Caught My Sister’s Keeper over the weekend with bf and cried buckets in the cinema. The ending is a little different from the book but still enjoyed the loving family story that wrenched my heart.
Catch the movie only if you are prepared to come out of the cinema with swollen eyes.. Even my strong bf crumbled… =P
It’s been ages since I have updated my blog because work has been busy busy busy.
Just last Sunday, I attended my primary school friend’s wedding. It was a not a big fan-fare at a glamorous hotel but it was no less joyous and blissful. Although the bride (my friend) was seemingly drained out from the long day of ceremonial engagements, her happiness was contagious.
I love attending weddings for that reason. It is the time whereby family members come together for this joyous occasion, work together for months to piece a perfect wedding for the couple and more importantly, the happily ever after ending found in all fairy tales.
Beyond all worldly pursuits, ultimately, I believe everyone hopes to find a partner that one can trust their lives with. While some find it easy, others may have to wait patiently. So please treasure that special one that you have.
To my dear friend, Ruby… Wishing you and your hubby a blissful marriage filled with love and happiness.
Just last Friday (02/10/2009), I celebrated my 4th month at work. 2 days ago (04/10/2009), I celebrated my 3rd year anniversary with my dearie. How time flies…
The past weeks have been extremely busy at work and meeting up with friends and with my fully packed schedule, every day seems to slip by so quickly. It is becoming difficult to recall what I did the day before, making me feel like an aged lady with a failed memory. =P
In the midst of all the rush and fun, I wonder why there is this lingering emptiness that fills me now and then. I am looking at going back to volunteering and hope that the next place that I render my help at will be better, more innocent and truly live the spirit of volunteerism. When genuine intentions to volunteer is treated as faking it up, it drowns out any bit of motivation to keep going. I miss Kenny totally but knowing he is in good hands makes me happy.
Maybe, it is time to move on to the next chapter in my life.
I am here to shake off the dust… Happy Birthday to my dearies.
Happy Birthday Li Qing!
Happy Birthday Celestine!
Yummmzzzzzz
Trying to be models... =p
Many years of friendship and more to come....
At some point in life, we question ourselves ‘what if’ we have chosen the alternative(s)… And I am no exception.. I question…
What if I was born in a family where my grandparents gave me the due recognition as a child who strives to be my best… Perhaps, I would be a more confident person that I am today.
What if I had not switched primary school.. I could possibly be speaking better mandarin and not be mocked at whenever I attempt to communicate in that language.
What if I had insist on pursuing a degree in Geography (a subject which I love)… I might become a teacher…
However, for the many ‘what ifs’ I have toyed in my mind, I am thankful for the many other surprises that came along…
I turned out a stronger person who do not cave in easily in the face of difficulties.
I always remind myself that there are always room for improvements in all aspects of my life, especially working towards improving my mandarin.
I will not be where I am today, enjoying myself in the dynamic field of communication and advertising.
And I might not be the Avy that you know… Love me or hate me, I will be myself… To all my friends, thank you for loving me for who I am… Muaks!
We jumped, laughed, posed till we were totally shagged out! But we enjoyed ourselves tremendously. Walking down memory lane with the people that left imprints in my life…
In a blink of an eye, three months have passed by at work. I am totally glad that things are beginning to fall into place, and more importantly, I am enjoying the work I do. Having nice colleagues around make it all the more pleasurable.
This whole experience on my first career has set me thinking real hard on the things which I hold so dearly in the past, but now, I am seeing that they mean less to me today. Few entries back, I shared about my inner struggle and indeed, these negativities instilled by non-supportive people onto me are perhaps, mere insecurities on their end. At least, today, they mean nothing to me.
I am happy with what I am doing, savouring the journey and enjoying every little step that I take in my own personal growth. The biggest lesson I have taken away with me: Stay true & positive to oneself and you will find joy in everything you do. People may judge and play down the things you do, but the ball is in your court to make the best out of everything that you experience.
To my friends who have taken the bold step to step out of their comfort zones, I am happy for you. =)
*My personal growth journey (Part I)
National Day spent at Pan Pacific Hotel
To spice up our National Day this year and to leverage on the long weekend, we checked into Pan Pacific Hotel for a good getaway.With lady luck on our side, we were upgraded to club floor as they ran out of rooms.. 
Totally enjoyed the experience, watching NDP from our room, away from the monotonous routine of work.. A spledid experience indeed!
The super high and comfy bed

I have to mention this. I thought that this year’s NDP parade was the best I have ever seen. I am totally impressed by the choreography of this mega musical display of Singapore’s historical journey since Sang nila utama founded Singapore. The wonderful combination of light, dance, colourful costumes, familiar songs, fireworks awed me. This was a marked difference from past parades where formations were the mainstay. Cleverly put together, this historical musical did not bore me one bit, but instead left me thirsting for more.
Proud to be a Singaporean!
Beautiful water display by the Republic of Singapore Navy
Another wonderful shot!
I love this shot! Majulah Singapura!

The small red burst of fireworks are super cute
Our sparkling National Day
Happy 44th Birthday, Singapore!
24/07/09… A day that I will never forget.
Chaotic it might have been, but it was the smile that I saw on my parents’ face that mattered most to me. Being conferred BSc of Communication Studies- Second Class Division (Upper) was the least I could do for all the love, effort and time that have showered upon me all these years. I love you, Daddy & Mummy!

To my special someone, thank you for loving me. It’s been tough on you having to tolerate all the nonsense when I am stressed out at school and projects that I undertake, but I am sure you enjoyed it.. hahaha…
Dearie & I
Presents from my bf
To the people who have walked into my life, I thank all of you for loving me for who I am. I know that at times, my childishness can drive people up the wall, but that’s because I am so comfortable with you around that I need not present that pretentious strong image. Some of you stood by me through think and thin, and I cannot imagine how I would have conquered those obstacles with all of you. University life would never be the same without all you darlings.

To my FYP darlings, we might have our differences during the past year but ultimately, we excelled and scored the ‘A’ grade that we had yearned for. More importantly, we left a legacy that is still going strong today and we should be proud of that. Working on CAN! has been an amazing experience for me and without the collective effort, we wouldn’t have made it through. A big hug to all 3 of you!
My FYP dearies
To my WSC 13th Committee members, thank you for working along side me. We might not have made significant improvements to the club during our term, but we did leave behind some work which I believe will be gradually built upon. The fond memories of slogging our holiday away as we juggled both Ignite Change and WSC Fair with our small little committee, winning the President’s Social Service Award, working together to revamp all the club’s collaterals are just too deeply etched in my mind.
To my CurL’07 team, I hope I did not make your lives terrible then. I confess that I was immensely stressed out working on that event. It was tough times but I am glad most of you stood through with me. We pulled off the largest ever student led event in NTU’s history (not forgetting the biggest budget too! haha) All of you will always have a special place in my heart just like how CurL will be for the rest of my life.
Lastly, I would like to thank all the professors in WKWSCI who have made a difference to me, intellectually. Today, I stand proud as a graduate of NTU Wee Kim Wee School of Communication and Information.
The glorious walk...
Happy Convocation!
I have finally graduated! Woohoo!
Goodbye to 4 wonderful years in NTU and welcome to the working world. However, the fond memories will last with me forever.
Merry go round...

Simply loving Disneyland
Needless to say, the childish me totally heart Tokyo Disneyland! This is a place where everybody can be a child without having to care about people staring at you for displaying your inner child-like self. The picture with Winnie the Pooh was a must take for me even though we had to queue up for that shot.. hahaha.. =) I want to visit Disneyland again! Maybe, Hong Kong might be a good alternative. =p
