Eesh.. here I am sitting in the office, attending to 'nice' customers' phone call, trying to rush for my datelines and projects also.. what a to-do.. my desk been scattered with paperwork, some wires (if counting mouse wire, earphone and hands-free hehe).. it is such a MESS!
No bother.. cos I'm realli out of topic. Why the title? Easy! Cos I miss the holidays... yup, the magic word is HOLIDAY. Chinese is 假期/放假; Malay is CUTI; Cantonese is Fong Kar/Kar Khei; Hokkien.. Umm.. dunno wor..
This year's Christmas.. I would say it's a good one and is also not a really good one. Let me start with the good ones:
1) My brother-in-law came to Singapore for a few days
2) I gave out the Christmas pressies to my dearest colleagues, friends, family in Singapore.
3) Finally I get the time to recharge my battery
4) Meeting up with a long-time-no-see family (the Changs)
5) Traveling East to ECP for mouth-watering seafood
The not really good ones:
1) We just met my brother-in-law 1 day only
2) It's a rainy Christmas eve
3) Not enough days for me to recharge
4) Miss my friends and my family on Christmas day
5) Miss my car
I suppose the Good ones are already strong points to stand on their own, especially point 1. Actually, I really don't wanna say it out de, but I think say it out would make me feel lighter and better. That day he and wife came to Singapore, my hubby already called him and say 7pm to wait somewhere at Bukit Panjang LRT de.. actually I don't know what is being communicated between the 2 brothers, cos I just follow the group. Which also means I don't know 7pm is DECIDED to meet up.
Ok, so I took a nap at 3 something.. then woke up at 5 something PM.. then i surf net do my own thing, then going to 6pm I shower lor.. so when his phone rang at 7pm, then they (which inc. my cousin-in-laws) only realise they are late for the meet up *they napped like pigs also, hehe*. So they ask to wait for us to reach there..
When we reach destination already it's already 730pm. We step out of the ticket gates, meet the bro-in-law then the wife face.. black like black sesame, fake weak smile.. I'm thinking *uh-ohh.. we are in trouble* Nvm, we then walk to BPP for dinner. When ordering the face also black like before.. then she didnt talk much, which this is very unusual for us. To us she always has a lot to talk about especially to my mom-in-law; but that night.. wahlao TOTALLY DIFFERENT PERSON!
Ok lor.. we knew it's our fault so we just kept quiet in silent. Then as we knew my bro-in-law like to eat seafood, so we did offer to bring him to ECP which he seemed interested despite the 1 hr train journey. So we did tell him that on Saturday 27th Dec we will bring him there. When SATURDAY came, my cousin-in-law received SMS from him saying they have changed their plans to visit Night Safari.... *pengz*
Fine lor.. still wanna be angry at us during your stay in Singapore.. what attitude is that? That is not called Holiday, its actually Dooms Day.. so calculative.. spoilsport.. HAH!
Ok la.. back to the logical side I know it is not good of us to delay your time. But, as one be open-minded a bit is not a big deal. Traveling is about letting everything go, try to enjoy the holidays as much as you can, not thinking about work etc. Just 1 mistake which make you change plans suddenly, it can create a bigger misunderstanding de lor..
Hmm end of story. Actually in the end, we did go to ECP, exc the 2 person only.. Shiok also, cos finally can eat the crab.. YUM!

我是个 ViRGO
●处女座(8/24~9/22)
☆感情路理智行
处女座的人，也许不是最浪漫的情人，但他们善于察言观色，对于情人的需要和喜怒一清二楚。虽然钟爱对方，但绝对不会毫无节制的宠爱对方，懂得反省和节制，是处女座自认最成功的地方，这样的特质再搭配犀利的洞悉力，使得他们成为最精明的情人。
在感情的道路上，处女座的男女很少会吃第二次亏。如果他们在感情路上挫败，必定记取教训，试着永不再犯错而且愈是一波三折的情感，就愈令他们理智。独身主义在处女座的人看来，其实并不是什么可怕的事，对于恋爱，他们永远不会冲昏了头，盲目的失去了方向。
处女座的人，虽然挑剔唠叨，但一点也不现实，他们欣赏有气质、涵养和~华的对象，不管到头来是否真正能速配成功、长长久久。风象星座的宝瓶座、双子座和天秤座，水象星座的天蝎座，火象星座的狮子座以及土象星座的金牛座，都有可能和处女座的男女擦出爱的火花。不过双鱼座、巨蟹座的滥情、白羊座的莽撞和自私及摩羯座的自律沈闷和不擅长表达，都不会是处女座会心仪的对象。
☆因为包容，才能相守
处女座的人，都不大好相处，想与他们厮守一生，要有包容和体谅的美德。处女座的配偶，善于疲劳轰炸，对于日常生活的琐事，可以细分归类，然后再如数家珍的一一道来。如果你不喜欢倾听，又没有耐心，那么处女座的配偶，可就会对你大失所望，抱怨连连了。
个性相当务实的处女座男女，一旦结了婚，都能定下心来好好经营一个家。强调分工、公平和责任制度的处女座，家事料理得一丝不苟。凡事秉持原则的处女座，很少因为爱而破例，或是违背自己的信念，因此对于另一半的要求，也相当严苛。
土象星座的金牛座、摩羯座，因为本身也相当重视家庭，而且稳健负责，所以会是称职的另一半，不过处女座喜欢品味好、有智慧又具有才华的对象，所以被双子座、天秤座、天蝎座和狮子座吸引的可能性也不小。
至于处女座性格上死对头的白羊座、射手座也有可能因争执而擦出爱的火花。温驯的双鱼座、巨蟹座，则是人人都会喜欢的理想伴侣，只要处女座能容忍他们博爱和到处留情，在相处上还是会很愉快的。
☆诚意创造友谊
生性谨慎的处女座，绝不会滥交朋友。事事求秩序的他们，由于具备了相当过人的分析能力及批判性，因此虽然朋友不多，但绝对都是能经得起时间考验的好朋友。对于经营人际关系不甚积极的处女座人士，很少会主动和人打交道，就连一般性的交际应酬和联谊活动，也不大提得起兴趣。
处女座的人，对于别人通常需要经过一段长时间的相处之后，才能产生信任，因此和处女座的人交往，诚意最重要，排场和过分慷慨的殷勤，反而会引来他们的不安，怀疑对方别有用心。
同是土象星座的金牛座、摩羯座，虽然性格特质与处女座类似，但由于三者都不善于主动经营友谊，所以除非因工作、住家、就学等地缘之便，否则很?艭E在一起，不过只要能有时间共处，成为好朋友的可能性极大。
天秤座的优雅和知性，会深深吸引处女座，两人一旦在一起相约，会有如沐春风之感。双子座和双鱼座、巨蟹座，也因个性随和好相处，会是和处女座相知共游的好伙伴。火象星座的白羊座、狮子座及射手座，个性大方慷慨、相当乐观好客，又擅长主动出击，所以能最快把握和处女座结交相识的机会，不过他们的粗鲁、骄傲和直率，最后可能令处女座的人敬而远之。
☆只有死党才是玩伴
一般来说，处女座的人，兴趣都不广泛。他们习惯专注在一件事情，或少数兴趣、嗜好上，所以玩伴也不多。基本上，玩伴这个名词，在处女座的人看来，争议性还是相当大的，因为在他们眼中，只有永久的朋友，没有暂时或过度时期的玩伴。
假设处女座的人，真的想放松自己出去走走，他们最先想到的，铁定是自己的家人和身边那些数得出来的好朋友。对务实又死心眼的处女座女性来说，好朋友还应兼任玩伴，也要倾听他们倾倒情绪垃圾。男性的处女座人士，则是“女伴”多于“玩伴”，对他们而言，女伴不一定是玩伴，玩伴也不见得就是女伴。
火象星座的射手座、狮子座、白羊座，敢玩又疯狂，会令处女座的人怕怕，偶尔为之也许能觉得新奇有趣，但长久下来，则会令处女座的人产生不安。
喜欢知性对谈和倾听的天秤座、口才好又才华独具的双子座、兴趣广泛的射手座及气质独具的巨蟹座，都会是处女座理想玩伴的最佳人选。摩羯座和天蝎座，由于是不折不扣的工作狂，喝杯咖啡、看场电影，在他们看来，就是难得的娱乐了，因此很难与处女座的人聚在一起玩个痛快。
处女座和同星座的人，倒是奇迹般的可以彼此玩在一起，不过也只限于浅交，其他的默契仍有待加强。
☆互补为成功之本
尽责、谨慎的处女座，很少会怠慢工作、打混摸鱼。当别人都在盘算如何能不着痕迹的偷懒时，处女座的人则在操心如何能在规定时间内，提早完成计划。
处女座理想的共事伙伴，则端看工作性质的不同而有所区分。处女座的人聪颖冷静、思维敏捷，但行动力及冒险精神差了一些，因此需要火象星座人士的果敢、积极来帮助他们完成应有的工作，白羊座、狮子座、射手座的人，最适合打头阵的冲锋工作。
适合担任内勤、幕僚和分析规划工作的处女座，碰上了同是土象星座的摩羯座、金牛座和处女座，能更有效率的完成预定目标。
处女座的人另一个弱点是缺乏创作力，因此需要藉助双子座的灵敏、双鱼座的创意及射手座的鬼才点子来弥补自己本身的不足。
而处女座敏锐的观察力、善于评估事情正反面的性格，一旦碰上了理智和逻辑性强的天秤座，共事起来阻力小，成就感及价值认同也大。
以上只是一个比喻，也许是真的吧.. 有些处女座的特质我也许会有，只是我自己看不到而已。你们认为呢?

圣诞节
哦...还有三天就要庆祝圣诞节了!
其实很期待这一天的来临. 很奇怪, 这明明不是华人过年但为什么我会那么期待它呢？说实话，我觉得圣诞节每一次给我的感觉是很平静，很温暖，相似和最亲爱的家人团聚在一起..再听一听圣诞歌心情也舒畅了许多..
很可惜，这次的圣诞节我无法和家人庆祝了..只好呆在新加坡与先生一起度过.我其实是可以去 Orchard 倒数,但我是不太想在人挤人的情况下对着氧气挣扎.. 哈哈.. 也可以顺便在家补充精神, 三天前上班也会累的咧!
大家的 Christmas Shopping 作好了吗? 我也收了不少的礼物,很开心哦！
Merry Christmas everyone!

A Date to Remember
6th December 2008... a date which looks other than normal to you. Well, to me it isn't, as this is a special date for me. On this very day, after 1030am I'm officially a Mrs Leong (umm, not yet in Chinese tradition actually, haven't Zum Cha maa)
I remembered so well on how we booked this date for the ceremony. I would say it isn't a last minute booking or something we have not discussed, it's just that we knew this will happen one day so.. why not make it happen? A few reasons which we make it happen: 1) We've been together for so long, 2 hands can count.. 2) We are currently staying together and working in Singapore. Before this we always go back to our own homes, and we are quite attached to our families. 3) Parents, friends, relatives.. most knowing we're together for long time, therefore feeling the pressure is normal..
Actually I do not have bad feelings on why isn't my husband kneel down and propose with an engagement ring and a bouquet. (Although it is a dream come true, and it is every girl's wish to be proposed :) We just.. know that sooner or later we will have to tie the knot. Yeah, sounds so unromantic, right? Actually, ok what... as long as he got my ring with the correct size.. takkan got the wrong size, then during ceremony the ring cannot go in.. how ah.. wear at pinky finger mehh.. if really like that I dunno how to dig a hole and hide myself (or rather.. my husband) LOL
Anyway, 6th Dec 2008 is a good date.. with my dad already back from Jakarta.. everyone's present and not occupied.. I felt very lucky indeed liao. Quite easy to remember too, 6 x 2 = 12; 6th Dec is 3 days before we went to Australia and Japan in separate ways.. ok la..
Alot are wondering: why these 2 going on holiday separately? Of course, there is another story. His company will travel to Japan as company trip for 10 days. Unfortunately outsiders or spouses etc cannot join, cos it's a COMPANY TRIP.. how SICK is that? I have no choice but to go traveling myself.. ALL BY MYSELF.. just lucky again that I have friends staying in Perth and Melbourne. Next year, his company got company trip AGAIN, what about ME? Go to Australia and see the same sunshine again? PUH-LEASE!!
Anyway, the ROM ceremony went on smoothly. Both our families and friends were there to witness this magical day. After ceremony we went to Hotel Concorde for Hi-Tea buffet, which the spread is really good. At 3:30pm we proceed to Orchid Park to snap some pre-wedding shoots ala outdoor photography style. We're still waiting for the rest of the shots to be delivered to us, so these are the ones which we have in our camera. Hope you can be patient and enjoy the ones we have.
More to come.. will update again once we have the images. Can't wait to see those!
