CNY

Updates. Haven't been doing much lately. Swamped with lots of workload but both of us are doing well. Been almost 3 weeks since the last really short update. So anyway we all had a great CNY. Everyone was back and we celebrated grandma's 90th birthday. It was amazing...

We had a wonderful reunion with loads of amazing food!!!

Grandma and my nephews (Daniel, Linus and Conrad) had an amazing time as well.

We had the lions come to dance for the little ones.

Everyone came for grandma's 90th birthday. Our one big happy family.

And this is by far the best shot for the year.

February

I know it's only the 3rd day of February but there's so much to talk about. Am feeling so excited. And no it's not because of CNY. Talking about CNY, it's about time we had a new wallpaper. So outdated. Alvin's working on one now as I am writing this. Anyway, this is what's happening that's making me so excited:

• My brother's coming back this Saturday (for 2 weeks!).
• Cousin David and wife Grace will be back from the UK together with my little baby nephew Conrad this Friday until 4th day of CNY.
• Cousin Gillian and husband Barry are coming back from the UK too! Together with baby Linus & Daniel (Am seeing the 2 babies for the first time!) They'll be here till March.

• Cousins Susie and Vincent with their other halves would be here together with their "little" ones too (Tricia, Julian, Timothy, Chloe).
• Melanie and baby Melvyn will be here too with Mummy Alicia.

• The house is going to be cram up with so many people!!
  
• We'll all be celebrating grandma's 90th birthday on the 3rd day of CNY.
• There's going to be a mini reunion karaoke with my good old friends (Khang, Alan, Elaine, Diana, Bryant and whoever else is coming!).
• And I'm moving to a new office (my very own room...this Saturday).

BUT what's more exciting is this ...

"OMG What happened to your hair???"

Happy New Year!

,It's finally the new year, and man it was such a great way to kick off the year (or not!). Looking back, 2009 was an exceptional year, starting my very first official job, Alvin moving to Kuching to work, and definitely, not forgetting to mention the main highlight, the 15m free fall jump I took in Sentosa.

I am not going to bore you with our event log for 2009, just on what we've been up to since Christmas.

Christmas: We attended Christmas midnight mass at Holy Trinity Church, Kenyalang. Mass starts at 11.15pm but we were there at 10pm and no we were not that kiasu just to go there early to get front row seats!! They were having caroling 1 hour before mass. We had a small simple family christmas dinner. I made mashed potatoes and salad. A lot of food for just 5 people!! My mum cooked fried rice, fried chicken and lamb chop. Alvin helped make the mushroom soup.
New Year's Eve: Went out with Brandon, Belle and Huilin for dinner at Sharing Planet. The cabonara that night was over salted, my 2nd time there. Later we decide to head down to travillion to watch the countdown. When we arrived our reaction was "OMG...this ppl aint our crowd at all. They are so YOUNG!!". Anyway, on the way there, we received a msg from Debra. Congratulations to her on her 2nd baby girl, Danielle!! We are so proud of you girl!!

New Year: After watching 4 countdowns at form different pubs/bars, we decide to go back to our favourite Jalan Song and drown ourselves with beer. It was awesome!! No side effects till...

2nd-6th January: until Saturday. We got sick..flu, cough and a bad case of diarrhea !!! And what's worst, I had my company annual dinner that night!!! Did not really enjoy myself but tried my best. Theme was Wild Wild West. The picture below is currently the only pic i have of that night...need to get the rest from my GCS Ah Kong. I look so drowsy. hahah..

Happy new year everyone! And hope it'll be a fruitful one =).

Happy Birthday Alvin!

I fell asleep at 8pm last night and here I am now awake at 4am! Gotta kill another 3 hours before its time to get ready for work. Been thinking a lot about work lately, even in my dreams (for goodness sake!). I've lost focus on what I really want and have been just cruising along day by day. I need to take charge, and show them I am capable of being as good as any male engineers. That means getting down and dirty (That doesn't sound right at all...HAHA).

Anyway, we had a surprise birthday party for Alvin (a.k.a. OSK's chipmunk) on Sunday at Hartz. Oh yes he was surprised all thanks to a hoax sms from Belle asking him out on a date and he totally fell for it. Though he was pretty curious on my constant smsing and I had to blame it on boss. Sorry Francis. LOL.

Thank you everyone (Belle, Teo, Juliet, Jac, Valerian, Karen, Brandon, Voon, Irene & Emeric) who came and make this all happen. And thanks to all the birthday wishes from everyone who couldn't make it that night. *Hugs*

Mind Your Language Singapore!

,Sad to say, our short break has finally came to an end. Definitely exhausted from all the walking and running (not even gonna mention about the rain while we’re at Sentosa). Time in Singapore was awesome to the max!! Loads of feasting, shopping and a whole bunch of gossips for sure. Some photos to summarize our trip.

Day 1:

Day 2:

Day 3:

Day 4:

And here are some photos of MooDuckie enjoying her trip too.

However there is something I really need to mention about our trip. Question: How dumb can Singaporeans be? One thought that we're Japanese, another one was surprised to have come across two banana Malaysian Chinese and the worst one was calling us KIDS! There was this immigration lady which really pissed us off. Here’s what happened..

I handed our passports to the immigration lady at the airport.
Lady: Ok, you can step aside.
Alvin: Who me?
Lady: No not you.
So, I stepped aside with my passport, while waiting for Alvin.
Lady: Checking in together are for couples and not for KIDS! (while rolling her eyes)
Alvin: We’re older than we look!!

If she was not the immigration lady, she’ll sure get a whole load of crap out from us. I wanted to look for the customer complaint form but couldn’t find one. A complaint form is easily available in the immigration counter in Kuching airport.
