How have your Chinese New Year been? Have you done visiting friends and family yet? Don't forget we only have till Monday to do so!

Gong Xi Fa Cai!

Back from Bali and HATING IT!

We finally touched down on Friday after spending 4 incredible but hot days in Bali and boy am I hating being back!!!! Back to work tomorrow.......I have been depressed the moment we touched down at Changi and I'm still not over it! *!%*$


The trip, apart from the weather when we are at sea level, was great. Although close to 50% of the time was spent on the road getting from one place to another, but each time we get there, it never fails to take our breath away! We almost always start our day complaining about the heat but everyday (except 1st & last day), we will end up in a mountain somewhere with strong winds and extremely cool weather (think Genting Highlands in Dec). It was just great.


The villa we were in, wow.....speechless. Apart from the mozzies, I have no complains whatsoever. I can live with the mozzies. 

The trip ended better than expected. I was apprehensive before because I have never travelled with my aunts before (Genting Highlands when you were 5 doesn't count) especially my 2nd aunt who is somewhat unique. Also we were a pretty big group of 8 pax so trying to get everyone to agree to something might be tough. But thank God, I had all the itinerary and transport arranged so all we do everyday is to get into the car and let the driver surprise us. The best decision I ever made.

The downside? Hmm....food was rather disappointing. Apart from our daily breakfast which are cooked in our villa itself, I haven't found anything worth recommending at all. Not even Babi Guling at Ibu Oka nor Bintang beer. Also, I lost my ID even before I checked-in! Ish! 

I'm glad mum enjoyed herself - this trip could either make her or break her ie: she could stop traveling altogether and hate airplane rides or she will be more open to traveling from now on. If you didn't know already, I had to resort to booking and paying for the flight tickets first then tell her afterwards to make sure she'll go on this trip with us!


Verdict: Great holiday with the family which includes my 2 aunts (dad's only sisters) - great way to spend our first Chinese New Year without Grandma but she was in our thoughts throughout the trip. 

We miss you Grandma.  

Congratulations Lil' Sis!

*Yawn*


Anlynn has yet again scored straight A's in her AS exams. For those of you, old school like me, AS is first half of A-levels. A-levels is no longer like what it used to be - one monster exam at the end of the course. 


It is now a course with 2 final exams each of them accounting for 50% of the final score - AS and A2. 


So yes, Anlynn's AS results were announced this morning and again straight A's. She has received conditional offers from 3 universities in UK based on her forecast results and now with this actuals, she will most likely be accepted to all of them. I'm pretty sure Anlynn will not be able to attend Sam's wedding in Melbourne in October. See term in UK starts in Sept *wink*


Congratulations Lynn! Echoing what everybody else has said - we don't want you at Sam's nor Sue's wedding!!!

Welcome Year of Dragon!

First day of the year of the dragon and I have broken all traditions by not visiting my in-laws! Not on purpose.....hubby's sick. :(


Tomorrow's Bali....I hope hubby's fever will go away and he'll be fit for the trip tomorrow!!!! 

The BlogShop Sucks *2nd update*

Good news for all you vendors out there!

On of Haji vendors have managed to file a claim with Claims Tribunal and they are going to court this month (or is it next...hmmm)!!!

For all of you out there if you still haven't got any reply from the police, you can start looking at filing with Claims Tribunal. The filing fee is S$100!

Good luck and happy new year!

Happy Lunar New Year!

Happy Chinese New Year everyone! Hope the year of the dragon brings all the goodness to all.

Only a few more days to Bali =)

First day of work on 30th Jan is actually not a good day for me to start work but my boss didn't approve my leave extension by just another day. So I am seriously considering of coming back to the office on 28th Jan to look at some emails. This year is going to be tough for my industry and also personally, my budget is super high. Gotta do everything I can just to make sure it's gonna pass smoothly. No hiccups.

Cold sweat sial!

New TV

Oh I knew I left something out!

Hubby got a new TV for our place! He actually bought 2: Samsung LED 40" for MIL and Samsung LED 32" for us. He claims that this is his Valentine's gift to me. Uhhh.....nice try darling.

Exactly 14 days to Bali!!! Woot!
