Bye my love

I fell in love the moment I laid eyes on her. Those gorgeous orange-yellow lines and the silver front. The perfect shade of blue and the simple design. To top it all off...it has 2 very nice chinese words tattooed on it.

Our relationship lasted for 3 years. Much longer than people predicted. They say it we will only be together for 1 year, but I proved them wrong...we proved them wrong.

All good thing has to come to an end. I dreaded the day and procrastinate on your departure. I felt u and I can still go on. Han and lyn kept bugging me to break it up. But I could not bear it. The constant nagging from Han and the urging from lyn finally brought down my defenses.

I bid my fairwell and found someone new. I will always keep you in my heart.

Little steps

The day marks a tiny milestone...

Thanks for everything.

Gone....again

I woke up at 5.30am to follow my dad to the airport. Not much words were exchanged, but I am glad I was there to say goodbye.

He came and not his gone again. Back to ordinary life...no more tour guide, secretary or being ahmad. Somehow I miss that...

What are the chances...

Fated?

Hip...Workaholic

My dad uses Skype. But he pronouces it as "Sky pee". I just nod and smile. I think because of this, I can call him pretty hip for a techno idiot.

He is such a workaholic. He was suppose to show me some stuff relating to Sky-pee, but he ended up working the lines for a few hours. I even had to be his secretary and bring him food (see the pot beside the laptop).

Sky-pee rocks

Dad

I was oblivious to the cars zooming past my block, to the noise my sister was making and also to the cries my niece was producing. I was in deep slumber when I heard my mum mention "Your dad is back!"

I was jerked back into reality. I sat up straight and looked around to confirm the words were not from a dream. I caught a glance of my sister, her eyes said it all - "Thank God he is alright". I smiled and gave her a nod, the little action showed a mutual feeling of relieve. It has been some time since he went missing in action (MIA). No forms of communication could get him and my wild imagination was not helping to calm my nerves.

I went to see my dad and gave him the familiar word I always use when I see him – “Pa..” My dad looked at me and nod, but it meant a thousand words to me. He aged so much since I last saw him. But as normal, his face does not show what he is feeling or going through. I know my dad is going through some tough times. He is a warrior, he is holding his head up and is going to go out of his comfort zone (once again, like he did 10 years ago). I can only silently sit see him fly off for work.

For his dedication to the family – Thank you.

This post is specially for Han...you mentioned u wanted to have a look at the shoe. Here goes! =)

An Introduction

Our conversations sometimes lead me to wonder if Val's a cave-woman. I keep forgeting shel has not been back to Spore for the last 3 years. Spore indeed change a lot during that period of time. Being the good tour guide, I decided she just have to visit Wala Wala before she leave. The place was packed by the time we arrive. We had to queue for long time before we could even climb the stairs up and listen to EIC rock. The music was great and the company was fantastic.

Like every late nite outing, we had to grab some supper. We ventured to Fong Seng to get some prata before I send her back. Guess this is the last time I will see her for this trip. Glad I can introduce her to 2 places all people in Spore should visit. Now she is not longer a SUAKU!!!

As Promised

Here are some links for Val as promised (Hope u not to suaku after this):

• Kenny Sia
• mrbrown
• Miyagi
• Little Miss Drinkalot
• Tomorrow
• Cowboy
• Cheeky
• AromaCookery
• popagandhi
• wonkytong

Basically, just keep clicking on the links of those blogs...I am sure that will keep u entertained.

A day to remember

It is funny how you meet someone in life and you 2 just click. It is even weirder when that person was from the Internet, who knows what psycho I will meet. I am really glad that I met this someone and today we met up after her 3 years absence in Singapore. Like every true blue Singaporean, Val decided she needs food and shopping. I was the guild for the day and I decided she needs to be introduced the the changes in Singapore.

Here comes the scary part.....
Just the 2 of us in a span of about 10 hours:
1) Sushi
2) Rotiboy
3) Ding Tai Feng - Xiao Long Bao
4) BakerzInn - Desserts and coffee
5) Bo Bo Cha Cha and Ice Kachang
6) Duck Rice
7) Rojak
8) Prata - 1 egg, 1 plain
9) Orh Lua (Fried Oyster)
10) Beer at Indo Chine (Nice place....)

Val actually wanted to eat more, but there is a limit to how much food one can take it. So we postponed the rest to another day. It was funny to see someone's eyes glimmer as she walks past all the food stores. It was amusing to see her eye other food while devouring what was placed in front of her. It was really great to see her light up everytime I mention or bring her to some new food. Some other food on the list are Kuey Chap, Mee Sua, Hokkien Mee, Beef Hor Fan, Fried Kuey Tiao and breakfast food. I am in company of a walking monster.....

Other than food, shopping was great fun. We seem to eye the same stuff, same colour. Roughly same taste in stuff. I can comment comfortably how I feel about what she was trying (The top really make a person look as if they have saggy breast. Bad cutting for Sporeans). She can almost always read my mind on what I thought was nice. But she was lucky I kept her in check. She did not do that when I was happily going nuts at Australia's Nike Shop. BLEH!

Overall, I think that is an accomplishment including the distance (and Food) we covered. Orchard to Somerset, Somerset to City Hall. City Hall to Bishan and then back to Town. We walked, we shopped, we eat and we talked.

I came to a conclusion today, I cannot eat and shop with Val. We eat way too much and spend way too much. But it is what make her such a good companion.

There goes all my training....sigh

Anastasia eats her hand

Here is my darling eating her hand once again. She absolutely loves it.

Ana is making all sorts of noises now. Baby talk which I don't understand but find it really amusing. She can also prop herself up if I turn her facing the bed. Now we are all just waiting for her to be able to roll herself over.

She is a bundle of joy.
