NataLie TonG = my LookaLike

In recent years, there's a young TVB actress called Natalie Tong, whom probably 90% of my friends swear looks like me. Well, I can't get a pic of mine & hers with the same pose, or look or hairstyle that we could really compare...but, of course, I don't really see the resemblance, till..recently. I realised I look around 80% like her in one of my wedding pics. Hahaha...people say I look like her especially when it's a sideway glance. I sorta agree...only sometimes...haha

Recently, many people that I meet for the 1st time, our conversation will most likely include:

Friend: Hey, do u watch HK TVB movies?

Me: I know what you're trying to say...You wanna say I look like Natalie Tong, the one who recently appeared in 老婆大人II & also ID精英, right?

Friend: Yayaya..how do you know? Many people said this to you?

Me: Yeah...I'm sick of people saying this already! Hahahaha....

I asked Mama about this before, whether she agrees to it. She used to say, "Nolah, not at all". Then after seeing that particular wedding pic, she now thinks so too! Not only her, Daddy & Baobei, too!! Hahaha...even those closest to you also say so, then I think it could be true...

During our off days, we were also due to get back to the bridal house to have a look at the progress of our album. The designs were great, the great pics are still great..or I should say even better with a bit of this & that add-ons & special effects done to it. However, the b*tch in me decided to be abit hard on them. Wanted this & that changed..especially some wordings, which I think doesn't make sense; has totally no meaning & grammatically WRONG. So, how could I tolerate having that in my album? NO WAAAAy....so I got them to change & change & change to my satisfaction.

Later on in the evening, we paid a visit to dada's bestie, who was kind enough to let us be guests to their (a little too big for 2) house when we were there for the photoshoot. Now, they have an addition to the family! Their baby boy came into their lives on 9th June 2009 & we are so happy for them! Congrats, Mr & Mrs Ang~~from Mr & Mrs Sim ;)

Me & Baby 澤
~~awww..he's so camera-shy~~

He is a cute little one, isn't he??!! Sometimes...I really think life is so meaningful & the most beautiful things in life are actually RIGHT THERE...just that some of us are just too occupied with other 'not so important' things that they failed to notice. They fail to slow down & take time to appreciate the great things in life.

I have been reading alot & have many friends around me who are 1st time mummies...& it always bring tears to my eyes reading & listening to them on the development of the little ones. Sometimes, when I watch TV & see milk or diapers ads with babies especially, I get all misty-eyed. I don't know why...Why am I being so emotional? I'm such a drama queen, eh? But honestly speaking, if you ask me if I'm ready to be a mum, I'll say NO! When? Hmm..I adopt this answer from my cousin who answers this whenever people ask him when will he get married: IN THE DISTANT FUTURE *full stop*

FiNaL WeeK

As we go into the final week of preparation before the photoshoot...I tend to think alot..Perhaps many, many nonsense that I shouldn't be wasting time worrying about. The result of all this worrying? A GIGANTIC pimple near my nose that Thank God cleared in 2 days, & many, many strands of white hair!! My Goodness!! Am I really turning old that fast?

I'm not emotionally stable too. I don't understand why. Is this what others call the 'pre-wedding jitters' ? I surely don't hope so..or at least, let's hope that I get over it soon. I find myself getting irritated easily...SO DAMN EASY that it's annoying to myself too...Haha...what a statement..

Perhaps as we go into the final week of preparation before the photoshoot..let's hope that I get enough rest, no stress & nothing to worry about so that I can enjoy the day being the centre of attention with Dada...*fingers crossed*

CouSiNs' ViSiT to GeNTinG

Glad to receive a call from my cousin Ah Boy few weeks back asking me to help book hotel rooms for a 2 nite stay @ Genting. Yippee! Finally, this lonely Sabah Girl will have her family visiting! Hahaha..I have been working here for 3 years plus now & though they are all in KL, it's not like every weekend that they come up. This is their only 2nd visit since I started work here. What a pity eh...

8 of them came up, 3 aunts, 1 uncle, 3 cousins & one of my cousin's girlfriend, soon to be cousin sis-in-law. Met up with them when they were checking into their rooms at Resort Hotel, & dinner on the first night at Good Friend Restaurant. After dinner, brought them to apply for our Genting WorldCard. Oh yes, all of them would have to contribute to my KPI. Hahaha...

Dinner on the 1st night @ Good Friend

The elder ones couldn't get started on 'gaming' & I brought the rest to watch our in-house show Dreamz. What to do?? This is part of my marketing job, ok..so please bear with me. Hahaha..Before their visit, I have also applied for employee discounts for them at the theme park. So, that's where they spent the whole of the 2nd day.

A family portrait @ VIP Waiting Area (we all LOVE this pic)

Met up with them again for dinner, this time at Happy Valley. The discussion around the dinner table would definitely won't miss out on our 'wedding' which I really don't know when. Ah Dee, my cousin, the one with a girlfriend, would probably consider attending our wedding before migrating to Adelaide. Wow...so nice..but sorry Ah Dee, I have NO IDEA at all when would that be...

My aunts carried on talking about wedding rituals and customs. Each giving their opinions, inclusive of my elder cousin, Ah Boy, who has been to many, many weddings as Best Man as well as 'hing dais'. Well, I'm sure, at that table, Dada & I were not the only couple taking notes. Hahaha..Ah Dee & his girlfriend surely got some tips too. Hahaha...

After dinner, my aunts were once again eager to try their luck. So, we (the younger generation) went over to First World Plaza instead. Since they purchased the All Park tickets, they were still able to play at the Indoor Theme Park at night. We took a couple of pics, just for memory's sake. Then, Dada & I had to say goodbye to them as he will be checking in for midnight shift.

Sigh...these 2 cousin brothers basically grew up with me & my childhood memories were filled with their mischevious acts. Unfortunately, they moved back to KL when I was in Standard 3. Since then, I was left all alone in KK, & only get to see them 2 or 3 years once on our family visits to KL.

And Genting would ALWAYS be in our itinerary for a complete family vacation together. We had many memories fooling around in Genting. It for a moment made me warm at heart thinking about those memories, while seeing all the happy faces around me tonight. We've all grown up to lead our own lives. I'm abit sad that Ah Dee is really migrating soon, but also happy for him & Sze Sze at the same time. As for Ah Boy, he has always been the loud mouth 'kao lui wong' but the slowest to have a significant half. Haha..& as for me, who would have thought, when I grow up, I'd be working here & this is where I found Dada (or HE found me)? More importantly, HOW MUCH LONGER will I be stuck here? How would my future be? I really wonder...

HaPPy BiRTHdaY to my BLOG!!

Hey there blog C'est Moi is 1 year old!!!

It's just unbelievable how time flies by sooooo fast!! I must be getting old too..but I hope I age gracefully..wuahahahaha...

Of course, besides wishing my blog happy birthday, I would like to share my TVB fever. As mentioned in the previous blog, I'm soooo into Moonlight Resonance that all I dream about is to have lots of children..give them a warm, harmonious & loving environment to grow up in. I want all my kids to be united together, to help each other out..to be warm & caring just like in the series. It's all so warm & touching. I never thought of wanting so many kids...to me..3 is more than enough..but then after watching this series..I feel so warm & good that I'm beginning to think that 3 is too little & not enough 'noise'. Hahaha...It must be so much fun growing up in a big family with lots of siblings.

I have always been independent & a little 'lonely' growing up nearly 'alone' with an elder brother who is 10 years my senior. The feeling is very different.

I might now start thinking of nice names for them..what would be a good Chinese name which is in sequence for 3 siblings? Just like the series, they used 家好月圓慶中秋. What should I use? This might take a while for me to think as my Chinese is not that good.

For English, I like the idea of all my kids having an English name either starting with the same alphabet, or names that rhymes:

1. Nicole, Natasha & Nicholas?

2. Ariel, Gabriel & Daniel?

3. Nelson, Jason & Susan?

Might probably not look for names that are too long, as it won't balance with their surname..SIM...;-p

DroP DeaD TiReD

Before I realise...here goes another CNY where I have to work like crazy. Non-stop, long hours, unable to do other stuff other than the 'big project' & not enough time for Dada & myself. If Dada did not stay back & accompany me during his 4 days leave, we would have near 0 time together..To make things worse, I sorta hurt myself carrying those stupid heavy stuff! My shoulder has been in pain since Day 1. Dada has been scolding me like silly coz I didn't put myself as 1st priority. Last year, it was my back, this year, my shoulder...my, am I getting OLD or what? Hmmm...

Anyway, all's not ended yet..unfortunately..Before I can go off & enjoy 9th of March's celebration, I have got TONNES of work to settle. I need to clear everything before I could really bring myself to relax & go on my WELL DESERVED break.

When I'm on leave, I don't wanna receive any calls nor SMSes from work..I've had enough, I'm really tired & the battery I have in me now can only last till 7th March. (I begin my leave on 8th as I don't want anyone to ruin the eve of my birthday!) Then, I need time to recharge batteries for my trip, then come back fresh for work.

Ooops...how could I NOT mention this on this BIG DAY! Today is our 3rd Anniversary! 3 years back, we took a romantic walk and right in front of GH car park, we started this beautiful relationship...

Valentine's Day was caught in the middle of CNY period, we didn't even get the chance to so much as sit down & enjoy a quiet dinner. We went to Sushi King & had a quick dinner. Long queues everywhere & service was quite slow. We had to sit at the 1st table facing the entrance, hence with so many pairs of eyes queuing & watching us eat, we really can't enjoy much. Further more, even for that few minutes & steps away from my 'project site' I received a phone call from work. Damn! So much of a Happy Valentine's Day..!

I think I have neglected Dada recently. But no matter what, he always try his best to spend time with me. These few nights, he has been working night shifts, while my shifts end almost about the time he checks in. Hence, one can only imagine how many MINUTES we spend together each day. However, he has been very supportive, & understands how I am when at work. He sits patiently waiting for me to settle my stuff. Knowing deep inside that I have no time to eat with him, or that by the time I finish settling my stuff, he'd have to check in already..:(

He's always the BEST SUPPORTING BOYFRIEND SOON-TO BE HUSBAND. Hahahahaha...Yeah, one really sweet thing he did recently, he booked a trip back to KK in mid November to attend a compulsory Catholic Pre-marriage talk..Wedding bells ringing??Nope, not really, not until I STOP spending too much & see our bank account growing...

CiNDeReLLa's 'PuMpKiN CaRRiaGe'

I was surfing around and found this video @ YouTube which I think is quite funny. Hahaha..while I watching it, reminds me of a pic I took in Ipoh's Kinta City..looks exactly the same as the one in the video.

Well, enjoy the video. Sorry for those who don't understand Cantonese. You won't be able to enjoy this..

As I was on my way to Bakery to online, I was thinking if I have anything to blog today. Hmm..nothing much happening except work, work & work. I thought I had nothing to write about until this...

As I logged in to my Friendster account, as usual, I always like to know who has viewed my profile recently. Then, I came across a very familiar name & that photo..reminds me of someone...MY EX-BF!

Just thinking of him sends shivers down my spine. He was so controlling, I didn't have any freedom, can't talk to a guy, can't even smile at a guy, can't even joke & be friends with another guy at all!! I remembered how unhappy I was being with him.

Then, after nearly 8 years not keeping in touch with him, he comes back to haunt me. Well, frankly speaking, I don't want anything to do with him. Gosh, I think just by looking at the pics I uploaded into Friendster, he would be able to guess where I am working; he'll know who among our classmates last met up with me; most importantly..I hope he knows I'm happily 'soon-to-be-married'...to Dada..

Gosh, I sound paranoid..all because I have been reading a novel on a girl who witnessed a murder and is placed under a witness protection program. I imagine myself being her..and AS IF after leaving high school I have a new identity...Well, looks like he's happily involved in a relationship as well...(too bad I'm the prettier one :-p & Dada is definitely the more charming one & knows how to treat a lady..)

ThouGHts..JuZ ThouGHts..

Juz got back from leave and juz managed to screen through my hundreds of e-mails. While I sit waiting for Dada to call me & say it's dinner time, I take time off to reflect on the many things that happened during my short 4 days leave. Shall blog on the details of cruise adventure + shopping sprees another day (with pretty pics included).

Had dinner with my family in KL last nite. It was just a "Long time no see, let's get together" dinner nite out. Picked my aunt's usual favourite restaurant at nearby Pandan Jaya. My cousin Ah Dee, caught in the rush hour traffic, joined us nearly 1 hour later. I'm abit sadden to get a confirmation from him that he's SERIOUS about migrating to either Melbourne or Adelaide (where he used to study & met my soon to be "biew sou").

Before dinner at Aunt Helen's place, she casually mentioned this. She looked sad & disappointed. Poor thing, she has 3 kids & yet 2 are planning to leave her. I feel sad for her as well..(My ever-understanding Dada, comforted me by offering we could go visit Aunt Helen more often..:) My other cousin, who is stationed in Penang, is planning to migrate to USA. Can't understand the sudden "MIGRATING RUSH" of the 2 brothers.

These 2 brothers, used to grow up with me. I was the only girl within the group of 4 of us (both of them, my brother & myself). Together, we had endless fights, going to (diff) schools together, compete on exam results & exchanged endless, endless stories. How have we all grown up into separate directions and our paths hardly ever cross anymore?

Ah Dee at the end of the nite, asked me, "Hey, I forgot to ask, what's the occasion?" I answered, "Nothing, just that we have not met up for quite sometime, so I arranged for this get-together" He said,"But mum said you have something special to announce. Seriously, did I missed that part? You guys getting married??" "Nolah, come on, do we really need special reasons just for a get-together?"

Hmm..speaking about marriages & weddings, just saw another couple's wedding pics. I'm happy & abit sad at the same time, coz my "ANGEL" idea has been stolen! However, I hope no one will copy the idea of my IDEAL MARRIAGE PROPOSAL (well, a friend once told me he read about the same plot in a newspaper just weeks after I told him about my much fantasized proposal scene). Of coz, Dada knows it too..but I have no idea when he'll pop the question. We shall wait & see...

Hmmmm...get it??

MY CeLeBriTies LooK-aLiKe ParT II

If you didn't notice earlier, let me tell you. Of the 2 times I tried this, Sammi Cheng's photo came up. Yes, when I was in college and when she was at the peak of her career, I used to like her. Mind you, it's USED to. Not anymore..I didn't believe it the first round, that's why I did another round. But the results came out the same. The first round, it was 80% as it was a more recent picture. The second one was taken a few months earlier than the 1st. Hence, dada's conclusion of me resembling Sammi Cheng is...I look MORE & MORE like her as time goes by...arrrgggghhhhh...how could he say that???

Unfortunately, all good things will need to come to an end...my long-awaited 10 days break to go back to KK has ended. Now, I'm back at work.

Well, just as I have previously mentioned, Dada said this is Life...c'est la vie! I'll just have to keep myself occupied, and wish that time flies & before I know it, it's time to go home again!

As I was busy holding my tears yesterday right before boarding at the airport, I realised something. There are several places, that we visit in life, some frequently, some not so often, that has the magic of having the very extreme happiness & very extreme sadness all under one roof:-

1. Airports:

~ arrival of loved ones = happiness
~ departure of loved ones = sadness

2. Hospitals:

~ the birth of new born babies = happiness
~ the death of loved ones = sadness
3. Churches:

~ baptism, wedding masses = happiness

~ funeral masses = sadness

Very often in life, we are at the juncture between happiness & sadness. Be it happiness or sadness, the most important thing is how we choose to face it. I'm proud to say that, this time I shed the LEAST tears when coming back to face WORK & put mum, dad & baobei behind for a while. ~sob~sob~

MI 4

Had a huge breakfast wif my 2 sexy colleagues..(hmm..1 sexy, the other...not so) The reason y 3 of us checked in so early 2day is becoz we hv a mission...a mission to transform the "not so sexy" to sexy..guess we need Tom Cruise on our side for Mission Impossible 4...
