I'm getting old, memory is failing me.
I can't really remember how i spent the pasts christmas.
Except for a year that was spent watching dvds.
Another was movie watching.
Clubbing.
Christmas dinner & gift exchanging.
And there was one unforgetable christmas dinner-the steamed turkey dinner.

Talk about failing memory.

This year, the same was the turkey. Gifts exchanged. Shopping during off day.

The only difference and what a huge difference it was, was the companion of my dear.

The late working hours during the weekends allow me to acompany my dear till 3pm instead of 1pm. 2 more hours earned.

Then, unexpectedly, he had his off day on monday, the christmas day.

I appreciate so much of his presence. His impromptu jokes everytime i met him. His hilarious facial expressions. Everything about him, makes me fall deeper and deeper.

What a wonderful surprise it had been when i'm anticipating that i'm most likly spending the christmas by myself.

And i like the fact that he don't just let small arguments or tension to be just ignored and ceased away as times passes by. He will make the effort of talking it out and letting me realise the way i have acted and whether it was reasonable or not. I must admit, i have my tantrums. My unreasonable demands and requests. He had endure it all. Thank you, dear.

It has been a good christmas. One that i treasure the time spent with him because time is a luxury for us given his nature of work. In fact, i treasure so much the time i can get to spend with him.

Farewell 2006

Another 4 days, Santa will be visiting us.
Another 10 days, 2006 will be gone forever.

What have i learnt from 2006?

What have i gain from 2006?

What have i lost from 2006?

I've learnt to let go of burdens.

I've learnt to be less greedy.

I've become more sensible.

I've learnt to handle better in relationships.

But i have lost the time.

Time and money seems so similar because we are spending it to gain something. But we can't earn time just like we earn money. Can we?

I have no more resolutions in the coming year.

Enough of resolutions.

I think i have mellow much.

Not like before, that kind of enthusiastics etc.

Demands in life become simpler.

Well... so long i'm feeling comfy.

Another year, another fresh start.

********************************************

Alittle sad that our first christmas will be spent separately. My dear will be busy working. Sobx...

My christmas gifts shopping is not quite done yet and as the date is nearing, my head is getting bigger.

Darn!!!

As kids see it

'Mei mei' (4yrs) was showing me her birthday card given by 'san yi por'. 'Ge ge' (7yrs) was around too. We were all supposed to be getting ready to play snap, the card game.

ge ge: do you know who is 'san yi por'?

me: who?

ge ge: you ans me a Q then i tell you who is san yi por.

me: okie, what you want to ask?

ge ge: are you going to marry uncle alvin?

me:*eyes turned big* come, let's play snap.

ge ge: if not, how come you are here everynight? just friends? slept over?

*ge ge whispering to mei mei* both giggles

ge ge: i know the ans.

me: what?

ge ge: uncle alvin is going to marry you.

That was episode one.

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

Part II

Mei mei approaching uncle alvin.

mei mei: uncle alvin, where is your friend?

A: duno. i call her then you talk to her.

mei mei: okie.

*dialling up*
*me picking up but yet to say hello*

mei mei: ~~~ no sound...

me: hello~?

mei mei: *blah blah blah blah blah*

I couldn't exactly make out what she was trying to say but the gist of it was that she found something and wanted to show me.

mei mei: then tomorrow uncle alvin bring you over, okie?

me: eh.. okie okie..

After hanging up.

mei mei: uncle alvin, your friend is coming tomorrow.

Rainy Season

Clouds turning dark and gloomy
Threatening with thunders and lightning

Gone are the days where being drenched is an enjoyment
The present rain only brings sadness and tears

It does not wash away the frown but only worsen the upside smile

What a sad paragraph...

Good Appetite Part II

My lunch @ Cha Kuan, situated at the newly renovated Market Street Carpark which is directly opposite the office building i'm working at. A mere 3mins journey.

7 of us, including the big fat teddy bear, well he's the 'host' what. Of course he has to be there. Lolx.

We ordered:

2 plates of duck, one crispy duck and the other topped with sour plum sauce

2 plates of prok ribs, one fried and the other similar to honey ribs (the latter is nice!)

1 plate of broccoli with shrimps

1 plate of steamed ginger chicken

1 plate of beancurd and assorted vege

desserts is cheng ting.

And a piece of banana and cheesecake during tea break time.

I'm gona to skip dinner tonite.

Good Appetite

This morning i had a charsiew bao, half a cup of coffee (both prepared by Dear), then when i reached my office, i had a packet of glutinous rice and a cup of soya millk, followed by 3 sardine curry puffs.

Is my period coming???

It's been awhile...

I have not been coming in as often as before. Been absence for slightly more than 2 weeks. Have been busy with work, especially after i was back from my leave taken specially to acompany my dear.

Progress has been on the positive side and i am glad. Actually more than glad.
He appreciate for my efforts. (And the fact that he lets me know through actions and words that i am being appreciate helps. I don't like people who silently appreciate and assuming that i know. Assmptions kills. And by doing so, he makes me do the same.)

He shower me with alot of care than i thought he will give.
(The sky-gazing at storey 15. The coffee to perk me up in the morning. The cooking of noodles for me even when we were having disagreement, just because he doesn't want me to go hungry. The time he sets aside for me even though he is so occupied at work. All these may seem small and minor. But to me, it means alot.)

He always (really always, except for once) make me laugh when i'm with him.(He makes an effort to make me laugh, be it through his funny actions or hilarious accents. He is not just waiting for my smile. He is working to make me smile. And i smile and laugh more because i am truly happy when with him.)

Will he be the one who will walk with me for the rest of my journey?

%%%%%%%%%%

So the past 2 weeks have been spent with dear, acompanying him watching tv, having dinner/supper etc. And finally we both have time to catch a movie-Happy Feet. Our first movie date since we were together about 2 months ago. (That's how busy he has been)

Met up with Junie dear and had a great time at TCC @ clarke Q. Great place to relax. We spent about 4 hours there chatting, eating and she doing her homework and me doing some reading.

Not forgetting the movie with Chicky, "Step Up'. A nice movie which both of us didn't regret watching. In fact, we both felt that it was better than "Save the last dance".

Else, i'm either sleeping away or burying under the files.

And managed to have a simple dinner with my folks last weekend.

Nothing much. Didin't managed to head to the zoo. But went for a value-for-money haircut and color treatment instead.

Recently i have a new admiration for a dear friend. His talent for words or rather poems had me in awe. For those who love poems, may wana check out the 'kono' link on my page. He is great.

Christmas is coming. The season of giving is here once again as well as the season of agony. (That is choosing of presents)

As lost at what to get.

Snakey.. gotten her a pair of ear-rings for her birthday, can't possibly get her another.

Chicky.. no idea at all

Crabby.. i know just the thing to get for her... =P

Junie darling.. hmmm.. thinking..

6M, H & Su.. duh...

For office party.. thinking of using up the rest of the cocoa powder to make brownies for them, as well as making fruits salad for them. Perhaps a cranberry jelly too.

Lastly, my dear's gift.. (This is the most headache of all)

(I have a frd who was doing portrait of her gal as the christmas present. He was doing it in pencil, choarcoal etc. So sweet, Well, that is he is brillant in art. Not like me.)

Headache...
