Hubby & I would like to specially thank our friends, colleagues, Church mates and family members that had blessed us with all these pressies...Thanks for all your love towards us!!

Nov updates - Pre Christmas Gifts

Hubby has been eyeing to get the iMac for our home sweet home last year. I remembered that we were at Maldives when we were having our honeymoon and we took some interesting pictures together using the iMac - 'Photo booth'. We love the effect so much and we instantly fell in love with iMac. It did not give us any good excuse to get one until hubby home desktop and my laptop 'Disappear'..hahahha...

I told hubby that I really need a PC at home to blog as new company laptop is not so convenient as before... Hubby surprised me on a few sat ago by getting the 24" iMac!!! Thrilled!!! Cool!! I was so excited about this new Mac! Though both of us are so used to PC but we don't mind going through the learning curve for iMac...is really worth while!!

Temporary placing it at our dinning table. Need to do up the study room for this!

We had dinner with PF and his folks, coming all the way to Singapore from Philippines and US. Hubby and I felt so honored to host them for dinner over at Por Kee (Tiong Bahru - famous Chinese Zhi Char Restaurant). PF's mum has been aging gracefully. At the age of 80++ and she is still strong!! Hopefully we can see them again next year!

In return, PF and his siblings were so thankful for us hosting them that night, PF, his brother and sister got us shirt from EdHardy!!

Steve's one month stay in Singapore

Steve finally arrived early morning last Saturday. He finished his exams a few days ago, and flew back immediately to reunite with us. I was not able to receive him from Airport last Sat, as hubby & I were back to hometown over the weekends. Hubby and I managed to catch up with him on Sunday after our make up church service with speaker: Pst. Mary Alice. Steve came back for the second time this year. He would spend his holiday with us for about a month plus. Hence, he will be able to attend my convo and also a family trip in weeks time to come!!

He had gotten me and hubby some pressie from Melbourne....so sweet of him.

Pre Birthday Celebration

Yesterday after Tuesday meeting (JE), I had an early celebration with all the JE leaders. It was my second year celebrating my birthday in JE zone. Really thank God for placing me in JE zone to serve His people. Jeremy has been very encouraging and a good role model of an effective worker of God. He is not only warm and helpful, encouraging, but he is really a reflection of God's love, mercy and grace. Under his leadership, I had learned to have more patience and really love God wholeheartedly and love His people fervently. He really teaches me to strike a balance in my walk with God, Family, career & also in my ministry. I am truely blessed too to serve God with the rest of the leaders in JE. I took some pictures with some of my leaders. They are my friends that encourage and pray with me when I am down.

Stephanie....she is one of the sweetest sister I have. I still remember our friendship started after the zone retreat in 2007. It was real great serving with such a prayerful sister.

From Left to right (Vicki: her sharing of her testimonies always encourage me to trust God more. God has been using her tremendously. Her sharing yesterday moved my heart to go extra mile for God and God has His great plans all laid up for us way way before we were borned), (Xueling: She is another sister that I look upon, always very caring and sweet to junior like me, I am truely blessed to know her and to be able to be her friend and sis in christ. Her confidence in God has been my source of strength, when I am down and stress out, I always think of her, and that encouraged me to go further for God).

From left to right (Allan: He is real great brother..He is always showing his concern, and he is very sharp in noticing our emotion and stress level. He will normally send sms (s) to show his concern, and telling me that we are together for this race as a zone. Do not give up, he is also very open to share his journey and his difficulties. He is really a humble man, no show off as a senior leaders. I always enjoy talking to him, very relax and happy. He is a father of one!! A loving father and a good husband to his family), (Annie: She is my spiritual mother, her prayers will shake me to really hold on to God, and strong woman of God, mother of 2, but yet Glory of God took over and bringing great radiance and youth on her face. She is also wife of my zone leader - Jeremy).

I want to thank the rest of the leaders in JE zone too. Without them, I will not come so far. They are really "eagles" flying high and strong. I would like to soar with them one day. I am still on the learning stage, would like to do more for the zone in very near future. All leaders in JE....you all are real cool! You guys ROCK!! Thank you for the pressie and the celebration yesterday night. Do guide me along in my ministry in JE....

Personal pressie by Vicki....thanks sis....love it alot alot!!

Coach Handbag for Mother's Day & Mum's Bday

Trist & I have planned to get mum something special this year for her Birthday & mother's day. She has lotsa bags, but we feel like getting something that represent her in our heart. In our heart she is classy, she is worth more than anything else. Priceless. Hence, we decided to get her a bag from "Coach". We went down to Takashimaya after dinner. We went to some other boutiques like Gucci, Burberry, Tods, but in the end, mum still prefer the one she saw at Coach. There were a few customers at the cashier counter at that time, when we were about to pay. There was an indian lady making her payment also, when we were checking on the bag's condition. After paying, the sales guy actually took the wrong bag for us. We did not notice it until we finished having our tea at Coffee Club on the 3rd floor. Trist noticed that, inside the paper bag, there was a Cleaning agent (Coach) which we did not buy it. Then, when we opened up the clothe bag, we saw the bag wasn't the one we bought. We then rushed down to the shop, but the transparent gate was closed up. The sales people were still inside, we knocked on the transparent glass gate, but they could not hear us. I then decided to call them. Thank God, there was still people answering the phone, and we went into the shop to change the item. They had to0 called the indian customer to exchange back the item. Thank God Trist noticed it earlier.

Appreciation pressie From Se Na..

Met up with Kate & Se Na on Monday over at Plaza Singapura for a dinner at Mos Burger. Was too tired to take some pictures together. Se Na came back from her Trip from KL. It was her second time to Msia. She managed to meet up with some of her friends in KL. I was surprised to find out that a young korean girl has friends in Msia...

She is SooOO...sweet, gotten me an appreciation pressie...a box of Choc...

We went round to shop around...Kate suggested that to visit P.O.A (People of Asia) as she felt that the clothes over there are quite similar to the fashion in Korea. The clothes are very trendy. The last shop we went was "Outfitters Girls". Managed to get 1 piece of blouse there...I find it rather sweet...white halter neck top. My body doesn't goes well with Halter neck style, but when I tried this, I like it very much...after discount, it costs only S$34.20. Quite a good buy....

Mar - April Birthday Celebration....(Qing, Zhen & Lee Lin)

It has been a while since we all last met, for gatherings and celebrations. We all met up again yesterday (Sat, 4th April 09) to celebrate belated birthdays of Xue Qing (Shanzee), Xue Zhen (Renee) & Lee Lin (Chloe). The twins birthday falls on 28th of March where as Lee Lin's birthday is on april fool day....

Lee suggested that we should meet up and have a fun gathering together, either at Settlers's cafe, or Minds cafe. Both me and Lee had tried "Minds", but we have not tried Settler's. Hence, we decided to try out Settler's.

We played the monkey stick game...which i don't know what it is called....anyway...nvm....we all had fun....

(From top left to right, all the way down): June, Lee Lin, Zhen, myself & Qing

We had the LOSERSSSS.....hehe....all of them were "MONKEYS" .....

We bought a combo set. 6 Drinks plus a set of finger food (pic below), with 2 hours of game time. It cost S$52, which is quite reasonable.

We then played the second game....which is similar to snap....but instead of snapping it, we "SNATCH"....Lee's was not in the pic, as she was a little slow in this game...hehe...ADMIRALTY against TAMPINES....hahaha...In the end, we won!! Of coz the winner goes to ADMIRALTY (Qing, Zhen & I)...

As Easter is around the corner....Zhen prepared each and every one of us a packet of easter egg choc bundle....So Sweet of her...Thanks Zhen.

Pressie from Lee Lin & June.

After Settlers, June had to finish up her assigment at the National Library. We sent her off to the nearest bus stop. Without any plannings, the four of us then decided to shop around at "The Central". I was a little hungry at that time, hence, we went to TCC (The Coffee Connoisseur) thinking of grabbing a bite there. We left TCC after a few minutes, as opposite TCC, we saw all the artificial displayed of different variety of Spagetti...It was just too tempting. We then decided to settle our so called "Afternoon Tea" with dinner at Paste De Waraku....

The menu was filled with so many types of pasta....and we almost order everything from the 3 different menus that were on our table...We decided to share the orders...

We ordered 2 soups (the corn & the clam).....of coz the clam was tastier...

We were tempted with the thin-made pizza (Carbonara). The essence of the egg with the carbonara sauce on the crispy made thin pizza was a great combination. With the baked bacon, it was simply YUMMY. The fried toufu (Crispy on the outside, mouth melting in the inside....with the special sweet sauce...it was very unique I must say...

The fried Crispy Salmon was so so...We too ordered clam pasta. The clams were all very tasty and sweet....it went very well with the special chopped Green chili mixed with olive oil...(recommended by Qing).

Qing wanted us to try the Black Squid pasta.....it tasted very "seafood". They took one of my picture of my "black Squid-coated Lips".... The look was too awful....I did not post it here... : ) We all agreed that this will not be a good choice to order on your first date...

The Lemon Squash that I ordered was HIGHLY filled with concentrated squashed lemon. It was soooooOoooo *sour*....but it was good for my digestion after all these food...

We took some pics before we called for the bill...

We are going to meet up again in May....to celebrate June's & my birthday...Hopefully we are able to meet up...
