GOOD LUCK TO YOU MR. LOW YUAN RONG, YAVIN !

MY DREAM

Everyone have a dream. Actually, the intention of me blogging this post is to remind myself that my dream of my job scope is actually in the F&B line.

Hey, wake up Yvonne. Do u remember how much you wanted to work in big F&B companies like F&N, APB, Auric Pacific or even Diethlem?

Since young, I am exposed to F&B trade. I remember clearly when I was young, my Mum started working as Merchandiser. I followed her to work as she needs to service supermarket outlets. I love going to work with her because I get to go to all the shopping centres & supermarkets. I enjoy her kind of work bcos its freedom, own time own target - as in the faster u finish, the faster u can knock off. I love it.

After poly, I had my first job as Pest Control sales. YUCKS. the job scope sucks although u can go home after you punch card, but theres no sense of satisfaction! You dont achieve anything at all !

And so, F&N happened to have job opening for Area Sales & Vending Sales.
Vending Sales - Drives Car, Higher Pay, Diploma
Area Sales - Drives Van, bring home about 3K, 'O' Levels

I applied for Area Sales becos I am totally raw in this industry and I wanted to give myself some time to be exposed to this industry first.

I went for the first interview. It was a breeze. Passed that & I was called for the 2nd interview.

Both times the interviewer asked me if I want to apply for Vending Sales. I rejected them.

SIGHS. and they never call already la ~

Now, I am given the opportunity again. As you all know, I am on pretty good terms with the lady from marketing side. I stand a better chance now with good sales track records and furthermore, F&N is my customer !

But I would like Bun to go for the interview first and get the lady to intro him in first as I dont want him to continue working at his present company with miserable pay, miserable benefits and miserable PEOPLE!

Should I try? Hmm.. I am scared actually cos I am in my comfort zone now in my present company and I've good colleagues. But then, there isnt any prospect here. Maybe yes, in 10 or 20 yrs down the road...

God bless yvonne..

Baby boy bless mummy...

Bun & I went to Fong Kim after work to install our Fujitsubo full catback exhaust system for $1283.
we went to Fong Kim because of its reputation & its good service which I've encountered before while driving my Honda Fit. They always take good care of your car while driving up the slope infront of their shop.

But yest, I was very disappointed. The father drove my car and he slammed on the accelerator while going up the slope and PAH! kena. WTF.
At the moment I heard the PAH! my heart feels like he used a knife and stabbed in real hard. KNN.

LIM PEI DRIVE UP SLOPE ALSO DON DARE TO SLAM ON ACCELERATOR AND U DARE TO !

the moment he got off the car, he kept apologizing. SORRY GOT USE MEH? nabei.

Some updates for the weekend.

Friday (22/2)

Bun & I went to the tattoo shop at Hougang. As my design need time for the artist to customise, I had to wait a few days. So, Bun decided to have one at his ankle as well first.
Upon seeing him put his tattoo on his ankle. I decided against it. LOL. ok, im scared! LOL.

Sat (23/2)
Slept the whole day cos I was having mensus cramp. Very bad cramp.
I was very touched by my mother-in-law's actions.
She saw me going in the toilet every 5 mins and when i was lying on the bed, she brought me a spoon of powdered medicine & lukewarm water. After drinking the medicine, Im still in great pain. So, my MIL brought some medicated oil and starting rubbing my stomach. I was like touched lor. lol. but the very highly touch scene got killed when she said:"wah, yvonne, u look skinny but u got alot of fats at ur stomach hor..."

and i was like... -.-"

Slept until about 3pm then rushed back home for my mum's lunch. yummy. then slept again as the cramp came shortly after i reached home. slept with LULU! hehe. miss her smell already.. haha..

Received a GREAT news from Joan! She found her Chucky boy! Wow, lucky her man. Chucky went missing on the day I got married and she found her a month plus later. LUCKY U! Glad tt ur bdae wish came true! =D

Slept all the way till night time and had curry fish head at home! hehe. stomach pain still eat curry right.. lol. but its too delicious to resist. after which, slept again.

Sunday (24/2)
Woke up, had my breakfast. slack at home and bun went for his bball while my family and I went to my Grandma house for her 73rd bdae celebration. Had steamboat and guess what, the steamboat went up the track when everyone sat down at the table for dinner. HAHA. damn funny la. then my parents went out to get another steamboat.

After which, dad sent me to Sunshine Place to look for Joan as she was there with her Chucky. Wanted to see how's Chucky already. Poor boy i tell ya, lower part of the body was infected with fungus. Left eye blinded.. Hais. sad to see a handsome boy bcum like tt... But still , I think its a blessing in disguise cos she actually found him back. =D

Cont'd for the benefit of Miss Eng, again.. LOL.

4th Jan 08
Cant believe that its TOMORROW!
Met my girls for last min preparation.
Joan & Irene came in the late afternoon after their mani & pedi.we headed over to Sheng Shiong to grab some stuffs which I cant rem. Irene accidentally scratched her nails while eating and we walked over to BPP to buy some nail arts to cover up. (Yes, i still hav time to shop) lol. Zhu joined us shortly and they started doing the corset. Is that what we call? lol. cant rem.
stayed ard and prepare the ice/ lemon/ bittergourd etc etc till about 11pm and they left home to slp. Miss Eng came at 11 plus and she started learning how to use the videocam and finally she got down to her nails while I had my "Shong Tau" (Cantonese) at 12am sharp. You know the "yi shu, shu dao wei" that kinda things.. lol.
My relatives came as well and all of us fell aslp..

5th Jan 08
Woke up at 4am.. Really lucky Miss Eng slpt with me. If I did not rem wrongly u woke me up a couple of times right? lol. Woke up, bath and blow dry my hair.. Ate my breakfast and my MUA arrived and started make up at about 6.15am. all the way till 7.30am.

Bun, SHCs and the bros all arrived at my house downstairs. 12 cars together & horn.. LOL. its loud one lor... haha. came up and they had their Open Gate Games. LOL. Super funny while watching the video la. LOL. see their expressions while eating .. Eeewww.. LOL.

Started to serve tea to my parents. then left for Hougang.

Reached Hougang, served tea, then back to Teck Whye.

Reached Teck Whye and served tea again. Cut the roasted pig and back to Hougang then to Hotel. Woohz!

by the time we reach the Hotel its already 3 pm. Once I reached Hotel, "pang" onto the bed. My sisters started bathing one by one and finally its my turn to bath and prepare..

The scariest part is here.. The banquet. Cos we dont know if everyone will turn up, whether enough tables or not.. Worries and worries but luckily, we've a bunch of cool people to help us ! Really lucky.

And so, the dinner went on smoothly...

Finally, its sending the guests off and the most anticipated part comes in! Whether your ang bao is enough to cover ur expenses or not! wah, go up to hotel room, open up the ang baos one by one.. take down who bao how much.. Wah, luckily we have enough to cover.. No need to top up any cash at all.

FINALLY! Everything is over~~~~

now is remove my thick thick thick make up off! Super thick can ~ waraoz. remove already, fill the bathtub with water while bun pack up all the gowns & suits and I just lie in the bathtub...

Pure enjoyment.

Really. the feeling is indescribable. U have to experience it urself.
That night, I had such a good night's slp. Really is slp tight tight and sweet dreams lor. LOL.


Thinking back now, its such a fun experience. lol.
Just let nature take its course.


俗语说的好。 船到桥头自然直。。。

Its been almost 2 months since my wedding.

I've decided to update about the process of my wedding for the benefits of those getting married soon, like my ai ren. LOL.

Lets start through the process of booking of Bridal package, Hotel, Cakes etc.

We started off with the booking of Hotels first. Looking at various hotels, we compared the prices & package they offer. Most importantly is whether the hotel charge corkage charge for the wine & liquor you bring in. NEVER EVER choose a hotel that charge corkage unless you have too much money to spend on a bottle of wine that will cost you at least 30 bucks.
Of course, calculate how much additional cash you have that allows you to pay up for the balance after deducting your ang bao.
Since we are at the ang bao issue, never ever calculate the best ang bao you can get. For me, to play safe, I calculated each ang bao at the rate of $40, $50 & $80. I'm sure you can do this simple calculation. For me, I think $40 is the worse you can ever get, hence if you are able to top up the remaining cash, you are very safe already cos Im sure you don wan to land urself in debts after you wedding right dude? Of cos, if everyone gives you $80 you are most safe.
My parents requested for 10 tables and the angbao from the 10 tables will be kept by them. Hence, your table cost x 10 tables = $ that you confirm have to fork out.

Next will be the bridal shop.
Remember to do your research well. Really, I learnt my lesson the hard way and we were really lucky that we manage to settle it. Dont rush into signing any package. Shortlist a few & then do your research on singaporebrides.com.

Next will be the cakes for "guo da li"
Cakes may look cheap individually. but 40 boxes as requested by my parents dont come cheap together. Same, shortlist a few and compare on the looks and no. of pieces offered and of cos, the service; whether you have to do self - collection or they deliver.

Next on the list will be the buffet to serve.
Shortlist a few as well and do your research online. See what are the comments offered by the people who tried the buffet before. Of course, compare the package and the price to see if it is worth while to order from them.

Hmm.. Ok, I shall cont' when Im free on the actual day and the day before.

I am so excited !

=D

I'm going to the tattoo shop tonight. hehe.

Hope to choose a nice alphabet 'B'. =)

still missing u darling boy...

Dont know why, I am feeling kinda moody.

No mood for work as well. Been dragging myself to work !

But, I keep on telling myself I CANNOT think like this !

CANNOT CANNOT CANNOTTTT !!!

I think I will fail one of my resolutions for 2008 lor. Which is saving 12K this yr. But, I will still try to hit as close as possible.

Kept thinking about having baby. I tot I wont be in such a hurry to have one and let nature take its course. Easier said than done huh... zzz
I know I am worrying unduly but then, I am just afraid that there may be something wrong with my body cos I dont think I've been taking good care of my body at all. I dont take meat and I always eat instant noodles. Sighs.

That day, Bun accidentally kicked my stomach while lying on the bed watching TV and I flared my top. I told him if I have a baby and I dont know about it, what will happen?

Yesterday my colleague asked me to deliver 2 cartons of goods and I scolded him, are you going to be responsible if I have a baby and I am not aware of it?

Sighs.
Dont tell me I am having menopause at 23 yrs old..

Sent Ah Kiu home yesterday and get the "da pao" from her. the super big bottle of XO i think. haha. Bun loves to save coins la.

And since I bought it home last night, he is so excited about it. and he has a milk bottle full of coins ma, then he took out the $1 and put in the "da pao" and then the rest of the coins, he xchanged it with his mum and the some of it bring it out to change. LOL.

he says when the "da pao" is full of $1 coin, he will downpay for evo or type r. -.-"

lol. tts my ah bun la. always full of funny funny ideas.

and he is so enthu about it that he brought some of his notes out hopefully can change to more $1 coins.

haha.

good luck bunny~

YEAH! Finally we can go Bangkok once again! hehe.

Actually this is the 3rd consecutive year we are going to Bangkok!

Happy! This time round, we decided to stay at Baiyoke Sky Hotel. Bangkok's tallest Hotel !

For me, I'm not so particular about the flight but more on the Hotel. I dont mind paying more for the hotel which I am doing so cos Baiyoke Sky is a 4 star hotel. =D

For air tickets wise, we will be going for Tiger Airways.

Oh ya, this trip will be 5D4N. Departing on 6plus in the morning of 8th May and coming back 10plus at night on the 12th May! =D =D =D

I'll be bringing SGD$4000 there to spend. I dont want to have any restricitions in spending money there. Also, I will be bringing the Debit Card & Credit Card just in case I use up my cash.

Bun was saying, siao ah, can you finish spending 4K in 5 days or not?

I think he looks down on a woman's spending power la. LOL.

Bangkok! Here I come!

I am trying to read up more on how to get pregnant easily fast.

Apparently, my period is very very irregular.

We've been trying since 5th Jan 08. But no news leh!

WHY WHY WHY?

I think I am going to get the book called "How to get pregnant for Dummies".

Sighs.

My purpose of early marriage is to have kids early! I am turning 23 already la! and its so late !!
