So timely. It's the last day of August and I was craving for Magnum. So boyf & I went arounf searching for places that has the 1-for-1 deal. Found it at some random 7-11 near his place. Bought 4 sticks because offer ends today! :D




Tried the hazelnut one and it's soooo good! Love the smooth creamy texture. Tastes abit like kinder bueno filling. So satisfying! :D

I love heart-to-heart talks with sis Meh. She never fails to cheer me up and shower me with lots of love, and encouragement. Thank you sis! You know I can't live without you!


So last night, the boyf & I had a Q&A session. I asked him questions which I have been pondering over the whole day, and he dutifully replied. He is such an eloquent speaker that I can't help but he convinced by his explanations.


It suddenly dawned on me that I'm in a relationship and it's gonna change my life. Prior to this, it was all lovey-dovey and sweet like candy floss (not complaining; we're still happily in love), but now we're slowly unveiling our true selves. So vulnerable to have your weaknesses all laid out in the open, but that's what love is all about. No point hiding, no point packaging yourself in pretty pink paper with a cute ribbon. You are who you are.


It's beginning to feel so real, and I'm happy about it.


I'm actually paranoid about perpetual nice-ness, because let's face it, no one can be nice all the time. I don't believe anyone can be nice without a motive reason. I keep telling myself - this is too good to be true.


I remember a few months ago, I was telling sis Meh about Dennis being too nice. So nice that I couldn't stand it. I ask myself over and over again, why is this guy so super nice? I'm like living in a fairytale. Too perfect isn't good.


Now that we're 4 months into this relationship, reality starts to creep in. It's making me think a whole lot more. I've been reflecting on my behaviour, thoughts, perceptions, expectations, etc. I'm making good progress, even though my brain's about to explode. But all is good, and it will get better.


I love you, baby! (:

Is it unreasonable for me to be upset?


I rushed to school after the convocation because I thought the boyf was alone during his break time. (That, and the fact that I have lecture at 2pm which I later decided not to attend.) But that's beside the point.


The point is, I rushed to school, only to find that he was attending some talk, without telling me in advance. Maybe it was wrong of me to assume that he wasn't doing anything at break time. But I don't want to be a stalker girlf who demands to know her boyf's whereabouts every second.


So it ends up, I was alone at school instead. Plus, I didn't bring any notes/reading materials so I was practically stoning in the study room for 40 minutes. I think I'm quite patient & don't mind waiting for things/people that are worth the wait. But sometimes, it can get boring. The boyf finally reached our meeting place (Biz canteen) at 2plus.


Obviously I was sulking. But I told him - forget it, I've exhausted all my anger, so I have none left to be mad at you.


To which he replied - that's good, must keep it that way ok?


FML.


After lunch, I was contemplating whether to go home since I've nothing better to do, but I wanna spend more time with him. So he suggested I crash his seminar-style lecture. Sounds like a plan! Except that throughout the seminar, he was so absorbed fiddling experimenting with his MacBook. I was practically non-existent ):


Wasn't expecting him to talk to me all the time, but at least entertain me a bit lah?


Halfway through the lecture, there was a 10-minute break. I couldn't take the boredom freezing air-con room any longer, so I decided to go home. Even had to request for him to walk me out, because we were located at some ulu part of the school.


So sad.


Little things like these matter so much to me, but not so for him. Am I asking for too much? Honestly am I??

L's farewell dinner at Fatboy's The Burger Bar. Not sure why I was invited since I'm no longer with the company. But anyway, had to show face. Dined at this burger bar at Upper Thomson. The portions were crazy huge. I couldn't even finish half my share. So anyway, here are some pictures. The rest are up on FB, and will be up soon on my food blog. Can't wait to launch it!

#1203.

Very late dinner 'cause we mugged for the whole afternoon. By the time we left the study room, all the stalls were already closed so we had no choice but to eat cup noodles. This brand of milk tea rocks. And so does my adorable boyf (:

#1202.

I was the self-appointed photographer for the NUS Bboy Club Welcome Session today! :D It was so much fun. I was shocked at the turn out. There were about 30-40 people? Wow. It's amazing. Considering that certain people did not do their job (sticking posters around the campus). I guess people who are really interested would've went ahead to find out more about the club anyway.


This is the poster which I designed.




I think it's quite nice. The colours seem to complement very well. But the perspective was wrong 'cause I cropped the bboy into the alley. But still, I'm pleased (:


Here are some of the photos I took. The rest are up on FB 'cause I'm lazy to upload the same thing twice.


Trying to demo some moves.


Girls spotted!


Warming up...


Omg almost all of them can do Baby Freeze.


I thought this shot was cool. Boyf doing some head thing :P


Ok that's all! May the club grower bigger and better each year!

#1201.

My second successful kite-flying attempt at Marina Barrage! This time was with the Animals - perfect full attendance (:




The wind was good, the weather was awesome (though the sun was a tad too strong) so we had a great time with the kites. And guess who we saw?




Yup, I think he was there for some YOG event. We played some monopoly card game and snacked on chips & sandwiches. A pity I had to leave early for Roger's birthday dinner. So... Group picture!




The boyf was so patient to wait for me while I made my way out of Barrage. We missed the shuttle bus just as we were walking out. Anyway, by the time we reached Suntec, it was already nearly 8pm. And the boys have yet to decide on what to eat! Tsk. How can boys be so fickle minded too??


We went inside Tony Roma for 5 minutes and came out. Because we figured it was beyond our budget. Decided to dine at Astons instead. But as usual, there was a queue. By the time we got a seat, it was close to 9pm. Damn hungry.


Happy Birthday Roger! (:



Too hungry to take more pictures.

#1200.

Today's a special day cos it's the 100th day that the boyf & I are together! Ya, I actually counted -.- We spent the lazy Saturday afternoon watching 'Castaway On The Moon'. And after that, cooked JJM for dinner! I cannot believe it, I actually know how to fry a sunny side up! (:


This is kinda like an artsy film which I didn't really enjoy. It's nice nonetheless (: Inspired us to cook JJM!

#1199.

Phoebe texted me during lunch today - "Omg darling u & Dennis tgt how long alr??"

HAHAHA.

Yay thankyou facebook (:

#1198.

Happy 3rd monthsary sweetheart! ♥


The boyf cooked super yummy dinner last night and I was excused to do the dishes because it was for our 3rd month! He is so sweet (: I love simple home-cooked meals the most.


-


We had a short lunch meet-up with Jason & Phoebe yesterday and I bet they were both itching to ask the question. Haha.


Jason: Eh why you & Dennis so close ah?

Me: Cannot close meh?

Jason: There is something going on that I don't know right?

Me: Har? *gives innocent look* No lah...

Jason: Oh means not yet lah?

Me: *runs away*

Jason: Wah why so scared till must run away?

*

Phoebe: Ehh, are you all...?

Boyf: Are we what?

Phoebe: Uh, you both got nothing on later right?

Boyf: Yup no more lessons.

Phoebe: So good...


Seriously, I think it's damn hard to tell your ex-group members. But I guess they'll know it sooner or later. We shall see! Heh.


-


And omg! The boyf can be so irritating sometimes! We were sitting at Business Canteen yesterday while lunching with Phoebe, when Beatrice walked past. So I briefly mentioned to the boyf she's a pretty model.


Guess what he did!! He kept saying (super loudly) 'Beatrice', 'Pretty', 'BonitoChico', etc, when she was only seated like 2 tables away from us. GG TTM!!!


Like that's not bad enough, Beatrice's friend happened to be boyf's friend! And he came over to talk to the boyf. And boyf kept telling him I'm a fan of Beatrice and I know her blogshop and her personal blog. FML. Really feel like strangling him at that time!! Thankfully she didn't hear us, or pretended not to. Either way, it was a good thing.


-


Today, I got intimidated by boyf's JC classmates. He wanted me to tag along while he went into the restaurant to say hi. There were like 12 (or more) good-looking, smart-ass people seated at a round table staring back at me. So scary can!! Thank goodness we didn't have to stay long cos we need to rush to the airport. But still... eeeks! |:

This is really a test to our relationship, but I'm glad you're not giving up sweetie. It's back to the same issue regarding my super conservative dad, and how he cannot grapple the fact that I'm in love with a boy. I struggled with myself with such a long time before mustering enough courage to ask the question, and prayed very very hard for a positive reply. Obviously my prayers were in vain. I was so upset that I cried. Uncontrollably. I cried so hard that I thought I would choke on my tears.


I wasn't in the right state of mind, so I told the boyf that he would be better off without me. Blah, blah, blah. I was so foolish. I kept saying things I don't wish to say. It was so tormenting.


"You're not me so you don't know what I want. I just want you, so stop trying to tell me you're not good enough for me. Don't even think about it. Because if you do, you're gonna start doing things to prove your point. You will try to make yourself useless and worthless, just to show I deserve another girl. This is a scary thing."


My heart aches terribly when things like this happens. Because I love you so much.

#1196.

Chatting with you on MSN tonight brings back fond memories. Memories of when we were still project mates, maybe because we were discussing 'work' stuff. You sounded busy / less affectionate? Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining. In fact, I'm happily reliving the good ol' times (:


Which reminds me, tmr we're meeting Jason & Phoebe for lunch. Our ex-project mates. I wonder how we're gonna break the news to them. They'd most probably stare at us wide-eyed, jaws dropped, and go 'OMG!'


Today the boyf had lessons with Phoebe, & I bumped into Jason after school. Both of them are our FB friends but none of them suspected anything. That dumb Jason even asked 'Phoebe & Dennis scandal ah?' lol. I was like 'uh... huh... no la...'


Totally lost for words!


Ok I'm gonna go back to Photoshop. Need to get boyf's club's poster done by tonight! Can't wait for the weekends. I'm gonna try and blog all the backdated entries! Good night people :D

#1195.

Day 1 of school was awesome even though I was 30 minutes late for a 45 minutes lecture. And guess what I was doing for the remaining 15 minutes? Busy catching up with Pearline, and scribbling random notes. It feels good to have a friend in school. Seriously.


Popped by Central Library to look for Kathy & Yvonne during break time, while I waited for boyf for lunch (:


Got lost while trying to find my way to the library from School of Engineering (what's new?). Boyf brought me to Music Library after lunch. That place is so peaceful & quiet & empty! Perfect for mugging.


And otw home, I witnessed the torch relay at Tampines! Not that I'm fascinated by the buses or the crowd or the torch bearers, but it's not every day where you get to see things like that. Haha. Snapped some photos using my lousy phone.

#1194.

School is starting tmr, and I'm kinda looking forward to it. Probably because it'll be my last 13 weeks at the University. So I'm gonna make sure I treasure every moment as a student. After all, we can never turn back time (:


I almost forgot today's National Day until I boarded the bus to boyf's place. I was greeted by a sea of red. Haha. 90% of the passengers were dressed in national colours making their way to wherever there were celebration.


Had dinner while watching NDP with boyf's family (: And I even caught a glimpse of fireworks from his house! After we were done washing up, we made ourselves comfortable and watched '3 Idiots'. Don't be fooled by the fact that it's a Bollywood film with a lame title. This 164-minutes show is surprisingly inspiring and heart-wrenching. Even the boyf teared, what do you think? (:


Highly recommended. Go watch it if you have the time!

#1193.

Sis Ting's housewarming party today! :D It's so awesome to live with the person you love, in your own cozy little house. I can't wait for my turn! Haha.




Headed to sis Meh's house after that to prepare to go to Davian's & Claudette's birthday party! Super love those cutie pies, even though Claudette always cries / hides when she sees me ):


Playing with little kid tires me out. I'm getting old!! /: Nevertheless it was great fun. Claudette managed to warm up to me after a while, and I even got to play cars with her! :D 2 new friends - Kaylene & Kendra. Super cute, bth!




If I can't find a job after graduation, I don't mind baby-sitting. Hahaha. Oh gosh I'm crazy!

#1192.

Yayness! I'm beginning to enjoy hanging out with boyf's gang :D Super fun-loving people. The things GLK say/do are exceptionally funny. I can't help but laugh out loud. Damn unglam |:


The main purpose of today's gathering is to meet up with Thianrui (who's an undergrad at Cambridge medicine) before he returns back to UK. Gosh, all the boys are so smart!




Apparently, GLK stole the limelight by attempting the Giant Yankee Burger Challenge at New York New York. Hahaha. It's $40 for the burger (meant for 4). But if you can finish it in 1 hour (all by yourself), they'd give it to you for free! Plus some other dessert, etc.


Seriously, the burger is crazyyyyy huge! And there were like over 200 fries. Ya, we sorta counted.



After an hour, GLK gave up and brought the plate of leftover fries to us. It was insane!! Even the 10 of us couldn't finish it. I wonder how did the person (who topped the list) did it in 20 minutes. He must be a hippo, or something.


Prior to the dinner, boyf & I were at *SCAPE, to support Jaye at his performance. He's such a great singer/songwriter :D My favourite song - Live Free!!

#1191.

Met the girls for dinner and we decided to try this Nonya Cafe, since it was cheap (for buffet). The variety was very limited but the quality of the food was surprisingly good. We had a hard time deciding which dish didn't pass our 'taste test'.




The Mee Siam was nice :D Aimee & Peisi had 2 bowls each. The Lontong had too much coconut milk in it. Eeeks. The meats were good! Samosa, yam cake, and all the other finger food were ok. Tasted pretty decent. The kuehs are their specialty I guess.


Despite all the good reviews, the girls & I think we wouldn't go back there again. Once is enough (:


We had nothing better to do later that evening. Wanted to go KTV but the price was ridiculous at $30 nett per person. We were such good girls, we headed home (:

The boyf says I'm not street smart. He's not wrong. I am gullible. People can take advantage of me easily and I probably won't even know. I give my number to random strange man. I know it's my fault and I deserved to be harassed. But I want to be comforted. To know that I can always hide behind a shield, but boyf insists he'll leave me to die. Only then will I learn to be independent, because he can't always be there to look out for me. It's a fact.


I'm timid by nature. I don't even dare to speak up for others, not even for myself. I don't dare to go against people's wishes. Yeh I'm cowardly like that. It's just... in me. I can't 'rebel' without being guilt-ridden. I know it's bad. Maybe it's due to the environment I'm brought up in. Sad, but true. I will try to change.

Ok now to happy stuff! I successfully bidded for ACC1002X! It's the only module I managed to bid for this semester. Haha so pathetic. The other 2 core modules were pre-allocated. And I need to appeal for the remaining 2.


Tmr I'll be taking MC so it's unofficially my last day at work today. Yippee! This job is way too stressful as a proper career. I'm so glad to be back being a student. I must remind myself to enjoy school when it starts (:

#1188.

Nothing beats eating BKT on a cold, rainy Sunday evening. What's more it's stewed with love by boyf's mum (: And we tried making avocado smoothie and berry smoothie after dinner. So much fun. And the drinks turned out great too! Photos are kinda dark & blur, because taken by iPhone. LOL.
