Edited and semi-censored :)


i usually dont hate people. but there is this certain group of people i absolutely cannot stand. i usually dont swear. but there is this certain group of people that always makes my blood boil and all the swear words would come out (awarded with a disapproving stare by my bf lol)

you know what i saw downstairs which made me go "what the FUCK" and my bf was shocked. i saw a SHAVED sib husky. cleanly shaved. only the head and the tail had fur. you aren't supposed to shave huskies and malamutes. why can't you shave huskies and malamutes? okay..lesson time. Their cooling process is done via panting from the mouth, sweating at the paws and cooling the blood in their ears so shaving does nothing to make them feel cooler. and if you shave their fur, you'll instead expose them to UV rays and parasites as well as insects they might have been protected against if they still had their fur on. the top coat of the husky/malamute keeps them cool actually because it protects them from the sun.

I hate people who only care about having good looking dogs and not caring at all about whether the surroundings are suitable for the dog. i have a friend who doesnt walk his two 12 kg shih tzus at all because he claims he has no time. no time then dont keep. they are not supposed to be so heavy anyway. it's not good for their hearts. i don't understand why some people want to keep pets when they can't even be responsible enough to know that some pets need certain things and be responsible enough to take care of them for life.



sigh.. anger dissipates...all i'm trying to say is please don't buy a dog or any other animal because it looks good. please assess yourself if you are capable to take care of the animal for its life. and please ensure that it is possible for it to live a long healthy and happy life... yeah that's all. i had fun today with jo qiyuan cheryl zuan xiaolan hui fangzhou huiyu siobhan but i'll update when im in a better mood. sorry for angry entry but i'm just very protective of animals :)





OH WELL... photos for the day would be updated soon. :) together with outing photos tmr. :) oh yes and some really sweet stuff on hui's blog (which i will not link so HAHA, don't be disappointed) :) :)





it's times like this when i realise how really important some people are to me. even if we don't meet everyday. i guess it doesn't mean much if you meet everyday but you guys just stay at where you are without knowing each other anymore than before, or when you start detesting his/her company. on the other hand, i'm enjoying van's company alot, and i don't want her to go:( ugh, why can't it be someone else that's leaving instead, so i won't feel so sad. sigh. but i guess if she's overseas, bitching sessions get safer considering how little contact she's gonna have with the people i bitch about (i'm conveniently overlooking the convenience of dotcom). meeting up everyday isn't even enough. sigh, love ya lots girl.



Yeah i know i haven't met her for like 2 years and saying "ilovehertobits" is weird. to others maybe. but i guess not to the both of us because we were really close in secondary school. we were there for each other through the hardest of times, through break ups, through friendship problems..and she's always been my support when i didnt do well for examinations. :) i have no idea how come we somehow lost contact with each other. but i'm really glad i found her back because she is really a great friend. she's honest but not tactless.. if she likes/dislikes you, she shows it...and i usually can tell what she's pissed about :P So i'll miss you alot too when i leave but i'll still write to you :) thanks gal for all the memories :)

Anyway, thank you xiaolan for the card and the present (i haven't opened it yet :P). thank you huiyu and zuanling for the cards and the soft-toy clover to wish me all the best:) i had a short heart2heart with siobhan and realised how i missed talking to her. i missed all those long chatting sessions i had with her. i miss teasing zuanling. i miss xiaolan's cold jokes. i miss huiyu being ostracized by us. and so much more!

I'll end off with a part of a song that i insist i would use as my wedding song. and a song that is dedicated to him :)

Its always been a mystery to me,

How two hearts can come together,

And love can last forever.

But now that I have found you I believe,

That a miracle has come when God sends the perfect one.

So gone are all my questions about why,

And i've never been so sure of anything in my life

Oh I wonder what God was thinking,

when he created you.

I wonder if He knew everything I would need,

Because he made all my dreams come true.

When God made you,

He must have been thinking about me.

Making Memories of US


NOTE TO READER: allow me to be really mushy in this entry lol.
Saturday: Kt and me went to sentosa and booked a room at siloso beach resort. unfortunately, because we didnt make a reservation, we couldnt get the $400++ rooftop garden suite. it's two storeys high with a private jaccuzzi on the second storey. :) so yepyep. great for couples :) We checked into a deluxe room instead because we wanted to spend some time tgt, as well as get away from everything else because after all, this would be the last time we're spending time tgt before i fly






Kt absolutely loved the windows because they were huge from the ceiling down. he said next time our house'd have glass windows from ceiling to floor :)




Two single beds... but we ended up squeezing on one bed only :P









This is the view from the room...AWESOME right??? :) :) :)








After bathing, i was SUPER cold so darling removed his shirt for me :) :)

We wanted to go play at the beach but because of the rain and the fact that i had to meet my parents for dinner, we left for vivo city instead :)


We met my family and uncle edward's family at vivo city and they helped me choose another luggage bag for my travel :) it was really chio. and it was the first time i signed my credit card. LOL. ANYWAY, we went to no signboard seafood to eat as a farewell dinner for me and darling was invited too!! melanie was super shy to talk to me cuz kt was there and he was "big strong and scary" hahaha. LOL. but emmanuel (the son) took an immense liking toward my bf. throughout the dinner, he kept saying "eh, korkor".


Dinner was fantabulous!! there was lobster salad, abalone and broccolli, chilli crab, some tofu thing, oatmeal prawns, eefu noodles, fried chicken, mango sago and many more!! i was so full and darling was so delighted to have such great food after being cooped up in camp for so long ;) :)


Perpetua and her grandfather :D


Perpetua and me :) :)

Uncle Edward, Auntie Pauline, Me, Little melanie :) :)

Grandma, me, emmanuel, grandpa :)








Kt, me, sis, mom, dad :D





Kt took an immense liking toward emmanuel too because he said he felt like emmanuel was like him when he was young. and i'm really not kidding, they look alike!!! i flipped some old photos and saw a portrait of kt when he was a boy. let's compare it with emmanuel now...


Kt's old portrait...


Emmanuel...

The resemblance is so freaky!!! :P maybe emmanuel would grow up to become as capable as kt :D :D :D

We shall take another similar photo of them in 5 years and see what happens :)

Emmanuel, who warmed up quickly to kt, even tried his black belt akido (i dunno how to spell) on my dearest!! but of course my kt so strong :D :D

We headed back to sentosa...we actually wanted to catch songs of the sea but the dinner dragged till about 10pm. so we just went to Giant to buy chips and drinks (drinks as in juice, not alcohol lol).

Pretty lights :) have always seen it all along but decided to capture it as part of sweet sweet memories :) :)


We took a little stroll along the beach under the stars.. :) and i realised he's grown taller yet again!! the fieldpack did nothing to stunt his growth. hmm..he was 179 lor.. so i can't imagine what's his height now...

Then we headed back to our hotel room. we watched nobbit on HBO (some super lame show) while munching on chips with me being warmly and snugly held in his arms :)
I made a video about us and we watched it after that. it made me cry again even though i have watched it and edited it countless times. even my strong kt teared as well.. Yeah well, we'll really miss each other like crazy luh :(
Then apparently, kt brought candles and he lit them up and arranged them in a heart-shape.

It was really pretty although half of the time i was afraid the curtains would touch the candles and burst into flames :P :P


We talked until about 4 and then fell asleep snuggled together :) and he smells really nice LOL :) :) we woke up the next morning to bright sunshine and continental breakfast :D


From our windowww

Outside our hotel room :)

Swimming pool :)

Honestly, i've never seen anyone who could eat banana like that!!!! -_-

Our outdoor breakfast place :)


Really gorgeous waterfall in the hotel leading to the pool :)

The entire feeling was really resort-y. hahah although no such word :P


Bridge to reception :)

The black glasshouse is the reception :)

We were supposed to play but i wasnt feeling so good and although i didnt say anything, kt sensed it and he let me sleep again. and i was such a PIG! i slept till check out time and we didnt get to do anything cuz he had to go home soon (had to book in that night). i felt angry at myself but i really did enjoy the stay anyway. because of the wonderful company.

And as i was drifting in and out of sleep, he made sure i didnt kick my blankets off, kissed my forehead every once in a while, held me close to him and looked at me while i was sleeping. :) (of course after that, looking at his soccer reigned supreme) HAHA.

We went back home after that and well, the saying goodbye part was hard. i didnt cry like yesterday anymore because we didnt want to see each other sad. and it's only 7 months before i'm back. it'll all be fine :) and i do trust in us :) :) and although i'm sounding strangely optimistic now, i'm honestly not that strong and i don't know if i can take the pressure there. hmm..

Tomorrow- spca in the morning, meeting tanhui and fangs in the afternoon, dinner with jo qiyuan cheryl siobhan huiyu and i dont know who else is going. haha. I WANNA STAY OVER WITH MY EUNICEWONG but...i just can't find anymore time. argh..

Tuesday- whole day dedicated to the people who booked me aka nalan jo qiyuan simna cheryl

Wednesday- have to finish packing EVERYTHING, meeting my mom in law for lunch (HAHAH) and dinner with nalantheyall/valtheyall...hmm...

So yeap, my life would soon be swiftly transformed from Singaporean culture to Australian Culture. I'm not really ready but i don't think i have a choice not to be ready. I have to remember that it wont be singapore so if anything happens, my loved ones can't just fly over to solve it for me. i'm pretty much on my own now. i can do household chores (just that most of the time i dont WANT to do it :P) and can live independently so it isn't an issue, actually. so cooking, sewing, washing, cleaning would be no problem but...it's just the loneliness issue.

Although i'll be having a wonderful monica angkodjojo going with me, i still feel a little unwillingness to leave because of my family, kt, my friends and the simple fact that i might not be used to the culture there. everyone tells me i'd fit in fine and i'd have loads of friends there but some part of me is just...insecure??

But i know this is something i have to do and all insecurities would be pushed to the back of my head. i shall be strong, hold my head high and welcome this challenge. just as my darling has loads of challenges in front of him, i have loads of challenges in front of me as well. distance would also be a challenge to our relationship but i'll do my best to make sure it strengthens our relationship instead and make us grow to become more independent matured lovers.

like in every battle, we dont have time to stop and think about whether we want to fight it or not. we just have to proudly brandish our swords (okay, sorry GUNS...i'm still living in the ancient times) and just press on. everything will be fine in the end. :) that's life. (ooh so philosophical) because rather than worrying about everything and becoming pessismistic about almost everything, why not just focus those bouts of energy on charging toward your goal...

and although i'd miss my tall nice smelling boyfriend, AWESOME hui, whiny fangs, irritating jo, lame nalan, seductive cheryl, puny qiyuan, chocolate man, drooled-on-my-bed-and-told-me-after-one-year eunice, bubbly sam, loud val, even louder simna, funny kaiyun, english-y sukmun, cute wuzhen, trying-so-hard-to-be-funny liying (my bf calls her "the girl with the red zinc bag")...and yadayada...

...life goes on... :)

PS: thank you darling for being so so sweet today and for reinforcing my trust in us even though i have infinite trust in us already :)

exhaustion...

Josephine told me my blog is really sad because im so optimistic about everything. and i was like "huh? so means i should be pessismistic?" LOL.

well then, i shall blog about how im feeling instead of just simply updates about the happenings in my life... I'm feeling a little sad that i'm going because of everything and everyone i'm going to leave behind. my family, friends, the spca animals, my boyfriend. ya it was a tough decision but i knew immediately this was what i had to do because i simply wanted it and wanted to go after my dream. although i can always stay in singapore and do vet technology in polytechnic but i really wanna do vet science instead. so yep that's what forced me to go over. it isn't a decision i regretted luh but it wasn't easy making this decision...to step out of my comfort zone to go after my dreams.

i'm sad because i know when i go there, i wont be able to spend time with my dearest friends. wont be able to chat and chill and shop with hui, wont be able to hear stupid stories about cashew and bearbear, wont be able to get embarrassed by the extremely loud laughter of simna, wont be able to seduce cheryl, wont be able to hear the "oh please" of val, wont be able to see kaiyun's and suk mun's du diao face, wont be able to tease jo about ______, wont be able to get amazed at the times qiyuan says something really really super mature, wont be able to laugh at nalan's lameness. wont be able to hear about chocolate man's personal life.

I'm sad because i know when i go there, i have to leave behind my comfy bed that i love to squirm in. i have to leave behind my mom whom i always worry about. i have to leave behind my dad who slogs like crazy. i have to leave behind my sis who is my bestest friend.

I'm sad because i can't see the puppies and kittens grow up. i'm sad because i'll miss darren's pokey wet nose and tigger's wag-gery tail. i'm sad because i'll miss cleaning up their poo and i'll miss the feeling of nausea when i smell puppy's poo. i'm sad because i wont get to see each and everyone of you and hug all of you at least once every week.

I'm sad because i know when i go there, i have to leave behind my confidant (my bf). he is amazing because he knows me so well and he knows when i'm not taking care of myself, when im upset and how to make me feel better all the time. i'm sad because i know we wont have a normal happy relationship. we wont be able to go out on dates together. there are certain times i admit i felt really depressed when he hugged me because i start thinking about how those hugs and kisses would last me for the next 7 months. i feel depressed when he starts nagging at me to lock the door, cover up at night blabla. some part of me wishes he can be right beside me to take care of me instead.

But i know one thing and that is that i'll be strong in whatever is ahead because my dad put in so much to send me overseas. and that i've so many people behind me to support me. it's not about whether i AM strong or not. there really isn't any choice left except to be strong. :) and i will be :) for myself, my family, my friends, my boyfriend and for my dream. :)

Exhilaration...
So these days are loads of happiness centred around slight tinges of unhappiness. oh what the frap (no such word) am i talking about??


Alrighty, social night. Dinner and dance. dinner consisted of a buffet spread with a few well-done videos and dance consisted of romantic music and a sole couple dancing out under the moonlight. So how do we get ready for social night of Delta wing (my bf's wing) and Tango Wing (Hui's fren's wing). we slack at each other's house and change and make up there. more accurately, my room:)



And so well we have hui falling in love with unmistakably irresistable MYLO :) :)

Us trying to take a sneaky picture of fangzhou dozing on my bed but she woke up in time.. :( and yes i do have alot of toys on my bed but more at the foot on my bed. all courtesy of mr choy kt :) :)

Hui talking to her bf's buddy who was her partner that night.




Me and hui in my room




Hui, me and fangs :)


fang's wearing my spongebob bedroom slippers and me and hui's coloured toes :)



hui me fangs. :) i love them loads :)


After social night :) me slacking on my sofa with darling in my comfy baggy T-shirt :)



Baby! :)





Today we met earlier at about 12 plus at Bukit Timah Plaza because my mom was buying insurance for my sis and i. we ate at bkt timah plaza and he arrived in his book-out uniform. :) he accompanied us to the bank. mom cabbed down to raffles city with my sis and me and bf hitched a ride :) yeap. we had yummy donuts at JCo Donuts :) :) after that we went to marina square where i bought 2 pairs of shoes!! One pair of heels and one pair of flats! (nono, not i BUY. i CHOSE, kt PAID) hahaha.

Movie was my treat. we watched Get Smart. It was quite funny and we enjoyed laughing ourselves silly throughout the show. been some time since we had a proper date but im not complaining. im RELISHING :D

After the movie, we headed to the Singapore Flyer for what some people call it.. a COUPLE'S EXPERIENCE. lol.






we walked around the "garden" and saw this....
Hahah! me and him!! me clinging on to him while he's trying to escape into the pond. HAHAHAH kidding.



While buying the tickets we got so bored we started taking pictures of our feet :)





And a scary thing is the picture below depicts the actual size diff!!! :O




We headed to popeye's to eat and i got bored while waiting for kt so i started taking weird random pics of the burberry bag my dad bought for me while he was in japan.. -_-




I wont call this dinner... we shared a set meal :) :)



After "dinner", we boarded the flyerrr :) :)

















There's a saying that if you kiss your other half on the top of the ferris wheel, you guys can last forever. although whether a relationship lasts forever depends on our hard work, but i still felt it was a very romantic saying. :) :)





We headed back to marina square after singapore flyer and had a 2nd dinner at pizza hut. we weren't really hungry so we ordered a personal pan pizza, 6 drumlets, a strawberry fizz and a warm choc cake with icecream :)
Company was AWESOME :)




Yeap :) he sent me home on 77 after that :) LOVE HIM LOADS. and we're going out again tmr! can't wait (hmm..what happened to not exclusively bf?? haha oh well, my friends all knew that bf was booking out so they so kindheartedly planned everything on monday and tues.. HAHA I LOVE YOU GUYS)
