A wonderful week of Chinese New Year Break
WOW...Time flies...my one week break for Chinese New Year is coming to an end.
Recalling...
1st day of CNY: Pay respect to grandpa, visited Mum's family and then Dad's family-My grandma.
2nd day of CNY: Spent time with little princess, my elder brother's daughter in the morning, then came home rest, blogging, and then visited Jason's house for YF Chinese New Year gathering. Had a great time!
3rd day of CNY: Went Sentosa 'sun tan with Joyce my best friend at the beach, had beer and our favourite Trapizza by the beach...WOW..I love this relax feeling...
Then went visitation at Gilbert my buddy's house with Lihwa. Its been years since I visited his place. And finally got to see and play with his son and chatted with his wife whom we haven't met for at least 2 years since they married.
4th day of CNY: Went Tree Top hiking with a friend. We started at MacRichie Reservoir. The distance to the entrance of the TreeTop Walk is approximately 4.5 km (1.5 - 2 hour walk) from the MacRitchie Reservoir Park and 2.5 km (45 mins - 1 hr walk) from the carpark at Venus Drive. Therefore, a round trip including the TreeTop Walk is about 7 to 10 km (3-5 hours depending on your walking pace).
On our way, we saw Squirrels, monkeys, big lizard and many artistic trees. I love the feel in this place. I was telling my friend that I like this place. Its so simple and peaceful. Its really hard to imagine what is outside this peaceful place. This simple and peaceful place is actually surrounded by the complex world..stepping out of these bushes, you will seem to enter from the simplicity into the complexity...
Thus I enjoy every moment of this hike, even tho it takes us hours to finish off the entire hiking...but we are happy.
I should really take some time to enjoy this type of peace more often. It really refreshes the soul.
But of cuz this is not a good place for woman to come alone, I must say. :)
Yesterday i.e. 5th day of CNY: Brought my 2 godsons out for lunch at MacDonalds.
Then the elder one return to school for his basketball activities, while the younger one went to watch the movie "Wedding Game" with me. There after, I head for my classes at unicampus.
That's about it.
I am soooooooo looking forward to the party at Joyce's place tonite. I can get to meet all my bala (clubbing) kakis there tonite. Its been a long time since we last meet. I sooooooooo missed them :)
See you, gotta get ready for class and dress up for tonite...looking pretty..hee..
Cheers :) Hope you have a happy holiday too!
If not, wishing you a happy weekend!
See you around sometime ;)

1st Day of Niu Year
After a long wait..
Finally came the first day of Niu year!
How did you spend your first day of Niu Year this year?
Mine was good...
As usual, becuz we slept really late on Chinese New Year eve after the Reunion Dinner which is traditionally steamboat everyone..We would normally sleep till pretty late the next year.
We had an aunt and her daughters visiting us slightly before lunch...
and then we got ourselve all dressed up with new clothings, new bags, new shoes etc..as chinese believe that in the new year, not only should we keep our house as good as new, thats why we will normally do a thorough spring cleaning before Chinese New Year, and we will want everything new too..that will represent a good new start for a brand new year..throwing away all the old and whatever unhappiness or things which are no good, putting on or keep only what is good.
In Church, we were reminded to keep renewing our heart as well, to renew our relationship with God, fill our heart with goodness, faithfulness, kindness, love, happiness and so on..
Back to where I was...
After getting ready, pretty and shiny, my family and I first went to pay respect to my grandpa at All Saints...To us, we value family value very much...thus it good to be reminded and give thanks to God for having my grandpa back with Him in heaven now enjoying eternal happiness, and also remember the goodness of my grandpa as well.
Thereafter, we visited my mum's family as usual....
Our little princess was very happy yesterday...she was smiling to everyone and well behave as usual...I am very happy too..becuz I can get to play with her alot yesterday...hee..
We went to visit my favourite grandma (my dad's mum) after that. Shortly after our arrival, the rest of our HUGE family came....the house was filled with joy, laugher and children running around...I love the warm feeling of family...
the only thing which probably could have made this better is, if my grandma had a bigger house to accompany her HUGE family.....She is indeed very blessed with many children and grandchildren and now great grandchildren...
After visiting grandma, its a tradition to visit other relative's house and our house. So we decided to head home first to rest while waiting for my aunties, uncles and cousins to visit us.
That ends my first day of Chinese New Year. :)
I am really happy to have this one long week of break..which I haven't have for so long...thank you Lord...
If only I dun have classes this friday and sat, I would have gone somewhere for a short tour...cuz since I started my degree course, all my leaves are taken up for my exam and even having to advance annual leave just for my exams...so, as you can see, how precious this week is to me. :)
Thank you lord!

Thank God finally my Chinese New Year one week break has begun...
Even tho there are 2 classes tomorrow...

And I had to rush to have reunion dinner with my grandma and my family and relative.
Only my mum is preparing all the food..
I really hate it...
my poor mum had to do everything by herself.
If I got no class I sure will help her..
But tomo class is very important...last tutorial...focuzing on exam.
Thank God for extra blessings and grace esp during this point of time..
Jesus say "My grace is sufficient for you."
Indeed it is. Praise the Lord! Amen!
Today, my wish came true..I recieved the design project which I wanted very much and will be an added value to my design profile. Praise the Lord!
The meeting went well. This not only is an important design project and it will be ongoing...isn't this great?
Again praise the Lord!
Pray that God will give me wonderful inspiration to do great design for them :)

An Unique Week....
Having busy for past 3 days...running btw my office and Marina Mandarin Executive Centre..

Frank, our Germany VIP gave me and my bosses a treat tonite...
and I recommend the place to them...
All thanks to Helen, my wonderful church sister, Producer in CNA..who recommended this marvelous place to us.
We all fell in love with this place.Its called One Rochester.
Its a huge huge beautiful, romantic....(dunno how else can I describe this place....)
house at Rochester Park...
It the best dinning experience I had ever had...We just can't stop praising this place when we were there.
Its like you have entered into another world...
A totally relax world that you don't feel like going back into reality anymore...
The food was great...the service was great....The entire dinning experience was great!
We had our dinner at the garden area..which is so classy yet cozy.....its a WOW WOW WOW..
Here in the pic...you can see its beautiful...but you can never tell how fantastic this place is...till you experience it yourself...
I must say....THANK U HELEN again..hee...
I wanna go again...But of cuz this type of place I can't affort to go too regularly...just the dinner for 4, costed S$400 +++ , and of cuz thanks to Frank for his generous treat!!!
Tonite is wonderful! I love this job of mine..hahaha....
p.s. I will want to have my birthday there this year....if I can...but of cuz...I won't be able to affort giving treats there..unless I am a rich rich woman...which I probably wouldn't mind..giving my best friend and buddy a treat there if I am really rich..hee...
Or who knows...I will hold my wedding there...if I happen to meet a rich Mr. Right..hahaha.. :P
Thank you Lord for everything!
Love,
Angeline

Saturday Morning...
Woken up by an early sms around 8am in the morning...
Trying very hard to read the msg with my eyes hardly opened....
Its a sweet msg sent by my buddies in Auz...
Still can't figure out its from my godson's mum- Sandra or my godson's dad- Peter cuz it was sent by Peter's hp.
btw before I forgot "Hey Peter, Happy Belated Birthday! Sorry to miss your birthday yesterday! Wishing you a blessed birthday and year ahead ok! God bless you and your family!"
Okie back to where I was, Peter and Sandra bought me 3 bottles of honey from Auz. So sweeet of them. The honey is really effective for sore throat etc....
Thank you dear! Will call XXX to arrange to collect from him okie. :)
I am really blessed with so many people who love and care for me!!!
God is goood all the time.......(you know the song????)
Remember that Sandra grumble that I didn't read her blog which I told her I din during Christmas..but frankly speaking...Angie has been too busy....but trying hard to give time to every buddy and love ones of hers okie...
Finally got some time and read thru Sandra's blog today....
I love reading Sandra's blog..
Its simple yet very close to the heart.
Very real...
Tho its about what happen in her everyday life...but reading it is as if I was there with her...
It brings back memories that we have when I visited them and spent some time with them in Auz...that was few years back.
I wish I can visit them in near future...Now is quite hard...having all my leave spent on my exams...each semester will take up about 7 days of my leave...and each year 3 semester...
at the end...I will ended up owing my bosses leaves....
They didn't want me to take unpaid leaves....they enjoy me taking advance annual leave...and so that they are keep me for as long as possible...hee..
But my lady boss was very generous...she offset those leaves I owed them last year.
And when her hubby 'grumble'...she laughed and say...you scare Angeline won't owed you leaves next year meh??? Hee....
Then he replied "I looooove people to 'O-dan' me leaves....hahaha"
I like my two bosses...even tho there are some tension at certain time at work (which is very normal)...but they are very understanding, supportive and fun bosses to have.
Haha..now my office has a vacancy for shipping clerk..if you are interested can drop me a mail but do so asap okie...cuz I am temporarly helping out some of the roles so as to lighten my senior's job scope..
hee...that's also why I am feeling so tired....
But thanks to my new found favourite...
The anti-oxidant therapy....
It helps me feel better, healthier and fresher after sweating it out during each therapy...
removing those unwanting toxic in my body and improve my blood circulation.
Those who knows me..knows that my hands and feet's blood circulation is no good..
Oops! Its time to get ready for my OIS class today..
Ciao....

Different Chapter of Life
Life is like a story book...Separated in many different chapters...
Viewing my life..reading my blog..is as if reading a story book.
In previous chapters of this story book...there seems to be a climax..
and very Emo...
I guess it must be pretty exciting for many readers..esp at the struggling stage in chapters..
as they started to follow up closely reading each pages...giving their encouragements and shared their words of wisdom.
There are often major heros in storybooks and chapters...
Some is very prominent...some..in silence...
There are no doubts that we are blessed with lots of heros in our life, also what we known as angels given by God in our life.
They have certain impact in our life and brightens up our life ingredients.
However, sometimes heros has to be left at the previous chapter as their roles ended...
They might appear again perhaps in the later chapters in this book of mine..called Dance with Sketches.
Its not hard to notice that this chapter of my life has gone into happiness...and peace...
You probably won't get to see too many climax in this chapter...
But you probably can taste the little sweetness that comes from this chapter.
Frankly speaking...
As an author to this book or should I say sub-author becuz eventually God is the actual writter in our life..
I enjoy this chapter of my life right now...
and hope it will stay for long...
My story had too many climax.....and its exhausting to the soul after a long time, tho it might seems interesting to read..
No doubt each climax..is a stage of major growth.....
but there are times...when one would like to spend some time enjoying the peacefulness and the tender sweetness in life....
esp when the economic is going downwards....
The market is not doing well....
The more I am grateful that I am still able to enjoy a peaceful and happy life right now.
Blessed am I....
Thank You Lord for everything!
I like to take this chance to thanks all my readers for your past support and ask that you stay with me till the end of this book!
Cheers to all,
Angeline

Belated Christmas cum New Year Date
Haha...finally got to meet up with my bestfriend Joyce after not seeing each other for months since my last birthday?
Time really flies.
We went to Marriot to have Hi-Tea and did some CNY shopping.
I bought some bedsheets for my family and a few working tops for myself.
Supposed to exchange our Christmas present but Angie actually forgot to bring.
Had to pass Joyce the next day.
Joyce made for me this beautiful pair of earrings with limited edition Swarovski crystal. I look so sweet in it, see....hee...
