Back to Work On 3rd Day of CNY

I thank God for a job to return to...

thou I am super SUPER tired now, all the late nights over CNY was killing,

I admit, I am getting more mature...... its age catching up...

plus, I NEED TO RUN.... all that feasting does NOT HELP!

Oh and HAPPY NIU YEAR

Ok... this is SO overdue

BUT

I am still undecided.

I know... i know,

my Wedding Planner is chasing me

Below are some pics of certain gowns I thought OK..

the Majestic Gown that I TOTALLY LOVE

On Happier days

Jolene and I.... Peace Jann... she really looks a lot like her dad

Am trying to hold her still and be glam...

but its not working out well... see next pic

SEE the struggle! Phew...

Well.... not too long ago... I attended a wedding, of someone I enjoyed talking a lot to and being around with, thou I don't see her often but I see someone else in her life often... Edlyn who is now known as Mrs Ah Hock!

I present you.... Jann, in her inaugural Flower Girl glory.... heheheee...

Decisions

I am deciding and Lord, I need you more than ever now. . . I need your intervention, I need your embrace and I just need you as you are. You see what's troubling this heart of mine and I pray, you will grant me peace and show me your favour and grace! Amen.

Sunday - Today

Today, I am feeling both mixed up... happy yet not so nearly happy. Vexed.. on one hand, there's the dress I like... on the other hand, there's a lot of considerations holding me back from being really happy with the dress. One is really Daniel's face and does he really mean it when he wants to get it for us? I look at him and was quite clueless... I mean, I am quite torn. Really. I know I shouldn't sound so "materalistic" and all that jazz but its causing this confusion and then... when I was cutting Daniel's hair just only (prior to this blog) he seemed so not happy with the hair cut today. I wonder is it the hair cut or is it him being unhappy with other things... maybe I am just thinking too much. Not sure. Just dam unhappy now. Anyways, if he really thinks his hair cut sucks, he can always head to the professional barber, afterall, I am untrained in Hair-dressing so if the cut truly sucks... .then. . . . . . . Still ponderriiinggggg...... BIG SIGHS

Today's THE DAY where I get to shop for things worth more than $1000!!!

I have never bought anything costing more than $440 for anyone or even for myself. The last time I blew $440 was for a pair of Titus watches that was on a whooping 60% SALE, if not, I won't even consider.

But today....

I will be shopping for my Bridal gowns

& I am excitied and happy and nervous all at once!

Will take some pictures to post here...

Look out for them!

Feeling Lousy

Today is a bad day... I am feeling so lousy.

Daniel Proposed... with a Diamond Ring no less!

I feel so happy to be alive! He has proposed in the nicest possible way, not what I imagined but still... Fantastic! This will be a story for the grandkids lar.... ... 0.6 Carat with 5 claw, F colour..

with 19 Dec 2009 on the underside..

I am one Blessed Girl!

10 Things About Ruthie:

1) Ok, this one is contributed by Daniel Pang, 4 years back when we were into our second year of this relationship, I totally forgotten & started picking "Black Gold" in front of him & startled him.. HE WAS LIKE "Omg, aren't pretty girls not allowed to fart, shit, pick their noses & burp????" I was like.... I am not alien, I am only human. Cheers to nose-picking!

2) I love only Green Tea Frapp in StarBucks! Nothing else comes close, with or without Whipped Cream... doesn't matter.

3) When I first played Nintendo Wii at Dan's place, I thrashed all the guys there at Wii Boxing, so, don't mess with me when it comes to extreme sports virtual / online games! Teeheehee~~ (Daniel has a short video to prove it)

4) I am addicted to Pet Society in Facebook, ITS THE BOMB!!!!

5) I kinda do enjoy organising outings / party or prepare home-cooked meals for close friends, cos THANK GOD, every outing I organised thus far has (by the grace of God) gotten 97% attendance! WooHoo~~ WOOT!!!

6) I love writing, blogging & churning out Press Releases, its in my blood to correct grammar, typo, spelling & etc... HAHAH... maybe just pure occupation hazard... I donno! Heeeeee

7) I actually kinda do enjoy running now, a lot more and how cool it is to push my body to the extreme sometimes... but the muscle aches can "kill" sometimes.

8) I can picture things in my head, my imagination is off the scale, thus my friends have been telling me, you should be in threatre, on radio or something but hey, I enjoy my job now! I can write my releases, mingle with reporters & appear on Telly from time to time, its the most enjoyable marriage of both worlds - THANK YOU LORD! You ROCK!

9) I enjoy watching movies! Esp. the comedy types like the recent Bedtime Stories, its so funny, I laughed SO LOUD in the movie threatre that...Thank Goodness no one scolded me. Oh and I hit the person next to me from time to time when its ultra funny too...

10) I enjoy being with the YA folks and the Detonate Youths! I do feel younger in their good company! And I love Emcee-ing for Weddings too!

I think I can only tag Ian, Sam, Pehbs, Sarah & Jialing.... cos no one left wor!

Happy 1st Day of 2009

I promised I will be back today! Well... I am.. stronger, fresher, better and HAPPIER!

I got so much to update all of you! Stay tuned... today, a couple of the YA decided we should have Dim Sum lunch at Roland Seafood Restaurant @ Marine Parade!

It was the BEST-est way to kick start the New Year, with close friends, laughter & GREAT FOOD! Pictures will come tomorrow.

Stay tuned!
