Ah b fever for 3rd day liao but not high fever la. I guess might be because he has been secretly eating biscuits in my fridge and unhealthy food in school AND he didn't drink enough water. Hopefully he will be well tomorrow ba, or else my plan of going Penang is gone. T.T

Was mad earlier with the guy selling us camera. My dear sms me the seller want to increase price due to GST, I was angry the moment I saw the msg. I replied him immediately telling him that inform that seller owner need to reconsider again and she could get a lower price from friend. Whether I can get a lower price than our agreed price, I don't care at all. Even I were to buy the same model at a higher price outside, I would rather pay for that than buying from him. The reason being very simple: I bid at the price you agreed to sell in ebay and there is no mention of excluding GST in the description so I don't expect myself paying higher than the price I bid for. As I expected, the guy don't dare to increase the price after dear told him owner want to reconsider again. =) I don't give in to such unreasonable people.

Hohoho... The lawyer's secretary called me earlier, telling me the (draft) deed poll is ready and asked me when I am free to go down. To my surprise, both the kids are required to go down as well to sign the papers. The first thing came into my mind is like how are they know how to sign when they are only 5 and 8 years old? I asked the secretary and she just put me to the lawyer. He informed me that they only need to initiated the documents, not exactly signing. Now, why can't the secretary explained such simple explanation instead of pushing everything to "wait for the lawyer"? She gave me an impression that she is very unsure of everything and having STM too. Haha..

Anyway I made an appointment with her on friday afternoon since everyone is free. I have planned to go there around 4pm and perhaps I can pick up the wedding band later on. I realised that I can pick them on from 1st August but only need to give them a call before I go down. Blur me..

Saw the Strait Times earlier on and found out that 1 of the Nepalese twins had passed away. Remembered they were a big news back then when they came to Singapore to have the operation to separate their heads. It's sad to see them have such ending despite being separated successful. I thought they would live on like us.. No, actually they don't. Their family is very poor, so they don't eat and live well. Malnutrition and hygiene problem is their killer. Both the twins look weird compared to normal kids. The operation caused the younger one being unable to walk while the older one with brain damage. And due to the fact, the younger twin's brain is not protected by the bone, she is rejected by school. She now use her hands to drag her body to walk around. Questions came into my mind.. Is it really a wise decision to separate them? Those who contribute $ for their operation, did they regret it? Did we made their lives more miserable? Perhaps if we don't separate them, they might not survived long, they won't be able to see each other but... I don't know.. There is no perhaps, there is no turning back. Life is always like this, you can't undo it once you make a decision. I do hope I won't make any wrong decision again.

YaYa

Getting the camera tomorrow, really looking forward to it. Hopefully that guy will call dear tomorrow morning as he promised. Our wedding bands should be ready anytime too.. Either on the 1st or 3rd August.. I put the receipt into my bag this morning in case the shop calls me and I can just collect it on the same day. =)

Will be spending a lot in August, got to save up from Sept onwards.. I want to save up to buy myself a nice kitchen, a nice set of furniture and electrical appliances that I want. Dear is saving up to make window and door grilles, alarm system, garden and the rest not being mentioned.  ^^ Sorry if I am not coming out for the next few months, my dream house is more important. Anyway, I think I didn't really go out much previously. (Haha~) Just that currently I even cut off my spending on prepaid card, not buying even 1 now. =D

I feel like being the happiest person now. I hope all this will last as long as it can, even when it does change, I hope it will not change too much.

YaYa

Hohoho.. Lucky I took my sis' advice to call the hotel again to ensure they gave me 1 long table instead of different tables. Indeed, the lady actually arrange mine in 2 sofa tables. Er... I did have second thought when I heard it, somehow it feel more comfortable than normal chair. But I still requested her to arrange us in a long table instead. If I accept the separate seating, then why do I reject the arrangement Royal Plaza gave me earlier? Its just doesn't make any sense. -.-ll

Ah b fell sick, school called me earlier. Of course I didn't pick up (as usual), dear went to fetch him instead. =P Because I was kinda of sick too.. Dear wanted me to stay a home today but I insisted on coming for work. Don't want to waste $ and sick leave ma, haha..

Called lawyer after lunch, wanted to make sure he accepted my job and he told me the deed poll draft is not done yet (so slow lo). I don't remember that is difficult to do, the lawyer I used to work for is fast. Today u gave him, later in the day or the next day I would be typing the documents already. *Wonder if he is keen to earn $*

YaYa

Was caught in surprise this morning when I called Royal Plaza to make a reservation for a table of 12, I was told there are no more big tables and what they can do for me is to give me 2 separate tables. Gosh.. So am I going to cut myself into halves and put it in both tables? So I told them politely that I will consider and give them a call if I need it.

After that is a mess. Running through the buffet list again, informing dear about the bad news, asking around for other alternative places. Considering for a couple of hours, I decide on

Blk 2 Temasek Boulevard (S)038982

In case anyone didn't know where is the exact location, it's right opposite Suntec City. By the way, there is dress code (Smart Casual) so make sure you dress appropriate.

YaYa

This is one of the longest delayed photos I supposed to upload ages ago. Only putting 2 of them here, my new house. Of coz the photos shown here are not my exact house but a showflat. But design is similar. =)





YaYa

Finally I slept early last night, at 11pm. I have been going to bed at 12am for the past few days. Ah b took a long time to memorise his Chinese spelling and by the time he's done, it's already midnight.

After much consideration, I decide to use the names "Zing Un" and "Zing Iong". As for their English names, I sticking with the one we thought of a few days ago.

Hated the weather.. Keep raining at the wrong timing. Should have rain during night or afternoon instead of at the time when people are going off to work or on the way home.

Just went to the lawyer's office and as expected, lawyer went out for lunch. His secretary must be having STM, totally forgotten about me and info she told me. She didn't dare to collect $ from me, keep insisting me to wait for the lawyer instruction. This is lame. That means I got to go back again just to pay the fees. Then she should tell me in the first place and give me a timing that the lawyer is around, not when he is not in the office! This is common sense. Shesh.. Some people just doesn't make use of the brain to think.

Went searching of online dictionary again (to convert hanyu pinyin to hokkien) and lucky I did because I didn't realise 恩 can be written either "in" or "un". Haha... Think will use "un" since I found this spelling in both of the dictionaries. =D

Hmm.. Now I don't understand between Taiwanese/Minnan/Hokkien Dictionary and Quanzhou Hokkien (minnan) Dictionary Online. 1 convert "Jing" as "Cheng" while the other convert it as "Zing" so which is the correct or better dialect to use? As for the word "Yong", both of them convert the same word "iong" so I guess that is the correct writing. Suggestion required here!!! Got to make a decision by tonight since I am meeting the lawyer tomorrow.

Wanted to find You Long Zi to check if their names suit them or not but I forgot to get the contact number from my sister and guess no time to go there also. I need to make appointment with him too, how to squeeze in the "last minute" appointment of mine?! -.-

YaYa

Totally, absolutely nothing to do in the office since 2 days ago. I am dying of boredom!!! Been sitting there, staring at the pc and waiting for time to pass. This is insane! I seriously pray that there will be something for me to do. I keep dozing off in front of my pc due to boredom and also I been going to toilet to "sit" so that I can daydream awhile.

Last night I used internet to find me dictionary to convert hanyu pinyin into hokkien and lucky me, I found a website to do. Don't ask me what is the website coz I can't remember it at all. Try searching it for an hour or more and you will be in the same position as me. Not sure if the names I convert is correct or not. Boy dialect name is Aw Cheng Iong while girl dialect name is Aw Cheng In. Er.. How do they sound? -.-

YaYa

Headache... Not real headache of course. Trying to figure out how to write my kids' names in dialect. My surname is in dialect so if I write their names in hanyu pinyin while surname in dialect, it will sound and look ugly. Help anyone?

YaYa

Went home searching Chinese names for them with dear. To my horror, there were tons of chinese characters and took us hours to view and didn't manage to read all of them (few thousands of pages leh). We picked out a few nice characters and finally we settle with the word "Jing". Girl will use 静 while boy will use 靖. So my dear girl will be known as 胡静恩 and my dear boy will be known as 胡靖勇. How is it? =)

Last night enen wanted me to read 三字经 to her and she read after me. Both of us kept laughing when she read. Instead of saying 人之初, she read it as 人是猪! Hahaha... I guess that's how kids started to read chinese. I believe she will be better as she read more.

YaYa

Okie, just gave a call to quite a number of lawyers asking about changing names including surnames to mother's and was quite simple. All they need are their birth certs, the chosen names, my birth cert and that's it. Haha.. And most importantly, its cost $100 only compared to adoption that cost $3,000. CHEAP right?

Intend to change everything including their English names. Say I am  paranoid or whatever, just don't want that person to find them out in future. Realise is hard to choose a chinese name, haiz so difficult. Thinking of using Charlotte and Everett. Sound nice mah?

YaYa

Been spending more time with family, haven't been playing maple for weeks. Watched a few movies during the weekend from mio tv and of course it was fun to see enen ran out of the room while watching alien and predator. End up she hide behind me with her head out, haha.. Ah b was brave, he sat there alone and watch himself.

Think we will be buying camera this week and will be able to play around before bringing it to Malaysia. Getting the 970 model, heard that camera is not bad. Whatever.. As long as it give me pretty photos, it is a good camera.

YaYa

Though didn't really looking forward meeting his parents & relatives, he promised me to bring me to Penang. =D Yeah! Intending to buy some local products  from there, they taste not bad and been wanting to buy.

End up I didn't buy the tops I wanted, was still considering and felt kinda of expensive. I wanted to cut my hair leh.. Think I shall get my hair cut first and see if I have any excess $ left or not but think most probably need much consideration.

Fine, decided to change their name and last name to mine, is more simpler and doesn't require too much documents too. Now, I am thinking if their names suit my last name or not. ^^

YaYa

Finally decide on the location, it will be at Royal Plaza - Carousel. It's a international buffet and heard from colleagues that food there are not bad so hope all of you enjoy! Oh yah, please confirm with me by 1st August before 8pm if you are attending as I need to make a reservation.

Yesterday called lawyer, wanted to know how to change the kids' surnames. The only way is through adoption and it require his consent. Oh great, I fully aware that that idiot will not agree so I guess I got to try asking in Malaysia. Good luck to myself.

Bought biscuits to work today. Not that i had given up on dieting but I realise that I need to eat abit during lunch so I won't get gastric pain. Ya, had it yesterday around 5pm. Don't wish it to get worse so no choice. =P

YaYa

Been looking at canon cameras, buying 1 at the end of the month. Yeah, I will get to play with one very soon. Really looking forward to it. ^^

Decided to go on diet so that one of my wishes can come true. Since yesterday I have stopped taking lunch and intend to go on for at least a month. Of course I won't eat too much during dinner,it will be of the same portion before I go on diet. Wish me good luck! Kopi, you must also jia you! =D

I think my sore throat is coming, got to drink more h2o and hope it won't come. This couple of days I could feel pain in my throat and it gets better when I drank water. Just leave me alone, sore throat.

As usual, he pretend nothing happened last night when he got home. I also don't know why I don't feel like marrying, haha... Hopefully I won't be a runaway bride. :0

YaYa

Very tired, keeps yawning and unable to concentrate. Didn't sleep well last night, been waking up a few times and didn't sleep much as well.

Suddenly I don't wish to get married or even to be with him. I told him last night that I wanted to call off everything. Don't ask me the reason, I have no idea either.

YaYa

I am a happy girl. Just won $50 and a small hamper from ufm1003. Although amount is no alot, at least is better than nothing. Shared the good news with dear at the first moment. =D Now what should I do with it? I am considering to use it either to subsidy my new tops or my haircut. Wanted to save more $ so intending to spend on either 1 of them only. I know is sad, I wanted both but saving is more important. =(

Okie, confirm visiting his parents on the 2nd Aug. Yah, I know is like kinda of late especially when we are getting married on the 8th. Well, we need time to buy bus tickets. Dear had already got his friend to get 4 tickets there so once we confirm having return tickets, we shall get ours here.

I need help! I have not decide on what type of food or place on my wedding day. This is frustrating! Give me advice please. I am thinking of eating chinese cuisine  as well in case I can't find a suitable place for buffet.  The price would be roughly the same if we are going to eat not-so-cheap or not-so-expensive food. Ideas, ideas, ideas! I seriously in need of recommendations!

YaYa

Today is my last day of renovation, however, I wasn't delighted. I been waiting for this day to come and yet I don't feel excited at all. Perhaps it's because I don't feel my flat is truly done.

Yesterday painters came, didn't really consider as painting at all as they only painted portions of the walls. Like here got different colours so they paint over. But in the end, you can see a numbers of colours on my walls. There are yellow, green, different tones of white, pink... I am not asking for perfect but please don't treat me as colour blind can? At least have most of them paint and I am more than happy to accept it but now? If they don't bother, don't expect me to sign the handover documents either. They haven't even mend the holes on my walls and ceilings, I am still waiting...

YaYa

Okie, I finally ytook a picture hof mya dress and shoe. Yes, shoe without s coz I am lazy to get the other pair out so took it with 1 of them only. I don't think it make any diff since the shoe is lying on the floor to be taken only. =p

So how do they fare? Hope they suit the occasion. :/

Now left with my hair. Might be going to have it cut at Tiong Bahru Plaza and get it dye and highlight as well. =)
Should be keeping my hair length but the hair styler could do anything else with the rest, haha...

Intending to do my own makeup though I am not an expert. A couple of friends did intro me some of the makeup artistic but its doesn't really attract me when viewing their past job photos as giving it a pass.
