New love!

2011-09-24T10:43:00.000-07:00

Hello all..

Its so late now and im here watching Soccer - Man Utd VS Stoke. There are 8 ppl watching together with me.. Baby's friends are here to play some poker games and watching soccer together. I am not really a soccer fan but i do enjoy watching some exciting match, especially with baby.. The current score now is 1-1 as of 57th min and i am actually happy as Man Utd fans out there are getting too arrogant.. -.-
My bb's fav team - Arsenal is really not on form this season and losing many matches, even against those not so good teams. But i don understand why Man Utd fans had to put other teams down. Its alright to praise ur fav team as they deserve it if they played well, not to the extent of criticizing others. BLEH! Hope they LOSE now!! (ACTUALLY no la!! cause bb bought Man Utd win.. SO, WIN = $$$$).. Ok, so pls WIN!! and cover my cost for Muffin!!

Muffin! Is our new love!!
I nv thought i would own a puppy but i did!
Its my first pet of my own! Dad used to have fishes when i was younger and bro had brought back a few hamsters yrs back.

I fell in love with toy poodle the moment i sees it.. Its like a living teddy bear!
We had went to many places to view dogs and had only finally decided on Muffin after rounds and rounds of viewing..

Before i got muffin, i already told bb i wanna name my toy poodle muffin and i like those light brown color-ed ones and not those red ones..

We went pasir ris farm today and spent almost 5 hours there.
And finally, we decided on this!

Hello, my name is Muffin and i am 2 mths old now.. My daddy mommy says i look like teddy bear..

So tiny!! so cute!!

My Bdae falls on the 26th July, just one day before mommy's.. Daddy promised to buy me a doggie muffin on my bdae every year!

I am lucky to have such an awesome daddy..

This is my teddy bear i bought from SIA when i went to melbourne last mth.. Do they look alike??

i am so happy!
A pity i cannot bring him home now as he still needs 2nd vaccination and since we r leaving for taiwan for 11 days nx fri so its better to put under the care of the expert. But i will visit him everyday from tmr as i miss him so much!!

I have the bestest best bf in this world. My bf loves big dogs like border collie, husky and golden retriever.. but because he knows i love small puppies so much he also gave in to me and bought muffin for me..
I have a bf who gives in to me always.. always..
i have a bf whom never fails to be there for me.. never..
i have a bf who supports me in whatever i say i want.. everything..
i have this bf whom had never ever raised his voice at me, never quarreled with me before even if im unreasonable at times.
i have this bf whom is possessive and protective over me.. whom does everything with me.. whom brings me everywhere he goes.. whom respect me as his one and only love.
He makes me know how its like to be loved, like never before..
He makes me stand up again after losing confidence in love.
He makes me know how easy a relationship can be with trust and transparency.
He makes me feel important, that i am still pretty when im having bad hair/skin days..
He makes me feel secure and he praises me to his friends and family..
Hes the one who brought me out of my meaningless life.
He's the best i could ever ask for.
He's the one i know i will spend the rest of my life with.
He's the one who make me feel that i had totally wasted many precious yrs of my life..

I have this love, this incredible love whom i will never ever do anything to ruin it. Its perfect.

Thank you bb, for everything..
Thank you god, for my family and my boy.

No doubt, i am a happy girl.

p/s: anyway, we will be getting either a goldie or border collie soon!! Maybe 4 mths later! Yippee!! Super happy!!

Thanks for loving me, respecting me, giving in to me always, cherishing me.

The best best one i can ever ask for, i ever had.

Muacks!

I can't believe i am 23 soon. People used to comment on my year of birth. They goes like : 1988?? So young! and it certainly feels so goooooood!

But now, its the 1990s! So long as you fall into 1980s category, we are old!

Still,
happy birthday to everybody!!

I went to Xiaxue's blog earlier on and i read her latest post on her sponsored trip to Hokkaido. I was never really into Japan.
When i was flying, i had been to Osaka, Tokyo and Fukuoka. Maybe it was quite a short stay each trip thus i didn't get to explore but there's not much interest as compared to Taiwan or Hongkong back then though i have to admit i really adore Japanese food although i do not eat sashimi at all. I love ramen, sushis, SOBA, UNAGI, GREEN TEA ASUKI BEANS ICE CREAM DESSERT to list a few.
Ok, i love their amicable service too, its like they put in effort when they serve, there's passion really we can feel it! Even in supermarkets, i can see that many staffs take pride in their work, the pack-agings, their desserts, and they seem to always come out with ideas ahead of the world.

Talking about Japanese food, i got to try this japanese restaurant - Akashi, they have a few outlets mostly in town (Next to tanglin shopping center there's this hotel level 1, paragon and vivocity). The spider maki mini sushis and their califonia mini sushis are super yummeh! I love their white baits fish too and their unagi sushi! Makes me hungry....
Along with the yummeh food comes a pricey bill too. The food there is not really cheap but worth a go once in a while. Try it!

I love eating but i am not a clever eater as what many had said. I do not eat oysters/mussels/escargots, sashimis, foie gras, cavier, beef, lamb, blue cheese. But i do eat mostly higher grade chinese cuisine like shark's fin and bird nest (totally love this). One of my greatest wish is that i can just eat and never grow fat.
And i hope that i can blog about some good and bad food.
Had been really into brunches these days so i shall blog about experience with The White Rabbit, hatched, Food for thought, Imperior Treasure soon.
Ok, when i have the extra time!

Ok, back to topic, i feel like going to HOKKAIDO NOW! I just want to eat their homegrown food, it looks so yummy! I am a lazy traveler, super impatient and grouchy at times, so i need someone who really plans and takes care of everything.

Ok nuff said, need to earn more moolah first!

Special Day

2011-07-04T03:20:00.000-07:00

Hello ha!

While waiting for busy beeeee to knock off, here's some updates!

Whether or not anyone's even going to read this, i shall note down those fruitful events that worth remembering in my life!

On the 17th June is a very important date for my dearest daddy.
Seriously, never in my 20 over years of life will i imagine that my family will ever own a car!! I know to many its like no BIG deal or WTH? So what's so great about owning a damn car? I am born in this loving warm family, our family condition had always been average and to be honest, we seriously couldn't afford a car in the past. My dad's the sole breadwinner for many years till i was around secondary 4 before my mom went out to work long hours for peanut pay just because they were both not educated but still, we survived! and we did well all the way till now kor and i am already out in the workforce and greatly reduces daddy's burden for this family.
Its time we repay him.

Its really something to be PROUD of and something that i will always remember.

I recalled years ago when dad tried to study for his basic theory but nv passed because he basically cant read and cant write well, even for Chinese as he speaks cantonese so often. And he gave up. Because the motivation is not there, we do not own a car, so maybe the drive to own a license is not there. But i KNOW i had always knew that its one thing he really wish to own. All my relatives, regardless in the early stage, probably the whole adult life or maybe in the later part of their lives bought cars, changed cars but not us.

SO this year, my dad gave in his 100%. He stayed home after work almost everyday to read through the books. He called me every now and then and asked me what are those chinese charatcers and their meanings. I think he probably went through close to 100 times im not kidding..

so he went for his first basic test - he failed but he persisted and passed the second round.
and soon his 1st advance theory went smooth too, and he started his practical lessons, as early as 7am to as late as 9pm, he would take leave just to attend.
Within a month, he booked his test and HE PASSED!

Immediately, he went around to 'shop' for cars. He know nuts about cars and brandings, to him its the appearance that matter more than the reliability of the brand. Bee and my whole family cept my bro whose working went to toyota, nissan, hyundai and some second car dealers but before we even brought our dad there, he already decided somehow he wanted this Hyundai Elantra, its a 1.6 CC car.

No matter what we told him, about japanese brands being more reliable etc he just set his mind on that. And sincee he's the one driving, we went along with his decision. And on that day itself, we paid deposit. I know its INSANE to even THINK of buying a car now with the COE prices being so ridiculously high (almost the cost of the car itself) but dad say he's already 50 and he do not want to wait for another god knows how long, probably years for it to drop, we respected that too.

Of course, its another form of burden for us. For me too. But we will work hard towards our goal.

And one by one, i am realising my wishes.

Bee and i will be bringing dad and mom to MELBOURNE this coming august! Actually my wish is to have a family trip overseas with the whole family but i know its not gonna be easy with bro's orregular work shifts and with sis still schooling but i really really hope one day, one day it will come true.
We only went to Taiwan, Hk and Shenzhen so many years, more than 15 years ago once and the memory faded.. even before m sis was born and then we had nv taken aeroplane ever again together anymore.

Why do people slog? We slog for a better life in the future, we suffer for the fruits that we know we will receive if we endure. And to my dear papa, thank you all these years. When you were the only one working, we were studying and sis was only so young, your temper was horrible, really. I was scared of you and i avoided family times always, i was always in my room alone because for every little things we did wrong, is harsh scoldings and even beatings. Quarrels were pretty often between daddy and mommy too, all over the issue of $.

But gradually, all these became history.
My dad's temper is really good now. He's been more patient and he's really cute when we went together to receive our car, he was so excited. He called me and bee several times asking where to buy all the accessories that he sees my bee has, he wants them too. He brought along pineapple, fa gao, jasmine flower chain and some auspicious objects to hang in his car. yeah PINEAPPLE.. HAHA HUAT AR!!

And he repeated said this to me: 'papa 50 shui le cai you di yi liang che, then he smile like a small boy' that's enough.

I am not a very capable daughter, i am also not an ambitious woman, i do not look forward to earn big bucks and work long hours. But i promise for as long as its within my capacity to make them happy, i will.

And i thank bee for loving and accepting my family.

Maybe my life is not PERFECT now yet, but that's life. We are always working towards making those imperfect moments perfect someday. That's our drive and goals in life.

There's no perfect life in this world. Even the richest people on earth have their imperfect moments. Its whether we are willing to be contented, to settle for whatever we have. For we are DAMN lucky as compared to many.

Ok, my bee almost done and actually i have so much more to update about other events but well, next time i guess!

Its dinner time and maybe some shopping at IKEA?

Ciaos!

took leave to send bb to the airport for a short biz trip to brunei, backie tmr!
TGIF tmr!

I had been eating non stop god my appetite is huge these days! and unhealthy food is what i am thinking of all day long.. i think i'd contracted this chewing sickness.. i just love to chew love to munch non stop..!

watched 2 movies over the last long weekend, shiokness to the maximum..
Thor and Fast 5.. not too bad.. preferred Fast 5.
while booking tickets for Thor at about 8 plus p.m last sat after dinner with shawn's mommy and uncle wee, i went online to book via i-phone for a 9.50pm show at shaw NEX.. everywhere is selling fast if not sold out inclusing shaw NEX. so i asked bb if he wants the second row from the screen he took a look at the seatplan (which consist of only 5 rolls and 4 columns of 2 seaters each) and he said go ahead as he thought the cinema is small thus 2nd row is not too near.. when i keyed in everything and saw a total charge of $51 i had a shock and realised its Shaw Premier.. haha! silly us..

And thus, hu li hu tu de we get to enjoy once more! its quite good and affordable once in a while la.. and try the truffle fries, its awesome!! I love fries ~

Heavy downpour expected judging from the gloomy sky..

Bb is away to china for work this whole week till Friday..
He's been travelling quite a bit these days and on some occasions it was very impromptu, like he needs to fly the very next day upon receiving a call today.
We are working hard towards a better future.
Sometimes i have this fear, i know it may seem ridiculous and redundant but i cant help feeling this way more so after ongoing incidents like earthquake in Fukushima.. I want my loved ones to be close to me.
So pls, take good care and god bless everyone, no more disasters..

and there you go, its raining now...
and i miss bb....
im looking forward to fri to pick my silly bb from the airport..

Its a short week!!
Long weekend woohoo!! meeting Emily and Jean to redo my nails and dinner together with Larry on fri..
I have got cravings for Japanese food these days..

Oh and ya, last sunday was really a memorable day for the whole family.. I nv see this day coming and im so glad it did! and so soon.. no words can express how happy my dad is and congratulations to you, the most wonderful father and awesome husband to mommy.. if there's one thing i am most proud of, its got to be the perfect family i have.

And you came into my life, making it more perfect.

Revive!

Hello!

Missing for almost a year, lost the interest in blogging but here i am again, realising the need to note down interesting things happening in my life.

Too many to list from the period i went MIA.

First thing first,
Happy 15th Bdae to my sister, the baby in my family.
Bought an Iphone 4 along with a pink pretty cover for her after much anticipation.
Its wed its mommy's offday its a weekly gathering for family dinner and today its going to be kor's treat and we decided to patron Ju Shin Jung at ECP for their korean BBQ as my sis is very into K-POP recently.. I recalled when i was her age, i was VERY into celebreties too like David Backham, RAUL!, Cyndi and etc... even to the extent of buying their posters and CDS and any magazines with them in it even a small pathetic pic i would still buy! I see myself almost 10 yrs back in my sis. It's part of growth.

Life's been pretty good so far, well taken care of by my beloved bf and of course, vice versa.
Just celebrated our one memorable milestone last weekend.
The 2 days of indulgence means nothing more than just eating and splurging on spa and simply enjoying life to the maximum... I'm loving it!
