.Absolute Isolation: Meritus Mandarin

To sum it all before I start, they were surprising, indelible moments, soothing, sweet, cosy and luxurious.. :DD

Friday - 12 September

The grand plan goes this way.. On Friday night before I pack my stuff for ''weekend home'', I was told not to leave the house until he has told me what's that one thing to bring.. So i waited patiently for this busy man to tell me what's that one thing.. And it turns out to be.... my swimsuit.. !

When I saw Cheeky... I asked him " Uh...are we going swimming?" and I was told that we MAY be going for a swim before anniversary dinner..If not, we can go on Sunday too.

Later in the night, Shaun came asking if we wanna join him and his girlfriend for a swim at their dad's condo tomorrow afternoon. And it was dismissed with a 'see-how' response from Cheeky, when I thought they already planned it before-hand. It's just too coincident yea?

As promised, Cheeky gave me a hint, on where we're going the next day, before we turned in.

- "A place that doesnt close until past midnight" and he wanna cross midnight with me ;D

Obviously, this wasnt a very good hint, at least to me. Coz almost everywhere opens past midnight on a Saturday night...I stumbled on my guesses.

Saturday - 13 September

We diligently packed our swimsuits, grooming needs, the clothes for dinner to go over to his dad's abode for a swim. This man is smart; he came up with the excuse that we dont have time to return and change for dinner so we have to bring our stuff along. And I docilely followed the man, as much as I can according to his plans. While I had totally no idea of the grand plan in mind. All in my mind was how will Swimming be with all of them. On the other hand, Cheeky said he dont really feel anything for the swimming but rather how the plan would work out. The waiting time before the activities for anniversary rolled out was slow..

We tucked ourselves into the car, finding ourselves driving on busy roads in the day-time. It was kinda different. Rather than the usual soothing cruise we had, things felt abit more energised. We had Cheeky cursing and swearing at car-drivers who horned at him. With the guidance from Shaun and Lin to his Dad's place, we arrived at the first destination. Supposedly a destination or not.

"Hey where are you going darling?" Cheeky asked me when I opened the car door attempting to get down with Shaun and Lin. This made me pretty puzzled and I probably gave him a blur reply.. "I'm getting off with them?" But I was told to accompany him while he go park the car..outside.

Outside? This sounds pretty weird to me. And I was just thinking how weird this condo is, not allowing visitors to park their car inside. (I'm feeling kinda dumb whenever I think of this part). The journey to the car-park "outside" was beginning to feel alil long.. until he hit the expressway. I cant help but asked.. 'why is your carpark so far away?"

"We are not going to swim, darling. We're going somewhere else.." Cheeky smirked as he utters those words. It kinda stunned me that I only replied "oh! okae..."

As the car moved towards CTE (probably the only expressway that I can really recognise), I asked if we're going to town and was told that "nope, we are just passing by town''

Soon, we reached the REAL destination and looking at where Cheeky was going, I finally got my guess. Meritus Mandarin.

Upon the arrival at the always-familiar Meritus Mandarin's lobby.. I was again urged to wait at one side. It was really sweet looking at his back-view, checking in...Doing everything by himself. And one thing that I havent mention is the kind of contentment, warmth and love felt when I saw him carry the bag of heavy belongings.- It's not about what he always do but what he usually don't do, despite it being a small favour.

Room 2042

The lovely room that we were allocated for the night was 2042, at the South Tower.

With a skillful swipe, Cheeky slotted his key-card above the 'key-hole' above the door-knob. And what stands before the opening of the door was a room which was spacious, luxurious and really soothing.. It must be the kind of holiday-mood one has when checked into a place of absolute nothingness in ur reality. Sadly, the view of the room wasnt facing the Wisma Atria Side.. Nevertheless, like I told Cheeky, this place is really a great place for a contemplative mind to think and feel.

On the right side when you enter this cosy room, it's a full-walled mirror facing the toilet with the sliding door..On the left side when you enter, it's a simple yet classy and sparkling clean toilet with a bath-tub!

In the room, neatly plain yet luxurious-oriented white coupled with orangey-red furniture really made the furnishing look really compatible. The bedsheets were of no crease and had four big comfty pillows laying on each other. Most importantly, it, the king-sized bed, was big enough.. for me to roll around. :D

After exploring our own room (looking through the drawers, the pamphlets, the menus etc), we checked out the Tennis Court and Swimming Pool and finally decided to go for an hour swim before it closes at 7pm.. The water was quiet. Not a single soul in the pool. All there was were a few foreigners sun-bathing at the side of the pool, despite being an almost sun-less evening.

Special memories during swimming given to ..

1) how Cheeky taught darling to float on her back and swim backwards, rather than her standard Breast Strokes..

2) How Cheeky asked me to count from 1-20 but swam to me within 5 at the 1.5m mark, grabbed my ankle (yuppps, i screamed) and carried me up on his shoulders as if a token of triumph.. =x

3) the competition of who can swim further away with just one breath. And....I lost.

4) the attempts to dive downwards..

5) the piggy-backs..

This has to be, I say for sure the best moments the 2 of us have since Cheeky's return from the US..

Desk and Sofa

The lady has a choice for dinner. To ensure that Cheeky wasnt making all the decisions for the day, he let me choose among the list of dining places he has in mind for us. Here it goes, Triple-3, Pine Court, Chatterbox or in-room dining? I couldnt make up my mind for that. While I thought that in-room dining is gonna be reallly rare, I was afraid that Cheeky wanna have it somewhere else.. Like a tug-a-war, I finally finally chose in-room dining and was glad that it was parallel with Cheeky's initial decision! *grins, grins, grins.*

One of my favourite pics!! ;D

Another favourite pic!

Setting up of the table of food in OUR room!

Really love the look when this man sign off the bill, not for materialistic reasons but the kind of

'air' and masculinity.. =D it took them approximately 25 minutes to deliver our orders up and they were all still piping hot when delivered.

Too much too much.

Dinner was really sumptuous with food from Chatterbox, Triple-3 and maybe some other restaurants from Meritus Mandarin. Especially love the Samosa...really nice! Caesar Salad w Smoked Salmon was nicely complemented too...Crisp, with the fresh salmon.

But dinner is absolute privacy, just the two of us with no restrictions in time. The simple chats over dinner. And the coincidental playing of "The Lakehouse" on HBO has complemented our dinner well with romantic love songs. *glad that we had in-room dinner.

US in the Mirror

We had ourselves lying on the bed, having heart-to-heart talks, or maybe more of a reminisce kinda chat. And even though both of us missed chilling at the Observatory Lounge, we were too full to stomach much of anything. And since I really dont feel like leaving the room... we forgo-ed chilling and enjoyed each other's company just in the room.. ;D

lovelove. chubchub loves *u!

And my only gift and surprise for this very well-deserved man is the newly-launched nano. Bought it off the shelves of I-shop when it's not even officially keyed into shop's system! :D

But it just felt utterly good when I saw how happy he was, even back home when he was fiddling with it..

I was kinda reluctant to sleep that night. Knowing that such isolation would soon be over the moment you sleep. Oh and to mention, while giving Cheeky his weekly massages, on the big bed, it really felt so much easier.... coz you dont get cramp and difficulties massaging one side of the body.

This stay with Cheeky made me realised how one couple can easily indulge in their very own best moments without the interference of the outside world and when u place their in the right environment.. I didnt realised such isolation until I walked out with Cheeky to 'stock-up'. Then had I realised Im already engulfed into the moments belonging to our the 2 of us. It's a very very new experience.

As to why One year or One month? It was with regards to the kind of honeymoon period the two of us are in despite being together for one year. My idiotic smiles for the little actions Cheeky did. To the extent that the kind of sweetness really felt novel, fresh and like those of the usual first few months of couples. I'm extremely, extremely glad that we haven't lose them. And actually, if i really think these through, Cheeky's trip to US had kinda gave the relationship a 'restart', like we have started on fresh grounds.

I recall how things weren't as sweet just before he left..when both of us were on the verge of solving issues for each other, or for self. Whichever way it is.

All of these, I can safely say that we have grown stronger, much much stronger in terms of the understanding, and support (only when needed) we gave each other. The always important comfort level. The certainty of this love. The honesty emphasised. The simplicity of mine which kept your love. The complexity and contemplative that made me fell in you. We've been through the test of time and distance, non-obigatory but self-obligatory showers of concern. It sounded dumb to friends of mine ,when one year ago, i told them that our relationship were on the terms of non-obligatory and maybe even to the extent of an open-relationship. I received overwhelming response saying im insane then. Perhaps nobody..even my siblings didnt know what I was thinking about. But know what? It was such non-obligatory terms and all those mentioned above that brought the love of 2 of us up.

Over this one year, I was always said to be a good gf, a good gal who always deserves to be happy and shouldnt be sad. That even during shitty times when you were in the US, you were blaming yourself for putting those shitty things of yours as part of my burden too. But like I say..shouldnt couples be sharing good times and bad times? For the fact that I know whether I wonder get involved in your unhappiness or not, you have no right to really blame yourself. And being overly understanding, sometimes I tend to make decisions for this man.. thinking too much into the interest of another isnt really good yea? Cheeky hates people to make decisions for him especially when he knows that he chose for a reason, a reason good and convincing enough to keep that choice. Inferiority kicks in at many times with Cheeky. A man so high up there, regardless of intellectual, wit, knowledge, ideas, maturity.. I'm nowhere near. I always have the mindset that whatever I have in my life is nothing compared to everything that Cheeky has in his.

But despite all these, we never had problems. If i recall... the number of times that we really quarrelled can be count within one hand. Sometimes I really still wonder how we were made possible and not only made possible but made to grow beyond our own expectations.

Forgetting all I'm lacking
Completely incomplete
I'll take your invitation
You take all of me now.

.love love :)

Happy 10 Months! :)

One month and more of absence from each other's life. Logging in online just to have chats that may not last very long. Web-cams in the most unglam yellow specs and intellectualled look. Getting back to independent-self. Getting excited seeing "Withheld" calling on my phone. This one month..Still so in love..! Really how I need to get my daily dose of Cheeky via at least an emails...like refreshing the inbox page whenever I'm free at work...before I realised that getting such daily dose indeed is not a very good idea.. And yes..we've gone through that.. ^^

Another month to go! ^^

Despite time differences and the distance apart.. it didnt fade. :)

*happy happy to talk to YOU!

I have a fisherman!

I want a kiss ;p

Jaan

I was amazed at the view across the Equinox Complex at Swissotel the moment I stepped out of the lift which brought me up to the 70th Floor. Each distinct colourful, minute city lights combine to form a huge map of magnificent landscape..

Withdrawing myself from the mind-blowing views, I began to look for Jaan. Turning my head, left and right..and I saw a sign that resembles the "J" in Jaan which I have seen over the days of my research.. Jaan is hidden in a deep corner that isolates itself into a posh and cosy silent ambience.

Reaching Jaan about 20 mins before cheeky as he went to look for a parking lot in Raffles City, I was presented with the all-too-familiar restaurant's menu. I flipped through the exorbitant delicacy still cant decide what to have for the night.

Before the arrival of the king of the week, I was sorta entertained by a Caucasian waiter in black suit and tall build. He even joked that he can accompany me for dinner if my date is not turning up. But well, of coz my cheeky is coming! It's my first dinner treat for him and he fetched chubby there!

The cosiness in the modern background

Absorbing the ambience of the cosy little place which seats only 60 patrons, Cheeky arrived shortly and agreed that the place is really cosy..

And finally it's time to open my present, in my previous post, the same waiter walked past and passed a cheeky look. For some odd reasons, I felt a little shy and saw myself like the actress in some dramas..especially from the moment of opening the red little box to the moment when cheeky puts it on for me :D

Complimentary from the Chef

Upon making our orders for the dinner, we were served with the Complimentary from the Chef. We had raw salmon, a very small piece one (I ate it man!) The texture was smooth and didnt had the fishy taste instead of light fragrant.

The Pita bread sticks on the other hand were displayed in a flower-vase like manner. Each of them is one long crunchy stick that goes well with the sauce and rich butter.

Couple on the Munch :)

Cheeky told me that the Pita bread Sticks are probably those used for the pizza crust..I think it is lightly fragrant and not over-hard and complement the sauce and butter in a subtle taste.

Maybe the fan of Snails

Bacon And Potato Ballotine, Hazelnut-Goat Cheese Croquette
Parsley Gnocchi Coulant

It took us some time to realise which part is exactly the Snail.. No. It's not the big black ball of Bacon and Potato Ballotine which was awesome. You wont get sick of it. Slightly moist and pieces of bacon stuffed in it. What I love most about this dish, unfortunately, is not the snails but the Hazelnut-Goat Cheese Croquette..which I claim to be amazing. The crispy crust outside, only to reveal a pinkish white inside which is totally different from the common potato croquette! I really love that!

As for the snails, it's tucked below the bacon and potato ballotine mix with mushrooms. With both the mushrooms and snails being black..its kinda difficult to distinguish which is which at first. It then all boils down to tasting and differentiating by the texture of the two.

Well above the normal pigeons

Confit Of Swiss Chard, Rhubarb Chutney, Jus Au Cacao

The signature dish under ''The Earth".

Like the way it is being described, the Pigeon De Bresse found under 'The Earth' is whipped up using herbs, some sauce that resulted in a salty taste. It comes with Apricot Sauce and garnished with crispy cinnamon sticks. I took a bite from the cinnamon sticks and its quite yummy.

While Cheeky initially wanted to get some duck dishes..since french ducks are so nice..the Pigeon, i believed, scored better than what he had expected. To be more tender, and to smell more than a bird and most importantly not really taste like a chicken. And cheeky likes it better without the sauce...which is...this way most of the time. hahas.

Under the Foam

Galantine Of Lobster Tail And Chicken Mousse In Sweet And Bitter Endive
Cannelloni Of Lobster Claws With Artichokes, Pernod Jus

My pick? Another signature dish but under 'The Sea'. The Maine Lobster 2 ways.. I preferred the Cannelloni of Lobster claws which is wrapped in crepe-like layer..It's much softer and easier to nibble compared to the Galantine of Lobster Tail and Chicken Mousse which is wrapped in, i think its own skin. It makes it so hard for me to cut. Then again, it fufilled the cutting crave well.

And, the sweet sauce is aptly done to my liking as sauce is always important to me ;p. It's not too sweet, not puking sweet maybe coz it's mixed well with the Bitter Endive..(my guess).

All in all, nice. sweet and non-troublesome lobster..! :) Probably one of those nicest lobster i've eaten before, especially in such a different style.

it smells too good, and taste as great

cute cheeky ><

The Magical Melt

Milk Chocolate Cremeux, Mandarin Espuma, Grapefruit Vanilla Sorbet

It took us some time to decide whether or not we should have desserts.. But since we are there and I wont forsee us to be back there any sooner...we should just try. Like any other posh places, the chocolate sphere costs 22 bucks. And in my opinion? It didnt bring out the magical amazement like the Morton's Hot Choc Cake or Top of the M's Seven Sins, sadly.

Nevetheless, the chocolate sphere did came in a really round sphere with a golden stripe, facing me, on it. With the pouring of the chocolate fudge onto the sphere, the sphere began to melt and dent in and became the deformed sphere above.. Blended sweetness and bitterness and refreshing with the grapefruit vanilla sorbet, with a hard chocolate layer outside.

Us against the city

A man of good body for the night. hahas. It will be such a waste to not cam-whore in such a beautiful background.. It looks almost it's some places of casino at the background.

An advance 9 months celebration

We stayed all the way beyond the closing time which was supposedly to be 11pm. But, we left the place at 11.20pm, with an even more quiet Jaan.

Side-track alil, the next table had a funny encounter when this ball rolled away from their plate of desserts when served. hahas.

Surrounded by Cityspace, New Asia Bar and Equinox.

Just outside Jaan, we were presented with the real-awesome view of Singapore citylights. I agree with Cheeky that it is the best place for overviewing the city. And my purpose of changing my plans from the Jap restaurant to Jaan is to enjoy the city lights of Singapore with Cheeky the last time before he flies off to the US. Well, i hope my purpose is fulfilled and he enjoyed the time spent. :)

You wont feel the heartache at all as long as you see the value in it.. Like for the first time, im feeling this way. .. It matters more than anything else to see moments being created

Good Bye my dear.. :(

Thats probably his last view of Singapore before he left. And at this point in time when i'm blogging..he's already far far away from me..

And i agree with what many people have told me..it will be damn unbearable in the beginning.. .. Indeed.

it begins

. a sparkling surprise :)

He handed me a SK paper bag just before we left the house for Jaan at Swissotel. The hardly surprised soul received the surprise in the form of a delayed happiness.

I didnt exclaim the moment I received the red paper bag coz still accepting this surprise in sweetness and yea, real surprise, in abit of a shock. I didnt expect it at all. No instint at all this time.

Yet I was still kept in suspense in not supposed to open nor peep until we are seated in Jaan.

I was asked to guess the item inside. My guess? A necklace, judging from the paper bag. Cheeky being cheeky, he told me it's a watch but not a Guess watch..which led me to rack my brains over the available brands of watch in the market...I didnt really believe it totally though. Why would he tell me the answer all of a sudden..hahas.

Opening the red pyramidal box, i felt the rush of excitement, anticipation and happiness.. :) The second gift i'm receiving from Cheeky... :)))

opening the red box while peeping..

and thats what chubby koon got... A SK diamond necklace! Indeed, a first diamond necklace ...and it gets nicer and nicer when I look at it.

Appreciated the gift my dear :). Despite the fact that you are in need of money now...you still got me such an expensive gift.. thanks alotsa..alotsa! And now, I have another lovely gift to accompany me for that 2 months, reminding me of cheeky's company. :D Thanks, my sweet darling ^^

And the entry for dining at Jaan will be coming next.. :))

you made the moments.
:)

My Humble House

not that humble`

16-May-08

I saw his efforts. Although it wasnt literally seeing it. Saw him fretting over where to bring me for the 8th month celebration, the last anniversary celebration before he flies off in June.

With the choice of 2 different Humble House, we went for the posher and darker one at the corner.. i was astonished when i stepped into the place and saw the real poshed ambience..

Followed the small bridge-like pathway were furnitures that resembles the home of a dracula especially the chairs that are like those seen on flims of castle..to me at least.

Home of The Count

And the menu was so artistic! The pages were tied together with strings and almost every page has an unique painting.

Complimentary bread and chips before our orders..with their special sauce..:D

Fatal Stares.

Guess the Green Tea Dumpling is really the highlight of the day. I would expect the Green tea to be in part of the filling of the dumpling but apparently i was wrong. Instead of immersing itself into the fresh fillings, it stands out as a coating of the Dumplings. Subtle sweetness in the dumplings! Really love it! Highly recommended! The nicest dumplings I've ever tried :D Oh and coincidentally, there were EIGHT of them..

Taste WAY BEYOND how it looks!

Savouring ;p

The Hot and Sour Soup came up next. A very thick and rich taste that aint too sour nor hot. Unique enough. And it comes in a small-enough portion to let you yearn for more..

All that i have

The next favourite of the day is the Olive fried Rice. "Wow" I let out in a very surprising tone as I didnt expect it would be THAT nice! Normally im not a fan of fried rice but seriously..that was damn good. The fragrance of the rice with the light sweetness of the olive with appropriate amount of ingredients in it. it's just marvellous!

Indeed.

Seafood in the bait basket...the most chinese style amongst all the others..and the least fav of all. Ironically..it is the most expensive one. BUt the fact that the scallops and prawns were huge, fresh and to the extent of being spongey makes it quite a good deal.

burnt on the face.

Another side.

Vampire lost in Comtemplation

Evil enough

To where he belongs

That's not all

I'm still so small as a person

Lips of a Devil.

12.50 pm

But sadly, i ruined all my own perfect moments at the end of it. I left the great heartbroken and disappointed. I wished i was a bigger person too. But im just so small. I failed to be all that I myself or he would wish I can be. If anyone would know, i hate being like this. As far as i know, its not catharsis..

Through the conversation with him, it strucked me.. leaving me in the wonders of the definition of treasuring and happiness. Coz i lost the meaning of it somewhere when i thought i really did.. (Like I thought i never treasured someone/ something so much before and havent felt so happy for so long despite a semi-rocky month. ) But when i realised these were being denied by a crucial someone that all you have been believing is not true, i dont know how else i can do it if i thought that was my best.. It seems like when ur definition of certain things doesnt match, no matter how what, to the other one...you are always not doing it. Leaving me with 3 options: 1. Dont Care, continue the way I am. 2. Give up, why continue trying? 3. Try harder..

I just cant lose myself in this anymore. im getting from bad to worst..worst to disastrous...

But the good thing now is..I've found the strength again..to move on..whether it's move on to fight or to move on back to my world.. im beginning to regain bits and bits of strength to fight on, though slow, to remain in a world that doesnt belongs to me at all..

And I know a million apologies wouldnt help.
I should maybe just shut.
Think twice and thrice before u speak, koon.
Yes. And that would make me even slower than usual..

Anyway. important thing is lesson learnt.

I really did appreciate all the 3 celebrations, be it simple, casual, efforts or extravagance.. if anyone believes.. Let's fight on. That's my optimistic fighting spirit ( just that i took too many rest..). Strong again! Somehow I always manage to stand up again!:))

Effort Marks the Month

- Not by extravagance but by effort on the actual day.

I was sprinkled with a very pleasant surprise last night. Even I myself can't really believe it and I estimated that i was stunned for almost half a minute.

It is the first time.

The first time, the first time...

I still have the scene so clearly playing in my mind. .. ....

Just after dance lesson, i saw a message that was very different from what I would have expected or usually received. It was a message with the tag 'urgent' to it. Asking me to call him back immediately after my dance as he has something important to ask me. I didnt know what could be soo urgent that would require immediate attention. And a weird thing was...the question asked later on could actually be asked over messages. Well, then i thought to myself 'perharps, he's at that place..'

Then my last question was "Where are you"...somehow i sensed a hesitating reply .."outside". And as usual, i dont probe more into it if i sensed that someone else is not willling to reveal.

Nevertheless, somewhat instinct strucked me.from the moment i stepped out of the dance studio. It feels as if someone is out there waiting for me...

But voices running in my mind said that.."no, it cant't be. He's just not that-kind-of-guy". I stepped into the lift and inside the lift, i was still expecting something. I visioned someone standing right in front of the entrance before tbe lift smiling to me. But again, before the lift opens, voices reminded myself "expectations breed disappointment(s), so it's better not to expect anything". I know clearly that not expecting brings about appreciation and enchantment.

Indeed, there was nobody outside the entrance. But the instinct or the telepathic waves seem to be too strong to totally shelf it aside.

I walked out of the door..stood there for a while and turned my head left (instead of walking towards the right which was supposed to be the way back home)....and guess what... my instinct was right afterall! hahas..i stared at him for a while...then suddenly turned my head to the right to see if my dance friends were ahead.. hahas.

Despite the instinct..it was really a great surprise. Pretty well-planned that i didnt sensed at all fr the start..(i think afternoon?) . Because you dont have it often, it's so enchanted.

How i wish i have a internal recording system that ensures that this whole scene never fades at all...to keep it as it is.

'Effort'

yes..for the past one month, if not for what he said yesterday..i probably haven't realised that indeed effort didnt just mark for just that one day. It marked this whole month. The month when he has to consciously take the effort to make sure things work.. and i have to take the effort to fight on, to tell myself i can do it..to not give up on impulse or irrationally.

Effort..a simple word yet i think it's so appropriate..coz that's what makes this month much much different from the previous others..

how sweet.. :D

Post-Exams LIFE!, Outback Steakhouse

Yea. Finally getting a proper life these days and this will probably last me for about three months. Now i can watch tv, play, shop, dance, sleep without much worries. I haven been dancing without feeling carefree for a couple of weeks. Finally enjoying it like mad on wed :))

I got myself into a shopping spree mood these days. I cant help it but tell myself 'i wanna buy things!" Its both the conscious and sub-conscious at work. And bad habit i have is ..if im unhappy...i spend even more when im out. Sometimes it feels like it's spending for the sake of spending.

9 May 08 (Friday) - Outback Steakhouse

It has been quite a while that cheeky had this cravinng if I didnt remember it wrongly. For sure it was before exams..so that makes it at least 3 weeks. Every dish in that menu looks nice to me. The sides, the main..etc.

And this place...sits across Candy Empire in Millenia Walk.

Red & blaCK

Bloomin' Typhoon (Typhoon Tornado)

Yummie onions. ahahas.. yes..these are in fact onions. And i seriously think this is an expensive plate of onions. And this alone is enough to stuff us to more than semi-full, i think.

Alice Spring Chicken

Bacons, Mushrooms, Cheese and the Spring chicken served with honey mustard..one of those best combinations. Wahahas. And i made cheeky ate almost 3/4 of it, without him knowing it. That's funny. Coz at the end of it..he realises he's so full yet im feeling...okae. hahas.

Attempt of Artistic shot

I think i have a fetish for taking shots w lamps. Weird huhs.

Freedom begins!

And we begin taking pics. LOtsa funny pics but i choose to show only the presentable one. heehees.

And since my lovely cheeky dont wanna treat this as an early celebration for the 8th month..i deemed it as a dinner for post exam and also for overcoming ordeal part 1! :)

Same or different?
