鼓動

GLAY's latest single 鼓動 (beat). It's the theme song for the Japanese movie "大帝の剣" (Emperor's sword). From the video, the movie seems interesting but weird. I like the style & chorus of this song. How I wish I can watch their concert again in Japan.....

My 28th Birthday

Celebrated my birthday with my 2 good friends & family at home yesterday. We had a mini feast of the food we used to eat in Europe --cheese, bread & ham. But this time round there's nice yummy salad and creamy mushroom soup too.



Birthday must have cake, right? My dear sister bought me yummy cheesecake (yes, i've a weakness for cheesecake *drool*) with cute wordings. I love pigs, so she calls me "oink oink".

My sister, knowing that I want to buy sneakers, gave me World of Sports vouchers to buy shoes + many other stuff. And my jie-meis gave me a very cute pig watch & pouch. Sisters are the best!!

Rest of the evening was spent "kay-poh" people's profile in Friendster, watching Ayumi Hamasaki's MTV & Glay's Expo 2004 concert. We also flipped through the many bridal magazines I have at home to find our dream gown. I love to spend time like this at home with friends. Feels more cozy & relaxed....

What about my bf? I called him in the evening and put him on speaker-phone so that my friends can hear him too. With my friends listening on & taking a video of me smiling at the phone, he sang the birthday song to me. He admitted he's yet to buy my birthday gift. We decided that he'll pass it to me in August in Japan coz no point post to me in S'pore and I end up bringing it back to Japan next year!

28 years old liao.... but i still feel young...all thanks to Ahke? hehehe...

Food Lovers

The other day, my bf & I were talking about our wedding dinner. We liked the idea of buffet dinner coz guests can eat what they like & as much as they like. Sets a more relaxing mood too. Then this thought came in "What about us? Got time to eat buffet too?" The menu looks good leh. Bf said probably all our photos will show me being alone coz he's busy eating elsewhere, or his mouth will be full & hands holding a plate with a mountain of food. Then we thought of getting my sister to dabao food for us....
Think we're crazy....

Bridal Shop shopping

Preparing for marriage is quite a headache, considering the amount & type of shopping one has to do. First was the banquet venue. I went to 6 - 7 hotels to view & discuss before settling on Oriental Singapore. Even after signing the contract, I still went there another 2 - 3 times to view the wedding set-up.

Think I'll go for a casual, cheerful flower theme instead of a classy theme. My bf & I don't really fit into a classy atmosphere. Come to think of it, we met at an Expo on nature/saving earth, so we should go for earthy themes, right? Hmm...maybe i should borrow the Expo mascot from my friends for wedding decop....better still, put miniture Merlions there since i was working at the S'pore pavilion then! hahaha!

Since Feb, I've visited 7 bridal shops & tried on more than 10 wedding gowns. And spent hours reading comments in forums. Finally settled on a shop i like & will be going for 2nd negotiation this Sat. It's actually quite fun to go to BS. I experienced the pushy sales persons and the blur, bochap ones. Some gowns are so ugly i wonder why it's been made in the first place.

I had fun trying the gowns. I couldn't zip up many gowns on my own and had some near miss tripping & falling on the gown. Some gowns i tried were so puffy & heavy i wonder how to walk gracefully down the aisle. My bf's not very tall so I can't wear very high heels. One sales guy from the BS told me to ignore my bf & wear nice high heels coz I'm the star of the day! hahaha...must get bf to eat more long beans and play more basketball to see if can extend height at this age! If not, too bad for him! hahahahaha

School holidays?

Can't believe my 5 weeks of holidays is ending in less than 2 weeks' time!! I spent my holidays working at my dad's company so there really isn't any break for me. Looking forward to my 1-wk break next week!

I'm not too busy at work, so started planning for my summer holidays. Hehehe...1 holiday not over start planning for the next liao. I'm going to Japan in August!! "What's new?" as one might ask, considering how often i go all the way there to visit my bf. But this time round's different. I'm going on a solo holiday trip there! So excited!! I plan to cover Kanto & Tohoku region which includes Tokyo, Hakone, Yokohama, Sendai, Iwate, Aomori. As it's during summer, I'll get to see some summer festivals there. I spent 2 weeks planning the route, getting train/bus timetables, seaching for accomodation. Feels as if I'm flying off tomorrow! But won't forget about my bf lah...will visit him after i've had my 2 wks of fun. We'll probably register our marriage in August too. Counting down to August.....
