my chocolate life

June 2011!

2011-06-03T12:43:00.002+08:00

It's the month of June! Almost half a year gone and what have I done these past five months?

January:

- Start of 2011, leave all those unhappy memories in 2010.

- Went 'Genting' with Ziqi for three days and two nights.

February:

- Chinese New Year!

- Valentine's Day with Ziqi!

March:

- Grandma, Kuku and Gerald's birthdays.

- Pierced my fourth ear hole on my left ear, though it's supposed to be the second time since my first one closed four years ago.

- Bea came and worked part time in the company, under 'PSC'.

- Had dinner at 'Greenhouse' in 'The Ritz Carlton Millenia' with my branch colleagues after getting our bonuses!

April:

- Travelled to 'Bangkok' with my family for four days three nights! My first plane trip after fourteen years! Not only that, it's also the first family trip where the four of us travelled together after a long time. Okay, I'm guilty as charged..

May:

- Daddy's birthday!

- New colleague, Catherine Chue, joined our customer service team on 3 May.

- Mother's Day on 8 May. Kuku and I tried making 'Yam Cake' for the first time. Our second attempt was on 22 May.

- Mastered cooking 'Pan Fried Salmon with Roasted Garlic and Herbs Finishing Sauce'.

- Caught 'Pirate's of The Caribbean - On Stranger Tides' with my aunts. All I can say is Johnny Depp never fails!

- Jaelle tendered and her last working day was 26 May, though officially she'll leave in June. Wan Jing also left already, which means less people I know around my age group.

- Extracted my second wisdom tooth on 30 May and currently having eight days of medical leave, back to work on 7 June.

And now that June's here, I really hope to achieve more before 2011 ends. Spending more time with my family, relatives and friends, losing weight and being healthy! Not only that, I'll be heading to 'Hong Kong' with Ziqi in August/September and 'Taiwan' with my family and Kuku in December! Adding on top of travelling, I'm going to watch 'Jump' with my family and grandma! :D Lot's of family bonding and catching up with friends. Speaking of which, I caught 'Hangover Part 2' with my mum yesterday at 'Westmall'. Treated her to 'Udders' ice-cream afterwhich. :)

Yups yups, my birthday's this month too, and my dearest sister wants to sponsor me a hair cut! Aww, sweet but I hope to have something more lasting. Something that I will be able to keep for long-term usage and definitely for the memories!

Dad's on half day leave today and hence my parents are at 'Tiong Bahru Plaza' watching 'Pirates of The Caribbean - On Stranger Tides'. Alone at home isn't a bad thing, for I can relax and slowly pass the day away...

W302 Cell Group Lou Hei yesterday after fellowship

2011-02-12T12:11:00.002+08:00

Had cell group meeting yesterday at Kenneth's place (it was my third meeting and it's held on Fridays at 8pm) and after fellowship, we had 'Yu Sheng', thanks to Rachel. Loads of ingredients, lots of laughter and trying to finish up the food. We also had some food from 'Old Chang Kee'. Quite a number of pictures were taken using Andreas camera. :)

Recently, work has been pretty fun. Hung Yin is okay recently, 'CST' has a new girl by the name of Lechelle, most of the colleagues from my side are so sweet to me! I get hugged by the senior colleagues every once in a while too!

Currently, I'm at my grandma's house. Going to have lunch soon. Then I'll be waiting for Gerald to come over so that we can watch 'Edward Scissorhand' later. Though it's quite an old show, it's the bonding that counts!

Lacking sleep these few days but I'm not complaining. I don't mind as long as I'm enjoying myself. But of course, I'll definitely spend time with my family too.

My life is amazing so far, I hope yours is too! Happy Saturday! :D

After five months...

2011-02-10T18:49:00.004+08:00

After five months of being on a hiatus, I'm back! :)

Yes, it's almost five months of me being single already. But hey! It's not the end of the world. I've much more to look forward to and live my life for. Have to thank lots of people for keeping me company throughout the first three months, cheering me up and reminding me how beautiful this world is still is. From the bottom of my heart, I sincerely thank you. I'm sure you guys know who you are. :))

Christmas has gone, New Year had passed and Lunar New Year is coming to an end. Valentine's Day is next Monday, indeed time flies.

Been through so much these five months. Despite being single, I got so much closer to my family and cousins, knowing that Pigpig and I are still as close as before (yays!), Daddy surprised me with a 'MacBook Pro' (which I am using currently to type this post), didn't sleep for thirty-one hours from Christmas eve to Christmas, returned back to church and having a cell group plus Bible Study, going to 'Genting' with Pigpig, enjoying work life already..

What else can I say? Life is good and I'm enjoying myself! :D

Okay, this is going to be a short post. Got to head out soon for dinner with Pigpig at 'Kim's Family Restaurant' along 'Lorong Kilat'!

KBox later in the afternoon, quality time with my love tonight =)

2010-09-09T07:39:00.002+08:00

Had 'Long John Silver's' for dinner last evening with my love. Went to meet him at 'Queenstown' MRT station after work and we walked down together to 'Commonwealth' MRT station. Yvonne joined us in walking there as well but she left around 6.45pm and went for her lesson.

After dinner, my love and I took bus 61 back to my house. He stayed for awhile and left when it was nearing 9pm as he wanted to go home and change before meeting his 'AGC' course mates at 10pm at 'Butter Factory'. By the time he left his house, it was almost 9.40pm so he cabbed there.

Called him around 12midnight and told him that I was going to sleep already. Was feeling rather tired and having a slight cough due to the amount of chocolates desserts that I had eaten on Monday and also the titbits that Jaelle had offered me slightly before lunch.

As for today, I'm on half day off in the afternoon. Going to 'KBox' at 'SAFRA Mount Faber' with Jaelle. Heard that's it's relatively new and they have touch-screen controls, like the 'KBox' in 'SAFRA Jurong'. I'm just not looking forward to being inside the freezing-cold rooms.

Will be going for dinner tomorrow evening (Daddy said we'll leave the house at 6pm) with my parents, Bea and my love at 'Dom' to eat 'Crab Noodles'. =) It's been so long since I've eaten 'Crab Noodles' from that shop/cafe, which is almost two years if I'm not wrong.

There's a lot of cases in the system again, and recently I've been handling more calls than emails. I used to think that emails are easier to settle than calls, but now I think otherwise. Emails still have to be vetted, whereas for calls I can just close after making calling the related party.

It's a long weekend ahead thanks to the public holiday ('Hari Raya Puasa') tomorrow! Can't wait to spend quality time with my family and love! =)

Simple but lovely evening/night with my love

2010-09-08T07:42:00.002+08:00

It was a rather boring day at work yesterday. Wore a dress to work and got told off by Hung Yin. She complained that it was too low-cut and revealing, will attract guys so she made me wear my blazer. I wasn't allowed to take off my blazer unless I step out of the office. Rather unhappy because she can wear low-cut blouses and almost all the people from our side heard her telling me off. Few of my colleagues commented that they had seen her wearing such clothes but she's the boss, so what can we do?

My love went to 'Jurong Point' for his haircut yesterday and by the time he reached home, he was late already. He had to reach 'AFTC' at 1pm so he cabbed there in the end.

After knocking off, went to meet my love at 'Jurong East' interchange. He left 'AFTC' at 5.30pm and Derrick gave him a lift to 'Normanton Park', which was convenient for him as he has two direct buses to the interchange.

When he reached, we went to buy dinner from 'Jurong East Central' before walking back to his house. Ate our dinner while watching television. After our dinner, we rested together and watched 'Bolt'. Around 8.30pm, he wanted to bathe so I helped him to wash his hair. That sillyboy likes me massaging and scratching his hair.

Rested together after he bathed and left around 9.30pm. Cabbed back to my house but we alighted at the fitness area. From there, we walked the long way back to my house, talking and enjoying each other's company. =) Got back home, he went to say Hi to my parents and talked to them for awhile; they were asking him about his training and the future trainings ahead. My love left slightly before 10pm and went back home as he was tired.

My love is having off today and he had applied for leave tomorrow with his 'AGC' course mates, which means he doesn't have to report to 'AFTC' for these two days. He will be meeting his course mates at 10pm for supper tonight and they'll be going to 'Zouk' after that. And before he meets them, I'll be having dinner with him first. =)

Can't wait for the long weekend ahead! Will be going to 'KBox' at 'SAFRA Mount Faber' with Jaelle tomorrow afternoon. She applied for half day leave in the afternoon while I applied for half day off in the afternoon. After singing, I'll be going to meet my love before we head down to 'Clarke Quay' to meet Uncle and the rest for drinking and catch-up session.

Alright, have to go already. Many cases to clear again. Have a wonderful Wednesday everyone! It's mid-week! =)

My love is back! =)

2010-09-07T07:43:00.003+08:00

My Baby's Back!!

Yesterday, left the office at 12.20pm and rushed home. Had some food before going to bathe then used my lappy for a while and left the house around 2.55pm.

Went to meet Pigpig at 'Woodlands' and we took bus 168 to somewhere in 'Tampines', transferred to bus 27 before reaching 'Changi Airport Terminal 3'. Headed to 'TCC' for her early dinner; she had 'Prawn and Scallops Aglio Olio' while we shared 'Prawn Cheese Snack' and 'Chocobana Parfait'. Afterwhich, we went to 'Slide@T3' to sit the slide! In order to sit the slide, we had to spend minimum of $30 in a single receipt and we'll get two turns for free. Put down our bags with the guy at the counter and queued up. Pigpig went first and after I had slid down, she was waiting for me with a smiley face. Retrieved our bags and walked to 'Candy Empire', where she bought a tube of orange sweets. Nearing 7pm, called Jasmine and enquired where she was. Sent Pigpig off to the interchange then waited for Jasmine to arrive.

Jasmine came to meet me near the interchange and we decided to have dinner at 'The Pasta Shop' by 'Sakae Sushi'. The pasta we had was rather salty, service was horrible and some of the food we wanted wasn't available. Still, we had a good chat between us and since we spent $46++, I brought Jasmine to try out the slide as well! This time round, I went first as her heart was beating very fast! Waited for her, retrieved our bags and had desserts at 'The Coffee Club'! We shared two desserts between us, both were chocolate related and very sinful. After eating at about 9.30pm, we left and took the 'Skytrain' to 'Terminal 1' to wait for my love to arrive.

My love was arriving at 9.55pm; flight number was 'QF5' and belt number was 18. Jasmine accompanied me and we were looking out for him and knowing that sillyboy, he would be at the alcohol area buying alcohol before taking his luggage. Thirty minutes later, he came out, pushing a trolley with his luggage and alcohol. First thing I did was to ruffle his hair, commenting that it was very long! He bade farewell to two of his coursemates then walked to the taxi stand together (He had two luggages and a plastic bag containing alcohol and 'Heinekin').

Since Jasmine was living in 'Tampines' and was on the way, we dropped her off at the bus stop directly outside her block and then back to his house. While at his house, we rested for about thirty mintues then I went to cab back home. He was very tired since he was still used to the time in 'Tamworth', which was 2am in 'Tamworth'.

Got home slightly after 12midnight, hurriedly washed up and took out my contact lenses. Called my love but he was unpacking some of his clothes so said that he'll call me a while later. Within five minutes, he called me but we didn't really talk as both of us were sleepy. Hence five minutes after talking, we went to bed.

As for today, my parents sent me to work and they went for breakfast together. My love has to report to 'AFTC' at 1pm but needs to have a haircut before that. Going to have dinner with him tonight!

My love is returning from Tamworth today at 9.55pm!

2010-09-06T07:38:00.002+08:00

My love is returning from 'Tamworth' today at 9.55pm!

He called me around 8.57pm last night and we talked for thirty minutes! That sillyboy of mine is happy that he's coming back and I'm glad he was in a very good mood. =)

Half day off, but I don't seem eager to leave at 12.15pm. Not sure if it's because of the initial reluctance from Hung Yin as she didn't want to let me off in the first place.

Nonetheless, I'll be rushing home after work then bathe and prepare before travelling to 'Woodlands' to meet Pigpig at 3.30pm. Afterwhich, we'll be heading to 'Changi Airport'.

This week is going to be a very short one, with 'Hari Raya Puasa' on Friday which means there's a public holiday. Meeting Uncle and the rest on Thursday night to drink! =)

Saturday, will be going to 'Burger Shack' for lunch with Bea, my love and Yvonne. I was telling love that it's "bring-your-sister-out-for-lunch" day and he said it's lame!! =x

Have to try and clear all my cases by 12.15pm! No Monday blues! =D

Day forty that my love is away, one day more to go before he returns!!

2010-09-05T11:33:00.002+08:00

It's day forty that my love is away in 'Tamworth', just one day left to go before he comes back!

Stayed overnight again at my Grandma's house but this time round Kuku and I slept earlier. We were too tired to stay up so late like the night before, so we slept around 1am.

When I woke up around 7am, it was raining quite heavily. In fact, it was quite cooling because Kuku and I were sleeping with the air conditioner switched on.

Going to 'Bukit Panjang Plaza' later with Kuku, Kujie and Gerald. If I'm not wrong Kujie wants to go over to 'Daiso', so we'll wait for her to come back from church first before going.

Half day off tomorrow, thanks to my colleague Ya Li who encouraged me to talk to Hung Yin and asked her to let me go on half day. If not for Ya Li, I wouldn't be willing to ask.

Meeting up with Pigpig and Jasmine tomorrow. =) Though I won't be meeting them for very long, approximately three hours each, it's still better than nothing. =)

Back to work tomorrow! =( Have a great Sunday!

Day thirty nine that my love is away, two days more to go before he returns!

2010-09-04T12:17:00.003+08:00

It's day thirty nine (the sixth and also the last weekend) that my love is away, two days more to go before he comes back.

Yesterday, rushed back home after work and packed my stuffs. Just before stepping into the bathroom to bathe at around 7pm, the doorbell rang. It was Ah Mah, Kuku, Kujie and Gerald. Was surprised to see them because I was supposed to meet them at 7.15pm at the lift lobby. Hurriedly went to bathe then we left my house.

We had our dinner at block 163 somewhere near 'Bukit Panjang' interchange. Afterwhich, all of us went back to my Grandma's house including me, since I was staying overnight. Used my lappy, watched television, and also chatted with Kuku. In the end, the both of us slept at almost 3am this morning!

When we woke up this morning, it was around 11.10am already. Grandma had cooked 'Laksa' for lunch, which was a good timing for us because she had cooked finished by the time we were done with washing up. Keith and Gerald came over too, and Keith requested my Grandma to make jelly for desserts.

After lunch, we were feeling full but Keith still managed to eat chocolate chip cookies and ice-cream! I wanted to eat the ice-cream too, but gave it to Gerald instead as I was too full. Doubt that I could digest anymore food. The only thing I had after that was only a little mouth of ice-cream, that's all.

Tummy hasn't been feeling well lately, had diarrhoea the past two days. Not sure if it's because of the amount of chilli I've been eating. Tummy churned alot as well, very uncomfortable. However, it's not to the extent that I needed to go and visit the doctor. I'll be fine and alright after a while!

It's a beautiful Saturday! Enjoy yourselves! Take care. =)

Day thirty eight that my love is away, three days more to go before he comes back!

2010-09-03T07:40:00.003+08:00

It's day thirty eight that my love is away in 'Tamworth', three days more to go before he returns.

Was very angry yesterday; seems like it's really a good time to leave and forget about that place. Really felt like retaliating and telling her off, but I still have to think of how it would affect Uncle Chin. Asked Ya Li if she needed help to prepare the ingredients for her dessert soup which she will be selling during the 'Charity Bazaar' today, and that woman just asked me to SHUT UP and SIT DOWN. How insulting and humiliating that was; when in the first place I didn't ask her and there were very little cases to handle.

Yvonne was saying that usually bosses will let their new staffs try and experience different activities held by the whole company or department. I was not given any opportunity to help nor do anything. The only thing I have been doing for almost a year is to do my work. That's all. It really doesn't affect me, not that it matters, but my genuine intention was to help Ya Li and not her. At least I volunteered to help out, and not sit back and let them do all the preparation. Does she even care and bother?

Another thing that made me angry is she's not understanding. Even my parents think the same way too! Wanted to take half day off in the afternoon on Monday (6 September) so that I can go home and prepare before going to the airport to pick my love up. However, she insisted that I can't take any off because Desmond is on one day leave. I am taking off and not leave, doesn't need her approval! I asked her if I can take off because I'm giving her face since she's my boss, if not I can just take and leave on Monday afternoon!

This morning, she INSULTED me again. Told me not to run around, in a way she was telling me not to skive and do my work. Reason being, Jaelle and I ordered 'Shaker Fries' that 'CMD' was selling for the bazaar to share between us, and needed to be collected at 10am so I asked her if she could collect it. However, Jaelle said she was busy so asked me to collect! Moreover, this place is not very huge so where can I go? If there aren't many cases to do, how am I supposed to handle them? So does that mean I am skiving?!

Well, I will just tolerate and see how things go. Parents doesn't disagree with what I think, and I have decided that once the time is right, I will leave. This is my first full time job and with the kind of boss I'm facing, I see no point in staying. What for I stay and get humiliated, insulted, embarrassed and criticized? She doesn't even care about people's feelings, so when the day comes where I can't take her nonsense, I can't imagine what will happen. She is already reaching my limit, and things might get ugly, who knows?

I shall not think about it anymore. Had already told my parents about my plans on leaving and they're supportive of it. Will not be bothered by her from now onwards; if she talks or laugh with me, I will think twice. If she asks me about anything personal, I will tell her that it's none of her business. Colleagues are very nice people, friendly and helpful with the exception of a handful. Environment is alright and Janice, who is my immediate supervisor, is a very nice lady. Shall wait for the appraisal to be done first before taking any action.

Thankfully, it's Friday already! Going to stay overnight at my Grandma's house tonight; and can spend time with my Grandma, watch cooking shows with Kuku, reminisce the good old days with Kujie. My sweet sweet love is coming back soon, can't wait to see him in three days! Time to relax during the weekends and not think about anything else. Have fun! =)

Day thirty seven that my love is away, four days more to go till he comes back! And he passed phase two of test one! =D

2010-09-02T07:42:00.002+08:00

It's day thirty seven that my love is away, four days more to go till he comes back.

Went back home after work yesterday, then parents, Bea and I headed to 'District 10' for dinner. We shared soup, salad, fries and two main courses between us. Portions were huge and we were full after eating. However, the service was so bad that I decided not to order any desserts because of the rude waitress.

Got back home around 8.30pm, showered then used my lappy. 9.30pm, Yvonne called me as she was on the way home. She was telling me about her lessons and assignments, and said the lecturer who conducted the lesson ended early so she was glad that she could go home and try to complete her assignment.

At 9.38pm, I received a call from my love! He had passed phase two of test one, which is also the final test for his 'AGC'! =D Very proud of him!! He'll be back on Monday, though the flight details are still unclear, so he will sms me once he knows the confirmed details. Since his credits were low and he was tired, we didn't chat for long.

After I had talked to my love, I went to tell my parents and Bea the good news. =) They were also very happy for him, and we'll be eating at 'Dom' (where they sell very yummy crab noodles) when he returns! Called Yvonne and told her the good news too, when I had finished talking to my parents and saying how happy I was. =)

For today and tomorrow, Janice is on course so the emails have to pass to Hung Yin for vetting. Something very good from the customer service side is that we had only eleven cases left in the system at 5.25pm yesterday when we knocked off. Usually there'll be more than twenty, but I guess that there weren't many cases yesterday.

Second day of September already! And I had checked earlier that there are not alot of cases today! What a good way to start the day, hopefully the whole day will be like that. =) Friday tomorrow! =D

Day thirty six that my love is away, five days more to go before he returns!

2010-09-01T07:38:00.004+08:00

Happy Teachers' Day!

It's day thirty six that my love is away in 'Tamworth', five days more to go before he returns!

My love gave me a call at 2.30pm yesterday, telling me that his second test will be held today and he will most probably be back by next Monday! =D We didn't talk for too long, about five minutes only because his credits had run low and we got cut off halfway.

As he will be having his test today, I'm actually rather worried for him. Really want him to do well and pass his 'AGC'. It's also his final test for this course, so I guess the expectation and standard will be much higher than the first. All the best my Baby!

Having dinner tonight with my parents at 'District 10'. A belated birthday dinner/celebration for Mummy and Bea since Bea had ended her prelims yesterday. If I'm not wrong, she has set aside three days to rest, a reward for herself for studying hard for prelims.

September is here! August had been a month of food, all thanks to the 'Charity Bazaar' that 'ST Electronics (e-Services)' are having on 3rd September to raise funds for the 'President's Star Charity'. The actual sales are on 3rd September, but pre-sales are in August.

Got to try out different food cooked by colleagues and also food that were out-sourced by other centres. Fishballs, chicken burgers, chicken wings, muffins, puddings/jellies, etc. There're alot more food, but I didn't try every single one of them. Too fattening!

Mid-week already, time really flies. Can't wait to see my love in five days and spend time with him. Missing him so much. =)

Day thirty five that my love is away, thirty one days more to go until he comes back

2010-08-31T07:44:00.002+08:00

It's day thirty five that my love is away, thirty one days more to go till he comes back.

Had early lunch yesterday at around 12.30pm because the system was suddenly down. After an hour or so, about 1.45pm, the system was alright again. Very unstable these few days.

Mummy prepared today's lunch for both Yvonne and I; 'Ikea' hotdog with bread (plus a packet of chilli each). I've two prunes again, plus bread with butter for breakfast.

Bea's last paper for her prelims later in the afternoon, and she doesn't have to go to school tomorrow since it's 'Teacher's Day'. Good timing for her to rest abit after studying so hard.

Dinner with my family tomorrow night, as a belated birthday celebration for Bea and Mummy since Bea was busy studying for her prelims the past few weeks.

Ten days since I received a call from my love. Really hope that I'll hear from him soon. I'm wondering how is he doing and when will his next test be. Missing him so much.

Closed a total of fifty eight cases yesterday. Didn't expect to hit such a high number. And now I have to settle my cases, although it isn't as much as yesterday. Take care!

Day thirty four that my love is away, thirty two days more to go till he returns

2010-08-30T07:41:00.004+08:00

It's day thirty four that my love is away, thirty two days more to go until he returns.

Didn't really have a good sleep last night. Kept waking up in the middle of the night and had difficulty falling back to sleep. I was very tired, yet laid in bed from three plus till I heard my mum's alarm clock ring at 5.35am.

Twenty two working days (with four weekends = eight days) left to get through before I can see my love again. It's already nine days since I heard from him, wondering how's he doing. Not sure when will his second test be, but I know he'll make it. =)

Monday is here again, four days more to Friday. Having Monday blues especially when it seems like a gloomy morning. A very good time to sleep in and snuggle in bed. Lucky Bea can get to sleep till 8am since she has no paper today, instead of waking up at 6.10am.

Breakfast is bread with ham, prepared by Mummy. Additional to that I have two prunes and organic salad (Daddy bought them from 'NTUC') for lunch. Feel very blessed that I have my meals prepared/thought of by them and not have the temptation to eat unhealthy food.

Lots of supporting documents to index again! Why can't they hire another person to do data capturing, rather than borrow someone from the customer service side to help out? Initially there were three data capturers, now left with two, with Kumarie and I helping them out occasionally.

Going off now, have to help index the supporting documents already. Let time fly so that Monday can be over soon.....

Day thirty three that my love is away, thirty three days more to go before he comes back

2010-08-29T11:14:00.002+08:00

It's day thirty three that my love is away, thirty three days more to go before he comes back.

Woke up around 11am today. Slept rather late last night as I was accompanying Bea again. Her last paper for prelims will be on Tuesday, then after that will be A Levels in three months.

Parents are now at 'NTUC', buying groceries, fruits and household necessities as usual. They will have their lunch there first then buy back lunch for Bea and I. =)

Lighting up the fifth light stick tonight, four more light sticks to go! I'm sure he's able to pass his second test, no matter how tough it'll be. Can't wait for him to be back soon with good news! =)

Although it's been eight days since I received a call from my love, I'm still praying hard that he's alright and doing fine. He must be studying very hard for his second test. =)

Missing that sillyboy of mine, with his sweet sweet voice that never fails to assure me and make me smile. Hopefully he'll be back soon.....

Back to work tomorrow and Janice will be on leave so all emails will have to be vetted by Hung Yin instead. Shall not think about it first. Enjoy your Sunday! Take care.

Day thirty two that my love is away, thirty four days more to go until he returns

2010-08-28T13:35:00.004+08:00

It's day thirty two (and also the fifth weekend) that my love is away, thirty four days more to go till he returns.

Went for facial this morning at 11am at 'Tiong Bahru'. Since it was a normal facial, it lasted for slightly more than an hour. Initially, was supposed to be having the soothing facial but due to miscommunication, I ended up getting the normal one instead.

After the facial, went to meet my parents then headed back home. Had cornflakes and fresh milk for lunch, since I didn't know what to eat and wasn't very hungry. Parents bought 'Mushroom Noodles' for Bea, who was busy studying at home.

Missing my love so much, been a week since I received a call from him. Even though there were occasional emails and writing on 'Facebook' wall(s), it's still cannot be compared to hearing from him and knowing how is he doing.

He has one more test to go, which is phase two of test one, before he's able to return back. I'm sure he'll do well and is able to pass with flying colours. =) In the meantime, he has to study very hard and pay full attention to his flight trainings.

I'm still hoping that he'll come back earlier, to spend quality time with him, have our lazy days together, etc. Miss his cheeky ways, miss him being my 'Pokemon', miss him caring about me, miss his assuring hugs, miss everything about him.

Feeling a little emotional now, probably because it's the longest time we've been apart. I will be fine in awhile though, because I know that he loves me, and that's all that matters. Not to worry Baby, of course I love you too. =)

Day thirty one that my love is away in Tamworth, thirty five days more to go before he returns

2010-08-27T07:42:00.003+08:00

It's day thirty one that my love is away in 'Tamworth', thirty five days more to go until he comes back.

System was still very slow yesterday. I indexed more supporting documents than handling calls or emails. Kumarie indexed fresh claims till mid-afternoon before doing her cases.

It was said that most of the people in 'MUP' branch has to come back tomorrow to do overtime, and our side is currently on time since the tasks had been spreaded out.

Friday's here at last, and when the weekend arrives, it's going to be my love's fifth weekend in 'Tamworth'. I'm sure he'll enjoy himself these two days with his course mates again. =)

Has been six days since I talked to my love, wondering how he's doing. Hopefully he's sleeping well, having sufficient rest, not sleeping too late and studying hard.

For today, Rajes is on off and I saw a stack of supporting documents that Hung Yin printed out. No doubt it'll be me who will do the indexing of them later.

Many things to do already. Have to go! Enjoy your Friday!

Day thirty that my love is away, thirty six days more to go till he returns

2010-08-26T07:44:00.002+08:00

It's day thirty that my love is away, thirty six days more to go before he returns.

The system was slow the whole of yesterday, making it hard for everyone to do their work. I even had to help index supporting documents instead of doing emails or calls while Kumarie had to index fresh claims. Luckily there weren't many cases so Desmond was able to handle it.

Hung Yin requested that the programmer come to our office and check on it. She even used the company's camera to record how slow the system was in loading the page(s) as proof so that the programmer can bring up the issue during their internal meeting.

This morning, bus 970 came about seven minutes earlier than usual and was quite crowded. Lots of people had to stand and one auntie kept looking around to find a seat for herself. When she finally spotted one, she pushed past the crowd just to have that seat.

Reached the office and not long later, I heard Hung Yin talking loudly again. It was because she was talking to Rajes but Rajes didn't get what she meant about having outstanding fresh claims from Tuesday (If we still have fresh claims from two days ago, it means that we're late).

With the slow system, the 'MUP' branch has to be back on Saturday to clear their claims. Hung Yin is trying to spread out the indexing of fresh claims and supporting documents so we don't have to work overtime on Saturday too.

There's alot of supporting documents again today, got to help the 'Data Capturing' team to index again. Kumarie's already indexing the fresh claims, so Desmond will be handling the calls alone for the time being. Hopefully the system will be alright soon.

Got to start indexing soon, then get back to replying the emails and calls. Guess it's going to be another busy day, just like yesterday.

Day twenty nine that my love is away, thirty seven days more to go before he returns

2010-08-25T07:50:00.002+08:00

It's day twenty nine that my love is away, thirty seven days more to go till he comes back.

Helped Ah Lay to pierce through the 'Ginko Nuts' again yesterday after lunch. There were a lot more to pierce as compared to Monday, luckily Jaelle helped with some if not it take a long time.

Parents picked me up from work in the evening after their movie (Yvonne too), then we waited for their food to be ready (they bought 'Claypot Rice' from 'Blue Top') before going back home.

No birthday cake for Mummy yesterday. She didn't want it and to her, having a simple dinner with us at home is enough. We'll have a belated birthday dinner for her when Bea's prelims end.

Emailed my love in the afternoon and evening, and received two replies. =) His internet expires on 28 August so he wouldn't be online after that. However, he thinks he'll be back soon too!

As for today, I've salad for lunch which Daddy bought for me with four plums to eat before or after lunch. Breakfast is three mini chocolate buns that Mummy prepared for me. Blessed. =)

Mid-week already, can't wait for time to pass quickly. Praying hard that my love will do well for phase two of test one and will be able to return earlier. My Baby, I'm missing you.

Day twenty eight that my love is away, thirty eight days more to go before he returns

2010-08-24T07:52:00.003+08:00

Happy Birthday Mummy! =)

It's day twenty eight that my love is away for his 'AGC', thirty eight days more to go before he returns.

Yesterday, I helped my colleague, Ah Lay, to pierce through 'Ginko Nuts' to get the centre part out as it was said to be bitter. She will be making 'Barley Ginko Nuts Dessert' this Friday and had to prepare the ingredients in advance. After piercing through so many 'Ginko Nuts', my fingers had the smell lingering on them despite washing it with soap many times.

Was raining heavily around 5pm in the evening, and I had to carry two paper bags. One paper bag contained my jacket (which had some hand soap on it so I brought it home to wash) while another paper bag contained two 'Mango Puddings', one 'Coffee Pudding' and two packets of 'Spicy Barbecue Sunflower Seeds'. When I left the office at 5.25pm, it was only drizzling.

Mummy's birthday today and Daddy's on half day leave. This morning, parents sent Bea to school then sent me to work before they went to have breakfast together. It's a blessing that Daddy doesn't have to go to 'Malaysia' so that he can celebrate Mummy's birthday with us. However, I'm unsure if Daddy will be getting a birthday cake for her, will ask him later.

When I got to work, switched on both my desktop then went to wash my bottle and filled it with water. After being scalded by the hot water previously, I was always cautious when I fill my bottle with hot water. Sometimes the water just surges through and there will be a big gush of hot water, just like this morning. Luckily I controlled the tap if not I'll get scalded again.

System had been very slow since last week, very hard for us to do our work. One moment it will be very quick, and the next moment it will take very long to load. The programmer came down last Friday to check on our system, and all of us had been trying to be patient. While waiting for the system to load whenever it's slow, we'll end up walking around or eating snacks.

Tuesday already, and Monday had already passed in the blink of an eye. Time seem to pass rather quickly recently, and I'm definitely not complaining. It's no doubt a good thing and I'm enjoying it. Can't wait to see my love again. =)

Day twenty seven that my love is away, thirty nine days more to go before he comes back

2010-08-23T07:40:00.002+08:00

It's day twenty seven that my love is away, thirty nine days more to go until he comes back.

Celebrated Mummy's birthday in advance yesterday at my Grandma's house. Her birthday cake's flavour was 'Lychee Martini' and though it was rather creamy (the cream is where the alcohol was contained), it wasn't too sweet.

Tomorrow's Mummy's birthday, and the good news is Daddy doesn't have to go to 'Malaysia' for business trip. =) This means that we'll be able to celebrate her birthday together and Daddy's also taking half day leave to spend time with her.

Had lighted up the fourth light stick last night, and I'm almost halfway through the nine light sticks already. Five more to light up before he returns, and even though it may seem quite long, at least it's brings me five weeks nearer to his arrival date.

As of today, I've twenty seven working days (with five weekends = ten days) left to get through. One more public holiday on 10 September; 'Hari Raya Puasa' (I'm sure many people are looking forward to it) and three weeks later, he will be back. =)

Hung Yin's on half day afternoon leave from today to Wednesday, and I think the 'Ops' branch's area will be quiet and more relaxed. Not that I'm saying she's very noisy, just that when she talks to other colleagues, she'll talk rather loudly.

Start of a brand new week with a new colleague in the 'MUP' branch, who is actually a friend of Teck Kiow. From what I know, there are too many claims and the 'MUP' branch is understaffed, that's why they need to recruit people.

Alright, going off now. Have a great Monday!

Day twenty six that my love is away in Tamworth, forty days more to go till he returns

2010-08-22T11:03:00.002+08:00

It's day twenty six that my love is away in 'Tamworth', forty days more to go before he returns.

He called me last night around eleven plus, but I didn't take note of how long we chatted. If I'm not wrong it's about ten minutes or slightly longer. We didn't talk for very long, as it was already one plus in 'Tamworth'. At least we got to talk and update each other. =)

Since he had taken phase one of test one last Wednesday and had passed it, he has one more test to take and pass (which is phase two of test one) before it's considered that he pass 'AGC'. So now it's more studying and preparing for the second test.

That sillyboy of mine made me so touched by calling so late and he was rather sleepy already. At least I know that he had fun and enjoyed himself with his course mates during their Commander's house visiting which was partially why he was tired.

August will be ending in approximately 1.5weeks, then September will arrive and my love will return soon! Will be lighting up the fourth light stick tonight, and thinking back, three weeks had passed already. Though it doesn't seem to pass quickly, it's better than nothing.

Dinner tonight at my Grandma's house, and also celebrating Mummy's birthday in advance. It's supposed to be a surprise, with an alcoholic birthday cake for her if Kuku manages to get it later in the afternoon. Mental note: bring my camera!

Back to work tomorrow, another five days work week again. In that case, enjoy Sunday first! =) Take care!

Day twenty five that my love is away, forty one days more to go before he returns; Happy Thirty Eighth Monthsary Baby!!

2010-08-21T12:01:00.003+08:00

Happy Thirty Eighth Monthsary Baby!! =D

It's day twenty five that my love is away, forty one days more to go till he comes back.

Didn't have a good sleep last night, kept tossing and turing around. I can't fall asleep despite feeling sleepy and tired. I think I only managed to sleep around 4am.

Mummy went for facial this morning at 'Tiong Bahru', and after she ends, she'll take a train to 'West Mall' and Daddy's going to pick her up there.

Parents will be going out tonight for dinner at 'Fullerton Hotel' with Uncle Chin and the usual people to celebrate Mummy's birthday in advance. Bea and I might order take-away food again.

Lighting up my fourth light stick tomorrow night, and will have five more left to light up before he comes back. Looking at it whenever it's lighted up reminds me of him and makes me smile.

Feeling very full now, Daddy bought back lunch for Bea and I. Although it's not very nice, it's still edible, though I didn't manage to finish it. Did not enjoy the taste at all.

After waiting for so long, Saturday is finally here. Enjoy your weekend! =)

Day twenty four that my love is away, forty two days more before he returns

2010-08-20T07:52:00.002+08:00

It's day twenty four that my love is away for his 'AGC', forty two days more to go before he returns.

He called me around 2.10pm yesterday afternoon, and we talked for about eight minutes. That sillyboy passed phase one of test one! Very proud of him that he made it, and definitely so happy for him too. =)

Chatted, updated each other on the events that happened the past few days and also reminded him to be safe and careful. Tomorrow, he'll be going to I-don't-know-which-commander's house with his course mates, enjoy yourself!

Daddy sent me to work this morning as it was raining heavily. 'AYE' was a little congested and vehicles were moving slowly. Thanks to Daddy who sent me to work, if not I might get caught in the rain. =)

Will be having lunch at 'Rocky Master' with Yvonne and George later, and most probably I'll end up eating 'Pasta' again. The food's alright, though a tad on the expensive side and it takes quite awhile to be served.

Tomorrow is love and my 38th monthsary, and next Tuesday is Mummy's birthday. Since Daddy will be flying off to 'Malaysia' on Monday evening for business trip, we'll be celebrating it earlier, maybe on Sunday at my Grandma's house.

Friday is finally here! Enjoy your weekend! =)

Day twenty three that my love is away, forty three days more to go before he returns

2010-08-19T07:43:00.002+08:00

It's day twenty three that my love is away, forty three days more to go until he comes back.

The journey to work this morning was smooth, no traffic jam(s) at all because only primary six students have to go to school for their 'PSLE' oral examination.

Got to work rather early as compared to the past few days, the drivers for both buses (970 and 195) were driving very fast and rushing through amber lights.

System (intranet) is currently down, leaving most of us unable to do any work. At least I can reply some cases that doesn't need to use the system, unlike the verifiers/approvers/payroll department.

Kumarie will be going to the doctor later as she's unwell, which means I got to cover her outstanding cases. Unfortunately, she has lots of cases that are assigned to her.

Going to clear all that I can from my side before I touch on any of her cases, unless they have been transferred to me by Janice.

Friday tomorrow! Can't wait!

Day twenty two that my love is away, forty four days more to go before he comes back

2010-08-18T07:56:00.002+08:00

It's day twenty two that my love is away in 'Tamworth', forty four days more to go before he returns.

My love may be taking his first flight test today (either today or tomorrow); hopefully the weather is good and there isn't any air turbulence. Good luck Baby!! =)

Bea's having 'GP' prelims paper this morning, and she's worried that she'll get too nervous and then forget to use linking words for the essay. Not to worry Bea, you'll make it!

Haven't been sleeping well lately. Once I wake up in the middle of the night, I'll have difficulty falling back to sleep. It's only during Friday and Saturday nights that I'm able to sleep well.

The sky's rather dark, seems like it's going to rain heavily later. It had been raining in the evening for the past two days, luckily it wasn't too heavy that I need to use an umbrella.

Mid-week already! Three more days to the weekend, can get to rest and not wake up early for work. Grandma's house for dinner too!

I'm missing that sillyboy of mine so much. =)

Day twenty one that my love is away, forty five days more to go until he comes back

2010-08-17T08:03:00.002+08:00

It's day twenty one that my love is away, forty five days more to go till he comes back.

Had been coughing since last night, minor sore throat too. Think I had caught it from my mother, who had been coughing since last week.

Bea's having her first prelims paper today, and she's very nervous. She has been studying very hard and sleeping very little; good luck Bea, you can do it!

My love is having his first flight test on either tomorrow or Thursday. Worried for him because it's his first test and the standard there is very high.

Four days more to love and my 38th monthsary, and exactly a week more before Mummy's birthday! Daddy's also flying to 'Malaysia' for a business trip next week.

Got to start working already. Janice is on a one day course so she isn't in the office today. Quite a number of calls that came in, I think most can be handled by today.

Have a great Tuesday!

Day twenty that my love is away in Tamworth, forty six days more to go before he comes back

2010-08-16T07:40:00.005+08:00

It's day twenty that my love is away for his 'AGC', forty six days more to go before he returns.

My love called me at 9.36pm last night and we chatted for about thirteen minutes and fifty seconds. He's having his first test on either Wednesday or Thursday, and I'm sure he'll do well! =) He had also tried 'Hog's Breath Cafe' (it should taste nicer than the outlet at 'Chijmes' since it originated from 'Australia') and said watching a movie there costs S$15.

We didn't talk too long as it was almost 12midnight in 'Tamworth' and he had to sleep. Joined him in bed after I helped him to edit the drafted email (with my dad's help too. Thanks Daddy!) for his appeal, attached the relevant pictures as evidence and then sent the email to 'SPF' regarding his fine. Really hope the fine will be waived and he doesn't have to pay $70.

As of today, there are thirty two more working days (with six weekends = twelve days) more to get through till 30 September. Praying hard that he will be able to come back earlier, and of course with good news too. =)

My Babyboy, I'm missing you.

Day nineteen that my love is away for his AGC, forty seven days until he comes back

2010-08-15T11:08:00.008+08:00

It's day nineteen that my love is away for his 'AGC', forty seven days more to go till he comes back.

Yesterday afternoon, after my lunch, I went to watch television from around 12plus to 3.30pm. Went to 'Facebook' and saw a post on my 'Wall' from my love which he wrote at 2.30pm! He wrote "hey baby!!" and I replied him with a "hello!!". Was rather upset that I missed the time when he was online, if not I could have chatted with him for awhile. =(

It has been five days (including today) since I heard his voice, get an update on his life and to know how's he doing. Worried if he can cope with his flight trainings/tests/studies even though I can't help much. The most I can do is to listen and give him my fullest support.

I'm going to light up the third light stick tonight, and have six more light sticks left to light up. Still unsure if my love is coming back earlier, if not I will have to light up only three more light sticks and then he'll be back.

Going to have my lunch already, quite hungry. Parents just came back from 'NTUC' with groceries and lunch for Bea and I. Daddy also bought 'Cranberries Cheese Bread' for my colleague, Rajes, as she asked if he could buy it for her. She really liked it alot after I gave her one piece to try three weeks ago.

I really like the below picture. The way he looks at me, the way he had his hand on my head, the way I had my arms around him... Missing you so much Baby.

Day eighteen that my love is away, forty eight days left until he returns

2010-08-14T11:40:00.002+08:00

It's day eighteen (and also the third weekend) that my love is away, forty eight days left before he returns.

Had 'KFC' for lunch with Hung Yin, Janice and Jaelle yesterday at 'Bukit Merah Central'. Hung Yin also bought six 'KFC Egg Tarts' for the four of us to share, which I thought was a nice gesture from her. Lunch time is actually from 1pm to 1.45pm, but we went out at 1.05pm and came back an hour later.

As for today, I woke up at 11.27am as I slept at 1.45am the night before. Was using my laptop while accompanying Bea as she studied but went to bed earlier than her as I was very tired.

Lighting up my third light stick tomorrow. =) The previous two light sticks lasted only till Wednesday nights so I presume that the lifespan of the light stick is approximately three days.

Dinner at my Grandma's house tonight, but Bea won't be joining us because she wants to study. As usual, my parents will bring containers over to pack some food for Bea so that she can eat after we reach home.

Shall read my book now! Have a great weekend! =)

Day seventeen that my love is away for his AGC, forty nine days more to go till he comes back

2010-08-13T08:00:00.004+08:00

It's day seventeen that my love is away, forty nine days more to go until he comes back.

Daddy went to 'Southern Shoal Island' yesterday in the late afternoonwith Uncle Sandy and some of his family members. Mummy, Bea and I didn't join him and we ordered take-away dinner from 'Pastamania'. Daddy will be back this evening as he didn't want to stay all the way till weekend.

Bea was the one who took advantage of the fact that Daddy wasn't home to study in my parents' bedroom. My dad always want us to study in the study room because it has proper lighting, and Bea likes to go into the bedroom to study because she can sit on the comfortable bed and relax while studying.

It's finally Friday, and also 'Friday The 13th'. Going to my Grandma's house for dinner during the weekend, and I can also catch up on my sleep during these two days.

Can't wait for time to fly, to see my love again. Hopefully he's doing well for his flight trainings and studies, having enough sleep and keeping himself warm. Missing that cheeky 'Pokemon' of mine, using his 'skills' to disturb me and never failing to make me smile. =)

Lots of cases to clear again, and there will be a new staff joining our centre soon. However, she will be joining the 'Make Up Pay' branch. The new staff is actually Teck Kiow's friend, and she came to our office yesterday so Evon gave her a mini tour around the office. Anyway, got to handle the cases now!

Day sixteen that my love is away in Tamworth, fifty days more to go till he comes back

2010-08-12T07:42:00.002+08:00

It's day sixteen that my love is away in 'Tamworth', fifty days more to go before he returns.

Yesterday, when I was in the bus reaching home in a few stops, the bus driver slammed on the brakes and an old lady fell down on and hit her head. Some of the passengers rushed forward to assist her, while some looked on in shock. After the old lady alighted, she kept rubbing her head and the bus driver went down the bus to enquire on her injury. She said she was alright and the bus driver apologized to her. Afterwhich, he went up to the bus and drove off.

I could hear alot of people complaining about the way the bus driver drove. At least he apologized to the old lady and she was feeling fine despite her injury. If not, the bus driver could have given her his contact number and if there are medical bills to settle, he can pay for her as compensation. I just think that we should all hold the hand rails or poles tightly while standing in the bus, and also to be careful even if we're alighting in the next stop.

Last night's dinner was something different from our usual 'Mixed Vegetable Rice' since it was Bea's birthday. We had rice with 'Thai Chicken', 'Kang Kong', 'Egg with Vegetables' and 'Bok Chai with Sliced Fish'. Quite filling that I can't finish my rice and chicken. The egg was delicious, so was the vegetables with fish. I don't really fancy 'Kang Kong' and the chicken was a little salty. Nonetheless, I enjoyed my meal and it didn't leave me with a growling stomach.

In the night, I sent my love an email in eight parts. All the eight parts had music attachments to it because my love likes listening to music. Even when he's studying, he also likes to listen to music. Hence, I sent him most of the new songs that we heard in Jabin's car together, so that the songs can accompany him while he studies. I wasn't able to send the songs in one compressed file since the file would be too big and 'Hotmail' only allows 10 MB.

I almost forgotten - Janice also gave me a 'Chip&Dale' book before I knocked off yesterday which she bought for her daughter initially. However, she knows how much I love the two chipmunks, so she gave it to me, saying that I wouldn't be able to sleep in the night as I will keep thinking about the book. I wanted to return her the money ($3.90) but she kept refusing, saying it was a small sum and take it as a gift from her.

Lots of cases to clear today, and I'm wondering if I can clear most of it by today. Especially since most of the cases that I have are emails and all emails (emails that are going to be sent out by either Kumarie, Desmond, Poh Wah or I) have to be vetted by Janice. To vett all emails is actually not Janice's idea, it's Hung Yin's order as she said that she wants quality reply from our centre. 95% of the emails are using standard replies, and the rest has to be modified by us.

Going to start on my emails soon! Have a great Thursday! =)

Day fifteen that my love is away, fifty one days more to go till he returns

2010-08-11T07:43:00.003+08:00

Happy Birthday Bea!

It's day fifteen that my love is away, fifty one days more to go until he comes back.

On the way home with Yvonne yesterday (she took bus 970 with me as she had lesson at 'SIM' in the evening), we alighted at the bus stop outside 'King Albert Park' and went to 'Island Creamery'. I bought a tub of 'Very Berry' ice cream, a slice of 'Mud Pie' and a little cupcake (the 'Mud Pie' and cupcake was Bea's birthday present from my love, Yvonne and I) whereas she bought a tub of 'Reverso' ice cream for her father.

After buying, we walked back to the bus stop and she took a bus to 'SIM' while I went home. By the time I reached home, it was close to 6.45pm. Unpacked the food, showered, then ate my dinner. Used my laptop for awhile and when it was 9pm, took out the 'Mud Pie' for Bea to eat. Sad to say, she wasn't surprised at all and said she knew it all along. =( The cupcake is meant for her breakfast on her birthday itself, this morning.

Went to bed around 10.15pm. However, I managed to wish Bea a Happy Birthday at twelve midnight. Had to answer the call of nature and since she was still studying, I wished her and gave her a hug before going back to bed. Was very tired and I fell asleep almost immediately, though the birthday girl studied till rather late again.

Yesterday was also the first day of the 'Hungry Ghost Festival' and it'll end on 7 September. There are quite a number of urns around my area with neighbours were burning joss papers and had the prayer joss sticks. Even the path outside 'CMPB' there were people burning incense. Quite a lot of taboos for this one month with regards to the 'Hungry Ghost Festival', and this month is also the fasting month for the 'Malays'.

Daddy will be going to 'Southern Shoal Island' tomorrow afternoon till Friday with his friend(s) and Mummy might be joining him. Initially Daddy wanted Bea and I to join him, make it a family outing/stayover, but I don't have enough leave to spare and Bea needs to study. Moreover, I've been there before when I was in Secondary two/three and they don't have internet access.

Before I end this entry, I wish my dearest sister a wonderful 18th birthday and all the best for her A Levels! Love you! =)

Afternoon call from my love =)

2010-08-10T13:02:00.004+08:00

My love called me at 12.51pm and we talked till 12.58pm! =)

He apologized again for not calling me for the past few days, and that he misses me so much. =) Although he has no flight training today (because of some National Day parade thing) and it will resume tomorrow, he still has to study the notes.

That sillyboy of mine enjoyed himself during the weekend, playing 'Mahjong' with his course mates at his course commander's house and got to drink fruity wine. He also had fun yesterday during National Day even though it was slightly boring, and he managed to watch the National Day Parade as they had live streaming in 'Tamworth'.

Very contented that I managed to hear his sweet sweet voice again despite our seven minute long conversation. To know he's having fun amidst the tough trainings and studying, adapting to the weather and be updated on his life there. He also wanted me to help him wish Bea a Happy Birthday as he isn't sure if he can call her tomorrow.

We didn't talk too long as he had to study and I had to take my lunch. Ended the call on a perfect note and hung up (there're actually alot of other things we talked to each other about, but I didn't type it all down because it's just between the both of us. Hee).

My love, I can't wait to hear your lovely voice again. =)

Day fourteen that my love is away in Tamworth, fifty two days left before he comes back

2010-08-10T07:40:00.002+08:00

It's day fourteen that my love is away, fifty two days more to go before he returns.

Bea's birthday tomorrow, but according to her, she doesn't feel any excitement because next week is the start of her prelims for her A Levels. She has been studying very hard and getting minimum sleep; studies till about 2plus everday and wakes up at 6.15am to go to school.

Eleven days to love and my 38th monthsary and exactly two weeks to Mummy's birthday. During Mummy's birthday week, there's a high chance that Daddy has to go overseas for a business trip so probably we'll celebrate her birthday in advance.

The sky looks very dark and gloomy, raining rather heavily now. I hope that the weather in 'Tamworth' is good, so that my love and his course mates will have good weather conditions to have their flight training.

Lots of cases inside the 'CRM', must be due to the long weekend. Quite a number of critical cases too, and I've some cases that are due today. Got to start calling soon. Take care!

My Baby, I miss you.

Day thirteen that my love is away for his AGC, fifty three days more before he comes back

2010-08-09T11:08:00.002+08:00

Happy Birthday Singapore!

It's day thirteen that my love is away, fifty three days left till he comes back.

He should be having fun in 'Tamworth' now, celebrating National Day with his coursemates, instructors and big shot(s). If I'm not wrong, it's his first time celebrating it overseas, it's a totally new experience. =)

Lighted up the second light stick last night, and it seemed brighter than the first! Like the first light stick, I hung it near the window before I went to bed and it lighted up the whole room. No wonder Bea complained she had to cover her eyes with her blanket when she slept last night.

From today, I've thirty seven working days (with seven weekends = fourteen days) more to get through till 30 September. I'm still counting down to that day is because it isn't confirmed that he's coming back earlier.

For those who are working, it's back to work tomorrow. At least this week has four working days so it's considered a short week. The next public holiday will be in September already. Enjoy your Monday!

Day twelve that my Baby is away, fifty four days left before he returns

2010-08-08T09:54:00.003+08:00

It's day twelve that my love is away, fifty four days more to go before he returns.

National Day tomorrow and it's a public holiday! Don't have to wake up so early and go to work, and this week has only four working days. Bea's birthday is on Wednesday, and she doesn't have to go to school as it's study week. So this year she gets to rest at home on her birthday, though not literally because she still has to study for her A Levels.

I'm not sure if my love has flight training tomorrow, but I hope he gets to rest too. He'll be celebrating our National Day with the big shot(s) over there with his course mates and instructors, and they have to wear a red shirt each. I'm sure he'll enjoy himself, celebrating National Day in another country for the first time. =)

I'll be lighting up the second light stick tonight, and then there'll be seven light sticks left to light up. I'm hoping that I don't have to light up seven light sticks, because if his course really ends in six weeks, I'll have to light up only four more.

Going to have 'Vegetarian Noodles' for lunch soon. Have a wonderful Sunday!

I'm missing you, my Baby. =)

Day eleven that my love is in Tamworth, fifty five days more before he comes back

2010-08-07T11:11:00.003+08:00

It's day eleven (and also the second weekend) that my love is away, fifty five days more to go until he comes back.

At times, I will feel that time passes really quickly but sometimes I will feel otherwise. He's been there for two weekends already (seemed so fast), yet there're seven more weekends (still counting down to 30 September till I know it's confirmed that he'll be back on an earlier flight) to get through.

Going to light up the second light stick tomorrow night! The first one lasted till Wednesday night; it has faint light coming from it but on Thursday morning there wasn't any light anymore. I was quite fascinated by the light stick because light sticks usually last one or two days, but this light stick lasted for three days!

Parents and Bea will be going to 'Bukit Merah' for lunch and then buy back for me. I think they'll be going to 'Ikea' to get the 'sausages' too. Actually, I'm not really very hungry but maybe in two hours time I will be.

Going to read my book already. Enjoy your Saturday!

Lovely call from my sweet sweet love!

2010-08-06T21:12:00.004+08:00

My dearest love called me at 8.49pm! =)

That sillyboy of mine apologized for not calling me last night and said he wanted to but just can't. He tried calling my house and handphone but wasn't able to connect through. I told him it was okay because it wasn't his fault.

I'm relieved that he has recovered from his flu and feeling much better already. However, he said that flying a plane is hard, but he enjoyed himself especially today where he got to do aerobics in the air. Feeling very happy for him that he's learning alot and having fun.

Asked him to go to bed early as it was already about 11.10pm in 'Tamworth'. However, he wanted to watch a few episodes of 'How I Met Your Mother' first, so I told him to sleep early and not watch till too late. Since it's Saturday tomorrow, he doesn't have to wake up early and can sleep slightly longer.

We talked for twenty one minutes and twenty nine seconds tonight. Glad to hear his sweet sweet voice, knowing that he's alright and we got to update each other on the past few days events. We're going to pig out when he returns! =)

Going to sleep soon, very tired. Parents are not home yet as they went to eat 'durians' after the celebration with Uncle Chin and the usual people. Have a great weekend!

Day ten that my love is away in Tamworth, fifty six days more before he returns

2010-08-06T07:43:00.002+08:00

It's day ten that my love is away in 'Tamworth' for his 'AGC', fifty six days left before he returns.

Yesterday, my parents came to pick me up from work (Yvonne too). Afterwhich, sent Yvonne to 'Commonwealth' MRT Station then we went to Bea's school and waited for her to end before we went home. Had 'Sushi' for dinner that Mummy bought from 'Cold Storage', and parents also had 'Sardines' with bread.

There's a new technology in my house which Daddy bought when he was at 'Plaza Singapura' with Mummy yesterday - the 'iPad'. Bea and I couldn't believe our eyes when we saw it because it is so unlike Daddy to buy something without researching much and he doesn't like to buy high-end technology. It like a bigger version of the 'iTouch', but I'll find out soon enough.

Will be having lunch with Yvonne and George later at 'Rocky Master'. After lunch, we'll have go back to the office for awhile then leave at 2.30pm for 'Town Hall' as we have to be seated by 2.50pm. Everyone's encouraged to come in Red and White attire as there will be a 'National Day Observance Ceremony'. However, I see most of my colleagues wearing either Red or White and not both.

Today's Friday, hope that my love gets to study and catch up on his sleep during the weekend. I also hope he has recovered from his flu and is feeling better. At least they have free/leisure time during the weekend and can relax.

Just heard Hung Yin and another colleague of mine 'arguing' loudly about some work issue. In the end, my colleague shouted at her and stormed off, red in the face. It's not the first time the both of them 'argued' about work related matters, but this the first time I saw my colleague shouting and walked away. Most of us were shocked yet unable to do anything.

Unofficial half day and everyone's mood seemed very relaxed. Our customer service area don't have a lot of cases to close as well so we can take our time to go through the cases. Long weekend to look forward to!

Day nine that my love is away, fifty seven days more before he returns

2010-08-05T07:35:00.002+08:00

It's day nine that my love is away, fifty seven days more to go before he comes back.

When I reached home yesterday evening, I switched on my laptop and went online. Also went to my blog and saw my love's tag to me! =) I knew it was him; he used 'donkey' as his name and wrote the word 'peekaboo!!' as a message. =)) Replied him with 'i see you!!" before I went to bathe.

Though he didn't come online after I replied, I was contented to see his tag. Wrote an email to him as well, since it was a few days since I wrote one to him. The email was slightly different from the previous three emails that I sent to him when he is in 'Tamworth'; it had an attachment inside (a picture that I took from the internet but I edited it with some drawings of my own).

This morning, parents sent me to work after sending Bea to school. Daddy's on leave today to celebrate Mummy's birthday with her in advance. He will not be able to celebrate with her on the actual day as he may have to go overseas for business trip. They'll be going to the 'Singapore Flyer' as my love and I gave her the 25% discount voucher for purchase of tickets (We bought movie tickets from 'Golden Village' and they have this card for you to play at the lottery machine. Spinned and we had the 25% discount voucher. Since my love and I had been there before and my parents wanted to go, we decided that they'll be the ones who will need it more than us.) as her birthday present.

There's 'Town Hall' tomorrow at 3pm and we have to leave the office by 2.30pm so it's considered a half day. It usually ends early so I think it'll end at 5pm the latest. Parents will be having a first-month birthday celebration to attend [The birthday boy is Uncle Sandy's (Daddy's friend since his Army days) son's son] tomorrow night.

Got to start working already, Janice is trying to clear all the calls and emails so that we will not have alot to do tomorrow. Have alot to cases that I need to clear today even though the due date is on 10 August. Just wondering why some people set their severity as 'high' but they don't pick up the calls. Okay, going off now!

Day eight that my love is away, fifty eight days more before he returns

2010-08-04T07:52:00.003+08:00

It's day eight that my love is away in 'Tamworth', fifty eight days left before he returns.

Rather worried for him last night; he wasn't feeling well but still had to study. Hopefully he has sufficient rest so that he has enough energy for his training today. The weather is quite cold over there and I really pray hard that he's keeping himself warm.

Went to bed last night and saw that the light stick was still lighted up. I was shocked because I thought the most it will last was till yesterday morning. This morning, it was still lighted up and it's already more than forty eight hours!

A week more to Bea's birthday, seventeen days to love and my thirty eight monthsary, and twenty days to Mummy's birthday. I'm still wondering what to buy for Bea and her present will be shared between my love and I (maybe Yvonne too).

Mid-week already, two more days to Friday. Long weekend ahead to look forward to. Bea has the whole of next week as her study week so she doesn't have to go to school. Her A Level prelims are approaching in two weeks and has to study really hard.

It's going to rain very heavily soon, sky seems rather dark and gloomy. Office will become freezing cold again, but I've the blazer that my love bought for me to keep me warm. =)

I'll sleep with lovely dreams tonight.....

2010-08-03T19:38:00.006+08:00

One thing I know for sure, is that I'll be smiling to myself to sleep tonight...

Received a call from my love at 7.18pm and it was really unexpected. I thought he'll be too busy studying so the call came as a lovely surprise from him. =) We talked for slightly more than ten minutes, and he wasn't feeling well, fell sick and having flu. He said it's due to the cold weather in 'Tamworth'.

Today, he flew a plane for the first time! =) So proud of him! Even though he got to fly the plane for an hour (everyone had only an hour), at least he tried and had gained some experience. According to him, it was quite hard and there were some air turbulence. Still, today's the first time and I'm sure he'll do better in the other flights to come. =)

I wanted him to sleep early but he still asked me how was my day. Told him the important details and cut short on the redundant parts. He sounded very tired and sick so I asked him to sleep already. However, he wants to study a little before he goes to bed. That sillyboy! Since he wants to study, I told him not to study till too late and sleep early so that he can rest.

Ended the call with lovely words to each other then we hung up. I adore that sillyboy of mine, for he's very sweet to me. =)

Day seven that my love is away in Tamworth, fifty nine days left till he returns

2010-08-03T07:54:00.002+08:00

It's day seven (and also the first week) that my love is away in 'Tamworth' for his 'AGC', fifty nine days more before he returns.

I'm missing him a lot, missing every single thing about him. Knowing that he'll be back earlier than 30 September is a bonus, but I still count down to 30 September because the actual date he'll be back is still not confirmed. Once I know his earlier date of arrival, I'll definitely count down to the earlier date instead of 30 September.

Last night before I slept, I saw the light stick that I lit on Sunday night was still lighted up. Smiled to myself again and happily closed my eyes to turn in for the night. Even as I awoke this morning, it still produced light but it wasn't as bright as before. The light stick lasted for almost thirty six hours!

Yesterday, I closed a total of fifty seven calls and emails. Trying my best to hit sixty in a day before my first year of service in this centre (1 October 2010). I'm not sure if it's achievable because the amount of calls and emails in a day varies. It's better that I tried than I didn't at all, so I'll aim for a record of sixty, and if I manage to hit that, I might aim for seventy.

Wednesday tomorrow, then it'll be a week to Bea's birthday. She doesn't want any birthday celebration at my Grandma's house or on the actual day because she has to study for her A'Levels. She's so hardworking! She studies till about 2am to 2.30am daily and wakes up at 6.15am every morning. Last night she studied till 3am!

Have to index supporting documents now. One whole stack of employed supporting documents, a lot of self-employed too but not as many as employed, and a list of cases for me to handle. Got to go now!

A call from my dearest =)

2010-08-02T18:53:00.003+08:00

Received a call from my love on my way home from work just now at 5.57pm (I was in bus 970 already). =) We talked longer than before this time round, for seven minutes and fifty seven seconds (I know it sounds silly to put it in details, but bear with me!).

He had eaten his dinner and showered before calling me. That sillyboy apologized for not calling me last night. Told him it was alright since I got to hear his voice today. Was talking to him about his transport claims when he told me that his 'AGC' is a five to six weeks course and not a two months course! I thought I heard wrongly so asked him if he'll be back before 30 September and his answer was yes! I was so happy upon hearing that! Can't wait to see him in mid-September! =D

My love also assured me; told me not to be silly and not think too much. I feel really thankful that he's always patient in assuring me and making me feel secure. Sadly, the reception wasn't that good suddenly and he said he can't hear me properly. In the end, he said he'll call me some other time instead. Before we hung up, he told me he loves me and when I asked him if he really does, he said yes. =)

The journey home was nothing but sweet after his call. Felt so warm even when the bus was cold when I boarded it. The feeling of blissfulness was indescribable. Every single fear, insecurity and negative feeling that I have in me suddenly disappeared.

Thanks in advance to those who wished my love good luck for his course, for being so supportive of him, and lastly being there for me even before he left (saying that I can count on them and counting down with me till the day he returns):

- both his and my family
- my dearest sister, Bea! (you're my silent pillar of strength!)
- Uncle, Moses, Boon, CS (meet up again when Jakin returns!)
- Jerry, Cheryl and pigpig =D
- ling*
- Uncle Chin
- some of my colleagues

I'm my love's happy girl now. =) Happy because I don't have to light up eight light sticks before he comes back, happy because he'll be back before 30 September, happy because I heard his voice today, happy because I know he loves me!

Day six that my love is away in Tamworth for training, sixty days left before he returns to Singapore

2010-08-02T07:31:00.002+08:00

It's day six that my love is away, sixty days more to go before he comes back.

After he called me yesterday morning at 9.26am, he didn't come online already. Still, I waited on both 'Facebook' and 'MSN' for him, hoping he's able to come online. I know he has to study and memorize the notes by heart, so I didn't carry too much hope.

In the evening, I sent him an sms and called him twice. Probably he was too busy studying or fell asleep while studying so he didn't reply my sms nor picked up my calls.

Lighted up the first light stick last night and hung it near my window. As I lay in bed waiting to fall asleep, I looked at the light stick and smiled to myself. Reason being, I got through the first weekend and have eight weekends more. =)

Back to work again today and I've fourty two working days (with only eight weekends = sixteen days) to get through till 30 September. There's 'Town Hall' this Friday at 3pm so most likely we'll get to go home earlier than the usual 5.30pm. Moreover, next Monday is National Day which means we'll have a long weekend ahead.

I'm missing my love so much, can't wait to hear his sweet sweet voice again. His voice never fails to make me feel secure, assured and loved by him. =)

Day five that my Baby is away for AGC, sixty one days left before he comes back

2010-08-01T09:50:00.014+08:00

It's the fifth day that my love is away in 'Tamworth', sixty one days more before he returns. Since today is the first day of August, it's also exactly two months till he comes back (thirty one days in August and thirty days in September). I still hope the training ends early and he'll be back in six weeks, but like I said before, I don't want the instructors there to rush things and make them unable to do well.

Yesterday, he didn't come online again. Even after I came back from my Grandma's house after dinner at 7.45pm, he still wasn't online. Waited till 11.30pm before I shut down my lappy. I was worried so I called his 'Australian' line, but he didn't pick up, probably because it was already 1.30am in 'Tamworth'. Hence, I sms-ed him and then went to bed.

This morning, at about 5am, it was raining ver heavily. Woke up because of the thunder and had difficulty falling back to sleep due to the flashes of lightning. After what seemed like ages, I fell asleep and woke up at 8.45am. Checked my handphone but there wasn't any missed call(s) or sms from him. Without brushing my teeth, I switched on my lappy to check if he's online or if there's any emails from him. Sadly, he wasn't online nor were there any emails.

Since he was not online, I went to rush my teeth. Just as I was rinsing my mouth, I heard my mum shouting to me saying that I've a call on my handphone. Quickly rinsed my mouth and went out of the toilet. Before I picked up the call, I checked to see who the caller was and it was my love!! Immediately picked up and I asked if he could call my house phone. Of course that sillyboy didn't mind and I went to my bedroom to wait for his call.

When he called, I picked up and he started telling me not to be silly and everything. I asked why he didn't come online for the past two days and he replied it's because he still doesn't have internet yet and his friends were all using their own internet access last night. As for the night before, he said there was an instructor he talked to during dinner who scared him (telling him what he ought to know during the training) so he went back to his room to study and fell asleep while studying halfway. We talked for quite a while, with him updating me on what happened on Friday and yesterday. He also assured me, telling me everything's okay and he'll come back soon. =)

About 9.47am, we ended the call. He had just woken up when he called me (11.30am in 'Tamworth') and needed to take his lunch. After lunch, he has to study his notes. Told him to study hard and to take proper meals. Felt really appreciative of his gestures and blessed that he called me once he woke up after seeing my missed call and sms. Thank you Baby. =)

I'm going to light up the first light stick before I sleep tonight, and be thankful that the first week is almost over. Missing you my dearest. =)

Pictures from quite some time ago:

Watched 'Voyage de la Vie' with my love (16 July 2010):

Time spent with my love at 'Cineleisure' (18 July 2010):

Day four that my love is away, sixty two days more to go

2010-07-31T09:29:00.003+08:00

It's the fourth day that my love is away, sixty two days left until he comes back.

Yesterday, I went online immediately after my dinner and shower at about 7.10pm. Waited for him to be online either in 'Facebook' or 'MSN'. As I waited, I constantly looked at the time and added two hours to it since he's two hours ahead. However, he didn't come online even as I waited till 11.30pm. By then, I was too tired so went to bed.

I was worried the whole night, hopefully he's alright. Mummy said he was probably enjoying himself with his course mates since it was a Friday night, or maybe he was too tired so headed to bed early. Either way, I just want him to be safe and sound.

Woke up at 9.11am this morning and couldn't fall back to sleep. Still rather worried for my love. Quickly went online but there wasn't any emails from him (I actually sent him an email yesterday afternoon during my lunch time). Have been camping on 'Facebook' and 'MSN' every evening/night since Wednesday (28 July) and will be doing that daily till he returns.

Bea is now in school, having her 'GP' mock test. She had to reach school around 8am and will only end at 12noon. Parents sent her there and on the way home, they bought breakfast and 'Vegetarian Noodles' for our lunch. It's been so long since I had lunch at home during weekends, because I was either at my love's house having lunch with him, or we dined outside.

It's August tomorrow! I miss you Baby. =)

Day three that my love is in Tamworth, sixty three days more to go

2010-07-30T07:35:00.002+08:00

It's day three that my love is in 'Tamworth' for his 'AGC', sixty three days more to go before he returns.

Chatted with him online ('MSN') last night around 7.58pm. Though we didn't talk on the phone, it's better than nothing (at least I still get to communicate with him). That sillyboy was using his friend's internet connection because he hasn't signed up for one (He needs to pay for the internet connection there using 'Paypal' but doesn't have a 'Paypal' account so he just signed up for one last night).

We didn't chat very long, chatted for around thirty minutes or less. I remember asking him if we can walk around 'Chinatown' when he returns and he said of course. =) He had also read my letter and email for him! My love was tired and I didn't want him to be lack of sleep as he has to study or have training the next day, so we went to bed at about 8.30pm (which is 10.30pm in 'Tamworth').

It's already Friday, the weekend is round the corner. Can't wait to light up the first light stick on Sunday night (before I sleep) to indicate that the first weekend has gone and I'm left with eight weekends to get through. I really don't want to use up all ten light sticks, because it'll mean that he has gone for ten weekends. Moreover, my love promised to light the excess light stick(s) with me so I want to ensure that I have at least one left for us to light it together.

Two more days to August then it's exactly two months till he comes back. Bea and Mummy's birthdays are in August and there's a public holiday on National Day, which is something to look forward to. My love and his course mates will be celebrating 'Singapore's' National Day with the big shot(s) over there, and each of them has to bring a red shirt over.

The office is quite cold now, no thanks to the rain pouring heavily outside. I'm wearing the blazer that my love had bought for me last year, which he bought with the intention that when he's not physically beside me to hug me from the cold, the blazer will keep me warm, as though he's hugging me. =)

Got to start working already. Not a lot of cases today, and recently I've been handling more calls as compared to emails. I don't mind actually, at least I can gain experience for different scenario. Have to start calling the critical cases now, there's three to go!

Second day that my love is in Tamworth, sixty four days more to go

2010-07-29T07:46:00.002+08:00

Happy Birthday God-Father!

It's day two that my love is away in 'Tamworth', sixty four days left before he comes back to 'Singapore'.

July will be ending in two days, and once August arrives this Sunday, it's exactly two months more until he returns. Counting down will make the two months seem very long, but that's the only way for me to know that 30 September is approaching.

It was said that if their training ends early, they'll get to return earlier as well. As much as I want him to return as soon as he can, I don't want the people over there to rush things and they end up not being able to do well for their training.

Even though he's two hours ahead in time, I'm really thankful it's not more than that (eg. twelve hours). I still get to talk to him (twice yesterday!!) and also emailed him yesterday during my lunch break.

The time now is 9.19am, so it should be around 11.19am in 'Tamworth'. I hope he has a conducive environment to study his notes for the training and the weather will not be too cold for him. I really want him to do well and fulfill his dream. Without any doubt, he definitely has my fullest support.

As for me, the system is currently down since this morning and hence I'm unable to do any emails/calls. Colleagues are trying to do their work without using the system but it's rather hard. Many of them are finding other things to occupy themselves till the system is working again.

For now, I shall shred the unwanted papers in my tray just in case of any surprise security checks that may occur again. Five of my colleagues actually got caught and had to write a report on why they left their locker/drawer keys or restricted documents lying around. I don't want to be so careless and have a black mark to my name...

Another call from my love again =)

2010-07-28T19:57:00.003+08:00

I received another call from my love at 7.45pm. This time round, we chatted for four minutes and eight seconds. =)

That sillyboy of mine was very tired and wanted to sleep, yet he still took time out to call me. Made me feel so touched yet guilty at the same time. He'll be setting up his internet connection tomorrow; $45 for two weeks and $80 for one month. I asked him how is he, and besides feeling tired, he's adapting well.

Felt really glad that I managed to hear his voice again, and he said he'll call me whenever he can. I know you love me Baby, my heart tells me so. =)

I'll be joining you in bed now my dearest. =) Good night!

Babylove called me at 3.27pm! =)

2010-07-28T16:23:00.002+08:00

I'm a happy girl because manged to hear a sweet sweet voice! =)

Received my love's call at 3.27pm (he was on his balcony while talking to me) and we talked for about three minutes plus. He told me he's tired and the weather is quite cold but he's getting used to it. However, he's angry that the people didn't handle his luggage properly and made the hook inside the luggage (the luggage belongs to Jabin, who lent it to my love for his course) spoilt.

He's currently using an 'Australian' line which he bought for 10 dollars but I'm not sure if the ten dollars is in 'Singapore' or 'Australian' currency. He also said he might not be able to call me everyday as it's going to be costly. I replied him, saying it's alright and told him that I had emailed him this afternoon during my lunch time.

He also told me that whenever we talk on the phone, there'll be a one to two seconds lag so he told me to wait for his reply and not think that he has put down the phone. We didn't talk for too long as we don't know how expensive the bill will be and he had to prepare to go for dinner. After some lovely words from him, we ended the call.

I'm really glad that I got to hear his voice, telling me he's safe and sound, adapting well to the cold weather there. As long as he gets to eat well, sleep well, study well and have comfortable surroundings, I wouldn't be so worried for him. Sixty five days with nine weekends and fourty five working days to go before my love returns.

Can't wait to see him again. =)

First day that my love is in Tamworth, sixty five more days to go

2010-07-28T07:28:00.002+08:00

Monday, my love was let off early, so after he got home to put down his stuffs, he went to 'Jurong Point' to have his haircut first. By the time he was finished, it was around 4.15pm so he headed back home first. After I knocked off from work, I went to 'Queenstown' MRT station and waited for him. When he arrived, we went to search for 'Mei Chin Food Market' as we wanted to have dinner there. However, after walking around and searching for it, we didn't manage to find. Ended up taking a bus from 'Mei Ling Street' to 'Ikea' for our dinner. We ordered quite a lot and hence took about an hour plus to eat. Left around 8.35pm and cabbed back to my house. My love helped me to download an anti-virus software into my lappy while I bathed. After bathing, we spent time together listening to music, talking and eating fruits. He left at 11pm, bus-ed back home and when he called me, it was 12.08am.

Tuesday, which was also yesterday, was my love's last day in 'Singapore' before he departs to 'Tamworth' for two months. I was on leave the whole day so woke up at 10plus and wrote a letter for him so that he would be able to read it on the plane. After writing the letter, I went to bathe and left my house around 12noon. Cabbed to his place and spent more time with him; helping to pack his stuffs, ensure he has everything packed, etc. Left his house at 1.20pm and we took a bus to 'IMM' as he needed to change his money to 'Australian' notes. First thing we did when we arrive was to find a money changer to change his money, then for lunch at 'Kopitiam' as my love was craving for 'Ban Mian'. After lunch, he went to 'Guardian' to buy 'Vitamin C' to bring over to 'Tamworth'. From there, we took the shuttle bus to 'Jurong East' and went to develop the film from my 'Holga'. Took a bus back to his house and spent some more time with him. Listened to music together and helped him to wash his hair. He did some last minute packing of his boxers, 'Vitamin C' and toiletries. Ironed his shirt and pants before he left his house with a luggage and two hand carry bags (One of his hand carry bags had his lappy inside, making it rather heavy). Managed to get a cab at 4.30pm and rushed to 'Terminal One' at 'Changi Airport' as he needed to report at 5pm. When he reached, he settled his check in luggage and documents before he was free to do anything till 6.30pm. We walked around and that sillyboy of mine was so sweet to want to show me where the train station was at 'Terminal Two'. However, I couldn't leave as I was waiting for Yvonne and Jabin to arrive to surprise him. In the end, I had to leak the secret out to him as he was insistent in going to 'Terminal Two' as he said that it was the last thing he could do for me. I was very touched but sad that the surprise had to be spoilt. Met up with Jabin and Yvonne then we had dinner at 'Pizza Hut', directly beside the departure gate. All four of us ordered 'Pasta' and all tasted not-very-delicious. At 6.40pm, we sent him off to the departure gate and bade farewell to him. Took one group picture together before he had to get the rest of his course mates to go in as well. My love didn't say goodbye to me, he said that there's no bye bye, and he'll see me in two months time. =) I was proud of myself, I didn't cry at all even though I thought I would. My love also told me he didn't want me to cry because he can't be there to help me wipe away my tears. Well, I didn't cry and I'm glad of it. When he went through immigration and all the scanning, it was close to 7pm. His flight was at 7.50pm (He'll be taking a flight to 'Sydney' then transfer to take a domestic flight to 'Tamworth'.) and had to be inside already. Last wave to us and he left.

After we couldn't see him anymore, Jabin left to 'Sengkang' while Yvonne and I waited for Daddy to touch down. Daddy went to 'Malaysia' for a business trip for a day and took the earlier flight back. We went to 'Watsons' and Yvonne bought quite a number of items. We then took the skytrain to 'Terminal Two' to wait for Daddy. In the skytrain at 7.30pm, I called my love, wondering if he's alright. He actually wanted to call me in awhile as he was at the boarding gate already. Told him to be careful, be safe and study hard before we hung up. Reached 'Terminal Two', went to the toilet and waited at the seats. 7.50pm, Daddy touched down and we went to the arrival gate to wait for him. Within seven minutes, he was walking out with two of his other colleagues. We took a cab and sent Yvonne home first before we went back. By the time we reached home, it was 9pm and Mummy was surprised to see Daddy back so early. Unpacked my stuffs then went to bed around 10.20pm.

Today's Wednesday and the time now is 8.31am. My love should be at 'Tamworth' already and he's about two hours ahead of us. It's winter over there so the temperature will be quite low. I really pray hard that he's warm, safe and alright. He will call, sms and email me when he can, and I can't wait to hear his sweet sweet voice again. He'll return on 30 September 2010, at 9.55pm but it's still uncertain as it may change to an earlier date. I definitely wish that he'll be back before 30 September but in the meantime, he has to study very hard and do well for the course in order to proceed on.

And so, it's the first day that my love is away in 'Tamworth' for his 'Air Grading Course', sixty five days more to go before he returns. I shall remain optimistic and believe that in the blink of an eye, he will be back in 'Singapore' and into my arms again. I know that he is never far away from me, protecting me and keeping me safe. Like what he told me, he said he's always by my side because his heart is with me. =)

I'm already missing you so much, my dearest Baby.

Baby's departure flight timing

2010-07-26T13:33:00.002+08:00

My love called me at ten plus this morning, letting me know his flight timing for tomorrow. He has to report at 5pm at 'Changi Airport' and his flight is at 7.50pm. So after he reports, he has free time till about 7pm.

Changed my half day leave to one day leave since my love doesn't have to go back to camp. I really want to maximize the time that my love and I have left together, if not it'll be two months later before we can spend quality time again.

I'm glad that he's been assuring me and making me feel so loved by him, so that I won't feel insecure or worried for him. Even though this will be the longest time we're spending apart, our hearts still link together as one. =)

My love will be leaving for Tamworth tomorrow for two months

2010-07-26T07:48:00.002+08:00

Friday, I had a wonderful surprise from my love. He called me about 5pm and asked me what bus will I be taking to town later on. Told him it was bus 175 and told him which bus stop it would be. Next thing he said was, "Okay, see you there later!" I was shocked and he started laughing, because he was supposed to be let off at 5pm, and not be at the bus stop at 5pm! Not only that, we were meeting in town so that sillyboy told me he'll explain it to me when he meet me. Hurriedly left the office at 5.25pm and went to the bus stop. He explained that some of his course mates bargained to leave at 12noon but they left at 3pm. After they were let off, my love then went to 'Vivo' with a guy named Derrick to get souvenirs for some of the'Australians' in 'Tamworth's' training school as they will be celebrating Singapore's 'National Day' with them. From there, he went to take pictures of the no U-turn sign at 'Sentosa Gateway' before coming to surprise me. Anyway, my love and I went to 'Plaza Singapura' first then walked down to 'Heeren' at 7pm to meet Uncle and Moses. Dinner was at 'Fish and Co' then we proceeded to 'TCC' for desserts/drinks. Left around 10plus then my love sent me home before he went home.

Saturday and Sunday, it was my love and my lazy days. Spent quality time with each other, my love re-formatted our laptops, watched the 'VCDs' and pigged out together. Sunday was slightly special, we had 'Frog Leg Porridge' at 'Geylang Lorong 9' with Yvonne for dinner. Afterwhich, went back to his house then helped him to pluck pluck and spend a little more time with each other before I went home.

My love also passed to me a box of blue light sticks (there are ten light sticks in a box), and I will light one up for every weekend he'll be away. Since he'll be gone for around eight weeks, I'll have two spare light sticks left, and he promised to light them up with me when he returns. =)

He's leaving tomorrow, and I've taken half day leave to send him off. Though his flight is in the evening, I can't help but feel all teary now. We'll be apart for two months, and he has to study really hard to make it through. I'm really missing him alot already, two months isn't very short to me. It's going to be hard to hear his sweet sweet voice, and totally not being able to hug, kiss or feel him for two months. =( He'll be the one initiating to call, sms or email me (he's bringing his lappy over) while I can only initiate to email him. So glad he has planned alot just to be able to communicate with me; wanting to get internet excess no matter how lousy it's going to be, wanting to get call card and IDD to call and sms me. Baby, I feel so loved by you, with you assuring me and making me secure again.

Slightly more than a day left together with him before he's gone for two months, and I really want to treasure all the little minutes and seconds that we have. I'm dreading tomorrow, to send him off and not being physically there with him, but he told me that there's no goodbye between us. =') I've got to remain strong and positive for him, because he needs my fullest support when he's in 'Tamworth'. I will hold back my tears (though I think it's going to be hard) and not make him worry about me (he told me that everytime he has to go overseas for training, the person he's most worried about is me). I want him to do well, study hard and be able to fulfill his dream.

I'm going to meet him tonight, then we'll head over to 'Jurong Point' as he wants to have a haircut. That sillyboy told me he wants to go over to my house straight after his haircut and drop some hair at my place while downloading an anti-virus software into my lappy. Will be missing that cheeky love of mine when he's gone, and I can't wait for two months to fly past quickly.

Friday, but four days left before my love leaves for Tamworth

2010-07-23T07:51:00.002+08:00

Yesterday after knocking off, headed to 'Vivo' to get tickets for 'The Sorcerer's Apprentice'. Initially, my love and I wanted to watch it at 6.50pm instead of 7.20pm as there were more seats available compared to the later timing. However, when it was nearing my turn to purchase the tickets, the tickets for both timings were selling fast. Was very anxious that I might not be able to get tickets in the end! Hence, when it was my turn, I asked the lady which theatre had tickets nearer to the screen and it was the 6.50pm slot. Bought two tickets for 7.20pm timing instead and waited for my love to arrive.

When my love reached around 6.17pm, he called me and asked where I was. Told him that he needn't rush as the movie timing had been changed. Went for dinner at 'Long John', which brought back lots of memories. =) The 'Long John' in 'Vivo' was the place where we had our first meal together (though I was too shy to eat anything at that time) and 'Vivo' was our first dating place. =) We managed to seat at the same place we did three years back and our seating arrangements were the same too. So happy that the both of us remember such simple yet sweet moments.

Walked around after dinner, managed to get a pair of shorts from 'Rip Curl'. Went for the movie and the show was very interesting! Almost a two hour movie and even though we were seating at the third row from the front, it was not too near to have neck-aches. Movie ended at 9.30pm then my love went to show me a no U-turn sign outside opposite 'St James' that was actually blocked by another bigger sign in front of it. He called his friend, Spencer (who just knocked off from work), and my love went to meet him at the bus stop outside 'Vivo' and brought him to view the sign. His intention was to make sure he has a point that the no U-turn sign was blocked and thus, hard to see.

Afterwhich, took a bus to 'Commonwealth' then cabbed back to my house. By the time I got back, it was almost 10.45pm. Passed to love the camera then he went home. He called me around 11.37pm and I was already asleep. Didn't talk much as we were tired and went to bed.

This morning, while at the lobby of the office, I almost slipped and fell. Was not only embarrassed and my heart was beating very quickly. I have a phobia of falling and afraid to fall. Immediately sms-ed my love when I reached my desk. After that, I went to wash my bottle and re-fill it. Came back to my desk, saw a missed call from my love. Called him back and he asked me if I was alright. That sillyboy of mine was very concerned and worried. Told him I was alright and he asked me to be careful. =) Feel so blessed.

George, Shi Huay and Meiling will be treating the whole centre to 'Nasi Lemak' for breakfast today. No one really knows the actual reason to them treating us but Ya Li was telling me that since they are treating, just eat! And yes, everyone has a share, including Hung Yin.

Closed quite a number of cases for the past few days. Alot of emails and calls recently, wonder why the surge. Shall do my best, that's all. =)

Rainy weather, movie - 'The Sorcerer's Apprentice' tonight!

2010-07-22T07:30:00.003+08:00

Finally, after so long, dined at 'P.S Cafe' located in 'Palais Renaissance'. My love and I went there last evening for our anniversary dinner! We plan to go over to their 'Dempsey' outlet one day. =)

Made reservations for two at 7.15pm but we were there around 7pm. Their service was good, staff were helpful and food was not too bad either. He ordered the 'Moroccan Lamb' while I ordered the 'Meatball Spaghetti'. For desserts, we ordered a 'Double Chocolate Blackout Cake' which comes with a scoop of 'Vanilla' ice-cream and surrounded by chocolate sauce. Very tasty but we were too full to finish it.

We finished eating about 8.15pm. Paid the bill (which came up to around $117) then we walked to the bus stop at 'Wheelock' to take a bus back to my house. At first my love wanted to shop around with me but I was a little tired so we went back. Felt guilty but he said it was alright, there'll be other times for us to shop together. =)

Got back home around 9.15pm then he went back home. By the time he called me, it was 10.38pm already. He waited very long for bus 176 so took bus 66 instead. As I was asleep when he called, we didn't talk much and headed to bed together.

This morning, gave my love a wake up call at 6.20am. His friend picked him up around 6.50am to go to 'Air Force Training Command' together. With his friend sending him, that sillyboy of mine didn't have to wake up so early and travel all the way there. Moreover, it was raining quite heavily so he won't get caught in the rain. Daddy also sent me to work due to the heavy rain and I reached the office around 7.20am.

Going to watch 'The Sorcerer's Apprentice' tonight with my love. =) Will have to check the movie timings to decide where we'll be watching the movie at, but definitely 'Golden Village' because of his 'SAFRA' card. Just hope that there'll be sufficient seats and timings for us. =)

Another thing to add; it's confirmed that my love will be flying off to 'Tamworth' on 27 July 2010, next Tuesday. Will be applying for half day leave to send him off as his flight is in the evening. Less than five days left to spend with him before he leaves for two months and the thought of it makes me feel so awful. If only time can crawl by slowly for these five days.

Got to start work already. It's Friday tomorrow!

Happy 37th Monthsary!

2010-07-21T07:42:00.002+08:00

Happy 37th Monthsary Baby!

It's the 21st again, which means a month had passed from our third year anniversary. Thirty seven months of being together with my love, and even though there were quarrels, arguments, tears and sadness, we're still holding on and not giving up. =)

We've been through so/too much, and only those who know us well will know. He was there, standing by and supporting me especially during our first year together. The best thing that happened is when I told Daddy about him in October last year, he accepted my love and trust him.

I'm blessed to have him by my side, loving me unconditionally and making me feel loved. He's just like my guardian angel sent from Heaven to look after me. I feel blissful and cared for by him, taking care of me, making sure I'm alright.

I know it's less than a week before he flies off for two months, that's why I want to treasure the time I have left with him. It's not alot, but the memories will stay. =)

See you tonight, my love. Happy Monthsary once again. =)

Simple but quality time spent with my love

2010-07-20T07:44:00.004+08:00

After I knocked off from work, went home to rest awhile and waited for my love's call. He called me at 6.45pm and said he was almost home as his friend sent him to somewhere near his house. After he bathed and called me, it was 7.06pm. Said he'll meet me around 7.45pm outside the guard house and we'll walk down to the market together for dinner.

The next call from him came at 7.45pm, really just like he said. He was in the bus near the church and was reaching in about two stops. Hence I quickly washed my mother's cup (she had finished eating her fruits) and went down to the guard house to meet him.

After meeting him, we strolled to the market, hand in hand. Halfway, when we were at the community centre, he suddenly exclaimed that we were walking too slowly and he was very hungry, what if most of the stalls are closed? That sillyboy of mine is always so cute. =)

Reached the market slightly before 8pm and ordered our food and a glass of 'Sugarcane Juice'. When we were done eating, it was only 8.25pm. Washed and rinsed our mouth at the sinks outside the toilet before we walked back to my house. While on the way, he had to withdraw some cash so we stopped at the 'POSB' machine.

After he withdrew the money, we continued walking back to my house. Talked and enjoyed each other's company, spending time with each other. Got back to my house around 8.45pm and he was thirsty, so I passed to him his 'Peach' can drink before he went back home.

This morning, my love woke up at 5.30am instead of 5.15am and left the house at 6am. He didn't want it to be like yesterday where he was so early that he had nothing to do but wait in the canteen for his course mates. As for me, Daddy sent me to work as it's Tuesday.

Tonight, I'll be having dinner at home whereas my love will be meeting his friend for dinner. We'll be meeting tomorrow for dinner as it's our 37th monthsary. We haven't decided where to eat though, venue isn't that important especially when I have his company and love. =)

Since it's already Tuesday, it's tentatively a week before my love has to fly off to 'Tamworth' for two months. Although I get to spend more time with him for now, his return date will most likely be delayed. Still, he knows that I'm giving him my fullest support and encouraging him all the way. =)

Shall start working now. Lots of cases to clear today, just like yesterday. It's going to be another busy day again.

Almost a week of not blogging, quality time with my love

2010-07-19T07:46:00.002+08:00

It's almost a week since I've blogged and I don't know where to start. Too many things that I want to say, to let my feelings out, however, this is not a private blog afterall. I can't really describe every single thing and detail here.

Last Tuesday (13 July 2010) and Wednesday (14 July 2010), went over to my love's house after work and waited for him. After he reached home, we headed to 'IMM' for dinner and walked around. Tuesday's dinner was at 'Ajisen Ramen' and on Wednesday, we had 'Hong Kong' cuisine for dinner on the third level. On both days, we ended up at 'Giant' as I needed to buy snacks to stock up in the office. Afterwhich, back to his house to put some stuffs then he sent me back home.

Thursday (15 July 2010), my love had his course photo taking at 'Keppel Bay'. He had to wear his flight suit and take lots of pictures, as a group and also alone. As he ended early, he went to 'Vivo' and had 'Superdog' with some of his course mates. Afterwhich, he drove to 'Tiong Bahru Plaza' to get tickets for 'Inception' at 6.35pm. (We wanted to watch it at either 'Vivo' or 'Plaza Singapura', but the tickets left are for the first three rows.) From there, he came to pick me up then drove back to 'Tiong Bahru Plaza' again. Bought 'Sushi' and drinks to bring into the theatre, and it's our first time watching a movie where there were different varities of food that the other movie-goers brought in. We saw 'KFC', 'MacDonalds', 'Shilin Chicken', 'Old Chang Kee', 'Whipped Potato', etc. The movie lasted two hours and thirty minutes, and it ended at 9.05pm. Interesting movie, though it's rather complicated at some scenes. Had dinner after the movie at the 'Kopitiam' located inside the building itself, then my love sent me home.

Friday (16 July 2010), I learnt a lesson the hard way. Brought two 'Barcardi Breezer' to the office and intended to have a drinking session after lunch with Jaelle and Maureen. Maureen brought another two 'Barcardi' and three cans of 'Heineken' and a can of 'Chang Beer'. So, we drank and as usual, my face got red after a bottle of 'Barcardi'. Drank half a can of 'Heineken' and surrendered. Ended up in the filing room resting, and Hung Yin didn't mind because she was the one who wanted to see me get drunk! I didn't get drunk but I was queasy and uncomfortable. Giddy and feeling weak too. Had to call my love and asked if he could come and pick me up after he ended. We were supposed to meet at 'Vivo' after we ended but I couldn't take it, especially since I had difficulty walking. Anyway, I managed to do a few calls/emails then I went downstairs and waited for my love. He reached around 5.45pm and drove to ' Resorts World Sentosa'. Couldn't find our way so called Kah Wee, who asked us to wait for him outside 'St James Powerhouse'. He reached, guided us in and then said he'll meet us later as we're parking at a different area from him. After we parked the car, my love changed and we headed up to 'Universal Studios'. The area was so huge and even though we were hungry, we went to take pictures instead! Finally, we settled our dinner at 'Chili'. My love had half a rack of 'Pork Ribs' and 'Hoegarden' while I had 'New York Strip'. Food wasn't too bad, but I had a little headache due to the afternoon's alcohol. After dinner, my love and I went to take pictures again before we went inside 'Hershey's Chocolate World'. Lots and lots of chocolate and different many varieties for you to choose from. My love bought a t-shirt for me from there as well! =) Thanks Baby! Bought chocolates for my parents and cousins before we left. Walked around a little more and it's close to 8pm. We headed to the 'Casino' and waited for Kah Wee. When he arrived, he passed us two tickets to 'Voyage De La Vie' (It's Singapore's first theatrical circus performance and it's held at 'Resorts World' so it's a chance not to be missed!) at 8.30pm and also a complimentary parking ticket (He had free 'VIP' tickets for the show and since he doesn't want to go, he gave it to us as we were interested in going and heard many good reviews about it). Since the tickets were 'VIP' seating, we had a good view of the stage. The show started promptly at 8.30pm and ended at 10.15pm. It was very good, honestly, though the singer Jonathan Leong's voice, was not that great. The juggler, contortionist, rope swinger and other performances were really interesting. Had a great time throughout the show. After the show, my love and I explored a little more then went back to his house. Showered then watched a movie, the title was 'Cry Wolf'. Pigged out during the movie together with 'Chilli Tapioca' and 'Minute Maid Orange Juice'. After the movie, we went to bed as we were tired.

Saturday (17 July 2010), woke up around 10am and lazed in bed. 10.30pm, we finally woke up and went to wash up. Left the house at 11am with Yvonne and sent her to 'Health Partners Family Clinic' for her 'Cervical Cancer' jab. From there, my love drove to 'SIM' as Yvonne needed to buy her books for the next semester. Afterwhich, we went to 'Longhouse' for 'Prawn Noodles'! We shared 'Popiah' as well, and I had two little 'Goreng Pisang' after eating the noodles. When we were done, I drove to 'IMM' as Yvonne needed to get some items for her 'Hong Kong' trip. My love also searched for gloves, netting bag and other stuffs at 'Daiso'. Left about two hours later and I drove back to their house. Within half an hour, we left his house again and this time round, I drove to my Grandma's house and alighted Yvonne nearby to take a bus to 'Yishun' as she wanted to find Ah Hui. Reached my Grandma's house and I quickly bathed. After I bathed, Kujie, Gerald, my love and I watched a movie titled 'Saint Ange'. It was a slow-paced movie, though it was supposed to be a horror show. However, it wasn't that scary as we expected it to be. When my parents and Bea arrived, I gave them the chocolates that I bought for them the day before. Had dinner, lazed around and my parents left with Bea around 8pm. My love and I stayed on and amused ourselves by watching Ian, Xinyi and Gerald play 'Mario' on 'Wii'. After the boys left, my love and I watched '2D1N'. Very hilarious especially their actions. We finally left at 10.30pm and love sent me home.

Sunday (18 July 2010): Woke up at 6.45am and went to bathe. After bathing, I gave my love a morning call. After three calls, my love was awake and he came to pick me up at 7.45am. He drove to 'Changi Airport' as we were picking Jabin up. We were just in time as his plane just landed. Requested him to get me three bottles of 'Heinekin' for my mother. =D After he came out of the arrival gate, my love drove Jabin back to his house. Since Jabin didn't need the car, we continued using and intended to return it to him in the night. Love drove to 'Harbourfront Centre' as he wanted to bring me for 'Dim Sum' breakfast at 'Dragon Gate Restaurant'. Sadly, the restaurant has ceased it's operation and even have a new name to it that will be operating on 22 July 2010. That made my love very unhappy because he really wanted to bring me to try that restaurant. In the end, we decided to head to 'Takashimaya' for 'Dim Sum' at 'Crystal Jade Palace'. Parked the car at 'Shaw Centre' and walked over. After eating, we walked to 'Cineleisure' and bought tickets for 'Blood Pledge' at 1.20pm. There wasn't any queue so we were done very quickly. Walked around and went to 'Scape' before having 'Frolick' dessert. At 1pm, we went to level six and sat at the sofas waiting for them to let us in to the theatre. My love was playing his 'Build-A-Lot' game on his iTouch while I was looking at the different previews for the upcoming movies on the television nearby. We went into the theatre exactly at 1.20pm and waited for the movie to start. There were quite a number of people in the theatre and most of them were teenagers. It ended at 3.05pm and in fact wasn't that horrifying or scary. My love and I then walked to 'Ion' and after that, wanted to drive to 'Marina Bay' but there was a heavy traffic. Thus, we headed back to his house and rested. Watched television, ate 'Ben and Jerry' ice-cream, helped him to pluck pluck and cut his fingernails for him. Left his house at 7pm, went to my Grandma's house to return Ian's kite then headed to Jabin's house to return the car to him and pass his all his letters. Dinner was at the coffee shop underneath Jabin's block. After dinner, we cabbed back to my house then my love went back home.

As for this morning, since the car had been returned to Jabin, my love has to wake up at 5am and leave his house at 5.30am. Told him to sms me when he leaves his house so that I will know that he's awake and not still sleeping. So this morning at 5.38am, I awoke to a short, simple but lovely sms from my love. =) That sweet sms from him gave me sufficient energy to start a Monday without any Monday blues. =) While on the bus nearing 'Commonwealth' around 7am, he called me, saying that he had already reached his camp, which is half an hour earlier than the time he wanted to reach. In the end, he slacked around the canteen waiting for time to pass by while I waited for bus 195 to arrive.

This coming Wednesday will be our 37th monthsary, indeed time flies. We'll be watching 'Sorcerer's Apprentice' on Thursday, a movie we've been anticipating for so long. Yesterday, my love is supposed to be flying off to 'Tamworth' but it had been postponed to 25 July 2010, and now, his tentative flight will be on 27 July 2010. It's no doubt a good thing that I can get to spend more time with him, but his return date will definitely be delayed as well. Still, I'm contented to know that we really did spend alot of quality time together.

Got to get back to work already. Have a great Monday everyone!

Last dose of cervical injection yesterday

2010-07-13T13:05:00.002+08:00

Yesterday, knocked off from work then headed to 'Westmall' to meet my love. Had dinner together at the food court then went to 'Health Partners' to register Bea and my name for our last dosage of injection for 'Cervical Cancer'. After registering, my love and I walked to the multi-storey carpark to put down his bag.

After he put down his bag, we walked to 'POSB' then walked back to the clinic. Bea arrived not too long after us and we waited for our turn. Half an hour later, it was finally our turn. The last and also the third dosage was really painful, it seems like the needle thickness increased with every dosage. Within three minutes, we were back outside. Paid the bill while Bea went to find Daddy, who was waiting for her.

My love and I then went to 'Udders' to have ice-cream. Ordered double alcoholic scoops; 'Rum and Raisin' and 'Lychee Martini'. It was his treat to me! =) However, he didn't like the latter's flavour, saying that the one at 'Daily Scoop' tastes better but he commented that the 'Rum and Raisin' flavour was good. To me, both flavours tasted great.

From there, walked back to the multi-storey carpark and drove back to my house. That sillyboy of mine got a ticket for over-parking by half an hour. Luckily it was only $10 as he didn't over-park by an hour or more. Reached my house about 9pm and he rested in my house for awhile. Shared my fruits with him if not I wouldn't be able to finish all within that night. He left about 9.25pm and went back home.

I'm still very burnt, and my left arm hurts alot due to the injection. The burning sensation is really uncomfortable and my love kept saying that I should have listened to him in the first place. Actually, it's true because he kept standing behind me to give me shade from the sun and also kept asking me to move away from the sun. Thanks to him, if not I'll be more sun-burnt than now.

Good news to share, my love will be flying off on 25 July 2010 instead of this Sunday, 18 July 2010. I'm very happy because I get to spend more time with him, but on the other hand, it means he'll most probably return from 'Australia' a week later. Well, I will not think so much and just enjoy my time with him!

Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday!

2010-07-12T07:40:00.002+08:00

Had a really wonderful weekend. Spending time with my love, relaxing, stay home movie with him and bringing the car for a wash. =) Less than a week before he leaves for 'Australia', and I've so many things I want to do with him. Like that sillyboy of mine said, there's still time when he comes back so he said there's no need to rush. =)

Thursday (8 July 2010): Had dinner at 'Sunset Grill and Bar' with my love, Cheryl, Jerry and Ziqi. Ordered their famous 'Baffalo Wings' to try; half a dozen each of level four and level seven. To me, level four was still bearable but when I tried level seven, I only managed to eat only half of a chicken wing. The chilli was spicy and rather salty. In the end, we took away the wings for Jerry's dad. Got home around 10.30pm after going to Jabin's house to take some food back, making love and I very tired.

Friday (9 July 2010): Daddy sent me to work again! =) There were thunder sounds early in the morning so just in case it rained, Daddy sent me. Thanks Daddy! After work, travelled to 'Vivo' to meet my love. Bought tickets for 'Despicable Me' in 3D at 6.20pm. A very cute show that made love laugh throughout the movie. Movie ended around 8plus so we went for dinner at 'Al Azhaar' opposite 'Beauty World Plaza'. After the meal, bought 'Mangosteen' for Kujie so love was so sweet to drive me to my Grandma's house then back to my house again.

Saturday (10 July 2010): My love picked me up and we went to 'Centrepoint' to park the car and had lunch at the food court at the basement. Afterwhich, went for an appointment at 12noon with my optometrist, Yvonne, to make my contact lenses. When I was done, love and I walked to 'Plaza Singapura' to get his book from 'Times'. Unfortunately, it was out of stock and made a reservation for him at 'Times' in 'Centrepoint'. Hence, we walked back and managed to get the book. He was so happy after getting the book. =) Back to his house, rested awhile then headed to 'Hilltop' for dinner. We had 'Teppanyaki' and he was so interested in the way the chef cooked the food. After eating, wanted to go 'Jurong Point' but it suddenly rained so decided to go back to his house. Drove past the 'Pasar Malam' and that love of mine parked the car nearby just to get 'Tea Leaves Egg' for me! I was really touched. =) We also bought six cans of drinks at $2.80 and snacks for my Grandma. Drove back to his house to put the drinks, went to the toilet before going to my Grandma's house to pass her the snacks. Thanks Baby, for not minding the fuel and driving me here and there. =) Stayed at my Grandma's house for awhile, then left at 10pm as I was tired. Sweet sweet love was tired too, but he still insisted on sending me home. =)

Sunday (11 July 2010): Breakfast with my love at 'Long John' in 'Jurong Point'. Walked around before picking Naing and Hui Hui up at 'Pioneer Mall'. Drove to 'Marina Barrage' and we were the first to arrive in the 'Giordano' clique. Reached at 1plus, settled our stuffs at the seats (direct sunlight!) and started to fly our kites. Thanks to Ian who lent us his kites so we didn't have to buy any. Soon, the rest began to arrive and they had found space in the shade so we went over to join them. My love and I went to fly Naing's 'Spiderman' kite but he left halfway to pick some other people up. Therefore, I set an aim for myself and that was to make the kite fly in the sky and I can barely see it. I managed to achieve my aim and my love came back just in time to see it! However, Jiemin and Ben needed the reel more than I do so wanted to lend it to them. Naing, Hui Hui and I tried to reel the kite back but it was too far away so needed alot of effort. Sadly, the kite got stuck halfway and after much pulling and tugging, it was free again. Brought it back and we went to sit down and have our food. Chatted and also celebrated Cheryl's birthday. Didn't really eat the cake as I wasn't into cream and the cake had quite alot of it. Sat in the shade but my back was facing the sun, and I was wearing halter top. Intention was to give it a little tan only. Continued to fly kites, rested, talked to the girls and tried flying Jiemin and Ben's butterfly kite with my love. After much trying, we gave up, just like the others because the kite was too heavy. Took a group photo before Wei Wen left, then we continued to fly the kites. My love and I left at 5.55pm as he wanted to catch his movie at 7pm on 'Channel Five'. I was very burnt by then, my back, shoulders and face were red. Drove back, bought dinner from block 215 and showered before watching the movie and eating our food. The movie was 'Music and Lyrics', and ended at 9pm. Brought the car for a carwash and then love sent me back home. Quickly showered and Bea helped to put the 'Aloe Vera' after-sun car on my back for me. Waited for my love's call, which came at 10.54pm, then the both of us went to bed together after chatting on the phone for around six minutes.

For this morning, I woke up at 3.30pm, thanks to Bea's alarm clock. She wanted to watch the finals of the 'World Cup'! When she told me that she'll be waking up to watch, I told she was kidding with me. So when her alarm clock rang, I asked her what time it was and I heard her say 5.30pm. After replying me, she walked to my parents' room so I tried to sleep for a little longer as I thought I would be waking up in fifteen minutes. Next thing I knew, I kept hearing 'Goal Goal Goal', and the sounds were coming from outside my window. I was wondering why the 'World Cup' finals were still showing. Managed to sleep for awhile and I saw Bea coming back to the room. Tried to sleep more till Mummy finally woke me up at 5.45am. Asked her what was the alarm all about and she told me it was Bea. She made me so confused early in the morning!

It's 8.47am and many of my colleagues talked about the final match. It was 'Spain' versus 'Netherlands' and the winner was 'Spain'. Many of them seemed happy with the results. Desmond is on leave today and I wonder is it because he knows he'll be watching the match and will be too tired to come to work. I'll be meeting my love tonight for dinner at 'Westmall' and also to have my last 'Cervical Cancer' jab. I really hope that being sunburnt will not affect the jab in any way! Okay, it's 8.52am now. Got to go!

Dinner tonight with my love, Cheryl and Jerry

2010-07-08T07:33:00.002+08:00

It was raining heavily when I woke up this morning, so Daddy was such a gem to send me to work. Everywhere had jam, 'AYE', 'PIE', 'CTE'; luckily we were not affected when we were on 'AYE'. Was worried for my love, who was driving to 'Paya Lebar'. News report stated there was a jam at 'PIE' at 'Stevens Road' exit so I was worried that he will be caught in it. Called him the moment I reached the office and he said he was driving, and there was no jam at all.

Medical checkup later at 10am, organized by our company. Initially I didn't want to go but Daddy said since it's free and by the company, why not? Especially since it will not occupy so much of our time and it will help to make us to be aware of our health, I decided to go ahead with it too.

Janice is back in the office today, her course has been postponed to a later date. And the office is very cold, no doubt is the weather that is making the already-very-cold office colder. Many of my colleagues are falling sick, germs are flying around and passing to those who aren't sick at all.

Having dinner tonight with my love, Cheryl and Jerry at 7pm. Venue will be at 'Sunset Grill and Bar' located somewhere near 'Seletar Airbase'. Our main aim of wanting to go there is to try the spicy 'Buffalo Wings' which has different level of spiciness. I'm wondering to which level of spiciness can we endure until? Still, it's going to be a good eating experience. Will be making a reservation later in the afternoon so that we'll have seats and do not have to queue.

Got to start work already! It's Friday tomorrow!

Back to work

2010-07-07T07:37:00.002+08:00

After resting for two days, it's back to work today. Honestly I didn't feel like waking up so early, just want to lie in bed and continue sleeping. At least it's mid-week already, two days more till Friday arrives.

My love came over on Monday evening around 6.30pm after his run. He bought dinner for both of us and watched television while eating. After we ate, he studied his notes while I read one of my new books. Halfway through, he fell asleep as he was tired from the run he had before he came over. Wanted him to go home and rest but he didn't want to, asking me to give him fifteen minutes of nap. In the end, when I woke him up at 8.20pm, he decided to go home and sleep. He got home, brushed teeth, called me and we slept about 9plus.

Yesterday, I took the opportunity to catch up on my sleep. Was still feeling the ache in my back but it was better after all the rest that I had. Daddy came back with lunch for Mummy and I at 11.30am. After lunch, I rested and used my lappy for awhile before lying down on my bed for a nap. By the time I woke up, it was 4.30pm already. Bathe and rested until it was dinner time.

My love is having 'IPPT' today and had to reach at 7.15am. I am confident that he will do well and score a 'Gold' for it. Will sms him later and see how it goes. =)

As for now, I got to start working already. Janice is on medical leave from Monday to today, and on course tomorrow till Friday. Hopefully time will fly...

Many events!

2010-07-05T13:38:00.003+08:00

Last Friday (2 July 2010), my love has successfully crossed over to 'Air Force', and signed a bond with the government. He's now officially a 'Pilot Trainee', with Yvonne and I as his sureties for twenty eight months of training and ten year working bond. His dream has come true, and from now till 18 July 2010, he has a thick stack of notes to study before going over to 'Tamworth', which is in 'Australia' for 'Air Grading'. That morning, he sent Yvonne and I to work and he went to 'SAF Career Centre' first. 8.15am, he called us down to sign the contract and that took about half an hour. When we were done signing, we went back to our offices and he stayed on. Had lunch with him at 12noon before he went to 'Paya Lebar' for 'X-Ray' at 2pm. After he finished, he went back home and came to pick me up at 5.30pm. He drove to 'Orchard Hotel' as we were meeting his poly friends for dinner to celebrate one of his friends' girlfriend's birthday. The celebration was held in the hotel room (room number: 1249) and dinner was bought from 'Delifrance'. After we ate our dinner, took pictures, and blew the birthday cake, we headed down to 'Silk' to catch a football match (It was 'Brazil' versus 'Netherlands'). Match ended close to 12midnight, bade farewell, then my love sent me home. =)

On Saturday (3 July 2010), went for lunch at 'Jurong Point' with Yvonne then walked around a bit. Back to his house, rested a little while, then headed to my Grandma's house for dinner. After dinner, we left at around 8pm and went to 'Holland Village' to meet up with Kah Wee, Sueann, Jeremy and Siva. At first it was just Kah Wee, Sueann, my love and I as the other two guys had not arrive. They had not eaten so went to 'Sushi Tei' for dinner. Since my love and I had eaten, we just ordered 'Salmon Sashimi', 'Teapot Soup' and 'Agedashi Tofu'. Went for desserts at '2am:Dessert Bar' and waited for Jeremy and Siva to arrive. Spent some quality time together till about 10plus before we went back home.

Sunday (4 July 2010), my love came over to swim at 11.30am. Swam till 12.45pm, bathed, then went to 'Jurong Point'. Bought tickets for 'Eclipse' at 4pm then had lunch at 'Old Town White Coffee'. Walked around, bought drinks then went for the movie. It was not bad, even when we didn't watch 'New Moon'. After the movie ended at 6.30pm, we went to buy chocolates and he bought 'Tulips' chocolates for me! =D Thanks sillyboy! At first there were two kinds of chocolates on that particular rack and he asked me to choose either one to buy for me; one was a heart-shaped box of chocolates and the other was the 'Tulips' chocolate. Hence I asked him which one he wanted to get for me instead of me choosing it myself. He replied me saying that of course he'd rather get me the flower chocolates, why get a heart-shaped box of chocolates when he can give me his heart? =) Drove back to his house after buying chocolates, he changed into a polo T-shirt then we went to the market near his house. My love rushed to take passport-sized photos as he needed them urgently. After the photos were developed, we had our dinner and brought Jabin's car for a carwash! When we were done, went back to his house and rested. I also helped him to pluck pluck and cut his nails. Sad to say, I cut his nails too short that it hurt. =( Sorry baby. He sent me home about 10plus, went to update his bank book, then back home to bathe and study his notes. By the time he called me, it was 11.49pm. Chatted for awhile then slept.

As for today, my love had to report to 'Air Force Training Command' at 8am so I gave him morning calls. However, I didn't go to work as I wasn't feeling well. Went to the doctor at 11.50m at 'Westmall', and he said I've caught the common cold with mild fever. =( Bought 'Chiffon Cake' for my mum then headed home.

It's two more weeks before my love flies off to 'Tamworth' for two months on 18 July 2010. Got to make the best out of these two weeks, and this weekend will be packed with activities with his friends and mine. Next Friday will be spent with my friends and I only have 17 July 2010 with him alone. At least I'm also spending time with him when we're out with his and my friends, it's still better than nothing afterall. I'm glad that he said he rather fly in July than in August because he can go there earlier, finish it earlier and come back earlier to see me. =)

Feeling quite drowsy now, ate my cough medicine after my lunch. Shall go and lie down for awhile now. Have a great Monday!

*Edited: It's 3.20pm and my love just called me. He's at home already and going for a run now as he's having 'IPPT' on Wednesday. He didn't have much to do this morning and had a dental scan at 'NUH' this afternoon. Sweet sweet him is going to buy dinner for us tonight and will be coming over to my house to eat. Afterwhich, he'll be studying while I read one of my books. I have ten new books that I have yet to read and five are from my love! =)

Already July

2010-07-01T08:11:00.004+08:00

It's July already! Time really flies, and now we're slightly more than halfway past year 2010. July has no public holidays, got to wait till August for 'National Day' before we can have another of our long-awaited public holiday.

My love will be crossing over to 'Air Force' from tomorrow (2 July 2010) onwards, and has to be at the 'Air Force Recruitment Centre' tomorrow at 8am. Both Yvonne and I have to be there as well, as his sureties. It's going to be a big day for him; something which he have been waiting for so long, something he have aimed to achieve since young. I'll be supporting you my love, you know I will. =)

By the way, the jelly in a shape of a cute dog/puppy that Daddy bought for me as my birthday surprise attracted both Jaelle and Janice. =) They were asking me how much it cost and where did Daddy get it from. Feel so proud of him, for knowing my taste and my favourite animal. Thanks Daddy! =)

For today, my love's on duty again, just like last week. He wasn't very pleased as today is his last day at his unit but they didn't have enough people so they had to get him to do the duty. It's a twenty four hour duty, so my love had to report to camp at 8am this morning and will only be off duty at 8am tomorrow morning. But since it's his last day at his unit and has to report to 'AFRC' at 8am tomorrow, he will leave tonight, get his friend to cover for him and go back home.

Time check: 8.38am. There was a slight drizzle this morning, yet Daddy sent me to work. =) So blessed, really. Time to leave this space and start working now. Have a spendid Thursday!

Monday night with my love, actual birthday, Wednesday!

2010-06-30T19:10:00.003+08:00

Had dinner on Monday night with my love at 'Crystal Jade La Mian Xiao Long Bao' in 'Jurong Point'. After dinner, we walked around 'Harris' and 'Popular' before going back home. That night he booked out so he went back home after sending me.

Yesterday was my birthday! =) My love came over to meet me at 11am then we headed to Jabin's house. Went to the airport together as Jabin was flying off to 'Australia' to find Jamie. Had 'Popeyes' for lunch then Jabin had to check in. After he checked in, my love and I then drove (Jabin lent love the car since he wouldn't be using it) over to 'Longhouse' followed by going to my relatives' office at 'Tagore'. Spent about twenty minutes there and had an impromptu celebration with a little 'kueh'. Left at 4pm, went over to pick Bea up then went back home. Waited for Bea to bathe then we went for dinner with her at 'Rider's Cafe'. After dinner, sent Bea home, went over to Jabin's house as my love needed to collect something before going to 'Jurong Point'. My love and I managed to get all the books we wanted from 'Popular'! In total, we spent about $150 for our books, with a 'Shopaholic' series consisting of five books as my surprise birthday present. Thanks Baby! =) After getting our books, drove back to my house then he went home.

As for today, my love sent me to work! =D He picked me up at 7.30am, drove me to work, then went to 'Hendon' camp. 11.40am, he went home then came to find me for lunch. Brought him to 'Depot Heights' to eat 'Claypot Laksa' for our lunch. Sent me back to the office, then he went to Jabin's house to do some errands, before meeting his friend at 4pm.

Currently, that love of mine is enjoying himself, having delicious 'tao huey' with his friend. I don't really fancy it but if I'm in the mood, I'll just eat it. =x I just had my dinner, having fruits now. Very full. Thinking of having ice-cream later, should I?

Happy Birthday!

2010-06-29T22:35:00.000+08:00

Happy Birthday To Me!

Advance birthday celebration with Cheryl, Jerry and my love on Friday, advance birthday celebration with family on Saturday!

2010-06-28T07:49:00.002+08:00

Friday (25 June 2010) - After knocking off from work, I took bus 57 and alighted at the bus stop opposite 'Hortpark'. Waited for bus 97 as my love (he booked out at 4pm and went home first to put down his stuffs before he came to find me) was inside the bus, and within a minute the bus arrived. Took the bus together and went to 'Vivo' to meet Cheryl and Jerry. Upon meeting up with them at 6.15pm, we walked around then settled at 'Fruit Paradise' as Cheryl wanted to eat her 'Mango Tart'. Since we have not tried it before, my love and I shared a 'Chocolate and Orange Tart' together. When we were done, Cheryl drove us to 'Big Ben's Place' for my birthday dinner. It was somewhere in 'Bedok' and it's situated in a very secluded place. My love booked a table for us at 7.30pm but due to a jam, we reached at about 7.45pm. Dinner was not too bad, price was reasonable with a one-for-one promotion for 'POSB' or 'DBS' cardholders. We left the place around 9pm and while waiting for our turn to pay the bill, I carried a cute toddler! He was so adorable and not afraid of strangers, really very cute when he smiles. Paid the bill, then Jerry sent Cheryl home which was there when she passed me my birthday present from Jerry and herself. From her house, Jerry sent me home then sent my love back. Thanks!

Saturday (26 June 2010) - Headed over to my love's house about 12noon. Listened to music, used his lappy and we played with the measuring tape (the measurements got bigger and funnier, right my sillyboy?). Lunch was 'Maggie Mee' with lots of ingredients, cooked by the both of us. =) While eating our lunch, we watched another 'VCD', this time round it was a comedy. After eating, we took a bus to 'IMM' to buy paper plates and to collect my birthday cake from 'Coffee Club'. Cabbed back to my house afterwhich, relaxed abit then we went to Uncle Leong's house to pass him his letters, then to my Godmother's house to pass her a cake, followed by going to my Grandma's house for dinner. Dinner was steamboat and it was yummy! Had four bottles of 'Barcardi' bought by Kuku and Kujie but we only drank two bottles. Dessert was a surprise from Daddy, it was jelly in a shape of a dog! =D Very surprised, thanks Daddy! Played 'Wii' as well, very fun to dance together. Mummy and love drank beer together too! The traditional cake-cutting then all of us went back home. My love came over to my house for awhile and we played a game on my lappy. He left about 11.45pm and cabbed back home.

Sunday (27 June 2010) - Went to 'Jurong Point' with my love and we went to buy movie tickets first. Bought tickets for 'Knight and Day' at 1.20pm and 'Toy Story 3' at 4.30pm. After buying, we had our lunch at 'Wendy's'. Walked around and then went to watch our first movie of the day. Approximately a two hour movie which ended around 3.20pm, then we went to 'Harris'. Books there are slightly cheaper than other bookstores, but my love and I decided to come up with a list of books we want to buy then go back there to purchase. At 4.20pm, we went up to the theatre and before we went inside, my love bought for me a 'Cheese Hotdog'. =) 'Toy Story 3' was a shorter movie, about an hour and a half only. After the movie, my love went to have a haircut then we went back to his house to rest. Left his house at 10pm and he sent me home. By the time he called me, it was 11.05pm and I was falling asleep due to a bad headache.

As for today, my love booked in this morning and booking out tonight as he's on leave tomorrow. He applied for a leave tomorrow as it's my birthday. =) Thanks my sillyboy! School also re-opened today so Bea has to wake up early in the morning once again. Traffic was rather smooth despite having more vehicles on the road. Hopefully it will not take a turn for the worse in the days ahead.

It's going to be hectic from now onwards without Jerry around. Three customer service officers instead of four, which means more cases to close for us. I see lots of emails and calls assigned to each of us, and I have not started! Shall go off now, have a wonderful Monday!

Dinner with parents at Vivo yesterday

2010-06-25T07:41:00.002+08:00

Had dinner with my parents yesterday at 'Vivo' after knocking off. Took bus over while parents drove. We went to 'Paris Miki' first as Mummy wanted to repair her spectacles, followed by dinner at 'Soup Spoon' before going back home.

This morning, Daddy sent me to work as it was raining. Managed to spend some quality time with him since I will be going back late tonight. Really appreciate his gesture for waking up early just to send me. Thanks Daddy!

My love is having a jump today, and he had to wake up at 2am just for the jump! He was so busy yesterday and only managed to sleep around 11pm. With approximately three hours of sleep, I really pray hard that he has enough energy to jump and land nicely. Don't want anything to happen to him.

Dinner tonight with my love, Cheryl and Jerry. Pigpig isn't able to make it due to personal reasons. I have no clue about tonight's dinner, not even the exact venue and time. My love said I don't have to plan anything, he will settle everything for me. =) Even though he's so busy, he still makes an effort to plan the dinner tonight with them. Thanks sillyboy. =)

It's Friday!! It's the time to rest and spend quality time with my loved ones. Enjoy your Friday and take care!

Pre-birthday celebration with Mummy and Daddy

2010-06-23T20:00:00.002+08:00

Just back from dinner not too long ago with my parents at 'Ivins'. After I knocked off, I rushed home to put down my stuffs and went out straight away with them for dinner. Although this dinner is supposed to be for my birthday celebration, Bea didn't join us as she had a birthday party to attend.

The food was not too bad, portion was a tad too little but overall it's worth the price. Reasonable and not at all expensive. However, the desserts were not that fantastic. Anyway, many thanks to my parents for the dinner! =)

On the way back home after our dinner, went to a petrol kiosk near my house as Mummy wanted to buy bread for tomorrow's breakfast. At first only Mummy went down while Daddy and I were in the car, but I decided to go down as I had a feeling I might get something for my love. My sixth sense was so true; I bought two things for that sillyboy! He has been looking high and low for it, and when I bought it, I felt so happy that I have a surprise for him. =) Will be passing it to him to on Saturday!

As for now, my love's out with his friends for dinner and he has guard duty tomorrow night. I'll be going to take a rest now. Have a great Wednesday night!

Pre-birthday celebration, weekend, 3rd anniversary!

2010-06-22T07:38:00.003+08:00

Yesterday, after I knocked off at 12.15pm, I went to the main gate to meet my love. =) We took a bus to 'Scape', a new building beside 'Cineleisure'. Had our lunch at 'Sakae Sushi' but the standard wasn't really good. Had 'yoghurt' for desserts and walked to 'Takashimaya'. Went to the lingerie section and that sillyboy of mine insisted on getting two new sets of lingerie for me! He paid for both of them and was so happy about it. It was my anniversary present from him. =) From there, we went to 'Far East Plaza' and 'Ion' before taking a bus to 'Plaza Singapura' for a movie. Caught 'Karate Kid' at 5.45pm with a 'Popcorn' meal to go along with it. Show ended at 8.15pm and since we have some time, we strolled to the bus stop near 'SMU' and bus-ed back to my house. Got back home around 9.30pm and from there, my love went back home.

Last Friday (18 June 2010), met up with Uncle, Moses, Ah Boon and my love for an advance birthday celebration for myself. Before meeting them at 7.30pm, Jerry came to pick me up from work at 5.15pm and drove to 'Pasir Ris Camp' to pick my love up then sent us to 'Raffles City Shopping Centre'. From there, my love and I train-ed to 'Plaza Singapura'. Dinner was at 'TCC' and Moses drove us all to 'The Icon' for alcohol afterwhich. It was a 'Thai' disco, and it never cease to amaze me that Moses have all these kind of places in mind! Opened a bottle of 'Martell' to share with 'Green Tea', 'Coke' and plain water as mixers. My love and I left at 1am as both of us were tired.

Saturday (19 June 2010), my love went to meet his 'CTC' coursemates for lunch at somewhere near 'Lavender'. For me, I went to 'Burger Shack' for lunch and 'Island Creamary' for desserts with Yvonne. After that, we went back to my house and waited for my love to meet us there. Packed my stuffs as I wasn't coming home that night and will only be back on Sunday night. When he reached, we cabbed to 'IMM' to place an order for my birthday cake from 'The Coffee Club' then bus-ed back to his house. Left my stuffs at his house and rested a little while before we headed to my grandma's house for dinner. After dinner, played 'Wii' and left about 8.25pm. Daddy sent both of us to 'Bukit Panjang' interchange and we took a bus back to his house. Reached his house, showered, pluck pluck for him and then watched 'R.S.V.P' with him and Yvonne. Turned in for the night at around 2am.

Sunday (20 June 2010 and also Father's Day!), we woke up at 10plus in the morning. Bathed before going to 'Vivo' with my love and Yvonne. We reached 'Vivo' at 2pm, bought tickets for 'She's Out Of My League' at 3pm and had late lunch at 'Soup Spoon'. Went to 'Page One' after lunch then for our movie. The movie ended about 5pm and so we decided to walk around. Dinner was at 'Bei Shan Chuan' for 'Mala Steamboat'! Walked around after dinner to digest our food and also bought a 'Fruit Tart' for Daddy as his Father's Day gift. Mummy also had a 'Cheese Cake' from 'Bakerzin'. Cabbed back home at 9pm after buying and got home around 10pm.

As for today, my sillyboy booked into camp this morning as he wanted to reach at 8am. He has to be a secretary for a meeting and I hope all goes well. Another thing is, he's having 'Guard Duty' this Thursday night which might mean lack of sleep for him. At least he doesn't have to travel to and fro from 'Hendon Camp' which is quite far from his house and also 'Tampines' MRT station.

This Friday will be my birthday celebration with my love, Pigpig, Cheryl and Jerry. I'm not sure where the dinner will be at, told my love to keep it a surprise for me. Saturday will be my celebration with my family and love at my grandma's house. Looking forward to my birthday as I'll be having birthday off and also get to spend time with my love. =)

And it's 8.29am already, and I haven't started working. My other colleagues are also talking and have not started either. Still, I got to go as I've alot of emails and calls to clear today. If only I have half day again or extra off day...

Happy 3rd Anniversary!

2010-06-21T07:44:00.002+08:00

Happy Third Anniversary My Love!

It's another year we're together, three years of ups and downs, three years of our love. You're forever so sweet; taking a day's leave just to spend our special day together with me, planning today's activities, nothing beats having you by my side.

I'm looking forward to seeing you later and enjoying my day with you. 12.15pm is the time I'll leave the office since I've applied for half day leave, which means it's four hours and fifteen minutes of work till I get to hold you in my arms.

Donkey, see you later! Can't wait!

I ♥ you, my silly baby. =)

The past two days after work...

2010-06-16T07:36:00.002+08:00

The past two days after I knocked off from work, I went over to my love's house to spend time with him. Had dinner which we bought from block 215, watched television and rested together. Simple three/four hours but with lots of love. =)

He told me a piece of good news yesterday; that he's allowed to take leave next Monday on our third year anniversary! I'm on half day leave that day too! =) We also rented a car from this Friday to next Tuesday, celebrating my birthday in advance with Uncle and the rest this Friday, staying out this weekend, Monday's our special day!

I just love that sillyboy of mine, and I want to hang on tightly with him. We've made it all the way until now, through ups and downs, holding hand in hand and overcoming obstacles together. He changed my life, showered me with love and care, never failing to put a smile on my face.

I love you my Baby, you know I do.

Plaza Singapura for three consecutive days

Last Friday and weekend with my love was spent at 'Plaza Singapura', three days consecutively. Though we were walking around the same few shops again and again, the time we spent together was more important. =)

Since he booked out early last Friday, we went for dinner at 'PS', with the intention to catch a movie if there were available timeslots. However, there were none so we had our dinner at 'Thai Express' and walked around an open area outside 'PS' where they were displaying books, toys, stationery and cups. He bought a 'Chip&Dale' mug for me, and it was a surprise because I didn't see him holding it. After looking through the books and nothing attracted us, we bus-ed back to my house then he went back home.

Saturday morning, my love came over and we went to 'Far East Plaza' for a haircut. Daddy drove us there because Bea also need a trim and both Mummy and him can walk around. Appointment was at 11.45am and during the haircut/treatment, my love went to 'Prolouge' in 'Ion' whereas parents shopped around. When Bea and I were done, parents went home with Bea while love and I had 'Wanton Noodles' at level one. Took a bus to 'PS' afterwhich and bought tickets for the movie 'A-Team'. After the movie, we went to 'Popular' in 'Jurong East' and we purchased six 'VCDs' at $20! If I remember correctly, five are horror shows and one is a comedy. Bought dinner back to his house from the coffee shop nearby. Ate dinner, rested, showered then ate our cheap cheap ice-cream together before I went home.

Sunday, we went to 'PS' again. Bought tickets for 'Marmaduke' at 3.15pm and 'Killers' at 7.15pm. Before the movie, we went to a second hand bookstore and both of us bought books. Then we went to 'Carrefour' to buy snacks and we had 'Nachos' during the first movie. After the movie ended near 5pm, we walked around went to 'The Cathay'. Outside, they had a book sale from 'MPH' and my love decided to browse through the books. He ended up buying a book, something very different because he doesn't like reading. Had dinner at 'Coffee Club' in 'Hotel Rendezvous', think I prefer the food at 'TCC', though I like the desserts like 'Mud Pie'. Rushed back to 'PS' but went to 'Carrefour' to buy drinks and luckily, we were on time for the movie. After the movie which ended slightly before 9pm, we took a bus back to my house then he went back home. He didn't book in to camp last night because he had to pass his bunk to other people already.

As for today, it's the last day of his 'AIOC' course. Tomorrow to Friday he's on another course at 'Pasir Ris Camp'. After the course, he will be back at 'Hendon Camp' then crossing over to 'Air Force' on 2 July. I'm feeling very excited for him because it's his lifelong dream to become a pilot, yet he has to be in 'Tamsworth' for two months starting from 18 July. =( That's the horrible part. Still, I know he has to go if not he cannot fulfill his dream. Therefore I will remain optimistic and give him my fullest support.

It's 8.35am, I got to start working now. My love's having breakfast now with his friend before they head back to 'SAFTI' for their lesson which will start at 9am. It should be an easy day for him, since it's the last day and maybe he will be able to end early. For me, there's alot of emails to clear today, not many calls though. I guess it's enough to get me through my Monday blues.

You know I still love you

2010-06-11T07:37:00.002+08:00

My Baby, do you know I love you?

Babylove is back from his outfield =)

2010-06-09T07:41:00.002+08:00

My love is back from his outfield! He called me around 12.09am and told me that he's back already. =) Though I was sleeping when he called, I still managed to hear the vibrations coming from my phone. We didn't talk much, since I was half asleep and he was tired. Still, I'm contented to be able to hear his voice as I thought I'll only be able to hear it tonight. =)

I have a very loving and thoughtful Daddy. I usually put mask weekly, and Daddy is the one who always helps me with it. I will lie down on the bed, he'll put the mask on my face and spread it nicely over my face, pat the excess liquid onto my face and before he washes his hands, he'll clean my jawline and neck to clean off the liquid that might be flowing down. Twenty minutes later, he'll take off my mask for me and throw it away. All I need to do is to wash and dry my face, not much effort needed. I seldom come across fathers doing such a thing for their daughters, usually it's the mothers who'll help. That's why I'm thankful for such a father, though he may be rather strict at times, I still love him! Thanks Daddy! =)

It's Wednesday, and time seems to be passing slowly. The cooling weather is making people drowsy, with no mood to work. With the unpredictable weather as well, many people are falling sick, like Jerry who reported sick this morning. It actually doesn't really matter, since he has tendered his resignation just last week and his last day of work is on 25 June 2010.

Having ham and bread for lunch later, loving prepared by Mummy again. An apple and a little chocolate bun to go along with it, what more can I expect? =) Appreciative of her gestures, also thankful for a mother like her. =)

Looking forward to the end of the week then it's another two days of rest before a new week begins! For now, it's back to emails and calls!

Slow week

2010-06-08T07:47:00.002+08:00

While walking out to the bus stop this morning, the air was quite chilly. The ground seemed damp, i'm guessing it rained last night. I was already feeling very cold and to make matters worse, the bus was colder than before. Alighted at 'Commonweath' and boarded bus 195, luckily the bus wasn't as cold but I still shivered.

Jaelle will be going for community service later in the afternoon, bringing some kids to watch 'Shrek'. The community work is organized by the company but I've never heard about it before. I will want to help out but I've already watched 'Shrek' before and I don't know our company has such community service.

I'll be having ham and bread for lunch which was prepared by Mummy early in the morning. An apple was also given to me. =) Speaking of Mummy, she helped me to wrap my novels yesterday. Very thankful because I take very good care of my novels and will always want to wrap them up nicely before I start reading.

Got to start working now, already 8.51am! Praying hard that my love is fine, that he will be safe and sound when he returns from his outfield tomorrow. Can get to hear his sweet sweet voice tomorrow night! =)

Air Force for my love!

2010-06-07T18:32:00.005+08:00

After waiting for so long, my love finally received an acknowledgement from Air Force Recruitment Centre telling him that he has made it to Air Force! =) I'm so proud of him!

Received an sms from him which he forwarded to me this afternoon. It said that he will be crossing over to the Air Force on 2 July 2010 and might be flying off to 'Tamworth' on 18 July 2010. Asked him how long will he be overseas for and he said maybe two months!!

Had mixed feelings afterwhich; happy and proud that he made it after persevering for so long, that he's a step closer to his dream of being a pilot. On the other hand, I'm feeling sad because he might be overseas for two months.

Still, I won't think so much for now. I will definitely support him and continue doing so. =) I love you my Baby. I'm very proud of you. Thanks for your assurance. =)

Sunday afternoon and my love's outfield

2010-06-07T13:03:00.006+08:00

Yesterday, my love reached my house about 11.15am and we went swimming. =) Swam for about fourty-five minutes only because the water was a tad cold and there wasn't any sun. After swimming, we went back to my house and relaxed before going to 'The Cathay'. Had our lunch at 'Indo Padang' and caught 'A Nightmare On Elm Street' at 3pm. Before the movie, he bought an orange egg mouse for me! =) Movie ended around 4.35pm and we took a bus to 'Queensway Shopping Centre' to collect my spectacles. Collected spectacles, bought ice-cream and 'Tea Leaves Egg' then took bus 197 to 'Jurong East'. When we reached, we took a bus to 'IMM' as my love wanted to get a folder from 'Daiso'. We also bought ingredients from 'Giant' for our 'Lasagna' that we were going to cook in the night. Back to his house after buying, spent alot of effort cooking and then ate. It was a very filling dinner and we couldn't finish everything. Rested after our dinner, he packed his bag for camp then sent me home before he went back to camp. =)

As for this morning, Daddy sent me to work as it was raining. However, when we were reaching the office, the rain stopped completely. It did rain heavily after I changed and wanted to leave my house to go to work on my own. That was the reason why Daddy decided to send me to work but the weather is so unpredictable. Brought a box of biscuits (bought from 'Giant' yesterday), a container of 'Pineapple' biscuits (my love bought it for me last Wednesday after dinner) and a packet of sweets (bought from 'Daiso') to work as well.

My love went for an outfield this morning and will be back only on Wednesday in the late afternoon or evening, which means I can't hear his sweet sweet voice for two nights. He also has a 'Cohesion Day' event this Wednesday night. Outfield plus 'Cohesion Day' equals to lack of sleep for him. =( Hopefully Thursday and Friday will not be so packed/busy then he'll have sufficient rest. Next Tuesday onwards he will be back at 'Hendon Camp' already and travelling distance will be longer. At least he has his iTouch with him to help ease his boredom. =)

So many emails and calls today. Managed to clear one quarter of my assigned emails/calls and there's still quite a number to go. It's 2.09pm, twenty four minutes past my lunch hour. Got to continue working now. =( Three and a half hours more before knocking off!

Honey surprise

2010-06-03T07:40:00.002+08:00

After I knocked off from work yesterday, I cabbed to 'Jurong Point' to get a honey drink for my love and then cabbed to 'Singapore Discovery Centre' as I wanted to pass the drink to him. I wasn't sure if he'll be staying in camp after his lesson ends as he might go out for dinner with his friends. Thus, I got a few of his friends to help me.

Thanks to them, especially Derek, I managed to know that he's staying in camp to study for a test that will be held today. I didn't want to ask my love directly because he's like a worm in my tummy, he knows what I'm thinking so sometimes it's a little hard to surprise him. So when I reached 'SDC', I called him and asked where is he (Have to pretend I don't know anything!). After he said that he would be in camp, I asked if he could come out for awhile. He was shocked so I explained to him that I'd gotten honey drink for him. Told me to wait for him while he walked out and I waited for twenty minutes. I felt bad because his bunk is rather far from the entrance of 'SDC' and walking out will be very long. When I saw him walking towards, he was carrying his bag and his notes! I asked why he brought his bag out and he said he wanted to go home and put his stuffs. Turn of events! All I wanted was to pass him the drink and leave but he said since I was there, might as well go back to his house.

And so, we bus-ed to 'Jurong Point' then changed to another bus and bus-ed to the market near his house. Ate dinner and then walked back to his house from the market. At his house, we spent some time together, rested, and he packed his clothes (black pants and collar tee) for next Wednesday's 'Cohesion Day' in his camp before leaving his house at 9.45pm. He sent me home then cabbed back to camp.

When I was home, unpacked, showered and chatted with Jasmine for awhile. My love called me at 10.45pm when he got back to his bunk. As I was still chatting to Jasmine, I told him I would call him back. 11.25pm, I called my love and we talked for awhile. Since he had to study, I went to bed first.

2.10am, I jumped up from my bed and called him. I thought he didn't call me and I did not check my handphone. I asked him if was still studying so he asked if I saw his sms. Replied him, saying I didn't and checked my handphone. Saw a missed call from him at 1.40am and an sms which said that he was very tired thus wasn't able to call me till I wake up. Felt guilty for waking him up without checking with my phone first but he was so sweet and said it was okay. We ended the conversation about two minutes later and slept.

As for this morning, I was so careless! Was filling up my bottle with water from the water cooler with cold and hot water. I usually will fill it with cold water then the hot water so that my water will end up warm. All the while nothing happened until this morning. If I'm not wrong, my bottle was wet and my grip wasn't firm enough so when I was filling my bottle with the hot water, I lost my grip and the hot water ended up flowing onto my hand. Instinctively, I dropped my bottle and hurriedly washed my hand with the cold water. My hand was quite painful and turned pink-ish but it was still bearable. Filled up my bottle again and went back into the office. Called my love, told him about burning my hand and felt guilty again because he was asleep! I thought he had to wake up by 7.30am today but today he didn't have to wake up so early! Nonetheless, he was concerned and asked me what happened despite feeling so tired. Since he had some time to continue sleeping, I told him to go back to dreamland and sleep a little more. =) He also has a test later so I defintely want him to get more rest.

For now, my hand isn't pink-ish and painful anymore but there's a little bubble. At least it isn't burnt very badly. I'm still able to use my right hand normally so it's a good thing. Which means that I have to start my work already. Take care everyone!

Rainy morning

2010-06-02T07:49:00.002+08:00

Daddy sent me to work this morning as it was raining. The rain was rather heavily but when I reached my workplace, the rain had stopped. The weather is really unpredictable these few days, sudden downpour or it's very warm/humid.

Brought my new black slippers to work as well, the pair that I bought with my love last Friday at 'Plaza Singapura'. I like the base of the slippers where my soles rest on, because it's furry and soft. Very comfortable. Moreover, my love said that this pair is not bad too!

Last night while talking to him, my love said that he has to go for an outfield next Monday to Wednesday. And his course will end on 14 June, so he'll be back at 'Hendon Camp' after that. To me, travelling to 'Hendon Camp' is very time consuming because he has to take a train all the way to 'Tampines', whereas travelling to 'SAFTI MI' doesn't take up so much time. Nonetheless, he has his iTouch with him so it will help to ease the long journey.

It's the second day of June and also mid-week, two more days before Friday arrives. Janice reported sick today, which means that all our emails have to be vetted by Hung Yin. I guess it's because we're supposed to clear the filing room for the mustering exercise and the files/documents are very dusty after being kept for so long. Many of us sneezed and our noses were itchy due to the dust.

8.29am, have to start working already. Hung Yin's laughing so loudly but what's new? Her laughter is always very exaggerating and loud. Okay, got to go!

Late Monday night and super early Tuesday morning

2010-06-01T07:31:00.002+08:00

By the time my love came over to my house last night, it was around 11.15pm already. Before he came over, he had dinner with his friends at 'Holland Village' and afterwards, he cabbed to my house. His friends were going drinking so they couldn't send him somewhere nearer to come over, hence he took a cab.

We played a virtual game on my lappy, lazed around, surfed 'Oddee' and had our 'QT'. =) He didn't stay too long, left about 12.30am. Reason being, we were both rather tired but I think he was more tired than me because his eyes were quite red. That sillyboy told me he's never too tired to find me, never too tired to make peace and wants to spend more time with me. =) And so, he cabbed back to camp after leaving and when he called me after reaching his bunk, it was 1.40am already. Talked to him for awhile then we both slept. =)

This morning, the sky looked gloomy even at 6.35am, which is the time I leave the house every morning. Today is Tuesday, but since it's the school holidays (it started just yesterday and school will resume on 28 June), Daddy will not be sending me to work for these four Tuesdays. He gets to rest too, since he sends Bea to school every morning, so holidays is a good time for him to sleep slightly longer before going to work.

My colleague, Huey Shan, is back from her 'Hong Kong/Shanghai' trip yesterday and is back to work today. She is so nice to help me buy 'White Sesame Peanut Candy' from 'Macau'. I wanted the 'Black Sesame Peanut Candy' but she wasn't able to find it so she got the former for me. I didn't mind because it's the thought that counts!

I just remembered, it's the first day of June! This is the month where my love will be going to 'Brunei', our 3rd year anniversary and my birthday. Nothing beats spending lots of time with him, especially when he's leaving on 23 June. =(

Got to start working already! Lots of emails and calls coming in...

Saturday's dinner, Sunday with my love, Monday!

2010-05-31T19:13:00.002+08:00

My love is coming over later! =) He going to have dinner with his campmates first then head over. What a lovely surprise, as I didn't expect him to be able to have free time today. He had a test today and will be having a test on Thursday as well. That sweet sweet love of mine said he's having dinner with his friends first then spend the night with me as long as I want him in my house. So I asked if it's too troublesome if the dinner venue is far from my house and he replied nothing is too troublesome for him to find me. Simple but sweet sentence from him. =)

So on Saturday, after he booked out around 7.50pm, his friend sent him home then he cabbed over to my place. Cabbed together to 'Wheelock' to have our dinner at 'Sun With Moon'. I heard so much about the place and the famous 'Tofu Cheesecake' and I have finally tasted it! By the time we reached, it was about 9pm and there were still quite a number of people dining there. Slowly had our meal and enjoyed the desserts. Left at 10.45pm and went to 'Borders' to browse through books. By the time we went to queue up for taxi, it was 11.30pm. Got home before 12midnight and my love managed to get home slightly after 12.02am.

Yesterday, we met and went to 'Shaw - Lido' to get tickets for 'Shrek Forever After- 3D' at 2.50pm. Since it was 1pm, we went to 'Ion' for our lunch. Decided on 'Watami' as both of us have never tried before. Afterwhich, walked around and went to 'Prologue' before walking back to Shaw'. Well, the movie was alright but I had a headache when the movie ended. After the show, we strolled to 'Takashimaya' and my love bought his 'Passion Fruit' from 'Auntie Anne's' and we had 'Prata Sausage' for our snack. 'Kinokuniya' was next for I wanted to get my books and my love wanted to search for the book he was looking for. After buying my books and 'Top Gear' (a car magazine which has 'Lamborghini' featured inside in May's issue!), we took a bus down to 'Queensway Shopping Centre' as my new spectacles wasn't having the correct degree. Spent less than ten minutes there and we took a bus back to my love's house. As my headache still persisted, that boy was so sweet to ask me to rest on his bed while he bought dinner back for us. =) Ate, rested, had our 'QT' together then we left his house at 9.35pm. He sent me home and we got back to my house by 9.50pm. Whereas for him, he took a bus back to camp and got to camp around 11plus.

And now, while waiting for him to arrive, I shall upload some pictures on 'Facebook' and relax abit. Monday is going to be over soon!

Thursday night's dinner and Vesak Day (Friday)

2010-05-29T11:17:00.002+08:00

After he book out around 8pm on Thursday, my love cabbed over to 'Westmall' while I bus-ed there to have 'KFC' for dinner. Since it was crowded and there weren't any seats, he decided to take-away and bring the food back to my house to eat. Reached my house, ate the food while watching television, afterwhich we played a game on my lappy. He left around 11plus and took a bus back to his house.

Yesterday, had brunch at 'East Ocean Restaurant' with my family, Grandma and my love. Ate quite a lot and we shopped around 'Isetan' for awhile. Afterwhich, Daddy sent love and I to 'Plaza Singapura' then drove home with Mummy, Bea and my Grandma. While in the car to 'PS', Mummy, Bea, love and I took some pictures. =) After we alighted, bade farewell and went to buy tickets for 'Prince Of Persia' at 3.10pm. Shopped around till 1.45pm then collected 'Wii' stuffs for Kuku. Continued shopping for awhile before we caught our movie. After the movie, we bus-ed to 'Queenstown' mrt station and walked to 'Queensway Shopping Centre'. Collected my spectacles, shared a bowl of 'Katong Laksa' and 'Tutu Kueh', ate 'Tea Leaves Egg', looked for his netting bag but to no avail and left at 7.30pm. Got back to my house at 8.05pm, rested before Jerry and Cheryl came to pick us up for dinner. Settled our dinner at 'Crystal Jade Kitchen' at 'Holland Village'. When we were done, went to pick Jerry's dad somewhere in 'Geylang', then sent love to collect his stuff at 'Hendon Camp', sent Cheryl home, then I was next, before Jerry sent love home then he went back home with his Dad. Thanks!

When love got home, he bathed and cabbed to camp straight away. He had to book in today at 8am so instead of waking up early, he decided to book in last night. Yups yups, he's in camp now, not sure what time he'll be booking out. Really hope he gets to book out early, for today is a special day to me. =)

Parents are now on the way back with lunch for Bea and I, we're having 'Prawn Noodles'. Thinking of it makes me miss the 'Prawn Noodles' at 'Thompson'...

Sore throat, my love's coming back from his outfield today

2010-05-27T07:39:00.002+08:00

My throat is feeling sore since yesterday afternoon, probably because of the food I ate during our centre's lunch. It was a little heaty and too much fried food, though there were salad and soup-y noodles. There were 'kuehs', 'popiah', 'pancakes', 'pig stomach soup', 'dao huey' and so on. It was actually a 'Penang' variety and the boss is from 'Penang' too. We were supposed to eat till 2.30pm but we were done by about 1.30pm and left at 2pm! Everyone got back to the office full and sleepy, with no mood to continue working.

Made a new friend today. He's actually my neighbour and working at 'Defence Technology Towers' too. While waiting for the bus, he got up to me and thanked me for helping him yesterday - what I did was to help him wake a lady up from her sleep as he had to alight but the lady was blocking his way and he didn't dare to wake her up, so I patted her arm twice to wake her up. The whole journey to work (in both buses 970 and 195) we were talking, but I didn't talk much because I felt a little awkward.

My love will be back from his outfield today! =)) Not sure when will he be booking out later but hopefully he gets to book out early so that we can have dinner together.

Having brunch with my family tomorrow and my love. =) Afterwhich, I'll be collecting my new spectacles from 'Queensway'! It's a good thing tomorrow's a public holiday, can rest and relax instead of going to work.

It's 'Eat With Your Family Day' today, so we'll knock off at 5pm this evening! Half an hour earlier actually makes no difference, but it's better than nothing! Shall start working now!

Outfield for my love today, NPC lunch buffet

2010-05-26T07:36:00.002+08:00

My love will be going for an outfield today and will only be back tomorrow. That means we won't be able to chat tonight. It's alright, since tomorrow is Thursday and he can book out in the evening/night as Friday is a public holiday. =) I'll be meeting him after he books out, but he still isn't sure what time he'll be released.

Leaving the office at 11.30am later for our centre's lunch buffet at 'Princess Terrace Cafe' in 'Copthrone King's Hotel'. There will be a chartered bus to send us to and fro, and most probably be back in the office by 2.30pm to 3pm.

Another of my colleague is going for her wisdome tooth extraction today. Three weeks ago it was me, then last week was Jaelle's turn and this week is Ma'am Seet. According to her, she didn't dare to go and extract it earlier because she was afraid of the pain but now that it's hurting her, she has no choice but to go ahead.

It's 8.30am already, and I've got to start cracking. Quite a number of emails/calls to handle today, and they can take up some of my time till 11.30am. Three hours before leaving the office, nine hours before I knock off, fourteen hours before I go to bed and hit the sack.

Take care everyone! It's already mid-week!

Short week!

2010-05-25T07:48:00.003+08:00

Monday is finally over, looking forward to end of Thursday! This week's going to be a short one, however the time seems to crawl by slowly. Just two more days to go before Thursday!

My love called me around 11.25pm last night and the reason for him calling me so late is because he has planning to do. For 'AIOC', it's going to be very busy for him with lots of things to do. As always, I hope he has sufficient sleep. And since Friday is a public holiday, he has to book in on Saturday for make up lessons. =(

Jaelle is back in the office today and she seems alright. Told me her extraction didn't hurt, she was able to eat normal food the day after the extraction, and she still can laugh without her gums aching. However, she also has swollen cheeks even until now. Such a big difference between my extration and hers.

Having 'Garlic Bread' for breakfast which Daddy bought. =) After eating, got to start working already. I think there'll be quite a number of emails/calls again so it can occupy my time, if not it's going to be boring. Till then, take care and have a great Tuesday!

Simple yet sweet weekend with my love

2010-05-24T13:01:00.003+08:00

Spent a simple yet sweet weekend with my love. =) Two movies, three consecutive meals with beef, lots of love!

Friday (21 May 2010): My love's live firing ended late and when he got back to his bunk it was about 8.30pm. After he booked out at 9pm, he went straight home and I went over to his place to find him. Initially, we were supposed to have dinner together but he was so tired after waking so early that morning and had a nagging headache so he rested while I helped him to massage his aching arms, neck and back. Stayed till about 10.30pm before I went back home.

Saturday (22 May 2010): We went to 'Plaza Singapura' and had our lunch at 'Ichiban Sushi', where we had our first meal with beef. Afterwhich, went to 'Dhoby Ghaut' control station and helped Kuku collect a set of 'Wii' remote control and nunchuk. Shopped around, caught 'Once A Gangster' at 3.05pm then after the movie, we bus-ed to 'Queensway Shopping Centre' as my love wanted to find a netted bag for camp. Within five minutes of reaching, that sillyboy bought 'Tea Leaves Egg' for me! =D Searched for his netted bag but to no avail, however, I managed to make a pair of spectacles! I really love the frames and even he said so! Left at 7.30pm and we settled our inner was at 'Aston's' located along 'Sixth Avenue' where we had our second meal with beef. He sent me home afterwhich and I got home by 10.20pm.

Sunday (23 May 2010): Headed to 'Vivo' and had our third meal with beef at 'Shabu Shabu'. It's a 'Japanese' steamboat buffet restaurant which serves lots of quality food at a reasonable price. You get to eat-all-you-want amount of 'Salmon sashimi', 'Black Angus Beef', 'Wagyu Beef', and so on at approximately $33.80. We've been there once before and really enjoyed the food so we went there again yesterday. =) Walked around when we were done, went to 'Page One' to browse through books before watching 'The Losers' at 2.50pm. After the movie, we decided to have desserts at 'Honeymoon Desserts'. Went to 'Giant' to buy snacks before taking a bus back to his house. Got back to his house at 6.30pm, rested for awhile, then had dinner that he bought back from block 215. Watched a 'Korean' drama serial with him till 9pm and he packed his bag for camp after the show. Left his house at 9.20pm and he sent me home before he went back to camp. By the time he called me, it was 11.50pm already.

As for today, I went to work with Monday blues (what's new?) but knowing that this Friday is a public holiday makes me a tad happier. Moreover, this Wednesday my centre will be having lunch together (which means about half of the working time will be gone eating) and Thursday is 'Eat With Your Family' day where we will be released at 5pm. Sadly, it wouldn't really be an enjoyable long weekend for me. My love has to book in on Saturday and will probably book out only at 5pm. =( It's actually an important day for me so I hope he'll be released earlier.

Half of Monday had passed already! Hopefully the other half will pass quickly too. Work's boring even though there's quite a number of emails/calls today to occupy my time. Shall endure a little more...

Happy 35th Monthsary! Dinner with my love last night

2010-05-21T07:45:00.002+08:00

Happy 35th Monthsary My Babylove! =)

Had a late dinner with my love last night about 8.30pm at 'Bukit Timah Hawker Centre'. Before that, he was at 'Jurong Point' with his army friends celebrating another guy's birthday so when they were done, his friend sent him to a bus stop near his house and he took bus 66 to the market. As for me, I walked from my house to the market which took around ten minutes.

We finished our dinner at 9.10pm and bus-ed back to my house. He stayed at my house for awhile and I showed him my childhood pictures! At the same time, I was helping him to massage his forearm, triceps and biceps. Reason being, he worked out on Wednesday night with his army friends so his muscles were aching. Truth be told, I enjoyed massaging his muscles for him because he looked so cute with his scrunched up face when I accidentally massaged too hard and it hurt! I may sound very mean but he knows what I meant by saying I enjoyed myself. =)

He left about 10.20pm and bus-ed back to 'Jurong Point' before changing to another bus to go back to camp. By the time he returned to his bunk and called me, it was 11.38pm already. Slightly more than an hour! That sillyboy of mine must be very tired...

As for today, my love is having live firing and had to wake up very early this morning! In my previous post(s), I wrote that he had outfield on Wednesday and live firing on Thursday, but I didn't hear him clearly because in fact, he had outfield on both Wednesday and Thursday, live firing today.

Meeting my love tonight for dinner again! Hopefully he gets to book out early so that we can have our 'QT' together. =) See you later Baby! =)

Slight drizzle

2010-05-20T07:52:00.002+08:00

Went to work this morning without Daddy sending me since it wasn't raining. However, when I was in bus 195 near 'Queenstown' mrt station, there was a slight drizzle. The slight drizzle became rain once I alighted. Managed to walk briskly from the bus stop to my office, don't want to be caught in the rain.

My love will be having live firing today, so most probably he'll return to his bunk very late. I will be meeting him tomorrow to have dinner! =) It's our 35th monthsary, that's why. =) And next Saturday, on 29 May, he has to report back to camp for some event. Luckily it's not a whole day thing or he can't book out that day, because it's a special day for me. =)

Jaelle's isn't in the office from today till next Monday. She will having two of her wisdom teeth extracted later at 10.30am. I think she's a little nervous, but who wouldn't be? It's going to be an operation with bleeding and pain afterwards, the thought about it brings back bad memories of my own extraction just last Tuesday.

Yvonne is on leave until Monday as she's studying/preparing for her examination. Good luck woman! Study hard!

It's 8.30am already! Got to start cracking! Have a great Thursday!

Wednesday, third rainy morning in a row

2010-05-19T07:32:00.002+08:00

It's the third rainy morning in a row. What's with the weather these days? Yesterday, it was raining rather heavily after I knocked off but when I alighted at the bus stop outside my house thirty minutes later, the rain had completely stopped.

My love has an outfield today and live firing tomorrow. For both days, it's very likely that he'll get back to his bunk very late. I'm wondering if he will get sufficient rest if he returns to his bunk late in the night, he's always so tired. Previously in 'CTC', he was in syndicate four but now that he's in 'AIOC', he changed to syndicate three. I don't think the change in syndicate will affect anything, just hope he will meet and have nice friends there. =)

It's Wednesday! Though I can't say that Monday and Tuesday passed quickly, I still pray hard the subsequent days will pass by quickly. Janice will be back in the office this afternoon, after her week-long holiday in 'Hong Kong' since last Tuesday. Actually, she returned yesterday but afraid that she will not be able to wake up early for work, she took half day morning leave.

Our centre will be having a 'social' lunch together next Wednesday at 'Princess Terrace Cafe' in 'Copthorne King's Hotel'. It's only for us 'NPC-ians', organized by Mr Chin, and it aims to let us have a bonding session through the lunch. The food that they serve is 'Peranakan', and even though it sounds good, I'm not sure if I'm able to chew it.

I got to start working now, and about one-third of the people are not in the office yet. My guess would be they're caught in a jam due to the rain, but anything can happen.

Have a great mid-week everyone! =)

Rainy morning again, dinner and movie with my love yesterday

2010-05-18T13:18:00.003+08:00

It rained again this morning. Not as heavy as yesterday, just light rain. Although I really wished I could hide under my blanket and continue sleeping, I can't. =(

Had a wonderful time spent with my love at 'Vivo' yesterday after I knocked off. Had our dinner at 'Japanese Street' and chocolate ice-cream at 'Awfully Chocolate'. Caught 'The Back-up Plan' at 7.15pm. It was quite hilarious, romantic and touching, teared a bit at some parts too. After the movie ended around 9.15pm, we took bus 61 back to my house. It was a fourty-five minutes journey, with me falling asleep on love's shoulder. Before I fell asleep, I was lying on his shoulder and he alternated between patting my head, stroking my head and combing his fingers through my hair. =) Reached my house at approximately 10pm and after lingering at the doorstep for awhile, he left for home. =)

He got back home and packed his stuffs before heading back to 'SAFTI' to book in. By the time he called me at 12.30am after reaching his bunk, I was sound asleep. That sillyboy was also tired so we didn't talk much and went to bed.

My love has a new course starting from today till mid-June; 'Advance Infantry Officers Course' (AIOC). He completed another course before this from 12 April to 14 May; 'Company Tactics Course' (CTC). When he's done with this course, he still has to go 'Brunei'. =( For now, I just want him to excel in this course, do well and hopefully he will not be so tired out.

It's a week since I had my bottom right wisdom tooth extracted. Still a little swollen, unable to open my mouth wide and can't chew very well. Another thing is, it's quite uncomfortable now that my tooth is out, because my right side is quite empty, hole-y and lumpy now. I wonder how long must I wait before I can eat 'Mala' steamboat.

As for now, I will endure my food cravings! =D

Rainy weather, back to work again

2010-05-17T07:30:00.002+08:00

It's a rainy morning. Woke up in the middle of the night because it was a little cold due to the rain and it contiued to rain until I got to work.

Daddy sent me to work this morning, and somehow it seemed like I hadn't had any long break last week. Especially since I'm feeling a little tired now, it doesn't make things better. =( Reason being, I slept alot during my four days of rest at home. Must be because of the antibiotics which made me drowsy.

My love is definitely enjoying his sleep now. No need to wake up so early, able to wake up when he has slept enough, enjoy the cool weather and snuggle under his blanket. Got to remind him to leave the house at 4.30pm later, so that he can head to 'Vivo' first to get our movie tickets.

It doesn't feel good to be back in the office. Not when it's raining now, the colleagues here and I have no idea what to eat for lunch since there's no porridge. At least I don't really have Monday blues, because I'm meeting my sillyboy in ten hours! =)

Saturday with my love and Jasmine, quality time spent with my love on Sunday

2010-05-16T20:48:00.003+08:00

It's raining heavily now. Good weather to sleep and snuggle under the covers, enjoying the cool weather. =)

Yesterday, the whole afternoon was spent with my love and Jasmine (she's actually my love's 'OCS' camp mate's ex-girlfriend). We met for lunch at 1.15pm and our lunch was at 'Crystal Jade Kitchen' in 'Plaza Singapura', spent alot of time there just talking, eating and catching up. Since we still had lots of things to chat about, we headed to 'One Caramel' which was located along 'Handy Road' for desserts. Ordered three different types of cakes and shared among us. Talked alot till it was near 5.15pm before we had to go our separate ways. My love and I sent her to the mrt station before taking a bus to my Grandma's house. I had porridge while my Grandma, aunts.Keith, Gerald and love. Parents and Bea weren't there as my parents had to attend Auntie Carol's birthday dinner so Bea decided to stay home and study. After dinner, rested awhile before going over to Keith's house to play 'Band Hero'. Played awhile then left at 8plus. Love and I went back to my house while grandma and aunts went home. My love stayed at my house till 12.10am before going home.

As for today, I went over to my love's house. Stayed at his house relaxing, accompanied him to watch television, lazed around and used my lappy. =) Went downstairs after dinner to buy ice-cream. When we got back upstairs, Yvonne passed me love's handphone telling me Mummy called. The reason for calling was it was raining so Daddy wanted to come and pick me up from love's house. Therefore, I hurriedly ate my ice-cream while sweet sweet love helped me to pack my lappy and adapter. Daddy came not long after and love sent me downstairs, supporting me from the slippery floor. Thanks Baby!

It's back to work tomorrow. I'm dreading it, but it's not because of the long break that I had. It's because of HY, I wonder what she'll say about my still swollen cheek. However, I have something to look forward to, which is dinner and movie with my love after I knock off. =) He doesn't have to book in tonight as he's having off tomorrow, and will only be booking into camp tomorrow night. =) Happy me!

Dinner with love's course mates

2010-05-15T00:47:00.002+08:00

Had dinner with my love's 'CTC' course mates at some chinese restaurant in 'Paragon'. Not that I really ate much because of my tooth, but I managed to eat some food like fish, noodles and the dessert.

There were lots of food in fact, and by the amount and the looks of the food (without taking into consideration the name of the restaurant as well), the meal should be very expensive. However, we were being treated by one of the course mates, who was in fact my love's 'platoon commander' previously.

Dinner started at about 8.30pm, ended close to 10pm. After the dinner, we parted our ways while love and I strolled around for awhile in town. Took bus 174 about 10.35pm and he sent me home. =)

After sending me, he went to find the same group of friends (course mates) at 'Velvet'. They wanted to drink/chill so arranged to meet at 12midnight. Yups yups, he's now there with his friends.

I'll be meeting him tomorrow and dinner will be at my Grandma's house, though my parents and Bea will not be going (Bea has to study and my parents have to attend Auntie Carol's birthday dinner)! Sunday is going to be extra quality time with him; watching television, playing games, doing nothing! =)

I love weekends! =D

Surprise for my love again, swollen cheek

2010-05-13T19:25:00.002+08:00

My sweet sweet love surprised me again. =) He's on his way to my house to visit me. He called at 6.22pm and we were talking normally. A few minutes later, I asked where he was and he said he was going out. I replied 'oh' and next thing he said was to open my door fourty-five minutes later. Shocked as I was, I asked him if he was serious and yes, he was. =)

Hence, while waiting for his arrival, I shall blog a little. My right cheek is swollen, since yesterday. In fact, today was worse. The sore-ness, the uncomfortable feeling, the pressure. =( Had been sleeping alot and eating porridge for all my meals ever since Tuesday's dinner. For someone who dislike eating porridge, I must say I'm surviving.

Talking is actually a torture too. I usually put my phone on my right ear and talk, however, I have to either talk using my left ear or not rest my phone on my right cheek. Not a very comfortable feeling.

Just received a message from my love. It said "knock knock baby". =) Got to go and open the door for him already. =)

wisdom tooth extraction, my love came specially to visit me

2010-05-12T09:02:00.002+08:00

Had my bottom right wisdom tooth extracted yesterday at 11.30am. Daddy took leave the whole day so that both he and Mummy were able to accompany me. I will not go into details about the minor operation. All I know that it's very painful, alot of blood, and even with anesthetic, I still felt the pain.

The whole procedure took about fourty-five minutes, and my right cheek hurt badly. Couldn't really control my saliva due to the numb-ness and anesthetic. Daddy drove home and on the way, it was raining heavily.

Got home, bathed, used abit of my lappy, before sleeping. Mouth really hurt alot. Dinner was porridge with fish, cooked by Mummy. Was trying hard to chew the fish as I couldn't really open my mouth.

My love surprised me by coming to visit me in the night, about ten plus. I didn't expect him to come because he said he was busy hence no sms/calls from him. At first he asked me what was I doing, so I replied him saying I was using my lappy and resting, why? His next message said he was on the way to my house and I shockingly replied him by asking if he's too tired. Next thing I knew, he replied my message, asking me to open the door.

Kept asking him why he came, when he was tired and slept at 4.38am the day before. He said he came to visit me because I was in pain. My sillyboy, made me feel so loved. =) He didn't stay long, left about 11.30pm. The time doesn't matter, is the thought that counts and the quality time we had. =) By the time he reached his camp, it was 12plus already. Thanks my love!

Today, I woke up with a swollen right cheek, and didn't sleep well the whole night. Kept waking up the swallow my saliva, and when I do so, my cheek would hurt. Sigh. Four days of mc, four days of pain. =(

Wisdom tooth extraction tomorrow

2010-05-10T07:54:00.002+08:00

I'll be going for my wisdom tooth extraction tomorrow, appointment is at 11.30am. Thus, I will not be in the office from tomorrow till Friday. Have four days of medical leave, but will be suffering in pain. =(

My 'OA' desktop was spoilt since last Friday afternoon, therefore I won't be able to use it till they repair. It's hard to work without it, so I'll do some 'Data Capturing' work instead.

I think this week will past by very quickly, but having minor Monday blues. Even though I don't have to wake up early, I'm still dreading the extraction tomorrow.

Shall go and print out the supporting documents already. Have a lovely week ahead! Take care. =)
