Went over for our reunion dinner round I yest !!! Ah bu cooked soooooooooooo sumptous dinner and it was an early gathering hee~

.

Mum also came in the afternoon to help spring clean hee and we just came back from the in law's place!! First time, something different, first time experiencing a big family reunion dinner... good and heartwarming feeling dinning with the family =) they played mahjong while i roamed ard the house~ ate alot also!!! but my craving for the cheesecake in the fridge is still irresistable gulpz~

.

enjoying the festive holiday rest~ happie~ back to my hk drama =) tataZ

.

Hee actually i also dunnoe wat to blog... just tot it has been a while since i pop by... to say hi =)

Life is good... still adjusting & balancing... but alrighty hee~ cny is coming, happie tt i can rest... but 24hrs is tooooooooo little!!! i still need more time!!! roarRRRRRRRR~

btw did i tell u tt i went shopping todae and its a one-of-the-best-retail-therapy!!! total damage = 2 dresses (one for work, one for cny) one blouse (for work) one 3/4 pants (casual wear) and a pair of lovely heels (for work)! All for.... $187!!! but i think we are helping to speed up the recovery for S'pore economy... by increasing consumption so thr the multiplier effect... ... ...

Hohoho me and colleagues spent like >3 hrs there... and u noe Tangs is not a place tt we (or rather me!!!) will frequent coz a simple top on the rack can easily cost like 80 bucks while a so-so dress can burnt away like 150$ away from u... haha they are almost all on sale lo... 50%-70% off loh... my goodness i think i went into the fitting room like 5x with at least 4 items on hand each time muahaha~

yeah it feels really good and cures my deprived and delayed gratification of shopping since last oct!!! but then again i wished there are more working clothes... mum says my dressing nowdays super cmi... booo (the old clothes look so rugged... but i love them lo) ~ yeah i want to revamp my wardrobe!!!

*awaiting for the next buying spree*

disclaimer: i am not a shopaholic ( i am a thrifty wife :D )

tots of the week...

As the week crawls by... i slowly discover my new year resolutions :

1) count my blessings
2) manage time effectively
3) stress management

somehow... even though its only the 4th day into beginning of the term, i am already very tensed up, keep thinking of my tutorials and lectures... though i tried to do finish my things in school and get home to rest, back at home, my mind is full of work. =( and its not right... deep inside i seem stressed up but i dont know why (maybe its just the emo me again)... and its only january...

When i get home, i get so tensed up with the slightest dirt i see and i seemed obsessed with cleanliness... i think i need to find back my sanity and lower my expectations??? yes, balance betw work (sch & home) - life (mine, his and ours) - balance.

no more late nights, no more regular enjoyment of Gem-of-life, its all about getting up at 5.30am and will my alarm clock ring? i need to conduct a good lesson. must be good, must read widely and up-to-date (not like 2 years ago, so inexpr). what to eat for breakfast tmr and dinner how - cook or buy? any expired food? if i eat this will i get too heaty? or is this the right way to do this thing??? when to wash clothes and what if it rains? have i thrown the rubbish and did i switch off the heater... bit by bit these little things r eating up onto my nerves!!! and its freaking me out =(

i think i need alot of time to adjust to sch. to living together. to be independent. to learn to let go. to go back to the old me. not possible i think...

it all feels so different... so apprenhensive... so helpless...

Ending 2008, welcoming 2009

Its a brand new year!!! Cheers!

What a fast 2008, can still remember how we started preparing for the BIG day and now, I am a one month two days old Mrs Ang!

Mr & Mrs Bear wish everyone and family a blessed 2009 and great year ahead! :)

.

Lots tots... lots reflection... lots new year resolutions... hope i can pen them down before the school term starts... everything still seems like a whirlpool since nov... birthdays (overwhelming love from everyone), wedding (the perfect moment), honeymoon (retreat to the untouched beauty of the world), parties (Xmas, new year), getting use to staying with my significant other...

.

I have not yet really settle down and get ready for work!! Guess the ultimate challenge is to balance personal time + school + hubby quality time + housework + family quality time + frenz in 2009 ba... dun dare to think, just be positive!
.

Anyway, the MF gang came over for another round of merrymaking last nite.. at one corner, its the monopolist wannabes and...

at the other corner are the Wii challengers...

and guess what! We dawned!!! Why do we do such foolish things @ this age??? coz there are ple who can play frm 12-5+ am and still so miraculously fresh...

while the knocked outs woke at 5am to continue their wii (like zombies haha)... =O

The last time i dawned was supporting my bestest frenz ah huiz huiz, ah min & wei wei for the Sundown Marathon in June! its really... exhausting... we are no longer the 18s/20s anymore...

I love saying this phrase: We had our last supper of 2008 and started our first breakfast of 2009 together in MacDonalds!

Rem we had our new year celebration in 2004/2005 in East Coast also?! It was so memorable coz it was a blast! The turn up rate was good and bonding was invaluable. Our last bbq of the year and first breakfast together in MacDonalds too! This time round, another new member, Mr Bear!

Time to clear the nz album and ah bu is coming!! buaiz~ have a good sleep and rest guys!
