Wedding preparation again

Wedding invitation cards all out. Dunno is it I too rush in writing the cards, I got some relatives and friends complain their name wrote wrongly, aahh..I feel so bad and very very sorry to them. Now need to call one by one to comfirm attandance, almost done. Total 31 tables. Re-arrange some seating plan, and also prepare for next Friday bachelorette at my house.

Right after back from Ipoh, I started packing up my room's thing shifted to new house, on the same time throw away some unwanted item. Things are sending to new house, batch by batch. Tomorrow, I have invite a few church members to sing praise and pray at my new house, for the purpose to bless the house.

This coming Sunday is the first night dinner, I do not have much to prepare just to make sure my gown, make-up artist and aware of it.

Valentine's day, no celebrate, as both also busy get things ready. A raining night, I accompany my mum to buy things at nearby. Brandon met a small accident on the way back home, it was raining and road slippery. Luckily not terrible, car repairing now. God will be with us, do not worry. Things will be ok.

Chinese New Year 2005

After finished all works on my last day, looked around the cubicle, left 2 ppl only..so I left the company quietly..with both hand taking my stuff..

At night reunion dinner at my uncle's house, with lots of dishes and lou sang, after that chit-chat with cousins, nieces, nephews and aunties.. Seems like this CNY is my "last" time before I married can have gather dinner with all own uncles and aunties, next year after married have to follow husband side liow..

First day of CNY, went to the same uncle house again, he is the eldest son in my father's side, so all relatives will go there when there is any occasion. So..hehe...this year is my last time taking angpau, haha..must greet greet around very hard to grab all..not bad manage to get a lot also..After that visit my dad's kam poh around that area also...at night went to Brandon's house with my family.

2nd day, went back to Ipoh (mother's side relatives). Happy to see them once again, once I step into my uncle's house ppl starts calling me "san liong" (bride)..ok..haha..bride-to-be..We have BBQ night, lamb and beef grill, pork grill, chicken wings, satay, fried mee..etc..wahh...very delicious...always hometown food is that great! it was a very hot day..too bad my uncle's house the electric voltage comes too high cause his house some electrical item spoilt. At first we though is overload used, actually is not. There was one electric generator house failed to cut off the watt power which deliver to his residential area. So those house who install 3 phase electric wayer will kena. It was scary when the voltage come unevenly, the lamp starts blinking and make sounds, and the fan motor also having something burn inside. My uncle immediatedly call his electric wayer man came over to check, he check for a while and when he tried to switch on the TV wayer connection, dunno what burns inside, TV is gone also with smoke starts coming out. After some primary inspection done, he said he can't do anything, coz it cause by the main electric deliver, not the wayering problem. Therefore, my aunty call Tenaga ppl to come and investigate and says that the spoilt item can claim back. Too bad lorrr...we can't stay there, hot hot weather, so we shift to cousin sis house, aircon all must on, dunno why Ipoh is that hot than KL.

3rd day, enjoy eat n sleep around..bring nephews, nieces and with cousins to shop at JJ, Ipoh..other than that no where to go, 3 days CNY at Ipoh area, sometimes go to this cousin's house, sometimes go to that uncle's house. I enjoy staying in the house, if not chit-chat with cousin or play with the babies then is sleep..I sleep a lot n eat a lot..no gambling...

Manage to collect many ang pao..total up although not much but enjoy collecting....

Reading the newspaper, traffic to North is terrible. My KL relative travel for 7 hours back to Ipoh, my cousin's gf travel from Malacca also 9 hours..so terrible..Luckily when my family travel it was nothing, 2 hours sharp reached Ipoh and back to KL also seems alright and normal. All the way, police in the canopy stand by camera. Dunno got kena or not...even old road also got.

This is how my CNY passed, simple, enjoy and treassure.

Farewell I

Yesterday still very busy to finish my project and also work OT, still have 2 more not yet finish :( Some colleagues came to me, and gave me gift for farewell and wedding, knowing that I'm going to leave, and because yesterday were the last time they see me in the office, since next week they'll be off for CNY. Everyone seems very miss me and they feel lost of a good staff. In my heart feel very miss them also cause we are so fren and the close of each other is more than just only colleagues. I truly miss them after I go. Many many cross feeling.

Manager only announced my leave on last meeting. Kinda late compared to last time, when they are somebody leaving. Well I dun expect any farewell from the department. Those my teammate already farewell with me and I think is more than enough only with few of them.


Here are some pic taken with my colleagues and during dinner.

In this day

Yesterday was holiday, I went shopping with Evan (cousin sis) for her bridesmaid wear, shoes...etc..okok...no more pink time...final one bought a pink shoe, thats it. Bought a lot of thing, I got myself an extra gown cream white color for my wedding dinner, love it very much...coz the bridal house only provide 2 pieces, which is 1 piece I need to wear it a week earlier and return the next 3 days. I can't hold until next week, else they will charge like I taking another piece...everything we got quite satisfied. Shop for 4.5 hours. Very tired!

At night, need to distribute biscuit and cards to friend. Still got some to go for today...Can't wait any longer since the biscuit reach me on last Sunday. These few days I lack of sleep, everyday also vy tired, tell myself to sleep early, but cannot also, have a lot of things to think n do..not much appetite to eat, eye circle all come out..wah..so 'chan'...may b need to put down all work then only can get a good rest. This morning worst still, my left eyelid corner there swollen. I so scare la..my mum said may be is 'ngan tiew jam' aiyoh..so bad la..20 more days to be bride liow...cannot cannot...so today I waer spec to office. Nerdy look! then I try to use water to dap on the eye area. now the swollen side is almost looks gone. Luckily... I think is insects bite...

Counting down now, 4 more days stay in this office, 2 more projects to close, not sure can close on-time or not and 2 more projects yet to pass to my 'pity' assistant colleague. I try to protect not to give her but at last still can't make it arrange not to giv her. Well ok lorr..follow the so-free-n-nothing-to-do assistant manager instruction. Both also tuff one..well...really pity her, who ask I'm fall in the 'favourite' team. So tuff project always circulate to us only. hai...hopefully she can cope with it..else she'll suffer a lot from top ppl after I go. Start packing up my cubicle stuff back home little by little.

This Friday night, my colleague will farewell with me at Chopstick Noodle house, we going to try out Porridge Steamboat. They make it earlier, coz on the 8th Feb, some are off for CNY holiday. Many great ppl here, miss are the people, but not the crazy work!
