1772014 10th Month To Marriage and counting.. 6 years knowing each other

We are well settled in the new humble shed. Although there are some minor items which need to be removed or thrown away. Or even new sound bar to enhance the overall look and view cum ambience of the house. Our house may not be the most ostentatious or glamorous. Overall the look of the tree house has been quite successful. It has their hinge of cozy factor in it.

These days,most of the fom facebook postings these days are on the musings on people's meals, childhood pictures or their happy moments of their juniors. This just translate something we have evolved. Today is not just only on yourself , you. Its more on a we, our. Family and friends. We are evolving to our mid 30s and our body has indeed degenerate a little, Yes I do find myself getting old and tired after work and i cant focus on heavy reading or on the tablet for more than 30 mins. 20 mins seems to be the maximum during bed time, this just voice down to the productivity and concentration efforts. It also then translates to another phase of life we ought to go through after enjoying the blissful just u n me for the past 6 yrs.

Our union together was not the best smooth sailing, but i must comment. It was the most varied, fun loving and non pretentious moments together. We were best buddies, best pals and partners. I could picture myself running after a bunch of our kids and sit down at the beach and spread butter on the bread. While the duo pair of boys of gals just splash water and build sand castles and enjoy some private family time together.
Probably its time to get the juniors involved.  Its not because of seeing children pictures on FB. that you decide to pull yourself together to accept the cons of having children, likebeing poorer, busier, angrier than usual and efforts to put food on the table and to educate and nurture the young. Its far from just a "bao zhang" like what my mil quotes. Children need attention love and care, its not just a dog which you can feed him 2 times a day, 2 walks together.

In another 3 months time, we could meet a new member, as my BIl is getting married. Lots of loose ends to tie, it will eventually build character and responsibility to build up a project. My intutive nature tells me she would definitly not be a easy person to get along because of her ultra pettiness and her sharp defensive innate characteristic would clash badly with the fussy calculative mil. For this team to work, one must give in and that candidate would not be either of the them and that would be the poor accomodating husband cum son.

The new banking working environment in DBS has gone by in 2 months. close to that. We have the usual gossipy and emo team mates, The one who know it all, the quiet and timid ones and the loud and gregarious bunch of  warm people. They just never fail to brighten a gloomy day and bring a smile to the team..

Housewarming party 2014 has ended 13072014 12-6pm

With lots of smiles and laughter , we ended today with massive cleaning , scrubbing, washing  and more washing to clean the interiors and exteriors well.
It was a joint family event among the 2 families. I believe it is a most enjoyable event for this year for both of us. We seldom gather with our families this much.
Lots of useful gifts, desserts were given. My brother bought fruits, lychee, watermelon and tupperware for all relatives to tabao back.
A tiring but fulfilling day.

23062014 9th mth married and 1 mth settled with CBG loans. DBS

Hahaha. my evil plot is soon unfolding. Just another 6 more nights n we are done with Ubi.
A lot of effort put in. manpower. $$. words simply cant explain my euphoric reaction.

Settling in the new house finally.. Looking forward to the weekend of housewarming. cleaning ohYes cleaning. n prep work of hosting.

Today is 11.7.2014 Friday, also known as 7-eleven day but there are no attractive buys for me to shop.
It is my 3rd week settling in Hougang, this friendly little estate with cute neighbours. Also to our route in independence, still ironing out our differences on how we tidy the house, cook, do marketing budgeting or how we place our personal items in the house.

We had countless arguments over $, over cash flow on what should be paid, how it should be done, what parties format to organise for house-warming. Nevertheless, we managed to get by and get things off the list one by one.

No doubt, we still commit mistakes being human due to the lack of experience. We wasted marketing food stuff from the wet market, we throw a few vegetables because the structure of our fridge is the reverse. Unlike the conventional on top and vegetables below, our fridge was the reverse. Therefore we had some problem adjusting. Along the renovation period, the quarter accomplished was collection of keys
Major fight, within 2nd wk, I had thoughts of decoupling and selling off this house after 5 yrs to avoid responsibilities. Oh well, Md Bong is a challenging character to stay with, due to her mood swings, calculative and self centred nature. She does has her good points, but still its a nightmare foreseeing she will mess up the equilibrium and cleanlinless we built up.

Almost married for 21 days since 29092013

Basically nothing's much has changed. Except there is a fat ass sleeping beside me , all the anticapation has died down within 1 day. It does not feel like honeymoon since we had our fair shares of fights over $, cleaning habits. Living culture environment, how we spend our money, our viewpoints on when to pay credit card. How we view our family

嫂妈如亲妈

My guo da li was over and I receive the angbao from Joanna. N the message she wrote cant help but have tears of joy welling up.Sometimes I wonder if she has not chosen to get married to worm, would she have a better future with another man. Then we wont haveJian Hao in the picture.
Also due to circumstances, she married my brother to get care of myfamily. that i was still a young kid. It was as though at times I find that I owe it to her our benefactor. N how my bro worm repay her is like shit together with his shit wife. I just cant help it but find that she deserves someone to love her too and be loved not like this. I feel happy I found someone but i know if not for her our family wont have turned out like this.

My Dad n Mum love story

It starts with my auntie's mutual friend and the rest was history. For all I know Mum had many suitors. We attended a dinner organised at Ah Yi's house to host this grand uncle and auntie from China. They were my Mum's mother's half bro. Coz my bio grandmother was adopted and this bro came for abt 3 weeks. Unable to walk long, diabetic special diet, unable to walk for long and unable to take many types of food i.e. frozen meat... haha too bad we are not farmers. food is imported here. theres no way to get fresh meat. really fresh ones.  He shared some during the Sunday kopi session.. coz we linked to Mum's family history with grand uncle. so i asked my Ah Yi the blood relationship of the visitors. kinda complicated to explain. octagen sided..

I had started the long weekend sick but now I m fresh with long rests. only a day at the gym. but left me runny nose nevertheless.
Had some nice hockien mee . and over the MIL issue. Shes moody for some reason coz she had this perception that sons will be controlled by wives .. Thats quite a negative way of thinking. I tot we had a new extended family and should care for each other n find time to spare for each side of the parent.
Dad had spent some effort his worth and capability and now i c the picture why hes also concerned on my Panda. Its for the best of my interest. I have a naggy but family orientated old fashioned Dad. hes cute in his own unique manner coz hes quite childish sometimes and stubborn.
Say gd bye to long wkend soon. tml is mon.

Start of a blogging mode since 9 August 2013

A lot of events has happened in the past 30 years and in this 1.5 years in this GE. it has showed me another light in insurance industry when it cares for the family when the first party has departed.
In another 8 weeks during my wedding these are the wish list for my wedding
A happy family portrait.. though I may not be used to it..
with bro worm.. elephant kids.. bro 2. auntie may. rena. yy. Corliss. bro 3. Jan. My n Mxuan.. Panda. as well as dad... that would be a total of 16 of us..
Tomorrow Panda would be back from Malacca.
Moving forth, it would be good to reminisce on but still need to look forward to new beginings.

As I was packing my stuff, its about 30 years of good memories buried with me in the scrap bookings.
While we were having coffee. On ndp a gd family of 3 passed on in accident on highway on their way to airport.. Family ties are forever. The remaining survivor would be a  sad man this NDP

On one of the anecdote I wrote i the scrapbook. I wrote something like... To my panda, my first 25 years. you were not part of my memories by from this day on.. u would form part of my life and till the very last day...
how poetic.
Our former forefather looked frail n it was the exchange for a fine place now. Thats how life changes about you turn older. fragile and weaker.
Even uncle pek ..  n auntie. dad's elder bro . long term care for auntie. n dua pek back issue is worsening..
Kinda lucky dad only has some minor sleeping issues...
Tomorrow..  we would be attending a dinner with a uncle from China..
hope he can speaks simple chinese for easycommuication.. my teochew is not so chim as his..

Happy birthday Singapore, 56 days to Mrs Wang Eng Pheng

I was feeling pretty sick and disturbed last night coz  I had 4 pills of cbs.. block calories cum tons of medicine for runny nose, fever, flu. dry cough lozenges for sore throat and a capsule for phelgm. M glad out of 5 dAYS.  TODAY I M FEELING PRETTY HIGH AND NORMAL.. CAN enjoy the rest of the 4 days of PH. Hari raya and National day.

It was most probably due to the precarious weather which had indeed  put me under the weather since Monday. I was whiffing and sneezing like a sick pig and was listless and simply uninterested to indulge in activities like gorging, pigging out. shopping and out in the streets roaming and hanging out. Even having an extra phone call or staying outsides outside more seems to make my head spinning more than ever.

I made Auntie May a Mango Jap cheese cake with the help of Annie Leow and with her generosity to share her skills and patience after a 3hr toil in the kitchen. We managed to get it started and done with. It was the first cake that was ever made in my history and although deco was ugly not in order, the taste was quite light and fluffy, less sweet to suit the taste buds. It was like an initial warmup to prepare a cake for the Panda because of lack of moola and resources. It was something which was intented to create a happy memory for him before we become husband and wife.

Just now when  I was in my bed, I kept counting the days left in this house. N it wals 56 days.. thats about 8 weeks to my wedding. I finally sorted out my reason for marrying this man. It was not because of his silly behavior but also his love for my family and my love for his family.The family values we all shared together as a single family syndrome that we are proud to be mummy's boy ad Daddy's girl in this family.
That both our mum and dad sacrificed their lives to put the family together and why my dad placed a lot of importance of family became one of my most important criteria to select a husband as well. It was this trait which was deeply attracted to me.

Besides being greedy and playful together, we both loved our family deeply. And rather than the norm of marrying a daughter off, I would like to think of this matrimonial of extention of love and an additional family to care and share. My Lau Pei officially has an additonal FAT chubby son and my mother in law in 8 weeks time has an extra daughter cum " maid/ helper" to manage the family together.
When I think of this as a different paradigm, the feeling of luginess will diminish a bit.
And the greatest part of giving is not expecting anything in return. Thats like a role of the eldest daughter in law.
As the eldest, now I finally understand stress of being looked upon and learnt with.
It comes with experience, gratitude and grace to be able to love and cherish and acceptance.
Besides the FI papers, I have found the 2nd joy besides serving in customer service.
In order to de-stress as in desserts. I have also got the solution to staying stress free . It is to make more desserts for my loved ones and see a happy smile. This is the part which makes me happy learning how to make happy foods.
And apart from this, my family benefits and it does not really add my waist coz i realise most chefs or those preparing foods or desserts . the joy is not on tasting but seeing other people taste and b most happy about it. Thats the sparkle I like to see for the people around despite the long hours stiring. folding and measuring.

Precision and promptness used to be the least to describe me. I m still as careless and oversee things for work and personal. I m accepting this flaws and overcoming it as I go along.
To adopt a more cautious and slow step before leaping to darker spots as I paddle.
In baking, its all about precision. skills and experience. That goes for chinese cooking, it cannot be learnt overnight and comes with constant practise and feedbacks for improvements.

I m glad that despite me for being so difficult and insensitive, my bosses are still quite patient with me. My colleagues are friendly to give me advice and despite me being spiteful and demanding. They are still being nice to me whenever I need support.
Sifu, my bosses are ever so kind to nego with me on my leave.
Finally the hormones are really making me kinda emo today to think I am left with 8 weeks and become Mrs Wang Eng Pheng with added roles and responsibilities. no doubt this is the new era but me being the new GEN X. I m trying my best to enrol in classes to improve my cooking knowledge and skills.

And as for my close buddies, we may seem meeting lesser but we have not drifted.
It was at my tips that whenever I could, I could spare them some time to bond with. Only Tb now is more unstable with BB ad work career in his direction.

As for me, the faults of product knowledge and work procedures, I am still working hard to aim for accuracy and less hum tam on the exacts work flow.
It was with my best fu fen and I am blessed with who I have and not really what I have now.
I m blessed with a happy family. best pals and wonderful husband and new family to be. This should be a good closing to my wedding speech I just remembered. Oh my. I must have changed difference versions of it.
