thru' a friend's friend's link..i'm actually linked to a particular person's blog..


i do not know him but he's in the same job as me..just that we're in different departments and locations..but to put it simply, i think he is blogging too much about his job for his own good..


maybe i am too sensitive..or maybe it's just that he doesn't see it from an ordinary person's point of view..certain issues can be tricky and rather sensitive to talk about at times..


but then, it's his blog.


i just hope that he ain't into any hotter soup than he is now.


on a brighter note..i chatted with grace on the phone last night for 2 long hours..amazing but true..


and we only hanged up after we realised it was 3am..talked about everything under the moon..practically everything..from work to guys..to burning hair..to people getting married..to affairs..to eating..to India...haha..to everything..


it's amazing how much we can talk and how entertaining we can be in each other's presence..despite talking a lot for the past 11 years!


haha..my best friend..too bad jul was asleep..if not, we would have talked the hell out of more things..


anyway..i am so into going to India now..after much talking wif grace..it's just that i need to save up a big amount of money for shopping..which, is never really that enough for me..and i can bet that there'll definately be a luggage overload..just look at how much i spent at Bangkok last year alone..


so,i am gonna be in a 'saving' mode now..no more shopping in malls and online..


haha..i'll seriously do it k..


and i counted my ang pow money last night..quite a good start though..managed to take in near to 200 bucks of ang pow..


hahaha..shall save up the money...though i am contemplating on gettin' some clothes.. :P


oh well...i have got nothin much actually...have been resting my head and feet the past 2 days..guess what i really needed was a break..from work and people and everything..


and i feel really good throwing away some old pairs of shoes i have been keeping and procrasinating about..


it's like a new step ahead..haha..gettin' super cranky i guess..but then..shall be back tomorrow..


byee..









there ain't anything much to blog about these days..


just that i am gonna be kind of super busy the next few days..so, this is kind of my last day of enjoyment..i'm lazy to get out of the house, so staying at home will be good..


plus, the laundry's kind of piling up and i guess it's time to dump them all into the washing machine..


my entry today seems kind of boring and nothin' much interesting..which leaves me wondering if i am kind of blogging due to addiction or just simply cause' i need to type something..


woke up super early today..like 6 plus?..just can't get myself back to sleep..and i can't really remember why i woke up in the first place..


and my stomach's kind of weird too..kept having this shitty sensation..maybe it's too much of new year goodies..


didn't really plan much for today..more of a ad-hoc thingy..but today is a special day for myself..just gonna spend time pampering myself and nothin' much..i think i very much deserve an 'alicia' day..you know, those kind where you actually spend time alone..doing things that only you like and enjoy..


that'll be good..it's been a long long time since i last did it..but it's not due to anything depressive though..maybe it's a girlie thingy or it's just me..but i strongly believe that no matter how close you are to everybody, you ought to leave some private time for yourself..be it a break or just simply private time to reflect and relax..


everyone deserves it once in a blue moon..


oh yeah..received a S$80 voucher from M1..persuading me to get a phone..it's like 80 bucks off a phone kind of thing..


i am kind of tempted..but i guess i shall give it a miss..phones just ain't that much of an importance now..no doubt it has become a necessity in my life..but now just ain't a good time to get a new phone anyway..considering that this present one still kind of works good..though it does have its tantrums at times..


anyway, i spoke to fend 2 days back..haha..we finally spoke on the phone for a long time after so long~..just miss the crappy stuff he talks about..


he's a great guy..and yeah, i am sure you can make it for your '26' dateline.. :D


and by the time you reach this particular sentence, you would have realised that this post is actually kind of messy..with random thought here and there..


just can't organise my thots well today..so, these are all the un-amended and un-edited thots..maybe it's the new year mood..or simply the laziness in me..


haha..not much pics to post up either..all have been posted up in fact..


alright..gonna go pack some stuff in my room and wash some clothes..


byee..

At Jul's Open House for CNY..


my besties...












for the 11 long years...


thanks for being there thru the ups and downs..words can never be enough to describe how thankful i am for the both of you to be in my life.. :D





Happie Chinese New Year..
to one and all!!


gong xi gong xi~


this entry's gonna be just greetings to everyone...cause' it's lunar new year and i am gonna go visiting soon..hee..visited my mum's relatives yesterday..today shall be my bestie's..jul's house..


hee hee..gong xi fa cai~...


love,
alicia..




today, i can't help but wanna blog about Mr. Cheng..


though i have been saying time and again that a gal should never blog about her guy too much or at every entry..cause' it just seems to create this impression that her life is everything about the guy and every other thing is secondary..


today, i think i am gonna eat back my own words. i have been itching to blog about him but as always, i would either blog somewhere else or eat up my own thoughts. today, i just can't help but wanna delicate an entry to him.


for all the sweet little things he did for me and for every other thing that i learnt from him.


yeah, i might be creating this impression that my guy's everything important to me. mind you but my friends are as important, especially my besties..jul and grace..you still hold a big part of my heart..especially so when we've spent half of our lives together!


and so, back to Mr. Cheng..


yeah, maybe it's a passing 'relationship' phrase or a honeymoon period..but he's damn sweet to me..which explains why i have been delicating the previous 2 entries to him..i know, all this could be over soon and we'll have to deal with our individual preferences and personality differences..and soon, we'll get into this and that quarrell..fights here and there..


but not that i mind having quarrells or fights..i just think they should come in once in a while..so that both would learn and treasure more..


i remembered i once asked him of what happens if we should get into a fight one day..easily he told me that i should not worry a bit cause' he would give in to me..and he ended the conversation saying that we would never get into one anyway..


which left me wondering how life would be in a relationship without quarrells..


perfect? or simply 'nothing'?


anyway, i seldom would quarrell with people i love, unless they does something to piss me off to the max..but given the good nature and temper of my baby, i doubt he would ever piss me off..but if he does, given all those sincere words from the heart, i am bound to give in..


nevertheless, i also realised something about him..whenever he quarrells with someone, it tends to be in Mandarin..and whenever i get into an argument with someone, it has to be in English..else i would have lots of difficulties just trying to get my point across..


talking about such stuff..we are both kind of like magnets..'opposites attract'..


i am a business student while he's into engineering..he's super good in Mandarin while i am more proficient in English..he loves Geography while i love History..cause' he hates memorising while i enjoyed it to the max..


he's kind of into sports..while i am a freaking shopaholic..we are in the exact opposite teams at work..whenever he works, i am off..and when he's having off, i am working..


haha..and despite all these, we are together and well, as what i have always said..it's everything about feeling blissful and happie..


there was this one time where i asked him what he liked about me and he told me it's that one sort of happy feeling..


i thought about what i liked about him and the conclusion boils down to his sincerity and good-heartedness..


and since the day people knew that we're together...everyone has been giving me their blessings and saying that they are happie for me..


well..i am happie too..


when people love you and seriously wanna treat you well from the bottom of their heart, one look into their eyes and you know it. this is what i feel about him. everytime i look into his eyes, i see a sense of something that in turn makes me feel good.


i am not that young but ain't that old either. i can jolly well differentiate the difference between superficial and real love and care. i don't need superficial and material stuff to make me happie or to complete me or my life. i need something that lasts more than that. something that is beyond time and people.


read thru' Straits Times's Life section today..it said this, 'fancy cars, new clothes and big houses all get pushed as the secret of happiness. But that is just not the case. Learning to be happie is a process. Part of that process is having appropriate expectations'..


i used to think of the good life that money, fame and a rich career would bring. but now, a good life could just be as easy as a well-cooked meal.


and all this just reminds me that happiness is in the simplest thing in life. and i am glad that i have Mr. Cheng who showed me the other side of happiness that i have long forgotten.


"for the days that past us by..
i'm truly glad to have you by my side..
you're one reason why i could still believe in love..
and you're the reason why there's always something to look forward to everyday.."




Valentine's Day..


this one day had been all bland and simple the past few years..


but this year was one Special One i had...with none other than Mr. Cheng..


was working on 14th...and confidently thought i could leave on time..but ended up leaving later than i had thought..much more later..poor him ended up waiting for me for 3 long hours..walking the whole of Novena Sq..United Square and KKH...haha..KKH was a little funny la..cause' near to our workplace..


when we finally met..these was what he gave me..





afterwhich, went for dinner at TCC express along Orchard..was near to midnight when we finally met..so, i guess TCC's the nearest and convenient..


was too hungry to snap any pics when we met that we just ate..


but the slipper lobster linguini was nice..maybe a little to garlic-ly...but the sauce was alright though..


after dinner..went for a small walk and ended up at Clake Quay..there seriously wasn't much places to go in the night..unless you consider Mustafa as a good choice..haha..just kidding..fyi, i do go there k..in the day la..


and the rest of the pics are...



a nite by the river..




this card was found in the bouquet of flowers..there's a hidden msg inside..but no pics of that..it's a secret that only me and him knows..a nice 3 liner..




the bear from the bouquet of chocs..










my pressie.. it's a necklace but my phone can't really 'macro' in the necklace..so no pics of it..



forgotten to snap a pic of my pressie to him..but the pic's already in my blog.. haha, it's that Titus watch a few entries back.. bought 2 of it..since it's a unisex watch..


here's e pic..






and the pic of the night..





just the 2 of us..blissful and happie..


"i thought of life so far and suddenly, every other failed relationship just began to make some sense..you've got to go thru' mis-matched pieces in life to find a good one.."





feeling happie and blissful..


had a bbq yesterday at East Coast Park..it was all good and nice...the weather, the food and everything else.. just 2 persons..me and Mr. Cheng...and i took all e pics with my digi cam that has been accumulating way too much dust..


and not to my surprise..the pics turned out great..but too much and too big to load all one by one..thus, i used photoshop to merge them all..


the both of us didn't even prepare much for the bbq...the idea actually came a few days back when we were just taking a walk somewhere..


and yesterday..he booked the pit..we met and bought S$40+ of food and bbq utensils from Marine Parade's Giant and headed down for a grilling good time...and even the lighter was borowed from the next-pit-barbeque-ers... :D






had hotdogs..prawns..crabmeats..fishballs..salmon..chicken..marshmellows..loved the salmon and fishy balls the most..


actually, the food was simple but made nice by my Mr. Cheng..


but then..it is also important to credit the marinator who combined simple food with sauces well..and that is none other than me..haha


and the Lee Kum Kee's Char Siew Sauce just added an exotic taste to everything..





we worked well together..i marinated..he cooked..we ate..and last but not least..when everything's cooked and you have nothing else better to do..playing around with fire is one of the best things you can think of..


imagine the combi of charcoal, butter, Char Siew Sauce, prawn heads?..i told you it was exotic.. :P


haha..


and my favourite pic of the night would have to be the below-mentioned..


see anything special about it?







well..when i first saw it..it just didn't occur to me..cause' i was busy marinating the stuff..it was when i took a bite and he told me to look again did i realise that it was such a sweet message...






get it?


haha...


that's why i feel happie and blissful.. :D




i am kind of depressed for no apparent reason out of the blue...


maybe it's just a passing moment...you know, those kind of times where you just feel no good and wanted to be all alone..but thing is, i do not really have anything in particular that upsets me..


this is bad..it's like out of a sudden that this stupid depression sets in..and now i feel like crying..shit man..it ain't PMS i can be pretty sure..so what the hell is it?...arrggh...


nvm..i shall go rest in bed or just sleep it off..


going out later for a bbq..just have this sudden mood to bring my digi camera..forgotten about it since a long long time ago..think it's time i place it in my hands and start snapping good pics of life and everything else beautiful..


byee...




went shopping for new year clothes the past week...here are some good finds..but did not buy any in the end..


maybe it's me being fussy..or maybe it's just a sign from God for me to stop spending cause' they were all last pieces and i just found at least 5 new pices of clothings i have bought but never worn...


call me a shopaholic~...



from Forever21..




from some Dhoby Ghaut shop..


now looking back at these pics..kind of liked it...


maybe i shall go back again...haha...but something just tells me that i am gonna find something good in Tampines...my good old haunt..so maybe i'll just drop by there..hee..


and i so wanna go cheena-town...all the goodies...and the crowd..haha...love chinese new years..gives a damn good reason to buy lots of new clothes...and eat lots of good food and goodies..and most importantly...$$$...got ang-baos..haha..


alright..gotta go..byee...




dear friend..


i just read your comment on my tagbox..but it has been removed..


reason being that i find the comment rather inappropriate and offensive. Plus, with the fact that you are a close friend and having this kind of senseless comment coming from you, i am taking it rather personal and to heart.


the watch might not worth anything much to you. But is worth a lot to me in a sense that it has a special meaning to me, of which i already find no point to blog in here anyway. the amount i spent on the watch might be steep to some people and it might not be so called 'worth it' to you. but pics are always pics. often than not, they differs from the real.


frankly speaking, i dun give a damn of whether it looks 4oo bucks a not..it's the meaning behind it that's worth it. money can buy a lot of things, you know it too. but there are some things that money can never buy.


the part of the comment that i took it more to heart was the 2nd part. I do not know if it was made out of just a passing thought or a specific meaning in between the words.


it is a rather hurtful comment and i can't help but feel pissed.
