It was a homely weekend spent. The weather was very nice for the both of us to just nua at home too. It was japanese day on Saturday. I'll let the pictures do the work.


My potion that looked like tomato sauce but tasted quite alright: apple, carrot and tomato juice.


Appetiser: Salmon

The only sushi i wrapped. he claimed mine was fat and not nice! so i gave up.

The set-up

He wrapped the remaining sushis

Final masterpiece, 9 rolls in all

Dessert. I love it... but this is depleting in supermarkets. can hardly find them anymore.

haha, here comes the birthday aftermath. have i kept u guys waiting for too long? it was a mild sunny day on 21082008. it rained a little but the weather was always nice to us when we got out of the car, so no umbrellas were needed. though my precious one would complain it got a little humid, the effects of after rain. we went sentosa, drove there. i love it when there's transport. went underwater world. he says it's to fulfill one of my many wishes. i think he just cannot believe that somebody had never gone to underwater world before. =/ it's expensive wad. and i never ever see a reason to go. cos the only thing i had in mind when i came out is i wanna eat stingray and crabs! but it was enjoyable. he promised me cable car and images of singapore next time. =)



After which, we headed to chijmes-- Capella Modern Italian Restaurant. He said he read it from a magazine and it looks good. It really is good, be it the ambience, or the food. I love it.






His must-have tiramisu.

Happy Birthday to me!

On the eve of my birthday, i decided to sit down properly and upload pictures. I decided to use collages to represent my pictures cos there were simply too many, over 200, and some pending from ladyironchef. and i decided to change skin too.. fresh start, fresh look. and anyway, the party would not ve been a success without:

My parents

and xcyflawx.

my makeover photoshoot. yes, i know it's unlike me and vvery pinky. haha.. =)

I'm a very happy girl today and that's cause:

1. my baby is off today. national day's off day.
2. i finally finally got my makeoever pictures.
3. daddy and mummy bought me 2 gold pendant and a chain
4. my party's this weekend and i'm trying to stay happy all the way
5. amelia's gg to be back tmr!

when i have all these things to be happy about. should i frown when i grew many many new pimples... all near the nose?

i have to admit because i noticed many cases already that guys are actually better cooks than us women. haha. yes, takes alot to admit but out of 10 cases, there are at least 8 of them that's true. oh well.... yet, there's always differences in the kitchen still.

like a girl hates it when a guy cooks.. and why is that so? cos they dun clear up as they cook, they choose to clear up only after cooking, after dinner, dessert den rest a long while before they choose to wash and clear up the kitchen. and it irks the girl very very so. but when a girl cooks.. the guy always has this mentality, i dun mind, but i know i can do better. therefore, they always will add in a few "friendly" comments, which some girls can or cannot take. depends on how friendly the comments are.

haha.. just something interesting i feel

and amelia.... miss u. come back soooon.

someone told me before happiness is usually self-defined. that you know what makes you happy. however, sometimes i feel happiness comes when we least expect it. or happiness can also be things or people that you didn't know could have make you happy. and it only happens at that instant and that moment. even if we were to repeat the things or people, it might not be the same feeling that it first gave us.

and when i slowly begin to realise that and understand it... i really treasure times that make me happy. cos the feeling that i have cannot be repeated and neither do i want it to, cos the feeling will not be the same anyway.

it's that captured moment, captured in my heart. that's where my happiness comes from. accumulated of captured moments that i didn't know exist before that.

there are so many material things i want. right now.. like seriously.... i want...

1. a pair of nice flats to go with my pretty nails
2. to go for the eat my dead skin therapy.. i don't know what's the name of it
3. a good moisturiser
4. a dress for my birthday
5. a very pretty clutch bag

My Levi's itch is itching again. everytime of the year.... =/

money dropping from sky?

i don't know how to describe my current feelings. i hope you understand. somethings have changed but every day is still moving on. no one has stopped living, everyday life is still moving along. we're still very much in love aren't we? i think i need to reassemble the scattered pieces of my life. and make a new picture out of it.

i hate it when plans get screwed. especially in a bad way!

and that's my lovely cousin/godsis on her 5th birthday. she and the birthday bear jie bought for her.

i realised mondays are the best to blog. i love to sit down on a monday morning, recalling the beautiful weekend that just passed then type them out in words. i finally got my jogging shoes during the weekends. i expected it to be difficult but i'm surprised at how efficient we were or rather he were so within minutes of steppin into town, we got it already. so people out there who actually saw my wishlist... jogging shoes are out! that means so is adidas vouchers.... oh... but actually i won;t mind running attire. like shorts and the sleeveness v v comfy singlet looking top. haha... new sports bra is fine too! oh, and did i mention, the running shoes is a gift! my first 21st birthday gift. =)

so we were shopping around town, looking for a small water bag tt he can carry while we jog, one tt can put our ezlink cards, keys and all as well. we just went sports shop over and over again. it's quite interesting cos usually i wun even step foot in there. anyway, dinner was at Big Fish and must i say it again, i really love the place! why did we go there after such a long time. we should really go there more often. No pictures though, i was just enjoying myself too much to hassle myself. haha. the lady boss told me there's a new menu coming up.. interesting. i cannot wait. anyway, this Bigfish treat is on me to celebrate the boy's commissioning. look how long it was already and till now then we go.

We had nice scallops for appetisers. They are just special for the month only. Baby had his swordfish while i stick to pasta. Dessert is normal for him, which is tiramisu and i tired something else other than warm chocolate souffle. Now i wish i hassled myself to take pictures, cos with pictures, i dun ve to describe. oh well.... next time den.

so a lovely sat den a beautiful sunday. movie and dinner. i'm looking forward to tonight though. then i would be seeing him again. haha.. dear boy, i just wanna let you know i love the fact that you plan things for us to do together. love the fact tt we got identical socks, and u intend for us to get similar phones. i'm just like a small girl as i was told often. such stuff really makes me happy. =) all in all, nice weekend. love ya to bits!

finally finished album 1. i developed those pictures a long time ago and bought the album even longer time ago and yet, i recently just finished the album. oh, i failed to mention, the album is all on photos before nic went army. so i need to start on album 2 sooon, photos after nic enter army. mark my words and today's date cos who knows when album 2 will actually literally surface.

cooked a quick dinner for the boy before i rushed down to gm's place for dinner. it's the grandpapa's death anniversary. as usual, our family gathering is always @ gm's place and always with her home cooked food. standard pig intestine soup, her special meatballs etc. this time round got crabs and tom yum soup... and brown rice. wad's with healthy brown rice. anyway, i had a good time. ashley still as cute, and i had a short nice fun time with the cousins. it's been that long... since we laughed and talked face to face.

anyway, life is full of this and that. anyone can fill in whatever this and that may mean to any individual person. i was thinking, everyone has a inner rhythem in their life. as a member of the choir once, i remember the conductor once told us. when u are singing a fast song, u should be counting the rhythem in your heart slow. because if u count it fast, u'll end up singing faster than the music. and vice versa tt applies for slow music. anyway, everyone has their own rhythem. but i feel that if u are naturally a fast person, ur inner rhythem must be slow. or else, how do u get to enjoy life, enjoy the sunset, enjoy long walks and the sound of birds and crickets. what ever it may be.. but sometimes life can be enjoyed in a slow way.

however, u cannot take everything slow in ur life.. u got to find some target or goals and work fast for it as well. u can be slow.. but then if u are, dun let ur inner rhythem be as well. or else.. u will never achieve anything or accomplish anything.

hmmm. i'm less than a year closer to my taipei trip. hopefully cousin do get someone by then. my dream double date can!! on holidays summore!!!!

Our first Gold Class movie together. not his first time though. i'm getting expensive so i should stop pampering myself. but it's a nice experience!

i come to realise every step we take, every place we went marks down bit by bit of our memories together. i suddenly wish i had kept a diary since day one we were together so i can have all the details of how things happen and my thoughts and words then. i look forward to making more memories and doing things together with you. =) it's you and you only. always have been, always will be.

our next impt step together. takes quite some courage, but i'm pretty sure i want to do it. it has always been in the plan.

i'm having very serious cramps. one of the worst ever and and not even my hot milo can help. can u imagine, giving birht is claimed to be 10 times worse than this. my last packet of life saver milo from amelia is depleted. long story abt the milo..... but just that amelia left 3 or 4 packets of milo @ my place from the last time she came.. and everytime i used one packet... is to save my life.. from gastric to hunger. all sorts of reasons.

so anyway, given today that i have all rights to be emo, i thought about some stuff. like of all the reasons i envisioned us to break up, this is one of the reason that i nv thought of and yet when i thought of it, it seemed ironical yet so logical. and this is one valid reason where both of us cannot do anything abt it.. it's the view, the beliefs all the differences, maybe even the lifestyle? and very difficult to compromise as well. so.... oh well.

i need another hot chocolate drink! it's hurting so badly

A very very nice weekend spent. Friday night was the commissioning ball. @ Rasa Sentosa. I like the place there... the environment and all... maybe i can have my wedding @ sentosa! =) nice dinner, nice place, nice date and nice night. no complaints about it at all and i would let the pictures speak for themselves.

Sat was celebration for xin's 21st birthday. now i realise actually my house to Aloha Changi is so near and it's even nearer to Bark Cafe, i seriously must go there and try one day. I would have enjoy and eaten more xin's party but i was feeling so sick and all... with the mild headache and horrible sore throat. seriously, i sound darn husky now. i would like to think it's sexy! haha...

Sunday was angel's birthday party. =) BBQ!!! my all time favourite. but due to my throat and all.. i try to restrain abit and all too. i hate the feeling of not being able to indulge and enjoy my food seriously. when would this bad sore throat go away. i cann't even teach now can.... with my voice like that. i don't wanna go off key when i teach my students.

continue wishing me health! =)

i'm like down with something. i don't know what but definitely down with something. or going to be down with something. my throat feels sore.. my head's splitting apart. and not to mention i wake up every morning feeling my whole body's going to break apart. =/

however, this is the first time in my entire life trying to take such good care of myself. i down pi pa gao daily. eat panadol at night. drink so much herbal tea i pee every half an hour. i even went to the extent to avoid fried foood which is sooo torturous!!!! and i even try to sleep early and rest rest rest. gosh... and it's all for my fabulous weekend ahead!! nothing can go wrong!

i really wanna enjoy.... wish me health!

i'm looking forward to this weekend. 2 parties and a ball to attend. =) but before that, i've 3 more tuitions to go to. =/

always expect the unexpected and just when i learnt how NOT to get my hopes high, i have to deal with disappointment again. i thought i learnt, but looks like there's more homework to be done. and when i look into the future, i see more of such "having-to-learn-how-to-deal-with- disappointment" situations. even the heartiest breakfast couldn't cheer me up for long.

i've been addicted these days. since tues i believe, straight after exams. i haven't been able to do constructive things, not even get myself a cocktail to fulfill my fantasy. oh well, i guess i have to give myself a break once in a while and do all non-constructive things.

however, i still manage to stock up my house on food. since i'm going to stay home alot. i'm still giving tuitions. hmmm, i've settled some re-application of cards. packed a little here and there. these are more or less the constructive things i've done. get a little peeved and bitchy over the weekend. i call that constructive, cos i let some steam and finally i saw the light. actually things can be really simple. when i let it go, and just smile over it. haha.. my boy is very proud of himself and cos he managed to strike up convo with my gfs and initiated convo and managed to make them laugh. haha... it's definitely an achievement in his dictionary and i'm very happy also. it's nice to see him enjoying himself while out with us, instead of complaining to me later he's bored and all.

his commission parade is this sat and boy is eddie right. i am proud of him. it's as if it's my son who is going to be commissioned. ahaha.. life couldn't get any better right now. and it can be even better if i get to do constructive things, like get my cocktail.. or make myself happpier.

i was doubting the true meaning of frienship. esp for someone like me... who after a series of bad falls and bad nights, and turn to gfs everytime when i m in pit and esp when gfs help me up when i was down. to me, friendship is something really important and some aspect that i give great importance and priority to. i m still doubting abt friendship and gfs. maybe it's a give and take. while i wan others to prove some stuff to me, i should be proving stuff to them too. ya, leave the doubt there. i seriously do love all my gfs. this prompts a speech tt i'm thinking of making.. hmmm...

finally caught narnia. not in gold class. i can't seem to get anything out from the timings of gold class. hopefully i still get to use them before expiry. anyway, love it and all i can sae is .. it's been 2 yrs and 4 months... ahaha....

life couldn't get any better. =)

seriously when i stepped out of expo hall 4 today, i swore the air smelt so sweeet. it's sad that i cannot plaster a smile on my face like everyone else, because i am alone. so all i could do is kept the aloof look and pretend i m not bursting from the inside! gosh..... liberty, freedom!! here comes shopping and good foood! i simply simply cannot wait for guilt free fun!!!!!!!

OMG... i m just THAT happy. after coming a month of ordeal, suffering and pain. now i got lotsa things to start doing and i think i better make a list. I M SOOOO EXCITED! things to do, people to hang out with and baby's commissioning!! life couldn't get any better today!

thanks for everyone who stood by me for this coming one mth of preparing for exams and exams. thanks for chin and her wake up msges in the morning to get me up to study though half the time not v successful and thanks for amelia who always remind me to bring jacket, cos i sae people who does that are sweet. thanks thanks thanks!! =)
