I've been sending letters to my dearest every month and the average delivery time is about 8 working days. But this month, the postman seemed to be incredibly lazy! ):

I mailed the package out on 3-Nov, expecting it to arrive on 14-Nov, but there were no signs of delivery on that day. I was quite upset & thought the mail got lost.

I even hinted the boyf to check his mailbox and he replied "nope nothing". I was super duper sad cos this month's package was special! Imagine my relief when he texted me on the morning of 24-Nov "see what arrived baby!!"


WAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

H a p p y n e s s.

I really really thought the mail got lost and wanted to cry already. Thank goodness it was just a delay!

Anyway, here's what's so special about this month's package! It not only has my monthly love letter, I also enclosed 3 gummies & a beanie for him!


I thought about sending a whole pack of baby's favourite gummies to him but shipping alone costs twice the amount of the pack of sweets /: So I cleverly picked 3 and hid them under the beanie. Hur hur.

And boyf with the beanie! :D


P/s. I'm thinking of changing the layout of my blog but no inspiration. So I added a countdown widget on the right. Hahaha small change better than no change!! #selfconsolation

Ever since the boyf introduced me to Pinterest 6 weeks ago, I've been hooked on it! It has almost became a daily affair for me to log onto Pinterest and see what cool stuff are pin-worthy.

Here's a snapshot of my board.



It's similar to Tumblr but I find Pinterest more useful as you can categorize your pins into boards. I have 12 boards at the moment. Here's 2 of my favourite:

This is dedicated to boyf; includes all the stuff we could do when we're bored, all the words I missed out to say to him, all the thoughts & feelings.



And this is for my creative needs! Some of these ideas are pure genius!


Cool or what? There's lots of nifty craft ideas, home tips & tricks, and creative storage solutions. Super amazing! Everytime I'm on Pinterest, I feel that my creative juices are running wild.

Ok, back to pinning (:

Yoohoo people! It's the Thanksgiving & Black Friday period so that spells fun & shopping!!! I'll blog about the recent 2D1N camp in a bit, but for now, it's crazy sale time :D

I wrote down a list of stuff I like for the boyf to go shopping on my behalf. But boys being boys, he decided it was way too crowded and went back home instead. Indeed, there were barricades all around and long queues were already forming outside the malls at midnight. It's crazy how people behave. You have to see it to believe it!



Even it's for free, I wouldn't go shopping like this!!!

Anyway, boyf and I decided to go shopping at the comfort of our own homes. Alot of the sale pages were not available outside of the States, so I got boyf to share his screen with me & we went online shopping. Hehe super duper fun!! :D

In all, we only spent USD 134.59 (inclusive of shipping & taxes) for 14 items!!! :D

There were 4 tops, 3 outerwears, 2 pants, 2 caps, 2 skirts & 1 dress. Can't wait for our loots to arrive. Hope ya'll have a great weekend!

With love xoxo.

My boyf just called me a while ago to say how lucky he is to have to me, because I'm a very special girl. I'm so glad I could be The Best Girlf to him (: It was a random/sudden realization because 2 of his friends at the NOC Program broke up with their girlfs recently. He said to me "you know, I'm scared one day I'll be so busy that you wanna leave me".

I told him I won't ever do that! And that a break-up would probably come with a warning first. Hahaha. I'm proud to say I'm a supportive girlf to my baby and hope we continue this way for the next 8 months apart. It wasn't easy and it's definitely not going to be. Nobody ever said it was, but it will be worth it.

Cheers to our love sweetheart! xx

Today marks one-and-a-half-years with my boyf, and I just want to say that I'm more in love with him than ever (: 18 months is not exceptionally long, neither is it just a blink of an eye. Like all relationships, there were ups and downs. And at every obstacle we face, we grow & learn more about each other. It's such a blissful feeling to be in love, to have someone by your side to share your happiness, to have a shoulder to cry on, to have a listening ear to your rants. I really appreciate you tons baby! Happy monthsary! (:

I kept procrastinating watching Rainie's drama because once it's over, I die a little inside. But since I've gotten hold of The Big Bang Theory Season 4 & Gossip Girl Season 4, I feel that I can afford to finish this drama serial!

LOVE YOU
醉後決定愛上你

★★★★★

Some say it's a sequel to the highly raved Fated To Love You, but I don't see the link except that in this drama, Rainie got drunk & find herself married when she's sober. Hahaha. Some parts are super draggy but otherwise a very entertaining serial! :D I gave it a 5-star rating probably because I'm biased :P

More pictures!


Ok hope you guys had a great Sunday! Mine was awesome even though there were awkward moments while lunching with boyf's family earlier today. It's a challenge to myself & I'm proud to say I've overcame it! Kudos :D

I was surfing on Pinterest when I came across this beautiful camera project, so I clicked on it and it got me here:

http://dreamieland.wordpress.com

Guess who???

It's Merdrey! She was my teacher/ instructor at one of the scrapbooking classes I attended with sis Meh. I was hopping with excitement at stumbling upon her blog that I can't stop reading page after page. It's such an adrenaline rush reading through something which you're so passionate about.

I guess that's how baby feels when he surfs funk music stuff & bboy-ing goodies! (:

Anyhow, I was really inspired by this entry. She said & I quote:

"I was fortunate to be invited to the CHA Summer show
just last week together with Elaine and Cynthia from
Laine’s Papeterie & PaperMarket (where I work full-time)
and it was a fruitful experience. Just a year ago, I was
still sitting in my office chair wondering how great it would be
if I could make a living out of what I love – crafting
and scrapbooking. With God’s grace, I’m now living my dream.
And for that record, I believe that you can to.
What would you be doing now, if you had the opportunity?"

Oh gosh - it speaks what I feel! Sis Meh and I often discussed about how good it would be if we could open a small cafe or spend time doing what we love - baking & scrapbooking, yet not to worry about our finances. It would really be like a dream come true! One day, we shall summon the courage to do what we love too. Life is short - take the leap of faith! (:

I'm getting the jitters from thinking about lunch tmr. Yes, I'm that nervous! But life shouldn't be all smooth-sailing. Hence I shall treat tmr as a challenge to myself! The more I'm scared of meeting them for lunch, the more I dread it & the more upset I feel. But if I challenge myself to overcome that fear, I would probably be darn proud of myself thereafter. Aja aja Qin! ^^

I can't wait to go for more scrapbooking classes after chancing upon Merdrey's blog. And I'm in the midst of making Christmas cards. There are so cute!! I hope my recipients like them (:

Hello on this significant date 11/11/11. This morning I went to take my BTT at CDC and guess what? I passed without studying! Damn lucky cos out of 50 questions, there were 7 questions which I wasn't sure of. I prayed hard & managed to get 5 wrong. The maximum number in order to pass. Must be because of my lucky PC station 11 that contributed to the overall lucky vibes.

Randomly walked into Snip Avenue on my way home and got a haircut. Now my fringe looks kuku but my sweetest boyf still said "wah baby you look so pretty!" after seeing my whatsapp kuku photo. Hahaha he knows how to make me happy.

This Sunday we are going to celebrate jie's birthday & I'm super scared + nervous maximum. Because I am never comfortable with boyf's family without him being around. The monthly lunch date with his parents are already awkward enough. I cannot imagine sitting with jie & grandma too ):

Please please please make it a short & simple lunch ):

While waiting for the food to arrive, Sha presented souvenirs from UK H&M! I super love the pens!

And now, food pictures to share! :D

Mediocre fries.

You can choose the kind of butter to accompany your pancakes. My favourite is the garlic & herbs.

Smoked salmon pancakes.

Garlic butter prawns - my fav of all the savoury pancakes!

Berries with vanilla ice-cream.
It was full house when we arrived (my bad for not making a reservation earlier) so we were given al freso dining option. It was pretty warm & we requested to be shifted indoors once there were seats. The very kind girl also helped take a photo with our food!

Shingzers for life - I really like this picture I took of them! Au natural.

We adjourned to The Society Cafe @ Plaza Singapura (sadly it has since closed down) after brunch for chill-out & photo-taking!

It was funny how all of us were seated together but were all busy with our phones. Tskkk!

Actually I think we were busy checking-in & commenting on each other's reply :P

The boyf joined us shortly after. We could use a polaroid photographer! :D


Chose 2 cakes for the birthday babe.

Happy birthday Sha! (:

Is it November already?!

Gosh, time is passing way too quickly for me to catch my breath. It's so contradicting that I want time to go slower so that I can accomplish more tasks, yet want it to zoom by so that I can be with my baby again (:

Recent happenings: I just recovered from fever of 37.8 degrees and it's the 2nd MC I had taken during my 8 months at work. I was super touched by boyf's concern all the way from the States. He called me a few times just to make sure I had company while at the doctor & on the way home. And when I woke up after 18 hours of sleep, he called to make sure I was feeling better before he went to bed (it was already 3AM his time!) Thank you baby, love you so much (':

My colleague's last day so we went out for dinner at Ion. Nobody reminded me to bring camera & being the forgetful me, I left it at home ): This is my bunch of closest colleagues now taken with iPhone/Blackberry - can't remember which.

That's me, Cher, Ying & Ling! Ling's last day already so it's left with the 3 of us!

So this marks my 8th month in my first job and I'm proud to say I'm growing & learning & accepting more responsibilities each day. Hopefully by the end of one year, I've got some accomplishments and if there are no opportunities of conversion to perm, I might find a new job! Aja aja! :D

*

Also celebrated Sabrina's 21st in a very subtle manner because her grandpa passed on just a day before. We were on part II of her room decoration yesterday and just as we were going off, her mummy read us a letter she wrote. It was so damn touching all of us starting tearing. Really. Damn. Touching.

I shall edit photos & update on this soon!

P.S. Coming week's gonna be a super short week cos tmr's a PH in-lieu and I'm taking leave on Friday! Awesomesauce! :D
