last mambo in 2009, prob last for me too

Last mambo in 2009 And yes there you have it..I was out of the closet once again... to join the mambo monsters over at Mambo last night...since leongie was not around, I was free, not working today, it was the end of the year, the last mambo for 2009, and its like the 4th or 5th Mambo i attended this year only!!

Was at Liquid kitchen before Zouk-ing.. was there with Yue papa, Wenyu and Watermelon mate-Yanni... a meet up after like years of no proper meet up... its been 9 years since we grad from cjc...goodness how time flies manz..Oh well.. we were there till bout 12ish.. and then it was time for me to head down to Z place to meet the mambo monsters...

and i managed to get Yue Papa to join me too... Yipeeez...
We got there about 1am.. and i think its the latest that i ever got there. no more space for valet and so we kinda expected it to be full house there... walked over to entrance, the 'gang' was there.. Nana and her cuzz, JR and Marcus... met Sofian and chat up a little before he allowed us in.. Yue papa was pretty 'amazed' I would say cos we din have to queue or even pay any cover charge..lalala..

well the booze for the gang was madness I would say..they drank like there was no tomorrow.. and I am just glad that I am now alcohol free and am staying that way.. Sober-ness is the way to go (although I've never been un-sober before)...
Leongie's spies were there too.. by 'spies' i meant his scout buddies...good to have them there too...

Very few occassion that JR is not behind the bar

Yue Papa and me...(10years of friendship)

Come to think of it.. we arent friends who really meet up often or keep in constant contact..but he's someone whom I know i can count on and depend on if need be.. My first few friends I made while in OI 1st 3 months, one of the close buddies in CJC too..
The mambo gang reunion... lol...

Addie-ching-me

Well, probably I haven been mambo-ing for a long while.. kinda feel detached whilst I was there.. feeling's different from previously.. never did I tried to enter the packed dancefloor.. we just hanged around Bar 2 the whole time.. and I kinda felt a little uneasy being there..

the sweaty people around, the crazyness around.. I think I am "growing out" of mambo and like Leongie... such lifestyle not my kind anymore (since its no longer a weekly affair for me...might still go once in a long blue moon...but yupz probably its really a long blue moon that I will go) hhahahaa so.. Bye Zi... my trusted first ever mambo mate..

Christmas Walk with Skee

Christmas walk 2009 We din manage to do our annual Christmas Walk last year, as I was busy preparing to become Mrs Leong..and soon after I became Mrs Leong..i went to Taiwan... so this year, Skee and me made time for it... but we were a little lazy...so we started out from Wheelock instead of Tanglin Mall...

Double S Reunion

My artistic shot....
We took some pics at Wheelock, before we decided to take our annual "Stand in the middle of the road, as though the road is yours pic"before we went over to Ion....

And then we saw Yeeky and her hubs...

Was great meeting friends along the way.. Skee and me were just talking about it..that these days.. we seldom meet friends outside..either cos everyone's busy and grow old le..seldom come out and play..or either cos nobody likes the double S anymore.. *sobz*

haha.. we used to be the so called (as deemed by our friends)"MPs" in school, cos every few steps we walk from canteen to lecture hall, we will bump into someone we will say hi to.. but that's not the case these days...But well being nice people.. we concluded that its just because peeps are busy these days and so they seldom come out to play..unlike us... thus we dun see them as much now... lalalla

Anywayz we continued on our Christmas Walk.. stopping on and off to take pics with the pretty deco along the way...We stopped at Centre point for a 'longer break' to reload ourselves with drinks and unload some as well.. before continuing on to Plaza Sing...and well by the time we reach PS, the Christmas deco were already being removed... so we didnt take much pics there...

Nonetheless..it was a great Christmas walk we had.. just the 2 of us, our Tian Mi Mi time together.... which is very valued these days.. =) Anywayz.. till next year... here's double S signing off =)

Christmas 2009

Christmas 2010

Was over very first Christmas over at household of faith.... above pic: The pretty Christmas tree we put up... had a few house parties... starting with the first one on 24th (christmas eve)

We had Leongie's scout friends over (the senior management of his scouts grp-namely: SY, Noel, ZX, LH, WH, Jeremy, Hamida and a few others) and of cos friends of unicorn-Pauline etc... and Pauline was the designated chef for the night...and she whipped out a excellent spread of food....

Next up, on CHristmas day itself..we invited my in laws, aka Leongie's family over for Christmas lunch.. and Leongie cooked his specialty-Bacon aglio pasta... and we had ribs, roast beef and turkey again... (no pix for this though)

In the evening.. my family came over for dinner... was a rather good spread... since we have about 10 of us over.... I cooked Baked pasta, cold pasta salad, and the meat from lunch...Gilbert Gugu came over to join us too..and it was a nice little Christmas reunion i must say..and am glad our Household of Faith is helping us bring the family closer together

On to Boxing day... we had the GELers over at our place... all in Red, and Loud and Boomz clothing...cos the theme was "Red, Loud and Boomz" thanks to Ris Low... and once again we had a superb spread, with all most of the Gellies bringing home cooked food over.... And we ate ham, turkey, beef, ribs AGAIN... 3 days in a row..and I kinda got sooo sick of eating them... like SERIOUSLY.....we sang carols, and the highlight of the night was the gift exchange session where we literally snatched each other's presents...

And then it was 27th Dec.. the day we had my colleagues over... was a small little gathering cos Alicia was back from Aussie..and it was a nice little meet up..... Well Christmas this year was pretty much different from previous years, where it was spent mostly at home, cooking, preparing meals... and playing host to our guests.. but well i must say it was a great Christmas..cosy and sweet, warm and homely... Guess spending time with family and loved ones really make Christmas this year truly memorable.. and prob cos this was our very first Christmas together over at Household of faith =) many more Christmas-es to come...

Blessed Birthday Leongie, happy 1st

Blessed Anniversary & birthday to leongie Brought Leongie to a 'new place' today.. to have some quality nice time together to celebrate our Anniversary and his Birthday... we went to:Marina Barrage..for a small little picnic... (not that we have a lot of food..) Anywayz.. leongie brought his guitar along too..

Us under the brolly

our picnic foodieWas pretty crowded, since its still school hols and also the festive period.. people were trying to fly kites, children running around.. but all in all the place was a pretty nice place to just slack the afternoon away if it was less crowded....

And so we just slacked the noon away... snacking on the little food we brought along, reading our book and also 'sun-tanning' and taking naps... being oblivious to what's happening around the world.. somehow it felt like we were tucked away on a little island by ourselves.. =) *Sweet*

well we stayed there till it was tea time..and it kinda got a little too hot. the sun was scorching hot and our brolly broke due to the strong winds.. so we packed up and head home.. leongie had his company's D n D to attend as well..so we got home and slacked once again on our sofa, watching TV...

Was a nice time just lazing around, doing nothing... a luxury we seldom get these days... more to come we hope...Blessed Birthday Leongie..and Blessed Anniversary!! You've been a great, marvellous, wonderful, superb, excellent, sweetest, loveliest, cuttest, nicest, most amazing, silliest Hubs the past year... and nothing beats having you for the years to come....Love ya...

a year since I do

A year since we exchanged our marriage vows..... Time flies huh? its been a year since i said "I do", since we decided to let God and our loved ones witness our holy matrimonial.. I still remember the very day I walked down the aisle... walking into the arms of the very man that I was going to spend the rest of my life with...
Leongie was God's way of providing the best care for me on earth...
1)caring, and loving me for who I am,
2)sharing my Ups and Downs moments,
3)cheering me up with his ever nonsensical jokes or just being him,
4)vacuuming the floor just cos I dun like to vacuum,
5)waking up early to prepare breakfast for me,
6)adjusting the shower to my favourite temperature just before i use the shower...
7)puts lotion on my feet,
8)giving me shoulder rubs every other day,
9)singing silly songs and dancing silly moves to entertain me...
10) seeing to all our financial needs (keeping good track of finances)
11) Paying for my online purchases
12) Giving me warm big huggies
13) watches TV with me
14) Plays guitar and attempts to sing for me
15) driving me home and picking me up from work at odd hours
16) and the list can go on and on.....

Well must say...marriage life has been great for us both thus far... we have gotten used to waking up early (for me since he is a morning person)/sleeping late (for him since I am a night person)... some minor adjustments and getting used to.. some minor disagreement as we dun see eye to eye for everything..but that's when we grow and learn to accomodate or find solutions...

Its great and lovely to wake up to someone beside you, giving you a big hug, a big kiss, and covering the comforter at night...its great having someone to share your troubles and of cos joy..and its great having a place to stay in together and prepare things together.....

Husband and wife, "you may now kiss the bride moment"

Lighting the Unity candle which is still burning bright..Mr and Mrs Leong..

Well its our 1 year Anniversary today....though most couples would spent it as memorable as their wedding anniversary... we decided to spend it differently...Our church had a adult Christmas outreach...and well since we were part of the church..we decided that we should take part too..we can celebrate anniversary tmr...and we are glad we were part of the church's celebration..we had fun together with everyone else..

After the celebration..the youths (Matt, Carina, Char, Gladys, Darius, Pleong, Me and Leongie) went over to Tampines Mall to catch Avatar...a superb show i must say and we kinda regretted not waiting for the 3D one instead...

Anywayz.. one year on the journey of being Mrs Leong...looking forward to more years to come =)

2512

GEL productions "2512" 2512 was fun fun fun.... great job folks... Leongie and me were the hosts of "Don't forget the carols" and it was funny cos of all the people.. we were the 2 that didnt manage to catch any episodes/seasons of that game show.. but well think we managed to be rather good hosts nonetheless...hahaha
We had a "kachang puteh" stall too..that gives away nuts... well it was a "movie/TV night" so we had to have some tidbits/popcorn...nuts were like cheaper alternatives...so it was Kachang Puteh...

We all helped in the setting up of the place...and few months back while out at Ikea.. i spotted some nice star, light decoration which I thought will look lovely for decoration..and since it cost $2.90 each..i bought 5 of them... didnt have any nice spot at Household of faith for them so.. brought it to church to deco for 2512...turned out quite nice...Door Babes...

P-leong, Me, gladys and MeiMeiI mIss staying home with my 2 brats and my sister
