As the title suggest, i took one week leave to go settle some important things in my life! That's like the first long leave i took in my new workplace, and it's so long!
For those who follow my Facebook, i took 2 weeks break from Facebook, and wow.. for the first time..i felt free! Felt that i am no longer living in the virtual world and i could immerse and soak fully in what is happening around me. Not only did i stopped looking at other people's posts which took up a ridiculous amount of my free time at home, i also stopped thinking of what to post on fb~ And it's such a wonderful feeling to live for yourself~ :) Maybe i shall continue my break, and just randomly go to post. Hmmmm!
Pre-wedding shoot
First day of leave was spent on taking our pre-wedding photoshoot. =) I searched many bridal shops in Singapore, but most of them offer bridal packages which include giving you 30-38 hardcopy photos, and soft copy photos, etc. As i am someone who is in love with photos, i knew that it will not be enough for me, and paying an extra $60-80 per photo is an absolute NOOOO! It's too expensive to spend so much money on a photo, seriously!
As such, when i chanced across "Yikeshu Bridal and Photography Studio" (named after the boss Eagles Su i suppose), I was delighted to see that their pre-wedding shoot includes returning of ALL soft copies to you, on top of 30 hardcopy photos. This is awesome! If you go and check out their whole bridal package (pre-wedding and actual), it is priced at a really affordable rate.
However, because i am such a detail-oriented person, i sent several emails before deciding to engage them. (dozens of emails in fact, asking them questions after questions)..Haha, you can say i really irritated the hell out of them. HAHAHA. But oh well, we got to be careful right?? :)
Was wondering if it was a scam when we went down to pay for their services in Jan 16, especially when they ask us to pay by NETS/CASH only. They explained that as this was a smaller business compared to the huge ones outside, they do not have the credit card facilites available. hahah cautious cautious.
So on 1 June 2016, Dan and me went down to take photos, and WOW..it was awesome! The photographer (Eagles) was professional and took awesome shots, the make up artist Ivy was responsible with the make up, and they turned me into a princess, one that you would not have expect, from just looking at me HAHAA! :) i was so pleasantly surprised and excited the whole trip.
Can't wait to go and collect the photos in the near future and i shall update whether they charge me more, LOL. However, for all brides to be, please do remember that ampoule for both the bride and groom, eyelashes, make-up artist to follow you around to change gowns cost $$$$$$$$$$ as well! =D
And for the girl, please don't drink too much water the day before the wedding shoot! Aside the fun part, i must admit it was tiring too! by the time i reach home, ate dinner at 10pm, drank loads of water like a cow because i couldn't do it the whole day, and wash my gel-filled hair and make up, i just flopped onto the bed and fainted. HAHA. Thank you Aston for availing yourself and driving us around to the outdoor places for shoots! :)
1st Ipoh Mission Trip
Reached Golden Mile Complex at 8.30am, one day after the wedding shoot. I dragged myself out of bed and like Pastor Bobby says, i could almost feel the bed shouting me to go back to her. :P We caught the 9am bus to Ipoh, and though i was tired.. i was really excited too!
What will happen during the trip? How will God use me? Will i be able to contribute? I prayed a silent prayer, and ask God to use me with whatever abilities i have~ :)
We then took an 8-hour bus ride to Ipoh. However, due to some delay, the ride was 10 hours long~ When we reached Ipoh, Jeremy and Angeline brought us around to try their famous Ipoh hor fan, chicken, bean sprouts, curry mee, etc and omg their food is SUPER AWESOME!! =D
We then went off to our bunk, and i was shocked beyond words at how beautiful it was! Different from what was expected. in the positive way! The next two days past by very fast as we were busy preparing as facilitators, till 3am daily for two days. We woke up at around 630am, and i was so physically tired on the day back from Ipoh! God showed up in a powerful way to me personally :)..Enjoyed it so much although it was so tiring. Will definitely go back to see my little friends, if i can in 2017~:D
Shall not type longer in case you get bored, let the pics do the work!! =DD (P.S: I was from the blue team: CARMEL!)

Please pardon my following photos which has the hp frame as i am abit lazy to cut out atm. :P oops just realise it look abit lame, but nm! muhahaha.
Penang Visitation
Took a two-hour bus ride, and reached Penang at 1pm. My auntie brought us to have lunch and i was already feeling quite sick. When we reached her place, Daniel (who usually has alot of energy) and me just fainted and slept for 4hours. After which, i woke up with a high fever of 38.6 degree. It was so horrible, maybe due to over-exhaustion as i am quite weak physically, and i just lie there like a dead fish><...our plans of giving out invitation cards to my relatives was dashed, and postponed to the next day. =(
Thankfully, under the care of my mum, auntie and Dan, my fever gradually subsided.. and we were able to go out the next day. Went to visit my aunts and had a great time..though by the time night came, the fever started again! Popped two panadol..and went to sleep..Woke up at 630am the next day to catch the 8am bus.
Due to a big accident on the expressway, the 10hour bus ride was extended to 13hour bus rides!! =X but thank God we were safe!!
Home at 10pm and ate a late dinner, fever and sore throat started again and popped more panadol.
Decided to take MC the next day as i felt unwell still..
So here i am, blogging before i go sleep. AWWW got to take care of my health le and start exercising for better immune system!! =D
Last photos of the day, my school's sports day & gathering!

one of the admin gatherings! =D
