Princessy Hair!

Finally permed my hair after so many years!

Thankfully I didn't have to perm twice this time.
THANK GOD!

But the hairstylist took 2 hours to cut my hair though! And he kept commenting that my hair is VERY OILY. 
Oh my, I need to put in more efforts for my hair...

Body were aching after sitting there to have my hair done for 3.5 hours but I'm happy with the end result!

Tada!


Feeling like a princess with this princessy hair~

---

Bought these to maintain my curls!


Hairstylist told me that I can't wash my hair for 2 days!

(I don't think I can follow his instructions... Haha!)

Boxing Day!

Boxing Day is always the day I open up my Christmas presents.

Coincidentally, today's the day I signed LOA with SPTel! 
The salary and benefits are very good. I just hope that I can do the job well!

Whenever I feel worried, I will try to remind myself this:


I CAN DO THIS!

---

On the way home, I was wondering where is the Christmas present that I bought for myself. Just checked the details... It reached Singapore already! And the next moment, I received a sms saying that he will put the parcel in my shoebox. 

OH YEAH!!! 

Whoa, the delivery from Korea is so fast despite Christmas!

I guess Boxing Day is an appropriate day for me to unbox my present!



Feeling so blessed to get such a great deal! 
And it's the newer version with longer battery life!

---

My present for Zai is...


Took me such a long time to chop the carrots and apples finely and rolling the mixture into balls! 
But it's really yummy so I ended up eating more than half of it... Opps!
Can't blame me, Zai didn't show much interest in them previously. 
After watching me eat them, he suddenly wanted to eat them too. Silly boy!

And of course, I brought him out for a walk again.

Job Offer & Laws of Attraction

Met up with the HR at SPTel and I was pleasantly surprised by the benefits provided for me! Had a chat with the HR about the job scope since we'll be working together. VERY happy to know that the HR roles are pretty well defined at SPTel. They even have staff specialized in answering general HR enquiries so we can just direct employees to them! WOW!

However, the HR Director kept emphasizing to me that this role requires OT. I wonder why... Well I hope it's manageable! At least the pay justifies for the extra hours I need to put in. Heh! So blessed to find a job with a higher salary than my last one despite how bad the job market is nowadays! 

---


Once again, Laws of Attraction proved to be effective! 
I had written repeatedly and pasted one of my notes on my fridge that went something like this...

I WILL GET A NEW JOB!
Salary: $XXXX
Location: Ang Mo Kio
Job Scope: Employee Engagement, L&D
Before Christmas!!!

Sometimes when I walked past my fridge, I would repeat the words aloud, and tell myself this WILL really happen. And eventually, it really all came true!

It's pretty amazing because I had 3 offers and all were offering me around the salary I was hoping for, in fact, higher! But they were not 100% perfect (eg. company was small, distance was a bit far, have to work 5.5 days, short term contract, etc). So I would finetune my visualisation each time and finally I got the offer from SPTel!

(So please be very specific when you are using the Laws of Attraction!) 

Kinda worried if I can fit well into my new job and how often I would need to do OT...
But never mind, I shall use Laws of Attraction again and be prepared for new challenges!

Solar Eclipse 2019

Was puzzled why Christyne kept spamming photos of eclipse in the group chat. When I left my house, the view outside looked weird. It was kinda gloomy even though it was still very bright.

Saw a lady wearing sunglasses and taking photos of the sun. Looked up and realised the solar eclipse was happening now! 

Saw more people along the way...


---

Managed to snap a photo with my iphone6S


Kinda disappointed that it didn't turn totally dark like I always thought it would. Or did it happen when I was in my house?

Merry Christmas!

Our 2nd Christmas in our lovely house!


Love Zai's cute smile here!

Spent my morning cleaning and packing up the house.
FEELS SO GOOD!

SMILE!

Enjoying his Christmas Meal~

Presents for the kids


Steffi ♥ Leroy ♥ Stacci ♥ Louie ♥

---

Starri ♥

---

Els ♥

Brought along the presents to my parents' house~

After that, my mum and I went to Changi Airport!
My 2nd sis and family were coming back from Japan and we decided to surprise them!

Admiring the beautiful Christmas decorations~


---

Finally their plane was reaching! 


(Anxious grandma, haha!)

---

After waiting for about an hour...


So happy to see them again!

(Heart melted when the kids shouted for me when they saw me!)

---

They went back home first while my mum, Steffi, Louie and me stayed back to have dinner.


Mum wanted to eat bak kut teh and thankfully, it was yummy!
The kids loved it too. Money well-spent!

Just finished eating when my sis called me and said that they left a luggage behind! 
Quickly ran to find it!!! 
Saw that the luggage was still there but there were 2 security officers and 2 policemen surrounding it... :O


Gave them my particulars and they released the luggage to me. 
PHEW! What an experience... xD

Luckily we decided to go to the airport to look for them and wanted to eat dinner before going home! Otherwise my poor sis would have to make another trip to Changi Airport!

Reached my parents' and sis's houses and distributed the presents to the kids. Glad they love them!

---

Finally reached home and brought Zai go gai gai at the nearby park.


Lovely way to end the day. :)

---

Still have a lot of things that I planned to do for Christmas but didn't have the time to do it! 
Time flies when we are having a good time~

So grateful for the wonderful Christmas with family.
Cherishing the moments while everyone is still around.

Christmas Eve

Many months ago, I wouldn't have known that I'll be spending my Christmas in KFC / Pizza Hut HQ this year.
Life is full of surprises indeed!

Only worked here as a temp for a few days but yet I received so many presents!


Thank you everyone!

And my presents for them... Tada!


To be honest, it's not very expensive but it's VERY YUMMY! I super love the cheese flavor!

---

10+ years ago, I'll probably be dolled up nicely and had plans for Christmas celebration after work.
But today I didn't even bother to put my bb cream. Face is totally bare with no hint of makeup at all.
No partying plans definitely... But I do feel excited to go home!

Just being at home makes me feel so happy! Bought a lot of ingredients yesterday. Gonna cook and make treats for Zai and Fluffy!

Hello Again~

Honestly cannot stand myself for being so fickle minded. Kept jumping from Blogger to WordPress then to Dayre… And well, Dayre is starting to charge fees, WordPress has ads all over my blog, so now I'm back to Blogger again. 😝

Can't believe that my last post here was 1 year plus ago! Just a quick update, I've been staying in my lovely Godsend house for more than a year and I'm still so loving it. Thank God for giving this house to me! And I'm not a blissful aunt of 4 kids anymore... 6! I need to update the photos... Heehee!

It's always interesting to read my old blog entries and recalled the interesting memories that I had forgotten. Also nice to see how I have changed in some ways but remains the same in certain aspects. Will try to post here more often!
