It's been long, and indeed a Good Friday!
Friday, April 18, 2014
It seems like ages since I last updated this space, nope, not gonna post photos and update what has happened in the last 5 months since I last typed something here, otherwise it's gonna be a super long post!Time always pass faster than what we all expected, a quarter of 2014 has just passed like this. And unknowingly, I have cleared one personal KPI, got my driving licence end last year! Wonder if it's worth celebrating cos it has never been something that I thought I could achieve, but this has motivated the little sister to start hers though (: Work is always the same, with knowing different people and getting the help from those who can assist. The thought of switching to another workplace seems viable in any situation but at this juncture, I thought remaining status quo at where I am seemed not too bad after all. Family. Always one of the best things that could ever happen to me, especially with the perfect combi of the little sister, never fail to add joy into my life despite her neverending 'noise pollution'. In fact, with the efforts to improve the family kinship, we are off for another trip soon! The boyf. Always irritating but nevertheless, still the love of my life. (: We have keeping the relationship like how we are since we started 4 years ago. Yes, you read it right, 4 years, who would have known that we could have last it so long when some couldn't even guarantee that we will keep it on? Our annual trips are still ongoing, so blessed and thankful for a guy who is willing to keep us going despite our minor arguments on and off. With that, 2 more days off to tag along to his work trip, can't wait! Meanwhile, with this, I shall sign off! Gonna catch 'Happy Ever Laughter 2014' with the little sister later tonight! (: It's better late than never?

Hello! Been really lazy to switch on the laptop since I got my iPad these days, but still I will make it a point to update once in a while to keep this space 'alive'... The family finally made another short trip together after our BKK trip last November! It was somewhat a last minute trip planned due to the public holiday which happened in October. As usual, it was the siblings having fun rather than the parents (:
 Shortly after reaching SG from the short Batam trip with the family, I was out of SG in less than 24 hours to head to Phuket with the boyf! It was the last trip of the year for us after KL and BKK this year, and finally decided on Phuket after so long! Boy, the weather wasn't exactly kind to us either, big hot sun in the day and heavy downpour at night, somewhat like Singapore isn't it?      As this marks the last trip with the boyf this year, of course plans have been made for our overseas trips next year! Hong Kong in January to kickstart the year! (: Time sure pass fast as we are approaching the final month of the year; December. It seemed like we have only countdown to 2013 not long ago and now we are preparing to receive 2014 soon. Thank god for better family times together this year despite Jazreel starting her working life, also for stable relationship with love despite his frequent work trips in the asia region, the only downside is probably in work when we see some ups and downs, while we made good relationships with some, we saw indifferences with others. I know it's time to think about resolutions, but I never seem to be able to achieve them while I set them in. And also, before I forget, pray hard for my upcoming driving test, if it's done, it's another major achievement strike off! Never would I thought I would ever apply for a driving licence, ought to thank Daphnee for this. (: With this, I would like to pray for even better times with the family, more positive news for the relationship and better results for work. It's kinda scary when we reach at a certain age to realise that we cannot avoid those that will eventually arrive; what we thought that things would straighten out when given time turn out to things that we will have to give and take before we see results. My mum always says that I should not be too demanding, and that made me think through some things. It is not hard to be happy/contented, to wake up each day, seeing those whom you love, enjoy the conversations, giving hugs. It puts a smile when you have these mental images happening daily. ((: Till I update again, happy holidays and let's hope for a cheerful December! (: It's been so long!! but...hi October!
Thursday, October 03, 2013
I know it's been wayyyy too long but here it is, an update! Life has been the usual apart from months where I hope I was at home relaxing rather than facing some unwanted issues at work.
One of the most important events happened in the last 3 months was my dearest sister's convocation! Yes, it's finally her turn after so long! And now our mum is bothering us on getting a date finalised for the family studio photoshoot. And she is now a working adult too! So proud of her, congrats Sis! (: The family is also going on a short getaway during the PH in October for some family bonding...
 
It's gonna be a short update, stay tuned for the next post, hopefully with more photos! (:
36 months of being together...and spending my 3rd birthday with him
Friday, July 12, 2013
Sorry for leaving this space without updates for about a month? Been busy with mainly work and driving lessons. >.< Celebrated 2 important events in the past month; (1) 3rd anniversary with baby and (2) Me turning another year older.
Celebrated being together for 36 months (37 months today) last month slightly earlier as baby had overseas assignment which can't be helped. Considered many locations for anniversary dinner, eventually decided on a Japanese buffet located along Greenwood Avenue and I must say their food is really good if you are willing slightly more, $49++ and what's the best? This price remains the same on weekends! However, be reminded to reserve beforehand as their shop space is limited. (:
Spent the following weekend having a weekend staycation with baby across the waters to mark the end of the celebrations. 36 months as a couple; many still asked if I have made my final choice when they get to know that my partner is not of the same race as I am. Thinking back, if I didn't love him so much, I wouldn't have to go through so many just to get my family to reach an acknowledgement of him, it is probably a process that you might not want to go through a second time; not that it is troublesome, but whether emotionally you are able to handle another round of roller coaster. Ups and downs, joy and laughters, irritations and arguments, you just have to mention any one and we would have probably been through it at least once? Embarking on the beginning of our 4th year, I bet more challenges are up ahead for us to deal with. (:
   Celebrated my 25th birthday earlier this year due to Ramadan starting on 10 July, although we normally celebrate it on the actual day. Venue of my birthday celebration was chosen to be at MBS Carnivore this year; food was very good except for the lamb probably, and drinks were 1 for 1 during the period from 5pm to 7pm! Second part of the celebration was done at RWS SEA Aquarium the next day! Totally regretted that we didn't purchase the priority queue at $10/pax just to get in as soon as possible! Waited for 2 hours before we got our foot into the aquarium, but it was a good experience afterall (: Celebrated Grandma's birthday in the evening who shares the same birth date as me!     Back from KL and another important date is arriving soon!

Back from our second short getaway for the year and we are already missing it! ): Back in KL after being away for more than a year, it's really like getting back to somewhere we are comfortable. Decided to stay at Piccolo hotel where it is situated 2 to 3 minutes away from The Pavilion (yes where all the good foods are!). The only downside of this getaway was the travel option we chose, or rather the flight that we decided to purchase tickets for. Coach next time for us; reminder to self.
 
And how time flies; we are into mid of 2013 and one of the important dates is arriving next week! Shall update more details on that after it happens but yes, we are turning 3 together! ((: We had our fair share of ups and downs, joys and fights but eventually the thought of being together is to give and take during times when we should so, probably that's what bring us to where we are right now. Hard to believe but it is happening...
Oh, and not forgetting...we have just decided on our last getaway location for this year in the second part of 2013 to visit Phuket/Krabi to pamper ourselves before we plan our Hong Kong trip in January 2014! Enjoying life huh? That's how it should be after we start working isn't it? Work-life balance (: Till then, have a good weekend!
Habit.Bias.
Monday, May 13, 2013
Most of my friends always tell me that I am too nice to everyone around me; even to those who bully or decided to make use of me to their own gain. I grew up in a family where family bonds used to be very close but as time goes, when everyone starts growing up, preferences start to change. As the eldest in the family, as much as I know some sacrifices are inevitable, I still can't help but to feel that I will be the last one to get attention. Everyone in this family has someone that will back them up in any case of needs; and for me? Neutral point of view probably. I am pretty sure that I am getting such attention now due to the special circumstances that I am in currently, otherwise it would probably be when I am announcing my marriage? Even by getting into a relationship, the partner is not always the most reliable person to fall back on, there are so many other people that he has to care or bother, what happens if I need the same care at the same time too?
This is probably what you call taking certain things for granted. When one gets too comfortable in the current position, it's like "never mind, he/she will understand" or "I'll call you back later, I am in the midst of going somewhere/or busy with something". Probably no one ever sit down with me to get into a serious topic of asking me what I really want or to get into a topic without ending it with an argument. Sometimes I really think, is that stupid or what? I clearly know what this will lead me to, but I will still do it, for the simple fact that I do not wish to disappoint anybody or to see anyone close to me being unhappy. So where all the unhappiness lies? The answer is quite obvious.
The family asks me to save up for rainy days and now I am using part of it for travel and application of a driving licence. However, it's like almost a crime to use my own money for my own things all because it is too often or probably it is unnecessary to start with. Yes, I know in times of need, I will need to come up with this money to be used in circumstances that are called for, but at the end of the day, I should have some say in the money that I earned isn't it?
Attitude. Everyone says changes have set in and everything is different, I didn't use to be like this, must be this and that, so on so forth...The question lies if the attitude towards me has changed too, a slight change is still called change, but of course, who will admit? Even I don't.
I am so tired of the same things happening over and over again, how I wish I could just go on a long vacation and clear the troubles to give myself some form of freedom. With the current situation, I doubt I can do that anytime soon. Everything happens for a reason, but I hope the reason will always have something to do with me, rather than it happening to me because of others.
Mother's Day & another short getaway! (:
Saturday, May 04, 2013
Now that April is over, the month of May has arrived (one of the months that keeps my pocket empty almost every year)! Mother's Day, mummy's birthday and Jazreel's birthday all within this month! Took leave to accompany mummy to spend her birthday this year because it's now a 5_! *opps* More updates to come after this week ends!
Aside from that, we have seemed to run out of places to go in Singapore ): Decided to head to the beach to chill out last weekend with love.
   Can't wait to hop out of Singapore in approx. 2 weeks time to KL! Hectic work schedules and more to come in the next few months! *prays* Short update for now! Stay tuned for this space shortly! (: |
Goodbye.
