You see, my barks are worse than bites.. And it's always the case. So don't bother to worry 'bout me. Sometimes, I just need to vent off those boiling anger trapped in me. Just that these month, my temper gets a tad fierier than before. That's all. After that, I'm fine again. (:

Baby is getting so busy these few days. And the endless meetings are tiring him out, and that led to him neglecting me! Hump!!! :( But at least, he came from Jurong to fetch me from White Image which is @ Everton Park! And brought me to Hengheng for dinner. For this, I shall forgive him for not sending me down to wait for cab. Heh.

Just this time. You better watch out. lol~

Anyway, it's shopping on Saturday again! Identity of my partner still remain unknown. If no one's free, then I shall go solo! Anyway, I've lotsa stuff to get for Bintan. And Baby gave me $200 to help him buy clothes. May be faster to shop alone ya.

My worklife is gonna end very very soon. Counting down! YAY! :D

Happy 6th Monthsary Baby!! :DDD

All I wanna tell you is that I love you very much and that I'm really glad that I've such a caring and loving boyfriend! You are a boyfriend "almost perfect" that I never dream that I'll actually have one. You made my everyday so happy so happy. But of course, there're days when you made me feel like slapping you hard on your face. Ha. Ha. Ha. I know you're someone who can give me a complete sense of security and that I could entrust my life to.

I appreciate that you brought my favorite food to my doorstep during my exam period. I appreciate that you remember every monthsary and made an effort to forgo your lunch break and go get a gift specially for me. I appreciate that you took care of me when I'm sick. I appreciate that you give me a koala hug whenever you come home from work. I appreciate everything of you!!

Muacks baby! Lovelove. I hope we'll have many many monthsary(s) together!!

You may think I'm a self-centered, narrow-minded person, but I've my reasons. So what if I see a dime bigger than a bullock wheel? Don't you? Huh?

To grow up in such a crap environment where circumstances actually forced me to be this kind of person, you'll know what I mean. Countless times I've tried to spare a thought for others, but still, at the end of the day, I failed, with the needle pointing back T myself. I couldn't help being like this. Try putting yourself in my shoes, and I bet you will feel like slamming your head hard against the wall. I wish I could surrender. But I couldn't!

Baby always tells me that kindness begets kindness, and that's for sure. But why didn't I see it happen right in front of my eyes? Why is it that God always let me see the negative side of mankind. All I know is that reality is cruel. Never be too kind to others.

Who doesn't want to be happy, to be a carefree person? You say? Don't ever try to tell me off. Because you are not me. And you will never be me.

"Tomorrow will be a better day." Is it? So much for all these self-comforting words.

Prove me wrong..
Prove me wrong!!

Saturday, March 22

Indeed, it was a real good Friday spent with my Baby. As usual, we headed to Yan Palace for Dim-sum. It was my treat today! How could I bear to ask Baby to pay when he had just spent so much on the Bintan trip? And especially when there's more to come as the previous payment was only for accommodation. Not to forget our Dinner of the Legend, spa retreats, and our private-hired car which have yet to be added into the bill! Whenever I talk 'bout this, my heart can't stop pounding! Waay too too excited! :D

While waiting for the restaurant to open, we sat at the open reading newspapers to kill time. Don't ask me why, but somehow, taking out my camera from my bag seemed to be almost an instinctive reflex. So there I go.

You see.. No doubt it was a better way to kill time as compared to burying my head in the newspapers. So I just carried on even with eyes riveting on me and you bet, I had fun doing this. Always!

Right after our breakfast, I accompanied Baby back to work. That's when my NDS came to good use! Ended our day with a sumptuous dinner at Melben Seafood (Again?!). What ever happen to my previous addiction - Vongola @ Acacia??

I'm gonna let you all have a sneakie at the beautiful place I'm gonna stay at Bintan!

Ta-dah!**

Baby has sucessfully secured two places at Bayan Tree Villa - Bayfront! Paid a king's ransom for one night stay though ($960!!). =x And zoom in to the picture in the middle. That's the romantic and sensuos place we're gonna have our dinner at - Dinner of the Legend!

I simply can't wait!! Our first trip together. :D:D

So many exciting stuff awaiting me in the latter part of the month and the next! Muffin session, birthday celebrations, my Bintan trip, shopping with Ashie, my appointment with Georgia Lee (after a 1.5 month wait!), hair job @ Ricky's, and the start of school! heh.

Off to have my beauty sleep now! Have to wake up early in the morning to have Dim-Sum at Yan Palace with Baby later on! Nights (:

Ever since the day I handed my duties over to my colleague who has just returned from her maternity leave for a good 3 months, I never had a good day at work. And especially when the methods we used in handling each case is totally different in style, all i could do is just nod my head dutifully and agree with her even if I don't. And one more person to delegate duties to me.. It just gets me on my nerves! But what to do??

Not that I'm biased against her. I just loathe the feeling of people taking hold of my "possession". And somewhere deep within my head, I hear a voice saying "You'd better dispel any feeling of resentment towards her. That will make you a total bitch when in fact, she did nothing wrong! And she was the one who assisted you through all the duties when you're left all alone!" :(

With a location so shabby (not actually lah, but to me is..), and with the variety of food so limited, I couldn't think of any other reason to stay a day more here. In addition, 8/10 people here are uncivilized ones.

Oh, maybe the attractive pay which I bet I couldn't get it outside? Yes, the pay.

9 more days, and I'm outta this place. Darn it!

For the fourth Saturday, the Belles' got together again and as usual, went on a shopping spree. This time, I manage to stick to my budget of $100. And from now on, I'm gonna keep a tight rein on my purse strings. I mean it!

As "besieged" by request, I brought my darling CJ7 out! We seemed to have channeled the innocence of a three-year old kid and couldn't stop toying with my CJ7! And I'm proud that my CJ7 has received numerous praises from all my friends! What a heartthrob it is. :D

Don't belittle this green "ET". It's selling for a whooping 70USD on Ebay, and $69.90 in one of the retail shops in Far East Plaza! Never thought that one plushie could fetch such high prices! I'm glad that Baby got one for me from Taiwan. And before I forget to mention, beware of those imitations selling at low prices!

Dear just couldn't take her eyes off my CJ7. If i knew she liked it, I would have ask my Baby to get another one. But wait, on a second thought, how could it be possible when my CJ7 was a surprise from Baby to me? :p

Dear couldn't take her eyes off my Cj7, while I couldn't take my hands off my NDS! No more boring bus trips, only trips with adrenaline rushing up and excitement!

Oh ya. Baby and I have yet to book our resorts for Bintan. That silly boy went to place an reservation for a resort which cost a whooping $980 SGD per night! And a sumptuous dinner which amounted to $300! (Did I just hear people screaming?) Good gracious. They were all not yet confirmed, still waiting for their reply. Luckily he told me that just in time. I just couldn't bear to live in such extreme luxury when it's just a short getaway for 2D1N. This sum of money would be better off used for going Hongkong or places farther away!

Baby did suggest we go to the travel agency and make decisions on all the necessities together. But well, wouldn't that mean there won't be any surprises at all? Surprises just make me weak. And my love for them are immense. *Baby - I suppose my intention was clear enough? :p:p

But well, this shows that Baby can't wait to make me a happy Birthday princess. Or rather, am I one already? (:

After I parted with Dear, I ended my day off by chilling at Altivo Bar (The Jewel Box) with 2 of his police academy friends. And Elaine was telling me how Baby couldn't stop mentioning my name in front of them! Like whenever Baby sees things I like (Eg) Hello Kitty, The Natural sweets, he will go " Oh, my girlfriend likes this!".

I couldn't help blushing upon hearing that. I can't agree more with her that Baby doesn't look a bit like the sort of guy that will do such sweet and romantic stuffs for his girlfriend. And I tell you, when it comes to humoring me, he does it better than anyone out there. *winks

I'm in the best of mood now! Finally, after so long, I bought my Crimson DS Lite, and my VAIO Red lappy is on its way too (waiting for quotation) . And though Baby didn't leak much details on our Bintan trip, but I know he must have planned a wonderful one and I just can't help going goo-ga over it whenever I think of it! That's gonna be our first trip together! Yay~ :D

Shopping spree with sweets this Sat again. And our favorite Pahd-thai for lunch!

With a boyfriend that loves me so much, what more could i ask for you say? (:

On a sidenote, N82 isn't that bad as I thought ya? You shall be the judge.

Yay! Finally my naughty boy has came back from Taiwan! And for the first time, he brought back presents for me! When he said it was not something expensive, I already had an inkling what it could be. :D

Aren't they just soo lovely? (: Now that school is starting in no time, this pencil case coupled with a set of mechanical pencil and pen, came perfectly at the right time. And in case you don't know, I've been using a particular Kitty pencil-box for 10 good years!

And lastly..

My CJ7! This completely took me by surprise I tell you. Heh.

Baby, I just wanna tell you I love these presents! Thank you! Hmmm.. Let me see what presents have you given me for the past few months.

1st monthsary - Gucci EnvyMe (you delivered to my house specially accompanied with a my favorite mee-tai-mak!)

2nd monthsary - Titus bling-bling watch

3rd monthsary- SK Novi Pendant

4th monthsary - Gucci EnvyMe again. (cus I broke mine! =x)

5th monthsary - Philips Santinelle Epliator

6th monthsary - which is 2 weeks from now! What could it be?? bleh :p

And still counting on.. (:

Baby! Do you know that you're pampering me so much that sometimes, I feel so much like a 3 year old kid! But well, I like. Keep it up baby.

Baby just called me to tell me he's running a fever! I'm feeling very unwell too.

Been coughing badly and the throbbing pain in my head doesn't seem to go away too. :(:(:(

Can't wait to see Baby tomorrow! Really miss him! And my presents too! :D

He says he gonna give me a big hug upon seeing me. I'm not gonna be taken in by his sweet words. I tell you, he wouldn't dare. And that's for sure. Especially in front of his colleagues who are of higher authority!

We shall see.

Meanwhile, I'm just gonna take a shower and then off to sleep!

My dearest is now in Taiwan attending an open ceremony of a company upon invitation. And me, all left in Singapore alone. :(

But luckily, I planned my weekend way beforehand and made extra sure that I'm kept busy throughout.

So on this Saturday afternoon, I had the privilege of having the companion of my Baobei! (she greeted me with this sweet lovely word which brightened up my day at work! :p)

Shopping with her may be fun, but to a certain extent only. Why? Simply because I'll always get home with a hole in my pocket. And yes it's always the case! At least, at least, three blue notes flew. Sigh.

For the past two Saturdays. she has been complaining 'bout me always having to rush over to Baby's place right after shopping (oh man, you just don't know how much he misses me :p). Now that Baby is in Taiwan and I've all the time in the world, it's her turn! She claimed she's meeting her friend to get some of her stuff. But it's been two hours already!

UH-huh, who knows if she's up to some kinky business right in a hideous corner in the alley. LOL

*chuckles* Us trying to act sexy with the red-black brassiere we bought from La Senza two years ago. Who does it better you say? (:

Anyway, when's our next meeting?! Suss out the idea of shopping okay! No more. It's too much for me to take. I'm not rich enough to go shopping every week. Hahaha. A good swim is what I need maybe. Heh.

Baby just called me to tell me that he got 4 presents for me! But he emphazied that not to expect expensive stuff though they're ones I like. But whatever it is, I just want you to be back in my arms asap! Can't wait for Monday night to come!

RAHH. I miss you so badly Baby!

Friday, March 7

The J.A.M celebrated the Missus birthday, surprisingly, at a coffeshop in Ang Mo Kio. In our (Mel and Me) eyes, Ash is forever our lil' princess who has everything she wants. So rather than giving her stuff that she may not like at the end of the day, we treated her to the famous legendary crab bee-hoon @ Mellben which she had not tried before. :D

Albeit it was a short 2 hour celebration, we enjoyed ourselves much. And I'm actually kinda proud (should i or not??) because I was the one who made them laughed like mad!

All because of this picture...

I think i looked like a retard in this picture! *Screams*
But they claimed I looked really CUTE in here! UGH. My image is marred in just a flash.

Stuff like wriggling my ears/touching my nose with my tongue/rolling my tongue or making crossed-eyes was never my forte! And never will it be. I just don't have innate talent to do that!

Hump. Who to blame? My parents. Yes, them. :(

The usuals.

And you'll be surprised to know that all these photos were taken in a mere 10 minute car ride!

Before i forget, Happy 21st birthday Dear!!

See you darlings on Sunday! I hope no one goes flying around in her Airbus A380. *keeping my fingers crossed*

Tuesday, March 4

Haven been going to Uncle Henry's wake for 2 consecutive nights and was thinking, why not i stay at home today and have a good rest. But each time I come home early, I couldn't get to sleep at all! Regardless how tired am I! That somehow defeats the purpose ya? So now here am I, munching on Jacobs, blogging. :'(

Now i know why Baby doesn't want me to buy a NDS. I was just telling him that at the situation I'm in now, it would be good if I have the company of NDS. Then he told me he's afraid that I might neglect him once I get my hands on it! Aww...Silly boy. Why would I neglect you? You just don't know how much I missed you now! (:

And so, he asked me to come here and blog about how i want to celebrate my Sweet ** birthday. Sigh. Planning a birthday celebration (and esp it's my own) really racks my brains. Our initial plan was to hold a chalet and invite all my darlings over. But then we thought, I'm not at the age of when people will go hoo-ha over it...Like the eighteen or twenty-first birthday. Why spend such money then?

So... plan No.1 cancelled.

Plan No.2 - Celebrate my birthday at Fullerton Hotel and invite a few close friends over. At the end of the day, the list of people i wanted to invite got so long that baby wondered which part of "a few" I don't understand.

Well, there goes plan No.2.

Plan No.3 - Spend my birthday at Hongkong with Baby and Dear(JL). But Daddy said he will never give me the green light. So what to do?!

So how, you say? I guarantee you no hem and haws will be involved if you were to ask me to draw up a list of the presents I want for my birthday. *tongues out* WELL. Pink NDS? Coach/Gucci schoolbag? Gucci wallet? New piano? VAIO laptop?

'Nuff said! I think i just heard Baby swearing. LOL

As i said, this is a super random entry. And so, I'm gonna end randomly too. Byebye!

P.S. Baby, I love you!! Mmmmuacks~~~If you could call me a min or two more than the norm when u're at Taiwan and don't be so "kiam", I'll be happy enough!

On a sidenote, my hair is getting longer! Very very very soon, I'll be able to look like this again! Yayy!!

@ 11:10 PM

I was surprised when I knew that LG Viewty actually gained more popularity and fared so much better than the latest Nokia N82! Yes, though LG may be well known for the production of sleek, feminine yet chic designs, But on the other hand, it's infamous for it's laggy programs and very-not-user-friendly. I myself now is using an LG 5 megapix camera phone (KG920) too and i know the problems it brings me.

Likewise, Nokia is known for their user-friendliness but well, the designs are kinda dull ya?

The photos in the post on Botanic Garden were all taken with N82. Hard to believe yeah? Yea, and the quality of those......just sucks.

Was actually planning to buy N82 so Baby and I could have couple phones. Right before N82 was released, I caught my eye on Viewty. But now... Aww. Not gonna buy either of them anymore. Just gonna stick to my current phone. Though it doesn't have any stabilizer, but the photos came out equally great. Ya? *winks

Style VS User-friendliness. Which you choose, you say?

Or maybe, I shall pin my hopes on Sony Erisson. (:

@ 9:05 PM

I'm not pinpointing anyone. But please, for Christ's sake, just let me have a day of peace. Just one day will do. This ain't Mission Impossible, ain't it?

Please!

Getting online on Msn used to be an once in a blue moon thing. But not now anymore. For 2 consecutive Saturdays, even with my eyelids so droopy and heavy, I still went online, just for her. Yes, it's a HER.

Whenever she doesn't get what she wants, she'll pout like a pathetic 3 year old lil' girl and whine on and on and on.
Yes, just like this.
Just tell me, how am i supposed not to give in to her?

As time goes by, I find us getting really closer and closer. The sisterly bond between us got nothing but stronger than ever, which is something i sincerely hope will stay through with us! :D

(Don't you all think that she resembles the M)phosis manequin with that headband? Ha. All she need is just a retro white glasses to perfect the image!)

Love you Dear!

p.s. thank you for giving up your rambutans to me for the sake of cheering me up

p.s.p.s. please thank me for getting a whooping 30% discount for you at Addidas and my sumptous treat at Soup Restaurant! :)

Off to sleep now. Tennis and swimming tomorrow with the J.A.M girls, and shopping/gym/badminton with Dear next weekend! Till then, see ya!
