Christmas is coming...though it's only November... (18 Nov 2006)

Suddenly had the inspiration to decorate our home for Christmas...we therefore made a trip to Concourse to have a look at all the Christmas trees and decorations on sale. Managed to buy this 9 feet garland like thing and some Christmas decor. That night, Dear and I set it up...although it was really missing the lights, but we left it as it is... Ok, quite satisfied. Now just have to wait for the presents... :P

Errm..Bedroom Slippers?! (12 Nov 2006)

Ok, nothing much happening this week. We bought bedroom slippers from Daiso (the $2 shop), pink for me, blue for Dear Dear...hehe..

Bollywood Night! (28 Oct 2006)

Time for some Bollywood fun at my company's D&D held at Shangri-La Hotel. Got dressed up for the event and met up with my marketing colleagues. The programme lined up included the Senior Management performing a dance item for the opening (they were pretty good!) as well as many other games. Some staff had really nice Indian outfits. But I'm glad I kept mine simple anyhow : -) Check out some of the photos below....

Wedding Bells (22 Oct 2006)

Dear's colleague held their wedding lunch at Conrad Hotel today. That's us posing with the couple and some of Dear's colleagues...

Little India (14 Oct 2006)

Made a trip down to Little India this day to find some Bollywood outfit for my company's D&D two weeks later. The place was really packed and full of people as it was actually the weekend before Deepavali. Felt really hot and tired having looked and looked at all the outfits to find something that I liked. At last, I finally decided on this fuchsia pink punjabi suit and threw in bangle accesories. Bollywood here I come!

Phyllis birthday (13 Oct 2006)

Celebrating Phyllis birthday at Mummy's place. We had a really sumptuous spread that evening :-)

Mid Autumn Festival (6 Oct 2006)

That's just silly us playing around with lanterns in our home to celebrate Mid Autumn Festival! It was too hazy outside (PSI >100) so we decided against taking a walk in the park.

Christina Visits! (3 Oct 2006)

My dear cousin from UK came back for a short 1 plus week break and I was really glad that I was able to catch up with her right after our Phuket trip. Phil did not come back this time, so we brought Christina out for lunch at Junction 8. After lunch, we invited her to our home for a visit. Early this year when dear and me got married, she did not manage to visit our new home. So this trip, we made it a point for her to drop by. We ended up chatting and having tea for the afternoon. It has been quite an interesting year to have met Christina thrice given that before this, I last saw her like 5 years ago?! The first was when she and Phil came to our wedding in January. Then we stayed at their home when we had our honeymoon in UK & Europe around end April. Finally, we meet again in October. We might meet up again 2 years later perhaps...till then, take care Chrissie and stay in touch! :-)

Phuket Trip (29 Sep - 2 Oct 2006)

Recently, we took a short trip to Phuket and I must say that it was a good getaway from the hustle and bustle of work life. Though it rained quite a bit when we were there, we still had sunshine on some days and took the opportunity to visit a nearby island (though not my preferred one, which would be Phi Phi island).

When the weather was good, Dear tried out Parasailing on the beach. After much persuasion, I actually tried it out too. Ha! It was quite exciting when I first took off, but after that, it actually felt like...err..was that it? When you are up there, you don't really feel the speed at which you are moving. In fact, things seem to be moving quite slowly..

In the evening, we went to watch a cultural show called Phuket FantaSea. Buffet dinner was part of the package and tickets and I guess the place was quite interesting. It was like a mini theme park (minus the rides). We had quite a nice time there.

On another day, we could not go to Phi Phi Island due to the weather condition. We were told that the waves were too choppy. Felt a little disappointed, but we decided to go to another nearby island called Khai Island. It was the first time that I tried snorkeling! Quite a scary experience at first, but after a while, it was actually quite fun once you get the hang of it! This really inspired me to want to go for another snorkeling trip where the waters are really crystal clear....*dreamy*

Well, it may be a short trip, but I guess the company really makes it romantic ;) Look forward to another trip soon!
