My diary

Working in Singapore is now very common among my friends. We had reunion in Singapore with a few close friends. I wish I have time to meet the others but the list is going too long.

My first time watching 3D film was fantastic ! I felt like the cold sea water was splashing on me, lion and dragon looked real and I could touch the handsome Prince Caspian!

In the end, I wear neither the white nor red dress bought by mil because Charles said they are ugly. The function was unexpectedly boring. Dishes were not as yummy as in Sibu's. Pretty girls are not that many in his company. =p But we had taken a great machine photo together.

I supposed to make Nyonya's Soon-kuih at Zing Zing's place but canceled our appointment because have to go all the way to the airport with mil to settle Charles's CNY tickets when his leave has been disapproved. My mil is the best mom because she is always the problems solver in the family.

After visiting her very sick good friend, we went for yummy Laksa at Aloha corner. She insisted to go shopping with me when knowing Charles and I will be attending his company annual dinner in Singapore this Saturday. I don't have such plan because she had given me an expensive, red fairy gown before this. She then brought me to her familiar boutiques. She liked every dress that I put on in fitting room and told the taugenio that she was my size before she got married :p

I felt myself like a barbie doll , being dressed up with all the best clothes in the boutiques. Their eagerness had caused me buying the most costly clothes ever in my life! This is often my bad habit. I was so sure I would definitely lost in payment-battle again. It's so shameful she has to pay for me every time. But this is very common in Toh's family.

Next, she suggested that I should buy a Sarawak culture mask for our Masquerade Party! She hopes I will win in the most creative mask-design competition with something like this....

Another new recipe today!

On a sunny afternoon, I went hiking with Anna and Evonne at Kemuyang. The trails were not very difficult as I thought. It took us only one hour and 20 minutes to the finishing.

Just landed after a tiring one day trip to Kuching to take my gowns with mil. Here are some final list of gowns. Guess which of these I pick?

I am moving to my new room today- larger bed, larger wardrobe, larger table but smaller room!

Present to you... the batik uniform of SMK Sacred Heart.

I had my passport renewed in preparation for honeymoon to Taiwan. After that went for afternoon tea with mil. In two hours, we have a long list of ang pows to be given out on wedding day. Charles is sure blessed to have a generous mom!

Today I confirmed my 5 tiers wedding cake with a very famous home-baker in Sibu, Marcus. Mil said 3 tiers are not enough for 550 guests.

I have also given up buying the Precious Moment ornament because really cannot afford. Instead, I bought a pair of red Chinese doll from supermarket as the wedding cake topper.

Marcus is not excellent in baking pretty cakes but he can bake tasty cakes. That's why Mil must buy from him. She is very particular in quality.

I had appointment with Kelvin, the wedding planner to inform my preferences. Kelvin will be helping me with anything to do with flowers because I am not satisfied with the 6 florists in Sibu that I have visited earlier.

I sensed that he wasn't as friendly as the last time when I paid my deposit. Anyway, I hope he will be putting in effort to make my flowers pretty because I don't want to regret with this VERY big investment.

I must drop a few words for the remaining 3 weeks to my big day so that when I look back, this is something memorable.

So what have I done today?

Charles's room has been cleared out. I wonder where his parents hide those old furniture. I am sure they don't throw away, as my parents have been doing the hiding too.

Our Diamond mattress with Comfort bed frame (4k) and wardrobe (about 2.5k) that we ordered 2 months ago arrived this afternoon. The promoter said we will sleep very well on the luxury bed, but according to Charles, he can sleep well even on the floor.

New curtains have been installed too. Mil brought me to pick curtains cloth but then insisted that I pick a brown, thick cloth so that I wont notice it's morning already. Oh, she meant I can sleep till noon. Forgot to tell her I wake up 5:30am every morning. In the end, I picked something she liked :)

I was having fever and headache. I took mc and absent from school. A caring student left me a message in FB: Teacher, rest peacefully...

Many big items have been taken care of. The dress has been ordered, as have the flowers, photography, and the cake. But there are a ton of details that need to be wrapped up. Things like figuring out the seating plan at the reception. Like picking out wedding gifts. And do not forget arranging someone to pick up friends at the airport.

How to overcome this stress?

Why is it so difficult for me to find my favourite shoes?




I hunted all shopping malls in Sibu monthly just to look for this kind of shoes but found none a little similar to those. Charles searched with me in Kuching recently but could not find too.

The photographer has emailed Charles and me, our edited wedding photos to check before printing. I showed them to mom to ask her to choose one she likes.

She commented our photos from head to toe. Smiles are not natural, my arms are big, gowns are not pretty, picked wrong gowns.... She said all are not beautiful and she has no choice.

Mom: Don't they have nicer gowns?
Me: A lot. I don't know which to choose.
Mom: The photographer is so unprofessional. He doesn't know how to edit photos.
Me: I'm too fat, after edit still fat.
Mom: I really don't like your hairdo, make your face so round.
Me: ...
Mom: 5k is gone.
Me: ...

If you ask 4A6 boys to list down the series of reactivity, it is almost impossible since they hardly read or write any words, what to say chemical terms!

Just ask them to tell you Peter's story and everybody will shout out(because proud) loud:

As usual when Principal passed by the classroom, the monkeys acted really, really good. They can answer whatever questions though they didn't listen at all!

Principal stopped in my class when he heard them shouted Potassium to Gold, wondering how those weakest students manage to say out chemical words. I saw him walked away with a smile.

And this morning, during the his another moody morning briefing, I was the example of "good teacher" to other 90 teachers in the staffroom. His motivational attack was painless to them as we have gotten used to it.

However, I want to remember this day when I can teach with smile!

I was playing editing with DreamLight Photo Editor software that Yan sent to me. Photos were taken by my makeup artist using my S90 on our pre-wedding photo shooting day.
