Officially Ours!

dear and i went to sign the lease for our flat today, and paying a hefty 5-figure sum for the downpayment. the home is officially ours!

just that its not even built yet.

i can't wait for everything to happen!

yay!

Ah! I Miss You.

ok, i'm not usually like this, but this time i do miss dear.

after work when all is quiet and i can finally find time to rest, think about work plans and read the papers, at the back of my mind, i miss him.

my phone rang just now and i'm glad its not my boss but dear on the other end. i missed his sms this morning as i was stashed busy with my boss, phone calls, emails, people and practially, papers. regretfully, he was on the plane already when i saw his message.

workwise, i'm counting down my notice period. 20 more days as of today. i'm gonna miss my colleagues at hilton. through this 1 year+++ there are many memorable things, and experiences which i'lll take away with me. happy that i'm still employable, and moving on to different challenges. come what may, i know dear's always gonna support my decisions. and i'm always glad that he's here to share my thoughts and ideals with me.

life is never same without you, my best friend, my partner.

Dear Off To Thailand

argghh. just as i was looking forward to spend the long weekend with dear, he told me he's flying off to thailand tomorrow for work.

boo! : (

i could make do with saturday by clearing some extra work for my handover and maybe get down to shopping for new blazers for my new employment.

but i often wonder what life would be like without you entering my life.

Mexican Food. Movies In The Park. Hilton Stay.

ahhh. my long awaited break. not break in a sense, since in between the days, hours and minutes, i've been working on and off through the weekend. but still, i totally enjoyed myself!

dear came to pick me up from work, waiting patiently for me to finish wadeva work i had to. then he brought me to holland village to have mexican food, for the second time! isn't he just the sweetest thing? and, i love his food finds! always surprising!

our appertizer

nachos topped with tomato chunks, cheese, jalapenos and sour cream!

it doesn't look good here, but its superb in taste!

mine!

dear's hard shell taco.

friday ends here cos i'm totally tired after work.

was so looking forward to saturday cos we planned so many things! but there were unplanned things too la. like going for medical examination for my new employment, getting passport pics, and going back to my office to clear work.

so aniwae, saturday comes the long awaited Hilton stay! checked in with dear, only to leave him in the room alone while i went back to office to work :P

i went back to our room only 3 hours later. my poor boy. he keeps having to wait for me. but work ends here!

we set off early for movies in the park by class 95! the crowd was wow! saw real life glenn, fd, jean and tim as well.

only part of the early crowd.

more.

crowd becomes bigger.

waiting for ironman!

crowd gets bigger.

ta-da! finally screening!

back to the hotel by 11pm. ah fat bored on the bed.

finally get to enjoy my stay!

early this morning, woke up with dearie beside me. felt that i'm such a lucky girl. we got ready for breakfast at checkers!

din take any pics of the food. but Hilton's breakfast is always good, no qualms about it.

whats left is our glasses of juice.

dear: hey boy! 12 september marks our 8 years and 10 months. you've always shown me your love and support by waiting patiently for me to finish work. guilty as can be, you've never blamed me for being such a busy bee.

just want you to know that for every picture i paint, you'd always be in it.

That Letter

ok, its been soooo long.

i tendered today. wad a significant day to remember. got a better offer and, hmm... i dun think i'll ever miss anything around me now, maybe not now at least. but i'll definitely miss the people at hilton.

other than that, i'm looking forward to start my life anew again. and i hope things go smooooth.

luck is all i need now!

My Daisy

yay! isn't it gorgeous? that flower on my blogger header? dear did it for me while he was watching soccer. he spent more than 30 mins configuring the size for me, when i already gave up.

i told you, life's gonna be so insane without you. you're the sweetest to me.

Found It!

dear bot me this...

we were always on the lookout for it, but it seems like the ladies one is damn hard to find. it didn't come cheap. at least, not to me. its his favourite football team. i super love the jersey. thanks for all the lovin' baby.

YAY!

People Who Made Me

there are 2 most important people which i really feel so indebted to.

daddy and mummy.

mummy would always make sure i have breakfast everyday. coffee sachets to work. shampoo and conditioners stocked. chips and junk for destress after work. and my coke light for sugar cravings.

and for as long as i have been working, my dad would never fail to pick me up from the train station, regardless of how late i worked.

i don't know how much longer am i ever gonna be leaning on them. but, its just blissful to have supportive parents.

thank you.

The Flat

datthis should long be posted, but i'm super busy as always. i realised i never will not say i'm not busy anymore. busy has become a permanent four letter word in my dictionary.

and so, dear and i got our unit early this month. this is our block in a model.

we've even got our address too. but its not even bulit yet. haa.

and well... lets hope things go smooth from here.

glad we're on this road together. i never said it, but thanks for doing all the applications and calculations. all i did was put my signature. i never could have done it without you. you're world class fiance :D

damn. tomorrow's thursday only.

Dad's Birthday

daddy's 60! and getting his latest baby tomorrow.

hee.

aniwae, celebrations at jade palace seafood restaurant at forum (recommended by me). they have good dim sum as well. go give it a try.

now, pictures!

my supports.

the other pillar of strength.

part of the course dinner included...

sharks fin.

abalone.

scallops and prawns.

blackforest.

and to reward myself for working so damn hard, and not being appreciated, i got myself a new baby.

nokia E71.

(pic credits to cruddog.)

classy? i wanted to get white, but it was out of stock and i saw many ladies carrying it. so i thot steel grey looks corporate and cool. at least, individualistic. not that i had a choice of colours though.

on leave tomorrow, for my big plans :)

30 Minutes

today's occurance has made me think alot.

i have been in a constant dilemma for that 30 minutes. because i don't know wad i want for that mere moment. aniwae, i have doubts about it.

oh wells, shall shelf it at the back of my mind.

it has been a month since you proposed. that rock brings about greater responsibilities and commitment. future plans are so much more. but of cos, i know you'll always have me in your plans :)

Pure Excitement

08 june 2009

:D

Mother's Day

its more than just feeling worn out. the level of tiredness is just tripled-up.

aniwae, mother's day for my mummy. jie, dear and i spent a hefty sum at ritz carlton for a 6-course lunch. included cold dish, sharks fin, e-fu noodles (which i did not take picture of), and the below...

spare ribs with prawns. damn nice.

sea perch with garlic. this is damn yummy.

mango with sago and pomelo. yumms. the longevity bun beside it is dammm nice also. its filled with lian rong and salted egg yolk. who would have thot?

it wasn't cheap la. but oh well, so long as she's happy. the kids are more than glad to pay :)

thank you for putting that rock upon my finger, and for making me all that matters.

He Proposed...

the title explains i guess. more or less.

it wasn't easy cos we were both working today. i know dear's extremely busy with his current projects. still, he told me to dress up and brought me to fullerton for dinner.

the curious me just wondered why he would want to spend so much bucks on just purely a weekly date. he simply shrugged off by saying that he "just felt like it".

and i took his words for it.

after dinner, he popped the question on his knees along the riverside. a nice quiet place which was my ideal setting.

and he totally got me speechless.

he succeeded. though it really came at a time where i was least expecting it. it really took me by surprise. i never knew he was gonna pop the question.

my destinee.

and so after 8 years and 5 months, he proposed.


dear: thank you for wanting to take care of me for the rest of your life, and for bringing our relationship unto the next level. now 2 hours after your proposal, i'm still overwhelmed by what you did so suddenly (but i'm happy). i love both the ring, and you. i should right? its a destinee. hee.

and i know that the love you shower on me, is superrrrr duperrrrr alot.

Yet Another...

got my 3rd coach product today. not that i'm an avid fan of the brand. but since its a gift. why not?

jie bought it for me from san francisco. daddy and her went holidaying there. yep, envious. but, i got a coach free. so :)

it was tied up in a gold ribbon, placed on my table when i got home :)

a wristlet! so love it! i wanted one always. but never thot of getting it.

it somehow brightened up my day. the weekend was kinda tough for me to handle. job demands are getting more and more that i could barely breathe. even at 12 midnite, i'll still be sending emails, and at the wee mornings the mobile would ring constantly. dear was there, by my side, patiently waiting for me, always.

buay tahan.

thank you dear. can't ask for more than your presence.

Flowers From Boss

have been missing since my trip back from china. was a short but fruitful trip. learnt and experienced many things. am given many responsibilities now that i'm back. workload is damn heavy. sometimes, i wonder to myself why life turned out this way, and complain to dear about this and that.

but received this from my director today...

to thank me for my hard work.

suddenly, all things paid off. its something small, but at least i know my boss appreciates my efforts.

close up. so pretty.

the whole bouquet was HUGE and heavy. must say he got good taste. very unique colours and type of flowers.

phew~ it has been a longgggg week.

Postponed

my china recruitment trip has been postponed to this friday. so damn last minute. they changed the itinerary 3 times!

haiya. damn sian. alot of meetings to attend this week. plus things to prepare for the trip. i'm working till my neck.

and so, tomorrow's the start of war again.

still, i had a good weekend! dear and i changed our hair colours. we are back to being asians! spent time together movie-ing. had stayovers, and total quality time.

i'm appreciative of your presence in my life. somehow, you make it different.

China

my director is sending me to china for recruitment!

alone.

only got the news late in the evening when he made his decision. happy that he gave me this opportunity to learn and expose myself.

i'm happy, yet it makes me nervous.

am leaving this weekend.

gosh. need to pack and all. so last minute.

and its damn freezing there.

5 damn degrees.

My Friday The 13th

its friday, and i've fought hard for the whole week.

wanted to listen to love songs on class 95, but streaming is now suspended. sucks.

somehow, my engine's super low today. maybe cos its friday. being black and blue after a week's fighting. but i still have to get my engine running with fuel for office tomorrow. i've been feeling the same. but i've learnt to be more appreciative of things, and i've been happy at work. though certain things have changed, and at times, the workload is nothing but pure thunderstorm and lightning strikes. but my colleagues always make me feel loved. the smiles, toys and junk always appear at my table now. its those little things :) plus 2 good bosses.

meeting my besties tomorrow. for house-warming :) our lives have changed so much. since the pimple-poked face, to getting bfs, getting jobs, and now, ali has already gone on to start her family.

oh did i mention? managed to talk myself out of buying clothes, doing my hair, and getting a new organizer (my temp staff spilled coffee over it). actually, i just didn't have the energy to shop after work.

i am so gonna sleep like a baby.

i miss someone.

Wireless

i blogged like 4 entries. but none of them got posted.

just that, when i always am about to click the publish post button, something happens, and i stop there.

now that i'm here again, i'm filled with mixed feelings. feelings i can't describe.
whenever i'm happy or upset, i'd come running here.

that aside.

aniwae, i'm off my retainers, only have to wear them at night when i'm snoozing.

i'm free. yay-ness.
