the long awaited getaway

IT’S FRIDAY!

we’re watching transformers tonight, and heading to Penang tomorrow morning! yippeee…

durian, char kway teow, durian, laksa, durian, rojak, durian, lor mee, durian, durian, durian, and more durian!!!

woohoo… exciting…

some other updates:
- went kite flying for the first time in my life last sat
- went ice skating for the first time in my life last sun (and fell on my bum twice)
- dearest made a courageous decision and quitted from his yucky boss job, and today is his last day at work

will put up photos the next time! have a great weekend!

and it only gets worse

flabby thighs, cellulite, thinning hair, bulging tummy…

sounds bad enough?

how abt this? WHITE HAIR!!!

argh… found a long strand of white hair this afternoon when I was in the toilet, about to go for lunch.

i dunno what to do with it… pluck it out? or leave it? and I dun even have e option of colouring it cos my hair will drop further.

life’s so unfair……

fate

I had a new hairdo today. Dearest obviously didn’t like it much. But he tried hard to show otherwise.

While checking out my new hairstyle (again), he smiled and said: “who would have imagined that we will be together when we first met 9 years ago?”

Indeed amazing isn’t it? And it warms my heart so… that dearest will recollect the past…

Love.

beers!

last night we had a mini farewell party for edward at charlie’s corner at aroozoo. correction: edward organized the farewell party for himself (his treat!)

just a few days ago dearest and i walked past the changi village’s charlie’s corner with alfred and we saw erdinger. we both love erdinger, so i was mentally telling myself that i’m so going to have an erdinger during the farewell.

but when i saw the menu last night, i changed my mind. cos i saw little creatures!

dearest and i tried little creature when we were at wild rocket for my birthday dinner. i just did my lasik then so i couldn’t drink. but i took a sip anyway and i loved it! it has this pleasant refreshing taste to it.

and look at the label – an angel… so cute right!

so last night i ordered little creature. ah siong (friend of edward – dunno whether he is the owner or not but he definitely calls the shots there) who is an avid beer drinker, wasn’t tat impressed with my choice and tried to recommend other beers. but i was insistent – the beer was meaningful to me! hahaha… and ah siong said little creature is made from lychee**. so that’s where the refreshing taste came from.

good beer for me!

before they served me the little creature, i had a sip of this ‘girly’ beer (only 4% alcohol content!)

and it was. NICE! it comes in a series of different fruity flavours. i tried the grape first and because the alcohol content was so low, i thought it was just sparkling juice! so when i finished the little creature, i had the raspberry flavoured timmermans. woohoo! nice…

perfect beer for those who didn’t want to get high/drunk. hehe…

after drinking 2 bottles, the alcoholic guys wanted to make me drink another bottle again. i refused (why get myself so drunk on a weekday?) and the next thing i know, someone placed a glass of bubbly drink in front of me. i refused to drink until ah siong quietly told me “non-alcoholic”… haha… and so i drank it, and everyone else thought it was some cider beer. woohoo…

must go there again and try other beers next time. heard that can get discount.

 

**[edited]: J sent me a link to the Little Creatures showing its range of beers. And, no! it’s not lychee… argh… cheated. LOL. must try the pale ale next time…

why do u love someone?

this is totally inspired by sheena:

one day, sheena’s mum asked jackson: why do you love sheena?
the answer: just because
sheena’s mum failed jackson’s answer

over dinner last night (together with all of them including sheena’s mum), this topic came up again, and i asked dearest the same question.
coincidentally, he was holding my hands.
and so he looked into my eyes and replied: “there’s no why. i love you that’s all”

to me, it was an acceptable answer. i think love is unexplainable. it’s… just… a feeling. if the same question was posed to me, i will be at a loss of words as well.

mins later, dearest held my hand again and said: “i know why i love you”
“why?” i asked
“because you are always very good to me”

and that meant the world to me.
*beams*

and the number is

just minutes after complaining abt putting on weight, I went out for a great dinner with dearest, sheena, jackson and sheena’s mum.

One big plate of rice, with several delicious dishes later and I whispered to dearest “not full yet leh”

And right after, we went for DURIANS!

OMG…

I remember when I first got together with dearest, I was 38kg. When my mum passed away, I lost 2kg and remained at 36kg for the longest time. Now, 5 years later, I weigh 42kg!

How does one put on 6kg in less than 5 years?

This is bad… Real bad…

Shit

Tat’s how I feel like when I can’t fit into any of my shorts.

Tat’s how I feel like when e only shorts I can fit into are fbt shorts.

I feel like SHIT.

Sigh…

miss fickle-minded

dearest and i went to see mr chua last saturday. it was a very ‘informative’ session. originally i had wanted to blog all of it down so that i will recall the readings months later. however, i wasn’t sure whether it was ‘prudent’ to reveal the readings in public space, so i didn’t.

but i guess bits and pieces should be alright, right?

mr chua said dearest and i can only do business if we do it together. cos he complements me in some areas, and i complement him in other areas. if we do business without the other, the business will not succeed. one reason is: i can never make up my mind about things.

and it’s so accurate.

just last week i decided that i will be hunting for condo B.

so i started calling many agents and met up with a few. yesterday night i had 3 units to choose from. although the price is a little high, i was comfortable to pay the $10k to $20k extra. this thing was on my mind the whole night and i was feeling a mixture of excitement and confusion.

when i woke up today, i got more confused and less excited.

after much self-deliberation today, i changed my mind.

my main concern, and cause of confusion, is my daddy. suddenly, i felt i was not filial to want to move out of the house, away from my daddy, when i am not married. there are other factors as well but i was more worried about disappointing my dad.

so, i have decided to slow down the pace of searching for a property, and only buy something which i really like and can afford comfortably. also, i should also re-evaluate my criteria for an apartment. who knows, i may end up not buying any, and settle for a resale HDB if dearest and i got married eventually.

and… that’s my decision… for now. i guess.

let’s see how long i can stick to this decision for. wahahaha…

to dear sheena, i’m sorry for wasting your time yesterday night! and maybe no study room and kitchen for you le…

it’s today

the day where my fellow colleagues in the regional office will be told of their fate.

and i’m so sad now because one of the affected is a close colleague.

just days ago i spoke of him to dearest, describing how kind and generous he is to encourage me to fulfil my dream of buying my own home and assuring me that if at any time i run into financial problems, he will surely lend a helping hand. he helped to clear my confused thoughts and urged me to lead a life that i am happy with and not to be overly bothered by what happens in future.

just days later, he lost his job.
damn! he has always been a good performer. why did it happen to him?
to make it worse, today is his birthday

sometimes, life just sucks.

time to reconsider the plan on condo b.

i miss my baby…

4 days more

awaiting

1) waiting in e car for dearest while he meets up with another jazz driver to discuss abt some second-hand car thingy… such as spoiler and strut bar etc…

2) waiting for good deals on condo B. Yep, after discussing with dearest, we have decided to buy condo B. Dearest like it tat it’s relatively cheaper and most importantly it’s freehold. Kinda missed out one 1 deal but not regretting (yet) cos I can’t possibly buy it when it was e one and only unit sourced right? Hope to find more good deals in the next few days.

3) waiting for our long-awaited weekend getaway. We are finally going to Penang! Will be going down to book the tickets tomorrow afternoon. Hopefully the air tickets are still available…
