2 more weeks to closing...

It's sat, and here i am back at work. Kept telling myself, it's only 2 weeks more to July... which also means I have 2 more weeks to complete my 2 assignment I have on hand. Can't imagine ... Well, just have to do it. I am so looking forward to July.

Winning story

It’s again the time of the year to hear wedding bells coming up soon in the next few months...

Got a msg from a fre today announcing his wedding date. I asked him what was his winning story... his replied...

“...just that i think she is someone who can more or less accommodate my many flaws without getting too upset too often. it's a formula i tot should work well for me.”

Pretty well said. I think it is very true.

No one is perfect, there will never be a perfect someone, more importantly it is how you love the person you found. Actually wat he said may sound very simple but there is depth to it. It’s not easy actually to have someone to be able to accommodate each other and in a way compliment each other.

breakups

Found a lost friend 2 weeks back thru facebook... (amazing how friends sudden pop back up from non where....), anywaz i lost contact with RT when he got married and went back to msia for a while.  A long while I remb.... The shocking news came when he told he that he is now separated.  I was totally speechless.... not that it really surprises me anymore nowadays, but it is always those very stable couples (at least in people's eyes) that split.  

Last week I heard 3 breakups. the other 2 were also quite surprised.  One resulting to annulment and the other thankfully not married, so less complication....

so sad....

My lucky day

11 may 2008.  my lucky day!! hehehehehehe....

..... Plus, my happy 9th mth with ed.

Work day

The past 1 week was a bliss. As in able to leave work on time, spend some having dinner with ed at the right timing.
Note: my dinner (if any at all at times) timing has been so erratic. Most nites i worked passed 9pm, so it’s supper more likely than dinner.

I tell ed that I am enjoying my pass one week and soon it will end when my new assignment start.

One year @ Artery

Wow it has been a year since I first met ed at Artery with lao shi. How time flies... hahah... that was the blog I remb writing after that outing, and that the “friend” lao shi brought along was ed.
http://happybunnylaughter.blogspot.com/2007/05/my-teacher.html

Who knows that outing turns out to be more drinks session and some dinners over the next few weeks and months.... and it kind of still amazes me as to how it suddenly turned out that we could end up together! Haha. Not that he is not my type, but it was more of I never thought he had a thing for me, and he seems to like his singlehood so much that I never could have guessed that he will ever be attached. Well, maybe this is fate?

But overall I have to say that ed is such a dear....

Dream

I dreamt of papa... he came to say good bye to me.  so real! 

The greatest man in my life

It had been a year since papa left to a more peaceful place.  4th april 2007.  I really hate that day till now and often i  felt that life is so unfair, having to take away something so precious in my life.  He taught and shown me what is real love...and that real love does exist, it is in the family.  he had also shown us that love is giving without asking anything in return.  The unconditional love that he showered to everyone and esp his wife and kids.  

one year, and yet it seems like it was just yesterday.  the pain of losing someone so dear is still so fresh.  that day sis was packing and she came across a slip of email that i had written to pa abt my thesis when i was in UK and how he had helped me redraft certain parts of it, she kept it and gave it to me and said, "tot u might want to have this."  I took one look at it and that instance, every bit of my feelings for pa just came rushing back, tears filled my eyes instantly and i cried and i knew i couldn't read on.  i kept that piece of email without finishing it.  i knew i wasn't ready to face it.  I wasn't ready too today when i went to his tomb.  i told pa, my greatest regret is not telling him, how great a father he had been to us, how much i love him.   it wasn't his last few weeks that i said i love him.  but it wasn't enough.  

Papa thank you for your guidance and love.  you're the greatest dad and i am so glad to be ur daughter.  

Drunk

Ed came home drunk today after entertaining some taiwanese guest.  Lao shi called and told me to take care of him, but i couldn't cos i was still working in the office, and tat time was already 1130pm.  i was so pissed, cos i am already swamped and this is not something that i want to deal with at the moment.  I was also feeling sad that i couldn't take care of him and felt so helpless.  

lucky that silly boy still managed to make it home and puke downstairs before making his way up.  (and i found out much later that he probably slept downstair for a while before making his way up).  thank god he was fine, otherwise i would have felt so guilty for not been there.  

sigh wat a day it was.  by the time i got home, it was already 1 am +.  slept for few hrs and went for my early morning presentation at client's place.  i dont know how i managed to survived thru.  so glad it was finally over.  sigh... and more to come maybe.  

ed is really the sweetest....  supporting me, ok... only the drunk part which i had "let off my stream" liao. haha....

swampeddddd........

I'm so swamped with work.  Left the office at 10pm.  For now I cant imagine how bad next week would be.  It's a critical 1.5week for me next.  my head might just rolled next week and i might just die a horrible death. sob.  I just have to keep my fingers crossed and hope for the best :P

Lost - day 1

sense of emptiness.  sense of missing something terribly.....   something just not rite.  Oh dear... i hope thursday come by quickly!  

Stressed out......

I'm into the 3rd week of my new job... and yes I'm feeling the stress.  It must be really quite bad as I have quarreled with ed few times the past weeks... maybe i was a little short fuse or maybe things just happened all at once.  As some point I did asked myself why did I left a comfortable and stress free job for this... haha... I guessed the answer to this is... I've come to a cross road of my career path and now is the time to decide to do something more.

It had been years since I felt so stress abt something.  I just have to tell myself to continue on.  After all it's only the beginning.  Yes I am sure I can do it.  :)

Life of a bummer

ok, why am i blogging at this hour?  well... i'm just enjoying my last few days of freedom.... of no work.  Come to think of it, i havent had this type of life (not working) for the past 7.5yrs! wow... i feel like a bummer everyday.  Last week on my 2nd day of not working, i felt so lost... I concluded that i have to work, cant imagine if i stay home everyday not working, think i will go senile very soon.

so what i did? I watch coffee prince (highly recommend by eve) till wee hours... sleep for like 10-12hrs, nap in the evening again.... then dinner.... goodness, so boring! help..... i need to go out the next few days.... but with who? everyone is working. haha.

Lucky ed and I planned the 6Days Bangkok and Hong Kong trip last week  :P

(pics will be up soon!)

Dinner @ Mozaic...

Fav view of Alila Bali (ubud)

Golf at Handara

Bali... Finally I made it to bali

Day 1: 6th Feb

Singapore to Bali Ubud

Off we go... early in the morning at 430 to the airport... It was my first time to bali, so you can sense how very excited I was. after all the transit and the 1hr30mins drive from bali airport, we finally reached Ubud Alila. I was very impressed with how nice everyone was. It was good to feel so welcome.

Alila Ubud is a tranquil and secluded hillside retreat that sits high up on the edge of the rich green Ayung River valley in Bali’s central foothills. Blending contemporary design and traditional Balinese architecture, the secluded courtyards, spacious terraces and private gardens create an intimate feeling.

We had the deluxe rooms on the ground floor. With individual garden terraces and a back courtyard with an open-air bathroom and shower. The open air bathroom is my fav part.... it's like can see cannot see kinda feel.

And yes... all rooms are equipped with Apple ipod. Just plug it in and play.

The highlight of the trip is dinning at Mozaic.

It offers both out-door and in-door seating, excellent service and attractive presentation of Chris' creative cuisine. The menu changes daily. You can either order a 3-course Gourmet Dinner and choose your favorites from the menu. We took the Chef's Tasting Menus. Each consists of 7courses and there are three choices: either the "Classic" Menu Degustation, a "Vegetarian" or "Experimental" version offering delicious surprises with every single course. i had the Classic while ed took the experimental with wine paring for each course....

This is probably the best you can find in Indonesia. (MOZAIC is one of only two restaurants in South East Asia to be recognized by "Grandes Tables du Monde" – the second is LE NORMANDIE on top of the old wing of Bangkok's legendary Mandarin Oriental Hotel – and has also received the "Award of Excellence" by Wine Spectator for its wine cellar.) Truly unforgettable!!

Day 2
Went BALI HANDARA KOSAIDO COUNTRY CLUB for golf. Set off 730 in the morning and after 100mins of drive and 150 horning later... we reached. yes since the road is all one way there, the driver horn each time he overtakes a motorist or any vehicle.... so I figured it might be more than that... haha

Day 3
Spa and off to Alila Mangiss
Finally we are sort of back to civilization. The room has tv!! hahah...

Day 4:
Fishing... my fist catch ever!!... and spend the rest of the day lazing in the bed and room....

Day 5 : home......

My idol !

Jay chou!!!!!!!!! I'll be back for his next concert for sure!

Weekend in Macau

It's another "lost in reality" feeling holiday. Away from our everyday stressful lifestyle... it's a lifestyle of nothing but drinking, gambling, food and sex. Not that I induced intensively in any of those, but we all know these come hand in hand... Or rather more of a men paradise.

Many big niteclubs but din have a chance to enter any. Still waiting for ed to bring me one day :P Thanks to his fre who works in Venetian, we were very well entertained the whole nite :)

The joy of drinking...

***

After a whole bot of Champagne and many more drinks later.... it sends you to dreamland.... sweet dreamzzzzz......

I've got curls...

I finally took the courage to go perm my hair with Cindy. It is only a very light perm but believe me, it’s a big thing to me. Not after what I been thru for my 1st perm when I was 14. I swear never to go that path again.. haha.. anywaz.. at least this is not as scary as I thought it would be….

Still I hate the agony of having to wake up earlier every morning just to style it… well gals… sigh wat can I say…

2nd concert in a mth

my very first jacky cheung concert...
