The morning of the wedding

Don't know what we were looking at, probably laughing at the sabotages on the groomsmen by the bridesmaids...Logan was getting overly excited and getting under everyone's feet so my mom shoved him in the room and closed the door and he got so annoyed he peed near the door! We had to clean it up (while the sabos were going on) and in the end I had to carry him the whole time so he can look at what's going on but not get in anyone's way.

We always knew she would be the first one to be married! Haha! In fact we said she would get married at 18! Heh.Diana says Eugene and I look alike in this photo - super alike in the way we laugh out loud! Heh!
Alright I'm actually dead busy at work but thought I'd take a break and post a few pictures! Will post more when I get more. There are a few on Facebook already...

Random pics

Drats, I am going to KL this weekend after all! GAH! So I am off to Jakarta 24 - 26 July, to KL for a day on 26 July, back to SG on 27 July before going back to KL/Genting from 28 July - 3 August. The only consolation is that I will get back to SG on the day of SingFest Day 2 - in time to see Jason Mraz and Alicia Keys!

Some random pictures that were taken ever since I was back. G was playing at a charity gig with some of his friends at a church event yesterday. Turns out my colleague Dawn goes to that church and was actually helping her mom at the pasta stall at the carnival while G was playing. Shame I didn't see her though!

I imagine while on the road, if I have time and internet access I might blog on my bored evenings but it looks like I'll be up and about at 9am and going back to sleep at midnight! I am just afraid my ole body cannot tahan the intensity of the schedule and not get my regular 8 hour sleep might wreak havoc on the skin. Bleah!

Stuff....

You would have noticed I have been less than diligent in updating this blog. I..... forgot..

Yes, I hang my head in shame. There are days where I actually forgot I still have this blog, and there are some of you out there who do check back every now and then and asking 'How come you so long never blog ah?'

I've been dead busy with work! Sigh, like I said, these few weeks salary super 'pai tan'. Busy like never before, coz I got landed with some horrible mess that my Indo office made and had to step in, take charge and help to whip things to shape. I wasn't originally going to go into Jakarta - my boss was - but she has asked me to go along with her next week as she will probably need more hands on deck. There's one more stop - KL - before the gig is in SG, and now she's thinking of getting me to go into KL as well but nooooooooooo, it's on a Saturday and I treasure me weekends! Boo!

In any case while work week has been busy, weekends are also generally quite event-filled. Through no deliberate planning sometimes, G & I have found things to fill our weekends. Last weekend, we went to get my car a portable vacuum cleaner coz the damn car is just too dusty. We also went to get those plastic bags where you can put your bulky winter wear in and suck the air out of it for easy storage. My winter clothes are STILL in a box as well as my CDs, but for CDs, I am now trying to bring about 30 - 50 to the office every day so eventually I can finish up that box too.

Anyway, bimbo me decided to share two beauty products I got recently!!
http://www.smashbox.com/O-GLOW-INTUITIVE-CHEEK-COLOR

I first found out about this product when an ex-colleague tried to get me to get this in HK for her and she asked for 4 tubes coz her colleagues wanted it! The brand is available in HK but this product is perpetually sold out! The sales people said it has been out of stock with them not really knowing when the next batch will come. So when my ex-colleague had another friend going into the US for a holiday, that friend managed to buy a whole bunch back. I tried it this morning - the tube oozes clear gel so when I first saw it I was like 'eh isn't this a blusher, how come clear one?" and I thought it needed to be shaken lor. Duh. The moment you apply this to your cheek, it turns pink! LIKE MAGIC! Taa-daah! Quite cool but I think I'm too dark coz I had to put quite a fair bit for the colour to show. But still, clear gel that turns into blusher! I was duly impressed.

The next which I heard much about from my sister and decided to try is this:

I have very short eyelashes. I got them permed in HK before I headed back coz I had some vouchers to use up. Even after they were permed, they weren't that obvious even with lengthening mascara. Darn. This apparently promises results so I had another friend get it for me at a discount so at $55, this bloody thing better grows my eyelashes!!!

Feeling rather crabby today coz I've been sniffling (sinus) the whole damn day!
