Back to the normal 'routine'

Im glad to be home after a long 13 days holiday from Japan.I guess this should be my longest holiday ever.I have never been anywhere more than 10 days apart from going back to Malaysia

If you ask me hows Japan? my answer will be TIRED, HECTIC,VEXHAUSTED.. but FUN

So much to blog about in Japan,but i have no time for it...please wait for my updates on Japan once i caught up with my work,clear up all the paperwork n etc..

J & J (Joan and Johnny's wedding)

what a busy weekend for the past 3 days.I was seriously dead tired towards the end of Sunday evening.

A great hens night party at 200 neo apartment in the city.All thanks to the lovely ladies .Im seriously getting more and more ideas after attending so many hens and weddings lately.The first hens i organised 3 years ago for Stepy would consider as a failure after attended so many beautiful and creative  hens.Im felt sorry for Step for not being able to organize a better hens for her.I wish i would have done better !

We had so much fun at the hens,apart from celebrating the last few nights for the bride.We got to know some of the bride.s close friends from different countries!It was amazing how a party can pull  off so successfully just by communicating through whatspp. Social media can really do wonders!

The wedding on Sunday was held in Gum Gully Farm at mount dandenong. .I would say this is a multinational wedding .The broom(Johnny) was originally from shanghai,so lots of his relatives traveled all the way from china for the wedding.Was interesting to see vow and speeches being translated in mandarin by translator.

The couple has really raised the bar for wedding! from decorations to food,every little details were well organised! Lots of hard work being done by the bride.Although we are in the decor team,but the ideas and materials were all prepared by the bride herself ! Overall,the Wedding portrayed the character of the couple - fun and relaxing. I will let the the pictures do the remaining talking..

The above pic taken from someone's instagram.Beautiful bride.Good Job Shannon for capturing such a nice pic!

This is one of the most interesting part of the wedding.As the couple are both movie lovers.The team has organised games related to movie scene.The couple has to mimic the kissing scene from different movies we have chosen.Pic above is the notebook.

Last but not least,my Polaroid pic with the pretty and cute bride of the day!

We went over to Brenda's house for dinner last night.Brenda just recently got redundant after working 9 years in an architecture firm.Brenda said she didn't know she was well paid and look after in the firm till she lost the job.Part of the reason she was redundant is because she didn't wanna to drag into the admin team as she thought with her skills and qualification doing admin work its just under utilizing her skill.I totally understand where aunt is coming from.she holds a master qualification asking her to do a no brainer job such as customer service its kinda of insulting .

Well ,we all know that its not easy to get a proper corporate job..if you currently holding a job you are indeed blessed! We all need to stop the mentality of complaining we are under paid,worked over time,company dint provide  sufficient entitlements and etc.. instead we should embrace the attitude of praising and thanks giving! 

Something i have learned is never ever compare yourselves with others who are better than you.the more you compare the more bitterness you will accumulate inside you.Instead, treasure what you have right and place your trust in God.

Yesterday at work i had a chat with two of my female colleagues.They are both at their early thirties and one of them just had a baby 8 months ago so the whole solid 20 minutes conversation was revolving around babies and pre/post natal pregnancy.

Right now im at the stage where all my friends/peers getting engaged or get married! I told Jo last night,oh this fri im going for a hen's night party and on Sunday i have a wedding to attend.The first response by Jo was,u have been to countless of hens night,when is yours coming? LoL.I dnt know! not sure will it even come true in 5 years time! Its kind of worry me sometimes,to see the progress of my friends around me going into rs,getting engaged ,married and have babies...etc..

Anyway,  I'm counting the days to Japan .2 more weeks,2 more weekends and i m flying off....im excited not because i want to see the shrines or soak in an onsen but the things that makes me looking forward is actually their food and cosmetic drugstore .Im so going to bring my empty luggage and buy as much as possible !  This shall be my first shopping holiday in a really long time as in recent years i have always go on beach vocation ,get tan and relax on the white sand the whole day and not really doing anything.

Easter Weekend

I seriously cant  believe 4 days of Easter holiday just passed  so quickly.Just a quick update on what I've been doing during the short break.

Thursday,was the most fun night ever! We went clubbing at crown.Was my first time to crown club.Seriously,i didn't expect it to be so fun! got to meet a few new friends,more importantly i saw my uni-mates there.Can you believe it,i haven't seen him for like 3 years after uni and the place we bumped into each other is in a club..tbh anywhere is better than seeing ur long lost friends in a club!

I always have good self- control upon myself when  going to club or bar.Its to avoid myself from doing stupid things which i would regret later on..I do admit on Thursday night  i did feel tipsy half of the night  and allowing myself to go loose. Dont worry guys,nothing serious happened,i just did something i wont have done when im conscious. Maybe this is part of the reason it was more fun than usual. lol.

                                         our new party fried from church-Amanda

I did some baking on Sat night too.It was to bring to church on Sunday.

Butter muffin with white chocolate topped with apple cinnamon popcorn.

Last but not least,thanks Adrian for treating my cousin and i a wonderful dinner feast at Pacific Ocean at South Yarra.The duck tastes super yummm
