Let's not count the weekend trips across the border to Miri or Kuala Lurah...haha. Note how my number of trips increase as my salary increases every year...lol. Esp this year cos I've paid off my car.

I'm also currently trying to visit somewhere I havent been before every year. It started in 2006 with Vietnam and China. Last year it was Bangkok. This year it will be Prague and Cambodia *fingers crossed*

So I had a bad weekend

...as it was crazy busy with legal dinner and dad's 'anniversary'

Then I had a bad day as Alvin, Simon and Theodore here explain...


cos of this
Yup, got rear ended (no jokes please, enough from my office already) So i'm car-less for the next few days but I've borrowed my Aunt's in the meantime.

I've told H he needs to buy me chocolate to cheer me up just bcos he's my bf. He was like "someone else bumps into u but I gotta buy u chocolate". But he's buying it...I'm trying to get him to throw in some ice cream too...hehe. That's why this next song is dedicated to him. Sing along! :)

I'm Exhausted!

And its only Tuesday....



Last Friday, we visited my grandparents (father's side) and my father's grave. I wasnt prepared for the wave of emotion that hit me that day and I tried to supress it at dad's grave. The rest of the day, I was kept busy so it wasnt till I was in bed that night that I could not stop the tears flowing...for hours! Its as if it wasnt that long ago that I last saw him. Kept H awake too!

U can imagine the next morning, I was looking and feeling crappy when I had to go into office to sort out some stuff then take part in the HSBC Badminton Tournament on Saturday afternoon (and also found out how out of shape I am). When it came to the lawyers informal gathering that night, I was ready to hit the sack at 10pm!!

On Sunday, we visited my grandmother's grave (mother's side) and my uncle's. Thanks to the Lee family's great attitude, that was decidedly more pleasant than Friday's session out and I never really knew my grandmother as she passed away when I was a baby. In fact, I was the only grandchild she ever carried.

A massage to soothe my aching post badminton body was in order on Sunday and it was over all too quickly. I soothed the rest of my aches by playing badminton last nite :p Fight pain with pain!

Yesterday and today, I have been in a frenzy about the legal dinner....tickets, invitees, programme, performances, sponsors, games, etc. I havent even had time to try out my dress! Must go today....its gorgeous! Now to find time to make the accessories....

SIC's 1st Challenge

Cant remember if I announced it previously when I mentioned I was DT but SIC's first challenge is up. The challenge is "I Love to Scrap about..."

I love to scrap about my loved ones. I know it seems I most scrap about H and me but I get an overwhelming sense of satisfaction when I scrap my family too so instead of picking just one, I picked the whole bunch of them (including H)!!

I'm all scrapped up!

I almost forgot to tell u gals, I also won a RAK from SnC for Best Effort along with Yati for last month's DT Challenge...

I scrapped 2 LO's last night. As usual one that took me ages and made me feel like doing a simple LO after but they're both nice lah!...well, I think anyway...I havent taken a pic of them cos I was running around during daylight today doing my trial all day then sorting out law society and office stuff for the rest of daylight. Hmpf!!

Oh, I havent shown u what I did to the Law Society invitations. I printed them out all plain with the words and the logo...but U know la, kepo scrapping leagle beagle couldnt let the invitations go out all plain so here's what I added:-
embossing...

embossing n stamping


Simple only la! Dun get paid for this n it involves my precious scrapping supplies...kekeke

More good news! Boing!!

I've been accepted into the Scrap n Crop DT!! Well, more like future DT as my slot wont be till next year...LOL but I'm excited all the same! Jazz n Iris from Philippines are up for the next 6 months starting next month. I cant wait to see their wonderful creations!!
