Happy Birthday Hubby! @ 10:59 AM

BEFORE YOU WATCH THE VIDEO, I HAVE A FEW THINGS TO MAKE CLEAR...

1) I know nuts about guitar and I cant even strike a single note.
(I am just ACTING with Jeremy playing behind) If not it is like so plain to just sing like this..

2) Don't laugh at my pimplyful face T.T

3) Don't laugh at my awful singing!! :(

I am doing this for Kenny because its HIS BIRTHDAY! Tho I celebrated his advance bday, but I couldn't be there for his actual day. So, I guess this is the what I can do for him "cyberly"..

Happy 23rd Birthday My Love...


I hope you will receive the best bday pressie today! The results of your interview..

* Awaiting good news!*

UPDATE: How can I leave out those who helped me with the beautiful music piece.

Big hugs & thanks to..
1)WENNY, for the "egg-shake"(you can hear it @ the background).
2)JEREMY, for the guitars & superb background music.
3)GINNIE, our director for the day!
4)VALIE, for the kindly sponsored camera(so clear that my pimple is so visible) :)

I want goodbyes no more :( @ 2:45 AM


We always knew in our hearts that we had this unfinished affinity to settle. How our 1 month puppy love went off abruptly during Secondary school. So silly :)

That sweet one month with no quarrels, 186 bus rides, Michael learns to rock's 'That's why(you go away)', our first kiss, most memorable and everlasting paper hearts, morning meetups @ Tea Garden, our touch-nose rule.

I can still remember how you kissed on my unsightly long scar saying that you do not mind.

I often think back on how we had come so far. Can't stop but smiling foolishly by myself to think that you are actually the one to spend the rest of my lives with. Afraid to think that you might be the one to leave this world before me when we are old.

After 8 years, our love story continued from where it stopped. Commiting a 'Yes' to the relationship, comes with a price of waiting, uncertainty. I thought that I am strong enough to persevere through the years, I thought that I can wait as long as I have faith and love. But things are so different from how I imagined. As the days, months, years past.. feelings and love for him grew stronger, and now I want him so badly by my side. I can wait no more. But law & boundaries have their way of doing things that sometimes maybe only prayers could help.

Can someone understand how I feel? We tried so many ways to be together. If only I am not bounded by tuition grant, I think I am already in Msia right now. Then again, the people I have met, the job I have now will be completely different. But in anyways, I always thought that Singapore will be of a better future for us. His and my family being here, also to compare currencies.

Fate made us play hide-and-seek with each otherfor the past and it is still on-going now. Having to travel to and fro Malaysia every weekend is definately tiring and I admit that I do complain and always bring up the old stuffs, like - why you gave up your PR status. Then, there we go again.

When we decided to be together again, we knew these would happen, just never thought that it will be this tough. My emotions are over-whelming now. Cos' I've just got back from KL again. Good-byes are never ending.. Sigh..

This week is exceptionally important to me. It may be a week of anxiety, hope, disappointment, or even, pockeful of happiness! Whether or not he gets the job, it definitely is a deciding factor which contributes to how our future plans will be like.

All I need to have is faith and keep praying.

P/S: Kenny's Bday tomorroww!!

The truth is @ 1:43 AM


Today's question is: To what extend will you go in order to become famous?

I've been filled with anger and can't take this recent matter lying down. I've seen the ugliest side of someone of an angel-like face and of good educational background. Someone, who was once a role model to many.

But sadly to say, I do not know her well. I wished to know her and hopefully to be given a chance to know her better when she was introduced cyberly by my friends.

I believed that her fame probably rose recently and congrats to her because that would mean that her plan (probably strategise for quite some time) suceeded! Oh, I forget to emphasize - "evil" plan. An attempt to tarnish one's reputation so as to gain fame for herself!

To the extend of uttering rubbish, of which NONE were factual. I must stress that what she mentioned to the public was the exact opposite of what she was given. For example,

Daddy: Nah girl, this 100bucks is your allowance for this month
Girl: Thanks Dad, you are the best Dad on earth.
Girl tells friends: My dad is the worst, gave me 10 bucks to survive for this month.


Friends: FUCKED UP DAD!

Okay, that might be a real bad example. But heck, what I am trying to say is that, when one says about scandalous & negative things, people usually believe & listen! I'm trying to take the above example in comparison of what she did. We gave her that much, but claims that it is an insignificant amount or maybe none.

But what is the use of defending? It will probably backfire.

IF I am able to say out loud to the world, the statistics and hard-rock solid proof will make her unable to breathe, not to mention utter a single word of defense. We know what you are trying to do, you can fool everyone but not us.

Now that she realises her popularity probably dropped a lil, a delibrate action was attempted, to raise the controversy once again.

Boring. Please be indulged in your own self deluded lies.

"Consider what a great forest is set on fire by a small spark. The tongue also is a fire, a world of evil among the parts of the body. It corrupts the whole person, sets the whole course of his life on fire, and is itself set on fire by hell."

We are going to Bangkok! @ 2:34 AM

Yes we are going and are not just saying! Booked the tickets, checked the hotel already! Valie is going with us too (YAYx3)!

Hoho, I'm feeling sooo excited. This is the 2nd time that I'm going overseas with my friends. Malaysia not considered as one. I went to Vietnam with CBB the other time together with Campus mates. Felt sick during the journey and was not used to the food there.

Also the 3rd time I'm going to Thailand! Used to visit when I was very young and another time I travelled to Thailand by CAR. Yeah, I am serious.




***********

Here are some photographs taken at HSM movie screening.


I wonder what time will Kenny reach Singapore. Am still waiting..

Yummy fruit tarts for our love ones! @ 12:15 AM


This post is supposed to be up hours ago.

Just when I am about to CTRL + S in PS, my house went black out. As in a section of my block =( Now its up and running, so I shall continue typing and stop ranting (which I had been doing to Kenny just now )..

Wen and I finally satisfied our sushi craving which we had for the past few days after HSM3 movie screening today. Another good thing is that we are already planning for our BKK trip with valie! (yes, i know Bangkok is currently political unstable and there might be war?) I don't know. God will bless us. *prays*

Ming was overseas for bizness this week, thus no sports day on Friday. (we could go ourselves, but we lazy :X). But we have plans to end the week! That's to..

BAKE!!!

Am not the cooking type, and I gotta admit I only knew how to make spaghetti. So hopefully with Wen around, I will become a much wifey figure to Kenny. LOL!

The aim for the baking session:

1) To bake a sucessful pie for Cherie to give her bf ai xin fruit tarts!
2) To master baking myself so that Kenny can feel more loved :X
3) Wen to teach us how to bake fruit tarts and also spend her time in a more fruitful way(she gets bored easily :X)

You can see the amount of <3 <3 Cherie is puting in for her bf..



Wenny cooking noodles for us while we are preparing the stuff!~


Scruffy: Smells good, ME WANT TOO!


We have strawberry, kiwi & peach for our tarts!


Putting them in the oven!! *Excited*



Glenn figuring out how to operate my microwave/oven. I didn't know either!!




Can someone educate me on the differences between convectional bake and 2nd convectional bake? At our first attempt, we tried convectional and it turns out that the crust POP UP instead of remaining FLAT! =(

Nevermind! We still have the 2nd & 3rd batch and used the latter baking method. YES YES, that is the correct one!! No popping out, lying flat whr it is! Us being super excited, tried out the custard that we prepared on the crust. Why watery watery one =(

Oh nos. In order to pass them, we used cream instead (play cheat!). Then we placed the fruits on them! It looks soooooooooooo nice!! Not only do they look nice, they taste super yummmmy as well! REALLY!!!



Do they look appetizing?!?!
They taste even better after placed in a fridge!!!

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

TO MY DARLING KENNY!


老公仔, I will continue to learn how to cook and hoping to master as many dishes as I can so that I can always fill your stomach with lotsa yummy food and love! Lets start with something simple and soon enough you will be indulged in my cooking!! =) HEHE!

Will bake this again myself so that I can bring over to Malaysia for you!! I'm missing you badly, so badly. Today aft hsm3, I'm wanting you more! They hugged, dance and sing with each other, I hope we can do those soon! Love you.


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

So after baking, evil wenny tempt me with...

MAHJONG!!!!


See, they so good, help me clean my mahjong tiles LOLOL!

You know what, I've been playing mahjong for continously three days!!!
Lastly, thanks Wenny & Cherie for the enjoyable time!!!!

Toilet fees in Malaysia @ 3:18 PM

While waiting for Kenny to pick me up from KLCC this morning when I reach KL..

Raine: Why so long?
Kenny: Sorry was stuck in a jam for an hour! Super urgent, I need to find toilet.
Raine: Just now I went to the toilet at KLCC, they charge me RM2 (SGD 80cents). Why so ex ar? Singapore the max 40 cents only.
Kenny: Lowyat, such a lousy shopping centre charge the same too!
Raine: Wth, so I present them with this ticket everytime i enter KLCC toilet?
Kenny: Not sure.
Raine: It says premium toilet, okay lor, the attendant greeted me, pass me tissue after I washed my hands.
Kenny: They better.

Everything is rising in msia, petrol even toilet rates! So now, min. toll charge = toilet fee! People tend to go the longer route to skip toll and now people have to go to other places to avoid high toilet charges. However, many of their problem still not solved. E.g. traffic jam. Terrible.

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

Random pics of the day:

Meet scruffy!
(wen's dog)



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

Internet here is soooo bad.

Had such a hard time writing this short post.

Anyway good news for all nuffnangers!!

You can stand a chance to win a camcorder! Ugh, I also want :(

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


It's raining nw. Thought of going midvalley while Ken's working. Still having mild diahorrea. Think better not go out then, if not I will spend lotsa money on toilet. LOL.

Safra Yishun! @ 10:01 PM






Thanks to Safra! If nt my weekends would be so boring....

(*Mmm* Not taking Mahjong into consideration yet.)

Supposedly to attend the Safra briefing along with other selected bloggers and Ming but it turns out that he will be having a long and well prepared presentation for the MPs..

So the smart and lonely me dragged Huiwen along..

Thankfully for her, you are able to imagine/witness the exciting and breath-taking moments in Safra Yishun while looking at the photos later! We are hanged up high, walked on thin lines and had triggered rifles..

BOOOOOOOO! Time for the action!


The friendly staff from Safra HQ welcomed us and brought us through a very detailed explanation and introduction of Safra. Did you know that each of the different locations of Safra serves different purposes? Like the one that I've been to is for Adventure! They have like other Safra clubs designed with facilities just for sports, gaming, family-oriented and others! How thoughtful! The Safra membership card does not restrict to one location only.

Upon entering Safra, there is one very distinct logo which caught my eye! PARTYWORLD IN SAFRA YISHUN. So i asked them if I will get discounted rates and YES is the answer. The safra membership card entitles you 10% off at every partyworld outlets! Very good already ok! There are many other benefits too! But I can't absorb everything they say. So why don't you check it out at their website.


(Not bad huh like credit card with no numbers
)

Btw, I really like Safra, so this is not an advertorial, besides who would want to engage me to do an advertorial -.-

They asked us..

"Are you afraid of heights?"

And I thought that they are going to make us climb the highest rock-climbing wall in SEA!

* * * *

******

Sadly, we are not able to try it because it is drizzling so we proceed on to a more exciting adventure!


Firstly I would like to introduce our helpful instructors of the day..

(Someone *whoops* & Kenny)

YAY! Here we go, climing these stairs, filled with excitmentttt!

*
*
*
And we are now engaging in...


Introducing Roy!

LOL. He is a real funny guy.


This is what we are going to attempt, doesnt look that scary right?!

There are altogether 4 stages. Start at the left side and den a detour back to the station!



All Set & ready to go!


Not to forget safely measure is a must!

The first step is always the hardest..
& here we go!

Image and video hosting by TinyPic

Wee DONE!

*
*
*

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

We have a little tour around Safra after that and also to the "Fruit Machine Room"!
You should know what it is! Don't try to be innocent :D

Ta-dah!

Just nice under the coconut tree

********

Lastly to the MOST INTERESTING AND MY FAVOURITE part of today's event!

AIR RIFLE!

Safra Yishun is the training ground for the Singapore national air rifle team.

You have to either book the venue under coporate or in advance and wait for approval. Not any Tom Dick Harry can enter.



Uncle here giving us a live demonstation and lesson of safety precautions!

HAHAHHAHA Just posing lah.

And now for the real thing...




Presenting you my score card!

-Picked this out of the best-

WUWUWUWU.

Well I think the photo says it all, thanks wen!

I'm going to psycho the army boys to get Safra card!!!!

And both of us ended the day with Mahjong! YAY!

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


XX's party at Thumper!

Just some random picks!






<3 <3


If you have good observation skills, you will notice that the girls are wearing fake lashes on that day! Haha!

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

Bah I'm missing Kenny like crazy! Hope that I can make it to KL this weekend.

Till then!
