La vie est belle

The title says it all. It’s been a stressful week and I took urgent leave on both Tuesday and Wednesday.

Mum and dad are in Singapore! They arrived on Saturday morning and we went to fetch them. I managed to wake up at 9am after Friday night’s karaoke session with my colleagues — will blog about this some other time. Suffered from some hangover symtoms that morning but I felt better afterwards. I asked them to bring some Made-In-Mauritius goodies like “biscuit manioc” and pates de fruits from “Les Vergers de Labourdonnais“. Received some wedding gifts and ang paos from my friends and families in Mauritius as well. Thank you to Angele & Lash, Priscilla Ng, my god mother & god father and all my uncles & aunties :) Dinner was at my brother’s place.

Enyu, from Pisa (Italy), landed Singapore on Monday morning and she’s staying with me until this Saturday. I knew her in Beijing during my 6 months at Beijing Language and Culture University (BLCU) learning chinese and it’s been 8 years since we last saw each other. She brought me a lot of made-in-Italy goodies (chocolates, wine, olive oil, pasta sauce etc).

Didn’t have much sleep lately — maybe just about 4 hrs everyday. I am having difficulties falling asleep (having insomnia maybe) — perhaps because there are too many things running through my mind or perhaps I’m simply not used to the snoring sound of my friend hahaha. I thought of getting sleeping pills from the doctor!

Wedding preparation is all settled. We were more busy with the ongoing house renovation. Spent lots of time at Balestier looking for lightings and toilet accessories. We had to get them delivered by the end of this week, hence this rush!

They say it’s bad luck for the groom to see the bride on the eve. So I’m staying at my brother’s place tonight and tomorrow.
