.:: Seeing dear for the last time before my tour ::.

2005-04-20T22:00:00.000-07:00

This morning woke up at 8.30am coz i set my hp alarm at that time so that i can answer dear's call. Five minutes after i switch on my hp, dear called. And guess what? He overslept.. and he just woke up. Oh noooo.. He should be leaving his home by 8.40am.. and he just woke up. But luckily, he's very quick.. got all the things done by 8.45am. If it's me, i think i can only leave home the fastest in half an hour time. *haha*

After dear finished school, he called and asked if i'm accompaning him to Office Max to laminate the photos. Told dear that my mum wanted to go Ross and buy clothes for my brother so we will go together. Following that, mum and i quickly ate the porridge and get ready. At about 2pm, dear reached and we set off for Office Max. Laminated quite alot of photos.. about 13 of them.. and it's only $1.50. [^_^] It's really worth it.. though they didn't really do a good job out of it.. but we can't really complain coz it's so cheap. Imagine if i were to laminate this size in sg, it will cost me about 6/7bucks. Ok, after that, me helped dear cut the lamination and trim it nicely for him. Then, we went Fry's.. i bought a ty valentine monkey and dear bought a facial set.

After Fry's, dear sent mum and i to Ross and then he went back home to study. I didn't buy anything from Ross today. *hehe* I'm a good girl today. But later when i went to Hallmark, i bought a small sculpture thingy to hang in my future car.. it shows a guy and a girl embraced in love. [^_^] After that, we went home and mum cooked pork chop for dinner.

Today will be the last time i'm seeing dear before i left for my tour. Will miss him coz i will be away for 11days and we are only able to see each other in 2 weeks time.. hopefully bah. But nonetheless, we are happy to see each other today though it's only for a short while. Ok, my brother just reached home and he wanted to use the computer already so i will end off here for today. Goodnight. Dear, i love you.. muacks.

.:: Quiet Time with God ::.

2005-04-19T22:25:00.000-07:00

Read something in one of the christian books and find that God actually speaks to me. He's telling me that i haven't been giving him a portion of undiluted, uninterrupted time listening for his voice.. i didn't make a deliberate effort to spend time with God. The last time i had quiet time with God is many many months back.. when i was attending the Discipleship training (Part2). I should spent a regular time with God, praying and listening to His words. Then, i decided to start having a quiet time from today onwards.. and i thought in my mind "How long should my quiet time be? Should i stick to a schedule of half an hour just like what i have done before or an hour?" At this juncture, God speaks to me once again. He let me read these paragraphs..

A regular time and place. Select a slot on your schedule and a corner of your world, and claim it for God. How much time should you take? As much as you need. Value quality over length. Your time with God should last long enough for you to say what you want and for God to say what he wants. Which leads us to a second tool that you need - an open Bible.

God speaks to us through his Word. The first step in reading the Bible is to ask God to help you understand it. "But the Helper will teach you everything and will cause you to remember all that I told you. This Helper is the Holy Spirit whom the Father will send in my name" (John 14:26).

Before reading the Bible, pray. Don't go to Scripture looking for your own idea; go searching for God's. Read the Bible prayerfully. Also, read the Bible carefully. Jesus told us, "Search, and you will find" (Matt. 7:7).

Here is a practical point. Study the Bible a little at a time. God seems to send messengers as he did his manna: one day's portion at a time. He provides "a command here, a command there. A rule here, a rule there" (Isa. 28:10). Choose depth over quantity. Read until a verse "hits" you, then stop and meditate on it. Copy the verse onto a sheet of paper, or write it in your journal, and reflect on it several times.

There is a third tool for having a productive time with God. Not only do we need a regular time and an open Bible, we also need a listening heart. Don't forget the admonition from James: "The man who looks into the perfect law, the law of liberty, and makes a habit of so doing, is not the man who hears and forgets. He puts the law into practice and he wins true happiness" (James 1:25).

We know we are listening to God when what we read in the Bible is what others see in our lives. Paul urged his readers to put into practice when they had learned from him. "What you have learned and received and heard and seen in me, do" (Phil. 4:9).

If you want to have a heart like Jesus, let God have you. Spend time listening for him until you receive your lesson for the day - then apply it.

.:: A message specially for Dear ::.

2005-04-18T20:56:00.000-07:00

I'm not blogging about what's happening today.. this entry is directed to my dear only. I'm really disappointed with you (but i'm not sad) after reading your yesterday's blog entry.. this is the second time. I'm already quite disappointed when you told me that you will not be going to church on sunday and the upcoming sundays.. until everything is back to normal. Dear.. you shouldn't have gone to church coz of me.. you should go to church coz you want to worship God and to learn more about Him and His words (from sermons). If you are a believer, you shouldn't say that you need not go to church and can have faith in Him. This is wrong. If everybody is like that, then nobody wants to take time off or to get up early just to attend church service. There's another thing which i wanted to point out too.. i really don't understand why you wouldn't want to follow your mum to church last Sunday. I can understand that you wouldn't want to feel alone and loney in church. But with your mum around, you are not alone. Someone like her who didn't want to go to church for quite sometime can volunteer to drive Aunt Michelle to church and sit through the service can tell that she has renew her faith in God. Moreover, she kept asking you to follow her to church last week. I'm glad that God has answered my mum's prayers that Aunt Juliet will go back to church. But.. even if she don't go to church this week, you should go. I mean you shouldn't be afraid to be alone coz Aunt Michelle and others are there.. most importantly, God is with you wherever you are and wherever you go. He wouldn't leave you if you strongly trust and believe in Him. Dear.. i know that you will be unhappy with me after reading so much until this point. But i still have one last thing to tell you.. You once told me that it's wrong for Christians to criticize other Christians... don't you find that you are doing the same thing now? A believer shouldn't criticize Christians too. I'm refering to your yesterday's blog. Dear.. every family has their own rules to follow.. your family doesn't have it, doesn't mean that every family have to follow yours. You can't expect my family to do everything according to your wishes just to please you. Our restrictions have been set up since we were young.. there's nothing wrong with it. No doubt that my parents are very strict.. but it's our responsibility to obey our parents and their instructions. We shouldn't quarrel or go against our parents. It is not right. I know you don't like to hear this but i have to tell you and i hope that you will change your attitude and behavior towards my parents and yours. Respect them coz they are your elders and most importantly.. they love you more than i do. My parents are not restricting your doings.. they can't do that at all coz they are not your parents.. they can only set down rules for me.. so they are only restricting me.. not your rights. You should try to accept my family rules.. even if your family has rules, i still need to oblige to them coz they are my elders. Ok, that's all for today. I'm not reprimanding you.. just reminding you that you made mistakes. There's no doubt that everyone makes mistakes in our life but we should learn through mistakes and not let them repeat again. I'm not blogging this to affect your mood or your studies.. i just hope that you will not let your emotions/feelings overcome those important stuffs in life (eg: studies). I'm telling you all these coz i care and love you.. if i don't, i wouldn't even bother telling you. I don't go round interfering other people's business. Ok.. cheer up.. *smile* don't be sad anymore.. everything is over for today.

There's a passage from a book which i just read.. and i would like to share it with anyone who reads my blog.

God loves you just the way you are, but he refuses to leave you that way.

Where did we get the idea we can't change? From whence come statements such as, "It's just my nature to worry." or, "I'll always be pessimistic. I'm just that way," or, "I have a bad temper. I can't help the way I react"? Who says? Would we make similar statements about our bodies? "It's just my nature to have a broken leg. I can't do anything about it." Of course not. If our bodies malfunction, we seek help. Shouldn't we do the same with our hearts? Shouldn't we do the same with our hearts? Shouldn't we seek aid for our sour attitudes? Can't we request treatment for our selfish tirades? Of course we can. Jesus can change our hearts. He wants us to have a heart like his.

Be gentle and ready to forgive;
never hold grudges. Remember, the Lord
forgave you, so you must forgive others.
COLOSSIANS 3:13

.:: Swimming after so many years ::.

2005-04-16T22:52:00.000-07:00

Had a good sleep last night till about 10.30am this morning. Chatted with dear while making breakfast for myself. Then had lunch and went swimming around 2.15pm.. guess who i met there? Dear! *haha* Saw him walking to Aunt Michelle's house and then he also came swimming. But after awhile, we need to leave as daddy said we need to go to library to return our storybooks. But never mind, able to see dear today.. i'm actually quite happy already. *smile* After library, we went New China for buffet dinner.. the food there is really not bad. Following that, we went off to church for the 6.30pm service. Later we went Walmart and bought a christian songs cd and groceries. Oh ya, this is the first time I'm attending church service on Sat. Today's sermon is on the second part of Salvation.. missed the first part coz didn't go church last week. Kind of regretted not going to church with dear last week. Dear did asked us whether want him to drive mum and I to church but mum turned the offer down. It's really not dear's fault.

Below is a song sung in church just now that i like it very much so i copied it down.

Perfect submission

All is at rest

I in my Savior

Am happy and blest

Watching and waiting

Looking above

Filled with His goodness

Lost in His love.

This is my story

This is my song

Praising my Savior

All the day long

This is my story

This is my song

Praising my Savior

All the day long

Perfect submission

Perfect delight

Visions of rapture

Now burst on my sight

Angels ascending

Bring from above

Echoes of mercy

Whispers of love

This is my story

This is my song

Praising my Savior

All the day long

This is my story

This is my song

Praising my Savior

All the day long

Didn't sleep well through the night.. able to sleep at only 1am.. then woke up at 5am.. slept until 6.20am when my dad woke me up. Surprisingly, i wasn't that sleepy though it's like i didn't really sleep through the night. Had my breakfast, then bathe and set off for MVD at about 7.45am.. reached there 8am.. and the doors of MVD just opened. I was just in time.. [^_^] But there are already a number of people in queue. But nonetheless, i didn't wait very long for my turn.. then the person did all the paperwork, took my photo, and i'm done! *yeah* All in all, it only took about 45mins. [^_^] Really glad that everything goes on smoothly coz i need to be back early to go out with dear. Actually my parents wanted to go to the library but it opens only at 10am on Friday. Lucky me.. or else i'm sure going to be late for my appointment.

Came home then called dear at about 9.15am.. guess what? Dear just woke up the moment i called him. *hahah* He jumped out of bed to answer my call. Asked dear if he wanted to go out earlier.. and he said okie. [^_^] So instead of 10.30am appointment, we went out at 10am. Ok, the first destination we went is the Hallmark behind Rockridge. I went there to redeem my free gift - mini heart frame. As for dear.. he bought 10 stamps from there. Hmm.. i'm going to buy stamps from there next time.. coz the design are really nice.. maybe i should start a new hobby of collecting USA37cents stamps. [^_^] Not a bad idea.. *hehe* The second destination is Tucson Mall.. dear wanted to go there and check if his facial cleanser has arrived. But it still didn't arrive after two weeks. Then, we went to Origins coz mum asked me to buy the moisturizer. Apart from that, we also went to American Eagles Outfitters but i didn't find anything suitable so didn't make any purchase. After that, we set off for a shopping centre with a castle entrance.. but i don't know the name of it. There's like only Macy's, Jc Penny and a few small shops over there.. it's kind of deserted and there's nothing much over there.. so i won't be going there again. Our last destination is Park Place. We went to the foodcourt and had pizza for lunch. Dear's pizza is like so oily.. you can actually see the oil oozed out when you place the fork in it.. but it's really delicious though it's kind of fattening.. never mind, it's alright to eat these kind of food once in a while. After lunch at about 2plus, we went to Eyemaster to change the nose pads for my spects.. then went shopping. Hmm, we went to Abercrombie & Fitch, Hallmark, New York & Company and Forever 21. We bought a drink from Orange Julius again.. but then this time we bought orange juice instead of peaches & cream smoothies. The orange is really not bad.. [^_^] Actually i wanted to buy a unique green skirt($29.90) from Abercrombie which is having a sale as said from the website but i couldn't find it at the store. There's a black coin purse which i saw at New York & Co. but didn't buy it.. kind of regretted not buying it. *haha* Mum said i should buy it.. haiz.. never mind, maybe next time when i see it, then i buy if there's still stock. *hahah* Ok, i ended up buying only a keychain for my mum from hallmark.. so i spent less than 10bucks today. I was wondering how come i wouldn't spend much when i'm shopping with dear.. hahah.. if i were to be with my mum, i think i would spent at least 50bucks. *hahah* I still can't figure out the reason.. hahah..

Dear came over this morning at about 10.45am to pass me his history text so that i'm able to find the answers for his history exam on this Thursday. Dear went off at about 11.20am.. then Aunt Michelle came at around 12.30pm to pass us the book needed for prayer meeting.. chatted with her for awhile and let her see my scrapbooks. Did two questions for dear.. then felt kind of tired.. so mum and i went shopping. We went a few destinations.. Famous Footwear, Pier1 Imports, Office Max, Fry's & Ross. All in all, i spent about 20bucks.. bought candles, Cross pen refil and some snacks. Came back home and then dear came my house again. *haha* This time he came to collect his history text back so that he can study at night. Since i had nothing much to do at night, i changed my blogskin as well as Damien's blogskin. Hope that he'll like it.. coz i think that skin is quite suitable for guys. *smile*

//130405
Mum felt that we didn't had time to shop at Ross yesterday so we decided to go there again today. We went Hallmark.. i bought a birthday card for Gina and a box of love quotes cards.. i also paid half for a book on "Quotable Mum".. so i end up spending 15bucks there. We managed to get a free perpectual calandar coz we spent more than 35bucks in total. After Hallmark, we went Ross.. i bought shortbread cookies, a small basket to put my accessories and spects, a body lotion and a set of bikinis.. mum also bought a set.. we can't wait to go to the swimming pool this weekend. *hehe* Actually we can't swim.. so we are going there to play with water only. *shhh* *hahah* We met Aunt Isabelle at Ross so she offered to give us a lift home. *smile* Thanks alot Aunt. Came back and bathe, then had dinner.. coz i got night driving lessons at 7pm.. waited for David for half an hour coz he thought that my lesson starts at 7.30pm. Night driving is kind of different.. coz you won't be able to see from the side mirrors whether are you in the lane coz the lighting of the street is not good. There aren't many street lamps like sg. I drove all the way on Oracle until the highway and i turn left.. then i saw Pima Downtown Campus and University of Arizona. Wow.. drove for about 1 and a half hours wor.. haven't drive for so long before.

//140405
Yeah.. me going to get my driving license tomorrow morning. David gave me the paperwork necessary to take a license at DMV.. there's no more paperwork to be done. *yeah* After driving, came home, had lunch and took a bath.. then went Ross (bought a white skirt - 23bucks) and Hallmark. The white skirt is not branded but don't know why it's so ex.. saw a Tommy Hilfiger skirt and it only costs 2 bucks more. *haha* Didn't buy it coz it doesn't have my size.. it's kinda too big for me since it's size 2. Bought a card and a christian book from Hallmark.. today again spent more than 35bucks (i only spent 22bucks).. so we can have another free gift. But we forgot to bring the coupon along so i'm going to redeem the free gift either tomorrow or during the weekends. Going to sleep soon coz have to wake up early to go DMV tml so that i can get home early and go out with dear *smile*.. daddy said leaving at 7.30am which means i have to wake up at 6.30am. *haiz* Oh ya, saw Damien's blog and knew that he saw the new blogskin that i changed for him. *hehe* Damien, no need to thank me.. no problem one.. glad that you like that design. *smile* Ok everyone, goodnight and sweet dreams. *yawn*

.:: Back aching.. getting old ::.

2005-04-11T21:40:00.000-07:00

I broke my record of sitting in front of the computer since i came here. I was online since i wake up till now.. except for lunch and dinner breaks. I've been searching for blogskins for 80% of the time. Mum found one that she like, and i helped her change her blogskin. I really like the Heroic Rendezvous characters.. there's a shop in Wisma and i went there twice. The things over there are quite ex.. i bought a set of 10 bookmarks for $16.. i didn't buy the t-shirt coz they are selling it at a minimum of 60 bucks. That's really expensive for something that is not really a branded item. Have been looking for blogskins for the whole day but i still can't find one that i really like except for the black one that i wanted to change for Damien's blog. Damien, do you mind having the same blogskin as mine? *hahah* Just joking! Wah.. my back really pain wor.. after sitting in front of the computer for so long. I'm really getting old.. oh nooo... hahah..

Below is something which i found on the web and i wanted to dedicate it to my dear.. [^_^]

In life, there are very rare changes that you'll meet someone you love AND love you in return.
So, once you have found it, don't ever let it go.
True love only comes once in a lifetime, so take it as it goes and enjoy every bit of it while it is still burning strong.
A PERSON like you is a gift; that paints a smile in my HEART that will stay in me not for a while but for a [ LIFETIME ]
If time never stand still, i'll never leave your side.
It maybe too hard for me at times that you will see of, but in my HEART, you'll always be FOUND.
Love can make you happy although often it hurts.
BUT love is special if you give it what it's worth.
LOVE is not wondering how long it'll last BUT how beautiful you can make it GROW.
LOVE is a gift; not an obligation, follow your HEART and always trust the person you LOVE.
Walk with me; when your HEART needs company, take my hands; when you feel all alone, turn to me; when you need someone to lean on, i'll always be there...
If you wake up one day and were to ask to have a wish, what would it be?
Mine would be that our relationship would last until you see an apple in an orange tree.
Life is not a rehersal, we live only once.
It is not by chance nor coincidence, it is predestined that we meet; therefore I treasure you alot.

I Love You.. Muacks.

2005-04-10T21:47:00.000-07:00

I haven't been blogging for the past 2 days.. actually wanted to blog yesterday but daddy used the comp to book the hotel rooms until so late so i didn't had the chance to blog. The hotel charges for a one week stay is about 500plus. It's really ex staying in hotels here. Ok, i'm going to start blogging for the missed entries now.

//080405
Didn't go out with dear today coz went DM with my parents. My mum needs to go for her medical appointment @1.50pm. We went to Yokohama Rice Bowl for lunch and i had Teriyaki Chicken Bowl instead of Salmon Bowl this time. After that, we went DM and waited for very long.. once for the doctor and another time for the medicine. Chatted with dear while my parents went in to see the doctor. Then, while walking to the Pharmacy.. the reception got cut off so can't chat with dear anymore. After collecting the medicine, we went to PX(AAFES) and i bought a Cross pen from there.. here really cheaper than sg, it only costs $11.50. The parker pen that i bought from Popular costs 30plus.. hahah.. must ask my brother to buy one and bring home. Daddy bought a blue LizClaiborne handbag for me and Gina. We had exactly the same design. [^_^] Hope Gina will like it too. Daddy also bought another one for mum.. it's exactly the same color but of different design from us. LizClaiborne is quite ex in sg but i think it's not considered branded here.. coz it doesn't cost alot. Maybe it's made in here so didn't have import taxes. I went to the shop at Wisma and a normal T-shirt can cost you about 60plus. Ex right? *hahah* The handbags over here are only 20plus.. even if convert to sg dollars, it would only cost 30-40plus. It's really worth it to buy it here. After shopping at Px, we went to the Comissary to do our weekly marketing. Following that, we went to Cheng's New Peiking for dinner. The food there really not bad.. this is our 2nd visit there. [^_^]

//090405
I'm supposed to get my driving license today.. haiz.. David had something on last minute so my today's lesson is cancelled and change to this coming Thursday @ 12noon. After lunch, mum suggested that we go Main Gate Square which is located west of the main entrance so i didn't had the chance to change my blogskin. We parked outside University of Arizona.. on the way to U of A, i bought a Mexican card from a souvenior shop near the junction of Speedway Blvd and Cherry Street. My mum bought some black and white historical postcards and a handmade bookmark from there. While we were in U of A, we took lots of photos. *yeah* Then i can make scrapbook pages out of them. U of A really huge.. each faculty had its own buildings. I saw the faculty of psychology. Wanted to study there but that's impossible.. it's only a dream. Never mind, my dear will be studying there soon. Let him experience the life there and tell him stories next time. After walking for about 25mins, we decided to stop searching for Main Gate Square and went back to our car. Then, on the way back home.. i told dad that i saw a shopping area while on the way to DM yesterday. Since it's only 5plus, daddy agreed to bring us there. The open-air village center is known as LaEncantada, located at Skyline Drive and Campbell Avenue.. from the name, we can guess that it's a premier shopping destination with upscale shops. Yeps, that's right. LaEncantada offers an upscale experience in an enchanting outdoor atmosphere. The shops there are like those at Wisma and Takashimaya in Singapore. I would never miss the chance to go there again. Mum bought a long-sleve top from Lucy.. the service there is really good. Though the top doesn't cost more than 10bucks but they still wrap it up and put in a paperbag. This reminds me of Mango in Singapore where a top would at least cost 50bucks. But when there's a sale, they wouldn't have such a wrapping service. Here is really different wor. [^_^]

//100405
Didn't go church today coz daddy needs to go back to work. Dear did asked us whether we wanted a lift from him but daddy said going to church is a family affair. So if he didn't go, then we also don't go. But if he would to go to work next week again, then i guess i will still go to church. Coz i don't like the idea of missing church and i don't want to make it a habit not to go church and as time goes by, we would give excuses not to go. I've experienced it before and i don't want it to happen again. Once you don't go church once, twice and thrice.. it's really hard to bring yourself to church again. It's so real! Believe me.. Ok, talking about lunch.. i had spaghetti again.. this time it really tastes not bad.. not too sweet and salty.. it just tastes just nice. [^_^] Sometimes, i really miss the D.I.Y spaghetti from Sketches @ Bugis Junction. Guess i will go there and eat when i'm back home.

After lunch, bathe and then came online for a short while to chat with dear as well as to look for blogskins but still haven't really decide which one to use yet. I will change my blogskin tomorrow since i won't be going out so i will have the whole day to work on it. At about 5pm, we went to Walmart coz mummy wanted to buy a bookshelf to put all my scrapbooking stuffs. Bought a black one and my dad just assembled it.. haven't take a look at it yet. I guess it's not bad looking. *hahah* Actually wanted to buy an identical one as the one at my home but it's out of stock. Other than the bookshelf, we also bought a dvd and some groceries. After shopping, we went back home and daddy cooked chicken curry for our dinner. Then, me bathe and came online until now. Ok, got to end it already. Now, going to read dear's blog.. haven't been reading his past 3 day entries. After that, then me going to bed.. feeling quite tired now.. Good night!

.:: First prayer meeting ::.

2005-04-07T21:52:00.000-07:00

I've realized something new today. Sometimes i should just shut-up my mouth and not talk about other people.. coz in the end, i will cause upset among those that i don't intend to hurt. I really don't know what should i keep to myself and what are those that can be told to others. So, i will just keep everything to myself in future. Ok, that's about all.. i will start blogging about my today's events.

This morning woke up early.. had my breakfast and bath.. then went to Aunt Michelle's house for prayer meeting at 10.30am. We shared a little on how we get to know Jesus Christ. Actually, Wayne asked me to go to church a few times but daddy doesn't allow us to go to his church coz it's too far away. Mum and i only went to the church @ Yishun a couple of months later. Initially, my brother joined the youth session but then after a few months, he stopped going.. maybe of something got to do with Gina. Ok, let's get back to the prayer meeting.. the topic is becoming a woman of excellence according to God's criteria. The homework for today is the whole of chapter1. This prayer meeting will be held fortnightly and from the next lesson onwards, it will be held on Friday instead of Thursday. Told dear about it, then he said if he waits until 12noon, then he got no mood, then we won't be going out for that week. Never mind, dear's mood can't be controlled by me so i will take things one at a step. I will see how things go.. and take it when it arrives.

After prayer meeting, I went home for lunch then for my driving lesson at 1pm. Today, David brought me to the park @ Magee to learn parking and backing. He told me to bring along my military id and permit on sat.. *yeah* I'm going to get my license soon. [^_^] Ok, after the lesson, went back home and then helped Damien with his blog but then there's some problems encountered. Didn't managed to resolve the problem so didn't made any changes to it at the moment. Coz mummy and i were in a rush of time to go out. Maybe i'll do up his blog this weekend.

We went to Target and i bought a purple organizer for myself there. I bought lots of books today.. books on glass painting, dreams and of course, storybooks too. [^_^] Hmm, spent about 50bucks today. But never mind, i'll be getting my allowance this coming sat again. Hmm.. we will be going to LA at the end of this month.. probably on the 23rd and will be back by the 2nd of May. It's only about two weeks from now.. i really need to save up or else me wouldn't be able to buy things from there.. coz heard that the things over there are not that cheap.

.:: New lyrics blog ::.

2005-04-06T22:05:00.000-07:00

Today spent the whole afternoon with my dear. Really really happy today. *smile* [^_^] It's always enjoyable with dear by my side.. no matter where we are or what we are doing. We set up a new blog for our favourite songs' lyrics together just now.. chose a blogskin and posted our first entry. But we still haven't finish doing up that blog yet.. still have to edit the particulars and put up the tagboard and links. I also wanted to change the outlook for this blog but i still can't find one that i like.. so i'm still sticking with this design for the time being. Dear really got lots of upcoming exams.. felt kind of stressed for him too. *haiz* Hope that all his exams will be over soon.. then he will have a short break and don't have to worry about exam results for that period of time before summer semester begins. Dear, "Jia You" wor.. all the best for your engineering paper tomorrow. As for myself, i'm going for my 5th driving lesson at 1pm.. i'm really afraid that David will ask me to go I-10 where i've to speed up to 75mph.. it's really frightening.. at the fastest, i've only driven 65mph.. and i'm already quite scared at that time to travel so fast. Oh no.. hope that tml he will teach me parking instead. *hahah* But nevertheless, i still have to go to highway one day so i will try to be calm and pray for a safe and smooth journey.

Today's driving is not bad.. i kind of enjoyed the lesson. [^_^] I learn to make u-turns and the procedures necessary to follow when making lane changes. The lesson is mostly on changing from left lanes to right lanes and vice-versa. *hehe* It's really not that difficult to change lanes after all. [^_^] 45mins really passes very fast.. soon, it's already time for me to go home for lunch. After lunch, me did up a little more of cross-stitch and arranged those photos that dear and me took on our 1st mth anniversary using photoshop. Then went Target to develop the photos but then the one that i designed didn't print out well.. haiz.. never mind, i'm going to make it smaller and develop it again. Hey, the prints are much cheaper now.. 20cents instead of 25 cents per piece wor. hehe.. not bad.. [*_*] Other than Target, i also went to Pier1 Imports and bought tealight candles, small crane box and a cushion.

Now, i'm going to blog something interesting that i've read in a book. Nobody wants to be lonely..

Why is having someone special so important to us human beings? Not just for companionship, for safety, or for convenience, but because we have a need to express ourselves emotionally and intellectually, we all need someone we can trust to talk to, share our experiences, and bounce our ideas off. We want someone with whom we can share life's pleasures and, most important, someone to give us feedback - to respond to what we say and let us know how we're doing. We need someone to witness us, validate us, make us feel complete.

When two people communicate openly and regularly, expressing their feelings and emotions, they give each other reassurance & hope and a connection to the future. We find all of this and more when we express ourselves in love. Scientists have proof that the emotional feedback shared between two people in love balances, regulates, and influences their vital body rhythms and keeps them healthy. Heart rate, blood pleasure, hormone balance, and blood sugar absorption all are improved when two people become emotionally united in love. In other words, that old expression "They've got real chemistry" isn't merely a metaphor. People in love don't just come alive, they tend to stay alive and live richer, healthier, more exciting, and longer lives.

I've been looking and shifting my 3 pots of plants this whole morning. I'm really not good at growing flowers.. maybe coz lack of patience.. i wanted to see the lilies bloom but after a day of watering and sunshine.. they still didn't bloom. *haiz* Then, i don't want to bother about them anymore and went inside my home and trim my hair again. This time, i trim my fringe till quite short.. hehe.. i like it when i have short fringe.. looks kinda cute on me. *opps* I didn't say that i'm cute.. i'm not actually. Following that, i went to cook green agar-agar which i brought from sg.. it's been a long time since i last cooked agar-agar. I think i asked Damien to bring back home some when i last cooked. It was months ago already.. time really flies.. I've already spent 3 months in Tucson. I still had the feeling that i just came here not long ago. *hahah* Didn't do anything significant today other than the trimming of my hair.. other than that, i did a little of cross-stitch which my mum bought a few weeks back.. and some paper stars to fill up the bottle which i've drawn but then still not enough to fill the whole bottle. *haiz* Maybe i'm not going to fill it up with stars.. don't know.. still haven't decide yet.

Actually dear wanted to come over today but he didn't in the end due to one reason or another. I'm really worried for dear's calculus paper tml coz he said he didn't really understand that chapter.. moreover, he just started studying a few hrs back. Oh noo.. I hope that he can understand and know how to do those questions tested by tml. Mum cooked dinner late.. at about 7pm so i really didn't know it's already 8plus until dear called me to ask why am i not online yet. Dear, i'm sorry.. i really didn't mean to make you wait for so long.. and make you so sad and disappointed. Right now, i'm chatting with dear and i'm going to go offline soon.. coz of the same reason.. mummy needs to blog her share. *hahah* I also need to go to bed soon.. coz i've got a driving lesson at 11am tml morning.

Dear Father, I pray that you will give dear guidance for those questions that he had difficulty in doing during his calculus exam and that he will be able to score well for this paper. I also pray that dear will have the motivation to study for his remaining exams and most importantly that he will not feel sad always. I hope that he will be happy in everything that he does and not always complain about what life has to offer for him. Lastly, as for my tomorrow's driving lesson.. it'll be my fourth lesson and i pray that everything will go on smoothly as usual and that i'll have a safe journey. Thank you Father. In all these i pray in Jesus most precious name, Amen.

.:: Getting close to God ::.

2005-04-03T20:42:00.000-07:00

Attended church service as usual today. While listening to Pastor Bruce telling us about drawing near to Jesus in the last part, i suddenly realize that i've been to church for more than a year already but i'm still not close to God. I felt sad at that juncture and knew that it's my fault. Initially i was really enthusiastic about reading and knowing God's words but that kind of enthusiasm had kind of die off as months pass by. Maybe it's due to my busy schedule of poly life with lots of projects and homeworks to do.. following that is my busy working life. Then as time passes by, i didn't read my bible anymore except during sunday services. Since my dad came back from Virgina, mum and i had stopped going to church.. giving the excuse that we had to pack our boxes and luggages. Until we came here, then we started going to church once again.. with my dad going with us this time. Initially, heard from Christopher that he don't really like this church and my opinion of it is not too good either after hearing from him and didn't feel like going too. But then dad says we will go there and take a look and see how it goes.. told me that we are not comfortable with this church then we can change another one.. but we must at least go there and experience it before we make any comments. I really didn't regret my choice of listening to my dad.. i kind of like this church the first time i went there. Thereafter, dear also came to church with me. I'm really glad that i'm being brought back to church once again. Now, i've started reading the Children's bible to get to know about the summary of the whole bible. Hope that i will be able to get closer to God and accept Christ into my life one day. But first and foremost, i have to discipline myself to read God's words, the Bible, daily and learn to put my trust and faith in Him in whatever i do.

After church, actually wanted to go Crocket Barrel for lunch but then daddy can't find it. On the way to Thornydale road, i saw a blue Dodge Neon car on I-10.. thought it's dear car though it's not quite possible that dear will travel on I-10 back home. Both our cars exited the freeway at the same exit, then at the traffic light.. i realised that it's a middle-age guy driver.. not dear. Talking about lunch, we went to "Jerry Bobs".. i had a plate of Filet of Catfish with fries and 2 mashed potatoes. It's really very filling and I was like "Oh no, we really need to exercise while shopping at Basha's later" *hahah* [*_*] Then while walking to Basha's, i saw Pictures-N-Pages and went in to take a look. In the end, i sign up for its membership program and bought lots of scrapbooking stuffs from there. [^_^] I spent about 20bucks there including the membership fees which i spilt half with my mum. Hmm, not too bad right? Dear, i didn't spent like 50bucks. *hahah* Ok, after that, we went to buy groceries at Basha's and i helped my dad to sign up for the Basha's card. The things over there doesn't seem cheaper to me as compared to other supermarkets. Following that, we went to Target and i bought a pot of Maple Leaf plant while mum bought a pot of Lilies. [^_^] They were really nice!

Came home, then watch a chinese movie staring Andy Lau and Sammi Cheng. Hmm, i can't remember the title of that show. Anyway, it's a so-so movie only.. not really that nice. While watching that dvd, dad cooked chicken curry and mum and i watched while eating. Then, after finished the movie, went to bathe and i'm online chatting with dear and blogging till now.. 10pm already. Got to go soon.. coz mummy wanna use the comp to blog later. Bye everyone!

2005-04-02T20:46:00.000-07:00

Ok, i'm back to blogging once again after such a long long time. It started off me being sick and have to sleep early so didn't come online. As time goes by and when i'm well again after a week or so, i'm just too lazy to blog. That's why there are so many missing entries on my page. But, from today onwards, i will discipline myself to get back to my routine of blogging daily so as not to disappoint those who comes here. [^_^]

I bought lots of stuffs today. Shopped at Ross and Target and spent about 60bucks today. Wow! That's alot right but i haven't been shopping for quite sometime. So it's still forgivable. *haha* I bought a white Guess handbag and two pairs of footwear (one pink half covered shoes and another white slip-ons which is like 9cm high). *haha* That's y i spent so much.. luckily i controlled myself not to buy any clothes today. Or else the damage will be worst. [^_^]

Went for my third driving lesson. Today's lesson is mostly on left turns. I'm kinda afraid to do left turns coz there are just so many things to take note.. traffic lights, cars, etc. It's much easier to do a right turn. *haha* David, the instructor, asked me whether i've been driving my dad's car. I told him nope and he asked why i haven't been doing so. He said i should practise and drive frequently. *Opps!* But i'm just afraid that i might destroy my dad's car.

//010405
This morning went to Walmart with dear to collect his vacation photos and bought all those stuffs that were instructed by our mums. Seems that we are out shopping for groceries instead of outing. *haha* We spent most of our time in Walmart.. then went to Foothills and look for dear's bag but to no avail. Then when it's quite late already, dear drove us back to my home for lunch. But before that, dear wanted to go home and take the Javascript cd to my home and explore it together. But then after searching for a while, he still can't find it so never mind. On the way out, dear brought a coconut to my home to drink. Wow, dear really can open it within 2 minutes.. seeing him cut open it is like so easy but don't know why my daddy had so much difficulty in opening that time. *hahah* Told dear that if i wanted to drink coconut juice, i will ask him to come over and open it for me. [*_*] Just joking! Hmm, had pasta for lunch.. i helped to cook the spaghetti and dear helped to stir the pasta sauce which my mum had cooked before we came home. It's nice and filling though it's abit salty and sweet. *Opps!* I didn't mean to criticize. After lunch, the 3 of us did something unbelievable. We trim our hair. [*_*] It's the truth! We really trim our hair in my mum's room. Don't get me wrong. Dear and me trim our fringe and as for mum and i, we trim the shape of our hair into a V-shape. Hmm, the results not that bad after all.. [^_^] Right dear? *hahah*

After that, dear drove us to Target and shopped with us for a little while. Mum bought a pair of slippers with the same design as mine except for the color. Mine is white and hers is black. Hmm, i'm still not sure if mum will wear it coz the slipper is like 9cm tall. *hahah* Apart from the slippers, mum also bought some scrapbooking stuffs. Later, dear have to top up his fuel and go back home to study. So, mum and i went to see flowers and bought a pot of.. can't remember the name of that plant.. but it has orange petals. After that, we went back home. When i reached Rockridge, i received dear's call and chatted with him.. i even pass by his home and saw him at his bedroom window. *hahah* Then, reached home and still continue chatting with dear until it's time for dinner. I'm really contented and happy today.. really really happy today though we only went out for a short period of time. Dear also share the same sentiments. [^_^]

//020405
Last night slept at about 10.20pm, then woke up at 2am. Don't know why suddenly thought of dear and miss him alot at that juncture. Then i went back to sleep and slept till 8am this morning. Had my breakfast and came online to blog. *haha* Finally, i start to blog again. After that, had lunch and then watch vcds till dinner time. At last, mum and i managed to finished that taiwan drama starring Ken Chu. Hmm, i've learnt something from the show.. Men really can't resist temptation.. even though they knew that they can't like that girl but they still do in the end. Me really afraid though i've got trust in dear. I'm really scared that dear will fall into the beauty trap of another girl one day. In that drama, i've seen something which i've never encounter before. The father can fall in love with his son's gf.. though he know he can't do it.. but then he still snatch his son's gf. *hahah* Imagine your gf suddenly becomes your step-mom overnight. *eeeeeee* If i were the one involved, i sure cannot take it. Chatting with dear now.. but i have to hand the computer over to my mum at 9pm. Haiz. But never mind, tml morning can see dear in church.

Today, i went for my first driving lesson. It was fun and it's not as scary as what i thought it would be to drive on the road. *haha* Guess what the instructor (David) asked when i opened my door? He asked who is going to learn driving from him? I raised up my right hand and said i'm the one. He was like "huh? how old are you? Can i see your instructor's permit". *haha* Told him that i'll be turing 21 this coming July. Then he told mum and me that i don't look like i'm 20. *hahah*

Then we proceeded to his car and we chatted quite alot. He asked if i'm introduced to him by Aunt Juliet and Christopher. Wah! So smart of him. He asked if i had driven before and wanted to test my driving skills. He drove all the way to Linda Vista and drop me off the road and asked me to take over the wheel. This happened exactly the same as what dear had told me. I travelled all the way to the dead end of the road and made a u-turn.. then along the way, i passed by a school zone and some roads with constructions going on. I think i pass by Magee, Lambert Lane as well as Oracle Road. It's been a long drive.. drove for about 40mins non-stop until i reached home. *haha* I didn't even realized that i'm able to drive on roads with traffic lights and made left and right turns with so many vehicles on the road. *haha* My first lesson is not bad wor. I really agrees with David that the 38bucks is really not wasted. I've learnt lots of things from him and that i've also gain the confidence to drive on the road. Thanks for your luck, Rachel. *wink* Hope that tml's lesson will go on smoothly like today's and that it will be as enjoyable and fun. *grin*

As u all can see, i haven't been blogging these days. *haha* I'm getting lazier. Ok, now i'm going to compensate the lost entries. I'll start blogging about Monday (14th March) events. Hmm, i watched vcds (Japanese drama which stars Hideaki Takizawa & 藤木直人), then went shopping that day.. went Target to develop the photos that dear and me took at Park Place last friday. Then while waiting for the photos to be ready, mum and i went shopping at Target. Bought lots of things.. light blue wrapping paper to make hearts, Neutrogena facial cleanser, candles, shower gel, wet wipes and scrapbooking stuffs (stickers, gift tags & colored papers). After that, we went to Ross. I bought 2 tops from there.. a grey Tommy Hilfiger and another pink roxy t-shirt. But after i came back home, i changed my mind and wanted to exchange them the next day for a pink Ralph Lauren polo-t. Then, after dinner started scrapbooking for the photos which i just developed. Waited for dear to call.. then when it was 11+pm, i was wondering y dear didn't call.. thought that he haven't reach hotel yet or that he slept already. Haiz. Who knows that dear is waiting for me to be online since 8pm. Omg! Dear, sorry leh.. i didn't know that you are online. I'm waiting for you to call and you are waiting for me to be online. *haiyoh*

Yesterday (15th March), I went Ross to return the two t-shirts, then went Albertsons to buy straws. In the end, me also bought other stuffs but not too bad.. only spent about 11bucks which includes a lip moisturizer. *haha* While on the way to Fry's, mum and i were caught by the police for crossing the road dangerously. Luckily, he didn't take down our particulars. He only told us to use the crosswalk the next time coz crossing the road this way is very dangerous. *heng ar* Went Fry's and bought some groceries before proceeding to Ross. Wanted to find that bright pink polo-t but then size S is no longer there.. only left with size M. *haiz* So in the end, i didn't buy anything from there. Anyway, it's also a good thing since i get to save some money. *haha* After that, we went Target coz Aunt Isabelle told us that there's 75% discount over there. I bought some gifts for my friends in sg and some cheap scrapbooking stuffs. Didn't buy any candles coz the ones that we wanted are not on sale. By the time we finished shopping, it's already 6.45pm. Wah! It's so late! Not long after we reached home, daddy came back. Luckily, we reached home earlier than daddy or else we sure going to get scolding from him. After dinner, i continued with my scrapbooking again. Dear called me at about 10.30pm while he was at Walmart.. it's actually only 9.30pm over there coz there's an hour difference between LA and Tucson.

Ok, as for today (16th March).. i didn't go out the whole day. Have been scrapbooking the whole afternoon. Finished 2 pages on Park Place and now doing another page for the photos that dear and me first taken at my place. While looking at the photos, i realized that time really flies.. known dear for more than 2 months already. *haha* Oh ya, Aunt Isabelle and her family came to our place tonight. She gave us some curry puffs that she made herself. *hehe* Really nice wor. Thanks Aunt! *wink* Chatted with Rachel and her brother about lots of things.. *haha* We had a good laugh too. Dear wouldn't be online for the next few days till he's back in Tucson coz internet connection in the LA hotel that he's staying needs to pay $$. Really miss dear wor.. but never mind, only left with 3 more days. Dear and his family coming back this saturday. *yeah* *smile* Dear told me that he bought something from Disneyland for me today.. on monday, he also bought something for me.. only told me that it's pink in color. Can't wait to see what dear had bought for me. *hehe* Ok lar, me going to bed soon.. coz tml i'm going for my first driving lesson at 1pm. Pray that i'll not have any difficulty in driving and that it will be a smooth and safety ride tml.

.:: When we pray, God is glorified and we rejoice ::.

2005-03-13T23:07:00.000-07:00

This morning on the way out of RockRidge, saw that Uncle's mpv is not around.. knew that dear and his family had set off for flagstaff already. While i was listening to the sermon, i kept writing notes so i practically was writing during the whole sermon. Today's sermon is about looking to the reward in prayer.

Pastor Bruce kept highlighting to us that God is glorified when we look to him to supply our needs and that Jesus delights in giving us good things but He don't want "things" to have us. Our delight is to be in God and not in things. Created things that bless us are to be seen as gifts from God. To delight in anything and not in God is idolatry. We also have to wait on God to find our future partners, we can't do that on our own. To "wait" means to pause and soberly consider your own inadequacy and the Lord's all-sufficiency; then to seek our counsel and help from Him. Prayer is a constant reminder of our dependence on God. Prayer is also waiting on God. God is like a great doctor to us. When we go and see a doctor, we want the doctor to cure us. It's not that the doctor needs our help, it's the other way round. The same goes with God. God has no needs at all.
"Call upon Me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you shall glorify Me." (Psalm 50:15)
Call upon Me in the day of trouble : We depend on Him.
I will deliver you : He will help us and we get the joy.
You shall glorify Me : God is glorified.

After the sermon, we chatted abit with Aunt Isabelle.. she commented that the 3/4 grey pants that i bought from Target really suits me. *hehe* Thanks wor. I also like it very much. *smile*

After church, we went to Foothills for lunch. While eating, we saw Rachel and her family at the piano shop.. thought they are buying a piano but just heard from Rachel that she's thinking of signing up for piano lessons. Following that, we went to Walmart to do our weekly groceries shopping. Then on the way back home, daddy asked if i would like to drive on Linda Vista. He drove all the way to the dead end so as to confirm that the road is really straight. After he made a u-turn, he let me take over the wheels. Guess what? I drove bare-footed coz i was wearing high-heel shoes so can't drive while wearing them. Daddy's car is so huge that i can't even aim properly in the lane at first coz the double yellow lines on my left side is not touching the side of the windscreen.. maybe coz i adjusted the seat too front. So it's more difficult to aim. I can only estimate by making sure that i'm in the center of the lane. *hahah* I found out something good about daddy's car.. when i signal to turn left and after i turn, the signal will automatically turn off. Not bad wor.. no need for me to switch it back. *hahah*

Not long after i was home, dear called me and we chatted for a short while. Told me that he went to a chapel in Sedona, thought they went there to attend church service. *diao* He said they went there to take a look and they are going to Flagstaff. After we hung up, i went to make straw stars all the way till 10.45pm. Coz dear's online so stopped doing the stars. The bottle's going to be full soon, left with a few more stars to go. *hahah* Surprised right, dear? That's the bottle which you jumbled up the colors of the stars. I'm going to finish it by tonight. Fast right? *hahha* I was also surprised coz normally i would need at least 2 days to complete a bottle. Maybe coz i wanna distract myself from missing you bah. Tomorrow i'm going to occupy myself with scrapbooking stuffs. Will finish up the flagstaff pages first. Don't know if mum going out tml, if we are going out, then i can go and develop the photos that dear and me took last friday. Then can do up the scrapbook pages. If not, then never mind, can develop them later in the week.

Chatted with dear a little just now.. he went to take a bath already. Told me that he might be online later to do up his homework but he asked me to go to bed if i'm tired. After he log off just now, i dunno why but felt sad and kinda miss him already. *hahah* Sounds like i'm crazy right? Coz i just chatted with dear less than a minute ago and i can actually miss him. *hahah* Something is really not right with me. Ok bah, i'll end here for today and i'm going to read dear's blog.. then finish up the bottle.. then go and sleep. Good night and remember not to sleep too late dear, k? Coz u are still sick and i don't want you to be sicker. I wanna you to enjoy your trip and tell me stories about it when you are back. k? *wink*

.:: Dear going holiday for a week ::.

2005-03-12T22:06:00.000-07:00

Last night slept very late.. 2am. That's why this morning i woke up at 11+.. if not for my daddy's colleague coming over to collect something, i wouldn't have force myself to get out of bed. *haha* Didn't take breakfast as usual coz i woke up so late.. only had a cup of milk tea, then had porridge for lunch. The mini sausages really taste nice though it's a little salty. After lunch, mum and i watched the korean drama until dinner time. Then continue after dinner too. Finally, we managed to finish watching the whole show. The story is really nice, it's about a guy falling in love with a lady but then he had to supress his feelings for her as he's going to be a pastor. But after so many years and so many obstacles, he managed to become a pastor and also can openly love that lady as the father said that it's not a sin to love someone.

Haiz.. dear going on holiday for a week starting from tml. Won't be able to see him in church tml morning. Seems abit wierd coz dear would always be sitting next to me in church.. then can't see him so got abit of wierd feeling. But never mind, dear will be back in a week's time. Though i would be missing dear, but i would keep myself occupied with scrapbooking stuffs. Don't worry dear, will let you see my completed pages when you are back. I promise. *wink* Dear, must take lots of photos and must really enjoy your tour. It's your first tour with your parents. Don't miss me too much, k? *hahah* Ok, hope that there's internet connection in the hotel rooms so i can chit chat with you. But if don't have, then never mind.. we can always talk on the phone. *diao* Hahha.. Ok bah, me gonna end off here for today.. Have an enjoyable trip dear!

This morning, me woke up at 8.30am but then i lazed in bed till about 9am.. by then i know that i must really wake up as dear is coming over at 10am. Promised him that i'll be ready by 10am or else he'll spank me. *hahah* Then, me quickly brush my teeth, had my breakfast, then went to take a shower. In the end, i got ready by 10.10am.. but dear haven't reach my house yet. Mum said that maybe he's sick or that he haven't wake up. *hahah* At this juncture, dear knocked on my door.. and he's here! *hahah* Today is the only time when i get ready before he arrives. Then we leave at 10.30am just as i've expected.

We reached Park Place at about 12 noon with the help of a direction map that dear printed out. It's our first time there and the first impression is that it's quite grand. We went to Hallmark, Dillard's men section, then EyeMasters coz i wanted to buy a pair of nose pads for my spects. In the end, they gave it to me free. Wah! So good service wor.. give me free nose pads and also help me to clean my lenses. *hehe* After that, we made our way to Applebee's to have our lunch. We ordered bbq baby racks and bbq shrimps with lots of sides (mashed potatoes, bbq baked beans, fries, coleslaw, vegetables and garlic bread). It's alot right? It's really very filling.. took almost 2 hrs to finish up the food. *hahha* We eat the baby ribs until so tired. *cannot make it* Before we leave the restaurant, we took some photos.

After lunch, we went to Dillard's again, this time looking at the women's section. I saw lots of clothes on 75% discount but then didn't buy anything coz it's either there's none that i like or that they don't carry my size. *haiz* But never mind, i can save money this way. Right dear? *haha* Hmm, then we went to American Eagles Outfitters at about 4pm.. the clothes there not cheap wor. Actually me wanted to buy the blue skirt, but then even size0 is too big for me. *cannot make it* Then continued shopping.. went Origins, Forever21, Macy's and Old Navy. In the end, i only bought candles from Hallmark and facial cleanser & moisturizer from Origins. So in fact, i didn't really spend much money.. coz daddy is going to pay for those that i bought at Origins. *hahah*

Hmm, before we left, we bought a cup of peach smothies and took some photos. We sat at the sofa over there until 6pm. Then dear called Aunt Juilet to see if she had cook his dinner.. then aunt said he can have dinner at my place if he wants to. *yeah* So, dear drove me home and had dinner with mum and me. Guess what time dear stayed up to? Actually wanna go back at 9pm.. but then delayed until 10pm. Won't be seeing dear until a week later coz he's going on a holiday with his parents for the whole of next week. Dear, i'll miss you. But don't worry, one week will pass very fast one.. then when u come back, we can go out again. Right dear? *haha* Oh ya, thanks dear for the photo that u printed for me. Thanks alot. Will collect it from you when you are back.

Today went shopping again!! *diao* Actually promised dear that i will save money this week but ended spending so much today.. 70++ *haiz* Me felt really guilty and bad wor. Went Famous Footwear and bought a pair of white slip-on Polo Ralph Lauren shoes for 51bucks. That's where i spent most of my money today. After that, went to Pier1 Imports and bought 2 shotglasses (1.50 each) and a set of incense. Guess what happens there? I broke a bottle which comes in a set of 2. I broke one of them and cause the manager to sweep the floor. Really sorry about it. He's really a good guy, didn't expect me to pay for it but instead was very concerned about me. He kept asking me if i got cut myself and if i'm alright. Ok, our last stop is Target. Bought some really cheap scrapbooking materials which are on clearance. *hehe* Luckily i didn't buy them that day. Or else me really at a losing end.. coz today then got sale. Ok lar, me end here bah.. looking forward to dear coming over tml to do his history exam questions.. then aunt isabelle coming over to deliver something for us to eat too.. rachel said maybe she's coming over. *yeah* Tml i can really save money le.. *hehe* Confirm not going shopping since they are coming over. *hahha*

Haven't been blogging for the past 3 days already.. so i'm going to combine everything into one entry. Ok, let me start with Saturday's event. Hmm.. let me recall. Went to the library after lunch.. then it's raining cats and dogs.. so waited for awhile then left home. Didn't borrow any storybooks today. *hahah* Borrowed many crafts books so that i'm able to try them out when i have the time. It's my hobby to learn new crafts thingy. Actually, i wanted to borrow books on scrapbooking but all of them are on loan. *haiz* Never mind, will borrow them another day. After library, we went to Barns and Noble coz daddy wanted to buy a huge US map. In the end, i bought scrapbooking papers, a photo box and a book on techniques of scrapbooking. After that, went home and dear came over to pass us the tapioca kueh and pork slices that tastes abit like bak kut teh. They are really very nice wor. Thanks Aunt Juliet! *wink*

Hmm, as for Sunday.. Actually my dad wanted to go Mount Lemmon but then i decided to go church. One reason is that it's not good to be absent from church. And another reason is that i'm able to see dear in church. *haha* Luckily i chose church over Mount Lemmon coz dear went there alone since Aunt Juliet went to donate blood and Uncle Solomon went to repair dear's car. If we didn't go church, dear would have to listen to the sermon alone. After church, we went to Foothills for lunch.. dear drove his dad's car and followed us there. We ate Tepan grill at the foodcourt.. then the Teriyaki Pork bowl is like so salty.. can u imagine 50% of the rice is soaked in the soy sauce. Eeee.. that's why i didn't finished it. *hahah* Then daddy's face is like black black one.. dear thought that daddy don't like the idea of him joining us. But then when mum asked dad during dinner, daddy said he's sick so don't feel like talking the whole day and that he's not in a bad mood.. he said if he don't like dear to join us, then he wouldn't have buy him lunch. So dear, don't worry.. daddy is not angry with you. *haha*

After that, came home for a while, then actually wanted to try and drive on Tangerine Road but then decided to go shopping @ Art Festival booths outside Target instead. *hahah* Spent about 80bucks today. *haiz* Really need to save liao. Hmm, i bought 2 hand painted bottles.. a pair of earrings.. scrapbook and scrapbooking stuffs at Target.. a pair of 3/4 grey pants.. a set of scrapbooking materials from Fry's. We shop until about 5pm then daddy called and asked if we are ready to go home so that he can drive us back. Wah.. time really pass very fast when we are shopping. In the end, we can't go to Lambert park.. *ahhah* I told dear that i might be going to the park, then i didn't go.. but dear told me that he won't be going coz he needs to study for his Psychology paper, then he went instead. *hahha*

Finally, i'm going to blog for today. *hahah* Went to Hallmark this afternoon at about 3.10pm.. then went to Fry's to buy cookies and cake. Dear, i really kept to my word.. didn't spend a single cent today. Coz mum said no need to return her the money spent coz it's only 2bucks. *hahah* In other words, i didn't spend at all. While i was in hallmark, dear called me and chatted with me for very very long until he reached home. The saleswoman at hallmark like not quite happy coz maybe i chatted until so long and haven't pay for my stuffs yet. But who cares? *hahah* Me really happy today.. coz dear drove us back home just now.. then i also can get to see dear. Ok lar, me got to end here already.. it's too long liao. *hahah*

Went to Pima College with dear this morning at about 11am. Went to the international students office to make some enquiries. Really glad that i do not need to show a bank statement that i got 17k.. i'm really happy that i can study. After that, i went with dear to witness his competition for his engineering project. Waited for it to start for 30mins.. then after less than half an hour, they are dismissed. *haha* Then, we went to search for "English Gardens" florist @ broadway.. wow.. we drove past a few high rise buildings in downtown tucson.. it's my first time seeing tall buildings in Tucson. We even saw JC Penny, Dillards and Target.. but don't know the name of the shopping centre. *hehe* Next time can go there when we have run out of shopping centres to go. Finally, we found the florist after driving so long on the road.. guess what? The lady gave me a bouquet of flowers with two roses free of charge wor. *hehe* Really happy and wanted to let my mum know about it but i called home a few times and the line was engaged until i reached home. Then, i realised that my mum is talking to Aunt Isabelle for almost 2hrs.

Reached home at about 2.45pm.. was very hungry that i ate the whole plate of fried rice. It's really very nice. Then heard from my mum that Aunt Isabelle looking for me and asked whether wanted to go shopping with her. So i called Aunt Isabelle and told her that mum and i will be going Tucson Mall with her. Immediately after that, i called dear and told him that i'll be going shopping so can't spend the day with him. Then i asked if he wanted to follow us shopping but now i regretted asking dear. Coz i made him sad and made everyone sad. It's all my fault.. i shouldn't have asked dear.. i should only let him know that i'm going shopping. Dear, i know you told me that i'm not at fault but i can't help blamming myself for your illness coming back.. letting you suffer having breathing difficulties. I'm really afraid that you might faint when you left my house coz i saw your face and that you are really sick. Thank God that you are safe and sound. Sometimes i'm really mad with my mum for misunderstanding things that we told her.. haiz. I told my mum that dear will be joining us for shopping in the sense that he will shop with us, not that i will go shopping with him alone. Another thing is that dear volunteered to drive us back if Aunt Isabelle wanted to carry on shopping with her children as mum needs to go home and cook dinner. I'm not implying that we are going to leave Aunt Isabelle behind and take Chris' car back. I think mum is abit sensitive.. maybe i'm too naive. I dunno.. but i think that there's no problem in letting dear join us in our shopping trip as long as i call and tell Aunt Isabelle. I don't think aunt will not allow him to tag along.. moreover, dear called and told Aunt Juliet that he will be going shopping with us and that she agreed. Never mind, everything is over and that i'm not angry already.

Hmm, Aunt Isabelle came to our home and stayed for a short while. Then we went to Robinsons.May, Forever21 and lastly Dillards. Bought two tops (Guess & Kenneth Cole), two cardigans (pink one from forever21) and a pair of high-heel shoes. Dillards really had 75% discount.. really worth buying those branded stuffs. After buying so many things, i only spent 38bucks, can u believe it? *hahah* Cheap right? Ok lar, me blog too much already.. going to bed liao.. very tired after a whole day out. Bye~~

This morning heard that Andrew booked the to and fro air tickets to LA already.. he'll be arriving on 20th April.. tentatively going back on the 21st of May. *yeah* He's finally coming over to enjoy.. by then, we can go disneyland, LV, Holywood Studios, etc... I'm really happy coz i can get to travel to different parts of America soon.

Hmm, actually wanted to do scrapbooking this afternoon but then watched vcds for the whole day. *hahha* Still can't finish watching the korean drama. Someone came to deliver a vase of flowers to our neighbour upstairs but they are not at home. So that person asked us to pass the vase to our neighbour when they are back. *heheh* We got the "Good Neighbour" card and she told us that we would be able to get free flowers when we visit the shop the next time.

After dinner, me went to search for the design template for the photo which i took with dear. Haiz.. still can't find one that i like. Never mind, will continue looking for it tml. Then, went online and chatted with dear till now. Hmm, went to Pima website and realize that they need to have a bank statement to show that i've got US17k as one of the entrance requirements for international student. But i'm not too sure about part-time students and that if i got an A2 visa, do i still need to show them that i've got this amount. Will check with the office at West Campus tml morning. If there's a need for that requirement, then i can't study here already. Never mind, it's alright.. since i'm only studying the short courses so as to gain knowledge as well as to pass time. Anyway, my plan is to go back sg and study for a degree.. another thing is that i'll be studying those short courses in sg again.. so it's like i'm studying the same modules twice. Initially, my intention to study those modules here is that i wanted to score better results when i study them again in sg.. in this way, i'm more confident of getting A's for those modules in sg uni.

But if everything doesn't work out, then it's alright for me. I can always use my 22 months left in Tucson to enjoy my life and do shopping.. when i go back sg, i won't be able to enjoy myself until i'm older.. coz i need to study, then work until i've earn enough. *haiz* Still got a long way to go. So, i'll not be sad if i can't study here but i will look on the bright side instead. I don't have to bother what others will say about me.. they have got the right to say whatever they want and i've got the right not to bother about them. This is my character.. i don't care people's opinions.. i do what i think is right. Wah.. now is nearly 12.20am, i'm going to bed soon coz tml meeting dear to go school at 10.30.. will have to wake up by 9am.

.:: Good Luck ::.

2005-03-02T22:54:00.000-07:00

I'm going to blog about yesterday first as i didn't go online last night. Hmm, where did i go yesterday? Mum and i went to Hallmark and bought really cheap discounted stuffs. *hahha* Really very value for money.. imagine a pink ty monkey costs only $1. *hahahah* Never expected it right? Hmm, later went to target and i bought lots of scrapbooking stuffs. Spent the most money there coz i bought a book on scrapbooking there for $15. After that, actually wanted to buy a pair of pink converse shoes from Famous Footwear but they don't have my size so i ended up saving 30bucks. *hahah* Chatted with dear all the way from Target to Rockridge until i saw him. Me chatted until my Samsung hp got no more batt so got no choice but to change the sim card over to my Sony Ericson hp. Oh ya, i've book my driving lessons to be on the 17th, 18th and 23rd March. The first two dates is at 1pm and on the 23rd is at 9am lessons. Each lesson is 45mins and costs 38bucks.

Ok, as for today.. woke up at about 8.30am, then had breakfast and watched A-do mtvs. Long time didn't hear his songs already.. they are really very nice. After lunch, we went to DM to collect my mum's medicines as well as to buy groceries for the week. Actually Aunt Isabelle wanted to bring mum and i to Michaels and Jo-Ann coz there's a 50% discount on selected scrapbook thingy. Haiz. But my daddy's on leave today and that we need to go DM so we can't go. Never mind, we can go with Aunt Isabelle another time.

I bought a Nine West chain for only $7.50.. guess what's the usual price? $38!! That's alot of discount. I've been wanting to buy this kind of chain for a long time since i was back in sg. Found one nice in Acessorizes but didn't buy it that time when i was in sg. Then i finally found one that i like here in Tucson today. I'm really very happy. *heheh* My mum bought a pink Timex watch but i didn't buy any coz didn't see any that i like. Saw a GUCCI watch which is kind of similar to the PiereCardin watch that i had last time.. but it's about 5 times more ex than that. I saw the price and i was shocked.. 349bucks. US dollars wor!! So ex.. of coz me won't buy it lah.. even got money also won't waste it.

After that, we went to the Commissary and bought lots of pork and vegetables. Then dear called me and he sounded sad but don't want to tell me the reason. So i was kinda affected by him too. He sent me a sms telling me that he wanted to go and take a nap and forget about everything. I was wondering what made him sad again but to no avail. I still can't figure it out until he called me when i was on my way back home. The journey back home from DM is really far.. i was giddy during the ride so i force myself to sleep and when i woke up, i felt better and didn't have the feeling of vomiting already thought still have abit of headache.

Hmm... then took dinner and came online. I was helping my mum to type out everything that she wanted to tell dear online.. in fact, i'm her secretary. Dear didn't even suspect that i'm the one chatting with him. *hahha* But later, told him the truth and i'm glad that he's not angry at me and mum. Sorry dear, i didn't mean to bluff you. I'm really tired and my back aches after being my mum's secretary for almost 2hrs and continuing after that, chatted with dear for another 2hrs. Going to bed now.. Good luck for your exam tml dear. Hope it's not a difficult paper and that you will be able to know the answers to most of the questions. All the best! *wink*

Nothing much to blog today. Went to Target to develop the photos which i took with dear last friday.. also printed the one that dear edited last night. Saw the photo.. it's really nice wor. Then, went to Pier 1 Imports to buy bottles and candles. That's where my dear called me and told me that his lessons ended and asked if i'm done with my shopping. I quickly ask my mum to pay for the things and then rushed to Fry's to buy vegetables, bananas, cake and bread. I checked out the items myself as the queue for the cashier is really very long. I'm really proud of myself.. know how to weigh the items and pay for it myself now. *heheh*

Just as i'm paying for my stuffs, dear called me and said he's reaching soon. Then when i was outside ROSS.. walking towards Target, dear called again and said he reached Target already. I told him that i will go Target and collect my photos before meeting him. When we were inside, i told my mum to help me collect and pay for the photos while i go and buy the construction papers. I quickly paid it and went to the carpark to find my dear's car. Thanks dear for the ride home. *wink*

Hmm.. I'm really happy to see dear though only for a short while only. But can't chat with him online tonight because he has a Calculus paper tomorrow.. so he needs to study for it. Nevertheless, i'm glad to receive a sms from him an hr ago telling me that he's going to bed and that he will wake up 6am tml to study for it. Dear, all the best wor! *wink* I'm sure you won't disappoint me coz i got confidence that you will do well. Don't worry.. just do your best. Dear, I'm going to listen to you.. will promise to sleep early later that's why i'm blogging so early tonight. *hahah*

Reached church at 10.20am this morning.. luckily we were not late and that there were plently parking lots available. Thank God for answering my prayers this morning. Then, we waited for awhile before the service starts.. while we were singing the first song, my dear and his family came in. Today's songs of worships is very nice.. in fact, i love all of them especially the last one which we sang twice.. once before the sermon and another after that. After the service, we went to Circuit City then to IHOP for lunch. I ordered original buttermilk pancakes with 2 hams and bacons. The serving is really huge.. 5 pieces of pancakes plus the side orders. I can't finished up the pancakes as i'm really full. I tried a little of my mum's steak omelette and my dad's pork chop. The food over there is really nice.. except for the coffee. I told my parents that i prefer my homemade lipton milk tea over that coffee. *hahha*

After lunch, we went back home and watched "Shao Nian Ah Hu" movie starring one of F4 members, Vanness Wu. Following that, we went to Lambert Park. Dad jogged to Golf Villa while my mum walked. As for me, i took a walk round the park with my dear. We chatted about many things as well as some political issues that are in this community. My dear told me that he told his mum about us being together and that Aunt Juliet didn't oppose to it. I'm really glad that we had no objections from either side of parents. Though there may be many obstacles ahead of us, i'm sure we will be able to conquer them as long as we truly love each other just like my dear told me online just now. Dear.. Sobani Ite, Aishiterru.

Well, i'm tired now.. had been scrapbooking since after dinner.. then came online and chatted with my dear.. now just finished blogging.. so me going to bed soon.. or else me will fall sick then my dear will get worried. *hahah* Good night everyone!!

Attended my dad's colleague son 1st month old celebration at Sonaran Terrace.. had beehoon for lunch. Today's party was quite boring.. but luckily got my dear around. We took a walk outside the clubhouse for a while. Then my dad called and said he wanted to go off already.. this is the first party that we went off so fast.

Following that, we went to Circuit City and bought a HP printer for about 80bucks. Actually wanted to go to the next door ROSS to take a look but spent all the time in Circuit City choosing the printer.. so forgot all about it. Next, we went to Grantstone supermarket to do our weekly groceries shopping. Bought 3 packs of "xiao bai cai".. *heheh* Really happy that here got sell this vegetable and that it's really fresh. But then the meat over there doesn't look nice so we didn't buy any. Actually wanted to eat out tonight but then the time is still early after buying all the groceries.. it's not even 5pm yet.. so we went back home and cook instead. *hahha* Mum and i watched the vcds and finally completed the "Goodbye Fireflies" drama. *yeah* Another one down.

After dinner, i decided to start scrapbooking for those photos that i have developed.. started out searching for a template to copy from the book.. then finally found one suitable for the Flagstaff vacation after much effort.. next choose the color combination to suit the photos.. after that, did some cutting. By then, i'm too tired to paste them so kept all my stuffs and packed the coffee table. Then wrapped the present that my dad wanted to give to the church tomorrow.

Yeah, i'm going to church tml.. not going to Mt Lemmon already. Really happy wor. After church, dad promised me to go to I-Hop for lunch.. after that, go to circuit city to return the usb cable coz my dad realized that he got one at home. *yawn* Hmm, i'm really tired now.. so shall end here.

Today woke up at 8.45am, then continue lying on the bed as i heard some things that i don't like to hear. *hahah* Then i finally have to get off my bed at 9.50am because i'll be meeting Christopher at 10.30am. I quickly had my breakfast.. and when i wanted to go and take a shower, Chris called and told me that he's outside my house. So, in the end i let him wait for me to bathe and get dressed up. We left my home at 11am.. went to Nico's, Michaels, Waffle House, Wal-mart, Foothills Mall..

Before going to Michaels, we went to Nico's and bought horchata.. really very nice. Guess how long we spent shopping at Michaels? Nearly 3hrs! *hahha* We can actually shop for 3hrs in that small shop. I bought lots of things for scrapbooking there.. heart-shaped buttons, eyelets & tool, mini clothes pin, stickers, mini wodden shapes, ribbons, etc.. too many to list down. At around 2pm, we went to Waffle House.. i had ham and cheese eggs set. Today's lunch is very filling until i didn't even manage to finish up my plate. Then, before we left the shop, we took photos of ourselves. *hahha* There's one pic posted below. Hey Chirs, thanks for the lunch treat. *wink*

Following that, we went to Wal-mart since i wanted to buy a chain with a cross pendant for my mum.. we saw it last weekend when we were there with dad but mum didn't have the chance to buy it that time. So now, i go and buy it for her as a gift as she like it so much. Hmm, after Wal-mart, we went to some outlets at Foothills Mall such as Levis, ROSS... Then, we sat down and talk for quite some time.. i finally told him how i felt and told him lots of my feelings that i never told anyone. I also don't know how i'm able to tell him so much things and that how come i actually fall in love with him.. It's quite unbelievable that we actually know each other for less than 3mths.. We both felt that we had know each other more than that.. maybe Chris is right that time passes very fast when we are together.. maybe coz time passes especially fast when we are happy. I'm really really very happy today.. and that i will remember this day forever. If i were to go back sg earlier in one way or another.. i promise that i will wait for u to return back sg.. coz i really love you. If we are truely in love with each other.. nothing can separate us.. if it can't withstand time.. then it's not true love.

Hmm.. i'm tired after a day's out. Going to bed now.. tml have to wake up early coz daddy might be teaching me how to drive in the morning. Goodnight everyone.. Bye bye..

Hmm.. didn't do anything today except watching vcds till now. I'm very "guai".. didn't go out shopping today. *hahah* That drama is really nice.. In the show, 2 people who have met 8yrs ago met again on the streets filled with so many people.. and they can still recognize each other. Surprising right? There's another unbelievable thing.. 2 people who get to know each other through a car accident can actually fall in love with each other who knew each other for less than 2 weeks.

I've finally completed the "Welcome" sign for my home.. hehe.. it's pink in colour. I'm going to do a sign for my parents' room too. Then, we will have a set of pink signs in the house. hehe.. it's unique one.. done by myself. *hahah* Hmm, going out with Chris tomorrow.. my mum will be coming along too.. coz she said she haven't been to Michaels for quite long, so wanted to go there and take a look. Haiz.. i really have nothing to blog already.. got to end here.

Slept at 2.10am last night.. then this morning woke up at 9am. Hmm, i got less than 7hrs of sleep.. that's why i felt so tired today. After breakfast, daddy drove me to the post office to mail off Damien and John's presents. Guess how much the postage will cost for the gifts to be registered? It's about US$21 each. That's ex right? The things in the box is less than US$30.. haha.. the registered postage is almost the same price as the items in it. That's the reason why i didn't register the gifts.. hope they won't get lost halfway. Really hope my friends will receive them. In the end i paid US$20.50 for the 2 postages. It's still reasonable.

After that, dad and i went to Safeway to pump petrol and buy things. *haiz* The magnetic strip for the Safeway card that we had was spoilt.. no wonder daddy got problems swipping the card at the pump. Then dad went to apply for another card. We bought rasin bread.. it's really very nice.. thought the life span of this bread is only 3 days. Ate 2 slices in the afternoon, it really taste delicious. *heheh* Will ask daddy to buy this bread when we are at Safeway next time. We shopped till about 10.40am.. then i told dad of the time. He didn't know that it's approaching 11am soon.. hahha.. coz he needs to go to work at 11. Then, we quickly paid for the things and drove home.

Chris came over in the afternoon.. we did a little homework.. joked and played lots instead. *hahah* Really really happy today.. though i didn't go out. Having Chris around really brighten my day lots. Thanks wor. I felt something strongly for a few times today.. but i won't say it out yet. It's a feeling that i never experience before. *hahah* okok, shhhhhh!! As for dinner, i asked mum to cook porridge for me.. then Chris also had abit with us. Then he left our place at 8pm. After bathing, i watched vcds.. "Goodbye Fireflies", a taiwan drama with no famous actors/actress. I've finished watching the 2nd disc.. find that the show is not bad. Will continue watching tml.

Haiz.. Gina is having so many health problems at a time.. really hope that she will be okie. Andrew.. bring her to the polyclinic to see a doctor 1st.. let the doctor diagnose her illness.. then see if it's serious. If it's really serious, then must let her parents know about it so that they will be able to help her. After all, her parents will surely take care of her.. will surely not abondon her. Always remember that there's always a limit to how much we can help others. Mum thinking of going back Singapore coz she's worried about my brother who wanted to go and work so as to pay for her medical bills. *haiz* Really wished that she won't go back or else i would have to follow her back too. I really don't wish to leave this place.. but there are circumstances that i'm able to control. Never mind.. let's take a step at a time.. Chuan dao qiao tou zi ran zhi.

Today chatted with Chris a few times.. once in the morning when he's on his way to school, then twice during his breaks and lastly while he's on his way back home. After lunch, mum and i wanted to go to OfficeMax but it suddenly rained.. then i checked the weather channel and it forecast that there's will be thunderstorms at 5pm and 8pm. Then after a while, the rain stopped and the sun came out. *hahah* Really surprised that it's sunny again. Thought that i won't be able to buy brown paper to wrap the presents.. then i won't be able to mail them off tml morning. But luckily, the rain stopped and i can go out.

Our first stop is Target, went there to develop the digital photos. The guy was very helpful.. he taught me how to use the machine and kept asking me if there's any problem that i encounter. hehe.. Good guy wor. Went to OfficeMax while waiting for the photos to be developed.. then bought some things there. Then, went back to Target to collect the photos. When i stepped in, the guy immediately prepared the envelope on the counter and was waiting for me to walk towards the counter. *hahah* The developing time is very quick over here.. only takes 20mins.. while in sg, it will take a few days to be ready.. most importantly, the quality of the digi photos printed here is much better.. it's as if it's printed from the film. Really very nice!

After that, we went to ROSS.. saw Aunt Wendy and her son over there.. mum chatted with her while i continue shopping for my clothes. I bought 2 T-shirts, a pair of 14k white gold earrings and a small black & white Tommy Hilfiger handbag(shared half the price with my mum). Actually Aunt Wendy wanted to send us home but her son wanted to go home earlier so she helped us to bring our sweaters and the things that we bought at OfficeMax to her house first. Really thank Aunt Wendy for helping us to carry our things back or else we would have to carry alot of things back.. very heavy wor. Aunt Wendy is really very kind and helpful. After our shopping ROSS, we went to Aunt Wendy's house to collect our things and chatted with her for a while.

Then, after dinner i started writing John's and Damien's cards.. choose some photos to be inserted in the boxes.. wrapped the boxes in 2 layers - once with wrapping paper and the outside with brown shipping paper. I did all these while watching the movie "Magic Kitchen". It's really a nice show.. hehe.. coz Jerry Yan is starring in it. Wow.. it's 1.26am le.. promised Chris that i will sleep before 1.30am tonight.. so i'm going to end here.

Can you guess what time i woke up today? 8.30am!! Today's the earliest that i woke up in the past few weeks. *hahah* I'm going to make an exception tonight too.. i'm going to bed before 12midnight.. just as what i had promised Chris. So, i'm going to blog quickly so as to sleep early.

Daddy taught me the basic driving skills this morning.. he taught me the basic things in the car such as the location of the handbrake, accelerator, brake.. how to adjust the seat, the side view and rear mirrors.. how to change the gears.. how to accelerate and brake gradually.. etc. Then, dad asked me to drive out of the parking space to Chris' parking lot. I stopped the car and dad took over the wheels and drove to Target as there's bigger space for me to learn how to drive the car at that carpark. I drove two small rounds then we went back home for lunch.

Today's menu for lunch has my fav dish.. bacon. It's nice but it's abit too oily. As usual, mum and i watched vcds while eating. *hahah* We finally finished the "Love Contract" drama just now.. after spending the whole day watching it. *Yeah* i can start a new drama tomorrow.. still haven't decide what to watch yet. Oh ya, chatted with Chris on the phone this afternoon for quite long.. until his next lesson starts.. but the reception over there is not very good wor.. the line kept disconnecting. But never mind, as long as the calls are foc. *hahah* Ok, it's 11.37pm now.. got to go and sleep soon..

.:: Outlets @ Anthem ::.

2005-02-20T23:24:00.000-07:00

Went to church late this morning.. the congreation had already started singing when we went in. This is the 1st time that we were late for church since we came here. I will try to wake up earlier on sundays from today onwards and will try not to be late again. Today's sermon is on repentance.. while listening to it, i realized that i've got many sins and that i must forsake the sins so as to be considered as truly repented.

After church, we went to Wal-mart to buy the vacumn cleaner but it's still out of stock. *haiz* So we got no choice but to buy another model. After that, went for lunch at the foodcourt.. Panda Express again. *hahah* Actually the last time we ate Panda Express is like three or four weeks back. Following that, we set off for the I-10 highway. We passed by the Waffle House on Ina Road but didn't see Chris' dad's car. Wah!! The journey to "Outlets at Anthem" is really very long.. 2 hours drive. I think the journey is about the same as Singapore to Malacca. It's just that we are travelling faster in America that's why it takes a shorter time to reach there. Hmm, on the way there, i kind of miss someone and was worried about his condition.. *hahha* It's sth quite unbelievable for me coz i don't actually will miss anyone. I'm juz wierd today.. hahah..

We reached there at about 3.50pm.. then only had 2 hrs of shopping time. *haha* It's a miracle that dad allowed mum and i to shop on ourselves and asked to meet us outside Polo Ralph Lauren at 6pm. The first stop we went is the "Rack Room Shoes".. there's a promotion going on whereby the second pair of the lower priced item will have a 50% discount. Dad wanted to buy a pair of running shoes so asked me to see if i wanted to buy any. *hahah* I bought a pair of high-heel shoes but it's not on sale.. so it's quite pricy.. $39.90. But after the 10% military discount and spilting the 50% discount that my dad's shoes had, i ended up paying my dad only 25 bucks.. *hahah* Really a good buy.. coz i think dad miscalculated.. shhhh..

After that, we went our own ways.. mum and i went to Rue21, Quicksilver, Hartstrings (a shop selling kid's clothing) and lastly Polo Ralph Lauren. Hmm, i bought a dark pink long sleve top from Rue21.. it's really very cheap.. only $4. Saw a pair of jeans there that look kind of similar to the one that Rachel had.. maybe they also went there to shop. Didn't bought anything from Quicksilver coz there's nothing that i like. Then, went to Hartstrings and bought a size16 kid's top for $17.. *hahah* I can actually wear kid's clothing.. the top is really very nice.. with blue, yellow and white strips. The clothes at the Polo factory outlet really very ex.. a Polo T costs $49.90.. a cardigan can costs you as much as 70bucks. Didn't buy anything from there.. coz me don't want to spend so much on a top.

We left that place at about 6.10pm.. then reached "Dragon Village" chinese restaurant which is near my place at about 8.15pm. When we reached there, we thought they were closed coz the waitress are sweeping the floor. Luckily it's still open till 9pm or else we would have got no choice but to go home and cook. *hahah* The food there is really not bad.. we ordered Sweet N Sour Pork, Vegetables with Prawns and a bowl of Wanton Soup. Thereafter, we went to Safeway next door to buy meat and vegetables. Thought that Safeway closed at 9pm.. so we kept searching for the operating hours on the door.. One of the Safeway guys told my dad that it is opened till midnight. *hahah* After shopping, we drove home.. it's already about 10.15pm. This is the first time that we came back so late in Tucson. I'm really tired now.. partly coz of the medicine that i took just now.. but it's also coz i spent the whole day out today since 10.10am this morning. Going to bed soon.. Good Night everyone! *wink*

Hmm.. have been staying at home watching vcds for the whole of yesterday. Except for the 2++hrs on the phone with Chris. Wah.. really very long.. broke the last record that we chatted. *hahah* Really happy when chatting with him though it's not face-to-face. Err, really had nothing to blog about yesterday.

Ok, as for today.. Daddy didn't teach me driving because i woke up late.. around 10am. *haiz* But never mind, i can learn it on monday since dad is not working on that day. Actually wanted to go to the post office to mail John's and Damien's gift but sad to say it doesn't open on sat. It's alright coz daddy working on afternoon shift on wed. After lunch, we went to library then to Wal-mart. Wanted to buy vacumn cleaner but it's out of stock at the store.. the salesperson checked for us and told us to come back tml as there's a set in the truck and they will be unloading it tonight. Then, we bought hair-dryer and some groceries. Oh ya, i aksed dad to help me buy the tags which i'm trying to find for my scrapbook stuffs. *hahah* Finally found it in Wal-mart. After that, we went home then mum cooked dinner.. later mum used the comp till now.. that's y i blog so late tonight.

Hmm.. yesterday got to know that Chris drank liquor. Was quite sad when i heard that.. coz he got chest pain.. then still drink.. later his illness will worsen.. *haiz* Really dunno how to take care of himself. Anyway, everything is over. He promised not to drink anymore. Seeing him having chest pain really makes me feel sad. Really don't want to see him suffer. Remember don't take too much coffee and coke wor.. coz these will trigger your illness. Drink more warm water instead.. my grandma also have chest pain, then doctor told her to drink warm water when she's not feeling well. Must really take care of yourself k? Oh ya, damien.. u also muz take care leh.. hope your stomach flu will go off quickly. *wink*

Watched vcds the whole day but still can't finish the drama. *haiz* Mum and i watched till 4pm.. then became bored.. so we decided to go Fry's and buy bread as well as to buy the scrapbook papers from Target. *hahah* In the end, we bought lots of things.

Our first stopover is Fry's as its the furthest away from our home. When we went in, we saw those Valentine's gifts selling at 50% off. Mum bought 2 monkeys for display and a paper bag. It's really cheap after the discount. The paper bag only costs 67cents wor. *hahah* After we got all the things that we wanted to buy, i decided to self check-out the items. *heheh* I finally realized how to use the machine. It's really fun and convenient.. no need to queue up for so long at the counters. I'm going to use the self check-out machines everytime from now on. *haiz* The weather was good when we left our house but after we finished shopping at Fry's, it started drizzling. Then, i quickly went to Office Max to look at those scrapbook materials. *haiz* They don't sell eyelets.. maybe i've no choice but to look for them at Michaels.

Since there's nothing for me to buy @ Office Max, we went to our third stopover - Target. I bought scrapbook papers, scrapbook album and some candles. Wow.. the candles over there are so much cheaper than Hallmark and their scents are nice too. *hehe* Next time, we can go Target to buy our candles.. really can save alot wor. Hmm, actually mum wanted to buy a present for a new born baby coz we are invited to a baby's 1 month old party next sat. But the baby stuffs over at Target are not that cheap.. so we didn't buy anything and decided to ask dad for his budget first.

After we came out from Target, it was raining much heavier this time so we've got no choice but to take out our umbrella and use it. Wow.. the things that we bought are really heavy leh. I was telling my mum how good if either of us can drive.. then we do not need to walk to Target and carry those heavy stuffs back. We can just throw those items in the car and drive back home. *hahah* Hope that i can get my license bah. Shortly after we reached home, Daddy came back. He rarely came home that early.. before 7pm. *hahah* Normally he would only leave his office after 7pm. After dinner, mum and I continued watching vcds till about 11pm. Then came online and realized that Chris is waiting for me to go online. Sorry.. i didn't know or else i would have come in earlier. Hey, next time if u are tired.. don't wait for me.. go and sleep, k? I don't wish to see u so tired and fall sick eventually. Oh ya, congrats for your history exam. Really glad that u scored an A. Yeah! *smiling*

Got up late this morning because i took medicine before i slept last night. *haiz* I woke up at about 11.45am when the management called my mum to inform her that they will be switching off the water in 5mins time until 12.30pm. In the end, they didn't. *hahah* Luckily i didn't listen to them or else i won't be bathing after lunch. Guess what time they shut down the water?Around 3plus. *hahah* Cannot make it.. that's like more than 3 hrs delay.

This afternoon, Chris came over and we did the history guidelines for his second exam. Managed to find the pages where the answers resides for all the questions. *hahha* We spent so many hours finding the pages only. There's a chapter that's interesting in that history text.. it's about the history of Christianity and Jesus Christ, our Lord. *hehe* I really read the text wor. Then, he did his Calculus hw while i was reading the text. Later Chris had dinner at my place.. hehe.. after that, i took a shower whereas he went online to search for the history answers.

We managed to find answers from the Internet. *heheh* Really happy coz we managed to find the exact key points for the questions. Then uncle called and asked him what time is he going back. He told his dad that he will be going home at 9.15.. in the end, he left my house at 9.30pm. That's because he got something to tell me. He said that what he told me on msn is not as sincere as compared to letting me know face to face. At that time, i knew what he wanted to tell me. I'm like a little shy already. Then, he asked if i wanted him to say it out.. i told him better not or else i will fell off the chair. *hahah* At this juncture, he held my hand and told me that he wanted to tell me now.. and he said "I Love You" and that he's very sincere about it. Our faces are so warm at that moment.. I'm really shy although it's not my first time hearing these 3 words. I really don't know why I felt so shy.. maybe it's the sign of falling in love. The feelings that i had towards him is really different.. though i only known him for a short period of time.. we can really click along and felt that i had known him long ago.. it's kind of a unique feeling that i never had before.. it's a very close and special feeling which i don't know how to express in words. Anyway, on my part, i'm not ready to say these 3 words to him until i'm sure of my true feelings for him. I will let him know one day when the right time comes.. just like the way he told me just now. Thanks Chris for loving me. *wink*

Woken up by a call from my brother this morning around 7.30am.. he called my mum to inform her that my grandma fell down on monday afternoon at Sembawang NTUC. Oh nooo.. she fell on her arm which had an operation not long ago. Hope that she'll recover from the injury soon. Today's she's going to go for an X-Ray for her arm. Really hope that nothing serious will happen to her as she's all alone with my brother at home. Moreover, my brother is having his ICAs this week and i don't want him to have more stress.

Around 10.45am, Christopher came over and pass me the gift. This is the second gift that he bought for valentine's day. Thanks alot Chris. I love the pink poodle. *smiling* Not long after Chris went to school, Aunt Juliet came over and chatted for awhile. We plucked the bean sprouts together while watching Zhou Chuan Xiong's vcd. Aunt Juliet really can sing well. *hahah* Later, i helped mum to wrap the spring rolls after my lunch. I made 38 spring rolls in total. I'm so tired after that. *hahha*

Then, took a bath and went to hallmark and target. I bought candle, cards, wrapping paper (to make paper hearts) and piggy bank. Thanks mum for the pink piggy bank. *heheh* I bought the blue one for Chris as a Valentine's gift for him. *hahha* Who ask him to give me one today? So i'm going to give him one tml when he comes over my place to do hw. Hmm, after that bought a few scrapbook stickers from Target. Actually wanted to buy the scrapbook paper but mum don't want me to buy coz it's quite ex. Never mind, i'll buy it another time when i go there again. *hahah*

Today is Valentine's Day! Guess how i spent my day? *hahah* Spent almost the whole day on the highway from Flagstaff to Tucson. We checked out around 9am.. then went to the Visitor Centre besides the train station to take brochures and bought some souveniors there.. later went to San Francisco Street again to look at other shops. *hahah* We took more photos and did more shopping today again. Upon request of my mum, I bought a family tree for Damien and a key tag with the word "Destiny" for myself. Around 10.30am, we left the place and started the drive back Tucson.

Halfway on the highway, we stopped at a rest area and bought tibits.. the T.G.I Friday potato chips is very nice. Yummy!! Not wanting to miss the nice scenery of the mountains, we decided to take some photos to keep as remembrance. At about 1.45pm, we reached Phoenix and tried searching for a Chinese Restaurant to have our lunch but to no avail. Finally we found one by the name of C-Fu restaurant but they are closed for lunch already as it's already 2.30pm. *haiz* So, we decided to go to Lee Lee Supermarket and check if there's any restaurant nearby. Suddenly, we remembered that there's a Vietnamese restaurant in Lee Lee supermarket itself. *hahah* We were so hungry that we quickly place our order. I ordered rice noodle soup with beef meatballs.. it's really very tasty. I'm going to order this dish whenever i go to a Vietnamese restaurant.

Then, we did our grocery shopping and drove back after that. Went to Fry's and bought a bbq chicken and bread before we went home. After dinner, i came online but can't find Chris online. So went to read his blog and was very touched by his words. Then, i called him and tell him not to come my house tonight since my daddy is not in a good mood. I think he's too tired after a whole day of driving, thus having mood swings. I told Chris to come over tml morning to pass me the valentine's gift.

After that, i started typing out yesterday's entry into the blog as i have written it in the notebook when i was in the hotel last night. Wow.. really took very long to type them all out. *hahah* By the time i finished, i was too tired so go and sleep liao.

.:: 1st Visit to Flagstaff ::.

2005-02-13T21:30:00.000-07:00

Today is the second time I skipped church since i arrived in Tucson. Because my parents and I went to Flagstaff for a short holiday and will be back tomorrow evening. When we reached the I-10 highway, my mum got stomachache but there's not a toilet nearby till we are about to reach Casa Grande. We stopped at a Mexican fastfood restaurant, Carl's Jr & bought a set of Fish N Chips & 5pcs Chicken strips for take-away as lunch. Then, my mum felt better and we continued our trip to Flagstaff. The next stop is at a petrol kiosk as the fuel level is getting low. *haha* There's a gift shop at the petrol kiosk. Mum nand I were so delighted that we decided to shop first before visiting the toilet. We bought lots of souveniors there. *heheh* I bought a small Arizona shot-glass, a hand painted tile and some keychains for my friends. Since they don't sell the keychain for my name (Agnes), I bought one with the word "Princess". *heheh*

By 2pm, we reached Flagstaff and started finding "Days Inn" hotel. While we were at Fry's, Chris called me and asked if I have reached. We chatted for awhile then my dad & I went in Fry's to look for mum. We bought Diarrhoea medicine for mum as her stomach is not feeling well today. After much effort, we found "Days Inn" and booked a room for only US$50 for a night. Cheap right? *hahah* Moreover, there will be free breakfast for the 3 of us tml.

At about 4pm, daddy drove us to Oak Creek Canyon park.. mum and i played snow there. We take lots of photos and there's even one with the snowman which we made. My hands are frozen and painful after I made the snowman but it's really very fun. It's my 1st time in my life to see snow and really got in touch with it. Then around 5pm, we went to "Dragon Bowl" for a chinese buffet dinner. The food over there is quite nice. Following that, we went to San Francisco Street and bought many things from one of the shops. I bought a porcelain cabin box, a magnet, a family tree with all our names on it and another key tag for Christopher. *heheh* They are all very nice. The shops here closes very early, about 7pm. That's early, right? So, we decided to return here tml again and we went back to hotel to rest.

After shower, I replied Damien then started to write today's blog on my notebook. It's 9.30pm.. I'm going to bed now.. very tired after a whole day on the road. Anyway, I'll have to wake up early tml so I'm going to bed liao. Really happy that I'll be going back Tucson tml. Hope that we can be back home early bah. *wink*

I'm going to write a short blog today. Well, i went to Uncle Chris' house this afternoon for another cny gathering. *haiz* Got so many gatherings. But luckily got Chris around or else i think i will be very bored. Ate my favourite pineapple tarts there.. the round ones are really very nice as there's lots of pineapple fillings in them. I really miss those pineapple tarts that my grandma and 2nd Auntie made. *haiz* I don't have the luck to eat them this year. Guess i would have to wait for 2 more years before i'm able to taste those again.

At about 5pm, all of us left Uncle Chris' place. We can actually spent 3hrs there. *hahah* Actually wanted to go to Tony Romas for dinner but mum decided to cook, so we went back home straight. After bath, i chatted with Damien for 42mins. That's long. *hahah* Haven't talk to him for quite sometime.. i think it's about 3weeks already. We still chat as per normal. Now it's not so stressful anymore. We really got lots of things to share. He asked me if i found any handsome ang mo guys.. *hahah* Then he said why i come America to find Chinese guy (whom i can find lots in sg) and not ang mos as there are so many Americans around. Cannot make it.. *hahah*

After that, then continue doing my bookmarks. Heheh.. i still remember the design on the "Creating Keepsakes" magazine that i saw at Aunt Isabelle's house. Though the colors combination is different, but the outcome is still acceptable. *hahah* Then i showed my parents the bookmark and praised that it's nice. *smiling* After completed a bookmark for myself, i decided to do one for Chris too. Hmm, i think i'm going to bed now.. got to wake up early as we are going to Flagstaff tml morning. Though i should be happy that i'm going to see snow but i'm not that happy. *hahah* Dunno y. Maybe coz i can't bear to leave bah. If i'm unable to bring my notebook along, then i wouldn't be online tml. *haiz* But luckily i'm only going there for a night. *haha* Ok lar, Good Night! *wink*

I MADE IT! *yeah* Daddy promised that he will bring us to Tony Romas for dinner if i were to pass today's Driving theory test on the first try. I passed the test with only one mistake. *smiling* The first person i wanted share my joy with is Chris with the exception of my dad as he is with me throughout the test. So strictly speaking, daddy is the first person to know my results. *hahah* I called Chris but he didn't pick up the call. *disappointed* After that, i called mummy to let her know of my good news. She was happy for me but jealous at the same time because she regretted not taking the test with me. *hahah* After i hung up the call, i decided to make use of the waiting time to circle those answers on the driver's manual for those questions that appeared in my paper. In this way, it will be easier for my mum to study it. Hopefully those tips that Chris and i gave will help my mum. *wink* All the best wor.

Dad and i really waited very long to get all the procedures done starting from the registeration to the end result of getting my instuctor's permit. Hmm, i think the whole thingy took about 2hrs plus. I nearly dozed off while waiting for them to call my number and register me in the comp so as to take the test. *hahah* Dad is clever, he brought along the tour book guide for arizona and spent his time reading it while waiting for me. Luckily there's not many people taking the test today or else i would have to wait for a longer time. *phew* Maybe it's due to the rain, that's why not many people came.

On my way home, i saw all of Chris' family cars were in the parking slots so i knew that they haven't go to Mt Lemmon yet. When i got home, i called Chris to inform him of my good news. *hahah* Guess what? He's still sleeping! *omg* It's nearly 12noon at that time. Sorry to have woken u up from your beautiful sleep. *hahah* Chatted awhile only as i need to help my mum to cook lunch. In the end, me didn't help because i don't know how to cook fried noodles. So, i continue picking out the tips from the test. The black noodles not bad wor.. *hahah* Yummy!!

After lunch, watched vcds with mum. Finally i finished the "Westside Story" and began a new taiwan drama. Yeah! I can pass the vcds to Aunt Juliet the next time i meet up with her. *heheh* Time really past very fast when we are watching vcds. Soon, it's dinner time. Mum fried spring rolls and nuggets and cook tofu soup though i didn't drink it. *hahah*

Today i'm really in a good mood.. heheh.. coz i pass my theory test. All thanks to the tips that Chris gave me or else i wouldn't have done well too. *hahah*

2005-02-10T22:34:00.000-07:00

I'm very tired.. Have been out since 11.45am till 9.30pm. This morning i woke up at 9.30am, then still chit-chat online with Andrew's gf, Gina until dad chased me to go and bathe at 11.10am. Then i rushed through everything.. had a quick bath, then came out to have macoroni for lunch. It's like it's already 11.30am, then i had only less than 15mins to finish up my lunch and apply the moisturizers. *hahah* Luckily mum and I still made it on time.

We took about 45mins to reach daddy's workplace. Wow, he had a parking slot assigned for him but too bad it's not sheltered parking. *hahah* It's raining when we reached there. Then waited very long for the family day to get started. Mum and i watched cartoon with Max at the Crew Room.. then halfway, Chris called and chatted with my mum for very long. *hahah* Don't know what they are talking about. Me chatted abit with Aunt Wendy and she asked me which subject am i good at and asked whether i wanted to give tuition to the kids.

The first event of the family day is the taking off of 5 helicopters.. one of the pilots is Uncle Chris. Aileen, Sabina, Serene and I stood in the rain and took photos. It's really very cold but luckily got umbrellas to shelter us. All thanks to Aunt Juliet and my mum. *heheh* After the helicopter show, we went for the hi-tea.. had beehoon and fried chicken wings. I also went to my dad's office and sat at his desk. *heheh* Saw his locker too.. it's just outside the room.. so convenient.

Waited for dad to knock off, then we went home. It's still raining at that time. *haiz* But at about 6.50pm, we left for Aunt Isabelle's house. Wow! Their house is really very big.. got 3 bedrooms. Aunt Isabelle showed me the scrapbook that she had done for Kimberly.. it's really very nice. I was thinking of doing it when i was in sg but didn't had the time. I saw those scrapbook stuffs at her house.. she really got lots of scrapbook papers, rubber stamps, cutters and other stuffs. I really like all these stuffs.. hahah..

While waiting for Chris to arrive, i went through some scrapbook magazines. Then had dinner.. had beehoon and chicken wing again. *hahah* Thinking about the Othello game that i played with Chris after dinner.. I lost to him. *sad sad* But really had fun playing it. It's my 1st time playing with someone.. all the time, i used to play it with online players. *hahah* Really had fun playing that game. Ok, got to end off here.. Very tired now. Have to wake up early tomorrow to go MVD for the test. Wish me good luck wor. *wink*

This afternoon went to Chris' house for a Chinese New Year hi-tea gathering. But before that, mum and I went to Fry's and ROSS. We went to buy bread, chocolates, cookies and a red Ralph Lauren Polo T for Chris. Actually wanna buy it yesterday but can't think of any reason to buy it for him as well as afraid that he might scold me for wasting $$. *hahha* Then, mum said that it's not fair to give ang pow to Chris and not to the others. So the best way is to buy a present for him. Though mum bought the shirt but it's me who chose the color and design. *hehe* Really glad that he like it. *smiling* I saw him wearing it and parading in front of the webcam just now.. it really look nice on him though it's abit too big. *hahha*

Actually we were supposed to be at Chris' house by 3pm but guess what time we reached there? 4pm!! It's my first time being late for an hour. *hahah* When i reached there, most of the guests have already arrived. I saw Aileen and Serene there.. didn't expect that Aileen will be there. Haven't seen her for about a month plus already. She asked me to add her in MSN and i just did. *hahah*

Haiz.. tomorrow will be a whole day out for me. Going to daddy's workplace at 12pm, then after that going to Aunt Isabell place for cny gathering. But i'm happy that i'm able to wear my new clothes tomorrow. Too bad Chris can't see me in my new clothes. *hahah* Never mind, will take photos or wear the clothes again another time. *haiz* I think i can't chat online tml as i'm going to wake up 6am on Fri since i have to be at the MVD by 7am. Daddy said there will many people queuing up to take the theory test. So sad.. have to wake up early.

I'm very tired now.. Chatted with Chris for about 2hrs on the phone and i'm still online chatting with him. *haha* We shared many things over the phone. It's my 1st time chatting in Tucson for almost 2hrs. Ok lar, have to end here. Going to bed soon. Good night everyone!

My hands are still painful now. It's all because of the after-effect of cutting the whole packet of short beans this morning. *haiz* Hope that my hand will recover by tomorrow. i'm really not suitable to do houseworks/cooking. *hahah* My parents never even ask me to serve them food or do any other things. They are always the one who do things for me. *hahah* I'm really like a princess at home. No wonder my sec sch teachers and friends give me the nickname "princess". *hahah* I don't like to be ordered around. My mum helps me to do all the things.. eg: prepare breakfast.. pass me water when i needed them.. spread butter on the bread.. bring my plates and mugs to the sink and wash them.. I don't even need to do anything at all. I'm always served with 1st class service. *hhahah*

Mum cooked fried rice for lunch.. it's really very nice. *hehe* After lunch, we went to ROSS and spent the whole day there until 6pm. *hahha* We spent more than 3hrs in that small shop. While we were shopping, we met Aunt Susan and Aunt Wendy. Really surprised to see them there. Guess what i had for dinner just now? I had fried meat with satay gravy, short beans with prawns. The prawns are really very yummy.. i ate about 6 of them. *heheh*

I'm really very happy today.. bought many things. I bought 2 Ralph Lauren Polo T-shirts, a black one for John and a white one for Damien. As for myself, i bought a pink Guess T-shirt, a beige long skirt, another pink T-shirt, a black Tommy Hilfiger handbag and a Harley-Davidson shirt for my "Daddy Pooh". Actually i wanted to buy the pink Ralph Lauren sunglasses but then decided not to though it's reduced to only 10bucks. Because i think that the sunglasses might not be of any use to me since it doesn't have any degree. Though i can still see without spects but i think don't want to waste money. Mum and i spent alot today. It's an exception today as we are buying Chinese New Year clothes. *hahah*

Haiz.. I've nothing to write today. Had been watching vcds the whole day. Actually mum and I wanted to go to Ross today but we postpone it to tml. It's partly due to the cold weather and that we are tired and lazy to go out. *haha* Will go there tml to buy our cny clothes and John's present. Daddy said he'll bring me to the post office to mail the present. *yeah*

This week is going to be a busy week for me.. On thursday, i'm going to daddy's workplace for a family day gathering. Daddy going to bring me to the MVD on friday to take the test and then later got something on. As for the weekends, we might be going to Flagstaff. Looking forward to the trip. *hahha*

Read Chris' blog and think that he's very right. Time will tell everything. There's no point asking for an immediate answer. Let nature takes its course and don't think too much. In fact, the most important thing in life is to try to get a degree so that we can get a good career. Right friends? *haha*

We reached church around 10.20am, then didn't see Chris and his parents. When the service is about to start, i called Chris but he didn't pick up so i thought they are not coming to church. *hahha* Then i turned around and i saw Aunt Juliet searching for us. Initially mum wanted to sit in front as she wanted to have a clearer view of the baptism process but there are not enough seats for them. So we shifted to the back seats. *hahah* It's not too bad, i'm still able to witness the whole baptism process.

After church, we went back home as i haven't wrap the birthday present yet. The heart-shaped gift is so difficult to wrap. But i still managed to do a good job after all. Then, we went to the party around 1.45pm and Chris hasn't arrive yet. I was so hungry that i didn't wait for him to come. By the time mum and I finished our lunch, Chris and his parents came. Luckily didn't wait for him. *hahah* Then, we started finding the answers for his Psychology exam guideline questions. We managed to find most of the answers in Chapter 3. *hurray* But after we chatted for a while, we left the place. Because daddy wanted to go Wal-mart to buy gloves and make a set of keys for me.

When i was shopping at Wal-mart, Chris called and chatted with me for a long long time. Finally i'm able to know what is bothering him these few days which made him so sad. Though he didn't say it out but from the BIG clue that he gave, I knew that what i guess is actually right. *hahah* Oh ya, i'm really very happy today because i got a wine bottle which they finished at the party and Uncle Chong said he will give me the wine bottles next time when he finished them. *heheh* Finally, i got nice wine bottles to put my handicrafts in them. *smiling*

Read Damien's blog just now and found out that he had a car accident. I was shocked when i get to know of the news. What had happened to him? How come he was so reckless? My parents told me to call him and asked if he's alright. But i can't call him since he's in camp so i can only msg him. Will msg him before i go to bed. Hey Damien, must really be careful next time okie? Remember you are not always lucky everytime.

Sorry, i didn't blog yesterday because i was doing the cny lantern last night till about 1.20am. Came online for awhile to read Chris' blog then went to bed soon after that. Chris came to my place around 11am to do his Psychology hw. We talked and laughed while doing the hw. *hahah* Really had lots of fun. Even Aunt Isabelle who was on the line with my mum could hear our laughters and knew that Chris was at my place. *haha* Clever! As for lunch, i helped my mum to cook spaghetti for the three of us. *heheh* It's really very nice! Later, Chris chatted with my mum while i was bathing. Then we had hi-tea break and we ate the Cookies N Cream cake which my mum bought for Chris. *hahah* It came back to my house once again. After that, we continued doing the MCQs.

Time really pass very fast. Soon, it was dinner time. My mum cooked curry chicken for me and a special dish for Chris to bring home for dinner as he's still having a sore throat. While waiting for my mum to finish cooking, we went online to search for lyrics as well as to check some info which Chris' dad asked him to check. *haha* I took some songs from him and vice-versa. We sang the 'hao xin fen shou' chinese version song.. i really like that song. *heheh* After my mum finished cooking, we went to open the letter box and i'm really very happy to get a note from the postman that a parcel is waiting for me to collect at the main office. Finally John's present is here. *huarry* I was so anxious to collect it right away but it's 7++pm. The main office is already closed. *haiz*

This morning, my dad went to the main office to help me collect the parcel. I was so excited to see what exactly did John sent me. My dad was so shocked that the postage is so expensive.. $19! Then, when i finally opened up the box without tearing the paper.. I saw a very nice mug. It's the "Me to You" Bear which i loved so much. Thanks alot John! I'm also very glad to have such a good friend like you too. *wink* Moreover, the Valentine's day card and mug are of a set. hehe.. same bear. Really love it alot and will treasure it. *smiling*

After breakfast, i came online to search for a new blogskin and finally i'm able to find a nice one. How's this skin? Is it nice? *hahah* I really took a long time to find this one for individual use. Initially i found this blog design for couples then i was so sad.. but i'm really glad that i'm able to find this current one. Then, dad chased me to go and bathe so as to get ready to go to Aunt Michelle's house for her daughter's birthday party. So dad took over the computer and search for the hotels in Flagstaff. I think he has already booked the hotel room.. though not really sure about that. *hehe* I'm really very happy that we will be going to Flagstaff to see snow this weekend. Will be bringing my laptop along so i can chit-chat while i'm in the hotel. *yeah*

On the way to Aunt Michelle's house, i asked dad to open the letter box to check if there's any letter for me. At last, i received Damien's Valentine's day card after 2 weeks. *hahah* Initially i didn't know that the card is from him as the front address is typed out. Guess what i found in the card? 3 pink paper hearts. *hehe* It's really very nice and i like the design of the paper very much as it's PINK. Thanks Damien. You have never made/folded anything for me before.. Really touched when i saw it. It's the 1st time i received something that u made. Thanks! You really take the effort to do them.

Many people came to the party today. I chatted with Aunt Isabelle, Aunt Juliet, Aunt Alice and of course Christopher. *hahah* He asked me how to do a calculus question but when i saw that qn, i really forgotten how to do it. OMG! It's only been 8mths since i last done calculus and i have forgotten everything. Oh noooo.. What has happened to me? I really must admit that i returned all my stuffs to my teacher after the exams. *hahah* When i saw how Chris did the qn, i kind of have a little memory of it. Guess i would have to read my calculus text again when i'm back in sg to refresh my memory.

Hmm.. something unhappy happened at the party today. Chris and his mum had a slight argue over his badminton stuffs. Those kids are too much to spoil his things. But we must learn to forgive and forget as God forgive us for our sins.

"But when you are praying, first forgive anyone you are holding a grudge against, so that your Father in heaven will forgive your sins, too." Mark 11:25

"You must make allowance for each other's faults and forgive the person who offends you. Remember, the Lord forgave you, so you must forgive others." Colossians 3:13

Chris, don't be angry anymore okie? Aunt Juliet also didn't want this to happen too. Don't blame her. After all, she's your mum. Hope you will apologize to her. Wow.. it's already 12.25am now. I'm going to sleep soon as I need to wake up early for church service tomorrow. Good Night everyone! Bye~~

Daddy woke me up at 9.30 this morning. Wah! So early. *hahah* Then, I quickly made my own breakfast and go and take a shower. By 10.30am, i'm ready to leave the house. Dad drove all the way to DM which is really far away. Along the way, mum and I had a slight headache due to the long journey. When we reached there, the first thing we did was to collect my mum's medicine. I thought we need to wait for very long to collect the medicine. That's why i brought along my storybook. To my surprise, the whole procedure only took less than 5mins.

After that, we walked back to the Comissionary and did our marketing for the week. By the time we finished our groceries shopping, it is around 1.30pm. We are so hungry and tired so we decided to go to the nearby Yokohama Rice Bowl for lunch. Guess what I ate there? Teriyaki Salmon Rice Bowl! It's been a long time since i last ate salmon. I think the last time I ate salmon is at a Japanese Restaurant back in sg. Though the salmon is not as nice as that I ate in sg, but nevertheless, I still like it. *heheh*

On the way home, I asked my dad to drop me off at Halmark to collect the free gift. It's a heart-shaped box with 3 mini candles. I like the box very much. All thanks to Chris because he helped me to print the coupon to redeem this free gift which they are selling it at $12 per box. Then, we went straight home and watched vcds. *hehe* I'm going to finish Volume1 of the Westside Story. *yeah* Around 6.15pm, we had our dinner and came online after that. Chatted with Adeline for a while then Chris came in and chatted with him until now.

Hey friends, did u all notice the scrolling text on the status bar at the bottom of my blog? *heheh* Finally, i managed to find out how to input the text.

The text goes like this.. "Like a never ending flim_`the fading memories plays on in my heart_`the day i met you is the day i realised i found_`True Love_`There are some memories i've tried so hard to erase_`but somehow your smile still gets stuck in my head_`i guess i just can't forget you........_`"

Nice wordings right? *hahah* I saw it on the website and find that it's very nice so i put it on my blog. Actually i wanted to change the blogskin but still can't find one to my liking. Will continue finding it another day.

2005-02-02T23:35:00.000-07:00

Actually we were supposed to go to DM today to collect my mum's medicine but my dad had to go back to work last minute this morning so we can only go there tomorrow. So mum and I stayed at home the whole day. It's partly due to the fact that the weather is very cold today. I have finally finish studying the driving manual. *hehe* I will go online and try out the sample questions tomorrow when I'm free. Hmm.. Mum and I had been watching the vcds for the whole day. Finally we finished the last disc of that drama. *yeah* When Chris came over my place, mum and I were watching the vcds halfway so he waited for us till about 5pm. I felt so bad for making him wait for me to finish my show. Really sorry about that. Oh ya, thanks for the Horchata. It's really very nice.

After the show, we started searching the answers for the questions listed on his Psychology exam guidelines. I thought that it was easy to find the answers initially but to my disappointment, the opposite was true. We took a long time just to find the answers for one question. *OMG* We have only done the questions for the first chapter when Uncle called. Then, we quickly find the answers for chapter2 questions. Luckily, the answers are easier to find this time. *hahha* It might be due to the fact that I have studied the module "Market Research" before so I'm more familiar about those research methods. Anyway, we managed to finish most of the questions in chapter2 within half an hour. *yeah*

Later, I chased him to go back home as his parents are waiting for him and I don't wish that he will be scolded by them. So i quickly asked him to pack his things and go home for dinner. Luckily he didn't have dinner with us though my dad had asked him many times. If he eats here, he wouldn't be able to eat his dinner when he goes home. Then, he will surely be scolded. *hahah* Before he left, I told him that I won't be coming online to chat with him tonight as I wanted him to finish up his homeworks and study for his tomorrow's calculus exam. That is why i'm blogging so late. *hahah* I was watching vcds (Westside Story) and I like that show very much. *hehe*

Saw the comments on my blog and I'm really glad that he took his medicine and slept early tonight. *Good Boy!* *pleased* Really had fun today though we are only finding answers. *hahah*

Dad is working on afternoon shift today. That is why he's able to fetch mum and i to and fro to hallmark. *heheh* Actually he wanted us to buy birthday present for his colleague's children. *hahah* In the end, i bought something from hallmark again. A nice, white and unique photo frame which I put the photo that Chris and I took the other day. *hehe* It's really very nice. Initally, it costs $16 but i've got a discount and bought it for only $12 since i'm a Hallmark member. I'm a good girl today. Only bought an item from Hallmark. *thumbs-up* However, when we went to ROSS, i bought another item. It was the white Polo t-shirt which i wanted to buy for a long time ago but did not have the time to try it on. *hahha* Finally i bought it. *yeah*

Actually, Aunt Juliet asked me whether wanted to go Wal-mart with her this afternoon but since dad is driving me to hallmark and ross, then I told her that I will go out with her another day. *hehe* But it is also partly the fact that I wanted to go ROSS to take a look at the clothes. *shhhhh..* hahah. Because I haven't buy any clothes since i came here except for the pink jacket which i bought from Gap.

Came back home around 1 plus, bought many bottles of drinking water. *hahha* Since dad is coming to fetch us, we might as well use this chance to buy them or else we will need to carry them home ourselves if we buy them on another day. By the time we reached home, dad had already cooked our lunch. *hehe* Once again, Mum and I watched vcds while having our lunch. After that, I helped my mum to wrap the presents and did some art & crafts. *hahah* It's another new hobby to me now. By the time i finished doing all of these, it's already close to 5pm so mum decided to cook dinner early. In this way, we are able to watch vcds earlier. *hehe* We are left with only 2 discs now. This drama is ending soon. *hurray* *smiling*

*Haiz* I really have to try to finish reading up the highway code book. There are 5 more pages to go. I'm juz too lazy to study them. *hahah* But dad said he is going to bring me to MVD next wednesday morning to take the test. *Aiyoh* I really need to study this time, or else I will sure fail the test. I have to go to bed soon as we are going to DM to collect my mum's medicine tomorrow morning around 10am. Then, I have to come home by 3.30pm as Chris will be coming over my place to do homeworks again. *hehe* I'm going to have fun tomorrow. *smiling*

Hmm.. had spaghetti for lunch.. Yummy!! Coz i also helped out in the cooking too. *hahah* Mum and i watched vcds while eating the spaghetti. Later, took a bath then went out. Went hallmark first.. bought lots of candles of different scents and a box of x'mas cards ($1 only). Then, went to Fry's and bought bread, doughnut, the Living magazine *yeah* and some books. This is still not the end, we still went to ROSS. *hahah* Bought bath foam and soaps. hehe.. they smell very nice wor.

Chris called me while on his way home and asked if he should take up the job as a maths teacher. Then, he juz told me online that he's going to start work this Fri morning. He chose to teach in the morning coz he can go out with me on Friday afternoons. *hehe* Oh ya, thanks Chris for sending me and my mum back juz now. If not for u, i think we will have a hard time carrying back all those stuffs that we bought. Really very heavy wor. "Xie Xie" for the ride home! *wink*

Came home and mum cooked dinner for us. Watched vcds again while eating. *hahah* Coz dad's not back yet. Then came online and chatted with Chris. Sad to know that he's down with a fever and that he got a bad soar throat and running nose. Haiz.. dunno how to take care of himself. Shouldn't be eating those heaty and spicy stuffs. How to recover if he continue eating these stuffs? *haiz* Hey Chris, muz remember to take medicine wor.. then u will recover faster. Your exams are round the corner, cannot afford to fall sick at this time. Muz really get well soon. Drink plenty of water and get more rest. *wink* Oh ya, don't be upset over those stuffs coz u did nothing wrong. Always remember to do what u think is right. Don't let your mood be affected by wad others say. Always stay happy wor. Muz be like me.. always happy-go-lucky. *wink* Hey, whenever u are sad, i will always be there for u. Though i can't solve all your problems but i can lend u a listening ear. That's wad friends are for, right? *haha*

After church, we went to KFC near our home for lunch. Hehe.. long time never eat KFC liao wor. Nice nice!! heheh.. Then, they went to Cosco.. but daddy dun wanna go coz he wanted to go jogging around 3pm. So he's afraid that we might not have time to go Lambert Park later.

Came home about 2.30pm.. then watched vcds till 3++. Actually dad dun wanna go and jog coz the weather today is really cold. But after we watched an hr of vcds, dad went out to take a look and found out that it's actually not very cold. So asked us whether wanna join him at the park anot. Anyway, mum and i got nothing to do so okie lor. *haha* Then mum asked me to call Chris and asked whether he and Aunt Juliet wanna join us at the park anot.. he said they are on their way home from Cosco. So we went there 1st lor. While waiting for them, me and mum took a walk round the park.. when we are abt to finish one round, got a call from Chris that he arrived liao. We played ball together with Aunt Juliet and my parents. *hahah* Very fun wor. After a while, we got tired.. so decided to stop the game and took a walk around the park again. This is the second round le. *hahha* My hands are as cold as ice.. really very cold. *nodding head* Dad said next week's weather is around this temperature.. very cold. Haiz.. can't go out le.

At about 5.45pm, we reached home and mum cooked chicken curry for us. Hehe.. very nice. Me ate 4 chicken wings and lots of potatoes & carrots. Very full.. really will become fat if i continue eating like this for the next 2 years. *haiz* After bathing, mum and i sat down together and continue watching the vcds. *haha* Still haven't finish watching one show yet. Very lousy hor.. Initially, we can finish one show in less than 3 days. But now it's like more than 3 days liao.. and we are still on the 1st show. *hahha* Really cannot make it.. tml muz try to watch more discs.

My mum lor.. she always talk to my dad so loudly early in the morning around 5++am. Then, i wake up and sleep. After awhile, abt 7.30am.. my mum would be online.. then i can hear the typing sounds of the keyboard. Woke up again.. and went back to sleep. *hahah* That's y i have been waking up so late around 11++ these days. Cos have been disturbed. *hahah*

Hmm.. went to library this afternoon after lunch. Borrowed 4 books and read some new magazines there which can't be checked out. Saw a magazine called "Living".. inside got lots of things to do wor. Decided to go and buy that magazine next week. *hahah* Pink color cover one wor.. coz of Valentine's Day mah. Guess how many books my mum borrowed? Eight books wor. *hahha* Alot hor.. coz she said she dun wanna always go library. So wanted to renew them instead when she can't finish them.

After library, mum wanted to go and buy nail polish remover coz i helped her to paint her nails with the bright pink color.. it's like the barbie pink. *hahah* Daddy asked where we wanna go but we can't decide so he carried on driving until we are near the 99cents store. So dad asked if we wanna go there and take a look. *hahah* Of coz mum and i want to go lah.. coz can buy things mah. I bought a candle, lavender body lotion, paper bag and sweets. *hahah* So didn't spend much today. Anyway, i didn't return my dad the $$ so they are FREE. *hahah*

I kept telling my mum that she don't have QC wor.. mine are all of almost the same size leh. *hahah* Then, she fed up and said next time i wrap all the spring rolls myself. Oh nooo.. i get myself into more trouble. *hahah* After dinner, mum and i watched vcds until 9pm. Then, came online until now lor.

2005-01-28T23:56:00.000-07:00

Me woke up early this morning.. at about 8.30am. Cos need to go for a briefing around 12noon. Watched vcds while waiting for dad to come back. When we reached there, we waited for so long before the briefing starts. Haiz.. the first part is so boring.. it's all on the different classes of traffic offense falls under and the kind of punishment for different classes. I didn't even know that a traffic offense can lead u to a jail sentence. *hahah* Even when u didn't stop by when there's an accident, you can be fined wor. The laws here are really very different from that of sg.

Then got a 15mins break.. so talk to Serene and Sabina. They asked me y i never add them in msn.. hahah.. thought that i dun have a computer yet. *hahah* The fact is that i don't have their email address mah. Then, i called Chris and chatted with him for awhile. *hahah* Me really call and spot check whether he got do his hw anot. Ok, lets talk abt the 2nd part of the briefing. Hmm, it is more interesting now.. Mike asked me and another guy to be volunteers for an alcholic demonstration. Since i'm wearing high-heels, so i muz take off my slippers. Haiz.. have to be barefooted. *hahah* Firstly, he asked us to lift one of our foot 6 inches from the ground and count for 30sec.. i chose to stand on my left leg and raise my right foot. Secondly, we had to walk 9 steps on a straight line with our right foot in front of our left one.. and then, 9 steps back. This is not the end yet. After that, he gave each of us a goggle and ask us to put it on.. and asked to do the two procedures again. He told us that this is wad we are going to see things when we are drunk. It's really very different.. it's like u thought the white line is on the left.. but in actual fact it's on the right. Wierd right? *hahah* Of coz lah.. coz i never before mah.. so wouldn't know how things will look when i'm drunk.

After the briefing, we went to the library but it's closed. So decided to go tml lor. Following that, we went to Dragon Village for dinner.. the food there not bad wor.. i like the Peiking Porkchop and the Shrimp with mixed vegetables. Actually the meat eggs rolls also not bad lah.. but i never tried the vege egg rolls. Guess it should be nice bah. This dinner very filling wor.. but me very paiseh leh.. coz i accidently spilled the wanton soup on my jeans. Know how it happens anot? *haha* Coz i was talking to my mum and using my fork to poke the shrimp in the soup, then the next thing i know.. the soup spilled out of the bowl. *embarrassed* Luckily no one knows except my parents.

After dinner, we went to the Safeway nextdoor and bought the groceries for the week. Then, came home, bathe and watched vcds. While watching halfway, Chris called and asked how come me not online. hahah.. so after i finished watching that disc, came online lor. Then, chatted with him until i forgot to write my blog. Now, i know y he feels sad le.. haiyoh.. told him that he should tell me earlier then he won't be feeling sad for the past few days. Haiz.. Was affected by him when he don't want to tell me the reason. Anyway, i'm back to normal now.. *happy-go-lucky* Hope that he's fine now.. Yeah.. finally finished le. Good Night!!

Today very sianz.. watched the vcds that Aunt Juliet brought to my home yesterday. Started out with the one that starred Ambrose Xu Shao Yang. Actually wanna go to the supermarket @ Grant with Aunt Juliet but mum's not feeling well.. got headache. So we stayed at home and watch the vcds instead. While watching the 2nd vcd, Chris called and i talked to him for more than half an hr wor. *hahah* But he's so sad today.. he himself also dunno y. Guess wad? I need to replay the 2nd disk again.. coz i missed out 75% of them while talking to Chris. hahah..

After that, felt so bored.. so mum and I decided to go Albertsons and walk walk. Wow.. it's really quite far leh.. think it's about 15mins walk. When we reached there.. very tired liao wor. *hahah* But never mind, it's worth the effort.. coz i bought bottles and straws. Guess how much is the straws? 25cents per pkt wor.. unbelievable hor. *hahah* Hmm.. i also bought a pink and purple nail polish. hehe.. finally buy my nail polish liao. But by the time we reached home around 6.30pm, the sky is already dark and i can't even see the road ahead of me properly.. "hei an an" leh. Me so unlucky, step into a pool of black dirty water.. then my fav pair of pink shoes is dirty. So sad.. but nvm, my mum helped me to clean away the mud.. so waiting for it to dry now.

After dinner, me came online and check my email. Received a reply from Damien.. and i kinda felt that i hurt him.. felt kinda sad while reading the email too. But i'm glad that he's strong and can accept it. Now, though everything is over but i still feel abit sad about this matter. haiz.. But nevertheless, i'm really glad that we are still friends after all. *wink* God has a plan for all of us.. i dunno my future, only God knows. So i will leave everything to Him.

Hmm.. going to be a short entry for today. What did i do today? Basically nothing until Chris came over my place. *hahah* We did the excel hw together.. then have to think very long as usual. Later i watched him do his calculus hw.. can't help him with it coz i have never learnt "volume" in my calculus module. Really happy that we completed 2 hw. Then, took a rest. haha.. played my fav game "Bejeweled". I managed to get into the last position on his highest score list. *heheh* not bad wor.. must try harder next time.

Around 7pm, Aunt Juliet came over and the 4 of us had dinner together. Cos dad is working on afternoon shift so he'll not be back for dinner so early. After dinner, we did the Human Sexuality hw for chapter2. I managed to guess the answers correctly wor.. not bad hor? Coz i didn't study before leh. We didn't finish it coz it's 10pm liao so he needs to go home and rest.. since he got lessons tml morning.

Boxes finally arrived this morning. Hurray!! I have more clothes, shoes, bags and handicrafts. I really miss having lots of them. *hahha* But sad to say, i never bring all my stuffs over. Cos i didn't expect that i would be able to spend 2 yrs here.. thought that i'll only be spending 6mths here. Haiz.. really regreted not bringing all my shoes and bags over. *sob sob* But nevertheless, i'm still contented that i got more variety of all my things today. hehe.. really happy that i packed all my stuffs myself and that my room is neat and tidy.

Have been packing my stuffs for the whole morning till about 3pm. Then, took a shower and talked to Chris for awhile. He's sick.. down with flu and cough. Must be the aftereffects of eating too much heaty stuffs and walking in the rain. It's partly my fault that he's sick now. *sad sad* I hope that he will recover soon coz he still needs to go for his lessons and finish all his hw.

Oh ya, I just replied Damien's email juz now.. Guess i had already told him all that i had in mind. Sometimes, i'm really angry at him. Haiz. Better not talk about it. I promised myself to let this topic end and that i will not blog anything sad again. Hmm, guess i don't have anything more to blog for tonight. So, see u all tml.. Bye!

2005-01-24T23:30:00.000-07:00

I'm a very good girl today. *hahah* Didn't go shopping, stayed at home the whole day. But me also not very good lah.. coz i woke up at 11.50am. I think that's the lastest that i ever wake up before. Skipped breakfast and ate lunch instead lor since it's so late liao. In the afternoon, Aunt Juliet came over my place and passed us the Char Kuay Teow & Bah Kut Teh. hehe.. the kuay teow very nice leh.. it's been a long time since i last ate. Around 5pm, Chris came over my house coz he needed my help in his excel hw. We finally got the clue to do the qn after some trials and errors. After that, we do the Human Sexuality hw together. hahah.. we had fun doing the hw together. Didn't realized that doing hw can be fun too.

This morning i read an email that my brother sent me. So i thought of the problem again. Actually wanna escape from it but find that i still can't. Irene is chatting with me on this subject now too. *hahah* Seems that i really can't evade this. Y does the same thing happened again this year? I had given him a chance once. Do i have to give him a second chance? Is it fair to me? Do u think someone will please u forever and let u do things that he doesn't like u to do? I don't think so. One day, he will get tired and wouldn't want to please anyone. I don't like people to please me in order to make me happy. I really don't want this same episode to repeat every year. I'm kinda tired and sick of it. My friend told me..

Life is short....let ur heart lead ur feelings...live everyday to the fullest n happiest...

Maybe my friend is right.. it's time for me to let go of this "draggy" relationship cos having a relationship without trust n respect is very tiring. Ok lar, i'm tired now.. don't wanna blog liao. Blogging about sad things make me feel sad. I wanna be happy from now on..

.:: Busy Day ::.

2005-01-23T21:50:00.000-07:00

Church is fun today.. learnt many things from the pastor. Moreover, Chris went with us today so i got someone to talk to. hehe.. very happy that he's going to go church with us from now on. At least we get to see each other on Sunday. After church, we went for lunch @ Foothills Mall.. hahah... we shared a plate of rice from Panda Express. Coz me can't finish a plate by myself. Normally i would share with my dad but today dad wanna share with my mum so i shared with Chirs lor. *hahaz* Then, we went Wal-Mart coz my parents wanna buy meat, vegetables and groceries for the week.

Today is a busy day wor. We reached home at about 2.40pm.. then had to rush to the Lambert Park coz dad wanna go there and support the soccer match. I took a shower and then left our place at 3.30pm. Haha.. Most of them are already there when we reached. In fact, all of them all there. *hahah*

Chris taught me how to play basketball.. hahah.. i finally can throw a ball into the net leh. Then after a short break, we played badminton. It's been a long time since i last play badminton. *hahah* I'm still very bad at it. We played until both of us are tired.. then took a break again. This time, we ate bananas and grapes. Later, we walk around the park and sang songs. hehe.. very happy wor. After that, we sat down on the grass patch and talk.. he helped me to read my palm wor.. haha.. sounds like an expert. When he sang the song 'Guang Huai Fang Shi'.. i also sang along with him. *hahah* Didn't realized that we both like this song since young. Haha.. we got another thing in common again.

Hmm.. we left the park at about 6pm coz it's getting colder. Dad drove to the police station near Golf Villa coz he wanted to find out the place before we go there on Friday for a briefing. Haiz.. heard from Chris that the session will last 4 to 5 hrs. Wow.. that's very long and boring. Haiz.. bo bian.. must go and listen to all the laws and regulations.

2005-01-22T23:45:00.000-07:00

I practically slept the whole day today. *haha* Woke up at 8am.. then had breakfast. Took an hr nap till 9.30am. Then chatted online with Damien. After lunch, i slept again. *hahah* This time i slept till 4.50pm. Chris called shortly after i woke up.. then chatted for a while. A minute after i put down the phone, Damien called. *hahah* very busy hor. But only chatted with him for a few minutes only.. coz Uncle Foo came to our home. Then, had a very full dinner.. curry chicken wor. hahah.. that's my mum's speciality dish! All thanks to Uncle Foo then we got curry chicken to eat. *hahah* Around 10.30pm, Chris came over to our house and pass us the freshly baked egg-tarts. They are very nice!! Yummy Yummy!! Thanks Aunt Juliet. *wink*

Chatted with Damien this morning and felt abit sad after that. He asked if i still wanna him to be my bf. Hmm, wad can i say? I really dunno about my feelings. I do love him but it's not as much as before. I also don't understand y. I kinda don't miss him now after being here for a month. Maybe coz we are too far apart.. maybe coz i'm abit disappointed in him.. maybe coz i found a new friend who had lots in common to share with here.. haiz.. i dunno lah. Though only knew him for 2 weeks, but it seems that we knew each other for a long time. Just like what Aunt Juliet wrote on her blog. Perhaps this is fate. Well, i can't give a definite answer to Damien as to whether we will still be together in future.. coz i'm not a fortune teller.. i won't know wad the future lies. Feelings can't be kept in a bottle and store in the refrigerator for 2 years. People's feelings will change.. maybe he will find a better girl than me one day.. maybe i will find a better guy. I dunno.. no one knows too. I leave all these to fate.

But right now, what i need to do is to pass my highway code. Then, get my driving license. Following that will be attending my summer semester here. Will be doing some short courses so there's no time to think so much.. My priority will be to complete all the short courses and get good grades for them. So, there's really no time to brood over those things above. Let nature takes its course bah.

Ok, me going to bed now.. have to wake up early coz going to church with Chris tml morning. After church, will meet Uncle Foo for lunch and shopping at Casa Grande. hehe.. will be looking forward to tml's outing.

.:: i'm very happy today! ::.

2005-01-21T22:27:00.000-07:00

Went out with Chris for the whole day.. Tucson mall, Michaels and Foothills mall. hehe.. very happy today. Had lots of fun.. did lots of shopping. Haiz.. me broke liao. Coz spent too much liao. Hmm, bought shampoos, candles, moisturizer, bottles, art&crafts.. I think spent abt 90bucks today. That's alot hor? But luckily i got my mum to split the bill with me for the shampoos and moisturizer.

Chris and i had a very filling lunch.. Had fish & chicken platter and shrimps @ Long John Silver. It's been a long time since i last ate Fish N Chips. hehe.. the fish is very nice though it's abit salty. After that, we went to Nico's and Chris bought a mexican drink. He let me try abit and it's nice!! hehe.. i like the strange taste of the drink. In the end, we shared the drink. *hahah* Later, we went Michaels and bought those bottles (99cents only.. good buy hor?) and various shapes of wood (2 hearts, fence, dolphin, hand & feet). Those woods are selling at 6 for a dollar. hehe.. cheap right?

Next, we went to the arcade @ Foothills Mall. We played racing cars and DDR. hehe.. it's very fun.. haven't been playing arcade games for a long time. Chris very clever leh.. can play time crisis with juz one credit and he can dance very well wor.. got AA leh.. haiz.. me only got D/E. After arcade, we went to Golf Villa to take a look at the place coz i haven't been there before. Wow.. i think the place over there is larger than RockRidge. Then, he drove back and came to my house for dinner. We painted the wood that i bought juz now.. hehe.. very nice. All thanks to Chris coz he helped me to design them. We talked and laughed alot at my place too. *hahah* Basically, we laughed the whole day. Really enjoyed ourselves today.. hehe.. didn't know that shopping with him is so fun. *hahah*

Before Chris went home, daddy took photo for us.. first time taking with him. Below is one of them. hehe.. nice anot?

.:: Toefl Results OUT!! ::.

2005-01-20T22:09:00.000-07:00

This afternoon went to ROSS for a walk coz was boring at home. Actually wanna help Aunt Juliet with her blog today but then she didn't call me this morning.. so i go and walk walk first while waiting for her to call. Later she called me while i was shopping, and told me that she forgot to make an appt with me so she asked me to help her do it next week since she wanna go out later. After she ended the call, Chris called me from school. *hahah* Then the cycle continued once more. My phone very busy today leh.. good business. *hahah* Ok, wad did i buy today? Hmm, pink GUESS wallet, ty bride bear(US$2.40 only.. cheap right?), shower gel..

Yeah! I got my TOEFL results today. My brother juz phoned me to let me know of the score. I got 270 upon 300 marks. Hehe.. very happy. Coz i thought i wouldn't be able to score well for my essay since i'm writing rubbish. Suprisingly, i scored 5 upon 6 marks for that essay. *hahah* Luckily scored well or else really wasted the 700 over dollars.

Hehe.. Going 'gai gai' with Chris tml. Got to sleep early coz he's coming to my place tml morning to help me with my blog. Or else when he comes tml, i would still be sleeping.. *hahah* Juz joking lah.. me will try to wake up early. Hehe.. looking forward to tml's outing.

2005-01-19T21:46:00.000-07:00

This afternoon, wanna exchange the cracked bottle but in the end bought more bottles and candles from Pier 1 store. *haha* But i don't intend to shop at that store today. Actually wanted to go to ROSS to buy the polo t-shirt. But due to time constraint, we went to Fry's instead. After that, we went home to put down our things and go directly to Chris' house around 4pm. Bought chocolate chip cookies and cookies n cream cake for Aunt Juliet. Chris said the cookies is nice leh. Hehe.. of coz lah, me choose one mah. *hahha* Hmm, i gotta try the cake later.. see if it is nice anot. Oh noooo.. i'm gonna be fat.

Hey, Chris' discman is very nice leh.. got blue lights one. NICE!! Also found an interesting bear in his room.. when u press a button, the bear will laugh nonstop. Really a very cute bear leh. *hahah* Oh ya, thanks for the chain Chris.. it's beautiful.. hahah.. when i wear it.. everyone will know that i'm cute. You really chose the perfect gift leh. *hahah* Oh nooo.. Me too proud of myself liao.. how can i say myself is cute. *slap my own face* But i feel bad for him leh.. coz he needs to forgo his 2 weeks savings to buy that gift for me. Really touched by your sincerity. Thanks again. *wink*

2005-01-18T22:41:00.000-07:00

I spent $$ again.. went to Hallmark and Pier 1 Imports juz now. Bought lots of candles and bottles. *smiling* Hmm, spent abt 20bucks today. Coz i shared the cost with my mum. *hahah* But me have to go back to the Pier 1 Imports shop tml coz one of the bottles is broken.. got to go back and exchange it. *sad sad*

Chris called me twice today.. once in the afternoon and another when he's on his way back home. Hahha.. luckily it's free or else the both of us going to be broke liao. But really fun chatting with him.. or else i'll be bored coz no friends here besides him. Oh ya, thanks for the Valentine's gift Chris! Can't wait to see what it is. hahah.. Nvm, shall wait till friday. *telling myself to be patient*

Having lived here for a month, i kind of like this place liao. My dad was predicting the other day that even if he buy free air tickets for me to go back Singapore, i might not want to go back liao. *hahah* His prediction came true. I don't think i wanna go back sg this Nov.. instead i wanna my bro to come over here. Because of wanting to stay here with my mum while my dad go out of state for work, it makes me to have more determination to get my driving license. Having the driving license, my dad would not worry about leaving us alone here coz we are able to do our shopping on our own. Ok, so my goal for now is to master the highway code and pass the driving test. I must always believe in myself.. if i wanna do it, i can do it. *wink*

Got to sleep early tonight.. coz tml will have a morning call at 8am. *hahah*

2005-01-18T10:58:00.000-07:00

Nice pic that i found..

.:: New Blog ::.

2005-01-17T21:39:00.000-07:00

Today is King Martin Luther Jr Day, a public holiday in US. Woke up late today coz stayed up till about 1.30am last night to transfer all the entries to this new blog. But i'm very happy with the new look coz it's pink in color. *wink*

Chris came over to pass us the 'hor fan' that Aunt Juilet cooked. It's very nice! Not salty at all. I told my parents that Aunt's 'hor fan' is better than the one sold at China Phoenix. *hahahz* But that's the truth! Very delicious!! Mum gave him spring rolls.. the ones that mum and I wrapped this morning. Hope that it's nice. We haven't wrap spring rolls for like ten years liao. *hahah*

Chris helped me to upload my photo and the tagboard on this blog. Now, i know how to upload photos on my blog liao. All thanks to Chris. *wink* I'm very happy today. Got Chris to accompany me for the whole afternoon. We chatted alot. *hahahz* Hmm, i learnt sth today:

Don't care what others said.. do what you think is right. And don't always compare yourself to others coz "ren bi ren qi si ren".

After he left, i helped my mum to change the template, put the links and tagboard on her blog coz she kept bugging me to help her. *hahah* Ok lar, have to let my mum write her blog liao. Haiz.. might have to help her post photos on her blog later.

.:: Phoenix Trip ::.

2005-01-16T23:36:00.000-07:00

Today we went to the outlet stores, Lee Lee supermarket and lastly a HongKong restaurant for dinner. At the 1st stop, i bought a pink jacket for only US$30.. due to a 30% discount & a further 15% discount for GAP members.. actually the usual price was US$49.90. A good buy right? Oh ya, i muz remember to return my dad the 30bucks tml. Chris bought the html book specially for me for me to revise so as to pass time. Thanks Chris. *wink* I appreciate your warmest thoughts.

Hey guys, guess how much my dad & Chris' dad spent at the supermarket? Each of them spent US$150 within 2 hrs. Unbelievable right? *hahaz* Another unbelievable thing! We ate our dinner at 4pm. Can you imagine that? And it's not normal dinner.. it's like "ze cha". We had steam fish, kailan, pork chop, duck and dumpling soup. I love the food over there.. especially the pork chop and the kailan. It's really very nice. Not salty.. hardly can find food that is not salty and too sweet in Tucson. This is the best restaurant that i have been since i came here. Too bad, the journey from my place to Phoenix is too long. So can't go back there often.

Actually wanna take pic with Chris today but haiz... there's nothing nice for us to take. Cos we ended up in the supermarket for 2 hrs. Anyway, never mind.. we still got plenty of time to take photos. Will be looking forward to friday's appointment.. haven't had any plans yet.. but nvm.. see how things go bah.

Birthday Party

2005-01-15T23:57:00.000-07:00

Today went to Uncle Chong's house for their children's birthday party. Wow.. there are so many of dad's colleagues over there. Saw some familiar faces there such as Uncle Jack, Serene, Aunt Michelle, etc. Luckily there's Christopher to accompany me there or else i will be bored to death. *hahaz* Hey Chris: You are not fat.. u are just nice for your height. Don't keep saying that u are fat, k? *wink* Actually i didn't say that u are fat, coz i thought u are asking me whether u look better in the photo or in actual person. So i chose your present image lor. *hahaz* It's just a misunderstanding. Anyway, my apologies to u.

Really thanks for your help, Chris. I appreciate it. *wink* We really had fun editing my blog at his house. Haha.. we laughed alot.. it's been a long time since i laughed so much. *hahaz* Hope we can have fun tml too. Hehe.. both our families are going to Phoenix tml morning. Haiz.. got to sleep early coz tml's appointment is at 10am. Normally, i wake up around this time. *hahahz*

By the way, thanks Kelvin and Dickson for visiting my blog. Feel free to give me your comments. Thanks in advance.

Farmer's Market

2005-01-14T22:43:00.000-07:00

Went to the 17th Street Farmer's Market with Christopher & his parents this afternoon. Wow.. there really sells wide varieties of spices from various asian countries.. Singapore, Korea, Japan, China, etc. I even saw those familiar sg sauces such as the Hainanese Chicken Rice sauce, Singapore Chicken Curry sauce.. the famous lee kum kee char siew sauce, minced garlic. *hahaz* Finally i get to see these stuffs again.. kind of miss them since the local supermarkets don't sell them. *haiz* Anyway, dad bought quite alot of stuffs from there.

After that, we went to a Vietnamese restaurant nearby for our dinner. Hmm, the food there is okie.. but it's kind of far from our place. We passed by the University of Arizona while on the way to the market.. Wah!! It's really very big.. so many times larger than NYP. How i wished i could study there. *hahah* But too bad.. the undergraduate program needs 4 yrs to complete but i'm going to be here for only 2 yrs. So, got no choice but to study short courses at Pima College. Then, i'll go back sg and study SMU. But dunno whether they will accept me anot. Coz my overall grade for the whole of 3 yrs is Band2(70-80%). That's y i can't get in NUS/NTU since they only accept the top 10% of all the polytechnic students in sg. They only accept Band1 students.. those with As and few Bs. *haiz* Me cannot make it. *sad sad*

I'm tired now.. Will blog more tml. Looking forward to tml's birthday party and Sunday's trip to Phoenix.

Lazing @ Home

2005-01-13T23:55:00.000-07:00

Hey everyone, today i'm a good girl leh.. didn't go shopping. *hahaz* Stayed at home the whole day. Hmm.. what did i do today? Help my mum to iron some clothes.. only t-shirts. Coz i dunno how to iron the pants. *hahaz* But it's better than nothing leh. After that, i wrote all the Valentine's Day cards for my friends in Singapore. Who exactly did i give those cards? Hmm, let me recall.. Andrew, Damien, Gerald, John and Kelvin. Yeps.. only 5 of them. Will be going to the post office tml morning to mail off all the cards. On top of all these, i also made a small bottle of white and blue paper roses for Christopher. Just wanna thank him for everything. Really appreciate it.

Looking forward to tml's trip to the Asian Market with Chris and his parents. I haven't been to the market for a long time.. will be going there to take a look and will let u all know tml. Stay tune to my blog tml. *wink*

Shopping @ Hallmark

2005-01-13T00:59:00.000-07:00

Today's weather is sunny but it's still very cold coz of the wind. Despite the cold weather, mum and i still went to Hallmark, Target and Fry's. Guess how long i spent in Hallmark.. A whole 2 and a half hours in that store! Haha. Unbelievable right? *hahaz* Another unbelievable thing: I spent more than a hundred dollars when converted to sg currency. But this amount also includes the candles that i bought for my mum. I'm very happy today.. hehe. Bought Valentine's Day cards for my good friends and brother. Actually wanna buy CNY cards but then on second thought, i didn't buy them since CNY and Valentine's Day is near each other. So i might as well give them the Valentine's cards. Hmm.. i also bought 2 perpetual calendars.. hehe. They are very nice. I like them.

Tml will be a busy day for me. Cos i need to write all the Valentine's cards as i need to mail them off by this fri. *haiz*

Movie - Meet the Fockers

2005-01-12T00:56:00.000-07:00

Watched 'Meet the Fockers' @ Foothills Mall this afternoon. It's a really funny show although got those sexual jokes. But it's still okie lah. Overall, it's a nice show and i enjoyed it. It's been a long time since i last watched a movie. Thanks to Christopher. *haha* The movies here are cheap.. only US$5.50 for movies before 5pm on weekdays. But if convert to sg dollars, it's still abit ex.

After the movies, mum and I went to 'Linens N Things' and bought some bottles, hand towels, etc. Hmm, spent about 23bucks today. Actually wanna buy the Levis skirt but don't have my size.. haiz.. size1 is too big for me. It's cheap leh.. only 14.99!

Oh ya, Auntie Juliet fried some eggs with sausages for us.. it's very nice. *Thanks*

Bowling

2005-01-11T00:51:00.000-07:00

This afternoon went bowling with Christopher, Auntie Juliet and Uncle Anthony and I really enjoyed myself. This is the 1st time i have ever went bowling in my life. Thanks to them that i'm able to pick up a few tips. I was doing quite okie for the 1st game but then for the 2nd game, i did terribly bad. *sob sob* Never mind, i will master the game one day. *hahaz*

After the game, we went Tucson Mall coz Chris wanted to buy something from JC Penny. *hahaz* I took the opportunity to go there and shop. Spent about 10bucks today. Actually wanted to buy handbags coz there's a sale at JC Penny but didn't see any that i like.

Hehe.. i'm really very happy today. Tml going for movies with Chris and Auntie Juliet.. heheh.. can go out again.

1st church service in Tucson

2005-01-09T21:35:00.000-07:00

Woke up early this morning to go church. Hmm, it's really different from the church i attended in sg. The environment, songs sung and the service are different. In the church, it's all chairs whereas in my sg church, it's all benches. The worship songs are more towards the high-note types. But one thing is definitely better is that the service here is more interesting.. it's like watching a movie. Back in my sg church, the service is more formal and the pastor will not joke around.

After church service at abt 12.10pm, we went to Foothill Mall to nhave our lunch and take a look at those shoes in the outlet stores there. Saw a pink high-heel shoe at Famous Footwear and it's cheap! Only US$12.99. *hahaz* Will be going to the Famous Footwear store near my home to take a look. Coz the pink boots that i wanna buy at BX is sold out. *haiz* Nvm, think i will be able to find something that i like in other stores. hehe. I love buying clothes and shoes.

Shopping Trip

2005-01-09T00:22:00.000-07:00

Wah!! I spent too much $$ today again. Hmm.. went to library, Tucson mall and Michaels. Let me calculate.. i've spent US$27.40. On top of that, i still gave my mum 20% of the household items and the things that she bought at 99cents store. Cos i'm getting the same weekly allowance as my mum. In sg, my dad only gave me 50bucks. *hahaz* My dad told his colleagues that he agreed to give me US$100 per week or else i'll not have agreed to come to Tucson with him. *hahaz*

Very happy today. Cos i went shopping.. *hehe* Got new friends in my home now.. mum bought Pooh and Mickey Mouse. *yeah* Hmm, i borrowed 5 storybooks from the library today.. hopefully i will be able to finish all of them. Initially, i was surprised that i'm able to loan out 25 items.. it's like 'WOW'. In sg, we can only borrow a maximum of 4 books only.

Hmm.. must really think what course i wanna study at Pima College. Haiz.. it's like so difficult to choose. Nvm, me going to DM Air Base tml to buy foodstuffs as well as to look at the pink boots that i liked. *heheh* Daddy promised me to bring me there to buy that pair of boots.

A Tiring Day

2005-01-08T00:54:00.000-07:00

Today is a very tiring day for me. I woke up about 8.50am.. almost late for my 9.30am shopping appointment with Auntie Juliet. But luckily i still managed to make it on time after taking breakfast and bath. Mum, Auntie Juliet and myself went to the 99cents store and bought lots of things from there. I spend about US$10. *hahaz* My mum spent 3 times more than me but this is due to my supervision of telling her to exempt some of the unnecessary things. Or else the damage done will be much more.. hmm.. maybe around US$40. *hahaz* So it's thanks to me.

We came back around 12.10pm. Went to Auntie Juliet's house to take a look. Wow.. Guess what i saw there? There's a set of the McDonalds hello kitties and the seven dwafts. I like those seven dwafts.. they are very cute. I remembered my 2nd auntie also has a collection of all the seven dwafts but they were in a smaller version. After that, i got home around 12.20pm. Had instant noodles for lunch coz in a rush of time for another appointment. Hmm, sounds that i'm a busy person right? *hahaz* No lah, it's only for today. I'm usually at home reading storybooks, surfing internet and the tv channels.

Don't worry, this time round is not another shopping trip. It's a trip to Pima College. Auntie Juliet's son, Christopher offered to drive me there and take a look since he's going there to buy books. Wow, the journey from my place to the school is quite far. I took the Pima College catalog home and wanna take a look to see which courses i intend to study. Hmm, took a look at the business course and found out that almost all the modules i have already studied in NYP. So dad said maybe i can take a few short courses such as sociology and music to pass time. Oh ya, i bought a book(101 Poems to get you through the day and night) from the Pima College bookstore. Hmm.. i think i've spent about US$30 today. Haha.. i haven't even started buying clothes yet. I miss buying clothes in Singapore. *haiz*

Wow.. didn't know that time pass so fast.. now is already past midnight. Ok lar, better go to bed now or else can't wake up early to chat with my bro and Damien. Good Night!

A decent blog entry

2005-01-06T11:44:00.000-07:00

I took a look at my blog and find that i'm abit lazy. *hahaz* Practically didn't have anything to see except for the layout of the webpage. Had been spending time adding those stuffs on my blog and helping my mum dedcorate her blog till i haven't got the time to blog sth decent.As I'm writing this, the outside temperature is about 5oC. That's freezing cold! Ok, let me start by blogging something which I happened to find on the website. Yesterday, while I was checking if my old blog @ blogspot is still around, I came across a blog and was quite sad after reading it. *To the author of the blog: So sorry that i read it without your permission. You must be strong, okie? Everything will be alright soon. As my old saying, everyday is a new beginning. So, don't brood over the matter too much. I'm sure you will be able to find someone who appreciates and loves you as much as you love her one day. Good Luck and All the Best to You! *wink* Below is a poem for you.*

..::Sometimes, It's Best to Let Something Go and Begin Again::..

Things happen in our lives that we find hard to accept.
Thoughts come back to trouble us time and time again.
When something happens in our lives
that we find difficult to accept,we must decide if there is anything
we can do to change things.
If there is, we must do
what we can to make things right again.
But if we have done all we can,
and we know in our hearts that there
is nothing more we can do about it now,
then we should let go of whatever is troubling us.

After going over all the "what ifs" and "whys,"
we may learn a valuable lesson.
And we find that even though it was painful,
we grew through the experience.
Just learning to let things go,
rather than worrying about what might have been,
might eventually be worth even more
than whatever it is we had to let go of.

Initally i thought he's a Japanese but while reading halfway, i found out that he's also a Singaporean. I'm glad coz i miss all my Singaporean friends. To all my friends out there: I miss all of you! But not to worry, i'll be back in 2 years time. Keep in contact, okie? *wink* A piece of good news to my brother and friends in Singapore: Most likely, i'll be going back to Singapore this Nov for 3 months to celebrate next year's Chinese New Year.
