We all know how comercialized Valentine’s Day actually is, and it was really just like any other day for Babs and I. No huge bouquet of flowers or bears for the other half; but the boy did get me a toy rose (which he calls the 百年玫瑰 – hundred year rose) then said that I wouldn’t be receiving any more flowers for the next hundred years. But I guess I would seriously be a lot happier to receive a bouquet of roses on any random day than on Valentine’s Day itself. I actually bought all the scrapbooking materials just one day before, because I was feeling diligent about making a handmade gift for Babs since I haven’t done so in quite a while.  He was so happy when he saw the gift I made for him, he kept staring at it for a long time before the both of us decided to hit the sack that night. ☺

For the past few days Babs has been nothing less than the sweetest thing. Well not that he isn’t on usual days, but I can see that he has been putting in so much effort into his work. The job that he actually chose over what he could have been doing because he believes that this is what that can give both of us a better future. How I actually ache a little – like an overprotective mother to his toddler who is trying to learn how to walk - every time I see him only in the morning and would only return late at night. And when I actually asked him about it, he said he enjoys what he is doing because Hardwork equates Success. And apparently, I am the reason that motivates him to his success. ☺

Thank you Babs, for making me feel that all we have in our future is nothing but bright. x

1. Virgin attempt at playing with the beautiful eyeshadows from the Naked Palette, which I was lucky enough to grab it the first day Sephora actually had it restocked just before the Chinese New Year. 2. Caught Wicked the Musical with the boyfriend and his brother on Chinese New Year’s Eve. 3. The boyfriend drove me back on a rainy Sunday night after a reunion dinner with his family, which saw us blasting Michael Learns to Rock on the radio and singing at the top of our voices. Or maybe it was just me. 4. Loaded my forth film into my LC-A+. 5. Nude, dusty pink and burgundy. 6. Painted my nails for the first time in three years. Kinda regretted spending my money on the nail polishes because I thought they turned out damn ugly. ☹

It’s weird how I am actually not feeling the vibes for the usually-anticipated lunar new year this time round. ☹ Perhaps it could be the lack of festive vibes around, or the absence of new clothes, or the lack of faces I am actually seeing. Or maybe it is just me. I couldn’t even find a good reason for me to take out my camera to start snapping. ☹

I hope day two would be a much better day.

I said, give me the flattest face you can give.

Pre-Lunar New Year walkabout in Chinatown has become a tradition for the both of us. Truth to be told, the boyfriend hates squeezing with the crowd but still willingly agreed to come with me. I really appreciate this little effort from this sweetheart. I am not too sure if it applies to any one of you who are reading this, but walking in Chinatown during this time of the year really brings back loads of fond memories from the younger days. You probably get to see your favourite childhood sweets everywhere, toys (e.g. paper windmill) that you used to play when you were young, and I had a vague memory about my parents bring my brothers and I to walk around until the tradition died off. ☹

Despite the boyfriend complaining a little about how sticky he got with people rubbing their sweaty arms against his, I had fun snapping away with my cameras and enjoying his company by my side.

I am definitely looking forward to one of my favourite festive season of the year with all the goodies that are packed in transparent containers with red lids! x

After work on Christmas Eve, the boyfriend drove over to my place to pick me up and we spent the first hour of Christmas doing some groceries shopping for our Christmas Potluck. It was raining and the night was just chilly, and somewhat blissful for some reason. Baby J who wasn’t sleeping when I went over came to join me up on the bed while the boyfriend was outside using the computer and accompanied me. This pup is really a sweetheart in every single way. ♥

Christmas gathering was held at Darren’s place, and it was nothing short of awesome. Simple company from the boys and Amanda, with endless laughter which even makes me chuckle as I think about it right now. From the random moment that Amanda broke the chair (epic moment for life) while eating, and all the boys just laughed for a good whole 10 minutes/wanting to take a picture instead of helping her up. Prepared our meals together and our dinner was an absolute feast. It was probably the best christmas dinner I’ve ever had, and the most heartwarming one too. Pictionary-turned-charade where Lance and I had to portray “birthday suit” and he started stripping while I just stared in awe. But it was hilarious. And skyping with Vincent who is currently in Perth.

Christmas, filled with good food and alcohol, good company and laughter.

Thinking back, this is probably the best Christmas I’ve ever had for the past 22 years of my life. x

Met up with Amanda for lunch at our favourite Yong Tau Fu place before roaming around town for her last minute christmas shopping. Turned out to be quite a wrong decision because the rain was so bad and it was just a massive human jam everywhere.

Pre-christmas dinner with the girlfriends and the boys at Santouka for dinner was good. Loads of catching up, laughing and what not. Settled at Starbucks thereafter for more catching up and gift exchange, and it was hilarious! Some got really nice presents, while others were small but wrapped up in so many layers (Linda) to give its receiver a big trouble opening up their presents (me). But I guess the funniest was when Eugene got March’s present and it turned out to be a set of pink towels. Boyfriend knowing what the girlfriend bought, and had no choice but to accept it. Traditional Christmas walkabout, then we headed over to Playnation to play Wii and Kinect till it was 3am in the morning! Too much dancing and moving in the wee hours of the morning my hands and shoulder ached so bad.

Too much fun in one night. Too much love to contain. Christmas is all about the gift of love and sharing.

I’ve got mine. x

The last CNY visiting for 2011

I’ve been getting real lazy when it comes to blogging lately, and that explains this super long overdue entry. ):

Last Sunday, Jon & I was supposed to go visiting at Audrey’s place along with my other girlfriends! :D It’s quite like a tradition ever since secondary school, and it is really nice to keep it going on for years already. (: Anyway, I went over to Jon’s place first to just waste and laze the afternoon away. Some nice and lazy time spent together. (:

Jon’s Mom took out chocolate lava brownie and cheesecake for the both of us to eat. :D

We took a nap before heading over to Audrey’s place because we were quite tired. J was so cute because he came over to join the both of us and caught up on some rest too heehee. That cute little fella.

Jeanna picked the both of us up, together with Linda and Meilin who cabbed over to Lakeside! The whole CNY gathering was more like a blackjack session, and it’s almost the same for everywhere else I suppose! Pizza for dinner, lo hei, and more blackjack! Shoulds damn boring, but I had so much just being there with the people that matters. (: Even though there were people that we haven’t met in a while, but you know these are the people you’d never feel weird around with. It was really nice. (:

I had very good initial luck that very day.

I drink at an amazing speed, and started to place my empty packets with Jon’s. Then suddenly, everyone just started placing theirs with him too hahaha!

Poor banker, THREE BLACKJACKS FOR YOU!

Audrey made pineapple tarts!

HAHAHA, funny picture from Dewei’s DSLR. I’ve no idea why I was giving Jon this expression.

We all have very nice side profiles! (Y)

My lovelies. ♥

One of the nicer cards I’ve got for round 2. Which I lost all my money that I won in round one. ):

and you’ve been the perfect valentine ever since.

Valentine’s Day wasn’t an extravagant occasion with the boy. The boy had to work, but we made it a point to have our vday lunch together! (: No flowers, no presents, just each other’s company and a simple meal.Gave the boy a treat at Overeasy, and I was surprised that it was rather quiet considering it’s Valentine’s Day. Settled on Overeasy because we haven’t tried it before, and it was within walking distance to le boyfriend’s work place. We ordered two set lunches which left us so filled up and sleepy after that, the boy refused to go back to work when his lunch break was over.

Bought sweets from Sticky as a small gesture to surprise the boy! ♥

Mine

Le boy’s

Le boy’s

Mine

I really can’t explain why I look so round. ):

The boy dragged himself back to work while I went to get my hair fixed, then back home to catch up on some rest since I was feel so sleepy after the meal. D: Finally went to get my hair treatment done because I think my hair’s in a state that’s so terrible I can’t even look at myself. /: When the boy ended work, his parents came over to my place to pick the both of us up, and off we went to IMM because we wanted to cook up a little feast at his crib! :D Jon’s plan of preparing prosciutto was ruined because they didn’t have the ingredients that he needed to prepare his food, so he changed to make bruschetta which turned out really good too! I LOVED IT SO MUCH! My boy’s amazing the way he is.

I cooked cod fish for the first time, and I think I really deserve a pat on my back because it turned out pretty good and there wasn’t any fishy smell at all! The fishy stench was so bad when we first opened it up, ewww! Well, credits to Jon’s mom for teaching me how to get rid of the stench! (:

The dinner turned out to be extremely filling even though it doesn’t look like there was enough to fill our stomachs! We’re making a point to make cooking our tradition on Valentine’s Day already! (:

Lil J sitting outside the kitchen waiting for me to be done with cooking, so I could play with him. Sooo cute!

Bruschetta, sauteed portobello, panfried cod fish.

We don’t need Valentine’s day to commemorate our love for each other. But Happy Valentine’s Day anyway, my sweet love.

Happy Valentine’s Day.

Day One

My very vain boyfriend who was styling his hair for the first time. In an extremely long time.

Love my nude Aldo wedges

So used to playing with big dogs the small ones seems so fragile. Not forgetting how big they make me look.

The Chaus put up all the pictures we took in our trip to the States in their living room.

Curious puppy.

Sleepy boyfriend. Tell me something new.

Driving to my Grandma’s

Jon can always click quite well with all my little cousins, nieces and nephews.

Then he told me: “要不如我门生几个来玩？” (Why not give birth to some for us to play with?) -.-”

The relatives. And more who were in the kitchen having their steamboat.

Day Two

Haiyooo why so cuteeee. ♥

At Jon’s Uncle’s place for visiting.

The kitten that they had called Tiger. It’s so small! Apparently it was a rescue kitten who almost died.

Visiting at Julius’ place

Trying to find our way via the GPS

Amanda freaking out my boyfriend with her non-living daughter.

Then her terrorizing acts turned violent.

Minni is born/created to be a good arm rest.

♥

Loving my silly girlfriend. And that is not my Chanel bag.

Full attendance.

Ex-Kent Ridge students

KR boys. They said “Let’s imagine Amanda without clothes on!”…

…and this was the reaction followed after.

And then Minni decided to commit suicide upon hearing it. Heeheehee. Oh well, that’s how close this group of people are. (: Very heart warming.

A formal picture.

What they call taopok. Which means human stacking to them. The things that guys do.

Then they wanted to take a picture of all the KR girls. Which means there’s only one here.

Then there was two other sisters which decided to join her.

Well you have gotta love Amanda’s expression here. And check out the guys reaction to her weird behaviour.

Trying to do some trademark pose of their school. Obviously trying to reminisce about some of their good ol’ secondary school days. (:

HAHAHAHA AT AMANDA! Love this girl.

Julius couldn’t help but to burst away with laughter.

And while some of the guys left, and the others played mahjong. I got quite tired and decided to sleep at about 2am. I am really not a night person at all. /:

Ugly picture of me burying myself in all the pillows, taken by Amanda. Who invaded my twitter account and posted it up too. -.-”

Woke up at 7am, and this 4 guys were still playing. Oh god, kudos to their endurance.

Day three

Jeremy invited his friends, along with me and my brother over for a gathering with his friends. Oh well, a gambling session rather.  Their cousins came over shortly to join in too. Lost some money, and then I decided to just take care of the sleepy pup so he doesn’t go around barking at/scaring the guests.

Xingting caught me with the camera!

The game of poker which I didn’t know how to play. /:

And The Chau’s bought yu sheng!

I am on a mission to gain some weight because my Grandma said that I look too thin now it makes me look older. Ugh, it’s not like I’ve been eating lesser to lose weight. I am on a mission.

Next CNY, I am going to be back looking like I am 17. Youthful and pretty. HAHAHA.

Have a happy CNY you all! :D

It’s almost 2pm. What time will this boy wake up?

The first ever surprise party I’ve planned – since a month ago – and I am very very glad that it turned out as good as I wanted it to be.

The sight of your surprised face still lingers in my mind, and it makes me smile.

On Saturday, I woke up early and prepared for my boy’s big day – his 21st birthday! :D Met up with Amanda to pass her the alcohol that I bought for the party the day before, and off I headed down to his place. It was nice to wish my boy Happy Birthday with his just-woke-up-sleepy-face-and-messy-hair. (: Took out my polaroid camera and started taking pictures of his family members to add into the book I made for his 21st birthday – a collection of all the birthday wishes for his 21st! :D

We drove off to Werner’s Oven at Siglap, as recommended by Baby. We ordered quite a feast, but to be honest I think I don’t really know how to appreciate meat like oxtail and lamb. I’m more of a white meat person, and I guess that probably means fish and chicken. I’m sucha bore, but I don’t really fancy beef, lamb or ox. /: I loved the Pork Knuckles though! :D And I ate all of the sauerkraut! :D And because I’m a carbo person, I wiped out all the potato. D: Ohhh, and I love the breaded cheese and desserts too! <3

Werner’s bakery!

After lunch, his Dad drove us all to Marina Bay Sands Hotel because I booked a room to celebrate Jon’s 21st. Apparently, I booked the room for “just the both of us” and I only told him the day before when we were in Bintan. It kinda fulfilled his wish (without me knowing) because he jokingly told Raymond & Co. that he wants to book a room at MBS and swim in the Sky Park when they were here. Now, he can flaunt to them about his experience! And another small wish of his was also to bring his family up to the Sky Park, it was killing two birds with one stone! :D

The Chaus, my second family.

I bought this dress from Agneselle in February and only got to wear it that day. Look at how sad my life is that it deprives me from dressing up! ):

After his family left, and we went back to the room to laze a little while before heading up to the Sky Park for a swim at the infinity pool! (: The room’s rather spacious in my opinion, so I have no complains about it even though March said that the view of the room was quite terrible (since she was the one that helped me to book the room)!

The view at the Sky Park was magnificent! We swam to the edge of the pool and had a bird’s eye view of the entire Singapore City! :D He was telling me how we were looking at the same view from a different angle at Swissotel’s Equinox on my birthday 4 years ago, telling me about Hello Kitty (that’s the name that Jon gave to the Merlion at Fullerton because it looked really small from where we were).

Jon took a picture of this because he said this was supposed to be a proof of me busy messaging on his birthday. Well, I was busy messaging Amanda to plan for his birthday surprise!

Oh gosh, the both of us are so tan from the Bintan trip. ):

He looks like a curious little cat right here. Check out his smile if you haven’t noticed.

After swimming for a while, I went to laze on the bed because 1) I was getting a little lazy and 2) I had to message Amanda to know how’s everything going in the room.

A very random note: The weather that day was quite sad! ): It was so cloudy I couldn’t witness a beautiful sunset with Jon. Everything was practically covered by the gloomy clouds. ):

My leng zai. Heehee.

To fill you in, there was actually 2 set of keys to the room and I only took one while Eugene (March’s boyfriend) took the other so that Amanda can grab it from him while we were swimming in the Sky Park. So while Jon & I were swimming (dragging time actually) at the Sky Park, Amanda and Edwin (Jon’s army buddy) – who were the main people that helped me to bring everyone together – were setting up the room for his surprise.

When Amanda told me that almost everything’s ready in the room, I told Jon that I actually made a “dinner reservation” for his birthday at some restaurant so we should get back to change. When we got back, everything in the room was left the way it was before we left. As he was taking the towel/clothes to bathe, I told him I had something for him and opened up the curtains to the balcony where all of his friends hid behind.

He was so shocked and surprised to see all of his friends, more surprised to see that I’ve included his brother and his army friends into this party. His face was so priceless, I wish I captured it on camera. But yes, that was the face that brought huge satisfaction to me. The very face that brought me pure happiness and bliss. (: So instead of having a dinner reservation at a restaurant, we actually ordered Macdonalds takeaway. I mean, it was more of the fun that we were getting from the night! Amanda said that giving the guys good food would be like throwing them into the bin because they just want to fill their stomach, hahaha!

Awesome Orange Vodka Jello made by Amanda! :D

Thanks Babe for helping me with the booking of the room, together with Eugene! Really appreciate it! :D

There was some fireworks going on right outside and we got a perfect view of it. And Jon said that it was because it’s his birthday. -.-” He thinks too highly of himself.

I love you. <3

The customized boob birthday cake as requested by Amanda! It was such a waste that we didn’t finish the cake and it wasn’t exactly cheap. D: I thought it tasted really good though, I like!

His friends forced us to do this.

His army friends. There was supposed to be more but some of them couldn’t turn up, and one had to leave earlier. ):

The Cock Ups.
(Hahaha, they say they are from a cock-up secondary school, hence the name)

Drinking time! Loads of fun and laughter awaits!
I’ve no idea how many cups of alcohol I knocked down because of my clumsiness. But they had to insist that I was high. /:

Indian Poker! I was out to cheat and con everyone heehee. HEY ISN’T THAT THE FUN OF IT? ;D

Hahaha, Darren is a funny dude.

Mingfa’s definitely one of the craziest!

Jon’s closest army buddy, Edwin!
(Quite good looking right! Heehee)

Zong Wen who went to every single camp with Jon when they were in secondary school. Apparently he loves Jon a lot, hence the picture.

My favourite kitty.

Jeremy! Never really knew that Jon’s brother actually fancies drinking quite a tad!

It was damn freaking funny when we took the picture on the right because it was the last polaroid film I’ve got, and apparently we forgot to take a picture of CK and our face went :O then laughed a hell lot about how stupid this was. D:

More of Jon’s friends came over later in the night, and they played more card games. I went to sleep when it was about 2am because I had to face the reality that I’ve got to work the following day. Why does all good things/moments have to come to an end so quickly? ): But oh well, I had my my fair share of fun that night and I bet everyone else did. (:

This party leaves me feeling happier than the surprise party that Jon arranged for me on my 21st. Not that it wasn’t good, but I guess it leaves me feeling happier to see my love happy and pleasantly surprised. (:

Special thanks to: Amanda and Edwin for discussing with me about this party for many nights on MSN and bringing the people together. March and Eugene going through the trouble for booking the room for us on this day! Thank you so much guys! <3

Ever since Saturday, I can’t stop smiling to myself whenever I think of what was planned for me.

I have never been this happy. (:

Saturday was the day that I have been looking forward to since the 2nd of Jan. The day that I’d reunite with my love, the day that I’d be back in his warm embrace and kisses. Little did I know that there was more that’s planned for me.

I stayed at home the entire afternoon, went to the salon to have my fringe trimmed, then was just trying to find something for myself to do at home while waiting for time to pass, just to see Baby upon arriving. I even went to take a nap! He told me he reached Malacca (took a coach from KL back home) and would be reaching in about two hours, which would be another hour later from the expected timing. It made my day passed even slower because every passing minute was a dread until I see his face.

As the time got closer, I decided that I’d head down to Chinatown to get myself a cup of KOI bubble tea, and another cup for Jon since he haven’t tried it before. But before I could even make my order, I received a call from Baby saying that he’d be reaching my place soon when I was supposed to pick him up at Harbour Front. I asked him to come to Chinatown instead since it’d be on the way to his place, but he insisted that I head back to my station and meet him there despite knowing that he has to wait.

It felt so good when I could hear the sweetest melody that rings to my heart, calling out for my name even before I could even see his face. The hugs and kisses felt so surreal. When I asked why he insisted that I should go back to Boon Keng instead of him taking a train down to Chinatown, he said “Because this would be exactly the scenario 4 years ago, during our first reunion.” That, made me smile. (:

Anyway, I was damn sad. I was in such a rush to head back to my station that I actually forgot to take straws from KOI, and the long ride back to Lakeside wasn’t exactly short, so my ice-cream milk tea didn’t have my ice-cream pleasure anymore. ):

We were supposed to have “a light dinner at The Chau’s, then head out for Bak Kut Teh with Amanda and the guys”. But just as we were about to enter the lift, Baby said that he wanted to buy some stuff, and then we walked towards the BBQ pit. And the very next moment, Jon asked if I could see my friends.

Just when I was planning on doing nothing fanciful on my 21st birthday, my dearest had a surprise birthday party planned for me while he was still in Melbourne; with the help of my dearest friends. All the hassle and trouble he had to go through without even being physically here in Singapore, I really appreciate it a lot Baby.

(P.S: Stacey was posing for this! Check out the last two fingers that were pointing up while holding the cup! Hahahaha!)

My lovely girlfriends, who are also July Babies.
(6th & 7th July to be exact! :D)

I love my soulmate!

The third (I think) bouquet of flowers I have received from Baby. But this is the biggest I’ve ever received!

Thank you Amanda for all your efforts! :D

The girls that made year three so much easier to get by. (:

DOPT peeps! <3

I was so surprised to see Estella because Jon have never met her before, and he invited her too! I am so happy! :D

Jon’s very funny bunch of secondary school friends. (:

We Are Family! *sings*

Evil Twin! (The balloon was in the exact colour as I was, hence being part of the picture!)

The present from Stacey, Kay Minn & Margaret! When I flipped the heart that says “Happy Birthday”, I thought there was a message for me at the back because there were some words scribbled on it. Turns out that Stacey told me that she wrote wrongly so she just turned it over! -.-” THIS GIRL AHHH! <3

Anyway, it’s a Quad Cam! :D

SP Band peeps! <3

Check out Blue Puppy at the back yo!

7th July babies <3

I love them both so much.

Amanda trying to be Jon, hahaha!

And J has gotten his share of attention that night! :D

Playing with balloons as though we are kids!

I love this picture! :D

Then it was cake cutting! :D

The damn awesome cake that Amanda got! THIS IS SERIOUSLY GOOD, EVERYONE JUST WANTS MORE! It’s so good I think I want my wedding cake from there! The thought of it is already making me drool. ): Anyway, Amanda was so smirk about the cake because everyone asked her where she got it from! (:

St. Margaret’s family (with a lot of missing people who came late!)

SP Band loves!
(& Kay Minn’s trying to be in every picture!)

DOPT darlings!

Jon’s buddies!

Evil Twin <3

And them most important person of my life.

The chocolate base of the cake is damn hard to cut!

Jia Sheng & his girlfriend, Jamine!

After the BBQ (or rather, buffet), most of them went up to The Chau’s place to catch football together!

Alcohol to round up the night! The ice wine that Zong Wen got was damn nice, I love it!

Hey J, why are you looking so cute here?! :D *heart throb!*

The huge bouquet of lilies from my sweetheart. (:

Gifts from the people I love. (: Totally love the Macbook Pro that Baby got for me! :D And I’ve gotten 2 different lomo cameras yay, I am so happy! Gonna play with them soon heehee <3

The rest of the girlfriends who came later! (And obviously it was quite late since you can see that I already showered hahaha!)

Zhun Hong who came after work with Janice! Really appreciate it! :D

FYP group yo! (Y)

Janice! :D

Hanging around in Jon’s room with my girlfriends <3

J the very cute party pup! <3

And some of the very funny messages I got on my birthday collage card, wonderfully and beautiful made by Estella! <3

Then a few messages later “Happy Birthday Kellyn! (I agree with Jelly) Julius“

See how pretty this is?! :D :D :D

The only guy that calls me Wei Min seriously. (The others calls me Wei Min just to disturb me)

I had such a blast. Jon knows that I have never had a birthday party before, so he arranged this specially for me a month before the actual day while he was in the midst of his exams. He contacted a few of my friends from different groups, and got them to help invite close friends to this party. I’d really want to thank Amanda, Stacey, Randy, March, Estella, Matthew & Tiac Woo for helping him out!

Jon was telling me the entire process of the day when he was preparing for the party. The boy was actually back 2 days before, and he didn’t want to meet me because of this surprise birthday party. And it really made me smile when he said that he met up with Amanda and Stacey, my very important girlfriends, earlier in the afternoon to run errands just for the party. Especially when I know from Jon that both of them clicked pretty well! :D And the both of them actually introduced KOI to Jon before I do!

He then held my hand, smiling, asking if I was glad that he brought two of my very close girlfriends together. Yes I am darling. Happier than anything. (But Amanda and Jon’s damn bad, they didn’t want to talk to me because I didn’t cry!)

Thank you so much for everything, everyone. I still can’t stop smiling thinking of this special day. (: I think I am so happy that I actually look happy and radiant without my make up on, for the very first time! :D

Anyway, I still have got a lot more DOPT peeps that I haven’t met! Really want to just spend this day with these lovely people just over a simple meal would be great. I’ve gotta go find time out to do so, and that’s if they’re free for me too!

I really don’t know what I’ve done to deserve you. Thank you Baby. I don’t know how to show you how happy, glad, appreciative and thankful I am of you.

You are the sweetest thing that has ever happened to me.

I love you. <3

School of Chemical & Life Sciences Annual Dinner & Dance 2010

Yesterday was the last event of my journey in poly, and that refers to the Annual D&D (guess I can also call this a prom)! :D Didn’t regret going for it because it was so fun seeing everyone dress up and looking all so glamorous! :D I invited the Jinglan, Peiyu, Ziwei and Yuli to my place to dress up and prepare for the dinner together. But apparently the earliest (Jinglan) was an hour late from the meeting time, so you can guess how late the rest were from there. Hahaha. But I guess it was fun! Some girly time dressing and putting on our make up together. :D Mommy helped me with my make up a little and she lent me the falsies she bought which wasn’t used before, and I’ve gotta say that falsies has got to be the hardest thing to do for make up! :O Doesn’t feel that it really changes my look a lot though. All I really need is for my (real) lashes to be more curled! /: Wore the blue dress I got from the Melbourne trip last year, and it’s the first time I am wearing it. What if I said that I bought this dress a year ago just for this event? I am actually quite serious about this, y’know? q: My accessories – Diva earrings & Tiffany bracelet – are both gifts from Jon! See Baby, I carry you with me everywhere I go heehee. ;) The Diva earrings in particular was a gift from Jon about 3 years back when I was still in St. Margaret’s! It has been with me for so long already. From my very first prom to second (which is probably the last too) and it’s still serving me well. (: Pinned up my hair because I have no idea what else I could possibly. /:

Mommy dearest!

We took a cab down to Conrad International, and then started camwhoring while waiting for the others to arrive! And… Matt got Pei Yu a stalk of sunflower, awwww so sweet and nice! (: Anyway, I was so glad that I didn’t died on my killer heels for the night! :D

On the cab!

FYP group, with our lecturer-in-charge!

The theme for the D&D was Casino, and though I thought it was a little lame…. but bring on the vices! The food served was really good, except that it came with stingy portions! /: I even ate the celery that was served even though I hated celeries. Maybe it’s a blessing in disguise that I’m eating my greens! (: Love the abalone soup with mushrooms (double yum)! And I was eating, I thought that afterall perhaps my favourite cuisine would still be chinese food. (:

And it makes me sad how I never ever won anything in any lucky draw before! ): And apparently the second prize enticed me more than the first. iPod Touch > XBOX360! Girls camwhored for really long in the toilet while the guys just sat outside and waited for us to be done. It was damn funny how bored their faces were when we were out.

Miss Lek

Had a really awesome prom to end of my journey in poly, though it would have been a lot more fun with the presence of some others too. But on a terribly sad note, I feel utterly disgusting looking at how fat I am in the pictures. ): I need to shed the fats seriously. Gotta stop thinking about it and work on it! My tummy seems to be very determined to be taking permanent residence ugh. I just wanna get rid of my tummy and have more toned legs and arms and I’ll be satisfied. Alright, that basically just sounded like I need an entire make over for myself. ): Oh… and my hair is damn screwed up. As dry as the desert. Speaking of which, there are two non-work-related thing I wish to achieve when I start working: To cook my own packed lunch to work (not everyday though) and work out frequently. I really wish to be more discipline and bring out the domesticated self in me. Not forgetting that by cooking my own packed lunch I can save some money and opt for a healthier meal! And of course, I’ll never forget this: Happy 47th month Mr Silly. Haven’t called you this in about 3 years ago, and it still brings back loads of memories. Really love the way you reminded me that today’s the 7th in the very first phone call we had in the late afternoon. The voice you had that sounded as though I forgotten about it entirely. Priceless. I love you my best friend and boyfriend. <3

And we’re still madly in love with each other.

We amaze me.

Now it’s only left with FYP Presentation (which is on Monday) and Clinical Test. One more week of school before I set free! And hey, I’ve already got the whole of the next week packed with activities right after freedom arrives! :D

It’s weird. This CNY, I’ve been only having 1 meal a day with hardly any CNY goodies popping into my mouth. Well, almost for the whole of CNY. Jon said I’m crazy because CNY has the most goodies, which is true! Whatever happened to my appetite? /: Perhaps it’s a good chance to work towards size 2 (hahaha)!

On Wednesday, Jeremy invited me over to their house to join in the gambling fun along with his fellow classmates (who are my year one juniors, but I only know one or two). /: I have never seen so many shoes outside The Chau’s residence before. :O Only joined his friends to play at a later time because I become quite an introvert when it comes to meeting a big crowd that I don’t know. /:

Thursday was a long day at school, finalising on the business report and getting it ready for submission. Was late for the meeting because I only had 4 hours of sleep the day before. Insomnia sucks so bad. ): Submitted the report, and then it was working on FYP slides. It was such a long day!

When I went to the station planning to head back home, I met the bunch of DOPT peeps who were on their way to Bugis for the steamboat session which I turned down. But in the end, I went with them instead because I got dragged down. Didn’t really regret it, though I was dead tired. But there’s this huge problem with me when it comes to having steamboat, because I only have the usual few; mushrooms (heap loads of them, really!), vegetables, and fishballs just to name a few. Sometimes that meat-eater in me is so tamed it doesn’t even function at all.

Hey Gorgeous!

I look horrid, and this is how horrid I look on lazy days to school. But it’s essential to me.

Then there was this surprise birthday celebration for Mr Lee as well! He seemed a little surprised with the birthday celebration as well. Zi Wei and I smeared some cream into his face, and thankfully his revenge failed! Wouldn’t want to have cream all over my face!

There was supposed to be this yu sheng session, but because there isn’t any around they used an overload of tang hoon (that was soaked in the soup) as a substitute! Oh gosh, it was so retarded but fun! Things you do as a student, priceless. (:

So the CNY vibes are almost over. It’s back to school, and I just gotta hang in there a little while more. Mad schedule up with me right now, and freedom smells so near yet so far! The thought of graduating (though unofficially) makes me really hyped up! But when it comes to making post-graduation plans, I don’t quite like it. ):

On a side note, I’m looking forward to receiving my Valentine’s Day present from my dearest when his Dad and both his brothers visits him in Melbourne this March! How lucky is this boy? He has got visitors every year! Though I think his gift is going to be some silly one (because he sounded like it was over the phone), I’m looking forward to receiving it.

Meanwhile, I gotta start cracking my head on Stacey & Amanda’s birthday gifts, and of course making an anniversary gift for Jon so that his brothers can help me bring it over for him (though it’ll make it a super advance gift). What should I get for him? I hate cracking my brains for getting gifts because of the lack of creativity in me. ): Would love to do something handmade and personalised though! But people, please give me some suggestions! No clothes, because I’ve already got him plenty of clothes. I hate cracking my brains on what gifts to get, especially when it comes to guys.

By the way, I’m looking forward to getting my LX-3! Thanks Nov for expressing your interest! :D (Y)
