Valentine's Day 2011

Was in Bangkok on Valentine's this year. The team went for dinner that night. Trond gave the ladies a heart-shaped balloon each, from the restaurant. :)

CNY 2011

I had a good long break during CNY this year. I took 2 days off work, so in total, I had 6 days off. Here are some photos taken over the long break.

We had dinner at Delicious;

 No cars at all on LDP!

 My handsome Eddie posing handsomely with his latte.

 My delicious grilled chicken caesar salad. Yummy!

My delicious red velvet cupcake.

We discovered a beautiful mosque when we went for a tahlil;

Eddie posing funnily in front of the mosque.

We were pretending to be 'tourists' in Turkey or something like that. Haha!

We had CNY dinner with the family;

 Handsome Eddie in red in honour of the celebration. He got a lot of angpows that night. Haha!

 Yummy yee sang waiting to be tossed!

A cousin of mine, Ling Huey, actually wished for no rain when tossing the yee sang. Hehe.

 Huge fish deco at the restaurant. I LOVE fish!

 Crab looking at me. I wonder what he's thinking.

Has anyone ever eaten this? Can somebody tell me how do you eat it and what kinda dishes?

All in all, it was a normal quiet CNY. I was rather surprised to receive quite a lot of angpows. Eddie was even MORE surprised as this was his first time having CNY dinner with my family. But I think it would be his first and his last. Next year, we'll have to start giving angpows. Huhu.

Batafurai

Today I made origami butterflies with Diya. I used pages torn out of Eddie's old Time magazine, Diya used coloured paper.

I'm thinking if I should fold hundreds of origami something for the wedding. I really like the idea of 1,000 flying cranes but I guess it's a very much used idea. I think butterflies would be very nice. Any thoughts? :)

You Are On The Same Frequency

I know this post is very very late in the new year, we are now entering the second month of the year. But as this is MY BLOG, what I say, goes. :) Plus it's not like I have any readers who are curious to know what my new year's resolutions are. Heh.

This year, I don't have any resolutions per se. But it is more like a list of things to do. This is it (however, this is a non-exhaustive list).

• Plan the wedding
• Learn how to use Adobe Illustrator
• Update blogs
• Be more patient
• Be more positive
• Be happier
• Be healthier
• Save more money (after the wedding)
• Take more photos
• Be more active - swim, cycle, run, etc
• Take better care of myself - go for facials, manicures, pedicures, etc

Well, one month has passed and so far;

• The wedding planning is underway
• I have already started my AI tutorial lessons and I intend to complete one tutorial every 2 weeks
• I am updating my blog starting with this post, and I have already started another blog - details to be provided later
• I listen to Secret: The Power (audio book) whenever I need to recharge
• I have scheduled for several monthly appointments at the facial place, nail salon, etc and bought myself products

So I'm off to a good start but need to make more effort to be more active and take more photos. Looking forward to a great year ahead!

Update #3

I have LOADS of travel stories and photos to share but simply can't find the time to write nor edit the photos. In the past months, I went to:

Singapore and visited Marina Bay Sands

India and visited the Taj Mahal

Delhi, Kashmir and Jaipur, also in India

Sandefjord, Norway (again) for a meeting

Stockholm in Sweden

Bangkok numerous times

A few friends and I actually drove from Sandefjord to Stockholm. It was a 7-hour drive (plus a 2-hour ferry ride). Interesting story there.

Also organized Syikin's baby shower. LOADS of photos there too!

Will try to find time on top of the wedding planning to post stories and photos. Yea, you read that right. Wedding planning. I'm getting married! Hehe.

P.S: I have a meeting tomorrow with Chenta Weddings. I am SO EXCITED and NERVOUS! Hehe.
