F.R.I.E.N.D.S

Thank God for those who are with me through the good and tough time.

I went to watch ‘The Guardian of the Galaxy’ alone on Thursday because I was kinda moody. And then it suddenly came to me that I should watch ‘The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles’ on Friday too. Since I cant be bothered to look for anyone to keep me accompany, so I decided to watch alone. Then, I received msg from JH asking me if I wanna meet him for dinner. So when I told him I’m going to watch the turtle movie, he say he will watch with me, so I booked the tickets again at The Cathay. And, I am happy to see him. After movie, Valerie called me and we met up at Plaza Singapura. Went to the acarde and I liked this Rilakkua because I think its too cute. Despite being lousy in the UFO catcher, he managed to get me one of this. Totally appreciate his effort to make me happy. After that, we went to Cineleisure, and Kelvin helped me to get the Brown on the toilet bowl. Been wanting that for quite sometime. The things that they did really made my day. I guess I would still be moody if they didnt meet me and turn my moody mood into a good one.

It’s Singapore 49th birthday today! Happy National Day everyone!

I spent my National Day with Kevin and his wife, Junie. Really thank them for having me over today. And also their very delicious dinner tonight. The steak, the wine and the root beer float! How can I not be happy?

They are definitely very good at cooking! See how my Guin Guin enjoyed himself?

I am doing good so far. I’m totally not upset over the fact that Wilson got a new gf. Because it’s definitely not my loss to leave him. I AM HAPPY and glad that I left him. I am no longer willing to be tied by this unhappy marriage. From this experience, I will learn and grow.

Why should I bother?

Right, the title and the content of this blog usually differs. This shouldn’t be a secret anymore.

One moment I was telling myself, why should I bother since I have already made the decision a few months ago. Then next moment I keep wondering, am I really that bad that he doesn’t love me anymore?

But then again, truth really hurts. Especially when my imaginations set in, it made things even worse. I started to ponder and question myself what went wrong. But obviously, our characters differs too much. And everything became worse. Both of us made a hasty decision to get married, and now we are gonna have our separate lives soon.

Then why made that decision in the first place?
Noone in the right mind would wanna get married and the next moment divorce comes into her mind. It happened to me a couple of times in the past few years and finally this divorce is taking place. It wasn’t really what I want it, but really its beyond my tolerance. I cannot be in a marriage when both of us seems to be living separate lives. He claimed he was trying to give me the freedom, but I say because he doesn’t love me. Any couple would wanna do things together regardless their differences. He said he doesn’t like my other group of friends, fine. What about those times that I was sick at home? He will go out with his friends. Even when I wish to sleep early, he will keep the lights on and then tell me that I can sleep with the lights on. And then unwillingly switch off the lights. Seriously, if I wanna have my so-called “freedom”, why do I wanna marry him in the first place? Being single, I will have all the freedom I want.

After Vday 2014, he took me for a Staycation at RWS (he insisted on having one), he went casino because he said I’m napping and promised to be back for dinner. I waited, called for room service and he only came back around 1plus am. And when I told him my unhappiness, he told me this is a one-time mistake. Seriously, I don’t buy this story. This is one mistake that he shouldn’t have made in the first place. Prior to that, he didn’t even bother to talk to me until we checked in.

Knowing that he doesn’t love me, and was trying to ‘keep’ this marriage, I am disgusted. One moment he was trying to ‘save’ this marriage, another moment he starts to agitate me with his nonsense. I should know it better.

To everyone, he is the person who wants to save this marriage and I’m the one who insisted on getting the divorce. Only God knows the truth.

Probably we are not ready for each other. This marriage happened for a purpose, I supposed.

Obviously my parents objected my decision to divorce. And for this, I resented them for pushing me too much. Of course I know they are trying to have my best interest. But by respecting me, is the greatest support of having my best interest.

I have been sitting in the park for a couple of hours, writing this entry. I am trying hard to keep clam. Its not easy to keep calm, especially being alone. Lucky, there are people who are willing to listen to my rants. All I need is a listening ears, why keep on rebuking me? It doesn’t make me feel better, it made me feel worse in fact. Sometimes I wondered who are my real BFF or do I even have one to begin with? When I cried a river, I will definitely feel better.

And no, I don’t regret my decision. I wish him all the best with his new gf. I just wished he is man enough to admit that he, too, doesn’t want this marriage anymore instead of pretending. I strongly believe if a man wish to keep his marriage, he wont have another gf as soon as I moved out his house or it probably started after I filed for divorce in April. Of course, I am not trying to be saint here. My biggest mistake is I spent too much money (which he loathes) and now, I am fighting within me. And most importantly, I gave him too much trust. Now then I realized why he kept forcing me to tell his parents and mine when I didn’t want to. And why he kept asking me how long the process will take and the house. He was trying to give the impressions to our parents that he tried to ‘save’ this marriage, and I am not willing to give him a chance.

Well, lets have hope for his next marriage and I really hope this time round he is not going to marry her just because she is another Christian girlfriend (probably a Christian, because he say same faith = same thinking). That’s what he has been saying to me, he married me because I am a Christian, not because he loves me. Same faith = same thinking. Sorry, most of the time I cannot bring myself to compromise to his weird and selfish thoughts.

And to those who came for my wedding, thanks for those well wishes. It just didn’t turn out the way it should be. Probably in the future I will take my own sweet time to decide on the man. This time round, it was rather impulsive, I would say.

The reason I’m upset is because I can’t believe I am with him for the past 5 years, wasting my precious youth. And came to know his true colors only now. I know I will have a better life without him once all things are settled, debts paid. I will learn from this lesson, never trust a man (a man who doesn’t does what he preach. A man of words) like him. Should have insisted when I first mentioned divorce in 2011. And I will open my eyes wider the next time if I ever gonna jump into marriage again.

And I have a sudden thought that once everything is settled, I do not want to stay here anymore.

You guys won’t understand, because it’s not meant for you to anyways. I just needed a space to rant, and this is my spot.

And oh, I didn’t know Wilson Teo and his gf were together for a few months until 2 – 3 days ago. God knows when this r/s of his started.

Wonderful memories of Arene Kuan

On this day, 20 December 2013, I shall remember for the rest of my life, one of my closest friend – Arene Kuan has passed away.

It came as a shocking news for me, as well as every other people who knew her too. Never thought this kind of news will come to us so soon. Too soon. Too soon till I couldn’t accept it. If I couldn’t accept it, I feel for them about how the rest of her family member dealt with this sudden death.

I first knew her when i started working in PSB Academy. We were in the same department, and very soon we were lunch kahkis along with Jeremy and a few others. Slowly, the number of people reduced to me, her and Jeremy. Then came along QY who registered as a student here, and GK who converted from P.T to F.T. Time passed so fast when I am with them. Then I got into a relationship with a fellow colleague whom I married too. Then she became my manager, so I report to her. She has been very kind and always willing to teach us things that we need to know, listening to my whatever things that I wanna say. During all these years, there are many important events of my life,  and she were there. Supporting me, giving me ideas. Nevertheless, she’s the best mentor and friend I ever have.

These photos were taken in 2009 when I first joined PSB Academy. Ah Bao was her newborn baby rabbit by one of her female rabbit who got pregnant after a staycation at a pet hotel. She really took great effort to take care of this little bunny which was tiny when I first carried him. And sad to mention, Ah Bao passed away last year.

She’s the easy going kind, but it doesnt necessarily mean that you can push your limits. She’s a nice lady, if you need help she will always be there to lend a helping hand.

Catherine’s Wedding | Jeremy’s birthday

11 January 2014 – Catherine’s wedding

Catherine, my ex-colleague from PSB Academy, got hitched!

I guess, everyone has one touching, unforgettable moment of their life. And I always find these 2 moments damn touching

1) Weddings 
From proposing, to wedding preparations to wedding speech. And I always find the wedding speech by the groom or the bride damn touching, never fail to make you tear. In the future, if my kids decided not to hold a wedding banquet, they should at least have a wedding party! Provided I have a kid.

2) Having your own kids
Although going through the labor part is tough, it’s a joy to welcome a new member to the family. A family is completed with kids. Kids bring joy to the house, although they can be really mischievous and drive you crazy!

Nevertheless, I am happy  that she found her happiness. 🙂 Have a blissful marriage, and have a baby soon! 😀

19 January 2014 – Jeremy’s Forever 24 Birthday!

It’s 老板’s birthday once again! It’s always a headache to think about what to buy for the person. And so, we got him a Samsung Note 10.1 2014 Edition.

Hope he finds it useful. 🙂

Now that Arene is no longer with us, it’s still so weird without her. 😦

Arene, we miss you!

25.08.2013 – Siblings day!

It was a pretty exciting weekend for me last weekend! Had our first outing at ECP – C.Y.C.L.E. But can you believe that none of the girls can cycle (except for FFM). 😛

Met up with them at Carl’s Junior and we had our brunch there as well.

Pretty little Estelle with style wearing my shades. Isn’t she adorable?

Does me and my sister look alike?

She came by and took a photo with me.

Alyssa, naughty monster who kept hitting my butt!

Since little Estelle is too young for bicycle, she will have her ride with her Daddy. 🙂

My brother and his gf. 🙂

After cycling for an hour, we went to Carl’s Junior to take a rest. Wanted to go prawning but Alyssa keeps whinning, so we changed the plan to bowling! 😀

My younger sister bowling for the first time.

Which I think this is our first time bowling as well! Hahah!

Yup. That’s us. Missing kor kor. He couldn’t come because it would be difficult for us to take of him since he can’t cycle and bowling was an impromptu thingy.

I hope there will be more activities like this in the future!

15 June 2013-Erica’s Wedding

image

image

Erica’s married! What a happy occasion! Met so Many people from BMI. Haven’t seen them for really long time!

image

Bought this new toy from P.S. This is one of the character from One Piece.

image

This toy belongs to this character named Perona. Shes the ‘ghost girl’. So when her spirit touches you, you will become depress. I like that ghostly thing.  After that we went for the long awaited Mayday concert!

image

image

The concert is simply awesome!  We were given the light stick which I think have the wireless technology. The light stick changes color along with the songs! Amazing right?  And the concert last for 3 awesome hours! TOTALLY in love with them! And I think their concert is definitely better than Jay Chou’s!

So long….

H’s been a long time since I last update this blog and here I Am again.. I still love to blog about my life.

Owl coffee

Staycation at Festive~

Last Friday started really well with free breakfast from Lawrence.

Different style of burger. And where did he bought it from? No idea. Perhaps I will ask him and post it here soon! That’s if I remember. 😛

Then it’s staycation time! This time round at Festive Hotel. 🙂

We reached RWS and register our stay at about 1pm, then we head off to look for this Malaysian Food Street located somewhere in RWS (it’s near the USS) because the room won’t be ready till 3p.m.

https://fbcdn-sphotos-g-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-snc7/386499_10151166197537807_451564219_n.jpg

Tried the prawn noodle. The soup is filled with the prawn’s fragrance.

After our lunch, we went to the S.E.A Aqarium to purchase the entrance ticket for the World’s Largest Oceanarium. LOL. We didn’t go since the ticket is valid for 6 months from the date of purchase and it would be a little rushing for us since Dearest will be heading to his company’s D&D around 6plus.

So it’s time for us to queue up at the counter to get our room! The queuing was pretty fast, since there are so many counters. So, the person was telling Dearest something and I couldn’t hear him but I heard the last sentence: “Free upgrade to suite for this time“. We were thrilled.

https://fbcdn-sphotos-h-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/179378_10151166266672807_329556205_n.jpg

The view of the room when we stepped in. Even the DOOR of the suit is damn big. Bigger than my house door. HAHA.

I sat there for my dinner while watching  MAMA (Mnet Asia Music Awards). 🙂

I was staring at the ceiling after feeling bored watching MAMA. LOL.

Time for room service for my dinner. 🙂 I was feeling so hungry because I was waiting for Super Junior, PSY’s performance and I refused to leave the room in case I miss their performance.

So overall, I enjoyed my stay at the Festive hotel. 🙂

MY birthday Celebrationsssss!

Celebrated my actual birthday with my family and my best friends! We went to Mitzuba located at Central, Clarke Quay, to have dinner.  Went there once with my friend and Dearest, and found their Sashimi is really thick! And I love thick thick sashimi! Bu maybe because I had my Gong Cha before dinner, thus I wasn’t feeling hungry. Geez. And having so many people to celebrate my birthday, I feel very blessed! Dearest couldn’t join us because he has to help out his grandma’s wake.

And silly me, I brought my camera out but then I have left it at the office so I didn’t managed to take any good photos.

The girls bought me this, Zutter Bind-It-All machine, for my birthday. Happy like a bird. 😛

————————————————————————–

Nevertheless, Dearest celebrated my birthday on Saturday! He brought me to Morton’s at Mandarin Oriental.

The service there is excellent. It’s just the steak that we ordered. Mine was a little salty one side, and the other a bit bland. Over all, it’s still alright. Maybe I would prefer Lawy’s since I have tried both. I prefer the one with sauce. 🙂

Happy birthday to ME~!

It was Isabelle’s first birthday last Sunday, and I attended the event with Alyssa. 🙂

She kept telling me “阿姨, 我要去JP的NTUC. 我要买鞋.” (Ah Yi, I want to go to JP’s NTUC. I want to buy shoes) for the whole day until the moment I bought for her. She’s so adorable. 🙂 Love her to the max. 🙂

BTW, did I mention about losing $200 on mahjong on Saturday night? :S I almost fainted when I counted the money.

———————————————————————————————————

Happy Birthday to myself! ^^ It’s my birthday today! And I’m damn happy and looking forward to dinner with my family and friends. 🙂

Happy family celebrated my birthday in advance last night. And I got my new iPad Mini, 16GB with LTE. The thing is, it’s not available in SG yet, so I have gotta wait patiently for 7th December to come. 🙂

Dearest celebrated my birthday on 12mn sharp. Very touch with he hold a plate of Stitch cakes to me with hand made card and a pair of new earrings. 🙂 He couldn’t join me with my family and friends because he has to help out at his grandma’s (mother side) funeral. She passed away on Monday in the hospital. That’s a relieve for her I supposed after being in agony for so long. May she find peace in Him. God bless.
