chaque jour je t’aime davantage, aujourd’hui plus qu’hier et bien moins que demain

i love weekends really. why?

because i can stay over at mitang’s place!!!

duh.

hahah

anyway, after teaching tuition, i da-bao-ed ba chor mee from the bukit merah hawker centre (which nx agrees that there is cheap and good food over there!) and travelled from tiong bahru to woodlands to find my dearie! not that i minded the journey of course, since it meant that i could see dear right after all that travelling! hahah.

but when i was at the mrt station.. i was wondering.. which direction should i take? because whether i travel to jurong east before changing to the north line.. or changing to the north line at raffles place..it’s all pretty far.

dang.

i wished that there was a more direct bus so that i can get to my dear’s place sooner. sheesh.

well it’s really nice to see dear’s smile the minute i reach his doorstep. brightens up my entire day. or week even! haha.

oh anyway, we’re in the midst of completing a glow in the dark jigsaw puzzle! it’s one thousand pieces.. but oh well i’m not complaining! in fact.. i think we’ve done a pretty good job for two day’s worth of doing the puzzle already. hahah.

anyway.. we ought to complete it before 29th august.. because that would be our two year anniversary!! yaay!

and dear was wondering how we could like “share this present”.. cos technically it’s OUR anniversary gift for each other.. but we’re only going to hang it up at his place. we can’t possibly bring it back and forth between our houses right??

so oh well, it’ll just be in his house.. till the time we get married. then we can hang it in our new house, and admire it everynight together!

whee~~

omg. i’m so excited. heehee.

and i’m so excited for eurotrip with my dear too!!!

:):):)

gosh, i’m all smiles, in case you can’t tell.

oh yeah anyway.. mitang’s wai po (but he calls her ah ma).. cooks damn nice hei bee hiam! (the dried shrimp chilli paste!)

damn shiok lah!!

thinking that dear dear has probably slept, so i smsed him, hoping that he would read that sweet message the first thing in the morning and smile :)

but turns out he’s on his way to camp!

so that msg reached him this very night instead of tomorrow morning!! :( oh no!!!!

but dear’s reply was so sweet!

Every morning i will still think of you with or without sms. And when i do that, it is hard not to smile.

i can’t wait to see you on saturday after my tuition!!!!

btw, updates: my freaking skin looks damn ugly and scary now! shall scare you all with a photo :X

put a smaller photo, so that it won’t scare the heck out of you guys :(

damn gross right?? this is what the bike did to me. omg. please please please don’t let me have a permanent scar. i know dear dear said he doesn’t mind.. but i feel so disgusted looking at my own leg now :(

it doesn’t hurt at all now though, in case you’re wondering. but of course if i happen to like stretch my calf.. then it hurts a little. but not as bad as yesterday.

and yes, i put cream on it already. i’m going to do my dressing before i sleep, so that i won’t burst the “bubble”! if not, it’ll be prone to infections and thats waayyyyyy WORSE!!

ooh. just received a sms from mitang!

i am going to sleep now. have a run tomorrow morning. good night my mifeng. buzz in my dreams tonight!

so cuteeeee right? hahaha.

oh crap. now i feel so tempted to type out the sweet messages that dear dear sent.. which are saved on my hp. of course, earlier records have been erased away cos of changing a phone :( and you know the messages are stored previously in the old phone :(

okay i just select a few if not i think i will type until my fingers go numb. lol.

allo! je suis a ma chambre a l’ecole. quand rencontrez-vous? tu me manques!
seulement demain? recontres-tu ce soir? oui? je veux vois toi!
(I know, grammar is a bit wrong, but it’s okay! at least dear is trying! and hmm.. on hindsight.. were you trying to say “rentrer” instead of “rencontrer”? as in return/come back?)

ha ha. thank you! time seems to pass slowly without you…

done visiting dear? when are you visiting me?
(this made me smile and i think my relatives that i was visiting during cny must have thought that i was crazy)

*muakz *muakz *muakz *muakz *muakz *muakz *muakz *muakz *muakz nine for chang chang jiu jiu de ai.

not home. but thanks! i miss you! see you tomorrow. dun sleep too early tonight. i try to stay awake to keep you company.
(this was because i had a test right after cny.. so dear dear stayed up with me when i was mugging. so cute la! he was like struggling to stay awake yet he still bothered to do so.. so nice of mitang!)

hey dear! are you ok? can u just reply to my sms so that i know u are well?
(this was when i was too engrossed and busy with my experimental lab.. that i forgot to put my hp in my labcoat. as a result.. i didn’t know that dear dear tried to sms and call me so many times, to ask if i could step out of lab for lunch. sadly, i only had my dinner at 4plus pm that day. stupid queue at the nano drop.)

no prob dear! i won’t sleep too late.. u rest early too! i see you tomorrow ok? love you!

hope my love for u will fill u up for the time being
(this was when i was damn hungry, but had to wait for my dad to get ready before i could have dinner :X)

better take care and not let it get infected ok? i am missing u a lot.

hi dear! i miss u so much! are you thinking of me too? where do you want to go tomorrow?

ha ha. thanks dear. i dunno what i would do without you.

good morning my dear dear! woke up already? i miss you a lot? u feeling better?
(this was because i has diarrhoea for the past hour in the morning, ever since i woke up)

i miss u too. i think must put your photo as my phone’s wallpaper.
(hoho. a picture of the ghostly me! with all that glow somemore! goodness know why got that effect. and i don’t think i look pretty in that photo at all lor! nor sweet! nor chio!)

hi dear have your dinner already? dun eat too late ok? i love you so much!

of course i will care for u. otherwise who? i am really looking forward to wed.
(this means wednesday, not wedding.)

better perform well ok dear! i support u!

u can choose dear. i go wherever u want to.

sort of. nothing much to do yet. so spend most of the time thinking of you.
(this was when dear first went back to camp and there wasn’t many people around)

ya there is. your heart. is it available?
(this was when i asked him is there any particular place he wanted to go to during the weekend)

ya of course! i love you so much dear. love u a lot a lot.

yes. dear, dun leave me ok?
(of course i won’t ever leave you la!)

hi dear. sleeping yet? sorry i did not reply your sms and cause u to worry. what r u doing?
(aiyah. i understand that you may not be able to reply to my sms all the time when you’re in camp what.. it’s really ok. but it’s really really appreciated that you msg every night before you go to sleep though!)

that is nice! keep up the excellent work dear! give it your best shot ok?
i am always proud of you.
(dear is so supportive of everything, even my new job!)

thanks dear i love u love u love u love u love u love u love u love u

then a bit hard to come out already. you rest in the morning and go teach swimming in the afternoon? with the condition that u cannot stop missing me.

i will be there for you ok! *hug tight
i will always be here ok?
*very tight hug*
i will be. inside your heart. can you feel it?
(me having menstrual cramps. damn painful)

no. not at all. you are my world
(when i asked if i was disturbing him)

aaawww.

you make me melt mitang!!

now i can sleep very well already! so sweet!!!

no this is NOT about food.

it’s about my calf being burnt by the exhaust pipe of dear’s bike. it’s not my first time on his bike.. but it’s my first time getting burnt! it looks damn ugly! my skin.. is now like a layer of bubble.. it’s like swollen and all. and damn painful too! :(

put some cream and did the dressing on my own :P

ehh anyway we went to east coast lagoon to have our dinner. i had laksa while dear had fishball noodles. not bad i must say.. better than the fried hokkien noodles we ate while having our council night cycling (which santosh had planned crazy routes that involved bashing through trees/shrubs etc. hahah). and of course we drank sugarcane juice. i never fail to order sugarcane juice at that place, even when i’m cycling. lol

then after that we went to watch some people do that cable ski thing. there was this little boy who was so pro! he could clear the ramps and all, and didn’t fall into the water! not bad sia!

then we went to the beach to sit down.. having dear dear right beside me (since he was still in uniform we weren’t supposed to do anything very couple-ishly).. listening to the waves.. watching the stars above us.. ahhh.

i took one photo only though.

my hp camera light is damn freaking bright.. it blinded me :X

i love you dear! looking forward to seeing you this saturday!!! (and get closer to completing the jigsaw puzzle!)

okay, time for bed now. working in the morning tomorrow. siannnnnnn…. thank goodness i earned like $180 bucks yesterday for my 4-hour work! yaay! :)

alright.. this was a fabulous weekend! :D i loved every single moment of it!

anyway.. so since i’m feeling better on saturday morning.. i decided to head down to work. and boy, did i make the right decision.. because i earned quite a bit. and i can’t wait for my promotion (starting on monday.. because that means extra salary.. though extra responsibilities of course!) i also can’t wait for my internship. gosh, when that kicks in.. i’m actually gonna earn a substantial amount per month. something like if i work for 2 months.. it’s enough for me to stay, eat, and travel in europe for my entire exchange period. with some to spare, maybe.

following that, i took the bus to dear’s house.. omg. it was so nice when i saw his face through the gates! heehee. i miss my mitang so much, because i haven’t seen him for ONE ENTIRE WEEK. this sort of things happen when your dear is in camp.. but it’s okay.. i’m the super understanding mifeng so all’s fine :)

had lunch at the food court near his place. had some chicken ramen from the korean stall.. and i absolutely love kimchi! haha. since i was dying of hunger by the time i reached there.. i managed to finish ALL my food (quite an achievement for me okay. i never did finish all my food, except when i was in safti.. but that was probably due to the training ba.)

after that we went back to his house.. and we slept. wahahha. i can’t believe it. i was so freaking tired from work! i actually fell into quite a deep sleep. btw, on separate beds of course, since his parents were there. i personally think there is nothing wrong with dear cuddling me to sleep, but i’m not sure if his mum would think the same way. hahha.

woke up.. and then his dad drove us to the chalet at downtown east. omg. ZIMING IS SO CUTE!!! so funny when his si-gu asked if he was going to give birth and have a baby! then he was like “wo mei you baby la!” he’s super adorable. i can’t believe i didn’t take a single photo that night! lol. but he’s damn quiet when hw’s dad walks into the room.. wahahah.

anyway, went to e-hub not long later. since there was nothing much to do in the chalet and e-hub is this new shopping centre opened beside the chalets, within downtown east compounds. nothing much really. but i think it’s nice entertainment for the people who are staying in the chalets. they don’t have that many shops (other than like havaianas, most of them are eateries, coffee outlets, etc).. but they have a cinema in there, arcade, ice skating rink (i personally think there’s no ice.. it looks like just boards placed there, sprinkled with water on the surface only lor!), and… KBOX!! nx, hl! they’re charging 11.80nett for a weekend for 2 hours!! that’s not bad lah! but sadly we weren’t going to stay over so we weren’t going to use up 2 hours.. then that wouldn’t be worth it lor! but hl, nx.. an idea huh? hahha.

okay so when we went back i saw rachael! so funny. when i carried here and she was smiling.. her dad said that i was going to strike 4-d already. i asked why.. then he said that she never allowed anyone (other than her parents) to carry her before.. and even when her dad tried to come over to carry her, she didn’t want! that’s a first! she kept wanting me to carry her that night. whee~~

after that we went  back to dear’s place.. watched jacky wu’s show.. (haha, entertainment what!).. and it was on “store beauty”. basically the chiobus the stores employ to get more business lah., i think no. 2 is not bad, but sadly no. 1 won her by 1 vote!! and that was in the second round when both of them had a tie lor! bleah. crap, i sound lesbian. anyway, i admire all pretty ladies and handsome hunks lah. ironically sometimes i may be even more excited than my dear by a chiobu! wahah.

it’s so nice to be sleeping with the one you love the most, even if it is on separate beds.. ahhh. the feeling of bliss.

anyway woke up this morning uber late (12pm! haha!).. then ate some noodles and stuff.. and then dear was so tired.. he went back to sleep at 2pm! lol. when i woke him up at around 3pm.. we just lay in each others’ arms chatting..  and then it was a trip to causeway point and i got myself some winter stuff that i need for france (since i’m going over in winter and it’ll be sub-zero temperature. if i don’t get some warm clothes i think i will be frozen to death.

so far, the stuff that i bought?

1. thermal top $12
2. thermal bottom $12
3. black boots $16.73 (taiwan shoe spree, done on sgspree!)
4. adaptor $8.50
5. red turtleneck sweater $19 (in case weather not so cold like maybe around 13-15 degrees)
6. black coat 32AUD = $41.65 (bought from bairnsdale i think. damn cheap and good cos it’s damn thick and warm! it’s the one whereby i wore in aussie. see earlier post for photos)
7. scarf + gloves + headgear $18 (import from classic cutouts, done on sgspree!)
8. black scarf 2 euros = $4.27 (bought this ages ago when i was in lyon. how can you miss out on a nice and warm scarf for 2 euros???)

so that means $86.23 spent recently on winter stuff. this exludes the $45.92 worth of stuff i bought earlier. this means in total.. i spent $132.15 worth on winter wear and whatnots. but okay la. since this is ALL that i have to buy! oi, some coats alone cost more than this price okay! so i’m a good bargain hunter! whahaha.  don’t ask why i’m not buy winter socks.. this is because winter socks look damn ugly. this is also because i am going to keep my feet in my boots all day long, and it’s going to be warm and all.. right? ok ok fine. maybe i’ll get a pair of nicer winter socks.. in case i wanna go running.

i saw this thingy at winning. was deliberating if i should get it. it’s basically something that you can attach onto any flat bottom shoes for an extra grip for walking on ice. it’s $8.50! useful for mont blanc i would say.. should i get it or not?? hahah. but then again.. maybe i should bring my army boots.. since the grip isn’t too bad.. wahahha! (plus it’s FOC! lol)

wah shit, digressed so much. anyway.. dear and i bought a JIGSAW PUZZLE!! 2000 pieces. and we’re doing it together (framing as well).. in time for our TWO YEAR ANNIVERSARY! it’s expensive.. but oh well… hehheh for someone special on a very special date lah! so it’s worth it! :)

someone.. when you don’t spend your anniversaries by the MONTH, but by the YEAR instead.. it’s must more meaningful. and special. doing it every month like what little kids do..is so cliché..

after dinner at the food court, we went back to his place to eat YUMMY DURIANS, then embarked on the jigsaw-project! hahaha. not a lot completed, cos i had to come home.. but still.. it’s very nice when you’re doing it together! :D

and dear sent me back on his bike after that. how nice it is to be hugging dear and riding the wind :)

i’m so sad that weekend has come to an end.. but oh well.. i enjoyed every moment of it with you!!! can’t wait to see you again, and in the meantime..

I MISS YOU SO DEARLY MITANG!!!

today, in the morning. i somehow woke up.. and spent an entire hour in the toilet. yeah.. bouts of diarrhoea. the minute i came out of the toilet.. i felt my stomach being queasy.. and had to enter back in there. man, did i bomb the loo :(

so.. no choice la. i called in to say that i couldn’t come to work (if not i will spend the entire day in the loo).. and then i went to the rest a while before i went down to the clinic.

,

boy.. i really did fall into a deep slumber. maybe it’s the runs that’s making me feel damn weak and lethargic.. but i had a good hour’s nap. wow.

so.. i dragged myself down to the clinic.. and well somehow it’s due to something i ate la. which is quite obvious, but i needed those diarrhoea and carbon pills anyway. plus an mc to cover for work.

.

okay.. but there was obviously something that i was so freaking thankful of..

that is,

dear came down all the way to my place after camp to see me!!!

oh gosh. do you know how much i’ve been missing you this entire week? i know you’re busy with camp and all.. so i’ve been really understanding and i never did once kick up a fuss. it’s okay. i understand perfectly :)

but somehow.. you know.. even though my voice still sounds like crap (i don’t know why.. maybe i’m just feeling weak and super lack of energy).. my heart smiled when i saw you.

.

YES. my HEART smiled.

.

because LOVE is smiling on the OUTSIDE.. and INSIDE. remember this quote i used to have? it’s true. somehow you perked me up instantly.

.

it’s really nice seeing dear.. i couldn’t finish my dinner at Han’s because i had a serious lack of appetite today, didn’t even have my lunch. :(

.

then watch the movie called “Never back down” with dear. i think the guy is something like what HL would totally like! wait wait.. i see if i can find a picture of that guy for hl.. hahah

this reminds me of hl’s description in the council loggy..

must have wonderful abs, cute smile that can charm her aunties.. blah blah.. aiyah i’m sure hl can figure out which is the guy la.

okay. time to sleep. working at 10am tomorrow. then going for dear’s family chalet. yaay! :D

I LOVE YOU MITANG!

okayy. so i haven’t been updating. gosh. i remembered that there used to be those times whereby i would blog everyday.. or sometimes even more than once a day.. lol.

omg. i suddenly miss the kebab at hôtel de ville.. my poisson.. topped with lettuce, cheese, tomato, etc.. with mustard and mayo and chilli.. and fries in it.. *ssssllluuuurrrppp* only 3.50 euros! and it’s so huge that i can share it with someone else and yet still feel full (esp if they’re giving out free ice creams at the fountain there.. or free strawberries and cherries at bellecour.. or free packet drinks everywhere.. lol. i’m such a cheapo, going for freebies. wahhaha)

okay. anyway updates!

1. i’ve finally started working and boy am i working my ass off okay! but oh well.. it’s good money.. plus.. i’ve just gotten a promotion! :) so i earn like 20 per hour right starting from next monday. damn excited! it’s almost going to be like what i earn for primary school tuition.. just a little less than tuition of course.

2. the tuition kid’s mum has finally called me back so i’ll be giving tuition from next thurs, after work! yaay! this means extra income as well.. which means extra money to spare in france!

3. i am missing my dear so freaking badly. but sadly, cos he’s busy with range these few days so i’m not able to meet up with him.. but oh well, thursday is coming soon!! :) plus i’m going to his family’s bbq on the 21st.. which means i can see my dear for two times this week! yaay! hey, i’m easily satisfied and i’m not like other whiny girlfriends ok.. i’m just thankful to see my dear like even once a week.. or even a sms or a call if he can’t. i don’t kick up some stupid big fuss. haha. aren’t you thankful dear? for me being understanding? heehee

4. ah shit, i need to eat my lunch and then go to work.

ehh actually that’s all the recent updates also la. nothing much because the bosses are still settling the details of my internship. since i’m the extremely troublesome one who has to go to france while still doing my 1 year internship.. but i can’t wait for that to kick in because that means more money for france!

oh shit. i seem very money minded recently. this is what happens when your parents aren’t supporting you fully for your trip to france. haish. so i need to cough up a few thousands of dollars for myself lor. maybe like extra 4k.. such that i wouldn’t have to eat grass over there (which of course i don’t.. since i’ll be getting catered food from the restaurant in school)

chatting with dear.. makes me think about the future. and since i was bored, i decided to head to blogthings. lol.

Start Hunting For That New Apartment

You two are ready to live together – and probably have been for a while You’re a perfect match, even if you don’t agree on everything What’s important is compromise… a skill you and your guy have mastered So head out to Bed, Bath, and Beyond. It’s time for your new life together!

Your Relationship is Strong

You’ve built the foundation of a great relationship, and it would take a lot to shake it. Through good communication and respect, you have a true love that can last a lifetime.

.
.
.

Your Love is Based on Commitment

You believe that love is something that develops and grows. You don’t believe in love at first site, and you never mistake lust for love. For you, love is about mutual devotion, respect, and understanding. You don’t feel comfortable in a relationship, unless you’re both in it for the long run. Why your love can last: You don’t take commitment lightly – or leave relationships easily Why your love can fail: You’re so committed, you often can’t see the most obvious problems in your relationship

.
.
.

You Are 88% Ready for Marriage

This doesn’t mean you should rush out and get married… But if you did tie the knot, it would probably work out great!

.
.
.

He’s Absolutely Committed to You!

Your guy is committed to you, as if you were already married And hopefully, you show the same commitment to him While you may have had your ups and downs, you’ve smoothed things out If the two of you aren’t serious, you will be soon So start secretly planning your wedding It may happen sooner than you think!

.
.
.

He’s Going to Ask You… And Soon!

As far as a proposal goes, all signs point to YES! All you’ve got to do is stay calm and wait him out. If you want to start dreaming about your dress and ceremony… Well, that’s cool – as long as you keep it on the down low That means all bridal magazines go under the bed!

dear came over to my house today.. so that i could still see him, and we could still spend time together. just not outside that’s all.

but on one condition..

.

.

.

.

.

i had to cook lunch for him.

.

omg.

.

okay i know i make fantastic cakes like devil’s cheesecake and all.. but i’m only good when it comes to baking stuff.. like cakes, cookies, pies, brownies, etc.. but a proper meal?

i’ve only cooked one entire proper meal (4 dishes and a soup plus rice) for my family. ONCE.

so.. i must say that dear is being very brave to try!

okay so i cooked double fried green beans, egg omelette with minced porked, and some sauteed bananas. to me, i didn’t exactly feel that my food was good.. it was.. well.. edible. right dear?

i know dear, you’re so nice by saying that the food is wonderful because it’s cooked by me.. but oh gosh. i really need to brush up on my skills. honestly!

and i will, of course. hahha. otherwise.. how to feed dear in the future?

i love you so much dear!

mmmmmmmmmmmuuuuuuuaaaaaaaaccccccccccckkkkkkkkkssssssssss!!!

i’m so glad i didn’t force dear to come out with me yesterday.. i understand that he was tired with all that range stuff, having to sleep in camps… and i got such a lovely message for being understanding :)

thanks dear. i love u love u love u love u love u love u love u love u

hmm, why are there only 8 love u’s though? why eight? not 9 meh? i thought usually you would send me 9? hahah. i know you said 9 for chang chang jiu jiu de ai. then 8 leh? or you missed out on one? hahah.

and dear wanted me to stay over at his place tonight but i couldn’t.. since we had to more or less eat father’s day dinner.. so oh well. and i can’t meet my dear tomorrow either, because i am teaching swimming. bleah. and dear’s reply?

then a bit hard to come out already. you rest in the morning and go teach swimming in the afternoon? with the condition that u cannot stop missing me.

lol. of course i’ll never stop missing you my dear. can’t you tell?

i wish you are here with me now too..but oh well. it’s okay. i know you’ll always be in my heart.. so you’ll be with me wherever i am.

<3

oh btw, you know what? you know when you post a comment, there’s a little picture? somehow.. you got the purple one! and i know you love purple dear! yaayy! and i didn’t even purposely select that for you! lol

honestly i hate this advertisement man. it’s so freaking gruesome i don’t see how some people can say it’s a great advert.

*shudders*

Hurriganes

I Will Stay

oh wow. this weekend has indeed been hectic!

oh wait. but before that.. baby pics of myself!

ehh. not exactly BABY pics.. but they’re so nostalgic! haha.

anyway, this weekend..has been indeed busy..

SATURDAY

i was teaching swimming in the monring.. and i reached the place EARLY! woohoo! that’s rare considering it’s ME.. but oh well, sometimes i manage to surprise myself too.

then one of the students was sooooooooo late.. it was raining heavily when she arrived!

-_-”’

but what could we do but wait right?

so waited lor..

for like 1 and a half hours..

before we managed to get into the pool to swim..

happily taught them for 45 minutes..

and then…

THE LIGHTNING FLASHED ACROSS THE SKIES!

horrendous timing!

so anyway, i told them it would be pretty pointless to stay out in the freezing cold winds and the rain might not stop anytime soon so i’ll make up the extra time to them the next lesson lor.

so..

it was time to meet my dear!!

omg. i so so so totally miss my dear lah! now it’s as if we’re going through the same thing whereby guy is in army and girl is pinning for him outside.. such that a good time to meetup would be the weekends!

but oh well, at least i’m able to see my dear.. so i’m really satisfied already

:)

anyway..so i went to tpy to take the train.. then i msged dear.. and it turns out that he was at bishan.. so he asked me to wait at the station before we headed down to city hall together!

(see, i’m EARLY once again! second time of the day!)

it was so so nice to see my dear walking towards me.. heehee. i almost wanted to sprint towards him.. but there were so many people there and i didn’t want to look too much like an idiot, cos i looked like i was smiling to myself already. hahha.

oh yeah so anyway we ate at asian kitchen at city link mall.

i super love the chilli!

and dear does too! he finished the WHOLE plate of chilli even BEFORE the food came.. wooww..

we ordered zha jiang mian, shanghai xiao long bao, sambal si ji dou..

NICE NICE!

after that we basically just walked around the place lah. wanted to go to esplanade actually.. you know.. sit near the water.. enjoy the breeze, etc etc..

but since it was raining.. we more or less had to stay indoors lah.

sad sad

:(

but at least i was with my dear.. so any time spent with him is GREAT!

:D

oh anyway at starbucks.. we saw these:

this is the UGLY chicken puff.

and this is the UGLIER curry puff.

GOSH

damn cute names lah!

okay so after that i had to go to eugene’s birthday party.. and dear was like “can you don’t go?”

haiyah.. but eugene’s flying off to cornell after that right? and it’s his 21st birthday.. so cannot like don’t go leh..

it was like a mini class outing man! hahaha.

really fun. chatting, suaning ben (honestly that has to happen EVERY class outing somehow!)

and then i was trying to signal to hl something and she totally didn’t get it..

the similarity between her and starhub is that she has NO SIGNAL man! wahahha.

what a similarity between the consumer and the network provider.. waahhahaa.

.

anyway, eugene makes really LENGTHY speeches man!

until his mum had to like “hurry up with your speech or the cake will melt already”

it was chocolate fudge cake.. so all the sides.. were kinda running out of shape.. the candles were getting shorter.. wahhh.

then when he blew out the candles, everyone popped the party popper (horrendous use of verb here).. and it was so messy man! all the strings of the party popper was like ON THE CAKE! eeeww!

but the cake was really nice though.

and hl took the “legs” part, while i took the “love, mum and dad” part.

oh don’t understand? cos the cake was like in the form of eugene running (since he’s in cross country), with the “love mum and dad” at the bottom. so sweet of his parents!

.

okay, fast forward to sunday…

anyway i was supposed to go to CAFE DEL MAR with hl and nx..

i was a little late (oh btw, i was EARLY for eugene’s birthday on sat okay.. so that’s like THREE times early in a day!)

anyway hl and i decided to walk around river island while waiting for nx to come..

and sentosa trip turned into a shopping trip! bought this gorgeous white wallet (that i cannot stuff too many things inside and cause it to be very bulky, hence making me throw away receipts and managing my wallet regularly) which has a very unique lock system that is very hard to open! wahahha.

i think people have been prying and prying (cos i let them try la!) but to no avail

:D
so unique! i like!

oh ya, shopping with hl sucks.

anything you see that’s nice.. she says “BUY LA!”

then we end up with purchases and she ends up with NOTHING. wahhaha.

oh anyway that blue dress.. i really love.. but have no use for such a formal piece, so i bought the wallet instead. hahah. good choice i must say. luckily didn’t listen to hl! whahaha.

ok so we ate at white dog cafe after that. i must say that the food is not only DELICIOUS, but it’s also CHEAP! definitely worth it! dear, next time when we go vivo.. i bring you there to eat okay??

oh, and for desserts we had tiramisu and chocolate truffle cake.. wahhh.

.

so then we head to that shallow water thingy at the highest floor at vivo (because walking around would burn a bigger hole in our pockets, especially ningxi’s)

so we laid the beach mat (cos it’s so prickly to sit on the carpet grass).. and had our wine chocolate.. and CHOCOLATE CONDOMS!

:(

hl thinks it’s interesting. and she also thinks it’s less interesting than the marshmallow SANITARY PAD, coupled with STRAWBERRY SYRUP! eeeww! i wouldn’t dare to eat that la!

anyway, that’s my frowny face when the forced me to eat that.. and they said that me eating chocolate condoms was like as if i was eating something on fear factor!

-_-”’

oh anyway, i love the lying-on-the-beach-mat shots! (except that i have FAT arms)

everyone’s wearing different coloured clothes! yaay!

and somehow.. we all use NIVEA sunblock lotion (yes we brought to prepare ourselves for sentosa, but didnt use it in the end)

all different types! so cool!

oh so anyway i went to meet my french immersion friends after that cos it was wanying’s birthday (who went to lyon with me too)

then i said to hl “oh my friend’s here already”

then she turns and look and exclaimed “SHIMIN???”

turns out they were sec school classmates/schoolmates!

what a small world.

oh yes so the party. it was held on a yacht at one degree 15.. unfortunately i forgot to bring my digicam so i only have photos from my lousy phone at the moment.

yes i was pretending to steer the yacht. anyway a powerboat license costs about 300+.. not bad! cheaper than car license! haha.

oh for the bottom 2 pics.. it’s damn cool. it’s at latitude bistro (where i wanted to have my bday celebration at but i think it’s members only.. so it was rather troublesome to book that place)

anyway.. the tables and chairs are like halfway IN THE WATER!

i know you’ll totally LOVE this place hl! cos it’s cooler than cafe del mar! and since sumitra bought an apartment there.. hehehe.. maybe someday we could go there to chill out or something!

and the toilet is extremely nice! you know, coupled with sauna., sofas, tv, etc etc.. damn shiok!

oh the only terrible thing that night was that the toilet bowl was flooded! i think someone didn’t know how to use the flush la! cos unlike normal toilets, press a button means flush.. toilets on yachts have those “before” and “after” buttons. kns!

the place was so smelly we had to change to another yacht!

-_-”

that explained why i reached home so late and the next day was my probation! oh gosh. i was almost going to fall asleep. thank god i didn’t, cos i got the job! whee~~

i can’t wait to start on the internship as well man!

but first, m5, m9, hi!

okay i’m FINALLY done with updating. phew

can go and sleep now.

thankfully dear smsed already so that i know he’s safe and sound in camp. i’m so glad he msgs so as to not make me worry

:)

I LOVE YOU MY DEAR!!

:*

i wonder wth am i doing awake at this hour.. especially when i have a freaking LONG day tmr!

have to meet hl and nx for CAFE DEL MAR tomorrow! at 11am! gosh, i’m so excited!!! must remember to bring loads of sunblock!!! and moisturizer!!! and i don’t want to turn into a BLACK CHICKEN like clare jiejie! lol.

alright.. which means i had better get some sleep soon man! hahaha.

anyway, why was i up?

i was searching for accomodations in lyon actually..there are some not-too-bad deals off campus but sadly.. they aren’t available in that period whereby we would be there! :(

staying on-campus is not a bad idea actually.. though i wonder if i can save more by staying off-campus since we can cook our own meals.. which is probably cheaper right? or no?

it’s 66 euros i month if i get it catered for 5days a week (cos most likely i’ll be out on weekends and i’ll eat something else instead..or i might be out of town..so no point paying for the weekends. besides, you can purchase meals when you want extra at like 3 euros.. for a very very huggge portion that at least 2 ppl can share.

thinking about it.. 66 euros a month, 264 euros for a semester.. which is about S$543.84 for the semester. well, we paying something like 300++ for food in hall in singapore (which pretty much sucks).. so.. not too bad.. for like a 7 course meal or something (assuming you count the meat+veggie+staple of your main course as 1 course).

but staying off campus.. you can cook.. and it’ll be cheaper than 264 euros if you all decide to chip in for the groceries.. plus you get to stay with each other..

anyway, staying on campus.. it’s like 250euros (no more 195 euros since those buildings are torn down already).. so S$515 per month.. which is $2060 per semester.

so let’s compare with nus..

NUS:

i think the last bill was around $1500, so with the increment of $15 per week, that should add up to $1740

lyon:

$2060 + $543.84 = $2603.04

so that’s about $863.04 more expensive.. which isn’t so bad considering it’s euros..

okay.. more another time.

crazy angele!

SLEEP!!!!!!!!

oh wait.. and happy 25th anniversary too!

hahah. dear called me this morning.. i got a shock..

dear: i’ve got something really really important to tell you

i though.. oh crap.. is it something bad? like did he get into any sort of trouble? etcetc..

then.. aiyah. it was his mum’s birthday today.. and he apparently told me very long ago… but i lost track of dates somehow..i didn’t even know what date it was today…

but wait.. didn’t we celebrate his mum’s birthday last week? i thought some more i chipped in for the bird’s nest…

then i found out that last week was her lunar birthday.. and today. is the english one.

oh man. so confusing.

i never ever know when my lunar birthday is.. cos my parents wouldn’t know how to count the lunar calendar anyway…

but well, i had to dump my brother at home for a while till my parents came home.. i guess everything was fine, since i didn’t come back to find the house exploded into pieces! lol.

anyway.. dinner was not too bad lah. it’s at 品食 at yishun blk 925. hmm, apparently their hanyupinyin is wrong.. shouldn’t be pin si.. but should be pin SHI instead what.. no? i dunno. my chinese is horrendous anyway.. i don’t really speak so much chinese.. but i’m trying very hard already lor dear. but some words, like “escalator”.. i really can’t translate into chinese man. hahah.

oh..i liked the fish actually.. it’s apparently some famous dish that was featured in the newspapers.. then the last part they pour wine that was burning on the fish.. so it’s something like the fish was on fire! (not that it was burnt though).. the meat was crispy.. and the sweet sauce made it delicious!

the mango pudding was good too.. not too sweet.. but i prefer the one at crystal jade.. cos you can choose how much of that condensed milk/sweetener to add..

the vege with the three types of egg is not too bad! and i liked the soup of the dish.. cos it was a shang4 tang1.

ehh, what else? the chicken was nice! the skin was crispy and tasty.. but of course, knowing me.. i peeled off the layer of fats underneath the skin before eating.

hong2 shao1 tofu was not too bad too. although i don’t like the fattening pork that came with it.. or maybe that’s what hong2 shao1 was all about.. like maybe shao1 rou4? oh gosh, i’m clueless in these..

alright, 2.07am now. ought to sleep! just uploaded some baby/toddler/child pics of me on facebook. will blog about it another time! goodnight everyone!

and thanks relation for reading my blog!

of my own template. decided to change to the banana theme! i think this is much brighter and cheery! don’t you think so?

perfect!

don’t like it when some people seem so nice and all initially..

you know, kind, pure, innocent, friendly, helpful, approachable…

but just all of a sudden, they evolve into some horrible evil witch.

scheming and all.

sigh.

why am i even ranting? not like there’s anyone who comments on my blog anyway.. and dear never responded to the protected post also.. so i don’t even think anyone’s reading!

haha. wait, of course i know ks is reading.. can see that in my blog stats.. and my cousin too.. okay la. not many people are reading, all right?

anyway, i just HATE that transition in people.

i KNOW. of course i know it’s just natural.. but i still hate how ugly human nature can transform alright?

ok so i’ve decided NOT to s/u. cos it only affects 0.03 of my CAP.. which is like peanuts actually. and even if i had s/u-ed it.. it would probably make only like a 0.02 of my CAP next sem.. which is like no freaking difference. so? the only difference i can make is by studying for my other modules next sem! yaay! and study HARD for that matter.

i am SICK of my useless CAP. though i can’t possibly be pouring out my sorrows to ann, since.. she’s dropped below the 3.5 mark by quite a bit now. neither can i mention it to brenda.. so.. the only person?

dear dear lor.

and dear is like my advisor, telling me i should clear level 4000 modules because in year 4 i would be so busy with FYP that i wouldn’t have too much time to concentrate on other modules. which pretty much makes sense really. so i’ve decided to take one level 4000 module! alongside with 1 level 1000 module, since i need that as prerequisite for some modules. andof course, 3 other level 3000 modules. i think it’s definitely possible to pull up my CAP, so long as i work hard!

and now, i DON’T have hall activities anymore!

of coruse, i can still go running and swimming to keep myself fit you know!

haish. dear is being so nice by spending all these time with me just to discuss abt my grades.. lol. and i guess, from a graduate’s point of view.. it’s definitely good advice! since he’s been through the system before. although he can’t really advise me on the modules to take.. because what’s easy to him (like physics) is horrendously TOUGH to me! hahaha. and like maths.. you know, i haven’t done calculations in AGES.. so yeah. hahah.

but still. i’m thankful for dear taking the time even though he’s busy with camp and all.

and thankfully because i’ve been through the system.. i know how it feels like when the weekends come and all you feel like doing is SLEEP instead of going out. but dear says that he wants to see me! so? the BEST solution?

VISIT HIM AT HIS HOUSE!

in that way, it’s PERFECT because

1) he can see you!
2) he’s tired, but he doesn’t need to get out of the house!

see? perfect isn’t it?

a typical guy-girl conversation would probably go like this:

guy: i’m tired. i want to sleep this weekend. is that ok dear?
girl: what? but i’ve been waiting all week for you to go out with me!
guy: but i’m really tired…
girl: you don’t even place me on top of your priorities!
guy: i do.. it’s just that i’m really exhausted.. but i want to see you though..
girl: forget it, don’t bother *wails*

you know, that’s precisely why guys are in camps.. most relationships tend to break up.

however, since i’m aware of how shagged it can be during the weekdays and how you wanna rest during the weekends.. this is how it goes instead (roughly la, not word for word):

guy: dear, i’m really tired this weekend. can i not go out? i’m really sorry dear
girl: no it’s okay. i understand. wo shi guo lai ren. you rest well then ok? take care dear!
guy: but i want to see you!
girl: hmm, how about i turn up at your house instead? you can see me.. and we don’t have to go out either.
guy: okay! thanks dear! i love you!

that’s HOW it should be yeah? i know, girls being girls.. they want attention. they are..well, more pampered. it’s not easy for someone to take a bus ALL the way to woodlands. but for the one you love the most? i think it’s absolutely WORTH IT.

and in that way, no one has to throw tantrums, and you can still enjoy the company of each other.

plus, if that’s really the person whom you love, it doesn’t matter where you two are isn’t it?

anyway, bought a pair of heels that day. technically mum bought them for me. hahaha. i’m digging it! (please don’t tell me how fat my thighs have become. i know! shit, need to RUN!!!)

i’

thank you mummy!

oops. i guess i haven’t been updating! bleahh.

nothing much happening these days anyway.

the usual day of mine?

930am: wake up, wash up
slack around, watch tv, go online
1pm: lunch
slack around, watch tv, go online
8pm: dinner
slack around, watch tv, go online
sleep

oh wow. i feel like a useless piece of shit.

i can’t go running because of the gangster problem around. just saw the whole bunch of them hanging around.. dunno what they’re doing. afraid it’s not very safe.. so mummy doesn’t really want me to step out unnecessarily.

jobless. still no reply. am still waiting. but i guess i’ll just start calling tomorrow, and look for jobs.

driving license to settle, but no money, and i’m trying to save up for france as well. so you know.. with so many things weighing on my hands.. it’s quite hard to learn driving.. hmm. but i must do so before i graduate!

planned out my modules to take.. my gosh. i’m taking all life science modules next sem! not to mention during my exchange sem! and in year 4.. it’ll be something like that as well. wow. i have to plan out the modules because of exchange la, then i need to see how many more level 3000 and level 4000 modules i must take in order to clear my requirements. and also if the modules have any pre requisites and all.

uuurrrghh. i’m ranting. gross.

don’t know what the heck am i talking about. maybe it’s time to sleep..

i miss dear dear so much! and i can’t sms too much because my hp bill is exploding, since i made overseas calls and all in aussie. :(

but dear is so nice! i was saying that it’s alright even if he doesn’t call and i’ll understand but he says he promises to call if he can. aiyo! this kind of things no need to promise la! but since you promised that makes you even sweeter dear!

i miss my dear so much. bleah. and next week is such a busy weekend. i’m afraid i may not be able to meet up with dear. :(
