Meet Vinz's New Target that makes him go GAGA…

Pure Awesomeness... Oh man!!!

Like what he always said, it's achievable... Nothing is impossible if you work for it.

We're heading down to Malayan Motors tomorrow afternoon to check it out up-close and personal after the Marriage Convention 2009...

See you there!

Mafia's Special B'day Gift

A few months back, the 3 of us were eating prata for breakfast at the Raffles Hospital BANQUET. “Are we in Australia, kak?” Mafia asked Sel suddenly. Vin and Sel were baffled by his question. Where did he get that idea from?! He pointed at the topless HiPPO bus that happened to stop at the bus stop, “that’s Australia bus right?” he asked innocently. OMG! It was so hilarious and adorable at the same time.

After explaining to him that we are still in Singapore and that we will need to take a flight to get to Australia, we promised to let him have a taste of taking the HiPPO some time. After thinking about it, we decided that it will be a great birthday gift for him. And wouldn’t it be more fun to ride the DUCK instead? Mafia jumped at the idea.

He was really excited about the ride...

Best?

The views...

The constructions going on...

A bit of history...

The happy faces...

Quack, quack, quack...

Happy 6th B'day Mafia! Glad you like all your presents...

Study smart & play hard!

Our “Candle Light” Dinner

The spot…

The “candles”…

Romantic? Hehe… Not! We took away New York Pizza: Queen set, Cheese fries and Vin's favourite, Spicy Buffalo Wings for dinner.

The food at New York Pizza was never really fantastic. Even so, the standard of the food seem to have dropped anyway. The spicy buffalo wings used to be hot, crispy and spicy. Now, the crispiness and spiciness is below par. They are stingier with the servings of the cheese on the fries. But the biscuit-like crust pizza that Sel doesn’t like still tastes the same.

And the service at New York Pizza is always bad. The last time we went there, we had to wait 45 minutes for our food. How can a fast food joint that long to serve food?! Well, we didn’t have to wait that long his time. But the staffs were so blur that we had to remind them for chili sauce, serviettes and even drinks. Tsk tsk…

Mama Goes to Kerala, India

Mama was so excited about her holiday in India. It will be her first time taking the airplane and her first time in India. As time drew closer to the flight, she confessed that she was nervous of flying. Thus, we gather as many relatives as possible to send her off to give her moral support.

Sel & her sister...

Hunks & Babes? hehe...

Spot the differences...

Mama smiling after all the goodbye tears...

The kids can't get over the temporary goodbye...

After she landed in India that night she messaged Sel, “kecut perut Mama, tapi best”. Then, she was on the train for more than 12 hours from Kochi to Kerala. Hopefully, she has a great time in Kerala.

Sel has taken over the cooking duties while Mama is away. The person who is happiest person with the arrangement is Vin. He is glad that his wife to-be knows how to cook now. Thank god so far, nobody had any diarrhea yet. Hehe...

For those of you who don't know... Mama is Sel's mom.

Declaring March as the Month for H's to get Engage

Haslinda & Hanafia, Hazwani & Hasif… Isn’t it coincidental that their name starts with the letter H? And that they got engage in the same month? Also, considering that both couples are expected to be wed in 2 years time?!

Haslinda & Hanafia Engagement
We have been so busy with work that we did not have time to prepare anything for them till the night before their engagement ceremony. We went home straight after work to start working on the gifts. Luckily, Ibu and Ayah had gone shopping at Mustafa earlier on to buy goodies and materials to craft.

Despite the lack of time, these are what we managed to come up with that night…

We helped decorate these in the morning before the ceremony began…

The bribe to-be in 2 years or possibly sooner…

Hazwani & Hasif Engagement
Despite having a tight schedule, we decided to accept JK’s invitation to join him for TPMS weekly dragon boat session. Hence, we only got started to prepare for their gifts the afternoon before their engagement ceremony. It’s as though history had repeated itself.

Nevertheless, we managed to come up with the following…
The bribe to-be in 2 years …

We wish to extend our heartiest congratulations to the 2 couples. Looking forward to your big day…

Dramatic Exercise Sessions with Zana

As usual, everything relating to Zana tends to be dramatic.

Here’s what happened last week…

Sel & Zana was supposed to go jogging but unfortunately, Sel’s running shoes were missing. A pair of shoes kept inside the house went missing! Sounds impossible?! Well, it can only happen if you are about to go jogging with Zana. Hehe… That girl used to be so resistant to the idea of exercising. So the girls end up swimming or rather dipping in the pool (since Sel doesn’t know how to swim).

This week…

Sel found out that her neighbour had “borrowed” her running shoes. That’s why it was missing. Funny! As she was not aware that it was borrowed. Anyway, she tried to get it back but her neighbour wasn’t home. Thus, the girls decided to go for a long walk from home to Yishun Dam.

After a short walk to Yishun Safra, Zana had multiple blisters. With no cash at hand, they had to spend more than $5 in order to use nets at 7-11 and buy plasters. By then, the dark clouds had started to gather but they were not deterred. They went ahead as planned. Before long, it started raining cats and dogs.

Zana & Sel was stranded wet & cold at Block 407 while waiting for the thunderstorm to pass...

Taking another shot to kill time...

When the rain finally subsided, the girls started walking towards home. While walking opposite YJC, Zana finally gave up. She took her shoes off and walked barefooted all the way back home. All the drama just because she did not put on any socks.

Ever since Sel started pairing up with Zana to exercise together at least once a week, poor Vin felt left out as he too needs to lose weight. The conversation went something like this:

Vin: Hah? You are going to exercise with Zana. Then what about me?
Sel: No worries! I can exercise with her in the day time and jog again with you in the evening. Better still, burn more calories. Hehe…
Vin: Not fair!
Sel: Anyway, I jog more rounds than you do in the evening. Makes no difference, as it is, I am burning more calories than you.

Vin's 1st TPMS Paycheque

It’s one of Vin’s proudest moments. One and a half month ago, he felt like he was signing his life away for the salary that he aimed for. Today, he receives his first full paycheque from TPMS. The mountain no longer seems too high and the river no longer seems too wide.

It feels so surreal.

Well, Sel is just glad that he feels motivated. No doubt, that’s only temporary.

Syukur Alhamdulillah
