i thought, instead of the boring wordy posts, why don’t we make use of visuals?

That’s all folks… Till then…

I can almost see it
That dream I’m dreaming but
There’s a voice inside my head sayin,
You’ll never reach it,
Every step I’m taking,
Every move I make feels
Lost with no direction
My faith is shaking but I
Got to keep trying
Got to keep my head held high

There’s always going to be another mountain
I’m always going to want to make it move
Always going to be an uphill battle,
Sometimes I’m going to have to lose,
Ain’t about how fast I get there,
Ain’t about what’s waiting on the other side
It’s the climb

The struggles I’m facing,
The chances I’m taking
Sometimes they might knock me down but
No I’m not breaking
I may not know it
But these are the moments that
I’m going to remember most yeah
Just got to keep going
And I,
I got to be strong
Just keep pushing on,
cause

There’s always going to be another mountain
I’m always going to want to make it move
Always going to be an uphill battle,
Sometimes I’m going to have to lose,
Ain’t about how fast I get there,
Ain’t about what’s waiting on the other side
It’s the climb

Keep on moving
Keep climbing
Keep the faith baby
It’s all about
It’s all about
The climb
Keep the faith
Keep your faith

I don’t know if I made a right decision. But I hope things turn out well this time round. It’s gonna be our one last shot and I’m putting my everything into making things right again. Whatever turns out at the end of the day, it’s up to our own faith to believe in it.

Faith – do we have it?

Just back from lunch with Angela. She was at her new job and I guess things wasn’t as rosy as it seemed to be. She’s facing, yet again, the same superior-subordinate issue.

It’s just queer why people just can’t seem to work together peacefully. Instead, what we see around us are the evils sins of human nature. Backstabbing and bootlicking, all for one damn reason – Attention. And the fact that it is so much more apparent in the working environment that I am in, it totally turns me off. I’ve seen for myself, a few classic examples, of 2 faced hypocrites who pretend to be all so friendly with you, yet turns out to harm and attack you when you’re most defenseless, of selfish people who do and say things only to their sole benefit and not thinking if hurt was transferred due to their doings, of arrogant people who turned their heads away just because they had their taste of success (which is minimal) and the list goes on…

It saddens me to see these things happening around me. But what can I do as an individual?

Nothing.

Crossroads.

That’s what I see now. What’s right and what’s wrong? What’s real and what’s not? Can’t seem to figure them out now. But one thing I know, I’ll be in this by myself – which sadly, spells loneliness. I’ve just got to do something but again, what? Feeling extremely lost and confused right now.

Should things go back to what it was like or should I move on as a stronger person?

You tell me…

I’m gonna start on this daily thing again. But this time, it will be shorter and sweeter – something more straight to the point. Cut that lengthy posts ahead. I’m gonna start this from tomorrow…

Till then, good nights.

Work’s busy. As usual. Damn. I lack time.

Lucks to my kids for their Olevels. All the best guys!

If you realised, I only update on a weekly basis. Haha. Job is STILL busy, STILL uncertain. Hope things will pick up soon.

Updates on Pui’s 21st birthday bash. Held in a function room at Guilin View. She invited her family and her friends only. A rather small scale one, but good enough I guess. She looks stunning cos she was smiling all night. Buffet was good, the cake was the best – swensen’s ice cream cake. Slurps!
Siti didn’t make it cos’ she wasn’t feeling so well that day. That leaves me, bowling, deafy and mouse. We reached pretty late, one of the last few. Camwhored like crazy. It was fun-o-fun.

Deafy looks so comical

After that, I met Mr.Cookie. for supper. Because of our busy schedule, we haven’t been spending much quality time together. Harh! We will alright? Soon.

I was watching teevee about anorexic people and I told Mr.Cookie. about it. And the following conversation took place.

ª ° ¤ [ - j e a n . t õ . r ô s z - ] ¤ ° ª says:

He’s so mean isn’t he? Hmpf!

Hello guys. I know I’ve been missing for the longest period of time but yeah, I’m doing good. Work training’s done and we are all ready to roll out to different teams (very sad). But I guess, life’s gotta go on. Not really ready to do any sales yet but attended this roadshow recently which was indeed an eye opener. Within just a few hours of work, I see different kinds of people – kind ones, rude ones, emotionless ones… you name it, and you’ll get it. Haha.

Most of us are still under immediate training with our BDMs. Facing a little pressure here and there, something that I must learn to cope with. But hey, once I get through this, I may be stronger to meet even tougher challenges out there. So, not that bad yes?

Work has been taking up a lot of my used-to-have free time. Now I lack time for my family, Mr.Cookie. and my lovely friends. I miss hanging out with all of them. Working life is so disgusting. Weekends now passes so quickly that I hardly feel anything at all. I have no chance for a light breather. Sigh. I gotta stop complaining like a small kid and learn to grow up.

So, did I mentioned, my training team mates did a steamboat dinner to celebrate our rolling out? The food was alright, I guess the company was better. Took plenty of silly and “oily” pictures (haha). Nuff’ said, pictures yes?

My BaNaNa craze

Then last week, I went for a very impromptu primary reunion in my primary school. Our batch was invited to attend a mooncake festival event organised of cos by the school. Gotta thank Kangtai for putting this up for us. Haven’t seen my primary school peeps (besides eileen and those who went to CTSS) ever since we splited up from primary school. It’s such a pity but hey, at least some of us managed to make an effort to go down to school for this event. And guess what? Thanks to Kangtai again, our batch was invited to start a LPS alumni. Haha. Felt very honoured and important of cos.

So, we didn’t have the chance to play with any lanterns or sparkle sticks. But, the mischievious us went up to our Primary 6 form teacher’s desk to “mess” up her table. She wasn’t around cos she was on MC so we thought leaving her a note telling her we were here would be nice. Told Kangtai to quickly organise a primary school dinner so that all of us can meet up together, of cos with Mrs Guna. Let’s hope Kangtai comes out with something soon.

And of cos, pictures. Here goes.

LianHua = Loyalty & Honesty
eileen your face damn classic

That’s all for now. Pui’s bday bash laters.

I know I know. Always lack of updates. Sorry guys. Work was hectic, as usual. I haven’t been enjoying my weekends for the past few weeks and I felt so deprived of relaxation times. And poor Mr.Cookie. has to go through boring weekends with me. Sorry baby.

Anyway, was really glad I completed my last fight today. Okay, it wasn’t exactly the last. Sales validation next week. One thing I can say is that I’ve gotten myself into nothing easy to handle but I’ll hold on and persevere for I’ve come thus far.

However, despite my busy schedule, I managed to meet up with some of my peeps, like the Royalties, SPAMK and of cos Sha and William. Though not for long, but yeah, it was enough. More please… hehe

Dinner with the family at Long Beach last Sunday. My treat. Hehe. Food wasn’t really superb but it was good enough.

Talking about food, I have cravings for steamboat. Any interested parties?

Ending this post with of cos my favourite.

I.love.you

Good news first. Cleared HI and M5. Not easy. Almost breathless at the end of this trauma. Now to the internal. Validations and many many tests. I need a BREAK. Seriously.

Anyways, met up with the Royalties and Tok 2 weeks back (yes, super expired news now). Some of our chinese boys from our ex-class happened to be around that area, so we did a short meetup. Haha. Forced them to take silly pictures with us. Classic. And of cos’ me and vel had our “posing” session again! It’s a pity that the meetup was a pretty short one cos’ I was kind of late. Harh! Meetup soon shall we? Tok tok tok!!! Organise something soon.

Red.red.red. HUAT ah!

And just in case you guys are wondering what I’ve been busy with, well, I’m doing my job training which won’t end till mid sept. Attending courses and lessons which are really lengthy and mundane. So, I decided to make it a little more interesting by camwhoring AGAIN. Hehe* Here goes…

Audrey digging her nose. Yikes*

Just yesterday, had a little short break after my papers. Met up with Sha and William for Death Race. Surprisingly, I enjoyed the show very much. Heh. Then it was supper at no where fancy, just McDonald’s, to do our usual catchup. Our talks revolve around the usual topic, AGAIN! Harh!

Friends. What’s your definition?

P/S: When’s the next night out? Hahah
P/SS: My updates are so BORING now.

As promised, I’m back with some updates. Been having training for the past few weeks, which equates to a totally.energy.drained me. Let’s just hope all of what I’m going through is really worth fighting for.

Anyway, I’m doing this update in 2 parts due to the many many visuals that I’m gonna upload. Let’s just start off with one very joyous event, which happened I think 1 or 2 weeks back, an ex-schoolmate’s wedding. Yeah, getting hitched at an age of 22, really something that I never expect anyone I know to do, but yup, I’m really happy for her. She looks really pretty and all grown up that day, not the young little girl I know of in the past anymore.

Her wedding is also consider my first Malay wedding experience. Accompanied by Mr.Cookie. and many other ex-classmates and schoolmates, it’s like a mini reunion at no where glamorous but most importantly, a place filled with happiness and good company. Together with good and tasty authentic malay food, double happiness.

Nuff’ said, let the visuals speak now…

I looked really satisfied yes?
The boys

The girls
The group
And most of us were dressed in yellow if you haven’t realised.

I know it’s been too long since I last did a proper update. I promise it will come soon, with pictures too cos’ I’m really to hard up for time.

Anyways, for now, some joy notes.
Joy note 1) I cleared my M9 paper.
Joy note 2) Mr.Cookie. gave me a pleasant surprise. Thanks baby.

That’s all for now. I’m super-uper sleepy. Yawn!

Love.

On the last day of this July, I thought it would be good for me to update on the celebrations I did with my loved ones.

First of all, Mr.Cookie.’s grand 22nd. It’s a long story, so I’ll keep it short.

We did dinner at Furama around evening. Then took a train down to Vivo City for some short shopping. Once there, an impromptu idea struck us. We flashed our Islander pass and decided to go for a stroll at no where classy but Sentosa Island. Yes, you’ve heard it right. Though we weren’t exactly in the right attire, the night walk down the beach spells nothing but love *grins*

Our ride to Sentosa

After that, it was a slow bus ride down to the city. We dropped by for a drink while I tried my best to stall some time (you’ll know why later). To kill boredom, I started singing and irritating Mr.Cookie. who obviously thought I was acting all cranky. We checked out Timbre which Mr.Cookie. too, agreed is a nice place. Then we sat by Singapore River, had a good chat while I secretly checked my phone for SMS updates.

Then, when I thought everything’s all set, I told Mr.Cookie. that I wanted to walk around to check out the nightlife. As we walked, I told him that one of the restaurants along the stretch has a poster with the face of a “blogger” whose site I frequently visit. Then as we passed by Hooters, I dragged him into the place. And this action obviously gave him quite a little shock.

Only when he started to look around, trying to figure out what’s happening, he saw quite a number of familiar faces. And only then he knew, uh huh, a surprise for his 22nd birthday. Just to explain a little bit here, I organised a surprise for him by gathering some of his very good friends to do a cake cutting session with him. I did it once for his 21st and this is the 2nd, just that it’s smaller scale.

Then, on the actual day, we only did dinner because Mr.Cookie.’s work only ended in the evening. We has some seafood this time and you bet, it was yummilicious. And this was when I present my 2nd surprise for him on his 22nd. He was shocked plus happy and I was just contented seeing that smile on his face. I gave him his present that I got for him. Something that he has been pinning for and I got it for him. Hehe.

His phone with me as the background as well as the profile *beams*

Nuff’ said, here is something a lil’ bit more personal. Hey baby, hope you’ve enjoyed all that we did and love the present I got for you. It’s the least that I could do on your very special day. Love you love you love you.

Then the following day, did a celebration for my 2 beloved july sisters. Peektures for you?

Happy birthday too you all!!

When one has too much time on hand, one tends to do redundant stuffs. But when time never seems enough, one would yearn for a 48 hour day. What a dilemma!

Totally moodless! Roar!

In just simple words and terms, happy birthday too all beloved July babies.

I am LOSING sleep. Insomnia? I think the cause of this, exhilaration.

Mr.Cookie.’s embarking on a new journey in his life the first thing later at 830am. I hope things work out for him and that he’ll have fun fun fun during his workshop. Speaking of which, in exactly 2 weeks, I’ll be embarking on a new journey myself too. Loads of uncertainty filled in within me but I guess it’s just something I have to overcome. Baby, bear a light hearted mindset and go through this journey with ease. We’ll be in this together okay?

Family dinner at Tung Lok just a while ago. Good food, good conversation and good company. Actually, it was a celebration for the july babies in the family (da jie and er jie). By the way, their birth dates are exactly 4 days apart, 23rd and 27th respectively. I’m not disclosing the year as I can’t bear nagging sessions from them. And and and, my er jie’s birth date is the same as Mr.Cookie.’s. What coincidence yes? Shall load the pictures tomorrow instead cos’ some of them were taken with sis’s camera.

Back home, got the poker ready for some daidee session. This time, the forfeit was – getting shoot by rubber bands. Yes, that’s how crazy it was. And yours truly was definitely not spared from getting “harmed”. Check this out.

Credit to dajie. Urgh!

Anyway, recently read this book titled “Damaged” by Cathy Glass. A book about a foster parent, who encountered an 8 year old foster kid, who was sexually abused and traumatised by her parents and many other outsiders (damn). It illustrated how the life of that little girl was ruined. Inhumanity. 10 out of 5 stars I’ll rate this book. Hahaha.

That’s it people, still can’t sleep though.

Imissmybaby.

Today, I did a biggest mistake, to my closest, most important kin in my life. No doubt, guilt pierced my heart in every way. It was something small but I guess I over reacted in a totally unexpected manner. Hurting words were hurled across because of my lack of patience to listen to explanations. This is definitely something I have to change in order to be a better person. Tears were fallen but I’m glad misunderstandings were at least cleared. But that guilt, will always be remembered.

Anyway, I guess, no 3rd party can imagine how I feel.

On a brighter note, yesterday’s celebration turned our surprisingly amazing. Something that I definitely didn’t expected. Thanks to William, Shatish, Zihao and of cos Adelene and Willie for the fantastic cake. Not forgetting late night pool and “girl” watching with the boys. Hehe. More picture updates on this to come.

I’m sorry…

I woke up feeling oh.so.terrible. this morning. A mix of headache, stomach cramps, flu, super dry throat and 2 goldfish lookalike swollen eyes. I feel like sh*t now. And I have still, a long day ahead. Help me someone. Please.

My hearts tells me maybe I did wrong, but my mind says otherwise. What do I do?

It’s the 6th year, 9th month and 1 day with you. I only have 3 words – THANKS and LOVE. The following is going to sound rather cliche but heck, I’m saying it no matter what.

A day without you is like a world without sunshine. Your smile light up the road ahead of me and the road that’s facing is always never ending. That’s why I see FOREVER with you.

This month falls luckily on a Saturday and so we did a splendid celebration in no where classy but hot, humid and dirty Sentosa. More updates on that again.

I just BUSTED 120$.

Life’s so far so good! Have been telling myself not to be overly bothered by the problems that I’m facing. And indeed, I’m living a better life now. Thanks to Mum and Mr.Cookie. for ALWAYS being there, constantly reminding me that I’m never alone.

So, what have I been up to these days? Well, aside from giving tuition every now and then, I did random dates with Mr.Cookie. too, now that he has so much free time on hand to spare before his school starts. Oh ya. We watched Kungfu Panda – which was rare cos’ Mr.Cookie. was NEVER a fan of Disney productions. Anyways, the show was good.

One of my students gave this to me. Sweets.
Mr.Cookie. and Mr.Cookie?

Then, met up with the boys for some healthy living activity. We booked a badminton court at the sports complex. Feels good to sweat it out after so long. But the aftermath of this – aching ankles and arms. Haha* That goes to show how long it’s been since my last workout. Anyhoos, it was fun to the max, especially with Tok acting retarded most of the time, really tickled my nerves alot.

I love this candid
sweating it out

Supposed to meet up with Vel together with Mingzhi and Nengjie for dinner but couldn’t make it in time. A pity but I guess there’s always another time, right I hope. Haha.

Anyways if you guys (Royalties and SPAMK) are reading this, when’s the next meetup?

I’ve been hit pretty badly by the emo-bug these days. Thanks to Mr.Cookie. for standing by me all these while. I feel so vulnerable when I’m all alone. I can’t sort out my thoughts like how I did in the past. I need to stop stressing myself over issues that has been bombarding my small little brain. Cast them aside, once and for all like what Mr.Cookie. has always said. Be a happy-go-lucky bean. I need to move on.

Once again, thanks baby.

Visited Chinatown with Mr.Cookie. Hunted for the said Isetan People’s Park that Mr.Cookie. claimed to have existed. Haha. Disappointment. Saw OG instead. Went heartland shopping. Dropped by People’s Park Centre and Complex (it’s 2 different malls). Collected travel brochures. Nasty food oil air (pukes). Walked down to The Central at Clarke Quay. Dinner at Liang Court. Wasted time at PS. Took many many pictures. Home. That’s our regular Wednesday dates. What do you think?

I adore long hair

My.Cookie.

Close ups

I love that shampoo smell on your hair *sniff*

I heart Wednesdays

I have many things to update about, so please be a little bit more patient than you usually are, okie?

SO, what have I been doing these few weeks? I think I’ve been having too much fun. Harh! What to do? Who can resist fun? Not me definitely.

Mr.Cookie. and I dropped by Haw Par Villa (HPV) the other day. Yes, Haw Par Villa. What a weird and wulu place to date. But well, we wanted to go somewhere that cost us the least since we have plans to save up. Since HPV’s admission is FOC, why not right?

As expected, you wouldn’t see a crowd in HPV, especially on a weekday afternoon. First stop was to the Courts of Hell. Mr.Cookie. commented that the chilly atmosphere was felt. By the way, admission to the Courts of Hell exhibit is a dollar per pax. Well, we saw figurines of how the Chinese believe that human beings are treated after they die and go to hell. We also saw a few boards stating the crimes human beings commit and the kind of punishment that they will be entitled to. From what I read, I told Mr.Cookie. that there’s a 99.9999999% I’ll go to hell. =( Reason, you’ll go to hell if you cheat in tests/exams and if you waste food. That’s already 2 crimes out of so many that I committed. Harh!

Outside Court of Hell

Haha

I thought this monkey’s quite “ALERT” and garang! haha

I love you baby

Statue of Liberty on a Chinese Cultural tour?

After HPV, we took a bus down to Queenway Shopping Centre then to Tiong Bahru for our favourite Qiji Nasi Lemak.

Then last Saturday, met up with SPAMK (minus mouse AGAIN). We had brunch at lot 1’s newly opened New York New York. Then we dropped by Choa Chu Kang Park (deafy went off early) for more camwhoring. Fun to the max.

Haha, Hafiz and Mr.Cookie. so patriotic. Look at yours truly. Haha!

The boys.
Singaporeans! haha!

After the match, we had a mad drive in town trying to find a good place for dinner. We wasted like don’t know how many litres of petrol. But the fun was between me and hafiz, communication with tok’s newly bought walkie talkie. Haha*

I still have 1 more event to update. Tomorrow okie? Stay tuned!

Finally left the country for a short getaway at Batam. This time, accompanied by Mr.Cookie., Willie and Adelene. Things were great, minus the few situations that we encountered. Luckily, no life was put at stake. Gonna post quite abit of pictures, so bear with me?

Day 1
Met Willie and Adelene at Harbourfront Centre on a pretty early Sunday morning. Went to the ticket counter and collected our travel passes before we head to MacDonald’s for brekkie. I was so excited about the trip since this was somehow my first without my family.

Candid
Mr.Cookie. looks like some Amazing race contestant here =)

Went through the Singapore customs with my renewed passport *grins* and board the ferry. Was feeling jumpy throughout the trip while the rest of them napped. And before we knew it, Batam was within sight and we made our first step on this foreign ground.

The “sentosa cove” – batam version

The ride to the hotel was really bumpy. The roads were rather disorganised and the place really gave me an experience of a kampung lifestyle. You’ll see alot of the roadside stalls selling staple food like rice and noodles – interesting.

Reached the hotel, but we couldn’t check in yet cos’ the room wasn’t ready. So we waited at the lobby, and they served us some chilled welcome drink. The hotel is a mini replica of the Star Cruise and the concept is a mix of European and Oriental. After a while of waiting, we were issued our key cards and we took our baggages, left it in the room and off to our first stop – Megamall.

The portrait on the ceiling
Paparazzi? Where?

Lunch was at KFC. I only have one comment, Batam Chili is crazily spicy but it’s nice. I’m not picky when it comes to food. Still prefer Singapore’s KFC though. After lunch, we had A&W’s rootbeer float for dessert. Yummilicious! Then we shopped around. The mall was insanely crowded. They had some celebration thing happening in the mall, so, making the mall not only crowded but NOISY. Checked out the newly opened cinema and bought the tickets for Skinwalkers (some gory show that I didn’t wanna watch but went along cos I didn’t wanna be a spoilsport).

Men/Women’s room?? They are actually toilets. haha

And then, as we were shopping, tragedy happened. We were walking into the hypermart, when Adelene turned to Willie and exclaimed “Why is your bag unzipped?” Willie checked his bag and realised his wallet was missing. Yeah, so he got pickpocketed. It’s such a mishap, dampened the mood a little, but we decided, the holiday must still go on. One lucky thing is that he took out all his ATM and credit cards so Willie wasn’t totally penniless.

After the movie, we decided that it was kind of late, so bought dinner and went back to the hotel.

Dinner

Something funny we saw at the hotel

The lazy Mr.Cookie.
Morning Batam

After breakfast, it was time for some water activities. We went swimming at the hotel’s pool. The water was freaking cold and I was trembling when in the pool. My teeth couldn’t stop chattering and Mr.Cookie. had to pass me some warmth. Hahaha. But I decided to just sink myself underwater and after a while, I was swimming like a nemo *giggles* Soon, our fingers got wrinkly and we washed up before we set off to our next stop – Nagoya Plaza.

Doraemon pancake

Did abit of shopping before we lunched at BFC. Ate some Ayam Soto which I felt was so so. Think Mr.Cookie.’s fried rice tasted better. A&W-ed again and did a bit of arcade before we head back to the hotel. Mr.Cookie. and I called up the massage service and we relaxed and loosened up our nerves. The traditional massage was a little painful, a little ticklish but shiok to the max. Money well spent indeed. Afterwhich, headed down to Golden Prawn for some seafood feast (the best meal excluding the hotel breakfast). The food was made fresh, serving was big, and price was cheap. Tummy satisfied and went back to the hotel.

Mr.Cookie. was so shagged, we slept rather early.

Day 3
Was among the first to wake up. Bathed and all, then packed up our baggages a little. Woke Willie and Adelene up then went for brekkie. Went back to the room to rest abit more before we check out and the driver picked us up to the ferry terminal. Decided to get a later ferry back to Singapore so that we can shop abit more. But we all know, good things must come to an end. Soon, we were on our way back to our homes, waving bye bye to the foreign land.

haha
Look at how they sell their nuggets and sausages. I was thinking, let’s buy 1 hotdog home. haha

Bye Batam!

As promised, after a series of compiling, I’m here with updates of my Graduation and the cooking session. Batam updates will come soon, when I’m feeling less exhausted.

Anyway, my graduation was a blast, except for some “hay wires” here and there. It’s more like a gathering with friends I haven’t met ever since the last paper in the final semester. The ceremony took quite a while, which was sort of expected because Business school is so big.

All the graduands were dressed up in their pretty graduation robes, and so did I. I was joking about us looking like a fairer replica of Justice Bao. The robe, which looks really good on all graduands, was bulky as well. I accidentally stepped on my “neighbour”’s robe on a few occasion *oops*.

That’s me by the way – receiving the scroll
With Robert Gunawan
Spot the odd one out

However, it was a pity that all my friends were rushing to leave after the ceremony – which means, a very short cam whoring session. Don’t know when we’ll see each other again, I wonder.

Went for my own planned graduation dinner with Mr.Cookie. at Ichiban Sushi. Great dinner, great company. Then dropped by Jurong, as suggested by Mr.Cookie. to have our own photoshoot. heh*

Mr.Cookie. struggling with the chopsticks. So adorable, right?

Yum yum Mr.Cookie. Hehe*

Elmo tagged along

Happy graduation Mr.Cookie. =)

Had some shots with the family as well – without makeup. Ahahahaha* All Natural shots I’ll call them.

Parents I love

Sisters for life
I kind of like this shot

Then Mr.Cookie. suggested another photoshoot session. Haha. Yes, we’re crazy! This time, to a place we always wanted to go.

pretty flowers I like and I love. Caramel frappe

I wanna stay on the mountain top

Bangkok bangkok BK when?

Strip tease

Other pictures “kopped” from Siti

Spent the following day at Bowling’s place for a totally impromptu cooking session. Initial plan was for Wild Wild Wet, but because most of them were not enthusiastic about it, so it was put off. We cooked so much food that I think we didn’t even finish half of them. But it was a really good and fun experience.

Struggling to open up the can of luncheon meat

from this
to this Once a batok mate, always a batok mate. *winks*

I have so many pictures on hand that I wanna post – graduation, cooking session at bowling’s and the batam trip. Feeling lazy lazy lazy. Give me some time. Shall post it up soon. Promise ok?

I’m so glad things are improving between you and me. Yay yay yay!

Will be back with more updates!

Hurting words were hurled at each other, but we all know, deep down, we never meant what was blurted out. Those words were totally unintentional and came out only in a fit of anger. We all know, at least I do. The aftermath of this – broken and shattered hearts.

I’m sorry things always have to end up the way it is. I know, the obstacles in my inner mind is obstructing smooth progression. I’m guilty for this and I have no reason to argue and put blames on you. I know you’ve done your best, providing the right amount of assurances every now and then. I repeat, the problem is about me and nothing to do with you. You’ve always done your best, but I admit I haven’t been putting in enough effort to appreciate what you have given. This traumatic barrier has been putting a toil on me. You’re absolutely right about the need to put those fears aside and move on. Yes, I’ve thought about it and judging the state that we’re in now, there is an urgent need for bad things to be thrown out of my emotional window. But I really hope to be granted some time for this.

Right now, I hope it’s not too late for this now. Happy 6 years, 8 months and a day now. Baby, I’ll always love you.

However, took time out to go to the Singapore Expo with Mr.Cookie. with a hope to hunt for some good buys. Initial plan was for the Adidas sale which was a GREAT disappointment. We dropped by the Food Expo, which was C.R.O.W.D.E.D. We had aunties squeezing their way through, cutting queues, snatching for free samples yadayadayada. Bought some fried chicken which obviously had not undergone any Q.C checks. Tried the Popular sale and Robinsons sale which was better off i.e. more walking spaces and better air to breathe. Mr.Cookie. tugged a big bag of buys from Robinsons while yours truly got some comestics and body care products. Cheap cheap cheap.

The only pathetic picture of the day

After that was dinner with Mr.Cookie. and my family at Causeway Point Swensens. Dinner was good but I guess Mum’s crazy antics shocked Mr.Cookie. abit, right dear? haha* But Mum’s really cute with those sunglasses yes? *giggles* Well, at least we know where I inherited the craziness playfulness from.

I’m gonna do this entry in pointers:

• The 2nd sis brought my camera to Taiwan which explains why I haven’t been updating any visuals
• Met up with the Royalties last Sunday for Xiuhui’s birthday dinner at Suntec Kuishin Bo
• We did arcade and neoprints which reminded us of our younger days *not that we are very old now*
  
• I did something exciting today and I ain’t gonna reveal it *giggle*
• I’m suffering from a very bad tummyache
• I PS-ed my beloved friends for dinner because of the pain
  
• I ate my favourite curry mum cooked despite having a very bad ache
• I feel truly loved and blessed by mum and Mr.Cookie.
  
• My mense came in time and I’m going for my getaway in comfort
• Tomorrow’s Wednesday meaning a good date with Mr.Cookie.

Short and sweet isn’t it? Goodnights.

The happier times on our random dates.

7th May

my “masked” up new love

Spring colours

10th May

The carpark queueAwww… sweetness

I see that red baby*

Hands off Naughty Cookie
Beautiful*

Wired up

Grumpy cos’ I was SO super hungry and the food hasn’t come

See that curry chicken?? I like… LOVE

That’s all for now. Peace out!

Knowing the truth hurts, but it beats being kept in the dark and never knowing the truth ever. The only way to handle the hurting truth, I figured, is to accept and face it, overcome it and get by with it. It’s difficult to pretend things are okay when they are obviously not. The mind says to let go but the heart says to persevere. So what do I do? Which path do I take?

Enough said. I live on extremely stormy grounds now. Can only pray hard for it to stabilise.

By the way, does Karma really exist? I think it does. And right now I’m serving my own share. Serves me right.

Destroyed.Damaged.That’s me.

I feel it, you feel it
That this was meant to be
That you were made for me
We can’t deny this any longer
Day by day we’re getting stronger
We’re like Romeo and Juliet
Families can’t divide us
Like the tallest mountain or the widest sea
Nothing’s big enough to hide us.
You’re an angel, you’re an angel
This world, this world.
Could leave us anyday
My love for you, it will never go away.
And I don’t wanna go to sleep
Cuz’ you are like a dream
For every night I say a prayer,
And I swear you are the answer
You’re an angel, you’re an angel, you’re an angel.
What we have is made of gold
We’re so filled with meaning,
Nothing can make us shallow.
So I hold it, and you hold it
The promise of tomorrow.
I don’t need three wishes
I just need one
For us to never be finished
For us to never be done
When they say it’s over
We’ll just say I love you
And when they say it’s finished
We’ll just keep on building.

Hope it’s not too late now. ilu* Happy 79th

I wore my vintage sandals out with Mr.Cookie. on our usual Wednesday dates. I love the mustard colour shine. Mum says she used to wear one of such shoes in her younger days. Mum and daughter has similar taste I guess. And she’s telling me that she wants a similar pair in another colour. Maybe I should get it for her then we can wear out together, yes? Hehe*

So, on this day, Mr.Cookie. and I did Billy Bombers for lunch AGAIN. Yes, again. We had our usual dosages of cheese fries. While he had his fish and chips (again), I had a tasty treat of roasted chicken. We were so starved that we finished a table full of food in just 30 minutes. After which, we watched Harold and Kumar 2 at The Cathay. Saw a few friends along the way – Sigmund and his babe, Alan Hong, Robin and his babe. The show was so-so I feel. Not exactly the kind of show I will say “Wow” to. I wanted to catch “What Happens in Vegas” but ALL the tickets for ALL timeslots were sold out. Sadness.

Some random shots.

Mr.Cookie. meets Elmo
fOOd galore*
Popoye the Sailor Man – BOO BOO
Mr.Cookie. took this pic that I really love alot*
And he just can’t stop laughing at how gluttony I look here…
but the fact is he’s a glutton too, a BIG one!

After the movie, we walked down to Suntec then to Raffles City. We ate more food (remember I said I had a good appetite?) at Toastbox. I love their toasts. Very thick and fragrant.

ilu*

Yesterday was Labour’s Day, which happens to fall on a Thursday, so me and Mr.Cookie. had the privilege of spending 2 consecutive days together. Loads of loving. We went to Cityhall to check out some stuffs before we dropped by Vivo City for dinner and a little bit of shopping. Managed to grab something from Topshop. Nice nice nice. Saw Renee at Vivo. She’s working at “Awfully Chocolate”. Shall drop by there someday to buy some cakes. The chocolate fudge cake looks so tempting. And since she’s working there, I think I may be able to buy it at a discounted price *hopeful*

dressing like a ballerina*

After dinner, we went to GIANT for some grocery shopping. And guess what I bought there? Yes! You’re right. More food. Like seriously, I don’t know how much weight I’m gonna gain at this rate. I really need to control a little bit. Hor? *sigh*

More outings please!!! =)

My hair is messy, my face has breakouts, my body is under going high metabolism (meaning, I cannot stop eating) *Roar*

I think my appetite is getting very big nowadays. I always get hungry just after a heavy meal. I kept eating junk. Even Mr.Cookie. cannot stand me. Yesterday when we were out, and I kept looking for food, Mr. Cookie. exclaimed: “CAN YOU STOP EATING!!!!!!!?????” Hahahahahaha* So mean!! Can’t even eat when I’m hungry. I guess he’s just trying to save himself from the aftermath cos’ everytime after I junked, I will whine and whine about how fat I’m getting. Hoohoohoo!!!

The weather is ridiculous these days. I sweat from a 5 mins walk from my house to the MRT station and I can’t stop getting thirsty. Global warming is CRAZY! Are we really burning up? Hmmm…

I’m so glad cos’ Mr.Cookie. and I are gonna go book tickets for our getaway trip tonight!!! Hooray!!! It’s been so long!!!!!!!!!! We ‘re only getting it tomorrow. Boo!!!!!

I’m getting too random. Alrighty! Pictures update next, so watch out for it.

Happy weekends people!

I had an eventful week. Took up a few new tuition assignments. I love being busy, beats nothing to do. Time pass faster in a way and it’s self satisfying to accomplish so much.

This weekend saw us at Tampines Ikea and GIANT Megastore. It was a long planned outing that was very delayed. Nonetheless, we made it. Ikea Alexandra is currently under some revamp, so, alot of things that we wanted to get cannot be found there. Ikea Tampines is really AMAZING. They have really huge showrooms that are spacious and pretty. All their stuffs are arranged neatly in rows and shelves which makes it easier to shop in the huge store.

Oooh, Mr.Cookie. <3

After furniture shopping, we hopped over to GIANT, which is just opposite, for grocery shopping. I love grocery shopping. I like to look for interesting food that I never tried before. This GIANT practically has everything – from electrical appliances to food and non-food to sports items to CDs and DVDs to camping equipments to stationeries to storybooks and assessment books. Haha* Wonder if they are trying to compete with Popular. Bought sushi and crackers where we had a little feast in the car simply cos’ we were too hungry. Loads of fun.

Nice sunsets

Oh, did I mention I finally met Eileen for our long overdued Kbox session? Yes we did singing for close to 4 hours. Surprisingly, our throats didn’t sore after the session, which meant we actually used our diaphragms to sing, right? Hehe* We couldn’t dance around cos’ the room was simply too cold and we forgot our jackets. So, we were nearly frozen in the rooms. Eileen remarked this “Air Con free is it?” hahaha* So much of saving the earth from global warming huh?

Mum and daughter telepathy? Yes, that’s how I will describe it.

The night I broke down into tears, I thought I’ll be all alone. But no! Mum’s got the sign and she knows how terrible I felt. And with this gesture, I cried even harder. With mum trying to calm me down with every comforting stroke, I know, I will never be alone, even if the world turns against me. It came at such a right moment. Thanks mum, for understanding me like no one else does. Thanks. I lub you!

Tutor-tutee bonding session the other day. We had steamboat at Coca at Taka. The food was so-so, the service, 100% excellence, the ambience, 100% perfection. A pity things turned bad due to some personal issues, but, I’m glad all’s fine now. Went shopping and bought 2 beauties. Loves.

Met up with the darlings like finally. Attendance’s better this time round. Credits to bowling. Love you dear.

Bought donuts for them since I was in town with Mr.Cookie. earlier. Though the meetup was pretty short, but at least we did, right? A pity Minyi wasn’t able to join. Never minds, cos’ there’s bound to be another meetup yes? Camwhored as usual. And Deafy left off early as usual, urgh, while the rest sat around at MOS burger. Let the visuals do the talking now.

Attendance sheet

We tried and tried just to fit everyone nicely into the picture

I look so “auntie” here

And I’m already missing them. Let’s meet again!!

Good weekend. Medal of Honour. Prata and Maggi Goreng. Pending overseas trip.

My current favourite

Check out pic 3 – Mr.Cookie. just have to scare me with that. Urgh*

Just what in the world did I do wrong to have been subjected to such treatment? Not once, but twice in a single run. Thanks to you. What a lousy start. Goodnight people.

Just the other day, had a farewell lunch for nurul dearest. She’s leaving for the US for about 5 weeks. Hope she’ll get used to the hectic life there. And a special shout out to her, please do take care of yourself and call us out when you’re back. Remember to get us goodies from there. Haha* Have fun and all the best.

We’re gonna miss you*

Every Wednesdays are Mr.Cookie. days, so we went downtown, as usual. We made used of the complimentary vouchers and lunched at Billy Bombers. It was a hearty lunch that left us with a big bloated stomach each after the meal. We had our usual dosages of cheese fries (all time favourite) and other main courses. I had chicken wings that are stirred fried with lots of chili and vinegar, which made the wings a bit too sourish for my liking. I had to scrape off some of the sauces and dip the chicken with loads of chili and ketchup, which made it taste better. But any lunch date with Mr.Cookie. is good even if it’s just drinking water, right?

Hungry me= Angry me= Moody me

I stained by new tunic. Blame the sauces.

Then we shopped around and the spendthrift me got 2 bags for myself. It was love at first sight and I got a little lecturing from Mr.Cookie. Boo! Hahaha* But at the end of the day, I was a really satisfied shopper.

My favourite days are Wednesdays and Saturdays!

I guess I’ve been missing out a lot on blogging. The week has been an emotional toil for me. So many unhappy things happened. I’m glad they have already been resolved by now.

Some of my friends have gotten their University Admission packages and I haven’t seen any for myself. Sigh* I can only wait, but waiting can be frustrating.

On a happier note, I got my graduation invitation. Need to remind myself to rent the robe and to get a white blouse for the event. So many things to note. How to remember like that?

I’m going out soon. More later on.

Today’s a really special day for someone special in my life – the one who gave me my life, the one who cares and loves me more than anyone else, the one whom i also hurt the most, the one who always forgive me for every mistake i did, the one i love forever in my life. That’s right, it’s mum’s birthday.

We had an early celebration at Kuishinbo (correct spelling?) Suntec on Sunday. It’s some Japanese buffet, and they have almost everything you want to find in Japanese cuisine. The place is good, but the comfort not so good. The seats are very crampy and walking spaces are very narrow. The price, a bit steep, for someone who can’t eat much in buffets. Anyways, it’s for mum, so heck the price. Food wise, it’s fresh so, it’s good.

Actually, took loads of pictures, but due to “special” demands for not appearing on my blog, I’m only gonna put up a few.

The long long crab legs. Still prefer the asian crabs though.

That’s me, mum and dad

Last but not the least, the birthday girl lady. Haha*

Just wanna wish you the best in everything, in life, in work and most importantly in health. I know sometimes your 3 lovely children can be a hassle, but you still love us, right?, and we love you too. Happy birthday mummy!!! I LOVE YOU!

I realised I have many clothes in my wardrobe that I’ve stopped wearing. Was thinking of putting them up on sale on my blog since they’re still new and good, but I have doubts that linger. I don’t know how intense my blog’s viewership is, so maybe if I put them up, there may not be any interested buyers.

So, I need the help of those silent readers (if any), if you think there is a market, do leave me a comment. I will really appreciate that.

P/S: I’m sorry

As we strolled under the street lights in silence, we thought of what was conversed, reflected on the rights and the wrongs. Was glad it turned out well. We played with camera functions and decided to invest in one of those SLRs, one day. When? We don’t know. But one day, it will come.

F1 lights

Mr.Cookie.’s favourite pic, though i look like crap

Flash that spot light*

That’s all folks!

I know this came a little too late, but still, happy 78th now. Love you plenty!

More updates tmr! Good night people!

Another impromptu date to Dempsey Hill with Mr.Cookie. and Tok on Thursday night. Before that, I went for lunch with Mr.Cookie. then to his place for him to bathe and get ready. The girls couldn’t make it because of work, studies and other own commitments, which explains the “pathetic” companionship *haha* Still, they managed to turn this outing into an interesting one. You’ll find out why.

I brought my BIG BIG sunnies out on this humid day =)

Look who’s there?

The place is very peaceful especially since it’s a thursday night. We ben and jerry’s-ed. The ambience is 4 outta 5 stars I would say. A very wonderful place to hang out with friends and family especially if you’re looking for a place to just sit down in peace, away from the city lights and to talk about old grandfather and grandmother’s stories. There are restaurants and bars all around and guess what we saw? LONG BEACH seafood. I saw from the outside the interior design of the restaurant, and I would say PERFECTION. Plus the crabs with the big pincers!!! Shall we go there on mum’s birthday? Heh*

So, after slacking around ben and jerry’s, the camwhoring kick started kicking. We had props this time round, check this out.

Mr.Cookie.

Tok

I shared this amazing thing with Mr.Cookie.

Fun is beginning to start!!!

Future bus conductors?
Classic
Mr.Cookie. turned Cowboy?

Spot that weirdo Tok

They need a tow

Interesting? Well, I thought it was. Whatever it is, I had fun and that’s enough. A date with Mr.Cookie. later. Wonder where he is now. Till then, more updates to come!! Have a great weekend!

I’ve been sick for close to a week and is still not getting any better. Blame myself for not eating my medicine regularly. I have my reasons for this. The flu medicine makes me drowsy for at least 2 days each time I consume it. So I decided to just skip it. Save all the trouble. Heh*

On the first day when I got sick, I woke up with a really bad, swollen eye. It was so bad I had to skip school. But, after a little more rest, the swell somehow went off by itself, but I got a terrible flu and sore throat as an exchange. Terrible. Still, this did not stop me from meeting Mr.Cookie. after school. We went down to Queensway wanting to print some materials from a book. But because of copyrights law, I didn’t print anything in the end. It’s so annoying because all I wanted to print was a few pages, not like it’s the entire book, so what copyright laws are they talking about. Urgh*** Walked around somemore, but I felt more sick, so decided to head home to visit the doc.

On Wednesday, me, bowling, Mr.Cookie., Hafiz and Shatish went down to Kallang National Stadium to watch the Lions play against the Lebanons. Deafy was supposed to join but she was ill. Poor girl. Anyways, it was a virgin experience for me. Credits to bowling for explaining the match to me. She even explained the offside rule and I finally got it. Boos to the boys for laughing at me for not knowing the rules! Hmpf!

Then yesterday, Mr.Cookie. brought me to AMK hub again because he needed to get something from a neighbourhood shop there. Once done, we took a bus to town and found alot of nice places along the way. Plans to drive there were made. Yay!! Was feeling quite terrible and having a lack of appetite because I couldn’t  stop coughing and the feeling of vomit kept coming into me. However, I did manage to finish my dinner which was amazing. But after dinner, I felt like dying. The food that went in kept wanting to make their way out again. And because of this, I saw the sweeter side of Mr.Cookie. Thanks dear.

The roads became the highlights

Foilage

I bought a new love yesterday.

More of it

I like this pic* Adorable

Thanks Mr.Cookie. You’re the BEST!

I love it when you whisper sweet nothings and plant that kiss on my lips. Total sweetness… I like!

New updates of my life:

Have been overworking for the past few weeks with minimal rest. Can see my panda eyes appearing already, so UGLY!! Eeeyer!

Anyways, my new job’s pretty interesting, although it drains about 90% of my daily energy. And because of this, my appetite seems to be getting bigger and bigger each day. However, it’s fulfilling in a way, and for me, a new kind of experience. One more week till the term ends, hopefully they extend the period for me.

There’s so many things that I wanna do but can’t because I need to save money for my year end trip with Mr.Cookie. and friends. So cannot anyhow spend money. Control control CONTROL!!

I am getting very random because I don’t know what to say. I’m having very bad cramps I think my period is coming. It’s irritating the kind of bloatedness I’m experiencing! This is one bad thing being a woman.

I’m logging off before this entry gets too boring. Till more updates people.

I had my results released 2 days ago. It wasn’t too bad yet, not too good either. If that C+ up one grade to a B, then I’ll be the happiest girl around. I had a very average graduating GPA, so I’ll be lucky if I manage to squeeze into a place in NTU or NUS. Please please please, grant me this small wish. Whatever it is, let fate decide my destiny.

P/S: And to those who have showed their concern, I’m fine and will be fine. Appreciate life now.

One more day to doomsday! Yes, results will be out tomorrow, 9am. Zero confidence for this semester. Really. I was telling Mr.Cookie. the other day that I’ll be jumping with joy if I can get all Bs at least and if I see an A, I’ll FLY! Sigh* Tomorrow will decide if I will go into the Uni successfully. If I don’t, I’ll be stepping into the cycle of job searching. All the best to me!

When you get caught in the rain with no where to run
When you’re distraught and in pain without anyone
When you keep cryin out to be saved but nobody comes
And you feel so far away that you just can’t find your way home
You can get there alone
It’s ok, what you say

“I can make it through the rain
I can stand up once again on my own and I know that I’m strong enough to mend
And every time I feel afraid
I hold tighter to my faith and I live one more day and I make it through the rain”

And if you keep falling down, don’t you dare give in
You will arise safe and sound, so keep pressing on steadfastly and
you’ll find what you need to prevail
what you say

“I can make it through the rain
I can stand up once again on my own and I know that I’m strong enough to mend
And every time I feel afraid
I hold tighter to my faith and I live one more day and I make it through the rain”

And when the wind blows
And shadows grow close
Don’t be afraid
There’s nothing you can’t face
And should they tell you, you’ll never pull through

Don’t hesitate, stand tall and say

“I can make it through the rain
I can stand up once again on my own and I know that I’m strong enough to mend
And every time I feel afraid I hold tighter to my faith
And I live one more day and I make it through the rain
And I can make it through the rain and stand up once again
And I live one more day and I, I can make it through the rain
Oh yes you can,
You’re gonna make it through the rain”

P/S: I need to be stronger, for myself, and my love ones

Today has got to be one of the worst days of my life. I had my day’s events slowly cancelled out on me and things started going wrong from there. I had negative thoughts pouring into me every now and then. I just thought I could vent it all out in this tiny medium here.

Mr.Cookie. and I went for a short weekend getaway to make up for our Valentine’s day celebration. It was fantabulous! Personally, I had plenty of fun, I don’t know about Mr.Cookie. but I guess he did too heh*

We went to a good place, had a good dinner and of cos’ had quality time together. Nuff’ said, the pictures will tell! (beware: a lot of pictures of yours truly cos’ Mr.Cookie. didn’t had the mood to take pictures. Urgh*)

My lunch

I adore my new cap =)

I love holidaying with YOU

International buffet* Yays!Then I saw Doraemon’s favourite food…so we decided to do a clone! haha* (lame)

We were so full after dinner that our stomaches got bloated with air. I was feeling really terrible and I just kept forcing myself to burp. Until I really couldn’t take it, we decided to go back for some rest. We did soccer matches (where I witness man utd’s terrible defeat, haha), tears of the sun and some taiwan variety shows. The only thing that was lacking – midnight snacks.

Then, morning came and it’s time to say goodbye to the wonderful weekend (so can’t bear to).

A note to the love: Thanks for this wonderful weekend. Every minute spent with you always seemed so precious and memorable. And of cos the time spent together is never ever enough. I see a lifetime with you baby, ilu*

P/S: another holiday soon? Bangkok? Bintan? Shall we?

As promised, I’m here with backdated updates, accompanied with plentiful of visuals. This time, updating with my laptop, and credits go to Mr.Cookie. Thanks a lot baby, you’re the BEST! Anyways, please be patient with me as this entry will be super super long…

28th Feb
Met with with my poly loves (siti and bowling) for a short lunch. The rest didn’t make it cos’ it was impromptu and they already had plans on. However, as the saying goes – “whoever can come, come. whoever cannot, too bad for you”. The afternoon was a great one, with heaps of laughter and food. We ate at the food court and desserts at Swensen’s again! We spent quite some time there, talking and playing and of cos’ taking pictures.

After we got sick of the place, we left and went to the nearby library to chill. We sat on tiny benches at the children’s section and did handicrafts. Yes, I did cross stitches and bowling did some wood craft. It made me wonder, 10 years down the road, will all of us still meet and sit down in a round circle, doing the same crazy things again…

Soon, it was time for home and we went berserk on the almost empty train. Yes, we took more pictures and it was funny. More meet ups shall we?

29th Feb
It’s the LEAP year!!!!!!!!!!! Comes every 4 years!!! Woohoo!!!! Hahhahaa… ok ok… so on this leap year…

Met Mr.Cookie. after his school ended and we went on a day tour. First stop was ICA to collect my new passport. We had a shock when we got our queue number cos’ there were like 105 people ahead of me. Luckily, the system was pretty efficient and I didn’t have to wait very long. Walked down to beach road for lunch. I had this pepper loaded ikan bilis fried rice, which tasted quite good, but a little too spicy.

We then drove down to the next stop – Mustafa Centre. It was our virgin visit. The mall was HUGE! It’s like a everything-under-one-roof kind of shopping centre. However, things were not ridiculously cheap like what everyone has being lamenting about. It’s actually quite close to market pricing. I bought a calculator there though. Their pay first, collect later buying system sort of intrigues me. You tell the staff what you want, they write down the product code on a piece of pink paper, you bring the pink paper to the cashier, bring the receipt back to the counter, and then you get your purchase.

We went up to the grocery section and I saw this GIANT size cornflakes. It’s about the size of a 5kg detergent box. Who would eat so much cornflakes? Hahaha*

Spent around an hour or so there and we drove down to Funan, which was quite near, to get my external hard disk for my data backup. Mr.Cookie. got himself a cheap watch. Was so tired I fell asleep in the car.

Flaunting his new purchase

1st March

Went to Vivo City to watch the Leap Years at GV max. Nice show but not tear triggering. Saw a couple of people crying though. The show played a lot of Corraine May’s songs. Nice!!!

The big big GV max

2nd March
Met up with the Royalties. Another impromptu meetup. Velda came late because she had church and left early cos’ she has family dinner. Xiuhui brought us to this place in Bugis that sells delicious and cheap food. Shall bring mum and dad one day. Didn’t take much pictures cos’ it was a wet and rainy afternoon.

5th March
Our 77th monthniversary. I don’t remember doing anything special on that day, just a short lunch together. Despite that, still love you plenty. More to come yes? Huggs*

I lub you*

7th March
Went to have my haircut, with Mr.Cookie. accompanying me (realised we’ve been meeting a lot heh*). And because we were early, we walked around town shopping for stuffs. And I decided to bring my geeky specs out today and had some fun with it. It was a long but enjoyable day.

I like to play with my cameraGeeks in town

I like cupcakes!

Okay, now after so much updates, I’m sleepy!!! More to come!

Goodnight people*

Life’s pretty much the same, except that I have more free time to meet my friends, to slot in more sessions of tuition and also to spend more time with my loves. Pictures will be up once my new hard disk arrive. 

Don’t know whether it’s because I’m not updating using my laptop, suddenly, I feel like I don’t know what to write. Will update in a day or two. Shall remind myself to call up IBM tomorrow so that I can get my hard disk latest by tuesday.
 

P/S: This week’s gonna be Gre8t!

I just came back from a job interview which went off pretty well. The only boos-boos was that they actually prefer a full time or permanent candidate even though they specified that part timers are welcomed. Due to my tuition commitments, I cannot comply to their required working hours plus the location that she’s hoping for me to go to is in town, which makes it even more inconvenient. The interviewer’s really nice – she tried to give in to most of my requests and even promised to help me keep a look out for any opportunities that I may fit into. Shan’t mention what job I interviewed for. However, if I can’t make it to Uni this time round, I might consider this as one of my career choices. Till then, tuition commitments are my priority. Maybe I should try RT too. We’ll see how…

On a happier happier note, Mr.Cookie. got his wish granted! So happy for him. Really! Things are getting better and smoother for him. I’m really excited for him. I don’t know why. Heh* So baby, gotta work hard from now on alright? No more slacking… you need to start planning for OUR future. Get it? keke*

I am so irritated that I need to change my plans for tomorrow because ICA can only give me my passport on Friday. Urgh**

Whatever it is, let me just enjoy my holidays first!!!!

P/S: Cleo’s event at Zouk on the 14th, should I?

(edited at 740pm)

This afternoon, I had the most interesting video conferencing with Mr.Cookie.’s nephew. Hahah* He’s really adorable, one of the few cuter ones I’ve seen so far. Here’s an excerpt of how it goes..

Me: Eh naughty boy! Hello naughty boy!
Adel: Hi auntie (looking really amazed to see me on the phone)
Me: Naughty boy doing what?
Adel: eh eh eh (shys away from the camera)
Mr.Cookie.: Say hello auntie
Adel: hello auntie (wave then quickly shys away)

And the above kept repeating cos’ the boy’s really to shy to see me over the phone.

Then I called Mr.Cookie. instead of video calling. This time, Adel picked up the phone and I was pretty amazed by the words that came from that 2 year old kid.

Adel: Auntie you go where?
Me: Auntie go school la
Adel: Go school, where’s school?
Me: School is there!
Adel: There!
Me: Adel got go school or not?
Adel: YES!
Me: You like?
Adel: YES!
Me: Adel got how many friends in school?
Adel: TWO!
Me: 2 only? What’s their names?
Adel: Name?????
Me: Adel what’s your name?
Adel: Name????
Me: Adel what’s your name? Say my name is A-D-E-L!
Adel: Adel!
Me: So what’s your name?
Adel: ADEL!
Me: How old are you?
Adel: THREE!
Me: 3? Not 2?
Adel: 3 la!
Me: No! Adel is 2 years old! So how old is Adel?
Adel: TWO!
Me: And what’s your name?
Adel: ADEL!
Me: Yes la! Smart boy! Okay la, pass the phone!
Adel: Okay! Bye auntie!
Me: Okay bye! Auntie love you!
Adel: love you (drops the phone)

hahahahahahahah, told you guys he’s adorable and smart too!!! And just the other day, he asked Mr.Cookie. when am I going to visit him. Isn’t he the sweetest kid around?

I believe that the recent tragedy of the famous Hong Kong actress, Lydia Sum is definitely no more a fresh news to many. As for me, I really have nothing to comment about her death since my knowledge and my impression of her is a rather vague one. My respect is dedicated, however, more towards her daughter. I was surfing the youtube yesterday afternoon and found a few clips featuring her, one of which is a recent MV. No doubt Lydia Sum has forked out money for her singing career (i read this somewhere in the newspapers), she proved herself capable. I have to say that she has an amazing voice – at least, I was touched by her a little. I do feel the pinch for her, losing her loved ones (mum and grandmother) in such a short span of time. She’s only 21, just like yours truly, but I guess comparing her courage and her determination, I am really nothing. Not only does she need to manage her emotional trauma, she has to face the media and handle all the necessary for her mum’s death. The reporters are also not making things easier for her. I believe that this juncture, she will rather prefer to be alone and to sort her thoughts out. Whatever it is, I guess no third party can ever imagine the pain she’s going through and we as outsiders are really not in any position to interfere with her life.

Anyway, I just wanna share this with all my friends, although it’s a chinese song, but the melody can really melt your hearts (my tears welled up while listening). So do listen…

連心 (hearts-to-hearts)
女:你站在我后面支撑我更勇敢 (you stood behind me with support that makes me stronger)
我能超越大海我能跨过高山 (for me to cross all obstacles that’s ahead)
男:我站在你后面我陪在你身边 (i stood behind you, always by your side)
当你遇到任何困难我会与你分担 (when you face problems, i’ll share the burden with you)
女:你给我的温暖让我走出暗澹 (you gave me warmth for me to walk out of this ordeal)
这份真挚情感深到海底远过天边 (so great to even be measured upon)
男:我就在你身边一切为你承担 (i stood beside you always, to help you take up the responsibility of everything)
我们俩的心手相连共度年份一年 (we both stood hand in hand, spending our lives together)
合:真爱永不改变不能缺少一半 (true love will never change and never lessen)
一步一个脚印脚印迭在一起 (walking together)
一直走到永远 (forever and ever)

The red lines are sung by Lydia Sum’s daughter and the blue lines are sung by this guy who is said to be one fo Lydia Sum’s good friends. Somehow, I feel like he’s singing on behalf of Lydia Sum though.

P/S: My translation is based on what I understand, may not be accurate.. hahaha*
P/SS: This is a very random entry

I’m so glad now that exams is O.V.E.R!!! Been studying really hard this time, but the verdict is… NOT SO GOOD!! *Sigh* I hope to get at least ‘B’s for all my modules, which is, I think a big big challenge. Can only pray that the tutors are lenient.

On a higher note, went out with deafy and bowling after our paper. Siti and Pui were supposed to join us but because they have last minute commitments, we were left alone. Wanted to eat Seoul Garden but we think the Friday dinner price is way over, so we settled for Breeks instead. And after dinner, we had desserts at Swensens – our EARTHQUAKE!!! *slurps* Ate like a pigg.

with deafy the donkey

not forgetting my batok love

Then after dinner, we went to the arcade to de-stress. It was fun-o-fun!!! We played many many games and screamed a lot too. I just love spending time with these 2 crazy people. More outings please even though it’s end of the semester le! I don’t wanna stop seeing you… hahaha so emo!!!

And now that I’m free from all commitments, I wanna make a list of to-dos for this break. These are the things I need and MUST do:

1.to replace my passport
2.learn to cook some nice tasty thai and korean food
3.get into a course in the uni
4.go on a trip if possible
5.register for driving
6.go to the beach for some tanning
7.meet up with the Royalties
8.meet up with my poly friends
9.steamboat
10.go clubbing, maybe…

and the list will continue while I think of more.

Ok, I wanna go watch my vcds. Updates soon…

On a very happy note, I’m going out with Mr.Cookie. tomorrow!! Yayness!! Like finally!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Many events to update on. Let time rewind back to Chinese New Year 2008, which was last week.

CNY Day 1:
Slept super late cos’ I “shou shui-ed” (a routine where the child stays up on the eve of CNY till the dawn of CNY, which is believed to prolong your parents’ lives). Woke up super early, cos’ was expecting Uncle’s family to visit. Got a call instead, and heard news that they couldn’t make it this year cos’ my aunt was admitted to the hospital for some reasons. Glad she’s feeling better now. So, the family (minus DaJie who went to Japan for a holiday) got dressed and ready for visiting at my Grandmother’s place. Lunch was as usual, my favourite steamboat. After that, headed to ErGu’s place and then to DaGu’s place.

New dress, new shoes and of cos’ new underwear haha*

This year, I woke up with a swollen right eye

CNY Day 2:
Supposed to wake up early to help mum whip up a feast for the guests coming to our place but I overslept. Heh. I helped a bit la, a teeny weeny bit. Guests started arriving and soon, the house was filled with not less than 30 peeps I think. It was chaotic, like every other year. They lunched and we dressed up, got ready to go visiting at my Uncle’s place. And when evening came, Mr.Cookie. picked me up and we went for a dinner at PS Manhattan Fish Market. Still prefer Fish and Co. though. After dinner, it was CJ7 with Shatish.

We got a lil’ retarded while waiting for Shatish…

CNY Day 5:
Went back to school with Deafy and Bowling. We reached school early hoping to take some time to study for the exams but ended up playing with my camera. It was a wasteful but really fun day.
