no one else but you....

my sat started out horribly wrong!!!
nothing seems right...
i realised that i wasnt being to fair to those who matters most so i decided to shrug if off my shoulders n move on with things

my boyfriend's amazing....i am guilty of venting my frustrations at him
but he's always there, ever knowing how to calm me down
he was extremely sweet yesterday

he picked me up for dinner
and the first thing he did was to give me a big bear hug
it lasted for a good 10 mins

i was a cry baby
i wept on his shoulders
smudging my mascara n make-up
but i felt good right away...

thank you, sweetheart
YOU'RE THE BEST!

we then went to the nearby restaurant
we had sushi this time
the place was nice...the sashimis were awesome
as usual i didnt take any pic coz i was too hungry... ;p

after dinner we head over to newyork newyork! for dessert!!!
yeah, we both have sweet tooth...
this time round, the boyfriend ordered the mudpie and i had the chocolate lake or something....


the mudpie was nice but nothing beats the one frm Hard Rock Cafe or even NYDC...
but it was alright
my chocolate lake is basically some fried banana fritters, (or goreng pisang - the one fried with tepung adabi) with fresh strawberries floating on a thick chocolate sauce topped with vanilla ice-cream....i-screammmm!!!!.......SINFUL!!!!
it was super sinful!!!
but for the price that we paid, i could have 5 plates of it if i were to just do it at home
bananas & strawberries with chocolate can n will never go wrong!!
but i gotta watch the calories tho...hehe...

after desserts, we went shopping
i was looking out for toys for my nephew's 6th birthday
the boyfriend and i kinda sealed the deal....hehe...after i invited him over to my sister's wedding
well, my nephew's age always reminds me of how long i've been with my sweetheart
while i was busy shopping around, my sweetheart gave me a lil suprise....
he got for me a cute lil bear...and it's none other than the....

TENDERHEART BEAR!!!!

how appropriate!!
and since i nicknamed my boyfriend Bibi - short for habibi as in my lover in arabic- i'm gonna nickname the bear BEBE....hehe....lolx
this bear best describes my boyfriend
he said, "everytime you're down, hug him and think of me..."
now everybody!!....say...."AWWWWWW...."
hehehe...upon further inspection....lolx...inspection sia....haha...
i realised that Bibi and Bebe both have some similarities.....apart from being caring and kind...hehe...
LOOK BELOW haha...i'm evil!!!....lolx
oh well, after he gave me this gift, he brought me to someplace special to chill....
all in all, i had an amazing evening
we're back to what we used to be
the feeling's just awesome and this is the reason why i fall in love with him in the first place
Alhamdulilah, we both realised our mistakes and are putting in efforts to make this relationship works!
There's only one thing I gotta say....

mid-week wednesday....

baby took leave today so that we both could spend some time with each other and at the same time check out stuffs related to our future needs
yeah, it's abt time that we stop procastinating and get down to getting and being informed of stuffs that matters
intially, we're supposed to meet up early in the morning so that we could have breakfast before my meeting with the officials at SPH with regards to work
BUT
yours truly, woke up LATE!!!
Very LATE!
my appt with the SPH guys was at 10.30am but i was up only at 10am....yikes!!!
for the first time, after sooooooooo LONG...(read:school days) i took a freakin quick shower...haha...
unfortunately, i was 10 mins late for the appt :(
but all's good...met up with my sweetheart n thankfully he wasn't mad or anything...
well, he has never been mad at me or what not....he's a sweetheart!
he does get annoyed...lol...he's human but always forgiving - tho STUBBORN...but that's why i love him!

After SPH, the boyfriend and I went to FORK & SPOON at Toa Payoh for our lunch
he had some jap bento set while i had my favourite tom yam ban mian
the thing that i love abt this place is that everything's HALAL!!! (didnt take any pics coz we're both super duper hungy lar... ;p)

after lunch we took the lift to the 3rd floor and began our main plan for being there
those in the know, you'd know where we went to and for what purpose....hehe...
the design for the latest installment was awesome...very nicely done but we both dont quite fancy the location proposed
it was an exciting experience.... :)...lol...
we then went to the 1st floor to make some enquiries
we were told of our options
we decided not to rush and weigh out our options first
before we left told to apply/submit the HLE so that we'd have a rough idea of the range *&^% that we could afford :)

next, baby i went jalan2 round the neighbourhood
i used to grow up around the area n i'm sad that the famous nasi padang stall that has a row of halal food stalls being replaced by the usual kopitiam!
don't we have too many of those already?
i'm missing my rojak bandung, yong tau foo - their chili sause is awesome!!
the chicken rice stall....all GONE!!

in d end we decided to lepak at DeliFrance
since we've kinda just had our lunch, we decided to pig out on the desert instead
i would love to have their Lasagnes au Boeuf but...arrghh... i just had my lunch!!!
so we forgo Lasagnes au Boeuf n had the desserts instead!
my sweetheart ordered Mousse de Chocolat

it's actually Luxurious chocolate mousse coated with a layer of chocolate sauce, and a sprinkling of chocolate feeillentine
and i had the sinful Profiteroles au Chocolat
which is Vanilla ice cream in choux pastry, served with chocolate sauce.

here's the pic from the site vs the one on my plate...hehe...

it was freaking yummilicious!!!
SUPER SINFUL!!!
and i finished it off with a cup of warm mocha....HEAVEN!
the boyfriend n i discussed abt things and we managed to agree on alot that's on the list...
i'm very excited...hehe...
after a few hrs at DeliFrance we decided to chill elsewhere....decide to do something that we haven't for a while now...heh....we went karaoke-ing....
i could never sing to save my life....haha...and the only song that i can sing n it's passable are the songs frm KRU...hahaha....lawak..lawak....he on the other hand...not bad....
NOT BAD means VERY GOOD!!!
i had some vids of him singing but he made me promise that if i ever made it public, he'll stop singing me my lullabys n the cuban pete shoulder shimmy thingy...hehehe...
BUT i managed to steal a pic of him doing his THANG...lol...

i heart him....
i went back at 11.30pm
we did a lot of things today and i'm very tired....
really can't wait to see him again this Sat!!!!....haiz...the torture!
i'm gonna end this post with this mandatory couple pic
Dearest, sweetheart.....I LOVE YOU!

the little package....

i started off my day by meeting up my sweetheart at centerpoint
he had his exam at kaplan....yes of all days, on a SUNDAY!!
i have a feeling he'll do well for this paper....well, he's been getting As for his assignments n past papers, so I wasn't too worried for him

after we met, we decided to catch at movie at the cathay
we took a stroll instead of taking the bus....heh...we've lotsa calories to burn...eh
we talked abt anything n everything under the sun
i've always loved his company
his wit, his sense of humor...hehe...his presence...

we had our lunch at one of the restaurant there...kinda forgot the name of the place but the food was good
the portion was great for the price that we paid for...heh...
we will definitely go there again

after lunch we caught the latest Bond movie....
yeah, we're that SLOW...haha...we've been so busy!
Quantum of Solace (?)

personally, I've never been a fan of the James Bond movie after Sean Connery and this one, well... Judi Dench is better than ever and Daniel Craig, what can I say?, again excellent
he's still one nasty-ass dude, with the kind of rough-edged style that the 007 franchise hasn't seen since the glory days of Sean Connery, but the disappointing part was Olga Kurylenko
she's darn pretty but forgettable, unfortunately
it was said that the plot flows organically from the last instalment....I should have watched that first before purchasing the tix to this one

next, sweetheart n i decided to go to Sim Lim Square to check out the name card printing shop for their rates and some printers for work but unfortunately, the printing shop's closed and we decided to head back to my place after surveying the prices of the printers on offer

back at my place, we quickly get down to work
i've decided that he's the best person to take up the position as an editor for my web portal
he's amazing!!
his ideas and creativity...he's awesome!

seeing him hard at work, typing out proposals and coming out with creative ideas....
i've decided to give him his little gift that i got over the net..heh..how romantic...lol..
remember the post that i wrote abt the lil pkg?

well, here's the GIFT!!!.....hehehehehe...

in case you're wondering, the big boy is my gift that i received from GOD and the t-shirt, is THE GIFT that i got him...:p
my sweetheart looks darn HAPPY, isnt he...lol....
YEAH! He HEART me & my dad!!!.....hahaha...
full name sia...
well, that's not all
to be fair, i've made one for myself too!!
TTAAAAAAADAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!


n I look damn sexy wearing this lor....hahaha....
YUP...I HEART HIM TOO!!!
FULL NAME IS A MUST!
takut salah orang...hehe...
yeah, designed this myself...pfft...like it's so difficult like dat...heh..
and the best part is that you could design the back also...here's ours.... with the one and only....forever, Insya'Allah.
i've had an amazing week....can't wait for what it has in store for me next....
till next time, toodles ya'll.......

i'm very happy whenever i receive news abt couples getting married
it's a wonderful journey that one finally embark on together with the love of their life
i fell in love with a duet that bunga sang during apm2008 with faizal tahir originally sung by ari lasso
well, i actually fell in love with faizal's vocal but well, that's how i got to know abt this bunga n ashraf person...lol..
anyways, i find it very sweet that ashraf tried to sing this popular song with his wife during their wedding

pic coutesy of Oh Bulan.com

11.19.2008

lunch date


just came back frm my lunch date with my sweetheart
it's been a long time since we lunched at Puncak -Far East Plaza
we had our usual beef kueh teow goreng with cockles and fried wanton/yu char kuey sotong combo....YUMMY!!!!...
back in the days, we frequent this place on a quite regular basis
and i really love the cheap good food there...and surprisingly, the food still taste the same after all these years
going there reminds me of our courtship days...heh...
n it feels like so yesterday...so yesterday...lalalalala.....
after lunch, we jln2 around Far East before sweetheart rushes back to work
I bought some portuguese egg tarts from the lil pushcarts on the ground level of Far East Plaza

egg tarts or some called it egg custard tart basically consist of an outer pastry crust, filled with egg custard and baked
the one that i bought, consists of custard in a crème brûlée-like consistency caramelized fashion in a puff pastry case
it was delicious
i forgot the name of the stall tho but the kids enjoyed it as much as i did
the pastry is kinda mix of crispy, soft moist and a lil flaky - very nice
i like the pastry crispy n the custard....super delish!
it's not toooooo sweet just the right consistency
i could perhaps ask the boyfriend to get me some the next time he comes for a visit and if the pushcart is still there
alrighty...that's it for today...get back to work...hmmph...

11.18.2008

A neat little package....

i realised that it is so damn freaking difficult being in a relationship.
it's not just abt you.
i know he's content at times with me just telling him wat to do...heh...but i'm not that kinda girl.
UNFORTUNATELY!
i agree that at times it can be used to my own advantage but if it's too often, heh...i might as well be in a relationship with myself! ;p
see, no matter what, he's gotta give his input in whatever decisions we make that concerns us.
so you can imagine the conflict of opinions and disagreements that we have frm time to time but being with him, he has taught me that it is ok to have different views.
it is ok for me to have different opinions and it is ok for me not to agree with his ideas.
thing is, since i want his inputs, i too have to be ok when his ideas n ideals differs from mine....yikes...hehe....
acceptance, respect and tolerance
he is not perfect and i need to realise that neither am i and i am blessed to be with someone like him. :)
his willingness to listen and the effort he has put in the past mths, makes me appreciate his existence in my life
we've been together for so long and been thru the ups, downs n what have yous....we've realised that apart from all the above, efforts has to be put in by both parties esp when it comes to emotional pampering....hehe....
so YES, my boyfriend has been pampering me these days :D .... just like during our courtship/honeymoon period...hah...
he has stood by me thru the trying times and difficult days
he's always there reaching out when i feel like letting go
the support, the encouragements filled with love never fail to spur me on to push myself further to achieve success
we're gonna be embarking on a new journey together
my eldest brother has given his blessing to have my sweetheart be a part of our company after ng his work to contribute ideas in our projects.....i'm super excited!!!
back to pampering...i'm starting to have a bad habit of shopping online n I SHOP ALOT!!!
from apparels to facial products and recently, i got hooked on a website and decided to get something kinda mushy/tacky for the dearest sweetheart....heh...
and i'm amazed at their awesome prompt service coz the CUSTOMISED item arrives a day after I've placed the order :) efficient eh!
i will reveal the lil surprise only after my sweetheart receives the gift
for now....this lil package arrives this morning....
a reward for my sweetheart for being such a darling! ;p

i cannot wait to surprise/pass him this gift....hehehe....
of course i'll put it in a nicer packaging :)
oh well, gonna go to bed now.....got a lunch date to go to tmrw!
can't wait to see my sweetheart! :)

my happy FOOD!

Well, Sunday did not turn out quite as planned but I had a nice day anyway.
Started out my day feeling quite bummed out but as always happy food comes to the rescue!
People have different ways of dealing with their emotional upheavals.
Some will go for runs and others turn to food.
I used to either run or kick targets-back in NYP when I’m feeling down, the act of ‘running’ is a form of an escape for me to leave my problems behind and kicking targets, well I vent out all my frustrations by kicking the targets...heh...
But over the years, I got lazy :p
VERY lazy….hehe…
Instead, I started to turn to comfort food.
My happy FOOD!
Some will raid their well-stocked cabinets for junk food – think peanut butter, cookies, chips and ice-cream in every imaginable flavor.
Mine will either be ice-creams or a cup of cold milk with cornflakes, topped with lotsa almonds or walnuts and a sinful drizzle of chocolate syrup ….YUMMM!!!…
But yesterday, the boyfriend decided to be a darling and paid me a visit knowin I was feeling crappy - in an attempt to cheer me up! :)
He thought of bring me out for dinner but I just had mine since his visit was kinda pleasant suprise.
So instead, we bought Durra & Akmal out to Gelare for the super awesome cookies & cream ice-cream topped with Oreos and the delicious waffles soaked in hot chocolate, served with chocolate overload & wild berries ice-cream!


Talk about HAPPY FOOD!!! ...haha...
Made me VERY HAPPY indeed!!! (:
Luckily, I've had my dinner....or I'd have 2nd round of that sinful waffles with ice-cream!!!
We had a great time.
The kids were happy n they were cracking jokes all round.
I think they had fun with the boyfriend around...hehe...
We kinda ended the evening with our favourite peppermint milk tea with pearl.
Akmal made me promise to bring them out again to TIMEZONE the next time round.
The boyfriend cheered me up and I couldn't ask for more.

Yup, Vef....6 years on and I still love him...hehe...
More good things to come, Insya'Allah!

11.15.2008

insane

it is kinda official!!!..hahah..
i am so freaking addicted to FACEBOOK!!!
Been playing this game called MAFIA WARS on Facebook.
....haiz..it's so freaking addictive.
Otherwise, my Saturday's kinda relax.
There's so many things for me to do on Monday tho, but we shall leave all that for Monday eh...
I recently bought some facial mask called Dainty Design sold in some multiply sprees.
I used to purchase this mask at 3 for $10.00 over the counter at SASA and found that the product is very good-well for my skin it is :) .
It leaves my skin supple, refreshed and pimple breakouts are lesser after I started using it.
I used to try the Neutrogena Deep hydrating mask n SKII masks but I get horrible breakouts but suprisingly with DD, my skin behaves...hehe...
Its even cheaper too at only $1!!
Not only that, the mask is cooling and has a very pleasant scent.
I feel relaxed and pampered everytime I put it on.
Though it is not a well raved brand but I must that say for the price and the effects it gives, its worth it!
So far I've tried the Tomato, Rose, Aloe Vera and Collagen.
To Ameera, thank you for the info on where to get the DD mask online.... :)
As for Esther and LiAnn, your orders are on the way.
Update me once you've tried the mask, ya?
Guess that's it for today's update....back to Facebook it is...hehehe...

11.14.2008

wow...

it has been a while alright...
n lotsa things been happening
GOOD THINGS
i'm learning to see life in a different perspective
coz different individuals have different outlooks on life
sometimes, it’s hard for me not to over analyze things and wonder of the hidden meanings or whatnots but like what I’ve said, I am learning to slowly have a grasp of the on goings and try to understand and accept that everyone’s different in more ways than one
ACCEPTANCE
because of this, my relationship with my sayang, has been AWESOME
we’ve finally managed to get thru to each other’s super thick and stubborn skull
LOVE, TOLERENCE, TRUST & RESPECT
Amongst the most important ingredient in any relationships
I too choose to be HAPPY.
LIFE’s too short!
Make the most out of it!!!
