28th june -


We celebrated Daniel's bdae at HotPot Culture. It's been a mth since i met up with them. We were lucky to see the fireworks near the restuarant. 1 of the NDP rehearsals happened to be on that day!

Then we went to Top One KTV.

I still think the mike covers looked like buns!

Jason pushed me away and i looked happy. haha

We took turns to take photos of the other 4:

The aftermath of NS: GAYS!

29th June:

My 1st mth with JW! He woke up one early morning and went to book the tickets for Singapore Flyer. Wows! i was so amazed. i see the change in him from a close fren to a boyfren. And i'm still kind of not used to it. He said i looked like his classmate, diao! i am his classmate!

This is a photo where the staff would take for us before we went into the cabin. The background is fake. We spent $15 buying this photo. This is a strict security check before we can go for the ride. And the security happen to be my fren. Do we happen to look like terriorists?!

This photo was taken in the cabin. It is rather dark with blue lights. i like our white teeth. Oops, i wasn't supposed to post any of his pics out. He cut his hair because of reservist and has an ultra low self esteem now.

It wasn't very packed as it was a Sunday. Most ppl has got work the next day. Our cabin only contains us with a China couple & a Japanese family. About 10 of us in total. Japanese kids were running around & they were so cute!

The ferris wheel would turn very slowly for the entire 30 mins. I think it stopped for sometime at the 1/4, 1/2 & 3/4 part of the ride. $29.50 per person and u have to 'check in' half an hr before the ride starts.

I took some photos of the place near the ferris wheel while waiting..

Below the ferris wheel:

There are many unique shops, like soveniours shops and the fish spa shop.

It started raining once our cabin were at 1/4 of our ride. And the sceneries became blurred. SAD. But it's ok, there will still be a next time.*Positive* My cam kept capturing the rain droplets formed on the glass of the cabin. But Jun Wen's cam could capture better images.

But still not so clear. U got to be there to feel the excitement, just like i did. When i was at the top, wows, that feeling was so great! i could see Suntec City, Mandarin Hotel, Esplanade, Raffles City ...! i pointed to him that i saw my Serangoon Avenue 1 Blk 405 and he simply just can't believe me this canon. Haha.

More than 10 said we look alike. Do we?! We thought that it could be our vampie teeth. Haha. maybe cos we look like kids.

We went to the garden below the wheel.

U have to spend $1 to get the capsule from this 'vending machine'.

He could snap the cabin below us so clearly. Cool! Saw the garden below it?

He insisted that i must smile to his cam. But i insisted not to. u know, i'm such a shy girl. HAha. So he persisted to take surprise shots of me.

I made a distorted face and i think i blend in with the surroundings. i give it a 10 out of 10 for his photography skills. haha. NO LAUGHING!

i was so totally unaware! ..

We were in front of the cave. He is so cute! i'm hao lian again, i know. Pls forgive me.

SO CUTE! Here i go again! Haha. the 2 pairs of vampie teeth. Finally got someone's teeth accompany my teeth.

There was 'Popeye'! It was something like KFC. Being both a KFC fan, we had our 2nd dinner at Popeye. And our 1st was at Hip Diner (sub branch of Billy Bombers). A sinful day. 1st it was roast chicken then it was fried chicken. I'm becoming more like him, feeling hungry all the time. Oh NO!







And i still wouldn't smile to his cam. I tried to be cool but failed.

I was enduring my laughter.

Endure, endure! After this pic, i finally burst out laughing!

4th july -

Had lunch with Bi Han and Sharon at pastamania. Jun Wen went home as he has fallen sick & so dizzy. Poor guy. We sat in my workplace till it was time for me to work. A total of 4 hours. We shared 3 pizzas and 3 combos. Super full. Found that i got closer with them since the sch hols started. I was glad that now our conversation is more personal now, not so surface as before. Yeah, 10 mths of friendship! Love u both!

6th july -

Jun Wen has to go Shanghai for voluntary work with 18 of his hostel mates. 15 days of helping the needy. He is going there to help refurbish and rebuild homes for the elderly and the orphans. That silly Uhu glue couldn't sleep the night before. And he just wouldn't tell me the reason why. Haha.

I was at the airport sending him off. I met his parents and my heart skipped a beat when i saw them.

We were at Terminal 3.

A picture speaks a thousand words. I have to admit my classmate is taller. Even though i always thought he is as tall as me. (Or i shld say as short as me.)

While we were sitting down taking photos, Tuck Wei fake fake walked pass. SO QIAO! He was there sending his fren off too! His fren is going for further studies for 2 years. Yea, got myself a companion for breakfast. Wows, i met my 2 lao gongs at the same time!

When it was time to go..

Uhu glue kept turning back and waving.. And waving. And continued waving. Until his fren slapped his back and hurried him. Haha. i will miss him. u might have thought that i cry. i didn't hor. But, yes i was abt to. Haha.

The past mth was great. It's hard to find someone so similar to me. Wow! i couldn't believe it myself. He is so me. i could see myself in him. i found my twin. Haha.

Now my sore throat became flu, blocked ears and blocked nose. Feel like i'm on a plane all the time. I got a little fever just now. Was so afraid that it might be dengue. i saw a mosquito bite still not healed on my arm and i got so paranoid. JW brought me to Fort Canning last Sat and i fed many mosquitoes. i am so paranoid! Oh pls, let it not be dengue!

My colleague, Dean, asked me to pick any 2 number tags from my counter and gave them to me. I didn't really take it seriously. Closed my eyes and anyhow picked up 2. The 1st number tag is 12 while the 2nd one is 37.



And tata!



1237





He told me it was a lousy set of numbers but he will still buy it. HAHA

Then later that very same day, JW msged me, "Hey my lucky star, give me a set of number to buy 4D leh, i very poor liao lei."

Wa, 2 people on the same day asked me to give them 4 digits!







The next day, the top prize is 7132! i just cant believe it. All the 4 digits came out! Wow!









However, Dean wanted to buy 7123 and it was sold out. He didn't attempt to buy eye bag. SAD

I thought Jun Wen would buy. And i knew he always have this habit of buying eye bag. But he didn't buy as the quene was too long that day. And he felt very shy to quene with all the ah pehs. DOTS! There goes the top prize!

Dean was so surprised. He told Agustine, 'Hey this girl is so lucky. Next time i ask her pick for me again.'













Then yest Dean asked me to do my pick again.
"No, i am lucky only sometimes, but not lucky all the time 1... Cannot so fast ask me pick again 1.."
But he just asked me to keep quiet and pick.

This time it was 2517.

He was like "Wa, Swee! i go and buy!"

HAHA. i hope he would win. Then i would have a free treat.










JW got gold for his IPPT. Wows, $400 reward! Didn't know u will get money just for a napfa test. $400 for gold, $200 for silver and $100 for bronze. His training? Jogged home from my home. Serangoon to Ang Mo Kio. Wa, great!

1st June!

HAPPY 21ST BIRTHDAY MIAO!

Thanks for being 1 of my sisters, girl. It's such a blessing to know u this life. U are always as high as me all the time. Haha.

U are one of the reasons why i feel happy. U rocks! Love ya Miao.















2nd June!

HAPPY 21ST BIRTHDAY JOE!
Thanks for being such a wonderful close friend to us for the last 5 years. It's been nice knowing u and Tuck Wei. From the bottom of my heart, u and Tuck Wei were the nicest guys i've ever known. And u both will still be the nicest guys i continue to know. i bet all my girls (Miao, Ying, Ling, Maine & Xue) think so too!







Like what i've told u, u used to be quiet and less positive. i'm very happy that u have become more outgoing and definitely a positive guy now. U are 1 of the reasons why i feel happy.
:)

Did i mention my dad bought me a laptop? It is a week old and it's my 1st time using it. i am typing this blog lying on the floor of my room.

I like the sony brand. VAIO! But it is too ex. Dad said it is ok as long as i like it. Still i chose the cheapest laptop in Harvey Norman as i wasn’t so into electronic device.

17th may -

Joe wanted to watch 'The Forbidden Kingdom' but it was already down. So all of us watched 'What Happen in Vegas'. Midnight movie. i watched with them after work. Tuck Wei & Joe came earlier to get the tickets. And they ate at my work place. So happie to see the 6 years friends!

I was so busy last week. Besides working, giving tuition and going to church, my uni friends are occupying the rest of my time.

19th may –

Qiao Mei and Jun Wen came to have supper with me. They were laughing their heads off when they saw me in my uniform. They thought i looked like a boy. Mei Li Mao! Hahas.

20th and 21st may –

Jun Wen cycled to my house at midnight and we chatted till 7am the next morning.

My secret to being a powderful owl?
Drink Ice Latte or Teh Chino Ice! Practise night chats with Ying and Ling and i’m sure u would master the skills of an owl!

Can’t believe i got so much to tell him. I told him i still sleep with my parents and he was absolutely horrified!

We went to 7 eleven to get Long Island. His recommendation. It tasted like cough mixture. 11% alcohol. I won! I drank faster. :P

I had my revenge by recommending him my fave peppermint tea. Hahas. He just can’t get used to drinking toothpaste. But i like its smell very much.

He piggy back me a round around the garden. Shit, i only completed half a round. I LOST! Never ever underestimate your abilities. I can piggy back a guy of 52kg! Wow, can’t believe what i had jus did.

Had breakfast with him before i went home. Slept till 5pm the next day. U have to be a pig in the day to be an owl at night.

My abdomen hurts from too much laughter. Other from Samuel and Marlin, he is the next funniest person la.

23rd may –

A dinner at Marina Square with Carine, Xiang and Jun Wen at Waraku. I had a big bowl of seafood curry. Carine thought it looked like a wash basin. Haha! Cool!

25th may -

‘Iron Man’ with Jun Wen. I realised how on i was. I went to church in the morning, give tuition in the afternoon & work in pastamania in the evening. Then had to accompany that very easily bored guy after work at 11pm. Ok la, i do anything for 1 of my best friends.





After the movie, he suggested to walk to my house from Plaza Sing. And u know what? I crazily agreed. We bet on a Sakura buffet. If i said stop for a rest, i would lose and have to treat him to the buffet. Due to my gian peng gian sai nature, i can’t lose!


And i got to work 10 hours e next day. From 10am to 8pm.



He said he knew the way to Little India. But we ended up in

1stly, Clarke Quay
2ndly, Chinatown

At Chinatown, he told me to anyhow choose a direction. My guts feelings told me that it was to the right. And yes, we reached Raffles Place and then Clarke Quay, and finally City Hall!


We went back to Plaza Sing before he finally figured the way to Little India.
By then, we had already perspired.

We had a hard time figuring out how to go farrer park. We lost our way. We passed by KK Hospital and lots of spiderwebs. We walked back and forth before we finally found the way to farrer park. We followed a bus 67 route. And then, Boon Keng! From Boon Keng, i finally know how to get home.

My legs were so sore but i just don’t want to concede defeat. I can’t rest! Kept asking him to give in but he just won’t. ROARS! As gian peng gian sai as me!

Upon reaching S’goon, he piggy back me back home. I really really cant walk. We started the walkathon at 2 30am and finished it at 5 30am. WOWS!

We considered it a draw as it wasn’t a fair competition. I am a girl and he is a guy. I was carrying a bag and insisted not to let him carry. He had training before. He walked 24km in his ns days and climbed 78 storeys in a competition.

He told me he wanted to bother me the next night again. And i was like, “Oh JW pls spare me! I haven got enough sleep and my face is full of acnes.” Let all the achiness heal first. And please let my acnes stop! First! Hahas.

I only slept for 2 hours before i head for work. And i survived on 1 shot of expresso. Awfully bitter. And Dean suggested 100 plus (energy boaster). Woo Hoo! The moment i reached home, i slept for 12 hrs. Piggy me.

..I let go of that hurt that has been with me these months... I felt relieved and glad that i have done it. I am so proud of myself.

Here is the 2nd part of Joanne's Bdae!

Next up is Miao (1st June)

Then Joe (2nd June)

Then Charmaine (16th June)

Then Bi Han (21st June)

Then Daniel (24th June)

All 21st bdae! BANKRUPT!

That day Marlin (My church cell group leader) was advising some things.. Some meaningful that i wrote them down. She said:

Being in a relationship is not easy. You must wake up every morning and feel that your love for him is still fresh. Don't be overfamiliar with him that you lose the respect for him. Don't take things for granted. You must at least have respect for each other. You must not get tired until everyday becomes a routine.

In your journey with God, there are bound to be some things that you will let go. When you make a decision, you can't be sure that u are 100% right. All you need is to trust that God has given you to make this decision.

What you see is what you receive. You can't assume that he will change after marriage.

In life, God will put you through several temptations and tests. It's not that u both don't love each other. Both of you have tried. It's the not the matter of feeling used to him. It is not the matter of time that determines this relationship. You have changed and he has changed too.

Are you really happy with him? Is he really there all the time? Does he really love you all the time? If he said he will be there, but is he? Does he give you enough security and assurance?

When you have nothing, you must trust that you still have God. Believe that you have God and you will have everything. Pray and all will turn out well.

Make a decision and don't look back anymore. Trust that God will help u overcome it.

i said, "But i am so afraid, afraid that if i let go, i can never find another guy as good as him, or better than him anymore."

She replied, "How can you think it this way? No, u need to have confidence in yourself. Most guys like girls with confidence. U know, i used to ask Ming Yao (her husband) why he chose me over so many girls. There are many who have nicer complexion than me, prettier than me and have better capabilities than me. But he said because i have confidence. A confidence woman makes her attractive.

You need to open up your heart and give yourself and someone else a chance. Have confidence that God will make you happier. Discover His plan for u and you will definitely feel happier.''

When you said you have nothing, u are wrong. U still have God. And u still have your friends, friends who care so much for you. You have won over the hearts of many friends. You are not alone.

She prayed for me. i cried and Ke Xin hugged me. Thanks Ke Xin.

That night around 2am, i had a terrible stomachache. Then fever. i couldn't sleep. i wanted so much to call Wei Der up. Wanted to tell him to bring me to the doctor and how terrible i feel. i know the call will definitely make him take leave the next day and also skip school. But i resist the urge. i can't be so selfish, so self centered. We have already broken up.

Marlin said i still have my friends. So i sent out an SOS msg. i forwarded out a forward msg to some of my close friends. If 1 replied to tell me to get well soon, i will get well. i trust God that i will get well.

Sure enough, one of them replied in a few mins. And i did manage to sleep. As long as u have faith, God will make you happy. And Ying replied the following day with another forwarded msg. :P

Sometimes i feel like msging him. When i hold the urge, i feel like crying. Something hit me. An angel spoke to me. When u miss him, pray for him. Pray that he will have a better life without u. Pray that he can get over you too.

Xue said God will bless me. God can speak to me in different ways. One of them is through friends. Thanks Xue. U are sent by God to tell me the right thing at the right time.

Thanks Ling and Ying too. Love ya girls.

Thanks Jun Wen.

U guys are always there.

:)
