USS

...as promised :)

Thanks to the 2 heroes (Bee and Martin) who kept Mr Lau highly entertained and psyched the entire day, fefe and i escaped the deadly wrath of the Galactica coaster. Oh yes he did try with all his wit to con us into it... and he egged and persuaded and cajoled. NO MEANS NO. So shoot me, i die faster. But of cus, i had to make sure USS made an impression on me...so i took the mummy ride instead. It is e.v.i.l. that's all i know. 

My hero :) lol.

Went to my cousin's house for a gathering with my aunties on Sunday. As usual my 3rd aunty prepared her widely acclaimed POPIAH. This is fast becoming our family tradition. a MUST-EAT on all occasions because she will personally make sure you do. And here's the very obedient Mr Lau doing just that..

...and how very pleased is he with his product. 

yummy! 

hurr hurr i'm very sleepy and my shoulders are aching so bad :( 

There's just one thing i wish i can never get used to..that is being away from my boyfriend. It SUCKS BIG TIME. I could dedicate this entire entry with 101 reasons why I hate it so much but i don't want to come across as a whiney love-sick bimbo so i shall resist it.

But i stumbled across a pleasant surprise on his reverbnation page. He is blogging again :) x 1000000000

Though it's like just tidbits of his daily life, probably for his fans....i still love reading them. I remember how i used to 'stalk' him on his old blog posts when we first got together. I just wanted to know every detail about his past, his thoughts...whatever. I'm an inquisitor, heh. A biased one :)

With Bee away again (and more for the coming weeks), I have lots of alone time on my hands, probably a good time to catch up with some of my closer friends. Mah jong, anyone? hee. Gimme a buzz and i'll gladly oblige. But in case you assume i have an empty to-do list, I DON'T. I'm packing it up with work. Oh, in case you still don't know (cus I never tell you), i'm already working on my own (with bee). So i'm no longer a (not even 9 to 5) 8.30 to 5.30 slave, and I wake up to sunshine on my face every morning :D Life is beautiful....and i have so much more room to breathe :)

This year seems to be a popular year to get hitched. Seems like most people around me are getting married (GGAAAHH). From ex colleagues to colleagues to friends..... Just attended 2 weddings in one day last Sunday. Luckily one's in the afternoon (colleague) and the other at night (Rachel). I think i'm a total sucker for such occasions cus everytime i watch those wedding videos I get all emotional. always. absolutely embarrassing i know cus It doesn't even concern me. lol. But attending Rachel's wedding at the Fullerton, it was just so beautiful. Everything was perfect that night...of cus the bride and groom were beaming with bliss. They must be so excited about their brand new life together, a happily ever after journey towards something we affectionally know as forever. 

with bee at Rach & Bryan's wedding. 

And going to weddings actually gives people a lot to think about. It's not only serious because it's legally binding, but it means so much more. You cannot just walk out and abandon each other over momentary upsets, you cannot flippantly mention breakups or hurl hurtful words just to get your point across because you vowed on your wedding day to honour every word you promised to have this person with you for the rest of your life. You have chosen and made your choice because you love this person so much you cannot bear to live without, and so you have to work hard everyday to accommodate and compromise to every little flaw you find in him. And in the process, both of you grow together and in happier times, start a family of your own..and so a new phase of your lives begin. It's not so easy i know, this is an ideal many wedded couples are struggling to achieve... but i know for me, I'd fight to make things work even though i'm hardly close to having the sweetest temperament around. Pride gets in the away but Love conquers all. cheesy right? haha.. 

If you think about it, when people fight they can't think. Much as you will beg to differ, be it over big or small issues. People forget why they chose each other, all the happy times they had and still could possibly have. Take a step back even if you know you're right; accept your mistakes (i'm a sucker at that but working on it :P); put yourselves in each other's shoes for a bit...and remind yourself that it's not worth it because at the end of the day......

Love makes you want to give in and give chances. i'll always believe that :P 

Having been to so many weddings, i really wonder if I'd be smiling from ear to ear on my own wedding day or cry up a storm everytime someone comes up to congratulate me. One thing i know for sure, I will definitely not survive the wedding vows part. At least not for now... haha. That being said i hope it's a really intimate affair, cus I wouldn't want strangers or aquaintances judging my smudged make-up :P Just a random food for thought. hehehe.

On a more disturbing note, i spent the weekend shopping in town with Fefe for her office clothes (she just got an internship with DHL). We ended up buying a shit-lot of nonsense and i think the swiping almost set the credit card on fire. Well, thanks to THIS:

A $700+ KITCHEN AID. And so we lugged this 7kg metal from CK Tang to ION.


Fefe, explain your sick face because i don't understand. who in the world requests for a KITCHEN AID for their 21st?!

But after doing the math, i think it actually makes sense compared to the numerous useless things i bought throughout the year that doesn't contribute to quantifiable value in my life --- yes, this is justified.

oh, and there. we bought everything but office clothes :D




WELL DONE!

next entry .... USS POST! stay tuned :)

All i can say is, it's disturbing how a lot of Singaporeans are feeling such inexplicable outrage against the government. Of course i know of a lot of people rooting the opposition for sound reasons, but i can't say so for the rest - the bulk of the rest are just plain ridiculous. Are you really that worse off where you are now from 5 years ago? Or have you woke up one day with a dire sense of responsibility to vindicate your fellow Singaporeans in all the supposed righteousness you haven't been feeling so strongly about until now?

It's very simple, if i already dislike you, all it takes is a few persons to badmouth you further and i'll be thoroughly convinced. and that's how the situation is now.

the most ridiculous arguments against the govt:

(1) too many ERPs

Joke of the day: you can afford your downpayment, petrol and the newly tzenged rims and ridiculously high spoilers but you cannot afford ERP.

What other seamless solutions do you have then for traffic congestions we have been swearing about?

(2) Too much foreign workers in Sg

You want less foreign workers in Singapore but you hire maids at home to look after your kids and do your laundry? Why? your mother-in-law don't wana help you? local helpers too expensive?

ummm, what about construction work and cleaning jobs? because there are just so many singaporeans willing to work in these industries with low skills and wages...

oorrh... okay okay... i totally see where you people are coming from, but my eyes just can't roll further.

If i have the time, i'd rather invest on a good read:

maybe then you can focus on something more constructive than blaming the world for your circumstance.

Anyways, on a happier note... just one and half days more to BLISS again!!! yayness TTM.

miss you miss you!

hmmm lemme see, there are also more important things like shopping for a nice outfit for Rachel's wedding this Sunday, finding a nice mama's day gift for momsy and finishing the last episode of Dream High with bee bee dearest, and the list goes on...

Disclaimer: Do not mug me on Saturday if you don't agree with what i said above. I have nothing against your fervency in the GE. continue to wave your flags and jeer at the whoever makes you sleep better at night because our country will so benefit from your choice. LOL. 

Donch be mad k, here's my cutesy pooch for you..

peace out, peeps!

Bee asked me why i didn't update my blog. It's hard to focus on the peripheral things when you're constantly in good company, you know :P sigh... this is yet again another 'lonely' weekend for us. No morning hugs or coco pops breakies with bee or our morning exercise regime.. How i wish the animation can be completed by the end of this dreadful 2 days then he don't have to go away again. :( i can only wish. Anyways, at least we had an awesome 'getaway' steal (courtesy of timely coincidences and my brilliant arrangements) at MBS on the 29th :) and amidst all the uncertainties and stresses we were troubled with.. it was still a beautiful night as we spent quality time in each other's company.

Here's to the most important person EVER in my life: I'm all in for you :)

Sinful Dinner at the Esplanade

Some belated pictures from Gardener's Birthday surprise. JM & i headed straight from the event to join in the fun. We ended up having a ball of a time 'testing' his birthday gift before he arrives.
