(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.

Sitting Waiting Wishing

just had my song changed.

makes me happy listening to it. from the movie soundtrack he's just not that into you.

dear's back from his bkk. with pics.

he said its such a pity i couldn't take leave to be with him, or we could have bot an air ticket and flew me there.

shucks.

looking at the apartment itself, makes me wanna be there for a holiday (to shop of cos!) while he works!

too bad.

i'm married to work. work-work-work. the damn four letter word. wad to do when it finances my life right now.

caught marley & me with dear on saturday after work. we spent so much on movies lately, we dun even dare think about it. but, the show's damn good and unfortunately sad.

and so... tomorrow's monday again.

i can't wait for the coming months to pass quickly.

i simply just can't wait.

eeks... hee...

Random

this is gonna be so totally random.

dear's off to bangkok tomorrow for business. spent a whole load of quality time with him this weekend. caught he's just not that into you together. great movie. i like.

sidetrack, i bot luo cupcakes from crystal jade. cute and pretty as they are.

and sidetrack back to CNY, i just got these pics uploaded...

then came mummy's birthday celebration today.

my folks

family

ladies of my dad

mama's fav

engineer: i couldn't have done it without you.

HDB Hub

tomorrow's "yuan xiao" already. i haven't been here for the longest time. many things have happened lately. and somehow, affected me in a way.

still, its not too late to say, happie chinese new year.

the seriously major credit cruch have hit the world and well... many people lost jobs, got retrenched. and being in the hospitality industry, my hotel was sure to get hit.

and so, weekends have proved to be a whole new story for me now.

despite all these, dear and i took time to visit the HDB hub at toa payoh on saturday. planning for our future. doing the sums. and blah blah... some showroom pics...

4-room

5 -room

people i missed most in 2009, ali and grace. i keep thinking about them. messages dun stop even during chinese new year. i know they're the most understanding. and that's why i call them besties.

and other than that, dear, for the 8 years, thank you for being there always. as much as other people are more eligible, i've never stopped loving you. you'd keep me warm at night and still kiss me right out of bed in the morning. thank you for never losing that faith in me. you've always been that special someone :)

wads the best news?

I'M WORKING ON VALENTINE'S DAY :O

toodles!
