We bot our 1st digital camera last sun @ Funan Harvey Norman! Fujifilm FinePix F40fd. Slim wif nice curves, which immediately cot my eye. Cost us $460, bundled wif a 1GB SD card & a pouch =) Several nice functions, including taking fireworks! We get to experiment wif dis function yesterdae evening @ Plaza Singapura... After parking our car, we heard 'bong bong!' & guess wat, we saw fireworks in the sky from the carpark! It was NDP Rehearsal yesterdae n we were realli lucky to get 2c the fireworks... the shots of the fireworks were nt bad, but nid to hv real 'steady' hands to take the pics...
@ least we noe whr we can view fireworks during the NDP dis year! =) My mum is very lucky to get the tics n my younger sis n bro wil b going to watch... my sis, especially, was v excited!
Yesterdae afternoon, we oso went to Fort Canning Park n ROM, not to renew our vows, but to try out our new camera. Check out some of the shots we took:
Took the nice pretty flowers, oso tried to take pics of the butterflies fluttering among the flowers as well as 1 tree lizard camouflaged wif the bark of a tree... but we were too slow, b4 Dearie was able to aim, they either fluttered or scurried off... too bad...
Dearie oso tried to experiment wif a before & after effect of the bench... heehee!
Din get to take pics on dis ROM swing 2 years ago, so decided to take dis time round, albeit a bit late.. haha!
No idea y but yesterdae, my eyelids kip twitching... so weird n kinda irritating cos in the midst of doing something, eyelid jus start to twitch...
1st it was my right eyelid, then followed by my left eyelid... whole dae was spent wif my eyelid twitching in between work...
1 collig said could b cos me din hv enuff sleep the previous nite... 1 said ear itching is cos someone misses u, sneezing often is cos someone scolds u, but he cant remember wat eyelid twitching means...
oh well... luckily both my eyelids din twitch tdy... hee...
Received 2 belated wedding anniversary wishes today from our matchmaker, Jieying and wedding videographer, Christopher from HiLo Productions!
So surprised that both of them still remember the date! Thanks!
Touched by Jieying's efforts to comfort me for my past months' sadness n her inability 2b there for me... though we onli chatted for a while on msn, it realli meant alot to me! =) Her msn pic is a nice beautiful rainbow, which she used to comfort n encourage me... on our way home from work, Dearie n me oso saw a rainbow, but no chance to take from the car cos the traffic lite was green by the time me realised the rainbow! Jus received a mms from Jieying wif a rainbow pic. 3 rainbows in a day! Touched! *sob sob* Dearie can onli hug n try to comfort me again...
Since our wedding last year, we have seen Christopher twice... oso during our frenz' weddings! His works n professionalism realli spread far n wide! Not expensive either... Interested frenz can get his contact from me... heheh!
How time flies! It has been a year since we held our customary wedding on 10 Jun 06! =) Still remember clearly how I was treated like a princess by my make-up artiste, Ruth, and jiemeis! =) Wearing a tiara on my head with the white wedding gown, waiting in the bedroom for Dearie & his bros to get through the many obstacles @ my doorstep… actually we re-watched our wedding video the other dae n oh my! Jus brot wonderful memories back again! =) All in all, wedding & marriage have been a very wonderful experience for both of us!
This year, after Dearie finished his course-work, we went shopping @ Suntec City & Marina Square, followed by a nice dinner @ Billy Bombers @ Marina Square, “Shrek 3” @ Suntec, then Changi Village nasi lemak for supper over “Friends” on our red sofa @ home… We oso had dinner @ Billy Bombers @ Marina Square last year during our wedding dinner for frenz on 16 Jun 06… not really reliving the experience, but jus felt like having the nice, thick chocolate milkshake we haven’t had for a long long time…
Forgot to mention me got a new haircut too, a dae before my bdae! Asked my hairstylist for opinions of having a shorter bob… hv been having reservations of cutting my hair after having kept it long for so long… but my ends become very dry and wif the split ends, feel compelled to cut it short, but worried about my face roundness becoming more obvious… oso worried about the thickness of my hair becoming a hindrance wif the short bob… but luckily, my hairstylist noes wat to do… now, me feel so much lighter and fresher wif the new haircut! =)
Thanks to all my frenz who remembered my bdae dis yr and sent me bdae smses! =)
Forgetful me 4got to bring my handphone home over the weekend n left it in office... my colligs who worked late on fri mus hv found it strange to hear a baby's cry (my sms tone) n pooh bear song (my ringing tone) when the phone rang on fri... tried to get my phone on sat but the high security in my office prevented me from getting in... even the security guards @ the lobby oso had no key access... alas, no phone over the weekend n bdae...
Dearie booked a 'surprise' hotel stay for me to celebrate my bdae... 1 year older again... sighz... we stayed @ the Scarlet Boutique Hotel near Maxwell Food Centre... itz a veri classy hotel, despite itz limited space... the room we had was very cosy, n the roof was shaped sloping down... the staff were very frenly too... we had dines @ Desire, a restaurant @ level one... deco is realli nice (black n red theme and sensuous) n staff had superb service attitude... the manager walked around, introducing the restaurant's specialty to us n asking our opinions of the food... coincidentally, there was a review in the Sunday Times on my bdae on the Desire too! Good place to go for nice ambience & food (thou quite ex - our meal costs $150)
Have a feeling that MediaCorp may use Desire as a venue for future shows... =P
