Multitudes.

There are times when you know you have done all you can, but thinking back, you wonder if enough was really ever enough? 

Enough. Six letters. But the weight oh how much it holds, it's so much in some circumstances. 

He was a strong man. But u guess it came to a point where enough was enough. His mind could take it but not his body. 

There are those who wonder around and choose to be selfless. A simple act of kindness go a long way. These are those who supports no matter the circumstances. Their genuine care can be felt from across the miles. 

And then there were those nosy ones. Those that choose to judge. 

Of course, an incident like this can cause even the most unexpected person to appear. 

There are then, things that you cannot control. And the things that you wish you can control, goes a bit out of hand. 

But all is said, and all is done. 

It was a very, very difficult time last month. So much of sadness.

How much really, is enough? 

What should be used to measure 'enough'? 

I could have had a grand wedding ceremony. Budget was not an issue. But for me, a simple one is enough. 

I'm sure, people would say, people would judge, people would comment. But as long as I'm happy, nothing else really mattered. I define my own definition of enough. 

No one needed to know that I was given a brand new car as a wedding gift. Then again, when we had to choose our car, we weren't given a budget too. A few hundred thousands wasn't an issue. But we chose to be thrifty. After all, dad bought two cars. And to drive in the land of Singapore is very, very expensive. 

It was my first day of work this week. There were discussions on how am I going to rent a car to be driving around in Singapore. My new colleagues were nice, as they gave me suggestions on how to go about renting a used car to commute around, as Singapore enacted a ruling this year that if someone is to purchase a car, they have to fork out 40% of the car value as initial deposit to control the amount of cars on the road. Also not to mention, the COE is crazy crazy high. I smiled in appreciation. No one needed to know that my car is fully paid for in cash.

Of course, my daddy was over the moon. He told neighbours and relatives and friends. I wish he didn't, such things don't need bragging. 

I'm still the same girl. Still frustrated over silly things, still cry over things that hurt me, still look at Sean the same way as I looked at him when I first started falling in love with him, still wanting to very much just lie on his chest and hear his heartbeat after a long, tiring day. I still reach out to kiss him every night and get frustrated over silly things.

I'm still working hard to earn my own money. I'm still finding for ways to earn even more. I wanna save up, and build something of my own. Carve my own pathway. And my dear hubs, he is ever so supportive. 

I'm still very much frugal in my expenses. I'm still the friendly girl my buddies have always known me to be. I did not change.

I'm still, the same old Jean.

Only that I have a rock on my finger now, a novel, lovely 0.45C, perfect cut of hearts and arrow, diamond ring which sparkles everywhere I go. 

And I'm loving it. 

Lotsa love.

Sadness

Sigh.. Sigh.. Sigh..

I'm sad. 

So sad.

The Red Wines

I love to drink wine. Not too much. But little by little. Most importantly, the company must be good. Very good. Over some laughter, some bitching, some discussions about life, potential investments, places to visit, everything and anything. Anything goes, as long as I'm comfortable. 

Which is why my Sean brought me out to chill out with some of his close friends awhile ago. I've met them once, when I was a 'fortnightly-visitor'. I met them again in one of the guy's house. With an architecture that is grand, with floor measurements measuring up to four levels, it was an impressive place. 

Land mass is so scarce in Singapore. I can only imagine how much that house was worth. Not to mention that luxury car. By the time I reached the top of the house at the bar counter, I was catching my breath. 

We gathered together for wine tasting, the 5 of us. Opened up four bottles ranging from SGD 80 onwards. We were taught on how to better appreciate wine. He got someone to privately come over to educate us on wine tasting earlier on, but because we were late, we missed her. 

I honestly thought the whole conversation was boring. I didn't enjoy it. Clearly, it was conversation on how to appreciate the type of red wines that didn't resonate to me at all. Perhaps I'm still too young to appreciate the so called 'finer things in life'. Or maybe I'm just happy with my simple blend of not too dry, not to sweet Merlot or Shiraz. All the finer finer details to that, I'm not interested.

And then there was this 'show off' session on the things he just recently bought. Some super branded bag which costs a fortune, probably equivalent to or more of my basic salary when I was working in Malaysia, but I have no interest to even recall the brand name. So pretentious. Ughhhh. 

Which is why I drank a bit too quickly, a bit too much, a bit too soon. By the time I got into the car, my head was already spinning. I rushed out of the car when we were probably 200 meters from home. Ugh, felt like shit, vomiting over red wine. Red wine..!!! Not even hard liquor. Damn. I'm such a failure. 

From this incident, Sean says he will never allow me to go out to drink alone at night. He saw first hand how helpless I can be. Sigh.. There goes all my potential gatherings. Sobs! But, he was a darling, my husband. He brought me home, brought me to the bathroom, stood beside me and held my waist while I brushed my teeth, helped me changed my clothes, closed the windows, on the air-conditioner, tucked me to bed, gave me a goodnight kiss, and asked me to rest. Soon after he joined me too. 

It was a random night, busy, from all the running around before that too. 

I don't enjoy the company of the rich and fakes. 

I miss my bestie, Syam Babe, Simon and the gang. We can chill over a cup of coffee or over mamak and I would still better enjoy the genuine company of my peeps much better. 

Sigh. 

Lotsa love.

The One to call My Own

"Goodnight honey!"

"Crawls up to the big brand new King Sized Sealy Posturepedic that he got for us and cuddles cuddles with him.."

I swear it is the most comfortable bed ever. Maybe perhaps it's ours to have, and it's really big for two people. I've slept in Queen all my life.

Every morning it get's harder and harder to get up of bed.

...While lying on his chest before going to bed... \I look up at him and asks...

"Honey, love me or not?"

"He looks at me for that three short mil-seconds, gazes deep into my soul, smiles, and says "Very much.." 

...Before he turns away and acts up a vomit.

Haha. 

That's our kind of love. 

=)

I hope this will never end. That we will still look at each other in the same way we do now, 30-40 years down the road.

I hope. 

It's been a week. The first week of the rest of my life. And I'm enjoying every moment of it. 

It's so fun, to have a company to do everything that you want to do with you. To go out night walks (which I so enjoy in this wonderfully serene and clean neighbourhood), someone you look forward to seeing every day, someone to have, someone to hold on to, someone who teases on how fat you look in a particular dress, but still pulls you close to remind you that you are beautiful, someone who gives you that bottle of water to drink first because he knows you are thirsty, even when he is even more thirsty, someone who laughs at your silly jokes, someone who texts you just to see if you are safe, It's all that. 

And to see your other half smile to anything, especially when somehow the matter somewhat relates to you, to me is the greatest gift of contentment. 

It's a beautiful thing, to be in love. 

To stay in love, however, is the real test. 

A test that I will gladly take, with him by my side. 

Being with him reminds me to always be my better self, to be selfless, to change the "ME" into "WE", to try to understand, relate, communicate. It's definitely a work in progress, and I will not be who I am now, say, 5 years down the road, and so will he. The key, is to find the space to grow, and in the midst of that process still find the means to support each other in the best way we know. It's going to be tough, but hey, what is life really, if you have to walk on your journey alone? Wouldn't it be twice as more exciting to have Mr Right do it with you?? =)

Suddenly I realised that this, this is the kind of love I have been searching for all my life.

And I count my blessings every day that he has my whole heart, and I have his.



lotsa love.

Little droplets of happiness

Once in awhile, in the middle of an ordinary life, love gives us a fairytale.. 

I believe until now, people wonder why I did what I did. 

But it doesn't matter.

As long as I am happy. Although I must say, not many people can walk out of what they do and say "I don't need a job, I'm good even without one", but it's good to always count my blessings. 

Yeah, I'm jobless, but I'm good where I am. Of course, I'll look for employment soon, but well, let's enjoy while I still can, ya? 😊

And how can I not be, when my life is filled with so many wonderful, wonderful people to make it ever so colourful? 

A handful of dedicated friends (you are all I need), a bestie (someone I can rant and crap and talk nonsensical stuff and still find some sense in nonsense), people that would fly so far back here just for my upcoming wedding, a family to hold on to (my sis can get emo sometimes, but hey everyone is entitled to their emotions), the most understanding and supportive parents ever (especially daddy), my annoying brother (I still love him to bits), the most loving and caring soon to be parents in-law, the two little nephews, (I have a feeling Ronald likes me more than Sean. Can't help it la, it's a maternal thing haha) which I am growing so fond of more and more each day, my cute doggie, little ColB. 

And of course, the person whom which my life wouldn't be filled with all the fine pixels of magnified colors if it weren't for his existence, my dear Sean. For being so understanding to let me come home to spend more time with my family before the big day comes. 

Suddenly I realize, that to find true happiness, really it doesn't involve any money. Look at all the above names, they were people. Characters, all in their unique dispositions. 

I'm a lucky girl. 

If I have not said it before, thank you all for being so nice to me. 

Life will not be the same without you..! 

Lotsa love.

xoxo

Giggles.

Passport. 

And then some laughs. 

Haircut. 

Stolen moments. 

Conversation.

And then I turned to look at you. 

A smirk. At the edge of your lips. 

Some teasing. 

I leaned over to give you a kiss. 

Your little bouncy lips. 

You looked right over. 

We kissed again. 

Smiles. 

In the car. While at the traffic light. 

Simple, contented moments. 

Happy Birthday, my love. 

Yours always. 

lotsa love.

The Essence of Time

(a note from two weeks ago)

Time.

Time is something we will have to struggle with in the future. 

It's not going to be easy. 

It's going to be frustrating. 

Many, many more frustrations, I'm anticipating. 

Somehow I wonder how you are going to juggle having your family, your work, me, and our future at the same time. 

Perhaps in a few years from now, I'm going to re-visit this particular entry of my blog, and recall of the day you went for your outdoor Venture Club Expedition in Johor, and I went on this one-day outdoor road trip with my dearest family to Perak.  

And I'm going to remember walking back as fast as I could on this faithful night, verging on running already, to settle the important things at home before catching a glimpse of you. 

I didn't think of much, just thought of getting home as fast as I possibly can. 

And I did catch a glimpse of you tonight. 

And it is on this night that I am being reminded again, that it doesn't matter how fast a person has to run, or how long the winding road is, long as that person knows that it is worth it, then it's worth it. 

I'm reminded again that love is not about only needing, it's not only about taking, but it's also about giving, about having the need to understand, the space to tolerate, the acknowledgement of differences, and the wisdom to know what's more important. 

There is so much more to learn, about you for the most part, even about myself, in this process of loving you, as we embark on this path that would lead to our marriage some time soon. Very soon.

I caught a glimpse of you tonight. 

Even if it's just for a two minutes. 

I'm contented. I really wish I had more time, but for tonight, I'm contented. 

And although it's been a tiring day, I've never felt so happy to rush for someone because I know I care about him so very much. 

And if you didn't know, I've been missing you while you were away, Sean. 


Lotsa love. 

Just for you.

Sean Jean

"Are you always this nice, honey? I feel that I'm not deserving of you."

I exclaimed as he accompanied me to the bathroom at Liang Court. 

For a moment there, he stood, he didn't know how to reply. He didn't expect it, for sure. I smiled as I walked in and he went to the gents. 

I really thought I was a caring girlfriend. Caring enough, until I met him, and became his other half. And then I realised I can never be as meticulous, forward thinking, and particular in details that matter. Not to mention, the extent of care he extends to the people that are connected to me, is unbelievable. Sometimes, I wonder if it's too much. But it comes from a good place. Which brings me back to why I so easily love this man. 

Falling in love over and over again with him has never been this easy.

People say we are still in our honeymoon period, but I say we have passed it. 

It helps that we are never pretentious to each other, always truthful, and we always be our silly selves. He cracks me up too. We make good partners in crime. Hahah.

So much has happened, and I wish I could pen of down so that I'll remember all the details, but it's a lot to remember and pen. Like, A LOT. 

In summary, resigned, sold off the car, transitioning to Singapore, got engaged, planning a wedding, in the near future a honeymoon, and I can't wait! 

I came back to Msia after 1.5 weeks and suddenly realised this place is awfully dirty! And unsafe too. 

But coming back here, I feel like I left a huge chunk of me in Singapore with him.

He took very, very, very good care of my family when they went to Singapore. I couldn't have had it any better. The food was so damn lavish, and coming from a girl who more often than that of the normal, average population, eats good food quite so often (like sea cucumber for lunch, every month or two), I think it's over the top. Like really, over the top. 

But daddy is a happy person. Mummy too. She's already missing me, I know. Among many other things, I know that Sean has shown my parents, the simple reasons why I chose Him to spend the rest of my life with. So quickly, yet so surely. For better or for worse, until the end of time. 

I'm happy, for all the simple reasons that make him, Him. 



Lotsa love.

A friend I'll ALWAYS Cherish

* written awhile ago *

The first day I met him, I thought he was rather friendly. Perhaps I didn't allow the chance to know him better. 

All I remembered, was that genuine smile that filled his face as he reached out his hand and introduced himself. 

Then, that was it, I went on with my life. 

He didn't become significant, until he became a part of the team. Nexium. Reporting under boss too. 

Tristan is a tall, very well spoken, good looking man.  To add on, he is a pharmacist by paper, and he seemed to be an amazing guy. 

Every morning he comes in and wishes me, 'Good morning Jean' with that genuine smile across his face. 

And I would say 'good morning' back. 

But when he slowly became significant, was when one day, I was coughing repulsively over and over, that he got me a glass of warm water to help soothe my throat. 

I was surprised, in disbelief even. It's rare to find someone that is not too close to you who decides to take the extra effort to do all these little things. It's rare. 

By how he really became a good, good friend, was when times were hard between Sean and I, and I was so depressed and Sad. It was him, whom I confided into, and trust me, if it was not for him who gave me such a good and relevant advice that I truly needed at the time, Sean and I probably would have taken a more difficult turn upon that incident. We wouldn't have proceeded in doing the things we did and I wouldn't be moving to Singapore. 

It was in the bus, by the beach in Penang. All those words of wisdom, I will carry with me as I move on to build a life with my dear Sean and I. 

And for that, I'll always be grateful. 

I will be missing you dude, when I'm at Singapore. It's so rare to find a good gem like yourself. 

For that reason, and for so many in between, you have earned a spot on my wedding day. 

Lotsa love. 

May God Bless you  always.

Counting My Blessings Every Day

This week I watched three movies. 

1. Fifty Shades of Grey - Singapore
2. Cinderella - Sunway Pyramid
3. Divergence - Mid Valley

It was a busy week, but a wonderful one in every possible way. 

1. I am a happy woman, having hit my target at 120% yet again and bringing home a whole load of cash next month. Also, I'm in the running to be the Top Rep for the Quarter. To hit is already a big fat blessing to me, and now that I see my name as the potential Top Rep of AstraZeneca, damn it's a really good feeling.  
What a way to start the quarter, nothing less but with style..! I hit within the second week of the month and so it's pretty damn awesome! 

2. I got a promotion. Weehee!! The last time I was offered an internal promotion from the company I was working in, it was two years ago. It was a position that I wanted, having expressed my interest in marketing, but I turned it down due to, let's just say decisions made there and then on who was the more important entity of my life at the time. 
No regrets though, although I had to start everything all over again in a much more challenging environment, it was a decision already made in which I had to live with, but I have only grown to be my better self, and to have the company see and recognize the contribution and my potential, I'm so blessed. 

3. I'm thinking on going to Taiwan for a trip. I've already traveled to four places in three months, sat on the aeroplane half a dozen of times. It's crazy to fly so often, more so especially for personal reasons and leisure than for business. But I'm not complaining. :) 
Life is pretty darn good for now. We have booked my trip to Thailand already, and I'm really looking forward to that one too. 

4. I'm in love. And I'm loved. The thought process that goes into this Boyfie of mine over a simple thing like watching a movie goes to show how much I mean to him in his life. There is this tingling sensation in my heart every time he does silly things and I wish it will never end. 

Things to improve on: 

1. Better time management skills 
2. Time with family
3. Sleep

Baby steps. 

And I need to sleep soon. 

Goodnight world. 



lotsa love. 

L.O.V.E



.. And so sis walks down the aisle ..
.. And I cried ..

.. In disbelief, that my dear sister of 26 years is to be Ken's wife formally in holy matrimony. 

We all looked so beautiful that day. The bridesmaids, my family, my cousin,  everybody else too. 





My sister of course, was the star of the day. Sh looked lovely, elegant, poised and refined in her own definitive way. The bridal gown was rather traditional, an extension of the traditional woman that she is, but her other dresses bore solid, colorful pieces, relatively signifying the colorful life that she lives in. So did Ken, he looked particularly handsome that day. 











Clare flew in from Australia, all the way..! And so did Anita. Two of my most favorite people, my childhood friend and my most favorite cousin in the whole world. I got a lovely gift from Anita, didn't expect it and didn't prepare anything for her amidst all the busyness. Ahhh *felt guilty* 



Even Sean. And he smelt so good. Think I made the right choice getting him the Burberry Brit for Christmas. :) 

He did so well, my Sean. I knew he was nervous, as the people who were invited for this gracious event were the  very, very significant people in our lives. People like Aunty Angeline. Non-significant ones didn't make it into the list. :) But I knew he would be alright. Everyone became so fond of him. Dhatchana mentioned to me that 'This one can la, Li Feng. So cute, thoughtful and adorable.' 



I looked at him from afar and sighed to myself in contentment. 

What's there not to love? 

We had a lovely breakfast in the morning. I have been to many hotels, but this one, the food selections are ample and I enjoyed every bit of it. Well, its Shangri-La, so definitely the standard is there. It tasted really good too, and the view was overlooking the sea. But I was sick so, didn't manage to enjoy the food selections to the fullest. 

The room was spacious and comfortable as well, even for a room fit for three. Didn't manage to utilize the bath tub, unfortunately. We watched TV until our eyes couldn't take it anymore. Godzilla, I recall. And the bed, ahhhhhh so fluffy..! I was so tired on the night itself, that I just slept my way through a breezy, dreammie dream..

Wanted to go for a morning swim thereafter, in fact I was already in my swimming attire, but the beach beckons even more, so we walked towards it instead. It didn't matter that we didn't swim, we would have lots of opportunities to do it in the future. 

I've written names on sand before, and oh, do I enjoy doing it, but I don't recall anyone writing my name on the sand. 

Until he took a stick and scribbled "Jean loves Sean" And I was like "EhhH!!" Haha. We were playing around too, since our names only differ by one alphabet. Haha. 







I smiled, and I thought "Silly boy, you are just as silly as  I am sometimes."

It's the simple things he do that makes me feel so happy silly. Like how much he is just like me, yet so different in his distinct ways. 

It was so much fun, a lot of laughter. Two simple people wanting simple things like moments like this, which can be so insignificant to others, but are significant to us. Shared some kisses, and hugs too. Talks on the wonderful things we would experience in the future, just the two of us. The countries we would visit, the things we would do, etc. 

It was like in a dream, until my phone rang and my mom called us back. 

Wish it never had to end. 


lotsa love.

The Inside Thoughts

(On Valentine's Day) 

Here I am, sitting at the airport, sipping my cup of coffee, looking at the people that surrounded me. There was a white guy, eating his burger. Ladies chattering, another lonesome lady like myself. Perhaps she's traveling for work. Or back to her family. Or maybe she's just traveling for the sake of it. Gee, who does that lol. 

They say you observe much more when you travel alone. 

A lot of time for some solitude. Which is not a bad thing. Over the years I realized that I grow more and more in need of my time alone. Perhaps it's because of the work that I do, that it requires a day to day interaction with people, that at times, I yearn for some time alone. I'm grateful for the distance I need to take to drive to see my customers. The time of solitude keeps me grounded. 

Or maybe it's because I come from a very hectic, noisy family that at times, spending some time alone would be a nice switch. :)

I'm not complaining of course. I have a lovely family. I cannot ask for anything more. 

Yesterday, I organized sis's Hens Night on Valentine's Eve. As I'm one of the bridesmaids, and I know sis the best by far, I took the liberty to do most things. It was so fun, arranging the whole thing. I conceptualized the whole idea! From the decoration, to the event of the night, and everything, the rose petals, the cake, everything. Even mom chipped in by doing the board. (I love my mom)
























But it was difficult though, planning something that's meant to be wild, on a tamer scale. Didn't help much either when some of the ideas online involved penises and condoms. Even on the cakes and cupcakes! 



I thought to myself, Man, when I get married one day, my girlfriends better plan something awesomely Fun and rebellious! After all, marriage is once in a lifetime! Feriani did some of the work too, I'm glad for her presence, really. But damn, was I exhausted that night. 

But it was decent fun la. As long as I know my sis is happy, then I'm happy too. 

I can only do things like this for the people I love, definitely not for a career man. It's too much work, too much hassle. One-off is fun! And anything more, no fresking way, period. 

There was so much of love surrounding me. So much of love in the air. 



















That was my thought, sipping my coffee. 

I dont know where everyone was heading, but I know I'm heading towards the person I love. 

And I'm glad that at the end of the day, I'm going to be walking hand in hand with my Honeybunch before the night ends. 

That thought itself, was a blissful one on its own. 

And look at what he got me. 

The latest iPhone 6Plus, 128GB.




I'm not deserving of this, but u think I am, which is why I know, you love me just the same.  :)

Thank you, love.

I love you too. 

Thank you, for every simple moment spent with you.

You've filled my heart with so much of warmth and love. 

Lotsa love.

My January =D

So you can keep me
Inside the pocket 
of your ripped Jeans 
Holding me closer 
Till our eyes meet
You will never be alone
Wait for me to come home.

~Photograph by Ed Sheeran 

I love love love this song. It has been playing in my Spotify premium like a broken record and yet I am still finding the lines between this number so beautiful. 

The final chorus is the most beautiful, simply because it incorporates the harmony of a soft choir to epitomise the ending part of the songs as the songs builds from a simple orchestra to a full-fledged one in the end.

It's a beautiful song, so beautiful it will make the most preferred song in my top love song list.

It has been a wonderful weekend.

Busy, very busy, but I reached the end of both the weekend days with much contentment. 

I only finished packing at 1.30am. 

People think I'm crazy. The traveling has been intense, but for me, at this point, it's a blessing to be able to travel to meet your loved one. And he feels the same too. 

Which is why he took the journey to see me.

People do crazy things when they are in love - Megara, from Hercules the Disney movie.

I cannot attest to that at all. It's so true. 

***********************************************************************

The only thing you cannot recycle is time - upon the mural of Assunta High School. 

Watch the ticking clock and one month has already flashed us by. Ever so quickly. 

Looking back at January, man was it such a hectic month. I remembered looking at my calendar and seeing so many things happen over each weekend.

It started off with us attending Han Siang's wedding. It's funny how I remember during the good old days of yesteryears where both the brothers would come over to wash the car (back then we only have one) and porch too. And now looking at him getting married, boy have we all come a long way. Time for some self-reflection lol!

There was the UNLOCK training, where I have learnt a lot more when I thought I have already learnt all that no need to know to be the excellent salesperson that I am.

This was the time where the Senior Management spoke to us at the rep level to provide to us the insights of what they have learnt in the many years being in this beautiful industry.

And boy, did I learn a lot. 

*******************************************************

Then there was me doing a lot of running around as I am covering a new area.


And then the next highlight was when we all flew to Penang for one whole week!!! Ahhh it was so awesome really. We stayed at Park Royal Hotel by the beach in Penang. Similar to Meritus Pelangi a Resort in Langkawi last year, this hotel was by the beach side, which I have grown to love silly. Taking brisk walks down the beach and leaving footprints in the sand, hearing the waves crashing as it hits the shores, watching the bright starts when it was night fall, being fed like royalties and sleeping in an ohhhhh-sooooo comfortable bed. What more could I ask for really? My room was a room meant for three people when there were only two of us babes so it was even more comfortable given the extra space we have. Extra one for every thing! Niceeeeee..

 *my huge-ass room*
*dreamy dream dream*

But I was too busy to enjoy the bathtub unfortunately.. Sigh.. 



And ohh! I got rewarded for being the only one to score 100% for exam in the whole of Symbicort team! And later on was rewarded again as one of the most impressive brand presenter as we were being challenged in the Selling Village session, alongside Tristan too!!! =)

 *perfect score babeh!*

*Best presenters*

And then there was that time that both Simon and I were chosen to be the MC for the company-wide event. Goodness gracious me gosh was I ever so nervous! But with minimal preparation, we stormed through the whole journey and it was an awesome experience really. I remember going up on stage and my whole extended team cheered out so damn loud we both smiled til Mississippi! Ohh such a nice feeling to be loved. 

And then the highlight of it all was.. Annual Dinner! 










Went up on Stage, TWICE! 

Last year was such a good good year. So much to be thankful for really. 
And to be awarded recognitions for it, it was another good self-reflection feeling. I felt a lot of endorphins activated throughout the entire time. 


Then we danced the night until midnight in the next ballroom where they made it into a Haloween-like dance floor and we had an unlimited flow of beer..! I had to remain sane as I had an early flight the next day so four pints was as far as I went. It was diluted lah so nothing much kicked in lol. 



At 1.30 am we adjourned to the beach to continue the partaaaaayyyyyyyy!!!!! Wheeeeeeeeee~!

So awesome really. So awesome.

I had to wake up at 7.15am the next day OMG! Super-zombie mode lah of the hangovers and all of that. Coffee after coffee at the airport. Noon flight to Singapore. :)



In Singapore, I shall not forget the cute white guy who helped me out at the station, and the simple bus driver. Honeybunch was surprised so many things happened in one hour. :)

Well, can't blame. Didn't I tell you that your girlfriend is a catch??? Hahahaha! 

January was a good month lah really. :) 

Let's look forward to an even better 11 months ahead! 

Lotsa love. 

Can't Smile Without You!!!
