finally an update - our 21:)
Bahhh.. what a bad blogger i am. So irregular. Anyway, today i'll blog about the some happy things that happened last week.
The week has been busy busy for me thanks to assignment and tests, and exams! Plus I've attached myself to a part time job cos I thought it would be good for me to gain some finance experience before I graduated. Work's good, but it's my first time handling work and studies at the same time. So this week, Mr Aw Boon Chin (ABC) didn't want to meet me during our normal going-out-days Wed and Fri, so that I could concentrate. For the good i guess, but it didn't make me happy...
Wednesday was our 21 month anniv! For the first time after a long time, we both have remembered it before the actual day. Sadly, most of the time recently has been either both of us wishing days after, on the wrong day, or either one (ABC) wishing and the other (hehe. normally me) pretending to remember back. what a terrible gf i am... But we didn't wanna go out so that i could do work.
Same for friday, cos sat was my mid term exam, and cos ABC thought i was having dinner at home. However, i ended up eating alone at home, cos my parents had to fetch colin last min. So i was pouting over hokkien mee. Called ABC and he said that he was at jurong, going to meet this guy to pass him some freelance work... I was more miserable now...
Then an hr later, my doorbell rang... MR ABC popped by with this!
WAHHHH!! His jurong was actually at the Macs near my place (RideOutTea Garden Macs). And within that Macs compound, there's this far east flora. So he went there to get me flowers, and ended up eating dinner by himself. *so poor thing. hahaha so me and him were actually eating alone. And he also came with this small tub of haagen daaz ice cream - belgium choc flavour. *sorry no photo of that cos i couldn't resist waiting to eat it. So paiseh but i totally cried.. ABC was sooo sweet! All for celebration of our coming 21.
Why paiseh i should feel you may ask? But actually sometime last week, i was actually complaining to him about us. I told him that we were doing mundane things... dinners and movies... nothing EXCITING! haha then i told him maybe cos we were going old so never do EXCITING things! I even told him maybe we should go clubbing again! and then learn new things together! hahaha I even told him he was an oldie... *gulps. *sorry dear.
Haiz, and there he goes all out to make me happy as usual. Hugging me, he just said, don't worry, i know you were stressed. What a terrible gf he got himself...
Anyway, after my exam on sat, we decided to do EXCITING! So when he asked for suggestions, i came up 'how about shopping?' This time he was the one to remind me about our EXCITING quest! NO SHOPPING! ok fine... so we decided on walking along clarke quay, outside our usual orchard relm.
Finally i brought my camera out today, so we could snap many photos.
ABC and I bought drinks from this HUGE HUGE japanese supermarket. I like my drink! I got introduced to this at the Japanese Summer Festival. In order to open it, you have to press down this marble like cover till the marble enters the bottle.. very fun! But we spent quite some muscle strength popping the marble down. ABC's drink and mine totally didn't mix. And his drink was from a pharmacy somemore!!!
On the way, we saw nice REAL flowers, quite rarely to be seen in tropical Singapore. Not the type of flower. But to see REAL nice flowers. Quite impressed.
Then we found this cute cafe selling muffins and tea. It's called Paisley & Cream. Do check it out! I think they sell pretty good muffins of reasonable price too. And I think now they are having this promotion of 20% less on food items i think!
heheh... we got a bit restless...
After that, we headed to ulu Singapore. K maybe just to me. We went down to Katong side to eat Aston's steak! When we went there, there was this looooonggg queue, and by the time it was our turn, 40 mins had passed. So ABC became a hungry grouch by the time we were seated.
hehehhe. and worse, I made him take photos before he could tuck in. *meanie gf.
Aiyaya, teeehehe look at his hungry face!
Oh well, nevermind, ABC was happy in the end and so was I! Steak was good good, and the price was even better!
Thank you for the lovely day my dear. I thank you for being such a gem in my life.
And there we end our day with these rat/bear/alien lamps. So funnyyyy!!!
I want this one with hands!
hehe. cheers to many more months my dear! Happy 21!
Mommy and Aunt coming to visittt!!
I'm supposed to be studying for my Tourism exam, but my hand got itchy again as my brain took a stroll down memory lane....
Anyway, I am sooOOO excited that my Mom and Aunt, both are coming down!!! CAN'T WAIT! I thought my travelling plans would come to an end once term ended too, and slowly wait for Thai Airways to give me an earlier date to return home to my babe. But then, maybe it was fated that they gave me a reasonable date of the 19th, such that my 2 fav ladies could make their way down! It was a pity that my mom didn't plan earlier, so that she could have come from Japan straight to here together with Aunt.
I have booked flights from Zurich to London already! Cos that's where Mom suggested to see, maybe that's her dream place to visit in Europe. And then, after that we'll head down to Paris, again. Yes yes i've been there, but i guess going there with them would be an overall different experience altogether. And I'll be there superguide, whom will zoom them to places real fast. And not excluding their favourite tea breaks allll the time. Ladureeee here i come again!
I can't wait. I just wish there was someone more coming down too:( But all is good. It turned out to be a real blessing in disguise. I'll still be looking forward to coming home, and into much chinese and mcdonald food!
BTW, Happy 18th month darling! It was supposed to be yesterday, I'm soooo sorry that I forgot about it. I love you and I hope you still love me toooooo:) *muacks
My 2 loves:)
When i'm having my exams, he suffers more. Thanks to my crazy fits and absurd demands over the virtual world.
But still he bears with it, and that's why i love him.
Continue counting down darling! I'm coming home!
Meanwhile, I'm so happy too that my other love, darling brother, has finished his first 2 months in army. Pity that I missed his ceremony, but I was so happy viewing his photos! He sure looks so grown up:) *happy.
Congrats kor! I hope you get posted somewhere nice! hehee, I can't wait to disturb you again when i'm back!
I so love you two much much!
mr. aw
I don't post that often, and today, I'm actually doing up 2 small posts. Anyway, this post goes out to my darling Mr Aw. I have been missing him so much ever since I came here.
It seems very far that I'm located in Switzerland, while you are cosy in sunny Singapore. But thankful i am for having known you way earlier, and you being a part of my life as i walk through life experiences. Knowing that i'm not alone in everything that i do or decide in. It is a really brilliant feeling. Though it is difficult for me to express my gratitude or the amount of love i wish to shower you with each day that i am here, but i hope you still feel the warmth i've provided you earlier, and know that i will continually work hard on it. Once i come back, you will have all the hugs, kisses and much missed nagging and noise that have been long overdued k?
I'm sorry for not being able to be by your side during your stressful exam times. But i am glad that i will be with you during this short break before you start work officially. I hope you can really relax and be happy before you enter a time of uncertainty and much commitment. And i certainly look forward to be the one who will be bugging you to come out during yr lunch hours and having happy dinners after work ends for the day. Making you cheerie and happy after each day of work, and also looking out for any hints of pretty girls from your office. *muahahaha.
Very soon this exchange will be over. But it says alot about our relationship. The ability to communicate despite this far distance. The ability to understand and show appreciation for the other. The very much patience and love that we express each time we speak. The much enthusiasm and happiness that just by spending 5 mins with you, can bring. How very very important you are to me..
I have never thought long distance relationships could work out. However, even though you all may argue that 4 months is of a short time to conclude anything. I truly believe it is the work and determination of both parties for things to work out. Time spent together before the parting also helps. Cos even when it becomes difficult to understand each other of their current happenings, talking about the history you two share doesn't fail. The history of your relationship will not change, and it will be of beautiful past that you will smile on, and can chat of.
I am happy, and I hope that everyone out there is feeling the same too.
I hope you too, my dearie!
I love you, and will continue loving you...For many more days to come.
diff blog
Hello everyone! I'm really sorry for these late late post. I know it has been long overdued. But i would like to ask all of you to view my other blog at www.girlsinswitz.blogspot.com. It is not that this blog is closing down. But rather during my current exchange trip to Saint Gallen, Gracia and I have decided to keep another separate blog that will hold all our beautiful memories of this experience in Switzerland.
I miss everyone back home. Love you all!
Thankful
I'm so thankful for all these friends. Just wanna say a great shout of love and thanks to everyone. I'm so going to miss all of you...
First up, my last IS core course,
PMSB (process modelling service blueprinting: if you were wondering what it meant)
team mates!! I so love all of them. The team includes of andre, amrt (aka 'A MRT', somewhat like SMRT), leonard, kevin, shupin and me. With them, our meetings have been so full of laughter, or rather more than the work done. And as much as we always say let's start early (*andre will definitely agree with this), we always end up rushing very sadly:( I even had my first project meeting along the corridors when the aircon was switched off. It's weird thinking, but i so wish for another course with all these people. Be it an IS course, i'll still take it. For much relived joy, fun and photo taking! *leonard i love yr laptop!
The lovable project team!Then there is my darling
Cakey! who has been my finance buddy! Sorry that this term we couldn't take finance 101 together. Thank you so much dear for being my my teacher in MA and FA whenever i didn't understand what was being taught. You were so good with your numbers! Everything also A. Unlike me... *boo hoo. When i come back from Swiss, we shall take more finance courses together kk? And you! Please try look around for cheaper stuff when buying things! Your buying sprees never seemed to scare me so much!
I'm so going to miss our shopping sprees and adventurous trying of food! Next there are my
ACJC people! All of you have been such great friends even till now, though second to my MG girls. hehe But nonetheless, I'm really thankful for having known you all. Despite the short duration of 2 years, i could say that some of you have been my really good friends and friends of just a shout away. I'm so sure my AC days would not be that fun without the farts, slaps, whines, love, naps, parties, bad results and irritation of our poor teachers. *Sorry mdm...
hehe. I refuse to put up any new photos other than the ones taken during our school days. They are so memorable...Then as mentioned earlier, my dearest dearest
MG girls; Hui Yin and Peggy Lee!! I can't seem to find a photo of us. *cry. But nonetheless, it doesn't change the point that these girls are really great friends. It is a pity that we can't meet up that often, cos we three are so busy with different things and yin located so far. You two have been with me since sec 2? or is it sec 1. Those were the days where we talked about the teachers and quarrelled over the silliest things. Plus yin and peg, there were your crushes over certain singers; which i must admit till now i don't really see why. hahahha i guess i'm not into idoling singers.
Anyway, Yin, you have been one of the sweetest people i've ever known. Despite you being in aussie, your birthday greetings never fail to be on time. And plus that, you even send me birthday cards. That's one point of you that i always wish to have : remembering your friends' birthdays. Such a simple thing, but i can't do it. To you two, I'm sorry for the many many birthdays that i've missed, and i'm sure this apology extends to many out there. But i must say that even if i miss the greetings, talk to you all less, have fewer meetings, I have not forgotten you two! Pegs i loved and love your hair! hahahha how can i not associate you with your mane, it's such a signature of yours!
I love you two girlies, though we seldom share our problems and gossip now, i still know who i can turn to in times of turbulence or rants. And just to let you know, I'll be here for you two too!
Miss you so much, Yin and Peg...
Hold in there
To my girl YM,Believe my dear... Believe in your mom. Believe in the treatment and medicine prescribed. Believe in the doctors. Believe in the Lord.
Stay strong my dear... For you know how much your mom needs you and your family's support. Your presence will mean so much to everyone. Simple hugs and kisses will tell their story.
Positive thoughts my dear... How about try extinguish your so frequent previous thought of 'what-ifs', and change them all to my mom will definitely get well? This incident will only be temporary. It will.
Smile my dear... Just like how you helped me relieve my blindness. Small reaction, but chain reaction. You may not need to say a word, but the patient will feel.
Ask my dear... Speak of any need or help. True friends will never leave you. Never. You showed me that, and I believe. I'll do the same to you, and I'm sure many others will. Open your eyes, and look around you dear. Many you have.
This phase will pass. And then we'll go have our picnics and tea.
Love you girl.
Happy 21st!
I held a mini birthday party a day before my actual birth date to my fav food, sushi delight! Just invited a few of my special SMU friends cos i wanted something really simple and cosy. Held it at Sakae Sushi, initially got the room but then they later gave it away to some other important people who booked the room after me. &*$%@$#(#) *cry. Was quite upset initially, but got everyone free green tea after my brilliant negotiation skills and many pouts, then became quite happy.
I'm so happy that almost everyone turned up.
The girls!
The boys!
To my dear parents, thank you for all these 21 years of overflowing love, patience and wonderful upbringing.
Daddy, thank you for tirelessly chaffeuring me around for my many tuitions (of which unfortunately brought little results:( ) i had during my secondary and jc days. Now that i can drive, I'll be the one taking over the wheel whenever you are tired! *hint hint. hehe.
Mommy, thank you for being THE girlie whom i could chat with all day about every small thing for the many past years. I still remember when i was in primary school and you scolded me over the phone "Eh you think i no need to work" because I was rattling on about what I ate and who I talked to during my recess time. But i think yr scolding doesn't work cos till now, i still find so much joy rattling non stop to you.
Without you two, I wouldn't be who I am today. Love you two!
To Shannon, it has been beautiful loving you. A guy like you just seemed like someone in my dreams and one that i could never be worthy of. You have been this really strong provider of support whenever i so often needed it. Thank you for bearing with my anger vents and unpredictable bursts, always stressing you out unnecessarily. I look forward to many many more years with you dearie! I promise to work hard towards cooking my first dish for you!
I'll sign you up for cooking lessons, you always say...
Blue the mascot of the boy! And the first guest to turn up for the party. He's a heat warmer which i thought was too adorable to be sitting on the shelf. Blue is this furry star of which performs its function of emitting heat, sadly activated only through the microwave oven. As instructed, it states, heat on high for 75 seconds, and no oil! hehehe. So the sweet boy got it for me (okie i kinda demanded for it) and off it shall go with me to switzerland to keep me warm. i love my blue!
I'm 21 already!!! *cryyyyy
