First runner up

We lost in the company captain ball final tournament.. 19 vs 53.. well.. opponent too strong.. too tall.. too fit.. though we lost but we played well..

So we had dinner at "no sign board" to celebrate.. and they were there too.. hai~~~~

Another first time in my life

I "kissed" a kangoo on my way home.. luckily no scratches on both cars and thus "saved" my dear's 50% claims discount.. hai~~~ i must buck up and focus.. have been easily distracted by ppl and work.. arghh..

Application upgrade

At this time i'm at work in a concall.. application upgrade.. making a decision whether to roll back or not.. merry-go-round.. sianz.. while i'm suffering.. my dear is skiing @ big bear.. having fun.. lagi more sianz..

Surprise =)

I received this bouquet of sunflowers from my dear together with a cheesecake from secret recipe from 3 friends.. delivered to my office.. the surprise was he bought me sunflowers instead of tulips or roses.. keke.. first time i received flowers from dear.. so touched by his message and i missed him badly :~~(.. two major "events" of the year that dear not here with me.. sooooooooo sad..

My dept had a cny celebration and i shared my cake with my colleagues.. after that went karaoke with some colleagues.. missed him even more when i sang my fav songs.. *sob sob*.. and worst.. i am 30 now!

我不想我不想不想长大!!!!!

CNY 2006

I had steamboat for reunion dinner.. same as previous years.. last year my dear was here.. this year was quiet without him.. poor dear alone in US with no "good" food like abalone, seafood, etc.. actually this was the best meal i ever had since i came back from US.. mom helping out as confinement lady for a friend.. so poor me have been eating instant noodles (maggi or japanese ramen) or tabao.. sometimes i just eat fruits or snacks for dinner.. so lazy and so sick of noodles.. have been counting down for mom's home cooked food.. tomorrow she will be "free" :).. yippie..

As usual i dun have alot of visiting.. just to my aunt's place.. else we will stay home and wait for others to come.. quiet and peaceful cny.. time to rest.. gossip and play mahjong with my colleagues and online chats with my dear.. not alot of angbaos but i'm happy :)..

I was surprised to receive angbaos from my bosses.. yea bosses coz i have 2 to report to :).. happy too.. of coz not for the $ but for the blessings.. a good "kai gong ji li" :)

First time in my life

1993

A number that i must remember.. a day i want to remember.. but.. my dear wasn't with me to share my joy..

Worried..

My dear not feeling well.. asked him to drink more water or take some honey.. said i nagged.. when he fell sick in sg.. i always take care of him.. now he is away.. what else can i do.. *upset*..

Lousy day..

Sian.. woke up by user @ 6am and worked on the issue with a colleague.. we tried to get help from others (waste our breath and time).. end up it resolved itself.. wasted around 1 hrs plus analysing logs.. then swarmed by issues and emails.. projects plan for this year.. we have an inofficial early release at 3pm.. end up i went home at 8 plus.. last minute kana arrowed to help out an installation.. our boss instructed that we cannot leave until the app is working.. and he left around 4.. those who are supposed to do the installations are doing extra that does not help much.. end up i have to troubleshoot and seek help from other colleagues.. sickening.. one of the colleagues was really really late for dinner with gf.. think she waited since 4pm.. poor guy.. kana stressed by her, me and his boss (who called and nagged him to reduce his 3 days leave)..

Rite now.. i feel so tired and drained and demoralised.. think i need to rest and relax during this cny period.. must start the "puppy" year rite.. haven't really chatted with my dear.. so bz.. looking forward to our chitchat over net tomolo.. yippie..

His car @ san diego

Ford Mustang.. a guy's dream car.. a car that we won't get to drive in sg.. is what he drives in san diego.. so cool rite.. but i dun dare to drive.. feel so "tiny" when i sit inside.. cannot see the front and back.. *stressed*.. anyways i missed being fetched around.. so it's ok :)

Seals and sea lions

Harbour seals @ La Jolla Cove, San Diego

His cooking @ san diego

I have a dear who loves to cook for me.. and worries that i dun have enuff to eat.. see the portion and varieties.. keke.. we din waste food thou our tummy almost "exploded" after every meal.. really feel so fat.. may be we starved too much at canyon.. keke.. so glad that he has a dishwasher *grin*.. else i have to wash all the dishes.. yeah this is how we share "chores".. oh yes not to forget.. my dear woke up early every morning just to make breakfast.. so sweet rite.. dun envy eh..

Our favorite daily routine @ san diego is grocery shopping :)).. looking out for promos.. those buy 4 or 10 @ US X amount blah blah.. keke we had a hard time bringing them home.. :P *greedy*..

"Busy" day

Woke up late around 2 plus.. catched up with a gf and went out dinner with my folks.. so missed the chatting window with my dear.. *sianz*.. din wana wake him up so will "catch" him tomorrow.. sweet dreams..

Well.. after the chit chat.. i felt really blessed having such wondeful bf.. someone who loves and cares for me soooo much.. *miss*

Mahjong

I din win for a long long time :) thou it was only 7 bucks.. felt great.. was losing but managed to get some good wins.. really enjoyed the game.. learned to "let go" at the rite time .. so my buddy and fren couldn't "see" thru my tiles.. shiok.. but my buddy's fren wasn't very friendly.. "bitter gourd" face.. kinda spoilt my mood.. he was totally different when we had kopi.. guess his own mahjong kakis dun play friendly games like us.. take it easy eh :)

Hiya!

Just wana blog to keep my dear and frens updated (esp crankygal) and also to remind myself of my accomplishments and challenges in life, plus key events that happened.. my memory is slowly giving up on me :(..

Cheesecake factory @ San Francisco

It was sooooo crowded and we had to take away since my dear had to rush back for work.. we bought 2 cheesecakes (godiva and tiramisu) and 1 chocolate cake for lunch.. kekeke.. they were so yummie.. the cheese was just nice and melt right in the mouth.. *drool*.. the chocolate cake was really really huge.. we couldn't finish them.. end up we had them for dinner as well.. keke.. really ex and sinful :P
