Last night, my colleagues arranged a simple celebration for my birthday after work at Timbre @ The Arthouse. A simple session over food and drinks, but no cakes because I requested not too. Very appreciative because two of my colleagues were having their rest day and made the effort to come all the way down to spend this simple time together with me. And of course, the boy who joined us even though he had a long and tiring day at work.

The well wishes I received from everyone when the clock striked twelve and though the day, may it be through sms, Facebook or Twitter – thank you beautiful beings. ♥

Philip, ION’s manager – who is damn crappy, so I keep making fun of him!

Paul

Jarrad my supervisor Optometrist.

Jeric, fellow Optometrist.

Xin Wang after work on Monday night with my colleagues from ION.

Ever since my manager went on maternity leave, the outlet I was working in (Wisma, to be exact) merged with ION to be under the care of Philip. I guess this is definitely one period that I really enjoy working with because that means I get to be away from the incapable assistant supervisor since I get to rotate around working at ION & Wisma. And the ever so nice Philip really helped me to plan my working schedule when I told him that “I do not want to work with Jeff for the rest of the week”.

Working at ION was a really pleasant period during my stay at Optical 88. At least that means seeing more of my crazy cranky self rather than angsty, trying to defend and fight for myself with a colleague I’ve never enjoyed working with.

But today, I woke up knowing that I am free bird. That feels really good, albeit a little empty.

It’s December already.

I know I could easily have these problems solved if I had decided to stay in my comfort zone.

One reason why I’ve decided to come out of my comfort zone? I thought maybe it’s time for me to just go outside and face the world, get scolded by people, learn about the dog-eat-dog world out there, and hopefully learn some skills I wouldn’t learn. Oh yes, I’m definitely getting these. Nothing to be very happy about actually.

Just lately, I have this heavy hearted feeling when I know it’s a new day at work. Wondering what’s waiting for me (to be scolded or to be told off) for, and all I can do is to go to work feeling very cautious of the people around me, which is something I really dread and hate. The feeling of not being able to trust the people around you is quite… sad.

At the very beginning – I’ve two colleagues just for your information – I thought that my assistant supervisor (Jeff) was a nice and friendly guy while my manager (Jessica) was a picky and difficult person to mingle with. Now, my opinions have changed. My experience working with Jeff was nothing short of unfairness and pretentiousness. He carries a smile along with a knife, exaggerates things quite a lot (like how pissed Jessica is with me when she isn’t), how he snatches sales from me because of commission, is always on the phone bitching and gossip (like a bitch, really), comes to work late and expects me to sign in for him. Jessica’s quite difficult to satisfy because of her rather high expectations, but I really appreciate her for telling me off in front of my face instead of beating the bush like Jeff. At least I feel that don’t need to be on guard all the time.

I’ve gotta admit that I’m a really huge blur queen who’s really forgetful and careless. That I agree I have to try and work on and improve in so many ways. I’m not flawless, but I know at least with what I’m trying to do now is to handle well what my job scope expects me to before trying to work on others. This is not an excuse, but I’m honestly still a newbie and there’s so much I need to learn, and learning takes time. I hope they see that.

Sometimes I just want to suck it all up, keep my mouth shut instead of being stepped over because I’m-a-junior. But sometimes I just have so much to complain about work. I’m don’t hate my job, in fact I don’t even think working such long hours bothers me so far. I just hate having to be pretentious and be on guard of the people around me all the time.

To be frank, Jon’s Dad has been asking me to go back and work for him even though it’s only three months since I’ve left. I can always choose to get back to my comfort zone and be happy instead of facing all these crap and being taken advantage of. But isn’t this the reason why I’ve decided to come out and have some exposure?

I really hope I can hang in there, take all these shit, and make it through a year before going back to where my heart really belongs to. Just another year at least.

After three arduous years in Singapore Polytechnic. (:

Yesterday was a rather big day for most of the people from my batch because it was our graduation day. But surprisingly, I didn’t feel excited or looked forward to the particular event. It just felt as though it was just another off day.

It was a pouring heavily when we were making our way to school, and the hall was crowded with people the moment I stepped into the hall. (Oh yes, I was slightly late! q:) Was a lost sheep in the hall trying to look for my seat (I just typed shit instead of seat and I laughed at myself. I’m a joke. -.-”) and was glad to find myself sitting beside John! :D He was quite a great company because the both of us keep making weird and funny comments! I never knew that people had @ in their names, and it’s read as alias or something along that line. I was saying that next time I shall put my name is kellynting@gmail.com instead of Ting Wei Min. Okay I was just being annoying, but I thought it was quite funny! /:

Anyway, despite being on stage plenty of times for band performances, I still find myself having stage phobia every single time. I was telling how nervous I was to John I made him nervous too. It was just getting the scroll and that was probably the longest 1 minute of my life. I didn’t even dare to look at my face which was screened on the huge projector like how most people did, and neither did I looked at the audience. I just walked straight all the way, as soon as I can and left the stage.

After the graduation ceremony, it was photo taking time! :D I invited Jon’s parents over for the tea reception since I only have two tickets for my parents. I didn’t have a lot of pictures taken because I think I looked like crap and I was busy running here and there looking for people! /:

I never knew that inviting Jon’s parents would actually make me feel a little embarrassed. Apparently he has quite a wide connection with people in the industry, and that also means that he knows the lecturers. And even though I bet some of the lecturers already knew that I’m “Richard Chau’s son’s girlfriend” (I bet lecturers are as busybody as anyone of the students), it felt really weird when Uncle was saying he’s here to attend his son’s girlfriend’s graduation. Really didn’t know how to react at all. And then having Essilor’s GM & manager coming up to me to congratulate me felt totally weird too, because I only see them when I was still working in OZ.

I guess working as a part-timer since I was year one actually helped me to widen my network in the trade too.

On a side note, Ayuni baked brownies! :D I love her brownies because it taste really good! :D I really should visit her one day and learn all her baking skills. She should really just open her own bakery! :D

My lovely parents <3

Had a late dinner with the Optique Zone Crew at Dempsey Hill’s Tawandang! It was my second visit here (third visit to Tawandang if you include the one we visited in Bangkok earlier in March), and I had a feast! Totally loved the mango salad because it’s sour, and the morning glory’s just super crunchy and yummy! <3 Got myself a Cranberry Juice because I felt like drinking something slightly healthier. q: A few of the higher up staff from Essilor came and join us, and while Uncle was having his business talks with them, I was busy catching up Aunty and the rest of my ex-colleagues. Then Dennis from Essilor started talking to me about the company site that I started up! He complimented that I would make a good marketing person, heee! :D

Speaking of which, I need to start doing some site maintenance! It’s not easy to keep a company site going, unlike a blog. /: I have a feeling that 2 off days may not be even for me! ):

Got myself a new pair of Ralph spectacles, and Uncle gave it to me when I insisted on paying. ):
I love my new spectacles, though I only wear it when I used the computer! :D

Happy birthday Jinglan! :D

Met up with the DOPT peeps yesterday night to celebrate Jinglan’s birthday! :D Dinner at Marina Square’s Swensons wasn’t that pleasant to me after all, but the company was great. The waiter didn’t serve us our plain water for an hour (not until we asked for it), and my share of salmon & mushroom baked rice was tasteless. I bet I can cook something better than theirs. /: Thank goodness for the noisy bunch of people that made that night more enjoyable! :D

Ever since I’ve started working, these are the group of people I’ve been meeting up with rather frequently. Perhaps it isn’t really that difficult to keep in close contact with each other even though we are working under long retail hours. (:

Before meeting up with these people, I decided to bring myself out to shop a little! Cotton On was it, and I burnt my pocket a little. With that, I am not going to pamper myself any more for the rest of the month (I probably said this a million times) and drafted out my officially monthly financial planning draft. Gonna carry it out strictly from next month onwards, and I hope I am disciplined enough to do so.

But for now, let me indulge in my happy loots! :D

Got this bimbotic $5 home-slippers from Cotton On Body because it is so cute and comfy. Gonna wear this around my house all the time from now on!

My happy loots from Cotton On & Cotton Body! I am a basic junkie. Timeless.

On a really random note, this customer of mine (who happens to be a director for BBC in Singapore, or so he claimed) bought two pairs of glasses from me and wanted to date me out for dinner. Apparently both of his glasses were ready for collection, but he only wanted to pick up one of them so that “he has a reason to come back.” -.-” He asked if he could bring me out for dinner on my birthday, so I messaged Jon and told him about it.

K: Eh Baby, one of my customers wants to date me! Should I go? (of course I didn’t want to go)
J: You got wear our ring or not?

HAHAHA, Jon’s reply was just classic it made me laugh to myself like a fool seriously! That boy…. he is just my biggest weakness and heart throb. <3

Missing you very much my dear. One and a half more months to go.

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.

1. I guess I’m actually doing quite fine in my new working environment. Rather huge responsibilities, but I must say I enjoy my work despite the long working hours and being often misunderstood and looked upon as just-another-sales-person. Oh well, guess I can say all’s good! :D

2.Quite a few of my friends actually came down to visit me, or meet up with me for lunch/dinner! :D Estella, Eng Heng, Karen Ting, Matt, Samantha Ting, Stacey, Yuli, just to name a few! (:

3. I’m going to catch Iron Man 2 for free in early May, how exciting! :D It’s a free movie sponsored by Ciba Vision for Optometrists working in Optical 88. Look at how the things that contact lens companies do to bribe us to sell their products! q:

4. I’m starting to bring packed food from home for lunch every day. There are even some random days I will cook up something simple for myself! (: Love having an apple and a bottle of yakult for breakfast too! (:

5. Brought my Mom out to shop on my off day! :D I love some alone bonding time with my Mom just like this. (: After which, Soulmate came over joined us after that and we had Sun with Moon for dinner! :D Recommended Stacey to try my favourite collagen soup and she loved it! :D

6. Met up with Optique Zone’s ladies after work at Timbre one day.

7. Very funny and random convos with Jon.

K: Dear I don’t want to work anymore *hinting to him to feed me for the rest my life*
J: YOU BETTER GO AND WORK!!! *awhile later* Eh dear, why not I be your xiao bai lian? You have to pay for all of my expenses when we go out, then you have to pay me extra $50 to spend the day with you.
K: -.-” I want to kill you now.

K: Dear, I’ve already planned for you what you want for your 21st birthday already.
J: Woah, don’t stress me like that leh. (since he’s probably having some weird plans)
K: I booked the Macdonalds at Boon Keng. Kid’s birthday party!
J: Phew, I don’t feel that stress anymore. Mine’s just slightly worse than your plan.
K: -.-”

Just when I always think I’m going to shock him with his life, he always have a way to counter me. But here’s one from me to him! (Y)

K: Dear, can you faster start working?
J: Why leh?
K: I am planning to retire by the age of 25! :D
J: GOOO ANDDDD DIEEEE!
K: HEEEEHEEEE! :D

Weird because I didn’t have the usual company of my colleagues who makes me feel very comfortable at work.
Weird because I am going to perform eye tests in a different environment.
Weird because I am totally unfamiliar with products that’s available and the discount that is allowed to be given.

Guess I can’t complain much since I was the one who wanted to work elsewhere.

When my ex-colleague gave me a call after work to just check out how I was coping on the first day, I teared. ): I really miss my colleagues a lot, and I never forsee myself to be reacting this way. ): I really don’t like this feeling of unfamiliarity, and I hope it goes away really soon.

Anyway, I am posted to Optical 88 located at Wisma Atria, so feel free to drop by and visit me! (: In fact, I am available to go on lunch and dinner dates, so feel free to ask me out for a meal at nearby vicinities! (:

One positive thing about working in Wisma Atria: It only takes me 30 minutes to reach work (including walking and waiting time)

One negative thing about working in Wisma Atria: I have to spend a hell lot of money of food right now. Everything is so expensive! Does anyone know of where I can get damn cheap food in town, like maybe <$4?!

Now I need the Ministry of Health to have my license approved as soon as possible, or else I will be receiving terrible mudhole pay for the whole of the first month! I even had so much trouble with applying on the website. /: The government sector better be efficient, because time is money to us now. And I am talking about a super huge difference by the way, so please pardon my stinginess (and I am not the only one who feels this way).

(P.S: Anyone’s free to go on a shopping date with me next week on my off day? I seriously need to replace my torn and tattered bag and get a new pair of comfy shoes. My flats are making my sole hurt already!)

Their replies to my farewell message almost made me tear even though it was just simple. I guess moving out of my comfort zone expects me to deal with a lot more than this, and this is just the beginning.

I hope my first day at work tomorrow will be smooth flowing, with a good working environment and easy-going colleagues. Let’s just pray for the best!

Goodbye

Hello

Tomorrow marks the beginning for me.

Welcome to phase two of life.

The wonderful people that guided me a lot through my part-time working experience at Optique Zone. I’ll miss their patience and their craziness, and I hope my new colleagues would be as easy and fun-loving as them. (:

After work on Friday night, some of my colleagues and I went to The Loof as a mini farewell party for me. Loved the ambience of that place, a rooftop pub, even though it was a tad to noisy since it was a Friday night. Would definitely want to visit the place again, but with the wonderful company of my lovely girlfriends instead! (:

I ordered smoked salmon pizza and magic mushrooms because I was feeling famished and greedy! Gotta say that I love smoked salmon pizza big time, but it’d have been better if there was tomatoes and more mozzarella cheese on it! Basically I love smoked salmon, and I can just eat only smoked salmon and nothing else for 3 meals a day! (Okay, exaggeration noted but you get the idea.) Magic mushrooms, because I love mushrooms! But then I guess maybe I’d love to eat sautéed mushrooms (or any other way of cooking it) more than fried, since it tends to absorb a little more oil. /: But love it because it’s topped with tomatoes! <3

I’m leaving Optique Zone, where I’ve learnt a lot, to widen up my exposure to this industry. And hopefully, I’d learn even more. I guess I do deserve a pat on my back for being so willing to step out of my comfort zone on my own accord, and let’s just hope for the best to happen. I’m really hoping that I”ll meet great people at work, or at least easy-going people who will take care of me as a freshie! (:

Above all that, I’ll really miss these people whom I’ve been working with for the past 3 years as a part-timer.

And for now, I’m jobless for the next two days (but gotta go back and help out on the 31st since Uncle specially requested for me to)! (: I hope my pay comes in quick because I’m drained down to only $20 in bank account! Broke as hell. ):

For the three days, today included, I’ll have quite a few things to do. Resting at home (will be planning to do this most of the time), getting a hair cut, scout for a bag (since my current one is torn and tattered! ):), and meet up with some friends.

With that, I’m starting my second phase of life on the 1st of April, and I hope all goes well. (:

It was Stacey’s 21st Birthday Chalet on Sunday, and I rushed back home to get prepared the moment I got home from the Kukup trip! It was such a mad rush, and I had to find ways to dress up for her party’s theme where we had to dress like a cartoon character/actress/singer/anyone! And since my creativity juices failed me, the most appropriate outfit as suggested by Stacey was to act as Bella Swan. I thought it was quite a Fail in my case. ):

My Soulmate looked so cute that day! :D It was quite fun although I didn’t know most of the people that were invited. The games were quite entertaining, and the Yes/No game was the ultimate stress thing for me! ):

Stacey’s dressed up as Minnie! :D

Fellow St. Marg’s girls! :D

Playing with Lenus’ platinum blonde wig (which she specially bought for the party! :O) heh heh!

My favourite Minnie.

Stacey & Ben. (:

Though I looked like crap, and Stacey looked really awesome and cute with her pseudo-mouse ears, I hope that my dearest enjoyed her birthday bash to the fullest! :D Sorry that I couldn’t stay over my dear although I really wanted to. ): But I guess it’s okay, because we’ll have stay over sessions soon yes?! We need to start working on our plan really soon! :D

Anyway, I went for my very first official job interview today with Ziwei and it went really smoothly. The job offered me a 5 day/week (when I was expected at least a 5.5day/week considering it’s in the retail line) and the pay was more than what I have quoted! How awesome is that?! :D Will be heading down on Friday morning to sign the contract with Ziwei, and would probably start work proper in April. (: Looking forward to be financially independent, and to pamper my loved ones too. (: I guess one good thing about being an Optometrist is that you’re always in demand, at least for now! ;D Let’s just hope that I’ll be posted to a good outlet with awesome colleagues who will guide me along the way.

Really proud of myself that I am taking a step out of my comfort zone and go through all the hardship. I am young and I want to explore what’s out there. I hope I’ll love my job. (:

On a side note, I am really missing the Boyfriend terribly. Really bad in fact I feel like crying soon. I really need to be with him right now to ease all this crazy emotions I am going through. I honestly, seriously, feels that no one understands what I am going through.

I need to July to come now. Right now.

Not forgetting that I am feeling very appreciative of my parents too! My Dad has been really willing to send and pick me up from school/work without any complains. He probably understands how tired and drained I am. Have been falling asleep on the rides home, but it is really nice to have days like today, where my family actually kept aside some popiah and chicken wings for me. Really appreciate it, and I love my family tonnes for that. (:

Work today was very demanding of me. I have been doing refraction non-stop till about 4pm. And I only get to have my first meal of the day at 4pm! Was like a total jelly because I was tired and a little hungry, and all I did was pray that my stomach wouldn’t growl while I was doing the eye checks. Audrey popped by with Xiu Xiang and she got me a brownie bar from IKEA! Totally appreciate it babe! :D

Although working in a shop means long hours, longer than school hours to be exact, I really enjoy myself. Gotta admit that there are bad times at work too, but I really get a sense of achievement from work especially days that I can really give advice to people! Maybe I just enjoy talking and people listening to me. Hopefully this kind of mindset and positivity will stay with me through the years! (:

I guess I do deserve to pamper myself in a crazy month like this! Thought that these clothes would be something I’d wear to work, and maybe I’ll just wear them for Chinese New Year too! Killing 2 birds with 1 stone! (Y) But apparently I only received 1 out of 5 items that I ordered. Hope that I will receive them really soon! :D

Though I really love most of Agneselle’s dresses, I think it’s time for me to stop getting dresses because it makes me lazy. I’m losing a lot of my creativity juices to mix and match my clothes just because all I need to do is to slip into my 1-piece clothings. Need to shop for clothes, bags and shoes. I want everything and this is terribly bad! /:

On a side note, I’ve 3 major reasons why I am looking forward to the end of February:

1. End of school!
2. I’m going for the School of Chemical and Life Sciences Dinner & Dance (Prom)! :D Apparently I think I am going to wear the dress I bought from Melbourne, which I haven’t got a chance to wear yet.
3. Bangkok Graduation trip: Think of massaging, shopping, food, sea sports and gay shows! How exciting! :D

Happy 21st birthday Zi Wei! :D Though I highly doubt that you’ll read this, I hope you had a great day out celebrating your birthday with your friends! (:

Despite the very crazy week, after working non-stop for 14 days, and another 14 more non-stop-working days to come, I can’t shoo off the fact that there are happy things that happened to me in the midst. (:

1. Met up with Evil Twin Estella for dinner at Thai Express had boost! :D Tried on a new flavour – Passion Mango! Another yummy Boost drink added to my list of favourite (and healthy) drinks.

Green curry and awesome Tom Yum soup! (Y)

2. Lor mee for breakfast with Daddy on Saturday afternoon at our usual lor mee place (Havelock Road) since I was a baby. Not that I even started eating lor mee since I was a baby, but there’s where we always patronize since decades ago.

3. Having Amanda darling for my patient on a Saturday afternoon. And she’s such a sweet little thing to buy some Chinese kuehs for me to eat! Thanks Babe, that really came as a surprise and I really appreciate your little act! :D

4. Starbucks green tea frappe

5. Supporting Janice and Joseph for their badminton match after clinic, which they won! (: Kept screaming and cheering till my throat went a little hoarse. For that, I think Janice owes me a cup of liang teh! q:

6. Celebrating Yi Liang’s birthday after the match! Zi char for dinner with the whole bunch of DOPT peeps. Definitely one of the things I will miss after graduation.

Happy 20th dude!

With our lecturer joining the guys in the cake-smearing activity.

7. Though I was really tempted to leave work earlier since I am so physically and mentally drained, I am glad to find myself enjoying work. Work > school at this very point of time. Less tiring, more fulfilling. In addition, the sales today was at the shop’s all time high with 5 digit number sale woots! :D

Point #2 to #6 happened on Saturday which lasted since forever. I was practically dragging myself home because I felt like I was going to concuss any time.

Other than the fact that school has been bleak and I wish that I had 8 days a week, but people around me makes it a lot easier to get by. Very thankful for all of them, even the one that’s the furthest away by body but the closest at heart. (:

One of which was packing my stuff since I was staying over at Jon’s place. And I realised that the only thing I wanted to bring was my daily beauty stuff (toner, moisturizer, make up remover & etc.) and my make up pouch, since I have my clothes there and what not!

My standard everyday use. On top of these are my mud masks, MBD masks and hair treatment which are used once every 2 days/a week depending on what it is! So vain I know. /:

St. Marg’s alumni band in the afternoon and it feels so good to be playing the flute all over again after so long. The only problem is that my hand and mouth ached after playing for a while due to the lack of practise. ): Caught up with Grace who has been my fellow batch flautist! We used to dislike each other, but then grew to become relatively good bandmates thereafter! So much has changed, and surprisingly both of us are pretty similar when it comes to certain issues about our lives. (: I’m not the only one! q:

After the practise ended, my girls went on separate ways and it was left with Audrey and I to wait for the bus. Apparently I was enjoying the short alone time spent with her talking about some topics which was… Lol, shall not be mentioned here. But oh well, we are on the same boat! :D *Shhhh*

Dinner at The Chau’s. When Jon’s Dad came back from work, Jon’s parents and I had a relatively long talk about a lot of things as usual. Mostly about work, and then seeing me updating them about how their son is doing in Melbourne. I’m very proud of this boy, and I’m sure his parents are as proud of him as I am. Apparently he has been getting really good grades for his assignments; getting the top few results when >50% failed, getting full marks and almost-full marks grades. I know he’s working hard for his future, our future. He’s spending most of his time schooling and studying while I’m spending most of my time schooling and working. Terribly boring lives perhaps, but when we are reunited again it’s going to be nothing less than the epitome of bliss and fun! :D I guess in the midst of this boring life I’ve, I’m still meeting up with friends and enjoying some good time together with them.

Maybe people think it’s weird why I stay over at their place when Jon’s not around. I’m already treating The Chau’s as my family already; I love them like my own and already consider them as one. Change is inevitable, but I hope nothing changes too much.

The only problem being at The Chau’s? That familiar bed never seems as warm as how it used to be when he’s lying beside me. Walking around the house, or anything near that vacinity makes me miss him terribly much. It even reminded me of the time when I acted super pitiful and cute to gain his attention while he’s watching football, and he still ignored me entirely. I even miss the times of being ignored, as long as he’s by my side. ): Makes me hate long-distance so terribly much.

Sunday saw me waking up early and headed down to the pool for a swim. But being the usual forgetful and lazy me, I forgot to bring the goggles down and didn’t want to head back up to get it. /: So I had a short swim and then headed back to wash up for work! Jon’s Grandma offered me to eat some chinese pasteries, and it’s quite delicious! With that, I had to say byebye to the flat (but not taut) tummy I had earlier in the morning. Difficult not to gain some weight after going to their place. ):

 
Love sitting by the poolside just lazing around. Still looking forward to my poolside picnic with Baby when he gets back, along side a whole list of things for us to do when he’s back!

Work today was totally boring! ): People that came in was time-consuming that didn’t end up buying anything, and that’s the worst kind of customers really! /: I was absolutely dying from boredom I was screaming “I’m so bored!” all the time, no joke. ): To end it all, when all the shutters were down there was this weirdo aunty that rushed into the shop. Too lazy to elaborate anything, but she complained that her glasses gave her blur vision and wanted a replacement – when it’s more than a year ago that she bought it, not forgetting that she actually purchased another pair of glasses after that from us. -.-” One reason why I’d want to work on Saturdays instead.

Oh, and there’s this really nice pair of Marc Jacobs sunglasses that’s so comfortable and pretty! I’m wondering if I should get it because I love it, and also because I can get it at a cheaper price of course! Love the bows at the side, so cute! Everyone at work said I should just ask my Mr (Jonathan) Chau to get it for me, lol! But it’s not a need, just that it’s so pretty I love it! And I keep wearing it once or twice whenever I work omg. /:

And my parents picked me up at Commonwealth from work! Save me from walking the super long route at the Outram Park interchange!

Another long week coming right up for me. ): The only thing that keeps me going right now is the Hong Kong-Macau trip in December right now. I can’t wait!

An almost-perfect weekend. The only thing that’s missing is you.
I’m never quite complete without you, and you know it.
