表妹 is 21!

HAPPY 21ST BIRTHDAY VIVIAN CHUA!
how time flies... cousin vivi is 21! the lil rabbit whom we used to call is 21! LOL. we practically played together and grow up together and its really heartwarming to see her turning 21. we were once lil girls who were young and naive but look at us now, at the blink of an eye, we are adults now. what i hate about growing up is the responsibilities that come along. however, i believe vivi will be strong enough to overcome all the obstacles in her life. :)

i guess she's very happy at this point in her life now, with a good family, a lovely boyfriend, close besties and she's a teacher-to-be in the future. i hope she would stay this happy, blessed and lucky throughout the rest of her life. :)

glad that she enjoyed her big day yesterday!! :D and oh, her friends told me that vivi, val and i looked alike, especially our eyes. do we?





outta the 4 childhood playmates, 2 of us already turned 21. so who's the next one? it's gonna be my brother followed by cousin val. damn, i feel so old. :(

our love story

sometimes fate can be really magical and it comes knocking on your door when you least expect it...

we knew each other back then when we were still young and naive. ironically, even thou we were so near but we didnt communicate, not at all for the 3years in the same class. the only impression i had of him was he was short, round and perhaps had that lil bit of attitude problem in him? LOL. and according to him, i was fierce, had very big eyes, hair always tied up in pony tail and tall. i was considered tall back in primary school days but somehow, i just stopped growing in secondary school.

many years later, on that fateful saturday night after christmas, he msn-ed me out of a sudden and i actually replied him with quite a hostile reaction. but somehow, we still managed to work things out well enough for us to meet up. we met up, chatted the night away all the way till 3am at coffee bean, non stop. surprisingly, we had so much things to share, so much to talk about considered the fact that its the first time we really talk to each other even thou we knew each other since 12 years ago? its just amazing eh?

he asked me out again the next night and subsequently, every night. LOL. we spent the next 2 weeks together before 2010 arrives. somehow, i couldn't really describe how we really started out. i guess its the bits and pieces of everything that linked us together.

ECP night
there's this particular night, to be more precise, our third night out, he suggested going to ECP. he came down to fetch me and told me this the moment we walked to the car, "i have something for you." i opened the car door and saw a box of strawberries lying on the seat. its a nice gesture from him but this nice gesture was enough to make me smile from the bottom of my heart. :)

we somehow got lost as we missed the exit to ECP so we spent quite sometime in the car trying to figure our way out together. being such a direction idiot, i actually forced myself to learn how to use the GPS just to get us back on the right track. LOL. thou its really funny and dumb but i really enjoyed the process cus somehow i just adore the feeling of doing things together and solving things together with him.

reached ECP, strolled along the beach, chatted our night away and we somehow stopped by this prawning place and the impromptu idea of going in just came up. we went in and prawned for one hour i think. we went home after that.

this is the night when we both felt something for each other but somehow, im dumb enough to brush this feeling aside thinking that we could be BFF. LOL. i even went on to ask a few friends and colleagues and they all said that he's interested in me but i somehow just didnt thought so till something really shocking happened the next night...

pardon me, i cant really recall what did we do the next night but i think we went for dinner or something. haha. the interesting part came...

he sent me home after whatever we did earlier on, i said "goodnight" and attempted to get off the car when he stopped me.

L: did you see anything behind the car earlier today?
J: huh? no. *trying to turn my head behind*
L: eh, nonono, stop. wait. *attempted to reach for something behind*
J: what is it?
L: wait.
*afer a few waiting moments with his hands covering my face... LOL*
*a bouquet of blue roses was there in front of me*
J: how did you know i like blue roses!
L: i remember you told me before last time...
J: really? you still remember what i said so long ago? you must have checked your msn history right?
L: no, i just remembers it. its so long ago, the chat history were long gone already.
J: thanks thanks. i really love it.

*at this point in time, we were both awkward to the max please! then he broke the silence...*

L: err.. i think through all these things, you know that im trying to chase you right?
J: errr... i felt something but i didnt thought much about it.

the sweet surprise.
then we somehow just ended our night there and i went off. LOL. reached home, thought things through before i sleep and sent him a thank you message which he thought i meant otherwise about being together with him. HAHAHA. now that im recalling these things, i find it ultra funny. LOL.

but of course at that point of time, i swear i could die of sweetness. :) i just felt so sweet till i think i could get diabetes or something. HAHA. the thing that touched me was not the flowers, its somehow what he remembers about me. apparently, he remembers a lot of nitty gritty nonsensical stuffs which i told him a few years ago. you gotta agree that not much guys could actually remember such small lil details thats why he really somehow just touched my heart, very much. :)

i know what you're thinking but NO, we're still not together at this point yet.

the very next day on the 30th december, met him for dinner and movie. we talked about being together over dinner and had a really awkward conversation but i cant remember the details of the conversation anymore. all i know was we're officially together after dinner. :)

after we got together, we spent everyday together for the rest of the one week before he flew back to america. he took me out on NYE to a japanese restaurant at one of the hotels in shenton way. and we countdown together in his car cus we were stuck in a traffic jam on our way to fetch cousin val and her boyfriend. LOL. even if its so, im still happy to spend the start of 2010 with him.

for the one week, he made an effort to wake up early to send me to work thou i told him its really unnecessary to do so. he even paid me a surprise visit during my lunch time on one of those days just to give me a box of strawberries and it totally made my day. not to mention, he's ultra sweet and caring towards me. :)

and today marks our 3rd monthsary together. how time flies, he's coming back in another 1 month's time. many people told me long distance relationship is the hardest to maintain. i gotta agree and disagree. for the past 3 months while he's away, we've been talking to each other everyday without fail, making an effort to wake up early or sleep late and spending whatever free time we have together, making sure that we still stay as close. the only regret is perhaps just the physical absence from each other. we're still surviving well and strong and at the same time, counting down to the day we see each other once again.





♥ happy 3rd monthsary mr yeoh!! ♥

boys are whatever, friends are forever

met up with yvette for a catch up session on friday night. i was really touched when she said she really hate to see me upset and unhappy when i was with darren in the past. as my bestie, she supported me thou she knew i was really unhappy. she kept silent in front of me despite the fact that she really dislike darren a lot when we used to be together. the one thing that im really touched was she said she's very protective of her close friends and she wont want any of them to get hurt. yes, we dont meet up often and we dont talk that often but somehow, we're always in each other's hearts. we care and worry for each other whenever anything happen to either one of us. im glad she's doing fine now and im glad she's able to put the unhappy past behind her and start anew. :)

jie, i just want you to know that even thou we dont meet up often but i really do treasure you a lot and likewise like you, i hate to see you upset and hurt. you must know that im always here for you. be strong and be positive! whatever happens, you still have me, you still have all your close friends. :)


been hanging out with hui min quite often nowadays cus of just one thing that baby said to her, to take care of me. she's so persistent in meeting me every week cus she wanna keep her word to baby to take care of me. she told me some things over dinner yesterday which made me really surprised yet guilty at the same time.

"im not gonna let lewis bully you in any ways. if he ever dares to cheat on you like how jack neo cheated on his wife, i'll give him hell. he gotta know how tough it is to choose to wait for him to finish his studies and come back when you're someone who wanna settle down and not play around. its 3 years, not 3 months. how tough can this be? he gotta be thankful he found such a nice girl like you who's willing to give up other better choices out there to wait for him. so really, i'll give him hell if he ever dares to betray you."

"...if you ever wanna go clubbing, i'll go with you. i'll make sure i take care of you and never let anybody touch you. i swear i'll give them a tight slap if they dare to touch you. you know there are 2 types of guys out there, one is those who finds it exciting to touch girls who are innocent and blur like you. two is those who go for girls who dont mind and enjoy being touched by them. you never step inside before so you dont know what its like inside."

this is how much she really cares for me and treats me as her best friend cus i used to be always there for her whenever she's in trouble and needed someone to listen to her.


another favourite girl of mine, sueping. just like yvette, we dont meet up that often but once we meet up, we'll always have endless things to talk about. she's someone whom im comfortable in telling my problems to cus she'll always sit down and listen to me. sometimes she might not be able to help me but she'll always be patiently listening to my whinings and think of solutions for me to solve my problems.

and not to forget my bestie, han kee.


she's one girl whom i really love and care for too. we've been through ups and downs together during some parts in our lives especially those tough times we had in 2007. without her, i wont be what i am today, seriously. we never once leave each other in the lurch when we needed each other. now, we're all getting busier with our own lives but i believe the places we have for each other in our hearts will never be replaced right bestie?

i'll never trade away or give up my girls for anything, never. boys can break my heart, betray me and leave me but i believe my girls will never do that to me and they will be the ones by my side when my world collapse. these are the girls whom i will protect like how they care and protect me too. i dont need a truckload of friends, all i need is just them. :)

they're my frame of happiness.

birthday gifts from baby

i finally received the birthday parcel from baby! so now i know the reason why my parcel reached me this late. ICA retained my parcel cus baby didnt pay tax while sending the parcel over. the ICA girl told me any gifts that cost more than SGD400 will need to pay an extra 7% GST so thats why my parcel arrived late.

woke up so early today just to go down to pay the tax and collect my parcel. reached home, first thing i did was to open up my present! :D


gucci sunglasses! :D
vera wang's princess perfume! :D
baby was so thoughtful and observant enough to remember me mentioning before that i regretted not getting that vera wang's princess perfume and there it is, baby bought it for me! :) he even wrote me a letter! he's such a sweet and thoughtful boy! how can i not love this silly boy? :)

been nagging at him for spending so much on my birthday gifts but deep down in me, i really appreciate him for being such a sweet boyfriend to me. what more could i ask for? love my baby so much! 2 more months and we'll be able to see each other once again. :D

22nd birthday

i just turned 22 yesterday. i didnt had any fanciful party or any loud and exciting celebration nor any romantic celebration with boyfriend cus he's overseas now, so far away from me. but well, this sweet boy sent a parcel back for me, my birthday gift. but till now, i've yet to receive it. i think it'll reach me probably by tomorrow or saturday? :)

anyway, still went to work as usual yesterday. colleagues bought me a really cute photo frame as birthday gift. so surprised with it! we dont have the practice of buying gifts for each other on our birthdays except for signing and leaving messages on the birthday card from supervisor. so it really came to me as a surprise. and oh, boss told me a piece of good news for me. they're gonna give me the official promotion and pay rise this coming july. :D

went home to change after work and rushed down to meet bestie for dinner. im super late! guan soon arrived even later! LOL. anyway, we dined at swensens cus bestie and i wanna eat yummy desserts. guansoon rushed down straight away from camp for me. so touched lor! :)











thanks bestie and guansoon for the treat! love them to bits! :D thou i didnt had any grand party or celebration this year, im still very happy nevertheless. :)

thanks everyone for the birthday wishes! they're greatly appreciated. :D

my 22nd advanced birthday celebration

im turning 22 in 3 days' time. i feel damn old please. why do i feel as if im wasting my life away doing nothing constructive? i wanna just do whatever i wanna do and go wherever i wanna go. how many years of youth am i left with? i'll probably say up till 25? so thats like 3 more years to becoming an old lady. i dont wanna just waste my youth away. :)

anyway, met up with my dearest sueping and guansoon for my advanced birthday celebration yesterday. we went to imperial kitchen for my birthday dinner treat from them. the food was fantastic!


after dinner, we went to starbucks while waiting for hui min to join us after work. played with sueping's ipod game while the two of them watched and laughed at me, watched hot korean girls dancing videos and marvelling at their captivating dance moves. i wanna learn too! i wanna join korean dancing classes!

walked to somerset to meet hui min and headed over to barstop for drinks and supper. fantastic environment, awesome atmosphere, all in all, its a really nice place to chill. oh, as usual, sueping and guansoon kept observing me like im some alien or something for fear that i'll get drunk. LOL. something to be proud of, i finished my glass of cocktail and im very sober. haha. i think the alcohol level is really low and furthermore, mine was a special order by sueping with lower content of red wine in it.

and oh! little boss called me at like 1am cus he's also worried that i'll get drunk. did i mention that he actually asked hui min to take care of me if i really get drunk? that fatter boy is such a dear! :) will let you all see his cute face on my site soon! :D










classic example of black and white.
another example.
who's black and who's white? :D










cabbed home after that. enjoyed my night with besties! :D

on a side note, i cant wait for little boss to come back to join the salsa dance classes with me, go to hong kong with me, eat chicken wings with me, drive me around to eat good food and so much more activities we said we're gonna do together! 2 months gone, 3 months more to go!
