Hello all!

Sorry for the long absence. Nothing much to blog about though.

School's been 'great', CAs and FYP which got me sunburnt and carrying the heavy equipments. Did 2 experiments at Tiong Bahru Depot but received futile results. How am I going to write my 50 pages report??

My turn to look for jobs now since my graduation is just less than 3 months away! Now it's my turn to start worrying about my future career advancements. Whined to boy yesterday regarding jobs and he scolded me. Well, in fact I find his scoldings useful and it got into my head. I really should not just take the easy way out and be a teacher, which was not even my goal in the first place. He said, "Pursue what you want, and even if you don't get it, at least you land somewhere near!"

Looking at Management Associate type of jobs now because these are the type of jobs that do not require a very specific field and is able to expose me to all areas.

Business wise, I am increasing the frequency of

my launch for LFDB to once every week now, which means more frequent trips to the studio for photoshoots, more time to meet up with suppliers regarding self-manufacture apparels and wholesale, and more time to do the photo-editing. More and more work, but lesser time. I can feel the stress now!

But, I amhappy doing these! :)

Something to look forward to now is - Tadah! Graduation Trip!! Mad mad happy about it. Although I would have look forward more to travelling in United States, but Taiwan is not bad too! Boy and I had really wanted to travel to United States, but the cost of SGD12k for both of us was really way too expensive because we realised that the air tickets cost much more now. Australia was out too because of the recent floodings. Korea and Japan would be a good choice but boy was concerned about the language barrier since we are going on Free & Easy. Hong Kong was out too due to influenza. Thailand was my next favorite place but boy was concerned about our safety there since there's only 2 of us. So in the end, we chose Taiwan. Safe, affordable, fun. Just that I can foresee that I will have to take care of boy instead of the other way round because I can speak much better Chinese. LOL.

Decided on airlines and hotel already! Waiting for boy to apply for his leave and then we can book online straightaway! :) We will be travelling from 26th May to 1st June (7 days 6 nights), Free and Easy! :)

Something to look forward to! And I hope I have found a job by then!

Career Fair in NTU tomorrow. Arranged to go down with Wei Jing and distribute my resumes. I hope I get call down for interviews so that I can experience more of such corporate interviews which will hopefully get me more used to it.

Will be wearing this outfit tomorrow. Wee!

Bought the black formal heels and PU bag for interviews in future. Mad love for the bag!

Pardon the dirty mirror!

Loves

The very very painful heels. But formal though. I stood up and walk for 2 minutes and I can feel as if my feet is crushing.

Boy's Vday gift to me. Iphone charger! Which means I can still charge my phone when Im outside and my phone runs out of batt.

This does not come cheap though. Thanks boy! :)

And my Vday gift to him? A Couple Swedish Massage/Facial at Raffles Place :)

This is going to be a long long post ahead. Full of photos because I am too lazy to type all the words. As much as I hated, I still have to do my FYP Project and it gives me a really big headache when I thought of the Method of Procedure I had to come up with. I have already came up with one but I feel that there is something not quite right about it. I am a little hesitant to do the experiment because I felt unsafe dealing with real live gas in pipelines. Under the hot sun somemore!! Urghhhh.

The gas pipeline set up at Tiong Bahru Depot.

The pressure regulator and valves that I had to work with.

The valve to control the flow.

About food now. I had a steamboat dinner just before CNY Eve at Boat Quay at this Thailand restaurant. It was really really X 10 nice! Not the typical type of buffet, this one comes in a set. We ordered a medium set which cost $35. The chicken soup is the tastiest ever soup I have ever tasted for steamboats and the pork was so well-marinated that all 3 of us ordered another plate of pork which cost just $5! Oh ya, they serve only pork there, no chicken no beef. So it's non-halal. And you might be surprised that they actually gave us pork lard as oil for the bbq! This place is a must-try and I gave it a rating of 10/10!! :)

This medium set costs $35, which serves 3 person.

The cosy little restaurant tucked in a corner at Boat Quay.

The very tasty soup. The steamboat plate is so different from the traditional one right? Yes those are real holes and under these holes are burning coal, not by the gas cans!

Really really delicious pork. The oil will actually drip down into the hole to make the coal below burn more or the oil will also drip into the soup. A little sinful to drink the soup with oil (not much, only a little) but it really really is tasty.

Days before CNY, LFDB held a Model Search to look out for potential models to join our team. We had about 19 models to come down for the trial photoshoot at the studio but eventually, only 15 turned up which was still a lot! Considering we fully utilized the whole 3.5 hours at the studio.

Boy came over to my house to help me pack up the apparels for the trial shoot and he gave me a little surprise by stuffing the sculpture balloons into the luggage he had brought over.

So cute right! :))

On our way there!

So excited to meet the girls! Many thanks to boy for helping me during the trial shoot.

The next day, it was the first part of my long-awaited Christmas present - Voyage De La Vie Musical at Resorts World Sentosa! Second part will be in April! :) I am not allowed to take any photos in the auditorium so no pics on the musical! It was my first time attending a musical so I thought it was a nice experience. I wouldn't say the musical was great, but at least I enjoyed myself, which is what is most important :))

Voyage De La Vie!

Then we headed over to some Candy shop to try out their ice-cream and the pucker powder. The pucker powder was nice!! But a little expensive though, $5 for that one small stick.

Pucker powder!

My favorite photo of the day!

3rd day of CNY was at floating platform for the River Angbao 2011 with boy. We wanted to play the Uncle Ringo but because I was wearing a dress, I couldnt :(

Whole mouth full of melted cotton candy

The year of pig.

Grumpy man.

My GEO contact lenses which just arrived 2 weeks ago! I had the grey super magic series but on my eyes it looked like it's blue? Super addicted to it!!

Anyway, I had just signed up a package with Fitness First. I decided that I should keep myself healthy now and that I should at least do some exercise instead of always sleeping at home and lazing around. The package doesn't come cheap but at least the pain of money will force me to be more motivated to always make a trip down to the place for some form of exercise. I can even join all their programs such as kickboxing, yoga, pilates etc as many times as I like. After exercise, I can even go for their sauna! No need to bring towels because they provide there, no need to bring drinks because they provide there too! I can even bathe at their really clean toilets after a workout. I think it is worth it.

I am getting myself a personal trainer to train me and this cost $142 per month. Admin and membership fee will cost additional $140 for the first time. I am getting the 4-months package so I hope I do lose some weight by then!!

Boy and I have decided that we shall go to either US or Europe for my graduation trip in end May or early June. I managed to check out the air tickets to Switzerland (Interlaken), Italy (Rome) and Paris at around $3k inclusive of airport taxes per person! Even air tickets to US cost at least $1.3k, plus all the domestic flights, car, expenses and accommodation, he expected the cost to be $5k per person for 2-3 weeks. I am not sure how we are going there but he assure me that it's fine when I told him that I can only just afford my own air tickets there.

Even if it's just a trip to nearby countries like Thailand or even Malaysia, I am more than happy because it's the company that I enjoy more :))

On a side note, I sat down at my desk and thought about my life. I suddenly came to realised that I am really blessed to have a nice family, and the best boyfriend who's there for me no matter what. Priceless. Any amount of money would never have been able to buy the bliss that I am having now.

I am a blessed girl.
