I’ve been slogging like a cow for the previous week, forgoing one of my off days to work so I can earn more buckeroos for my trip! After working for 7 consecutive days, which surprisingly didn’t feel tiring to me, was well rewarded with a good day spent with a whole lot of girls! Girls from St. Marg’s, to be exact. :D

Met up with Jolyn and March yesterday , and we had lunch at ION’s Go! Go! Curry before shopping for Kerri’s birthday present (we were too busy to even meet up! O, how work drains all the time we have from us.) The food was good, so was the company and having the girls updating each other about our lives. Glad to be hearing all the good things from Jolyn though!

We settled for Chloe’s perfume for Kerri, and gosh the perfume smells really good the both March & I loved it! I shall add that to my wishlist! Was really tempted to buy myself one, but no because it’s not cheap and I don’t exactly have the habit of putting on perfume. ): Shopping at Far East was fruitful because I bought an awesome (good quality) black chiffon top, and I love it! :D

After Jolyn left for her hair dressing appointment, March & I settled at Starbucks to catch up with each other and to rest her legs. I love spending quality alone time with this girl, it was like this and will stay the same.

Took a cab to The Pines Country Club for Kerri’s 21st birthday bash! I guess one thing I really enjoy about going to birthday parties would be the fact that we get to meet up with long time friends, even better if it’s from St. Marg’s! <3 Love this bunch of noisy/hungry girls because I will always feel like I’m home, heeheehee! Everyone’s looking so pretty & gorgeous as we grow. (:

P.S: I’m very sad I look so dark in most of the pictures. Need to recover form my post-bintan tan. ):

St. Marg’s girlies <3

March & I wanted to leave early initially because we both had to work the very next day, but we only left when it was almost midnight, struggling to grab a cab thereafter! More St. Marg’s get-together session soon! I guess next up’s probably Sarah’s birthday bash, yay! :D

Looking forward to see all my lovelies again really soon. <3

1. Personalized with a pretty wallpaper that I just made, and I can stare at it all day long heehee. (Oh yes, my creativity juices don’t work all the time so I deserve a pat on my back for that. Otherwise, my wallpaper would still be the default one as shown above. /:)
2. The aluminium body and black keys! It is damn pretty! :D
3. Awesome quality pictures/videos by the webcam. Now I can webcam with Baby anytime I want when he’s away! :D
4. Adium – a damn awesome and pretty interface for MSN, because MSN messenger for Mac is terribly sucky! (Not complaining that I can’t webcam on Adium because there’s always Skype!)
5. Dashboard which allows me to download cool widgets! :D
6. Expose function! It’s way cooler than CTRL + Tab!
7. Way much faster than my previous laptop! (Y)
8. The small and portable adaptor.
9. Makes me happy to just stare and look at it heehee.
10. It’s a present from my love. <3

Still a newbie with Mac, so please give me tips/suggestions on what to do and what are the must-haves! :D

Things that makes me happy today:

1. Waking up to the presence of boy, my reason to life, beside me.
2. Heading down to Chinatown to pay/collect tickets for our Bintan trip in August, followed by KOI thereafter.
3. Having my boy accompanying me to work, and having lunch with me.
4. How my Dad asked me about Jon with that I-totally-approve-of-him manner. (:

Things that bothers me today:

1. Losing my diploma certificate, and having to waste $21 to get them replaced.

Things that I look forward on my coming off days:

1. Picnic with my boy
2. Steamboat at my place with The Chaus.

Life is 99% perfect this way, and I still enjoy that 1% of imperfection. (:

I’ve got quite a far bit of things on hand to work out on, and it’s making me so excited and looking forward to August already! :D But that also means that Baby would be setting off to the states really soon too. ): Oh well, happier things first! :D

June has been sucha busy and mind/body wrecking month! Worked so hard and slogged like a dog for the entire month, but I am definitely enjoying the fruits of labour (reflected via my pay next month). It’s making me damn happy because I am another step closer to saving up for my USA trip, as long as I remain disciplined and thrifty for the rest of the year. I haven’t even got my pay for this month, but whatever I am too happy to be bothered by it. (Oh anyway, the GST offset has been deposited into our accounts already! :D)

What’s making me happier is that Jon’s coming back. IN A FEW DAYS TIME! OH GOD I CAN’T STOP SMILING TO MYSELF HEEHEEHEE! It’s like, I serve my customers with a wide grin on my face not because I am damn happy to serve them but the thought of Saturday’s coming makes me smile like an idiot oh god. Then they’d probably think I’m damn happy and enthusiastic to serve them when I know what’s the actual reason for making me smile.

And I received an email from Baby while I was at work.

How are you doing? I am in KL. I am fine and doing good. Cant wait to o back singapore to see you. I have been missing you a lot. Knowing that i am so near to SG but i cant see you. The most torturing of all, is to see my plane fly past my home country and kept thinking of parachuting down to your house.

Hahahaha, I am such a fool for him but whatever. I bet no one really understands how I feel and why I go smiling at myself all the time because you’re just not us. BUT I AM SERIOUSLY SO FREAKING HAPPY LEH HEEEHEEEE! After not meeting for 6 months, we are finally gonna reunite again.

Let’s celebrate via a cup of KOI ice-cream milk tea!

I CAN’T STOP SMILINGGGGGG :D

Rejuvenation needed.

My comfort zone

Playing with the multiexposure function

Then I’ve decided to take a coloured photo to show that both of Jon’s favourite (hopefully I’m) are in the same colour.
Things to ignore: Ugly/tired face, dark eye circles, pig trotters.

Then it suddenly struck my mind… Baby, do you remember this picture you took when you were in Trinity back in 2006 for some Christmas party or something? And I was supposed to be that voodoo doll? (I went back to my old blog and dug this picture!)

It’s payback time!

Just that it’s not on you. (:

I can’t believe I’m seeing your face again in exactly 7 days from now.

The following is an e-mail from the past, composed on Saturday, June 20, 2009, and sent via FutureMe.org

Dear FutureMe,

I hope that life has been kind and great for you, and that you are happy and contented with what you have. I guess I can say that life has been pretty good so far! (:

You should be working by now, so I hope that you have at least saved up your first 5K in your bank account, if not you better go do some reflection how have you have been wasting your money! Hahahaha, yes I haven’t got my first 5k in my bank account yet and I think I might need to take forever to reflect! D:

I hope all your loved ones are healthy and happy right now, and that they are all contented too. I’m really glad that they are healthy, and hopefully happy too. (: Have you been travelling a lot? Because I’d like to know more of your travelling experiences! :D I guess I can say that I’ve been travelling quite a bit. Hong Kong-Macau in December 2009, Kukup in February 2010 and Bangkok in March 2010. I hope I’ve more travelling plans lined up ahead of me! :D

Remember, always to love the ones around. Always. (: I will. (:

With love,
The Kellyn in June 2009

Bascially this entire email kinda amused me and made me laugh to myself when I saw it in my inbox at work! The words in red are obviously my replies! I think I should just drop myself more and more random emails to the future me to make myself happy heehee! :D

Hahaha you sure sound like a person that is full of doubts about life. You’re right, I don’t know if I am still gonna be with Jon after 5 years. But I can also say that I’m not sure if there’s gonna be another guy that will make me fall in love so passionately like how Jon would. But why carry this idea of “I don’t know what’s gonna happen 5 years down the road”? If this is what you’ve in mind all the time, the one regretting 5 years down the road will be you because you haven’t go the courage to give in your all when you could have in the past.

If things really don’t turn out the way we both wanted, this is definitely a relationship I will not regret. I loved passionately, so did he. This is the best time of my life, bad times included.

Anyway, if both of us aren’t serious about settling down with each other, we wouldn’t be fighting and working so hard for the future we have together.

I’m not sure what’s up for us 5 years down the road, but I can quite confidently say that we will make it.

Ask me anything

This person asked me previously if making plans with my boyfriend scares me. It kinda amuses me with the questions that he/she previously asked, and now I know why.

It kinda annoyed me to see that this person is doubting my relationship with Jon. But after clearing my thoughts for awhile, I kinda laughed instead. And that I won’t explain. (:

Met up with Amanda last friday for dinner. No picture of us because she feels ugly that day. ): But oh well, I had a really good time with the girl, catching up with her at a new dining place at 313 Somerset. Ordered creamy pasta for myself despite knowing that I’ll get really sick of my main course after a while, which I eventually did. Too creamy for me to take it all. But that aside, it taste really good! Walked over to ION to grab a cup of Happy Lemon because the girl wanted one, and then we walked around a little before sitting at Starbucks (and got ourselves plain water hahaha) to catch up a little. (:

Short dates like these are good enough to make me happy. (:

Met up with Jinglan and Kelvin today for tea buffet at Heartland Mall’s Sakae Sushi. Had a hell lot of sushi even though they were just mediocre, and it left me I felt bloated enough to just have this meal for the entire day. I suppose that’s quite good for me. /: Caught up with them a little, then we visited Junwen & Peiyu who was working just upstairs.

Trained down to Bishan to just linger around, so we went to the arcade and played like little kids! It has been a long time since I last felt like this. I was a loser when it comes to the game when we were playing the basketball game! I scored so badly in the first round I was denied to proceed on to the second, while both of them did. ): And that also explains why I managed to take a picture of them. ):

Anyway, I brought a jacket out just in case I felt cold. But I realised that there really wasn’t any need for it because the weather’s just crazy! Regretted wearing a pair of jeans out instead of shorts. /: If there’s ever a chance of me migrating, the weather has got to be the reason! >:(

Went to grab my cup of KOI bubble tea because I wanted one! It has gotta be the best bubble tea in town, seriously! But…. it’s really not cheap. Pay about a dollar more for a large cup, and you can actually get yourself a tall Starbucks drink. But I was contented! :D

Very contented with my Large cup of ice-cream milk tea from KOI.
(And this shall be my last cup of bubble tea for the rest of the month, I promise.)

And yes, I’m still feeling very fat from the excessive amount of food I’m eating lately (as mentioned in the previous entry). I’m going to eat sliced fish noodles, yong tao fu or any soup-based food for lunch and dinner from today on. Really need to control my diet. If there’s ever a war to fight, I’m sure I’ll be the first to die. ):

K: Baby, I seriously feel damn fat it is damn disgusting! I can forsee that I’m going to be an ugly fat old lady next time. *inserts a million sad faces here*
J: It’s okay, I’ll still love you. 

I guess this is love.

That’s me when I was working part-time in a floral shop.

And I was only 12.

I have been thinking lately how I have changed over the years. After all, change is the only constant in life.

When I was a little girl, my Dad asked what was my ambition. I didn’t carry big dreams of being a doctor, a teacher or even a lawyer like how most kids would probably have, and I answered in the most innocent way as a kid would. “I’d want to be a cashier.” I bet that replied shocked my Dad back then. “Why do you want to be a cashier?”, my Dad questioned, probably thinking why the hell this little girl would want to be a cashier. I told him that whenever my Mom brings me to the bakery near our house, I find it really fun to see the cashier pressing on all the keys and I thought that this would be something I want to work as.

I forgot about this incident, until my Dad asked me if I remembered this little ambition of mine a few months back.

Of course I don’t dream of being a cashier any more. But I still don’t dreaming of having very ambitious jobs either. To be honest, I don’t even remember how exactly I made my way to where I am at now, but I am happy and contented.

1. When I was younger, I used to get annoyed when my Mom told me to wash my face with facial foam because “my skin is good what“! But now, I’d always be talking to my Mom about skincare tips every now and then.
2. When I was younger (probably a few years back), I’d get annoyed at my Mom for wearing my clothes without my permission and then confront her. Now, I’d choose some clothes for my Mom to wear from my wardrobe.
3. When I was younger, I only sweep & mop the floor only when my Mom ask me to. But now, I’d do so on my own accord when I am free.
4. When I was younger, I’d only start saving up to buy something that I want. But now I save because I want to save for rainy days to come (and of course I still save to get something that I want).
5. When I was younger, on the irony, I used to think that branded stuff are just a pure waste of money. But now, I’d really wish to own one of these when I can afford one.
6. When I was younger, $10 could make me really happy and get me through an entire week. But now, $10 can only get me by a day.
7. When I was younger, I used to tell my Dad that I’d want to be a nun because I think giving birth is a very scary thing. But now, I wish to be a Mom by a young age of 25, even though I still think that giving birth is damn scary considering that I’ve a huge fear for pain.
8. When I was younger, I wanted to transfer out from St. Margaret’s because it was too big a change in the kind of people I meet over there. Then I changed my mind and stayed on for the entire five years. Now, I’m really proud to call myself a ex-St. Margaret’s girl with loads of wonderful memories from this school.
9. When I was younger, I didn’t care about my studies until positive peer pressure from my girlfriends that influenced me to study hard for my exams.
10. When I was younger, I used to work hard for good (or presentable) grades for my exams. But now, I work hard to achieve the goal I want in life.
11. When I was younger, there was a period in life where I was such a perfectionist it made me a difficult person to please and I wasn’t very happy too. But now, I’ve learnt to let go and I’m so much happier this way.
12. When I was younger, I used to be flat but now I’ve curves (well, we all go through puberty).  Next up will be wrinkles and sagging skin. /:
13. When I was younger, all I wanted to eat was MacDonalds. But now, I would prefer to have sliced fish noodles.
14. When I was younger, I used to eat a lot because I want to gain weight since I was so scrawny. But now I had to control my diet so I won’t gain weight. -.-”

But maybe the few things that I haven’t changed since is that I’m still quite strong-headed (some may say stubborn). /: At the end of it all, I just know that what I really want in life is to be happy.

And with wonderful people in my life – my family, Jon, girlfriends and all those that I hold really close to my heart – and a job that pays rather well which I enjoy till this very moment, I feel really blessed and happy.

To survive well in life, I guess everyone just needs to embrace changes and not fear them.

Doesn’t make it any better when I catch a sight of a cockroach sitting on my chair after I come out from the showers. I’m thinking it’s a sign for me not to use the comp. Tried to catch that freaking ugly creature but failed cos I was too scared. Sprayed pesticide in some corners of my room, closed my doors and I’m gonna sleep in the living room tonight. The thought of having some freak crawling on your skin in the middle of the night makes me…. YIKES! >:(

Oh, and Jon Baby, I left your green bear in my room tonight too. I think it may find some good company tonight. Heehee! q:

P.S: Will be updating with slightly more interesting entries this coming week. Sorry for the really random and senseless entry. /:

Posted by Wordmobi

After waiting for a really long time, I finally got my license! :D

To be honest, the reason why I wasn’t updating wasn’t because I was sad but because I was lazy, heehee! But then again, I’m still very upset about the loss of the photos due to my stupidity. ):

Anyway, on the 23rd of April (Saturday) I met up with the usual DOPT peeps and we had Bak Kut Teh for supper together after work. I guess this will be the kind of time that we would be meeting in the future. ): Anyway, Bak Kut Teh at Outram, but I personally prefer the one at Havelock Road best! But even so, I think I drank about 10 bowls of the soup because I’m the ultimate soup lover! (Y)

It’s quite weird now that we are all working as a full-time Optometrist right now, and our conversations revolve around work! Just by sitting down and talking to each other, we stayed there till it was about 2am in the morning! Thank goodness I wasn’t working the very next day! q:

Give me all the soup in the world!
(I’m talking to Baby on the phone right now, and we made a deal that we’d eat Bak Kut Teh the moment he comes back! This picture is making me hungry already!)

Janice drove some of the girls home thereafter, but instead of heading back to our place we made a turn to the prata place at near in my area just to hang around with each other for a while more even though I was dead tired. Recommended them to try my all-time favourite – banana cheese prata! <3

Oh yes, I only reached home at about 4am! ):

I seriously feel damn sad about how fat I’ve become. Sigh, really damn sad I can cry now. )’:

It was a bleak day for me on the 27th of April. >:( It was totally a dramatic day. I’m too lazy to explain all over again, so here’s a screenshot from my twitter. Basically I forgotten to bring my transcripts to MOH leaving ION to get my supervisor’s signature at 11.30am and I’ve to reach MOH at 12pm. My day was a huge joke. /:

(Read this from the bottom to the top)

Lunch with Janice, Matt and Zi Wei at Chinatown, where I bought my cup of KOI bubble tea to cheer myself up from the very bleak experience earlier. ): We went to Serangoon Broadway to collect our graduation robes which is damn huge and ugly, probably because I was too short for it. ):

Janice and Matt came over to my house for a while just to kill some time. Matt played his guitar while I took out my flute to play. Haven’t touched my flute in a while and it’s kinda sad that my sound isn’t as good as it was. ): Taught Janice how to play the flute a little too! :D It was fun just wasting some time like this with my friends. At least there was something that made a pleasant turn for the day. (:

On a side note, guess what I got today? :D

In the mail…

And my practising certificate from MOH.

and from the company’s dispatch…

My very first Optometrist pay! :D :D :D

I really enjoy the independence of not having to rely on my parents for any allowance. It’s time for me to repay their patience and kindness for me. (: Have to admit that I was very happy at the amount I was given, but when I have put into consideration for the bills and commitments I’ve to pay for every month, I’m not left with a lot for myself to spend. Shall be really thrifty for the next few years, I hope!

As far as I am concern, I am really enjoying my job even though we are often mistaken as just-another-sales-person. (:

It’s already May, and I hope this coming month will pass really smooth and swiftly.

So freaking irritated with myself I can’t find to express my sadness anymore. Sigh. I only managed to retrieve back everything you see here from My Pictures & Recycle bin. Do me a favour, if your computer still manages to load some of the photos from my older entries, please save them and email it to me! IT’D REALLY HELP ME A LOT ESPECIALLY IF THEY ARE COLLAGES! I’ve only managed to retrieve photos from the previous entry to this (and the few pictures of the postcard that Jon has sent me), which is only four entries. 112 more entries to go.  I’m a sentimental person so they really mean a lot to me. )’:

Will get back to blogging when I feel happier. I want to cry now… bye.
