Happy Birthday to Angeline!

Happy Birthday to Angeline!

Angeline is finally 26 years old. Just before Angeline turns 26, she was in a debate with Albert. Angeline concluded that 26 is considered as mid twenties. However, Albert begs to differ and regards 26 as late twenties. Sometimes, Angeline just thinks that Albert can be so insensitive.

The first birthday celebration was arranged with friends at Funan Weng's (one of Angeline's children's mother's restaurant - complicated). Angeline really likes the Ipoh Hor Fun served at the restaurant. Even though it was just a simple dinner celebration with the birthday cake, thoughtful presents and bright sunflowers, Angeline totally enjoyed the time spent!

P/S: Angeline loves all the presents.
P/P/S: Thank you!

The Special Day

Angeline and Albert took a day leave on 10th November 2009. A day off on Tuesday feels so good for the couple. One, shopping malls are usually less crowded. Two, the week feels shorter. Three, Angeline got a day rest away from work.

The special day was not really that special because there was no special plans made. The couple simply picked a shopping mall and did some shopping. Next, the couple simply picked a restaurant and ate their dinner. Maybe it should be called the SIMPLE day.

As Angeline turns 26 this year, she only has a birthday wish. May that wish comes true in 2010!

P/S: On a side note, Angeline might just have another wish.
P/P/S: Dear Lord, if you can not make Angeline slimmer, please make all of Angeline's friends FAT!

A Surprise

On 10th November 2009, Angeline's family brought her a Tiramisu Cake to celebrate. After the celebration, Angeline thinks that she definitely had outgrown the stage of singing the birthday song, making a birthday wish and cutting the birthday cake. Weird!

P/S: Angeline does not want to count the candles on the cake anymore.
P/P/S: Angeline shall just eat the cake in 2010.

A Mixutre of Happiness and Nostalgic

The Vanda girls met up again for a series of celebration. One, it was Lissa's farewell dinner. Two, it was Wahila's farewell dinner. Three, it was Jamilah's birthday dinner. Four, it was Angeline's birthday dinner. Since everyone has a reason to celebrate, Shu Ping wanted to celebrate her happy marriage (as suggested by Jo).

The dinner was decided at Astons (Suntec). Angeline likes that restaurant very much. What is there not to like if the food is delicious, the serving is huge and the price is reasonable. However, the service crew left an even deeper impression on Jamilah on her first visit to Astons. First, they got her order of Salmon mixed up with a Chargrilled chicken. Next, they mixed up her two side dishes and gave her something that none of us had ordered. Last but not least, one of the side dish was corn on the cob which was extremely to eat and it took Jamilah a 'while' to conquer. Better luck the next time then!

Next on the agenda was coffee at TCC where the gossips seemed to stream in endlessly with Wahila talking and answering most of everyone's everything. This was indeed puzzling and confusing for Angeline. Nonetheless, everyone had a good laugh and they had discovered a secret. Shh!

P/S: Angeline loves the last group photograph to bits.
P/P/S: Angeline spent a long time editing the photographs.

We are Scorpios!

After Angeline worked at Schoolhouse by the Bay for two years, Angeline made more friends. Unknown to many people, Angeline is a slow to warm up person and she does not open up to many of her acquaintances easily.

Getting to know know people had allowed Angeline to discover that she has many colleagues who shared the same horoscope as her and they worked miraculously well together. Thus, Angeline and her colleagues decided to throw a mini birthday celebration for themselves.

Angeline is responsible for the purchase of the cake and she bought a Tropical Mango Cake for the occasion. Though it tasted slightly sour, Angeline still thinks that it is pretty sweet. After all, the celebration is indeed joyous for them!

P/S: Angeline hopes to spend a few more years at Schoolhouse.
P/P/S: Angeline is looking forward to her own birthday celebration with Ck.

PPX is back!

On Tuesday evening, Angeline received a sms while watching TV at home. She was still wondering who could it be, as not many people would sms Angeline around that time. It turned out to be Sharon who is back from Australia. It had been a good 2 years since Angeline last contacted Sharon.

Thus, Angeline called Sharon immediately and arranged a time to meet up for coffee. It was arranged for Sunday afternoon at Orchard Road. It was considered a relatively short coffee session, perhaps just about an hour. However, Angeline realises that Sharon is one friend whom she could talk to about anything in the Universe. The friendship is still there despite there is no contact between them for 2 whole years.

Thankfully, Angeline has many of those friends like Sharon. This is indeed Angeline's blessing.







P/S: Angeline misses her friends.
P/P/S: It is time to start calling her friends out.

1+1+1+1=4

Angeline and Albert celebrated their 4th anniversary on 21st October 2009. The celebration was kept very simple with a cake, a bouquet of flowers, a romantic dinner and the presents.

Angeline believes that there will be more anniversaries to celebrate together with this man, simply because they click and know what makes each other tick. True and true enough, Angeline found the man.

As the saying goes, 'To the World, you may be one person. BUT to one person, you may be the World.' Angeline shall conquer Albert's World then or is it the reverse?

P/S: Ck did not just get the Eureka's DVD.
P/P/S: Angeline bought him a briefcase too.

P/P/S: What is Angeline's present?

Angeline's New Mahjong Place

Angeline found a new mahjong place that is located at Toh Guan Road, which is just a stone's throw away from her place. What are you waiting for? Hurry up and congratulate Angeline!

Thinking again, you should extend your congratulations to Shu Ping and Clifton who had decided to make their matrimonial home at Toh Guan Road. After that, you should still congratulate Angeline for her new found treasure.

Along with the rest of the Vanda clique, Angeline made her way to attend Shu Ping and Clifton's house warming on 10 October 2009. Everyone was fascinated by the BIG clock and wanted to take a group portrait with it. If the couple wants to sell their flat in the future, they could simply throw that BIG clock in and they might just get a higher selling price. Think about that!

The next highlight was the 'RAIN SHOWER'. It was that significant that both Angeline and Wahila took turns to pose with it. Perhaps only the girls get it! Enough said!

P/S: Angeline might just get a rain shower for her new place (if she has one).
P/P/S: Do NOT think too much!

Aisha's Visit to Wahila's Open House

Before Aisha could reach Wahila's house, she already got herself lost in Punggol. That is why Aisha would never ever want to stay at that place. After much twists, turns and u-turns, Aisha got to Wahila's residence at Punggol Field in one piece.

For some reasons, Aisha was not the latest despite her rushing from a friend's wedding lunch. Maybe this could be the one and only reason why Aisha is friends with them. It is really hard to kick away this habit of being 'LATE'. Oh!

Upon her arrival, Aisha wasted no time and started taking photographs of those who were there. Papan (Lissa) was not featured once again because she was always in a hurry to leave once Aisha had arrived. Because Papan is also known as Mrs. Lim, she could be excused.

Old Vanda staff and the new Vanda staff were all featured in the photographs. Aisha wondered if Vanda has a special ability to hold people's relationships together despite most of us working for different schools now? It could be because the girls got more gossips to share now that no one would ever know. Perhaps!

Aisha is looking to the multiple celebrations on the 28th November 2009 with the girls!

P/S: Angeline's Malay name is Aisha.
P/P/S: Do you know that?

No. 1 = Luan

The girls got it right when they guessed that Luan would be the first to walk down the aisle. Indeed, the girls' prediction came true when Luan tied the knot with Li Kiat on 4 October 2009 at CSCC. It was not that difficult to make the right guess at that point in time!

Luan and Kiat decided on a wedding lunch at Civil Servant Country Club, which is a super ideal location for Angeline. The club is situated at Bukit Batok and Angeline lives in Jurong. Thus, Angeline did not wake up super early to get ready for the lunch and she could get more of her beauty sleep. Cindy was not too thrilled though because she lives in Tampines. Angeline would remind Jean to throw her wedding banquet at a more convenient location. Angeline is really not hinting at anything?

Luan and Kiat's wedding lunch was one of the best that Angeline had attended! First, there was a live band on stage. Second, there were dedications made specially for the newly weds with the papers left on each paper for the guests to write. Third, the guests were allowed to sing Karaoke! How cool is that! Last but not least, the FOOD was great! Perhaps, that could be the best reason why Angeline thought that it was that fantastic!

Though it might be the most cliche thing to say, BUT Angeline still have to say it, "Congratulations, Luan and Kiat!" The girls are looking forward to receive the invitation of your baby's first month. 恭喜恭喜!

P/S: Who is the next girl?
P/P/S: Angeline and Cindy is betting on Jean.
