Farewell to Joe, for he's leaving my team to be based in Hamburg for a short period of time. He will be flying off now and I must say, his presence in the team is really great.....
We had a farewell dinner last night at Pizza Uno, Bdr Puteri Puchong. It's really a nice place for dining. Their food is great & they served alot of imporeted beers & juices. We had pizzas (thin crust), pastas, garlic bread, meat, fish & desserts (not the typical type). Not to be left out were the drinks. I had Alfagato, Sangria & in the orders were also Victoria Bitter, Hoegarden & Alfagato with liquoer.
And this is the 3rd time I didn't bring my camera out *Slap head* but managed to capture some with Jaspreet's camera. Will get from here and will post some shots of last nite scenes.
Oh, not to forget to mentioned, I thought that the nite is still young coz the sky still bright. But I was tricked coz wat I thought was natural day light was the lighting from all the shops. By the time Manpreet told me it's already 9pm, I was so shocked *LOL*.

Farewell to Mary-Joe
PPP : Planning a holiday
This is a sponsered post
I have been planning on holidays way ahead of time just to get cheap air tickets and also because we can schedule Gerald's home trip back from Doha. It's not easy to plan a future trip and it involces alot of checkings and comparing for prices and availabilty of a date (especially if it's during festive seasons like Christmas & Chinese New Years). For instance, I planned for our Christmas trip to Singapore and just 2 months before that, we got to know that Gerald is going to be based in Doha till the end of the airport terminal project. So, all the efforts of booking & calling up friends in Singapore went down the drains. So, imagine if I were to plan a further destination, my face & mood will be all black by then.
Anyway, I found this site that will makes any holiday planning easier especially in getting Cheap Hotels because that's the main concern for every traveller, right? We do not want to waste all our money in staying in an over rated hotels and not be able to get around for sight seeing due to poor planning as well.
Hotel Reservations provide a 1 stop web click and you can choose you favourite tour anywhere in the world, such as London, Asia countries, New York and you name it, they got it (not those small countryside, ok... ). This site is so easy to use, just a click here and there (where you provide your dates of travel & destinations) , wait for a few seconds (yeah, it's that fast.... I tried it just now) and voila.... a few choices are shown in front of your eyes with the rates as well. Gone are the trip to travel agency and time consuming for the old days. The best part for the site is, it's available for any people in any part of the world (as long as you got internet access *LOL*)
1 day to go & 1 week to countdown
Wah... I can't wait for tomolo. Gerald will be back and we will celebrate our Anniversary in 1 week time as show on the ticker above.
I have no more mood to work but must stop dreaming now and go abck to work..... Earth calling to Cheryl...... you're wanted here....... *LOL*

British American Tobacco Diversity Cookout Session
How stupid can I be? Of all days, I forgot to bring my camera to work today & this is the day that I am waiting for to snap off all the lovely foods from different countries that were prepared by chef non others than BAT colleagues....
This is the Diversity Cookout day.... & I forgot to bring the camera *Slap head*
Basically, BAT launched the Diversity programme where by, they promote hanging around with different people in the office or during our lunch time. What's better to kick out this event than luring all the great chef in BAT to show us their countries cuisine *Drooling* and I must say, I love all those foods very much until I tapau Adam's (Poland) soups - 3 different kind of soups that taste fantastic. Not to forget to mentioned is the lovely finger foods from Ailton (Latin America) and many more...
I must hunt down the photos and blog a more detail post later .......

Getting you a present that is not too expensive is really hard since all the stuff on your wish list are too expensive for me to get. In the end, I bought you this birthday gift, a gift that is very practical for you & you sure will use it.
So..... here's your birthday gift, my dear hubby .... a gift that you can open now but only get it when you're back in KL *LOL*....

Tiring Saturday
I had an all girls day out again.... as usual coz Gerald not here & what's better to do than go find friends and shop.... But today's event is not shopping but more to eating & also buy the tickets for our holiday in Singapore....
Yup.. me, Jazzmint & Faythe are going to singapore to visit Woan Jiun in June... can't wait for that to come... It's been a long time since we get together like this....
So, I went to meet her at 11am and then we head off to 1U for our lunch @ TGIF. Lucky we order 1 set meal plus 1 main course, the dishes are too generous until we can't finish... Click here to see the scrumptious lunch we had that was written & scrapped nicely by Jazzmint. I did manage to capture some photos but quality is not very good due to poor lighting and pixel set wrongly ....
After the lunch, we set off to shop. I need to get the Buds lotion for baby 'Summer' & some window shopping. And we had a little fashion show by Faythe at the XOXO shop... she really is so cute & very 'playfull' with the mirror.... Jazz manage to captured the mini model and posted up at her site....
By then, I totally forgotten the whole mission of the day until Jazz mentioned it just in time before we head back around 3 something.... So, we made our way to the Aeroline counter to purchase our ticket to Singapore.... Mission accomplished !!!
I was so tired after that and slept for 1 hour plus after I got home *LOL* It's really an eventful day.... and Sunday will be a day for me to scrapbook & digitally wrap my hubby's present *giggle* can't wait till tomolo to show Gerald....
And here's a little scrap for Faythe & Jazz

TAG : My favourite flower
After getting tagged by friends, I thought of starting a tag as well. I just happened to saw my favourite flower on the net by chance, so, will do a tag on flowers. Let's talked about our favourite flowers & if possible, attached a photo of it.
Do continue to add ur own name & link and the person that tagged you to The Collections of Flowers at the end of the tag, so that we will have a library of flowers ;)
.....
.....
My favourite flowers would be tulips and I really wish that one day, I would be able to see a field of tulips. So, here's some facts on tulips to share with you all.
Photos from webshot
Origin of the flower:
It was brought to England in the 16th century from Middle East * most of us will think that it was from Holland *.
Origin of the name :
The name Tulips are associated with turbans. The Turkish word for gauze, with which turbans can be wrapped, seems to have been used for the flower because a fully opened tulip was thought to resemble a turban.
Meaning of Tulips :
Perfect lover, Fame, Love, Passion
Where it can be found:
Tulips only grow in cold climates country * that's why we can't see the flower in our tropical climate *
I would love to know your favourite flowers too:
The collection of flowers:
Cheryl - Tulips
*Note: You can check out the meaning of your favourite flower here
PPP : Black Diamond
This is a sponsered post
Diamonds are girls best friends and it's definately my very best friends as well ;) Diamonds are also the most precious stones on earth thanks to its rarerity and also it's the hardest stones as well. That's what makes diamonds the most precious stones. Diamonds comes in alot of color besides white and now, there's this new addition to the diamond families, the black diamond.
Diamonds are very common in jewellery and especially in wedding. Every bride would have at least 1 piece of jewellery that have diamonds setting & especially wedding rings. The reason why diamonds are so common in weddings because diamonds are forever and diamonds will glitter & shine. Diamonds also complement the wedding gown colors. Do check out this site that offers a variety of choices for wedding rings, pendants, studs and their newest collections of black diamond rings.
Black Diamonds are hot. Recently worn by many celebrities, Black Diamond Jewelry should be part of everyone's wardrobe. MySolitaire carries black diamond studs, black diamond earrings, black diamond engagement rings, and even black diamond rose cut jewelry. After visiting the site, I must say, the black diamonds are very unique and the prices or black diamonds are cheaper than diamonds. Hence, it makes a very good choice as accesories.
Secret on staying up
Since I got hooked up to PPP, I have been sleeping very late. And I found out recently that I really got very tired around 8.30pm. So, the best thing I did was, to sleep it off for now and wake up around 11pm when my hubby is back from work & also around that time, there're new Opps posted in PPP. So, that's my secret on staying up late to chat, scrap, blog & PPP hunting. Since I am not working on weekends, I will sleep until I got up naturally (^-^)

Busy like a bee
I thought today is going to be a relax day for me since it's Friday. But my work seems to pile up after lunch, thanks to meeting after meeting.
The 1st meeting is about recylcling and my team is going to initiate it for BAT. Since my team is mainly guys, we were expecting the turn up of guys to be quite alot ( only 4 girls )..... and we guess wrongly.... all girls turned up and none of the guys *slap head* . Since all girls, we chat like girls lar... & came out with lots of good ideas and I am going to help out on the designing part... Hope I can do it lar... so far, I only do for my own scrap :p
So, after that meeting, got anohter session for handover task and I just sit in to 8 only *LOL* ... Pheww.... a busy day & I ended up going back at 6.45pm to catch the last shuttle to get my car...
Can't wait for weekend now... Now set to grab PPP post & scrap.... & chat with Gerald *LOL*
