When A Man Loves A Woman

i forgot..

through all the in-and-outdoor work, day-and-night, the thing i'd love to do most is to hit the sack every night.

i guess, i have forgotten about the most important person in my life.

i've forgotten to appreciate the little things he has done for me.

things he do to make me smile even though he's not by my side... regardless, he's online every night, just to keep me company.

our random, countless, dates...

picking me up after work, waiting endlessly, yet patiently for me to finish work. turning round and round the city hall area cos the bellman wouldn't let him wait at the lobby. vrooooming me around every weekend regardless...

supporting me in becoming an runner. not hesitating to get me new shoes when mine had an "open mouth".

for becoming my pillar through the 9 years...

coincidentally, today marks our 9th year and 5th month. and without a wink we've been engaged for 11 months. i'm still glad  you're by my side to love, learn, grow, nag, argue and fight with me. like i told you, i'm gonna leech on you. and that rock on my finger, will constantly remind me of how much you love me.

did i mention? i lubb you...

weather.leave.dizzyspells.class95

in my room. aircon on. lappy with me. listening to class 95's love songs. the weather lately is freaking hot. i love quiet nights like this. just that dear's not online.

i left my blog to die. i know.

am feeling tired physically, yet i'm refusing to sleep. spent my day with ex-colleagues over lunch and coffee. i'm so glad to have met so many of them. at times like this, i miss working there, yet there's really nothing much to miss actually. people i know have left, or intending to leave. the vacancy was offered to me today, yet again.... still, i'd stand by my decision made and i'll never go back.

people are asking when is the date since the car and house have already been bought. if only it was that easy.

have no idea why i'm so tired. lost appetite after lunch. had some dizzy spells. and puked literally, most of my dinner. probably should see company doctor soon enuff.

i miss him, yet i refuse to sms him. cos he's having his "me" time, and i probably should go to bed soon, with class 95 :)

i hope the weekend will be good, though there aren't any plans.

sigh~

Here Or There

i am thrown with a higher position and salary again.... to be back at hilton.

i was caught in a dilemma, right from monday. dinner with colleagues was spoilt totally. it had my mind all in butterflies. i never thought that my director would want me to go back. not when i only left for 3 months.

aniwae, i didn't take up the offer. after considering the scope and every other aspect. especially spending time with him.

it was a good offer. one i would say i'm flattered. yet, i'm happy right where i am now, with nice colleagues and bosses. i guess i'll never regret making this decision.

work has been all that's revolving around me lately. event after event after event all happening back to back. tired, yet i'm happy.

aniwae, pics of our house in progress. taken back in 2009.

note the workers, damn proud of what they have built. haa.

and the new addition early this year...

*loves*

tired after work...

ta-ta...

2010

2010 was welcomed in a rather hush-hush manner. met dear for tea after work. he brought me to max brenners at the esplanade for good churros fondue and hot chocolate.

yums!

2009 was memorable, looking back, major things that happened:

1. i left my job at hilton for a higher pay and position. it was a good switch, but i still miss hilton sometimes.

2. dear surprised me with his proposal on 25 april 2009.

3. we made our first, and biggest investment together. our home.

and to start 2010, we made our second huge investment :) can't wait for it to arrive!

yay. cheers to 2010.

Happy 26th

aiya, 26 liao...

pictures will tell everything...

cake for me and Gen (my colleague sharing the same birthday as me).

3 pizzas, 2 rolls of garlic bread, sushi tei, huge box of hot wings and not forgetting fruits ----> all from my directors.

birthday girls.

from my colleague. inside, a pink pen, to fit my organizer :)

(in the end, i found out, that mini pen did not come cheap)

flowers delivered to my office with an Elizabeth Arden perfume... from my Hilton Team.

yay.

from my HR team.

awfully chocolate from nanny.

and my most exceptional, and favourite present....

the latest PSP GO, from dear :)

he's just awesome. like the present. topped up with damn good dinner.

now, i'm addicted to my favourite game on it...... WWE.

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.
