Helipad

for the first time in my life, i'm up on 73 storeys high today. view from the tallest hotel was magnificient. everything seemed so small.

THE HELIPAD!

overlooking singapore flyer and marina bay sands

pics not very bright cos the sun was scorching. but nevertheless, its a mouth-opening experience! not everyone has the chance to be up there :D

Silly Socks

went bowling with dear and his buddies on saturday. i was just amused by the socks that we purchased over the bowling counter.

this isn't a clear shot.

close up. look at those bowling pins! i'm just totally amused :D cos they usually come in plain white. don't they look simply silly?

backtrack, i went back to Hilton on friday to pickup my final paycheck. many said i look so much happier (which i totally am). and i'm finally holding the VISITOR's pass!

yay-oh-yay!

and... i had my hair done in jet black, plus treatment and a trim.

tomorrow's the day!

Million Dollar Bill

simply love that song playing! got it on repeat mode.

you're my million dollar bill :)

Footprints

i went back to Hilton today for dinner with my ex-boss, plus colleagues. thing is, i'm so touched by everything that boss did for me, to show his appreciation.

a HUGE bouquet of lilies, and diamond earrings, plus a card that read

"Dear Juliet, just to say, all the best at Fairmont, and thank you for the dedicated efforts during the one year, and also your upbeat attitude. No doubt, we will catch up one day."

being under his wing, he has taught me many things, and i clearly know that, he left footprints on my career path.

:)

Of Random & Such

have officially left my employment with Hilton Singapore. many memories there. pictures a thousands, and colleagues i'm gonna miss dearly.

most of all, i'll miss that messy desk that has been with me throughout the year odd that i'm there.

nevertheless, i'm looking forward to a new, and better start.

today is day one of my break. it feels rather good to sleep in. went for a good swim right after i woke up. determined to shed some weight.

aside, dear bot mini yam mooncakes from east ocean. its thumbs up (according to mummy) cos i only ate half. the rest was gluped by my family.

on his desktop :)

dinner with ex-boss tomorrow. having mixed feelings.

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.
