Our wedding day
Jun 22, 2015, Monday, June 22, 2015
Our Journey to prepare for wedding : Gown Fitting for wedding shoot at Enya Mareine 20th June 2015
I know that you will call me bridezilla if you know that i have done tons of research on the types of wedding gowns that i want.
I had crazily screenshots hundreds of photos on instagram and pinterest to my wedding coordinator to ensure they have the gowns that i want when i come for the first gown fitting for our photoshoot.
Shiwei said i am someone who has high expectations for everything! This cant be help because i am going to marry him once not twice right? And what occasion do we get to wear such beautiful gowns again? No, never! Thus, this explained my 100 % research of my gowns but not for shiwei as he felt that he need to match up to mine will do.
Also i heard from Jimmy that Malaysia bridal shop fashion sense is way off from Singapore. This build up on my anxiety and fear that Enya Mariene do not have the type of gowns that i want.
However, this was not the case! It was indeed a nice experience to be at Enya Mariene considering it is the most reputable bridal shop in Malaysia, I would even say this is even better than the bridal shop in Singapore. Why? The space was huge and i have the whole level to myself (Shiwei said this was my playground!) without sharing it with another person.
The place was huge with variety of gowns for me to choose from. I had tried a total of 13 gowns to choose out of 5 for our wedding shoot and they were quite patience with me but that was not the case for Shiwei though and this make me felt there service could be better if they have a coordinator who stay with us throughout the process.
The only part which i was unhappy about was Pamela who attended to us initially instead of Apple. Apple took over second half of the session, she was impatience to shiwei towards the end because he was picky but the colour that she match was rather not coordinative. To be frank, i wouldnt want him to look like a clown right?
Second, She kept saying no when we asked for other options of colour. Wouldnt it better if she could just find out and get back to us and when i asked we are suppose to wear casual for our wedding shoot and she said no again. This made me even more upset because we were told we were suppose to be when was attended by Fion.
In the end, we have to approach another coordinator to find out more. Oh wells , i just hope Pamela could stay through for our actual day fitting.
Anyway, let the beautiful gowns tell you how exhilarating it was for me to choose the gowns ! ;)

I dont know what to name this post leh~
Hello!I am back to write in this blog in Year 2015! Honestly, I've never thought of starting to write once again but somehow there is inner voice that i should start penning down my thoughts to see the transition of my mindset which changes over years.
Oh, first of all.. Yes, i'm engaged! We do come a long way together. Shiwei has never thought of giving up on me or to this relationship. He pushes me really hard to be a better thinking person, a better wife to be, a better elder sis to my sisters..
And We are getting married on 11th November 2015!! Yayyy! As usual being kiasu me, i like to plan early. It keep me excited to get things done, shop for cheap sale, get our wedding band together or just seeing shiwei's bargain his way with the salesperson to get the reasonable price for our actual day shoot.
Things i have learnt over the past few years.
1. Not to give fuck about things that are not significant to my life . E.g a friendship is no longer worth keeping despite knowing for a decade.
2. Be discipline -Still need to work on that like running for instance!
3.Not to let emotions to control my rational thoughts
4. Firm at work and not really care about how the colleagues think of me.
5. Keep learning!
6. Stay strong no matter what happens and not to be in self-pity state.
7. Have faith in God!
8. Improve on my memory with the techniques taught from books i have read.
9.Confrontation! it was a scary experience to confront, but it helped in my day to day issues which i have to deal with . Rather than gossips or trap in the mind fucking game, i rather choose to confront.
10. Be sincere to everyone.
11. Lastly, be brave.
I am still learning a lot from everyone actually.
Oh, how could i forgot the experience i had in NZ trip?!
It got to be the most unforgettable trip that I had so far. I got to know more about the different culture and this have to thank Gabriel for it. Somehow i believed he had triggered the part of me to change for better.
I still miss you, NZ.. will be back in Christchurch to BREATHE IN MORE FRESH AIR and take long walks to keep me more inspired.
Within that few months when i am back from New Zealand .
The study session with my uni friends were more fruitful than ever.
Billy, Yuting, Joanne Amber and Meichan who shared their experiences about them not being a loser. This kept me more motivated and positive.
And clearly i have more control about my life now .
And Dad, he still played a significant role in my life.
He told me to calm in all situation is to be selfless. Till now, i am trying hard to digest what he mean.
I have to thank God for these lovely angels who transformed themselves in form of friends and family to convey messages and make me to a stronger person!
I actually had a list of resolution for 2015 but lets leave it for the time being.. Its time for bed.
Good night tooodlelidoo!

Acceptance.
So my 1 month extended probation is coming to an end. Felt a huge sense of relief cause i am no longer uptight about this current position that i am given. finally, I've decided to come to term with myself that i might transfer out to other department which is not the best option. oh well,beggars cant be a chooser for my situation because the pay is comfortable for me to feed myself and pay for my school fee so i will just accept whatever position or department when the company want to transfer me to. I do not see the need to get upset or worried about it anymore which could be a good and bad thinking.Recently, I've picked up reading articles on Pulse which consists various topics like Entrepreneur, USA Today, The Economist and etc.
One of my favourite article will be " How to turn your fear into fuel". From the article, it mentioned how fear could become barrier, holding treps back from taking changes that can be pay off in a long run or it can be a motivating force which sharpen the senses and improving performance. There are three horsemen of fear will be loss, uncertainty and exposure to judgement. It also offers ways to transform fear to motivate us to grow and maximise our potential.
I think i will keep reading this article until it sank in my head to set an reminder whenever i fear of something.
Anyway, i had learn a few things for the past 1 month which it has NEVER occur to me before.
I have to anticipate for anything to happen or predicting the next or even think what the person will reply when you try to negotiate. This will help me to work smart or become a better person! I have been working hard but not smart. Second thing will definitely be getting my ass off and start to exercise. Despite all the nags from Shiwei, it didn't sink into my head until i overheard Dr Yuen's conversation with patient ;exercise definitely help a person to perform better at work or with studies.
Lo and behold, i'm going to get my first running shoes on Saturday!
God, please give me the discipline to start exercise and maintain it even though i hate running and would prefer to do yoga more than anything else.
ok, this is the longest entry I've typed this year.
Ciao!

Feeling Lousy.
There will be a point in time that u felt lousy about yourself, and this is the moment i am feeling it right now. I have just submitted my ACC203E soft copy to my group mate for submission tonight but i dont feel confident about the end result because i dont think i have a clear understanding of this module. What making me felt worse is when your group mates have tabulate out the account perfectly for you.Another thing, i felt really lousy is when my colleagues kept emphasizing to me that i need to work smart instead work hard.
I just need to be alert to think and predict the next step! I am just so angry with myself for making all those small mistakes that shouldnt be even happen.
Okay, enough of negative thoughts. I have to think of way to solve this problem.
Problem=Find solution
Cant understand Acc203? read through and have understanding and seek help from lecturer.
Cant remember to take you stuff? Look and glance the place before u leave.
Cant think of what is happening next? Just think forward.
I need to be focus! focus!

Learning is a never ending journey.
Hola! I have completed my law assignment. It was a painstaking process of applying law term to the case study, hoping hard that we will not deviate from what we supposed to write. There is one more stats assignment for me to complete by today,this can be done later in the evening.However, i do enjoy this process of self-learning. It makes me gain knowledge and experience from my law lecturer and how we could apply in our daily lives!
I was doing online shopping at ASOS and paid for this Ted Baker bag , nice isnt it?! couldn't wait for it come but i have to think of what excuses to give when it reaches my doorstep! I am pretty sure Mum and sis will start to nag again! There is this rocking horse which i am fancy too, but its definitely costing way too much and i personally think it do not worth the price which was stated.
Mum told me to take a short break before continue to do my assignment. Decided to listen to her and went out with them; we had our early dinner at Ayam Penyet Ria and personally prefer the one at level 4 instead. After which, we went to Takashimaya and i got a cardigan from Mango ; cardigan actually turned out to be $29. We ended the night by enjoying chocolate drinks at TCC ;listened to oldies love song. Akira was givings advice to me that we should get BTO if Shiwei and i are thinking of getting married. All i can say, Akira and Sis are very lucky to get the BTO in Ang Mo Kio which is a few bus stops away from our house. God must be blessing them well! I was glad it was a happy and family-time Sunday ! Let the pictures do the talking over the week.

New Beginning.
It is not really a new beginning, actually. I think my new life has started ever since mid of July. The week which i resigned from my previous work place. I was so close to Bonus! But, i have never regret leaving the place. I was sincerely praying to God that this is the risk i am taking, please bless all the good things to come my way. I am always waiting for the perfect moment to jump, things dont often come at the timing you want. You just have to make a choice to go Or not to go.So right now, it was a new job at Paragon. The pay was pretty...lucrative for my age which i am quite satisfied.job scope wise isnt that stressful so it gives me time to focus on my studies.Yup, Uni has started at the same time. Hah! just imagine the changes i had made at one go! Even though, its quite tough to juggle with work and studies but i am happy. I dont grumble as much as i was back in Ktph.
At this moment, i just wish i had a bit more of time to go for a shopping trip ;for relaxation.Dont get me wrong! I am not grumbling, i just want some time to recharge back my energy.
Alright, back to assignment. I really wonder if anyone read this space again.
Love,
Dan
