Our Performance

Our Performance

i realise that i have left out something after reading veron's blog... and that is abt our performance.. oh dear me.. too long never blog, abit retarded in blogging..

for those of you can recall back, when we started our exotic dance 2, we were told to do a performance.. we thought is compulsory.. bt is actually not.. well, since we have already planned our own choreography and chosen our performing song - Cassie - Me & You (my blog default song now), we shall go ahead performing despite the fact that we are the one and only group that performs.. we are definitely not the best students in the class, bt we definitely has the passion in this.. =)

our total practise hours is only about 4 hours and we have come out with our own choreography... we are really proud of our dance... on the 17 Sept 2007, is our actual performance... we were so nervous man.. actually we did film down the video and i wanna post to blog, bt vreniz say is not perfect (see, i say she is the most perfectionist...lol) so she suggest that we practise somemore and video down to share with others... haha.. actually is true lah.. our timing is abit off, each of us timing is different.. due to lack of time to practise, we still making changes on last 30sec before we perform... and i forgotten some steps... ;p

so, please wait for our final production of our performance video to be out k.. haha

look forward to next dance session... me and vreniz still thinking of joining salsa class or continue with exotic dance 3 class... actually we wanna join a salsa class but the timing is too rush for vreniz.. and our dance instructor - Sophia is not following jitterbugs (thebodytalks will be merging with jitterbugs).. she intend to dance as freelance.. so we were thinking to join her class in Oct for exotic dance 3 1st.. and when veron finish her exam in dec, we will go learn with her again... as different exotic class have different dance routine using different accessories to dance such as - feathers, chairs, hat etc...

look forward to our next dance session... =)


Exhausted
Monday, September 24, 2007

Exhausted...

well... i know i haven been blogging for vvvvvv long... well, please forgive me.. i'm really super busy over these few weeks... just a quick recap of what happened over last few weeks in my life... got major and minor events that occurred....

seen my last post is on 10 Sept 07.. so shall continue from there...

11 Sept 07

nothing special but work and work.. as I am going on leave during the next 3 days.. gonna rush out some of the consol reports for my colleague to continue on... so worked late that nite... reach hm - exhausted...

and another thing that happened was... my hubby's grandfather passed away that morning.. really heartpain.. well afterall i do understand that this is part and parcel of life, bt still feel v sad..

12 - 14 Sept 07

went for first 3 days of the 5 days CPA pre-entry course.. quite stress actually.. as now the passing criteria is v different from the past.. initially, as long as you attend the course, you can apply for CPA with relevant yrs of experience.. then changed to attend course + take test despite fail or pass also can apply with exp, then changed to overall passing of 50% with exp and NOW - must pass every module with exp, then you can apply...

PS: For those who are taking ACCA, studying NTU, NUS etc on Accountancy, remember to go attend for the course ASAP after you have passed your exams.. as the criteria of passing and topics covered are getter tougher and tougher.. the earlier u sit for the test, the higher chance of passing..

although is just 125 multiple qns on 5 modules - 1) professional ethics 2) FRS 3) Auditing 4) legal requirement 5) Taxation... i can tell you - is not that simple afterall...

in case some of you dun get it - CPA stands for Certified Public Accountant and FRS stands for Financial Reporting Standards.. These are the usual accounting terms...

attending the class is not easy matter.. you hav to talk with others.. chit chatting with them abt yourself (yr experience), your company, exchanging namecard and soliciting business if possible.. and cannot sound too stupid of yrself too.. means hav to keep up with all current affairs, business developments... 1 words to describe this - STRESS...

and there are alot of things that are expected from a CPA.. well, afterall tat's y this is worth my effort of striving hard to get this...

15 - 16 Sept 2007

went to the wake of my hubby's late's grandfather on these both days... my heart really feel bitterly-sour... he really cares abt us alot and hope to attend our rom on this nov.. bt really sad that he cannot attend.. he even prepare a rom gift for us and passed to his uncle to pass to us as he scare that he may not be able to make it... really sad that he left us... Rest in peace, ah gong..

17 - 18 Sept 2007

went back to office and been buried by the work...

19 Sept 2007

On study leave for 1 day as I did not study any subject during the weekend...

20-21 Sept 2007

Went for the remaining 2 days of course and sat for the exam on friday... 1½hour paper for 125 questions.. hopefully i can make it although i have zero confidence in it.. oh dear.. pray hard for me please...... gonna wait for 6-8 weeks for the results..

22 Sept 2007

went to MS.. wanna get our rings to be engraved.. however, the person who is good in engraving in not in.. wasted trip.. gonna return another day instead...

23 Sept 2007

went for facial in the morning.. then meet hubby to Taka to try on some suits... we realised that the men's dept is under renovation when we reached there.. is only half of the dept is open.. and there is only 1 brand of suit is available which costs abt 450 bucks for the whole suit... i forgotten the brand but is a Paris brand and i remember seeing it around... is abit off our budget.. bt is really nice.. esp on 1 navy strip suits... v nice indeed.. so we kiv 1st.. will return on 6 Oct where the other half of the mens dept opens and will try on more suits..

then we went to Grand Copthorne Waterfront Hotel to meet our Event Coordinator - Sheena Tan... she 's really a nice lady.. afterall, my hubby bargained alot with her and she is still trying v hard to comprise.. haha... we confirmed on the menu, placed deposit and signed off the contract.. most prob we will be increasing our guest list from 50 to 70... in order to do so, our buffet line may have to put outside of the rooms.. as it wil be too cramp to squeeze in everything..

meaning - our rom solemnization ceremony will be held at 1 room with theatre sittings and the circle tables will be set up on another room beside that.. and the buffet line will be outside.. bt these rooms are all at the corners.. means the whole section is reserved for our private function.. :)

Sheena let us choose on the table setting.. after choosing.. we have chosen (should say I have chosen, as hubby just say - anything lah) this one -





is not really clear in the pic.. bt is a bronze translucent flower setting.. it will be lay over ivory table cloth.. as most likely we will be upgrading the florist package with June Florist where they are the ones engaged by Grand Copthorne Waterfront Hotel to provide the centrepiece... also depends on how much it costs.. we may add slash to theatre sittings with flower on it..

the next thing is to meet the florist... gonna make an appointment with them to choose colours of flowers to match with the setting also.. :)





I love my ROM gown~!

I love my ROM Gown~!

hav a discussion with my dear.. we agree to stick with11 nov 07 for our rom.. so we went to look for my rom gown.. din really hav a hard time finding actually.. i found mine with minimal effort.. =)

I have ever tried a dress from IS previously as a back-up.. means if i really cannot find a dress that i like, i will get this one then..we also ever went to Veron's MUA's place where she sells some gowns as well previously... her gowns are nice bt dear prefer daniel yam than these options...

so yesterday we make a special trip to Wisma just for Daniel Yam... tried several dress.. all short ones... erm... some are ok lah.. v v simple.. while some are too complicated.. then dear ask me to try on a long one instead.. I have chosen a newest design to try.. guess what?? i love this design~~! i also like this design in short bubble style also but there are no available stocks.. hav to wait for 3 - 6months for the short one.. for the long one also not much stock, the piece that I'm trying is the last piece .. so now is a prob.. last piece for my size.. to get or not to get?? if dun wan, scali cannot find another dress that i like and this one out of stock - how how?

so our decision was - get it and settled for my gown prob... cost - 170 bucks for a full dutch satin gown.. i simply love it!!! Is ivory with black strip...





For myself, i still need to get a pair of white heels and accessories to go with my dress.. think chomel is a cool option for getting my accessories.. apart from this, any suggestion from u guys?? for makeup and hair wise, think i will hav the 1st trial makeup with my MUA - Ms Vreniz Neo 1st then we shall go for shopping for hair accessories and makeup and my side will be done..

For dear, his case is more jialat... coz we plan to get a suit with just a shirt inside.. he tried G2000, but the size doesn't fit him at all.. we went to see calvin's klein (just happen to walk past) and the coat cost 1000+bucks over.. siao... anyway we will go Taka level 3 where there sells alot of suit to see if that's any to suit him, if not he will need to tailor make one.. any recommendation on tailor for men's suit??

Looking forward to 11 Nov 07.. :)

What's Your EQ (Emotional Intelligence Quotient)?

Read Veron's blog and try on the EQ test... here's my results:

Your EQ is 133
50 or less: Thanks for answering honestly. Now get yourself a shrink, quick!51-70: When it comes to understanding human emotions, you'd have better luck understanding Chinese.71-90: You've got more emotional intelligence than the average frat boy. Barely.91-110: You're average. It's easy to predict how you'll react to things. But anyone could have guessed that.111-130: You usually have it going on emotionally, but roadblocks tend to land you on your butt.131-150: You are remarkable when it comes to relating with others. Only the biggest losers get under your skin.150+: Two possibilities - you've either out "Dr. Phil-ed" Dr. Phil... or you're a dirty liar.
