happy birthday to me

quarter century old now. and the standing question of — what have I achieved in life? ( doesnt it just stresses you out? haha)
it’s quite nice to feel special once a year. thank u mommy for having me <3

with my family , a yummy cupcake.

(my dad actually remembered my bday.)

with best friends (although mel wasn’t there, hahaha) with Yoges, at Antoinette. yum food! the all day breakfast and cakes and crepes were realllly gd.

with boyfriend at forlino’s. the mains was surprisingly nice, because we didn’t know how to appreciate the blue fin Tuna appetizer. He had lobster pasta and I had almond crusted lamb.

happy Chinese new year!

although it doesn’t feel much like a new year this year, just a continuation from the last. perhaps just feeling slightly jaded?

had dinner on eve at Grand corp hotel. very good spread, was quite impressed with the variety of food they had!

my uncle got back from Antarctica (yes Antarctica) with gorgeous pictures of cute penguins up close

and eyeing a new pair of shoes from
Ted baker . soooo pretty.

I also went to Page one, bought 4 books,its really been a long time since I
actually read anything. I forgot how obsessed I can get, I CANNOT put it down once I stop, I need to finish reading the book. that’s why I feel like its a waste for me to buy books because I read very fast (1-2 days) and I only read my books once. an alternative would be getting kindle/iPad or something where I can buy books cheaper. but eyes hurt if u stare at a screen way too long. old sch paper backs are still the best.

& also obsessed with the new KOI drink, yakult green tea. it’s more ex then the usual macchiato I always drink, why rotten/fermented stuff like yakult cost so much?!

first fart

 

I can’t wait until you see my cry face. It’s super ugly. Crying for the first time in a new relationship is a milestone because it means you care enough about them to let things get bad for a second. I see crying as a positive thing. I don’t trust relationships that are good 24/7 because it usually means they lack a certain level of depth or passion. I don’t love you until you make me cry, until you see me vomit, until I fart in your face and refuse to feel weird about it. To me, love doesn’t come with the first “I love you.” It comes with the first fart so can we just fast forward a few months and just be there already? Thanks.

lil update

had dinner on a Friday night, appreciate that he asked if I wanted to because I mentioned some time ago that I miss having to dine on Friday nights with my boyfriend. I forgot that I even said that but he remembered & made an extra effort to rush n leave work right on time so we can have a dinner on a Friday night after so long.

dinner dessert with my Indian sister one of the days last week. I must admit this is really good. Shaved ice mango something at Chinatown.

Finally wrap up the painting that i bought in Paris in 2007, when mel & I spent our supposedly a *damn good expensive dinner* money on a bloody painting each which we still talk about it ALL the time. i forgot how much but it was ard 150 euros? the rate was 2.5 or 2.8 then. I think it was one of the craziest thing we did, we always joke about how dumb we were but I think we never regretted it because it reminded us of our first time in Paris, n the memories we had there. young & stupid & enjoyed it. :> we would have thought 100 times over if we were there now at this age.

Crazy person in office , standing on chair to stretch n dance as soon as boss left. hahaha

2o12.

2011 left behind and no longer looking back. 2012 seems slightly different. It feels slightly different, and i hope it will be different. I’m looking forward to some things in 2012 & decided to do away with some things.

http://www.marcandangel.com/2011/12/11/30-things-to-stop-doing-to-yourself/

#1 really spoke out to me. well and also im sure to mel. alot of us do this to ourselves, im not even sure why. spending time with people who we don’t really want to, who stresses us out, who makes us unhappy and annoyed. and who we don’t get a good feeling out all the time. who aren’t there when we need. i shall stop doing this to myself.
#15 / 16 is something all of us goes through, especially to the evils of facebook. feeling like i’m not gd enough, why not better when others are doing well and me not as well. appreciating what i have, accepting what i am would be something good for me.
#20  not a care about what others think, everyone has their own opinions and beliefs. I realized this long ago, we can agree to disagree, but to not care about trival things,and not let unimportant things upset me, thats something i would like.

In health , I’m looking forward to my legs healing up, looking foward to a good holiday trip once it looks like i can walk and squat properly. In life , looking forward to the goodness of God and depending only on his unmerited favour. in love, looking forward to the first step with alvin. in family, not stressing out being good enough a family member, just being as it goes. in friends, spending time with the ones who truly mean to me, & excited for my best friends to all find good bfs this year. more short term, looking forward to my birthday. cheerssss!:)

latte

Lunch with mom at canele, the latte were surprisingly good! We were at paragon to pick up comestics from the chanel counter at metro to reserve for the coming sale. Initially thought that metro would be giving her 20% off for her birthday month but it ended up being only for silly things that we don’t buy.

alvin is in hk this weekend with his friends, one of them is getting married soon so it’s kind of like their last trip together before he gets the little yelling red face kids.(teeheehee) it will be funny if it turned out to be hangover II BKK.

ive given the permission to run wild. but point being I cannot run. Maybe I’ll just take a cab to the some shopping mall, get wild there, and tell him that he got me something(s) when he comes back. ( like I will )

Is the sun out yet?

 

These days it feels like the sun only shines for a few minutes before it gets sucked in by the clouds again. It isn’t bright nor dark. Its just a foggy mist over my head. The days pass quickly much too slow for me, i’m impatient for my legs to get well.

little things & people

I thank God for little things and people in my life.

my mom for putting koyok on my knees every night because they hurt.
my sister for asking how come my knees hurt, going to buy a drink downstairs for me and saying “yah old lady!”
my boyfriend for offering to carry me. (LOL! i refused beacuse we are all going to fall down cuz im too heavy)
my colleague for buying subway every morning for breakfast and even ikea meatballs for lunch.
my bestfriend for always listening to my crap and nowadays too busy to even online shop (lest B&M shop).
my twitter followers who entertain me when im bored.

my knees hurt because i don’t know why either. i’ve seen the doc, and he says that if they still hurt after medication (1 week later) , i will need to take a blood test. that really freak me out. blood test??? So please pray for me that they heal up now and i dont have to hobble to work everyday, and i can run and swim and kick people when im angsty, queue for koi, stand in the MRT and most importantly WALK PROPERLY.

here is a picture of my poor knees.

 

YAH the stupid jagged like grass one is done by hannah tang, cuz she thinks its funny -_-;;;;;;

 

kittykittykat

alvin found a tiny kitten (again), this one is really small n probably a few days old . it hasn’t opened it’s eyes and can’t walk yet.

Alvin’s mom feeding it milk from a bottle, even so the suckle part is still tooo big for it! and it’s the smallest he could find. look at it trying to climb my feet. like a little rat. it’s even smaller then my hand!
