WITNESSING WARMTH - weekend home

`28 March 08

I had my friday well-spent w Dear, taking a real slow dinner at Fish & Co's over Glasshouse. Recalling the last time when we were there, i agreed to the 'Fling Game' and were very much pressurised by the cleaning up staffs as we were the only patrons there. This time round we were much earlier, sitting right in front of the loud live band. Things of coz are different now while we talk bout things that sit closer to us in our life, much more ease w each other.
And Fish and Co was playing songs from i think the Max 6 CD. - kinda funny i thought, as we went 'woa, damn retro'

Without having to rush for last trains or movies, we headed for coffee at TCC. It was then i realised a very weird habit of my cheeky. :)

T-o-y

I dunnoe why i didnt take photos at Fish & Co and took some photo which I already have in my photos collection. guess it's just my instinct to take those desserts pics. And even if I already have them, it's another piece of similar yet non-identical memory :) And this time i realised how messy it is the dark devotion is compared to Morton's Hot Choc Cake..(which was awesome).. keke.

At one try, i drew this :)

`29 March 08

And these days I realised myself being addicted to "Zack and Wiki", a logic/IQ console game. Somewhat love to rack my brains over things, things that I cant help but keep thinking of it until I've solved it.

`30 March 08

Surprisingly I spent time alone in cheeky's house without feeling very weird. Not easy to come by such 'houses' LOL. Spent the dinner time with his family at Crystal Jade as a belated birthday celebration for his mum and began to feel the wonders of warmth in different or another family. Seeing how mums can also get excited and happy in celebrating their birthday and even buying a cake! This kinda of feeling ,from the view of a youngster or children, is like heart-warming even though i just plainly bring it across with the word "cute". But indeed cute too isnt it? When someone older seems to be back into child-like behavior. Just goes to show everyone has a child-like side. I believe so. Of coz you dont reveal that to just anyone out there.

And it's the companion and attention of your loved ones that makes you happy on especially special days. :)

more hugs!

Audience, Actor

when someone else i love gets on the social stage, me as a receiver.. i feel heartaches.
I became an audience who doesnt know how to applause. I cant focus on my own things too.
In that play i cant help wondering the real emotions played in the actor's mind.

haven got any actor around me that could affect me like this for some time. The time an audience is worried bout the actor.

i wished i was the scriptwriter.
if there was one.

COUNT MY BLESSINGS

My bodily ailing mum always have endless complaints. But I know..her life in this family is not easy, just that she's taking it well. Only getting one off day per week and standing long hours at the booth for the other 6 days. To reveal to me that the pains on her knees are climbing up the thighs area too. And i didnt know what to say man..can just keep quiet and wonder my mind off why the stupid dad is sooo good at feigning ignorance. If I can have an award of "Best Award in Feigning Ignornance", I gotto give it to him man. For the the deliberate digression and ignornance made over the years. Inevitably, i do feel at fault sometimes. Somehow or rather.

Sometimes, i dunnoe if its lucky or a misfortune that im the only one who made it to an Uni. Esp she told me again today, that the elder sis thinks that she's bias towards me, making me think why is she as childish whenever she wants things in her way? Wanting mum to sponsor her not-very-important things becoz mum sorta sponsored me my lappie. Then she has her haphazard comparisions.. She always like that...when temper comes, maturity and logic become like it was never part of her.

while i listen quietly to all these, make me wanna laugh and think..
indeed every family has its own problems..
i should just count my blessings. :)

SICK WEEKEND

I started my weekend well off with AJ's Dance concert at the Victoria Theatre on thursday. Though im not a fan of contemporary dance, i must say that its quite good! Next headed for movie at Cine w dear..Caught 'The Orphanage' and 'Vantage point'. Both shows were pretty good. And who knows, for the first time when im out w him, i saw a friend.

Had a real good heart-to-heart chat w my cheeky man on friday night, talking about things that really stirred out emotions. We never know what will happen from then onwards but i know, this man really loves me now and I love u too! My talks of fantasy, dreams. But I seriously don't know how I will handle things. Then again, I must say....its not wrong, not socially wrong even though it deviates from the social norms. Its just a matter of how accepting I am.

And then the disaster struck on friday midnite onwards, when i started shivering away with constant gastric/stomachache. On and off fevers from then on until now. Fortunately, I must say, thanks to darling for constantly checking on me, taking care of me despite potentially draining him and taking his peaceful weekends away. And I know, someone out there cares. ;]]

on the way to recovery.

Bukang Tuna - Japanese Style Korean Resturant

-19 March 2007

Met up with Goey and sis for Goey's belated dinner after my vigorous dance lesson! Suggested this place to goey, an authentic Korean Resturant, at Red DOt. I was tempted to go because of the private room it offers us. And the fact that I have walked past it twice a week for the past 6 months ....Should take a look,=x

And apparently each private room has a name. We were tucked into this private room called the 'Sailfish".. And how do you get the waitresses? ....Press the bell. 'Ding"!

Sailfish

Menu Holders :P

All the food we ordered came fr. this page.

Complimentary

Refillable. And enough to keep us real full. Love all the spicy sides.

Grilled Eel, Spicy COd fish Soup

Luckily we only ordered 2 main dishes. if not, we'll explode man.Seriously filling. The soup had a generous amount of cod fish inside...

Can call them the Bangkok friends. hahas.

Black & White is Goey's Love

Some pose.HMMM.

Fav pic of the day.

Spent some time posing around red dot. hahas.

hahas, was rather quiet yester i tot. Feel kinda weak to open my mouth to utter words.

And shucks.

why is that pain haunting me again. #$%$$@$%^&^@#$%#!

BROUGHT TO THE "TOWN" OF HAPPINESS

In a blink of eye it seems, we celebrated our half a year on last Fri, 14 March 08! The sweet moments of having each other throughout this period feel like its only yesterday.

And while I really believed that we are going to somewhere near Heeren as told by him, i became confused when he turned into Fullerton's carpark. With half of my mind thinking..could there be a tunnel that links out to some shortcut? But before my curiosity kills me, I asked him "why are u turning into the carpark?" And this cheeky guy replied with a very simple yet self-explanatory sentence: "coz i need to park?"

And yes, I was like...oh, so you lied. A white lie I reckoned it to be.

Walking through the underground..hmm..tunnel? of Fullerton (photos posted in prev entry, I din know that there's this underground pathway until like Fri) before we finally walked past the grand ballrooms and reach our destination.

Entrance

Town Resturant at The Fullerton

I was constantly being asked to make sure I eat to my fill. hahas. And yes, not very far off from my guess after Shaun and Jer said that few sentences repeatedly. It was a buffet dinner. And thank god that its a 3-in-1 meal as there were simply too much food.

The interior

Brought to the seats at the lower level and I began to observe the patrons *again. hahas. Feels like a paradise for tai-tais. Despite that, the ambience was great, not so orangey compared to usual but like the quiet atmosphere. It allows one to indulge in sumptous feast and communicate with ease.

Interior with the view of fountain

At the far end of the seats, one can also dine with the fountain as the backdrop. hees.

The outside view from inside.

Another shot which I took when I walked around taking pics. hahas. I think thats the Cavenagh Bridge if i'm not wrong. Nice view! While I always stood on the bridge absorbing the sight of Esplanade, the river and Fullerton, I didnt expect myself to be able to look at the scenary from the angle of The Fullerton.

Interior - Top level and lights

Multiple times of observation still make me believe that the lamps hanging off the ceiling is the same as the one used at Black Angus. LOL.

The hot-dishes

Love the Sweet and Sour Fish, Crab Curry like sauce, and the POTATO CROQUTTE! :)

Human presence - Basking in love and enjoyment!

The Seafood

The mussels, oysters, scallops (raw and cooked), prawns and lobsters were nicely presented on a bed of ice.

Seafood on the plate & Starters

The man who showers lovely memories

The raw fishes & Sushi

For the first time I tried the Sashimi. Still feels kinda weird to me despite the well..hmm....soft,smooth and kinda oily texture. I still cant bring myself to try the tuna. :(

Tempura, Tepanyaki Meat,Dim Sum, Lobster

The Tepanyaki Pork was nice, cooked on the spot upon request. :)

Salmon Shooters and Others

I was quite amazed by the salmon shooters. My first time of hearing and seeing them. ;p

Happy and Lucky Koon >.<

And the time for desserts finally came after our trying of like one-piece per dish. Gals like me are just so drawn towards the beautifully presented desserts. They looked especially attractive :))

Desserts - So pretty!

A variety of choices to choose from. We had french pastries, green tea cake, banana crumble and cheesecake! And of all mentioned here, i would think that the cheesecake is the nicest with the rich cheese and crust below. Followed by the Green Tea cake that carries the fragrance of green tea with the right amount. :)

More yummy Desserts

Even more desserts coming up! In my memory, that's the oreo mousse, mango mousse and Clementine Creme Brulee. Creme Brulee was nice, topped with caramel. hahas. and when eaten with the huge strawberries! Yes, I love strawberries :)

Upside-Down plate of desserts

A photo that makes me giggle. hahas* upside down upside down.

A closer look ;p

And finally i like this relatively artistic shot =x

Leaving Town Resturant

Happy 6 Months - kisses. :)

I definitely had a great time that night! Had a superb bloating dinner and saw the sincerity from my cheeky man! All these months, I am extremely spoilt with all these exorbitance treats. Suddenly it made me wonder if I'm too young or still young for all these. I was constantly prompted by the question of "then your next boyfriend how?"...hmm, i've no idea. But extravagance needs perfect company to fully savour the moments. As far as what my beliefs and values are now, they need to come hand-in-hand no matter what. And for what I have now, I'm appreciating all of these and never let any of such treats or love to become an expectation.

While both of us enjoy such luxury together, i wont and dont wanna take anything for granted.

Over these 6 months, I have learnt and further affirmed that relationship should be of a relatively balanced two-way thing. The phrase ''it's better to be loved than to love" is not true at all. To be loved by the one you one brings greater and lasting happiness. Most importantly, little actions which seems insignificant to any other bystanders can make me happy for months, or even longer.

Months ago, I discovered a new Town...

- The Town of Happiness. :)

MISSING!

I returned feeling excited, wanting to blog down the another beautiful page of the story yet i found the photos which i transferred to the thumbdrive missing! I'm damn upset!

Alrights, guess i'll have to blog bout it some other times when i get hold of the pics again! No fantasy distractions for me while im trying complete the highly mind stirring Sociology essay. Its not quite hard but i think its challenging and fun. The topic of deviance and comparing theories such as Strain, Functionalist, Feminist, Conflict and Symbolic Interactionism theories. All these theories are making me a lil confused here and there for they overlap a little yet have their own distinct argument which my job is to fliter them out and put them down in simple words.

*confused, confused*

Oh, luckily i got some paparazzi-ed photos. hees. So, to the sneaks and have a guess where we went! ;P

Forever Narcistic

Never fail to love this driving look!

Back at home. Shades PLAY

Journey to_______.

close to you. feel your heartbeats.

BUSY?

Yupps. Feeling tight with time. Other than my standard timetable, dance lessons and practices, time i wanna spend with dear and time in gym, track or pool, the rest of the time is up to me to play around to manage my tasks on hand. Feeling busy because of last minute work, i wonder if one has the right to say..'i'm busy'.

It then reminds me of this person who gave a smirk to someone who seems to be really free and then began to compare a busy person to her. And the connotation I've gotten out of it is that..there seems to be something wrong to be a free person in this quickened society. So much so that by right, an undergraduate shouldnt be said to be free. (of coz other people like kids and secondary students can afford to be ..free) The more busy you more, the higher value you would be.

Oh gosh, the pressure to tell others u're busy is depressing.

i think im not busy, just too much stoning. Just like I'm in the midst of stoning now. Supposed to do a final consolidation of Psy Stats test tml. Seriously hope it will not be too tough. And after that, time shall be given to socio and affinity group project.

By the way folks, i think i better say this before more people come asking me. I've removed the tagboard. Kindly take half the effort more to comment instead :]]

so tired now ;( and i dunnoe why i love to 'talk' to my blog when im bored/tired. lolx.

Some opportunities are hard to come by!

POST SWEETNESS TRANSITION HOURS.

There are always these transition hours on Sunday nights. To get myself back to reality and school work. To push myself to study again. Even though I had been studying during the weekends as well, its different coz I hear amusing swearing and cursing behind me, get hugs suddenly, and receive cheekiness once in a while.

The tendency is to reminisce the few 72 hours back in contentment and elation. ;]

And what's on my mind now?! I'm extremely glad that there is no misunderstanding from my my words on friday. They were meant as another discovery of myself. Freedom in terms of thoughts..its kinda abstract to myself and I cant really explain it v clearly. But my willingness to share my thoughts..hopefully is not gonna cause misunderstanding ;]] And i'm just wondering..its not gonna be easy to find someone who's gonna give me as much freedom. Im might be just weird to think bout that kind of freedom which i cant really explain it well too.

This dreamland that I have fell into...i'm not snapping out of it yet. It's gonna be quite hard to snap out of it still.

if holding the pinky is deemed as shy, i say its cheeky and sweet.

LEAP DAY-29th Feb 08 - SHOP, JOY, WARAKU

Midterm break is officially over now. I'm still working my way through out of time management in the mugging and all other things. Had quite a good term break this sem compared to last sem ;) Good holiday mood on last thurs-sun, dances and met up with 2 of my good friends, terrific ones.

Leap day was spent waking up early in the morning to meet Jerica at the Gym. Since a long long time ive hit the gym due to expensive charges for adults. Sighs. Still love working out in the gym, systematic yet non-structured. Morning gymings are great! Needless to queue excessively long for the machines. And after gyming, we headed for a swim. Love the workout that day for it psychologically makes me feel better! Its not easy to find a friend who could club and work out together. *grins*

Less than 3 hours slacking at home and i'm out again. This time round for a shopping trip with goey! Haven got an opportunity to meet up with you since our Bangkok trip! And i missed you sooo....i got so excited when i met her..uttering non-stop.

Updated myself with news that probably i shouldnt have known. But thankfully im not kept in the dark. I'm jaded w all these news but at the same time i wanna tell myself..there are many many beautiful souls around me. All giving me the care and concern and support i need. Oh well, i hope nth is gonna happen again after i said that line. lolx.

Btw, finally got my make-up accessory fr chanel after months of OUT-OF-STOCK. heard its internationally. *Phew. And yes...its good!! Highly recommended!

To fill our growling stomachs..we headed to Waraku at Cuppage Road. Nice place but the ambience is ruin by the noise. think it would be better during off-peak hours!
