*Wedding*
Right so I'm suppose to put in a lot of thought and effort into this...and the next thing that is on the list is my dress fitting which will be next sat :) my maid of honour will be coming down from Msia to help me and also to take a look at her brides maid dress.
The problem:
I THINK I'M STILL FAT!!!
WAHAHAHA.....
ok you may think i'm exaggerating but I'm not sure if I am :P
I've been doing the uzap thingy which i know isnt suppose to lose weight but i think it did tone my tummy and i'm gg to start going for a swim every wkend. and joined my workplace's pilates/cum aerobics classes. Not sure if its gg to be enuf though but am really trying! i am i promise
I think I'm gg to super depressed next wkend albeit it is a long wkend but think nothing is gg to cheer me up much after the fitting :(

Nostalgia
So I've been reading a lot of blogs lately basically catching up as I havent had that much chance of late to read in the office. Been looking at pics from perth, reading about what my frens from perth have been up to and it brought me bk to a sense of nostalgia....of what perth was like for me...the familiarity, gg to church every Sunday, meeting the same old people, talking, chatting, worshipping, loving and gosh I MISS perth and i mean i MISS PERTH!!!....it brought me bk to such fond and not so fond memories, its jz such a sense of nostalgia ....that makes me really wana cry! I know weird as it is i really miss my home so much! I don't think I can stress how hard this has been for me and althou at times it looks as if I've assimilated successfully into the ways of life here in spore but believe u me at times i find myself longing to be bk in perth.
sigh....
enough nostalgia for today

....so i'm back...
So I've been told that my blog is dying...i don't update anymore...blah blah..the usual...all I can say is sorry guys...and wow u guys still read my blog...
right..so it's been a while since I wrote so I'm just gg to do a quick update:
1. started my new job
2.moved into my new place
3.Mum came over for 3 wks to stay wif me
4.Frog is now still in Taiwan but will be bk by Tues
5.drove my car a lot
Right so not THAT much has been happening hence not much blogging but most of all its because my new job is very very different from my new one. I don't get that much time in office to surf the net anymore and to blog...and my internet at home was only just set up hence the delay in update...but thanks for those who still drop by here now and then.
Well...what prompted my sudden return to the blog world was the pics of Boon and Carmo's wedding on Lizzie's blog...it made me think that its not too far away til its my turn.. *gulp* and Carm's jz looked absolutely stunning in her gown and everyone is happy and I duno...call me a hopeless romantic but even though I'm not there physically it's almost like I cld imagine wat it was like.
So I started to realise its only a little less than 8 months til my own wedding and well lets jz say i havent done much since i've been busy wif the house...til now. So I better get my act together and better put some action into the planning. So far, my bridal boutique is booked, my hotel is booked. Next month I'm going down to select my gowns and see what I wld like done. But I guess there's a lot more to be done, such as the wedding day itself, all the logistics, who are my helpers...doing wat, and my camera man for the day, video man for the day, etc etc...the list is long!!!! But I'm glad to have a fren who's now helping me out wif some of the finer details which will aid me a lot bcuz im totally lost as to where to start.
So I guess now my next big project is my wedding...which will be rather exciting and hopefully not so stressed.
oh and for Food Junkie whoever you are...i will a special food post soon jz for u!! as i'll be gg for a 'special' dinner next sat...so watch out for it! hahaha...still have no idea who u are...
alrighty thats all from me folks...tks for dropping by :)

Random thoughts....
Today will be my second last day here as after tomorrow, I will no longer need to step foot into raffles place...unless...im there to meet someone hehe..guess yea this is the end of my chapter here and as i sent out the email to let some of my colleagues and managers know that my last day will be on Friday, some replied with the most sincere of thanks and well wishes. It really touched my heart as I didnt know I was actually appreciate, that ppl like Managers appreciated my help. Perhaps it might be my jaded view of ppl here in general but I suppose it is only when one is leaving then others will speak up to say 'thanks'. Ironic isnt it, that we humans only learn to appreciate what we have only when it's gone. I wonder when will we ever learn...
Entering into a new phase of my working life is a little scary as I have come realise that i'm afraid of failure. I'm afraid to fail...but what Dr Joyce said on sunday made me realise that God loves me...no matter whether i'm a failure or not. And I must know Who I AM in Christ so that even when i do fail...I KNOW that i'm NOT a failure. I don't really know where I get this fear of failure from, I don't think I'm a perfectionist but I do know that I don't like to lose or fail. I guess God is trying to teach me to let go in this area of my life. To not be afraid to fail and learn. Cuz it is only in my weakness is He then strong.
I realise that I don't have a strong foundation of 'girlfriends' here... and I really miss that. I mean I do catch up wif my girls when they are back or when they are here...but...its not the same. Is this what growing up is? I feel a little lost and perhaps that is a good thing I don't know...and yea I guess it's always easy to say oh you can always re-establish your grp of girlies here but it's that years of bond that i share with some of my girls that it's hard to re-establish. Ppl talk bout their JC or Pri school mates and meeting up with them seeing how e'one is doing...but it's that history that I don't have. Or with the girls htat i do well they are not here. Maybe I duno what I'm rambling on about...guess all these thoughts are jz random....havent really put them into coherent strings.
that's enuf thinking for today....
