Off to Japan with my Pink Luggage! :D:D:D:D:D:D

WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

one thing constant in life, things ALWAYS never go as planned, so MUST always have other backup alternative plans and be ready to embrace perhaps the road less travelled, choose the road not taken before and leave a trail!!!

Whatever it is, it shall not stop me from smiling! :D

I lOve studYIng :D

i jUz submitted mi audit for this mOnth... :D:D:D yeah .. I love the feeling when projects are completed... on time! YdaY mi did case presentation again~ it wasn't exactlY great but i enjOyed it. LOL... i miss school so much...

had been thinking about a lot of my friends and ex who havta rent a room/house elsewhere~ cOz either nO $$$ or nOt eligible for hOme LOan~ or who can't be bothered to bUy a place cOz they will go overseas in future~ been thinking about the ah peks who have to sleep outside downstairs on cardboard boxes (that dOn't juz exist in Japan) ... also those married couples who havta apply 10 times still can't get the apartment they want? we are xInfuz to have shelter, be it our own, or our family hOme~ it can be simple but it is safe and cOmfy...

I am super excited to be going back to Japan coz I absolutely lOve their toilets :p wahahaha... multi functional spa toilets in normal shopping centres , everywhere! wif buttons u can press for music, bidet, even dolphin sounds, perfume and so forth. So shiok :D wahahhaa.. and very very clean also. If can, I will buy 1 back. :p I also remembered my recent trip to Xi An.... the toilets there scared mi... basically they have this cubicle, maybe the size of our staff room toilet, floor is those muddy Kind... dig like maybe 6 holes in the ground.. n pple juz go in and do their business in full view of everyOne! and the cleaniness... omg. You have no idea how OCD i am.... sorry... I don't mean to sound ungrateful but I got very edgy and irritable no matter how hard I try to embrace it. sorry sorry.... :( but it made mi very appreciative of wad we have :D even though ours may be simple, but it's mostly clean :D

PLS.. STOP .. IT... :D:D:D most of all I muz love everydaY .. no matter where I am :D Choose wad I like an LIke wad I choose. Loving it :)

- lOve :D

We work out cOz we are different, as lOng as we coMplement each other. We learn frOm each other, cOz we have something to offer, and progress towards a beautifuL future.. it is not free from tears, the fights can be violent, struggles and collision of ideas and plans.. but there is juz something endearing about him.. makes mi feel cOmfy... that is why, no matter wad happens, he is my best friend in this wOrld .. praY dat i will cherish it mOre :D and become less difficult to live with, less selfish and sweeeter... but I am unable to be nice to hiM. LOL... cos I dun feel like it.. but it is a blessing in disguise... I wun smother him :D win win solution!

ermz...these are jUz how random I can get... some things dat goes through my head... Ciaos :D

Fathers day dinner~

Ynight went to dinner wif YK, daddY+mOmmi in law. :D Asked my own dad along for his first fathers day dinner but he , who initially agreed, ended up saying he can't make it~ Sad but wadever. I am used to disappointments in life. The let down was made up by super yUmmi fire steak and apple pie :D Here are the Yummy pics!!!

baked apple pie w/ ice cream :D

A lifelong dream~

Since I was a child, I wished and dreamt and waited for the day I can have a meal wif a table of people I love. It could be mi and mi parents (believe it or not I have never eaten together with them at the same table before). As I got older, I thought about him but we have vast difference in the kind of food we like because I am not willing to be the fast food junkie he is. Maybe one day, if I ever decide to have children, hopefully they will like wad I like? Should they even be given a choice? why am I even thinking about things like that? Maybe trying to focus more on other aspects of life, to build the strength in order to fight back?

Reasons to smile :D

This rainfall just comforts me and tells mi, dear dawnie, everything is going to be alright~ let the past go, you are doing good now and you will do it well :D

Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution :)

Although he doesn't wash his veggies... I like him! :D

Everything half priced :D

We got some great deals on Friday....



The Shenton way branch of Secret Recipe offers cakes at half price every Friday after 5pm :D Coz they don't open on weekends and are clearing stock, therefore we bought and ate the food of champions! CAKE!!! :D :D :D



Coincidentally, we also went to TCC where they had a one for one main course or pasta deal which was quite gooD! Very comfy ambiance, wonderful service. Food initially looked like those jia buay bah kind but surprisingly filled us up !!! Hahaha... :D Good deal :) We got Mentaiko spaggy and baked Chix for the price of one! :D


YK bought this for mi from the stationary shop at Funan, my favourite shop dat sells all sorts of Rilakkuma stuffs... which is gg through a renovation sale!!! Therefore this kawaii chickie earphones only cost $10! :D Happy! Hahaha.

Feeling retro and happY :D

Went to Gramps house today wif YK coz it's mi off day and yeah we did a lot of stuffs dat filled mi life wif memories :):):)



1) Chicken Pies from Balmoral Bakery , Sunset Way. Grew up eating it! Yums!!! Coz we live nearby at Moonbeam Terrence and Pine Grove therefore mi popo always bought these delightful yUmmys! :D :D :D I miss popo very much.



2) Johnson Lock Duck!!! :D Popo often bought it when she was alive, I miss the duck porridge she made wif this famous duck from Bukit Timah especially :D

3) Went to fix my bike!!! $8 per inner tyre x2 + $20 for basket. CHEAP. The last time I rode it was more than 4 years ago before I moved to YeeKin's house and when I was still living at Pine Grove... the inner tyres had disintegrated and I had them changed at the nearby Choo Huat bike shop :D Also added on a fabulous basket on it!!! Love it so much. Gotta cycle it back from Ulu Pandan to Tanjong Pagar soon! Grandpa is bias.. doesn't want me to ride it even wanted my dad to take it back to the Kelong with him... until I said YK rides it! Then grandpa said OKAY... :( SEXIST mindset. *Rolls eyes*

4) Pine Grove gg be sold soon! Gonna get my dividend soon. Cannot wait for the $$$ want to pay off my current home :D Hope grandpa buys a house near my home and live nearby so we can meet up more often!

5) They gave mi popo's sunglasses... LOL... cos they know I like sunglasses :D :D :D I love it v much and they say I look v nice!!! LOL... It's surprising doesn't look laopokpok... still trendY! maybe cos Ex! :p

6) We went to the hypermart and bought head lights to wear when we go climb mount fuji end of this moNth... We gg to climb Mount fuji over night and watch the sunrise on top! I honestly don't feel like gg to any mountain cos it will remind mi of my China trip but I hope Japan will bedazzle and amaze mi once again and heal mi wounds once and for all :D :D :D

With all mi heart I pray for all to go well :)

Enjoying :)

Turning point

Yday was YeeKin's 30th bday... it was a warm hearted affair at his parent's place and his dad cooked up his famous world best dishes :D accompanied by his dad N mom and his cousins who visited from ipoh ... complete wif yummi cake... it was not the kind of bday I wanted to give him but I guess it was the kind of bday he liked, being with loved ones rather than being just with me. I'm glad dat he liked it. My bday is coming.. although I have always dreamt and wished for something special.. I have never gotten it. This year.. we are gg to Japan for it. I hope I will be happy. I don't mean to sound ungrateful after all the money we have spent for it even before going but I just had a very horrible year and hope it turns for the better. they always say, don't wish don't hope then you don't get disappointed... but I always look ahead , I need to plan, I need things to go on schedule... and if it doesn't , I need a back up plan, an alternative ... I am that kind of person... juz keep mi fingers and toes crossed and watch wat lies ahead...

Cooking :)

I made curry chix with the recipe that auntie bee gave mi :D:D:D she has been giving mi tips on cooking and I really appreciate it! Hope YK likes it cos he seldom eat anything other than Mcd... somemore he doesn't eat spicy food. If not I havta finish it all by myself over a few days ... *BLINK!* It's tough cooking for 2 people, wads more when the 2 pple dun like to eat the same things... wish I had a big familY to cook for~ *Dreams*

I am just wondering... when I went on vacation with my best friend, we came back enemies. If I go on vacation with my hubby... will we come back divorced? SIGH...
