::*speechless*::

as the title claims, this is the quiet side of me. don't really have anything to blog about today except for the fact that i've been scouting for our engagement rings online, which my father has also been pressing us for. *sigh* i'm not regreting this engagement, but its just that so many bad things are happening right now, with all the rumours and financial expenses, its just hard to get what we want. and when i buy things, i only go for the best. people who know me would know i only have eyes for good stuff. no arrogance intended here, its just a frustrated me trying to make ends meet with all these inevitable expenses that i have to maintain every month. treating my daddy dearest to a nice birthday dinner at no signboard is already enough to kill, if my mommy weren't gonna split the bill with me. *phew*
back to the engagement rings, i'm definitely in a dilemma as to whether we should get white gold or platinum. of course i'll prefer platinum, but as to whether we can afford it is the exact crux of this discussion. i'm earning quite well, but my soldier boyfriend is not because if you recall correctly, he's still serving the army with the title of a recruit. so the pay he draws monthly, is not enough. unless we can pay via instalments. but i do have an idea to get my daddy to apply a supp card for me, and then i can use it to swipe for our rings, and then slowly pay my daddy back. i love my daddy! he's the world's best banker with interest-free instalments. *hee* consider this matter solved. all i have to do is to get consent from my mommy. wish me luck!

::blogging blogging blogging::

dunno why, but i keep blogging today. maybe its because i have loads on my mind and writing is my only form of release, so here i am. *shrugs* its about time to go home and its monday today. mundane and monotonous are the exact words which complement today. i'm aware i've started pms-ing again, but that's only normal. and with that, it makes me extra moody, extra fiesty, extra emotional, extra sensitive, extra paranoid and extra tempermental. so beware, dun aggravate me, or i may just clamp you alive. *grits teeth*
but on a better note, christmas is coming, and i'm so glad i'll have christmas eve and christmas day off so i could spend some time doing my christmas shopping, and also spend time alone with my dearie. *cheeky grinz* and also not forgetting, we'll be attending church, probably the midnight service with my sister and kor at their church (or so they claim). and i wanna wear a dress for christmas! hmmm but shall i also wear my dress for our christmas party here in the office or should i just wear it for christmas eve and christmas day? *hee* oh i dunno, but i'm certain i'll definitely be spending a wonderful christmas with my baby! and besides, i have so many dresses, no worries, i'll probably just pick 3 and wear it on on different days. *hee* see, how blogging just changes my mood? i'm happy again!

::happy/unhappy::

i'm happy today because:
1) my bosses have agreed to letting me off an hour earlier this saturday, so i could rush down to my baby's POP. *yay*
2) we found out today that we have christmas eve and new year's eve off! *screaming*
3) there's gonna be a christmas party on the 23rd for members, so that means food again! *yum*
4) this saturday is deardear's POP, which means he finally gets the following week off, which means i get to see him every single day! *screaming even louder*
5) i finally found a thick jacket to keep me warm here at work. its my baby's springfield wollen jacket vest. i look nice in it too alright? *winkz*
6) time seemed to have flown pass today! amazing.

i'm not so happy today because:
1) someone has been spreadng some horrible untrue rumours about dear's and mine engagement
2) trying to clarify with his best friend, and then i'll go confront that person.
3) i haven't booked my basic theory yet, and this means procrasination is in process once again. *shaking head*
4) my dad was pressing me on which uni have i decided on.
5) my resources are flat, and i'm hoping for my pay to come in soon. *counting counting*
in conclusion, i am a relatively well-balanced gal today. *smilez*

::rumours::

its funny how suddenly everyone around me has become a "princess" ever since i became daniel's princess three and a half years ago. *major eyeroll* that aside, i'm disturbed to hear that one of my dear's buddies have been spreading this untrue rumour about why my baby and i got engaged. i'm definitely not happy about it, and i will do something about it, even at the cost of this friendship. all those talk about this impulsive engagement just so i could stay over at my boyfriend's house?! excuse me, get your facts right. i didn't have to get engaged with my boyfriend just so i could stay over, my parents gave me permission. it was because of you-know-who had to get all so upset that i had their permission, and she didn't and thus she thought it was unfair. besides, engagement and marriage are such beautiful events, at least it was the most special moment for me when my boyfriend made the announcement. why do some people have to go about spoiling such beautiful memories? why can't things be as simple as you see it? i've been with this guy for the past 3 and a half years, we're marching towards the 4th year even as we speak. since i was 18, he has been in my life. i have given him the most precious gift a girl could possibly give (apart from virginity that is, and yes, i'm still holding the V card), my youth. youth once gone, will never return. from 18 to 21, he's the first man in my life, first boyfriend in my life. this engagement is to tell people, we're not getting any younger, and considering the length of time we've been together, yes, its about time we brought this relationship into another level instead of just being a boy/girlfriend. this engagement is to tell people that hey, we're serious about each other, and yes, marriage is just a matter of time and financial stability for us. i've told myself before, and to God, that if daniel and i ever made it to my 21st birthday, i'd like to get engaged with him. because i asked God for a sign, i asked Him to show me if daniel is possibly my one and only. and now, i believe so.
i rest my case.

::final book-in to tekong::

just like that, this weekend again moved by swiftly. but surprisingly, i am not as upset as the first time that i had to send him to tekong. unknowingly, this is the last weekend before he passes out next saturday. 3 months ago, i remember returning from tekong by myself, and i thought to myself, how will i survive this 9 weeks? well, good news is, i just did! so his passing out parade (POP) will be this coming saturday, and yes, yours truly will be attending his graduation from basic military training (BMT). i'm so proud of my boy! *smilez*
and this weekend had been great because:
1) i spent 2 nights with my baby, cooked and cleaned for him. i'm practically his maid?! *screaming* prepared for his booking-in tonight, and after 3 months, i am now officially an expert in folding his smart number 4 uniform. *grinz*
2) incredibles on friday night was good, just like finding nemo, or even better.
3) we didn't go anywhere far this weekend, because my baby wasn't feeling too well. but we had a movie marathon on our own with rented vcds. from the dirty dancing 2, to the lord of the rings (the return of the king), we also had bruce almighty and the whole ten yards. hee!
all in all, everything was nice - sweet nice. and i'll be counting down to his POP this saturday!

::bad start today::

i'm not so happy today because:
1) i had a hard time getting up early today *yawn*
2) was suppose to meet biscuit at 9am to book basic theory
3) at 8.55am, i was still at home! *tongue sticking out*
4) so i messaged her to say that i'll be late, no reply.
5) i got worried, so called her twice, no answer.
6) she finally called at 9am, and she just woke up?! *fuming*
7) wanted to still go down myself but a thunder-storm was stiring, so on a second thought, better not.

but i'm happy today because:
1) guess maybe it was a blessing in disguise that we didn't go, heavy downpour
2) i get to eat my breakfast even though i'm all made-up *yay*
3) my deardear is booking out tonight!!! *screaming*
4) and he got GOLD for his IPPT yesterday, making him one of the 5 golds in his platoon! *cool*
5) we're gonna be catching Incredibles tonight! *jumping up and down*
6) someone, pat girlie, dropped a comment on my blog saying this new template is nice!

::ta-da! my new template::

*clearing throat* ahem, how does my new template look? lovely isn't it? almost perfect, suits the current christmas season too, dun you think? especially with the little snowflakes creating an artificial snow feeling, ah it just makes you feel so romantic! *snapping outta dreamworld* okok, honestly, do drop me a note to tell me what you think of this new template, done all by myself, yours truly, within 2 days.
a quick update:
1) well turns out that i did go down to ubi driving center this morning after all, in hope of a successful application for basic theory.
2) guess not because the guy said application must be in person.
3) there also wasn't much dates left except on the 29th of dec
4) brace yourself for the worst part: there will be an additional charge of $5.25 on top of the usual price, because we will be doing the test via this new computer system which we would need to undergo training for. *mouth wide open* like for what in the world?! *major major eyeroll*
5) so i left in a huff, amazing.
did you know that:
6) both my sisters didn't wanna drive me to ubi, and i had to get my dad? 7) my dad had to send me to paya lebar station thereafter so i could catch the train to work?
8) i woke up extremely early at like 8am?
9) and i was still 15 minutes late for work *damn*

::frozen::

any colder and i'll not only have vapour coming out of my mouth, my fingers, toes, ears and nose may just fall off too. *shivering* its freezing cold in my office, plus the cool weather outside. *shrugs* anyway, its been ages since i really blogged about anything and everything, hee! so here i am, just wanting to blabber all the way because i'm so free and so bored. *tongue sticking out* mundane stuff like waking up, getting ready for work, running for the bus and the train, and walking super fast to get to office on time are just some of the stuff that i do every monday to saturday. and then there's lunch to worrie about since we don't have alot of choices here in town because everything's just pretty pricey. oh and not forgetting the whole 8 hours here in the office, we're just suffering under the freezing centralised air-conditioning, blogging and surfing and gaming till its time to go home .
alright, enough crap. pat didn't make it for her driving practical yesterday. but i'm real proud that she even made it this far, its not easy. driving never was, and then i thought, when issit gonna be my turn? i've been procrasinating, dragging and just pretending i didn't have to take driving. contemplating if i should ever take it, seriously wanted to drop the idea and accept the luxury of being driven around, but as a modern woman, i have to get my license!!! *screaming* yes i know i have to. so now, biscuit and i are gonna take our basic theory (yah we have to start from scretch remember?), and like most probably i'll drop by ubi driving centre tomorrow morning to book a date for our basic theory, i'm so glad i'm finally doing something about it!

::saturday::birthday party::

today's post will be about yours truly, relating the happenings of my birthday party last saturday @ costa sands, pasir ris.
::pretty me, preparing before the start of the party::

::my 2kg Lana chocolate cake *yum*::

::after the eating and the gathering, it was cake-cutting time::

::prince and princess with the pampered royal highness::

::my big family::dajie and kevin kor rushed back for my party::

::my future in-laws::

::girlfriends::extreme right is biscuit with munchie::

::mainly dear's buddies::

::my nice bosses::

::only two came from my old secondary school::

and now the highlight of that night, which came as a surprise to many.
::my baby making the annoucement of engagement::

::showing the very exquisite swarovski engagement ring::

::a precious shot of me wearing the ring::

::forced to kiss, with my dad yelling in the background "kiss longer!"::

::the next morning, after the busy night, setting off to escape theme park where we screamed it out::

::and finally, 2 big bag full of prezzies ::

::older::matured::engaged::

apart from my long weekend which ended almost close to perfection, something major had also happened in my life that fateful night now that i am another year older. i am engaged! *loud applause* now i am officially known as Daniel Lim's future wife-to-be, meaning fiancee, meaning we are betrothed. *PrincessWylyn bows* i am happy, excited and proud, i love him so much, and i dun care about what other people have to say. we may be young, but we've come a long way, in a longer relationship than most couples my age, and this engagement couldn't come any more timely. three and a half years into our relationship, and we're maturing into young adults, responsible and accountable to our families, and most importantly to one another. i received a message from him this morning which sent tears trickling down again. it read,

A promise of marriage i make to you.
To wed with you and live with you.
May our engagement be filled with love, happiness and trust.
Always will i love you dear. :)

according to ROM there is no legal provision for engagement. in the context of marriage, engagement is a promise to marry made between two individuals. and so the announcement was made, for all to witness, this promise which we will carry, until the day we say 'i do'.

::biten::

my dog bit me last night when i tried to carry him home from the car. and now i have this huge bruise on my left hand, damn! his sharp teeth tore open my flesh and i bled. *mouth wide open* it swelled up too ya know?! *pouts* and i have a manicure session tonight after work, i'm doing it just for my birthday, to beautify myself, and now my hands are gonna be so ugly! *holding back tears* i'm so angry! *fuming* but i gave him a piece of my mind, and slapped his tiny face. he got me so mad i just had to teach him a lesson so that he'll know never to try to bite me again.
prior to that, my parents brought me to changi v for dinner last night to have my favourite ipoh kway teow, hee! *drooling* and i guess there's no such thing as free stuff anymore, because there was a hidden intention. make a guess, its not that hard. they practically compelled me to invite my horrible sister and her horrible boyfriend to my party! why should i? i was really fuming last night, i told my dad i hated him and i will never forgive what he has said to me. and at that very instance, my mind was greeted with this daily bread entry that i came across about a week ago. dated 11th november, it talked about the significance of the cross and the death that Jesus willingly accepted. the physical suffering was horrible beyond comprehension, and the worst aspect was the seperation from the Father. in his book, Dare to Believe, Dan Baumann wrote, "we have perhaps unwisely and sometimes unconsciously galmorized the cross. jewelry and steeples alike are often ornamental and attractive but carry nothing of the real story of crucifixtion. it was the most painful method of public death in the first century. the victim was placed on a wooden cross. nails...were driven into the hands and feet of the victim, and then the cross was lifted and jarred into the ground, tearing the flesh of the crucified and racking his body with excruciating pain. historians remind us that even the soldiers could not get used to the horrible sight, and often took strong drink to numb their senses." what amazing grace. my eyes were filled with tears when i read this. did you know Jesus still pleaded for the soldiers, chief priests and teachers of the law, for the forgiveness of their sins? at the very moment when nails were being driven into His hands and feet. Jesus said, "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they are doing." Luke 23:34 my heart is filled with awe once again, and once again i thank You. i knew what Jesus wanted me to do, i knew what my dad and mom wanted me to do. but being human, i was unable to let go of the bitterness. i prayed about it, i cried about it, i asked for forgiveness, and i asked Jesus to help me forgive them. even though they will think i'm being a hypocrite and that i'm just pretending, God will know my heart. so that's that.
and so now, they are invited to my party on saturday.

::birthday party coming::

my birthday party's drawing closer and closer, and i feel excited, worried, paranoid, scared and sick about it. how shall i put it? basically just apprehensive i guess. i'm praying that my big sis and my bro-in-law would be able to get seats on the 19th so that they'll be back to attend my party on the 20th. i don't want her and her horrible boyfriend to attend. i'd mentioned before that she's fine, but definitely not him. i was already beginning to accept him before he started insulting me. honestly, what sort of future brother-in-law would bring himself to insult your future wife's sister?! *mouth wide open* yah i know, my point exactly. no matter how much wrong you think i've done to your precious girlfriend, the minute you start hurling abusive words at me, that's it. he's screwed his only chance of ever being accepted by me and my family. wait till my father and mother hears of what he's said about me, he'll be terribly sorrie, he'll wish he never set foot in my house. he had no right, he still doesn't have any right, and he will never have any right. *major eyeroll* enough about him.
so as i was saying, my current strength for my party would be about 30 pax, more actually i think. i'm not that sure because i'm expecting at least 10 people to call me up on that day to tell me they can't make it due to whatever last-minute excuses they can come up with. but i do have a steady number of people confirm coming even if if osaman suddenly decides to bomb costa sands. *tongue sticking out* how crappy can i can? *lol* stress. anyway, for your info, there's not gonna be any games or shows or performances or anything with the likes. its just like an all-you-can-eat-buffet thingy, and a chill-out session, kinda like a catching up period. ok? biscuit and i just booked a manicure session with our tenant downstairs, hollywood secrets, we get a 10% discount! *yay* our lady boss will be joining us too, hee! so let's hope she'll let us off earlier tomorrow so that i can do a pedicure as well. *praying*

::modified version of my wishlist::

it has come to my attention that alot of people actually took my previous wishlist for real. it is not true. i repeat, that was not true. it was a prank intended to scare my deardear, it wasn't my intention for you guys to go to that expense. i will feel bad. so, here's a modified version of my wishlist, a more realistic one if you will.
1) honestly, i do like those stuff i mentioned earlier on from victoria secrets. hee!
2) i wouldn't mind CK's Eternity Moment perfume. note: if anyone's really gonna get this for me, make sure its the smallest bottle ok?
3) i've seen a couple of ladies carrying burberry's handbags and i actually think its quite nice? so yah, this will make number three.
4) Guess wallet. this has been reserved by biscuit (i think) so hands off!
5) think it'd be nice receiving gift vouchers from my favourite brands e.g. morgan, mango, swarovski, guess, SK jewellery etc.
6) one of my birthday wishes is for my baby to book out early this weekend, and that my big sis and my bro-in-law would be able to get back from aussie on time.
7) next wish would be for world peace, and i pray for a stop to animal abuse and animal cruelty of all forms.
8) i do like crystals and jewellery from swarovski but its way over the budget so forget it, besides, not everything from swarovski is nice, so unless you know me really well, or else its ok. but then again, their handphone strap is really sweet, the one with the swan, guess i wouldn't mind accepting that *tongue sticking out*
9) i welcome hugs and any form of hand-made stuff, i would appreciate them very much, really.
10) i've got a sudden fetish for watches, guess watches if you will. but then again, my wrist is really puny, so unless you've really got an eye for good stuff, or else, its really ok. i'd appreciate your thoughts. *smilez*
after all, gifts should come from the heart, not how much they cost. anything from anyone will touch my heart. God bless!

::poser::

its amazing how someone can be such a poser who tries to steal your style and the way you write and yet pretend like as if it was her own creation?! *blah* oh god, what a poser?! *screaming* i'm going outta my mind! i'm damn sure she drops by my blog every now and then and conveniently adopts some of the use of my words and phrases. i know i wasn't the forefather of the invention of english words, but its the phrases. i'm talking about the use of phrases at the precise timing after i have posted my blog. *major eyeroll* in addition, she's has this major identity crisis, she's already 20 for crying out loud! she's lacking her own style and identity, pathetic. *shaking head* like what is she gonna do with her life at this age still mimicking others, she should have already gotten pass the idenitity-crisis-era, its really sad ya know? i really feel for her. my boyfriend knows her too, but he says to just leave her be, and hopefully one day she'll find her real self. *sigh* i hope she knows who she is, and when she reads this post, she'll know i'm directing it at her. like many girls, and i mean lotsa of girls are so envious of my natural dark tan color, note the word, natural. i was born with a dark skin pigmentation, and i tan very easily, and the best part? it stays. i don't have to be like some losers who have to tan twice weekly or more just to keep the color. like comon, if you have a lighter skin pigmentation, just accept it. no matter how hard you try to tan yourself darker, you're just never gonna get it. face it. we're different. *sigh*

::great weekend::

last weekend was one of the happiest times of my life, because i had my deardear every step of the way with me! *foolish smile* i've got so much stuff to blog about *screaming* and i've got lotsa pictures of US together! hee *big smile*
::wednesday night, getting ready for a clubbing session which never happened::

::thursday, my birthday dinner at country manna (myself)::

::thursday, my birthday dinner at country manna (my handsome deardear)::

::friday, after work and shopping at levi's::

::deardear with his cute angry face::

::saturday, after work and chilling out session, while waiting for our movie, taxi, which by the way, was really good *lol* (dear's buddies)::

my all-time favourie season is christmas time! the lovely lightings at night along the whole of orchard road is spectacular! a week ago i took a walk down myself and all i felt was loneliness because my baby was confined, but when he was out, he made it a point to walk me down from my office building right down to centrepoint, hee! i love him so much!!!
::at takashimaya, we look SO good together, that's what everyone says!::

::still at taka, outside rather::

::me opposite paragon::

::at tangs, my favourite christmas decor of the year, simplicity is beauty::

::HMV, a.k.a the heeren shops, the view from the top of the shopping centre::

::the christmas tree outside borders, they move and change color!::

::opposite borders, they had this huge christmas tree which was SO beautifully done up::

::finally, another sweet pic of US together::

christmas also reminds us of the death of Christ "for He so loved the world, He gave His only begotton Son, so that we may not perish, but have eternal life" John 3:16 christmas is about the gift of life and we should celebrate it!
::sunday after church, heading for a tim sum buffet hee!::

::my present church, St. Peter's Church, where we have resided for the past one and a half years. we will be shifting back to potong pasir, our new compound at the St. Andrew's Village come january 2005::

::monday after our swim at safra tampines. the swimming complex at tampines central is under renovation until september 2005?! *mouth wide open* anyway, we headed to the airport for lunch after our swim, my favourite ban mian and beef ball noodles! we had swensons banana split and celebrity brownie for dessert, what a pigging session!::

all in all, we had a great, fantastic time with each other. but as all good things must come to an end, so did our long weekend. and now i'm back to missing him again. but its ok, its alright, its gonna be 4 more days to bookout day, bookout day bookout day, yeah! *tongue sticking out*

::hungry::starved::craving::

::friday::

with a long weekend waiting ahead of me, i'm feeling good all over, even though i still have to come back to work today and tomorrow. deardear walked me to the bus-stop in the morning, that's what he usually does when he's out. it would be crazy for him to send me all the way here to orchard and then go home. i wouldn't allow it. alright, updates updates:
1) well, turns out that we didn't go clubbing after all on wednesday, because the queue was simply too "snake-winding" for us to make it anywhere near the entrance. so after waiting for abt 2 hours, we decided to head down to oasis for supper at the taiwan porridge house. the night was pretty well spent if you ask me. because we went for a little stroll by the waterfront after supper.
2) the sun indeed shone brightly for us yesterday and i'm so proud of my boy, he can swim so beautifully now. shows that my hard work paid off. but the pool was just flooded with people, especially children just fooling around, blocking anyone who wanted to have a decent swim. after a short while, we left.
3) after our dip, we went to costa sands resort, where i'll be having my birthday thingy, to confirm the catering stuff. i will only know my chalet unit when i check-in, so let's pray it'll be a good one.
4) deardear ordered my favourite cake for my birthday liao, so happy!
5) oh and yesterday we went shopping and i got myself a couple of tops from mango and topshop. what to do? i'm a topshop member, i have additional discounts for my birthday, and they just sent loads of shopping vouchers for christmas! man, they just want me to keep spending money! and so i "sinfully" did. *tongue sticking out* and because i overspent, i couldn't get my heels from u.r.s and charles & keith, *screaming*! oh and guess what? mango finally decided to come out with its own privilege card. how to get it? $200 in a single receipt. how much is the discount? its only a pathetic 5%. so i guess i'll just look around and see if they have any nice clothes for me to even spend that amount.
6) because i'm also a club levi's member, i get 25% for my birthday as well. man, the sins of shopping. but i decided to let my dear's buds use this 25% instead. dear says i've got too many pairs of levi's jeans, and too much clothes. *tongue sticking out* actually its not that much, probably just a whole wardrobe full of clothes? and my wardrobe is from the brand cupboards, where the length is from the floor to the ceiling, and fake walls are built at the side, to make the sliding door. the width of my wardrobe? 1.7 metres. i shall post a picture of my wardrobe so you'll know what i'm talking about. hee!
7) i feel so sick about my birthday party. i dunno how the day's gonna be like, feel like just closing the whole thing down.
8) yes, after this post, i'm gonna do up my birthday wish-list!
9) i guess my number one worry is still about whether my boyfriend is gonna make it for my birthday weekend or not. *keeping fingers, toes, hands and feet crossed*
10) am i gonna let she and her horrible boyfriend come for my party? in all honesty, i don't think i'll welcome her horrible boyfriend. maybe she's fine, but not her boyfriend, definitely. but knowing my parents, they'll probably force me to invite them. but i dun want too!!! i can't take it! *screaming*
okok, so i'm gonna do up my wish-list now.

::happy happy happy!!!::

i'm on MC again today, the second time in a month, 2 weeks in a row. honestly, how sick can i get? and i feel so bad having to tell my bosses i can't come to work again because my throat is still infected. *sigh* bad feelings aside, i really couldn't get to sleep last night because of the stinging pain in my throat. i kept waking up to drink water but it so did not make me feel any better. and as a result of my "water parade" last night, i ended up visiting the toilet at least a hundred times. so the minute the clock struck 8am, i quickly got outta bed, washed up and went to the clinic downstairs. i knew i needed to do something about the pain. i was already losing my voice yesterday at work and i even threw up all my herbal tea this morning! *mouth wide open* i know i know, and i'm convinced never to try self-medication again. prior to this, i went to the pharmist to get a stronger dose of lozenges and it so didn't help. anyway, the doc was pretty surprised to hear that even though i finished my course of antibiotics, my throat is still infected, only worser this time. so he specifically instructed me to avoid cold and gassy drinks, and even fruits?! i repeated after him just so i heard him right. he said, until i recover from my cough. fine. so after taking my first dosage, i'm feeling alot better in my throat. i mean, duh the pain is definitely still there, but at least it wasn't as sharp as last night. but i'm still coughing quite badly. *sigh* and turns out that the medicine is not drowsy enough! *screaming* i can't get to sleep, so here i am, blogging away. which reminds me, i actually have loads to blog about! *screaming again* okok, calm down. slowly, one by one.
1) my dear's booking out in less than 7 hours' time, so i'm gonna see my dear in less than 7 hours' time! *applause*
2) seems like she and her horrible boyfriend left for KL this morning, and will not return until sunday. *jumping up and down* peace on earth at last!
3) i took some pictures of my little dog to kill my boredom in the morning. and i'm gonna post it up soon! patience, patience. oh did i mention, he's sick and also on medication like me? hee.
4) my party's drawing near, its actually next week! *screaming* oh no, everything's so not prepared, i'm so not prepared! but i've got my leave approved though, hee.
5) i pray for a sunny day tomorrow because i wanna go swimming with my baby! i reckoned part of the reason why i've been so weak the past 2 weeks, and falling sick nonetheless was because i haven't been exercising. so i have too, before my limbs become too stiff.
6) i'm gonna draw up a wish-list for my birthday, so that nice pple like you will not have to rack your brains too hard for my prezzies. *thick-skinned*
7) deardear says we're gonna have an all-you-can-eat meat buffet tomorrow. hmmmm well, i'm not exactly a meat-lover, so i'm not exactly excited about it. but i don't mind, after all, anywhere with him is heaven to me.
8) i've decided that i'm gonna treat my parents for a good meal one of these days (while she's away), to show them i still care and love them, and that they'll always be my heroes even though they're ignoring me.
9) i'm happy happy happy even though i'm sick and my throats' killing me! okok, i'm gonna get some rest now.
10) there's no number 10 because i really need to get some rest now, haha! *tongue sticking out*
