1st entry of a new beginning

2009-06-26T12:16:00.004+08:00

Today marks the 7 years we've been together, and 2 days later it will be a new chapter of our lives. I'm glad we've overcome those events, that threatens this, with our love and patient. As long as I know the girl that I marry is the one I'll love forever and she too loves me, nothing can pull us apart.
When is the next chapter coming? hopefully soon, when little Jimmys and Brendas are here.. :P

bren mum birthday

2007-11-03T13:30:00.000+08:00

wednesday was bren's mum birthday so went out to celebrate at katong there to eat.
it was a special day not because of the birthday celebration but somthing that happened.. read galgal's blog at http://0percentangel.blogspot.com/

it was surprising and happy because all along i knew she didn't like me but maybe she realise i'm a good person liao :P

ok la.. time to work hard to fill the wallet and marry galgal. since i more or less got a verbal approval form her mum liao :P

I wanna get married too... =.=

2007-10-27T01:45:00.000+08:00

Got to know thru a colleague cum fren's blog that her bf has proposed, felt so happy for her! 爱情长跑 leh! Really congrats her from the bottom of my heart... =)

Then look back at myself... Haiz... Dunno gonna wait till when le... Its been a long wait too, 64mths and counting. I mean, he can probably propose anytime, but we wun be able to get married yet. Financially, we are still not able and not ready yet.

I know I'm such a shopaholic and spendthrift sometimes. I do really wanna save up for our future, but sometimes when I see he's hardly saving up too, it just makes me feel "argh, WTF... why should I bother"... Tears in my eyes again when I'm typing this. As much as it will probably hurt him, it hurts me even more. At least 4-5 weddings I have attended this year, all younger or same age as me. Look back at myself, 25 and counting, still nowhere near any wedding bells (my own I mean).

So many problems, so many wishes, so many dreams, so little vitamin M... Sigh... When is it gonna be my turn or will I even get a turn?

I'm still waiting and trying very very hard not to give up. BUT there is a limit to my patience, time and youth. Max 3 more yrs, if things gonna still be the same, I'll walk away with my head high, no more tears this time... I'm serious...

weekend eat eat & eat post :P

2007-09-30T02:34:00.000+08:00

friday galgal on leave so she, as usual, went to her former office to meet wendy&meilin for lunch eat koko mee. but i was bz with work so meet her only at 4pm then dinner at FINS at marina sqr. ate the usual loh, sama sama like my previous posts.

But today(sat), today different liao. went to far east plz but never eat chix rice at the top floor one. Maybe we just ate that ladt week..hmm. so walked around and saw "Sakura Thai" muslim outlet. galgal nvr tried b4 so went in. the staff machiam like having PMS like that, all sulky face one. Maybe all is muslim and can see, smell and touch food but cannot put inside mouth? that's why they under alot of stress. or maybe it's jst PMS la, since all are gals, who knows :P.
anyway, heng our food come properly. we ordered fried fish with dark sauce, mixed vege, pandan chix, tomyamfried rice for me and pineapple rice for galgal. why never order hot food since in thai restaurant? because galgal got tummy cramps la, if eat hot food only, she'll go do bombing runs almost immediately :P

1st the chilli sauce, the food can be average but if the sauce is good, food quality can be overlooked. :P the chilli sauce here is special and tasty, combination of sour, sweet and hotness but not sting-y.

Galgal's pineapple fried rice inside pineapple wor.. long time seldom see liao. usually most ppl nowadays just fried rice with pieces of pineapple. this one authentic one.

See alot of "liow", got pieces of chix inside. definitely worth it ---->

Next is the pandan leaf chicken, this dish is at most ok when u 1st look at it then u wonder, eh what is that mayo sauce doign there? because usually we eat elsewhere bo mayo sauce one. then galgal peel of the leaf and reveal red "otah-like" chix meat inside, put inside mouth really tender and soft. but once dip into the sauce and it tastes excellent, the mayo and chix really compliment each other! whoever discover of cameup with this is brilliant.. very brilliant

Next special dish is my tomyam friend rice.. hmm it's special but not as fantastic as the above 2 dish. it got that tomyam taste but without the sourness and spicyness. Could do with more prawns and liow loh. :P

The rest of the dish quite normal, the fried fish with dark sauce is good, fish is deep fried but its meat is soft and juicy.

But the vege is disappointing, saltish though alot of "liow".

So sat over liao.. but no fear tmr sunday! one more day of food! yumyum.. we may put on a few kg over this weekend.. so next week think must eat less liao.. so since tmr last day to eat more.. Botak jones here we come! :P

Wedding Plans... Not...

2007-09-09T10:40:00.000+08:00

It seems that for the past year, people around me have been getting married. From ex-classmates to ex-colleagues, frens etc... I can practically hear/see wedding bells ringing every 1-2mths. Its burning a big hole in my pocket but on a serious note, really happy for them that they found their SO and happiness.

It also makes me wonder when will it ever be my turn and ponder if its really gonna happen at all. Sometimes, it seriously doesn't feel good at all. Its been 5yrs and 2mths odd in this r/s and my youth is fading away bit by bit. How do I know? I can feel/see it... I used to be able to survive with only 3-4hrs of sleep, now 4-5hrs of sleep only will make me yawn the whole day and cranky. I used to only have the occasional small pimples and pretty ok complexion, now I have pimples outbreak everyday and my complexion sucks with lines starting to appear. Surely and slowly losing confidence in some things too.

People used to ask me abt our ROM/wedding plans. I used to reply ROM on 26.06.08, wedding on either 19.09.2009 or 20.09.2009 happily with confidence. Now? I just reply no idea or maybe not getting married. Why? No specific reason, looking at things now, I have no idea and confidence where this is heading to. Definitely not marriage in the short term. Maybe a breakup will be earlier before you can ask when's the wedding bells ringing?

I'm honestly sick and tired of it sometimes and ask myself if this is what I want? Much as I love him, much as he's still the only choice if it comes to marriage. But I don't know how long I can/want to wait.

I'm tired... Tired of waiting, tired of seeing things not being fufilled, tired of crying to sleep every night, tired of dreaming...

Flat? ROM? Wedding dinner? Just a wish/dream/illusion now... Shattered...

Prelude to Galgal birthday

2007-08-02T03:55:00.000+08:00

Had popiah session at tzuen's houseon Sunday and galgal enjoyed herself tremendously because she really liked making her own popiah and tzuen's family tradition is to have alot of ingredients type. I think she ate more than me this time round.. think it was 5? :P
So galgal had a new look, she cut short her hair on sat. you can goto her blog to see her new look. she definitely look better right? Of coz alot of other ppl said so too.
Today her mum and sis gave her an early surprise birthday present, not really surprise la beause her mum actually called her and ask her where is "SK Jewellery" which gave the game away.. keke. But it was a big thing for galgal because this is the 1st time her mum actually made effort to get a birthday present for her. previously it was just an angbao, a stark contrast of what her mum wil do for her sis's birthdays. So this time galgal was really really happy becaus she felt that her mum and sis finally realise her presence in the family.
Today one of galgal colleague, who is a christian, gave her a tract and it has several options for u to tick what u wanna pray for. galgal chose "friends and family" and passed it to me to pray on her behalf because she was sortof in a limbo about this because she didn't believe in religions in all her life. but her intentions was really to hope for the good of her friends and family. But the fact that she didnt outright reject her colleague so maybe it was a good sign. So I will pray tonight on her behalf and also pray for her..

Movie Review - Knocked up

2007-07-22T01:35:00.000+08:00

thought galgal would blog about this but she say i review better.. so here goes..
M18 ah, so the review is also rated M18. under 18s shoo shooo..
it is a comedy, it's about a female background journalist whose life is going swee swee, then got promotion and she's going onscreen. But it gets seriously wrong when she go celebrate with her older sis and had a too much alcohol then ONS with a "no real job" slacker resulted in an unwanted pregnancy because she said "get on with it" when he was trying to wear the rubber. So he put it in without wearing it, bad move xia. So sometimes gals when they very horny also never use their brains one :P . Then 8weeks later she found out she kena loh, not 4D ah. then he knows about it and decides to do the honourable thing by trying to marry her, but they hardly know each other and alot of funny things but true-to-life situations happen loh. got touching bits and in end got happy ending loh.
So a good movie to bring a date to la, maybe gals can bring their Bfs who refuse to wear rubber o go watch :P Makes them think twice after watchin..keke.

15th Jul'07 & 21st Jul'07

2007-07-22T01:00:00.000+08:00

15th Jul'07

Met up with Tzuen and Ken Meng for lunch at Fish & Co. Glasshouse. Apparently, they now have the lunch menu which actually has less stuff compared to the full menu.

We ordered Jungle Freeze to share, our fav Lemon Garlic Butter Mussels and Fried Calamari. Tried their Seafood Chowder... It was superb! Creamy and thick with real ingredients, yummy! Had veggies and clams etc in it and no fishy smell/taste. Tzuen and Ken Meng had Fish & Chips, while me and Hubby shared Seafood Platter for 2. The servings were huge, wonder why... But the food was great! Always prefer the food at the Glasshouse.

Took a couple of pics except for the main courses, was too hungry and looked too good to forget all abt it. After the filling lunch, we asked Tzuen to help take a pic of me and Hubby outside where there is the "LOVE" letters thingy.

After pic, went to Cathay to watch... Harry Potter! Yeah! Have been waiting so long for this, hehe. Movie was nice nice and Hubby shall elaborate abt tt... Hehe... My own movie reviewer~

Went Tzuen's place for dinner after movie, I was kindda lazing ard mostly cos kindda tired while the guys were playing/discussing games. Dinner was nice tempura and white wine, first time I had such a combi. Thks, Shan, for the wine, nice~ Watched a movie on DVD after dinner and went home.

21st Jul'07

A rainy lazy day... Meet up with Tzuen at Sim Lim's Killiney to have my lunch. Curry chicken with french loaf, my utmost fav, yum yum. But the auntie's service sucks. Yucks, absolutely hate her till I "gin"her. After lunch, went to buy Tzuen's stuff, some power supply thingy I suppose? Dun really know the exact term, lol. Headed to PS after that for movie session. "Knocked Out" - M18 movie... Hehe... Let's say there's a bit of nudity/sex stuff, pretty hilarious and sweet at some parts though.

After movie was makan session again at Tzuen's place. BBQ~ Yum yum... I'm turning into a glutton! There were sambal stingray (I love spicy food), satay, prawns (!!!!), ketupat and sweet potatoes etc. A pity that the uncle selling the satay was apparently unwilling to give/sell more peanut sauce. Had a nice dinner and its DVD time again, hehe. Forgot the title of the show, but pretty funny/nice too. Have not finished watching it cos I needed to get home, so gonna watch finish when I got the time.

Well, that's all for long, shall leave the movies' review to Hubby.

Thks Tzuen and family for the nice dinners! Whatever happened to my slimming plans!??! =p

Movie Report : Men In White

2007-06-10T02:07:00.000+08:00

Watched "Men In White" this afternoon at Cathay, decided to watch it after watching the funny promotional cut-scenes on TV. Almost was late for the movie coz galgal's watch was 10mins slow, heng never miss much, heng coz cathay starts movie on time one, unlike $#@$@ GV. so remember that.

Not will smith wearing white suits blasting aliens la, it's another no logic, funny show, those type of ang moh don't understand type of singaporean humour with lots of hokkien and mix of english & mandarin & surprisingly, cantonese. the show begins with a gal;s encounter with ghost while taking a lift. ha! remember that lift scene in "The Eye"? something like that, but not exactly, but it will definitely make u think twice about taking the lift alone.... hehehee. Then the whole narrative driven show is about 5 ghosts' "living" together loh. Can;t tell you the details hor, have to watch the show. There's this one hokkien character which we like best, a hokkien speaking lao beng, his actions and the way he speak definitely set the whole audience laughing, i feel that he is half the movie la, without him, the movie die 1/2 liao. from the 1st scene that he appeared in, everyone start lauffing liao :P

The parts that i didn't like are the 2 singing/rapping parts in cantonese, not that i don't understand it, but i feel that it's not necessary loh, and bore the show. I thought once ok, but again a 2nd time, I was WTF. Then why cantonese leh, sngaporean shows should be hokkien, malay, english, and more hokkiens mah. Na Beh. :P

ok la, catch the show in the movies la, because if u missed it and watch it on TV, it's gonna be all mandarin..... ZZZzzz. u know la, just like how they dubbed all the hokkiens in the Jack Neo movies when they show on TV.

2nd thoughts...

2007-05-15T11:23:00.000+08:00

Getting married? Maybe nope... Not at the moment at least...

Breaking up? Maybe... Considering...

Tired? Yes... Very...

Heartache/pain? Definitely...

Regrets? Never...

Lost? Very...

Ah Beng Returns!! yeah~

2007-05-13T01:40:00.000+08:00

today finally watch ah beng returns liao! should be watch on 5thMaybut "sum1" loh, have to spoil our plans then heng heng last day still got tix.

The production is still hell as funny loh, spoofs of the musicals broadway, phantom of the opera then touch on the topic of casino gambling, family gathering which includes aunties asking when u getting married and having kids la. true loh, since me and bren experiencing the same things also. throughout the whole show, the audience just laugh nonstop,. now abit less ang mohs la, but still have, i still pity them loh. but the surprising thing is got aunties and ah mm come watch also. that "ehh kia" pauline lauff the most la. then after the show keep asking "next one when huh?"

some pics taken during the autograph session after show,

the gals with the main lead, "Ah Beng" Sebastian Tan.

Happy New Year 2007!

Ohh and about that 'urgent' thing galgal mentioned after the movie last nite, it's not about us being horny ah.. u dirty minded ppl. :P

30th Dec~31st Dec'06... Happiness

2006-12-31T23:52:00.000+08:00

Went out with Hubby yesterday to Marina Square to collect our movie tix. Been a long long time since we watched a midnight show. We planned to watch at GV Vivocity intitally but they only had Curse of the Golden Flower which we had watched and 2 other horrer shows (to me).

In the end we watched Confession of Pain. Alright, not too bad though I felt some scenes were too bloody for me. *freak out* We collected the tix in the evening, headed to Fins to enjoy the oysters. But ended up with overdose of food and me a tummy ache. Sigh. Went on to Suntec to walk around and spent the last hr before the movie sitting at Starbucks sipping coffee.

The movie ended at 2+am and we had intedned to take the night bus home initially. But dunno why after the movie, we were so urgent (ya know what I mean)? We had to take a cab to relieve ourselves. And eh, u dun anyhow think. I mean our bladders could not take it anymore.

Its actually an ordinary day for us, nothing much special probably except that I was staying over at Hubby's place. But well, we spend the last day of the yr together. No countdown for us this yr though, sigh...

Jack & the 'dao gay'

2006-12-16T11:54:00.000+08:00

Sometime last month we saw a promotonal gig of a local musical "Jack & the Bean Sprout" at Tampines Mall, since it stars the same guy as "Broadway Beng" which we enjoyed very much, so bought tix. The musical's held at the new National Library and got a drama centre on the 3rd floor, 1st time for us.

Btw the musical is a parody of "Jack and The Bean Stalk".
The muscial was soo nice, very localised jokes, some adult jokes, some mix of singlish and mandarin, fun interaction with the audience, and very funny all together. But I pity the ang moh families who brought their really young kids, I'm sure they thought that it was a kids show. Well, so wrong, the kids seem bored mid-way through the show because they didn't understand the singlish/dialect jokes and the adult jokes, don't know whether that is a good thing anot hor.. hmm.

On our way out, saw a few more ads on other local productions.. hmm, maybe should give them a try.

Autograph Session after the show.->

Some catchin up~ Sexpo, and new hair style

2006-12-16T11:19:00.000+08:00

wow didn't know it has been soo long since i blogged, mainly because of work la.. working for oneself definitely not easy, especially when things starts to get busy. But what to do, need to work for galgal&me's future mah. Sorry la galgal, maybe u think i've neglected you but no loh, I still love you so so much. *muackz*

Ok Sent to the Sexpo this year here's the proof :P
Sorry didn't take fotos inside because there's a big signboard that says 'No Cameras'. the whole thing just took one hall of suntec convention so it ain't big, and the exhibitors aren't something that you haven't seen on the streets eg. 'House of condoms'. Half of the exhibits are about s*x-toys and other aids(which i don't need them of coz!). And the other half are Spas and insurance.. sheesh, somehow somwhere everywhere, sure got irritating insurance/financial advisors booth.
The main attraction of the show is definitely Kumar's performance, cross-dressing, adult jokes and somewhat racist-but-acceptable jokes were somethings that he can do so well and make people laugh. Galgal definitely enjoyed it.

Oh oh.. before we went sexpo, galgal went to visit her favourite hair-dresser, Mr Kai of Reds and become $200+ poorer, as usual. She wanted to get that Lucidol ad haircut in the mags, and here's the result.. well as long as she's happy.

Vivo City - 2nd Visit

2006-11-14T00:52:00.000+08:00

Went to watch a movie, "Singapore Dreaming" at Vivo City with Hubby. I didn't think much of the movie initially becos it somehow gave me the impression that its just another movie abt Singaporeans chasing after the 5Cs. But... Though this was one of the topics, it actually also touched on kinship quite a lot which was so close to reality and especially true for me in some ways. In fact, it had me in tears at some parts of the movie. Parents' biasness towards the younger sibling was something that I could totally relate to.

After the movie, we walked around deciding what to eat and decided on a Kuolo mee shop. Ordered mee, fish soup and curry chicken noodles. The fish soup came with 4 thick slices of abalone, big prawns and fresh fish!!! Plus the drinks (refreshing luo han guo with longan and ice cofffee), its only $25.60!!!

The meal was filling but I was craving for some sweet stuff, so got a eclair and cream puff from Beard Papa and on the way back to Hubby's place, got some soya beancurd from Mr Bean too. Yummy~

Only thing that I was kindda sad was we spent very little time today together thouh I was on leave. Hubby's customer called him for an emerncy and we met up at only 4+pm, mins before the movie started and we went back around 7+pm to 8pm. And I was home by 10+pm... Sigh... Tmr is ym last day of leave le, but we are not meeting and Hubby is still busy with work... Guess I took leave on the wrong days and he seems to be unhappy with me cos he kept repeating Monday a lot of cock ups, wrong day to take leave etc... It really broke my heart and I felt that he's getting colder and colder towards me...

Vivocity: 1st visit

2006-10-24T11:03:00.000+08:00

Went to Vivocity during the weekend to see what's this hype of the 'biggest mall in sg' all about. The train was filled when we board at Serangoon, we thought it was just the deepavali crowd going to little indian and they would alight at little india, but wait, seems the crowd was mostly non-indians... must be the typical curious singaore crowd that want to see the mall 'for the 1st time'. So everywhere we go today will be this crowded and it could only get worse when we reached the mall. Apparently, at best, the mall was just half-opened, expected as the official grand-opening is on 1st Dec.
After the long journey, hungry liao and it's pass lunch time, we settle for Thai express since got some new dish which we have not tried before at other outlets. Wanted to order the new clay fish dishes but seems like all the clayfish sold out liao.. ok it's only 2pm, maybe they had only 5 in the fridge. Nvm, galgal settle for softshell crab with glass noodles. Me, honey chicken and also ordered prawn toast and chicken ball with glass noodle soup.

All these new dishes turned out nice.

After lunch, time for walk around the mall. 1st impressions, yes it's big, but to me it's just all the possible retail outlet you could find in other malls all gather into this big mall one. To galgal, it's a new shopping haven. ;(

This mall has got actually quite a number of places for kid to drench themselves. The fountain at the entrance of the mall, reminds me of the bugis junction one, and the big pond/shallow pool at roof top garden.

After galgal spend money, happy and tired liao, we took a cab home and had dinner at her home kopi shop. End of a tired day...

The Premeire @ Tampines, my dream home

2006-10-09T17:51:00.000+08:00

Went to view the showroom ytd, lotsa ppl and queued abt an hr or so. Got the booklet and saw the layout. I prefer the A1 ;ayout which is the 4-room one, but the showroom had only the 5room, so I supposed its gonna be much smaller.

BUT still, I fell in love with it. I really liked it so much I felt it was the ideal home for me immediately. But knowing we could not afford it, I kindda spent most of the afternoon and evening sulking abt it... Sigh, guess we can nvr afford it...

I hate being poor.... Sob sob...

lost n not found.. sad sad

2006-08-27T01:25:00.000+08:00

Today is a sad day.. sad day for me. Went to Orchard as usual to eat chix rice@ far east.. then walk walk till paragon.. had a shit there then walk around for about an hour then realise my PDA not in my bag. Might have drop/left it in toilet when shitting.. shit la, walked around whole building, asked cleaners, observe ppl who's playing with pda.. nothing, informed information counter of the lost.
not really hopeful, just very depressed now coz i need it for work then now at a lost, coz really don't want to waste money like that.. haiz.. that PDA had served me for 2yrs, could have lasted me another 3. feel like *piak myself..

Early B-day celebration on 12th Aug!

2006-08-13T12:30:00.000+08:00

Yup yup, its my b-day! I'm still so happy with last night and feeling good.

Met up with the gals at City Hall aounrd 5+ to 6+pm and ate some desserts at BakerzIn. Light and yummy tapas, the satisfying and delicious warm chocolate cake, its almost like heaven. Hehe. Sat around till abt 7pm before proceeding to Aria @ Esplanade for dinner cos the reservation is at 7.30pm and their waiting time is 5 mins only. On the way there, lotsa ppl were heading to the Esplanade too to catch the last fireworks show this week.

Reached there ard 7.25pm and settle down. Took a long time deciding what to have.

Starters:
Me & Meilin - Mushroom Capuccino & Scallop, Jolene & Charlene - Tiger Prawn Bisque, Hubby - Scallop
Comments:
Mushroom Capuccino - Its basically mushroom soup (taste is similar to the one at Soup Spoon but not as thick) with foam on top, hence the name. Not too bad though, as its not too heavy till it'll fill you up.

Tiger Prawn Bisque - Could taste the prawn in the soup, but found ti a tad too strong and salty though.

Scallop - 1 scallop nicely seared on a bed of rice with tomto sauce. Quite refreshing, something I nvr tried before and the scallop is pretty fresh.

Main Course:
The gals all chose Seafood Hotpot and Hubby chose Cod.
Comments:
Seafood Hotpot - Mussels, tiger prawns, clams & scallops in a diluted tiger prawn bisque. The seafood were fresh and did not have a fishy smell like some places. The tiger prawns were really big and juicy (think its Charlene's fav of the nite, hehe). First time eating something like this too, yum yum.

Cod - The serving was quite generous, fish meat was thick and firm, not hard and flaky. Kindda tasted like steamed fish to me though.. But overall not bad, the sauce had some mushroom slices in it, so really reminded me of the Chinese steamed fish.

Dessert:
Another warm chocolate cake! This was a mini version with sorbet (can't rmb wat flavour, but had some vodka in it). This was also my b-day cake, hehe. Pleasntly surprised actually cos I did not know Hubby had planned this beforehand.

In between the maincourse and dessert, we went out to watch the fireworks at 9pm, it was so beautiful! Took lotsa pics and hands and neck were aching later after looking up and taking pics for abt 10-15mins. After the show, went back to Aria to chill out cos there were so many ppl gog home.

That was when the dessert appeared! Apparently, Hubby had planned this ytd and I was kept in the dark, cheeky fellow. We sat ard and drank ice water and catched up with each other cos we are now mostly in different companies and been a long time since all of us met up.

Stayed around till 10+pm and started to head home, walking from Esplanade to Marina Square to grab a cab. But in the end still had to call for cab cos the queue was kindda long and no cabs were coming in.

Ont he way, had a mini "accident". I did not put on my safety belt cos I was sitting in the middkle. We were happily chatting when suddenly I was flung towards the front..Luckily my knees had blocked against the cushion. Seems that the car in front of us had suddenly braked, so the taxi uncle had to e-brake. I tot I was ok cos except a little pain, I didn't feel anthing much. Till I reached home, then I realised a patch below my kneecap where the skin had peeled off. Sob sob.... Thks goodness its not too serious though it still kindda hurts.

All right, that's the "adventures" of my day and the pics are found in the below entry. Enjoy! And thks gals for coming! =)

My 24th B-day

2006-08-13T12:28:00.000+08:00

National Day

2006-08-10T01:25:00.000+08:00

hmm actually shoudn't name this entry that because it's like any other public holiday. No longer have that anticipation to watch the parade/celebration/fireworks when i was a kid, guess seeing too much of 'almost the same thing', 27 times is too boring. haha.
Today we did nothing much, went tampines for lunch@fish&chips, walked around abit then went home and watched the 1st half of the celebration on TV then fell asleep.. wokeup when the fireworks went off. Then thought SG Idol would be more interesting but.. disappointing la.. half the participants don't sound well and the other half sounded ordinary and forgettable and they are famous not because of their sining. Dunno what's wrong with this year's participants haiz..
Tmr planned to look for a place to celebrate galgal's b'day on sat, somewhere where we can see the fireworks also. hopefully can find the ideal place lo..

Shopping spree

2006-08-06T01:16:00.000+08:00

Though S'pore Sale is over, but I'm still shopping. More like I didn't really shop during the sale and shopping now to make up for it instead, lol.

Bought my dream dress finally, a whopping $129.90!!! I tot abt it for like dozens of times and have tried on the dress for at least 6 times before deciding to buy it. Intially, what stopped was the price, after tt it was the fitting, kindda a little figure hugging for me (by tt I mean my buldges of fat, sob sob). And on the last time tt I try, I fianlly lost a bit of fat and fits just nicely. So now must maintain or continue to lose weight, if not I'll look awful in it.

Weekend passed by quickly and its my on day yesterday (Sat). Dreaded it. Sucks and spoils my Saturday. Yucks. Gonna put behind this stupid wk and hopefully the next wk will be a gd one with the PH and it'll be a even better one if my leave is approved. Hoping for the best~~~~

Back liao and love galgal

Me went KL last weekend sat till mon then come back. Me where got abandon galgal.. it's her working weekend and she cannot go also... I also wanted her to go, if not for her mum.. haiz.
Anyway it's hazy there and messy and unsafe lo and we walked around alot so kinda heng heng galgal never go.. if not she sure cannot take the tiredness and heat. Bought alot of things for galgal lo, half priced shavers and neutrogena facial masks, a matching bodyglove polo-t with mine and a spagentti top. See, i where got abandon her :P Anyway we did nothing much there, except walking to/in various shopping malls, watched pirates 2 (non 3-d), on a imax screen, which is mismatched and quite stressing on the eyes and ate satay at a roadside stall along a busy road. for shopping, apart from the cheap food and some cheap daily essential items, everything else is same as SG except maybe a few dollars cheaper. So from now on, we shall save up money and goto KL to buy all the daily neccesities in large quantity in one shot :P

Anyway yesterday(sat) planned to go cycling at East coast but sky seems not too friendly and galgal's contact lens giving her problem so in end shop at parkway and ktv at kbox instead. We definitely not going back to that Kbox outlet again. The staff interupts us every 15mins asking if we want to order drinks and if they can clear our glasses and mics not working well, have to hold on to the bottom connecting part so it will work.. sheesh. Then today met meilin at tampines to show us her aust. holiday photos and pass me macadamia nuts hehe.

Ok la, hope it will be a good week ahead for everyone, esp me and galgal :P

Alone & Abandoned...

He's gone to KL, leaving me here all alone and miserable... Enuff said...

Weekend Report

2006-07-17T15:24:00.000+08:00

galgal's off on sat, so kinda went out early. Then listen to her new creative neeon player, which i bought for her as early birthday present, while on the bus to far east. It just have to be only the chicken rice la then we specially go there for.. but this time no salted-veg duck soup because galgal complain too much to eat liao, but in the end we ordered eggs and extra rice.. haha. Then we went metro for the 20% storewide sale, crazy crowd. The queue at every cashier counter stretches to the other end of the store. galgal bought a pair of day/night loreal thingy and so have to queue loh.. she's still in the queue even when i went to toilet to pang sai and came back. so we spent the whole day at taka/orchard area walking around and buying stuff and went back to far east bus stop to take 518. but waited for an hour still no sight of bus. thought we could avoid the 'raised' taxi fare this weekend but in the end.. haiz. anyway the increased in fare seemed like no effect lo, long queues still exists at taxi stands and people tried to avoid the queue by waiting just before the taxi stand.. surprisingly quite alot of taxis still stop for these disgraceful singaporeans... hope the promised checks(if any) by the taxi companies will result in some improvement soon.

Sunday, have to wakeup early goto beach road hawker centre to buy ikan bilis, 20 packs in total. These includes her mums', galgal's colleagues and mine.. stallkeeper didn't believed me at 1st when i say i want 20 and she packed 2. Went to golden mile afterwards to eat steam boat with galgal's family because her mum kena 4D, think it's consolation. In the end i think she spent more than what she won. Then we went parkway n galgal develop some photos for her colleagues. bought bags of stuff at giants and galgal suddenly crave for the ben and jerry's 'straberry chessecake' ice cream.. sheesh so we walked to a 7-11 and no luck then went to ntuc and luckily found the only tub left. While we were eaiting for cab, serveral kids over took us and took the cabs.. dam i was mad and the hot sun, somehow my frustration made me shout at one of them and they hurriedly board the cab. Really wondering how parents teach their kids these days, or do they even teach them at all? maybe parents of these kids see them as by-products of their sexual life, and didn't care about how they would grow-up.
My children will definitely not like be like that.

Day full of food...

2006-07-09T02:00:00.000+08:00

Finished work earlier than usual today, abt 1.30pm, considered to be early compared to usual!

Met Hubby at Eunos MRT and went to Marina Saquare to eat at Fins. Ordered seafood baked rice for myself, Hubby ordered sirloin steak and we ordered our fav of all times - oysters to share! As usual, oysters were fresh and yummy! Seems that the oysters today are bigger, almost as big as the jumbo oysters!

My baked rice was not too bad, but Hubby's steak was a tad tough though. He had asked for medium-done, but he got it well-done...

Went to shop around for a while and got myself some reading stuff... "Wedding Planner", "Seventeen" and a novel named "Light as a Feather". Oh, and the Singapore Idol mag! Hehe, gonna have some good, fun reading time.

Continued window shopping and tried on a few clothes in the process, but just couldn't find anything suitable. Legs were really tired and sore, we walked to Suntec for a break. Sat down at Anderson's Ice-cream and ordered a "Couple Fondue" to share. Not too bad, but the chocolate became lumpy and hard towards the end.

After "dinner", took a cab home and guess tt's all for the day. Guess Hubby's still playing game with Tzuen and Ken Ming bah, shall call him later to see if we'll be playing Pangya Golf. Good night for now!

Day 4 of galgal's leave

2006-06-30T01:25:00.000+08:00

okok today is the only day which galgal have to actually wakeup earlier because she have a lunch appointment with Wendy. Then me got a call from customer so have to go out early also. Then we meet up and went to Maybank to open a joint account haha.. finally open. Say fo very long want to do liao.. The over process was smooth and funny because we opened the account with all coins hahaa.. all together about 400+ pieces in all forms of coins :P Ok la.. i thought i should pity the gal who serviced us but she got a coin counting machine and charges us $2 for every 200 pieces, so all fair and square liao :P
Then come 3:30pm we goto 'Body Contours' for this couple massage promo that i received from diners. $78 for one session, ok la, it's cheaper than what others are charging. So upon reaching and filled up some forms, we were led to a room with 2 beds that's powered and feels warm, good lo, especially for our almost naked bodies in the aircon, yes galgal have to wear just a paper underwear and me a apir of shorts :P Started off with a scrub, which leaves us all sticky and then steambath in those mini 'looks like' portable shower-with steam bath box type of thing. The steamin was a torture lo, because the steam come out from a vent under my seat and it's burning my ka-chng! lucky galgal switched places with me if not she sure cannot tahan. Then after that she stays behind to shower whereas i must go outside to another shower room because that box is too tiny for 2 to shower... lame. Then after that come the massage, which is the only thing we feel is good lo. The massage is indescribable good lo, maybe because it's our 1st massage haha. Every part of our body rubbed and pressed and relaxed afterwards.. then come the bad part... the oil stays on our body lo. Quite uncomfortable until we bathed @ home. Anyway after the massage, as usual, they tried to sell us some packages and of coz we not tut, never buy anything.
The couple part of the massage promo is actually quite non-existant, because we never get to spend time with each other except in the steam bath which was uncomfortable and fortunately short.. and the 2 of us massage in the same room was actually, we feel, nothing to shout about lo. The whole thing was definitely different from what we imagined, the 2 of us enjoying jacuzzi and forlicking with each other in flower filled tub.. haha. just like the photo featured on the voucher.
Ohh forgot about this in yesterday's entry, galgal bought a creative 'prodikeys' when we passed by the creative store in PS. It's a computer keyboard with piano keyboard attached at the bottom. Galgal kinda for hooked it when she played with the demo set with some of Jay Chou's songs. and since it's not pricey so she bought it lo. Then just now when she come my house to play it, she realise it's not that easy to learn to play a piano.. haha.. ok galgal, time to learn to read the music scrolls 1st!

Superman On Day 3

2006-06-30T00:58:00.000+08:00

yesterday(day 3), we meet up with tzuen, Ken meng and had lunch at 'pepper lunch' @ dhoby ghaut mrt station, kena conned by the pricing on the brochures and price board, because the prices does not include GST yet!! Shock right? A fast food outlet charges gst on top of the printed prices.. wah liew if macdonalds and kfcs have the same practice, we would all go crazy liao lo...
Anyway, it's required by THE LAW to display prices with GST-inclusive, this can be confirmed at https://www.iras.gov.sg/ESVPortal/gst/pfv_gst_c.7.3_price+display+for+goods+and+services.asp
I told Tzuen about it and told him to write this on their feedback form.. like they would read. Nvm I shall remind them again if no changes are done when i drop in for a visit the next time.. haha
Ok, Superman:returns, all the hype but fairly disappointed.. because the storyline totally dismisses the 2nd and 3rd movie.. how can.. feel kinda cheap skate and lazy attempt by the story writers to just try to make another superman movie.. maybe it's easier to make SuperKid after this? anyway, i'm not impressed by the 'return'.

Fruitful Prawn Fishing Trip

2006-06-28T11:56:00.000+08:00

Went prawn fishing yesterday with Hubby, Tzuen and his mum. Reached around 3+-4pm and within 30 seconds, I had got my 1st prawn! But after that, it was damn slow for me...

I seem to be keep getting bites, but when I pull up the rod, the bait is either gone or the prawn has probably let go. Most of the prawns I caught were small compared to before. The 3hrs seems to dragged for me cos I really caought very few prawns, kindda disappointed. When we ended at 7+pm, me and Hubby had caught abt 25-26 prawns while Tzuen and his mum probably got abt 30 I guess. They were very nice to give up their prawns to us and we had a great feast of steamed garlic prawns for dinner! Hehe...

Here's the pic of our day and today, we're gonna watch Superman with Hubby, Tzuen, Keng Meng and Ken Lun. Shall ask Hubby to update tonight!

The day of our 4th Anniversary

2006-06-27T01:36:00.000+08:00

Started off the day by picking galgal up from her home, then took a bus to wisma for lunch. But got off at wrong bus stop, so galgal dropped by paragon and bought a birthday present for wendy from metro. then we walked to wisma for lunch at the food court, atmosphere not bad la, not crowded as usual and we sat near the window where we can overlook orchard road. Foodcourt prices with that type of view, definitely worth it :P After lunch we walked around basement to look for our new couple ring, finally settle for this stainless steel ones at 'bits & pieces'. We thought it was special because we have silver ones and the shine didn't last long so stainless steel, as the name implies, should be better right? anyway it's not expensive for a pair and they can engrave chinese character.. special wor.. so we had our rings done with single character of our names, 'Jie' on galgal's, 'Yun' on mine.

after we collected the rings, went to PS for a movie 'just my luck', romentic/comedy la, so well-suited for the occasion and we enjoyed it. Then went to tak some photo stickers..hahaa.. shich galgal long time haven't took liao.. :P

Nice hor..
Overall an quite but enjoyable and memorable day, basking in each other's company, hope many more in years to come!

4th Anniversary!

2006-06-26T00:16:00.000+08:00

me and galgal 4 years liao! can u believe it? exactly this day 4 years ago, me and galgal professed our love and be together. And it was during the worldcup also..hehee. Galgal gimme a surprise today by giving me a powerpoint animation containing our more memorable pass and present photos.. so sweet hor. I knew she was up to something when she kept asking me to go sleep early last night and waking up early using the pc this morning..
If u wanna look at the animation, just ask me :P
Tmr we're planning to get a new couple ring with engraving done, something unique that we can celebrate this day for.. So look forward to tmr for the rings photo lo..
May me and galgal have uncountable anniversaries to come!

1 more day to 4th Anniversary!

2006-06-25T01:30:00.000+08:00

Time really flies... Its the World Cup time again, abt the same time we got to know each other 4yrs back.

Thinking back, we have been through so much, full of ups and downs. Despite mostly are downs, be it major or minor, I guess we have survive and passed through. We have still chosen to stick by each other through good and bad, we have managed to overcome the obstacles and we are probably start preparing for our big day in a few yrs time.

On a sad note, we probably do not have the means to have a "dream wedding". Nevertheless, its the love between us that matters in the end.

I have been filled with envy whenever I see people ard me getting ROM/married. I hope someday I'll be able to be like them. I wonder when that day will come for me.
I guess age is catching up with me, I'm feeling old already. They are all ard my age and thinking of my own wedding in maybe 3 yrs' time, guess I'll look a wreck already.

I still have many obstacles to go through and I hope I'll be strong and determined enough to endure it all. I'm honestly tired... I have fought so hard for my love for yrs but my mum's objections, harsh words, discouragement, on-off attitude has really tortured me so much that I sometimes wanna give it all up to shut her up. So many times I have been hurt by her words and actions, so many times I have cried silently to sleep. All I ask is for her blessings and understanding... I have been hurt enough once, I don't wanna go through it again, I won't be able to take it anymore.

Just some stuff I wanna tell her though she will never see this:

Dear Mummy,

I was once wrong, I had made a mistake, I had probably created a lot of problems/unhappiness/heartbreak for you because of my carelessness/mistake. But, I have grown up, I'm no younger a teenager who's too head over heels in love to think/plan carefully. I have learnt a painful lesson and I am sure this time round I've made the right choice. I know you want the best for me, I understand that as a parent, you just want to see us to be married to the right man. But... Your idea of a right man (rich, gd job/career etc) might not be my idea of a right man. He's my right man, the only one I still want despite all your objections and prejudice towards us/him. I love you and you're impt to me, just as much as I love him and he is impt to me too. I can't do without either, so pls don't force me to choose cos this time round, I will not give up easily.

I know its not easy, but pls give us time and some understanding. We are both struggling hard for our dreams and plans. We might not have the means now or in the near future, but what matters most is we love each other deeply. Isn't tt supposed to be the most impt thing in a r/s or marriage? We trust each other and we hope to have your blessings someday. Pls do try to see his gd points and what he has done for me. It might be what you want/like, but its all these things that has brought us together and love each other.

I hope 3yrs later, I have your blessings on my big day and that history will not repeat again. I have grown up, pls give me the freedom and respect I deserve. I have been listening to you and following your rules becos I don't want any unhappiness or friction between us. Pls understand I have give in and sacrificed a lot, so pls stop making things difficult for us...

Silent Hill... shivers

2006-06-18T00:41:00.000+08:00

Met up with Meilin and Hubby today to watch "Silent Hill" today, oops I meant yesterday (17th Jun).

We went for lunch first at "Central", ths cafe next to the food court at Tampines Mall. Food was not bad... We shared a porkchop cheese baked rice, nissin noodles with luncheon meat & egg, tofu with pork floss and toast with peanut butter & condensed milk. Food was not bad and including e drinks, cost us abt $12+ each, considered ok bah considering so much food.

After tt accompany Meilin to go Crabtree & Evelyn to shop for body lotion and stuff as she has some discount vouchers. Saw a nail and cuticle cream from the "La Source" (think so) series and still considering wanna buy or not. Its quite ex (to me), 1 small tube costs $28! But there's another package which includes the hand cream and another cream which I can't recall plus a pair of gloves. All these items come with a pretty box also at $45, sounds quite a gd deal. The nail & cuticle cream is not oily and no strong smell/fragranceI tried on one of my nails and seems to work. My nails are really dry and cracking, probbably due to long hours in aircon room. So, this seems like a gd solution to it. I asked my mum for her opinion and she says the package is a gd deal too and if its effective, to go ahead and get it. =) Shall probably drop by tmr to see again and decide.

Went to get a drink and some fruits before the movie and that was all the shivers started. I was hiding under my jacket most of the time and grabbing Hubby's hands tightly. I admit I'm super duper timid when it comes to horror movies, heights, speed, animals etc n etc, the list could go on... It was really gross and bloody till I felt like puking and kept telling Hubby I wanna go home, dun wanna watch leh. Thinking back abt it now still gives me the creeps... *shivers* Anyway, find tt some parts of the stories kindda werid n confusing and the ending doesn't seem like an ending. Yikes... No more part 2 for me if there is any. Scared stiff le.

Wanted to go Starbucks tog et a drink and chat a while before gog home but packed. Went Macdonald, even more packed cos so many ppl were gathered there watching football. First time see so many ppl in a fast food restaurant facing in the same direction and so focused on the TV, pengz. In the end, wetn to KFC which was just opp., and thks goodness, no TV and no football. Phew.... Got some snacks and drinks and discuss abt the movie till 10+ before we headed home as the staff were starting to switch off the lights. Well, that's all for today!

Happy day!

2006-06-11T01:04:00.000+08:00

happy happy so happy! Yesterday galgal gimme a surprise, a philips hi-fi wor, the thin-wallmountable type. She say it suppose to be a birthday present shared by herself, mummy, charlne and meilin but it's out of stock till now. so it became a 'belated' present instead. Then i kinda disappointed when i opened it and wanna set it up after clearing a space for it in my room.. the set looked used lo, there was fingerprints on the sliver buttons, scratches on the bottom and display and the worse, a hole on the speaker netting! wah liew.. it looked like it has been on display for a couple of years liao.. i should have suspect something when i saw the box because it's yellowish and there were several layers of used masking tape used to seal the box.
So I return it to the shop, which galgal's mummy frequent and is near her house, this morning and since they don't keep stocks of it, have to wait for a few more days till they have it changed.. sianz. But i still happy la, that they gimme such a surprise, thanks u galgal muackz hughug.
Then today never do much coz galgal working then have to goto her colleague's home to fix his pc.
Anyway.. happy worldcup 2006!! wahaha 4 years once thingy lai liao, which also means me and galgal 4 years together liao. ya lo, we become together 4years ago also :P Coincidence right? easy to remember mah, every worldcup is our 4 years anni. kekeke.
may me and galgal be in love for as many worldcups as there are. :P

Galgal is back..daddy happy.

2006-06-04T19:18:00.000+08:00

Finally galgal today back from her Co. trip liao.. miz her like crazy.. find that weekend is meaningless and lonesome without her around. Just couldn't do anything the whole day and sleep most of the time because too depressed with her absense.
Hear she didn't enjoy the trip very much because the place was 'ulu' and her colleagues suddenly turned boring. See la her weekend could be so much better with me hor? haha
*muackz galgal*

Memories...

2006-05-28T02:30:00.000+08:00

47 mths and 2 days since we have embarked on this journey of love. Lots of memories have been flashing back in my mind recently. The ups and downs, the tears and joys, the sweet and bitter, the lovey dovey moments and the quarrels.

Have time really passed by so quickly? I was still a gal who had hit my my big 2, still behaving n toking like a lian, smoking and cursing mostly when I had met him. Today, I'm hitiing 24 in a few mths time, quit smoking and no longer curse & swear as much unless I'm really provoked or pissed off. I guess I have changed so much, but has he changed? YES...

He has loved me more, dote on me more, care for me more, give in to me more, touched me more (not physically for goodness sake, my heart). What has become less? Our squabbles, tears, unhappiness and time together. So I guess this is for the better?

Not sure if its becos I'm becoming older or I have become more sentimental/sensitive recently? Just simple sweet nothings and his voice makes my heart flutter all over again as if the first time we held hands, our first hug, our first kiss, our first "I love U", our first ..... Holiday. Wat were ya thinking abt? Notti notti. =p

It was just like yesterday. Its so funny tt till now I still blush sometimes when he gives me surprise pecks or hold me closely and whisper I love u. Guess that all means tt I still got the hots for him? Lol? Gosh, I sound like a teenage gal madly in love. But yup, half true, cos I'm madly, deeply, truly, devotedly in love with him. My dearest/closest Hubby/Daddy/Boy... Chopped by me as Pte Property and Trespassers shall be executed. Be warned... *evil grin*

I'm still touched and tears still well up when I recall the first time he gave me a diamond ring and proposed. The first time he sang "Di Yi Ci" and "Truly" to me. The first time he gave me roses. We reaching our 48th mth anniversary soon, 4yrs in all. I hope that we'll be closer to our goal and 3yrs later we will be blogging abt our wedding if all turns out well....

kena aeroplane..

2006-05-14T01:42:00.000+08:00

hmph! angry with meilin for tua'ing us and put us aeroplane, initially say wanna meet @ bugis to get charlene's gift but last min say cannot meet us because her mum last min then say need to attend a vesak day celebration. crap loh, if really need to attend such religious event it should have been a yearly event mah, expected one, not last min mum say go then no choice must go type.
anyway me and galgal went to bugis and filled our tummy with sakae sushi goodness for lunch before we embarked on our quest. bought a piglet keychain, mug, pen which lights up(kid stuff, but galgal thinks it's nice) and a handphone pouch, all got piglet on it la. then dunno how to wrap all the stuff so wanted to get a precious moment box, almost $15. but i thought the box ok la, nice and can reuse.. then we go next door and found a cheaper box at $6..keke onz liao lo. galgal say abit orrbiangz, but cheap what.. then buy ribbon and go home.
galgal wrapped all the small stuff before putting in the box.. abit extra la, but galgal like that way so ok lo. then galgal blur mode activated, dunno how to tie the ribbon round the box hahaa.. so I tie lo..
How the hard part is when to pass the thingy to ah char, she everytime last min then got time
one, if not last min suddenly say no time, like the above mentioned like that. see how la, if she never take, then i take and use the mug for my kopi.

Election Day

2006-05-07T01:41:00.000+08:00

First time voting in the whole of my 23+ yrs wor! Went ard 1pm to vote, the process was very fast since there were not ppl ard. It took less than 5mins I presume. On the way out, saw Mah Bow Tan and the other candidates had just arrived and passed by them. First thought that came to mind... Eh, not very tall hor? =x

After tt, had lunch with Hubby at the coffeeshop opposite the primary school that I had to vote at. Business was good cos probably it was lunch time and most ppl were having their lunch their since its so near to the voting station. We had fried carrot cake & char kwey tiao... Food sucks, argh...

Went to take bus to Hubby's place after tt and bought 2 duck drumsticks from 2 different stalls for 2nd lunch cos we were not really full, haha. Both cost the same price ($4!!!), but size and outlook almost totally different.

Stall A (I choose one) was bigger and skin was more crispy. The meat was juicy and not dry and even the fats was not the kind which made you feel nauseous after eating. It made me felt craving for more and sauce perfectly complemented the meat. Yummy yummy!

Stall B (Hubby choose one) was smaller and skin was not as crispy. Tasted like any other duck meat. The fats made me feel like vomitting, arghz... Didn't feel like eating anymore after a few mouthfuls. Yikes... Will nvr buy from there anymore liao....

Had a nap at Hubby's place after tt cos was feeling real sleepy and woke up ard late evening and had dinner. Kaoz, think i really eat too much today. Had a fever and felt really bloated after tt. Took 2 Panadol Extra pills and still felt my head hurting after tt. Only when I had reached home then I got better and now I'm alright already.

No plans yet for tmr. Still thinking if I should go trim my hair... Hmmm.... Shall let him update bah!

Galgal's Sunday

2006-05-07T00:55:00.000+08:00

why galgal's sunday leh? because today suppose to go eat some special food one, but in the end goto far east then she did her nails. Atually no solid plans in the beginning, then decided to goto suntec for 'The Rice Table' for dinner, reach town quite early so end up in far east 1st. she saw one good offer for mani and pedicure, $38 for both. so she tempted then initially k k say dunwan, but when i saw 'i wait for u lo', she chiong inside liao.. :P
Seems like only one person is doing the work only and she's expecting, and the guy who attended to us should be her husband, need to wait one hour so we go walk walk 1st.. we came back and she say not feeling well to do both so ok la, we feel she quite poor thing, so do mani only. the whole thing must have be quite long because it's the 1st time i go out with galgal and can sleep for 1+ hour :P
at the end, seems like she and galgal become very 'gum', galgal happy also. she gave galgal a voucher and charge $22 for the mani.. galgal sure will come back again one. ok la, she seemed nice also, dunno next time come back will she still be here anot or in KK hospital liao..haha
Anyway, ended the day happy at Orchard 'The Rice Table', eat full full take taxi go home. Everyone happy... the end of May Day holiday.

Long Weekend

2006-05-01T11:36:00.000+08:00

Yeah! Long weekend wor, so happy! But today last day liao, haiz...

Sat - 29/Apr
Went to Parkway and the optician gave me green light to wear contact lens le. But I still kindda fedup of their explanation loh. Anyway, it will be the last time I will ever go back to them loh. Kaoz, so established yet sucks.

After tt went to have lunch at Crystal lunch or rather high tea at tt timing. Food sucks & service sucks. Worst experience I ever had at a Crystal Jade restaurant, vow not to go back there again. Yucks. Went to Marina Square after tt, shop shop ard but didn't buy anything. After window shopping, went to Fin's to have dinner. The oysters are still as tasty as b4, yummy! Think I could eat a dozen on my own, LOL.

Sun - 30/Apr
Went Tampines and met up with Meilin for lunch. Waited so damn bloody long for the dessert loh and it doesn't taste gd at all... Haiz, why food during the past 2 days seem to sucks huh?

After makan, went to do GMask wrapping for my hp. Wp, heartpain, $38!!! Can buy my Guess bracelet liao. Sob sob... But luckily not too bad lah. Only thing is my screen being covered. Hubby & Meilin both say they will remove the screen one, but if remove like wasted leh. Shall bear with it for a while first bah, see how it goes.

Then came the hilarious, exhuasting "adventure" at Popular. Hubby wanted to buy someclear folders & I wanted to buy my Chinese romance novels. He went on to fidn his stuff, while I looked for my novels. There was a promotion at 4 for $10 and so I decided buy a series of 4 stories. The prob was the books were all messed up and thus we had to search every pile and looked like staff working there trying to re-arrange the books. We were excited whenever we found a book that belong to part of a series. In the end, we had 3 piles of novels from each series, all short of 1 novel to complete. Haha. Finally after all the hard work, we got 3 books from 1 series and another story on its own to make up 4 books.

Went home after tt and sorta lazed around the whole day. Have not planned what to do today yet. Shall ask Hubby bah and he will update for today, hehe...

Galgal Lost HP and found

2006-04-27T20:52:00.000+08:00

sory forgot to put this in, and quickly, galgal almost lost her K750I last sat!! she got work, then came to meet me in city hall to watch a play at victoria hall, so she dropped her phone in the cab that she came in. she only realise her hp not with her when we were havin dinner at the food court. thought siao liao, sure lost, she become frantic and worried.. I thought bo bian lo, then she's so worried that her mum will torture her with her mouth and not let her sleep because this will be the third or forth phone that she will lose. then I suggested we rushed to carrefour and get a phone and bluff her mum say i bought a new phone for her.. so I paid in cash and cab-rushed( new word that I made! haha) to watch the play.. didn't enjoy much la because of the phone incident. but heng heng, the guy, who picked up the phone, responsed my sms and called me back. hah! cab-rushed again to meet him, the funny thing is i dunno he want money for the money or worse, he downloaded the pics in the fone and do funny things with them, so i told galgal to stay put while i go meet that guy.
My worries were unfound as he just returned the phone and rushed to watch EPL match.. haha. I just shoke his hand and thanked him lo.. heng ah.. really heng.. gotta thank that guy again as he must be battleling the thought of selling the phone and returning it..
so now galgal must sell her old phone.. anyone want a 10 months old Sony Ericsson K750I can call me hor,

Got la, sure got wedding!

2006-04-27T20:24:00.000+08:00

of coz have la, then why do you think i was so busy with setting up my new business, getting clients and yet doing night job which leaves less than 4 hrs of sleep for this whole month, almost everyday?
of coz it's to earn enough to marry galgal right? then what else? wedding alone need so much $$, then chinese wedding dinner also need $$$, then dunno how much her mum wan also.. scarly $$$$$$ haha. If i really wanted a void deck wedding hor, then I just rent a few tables and use boxes to make a stage and ask my malay neighbour to cater for the guests' mee siam and nasi lemak then can liao right? what for i work so hard. I still upset with galgal spending $1.4k on her massage package lo.. hmph.
Back track abit what happen during the month, since seems like got blog entries missing.
Ok, 1st my birthday, nothing exciting and new but it's what i like to do, prawn fishing! haha. went back to the eact coast pond, surprise to see it's the same operator as the one i knew. Asked him what happened and he told me the long story.. anyway never listen much la, just wanna make sure he still remembers me and give me my status as a regular hehee.. we caught almost 40 and went home to steam them..yummy! quiet and simple birthday.. that's what i like. atleast i didn't get drunk and don't remember what happened. kekeke.
then comes one week later, KTV session with family, charlene as usual late late late!! actually it's mis-comm la, galgal msg'd meilin instead of char to inform her about the meeting place and timing. but finally got to cineleisure K-box and spent 3 hours there. after that had dinner at some funny restaurant which serves very large portions of starters and each starter comes with a large portion of salad..sheesh. each of us order the set meal which comprise of the starter, main and drink. but the starters fill up our tummies pretty quick and the gals practically never touch their main course.. guess who did the honour of not wasting food? poor me lor.. haiz. al that training gone to waste in a day.. then that galgal keep complaing my tummy becoming bigger.. ironic right?
yesterday was the 46th month of me and galgal together, 2 more months 4 yrs liao leh. hmm if not meant to be together one, by now sure 'up lorry' or become bored liao. but now no have leh, we still wanna do things together, still have things to talk.. so what does that mean? go back to the 1st paragraph of this entry.. hehee.

Wedding Date?

2006-04-27T19:56:00.000+08:00

Bumped into his frens a few days back and were told that their wedding will be held on 07-07-07 (soyunds James Bond kindda thingy)... So good... Envy them so much and yet dunno when our wedding will ever become a reality?

Maybe it will never come... Why do I say so? Always say 3 yrs, but every year also say the same things... How many more 3 years do I have to wait? I'm not getting younger and now I dread/fear the months and passing away... Every year I feel and fear that I will be disappointed yet again... Maybe I'm not worth the effort? So easy to say yet so difficult to fufill... He doesn't even plan to get married exactly when, we dun have any concrete plans at all. If this r/s is leading to nowhwere, maybe I should give up soon.

He loves to say we hold a void-deck wedding loh, then we dun need to spend so much and get married earlier. Haha... Not funny at all. Each time he mentions it, it makes my blood boil and makes me feel worthless... You mean I'm worth so little to u? I'm not good enough and impt to you to let u give me the dream/proper wedding dinner? Maybe so... that's why he keeps talking abt void-deck wedding. If I'm really not worth it, pls let me go and dun hurt me anymore with this cruel joke which dashes all my hopes, dreams and faith in you...

Maybe my dream wedding date 19-09-2009 will never come true... I'm tired and sick of this cruel joke which might mean nothing to him but yet hurt me time and again, leaving me alone to lick my wounds...

Happy Belated April Fools' Day!

2006-04-03T22:11:00.000+08:00

okok this post is a little late but I was so busy during the weekend. Sat went cycling with galgal and meilin, as usual galgal share the bi-person bicycle with me and meiling got herself a cheena auntie look type because the mountain bikes ar too high for her and she claims that she needs to be able to touch the ground on both feet then she'll feel comfortable.. ok lo.. she only make herself look more auntie.. keke. So we started from the somewhere near Mcdonalds there then cycle till bedok jetty and rest for awhile somewhere in the middle of the jetty. By now, meilin is complaining liao haha :P Guess she too long never exercise liao.. but we've still got alittle less than an hour to go.. so i tricker her into beliving that we are very near the end of east coast and we should cycle there anyway.. haha she fell for it and we only make a u-turn back after another 30mins of cycling. By this time her face's all red and she couldn't walk straight, at several uphill slope, she litterally dismount the bike and push it.
Then finally we return the bikes and me&galgal applaude her and I told her she looked like she lost 1kg. hah. But that 1kg was quickly placed back after she went triggle happy on food at Mc and, after a pool session at marine parade, less than 2 hours later at the hawker center.. didn't know she can eat so much..
An Aprils' Fool day well-enjoyed and well-spent excercising.. minus the food :P

Living Corpse

2006-03-26T01:17:00.000+08:00

Nowadays, I feel like I'm dragging myself to work. Feel so sianz, sick and tired of so many things. I'm now at a stage where any mention of "work" and "office" pisses me offf and I dread seeing my office numbers appearing on my hp screen. It seems tt I have nvr knocked off even on weekends.

Seriously, I dun understand why I always look so much older after makeovers/thick makeup. Though I'm almost in my mid-twenties, dun need to make me look like I'm in my 30s' right? Haiz... Where can I ever find a place to makeover which will make me look more natural and younger or at least my age?!?! Waiting for the photos to be ready and hopefully its worth the price loh.

So fast Sunday liao, 1 wk gone just like tt like nvr rest at all, damn sianz....

Late post: Makeover liao blur blur

2006-03-25T14:43:00.000+08:00

Sorry ah, so late then post. Not in the state of mind to post, lots of worries about $$, open my own co. and my night job. I wasn't too happy with the makeover.. because the stylist make my hair look like a character from 'dragon ball'. Thought she did turn my hair the other way after some comments from galgal and charlene. Then the makeup for galgal also, I feel, doesn't make galgal look her best lo. Make galgal look older and face rounder.. Below are some photo stickers we took at bugis after the makeover.. u be the judge.I gotta go meet galgal now at pasir ris. stay tuned for galgal's blog tonight..hehee.

Makeover tmr!

2006-03-18T00:29:00.000+08:00

Yup yup, we are gog for our very 1st couple makeover tmr at Decharacter! Quite excited and happy abt it cos after like 1-2yrs of persuasion, Hubby finally agree to go, hehe...

Looking forward to it and hope that my pimples will disappear tmr morning when I wake up (fat hope right?)... Having a pimple outbreak of all times, arghz...

Nothing much happening recently for both of us. Just living life peacefully and probably starting to get a bit worried cos we have been occupied with stuff for the past few weeks. Really tired also that we spend most of our time sleeping in together on weekends.. Yawnz...

Alright, think I better stop blogging for now and surf net for a while before waking up Hubby later for his work. Goodnight~

Boring sat night..

2006-03-05T03:19:00.000+08:00

I'm waiting for galgal to return home from her Co. d&d.. she went to club with her colleagues after the co. d&d and I'm still waiting for her call to tell me she's coming home. Yes i'm bored.. i didn't go because I would be out of place then I'm suppose to have my football night at a boat quay sports pub with thomas & his other friend but I left halfway because galgal's shoe's strap broke during the dinner and I had to rushed to buy a replacement for her.. So thomas went ahead with his plans without me.
It's 3:20am and hopefully she'll call soon coz I'm tired and doing nothing.. sian. Feel like this sat. is wasted for me. tmr can't do much coz got RT in the afternoon..

Overdue blog

2006-02-26T01:32:00.000+08:00

Been a long time since I last blogged (Hubby complaining already....). Partly cos I been busy and also cos I've been really tired.

Well, nothing much really happpening, just spending more time together recently cos Hubby hasn't start work yet till next week. Been shopping recently for some stuff, both mine and his and finally bought some today. Hubby tried on at least half a dozen of business pants before finally getting one (think his skin gonna peel liao with all the trying, wahaha). As for me, I saw this nice Guess bag which I couldn't resist buying. =p

Was thinking of it all the time while shopping with Hubby and when finally Hubby was done, rushed to the shop immediately to buy it, hehe. Cost me $69.90!!! =_= The most ex bag I have ever buy and own.

Still have 1 bag which I'm tempted to buy, but will wait till August and buy it as a b-day gift for myself, wahaha. E bag I'm eyeing cost $135.90 now (-_-) but have calculated. After the 10% discount cos its a blue tag item at Metro and b-day mth with my Metro card, I can get 20% discount! So should cost me abt $108 bah. Hopefully the bag still in stock by then... =p

Still wondering why I'm so crazy over this brand now, it just came so suddenly, haha. Used to dream abt owning a LV bag/wallet, but now I'm satisfied enuff to own a GUESS bah/wallet, hehe.

Alrite, shall stop blogging abt my obession for the time being, till then~

7th day of Lunar New Year, Ren Ri

2006-02-05T01:38:00.000+08:00

Today's the 7th day of Lunar New Year, also known as 'Ren Ri' in chinese. Think it signifies the birth of man(human)? I'm not too sure myself..haha
So today's KTV day as we've planned, reached Chinatown K-box at 2:30pm and started singing straight away.. surpirsingly the place's not crowded and got a room straight away.. disappointed with the room though. It's literally 'big enough' for 2 person haha. And i really need to complain about the aircon, one whole vent to a room this size is totally uncalled for. What are they thinking?? use the room as a freezer?? galgal and me were shivering inside, even with a jacket on. So they are able to let us sing till 7pm today but with galgal&me shivering, which even the beer that i ordered didn't help for long, we left at 6:30pm.. but we don't feel wasted at all coz the it broke the record for the longest time we've spent at a KTV.
Then we had claypot rice at our fav outram hawker centre, it's sooo crowded and everyone's like eating 'Yu sheng' around us, and there's this stall called 'ah zhen' which we are pretty sure it's a claypot dish stall except today. Everyone's queueing to buy yu sheng and porridge from it. considering $16/plate and the roaring business, they must have made $$$$$ just today.
We were tempted to try but did not coz galgal will be having yu sheng at home later.
After dinner, we decided to walk to esplanade from chinatown(kinda conned galgal that it's quite a short distance, hehe). Along the way, as we passed far east sqr, we saw this stall 'Mr teh tarik' or sound something like that. What attracted us was the variety of kopi-teh drinks, the cheap price and the size of the cups.. it's like $1.2 for a big gulp sized cup of iced teh. So galgal had iced teh tarik and me, kopi dinosaur..haha.. it was a 'powerful' and thick drink man.. ice coffee topped with milo powder.. luckily it's a cooling day, if not sure nose bleed.
When we were reaching explande, on the bridge, there's alot of photographers setting up their tripods and we overheard an aunty asking one of them what are they doing, they were preparing to snap at the fireworks! Upon hearing that, galgal&me sat down and waited 10mins for the fireworks.. galgal's crazy about that, when the fireworks display started, galgal's snapping away happily..hehe. I'm sure she will post some of the photos later.. the fireworks display is part of the 'river ang bao' fair that's along the river. So must likely it'll last till the 15th day of CNY as it has always been.
Bought a 'four-leaf clover' key chain along the way to the MRT station in citilink mall.. saw the prize quite compared to the shop at galgal's ex-office and since my luck is sooo bad now..haiz..
Then we had to kinda rush home coz galgal's mum wants to 'lao yu sheng' and galgal have to be home early.. but with all the human traffic, we reached galgal's home just after 11.
fortunately, galgal mummy is not in a foul mood and had a quick 'lao-ing' and packed some for me to bring home. But my luck's still no good.. waited for the bus from 11:30pm till 1220am.. no sign of any bus..haiz.. no choice.. had to spend money to take cab with midnight charge..
Hope the four-leaf clover can turn my luck around soon... really need a break now.

Dreams

2006-02-04T01:10:00.000+08:00

I dream of your touch while you are away,
I dream of your smile all through the day,
I remember the day,
You came into my life,
I dream of the day I will be your wife.

I dream of the day I can fall asleep next to you,
I dream of the day I can say I do.
To be your wife,
To be together for life,
Is a dream I have,Every night.

(Poem Written By: Jessica Ann Trimble)

A nice poem I saw on a website, kindda reflects how I feel. *blush* Waiting for that day to come true~ ^_^

CNY day 2

2006-01-31T00:28:00.000+08:00

Ahh, no visiting today because all the Ang Bao harvesting's done yesterday. Nothing to do today and since it's been awhile since we've watched a movie, so decided to watch the movie 'I Not Stupid Too' at Plaza Sing. I would say today galgal&me is quite in a 'naughty mood', look at the pics :P
haha.. The movie's quite funny at times and touching during the end, can hear lots of aunties and gals sobbing, so you all should not give it a miss, even if u wait till it's out in the stores. Ok la, today nothing much to highlight.. tmr galgal's cooking, agian something that we haven't done for more than a month. See ya all later!

2006-01-30T12:02:00.000+08:00

Our ang bao collection!

2006-01-30T12:01:00.000+08:00

My ang bao collection!

2006-01-30T12:00:00.000+08:00

Hubby's ang bao collection!

Happy CNY 2006!

2006-01-30T11:48:00.000+08:00

Our 3rd CNY together! Hehe, hope we can collect ang baos for a few more yrs first to save up for our weding fund.

Went on ang bao collection spree ytd but this yr CNY seems very quiet. Though the ang baos collected still not too bad but were bombard with the same qns over n over again... "When is your turn to give us ang bao?" "When are you getting married?" Haiz, this has been gog on since last wk when we attended Jasmine's wedding.

Thks for the concern and yes, we do have plans to get married, but not so soon... If you want to see us get married earlier, pls contribute to our wedding fund generously. Hehe... You can contribute by mthly or anually via GIRO/cash/cheque (make sure your cheque dun bounce though). =p

Hubby didn't seem very pleased with 1 thing though which was my denim skirt. Honestly, I didn't realise there was slit in front when I bought it cos I was too busy being happy that I could fit into it, lol. The slit was in front and quite high up, such that when I sat down, it'll ride up all e way and expose most of my fat thighs (sob sob). Hmmm, someone seems to be taking more and more "vinegar" recently. =x

Alright, we'll be gog to watch "I Not Stupid 2" later in the day and hope it's gonna be good! Till then, happy ang bao collecting and wish alla good "harvest" this yr!

Pre-CNY Eve Post

2006-01-27T12:21:00.000+08:00

Haven't had the mood to blog recently so I'm gonna backtrack alittle since the nice weather and the sun shining into my room has brighten me up... for the moment.
Sunday, we went to Jasmine's, my cousin, wedding at Mariott. Kinda unbelieveable coz I still have this image of her running around my house as a kid and playing with her after school during her primary school day. Maybe that's the advantage of bring a gal, find a good & loving guy that'll be a good husband and if he's from a well-to-do family, the traditional wedding and every expenses will be taken care of. Jasmine is very fortunate to find such a guy already at her young age. :P
The dinner's good, the usual expensive dishes eg. sharksfin, abalone clams etc. except for the more basic food like the Ee Fu Mee which I feel is not up to par with the other more pricey dishes. They gave this small bell to every guest, which is something different from the usual small slice of wedding cake. My aunt went on to grab any extra bells there is laying around, including those from the empty 'backup' tables. Not that she has any practical use for them but she just like that.. free stuff and there's extra, grab. I don't know how many she have gotten but there's six in the living room. Hmm maybe I could give them to galgal&Me's wedding in the future and save a little..hehee.
I was already mentally prepared for 'the question' that would befall onto us during the dinner. 'When's ur turn?', 'Next one's U right' flooded galgal&Me all night and our reply would be just smiles.. if we gave them a verbal answer they would probably carry on the conversation which is what we are trying to avoid :P Then a fair amount of relative commented that we have 'fu qi xiang', haha.. my reply is of coz, we see each other almost everyday :P
Haiz.. after the dinner when I reach home, I suddenly feel so useless.. galgal&me has been together for almost 4 years and I've been working for 6yrs and yet, I'm still in the state of being almost penniless and accomplished nothing much. Some wrong decisions and bad luck in career development really puts u back to where u begin.
I'm working hard and hopefully a break will come.. so I can provide my family and galgal a good life.. that's all I ask in my prayers.

Not a good start at all

2006-01-20T21:51:00.000+08:00

Yes, things has been crappy since 2006 started. It's a bang alrite, a bang that wound me and put me into depression.. besides the incident that galgal mentioned, my dream of starting my own Co. is also in jeopardy. A crappy partner-to-be whom breaks his promise just barely after week. Now I can't even operate and a risk of not able to sustain a project currently I'm working on. You guys should be aware of 小人'Xiao Ren' especially this year, seems like there are plentiful of them.
Fortunately this week alone, I've got a couple of small deals done. Not a great help to the fund I needed but it's sure a morale boost to my confidence.
I'm always trying to be optimistic, it's one of the things I could do to help myself now. Not a good 2006, nevermind. It will be a good Lunar New Year!
Nuff said.
Onwards! galgal & me!
Oh, and hopefully galgal could find a dentist who's not having a busy schedule, coz she's having a bad toothache.

Ups & Downs

2006-01-15T02:10:00.000+08:00

Many things have happened in the past weeks since the start of the new year. Not exaclty gog smoothly for me... Lots of pain, hurt and heartbreak felt.

The probably only good thing was that we realised we still love each other lots and deeply after these yrs together and our love is strong enough to overcome anything. We'll probably face a even longer and tougher path to our future form now onwards. We'll probably have to make even more sacrifices in the future. But I hope by the end of it, all is worthwhile and we still have the blessings and support of our close ones.

Wouldn't wanna talk abt what has happened here and I just hope wat past is past.

To one of my gal pal, I guess you know who you are, wanna say a sincere thanks to you. Thks for taking the time to listen to me, for giving me encouragement, support and advise at my weakest point. I guess its really when things happen when you know who are your true frens and can stay on for life. You're a fren I'll always keep in mind and heart. *huggies*

Happy New Year!

2006-01-02T01:14:00.000+08:00

Goodbye 2005 and WELCOME 2006! WWeeeeE!
Finally the bad year(yes, for me) gone and hopefully a good new year ahead.
Quit my $^#%$ job and have some plans of my own to earn some serious $. Wish me good luck!

Well celebrations for the new year didn't turn out really well.. everybody seems switched off and suddenly become 'tamed'. We had a hard time finding ppl to party and when atlast found someone willing to get together something.. it didn't work out like what we expected. Went to music underground, got a table and a bot. of Chivas at discounted rate coz galgal's fren is a VIP. So the 4 of us went in really early like 8pm to book the table and the placed's empty and so we went out for dinner. Came back an hour later and the place pretty much the same, empty. Galgal and grace fratically trying to find more ppl to join us coz, we know if it's just the 4 of us, we definitely gonna get bored. 2 other ex-colleagues of hers joined finally but still.. somehow everyone's not in a party mood, just sitting there drinking abit and SMSing..sheesh. thought the place is pretty filled up with 'boy & gals' and it didn't help witht he 'sianness' Ok, the only really fun part is the countdown part when everybody got hyped and after that, grace left.. everybody else starts leaving and we finally left at 1:30am. Usually I pretty ok with having fun with just galgal alone, but the bengish eurodance and hiphop they were playin all night just ain't gonna get me going. So we walked down Orchard and see groups of banglahs with cans of fake snow spray and 'attacking' bypassers.. Luckily we were spared, maybe because I looked hostile when they tried to 'make their move' :P.
Anyway ends the day having prata ner my home and went home sleep..
Conclusion, nothing to shout about. but definitely a precious 'hugging galgal in bed' night, something to remember and something I missed so much.
wish you all a good year ahead!

Merry X'mas!!

2005-12-25T00:39:00.000+08:00

Hohoho! Hope everyone's enjoyed their x'mas eve. I would have enjoyed it as much I would have if I hadn't caught flu on thursday and slept peacefully yesterday night. *sigh* dunno y I seem to fall ill most of e time when a holiday's approaching.
Anyway, today's very enjoyable and happy. As usual had X'mas dinner at Tzuen's house and exchanged presents but this year's a little different coz galgal made 'cheesy potato balls' to contribute to the dinner.
I woke up early and went to the supermarket and get the ingredients and started the preparations as early as noon.. luckily for that, we didn't finished it till 5pm. And poor galgal scalded her hands by the cookin oil while deep-frying the balls. The oil seemed to react violently to her whenever she approach the pot and today this really loud 'pop' hurt her badly and has to bandage her hand. 'sayang galgal' So I took over and finish the cooking.
So generally everyone's happy with the presents we got them, Tzuen got his endearmints, his dad a prawn fishing rod, his mum a pair of chomel crystal earrings, ken meng with his bluetooth adaptor, ken lun with this mastubator's kit and tzuen's bro with his 'useful' emergeny sexual car kit :P
Ok la, me gotta force myself to sleep and recover fast if not, there isn't much time left for me to enjoy this year end holidays. hopefully my nose will not give me a hard time in bed..

Merry X'mas!

2005-12-24T02:21:00.000+08:00

Merry X'mas!!! Well, been busy with shopping for x'mas gifts recently. 2005 is coming to an end soon. How fast a year has gone by just like that. Have got Hubby his X'mas gift and our coming anniversary gift early. Wondering what I'm gonna get from him? =p

Some wishes for the coming year:

Happi weekend

2005-12-11T00:38:00.000+08:00

Hi everyone! Nothing to write much about today so gonna talk about the week instead.
Think it was Monday we metup at the airport with Janet and had dinner at a new Fish&Co. outlet..the deco is definitely one of the best and a break from the usual ones... The menu is somewhat different and has something diff so galgal tried the grilled salmon but me go with the usual swordfish collar.. but janet 'act smart' and had the whole line fish, as I expected she can only managed to squeeze a side of the fish in her that small body of hers haa! The staffs were really friendly there and there seemed to be a private room for big groups.. hmm.. I wonder if me and galgal consider 'big group' anot, if not we can have our private 'moments' there while having one of our most-loved food :P
Then midweek nothing much interesting.. it's just work and work. Galgal busy with her work and worked OT and me took up alot of freelance jobs to earn extras coz I'm planning to leave my never-improving Co. and look for a job elsewhere by the end of the year. Just thought that I had enough and determined to make myself leave this Co. for good else me and galgal's marriage plans will never be realised.
So back to some happy moment, after that Eeyore that I caught for galgal the last time, I have these urges to try the UFO machines everytime I passed by them.. So I've kinda tried my luck again and everytime I would only commit $10 only.. so that's 10 tries. 2 times I've tried on different occasions and I caught these :P

Not bad right! hehee..

Back to today, after galgal's massage, we went Christmas shopping. Bought a shirt for myself at Topman, galgal bought a pair of sandals and jeans. Got a unique silver necklace at Perlini's Silver for meilin, which she said she really like after we took a cab and passed to her on our way back..
Ok la.. dunno galgal will blog anot.. guess we are all tired aftre a long physical day. catch ya all later.

Love is in the air~

2005-12-04T11:22:00.000+08:00

Alrite, been kindda busy and lazy to blog recently. (Oops, Hubby gonna knock my head for tt... T_T) Nth much happening I would say. Just busy with work and meeting up for dinner when we can. Went with Hubby to my ex-co's KTV session on Friday and well, thinking back, we have really gone a long way. From our just beginning, the uncertainty I felt compared to now, I can proudly and bravely say, "Yes, he's my bf". Our r/s is open and true for everyone to know and see. One of my ex-colleagues mentioned we are very "幸福“, still together for so many yrs, haha. Felt really sweet at tt time and also realised, ya, this is the first time I have been together with a guy for so long.

I guess if I had not met him, I might still be uncertain of many things. He's taught me a lot of things and though most of our interests are relatively different, but guess more or less we have to learnt to compromise with each other or try to learn to appreciate what we each like.

From him, I have really seen how faithful a guy can really be if he really loves someone. The confidence I had once lost in past r/s have slowly been earned back by him. So, guys, pls no excuse abt becos the tempatations are out there. If you really love someone deeply, you just can't and won't bear to make your other half upset just for that one moment of happiness.

I hope even ten yrs down the rd, we'll still be like today. Holding hands, chatting and joking on the street. Wishing myself and everyone else happiness and true love always~

Pooh family completed!

2005-11-25T00:28:00.000+08:00

Today must be our day, galgal surprisingly can leave office early so she came to bugis to meet me for dinner. After our dinner at 'lai lai' and 'ah chew desserts'. I suddenly have an urge to go to the basement amusement centre and look around. Saw a couple of those 'catcher' machine and tried my luck a couple of times on various machines and just as expected, all the machines seem rigged. Either the 'claws' are too short or they jerk and drop the catch along the way back to the chute. Then we saw this lone Eeyore in one of the biggest machine there and decided to give it a last try though our hopes were low. Guess what?? I steadily positioned and claws abit off-center the eeyore and made lots of micro-adjustments and hit the grab button with only a few seconds left. The claw went down, initially only 2 of the claws managed a hold, a sigh from galgal thinking all's lost as usual.. But as the claws close up.. Eeyore rotated and and all 3 claws grabbed it tightly! Galgal's disappointment became excitement instantly as the claws went up with no jerk as it made it's way to the chute and drop the prize! Galgal's jumping with joy and hugged Eeyore thru the night until we reached home attracting stares of envy.. haha. See, good things do happen with a little bit of effort :P
So with this Eeyore and the others that I bought for her during her birthday, galgal completed her Pooh family collection..

Love so true

2005-11-20T12:01:00.000+08:00

A stranger you were once. Then, with a gentle look you took my hand. As our lives engaged, you lit my life and I held both your hands. Now that times have passed, ours souls have indeed become one. How fortunate we are that we have found the love so true that everyone dreams about. "

Tiring Sat..

2005-11-20T01:32:00.000+08:00

Today's a different sat, why? Coz I actually got some freelance job to do in the morning that I have to awake as early as galgal around 7:30am. After her weekly slimming massage session we stay fixed in one location, watching a pool competition between some clubs, without galgal doing any major shopping and we both enjoyed the day! Abit more about the pool competition, it's orgnised by Newpaper and it's called "after 5'. Today's the final rounds at Funan and devil's bar(one of galgal's former regular hangout place) and that's why she's so interested to stay and watch, and that's good :P
The only disappointment galgal has is that Devil's Bar lost to 'Shin Bar'(it's the 1st time we've heard of the name!) in the finals, a close fight that one and the winner had to be decided by the reserve players' sudden death game. The devil bar's mascot and bouncers came and Shin's supporters made up also half the spectators there, it was quite an electrifying atmosphere with the fine plays by the players.
Wish we could have more of these types of 'cash-saving' saturdays and definitely we can afford to get married sooner.

Still Love U

2005-11-18T23:48:00.000+08:00

Was talking to Hubby abt something when he mentioned if I felt that he was not enough for me?
Of cos not! Its just that, well a gal's wishful thinking/feeling that it would be nice if there are still guys gog after her even when she's attached. I mean, you know that kind of flattering feeling?

Its as if proving you're still attractive and likeable. Haha, I know its kindda dumb and childish. But sometimes gals just wanna be reassured. Sigh... Maybe its my "retribution". Too playful and flirt in my younger days, haha.

Dinner at Surf & Turf!

2005-11-13T02:47:00.000+08:00

Lunch at Fin! Fresh oysters, Calamari, Lamb Shank and Fish~

Overdue update

2005-11-13T02:30:00.000+08:00

Quite an overdue blog that was supposed to be posted last wk. Basically was too tired and busy o blog recently cos I have been clocking 14hrs of work almost everyday. Darn...

Had very food for lunch & dinner on 2 different days. What can I say? Yummy yummy~ Lunch at Fin was great as any other time. The fresh oysters simply works wonder. The fish meat was thick and delicious too. Me and Hubby almost licked clean our plates, haha. kidding!

Had dessert at Killiney Kopitiam after that. Ice-cream with waffle topped with fat-free chocolate syrup (that's what they claim lah). Cool for a hot day. Waffle was thick and spongy, nice texture! Served with my fav vanilla flavour ice-cream. Wah, blogging abt it makes me hungry already.

Dinner on the second day was at a restuarant we never tried before at Suntec. Restaurant name is Surf & Turf. Not really vheap, but food equally nice as well! Mussels were served in a creamy white wine sauce with garlic. Similar to Fish & Co.'s garlic lemon butter mussels. The steak was done nicely, tender without being too bloody or rubbery taste. Hubby's seafood combo was nice too. Giant prawn, crayfish etc were fresh and portion was big. Quite a gd dining experience. but would only go back again when we can afford it, hehe.

Today we had dinner at Cafe Cartel. The portion was so big till we were struggling to finish our main course. We could not finish our starters in the end and asked for the remaining food to be packed home. After that we both had stocmaches. Haiz, probably due to the fiery, hot macoroni.

Alright, shall end here for now and will upload the food pics later. Hehe.

2005-11-03T00:17:00.000+08:00

Suchart Bin Latte, hehe... Hubby's 1 wk stubble.

Happy Deepavali, and holidays!! WeeeE!

2005-11-02T00:35:00.000+08:00

So shiok! a public holiday just passed about 45mins ago and another one's coming 24hrs later!! haha.. It's one of the few-in-a-lifetime 2 public holidays in a week thing and everyone's so switch off at work and taking it easy that I pretty much have nuts to do. Simply love it!
Galgal just cooked a splendid "Zhu Jiao Bee Hoon" (that's pigs' leg rice vermicelli) for dinner and both my family and her's were enjoyng it so much. Of coz it's no easy task in the kitchen and lucky for her, she's got a caring, helpful and good kitchen assistant(that's ME!). :P

Boring & 'suay' Week - Daddy's version

2005-10-29T01:08:00.000+08:00

that's 'bad luck'. things didn't really go right for me, sometimes effort alone just isn't enough.. luck does have it's role.. the week begin quite as usual.. then starting tuesday, things start going wrong.. My guppies start dying one by one for no apparent reason, no sign of sickness, no bites, no injuries, just found them floating in the morning. Then I discovered the right side of my New Balance shoe have a hole in the front! it's the pair which i loved so much, it's black and one of the few models which my fussy 4E wide feet can wear and it's no longer in production, and my left side is perfectly fine! sheesh.. Then i discovered today just after lunch that the 3x$50 in my wallet mysteriously disappeared, i double-checked in the morning and it was there.

Ok! I'm gonna try to avoid doing too much, going out too much and try to stay home, I'm certified 'suay' for this period of time, how long? i dunno, but I'm gonna go slow and be extra careful atleast till the end of this week.

Tmr galgal's gonna go with charlene to town for a massage at noon and i'm only going out to meet her after she's done, atleast tmr's morning taken care of for now..

Boring Week

2005-10-23T11:54:00.000+08:00

Nothing much this week actually, just meeting for dinner after work, walk ard a bit. Making a bit of future plans, chit chatting and taking walks home instead of bus/cab. Trying to inject some romance back into our relationship bah. Haha.

Talked and discussed abt lots of things like frens ard us and some issues, still trying to know more abt each other though been together for a long time.

Yesterday was spent shopping with a fren and him, today we're heading to Clarke Quay to support a fren's booth at the flea market. Hehe, hope we will have lots of surprises and some good finds.

Was looking at the archives and realised we have been blogging for a yr liao! Phew, time really flies. Hope this will continue for at least couple of years bah. Hehe.

Finally out of that place!!

2005-10-15T00:18:00.000+08:00

And I mean Hospital, Can't imagine i lasted 3 days without food there.. sheesh. 72hours cannot eat but smell the food of patients' around durng meal times, big needle in my hand for the saline drip, trying to fill myself with jugs of H2O to make the hunger bearable, 4 hourly of finger pricking and squeezing blood out for sugar level tests, daily drawing of bottles of blood.. and the end result? "Mr Lim, now we know there isn't a tumour in some organ and we will schedule another appointment for u to conduct another series of tests" the doc said with a grin. !!!*pulling ym hair* all that to tell me I've free of one of the many possible cause of my symptoms.. haiz..
atleast i can now cuddle galgal in my arms and 'sayang' her and she don't have to have that heartpain anymore.

Tired

2005-10-14T01:22:00.000+08:00

Hubby's finally discharged from hospital today. Been rushing to and fro to the hospital and back home from Monday onwards after work. Glad he's finally out and able to break fast finally. Kaoz, 72 hours fast for nothing.

Felt so heartpain when he was on drip on Monday, I know how uncomfortable and painful it is cos I have been on drip twice before. Porr Hubby. He looked so sad and weak for the past few days. After visiting him, my heart kindda feels tight and painful. Really had to control myself from breaking out into tears when I leave the hospital.

Hope everything's fine and they stupid hospital can really find out the cause asap. Waste of time and money there.

poof Jimmy's back

2005-10-01T09:58:00.000+08:00

keke.. of coz i'm busy la.. but with good excuse! you may think this is not the 1st time I'm using 'busy&tired' as an excuse but how about working more OTs & taking up more freelance jobs even on saturdays and sundays(haven't had a day break for 2weeks) so that i can speed up my savings and marry galgal sooner? Still a lousy excuse?, go shoot urself then :P
there's one thing that greatly worries me now is galgal's situation in the company.. beside the usual unreasonable customers and heavy workload, her manager seems to be bias against her and 2 incidents to support my suspicion.
1) There was someone downloading non-work related program fron the internet and the IT dept complaint to the boss, he called up a meeting and gave a warning to everyone but.. kept he stared at galgal while he was making his point. Nvm that, at the end of it, he said 'don't know who it was but IT dept can trace', huh?? if he didn't know who it was then he must have 'assume-d' it? just because the complains came in only after galgal joined the company? let me explain a little bit about the word 'assume' and why i hate it so much. Breakup the word you get 'Ass-u-me' which for me, it means 'making an Ass out of U & Me', rhymes? Anyone who lives on that 'assume' principle alot either in work or play will likely be a failure because not making sure and/or being too plain lazy to find the facts and uses 'assume' to work their way through causes hell lot of problems. If you encounter such people before, you'll get what I mean.
2) This one really pissed me off when i heard about it. 2 person, belonged to an ops dept which galgal works closely with, were having an argument and got called into the manager's office. Then one guy started blaming everyone else that they are making it hard for him to work and gave a few examples then galgal and one other colleague was mentioned and so called to the manager's office too. The guy's complain was he asked galgal for an info but instead told the another guy, because galgal was closer to him. But according to galgal this guy asked her for the info in the morning and the customer didn't gave her an answer until in the afternoon, then conincidently the 2nd guy(he works afternoon) came in and asked galgal for the answer, so galgal told him. Then this manager(same as the above-mentioned) blamed galgal for creating the misunderstanding between these 2 guys and said she should have told the 1st guy when she got the answer. But these 2 guys are working in the same dept, and if the someone is asking for the same info from that dept and when asked by someone else from that dept and she gave the info, definitely her part is done right? I mean whatever happens within that other dept is not her problem. then this complaing guy complied about galgal's colleague too with the thought of pushing blames away and making it look like he is the victim here..
Having one or few of these type of colleague in a co. is probably not unusual and is bearable is things don't get screwed up too often. But having a manager like that? haiz.. I just feel that if galgal is getting these type of unneccessary stress must too often then she should probably move on, the basic pay maybe high but the non-compensated almost everyday OTs and with a boss mentioned above, it's not worth it.
Whatever it is galgal, daddy always by your side. muackz.

Sigh...

2005-10-01T08:19:00.000+08:00

Sigh.. Someone has not been blogging for sometime... Guess the same old excuses will be used again.. Too busy, too tired, then the usual, I will blog next time no matter how tired or busy I am etc.

Sick of it, damn bloody sick of it.

Loomy thursday..

2005-09-09T00:13:00.000+08:00

y? because everything has gone wrong for me.. 1st, one of my co's project partner pushed all the blame on my co.(but only me were there) when my client's server refused to startup. Kinda like some software problem but he tried to kick the ball to my half by saying it's hardware fault.. of coz even the client noticed that he's pushing away the blame but me just doesn't feel good when ur supposedly partner tried to 'sabo' me. 2nd, booked a cab from aunt's house to meet galgal at changi village but the cab co. screwed up for the 2nd within a week. There's just something wrong with their booking system! the driver would call u after the booking is confirmed.. but what if the customer is not contactable via phone? the driver would assume that u don't want the booking! that's just not right! both occasions I'm waiting there at the pickup location but the driver failed to get thru to my mobile and both occasions they just drive off without even stopping at the pickup location. I definitely called up the co. and gave them my piece of mind.. what crappy cab services.
Then today because of the crap co. galgal angry at me because she waited 30mins for me loh.. and say all the 'u r useless' and hurt things which hurt my heart pretty much.. of coz we made up during dinner...

Probation Over!

2005-09-02T23:50:00.000+08:00

Yes!!! Probation is over! I have endured 3mths!! Gosh, I can't believe that I seriously managed to pull thru, hehe.

Well, me and Hubby are seeing less of each other nowadyas partly due to my new job. The location is kindda far/ulu for him to come meet me and its usually late when I finish work. We still have our fair share of arguements, but still trying to work things out. Been very hot-tempered and losing my cool easily to him after I had this job. Probably I sometimes "face" some customers who are really unreasonable till I wanna scream at them. Arghz.. But no choice, they're customers, customers are first... *duhz* *pui pui*

Thks to the nice title, customer service officer, kaoz... I sometimes seriously feel that some customers are takign their frustrations out on us when they face pressure from their boss. Sighz, wat to do? Gotta earn a living and save for our future, just gotta bear with it.

Tmr's my day off finally, so guess we'll be out shopping again! Haha~

Free at last!

2005-08-28T00:10:00.000+08:00

what's on ur mind? Talking about my ICT la haha.. 10 days of 'banglah' days finally over yesterday. back to my sleep late wakeup late routine :P ICT these days damn 'bo liow', it says 'Doctrine update and skill refresher' on my callup but the 'skill refresher' part is infact only 2 days of 'simulation' less the real stuff. The rest of ICT is spent jogging at East Coast and doing 'camp maintenance' which includes washing and cleaning.. much to everyone's protest but 'bo bian', this is our 'national duty' for being Singaporean males.
Today galgal went on a shopping after getting her pay and some payment from her mum.. so off she went to spend $300 today.. of coz $100 of that goes to our dinner at Pariss Buffet for us. Good stuff but my toothache doesn't allow me to enjoy it fully.. hope the extraction on monday will open up my tastebuds again.. ok la.
Time for galgal to update liao.. where's she huh??

Happy B-day to Myself!

2005-08-13T02:13:00.000+08:00

Alrite, I'm 1 yr older liao. Hope my dreams and wishes come true and everything goes well for me from now on...

Really love the gift from the "family" and Jolene. Thks all of ur again! *huggies*

Kindda tired now and still gotta work tmr. So shall turn in first and update more tmr if possible. *yawnz*

Beauty sleep for a beautiful tmr and a nite of partying!

Tmr Galgal's birthday

2005-08-12T16:29:00.000+08:00

So it's galgal's big day tmr, she actuall signed up for the club momo membership hoping to get a table and claim her birthday gifts but things didn't turn out right.. last night when we were there to sign up the form, we were told that the place is fully booked and no way to get a table unless somebody actually backed out..which has a chance of 5% to nothing. Nevertheless we still can claim the signup drinks benefits which seemed better valued anyway than paying for the cover charges.. hope there'll be good news tonight...
Hmm galgal's must be very anxious about what birthday gifts she'll get this time.. esp. from me :P that's for her to find out.. sorry if she have to lost her sleep to anxiety but rules are still rules.. kekeke.

Anything happened?

2005-08-09T00:09:00.000+08:00

The answer is.. of coz not la. Galgal and me still going strong ok, all of u(galgal's admirers) out there better giveup now hahaa. Just expect lots of changes in the next couple of months because i'm going to move on and out of my %#$%#y job and hopefully into something potentially good and become a millionaire!! ehh.. ok maybe that part will take quite a number of years to materialise :P
So tmr's national day yippee! what's so exciting about national day?? it's a public holiday! and that's aout it for me loh hahaa.. maybe when i was a kid used to be excited about the national day parade la.. but a kid no more! tmr i shall go out with galgal just like any holiday!
where's galgal leh?? *knock knock* wu lang di boh??

A New Start?

2005-08-01T11:28:00.000+08:00

Had a quarrel last night with him. Its not the first and won't be the last time... For the time being... Maybe I had been bottling up for too long or maybe cos I was under the weather... Things just went wrong and I felt really tired and felt like gaving up. Nope, its not becos of not having steamboat for dinner that I felt so upset. 3 yrs of r/s is not gonna be given up just like tt over dinner issues.

Though he assured me that he'll look for a new job which is higher paying and is saving up for our future plans, but still... Let's just wait and see. I just don't wanna place my hopes too high cos the fall is gonna hurt if nothing goes as planned.

Till then, I shall just hang on a while more...

Fireworks galore!

2005-07-24T02:25:00.000+08:00

Woah! met galgal after work and went to marina sqr to have lunch and shop while we wait for the fireworks of the national day parade rehearsal.. Had a disappointing lunch at a new outlet called 'kopitiam' then had fake gelare-lookalike ice-cream from a stall near the exit to milenia walk. Done abit of shopping at giants and went to esplanade roof-top and waited almost 2hrs for the fireworks.. saw a few heli and plane flypass then finally the highlight of the day shot to the sky to everyone's amaze.. it's didn't last very long maybe because it's not the real thing yet thus they are saving up on 'ammo' :P galgal took a few good shots and will probably post them later..
anyway, we didn't have luck with food today.. dinner is exceptionally bad.. went to 'dian xiao er' thinking it would be no difference from the closed down chinatown outlet which we did frequent in the past. But we were very wrong, staff is like chasing us to make our orders and keep suggesting that we go for the set dinner and say 'we would have more time to eat if we order that'. So it felt like we will be chased out if we didn't finish by their closing time. Then came the missing tea and dessert, had to remind them about the dessert because it came as part of the set meal and we gave the tea a miss since it's additional cost and told them about it only when the bill came..
thought the day is all just about bad food? wrong! going home did not go well also, 1st taxi that we booked cancelled the booking because he came by the route which was blocked by the parade rehearsal and he refused to re-route to pick us up, 30mins wasted because of that. Then the 2nd, other co. taxi we called came 15mins late.. and galgal's mum ain't too happy about her coming home late and refused to believe the taxi stories..sheesh.. hope tomorrow will be a better day!

My turn!

2005-07-22T00:49:00.000+08:00

Definitely a long awaited post by galgal, u guys see when her last post?? almost 3 weeks ago! hmph! last tiem she used to bug me to blog everyday then now see who's the one been missing. Nothing much so far except galgal is now busy playing with her new problem-free PC and MSGing everyone in her list..sheesh.. if not for me cleaning up her PC and install all the new stuff till 4AM in the morning and wakeup at 6am to deliver to her home.. she would be sleeping now already.
bo bian loh, love galgal so much so must do all these to make her happy right?
