On Depressed Mode

The one & only me with lots of work and little assistance
Felt so lousy recently, trying very hard to control my emotions - in the end, i broke down while at work and got my tear machine activated. I simply hate that kind of feeling when people question on my efficiency, it is not that i dont want to help but i am really running on tight capacity and no one is lending their helping hand and have all those work, which requires their expertise, shove back to me.

Sometimes i just wonder..........................

• if i am unable to cope with stress or if this is really too much for me to handle?
• if i am inefficient or if i have too many things to do?
• if i am putting too much pressure on myself?
• if i am really suited for this job?
• if this is really what i want in life?

What a fruitful weekend!

Went down Natas Fair for my honeymoon package today expecting a huge crowd but surprisingly, it is not as bad as what we thought as compared to last year. Within minutes, we had countless of travel pamplets chuck to us along the way in. After checking out the air tickets and packages, we decided to go for the Trafalgar Tour - 10D Heart of Europe. My honeymoon will officially start on 21 Sept flying to Switzerland, Italy, Austria, Czech Republic & Germany for the land tour, follow up with the Shop till you drop package @ Paris and London. All in all, it will be 16 days of tour in Europe. I better start saving, else we can only have biscuits and instant noodles for the entire trip.

After returning from Suntec City, i decided to forgo my afternoon nap and give my bro's car a wash as he will be back this sat. Spent more than an hour to brush out the sand and dirt between the tiny gaps in the car mat, give the car a bubble bath, vacuum dry thereafter and put some shine on the tyres. It sounds easy but apparently it is not. Such days will soon be over and this will also mean that i wont have a car to drive around during weekends. Hmmm not sure if i can get the license to drive a Swift instead?? Haha =)

Surf urbtix and discovered that Sammi Show Mi 2007 Concert will be opened for public sale tomorrow. Yuppie........... The long awaited concert is finally here! I am going to fly to HK together with 阿迪 to watch this concert in May and will be back on 19 coz 阿迪 has to catch Grasshoppers' concert - dont really know how to appreciate them


On Saturday, i went for buffet lunch with cousins at Merchant court, there is a sumptuous spread of main course, especially desserts. First target is my fav Salmon Sashimi, didnt had much of it just in case my stomach got infected with virus again so i took two bowls of their famous durian puree in replacement. It is so yummy........ On the whole, the 4 of us didnt have much coz most of our time was used up entertaining my little nephew and busy chatting. In the end, the waiter had to ask us to pay and leave so that they can have our seats for their high tea customers. Haha so paisei

Then I made my way down to Bishan to meet 小黑, 阿迪 and Mr Anything to watch Ninja Turtle. Now I can finally remember the turtle names - Michaelangelo, Raphael, Donatello, Leonardo...... Met the rest of the irritants to have the extravagant dinner @ Seafood Paradise - had 5 crabbies and cannot finish the food. We really had a great time on Sat taking silly Polaroid poses for 小黑 to bring to Japan, singing funny self-composed birthday songs, etc.. Sometimes i just wonder if we are still 18?? haha Anyway 小黑 is leaving in 3 days' time, hopefully i wont tear, sob or cry that much while sending her off... Will really miss her =(

Busy Schedule

It is such a hectic month for me..... 24/7 not enough

• My team managing director on leave therefore i, as the asst MD, have to rush like mad every business day
• 小黑 going beautiful Japan to study for a year
• Colleague posted to Hong Kong permanently
• Cousin's birthday celebration this Sat @ Merchant court, i have not buy any present yet
• Brother coming back from India, need to find time to wash and polish his car else he will scream when he sees its current state

So many things to do, where can i find time to sort out my wedding stuff???
Still havent meet Lettherebelight to check out their package and then decide which studio photographer to take, havent got a chance to sit down with Fairy's Inc to discuss wedding bands design and havent research on places for honeymoon so as to book during Natas Fair. All these are supposed to be completed by end March.........

Ichiban Tei @ Robertson Quay

Have been hearing some good reviews about this japanese restaurant - Ichiban Tei which serves yummy Ramen so decided to check it out with those vball guys after their game on Sunday

It took us some time to decide what we want to eat as we or mainly 阿迪 (aka 阿地) and Mr Anything were too occupied in finishing the yummy appetiser which they served for free.

Only Jie Junior's order look appetising, he had Ebi Tama - tempura prawns with egg and onions.......
I had Miso Ramen which doesnt look and taste fantastic... Ever since i ate the oishi Miso Ramen during my trip to Osaka, i have been searching for the similar taste in Singapore. Sad to say, i still cannot find any one in Singapore.

Unpleasant experience with S*stic agents over Mayday tickets

Was down with viral infection during my extremely unpleasant experience with S*stic so I decided to write them a complain letter.....

"Knowing that s*stic agents open at 10 am on Saturday,

I specially went down early with the intention of being the first few to book

Mayday tickets which was opened to public on 17 Mar
10am. However, your S*stic agent at Hougang told me to return in half an hour's
time as she needs to turn on the system which surprisingly needs so long given
that we are currently in a high technology society. Anyway, i returned at abt
1030am and wanted to purchase the tickets. She told me that I cannot use my
discount vouchers which was given by Rock Records. In the clause, it is stated
clearly that this can be used at any S*stic outlets. As she is a Muslim who
cannot understand Chinese, I tried explaining to her on the clause. She tried
calling someone to check and in the end, she told me that I cannot purchase
Chinese concert tickets at Hougang as the system has not installed the Chinese
software to print the tickets. This is simply Ridiculous. It is not stated in
your website that i cannot go Hougang S*stic agent to purchase Chinese tickets
and it has wasted my time and opportunity to get better seats due to the delay
of time in waiting for your agent to switch on the system which cannot be used
to purchase Chinese concert tickets and to travel to another S*stic
outlet."

Anyway i bought Mayday tickets after queuing up at another S*stic outlet B2 Row 13 Seats 1-5, which I am not totally satisfied. I think that i can get better seats if tickets can be purchased at that Hougang outlet with no Chinese software installed.
What a waste of my time and sleep on a Saturday morning....
We shall see how they will respond to my complain and if they are going to compensate which i doubt so.

五月天 [JUMP 離開地球表面] 新加坡演唱會 2007

五月天 [JUMP] concert tickets on sale this saturday

<戀愛ING>, 深情的 <溫柔>, <天使> and many many more.......

I am going to wake up early to queue up for their tickets with my discount voucher 10am sharp at Sistic outlet this Sat. Their priority booking starts tomorrow at IMM only for those who have the 'gai ban' discount voucher. It is so irritating... that means i cannot get good seats even if i were to purchase the most expensive tickets.

No one can understand the excitement and their attractiveness till they go for their live concert as they will really bring the atmosphere up to the MAX where you will scream and shout like nobody business
すばらしい

I will go for the Cat 1 orange $148 or Cat 2 blue $128 depending on the seats available

Next posting will be on bridal coz will be confirming my designs tomorrow at TWP with Guan and two female bodyguards 小黑&阿地

Concert Craze

Yuppie Mayday is coming again this June 2nd..... but disappointed to know that it will be at the same venue as the one which i attended in 2005 - Singapore Expo Max Pavilion. Dont know why the organiser chose the same place again haizzz I want Indoor Stadium!!!!

Got influence by bf to this band and kind of like them more thereafter. Now, it seems like i am a bigger fan as compared to him. I even thought of making those luminous posters for them so that i can flash it during the concert after producing a similar one for Janet and Yanwei's wedding. Am I too old for this? Haha who cares if it is for Mayday but i bet Guan and friends will be too mbarassed to stand near me if i really do so. Anyway this year's gang will be slightly bigger as Cindy, Cheryl and friend will be joining us. Hmm need to go for massage before and after the concert as we will stand throughout the concert for almost 3 hours coz it is Super Duper Ultra high. Cun wait for June for 五月天 shouldnt they come in May instead??? haha

Before this, i will be going for Jolin Tsai concert on April 8. Never did i ever thought that i will be going for her concert... bot the third most exp range to catch a glimpse of this Diva who can dance, and reveal her assets with her slimmering and sexy outfits should be quite worth it after all.

The one and only concert which i am pinning for is Sammi Cheng. When she was here, i was a poor student then. Now that I am working and earning, she is no longer active in this industy. Doubt she will have Asian tour like Mayday or Jackie Cheung...... Even if she does hold one, bet it will only be in Hong Kong. So for those who are in Hong Kong, please keep me posted ok.

Bridal Gowns

Went down to the Bridal Shop to design my gowns last Monday thinking that they will provide me with a design instead of having myself to come out with one. In the end, my bf gives the designer more ideas as compared to me such as no big ballgown for me as I am not too tall and tulle looks nice on me, etc... Got reprimand by him thereafter for choosing to custom-made and yet not having any ideas in mind.

I decided to strive hard and do some research coz have to confirm my design soon. Datelines are tight. Design confirmation date this Friday, first fitting early Apr, second fitting early May, third fitting end May, photoshoot in June and final fitting in July just in case i turn obese before my wedding due to stress. Haha

I will go for lace as my theme as i simply love them. Wedding gown will be a wavy shaped bustier ruffled with organza over lace, small black crystals flowers across the bodice and tulle skirt. It will change into a long satin train when i march in during solemnization and dinner with additional cost. Luckily, bf is pretty ok about it. Phew. As for evening gown, no firm ideas yet but the designer drew out something for me which is similar to what Mary Steenburgen is wearing during Oscars Awards - plunging halter neckline except that the sides are translucent with chiffon. Other than chosing the design, i need to select the colours some more, have to find one which stands out and does not clash with the banquet gold setup. Shortlist several colours like sapphire blue, wine red and deep royal purple etc

I got a BLOG!!!!

Hello everybody =)
Finally I decided to create a blog which i always wanted to so as to update all my friends and jie meisss on my wedding plans and recent happenings. Come to think of it, I only have six months more to be Mrs Loo or Mdm Lin (sounds old isnt it?). That's quite short considering that I still have not finalised my gown designs, chose my studio photographer, etc. Well, it is fun to custom-made stuffs but it can be so time consuming. My hectic work schedule and my indecisive character adds on to the agony.

Anyway here's some little updates
