Since the girls has gotten their Christmas presents from Jo and I, then no more secret anymore… This is what we all have now! YEAH!!!
—- The ‘Hello Kitty’ photoframe in the design of a musical ferris wheel —
And FINALLY I can share what I prepared and gave to my mum for her birthday. Was keeping it as a secret from Oct till now coz wanted to give the girls a surprise as it was this same musical ferry wheels that I gave my mum… but of course, with my magic touch at it…. it is called ‘family love’ … Awww… =p =D
Tata…. presenting to you…. “My Family Ferry Wheel” *proud*
Not a very artistic and creative me… can create this… Am already v proud of myself! *beam* =p =D And most importantly, my mum loves it! v(^_^)v
Oh my bro asked.. “cie, what if I got kids, so how to fit into the Family Ferry Wheel?” Fret not.. Have thought of it already. If lets say, in future if Andry and I have spouses.. we can move Mama & papa to the centre foto. Then 4 children and 4 children-in-laws…. haha And if anyone of us have kids… for example if my bro has kids.. then place my bro and my sis-in-law as one photo and the kid(s) as the other fotos.. and so on… See … I have thought all of it already! Cheesee!! haha
Ying is back in town.. so meet up at Vivocity to meet up with her and her frien, Jessica (same name as my sis-in-law!), together with Senorita, Jo and juskawaime!! =) Jess & Ying seemed very happy to be in Vivo for shopping as well!!!
Shopping Queen of the day happily showing her victorious conquer!
That is not surprising as there were sales all over the malls!! 20% off, 40% off, 50% discount, up to 70% discount… Malls are crowded with people.. buying stuffs like everything no need $$$ as well!! haha -____-”" Even Senorita and juskawaime could not resist and bought some stuffs.. The only goodie girl is our dear Jo.. haha
See it is 50% off sign!! But I am more interested in the pinky ballooonnss hehe =p Bought a shining belt from here as well
We had dinner at Kim Gary HK Restaurant.. as usual the queue is horrendous.. But actually it moved pretty fast.. so soon we got ourselves a table and started ordering.. I ordered the seafood wok.. hmm… so so only though (a bit regret ordering it later) … too much rice.. I will still prefer their french toast! The best!! Yummy!! =D
Happy us with our food! Tuck in…… =D
Later on.. we got onto Mount Faber and into The Jewel Box! Cool place just coz I haven’t been there before!! haha Yes.. I am the mountain tortoise… Heard so much of this Jewel Box… finally managed to step into it yesterday! haha
Patronized their open bar – The Altivo. Pricey drinks they have here.. Well, of course, considering the spectacular view u can get from here .. the cable car connecting the Mount faber and HarbourFront , the fake snow… etc
Sorry my ‘limited’ camera is limited! So the below views are supposedly to be much better in reality!! =p
Thanx to new friend – Ly for his treat on our drinks! Cheers to our Health, career, freedom, friendship and happiness!! =D
This Elf dance started from a gf from HK sending her personalized dance…

But the “Chao Ah Beng” is doing very well in his role of the museum guide. Mark Lee, one of the Singapore’s friendliest Ah Beng comedians for years, is the new face of the Explore Singapore!, which has fun events aimed at drawing more people into museums and libraries.
All his 160 slots for the free tour of the National Museum is HOT!! All were booked a month in advance. Seems like this year 2007 is a good year for him.. He has just won the Best Host Award and Top 10 Popular Male Artists in recent Star Award ceremony 2007.
Read more of his news in his teacher aka JackNeo’s blog.
Here is also the videotalk between MarkLee and JackNeo
After Christmas on 26th Dec, a colleague YF sponstaneously asked if we wanted to go Si Chuan Dou Hua Restaurant (at 60th flr in UOB building at Raffles MRT).. so off we went with 3 cars and 13 colleagues.
Nice view u have over there… after all, 60th floor.. and u still even have to take 2 lifts to reach there!! haha and also bypassing the security gate.. YF booked a reservation for us, and we have a exclusive room for ourselves.. Great!!
From here, u can see the Sg Flyer, Esplanade, the floating stadium, Padang…etc （foto taken from my hp – nokia 6300)
Food here are very spicy.. and very delicious… We had duck, chicken, pork, dou miao vege, fish (eel), toufu… 6 dishes.. Oh u got to try their dessert tou hua as well… very smooth.. they have like ‘kou qi zi’ tou hua, water chestnut touhua, sweet touhua, salty touhua and even 酸辣 ’suan la’ touhua (try it at ur own risk!! haha =p )
Oh well.. I thought I can bear the spicy food.. coz I was finishing the chicken meat that is filled with chillies.. it was one of the spiciest dishes.. so I thought I will do everyone a favour by eating it (since some of them can’t really take the hotness…) But in the end, I am the one who cannot take it!! -___-”
Started going toilet from 8pm that night… till wee hrs at 4am… Oh…. -____-” It is definitely not fun!!
Anyway despite yummy and spicy food.. the cost does not come cheap! Car park fees are ex $8-$10 (for abt 1-2hrs), not to forget there is ERP charges as well, food isn’t cheap either $580 for 6 dishes for 13 of us.. Luckily there is 15% discount for UOB card holder.. but then it still amt to abt $40 per person… That is definitely not cheap.. But since it is Christmas’ time.. this luxury does not occurs often… we can still afford to enjoy nice and fine dining sometimes.. don’t we? =)
Work has been busy…. Didn’t really have mood to celebrate Christmas.. Anyway I didn’t normally celebrate Christmas..
Only a gathering at friend’s place.. during Christmas Eve.. wanted to just stay for a while.. in the end, stayed till morning 6.30am GOSH!! and then need to sleep and then wake up for the 4pm movie show!
The gang gathering
And on Christmas Day itself, catched a movie at GV Gold Class, at Vivo City, with courtesy of my company =) Not bad the seats… but to pay $25 for the ticket… hmm… I will re-consider…
Wearing new top, new jeans and new image for the day .. and watching at Gold Class (ALL first time experiences!! ) – thus need to take foto! haha =p
Really like Nicholas Cage.. Not a very handsome guy, but a very charming guy. And in the movie, he is portrayed as someone intelligent.. I like that kind of combination of guy – charming and intelligent… if plus witty, humurous and loving (towards me) – best! haha .. ok… i can day-dream right?? =p
Last year, managed to rent only a pink wig… This year, decide to invest more.. haha glad so, coz we won! Since last post was talkin on the costume of this year’s Year-end party, thought to bring up my costume of last year. Though didn’t managed to win the Best Dressed Costume Award (felt disapppointed and sad then), I have enjoyed myself trully..
Fun! Sensational!! Limelight!!! Yeah that was me!! =p =D
Pinkish me (without wigs and with wigs)
Very honoured that a personalized video of me was specially created for me by my dear colleague, Swee Chuan =) Always brought smile and laughter and blush to my face everytime I viewed it! haha =p
Was not intending to attend my company Year End party this year, as I anticipated I will be quite busy to really enjoy it, and next day is YF’s big day, and also no time/mood to go through the trouble to borrow costume for this year’s theme – FANTASY, YOUR FANTASY. So I didn’t register my attendance then.
I was also a bit disappointed that I didn’t won last year’s Best Dressed Costume (Theme: Retro), coz I thought I was the best among the ladies!! Ok placed too high hope on myself. But instead lost to the blue-hair lady.. as she has more supporters in her department.. sigh…
But alas, God loves me. He gave me a 2nd chance. One of my colleagues was sick so unable to attend, so instead of wasting the ticket – She gave it to me on that day itself (14th Dec 2007). And that means that night is the party… I was not prepared. I was in office at 2pm, with no make-up kit, no costume, not even have a nice dress to go to the party..
So make a wildful request to my 2 colleagues (ZQ, SL) stating that if they went with me now to rent costume, I will consider to go. Yes.. I felt if want to go, must wear costume.. then at least it will be more fun! Yes, I like to be in the limelight!! haha =p And also a more good reason is that can have the chance to win the “Best Dressed Costume“… Yes, I was a bit ‘tempted’ (心动) when a colleague Daniel was sharing with the best dressed costume award is $250 cash vouchers (I was not sure whether it was $250 cash or $250 voucher.. but I knew I remembered it was $250.. something!)
So yes, we went to No.1 Costume (in 32 Aliwal Street) at abt 4pm++ to find our Fantasy costumes. And I then.. fall-in-love with this Medieval hat instantly once I saw it! And next I need to find was my dress to go with it.
Medievel Princess or Princess Shrek (with borrowed warrior’s shield)
But alas… too fat.. many dresses can’t wear!! *sobs* They should make more bigger sizes costumes leh.. Cannot discriminate the L and XL and XXL and XXXL… pple lar!! lol =p I was a bit urgent then coz time was ticking, it was already almost 5pm.. and party to start at 7pm. I had a 2nd choice then.. to dress up as Aladdin.. a bit funny.. but better than nothing. I just thought if I can have the matching dress for my Medieval hat, I think I got chance to win Best dress costume! And thanx God, thanx Subki (No. 1 costume sales assistant over there)… very helpful.. and eventually found a lovely white top to match my gold flair skirt (which I found it by chance too!) .. He gave us good bargain/deal for the whole costume.. Thank you Abang and kakak! *muack*
I think if without Subki, everything will not be smooth. If we had his assistance right at the beginning, I think we will have save at least 1 hr… He helped me and ZQ to finalize our costume. ZQ was very one-hearted till the end …. Cleopatra (Queen of Egypt) costume! At first, she was dressed in one of their exclusive costume .. lovely, exquistive.. but very ex.. $180!!! Can see ZQ really fall-in-love with her costume coz she was reluctant to take it down.. and was even contemplating (very hard) whether she should spent that $$!! Luckily, we have Subki to our rescue. He introduced another Cleopatra set, which is much cheaper and much affordable.. Though it was not as perfect as the $180, but it was our 2nd best choice, so we decided to go with it.
Angel, Cleopatra, Princess Shrek, Queen
We also rented an angel’s wing for SL. Our image for her a lovely angel aka fairy-godmother aka fairy. Time was running out by the time we rented our costumes … it was then abt 6pm++ and we still need to go to my place, to get my pink dress for SL, to get my shoes, make-up kit…etc I have not even wear my pink dress before! Bought it many years back.. but cannot really wear.. was waiting for my figure to be better! (but never really happened leh!!!) =p Bought it coz it was pretty.. like an angel.. so matches SL’s angel image, that is why I am willing to 割爱！
Our year-end party D&D was organized at Gotham Penthouse in Clarke Quay… and it happened I got a copy of Her World magazine (Dec 2007), it featured Gotham Penthouse as the only club that offers Chippendalestyle dance shows, where male dancers pare down to their G-strings and women attending hen parties often get carried away. Oh well, after the company party, we stayed back after that, chill up, dance, chionging and watched the male-striptease performance by Odessy. But I will say… the striptease show is ’so-so’. Not v impressive.. neither it was turned on.. at least I was not… haha =p *blush*
Ok back to our party… The catering food was quite good, Gotham Penthouse place and space was quite nice, comfortable and with a stage. The DJ, Kevin O’Hara, is very witty, fun, full-of-energy.. and brought the party to many HIGH levels.. And you know what.. later then I realized he added me in Friendster sometimes back.. was in my Friendster’s list!! Haha I never knew.. was not able to recognize him then! World is indeed small!! =p
What I fully enjoyed was the performance by the management.. A competition between 2 groups (Kinkies and Funkies).. Very sporting and fun pple… esp with the barang barang like toiletbowl brush (as the mic), the broom & mop (as guitars), the feather dustor (as drum sticks)…. etc haha =)
The Kinkies – The champion!
The Kinkies can win, much credit to the singer!! Very sporting, brought lots of laughter and smiles to everyone!! Kinkies’s name was suggested by me, from the floor! haha =p
I was also narrowed to go up on stage to play a game.. but didn’t really do anything except to sit on the chair and await for the male contestants to do some dancing with me – pole dancing, striptease..
Princess waiting for his prince to come. Only that the princes on stage that nite was not her ideal! Opps =p
Was trying to molest my ‘male’ contestant while he was dancing ..Haha
Not bad huh? Just sit there, enjoyed the dance, and can touch the guys openly on the stage… =p … and can win a pair of movie ticket. I asked ZQ to give to Subki when she returned our costumes to thanx him for his wonderful help!
And the moment we are waiting for …. Best Dressed Costume.. This year we have more sporting people, dressing up.. U know lar.. engineers mostly will just come in their jeans and Tshirt.. Got come –> good already! haha And we got 7 outstanding best costume nominees for the Male competition. I personally like the Rome warrior.. very macho.. but of course.. the ‘female’ dressed guy also brought lots of laughter and fun to us!
The Best Dressed Costume Male Contestants
And since this is a voting competition with everyone has 2 light sticks to be placed into the buckets of their favourite best dressed costume. One for the male and one for the female. And yes, the results is sometimes depend which department has the most attendees or representative (coz normally u will vote for ur own department representatives). I was glad that this year, we won Best Female Dressed Costume!! Actually not really coz we have more people attending, in fact, this year, we have lesser people attending the party. Thanx to those people who voted for us… whoever u are. Thank you! Later after the party, a colleague from Munich, who was on a biz trip to Sg and happened to be lucky in time to attend this party, came over to take foto with me, saying, “Can I take a photo with you? I voted for you just now.. ” sweet! haha
The Best Dressed Costume Female Contestants
Votes are given to ZQ and me.. but prior beforehand, we have decided that we will share the prize! At first we thought if it is $250 cash, we can get back our $$ for the costume rental, and the rest for car petrol, parking fees and a feast!! but alas, it was $250 Capital Mall voucher.. but better than nothing!! =D And we told our department to try to concentrate on either one of us.. otherwise split votes will meant that we may lose out to other contestants.. One very strong contestant – the Marilyn Moonroe, whose department people are the largest group!
And Yes, we won!! Prizes was then shared with ZQ, Jesl, Sophi (for her ticket) and Deric (gave him the vouchers coz he gave me his krisflyer pts earlier this year (I managed to go to friend’s bro’s wedding in Medan then) and he was willing to share his pts again this time before they expired.. Thus i maybe able to go Japan next year!) Yuhuuu!! So I shared my prize with him, asked him to buy gift for his 2 adorable sons and lovely wife as Christmas Presents. Hope everyone is happy!
The Female and Male Best Dressed Costume winners with our big boss =)
Yes YESS YEEESSSS!!!!! Congrats to ZQ and me! Why 2?? Haha there was a hick-up.. Later on, my secretary told me by right it should be me.. as she stated the 4th bucket had the most no. of sticks.. And by right, I was the 4th contestants.. so not sure why in the end, they mistook ZQ as the 4th contestant.. and announced it was ZQ who won! haha but I think perhaps God arranged it such way.. coz it was US (ZQ and ME) who won!! Yes, we borrowed costumes together, we shared the prize, I was the winner and ZQ was the winner and managed to take foto with our boss on the stage.. I have taken fotos with him and his wife in the party already! haha

Congrats to my dear Angel, YF, for his blessed marriage with his wife
Captured during their first walk-in - I like it this pic （on how YF was looking at Miche） – very sweet！！
They have been dating since 1998… long 9 years .. I am touched and impressed. YF is always the gentleman-bf with lots of suprise and romantic plans for his beloved.. He is one of the best-idea colleagues as well.. and one of my ’darling’ ！ =D A real nice chap!
I still remembered him being my secret angel in one of our company’s Christmas game. An angel was secretly and randomly assigned to a ordinary-folk (凡人）. The angel was supposed to buy a gift for his 凡人 and secretly showered love and care via the messengers. He was my 天使 then.
Forced to wear this Angel attire – my dear angel
I was showered with lots of surprise like curry puffs, jellies .. on my table.. Once I bumped him exiting from my cubicle, and later I found jellies on my table (so sweet!).. I ‘confronted’ him, claiming he was my angel. He furiously denied then…. haha .. and even went to the extend of sending me an email from a secret mail address, stating.. “Hi, I was very sad that you mistook me (ur angel) with YF, coz it is not!!” hahaaa… And lastly, he granted my wish as well and really bought me a swarosvki necklace for me.. selected by him and his wife (gf then..)!! Thank you thank you *muack*
Also got a chance to visit the Neuschwanstein castle (The beautiful Swan castle in Germany) with this couple.. in May this year..
This post dedicated to the groom and bride. May their marriage be blessed with lots of happiness, experiences, laughters, children and many good stuffs!! =D
祝百年好合，永结同心，早生贵子。
YF was drunk high already at the end. He was pushing my head down to make me shorter than him! haha =D
