I think we slept a little too late for CNY day 1....
Livingstone simply refuse to wake up... haha

We started the day by first going to my in-law's hse to bai-nee,
it was the 1st year with a different status this year, quite an unique feeling... heh heh...
Oh yes! It was also the 1st year we officially give out ang pows!! nothing special to my parents, as i have been giving them ever since 6 yrs ago.... im referring to giving ang pows to those who are still not married.
and my fav ang pows goes to:

The MacDonald's was obtained when we were in HongKong recently. Very cute.
The other one is from UOB, very big, long, and looks quite class.


that's miss beckie and me.

It was to my parent's hse in the afternoon.
and my 5th unker's family dropped by.

So this is my handsome and fit cousin, Dennis. :)


We had to go back to my in-law's place as they were flying to greece that nite.
got to send them to the airport.

cute huh....
the master sharing feeding his little girl mouth-to-mouth!

so it was mahjong session agn while we wait for the time.....
and we decided to bring beckie along.

she cried. so poor thing.....

We had to rush home!!
budd and BF are coming to our hse to bai-nee!! and it was 11pm.
heh heh...
talk abt got heart or no heart huh..... haha...

and they were our 1st CNY guests!!

they were looking at our wedding fotos and i saw max scratching his head, haha.....i quite like the expression somehow.... :)

so it was like 1 or 2 am when they left, but who cares. haha...

It is my last day in this company today.
I have nothing much to give my dearest colleagues, except loads of memories.
The fact is I always rave so much about the food I had over the many weekends, but Im guilty that I am not able to share it with them...
today, bcos I drove, I decided to pick a few and bring them there....

I have not d/l the pictures....but I wan to quickly pen down my thoughts before I lost the insipiration tml.....

We went to TDS for ice-cream, tanglin halt for laksa, and hup choon for the best yam ring and curry fish head IMO. They had them all...and I presented them my hearty-homebake-banana-cupcakes....

Im satisfied that I have shared what is good to me, to them, who is good to me too... :")

Very touched....
I didnt expect them to shower me with gifts, they were really unexpected...

Im touched, very touched that yuling remembers that I told her I like her tupperware when she brought hers to my hse the other day, and she gave me one. she remembers what I told her!!

Im touched, very touched that when terence and jill saw the accessories in my bathroom, and decided to buy me a lovely heart-shape pendant with chain....very significant!

Im touched, very touched that the group bought me a very beautiful sheafer pen (engrave with my name) with a very very nice soft leather card holder....Im gonna use it in my new job! Don't ever lost it JOJO!

Im extremely touched that many of them attended my farewell dinner...
some came from very far...

Im very touched. can u tell?

All good things must come to an end.
it has to.
Im very happy and blessed to have met this group of colleagues 3 years ago.
We helped each other brave thru deadlines, hammering and drilling onsite, helping each other troubleshooting the h/w and s/w, sharing woes, sharing joys, sharing knowledge, and lending a ear...
I almost cried when I dropped Meow at her block, while we hugged goodbye. Bcos she was the last person I dropped tonite.
Ladies and Gentlemen, I tell u, I count my blessings.
Im blessed that I am still able to find true frens in my career path even though many say true frens can only be found in school.
I hope it is bcos of my sincere nature that has made us so close. :)

I'll be starting a new life in abt 52hrs time.
In a new environment, with new colleagues....
well, the cycle begins all over again.
Good luck to me.

And, I love u guys....thank u so much for all that u have done for me for the past 3 yrs. :)

We had reunion dinner early for livingstone's family.
it was kind of a blessing for me,
as my own family do not have the practise of pushing ours earlier, so no need to rearrange.
Thank God!!!

I baked my first banana cupcakes!




hee hee, not bad for moi 1st attempt! I like. :)

My MIL wanted to buy some flowers, so it's on the way to the flower market!
bcos it was the eve- eve of new year's eve (Thursday),
we had to grab a quick dinner.
It will be kovan's HK cafe.

the menu:




this is very nice.




we went to jln kayu's flower market after kovan's, and i must say it has better variety there.
very very nice fresh little flowers to start with...
a pity i couldn't get the vase i wanted, else i would love to have a temporary mini garden at home! haha....
Livingstone would kill me though....

alex wanted to eat the best tze char in singapore.
tough....
bcos there are so many tze char stalls in singapore, and most of them are nice.
which is the best in singapore then???
so i reckon, we will bring him to the tze char stall that is best in our hearts.

it was the 1st time for doreen too, i hope they liked the food.
when i placed the order, the lady goes, 'miss, i think u order too much, u guys can finish or not?..'
but we donch care.
die die also must let them try hup choon's speciality.

anyway, we finish the food la. hee...
im a rather big eater ok... hee...

i wanted to bring the two to TDS, we went, but we hit their closing hours,
and they were alrd cleaning up when we reach the place.
so no ice-cream luck,
alex suggested tanglin village, and i suggested dempsey.
and how wud i noe these 2 refers to the same place.
haha...im so ignorant....
he stays in vancouver, yet he noes better then me. haha..
this place is so happening now !! or issit becos it was valentines' nite??
haha...
and oh yes, speaking abt valentines' day, since livingstone and i are not celebrating, i shall then not discuss abt this occassion at all. hee...
SO, we got ourselves settled cozily at PS Cafe.
Alex was pretty impressed with this place. Me too.

I suppose this place gave me a foreign feel.
for at least, I donch see the normal skyscrapers or HDB or many cars outside the cafe.
there are trees, trees and still trees around the lounging area.
cool....
i like.

I ordered the earl grey, and it was served with this very nice and sexy china ware....
i like.
and i think and think, my hse cannot contain this cup, alex will say 'takana' (i.e not suitable la)....
so i shall jus admire.

why not admire us too?




so much for valentines' day... :)
my valentine was out with another group, haha...
