Nicole's Wedding = A fun nite of Joy & Laughter
It's Nicole and Adrian's wedding held at Mandarin Orchard tonight. The very first among us to get married. I expect to see more weddings coming up soon...
The newly wed. Congrats once again Nic and Adrian!
I love this gown of Nicole's. My camera totally didn't do justice to her gown. It's a lovely shade of emerald blue and royal purple.
And for myself, I finally got to wear this Mango bare-back dress which I bought a year ago. Damn, bare-back dress is a hassle...
My personal fav pics for the night:
We had so much fun to the extent tat we were the last few to leave. I shall let the pics do the talking...
Ending with the group shot. Looking fwd to our CNY gathering alr!

Fatal weaknesses
Dunno wat's up with me lately. Addicted to online shopping which is something I really dun like in the past. Bought 3 items online in a span of 4 days. 2 dresses have arrived. Still pending a biker jacket which is expected to arrive next week.
M-shaped workdress from Bonito
Fresh with Mints dress from MDS
They are pretty cheap so I didn't think much and juz ordered. But sometimes will regret cos either the material or cutting might not be very good. Shit man... Keep spending and I couldn't clear my old clothes fast enough to accomodate so many new pieces. Juz brought a bag of old clothes and even my Guess bag to Salvation Army last week but still didn't clear up much space. Spring cleaning for CNY is a big headache.Another fatal addiction is Bubble Tea! I dun understand how come the bubble tea craze is back again these days. I drank 4 cups in a week. I managed to gather colls frm various depts to order a total of 16 cups from Eskimo last week. They do free delivery for 10 cups and above. Drank Gong Cha at PS during my movie Saw VII last Fri. Specially drove down to buy Koi on Sun and tried another new one called Woobbee at TP mkt today. OMG... Even though I increase my workout, it's still not sufficient to burn all the additional fats coming from the pearls of the bubble tea. I'm close to having a mid life crisis!! Looking fwd to my new pilates class tmr but fear of the whole body aching on Fri. It's a love-hate relationship. Sigh...

Saw VII
This final chapter of Saw wasn't as good as wat I expected. Or prob I had anticipated too much as this is gonna be the last Saw. Did not experience any 3D as stated either. Nevertheless, the storyline was still not too bad. A number of Jigsaw survivors came back together for this final episode. Can't say too much as some of you might be intending to watch it but has not done so. Anyway, this is rated R21 and gore to the max. I think I will always rem a scene vividly where a guy was trying to pull a key attached by string out from a lady's stomach through her mouth. I can practically feel it in my throat and I was coughing and gagging while watching it. So just to let you know and prepare U for the show if you are going to watch it...

Short Week
Too used to having Fri early off for last 2 weeks due to Xmas and New Year. Hence, I applied for half day again today. Argh still in holi mood and dun feel like working. I still have 5 more days of leave to clear after taking 24th of this mth and the Mon after CNY. Prob I should really consider taking half day off for all the Fridays. Haha...Anyway, the long-awaited last Saw VII is out and it's 3D this time! I think this is the only movie that I have been following since 2003. Ppl think I'm crazy to like such a gore show. But I really like the simple setting yet twisted and powerful plots. Amazing how it managed to go on even after Jigsaw has died in the 3rd movie. Promise, will definitely blog abt the show after I have watched it. Tickets booked for tonite's slot. Gonna catch up on loads of sleep later to enjoy my show to the max!
2011 seems to be a damn happening year. Barely a week and I heard so much abt the ppl around me. Some getting married, some juz gave birth, some juz got pregnant. Some got bonus, resigned and found new job. Some ppl's loved ones just passed away. Suddenly I felt as though my life is a standstill. I feel so stagnant, I'm not moving but others are revolving around me instead. 1 consolation is tat I know I'm in full control of my own life. The key word is CHOICE. I believe I can achieve things tat I want so long as I choose to put in the effort. For those which are beyond my reach, it's cos I choose to let them go ;) Positive thinking - Wat a great way to start the New Year!

A brand New Year
Comes in the form of a heartwarming sms from someone who used to be my Counterparty. I still rem he was the first person who called me when I just started work about 3 years back and caused me some panic as I was still unsure abt some stuff. After much teleconversations and emails, we (my comp and his) finally met up for lunch this year. It's amazing how friendships are formed. He has since left MS and moved on to DB.I'm meeting 1 of his ex coll for lunch next week before she goes on maternity leave. I believe these are contacts which are important in networking cos U nv noe when U might need their help again, be it for work or when U wanna jump ship. To put it crudely, U may see it as I'm using them. But I believe it's mutual. I like helping others who could in turn help me as well. Makes things alot easier to accomplish. *Note: This applies purely for work*
Boss noe this is one of my forte. They actually think I'm very sociable as mentioned in the recent appraisal. Wat a joke! I juz can't be bothered to spend time with my own team members. I would rather mingle with colls frm other teams and depts cos I noe I will need their assistance in one way or another and also cos there's no conflict of interest, I could talk to them more freely. More importantly, my name will be casually thrown up when my boss attends internal or external meetings. Doesn't hurt to be remembered once in awhile ;)
For some reasons, I have become very practical. I need to weigh the risks and benefits in most cases. Ppl who mean nothing to me ain't worthy to be mentioned on my blog anymore. I dun even understand why they still bother to read at all. Must have nothing better to do. Even if they are getting on my nerve through some random sms, I refuse to write it down here. In the past, I would be hurling profanity and showing U the middle finger. Now I simply ignore though I might have said it out loud in real life. Haha...
A great way to start this new year is that I have rejoined the Pilates class. Determined to get my body more toned so I can strut around in my new heels and dresses. A few other plans in the pipeline. Shall talk abt it only when they have been finalised.
