about Granny's 75th Bday

#3

Third highlight of the week was my granny birthday celebration! My Ah ma is 75 years old and to celebrate we had a nice sumptious dinner at a Tze Char restuarant in Bedok. Dinner was spent, chit-chatting with my cousins and watching how the older cousins tease the younger ones and how the younger cousin will fume and sulk and then serveral mins later, resume joking around and opening themselves to another round of teasing.

I love the fact that my parents makes the effort to strengthen ties with our extended family by organizing meetups and going back to my grandma's place every weekend. I've heard of many friends who tells me stories of how they only meet their cousins once a year, or things like not knowing their cousins' name and some even shared information of how there is a possibility that they might walk pass their cousin along the street and not know that they're related at all. I think thats so scary and worrying, whatever is happening to kinship?

So a short note to my dearest cousins:
I always have tonnes of fun whenever we are together and I'm glad that after so many years, we're still in close contact with one another. I would love to see you all grow up, get married, be around to see your baby when they appear and be updated on all the major milestones in your life.
Likewise, i would love to share all my life miracles with you all ...so lets work towards making this happen ya? :) Love ya all. Muackz.

about dress sho-ping

#2

the other fun event that happened was with my girl pals; we met up one fateful day after a loooong day of work and walked around Isetan shopping for a dress to wear at Wendy's Wedding. Besides shopping, our other objective was of course to take pictures! It's been ages since we took some group photos and even if we did, it usually ends up in de hands of people who don't send pictures like Wendy, Rekha and sometimes Denyse but think I'll better not name names.

After sho-ping and dinner, with a camera, we found a corner at Wisma Atria and went wild posing prettily, diva-ly, weirdly etc.

I always believe. Fun is not what you always what you do, but who you do it with that matters. So a simple thing like taking random pictures became the highlight of that evening because I had so much fun snapping them, and taking turns having my picture being snapped.
Their reaction time impressed me the most, no matter how messy and unorganized everyone was moments ago, upon seeing the camera is up and ready to snap, all of them can & will spontaneously pose and be camera ready in less than a second! So here are the pictures that night.

After trying like so many thousands pieces of champange gold dresses, only I ended up buying a lovely white cocktail dress seen in the fitting room pictures, while the rest decided not to buy, after sooo much hustle -_-".

But since we always have loads of fun, more meetups = more fun times! :D

about our domestic helper of 12 years...

Okie, so I haven't been blogging as much. Too much events had happen since my last post, so I shall attempt to do a summary highlighting the worth-mentioning.

My blog has been discovered by my Star Search supporters-turn-friends. I'm not sure if I'm really comfortable with the idea because I am a Pretty Private Person thus my initials PPP (ok. That's corny). But then that statement contradicts too because no one forced me to create a blog account. I willingly created one and willingly posted details about my life and fully understands that all these stuff can easily be searched and made available on the World Wide Web. So why should I even be whining?

So Hello Evonne and Joyce welcome to my world!

Now back to the highlights.

My domestic helper, whom I call Aunty Joyce, has worked for us for 12 good years. And now she has finally decided that it was time to bid us farewell and so it was back to the airport again on 25 th Nov 07.
It's been only 2 weeks since she left, but my entire family, we're kinda missing her already because my new aunty, she can't really cook. I hope her cooking will improve soon, I miss nice, yummy home-cooked soup.

We took pictures again... heres some to share..
