuket after lunch with us today. He cuddled with Twistie and kissed me too. So sad, I thought I could go with him but too bad, my colleague is posted to Bali on the same days I requested for my leave.

This is the first time Ben travelled on the plane without me. I have only Twistie & Smoochie to cuddle with these few days. *sob sob*

Poor my baby with the nice queen sized bed alone in a tastefully renovated 5 Stars spa hotel. I promise you will see me at airport on this coming Thursday?

Our 1st Year Anniversary

140407, what's so special about this date? Ben and I tied knot on this day last year, time flies man! We chosed this date last year as it was a GOOD FRIDAY and what made us choose this day? It is because we started off as a couple on Good Friday in year 2002. Then why didn't we hold our custom wedding dinner on Good Friday in year 2007? Because someone told us not to do so. Well, there are many reasons actually, if we were to choose this day, our wedding dinner should be on the 7 April. Thank god we didn't, as we are still struggling with the wedding preparation!

Well, as usual, I have my rose and dinner and I HAVE MY HAIRCUT & Highlights at Gorgeous by Carol,Far East Shopping Centre. SGD39 + SGD129 : Total Damage SGD168
Satisfactory : 5 STARS !

And now, Ben said I am a pretty girl *wink wink* but still a naughty one as we had a little arguement while dining at NEW YORK NEW YORK. I left earlier, he foot the bill and we just walked different way.

WHAT A COINCIDENCE! We MET again on the bridge which joins the Esplanade & The One Fullerton. We sat down and chatted for an hour. Well, as usual, not giving in *blah blah blah*. I went home alone. In less than half an hour, I think we missed each other and then we are okay again.

Honey, I will give u a surprise this June! And I LOVE U a lot alot!!!

My Wishlist?

Oh dear, CARLY LEATHER looks so nice and I don't seem to have any bags that have similar design. Do you know that there is 20% off the price if I get it right now? Honey, I heard that you have pay raise and bonus oh * blink * blink *

Updated on 150407: SGD940 at DFS Sg Changi Airport

R.S.V.P

This is the most leceh thing and we just don't understand, how come when the deadline given for RSVP but still no respond from some friends, esp. ex colleagues. (girls, I am not referring to you hor, I understand how our rosters been scheduled at ward).

Now I am fully understood why Christina said RSVP is like begging people to be there to celebrate our day, aren't they suppose to feel honoured as they are invited? I remember I told these buddies of mine many months back to save the date and they were SO HAPPY and obviously, they replied promptly and confirmed their attendance. My buddies, you know who you are, really happy that you girls could be there. Another buddy who confirmed her attendance LAST YEAR, thanks for coming all the way from KL!

Some said," come on, why keep asking if my hubby is coming? We can't confirm now, if he is available during that period, he will be there but if he has tight schedule, it will only be one seat "wasted". "

To the one who said this, I hope you do read my blog.

"If only one seat you think I mind hah? Do you know how many people give me this type of answer? If these 10 people MIA on that night for whatever reasons, then we are paying $1028 for "takeaway" dishes?" Mark Chan from Oriental was telling us that once we confirmed the no. of tables, they will prepare the exact amount of food and we will have to TAKEAWAY if there is extra, which means, my mum won't have to cook for at least 3 days!

From This Moment - Shania Twain

Well, Ben and I more or less decided to have this song played for our march-in. We've purchased the sheet from the Brother O'neill site and here is a clip to share. It wasn't played by Jeremy but an Chinese Indo.

Million of kisses to Nat as she was the one that helped me to borrow a electronic keyboard.
