July 2010

It was July that I went back to Singapore to watch Jay Chou concert.

Strangely enough I have been questioning myself since when have I become a Jay Chou fan? You know, back were those days when I am all crazy about Backstreet Boys, Britney Spears etc. But Jay, I don’t think so!! I still remembered it was my ex that used to like him and I would actually buy his CD for him for his collection! But I just wasn’t interested in his music at all and to tell you the truth, I don’t think I even listened to his songs! And look at me now!! I could sing most of his songs and I would go crazy playing his songs at Kbox!

His concert was definitely one of the best I’ve been!! It was so good!! I cant wait to actually relive the moment and watch it again!!

And so since I was in Singapore, we celebrated Mike’s 30th at Sentosa.

We stayed at Siloso Beach Resort. I always wanted to go there ever since i saw some online photos of the place. It was not as good as i thought but oh well, the highlight was just the private jacuzzi bath tub on the upper floor of your room. Just something different from your usual hotel room you know? I'll leave the rest to your imagination. Haha.

And finally we went to the Universal Studios! It was pretty small seriously! But still we had a great time under the hot sun!

Best moment was seeing Shrek!

And who can forget going to the MBS?

I'm going to book a room there one day and that's for sure!!

June 2010

June was the month of the world cup fever, even “the family” went crazy gearing up and showing their every bit of support to the Socceroos.

Obviously they didn’t quite make it, but who cares? I was busy trying to support Argentina you see, but despite looking everywhere to find a jersey for myself that weekend, it was absolutely impossible to find one in Perth!

Also, Mike’s house is finally “liveable” after so long!

We started cooking dinner over there more often and spending more time in his extravagant home theatre.

ramen!

home made teriyaki skewers!

And what started off as camping over at his place became permanently moving in! Soon after, I bought my first ever piece of home appliance/electronic!!

The 40 inch Sony Bravia for the bedroom! And best of all, it came along with the PS3!! Strangely, I don’t even use the PS3! But watching the boyfriend played “God of War 3” on it was like the best thing ever!! I swear I’m going to make Mike buy the entire series and watch him play it!

2010-10-19T14:47:00.002+08:00

Oh gosh, i cannot believe it must have been a good 3 months that i have stop blogging!!!
Sorry for those that came back to my blog faithfully thinking i will be back with more recent blogs!!

All i can say is that it must have been the most tiring, emotion wreaking and busiest 3 months of my life!!

I must have been back and forth to Singapore so many times these months that i reckon i must be developing some sort of a DVT from my aching legs!! Once again a big sorry to those that i could not have catch up in Singapore, just like the saying, so near yet so far!

All i could say is that it is good to be back! Now that i got a little more time apart from moving the house hassle , doing the housework etc, i can finally have some free time to do some blogging!
So watch out for my back posts!!

Missed you guys too!!
xoxo

1:25 hrs

It has been a long long while since i've spoke to someone on the phone for that long!

Hang in there buddy!! I'm glad you shared your stories with me and i hope i did helped you in any way.

Sometimes some people tell you their problems not hoping for an answer, but just to be listened.
i think i heard you.

2010-06-08T23:09:00.005+08:00

Henry came back from Melbourne with these goodies!! Thanks you soooo much Henry!!!!! The delices are soooooooo YUMMY. Mike lost a bet to me so i had 4 pieces of them instead!!! Hahhaha. Drools!!

The delices are just sooooo good lah. Gotta try them to believe me!! It was last year in Melbourne that we tried it in Lindt cafe that we found this new love! haha.

At Lindt Cafe

Trying out the heavenly goodies.

Decided to take away some delices after the Lindt Cafe to enjoy it in the hotel again.

they are just sooooooo good!!!

It was sooo good that we decided to take away some for the plane ride home too!!! Mike enjoying his cup of hot Lindt chocolate during the winter cold.

The box of goodies.

Enjoying the very last bit of it on the plane.

Can we have a Lindt cafe in Perth already!!!!

2010-06-07T23:25:00.006+08:00

This is a no ordinary key!!

It's a key to Mike house and yesh he has given it to me!!! Jumps in joy!!! hahaha.

I suppose it's the same joy you get when you get a proposal just that he shoved the key to me instead with nothing on it. Well, you see i was expecting something more... Like maybe in a blue box with a ribbon on it. Hahaha. Or at least he could have put the key into the keychain that Jenny bought. But oh well, that's my typical boyfriend for you.

So last weekend we decided to camp over at his new place and boy it felt soooo goood!!! It's like a dream come true for me definitely. Building a house is not a easy task! It must have been close to a year since the building started. Seeing a piece of land transform from nothing to having walls around it and turning into a house with roof on it... it seriously felt like you were watching your child grow up!!

It started with a slab on the land.

Building materials arrived.

Walls are built.

The house is slowly taking shape.

The house is formed!!

Chosing the colours, designs etc is a headache!

Finally, my first sleepover on the super comfy bed!

First shower there.

And not forgetting hogging the whole basin to myself! LOl.

And of course making full use of Mike's huge walk-in wardrobe.

More about Mike's house next time and i cant wait to stay there again!!!!!!!

2010-06-07T00:38:00.004+08:00

J is back from her Europe trip and guess what she bought for me!!

A lovely keychain from LV. She must have gotten the idea from Mike as he is looking for a keychain for me to hold his housekey.

Hearts LV!!

Now the big problem is that i have way toooo many keychains that i have yet to use!!

Oroton keychain that i bought but refuses to give anyone because they are sooooo pretty!

the dior key pouch that i didnt use because i dont have that many keys!

Now, which to use!!

2010-06-04T23:51:00.002+08:00

USA anyone??

I'm thinking of planning a trip to USA next year. Would love to go to San Fransico and most prolly stay with my relatives over there and also not forgetting to visit Qiuwei in Pensacola, Florida and sightsee around there as well.

Anyone wanna join me??

2010-06-03T23:23:00.001+08:00

Knowing the truth always hurts doesnt it?
It's not that i'm not encouraging one to speak the truth here but mind you sometimes somethings is better kept unknown.

That's why people says ignorance is a bliss.

I know you didnt mean any harm or intention when you spoke those words. But somehow it reminded me of my past, of the time when someone said those words that hurted me and haunted me.

I'm sorry, it's my fault for being afraid of being hurt, for not wanting to believe you. And I dont seek your understanding, it's because i know it's my heart that i dont trust afterall.

2010-05-30T19:54:00.004+08:00

天亮了雨下了你走了
清楚了我爱的遗失了
落叶飘在湖面上睡着了
想要放放不掉泪在飘
你看看你看看不到
我假装过去不重要却发现自己办不到

说了再见才发现再也见不到
我不能就这样失去你的微笑
口红待在桌脚而你我找不到
若角色对调你说好不好

说了再见才发现再也见不到
能不能就这样忍着痛泪不掉
说好陪我到老永恒往哪里找
再次拥抱一分一秒都好

天亮了雨下了你走了
清楚了我爱的遗失了
落叶飘在湖面上睡着了
想要放放不掉泪在飘
你看看你看看不到
我假装过去不重要却发现自己办不到

说了再见才发现再也见不到
我不能就这样失去你的微笑
口红待在桌脚而你我找不到
若角色对调你说好不好

你的笑你的好脑海里一直在绕
我的手忘不了你手的温度
心碎了一地捡不回从前的心跳
伤心过去我无力逃跑

说再见才发现再也见不到
能不能就这样忍着痛泪不掉
说好陪我到老永恒往哪里找
再次拥抱一分一秒都好

They say music heals the soul.

How can someone ever wrote such beautiful words? It's so real and so close to my heart.

I have forgotten how long ago it was, but it always felt so recent, still so surreal.
Those were the days that passed. But still, it seems like i am living everyday in my that dream, that fairytale that i once believed that would come true. It's been so hard trying to break free from that fantasy, so hard trying to walk out of it everyday thinking that everything would be better..

I have tried not to regret, but it seems my biggest regret is knowing you.

2010-05-20T01:15:00.006+08:00

OH GOSH!!!
I havent heard a good song like this since forever!!!!!

I'm counting down to Jay Chou's concert already!!! Hope they will perform as his guest appearance or something in the concert!!!!

Screams in joy!!

2010-05-19T01:10:00.005+08:00

First was FISH and CHIPS in Freo.

Then, Japanese for dinner because i'm craving for TUNA (oh gosh still craving for more tuna now).

And of course, Ben's surprise 30th bday party!

I think i might have partied too hard till i'm sick now!!
Damn, i've got a cold again!!!!!!!

Aaaarrrghhh, i hate being sick!!!!!!

" One man's trash is another man's treasure".

I felt so bad after hearing these words from Mike last week. A part of me just feels like i want to be able to relate to him but the other part of me just cant seems to be able to think like him.

Call me a spolit brat, but i am changing for the better aint i? Feels like how we are brought up and the different society we are living in makes a huge gap in our lifes.

I would have never went to a car yard in Singapore. And the only time i would have went to a car "showroom" would be when my brother wants to change a new car. So it was a bit of a shock when Mike brought me to the car "junk"/ auction when he is looking for a car. And i was totally rejecting him when he tried to sell me the idea of having a written-off car.

Because of the hail storms, many cars were written off by the insurance companys. So those cars you see here can acutally be purchase when they are put on auction. Depending on the damages of the cars and the types of cars, the cars can be auction from hundreds to like 10000 or more. And of course you have to pay for the repairs and stuffs before you can get the car checked and drive it on the road. Still, it can be a lot cheaper than buying a new car and some of the cars are not very badly damaged at all. But then again, cars are always cheaper here compared to Singapore.

BUT seriously, why would one wants to buy a trash? They might be cheap and that's it! No offence here, it's like will you get yourself a pet for free, only to discover that it might be sick , dirty etc...? i just cant understand it!

I suppose i never understood the bargains here in the first place. Guess i'm missing out on the treasures then!! But how is it treasures when it is off no value to me? Oh well, at least i'm trying to learnt that one man's trash can possibly be another man's treasure.

I plead guilty of my pride and greed!!

2010-05-09T01:45:00.003+08:00

Happy Mum's Day to all the Mums out there!!!

I have not forgotten about you Mum!! Feels so bad sometimes that i am not there with you to spend more time with you and to take care of you. Please forgive me.

Missing you alot!!

xoxo,

Ever since we equipped Mike’s kitchen with all the utensils, we had been spending quite a bit of our time over at his place cooking and cleaning. To be honest with you, I am really impressed with what we can prepare and cook for dinner and they taste sooo good too!

Delighted with our cooking skills, we decided to invite Henry over for dinner one night!
Thanks for the wine Henry, it was yummy!!

(inserts another photo of Henry and the food which i am pretty sure Henry must have deleted off my camera. hahaha)

Oh yea,The chicken karrage dish is so easy to cook and tastes soooo good that I got to share the recipe with you all!!

(i've used pork instead of chicken in this photo, that's why it looks abit odd for a karrage. haha)

Chicken meat 250grams
1 teaspoons grated ginger
2 teaspoons grated garlic
2 teaspoons grated onion
2 teaspoons soy sauce
2 teaspoons cooking sake
2 tablespoons potato starch
Dash of pepper and salt

Enjoy!!!!

2010-05-05T23:03:00.005+08:00

A few days ago, I came across this piece of news:

18 year-old leaped to her death this morning at Ang Mo Kio Ave 3. Allegedly heartbroken from a relationship that didn't work out, she decided there's nothing worth living for. It's painful to leave this world with regrets, more so, with a broken heart.

It seems like committing suicide is not surprising anymore or should I say “a norm” in our modern society. Everyone seems to forget to live or forget how to live in this stressful and demanding environment.
What caught my attention was not because I know that girl or the fact that she passed away in my neighbourhood, but I feel that I could somehow relate to her doings. Truth is we are not her and we won't know the real truth behind her passing away, and who are we to even judge her doings and sympathize her and her close ones?

Who has not been broken hearted before? Who has not had failed relationships? Who has not have things worked out on them before? Who has not gives up all their love to realise it became nothing in the end? Who has not felt so horrible that they wanted to give up everything too and think that maybe nothing is worth living for? Who has not had regrets?

I believe everyone would have gone through some of these at some point of their lives. To tell you the truth, I was once feeling like that and here is my story

The 4 years in high school is the best and also the worst feelings of my life.

I was in a state of euphoria initially, from knowing a whole new bunch of girl friends to forming our own little clique gossiping about people in school and not forgetting the attentions you get from the boys! It was then that I got to know my first boyfriend and all the other guys that eventually became my ex, to learnt all about this thing called love, and to slowly begin to learn how to love someone back, to experience the butterflies in your tummy when you are near the person you loved, have my first kiss in a different way from what I had always dreamed of, to experience physical intimacy with the opposite sex, to actually believed that love is more important than anything else, and to start lying to my parents when I go on dates and of all, to be defiance towards them just for the sake of my love. It was also then that I got abused, backstabbed, betrayed, left broken hearted and left hanging there on a thin line, so many times that I felt so frustrated, so hopeless, so disappointed and lost and wondered where all my true friends have gone to.

Suddenly I realise I was struggling to survive in this cruel reality with my naïve and gullible thoughts. Falling in love is easy, but no one has ever taught you the lessons in building a relationship and mending your own broken heart after! Soon I was drowning in my boyfriend so-
called love.

I began to lose myself my own identify and slowly I became more and more terrified of his love for me. There was no one to help me and so many times I wished I could have told my parents but I know that was just asking for a bashing. I was at my wits end basically at that point of time trying to find a way to break free. And so many times I have actually thought about ending my life because, well it seems to be the only way possible to break free from these pain. It was so painful that I even tried to cut my wrist to realise that the physical pain I get is nothing compared to the pain I get in my heart. There was so many times that I went up to the highest level of the flat and almost wanted to leap out when the argument never stopped. But I guess I never found the courage to do that. Thankfully, that all came to an end eventually.

I remain sceptical towards love until I was dumped in a relationship. The fact was I didn’t tried hard enough during the relationship and when I realised that the boat had walked away from me, I tried all my very best to save it only to realised that it was all too late now. I became such a wreck. I was doing everything I could and even till a point that I realised that I was annoying him more than anything else. But the thought of us breaking up was just too much for me to handle. I began to live in a daze, skip meals and tears would just roll down my face like I have no control over them.

It was then that I slowly began to walk out of the shadow and learnt to face my mistakes and start a new life. And here I am now giving myself a pat on a shoulder for not giving up on myself. Those were painful memories but if not for them, I would not have become who I am now.

I believe there are always ups and downs in life.
Just hold on tight enough and soon you will see your kind of rainbow! Nothing can wake a dead up now, but I guess we can always learnt from her story. Thanks you for making me realise how vulnerable one is and how short life is for some.

2010-04-21T01:02:00.004+08:00

It was dawn when i went to work and the sky was dark when i came back home!!!

It was a really misty morning thou.. winter are you here yet!?

As we were short of staffs due to some last minute reasons, i was offered to do a double shift and i am not complaining because... OMFG, THEY PAY YOU SOOOO WELL FOR OVERTIME RATE!! And that moolahs is obviously going to Jay Chou's concert ticket yayy!!! Just hope i dont get tax too much, haha.. Just seems stupid to me that the more you earn the more tax you need to pay. Like in my situation, i would be better off next time cutting down my working hours maybe do like a 4 days a week instead and get paid the same as what i would get now doing 5 days! Because as nurses over here get pay increment every year, so the more you get paid the more money you get taxed and therefore you bring home lesser money!!!

So i've managed to survive my 14hours at work. Felt so dirty after work man! hahaha.

And best of all, i've decided to do my flu jab today and man it sting like a bitch!!!

My left hand is pretty much dead now!! OMG, my deltoid muscle is aching and sore like hell!! It's seriously the worst injection i've ever gotten!! Gosh, i'm certainly not looking forward to any injection for now! Oh no did i hear chicken pox vaccine?

2010-04-14T18:44:00.003+08:00

Hello world,

just woke up from my dreams.

Damn night shift tonight. I'm dreading it already.

But at least i had a rather productive night yesterday trying to stay awake eating oats and doing some nerding.

YUMS, I LOVE OATS. hahaha.

oh yea

Did i tell you Jay Chou is having a concert in Singapore on July?

Guess what, we've got the tickets already!!

See you guys in Singapore during July!!!!!!

2010-04-06T23:07:00.003+08:00

Hope you guys had a great Easter break and of course did you get punked on April Fools Day?

Hahaha.

Well, i woke up to this lovely surprise from the sisters!

But guess what, i'm not cleaning up the mess! hahaa.

So yesh i've seen a dermatologist last week and got my diagnosis- Pityriasis Rosea which is pretty much triggered from my throat infection. Nothing too serious, just that it is going to take a while before the spots goes away. What a big scare thinking that i might have chicken pox! At least i'm finally back to work after 2 weeks of break!! And i have just discovered that Daniel is actually having chicken pox right now!! What a small world!!

Oh well, i feel for you my friend.. Hope you get well soon!!!

PS: you can have my new nickname- SPOTTY!!

2010-03-31T03:34:00.005+08:00

So here i am at 3 in the morning trying to find something to blog because i cant get to sleep.

And nope it is not because i'm a chronic insomnia!!

I guess i just find it really hard trying to sleep when one is having too much things in the mind- which is usually when one is at their weakest moment and of course being alone in the middle of the night doesnt help at all.

So what's my problem?

To be honest, i dont know as well. I am so frustated from waiting for my answer. Hated the agony of waiting to find out what is wrong and wondering what the hell is wrong with me!!

The truth is, i have been off sick from work for a week already.

Well, princess me with the princess skin has got like random red spots over my body. Ironically, the spots aint itchy at all. I know i should be glad about it or even thanks god for it, but the problem is that i do have like skin allergy problems in the past and this makes it really different from before!! Did i tell you my skin will be allergic to plastic bags? hahah. Princess skin i know.. Therefore it's a headache wondering if it's a reaction to something or a viral infection from the cold i had before.

some of the spots on the leg.

for now, solugel is my best friend. Princess's skin cant afford to have scars! lol.

And even 2 blood test ruled out and double confirm that i am not having chicken pox(which makes me a lil worried now that i wonder when i will get it then).

Seen 2 Gps already to give me a second opinion just to be kiasu. But yet none of them could give me a definite answer despite spenting so much on them. At this point i could tell you i really hate their health care system over here for me now! I mean it's so hard to see a GP already and i wont even want to try thinking about seeing a specialist on an Easter long weekend!!
If only i am back home, i would have admitted myself to TTSH hahaha. And seriously, i can tell you it's only when one is sick and needed some love and care that one will misses home alot and wishes the parents could take care of her and attend to her.

Thankfully, my hospital's infection control department has been such a huge help that they decided to put me off another week. So yayyy, that's 2 weeks bonus break for me even though i know i am perfectly fit to go back to work. Well they are just trying to protect my rash from being infected again in the ward. At least it's nice of them trying to figure out what is wrong with me. haha. Getting the pathologist to do swabs on me and test me out under the instruction of their microbiologist and even offered the mirco dr to see me. Oh well, what a scene man!! Just cant wait to get it over and done with!

PS:
Pray for me that i will get better and yayyyy now what am i gonna do till next week?

Alright guess i should sleep already!

2010-03-29T23:45:00.003+08:00

Me and Kel decided to take a stroll around our neighbourhood after the storm.

(Yesh i know i'm a bit late for this post but that doesnt matter. haha.)

Cant imagine how much damage the storm has done! (Considering that our area was not badly affected in the first place and there were worst in some places).

That image in my head is something that i will most probably remember for the rest of my life.

From the moment we stepped outside our house and seeing our front garden... It's like that particular bushes and plants isnt on that usual spot anymore and the whole lawn looked so empty now.

That walk on our usual path to the local deli was so different as well.
Walking past the streets with debris everywhere, seeing some of the neighbours' garden in destruction and the cars that have being hit by the hail with so many dents on them, families chatting at the front lawn about the storm that has happened and the dads chopping up the fallen trees, repairing the fences that have been damaged.

Woah, one thing i did learnt is to never underestimate mother nature's power!
Well i mean, Singapore is fortunate enough not to have any natural disaster at all. It's just an incredible feeling to know that you have survived a storm unharmed and the sense of righteous to rebuild your community or to help those that is hurt is just so strong! It's like before i can never relate to those people that you watch in front of the tv being affected by like the tsunami, earthquakes, bushfires etc. You kind of just take pity on them and pray in your heart that you are so fortunate compared to others. But now i know what an ordeal it must have been for them to go through and rebuild their lives.

Dont you think we humans are indeed just so vulnerable??
I guess it's time to reflect on ourselves and rethink through our priorty in life.
After all, what's the point of these greed and wealth and the never ending social status and power in this materalistic world when who knows, we might not even survive the next disaster??
Time to seek peace and harmony in this troubled enough world already i reckon!!

WORLD PEACE!!!

2010-03-23T23:10:00.003+08:00

Hails to all the scientists who discovered electricity!!!

As you might heard, Perth has been struck by a devastating storm.

Thanks god i was at home when it all happened.
But it was definitely one of the scariest experience in my life when i was out at the patio trying to clean up the mess the rain did.

i have never seen that much lightning and experience that huge gushing wind and heavy downpour in my life before!!!!!

It was only through this morning newspaper did i saw how huge the hailstones was ( golf-sized), and the floods and landslide.

And i thought we were the only one badly affected without power supply for a day!! haha.

Seriously it was the longest blackout i ever experienced.

24hours man!!!!!!

And we even bought extra candles thinking that the power might not be back till tomorrow.

But guess not anymore, i am online!!!! hahaha.

Cant tell you how great it felt to have power back in your life!!!

All the things you can do with it:

Charge all your electrical appliances to full batt.

watch the tv.

listen to your favourite songs on your laptop and PPStream as much.

cook the rice.

use the microwave to make your favourite cup of tea.

turn the lights on to see what you doing and of course to have them on in the bathroom.

turn the aircon on.

wash your clothes with the washing machine.

use the fridge and freezer to keep things cold.

dont have to manually use all your life energy to pull the garage door open.
and of course be online and use the phone!!!!!

Yayyy for electricity!!!!!!

2010-03-17T20:59:00.002+08:00

You dont usually see me blog about my relationship because i wonder what's the point?
You know when everyone is different and everyone has their own side to things.
Importantly, you can never understand how I feel and imagine what I have went through.
So it makes it really hard to be understood and communicate sometimes.

But you know what, i am really struggling to be heard now.
Sighz.

2010-03-11T01:37:00.005+08:00

What lies beneath? hahaha.

It's really shocking sometimes what you find under your bed! Hahah.
The good thing is i have finally cleaned my mess in my room!

Have been a busy week back at work and catching up with the girls.

Finally meet my grad and OMG, can't believed they have so much paper works to complete compared to my graduate year. It's giving me a hard time trying to finish off her paper work! haha.

So much work to do at work this year, Quality portfolio holder, coordinator courses and Yayyyy finishing off my 3rd year graduate programe!! Not to mention trying to find time to finish off at least 1 quality project, having a grad for 6 months and yesh doing all the paperwork and also the countless students that are following you!! Omg i dont think i would even want to try to think about furthering my studies for now!!

So yesh, looking back i think i have achieved a lil step in my career.

I always felt that 3 years into a job is a best time to reflect on yourself and think about your future and of course seek for better job opportunities and job satisifation. It is like putting your very first benchmark on something!!

And so far i guess the one absolute thing that i love about my job is the socialising circle!! Well, office politics are unavoidable, but it still cant beat the feeling of going to work and hugging your best mates and of course slacking off work to catch up!!
The truth is that well i was feeling really run down when i came back to Perth from Singapore. The thought of me having another 2 days off after my return sounds like a bliss but i did not enjoy any part of it. It was only when i returned to work and OMG, it was so good to be back! Back to the ward where you are welcomed back like a superstar (ok, abit too much here! haha), but yesh it felt really warm in the heart!

Me and the girls went to yum cha last week:

You know, there might come a day when they are no longer my working collegues (it seems like there is a huge trend in staffs leaving our ward one after another!) but i think they have already left a place in my heart. It seems like finally after my 3rd year here, i am able to treat this place like a home, a place where i know i have people that cared for me, shelter me and support me.

But of course i still miss my homies in Singapore lah!!!!!

OMG, we should so celebrate our decade-long friendship!!!! Cheers!!!

I reckon the joy in life, lies with the enjoyment of the simplest things- Food!!

Seriously, it felt like this whole trip back to Singapore is about eating and eating and MORE EATING! Haha.

So 3 weeks in Singapore is gone just like that!! Time is definitely flying when you are having fun! Sorry once again to those that I did not meet and those that I haven’t got enough time to meet you guys more! Blame me for being selfish, but this time round I just want to spend more time with my family. Please do understand alright!

Alright, so I finally got to spend CNY with my family after being away for 3 years. So I was definitely looking forward to it! Can you imagine, I don’t have to listen to a word of Hakka, no one playing Jirami, no Brunei club?! Hahaha. But hey, I did think about Mike’s mum spring rolls and laska! Hahaa.

Spend my reunion dinner over at my aunt’s place and I welcomed CNY at KBOX with my most favourite people. Too bad BQ cant join us as he is away in JB.

our reunion dinner.

And then Mike joined me during the last week!

having our family steamboat at my bro's place. omg, had enough of crabmeat!

went over to JB the next day with my bro and Kris.

later at night we went over to the river hong bao.

tiger year roarrrrrrr!

Strangely, i always hated river hong bao as my dad always bring us there to take photos when we are kids. Guess it explains why i'm sooo over it now. hahaha.

Was suppose to go to Mr Khoo's house on the 21st feb to catch up with the rest of the SLs. But because my uncle decided to hold a last minute lunch at his place, so i missed catching up with Sky and the rest. Sorry!!!

My mum's family.

Had porridge buffet. Seriously, the cheapest ingredients are the most yummiest food! hahaa.

Horray, i finally went to the marina barrage!

Went over to Sentosa as well to see the Resort world casino. Sadly to say, i want the old Sentosa back!!! It's like Sentosa is changing soooo much!!! And i dont like changes!! hahaha.

the casino entrance.

i will take more photos when it is open!!!

We went to the Science Centre and caught the Bodyworks exhibition while waiting for Vanessa and Chris to show up for dinner.

Cant believe there is a buffet at the Omni theatre!! haha. It was yummy thou!!

Meet up with Vanessa and Chris.

invited the girls over for dinner. hahaha, was so tired from preparing the dinner that i forgot to take photos... pic are from aina.

and that marks my trip!

oh well, sad to say i miss the place for sure!!!

But.. till then.. i am pretty sure we will see each other soon!!

2010-03-05T20:19:00.003+08:00

I'm back in Perth for nearly a week already.

Dont you dare ask me how i am feeling bacause no one will ever understand what i am going through and let alone help me.

My emotions are struggling but i guess i am still coping very well with my denial.

So anyway, pardon me for not blogging.I havent even got time to clean my room yet. Gayyy shit! hahaha. i need a maid!!

i'll blog about my trip back to Singapore again. Thanks again everyone for meeting up and SORRRY for those that i've missed!!

And oh yea,

2010-02-11T23:52:00.007+08:00

Finally met up with the guys from BPS yesterday.
Thanks for the ride BaoQiang!

Did some expensive shopping with BQ first at Orchard. Man, Orchard has changed sooooooo much since the last time i was here! Thanks god there was BQ who kept telling me the directions haha!

finger food! yums!!

oh this ice kacang is really good! haha.

Camera shy BQ.

After that we met up Kanyi at East Coast Park for dinner.

Followed by prawning with Wenbin and Sheryl later! This time we are no longer a noob!!!!!! hahaha. Managed to catch 5 prawns within the hour!! Horray! But guess what, we were too busy chatting and drinking red wine that we totally forgot about BBQing the prawns! haha. Better luck next time!! It was sure fun to catch the prawns!! Maybe next time i'll bring my own equipments there- like the gloves, pilers etc. hahaha. Because none of us actually dared to touch the prawns and get it off the hook. Oh well, You are the hero BQ!! hahaha.

the most expensive BYO wine man!!!

THE FIRST PRAWN I EVER CAUGHT!!!

Gotta take more photos!! hahaha.

our catch of the day!! One of them is massive huge!!

2010-02-09T22:02:00.007+08:00

Hasn't been doing much since i've landed in Singapore.

Weather's too hot and humid and the outside is too crowded with people.

hahaha.

Just thought i will be a good daughter and stay at home for once and spend time with my family!

So finally i got a chance to clean up my room and tidy up my mess!

some things just got to go!

and that includes things that doesnt mean anything anymore too.

Cant believed i still had mountain full of cards, letter, photos etc from primary school to high school! It was sure good fun digging them out and reading them again!

that's alot of cards!

i was once a popcorn!!!!

and i have friends like nuts, hotdog etc. hahaha!!

And of course, i haven't stop eating! hahaha.

yong taw foo yums!!!!

chicken rice yums!!

oysters egg omelette, a must eat!!

nasi lemak!!!! yums!

and of course coffee bean!!!!!

This trip is sure fattening!! hahaha.

lastly!!!!

omg, Jodie is mad cute!!!

2010-02-08T12:41:00.005+08:00

Saying a big HI to you guys from Singapore!!!!!!!

Yesh, i've arrived safely in Spore after a series of unfortunate events i should say.

Well, it may seems coincident but trust me i have never had that much happening things happened in my life before!!

So on the morning before i flew, we went out to get Mike's new fridge for his house.

On our way there, i slipped and fell on my butt.

And then we witnessed a car accident. Like OMG, saw the car beat the red lights and smashed right to the truck. Seriously it scared the hell out of me seeing the windows smashed and the airbag blown. OMG, thanks god she is fine.

And then on our way back, the freeway was jammed and yesh there was another car accident.

At that point of time, i seriously think it's not a good idea to fly. haha.

Just when i was about to leave my house for the airport, i realised that my luggage bag lock was damaged!! Like wtf! I was seriously like cursing and swearing already! hahaha.

Went over to the airport and to my horror i saw someone i least expected to meet!!!Thanks god that person did not board the plane. But guess what, my flight was delayed for 2 hours!!!!!!

So i didnt arrived in Spore till later in the morning. And wtf, when i collected my baggage. One of my bag is damaged. Gay shit.

Oh well, whatever it is. I am glad to be back home, back in the humid sunny island.

Cant believed how much has changed since my last trip.

But still, there are things that are always so close to my heart, that always stayed the same and made me felt like i have never left before!

ban mian!

oh so cute jodie!!

another pic of her. heheheh sooo cute!!

Well, sometimes i wish some things could be different.

Like seriously isnt it time for Singaporeans be less kiasu??

Everywhere i go i seems to be greeted with qeunes of people. It's like omg, even when you buy a meal you get feebies!!

Seriously........... Such a turn off!

2010-02-01T23:36:00.004+08:00

Look what Mike did to me!!!!!!!!

haha.

Was over at the bf's new house helping him mop and wipe the floor. Did i tell you that his house is almost done? You could look at the building status here.

And man, his living area itself is MASSIVE already..... took us like 2 hours to wipe it spotless!!!

Gosh i am so tired now.

That's why i reckon if i am buying a propety, i would buy an apartment instead! hahha.

Damn, now the knees looks so ugly being bruised from all the kneeing down to clean the floor. Sob!

2010-01-30T23:52:00.005+08:00

I came home with this loot yesterday!

And nope, i didnt get the bag i wanted!! Haha. What a shame!!

Anyway since i'm going back soon, i thought i might just buy something that Singapore doesnt have. Then again, what does Perth have that Singapore doesnt have? Well i seriously dont think Singapore is lacking anything (besides my mum wanting me to buy gladwraps back), i guess i'll be bringing more things back to Perth compared to bringing things back to Singapore.

So you know it's like if you go over to Sydney you will and must buy Krispy Kreme back home? I guess in a way i think Oroton is the expensive doughnut here, just that maybe not much people even heard of it.

And guess what, this time next week i'll be boarding my plane flying back to Singapore, back to my home, back to where i belong...

So it's about time to do some exercise and lose some weights to gain them back in Singapore!!

Going to skip all the fats away!!!!!!!!

7 days to go!!!!!!

2010-01-28T17:03:00.004+08:00

When i was in city last week, i couldnt help myself but did some shopping.

What a big mistake it was that i went to have a look at the Oroton shop.

And damnnnn, now i couldnt get my eyes off the Maison Tote.

Ok, maybe it's not the first time i actually felt so impulsive over a bag.

But i cant help but think that it's really so pretty and it's like PERFECT!! A tote and a sling bag!!!

ARRRRGGGHHHH. What else can you ask for? hahaha.

So should i spend that AUD695 on that bag?? Or save it till i get back to Singapore.

Sigh.

Tough shit to be a woman alright!! hahaa.

2010-01-26T19:26:00.003+08:00

The 26th of Jan is Australia Day.

Every year my biggest wish is to go down to the Perth's foreshore to watch the Lotto sky firework.

On my first year here, i was totally unaware of it as i came during feburary. And seriously, i have no clue what the hell Australia Day was.

Then came my second year when oh, i found out about it and was so determined to catch the firework when i saw Mike's previous lotto sky firework photos. But damn it, i was in Singapore.

And best of all, 26th of Jan falls on CNY last year... So i have no company at all to watch the firework besides the TV!

And guess what,

this year i am stuck at home because i am doing night shift later. GAY SHIT!!

Cant i just catch a firework for once???

It has been ages since i saw one!!!

Oh there was this really random one a few months ago when we were at Kings Park taking photos when some how there was a mini firework display.

But that doesnt count damn it!!

Anyway, Happy Australia Day!

Not like i care about it or celebrate it anyway =)

2010-01-25T12:33:00.003+08:00

Nothing much to blog about besides the fact that the weather has been f-ing HOT.
Seems like a punishment to be at home without the aircooler on.
Gosh, wonder where that Singaporean part of me fighting the humid weather 24/7 for over 20 years of my life went to??
Anyway, cant wait for summer to be over. bleh.. Tan what tan? Who needs a tan anyway? haha.

Counting down to Spore already!!! hoorayyy!!!

I've already got a to do list planned:
Now all I need is company and time!! hehhe.

1) Shopping! Ion, Orchard Central... any other new shopping centres? Shopping kaki anyone? Since QW is away in USA, i need a replacement badly!!

2) Sentosa IR... What, there is victoria secret, jimmy choo?!? Gosh, i think i really need a tour guide instead!! Any volunteer?? heheh.

3) Eat eat eat!!! Any good recommendation?

4) Need to sort out my CPF.

5) Get a new credit card. Any suggestion??

6) Relax and chill.. Any new bars??

7) Catch up with friends. Yesh, i'm free for a date! Find me out!! hahaha.

8) Do some sports. hahaa.

9) Manicure, pediacure, lash extentions...

10) Go to church. LOL.

2010-01-16T00:14:00.005+08:00

I bet eveyone must have been on photo shoots before!

And betcha must be thinking the photographers are giving you a damn hard time trying to make you do some straining poses and blah blah blah.

But guess what, i think the photographers are the one having the real headache here!

And worst still, the photographer's assistant is the most pitiful one at the end of the day from doing all the hard labour. ahahaha. (ahem, i have to like pull some branches off the trees, carry the bags and camera, hold the umbrella etc- sounds like a jungle combat okie!!) hahaha

So yeah, it was an eye opener to tag along Henry's photo shoot.

Of course i got to thanks Henry's Bro, Victor who is a professional photographer himself teaching me all the tricks of the job. I am seriously impressed!!! And of course to Henry as well, hehehe for tagging along! Keep the passion alive ok, no matter under what circumstances!! hehehe.

I've definately learnt alot today!!

From the use of the umbrella, flash meter, and oh yeaa reflectors!! And how he cast the shadow away, chose the shots etc and posing the model etc.

Gosh, i am soooooooo inspired to be a damn kickass photographer one day!!!

Alright, i wont be posing the model photos as it is Henry's job. hahaha. Just to keep myself legally safe alright!

But here are some behind the scene shots!!

(I will apologize to the model first because i have to hide her face in the photos! Sorry!!!)

Yesh, this is an umbrella-ella-eh eh.. hahaha

Photographers in action.

Model and Photographer..

Photographer working hard in action, ok lah, at this point i also pity the model as she has to be on the dirty grass and get dirty etc...

My best shot of the day from my camera. You know why, because half the time Henry was blocking my view.. lol, so i ended up talking to his brother instead.. hahaha.

Watch out for me people!!! I'm gonna kick some arse soon!!!!!!!! Weeeeeeeee!!!

ps: henry.. i want the umbrella!! hahahaa.

2010-01-15T02:09:00.004+08:00

I going for my first ever photo shoot later!!! Excited!!!!
And guess what, i'm not even the model. LOL.

Well Henry is doing a photo shoot with a model for their portfolio so i'm going to tag along since i am so free! haha.

Guess it will be interesting to see what gadgets Henry is going to use and how the photos are taken. Hopefully those photos will turn out just like those photo spread you see on Elle magazine etc. Hehehe.

Looking forward working with them!! Or should i say, disturbing them!!! Hahaha, WATCH OUT PEOPLE!! HERE I COME!!

Borrowed the camera bag from the bf since mine's too small! haha, it's all about being professional!

borrowed mike's len as well.. cant make my camera look toooo bad beside Henry's!!

Outdoor must have!!! Sunnies, sunscreen, insect repellent and mist spray. Just minus the umbrella!! haha. Talking about survival here alright!!!

Got to learn some skills and copy them down from the master!! I'm serious about learning here ok!

Plan B- if above fails, i'll just point and shoot! hahaha.

May i come back a little wit wiser!!!

2010-01-13T23:57:00.002+08:00

A surprise mail was delivered today!! (ok lah, maybe not that of a surprise since i knew about the mail weeks before, but then to open up the mail and to find out what is inside it was the big surprise lah!)

It's just unbelievable when i opened up the mail to discover that he wrote a message on our high school foolscap paper!!

Oh man, that is such a classic!!! Just brought back so many memories of when we used that to write messages on it and passes them to each other during classes instead of using it to do our assignments!!

Thanks Sky!! That was such a surprise and thanks for the braclets!! Lovely!!

He was so cute to even give me a call just then and said, " I think you liked dolphins"

Hahaha.

Thanks anyway.. It's the thought that count! Thanks you!

Also,

PAY ATTENTION EVERYONE!!

I'm coming back on the 7th Feb till the 27th Feb 2010.

I'm available for catching up, going out, coffees, dates, shopping etc etc to spend my whole 3 weeks there!!

So who wanna show me around in Singapore now? hahaha.

Ps: Valentine day date anyone?? hahaha.

2010-01-10T23:39:00.004+08:00

Just a quick question- Is there really a Mr/Mrs Right for everyone?

Well, Val said something to me today which kept me thinking for awhile.

She was asking me if i still have any intention to go back to Singapore for good.

And of course my answer to her was i dont know, because as much as i want to go back to Singapore there is always a part of me that i dont want to leave behind in Perth.

So, she said something along the line that meant " Then you havent found enough reasons to make you want to stay here and give up everything back home."

In fact, she actually said "You have not found the right guy that will make you want to give up everything to be with him yet."

Somehow the only reasonable answer to that is this:

Don't let someone become a priority in your life, when you are just an option in their life... Relationships work best when they are balanced."

Anyway, last week was me and Mike's 2nd anniversary!

Time do past really quickly when you are having fun!!

We went over to Freo!

And yesh, i am really honest and proud here to say that Mike has been a really good bf so far! (oh gosh, and it's only the last couple of weeks that Mike managed to find out about my blog. haha. Not that i have anything to hide from him but he has never came to me and asked me about it even thou he knew that i had a blog long ago. So one day he randomly did a search on my user name on google and viola, he found me that easily! haha)

(ps: Hi Mike if you are reading this!!)

Even thou there might be like 20% of the time that i do bitch about our relationship but the other 80% of the time i still get over it and tell myself to cherish him.

Well you see, he's the bf i have never had before- He is simple, stable and predictable.

He's the sort of guy that live everyday as it comes and as much as i hope he can give me an answer for our future, the sense of security that he gives me is something i never experienced before.

And so i've learnt so much about him and from him. Without him i guess there wont be this Silvia now.

From the first day that i have met him as the geeky guy that sorted my lappie out to calming the wild party animal side of me down, turning me into a beeraholic, teaching me how to drive, telling me it's better to stay at home sometimes and save the money and spend less, seeing him trying his best to be my bf, take care of me when i'm sick and nag me in everyway to get me better, and many many more etc...

Gosh, it's amazing what a relationship can does to you hey!

Cheers to many more anniversary!!

2010-01-07T00:37:00.004+08:00

I am so mad happy today!!

Why- Because the postman decided to drop off my parcel which i have been waiting VERY IMPATIENTLY for a month!!!

Well, that parcel was sent from Singapore via registered airmail to me on 28/11/09.

And, hello... it's like the 6th of January 2010 today! (seriously, i gave up the hope of it turning up and even thought that it is lost.)

Gosh, god knows what happened during that period of time...

I was really annoyed and pissed off at like the 3rd week of waiting for my parcel to arrive, so i rang up Singpost to find out what happened and that !#$! operator i spoke to didnt even answered any of my queries and spent her bloody time telling me to fill up this form to start the investigation (which i already did) and ended the conversation!!! LIKE... OK, THAT'S A LOT OF HELP!! (roll my eyes, is that what singapore customer services standard is hey?)

So, fine... i rang up Au post instead and they could not even find the record to show that the parcel has arrive in the Au custom.

Anyway... end of arguement. No point to waste my breath on this again.

I'm just damn madly happy that it has finally arrive against all odds!!!

Lesson learnt: When there is hope , anything is possible even if it seems impossible!

The parcel is really important to me because i got my bro to get me some shirts from tawain.

each shirt is in their lil bag! cute!!!

that's the spirit- fever!

the love life charity tee.

Support outerspace too!!!

Visit http://www.outerspace.com.tw/ now!

In short, outerspace is a tawainese clothing label from one of the tawainese artist, Leo- Circus.

Just like Stage from Show.

But i guess what i like about outerspace is the touch of his attitude and fighting spirit that reflects on his brand - 大家一起來熱血吧!!

2010-01-05T12:02:00.004+08:00

So with the brand new year, i have been searching high and low to find myself a desk calender. Well you see, a nurse's roster is really hard for you to actually remembered when you work or not. hahaa.

And can you believe it, to my horror it's sooooooo hard to find one and people dont even give it out to you FOS like how it is back home!!!

AAAARGHHH, so i have to spend 20 bucks and buy it after a long search. (pull a face)

Anyway, here are my new year resolutions:

To stop cursing and swearing THAT MUCH.

Try to be HEALTHY and actually take care of myself so that the bf can have a break. haha.

Get 6 hours of sleep everyday. Try to sleep early if possible.

Get my P plate and buy a car.

If possible, move out and get a place myself.

Find a new hobby- Golf.

Get a social life. LOLx.

Earn more money, or should i say, start saving and spend less!

Holiday!

Be a better person. hahaha. Stop my complaining etc.

Alright, should be enough!
What about you?

2010-01-03T13:59:00.012+08:00

Happy New Year everyone!

I suppose it’s the time of the year again to sum up the year 2009 and reflect on myself and wonder what the hell 2010 has for me?

My 2009 year:

Every January would be something I would be looking forward to as simply because every 4th day into the New Year would be me and Mike’s anniversary! Cant believed we survived our first year together and gosh, the 2nd one is coming soon already!!

All i can say is thanks you my dear! Guess it's been a pretty hard year for you to go through all my ups and downs. hehee. And not forgetting pleasing me and giving me the very best of you (of course there is still room for improvement!). Till now i'm still really glad that i've chosen him , being in Perth, experiencing and leading a life i would never ever imagine i would in Singapore.

Celebrated Henry's 29th. OMG, old fart.
Did i tell you i'm so glad that we got along well? (sign of relieve)

Not forgetting it was an early Chinese New Year for us. Celebrated CNY along with Aussie Day, and of course i've missed my opportunity to catch the firework again (pull a long face).

Cant wait to get back to Singapore to have reunion dinner with my family. Oh my gosh, Kel's granny aka my aunty made the best dishes for CNY. Counting down!

February marked the survival of my first year of nursing over here! Definitely worth a toast of celebration I reckon! As far as it is concern, I guess I’m pretty much loving my job just minus my random whining of the patients and staffs to the poor bf. Hahaha. So yea, I would say I would still pretty much look forward to climbing up the career stairs.

Soon i'm finishing my 2nd year and going on to 3rd year already. Weee, looking forward to my increasing pay already! Hahaha.

And oh yea, poor Kel gets to be cannulated by me at home! Hahaa, thanks kel for the support! =)

and of course, it didnt work! hahaa.

Also about the same time we found out a piece of shocking news, Shihling is having a baby!

Went to watch my first musical of my life (I think), Phantom of the Opera with Jenny, Des and Henry. Oh gosh, did I tell you Chicago is coming to Perth!!

Wished the bf was there, but oh well... thanks Henry for the ride!

March was a fulfilling month I reckon.

Supported Henry in his world's greatest shave.

Started my latest fetish- Scrapbooking which is a flop I think since I haven’t done much about it still.

April is a holiday month!!
We went on a cruise and back to Singapore. This time i've got the comfortm of having Mike with me 24/7 as he is staying with me over at my bro's place. Thanks bro!

Also,

I pointed a gun at Mike's head and forced him to accompany me to watch Cats at the Esplande. haha. It was an awesome show just minus me trying to keep the bf awake. lOl.

Once in a lifetime splurge, we've actually went up the cable car to dine. How cool is that! It's not like everyday you get to eat on a cable car. haha. Oh gosh, now i want to try the sky dinning on the Singapore flyer. lol.

Celebrated James and Shirley church wedding- I think it was more like a plan to get Mike to go to the church. Haha.

May was exciting

I welcomed Bro and Kris over for a holiday!

Finally went to Busselton. omfg, of all times it has to be closed for renovation. gay shit.

God ma came over during June and it was Mac and Shiaw Ling’s wedding!

Nothing much special really happened during July besides Mike started building his house!

August we welcomed Lil baby boy of Shihling.

And of course I turned 23! (horror)

September is fun fun fun!

Home alone with mike!

We went to Araluen finally!!!!!

pretty flowers everywhere!!!

Went over to Melbourne.

Suifoon came over for a visit.

Catch up with my cousin and her lil one during October. So nice to have relatives around i reckon.

And then came November which is pretty much with nothing happening besides got told that Mike's going to Anthony's buck night which drove me mad. haha. And we celebrated Ben and Michelle's engagement party.

And finally December is about Parties!!!

Had sooo much fun doing Kel's party.

alicia and wendy's bday party.

Work xmas party was a blast having Mike around. Guess it's time to parade him around instead? haha.

and then came xmas party.

and new year eve party!

So that sums my 2009.

Guess it was alright. Seems like life is getting more boring with each passing year, or is it just a sign of getting old? hahaha.

Anyhow,

i wish for a brand new start in this new year.

You guys have a great year too!!

2009-12-30T13:44:00.009+08:00

Guess what are we doing? hehehe.

Me and Mike went to watch Avatar in 3D IMAX screen!!

The movie screen which is just about a slighty little bit bigger then your normal movie screen.

The movie was soooooo good minus the part that the glasses was so tight that i almost developed a terrible headache and my ass was so sore after!

Makes me wonder if we could have like Lord of the Rings in 3D? Or Harry Potter? Heehee. I would love it!

Oh, what about showing it in Omni-theater? Maybe i would catch it again in Omni-theater, but the last time i went there to watch Poseidon, i thought i was feeling seasick during the show!

Can you imagine watching it in Omni-theater?
It would be totally awesome!!!

Gosh, remind me of those days back in school when we had school excursion out to the Singapore Science Centre and the Omni-theater. Loved the HUGE theater and screen!!

Okok, enough said..
How was everyone xmas??

At Shiaw- Wee's place

Mine was rather.... quiet.. hahaha. Guess we are lacking the Xmas spirit around here! Or maybe i am the boring one! haha.

xmas pressie!!

more pandora!!

OMG, 2 more days to the new year!! How quick was that!!

2009-12-24T11:56:00.003+08:00

Finally all the last minute xmas shopping is done!!!
It's the time of the year to send all your love and warmth to everyone and exchange xmas pressie!!

the boyfriend's family share..

to my special him.

Hope you guys have a great Xmas and a wonderful new year ahead!!!

bleh... Will be joining in the party after work.

2009-12-16T23:56:00.003+08:00

9 more days to xmas!!!

Is the Xmas tree at your house beautifully decorated yet?

And are you guys done with the xmas shopping yet??

i have yet to finish my xmas shopping for everyone too!

Gosh i hate shopping for people, lol.. gives me a really bad headache deciding what to get for others. Especially!!!! In this case, when that thing you get for others is what you have your eyes on too and you are sooooo lucky to mange to buy the last piece before it goes OOS..

Big dilemna now, should you keep it and use it or give it away as a pressie??

oh gosh... what a joy doing xmas shopping i must say . (give a weird look)

And of all, Perth is not a shopping paradise at all... Pfft.

Hope i have better luck tomorrow and get done with the xmas shopping!!

2009-12-14T21:51:00.004+08:00

It was soooo much fun helping Kel organising her advanced 21st birthday party!!

Do you guys remember your 21st? haha.

For me, i wasnt really involved for my 21st birthday party because my uni friends threw me this surprise birthday party at their home and not forgetting the family did a webcam birthday cake cutting ceremony. Lolx. In a way i guess i was lucky as i dont have to clean up the mess and of course getting headaches from all the planning. And man, i dont even feel remorseful for it till now that i mention about it, haha, i should maybe had offered to help them cleaned the mess up or be really thanksful for their effort!!

I guess 21st is a pretty important year of everyone's life as it marks a new chapter in life really. So of course it's gonna be a blast!! It got to be an event that you better remembered for the rest of your life man!! hahaa. Because trust me, you do not really look forward to the rest of your birthday parties with each passing year! haaha.

So of course i cant say no to kel when she asked me for help, and boy it was like organising my child's birthday party! hahaha. From the house decor, doing the invite, cleaning up, cooking the party food were all done by us.

filling the balloons up with lil simmers in them, omg hard effort!

next is filling up the space with balloons, omg out of breath!

the outdoor party, HOT!

hope you enjoyed it kel!

And straight after, i went to Alicia's birthday party as well.

happy bday alicia and wendy!

the girls from work.

happy bday!!!

Omg, 12 more days to xmas!

I love every 4th of the month simply because it's me and mike's monthsary!

And we had made it a point that we'll go on a date on that date no matter what.

So on Friday, he brought me out for dinner to the C Restaurant - the revolving restaurant in city.

the view from the restaurant.

sun setting..

the sun blinding the eyes!!

Thanks alot Dar!

And the weekend was busy!! So many parties and so many beers!! I'm starting to feel like a real alcholic already!! Time to cut down on those booze!!!

Headed over to Mike's friend house for a birthday party.

Catch up with Henry again.

Still at the party..

Headed over to my boss house for our work xmas party!!

me and Jess.

More photos on the facebook!!

Oh yeah, btw i've got another new charm on my pandora!!

it's the pink lil bead, sooo cute!!!

Went shopping with Mike at carousel.

What a perfect weekend i must say!!!

And of course,

We've cooked lunch today!!!

Tempura is soooooo yummy!!!

receipe:

3/4 cup (115g) plain flour

1/4 cup (35g) cornflour

pinch of bocarbonate of soda

1 egg, light whisked

1 cup (250ml) soda water

oil to fry

plain flour, extra, to coat (mushrooms, beans, prawns etc)

Seriously, it's soooo easy and sooo delicious!!!

and of course, it has to go with cold soba!!! yums!

Well, cold soba is a must have during hot summer!! REFRESHING!!

ah yesh, and it's summer already! HOT!!!

2009-12-03T01:19:00.005+08:00

It's December already!!!

Xmas is coming!! Hooray! Time to do the xmas shopping!!!

And for this year, i'm going to forget about the e-cards etc, and post out the xmas card like the good ol' fashion way!

I still remember those days when me and my friends would write our own xmas card and mail it out to each other! The long anticipated wait for the postman to arrive and the excitement you get when u receive a card and wonder who it is from. Ah, sweet memories! And then there is the aftermath when there is usually a whole heaps of cards to be tidied up from the table in our living room after the festive season!

Can you imagine those were the days when u actually know where your friend stay, their real names and etc. And like literally, you can "feel" the warmth and love from those handwritten words in the card. Unlike these days when well, technology is really awesome in a way that you can find them straight away and talk to them like you never did. But, does leaving a message on facebook, emails etc. a much better way of expressing yourself to your friend nowsday? To be honest, i rather receive a card. hehehe.

It's just too hard to keep track of friends changing their profile names on facebook and let alone the countless email accounts that people creates! And half the time these day, i dont even know most of my friend's last name because nicknames are so much easier to remember. And seriously, i reckon i know my friend's email better than i can remember their addresses!!

So, have fun receiving my love and warmth everyone!!

ps: i've tried my best to dig out my address book! lolx. If you dont get my card dont be upset and think that i've forgotten about you, it's most prolly because i dont have your address!

Cheers!!

2009-11-30T23:23:00.002+08:00

So, i've been trying to heal my broken and shocked heart ever since Mike told me about the strippers on Anthony's buck night. And yesh, i'm still going on and on about the strippers!! PFFFT!

I guess avoidance is a good way to pretend nothing happened, so i've been trying to keep away from the topic of Anthony's buck night. Well, seriously i rather not know or hear anything about it, and NO... DONT YOU EVEN DARE TRY TO SHOW ME THE PHOTOS!!(which Mike tried to do) Arrrgh.... +breathes hard+

Anyhow, with the music of my new found love, Khalil Fong 方大同 i think i managed to master the art of healing the broken soul with his vocals and music. LOLx!!
Gosh, how can he sounds so good?

Alright, so give me one more week or maybe even a month to let matter rest i reckon! hahaha.

a lil side track,
It was Ben and Michelle engagement party on Sat.
Ben's house looked really nice and his game room is fab with the drums and KTV! haha.
Great company, good food and of course good beers, so i'm not complaining! hahahaa.

kirin yums!!!!

ben's house has lots of photos that he took.

2009-11-30T23:08:00.002+08:00

All good things have to come to an end as they say.

And finally Circus Action 4 has finished airing and this is the first weekend without them!!

It's like a tragedy really, something that you are always anticipating and looking forward to is gone now. It's like i'm missing a part of me! Man, i'm missing those laughter, joy, fun and sillyness from those 4 silly boys already!!

BUT, on the bright side....

Circus is doing a new variety show - 校园4贱客!!

So it's not that tragic afterall! hehehe.

Oh well, dont ask me what i like about them, just watch their show and you will know. It's very simple, either you like them or hate them for their random stupid acts!

2009-11-27T23:26:00.002+08:00

so, i'm in a very BIG crisis now!!!

As i am typing this post, i cant believe my bf is enjoying himself at Anthony's buck night watching strippers doing whatever things they do best! Like, WTF!
Give me back my innocent bf!!! sob!! hahaha.
It's like when you thought watching porn and masturbating is bad enough... A live strip show.. OMG.
My heart cant take it anymore. +breathes hard+

Why is strippers acceptable?!?!
ok, maybe i would love to have guys in uniforms (thumbs up to firemen, man they are so HOT) seducing me on my hens night too! HAHAHA, slap myself, silvia!!!

Still, i cant help but to let my imagination runs wild....
Argghhhh...
i think what's worst is those people that rang up for those strippers!!!
Have a control of your balls, can you!!!

arrggghhh.

oh btw,
we are going to michelle and ben's engagament party tml.

damn, some how i am already dreading ben's bucks night. oh great, sigh!

2009-11-21T03:37:00.004+08:00

Spring is here and flowers are crazily blossoming everyday. And poor me got to deal with hayfever and allergies symptoms from all the scattered pollens and weird weather changes.

Somehow time is going so quick that OMG, it’s to the end of November already!
November is the official month to support the breast cancer foundation, so we wore pink to work!

Looked more like i'm working for addias!

And how can I forget Weiping(one of my cousins) was here last month with her family to visit her husband whom is working over here currently.

met up with her straight after i landed from melbourne.

geesh, lil kid is growing up too quickly these days in the blink of your eyes!! the last time i saw her she was like a baby!!

celebrated her 1st bday at the apartment hotel!

how lucky is that to have your 1st bday being celebrated oversea and having your aunty and family around!

She's going to grow up to be a lil smart whiz!

Catch up with the girls at work.

me and emma, one of my grad year girl.

just a few of us.

lil tabitha is soooo big and she's only 2 mths old!!!

Also, countless places with Mike.

bye asahi, it's kirin now baby!

Catch up with you guys later!!

2009-11-21T02:50:00.009+08:00

Places might be renamed, new buildings might be built but these will never erase how wonderful Melbourne is to me.

The streets, the buildings, the places, the people, the weather and the things to do all seems so familiar, seems so close to my heart like a favourite warmth spot on the sofa.
And now 2 years later, I am back to this place where it brings back so much memory. Just that this time, I’m roaming the town with someone else, holding on to someone else and creating new memories.

I Love Melbourne! (Beware, tons of photos!)

Me and Mike on the plane protecting ourselves from H1N1..

Congrats to Shihling and Fung with their lil son!

Went out to dine at The Left Banks.

Recently, i'm totally hooked onto this tawainese band/ variety show.

They are sooooo ridiculously funny, stupid, lame and things that they do are soooo pretty random that makes them soooo uber attractive to me!!! And i've pretty much busted last month's internet usage watching all their previous seasons online.. hahaha. Hopefully we dont get cap this month !! pffft!

Also,
J is back from melb, and so i've got my early taste of melb- Krispy Kreme! Yums!!!

Counting down to Melb already!!! 1 more month to go! weeeeeeeee!

2009-08-26T21:43:00.004+08:00

The BIG problem with staying in a foreign land far far away from your home (ok, maybe not THAT far but how about in a ULU perth?) is that when your beloved products finishes.... IT'S SOOO FUCKING HARD TO FIND THE REPLACEMENT!

Well, you see...

Firstly, i can stock up the supply each time i go back to Singapore...

BUT! Each time i return back to Singapore, i either find myself having to bring back other more important items than to let say buy 5 bottles of each item and there goes my damn baggage... And they bloody hell doesnt cost any cheaper to buy in bulks anyway!

Also, I've been going back to Singapore too many times over the past 2 years!!! WHAHAHAH!

Air ticket not cheap ok! So... i'm trying to control myself from that and just try to return home twice every year and spend the rest of the moolahs going somewhere else! hehehe.

and the point of this whole shit is...

MY ADNOIS PRODUCTS ARE FINISHING!! AND........
I've got no other choice but to find another brand to replace it! hahahaha

have been using them since i was 18 when my mum started bringing me to see their beautician..

and after much consideration... i thought i'll treat myself to CLINIQUE for my birthday pressie!

total damage 500!

3 steps solution!

the essentials..

the make up

freebies!

what's even better is that after 4 weeks of using their products, you get to see their dermatologist again for a consult!

and hahaha, i had my appointment with them today

MORE DAMAGES DONE!!!

whahaha..

i can only say............

WOMEN HAVE THEIR WEAKNESS TOO.. LOL...

and i think i know what's mine already.. hahahah

2009-08-25T01:08:00.008+08:00

Realised that i havent been updating my life since god knows when...

Hmmm, so where should i start? (digging out folders of photos)

This must be some time during May,

having a steamboat during winter in the house. Yums!

Then came June,

Me and Mike decided to go on a road tip to Rockingham to take some photos. Well you see, it must have been a good year and a bit that i've gotten my DSLR and god i havent master to actually use it yet! aahaha. So below is some of my master pieces taken from my 40D.

the driver

Assistant reading the map

Point Peron! Lovely place!

My photography skills. Lolx

Pretty shore

At the top.

July- we celebrated lil Jet's birthday!

Pressie from Uncle Mike and Me.

Check my camera out!

Lil Jet is one now!

And not forgetting my bf's birthday too!

He gets to have my cupcakes! LOLx

Old fart with 29 candles!

Birthday dinner with the family at home.

Hippo Creek for the bf birthday!

happy birthday my dear!

+SCREAMS+

I've passed my driving assessment! and boy that was easy even my dad didnt believed in me! Seriously, all the preparation i've got is just 13 lessons (26hours in total) and my instructor booked me for the assessment!

All i need to do now is to wait for another 6 mths and clock up another 25 hours of driving in a log book and sit for a computor test and i'll get my license! WEEEE! Saving up now to get a car next year!

Also, recently...

Celebrated Mike's Mum birthday,

And I've brought Alicia to try out this dimsum place as she didnt tried them in her life before!!! Val came along too!

Alicia hesitated at first...

but everything went well later! hahaha. NOOB!

Alicia and Val

Thanks for the ride hun!

And just last week,

Dragged Mike to this Jap place to dine.

OMFG, yakitori! yums!

And so, as August slowly creeps in again.. It's another new chapter for me!

What does this new chapter holds for me again i wonder?

2009-08-18T23:18:00.012+08:00

Happy birthday to me!

Thanks everyone for the well wishes!

Turning 23 is seriously no fucking jokes, feels like yesterday that i'm still 18. Gosh, growing old is no joy at all. Funny how when you are younger you just cant wait to grow up, and now that you're officially being called an old fart, you just wish to deny the fact that you are indeed getting old. SIGH!

Anyhow,

Mike celebrated my birthday in advance on the weekend. We went on a road trip to Swan Valley despite the rainy weather. Thanks my love, appreciate that!

the birthday girl gets to read the map and go where ever she wants!

arrived at swan valley with the big rain...

BF booked this place for brunch! sweeet!

exploring the area... greens greens greens, fresh air!

Riverbanks Estate Winery and Restaurant

Having morning tea with such a view. (didnt opt to try the wine tasting, too early for wine we reckon!)

entree

my main

lovely lunch!

car ride to the hill top! you could see perth city in the back..

thanks bf!

lovely views from the hill along the way..

visited the mundaring weir. OMFG, the dam is huge!

where all the waters flows from...

and it rains again!

headed to the indiana tea house at cotto beach for some afternoon tea.

loved the place! so coming back for more!!

I've been having this BIG ISSUE recently!

like seriously FUCKING HUGE ISSUE here!

One of my walls in my bedroom is fucking molding!!!! AND IT'S MOLDING ONTO MY WARDROBE AND INTO MY WARDROBE NOW!!!

ARGGGGGHHHHHHHH FUCKING GAY SHIT!!!

So, apparently condensation takes place on the wall ( seriously, you can see water droplets on the wall). And either because my room's not getting enough sunlight, i'm not airing my room enough or the heater at home is making the temperature different.. GAY SHIT!

WHY MUST IT HAVE SO MUCH HASSLE!

I'VE BEEN CLEANING UP AND STILL THE FREAKING MOLD IS GROWING!

GAYYYYYY!

i've even tried putting this thingy that looks like some sort of potted plant that i'm planting in my room to absorb the moisture... and yesh, it still grew mold and totally stained my wall!! (maybe i was a lil slack in cleaning up my room! but molding to that extend is still a lil WAY TOO MUCH!)

and even hippo doesnt help too!!!

Any suggestion any one?

damnit, cant wait for summer to be here!

2009-07-23T00:59:00.002+08:00

Watched Harry Potter with Kel today.

and boy......

the last half of the year is always filled with lots of birthday!!!

1st was shih ching's birthday.

then came jenny's which i totally missed her annual steamboat celebration again because of my work.

to top it up, we got her the limited edition ck euphoria- to someone like me that loves to collect perfume, their design is like the prettiest thing ever!! Would have got one for myself personally, but the scent is a lil too sweet for me so i gave it a pass instead.

Happy birthday SDL!

It has been 2 weeks since my brother and Kris came over for a visit!

Many thanks to Mike for being the driver really! Must have being really tiring for the BF!

It was a great pleasure having my bro and Kris here. And of course i think me and Mike did a good job in showing them around. The four of us have definitely bonded much closer after this trip. I guess it gave me a chance to know Kris much better and of course for them to see the little sister's life in Aussie.

Armin Van Buuren almost blasted my ear drums away and made me had sore feet for 2 days!!
That's what you get when you are 23 and still partying hard with trance! lOlx!
To be frank, i am not a trance fan at all! In fact, trance music gives me a headache!
But still, i went for Armin's concert at Metros with Mike last week.

What i could say is..... man, it's not easy seeing him!
Well, we was suppose to go last year when he was here, but...... somehow, mike managed to lost the tickets on our way to metros. So that was such an unfortunate escape i can say.

And this year....
Just when i was partying hard in Metros for 2 hours and waiting patiently for Armin to perform.... the fire alarm went off. and so, we got to exit the building. Imagine, fighting the winter cold waiting outside the building.... At that point of time, i was about to give up and ask Mike if we could go home instead!

In the end,
we still managed to see him perform. AND BOY,I LIKE HIM!! JUST AWESOME!

ARMIN ARMIN ARMIN!

So how extactly are you comfortable in meeting someone that you have met online?

As for me and Daniel, i guess we should have met a long long time ago!

The story started that we met online very randomly (to be frank, i kinda forgot how i even know him or where i met him online- but i guess his profile must have been REALLY impressive, if not i dont usually reply back to random people! haha) So you know when you put a doctor and a nurse together, hahaa, i guess that's when we started chatting online. Funny thing is that in such a HUGE cyber space, we managed to find out that we're both actually working in Perth! He's an intern in RPH and me a nurse in SJOG- what a small world! So i guess that's part of the reason why i've kept in contact with him even thou we only chatted casusally at times.

And viola, i finally met up with him last week after soooooo long! (i would say maybe after msning him for a year? haha).

Met him up at his work place, and seriously! waiting at RPH's ED scared the hell outta me!

Went over to THE Royal at East Perth (i have never been to east perth before and boy it was sooo pretty! i must admit it has the best view and ambience ever!)

So the night went on with a bottle of corona.... starter.... shared a bottle of red wine between us.... had our mains...

lots and lots of chatting....

decided to change another location to chill and headed to Burswood...

had one more pint of beer....

and ..... (you can pretty much fill in whatever happen)

that's my night!!

Hope you guys had a great mummy's day celebration to reward your wonderful mum!! (it's a bit late for this post i know! shame on myself seriously!)

Happy Belated Mum's day to all the awesome mummy out there!!!

Firstly, i wanna thanks the fantastic mums that's in my life! Without them taking good care of me, i guess i'll be struggling to survive over here man!

Of course i gotta thanks Shirley the most! Practically she's my mum over in Perth just minus the nagging. haha. Gotta thanks her for welcoming me into their family and treating me just like her daughters.

So, as a tradition i got Shirley flowers for mum's day. OMFG, THEY WERE SO FUCKING PRETTY CAN! i like.. hint hint.. hahaha. beautiful flowers for such a beautiful mum!

Also, since i kinda spend most of my days off over at Mike's place and you knowing having dinner at their place etc, the next person i should thanks the most would be Mike's mum. His mum always tried her best to make me feel welcome and at home. Cooking dishes that i liked and inviting me over for family gathering etc. I'm really grateful! Therefore, this year i decided to do something nice for the mum as a token of appreciation.

Got aunty this personally hand-decorated vase of orchids since she loves orchids.

=)

and MOST IMPORTANTLY, GOTTA THANKS MY MUM THE MOST LAH!

without her there wont be me right? hahaha.

If you treat your mum nice 24/7, it's mum's day for her everyday isnt it? hahaha.

I MISS MY MUM!!!

Oh btw, did i told you guys that my brother is coming over with da sao for a short holiday at this end of may?
so..... 1 MORE WEEK TO MY ANNUAL LEAVE AGAIN!!! weeeeeeeeeee... cant wait to have my holiday with them!!
