Andy Lau - "每次醒來"

每次醒來都怕你不在　
每次都想掙脫你醒來
終於明白生命裡面總有個人　
可以去愛　不能依賴

每次醒來都怕你不在　
每次都想掙脫你醒來
可是我知道當你終於將我放開　
我會在　原地徘徊

Heard this song over the radio today. I realised the lyrics kinda explained my feeling today.

Today, I nearly had a heart attack. Yj came home from work and told me he accidentally knock his head and it was bleeding. The instant the words came out from his mouth, my heart stopped for that split second as I immediately pulled his head to my eye level to survey the degree of his injury, holding my breath for the worse scene. Spreading his hair apart, right above his forehead on the left was a gash with dried blood clotted on the surface. Thankfully it looks like a mere scratch, deep enough for some blood, but shallow enough so that the blood wasnt dripping. Thats when my breath came back to me..

Thats my Yj for u, forever giving me heart attack cuz he seem to succumb very easily to work injury on a weekly basis. Sometimes a thick cut somewhere, blue-black everywhere, paper cuts on hands, a sore back or aching hand/leg.. Haiz.. I deduced its his impatient and rash behaviour that results in his injury. But what can I do? Thats y Im constantly worrying about his safety and all... -.-" I told him million of times, that he should protect himself and work safely not just for him, but also for me cuz although the injuries are on him, my heart will also ache for him cuz he is already a huge part of me.. Plus my plan for the future consist of the two of us eternally, so I never wanna lose him.

To u, my dear:

"Stay safe, for me, for our future.."

Love, Fangz

Honeymoony~ Day 3!

2010-12-02T23:00:00.005+08:00

Waking up really early in the morning, we headed outskirt to Warrock Cattle Farm! Awww... Its so exciting cuz we were heading to the Farm to see animals~!! Woohoos~ Anyway, I realised that on this trip, I had my "First" try on lots of stuffs.. Heehee~ =D

To make our hour long bus journey more exciting, I ask YJ to help me improve my horrendous Hokkien.. YJ told me to translate the story of "Three Little Pig" into Hokkien... So, In my 半桶水 Hokkien... This is what I translated...

[Zhar Gu Zhar Gu Deng Pai Eh Si Zun, Wu San Jiak "Shio" Ti] in the mere 2 lines into my translation, YJ roared with laughter in his seat, nearly waking the entire bus of sleepyheads up... :P Apparently, I had mistakenly translated "三只小猪" into "三只烧猪" in Hokkien.. Every other sentence I translated turns out to be jokes to YJ as he continued poking fun at my horrendous translation, not even 1/4 into the translation of the story, YJ surrendered and postpone my translation to a later date, before he burst out into hysterical laughter and wakes up everyone on board.

Arriving at Warrock Cattle Farm, thefirst thing that came into view was the nosey Emus peeking at us through the barricade. In a gigantic bird enclosure which houses a huge variety of birds made up of all colours, shapes and patterns. Including a beautiful White Peacock(probably an Albino) and two colourful peacocks (One male and one female, the male is the one with the long tail that opens up into a sea of colours)

Our first activity at the Farm was feeding of the baby moo moos (Calf of the Cow), two long rows of little moo moos stood in the barn waiting for their milk. We were given gigantic milk bottle like containers filled with milk for calf feeding. I grabbed a bottle and immediately headed towards the very end of the barn and fed a black calf first, he sucked on the milk bottle so hard I had to wrestle the milk bottle out of his mouth in order to feed the other baby moo moo.s I was estatic and excited as it was my first try at feeding baby calfs. A second white calf with brown patches on its body finished the milk in my bottle and I was abit sad cuz the experience seem so short, till I realised YJ was still sourcing for a hungry moo moo (hehehe! which means he have a new bottle full of milk!) *glint in my eyes*

As always, YJ knew my thoughts flashing through my eyes even before I speak up so he willingly gave up his milk bottle for me (Yippees~) and I found this White Calf with a really pretty heart-shaped brown patch on its forehead and started feeding it, initially he was not interested in the milk, but after gulping down some of the delicious milk, he started sucking the bottle so hard it nearly deflated the milk bottle! Of course I let YJ have his chance at feeding the Calf but I think he is happier with me feeding them! Hah! I had loads of fun!

Next we went milking the cow~ (Moo!) Whahahha! I was the first to volunteer to milk the cow! The cow was called Daisy(my favourite flower) and my initial squeeze produced nothing, after proper guidance from the owner, I managed to squeeze out some Daisy (Hi-Lo) Milk~ Woohooos! Its was F U N!!!!! A pity YJ wasn't interested in milking Daisy so he merely watched me jumping around having fun. As other members of my tour group get their chance with milking Daisy, I caught a glimpse of a beautiful white and black fur Border Collie chained to the back of a truck.. Although it was drizzling out there, I put on the hood of my Jacket and ran out into the rain to take a closer look at the dog. Its beautiful coat shine with the glistening raindrop on its fur and I happily took some photo of the lovely dog, who I later would come to know as the star of our next activity in the farm.

Viewing from a stand with a barrier, the owner of the Farm show us how the Border Collie would assist in the herding of their meh mehs (sheep cattles). The meh mehs were lazily grazing around a gigantic meadow but the moment the owner gave its command to the dog, the hyperactive Border Collie ran and round up the scattered herd and chased them towards us. Apparently halfway through the herding, the father of this Border Collie, a slightly bigger dog with the same lovely coat zoomed past us into the meadow and assisted his son in herding of the sheeps, it didn't take them long as the sheeps moved in an orderly manner towards us in a big herd. Amongst the lovely sheeps were four young lambs that were soooooo cute!

Next up for us was the sheep shearing, eww... At the lamb shed, we were seated in the audience stand where right behind us stood several nake sheep already shaved. Sounds of distress were coming from the other sheeps awaiting their turn to be "stripped naked" in front of the audience. We listened to the owner of the shed explain the mechanics and history of sheep shearing. Apparently the shearing of the sheep's coat is actually a necessary thing for the sheeps as it will start getting entangled into thick and messy knots if the sheeps are not shaved frequently. Plus the fact that sheeps with thick coats are always very skinny and cant grow fat. They can only be fatten to a healthy size after shaving off their coat of wool. We watched live demostration of both the traditional and current method of sheep shearing.

After we left the shed, we each had our try with whip cracking. Each of us is given a very traditional looking whip like those held by cowboys in the movies, and we were taught how to crack the whip! Although I gave it a try, I couldnt whip out the crackling sound with the whip.. :(

We were brought to an enclosure with really pretty kangaroos jumping around! Yj and I spent a huge effort trying to take pictures with the lovely kangaroos as they were seriously not interested in phototaking with us... Haiz...

Our delicious lunch was at the Farm, with really delicious Beef Steaks! Yums! Right after lunch, we had a short break. Yj and I seize the chance for the short break for a rest at the shed with the pretty bird enclosures. As we were the only two in the enclosure, we saw a fat grey rabbit which sneaked out of the enclosure into the public area! Just as I was about to take a picture with it, the rabbit took off and burrowed back into its enclosure.. Oh well.. Its definitely hard taking pictures of animals after all! Hahas!

We patiently waited for the peacocks to spread its tail and true enough, to our wish, the white albino peacock spread its majestic tail to a sea of white! Oh my, what a wonderful sight that wow us both! Shortly after, the other peacock gave us a show of its majestic sea of very colourful tail feathers! Hehe.. We are so blessed to see such a fantastic show! =D

After we left the Farm, we went to Panny's Amazing World of Chocolate where I had my fair share of history about chocolate and the yummy dark chocolates! I also had fun looking at the amazing chocolate games and fountains.. Whahahas! And Im definitely amazed by the cute looking little fairy penguin statues showcased near the entrance which is entirely made of chocolate! Including the sand in the showcase!

Our next stop at A Maze N Things where there were lots of fun and amazing games and optical illusions decorations and rooms that really tested our mind and eyes! It was definitely a fun and cool experience!

Next, we headed to the Koala Conservation Centre. Just as I was excited heading towards the Koala trees, the dark clouds starts looming above our heads. Yj grabbed my hands and hurried me to the Koala enclosures where we started playing a "spot the koala" game! Just as we immediately spotted all the Koalas and was admiring a pretty Koala mummy and its baby clinging on its back, a pity the sky wasnt on our side as it suddenly started drizzling and we had to run all the way back to the centre less than 8 mins after entering the Koala enclosure. Although we left our umbrella on the bus, we were lucky not to be drenched! :) Yj bought me some hot chocolate and we sat at the cafe, warming our bodies up and screening through the pretty pictures taken on our camera.

As the drizzle transform into a heavy thunderstorm, we sat praying for the rain to stop as its nearing evening and we were worried that the thunderstorm would cancel our Penguin Parade, an activity I have been longing for a very long time! Arent we glad the rain quieten back down to a mere drizzle and finally stopped in time for our Penguin Parade! As we walked down the pavement towards the viewing deck, the area were lined with notices saying no photography and that the little burrows we see on the slope were the natural home of the penguins! Out of curiousity, I peeped into a little burrow nearest to me and to my surprise, I saw a greyish wade of feather cuddled in the little burrow with its black beak visible from the entrance of the burrow! Woohooos! My first sight of the penguin! We sped up towards the viewing deck as I could hardly contain my excitement to see the little penguins come home!

By the time we reach the viewing area, it was already dotted with visitors and was quite crowded. We spend some time trying to locate a dry and cosy area with a wide view of the sea in which the little fairy penguins returns every night. They deduced that the penguins will come home at around 8.20pm tonight and hence, the tour leader gave us up to 9.20pm for boarding the tour bus as we take around two hours bus journey back to our hotel in the city. We waited patiently for the little penguins but apparently the penguins were late for home tonight as the first batch of penguin reached shore only at 8.50pm. We watched patiently for the penguins wobbling across the shore, cutely waiting in line for their fellow family members to join them and some comical scene of the little penguins being washed back into the ocean, only to scurry back on shore and get washed back into the ocean. What a cute scene! Hahas!

We couldnt wait for all the penguins to return and hence started back to the centre for another round of shopping. On our way back, we witnessed a batch of 8 penguins happily waddling beside us back to their little burrows that dotted the entire slope. the cutesy column of 8 was waddling on the grass patch next to our walking pavement and up close, we can see the little adult fairy penguins are only around the size of a plush toy! small and cute! And I stopped at the little burrow which I saw the baby penguin earlier in the evening and was really glad that the papa and mama penguin were back! The family of three were standing outside their burrow, with the baby penguin just a slightly shorter frame and in a greyish coat as compared to its parents. Too bad no photography is allowed. Haiz...

Yj and I returned to our bus immediately and since I had a long and exciting day, my eyelids were dropping and the next thing I knew, I was already sleeping on the shoulder of Yj as the bus travel towards our hotel.

Honeymoony~ Day 2!

2010-12-01T23:21:00.000+08:00

2 movies, 1 nice meal, 2 cups of oranges juices, 1 toilet break later, I fell into a deep slumber for a mere 1.5 hours of sleep, I awoke to an earthquake on board the flight... Oh well... the floor wasnt the one shaking... my chair was the one shaking like there is no tomorrow... apparently im seated in front of an extremely inconsiderate passenger who kept stomping on her foot rest (which was inconveniently attached to poor me's chair) like some crazy addict who cant stop shaking her legs!!!!!! I kept eyeing yj but there is nothing much he can do cuz apparently he too is suffering from the "music" composed by the lady seated on his other side who was sneezing and coughing all night long... Arghh... How I hated long flights... *tsk tsk* *shake head*

Sooooo, I watched another few movies or at least tried to concentrate while enduring the little headache bought about by the shaking of my seat and made billions of unanswered prayers for the girl behind me to just go to sleep and stop shaking.... I was tempted to just confront the girl but I withheld my anger cuz I didnt wanna spoil a beautiful start of my honeymoon...

After another meal on board the flight, we were finally reaching Melbourne about 4am Singapore time, which is approx~ 7am Melbourne time! At the passport check point, the custom office checked my passport for a very long time... I think he couldnt recognise my face on the passport because of several reasons... 1. I was quite a slim girl 7 years ago but am plump now... 2. Maybe my new hairstyle looked too weird... or I believe this is the most convincing 3. that all Asian faces probably looked similar to the Westerners... So finally after 3 minutes and asking a colleague of his for confirmation, he finally relented and let me go... -.-"

Yj and I waited by the conveyor belt which was already fully packed with human and waited as the check-in luggages starts streaming slowly out onto the conveyor belt.. OMG! Now I really understand why some people prefer to buy baggage tags since ALL baggages looks almost the same!!!!! hahhhahahas! Seriously I cant even remember what colour luggage I had checked in so I strained my already sleepy eyes and mind to try locate the luggages... Thankfully we managed to find them in mere 15mins... We followed the trail of our Tour Leader and passed the security gantry... Since we have got nothing to declare, we had to queue in front of a cutesy beagle while the little Beagle sniff our bags for contrabands and food! Lol! Now thats what I call CUTE!!! *Smiles*

On board the Tour Bus, we finally am able to relax for a short moment, but a mere 30 minutes drive later we reached our first tourist attraction in Melbourne.. We entered the St Patrick Cathedral through its beautiful Pilgram Path with a really lovely water feature flowing down the middle the stairs which leads up to the door of the Cathedral.. The exterior of the Catherdral seems normal and abit old but the interior was huge and really mysterious looking! No cameras were allowed and since only tourist visits the Cathedral early on a working day, the Catheral was serene and peaceful..

Next stop is an entirely different feel from the first.. Its the Shrine of Rememberance in commemoration of the people who lost their lives in the World War.. The whole place eludes a feeling of sadness and my eyes involuntarily shed some tears(probably due to the dry but cooling weather in Melbourne).

We stopped by the Yarra River where we went shopping instead of sightseeing for a short moment before heading for lunch at a chinese restaurant. After lunch, we visited the Eureka Tower and had a majestic and memorable view of the entire City of Melbourne!

Next stop for us is to check in our hotel at Citigate Melbourne. A nice hotel and since we are the honeymoon couple, our nice tour leader arranged the highest level room for us on the 11th floor! But the funny part is that our window actually faces the wall of an opposite building... so 11th floor with no view is almost the same as 2nd floor with no view (- . -" ) But still, its a nice cosy little room... :)

Later that night, we went for dinner with the tour group at a restaurant along Melbourne Chinatown.. As we walked back to the Hotel after dinner, we went souvenir shopping to compare the prices and ended the night with KFC for supper~

Honeymoony~ Day1

2010-11-30T23:45:00.000+08:00

I was sitting alone in a corner of our house, packing and repacking our clothes into the luggages... Two lugguage bags in total... 1 big and 1 small with a huge handcarry bag tucked into one of the compartment of our big luggage(just in case).. I scrambled around the house trying to determine what ought to bring and what not while he try to convince me there really is nothing much to bring... He took the luggages to the weighing machine and tried weighing them... Hoho! just both our clothes to bring to Australia packed in our big luggage is already nearing 20kg whereas our two person's baggage allowance is merely 20kg each! hahaha... We wonder if the baggage allowance is sufficient for us to bring all our souvenirs back...

I checked again and again confirming that the camera, money and passport is safely in my bag while he sit around playing games on my iphone... At 5pm, we bide mum goodbye and board Ah Peng's car heading for Changi Airport with our luggages in the pouring rain... Ah Peng drove us to Terminal 3 and alighted us at 5.45pm.. Oh well... We were suppose to meet our Tour Leader at T3, Row 10 at 6.30pm so we were really early (yj thought he wanna have our dinner in the Airport but we already had dinner his mum prepared before leaving home) so we strolled to Wang's Cafe for some soft boil eggs, tea and toast.. We could hardly finish everything since we were both very full...

At 6.15pm, we decided to try our luck and pushed our luggages to find our Tour Leader... Lucky for us, we merely waited for 5 minutes before our Tour Leader came and we were obviously the first to arrive.. Hehes... So we checked in our luggages and entered the Departure halls for some window shopping!!

Our flight is scheduled for boarding at 8.45pm, so we had all the time in the world from 6.30pm to shop till our boarding time... We walked aimlessly from 1 end of the hall to the other as our Boarding Belt is on Aisle 50.. We had sooo much time that he could even play his castle age game on facebook! Whaha! Finally, the watch ticked to 8.45pm and we are ready for boarding... The seats were pre-allocated hence we did not bother to queue to enter like everyone else(sitting and waiting in the lounge is almost the same and sitting and waiting on board the plane so why bother to stand and join the queue? lol)

I am seated at the window seat near the wing of the plane with yj next to me and a lady stranger next to him.. Since the wing of the plane is obstructing majority of the view I had nothing much to do.. Thankfully SQ had 100 different genre of movies showing on board hence I was entertained by the movies as we said our goodbye and goodnight to Singapore...

My little love story...

2010-11-24T15:47:00.010+08:00

In 2002, when I was 15, my heart was broken for the first time in my life. The pieces of my heart was wrenching in pain every night and I struggled to hold myself strong to face the day. I could vividly remember the dark and lonely nights where I felt abandoned in the world. I thought my heart could never fall in love again and I was certain I would have withered in the piercing pain.

In 2003, when I was 16, you came along like a shooting star flitting across my dark skies. You took me in as your godsister on the eve of Valentine's day, giving me the unconditional and true brotherly love and care I always wanted from a big brother. I was rescued from misery by you. We both thought I was still very much in love with someone else. But gradually, I know the feeling I harboured for you was definitely more that just a brother. I thought I could be satisfied with the brotherly love you gave to me so I never asked for more, fearing that I would scare you away for then, you were my sole pillar of strength. Although my heart yearned for romance, I kept myself single for you, trying to convince myself to be satisfied with just your brotherly love. I thought I could make it, but I couldnt hide from my feelings for you anymore.

I know that something was blossoming in my heart, but I couldnt voice it up to you. Do you care for me merely like a sister or am I something more to you? I never bring up the courage to ask you. I know for sure you were indispensable in my life, but I wasnt certain about your feelings for me. Even my family and friends could see that I was head over heels in love with you, but you never made a move to show that you wanted to be more than just friends.

We had a gathering with our friends over at your home. Although its not the first time I spent the night together with our group of friends(consisting of boys and girls), you ordered me to sleep on the upper deck of your bed, with you. I felt safe lying next to you for I was certain you were a real gentleman and I was right. You never took advantage of me. We were lying next to one another, shoulders touching and I constantly feel the invisible current under my skin that was touching yours yearning more for your touch. I never gotten any sleep that night, for throughout the long night, I was battling the thought to hold you and bury myself in your arms. Although there were many others wide awake on the lower deck of your bed and scattered all around the room, I was happy and contented to be quietly lying next to you although I never knew your feelings for me.

On MSN, you were telling me about your dream car. You said that if you were rich, you want to buy a two-seater car. I commented that you were selfish for you could only drive your girlfriend around but not me in the future. You promised you will drive me around. I was elated. I thought you implied a possiblitiy that we could be together but the conversation ended there and I couldnt get a confirmation from you.

You promised me that you will fetch me to my Prom Night when you pass your driving test. I heard that once from someone else and it didnt really seems like it was gonna happen but I know you were different and you never ever lied to me so I was full of anticipation. When you really passed you driving test, you took me on a ride the first chance you get and I was basking in happiness. My feelings for you were stronger every passing day but I was sure my feelings for you would hinder our brotherly relationship if one day you were to start dating someone else. I was in a dilemma for I never wanted to lose you, even if we could not be together as lovers. I did not want to go back to the days where my life was bleak as I wasnt sure someone else will come along to rescue me, just like you did then. I took the CI course as an opportunity to tune you out of my life for I knew I would be busy and away for 3 weeks.

Everyday, I reminded myself to let you go, I was worn out physically and mentally by the extreme trainings, but every ounce of my free time was still spent anticipating your call or sms. When you really smsed me for dinner, I was over the moon. But I reminded myself I had to let you go so I roped in another friend who happen to book out for the night. When we reached, I was surprised by the dejected look on your face when you see our friend. But your jubilant boyish smile when you see me was enough to chase away all my attempts to forget you and reignite my feelings for you.

When I faced some trouble during the training, the first person I thought of was you. You were as worried as I am and offered all the help you could for me. Although I was troubled, I was still comforted by your care and concern. But I convinced myself that it was merely your brotherly love for me once again.

You asked me out to accompany you on a shopping trip to buy Xmas presents. It was our first single date. We took a cab to Orchard Hotel as you wanted to know the route to drive me there for my Prom Night. I was ecstatic as we walked around Orchard admiring the dazzling Xmas decorations that dotted the streets. You asked me what I wanted for Xmas, I was very tempted to reply that you were all I want for Xmas, so I told you there is nothing I wanted for Xmas. Along the way, I saw a gigantic Funshine Bear and gave it a hug. The picture of the sun on the stomach of the carebear reminded me of your dimpled smile. You asked me if that was what I wanted for Xmas, I hesitated and shook my head. But gave another longing glance at the sun that reminded me of you. You grabbed the bear and headed to the cashier, giving it to me as my Xmas gift.

Everyday, I eyed the Funshine Bear that now sits in the most important corner of my room. I gave myself a deadline to forget you. Its nearing Xmas so I promised myself to forget you by New Years Day. I was upset. But I resolve it would be the best for us. Just like Eason's song: "就让我们虚伪, 有感情别浪费, 不能相爱的一对, 亲爱象两兄妹"

On the day of Prom Night, you arrived promptly at my void deck. I was deck out in my gown and you complimented me, saying I look really pretty. I was exuberant. While I was at the Prom Night, you loitered alone along Orchard Road, patiently waiting for my Prom Night to end. You skipped dinner and wandered on the bustling streets alone, waiting just to fetch me back. I was very touched but I was also a little upset. Now it would be harder for me to forget you, but its a promise to myself that I am determined to keep.

On Xmas eve, we were having our usual gathering at a friend's place. At the gathering, you asked me on a movie date, I was excited but I know I had to do my best to forget you, so I asked the rest of our friends if they wanted to join us. Surprisingly, none of them wanted to join us. I was not given a choice. The movie date was set on a Saturday, 28 December 0f 2003. Its was 3 days away from my self implemented deadline to forget you and I was determined to do it, but my heart wenched at the thought of missing this last date with you. I told myself to treat it like a last luxury to feed my feelings for you before shutting my feelings for you up totally.

On 28 December 2003, we were alone in the movie. I felt cold so you gave me your jacket. I push myself into the long sleeves of your jacket but was still shaking in cold. You took my hands in yours and tried to warm it up. I was pleasantly surprised, but I thought it was just a friendly brotherly measure. I look into your eyes and you flashed me your dimpled smile that melted every ounce of my heart. During the scary scenes, you carefully shield my eyes with your palm and laid my head on your shoulder. I was silently celebrating internally. After we left the cinema, you grab the sleeves of your jacket that I had donned on, leading me in the right direction. Just when I thought you were going to let go of the jacket sleeve, you slid your hand into the sleeves of the jacket and held my hands tightly with the same dimpled smile that I still remembered so vividly. I know I was blushing and my heart was beating erratically. It was almost as though I was dreaming but your grip was so firm and comforting that it was melting me internally.

Although you never tell me to be your girlfriend, I knew from that moment your hand will be the hand I want to hold on, even when I am old and withered. I know I will never let you go.

In 2010, when I was 23, you asked for my hand in marriage and gave me the best wedding I had ever wished for on 16 October of 2010. For you are the only one I truly wanted in life, and I know you will love me, as much as I ever love you. I was thrilled at the thought of starting a family with you as I know you are the missing piece that fits perfectly for me.

One day, I may start having lines on the end of my eyes. My skin may wrinkle up and lose its elasticity. I may start forgetting things and dates. But I am writing this down so that no matter what happens in the future, if I really ever forget you or our love, I know that I will be able to remind myself how deep my love for you will always be..

My Wedding Memories

2010-10-16T23:41:00.000+08:00

The biggest day of my life starts at 4.45am when I was, for I guess should be the final last time where I would be woken up by my mummy since I will be moving out of the house if the wedding is a success today. I requested for a snooze but was instead pulled out of bed so that I won't be late for my hair combing ceremony at 5am... I took a short bath with the flowery warm water heartwarmingly prepared by Mummy cuz I told her I hate bathing in the cold early in the wee morning and it warmed my heart alot as I recall her unconditional love and affection she dotes on me...

After bathing, I changed into the new pajamas Mummy bought for me and struggled to straighten the knots in my hair until my phone rang at 4.58am. My husband-to-be aka boyfriend of 7 years, yj, had called to remind us of the haircombing ceremony at 5am. Mummy, Daddy and 大姨 flustered to prepare the new comb for the event and my mum have long memorised her recital lines. Daddy, armed with his handy dandy camera, was busy snapping pics after pics of the ceremony.

Mummy began reciting her lines while combing through my hair three times,"一梳梳到尾，二梳梳到白发齐眉，三梳梳到儿孙满地"

Mummy look at me after combing my hair, reminding me that "你现在已经长大了，要做别人的老婆了，要记得经常回来看daddy mummy"

Joyous tears flowed from my eyes, but I remembered I can't cry if I don't want to end up with puffy eyes for my photos, I hugged Mummy and Daddy, thanking them for everything...

I am now officially a bride-in-waiting. =D At 5.10am, Mummy made me a cup of cereal drink. I finished the drink as I flipped through the channels on Television but nothing catches my eye as the excitement of the day starts running through my mind.. At 5.30am, I sat down at the Computer and decided to log into Facebook to update my status but apparently, the date was still invalid so I gave up and started playing Bejeweled until 大姨 and Mummy cooked a bowl of pig liver mee sua for me but I was too full from the cereal drink so I decide to just eat the pig livers.. Heh!

5.45am, my MUA Meiling from Double Up came.. She had a hard time locating my block and instead, found Blk 961 and 963 but not my blk... -.-" I guess she called at least 2 times checking for location. I sit quietly in front of my make-up table and watches her skillful hands painting on her "canvas" aka, my face with her brushes and strokes.

Poor Teresa, my dearest god sister, was being woken up by 大姨 and subsequently, my 姐妹 consisting of my maid of honour and main coordinator maternal cousin Teresa, my co-coordinator and bestest friend Eunice, my close paternal cousins Shu Hui, Wan Wei and Joyce, starts to arrive promptly and continue their preparation of the Gatecrash Party. Soon, my relatives, friends and neighbours start streaming into my room with an endless flow. Even Veron came with Louis and Claudia warmed my heart totally!

As I change into my white wedding gown after my make up and hair styling is completed, my Mummy and Daddy covered my veil for me and now, I'm officially all ready, excited and anxiously waiting for my husband-to-be's arrival. It was only 6.45am so I was busy taking photographs with my relatives and friends. My eyes kept fluttering to the clock on my make-up table, eyeing the slow seconds and was counting down to my husband-to-be's arrival. Our schedule requires him to leave his home by 7am and arrive at my doorstep at 7.10am (yeah, we both live in Hougang and is merely 7mins drive away).

As the clock shows 7.12am, the honking of the wedding entourage cars at our void deck woke up the entire block and everyone left my room to welcome the wedding entourage in the living room. Wilson, one of my paternal cousin went down to open the car door for my Husband-to-be on my brother's behalf as my brother Andy, who was just posted to OCS, could not attend the morning ceremony due to a test that will start around 1pm. :( A pity he missed my wedding morning... :'(

Alone in the room, nothing could be done to calm down my palpitating heart. I tried to calm myself down by listening to the Gatecrash party going on outside my room but the exuberant chatters of my anticipating relatives drove me into another state of anxiety as I started worrying whether the Gatecrash party might have been too tough to chase my husband-to-be away..

I listened attentively as for the arrival of my husband-to-be and his 兄弟 and they immediately proceed with the 3 games that me and my 姐妹 had exhausted extreme brain juice to prepare. By 7.24am, they had easily breeze through the 1st game and punishment and I was wondering whether I had indeed reduce the difficulty level of the game too much for my husband-to-be. Thank goodness they seem kinda stuck at the 2nd game. When the clock reads 7.35am, I could hear my Mummy pushing my 姐妹 to go easy on them and give them the keys. Although it was definitely within my anticipation that my Mummy would do something like that, I was still pretty frustrated and I wanted them to play through the Gatecrash since its a once in a lifetime memory for my husband-to-be.

Thankfully my 姐妹 and my Daddy strongly objected to my Mummy's commands but she kept trying to convince my 姐妹 to just let them in. But the 2nd game hadn't even ended and we still have the 3rd game (which we had spent the entire night before preparing) waiting for them. My Mummy's request for them to be let in kept ranging outside my door and I started nervously pacing around the room as I was trying to push out the thought to just rush out and stop my Mummy's commands. The last game seems to take forever and I was getting more excited. When the clock reaches 7.50am, I know they would be entering the room any moment now so I sat down and tried to calm myself once again, but to no avail.

Finally, a gentle knock on my door and I look up to see my suave husband-to-be entering my room in his tuxedo shirt and white suit, beaming with an exultant smile on his sweaty face. I smiled back at him blissfully as he lifted the veil off my face and gave me a peck on my lips. Soon after, we left my house for his house on board the silver Mercedes-Benz C220 from the Bridal Studio. ;)

We arrive with a short honk shortly but somehow his relatives did not hear the honk and did not send his nephew down to open the car door for us. In the end, we waited for some time before calling them and announce our arrival, and again waited for his nephew to open our car door as part of the traditions. We headed to his house which was also bustling with his ecstatic relatives and friends. We were each given a bowl of mee sua with egg where we have to break the egg into half and eat it. Immediately after, I changed out of my white wedding gown and into my red traditional kua with Teresa's help for the tea ceremony. The tea ceremony was fast and efficient since the adults are all experience and my husband-to-be is the youngest amongst his cousins and considered one of the few last cousin to get married.

After some photos are taken, we decided to stay around and wait for the buffet but the buffet was quite late, so we left his house around 10.20am and head back to my house again. At my house, I was extremely delighted to see my paternal grandfather (who rarely sets foot in his children's house) sitting and smiling happily in our living room. I was so grateful he had decided to grace my tea ceremony that I almost cried. Similarly, we were given mee sua with eggs too so we took nibbles before proceeding with the tea ceremony. Ironically, I was considered one of the first few cousin to get married so my relatives are quite inexperience in the tea ceremony hence some time was spent trying to clear some minor hiccups and make the event smoother. When the tea ceremony finally finished, we took some family photos and it was excellent, just a little bit far from perfect due to the absence of my dearest brother.

Oh yea! the morning ceremony is finally over in a flash successfully and I'm having blisters all over my aching legs! I was extremely delighted that the entire morning ceremony had ended smoothly and immediately jumped out of my heels into my birkenstock... Whahahhaa! I had a joyous time running around in my birks until I got reprimanded by the adults for changing shoes (apparently I'm not suppose to remove my wedding heels but my wedding heels are really killing my feet so I had no choice)

From my house, we headed back to his house and I finally had the chance to change out of my kua into my casuals, had some of the buffet before lugging my luggages and gowns to bring to the hotel for the wedding banquet tonight. We left our house at 1.30pm for the Hotel which is at Chinatown, Furama City Centre. I had a short 5mins snooze on board the wedding car before arriving at the Hotel around 2pm and was greeted by a japanses manager of the hotel (his english is abit hard to understand But I think I did a great job trying to decipher what he meant. Hahas!

We had two rooms, one being a complimentary room which we gave my parents at #11-10 and the other is our Bridal Suite which was at #11-07 with a fantastic view of the city area. we could actually see the Singapore Flyer and Marina Bay Sands from our window! The Bridal Suite came with a small kitchen and two televisions, one near the kitchen area which is in front of a lounging sofa and the other is right in front of the gigantic king size bed! On top of our king size bed lies 2 sweet looking swan ornament (made out of towels) and orchid petals all around. The toilet has a gigantic bath tub that sits in the middle and also a separate showerhead! I struggled out of the hairpins etched deeply in the roots of my puffy hairdo before jumping under the shower and into the nice bath tub, enjoyed the bubbly fun whilst yj lounge in the room flipping thru TV channels.

After bathing, I still have approximately 1 hour to burn before my MUA comes again. Although I am dead beat that I could sleep immediately, I merely lie next to the swans instead of squishing on them or throwing them off the bed. Yj looked at me lying next to the swans and joke about the swan having more space than me, but ended up sleeping next to the swans like me. We lounge in the room while waiting for our family to arrive one by one.

Around 4pm, we started our make up for the evening. Yj went with our 兄弟姐妹 for the rehearsal. At 6pm, everything was ready in prim and order for my Solemnisation Ceremony which will be held at 6.30pm. I was all ready in my white wedding gown once again, waiting outside our ballroom for our solemniser to arrive. Mr Tan arrived promptly at 6.30pm and we proceed with the solemisation ceremony. After signing the official documents and the exchange of our wedding rings, Mr Tan offically pronounce us husband and wife! I was holding back the happy tears welling in my eyes but, determined not to ruin my make up, I forced the tears back into the tear duct. I was so grateful my brother was able to make it to the wedding dinner, even though he had to rush back to his camp around 9pm.

Right after the solemnisation ceremony around 7pm, I headed back to the Bridal Suite with some friends while waiting for the start of the Wedding Banquet at 8pm. I was abit bored so we watched Harry Potter on Channel 5 while waiting. Lei Lei came into the Bridal Suite and I asked her whether I need to be downstairs. She said no, but commented that she regreted not being at the reception area for her wedding cuz she missed out taking photos with her friends and relatives in her white wedding gown so I headed down to the reception area and took lots of photos with my relative and friends!

By 8pm, the banquet started. My husband and I stood nervously outside the Banquet with his neice(Jiaqi) and nephew(Longting) in tow. They were our flower boy and flower girl. The ballroom played our Pre-Wedding video filmed at the East Coast Park in June and at certain point of the video, we could hear the banquet roaring with laughter. As the video ends, the song "Now and Forever by Richard Marx" was played in the background and the door opened. My heart was pulsating as my husband guided me down the aisle with our flower boy and girl in front, I look into the happy faces of our beloved friends and families throwing gigantic bunches of flower petals on us, basking in our wedding bliss and my heart did a little cheer in my chest

The dry ice at the side of the aisle created the smoky and dreamy effect but poor jiaqi was taken aback by the accumulating smoke that she paused in her tracks and look back at us as she didn't know what to do. Longting kept his cool and continued his graceful walk ahead of jiaqi and my husband and I had to nudge jiaqi to follow longting's footsteps before she continued the march with us. We were almost finishing our march when I remembered the stairs leading to the stage at the end of the aisle. I was nervous as I was calculating the chances of falling down the stage in my wobbly "killer" heels. Thankfully my husband had a tight grip of me and helped me struggle (albeit gracefully) up the stage for our cake cutting ceremony.

As I made my way down toward our VIP table, I was beaming with happiness of being a newly wed. Obviously I had no appetite for the food and only took small bites off my plate. We waited patiently for the 2nd dish before heading up to the hotel room to change into my maroon evening gown and my husband into his black suit. Although my mother in law objected to me changing into my own comfy black heels cuz she thinks my wedding "killer" heels look nicer, I secretly (with permission from my husband) changed into my comfy black heels to spare my two feet from giving way during the banquet. We arrive and waited outside the ballroom once again while waiting for our morning highlights video and the start of our 2nd march in cue of the song "My Valentine by Martina McBride". Once again, we walked down the aisle hand in hand and onto the stage where my husband popped open the champagne bottle and we had the toast with our families and 兄弟姐妹 on stage and yj gave a short and sweet thank you speech. (I had already given my speech during the pre-wedding video so I was spared the chance of embarrassing myself by stummering thru the speech.. :p)

After the toast, we started the table to table photoshoot. Since I'm in my comfy black heels I started to feel like a bird and can finally walk without wobbling my way thru so I was much faster in my strides. Perhaps inexperience, our 兄弟 arranging for the table photoshoot made me walk in S shape all around the banquet, although my shoes are comfy enough, but i was still in trouble moving around in my heavy gown. After several tables, I started complaining to my husband and they tried their very best to find the best route to accomodate both me and my cameraman (with their heavy equipment, it would be best if they do not have to walk too much too), so it wasnt that tiring after all.

Our dishes were all served quite fast and efficiently so by 10pm(a real record breaker cuz even our cameramen commented that they have never attended a wedding dinner that ends earlier than ours!). Thumbs up to the Hotel for their effiency. During the final dessert, my family and I stood in a row outside the banquet hall to thank our guests. I was grateful to our friends and family for sparing us from the alcohol all night and reserving alcohol duels at the very end of the banquet.

We thanked our lovely friends and relatives for their attendance and after the departure of the last few peeps, headed towards my husband's Poly friends, aka SKP group, for their "tekan" session. They made yj drink a huge cup of alcohol but luckily being one of the first few to get married, the rest of the group darent force him to drink too much and indeed helped him alot (for fear of future revenge at their own wedding! keke!)

After settling SKP, we have to face our biggest duel with PD... All members of PD stood around a small round tabletop filled with many glasses of wine/alcohol. They gave me an option to "save" my husband from getting drunk by giving me a 10 cent coin and asking me to throw it into the cups. Whichever cup that the 10 cent coin lands in, my husband have to drink the whole cup. Staring wide mouth at the cluster of tall and short wine glassess arrange in a where the outer row was filled to the brim and the inner row was merely half-filled. Now the stress is totally on me to aim the smallest cup but thankfully Pam Pam hinted that there is one glass of water hidden right in the centre of the cups. *winks*

Given what a lousy shooter I know I am, I was about to throw the coin downwards when everyone stopped me and commented that the way I aim will only land the coin in the front few rows of beer and that I should throw the coin upwards so that it can land further (see I was not lying when I said I was a lousy shooter, I merely just pass my marksman test in sec sch and even fail my marksman test during CI training). My first throw landed into a glass of beer filled to the brim and yj had to down it all. I was feeling guilty and getting real stressed up but thankfully the glass of beer removed had help me see the glass of water much more clearly and I tried to aim again for the water. I must have been real lucky cuz true enough, the coin end up landing in the glass of water and I spared yj from getting drunk! Satisfied, everyone grabbed a drink each and end the night swiftly around 10.30pm! Wow, still a record early time! :D

The Hotel had heartily packed the dishes my husband and I missed into plastic containers for us to bring up to our Bridal Suite. The Kitchen of the Suite also contained Microwave Oven where we could warm up our food. The excitement and anticipation in the day made me forgot that I didnt have much food in my stomach other than the few bites during lunch and at dinner. I only realise I was practically starving when my tummy growled loudly in the Suite as I change out of my gown and was heading for my bath. I bathed and lounge in the bath tub before settling down for dinner with my husband.

Today, we open up a new chapter in our lives... From today onwards, we are bound together eternally. The happiest day of our life ends on the high note with a sweet peck on my cheek from my lovely husband. (=^_^=)

Headache

2010-10-02T21:13:00.003+08:00

Was reading thru my old xanga blog n I finally realised I'm having a terrible headache from the striking colouration and fanciful happy faces all around..

Hello!?~

Bright orange background coupled with purple words in small font? I would have probably failed my presentation for the horrid choice of colours..

But then again, it strikes me that I was previously an overtly optimistic and happy girl back then... I may sound sad from my blog posts as a number of them eludes a melody of sadness (I could still feel the tug in my heart reading them now), but ultimately, the hurt felt at that moment was penned down in a chirpy, self encouraging manner with optimism for the future instead of pessimism and self-loath! *good job* (pat on my back) *grins*

Oh well... The overtly enthusiatic and optimistic me seems to have been tamed down by a large extent now, and I must still admit I have got a weird penchant for cutesy and cheerful colours, even now.. But my current blog is definitely more readable as compared to the old one.. (well, it must also be due to the change in the template, the old template which was the colour of burnt orange, was no longer accessible and I don't even know the reason for it..)

But I love the way I added my favourite quotes at the end of each post, which strongly reminded me of the various reasons explaining my love for those quotes at that particular time...

Alas, one new quote to follow, which I had known for a long time but finally understand the true meaning of the words:

"What doesn't kill us makes us stronger" - Friedrich Nietzsche

Since I'm still alive and kicking, I must say I've definitely grown into a much stronger person than I was before... =)

Facebook Addict

2010-09-05T21:30:00.005+08:00

Yeah... This is what yj is turning into... A Facebook Addict...
/( x_x )\

Alright, perhaps Im quite a Facebook Addict in the past but Im way pass that Addict stage due to my short attention span, which means I will grow sick of every game I lay my hands on in like 2 - 5 weeks.. At this rate, I grew sick of majority of the games available on FB n hence, Im no longer hooked!

Whereas, my darling yj just cant seem to keep him hands off FB...

Every day, he must play his FB games for @ least 1 n 1/2 hours before bedtime, sometimes waking early/sleeping late cuz by hook or by crook he must get his hands on FB (for fear that his energy points will overflow) (-.-") and mind u, its not just 1 a/c but both our a/cs! apparently he using my a/c, which has relatively more frens, to post feeds in order for his a/c to click n claim bonus/fight watsoever... haiz...

Lucky for me, I grew sick of all the games so Im no longer interested in FB except for keeping in touch with my lovely frens... =P

But... WHO IS GONNA SAVE MY YJ FROM FB?!

lolx!

雙子座

　　有很多的朋友，可是"看起來朋友很多，可是知心的沒有幾個"這句話很深刻的形容了雙子。雙子很能說話，他跟別人可以天南地北的聊，可以聊得很八卦，也會聊一些很嚴肅的話題。雙子可以跟你聊很多東西，可是注意了，他都只是跟你聊一些不關自己的事。隨便他跟你說些什麼，可是跟自己有關的都只是些皮毛而已。比如，今天又有某個明星怎樣怎樣了；隔壁班有多少美女帥哥的。關於自己的事，他幾乎是不說的，就算是說，也是說一些關於自己無關痛癢的事。當你想更進一步的瞭解雙子，他會很自然的把話題給扯開。　　對於自信的雙子來說，他又同時很沒有安全感，這是雙子特有的矛盾。他喜歡把自己重重包圍住，不讓自己暴露。對於雙子來說，如果在一個還不瞭解的人面前把自己暴露了，就等於讓別人抓住了自己的把柄。這樣就失去了一定的優勢。當雙子感到孤獨悲傷時，只會一個人躲在房間裡哭，或者一個人鬱悶著。　　雙子也很怕被傷害，很多時候寧願自己承受一切，也不願別人抓住自己的把柄。所以久而久之也就養成了習慣。雙子基本上也是個很痛苦的人。表面上總是很有活力，很快樂的樣子，可是沒人的時候他又總是很憂傷。雙子總會被一種莫名的悲傷籠罩。但也不會讓別人發現的，他怕被傷害，也怕被別人拋棄只能自己硬挺著一切。所以雙子很神經質，精神脆弱，容易人格分裂，因為承受了太多的東西。　　一般來說雙子的孩子都很早熟。雙子對很多的東西都在乎得要命，可是表面上就是看起來什麼都不在乎。雙子並不是故意要掩飾自己，上面說了，這只是一種習慣了，可是在外人看來他就成了虛偽的人。　　雙子是被公認的最花心、最冷酷無情的星座。其實對於雙子的花心，真的不想再說些什麼了。解釋得太多，累了，也沒耐心了。可是說起雙子，就不得不提感情，雙子這一生，似乎必須被感情牽伴，跟販情糾纏一世。很多人說雙子並不花心，只是博愛，所以才會有那麼好的人緣。忘了在哪裡看見了這樣的一句話；雙子最大的悲哀在於有兩個人的思想，斧只有一個人的身體，雙子有愛自己所愛的人的權利，也有保護彼此所愛的人的義務，雙子只剩下一個時，愛也就只剩下義務了。　　我想用如來惹去說的一句話給雙子的花心做個總結；花心的極端就是癡心的可怕。該懂的人應該會懂的。至於冷酷無情真的不合道該從何說起。其實雙子是最平和的星座，如果可以不發生衝突，都會盡量避免。雙子也很少跟別人吵架，他討厭吵架，如果是因為一些生活瑣碎小事吵架，那麼雙子就在吵完的那一刻就把這件事給忘了；要雙子真的跟你翻臉，除非是你的所作所為或所說的說實在讓雙子不能忍受，這時他會很鄙視得看你一眼，然後頭也不回地走掉，甚至會不給你留面子地離開。這時你一輩子也別想再和他和好了，就算有的雙子礙於面子和你再成為朋友，但是他們己經對你鄙視到了極點，只不過維持著這一層不得不維的"朋友"關係，其實，很大一部份雙子，對待感情是非常專一的，之所以給人留下花心的美名，是因為很少有人能夠讓略帶童心的雙子動真感情，不是雙子鐵石心腸，而是雙子個性裡面天生有一些憂鬱，一些潛在的不自信，只是雙子隱藏的深入，可是一星讓雙子動了真感情，那麼恭喜你了，雙子的天真，率直，外加表達能力豐富，一定能讓你獲得很多快樂。　　每個雙子都有一個故事隱藏在心裡，多數是不堪回首的往事，雙子是個念舊或者說是喜歡沉浸在回憶中的星座，他(她)的這個故事通常都是因情所困，動了感情而被傷害了的雙子是脆弱的，也是堅強的，他(她)可以很快的振作起來，可以當什麼事都沒有發生，這些都是雙子演給世人看的罷了，等到夜深人靜的時候，雙子內心的傷痛隨著血液滲透到全身，他(她)可以一整夜的去回憶之前的點點滴滴，可以一整夜的沉浸在痛苦之中，可以一整夜坐在那裡發呆，但是，一旦天亮了，要出去見人了，雙子馬上就從痛苦中抽身而走，你看到的肯定是一個神采奕奕的雙子，這就是雙子，擁有雙重性格的雙子，一個在世人面前樂天，快樂，在孤獨的夜晚獨自傷悲的雙子。　　雙子的愛是最永恆的，可以付出一切，有人說我們花心，那時我們沒有真正的愛，當雙子愛上一個人的時候是痛苦的，因為我們太敏感。假如雙子愛上了一個不愛自己的人，那莫我相信他永遠都不會再愛了，當愛給過了一個人，他再也沒有能力再付出了，其實太多的人都不懂我們，其實連我們自己都不懂自己，我們很會偽裝，很會說謊，但我們最細膩，對感情最敏感，雙子的愛與悲傷，誰又真的瞭解！

My (k)Night in (not so)Shiny Armour...

2010-07-12T10:22:00.004+08:00

Scary things happened 2 nights in a go... hahas...

On Saturday night, yj was having this terrible nose block so he suggested that he's sleeping on the couch for the night, I carried my blankie, bolster n pillows n settled down comfortably on the sofa next to him watching TV...

He was sound asleep while i was channel surfing for some TV programmes on Starhub cable... When I finally settled on a channel, I saw a giant Cockroach in the show, at least 4cm long... I was still wondering why would they film a 4cm long cockroach when i realise the cockroach was ON the TV screen, not IN the TV programme... so I woke yj up n ran into his bedroom with my blankie n all...

After I woke yj up, the cockroach flew n stop on his t-shirt before flying into the kitchen... I was in already feeling the gross n fear but yj merely switch off the TV n took his pillow, n drag me back to bed, ignoring the cockroach...

On Sunday night, I woke up in the middle of the night wanting to go toilet... so I entered the Kitchen, switched on the lights and head over to the toilet... I think yj have a feeling i will have an encounterment with the cockroach so he followed close to me.. when i saw the cockroach on the kitchen sink, i ran out of the kitchen, nearly bumping into yj who was following me... so he realise I saw the cockroach n fought with the cockroach, killing it in the end (nearly killing it cuz the roach was still struggling after yj squishes it... ewww....)

So my Knight (yj) in his not so shiny armour(normal t-shirt n shorts) rescued me from the disgusting roach... heh hehs... Im glad I have him in my life, saving me in times of need... =D

Brush with death

2010-07-07T22:00:00.004+08:00

Today, I had a cold brush with death...

I was on the MRT after Work, travelling to School. The MRT was crowded but I found a good spot next to the entrance and was playing my games on my Iphone with music blasting through my earphones as usual.

Nothing was out of the ordinary until I felt a sudden stuffy feeling in my chest/heart area and immediately I knew something was wrong and that I wasn't feeling well... I took out my packet of Strepsils and despite the 'No Eating' sign behind me, (I know if I dont take sugar, I will really faint...) I popped the Strepsils into my mouth... The Strepsils was in my mouth but my tongue and throat was reluctant to move.. My vision went blurry white (it seems like a TV with a poor reception), the music from my MP3 player continued playing in my ear from the earphone, but the music sounds so distant... My mind was shutting down and telling me "go to sleep"... I thought I was dying and some images of the important person in my life flashed through my mind...

I thought of yj and how I must stay awake for him.. Forced mouth to suck the Strepsils for the sugar and leaned against the wall of the MRT for support, cold sweat broke out from my forehead and I was contemplating whether to just sit on the floor of the MRT and risk my pictures being uploaded by some lame stompers, or just faint and probably some handsome chap (low chance, all old uncles n aunties around me) will hold me up...

Moments later and probably due to the sugar in my blood, I recovered from the near-faint episode just in time for me not to miss my MRT stop.. I was so scared, feared for my life first time in 23 years since birth... When a classmate of mine saw me at the Bus Stop, i could barely respond to his first question as my mind seems to be rebooting from the near-faint episode.. hahahas... in the end he said i looked pale n weak, which is true cuz thats exactly how i felt too...

Was crying whole night yesterday out of fear... I hope I'm not suffering from pre-wedding depression..

Cant see a doctor yet cuz im too busy... my boss, who is supposed to be on leave tomorrow, had to go back to work, so i cant take mc either... I was working the whole of Sunday and had to rush to school after work everyday since Monday.. hopefully i can visit the doctor on Friday for some long awaited rest...

I can hardly wait for weekend to come! :)

Pre-Wedding Videos Fun @ East Coast Park

2010-06-04T11:35:00.003+08:00

Woke up extremely early after a tired night for our pre-wedding video today... heh heh... Yj n i bought Polo Ralph T-Shirts specially for the video shoot today! hehe~ apparently his shirt (Yellow T-shirt with big orange logo) only cost S$100+ cuz of GSS discount whereas mine was S$200++ (Blue T-shirt with big yellow logo).. :(

But yj was willing to splurge on me cuz my bday was drawing near n he decided to use it as my bday present... wahahahaa... :p

so yeah, we woke up early today n i started my make up... usually i can complete my make up (fake lashes + foundation + eyeliner + blusher) in less than 5-10mins but i spent 45mins trying to stick on my fake lashes n it still dont stick!!! I was in an extreme bad mood after that cuz i bet the glue was spoilt but it was like 7am+ in the morning n i doubt i can get another pair of lashes or lash glue... even worse thing is that i left my mascara at home!! :'( so i had to go for the video shoot without nice lashes... haiz... so i had to draw thicker eyeliner to hide my sleepy eyes...

So there we are 8.00am in the morning, arriving at East Coast Park with Shengjie, who decided to tag along n go fishing after that... hahahs... our theme for the video is our favourite past time, which for me is cycling n for yj is fishing... in the end we had to wait till 9am for the bicycle shop to open we were further delayed cuz the bicycle shop was planning a surprise party for one of their colleagues so we had to wait till around 9.30am after they sang the bday song with the bicycle shop shutters still down... haha... its was a happy event for them so I didnt grumble but instead, cheered for the bday boy too~ :)

so in the end, yj n shengjie rented a couple bike n their initial stage of cycling was damn funny~ lol! hhahahaha... yj almost lost control of the whole bike~ took them nearly 10mins to get used to the 2 person bike~ hahhaha :p lucky me only need to cycle on my lovely red bicycle... hehehehe... :p *winks*

the video shoot was as tough as the photo shoot, even tougher cuz every single expression was filmed into the video so we had to maintain a happy blissful face/emotion despite the heat, tiredness, thirst n hunger... I was extremely glad im not a celebrity... hahaha.... Yj had to show in film, his "fishing skills" under the merciless hot scorching sun while standing at one of the jetty in ECP... lucky for me, after filming my "cycling skills" I was was brought to a forested area to "pluck" some flowers... heh heh... :p so most of the time i was away at the shade but under extreme thirst n hunger cuz we left home too late due to my make up blunders n had to skip breakfast...

finally around 1~2pm we wrapped up our filming n proceed to BK for our late brunch, we can see that Shengjie was very tired cuz he didnt manage to fish but had to endure hunger n all with us for straight 4 hours... lol! thanks for his help so we need not carry so many things on our own! hahahaa! :p

but once in a lifetime such experience is fun, although i wouldnt wish to do such things again... :p just one experience is more than enough! :)

Bridal Photo Shoot

2010-06-03T17:15:00.001+08:00

Greetings to my lovely blog... Haha... Apologise for abandoning you for sooo long! =P

Update on my wedding progress~ Hoho!

Went for my bridal photo shoot on Thursday 3 June 2010.. Had a tiring but satisfactory day!

Left home at about 8.30am and reached IMM approximately 9.30am, only sufficient time to drink some milo and eat some raw egg (its gonna be a long day but i dun wanna stuff myself full n end up with a bulging tummy!) before stepping into the Double Up Bridal Studio in IMM around 10am...

Immediately, I am being led to the make up area. My make-up artist was very nice n professional! She dolled me up until I could barely recognise myself! hahah! Had my hair dyed a honey brown so when she doll me up, she said I look like a mix blood(i wonder if its true...) but teresa did say I have facial features that are strong and I must admit I do look a weeee bit like a caucasian.. hahahaa!

Indoor Photo Shoots

Okok... We began with the indoor photo shoots, where we had a hard time (both me n yj) figuring out how to listen to the photographer's commands: twist butt left, twist waist right, left leg front, right leg back, left arms softer, right arm higher, chin up, eyes down, smile! Haha... Changed between my four gowns (1 Acutal Day Gown, 1 Evening Gown, 1 Kua, and 1 Gown just for photos) and his 2 coat + 4 shirts (1 black n 1 white coat)... so tiring la! had to "balance" on that skinny heels for the entire morning until around 2.30pm!!! 2.30pm to 3pm is a very very short lunch break where yj n i shared a packet of rice n we didnt even finish it before we head out for the outdoor shoot!

1st Location: Greenery behind Hort Park

It was SOOOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOTTTT!

Have to walk around grassy areas in my heavy gown and smile without frowning under the extremely hot sun! (yeah... sky was quite good to us, didnt rain on us... hahas... just shone brightly away at us.. thank god im not a celebrity n i dun have to take outdoor shoots like this anymore... just once in a lifetime is MORE than enough!)

Have to sit on the grass patch wearing the gown! omg! after that my butt feel sooo itchy~ (erm... ya.. unglam but hahas... thats the fact though... :p) this green spider (around the size of a 5cent coins) keep crawling onto my gown while i was taking the photo.. the sight of the spider made me shiver n i had to brush it off at least 3 times! (yikes...)

2nd Location: Labrador Park

Still very hot but more trees around for shade... while we were taking the photos, i saw something moving underneath the 6th layer of lace on my gown... (btw, i think my gown have approximately 10 layers of lace, aiya.. wedding gown ma... hahas) there is a brown cricket struggling to get out so i ask yj to help me n we "rescued" the poor fella from my gown... (i've got a feeling the poor cricket have migrated from Hort Park to Labrador Park! hahas!)

Guess what!! There was a rainbow waiting for us~ hahas! Life so good on us cuz the sky didnt rain but there was a very nice rainbow over our head... Initially I was in an absolute bad mood from the walking in heavy gown and tiring photo shoots but the rainbow totally make my day! hahas! its soooo lovely~~ ^-^ as lovely as my yj's three dimples~ (oOpSs.. :p)

Finally finish filming at 6.30pm so we head back to IMM for dinner... Woooh! Best dinner I ever had after starving for the entire day~ hahas!

BUT!!! Tomorrow is still a loooonnnngggg day cuz we are taking our Pre-Wedding Video... Look out for update~ :p

Evaluation of the House I have drawn...

2010-04-19T17:55:00.000+08:00

Hihi...

The owner of this blog, who disappear for a long long time, is back again, for a short while... :P

Just to share a test I did on Facebook, which I think is pretty awesome... :)

Well... I'm supposed to draw a house and it will evaluate my personality and character. The result is as follows:

Dear Evelyn Yeo, you have drawn your house. Here is the analysis:

1. You are sensitive and indecisive at times. (spot on!)

2. You are a freedom lover and a strong person. (of course!)

3. You are shy and reserved. You always want to live alone. (Okok, I admit it.. They are right...)

4. Once you have a problem, you need a friend with you. (Yes... I can't stand loneliness)

5. Your life is always full of changes. (I can't stand a stagnant life...)

6. You will avoid being alone, and seek the company of other whenever possible. (Well.. It depends on who the person is... Sometimes I rather be alone... :P)

7. You love excitement and create it wherever you go. (Wow.. Sounds like I'm a Tornado.. I suppose I'm not really like this? Am I?)

8. You are an ordinary and down-to-earth person. (I'm very ordinary and live a boring normal life...)

9. You are also tough and will meet success in important issues, without many difficulties. (Push me and I will be tough!)

10. You added a flower into your drawing. The flower signifies that you long for love. ("v")

11. It is also safe to say that others dont see you as a flirt (Really? Hahas... Doubt anyone will look at me as a flirt when I dun even have many close male frens around me right?)

12. You dont think much about yourself (Alright alright... I admit I always think of myself as the itsy bitsy little pea in the big complicated world... whahahahaa~)

Enjoy this little piece of self evaluation of mine~ =D

The Proposal~

2010-01-23T15:03:00.000+08:00

Alright, 50 years down the road, I wanna remember today, just the way it is... :)

Today, after weeks of working OT on days where I dont have classes and also on Saturday, began as a relaxing and the usually boring Saturday morning for me... Woke up feeling lethargic n started surfing the web... I could really use this day to just laze around and recover my energy for the upcoming tough weeks...

Received a call from Yj around 2pm, he was still working in his office but he asked for my plans tonight... thinking since im sluggish n all, I really rather juz slack at home like a "nua tang"... but he said, "By hook or by crook, I MUST meet you tonight..." Since its a command, i gave in and told him to drive me to his house once he finishes his work..

4pm.. Yj picked me up from my void deck n off we went to his house... As usual, without sensing anything wrong at all... I entered the house and head straight to the washroom to wash my hand n feet after greeting his mum.. strangely he didnt follow suit but rather disappear into his own room... Not suspecting any foul play, I slowly "sashay" my way around the house before heading towards his room.

His door was close (which wasnt usual) and standing in front of the door, i could feel the air-con coming out from the gaps.. (ps: he was suppose to be at work n not home so quite impossible to switch on the air-con, unless his mum switched on the air-con cuz of the afternoon sun, but thats not something she will do normally...) Thats when i realise something weird must be happening..

When i opened the door with care, yj was standing there with a ring box (we bought the ring last year) and a bouquet of red Daisies (Finally he got the right flowers, although slightly wrong colours la.. haha! My top favourite is Orange/Yellow Daisy, then Red Daisy... but still im glad he didnt buy me roses again... =P hahas!) Quite shocking for me though cuz i wasnt expecting something like this to happen on a normal Saturday... =P

Yj looks nervous with this amusingly shy expression on his face that I believe I probably wont get to see it ever again.. (^_^) Yj went down on his knees, shove (he is really very nervous) the flowers into my hand and said, "Dear, I dont have much time left... (Erm... he's actually referring to the time line left for our wedding, which will be on 16 October 2010.. and the fact that he know the both of us will be so busy with work and thus he probably cant plan for a grand proposal... rest assure he is not hinting some life n death illness/situations.. =P) So I'm proposing to you now... Will you marry me?"

Well, shocking for me, but before i could even give my answer, he was already trying to put the ring on for me.. So politely, i replied "You should wear it for me after I give my answer right?" Lolx! But his response was "Aiyah... I know ur answer la... but u wan u say lor, n he continue putting the ring on my left hand."

So I said, "Ok, YES!"

Erms... so the proposal event was a short, sweet normal ceremony, unlike what i expected in the past... Hahas! But Im officially engaged and for now, I should be calling yj my fiance instead of boyfriend! :p I rather refer to him as my "Finance"! Hahas~

Ok... enough lameness... I wish that yj n I could have a beautiful fairytale ending of being Happily Ever After~ =D

Love Story

2009-10-12T16:45:00.000+08:00

What would you do if a person loses his temper with you whenever you really do something wilful and wrong, but looks at you apologetically after scolding you or seeing you cry?

What would you do if a person forbids you to buy toys at your age, but knowing that you will still buy it rashly, gives in to your wilfulness by saying that he is willing to pay 1/2 of the dream branded bag that you really want, knowing that the both of you cannot afford it that easily?

What would you do if a person is willing to spend more money on you than himself?

What would you do if a person brings you to eat Ajisen Ramen today cuz you told him you feel like eating it yesterday?

Are you really a person who don't know how fortunate you are to meet someone so wonderful? Why would you want something more or impossible to have when you already have someone faithfully waiting for you everyday?

Be grateful...

First Time...

2009-10-11T17:13:00.000+08:00

Friday was the first time I bought concert tickets from Sistic's website... Well... Actually my Mum wanna watch her idol, Fei Yu Qing and she asked me how can she get the tickets..

I long intended to buy her the tickets, but when she really say out loud straight to your face asking you to buy the tickets, I do feel unwilling lar... But anyway, still bought it for them! :D It cost me $260+ for 2 tickets! (of cuz muz buy for dad too! although he really is not a big fan of Fei Yu Qing, but we can't expect Mummy to go alone right? I have to survive on grass for this month again! *sobs*)

Anyway, Yj and I head down to Hg Mall Sistic counter to collect the tickets on Saturday.. At the counter, we were queuing behind one Aunty, so when the girl at the counter took my collection receipt, she said out loud? "Tickets to Fei Yu Qing?" den both the Aunty and girl at the counter stare at us like we were some weirdos... Lol!

Y leh? Young adult cannot buy Fei Yu Qing Concert tickets ar? lol! Its for my Mum n Dad ma! Anyway Yj say I very lao ya... Should give my Mum n Dad a surprise instead of gong gong say "Ok, I buy for u..." Haiz... He didnt realise that if i dun tell her, later she buy with Dad herself den jiu waste money ma.. pengz...

Arghh...

2009-10-10T16:43:00.000+08:00

I can't revive my old blog anymore... bear with the new look and I'll try to figure out how to operate this thing when I have the time... -.-

Life is like a battlefield..

2009-09-21T20:32:00.002+08:00

Was chatting with some friends a few days back when i came to a realisation something about relationship which I think is essential for me to share with everyone.. :D

Life is full of obstacles, if we can find someone who is willing to fight all "battles" in life with us, we should be grateful... As the old saying goes, we must learn to give and take.. If your family/friend/spouse/partner is undergoing rough time and have to fight some battles in life, remember to fight their battles with them instead of starting a battle with them.. Isn't it better to have another warrior in your battle, then engaging in a new battle with them?

Similarly, if they are sincerely your family/friend/spouse/partner, they would definitely be willing to assist you in your battles in life... Of course, we do not insist that they fight our battle "for" us, but by having another comrade in our battle, I believe the difficulty level of the battle will be lowered while the success level of the battle would rise tremendously.

To all my friends... Instead of fighting your own battle, please find the right person to share our burdens, be it a family/friend/spouse/partner...

I have found my perfect "General" to fight my battles with me... I am also willing to be the person fighting his battles with him.. What about you? :D

I wish you, my friend, all the best in finding the right person...

omg~

2009-05-30T10:08:00.000+08:00

Hey yo everybody!

Its been a looonnngg time since I came back to update muah life...

Quick updates:
1. Yj and I went to Elly's Kelong in Tanjung Pinang on the 8-10 May 2009... Damn cool and relaxing lar! I got in close contact with the sea breeze, fish, mother nature... Saw my favourite Turtle!!! Woohooo! Could not hide my excitement there.. Of cuz, we went fishing for lots of fishes, stingray and sotongs (i caught one itsy bitsy fishy :p, other fishes were caught by yj n his dad). Played with wild hens and chicks, wild dogs, squirrels and even saw an Eagle perch on the wooden railing in close proximity. The road opp the Kelong was littered with the local residents' houses. Directly behind the houses lies a vast forested area which I was forbidden to go because of the stories of Pythons looming around. Truth is, they even caught a 3 metre long snake and hung it up at the entrance to dry! Wow... No picture though, cuz u all know I loathe taking pics... But its still a fantastic trip, reminds me a bit of my camping lifestyle in Pulau Ubin eons ago, but with different people now... :) Memories are precious...

2. Yj bought me to Lee Hwa Jewellery to choose my proposal ring from the Destinee range on 23 May 2009! Heh... To be honest, (like i told yj), when he told me to choose my proposal ring, i was quite stunned.. I stare into display case with so many shiny diamond rings staring back at me.. Then, i set my eyes on “her”.. Okok... Shall not sound too crazy, I set my eyes on “it”.. It seems to be waving back at me with it sparkles (erm... yj raised his eyebrows when I said this.. but pls believe me, its simply pre-destinated...) :P so without second thought and less than 15 mins, the purchase is made.. Tada~

He will be keeping the ring 1st lar, cuz he haven’t proposed yet... :p He did hint that it wouldn’t be too soon though so I not expecting much from it.

3. We haven’t fix our wedding dates, but almost decided on Dec 2009 for the ROM and Dec 2010 for our banquet. Venue of Banquet still deciding. Hehe! Wow... Alot of things to decide, but at least we settle the Si Dian Jin for the wedding le. A set of white gold with diamond instead of the usual gold. :p Now actively on my diet plans as usual! Heh!

4. SIM-RMIT accepted me into their Part Time Bachelor in Econs n Finance le! Yeah! Starting School in July~ :D

5. Palm Reading on facebook.. I love this result, but dunno the authenticity of the result though.. Result as follows:

Eventful and fulfilling life
Your hands tell you that you will have an eventful and fulfilling life in which you enjoy exciting successful career and personal moves and the fact that you are making a tangible impact on people around you. You will find constant changing factors around you and at times you may feel tired having to keep up with them, but you will always feel fulfilled looking back at the things you've accomplished.

6. Irean pestered me to try this “The Perfect Engagement Ring” test on Facebook after knowing I chose my ring.. I must say this result suits me perfectly and yesh, my ring is unique. It must be since I already set my eyes on it! :D Result as follows:

Unique
You are as quirky as they come. You march to the beat of a different drummer and always stand out in the crowd. No one ever tells you what to do! Become a fan of International Art Jewelers to have access to special savings and promotions!

7. I just tried this “Whats ur Luv Story?” and you can all guess the result:

You have a great relationship with your boyfriend. In fact, it seems you're already in love.

Hahahaha... Kk... Enough of my blabbering... Gotta do my job in the wedding preparation... STRESS!!! But happy... :) Tata~

Home Alone (considered alone since my bro alwaz come home soo late! haha!) for me this week...

Mum and Dad went to Thailand. Despite the political turmoil. BUT! I did (almost on a daily basis before they took off on Tuesday night) to try to convince them to change their travel dates to avoid unwanted trouble, but to no avail. My warnings or persuasions were not heeded.. :( But less than 2 days without them and I desperately miss them already! Sobs...

Anyway, I already wished them safe journey, bon voyage, lots of love and lots of fun for the trip! ~Pray for their safety~ :)

Updates at work, slogging like a bull everyday as our work keeps piling on me, but Dor and Sexy Neo have been great help these days(Thanks lots! *Huggs*), helping me cope with the escalating workload, but I still longed for the carefree and fun days with Val with us and YouKnowWho not around.. :(

However, we do see a slight change for the better in YouKnowWho this week. Sicko Marko was the one who brought the issue up first. Although the nosey character is still around, she does seem to be doing her job and I have totally no issue with her not bothering me most of the time. Lets just hope she keeps up with these and not find anymore rubbish instructions to wear me out! :D Okok... I promised ppl to stop talking about work since the LONG WEEKEND is here!!! Yippppyss!

Im gonna cook ready-mix pasta for yj and my brother(provided he is home) for lunch tomorrow, den we shall head to Suntec - Kushinbo for dinner (Yj's treat to his family, Im invited too! :D), den East Coast Park on Saturday morning. We are supposed to go sotonging tonight, but I havent gotten any confirmation till now so my hopes arent high..

TO EVERYONE OUT THERE!~ Enjoy ur weekend!!! Relax~ No matter what comes along, take it in ur stride, life still goes on and you need to enjoy ur life to make the best out of the short time u get to stay! :)

Last week...

2009-04-25T00:12:00.000+08:00

An extremely busy week for me... OT almost everyday...

Went to visit my godparents in Chai Chee on Monday night.. :)

The last I had saw them was on Chinese New Year and I admit I have dragged the intended visit for too long. They actually had to call me up to visit them... I feel so unfilial... :(

Anyway, i felt elated to visit, miss them lots... Chatted with them for awhile over dinner before yj came to fetch me home..

Then OT OT OT....

Tonight yj went fishing in Pasir Ris again. But I was too tired to go too..

Tomorrow, my family and I will be having dinner with my godparent and my godsiblings. We will probably head down to Downtown East for Jap food~ Yummy!

Sunday is my paternal grandfather's 83rd birthday... Was choosing between a rabbit statue and a rabbit jade pendant but thankfully called my parents and found out he was never keen on such things... Final decision! I will give ang bao! :D
Hope next week will be a good week for me! Let's love life together! Yeah!

TataS~

*Edited as of 26 April 2009*

U know the issue of me being a genuine gemini and me being extremely fickleminded? Yeah~ Eventually I didnt give my grandfather ang bao after all! Bought him Bird Nest(heard from Mummy he does take Bird Nest so I almost got him Bird Nest on a yearly basis since I got together with Yj) and also bought Bird Nest for Mummy and my godmother for Advanced Mother's Day gift
(which is supposed to be on the 10 May right?) to thank them for bringing me up all these years.

Yesh, my godmum is like a real mom to me, despite no blood relation. Can u imagine I cried like there was no tomorrow whenever i left her house for home when I was little?(I mean little as in from the age of 1 years old to 12 years old, i never leave their house without crying for one hour! and its true! ask my dad or goddad, even my uncle knows! ask them if u dun believe me!)

Anyway, I spent a total of $200+ on all these! Arghh!! Gotta survive on grass for the next 2 weeks... Lol! But I never regret spending money on the people I like, especially if i have to make up for all the wrong things ive done to them... Sorry mum, godmum if i ever did things to hurt u through the years, I know i may not be the most filial of all, and may be defiant, but i love u lots and never really meant bad.. Yeahs~

Lost at the intersection of Life

2009-04-19T23:51:00.001+08:00

Boo…

Attended a wonderful wedding dinner last night. My best friend’s wedding. Handsome groom and extremely gorgeous bride and I get to see and enjoy dinner with my fav ppl~ :)

Anyway, hereby wishing the couple more wonderful lovely time for the years to come! The next time we see you again, I hope there are little "monkeys" clinging to u all like a tree(jessie's description")

Sharing more of my inner thoughts, heard these few songs on the radio these days. They practically described my feelings now.

1. 蔡卓妍二缺一

“无言以对独自面对身边没人陪
眼泪滴进了咖啡充满药水的苦味
让我受罪独自面对孤单的滋味
筑起墙围向后退跌倒了心力交瘁
假使从来只存在我一个
没有和你穿越底端的沼泽
今天即使我单手拔河也不觉得坎坷”

2. 谢安琪-欢送会

“离开的要离开过去的喜怒哀乐喝下多少杯多少祝福语一句一句走过人间的澎湃成为你的未来离开不留伤害香槟酒一瓶一瓶及友谊万岁陪大家一起迎接生存永恒的常态对明天忠诚的崇拜”

Why would I say these songs describes my feeling?
First song describes how I feel in the office right now. I have to face and bear with everything alone now that she left the firm. We used to be known as “Buy one get one free” by our bosses because with her around, we discuss and learn together. But I have to learn to be independent again. Not that I couldn’t, but it takes time for me to get used to life without her. :( Obviously, I still miss her so much...

On the second note, this second song describes people leaving us daily and instead of grieving, we should be cheering for them at their newfound opportunity and cheering for retaining our friendship. Which is the song I cling onto whenever I selfishly want her back with us.

Enough of my grumbling… Have to sleep my full to prepare for my battle with youknowwho tomorrow. Tata~

hiding under the covers

2009-04-17T22:42:00.000+08:00

Yep... I am really hiding under the covers while typing this entry.. With the lights out and the television flashing in the background. Lolx!

It’s a dark night, had a tiring day but something happened tonight left me extremely (ok... maybe I’m exaggerating, but I must admit it’s a little bit more than normal) elated...

Stupid youknowwho never come to work today. Thought I would be happy, but she left me alone with lots of work to do on a Friday! My entire morning was spent trying to churn out an email. Stressed me out so much I was practically pre-occupied with how to draft the email the entire morning and throughout my lunch, moving around mindlessly.

Quoted from Dor : “Evey, your eyes look so zombie like...”

Of course lar.... I was so stressed out! But thankfully I got a superduperly amazing boss. I ran into his room and sat with my pathetic look and grumbled that I dunno how to draft the reply. Instead of giving me a tick off, he actually say out the reply in less than 5 mins! Omg~ 20 years of experience sia.. I wrecked my brains for almost 2-3 hours and in less than 5 mins after listening to my grumble, he blurted out a short and sweet response... *smiles*

After work, I met Val on the way home and went shopping... MISS HER LOTS LAR! Though just saw her on Tuesday, but we really miss each other so much that we emailed each other alot these few days... Hehe!

Now I’m alone at home... Yj pang seh me and went fishing loh...

Dun wanna explain y but I’m happy... Happy... HaPpY... HAPPY! Yeah~

Lalala~ Tata~!

Tomorrow is a big day! =D

Adapting to life without u...

2009-04-15T00:01:00.000+08:00

Yesh... Like I said, yesterday is Val's last day in office...

Life is so BORING without her... Work keeps piling... youknowwho keeps yakky takkying....

Haiz.... I feel like.... Arghh... Sianz...

Quoted from a colleague "You look like you are dying without your twin around..."

Ya... Mayb killed by the piling files and papers sitting on my table, or heart attack by youknowwho...

Goodbyes...

2009-04-13T23:31:00.000+08:00

Today is the last day I can take Bus 70 to work together with Val... Its her last day of work! Boohooo~ :'(

Perhaps I should update u all on the reason y she is so important to me.

On the first day of my life in Temasek Polytechnic, she is the first person I spoke to when we were standing outside the labs, waiting for our class to start. Perhaps its really heaven's will but less than 5 minutes into our conversation, we realised we lived a few street away from each other and takes the same bus to school. From that day onwards, throughout our 3 years of poly life, we spent almost 2 years in the same classes and hence, often take the same bus to and from school together.

After our graduation, we went separate ways, but ended up working in the same office soon after. This started another 2 years of taking the same bus to and from office together. In the office, we sit next to one another and practically face one another every working day. Which makes her someone I see for the most in the past few years, much more than anybody else.

In the office, we were always being called as "Buy one get one free". We always do things together and coordinated very well together. As a friend, she is a very good listener. I can tell her anything under the sun. From make-up to clothes to guys to family to love to work... We talk about ANYTHING...

Nevertheless, she is leaving for a job with better prospects. She is a mentally strong and capable woman and I believe she can take on and adapt to her new job very well but I would still like to wish her all the best in her future endeavours.
Even though she is not in the office with me anymore, I trust our friendship will still survive on strongly.

Anyway, as quoted from Val, "My new office is only across a river ma, we are still near one another, can always meet for lunch or dinner or shopping!"

P/s: No matter what, we will always be here for you in times when you need us.. Still loving u lots... *Chim Chims and Mur Murs* :)

Princess Jia Qi's 1st Birthday Party~

2009-04-12T14:53:00.000+08:00

Today is a big day for Jia Qi~

Yj woke me up at 8.30am to accompany him to MDIS for his FYP submission. He drove to school while i was almost dozing off on the passenger seat. zzz... He wanted it so early cuz of 2 reasons:
1. Cuz today is last day of submission, he dun wan to queue too long for submission, so he decided to go early;
2. Cuz if we go earlier, we can go home earlier to help out on Part 3 of Jia Qi's birthday preparation.

...ZZZZ...

Anyway, we saw Claudia in school. The three of us went for breakfast near a pretty old market in Queenstown. We sent Claudia home and went directly to his brother's house.

Part 3 of the Birthday preparation was just beginning when we arrived. Lei lei roped in me, yj, Ah Peng(yj's brother), Ah Di(yj's cousin), Ailing(yj's sister), ZC(Ailing's husband), Long Ting(Ailing and ZC's 3 year old son), Li Hui(Lei lei's best fren), Li Hui sis and Vincent(Li Hui's husband and Ah Peng's best fren cum "mistress").

Firstly, we collected the Birthday cake, which is a three tier minnie mouse theme cake weighing 3kg and costing them $150, from an online vendor. Next, we moved all the decorations from their house to the community hall . Imagine me, yj and Ah Di hugging 4 balloon flowers each and almost filled up the entire lift, twice!!

We hang up the birthday banner and decorated the Community Hall with the pink and white balloon flowers we had tied yesterday. The balloons kept popping and bursting while yj was busy sticking them on the pillars and wall. We were guessing the balloons burst either due to the heat or the stony walls.

We blew up helium balloons and tried to do an arch of pink and grey balloons but the wind will blow our balloon arch around so we had to tied the centre portion of the arch to the ceiling. Then, our balloon arch turned from a smooth curve into a triangle arch. Lolx.

After spending the entire morning and 1/2 of the afternoon doing all the decorations, we finally had time around 3.45pm to go home for a short freshen up for the party which will start at 4.30pm. By then, I already used up 1/2 of my battery and was already feeling extremely sleepy, but I took a bath and recovered part of my energy for the long night ahead! lol...

Finally, we return at 4.45pm and the buffet tables were already set up. Lei lei also rented a kiddy mickey theme balloon bouncing slide for the kids coming for the party and its was already set up by then, with Rui En starting to play on it first. People start arriving gradually so more kids joined the bouncing slide.

Our Princess Jia Qi was dressed in her satin pink dress with her hello kitty shoes(dun ask me why minnie mouse theme she wear hello kitty shoes, i oso wonder but i think they bought the shoe because its pink and matches her dress ba, haha!), as the star of the day, she wore a hairband of cutesy minnie mouse ear and the trademark ribbon on the minnie mouse ear~ Damn cute lar~

Our princess was busy learning to walk in my hands while invitees stream into the party. We received many envious glances from Lei lei's neighbour and at that point, I was kinda proud of the successes of our decorations. *beaming smile*

Once the party start, our princess was busy being carried around while I was busy distributing the balloons and candy packs to the kids at the party. Jia Qi received lots of presents and ang pao, but she kept trying to give her ang pao away(eh.. 1 year old leh, wat u expect? say thank you meh? lol! :p)

At around 8pm, we brought down the 3 tier birthday cake. The birthday cake was extremely nice, so from the moment we brought out the cake, people started to surround the novelty cake and all the kids almost destroyed the cake before Jia Qi can cut her cake. Jia Qi was busy drinking her milk so mummy Lei lei had to guard her cake while Jia Qi happily drank her milk. Lol.

When we really cut the cake, it was enough to be distributed to everybody, with plenty of leftovers. However, nobody came back for a second helping! lolx. Guess the cake really justified the saying of "Looks nice but cannot eat" cuz personally, i think the cream cake taste worse than normal cakes u can buy from bakery. Erm... But as I said earlier, it was a very very nicely decorated fanciful cake. Only bad thing about it is it doesn't taste nice at all. But it does take nice pictures though! :)

Anyway, they ordered buffet for 80 pax, but only around 40-50 people came. So there were plenty of leftovers. In the end, we had to call Shengjie and Fang Ling down to help us clear food and even having plenty of food left for everybody to pack home.

By 9pm, I was already soooooo tired I slumped into the seat when Shengjie drove me and yj home. He told me I look like I'm dying which I totally agree cuz I really feel like I'm dying.. Practically almost dozing off in the bath. Perhaps the busy day really wore me out so much i could feel a horrible back ache and fever coming up... Sian....

But ultimately, I can conclude the following:
1. It was a successful party cuz everyone is happy with more than enough food and fun going around;
2. It was a fruitful event cuz our efforts for the past few days paid off as alot of people gave us positive critics on our decorations; and
3. The birthday girl was grinning and laughing throughout the entire night, she is really a happy baby.

Last but not least, I hereby wish our princess Jia Qi a healthy happy and wonderful life.

Party Preparation

2009-04-11T14:14:00.000+08:00

Yeah~~~

Tomorrow is Valerie Leow Jia Qi’s 1st Birthday!

Yep, Jia Qi is yj's brother's daughter.

Time passed soooo fast, she was still a teeny weeny newborn baby last year, but is now a cutesy weetsy one year old toddler with the toothy grin(four big upper front teeth and 2 small lower front teeth)~ KawAii~

The party was held at the community hall of their Aspella Estate. A nice big spacious area for parties and celebrations. The theme of the party was Princess Minnie Mouse! Reason being she was born in the year of the Rat... Hohohohoho...

Last saturday, me, yj, and his mum went over to his brother's house. The whole afternoon, me, yj and his brother's wife, lei lei were busy cutting out the "HAPPY 1ST BIRTHDAY JIA QI" on shiny Pink, Purple and Silver cardboard paper. The wordings were around A3 size and in a pretty cursive font. Our fingers ached soooo much after finally cutting out all the words. Thereafter, we tried to create "Balloon Flowers". We tied 2 White Balloons and 2 Pink Balloons like flower petals with a small pink balloon in the centre and it look really nice. We left these 2 balloon flowers sitting in their house to wait and see how long these balloons can last. We found out our balloons can last for almost a week! *grins*

Today, we went over to his brother's house to continue with part 2 of the party decorations. We pumped an entire room of white and pink balloons and tied them up into balloon flowers; 4 white balloon as petals and a small pink balloon in the centre, and 4 pink balloons as petals with a small white balloon in the centre. Next, we went to Marine Parade to collect a tank of helium gas, which can pump up to 100 balloons, costing around $70 per tank, rental for 3 days. We also sticked the "HAPPY 1ST BIRTHDAY JIA QI" on the banner, lei lei and her mum tried sewing the cardboard words on the lacey banner, and it took them around 5 - 10 mins per word. We saw that it took her tooo long, so decided to staple the words on.. :p Anyway, from far, it won't be too obvious. Whahahahahah...

After that we went to Nagomiya(Aroozoo Avenue) for dinner, I still absolutely adore the Korean style Stone Pot Bibimbam, whereas yj love the BBQ grilled Beef, but yj's family kinda don't enjoy it. They either say the rice too salty, porridge too sweet or dun like BBQ... hahahahhahaa...

Anyway, remember my previous post on whether the price of the fake prawn bait will affect the sotong catch rate?

Well, it was proven tonight at Punggol End. They managed to catch a small sotong (or is it cuttlefish?) using the $5.90 bait but non using the $2 nor the $2.90 baits.

Vincent's theory does seems a wee bit convincing. I will personally try it out once I recover from this horrible sore throat... Thats all for today~ Watch out for the big event tomorrow! *grins*

Sotong sotong?

2009-04-09T16:00:00.000+08:00

Today we went to Changi Aloha to attend yj's cousin's baby's 1st month birthday.

After the birthday buffet + BBQ, we went to the Changi beach area to catch sotong.. Lolx...

We brought along our reel and rod and one $2 fake prawn bait. Yj asked me to hold on to the fake bait while he set up the rod and the reel. After that, he kan chiong snatch the bait from my hand and accidentally hooked the fake prawn bait on my finger, leaving a splinter in my finger, which he removed by making a small ugly hole on my finger with the fish hook... *sobs*

Anyway, it was pretty low tide so yj and his bro spent 15 mins casting our bait but couldn't catch anything. I said I wanna try and yj cast the line for me. But less than 2 mins into my reeling in the bait, my bait got stuck in the stone and yj had to remove it for me. :(

We spent 5 minutes trying different angles to remove the bait from the stone. After finally removing the bait from the stone, we had to leave. Another group of people who came after us already managed to hook up 2 sotongs while we merely caught glimspes of sotongs swimming around, but have no catch at all.

After leaving Changi beach, Yj and I went to Changi Village Tackle and Bait shop to buy some fake prawn bait. We bought one worth $5.90 and one $2.90. The $2.90 one looks bigger than the $5.90 one but Vincent alwas tell Yj's bro that the more expensive bait have a higher sotong catch rate.

I wonder the authenticity of Vincent's theory and yj will be going sotonging on Friday, wait for the results ba~ :p

Project?!

2009-04-08T14:04:00.000+08:00

OoPs...

My wifey still knows me best...

Yep... Was busy for the past 2 weeks helping yj with his Final Year Project, and I must admit I did most of the work too!! He did the researches, I did the writing... My English CMI, his English is WORSE! Lol! But I still think I did a pretty good job.. *sMiLes*

Will update on the PaRtY again~ Tata~

Sickly week...

2009-04-01T23:07:00.000+08:00

Am down with a bout of stupid flu last week... Urgh...

Was on leave on Monday, went to work on Tuesday, MC for flu on Wednesday, went to work on Thursday and MC again on Friday.

Yup... guess the stupid medicine is not working on me~ Doc gave me anti-biotic this time round, I tend to be sensitive to anti-biotic and will have puffy face after taking it. No wonder tons of people keep telling me I looked pale, despite putting on make-up.

Arghh... Stupid flu go far far away! I sound like a raspy old man...

Why on earth do people enjoy clubbing so much?

2009-03-29T23:16:00.000+08:00

Yesh, was there @ St James last night...

SURPRISE!!

Yah... Probably no one expects this from me but I was seriously there and I did leave early, 4.30am in the morning! (Wow~ I surprise myself too! :p)

No boozes for me, was there to celebrate our Princess Kelly's Birthday. (Plus the fact that 1. I don't/can't drink, 2. I was taking flu medicine, 3. I don't wanna get myself drunk for nothing)

Loud music blasting my ears the entire night, I finally saw(for the first time myself though this is the 3rd time I clubbed) how the scary partying goes. All the hitting on, dancing, intimate actions, extremely packed room, boys n girls, drunks, scary monsters.

My theory : Its just not me to enjoy this. Anyway, once in a lifetime, I believe I have tried this one Saturday night and I think i've spent the maximum amount of time I can afford in this lifetime to club last night. I am NEVER EVER gonna go clubbing EVER again! LOL! It probably takes an extra strong reason(or perhaps a heavy concussion to blank out my memory) to convince me to club again.

Anyway, the heavy night left me sleeping 5am in the morning and waking at 12pm in the afternoon on Sunday. I did not drink at all, but still felt terrible. This is what exactly happened to me:

Upon waking at at 12pm, I saw yj's miss call at 11am. So I return call and talk for about 2mins before getting the call cut off due to his hp low batt. I slumped in my bed, waiting for his return call.

No return call after rolling in bed for 5mins, heard someone playing the Maple Story version of "Its too late for Valentines"(adapted from the song - Apologise) on youtube in the living room. I thought it was my brother and decided to go watch with him. So (in my horrifying just out of bed look) I stepped out into the living room.

I gave a short glance and realised someone was sitting on my coffee table using the laptop and immediately assume it was my borther's friend. I did not look carefully as I was too conscious my unkempt look might just seem too horrifying for him, so I grabbed my cordless phone, ran into my room and called his house but no one was home.

I slumped back into bed, roll around another 10 mins and almost decided to while waiting for him to return my call. But already awaken by then, I finally decided to go to the bathroom to bath.

Then I realise the person sitting in the living room, watching youtube, whom I had earlier assumed based on the one short glance as my brother's friend, was actually yj. His already lifeless hp sits on my coffee table.

Conclusion : I was stunned to the max lar!! What the~ Can u imagine a night @ St James can cause me to wake up groggy and cannot even recognise my boyfriend of almost six years in a glance? Once again, I repeat I am NEVER EVER gonna go clubbing EVER again! LOL! It probably takes an extra strong reason(or perhaps a heavy concussion to blank out my memory) to convince me to club again.

Romantic dinner with friends~ :)

2009-03-27T23:56:00.000+08:00

Went to Bliss @ Punggol Park for dinner today, was nursing a heavy flu and a sore throat but decided to grace our Kaili's birthday celebration that evening.

It was an extremely long time since I had dinner with Kaili, Stephanie and Wei Kiat, probably 1st time ever since we last graduated from Secondary School eons ago.

I had no idea that Bliss(the last time I went was probably 2 years ago with PD) was such a romantic location. I say romantic because they have this nice wooden platform built over the pond in Punggol park, dim and pale orange lightings with candles on each table. Sitting on the platform, overlooking the night scene of the Punggol Park pond is really totally different experience.

Had an enjoyable chat and dinner with them and I will definitely be looking forward to having dinner with them again. :)

Dinner with the Rabbits~

2009-03-27T00:10:00.000+08:00

Tah Dah~

Had dinner with Wei, Hui and Joyce at Cafe Cartel @ Tampines Mall.

I did not eat anything heaty ok? Am nursing the flu bug that was troubling me since last Tuesday.

But I really shared a memorable night with the Rabbits.. (Hmm... I probably haven't explain but my cousins and I are known as the Four Rabbits because we were all born in 1987, Rabbit year, a few months apart. Anyways, its like a nickname our parents address us with as we always do things together when we were younger, hard to abandon a nickname our parents had been calling for the past twenty years right? :p)

Anyway, we rarely meet due to work committements, relationships, school. Finally get to meet them after months and received updates from them about their life.

Took the same bus home with Joyce, she encouraged me to continue my diet plans, and even shared with me her experiences and things she had learnt from dietians. So I will keep up on my diet plan~ Yippie~!

Ok.. Late now~ zZz soon! Tata! :)

~Walking~

2009-03-16T15:47:00.000+08:00

Yj having his exams now...

I have tons of free time on hand now. Will be walking as usual!

After work at 6pm, I'm going to walk for 30 minutes from Suntec to Dhoby Ghaut MRT station... Then I will take NEL to Hougang, followed by 40 minutes walk from Hougang MRT station from 7pm.

Its going to be fun walking my old route home from Hougang MRT again for the next few days...

Who do I wish to see?

You~! you! You! YOU! you~ and YoU!

Lolx... Tata~

DOUBUTSU-URANAI

2009-03-15T08:59:00.000+08:00

Did a little personality based on Birthday date today after being tagged by Aili...

http://world.doubutsu-uranai.com/

My results as follows:

You are Black Sheep who has soft sensitive atmosphere and kind of feminine attraction. You are not shy even towards men, and are very sociable. But unlike the atmosphere you possess, you are not that romantic and dreamy.

You are extremely realistic in that you try to build a steady business and safe family. You have great will power, and are very strong woman.You can manipulate men tactfully. You can serve them well to make them successful in life, and you will not easily give up half way. Nevertheless, if it is about yourself, you tend to be loose, selfish and indecisive. You can make objective decisions, and will not be influenced by emotions. While you place importance on harmony of the people, you do not forget to subtly promoting yourself.

Therefore, you tend to have wide contact of people from early age. You possess both dark and light side of personality, and that character comes out according to situation. You can feel sorry for something, but you tend to be obstinate and not able to adapt to people around you. You have rather strong maternal feelings towards men, and tend to take too much care of them. This makes other people feel being interfered. So you should be careful.After getting married, you will work hard on cores, and become a good wife. Although, you become devoted to your husband, when both of you get to middle age, your relationship may change, so you need to think up something to avoid such situation.

My comments as follows:

Things in bold are the things I agree upon. Yep! Thats my character.

However, the rest of it does not even sound familiar to me, so I sincerely don't think it describes me at all! Unless its a side of me that I don't even know I possess? Hahahaha...

Anyway, quite an interesting result, do drop by the website and give it a try k? Post ur result on facebook for all to see!! Whahhahahaha...

For my precious old FRIEND

2009-03-12T21:01:00.000+08:00

Thank you for being there in my life, my friend. I miss you.

Regrets happens to everyone daily.

These few days, I spent lots of time thinking. In my dreams. On the bus. Walking. Working.

I realised, it shouldn't matter to me anymore. Yes! It SHOULD NOT affect me anymore. I should be mature enough. This should not be affecting me AT ALL.

Its merely a dream. A simple, happy, lovely and innocent dream where we were back in our old days....

You gave me more than one chances. I made my choice back then. So what if I regret the decision now? Nothing will bring it back.

A few lines dedicated to our old friendship from the song
明天以后 - 林峰/泳儿:
我对你感觉胜过爱情
还来不及对你说迟到的我的心动
我从来没对你说压抑的我的心动
其实也想好好爱你只怕到最后不小心让你伤心对不起

Love,
Me

You are lovely and caring. You help others and spread out a lot of sympathy. Your life aim maybe is to serve the people. But your weakness is that you forget about yourself, your own needs.

Family

2009-03-04T23:10:00.000+08:00

I realised how lousy I am as a Sister/Daughter today.

My younger brother went to Taiwan with his school for a week on Monday. But I only know about it the night before Monday when he asked me whether there is anything I wanna buy from Taiwan..

Well, I was aware of his Taiwan plans, but I kept thinking it was merely in the unconfirmed stage till he suddenly asked me whether I wan him to bring me anything back. Then, it suddenly drawn on me I have been neglecting him for the past few years.

My only memory of him is of us really talking or accompanying each other is on those nights when Mummy and Daddy went to Malaysia and ordered me to stay home to "look" after him. We either spend the night separately in our own room, or he will have his group of friends over and I'll lock myself up in my room. Maybe the cockroach catching incident was one of the few things we do together... :)

Seriously speaking, we grew up together, obviously our characters should be somewhat the same. We both feel the brotherly sisterly love for one another, but just can never bring ourselves to show out physically our care and concern for one another. Tonight, I saw him on MSN when he is in Taiwan and we finally chatted on MSN. You can never imagine the excitement and longing for him I suddenly felt that - I Miss Him.

Yes, I missed him.. Just merely three days of him away from home and I am missing him. But I never did tell him that. How do you expect me to phrase it? I don't know.

Daddy was deployed to Batam for work purposes tonight. I was home alone with Mummy today. Missing my brother made me realise I missed my Daddy too.. Yes, I am a sentimental person, and I am usually what you call a Daddy's girl cuz I really am my Daddy's little princess. He always let me have my way and he dotes on me the most. I know that, everyone knows that.

I was using the Computer when Mummy suddenly asked me whether I want to sleep with her tonight. I stared at her with the questioning look and realised the last time I trully embraced my Mummy or actually sleep beside her was when I was only 3 years old, just before my brother was born.

I hesitated on a reply and continued to stare at the Computer screen. 5 minutes later, she asked me the same question again. I was surprised at the second time the question was posted. She sounded desperate to convince me to sleep with her tonight. I realised she seems to be missing my Brother and Father as much as I do and she really needs someone accompanying her throughout the lonely night.

In an attempt to fulfill her wish, I turned off the Computer silently and grapped my Pillow, Bolster and my Quilt and ran into my parents' room. I arranged and re-arranged my Daddy's pillows, trying to find the most comfortable position to sleep on this unfamiliar bed.

I quieten myself to sleep for the night, listening to the light snores of my Mummy. She stirred in her sleep and I felt a hand place on my head, patting me to sleep lightly. Tears swelled up in my eyes as I was reminded of how my Mummy used to coax me to sleep. I hate to cry in front of my family, especially her. I held back overwhelming tears.

In this one single night, It drawn on me the most important thing in my life is my Family and I love them deeply from the bottom of my heart, more than anything else.

Facebook - Pet society

2009-03-01T22:38:00.000+08:00

Finally after some persuasion from my princess Tigerlily, I decided to join facebook, somewhere in mid December...

I love the way I can scribble on people's Wall... I finally got in touch with some of my long lost friends, I love the games, especially Pet Society.

Yah, yah... Like anyone don't know I'm a sucker for cutesy stuff? Lolx... My favourite colour is Brown~! So my little pipi(my pet's 1st name) is actually brown in colour which looks like a rabbit with big brown eyes.

I love the game, but didn't wanna spend too much money on it. So I have to waste my own time to scrub and play little games with her. If you are reading this and have added me on facebook, please join the game! I want to visit more friends, so I can collect money by visiting daily. You can play with me if you like, but most importantly, leave a character there for me to collect money from~! Lolx...

Eunice noticed something: My pet, her pet, Veron's pet, Kelly's pet and Aili's pet mostly looked similar! Lolx! No wonder we are such good friends ar? *Winks*

After the Twilight Movies, I realised I LOVE the name Carlisle~! (I told Dor I think the main reason I love this name is cuz this name was the name of a company, the name was printed on the calendar sitting on my desk for the whole of 2008, but is still there now~ hehe!)

So I renamed my pet to Carlisle and changed a pair of sparkling bright eyes with long eyelashes for her. Subsequently, I got myself a dress that resembles the Snow White ensemble and decided to put it on for Carlisle. But yj commented that Carlisle look weird in the attire with her brown skin so i decided to change her colour to white to literally turn her into Snow White. Subsequently, I realised that Carlisle now look exactly like Nix's pet.. Lolx... *Great mind thinks alike eh?*

Anyway, if you send me any messages on Pet Society and I did not reply, its just not my fault that yj don't wanna tell me about ur messages!! Hahaha... Ya... He is the one who played it for me daily.. Cuz I want more money but lazy to play, so he helps me play! Lolx...

So if I invite you to the game, please please join... I want more friends to visit lar... Thanks in advance~!

Enough blabberings~ Byess~

My comments as follows:

I treat all my family members like my friends so thats the reason why most of them are on the list. Probably the questions are really meant for friends and not relatives, so its all phrased in such a weird manner. But I spent almost 1 hour trying to finish drafting this note, so I am NOT going to re-do it!! Hhahahaha, a stress relieving script though~ Enjoy~! :)

Finally... A new handphone...

2009-02-28T15:07:00.000+08:00

Yesh... I finally bought my own handphone(after around 4-5 'old hand me down' from ppl ever since I lost my handphone the previous xmas), I went to Singtel Shop with Dear Dear n my dad to buy my new hp, HTC Dream aka Google Phone aka I Google, I bought it with my own hard earned money(sobs, no more sponsorship from dad after i started working) but I am extremely elated! Lolx!

Well... I was contemplating between an I Phone and a Google Phone... However, My dad bought I Phone for my younger brother last December, so it seems ridiculous for me to buy something my brother also have right? So I strike a (losing) bargain with him... If my Google Phone is not nice/fun, I will trade it with him for his I Phone...

I mean... who on earth (except for me) will be dumb enough to trade a new phone with someone else for an old phone?! (Me...) Cuz my impression of a hp is just something that restricts my privacy... :p

Anyway, this decision/bargain came about after my discussion with my bro after he told me that he like Google Phone's apps cuz the phone, which runs on Android Operating System, seems to offer more personalisation...

Yep... Wish me all the best with my new phone! :)

25 random things about me... :)

2009-02-22T05:17:00.000+08:00

Did an interesting note on Facebook today.

You are supposed to write a note with 25 random things, facts, habits, or goals about you.

1. I am very lucky to have 3 cousins born in the same year as me... They will always be my bests friends in life... I love them lots!

2. I am very lucky to have another cousin, one year younger than me, who knows all my little secrets and will always be around when I need her... I love her too! She used to stay with me for a few years.. Now, on the several occasions she stays over, I will be forced to take leave on the next morning... She loves to carry on our traditions of late night confessions that will last to the wee mornings...

3. I am lucky I'm in love with my "best friend"... Yes, my boyfriend is one of my best friend who knows me better than I do! :)

4. I have another best friend from my secondary school... We started out hating one another to the core, but ended up being the closest friend one can ever get... We are as close as a family.. To the extend that she really helps herself to anything she can find in my fridge at home! Haha~!

5. I have yet another best friend from Temasek polytechnic, who also turn out to be my colleague at work, sitting right next to me now... We started taking the same bus to poly from our year one and still takes the same bus to work now.. We have been taking the same bus for the last 4-5years... She is the one person I see most in my life.. Lol!

6. I love anything and everything about feng shui, face reading, Chinese traditional date reading, fortune telling and Chinese ba zhi reading... Dun be surprised to know that I do know how to read them all, but I am not a professional yet.. Still learning from my godfather, who is my shifu... :)

7. I love romance novels, TV shows and movies... Maybe not so much of the heartbreaking suffering loves... I prefer romance comedy... :) I will be so engross in them that I will practically feel the heartbreaks and pains... Its traumatising and can be excruciating at times, depending on the author.

8. I need a minimum of 8 hours of sleep everyday... My max can be 28 hours where I am forced to wake up because of dehydration.. Anyone who knows me well enough will understand why they must keep a 1m distance from me when I have not enough sleep... In those rare circumstances any of them gets on my nerves, I will BURST like a sleeping volcano on regardless of who they are...

9. I have little patience for things/people whom I have totally NO interest in... :)

10. I am Gemini, with extreme characters...

11. I like Edward Scissorhand(Johnny Depp) – Edward Scissorhand.

12. I like Naoki Irie from the Comic Itazura na Kiss... The Japanese TV version of It started with a Kiss featuring Naoki (Takashi Kashiwabara) and the Taiwan TV version of It started with a Kiss featuring Jiang Zhi Shu (Joseph Cheng)..

13. I love romance of the Three Kindgom... My favourite character is Guan Yu, but in the movie Red Cliff, my favourite character is Zhuge Liang(Takashi Kaneshiro)... hahahahha

14. I love both Twilight Movie and Novel... I love Edward Cullen in the Twilight(Novel), but I prefer Carlisle Cullen(Peter Facinelli) in the Twilight(Movie)..

15. I love anything/anyone who looks cute... :) especially toddlers... Not so much of babies but I like toddlers with the toothless grin, heartwarming giggles and their sparkling eyes... Ooh... *smiles*

16. I love dogs, tortoise, elephant and lion... Dogs for their loyalty, tortoise for their aura of elegance, elephant for their long eye lashes *grins* and lion for their bravery and majestic command as king of the jungle... :p

17. I am not one to strike/begin a conversation first, unless we are very close then I will start talking rubbish.. Only then you will realise how rubbishy I am... I hate the “silence” when I am with friends so I will start blabbering rubbish to avoid the “silence”... :)

18. I think handphone is a stupid creation... Yes, I agree it brought in convenience of communication, but I hate the fact that it makes me so easy to be found, especially when there are times I want to hide from everything... People who know me well will know that most of the time, my handphone will be low on battery... :) Not doing it on purpose though, its just natural of me to forget to charge my handphone... Hahahahahahahaha...

19. I love music with fast and lively beat/tempo, or nice lyrics...

20. Some of my favourite English songs are from Jason Mraz... Such as his “Geek in the Pink”, “I’m yours” and “Lucky”...

21. I also like “A public affair” by Jessica Simpson because of the lively rhythm ... :)

22. More of my favourite English songs are from “Pocketful of sunshine” and “I wanna have your babies” by Natasha Bedingfield...

23. Don’t expect me to cook... Anything that can be eaten can be mixed... Try my cooking at your own risk.. *evil grin*

24. I am straightforward if I treat you as my best friend... Don’t expect me to sweet talk you into believing lies... I TELL YOU THE TRUTH... HARSH TRUTH... I do this because I love you too much to see you suffering from the lies... I rather wake you up now and face the harsh reality with you then let reality hit you on your own... If it were to be in your shoes, I will want you to tell me the truth too... :)

25. I am happy and contented with my life and everyone/everything I have... All the setbacks and drawbacks are fixed in life, together with the joy and happiness, allowing you to enjoy the rides in life... If there are no sadness, there will be no happiness in life... If there are no pain, there will be no feeling of sweetness in life.. If there are no failures, there will be no feeling of satisfaction in life... I want to experience them all to make me feel the meaning of life...

My comments as follows:

Wah!!! U can't imagine I spent almost 3 hours on this note sia! But I realised I know myself better after this!! Lolx!

3 hours leh~! Argh... I need my bed now... ZzzZzzz... :)

"If you could see me now..."

2009-01-31T14:27:00.000+08:00

A book by Cecelia Ahern...

Its a romance novel, about a restricted relationship between an adult and her imaginary friend...

Yesh, you did not read wrongly... An adult and her imaginary friend... How cool can it get!!! A novel about imaginary friend? I must admit that she is really very creative and smart author! Well, at least it is something not everyone can think of? lolx

I can only say its a very nice novel, just like her other book "P.S. I Love You", which was written into a movie of the same time some time ago... This book is about a widow, who received a package from her dead husband called 'THE LIST', which contains a few letters(marked by the month) that he prepared for her before he die... Every letter instructs her to do something for her life, which is meaningful and helpful to her(in some ways) to adapt to her new life without her husband... This is definitely a heartwarming and touching book...

Both books triggered my tear duct and I lost counts of the number of times I cried while reading both novels... Anyway, I am a sentimental and emotional person, thus explaining how easy it was to make me cry..

Her other book, "A place called here" is about a girl who grew up trying to find missing things/people throughout her life.. However, one day, she stumbled upon a place where all the missing things/people goes... Its a very interesting story, but not much a teary book... Haha...

I really love these books and will recommend it to all my friends! Anyway, I borrowed the three novels from the Cheng San Library, so if you are interested in the book, just get it from the library! Hahahaha...

Another novel from the same author, titled "Rosie Dunne/Where rainbow ends" was introduced by Neoy when I end up with no books to read. Its a fictional compliation of the emails and Instant Messaging convesation between two best friends(a guy and a girl), who grew up together but was separated after high school... They loved each other, but miss opportunities after opportunities, thus married different people and had their own kids...

I like the way it was written, it is like reading emails after emails... I also feel agitated when the two misread one another's emails... lolx... the "Ai Mei" in their emails are fun and triggers the happiness in me! And the novel's storyline somehow reminds me of this Song by Jason Mraz and Colbie Caillat - Lucky... "Lucky I'm in love with my best friend, Lucky to have been where I have been, Lucky to be coming home again..." Lolx...

Anyway, I bought this novel so you could borrow from me if you want!

Twilight.New Moon.Eclipse.Breaking Dawn.

2009-01-02T14:01:00.000+08:00

Roarr!

People who really really know me will realise that I am always the dreamer... I love to read romance novels(books that one of the lawyer in my firm always complains that it corrodes my mind) and watch romantic comedy(well, i am emotional and i hate to cry in the movies so i rather watch comedy).

Yep... I've watched the Twilight Movie and read the Stephanie Meyer's entire Twilight series(which includes New Moon, Eclipse and Breaking Dawn).

And I am officially in love with Edward Cullen in the novels!

I kinda like the idea of having a boyfren/husband with supernatural power... Hahahaha! I also love the idea of having a boyfren/husband who will save you and protect you from every hurdle in life... *DreAm* Wouldn't it be soo nice if you know there is always someone you can rely on? Who loves you more than their life? Plus... He is sooooo protective of Bella, u can read all the effort he put in to protect Bella from getting hurt...

Well... But when it comes to the movie, I like Carlisle Cullen better... *winks*

I love his compassionate and benevolent character... If I were to become a vampire unwillingly, I would rather die than turn into a monster, and thus will also defy the thirst and turn into a 'vegetarian' and try saving the human race(as a doctor), just like Carlisle did...

Anyway... I am still looking forward to Stephanie Meyer's new book, Midnight Sun, which depicts the entire Twilight Story from Edward's point of view! :p

Random Blabberings....

2008-11-24T11:24:00.000+08:00

Most of you probably got tired of hearing me say "I wanna lose weight!!"...

But this time round, I'm half-determined to shed my flabs!! AND hopefully, in a healthier way...

Though not very obvious, but I have lost 5kgs within 3 weeks!!!

Eh... How? I also dunno... Maybe cuz of work stress ba... But I still have a week to reach my target for the month!!! I tried exercising but there is no guaranteed immediate result... Haiz...

Tell me... How to lose 5kg in one week? (yep.. my goal for the month is 10kg... but wasted 3 weeks and only manage to shed 5kg... heheh...)

And...

How am I suppose to lose weight when I have to attend at least 3 other buffet dinners with my friends and family by the end of the month!!! (omg!)

So HOW!!!???!!!

Anyway... I'm saving up to buy Nintendo Wii!!! Actually wanted it as an anniversary gift but i realise yj will strangle me after seeing this cuz he juz bought the Osim Urobic for us...

Haha...

So random... Nevermind... Ciaoz~!

Evilyn regrets her evil acts...

2008-11-23T11:39:00.000+08:00

Yeah... Remember my last post where I said I was hooked on prawning?

Gosh... I find it an extremely disgusting sport now...

Why?

IT CRUEL TO TREAT A PRAWN LIFE AS A FORM OF SPORT!!

Yes... I regret treating it as a sport or a form of leisure in the past... Its extremely horrible...

Now, I feel sad whenever I think of how I killed them with my own hands(yesh... I caught them not for keeping as pets, but for food!!! Its not even a basic form of survival/skill cuz I can simply buy prawns from markets rather than go prawning(which tastes yucky and is even more expensive then buying off market)... For fishermen, they did it as a form of "survival skill", which they relied on to feed their family... And for us, we eat them for survival(or maybe luxury?) But to use them as a sport, I feel like I am extremely evil...

Sometimes I wonder, what if I reincarnate into prawns and kenna hooked up by people as a form of sport? I wonder how many time I will reincarnate into prawns... Maybe as many time as the number of prawns I had caught to date? Eww....

And for everyone's information, I dun even like prawns to begin with... You can ask my friends and family... I used to hate prawn almost the extent of me hating durians and dragonfly. But I had to force myself to eat them(you can possibly ask me to go prawning and throw the prawns away right?) up now.

I regret... And I am officially going to stop prawning... so YJ!! Stop forcing me to do something I don't like/hate!!!

And last but not least... To all the poor prawns I had killed in the past.. Please forgive me, I was blinded by temptations in the past, but I will not stop all these cruel acts... May you reincarnate into good families and lead better lifes in future..

And I hope yj will stop this sport... You don't know how many innocent lives were lost in order to satisfy your leisure...

PrAwNinG aGain...

2008-08-04T11:08:00.000+08:00

Hey hey.. Me went pRawNinG with Yj's family today.. So I spent $30 on a rod but gave up 1/2 way... This time round, we went to the PrAwNinG pOnd in Bishan... I don't really enjoy my prawing session there, cuz i feel like i catch more prawns in the Pasir Ris pond! :P

So anyway, about 1.5 hours past and I only caught two live prawn and hooked up one dead prawn (again), haha... YJ bro's best fren, Jian Ming, brought along his 2.5 year old son... Jian Ming tried to teach me how to prawn but me being me, gave up in less than 15 mins.. So I ended up having a singing session with Yj's nephew - Long Ting and Jian Ming's son - Melvin...

Initially Melvin was really very very quiet, so I brought the kids for a walk along the prawn ponds.. Then I realise Melvin will sing ABC and Twinkle Twinkle Little Star to himself... Moreover Long Ting said he don't like Melvin cuz Melvin tried tearing away the sticker on Long Ting's toy.. Hahha... So I taught them singing as an interaction and also to keep them occupied while their parents are prawning!

So anyway I sang with them songs like ABC, Twinkle Twinkle Little Stars, 12345 Once I caught a Fish alive, 5 Little Monkeys Jumping on the Bed, 12 Months (in Chinese), 10 Little Indian Boy, the Continents Song, All the big Fish swimming in the Water and some I couldn't remember..

I guess singing songs to kids really breaks the ice with them! Cuz after we start singing, Melvin start talking to me! =D He told me things like his daddy did not close his water bottle properly cuz he felt water dripping on his pants (but it is actually the water vapour from the cold water his dad poured him), den he also told me he have a younger sister, but when I asked his wat is his sister's name, he couldn't answer me and said he dunno... Lolx!!! He saw the SMRT super long bus and tell me its MRT bus.. Hahahah... Then when he saw the MRT track, he told me MRT travels on MRT track so they don't have wheels.. Then we asked him why Cars have wheels and he said Cars have wheels cuz they don't travel on tracks.. He is pretty smart sia!! Hehehehehe...

I juz think Kids are soooooooooooooo cute... Maybe I should switch line and start working as a kindergarten teacher... Although I dunno whether I will teach the kids correctly, but at least I think I will be happier! =P It beats having to face Lawyers everyday right? Kids are so much more adorable! Hehehe... Byeez!

"The Perfect Family" - Sims 2

2008-08-03T09:37:00.000+08:00

Hey hey!

Me posted earlier that I was playing Sims 2 Double Deluxe game on my laptop, but my stoopid laptop kept shutting off automatically in between my game sessions, so I had to give up playing it on my laptop but start playing on my home desktop instead..

So anyway, I created this new family after my previous family on Saturday..

My first try was to create the Father - Josh Molly, Mother - Satin Molly, and twin boys - Jomi Molly and Jofi Molly. Then I found a job for Josh immediately after moving them into their home, and got Satin pregnant again. However, I realise Satin couldn't cope with the twins alone... So the boys ended up being rebellious.. Hahaha...

So I recreated a New Family again, this time round, with more experience, I create The Perfect Family... Hahaha!

Father - Joe Perfect, Mother - Satin Perfect, Twin Boys - Jomi Perfect and Jofi Perfect.. So I got Joe a Job as a Criminal and Satin was pregnant and gave birth to a baby boy! So I named it Joni Perfect.. Then I got Satin a job in the Military and she was pregnant again and gave birth to yet another Baby Boy (Sian... Boy again) which I named Joli Perfect... Since Satin is pregnant, she collected money at home while she was on maternity leave~! Cool huh! Dun need to work but can collect $$.. Heh Heh Heh...

Now... This is really considered a Perfect Family! Cuz they are all very satisfied with their life and Jomi, Jofi (both young adults now) and Joni (a child now) are all A+ Students!! Joli is still a toddler but he has such high aspiration level he will also be perfect!!! Now Satin is pregnant once again! Yep! Hopefully she will attain her wish to marry off 6 Children.

So yep! Thats my perfect "Family" for now! =D Bye bye!

New Hobby!!! :)

2008-08-01T10:20:00.000+08:00

Hey peeps!

Guess What?!?

Me new hobby is PrAwNinG!!!

Prawning? As in when you go catch a fish with a rod, its called fishing... So we catch prawn with a rod, it will be called prawning! (quoted from my Colleague, Kelly!!) :D

Hmm... Went prawning with my Bro and yj... Three of us, two rods. Me Bro looked very sian initially cuz no prawn wanna get "hooked" by us and cuz he really is considered a beginner, he hardly catches anything... So he started playing with the prawn's bait provided... Chicken Liver... Eww...

He slice it into half (like a surgeon) and exclaimed, "You sure this is Chicken Liver? You mean Chicken smokes ar? Why is it so black? Hahahahaha..."

So I happily laugh along with him... But now then I realise... He is slicing up Chicken Liver, not Lungs... Smoking causes lungs to turn black, not liver!

But anyway, we stared at this Uncle prawning there as he pull up one Big prawn! The blue claw of the prawn are so huge! So me and my bro went, "Wooowwww...", then that Uncle came to us with his prawn and gave it to us!!! :P Sooooo Happy!!!!!

Oh well... Anyway after that, he managed to catch two prawn!!! Good job for a beginner! I only prawn for less than 1/2 an hour, and I also caught two! *grin widely*

Yj caught alot of prawn yesterday lor... In total, including the one we got from the Uncle, we had 12 prawns!!! But I feel sooooo tired after that, I juz plopped down in bed once I reach home... Heheh....

Btw... SeVenTh mOntH iS hErE aGaiN... Ohh nOo.... I will tell me BoSs, nO more OT for one month! :)

New Game!!! WooHoo!!!

2008-07-30T00:10:00.000+08:00

Hey hey!!

Me bought a new game last Sunday... YesH!!! Its Sims 2 - Double Deluxe Edition!

Was playing it almost every night! But my stoooopid Laptop kept shutting off on its own... Guess it's some problem with the graphic card or something... Maybe rebooting it sooner or later!!

So anyway, I managed to create a Male character called Josh Molly and a Female Character called Satin Molly as roommates, then slowly let them fall in love!!!

Guess what's Josh's lifetime achievement aim? He want to be a top-notch criminal!!! OmG~!

Then guess what's Satin's lifetime achievement aim? She wants to marry off 6 Kids!

So anyway, Satin juz gave birth to a twin!! Two baby boys and I named them Jomi Molly and Jofi Molly hahahahaha!

So, I'm off to work again! Ciaoz...

Everytime i see the attitude scratches he left on my fish tank and his videos in my handphone will remind me of my puffer... He's been with me for almost a year lor... Soooo Long.... We played together... He listen to my problems... He show me attitude when i scold him... He played with me when i share my joy with him...

2006-06-19T13:29:00.000+08:00

Hahahaz... Its been a long long time i've not been updating my blog... I almost forgot my blog link, password & username! Lolx... Maybe one day i'll get yj to remember for me hor? Provided i don't have to be the one reminding him to remember for me! Lolx..

Anyway my Cambodia trip considered fun... Had 'funny' experiences in their hotel la... But i'm grateful i was able to share room with Ju & Val! Haha! Three to a room made our lifes more fun! Even though we keep getting picked on by the idunwannanamewho... He practically made my sweet sweet life damn miserable! Anyway... Many of the GCC members was sick on the last day.. So i wanna wish them speedy recovery wor... But anyway... Its sooo long ago le... Think they should have recovered le ba... Arbo jiu should be in hospital by now le ba... Keke...

Oh ya... For people who wanna know how 'funny' the hotel experience is i'll tell u... For that short 4 nights that we were there, there was blackout on 3 occasions! 1 of it was when we were preparing slp & i was reading my comic + ju & val was watching the tv... Then out of a sudden, the tv screen was flashing... Followed by a total black out... AMAZINGLY,(& i emphasis it with bold cuz up till now i still can't believe how freakingly bold i was!) i was the one who calm down the (almost) hysterical ju & (almost) stunned Val... I think any reasonable right minded lady will 'kan chiong' in this sort of situation but i really can't imagine i had my eyes opened wide staring in the mirror directly in front of my bed in the dark! At that point of time, i was thinking that if there really was a ghost in the room, i would want be able to assess it's movement rather than not knowing it! Lolx... Thats the other character of mine ba... Cuz i'm a genuine Gemini! v('-' )v

Another incident is considered a scary one... Cuz Jason was suppose to come to our room for a project... So for that mere 15 mins he was in our room, the toilet bowl auto flush 3 times! It totally freaked me, ju & val out cuz we've been in the room for sooooo long & this is the 1st time we r experiencing auto-flush toilets(mind you that Cambodia sld not be that high tech or rich enough to hav an auto-flush toilet bowl in their 3 star hotel la... Yet I can't believe that i was even bold enough to check out the toilet alone when it auto flushed! Damn that stoooopid Jason who will not even budge to take a look even though he sat nearest to the toilet and even when ju ask him to..(Insert Vulgarities to curse him on ur own!) Anyway.. Jason said his hotel room's toilet also flushes on it's own! ~(>.< )~ (Something freaky should probably be following him la... Cuz after he left the room, the toilet bowl never once auto-flush on its own again! PhEww......)

But anyway... We managed to share a table with Eunice Olsen for dinner! ~OmG! She such an angel... The VIPs were supposed to have their dinner in a VIP room and we were early so all the VIPs went into that room initially, leaving me, val , ju & jason really feeling out of place... Then Eunice Olsen came to our table and sat with us! She insisted on having dinner with us and even troubled the people there on seats allocation! Then she joked with us & even shared her JC experiences with us! She left us feeling so right that i dread to return with GCC la! Not to forget i'll have to thank Eunice Olsen & Mdm Sally Chew who was once our LAW course manger before, for helping in serving us our food! A BIGGEST THANK YOU!!! OmGz... They such kind hearted darlings sooo much that i am falling in love with them! (Freak out!)

Anyway... Enough of my trip events, I juz bought a new set of VCD... Its called 'My Beloved!' aka 'Sang Doo! Let's go to School' .

This show was filmed quite a long time back, featuring my beloved Lee Dong Jun(That suai ge prosecutor in aka in 'Sweet 18' aka 'Xin Niang 18 shui' in chinese!) & Teresa's long lasting idol RAIN(Bi)!! I have to admit Rain is cute and well built, but my Lee Dong Jun is sooooooo Man & Cute & Shuai!

Teresa posted me this Qn yst afternoon...

If you were given a choice of Zheng Yuan Chang & Lee Dong Jun, Which one will you choose??

My 1st ans was Zheng Yuan Chang..

Though logically i may go for guys with Zheng Yuan Chang's looks, but i really can't stand guys with Zheng Yuan Chang's character! OmG~

Unless he is able to become his other side of the gemini in front of me la... Whahahaha! Thats the advantage of being a Gemini lor... Cuz we have totally different character in the case of different situations!

But anyway... My main reason for not choosing Lee Dong Jun was cuz he is with that girl in 'Sweet 18' and the fact that I find them really matching was why i don't wanna choose him. Why go for attached guys and be a 'Jian Nu Ren'? Lolx! But seriously, i believe i'll go more for guys with character like Lee Dong Jun & Irie Naoki(Ru Jiang Zhi Shu)... Hahahaz!

Seriously speaking... This qn doesn't sound too applicable for me... Cuz will never be in the position to chose any of them ma... Haha! Don't forget they are never gonna let me choose them unless it is in my own sweet dreams la! Whahaha! (-_- ")

Oh Ya! I should be expressing my excited feeling to go kbox & shopping with my beloved ju, fiona, becca & val tml!!! Its our 1st all girls official outing! a first since my poly yr 1(not to forget the fact that i'm in poly yr 3 nw!) Though it may come a little late, it better to be late than never! Peace! LooKing forward... Lalalalala..... v(", )

Last but not least, let me attach a nice quote along with this post... Something i juz told Teresa around 3am yesterday night during our 3 hour girly talk! whahaha! I seriously need more sleep... I think Teresa need even more sleep than me! Hahaha! She out since early morning!

" There's no need to find love... It will be hiding somewhere out there... So let it find you! Cuz you'll never be able to find it... Therefore explaining why the term 'falling in love' is not replace by 'finding love'... Cuz if u found it, you will not be falling into it..."

It Started with an "Ang Pao"... =D

Hihi! I'm bacKz!

29th May 2006, Monday

Considered the sweetest day of my life... Prepare ur popcorns ladies & gentlemen, cuz my entry 2day will be very very long... Since it's such a loooong story, i should start from the background of the story...

One day, my Godfather, aka my Gu Zhang, gave me $200 ang bao 4 my bday... I dunno whether to feel happy or sad... Cuz.... I'm happy i have $200, but i'm sad too since they r old and not working so i shouldn't be taking their money.. I really feel like crying when i recieve the ang bao and i know for sure i didn't cry out of happiness...

Anyway, i did tell yj and he suggested that i keep the money to buy them lunch or dinner whenever i can with that money. He knows how much i would long to use it to buy the whole set of "It Started With a Kiss" comics which cost around $148. (I went to lots of place before finally finding it!) But since i dun intend to use the $200 on it + the fact that i dun have that much money to buy it, i tried very hard to convince (a better word than trick! Hehe!) yj to pay 1/2 the amt. (bo bian la, I really no $$....) But he nv did say yes anyway... =(

Well... It kinda should start on Monday... I'll be translating all my conversation for the sake of this ang moh blog. LOLx!
.......................................................................................................................................................................
I woke up after a pretty long afternoon nap, waking to see that yj had msged me asking wat bday present i wan tis yr... so i replied that he can sponsor me 50% of the comic for my bday. But the next moment, he called me. So, searching in the dark, i reach for my phone.

Me:"Hello..............."(i sound damn tired la..)
YJ:"Open the door.."
Me:"Huh? Which door?"(Pardon me, i'm in my room. So obviously i dunno whether he refers to the main door or my room's door and dun 4get the fact i'm actually in a semi-slping mode!)
YJ:"Front door lar.."
Me:"Huh? For wat?"(Seriously i really doubt his words cuz he tricked me once..)
YJ:"I'm outside already.."

So i went to the living room & hear soft tappings on my front door. Then i hung up the phone and reach for the door. YJ was standing outside with the 1st espisode of the"ISWAK" comic in his right hand.
YJ:"Xiao Jie, wanna buy comic?"
Me:"Eh....!!!"(I was caught by surprised! But i only see one comic. So i assumed he bought me the 1st book only... I immediately took it over from his hand..)
YJ:"If book 1 not enough, i got book 2!"(After saying, he took out the 2nd book from behind his back..)
Me:"Eh!..!...!... You buy two ar?(Obviously thats wat i'm thinking, cuz he only have 2 hands ma.. Its not like he will have 23 hands hiding all the comics one by one.. I seriously haven't wake up.. Haha!)

So i opened the door with tears welling up in my eyes, i'm kinda touched cuz he doesn't seem 2 be interested everytime i mention these comics, yet i didn't know he had registered all these info...

YJ:"If 2 not enough, here still got whole set woR!"(He brought up one whole plastic bag with the whole set of comics)
Me:"......." (Tears gushing.... I'm really touched... Guess wat, i can feel my tears twirling around in my eyes at this moment as i'm typing tis entry..)
.........................................................................................................................................................................
Yes.... He've bought me the whole full set of comics... He told me he intent to gimme on 9th June 2006, but i will be boarding the plane & i'll be stupid enough to bring them all with me to Cambodia, though that's seriously what i WILL do if he pass it to me on that day...

Life is full of surprises... And this surprise is intended by YJ for my sake... I do like these small surprises... YJ!!! If u ever happen 2 stumble into my blog & read this particularly entry, please keep in mind tat i hope i will have happy & joyous surprises! Definitely not sad & heartbreaking surprise hor!! :)

Visit Straits Law LLC at City House on 36 Robinson Road with my coursemate on thursday, 18th May 06. It is a nice & big lawfirm with a pretty view of the city. But wat worries me is the facts the secretary mentioned to us. She said that her job as a lawyer's secretary is both challenging and stressful but the job satisfaction at the end of the lawsuit motivates her to welcome the next lawsuit.. It makes me wonder if i may be able to coop in my future and whether i will be accepting it with a open heart and mind.
Went to my god-mother's house on friday, 19th may 06! Bought dinner for me, my god-mother and my god-father.. Had a funny incident at bedok interchange of not finding the library book drop which is in front of the bedok national library BUT(in my opinion) hidden in a corner of the wall which i did peep past but that protion of view was blocked by the protruding wall... So paiseh... Almost queue up at the information counter asking for the book-drop... hehe... yj commented that i was silly enough to miss such a big book-drop... Not to mention its a BIG library so there are quite a handful of people watching me walking in and out of the library several times finding the book-drop.
My tamagotchi is heading towards it's 3rd generation!!! Anyway, the 1st generation is the ugly duck-like creature named 'BIBY', her daughter is an 'ah pek' like thingy named 'CANDY'. Currently, this generation is one i like best, its still in the child status but it looks more presentable! How cute of it to make funny faces to it's lion doll and getting mad when the lion doll made no reaction at all! Anyway, this little grandson is called 'MICKY' (had a longtime churning up 5-letters name while rushing for Civ Pro lessons! I least expect it to be a baby boy when my 1st two generations are girls!)
Going to ah ma house on Saturday, 20th may 06 in the night!! Wonder anything interesting will go on... Hehe!
Going to the The new paper Big walk on Sunday, 21st May 06 with daddy, mummy, ah boy and yj as part of daddy's yearly company organised function, he's the organising committee so i doubt i can reject.. Hehe.. Wonder anything fun goes on... whahahaa!

Thats all for my boring life!!!

A nice quote from my idol, Mother Theresa. I salute u mdm!

"If you judge people, you have no time to love them."

Sick... Soo sick...

2006-04-25T22:25:00.000+08:00

How i wish for an Overseas Student Internship Programme in taiwan... OoH... My xiao zhong... Will i ever get to c u? lolz... enough of day dreaming.. Heard from CNA that NTUC is organising a Sudoku competition! Should i or shouldn't i?? Hmm... i can solve some.. but not all.. That whole book is still collecting dust in a corner of my room!

Great... I've just noticed my life seems boring... dunno wat else to say except for my aimless heartz for my Zhi Shu... Who on earth wouldn't fall for a lovely guy like him? Especially how he gradually fall for Xiang Qin even though he had alwaz been bullying her throughout... HAIZZZzz....

Anyway.. A quote from japan's show Itazaru Na Kiss, "The things a clever person learns from a stupid person will be more than the things a stupid person learn from a clever person..."

Surprisingly true... lolx... learning is an aimless journey without a destination... Haiz...

Life is full of surprises!

2006-04-23T01:06:00.000+08:00

Hi... I'm back... Well.... Its already 1am liao... lolz... Anyway... Today, I've went to yj's godmother house for his godsister's baby girl's 1 month birthday. She is really cute! She's sooooo teeny weeny! Her head is the size of a small Thailand coconut! Plus her big dark eyes.. She so adorable! Huggable! Kissable! Lovable! But I don't dare to carry her yet. She's just so fragile looking I scared I might break her arms or legs! lolz... Anyway, she opened her eyes real big and stare around "gong gong" at everyone! hahaz! soooo cute!

Ok.. But anyway, it was a real nice family and friends gathering where everyone gathered and mingled along with laughters, joy and baby cries and kids fight and long queues for the buffet! Kind of like a Chinese new year with free buffet!

Juz talking with my cousin Teresa... She said to "elephant" through the phone that her mum once said our late maternal grandfather looks like the mediacorp artiste "Chen Chuan Zhi".. But i can't remember how he looks like... So I ask her what shows he've been on. All the shows she mention could not revive any memories of him... Anyway, hope to know who he is one day..

Ok... Quoting from this website: http://www.motivationquote.com/funny-love-quote.html

Women marry men hoping they will change. Men marry women hoping they will not. So each is inevitably disappointed.-- Albert Einstein

Isn't it true? Lolz... He is just soooo genius to come up with such a funny yet meaningful quote! This seems to mean that Women thinks a lot and Man thinks little... haha... That's juz how I perceive it la.. Anyway... Nitey nitez... Should be posting again today... hehe! School's starting tomorrow! OoH.... =P

Life is full of surprises! =)

Sad, Cherish....

2006-04-22T02:39:00.000+08:00

Hi... This is the first entry.... I may gradually fall in love with blogging one day... Lets try... =D Hmm... I'll post my favourite story here... I still cry when i read this... Read it... Its long... But i'll say its worth your time...

It's titled Importance of Communication

This is a true story, taken from "Family" (dictated by LD, edited by LSX, translated by SaFe).

Cruel misunderstandings one after another disrupted the blissful footsteps to ur family. Our original intend of having Mother enjoy some quiet and peaceful moments in her remaining years with us went terribly wrong as destiny's secret is finally revealed at a price, every thing became too late.

Just two years after our marriage, hubby brought up the idea of asking Mother to move from the rural hometown and spend her remaining years with us. Hubby's father passed away while he was still very young. Mother endured much hardship and struggled all on her own to provide for him, see him through to his university degree. You could say that she suffered a great deal and did everything you could expect of a woman to bring hubby to where he is today. I immediately agreed and started packing the spare room, which has a balcony facing the South to let her enjoy the sunshine and plant some greenery. Hubby stood in the bright room, and suddenly just picked me up and started spinning round and round. As I begged him to put me down, he said: "Lets go fetch mother."

Hubby is tall and big sized and I love to rest on his chest and enjoy the feeling that he could pick me up at any moment put the tiny me into his pockets. Whenever we have an argument and both of us refuse to back down, he would pick me up and spin me over his head continuously until I surrender and beg for mercy. I became addicted to this kind of panic-joy feeling.

Mother brought along her countryside habits and lifestyle with her. For example, I am so used to buying flowers to decorate the living room, she could not stand it and would comment: "I do not know how you young people spend your money, why do you buy flowers for? You also can't eat the flowers!" I smiled and said: "Mum, with flowers in the house, our mood will also become better." Mother continues to grumble away, and hubby smiled: "Mum, this is city-people's habit; slowly you will get use to it."

Mother stopped saying anything. But every time thereafter, whenever I came home with flowers, she would ask me how much it costs. I told her and she would shake her head and express displeasure. Sometimes, when I come home with lots of shopping bags, she would ask each and every item how much they cost, I would tell her honestly and she would get even more upset about it. Hubby playfully pinched my nose and said: "You little fool, just don't tell her the full price of everything would solve it."There begins the friction to our otherwise happy lifestyle.

Mother hates it most when hubby wakes up early to prepare the breakfast. In her view, how could the man of the house cook for the wife? At the breakfast table, mother facial expression is always like the dark clouds before a thunderstorm and I would pretend not to notice. She would use her chopsticks and make a lot of noise with it as her silent protest. As I am a dance teacher in the Children's Palace and is exhausted from a long day of dancing around, I do not wish to give up the luxury of that additional few minutes in the comfort of my bed and hence I turned a deaf ear to all the protest mother makes.

From time to time, mother would help out with some housework, but soon her help created additional work for me. For example: she would keep all kinds of plastic bags accumulating them so that she sell them later on, and that resulted in our house being filled with all the trash bags; she could scrimp on dish washing detergent when helping to wash the dishes and so as not to hurt her feelings, I would quietly wash they again. One day, late at night, mother saw me quietly washing the dishes, and "Bam" she slams her bedroom door and cried very loudly in her room.

Hubby was placed in a difficult position, and after that, he did not speak to me for that entire night. I pretended to be a spoilt child, tried acting cute, but he totally ignored me. I got mad and asked him: "What did I do wrong?" Hubby stared at me and said: "Can't you just give in to her once? we couldn't possibly die eating from a bowl however unclean it is, right?"
After that incident, for a long period of time, mother did not speak to me and you can feel that there is a very awkward feeling hanging in the house. During that period of cold war, hubby was caught in dilemma as to who to please.

In order to stop her son from having to prepare breakfast, mother took on the "all important" task of preparing breakfast without any prompting. At the breakfast table, mother would look at hubby happily eating his breakfast and cast that reprimanding stare at me for having failed to perform my duty as a wife. To avoid the embarrassing breakfast situation, I resorted to buying my own breakfast on my way to work.

That night, while in bed, hubby was a little upset and asked me: "LD, is it because you think that mum's cooking is not clean that's why you chose not to eat at home?" He then turned his back on me and left me alone in tears as feeling of unfairness overwhelmed me. After some time, hubby sighed: "LD, just for me, can you have breakfast at home?" I am left with no choice but to return to the breakfast table.

The next morning, I was having porridge prepared by mother and I felt a sudden churn in my stomach and everything inside seem to be rushing up my throat. I tried to suppress the urge to throw up but I couldn't. I threw down the bowl and rushed into the washroom and vomited everything out. Just as I as catching my breath, I saw mother crying and grumbling very loudly in her dialect, hubby was standing at the washroom doorway staring at me with fire burning in his eyes. I opened my mouth but no words came out of it, I rally didn't mean it. We had our very first big fight that day; mother took a look at us, then stood up and slowly made her way out of the house. Hubby gave me a final stare in the eye and followed mother down the stairs.

For three days, hubby did not return home, not even a phone call. I was so furious, since mother arrived; I had been trying my best and putting up with her, what else do you want me to do? For no reason, I keep having the feeling to throw up and I simply have not appetite for food, coupled with all the events happening at home, I was at the low point in my life. Finally, a colleague said: "LD, you look terrible, you should go and see a doctor."

The doctor confirmed that I am pregnant. Now it became clear to me why I threw up that fateful morning, a sense of sadness floated through that otherwise happy news. Why didn't hubby, and mother who had been through this before, thought of the possibility of this being the reason that day? At the hospital entrance, I saw my hubby standing there. It had only been three days, but he looked haggard.

I had wanted to turn and leave, but one look at him and my heart soften, I couldn't resist and called out to him. He followed my voice and finally found me but he pretended that he doesn't know me; he has that disgusted look in his eyes that cut right through my heart. I told myself not to look at him anymore, and hail a cab. At that moment, I have such a strong urge inside me to shout to my hubby: "Darling, I am having your baby!" and have him lift me up and spin me round in circles of joy. What I wanted didn't happen and as I sat in the cab, my tears started rolling down. Why? Why our love couldn't even withstand the test of one fight?

Back home, I lay on the bed thinking about my hubby, and the disgusted look in his eyes. I cried and wet the corner of the blanket. That night, sound of the drawers opening woke me up. I switched on the lights and I saw hubby with tears rolling down his face. He was removing the money. I stared at him in silence; he ignored me, took the bank deposit book and some money and left the house. Maybe he really intends to leave me for good. What a rational man, so clear-cut in love and money matters. I gave a few dried laugh and tears starting streaming down again.

The next day, I did not go to work. I wanted to clear this out and have a good talk with hubby. I reached his office and his secretary gave me a weird look and said: "Mr Tan's mother had a traffic accident and is now in the hospital." I stood there in shock. I rushed to the hospital and by the time I found hubby, mother had already passed away. Hubby did not look at me, his face was expressionless.

I looked at mother's pale white and thin face and I couldn't control the tears in my eyes. My god, how could this happen? Throughout the funeral, hubby did say a single word to me, with only the occasional disgusted stare at me. I only managed to find out brief facts about the accident from other people. That day, after mother left the house, she walked in dazed toward the bus stop, apparently intending to go back to her old house back in the countryside. As hubby ran after her, she tried to walk faster and as she tried to cross the street, a public bus came and hit her... I finally understood how much hubby must hate me, if I had not thrown up that morning, if we had not quarreled, if...

In his heart, I am indirectly the killer of his mother.

Hubby moved into mother's room and came home every night with a strong liquor smell on him. And me, I am buried under the guilt and self pity and could hardly breathe. I wanted to explain to him, tell him that we are going to have our baby soon, but each time, I saw the dead look in his eyes, all the words I have at the brink of my mouth just fell back in. I had rather he hit me real hard or give me a big and thorough scolding though none of these events happening had been my fault at all. Many days of suffocating silence went by and as the days went by, hubby came home later and later. The deadlock between us continues, we were living together like strangers who don't know each other. I am like the dead knot in his heart.
One day, I passed by a western restaurant, looking into the glass window, I saw hubby and a girl sitting facing each other and he very lightly brushed her hair for her, I understood what it meant. After recovering from that moment of shock, I entered the restaurant, stood in front of my hubby and stared hard at him, not a tear in my eyes. I have nothing to say to him, and there is no need to say anything.

The girl looked at me, looks at hubby, stands up and wanted to go, hubby stretched out his hand and stopped her. He stared back at me, challenging me. I can only hear my slow heartbeat, beating, one by one as if at the brink of death. I eventually backed down, if I had stood that any longer, I will collapse together with the baby inside me.

That night, he did not come home, he had chosen to use that as a way to indicate to me: Following mother's death, so did our love for each other. He did not come home anymore after that. Sometimes, when I returned home from work, I can tell that the cupboard had been touched - he had returned to take some of his stuff.

I no longer wish to call him; the initial desire to explain everything to him vanished. I lived alone; I went to my medical checkups alone, my heart breaks again and again every time I see a guy carefully helping his wife through the physical examination. My office colleagues hinted to me to consider aborting the baby, I told them No, I will not. I insisted on having to this baby, perhaps it is my way of repaying mother for causing her death.

One day, I came home and I saw hubby sitting in the living room. The whole house was filled with cigarette smoke. On the coffee table, there was this piece of paper. I know what it is all about without even looking at it. In the two months plus of living alone, I have gradually learned to find peace within myself. I looked at him, removed my hat and said: "You wait a while, I will sign." He looked at me, mixed feelings in his eyes, just like mine. As I hang up my coat, I keep repeating to myself "You cannot cry, you cannot cry..." my eyes hurt terribly, but I refused to let tears come out from there.

After I hung up my coat, hubby's eyes stared fixed at my bulging tummy. I smiled, walked over to the coffee table and pull e paper towards me. Without even looking at what it says, I signed my name on it and pushed the paper to him. "LD, you are pregnant?"
Since mother's accident, this is the first time he spoke to me. I could not control my tears any further and they fell like raindrops. I said: "Yes, but its ok, you can leave now."

He did not go, in the dark, we sat, facing each other. Hubby slowly moved over me, his tears wet the blanket. In my heart, everything seems so far away, so far that even if I should sprint, I could never reach them. I cannot remember how many times he repeated "sorry" to me, I had originally thought that I would forgive him, but now I can't. In the western restaurant, in front of that girl, that cold cold look in his eyes, I will never forget... Never.

We have drawn such deep scar in each other's heart. For me, its unintentional; for him, totally intentional.

I had been waiting for this moment of reconciliation, but I realized now, what had gone past is gone forever and could not repeated! Other than the thought of the baby inside me that would bring some warmth to my heart, I am totally cold towards him, I no longer eat anything he buys for me, I don't take any presents from him and I stopped talking to him.
From the moment I signed on that piece of paper, marriage and love had vanished from my heart.

Sometimes, hubby will try to come into the bedroom, but when he walks in, I will walk out to the living room. He had no choice but to sleep in mother's room. At night, from his room, I can hear light sounds of groaning, I kept quiet. This used to be his trick; last time, whenever I ignore him, he would fake illness and I will surrender and find out what is wrong with him, he would then grab me and laugh. He has forgotten that last time, I cared for him and am concerned because there is love, but now, what is there between us. Hubby's groaning came on and off continuing all the way till baby was born.

Almost everyday, he would buy something for the baby, infant products, children products and books that kids like to read. Bags and bags of it stacked inside his room till it is full. I know he is trying to use this to reach out to me, but I am no longer moved by his actions. He has no choice but to lock himself in his room and I can hear his typing away on his computer keyboard, maybe he is now addicted to web surfing, but none of that matters to me anymore.
It was sometime towards the end of spring in the following year, one late night, I screamed because of a sudden stomach pain, hubby came rushing into the room, its like he did not change and sleep, and had been waiting for this moment. He carried me and ran down the stairs, stopped a car, holding my hand very tightly and kept wiping the sweat off my brown, throughout the journey to the hospital.

Once we reached the hospital, he carried me and hurried into the delivery suite. Lying on the back of his skinny but warmth body, a thought crossed my mind: In my lifetime, who else would love me as much as he did? He held the delivery suite door opened and watch me go in, his warm eyes caused me to managed a smile at him despite my contraction pain.

Coming out of the delivery room, hubby looked at our son and me, his eyes tear with joy and he kept smiling. I reached out and touched his hand. Hubby looked at me, smiling and then he slowly collapsed onto the floor. I cried out for him in pain... He smiled, but without opening that tired eyes of his ... I had thought that I would never shed any tear for him, but the truth is, I have never felt a deeper pain cutting through my body at that moment.

Doctor said that by the time hubby discovered he had liver cancer, it was already in terminal stage and it was a miracle that he managed to last this long. I asked the doctor when did he first discover he had cancer? Doctor said about 5 months ago and consoled me saying: "Prepare for his funeral." I disregarded the nurse's objection and rushed home, I went into his room and checked his computer, and a suffocating pain hits me.

Hubby's cancer was discovered 5 months ago, his groaning was real, and I had thought that... the computer showed over 200 thousand words he wrote for our son: "Son, just for you, I have persisted, to be able to take a look at you before I fall, is my biggest wish now... I know that in your life, you will have many happiness and maybe some setbacks, if only I can accompany you throughout that journey, how nice would it be. But daddy now no long has that chance. Daddy has written inside here all the possible difficulties and problems you may encounter during your lifetime, when you meet with these problems, you can refer to daddy's suggestion ... Son, after writing these 200 thousand words, I feel as if I have accompanied you through your life journey. To be honest, daddy is very happy. Do love your mother, she has suffered, she is the one who loves you most and also the one who loves me most..."
From play school to primary school, to secondary, university, to work and even in dealing with questions of love, everything big and small was written there.

Hubby has also written a letter for me:
"My dear, to marry you is my biggest happiness, forgive me for the pain I have caused you, forgive me for not telling you my illness, because I want to see you be in a joyful mood waiting for the arrival of our baby... My dear, if you cried, it means that you have forgiven me and I would smile, thank you for loving me... These presents, I'm afraid I cannot give them to our son personally, could you help me to give some of them to him every year, the dates on what to give when are all written on the packaging..."

Going back to the hospital, hubby is still in coma. I brought our son over and place him beside him. I said: "Open your eyes and smile, I want our son to remember being in the warmth of your arms..."

He struggled to open his eyes and managed a weak smile. Our son still in his arms was happily waving his tiny hands in the air. I press the button on the camera and the sound of the shutter rang thought the air as tears slowly rolled down my face...

Sad, cherish...
