Fransca's Love Diary

This post is so going to irritate the hell of my nus mates.
And Jiahwa so want to slap me... hahahaa.

CORS bidding is starting this friday.

I only need to take 2 modules this semester. I've got exemption from 5 modules because I was from poly. Initially wanted to go slow, taking only 4 modules per sem instead of the normal 5 modules per sem which will allow me to graduate one semester earlier than the others of the same cohort. But after the first 2 sems, I couldn't take it and I just wanted to graduate asap. So i started taking 5 modules for the following semesters instead of 4.

That explains why i end up with 2 outstanding modules.

I've decided to take NM3204 E-learning and NM3208 Designing content for new media. NM3204 tutorials is only on EVEN weeks and NM3208 only has sectional teaching.

This simply means my maximum total hours in sch per week is only 7 hours.
Since e-learning tutorial is only held on even weeks, means even weeks max hours in sch is 5 hours.
And i predict i won't be able wake up for E-learning lecture (Wed 8-10am).
This makes only 3 hours on odd weeks.

WHahahaha!

And guess what? I just placed an advance bid for NM3208 and threw all my points in because I only need to bid for one module since e-learning has already been allocated to me. So if any of you see the highest bidding point starting at 1500 plus, don't scold me k.

Whahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa....

Dar³ came back from Seoul on Christmas! I wanted to go to the airport to welcome him back. But as usual, I'm always late. And this time, I left house too late because I spent too much time doing the bento for dar³, and thus exceeded my stipulated time to leave the house. Furthermore, I carried too much things with me, all the xmas pressies for dar³ and his family, the boxes of snacks i bought from japan for them and the bento. In the end, daddy dropped me at adam road so that it'll be easier to get a cab to Bishan. While waiting for dar³ to reach home, I took the chance to hide all the pressies for dar³.

Xmas pressies for my dearest boy-
Burberry black label wallet which I bought in Japan,
The musical waterball from Precious Moments,
and a handphone accessory from Japan.

lol. dar³'s mummy asked why i wrapped dar's pressie so much nicer than hers.

I hid this in the closet. It's an easy one cus I wanted dar³ to find this before the wallet. It was meant to be a "teaser" pressie because dar³ ever joked about wanting a water glass ball when we were shopping at J8 when I asked him to pick one pressie. This was the thing I was referring to when I said I went shops after shops looking high and low for it. Totally love it because the see-saw moves up and down when you turn the knob. So sweettt! Dar³ say it's like sweetest gift among the others because it makes him feel and melt like a girl for the first time. lol.

The other pressie was hidden at a “最危险的地方是最安全的地方”。I hid it among the silver Biotherm gift boxes in the open right next to his bed. It wasn't even covered up. But the Burberry silver paper bag "camouflaged" itself among the Biotherm bags. Too brilliant choice because dar³ took a very very long time to discover the pressie, so much so that I had to hint him that there's another pressie. And still he took a long time find it despite all the hints I gave.

Bento!

Onigiris with tuna and salmon fillings

Dar³ said this is his favourite surprise among all the xmas surprises because he felt very delightful when he opened up the box. He thought he could only see this in anime :) I love it too! Mummy as usual was nagging at me in the kitchen, but when I asked her to look at what I did, she tried to maintain her composure because she was in her 'stern' mode, but still she couldn't helped but to laugh.

Japanese Beef Curry, onigiris, brocolli

The wallet. If you're wondering why it's a long wallet,
that's because mr khoo wants a long wallet. And I like it too!

See what dar³ got for me from seoul...

Hello Kitty Fleece Hat and Collagen Masks from The Face Shop. lol.
Dar³ thinks I'm a little girl and asked me to wear the fleece hat.
It's so cute. Thanks dar³.

Went to Loof in the night to chill, just the both of us :)

At the mattress

I ordered Gummiberry, and I totally love the top of the drink, melted marshmallow. Dar³ had "The Loof Orginal", very refreshing.

Left Loof and was heading to cineleisure to meet sam and gab to catch 葉問。

Had a bit of food at Shokudo before movie starts in 10 minutes.

The movie was fabulous! It was totally unexpected for such action flick show to have such a moving storyline. Headed home straight after movie because we had to send his parents off at the aiport at 6am.

(p.s. The best xmas pressie i've received is when dar³ said, "I want to do something for my dardar...".
It's a lovely promise :) It made me so happy. )

The next day, we had a mini feast at home. Dar's sis and Ron decided to prepare dinner, while dar³ and I decided to contribute too! We had to follow in the line of "western" food. Dar³ and I went to the supermarket in the noon. And we decided to do bacon wrapped platter and I insisted on doing my homemade potato chips.

Our mini-feast with sparkling wine

White wine mussels cooked by Ron. Yummilicious!

Potato Chips! 100% potato, no preservatives.
Not buy off the shelves potato chips k!

Our bacon wrapped platter -
scallops, baked fish, golden mushrooms

Convenience grilled salmon prepared by dar's sis

On sunday late noon, dar³ brought me to East Coast Park 师奶茶餐厅 for carrot cake, without telling me he was going to bring me there.

Salted fish fried rice with char siew bits

Spicy and salty pork chop rice

Fried XO carrot cake! Happy happy :)

After dinner, dar intended to bring me to parkway parade but suddenly changed he mind to head to Suntec instead. When we reached there, dar³ said he want to get me a present. I had no idea what present he had in mind. So I just followed him as he held my hands. He brought me to the Build-A-Bear shop and said "Here it is!". Dar³ asked me to pick one of the soft toys I like. We were contemplating between the male teddy bear and the female bunny. After some time, we decided to pick the bunny! We spent about two hours in shop, making the bunny together. From choosing the animal, insertion of cotton, getting heartbeat, making a wish, bathe her, choosing clothes, giving her a name to making of the birth certificate. So cute right.

The flat bunny. Had to pump cotton into bunny.

Bunny's heart. Had to rub the heart in the palms to give it warmth. Shake 3 times and say your wish to it. Then, blow a kiss to the heart.

We chose to give the bunny a heartbeat device (you can feel the heartbeat of bunny when you press it). After filling it up with cotton, deciding how soft or hard i want the bunny to be, inserting the heartbeat device and heart, bunny was then sewed up.

Had to give bunny a clean shower.

And I seriously did give it a good brush under the shower blower.

So many clothes to choose from!

Dressing Room

We selected a few and tried on bunny...

Bikini swimwear with bag and towel

Nope. No doubt, bunny look very cute in it but she looks too fat in it.

Casual babydoll spaghetti top with hot shorts.

Nope. Nothing special.

Pink, silver, white striped blouse with baby pink mini skirt.

Yes. It's in one of our top choices.

Hot pink flurry hood sweater with hot pink pants

We liked the top but not the pants

Hot pink flurry hood sweater with denim mini skirt.

Hmm. Bunny doesn't seem comfortable wearing it.

Pink bathrobe with rabbit shoes

Hmm... looks comfy and sweet too.

So guess our final choice?

Our choice: Bathrobe with white/pink shades.

And I have pink undie too!

It has the feel of bunny going on a resort holiday.

We named our bunny "Buffie". Why "Buffie"? Because when Buffie was born, the first set of clothes she owns is a "Bathrobe". Both "Buff" and "Bath" have an almost similar pronunciation. At the same time, we wanted to give her a name that signifies the both of us. "Buffie" has two syllabus and is pronounce as "BUF"-"FIE", so it represents both of our names "Ben" and "Fran". Coincidentally, Buffie's bathrobe has a letter "B" logo.

Daddy, Mummy and Buffie!

Buffie and her birth certificate

I heart Buffie!

Buffie is the most expensive soft toy I've ever gotten. And it's also the sweetest thing among all because of the lovely and unforgettable process of making it together with my loved one. Thank you dar³ for such a fun-filled and sweet experience. Buffie means so much more than just a mere soft toy for me to hug in the night. It reminds me of all the the love and effort we put into making Buffie together, just like how we put in so much love into our relationship.

Dar³ did this for me when he was in Vancouver...

I ♥ U TOO!
I ♥ U TOO!
I ♥ U TOO!

On 13th night, flew off to Narita. Went on board the plane, only nuts and bread was served. Sis and I were quite famish because we didn't had our dinner. And dar³ told me that should have food the moment we board, so I only ate onion rings from burger king. Bluff me! Whenever we see stewardess carry food trays pass us, we were very happy at the thought of meal service. lol.

Watched Mamma-Mia!

Yay! Finally after 4 hours, breakfast was served! And it was the healthiest meal I ever eaten. Everything was boiled, with no traces of oil at all. To my surprise, even such healthy meal tasted quite nice :)

Finally in Tokyo! Back in Asakusa Temple after 2 years. Initially I dread coming to Asakusa Temple for the 4th time... but then I felt differently when I was there again. It reminded me all the times I prayed and made wishes. And this time, not only did I make new wishes and ask for new blessings, but I had an opportunity to give thanks for the past year and all the wishes that came true :)

Nakamise Shopping Street

We had our very first meal in Tokyo at one of the restaurants there.

Nikko Toshogu, famous for its lavish ornamental carving

Lake Chuzenji. The scenary is beyond awesome!!! A beautiful lake with forested shores at the foot of the sacred volcano Mount Nantai in Okunikko. The road access to Lake Chuzenji ascends more than 400 meters in altitude and is named "Iroha", because the original road consisted of 48 needlepoint curves, the same number as there are letters in the Japanese syllabary, formerly known as "iroha".

The first Hot Spring Resort we stayed for the night. It was a big room with several different partitions.

Dinner time! Our very first dinner in Tohoku.

Cherry tomatoes are really sweet and juicy
there.

Ice cream *lick*

Day 2

Ohayou gozaimasu!

Breakfast!

Tsuruga Castle

my family members who went on the trip :)

Sis and Lil' Cloey

Duckies...

And it's time for FOOD again!

my ipoddee keeps my accompany throughout my journey :)

Aizu Sake Historical Musuem- where sake is made.

Try some sake?

Sake-making process...

What does these long standing things look to you?

Ahhaaa. It's all about a day which commemorates the male organ.

Fresh well water used for brewing sake.

Aizu Samurai Residence. Aizu Samurai’s life in the Edo period.

Goshikinuma, a five colour pond depending on weather conditions.

For this, I have to say that the one 五彩池 (pic1, pic2) we saw in 九寨溝 Sichuan China was far much nicer.

Sis and I

Yukata. The same old tradition pic taken each time I visit Hot Spring Resort in Japan... just that the face gets older every year. lol.

And when you're older, the more you try to act cute.

Buffet for dinner!

Loads of Sashimi...

Beef steak

Dar³... this is so gonna make you hungry =p

Tempura

Desserts!

Ice cream

Sobet

Day 3

Breakfast buffet at hotel.

Godaido Hall that perched on a small island in Matsushima Bay

Hello Kitty Capsule Machines.

Road leading to Zuiganzi Temple. Its entrance is shaded by tall cedar trees. On the right side of the pathway leading to the temple are caves and grottoes dug out by priests long ago, which were used for meditation. Quite impressive!

Lunch time!

Carpark charges are so high even in non-developed parts of Japan.

Japanese traditional tea ceremony at Karantei.

BBQ buffet for dinner! Shiok!

Birthday cake for my uncle.

There was a extremely huge white statue of the Goddess of Mercy next to the hotel we stayed in. It stands even taller than the hotel.

Genbikei Gorge

It is most famous for it’s “Flying Dango" - sticky riceball that comes in various favors. It is known as “Flying Dango” because a restaurant on one side of the gorge sends it to the other side of the gorge via rope and basket. UNFORTUNATELY, the restautant is closed (see the small yet prominent red flag? That's where the restuarant is.) Sigh, all of us were so eager to try :(

Boohoo. Couldn't get to see it in real. So no choice but to check it out online. This is how it will be like...

Look so yummieee...

Sis and I

Chusanji Temple

Local tradition- Wanko Soba. Each of us were given 12 bowls of Wanko Soba. No kidding. But almost everyone except a few of us didn't managed to finish the 12 bowls. I only managed to finish 4 bowls and decided not to stuff myself with so much noodles.

Koiwai Farm. But we didn't see any animals, except a few horses that seemed miles away from us.

Day 4

Breakfast

Lake Tazawa. Deepest lake in Japan.

Lunch before we head to Akita airport...

Took a domestic flight back to Tokyo...

Dinner was sumptuous!

Chicken

Abalone

Lobster

Last day

I miss the crispy croissants there!
I didn't mind eating them everyday for breakfast.

Went out for some last minute shopping...

Pretty cakes at Starbucks

Back to Singapore from Narita!

Loves bought from Japan!

Now I have 2 Hello Kitties DSlite cases. Couldn't resist buying the dark pink one from Sanrio even though I already have one. But have decided to use the light pink one for my PSP cus it seems a little too large for my DS :) Love it!

Bought a new hair curler cus the braun curler doesn't seem to work anymore and the other curler takes a long time for my hair to be curled cus doesn't seem hot enough.

Hp accessories

Food

Boohooohoooo. 4 of my food stuffs (not here) got confisticated at the custom. Blur me didn't bother to check my handcarry luggage properly. Those weren't exactly liquid stuffs. All were in brand new unopened boxes, that's why I didn't really notice. And what pisses me off is all those that were confisticated were sold in the duty free area. And when you purchase them, they don't even seal up in plastic sealed bags. So what's their problem. All the food stuffs were meant for making bento for ben² :( So sad.

Craft stuffs

That's all.

I'm freaking tired now. Have been blogging for the past 7 hours. I'm going to bed with Buffie now. Guess dar³ should be reaching Johannesburg in 2 hours' time. Muackies!

I've been crying and crying for the past few days over the slightest thing. It's nearing the time of the month and my mood swing is even more accurate than the tell tales signs of rain from rheumatism pain. Every month, I get into depression the week before my period. The serious problem is I don't throw my temper or get just moody like the normal mood swing symptoms. The problem I'm facing is that I get extremely sensitive and emotional, and I can cry days and nights just from imagining things that do not exactly happen in reality. I don't know what's wrong with me and the very fact that I am not able to control it despite knowing the reason makes me feel even lousier. I know not only I'm suffering, but my poor boy has to bear my intolerable weird behaviour for a week. I don't know if he really understands what am I going through, and I know it's hard to accept it but I'm really trying my best. Samsam asked me to go to the doctor and see if there's anything the doctor can advise to aid the problem. She says that it may lead to pre-natal or post-natal depression in future, which I ever thought of it too. Maybe I should consult a doctor, but then again you know I have a phobia of seeing doctors. Sigh. I feel so bad for making dar³ go through this and I really appreciate the times he tried to be understanding.

Today I went to town for facial spa and I signed a new facial package. I must say that the ambience is nice, the place is big, the therapists' skills are pretty good but the service ain't that good due to the shortage of therapists from the overwhelming customers. I waited for very long after each step cus the therapist tried to shuffle herself between a few rooms I guess, and in the end I had 3 different therapists attended to me at different steps. I needed to relax so badly because I couldn't sleep well for the past few nights :(

After facial, went to sim lim square to get a new pc for my brother. While waiting for the parts to be assembled together, we went to bugis junction for shopping. Finally found the thing I've been looking for :) Went shops after shops just to look for one particular thing... and I'm totally in love with it :) So sweet.

Mummy sent me to Beauty World to get my ATM card replaced at the POSB bank. Boohoo... I can't get back my old school ATM card.

Anyway... the time on my com just ticked 12. It's the day I never fail to forget...

Happy 6th Month Daradardar!
Still counting the many more months to come :)...
ILOVEYOU.ILOVEYOU.ILOVEYOU.
MUACKIES!!!
IMISSYOU.IMISSYOU.IMISSYOU.IMISSYOU.IMISSYOU.
Yippies! Dar³ coming home tomorrow!

Loads of photos from Japan, but guess it will take some time for me to consolidate all the photos from different people. Bulk of it comes from my sis because I was too lazy to use my own cam. The weather was freezing cold that i refuse to remove my gloves to reach for my camera. Shall only blog about the trip after i receive and sort out the photos in order.

The day before i left for Japan... did a mini event with cecilia at swiss'otel. It was a company's D&D... the theme for the company's D&D was retro (Themes for companies' D&Ds are so always so predictable... not retro, then masquerade. yawnz.). And so the event company prepared our costumes. They were painstakingly detailed... from hairband to earrings to necklace to bangles to the dress. Love the colourful dress which was quite short... :)

After the event... went over to raffles city for shopping. Boom!.. in less than an hour... not only did i spent all my event earnings... i burnt a hole in my pocket from frantic shopping. I went to Robinsons... spent $200 plus on Biotherm products... wanted to give dardar a surprise when i see him at the airport. Bought cleansing gel, moisturizer, eye serum treatment and got him the travel size package because i thought it will be of great use for him. I haven't heard anything much about biotherm products, hopefully it's good. Was comtemplating whether to get Clarins or Biotherm for dar³, because I've been using Clarins ever since I was in primary school. But decided to get Biotherm because the sales girl was really nice and helpful.

I wanted to take a look at Mango to check out their winter wear, only to realise that they don't have a branch in raffles city anymore :( So I walked into Topshop and spotted a long wool coat that i quite like, and so i bought it in the end. I was in a pretty good mood so bought loads of food back home for my family to eat. The stuffs were so heavy that i couldn't wait to make my way to the taxi stand and head home straight.

Gave dar³ the surprise when he touched down from brisbane on 13th, the same night i flew off to Japan. Managed to meet up with dar for an hour plus inside the duty free area. Dar thinks i 'hiam' his complexion, that's why i bought his so many skincare. lol.

Met up with sammie on the day i came back :) Went to marina square cus sammie was doing her nails there. Gab came later... and we all did our hair at the zoom salon. Samsam did treatment, gabby had a haircut, and i got my hair dyed and trimmed. I don't really want my hair to be so bright... but i've got no choice. Whatever colour i dye... the colour goes back to the same after a few months. I can't keep dyeing the whole hair... my hair is already quite dry :( Nonetheless, i'm quite satisfied cus my hair don't look as messy as before :)

Went to sammie's family xmas party at her grandaunt's place. Was kind of amazed by her family because her family is really big. I thought my family is already considered very big... but hers seem even bigger. And her baby nephew Chester is so cute! I WANT BABY! (this sentence always frightens my dardar... he thinks i'm obssessed with babies)

Went to saint james with kylie that night...

Wasn't too good a night cus there were to many ahpeks in powerhouse. They were irritating the hell out of me. Kylie was so afraid that we would be bash up by them because I couldn't be bothered to even reply them when they tried to talk to me. And when we wanted to open bottle, the stupid Malaysian looking bartender say we would have to carry our own bottle, ice bucket, mixers and glasses and look for our own table. Yes, wth. He expected two girls to carry all these and look for our own space. Then one of the worse nightmare of the night came... we went to newton circus cus we wanted to eat supper... my atm card got trapped inside the atm machine at newton circus. I didn't even get to press my pin number and the damn machine didn't even indicate anything about my trapped card. I was in such a foul mood that i called up DBS and screamed at the poor cust svc officer, which is so unlike of me to lose my temper in such a manner. I think it's because... she keeps saying in a irritating tone... "I'm sorry madam, but I can't do anything."... "I can only send you a new replacement card one week later." The more she repeated this in that slow irritable tone, the more furious i got. I can't do any Christmas shopping, that was what I'm concerned most. Lesson learnt: Never rely solely on one card for shopping.

Met up with my dear girls the next day for our yearly xmas celebration. Had lunch buffet at Furama Hotel with Janice and Kylie. Gina couldn't join us for the buffet because she was held up by some competition. The variety was quite disappointing and the food didn't taste good either :(

Harkow and siewmai

Salmon sashimi

Soup

Meesiam

Seafood

Prata (dar³... i bet my pineapple cheese prata taste better than this)

Ham with honey pineapple and apple sauce
(i think this taste the best out of all the food there)

Chocolate fondue

More desserts...

It's not salmon this year... but ham. lol.

Janice's unique way of eating chocolate fondue...

Hershey's kisses from my sweetest kylie...

I love them :)

Went to far east plaza for shopping while waiting for gina. Gina came to pick us up and we headed to mind cafe.

Black and white chocolate brownie.

Apple crumble.

Mango tower.

Played the vegetable game again! And the girls mixed up lettuce with cabbage. Ops, it's probably because i told them about my experience playing with dar³ and cashe.

Xmas gift exchange time!

Kylie

Janice

Gina

Me!

We played only 2 games - vegetable game and coda, because we spent most of our time catching up. Thanks for the pressies and i look forward to the many years to come celebrating every Christmas with them :)

Love the girls and we all miss the good ole days... but we've retired from the clubbing scene for a long time. I still do club once in a while though. We used to doll up ourselves 3 times a week and head to the clubs. We have new clothes, new heels, new bags, new accessories and different hairdo each time we clubbed... especially for janice and i. I'm not exaggerating, I swear. That's probably the reason why my wardrobe and shoe cabinet is exploding like nobody's business. (I just cleared one whole big luggage of clothes cus my mum couldn't take it... i passed to her and let her help me get rid of it. Give them away or sell them... i left it up to her.) But it's all so different now. When we all meet up to club, we don't really bother to spend as much time and effort to doll up like in the past. I mean not that we wear shabbily to club now, but just that we ain't as fanatic clubbers as we used to be. Now, we usually head to the club, buy our own drinks, open our own bottle, find a comfortable corner and dance among ourselves. No more attracting attention, no more wanting to get to know more people. It's just purely enjoying the night with my girls. Although we do miss the good old memories... when we were only 18, 19 back then. But we all know we can never go back to those days... because we've grown up and have different and stronger priotities in life now. I'm somewhat glad we are what we are now. We've been through the best and exciting younger days in our life, nothing like what 22, 23 can experience... because it's just different. When you are young, you can afford to experiment new things... because once you hit mid 20s.. you start to realise you don't want to waste your youth spending time in the club, getting high and wasted, meeting bad ass guys, returning home in the wee hours and wake up with a hangover. All these seems meaningless when you look back, but it's never too late to realise when you are youthful and still full of radiance :) Now, we just want to have a decent job, a comfortable income, and spend more time with our loved ones. I can't deny that there are sometimes good reasons for you to be in a club. Otherwise i would be lying through my teeth... when I obviously know i met my happiness there :) And more so when there was a stroke of fate once again at the club where miracles and coincidences do happen, even when I wasn't there.

((Counting down the days to xmas, and dar³ will be back! It has been 2 weeks since i last saw dar³ at the airport for just an hour... I miss you so much dar³.))

Konbanwa~!

Greetings from Japan :)

Finally after nights of no access to the net here in Japan,
I'm currently staying in a hotel with Internet access.
The first thing I did after I turn on my macbook was to call dardar :)
The first night we managed to talk over the hotel phone for hours,
but the second night something was wrong with the hotel phone line :(
I miss you all! Can't wait to go back home.
Although I dreaded coming to Japan for vacation again...
but then it's undeniable that the scenary here is beyond awesome!
And and and... the food here is effing good... i seriously mean it.
The Japanese buffet spread is like 'omgoodness'... we have buffet for most of our meals
loads of sashimi, scallops, tempura, cold noodles, crabs, beef, sushi,
and not forgetting the wide variety of DESSERTS and the extremely sweet and juicy fruits!
It's probably to best 'food trip' i've ever gone out of all the times i traveled. no kidding.
None of us could resist every meal (breakfast, lunch, dinner and loads of snacking) even though all kept complaining that about the additional pounds at the rate we are eating.
(dar.. you'll still love me if i become fatty-bom-bom right?.. i promise i'll try to lose weight when i'm back in sg.)

Get very excited whenever it's shopping time!...
I squanded all my money away in less than 3 days :(
I still have 4 more days to go... if only heaven could snow some money down...
dardar is so going to scold me for spending so much money...
or rather he already scolded :(

Went to Jusco just now... bought loads of stuff...
typically most of the things in japan are extremely expensive.
but you just can't resist the pretty packagings.
More shopping in the coming days... wheeeeeee~~

Got to sign off soon... it's 2am plus here...
I have to wake up in another 3 hours' time.

Oyasuminasai.

((Dardardar! I miss you! Can't wait to go home soom...
You too quick come home from seoul/vancouver k!
I'm gonna hug you tight for hours and hours when i see you love.
Aishite imasu.))

Dar³ came back from perth and touched down in sg on tuesday morning. I didn't go to the airport this time because I meddled with the new blogskin till the wee hours. Hee... dar³ called me to ask where was i and asked if i was at the airport cus he parents went to pick him up. I told him I'm at home... he said ok and he'll call me again. Then dar³ got into the car and called me... the first thing he said was "Why ain't you making your way down?"...lol. I said... "Er... I wanted to ask you if you want me to go bishan mah." Dar replied... "Are you asking rubbish?"... WAH... it wasn't like that last time. In the past... he would always whisper softly... to ask me go and find him... then sometimes out of nowhere he appear at my gate. Dar explained... "Honeymoon ended." HMPH! But on the other hand... I'm happy when dar reacted this way... because I know both of us have become an important part in each other's life :)

We went for dinner at Swee Choon Dim Sum at Jalan Besar because I was craving for their fried mee sua. Dar³ keeps complaining i'm too fat... i admit i am :( Samsam came to join us :)

Lor Mai Kai and 凤爪

Fried tofu with pork floss

Deep fried banana with prawn and Fried mee sua!

After dinner, we headed to boat quay to meet cashe.

Hee... my dar³...

oh man... what happen to my dear samsam's face...

i was so afraid that gab would scream the hell out of me if he knew we let samsam drink.
(Please don't k... i only let her drink because it's red wine...)

Ben² and Cashe

Oh no... what did samsam did this time?...

She put down the wine glass on the table with slightly more strength...
the base of the glass broke away from the stem of the glass... lol.
don't know how she did that... quite amazing hur.

Irritating boys... supposed to take a snapshot of sam, pearly and i...
when we were all ready for the shot...
dar suddenly turn the camera to take himself and cashe

frannie, sammie, pearly...

we were all in a high mood...
not "high" as in drunk... but cranky...
took out some of our luxury loves...
gucci, lv, chanel, kate spade, coach, burberry

my boo! he purposely act so stoned...

pose properly la KHW!

Backed at home :)

((I'm happy for you babe :) Don't worry too much... everything will be just fine!))

We went for late night supper on Wednesday night. And dar drove all the east coast hoping to eat the carrot cake at the hk cafe I've been craving for. But the last order was over by the time we reached there :( In the end, we went to the other hk cafe nearby. But the food there isn't as nice :( and they didn't have fried carrot cake.

Handmade noodles with beef brisket

Handmade noodles with fried pork chop

Dessert! Mango with Pomelo

Went to the 24hrs supermarket after that to buy Chipster sour cream chips and Nissin cup noodles for dardar's mama... cus she likes my favourite sour cream chips t00! I wanted to restock a lot of cup noodles for her but dardar dragged me out of the supermarket :( saying that i got the 'heart' can already and only allowed me to buy 4 cups :( (AND HE TOU CHI ONE CUP THE VERY DAY! I'm going to buy one dozen when he's not around :p)

Early in the morning (was actually close to 12 noon)... when i was still fast asleep... dar came to wake me up. I asked... "Why must wake up so early?"... and he said...
"WAKE UP NOW... GO BRUSH YOUR TEETH.. AND COME OUT NOW"...
and he took my toothbrush out from the cupboard for me. I lugged myself out of bed and went out of the bedroom. Then dar's mama and papa asked me to go to the kitchen and check out what's my dar doing. I walked into the kitchen and dar was there cooking breakfast for me! Omgoodness... so touched. He actually bothered to modify the pancake recipe by searching for pancake recipes online. Instead of just mixing the pancake mix with water (as given by the instructions on the box)... he mixed the pancake mix with milk, beaten fluffy egg white, and sugar. And bought strawberry jam too!...

Hotcakes with honey and strawberry jam!

Dar said it's his first time ever cooking for someone... so cute.
(but he now always use this breakfast to 'teh' me :( he keeps emphasizing... cus it's his FIRST time.
Moral: there's a price to pay for being so loved. lol.)
Nonetheless... I'm still very very happy and touched :)
MR KHOO's hotcakes are the tastiest hotcakes in the world! Love love.

YESYES... I heard all of your screams... "Change blogskin!!!" I know "My.Materialistic.Dreams" is hanging all of your coms.

At last! After sticking with the previous blogskin for the longest time ever... I am once determine to design a new skin again!

I've been sitting in front of my com, designing and doing the html codes my new blogskin for the past 6 hours. And it's not really perfect yet... :( I seriously hate to toggle in between Mozilla, IE and Safari just to get the one set of codes that can fit for all three best. Can't they be a little more synchronize... and make things easier for webmakers, for students who struggle to create webbies for projects?

On a happier note... I am quite satisfied with my new skin :)

And my greatest motivation for changing this skin is...
I want to give my dearest boyfriend a surprise when he comes back from Perth tomorrow!

I know he has been very nice and has never once complained about the previous skin despite things that should be removed from the skin long ago have not been removed. Love you dar³!

p.s. my mozilla seems to be much slower than safari and explorer... the picture doesn't load totally. If you happen to face the same prob... lemme know k!

28th November 2008
It was dar³ last day of reservist!
he only had to be in camp for less than 2 hours.
And on the same day.. it was my SSA paper.
After the paper, dar³ came to sch to pick me up and we headed back to Bishan.
Both of us fell asleep till very late and wanted to go for dinner when we woke up.
Realised there was pasar malam downstairs when dar³ drove out of the estate.
In the end, we decided to walk the pasar malam and eat those junk food instead.

Brought minnie out with us :)

my dardar wasn't least prepared for the candid shot...
that explains the heart-shaped over his mouth.. lol.

FOODIE!!!

We bought loads of food.. was too busy eating till we forgot to take the rest except the first one we bought. lol. Bought takoyaki, ramly burger, otah, fried champeeda, shark fin soup, tea egg, bubbletea... can't remember what else we bought.

29th November 2008
Dar and i woke up late...
went to town cus i wanted to check out all the boutiques before dar head to milan.
Had lunch at Central Hongkong Cafe at Taka.

Pork floss with tofu

XO Seafood fried rice!

XO Fried Carrot Cake! (samsam this one also very nice!)

3rd December 2008
Met up with samsam at yew tee around 10pm...
samsam's mummy came along :)
went to the supermarket cus she needed to stock up her food for flight...
and i wanted to buy ingredients to make 爱心早餐 for baobei.

4th December 2008
I didn't sleep the entire night...
headed to the airport early in the morning...
to see my dar³ who i've not met for 6 days.
Had dim sum for breakfast at the airport...

Back at Bishan...
the first thing dar³ did was to take out all my stuffs from his cabin bag...

dar³ bought nutella sticks (eating them right now)
and hello kitty chocolates back for me :)

the chocolates came with tiny hello kitties :)

chocolates with hellow kitty faces...

Both the chanel bag and prada wallet...

dar³ gave me the prada wallet as x'mas pressie...

(thankew dar³!!! muacks!...
dun worry the wallet is in good hands...
will treasure it like a baby :))

Dar³... thanks for making the effort to find all these stuffs for me...
and bring them back safely :) I really appreciate the effort :)

In the evening... we went to town to catch Cape No. 7 海角七號.
Enjoyed the show even though it doesn't really make sense that they fall in love out of a sudden.
And I can't seem to link the Japanese background story to the modern foreground storyline.
But i guess love is probably this unpredictable in this baffling perplexing times we live in...
it doesn't need much explanation for two to fall in love :)
And yes, i love the beautiful yet somewhat realistic cinematography. (oh man too much of gek2020)

mr donut with his lovely girlfriend...
i really love this funny photo of us!

my boyfriend, my bestfriend, my lover, my everything...

dar³! what you looking at!

Happily taking photos...
until sickening dar³ had the chance to play a trick on me...
he made the lift stopped at another level...
in a state of oblivion... i walked out of the lift...
and panicked when i didn't see familiar surroundings...
i turned back and saw dar³ still standing in the lift laughing at me :(
so bad... he did this to me despite knowing that i'm afraid of corridors.

still taking the moment i stepped out of the lift...
not knowing i was on the wrong level. lol...

backed in the house... still taking!

a bottle of white wine for the night :)

5th December 2008
Pancakes for breakfast!
Was supposed to do this for dar³ as a surprise...
but i reckoned that i'll be late at the airport if i went ahead with the plan.
So with no other choice, i packed everything i needed..
pancake mix, honey, heart-shaped mold and brought it along with me.

So dar woke up and did the pancakes with me...
even though he disappeared halfway...

Both of us were fighting to see who can cook the most perfect pancake...
we each had to 2 attempts to prove ourselves...

dar's first attempt...

my first attempt...

A stack of heart-shaped pancakes!!!... (the top piece was done by me!)

Pancakes with Honey...

In the night... all prepared for a fantabulous night!
Both of us had the urge to club...

Went to Bar De Alto to join Hubert and his friends...

Still sober? I doubt so...

poor dar³ felt totally violated... lol

wHhoooooHHoooooooooooooooo! Exams are OVER!
damn happie... the past 2 weeks was such a torture...
i could count the number of hours i slept over 1 week.
and i can't even nap peacefully each time i tried to...
i get exam nightmares... and the words just keep spinning non stop...
the weirdest dream i had during my 1 hour nap was...
i dreamt that i was walking on a street with dar³ filled with Japanese soldiers...
it was the aftermath of studying for SSA... history stuff.
was really stressed up...
trying my best to cramp as much stuff as i could into my head...
can cry :'( it's probably the most stressful one among all the other semesters...
because film art and history was enough to stress the hell out of me.
and really sway enough...
2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY came out for exam today...
out of the 7 films we had to study...
the only one that I didn't study AT ALL for came out.
I was damn spot on... (i hoped i wasn't so spot on this time round)
dar³ kept telling me don't worry... 6 out of 7 is safe...
and he said... "I thought you very good at spotting questions." (jiahwa and gary can witness that)
and i replied... "That's precisely why I'm scared... cus i got a very strong feeling that one will come out."
aiya... you must be thinking if so why i still don't study that...
cus that's the mosttttt boring movies of all... stupid science fiction movies.
surprisingly i managed to write quite alot for that essay...
thanks to wiki!!! "wiki is my good friend!"
but then again it's not about quantity.. it's about quality...
anyway.. it's OVER!

it's nicer to indulge in reminisce of pretty moments :)...

8th November...
dar³ and i brought minnie, mickey and bunny out together with us...

went to joo chiat to meet sammie, gab and the other rx8 guys...
after a long time (sammie nodding head?)...
the guys decided to head to bugis...
don't know what was their intention...
cus after parking all their cars...
everyone just stood at the carpark chatting non-stop...
what else... but all about cars...
sammie and i ran off to the dessert store at the next lane...
sat there and have our happy time eating desserts...
and even when we were done... went back to look for the guys...
they were still standing chatting non-stop... diaoz.
i took dar³'s keys... on the engine and air con...
happily sat in the car with sam... lol.
finally... dar³ came in...
and say we're heading to elsewhere for supper!
FINALLY FOOD!!!

went to the 茶餐厅 at the east...
(the place where dar³ and i met up again for the 1st time after we lost contact:))

sammie and frannie :)

ben² and gab

i think it's pork chop rice... (wait for dar to correct me)

sam's porridge

Carrot cake! very nice... craving for it now...
dar³ say when he's back from milan.. he bring me go and eat again.. hee.

after supper... the rx8 guys wanted to go rounding...
so dar³ and i tagged along with them to pasir ris...
we went to the big industrial carpark twice...
both times had interesting encounters...
the first time... in the midst of sam's and gab's turn...
a police car appeared right in front of their car...
the polic turned on their lights...
all the cars quickly drove off.
Then we went to a nearby petrol kiosk.
When dar³ and i arrived... sammie ran to us...
and excitedly say.. "Got ICE CREAM inside!"...
and i literally thought "ice cream"...
petrol kiosk sure got ice cream one mah...
until she brought me in and pointed at the ice creams hanging down from the ceiling...
den i realised she was referring to "ICE CREAM!"......

i told dar³ the same thing...
he said "You want to eat ice cream? Okay lor... we go and buy..."
i said "NONOOO!"...
he went inside... then realised what we were referring...
he was going to faint... cus getting too many!...
but he still bought for me in the end :) ... hee.

still in suspense?...

see the "ice cream" now?

still got 2 more not in pic... (hahaaa.. not the lastest pic)...
we've got egg, vegetable, peas, strolla-bellee, ice cream...
and 2 more 'mysterious' ones now=p... we just bought one new one!... damn cute la! *dar³ faints*
will take pic soon!

oh yah... sidetrack too much...
anyway we attempted to go the the carpark the 2nd time...
this time we were all more vigilant...
dar³ and i spotted a car parking in between the trucks...
so we decided to check it out...
we reversed the car into the empty slot next to it...
i saw the front seat was pushed to the front downwards...
so something must be happening at the backseat...
but couldn't see anything and we didn't dare to shine torch at them...
then sam and gab came to take over the slot... lol...
and the couple quickly tried to cover the window...
and later all the rx8 came and high beam at the car...
we were all damn bad... poor victimized car...
but it was fun!

9th November...
we met up with samsam and gab in the evening...
for dinner and movie at marina square...
watched Solace of Quantum...

friend wanton!

after movie, we went over to the 香港茶餐厅...
he refused to let me know what he ordered...
hee... he ordered strawberry ice cream dessert :)...

see any difference?...

can't see right?...
dar screamed at me when i scraped the heart shape away unknowingly...
he scraped a heart shaped on the ice and turned it to face me...
but i thought he just wanted to eat my side... lol.

we went to boay quay to meet cashe...

11th November 2008...
dar³ and i went around to different pet shops at toa payoh, serangoon and thomson...

that's dar³ and i... lol... my dar was dragged into doing this with me...

Storyboard... which involved dar³ as the lead 'actor'. lol.

dar³ came to school to pick me...
then we went back to Bishan to sleep...
woke up.. went to Arab st to buy more Swarovski crystals...
went to china town people's park... wanted to get some stuffs...
then we went to for dinner buffet at Holiday Inn Atrium...

food was so-so only... very little variety.

Desserts time!
this time... i suggested a dessert decor challenge...
dar³ happily took up the challenge...

i was overconfident... thought anyhow do also can win...
so i....

Creations:

1. "Fill your hearts content..."

2. Lucy's fantasy (don't ask me why... i also don't know)

3. My Valentine...

4. "Jingle bells... jingle bell... jingle all the way..."

Oh man... finally down with 1 last paper!
Can't wait for the clock to struck 3pm tomorrow...
erm... actually not really... cus tmr's paper is the one i dread most!
and i haven't started studying at all!!! i'm going stick my ass in the exam hall tmr...
praying that "The Road Home" will be tested...
god... film art... everyone says good what! can watch movie during lecture...
actually i can count number of times i attended this module lecture...
er... 4 times the most? Greed, Psycho, Goodbye Dragon Inn?...
or maybe just 3 times. It's a miracle if I can pass this module...
I MUST! I can't allow a "U" (unsatisfactory) in my transcript...
even though I've been trying to tell myself it's ok if i get it this sem...
since next sem I only have 2 modules left to clear! *choychoychoy*

Anyway, my plan was to blog everything at once tomorrow...
BUT... I can't wait for tomorrow to come...
so this is pre-end-of-exam post...

On 7th November...
dar and i went all the way to Doggy Paws at East Coast...
to look at the red toy poodles...
there was one that we liked initially...
she has got a pretty cute face...
(but we didn't get it in the end...
cus the 2nd time we went down to take a look again on another day...
which we were almost 70% decisive in getting it...
we saw that her siblings/ friends had skin rash...
patches of skin without fur... so we were skeptical about getting her)
anyway back to the day itself... after taking a look at the puppies...
dar³ brought me to the nearby Aston for dinner...
we wanted discuss at the same time before committing to get the puppy.
after much discussion, we decided to look around first since that was the first pet shop we went.

I can't remember what it is exactly...
but some potato stuff...

Mine! Sirloin Steak! or is it Tenderloin?...
I forgot also... lol.

Dar³'s!
I think it's cod fish if I didn't remember wrongly...
right dar³?

After dinner... we headed to PS...
wanted to watch movie...
I think we watched 'High School Musical'...
ops... it was a bad bad choice... (even though i've been trying to deny it)...
both dar³ and i fell asleep in the midst of the show...

Before the movie... we went to catch 'babies' again!
or rather... feeding machines with tokens.
But this time... we didn't go home empty handed...
dar³ manage to catch this bunny :)
(still not too sure of her name up til now... will someone enlighten me?)

my sickening dar³...
ask him take photo with her...
see what he did...

he go and 'poke' her ass 'vigorously'...

bunny loves to eat brownie!

"i'm too short... can you feed me?...
i want that red red cherry..."

ok.. just a short post...
back with tons and tons of photos after tmr!
whooooHooooHoooohooo!
gonna take a nap first before i start my last night of overnight mugging...

p.s. oh yah! AGNESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!...
i really burnt a hole in my pocket after the night of chanel conversation!
one chanel bag and a prada wallet... boom!... $$$$ gone...

time to get back to work...

Since e-learning tutorial is only held on even weeks, means even weeks max hours in sch is 5 hours.
And i predict i won't be able wake up for E-learning lecture (Wed 8-10am).
This makes only 3 hours on odd weeks.

Xmas pressies for my dearest boy-
Burberry black label wallet which I bought in Japan,
The musical waterball from Precious Moments,
and a handphone accessory from Japan.

lol. dar³'s mummy asked why i wrapped dar's pressie so much nicer than hers.

Bento!

Onigiris with tuna and salmon fillings

Japanese Beef Curry, onigiris, brocolli

The wallet. If you're wondering why it's a long wallet,
that's because mr khoo wants a long wallet. And I like it too!

See what dar³ got for me from seoul...

At the mattress

I ordered Gummiberry, and I totally love the top of the drink, melted marshmallow. Dar³ had "The Loof Orginal", very refreshing.

Left Loof and was heading to cineleisure to meet sam and gab to catch 葉問。

Had a bit of food at Shokudo before movie starts in 10 minutes.

Our mini-feast with sparkling wine

White wine mussels cooked by Ron. Yummilicious!

Potato Chips! 100% potato, no preservatives.
Not buy off the shelves potato chips k!

Our bacon wrapped platter -
scallops, baked fish, golden mushrooms

Convenience grilled salmon prepared by dar's sis

On sunday late noon, dar³ brought me to East Coast Park 师奶茶餐厅 for carrot cake, without telling me he was going to bring me there.

Salted fish fried rice with char siew bits

Spicy and salty pork chop rice

Fried XO carrot cake! Happy happy :)

The flat bunny. Had to pump cotton into bunny.

Bunny's heart. Had to rub the heart in the palms to give it warmth. Shake 3 times and say your wish to it. Then, blow a kiss to the heart.

Had to give bunny a clean shower.

And I seriously did give it a good brush under the shower blower.

So many clothes to choose from!

Dressing Room

We selected a few and tried on bunny...

Bikini swimwear with bag and towel

Nope. No doubt, bunny look very cute in it but she looks too fat in it.

Casual babydoll spaghetti top with hot shorts.

Nope. Nothing special.

Pink, silver, white striped blouse with baby pink mini skirt.

Yes. It's in one of our top choices.

Hot pink flurry hood sweater with hot pink pants

We liked the top but not the pants

Hot pink flurry hood sweater with denim mini skirt.

Hmm. Bunny doesn't seem comfortable wearing it.

Pink bathrobe with rabbit shoes

Hmm... looks comfy and sweet too.

So guess our final choice?

Our choice: Bathrobe with white/pink shades.

And I have pink undie too!

It has the feel of bunny going on a resort holiday.

Daddy, Mummy and Buffie!

Buffie and her birth certificate

I heart Buffie!

Dar³ did this for me when he was in Vancouver...

I ♥ U TOO!
I ♥ U TOO!
I ♥ U TOO!

Ahhaaa. It's all about a day which commemorates the male organ.

Fresh well water used for brewing sake.

Aizu Samurai Residence. Aizu Samurai’s life in the Edo period.

Goshikinuma, a five colour pond depending on weather conditions.

For this, I have to say that the one 五彩池 (pic1, pic2) we saw in 九寨溝 Sichuan China was far much nicer.

Sis and I

Yukata. The same old tradition pic taken each time I visit Hot Spring Resort in Japan... just that the face gets older every year. lol.
