Back again~
17 March 2008, Monday
Woke up 9 plus in the morning, waited for Laogong to get ready and then we went back to my place where I bathed and changed...
Cabbed down to Clementi for my dental appointment after I was done but was already very late by the time we reached...Laogong and I waited for another half an hour before it was my turn to go in...
Dr Wong debond my upper teeth braces and did scaling for my upper teeth...It felt weird after she removed them cuz I'm already used to feel the brackets with my tongue and it's like I could no longer do that...
Following that, she did my fixed retainer for the upper teeth and after that handed me a mirror sooo I could see for myself the aftermath of braces treatment done...I totally love it!! Still feels weird thou' but I'm loving it~ *Giggles...
Settled my last payment for the whole braces treatment and booked another appointment for my lower teeth braces to be removed the next month, then Laogong and I left for the hawker center to have our lunch...
We wanted to have the famous Clementi western food but it was closed sooo we ended up having chicken rice...Left for town after finishing the food...

My teeth sooo straight and nice now~
I love showing off my new smile now more than ever~ =D
Laogong and I headed down to FEP where I searched high and low for the idea chiffon layer mini skirt for matching my chiffon blouse top but no avail....No skirt bought but I managed to find some more lovely tops!! =)) Spotted 2 very sweet chiffon tops in a particular shop, tried on both and I was soooo mesmerized~ Was tempted to get both of em' but Laogong wouldn't approve of it, hence, I made a difficult decision and chose only 1...
Rose-patterned chiffon top~ Chiffon tops are a raging craze in Japan right now...
Went over to Wistma after that where Laogong and I had dinner at the foodcourt...Took the mrt back to his place after the dinner...
Rested for a short while back at Laogong's place then left together when it's 7pm, saw him went for work and I headed home...
16 March 2008, Sunday
Went out with Laogong's family in the morning, fetched his grandma then Laogong from his work place...Headed down to Chinatown, a particular chinese restaurant to celebrate his grandma's 80th birthday...
It was a big reunion for Laogong's family cuz all his relatives attended as well...Had our lunch at the restaurant and also listened to the elders sang on the karaoke system which was provided in the room we're in...
Mango pudding in the form of fishes~
After the lunch and desert, we all gathered around to take photos with grandma for her 80th birthday...There were over 30 plus of us in the room and each family took turns taking photos with all the digi cams they brought along...
Our turns, first~
Followed by group shot of the entire family~
Singing the birthday song~
Grandma getting ready for the cake-cutting~
Noticed the birthday cake?? There's a large peach on the cake which symbolises longevity for grandma~
More photos~

Us~
The relatives~
Grandma with her obedient and hardworking maid~
The whole event lasted for like 3hours and we all left after saying our goodbyes~ Laogong's dad drove and sent the youngest uncle with his family back to their place before heading back home...
Laogong and I immediately went into the room after reaching home, slept all the way till nightfall...I woke up around 8pm and started camwhoring~ Lols...
Woke Laogong up after all the cam-whoring madness and we went down to the hawker center for dinner with his family...
All of us had stingray for dinner and thereafter headed back home...
15 March 2008, Friday
Woke up in the early morning, got myself all dressed up then Laogong fetched me down to the mrt and left...I trained down to Paya Lebar, the "Asiasoft's" head office and reached at 11am then waited for "HR" manager...
Was briefed on the employment rules, rights, benefits and stuffs then I signed all the necessary documents and a copy was handed to me as well...With that, I'm officially considered a staff of "Asiasoft Online Pte Ltd" come next Tuesday...
Trained back home after all of that and rested till 2plus where I got changed into another set of clothes, re-touched up my makeup and went down to JP to meet Laogong...
Bought midnight tixes for "Step up 2" at GV then we headed down to Raffles City Shopping Centre...Once there, Laogong went to get himself fried mars bars from "Chippy" while I went to buy my favorite beef sticks and then back to join Laogong...Had wanted to buy some donuts from "Donut Factory" but we went over to the new donuts cafe called "J.Co Donuts"...
Laogong and I queued up and bought 2 half a dozen boxes of the donuts in assorted flavors then went on to look for food cuz we're hungry...Had wanted to try out the Japanese style "Marche" but it was full and the queues' like forever long and getting longer...Hence, we decided not to dine here but somewhere else instead...
Laogong and I then walked over to Bugis, where we dined at the foodcourt and thereafter window-shopped around then headed to Bugis street where I saw the chiffon tops I wanted...Laogong had me tried on the top and bought it for me cuz I really liked it...
With that, we took the MRT back to JP and reached just in time for our midnight movie : Step Up 2 The Streets...
Awesome movie!!!
And not forgetting this cute-looking hunk~Robert Hoffman~
Apparently, Laogong got jealous when I told him about it...*Giggles
Duet dancing~
Hot dances in the rain~
Robert Hoffman in action~
A MUST-WATCH movie for all dance lovers!!! Go catch it NOW if you've not done sooo and be amazed at the dances performed by various groups of expert dancers...Robert Hoffman is just soooo hoooott!! =p I love him!! Oops...hahas...Shouldn't be saying this else, Laogong's gonna get mad at me...*chuckles
Laogong and I went back to his place after the movie and I did it again~ Hehes...Took pictures of myself continuously with my trusty camera...Nah, don't worry guys...Ain't gonna post all of em' up to bore ya' all... =D
My Jelly Belly beans~
Yummy beef sticks~ Bought the beef jerky too but I don't like it...
Part of the J.Co donuts~
I'm falling in love with this now~Doesn't really looks nice in photos but it's really nice!!
Close up look~
Yet another photo of myself... =p
Photo took at the photo machine in Boon Lay bus interchange~Laogong stood outside of the small machine while I sat in and took the photos...
Submitted one for my company pass, lucky it's not too ugly...
Finally at the end of the day, I went to bed with Laogong...Fell asleep as soon as we hit our pillows...14 March 2008, Thursday
Went for the Asiasoft interview in the morning~ Spent more than half an hour filling up my interview form and waited for 30 minutes or sooo before 2 guys interviewed me...
I was sooo nervous during the entire interview!!!!! Could you imagine me shivering while inside the interviewing room with em'??? Lols...I told the 2 interviewers about it too and they laughed at me...*Bleahs...
Tried relaxing myself but was of no use sooo I shivered throughout...I wondered if the interviewers noticed it?? I heaved a huge relief after the interview ended and finally stopped shivering as I walked out of the company...*Giggles...
I know I've made a fool of myself~ *Duh...
Took the train back to Laogong's place but halfway through, decided to alight at Bugis...Got into "Kinokuniya" to apply for my membership and within 10 minutes, it was done...Immediately got 10% discount for the mags I bought, headed back to Laogong's place after that...
Mags and candies bought from Bugis basement 1...
My membership~
Reached Jp around 2plus in the afternoon, bought myself lunch and then went back to Laogong's place...Laogong was already sleeping sooo his mum let me in...We chatted while I had my lunch and I went for a nap after finishing my food...At 4pm I got up and went out again...This time round for my second interview with a Beauty clinic and I almost lost my way there cuz I'm a idiot with finding road and road names...Ended up calling the company to inform them that I needed directions, luckily the interviewer; Mr Yap wasn't mad at me and even told me which bus I had to take...
Nevertheless, I just got onto a cab immediately after the call cuz I was fed up with all the stupid walking...Reached in less than 5minutes and did the usual form filling, followed by the interview with 2 different person...Did a personality test too as requested in the interview form and was told by Mr Yap that the lady boss is a nosy parker who likes to know about the characters of her staffs and the people she's gonna hire...
Mr Yap tabulated my scores for the personality test after my form was done, the results were satisfying cuz he kept telling me that the lady boss would like me very much...Thereafter, another female staff came in and briefed me about the job scope and various other stuffs...
Finally, I was bought to the lady boss's room and we had a small chat and then she bought me around...Started telling some of the other staffs that I was what they were looking for to fill up this job position and I just kept smiling dumbly to the staffs...The lady boss was nice person too and they all agreed on paying me what I wanted for my salary...
This was definitely my day~ 2 companies wanting to hire me at once but also a dilemma cuz I had to weight and decide between the 2 companies...
At the end of all my interviews, guess which one I picked??
Look of the day for my interviews...
Ohhh ya...One last thing I forgot to mention...
Laogong and I watched "#Rule 1" last week on a friday (I guess..) and it's pretty scary!! Fiona acts quite well in this horror flick despite her usual stereotypical cutesy look, this movie made her looked eerie and seductive...
The ending's a tad too disappointing thou' and I pity Fiona's tragic end...Not that she died but something else, I'm not gonna tell sooo go watch it! =p

Late postings~Finally~ =)) Updates on Valentine's and CNY~ Enjoy reading!!
11 Feb 2008, Monday
Pre-celebrated our Valentine's day due to my work constraint and Laogong's approaching reservist...
Laogong had everything planned in advance this time round, making me sooo happy with all the arrangements cuz it's totally different from his usual hasty planning habits...
Our first stop was Marina Square, where Laogong bought me to "Yuki on Yaki" for lunch...We had a really enjoyable lunchtime there, which consisted of a very satisfying full meal plus the frying of ice-creams!!
Laogong does most of the cooking!
Yummylicious steamboat~
There weren't much people dining in "Yuki on Yaki" thus, after our steamboat we're given another table immediately for our ice creams without having to wait for the staffs to clear up the steamboat...After we've changed to a new table , I went to get us the liquid ice-creams which we could fry...I got only 3 flavors: Green tea, Strawberry and Yam...I was back at the table after getting all the liquid ice creams and that was when Laogong told me that he had to go to the toilet...
I was the least suspicions sooo I nodded in response to what Laogong said, then continued to start frying my ice cream~ 5 minutes later, Laogong came back with a fresh bouquet of champagne and pink roses before my eyes...
Needless to say, I was totally caught by surprise...Contentment, surprise, gleeful expressions was written all over my face!!! All sorts of expressions related to happy, was inside me at once!! Was a lil' shy too after receiving the flowers from Laogong, cuz all the other diners had their all eyes on me...
Gave Laogong a kiss immediately...Feeling extremely good, we continued with the ice creams...One of the staffs came forward to teach us the correct technique of frying ice creams after seeing us tried and failed...
It was really interesting, seeing the helpful staff frying the ice creams...He even made us ice cream "M&Ms" and a bear ice cream patch...
And then...It was Laogong's turn to fry ice cream for me!! =P
My ice cream bear...*Giggles...Very ugly lah, I know...Should have took a photo of the bear the staff made...
But, I forgot...
Laogong and I had fun taking turns to fry the ice creams and we managed to finish the 3 flavors up before leaving...Waited for Laogong to settle the bill then we window-shopped around Marina Square...We went into "Spectacle Huts" and looked at the different eye wear frames they have, was thinking of getting myself a pair of glasses done since I lost it years ago during secondary school days...
Fancied a few designs but Laogong said some looked weird on me, bought and made none in the end...The final design that I chose was from "Chanel's"...Chic and simple looking...Made inquiries about the frames and lens prices then left, cuz Laogong had dinner plans for us...
I told Laogong that I would be definitely be back, to get myself those pair of eye wear! =D
2nd stop, dinner at Esplanade~
Silly Laogong tried to hoax me into believing that, we had to take a cab to the restaurant where he had reserved for us both, when actually it's only a few minutes walk away from Marina Square at the Esplanade...
I still appreciate the effort that Laogong tried giving to me, sooo he could surprise me... =))
Laogong bought me to a restaurant called "Al Dente Trattoria" in Esplanade, and I was delighted by the scenic view from where we sat inside...
Al Dente Trattoria
Dining alfresco was wonderful!! It was also Laogong and my very first time dining in a restaurant like this...The ambience and food was good, not to mention the lovely views of overlooking the bay and city skyline...And, did I mentioned that we could see the "Singapore Flyer" clearly, from where we sat too??*Chuckles...
The place was totally prefect for couples, as we noticed, was mostly filled with (including us)...
Candid shot of Laogong~ =P
Night was approaching as I took this photo...
The flight of stairs where we climbed up to...
Posing happily for Laogong, with my bouquet of roses and pressie!!
Laogong with my pressie of love~
Our "Shirley temples", appetizers and my minestrone soup ~The smoked salmon was "LOVE"!!! =D
The settings of the restaurant~
Laogong and I shared the main course, a plate of "Carbonara" cuz I was too full from the "Yuki on Yaki" previously...Chocolatey chocolate fondue by "Al Dente Trattoria"
Laogong finished the ice creams while I had most of the strawberries~ =D Marshmallows was yummy too~A view of "Al Dente Trattoria"
Laogong and I went for a stroll after dinner and then we sat down by the river, enjoying the sea breeze~Neon blue lights surrounds the "Singapore Flyer" during the night~
Clearer view of the "Singapore Flyer"...
Snapped a shot of Laogong's back while he's not noticing...=)
Ain't this lovely??My favorite scene of the night~
Not forgetting to take photos of ourselves~
I had only "God" to thank for bringing you to me~The most wonderful thing that happened to my life, was you!
Laogong and I went back to Marina Square after a short while, and we caught the movie "CJ 7" at "GV" for our last item of the night...A funny, entertaining and touching movie, it was...I teared a lil' when there was this part of the movie that "Stephen Chow" passed away due to a fatal work accident...I must say that the lil' girl whom acted as his son, was a superb kid actor!!
"CJ 7" is a cute alien dog, and I would definitely want it as a pet if I could!! =D
Laogong and I went back to his place after the movie...It was indeed a wonderful day thou' it wasn't officially Valentine's day, what Laogong has done already made me felt like it is...
Picture of me at the end of the day...
A mix of pink and champagne roses~Depicts Laogong's ultimate declaration of love for me~ =P
Blossoming love~
I'm more than contented to receive these roses!
Kissessss for my roses~
Couldn't resist taking photos with my roses again and again...*Giggles
There goes to show, I truly love the flowers Laogong bought! =D
Big head with small head~ *Bleahz
L.O.V.E
Immense joy all within me~
My pressie!!!A spacious wallet with lotsa card compartments!
Laogong knew I was in need of a wallet for all of my cards~ =P
A lil' something for Laogong~
Marc Ecko's timepiece~ =D
I really feel sooo blissful having Laogong by my side all these while~ We're really meant to be together~ He'll be the only one I've ever need in my life~One "HIM" could make my world go ga ga~ One "HIM" would make my life a whole lot better~
I love you with all my heart~ Happy Valentine's to my dearest Laogong~
Couldn't remember when I took this photo...No make-up at all~ =P
Went to Jason's house with Laogong on day 4 of CNY to 拜年, (I suppose, couldn't exactly recalled when it is)....Had our dinner at Jason's place together with his family, his wife cooked a fish head curry and it was quite delicious...Laogong and I spent half an hour more at Jason's place after finishing dinner, chatted with Jason's two adorable sons too...The younger one seemed to like Laogong more, while the elder one kept talking to me...=D
Went back to Laogong's place to rest after that...
9 February 2008, Saturday
Met up with Ping and Pengseng at Orchard, and we had "Seoul Garden" in Takashimaya for our lunch...
Laogong chatted with Pengseng while Ping and I catch on each other...Updating each other of news and gossips~ We spend a really great time together whilst having lunch, unfortunately we forgotten to take photos together~
Went over to Cineleisure after a hour plus of lunch at "Seoul Garden", all four of us were supposed to be watching movie but seats were sold out fast for the movie we wanted to watch...
Ended up going nowhere, and then finally parted ways with Ping and Pengseng cuz Laogong had to go for work...
8 February 2008, Friday
First day of CNY~ Woke up early in the morning, dolled myself up then waited for Laogong to come fetch me over to his place...
Boarded Laogong's dad's car upon reaching the void deck, and we're off to Laogong's grandma's house to 拜年...
We're the first few to be at Laogong's grandma's house but before long, the others came as well...Spend around more than an hour slacking around after finishing all the 拜年 thingy...
We got hungry then decided to go down to Macdonald's to grab ourselves lunch...Laogong's mummy and sister tagged along too leaving his dad back at grandma's place playing poker cards with the relatives...
We went back after our lunch and then watched "Norbit" on Laogong's laptop...Laogong and I fall asleep after we're done with "Norbit" in one of the rooms and then finally when it was 5pm, Laogong's dad was ready to go off...
Next stop was to their grandfather's place near Tiong Bahru...Laogong's dad went for work after dropping us down there and when we've arrived, Steven and his girlfriend were there too...
After all the regular 拜年, Laogong began chatting with Steven about his laptop and stuffs while I used Steven's laptop to surf the net...Less than 30minutes later, Steven and his girlfriend went out together while we still stayed on and watched tv~
Laogong then decided that it was time for us to go off too and asked his mummy and sister to tag along sooo we could all go back to JP for dinner together...Laogong's sister informed their dad about it and then we went back via MRT...
We had "Pizza Hut" for dinner back at JP and my brother also joined in...There was a total of 5 of us and Laogong ordered 3 pan pizzas for us all...Needless to say, we're all sooo full after the meal...
Saw my brother left on his bike while the rest of us strolled back to Laogong's house after the sumptuous spread...Rested for a short while upon reaching Laogong's place then we went back to my house...
Bought my dad some pizzas and Laogong also gave my dad mandarin oranges and did the 拜年...
Snapped a photo of Laogong being blur~ =))
Myself~
Laogong waited for me while I changed and removed all traces of makeup then we went back to his place where I stayed overnight....Pardon for the serious lack of photos...I did brought my camera out but had clean forgotten about it in the end, thus, no photographs~ =P
