Big Boyz Toyz - Cars n Soccer Balls

Fast Cars, Cute Cars
Just read Jasmine's blog that she's gonna get a Honda Civic (8th model). I suppose her parents bought it for her. Freak. Im so jealous. I drive a Honda Civic too! But...it's the 7th model...and unlike her, the car is not mine but my dad's. Shucks. I guess life for everyone turns out really differently. Well, Baby and I went to look at cars on Saturday too. We went to the stretch of car showrooms at Ubi. Woah...I love cute cars! If I cant afford my Volkswagen Beetle, I'll just have to settle for smthg similar, small and cute first, before saving up hard and buying my dream car in the faraway future. Did I say "faraway future"? Yeah...what a bummer. Unless I land myself w a super job that pays super mega-bucks.

Personally I find Nissan March a very cute car! I see it on the streets and I'll go "so cute!" But in terms of performance, I guess it is not fantastic. On the contrary, I think Honda Jazz is a pretty good car. It is cute-looking too and it is definitely a better car than Nissan March, however, much pricier. It cost as much or even more than a Nissan Sunny. But what can I say? Better stick to what Baby and I can afford. And then, there are other issues involved too that goes far beyond the price of the car. Mebbe I shud just not hope for too much and be a simple girl that drives her daddy's car or wait for her dear bf to drive her around in his dad's car during weekends?

Soccer Hooha
At night, we rushed to Baby's home to watch our long-awaited Liverpool vs Manchester United match! N these two silly Babies actually wore their out-of-season Red Liverpool and Blue Man United (Away) jersey, ordered pizza, and had their eyes glued to the screen of a big green patch with a little white ball and many little red and blue men. Baby's jersey is so much more outdated than mine! Haha! He has that stewpid Beckham's name and jersey no. sewn on the back of his Man United Away jersey. Looks real silly to me coz Beckham is no longer a Red Devil eons ago! Crappy!

Anyway Liverpool won 1-0! N Baby was still so "ya-ya" and confident that Man U will win. What crap! Into the last 10mins of the game, Baby and I were sitting at the edge of the sofa, hugging cushions tightly to our chest as if our hearts r gonna pop out, and biting our nails as we await the final verdict. N the result is...Liverpool has brought glory to me and all its fans around the world. Yay Yay! N poor Baby was stomping his feet on the ground in disbelief and disappointment (what a kid!). Wahaha!

Whatz even funnier is that I won our bet! I bet with him that if Liverpool wins, he would have to dance crazily and ridiculously to a full song picked out by me. I think itz gonna be hilarious! Coz Baby once mimicked the back dancer of a lion dance and there he was bending over and shaking his booty for 3 seconds. Altho it is a short mere 3 secs, it was long enuff to send me into delirious amusement as I burst out laughing ever-so-loudly. My Baby can really do funny and highly amusing things sometimes. I think thatz cool coz he knows juz how to cheer me up and make me laugh. Cant wait for him to fulfill his bet! And what if Man U had won? Baby haven't thot of a penalty for me when the match began...so we nvr got to that. Haha! But we dun even have too...coz Liverpool won! Yippeeeee!!!

It was another simple day...yet, we were so happy.

Ze Pink Panther

It was a Friday night of mad laughter and crazy-ness as usual. The Swing Girls never fail to elicit the energy out of me. We went back to the Japanese Buffet Restaurant where we once celebrated good times and end of school term. It was almost our 1-year anniversary there. It certainly brought back good memories, like how we posed crazily and took lotsa weird yet cute pictures, how we were cooking and talking nonsense at the same time (poor Fiona doesn't know how to cook and has to depend on the Super-Chef Adeline!) and of coz how Jialing tried to steal the whole tub of peppermint ice-cream to our table. Altho the service level wasn't as good as before, nor were we as crazy and energetic as before, it was a great dinner and catch-up session with my beloved girls.

Plans to go Thumper or KTV were thrashed. The Swing Girls juz wanted to do something relaxing. So Miss Fiona suggested gg to watch some bimbotic, no-brainer and super funny show. Typical of her huh? After much hassling at the ticket booth, the Swing Girls settled for The Pink Panther. True enough, it was the stupidest show anyone could ever watch. Im not saying it is lousy. It is just stupidly hilarious and highly amusing. Miss Fiona cudnt stop laughing every 5 mins. Steve Martin was a walking clown! Poor Jialing had to tahan Miss Fiona's loud laughter as she grabbed of her arms at every little thing she found so funny.

As Miss Fiona love and miss her Swing Girls so much, she suggested meeting at least once every month in the midst of everyone's busy schedule. N so the date was set at every 2nd Friday of the month. If not, 3rd Friday, if smthg crops up. So cya girls at our next gathering on 10th March!

Organizing schedule for every month is as follow (by alphabetical order):
1. Adeline
2. Charline
3. Elizabeth
4. Fiona
5. Jialing
6. Jolin

So next up, it is supposed to be Charline's turn to organize since Adeline organized this one. But! Because she was not present at our last gathering, I supposed she might be a lil' clueless about what's gg on. So! Going down the list, Elizabeth shall have the honour of organizing the next meeting! Yay! Pls post comments if there are any violent objections.

Our 1st Valentine's Day together!

Our first Valentine's Day together...is coincidentally our 9th month anniversary. Double happiness, double call for celebration. What did we do? Nothing much. Juz a simple, loving day spent together. N that was all it took to make me feel like there is heaven on earth.

It feels like we've been together for a long long time. We've got it going...with a special connection and bond that we share. I said to my baby...through the hours, weeks and days that we spent together, don't you wish we could have just one more minute? He cudnt agree more. 24 hours a day doesnt seem quite enuff for us to spend together...a lifetime doesnt feel adequate for us to love each other. It feels like years instead of months. He feels like a husband instead of a boyfriend. I love that feeling...the feeling of being tied down. Because i know he is mine and i am his. My object of love has turned into an object of obsession.

A simple dinner, a nice walk, and an engaging conversation in the comfort of his room --- the itinerary of our Vday. And den, he sang...after such a long time. He has forgotten some of the lyrics to our song...but he did not forget how much i love it...he did not forget our tune..for he has been carrying it in his heart all the time. As he serenaded me, we held each other close and started swaying...den i joined him in singing. The picture was complete. It was such a sweet moment...my heart melted like valentine's day chocolates..to feel his breathe on my face...to hear his voice close to my ear. From swaying...we started dancing...waltz? ballroom? salsa? It didnt matter. We made up our own dance...twirling around the room like we were the most professional dancers in the world. We were lost..in a world of our own..in our cosy strawberry lala land, where we could be the best. We could be anyone we want, have anything we want, be the rulers of our land.

Reality hit us. It was time for me to leave. Quoting Shakespeare, parting is such sweet sorrow. But I know our separation will be short-lived. It wun be long before we step into our own world again...our lala land...together hand-in-hand. I can truly say that everyday is our Valentine's Day.

Where did Miss Fun go?

Working life makes you lose touch with your fun side. Not for many, but definitely for me. A fren said to me recently, "Ever since you started work, u r no longer happening. You became such a boring person...no longer the Miss Fun i once knew." It hit me hard that i was losing my life to work and to love.

Working my ass off yet with little recognition. Will increment come my way when i get my confirmation come this 22nd Feb? I doubt so. I am always so tired after work, n i realli love gg home to my mummy's home cooked food and to my beloved tee-vee and my cosy bed. N of coz...the phone, which i use to rattle off my little mundane musings and stories to my bf. And on other days, like Wednesdays and Fridays, I'll meet Nic after work for family dinners and Friday stay-home-n-chill nights. Den comes Saturdays and i'll be off with my bf once again shopping, eating, or simply lazing ard. N lo and behold! Itz Sunday....gym/swim day...sometimes Lazy Day where i laze ard and lie in bed the whole day, watching tv n doing nothing else. And I think my weekends r really fun!

So basically, to sum it all, my idea of fun now is just to chill out at home and laze ard. Yep Im not longer Miss Fun but Miss Lazy! And when i read my fren's blog or catch up with them, they have so much to talk about! So many things are happening in their lives. A good example is some of my friends go drinking or shopping with their colleagues..n i can NEVER do that! My colleagues aint happening ya know. All married..gosh... n most are with kids. N the rest who r my age, are not in my team...and they usually have their own happening life outside..or so I presume.

To the friend who commented that I am not longer fun...you are so damn right! I dun club anymore, dun drink anymore, dun sing ktv anymore...and i go home before 2am on saturdays, and before midnight on Fridays. I need to find myself again. I cant be lost in my work and get so tired everytime that i just wanna chill and laze ard at home or my bf's home.

I'll start doing fun things starting this Sat! Things i have never done before!Like... I wanna go visit car showrooms (without my dad)....itz time to start thinking when can i ever afford a car, or rather, how can i shorten the time i take to finally have my own car. I know a car is a liability...but...i simply hate taking public transport. There u go..although itz not such a big step to being the Miss Fun once upon a time...but at least the Princess in me is still alive n kicking.

Anyway, a Happie Valentine's Day to all. Treasure your love ones around you..n mostly importantly treasure your frens...coz i sure do miss mine like hell.

Oh yeah n i bought my Mr Nic. a Mont Blanc belt! It feels damn good to be able to afford nice and expensive stuff...Whippee! Lucky Mr Nic..hehehe...
