First item bought for our new house

A warm welcome to Sleepy the sheep to Scruffy family

Our $3,500 mattress has finally been delivered to Ling's place. Both of us need a good mattress because we tend to backaches hopefully not due to age catching up with us but rather her old and soft mattress which have minimal back support. This mattress will definitely follow us to Privé in 3 years time. Speaking of which, looking at the speed of the development, I hope we can get the keys by end 2013. That is about 2.5 years time which will give us a bit of time to save for the renovation cost and pay off some of our loan.

I was just asking her today how does it feel to be so committed to this relationship. She says it feels nice to see where the relationship is heading into and she can envision what it is going to be like in 5 years and 10 years time. I can also see where our relationship is heading towards. It will be a fun and exciting journey for us 5/10 years down the road. During my reservist, my commanding officer gave us a talk about how life short life is and we should live it to the fullest. I'm so happy to have embark on this journey with you. Looking forwards to all the happiness you will bring to me for the rest of my life and I will also do the same for you!!!

I just read the note which was meant for 18 August 2011. Thank you so much for the notes. You're such a sweetie!!! I'm looking forward you to be back in my arms next Thursday. *HUGZ*

Me time

We were having a small talk last night about our wedding plans. A small wedding with limited guest or a full blown wedding. I'm actually leaning towards a smaller wedding with like maximum 200 pax.

I like this place where I can semi fulfill my darling dream wedding which she described to me last night. I mentioned to her before that this was the place where I left my past behind and started on a new one. I'm not too sure whether the place can hold 200 pax but I guess it will be one of the location I will consider. How the wedding will take shape will be highly dependable on our guest list.  A garden wedding where we will be able to walk down the aisle with non traditional chinese food. I wonder how much it will to reserve the whole place. Regardless of which, I will try to fulfill my sweetie's dream wedding.

It is nice discussing such stuff with her. Our usual canoodle pillow talk which we discuss about everything under the sun but most of the time about us. I like our open mindedness when we discuss about things. Another topic we discuss about is actually having her dog living with us when we get our new place. I'm alright as long there is minimal dog odour and fur at our new place and that means loads and loads of cleaning. Will keep in view the plans of having her dog over with us, just got to revolve our renovation plans around the dog if he is living with us.

My drive buddy for the next few days

 

You

I'm so bringing you to Elizebeth Hotel to catch an Arsenal Match

It's been a while since I have blogged not because I have lot the interest to blog but I've been too caught up with work and the jobscope now is making my worklife so colorless which in return is making my life very colorless.

The few things which is brightening up my life now is:
1) My love life. She never fails to bring out that cheeky smile of mine. I miss her everyday when I leave for work and I can't wait for the day to end so that I could be back in her arms. I want to have more time with her. And I want to have more energy too because my work has been draining me out so badly I just want to head back home to rest so that I have enough energy for work the next day which is not what I want in life. I want to be able to do after work activities like rollerblading, stroll in the park with Ling, hang out at coffee joints with her, go swimming, soccer on tuesday nights, etc etc. And I'm so looking forward to getting the keys to our house which we will be calling it home in a few years to come.

2) My family. I feel guilty for not spending enough time with them. I love them a lot and I think I have to make it a point to take time off to spend quality time with them.

3) My ride. My little convertible never fails to brighten up my life after a whole week of work. I love the wind blowing in my hair. I love it when my partner enjoys the ride as much as I do.

I love doodling art with you.

I want to use these soon

I love you so much that I would even kiss a computer screen.

Silly stuff that I'll buy you at times to remind you how silly I can get when I'm with you.

My dream is to set up a business with you so that everyday when I wake up for work, it will be you I will be seeing when I reach work, you I will be enjoying the day with at work, and you I will be heading home with. And with you, I will always be a happy boy for the many many years to come.

Major updates

We had our second argument on the day NUS had thier archery competition. It was more of a disagreement rather than an argument. Topic was me holding her hand in school and her feeling uncomfortable VS Forfeits she did at her camp which I deemed inappropriate and her not feeling uncomfortable. She saw where I was coming from and I saw where she was coming from. So it was settled.

Movies movies movies and more movies.... We watched quite a couple of movies these few weeks which totally fulfilled my movie cravings! Kungfu Panda 2, Pirates of the Caribbean, X-men First Class Super 8, Green Lantern. I'm a pirate but I also contribute a fair share to the movie industry. Hee =)

Oh I forgot about my one of my pipes underneath my bonnet which gave way. The air pipe from the intercooler to the engine burst because of wear and tear. I guess it must have been our trip up to KL and Genting which lead to it giving way. It is a pipe where air will travel from the intercooler to the engine. The pipe has to handle high pressures and I guess my crazy driving up to Genting caused it to split. The mechanic advised me to change it to metal pipings as it holds the pressure better and will not give way so easily. But it will set me back about SGD 1000. I wanted to send my car to another workshop and he quickly find a small metal part to link the pipes. Now part of my intake pipe is metal. And it looks damn cool.

Work has been getting a bit stressful as the workload gets heavier. But going home everyday to spend that wee bit of of time with my little Ling just perks me up and recharges me for the next day, Loving you!

Our first bicker

I think we officially had our first quarrel last weekend and I'm pretty much the cause of it. From our post quarrel review, I realised the sentences I used hurt her feelings a fair bit. And I don't think she deserves it because it's an issue which I should take it more light heartedly. But she also understands where I'm coming from but she said she's dissappointed with me with regards to using snide remarks to get the message through. After all said and done and seeing me looking so remorseful, she gave me a hug and told me she doesn't want to live with a meanie.

We had a fulfilling weekend. Lotsa fun with my pudding!!!

Things we did:

Friday
SSO concert on Friday evening.
Dinner at Margaritas

Saturday
Pancake making session
Dinner with Ling and her mum at Ban Leong Wah Hoe (Had chilli crabs, lala and dou mia)
Movie at Kallang (Pirates of the Caribbean)

Sunday
Lunch as sister's place
Washed our car

Perth Trip

Woooo... I totally forgot to blog about our trip to Perth before we both started out at our new jobs. We made a quick decision when I was in Beijing for a board meeting. We were discussing where to head off to before we embark on our jobs. I suggested Perth since she hasn't been to Australia before, and coincidently, her sister was heading down to Perth to visit her sister in law. We thought might as well join her for a couple of days for the farmstay...

These are some of the places that we went to:

First meal when we reach Perth City

Metro

Playground at Simmo's Ice Creamery

Busselton Jetty (2km long Jetty) 

Our lucky (186) IDLE car plate

Balancing on railway track at Busselton Jetty

A brand new start

It's been a while since I've blogged because I was pretty much caught up with handing over my duties to my boss back in JAIC Asia Capital Pte Ltd. It was a good 3.5 years where I learnt about the business world. I would say that I had an exciting first job because of the responsibilities and opportunities I was given.

I just started out at my new job at Capitamall trust. The working environment is good and colleagues are nice. Although I'm performing a totally different function comparing with JAIC, I'm keen to learn new stuff. I'm currently with the investment and asset management department learning all about running and managing shopping malls. I strive to move up to the investment department in the next 1 to 2 years after picking up my basic skills in managing REITS. My better half also kickstarted her job at NUS with a leadership camp in Ipoh. We had a short discussion about people working for the sake of working and not knowing what they want in life. Although she is in camp now and I don't really enjoy being alone because I love her company; I'm happy that my little pudding is doing what she likes and does best. I just hope that there are no smokers around so that she won't be thrown into the realm of temptation.

We're proud owners of a house now. I term it a house rather than a home now because a home consist of a family unit which I'm looking forward to build a very happy one with her. I can see myself spending the rest of my life with her. Speaking of which, she farted on me 2 days ago when she was sitting on my lap. I guess it must have been sweet revenge for all the farts she smelled over the last few months.

"I love you for providing a listening ear, when I'm super irritated about things like.... the BUS LANE!!!"

I love you for writing all these sweet little notes to me. Whenever you're not around, I could open one up to read and it eases the nigging feeling. *muackz*
