Thanks for all your valuable input advising me on which photo to use, haha.. Thank you Thank you :)

i actually used number 2 for the first few ones i sent out cos i think i want to look approachable and nice.. but after heeding most advice, i changed to number 3 instead, haha.
Jayen also opted for number 3 as he feels that i shouldn't look too nice cos later they will bully me one :(

Must act abit. sigh...
how to act? i'm naturally very nice one leh, wahahha~ sorry ar, i know i go one big round to self-praise, heh..
But seems like in the real world, when you are too nice, people take advantage of you :(
whyyyyyy..........

yay. Tomorrow is the last day of 2010 le. Wah, that's very fast. Maybe i should do a post* to reminisce the significant things that happened in this one year before welcoming 2011 :)

*provided i got the time to, haha
This afternoon, jayen and i went to HDB for our appointment to sign the lease, together with his parents, hehe

His parents will be staying in a studio apartment which would be connected to our 4-room loft unit in the future, yay! :) Like this, we can take care of them and at the same time, have our own personal space too :)
Love the new Multi-Generation Living Scheme by HDB!! It's the best of both worlds :)
The flat would take 3-4 years to reach its completion date though....

9 months ago, we were here to select our units.
Photobucket
Now, it's time to pay the 5% deposit, heh...
we have waited soooooo long!
Jayen was very, very happy and touched (after all the obstacles we have overcome) that we can finally have the chance to sign the lease. He was all teary during dinner yesterday. i wasnt kidding! haha!

At the service counter..
Photobucket
After signing the agreement form, must kiss ♥
Photobucket
haha!! like married like tat -_-
see i so 投入, haha!

The deposit for his parent's unit must be paid in cash. I've never seen so many pieces of $1000 notes in my life before, heh
Photobucket
dont bother to rob me. All these are paid to the HDB, go rob them instead haha

Lastly, happy 3 years 9 months to us, wahaha~
Hope everything goes better for us now =)

I have been procrastinating for the longest time in taking a proper photo for my resume.

I dont know how long my job-hunting would take me, but if i do not start now, it would definitely get longer -_-
Sending out my first resume this afternoon took me alot of guts (and time to press the "Send" button)
I know, i know... i'm such a scaredy cat :(

Yesterday, i asked daddy to help me take a passport size photo, heee..
Photobucket
My blazer and blouse doesnt match.. but whatever, haha.. and also, i'm wearing my cotton-on shorts below :p

Dad was so professional, heh.. He fixed the light, took out the reflector and tripod.
But i asked him too late when the day almost drew to a close, so there was not enough daylight to take nice photos :(
Photobucket
He used our lamp.. but it wasnt bright enough also :(
Photobucket

Still,
these are some of the photos we chose from the lot...
Photobucket
Professional enough not?
I wanted to use a slightly-to-the side profile (#1 and 3), but i look so FATTY face! :( that i decided on the frontal view instead.

what do you think? Which photo should i use????
Should the ears be shown in my resume photo? Or it doesnt really matter??

Anyway, i heard from a friend (who happens to be in the HR) that some girls use their Neoprints (大头贴) in their resumes, haha


Maybe i should.
Photobucket
heh.. kidding. Wish me luck in my job-searching! :p

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL

Christmas is for you! Yes, YOU!
It's God's gift to all humankind :)
"For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace."
Isaiah 9:6


I love Christmas :) It is a time of giving, sharing love, joy and hope! I'm truly grateful that Christmas has a significant meaning in my life. You can, too :)
In a nutshell, Christ-m-a-s means "with CHRIST, Man Are Saved".
hehe :)

Celebrated Christmas eve with jayen yesterday. We didn't really plan to go or do something special, but just the usual kind of dates we always had.
Went shopping at Bugis, Popular at BrasBasah (haha) and walked past Jack's Place. Decided to go in for their Christmas eve set-meal since it is a special day. Must pamper ourselves for a nice meal to celebrate our savior's birth! haha... Yay!!

Thank you baby for this pretty bangle! ♥
Combined powers of our Christmas presents for each other...
Photobucket
YAY!
I made a mini angel pop-up card for Jayen, and he thought i bought it, haha
When he opened the card, he was like, "Aey? wah, thank you!" and then closed it!! I had to tell him to open it again to look at it for a longer time cos i painstakingly made it lor! How can see 2 seconds only? heh...
Photobucket

Bought this from DAISO yesterday.

After my "Cake", "Donuts" and "Sushi" masterpieces, it's high time for something new (and not so tedious!) heh..

The instructions inside were so clear! hehe
Photobucket
This is crazy.. Mad difficult to pull the thread to secure cotton and paper inside while trying to tie a knot!

The second place after KL was Bukit Tinggi, also known as 法国村 (French Village).
Photobucket
Photobucket
Photobucket
Photobucket
I think this existed very long ago (my aunt was telling everybody that she was here 10 years ago, hehe.. and can see she loves this place super alot, haha)
The two sides of this stretch of road are erected with quaint buildings (French style? i dont know). They're supposed to make you feel like you're in France or something, haha.. but hor, i dont have that fewling lehh
maybe cos there were alot of.... ..... erm, never mind

The checking-in was horribly long!!!!! Guess what time we were allowed to go into our hotel rooms?
7pm!!! 7 freaking PM! :(
Photobucket
Photobucket
wait and wait..
Photobucket
and wait..
Photobucket
we decided to rent another wheelchair for grandma and took the time to walk around first :)
Photobucket
Love group photo :)
Photobucket

The only thing i liked about this place is...
Photobucket
the cooling weather up here, haha
The clouds are so near. But not as near as when u're on Cameron Highlands.

Saw this game stall where you can 'catch' rubber duckies that each has a number below its rubber body. 0 means you dont win any prize. 1 means can get a small prize, 2 = medium prize and 3 wins you a (VERY) large soft toy.
Photobucket
One girl there managed to hook a rubber duckie up! All of us applauded for her, but when the man in-charge said she didn't win any prize (cos the number below the duck says 0), we uttered a sound of disappointment in unison, haha!
We were thinking, must be all the ducks there are 0 lor!
Think the man was scared that his business would be affected, so he quickly showed us that there are actually ducks in there with the number "3"..
but still, hmmmm
Photobucket
dad caught all of us being kaypo and looking skeptical! Wahaha~

This is the EXTREMELY GIGANTIC prize, haha! A bear that is bigger than me, hur hur hur...
Photobucket
Aunt also asked kaya to pose with the bear, but instead, this was what she gave us!!
Photobucket
haha! obscene!

Dad was helping grandaunt take a photo when she suddenly struck out this pose! haha
Photobucket
This pose made her look younger by 10 years haha! so we all also tried to pose the same way, keke
Photobucket
My parents too look younger by 10 years!! ahaha
Photobucket
and uncle came up with this!
Photobucket
classic 'gone with the wind' pose, haha! darn funny!

Next was Bailin with grandma! Grandma looks so happy here, hehe!

Photobucket
wahahha! She looks like she's cleaning the donkey with the tissue!.. and when we went over and asked her what on earth she was doing, she said she wanted very much to touch it but was afraid her hands would get dirty, so she holds a tissue in between -_-

The gardener came over with a sack of greens and passed it to us. He said we could feed the donkeys and deers! Woohoo~

Hello reindeer!
Photobucket
The spotted deers are soooo adorable!
Photobucket
Bambi i love Bambi!

We did not have enough time to visit the Japanese Tea Garden cos we had to check out at 12pm :( and the shuttle bus service sucks :( They only come at half an hour intervals.. plus u have to take the shuttle back to the hotel first before you can wait for another one to bring you to the tea garden :(

So we ended up playing in the arcade to pass time
Photobucket
cousins had a game of basketball, hehe
Photobucket

At around 12.15pm, we took the coach back to Times Square for yet another coach to bring us back to Singapore. Our driver was really nice, he brought us to have our lunch at a Hainanese Chicken rice stall which he said sells very tasty chicken rice.
Photobucket
Photobucket
We had some time left at Times Square which we did some last minute shopping
