Happy 2010!

Happy New Year Everyone!!

I hope to be able to cope and enjoy my new job!
To be a mum soon!
Happiness and Good Health to all my loved ones!

Will be spending the New Yr's day with family at Uncle MC's place..Its a pot luck event, hope the shepherd's pies I ordered will be delivered to his house man..hah..

Will post some NYE pics up later.

Another chapter closed..

7th December 2009 marks my last leg with the airline and it was 'so kind' of office to schedule a NRT- KUL/KUL-SIN pattern for me!

Nonetheless, my last flt to JFK was one of the most memorable..the crew who gave me impromptu hand made cards, the allocation ( the mid gly which i was really afraid of doing) and my batch girls, not forgetting the food and shopping we did!

2 yrs ago, this time..I remember me and my class girls undergoing rigorous training, all hopeful of the new adventures and travelling will bring to us, uncertain of what this new job holds for us..and 2 yrs later now, its time for me to close this eventful and enriching yet not always pleasant chapter.

Come 2010, another chapter awaits..I dont know if the choice to go back to my old line is the right one..from what i see now, i am in for a tough time with my new colleagues, new job scopes and to refresh all the facts and skills I have long archived in place of the waitressing skills for the past 2 yrs

So much for being trying to be positive, Jeff says I should think twice before agreeing cos no one forced me into this job, well he is true..no one forced me into it lah..but I am worried about finances and what if we have a baby etc...

Oh well, no use fretting over things that havent happened yet..Just gotta try, wait and see!

need some luck

Jo's usual routine these days are to wake up, turn on the pc, surf all the possible sites for jobs, send out resumes and pray for the best..

Besides a phone call from the prospective employer's HR to confirm the details for my qualifications, there had been zero response from the others I have written in to!!

Gosh, how to leave my current job lydat?!

This sux man..

Finally decided to perm my hair..Needed a change in my hairstyle but there was nothing left to do cos I couldn't colour my hair due to work and wasn't quite ready to cut it much shorter..so there, I was only left to perm it!

Am glad it turned out better this time as compared to the first I went for a few yrs back!
Lets see how long it will take me to get used to and then tired of the curls!

Time to work hard

A month of merry making and lazing around just whizzed past like that!! Went to tokyo and bkk, think it was our honeymoon? But didnt felt that sweet afterall haha...maybe cos its places i have been to? Or maybe there was just too much walking and rushing around different locations plus the summer heatwave?

Nevertheless, I still enjoyed myself! Especially at Disneysea and Bkk's massage plus Chinatown's yummilcious seafood!

Its back to work tmr for me and there is still a jap test to overcome!

Am at the crossroads once again cos its job hunting time again...:(

Our big day - 1st August 2009

It has been more than a week after our big day and I am still reminiscing abt the whole day's events.=)

All the months of preparation, squabbles, disagreements paid off when I see all those happy pictures and the way the day's events fell rightly into place.

1 day before wedding
Started off with me going for my mani and pedi in the afternoon. 'Our' v chio yellow bridal car was also delivered to us in the evening followed by us driving it to My Bridal Room for them to tie the decor which resulted in a simple but sweet design which we liked very much.
And Shirlene came over to stay for the night..I was then feeling nervous and excited to think abt how the big day will turn out to be :)

Had difficulty falling alseep but eventually did at ard 11 plus but woke up again at 3.30am and cldnt get back to sleep le. So had my breakfast at 4.30 and was just feeling restless haha.

The Special day

Me in my hot pink pyjamas specially sourced by Elizabeth in Phuket

All the important people, Dily my MUA, Ernest my VG and Yew Kwang my PG turned up pretty punctual and that was really a load of my mind!





Subsequently, my Jie Meis came and enjoyed themselves immensely preparing for the games!


And the relatives..

My very happy mummy!

After a few smses and calls, Jeff and his brothers finally reached and made their arrival known by blaring their car horns and some very annoying tenant from the block beside the roundabout actually threw eggs down! And some of it got onto the car..how bad can these people be?



Thanks to cousin Vinn Yang for coming back from Perth to attend our wedding as well as open the door for Jeff!

Jeff and his band of brothers

I got really nervous when I heard the commotion from my room!







My aunties came up with this last impromptu obstacle and got Jeff to call them in their correct titles in Cantonese before letting him through! Hhehe.so happening !

My baby finally make it! LOL




Praying to our beloved gong gong and popo

Mum says its Cantonese tradition to have a red brolly shield me when i step out of the house and have rice and salt concurrently scattered over the brolly

Waiting for Jeff to drive the car over



Miss the princess treatment so much! hahaha



One of our favourite spot to pak tor in our earlier years of courtship

My lovely girlies..and how I miss Michelle...

Went to Jeff's Ah Mah's place after our outdoor photos to pay respects to his late Ah Gong
Then we went to Jeff's house for the tea ceremony

His grandmas..my new ones now :)


Our parents

Getting ready to change into my kua

Calling my family to let them know we are on our way back my place


Another Cantonese tradition

We had to eat 2 eggs in sweet soup for its auspicious symbolic significance

The happy girls! haha

My younger cousin and her husband had to serve tea to us

Cheers and thanks heaps for the morning session that went so well!

The wedding dinner

I love this Oriental decor






I was freaking out cos I realised how easily I could trip on my dress and was trying to rehearse with what the few mins we had before our 1st march in

My nanny

I love my gowns so much!

I posted this pic cos i love this hair do so so so much haha

Oscar Wong our banquet manager (which did a very good job) giving us some reminders before the 2nd march in







My very eloquent emcees for the night, thank you so so much my dears =)

Would like to really thank everyone that had helped and attended our wedding..all of you had made this special day a very memorable one for Jeff and I!

3 days to go

Went for our final fitting and collected our gowns and suits today! Its so surreal to see them hanged on my closet now..

Will really miss the opportunity and feeling of trying the many many pretty and colourful gowns!

Its An chuang day today! Many thanks to Uncle Jimm and Auntie Jasmine for their help - an chuang is supposed to be done by a married couple with children so we have asked for their help plus they are probably the closest aunt and uncle to us.
