Blogging on my iPhone

Wow... Test test test. I lurve my iPhone!! It's like a one stop shop for everything.

Hope I can blog more and focus my train of tots. :)

Almost forgot this private place...well almost private!

Yawnz...Its Sunday and here i am going to face the week all by myself. Yes my dearest ah Bang is going on another overseas trip till Friday.

Wow in fact its been almost a  year hor! Geez i really need to get back to blogging. Helps to clear my wandering mind.

Almost the time of my confirmation very soon at Soo Kee. Frankly i don't know if i want to be confirmed or not. Working in a family-owned biz where every decision is made based on emotions and gut feel can't be good. Past 6 months, the constant roller coaster and weekly flavors are seriously getting on my nerves. Tons of potential good ideas are thrown back at our faces after the initial fad is over.

While the whole thing ain't that bad, it has its good sides too. Overall i feel my inner being feeling better, and i am more happy. However the same old pathetic support i get from my management is sad. Makes me angrier when here i am trying to do things, and there the management still says it is nothing worth mention. They are the typical - always thinking OTHERS are better mentality. Why can't they be positive and think that their staff ARE Better!

Oh well..another week looms and another chasing targets week. Wish myself luck and God gives me strength.

Search for memories - Europe trip hotels

Today i had a gathering with some of my new found Europe friends. Again memories of the lovely Europe trip came back to me. Soooo sad...that i had decided to embark on yet another project. A super mini one if my memory don't fail me.

Shall trace back to ALL the hotels we stayed during the 15 days trips from Paris- Switzerland - Italy!

hahaha...well well nothing better else to do. shall post the pics on FB or here. Decide when i can actually find the pics first.

Alritey... toodles for now!

Being a lady of leisure

Many times the above thought had fleeted through my mind. Think there never seem to be a minute or a day that i do not think about it.

I want to escape. I want my 'ME' TIME. I want to NOT worry about having no $$. I just want to be me.

Work work work and especially working in LOREAL builds not only your resilience but your aptitude. Your ability to think fast sharpens and all you do everyday is FIGHT fire.

When is a day i don't have to FIGHT fire. When... do i need to look elsewhere. Am waiting for my 2 years, afterwhich i think i have enough. I just want to move on.

K...another mindless post. but hey peektures time.

New Project - VNA 45 Not-so-Singaporean places

2 weeks ago i saw this article in Cleo talking about 45 places in Singapore that can actually take someone out to another country altogether! true enough the way the photo came out was quite interesting.

That sparked me to go discuss with V. About how our weekends are sometimes boring and uninspiring! So I said hey we have a car...i have a camera...lets head out to these places and replicate the same thing.

Plus we have a long weekend coming up that we aren't heading anywhere. So come on...

so TODAY after church service in Jurong, we finally embarked on our first destination from the West. these are the piccies which i think not bad after going thru Picnik (my fav website for photo editing)

Enjoy and continue to check my FB out for new places. and of coz not forgetting the behind the scenes too. =)

Enjoy

Treasured Moments worth millions

Over the weekend, i attended my bestest Gong-Gong funeral. He was 92. Was sad that he had to go but i realised it was a release from his illness also. So am glad he was able to leave quietly and painlessly (apparently with just 2 coughs, he caught the last breathe and passed on with the maid beside him).

During the past 4 days, i had time to be in Pontian at the wake with my cuz, my ah Ma, my parents & my siblings. The time spent was soooo precious. I had quality time with my sis and my bro without our own other halfs. Also suddenly i realised how old my parents are and how they ain't strong like I know them before. I saw a side of my dad i never saw before and i want to be a better daughter to both my parents.

I wanna spend more moments with all my loved ones. Top most priority!

A mindless tiff

Ok...since i am on a roll of remembering that i have a blog. shall blog one more ...about the silly tiff i had with V.

I think i get cranky all the time when my period is near (meaning yet again sooon). So yet again i AM feeling cranky and irritated TODAY. So i really don't feel like doing anything but laze around after work.

Not helping i fell abit sick during work...weird stomach & a sudden bout of fever hit me. Anyhow i got over it i think with tons of water. So just wanna relax. But NO dear MR V wants to go jog, when dear me is sick...tired & hungry. I just want to have a decent meal.

So i got him to go to our fav zhi char store and order like a 3 dishes meal. But i did tell him the moment i got on the car...i don't feel well ...just wanna have a decent meal and maybe skip the JOG!!!

But V kept pushing me to do the STOOPID friggin jog. From after dinner...till after my daily dose of drama... still insisting i go walk walk or stroll stroll with him. I SNAPPED!!! I banged the door...i slammed the cupboards while changing. I just don't feel like GOING!!! So in the end i was out of the front door and my last slam on the door snapped his nerve too. So V stormed back in the house and said to NOT go jogging anymore.

Seriously can anyone feel glad and guilty all at the same time?! At that moment i felt that! hurhur... oh well ...so more slamming and shouting... in the end ....cooling period....

he went to wash clothes and i went to bathe...silence filled the house.....

Then my guilt took over and i went to say sorry for being such a bitch but truly i REALLY don't want to jog today. And ta-dah...KISS & MAKE UP!!!

the stories of my colorful life with V..sometimes quite childish and hilarious!!! thought i pen this down and laugh at it a few month later how totally mindless this is....and UNNECESSARY!!!

okie...time for nap! V's a-calling!!!

Revisiting Addy's blog during office hours!! OOPS!

Little Sophie

Little Angel

Firstly i have to SAY I AM NOT FREE! It is just this sudden urge to visit my super stagnant blog and add some colors to it.

Well I have been visiting this sad sad blog on and off but basically was reading my past entries and just having a good laugh. I used to write diaries and till date still laugh when i read them. So i guess i enjoy laughing at my own weird antics.

Yes and i think more often than NOT, as i see a pattern appearing i realised i like to be abit ditsy to people rather than serious. Guess 2 sides to everything you say. To each his own...honestly i can't care less truly. mmm...so people think i don't act my age AKA Addy is childish. (But of coz people pretend they are NICE so they don't say it in SO MANY words) Haiz...

Oh well working in LOREAL for like a year and a half. I had learnt to NOT be SOOOO mindful of what other people say. I mean my whole team including my boss is younger than ME. So what else do i have to say but hey eat the humble pie and just do what people asked. And not forgetting what office peeps call me - Addy-JIE!! Hows that!!!

Anyway...again NO point to this blog. Just rambling on my antics and trying to think the basis of my blog. Hahah...guess i am escaping to blog rather than thinking of the latest promo or latest marketing strategy i want to hit the suckers out there. Hurhur...oops did i just type that!? No no truly LOREAL products are great. So far all i have tried...least the CPD side...okie. For the price we pay...good quality stuff. Who says everything got to be branded.

Shucks...tick tick tick. I need to squeeze some creative juices out! Arrrgh. Oh well..guess blogging also is a form of triggering creative juices. lalalalaa....

Oh yes another topic been at the back of my mind. Being PREGGERS!! Enough of the preggers leh!! Everywhere i go and peeps i know are becoming preggers and all they YAK NON STOP ARE BABIES here, there, EVERYWHERE! Gosh... why why WHY are people in a hurry to be preggers after they get married?! is there all to it after married?! Popping a kid and lalalala... i don't think so, right?! K fine what do i know! I am not even close to being pregger!!! (to anyone reading this...and if YOU ARE a pregger, pls don't take this any other way!! I am not SLAMMING preggers! just voicing out an inner opinion which had been bugging me!) Oh back to my paragraph point, recently i met Summer (one of my fren from OMD last time. She got married and left for Sweden with her hubby. 1 year later, out comes beautiful Angel). It is amazing how much she had changed and how her whole life perspective just changed coz she got a little girl. She and her hubby used to be party animals, and now all she does in Sweden is cooking...cleaning after her girl....cleaning ....basically a HOUSEWIFE!!! gosh how is that possible.... anyways...childish thought alert on THAT!

FINE secretly i do try to do a mental picture of me ...V ...and a baby! Guess what - mind draws BLANK! hurhur...guess u can't do mental picture, except to have the real thing!! heeeee

K Shit ...better go back to my A&P matters! break long enough!!!!

that's all folks!! till the next burst of inspiration for this poor blog!!

The Real Honeymoon bliss to Europe!

Wow! sooooo fast been a month since i am back to this bleargh place called Singapore. Wish i am back in Switzerland enjoying the beautiful snow and cold cold weather.

Where do i start? Am sooooo happy my dear V had decided to bless me with this trip, its almost the trip that will never happen. We had always talk about it but never really put our mind to it. Coz you know Europe do not come cheap. So viola... after V's bonus, he went to book the tour package from Dynasty.

Initial take was to live dangerously and go F&E. But after checking and planning decided to screw it and just go with the tour. I thought tour packages will be hectic and unexciting. BUT we were pleasantly surprised with our tour. The peeps were great and our tour guide - Mr David Soh is indeed one of a kind. All in all we had our fair share of fun and WOEs!!!

As you can see from below, it seems jam packed but it was really enjoyable. The bestest time we had were in Switzerland. The image of snow falling and me tasting snow, it was truly amazing. Plus we had a Swiss Alps mountain spa, its totally cool. Imagine the cold air surrounding you and you are almost half naked in the midst of the snow mountains. How cool is that.

Though the trip did end on a sad note but i guess i just have to really truly remember each and every moments. Well put it plainly ...our Rome hotel room was burgled into on the last night of the tour. So we lost our cash (lucky NOT the passports) + my beloved camera containing 2500 pictures. Well thinking about it which is worst, us sleeping through the entire episode or you would rather wake up and face the burglers (risking that the burglers might have guns or knife).

I don't know. But am sure glad to have found some kool and like-minded tourmates. And now we are planning for our next adventure (though we do have a BIGGER adventure - like having kids). Oh well shall see how it goes. Be natural right....if it happens it happens...

Oh well almost a month...you can go check out my facebook and see whatever pictures that i could gather from other tourmates cameras. Guess thats all i can say to Europe. Perhaps least that what V promised - we shall go there AGAIN!!! Maybe minus ROME. heheeeee

k that's it for now. till the next post...hopefully soooooon.....

My CNY is BURNT and i am feeling miserable!

Ok i need to rant and rave!

Just got news that V's grandpa passed away. i know i am probably being super selfish BUT BUT it is CNY in 1 week time! I have made all grand plans to totally pamper myself this weekend after that dreaded JMA meeting. all these are going down the drain all becos of THIS!!!

arrghhh...Why am i feeling angst about this whole thing? Just sian that suddenly all plans that i have for CNY are gone. no more merry making...no more visiting Pontian which i only get to go like once a year. I can't see my cuz though i am guess they prob do not miss me that much. and sian coz i feel like going MUAR is like going to prison!!! The god forsaken place!!!

Even though the place is done up very nicely but just can't help feeling dreadful and utterly sick of spending 3hrs driving up to that ulu place away from SG.

Oh well ...thats my burst of anger! needed an avenue to air my grievances. *sobs

Aww...You Are Pregnant vs WAT YOU ARE Pregnant?

Haha...as i type this blog i looked at the title that seems quite funny. And NO I AM NOT PREGNANT!

Just my random thoughts after meeting another gf of mine that got pregnant shortly after wedding (which was around the same time as me).

Wedding was a time where everyone rejoice over YES finally getting hitched...finally settling down. Next in line for questioning will be when is the baby .... any plans??

I think that is a very rude question. What do you think? It is short of asking hey when are you having SEX? Least that is my thought. I mean yes the person could be asking out of concern but seriously we will have a baby when we feel like it. And people still wonder how come there are miscarriages during the first trimester. It is all these pressure!!!

Back to my post title, comparing the 2 forms of exclamation. You can probably guess what is my usual reaction. Who decides that you are ready for motherhood or parenthood? How do you know what kind of values your kids should inherit? What if you are a lousy parent? Your kids are the copies of you and your hubby. So if they turned out like crap, it says alot about the parents. The complications that come with having kids...

K i think i am just being negative. Who knows pop next comes my own baby! Would i be sitting here typing away about the negativity of kids or perhaps you will see my gushing about my soon to be born BB!

Oh well...a thought nevertheless that seems to be in my mind but hey ...who knows... ;P

Back to my marketing plan! :(

Can't think of a title! :(

Woww....talk about lagging. Guilty as charged. Been busy with work (no excuse)...with family (no excuse since still babyless)....can't think of anything else.

BIG sigh...guess everyone is caught up in something. From work to family to friends to religion... who to say grown ups have it easy. I don't think so. I am grappling with the growing up phase everyday.

Since my last post, i don't even know where to start updating. I read a book about waking up one morning and have 3 years taken off your memory. In between 3 years, she woke up a brand new person, has a great career and is married to a millionaire! well i don't relished having 3 years of my memory wiped out, but sometimes just sometimes i wish i get that.

Work had consumed me and i HATE it. I hate having to pretend that everything is ok. I HATE having to make small talk about something i have no friggin clue about. I HATE having to think of witty statements all the time. I HATE no able to spend time doing things i LIKE/ ENJOY! I HATE it when people start asking me when is my turn to have BB!!! I HATE so much things... why am i even here.

K i think the above just sounded suicidal?? haha.. k i am still sane ...not loony...haiz...wish i don't have to be here.

I wish to stay forever in this state of inertia!? is it wrong to think this way!!!

Anyhow i just came back from HK....and of coz welcoming my new niece- SOPHIE TAN JIA XUAN! ta daaa

First 2009 post

Wah lau eh...shucks forgot about the NY post and all. Geez and in a flash 14 days had passed. Wow 2008 had been exciting for me, and YES 2009 is going to be another tougher and yet EXCITING year.

Some reflections thinking back about 2008. Some happiness...some regretable moments...but it was alright i reckon. Took a big step - got baptise ...got MARRIED!

Life after marrieed...alot of tolerance needed. Though the feeling is nice, BUT geeez...sometimes i really need my ME time. THe time to just sit there...not care about the chores...care about the time ticking away....not caring about just anything. Not saying that V do not take care of me...but the thing is he TAKES such good care of me that i feel guilty at times.

Come 2009, one of my inner resolution is to be a better wifey to V coz he had been the sweetest hubby to me. Yes he ain't PERFECT but well he is say almost there.

Leaving PHD was another one of the major moments in 2008. Something which i thought i will never do. As much as things were NOT getting any better, i was just telling myself to just hang on. With me just getting married, i do need to have a more stable life. Not just L`Oreal can give me that. But i guess it is something i have to challenge myself. STEP OUT!!!

I reflect upon myself ...about Addy being Addy. What will you describe about me? I think i blogged about this before. But somehow it creeps back to me on this night. Like am i aloof? Am i fake and whiny? Am i stupid and slow? so many AM Is??? Who am I?

2.10am. Guess shall stop. Maybe i will blog tomorrow again. somemore pent up thoughts in me! Yawnz....

OMG - Memories of my wedding!!

my Ad photos are FINALLY out. Yes ...YAWNZ... like sooo long hor! Yah me been bz...obviously with the new job and all.

Gosh looking back ...flashback to that DAY!!! So much more i could have done to make it better. hiak... well anyhow...bygones!

anyway...shall not upload coz quite big. But do check out Derrick Ong (MY AD PG) blog for some of my 'better' photos!!

Really thanks to this very talented guy who helped me out muchie on that Day! Worth it investment indeed. :)

K enuff said... http://derrickong76.livejournal.com/

BIG MOVE...Next Stop - Loreal!

As you all had probably guessed from my last post that i am indeed leaving PHD after 2.5 years - making it a total of 4.5 years worth of media experience. And wow ...wat a ride it had been. *points to my nick.

YES finally after going through a big detour i finally landed in a marketing job which ain't that shabby as i thought. Though if given a choice, i would love to work in HASBRO!!! But then again this opportunity just kind of presented itself. So yes decided to grab it and worry about things later.

I have been blessed and i Truly thank God for that. I am just looking forward to this new job with a loads of excitement and a tad of worry. I mean it is a fresh start nevertheless, i don't know what will be coming. Worry if i can fit in, and what if colleagues can't stand me or my loudness?? But i believe by faith i can do it, for then i surely will do it.

Yes... i can!

Alright...quite late liao or should i say early in the morning. ...till my next post!

Venturing into new and better horizons

Addy is happy.

Happy to be Mrs Ng

Happy that Vincent is my bestest friend and hubby

Happy that V is there to share the dreaded chores!

Happy to be surrounded by real friends.

Happy to be in love and be favoured by people.

Happy in VNA love nest

Happy that wedding is finally over and i can start relaxing

Happy that I am going to move on to a new job very soon

Happy that God had shown me this job.

Happy to just say I am beginning to thank God for everything i own.... ;P

Whatever it is ...Am just happy and in bliss... ;P

Starry Starry Nite wedding jus zoom past in a flash!

Introducing officially Mr and Mrs Ng. Been exactly 11 days since i am Mrs Ng, still feeling abit surreal. Now i wake up to see another guy beside me... get off early to go work... no longer nua ard but having to do household chores. But all these are worth it when i know there is someone to share the load. As much as i gripe and complain... V is always my number 1 fan. Always willing to do the chores and sometimes help me pick this and take that. kekeke... alrite maybe i do bully him a little bit. kekeke...oops...

Tracking back to the fateful D-day - 25 Oct. Can't say much except that day zoom past before i can take a step back and reflect what i need to do. After awhile i was feeling abit numb, following what i had planned. I was tired...least my eyes which weigh a ton after putting on that heaps of eyelash to OPEN my very sleeeeeepy eyes.

Thanks to my dearest sistas. They were the bestest man. I could not have asked for a better group to help me out. I mean it was like sometime ago when we were planning for U2T... heee... geez i still remember that. Dohz... anyhow Janice was superb...was abit hesistant to put her as the main person coz i know how tired she was in terms of taking care of events. I mean its like her full time job. Nevertheless she was great and she made sure everything flowed despite this 'bride-zilla' here. Not to mention the rest of sistas were no good, they made the prettiest bunch...just go facebook and check them out. :)

alrite...zzz time...will update again with some photos. yawnzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Signing off....Mrs Ng once again! ;P

OMG....D-DAY!!!

25 OCT. Super duper nervous... dammit. Still trying hard to memorise the vows.

Am almost there. K trial run here...

1st section
I, Adeline Tan take you - Vincent Ng to be my wedded husband, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better or worse, for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health, to love & to cherish & to obey for as long we both shall live- according to God's holy ordinance, & thereto I give you all my love.

2nd section
With this ring i wed you. It is a token of the vows i made to you. With it i will myself and all my worldy goods endowed to you- in sight of God, the father, the son & the holy spirit. \

OMG...k ...sorted.

so scareeeee another few hours time. 12 hrs later from now half day be gone. And imagine tmrw this night it will be my first night like really really no turning back Mrs Ng liao! Gosh...soooo excited sooooo nervous.

I pray for good weather and favors from all people involed directly or indirectly to VNA wedding. Amen.

OOkie doks...Miss Adeline Tan signing off. Be back as Mrs Ng in another 24 hrs time! woohoooo....

I hope i had done a good job trying to plan our dream wedding. :)

thanks everyone... REALLY!!!!

to meen - thanks for the lovely flowers...and gifts. Very much appreciated. :)

Countdown - 4 days more...

Wow...so fast after 1 year in planning. Finally this Saturday it will be the final showdown. Been MIA-ing on my blogging coz i dunno where to start updating everyone on my status. Like my previous blog where i mentioned i was bride from hell aka bride-zilla! I thank V for putting me in my place and not expect the mountains.

Yes there will be hiccups and letdowns along the way. Nothing is ever that smooth, but whether people share it or not...really not up to us. We can only do what we can.

Oh well having said that. Photos are out or at least some of it are on FACEBOOK, so go check it out. Overall am very happy with it and glad i did not add $$$ to get more photos coz i dun even know what to do with it now.

Really want to thank my helpers/ jie meis who pulled together and guide me - the bride-zilla along with their points and advice. Really appreciate it. I feel very touch when i saw all my 'sistas' gathered at my mum's place discussing about my wedding day. i mean its really is very heart warming though i never really express it out. I mean aside from the tons of fishballs that i laid on the table for them to snack i really dunno how else to say - THANK YOU GIRLS. Hugs and Muakz...

Got my gowns sorted. Think my gowns are all quite boring. All bustier....would love to have halters but somehow all the halters i tried seem to make me look fatter or perhaps I AM FAT!! Shit...anyhow in the end the gowns i chose were the ones that made me feel like a princess! So i guess that is fine. I luv my evening dress which i tot very unique. Anyhow can see it on that day.

And yes planning a wedding is stressful but glad i had a theme. That makes everything fall into place alot easier.

Anyhow...enough ramblings...i still want to rattle on ...but thats for another post. Am off to find meself RIBBONS!!

Sign off - BRIDE-zilla!!!
