My first experience with Field Rations!

Darling dearest managed to book out late last night! Being the "sticky" me, I spent the night at his place to make up for lost time. :) He took some field rations back as substitute for dinner and I'm so amazed by the variations nowadays! Him being a vegetarian, they actually rationed out vegetarian packs to him, and he got pasta with mock chicken and glutinious rice. They even have dessert which is sweet corn with something. They are packed in these green vacuum bags and you are supposed to put the pack in boiling water for a few min. Then you just open the package and there you have it... your dinner! The food actually taste quite ok with sufficient home seasoning. They even have different sets of menus, guess to ensure that they don't get too sick of the food. Welfare not bad lah, considering how much shit they have to go thru in the field... To all the soldiers, regulars, officers, ns men out there, jia you orh! =)

My darling dearest is in RESERVIST!

So sad, my hubby has been called in for RESERVIST and this is one of those high key kind, meaning it will be min 2 weeks! Tis time is prob the longest so far, and the worse thing is he is expecting a lot of night trainings and he will not be able to book out until Sat evening or Sun morning!! I seriously hope something might happen to the system and all night trainings will be cancelled! Mua haha, anybody got any ideas on how to make that happen? :p Never tried not seeing him for so long... so used to seeing him everyday liao.... just 1 or 2 days apart i will start missing him already...:( sigh....

My photo shoot...

Went for my photo shoot in Malaysia last week. We went to Kota Tinggi for nice nice waterfall shots. My mum-in-law and sis-in-law went with us as well as we were hoping that we could sit down and have a nice picnic. When we reached there, we realised that there was no time for such luxury at all. Once we reach there, we were busy shooting and posing away and poor them, had to follow us around. But, it was a good thing they went, cos Nance took 500 over photos for us!! Quite pro some more man. This is one of my fav!! Towards the end it rained, but all went well as we needed to get wet anyway...=)

Something eerie happened in the toilet while I was in the changing out of the gown though. My Mum-in-law and I was in the toilet and suddenly it turned pitch black, my Mum-in-law went out thinking it was some kind of prank, but apparently, the lights kind of went out on its own. Anyway she started talking, saying that we are just borrowing the toilet and to excuse us and the lights came on again. Lucky she was with me man, if not I really don't know what I will do...

Gown selection

Went to choose my gowns on Sat with my sis and hubby. Thought it will take a very long time, surprisingly we finished by 2pm. Just took us 2+ hrs. I still thought might take 5hrs and above, phew...

Anyway, my sis and I had a good time, and lucky for my hubby, my sis brought a book along, so he kept himself entertained the whole time. :p Lucky got my sis, made the selection process a lot easier... thank you mei mei!! Muak Muak! :) Btw, I'm still tempted to post your unglam but adorable shots, how ah? ;p Can i post without getting myself killed by you? *wink wink*

Excitement slowly brewing within

What a productive Sat! I found my make up artist (special thanks to Eddy) , my ideal venue for my wedding reception and my cutie darling Reagan to help open bridal car door... hmmm actually like very little done hor, wonder what else i missed, oops! Anyway, Sat was really busy... running around checking out places like Fisherman Village, East Coast Park (Ski 360 degrees) and Sea Sports Centre ( Tanah Merah). We finally decided on the last one cos we really like the rustic feel of the place and the closeness to nature. That venue just feels like "us"...=) Finally one load off our mind, now will be the more intricate details like decor, invitations blah blah blah.... but with the important things like venue and make up artist settled, I have that "sit on it" feeling again... hahaha...somebody knock on my head plsss...

But again, with these important things more or less settled, things seem to get a bit more interesting. At least now find myself looking forward to the preparation and even getting excited about it. Hmmm...I'm a typical bride after all...kekeke. Will be meeting Mich and Cindy soon to discuss more details... Mich is such a great help, and she's so creative. So lucky to have her to help.

Will be choosing my gown this Sat with my sis and hubby, hope there will be nice gowns to choose from, will try to take some pix and post it here ok? Stay tuned... =)

My lovely samsoon!!

Oh my god! It's been so long since I last posted anything! Didn't realise that it has been that long until my sis told me! So much for discipline... keke :)

anyway, have been busy with wedding preparations so really not much time to do other stuff. Preparing for a wedding can be such a hassle, really wonder why have to go through all these just for a one day affair. For this "一生一次", have to do so much coordination, make so many phone calls etc, wonder if it's really worth the effort. For your info, I'm not a typical bride to be, some friends have been telling me that it's a joy to be doing such things, yet I just can't get any joy out of it leh. *sigh* anyway, my preparation process comes in a burst pattern, meaning I will suddenly do some things, then sit on it for a while, then make some phone calls then sit on it for a while. High "I" style of doing things... muahaha...I'm getting married on the 9 Dec and let me tell you some of the important things I have not finalised yet...Venue and Make up artist, and I heard it's a super hot date! hehe

anyway, have been distracted from my preparation recently due to "samsoon"! Yes, you got it, the hot korean show showing now on Channel U! Guess this is the only show so far that has me so glued to the TV, staying up late, and so determined to watch episode after episode. The aftermath of completing this series includes surfing net for the Kim Sun A, Hyun Bin and Daniel Henney's photos and watching the series a second time (cos my mum and sis watching now and I watch with them again)! haha, my sis even said I 发疯了! keke (Btw, my hubby also watch with me orh, and he enjoyed the show as well.) Really enjoy the humour and the fairy tale like romance. In case you are interested, here are some links. =)

What is Health?

My 1st blog in my entire life and this is my 1st title... HEALTH...haha, prob will scare many off man... :p

Many years ago, I will probably think I am super healthy, cos I'm young and goes to the gym frequently. No major illness = Healthy. Sounds like the right thing to say rite? Probably whoever is reading this feels that is the definiton of health. In recent 3 years, I've seen, read and heard enough to know this is not entirely right.

Have u ever thought of how it feels like to age? Since young, I fear aging. I even thought of passing on at the age of 40 when I'm still in my prime. I want pple to remember the best part of me. *gasp* But now, I know aging has nothing to do with looking ugly, being a burden to family, being wheelchair bound like what I frequently see on TV, worrying about getting ill and sick, inability to do whatever I want. In fact, u can look good even when u are old, u can age graciously and u can do all the things u want to do, including travelling and have lotsa energy and vitality!! And the secret to this has nothing to do with consuming synethetic stuff like Intenze and all that crap! It has got everything to do with how well u balance yr body, the holistic approach! I learnt this from my mentor and what he says really makes sense. The fact is our human body is the most complex and has the most amazing self-healing power (Most books say that too by the way). Yet, most of us fail to leverage on that, instead pple tend to listen to doctors wholly and consume all the synthetic stuff that may do more harm to our body than benefit it!

Think about it, with the advanced technology now, shouldn't the human race be healthier in general? Shouldn't humans be reaping benefits from technology? So why are there more pple dying of illnesses each day? Why are more young pple suffering from old man's disease like diabetes, heart disease, gout (the list goes on...)? The discovery of Penicillin has not enabled the human race to be stronger, we are still vulnerable to a host of attacks by other forms of bacteria, so shouldn't we take another approach towards HEALTH? Healthy = Heal + thy (Heal yourself)

Maybe, we are just too complacent with the happenings around us that we choose to compromise our standard of health.... maybe popping medicine is more convenient than healing oneself, maybe it is perceived as more normal to be sick than to be healthy... whichever the case, I truly hope things will change, I truly wish for 1 day, pple realise it's not normal to have heart problems, hormone imbalances, sinus, diabetes etc just because other pple also have it...I truly wish for 1 day, everyone will work towards their own health...
