Stef & Sid Wedding - 23 Oct 2010

It was a fun and enjoyable trip to be 1 of the bridesmaids at a close girlfriend's wedding! Sooo happy for both Stef and Sid! I know I kinda screwed up the speech that I wanted to say during the wedding with the shivering, etc. So here's the actual full version that I wanted to say. For my beloved Stef and Sid - Congrats once again! "Ladies and gentlemen, we have known Stef for almost 10 years now. From the 1st day we stepped into SIM and went for an ODAC camp together til today. From Sex and The City babes til today, we have formed the Spice Girls group jus now at the table. Eevon - Posh Spice, Anne - Baby Spice, Jean - Scary Spice, Joseph - Ginger Spice and Magz - Sporty Spice. Sad to say Stef, as u r now married, u r known as Aunty Spice. All along we thought that Stef will definitely not be the 1st to get married amongst us girls but by Murphy's Law, here we are today attending her wedding to Sid. The 1st time I met Sid was on Xmas Eve 2008 where all of us squeezed...

A very last minute but yet, enjoyable trip to the sunny beaches of Thailand! Sorry, I know I wrote a lot on this post but then, I don't wanna miss out on the details and I can read about the crazy stuff I did a few years down the road.. So if it's too long, I guess u guys better stop reading soon.. But then again, pics will not be posted on Facebook coz i don't wanna the curious ones from office to probe. Hehe. 08 Oct - Arrived at Krabi and we kicked off the trip with an approximate 10km walk til I couldn't walk anymore! It was a little crazy and tiring but yet, I actually enjoyed myself. Had dinner at the Krabi night market where everything only cost THB 30 for heaps of ingredients and tasted soooo local! Hardly any tourists there coz it was difficult to get back to where the resorts were unless u are willing to pay exorbitant fares. Managed to convince a motorbike taxi to send us back for a much cheaper rate. My 1st time squeezing 3 people on a bike! 09 Oct - Went kay...

Mdm Kwa Geok Choo aka Mrs Lee Kuan Yew

Not sure why but felt the urge to blog about our late Mrs Lee Kuan Yew who passed away peacefully on 01 October 2010 at the age of 90. Been reading a lot of news articles. I do not know her personally but I've been lucky to have lunch with our current MM when he was still the PM of our country. I didn't get the chance to speak with him and I was only a little girl of about 12 then. Mr Lee Kuan Yew's younger bro happens to be my family doctor as well and has always treated with a lot of love and care. I am happy to have known them. Digression.. Better return back to the topic. Mrs Lee Kuan Yew aka Mdm Kwa Geok Choo - a very intelligent woman who later became a lawyer and was happily married to Mr Lee Kuan Yew for 61 long years! 61 years!!!! It's really an amazing length of time and I have nothing other than envy. She was the woman who stood behind the man who gained independence for our country. Without him, without her support, we would never have Singapore. We will alw...
