Flowers~

Just read on someone's blog where she post photos of the flowers her hubby gave to her. Flowers on almost every special occasion..he even gave her a bouquet just to thank her for being his wife. The last time i got flower from tete...hmm...i can't remember the exact date. think it was on last last christmas..i've always loved to receive flowers but since getting married, i've told him not to waste precious money on such useless stuff...but being a gal that loves romance...i can't help feeling jealous or even disappointed whenever i read about the romance stuff other guys did for their gal..sighxz....

Chinese New Year Celebrations

CNY suxs this year as 初一 falls on a Monday. That means..official public holiday is only until Tues. Our office gave us a force leave on Wed..so that means only 3 short days to rest and play. Unlike previous years, we did not gamble at all this year. Dun wan to waste any money ma..times are quite bad ..especially after my paycut which was announced shortly after CNY. Suxs..i hate this co. Wished they havnt bought over us.

Anyway back to happier things...cny celebrations!





Visited Chinatown on CNY Eve. Super packed as usual but less stalls and people buying. Another sign from the recession.

We also visited the wet market in Chinatown...they just reopen after renovation. I miss the food there especially this stall. They sell chinese porriage and chinese style sashimi.



Cleaner and brighter.


On our way down to the wet market section.


We bought some seafood there and spotted this super big fish! Would take months before we can finish it. Wonder how much it costs..


Deserted street in the morning. This street will be super packed hours later.





Our CNY decorations this year!





Got this from Chinatown..always liked lanterns like this.


Our pot of gold and goodies this year.


The only benefit of my office shifting to bugis area is..I am very near the dryfood wholesale market. So I can get cheap and fresh pork floss rolls...ate at least 1kg this year. Already decided next year this shall be the only snack i buy.




We recycled last year decorations ...dun wan to waste $.


Our house all done up and ready for the festive!

Reunion Dinner!

It has become our family tradition to eat this every year. We bought the chinese style sashimi to add more fish to our yu-sheng this year. Haha...no more digging for fish..we have abundance.


Tablefull of good food..we had crabs, fish, soup, prawns, tofu and pen cai made by me.


My pen cai!

Love you through happiness or sickness

I have always lead a simple life. Simple in thinking, simple in living, not pondering too much what I want in life nor plan for my future.. However, things start to get a little complicated after marriage.. Although I can't remember what privileges I had signed away during our solemnization ceremony then, vividly.. vows such as "love you through happiness or sickness" do come floating on my mind. Hence, I always tell myself that I must give my dear the best things in life and to bring her xin fu. Sounds great eh.. however, things are slightly different in reality.. I am always falling behind my dear's expectations. No matter how hard I tried, how fast i moved.. I am just not "good enough". And worst, my face seems to fit nicely in whatever fault my dear can find in her life. However, I am telling you(dear) now that I am not giving up. No matter how far I fall behind, how difficult things can be.. I will continue to fight on.

Professionally taken photos of our house

It made our house look nicer somehow..

Vent

This post is for my venting. Just got hinted by manager that i need to give more leads. In the first place, not as if the other team gives a lot of leads. And what did she do to deserve being a manager?? And me..all my years of slogging like a fool...i've gained nothing! Not even a subordinate under me...and that stupid black gorilla...he wants to claim credit for everything, wants to kpo in everything and yet still try to act friendly. SHIT!!!

Why is every tom, dick n harry going into marketing?? Havnt u guys anything better to do?? Why come into this field and snatch my jobs?? Maybe i should venture into something no one else has done..i dream of the day when i can break free of all these..no more 9-6pm job...and earn lotsa money...sianzzz...hate this life.

Treetop Walk

Although this place is really near where we stay and I pass by it almost everyday on my way to work, we never really had the time to visit it. So I suggested visiting it today.

We parked our car at Macritchie reservoir and walked a super long way to reach the treetop walk. Surprisingly, there's such a big patch of forest surrounded by civilization. Almost as big as the forest in ubin.


I was even more surprised to find out this jungle track can lead you all the way to Bukit Timah Hill. Perhaps I'll try cycling there next time..walking is just too tedious.


After walking for close to 2 hours, we finally reached!!


Amazing view from the bridge.


It started to drizzle while we're on the bridge. Poor dear and Twinkle had to make a dash to shelter. Haha...dear was afraid of height so its extra scary for him.
