thanks for today.
for just holding on tight to my hand.

you constantly remind me that God never ever ever gives up on His children.
even if they keep failing and falling down flat.

on a lighter note,
who's gonna peel chicken wings for me when ure back in perth?

indeed it was a really special dinner..
the whole night was just perfect...

took the 6.00pm shuttle to hougang mrt station and i just knew i would be late for the dinner date..
at 630 i was still amazingly at potong pasir when i smsed him..
the NEL is usually so fast im always early..guess when ure late..ure late..haha..
as a result of reaching city hall at 650 i literally ran (in heels) all the way to suntec tower 2..which in case you dont know where that is..its right at the end of suntec where the huge adidas shop is..haha..
but all that running was really worth it..
from the escalator upstairs my prince charming was spying on me and surprised me with a huge bouquet of lilies! (:
dinner was a delicious affair..
he brought me to have indonesian food at the sudanese house..
was really lovely because he pre-ordered and paid for the dinner before we arrived so everything came like clock-work from the drinks to the dishes (it was also probably a ploy to prevent me from finding out how much he spent on dinner)..
curry chicken, sambal prawns, kang kong and one of the best tasting sea bass ive ever had..
dessert was an interesting indonesian concoction of super-sweet mangoes and pomelo segments..
by the end of the dinner i really felt like i was going to burst...

took a walk down to the esplanade..
went up to the sky garden and it was really nice with all the soft lighting and the band playing downstairs..
needless to say there were quite a lot of other couples there too..
i was just telling him that theres really no where else to go in singapore..hurhur..
we sat down and as if the dinner and flowers weren't enough..he had yet another surprise for me..
out came the butterfly pendant that i had given up looking for some time ago..before christmas i think..
it really made such a wonderful surprise..

with all honesty..
its not the flowers, or the dinner or the presents or the hefty amount of money spent that made my valentine's day such a lovely one..
its the person i was able to spend it with and knowing how much effort and planning he put into making the night a memorable one..
thanks dear..
things just wouldnt be the same without you around..
and just like you prayed before dinner..
may our love for each other, as well as our love for God grow with each passing day..
and may He continue to bless our relationship as He has been for the past nine months..
(:

its already been a week since i last blogged..
and since im waiting for my hair to dry..
here's another entry for all my blog readers out there..

lets start of with a little update about school shall we?
well..the modules that ive been worried and gone sleepless over are so far so good..
but that isnt to say that theyre easy..its rather to say that with the right attitude and mindset it can made into something managable and enjoyable..
yup..
intro to visual comm didnt turn out to be that bad..it was just that the first day of class i was suddenly thrown into a most frustrating situation whereby i had to use adobe photoshop to design a poster thingy when ive NEVER used that program before..
but the following week we spent about 2 and a half hours just doodling and drawing..churning out endless useless, funny and weird sketches..
today we did presentations of our decided sketches to be used in the final prototype design and it was rather fun..
i actually was more confident and interative with my "audience" than i thought i would have been..
thank God for michele too because shes always (literally) beside me helping me..
and for pushing me to take modules that i never would have taken (a.k.a this module and science fiction last semester)

as for shakespeare..its been quite good actually..
sure the workload is heavy with all the readings, extra readings and self-study of the various plays but its interesting..
im learning beyond just the play..
im learning about editors, authorship, questioning the concept of minor characterization, sources, authenticity..
not just the usual going through the text line by line as is the common practice of secondary school and jc..
and thank God for a project group in which everyone is serious about getting the work done and sharing the workload..

what else...
besides school..nothing much has been happenning..except chinese new year which just passed..
chinese new year was a really good time for me because it gave me the chance to visit his relatives and just spend more time with his family..
went to his grandma's (father's side) house for dinner on the first day..
hugeeeeeeeeeeee family..all the family members inside one flat..haha..with loads of food to feed the dense population..
after that we proceeded to his other grandma's (mother's side) for dessert..hahaa..homemade cheesecake made by his uncle..and there was even mango cake leftover from celebrating his grandma's birthday..
oh yeah..he was telling me that his uncle usually sleeps really early but was at grandma's house because he knew i was coming..
haha..his brother was like saying it must be because of a "V.I.P"..hurhur..
and as if there wasnt enough visitation therewas still more activity that night as his family came over to my house to visit..
haha..his family..my family..wayne and lily (my neighbours)..and of course tea and heaps of new year goodies covered the table outside under the stars..
it was a good time of chatting..laughter..lots of jokes and teasings too..needless to say quite a lot of it was directed at me and at my expense..
haha..

speaking of his relatives..we had a late night outing with his cousins..all thanks to Kelly for so enthusiastically organizing it during the dinner night at his grandma's place..haha..
the initial plan that got everyone excited was to go to MOS..
but alas..when we got there..there was NO QUEUE..because it was closed.
tsk.killjoy.spoiler.party pooper.wet blanket.bah.phooey.bleah.
haha..yeah..was such a disappointment..but it was quite a sight to see MOS without a queue..hurhur..
stranded we proceeded to brewerks!
me, jy and his other cousin took Kit's Lexus..and wow..it looks really good..the silver makes it even more sleek..i like..haha..very spacious..and it has a touch screen panel..amazing..
(jy are u reading this..better work hard and start saving money! *hinthint)
had a good time at brewerks..we ordered two towers..the first beer was indian pale ale..was not bad..very smooth..the second one we ordered was black razzy..which was..a bad choice..haha..tasted too much like a fruit drink doused with alcohol..
their snacks are good though..absolutely loved the fries..the nachos wasnt too bad either..
and as if it wasnt enough indulgence..the next stop was mdm wongs..
more alcohol..vodka lime and bourbon coke..haha..as if to make up for the lack of MOS that night..
dancing was fun..not many people around but just enough on the dance floor..
but be warned..dancing immediately after downing so much alcohol is very very bad......................you have been warned.enough said.

gosh.
its already 3rd feb year 2006..
honestly..where did time go?
time seemed to have whizzed by from the time he landed in singapore on the 24th of nov 2005 to now..
week after week just passes by with a blink of the eye..
sigh..its really true..time seems to pass by a lot faster when ure having fun..
and more than having fun, im having the time of my life..
no its not all smooth-sailing and fairy tale days but with its fair share of silly arguments and quarrels..
through it all..i just thank God that He has given me someone whom i can learn so much from..
jy has really taught me so much and im still learning as he is learning from me too..
a relationship is more than just giving and taking but its also about correcting each other in love even though we know its gonna be hard to be harsh on the other party..
thank God that jy knows when to put his foot down and tell me when im wrong..
he's following my mum's advice of "cannot spoil her"..hurhur..
no wonder my parents love u so much..
tsk..
haha..
*Grin

alright..
i should really speed up the drying process with the help of my hair dryer than head straight to bed..
gotta wake up early tmr!
he's coming down to have breakkie with my family..
the ping guo pie that we bought from carrefour today..
Yummy!
(:

night y'all.
