HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MUMMY!!

I just realized SQ has got this Fabulous All-In Fare to Hong Kong for just SGD$388 per pax net (SGD$776 net for 2 pax). *Prices are inclusive of airfares and all taxes and surcharges.* OMG!!! I'm like what?! So cheap!! Even cheaper than the pair of Cathay Pacific tickets that I bought & this is SQ leh!! :( So guys, if you are planning to go Hong Kong, grab your tickets from Singaporeair.com as they have got really good deals.

Still, it's okay, as I heard from friends that Cathay Pacific is as good and I'm still very looking forward to my Hong Kong Trip!! Do let me know if you have anything or any place to recommend in Hong Kong. Can't wait for the exams to end! Yes, my first paper is on 27 April & the last one on 8th May. It starts with History of Management thoughts to Employment Relations, and lastly Macroeconomics.

Anyway, we celebrated Mummy's birthday on 21st March @ Jumbo. Great dinner with my dearest mum, dad, sister and bf.

Before I end, something caught my eye when I was on the bus back home that day after meeting my best^5 friend. I thought it may be good to share with all of you - Age is an issue of mind over matter. If you don't mind, it doesn't matter :)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

DEAREST MELANIE!

Our dearest Melanie had just celebrated her 22nd Birthday this Saturday. I suggested Pasta de Waraku @ Hereen because I've heard rave about the food from several friends. Indeed, the food were tasty, filling and, most importantly, looks really appetizing. Hence, I strongly recommend those who have not visit Pasta de Waraku to give it a try!

That morning, Mr Bf and I went for the Supreme Court (opposite Funan Mall) open house. The court was opened at 10am and we were so surprise to see an ultimate long Que outside the court when we reached around 10.30am! Nevertheless, this is a wonderful eye-opener and experience for us. The two "sua-kus" walked around and snap as many pictures as we could. We were even given the opportunity to put on the lawyer's robe and observe the enactment of a criminal trial at the Singapore's highest court, the Court of Appeal. We also sit-in for the enactments of civil proceedings which were pretty interesting as well b'cos it's rather similar to what you've learned in our lectures.

Yesterday, 15 March 2009, Mr Bf's 2nd brother had his ROM. We woke up early in the morning and waited excitedly for the solemner to arrive. The blissful couple treated us to a restaurant at the grassroots club after the ceremony.

By the way, I'm confirmed with the Hong Kong Trip this coming May. I've got a pretty good deal from Focal Travel and everything including airport tax is $587 per pax for 4D3N, with additional $85 per pax for an additional night. That total up to $672 net per pax for 5D4N, which I personally think is quite reasonable. Finally get to travel to the Asia Hottest Shopping Spot - Hong Kong & to meet my dearest Mickey. Ha ha. Although many had told me that the Disneyland is "so-so" only, but I'm still very looking forward to it. Hurray! *Woohoo*

As for now, the most important thing is to work hard and do well for all my assignments, test and exams in order to enjoy myself for the trip. Cheers and jiayou to everyone who is on the same boat as me :)

His Needs, Her Needs.

I came across Weiling's blog and find this entry very useful for couples! So, I decided to share it in my blog. Credit goes to http://mrssuperman.wordpress.com/

Pastor’s sermon over the 3 weekends was great! His sermon was based on a book “HIS NEEDs, HER NEEDs” which i had finished reading 8 months ago. Somehow, with Pastor’s preaching and the drama team, it makes the understanding so much easier.

5 TOP NEEDs of WOMAN:
1. Affection
2. Conversation
3. Openness and Honesty
4. Financial Support
5. Family Commitment

5 TOP NEEDs of MAN:
1. Sexual Fulfillment
2. Recreational Companion
3. Attractive Spouse
4. Domestic Support
5. Admiration

Like what Pastor mentioned, some of the needs seem very trivial, but to the one who needs them, it’s something important. Many relationships, be it married or dating couple, broke down because of the lack of knowledge of their partner needs. In the end their other half can only get it from somebody else outside.

This is where the concept of LOVE BANK comes in. Everybody will open an account when you interact with him/her. When every couple starts courting, they will try their best to present themselves and compromises, in the end a lot of love units are deposited. Somehow as times goes by, the spark and excitement dies off, especially when both parties make no effort to keep it going.

I read another book that says Habit is behavioral patterns that become automatic and almost effortless when repeated often enough. After getting together for long, we should know what are the habits that will make deposit or withdrawal. Therefore, it’s very important to kick off those habits that make withdrawal and form those which deposit.

I think it’s really a very good sermon especially for those who have been together for a while, be it courting or married. It’s like a knowledge placed in us which we can used for life, i don’t believe in honeymoon period, the sweetness and love should be for eternal.

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY 2009,
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ANGELINE SIST, PINKO AIAI, RODNEY SIM, VINCENT LEE & EDMUND ONG!!

Hello people!!!! I'm back in action :D I know some ladies & gents are complaining that my blog is collecting dust, my apologies for that.

Anyway, I've got another Employment relation assignment to submit next Friday!! So ya, I'm gonna skip my lunch and stay in the office just like how I did for the past one week to do my assignment, AGAIN!

February had been a busy yet enjoyable month for me (: Everything starts with Feb13, the Black Friday, whereby Mary Ann invited us to her home sweet home for some home-cooked dinner. Of course, chef of the day was none other than her, the lady who had left for Australia two weeks ago. Although it's said to celebrate Valentine's Day, but it's kinda like a farewell dinner for her too. Babe, see ya in one and half year time alright!!

This year, Mr Dylan Lee got me a bouquet of blue roses, a handmade card and a pink nitendo ds lite for Valentine's day. Everything was what I like. . and we had a simple dinner at Brewerkz Clarke Quay. Thanks babe! I love you :)

Very tasty home-cooked five course meal (includes: baked mushroom with cheese, salad, mushroom soup, pasta with mash potato & cheesecake) all self-made by Missy Mary Ann (:

We also celebrated Vincent & Edmund birthday at the same time since their birthday were very close to one another. After the celebration, we went to catch the movie "He's just not that into you".
