Preparation for Wedding - Part 2
We are also having our first official meeting with the helpers this Saturday. I'm sad to say that many of them can't make it but we will carry on with our plan and do whatever we can first. We had already noted down the agendas and draft the actual day itinerary for further amendments. Seems like we are well prepared but there are still lots of things awaiting for us to settle.

Happy Chinese New Year Day 8 - 15
Day 10
Day 11
Day 13
After the event, I met ShengYi and Winson for a drink (non-alcohol). Been some time since we last met. Hang around till 12 plus then took cab home.
Day 14
Haha, I went to the NATAS fair but too bad I didn't managed to book my honeymoon as the itinerary for November 2010 is not out yet. So I've to wait for the next fair to enjoy the discount. Met AhDe, XiaoTong and Cherilyn to make spectacles and I made one for myself too. I bought a retro plastic matte spectacles. I shall post it up once I gotten it. Next we went to Hougang de NTUC Xtra to purchase our steamboat food. It was a last minute decision. As usual, we left over alot of food. Thanks to Weihong who bought the YuSheng to Laogong's home.
Day 15
Last day of Chinese New Year. No celebration with my family. So we planned to go Fullerton Square to take pictures of the sculptures that I saw on the newspaper. Next we went to Marina Barage to fly kite. So many people pinicing there and flying kite. This is my first time flying a kite with my Laogong but I'm more experience than him as I flied twice before when I was young. I hope I wont get tanned. I realised that actually it is quite romantic to fly a kite together with someone you love and it is a money saving activity.

Happy Chinese New Year Day 1 - 7
Day 1
They are my nephews, do they look alike?
Day 2
It's my turn to visit my Laogong's families, so I went to his AhYi's home. They also had a mini gathering so we stayed there till evening before proceeding to ZhiMing's home. I played mahjong and had dinner there. At 9pm, we reached 春到河畔 for walk walk and photo taking. To my disappointment, this year decoration was plain so we didn't take any pictures. And since it's only 12 midnight, they came to my home to continue our gambling session. We ended at 3am.
Day 3
My mummy invited her relatives to my home for a little gathering and big gambling. And it's day 3 without enough rest and my room, I'm already super tired. I'm too weak to entertain the guests. So I stayed in my parents' room to play Monopoly with AhDe, XiaoTing and Laogong. And the winner is Miss XiaoTing. Haha, too bad it's not real money.
Day 4
Business reopen and I've to report to work. I'm like half-dead, dragging myself to work. Luckily it's not very busy as some of my clients are still having their holidays. During our lunchtime, my boss invited the lion dance troupe to perform as it symbolises good luck and fortune to the business. And not forgetting to thank you my boss for the 开工红包.
After work, I meet my Laogong and we went to Yishun to 补运. Around 10.15pm, we left and meet ShaoQun & girlfriend at Loyang to 拜拜. Since we had not have our dinner, we went Changi Airport T3 de Kopitiam for dinner and coffee at YaKun. We were there till 12 plus, as if the next day, we are not working. How I wish so.
Day 5
Quarrelled with mummy. She said I selfish. So what if I'm selfish after all I chose that room to be mine. And why should I borrow her my comb, my shoes, my hairband to her? Though she is a guest but it's so unfair.
Day 6
Have you been to a chalet with 4 bedrooms with a living room, a kitchen and a porch for BBQ?Make a guess where is it? Yes i did, I was there with Cherilyn after my work and Laogong joined us later in the night. We played mahjong till 4am before going home to sleep.
The answer is Aloha Loyang.
Day 7
It is everyone birthday today. Happy Birthday! Are you celebrating it with your family to 'Lou Hei'?
Not for me as I went to Melody's birthday party in the afternoon. And we played; blackjack, monopoly and mahjong throughout the night. During the monopoly game, I learn integrity as my core value from a little girl (AhDe's cousin). So funny and cute, in the world of her own. I also took pictures with the balloons as if I'm the one who is celebrating my 21st birthday. Conclusion of the event, it was fun though my Laogong left me there for work.
My scandal and me celebrating my imaginary 21st birthday,
that was like 2 years ago.

My Legs Are Aching
How long have you not been to the zoo? "Zoo" reminds me of a song. We're going to the zoo zoo zoo, how about you you you.. You can come too too too, we're going to the zoo zoo zoo..
And yes, I went to the zoo before Chinatown. We didn't visit all the animals as we were there six months ago. Must be thinking why we kept going to the zoo. It's because it's free entry up to 4 pax, company's pass.
It's a fruitful Sunday but I'm burnt and my legs are aching.
Don't irritate my pipi, Otter!

Goodbye Grandma
I was there throughout for the whole preparation and ceremony. Everyone packed their feelings and prepared the best for my grandma. My grandma was worried that her funeral wake is not grand enough but my uncles and aunties tried to fulfill her final wishes. They bought her a nice coffin, ordering enough food and beverages and bands to play music on the final day. And most importantly a proper praying ceremony for her with most of her children, grand children, great grand children attending. I think it is not a matter of having a grand funeral wake for her, her "grand" means to have her total of 100 children, grand children, great grand children, great great grand children sending her off. But too bad, not everyone is able to see her off.
I didn't cried because I know it is ageing problem. Nature takes its place, people will get old and will leave the world someday. I may look emotionally stable however on the last day of the funeral, I kept going to my grandma to see her. I know this is my last chance. The moment the mortician shut the lid of the coffin, my tears rolled down my cheeks. Everyone stayed silent throughout till we reached Mandai crematorium. I hate to go through the process when your beloved ones being sent to cremate. Everyone burst out, crying out loud, including myself.
It had been 10 days after her death. Everything is back to normal. I should packed my feelings and work harder for the years ahead. She will be blessings each and every of us. 阿弥陀佛!

My Dearest Gandma
Finally my cousin can't bear to see her suffering so he decided to fetch grandma home and look after her by himself and his family. And she was sent to his home by ambulance yesterday afternoon. We are really thankful to him. Without him, my grandma couldn't fulfil her wish (which is to go home rather than ending her life at the old folks home). Usually older generation will have such thinking.
And so, my mummy had been visiting my grandma everyday as she sense that her days with us are countable. Today I also went to visit my grandma together with my mummy after work even though I'm tired. I'm afraid that it might be my last visit (sob sob). When I saw her, both her feet were bandaged, her eyes were closed (not because she is sleeping) and she could only drink. Her hands and legs were cold and her body was pale. My heart is aching and got the urge to cry out loud. But I know that my mummy is sadder than me so the more I shouldn't cry.
Yes, people will say that it is part and parcel of life but who bear to see their closest kin to leave them. I'm cherishing every moment with my grandma now though she doesn't know is her granddaughter beside her holding her hands. I hope those people reading my blog will also cherish every moment with their family before it is too late. Don't live with regrets.
Ah Ma, 你将会留下一个最完美的回忆在我心里。
