Friday, November 30

Was i counted lucky? I happened to catch a glimpse of the fireworks when i was having dinner at Dragon Boat restaurant with Dear and family. After a few minutes of hesitation, i just rushed out to the corridor. I stared at the fireworks in awe. It was nonetheless impressive! And from where i stood, i could see the full view of it. Below me were just the dock !

This was the first time i manage to catch the fireworks from such a good spot. Of course, not to mention those at National Day. It wasn't as pretty. It was a pity i didn't bring my camera out.

Throughout, my heart felt so empty. I know somewhere in it, i was longing for something that seems to distant. But i just couldn't figure out what that is.. My heart just sank...

When it'd ended, i trudged back to my seat. Then i asked baby, why didn't you follow me? He replied that he doesn't have a penchant for fireworks. Oh boy...

Today, baby asked me if i wanna have a necklace or a diamond ring. I contemplated awhile. And i told him, i want a necklace! I want to keep all his love in this little pendant of mine and carry it with me wherever i go. Just like the Titus "bling bling" watch dear gave me a few days ago for ou 2 month anniversary, whenever i look at it, i will feel a tight squeeze in my heart. Baby, all my time belongs to you, no one else. (:

I just feel that you can't just give a ring to your partner as and when you like it. It's meaningless. I wouldn't want a "promise ring/proposal ring" and the next moment, he is outside hooking on other girls. *shrugs

Very soon, I'll be able to bake as when i like it. Last week was Banana & Walnut, next week shall be Blueberry muffins! teehees*

Baby, just know that i feel so blessed being with you. You gave me everything i needed and you fitted all the expectations i deemed as a wonderful boyfriend. You gave me all your attention, you placed me in your top pirioity (don't say his machines la! they are my rivals!! %$#@! ), you showered me with surprises and of course, you gave me all the love in your heart! What more can i ask from him you say? XOXOXO**

I had always love challenges. And my job indeed, is a challenge to me! :D

I'm gonna strive hard and familiarize with the whole car thingy and hope soon, I'll be fit to be a sales person. But I already foresee it's not gonna be easy. It's not what I'd imagine. But whatever, I'm working hard now! (:

YAY. BABY IS KNOCKING OFF EARLY JUST FOR ME TODAY! AND HE'S GONNA WAIT FOR ME AT HOME. *winks

Now i understand how tired is baby every night when he comes home from work. Because from the day I started work, I seemed more tired than him and I usually reach la-la land so much faster than him. lol.

Finally it's my turn to give late replies to Dear's messages and telling him I'm not free to talk to him!

I'm currenlty blogging from my office while having my Tempura Udon. ttyl!*

Nothing's cuter than the Kitty plushie bought for me ya? Simply love it to bits! Hello kitty, my all time favorite indeed. Her smiles which greets me each day when i reach home makes me forget all my troubles instantly. ** ^^v

Nothing's sweeter than receiving your baby's call to tell you that he is taking the day off just for you when the previous day, he demanded all the workers to come back for work. (:

Baby didn't disappoint me. We had our lovely breakfast at Yan-ge Restaurant. Planned to go The Central to have a walk, but Dear said he don't quite feel like to. So dear brought me to this restaurant whose specialty is Shark's fin. My mouth was wide open when i heard the price.

One bowl of $38?!! Dear still wanted to buy that $88 one!

Ahhh... This is too much of luxury for me. True, it was the best shark's fin i ever had. And that was the time when i ate the most shark's fin. I tell you, the fins were so much that it looked like vermicelli in soup (tang-hoon). I'm not exaggerating!

Aftermath, we headed back to our love nest and had our afternoon nap together. In a blink of an eye, it was already half past 8.

Happy hours are forever passing so fast so fast huh?

@ 7:50 PM

It has been quite sometime since I could doze off unknowingly in admist of doing work! Did i mention that I've found a job? Aha. Though the location is abit far, but I'm happy there. At least, at least, there's no office politics. Yes, as usual, I'm still working as a PA. But this one is definitely of higher level because I've to handle the whole company documents all by myself!

*Kim, please don't go on leave so soon! Otherwise I think I would drop dead in no time. Aha!

Caught a mild flu in this rainy weather. But I'm recovering fast. Thank God.

Know what. My baby gave me a red packet last night before i went home. I was taken aback by his actions! He claimed it was for good luck since tomorrow is my first day of work. Thank you baby! You are just so sweet.

Jerry was nice too to have wished me good luck and still offered his service of fetching me if i need it. *winks

When Darren got to know that my office was so near to his, he said he's gonna gather the rest of the Gang and we'll head to Geyland for Black Chicken Soup @ Geylang during my lunch time!

Though it's just a simple gesture, but you guys defintely melted my heart. (:

Tell me, what can be more satisfying than a rewarding meal?

2 weeks ago when baby arrived in Singapore from India, we headed off to Seafood Station for our dinner. We happened to stumbled upon this recommendation in the U-weekly. They are known for their freshness of their crabs especially.

I tell you, the hor-fun is duperlicious! It's very different from the norm. Baby and I once ordered a 2 person hor-fun from Boon Tong Kee and it costs a whooping $10.50!! No complains if it was nice. But the taste was so bland and they were all clumped together! *roars

Fresh, delectable yet affordable. *winks!

Next time whenever I'm free, I'm gonna go there and buy their hor-fun for takeaway!! Hehe :p

*clapclap* My baby is finally back from Thailand! :D

This time, we headed off to 天下第一唰 for hotpot @ Thomson Sim Ming Plaza.

I still prefer the Magic of Chongqing hotpot. It's totally...Heaven and Earth. But i just couldn't fathom why my baby thinks the opposite of mine. And they actually gets a lot of bookings and it was full house at dinner time.

The luncheon meat and crab meat weren't fresh. The fried buns weren't as nice as Magic. The meat wasn't as tender as Magic too.

But after-all, at least the soup was okay lah. (Give dear some face. hahahaha!) So, maybe i would just rate it as 2.5/5?

Oh ya. Baby asked me to take a photo of his Special Chilli.

Looks gross to you? lol. Never mind, give you face la dear.

No presents from Dear to me this time. He says that he's too busy to go shopping. But he got 2 boxes of Belgian Chocolate for me. Heh, you are spared this time. :p

As long as you don't go to China next month, it's the biggest present you can ever give me!

@ 11:20 PM

Me, keep a pet? Hur, definitely not.

I reckoned it's a waste of money and time. Why not put the money to better use or rather, or use it to pamper yourself?

Months ago, i have friends who want to give away their dogs of toy breed. I was pretty enthusiastic at first, but later after much thought, I know i should say a "NO" . Because i jolly well know that i would be too lazy to clean them up and that pets are definitely not suitable for people with busy schedules. I might end up neglecting them.

But to my Deardear and my Daddy, it's certainly their cup of tea.

Just last Saturday, which was the day baby is back from Thai, I was with my Baby at Tampines in CRS Haven. We spent a whole 2 hours at the shop contemplating which tank to buy! Since when Dear developed a strong interest in shrimps? That i don't know. But he told me he saw it on the papers and got curious. Baby even wanted to buy 2 tanks, one for the office, another for home. Upon hearing that, i gave him a tongue lashing straight away!

Don't belittle this little shrimp ok. They actually have different grades. This 2cm creature can cost up to thousands! The ones we bought were of low grades ones, costing us $1.50 each. The owner advised us to start from the lower grades ones.

Hah, to be honest, this is the first time i hear people keeping shrimps as a pet. And it can be so costly!

Alas, we chose a rather small size tank coupled with Cherry Red shrimps and snails. And guess what. The total damage was: $250 !!! Just for those tiny shrimps!!

Whatever. Baby said i should be supportive of him. Alright, "I WILL" then!! (:

这将会是一片用华语写的一篇文章。。你们一定会很奇怪问什么我突然间有这个雅兴会用华语。。其实前几天，我从一部连续剧听到了一句话，我觉得非常有意思。完完整整的反映出我们人生必定经过的过程。我一直都很想blog，但是前几天，我的电脑发生故障。

谁说只有女人才能生孕？男人也可以！其实，每个人都可以，也一定会！每个人在一生中，都会剩下三胞胎。那就是：失去，后悔，珍惜。。

文富说的对。。人生到底要錯過幾次機會才能學會把握和前進？想一想……错过机会，我倒是没尝试过。但挫折，倒是有很多。是这些挫折让我学会很多东西，也让我改。是它们让我领悟到做人不能太天真。是它们，让我提高戒心，面对这残酷的社会。

世界上唯有不变的东西，你知道是什么吗？那就是，变。

每一分钟每一秒，我们都在变。变的好或坏，就得看自己的意志力。我倒是觉得，我每天对自己的要求越来越高。。我也不否认，我变得越来越贪心了。可能是因为环境所逼，才会导致我这好胜的性格。。但是无论如何，我做人的原则是永不变的。

缘分，能让一对恋人终成眷属。缘分，也能让一对恋人分开。。
幸福是靠自己去争取的。
最重要的事，活的开开心心！
:D

Yay! My pc is okay alrd! I don't know why, but when i switched it on last night, it was back to the normal. Thank God that i won't get bored on this Friday. Did i mention that my Baby is at Thailand now and will only be back tomorrow! Haven't seen him for 2 days. Can't wait for tomorrow! He promised to give me a big kiss the moment he sees me!

Don't know why, though the duration of the trip is the same as the previous one, but this one seems so long! I call dear quite alot of times only to tell him "I MISS YOU!" .

P.S. My apologies for not sending you off to the airport! If i knew you were alone this time, i wouldn't leave you alone! :(

(*Above are Dear's favorite photo!)

So now, here I am, blogging!

Next week will be definitely an exciting one. My new job will commence on next Monday! Hooray! Thanks Marcus for your help. Sleepover at Dear's house, next is class chalet at Pasir Ris, then late weekend will be Jialing's birthday chalet at Changi! Yay, can't wait for next week to come.

Baby baby, to add to me "exciting-week", can we PLSSSSS have breakfast together on Sunday??

*****************

Yesterday was ktv session with Ch. Seeing that it was still early after my interview, i decided to call up CH and sing our hearts out since it has been quite sometime i sang! Hah, he's always my best singing khaki. There's no need to feel shy in each other's prescence. We learn new songs.. Cantonese duets (and we laugh at each others BAD pronunciation).. and when we sing, i tell you, it's PATTERN MORE THAN BADMINTON!

*****************

The day before was my lovely date with Jialing. We spent our day @ Vivocity shopping and eating! Had a very "Valued-for-money" lunch at The Mussel Guys. All for only $10.80++! The food there..I wouldn't rate it as awesome, but rather not bad.

Dear's hair has grew so long so long! I think it's time for a swop huh? Look at her hair and mine! But that also indicates how long we hadn't meet up!

To think we used to meet up almost everyday!.. Gather at Jerry's house, lying on the cosy couch, watching movies with a pizza on our hands! Or otherwise, lie on the bed and have our lil girl's talk. To add, "shop'" the pasar malam if there's one, have supper at Icekimo, celebrate the arrival of Year 2007! Dear, still remember the time when Jerry brought us to Fort Canning Park (or it was Labrador Park, i couldn't remember), he tried all ways to scare us and that left us with our hairs' all stood up! We had so much so much fun..

But the above was all possible because time allows us to do so. The moment school starts, we hardly have any time to meet up. All got so busy with exams, and of course, companion with our Boy.

Our date will never be complete without Photo-whoring seesion!! Not to say we haven't meet up for so long. Heh.

Dear's birthday is just round the corner. Will be celebrating with her next Friday at her chalet. Till then, see ya dear! Hope the pressie I've bought for you is to your liking. Loves.

*************

Will be back to blog tomorrow or so when i get photos from Dear's phone! Adios~

Ok dokey. I'll send you off tomorrow @ the airport, but not when you are back as I've 2 papers the next day. Didn't want to at first because I know I'll be tugging at your sleeves like a lil'girl! But it seems that I'm already behaving like one, aren't me?! :p

Lucky, lucky, you are coming back fast on Sunday night!

J.A.M outing confirmed! Prepare for a horde of photos! hah, guess Mel would be surprised to catch me and Ash in short hair. Really can't wait to meet up with my 2 darlings.
