Happy Birthday Daddy!
December 28, 2007
And also congratulations on passing all his theory exams for his flying test. He scored the top overall mark in his class *proud*.
He really amazes me sometimes, at 63 and he’s still full of life and energy!

It’s Boxing Day…and i’m at work…by choice
December 26, 2007
I’ve been terrible at blogging nowadays. I leave it too late, and by the time I FIND the time, there’s a month full of events to post! I think I shall make that one of my new year resolutions.
This is for Wayne, who didn’t believe Leon when he brought up the significance of Boxing Day.
Boxing Day is a traditional celebration, dating back to the middle ages, and consisted of the practice of giving out gifts to employees, the poor, or to people in a lower social class. The name has numerous folk etymologies[3]; the Oxford English Dictionary attributes it to the Christmas box;

Last Saturday, we went over to Wan kiong and Steph’s new pad at Sennett for a Xmas/Housewarming/potluck get together. Lots of good food, wine, and a fun round of charades. Highlight of the night was Wayne trying to act out the second word of a movie. He kept pointing to his head, showed the “no more” hand sign, and then looked like he was eating. Only after did we realise he was trying to act out Botak Jones!!! for the movie Indiana Jones! *face palm*

Penang Boy in Singapore
December 23, 2007
Today’s ride was a fitness check for me. It’s been months since we cycled the Bukit Timah trail, but it’s a good test on my fitness. Conclusion? I’m even more unfit than I thought?! Climbs that I used to be able to clear, were just too much work today!
But as usual, I still had a great time! Good workout, Good Friends, Good ride, Good food.
Our Penang-ian friend Benny Boy is also in town, so we got him out bright and early to get a taste of the Singapore trails. Although I would have liked to take him to Poobin (Pulau Ubin), but that will have to wait till next time.
We did though check out Gangsa and their new 5ft drop. Fwaarrrr….

I didn’t have time to blog about then, but here it is finally. The Gray’s Christmas Tree! We haven’t been celebrating Christmas for the past few years, so it was nice to have the tree up in the house again. Brings back memories of Christmas morning, and us kids ripping the presents under the tree apart.
Wayne wasn’t too enthusiastic about putting up the tree, hence his face had to be replaced with Mr. Grumpy Goats.
I basically did most of it on my own, and I’m glad I had it up before the ICON Xmas Party.

FEMALE’s 50 Gorgeous People - FINALS
December 10, 2007
Finals were held at The Arena CLarke Quay on Friday night. Everything just happened so fast… it’s all still a blur at the moment.
The day started off quite slow, with work in the morning, and rehearsals for the show in the afternoon. We spent a lot of time chatting, eating, playing cards, and waiting for time to pass. We were all not prepared on just how hectic it was going to be at 8pm!
The afternoon was spent getting our gorgeous locks done up by the Sebastian Hair styling team, and our sexy smoky-eye make up carefully applied by the Bobbi Brown team. I wish I had a hair stylist and make up artist for everyday of my life!! They just made it look so easy to make us look good! I can never get the smoky-eye make up nailed!
Personally… I think the 3 important things that attributes to your gorgeousness is
1. Styling (clothes)
2. Hair
3. Make-up.
All of which were done for us by the wonderful people back stage.
When it hit 8pm, everyone was in a mad rush to get changed, heel-ed and touched up. 3, 2, 1…SHOWTIME!
My heart was beating out of my chest; it was so hard to shake off those nerves! AHhhhh… Was so nervous I even made a mistake on the second walk…instead of joining my group of no.1-10, I ended up on the other side of the stage (as pictured below, number 4 is missing). Whoops! Not to mention the added pressure of those 3-inch heels from ALDO.
I met so many gorgeous people that day; Nat was in the 50GP too, so it was great catching up with her. She looked absolutely stunning, just like a Greek goddess! Then there’s Huda who happens to be Penns’ friend and a PInc customer! She’s such a sweet girl; it was such a pleasure to meet her in person.
I had 4 invites to the show, so I asked my mum, dad, sister and Wayne. My cousin Yvonne also happened to be there with them. Didn’t want to get extra invites…you know… minimise the embarrassment to just the family?!?!
So at the end of the evening, I walked away with:
- Canon Most Photogenic
- Miss Bebe-licious, and
- Female’s Gorgeous Female 2007.
My goodness, I just can not believe it! I SWEAR I wasn’t expecting ANY of this AT ALL!! Wow!
After the show, Rachel, Alan and I had our first call of duty, a small walk down to the Haagen Daz store for some ice-cream. The mango sorbet really helped to cool my nerves.
Just to end this post on a reflective note, I reckon there were people on that same stage as me who deserved to win. I wish everyone stayed to share that bottle of champagne. Nonetheless, I’m glad everyone had a good time, because ultimately that was the goal.
BIG HUGS & THANKS TO MY FAMILY, FRIENDS, COLLEAGUES AND CLIENTS WHO SACRIFICED HALF OF THEIR MORNING KOPI MONEY SMSING TO GET ME INTO THE TOP 10.
