- The End -

it's one sad day..

i juz lost a part of my memories dis evening..
gone wifout me even realizing..
now missing wifout a trace..

i sld have done sumtingy bout it..
a long time before..
i sld have saved it in da most inpenetrateble core..
i cld have hid it fr da pry of claw-like hands..

da same descript of sugar and spice..
now lingers in da stills of time..
so silent it is at dis twilight hour..
no one to sing da tunes of love..
missing dat touch.. those hugs.. our everlasting frenship..

i miss wen and shee..
and i hope baby can bring those memories back to me..

My Valentine's Day

Happie Valentine's Day!!

My lovely pinks and cremes from Baby

Started da dae wif choc hearts fer everyone at werk.. glad dat dey reacted gleefully at their lil gifts.. tehe.. some wld go hm dis evening.. brandishing da choc hearts in frnt of their hubbys.. teasing em of a new lover.. haha.. others (and im not mentioning names) juz chewed on da pralines "appreciatively".. haha!

baby picked me up at 6pm sharp.. and my heart skipped a beat when i saw him looking suave in his new black shirt, donning a new haircut, wif a big, red bag of "i love you"s and a pretty bouquet of flowers.. hehe.. as planned.. i passed him his "lil gift".. a black and white checkered box dat was da size of my palm.. wahahah! hmm.. tink he looked a lil disappointed? hahahaaha!

we made our wae to town in da camden shuttle bus and walked towards wisma.. baby disclosed dat he made dinner reservations at 7pm over in taka.. as we were early, i suggested opening our pressies outside da secluded area btw taka and wisma.. baby din seem tew excited by it.. tehe.. but nonetheless, we carried on wif da idea.. baby feigned excitement as he took da lil gift outta da plastic bag..

Me: Chuppie.. u dun look tew happie wif da present.. its tew small izzit?
Baby: No la.. its nice.. i like da box..
Me: Hmm.. okayy.. *reaches hand into bag to retrieve present no. 2*.. wld u prefer dis?
Baby: *surprised*.. hahahaa!.. hw come deres anada one?? uuuuuuu!
Me: hehe.. r u happier nw?
Baby: *nods cheerfully while pawing at 2nd pressie in da form of a round, blue box*
Me: hmm.. *reaches hand into bag to retrieve present no. 3*.. den hw wld u like it if i gave u anada onee??
Baby: *expression = priceless*.. OMG!! *mouth agape as he holds onto big, biege box (present no. 3)*
Me: heeheeheee.. i tricked u, din i?! ahahahahhaha!

hehe.. my baby sho cute.. i sld haf taken a snapshot of him den.. =P.. aniwaes.. tink he reali liked da innovative gifts i gt fer him.. clothing, chocolates, skincare, photoframe, a watch and a little pooh.. hehe.. apart fr da flowers, i received a cutey carebears tee, a soft pooh plush toy and my pink crystal bracelet (repaired!).. a reali scary thingy tho is hw our cards had da same phrases and sentences written.. it was like our tinking was 99% on par!! *stunned*

was pleasantly surprised when it turned out dat baby made reservations at "The Angus Place".. i had been wanting to eat at dis restaurant since i was 16!! hahahaha.. gt reminded of hw baby coincidentally brought me to "Just Steak" at Riverside laz yr, and DAT was da place i had wanted to go to since JC.. wahahahaa.. aniwaes.. to cut a long story short.. found da food okay.. maybe coz i was stuffed even before da main course arrived!! yay! means my stomach has shrunk! whoo hoo! da steak was perfect.. except dat i din like da "soya sauce" gravy thingy.. da dessert was refreshing wif a zesty sweet taste.. baby n i both agree dat da salad was eeky.. hehe.. we hate our vegs la..

wanted to catch a movie initially, but decided to walked ard abit instead.. oh yah.. got myself some art supplies.. OH SHUCKS!! i left my art supplies at baby's place.. hiyaaaaa.. hahaha.. hmm.. ho hum.. bummer..

tink i sld go slp nw.. but before i do..

i juz wanna thk baby fer planning our v-dae(s).. i appreciate u fer ur thoughtfulness, da fact dat u always give ur best to me despite circumstances, and fer "sticking wif me" fer so long.. im terrible when i get my moods, but thx fer half-dragging, half-sayanging me outta it.. hope u enjoyed my company (before i got my moods).. =P.. i love you and hope u haffa great, great dae tmr.. *muacks*

Future Investment Plans..

a couple of mths ago, i started hearing my colleagues exchange investment tips and opinions.. reminded me of wad my dad suggested regarding getting my hands on some shares and bonds since im werking nw.. and finally embarking on da journey of monetary savings..

personally.. up till todae.. im still da frog at da bottom of da well.. completely oblivious to da world of stocks and finances.. well.. its quite embarrassing at times.. seems almost similar to da instances where me reading da papers was considered a big deal! heh.. =P

awaking from our afternoon nap yest.. i coerced baby fr his slpyness into roaming da grounds of ikea tampines.. my mind drifting to a very foreign.. yet exciting subject.. "building da foundation to a marriage".. fr several mths back.. baby smilingly said dat marrying me was part of his plans for da future, sae in 5 yrs' time.. and i merrily taunted him over several occassions on my lurve fer diamonds.. plus a super duper taitai life.. heh.. not dat i wld stop werk completely when im married.. but still.. its wad most gurls dream of before marriage wad! aniwaes.. bk to our ikea trip..

baby n i started discussing on da sorta furniture we'd haf in our future love-nest.. and wif me adding in my two cents' worth of fengshui knowledge.. we both decided on da simplistic black and white, wif a lil splash of red here and dere.. juz fer some vibrancy.. =P.. surprisingly, we both were pretty agreeable on most stuff.. such as da type of bed we'd slp in.. da texture and size of da living room sofas.. a home office wif several clocks on da wall reading diff times fer my "finance company" husband.. having a large, comfy rug spread out at da corner of a room wif huge, spongy cushions so our family and frens can come over fer drinks, relaxation and endless chit chats.. eh wait.. i tink its juz gonna be relaxation and endless chatterings.. coz we decided its gonna be a "no-drinks" policy as it'd be terrible to clear da nasty water stains at da end of da nite.. =P

we den moved on to da topic of saving up enuff money fer each piece of furniture dat we wld need to make our house a home.. it sure ain't gonna be a small sum of money! haha.. but thkfully.. we both noe dat at da very worst.. at least we'd be able to afford da "ikea style of living".. hahaha! a lil bit lacking on da quality side.. but nonetheless, still some rather creative designs.. prob da few items we'd get fr ikea are da white plates, huge cushions and accessories, da pretty flowering fauna, pots and pans.. and kitchen storage.. coz dey're cheap, innovative and kewl.. =)

well, near da end of da trip, baby n i hadda bigg argument due to miscommunication (again!!).. baby n i survived da fight.. wif him getting a huge bruise on his leg plus several "whacks" from me.. and me receiving swollen eyes plus a couple of ant bites from da army of ants dat baby commanded to attack me at da bus stop.. hehee..

thru-out and after da quarrel.. it made me realize hw impt baby is to me.. and hw easy it is to ruin a beautiful r/s fer da stoopidest reasons.. thus one of my resolution fer da year wld be to control my bad badd temper more effectively.. coz da bottomline is dat "nobody's gonna love me betta.. so i'd betta stick to him fer a long long time".. =)

ps. if my "long-term investment" is reading dis.. pls rem to make a conscious effort to stop touching ur ear.. coz im soo ready to present u wif ur reward - da travel tix and accomodation to our getawae trip.. hehe.. and oso.. juz a gentle reminder fer uu to save up fer da 0.5 carat diamond (ring).. coz im def gonna lose da 5 kilos.. wahahhaha! *biggie huggies*

Food for Thought?

- stolen dis story from moss dom.. and erm.. Mother Teresa..

A man and his girlfriend were married.

A few months later, the wife comes to the husband with a proposal. "I read in a magazine a while ago about how we can strengthen our marriage." she offered.

"Each of us will write a list of the things that we find a bit annoying with the other person. Then, we can talk about how we can fix them together and make our lives happier together."

The husband agreed. So both of them went to a separate room in the house and thought of the things that annoyed them about the other. They thought about this question for the rest of the day and wrote down what they came up with.

At dinner, they decided that they would go over their lists.

"I'll start." the wife said. She took out her list. It had many items on it, enough to fill 3 pages, in fact. As she started reading the list of the little annoyances, she noticed that tears were starting to appear in her husband's eyes.

"What's wrong?" she asked.

"Nothing." The husband replied, "Keep reading your list."

The wife continuted to read until she had read all three pages to her husband. She neatly placed her list on the table and folded her hands over the top of it.

"Now, you read your list and then we'll talk about the things on both of our lists." she said happily.

Quietly, the husband stated, "I don't have anything on my list. I think that you are perfect the way that you are. I don't want you to change anything for me. You are lovely and wonderful, and I wouldn't try to change anything about you."

The wife, touched by his honesty and the depth of his love for her and his acceptance of her, turned her head and wept.

If you judge people, you have no time to love them.
Never take someone for granted.
Hold every person close to your heart because one day, you might wake up to realise that you have lost a diamond.. while you were too busy collecting stones.
