It’s 9 more days before Tim’s coming back.
Yay-ness. Things haven’t been that bad, since he’s able to access the internet although I hardly catch him online for the first few times. I would either be out or having lessons.

Birthday parties – weidong and Vanessa; Nicholas’. Both were great, with much alcohol involved.. I love the serviced apartment where vern held hers.

There was the ODAC bazaar for two weeks which ended last friday, 13th Nov.
We kinda trapped ourselves, stupidly, by putting the gazebo right in the middle of the courtyard and when it rains, we don’t have any shelter to anywhere. lol. and it rained quite abit while we had the booth.
There were game machines as well, and i think half the profits were contributed by ODAC.

Extreme Trail X’s signup rate is darn good, I feel.
I went for recces for the last two weeks, and each week I get burnt even though I applied sunblock! What is this. hmmpf. I’ve got ugly tanlines now, and I really mean ugly because they are at .. ugly places? okay it doesn’t make sense at all. Both Sundays were exceptionally long!

And recently, I’m receiving tons of bad news. Seems like each piece of news that comes by my ears aren’t good at all, and I’m extremely disheartened to hear all these, and I’m afraid and very sadden in fact.

My mind’s constantly preoccupied with stuffs, even though sometimes they are not but I would love to switch it off. I can hardly focus on anything. Give me a corner by myself and i’ll gladly be there. Other than with familiar faces, I don’t wish to talk more than I should. I’m more jumpy, easily irritated.
I’ve got more pent up emotions, more than you’d think.

Deep within, it’s crying and lost.

I think of you each and everyday. Everyone and everything around me reminds me of you.
Tears just well up in my eyes each time..

Saturday, 17th Oct
The last Saturday before Tim flies off, we went sentosa. Supposed to go to the beach, but decided not to. Maybe when he’s back. Anyway, we definitely will go there in Dec, cos we got the tickets to Zoukout (!!)

I was excited to visit Sentosa once again. It’s been a long while. We had lunch at Redhill market before heading down to vivocity, supposedly to take the skytrain. We diverted our attention abit, and did alittle shopping but it’s all good because he managed to get a top for $35 which would otherwise cost him $80 from Topman. Luckily he didn’t buy it when it wasn’t on sales! haha.

I wanted to visit Underwater World because .. it’s like so long since I went there. Maybe when I was in primary school or something.. The ticket allowed us to enter Dolphin Lagoon as well, but the dolphin show’s a very short one and I couldn’t really see cos everyone was blocking and the sun rays reflected on the water surface blinded me.

We walked over to Songs of the Sea for our 8.40pm show, and along the way saw those bars by the beach. We were tempted to dine at Coastes, but didn’t because there’s alot of people and we don’t have much time before our show starts. Nevermind we’ll go back there the next time. and I saw this Golden Retriever, who was really obedient and damn cute la!
It was back to Redhill Market (again!) for our dinner after the show; followed by two rounds of bowling at Safra Mount Faber. heh.

Thursday, 22nd oct
I woke up early, just to send him off before going to school.
He was, late!
He didn’t have much time in the morning anyway, after getting his boarding pass and all. He had to go in soon, since he had to run errands (helping his friend who’s alr in Aussie get ciggs and buying some magazines over because its darn boring in Wallaby)
And so, off he flies and will only be back on 25th Nov in the morning.
My only grouse, the reception over there is crap!

Oh wells.

It’s been awhile since i’ve updated.

I wouldn’t say I’m extremely busy since last week but at least each day is packed with something, for which I’m happy with.

I’ve heard of people having fever, swelling on their cheeks etc after their wisdom tooth operation but very amazingly Tim has none of the above mentioned. In fact he was able to eat fries on the second day! It was good, and so we managed to spend quite a bit of time together since he’s on MC and took leave on the remaining days of the week. Some plans were foiled because of the upcoming Wallaby trip but I suppose they fall into place quite nicely in the end.

We went over to Orchard Central the other day since both of us haven’t been there yet. The whole layout of the mall is super confusing. We found our way to the Crystal Jade Hong Kong Cafe and tried the Milk Tea which comes in a very unique jar with dry ice, the Lemongrass Spring Chicken and the Strawberry Snow Ice. Sorry no pictures since we didn’t have our cameras. The food’s not too bad and it isn’t too pricey. On our second visit, we tried the hotplate, avocado milkshake and fried tofu. -yums!-

We went bowling as well, together with his friends. I’ve not bowled in awhile!

For this week we try not to go town because it’s simply boring since we’re always there. We had lunch at Jack’s Place today at Great World City. Took the set lunch and the portion was rather huge. My dessert of the day – Tiramisu cake tasted like it had detergent in it! It was, BAD. Reflected it to the store manager although we don’t really want to have any replacement of the cakes.

We spent the rest of the afternoon playing “Left 4 Dead”. I suggested playing it since we’ve got nothing to do and we were lazy to budge. It was quite fun, although my reactions were really retarded initially and guess what? I panicked and screamed when the zombies came, before I realised that all I have to do is to click the mouse to shoot them. haha, yes laugh if you want at my reaction.

We couldn’t decide on a place for dinner. It was Redhill Market at first, then Vivocity and we ended up at Chinatown – Maxwell Market. We walked from Outram Park down and bought a cup of Koi along the way. After dinner we strolled over to Liang Court cos I wanted to go Medi-ya to look at stuffs.

The day went by comfortably and it didn’t cost us much other than our lunch.
Trying to save money, and hoping to go for a graduation trip next year. heh.

I’m going Night Safari tomorrow with James+gang. I hope it’s gonna be fun, since I haven’t been there for quite awhile. Eggcited.

One month passed just like that. It seemed like it was just yesterday when things happened. oh wells.

I really thank a good friend who’s will always listen and be there to dish out advice, which is most of the time true.

I sorted out my own thoughts, and then clarified some things but there are lots of other stuff that I wanted to convey but didn’t have the chance to. On my part I feel much better and more at ease, at least.

oh man.

Am i being the worrywort here, thinking too much.

But I believe that a woman’s 6th sense is quite accurate most of the time, and if that’s the case.. then something’s definitely not right.
There is something that have been bugging me for the longest time ever, and I always wonder if that’s the biggest mistake I’ve ever made.

But i hope that at the end of the day, it’s just me being too sensitive.
please do let it be.

There are a thousand and one things going through my head.

Maybe three quarters of it are like permanent residents, lately.

I think i’ll need more me time to deal with issues.
Or am I even dealing with them?

I soak myself in the midst of familiar faces and company.
you know that the surface doesn’t show everything ya?

Sometimes I don’t see the need to explain certain actions,
that’s because people do not understand.
And it doesn’t help.

There’s a different set of responsibilities now.
Pardon the absence if felt, while im going through this transition.

As a matter of fact, I do not know how long i’ll take.

food week

It was a foodie week.

I left dining footprints in the central and southern part of Singapore.

I dined at Sun with Moon at Wheelock with the boy, Vanessa and Nicholas. The salmon sashimi was one of the freshest I ever ate! they have the tofu cheesecake which is equally nice. -yums-

I satisfied my cravings for Stingray with Edmund, Vanessa, Peixuan, Jacq and Issac at Redhill Market. We ordered a whole table full of food. Three stingrays, two plates of carrot cake, oyster omelette, chicken wings, satay and the not-to-be-missed Red Ruby dessert.

I went to Soup Spoon with the boy cos he hasn’t been there before. We went to the Ion Branch, and I had the Chicken Tokyo Stew. It was yum yum.

All thanks to Annabel that we get to attend a high-flyer event – Asia On The Edge at the Arts House on Friday, which would otherwise cost us $350 per pax.

We got to savour food from some of the top chefs in Asia as well as, free-flow champagne/wine.
The alcoholics amongst our group didn’t let the opportunity go to waste indeed. the mumm lovers.

Guess it was my insensitivity that I overlooked quite a few factors which led to some kind of unhappiness.
I got quite a rude shock and didn’t know what else I could do or say to make you feel better,
and I don’t deny that I was a little angry at your actions.
But i’m glad things are fine now.

What say you this kind of feeling.

Feeling a little not right at the moment. Don’t know what words to use to describe this feeling but oh wells. At times I just don’t feel like doing anything.

Urgh.

It was a pretty good day out yesterday.

I was craving for stingray since friday night when we saw people eating it at Zion Food centre but Tim didn’t want to eat it because it was late already, and we shall have it the next day at Redhill Market.. I suggested having it for lunch so that we don’t have to come back for dinner. Sadly, they are open for dinner only so we ate something else.. at least I got to eat the Red Ruby. It was good, but I couldn’t finish it all by myself. (it’s a huge bowl okay!) Most times I wouldn’t have to worry if I cannot finish the dessert by myself cos i know someone will finish it for me. hahaha.

We took a train down to the usual place after that, somewhere i’d never fail to go each time i’m in town..

I got two items from uniqlo cos they were on sale.. 2 for $9.90.
okay i sound like an auntie. Oh wells.

We’re going to catch The Ugly Truth at The Cathay at 5.30pm and I keep having the impression that it’s at Cineleisure.. lol. The initial plan was to walk over but halfway through I decided not to cos I was too lazy and so, we took a bus down to PS.

The show was nice. very funny! It’s not the usual kind of chick flick comedy, if you get what i’m trying to put across.

Some of the odac-ians were at Timbre Old school with their WWR group. We went up to Timbre to have our dinner cos I wanted to eat the Roasted Duck Pizza. (I’ve got lotsa food cravings ya?) It’s my first time climbing that flight of stairs and when I reached the top, I was panting! OMG. We got a table rather fast since there’s only two of us and we were lucky to reach just in time before the crowd came to form a queue.
needless to say, we were ka jiao-ed by some of the 13th who came over to our table.

We ordered a pizza and buffalo wings to share, and he ordered a cocktail, while I had a mocktail.
Dinner was good, and the liveband said that we could have song dedications but they didn’t do my song!

Halfway through it drizzled, but thankfully it didn’t pour as the sky was quite orange.

We went over to join the odac-ians after we’re done with dinner and did a little camwhoring.

I’ve already wanted to go Laurent Bernard for their desserts, especially their souffle which i heard was very good. In all coincidences Tim could get the car so some of us went over to Robertson Quay after that but by the time we reached, they’re closing!

soo.. we bought a few cakes to go, and sat at some benches nearby.

I’ve got to declare I haven’t got a sweet tooth at all. The cakes were good but are far too sweet for my liking. I almost finished all their water.

He dropped the bun and poo at Clementi and it was home sweet home after that..

In the blink of an eye, the weekend’s coming to an end soon, although it’s a long weekend since monday’s a PH..

Just a short update for the week that passed, and while typing this I realised that this week i’ve been meeting him almost everyday which isn’t the case normally.

Tuesday, 15th September.

It was a stay home day where I got down to packing the room, as well as clear the mess on my table. It’s now less cluttered and I hope it’d remain this way for a long period which I highly doubt. Especially when school’s going to start next tuesday.

Because of some changes in plans, tim decided to jog from his place to mine and we met for dinner after that. lol. I seem so lazy, and i better get started on my training before stand chart comes!

Wednesday, 16th September.

Happy 21st, David !

I was supposed to post the letter to UOL but I didn’t have time to do so. I realised much later that the post office closes at 8pm on Wednesdays, instead of 5pm..

Anyhow, I was supposed to meet Tim at 6plus to go down to The Arts House to look at the Dead Sea Scrolls but he was held back by work and we met at 7.15pm. I don’t know what came over me but initially when he told me that he probably can only meet me at 7.45pm I got kinda disappointed. It will be very late by the time we reach and there’s still dinner to settle as well. We went ahead in the end, and thanks to a friend, we managed to get in for free.

Its just amazing to be able to see bibles dating 500 years back or more and that’s the main reason why I wanna go for the exhibition..

Thursday, 17th September.

I had breakfast with Tim at Ikea cos he went AH for an x ray and he got the schedule for his wisdom tooth extraction before he went back to camp.

Vanessa and I talked about high tea buffets to dim sum and all sorts of food and decided to go for buffet lunch on Thursday, there’s only three of us and we couldn’t find one more person to go Cafebiz cos there’s one for one promotion.. and so we had Sizzler’s salad bar buffet instead.

It was funny cos peixuan didn’t know how to swirl the ice cream onto the cup/cone, and she’s also the one who ate the most ice cream! lol. We chilled all the way till about 4pm, and went over to MNG and there’s a moving out sale of 10% storewide.

Friday, 18th September.

The weather was gloomy, it rained almost the whole day until late afternoon..

Accompanied the boy to Sim Lim to get speakers for his computer since he’s in need of one. We had dinner at Hip Diners and their service isn’t that fantastic.. which I won’t go into details.

He went home to put down the speakers and I stood at the door while waiting for him and his dog came running out.. so cute la.. haha.

and then .. we had some desserts at Zion Food centre which wasn’t nice at all.. and I was craving for stingray and chicken wings la, but we didn’t get it in the end.
