It was a quiet Christmas

Christmas was a quiet affair with me spending it mostly at home with my TV and sock monkeys. The Christmas project of making it as gifts fell flat as I did not have enough time and enough socks to get it all done on time. Ok, so I left it a little late but at least I managed to finish 3 and a half : )
Had Christmas/family get-together dinner at Uncle Kong Cheng's as the family from Singapore was down for Sue May's wedding on 26th. Never meet them before but that's not new as I barely know most of the relatives from my dad's side.

When Saturday came, it was busy busy busy. Woke up at 6am in order to get to SS2 on time to prepare for the morning session. No pictures as I was busy organising and making sure everything went well. Damn lucky I got loads of help from the other chee mui's. Thank you Irene, Pooi Pooi, Siew Li and Li Lian. Got my mum to be the tai kam chair during the tea ceremony and by 10.30am, the bride and groom was off to the groom's house. Phew...

Had a short session in 1Utama with the family for lunch and to look for shoes. Then it was hme for a 30 min nap then off again to Sheraton Imperial in KL to get all the things ready for dinner.
It was raining so heavily when I left home to the extent the main road in Puchong leading from Sunway was badly flooded in front of Binary College. The busy bodies of course had to slow down and look causing another jam on the opp side of the road. Managed to get to the hotel by 5pm. Had a little problem with the seating arrangements and place card settings and people started showing up early. A first for a chinese wedding I must say...

The bride Sue May and groom Haan YongShe had fantastic flower arrangements. Most of the family took keepsakes home. 2 table deco's now sit on my speakers at home adding a touch of color to my otherwise dready home.

Flowers for the table and apples as keepsakes for the family.

Dinner shoes and her bouquet.

The wedding was no typical chinese wedding which was good as there was less fanfare and less noise : ) Everyone went home happily by 12am. I couldn't find my way back from the hotel to Sg Besi highway so had to take Jln Kuching. It was like a drive down memory lane : ) That's another story to tell...

It's 2 days to Christmas and 8 days to a new year!

I knew I would not be able to update my blog constantly but never knew months would have passed since my last entry.

It's 2 days to Christmas!! Snow would complete the feel but guess we'll just have to make do with Christmas Carols, present exchange and get togethers : ) Now, I just need to finish my Christmas shopping. Think I am in trouble in that area...

So what has been happening the past few months. All I can remember right now is our annual dinner themed 'Back to School' on 16th Dec.

My work table is still a mess. Think it has gotten worse as the days move along. To pen in a spring cleaning session in 2010.

Can't wait for 4pm today as we will be having our present and foody exchange with the other departments. I had a tough time looking for my present. Why? Coz I was lazy to go shopping ;Þ Shopping malls are crowded to max capacity with peole who are doing their last minute shopping as well as just to kill time. Wish I had more time to want to kill time ;oÞ

Wish 2010 is a greater and better year for me and everyone in the world. Got so many plans sitting at the edge of my conciousness, just haven't had the time to grap hold of them and make the realities. 2010. 2010. That's the year I am going to make my dreams come true. Hope I remember this next month. hahahha...

Oh yeah, I made a Monkey for Christmas. Here is the unfinished version. He now sits proudly on my Hi-Fi set with a tail and a bow just waiting for someone to pick him up and love him. What should we call him? Port Belly? Big Willy?

Japanese! Japanese! The Mktg, Branding and Creative team plus Carat and PosterScope had a get together at Jogoya Starhill last night. I had so much sashimi and am swearing off it to the year ;Þ The food was not a good as I tot it would be looking at the price but overall, it was not too bad as the choices were varied and extensive.

Oh yeah. I got the i phone 3GS 32GB!!! Got it from Taiwan as I didn't want to get tied down to a long term plan with Maxis. Their data plans suck. DIGI is now offering unlimited for RM 48 while Celcom is RM 68 unlimited. 5 mths pls pass fast so that I can change my service provider... The battery power sucks, it has hung twice on me, I can't seem to MMS using this phone and it is constantly logged on to the net. So be careful when you play any of the free games downloaded from i tunes. It automatically downloads banner ads and for the 1st week, my bill was already RM 51 for data! SMSing is hard as the touch pad is so small for my fatty fingers and don't even try it when u are driving. It's an accident waiting to happen.

But overall, the games are cool, the camera is good and the sound, fantastic.

See ya in 2010!!
