church wedding & SCI dinner

I have my first church wedding last saturday and it's our pleasure to share the blissful moment on Xiaoli's solemnization. The speech given by xiaoli.. is real touching. not have much time chatting with her cos her guest really a lot!! in the end, we guys zhixiang fenyi, eric siewmei, yingqing & bf chat ourselves during tea reception.

I took this pic with my handphone la.. i know it's blur




During one of the weekday last week, i went to have this SCI (singapore concrete institute) dinner with colleagues, sponsored by company (but spent $6 carpark fees in Tangs!!!).. i knew there's lot of high rank and "powered" ppl all around la.. but i duno who are they.. i jus enjoy my dinner.


very funny.. it's till later part then i realised there's someone i knew that captured in the above photo, that's ji jin yuan tong xue.. kekeeke.. this is the dinner that ppl distributing their namecards.. so do my boss.

走得腿好累

Frankly speaking, i'm still in the mood of laziness since the days back from Japan.. 懒懒地

my legs are tired now, as i made them to walk up and down for 5 blocks at least 35 floors yesterday. tired de lo.. jus to check the rectification work. total 8 blocks with 2 carparks, this is the biggest project site we ever handle.. is it bcos it's at AMK?? Uncle Lee's community?

this is two of the sample units. I'm surprise to see the gate pattern, it's not the normal straight design.. it has decoration floral design.. and the door looks very modern ~ is all this cost included into the flat cost?


punggol has a huge construction of HDB project sites now, one glance can see the skyline full with tower cranes. personally feel that the exterior design of HDB flat is getting more of "condo" look with the full height windows and all the feature fin designs, no longer the traditional look, not bad. however, bcos of this design.. we suffered lots of quality issue and difficulties in order to create and comply to the design.

I remember there were once having a discussion with an Architect in order to persuade him to change his design due to precast constraint, he said something like "hm.. why should Architect give in for precast? shouldn't the precaster follow what architect design?" .. if yr design is not precast friendly then it will be not be cost effective mah..

I have been seeing the concrete for the past 6 years... but when the building was completed with window glass and painted with the theme colour.. the piece & piece of components becomes a building.. a very good feeling

I can't wait to see another site at Queentown to finish .. this is the MOST & MOST jia lat design we ever encounter. the facade design change every floor, not much repetition. will it be good to view or bad to view? somemore the RE there is one of the ntu coursemate.. good luck frd !!

When i was still staying at tiong bahru, there's also a site just in front of my block.. that's 40 sty HDB building at bukit merah.. i'm sure the one who got the high floor can view the singapore flyer and fireworks from marina !! great location de lo...

aiyoh.. 腿好累

Before my Floral Hokkaido Honeymoon blog

Before whatever I’m going to write for this Hokkaido trip, I must note down this biggest surprise first.

She is same age as me.
She has same surname as mine.
She is also going Japan for honeymoon.
She took package from Fables too.
She had her wedding banquet at Grand Straits Restaurant too.

We have too many similarities
And there is more..

We have known each other since year-7th.
We have not been seeing each other for 15 years?

And I only recognized her during our first lunch in Otaru!!

Gosh.. I never expect to have this surprise during the trip!!
Yeah.. She is my primary classmate
For those in class 1M, 2M and 3M .. remember her?

me: "hm.. 你是不是凤婷 ? "

she: "是啦! 你是奕绮嘛 ! "

Since then, she is my hot spring companion.
Her husband is James’s companion of course!
We help each other to take photos..
Chit chat around and..
We both couples were also kena sabo to have kissing session in the bus!
Mainly becos we are the 2 newly wed couples in the tour group!

Like the japan coins 5-yen.. (pronounce as go-yen)
That’s 有缘.. la!!

再次验证我到哪里都会碰到认识的人, 不过这次真的是太夸张了啦 !

Our birthdays & outings

JX's bday definitely more than mine, we had steamboat + strawberry cake + dessert. And i crack my head to make a card for her.. wahaha.. paiseh ho



i treat dear a dinner at brewbaker that near our home, jus 5 mins walk
"A moment when you can get away from the bustle and hustle, an escape from worldly affairs, an escape to brewkaber's..."



We went to prawn fishing at marina country club just opposite our neighborhood. crowded on Sunday. Prawn fishing is not difficult. I get excited when my first hook was jus within the first 5 mins!! this is my 2nd catch, look at his giant "hands"! We got 13 prawns and in the end.. they were BBQ-ed !!

我要开心很久!

怎么办! 心情还是相当亢奋!

每次很用心地完成一件事, 我就会开心很久很久.

从策划, 准备, 行动到安排, 都是第一次的我们要怎样做才不会出错, 要怎样做才是适当的, 真的有很多学问在里头咧.

感觉很复杂, 有些新人把筹备工作交给wedding planner, 有些亲力亲为. 像我们这样, 虽然很累, 但有全家人和朋友的帮忙, 再累也值得. 我觉得很开心, 很满足, 很有成就感!!

也许没有Alex Tan的一切完美, 但其他不完美已经不重要啦!!

如今, 那些美好的画面就只能留在回忆里了

As long as I think I’m the most beautiful bride on my big day is enough.. HahaHAHAHA

YEAH . YEAH … YEAH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
