some backdated pictures from Yester-year.

It was Jian Ji's birthday... you'll see most of my secondary mates here.... we've all grown soooooooo much Group pic of the ensemble.. There was always a "3xCrystals" lying in the air...


Another group pic.. most of us grew up.. work, got our partners... so the once a year meetup was appreciated.. we did quick updates to each other about our lives.

The 2xCrystals/// hahha/// we have Kristal & Krystle taking pictures tgr.. she is a very very sweet girl, other than the fact that she wasnt from Deyi, my Girl and i pretty much treat her as one of us....

My Girl & i

Swollen Eye master... his mini-eyes are further minimize due to an eye-infection...

My Girl- i miss you much!

The Ex.. hahaha.. i like this joke!

What can i say? !!!!!!!!!!! i miss times when my girl&i chat like there was no tomorrow. Sharon besties cannot join us this year due to her work commitment.... i guess i look forward to this day every year.. we meet.. chat by the pool....

I sure wish i had that mood to do more light hearted post..



All has been well with exception from the sudden news of bbbbbbbbb's buddy. His dad was discovered with the 4th stage liver cancer and haven got much good news to share. I hope he is coping well... but who on earth can cope with such news?



I suddenly recall those last few days with Grandma... i guess some feelings dont sink in till you really lost the person.. I was the most frustrated, more untouchable at the moment. I had a strong layer of wall surrounding, at that point of time, i dont wan anyone to offer their advice, i dont want anyone to tell me all is fine.

"what do they know? Are they losing someone too?"




i rather take it in myself, jail myself in the world i believe was still evolving.. i wanted some time alone with her.... i dont want anyone to join me... she was mine, all mine..




Den after weeks of struggle, she left... and the only clear impression i had of that day was the moment her hands turn all stiff and cold..


The hand all warm and tender immediately turn cold and stiff


Many years later, i haven forget her... i've learnt that she had left, but not completely... i know some part of her still linger.... i can feel it... perhaps it was her way of encouraging me to move on with life.. Thank you Grandma..










On a lighter note, pic attached are taken on a recent prison-run held in Changi Prison, it was a great even if not for the part where my BB died due to the heavy rain we ran in.. bbbbbbbb've taken a liking in running and we are opting for more. We've also make a note to try scuba diving tgr.... i like how we can deep interest in something tgr, so suddenly.






Also, i had the chance to meet Green Apple Green Tea last weekend. We chill in her room and just talk, been a llong time since we did something silly like that.. and i really enjoy it... back in Secondary school, we usually chill at her place while playing DDR, and GreenAppleGreenTea will surprise us with her cooking... did i mention ? Her mum makes the BEST yongTauFoo on earth!















Then comes Sat where bbbbb and i attended babyCuz's 21st birthday.. it's the best party i've ever attend and she made a speech so touching it warm my heart till today... Haven got the permission to share the pic as of now so we shall all be kept in dispense... The theme was "Lace & Bow" so you can look forward to lots of picture of pretty babes. My BabyCuz herself was so pretty that day.... Mum told me BabyCuz shed some tear of joy? i cant tell but it was a touching event...
















bbbbbbb and i spend every other day tgr during the weekend, we did movie and thats about it.. we have a major plan coming right up so spending it out of bound at the moment.. as such.. i refrain myself from entering town to resist that temptation.... i hope i can share this piece of news with you all soon..

Receive a pretty sad news today.... something that devote me of the excitement, the luck i tot i had carry with me... hate that news super bad.... bbbbbbb was around to cheer me up....


i can foresee this half a year to be a super busy time now.. with the new school terms and new role at work... i aim:

- not to throw my frustration at bf no matter what.. He's feeling pretty low about this friendship lately

- to pass my last sem and get a perm job with satisfying pay no matter what. I am hoping this current position adds a star to my resume

- start driving lessons.. if i can find time on top of my tight study+work schedule

- leave sunday job into Gary's care.. and concentrate my weekend with my loves one

- buck up on cherishing Cousins+Pau altogether

- clear housing debts faster than Dad has planned

Darby is really really good to me now... if he hadnt been around during this period i dunno how life can be any good. We've surived our long distance relationship, and am going stronger.... His Brother's gf just left for Aussie days ago, its the beginning of another LDR.

Somehow i saw our shadow cast on them when i heard the news.. but i know they are strong enough to withstand this years... I wont say its too long for 2 person who truly want to make "it" happen. Look at us now... one year on, after not seeing each other for 12 months... i dare say we are so good together still, it makes u jealous.

And it feels really good knowing no matter how uneven the current is right now.. you can always fall back and expect someone to stretch our their arms and hold you tight. i love how their family bond, and i am not the only one to agree on this...

I actually have colleagues coming up telling me how they are impress by their family bond, this- i am proud- to carry on with darby in future... i want it tohappen.

Situation at home aint doing too good,. last night Dad and cousin went to her house and ransack the place for any valuable stuff, we manage to sold off her TV for some quick bucks, and there are lot more other stuff worth the $$ (and some other truly disturbing stuff that irritates the shit out of me)

The rest are planning to get rid of her convertible, sure it can bring them some $$.. there aint no time for sympathy at the moment, towards her i am filled with nuttin by hatred. The life she left behind those burden for us, she no longer earn much respect in the house.. All i can say it..

Those you grew up together with may not be always appear to be who they are, and for that - i no longer wish to look upon you like a learning example, NI BU PEI!

Rants aside, i wanna learn driving soon, Dad has no objection to throw the car to me upon my license,.... really hope to get it going...

and i wanna tk a break soon from all this mess, at home, at work, at school... and just spend time IDLING with darby... when was the last time anyone sit down and stare and wonder what they should do next? We are constantly filled with "to-do" list to tick... and i detest that.

Nevertheless, i wish to end off this post happily.... darby is turning older soon.. and so it Pau & viv and i cant wait for all the partying to bring this trouble off my mind.. at least for a while.

some ridiculously heartwarming pictures from Cheryl's birthday

Am loving dinner like this... and my family took a positive changes with influences from bbbbbbbbbbb's. We officially complete our first family outing (after what seems forever) and went on to do some simple shopping at Tampinese Mall..

what's even more surprising was Bro's idea to go kite flying in East Coast, after he saw me pestering bbbbbbb to get me a kite...

and bbbbb was the sweetest... he drove me around looking for an ideal kite and i finally settled down on a Princesses one... cant wait to get it flying soon!!!

And there is the weekend that had just past where BBB and i spend everyday together, there were movie with his sis and her bf..... our new-found jogging routine around woodbridge and Ah mei's cafe...

i hope every weekend will be as fufilling as this =)

the ex-boyfriend

Met a friend last night....... you cant say we are friends exactly.....







He said something- everyone changes! Indeed he change quite a bit since the last time i saw him- to be exact he told me it was 30kg!









You remember how you use to fell for ths guy in school and tried so hard to link him to the girl of his dream.. then in the end you ended up with him for a longer period than anyone can imagine, withstand all forms of hardship and stood up for him when he was accuse of stealing..









those were my past.. it last me from secondary till my poly years.. needless to say he was a man of impression, at least for me it was a deeper impression than anyone else.









So i saw him yesterday and after discussing with bbbbbbbb i decide to make the first move by going over to say hi for he was really busy with his work.













a little nervous at first cos afterall our ending wasnt all that pleasant.... but we had a pretty ok chat... he was more confident of himself now due to the physique loss and am very outspoken... he told me he saw me once but din came over to say hi for he was rushing off somewhere else...















isnt is strange how we can no longer talk like old friends? I felt like we were complete stranger and those overnight conversation last time seems non-existence... i do want to know how he is doing now cos afterall the him i know earlier had a hard time coping with life. I do want to know if he can cope with his life, his siblings and his family now....















I know bbbbb will support me in this feeling cos sometimes the first crush is always unforgotten... i am concern about a friend more than anything else!

















but i guess.... the akwardness is there and his empowering confident makes me inferior and less "able" to strike a conversation...














in either case, i ought to thank bbbbbb for giving me the support and suggesting i should strike a conversation first. At the very least i know- he trust me enough to handover his "gentleman-ness gene" to me.. haha

Dear Diary,

i;ve contemplate about penning down every other thoughts contain inside me for the sole reason of not wanting to sound like i am boasting...




i am leading a wonderfully great life.. and my bf and i are doing well together. I guess when two hearts found each other, nuttin comes harder for me anymore..






Remember all --" You dont miss the water till the well runs dry"





no one should wait till it is too late to regret and start missing someone else.. Cherish all you have with you one.. one very fine day you might wake up in shock cos you havent got anything left...







i wish you luck ..





till my next post.. takkaire



~Sweet.Silly.Stinky.Sleepyhead~

Just some pictures to share my joy before i leave for another road trip...... this time its longer...


i am super looking forward to my first DisneyLand Tour and Eiffel Tower visit...... bbbbb's mum and sis are halfway across the globe to meeting us now....



The flight is long and tiring..... and the transit suck to the max... but its all worth it and bbbbbbb plan soooooo much activities to be done Auntie and Cheryl wont regret it a single bit...


And i've done sooooooooooooooooo much shopping at Primark one daily basis that out of the 10 cashier available for payment.... i've covered cashier 8 three times... cashier 2, cashier 3, cashier 9 and cashier 10....


Imagine i'm only in Newscastle for like 8 days? wahahha.. not to mention the Primark over at Manchester which i've joyfully covered as welll....... My gals are gonna be proud =)

This was outside our dorm.... the bridge leads to bbbb's school (another part.. the school is huge) the good news is that the sunlight here last till 12 midnight... so even thou you see me taking picture in daylight all the time... its perhaps already 9pm in the night...
\

Worst part was trying to sleep when the sun still shines.... thank God for the cool weather that serve as a consolation =)

We took lots of picture at the Coast.. which was a huge beach and sadly... no nude swim there... wahhahah


The temperature here are cold all the time.... even wearing the black maxi dress above makes me shiver....... but the visit there was definitely worth it... i love that place... !!

nonsence aside... i met the most beautiful mix blood babies of my entire life... just recalling how i told Denise and Sharon since young that i wanted to married a AM just to produce them already made me super jealous.... They are Rodman's nieces and their mum left me to care for them for like two days?


Ellie is 9 months old and Anna is 3... we were there to celebrate Anna's birthday and she's the prettist young lady alive!!! and best of all.. her english is far too perfect i had a hard time catching up...



Best joke of the year was we were told to speak to Anna in Chinese so she can learn them,..
"Anna..... Jing Tian Shi Anna der Shen Ri...... ni yao Chuan Der Mei Mei der... hao mah?"

Immediately after that.. Anna was mad at me.... i was confuse till she blurt out...
"No.. Kristal AhYi... today's Anna's birthday... not Mei Mei's birthday.. its Jie Jie's!!!'




i laugh so badly my tummy hurts...

Bbbbbb toook me on a tour to Manchester united Stadium.... we learnt alot about the history of the club as well as sit on the changing lounge the player sat (i... of course had my fair share of bumming my ass on gigg's seat.... mad mad happy!!)


There were Rooney's seat too which was a hot spot.... and the chair for the audience for the important people are made of leather sponsor by a sport car.... not sure what.. i have super bad memories... gonna check with bbb on this one..


The Ferris Wheel was situated outside a shopping mall in Manchester... a smaller version of ours in Singapore but definitely better scenery...... \




tata for now.. see you all in 14 days... cheers =)
