Our Saturday

And so Mr and Mrs Tootsie wkend began with a nice American breakfast at Cafe Cartel, before I went to collect my ring:)




Afterwhich, we met up with Mr L and our shopping spree began! Darling Tootsie bought a really really nice (maroon red blackish shiny colour shoes) at Taka. Luckily there's a 20% discount, and so we had paid a really good price. It was really nice :)

Also there's a 20% sale at Metro, and so I had bought my loose powder, to stock up and with the 20% rebate, we used that for Darling Tootsie's "toe" socks.

Hmmm I got a berms again hahaha from GG5. The special part about this berms is its golden string belt :P Well, so far, whatever needs to be bought for our wedding photoshoot is done, except for Darling Tootsie's cufflinks which our kind fren, Mr L is going to lend us :)

During the evening, we watched the movie with Ms J who has joined us later in the evening. THUMBs up for movie and gosh Liam Neeson was so dashing in the show :P

Personally I prefer movie that's fast and not too draggy. So I must say I give 4 popcorns out of 5 for this movie! *I dont mind watching this movie again hahaha*

Cheers,

Mrs Tootsie

Energy saving Pot

Once I have heard of this energy saving pot frm Mr L. This pot is more for making soup. Basically you do not need to waste electricity brewing the herbal soup/ red bean soup for 3-4 hrs. What you need to do is to cook the soup for like 50 mins using the gas and put it into the energy saving pot. No electricity nothing...and the soup remains warm, just like you used the electricity to cook it for hrs. So how much you have save the earth, the $ you spent on the electricity bills..mmmmm think about it :P

Cheers,
Mrs Tootsie

How old is ur "CURRY POK"

I was sms-ing to darling tootsie that yesterday I bought "curry pok" from Old Chang Kee and I am having it now for my lunch.

Guess what was his reply:

Darling Tootsie: How old is the curry pok? Got 60 years old?

When I read that sms, I was like errrr...wat is he talking about...how come my "curry pok" can become 60 years old, what has the old age do with my delicious yummy curry pok?

So I called him and he said :" ya you told me you bought Old Curry Pok"

I was like...OLD CHANG KEE lor...simi OLD Currry Pok.

Joke of the day.

Mrs Tootsie

Hmmm...who's next ;P

R.I.P Ah Sang

I was shocked when I happened to read from one of the blogger's blog that Ah Sang, the singer who sang "叶子" has passed away. She died of breast cancer.

Though I haven hear any news from her, as she is nt very popular like those idol celebrities, however its this song and the lovely voice behind it, that I notice Ah Sang. She was only 34. Its really a pity to lose her, a lady with a lovely voice.

Sorry we are left with 2 eggs....

So last Sunday, we went to Mt Faber Ember lodge for breakfast as we saw this promo from the mag, kaya toast for $2.50++ with free flow of coffee and tea. Pretty tempting though. When we got there, we decided not to have kaya toasts for our breakie...and decided to dig into our all time fav - American breakfast. However we were super pissed off by this cafe. We both ordered the American breakfast sets and the waiter told us they left 2 eggs!!! What a joke!!! As I am in the logistics line, my first thought was, "why din they keep stock??!!" Like what my colleague commented, he told me, u guys should have commented :" Ur hen din do her job is it? Din lay enuff eggs ar?"

So Mr Tootsie asked the waiter, any substitution for the other set with no eggs, and Ember Lodge being so inflexible, told us "Sorry Sir, we cant". Mr Tootsie felt like leaving...however we decided to stay and have our last meal here at Ember Lodge. Mr Tootsie of course cant have his American Breakfast and ordered sandwiches instead.
We shall condemned this place for being so inflexible. Not only that when we once went there for drinks at night, they gave us the wrong receipt and overcharged us, that include a jug of beer! Yeap its our fault for not checking and that time we din really "blacklisted" this cafe. However after last Sunday's incident, we shant be going back again!

After the not so "enjoyable" breakfast, we headed to GWC. I have bought two pairs of shoes for my photoshoot (one with heels in ivory white colour and the other pure white, lacoste sneakers). The one with heels is a sales item hehehe so its a good grab :)

As for the lacoste sneakers, thought its pretty ex to me at $99, however I feel that I can wear it very often as my wkend dressing is always in shorts:P

Alrightey, whatever I was told to buy for my photoshoot from my designer, has been done! Berms (checked), White shoes (checked). Yeah!

This Saturday, we are meeting Mr L, to shop for Darling Tootsie's black shoes etc...the things he needs to get for our photoshoot.

Thanks to Mr L for lending Darling Tootsie his bling bling cuff links:) We really appreciate his kindness!

Hmmm this evening I am looking forward to meeting Nana darling...another helpful fren of ours. She gave me advise and helped me alot for our wedding preps. Today we are going down to meet our JP, who is Nana darling's gynae.

Thanks Nana darling for all ur help:) Both Darling Tootsie and myself really appreciate it too. Cheers!

Tore my working pants not ONCE but TWICE !!!!

Arggg....I wonder if I was born with "soft legs"....

Last year I had a fall outside our co, on the way back home...and as the pavement is pretty rough, my pants (knee cap area) was torn and it was the same area!!!! That is my left knee cap. That time I was wearing a black pants and I had to buy one to replace it...I am quite particular about pants cutting, so in fact I had a hard time looking for one, until I saw her at Mango hahaha...OK that was last year!!!

And THIS YEAR!!! Just yesterday evening, again outside my co building, also the same area, I was on my way for yoga lesson, while chatting with my colleague, my feet tripped over a netting and I fell again! Same left knee cap was injured and this time, grey pants torn!!! Arggg!!!!

Sobsob...I hailed a cab back home and changed into shorts and went downtown for my yoga lesson as I did not want to miss Ms D class. I love her class! This is the first time you see me how determined I was, going for lesson even when I had a bad fall hahaha.

Now I gona look for another pair of new grey pants sobsob :(

Yeah I got my fav colour...Light blue:)

Cheers,
Mrs Tootsie

Goodbye Butterfly! I will miss you!

Tomorrow before 10am, its the last time I shall see my company logo - the familiar multi coloured butterfly.

Feel rather emotional and sad though....the butterfly will just disappear like this after 250 years of history.

Sad Mrs Tootsie

Progress of our Sapphire

Looking forward to a brand new life, hopefully in early 2011.

Thanks to the Sapphirians for taking below nice pics:)

Cheers,

Mrs Tootsie

It has become a reality

....250 years of history, thats how old my co is....and now its a history in the chemical industry.

This coming Thursday all of us will receive a welcome pack from our new co and on Friday morning we will have the unveiling ceremony of our new signage.
I have also realise that in our co homepage, there's a new name added to the header : Cxxx, Now Part of Bxxx.

The Finale

On the 10th April, my co is now officially acquired by the world's leading chemical co. Acquisition is now closed and we are now the new employee of that co.

Today is also the day that our co has organised a photo taking session with our co familiar butterfly logo...the feeling was pretty sad though...even when I am with them for like more than 4 years... I must say its really a good co to work with especially the nice bosses and colleagues whom I have worked with. Its pretty hard to find nice ppl in MNCs.

Our Pre-Wedding Food Tasting

Daddy chose this auspicious day to meet both our parents and had our pre wedding food tasting together. Also dar wanna officially ask for my hands from my parents as a formality. This morning we actually went back to my house but my parents weren't at home.

At the hotel dining table for our food tasting, we were given a card to access each dishes, a total of 9 dishes.. ... During the dinner, Darling Tootsie's mummy was teasing Darling and even after the dinner, she wont let go of Darling Tootsie and asked him how come he did not ask for my hands from my parents .... well I guess Darling Tootsie is shy. I can understand that if I am in his shoes, the most important thing is Darling Tootsie has always been treating me well and my parents can see..like what my dad once told me, it doesnt matter as long as Darling Tootsie treats me well and of course I have a very understanding parents:) Dar u are lucky!

Hmmm back to the dinner...well not much comments for all the dishes as both Darling Tootsie and myself had a late lunch so we were rather full after the 3rd dish. So the critics given are based on general comments from our parents :) and a little feedback to our Chef. Of course, thumbs up for the dessert which I have specially requested to change for our wedding as I have tried their dessert before and I love it. It was very refreshing when it goes down the throat.

I am still feeling Full now...burrrpppppppp!!!!!!!!!!

mmmm this wkend, we are all having yummy feast...time to jian fei!

Cheers,
Mrs Tootsie

4 dian Jin

Mummy wants to get me 4 dian jin for my wedding and so this Saturday noon, we headed to the Gems shop to get a diamond ring :) The thing I like about this Gems shop is their good customer service and also I can get to choose the design I like from magazine and they will design exactly the same. Apart from that, I think its their reasonable price. I am paying half price for the quality that I can get from other prestige jewellery stores. Afterall its still a stone. In terms of authenticity, I do not have to worry....the ring will be ready in 2 wks time and you have to use a scope and read out the cert number found in the diamond as part of the verification.

Have seen different sizes of the diamond. The lady showed us a 0.56 carat diamond and it does look good on my finger..however I find that the price is too ex...ard $3 xxx, G grade. My mum wanted to get it for me...but I decided to just settle with a 0.46 carat, E grade, VS1 (perfect cut) :) Thanks Mummy.

Mummy was tempted by the diamonds there too..and bought for herself a pair of earrings for $1xxx ahahah and a ring :P

Look forward to seeing my first diamond ring :)

Our Good Friday

Hey guys how was ur G@@D Friday :)

It was an enjoyable one for both Mr and Mrs Tootsie. Our day began by exploring to the new shopping mall at Tampines and initially both Mr Tootsie and myself wanted to go and see this jap brand - UNI QLO. Guess what!!! There's a super long queue of typical kiasu singaporeans queuing up outside the shop (well I suppose there's some sales going on since the mall was opened on Thursday).

Mr Tootsie and myself hated queues and so we decided to leave this mall and will definitely be back when the crowd dies down. However its rather a fruitful trip for me as I have spotted a 3 quarts berms that my bridal designer had asked me to look out for...for our upcoming photoshoot:) and sooo I bought it! hehehe well actually I bought another one just today :P from Mphosis, just a diff colour though.

Back to our Good Friday activity, we actually headed to meet someone whom I thought I could get a deal from him for our wedding. However I was pretty pissed off by his unsure answers given to me though we both communicated before in emails. So I have decided not to get anything from him!

The day was rather spoilt by some Bast**** who opened the door of his MPV and hit so hard to our car that we both can feel the jerk. We were inside the car as it was raining very heavily out there and we needed a shelter. Darling Tootsie was extremely angry and we both decided to teach him abit of lesson. He tried to scratch back his car, however I kinda stopped him abit cuz I saw someone walking towards our direction. We were drenched nonetheless.. but we just dashed to the place and paid the deposit to the lady as we have rented something from her for our photoshoot. Feeling so excited...but hope its a fine day for us for our wedding photoshoot. When the rain stopped, we actually explored some areas that we have did some researched online and more or less, we have decided where to take our pics:)

That evening was definitely a nice pampering one for the both of us :) Especially with the company of our friends. Since last month, we have been talking about having some fine dining at Keppel Bay. Yes we did and pampered ourselves at The Prive. It was really a cosy nice place. Thumbs up for the food and services too. The bill came up to almost $450 for 5 pax. I thought that was pretty reasonable with the nice cuisine and some of us ordered wine.

Mmmm after dinner, of course we must have some dessert to sweeten up this holiday since everyone of us dressed up to the nines. We headed to 2AM dessertbar. Cool place where we can just stretch our legs and relax and sweeten ourselves with the nice dessert there. I love it!

This is the kind of gathering that both Darling Tootsie and myself enjoys once awhile:) Life is short and we live for once!

Cheers,
Mr & Mrs Tootsie

My second gown fitting today :)

Yeap this afternoon I am all ready to view my mtm main and evening gown...though I got this feeling my evening gown might not be 100% ready since it was only designed some where back in mid Feb...but I hope to see the completed design of my main gown...and hope I am impressed this time...

The first time when I saw "her", I wasnt very pleased maybe becuz its not complete or maybe I am quite a fussy person in terms of design...

I was chatting with one of the netizen also from the same bridal studio as me, she showed me pics of her completed main gown and I was totally mesmerized by it...especially her big long train :) so I hope my completed version can impressed me, as least....

Feeling real excited now...and counting down now to see my gowns and of course selecting more gowns for my upcoming shoot :) oh yess....I will be having my trial make up today under the magic hands of Mr E....hehehe so today at work, my face is all naked.

Cheers,
Mrs Tootsie
