Updates for the month of Nov 09

As I am drafting this post, I realised that I don't have much recollection of what took place in Nov, except for my b'day and Kareen's big day!

Hmm... let's see... ...

November is always classify as lull period but it has been a busy month for me. I have so much work and o/s trips to handle. *Phew* and it is not over yet.

I missed the WSS staff dinner which was held on 6 Nov 09.

We went Ocean Butterfly to do the recording on our well wishes for JS & Kareen's wedding. Mavis did a good job and I think she can further develop her potential so that I can be a "xing" ma! *hahaha*

Our alumni meeting is back again!!! FYI, its still ongoing :p We're in the midst of organising the annual CNY reunion luncheon :)

I also accompanied Beary to the National Stadium to watch the soccer match betwen Singapore and Thailand. *Disappointing* The only good thing was our lions did not get zero goal in our home ground!

Thank you to Beary, my care bear group & DHW (less YL) for joining in and made the Nov b'day celebration a success ^_^ What a surprise!!! oh and not forgetting the "Hen" night and "Bachelor" night! ;)

The gals also meet up very frequently in the month of Nov 09 to help out in the preparation of Kareen's wedding. From shopping, to packing of wedding favours, to brainstorming of how to give the guys a good treat in the morning of their big day, etc etc. We ended up going home arnd 11+ on those days when we meet up but it was fun, though tiring on the next day.

Now that everything has been completed, something seems to be missing :)

Meet up with Jen, Sue and Alan for dinner @ Sakae Sushi on last Tues of the week to catch up on what's going on in life. *Thank you Jen for the dinner treat*

I bought a pink dress for the "Gate Crash". A niece piece and I can wear it for other events and outings :) Her luncheon theme was black, hence, not difficult -- I have plenty in my wardrobe :p

After their customary, we sent them, together with their barang barang, to the hotel and then we head home to take a nap because I wake up @ 4.30am in the morning (0_o) *Tired*

Later in the evening, we decided to buy food and have it in their bridal suite. We stayed til about 12+.

Woke up early in the morning again, washed up and went Snapz to set my hair and make up before heading down to the hotel. Luncheon has got its "air" and ambience. *wow* There were video of famous artists sending their well wishes to the Bride & Groom. We also get to enjoy the live performance of some local artists. *hahaha... wonderful* Food was okay, apparently from Tong Lok, but it didn't leave me with much impression -- probably because I was busy or I wasn't really hungry.

Oh ya... this one must blog. I was supposed to sit right at the back of the ball room. I kept joking about the fact that I super dislike having to be seated at the back or one corner of the ball room and that I will leave after the reception -- I got a 2nd row seat (after the VIP table) :p *hahaha* and I also kept "psycho-ing" LC to leave with me after the reception (of course, it was not going to take place).

Of course it is not because of what I had joked about and managed to get a front table but because our bride may need to call for us in the midst of the luncheon :)

After the lunch, everyone took pictures. The carebear gang took group photos. Everyone left happily. We went home to change and went out to have dinner with Adam and Karen @ MS.

I have to blog about this as well -- Beary & I spent $40 "fishing" nothing @ soft toy corner (if you know what I am talking about) while Karen "fish" an Elmo for $2! Lucky her but not for us. $2 for an elmo was COOL! *envy* It was addictive!
Think about it -- you could have gotten a better soft toy @ mini toon for $40!!!
*Shit* I am so stupid!!!

I have decided that Beary will BUY a soft toy, some cute character which is also available in that crafty machine, from mini toon and then carry it in my arms and walk pass over and over again that soft toy corner, showing off my soft toy! *humph*

Kareen & JS joined us for dinner @ Swensens as well. Supposed to catch a mid-night movie but we didn't do so in the end -- I can't remember why. (0.-)

Come to think of it, I didn't really do much in Nov 09. Besides having a few dinner dates with LC @ our usual place, I didn't go out with the DHW as well. XL did ask me to go Dragonfly with her on a few Fridays, but I have been too tired (-_-) and didn't have the mood so we keep postponing our outings.

Lastly, it's MY birthday!!! Thank you to my dearest Beary for all the lovely surprises and all my friends who had celebrated with me and the lovely gifts from all of you. Pictures tells a thousand words - therefore, I shall not elaborate more. Look out for my posting :)
