currently on a week's mc. just had my wisdom teeth removed. yes all four at one go. the surgery was successful, thanks to the surgeon, doctors and nurses at ktph. no severe pain so far, thankfully. i am definitely blessed, very blessed. blessed to have my dear boyfriend be by my side. i feel loved to have him beside me the moment i woke up from my surgery. i can feel his strokes on my forehead. i can hear him whispering at my ears asking me not to worry and rest first. my heart is warmed definitely. i received all the care and concern from my family, friends, colleagues and loved ones, a big thank you really. i am recovering well for sure with all your blessings. THANK YOU. :)

our new home is arriving soon, hopefully in october.
it is gonna be an exciting october for us. how about your october?
i am confident about your future success in everything you do.
I have faith in you. LOOK FORWARD & don't ever look back at the past.
Short terms problems can be solved. Think positive & the Universe will receive & accept your positive signals for sure.
I may sound ironic but trust me, I have been constantly reminding myself about the 'Law of Attraction'. It works for me most of the time at least (I swear) & it will definitely work on you.
God is fair.
You work hard towards your personal goals and he will give you your desired returns.
You think positive and he will make you a happy person.
Why not try it now and I bet you will feel energized & positive every start of a fresh day.
Recently, I am into skincare research and been reading up forums on recommendations & stuffs.
Probably because I am stepping into wedding preparations now and hope that i will have flawless skin on my wedding day. :)
And probably due to work stress, my skin has been very 'tense' & dull and have frequent pimple/acne breakouts on my chin & cheek areas. *sobs* Super duper depressed to the maximum!
I am under a facial package program only this year (never step into facial parlors for donkey years!). My beautician put me on chemical peel once every few weeks and the usual facial routine with cleansing, extractions & masking. My skin tends to be dry especially after the peel and friends will notice my skin is quite dry and sees cracks sometimes.Being the kiasu me, I bought facial products, different masks etc on my daily skincare routine. I bet these products had cost me few hundreds already. *heartpain!* What to do~ I'm not born to have flawless skin.....*a big sigh*
So, daily skincare routine is crucial especially NOW!
Back-to-basics starts from.....
1) Makeup Removal
Every girl puts on makeup almost daily and makeup removal is a must-do no matter how tired you are. I personally tried a few brands before. Used FANCL cleansing oil for the longest time (almost 2 years) and maybe my skin is quite immune to it & it started to have breakouts.
Changed to Biore Water Based Makeup remover and the makeup can be easily washed off.
Available at Watson's.
Biore Eye Makeup remover is SUPERB. A 10-cent size and a swipe on each eye, the eyeliner & mascara are gone! Highly recommended. :)
Read thru a forum review and I am now trying my 1st bottle - Cleaning Express!
A moisturizer (cum toner) that prevents recurring blemishes & lighten acne scars!
It has AC control oil which helps to seal the moisture into your skin. Has Vitamin C & other brightening ingredients that heal blemishes, lighten acne scars (i hope) and help to prevent pockmarks.
6) Smoothening
The last step.
Put on your night whitening cream or water sleeping pack and say goodnight with smooth, refreshed skin!
That's the simple 6 steps I am doing now and let's look forward to excellent results on my skin & yours too! :)
When confidence level drops, the fear level increases. Low confidence = low self-esteem?
Is that what others have been sharing is true? To undergo a stage of pre-marriage fear subconsciously?
Mind seem to be alil messy lately. When I look myself into the mirror, I don't feel good at all. I feel ugly. I feel fat. All I need now is just a comforting voice, a comforting hug.
Emotions kick in unplanned and unintentionally. Perhaps only women will behave this way ocassionally and men will never understand why.
Another year has past and I am a year older this year. My last year of birthday celebration as a Single. =)
Thankfully, he doesn't have to be deployed overseas this year. And, I had a great simple birthday celebration full of LOVE with my loved ones.
The yearly celebration affair with my lovely colleagues. A big birthday card with everyone's blessings, angpow and birthday cake!
A planned birthday meal(s) just both of us.
The handmade birthday card from him. This is his first time making a card for me.
I teared the moment i received the card. My dearest, thanks and muacks! :)
A surprise birthday cake and presence from Partner & her family.
She wasn't feeling well that day and she went all the way to JP to handmade a bday cake and rushed over to surprise me. Thanks for the effort & surprise Partner. Will never forget! =)
A yearly celebration from my family
They specially made a trip to NP to buy me a cake. MUACKS!
My advance birthday celebration @ Yin's place
And not forgetting those who wished me Happy Birthday!
I am blessed to be surrounded with many lovely friends who remember my birthday.
Since my last post I haven't been doing much research for my wedding. Guess it's probably still quite some time away... Friends around me are getting a lil excited and can't wait for that special day to come and it is always them who got me excited to do research about my wedding. Haha!
It's really heartwarming to hear comments like "I can't wait to see you in your wedding gowns!", "I can't wait to see you walk the isle with Angus!", "I am getting more excited than you!" etc etc...
Well so.., their excitement has gotten us settled our bridal package & hotel venue, for now at least. I believe I have a lot more time to research the rest as the date draws near. Hehe!
My bestie has emailed me some of her wedding pictures and she is really gorgeous!!! :)
Bestie has tied her knot with DX on 23 Jan and I am so so sooooooo happy for them!
I almost teared that day (of course I controlled!) when I see them so loving.....!
The Loving Couple & Us

My dear bestie, thank you for being my best friend for the past 10 years and let's keep our friendship even stronger as years go by ok?! I'm very happy that you have found your Mr. Right and yes indeed, you both are soooooo compatible!
Not everyone knows I have a god-daughter. Yes, I own her since 3 years ago. :)
I wouldn't say I am likable to all the kids out there but for her specially, we have great chemistry! :)
Indeed feels like a "mum" when she greets me Godma. Feels like a "mum" when I carry her, hold her hands. Thanks Amber, for accepting me as your Godma, and not forgetting her Mummy G. :)
She's my little precious cutie pie. She never fail to make me smile everytime I am with her.
Her nonsensical character simply lighten up my mood! :)
My little precious, Godma loves you! :) Grow up healthy, smart and be filial to your Daddy, Mummy! You have a beautiful face and Godma is confident you will charm all the handsome guys out there. haha! MUACKS!!!!

During the festive seasons, everyone in the office just have no mood to work [oopss, sorry my company]. We have reaped well and of course, we are doing a good closure to 2010. That explains the slacks, haha...
I have been searching high & low for my new wallet and every time I visited the store, they will apologize to me, "Sorry Miss, the wallet is out of stock".
Thanks to Aunt Amy, she got it for me at DFS Changi! Muacks~
I'm happy to welcome 2011 with my new wallet. Hahaha!
It's been almost 6 months since I last blogged. Sorry!!!! :P
I have to admit I am very lazy to blog. Even my boyfriend still click on my weblog sometimes, wondering if there r some updates to read about (even though he sees me almost everyday)
How's everybody!!???
I trust that all my loved ones & friends are doing very well & good, so am I! :)
2010 is coming to an end real soon (yes! again..)
Sometimes, friends will call me and ask me "how's life? How are you? When getting married?"
Yes, such heartwarming questions.
Smiles all over!
and a wonderful relationship with my perfect boyfriend....
I would comment year 2010 is a smooth & good year for me at least.
Happy love life, good friends and colleagues surrounding me. Stable career.
To wrap up my 2010 year, I would say I am contented.
Rather, I am very looking forward to 2011.

thanks for making the effort to make 11th june once again a memorable one.
i love your plan. it's wonderfully perfect. it's not about the venue nor the ambience, it's all about just you and me spending this special day together. :)

It's only 3 days and I'm already missing you so badly. It's only the month of June and I have to wait till August to finally see you, hug you and kiss you. It may b just 2 months but it seem like 2 years to me. Dread the waiting period seriously. :( I promise you I will take good care of myself. I promise I won't overwork. I promise to have my proper meals. I promise to be happy. I promise to be independent while you r away. I promise you I will. :) I'm counting down everyday, reminding myself that you will be back very soon and I know it's real soon. Soon, it will be July. Soon, it will be my birthday. Soon, it will be National Day. Soon, it will be 11th Aug. I'm waiting patiently for you my dearest... Missing you!
It's not about the awkwardness, it's about the uneasiness.
Time flies and 2 yrs had past on. It's a final full stop set 2 yrs ago and I would think it was a good ending. Life goes on differently for everyone of us. Be it good or bad, it's all over.
No matter what you think of Jolene, I allow your imaginations to hit beyond your limits. I just want to b my true self.
currently on a week's mc. just had my wisdom teeth removed. yes all four at one go. the surgery was successful, thanks to the surgeon, doctors and nurses at ktph. no severe pain so far, thankfully. i am definitely blessed, very blessed. blessed to have my dear boyfriend be by my side. i feel loved to have him beside me the moment i woke up from my surgery. i can feel his strokes on my forehead. i can hear him whispering at my ears asking me not to worry and rest first. my heart is warmed definitely. i received all the care and concern from my family, friends, colleagues and loved ones, a big thank you really. i am recovering well for sure with all your blessings.
