time passes so fast! it's the last day of another year. with the closure of 2009 and the arrival of 2010, how would things turn out to be?

it has been a happening year as well as a year full of good and bad events. there are just some things that i fail to understand why the outcome has to be what it was, but nevertheless, we have survived through. resolutions are asked every year so as to look forward to something positive in the new year. but apparently, there isn't any much changes to the resolutions i set last year on the same day. instead, i was hoping more for closer family ties and trust rather than good health this year because too many things have happened within a short frame of time. as much as i am old enough to understand what's happening, but i guess ignorance is the best choice after all, i rather seek for peace than quarrel.

family. the termination of my dad's job brought me to deeper thoughts that perhaps earning more money didn't win over family warmth. the gap of 14 years seemed to have cast a shadow on me to make it hard for me to break the obstacle at times. at the same time, it came to me that our family was much happier before we moved to the current place at bukit timah. i miss it, and i really do. the days of having family outings, having homecooked meals with the sun shining in, watching movies on bean bags with everyone cramp in the room... but i wonder how am i supposed to find it back when i lost it long ago? will i be able to? trying to adapt might be the hardest but when it is done, you will know that all is worth it, because NO ONE ELSE can replace the warmth you get from your own family. if you choose otherwise, then it would be you to regret when it comes and along it comes the consequences too.

the last day of the year is also for me to evaluate how have i passed the year 2009. it seemed fresh to me that i have just started my uni life in RMIT not long when i have passed through 2 semesters.

friends. new social circles, internal friends politics; all these just seem to be inevitable. also as a friend, i might have fail to stay by for the most important things where no one could have expected and could have least expect it. this is most probably the worst thing that i have failed to perform as a friend which i was kind of disappointed with myself; but at least, everything is settled and is over for now.

relationship. i don't know if i have become a better girlfriend in the eyes of baby but hopefully i had (: i don't exactly know if his love for me has increased as time passes, but it did for me (: it wasn't as smooth-sailing as it was as compared to the previous year. the pressure from work and the stress of studies in combination with the tight schedule has made us argued once in a while. and there was one serious one which happened this year. i understand that such incidents happened between couples but the fear of losing him amounts up to much more than what anyone of you can imagine. argh, i don't even want to think about it. 4 more months to his ORD, 12 months to the end of my uni life, our 3rd countdown, we shall move together as one as what we plan, what you say, baby?

in overall, 2009 has been a year of happenings. 2010 shall make it better by making possible of more positive happenings. it has been some time since i last post such an entry, and it don't come by often. alright, it should end here now. happy new year! and happy 25th month in advance, baby! (:

merry christmas to all! had a different christmas celebration this year! no family gathering christmas party (although i miss receiving presents!) but i spent a good one with friends and baby! (:

met baby for dinner yesterday but was slightly late as i was having some shopping around town with mummy and jazreel, and we decided to have coffee at starbucks before i head off, but who knows time was forgotten when we started chatting...sorry baby! didn't mean to be late...had mos burger for dinner before heading for a movie! (:

big hugs and kisses to baby who queued for 45 MINUTES just to get two tickets at the D row for the 1955 movie for Alvin and the Chipmunks 2! appreciate your love, baby! *muacks muacks* i know he don't exactly enjoy such movies, but he ALWAYS accompanies me to watch them! and what's more? i enjoyed the movie even though critics were not exactly fantastic.

baby stayed over last night, and upon reaching home, i saw this christmas card on my table and wondered who was the nice person who sent me a card this year? make a guess...


yeah! it was nicole sweets! ah! so sweet of her! no wonder she asked for my address the other round. (: but the card was simple but the contents of the message was warming. see you soon sweets!

3rd christmas spent with baby this year! (: decided to make it simple and loving instead of heading out to crash with crowds...made lunch for baby this afternoon, and glad that he enjoyed his lunch even though my usual standard wasn't there (cos i am too used to my kitchen space). the following week is gonna to be rather packed for me though, with orientation, work, stayovers and countdown, hope my week is filled with fun! most importantly, baby is on leave next week but we are both busy for the first 3 days of the week but still, i'm so looking forward to it! yeah! (:

alright, online project meeting tomorrow morning, meanwhile, enjoy the christmas night! (:

it's christmas eve as i type this entry...so merry christmas! (:

yesterday's project meet was pretty alright just that we got to postpone some stuffs due to the festive period (:

met up with the girls tonight at Marina Square for shabu shabu and moved on to gift exchange at Cafe Cartel! yeah! it was super fun! (: too bad we can't always have frequent gatherings due to our difference in schedules but we are having sufficient ones to ensure that we are kind of updated with things...baked cookies for them as i haven't been baking for them for some time already...sorry!





with the season to give currently, everywhere is having sales! it's not easy to get out of a shopping mall not buying anything unless you just came back from overseas. had the intention of just dinner and gift exchange, but i came home with a dress from perkins. argh! someone save me from shopping? (: gonna to head town again with mummy and sis before meeting baby for dinner at woodlands tomorrow. can't wait! cos it has been a week since i last saw him!

have a good christmas and it's back to work before orientation is on coming monday. another busy week with fun. (: update soon!

hello! it's been almost a week since i last blogged, been rushing WIL 1 assignment! but at least it was all over when i dropped it in the box around 12 plus yesterday! yeah! relaxed weekend guaranteed, but without the company of baby. ): it's okay, i will get his company during the week of christmas, i'm sure. (:

before all this, enrolment happened during this week too, for us to choose our minor this time round. and christmas shopping was done with stef yesterday at Takashimaya! crowded but i cleared most of my christmas gifts!





took our time to relax at wisma's starbucks before heading home, and the traffic was bad, i was stuck in the jam within town for 30 mins at around 8 plus! the crowd was crazy!

looking forward to the christmas party at audrey's place tmr, first christmas party of this year! but it's back to projects next week with christmas happening in between. shall update soon when possible! have a good weekend! (:

it's the weekends again! but i am not exactly happy because 1) i have WIL assignment 1 due in a week's time, 2) baby got to stay in this whole weekend and i will only get to see him next week. but at least, it has been more or less a fulfilling week for me. (:

baby came over on tuesday which he had japanese food for dinner, cha soba and sushi! they were not fantastic but at least they were edible. (: made salmon cheese and tuna mayo sushi! but i think the cha soba was the best! bought my fav store, daiso! affordable and good!


went to work on wed to clear the remaining calls so that i could focus on doing WIL these 2 weeks...WIL word count currently stands at 200 plus words, oh my, the word limit is 2000. someone please help? (: work was efficient on wednesday but went shopping with val after work that day and i got 2 dresses, 1 pair of legging and 1 belt. got to curb my spending power, this is not going to help in any case. but val spent too! hehe.

another stayhome weekend for me so that i could do up WIL so as to make sure that baby gets to check it before i submit it (date due: 18 Dec 2009). after i get to submit this, finally it's the season to celebrate! yeah!! i am looking forward to that! ((:

went for dinner with baby last night and caught 'Princess and the Frog', it did have a happy ever after ending; so sweet...went for braces review this afternoon and my orthodontist has discharged me after 6 years going to NDC...

alright, shall get back to WIL and hope i will enjoy my weekend abit...take care people! (:

hello! it's another good weekend for me although i would be rushing WIL when tomorrow comes...

post exam gathering was held on friday at ECP and weather was clear when the event officially started! big thanks to the planning team as well as those who make time to come despite the weather and the heavy traffic. (: had fun preparing with the planning team. great job guys!





although was home late after the BBQ at ECP, had a packed schedule for saturday too, but it was with much anticipation because it was the official celebration of our 2nd year! caught 'Couples Retreat' at PS GV; dinner was great at Elizabeth Hotel, planned dessert at MaxBrenner which was cancelled due to the rain as walk to Esplanade is a must do every anniversary. ): ohwell, another time then. but still big thanks to baby! *muacks*





the day might have ended slightly earlier than planned, but baby and i did enjoy each other's company just that town is really too crowded for us to roam around on weekends. at the same time, baby was having a flu due to lack of rest and moreover i am meeting him later, so i suggested that we cancel the trip to esplanade. though i am a little disappointed but i know there will be such chance in the future, i rather he takes care of his own body before going anywhere with me. (:

last 2 audits to clear tomorrow with jazreel, and it would be real time to start on WIL as there is only 11 days left! anyway i cleared all modules although not with excellent results, but pass is sufficient. alright, shall update when possible. (:

it's another new month! i always love the month of December, it never fail to make me happy because of 3 things. firstly, it's baby and my annual anniversary month which lands on the 1st. secondly, it's christmas where the atmosphere will make everyone feel happy. lastly, it's the end of one year with the intention of a nice beginning in the following year! (:

anyway, met baby up for a simple dinner tonight since it is officially our 2nd year! happy 2nd year, baby! we will be having our official celebration this saturday! (: but we exchanged the gifts for each other tonight after dinner... got 3 tees and a belt for baby, all fitted him to a T and the belt looks nice on him too! i am getting better at buying shirts for baby these days! hehe!

and due to work commitments in camp, baby is pretty busy this week, so much so that he has to stay in for 4 nights this week although he is supposed to have daily bookout. ): as i thought that he wouldn't be able to get my gift since there was almost no time; i saw this on his table upon arriving his place! that immediately brought a smile to my face (:

i did not tell him what kind of designs i wanted, but close friends and baby would know that i wouldn't like things that are complicated, so simplicity is the most important factor. as compared to the previous necklace baby bought for me last year, he will always get me something with the heart shape to indicate his love for me...(: so sweet of you baby! love you loads!



with the beginning of the new month, it would mean that we are only 2 days away from the release of exam results! just pray for a pass for ALL modules, then i will be super contented! anything more than that, i will be thankful for that. (: *prays hard*

at the same time, i am looking forward to the post exam gathering on friday and also the anniversary dinner on saturday! (: so many things to look forward to, hopefully it's all good news (: alright, it's work tomorrow in the morning. shall update soon and happy 2nd year again baby! loves!!
