happy happenings!

2012-02-26T22:59:00.000+08:00

Hello there! Although work has been really tiring but thanks to the happy happenings these 2 weeks to last me through, and what are they? (:

It's the usual dinner date that B and I have after work, and we were indeed running out of places to go (other than those usual places which we prefer). So since we are in the area to have our favourite ice cream of all times, we headed to Roof Terrace Cafe to try! Indeed, with affordable prices, their food is really nice! The best of all is the ambiance and environment outside the cafe! Too bad, we went without reserving a table so we got seats indoor. Shall the outdoor experience one of these days!

Post vday weekend was even better! B and I went to catch the Kumar's Amazing Race! It was really 'amazing', it was our first experience but I'm pretty sure it wouldn't be our last. (: It has been some time since we took time to do things like catching such shows, fitness day and etc. And now with work, I really miss those times.

I finally took a day leave to rest at home before spending the usual weekend with b in JB, and I really felt how important these time meant to me after being at work for a year or so. I used to have tonnes of free time during times when I was in school and now even if more annual leave than some of my friends, I really hope I will more of such times. Oh! Soon enough in fact, will be heading to KL again in about 2 weeks? You must be thinking, why KL again? I just wanna a short getaway before big projects arrived at my desk again, and moreover, we will be travelling in about 3 months time from KL too (:

I wonder if it's the work or it's just me. I think I am getting short tempered recently, never did I have such least patience with baby from the time I knew him. Or perhaps as we move deeper into this relationship, there are more things that I have in store for him that's good for him in my eyes, but guys are guys eventually, I know it's eventually impossible to get him to listen or maybe that's just my baby. I should be more grateful for all these blessings I have. I never knew that my once good friend turned boyfriend has such high level of patience, who knows how to break my silence to see me smile, knows to wipe my tears and turn them into laughters, most importantly, to learn to accommodate so that we move together as one. In a blink of an eye, we have almost knew each other for 4 years, and with us dating for nearly 2 years, I think we know each other so well that sometimes we 'make use' of these points to irritate each other. He is definitely a remarkable boyfriend, although I always tell him and then giggle it off. <3

Alright, it's another working day tomorrow. Time for bed! (:

Love is around the corner!

2012-02-12T22:17:00.002+08:00

Hello there! 2012 is passing fast and we are in mid February now! And in just 2 days' time, couples will be celebrating the annual Valentine Day again! Like many other couples, baby and I will also be celebrating but no fanciful restaurants because we are late in deciding on locations! Not to forget, it's our 20th month today too, but he is on his way back from KL. And yes, you could see he is no longer that 'camera shy' but partially that's because I asked him to... It's our 2nd V-Day this year, but there are many lessons learnt within a year. He is definitely different from the other boyfriends that I have before. He wouldn' tolerate any nonsense from me unlike others who will give in and eventually I get to do things my way. But this has made me to be aware of my own temper and remind myself that not everyone will give in to you, not even your loved ones. And for the fact that he is my first boyf of other races, challenges that arise from various places have made me more resilient over the past 1.5 years. I admit, it was really hard to even think of what will happen in our first 3 months but we have survived the run till this checkpoint, and the remaining checkpoints are for him to clear with my support behind him. (:

Some changes will take place this year; b will get a job and start working, official graduation will be in the second half of the year. For me, I guess you will still find me at my current workplace till there are other forms of advancement. Many plans running through my head but all will have to wait till the basics are stable, or rather baby steps need to be taken.

For all who will be celebrating Valentine Day, enjoy yourself with loads of hugs and kisses! <3

CNY 2012!

2012-01-25T01:14:00.001+08:00

It's the long awaited long weekend finally! Time flies and it's CNY again! And to think that it has been a year that I have started work since then till now. But good times always pass fast so it's a working day tomorrow once again! I would love to take leave but shall bear with it till next month (: This year's CNY is especially meaningful when B came to join us in the second part of the visiting! And yes, he was mistaken as a Chinese once again! Does B really look chinese? What's more? He met both my grandmas officially (in one way or another). It's his 1st CNY with me but it will be my 3rd Hari Raya with him this year (: It's a good thing I supposed when we get to enjoy both the festivals.

Spent a good 3 hours at my maternal grandma's place yesterday and it was really good to see all my uncles and aunts along with the noisy yet lively cousins! Even the youngest one is 3 years already! It goes to show that I am really getting older as the years pass, but everyone goes through the same stage, we grow up, the education journey, career path, marriage, after-career plans, etc. So another CNY has passed, what's in store for next year? We shall look forward and see how it goes...So it's time for bed now! Goodnights all!

Hello 2012!

2012-01-07T00:19:00.000+08:00

Hello! It has been a week into 2012; how's everyone coping with the new year? Time sure fast enough, it's another new year. A year into working life; moments of ups and downs, and I still miss school life. But unknowingly, B has graduated too, to think that a year's gap of graduation would be long. 2011 has been a wonderful year, 2012 will definitely be better (:

Summing up the events in 2011; it is not exactly a long list but sure they have impact in one way or another.
(1) My official convocation ceremony: a big thank you to my parents who insisted that I cannot stop just that diploma. The 2 years spent in university was the best time compared to other education journeys; and to be part of the student council was perhaps the best thing that made my school life even more fulfilling than ever. Met people, consists of friends of all kinds.
(2) My first official job: all thanks to my all-resourceful uncle, he managed to get me a job in my current workplace and yes I am still working there now. Working life is really tiring but to be able to complete a particular big project, the sense of satisfaction is really good.
(3) Overseas trips: well, for the fact that I have started working, short trips are not so much of a problem. But thanks to baby, I had 2 overseas trips just in 2011! Bangkok and KL! Both were refreshing trips especially when work can be a killer. (:

With the arrival of 2012, there will be more happy things since I am getting used to work stress (even though I complain about it all the time). Soon, it would CNY in 2 weeks' time! How can time be passing so fast? Plus, Jazreel is turning 21 this year too! The only thing that I haven't received are the wedding invitations from friends, but I guess as time goes, all these will come around... For now, just be myself, enjoy every single moment, and be happy. (:

Blessed Christmas

2011-12-27T01:32:00.000+08:00

Merry Christmas! 2011 will be ending in a week's time and hope 2012 be a better year for all of us. A long weekend came along with the arrival of Christmas this year and it will be the same for New Year. How I wish the troubles that I face in work can be resolved with the hope of the new year, let's bless me with all the luck.

My family does not have the habit to celebrate Christmas each year, and likewise for B and I (since none of us are christians to start with). Decided to head across the causeway to spend Christmas this year with B, done up with MACS and now we can skip the process of writing the white cards (: Yet the surprises came one after another, I surprised him with his present on Christmas Eve while I got mine on Christmas Day itself! I have always tell B that he can be forgetful at times, but he do remember the important things! He did ask what I wanted for my birthday this year, and I told him it's either a watch or a necklace. He complained that the necklace is much harder to find and a watch is always easier. But what's more heartwarming and precious to hear than the surprise was something that I personally was hoping for more baby steps to be taken towards the eventual destination. Thank you baby, thank you for being so understanding; putting yourself in my shoes and know what's my real intention behind all these. You know how much that sentence meant to me. <3

6 days to the new year, I am no longer doing up resolutions because sometimes certain things will take time and it will not happen within a year. Things will happen naturally when time is ripe. I just hope that some things will move smoothly without much hiccups.

Hello new love!

2011-12-11T00:44:00.001+08:00

Hello! It's the final month before 2012 steps in; any plans to spend the countdown? I am still cracking my brains hard to think of venues & activities to spend this year's countdown with B. Other than catching fireworks, no other interesting activities? Ohwell, I have another 2 weeks to think about it?

And yes, was checking something for the office on Apple's website, and guess what I found? My ideal Ipod Nano is on promotional price! Without much hesitation, I made my purchase online that same night and delivery was on Friday! Fast isn't it? This is to reward myself after a year of working life and also to replace my good old Ipod classic of 5 years! (: Isn't it pretty?

And soon, it's going to be happy 18th for us, on the nice pretty date, 12 Dec (It would look even better next year, when it's our 30th)! Sometimes I still think it is a miracle that we have survived thus far. I think we will never exactly figure out how we last till where we are now. But still, I'm glad that he decided to hold on no matter how harsh reality can be at times. Just as I have got over the fact that my parents are kind of acceptable of this situation, I think I was being placed into another harsh reality scenario. Well, it would be kind of sad that your future MIL might not be too agreeable to both of you being together if everything moves smoothly say till marriage? Who doesn't want their child to marry well, marry with happiness? But the underlying fact that they still want their child marry to someone who they are in favour of, how do we even reconcile that? It can't be that I love your son, but it's okay if you don't, likewise vice versa. I know B might not be so bothered when it's vice versa, but I do. I know many will tell me not to think so much now, nothing is for sure. (: I am just always putting myself in worry.

Time for bed; shall spend some time to do some office work later and leave some time for Running Man! Yes, office work cannot be spared but well time to relax is a must during weekends and then it's meeting B time thereafter! Enjoy your weekend! (:

hello KL!

2011-11-27T22:04:00.001+08:00

Yes we just got back from KL this morning around 3am! Perfect year-end holiday with b and everything went well! Good weather, fantastic accommodation, awesome company, what else can I ask for? Some of you might been asking; why KL for year-end trip when we have other choices? Well, that's because I haven't been to KL before? So B decided that KL should be our next destination before we can consider other countries. Now that we are done with KL, it's time to crack our brains for other good places (:

Our accommodation was perfect! Rated 3rd in Malaysia, Park Royal Serviced Suites was indeed a good choice made by us! It was big, airy, fully equipped and most importantly, it was considered fairly affordable for serviced suites! I don't think you will get such prices in Singapore's serviced suites.

Of course! How can we miss out the good food in Malaysia? And it was easier to eat out at any where for B too! Beef ribs at Tony Roma's! Definitely good food for my first try!

And how would B miss out in bringing me to the places that I must visit? Spent half a day going from places to places. On a side note, KL is indeed a good place to shop! Came back with one full bag of stuffs! (: Not forgetting the daily foot massages that we went, they end up talking to B in mandarin! Does he really look like a Chinese?

It's our 3rd trip together and yes we are still loving how overseas trips make us understand each other better. Every trip adds pages of memories we share to our relationship. All these are uniquely exclusive, no one can steal, neither can anyone change these memories. But this trip has strongly reflected how B can make me feel safe and loved when I am being with him. Definitely it was wise to leave my heart in his safekeeping. <3 Thank you B, yet another good trip. Time to plan our 4th trip soon!

Meanings

2011-11-09T23:24:00.002+08:00

Hello! It's been some time since I last updated! Despite the end of the budget cycle, workload do not seem to decrease due to manpower shortage in the office ): Well, there will always something (or someone) to cheer me up (: With B finishing his last paper last Saturday, it reminds me of the good old days where you feel the sense of relief after the completion of the last paper every semester. But time flies; it's almost a year that I have stepped into the world of reality: work. As much as the reality world provides you with the practicality of income and other things, nothing beats the joy of being a student. You will never be shortchanged as there are always student deals around, no standard hours of work as school timetable is super flexible and of course, as much as you hold precaution to some friends, they will never win those you meet at the workplace (:

And yes! Someone decide to make my day tonight ((: B surprised me (yet once again, he never fails to catch me at the right time to present his surprises) with a simple stalk of rose. Since the time we started dating, he is someone that is against the thought of giving flowers for the simple reason that they don't last longer than a few days. And being trained in practicality, I've gradually learned that these money can be saved up for better things. Thus, the very first bouquet which baby gave was on my official graduation day, 10 stalks of my favourite; champagne roses. I could clearly remember how he gave me this stalk tonight. I was late in meeting him, and the next moment when I met him, he whispered into my ear telling me, "Baby, surprise for you." And I was like, "huh?" But before I could keep my expression, he took this out from his bag with a wide grin (: It's hard to explain how I felt at that moment, but it's really sweet of him to do so because he is not well-known to be romantic. It's known that different number of stalks of roses represent various messages. And a stalk usually refers to "You're my one and only".

Typing this post brings back loads of memories; from the time when I realised that things are gonna to take a change till the time we are officially together, we have been through I thought the worst of everything. But that was just the beginning. Obvious objections from parents, hints from relatives were just some of what we (or I) have to endure emotionally. But well, we survived through. <3 Moving into our 17th month, it's a bliss that we are maintaining these little things that we are doing for each other. (: Totally looking forward to end of this month!

The busy week is finally over!

2011-10-27T00:00:00.001+08:00

Phew! What a busy week I had in the office; it was the annual budget cycle as usual. I had never expect it to be so bad even though my colleagues have warned me about it. Moreover, we were short of manpower to begin with, that makes it even harder to leave office early! Ohwell, at least we are done with it for now (: And all thanks to this Morocan Mint tea latte with chocolate to accompany me through tedious afternoons of going through excel sheets for this budget cycle. Yes, my workplace just opened a new Coffee Bean outlet (and that is gonna to contribute to part of my weight increase plus a small hole in my pocket).

At the same time, it is also the exam period for those who are studying which include my sister and B. They just got to endure another 7 to 8 more days before they get freedom! I don't know if I had given B sufficient energy booster as compared to previous semesters, but I am starting to feel the workload gain in the office. I really got to seriously consider if I should continue with tuition next year as it is a one year full commitment every Saturday. And that's because I have so many other things that I want to do! How??

Came across this on FB and thought this really describes how B and I since the time we started dating. We seems to be so comfortable with each other that sometimes people really wonder if we are a couple. Isn't this the best outcome that a couple should forward to rather than to endless worries, overprotective measures, unnecessary concerns? This might sounds so impossible to do but I am pretty sure B and I are almost like this in reality (of course with additional romance within it as well).

Can't wait for their exams to end so that we can have more time to celebrate as well as have fun at play! It's back to work again after a good day of rest on a public holiday in the mid of the week. At least it's no longer budget cycles for now (: It's gonna to be a cool chilling night, rest well people. Goodnights!

Happy birthday!

2011-10-14T01:42:00.002+08:00

Had a series of fun times last week; took leave for school bash and also specially for B. And yes, happy birthday B, hopefully I am not too late in this! Definitely he would have enjoyed it better than last year's. (: First up was dinner at Carousel at Royal Plaza on Scotts, food was great, and perhaps the best thing was that it was halal. ((:

Headed off to USS the next day! B has been wanting to head there to try out the rides so I took up my friend's offer to get tickets to admit us in. The weather was great to us, thankfully! I decided to forsake the rides because of my fear for heights but B tried every single roller coaster which was available! USS wasn't very big to say, but it took us a good 5 to 6 hours inside to finish up the walking and the games.

I simply love their infrastructure, imagine doing a photoshoot there? It would definitely look great (: Now that USS is completed, it's gonna to be a headache for me when it comes to his birthday again next year, going to run out of places to go. My brain juices must be able to serve me with sufficient new places for consideration next year. But then again, it doesn't exactly matter where we celebrate as long as we are together during the celebration. We have seen loving couples around us breaking up not because they didn't love each other, but for other social reasons. This is why we always have good faith in ourselves to make this works for the fact that we have hang in there for so long. Good things are meant to last. <3

Had the company's D&D last Saturday at Suntec so everyone is dressed to a T. Times that I was unable to recognise my wards' nurses! Everyone was suit up, pretty and good looking! But overall, it was more of a catch-up session.(:

Gonna celebrate Daddy's birthday this weekend in JB! Can't wait, totally looking forward to it! (:

It's October!

2011-10-02T13:53:00.003+08:00

It's the month of October already! I thought I just mentioned that I was so looking forward to this, and it has arrived! Bash was over 2 days ago; and boy, it was fun although I lost my voice after falling sick just the day before bash, how unlucky am I? But nevertheless, the fun factor was there. (:

SummerDaze was the theme for this year's bash. Had to do last minute shopping online with Nicole's help. (: Different theme each year, but we still look more or less the same each year. And I have made a deal with AMS to hit the dancefloor next year! By then, B would be coming back as VIP already. (: We should be having more fun as compared to this year's, I guess?

Alright, shall update on this again when I am back on Tuesday! Time to prepare now!

Choices

2011-09-26T00:23:00.001+08:00

Hello! I know it has been like 2 weeks since I last updated, but here I am! Been coping up with work and tuition, although tuition is ending in another one month's time. It has been a pretty good month so far except that the manpower in office has not increased since the leaving of 2 colleagues and yes there are another 2 upcoming in the next 2 weeks. In any case, it is a test to how much work I can handle so far, as well as it is tiring, but at least it hasn't exactly killed me yet. I don't know how long I can last, but hopefully I need not start making choices anytime soon yet?

Looking forward to the leave that I am going to have this coming weekend, bash and B's birthday celebration!! At least this is going to be a short break away from work before the budget cycle comes along next month! And of course before my year-end holiday with B to KL as planned.

Was out on raya visiting last weekend with the mats and also with Sarah, 4 houses and it took half a day; tiring as it is, but it was really fun meeting up with the boys again (I am working already, I don't get the chance to bump into them in school). Nevertheless, it will be another year before the 3rd round of visiting happens for me, because B's 1st CNY visiting would happen in a few months' time! (:

Alright, it's time for bed and return my sis's new Macbook back to her...Goodnights all!

Give and take.

2011-09-11T19:18:00.002+08:00

Hey there! It's already almost mid of September, did I just post an entry not long ago that it was the beginning? Time is passing real fast and we are left with the last quarter of the year to go... This means, it would have meant I have worked a year by then and B has graduated (unofficially) from school! It would be another phase of change that we got to work and adapt to.

Finally got to have some couple time spent with B in the midst of his never-ending assignments for dinners and also my long-awaited massage in JB yesterday! Went to work in the morning for the MBBS exams and was done by 12noon! So met up with B by 1pm and we were ready to go across for some pampering treats! Managed to even do my pedicure while my poor boyf got to walk around the mall for 45 minutes, sorry baby! and it was the 2-hour traditional thai massage that made us felt worth it after a day's of walking.

More things are happening in the next 2 to 3 weeks; first is the school bash happening end of this month and next is baby's birthday celebration! (: So looking forward to it, and yes I've got my leave approved for the above.

Our next phase would mean there will be many more decisions, give and take between us to adapt to. For the fact that I am pretty sure, we are not going to be working in the same industry. There are gonna to be lots of changes, to be frank, I will be worried too, but B and I have been preparing ourselves for it, which we are definitely facing instead of avoiding it. All we had given was that little faith both of us had. For the fact that we have went on for so long, and have passed what we thought was the most difficult hurdle, we should be able to handle this even much better with our hearts together as one. Sometimes I just love to have small talks with baby and this will put us in good position to make certain decisions. Although my darling baby always praise himself, but I really have to say that he is an awesome boyf, he knows me too well at times that I hope he didn't have to.

For now, it's Sunday night again and I got to decide what I want to have dinner. Till I update again. (:

September!

2011-09-01T00:04:00.002+08:00

Hello there! It seems like my graduation ceremony just happened yesterday, everything still seemed so real, so close. In fact, I am so close to returning my graduation gown soon! And on a side note, it's the month of September. The month of Ramadan has passed faster than what I thought. I don't know if I should give myself a pat on the shoulder or should I have done better? Well, there is always next year to evaluate once again. (:

The month of September reminds everyone about Teachers' Day. Being a teacher (in one way or other) myself, the joy of teaching kids is something that you cannot get in the midst of work unless you are working in an educational institution. Having to say that, sometimes, you get more anger than joy most of the times I guess. Having to stop teaching on a regular basis after October this year is really a pity but for the good of my body, I guess it is just good to stop and just focus on work for the time being. And of course, before I get rantings from people who care for me, better know what's better for myself!

The last time I saw B was on my graduation day, and boy, even I am amazed by the number of days I have not seen him! My poor boy is really busy with his projects and apparently RMIT just decide to kill everyone by putting deadlines one after another with a week interval. Sometimes I wonder if it's really time management issues or is it the poor planning of the schedule? I never thought I could endure these number of days not seeing B but somehow I managed to overcome it without having to complain neither to make a big fuss out of it. Is it because I have reached another level of understanding between us, or is it because there is really way too much work in both of our schedules? I choose to believe that it's the former, for the fact that work is never ending, there will be times that I will stop for a few moments thinking how B is coping with school today but I know, he doesn't have that time for these. Now I begin to really understand that relationships do not just survive on love alone, understanding matters much more than what you think it would.

Well, let's hope that I will catch a glimpse of him this week and hopefully he hasn't got tire out by the huge amount of work to be done in the remaining days of this week! It's time for bed now! (hopefully it's his bedtime too)

I'm an official graduate!

2011-08-24T17:32:00.007+08:00

Time sure pass fast enough, after a 9-month wait, it's finally my degree conferment ceremony. Held yesterday at the venue which sees my academic and fun times in my 2-year study period. Everyone was very excited about it, but I don't exactly felt it till I was waiting to receive my degree from the Chancellor. This would most probably be attributed to the long wait and that I have been working for months. Still, that place brings back loads of memories; the grand hall, canteen, lecture rooms and not forgetting, the council room. (:

It was a busy busy day, from having lunch at the usual canteen to wearing of gown, registration to the actual ceremony, all took at least half a day! But I knew all were worth the wait when I got my degree. Appreciate all friends who came by to congratulate and apart from my parents and sister, the next person who arrived with this bouquet puts the next smile on me. (:

Big thanks to my sister who was dragged to help me by being my photographer of the day and also to my dearest boyf who follows me closely to help me with things as I was busy taking photos with everyone that I knew.

Needless to say, my parents who took time off to attend an important milestone of mine, I guess they were happy but must have hidden their happiness pretty well (they are not known to show their emotions out explicitly).

And of course, my dearest sister, who had her fair share of taking individual photos with some of her seniors, was busy running around with me, taking photos, asking people to take photos with me. 2 more years, and it will be her turn to be in this graduation attire, by then, I should be her photographer of the day?

And to my dearest love, I know you had your minor restrictions at this point of time when the ceremony was held but thank you for putting them aside for the time being (at least a few hours) to see through the whole post-ceremony with me. I am really appreciative of it and big thanks for the lovely bouquet of champagne roses! I don't think I will give you these when it's your turn next year...

Yes, I am finally an official graduate with the official degree awarded to me in this folder. I think this ceremony would have brought all of us down the memory lane where we used to rush from one lecture to the other, doing booth duties after lectures, busy coordinating some council activities from time to time, squeezing with the crowd at the bus stop after lectures, especially in the evenings. So many memories over the last 2 years in school, and sometimes, I really miss school life, the type of carefree life that you need not worry about people to people relationships nor endless work that you have one after another. Assignments are fixed every semester and it's party time after exams...

Back to work tomorrow after 2 days of leave; expected piles of work to be done and before I know it, it's the weekends again, so thankful that it's the presidential election so no tuition class. And there is another public holiday next Tuesday, phew! Gonna catch up on sleep again! Oh, I just went for a run today, realised that I am getting out of shape and it's time to get back into shape. (: Till I update again...

It has been some time since...

2011-08-21T17:36:00.007+08:00

So sorry! It has been more than 2 weeks since my last post! Phew, time flies! 2 more days to my convocation (yes, finally after 9 months being away from school). And it's Day 21, this month is passing faster than I thought. Been meeting up with friends to catch up, and these sessions were really good! And with Nicole, it seems like it is a new thing that we will each bring home a piece of Polaroid after each meet up! (: Simply love her!

And with everything in place, and of course with Nicole's help, I am ready for convocation with a new top from Zara and a new pair of covered heels! Everything will go smooth that day, with my sister as my official photographer after I am done with the official ceremony!

At the same time, I am also ready for Raya visiting with the help of B, and we managed to catch 'Horrible Bosses' in town. It was a good laugh after all. Brown is the colour that we are looking at this year (although another black attire caught my eye in the midst of shopping). It's okay, as what my students tell me, there is no point getting expensive ones because I wouldn't get the chance to wear the same attire the following year. So that means black can be considered next year? *grins* Anyway, B and I have been doing good so far apart from the minor arguments that we share (common within couples), and thank god for the smooth progress between us and it's really attributed to the stable friendship that we had previously before we started dating...Things would most probably take another minor change when B steps out to the workforce next year but since we have been through it this year when I went to the workforce, we should do well next year for him. (:

Time for bed now anyway! Another working day tomorrow before 2 days of leave this week, got loads of emails to clear before I go on leave if not they would pile up...Hopefully I will have some time to post another entry after my convocation! (:

August brings on....

2011-08-02T16:51:00.003+08:00

It's another new month, yes August! And this brings on...my convocation finally! Confirmed my attendance and ordered my academic regalia! The ceremony date has been confirmed to be on 23 August 2011, Tuesday! I guess this is the moment that all of us have been waiting for, since the time we were done with our exams.

August this year also means it's the period of time where B will be preparing for his festive at the end of this month, Hari Raya Puasa. Nope, this isn't my first time going through this, just that I have not got used to it yet. But the fact that I have went through it once, it should be easier this time round. It's only Day 2, another 28 days to go. And B always have faith that I have no problems going through it, we will see. (:

Wonders what's with the recent 'weather' that everyone seems to be going through almost the same things? B and I had our fair share of arguments in the past 2 weeks, and of course that has made us stronger, deeper in love with each other. Perhaps that bad string of mood swings was the main culprit, but without that, we might not know so much things that we did not know previously. And for so much that we have been through, our love has exceeded what we might have originally expect, in the case that love really sees no boundaries, not even in our religions. People might tell me that this is just the initial stage, who knows what the future holds? True enough, but if we cannot even withstand what's here now, there is no future that we can talk about.

As much as he loves to irritate me, there are times where he can be utterly adorable too. Cast aside his VP position in council, and also his loud actions in school, he can be different too. (: If you ever ask me, what's about him that caught my eyes? I would tell you, it's everything of his; because I adore his perfects, and my love has covered his imperfects. Back to the same point, Simplicity is the key. (:

Another year older.

I know this post should have been in a few days ago, but work begins immediately after my birthday which explains the delay! But here it is! B rushed back from KL by Saturday night just to be in time to celebrate my birthday. So thankful that he is safe from the KL's riots. Phew.

Anyway, we started the day with a good brunch at Pizza Hut! Especially with the spicy drumlets! Off we go to our activity of the day; prawning! Something new for the both of us! 3 hours of prawning and we got ourselves 10 prawns! (: In line with my birth date! And they taste really good when you eat them fresh from the grill!

It was then time for our dinner! Decided to have it at Hotel Rendezvous after much consideration! International buffet was what we had; take your pick and enjoy! Ranging from fresh oysters to their famous laksa to prata, I should say it was a pretty good deal that POSB/DBS card members get 20% discount off the total bill. The usual was $49++ on weekends...

Now the most important part; the present. I guessed B must be perhaps cracking his brains when I told him the specific details. It was either this or that. But eventually B got me this during his KL trip! Pretty isn't it? (: Love it as I finally have a watch for casual attire! Yay!

Second birthday spent with B; different emotions. Definitely in love with each other much more after we had our second overseas trip recently! I know it must have been hard on him to make sure that everything moves smoothly, thanks baby, I appreciate it, really. We shall pamper ourselves much better next year when we have more financial capabilities. (: And it is really important that someone is always around, to be there for my ups and downs, in times of crisis, emotions will naturally show.

In all, it was a beautiful birthday spent this year with family and B. Their company is essentially crucial to me, even if they might not always be there. Another year older, more knowledge and experience, looking forward to another great year ahead. (:

July with loads of love.

2011-07-07T22:40:00.003+08:00

Time really flies with half of 2011 passing in a blink of an eye. Even though I have been in the workforce for 6 months, I am still missing the life of being a student! I have to admit that there are so many times that I wish I was still in school! The freedom of being one is something that you cannot exchange for anything else. On the other hand, being a working professional is not too bad either, just that there will be times that things do not go and move in the way as you like it. But like what many others will say; this is working life. (:

Turning 23 in another 3 days' time. Gonna to be another year older, new stage of life of being a working professional, brand new environment. Met new people, have new friendships; left footprints and memories at some places to continue my journey. I couldn't exactly remember what had happened last year when I was turning 22 then, but I know with every additional year, experiences, emotions, knowledge increase. At the very least, I knew last year at this same time, I had a big challenge in front of me. Over one year, many things have changed. There were so many times that I thought I wouldn't be able to hold on anymore, but thank god for him, I was always reminded that his love will last me through. While some others might be envious of us, but all these did not come easy, neither overnight, we spent loads of efforts, been through ups and downs to pull through it. And because of that, we get more emotionally bonded as time passes. And things are more positive these days too. (:

Now I look forward to my weekends and appreciate them more than ever! It is good if weekdays pass fast enough but weekends normally end before I could rest enough! Gonna try prawning this weekend as something new for B and I! Something new for my 23rd birthday (: Shall see how it goes! :D

Bangkok; here we go!

2011-06-21T17:33:00.006+08:00

Hello there! We just got back from BKK last night and boy it was a good holiday to ease off the stress we have in Singapore. At the same time, it was our anniversary trip! (:

Before this, some pictures from the actual day celebration (more can be found via my facebook). We basically went to the zoo! We couldn't think of any other places to go in Singapore, but the weather was rather kind to us so it wasn't so bad after all.

Alright, now back to BKK, we had an early check-in at 4:40am on Friday morning! Had breakfast at the budget terminal and we were on our way to board the plane to Thailand! We were picked up at the airport to Siam City Hotel. Immediate check-in of our room without any waiting, B and I had a good 2 hours nap because our flight was way too early! Headed to the famous MBK immediately after we woke up and shopping begins! (More for me technically i think)

Loots that we got for the trip! We did last minute shopping before our flight at night and they are not in this picture yet! I think it is pretty obvious that more than half of that portion belongs to me. And yes, Naraya bags are super addictive! I think I spent the most there! (:

We didn't take many photos this time while being abroad because most of the time were spent out; shop, eat, massage. We might not have gotten many shopping items this trip but definitely there were additional emotion bonds between both of us. We learn even more things about each other as compared to our Bintan trip as the itineraries were different in this case. With more shopping and movement, guys normally cannot take it but thank god that baby always gives in and knows what to do. At least for these 2 trips, I know I will be well-taken care of by him in any case. A big thank you baby, thank you for being there for me, to know what to do, and knows what's best for me.

Now that my holidays are over, I can't wait for the next to come! But I guess up next should my long-awaited convocation happening in August! That's the next official milestone for me, in terms of my education journey. Apart from this, I am also 2 weeks away from my confirmation for my job in NUH. Double happiness? (: Alright, shall rest early tonight since it's working day tomorrow, was washing all my new clothes and was busy uploading my photos. (:

It's our 1st (:

2011-06-16T19:46:00.003+08:00

12.06.11 It's our 1st anniversary! Planned a series of activities on the actual day and in less than 10 hours time, we are setting off for our anniversary trip! (: Words cannot describe how much we have waited for this trip but our love matters the most out of everything.

Headed off to the zoo which we finally decided to go since we started dating, the weather was perfect just that it is way too humid as the evening arrives! I will upload the photos once I am back from my trip (need some time to collate them in the midst of working). Made a reservation at Riders Cafe which food was good but we thought they were kind of overpriced. ): Dessert and movie were next in line for us before the day ends.

Well, it's our 2nd overseas trip together and this time, we are travelling by plane! Will be back on Monday night so see you people! (:

Changes.

2011-05-28T19:41:00.002+08:00

It's nearing the month of June! Unbelievable that I have worked for 5 months, been learning all things that are related to healthcare...At the same time, it has been a journey of teaching the kids at Learning Media. In no time, I will be done with my academic contract with the centre by end October. I was advised not to continue my contract so I will be switching it back to teaching replacement classes when necessary. (: As much I love teaching, but with a FT job, passion got to be placed aside for the time being. I know, all of you would tell me that I should have applied for NIE (and I will be enjoying school life!), but since decisions are made, I should not regret.

With this, B and I are nearing of 1st anniversary! and also our trip! Can't wait for it; mid June! That also means I am nearing my confirmation too! Haven't had time to update these days but been treating myself to some good food with the colleagues! Buffet at Swissotel Merchant Court, Fish soup at Alexandra Village, and more...So thankful that we are so determined to run once a week in preparation for our 5km marathon in July.

Gonna to catch Kung Fu Panda 2 tomorrow with B! And at the same time, it's results day next week for the students! Everything shall go well! Shall update again before my trip! (:

busy day with love!

2011-05-18T22:42:00.003+08:00

The long weekend was a good way to replenish my rest (in one way or another), and this means spending quality time with B! His exams just ended about one week or so, thus we decide to reward ourselves with a good meal! (: We begin the day with lunch at Kuishinbo! That's definitely a treat for the tummy isn't it?

Moving around Great World City and we land ourselves in the next stepping stone; Garrett's Popcorn! Their prices are definitely steep but they do not shortchange on your taste buds! Got Macadamia Nuts with Caramel Popcorn! They were great for after exercise snack! hehe!

We drove and made our way to ECP for our fitness day (which was long due) as B wanted to cycle (it has been a long time since I last did that too, because I am never good at it). Cycled for near 3 hours, our butts were all aching by the time we returned the bike! But nevertheless, it's technically our first exercise session!

Had dinner at Spize which their mushroom soup was superb! Followed by a movie at The Cathay. Guess that the night is over? Nope! B decided to drive me to Helix Bridge! Had been months since I wanted to go! That has really made me a happy girl. (:

I know that might have tire B out, like really really. But I really enjoyed myself, it kind of brings me back to school life where we are enjoying our school holidays, although I know I have been working for 4 months now. B is taking efforts to make sure that I forget about work temporarily and relax myself with him beside me. They always say pictures speak a thousand words; and there you go baby, you know how much you meant to me; the reason to make me continuing loving you. <3

RMIT DND 2011 plus a long weekend!

2011-05-14T23:28:00.006+08:00

Caution: it's photos-intensive!!

After much preparation, the night has arrived at Swissotel Merchant Court for a good gathering since most of us have graduated...Kudos to the planning team for the fantastic venue, food, program and of course, emcees and lucky draw prizes! :D Managed to catch up with some of them and wow, working and school life do make a great difference! At times, I would really love to be in school. Anyway, in case anyone of you are interested; my attire was custom-made to my measurements with courtesy from B's mummy. Toga-pants suit, no worries to bother about my hemline. Definitely comfortable for any occasions. Love it! (:

It was a simple programme to cater to our preferences to perhaps, catch up and chat with friends whom we have not seen for some time. If you ask me what's the best thing I have enjoyed within the dinner, my honest answer would be of that impromptu dance that Nicky decided to come up with as the band sings love songs. And on that, I see another side of B, the gentle and lovely sight of him. It's like falling in love with him all over again. Would you be this sweet 5 years down the road? As much as he always have his set of rules, but I know, because of love, he made some of them customised to me. (: The side that people do not get to see is the most treasured memory, I've lost track of how many I have seen in B but every scene remains clear in my memory with him.

Took time to clear up some of the photos that were unnecessary in my memory card since the time I got the camera. I know it should have been done long ago, but procrastination plus multiple events happening have caused me to only do it today. There was no pain in clearing them, no hesitation at all, what's not worth, does not require you to waste your effort to think twice.

Long weekend for me due to applied leave! Time for some good rest and some good activities soon! (:

lazy me.

2011-05-09T00:02:00.003+08:00

Yes yes I know, I have been way too lazy to update my blog for the past 2 weeks, but here it is! (: Don't ask me to update what happened last 2 weeks because I have no impression of them anymore. But I can update on what has happened just this week! Met up with my dearest whom I have been missing; Annice and the girls for dinner as well as some good beer at Brozeit! Loads of updates and endless laughters! Would be seeing my dear this Friday for our Dinner and Dance, it's finally here!

B is finally done with his exams on Friday too! Went in JB after we are done with our votes; for a good thai massage to ease our tensed muscles from work as well as studies! It was superb! (: Enjoyed ourselves with good food, good ice cream but traffic was really bad; we heard our election results via radio while travelling on the roads, how cool is that? (: It has been quite some time since we last travel into JB but it still feels the same especially with the company of my love.

At times, I guessed they will have to understand that as much as a relationship will eventually bring about the connection between 2 families, but they have to take into consideration of how these characteristics of this couple brings about the joy and laughter that they enjoy with each other. Different people brings about different surprises which it sometimes creates sparks or perhaps mess if not handled well. Isn't adaptation supposed to be something that the people living in this generation should be clear about? Staying strong is not easy when you have endless bullets hitting you in the only viable path that you are taking, especially when the bullets are within your reach. Sometimes I am really just disappointed on why they fail to understand on the better points over the negative. I can never understand why when my bf chooses to be himself without any form of hiding the truth; he gets criticised. Shouldn't it be good to know of such rather than later to find out any bad things if a future does lie in front of us? Things that I find out slowly after the break up a year ago makes me feel that he has been trying to hide what was his real identity all because he has to portray this image to my parents. Whatever it is, I'm determined to hold on and see how the future has planned out for us. Been through together for 11 months against all odds, I know we can do better. (:

Time for bed. Another short work week since D&D is on Friday. (:

new place, same habits

2011-04-25T00:53:00.003+08:00

As promised, picture(s) of my new place! Sorry, only the picture of my room as the rest of my place is still undergoing some form of unpacking! ((: But yes, I am loving this place for the fact that sis and I finally got our own room again! And the convenience to the MRT station and bus interchange!

Has been really short of time at work, being in the clinic can already take up half your working day! That would made me have less time to do up my admin work at my desk. ): More to be done this week; hopefully!

And yes, not forgetting to mention, all thanks to my dear Winda, she decided to let me be her 'first' customer to get this lovable piece for the upcoming wedding dinner that I got to attend this week! The material is really comfy and it is really fantastic with dual functions to it; a dress or a top! Her expected launch date is sometime end May, if you are interested in it; log on to http://www.challures.livejournal.com! And something to make you readers even more tempted, each piece is going at less than $30! Affordable and comfortable, why not? (: It comes in 4 colors but personally I got 2 colors for myself!

B, Jazreel and Nicole's exams are all around the corner, they are all busy mugging from what I know. Last weekend that I spent with B before he goes on 100% mugging mode for the next 10 days. And I just found out that B is a fan of ice popsicles! Nearly got them at a pasar malam near his place, but stall was closed already! ): Anyway, back to studies, final year modules are really not easy; that I have to admit. We will relax and enjoy after all your papers are done! (: B's on 6th May, Jazreel's on 3rd May and Nicole's on 4th (i think).

That's all for now! Time for bed as another work week begins after a long weekend! Looking forward to another long weekend this week! (:

Quick updates!

2011-04-19T22:45:00.002+08:00

Quick updates!! I know it has been some time since I last updated. It has been mostly work so far but I am so thankful for the weekend! Had an impromptu dinner with B for our 10th month despite having some bad things that happened during work that day. So glad that B could spare some time out to accompany me in the midst of his revision period.

And yes! I've moved to my new place! Pictures of my new place to be up in the next post, okay? Been too busy with the moving and my body is aching all over from the massive moving! But with our own room, my sister and I are enjoying the atmosphere of our new room. (:

Weekend was spent with B in the east! Decided to have meatballs to suit B so we had it at Tampines Ikea! It was a simple meal for the weekend, but to spend time in the east, it is really rare...

Movies weekend this week with B as it is a long weekend! Rio and Hall pass? (: Lots of things to do this week, more time management to be done as a form of reminder... Also, congrats to my dearest Nicole! You finally got your ideal BTO after so long and with this good number, I am sure you will get your ideal unit! (:

More to come!

events with my love.

2011-04-10T00:21:00.003+08:00

A quarter of the year has passed! Time really took small steps and we have travelled this far. And b is almost done with his fifth semester; keeping in mind that his exams are a month away. How I wish I was still mugging; but on that note, I am halfway through my probation period at NUH! Started to pick up medical lingos to use and my first notebook is almost full with various meeting notes!

Putting office work aside, it's updates of our last outing early this month! Caught the Kumar show at Zouk with compliments from NTUC Union, free admission, plus 1-for-1 drinks till 12 midnight! (: B and I left before midnight as we are not exactly in the mood to club; and we decide to venture to town to see what we can do to the start of our weekend. Cold Stone Creamery was our first stop! Decided to try our luck by joining the long queue and ta-dah! We got our ice cream cone within 20 minutes! ((: We were happy people, that's for sure! YUMS!

Decided to catch some midnight movie that we could get using the Cathay vouchers that B gotten from Kenneth; nearly caught 'Hop' but decided to abandon it as storyline was predictable. Caught 'Morning Glory' instead; and it was a not too bad movie after all. (:

I think been through the years as friends and months as a couple, I think B and I have grown to getting used to the habits, and to learn how to accommodate to each other's lifestyle. As much as many people will say that such things are really easy to say, but to really do it is another thing. Trust is the next thing that many couples face in the midst of a relationship. The moment you decide to doubt what your partner has done, you will always doubt about something the next time when something else happens. I cannot say that there is always 100% trust in our relationship because we are humans after all, but I can definitely say that I trust my partner more than how much other girls can to their boyfriends. At the same time, I should say, it's because B has reduced the number of times he decide to head to clubs, stay out late, etc...He has played his part too. Seriously at times, despite he can be really irritating, I am really thankful that he has decided to take part in the activities happening in my life.

Time for bed! Got to start moving things off to the new place, moving in less than 2 weeks time! Yay! (:

with loves; and yes its a new month!

2011-04-02T23:10:00.002+08:00

Yes, I haven't been able to update for 2 weeks, so here I am now! I am not going to update all at one go, shall separate into 2 different posts (if I can find time to update a subsequent one).

Met up with Nicole last Thursday after postponing our date since the time I was sick and that we had no time to meet. Met at Far East Plaza where I got a lovely dress at $25 and yet she could resist not getting any! Was supposed to spend more time with her but she needs to meet up with Mr R.Law...So we parted ways and I was on my way to meet B at Substation.

Fantastic meet up with crucial updates needed to each other for now! Now I can't wait for this month's meet up as she will be helping me in my D&D attire mix and match! (:

Last Sunday was JB with B! Managed to settle part of my new house matters and head to meet B to pamper ourselves in JB! Yep, all of you must have missed A&W by miles! And we shared one big root beer float! Yums!!

And also stingray at our usual place, before we rush out of JB due to urgent matters. What a way to spoil the weekend. But it doesn't matter, we are counting down to 2 months before we are heading to BKK!

Also, thanks to B's mummy and sister! My first and only toga jumper suit in navy! How does it look? Feels comfy in this suit, can be used for almost all occasions I guess? ((:

Was out with B at Zouk last night for an event hosted by NTUC, shall update more on that in my next post along with some good Cold Stone Creamery! :D

what a "student" weekend (:

2011-03-21T22:27:00.007+08:00

It has been a hectic week since my manager went on leave; now I know it is not easy handling all the inpatient matters, not forgetting that I had help from my other colleagues. But nevertheless, the week has passed! Yay! However, this would mean that there is another week of such as my manager is on 2 weeks leave! Just today is a good example; sat at my desk for less than 2 hours, from official opening of CREST to meeting then to lunch and ward rounds. Arranging for endless meetings this Wednesday kind of freaked me out as well. ): I am so looking forward to this weekend (:

Decided to bring b to try this Japanese restaurant 2 weeks ago under the recommendation of a colleague and boy, the sashimi was super thick and fresh! Now I guess things might be different with the situation in Japan right now. But it was a good deal of $33++ per pax for dinner, anyone with UOB credit card, it's 25% off for lunch! It's at Level 3 of Riverview Hotel, by the way.

Weekend was considered superb I should say! As usual, I was done with tuition at 5pm and head to meet b for a good weekend outing after so long, and ta-dah! We decided to head town! (Erm, we hardly decide to go town because it is forever crowded) That's not the point in any case. So we wanted to catch a movie since the last time we did that was like weeks ago? Decided on Rango at The Cathay and off we went for dinner! Wanted to have Astons but the queue was crazy! B suggested walking over to Bugis area to have Astons Express but some other things caught our eye!

Yep, we had dinner at Kichn instead! They never fail to disappoint us in any case! Fulfilling dinner and we realised it was still way too early for the movie. Headed over to OC by public transport *winks* wanted to try Cold Stone Creamery but the queue is again LONG! So B and I have decided that we will have it one of these afternoons where I claim my off-in-lieu hours. (:

And what's more on Sunday? I was back in school helping B with his DC project! This then really brought me back to those mugging times and rushing projects period. But at least I did manage to help him! (:

I know only Monday has passed but I can't wait for the end of Friday and not forgetting Thursday where I am meeting Nicole for dinner! Yes after so long, both of us have been busy with our own area of work...till then, ((:

a bit of everything.

2011-03-13T23:28:00.004+08:00

It became a shorter work week for me as Monday was home rest day aka MC! I was feeling very bad, thus decided to see a doctor and not spread the virus within the office. And piles of work came in the next day (along with other negative things too), and I am still in the midst of clearing them ):

But nevertheless, weekends are always fun! Met up with loves on Friday night at 313! Had dinner at Marche followed by drinks at Brozeit! And yes, you got it right, chilling out on a Friday night starts the weekend right...

At the same time, met up with b for 2 straight days as he managed to finish up his SM 2 days before submission. (: Decided to have dinner at one of the Japanese restaurants recommended by my colleague which serves decent Jap food at an affordable price at Riverview Hotel. I guessed B had his fair share of sashimi free flow... And with no surprises, he missed his coke float at Wendy's.

Decided to try my luck in asking him to take photos (because he doesn't entertain photos anyhow!). And I should say I am pretty lucky because he decided to take photos! Rare opportunities! (:

At the same time, it is also the weekend that I was looking forward to because B will meet up with my external family. Been looking forward to it positively and so glad that it turned out fine; just that B wasn't very vocal during the meet because it was a birthday party instead of a family dinner. But definitely he communicated more with my parents which I was grinning inside because this means our small steps are taken effect (: and back to my initial stand, all we needed was just more time to prove that our relationship works. And on a side note, it's happy 9th (:

Alright, it's time for bed, busy Monday ahead for me ):

this week with love.

2011-03-06T22:15:00.003+08:00

What a bad week till today, been sick since Thursday till now, so glad that it is getting better but it is no where exactly near full recovery yet. ):

At least it was a fulfilling week in any case. Met up with Annice on Wednesday for a good catch up over dinner and coffee! (: B came over to pick me up so as to catch up with her since they haven't met in a long while too... Indeed, work has made us look kind of tired no matter how happy we are after work hours.

Supposed to meet up with Nicole on Friday for dinner, but so sorry my dear, I was way too sick to head out and even left my office earlier to head home to rest. Down with meds and water, and KO for a good straight 6 hours. Forced myself to recover well just to be able to teach tuition yesterday; but the kids seemed to be a little out of hands after a week of me not being there. Hopefully things get better next week.

Was supposed to meet B yesterday as offered, but he was down with doing his project instead till early morning. Decided to meet up to have Sunday brunch at Thomson Prata today! And yes, he would have said that this is how much he loves me. Well, it is true, on the fact that he would love to sleep his Sunday mornings and start his activities only in the early afternoon. (: loves!

Time to head to bed! Another long day at work tomorrow, as well as a long week! So many things to do, so little time! ): Oh, did I mention, B got his iphone too? He replies twice as fast as compared previously! Update soon!

our anniversary trip (:

2011-02-27T23:50:00.002+08:00

Yes, it's Sunday once again...how I dread knowing that it's Sunday night just as I thought that weekends just started not too long ago? ): But at least there was something done this weekend that it is worth being happy about. (:

Been trying to balance on a constant workload coming in after working for 2 months, definitely got better with those medical terms as time goes. :D

Saturday; NUHS USC Teambuilding. Finally one baby project down, all thanks to everyone's help, there was a fairly high participation rate. (: Went over to the other end of Sentosa to meet Jaz as well as the rest of the council members as teambuilding was held near Palawan Beach. Catching up with the juniors really brought me back to the old times of council. Random but I am missing school for just this short while.

Sunday; was supposed to be our keep-fit day. Planned to head to ECP for cycling after our intended trip to the NATAS travel fair, but none of the deals were good, so we rushed down to people's park centre to book the tickets for our 1st anniversary trip; which was to BKK. That was when we knew that cycling got to be postponed to the following week, since the trip is now confirmed to be from 17 June to 20 June. (:

Hopefully this week is going to be good; dinner with Annice on Wednesday, dinner with Nicole on Friday. What a week for good catch ups, totally looking forward to it! (: Start to feel tired after having done with so many activities today, time for bed! :D

our first vday

2011-02-20T14:47:00.004+08:00

Time sure pass fast enough; it's Sunday again! At times, it is seriously hard to track how weekdays can pass by at such a speed and how weekends end like lightning. ): and that's partially because I work half a Saturday away too. B was like complaining while we were out yesterday that I shouldn't be working on Saturday but I am kind of enjoying the time I spent teaching my kids at the tuition centre. That might sound a bit crazy; who wants to work more than just 5 days a week when weekdays' work is already hectic?

Nevertheless, b and I spent our Saturday after my tuition to celebrate our first vday together since he was just done with his assignment rush on Friday. It was a very simple celebration; nothing fanciful, nothing extravagant. Dinner at Astons, caught "No Strings Attached" at our usual favourite cinema, chill out the night with a drink before we head home to rest. The most expensive would most probably be our present to each other. Fossil couple watch. ((:

Decided to wore it since we are out celebrating vday which in our impression, our anniversary, birthdays would have been of more importance. But on this vday, there were no cards, flowers, just each other's company with love. (: Despite having a boyfriend who loves to irritate me 80% of the time, but there is no denial that when it comes to romance and impromptu surprises, he always have his ways. Just like he never fails to remind me how much our love has been this far :D thank you baby!

Got to go for my facial appointment now! Shall update soon! (:

terms and conditions apply.

2011-02-13T16:37:00.003+08:00

Once again, it's another bright sunny Sunday afternoon, but it is not that sunny and positive in my little home. work has been hectic especially after the long CNY break, and there are more to come in this coming week. But I have slowly got used to it being that working in a hospital often is unpredictable, and workload increases unknowingly. (:

Oh, and yes I remember from the previous post that I was supposed to continue on what b and I talked about previously. b termed every relationship as a contract; there is no specific duration but there are terms and conditions attached to it which are different in every contract. thus by getting into one means that it is presumed that you have read the 'terms and conditions'; and this would mean that accepting the strengths and flaws of that person. So, by right, there shouldn't be any complaints after being in a relationship. Always remember that terms and conditions apply.

Vday is just tomorrow. B and I have postponed our celebrations till this coming weekend due to his assignment deadlines! Just as good, we need not rush ourselves with the crowd. (: And we have decided on our 1st vday present, will be getting it together on that day itself.

Sometimes all I wanted was some form of peace during the weekends that I am at home. But normally that's not what you get. Those weekends that I am out, home is always peaceful but then when it comes to me staying at home, something bad will always happen. Such situation happened today; and b caught me at the wrong time. And because of this, he didn't go for the drinking session at one of the guys' place. Kinda felt guilty about it; but at least I know I definitely mean something to him. :D

Alright, it's time for bed, another busy week starts again! (:

CNY this year seems kind of different...

2011-02-06T23:17:00.002+08:00

The long weekend is OVER! As much as I dislike this fact, but it's back to the working life for the month of February. I'm so glad that it is a short month, but that is the only short month of the whole year. ): The mood of this CNY is not strong as compared to other years, maybe because work has came into the usual routine and we are not at our new place yet.

Two days of visiting always allow all of us to dress ourselves up in nice clothes to head out for some receiving of red packets. (: Managed to survive through with dresses from Winda's blogshop. Perhaps as we grow older, we tend to find it hard to survive at the same place during CNY and especially when everyone is growing older as well, bringing along their partners to such gatherings. It wasn't convenient to bring B along this year, but I'm pretty sure he is kind of ready next year for some form of socialising. (:

The weekend is most probably the best part of this holiday where I spent my Saturday with B in JB with the food and shopping and having a laze at home Sunday before work routine starts all over again tomorrow. (: And we were having, as usual, our small chats while waiting for the car to be washed, and this time we were talking about relationships in general. Then we realised, a relationship will really bring out the child in you, and that's because he/she is our partner, it's only right that he/she knows everything of you, mature or immature, we take it all. (: and most probably he/she is the only person that will catch you doing some immature actions that it has never been showcased before. Isn't that interesting? (:

Shall share abit more the next time when I type an entry again! Time for bed now, got to be up early tomorrow! No more lazing in bed ): Alright, for those who are school-ing, time to get back to assignments, and for us, working people, got to learn how to enjoy work in the midst of festive seasons...

END of the month...

2011-01-30T21:55:00.002+08:00

The month of February is nearing! This means several things;

1. It is going to be a short month
2. At least there is a long weekend due to CNY
3. Valentine's day is happening soon
4. I have worked for a month already!

Pretty significant isn't it? This shows how has time really flies and things can change at every single minute.

Attended initiation in the position of a graduate yesterday held at Pasir Ris Home Team NS. Saw many new faces but of course I miss the other seniors whom I have not met for a month? This is how bad when work comes in place, and it makes you miss school really badly. Photos not up yet, hopefully there will be a few with me inside? (:

Ohhh, and that's the photo taken at my colleague's daughter birthday party! Don't the baby look so adorable? (:

Finally done with my CNY clothes! All done with the help of Winda's blogshop! Big thanks dear!! (: Will showcase them when CNY happens in 4 days time! (:

Alright, enough of updates for now, time for bed! Goodnights!

NEARING end of the month.

2011-01-23T22:41:00.006+08:00

Now I think I can only post an entry once a week since I am working 6 days a week. Weekends always pass much faster than I thought, and weekdays come along which last for 5 straight days! ):

Well, but at least it was a fruitful Sunday today! Make CNY goodies, simple and good! My all-time favourite, honey cornflakes and at the same time, my oatmeal chocolate chip cookies! But they were not as satisfactory as my usual standards, maybe the change of oven really affects ): But it's okay! Look how pretty my honey cornflakes are!

Attended Megen's 4th birthday party with B yesterday! A small party by Sharon (my colleague) for her daughter, and well, it was a good chance for B to meet the rest of my colleagues. (: Next up, Family Day next month ((:

Before any of that, it's initiation this coming weekend, followed by CNY! I miss school life but I think I miss council events even more! Workload is piling up, but I am glad that I still have time to drop by such events!

Just a short entry to update for the time being...and oh did I mention? Shopping loots from Winda's blog shop should be arriving soon I guess? Looking forward to receiving them! Yay! But now, it's time for bed (:

tired mind.soul.

2011-01-16T00:30:00.006+08:00

Been working for 2 weeks now, and really; operations and admin is an aspect that is not easy to tackle! Lots of things to learn especially in the healthcare industry! Technically I only have Sundays to rest and ta-dah ~ Monday comes along without me knowing. Not that I don't look forward to work, but there are just too many things to learn right now, so much that I want more rest time for my mind to rest. Mentor is giving me 6 months to grasp the basics of almost everything.

Enough of work for the time being. Let's talk about something that will never fail to make me happy. B and I celebrated our 7th month recently and I thought I would have to think of the dinner place after a day of hectic work...But I didn't have to! B picked me up from work and drove to the place he had in mind! Yay! Had a simple dinner at Colbar near Buona Vista and the old school atmosphere was superb! Thanks B, loves!!

Met up with the girls finally on Friday night after work which JH and I were late! Sorry! But having to not been able to meet for the past 6 months, the girls are still doing good! (: The only difference is perhaps the fact that I have graduated. We met up at one of our usual places, PS and we will always have a topic to laugh till our tummies ache. Now that I wonder why. hehe!

Gonna to spend another fantastic weekend with B later! Hopefully work can be well spread this coming week as I can sense how weak my body is right now while typing this...But nevertheless, it's bedtime now! (:

I want time to stop temporarily...

2011-01-10T23:17:00.003+08:00

Second week of work and everything starts to fall in place...with several projects coming in placed under my charge...but at times, how I wished that time stops temporarily in my final semester...back to the time where I was having fun at council events, busy mugging with b, etc...Now thinking back about school life brings back good memories (there are definitely bad ones, but who bothers?) As much as work is not treating me badly, but I guess it takes time for me to adapt working in such a big organisation...The picture below is the view I get from my office's pantry, not too bad isn't it?

As much as I had 6 working days last week (as in my Saturday was from 8am to 5pm), I managed to spend a fulfilling Sunday with b yesterday, by heading into JB to do our shopping! And we had dinner with his parents too! That got me nervous for a while but b's parents were very nice and they were lovely! Gonna to spend another good weekend with b this week again! (:

And time really pass; it's gonna to be happy 7th soon for us! Hopefully workload doesn't get too heavy as time goes so that we can still maintain meeting at least twice a week? Currently we are meeting more than twice a week, haha!

Body clock has kind of adjusted back to sleeping around 12 midnight these days; which is really good for me since I need to be awake at 6 plus to get ready for work. Talking about this, it's time for bed now. Update soon! (:

Hello, Society.

2011-01-05T22:41:00.003+08:00

Done with the first 3 days of orientation and it's going to be my 1st official day at work tomorrow! The orientation should have helped me in one way or another to adapt into the environment i guess? ((: And I think I wouldn't eat at any Kopitiam outside my workplace unless necessary...hehe!

And I am really missing school life now! Missing the 3 hours lecture each school day, time spent in council room playing monopoly deal, having long lunches with friends, etc...But being positive about work will make time pass faster and also make my day better... (:

I was just telling Denise, Rose and Wendy (my new friends) that I wanna to go on a holiday and they were all telling me off that it's not right to think of a holiday now...hahas! Ohwell, the holiday will come in June with B's company, that I promise myself.

Okay, time for bed now, work starts at 830am tomorrow. Goodnight.

Expectations.

2011-01-02T21:49:00.003+08:00

Finally we are here in the year of 2011! While everyone around me is preparing for school tomorrow, some of us are preparing ourselves for the first day of work. And now I really miss school life )): And in less than a month's time, we are gonna to have our next long weekend, CNY! I bet all these long weekends are those periods that working professionals are looking forward to.

First day of work tomorrow! Excited yet nervous! Hopefully I will be able to adapt myself to the fast paced working environment just like how I tackle those tight dateline assignments. (: At the same time, with all the encouragements, it wouldn't deter me from all the workload that I will be facing...I am going to be like a new student tomorrow, attending orientation in a new environment, that will bring me back to 2 years ago when I first attended RMIT's orientation. Now it really brings back good memories. ((:

Okay! It's time for bed now, got to wake up at 6 plus to prepare myself for morning peak hours transport. Will update soon! (:

new year resolution

2010-12-31T00:24:00.004+08:00

It's the last day of 2010! And we have reached this time where people normally make their new year resolutions. So I guessed it's time for me to make mine too?

But before that, Orientation 2010/2011 was just over! My last orientation before I step out to the society! Had an overdose of sleep today! Guess too much of sleep sometimes kills. And I need to tune my body clock fast; to report work at 830am everyday is gonna to be a challenge for the first few days. Wish me luck! (:

Decided to try something new for the new year party at Aunt's place tomorrow night. Crepe cake! Looks pretty right? But hopefully everything turns out fine tomorrow!

New Year resolutions. Every year when I reach this post to churn out some resolutions for the new year, it's always good results for studies, etc...but this year, no more praying of good results as I am temporarily done with studies (as in not going on to Masters yet) and stepping into the workforce.

So here it goes; some simple ones...
1. Good health for all and be blessed.
2. To adapt well in the new working environment and be able to learn things fast.
3. To be able to save up some good money for travelling and others.
4. Be able to pamper myself at times with good things outside work.
5. Hoping for some luck to change certain things and thinking.
6. To cherish the love that we had and were given which it has grown more with time.

There is something to look forward to every single day, it's just a matter whether you took effort to spot it, it can be the same, it can be different, no one can guarantee. Sometimes as long as you are happy, you don't exactly need to bother about how others feel and look at it. But this is life, the reality at times brings you back and you simply dislike it. Learn to live with it with a smile, it will make your day happier each time. (:

Thus, happy new year to all and welcome the new 2011 in less than 24 hours time! (:

The Christmas Present that came early this year.

2010-12-23T14:42:00.002+08:00

Realised that I haven't blogged for a week! Phew! That's quite some time isn't it? The month of December has been pretty good to me, hope this goodness continues in the coming year of 2011. ((: The season of giving is here again; and I've received my first present this year! Letter of Appointment from NUH! Thank god for anyone who have assisted and landed me in this position. Workload and work stress are going to be huge but give me time to adapt, so now it's my turn to say; Hello, Society.

I will start work the same time as when the new school semester starts for many of you. Excited yet nervous. Left with around 10 days to enjoy before work starts officially. Gonna to spend it with b most of the days before we see less of each other due to school, council and work. Hope our base is strong enough to withstand everything else even though we have only been through together for 6 months. I have the faith that we will, so I will hang in there. I know you will too, b. (:

b came by to pick me up on my last day of work at the cruise centre, so sweet of him when he could rest at home...guessed our bintan trip did help to make us got used to having each other around. (: Christmas is just around the corner, gonna to spend it with b and also with the family next week after helping out in this coming semester's orientation. Wonder what presents will I get this year...

Okay, shall try b to 'feature' in some photos of mine in this christmas season...he always say that he is camera shy...hehe! meanwhile, enjoy Christmas and I'll try to update soon! (:

It must have been....

2010-12-15T22:40:00.003+08:00

Hello there! Haven't been updating these days, was busy with several events but here I am now, updating what has happened so far!

It was work at Habourfront last Friday with Royal Caribbean and work was not too taxing thus things were good! (: Saturday was tuition day where my period cramps nearly killed me while I was on the way there. Thank goodness for b to pick me up after my 4 hours of lessons ended (usually it takes quite a while to persuade him to do so).

Sunday was happy 6th for us; but we attended one of his secondary school friend's wedding before we head off for our plans for the day! Was supposed to go through the customs to head to JB but traffic was not too pleasing. Thus my dearest b suggested NEX! Big as what others have raved about, but the shops were not as fantastic as they were supposed to be (other than a proper branch of Broasters which made b pretty happy). Maybe because it is recently opened, which explains the huge crowd and it didn't made us comfortable. On top of that, the reception was really poor! I couldn't use my 3G in the mall! ): b promised that the JB trip would be soon, once he decided to stop working and rest for the next few days before school reopens...

Monday was the long awaited SR Xmas dinner at Manhattan! Overwhelming response from seniors, SR-ians and Excos! The Xmas exchange of gifts were interesting too! ((:

And the best news I have received this week is the phone call to go for an interview tomorrow! Shall not reveal exactly what it is till I really get this job! Whee!! Excited yet nervous!

Alright, this shall be it till now, will update again, work, tuition and wedding dinner fill the remaining days of the week! (:

Random Food for Thought

2010-12-09T18:18:00.005+08:00

Finally done with application to graduate after much procrastination! This is the bad thing about the holiday period, you will take super long to finally get done with something minor. Managed to get the Christmas dinner exchange gift for Monday after heading town yesterday; and it's another working day tomorrow.

There are never-ending lessons to be learnt in life. Some people learn and grow with it, some people learn and hope to get out of it. Some lessons make us stronger, some are just there to deter us from growing.

My education journey has marked its end on the day when my results showed that I passed all my modules. Suddenly I miss school life, as much as there are always some people who will mess up the lovely school life, but if I had a choice, I want my education journey to be longer. It's a funny logic where we wanted our school life to be shorter when we were younger and now to extend it when we are now older. This is perhaps what we call, people do grow.

Stepping into the real world is a scary thought, I don't know what is out there for me to anticipate for and everything falls back to zero. More time management skills to tackle, in terms of family, work and love. I got to get used to seeing b less often because of me working full time and also him being involved in more work in school apart from academic. I got to start drawing up some plans to save part of my salary for the future and at the same time, spare an amount out for parents. All these will start once I land myself in a full time job (hopefully by next month).

As girls grow older, I think the lessons we learnt start to focus on the major parts rather than the nitty gritty things...which I wonder if it's a good thing. Maybe it is, in one way or another. (:

Yayyy!

2010-12-05T22:15:00.003+08:00

This entry should have been here a few days ago, but well, wanted to settle down here and there before I type a proper entry for this...

BUT NOW, I AM AN OFFICIAL GRADUATE! Yes indeed, no words can describe how I felt when I first saw my results on Thursday morning, but thank god for the unexpected results in my final semester! ((: and just as when I wanted to apply to graduate, the RMIT system has to be down...shall do it within this week!

Tuition classes started yesterday as a brand new academic year! Taking Primary 4 English and Maths this year! The kids have yet to turn monsters yet, hopefully they will remain to be good like what they were yesterday.... So now, I can only meet b after 5pm every Saturday if we do have intention to get out, unless it is a public holiday...

Job search has not been too successful, wonder if its the year end period where no employment opportunities are being offered. But all thanks to my nice uncle, it sped up the process, and now I should stand a chance to get recruited to an organisation somewhere not too far from home and it will be somewhere where b will be willing to pick me up from work next time! hehe! *hopefully I will hear good news real soon!*

Alright, another working day at the cruise centre tomorrow! Shall update when I have other things to tell! (:

finally...the final month of 2010

2010-12-01T17:51:00.003+08:00

It's the last month for the year 2010. I used to look forward to the month of December; well I still look forward to it now. Just that circumstances are totally different as compared to the past. Now for the final month of the year, what I can look forward to is holidays! (: I know I just came back from Bintan and might not have the means for another holiday soon, but that doesn't mean I cannot plan for it in advance...

Just submitted another resume with the help of Nicole, hopefully they have vacancies for me to start work in January 2011? *prays hard* Will send another resume out to another organisation tomorrow after the release of results. Not that I am confident but I don't think I have done too badly to not pass the modules unless the markers decide to be anal about it. ): Will believe in the faith that I will pass all my modules, no point worrying about it, God has been very kind to me each semester, so for the last time, I think he will help me. (:

Has been working for some school tours as well as for Royal Caribbean with other SIM people! Hopefully I can get some time off to plan some picnic or money-free activities with b in the month of December! He will be starting school in another month's time! But exco meetings are taking up some of his time this month too! ):

Oh and did I mention? It was a fantastic meet up with Pris and Moses last night! Gonna catch up with them again in 2 weeks time? Alright, another less than 24 hours to go to the release of results. So not looking forward to it, but yet I want to announce that I have graduated, so...

the start of a new month means...

2010-11-28T22:21:00.002+08:00

Results are going to be released in 4 days' time...Feeling excited yet worried for one of the modules...The coming week is going to be hectic as jobs are lined up except for my results release day. ):

The appointments for this week are pretty packed too; with dinner on tuesday with pris and moses, followed by OGL briefing on thursday which is also coincidentally the same day as the results day.

Been on the search for full time jobs too, but sometimes, I really thought that NIE is not a bad choice after all. (: But to study all over again, can I take it any further? In one way or another, teaching has all along been a passion of mine to interact with kids, younger kids. (: Ohwells, I have another month to seriously consider about it.

Got to wake up early in the morning for work tomorrow at Sentosa! Its gonna to be my first time at USS! Shall update again! (:

Back From Bintan with LOVE! (:

2010-11-24T23:16:00.009+08:00

HELLO!! I'm back from Bintan! And now I miss Bintan already!! Thanks to b's brother; we got ourselves pampered at Angsana Resort at Bintan!! Fantastic company with beautiful scenery; how can I not miss it when I'm back in Singapore?

This short getaway has definitely made us understand each other better in terms of our usual routines like sleeping and waking up habits, as well as travelling habits as well...Definitely this trip has brought us a level higher, emotionally. ((:

First day at Bintan; checked in to the hotel room and we got a superb view of the beach area! and also booked our session for massages the next day! visited their little shopping and eating district area, Pasar Oleh Oleh...b and i found other favours of Hello Panda! hehe!

Second day was packed to the brim! Buffet breakfast followed by going for a swim before we take our time to tan at the beach...Massage session was in the late afternoon and had simple dinner thereafter...Night stroll by the beach was good! But b's tummy just got to upset him for the night (yea, what a bad timing to spoil the holiday...) Some pictures to share...

The holiday getaway was simply lovely with b! We are starting to think of destinations to go but we need to earn more money first!! ((: Managed to have a short htht in the midst of our trip which this will greatly improve our relationship as it is approaching its 6th month...Looking forward to more trips b! Love you!

Anyway, rest day tomorrow and it's another working day on Friday! Thanks to Willie...and also the following Monday at Sentosa with Queeny, Ali and Bren! (: Got to rest well before hectic work schedules fill my time slots when I'm back in Singapore. Goodnight all!

looking forward....

2010-11-18T22:49:00.004+08:00

The week started with a bang with AGM! Seeing all my seniors taking their testimonials in the previous few AGMs, it didn't occur to me that a draft of my speech should be done up before I head down to take my testimonial from Kerk! And my mind was in a blank state when it was my turn! 2 years in council has been a very smooth journey, met close friends, good friends and eventually my current boyfriend (: And now I really miss school life (exclude exams please)

Anyway, my silly boy decided to drop me a surprise at my doorstep tonight! ((: he brought the long-awaited krispy creme doughnuts over (got to microwave them for consumption), and on top of that, a teddy bear! As much as I am not a fan of teddy bears, and knowing that the origin of this wasn't exactly for me, but as a girl, naturally you are happy seeing it isn't it? Well, I was elated seeing them upon opening my door, and naturally I found it weird when he has to double confirm my address... (:

But well, my boyfriend is not the most romantic guy that I have known so I am always grateful that he takes effort to make sure that I get my surprises once in a while... *smiles*

I used to compare why my friends' boyfriends can do this and that and why can't my boyfriend do that too? But slowly as I grow older and get more exposure to the aspect of relationships, I start to realise that everything is different for everyone. I used to look at my relationship in a perspective that each party should do something to enhance the relationship once in a while; take note of monthly-versaries... but in this relationship, b has taught me the notion that relationships should be simple, in order to be happy. Having less stress in a relationship will make us think lesser and love each other more without any hesitations; as much as we got a bigger obstacle to cross in front of us, but who knows what the future holds? Be happy now rather than thinking of all the unhappy things to make ourselves unhappy. (: I know not everyone is agreeable to my current boyfriend but bearing in mind that everyone of us caters to a different type of lover. Keep it simple, be happy; that's the most important takeaway.

Alright, it's time for bed, got to wake up at 5am tomorrow for work! Last working day before Bintan trip! Yay!! (:

Busy fun-filled week!

2010-11-13T21:39:00.005+08:00

Just realised that I haven't been updating for a week! Been busy with work and play for the whole week! Let me slowly go through them here...

9 Nov: First school tour done with Bukit Panjang Primary to Kampong Glam...It has been years since I last went there! There isn't many changes but I realised my guide then did not exactly do a good job, thus it's like a refresher course for me! (: And don't the bears look super cute?

10 - 11 Nov: Post Exam gathering at Changi Fairy Point! It's definitely a success with more people attending it at the end of the day! Kudos to the planning team! Pictures are with Yingxiu so can't upload any now...

12 Nov: Second school tour with Peiying Primary where amazing race was done along Singapore River! Weather was a killer but luckily it's only halfday!

Met up with Annice dear for dinner at Kichn! Surprises followed one after another! Good catch up, could have been longer if not because I had to work this morning! More to come! ((:

Today: Work commenced at 7am in the morning at Habourfront; Singapore Cruise Centre, thanks to Queenie for all these job lobangs! And big thank you to mummy for sending and picking me up from work today! (:

Been lacking of sleep for the whole week but it has been a fun-filled week with activities and work! Now I will be looking forward to the Bintan trip with b! (: And time flies, 5 months with b yesterday! It seemed like we have dated for a long time...and it seems like everyone will ask about the cultural differences. Sometimes it's not because we don't want to answer it, but this problem cannot be resolved at this juncture now anyway even though it is constantly at the back of our minds even before we started. I don't want to lose such an awesome guy like him because of this cultural difference and tell myself that I regretted because I didn't take the chance to make the relationship work. It is always said that someone's loss is another's gain. I might not really exactly know why I lost previously even though I have heard the reasons somewhere, but I know b and I have gained each other in the midst of this process. My parents cannot understand why is it him out instead of anyone; but words cannot explain it because they will never get it. Just hope they gradually accept it as time goes. (: b used to give me this feeling that he wasn't ready for commitment of relationship when I first knew him, but apparently as the years pass, he is really ready to settle down to commit himself to a serious dating relationship, perhaps is because of age as well as other factors too. We are no different from other couples no matter how others might have perceived us to be. :D

Annice dear posted me a question yesterday when we met up dinner; she asked if I am happier now as compared to before. It wasn't hard to answer this question; because situations are different then and now. I would definitely be happier now because I know both parties are putting in equal effort to keep the relationship rather than then when I had to be the one putting in more. And perhaps due to the difference in age gap, our thinking tends to be in line and we prefer to keep things much simpler. So yes dear, you know my answer and I know you are happy for me. (:

I guess I should rest early tonight since I woke up at 5am for work today. Shall update once more before I head for Bintan the following week? Till then, take care!

Perfect Saturday! (:

2010-11-06T00:38:00.002+08:00

What a nice Saturday that b has given me; it's called Baby's day today! This means that I take the priority above all decisions today, hehe! Has been a hectic Saturday in the morning with work briefing at Asian Civilisation Museum which we took the wrong route from the start, good morning exercise I should say! (:

With Jazreel leaving to meet her friend, I waited a while before b arrives to have our lunch at Popeyes! Still, AMK's branch wins in terms of quality of their chicken (: b decides to try out Gong Cha which the media raves about as compared to KOI but our final verdict is still.....KOI taste much much better (:

Caught 'Social Network' after that, which I got to say, it was an awesome movie, kudos to Mark who developed Facebook along with his team. So now, who came up with Twitter? *grins*

Dinner at Yoshinoya, you all would not believe that this is the first time of my life that I tried it, and it was not too bad...ending it off with soya beancurd at Selegie, was walking in the rain with b, it's hard to capture such moments when he usually drives (: Eventual stop was at Ion Orchard as the car was parked somewhere there. b managed to get something for himself and he was super satisfied with it! That's my silly boy (:

It was a hectic yet blissful Saturday, it has been a long time since we last had such an outing! More of such okay b? We didn't spend alot today too...

Another eventful week awaits me! Totally looking forward to it! (:

What's next?

2010-11-03T22:06:00.004+08:00

First free day after last paper was completed yesterday! Slept till 130pm this afternoon! Sleep is gonna get replenished within these few days! Managed to grab some part time jobs with Queenie's help, working on certain days next week! Decided to make an impromptu visit to the library to pick up the habit of reading again...and while helping mummy to get her lottery numbers, I decided to use $2 to buy a piece of 'Scratch it'! Been known for not much luck, I actually won $10! hehe!

Long weekend for all who are working, another day of work! Can't wait the weekend to come! Cos it would mean that b is done with his exams too! (: Guess it's time for a date this weekend, like finally! But I bet he will enjoy it like crazy tomorrow after his paper with the boys!

Came across something when I was randomly blog hopping. Found this pretty true, which I guess many girls can relate themselves in this position, guys normally find it extremely hard to understand why their girlfriends are always doing the same old things, but take a few moments to think through, is it because they really had time in their hands or is it because they had love in their hearts? Very often, we always look at it in one party's perspective and neglect the other which this always leads to bias-ness of the issue.

I'm pretty sure that many girls will nod in agreement with me that whatever that was stated here is definitely true and it might have happened to you or your friends around...Thus, sometimes guys, put her in mind before you do certain things. (:

Looking forward to the long weekend! But I seriously don't know what to do tomorrow! Shall see how things go! Shouldn't sleep till too late tomorrow! Will update soon! ((:

Beautiful Sunday!

2010-10-31T01:24:00.001+08:00

What a perfect weekend to end off the month of October! On top of that, it's the LAST weekend that I will be mugging for exams! Was struggling with MC today at NP while b was reading his OT notes which both papers will be taken this coming Tuesday. Those MC questions are driving us mad, plus the textbook is not easy to understand!

But nevertheless, b has made my Sunday look as relaxed as it is (even though we are still mugging for our papers). Supposed to get lunch and head to NP for revision, the intended Broasters Chicken was closed when b was craving for it, got Astons eventually but in the midst of the journey, b got me Starbucks! *grins*

Revision wasn't too bad at NP today, just that MC is really hard to grasp. Just pray hard that the paper is not too hard on Tuesday! Wonder if today is the perfect day for us, but b decided to surprise me with the trip to Jurong Hill after dinner! ((:

Been asking him to bring me there; but he always tells me that he is lazy -.- so finally when he suggested, I was really surprised! (: but the night view is really fantastic! plus it is definitely a good place to chill! Thanks b! Loves!!

Okay, Bintan trip has been confirmed from 22th to 24th Nov! Gonna to enjoy myself before full time work starts! Looking forward to it but before that........post exam gathering is just next week! Time really flies!

One more paper to tackle on Tuesday and I can party after that! Please ensure that this is not too hard a paper...Alright it's time for bed, last day of revision tomorrow and I can relax after that (:

1 down, 2 to go!

2010-10-27T23:24:00.002+08:00

SO paper is down and you cannot imagine how fast I had to 'erase' information of SO to start absorbing GM information for Friday's paper! Ohwell, at least the confidence for GM is not affected after the completion of the SO paper today. Talking about SO paper, I used nearly 3 hours to finish up the paper! The room was freezing with endless things to write...but at least it is over!

And yes, Bintan trip is confirmed with b! Sometime near end November! Of course I am looking forward to it, it will the only trip I have before I start work! ((: You can't possibly deprived me of my only holiday, right? Of course I might have to take a small loan from Mummy first, if not I'll see if I can find any temporary jobs that last for a few days which is sufficient to let me go on this holiday without any loans!

Wonder if it's the exam stress, haven't been feeling too good especially after today's paper, and now that b is also not feeling well too...hopefully he feels better after a good night's rest (lucky his next paper is on Tuesday, which is my last paper)

Random as it is, but I realised that honeymoon moments can appear anytime; not only as what others said, at the start of one relationship. honeymoon moments; short-lived as it is, but every moment is worth keeping, because it's something that you share with the one you love. (:

Alright, shall complete another sample question before heading to bed! Goodnight people! (:

less than 2 weeks to freedom

2010-10-24T01:12:00.000+08:00

This week marks the start of any exam papers and good luck to all! Especially to those who are graduating, like me! And not forgetting, my sister who will be taking her papers starting from tomorrow! (: Time flies; we have been mugging for 3 weeks already? Counting back, I have been studying out for the third Sunday too! Another Sunday for me to conquer next week and I will be done with all the modules in RMIT. It will be time for party! ((:

GM revision was pretty good in NP today, hopefully it will be as good next week for MC, and of course; any form of revision in school this week for my 2 papers, SO and GM this week. Oh, met b's sister and brother-in-law as they came to return the car after using it for their errands tonight, and of course, his lovely niece. Guess she is shy so she spoke real soft in the car (our radio volume was like 7? when the usual is at least 20 for b)...but she knows who I was!! was taken aback when I had to meet them but well, time will come when I have to meet them eventually.

Alright, just a short post to keep my readers updated for now...hopefully I can spare some time to post more stuffs, if not, till after 2 Nov!

girls are not fickle-minded, they are just...

2010-10-19T22:29:00.002+08:00

Exams are just around the corner; but when things don't move smoothly your way, it can be really bad. Especially when they are related to the affairs of the heart. People always say girls are emotional, and we tend to always let the heart rule over the head. That is really true, but guys can be emotional too, who says they can't? (:

Read some entries of my close friend and realised she might have been pretty affected by her love life, but I sincerely believed that she knows her priorities. (: I believed many reasons that we attribute to the beginning of a relationship is because of love, and that's most probably the reason which explains why situations like patch up and second marriage to the same person happen. I used to have the thought that there is nothing wrong for patch ups for a relationship but ever since a major incident, I have learnt that once the feeling is gone, it is really gone. Maybe because he hasn't proved his worth to make me retain the chance that there MIGHT be possibility or perhaps the love for another guy has surpassed and convinced me that I will be much happier without him (which I did, seriously.) But my dear, if you are reading this (which you will somehow or other), you know I'll be behind you for whatever decision you made eventually because you know what makes you happy. It's okay to make mistakes, who hasn't? So just pick up the pieces and move on, if you need. ((:

Well, the ups and downs are always present within relationships, it's up to how the couple decides to tackle them when they face it. But loving someone is not just telling yourself that I do feel the love, thus I love him but to tell yourself that everything of him, bad or good is yours to accept. Unless you really didn't know about it in the first place, if not, there should not be any complaints. Once you learn how to accept the bad, naturally you will be able to appreciate the good much better. (: This is what I have learnt and understand from a little lesson learnt today.

Shall rest early tonight and continue to mug well tomorrow! (:

tell me something about....

2010-10-18T22:06:00.002+08:00

Decided to do up an impromptu entry after feeling that tonight is totally screwed, I don't know how many can actually stand in this position to totally understand it but still, I guessed I needed an avenue to pen them out. Sometimes it is really hard for me to feel the place called HOME, because it is no longer as heartwarming and loving as before. Is it because all of us have grown up and thus created the distance or is it because we can no longer feel the share of love coming from him? At least this has taught me not to be parent or lifelong partner like HIM in any case in the future. I know this is cruel to hear, but reality of life is such when some people choose to leave the situation like that rather than picking up the pieces. You can't expect us to be picking up the pieces always for you when you started the trouble, the world is round, you don't always get the benefits and we get the blame.

I used to tell myself that I would like to get a lifelong partner like him last time when I was young, but I guessed every child has the same thinking when they were young, some will stay but most of them changes. Sad to say, mine has changed drastically. He no longer has portrayed that perfect image that he used to have, not that I want to be bias but his actions have so far proven my points. How can your husband leaves you alone after raising his voice, telling you multiple times that he didn't? I think I can totally understand how she feels; very bad but you can't do a single thing AT ALL. Disappointing huh?

At times, looking at such situations, it made me re-consider at times if I should even think about marriage next time. But we will never know how things will be like for me, so why not take the positive view and move on? I still have time to think and move on, but not for her. The only motivation she is relying on are us and God. Seriously I wonder, when will that character of his change?Not for good but at least to make my home look like a rather proper one.

So much for saying these, life still got to go on with the bad aspects of life. This is what we call LIFE.

it's all about....

2010-10-14T23:55:00.002+08:00

It is nearing the end of the year AGAIN! Everything is happening in a blink of an eye! This semester has been so far...uber fantastic! and it was happy 4 months two days ago for b and me! as much as he usually don't pay much attention to every 12th of the month but he would still cater time for me... (:

more friends around us are getting attached, wonder if that's the current trend or have we stirred up the effect of different races getting together and yet be dating happily...but well, getting attached is a nice thing and we should all be happy about it, especially if it happened to close friends around...

exams are in 12 days time!woah it is not really a short frame of time but not too long either!another day of mugging tomorrow, but it's friday... ):

perfect 10

2010-10-10T00:16:00.002+08:00

10.10.10 what a perfect date; there must have been many weddings held alone today, been hearing and seeing weddings all around when I was on my way to revise for exams...managed to complete 2 chapters of my GM and shall do up more tomorrow! studying out today was a pretty good choice when the house is full and your neighbour has their grandchildren visiting them....revision has been productive so far as long as my lappy or other noise disruption is not near me...but it has caused mummy to be unhappy...but the rental place is really not conducive to study at all, unlike hillside previously! ):

another 17 days to my first paper!time pass way too fast even though I only have 3 modules to study!how did i manage with 4 modules last semester?now i really wonder.hmm.....

and just like any other girls around, i have a boyfriend that always irritates me whenever he sees me...i know it happens to all girlfriends out there...but sometimes, don't you wish they treat you slightly nicer when you are with your friends? but old habits die hard...thus as long as they haven't irritate you to the max and it's not your PMS day, then i guess it should be fine....

and now, i got to start sending resumes soon like really SOON.but the thing is that I don't know exactly what I want to do yet and this is not good at all...ohwell shall think about it during intervals...for now, i guess it's time for bed, another day of revision awaits me tomorrow! (:

adapting into each other's culture

2010-10-07T14:52:00.004+08:00

time flies and I'm done with all my lectures in RMIT! In the midst of preparing for exams which my first paper is on 27 October, all thanks to Khai, we are out for visiting to the mats' place! (:

as heard, they are recommended to bring their partners along if they do have, and you all must be wondering why did my sister tag along? she just wanna experience how is it like and moreover, Khai has extended the invitation to her...But I can't deny that Yingxiu really looks pretty in her kebaya! Black is always a safe colour if there are no restrictions...Now shall let the pictures do the talking...

it has never crossed my mind that my partner would be of someone from another race, but quoting one of my friends; "it doesn't matter if he is the right one initially as long as the feeling is right." well i guess we are constantly being reminded of our cultural differences, but sometimes not everything can be resolved by logical sense. we are trying our best to get adapted into each other's culture, and i think we are doing pretty well (not that i am praising myself for it, but seriously how many can do it?)

since the last holiday till the nearing end of this semester, it has been like a roller coaster ride in USS or something. Been through my worst nightmare and yet be rewarded with treats, it has created a complete chapter of my life. thus, if our relationship is meant to be novel, i guess we are creating new chapters for the novel as we've been through each incident with each other in mind, from friends to lovers. near 4 months of dating, as much as we argue, fight and laugh, that's how we communicate and how we love each other. i think it's hard for others to understand but words can't explain my current situation.

it seems like the trend of people getting their singlehood is getting common, received a shocking piece of news just 2 days ago and i thought they were a prefect couple. no matter what, I guess every girl knows how it feels somehow or other when such things happen. it's just like when flashbacks of the past get reminded, the tinge of pain that lingers after it doesn't feel good at all. but at least, i got happiness with me every single time to ease them off. (: thanks b for instilling the faith in me from the start. ♥

hectic week but it's with love!

2010-10-03T22:12:00.005+08:00

it was THE BIG M PARTY on Thursday! totally fantastic but ticketing was super tiring!first clubbing experience was ultra good with good company around! didn't get to party much but i think jaz enjoyed herself more....

and pictures speak a thousand words! so you all know how much we have enjoyed at Zouk! hopefully b has enjoyed himself too! but he was too tired that night after all those ticketing duties we have...

anyway, it's b's 25th birthday today!met him for a while before he met up with the boys to watch soccer together! we couldn't decide where we are going, so b suggested taking a bus to the zoo to have Ben & Jerry's! tell me that it's sinful to have chocolate, chocolate therapy and phish food along with hot fudge and whipped cream!

but nevertheless b loves it so shall give in to him since it's his birthday....and i just realised it's FREE admission for him today at the zoo! should have grab the opportunity, now we got to wait till my birthday next year...

sincerely hope that he loved the presents! and also the BIG birthday card that i gave him! another busy week awaits us...with exam revision and others! ((:

alright, shall update soon! (: time for some revision!

some things are just fated.

2010-09-26T01:22:00.004+08:00

realised haven't been updating! been busy with bash booth sales and also my GM project, plus revision lectures! it has been a happening week, weekend was totally busy...with b's present and other misc stuffs....

went out with sweets on monday to get my bash dress!yes and finally bought mine! but it is not what i have posted here!this was something that i tried and thought it wasn't too bad, but it doesn't exactly fit the theme so sweets and i headed to far east plaza instead...

but we managed to get my dress within a short time which was good, shall keep it a secret till bash this thursday! (:

school is going to be over in another 3 lessons and 3 exams' time. time pass far too fast...or maybe because i am starting to feel that there is something more worth as compared to previous semesters which is why i don't want time to pass so fast? some incidents happened over the weekend, and it caused some flashbacks somehow. not that i want to, but in one way or another, it brings you back to the bad past when someone else is facing the same situation. but on the point that i managed to get out fast, i am doing really fine now...as for the other, hope she will really be brave enough to get back on track fast. (: i wouldn't want to avoid my favourite places previously but i wanna form new favourite places with my love because he is unique to me, unique in every case in our relationship. don't ask me for a reason, there will never be one; because i'm following my heart on this.

shall head to bed soon, another long day tmr! (:

hello from Kichn!

2010-09-18T23:57:00.005+08:00

hello there!this weekend begins with a bang! met b up to spend the fantastic saturday! he decides not to restrict location this time round but he gives me the challenge of per pax $20 and below...so my task is to find some dining places that we haven't been to.

and recommended by my dearest sister, here we are at Kichn! located at Albert Court, with a maximum capacity of less than 30, it has wonderful environment where it is all alfresco, even b thinks it's fantastic! it serves pasta but with the variety of choices for you to pick and match what you prefer...what's better? good customer service with no GST, is there anything more to complain? *winks*

their menu looks like some worksheets! and no waiters will come to you to take orders, but you colour them using colour pencils! (: isn't that very interesting?

fantastic quality of food and drinks, definitely worth us travelling there! love their ice blends! i got the safe choice of chocolate and oreo while b got chocolate and banana!

spending the total of $32 for both of us! it is really a good bargain! even b thinks so! but such meals, we don't exactly have it often so it will be some time before we head back there again! but it is superb for chilling out! (:

sunday tomorrow! got to meet up with b to settle bash ticketing for the following week, more extensive and intensive publicity needs to be done and more manpower will be required...aww and at the same time, GM has reached its second last editing stages where everyone of us are editing our individual parts for final editing this coming tuesday! can't wait to finish up GM and rest before Bash arrives the following thursday!

alright then, need to be awake early tomorrow! shall update soon!

losing voice is not fun!

2010-09-16T23:51:00.000+08:00

*silent hello!* lost my voice due to a bad throat and fever and now i am in the midst of recovering...it is not fun at all, and this is not the first time! got to warn myself to take in loads of water at all times no matter whether i like it or not.

went to the polyclinic 2 days ago to see the doctor, b took time off to send me there and accompany me till the end. he ended up falling asleep while waiting with me...when he was supposed to work on his assignment, but he was just too tired. but i really appreciate the thought that he has to accompany me. thanks b! others on the outside might think that he hasn't been very sweet to me, but really, it's always the little gestures that matter, he might not have obviously mention it, but i can feel it. (:

so glad that my GM presentation is over already thus the loss of my voice is not so bad after all. and lucky that GM in halfway through already...so that i can afford to rest abit more than usual. but i need to control my diet to ensure that i recover faster... ):

shall update again soon if possible! (:

all down, one left to go

2010-09-13T20:15:00.002+08:00

the start of a new week!feeling much more relieved as compared to the previous few weeks!decide to take a few moments out of GM to post an entry (: i have b stressing in front of me in the council room, trying to do up his LM while i have edited part of my GM report. ((: not much time left actually thus editing needs to be done bit by bit each day, not much time to slack in between.

finally gonna to get my bash dress with sweets next thursday! and also to scout around for other things, hopefully all can be done within a day! (: looking forward to it! yay!

caught a fever last weekend and when the temperature is off, i got a cough which cause me to lose my voice gradually. and now i only pray that drinking loads of water helps. ):

sometimes i miss the good times, growing up is not so fun after all. the days where we were younger were definitely the good old days that i miss having because when you grow older, you will be able to see more things that you don't wish to see, hear things that you don't want to hear...and what's worse? to have something negative happening beyond what you imagine. by that time, no matter how much tears you use, it doesn't put the situation back to default setting. this is how sad things are.

okay its time to stop here. shall update soon again!

a penny for your thoughts?

2010-09-08T13:39:00.004+08:00

nope, i am not posting anything with regards to my daily life in this post. decided to post something as i am getting more disappointment as life goes on.

gradually it came to me that sometimes, the power of money has taken over some people's ability to love. maybe i might have misread the lines, but clearly you have shown it obviously to us, is there even something that can hold you back and make you reconsider certain actions and decisions made? it might have been a mistake from the start, but if you now know that you are not going to turn back; then please let go. i don't see the point you holding on for the sake of money (well at least that's what i see).

two people get together because they are comfortable and enjoy each other's company. but when the only bond between two people get drifts apart, do you still see the point of being together? sometimes family do affect how we view relationships too. i used to think that as long as love is within, everything can be resolved. but apparently i might have been wrong. i used to hold relationships with great importance; until the wake up call i got this year. it has made me realise that sometimes i need not be so serious when it comes to certain things when they are not going to be fulfilled by the person you have imagined to be. its good to have plans ahead, but don't habour too much hopes, because in turn you might have to pick up the pieces yourself. i will still put in the same effort for my relationships, just that i no longer dare to plan in advance, shall small steps as time pass.

they used to tell us that they will never argue or quarrel in front of the kids, but over the years, it has become a norm, is it because we have already reach the age where we can clearly differentiate the rights and wrongs? i hate to say so, but sometimes, you really make me lose the respect for you, maybe its because i love her too much, or maybe its because the gap became further over the years? i don't know.

we are just so tired of seeing or facing the same things over and over again, totally can't imagine what's things in store when we start to have our own families next time. perhaps it's time for some self-reflection?

what a start to the new month

2010-09-04T17:15:00.003+08:00

hello! it's the month of September! been rushing projects via my desktop and my sister's laptop! and it turned out that my lappy is ready for collection today! just that the service centre is closed after i got hold of the news. ): alright then! shall collect it on monday after the morning class!

although all individual assignments are already done; but the group projects are not easy in any case! loads to be done! 3 more group projects to go! just done with GM's ppt slides for tuesday's presentation and now got to get back MC project again.

sometimes i really wonder; why the occurrence of all these unhappy events when there is not a need in the first place. i wanna to take a breather out on this weekend, even if it's just for a while. i just need a quiet place to keep those bad thoughts away. but i doubt b has the time to spare me for the fact that he has WIL project to rush this weekend. how am i supposed to even tell myself that all these are just coincidences and it's not because there was intentions to? i don't need an exact answer, i just want peace when it comes to the right situation. the atmosphere in the house now is so bad that if i had a choice, i would have went out for a breather just now. so tell me what should i do?

nevermind, shall see how it goes first then. update soon.

things that he does

2010-08-31T23:36:00.003+08:00

hello! the start of another week! at least i am finally done with SO, and now it's just group projects! and of all days, b decided to drop me a surprise the night before submission by bringing me to secret recipe for cakes! yay! (: and he picked the best time where i just came back from kevin's 6th party and have taken off my contact lens!!

that's why you now see BOTH of us in specs! that's a rare sight in any case to be capture by the camera! cos i normally prefer to be in my contact lens taking pretty photos instead! but well, it did not turn out that bad in any case. (:

lappy crashed on me last night with hard disk problem, gonna to bring it down to alexandra and meet chasel for lunch before heading back to school to work on projects. at least b is bringing my sister's lappy to school for me while i travel to alexandra with my crashed lappy which was only 2 months old...

okay shall update soon again! (:

RMIT Convocations 2010!

2010-08-28T14:24:00.005+08:00

hello! been missing for almost a week from this space! but i'm back with photos taken from this year's convocations! and it's mine next year! (: can't wait for this to arrive but at the same time, this means school life is over...here are some photos taken, the rest have been uploaded to my facebook. within the graduates, closest to jerlene and annice, so happy for them! and next for ryan, nicky and teddy... (:

time flies, and my seniors have now graduated! and we await to see next year's as there are a good 40 councillors graduating at the same time! and in the midst of seeing this, half of my semester 6 has passed! woah, sometimes i just hope that time hasn't passed so fast; i still wanna to enjoy my school life even though it's nearly 2 years ever since i got into RMIT.

currently working on my SO assignment on a nice weekend where i could be out somewhere; so glad that b is having his fasting period now...if not we wouldn't have time to work on our projects either. it's okay! the month of september is another month that i am looking forward to; end of projects and bash! time to pick some time to head out with nicole to get my bash dress... (: but before that, i need to earn moolahs...hehe!

okay back to SO for now...can't wait for this to be over...at least group projects are NOT that bad after all...shall update soon okay? kevin's 6th birthday party is tomorrow too! gonna to rush my assignment tonight! (:

sweet surprise!

2010-08-23T00:44:00.003+08:00

what a weekend spent at the other side of Singapore! and initiation is over, thus this would mean the following;
1. to collect the receipts for initiation so that i can pass them to Curina by Friday
2. to rush SO individual for submission which is this coming Monday
3. time management so that baking for Sunday's birthday party is possible
4. august is coming to an end soon!

finally managed to meet up with stef after so long! met up at holland village to have lunch before starting our project plus gossip session at Coffee Bean, but it was shopping at SaSa before that! she got so many eye products while i got another blusher with a few pieces of eye masks...had dinner with her bf, kevin as well as her friends Colin and Jess before they dropped me off at one the MRT stations for me to head home.

decided to drop b a surprise by getting KOI along the way and guess what? b dropped a box of cookies into my bag! although it wasn't fully made by him, but the thoughts were fully appreciated! even though PMS spoilt the mood by a little, but as a couple, we will always settle any matters on the spot (:

SO lessons again tomorrow! can't imagine how dry the lecture is gonna to be! and what's worse? it's morning class again! so it's time for bed now! shall update soon! (:

approaching another good weekend?

2010-08-19T22:14:00.004+08:00

totally not productive staying at home to do projects, although i have finally decided on which company to do for SO. guess school is more productive in any case? but the internet speed is really not up to standard. okay we shall see how it goes next week.

initiation is just this weekend!and it feels so fast, can't imagine it's my last initiation already! gonna to miss the people! i am so looking forward to it, based on the games that the planning team have in mind...photos be to up next week!

don't get to rest much this month due to tight project datelines, be it school or personal. and to top it off, everyone seems to be catching the virus to fall sick. it must not happen to me, got many things to do!

hopefully i will get to spend some time with b this saturday without having any interruptions. especially when the day activities are pretty tiring. as much as b is having his fasting month now, but our relationship still goes on, just that we don't exactly meet up for meals that's all. his routine is pretty fixed this month, can't wait for september to arrive! and we have been good for the past 2 months, apart that we don't exactly act like one lovely couple in school. but b is always sweet when it's just us. (: been through the pain and yet i moved on leaving the pain behind to start a new journey. time doesn't wait for me to take my time to finish crying and plan what can be done. life is too precious for me to hold on to the pain and hinder my happiness. my good thing has happened and i am really currently happy, trying not to think of anything else even though i should be. this new journey is not going to be easy; i know, but b is going to go through it together with me. (:

my weekend with loves! (:

2010-08-15T00:36:00.004+08:00

what a weekend! submitted both MC and WIL2 individual assignments! now left with SO individual and other group projects! but firstly, i can't wait for initiation! (:

anyway, the weekend ended with a farewell dinner for patience and jikson where they are going to Korea for their last semester and hopefully they have packed their luggage! (: dinner was at The Wine Company at Dempsey as recommended by Canni. Most of the Lovians made it for dinner, and it was a good catch up, definitely!

their prices were pretty affordable and had wine after dinner, didn't test my alcohol level beforehand, was kind of testing it on the spot, and 3 glasses of white wine and still feeling okay. does that mean that my alcohol level is not too bad? hehe.

and it was so sweet of b to pick me up after his prayers, before his Arsenal vs Liverpool match...time was really tight for him, but at least it was so loving of him to come over to Dempsey just to pick me home. ((: really appreciate it b! and on top of that, he gave me something that i thought i will never expect him to...and i doubt anyone can imagine that their SR head could do something like this...but it was really sweet of him! ♥

anyway it's morning class tomorrow and i got to head home after that to complete my group projects which GM lecturer wants to see our progress on tuesday, but i guess it is going to end early so i can go for initiation final meeting! alright, time to sleep! goodnights all! (:

hello! haven't been blogging for a while! so it's time to do so! (:

been busy with assignments as back to back datelines hit me this weekend, friday and saturday...no doubt timeline is really tight but it is also good to get over and done with. time management is still within control this semester. i can totally imagine how relieved i am after dropping these 2 assignments into the BBMFT box. (:

and and...it's initiation again next saturday!as much as we are all busy with assignments and bash preparations, it's SR's baby! the planning team is especially big this semester; but it is gonna to be a solid one! *grins*

hopefully it's not so busy after this month as group assignments are due next month, so that i can take up more replacement classes to earn more money! and at the same time, b is having his fasting month, so we are reducing the times we meet other than in school (: but not forgetting, i am meeting stef and my girls within this month too!

as i type this entry, i am actually done with MC! yeah! i can continue with WIL2 tomorrow! hopefully i can submit them both on friday instead of making an extra trip to school on saturday for WIL2 submission, but we shall see how?

and on the last note, happy 2, b! ((:

busy.happy.

2010-08-06T00:38:00.001+08:00

it's the weekends again! as much as this is going to be a long weekend, but everyone around me is rushing their assignments which are due this coming week. ): what a long weekend not to enjoy. as mentioned, the deadlines this month are almost back to back, which it has never exactly happened like this previously and i wonder why. but whatever it is, shall get them over and done with. (:

headed to meet sweets yesterday as we have delayed this meet since early last month? and furthermore, it is easier to cater time out now for the fact that she is a full time student instead of working full time! to top it off, she is in SIM-RMIT! easier for her to meet and pass me things that have stayed in her house for super long...hehe! headed for our long awaited k session and it was $8 NETT for 3 hours for members...

had nandos for dinner! and boy lucky we went early, the queue was SUPER SUPER long when our food was served! and well, the attitude of the employees was bad. however, the same quality of food can be attained in JB, City Square at half the price. (: queued for KOI too! why can't KOI open an outlet in the west or something?

at the same time, interviews for council applicants are on for the whole of next week, jazreel is having a slot on tuesday; good luck! (: and also to any of my freshies who are signing up!

gradually noticed that there are friends around who went back to their single status, maybe they are happier in that way, and at least they were being honest to themselves. but there are way too many happening within a week i guess?

love is really an interesting thing, the one can make you the happiest and yet make you cry as badly when it's bad. it used to be so painful previously because the more you love someone, and when the hurt comes, it can last for a long time. don't ask me how did i managed to hide or even recover from the pain. the pain will always be there; just make sure there is no trigger to it. i might have been unfair to him, but can you imagine how painful and disappointed when you realised that you are no longer his priority?or when he decides to choose another aspect over you, not taking in consideration of the times that were good? thus, i have cried what i had, think through what have to be thought, and eventually move on with my path of life. my dears, i have faith that time will prove. (:

teaching tuition tomorrow afternoon. while b got to rush his WIL as deadline is real soon. MC and WIL2 are due soon as well, just a few days after his. gonna to miss b pretty much as the fasting month is drawing near.. (: update soon!

start of a new month!

2010-08-02T16:44:00.004+08:00

done with SECOND ORIENTATION and that was my official LAST orientation for RMIT! different environment but fantastic batch of freshies! weather just have to dampen the mood and once again, the final clash was not played during the orientation. and what's worse? the heavy rain that begin in the early morning disrupted our sleep! it was super duper cold where perhaps only thick comforters help. but eventually managed to sleep for 2 hours or so, thanks to the heavy rain. (: and also big thanks to my OGL partners! Shermian and Victor! they had done a great job!

not forgetting my freshies, JailBreak! they were a fantastic batch of freshies! had loads of fun with them this weekend! should see them around in school!

also not forgetting spending some time with b during orientation although our responsibilities are different, the day activities were really hectic but at least night time was reserved for each other in one way or another, an informal SR gathering. but poor b, fallen sick due to insufficient rest accumulated over the week. luckily he is feeling better because there are more to come this coming week, SC recruitment interviews! along with it, are the assignments due these 2 weeks!we shall spend time while working on our assignments then. (: weekend with b is just love. ♥

and it's august already! shall update soon!

busy weekend ahead!

2010-07-28T23:45:00.002+08:00

mid of the week and yet it was a stayhome wednesday for me...no class but was busy calling freshies and working on GM as in Global Marketing...lecturer decided to assign us with tutorials to complete in assistance to our group project due on 1st Oct. but will need to complete it earlier as Bash is on 30 Sept and i have to be there. :D just as well, completing it earlier will make us at ease unlike DC last semester; it was a roller coaster!

busy weekend as my title says; it's the SECOND ROUND OF ORIENTATION! got to drag myself out of bed early this saturday morning and endure a whole day of activities! but guess what? i haven't found my sleeping bag! ): b got his last week when we were in Carrefour and i happily thought mine was at home, but after the moving of house, they are nowhere to be found! how?

2 more days of school and lectures are expected to be not so interesting. let's pray that i can survive them through okay? can't the lecturers make the lectures more interesting?

and finally sweets managed to get me what i wanted as a birthday present!hopefully she will get them soon! (: and i can't wait to see her this coming weekend! away from the usual attire that i will meet her in, sports attire! ((:

alright, let's hope that these 2 days will pass at a faster rate and it will be a good weekend seeing sweets making new friends in getting ready for school and also spending time with b (:

perfect weekend.

2010-07-25T23:58:00.005+08:00

it's sunday again! why do weekends always pass so fast? but nevertheless it was another perfect weekend with money earned from teaching tuition, the kids were not monsters as what i might have expected them to be so it was a breeze teaching them... (: hopefully other replacement classes would be like this...then it was dinner time with b, was able to spend some quality time with b on a saturday night in town apart from the times we meet each other in school simple yet lovely. ♥

and also family time! it has been some time since the family went out to relax ever since the moving of the house, decided to head down to novena today and we went on a minor shopping spree! guilty for spending quite an amount overall (but i was not the big spender, hehe) got myself another pair of shoes and a spag top, and a dress as a belated gift from my dear sister! big thank you sis! (:

another busy weekend awaits me; as the second orientation is happening! will see nicole sweets enjoying herself this weekend, and gets herself tired when i see her at the end of the orientation on the second day. hopefully it will be as fun as the first round of orientation, although with different team members, victor and shermian.

project meetings are also piling up this week even though it's only 3 official school days! argh! everyone is gonna to feel the project stress...alright, should update another time, morning class tomorrow after so long...time for bed! goodnights all!

more than just words; because it's you.

2010-07-22T13:43:00.004+08:00

class is only on for 2 days this week, tuesday and friday so that makes today a stayhome thursday!just as good; rainy weather, perfect for sleeping in or to nap later in the afternoon. it has been like a roller coaster ride for the past few months; been through the worst and yet land myself in the best situation so far i guess.

as some of you might have known, mummy found out that i was dating b, but i was so glad that she didn't oppose to it, as long as i know what i am doing. and to the extent that some of my friends asked, why him? how am i supposed to put them in words? he might have been different from other guys around within my social circle, but yet he gives me that sense of security that no one has yet been able to. and it is just him, being natural without having to hide anything from me. and at least i know it when he really loves me, rather than leaving me hanging in the air, not knowing anything.

thinking back, our journey was not easy to start with; faced with objection from some friends and family to now where i managed to convince some that it will work. but at the same time, that's only my side...some friends tend to cast that protective cover over me, seeing how b is like, i know they are concerned, but knowing b for near 2 years, i know he means no harm in any case. but you ask me now, it still feels kind of unbelievable that i am dating b in one way or another; no one can exactly imagine both of us being together in the first place. but still, i have to thank b for loving me unconditionally from the time he knew and be there for me, whether we were friends previously or now that we are a couple. ♥ love you!

inter-race relationships, not easy to overcome, and in fact, not easily accepted. i have friends who have been through it, although still going on strong, but acceptance from family is the toughest. i know time is a crucial factor, and hopefully time does prove something positive. (:

okay, so much for all these emotional talks. we are moving on fine; we are just any other couple who have our fair share of arguments and fights but end of the day, we will still tell, 'i love you' to each other. ((:

till i update again!

my happy weekend (:

2010-07-18T20:37:00.004+08:00

WIL 2 is officially over! but that means it's time to really start on those assignments as first assignment is due in week 6! projects stress is building up along with others such as council events and gatherings!

celebrated grandma's 70th birthday last night and oh my, a table with all her 10 grandchildren! that would have equivalent to NOISE! lots of cam-whoring and they were all done by my dearest little KEVIN! (only proper shots were done by me and naturally only the glam shots are posted here)

and not forgetting to post the birthday card that was given to me by lovians! promised audrey to post it up here. totally sweet and fantastic! audrey; the post is up; enjoy reading!

as my title explains; it was a happy weekend. happy because i managed to reveal what i have kept for some time with worries and hesitation; elated because it was positive outcomes that i wanna to hear. and you cannot imagine how thrilled i was to hear those words from her, because all along i just needed that agreement without thinking of the future yet; at least for now.

what a great weekend to start off my new week; meeting nicole this coming tuesday! yeah! and also to spend some time with b; he is more packed than i do this week. till i update again... ((:

trust with faith.

2010-07-15T21:38:00.005+08:00

WIL 2 lessons are almost coming to an end! last session tomorrow! whole week of WIL though, but school was still sweet in one way or another, get to meet b for awhile each day as our schedules are different...SEI today was totally fine for me! was kinda of nervous though but when the whole process begins, everything is almost fun! with WIL 2 almost done, means one module lectures down! time to start on projects and assignments! will be starting them tomorrow with b! (:

it's almost the weekends again! grandma's birthday dinner and facial fill up my weekend for now...and of course assignments to work on...mid of July and time simply pass too fast! second orientation upcoming soon! (:

trust is usually tacked along with faith. how do couples ever resolve this issue that is consistently appearing within the journey of love? when is to tell that there is sufficient trust to allow comfort zone?too much trust makes it unbelieving since human beings are sensitive creatures. but at the same time, having too much faith will cause a major breakdown if something drastic happens. then who is to say that "you are not having enough trust in me!"? sounds familiar eh? that's what happens in almost all couples, but no one seems to figure it out why. can you?

got to bring brother to hospital for review before going to school to meet lita for lunch before WIL 2 starts at 12pm. shall update soon again! (:

birthday happiness.

2010-07-11T02:16:00.003+08:00

turned another year older yesterday! hopefully it's not a sign to tell me that i will start to respond to things slower because i am only 22! another year older with new insights gained within the whole year of being 21. many changes, reflections done, changes made in one way or another.

birthday was welcomed when clock striked 12 midnight by a group of council peeps! totally appreciated it! and birthday wishes come one after another as time passes. had a good celebration with b on my actual day. well, he managed to surprise me Swarovski ear studs which totally caught me off guard! but that would only show how sweet he was. (:

dinner was fantastic too, caught Despicable Me and boy the movie was so cute! yellow little things that speak in a language that no one understands, especially the scene where they want kisses! in all, whole day schedule was totally simple but sweet! thank you b for giving me such a memorable 22nd birthday celebration; simplicity was the key and of course your love for me. ♥

not forgetting about the surprise birthday card that audrey and lita gave me too! you girls are really sweet! thank you for the birthday wishes, thanks lovians! (:

a brand new week with 5 full days of WIL2! just pray hard that lectures are gonna to be slightly interesting as WIL1, from memory wasn't that fantastic...gonna to start on MC individual assignment like tomorrow while waiting in transit...hahas.

meanwhile, time for bed! 830am class tomorrow! first 830am class for this semester! (: goodnights!

blessed. be loved.

2010-07-08T01:39:00.004+08:00

thanks for all the prayers answered for my brother's operation; he has been discharged and is currently resting well at home...don't know why, i don't really feel safe for the operation this time round but ohwell, it is already over and he is safe so be it and most probably this is going to be the last operation that he is gonna have.

first lesson for MC was today, pretty similar to SM though, which means there will be lots of theories and models! trying my best to get into the mode of study which it is getting better as the days of school go...hopes it gets better!

blessed. which situation does this word best fits? this caught me wondering for a while, then i realised it can be used at any time as long as you feel it. loving someone doesn't come as easy as i thought after all, everyone used to say that "it's okay, i will love his/her bad points too", but very often, this is always neglected and thus it will eventually be the cause that made the relationship fail. i think i can totally understand it now, because i have seen b at his best and worst situations which is why i can tell him, even the bad aspects, i will accept them too.

many relationships started because a guy might thinks that this girl is cute or hot and he starts his chase after her...eventually they got together but at times, they don't understand why they argue over the slightly bit of thing. something that b touched me was that he told me that he didn't simply just fell for a girl; he fell for a friend, a friend whom he spent 1.5 years understanding before feelings were developed. i don't think anyone of you can imagine how sweet i felt at that moment of time. to have someone that bother spending 1.5 years knowing you well enough inside out and eventually thinks that you are the one for him, that overwhelmed emotion is just something that tells me that i am blessed. many of you might agree that not every guy will make you feel this way. i used to believe that as long as each of you have something in common such as a couple ring or watch, it will always remind you that you have someone. but it turns out that such things are just add-ons to the relationship; it only matters if you did trap the heart eventually.

to be loved is a fantastic feeling; but relationships are always selfish, there will always be a party that is loving more even though it was meant to be a two-way ticket, but it fluctuates from time to time. what worries is when one party has purchased one-way ticket in the middle of the journey and leave the other behind. it's a feeling that can bring you to the highest point and yet crashes you down right to the bottom. this is love.

spend some time thinking about it, whether is on the way to school or before bedtime. have you felt blessed.loved?

birthday?

2010-07-05T00:05:00.003+08:00

second week of school!i am still in the holiday mood for the fact i missed out pretty much during my actual holidays due to my brother's operation and also the moving of house. well, on that, my brother is heading for his second operation tomorrow morning; minor adjustments to be done, but none of us expected this in the first place. another risk to be taken which all of us would be praying for the positive outcome of the operation.

starting to feel the bitter-sweetness of how this semester is like; hopefully this feeling of sweetness will always overcome the bitter feeling in one way or another. another year older in another 5 days, parents are more worried about my brother's operation and well, being another year older to them, it doesn't exactly have any big importance at this moment, birthdays are exclusive to individuals. but because my birthday is in the month of July, my favourite month is indeed July! it just seems right that it's within the mid of the year with a sweet name attached to it...but i tend to prefer December for occasions though. (:

wishlist has been asked though, i don't have anything that i exactly need, but as a girl, of course wants are never ending. it has been updated at the side of my blog though but at this moment, i can't think if there are anything else that i need because i am blessed with close friends around as well as b. (: birthday would be good as long as i am not the one planning my own birthday celebration.

no school till thursday and it will last till saturday which means i am having class on my actual day!but nothing is new being that it's another teaching visit, which normally it happens on saturdays. shall take these 2 days to rest more and hopefully not to gain weight! (: goodnights!

food for thought.

2010-07-03T01:17:00.004+08:00

first week of school is over; await to see how the second week will be in line with my 22nd birthday (: hopefully it would be better than GM (maybe i am just not warmed up for GM yet, give me a little more time) weekends are pretty packed with one being vacant as sweets needs to pick her brother who is touching down Singapore that same day. and end of the month comes the second and final orientation which i supposed it's gonna to be tiring but it wouldn't be as tiring as the first one because i am already done with the moving of house. (:

haven't been penning down my thoughts for some time already. maybe it's time to pen some here? anyone has the definition of best friends? aren't best friends are supposed to be people who are able to sit beside each other without having a conversation and yet knows what's going on (that's what people usually read within quotes). i might have overlooked certain facts of best friends but i still know who they are at least. i always thought that certain things need not to be spelt out but maybe i was wrong. it might have been my fault to have not initiate conversations but at times, i am really busy. ohwell, no excuses to cover myself up for it, disappointment comes in both ways, perspective fixed, then it shall be it.

on the other hand, have anyone felt that particular feeling that it was hard to let go of someone's hand when you caught hold of it? even if it was just for a spilt second? i felt that recently and it was something that i thought i will never feel it again after so long, and the feeling is much stronger than my previous relationships.

i know; the break up is a good wake up call, just like how close friends have reminded me, i have told myself that being too engrossed is a wrong step in love life because in a long run, you will find it hard to find yourself again, because along the way, you have changed to cater to the person you love and that's because you tell yourself that you love him. change to suit is never a choice as compared to adapting to their character. adaptation takes two hands to clap, one person's effort is never enough, and maybe that's the reason for many relationships to eventually drift away and end. and because the break up was such a clear wake up call, it made me took the decision with b in a clearer mind with more in depth and mature thinking. one can never understand what is the feeling like being left alone fighting for something that was supposed to belong to two people unless he/she has been through it. the feeling is really bad and painful, bad to the extent that i don't even wish to be reminded of it, so at almost all times, i am particuarly sensitive to such aspects after the wake up call. just thankful that b is always there no matter where and when, and also not forgetting my close friends.

at times, being taken for granted; it's really painful to hear, much less to say if you are the one being taken for granted. people who fall under this group always stands at a disadvantage where they cannot exactly change their way of doing things for fear of being said that the change is too much for others to bear. and gradually anything that happens is taken with a smile. how to protect oneself from being taken for granted? i seriously have no idea how. if it's in you, it will always be with you somehow.

it has been some time since i typed such a long entry. overflow of emotions and thoughts for tonight; it should facilitate more thinkings along the way and get outcomes to the positive side. not everyone will be happy with your decision; but it's your own outcome eventually and you can't please everyone, you know it best after being through various experiences in life. looking forward to this coming week, it will be better than this week, i'm pretty sure! goodnights!

first day of my last semester.

2010-07-01T00:47:00.007+08:00

1 July! first day of school! wasn't pretty much anticipating the lecture, cos first lecture is usually introduction, but i have to admit that the GM lecturer was pretty interactive and that she wanted people to talk to her in order to get prizes...and all of us seemed to be in the holiday mood still, that's why it's abit hard to get all of us involved...but overall i thought lesson wasn't too bad after all. lessons should get more interesting as it continue... (:

finally after so long, managed to catch ToyStory 3 with b! in one way, it was good too where we do not squeeze with others just to get tickets, but eventually they are still sold out when we went to collect the tickets! haven't this movie been in the cinemas for 2 weeks already? (: haven't caught animated movies for some time, and i still enjoy them, there is another one to catch next week! once upon a milkshake after dinner was fantastic, but i thought koi or cup walker might have been a better choice for repeat visits...or rather well, both of us thought that would be better. such milkshakes are good for once in a while indulgence. managed to visit tripleone somerset and realised that there isn't much there, totally can't understand why the building is built there in the first place. totally fantastic end to the first day of school ((:

should get into the school mode after this week i guess, visiting lectures tend to be harder to digest in the first place, but GM's local lecturer is not too pleasing to the ears as well. wonder if i would be able to understand him eventually. hopefully the remaining modules are not too bad though, *prays hard* last semester in school; got to work hard, and yet play hard, with series of council events, time management is super important (reminder to self), on top of that, i guess with the new environment, school is a better place to study, as in it is more conducive i guess.

time check is now near 2am, class at 12noon tomorrow! and it's lunch date with lita before class starts...should turn in to bed soon i guess? goodnights!

a brand new environment denotes a new start?

2010-06-30T01:30:00.001+08:00

hello people! back from the 2D1N orientation and i am totally feeling worn out! but cannot deny that the weekend was totally fantastic with all my loves especially with you being around! jazreel participated in the orientation and i guessed she had her share of fun too? first time bringing orientation out of campus, great effort from the planning team and not forgetting the excos. (:

was contemplating if i should go for the second orientation when sweets sms-ed me to check and to know that she is attending afterall! now being her best friend, i got no reason not to attend isn't it? (that's the partial reason for it) and hopefully the second orientation would be better with the feedback from the first batch of freshies.

moved to a brand new environment today!can't imagine that my body hasn't taken a good rest since saturday till now!all because orientation and the moving of house is one after another! ): nevermind, i have cleared quite a bit and the rest are left to be cleared bit by bit or to be left in the box. for that moment, i simply can't wait for school to reopen; like seriously. of course there are other reasons involved as well, but what are they? don't tell you. hehe.

facebook notifications are filling up my gmail and also my profile! maybe i am just too tired to join in the fun, unlike my sister. hahas! how i wish i could have taken a short holiday out of singapore before school reopens, but well, looking at this situation of me moving house, it is totally impossible, with the fact of first day of school being 1st july.

alright, time check now is 130am, seriously it's time for bed, but my hair is not dry yet because i just took my shower at 12am! been packing since afternoon and my body is aching all over...shall update soon, and that i guess is when school reopens! till then...take care and cheers! ((:

looking from another angle (:

2010-06-25T14:05:00.000+08:00

last baking session before i move out...an additional wrong step taken by ADDING too much chocolate chips and they are now FULL of chocolate flavour with every bite you take...but they still taste good, especially with vanilla ice cream!

tuesday; dinner with chasel, weijian and mervyn, just realised that it has been a year since i last seen them! wow, no change in them, and i was the only one with changes. now, is that supposed to be good or bad? dessert with chasel thereafter cos the two guys have something on after dinner, vivo's hongkong dessert; not very fantastic after all.

thursday; dinner with ena dear! totally fantastic! we decided to have budget dinner at one of the hawker centres in chinatown but dinner wasn't too nice and wasn't that filling after all. maxbrenner for dessert at vivo thereafter! ahhh first time given to her! had our girls talk at vivo open space and everything was perfect, more! surprise of the night comes when i arrived at henderson waves! okay, i know many of you might have been there already but i haven't been there alright! and i did mention it previously, so sweet of you to have remember it. it might have been minor but i really appreciate it. (: as much as i had a phobia for heights, but looking at the night view from different angles (although not for long), but it was still beautiful with perfect company.

first orientation for this semester is just tomorrow! less than 24 hours away! can't wait to spend the weekend well with my loves! it's gonna to be a good weekend even though i might be tired out by looking at the schedule timeline for orientation. shall update after orientation, or maybe after i moved to my new place? shall see how it goes...out for dinner tonight with family at jurong point; need to sleep earlier tonight cos i need to be in school by 730am tomorrow, it has been a long time since i last woke up that early...

2010-06-21T23:00:00.001+08:00

first post from my new lappy! parents got me a new lappy for school purposes since sister is entering uni along the same time with me this coming july. this would greatly facilitate us during our hectic project schedules.

anyway, was sent on a baking mission by mummy to bake cupcakes for jeremy's surgeon and team, heard that she loves chocolate-related items, so red velvet cupcakes for her! are you readers tempted? made a total of near 40 cupcakes! 32 nicely packed to be brought to the hospital when jeremy goes back there for a check up tomorrow. checked and tasted, quality check passed. (: pretty satisfied with my baking today although it has sometime since i last touched this particular recipe.

don't they look pretty?another baking round on wednesday to clear up the remaining ingredients; save them partially for ena who i am meeting on thursday for dinner? and maybe some for you too? (:

sometimes i really don't know what's the best outcome for any situation that we are facing now. a love-hate situation which we can't choose our path for life, we got to learn to be more forgiving and to be more tolerant about certain things. this is life as what people might say, different families have different upbringings taught and well, we got to learn it in the way that is being taught to us.

reflections. i guess at certain points of our lives, everyone has to go through this process whether we like it or not, whether we are already parents or children. generations' viewpoint often stands at extreme points, which this is where communication is vital, but wrong form of communication tends to disrupt and bridge any gap further than expected.

for now, i just want to enjoy whatever i have and don't want to miss out anything that i am supposed to be entitled...dinner with chasel and weijian tomorrow. shall update again! (:

2010-06-16T01:40:00.001+08:00

another new week! 2 dinner appointments within the first 2 days of the week and they were fantastic! ((:

monday; met up with my poly girls with amelia giving us the last minute 'bomb' of her working OT for the evening thus being unable to join us. but well, the 3 of us still had a wonderful dinner ending it with KOI! on top of that, it was lilian's last paper before the dinner so it was celebration for her as well! next meetup in early july!

tuesday; dinner at Mariners' Corner at Maritime House with the uni clique...dinner was simple but the catch up was totally good! Selegie beancurd/drink was good since it has been a long time since we last had it. it was a pity that annice dear couldn't join us as she was sick, hope she recovers soon!

hair trim this thursday with sis! totally need it before sch reopens in 2 weeks time and just a week before orientation! orientation briefing on friday evening at 6pm!

sometimes it's just the meeting of the right person at the right time. the time factor seems to play a very crucial part in almost every aspect of life. some might have missed each other just by a split second and that concludes almost not meeting ever in the future. not thinking about certain things makes the mind simple and to temporarily neglect the presence of the environment. outcomes are always not predictable; but everyone knows what's best for themselves in every situation. ((:

2010-06-11T23:40:00.000+08:00

been busy in and out of the hospital for this week, my brother is recovering well and he can be discharged tomorrow! yeah! so glad that everything went well during his operation and also the post-op process...thanks for all prayers done during this week ((:

timetable is out! but looking at mine, they are not very satisfactory neither good either. ohwells, my last semester in school. please tell me that everything will move on smoothly without hiccups, whichever matter it may be. (: i just need the right amount of luck for all these.

as much as talks with parents are good in one way or another, at times, it pose to be a very neutral standpoint where it leaves you silent and ponders over what else can be done. with a 'i don't know' answer doesn't exactly answer anything as well.

ohwell, just take a step as it goes. whatever happens, it will happen even if we try to avoid it. (:

it's been a week since i last updated this space! gatherings were held all within this week! firstly the dinner with noah, then timbre with sweets, sentosa with stef and the meet up with pris along with bud and murali! pretty busy huh? although it can be really tiring, but it was all good meetups (well, almost all.)

dinner with noah was really simple, just some catch up about our recent life since our break up about a month ago. he is still as busy while i am busy preparing myself for the final semester in school plus the moving of my house.

timbre with sweets was fantastic! my first time there and it was given to her! ((: heard so much about their pizzas and woah, it was really good! not forgetting their buffalo wings too! tried their cocktail too (although i ordered a mocktail for the fact that i don't prefer drinking when i am out) ktv session next month along with dinner as well! 2 separate dates! totally looking forward to it!

friday was to sentosa with babe so as to celebrate her birthday which was the day before! she had the intention to suntan! but i got sunburnt at my shoulders cos i forgotten to apply sunblock there...): they are still in pain whenever i touch the shoulder areas. but glad she enjoyed herself though, and it was a year ago since i last went sentosa, no major changes other than resorts world that's all.

headed out to meet up with pris dear yesterday along with bud and murali! second meet up since the holidays and it was still fantastic! she is looking real good and we are looking forward to see her back in school this coming semester! had lunch at astons before satisfying our taste buds at iceikmo (i think that's how you spell it) along thomson road i think. ended the day with a walk in the park, with good conversations with her. more meet ups; but i guess that we will wait till school reopens.

it's gonna to be a busy week when the weekend is over. jeremy is heading for his op this wednesday and admission is on tuesday afternoon. will try to squeeze in short dinner dates in the later of the week if anyone needs them (: as usual, i am moving on fine, no worries about me not being able to move on because i know there are many other better things awaiting for me right now. instead of holding on the unhappy past, i've really learnt that being happy in what i do matters the most. it is no longer trying to make the other person happy that is important, it's how to ensure that both would be happy and comfortable within the relationship if i do start one. (:

okays update till here. will try to update whenever possible! (:

2010-06-01T14:10:00.000+08:00

hello! it's the beginning of another new month! a brand new start; many more things to look forward to, and bonding closer friendships using the time i have on my hand now. was able to make use of this period of time to meet up with stef more often which i didn't have the chance to, keep the usual monthly dates with nicole, was able to meet up with pris whom i have not met for so long (and we are meeting this saturday again!), was able to have dinner dates with ena which we wanted to make it happen long ago, and many many more!

another packed month for me; with dinner dates, sentosa outings, rmit orientations and also the moving of house! all to be done within this month! (: gonna to rest and enjoy fully within this holiday before the torturing semester 6 starts! but i guess my last semester in school is gonna to be bitter-sweet in any ways. (:

i know everyone who knows what happened is still very concerned about me; and most probably a huge percentage still doesn't know what happened...yes i am doing very well now, so not to worry and i know no matter what happens, i will have the following people beside me; my family, stef, nicole, ena, pris, bud and murali. with all of them taking care of me, how can i not recover well and fast?

over the years, i have become a stronger girl in terms of character and feelings too; i am only 22, there is still time for me to look around, to be sought after, or to even get into relationships to enjoy the feeling of being loved again. but then again, i really miss the times of being protected in terms of my partner putting in effort or to be chased after; since the start of my previous relationship. maybe i have been taking the lead for far too long, thus it's time for me to sit back and enjoy? i have taken a different light towards relationships now, not that i am taking it easy now, i still treat all relationships serious, but the fact is that i might not need to put in so much effort just to get a smile afterall.

alright, shall update till here. gonna accompany sis to SIM for enrolment payment and head to meet noah for dinner. till i update again, cheers! (:

2010-05-26T22:50:00.000+08:00

hello! it was a busy week to start with, as I am working at NP these 4 days to help out and get paid for their graduation ceremonies (: normal hours, but relaxed though.

met up with bestie, stef when she dropped by my place on sunday! so sweet of you babe! but I was definitely feeling much better than the past week so your company was purely just good in terms of talks and talks apart from that particular issue. head down to Holland Village where we dine at Breko for 3 hours, endless topics from me to her, then back to her and me again...it is definitely a place that both of us enjoy and we might just drop by when we are in the mood for some mushroom dishes!

mood has been feeling much much better with the company of good friends around! it will be sweets' turn really soon! and of course how can i forget about ena whom I am meeting tomorrow night for a good dinner? (: I haven't been thinking so much since the time I was single, but sufficient to tell myself that life goes on with whatever things that happened. girlfriends around tell me that I should let myself take a nice journey to enjoy the benefits of being single, which I guess one of them is to meet up with all the friends whom I haven't been doing so! ((:

shall update more when the week ends, that's if I still have any other things to update. ohh, tuition this saturday at admiralty is going to be another good one with P5 kids...and also looking forward to the month of June...many things are happening within June... (:

p.s. don't worry, i should get back to baking in no time. *winks*

2010-05-19T23:30:00.001+08:00

hello! i just came back from a pretty good trip out to bud's house in Malaysia with good company of friends! despite sleeping for 6 to 7 hours last night, i can't help but to feel tired upon reaching home, and i wonder why. played king's card for a while and it was totally hilarious as both drinkers and non-drinkers are in the game. well, what happens there shall be kept within there then. ((: shared a room with valval and annice dear! girls talk was superb with the occasional involvement of brendam and ben! had A&W's root beer float too!! it was super good with those curly fries!

last weekend was pretty good as we managed to source for a pretty good rental flat within the area that we prefer, around 7 minutes away from the MRT? will start to move things in bit by bit starting from the mid of next month. tuition at AMK was pretty alright too, was able to tackle those little monsters to make sure that they complete at 2 worksheets in class together. as much as the weekend wasn't supposed to be that, but i guessed a good change has hinted a good start somewhere. (:

temporary work starts from tomorrow onwards at NP and will end next thursday! hopefully things would be really good and easy! decided to postpone the dinner date with nicole sweets till early next month as i worry that i'll be too tired to have a nice dinner with her tomorrow. look forward to seeing you sweets! i will try to fulfill the dates of other friends as well if time permits, okay? i guess this holiday would be a good one to meet up with friends.

for any other friends who are still concerned, i am well and is taking my time to recover slowly. noah and i are still on talking terms with each other and we should meet up to have a meal someday next month. (: as much as we have our own things to do, but both of us are still concerned about each other as a friend, right? (:

anyway, i guess update till here is pretty sufficient. shall update soon okay?

2010-05-14T17:20:00.003+08:00

big thanks to close friends for their concern, as much as i am in the process of recovering, things are going to move on as per normal. the relationship has made me to become a more independent and strong girl as time passes. there is no right or wrong when it comes to matters of the heart. and because i love him, i will let go because this will make him happier. we are still good friends cos we don't find any point to avoid each other for now. any other things, we will leave it to fate to decide if we ever become a couple again or become partner of another person. (:

the best thing that any others could do is not to ask in depth of what happened because the journey of our love has been a beautiful one and it will remain to be as they will always be kept safe in a particular spot within our hearts. ♥

hello!! I just came back from the post exam chalet for student council from Changi this morning! Managed to only nap for an hour, guess I am the one that has the least sleep there! The attendance was pretty much expected but the planning team did a good job I should say! It's time to find a part time job with flexible hours?

anyway, mother's day was last Sunday and it was Mummy's birthday as well! The kids got her a pair of pearl earrings from Lee Hwa Jewellery and she loved it! On top of that, we went Thai Express for mother's day dinner at Vivo. I've tasted their food quite a few times and it wasn't too bad, and since they wanted to try, so we went ahead!

With the chalet, as promised to Ali, I baked his birthday cupcakes for him! Strawberry Cupcakes! They were not very easy cos I have practically NO experience in dealing with strawberry-related items! but I should say they look very pretty! don't they?

baby has been busy with work, but I can't wait for Thursday to arrive...cos I'm meeting him on Thursday! yeah, totally can't wait! He still have proposals to rush through but I guess we shall make Thursday a relaxing one instead.

okay, I shall update soon again! anyway, Nicole and I just created this new blog where we showcase recipes and places to shop! newly started but you could take a peep if you want to! http://www.shopaholiccooks.wordpress.com

2010-05-07T14:55:00.000+08:00

exams are finally overrrrr!

4 papers within the time frame of 6 days, but i should say all the papers were alright...celebrated by catching ip man2 with baby last night; it's a good movie and those who haven't catch it, you should! if someone like me catch it too, it is definitely highly recommended!

on top of that, baby taste FREEDOM today too! he collected his pink IC this morning! yippeeeee!now he is busy with his events job and we have our year end trip to look forward to! ((: *wide grin* baby, i know you might be very very busy and will be super tired as the weeks pass, but hang in there okay? be sure that i will be with you anytime you need me to be around.

anyway, mother's day is coming soon! have you decide how to celebrate it with your mom? shall update soon! (:

2010-05-04T18:15:00.001+08:00

finally; its the month of May!

two papers down, two more to go! respectively on wednesday and thursday. can't wait for the last paper to arrive soon and start my long-awaited holidays! of course, anyone has job vacancies to introduce from May till end of June? done with the core modules; now left with major and minor modules to clear. the previous two papers were pretty okay, not very very tough but definitely there are some form of difficulty within.

baby starts to get busy with his new job; but it's another 3 more days to his ORD! time pass so fast! it seemed like he just got enlisted not long ago and a year 10 months have passed! we will arrange to see how our schedules will work out to meet each other, at least once a week. ((: finally it's over for him and i can totally imagine how he would react when he receives his pink IC...

the month of May...some activities have been scheduled for this particular month, but not very packed so i would have time to pack my room so that i wouldn't be extremely busy when it comes to the end of June since we are moving by then.

anyway i will update soon after my papers, maybe during this weekend or something? for now, it's back to the books. (:
