My Bali trip was awesome! There are so many pictures i want to post, so many memories i want to share.



the beautiful sundeck that holds so much memories for me. the moment of tears, joy and laughter.

the whole trip was really like mini honeymoon. i realised the boy emailed the resort to plan it that way. so many nice and awesome surprises. i love the sunset dinner at the beach too. the sunset was so pretty!!



and lastly....



i really wanna post more pictures but then i will end up posting everything. so yea.... i will show u if u ask! hahaa

A really good saturday spent with loved ones before the boy and i fly to bali. today is the annual 'lou-hei' day with my family but be-na-brah decided to do something else before the dinner and that is to take our precious GM to the movies!!



I'm sure GM enjoyed herself alot and we are happy we brought her. =) =) And here's us before Bali.



Pray for journey mercies. Will be back on Tues. =)

It is days like today that make all worries and troubles insignificant.

one thing after another... i'm suffocation!

After 2 good days of visiting, i'm still not ready to start work!! I'm not ready to start anything! i just wanna pack up and go Bali! But i m looking forward to this whole busy week though.

Anyway, this year has been relatively different. I spent the first two days of visiting with the boy and for once, we finally went to visit his mum's relatives. They sure have a lot of people there. I love big family! Too bad, he's not very keen on it, he likes things simple, and less noise. So i don't think I will be able to have a lot of huge family gatherings. =/ But i'm sure everyone in my family loves him. Everyone except one. The unreasonable, fussy one. Good job, my love! Keep up the good work.

our hush puppies shoes!





and let this whole week roll!! =)

I didn't do pedicure this year. my package is still there after 1 year plus. my nail chipped a while ago and i was lazy to ask them to be super careful with it so i decided not to go. i wanted to find something red and i end up with this. haha! maybe i should start doing my nails. troublesome it may be but collecting a lot of nail polish seems fun. haha!

the colour above is called

It's Up To You

Product Code: NI 224

Happy 6th anniversary to us! Well, the actual day is tmr but we decided to pre-celebrate it because tmr is cny reunion dinner day. and both of us will have our own dinners at our homes respectively.

i asked the boy, should we dress to the nines and go out somewhere nice to eat? or should we cook up a blast? he chose the latter so we woke up early in the morning, went for a nice dimsum breakfast and then started our grocery shopping.



and we started cooking a storm:











and the feast is here!



i wanted to do a 4 course meal but seriously, just these 2 almost took up half the day. so tiring. presenting crabcake and handmade ravioli!!



Thank you for the past 6 years worth of memories, love and joy. I look forward to many many more years with you and bali next week!! Lovessss!

went to bff's house today and got surprised by a door gift!



so cute of her! who gives door gift to a random guest who decided to go over last minute just to get shoe membership card. Haha! rather amused by it. and i got tickled by her mum as well. i guess it is always more fun and amusing to talk to other people's mums other than your own.

Anyway, new year resolution: 100 pairs of shoes. Now 3 down, 97 to go! WOOTS! haha!

went mini shoe shopping with the boy. mini because we kinda know what we want already so just go buy! i tend to want to have same things as him so although i didn't think of owning a pair of hush puppies shoes, i end up buying one because he bought one.



something similar to this.

i still need heels though. lots and lost of heels! haha

i just realised this coming sunday is our 6th year anniversary. what should we do? whip up a special 4 course meal, things we never cook before or go to a nice restaurant?

hmmmm....

i had a very fulfilling and tired weekend. happily tired.

LG is back on every Friday. Never prepared for it and frankly, my heart wasn't there. Too long never do homework, need some getting used to. I love fellowshipping and my new resolution is to follow my boy not to eat after 1030 (which is after cell).

Saturday was a long and sweaty day. The boy and i went to grandma's to help out in preparation for the steamboat. Not much to be done cos Empress Dowager likes to do things herself. Afterthought to myself, i should have just push her out of the kitchen and insist on helping. we might have to eat out next year. and there goes one steamboat session, which is always my favourite. then after we are done in the afternoon, it was still early so we popped over to my aunt's place where we started playing kinnect. i seriously sweat like crazy after 15 minutes or so. haha!! and i m even aching now!!! gosh! and then dinner at my grandma's was like a sauna session altogether. we ate in the kitchen, not much wind and the boy commented we are burning calories as we eat! I so agree!

Sunday which is today ended up as last minute cny shopping for clothes. oh we tried CoCo Curry!



it definitely is nice but my boy prefer the GoGo Curry and i chose the wrong dish. The chicken cutlet sucks!!! must remind myself to eat sausage next time and ask for lesser rice. I wanted to prove i more garang than the boy so i took the highest level of spicy-ness. Shiok but burning to the throat. i couldn't even finish the curry. Haha!

so we walked down from somerset to far east, bought quite a bit of stuff. i am still missing a pair of heels which i eyed at charles and keith. just that they don't have my size. i am going to run around a few branches. and i want a bag too!!!!

i have been really upset when my carelessness, forgetfulness and clumsiness caused me to lose one side of my pearl earring and another side of my diamond earring all in the matter of 2 weeks. it matters to me because all these were bought by the boy. if i had bought it myself, i wouldn't have been half upset.

today, much to my very surprise, he sprang me this



i love the ruby studs inside and i love the boy more! i pray i won't lose this EVER!!!!

i have so many pending matters on hand. how to concentrate!?!!

my memory is deteriorating. how to remember???!!!

i am getting clumsier by the minute. I pissed myself off SO MUCH!!!!

ARGHHH!!!! BAD DAY!!! HOW TO LAST TMR!

Genesis 9:16

Whenever the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and all living creatures of every kind on the earth -NIV

God haven't answer my prayers directly yet but seeing this reassures me that He is still in control. How so? I'm really not sure. I am still quite weak on the inside, waiting to strengthen up. How should I do it? I'm not sure too. But a wise person would say, figure out your why before you think about how. I need to know why i want to do it then i can figure out how i wanna get there.

I had a super lovely weekend. ended on a high note. God, give me strength to endure one more week.

had a relatively eventful saturday. went chinatown in the morning to q for ba kwa. spent around 1 hour plus q-ing for it and luckily i had the boy with me. each q one side and see which line faster. yay!! yummy lim chee guan!!!



feeling a little down lately, so i asked the boy, can we turn the kitchen upside down and do something we never do before? somehow, we settled on rosti, not that big a dish that turns the kitchen upside down. but we never try before. and we even bought a grater just for it. i love my new grater. love buying kitchen utensils, makes me happy.







nothing beats having heineken together with a lovely dinner. =) and then we realised we got so much ba kwa at home but it's all to give people. we didn't buy any to munch ourselves!! darn! so we walked all the way to central to get bee cheng hiang (which is disgusting btw). wanted to jog but end up too lazy. what a way to start the new year. oh well.

为了无能为力的事，我感到很沮丧。
为了再也触碰不到的人，我感到很沮丧。
为了不能想通让爱我的人放心，我感到很无奈。
为了总总的无奈，失落在失落。

i started the day as per any other day until i received a email. such things do happen, i know. but at the start of the year? how sad is that. i need to grow up, i need to learn, i need to control my emotions, i need to open up. why are there so much things to learn to deal with day to day stuff and to deal with people.

i am sniffing like mad now, nose so pain and feeling so jaded.



thanks to b, he brought me to sushi tei, that kinda perked my day a little, i need the weekend to recuperate. anyway, this is their winter promotional items, squeeze rice in squid thingy. the sauce abit sweet.

I'm a super boring loner today.

I went to office slightly later today around 11 and i thought to myself, eh, i should try some of the stalls in ah moy that always has alot of people q-ing for. And recently watched this food show by bryan wong. he recommended this hakka yong tau foo, which i thinking what is so special about. Apparently, they sell 猪肠粉 together with their ingredients. I am not a fan of it so i took just bee hoon soup. Look at before and after I buy.



And that is not even 12 noon. I think the q gets longer.

This is what i had for lunch and dinner.



So boring right. I now end up craving for alot of things. Like Mac's twister fries, korean fried chicken, kembangan mee sua. And the list goes on. I'm so sad i lost my food buddy. =(

I'm not so adventurous at the moment (will i ever be?), so i really wanna explore the southeast asia countries more. and places such as taiwan, korea and japan are top on my list on top of the rest of the south east asia countries.

B recently got hooked onto 'You're beautiful", a korean drama. Don't laugh at him, he's really quite addicted to it. i didn't watch with him, maybe just a few mins here and there, but it reminds me of the drama above, 'Coffee Prince' and so someone like me who loves to watch repeated shows couldn't resist but started watching it again.

the scenes i laughed and the many many scenes i cried for. there is this scene where the female lead is so cute, went in to hug the mum when she sleeping to tell the mum she has someone she likes and that she is going to confess she is a girl. the mum hugged her and say it's hard on you. that kind of encouragement and assurance from a mum to a child. there goes my tears again. silly me, I KNOW!



did i add that i love love love the second female lead, she is so pretty, i like her features, like her figure, like her hair!!!! i'm never the kind that will go ooh and ahh for male leads, but for pretty ladies, i will! haha! maybe it is plastic. korean plastic seems to be doing quite well. and success rate and results seems to be satisfactory. maybe i should consider.

first thing i learnt for the new year-- everyone has their own boiling point and it really differs from person to person. when my mum is freaking mad, i find that really funny. however when she makes me boiling hot, she finds it very funny as well. like now, she's angrily packing the mess at the balcony. my huge and tall stack of newspaper, and suddenly, she found a packet of rubbish. I don't know when i left it there and forget to throw, must be quite a while because it's starting to smell. She went hysterical but i found that really funny!

my memory is really getting from bad to worse, what should i do ar? ginko? maybe this is the retribution for laughing at evelyn last time. haha! and i better start remembering my rubbish, mummy just threatened if i forget again, she will make me eat up the rubbish! and i'm laughing out loud again. freaking funny! hahaha

Happy new year from the both of us! Our first picture taken at the strike of 00:00.



We even reviewed our last year resolution together, i did most of the things i wanted to. probably just the exercising part and the saving part. haha! Anyway, 2012 will be a better year for that!



It has indeed been a meaningful weekend thus far and I'm looking forward to a cosy Sunday evening together, with homecooked meal and lost of quality time spent. One of my resolution this year is to have a to-do list. Don't know why but my memory is getting from bad to worse, if i don't start a to-do list and follow through, i will not be half as efficient as i wanted to be.

B and I want for MCP counseling yesterday and there were a lot of take aways. We have to work on our conflict management, not that it is really bad now or that we have huge issues. In fact, we have petty issues but it is good to be able to talk it out and dialogue it. It definitely helped to improve our r/s, especially since we have been dating for a long long time, like coming 6 years this 22nd. A long, constant and steady r/s has its pros and cons. I shall not name the pros which will go on and off. The cons will be taking each other for granted and definitely assuming we understand every aspect of what each other wants all the time. Which may not necessarily be true. Anyway, we did a wishlist individually for what we hope we can have more or less in our r/s. I thought it is a good thing to do on top of our resolutions together on a yearly basis. Not so much a demand list, but rather it's good to talk about things. I love talking. =) =)

Ok, time to go help him out in kitchen. Tata. Happy 2012 everybody. This year will be great, if you believed in it!
