.time out with girlfriends.

.First.

Another night out with the girls
.Miss Clarity Cafe.
delicious and tasty food at cheap prices.
couldn’t get enough of food but we were super bloated at the end of our meals.

Smashing times with these girls.
Silly moments, Tons of laughter, Serious talk.
There wouldn’t be any fun without my 3 babes here.
Can u believe that in about 1.5 years’ time… we would either be out in the workforce or pursuing our honours roll?
It just seems like yesterday when we first graduated from JC and entered uni.
and now, we are all turning 21. Time flies, as always.
And of course, there’s bound to be alot of cam-whoring with these babes as well.
It’s fun but the lighting is atrociously terrible.

I love my darlings.
More dates that’s for sure.
remember our waxing and piercing dates!
and also, chill-out at wala wala. sleepovers at jul’s place.

Happy 21st Birthday, Juliet
sorry that I couldnt be there for your birthday celebration at Sentosa this coming Monday.
Darn school and work.
Next time babe, we’ll head to Sentosa for our tanning and bumming around sessions.

.Second.

haven’t met up with these girls for the longest time EVER.
shi hui , debra, gwen
too bad that soy and evan couldn’t meet up with us
made me reminise the good old’ times that we had back in secondary school.
9 years of friendship in the making and of course, more to come
i think it’s a gals’ thing but whenever im out in great company of girlfriends,
there’s certainly bound to be more laughs and hilarious moments.

Always not enough time… In the need for more time please.

It’s now time for more pictures-taking for keepsake reasons.
Having to always smile can be a bore at times,
so it calls for special occasions to do ridiculously silly and ugly shots.

So, there you have it - my lovely girlfriends
adding joy to my life!!!

.1st March 2008.

baby, happy 2nd month

Like we’ve mentioned to each other a thousand and one times before - how our love journey first begins still amazes us both tremendously. we could never ever get bored of talking about the same topic over and over again lol. Who would have ever thought that you + me would eventually end up together? It’s all such an ironic twist of fate that turns out to be unexpectedly beautiful

Sure, it’s only been 2 months, a really short period of time as many would say.
As some might say, “still the honeymoon period”….
And we both know that anything could happen… there’s still bound to be many challenges and obstacles that we would have to face in the near future.
But for now, who are they to judge us when they are not in our positions?
Sometimes, all it takes is just that special connection you have with the other party…

You are the first and last person I think of, with each passing day.
The ONLY one who could inspire a technology-idiot like me to actually start up a blog (when i always say i wouldn’t) just so that I can document our journey together.
The one who always makes me look forward to weekends as I know, those would be the days whereby I get to see you and spend precious time with you.
The one who makes me want to become a better person in general, not just to you but to those whom i so dearly love.

it feels so wonderful to be here with you.
You make it all worthwhile.
.love.

1 of our favourite song:

.food for thought.

Reflection:

It seems almost inevitable that when we are young, our ambitions and expectations of how we should lead our lives rages … Very often, the burden of such harsh expectations swamp our minds and lives to a huge extent.
We often feel that if  our lives are not kept wildly occupied most of the time, this would thus indicate that life seems unfulfilled and that we are not living life to the fullest of our abilities. As such, the simple things in life are often not appreciated - people usually look for the glitz and glamour of life … not wanting to be just another ordinary, average Jane or Tom; in other words, we desire to be so much more. To be successful in our own means - whether it’s career-wise, financial matters, artistic talents or obtaining a certain level of social status. In the pursuit of such accomplishments, some sacrifices have to be made - and in most instances, family bonds … friendships …. and relationships with others are the first to go. All of which, in my opinion, are the fundamental and essential factors of a meaningful life. Sure, everyone wants to accomplish major feats in their lives - who doesn’t? - but we should not forget the simplest things in life which could also be the most beautiful.

“When we get too caught up in the business of the world we lose connection with one another- and ourselves. “
   - Kornfield, Jack -

That’s for now.

.the other love in my life.

Just cannot seem to take my eyes off Dustball these days….
reserving most of my evenings exclusively for her now. love.
she might seem really tiny but hell, she’s actually one mighty girl-

:)  

climbing ‘monkeybars’ on her 4s around the cage,
eating sweet peas and other seeds from my palm,
peeing at just one corner of the cage - yes, that’s her exclusive peeing corner… Neat!
she even jumps onto my palm whenever i place my hand into the cage - now tell me, how many hamsters would do just that?

and I know… Mr. MK is jealous because he isn’t here to witness all the cute antics of Dustball lol.

On a sidenote, just decided to post a video of baby flairing…
that video was taken ages ago when he was still a bartender.
he says it’s super mediocre and average (maybe?)
but to a flairing idiot like me, I think it’s impressive. That’s something that i can NEVER do (for now). lol.

.counting down to 1st february.

.moppets.

my collection - on my way to collecting the final 2

vivian just sent me the pic we took at MOS -
3 pretty and hot babes, ya i know.
I know this sounds bimbotic but I really love their silky tresses…
would take me hell long to even get to close to that length and my previous
hair extensions made my natural hair so entangled that it scared the crap out of me.

schoolwork is piling. lots of deadlines for projects and assignments.
and yet all i can do is to procrastinate 24/7.
cant seem to be able to concentrate on mugging or anything related to studies for that matter.
feeling the intense stress - all i want is for holidays to come.
ONLY baby knows why im especially looking forward to MAY

.a busy week.

.Tuesday.

1st time trying out the rather-raved about Ichiban Sushi with baby…
making it a habit to have jap food at least once/fortnight. it’s our favourite.
we really ought to try out another type of cuisine more often, but alas i only get to see him once-twice/week :( 

we love ice-cream too. If only Awfully Chocolate gives me a ring anytime soon to update me of the training times. Idulgence in ice-cream and chocolate is heavenly.

Come Wednesday Night, a long over-due night out with the girls at MOS…
it was a blast but im actually feeling a tad bored of clubbing and dancing these days.
juls and i feel that a night out at a chill-out place would do us much better.
i think we’ve aged too fast… even clubbing is tiring for us.
And vain me decided to wear my new 4-inches killer heels to club. BAD MOVE.
My legs were practically dead at the end of the night. Honestly, I need a foot massage and pedicure desperatedly.

Camy introduced Janice to us that night. sociable, pretty babe with a great personality

I miss Claire babe. It’s been way too long.
and forgetful me forgot to bring along her 21st birthday present and the way way way over-due souvenier i got specially for her from my jap trip back in august 2007. 6 mths delay. I ought to be punished man. sorry Claire, next time. I promised.

Korean feast at SU Korean restaurant. reccommended by agri.

Baby hardly does any cooking. He’s a lazy bum like yours truly.
Heck, everyone knows that I can’t cook for nuts. Surprisingly, most of my guy friends can cook way better than my female friends. To me, i think it’s alright but it’s still shocking to me when guys tell me that sometimes, knowing how to cook is a pre-requisite for them when it comes to the ideal girlfriend.Anyway, what touched me was that baby decided to whip up a simple dish of fried eggs for me despite complaining non-stop about how he would have to clean up the mess and wash the wok after that.

I know. The pics do not do justice to it. It looks terrible here but in reality, it tastes pretty good. enough to satisfy my hunger pangs  

Introducing “Dustball”
our lovely silver fox baby syrian.
3.5 weeks old

she’s super tiny though … only  slightly longer than my last finger…
It’s the first furry pet that baby ever has in his life thus far and I suppose that explains why he dotes on her so much. It’s extremely adorable to see how he gets so eager to want to learn to not only pet and play with her but also, to learn the ropes of proper caring of hamsters. and since she’s living at my place, he’s constantly asking me to update him with the “growing up” process of Dustball.
someone else is getting envious of all the attention that he’s placing on her lol.

I’ve been in love before… and yes, falling in love is easy. maintaining it is hard.
But with you, it’s something that I’ve never ever felt before.
This time round, it just feels so right having you by my side.

1 of my all-time fav. love song
and you know it’s just for you

Phantom Of The Opera - All I Ask Of You Lyrics

No more talk of darkness,
forget these wide-eyed fears;
I’m here, nothing can harm you,
my words will warm and calm you.
Let me be your freedom,
let daylight dry your tears;
I’m here, with you, beside you,
to guard you and to guide you.Christine
Say you’ll love me ev’ry waking moment;
turn my head with talk of summertime.
Say you need me with you now and always;
promise me that all you say is true,
that’s all I ask of you.Raoul
Let me be your shelter,
let me be your light;
you’re safe, no one will find you,
your fears are far behind you.Christine
All I want is freedom,
a world with no more night;
and you, always beside me,
to hold me and to hide me.Raoul
Then say you’ll share with me one love, one lifetime;
let me lead you from you solitude.
Say you need me with you, here beside you,
anywhere you go, let me go too,
that’s all I ask of you.Christine
Say you’ll share with me one love, one lifetime.
Say the word and I will follow you.Together
Share each day with me, each night, each morning.Christine
Say you love me…Raoul
You know I do.Together
Love me, that’s all I ask of you.Anywhere you go let me go too

Love me…
that’s all I ask of you.

.Desires.

we are getting a silver fox baby female syrian this coming saturday

Now, we just need to think of a name for her.
thanks to:

Aren’t they the most adorable creatures ever?

My current NOKIA N70 is getting old and cranky.
It means time for a new handphone.
The chocolate colour of NOKIA 6500 Classic looks super yummy, makes me want to get it.

   or  

heading over to the States for a student exchange program.
Finally, am going to get a new good laptop of my very own.
don’t have to always be stuck with the old family one.
and im such a sucker for the pretty vibrant colours that SONY VAIO offers.

Time for Partings.

.farewell.

everyone’s leaving for australia. it’ll only be a year later before i get to see them again
im never exactly one who likes partings and farewells.

first and foremost. farewell to javier and lawrence.
in fact, it’s been quite some time since i last met up with my cj friends….
a good time indeed to do some catching up of the new times.
outings without javier would never be quite the same again …. going to miss all the humour that he brings to the group.

 Next up, farewell dinner for Shuling at Shokudu Japanese Food Bazaar.
There’s never a dull moment with these girls. Always fun and laughter.
Being Spontaneous is the Key.
There wouldnt be any fun without the company of these girlfriends.
MORE gatherings to come ….
 

Finally! DAN.
It’s ironic how our friendship has developed over-time.
And dare I say that we’ve grown much closer since he returned from Australia.
Alas, good moments never last…
Waiting for your return at yr end.

Come August, it’s my turn to bid farewell.

Boundless Joy

Having a pet always brings one countless of joy and satisfaction
I miss having the company of syrian hamsters in my life …

ready for another love in my life

.valentine’s day.

valentine’s day.

olivia and I  have come a long way back, since first 3mths back in JC.
and now, we’re celebrating our fourth valentine’s day in a row….
2005. 2006. 2007. 2008.
and i know for certain, many more vday dates together ….
It’s certain - my vdays belong to only Olivia. unless she decides to ditch me for her bf one day.

had our cosy little celebration at tea cozy. love the concept of tea cozy - a little cafe inside a unique antique shop. and it holds special memories too…. afterall, MK brought me there for our first date.

and of course, with some time to spare in the ladies, we both couldnt help but to spend a little time doing a little of snapping here and there. i think those who had visited the ladies at that time would inevitably think of us both as some air-headed bimbos who adore cam-whoring lol.

and i love oli’s camera- takes much nicer quality close-up shots. the pics look almost as if they were photoshopped though they werent. most pple would say that they don’t look as good in pics as compared to real-life but oli’s camera just does miracles. im jealous.

and forgot to add,
it’s so sweet of olivia - she got me this lovely cupcake for vday!
couldnt even bear to eat this, looks too pretty to be eaten. lol.

speaking of cupcakes and valentine’s day ….
im such a sucker for being a hopeless romantic …. decided to ditch all ideas of getting expansive and over-priced stuff for MK and eventually, settled into making him a handmade card and custom designed cupcakes specially for him.
Unfortunately, im no baker so had to rope in the help of professionals to bake and decorate the cupcakes.

If you are wondering, baby has in store his own set of surprises for me.


And post-vday date …
bumming our arse at siloso beach.
we both reckon that a laid-back beach lifestyle is what we both desire to have. .for now.


 

and me being such a sucker for flowers, i insisted on going for the
SENTOSA FLOWERS 2008 event.



at the “TREES OF LIFE” where MK and i wrote our wishes on a leaf and being the shortie that i am, i let him do the honours of hanging the leaf onto the tree branch.
afterall, he’s 1.8m … should be an easy task for him.



Yesterday was all about LOVE.
