Wedding Cupcakes
June 28th, 2009 · Food and Sweets
Don’t misunderstand, it’s not for my wedding, it’s for RY’s colleague.
This is my first time trying on creating wedding cupcakes, I’m actually feeling quite stressed about it. The theme is purple with certain kind of criteria for the cupcakes. For the past 2 weeks, I’ve been gradually stocking up on cake items to make these cupcakes. I’ve spent 3.5 hrs just on decorating the icing for the cupcakes, can u believe it or not, until 1130pm from 8pm. Even my parents are very supportive, they come around and have a look at my end results… ha ha…
On Saturday, after work I went with my friends to have Dim Sum at Ah Yat Abalone restaurant, Avenue K. Then I had to rush back, take the cupcakes, and deliver to the the client. Wow… the timing was so packed but I managed to pull through it. Thank God.
In my mind I kept on wondering what would she think of my cupcakes…
I got this sms:
Very nice Juleen d purple ones. I like! Thks.
It was such a relief and I’m very grateful to know. 
I get extra pocket money for my wedding prep
Latest Addition to Our Love Nest..
June 24th, 2009 · Bluish & Pinkish Life, Our New Home
We’re almost 80-90% done with our shopping for home stuffs. We are very much left with furnishing the unit once we get the key
We are so occupied with time every weekend until we can’t even have a good rest for the past few weeks. But our efforts are not wasted because we managed to get good deals for our home stuffs…
Since our last purchase, we have added:-
- kitchen appliances, i.e. hood, hob and oven;
- and all the lights for the condominium…
Next, we will need to hunt for curtains and other home appliances. We have spent a lot of money for the 80 – 90% and we’re glad we’re still within our allocated budget. I guess RuehYinn’s constant reminder works…haha!
Anyhow, we can’t wait to set up and start putting the furnitures into our love nest Really thrilled!

My Radical Fund Manager…
June 18th, 2009 · Uncategorized
This post is dedicated to my Fund Manager who:-
1. Believes in me by giving me a chance to join the Industry. He always reminded us, that we’re the cream of the crop (I know that is a SACARSM)…
2. Is a CRITICAL THINKER. His questions are so RADICAL until we are out of ideas to BULLSH*T during the research meeting. He always reminded us that, it is for our good eventhough it lower our self esteem…
3. Is a GOOD MENTOR. For the past 2 years working, I have learnt a great deal in finance and investment. He will never fail to guide eventhough it is never easy to get a STRAIGHT answer from him…
4. Is the person (and the team also) that convert me from a Pizza Hut lover to Domino’s. And by the way, that is one of the question, he asked during my job interview…
5. Is the most GENEROUS Fund Manager on the planet earth. He has no problem to buy us expensive meals, dropping us home and giving us good gifts. Trust me, when I say generous, it is generous…
6. Is the Fund Manager that inspire me to become a good photographer. The rest of the investment team together with him has great influence for my passion in photography…
7. Is a Good Friend. No pressure talking to him eventhough he is my superior. We can talk, joke, crap, laugh and etc. Work is work, friend is friend. I like it that way…
Enough of 7 compliments, now the worse 3…
8. Has the worst mood swing. One day he is happy, another day he is angry. But without the mood swing, it will not be him…
9. Has the most problem with gout. Eventhough he knew he has critical gout problem, he would stubbornly eat all the food that will aggravate gout. The next day he has problem walking… (scratching head)
10. Is the Worst Spender I ever met. No, that is not generous. He would normally spend money without second thought. He has so many things that sometimes it is hard to think what he doesn’t have…
Now that he is no longer with the team, I wanna wish him:-
ALL THE BEST IN YOUR FUTURE ENDEAVOR
Hope to see you around. As you said, “This is a small world… maybe our path will cross again.”

It’s 5 Months and 15 Days Away…
June 12th, 2009 · Bluish & Pinkish Life
Yes, it is only 5 months and 15 days from my BIG DAY. Judging from the frequency I write I am sure you guys can figure out I am too lazy, too tired, and too occupied to write. But I thought I just wanna write how I feel now at this hour. It is already 1.20am in the morning…
Seeing each day pass by and knowing I am going to have my own family soon always make me very excited. But there is one thing which I am not excited about (sorry for saying this dear), that is, getting myself so occupied preparing for the D-Day. I was just thinking why can’t people in the past, makes thing easy when comes to marriage. Why need to prepare so many things, make a big fuss about it before one CAN MAKE A FAMILY…I guess I will never understand. Maybe it is not just me..maybe it is the GUYS’ thing.
Anyway, from the bottom of my heart I know I am not complaining. In fact, I am excited! I wanna move into a new phase of my life… It is time and I think both of us are READY..
Over the past 1 – 2 months, both of us have been very busy preparing for our wedding. Here are some of the major things we have done during this period:-
1. We sold our 1st Property at Kota Kemuning – Both of us think this is the best decision we ever made. Buying this house provides us an avenue to “naturally” save for our wedding. When people say buy property because it will act as a force saving, it is true, trust me. God must be working in our lives, because we were able to sell this house via a simple post in blueepinkk.com in just 2 – 3 weeks. Best of all, we save 2% agent fee (that’s a lot of money by the way). Next…
2. Bought our 2nd Property at Tropicana - With the proceed from the sale, we can now afford to purchase a nice condominium at Tropicana with a reasonable price. I know everyone was shocked to hear we bought a new property 2 weeks after selling our 1st property. I was shocked myself. We knew we were running out of time, so we narrowed down our options, visit those places over and over again, do our homework/research till late night until we come down to 1 property both of us can agree. We have to say, we are fortunate to buy this condominium at a SUPER REASONABLE price. Next…
3. Legal and Bank – Selling and buying house can never escape from dealing with legal and banks. They cost a lot of money too. The thing I hate about this part is you have to deal with different people and have to prepare a lot of documents. But overall, I learnt great deal of stuffs here. Learning will only happens when you get your hand dirty. Now that we have a house, we need…
4. Renovation – No, we aren’t doing major renovation. 1st, we don’t have so much money to do major renovation. 2nd, we don’t think this is our ultimate staying place, so why spend so much money. Nevertheless, we are committed to make our house as comfortable as possible. Only one thing we need to watch out, that is, BUDGET. The test now is to make sure we don’t spend more than 10% of the house value on renovation. That is my reminder to Juleen all the time…hehe!
Now that is pretty much what we have done so far and the next 5 months will be divided into:-
1. Marriage Preparation like sourcing for wedding card, food tasting, arrangement with church, pre-wedding photography session and many more…
2. Getting our Love Nest ready. I think we have basically got 65-70% of the things already. We just need to get the keys in the next 2 – 3 months and start to furnish the condominium.
So what I have learnt during this period?
- I learnt give and take is the key to make things happen. It was a shame to even mention how many disagreements and arguments we had during this period. But thank God we realized it quick enough to know it was bad for relationship. Therefore, we decided to keep and open mind, do not be too fixated with our own ideas and start to give and take.
- I learnt to respect each other. There is no way you can give and take if you can’t respect each other. For me especially, I keep reminding myself that whatever Juleen decides, it was intended for the betterment of us (it may wrong decision, though), but I need to respect her opinion before discussing my idea with her. We want to respect each other and hear from each other.
I just wanna end this post by telling Juleen:-
Thank you for starting this journey
and we will end it the way
we want it…
Love You!
Goodnight…

Furniture Hunting (cont’d)
June 9th, 2009 · Bluish & Pinkish Life, Our New Home
Many people asked us why we didn’t update our blog for quite some time. Lets us enlighten you guys…
It’s because we are busy hunting for furnitures for our new home for the past 2 weekends and some weekday nights too when we have the time.
Getting the unit’s floor plan was quite troublesome too, we had to chase the management to fax us the plan for days.
Consulting with a designer on kitchen cabinet ideas
Budgeting
List of stuffs we’ve already booked:
1. Kitchen cabinet
2. Wardrobe
3. Mattress & bedframe
4. Sofa
5. Coffee table
6. Tv cabinet
Ahhh…so many errands to do and many more furniture to see. Having said that it’s been a great experience preceding to our wedding. Getting the house ready and preparing for marriage concurrently is no easy task. Stresssss… I’m sure many to-wed couples agree to what we are experiencing now.
Where Were We?
