Compliments
Been receiving a number of compliments lately. It's as though I'm glowing and radiant. Firstly, I have had a number of colls coming up to me regarding my nails. Did glitter French manicure for my cousin's wedding tat time. They said that it was very pretty and some thought it must be very costly to do such nails. Then, they got really surprised when I told them that I did it myself. Well, some noe that I'm into nails and I do my own nails at times. Said I should open a manicure shop. Haha... I did entertain the thought before but this market is really saturated now. Anyway, I said I was looking for guinea pigs first but my gal frenz were staying too far away for the experiment. So my colls offered to book a meeting room for me to do their nails during Xmas and CNY. Lol... Told them my standard not that high yet lah, see how it goes bah...Secondly, I have received compliments on my smooth complexion. I guess I haven't had much problem with my face so far. They will ask me what products I'm using. And I told them I have actually just started on my skin care regime with oil cleanser, toner, moisturizer and masks. 1 coll told me to splurge on more atas brand instead of my Fancl and Neutrogena for now. But I dunno which brand is good for me so let me slowly try first...
Last but not least, this is the compliment which I detest. People have been complimenting on how slim I am and ask me to share my beauty secrets. I'm actually growing wider but people just can't see my fats that's all. Argh... Neither do they see me so disciplined working out and watching my diet now. It's not like the past when I'm juz skinny and can eat watever I want. I'm not the naturally slim type anymore. I'm really working hard to maintain and keep the fats off. Sad case... Hit the gym and ran close to an hour for 8km yest. There's no secret really. Just exercise and watch the diet lor. Simple as that...
Anyway, been really sick and tired of work. Since I didn't noe which bank to go next, I decided to request for a transfer internally first. There's high resistance to change but I noe I need to do this. I have to push myself out of my comfort zone and try to learn more while I'm still in the drive mode. I wanna be a highly motivated individual =)

IOD Retreat 2010
Finally, this year's retreat is over! Tiring but more fun this year compared to all the brainstorming last year. We played some games like Treasure hunt and Charade around RWS in the morn. Had buffet lunch then divided into 2 groups to watch 2 movies - Kungfu Panda and Invictus. Discussed on the quotes and learning points from the movie. Had a brief sharing on IQ (Innovation and Quality) as well. It's some ongoing project.
Dressing up or rather down for our dinner. The theme was "East vs West". We kanna East so our team decided to don some Malay costumes. Ours was the simplest cos we did not spend a dime. We borrowed the costumes from our fellow Malay colls.
The entire Malay family. They say we really look like one. Lol... Papa and Pregnant Mama in the middle with the many daughters and my supposedly "husband". Good thing I'm good frenz with "hubby" aka Ah Beng cos he and I were sabo-ed to rep our table on stage. There were various reasons. Some say it's asthetics, some say our costumes very compatible and stand out from the rest. Watever, we juz got it over and done with...
I think the Indian costumes are quite nice. They even had all these bling-bling accessory stickers to stick on their hands and forehead.
Me and Cindy. I think our color combi is quite nice. Pastel green and sweet pink. Didn't take too many pics last nite. That's all I have. There were other groups who dressed up as SIA crew, cowboys, glam Oscar winners and some from Venice with the accompanying masks.
On course tmr and Tue - "Think on your feet". 3pm off on Fri. I have decided to head to the gym since I can't really run outside with the haze. It's going to be another short week followed by the following Mon off again. Hahaha... I have taken Xmas' and CNY's Mons off too and I still have 7 days of leave to clear ah! Notice that I have been taking alot of Mons off. Prob will consider taking leave on a Friday soon...

Teck Hong's Wedding
Did recept for my cousin's wedding last night. As usual, I'm the front desk gal and it was my pleasure. Was the only one sitting there for the groom's side until this other cousin came along.
It's her wedding coming up next in Dec 2011... Times really flies. I still rem us playing at her house when we were young. Now she's going to get married soon! It's damn sickening though when the other relatives kept asking me when's my turn -_-"
Groom and the Bride...
I didn't manage to get a nice shot of them in real life. So took a pic of their wedding photo instead.
With our nieces...
And their sisters...
My youngest niece aka my new plaything now. Haha kidding... She's real cute.
