What a month it has been!

In a blink of an eye, february is gone but not forgotten. Cny was a blast , literally for me since I spent it with relatives and family in cold cold Beijing. Temperatures were as slow as -5 degrees Celsius. Tour was very educational which pretty much equates to BORING!

We visited the great wall, forbidden city, tiananmen square and a couple other old historical monuments. Out of 7 days spent, shopping only happened on my last day before heading to the airport. Besides the boring itinerary, food meals included in the tour package was horrible!
Naturally one would visit china with high expectations of quality Chinese cuisine, my tour actually had me missing cheese prata, local char kway teow, carrot cake, and a great deal of mummy’s cooking!

Though I’m back, away from the bitter cold country, the heat in Singapore got me missing Beijing’s weather instantly. Yes, Singapore is currently under one of the hottest weathers in it’s history. The grass downstairs have all turned dry and golden, and while walking around town with Leonard, we were lethargic from the heat.

Bary has been working for the entire month of feb. I sure hope that pathetic excuse of a company gives him a break soon. I’m really looking forward to our weekend together!

Anyhoo school starts tomorrow, Television Production module, by the ever so tai tai Proffessor Karlie. For my last module, comparative politics, I am happy to be able to pass with a B+. Mummy’s happy too knowing how clueless I was over current affairs.

I’ll be leaving to Oklahoma on 24th April and shall be returning on the 16th. It’ll be my first time traveling on my own. I’ve got the butterflies thinking about it… Halfway round the world without my parents… It’s gonna be one he’ll of a ride I guess.

One more thing, I’ve finally gotten rid of my old telco and Sony Ericsson, and am typing this message from my one week old iPhone, Glow B.

I AM SO LOVIN’ IT!!!

2010 January … so far so good..

Okay this post is an excuse for a mini-break from my study-time.

January had been quite eventful.

1st January was spent with family and relatives at a cousin’s revamped apartment. *Boring as hell… * And I discovered I was bleeding love then !

2nd January Bary treated the family to casuarina where my parents were in prata-heaven and so was I having fulfilled my week long craving for casuarina food.

3rd January was a yummy treat for my tummy at JPot steamboat at vivo city with the family and my aunts. As what my aunt claimed, Berd and I were “soup-high” after the feast.

Leonard and I have been going about town shopping for his new waredrobe for his new place. Yes indeed I’ve enjoyed the theraputic feel of shopping without me spending…. well ok I spent a little here and there

My BFF Alvin spent his last friday-holiday with me at Ion. Went on a quest for tea leaves after he got his Bodum tea set. then we spent the rest of the evening at TCC with our ”long-time-no-have” tea and cakes session.

Most recently, Berd had to cover the Singapore Tattoo Show 2010 at Expo, Bary and I got to accompany him and also get in on the fun and sights at the exhibition. We got to witness tattoo artists from all over the world, traditional tattooing, and the modern day ones.

  

 

   

I’m currently in my study break… the exam and deadline for assignment is on 30th Jan. Afterwhich I’ll be looking forward to an early Valentine’s Day with Bary, and also my CNY getaway to Beijing which is under heaps of snow now.. *I like*

Soon I’ll be left with the last module to clear in Singapore before I leave for Oklahoma. Gosh… what seemed so faraway is actually happening pretty soon. Till then, ciao !

November December at a glance

As I type, my keyboard feels creamy from my body butter last night. Amusing, I find.

Once again, we’re in the last month of 2009, how fast time passes I must say!
Weird that when we were younger, in our childhood days that is, our days seem longer, weeks felt like months, and months felt like years, I’d sometimes feel like two years have passed within a year alone.
When we were younger, we never knew how to love the way we do now, we never hated someone the way we do now, and everything was pure and simple, and transparent.

Crossing over to 2010 brings about feelings of fear and yet excitement, the anticipation of what’s in store next year when I graduated, yes, FINALLY after 22 years of being a full-time student, I am soon going to be a full-time working adult!
But then again, that grass that seem greener may not always be as pleasant as we think. I will be stepping into unchartered territory, with nothing but experience and the education on my back.
Wish me luck world!

On a lighter note, the year end also means a time for celebration! Yes, Christmas, New Year and boy, this year might just turn out to be one of the best year-end celebrations ever!Currently I’ve planned dinner gatherings for my boys and C9, and I am so looking forward to meeting them! I’ve missed them so much!

This week would be my last at Liang Court, school resumes on 14th December, next monday. It sucks, that we’re in holiday mood now, and we’re made to attend lessons, don’t the Americans celebrate Christmas and New year too??
I’m gonna miss working here. Why would I say that? Cos, after this week, it’s gonna be a considerable amount of time before I may or may not return again. I have been advised to widen my horizons, to be exposed to different forms of management, and methods in my area of interest, Advertising.
Perhaps I will take the advice.

Bary and I celebrated our 2- year anniversary just last month. I can’t express how amazed I am looking back and thinking how much we’ve gone through, how much has changed, and things that have not changed. I love him, there is by far, no one else out there who can love me unconditionally like he does.

Bernard’s aircon finally, after over 10 years of living in this house, leaked and failed last night. Poor boy slept with the fan on.. I did offer for him to sleepover my room with his sleeping bag.. How I wish my dad would be more proactive.. and not wait for things to break down before doing something about it.

Mummy’s definitely going through menopause. It has been quite obvious, through her emotions, temper, and impulsiveness. Just yesterday, she decided that she wants to cancel our cable telly subscription, and it all happened pretty fast, set-up boxes were unplugged, packed and returned to starhub. Not much of a loss to me as I barely watch TV, I get most of my ELLEN on youtube anyway.
But just this morning, poor bernard who was running late for work, was forced to wolf down a rice dumpling, by mummy. She gets fierce almost instantly these days.. I don’t know how this will go down in future.. Should we just leave her to be? She is aware of her actions and behavior, but at that very moment when it does happen, there’s no stopping her.

On to my friends, gurgly’s gone to the States, for her 3-week residency at OKCU. I’m looking forward to hearing or reading from her soon. I’m sure she’s having a ball of a time especially now when it’s winter!

Alright guess that pretty rounds up my life right now.

Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year to you all!
XOXO

Stupendous Weekend!

Can I just start off by saying Leona Lewis’s newest album Echo is so good? Yes, unlike her first album, Spirit, this one show another side of her, something fresher, and yet still, very Leona. Currently I’m digging, “I Got You”, it’s a good song to sing your heart out to.

So while the parents were away for the weekend last week, I spent my entire weekend with Bary and Vivocity. On Saturday we caught Humpday (which was so so so pointless and boring), following that we met Leonard for dinner. I’m thrilled Bary and Leonard got to meet, it’s been such a long time. The boys got on great!

Prior to the movie, we walked around the mall, and out of the corner from one of the guys from a pushcart approached me and got me over to his seat. He was selling hair stylers, curling irons, and straighteners. He did my hair, curls turned out great! Damage incurred from my wallet, $179. But it was definitely worth it! The curls lasted all day, and I tried it myself the following days before work.

    

(From Left to Right: Dude at pushcart did my whole hair after I decided I was gonna buy; First attempt in the morning before going to work; Second attempt 2 days later before going to work.)

Brand of Curling Iron: Jose Eber

Overall that weekend was stupendous Plus Bary got me my very own Haffalump !

With that, I’d like to end this entry by saying a big Thank You to my baby for being such a loving boyfriend. And congratulations on passing your Class 4 licence honey!

This wednesday we’ll be celebrating our 2 years together, I can’t wait!
