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!!
