Yeah I think i am turning into a panda soon. Three late nites in a row. & I do mean late like 3plus am in the wee hours. =) Ain't as young as I was in uni days where I could tawn often and stay up every night. Now I can really feel more lethargic and when I am tired I can sleep all the way into afternoons. WAHAHA. Thanks to yesterday being Vesak Day and I had an extra day of rest. Now, let me recap what I did.
1) Teach at Berries
One of my last few sessions. I dunno. 4-5 more? Am going to make the most of it while I can, despite teaching with a sore throat and lack of sleep from clubbing at MOS till 3am on Friday nite. =p
2) Visit jw ah ma
Glad to see she's recovering well from the op. Still strong as a bull! Over 90 years of age. Amazing Ah Ma!
3) Play mahjong wif jw ah hmm, Jasmine & Denise (our cousins)
Surprisingly, I was sooooo lucky dat nite. Zi mo many 4 tai and 3 tai and gao two 5 tai. Fwahhh. $163 bucks in one hour and a half. So pai sey. Next time muz come often if not win liaoz then siam will kanna blacklisted liaoz. Eh oh. Keke.
4) Chat wif my in-laws
As usual, somehow, we will end up for a chat in my carpack and father will end up having to off the engine. Haha. This time round, we chatted about mahjong and mahjong cheating tricks. Keke. That took us about an hour. =) Till we started sweating in the lorry. Haha.
5) Watched Hong Jin Bao show and Meet the Fockers
Yeah. I stayed home and watched the shows on TV. Was so lazy. Woke up at 2pm, watched tv, slept again, eat, watch TV again. Doesn't that remind you of an animal? *oink oink*
6) Download Super Converter and Adobe Premiere CS3
Finally got down to action on my wedding preparation. Tried exploring and converting all the videos we took during our ROM and photoshoot so dat I can edit them. It's damn cheem. I'm not a very technical person who is trying to do technical stuff and has swore that I will do my own wedding video. Haha. The goal seems further and further away. Eh oh. All the video formats, codecs, audio formats just baffles me sometimes. Hope I won't give up!!~ Wahaha.
7) Set up Canon Pixma i1800 Photo Printer
Cool. So I bought a photo printer from Courts last week. Becos I reallie wanna print my own photos (though i noe the quality won't be as good) as and when I like. Plus I need to develop fotos from our ROM to make into an scrapbook (which I happily volunteered to do so that we can save $$ and not do a professional album). Haha. Sometimes I really think too highly of myself. =p BUT, I did manage to figure out how to work this printer. Wahaha. And ta-dah. I printed out 10 over fotos for my mummy. Our past CNY pics, our convo pics, my ROM pics. She was quite fascinated. Though she can also tell the quality not very very good and the photo paper I used was quite thin. Wahaha. But well, it's more than enough for me. =) Mai hiam too much. My main purpose is to bring it to Sweden and next time when we go on trips, I can print out the most beautiful ones and keep them all nicely in albums (plus send some back to our parents). Yay. Great idea, dear? Wahaha. SO, i am going to bring over not one, but TWO canon printers. One photo printer and one multi-purpose printer. Haha.
8) Use Movie Maker to get started on our wedding video
Yeah, I toyed around with Adobe Premiere but I gave up. It's a good software, but i dun tink i need such a cheem one for my simple video. Keke. But i swear one day i will learn to master it and do even nicer videos!! For now, movie maker will do. Sob sob. What if jw sees my video and is disappointed that it's such a lousy job. Haha. Sure hope not. We shall see how it goes!! Shuang shuang jia you!!!~ I am such a good encourager. Wahaha. To myself. =p
9) Create sample pics for the SMS system
Hooray. I did up more than 10 sample pics to use for demo for the SMS system. Well. It's basically just doing jpeg images, but you need to create space in the picture so that can put the SMS wordings in. How it will work is dat during the wedding, guests can SMS their wishes on the spot and will see their SMSes on the screen!! how cool is dat. Wahaha. Thanks to Yongjie for letting me know that such a wonderful idea exists. =) So now, I not only have to come up wif around 40 background pics for the SMSes, I also have to do little cards to be given to the guests so that they noe how to SMS, the details etc. It's quite interesting though. =p
10) Continue wif my bday surprise for jw
Yeah. I'm not gg to write here what's the surprise cos' he'll read my blog. Wahaha. But yeah, there's a part 2 to his bdae present, besides the envelope I sent to sweden that cost me $42.75 worth of postage stamps!!! The most expensive gift I've ever posted. Contained a self-decorated photoframe with our ROM pic that says "Junwei & Shuang, Hubby & Wife", the book PS I Love You, and a cute bdae card with lots of my writing in it. =p Glad it reached him. In just a week. (I had planned for 3 weeks, which is why I planned on paying max. $20 for the postage. Well. Plans failed. =p But it's okie..) The second part is smtg more simple, and best of all it's free to give it to him. Wahaha. Just dat I need effort in doing it. =)
There. The 10 big things i did in the last 3 days. Plus I had dinner wif my parents. =) Not bad rite. Woohoo.
Hope to sleep more this week.. Say bye to panda eyes!! (but somehow they seem permanent.. =p)
