Just celebrated Lily's birthday for her on Thursday. She was a real happy and delighted gal that day. She must have thought we were all busy and with Miko not around, we probably would have forgotten, but hey we didn't! Gave a surprise knock on her door at about 12.15am that night and she was clad in her pyjamas only when we brought the 'cakes' out for her. Len and I had baked one for her and Yanni and Qiao Ying bought one for her. As in the usual practice, longy had to hose her as well, but we didn't go too far, just the back of her PJs were wet. Had a potluck birthday dinner for her later that day and boy it sure felt good having a sumptious meal once awhile with 8 dishes and it was a lucky number too! Hope you had a great day Lily!
Shit, I got the months mixed up in the photo, should be July instead of June. Well, anyway, ironically it was Lily's birthday but I got some gifts from darling too. He wanted me to still know that I mean alot to him. The previous post and the cold shoulders I was giving him 2 days ago really hurt him. Guess Val was right about being stressed and getting to a point in time where I need to sort some things out. It didn't totally clear my thoughts, but then again, Darling's too sweet not to be loved and with the amount of love he has given me, I realised you shouldn't ask for too much sometimes. Understanding and compromise are some of the things that are needed to make a relationship work. I know sometimes he could be the most irritating person in the world, but I would miss those silly things and stuff if they are not here. People tend to regret stuff only when they lose it and it happened to me a few times, so I hope I can be more level-minded in future.
Met my supervisor on Friday and it lifted up my spirits a little after we kinda got the project sorted out a little more. Joyce had been asking me about my faculty brochure ever since her's came out a week plus ago and she was on the front page. Well, I just happen to pass by the rack and saw that the brochures for my faculty had just arrived and so I check it out to see how my photo shoot had turned out. The first thing on my mind was it didn't quite look like me. Darling and Len say I look natural and fine in it though, it doesn't really matter anyway. So the rest of that day was spent playing games and having dinner at Quba thereafter. Awww, the Prawns and Calamari with garlic sauce was awesome and darn I really have been eating quite abit the last few days.Today(Sat) was a happy and fruitful trip down Melbourne with darling. Yess just with me and you and you and me. It's been a long time since the two of us went anywhere together and so we decided to just make it "Our Day" today. Mt. Dandenong ranges was a great place and even though we were there only for a short while, it was still a joyful trip. We got some toys and bracelets from GEPPETTOS WORKSHOP and had tea at MISS MARPLE'S TEA ROOM. Man, the scones there were really awesome with the raspberry jam and whipped cream. Actually everything there tastes great, especially the desserts and darling tried out the soup too.
Couldn't believed just an hour after that, we headed down to Uncle Danny's for dinner. We had no where to go cause all shops were closed by then as it was already about 5.30pm and the main aim today to go collect the durians darling ordered anyway. Noodles and Wraps had the best malaysian food ever and Darling, Len and I love everything there. From the Sar Hor Fun, Char Kuay Tiao, Ipoh Hor Fun, Fried Rice to Curry Soup, Len keeps imagining ways to abduct Uncle Danny back to cook for her... Haha..
Okay I promise to make this post a short one. One is because it was only updated a few days ago and two is because I have been telling darling im gonna do some studying for the past 2 hours already and I haven't started anything yet.. *haha, LOL* Yess, it's only week one or for some of you, uni's not even started yet, well lucky you then. Nobody wants to stress themselves when its only the first week of school, neither do I, but I just don't have a choice. As you can see, Saturday was shopping day with Len at DFO, I reckon they should pay us for promoting them, yeah? Anyway, there's really heaps of shops and we didn't have time finishing the three rows of it when it was closing time. We reached there about 3pm and they close at 6pm and yess, its us gals and we definitely take longer. Most of what I spent was on darling's pre-birthday gifts, which was a dress-shirt for the upcoming SRA Ball and a Canterbury Polo shirt. Don't ask me what brand that is, I reckon the guys know better, apparently it's a brand that endorses rugby products and darling's mad about it. So you can tell, it's BLOODY expensive, worst than a Nike or an Adidas Polo shirt. But awwhh, I guess its worth spoiling him a little sometimes..
It's the second day of class and I decided to do a little update after coming back from the photography booth at uni. Darling's still having his lab and won't be back will 4pm or 5pm and I plan to take a nap after this cause my head's throbbin. Guess it's from the late night sleep last night, when the two of us were tossing and turning and I was throwing my tantrums with my mood swings again. Back to more happy stuff, Evon's back for a visit and some shots taken with her and the girls on our Yum Cha that day. Just read an email from my mum that day asking me to try and stop worrying about too many things especially the PR thing and about darling's fate and me next year. It's real ironical how my mum says she trusts him and hope she's right that he is "The-One", while his mum asks him not to be too serious in the relationship. Sometimes I get really pissed that my mum dotes on him so much while Im kinda like nothing to his mum because she refuses to let her "precious" be snatched away. He says that his parents need time.. yeah time.. Time will tell lotsa things...
Couldn't believe we were really bored that day on the way down to city and decided to play around, being vain and taking photos in the car. Anyway I reckon Len's gonna charge me for copyright one day with all the photos I put up her in my blog! =) The trip down was to have a last night clubbin for Miko in Melbourne and also to send her off the next day. Mind you, having a trip with too many people can be a real headache cause you get problems like not enough transport (2 cars but 13 people), people who act like kings and queens and expect to be picked up whenever they want. Darling and I agreed that this would be the first and last trip with so many people. We even took the risk squeezing 13 people in a service apt. meant for 6. Lucky it was only for a few hours sleep with the time we came back after clubbin..
So Miko went back M'sia on 16th July. Lucky gal, to think she was worrying too much about not passing all her modules wen she actually got D's for all of them. Damn I didn't even do that well for my supposingly last semester last year, I was partying away like hell. Well, that's apart from the point, congrats to her for her graduation anyway. ;p Anyway the first day of uni felt really weird, going back to lectures and stuff, plus my mixed up of modules I had to change. Then again the undone project is still left on my mind. *If I could have a wish from a genie now, I would ask him to complete my Java program for me*. Yess think Im going nuts already sometimes, what with so many things to handle on my mind that I have been having mood swings with darling. Like last night filling up the M'sia Police Clearance form to send back M'sia ask my parents settle for me. I just felt so agitated and grumpy thinking of further forms I have to feel and places to go to complete the different processes. I told darling I needed to talk to a counseller..
Last Friday, darling's mum went back to Singapore, so this vain pot finally can't wait for the chance to be able to bleach and dye his hair. The after effect of the bleach was pretty nice and he looked more charming than ever with the light brown hair. *Sorry, beauty is in the eyes of the beholder* But, hey then again, darling is charming right? Anyway, apparently the blue coloured dye didn't turn out exactly the way he wanted. Think it's cause we dyed too soon right after the bleach, so some parts came out green instead and some parts remained blonde. He still said he kinda liked it and maybe later on, we'll dye it some other colour. He was boasting to my mum about how he could finally dye his hair after his mum was gone, so that it could start growing back by the end of the year. His mum's eyes will pop out if she sees him like this!
The left pic shows of my uncle, auntie and cousin who's staying in Melbourne. We went out for dinner a night just before my mum flew back S'pore. Anyway, we just got back to Gippy on Sunday, with me driving in the wee hours of the morning at 5.30am plus 6am. Len, Joyce and I had wanted to set off at 10pm on Sat night after we had sent my mum off at the airport. Guess it was me being pretty sturbbon again and wanting to dilly dally so I can see darling just awhile more. Then, darling's mum wouldn't hear of us setting off so late, so we stayed the night at the service apartment instead. Earlier that night longy had broke the news to us that his mum found out about our relationship through the mobile phone SMSs; coz she was using mine as the spare SIM card was inside. It's just so typical of darling to go dig his own hole. When we met his mum earlier, the look she gave us is just so scary. Darling says she's really nice and stuff, but Len and I reckon she still sort of has the typical S'pore 'Tai-Tai' feeling...
