Christmas 2008

Christmas 2008 wasnt like before.

honestly, i wasnt looking forward to it at all…. yarr.

maybe it’s cause i didnt expect anything from it and wasnt anticipating anything thus, everything turn out to be rather enjoyable. everything was rather importu.

initially, MrBF and i tot we won’t have a chance to have a Christmas dinner together either on the eve due to the svc i had to meet friends and on the actual day itself coz we have a birthday party to attend. thus, decided to meet on 23dec in town to soak ourselves in the Christmas mood and to have a nice meal together. him being sick, decided to have something light so we had dintaifeng. yeah, i like.

the food was nice as usual but i tink they serve too fast alr. thus, the food were cold by the time we finish eating them.
then, MrBF still took a photo with a pretty model dressed an angel on the street. haha~~ he must be quite happy. yeaps, then we walked down the streets, strolling though the decorations and stopping now and then for conference calls.

but but in the end, on the eve itself, i was asked not to go down to expo as the svc is alr very packed. however, i alr borrowed the car so we decided to go somewhere inaccessible by public transport. we went to raffles marina, a yacht club just beside the tuas checkpoint. had out 2nd dinner feast of the yr there. too bad it was drizzling if not, we can have a nice stroll by the jetty. it’s a very nice, secluded and quiet place to be at on Christmas eve, with very nice views of yachts lining up by the railings and the 2nd link. i kinda like such place, i dislike crowds.

yeaps, had steak, chicken wings and a very nice cheese naan.

anyways, this christmas just felt different.

then on boxing day, went to chinatown to k with about 10 of my cg members. loong loong time nvr sing song alr, was pretty enjoyable too.

i guess i really learnt that i shldnt be so cynical and critical about things in my life. be less a control freak and just let life flow as it is supposed to be then i will enjoy life more.

i make plans and God shall direct my paths.

Exams + Post Exams

exams this time round was ok, at least i only had one module.
i can be really focused on that and give all out for it.
i did pretty ok, managed to pull up my cap more than i expected. those were tough times in the family though but i held on to the promises of God and trusted in His strength.

right after the paper, i went to holland v’s mexician restaurant then to Häagen-Dazs to celebrate and chill

then after exams, which also marks the end of my internship in Philips the next day…

then were a serials of post-exam, post-intern “celebrations” by ourselves at

bugis and westcoast plaza
fish&co, b&j (yeahness, both my fav)

then a saturday at sentosa and changi airport
my long awaited bakerzin and the battle with tigerair

it was a time of ups and downs for us though.
things won’t smooth even though exams were over and when we thought everything will be much more relaxing and we will have the time of the world to go pah tuo
lotsa expectations of a good holiday or rest ahead were broken, fell to nought….

i didnt even haf time to enjoy slacking times before thanksgiving and Christmas comes our way…

here’s some photos of the thanksgiving event our cg organised, i don have majority of them as they are no taken by jh’s cam. and also some photos of the games cum decor comm when we meet up.

the gingerbreadman is baked by cx, so sweet. felt so blessed by her act and see her grow.

the day we overcame

no matter whatever it’s the outcome.
no matter how much we have to lose out in the end.
the whole process is worth it.
worth all the money lost.
lesson learnt.

our r/s also went to the next level.
we overcame an obstacle together.
we used to be defeated with problems that come our way.
feeling doubly stress and guilty.
but we know there’s really no use to hold this kind of negative feeling.
focus on what we have now and the things that can be done and that we can control.
working together, we learnt, i felt we had grown up and had a breakthrough.

we complement each other in so many ways.
however, are so similar in lots of ways.
hmmmz, ironic.

a day worth rmbing. 15.

hip diner USA

haha, i noe i will kick myself for wasting my time blogging here, so much more to memorise!

bleahs, dont care!

went to hip diner USA for dinner 3 weeks ago. it’s a restaurant under Billy Bombers.

had Fried Honey Chix, snail sausage set and of course, billy bomber’s signature milkshake.

Fried Honey Chix was tasteless, i prefer KFC or popeye. we ordered that coz it was 1 for 1 on that day. they should put more honey.

Snail Sausage was displayed at their entrance and looked super attractive so we ordered. it comes with a spicy snail sausage, a cheese sausage, mashed potato and a corn. every main was served with sweer corn. it’s pretty unique, first time trying a snail sausage, a special kind of spicyness that u wont get from the common sausages u get elsewhere.

my favourite for that night was still the milkshake, super solid, yummylicious. it’s only difference from Billy Bombers is that if you are in Billy Bombers, the waitress will shake the milkshake in front of u and then pour into ur glass after that. in Hip Diner, they don’t. taste-wise, it’s comparable. it was also 1 for 1 with my singtel student discount.

slacked and chichat after that. the waiters and waitress are super quick and enthu about clearing our plates, we were think if they are paid accordingly to the plates they return to the kitchen… haha…

bleahs, i looked super tired after a long day of work.
