1. Tuesdate: DINNZ DATE WITH MY BOY

It's been awhile since we went out for a dinnz date just the two of us and I've heard alot about Smith's so I thought why not? Hahaha my initial plan was to surprise Kaiwen by not telling him where we're exactly heading to but IT FAILED. 

Hahaha because I was too excited about it and I told him 3 days before. So much for keeping it as a surprise, pffftt. I think I can't keep my mouth shut or the details to myself when I'm too stoked for something, yeah cause my plans to surprise Kaiwen always fails :(

(E-LEARNING WEEK,WHOOP WHOOP) Had to help out for the shirt sales in school and Sales was kinda good! At least, I thought that we did really well for the day. I ended the same time as he did so he bused over to NP before we started our mini adventure hehehe.

The night before, I was doing my research on how to get there because I SUCK AT DIRECTIONS and this time round, I wanted to ensure that we would not get lost and prove that I'm not that bad with directions. And well well well, I actually knew that place. 

HAHAHA silly me. Yes, I've been to that place a million times because my Godparents always bring us there to eat @Waffletown but I did not know that Smith's was just located like 4 shops or a stretch of shops away. And now I know that the place is called Balmoral Plaza, at long last. 

The food was quite good & it was good for its price because the fish is really huge and they serve it like how they do in Britain. All wrapped up in paper! Their servings of chips is also alot. I highly recommend the Dory Fish & Chips and two can share a portion because it's really too much for one to handle. (You might get a lil jalat after eating too much)

The weather was surprisingly good as well, Thank you God for sucha good weather! I was worried because the skies were rather gloomy in the noon & it rained but thank goodness it all cleared at 4 just before we headed out! :D

Maybe because we were there early so there wasn't many people and it's a good thing because it was quiet and kinda comfy. It was comforting to enjoy good food with good company, soaking up the good weather and just talking about anything and everything. It felt really really good, hahaha occasional dinner dates are really important!

And for dessert, I brought the boy to one of my fave's Waffletown! Cheap & Yummy waffles for all waffle-lovers! (: I got to know of this place because of my godparents as mentioned earlier. This was where they met, hehehe. My Godma was working there and my godpa went there to eat and Bam! They fell in love and the story goes on. Kekeke, pretty cute love story! Kinda like those in the movies (;  

Yes, it was one fish-tabulous, fish-tastic, wafflicious day! Hahaha. And I really really really hope that every 16th, we can have our waffle-day together, just like what the boy suggested!

BLUE TO MY BONES.

Did you really meant what you said out loud? So loud that I can hear you from the TV room to my room. And, this time round it hurt. It really did.

The two sentences, killed all the joy I accumulated in a day. Just gone like that. Do you ever know how I feel? Well, let's see - No. I guess the reason why we bicker all the time is because we've one similarity, stubborn & very headstrong. Kinda like rubbing two stones against each other, heat is produce. And yeap, all the anger and hurtful words start coming out.

I don't pick an arguement for the sake of it y'know, it's so tiring to be home after school and then WW Thousand happens. That's one of the reasons why I don't really like heading back home for dinnz, it's because I think/feel that dinner would be so much more peaceful without my presence. And I really think it's true.

There are times when I just close a ear & believe that you've had a long day at work and you just need a ranting outlet but of course, I've days like that too. And sometimes, you just cross the line. I don't understand or I might never comprehend your principles or how your mindset works. Because to me, they don't make any sense. The rest in the fam just can't be bothered, are to tired to tell you that but I cannot tolerate all that shit.

Sometimes, I don't know how it all ended up like this. The atmosphere, the communication, the way we run as a family, it's all different now & I don't like it one bit. Yes, we do have those days where we're all in a good mood and things like that & you and mummy really work hard to give us a better than average life with annual holidays, investing in stuff etc. I don't deny all these & I understand how hard it is. Trust me, I really do. It's just the way we communicate, yeah I think that's the root to it all.

Most of the time, I wish I could be very very open with you and mummy like how open I can be with a stranger. Pouring out my thoughts, rants, share with you all how my day went, introduce all of my friends to you, share lil secrets with you, tell you about my crushes, share with you gossips and things like that. Most teens these days might not understand why and might not like it but I do. I really want to. 

I honestly envy those who can be like that with their parents, it's so amazing. That's something I really for to happen. But I thank God for my amazing Godparents. I might not be able to do all those with my parents but at least, I can do so with my Godma. I thank them for taking out time to listen to me share about my everyday life. It's a really special & heart-warming feeling you get when you share things with them, especially happy moments. I love how I can tell them about my dates, about my school, about my friends, about Kaiwen. I love how they will sit down and listen. I love how they give my advice when I face problems and they guide me along the way. I really love family-time & the closeness a family has. I believe that these are special, individualized gifts from God.

Two in the morning now, glad to have them off my chest and hopefully head to bed with a lighter heart.

WHAT A SUNDAY

Finally done printing, editing and whatever that has to be done for all my assignments, phew! Not really the best way to start the Monday, 1.12AM but I'm so relieved that all is done, done done! (:

I hope, really hope that I can kick the bad habit of procrastinating & leaving work till the last minute because the feeling of having to rush work and overly killing of brain cells doesn't seem any appealing at all :( I should prolly put that in my 2014' Resolutions, hahaha. Yupp, maybe I should.

Decided to hit the gym after school later because I just had one hell of a fatty, unhealthy, junky weekend. Very very sinful & it's time to hit the gym! It's always good me-time in the gym.

Aites, gonna pack my stuff for tomorrow & crash. P/s: not gonna meet the boy till next week :( Gonna miss you truckloads, already missing you, study hard for your tests! Love you!

FIFTH.

All the Christmas related pictures on Tumblr just makes me all SOOOOO EGG-CITED for Christmas to come! Hehehe one of my favourite festivals/celebrations ever! No one is ever too old for Christmas or will ever outgrow Christmas (: Yayyy, can't wait for the days to pass & for Christmas to come!

"I shouldn't be in a relationship with anyone whom I wouldn't marry, for its a waste of time and takes you off the market." Kudos to the fella who said this.

Thank you for taking time out to listen to me talk about today, it means alot to me. It's also one of the reasons why I love our walks back to my place whenever you're sending me home. I find it so comforting to seek your presence and attention as I share with you about my thoughts, feelings & everything.

I need not have to worry about any single thing because I know that I'm safe with you & whatever I say will be safe with you but most importantly, you'll still love me for who I am. And the walking me home is prolly the best time ever to have deep talks and to communicate. And that's healthy in a relationship like what you said, that's how we grow together and closer & learn more about each other.

I swear, it feels so good to talk to you, without having to hide anything from you.  

Thank you so much sweetie, love you to bits & pieces! Muah!

XX. Happy fifth love!

WEEK IN A WALNUT SHELL

Sup guys! A super lengthy + visual-sy post coming your way, so please bear with me. Up till now, I have issues with uploading my photos from my Iphone to the lappy :( Whenever I have my phone plugged into the lappy, the phone icon (Iphone users, you get what I'm talking about right) doesn't appear & I can't share my photos with you guys. Only if I'm lucky, which happens like once in 2 months or something, the icon appears and tonight happens so to be one of my lucky nights kekeke.

So this post will pretty much be a mix of old visuals & this week's since I'm sharing my walnut shell week with you all! :D

[YEAR END CONCERT WITH MY KIDDOS] as promised.

 My favourite trio. 

 They were all so stoked, jumpy & extremely noisy on our way to RP! Wished I could take vids/photos of every moment & share it with you guys though because I felt so extremely egg-cited and really really happy, somewhat like I was gonna perform too. But yes, these angels made the teachers & especially me very proud (': Every single one of you owned the stage and I couldn't be anymore impressed by you lil ones. Small figures with either dashing/beautiful faces putting in your 100% in the performance and all of you wore one common thing and that was ---your genuine smile. I swear, I was like one proud Mama on that day. Like those Mums who rush or block the people behind just to take a 10 sec clip of my child & take out a piece of tissue to wipe those tears away. HAHAHAH NAH I KID, THAT'S SO DRAMA MAMA!

And Adam came up to me to have a photo taken too! He was sucha sweetheart that day because he became my assistant for calling those who needed to put on make-up and touch up but also help me kept everyone quiet. This boy was so vain that he came up to me every 15 mins telling to spike his hair higher or to apply more make-up on him, hahaha.

Did I mention how he loved taking photos?

Me walking around snapping photos of the kids
Adam: Ms Ernchi, cheeesseee *strikes pose
Let me see! Let me see! *jumps up & down

Me bends down to show him photo (refer to pic.1)
Adam *smiles to himself, take one more can?

*strikes pose, rushes to me (refer to pic.2)
Adam: Danni block me! Take again! Last one okay? Pleaseeee
(he shows me those two big mesmerizing eyes, now how can I say no to them?)

*same pose for all three pictures, HAHAHAHA  too cute already
*see photo, huge ass smile (refer to pic.3)
Adam: THANK YOU MS ERNCHI, I LOVE YOU *throws me big bear hug & kiss on my lips

1. FRY-DAY: Stayhome with my boy!

Met Tabin @ the bus stop as always //sidenote: OUR TIMETABLES DON'T REALLY MATCH, SO BIN,KHAI & I CAN'T HAVE OUR BUS RIDES MORNZ LIKE BEFORE :( BOOOO

And so, I was suppose to head to school for tuts but while I was walking to the interchange, I just didn't feel like heading for tuts since it was only for 2 hours so I decided to make a detour to the boy's! Super impromptu but as always, our impromptu arrangements always work out somehow. Cuddled in bed, really great for a Friday mornz before making breakkie! :D 

Toast + Scrambled Eggs + Bacon + Ham + Milk = SATISFYING BREAKKIE

All whipped up my Chef Chang, hehehe figured I should prepare them since Kaiwen was always the one prepping! So I did all the frying (which was 75% of everything) and he did the toasting & pouring of milk. 

I don't know if it is out of habit or curiosity but I always catch myself observing him. The big things to the littlest, tiny things, I find myself looking. And boy are they mesmerizing. Watching him in full admiration, I kinda like doing that.

Then watched tv, before just lazying around, doing nothing & talking.

Ah yes, cuddling session part two hehs the weather was too good.

Then we were hungry & I decided to cook Pasta for us! (:

Self-proclaim: I think I make good wife material cause there's this saying " The way to get to a man's heart is through his stomach" and I'm doing a really great job in that aspect!

My qt.

I love you so darn much best boyfie in the entire galaxy! Muah! One night, I forgot which night, while we were waiting for 969, we were talking about the past, the periods where we were alone, like literally alone without each other. Not talking, not texting, not meeting. Just living our own lives. I found out how we mutually missed each other, how we didn't have the courage to text/call each other (I always dialed but didn't press the call button ; he always drafted a text but didn't press the send button) Pretty much sounds likea drama.

But most importantly, I realized how we didn't cherish/appreciate each other & we didn't want each other enough (or at least I felt that I did). And for him, he took me for granted. (Just saying bby, still love you many many hahahah)

Though we took a really long time (2 years plus), we went in many many circles, went through a holly-macaroni vicious cycle, had many arguements when it didn't work out and it was so so terrible for us ; mentally taxing and heartbroken me, but I'm honestly glad that it happened.

Yes, I really am. I was telling Kaiwen how it was all these ordeals, challenges, super long time periods away from each other that made us how we are right now. 

No fights/arguements (as of now & none to come hopefully), we pretty much talk things out when we have our different views/thoughts etc, we compromise, we understand, we respect, we love & not hate, we always show how much we appreciate each other and of course, the little things we do for each other.

 We thank each other most of the time, not because that we are so formal with each other but it acts as a reminder to always be thankful and show appreciation for what he/I did. Yes, they are as simple as "thank you so much" but in a long run, it means alot. It adds on to our love tank, making sure that it is never run low.

Our first main, most important "value" is: TO BE HAPPY & HAVE FUN.

Isn't it important? To be happy, enjoy every single moment & have tons of fun! I think we spend 98% of our time together just having fun. They pretty much consist of goofing around, doing silly things, letting out the inner-kid in us and just laugh, laugh, laugh.

So, I'm lovin'  how we are right now & I believe that it will only become better as the time passes. " We are the perfect duo " -Ho Kaiwen. You're a blessing, love you!

Boy, were they right about how dashing a man looks in uniform! (; 

TOOLS-DAY: MUMSY'S EARLY BIRTHDAY DINNZ

Cause everyone was kinda busy on Mumsy's actual birthday, so I decided to cook up an early birthday dinnz for her a day before. 

On the menu: prawns aglio olio, salad, mash-potato, bacon bits & honey lemon baked chicken.

I know how hard mummy works every single & still rushes back home just to cook dinnz for us without fail every single day. Even if she has stuff on at night, she preps them in the morning so all we have to do is to heat it up & dinnz is served. I never understood why she does so because it's troublesome, tiring and inconvenient plus it doesn't help that Daddy complains about them. So I wondered, "why bother then?" 

And I found out why. Because all she wants is for us to eat a proper, healthy meal at home because she says that outside food is unhealthy and it is important to eat proper meals. So Monday to Friday, rice, veg, two meat dishes & soup. My mummy's a superhero. 

I always wanted to be able to run up to my mum & give her random hugs or even say " I LOVE YOU MUMMY!" I always dream of Mother-Daughter dates but perhaps because of my family culture, I find it hard to do so. There are so many things I would like to tell her but something stops me from doing so. So, I don't really know how to express my love to her & the only ways I do so is through little actions, thanking her, saying how delicious her food is when my dad makes a fuss (but they are really delicious) etc.

I was really really so happy when I saw a smile on her face when she saw me prepping dinnz half way and when it was all laid out on the table. I nearly teared when she said "thank you for the hard work" hahaha yes, emotional me.

WET-NEST-DAY: PHOTOSHOOT WHOOP WHOOP

Accidental OOTD with Rachel! (:

I finally got the chance to relieve my childhood dream to be a model!!!!! 

Hahaha, I swear I was so darn happy when I got the call, notifying me that I was selected to be part of the photoshoot //nearly died inside

Kekeke, I always wanted to be a model because I L.O.V.E the camera & how I can do all the silly shit on cam and I can snap snap snap! But obviously, in reality I can't because I'm too short. Pffttt. 5 more cm to being eligible to be a model :(

Because I was so stoked for it, I went shopping just to find a nice, bright-coloured, cheerful dress for the shoot! Apparently, my dresses are all dull colours so good excuse to go shopping. And I found the perfect dress, thanks to Kaiwen's sis! Yayyy thank you Jie Jie!

I went into the LT & I was a lil nervous cause I didn't know anyone there and then Rachel stepped into the LT! So glad that I had someone I know throughout the whole shoot with me and it made the entire photoshoot even more fun.

Though we had to wait for a long long long time but I was kinda glad that Rachel & I clicked really well and I got to know alot more about Rachel (: She's one of the more spontaneous, dares to be herself, infectious ball of laughter & happiness person I've met. Thank you for making the photoshoot even more memorable & fun. Best first experience!

THE PROCESS

Initially, we were grouped up randomly for group shots. So luckily Rachel & I were in the same group and we made friends with the other people as well. They were really nice to prepare food for us, hehs. Group shots were relatively easy because it was less awkward taking in a group than a solo picture esp in the middle of Munch where everyone walks pass. Thankfully, the two guys with us were very friendly and funny so we were having fun while shooting.

We had a three hour break before individual shoot and it was just finding stuffs to do to kill time.

Then solo shoots. Though I thought that maybe we would do it in a studio but noooo, they had to pick a corner in Munch to do it and it was so awkward. When it was my turn, the photographer said "Freestyle" and in my mind I was like "whuuutttt" so I just did the poses that I could think of. Hahhaha after awhile, I got comfortable infront of the camera and I started acting really silly! Flipped hair, random poses & it was really fun cause I was laughing 70% of the time! But it was sucha good experience, one thing to check of my list!

Sadly, they said they couldn't email us the photos we took when I asked if they could :( I would honestly want to see them. But oh wells hahahah!

Random shot that Kaiwen took on our way to dinnz! Hahah!

AND THAT'S MY WEEK IN A WALNUT SHELL!
