I love the new change

I have been packing and throwing away quite a bit of things over the couple of days. While I was packing, I realized I bought quite a bit of rubbish over the years, thankfully not all were expensive stuff. The main reason why I'm clearing up my room is because I will be sharing my space with someone new in my life. And I'm happy she is invading my room because she is the sole reasons I'm changing the look of my room and I like how my new room looks or will look like. I haven't done much to my room as long as I can remember. This change is good and I have been wanting this change for the longest time.

Some of the major changes to my room:
1) Bigger and more stylish TV compliments of her
2) Cable TV box
3) Single to queen size bed and therefore new bedsheets
4) Bluetooth speakers
5) New posters on my wall
6) New table top decorations
7) New huge black soft toy named Charco

Changes to look:
1) Goatie
2) Evisu Spectacles

I was chatting with her online for the past week because she flew to USA for holidays. As much as I would love to spend Christmas with her, I'm happy for her to be spending Christmas in Aspen where it is snowing. Like she said and I totally agree, there is more of a festive mood with snow. It must be really nice. I spent my Christmas with my football friends and she somehow kind of spent christmas with me and my friends as she count down with my on skype. Not forgetting to say she is the ex classmates of most of my football friends.  She promised to spend Christmas with me next year though, it might be in Europe or South Africa depending on where out holiday brings us. Although I really miss her, but I guess this 3 weeks is a good break for us to do our own stuff. We have been spending really a lot of time together ever since Nepal. I'm a believer that a couple though have a shared life together, they should have some personal to themselves regardless of whether it is meeting their friends or learning something new.

I will remember 22 Nov 2010 as it is the first time she introduced me as her boyfriend to . Theoretically, I haven't ask her to be my gf/partner, but since she introduced me as her bf so I guess I'm her bf now. haha =) I wonder how this is done in recent days. We've considered passing the whole bf/gf thing but I find it weird when I have to introduce her to someone. Thou shalt act on it...

Emotions are the most difficult things to handle at times

It's funny how your emotions can get attach to someone so quickly. It's only been one day she is away and it already feels like forever. And the result, I did retail therapy buying 2 pair of grey pants, one light purple shirt and a grey down jacket for my upcoming trip in Japan. Sometimes, colour do play a part to how I feel on that particular day. I'm usually the kind of person who likes colourful stuff, but today I just went for the grey stuff. But saying this, I must say the grey stuff I bought are nice!!!

Someone gave me advice a couple of days ago  and I choose totally to ignore it. To summarize, better to be cautious or bear the consequences if it ever happens. I choose to believe rather than to doubt. I have enough of doubting in my work life and I do not need any of it outside my work life.  But choosing to believe can be difficult sometimes beause some external factors cannot be controlled. Regardless, I will continue to believe  because somethings in life mean so much to me.

Office is getting quieter by the day due to collegues clearing leave during the festive season and 2 of my colleagues just tendered. One of the reasons why I love company so much is because I have wonderful colleagues and I love every single one them. It's very sad to see one by one leaving the company. We will be shifting to a nearby building to save on rental costs. Thankfully it's still within walking distance from the train station.

Looking forward to January 13 because my silly princess will come back from her trip and we can spend time doing silly things together again.

Happy Days

It's been a while since I blogged because we have been spending so much time together and I can't seem to find the time to sit down to blog. Firstly, we reached Everest Base Camp on 22 Nov 2010. I'm very happy and proud of her because every step she took, she took it for me as it was my dream to go for such trip. How many girls nowadays would pay SGD 4,000 to suffer? We walked 180km over a course of 13 days laughing at each other throughout the trip, especially for her, laughing at me whenever I fart. Somehow the pressure difference forces the air out of my stomach and I farted so much during the trip.

I so look forward to our next adventure which will take place in February.

My new favourite date will be 9 December.  I printed a large picture of us at the Everest mountain range which will sit on her wall soon,  went for a day spa at Batam which I promised after she completes Everest Base Camp and had Japanese Teriyaki at Yamagawa restaurant with her sister and Ashley. I'm beginning to integrate into her family life as she brings me for family dinners etc etc.

I bought a queen size bed because I now have a roomie and my room has been invaded big time. But I love it!!! I haven't been spending much time with my family the past couple of years but with my new roomie, I have love-family relationship balance which I feel is so important to me. My current bed will be relocated to my sister's room.

I got a wonderful christmas prezzie. A 32" Samsung LED TV which now sits on my table top. It's amazing!!! Thank you for putting in so much effort in noticing what I want for Christmas. On my end, I got a tiffany chunky tear drop ring for her. And maybe a laptop, a wallet.... haha =)

I will be posting pictures of our Nepal adventure when I'm done editing the pictures. Till then!!

Dreams really do come true

My bags are packed and I'm ready for my expedition trip to Everest Base Camp. I've always wanted to trek up Mount Everest but financially I'm only able to afford up to Base Camp. Maybe in the  near future when I have the moo lah, I would love to ascend Mount Everest. I was researching and it cost  minimum USD 30,000 to climb up too the summit. But for now, I'll just settle for Base Camp. I'm still doing some last minute purchases as I've found out temperatures in the evening might dip to -7 degree celsius for some days.

Dreams really do come true if you believe in it.....

Welcome to this world Baby Ethan!

I had a marvellous weekend. Firstly, my sister delivered baby Ethan on Deepavali. Deepavali is hindu festival where people of all ages light oil lamps or its equivalent.The lighting of lamps is a way of paying obeisance to god for attainment of health, wealth, knowledge, peace, valor and fame. 
To Hindus, darkness represents ignorance, and light is a metaphor for knowledge. Therefore, lighting a lamp symbolizes the destruction, through knowledge, of all negative forces- wickedness, violence, lust, anger, envy, greed, bigotry, fear, injustice, oppression and suffering, etc.

Baby Ethan definately lighted up our family's lives. It definately represents a new chapter of life for my sister. It is so nice to see her mummy instincts kicking in.

My sister looks beaten up after 5 hours of labour.



Secondly, I finally have Scruffy all to myself eventhough she was a bit moody. We went shopping at Uniqlo and World of Sports for our trekking clothings and shoes. We each bought a pair of columbia trekking shoes which was nice and cheap. Thank goodness I waited for her to come back before I made the purchase because the discount given was much better. I bought a new toy too! I got myself creative D200 wiresless speakers which turned out to be very good. It was more of an impulse buy but Scruffy and I were very satisfied with the performance.  We both decided that we should do more activities together rather than bumming at home watching TV series.   





Kinder Surprise

She finally opened her Kinder Surprise which I bought for her when we went for our diving trip a month ago. I'm "surprised" the chocolate was still edible hopefully she doesnt get a tummyache since she has a weak stomach. And the toy she got was something what we plan to do in February, snowboarding. And she said:" It's a sign....." Although I'm clueless about snowboarding, I'm quite sure I'll have a lot of fun because of her. Somehow she just makes everything fun. And I just like looking at her while she does her housework like dumping her dirty clothes into the washer, folding her clothes, washing the dishes, changing her bed sheets and attempting to cook her fried luncheon meat. I would just stand or sit quietly in one corner and just look at her. We'll be heading on our first trip together in about a week time, I wonder whether we'll be strangling each other or we'll have lots of fun together, hopefully the latter.

I'm in Thailand now visiting all my investee companies, most of the meeting went quite well, hopefully my meetings today go smoothly to otherwise I'm going to be grouchy and I don't want to be because I might be seeing someone at the end of the day. I'm heading to the gym now to burn away the bacon I ate last night.

Business trip to Beijing

I was away away in Beijing for a Board of Directors (BOD) meeting. And I was not able to blog because I couldn't access my blogspot. On top of that, I was not able to log into facebook. I guess it must be the media censorship policy of the government. Each country has its own policy on media censorship even in the country I leave in.

I had good BOD meeting because of 2 reasons. Firstly, the weather there was excellent as it ranges from 2 - 13 degree celsius. Secondly, I always enjoy the company of the directors because they always take care of me since I was the youngest director. When I tell people I'm a director, people are usually surprised because directors are usually not that young. The reason why I was made director was because my boss doesn't understand mandarin and it doesn't made any sense for him to attend the meeting, so he made me the alternative director. Everyone knows that China business trips are always fun because of the entertainment scene there. And it's also the entertainment there which made me pick up social smoking and drinking. Before I started work, I didn't really drink nor smoke but now because of entertainment purposes, I have to.

When I was hanging out with my relatives in the evening for the last 2 days, they attempted to matchmake me with their friend's daughter when they heard I was single. We met her at Westin at night for coffee. She was working late at night because she was in charge of organising the conference for her company. Eventhough it was late at night, she was very hyper when I was already half asleep. My auntie was talking to her most of the time and I was sitting there enjoying my 58RMB earl grey tea. She is a nice girl in general I must say but I had no interest because my heart is in Vietnam

I did a bit of shopping at 秀水街. I bought two Northface jackets, 2 gloves and one beanie for my upcoming hiking trip. I got the fake cheap ones because I was planning to give to the poor over there after I'm done using it. I hope it keeps both of us warm during our trip because it's going to be quite cool over there.

I came back home yesterday and instead of resting, I was throwing away rubbishy stuff and packing away some parts of me. Now I just label those packed away stuff as nice memories. The only things I have yet to pack away are my 2 posters. I have closed that chapter of my life and preparing to move on to my next chapter of my life which I am so looking forward to. And hopefully a new chapter begins when I embark on my "so called" life changing trip in November.

Losing sleep

I havent't been sleeping well the last few days, waking up in the middle of the night. And this started after someone hasn't been beside me all week long. I hope she can watch me fall asleep this weekend but I'm not keeping my hopes too high. I need to catch more sleep, will play some smoothing music to coax me to sleep...

The song currently playing now on my itunes playlist is Love of my life by Jim Brickman, an old song which I newly downloaded....

Shopping for winter stuff

It has been a long time since I went for a winter holiday and I have zero winterwear. And since I will be going for 1 winter business trip in Beijing and 1 winter holiday, I decided to stop into UNIQLO to have a look and they have quite nice stuff for very reasonable prices. I don't really want to spend too much on winter clothes because I do not know when I'll get to use them again unless I get to go snowboarding next year. *wink*

Some of the items I have in mind which I'll most probably buy :

• Fleece Jacket  (SGD 29.90)
• Fleece Jacket with Sheep Wool (SGD 49.90)
• 2 long sleeve Heatech t shirts for layering (SGD 24.90 per t shirt)
• 6 pairs of socks (SGD 7.90 for 2)
• 1 North Face Long trek Pants (SGD 105)
• 1 columbia trek shoes (SGD 150)

I was thinking of shopping with her this weekend when she is back but I don't know whether she has the time for me. I'll probably be shop alone.

Spaghetti Bolognese, the way I like it

1 lb. ground beef
1 packet of sausages chopped
1 can whole tomatoes
1 can tomato sauce
2 stalks of Celery2 medium. onions
5 garlic cloves
6 large mushrooms
1 green pepper
2 tsp. ready to use oregano
2 tsp. ready to use basil
1 bay leaf
1/2 tsp. dry thyme
Fresh ground pepper to taste
1/2 c. olive oil
1 lb. spaghetti
Parmesan cheese, grated
Extra virgin olive oil

Happy week

She left for Hongkong and I'm happy the long torturous weekend is finally over but I'm still afraid that there might be more of these weekends coming when she comes back from her Vietnam trip. Frankie is torturing us as he attempts to cuts himself up and patch himself back.

Who actually is Frankie?
Frankie is a short term for Frankenstein and it is a monster Victor Frankenstein created out of basically crap, and I really mean crap.

Frankie with his best pose



It will be nice if we could elope and dissapear somewhere for a couple of days when she comes back from Vietnam eventhough there is a lot to pack for the upcoming trip in November. I'm pretty worried for her in terms of her fitness level for the trip in November, but I'll cheer her on every step she takes. I can't wait for her return this Sunday so that we can spend some time together. I bought her something fun and cute to play with to make up to her all the nonsense I gave her over the weekend.

Taking a step back

We had the longest weekend and we were kind of upset with each other over some stuff. She was settling some personal issues and I was waiting for answers. For me, it's almost like waiting for exam results, not knowing what will happen next.  And for her, I guess it's taking the exam itself. The d date was set about a month ago. A week or two ago, she was telling me that she would only go through half the materials and I was telling her that going through half the materials would have a high possibility of failing. However, when she updated me yesterday, I found out that she actually went through all the materials and I really want to applaud her for that because it is not easy doing that because I went through the same experience myself. She tried her best and was tired because the paper turned out to be more difficult than she had expected. I sneaked out of office and bought her happy food to spur her on.

For me, I had mixed feelings when I found out answers. My emotions left half hanging from Thursday and I kept myself occupied by watching TV series, taking walks, working out and hanging out with friends in hope that time would pass quickly but somehow the clock seem to tick longer than usual. I tried my very best to keep my emotions in check while waiting.  On one hand, I'm happy that some events have taken place which what I was patiently waiting for the past month or so but on the other hand I'm unhappy with the post events taking place.

I'm always trying to keep my cool so that I can judge and manage things in the best of my ability. However, for some reasons, I semi lost it on Sunday night. I did something which I told myself never to do, to corner Scruffy. Scruffy has become my best friend. We shared lots of happy times the past few months, actually maybe years and the best thing is I could confide in her about anything.  At the back of my mind, I know how Scruffy operates; Corner Scruffy and bear the consequences of being biten. Eventhough I had the facts at the back of my hand, I learnt my lesson the hard way and the bite was painful. Angry as I was, I forced myself to take a step back and tried to see things from Scruffy's point of view.

I'm the kind of person whom cannot sit and wait for things to happen. That is why during interviews when I'm always ask whether I'm an independent worker or a team player. My answer will always be more of an independent worker than a team player. I understand the importance of being a team player but more so  the importance of being an independent pusher for the team. This has been what I have been believing in ever since I literally flunk my exams back in pre university days. I pushed myself hard to achieve what I wanted in life.

Perhaps this time round I pushed too hard. I could have done it in a better way. Maybe, it is time for me to take a step back to relook at my beliefs and maybe the outcome might be better. I will learn to work with Scruffy so that we can achieve that end goal that we both believe in.

Scruffy...Thanks for making things happen and sorry for cornering you yesterday.

Don't forget

I downloaded a show called IRIS at a recommendation of a friend. I started watching it last night and fell in love with the plot. Besides the action sequences , the story also develops with a side story where a guy falls in love with a girl at first sight. He tries to woo her by impressing her with indepth knowledge attempting to answer questions during lectures. He manages to convince her out for a drinks, however she dissapears after that. He manages to see her again at his workplace where he is recruited as a secret service agent and by no coincidence she was his team leader, she was tasked to profile him from the day she met him. Eventhough they had good feelings about each other, they were not allowed to fall in love due to strict regime at the workplace. Ignoring these circumstances, they slowly fell in love with each other. However, their love did not last long due to a mishap.

I am feeling emotionally confused because of some answers I recieved today. I do not know how to react because I totally understand the whole situation. It was a situation I would not want to be caught in. I don't know whether I should carry on taking the back seat waiting for things to happen or should I stand up for my cause which might aggrevate the situation. "All's fair in love and war"

Once I've decided on something, I will stay with it until the very end....

우리 서로 사랑했는데
We loved each other.
우리 이제 헤어지네요
Now we are breaking up.
같은 하늘 다른 곳에 있어도
Although we are under the same sky in a different place,
부디 나를 잊지 말아요
I plead that you please not forget me.

차가운 바람이 손끝에 스치면
When the cold wind grazes my fingertips,
들려오는 그대 웃음소리
the sound of your laughter can be heard.
내 얼굴 비치던 그대 두 눈이
The reflection of my face in your two eyes
그리워 외로워 울고 또 울어요
is missed. I’m lonely, I cry and cry again

입술이 굳어버려서 말하지 못했던 그 말
The words I couldn’t utter because my lips were frozen solid.
눈물이 입을 가려서 말하지 못했던 그 말
The words I couldn’t utter because my tears would cover my mouth.

혹시 알고 있나요?
By chance, do you know
뒤돌아서 가슴 쥐고
the person who would turn around with their heart clenched
그댈 보내주는 그 사람
and let you go?
그 사람이 바로 나예요
That person is me.
그 사람을 사랑해줘요
Please love that person.
같은 하늘 다른 곳에 있어도
Although we are under the same sky in a different place,
언젠가는 돌아와 줘요
please come back someday.

I love you "Just the way you are"

Oh her eyes, her eyes
Make the stars look like they're not shining
Her hair, her hair
Falls perfectly without her trying

She's so beautiful
And I tell her every day

Yeah I know, I know
When I compliment her
She wont believe me
And its so, its so
Sad to think she don't see what I see

But every time she asks me do I look okay
I say

When I see your face
There's not a thing that I would change
Cause you're amazing
Just the way you are

And when you smile,
The whole world stops and stares for awhile
Cause girl you're amazing
Just the way you are

Her lips, her lips
I could kiss them all day if she'd let me
Her laugh, her laugh
She hates but I think its so sexy
She's so beautiful
And I tell her every day

Oh you know, you know, you know
I'd never ask you to change
If perfect is what you're searching for
Then just stay the same
So don't even bother asking

If you look okay
You know I say

When I see your face
There's not a thing that I would change
Cause you're amazing
Just the way you are
And when you smile,
The whole world stops and stares for awhile
Cause girl you're amazing
Just the way you are

The way you are
The way you are
Girl you're amazing
Just the way you are

When I see your face
There's not a thing that I would change
Cause you're amazing
Just the way you are
And when you smile,
The whole world stops and stares for awhile
Cause girl you're amazing
Just the way you are

Jumping off the cliff

A couple of weeks ago, I leaped off a cliff not knowing what will happen. The uncertainty is clearing up as the weeks passes. We were at Mcdonald's having dinner one night as she had cravings for nuggets. I think we're trying to finish up the coupons we got from a certain organisation before it is all wasted. Although we were sitting directly opposite each other, we started whatsapping each other and I felt like I was being transported back to secondary school days where feelings were so innocent and pure. We did have a small disagreement on a certain issue and she turned pretty defensive. Although I already had an argument in mind, I decided to just let it go because it was the end point that mattered to me as she had given me her word on something.

She was doodling me jumping off the cliff into the abyss, but I doodled her back a response and both of us smiled. We both agreed that if a relationship is going to happen between us, it is going to be very interesting. We are both very different people in terms of character, but on the other hand, we share a lot of common interest and we like spending time together pursueing our common interest. 

Lochness monster

Don't we all love mythical monsters? And there is one very famous one which supposedly inhibits the Scottish Highlands, and is none other than Nessie. I don't know why but Nessie seemed to occupy my brain yesterday so I decided to pay tribute to it by sketching it on the back of my friend while she was deep in sleep. And here it is, the product of my wonderful work.  I should have drew a longer and thicker tail though. But overall the artwork was satisfactory to my standards.

Preparing for trip

I jsut made my first purchase with regards to preparing for my trip in November. I bought a second hand 60L Tatonka Bagpack at a decent price of SGD 120. I decided to grab a second hand once because I didn't want to spend so much on it. I still have many other things which I require like my hiking boots, fleece jacket, fleece gloves, thermal wear and heat packs. There is a high chance of me carrying my bagpack myself rather than depend on the porter. I want to have the satisfaction of escalating the mountain with minimum help. I will be noting and photographing down my journey up to the destination.

We were playing with my cammy earlier on because she needed a passport photo for her biometrix passport. We had some fun posing and after that we were looking through my past yearbooks  as she wanted to look for someone else who was in the same school as I was. She actually said:"You actually chased your ex gf with this look!" At least she made it up to me at the last moment and said:" Luckily you're a keeper now...." I actually think I look very different before and after I started work. I'm starting to lose the baby face.

I'm going for scope tomorrow to check out my badder because I had very bad urinary tract infection a couple of weeks ago. I'm not feeling nervous at all eventhough I know the doctor is going to shove something up my peehole. Till tomorrow...

Cookie day

I woke up early today and headed out to my sister's place to do some baking. I was shopping yesterday at compass point and I chanced upon Betty Crocker cookie premix. I remember my friend telling it would be nice if there were oatmeal cookies with chocolate chips rather than the Famous Amos ones where they bake it with raisins. I had lots of fun at my sister's house as I was baking and eating at the same time. I don't remember having such fun with my sister when I was young, we only got close after she came back from America and started confiding in me with some stuff. Our sibling relationship just went uphill all the way. As soon as I finished baking, I quickly took off to deliver the cookies because I knew she had an appointment which she couldnt turn down. I only knew she had a couple of minutes to spare, but I really wanted to surprise her with the cookies. I almost teared when she had to rush off for the other appointment, however I managed to squeeze out a smile, put my feelings aside and waved goodbye. Looking forward to Vampire Diaries Episode 5.

Those two pinky stuff are silicone gloves... I love it

Uneventful Saturday

Saturday was unexciting but I manage to do some family time. I always love doing family time even if it's just a simple lunch or dinner. This habit of our family is something which Dad has drilled into us since Day 1. And I somehow do have to agree it is a very good practice and I would definately carry on this tradition. After lunch, we went to Gain City to settle my sister's aircon. My sister has finished her pregnancy term and Baby Ethan is coming out anytime. I can't wait for him to join us in this world. I will shoot photos of him growing up. I went Sports Connection to check out backpacks. The uncle there was one of the nicest salesman. I requested him to take 3 bags for me to see and despite his age, he went up the shakey ladder to get the bags for me. And he was very soft spoken and explain to me that if I want bigger backpacks, I would have to head down to other branches because the biggest the store have is 60litres. I will be heading to the army market sometime next week to check out the bigger ones since I plan to go bag packing more often from now onwards. I went for my usual soccer after all the shopping. We finally wore our white adidas jersey we made for the new season. I wore the number 29 because for the simplest reason, I was born on August 29. We won 4-0, it has been a while since we won by such a margin. After soccer was our atypical mahjong session at one of my buddies place. I always love mahjong sessions both for the companionship of friends and the fun of the game.

Till the end

All these precious moments
With you by my side
Must be a gift from heaven
That's holding me all night

I don't know how I found you
I'm thankful that I have
Now that I have a love so true
To hold, to keep, to share

In my heart I can no longer hold inside
All of the love I used to hide
I'll always be with you until the very end
In this world there in no place I'd rather be
You are my life, my soul, my girl
You through it all I know
That you've come to see that you're the one till the end

All my friends around me
Say you'd be gone too soon
Baby I'm gonna make them see
We've found our way back home

We'll always be till the end

Worst movie ever

I'm blogging this while watching this crap move called the other guys with her. We decided to condemn this movie after The Rock and Samuel L Jackson jumped off the building and landed flat on the floor for the stupidest reason. Classic story of all all brawn and no brain. I watched the trailer and gave it a thumbs up, it must be because of Mark Wahlberg hot wife in the show Eva Mendes. I shan't be shallow and believe in trailers anymore. Movie reviews next time before watching movie. She was laughing at how silly I was when I told her why I chose that movie.

Our "first movie" together as a dating couple and I'm officially banned from choosing movies and watching movie trailers for one month. What a lousy a movie to catch and so much for satisfying my movie craving.

Unbelievable

I had a long day yesterday. Events which took place chronological order. I attended a Pharma sales and marketing seminar this morning which is totally irrelavant to my jobscope and I decided to leave halfway to be a little helper. I helped in fixing up DIY Ikea furniture which I helped chose a couple of days back and  got rewarded with milk tea and Yami yogurt. We went to the airport to pick her brother up, had a quick dinner at Astons, and planned to watch a movie at 2350. We didn't manage to catch the movie as I was dead beat after a long day. However we went for supper at Geylang later in the night when I woke up. As I was enjoying playing with the manual gearstick to and fro home, we made little conversations. And I discovered 2 things she did and/or said which totally caught me by surprise. I always knew she was an adventurours person but she is heading up Everest Base Camp with me because I wanted to, she could have just chose an "easier" holiday but she decided to take a 16 day walk with me. Like I mentioned, we were suppose to catch a movie at 2350 but I was dead beat and unknowingly fell asleep on the foot of her bed, she covered me with her comforter and placed a pillow under my head so that I could rest more comfortably. When I woke up and we went for supper, she told me it was nice looking at me fall asleep and told me she never felt this way before and "blames" me for making her feel that way. One of the few things I don't mind being blamed for *wink*

You find love in the strangest places

It's funny how you find love in the strangest places. I remember her seated in the corner of the office with her hair tied up, wearing a pair of black pants and a pullover listening intensively to what the boss had to say or maybe she was stoning away. Strangely, my mind just went: "WAH I need to know that girl, she's cool!" And so I did try to know her in the strangest way.... "Do you need a lift back home? I happen to be out with my dog, I could give you a lift home if you wouldn't mind." And that was a good 5 years ago. Till today, I'm constantly teased by her for the silly pick up line. At the back of my head, however way she teased me, she was silly enough to take a lift home and from then I knew where she lived.

Correction. According to her, my pick up line was:"Have I met you at East Coast Park before, you seem kinda familier."

Funny boss and what lies in the near future

Today my boss asked:"Do you know who drove me back last night after the Gala dinner?" That was how much my boss drank at last night SVCA Gala dinner and dance. I was very amused at how my boss behaved in front of my friend whom I invited for post gala dinner drinks outside the ballroom. He was asking her what's her perception of Japanese people, and when my friend answered nice and friendly. He gave me a hug when I agreed with my what friend said.

It was a night where rich people gathered to honor old PE industry players and awards were also given out to investment firms with the best exit aka which deal made the most money for them. This gave me a glimpse into life in the high society. I did have my fair share of high society life that night too. I drove a BMW Z4 and headed back to Telok Kurau area where hopefully where my dream home will be in the near future. I enjoyed the night not because of all the fancy stuff I experienced but I caught a glimpse of my future together with someone.

Toilet Phobia

I have a phobia of going to the kitchen toilet at 530am in the morning nowadays because my heart almost dropped when someone entered the kitchen. Thankfully, my cheeky knight in shining armour came to save me with the funniest reason. Thank you so much!!!

Bucket List and Life starts now

I always had a list of things I wanted to do in my life and I never truely told anyone about it until now. I knew her a couple of years ago from my part time job (to earn my extra moo lahs) back in university days and we were always "on" and "off" close friends,  but whenever we met up we could just converse about anything under the sun. Perhaps it was the movies, TV series and music I always shared with her that bonds our friendship. This friendship between us is uniquely weird that I decided to follow my heart and took the leap of faith not knowing what will happen next.

I can't wait for November 12 to come, maybe then, my new chapter of life begins...
