This is it!

*Yay-ness*

Adrian and I are officially celebrating our 1st year anniversary today =)

Ever since we got together last year today, we have been through so much.

29th August 2005

We first held hands. At around 3pm, in Midvalley after a movie.

Our first movie was, "The Maid". I was never a fan of horror flick and I grabbed Adrian's arm so tight because the movie was really scary. Even though it was painful, Adrian still let me. Sweet.

30th August 2005

We made our first appearance as a couple with friends for Merdeka Eve Celebration in Atrium Cafe, Sunway Pyramid Hotel.

This was the day when I was given the cold treatment from a person whom I thought was a friend, whom I thought would be mature enough to comprehend the situation. I was wrong.

Adrian and I had to take in so much from this person on that particular night because he was practically ignorant and was showing face the whole night.

Friends who are unaware of the story too notice the difference in his behavior. In the end, I was approached by mutual friends to apologize to him, asking me to take into consideration of moodswings that could happen to designer. I was told that I should just make the first move, for the sake of getting things better.

I refused. Because I believed I did not do anything wrong. I had my choice. Furthermore, I made things clear right before it can go any further. I cannot be blamed if he chose to continue.

In the end, I was accused of playing around with his feelings and was said that I owed him an explaination.

I was speechless.

8 October 2005

We celebrated our first month anniversary and I blogged about it. It was 1 month 9 days. It was something Adrian and I was really happy about. When we first got together, many people have doubts about us.

His *evil* ex-girlfriend asked, "How come you like Chris? She is not pretty also.."

A mutual friend, closer to him asked, "You sure about this? Somehow I never really imagine you two together lo-r.."

So by celebrating our first month anniversary, we want to show others that we are serious about it and we will make it work. It wasn't until I read something in his blog that I was terribly disappointed.

P/s: and oh, a little bit more than a month is nothing, try years. ;)

He did not mention who but this post was published on the same day, 8th October 2005. I certainly hoped it was just coincidence but I was not very convinced.

29th August 2006

Today, Adrian and I celebrate our 1st year anniversary. It means a lot to us because it is the day we can prove to others that we are truly in love for a healthy, strong and long-lasting relationship. We will work it out and we will make sure that we do. We want to shut the mouths of others who were previously skeptical about us. That includes *YOU*.

My Adrian is like a young, cheerful and energetic little boy's spirit trapped in an adult body. His ability to be at his cutest everytime and everywhere, with his curiosity towards many things and being fascinated by small little stuffs, alongside with his witty comments and sarcastic remarks; though sometimes makes me mad, but sometimes makes me laugh out loud..

He is extremely adorable, sometimes makes me feel like I'm the mother to this young little boy. He loves fast food like a 5 year old kid and likes toys especially The Transformers. He has never failed to make me smile with his smile because he look absolutely lovable with his smile. I could stare at him forever..

Even though he is sometimes like a kid, he is still the man in my heart.

I love him for his ways of making me laugh. His many facial expressions and sometimes silly ways of saying things make me adore him even more. He always cheer up my day, just by his presence. Even though there are times that he may say the wrong things or do the wrong things when trying to cheer me, but his presence alone make me feel secured, loved and pampered.

He makes me smile, he makes me laugh. He is my clown.

He loves me and cares a lot about me. That's why he always..

"You don't bathe so late la, later fong shap then you know!"
"You don't eat so much maggi mee la, not good wan la..."
"Why you never take care of yourself wan. How are you going to take care of me later?"
"You listen to me can or not? I talk talk talk also no use wan. Dowan to talk already la.."
"NAh, see! You never listen to me wan. Told you to bathe before 10, what time is it now?"
"Good girl la can or not? Listen to me la ok?"


Finally, something that shouldn't be left out at all. That is his passion and ultimate talent in karaoke! He can totally sing and I love every bit of it..

Happy 1st Anniversary, silly smart boy!

I love you.

Morning Walk

That's right! I just came back from my morning walk. LOL. Rather an early one.

I was just chatting with Reon and SueShen on MSN when my brother messaged me. We chatted a while on MSN before he asked if I wanted to go KimGary for French Toast and back.

I was shocked! It was about 1:16am when he asked me. I was bored to death and wasn't quite sleepy yet so I agreed.

I changed and then we walked to KimGary.

Yes.

We. Walked. To. Kim. Gary.

Oh! I'm staying in Sunway by the way.

It took us about 10 minutes to reach KimGary. Along the way, the streets were extremely quiet! Unlike the usual days where cars can still be seen on the roads at this hour. Today is just exceptionally quiet.

It kinds of reminded me of those days when Sunway wasn't as developed as how it is today.

It reminded me to the year when LDP highway wasn't built and we still have the Guard House; which has been replaced by the never ending stretch of LDP highway now.

It reminded to those times when we used to sit on the road at about 10pm where no cars will even pass by that road. We could sit on the road for 10 minutes and not get a scratch. Now, crossing that part of the road needs extra caution.

We reached KimGary, ordered our French Toast and Peanut Butter Waffle.

After a satisfactory supper, we walked back again.

In between that course of eating the french toast, drinking my iced coffee and chit-chatting away, something happened next door, at Flam.

I was sitting facing the main entrance where I can have a clear view of Flam. Suddenly I saw this tall girl in a white top ran out and ran straight towards the main road. Behind her was two guys running after. Then the guy yelled something and went on chasing towards her direction. Quite a lot of people stood up and watched.

Basically, I can't because I was seated inside the restaurant. I don't know what happen.

And I also have to mention that KimGary is refreshingly nice after its recent renovation. Though I don't understand why they chose to use purple as their main theme color but all in all, it looked new and fresh. I like how all the lightings glowed the whole place!

2:26am, need to sleep.

Leaving for Times Square tomorrow morning at 11am with David to check out some watch prices. Weird, he collects all sort of things. He used to collect cigars, then now liquors and he has a few watches. And about to add another one.

Mom just bought another bottle adding to his collection of liquors when she came back from China recently.

So far from what I remember, he has all the Johnnie Walkers, except for JW Swing. Black Label, Blue Label, Red Label, Gold Label and Green Label. One bottle of Vodka. And recently, mom bought the Royal Salute Ruby Flagon.

"Three more to go," he explained towards his Chivas collection.

*Shrugs*

* I want them back! *

I want my lip treatment balm, lipstick and lip gloss back!

I've been looking all over for them but I can't seem to find it. Urgh..

The last I used it was during FHM Beach Party and now they're gone. The worst is they're still quite new! Not even half used..

My cooling mentholatum treatment balm, Maybelline color shine lipstick and sweet Lancome Juicy Tube lip gloss..

Sigh.. How? How? I also don't know..

Speaking of FHM Beach Party. It was quite some time ago and I didn't blog about it because I have no pictures to blog about. I know, stupid right! How can I go to FHM Beach Party where Hannah Tan *hear screams..* will be around and I have no camera to take pictures!

Sigh..

Double sigh!!

Actually I told Grace to get the camera from her friend because mom took David's to China. Grace eventually got it because I wanted to use it for my assignment as well. By the time I got back from college around 6pm and asked Grace about the camera, all she told me was,

"Oh, got ah~ It's here.. But no battery wor.."

I was starting to get excited when I heard she got it, but the later part of her respond left me standing there, blank, speechless and, DAMN POTONG STEAM!

It took me awhile to finally gain my consciousness before I went to get ready. So that's why I went and back without any post and photos of it.

But anyhow, that party wasn't great in the first place to deserve any write up. It was held in Sunway Lagoon Surf Beach and mind you, not even half the place was filled with people. We went in about an hour late and we still have the goodie bag. In fact, when we left, there were still plenty of them!

The hosts of the night was Fly Guy and another girl from Fly FM who didn't really do a great job to spice up the event. Fly Guy practically read from the script in his hand. In between, there were a few odd moments of silence because the girls weren't ready and they came up with the lamest thing ever to say or joke about.

Plus point is, the music were good. Adrian told me it was some DJ from Maison. I won't know who he is but he's good. I actually liked the music.

Well in conclusion, it wasn't anything great, or even good to say about the event. It started late and it ended early. By the time it ended, everyone left. They don't even want to stay to dance to the music and slowly they wrapped up the whole thing.

Hannah Tan was there. She was in white, top to bottom with a hat too. But her makeup was a tad too heavy and she looked like she need a good night sleep. Her eye bags were enough to fill the whole Sunway Lagoon ok.

Guys were swimming towards her to get pictures and those guys were so HUNGRY for her. They tried to hug her waist and shoulder and anywhere else, Hannah just moved their hands away, said No and move in her head to take the shot.

So basically her body is like 45degree angled away from the guys while her head is close to the guys.

I just sat there, one table away from her, looking and grinning. HAHA.

I wished I had a camera that day.. Too bad..

It's been a while..

since I last posted anything here. Had quite a few things to take care of, i.e, final examinations and a magazine project that required me to spend hours working on photoshop, illustrator and indesign. I'm a Mass Communication student, planning to major in Marketing Communication and here I'm doing designing stuffs. But anyway, learnt a great deal from this subject. I'm starting to love Illustrator more than Photoshop..haha.

Anyway, now that exams are over and assignments are done, I am finally on the much needed rest. One week. Though not long but sufficient. Registered myself into a staff out-sourcing company and recently they assigned me to a job in Giant USJ where I promote the new Dettol Handwash. Nothing glamorous about the job but it's near to my place and it gives me RM70 a day for 7 hours work.

I started working last Friday over the weekend and that's why I couldn't join Karen for her event. Anyhow, I'm enjoying the work. Firstly because I don't have to pay for the parking, unlike working in MNG One Utama previously, I paid RM17 for the parking on the first day because I couldn't find the staff parking.

Secondly, I get to wear a nice nice lab coat to work and kids are afraid of me. HAHA! They stare at me and called me nurse and doctor. Funny stuff! Also, other promoters there are lovely! They are friendly and talkative. We had great time working at the same section, chatting to pass time and spend time knowing each other during lunch. Besides, other promoters from my agency are as helpful as I never would have imagined!

They helped me with my booth since I'm a first-timer, not knowing anything. They helped me set it up, explained the culture there and etc. I even met a few of my highschool juniors. What a coincident! And oh, I must say this. The "cantin" at Giant USJ serve nice yummy Gong Bo Chicken Rice, prepared by Malays! And they also have delicious Ais Kacang and Cendol.

OMG! When I first had the Ice Kacang, I just went..."Urrh......Ahh....HMmmm..." It was delicious beyond words! I can't even write how it taste like now, just superb. Oh, they put Sarsi in Ais Kacang. Weird but taste good. The cendol is even better. I had it for both Saturday and Sunday..haha!

I noticed that I haven't been posting any pictures of myself so I'll have some up later in the post.
Sometime ago, I found this Loreal Hair Dye in David's room so I asked him if he still wants it. He said I can have it. I've been wanting to do something to my hair long time ago but I couldn't because I'm in the process of growing my hair long. Unable to stand the itch, I said, "OK! I'll dye my hair."

I sat on the toilet bowl in my toilet in a T-shirt so full of holes that it is barely wearable out to public, Grace with her hair nicely tied up in a bun and put on the glove, she helped me with the dye. I must say, Grace is extremely lousy with her hands. She had dye all over my face, my neck and my T-shirt. Not only that, some went to the toilet bowl and even the toilet wall. *Swt*

After some time enduring the pain (the dye on my scalp) and wasting loads of tissue getting rid off dye from my face and 30 minutes later, I washed it off and had a nice new hair color. I actually love it!

I don't really remember the color but it's something to do with rose purple brown. Sounds pretty right? hahaha..

Can see the color from this pic? I think it's kinda obvious and I really liked how the color turns out.

Few weeks ago on a Sunday, Adrian and I went to The Curve after church because I wanted to visit the flea market there and RedBox again with my boy. That outing was one that was after a while since I last meet Adrian so we had a great time.

Adrian was playing around with the camera I loaned from Grace's friend for my assignment and he basically kept snapping candid pictures of me. This was taken when he called my name from side while I was getting something out of my sling bag. I saw him holding the camera and I made a face. Didn't know he took it just then.

Anyhow, I kinda like how it turned out and apparently Adrian love this picture so much he printed it so he can put it in his room. Sweeet =)

Basically I was there for a mission! I recently trimmed my hair off the dead ends so it's a bit shorter now. It looks weird in a ponytail so I always tied it up in a small bun and was hoping to find something to accessorize it. Then I realize how fashionable is it nowadays to have flowers on the hair, you know those flower hairclips and pins. I didn't want the usual orchid design so I was out for something special.

I was looking all over for it and while doing that, we came across some other stuffs that caught our attention.

Adrian was totally attracted to this battery operated mini-fan. He's like a kiddo sometimes, easily fascinated by the smallest thing in the world. There were other aunties looking at it and I was about to leave when he held my hand and the other hand squeezed through all the "barriers" and took one out to examine.

He would just turned it on, blow the fan at himself and then turned it off. Then he would turned to me and tell me how cool is that thing. He even looked for other designs and enquired about the price. That look and smile on his face was like a still moment to me. Cute!

After I found what I was looking for and paid 10 bucks for it, we left for RedBox on the upper floor. After that I was craving for some rojak and cendol so Adrian brought me to the stall opposite Taman Bahagia LRT station. And once again, Adrian showcased his ultimate talent to be awfully cute!

Oh sigh, I'm falling in love with that smile, again.

And that thing I was looking all over for and finally paid 10 bucks for it...

Was this!

Adrian couldn't quite get used to it even though he was the one who decided on this one. I really love it! It can spice up my whole outfit and add something to my boring hair.

While taking this photo, I took another one mistakenly without flash. BUT! The result came out great. I love it too!

And damn Kenny (not Sia, no no, definitely not) have to go sarcastically ask me if that picture is a horse; implying my long neck. HMPH!

On the sidenote, a vain picture of the recent me.

Grace recently and FINALLY cut her ass-long hair into a much younger layered cut with a fringe. She was worried how it might turn out but after starting classes in Sunway for her Diploma in Performing Arts, she has been getting compliments from friends and classmates about how nice she look with this hairstyle.

Now looking at her hair and looking at some hairstyles magazine, I can't help but miss my waist length hair back then.

And I also miss my weight back THEN. I was just complaining to Reon about it and he somehow got numbed to it since all girls complained about it. Sigh!

That's about it! I really should be in bed by now. Sorry babe! Don't scold me. Love you, hehe.

Yikes!

She scared the shit out of me! My mom, that is.

She came home about 11:30pm just now and I had to move my car out so she can park her car in the house. When I was done with the parking I came back and was standing at the garden looking at my brother playing with the dog, Brownie. *We should have named him better!*

Then when I looked into mom's car window, I saw two hands. When I turned and tried to take a better look, mom turned her head to me, so slooooowly!

I jumped, squeaked and shrieked! I even covered my ears, I don't know why.

Apparently mom was sitting inside her car, still talking on the phone. Then David started laughing and my mom started laughing.

Darn!

I have always been easily scared by, many many things. I cannot watch horror movies. I cannot see closed-up shots of reptiles. And most of all, I cannot stand things that suddenly pop up in front of my eyes.

After few times watching horror movies with Adrian, he declared he will never watch another one with me. Why?

Because I was so scared I squeezed his arm too tightly, it hurts. Besides, he said it's a waste of money to go to the cinema because I covered my eyes all the time, sometimes even my ears because it's the sound effects that are scary.

Closed-up shots of reptiles in magazines send goosebumps and shivers down my spine. I hate it! Reptiles, any sort of reptiles especially snakes. Huiyorrr! Also, frogs! Though some photos of frogs have brilliant colors but the thought of the frog being all slimy, watery and cold-blooded...urgh!

Pop-ups. Ha!

David always do that to me! I still remember there was this one time I was about to leave my room and was already at my door. Then David, also at his room's door, just next to me suddenly came and "Boo!".

Geeeez, I tell you! My reaction got him laughing like nobody's business.

I screamed, squatted down and covered my ears. I was scared so badly I started tearing then later laughing. Mess.

Spent 3 hours in the afternoon at Redbox Karaoke with David and Grace. Our first outing together since David came back from UK.

It was fun!

I do not usually sing in karaoke sessions with friends previously because I thought I sounded awful. I only dared sing with a microphone with closed ones, like family and Adrian.

Since Adrian is also another kaki-karaoke, we've made a number of trips to Redbox that I am slowly gaining confidence in my voice, though just a tiny bit.

Today I finally got to sing a few mandarin duet songs with David. There are fews songs that I really like but I can't duet with Adrian since he can't read mandarin characters. Besides, Adrian is so unique that he's into Oldies! Evergreen songs. I love them!

***

Was writing on an article about AIDS that will be published in the University Magazine. This is one of our assignments in Design & Layout class. Since there are only 3 of us in the class, we work this project as a group. Small group, I like.

Previous semesters the seniors were only required to do the layout. Text could be anything so it was kinda easy. However this time, the lecturer has given us the opportunity to practice what we have learnt in journalism (not that we've learnt much) into this project. So we have to write the article and at the same time do the design and layout of the 4 pages spread.

I wrote the introduction part few days ago but it wasn't good enough for my lecturer so I started again today. Read a few magazines a couple of days ago to see how journalists write, for real. I certainly do not wish my article to start sounding like I'm blogging. Though sometimes quite hard to set a margin as to how I should blog and how I should write for proper.

Well, will learn to manage that.

***

Just put the white wine into the fridge. I've been wanting to drink that bottle since Aunt gave it to us. So today will be the day. Shall have a glass before I sleep.

***

Haven't seen Adrian for a few days. Missed him. Soon enough we'll be celebrating our first year anniversary. Tsk tsk tsk.. I'll have to sigh just how fast time flies. Some memories about our relationship, carved by other onto us, though bad still vividly stored in my brain.

Sometimes it is not by choice that I want to remember bad memories. It is so that I just cannot forget it. Though I may have forgiven the person who made that memory, but it has not been forgotten. Sometimes a person you thought was a friend did something so hurtful to you, you'll keep wondering why has he/she done it in the first place.

Oh well, memories make life a better and colorful one. Black is also a color. Black memories will show the significance of those bright colored memories.

***

Off to the wine and my bed.
Oh great! It's raining..
Puuur-Fect for a good night sleep.

Night..

Suey!

Damn! Very suey today..sigh!

Had a freaky weird dream that woke me up in the morning. The dream was about my bf's mom suddenly being my mom. I brought my bf back to "my mom" and she questioned him about all those usual stuffs. Suddenly "my mom" ask him to take the joss stick and pray to the ancestors.

WTF!

Seriously freaky and impossible. Dreams.. tsk tsk tsk.

I cut my finger while trying to plug in the hair dryer. There was a glass behind Grace's bed where the plug is. It was some old table glass that we didn't need anymore and we wrapped it up with newspaper and leave it there. So when I tried to reach my hand down to plug the hair dryer, I scratched my finger at the corner of the glass.

OUCH! It didn't bleed much but it wouldn't stop. I mean it's not like big pool of blood but just bit and bit on the wound. Even until now I can still see redish on the wound. Painful la~

I had to hold my steering wheel with my finger stuck out in the air. I couldn't even hold a tight grasp on the steering. I can't even hold my pen properly. Grr..

As though not suey enough..

I was half way to college and I realized I forgot to bring my phone! If it was other ordinary day I would have went on straight to college but not today! My faculty's association is organizing a talk by the U.S. Embassy on J1 and student Visa and I really need my phone. Sigh.

I had to turn back, took my phone and went all the way to college again. When I reached home to take my phone, my brother told me it rang quite a number of times. See!

There's a magical fairy story showing on Hallmark now and I'm really distracted! Besides, David changed our old mouse to a brand new wireless optical mouse which is so small it wasn't nice to hold. I cannot imagine doing work with this mouse.

Meeting Guess's Ben later in Sunway. Haven't seen him for ages..

My finger is still aching!

Had a damn busy week and another busy one ahead. Loads of assignment with finals just around the corner. I'm so stressed out and so so lack of proper sleeeeep!

Cannot wait for this semester to end. It's a crazy one...

++++++++++ Update ++++++++++

Got home after meeting Ben in Starbucks. Haven't been into Starbucks for God-knows-how-long.. Switched to Uncle Lim ever since it was opened in Sunway, lol. Love their Roti Bakar!

Upon ordering my Iced Chocolate, the barrista asked, "Can I ask you a question? Are you a model?"

LOL!

Should feel damn happy right? Haha! I answered, "No." with a smile =)

Anyway! Was drawing in my sketch book while talking to Ben. The sketch book is required as an assignment for my visual communication subject. Said to be as a visual journal so I sort of draw everything and anything in it. I even plain conteng.. Like small kid trying to draw or a right handed person drawing with left hand sort of thing.

Ben and I debated over Lampe Berger. I knew we're going to talk about it somehow since he's into that "business".

I'm putting it in inverted commas because I seriously do not think LB is a business but yet people go around calling themselves businessmen and business women just because they are in it. I'm not strongly against LB but I'm not very fond of it either.

Just too many people into the LB pool. Feels as though when I throw one stone at a group of 10 people, 8 out of 10 are from LB. Kinda sickening! Especially when they go around in tailored suits carrying that aroma therapy jar thingie.

Oh the craze of Lampe Berger...
