updates

its been quite a while since the last entry... i've been busy!

november: apart from the pre-wedding shoot, i was also busy prepping for a conference in bangkok. i was given the opportunity to present the study i conducted last year at a dietetics congress. i really thank god for this golden opportunity and of cos, the free shopping trip in bkk! i was trembling on stage and my hands couldnt stop shaking, which was pretty obvious when i couldnt hold the pointer still while pointing at the screen!

at the start of the congress...

my tag! *beams*

all the gifts that i collected at the congress - usb drive galore!

i spent a lot of time alone in bkk as my roomies were "senior" members of the dietetic association and had lots of meetings to attend... traveling alone can be quite daunting, and now i can say i much prefer having company!

this was my dinner for one of the evenings - stewed pig's trotter with vege & eggs. i think the thais really know how to cook their pork! the meat was tender, not overcooked, yet very fragrant! i haven't tried anything like this in singapore before!

that's the chef with his pot of pigs' trotter!

december was spent attending quite a bit of social events :P i think i've spent the last few saturday nights at gao's playing MJ with him, ah hu, bill and pern pern... lady luck has been with us for most of the time.. hurhur... i think so far its still net positive :D

i'm happy to announce that pern & i have successfully booked a flat! yayness... thank god for providing us with a place to build our home :) but we wont be able to move in until at least 6 months later cos of all the paperwork and reno that will take place after we get the keys to the place...

i've also successfully extracted the wisdom tooth that has been bothering me for a while! i have to say that this dentist is really amazing. the whole process of consultation and extraction took less than 20 mins. and the damage? a mere $60. the recovery has been pretty good so far. just mild headaches, no major complications!

these are the goodies that yiling bought for me from her recent business trip. as she has some airline membership, she gets 15% discount at the airport duty free... which means my usually cosmetics spending is drastically reduced. yayness!

and lastly, before i end this post... i wanna congratulate my bro for having such a beautiful baby!

ben is soooooo cute!
