ROM Wedding Bands

2011-11-22T21:48:00.004+08:00

Wedding Bands for our ROM since 2008
Decided to trade them for a new pair of rings
Doesn't really feel sad by letting them go

Now waiting patiently for the new rings to arrive
As the store needs to resize the ring and repolishing for both

I used to be a ring size 7 now went down to 6,

You thought I'm suffering some weight loss....

BUT Noooooooo.......

Body weight increase lor *WTH!*

And so we are ringless at the time being
Hubby felt weird of not wearing them
'Cause he likes to turn it round his finger and when he does that action,

means he's thinking of me :))

Ampoule - Vitamin C to the Skin

2011-11-20T00:57:00.005+08:00

Lately I've been looking for ampoules as a makeup base

Need them for my Pre-wedding Photo shoot

For some of you who doesn't know, makeup artist charges $25 per vail

Online shops selling only @ $5 (lowest price) per vail

Say what!!!

Yup, it's better to source them yourself

Last week, my colleague told me our company's bazaar is selling ampoules

Went to the bazaar just in time

The store lady was starting to pack up her stuff

But she's sweet, still willing to entertain me patiently

and I got what I wanted

Bought a box of 10 vials

@ only 29 bucks!!!

damn cheap :))

The extras can double up as skin care routine

might get more if it improves my skin :)

DND 2011

2011-11-17T22:21:00.007+08:00

It's been ages since my last entry...

Not so sure if anyone still pays a little visit...

Well..., will be more hardworking in blogging from now on (I guess ha!)

Last Satuarday was my company's DND

Went to trim my hair and also decided to style it

'Cause damn bored of my straight hair

Thought I don't suit wavy hair...But it turns out great!

Love the curls my hair stylist did for me :)))

They even gave me $10 discount off the bills hehehe...

That's my company's DND invitation

Super Cute right!

The Team is round the world... Lostsa people dress up for the Dinner.

The Best dressed winner can walk away with Ipad 2 ok!

And so, our team for the day was dressed as (drum roll....)

Singaporean! lol...

This was what I wore for the DND

Tube dress from F21, bought it from USA

Wore a Black mesh Tank top underneath the dress

together with butterfly belt from taiwan

and finish off with a white rose hair clip

Of course none of us are the winner

But at least I didn't went home empty handed

I won a $20 voucher from the lucky draw Woohoo...

Better than nothing can!

Loving my hair to the Max!

Me gotten lotsa praise that night hehehe...

Make me so tempted to perm my hair ley

Alone no more, 'cause I'm home!

2010-08-12T18:39:00.017+08:00

The previous day, when Dear Dear was on guard duty...

It's the very 1st time that I didn't cry, beg him to stay or even whine...

It's not that I can't live without him for just being away for one, tiny single day...

In fact, I could be left all alone during the day and would find entertainment to occupy myself...

But I'm scared of being all alone at night...

That's how I felt when I'm staying in the States...

Especially, when it comes to night time..

I'm all alone in the empty house...

When suddenly, the world seems like I'm the only person living on this planet...

The darkness, the quietness and the loneliness starts to creep me...

I would kept on looking at the time, counting down all the minutes and seconds that passed by of him coming home...

I would tried to exhaust myself by staying up super super late, till I can't open up my eyes...

I would even place the boster under the blanket and pretend that was Dear Dear laying next to me...(I know that's was very silly of me LOL...)

Well, all those days and feelings were long gone now...

'Cause I'm back home... back to Singapore and back to my family...

Having sweet sugary dreams even when Dear Dear's not with me...

'Cause I know...

I'm no longer alone :)

That Creepy time of the Year

2010-08-10T20:19:00.004+08:00

It's that time of the year again...

and the creepy feeling is back...

With all the ashes flying around...

Must really watch my steps!

Chloe has been super busy

2010-07-16T23:18:00.005+08:00

I know it has been a while yet again...

Have just started on a new job...

Simply love the location of my work place to bits :)

And so... Will not have the luxury to blog as much :(

Plus after 2 months of 'almost driving me nuts' waiting... All my 55 boxes will be arriving by tomorrow!

*WooHoo*

Will be crazy cum extremely cum absolutely busy will all the unpacking...

Can't wait to see all my bags, clothes, shoes etc etc...

Espeically our lovely bed heeheehee...

Poor Dear Dear have been sleeping on the floor for months now...

But do drop by once in a while to catch up on me ok?

*Wink*

With Love,

Chloe

Wishing and Hoping and Praying...

2010-06-11T23:18:00.006+08:00

I'm wishing that money will fall from the sky so that I could tick off all my "Must-Do and Must-Get list"...

I'm hoping to fly back to the States soon so as to end the boring life in Singapore... (Sorry, but for now I still think the grass is greener on the other side ;p)

I'm also praying that I could get a job asap so as not to feel so useless of not contributing to my family or to the society...

So I'm wishing and hoping and praying really haaaaaaard...

"Falling In Love Again" With Mos Burger!

2010-06-06T19:14:00.017+08:00

*Note: Please play the video and enjoy! XOXO*

"I'm so tired
Of falling in love
Finding it easier
To fall out
I can't deny it
I feel it inside
I'll keep it's fire
You can't hide"

"I'm falling in love again
Ain't nothing I can do
Falling in love again
This time is with you
When I fall
It's always the same
And I'm so tired
Of playing this game"

"It's been so long now
Since I gave up my heart
I've kept it locked down
I don't wanna get it harmed
So let me tell you now
I just wanna be sure
That you won't hurt me
Can you promise me that?"

"I'm falling in love again
Ain't nothing I can do
Falling in love again, girl
This time is with you
When I fall
It's always the same
And I'm so tired
Of playing this game"

"Got to tell me if you're gonna break my heart
If you don't wanna take the chance
And if it ain't true, all it's gonna be
It's nothing but a poor romance
So, give me that promise to hold on now
I'll never let you go
I've got to have something go on, oh
Then you know now"

"I'm falling in love again
Ain't nothing I can do
Falling in love again, girl
This time is with you
When I fall
It's always the same
And I'm so tired
Of playing this game, yeah

(Falling in love again)
Falling in love again
(Falling in love again)
Falling in love again
(Falling in love again)
Falling in love again
(Falling in love again)"

Living in Pain

2010-06-04T22:22:00.002+08:00

Pain is all I could feel right now...

The heat and the polluted air in Singapore only leads me to bad headaches and migraines...

Have been popping down countless pain killers for days...

Am I going to live like this from now on?!

Pain... pain... Please go away!

Today is an Enjoyable Day

2010-06-01T21:28:00.013+08:00

Ok, I know I've have been complaining alot lately... Well, can you blame me for being a woman (especially during PMS) and I'm just another typical Singaporean that likes to complaint too hehehe...
So I'm going to blog about something positive today :)

For the past few days (since last Friday), we have spent 80% of our time staying at home...
Instead of squeezing, bumping and smelling sweats of overly crowded people, I rather stay home spending more time with our families...
Oh~ another benefits of not going out means my money is still save 'living' in my wallets hehehe...

But for today, Dear Dear had practically 'drag' me out to the malls... Telling me staying at home the whole time isn't healthy at all.

Oh well~ he's right in a way...

Our 1st stop was to Singtel shop wanting to renew our cell phone plans and also to get new phones...

Can you believe it?! Just only 2 years and our current cell phones had already became antiques! Technology nowadays are so hard to keep up... *sighing*
We have a pleasant time in Singtel even though we didn't get what we wanted. The customer service girl was very patience and nice (thumbs up for her service)...

Seeing us having a hard time choosing a cell, She informed us that there will be a promotion going on from June 11th - 13th and we might get good deals then.

She even gave us her number so that we will not have to queue up for our next trip to the Singtel store :)

Next stop, we had Sakae Sushi for dinner...

It has been a while since we had cheap Japanese food! Japanese food in the States are soooooooo Pricey!

Sakae now have more varieties on their choice of sushi, but I'm very disappointed in their Chawanmushi though... Pretty much tasteless :( *shaking head*

We walked pass an arcade and Dear Dear wanted to get me a stuff toy from the claw crane...

You know we used to spent tons on money on these thing...

Dear Dear love the sensation/thrill of winning it, especially when we won it with little amount of money...

And of course Dear Dear did won me something yet again...

Isn't it cute?! A black bunny added to our collection... The best part was, we only got it for a dollar! *WooHoo!*

Before walking back home hand in hand, I was craving for bubble milk tea... I hardly ever drink them for the past 2 years 'cause guess what! Bubble milk tea can cost up to almost USD$4 in the States ok!
Now I could drink it till I drop!

Our Stomachs were growling again once we had reached home *teehehehe* Dear Dear went out to get McNuggets from MacDonald's together with..... Curry Sauce! Nuggets with curry sauce = heavenly!

There's one thing we've learnt for sure when we were away to the States was to appreciate local food!

They'll always be the best gourmet in the world!

Life is so Fragile

2010-05-31T22:30:00.009+08:00

My BFF's father just passed away a couple of days ago...

Went to attend the funeral wake in the noon...

And when I saw her the very 1st time since the pass 2 years, she looked real tired and sad...

I gave her a hug and we both cried...

I know she must be devastated by the lost of her father...

But she still managed to give me a smile... she must be glad to see me again :) At least I know I am...

Dear Dear told me that our friend Daniel might need to go under the knife... Now awaiting for the medical report to be out...

I'm praying really hard that everything will turn out fine...

"Life Is So Fragile"

I never truly understand the meaning of that phase...

I think somehow I understand it now, and I hate those 4words (will) turn out to be true...

Does it have to be this way in order for us to learn on how to cherish and appreciate everything around us?

Not Used to Everything!

2010-05-29T12:21:00.000+08:00

I'm not used to the hot and humid weather! Whole body feel so sticky, my face turns so oily and my body is so dehydrated! Friends and family are worried that I'm not used to it and they are 100% right on that! I hate the weather to the max!!! @%$#^&%$@@%

I'm not used to people giving me weird cold stares, as if I come from outer space! Those STARES really makes me wanna to have invisibility power, so that I can kick some ass and poke some eyes out for staring! Muhahahaha!

I'm not used to the auto flush toilet bowl as it kept on flushing every minute! I can't take my own sweet time doing my "business", it's like Singaporean with only one minute worth of patience! Sorry to use that as an example but it's god damn TRUE!

I'm not used to the fast walking speed! It's like everyone is always rushing off to somewhere!

I'm not used to the crowd! Everywhere you turn is always full of people! Where is my own personal space!

I'm even not used to the food portion here! Well, I'm not a big eater and the food portion is just right for me that I could finish up everything in my plate. Why am I complaining? Well, I've absolutely no idea too!

I'm not used to the Singlish! It does not felt merry to the ears. Singaporean should start waking up and speak proper English!!!

I'm not used to the timing! It should be night time in Dallas and not day time. I should be sleeping right now! And it should be the 28th instead 29th of May!

I'm not used to watch Singapore's chinese channel! I find it so lame...

I'm not used to SMSing! I'm so slow on that now :(

I'm not used to the small house! Where is my walk-in closet?! Where is my bathroom with 2 basins and big bathtub?! Where is my spacious bed room that I could place 3 queen size bed and there are still space to dance around?! Where is my balcony?! I missed my ST Marin apartment so much!

I'm not used to the small road! The EPR, the small parking lot and the car coupon!

I'm not used to take buses or MRT! I miss my old Toyota Camry!

I'm not used to being stop by some promoter or sale person for almost every other 5 minutes at the interchange! I'm not interested in your products ok! So stop bugging me!!!

I'm not used to people having the black faces as if I have own them one million dollars! Where are the smiles and the friendliness gone too?! Come to think of it, I think it does not even exist in the 1st place!

I'm not used to the price tag and dinning that are already have taxes included! Ok, don't get me wrong on that one, it's a good thing :)

And countless more of not being used to...

I kept on "physco-ing" myself that I'll get used to everything sooner or later, just like I have in the pass 24 years of my life before moving to Dallas...

But... But... BUT! Why is there a voice that kept on screaming something else?!

Back to where I belong

2010-05-28T03:44:00.000+08:00

Hallo Singapore! I'm back!!!

The long hours flight almost "killed" me!
Did 2 transiting, 3 take offs and 3 touch downs in total...
But we did a stop over at San Fransisco for our 4 days tours...
If not we'll be flying 22 hrs non-stop...
I know mad crazy right?! Stuck in a small seating in a plane isn't fun at all...

Just for the memories:
From Dallas to San Fransisco 3 hrs flight,
Stop over at SF for our 4 days tour...
Then it was 12 hrs flight from SF to Korea, and have to wait for 1 1/2 before departure...
And it was another 5 1/2 hrs from Korea to Singapore...

We touch down at about 12.30am (Singapore time), May 28 2010
Daniel and Fabian were there to pick us up... So sweet of them :)
And hot humid weather was there to welcome us as well... Darn the weather!!!

My Last Day in Dallas 2010

2010-05-23T14:08:00.000+08:00

Woke up super early this morning...

Went Back to our Apartment at St Marin to turn in out keys...

Gotten a one last tour around our apartment cum photo taking session of it...

And we rush off to Grapevine, Galleria and Allen outlet within 6 hours to do our shopping spree!

I had never browsed through the clothes so quickly before in my life... Totally feel like crazy a woman!

Luckily didn't bought alot of stuff...

If not our suit case will definitely be over weight hehehe...

But how come I still feel that there's still things that I needed to buy?

Energy Booster

2010-05-23T11:47:00.000+08:00

Having my tasty waffles (at Staybridge) that shapes like a Texas map really brightens up my morning...

All gear up to do my last day of shopping in Dallas!

No time to lose now!

Before Departing Dallas...

2010-05-22T14:29:00.000+08:00

This whole week had happen alot of things...

Too much that it left me feeling with confusion, sadness, emptiness and drained out...

I've given away my beloved pet rabbit, Chocolate Chips...

Since that day, I've practically cried myself to sleep...

I really missed her lots...

But I've finally found her a loving home...

May god bless their kind hearted soul for adopting her...

Have been doing last min packing before the collection of our carton boxes...

Didn't slept through the night before!

Have been packing for 8 hrs non-stop...

From night till the day breaks in and till the cargo man came for the collection at around 9am...

All 55 boxes in total...

Will be shipping them back to my in-law's house, so hope they will not freak out when the boxes have arrive hehehe...

After the boxes had gone, it's time to clean and clear our apartment, all by OURSELVES! *Proud*

Gosh! Can you believed that just within 2 yrs of living we had actually "grow" (Dear Dear used that word to replace 'creates' LOL...) alot of rubbish in the house!?

It's like never ending!

Dear Dear said that our stuff seems like it will grow out creepily by itself! LOL...

And so we have used up 1 1/2 days to do the cleaning and clearing...

And now the house is super sparkling clean!

Have the house walk through today with no penalty... *Applause*

Now we've moved into Staybridge suite 3 days before our departure...

Even thought this suite is by far the best I've ever stayed in, but still I miss my St Marin apartment even more!!!

My heart will ache so much when handing over the keys back to the leasing office tomorrow...

*Sighing*

Have to go sleep le...

Tomorrow super duper busy...

Need to do my last shopping spree!

My Heart is Aching

2010-05-17T23:45:00.000+08:00

Here I'm writing this with gigantic tears rolling down from my eyes...
I'm missing her so much...
I try to let go, but I couldn't...
My heart is aching...
Why is it always so hard to say goodbyes...

Feeling Lousy... Hates Hates Hates!!!

2010-05-11T01:51:00.000+08:00

I'm feeling super duper lousy since yesterday...
Not everything seems to what I've expected and going my way...
And I don't quite care if I have hurt a kind hearted lady on mothers day... I trusted my guts!
I hate being treated transparent when I needed help!
I hate to do packing as this reminds me I'll be flying back home in 2 weeks time!
I hate people giving me tons of excuses and have last mintue changes!
My face is full of breakouts and I hated it!
I also hates the crazy weather in Dallas right now!
I hate these sucky feelings and I hate feeling the way I'm feeling right now!

A Day in Northpark Mall

2010-05-04T00:53:00.000+08:00

Saturday was a Northpark shopping mall day...

Our 1st stop was to Half Price Book store to sell away our unwanted magazines, and have earn a few bucks from that... Just enough to buy one decent meal hahaha...

While waiting for our magazines to be evaluated, we went to our fav clearance section and a book got my attention...

Chick-Fil-A!

It's has been autograph by the owner of Chick-Fil-A, but why would someone bother to get an autograph and then sell it away?! *scratching head*

Anyways, I've got bored after just reading 2 sentences hehehe... (thought I could find some house recipes in it *disappointed*)

Going to miss Chick-fil-a (America's fast food restaurant) like CRAZY!

They serve the BEST chicken burger in the world wide world okies!

DO NOT give this a miss if you happen to pass by it... Trust me you will fall in love with it from just one single bite...*Tender!Juicy!Crispy*

Then it was Northpark shopping mall...

Finally, I've gotten my tour of the whole mall...

Not sure why we always got there when it's store closing time *Shrugging*

And we've just realise that there's Urban Outfitters...

Omg... their stuff are really expensive lor, even those on sale too :(

Good thing I'm not a big fan of their clothing *Phew*

But I like their home decors... From cute to extreme stuff, like F***!

Beer Helmet...

Hey Mister, you look very familiar...

It's Marshmallow man! Such a happy ghost :)
I REALLY love these... Wish-list advisory tags!

I WANT THIS
LOVE THESE
BUY THIS
AND THIS
YES PLEASE

These will always comes in handy!

So tempting to get one of it you know... But I don't wanna give my Dear Dear a heart attack LOL...

I might get addicted with tagging everything in sight! *Teehehehe*

And of course, I didn't walked out the store empty handed... Gotten a good quality skinny belt that was on sale :)

*Whipped out my closet collection list and mark a huge tick in the check box*

We walked pass a movie theater and Dear Dear wanna to catch a show...

We decided on "How to train your dragon".

And it's the most expensive movie we ever watch (USD$15!), 'cause it's in 3D...

A very cute and funny movie that ends with a happy ending :) I Love happy endings!

Our super cool 3D glasses, which ended up in the recycle bin right after the movie...

Thought I'll go all dizzy after watching the 3D movie, so glad that I came out feeling ok...

Might wanna go for a 2nd 3D movie in the future :)

2nd Anni Celebration

2010-04-23T11:44:00.000+08:00

Mem... How was our 2nd year of wedding anniversary?

Much better than last year I would say...

'Cause we didn't even celebrated it...

So to make it up for last year...

Have gotten a surprise gift for Dear Dear that he always wanted for a very looooooong time...

Carefully hidden the nicely wrapped present under the blanket just before bedtime :)

And surprise SURPRISE!

The wrapping paper very familiar right?! Yup, it's the free tissue from VS lor hehehe...

Ipod for my love :)))

He was glued to it ever since then...

For the following Saturday, we dressed up for dinner at Gaylord Resort...

We wore matching shoes :)

I wore my fav heels and its the same heels that I've worn during our ROM...

I hardly ever wore them and they are still in good condition after 2 years...

Really love the dry weather in USA :)))

At Gaylord Resort...

We also wore matching clothes too hehehe...

Gaylord Resort is like sneak preview of San Antonio, one of the best attraction in Texas...

And you will be spoilt by the numbers of restaurant to choose from...

Wanted to have dinner at Ama Lur as they served the best cod fish, but too bad the waiting queue was too long and we were starving...

And so we ended up having buffet at River Walk restaurant...

Dear Dear having his New York Strip....

Love my Burberry cashmere hehehe...

The restaurant served really good Alaska crab... *yum yum*

And as always the deshelling part is all done by Dear Dear... *applause*

I have plates after plates and after plates of crabs, I then have to beg Dear Dear for a forth plate ;p

I know I know... my cholesterol is shooting sky up...

But how can I resist good food *Teehehehe*

Butterfly biscuits -cute!

That man in the black suit was amusing the diners with his magic trick...

Not only the restaurant provided food but also entertainment... Not bad not bad...

Cheers to us!

I've got present from Dear Dear too :)))

Sony pink laptop! The whole laptop is all covered with pink except for the keypads - so super cute!

And it surprisingly comes with a Sony camcorder for free! *yipee*

My Guardian Angel

2010-03-31T11:25:00.000+08:00

Hallooooo!!!

It's been a while since I've updated my blog.... So did anyone miss me? *give cheeky smile*

Oh anyways... I've good news :)))

Yesterday, went to collect our annual health medical report...

And both our results are amazingly good!

Especially our cholesterol level... Damn good!!! *Applause*

But all except for my white blood cells... it's abit lower than average :(

Oh~ Even my heart is doing pretty well too :)))

I've a history of heart problems since I was like really really young, about 6 years old...

And I've been in and out of the hospital almost every month since then :(

Can't tell right... Me look so healthy on the outside.

But I didn't follow up with my doctors in Singapore for more then a decade le...

I have doctors phobia ok!

And I had my EKG done yesterday, to know the condition of my heart...

Doctor said that my heart is looking good, but still need to be monitored...

Sucha good news to us!

Dear Dear was real happy and relieve to hear that :) He has been worried sick about me...

I'm truly appreciate every single day, every single things and every single person in my life and I thank god for all of that...

I thank him for senting my guardian angel down to care, love and protect me from all odds...

My Guardian Angel . My Soul Mate . My One And Only

I . Love . You

Bvlgari

2010-03-09T04:29:00.000+08:00

Have been wanting to get a brand new wedding band for our customary wedding...

I've not been wearing my current wedding band on my wedding finger for the past 1 1/2 years...

'Cause its too big for me now... almost lost it once before :(

I used to be a size 4 but now my finger had shrink to 3.5...

How weird...

Wanting to get Tiffany, but they don't carry/custom made my ring size...

And Cartier charge extra for custom made ring, but I used lesser material ley... So not fair!

Yesterday, we've found a perfect ring at last!

Bvlgari!!!

Not only do they carry 3.5 ring size, they don't even charge anything extra for the shipment :)

Apparently, they have to order it for me from Italy...

All we have to do now is to wait patiently for 3-4 weeks for it to arrive...

4-band ring in white gold is what Dear Dear had chosen, and the ring looks so stunning on him :)))

And for me a 1-bang ring in white gold with princess cut blue topazes (I really had a hard time choosing between the blue topazes and the rhodolites)

But somehow a thought linger in my head, do I really need it?

To the Love of My Life

2010-02-17T17:45:00.001+08:00

To my beloved hubby:
'Before you came along, I’m just a locked empty dairy...
Somehow you overcome all odds and managed to find the lost key...
There were times when you have troubles filling up the empty spaces…
But you never ever once gave up and kept on showering me with your never ending love…
And now because of you, my world is full of colors and the unexpected...
I’m so truly blessed to be love by you…’

From Bao Bei

I love this song alot...
This is how I feel whenever I'm with Dear Dear...

It's like this song is written for the both of us...

Anyways, enjoy the song...

My 3rd and 4th Surprise for V day

2010-02-17T11:47:00.000+08:00

Feb 13th, 2010

[Dear Dear: "Bei~ Do you still remember that I've throw away your dying yellow tulips before leaving for our Colorado trip?"

Me: *nod nod*

Dear Dear: "You know, I've secretly kept the petals and turn them into this..."]

Pretty right?! My flower has a name too - Eve!

While still sitting on the bed and admiring my crystallise flower, Dear Dear went back to the closet and handed me my 4th and final surprise gift.

Yes!!! There's... More *Tehehehe*

Meet Emily the pink cat!

This cat caught my attention in the Swarowski store... Love everything about her, the expression, the color and the butterfly sitting on her ear... So madly cute :)

And Dear Dear had notice all that :)))

I'm going to proudly display them once I've gotten our house, and make sure that my guest will have a good look at them too *muhahaha*

Simply love them :)

I've a little something for Dear Dear too...

It's been a while

2010-02-16T13:18:00.000+08:00

Hi all!

I'm back from my Colorado trip!!! (Actually, I'm back quite a few days ago ;p)

Super busy to blog nowadays...

Will blog about my trip and maybe my Valentine's day too, once I've gotten the TIME! (no promise hehehe...)

So 'till then... TaTa :)))

Migraine again and again and....

2010-02-05T02:15:00.000+08:00

I was down with migraine again at 2.30am yesterday, while waiting for Dear Dear to come back home from work...

Damn! This is the 4th time in 4 consecutive weeks I'm down with migraine!!!

You have absolutely no idea what I've been going through, unless you suffer the same symptom as I do...

Bright dancing lights blinding the left side of my eye, my right side of the brain hurts like hell, everything around me was spinning like crazy and I feeling so nauseated...

Do you know how scary it was when you can't really see and feeling so sickly at the same time!!!

And yesterday's was the worst attack ever!

Not even my life saver - Panadol Extra could save me from it... (normally I'll recover from it after 3 to 5 hrs of suffering in pain)

I was in pain through out the whole time until Dear Dear brought me to the doctor the very next morning to have my jabs...

Yes, jabs... not one but two jabs ok!

The worst part was the jabs were inserted on each side of my hips/butt! *nearly fainted on the spot*

I even asked the nurse if I could have the jabs on my arms instead, but the replied from the nurse was, "Sorry madam" with no sympathy at all ok!

The second jab on my right hip hurts the most and I actually let out a loud "Yep!"... The nurse chuckled at my reaction lor. *so bad so bad*

Anyways, I've gotten through with it and it *beep beep* (cursing) hurts!!!

It even hurts when I walked and whenever I sit...

Dear Dear can still joking said to me that he needed to blow a float for me to sit on! *Humph!*

I was also warned by my doctor that the jabs would make me very drowsy and sleepy...

Ok... there's something about my doctor, whenever she said the words "drowsy/sleepy", she starts to giggle! *weird* I can't help but to wonder if she was imagining me looking like a pig snoozing off?!

And true enough once I hit my bed I was knock out through out the day, I only managed to wake up for my dinner...

After dinner I was knock out again and slept all the way till now...

Wow~ I slept like I've slept before lor!

My doctor prescribed me with this medication, it's something you wouldn't be able get it in any drugstores...

The amazing part is, it melts on the tongue!

I haven't gave it a try yet, hope I never will *praying hard* as it means that my migraine is attacking me again :(

Now I'm keeping a migraine diary of the list of food I ate and what time I go to bed or whatever things that could trigger it...

Hope I can find out the reason and prevent it from all means!!!

Yellow Valentine 2010

2010-02-02T07:58:00.000+08:00

This year I've gotten my Valentine's Day present early :)

Saturday night right before going to bed, I went into the closet to hang Dear Dear's jacket.

After opening the closet door, this was what I've found...

A yellow lingerie set from VS! Hanging nicely right before me :)))

Happily, I run into the room to look for Dear Dear and there he was already smiling so brightly at me :)

No wonder he wanted me to hang his jacket for him *rubbing my chin*

Cheeky Dear Dear had done it again, he had everything all planned out...

Went out in the morning while I'm still snoozing away, as he claim he needed to run errand for someone. This was when he went out alone to bought me the gift...
Hide the present very nicely and secretly away from me...
Just before bed time, quickly hang it out in the closet...
Lure me into his "trap" by telling me to help him hang his jacket back in the closet...
Mission accomplished!

Remember a few days ago he got me a bouquet of yellow tulips. Yup, that's part of his plans too...

As he wanted this year to be a yellow Valentine for me *aww...* (if you had noticed, he even used a yellow hanger to hang the lingerie!)

And my tulips have bloom!

Ain't they beautiful?!

Just last year, I had my pinkish Valentine!

Will I have another color theme for Valentine's Day next year? What will it be?! *Jumping up and down excitedly*

Chloe is _____

2010-01-30T05:29:00.000+08:00

I was serving the Internet (my daily routine) and I've found myself looking for the meaning of my name, Chloe.

After reading it, I was kind of amazed...

And here it goes...

Meaning of "Chloe" - Originated from Greek

Ok, almost all english name are from Geek... so nothing new here.

In Greek, the name Chloe means - verdant and blooming.

Oooh~ I'm like a flower surrounded will full of greenery grass..

I can really imagine the scenery right now... *Beautiful*

Originally used in the classical period to symbolize the fertility goddess Demeter.

Ok, this is the part where it amazed me...

I like kids and I really LOVE to have my own kids one day, but I don't wanna sounded like I have the fertility of a rabbit! LOL...

You know, there's once when I've played this fun quiz from Facebook (for the fun of it) about how many kids I'll have and the gender of them...

My result was, 3 girls... *faint*

Coincidentally, Dear Dear played the same quiz too and the result was 2 girls and one boy *faint again*

It's not about the gender of our babies, (we are not those "I prefer boy over girl" OR the other way around! Just as long as our babies are healthy) it's the numbering part!

Two will always be the perfect number and I'm sticking to that!!!

Anyways, I like my name...

A name I've choosen for myself :)

So... what's the meaning of your name?

Tulips Save The Day

2010-01-28T04:48:00.000+08:00

I ran out of onions yesterday and I needed them to cook for yesterday's dinner...

So I've asked Dear Dear to run the errands for me when he had gotten back home from work...

What happen next when he got home with the onions?

Well, you have to read on...

And enjoy the cute pictures ya :)

Staring: Gingy the Gingerbread man *applause*

Yup, another causal surprise (that's what he always calls it when I asked him what was that for) from sweet Dear Dear...

or is it a apologetic gift? Mem... *wondering*

He had actually pass his flu bug to me and also lately he had been doing some silly stuff that got me pretty mad :(

Well... anyways, tulips have safe the day!!! :)

My favourite flowers in my favourite color...

Now waiting for them to bloom to brighten up the gloomy days :)))

Apple Tart-Less

2010-01-28T03:58:00.000+08:00

There was this particular day, where I've gotten the mood to bake a little something...

Whipped out granny smith apples from the fridge and started my chopping, mixing, pouring and cooking...

Tada~ Looks kinda good right... and it took me one whole day to bake it.

But the verdicts from Mr Ng were: waaaay tooo sweeet and the crust was way too hard...

Haiz... I've failed :(

All the apple tarts ended up in the rubbish dump!

In the mean time, don't feel like baking apple tarts until they are good...

I've given up, which Dear Dear doesn't encourage me on that...

But the wave of baking apple tarts was over for me...

So, will be moving on to Apam Balik next :)

I'm back

2010-01-28T02:36:00.000+08:00

Hey Hey!

I'm back!!!

Well, I wasn't on vacation or anything...

I was nursing myself back to health...

Yup, you've guessed right... I've fallen sick again *Sighing...*

Don't have the mood to do practically anything...

I've gotten a nasty flu and sore throat ever since last last Saturday...

Still no yet fully recover from it but feeling much better now...

At least no longer sneezing, my nose didn't run as much and I could live without tissues now *Have been hugging tissue boxes for dear life*

Flu flu go away... don't ever dare come back and haunt me again~ *singing*

Migraine Attack!

2010-01-17T13:06:00.000+08:00

Dear Dear will be on guard duty for today...

That means I'll be home all alone till tomorrow morning...

Suppose to be going out having fun shopping with the ladies...

But I'm still having a bad headache in the morning since yesterday night :(

Then I was down with migraine and having sore throat*Agrhh!!!*

Quickly pop down a pill, but my head was already hurting so bad that it felt as though someone had shoot me in the head over and over again...

I've been popping down pain killers about 3 - 4 times in a week... Headaches kept on coming back and haunting me :(

Now my head still hurts abit but I guess I'm down with a flu soon too...

Haiz... What wrong with me?!

Dear Dear I need you!

Super Broke!

2010-01-14T04:19:00.001+08:00

Yesterday, Angel and Irene wanted to go Vista Ridge mall and I'm tagging along as well *Teehehehe*

We headed straight to VS store 1st...

Just as I thought I've got nothing to buy in the store...

I walked out with one shopping bag (being physco by both ladies of grabbing the on-sale bras LOL...)

Then we were off to Hollister... My 3rd time visiting the store since Saturday! I simply just can't get enough of it!!!

I shop as though the shop will be running away from me LOL... Kept on digging through their piles of sale items hehehe...

Didn't get myself anything this time, just did a exchange of the sweater that I previously got from off-white to a grey...

I've gotten something for Dear Dear instead :) Finally after flipping through the piles of dude jeans, found a pair of jeans of his size! Also bought him two Tees at $5 each... cheap cheap!

Dear Dear was very delighted that I got him something too *Teehehehe*

After hours and hours of shopping, we also headed to Walgreen and Target...

I really couldn't resist of not buying this cute mat at Target... I'm really in love with all their Valentine's stuff, all of them were so pinkish and so adorable!

Already eyeing some of their items and definitely will grab them when they are having sale hehehe...

Oh ya~ My VS order have already arrived :)

Now looking through Forever21 website. OMG, saw a few clothes that I really like too...

Should I buy... Should I not buy... Should I buy...*plucking flowers petals off one by one*

Hollister

2010-01-11T11:46:00.001+08:00

What a fantastic weekend for me!

Simply love the sensation of being able to shop again :)

Well, as you know I've been sick for the pass week... And so I've been resting at home all day and didn't go to anywhere...

I've been eyeing for Hollister clothes for quite sometime now...

It's another American brand that me and Dear Dear like other then American Eagle...

Finally, we have owned a piece of them hehehe...

They are having additional 50% off of mark down prices, and Hollister doesn't has such good bargains before, not that we know of...

We then headed down to Vista Ridge mall yesterday, and we spent hours just shopping in Hollister store only!

We spent quite a bit there, but they were all good buys :)

Dear Dear got himself two nice polo for $17 each. Wanted to grab their jeans too (only $15!), but too bad as there wasn't any sizes left for him...

Bought a nice sweater for myself...

Love the pink top and the jeans :) The pink top only cost us $5! And for the jeans (also at $15), I really recommend it as it really flatters the butt area. My butt looks one size smaller and looks more perkier too hehehe...

And today we went back to Hollister store again, this time round at Galleria mall...

And we didn't leave empty handed too hehehe...

Grey top at $10...

Blue Sundress at 10 bucks too...

Zara is having 50% off sales too and bought this simple silky black dress at $10! Another brand added to my closet/clothing *Yippee*

Have ordered VS online a few days ago and they are having their semi-annual sale too, now waiting patiently for them to arrive.... They better not mess up my orders again, or else... *shaking my fits*

Condense Milk Pound Cake

2010-01-10T12:34:00.000+08:00

Yesterday, Air Force had a little farewell party at the St Marin's leasing office...

All wives would not be attending...

So the ladies (Angel, Amelia and Irene) suggested to come over to my house to spent the few hours of "husband's free", hanging out together hehehe...

I decided to bake a little something to welcome them :)

Condense Milk Pound Cake (click here
for the recipe)

It's my very 1st time baking a cake... And the girls were so so sweet, as they don't mind being my guinea pig ;p

My cake turns out pretty good *Grinning from ear to ear*

They all said that it was nice and Dear Dear likes it too *Yipee!*

Well... there's still room for improvement though, especially the chocolate swirl part... As it should be swirling all over the cake, but mine was all sink to the bottom...

I'm in a baking mood lately and I'll be attempting to bake apple tarts next! So any takers? *Teehehehe*

False Alarm...

2010-01-08T14:25:00.000+08:00

Hi everyone, my name is Chocolate Chips and I'm 2 years old :

I'm fat, have super soft fur and I'm so friendly that I wouldn't even bite ya :)

I love being stroke on the head, I love running around crazily (yes, I run instead of hopping hehehe...) thinking that I'm running freely in the wild, I love to eat and I love Chloe :)

Yesterday, I wasn't myself at all...

I didn't eat, didn't drink at all and was so tired that I didn't move much for the whole day...

Chloe was so worried about me that she cried...

She thought that I was very sick and was going to die...

And I have absolutely no idea why I'm behaving like this either...

Chloe wanted to bring me to the Vet 1st thing in the morning, and poor thing she didn't get much sleep as she kept on waking up during the night checking me out...

Then the very next morning...

I've got my appetite back!!!

And I'm all active again... Yipee~

Btw, I'm love paper towels too... Well, is a rabbit thing hehehe...

We love you more than you love us, even you left us all alone at home for the whole day... So pls pls pls stop animal abuse. Thank you :)

Fallen ill

2010-01-05T14:58:00.000+08:00

Happy 2010 guys!!!

Opps~ I know, my greetings were so over due...

How's your new year? Sure you must have spent the day much better than I do...

As I have spent most of the time laying in bed :(

Yup, I've fallen sick... What a way to welcome New Year eh'

It was Tuesday night right after dinner, the next thing I knew that I was hugging the toilet bowl, vomiting!

I was having diarrhoea at the same time too, but nothing compares to my non-stop vomiting...

Hours and hours of throwing up till nothing was left inside my stomach... Not even a single drop of stomach acid.

Seeing me in such a bad shape, Dear Dear rushed me to the hospital (it's was already 3 plus in the morning)... I ended up in A & E and was being admitted to a ward...

After seeing the doctor, I needed to be on IV drip immediately as I was super dehydrated...

Gosh! I hate needles!!!

Whenever there's needles poking into my fore arm it will always leave this nasty bruise behind, plus it hurts so damn much!

But thank goodness, I had a very professional nurse attending me and her name was Ashley...

I like her alot :) she's very gently and super duper sweet and she kept on calling me Honey *Teehehehe*

See no bruise at all!

I was diagnosed with stomach bug, which was very contagious and was discharged after an hour...

After got home, I didn't feel any better... still having diarrhoea, vomiting, fever, backache, stomached for the past whole week... Aarghh

All this while Dear Dear was always at my side, keeping a close eye on me. Luckily, I didn't pass the nasty virus to him :)

Poor thing, he didn't get much sleep at all for the past week and was so worried about me...

Thanks to his tender loving care, I'm back in the pink of health again! *Woo Hoo*

Irene cooked me a pot of porridge once she had heard that I've fallen sick.. That's was so so super sweet of her... Thanks alot girl :)))

Oh~ I've gotten my fever back again... This time round it's shopping fever!!! Whahahaha... *Evil laugh*

X'mas Party

2009-12-29T14:09:00.001+08:00

During X'mas eve, we were being invited to Winnie's house at Vista Point in the evening for a little X'mas party :)

We were having potluck and I've brought fruits. Then we had our gifts exchange that was involved with a little number guessing game... It was super funny and fun!

We also played the Taboo game (brought by Yanwen) and while playing, all of us were like roaring on the floor with laughter... It's a super fun game!

Since it's a winter wonderland out there, we put on our jackets, getting all excited and headed out of the house...

And we found a beautiful slope filled up with snow and guess what all of us did next?!

Snow ball fight of course!!! Snow balls were flying in every directions and laughter were filling up the quite night... Luckily, we gotten no complaints form the neighbours *phew*... The guys even brought out cardboard to sleigh down the slope lor LOL...

This will be one of the Christmas that we will never ever forgets :)))

Our 1st White Christmas

2009-12-26T13:18:00.001+08:00

Dec 24th 2009

X’mas eve and it raining in the morning… Had watched the weather news the previous night that it’ll be snowing around 4am… Super excited!!! I’ve never seen snowing before… Definitely will not miss it for the world as it hardly ever snow in Dallas!!! But it’s raining throughout the night instead of snowing… And by then I was already fast asleep and Dear Dear woke up almost every hour to check on the weather. Still no sign of Mr. flake...

Woke up at 12pm and Dear Dear was still snoozing away… Went to wash up but still in my Pjs, I walked over to the window and peeked through the blinds… Still raining. But then I saw something white in between the rain and it’s getting more and more… Omg, This is it!!!

Kept on shaking Dear Dear to get him up and yelled, “Snowing! It’s snowing!!!”. Then I quickly dashed into the closet and put my jacket on… Luckily, I was stop by Dear Dear just in time ‘cause I’ve totally forgotten that I’m still wearing my thin Pjs LOL… Once gotten my myself all amour (I looked like some Eskimo from North Pole), grab the camera and headed downstairs, leaving Dear Dear behind while he was still in the house getting himself ready LOL…

My Spore friends were out enjoying the snow too :)))

Despite the thick layers of clothing, the coldness was like million of knifes stabbing through my body... My legs went numb and couldn't really feel them, so went to Irene's house to hid from the coldness.

Thanks to her wonderful hospitality, she cooking us hot noddle soup... *Yummy*

After hours and hours of snowing, the snow was building up every seconds... Everywhere and everything had turn into pure whiteness... What a beautiful sight!

Such pureness, such happiness and such beautifulness... I so glad and honored that these wonderful memories were shared between you and me :)

The below video was taken at our balcony during X'mas eve, and it had been 83 yrs since Dallas had her white X'mas... so did we witnessed world history? Mem... maybe.

Merry X'mas!!!

2009-12-24T15:43:00.000+08:00

Today was like 21 degree and it kind of warm during the day...

Can you believe that I'm wearing just a T-shirt and short pants during winter?!

And now it's raining cats and dogs out there...

Over the night the temperature will drop to below freezing...

Crazy weather isn't it...

The weather over here is always so drama lor LOL...

Anyways, the weather forecast said that it might be snowing tomorrow in Dallas...

Let's hope and pray that it will snow!!!

Have already miss it once during my Florida holiday trip Haiz...

Tomorrow Dear Dear will not be working *Yipee*... Might be doing our last minute shopping before we head off to Winnie's house to celebrate Christmas... Sure will be fun :)

Just saw a cute commercial of Santa running desperately across the car park and towards Target super market, as he's doing his last minute shopping too LOL...

Going to miss my Christmas season in Dallas alot alot and alot...

Merry Merry Christmas and A Happy Happy New Year to all!!!

Christmas Shopping Spree

2009-12-21T13:26:00.000+08:00

These few days have been busy doing some last minute shopping...

Everywhere is having Christmas crazy sales!!!

Will feel so sorry for myself if I didn't join in the crowd, especially this will be my last Christmas in Dallas :(

And today, I've a very fruitful shopping spree *Grinning from ear to ear*

Just last month, VS was giving away their secret reward cards with any $10 purchase, and it claims that it's so secret that the value can only be revealed during checkouts.

The card value: $10, $50,$100 or $500.

I've gotten 3 of them in total, so went to VS to have a little indulgence before the cards expires hehehe...

After spending like an hour in the store, finally got what I wanted, took out all the reward cards and make the payment...

But the cashier told us that we could only use a reward card per transaction, and she offered to help us check the cards' value 1st...

When she's scanning the cards to check out the values, I turned to face Dear Dear and said to him in Mandarin (didn't want the sales girl to know our little conversation), "All the rewards should be in $10 isn't it? It must be a bluff, if not we have to spent a higher amount to get higher card value...". And Dear Dear totally agrees with me...

Then our cashier said something that really surprise us, and those few words took us quite a while to process in our brain too hahaha...

She was like holding the card, shaking it and said, "You've got a $100 value card!"

Omg... this news to me was like striking a lottery lor! Muhahahaha....

Pure luck, I'll always welcome you with open arms!!!!

Went to Origins store too and spend quite a bit there...

It took me forever to decided which products to get... All of them looks so awesome that can really do wonders to you skin!

Wanting me to make up my mind, Dear Dear kept on telling me the mall will be closing soon... making me so panicky... so bad lor :(

Anyways, gotten the help from the sales girl that I should look at the range of white tea facial products (to fight off/preventing aging)...

Dear Dear told me to grab the white tea gift set, which consists of: cleanser, serum (I think) and moisturizer... that cost about $45 (not sure if it's cheap, but of course cheaper than buying individually).

And he also grab the eye cream for me too, said that this completes the essential basic skin care routine... He sounded so professional hor hahaha...

Spent about $75 here after the $10 off coupon... But a pity that I couldn't get their free gift as all of them were already gone in a flash *sob sob*

Will be continuing my Christmas shopping tomorrow morning before Dear Dear heads off to work...

Haven't bought any Christmas gift yet... Not sure what to get *headache headache*

A Dog and One Teeny Chair

2009-12-12T10:28:00.000+08:00

I'll be helping to babysit Champ the golden retriever again...

This time round, I'll be having alot more time with him :)

As he'll be staying at our house for about a month...

The longest stay ever hehehe...

Yesterday when I'm off to bed, Champ didn't followed me into the bedroom and lay next to the bed side, like he always does everyday...

Feeling strange, I got up and flick on the lights in the kitchen...

But he wasn't there...

Then I took a quick scan near the door, which by the way was his favourite sleeping spot during daytime...

Weird... He's not there as well.

So I went to the living room and switch on the lights... and I've found him! Also at the same time I was roaring with laughter LOL!!!

This was where I've found him...

He was laying so comfortably at the small arm chair, which by the way is a child's arm chair (it was given to us by Dear Dear's colleague) LOL...

The scene was so cute and funny, I quickly grab the camera and start snapping pictures hahaha...

He's so so cute right!

I was wondering how he fits himself into the small chair, as he's kinda of a big size dog...

And I've gotten my answers today, when Champ demonstrated the "skill" personally LOL...

He basically stood up on the chair with his four legs, and slowly adjusted himself...

Once he found the correct position, and tada!

This reminds me of those very flexible people that could fit in a very tiny box LOL...

When Champ arpund, he's quite a bundle of joy :)... I have more cute pictures and videos of him... Shall blog about it when I've got the time ya :)

Miami Beach

2009-12-10T15:03:00.000+08:00

Nov 28th

Wake up at 3.30am, getting ready to catch our 6.30am flight

And as always I had only a few hours of sleep the day before, doing last minute packing and also too excited for our trip :)

It'll be a 2hrs flight from Dallas airport to Florida - Orlando.

After touch down and collected our rental car, our 1st stop; Miami beach.

And it'll be another 3hrs of travelling by car to Miami beach... "xin ku" Dear Dear le...

We didn't swim in the deep blue sea this time round, just hang around on the beach basking under the sun...

we don't intent to stay at Miami for the night...

Will rush back to Orlando when the sky darkens...

My impression of Miami beach... well, somehow a little disappointed...

Not that the beach wasn't nice... Maybe because I compared it to Hawaii (the paradise!)...

Dear Dear also felt the same way as I do...

Anyways, it's just our little opinion...

Have taken some nice pictures during our visit, check it out ya :)

Love~

My Sweet Sixteen (after a decade)

2009-12-08T08:07:00.000+08:00

I've a wonderful 26th birthday...

Gotten alot of surprises from Dear Dear... I'm always so pamper by him and I'm loving very single bit of it :)))

He had gotten me a VS Pink bling bling hoodie for our 9th year anniversary, and we celebrated our special day at the Universal studio :)

The ginger bread man was a casual surprise from Dear Dear...

Did you recognized the ginger bread man?

Yup... it's Gingy from Shrek the animated movie!!! He's so super duper cute right?

Actually, Dear Dear wanted to buy it for me when I 1st laid my eyes on it but I rejected him, 'cause it's very expensive...

Then I saw a much bigger Gingy at the Universal studio's fun fair booth, but Dear Dear didn't managed to win me one after a number of attempts...

And so we went back to our inn without Gingy...

I was rolling on the bed and was whining like a kid on how much I wanted Gingy...

Dear Dear told me not to be naughty and said that it was me who don't wanna buy it in the 1st place...

Just when I stop whining, Dear Dear took something brown out of his bag... It's Gingy!!!

Dear Dear had secretly bought it without my knowing... 'Till now I still have absolutely no idea when he had bought it (Dear Dear still refusing to let me know), as we were together the whole time!

Maybe during our toilet break? *Wondering*

Dec 4th, the day when I bid farewell to 25th :(

Not only was I pampered by Dear Dear... I was pretty much pamper by Walt Disney too :)))

I've gotten a birthday fun card worth $79, which was equivalent to one adult admission ticket... How cool was that!!!

And I was given a birthday badge with my name and age on it... I love putting the badge on as strangers would bid me happy birthday and those words felt so merry to my ears :)))

And this year I had collected the most birthday wishes!!! WooHoo~

But my happiness was short lived as my big day was ruined by the heavy rain...

It was raining so heavily that we didn't do much during that day... We were practically stuck under the rain the whole time.

Dear Dear was very sweet, he told me that the rain was tears of joy as Heaven was too happy for me...

But I didn't felt any better, I even started to blame Dear Dear for not planning the day well enough...

I know, I'm so bad right... How can I blame him when it was something that's beyond his control...

Suddenly, gigantic tear drops rolled down my face... and could tell that Dear Dear's heart was aching, seeing me cry and being so upset...

All I want was my day to be enjoyable... All thanks to the stupid rain!

He did planned our vacation perfectly as he knew that it would be a rainy day on my birthday, and so he purposely brought me to Disney Epcot on that day (a boring theme park)...

The other fun theme parks had been pushed forward so that I could enjoyed it to the fullest during those nice weather...

Then in the evening he brought me to downtown Disney to do my shopping...

I felt much better after the shopping... Gotten myself some presents using the fun card and seeing so many cute stuff in Disney store really lightens me up, even though it was still raining out there...

I had a hard time deciding which photo frame I should get 'cause all of the Disney frames were all so super super nice... really wanted to get them all!

Anyways, I like the frame that I've got and Dear Dear likes it too, can put a number of photos in it...

Also gotten myself Mickey Mouse coaster and shot glass... very cute right?

Had printed out a 5 x 7 photo; posing with Mickey Mouse in his sorcerer hat...

Bought a Tinkerbell (my favourite cartoon character) magnet photo frame. Really love the frame at 1st sight and the photo frame fits perfectly between Tinkerbell's hands and her shoes!

Everything were all sponsored by Walt Disney!!! Hehehe...

Then Dear Dear took me to Fulton's Crab House for dinner, he knows how I always love seafood :)

The restaurant was design of a ship... pretty cool~

This picture was took on the very next day (went back to Disney downtown) as the previous night was impossible to take any out door pictures due to the heavy rain...

Appetiser: Crab tomato bisque soup

Main course: Alaska crab and Lobster

The Alaska crabs were bigger than my palm and they were super fresh and sweet! So fresh that no meat was stuck to it's shell!

The lobster was Heavenly too - one big fat juicy lobster! *slurp*

This was the best seafood I ever had and also the most expensive one! *pocket one enormous hole*

After dinner, just when I thought Dear Dear was going to pay for the bills... A birthday cake appeared and birthday song was heard, which was sang by Dear Dear and our waitress!!! I was really got off guard :)

Wonder how he got my cake? hehehe...

Right before our dinner were being served, Dear Dear told me to go to the restroom and wash my hands. And that was when he secretly told our waitress to prepare my birthday cake!

He's always so sweet... No wonder I love him so much! hehehe...

There's the dinner, the birthday song and cake... What's left?

Of course... Birthday present!!!

2 days before my big day, when we were waiting in front of the beautiful Cinderella castle to catch the Disney night parade... Suddenly, I felt a string of cold metal against my neck! Then cold metal was felt on my wrist too...

Dear Dear got me Tiffany & Co locket and bracelet :))) I love it so much!

Pss... tell you one secret. I somehow got to know what Dear Dear had bought for my birthday present hehehe...

Not that I know he got me the locket and bracelet, I mean I know I'll be getting accessories and the brand of it...

I accidentally saw the distinctive turquoise color boxes (that shouts out Tiffany & Co) hiding nicely inside Dear Dear's bag, the day before he gave me my surprise ;p

You know how hard it is to restrain myself to take a good peek at the gifts! It took all my muscles and brain cells to fight off the temptation k LOL...

It's meant to be a surprise after all, why ruin it right ;p

I've haven't told him about it yet, guess he'll know somehow after he read this LOL...

It's a very simple bracelet but it suits me as I've a very slim wirst... chunky bracelet will look bad on me though...

Too bad the bracelet was too big for my wrist... with one swing of my arm and it will come flying off...

Hope can be alter *finger cross*

My heart locket... Can't wait to put our pictures in :)

Thanks Dear Dear for all the things you've done for me without you my life would be meaningless, so boring, so lifeless and no surprises...

Thank god I found you.. Thank god I have you :)

Fire at Karrington

2009-12-08T04:13:00.000+08:00

Hi folks... I'm back from my Florida trip!

Actually, I'm back since Saturday night, and guess who I've bump into during our departure to Dallas... It was Angel and YC!

Apparently, we shared the same flight home... What a small world huh hehehe...

Anyways, shall blog more about my Florida trip again... so stay tune k :)

I was pretty much worried sick yesterday...

When we were on our way home, we saw thick smoke coming out of a apartment at Karrington (a apartment just next to St Marin where we are staying at) and fire trucks were surrounding the block...

Dear Dear route over to check out the conditions...

I saw a small fire on the roof top and after a few minutes later water was squirting out from the the roof...

And the small fire that I saw was distinguished... but thick smoke was still filling up the dark sky...

Heard that the fire had lasted for like an hour and luckily, no one was hurt... thank god for that.

Today, Dear Dear told me that one of our airforce family was affected by the fire as they stay directly above the burning house...

And they are moving out now to another block...

Once again, really thankful that no one was hurt during the incident...

Happy 9th Anniversary Dear!

2009-11-28T19:37:00.000+08:00

Guess where am I right now...

I'm at the Dallas airport, waiting to board on the plane and fly off to Florida with Dear Dear :)))

This quick message is for my belove Dear Dear...

I'm actually using the free internet station now... only left a few mintues left before being log off...

Happy 9th Anniversary!!!

Thanks for the surprise present you've got for me :)

Really love it alot! And thanks for everything... I love you!

Celebration in Florida!

2009-11-26T11:56:00.000+08:00

WooHoo~ 3 more days to our Florida trip!!!

Going to visit the world famous places: Disney World, Universal Studio and Miami Beach :)))

There's something magical and special about this trip yo...

Will be celebrating our 9th year anniversary of being together and celebrating my sweet sixteen, only that it was after a decade ;p

Actually, we planned to have our Florida trip during March 2010... Since Dear Dear still have 5 more days to clear by this year, so we've decided to push forward our plans...

Dear Dear took his leave from 28th Nov till 5th Dec, to celebrate our big day (29th Nov) and my big day (4th Dec) :)

My Dear Dear always so thoughtful :)

Last year, Dear Dear brought me to had my birthday get away at Las Vegas, and this year will be celebrating my birthday with Mickey and Minnie... I'm so happy!!!

As excited as I am right now... I actually don't really want time to pass any faster...

Not that I don't look forward to our trip...

Just that adding another digit to the age number isn't a good thing after all...

I'm no longer belong to the early or mid twenties category...

Haiz, how sad... another candle added to my birthday cake :(

I'm going to miss the proud-ness of saying my age out loud... and m0st probably will mumble or change subject whenever someone asking me about my age LOL...

Found a little secret of being young, is to live at country where Caucasians live...

Why?

That's the advantage of being an Asian, to them we'll also appear much younger than our real age...

They are very surprise when I told them I'm 25... and they'll be like "gosh~ I thought you are only eighteen!" *floating in the air* hehehe...

But there was once a Mexican lady asking me where my mama was, 'cause she thought I was nine years old! OMG, I almost dug a hole and buried my head inside lor...

Anyways, who am I kidding right? Old means old liao... have to face the fact after all...

Mem, wondering what Dear Dear had in store for me this year... a surprise in Florida? A birthday present hiding somewhere in the house (that's what he claim)... Makes me so "xin yang yang" LOL...

I'm now an Angel

2009-11-25T03:26:00.000+08:00

Guess what I've received from yesterday's mail... My Angel credit card from Victoria Secret!!!

Dear Dear had apply the card for me about a week ago and he straight away call to activate the card upon receiving it... Yipee!!!

And it's shopping time!!! Whahaha...

Hope there's good sales during Black Friday... *keeping my fingers cross*

There's also an additional offers book for the card holder... Not too bad ley as I'll be having more different designs of free pantie adding to my VS pantie collection hehehe... and all of them are on high end value. I'm so excited!

I also recieve a surprise call from Toom yesterday :)))

The 1st thing she said to me was," Liyi... Penguin... Penguin father and the egg!!!"

I was like, "Huh???"...

She was actually watching discovery about penguins and she remember us talking about penguin daddy taking care of their little ones since they were an egg, during our last meet up session...

She so cute right... LOL

I also told her to watch documentary of male seahorse giving birth to babies...

Both of us were so fascinated by male spices taking care of babies and being pregnant LOL...

And we chit chat over the phone for more than an hour... Really enjoyed talking to her... She's so funny and cute :)))

My Day With Shermaine and Shervon

2009-11-24T13:49:00.000+08:00

At about 1.30pm, Snow dropped Shermaine and Shervon at my house...

Helping her to babysit her two little angels, while she and her hubby (Ah Kam) clean up their apartments before handing over the house back to leasing office...

As they'll be leaving back to Spore this Friday...

I'll be babysitting them alone... as Dear Dear was busy helping Ah Kam running errands and after that he needed to head off to work at 3.30pm...

I must say, taking care of a kid was not an easy job... It's even tougher when the number was two LOL...

You basically have no time for yourself... Really...

After finish cooking Dear Dear's dinner, needed to make sure that the kids had their lunch... which can lasted like for an hour or more...

They'll just take a bite of the food and run around the house wanting you to play "catching" with them... You'll be either chasing behind them or let them kept on running around you *dizzy* and persuading them to sit down and eat quietly LOL...

Other than playing with the two energizer bunnies, I'll be cleaning up the messes they left behind... like food on the carpet, water spilling and toys were all over the place...

Oh ya~ Not to forget breaking up fights too LOL...

I know they can be a handful and can be mischievous too, but seeing them so happy and full with laughter... It's all so so so worth it, even though I'm extremely tired and no personally time for myself at all...

I truly love their company to bits!!!

Shermaine is four years old and pretty much glued to the TV...

Shervon is two years old and she likes to well... take out stuff from the drawer to re-arrange and misplacing them LOL...

Posing with pretty Shermaine...

Opps~ How can we left out cutie pie shervon?!

Wanted to take picture with Shervon, but she already angry with us for ignoring her LOL...

Take 1: Ignoring me and continue with her re-arrangement...

Take 2: Grab her for the picture even if she refused...

Take 3: Victory is mine!!! As she finally gave in Muhahaha...

The pictures above were taken by Shermaine, not bad hor... She's such a big girl now :)

Self taken picture by Shermaine...

Just in case you were wondering what happen to her pretty face... I did not abuse her ok!

She abuse herself one...

Just kidding la... Heard from her mummy that she have fallen flat on her face a few days ago.

Teaching Shervon to smile and say cheese for the camera... Realised that she hardly smiled for the camera, only gave a very blur look...

Take 2: That's right girl, we were almost there...

Take 3: Yeah!!! She did it :)))

What an accomplishment hahaha...

My favourite picture :) Even though I looked like shit hahaha...

Notice Shervon will smile for the camera now hehehe... and they look like angels rights!

I'm going to miss them dearly... I really hope that they will remember me and heard them calling me "Jie Jie Liyi" again, when I'm back to Spore too :)))

Before both of them left my home, Shermaine and Shervon gave me a hug and kisses me on the cheeks... My heart just melted...

Shall end here... very emo now~

Being All Alone For This Coming Saturday

2009-11-20T06:35:00.000+08:00

"Huh... Dear Dear do you really have to be on guard duty on Saturday?" *Pouting my lips*

"Please do not be naughty k..." replied Dear Dear and gave me that you know it's impossible look.

I know... I know... I'm asking a little too much...

Doing guard duty isn't as frequent as last time... and Dear Dear doesn't has to go for far far away deployment, which can lasted like for weeks.

Oh well... which wife doesn't want her hubby to come home every single day?!

I can be left all alone during daytime and at night... Only when it comes to bed time...

Why?!

Dear Dear isn't there to tuck me into bed.

I wouldn't be receiving good night kisses.

No whispering of the words "I love you".

My small hand will remain cold, as Dear Dear will always uses his big warm hand and hold my hand to sleep.

I wouldn't be expecting a kiss on my forehead in the middle of the night.

What if there's loud thunder? Dear Dear will always uses his hands to cover my ears and hold me close, so that I could fall back to sleep.

Oh well, I have all planned out on what I should do on Saturday to limit the tossing and turning in bed at night... So that I'll be super tired, collapse into bed and knock out till the very next day... And the 1st thing I'll see when I open up my eyes in the morning, is that Dear Dear will be sitting at the side of the bed and smiling down at me :)

Will be doing housework... no wait... I mean spring cleaning... My house looked like a tornado had just visited.
Doing couponing for next week deals.
Bring out the X'mas decorations from the closet... and start decorating the house when Dear Dear's back home on Sunday.
Giving long distand call to mummy.
Planning where to go on Sunday.
Watch DL drama.

That should keep me busy all day and super exhausted ba... hehehe...

More good stuff to share

2009-11-19T12:49:00.000+08:00

Hi hi I'm back again hehehe...

Here are some quick post for the past few days...

Again, have been going out every single day to grab stuff that are on super good deals :)

Yesterday, Angel and I went over to Toom's new apartment for a little visit at 1pm...

Thanks for her hospitality, she cook us Tom Yum soup for lunch...

Simply love her Tom Yum soup to death!!!

She knew that I can't take spicy food and so she purposely reduce the spiciness to my liking :)))

Thanks to Toom and Angel for their understanding hehehe... (as both of them like super spicy food) *paisei paisei*

The three of us really can talk and talk non-stop man LOL... and I enjoyed their company very much :)))

We left Toom's house around 6pm and "da bao" her left over Tom Yum soup for dinner...

I added some of my homemake wanton into the Tom Yum soup for our dinner...

Dear Dear and I drank all of the soup... not even a single drop left in the bowl ok!

Have already make a pact with Angel that one of the days will went over to Toom's house again to learn Thai cooking LOL...

And today, went out with Angel to CVS, Walgreen, Target and Walmart...

As always, we went home as the winner LOL...

Thanks to Angel's baby wipes coupons, got them at oni $0.62 at Target

And the rest all for free after all my coupons :)))

Got to go now... need to do my "homework" of couponing for next week deals hehehe... *busy busy busy*

Bye bye!

Everything is for F.R.E.E.

2009-11-13T12:53:00.001+08:00

Yesterday was Veterans day...

It's an American public holiday honoring the military veterans...

Suppose to be a no working day... but Dear Dear needed to go back to complete his work to meet his deadline on Friday.

So once again, I did what I'm always good at... and that is staying at home alone waiting patiently for Dear Dear to come back :)))

When Dear Dear got back home around 6pm... We headed out to Applebee's to have our dinner, as we heard that they are offering free entry for military!

When we got there... Oh gosh~ the whole restaurant was packed full with people! And the queue had already extended out of the restaurant lor!

Anyways, still decided to dine there despite the super duper long queue... and our table would be ready about 45 mins.

So we went to Super Target supermarket to kill time, and also Dear Dear wanted to grab more of the Glade refill candles hahaha...

Our victory stuff of the Glade candles!

After all coupons and gift cards.... Not a single penny came out from our wallets! And we also walk home with a $5 Target gift cards :)

I'm always the happy one and feeling super satisfy when comes to good deals like this... But this time round Dear Dear was the one who's over the moon and he kept on telling me "Shiok! Very shiok! LOL...

After half and hour shopping at Target, we headed back to Applebee's... Thought we still have to wait for another 15 mins or so but guess what?! Our table was already ready for us quite a while ago! But luckily, we don't have to queue back into the line...

Even though there's not much variety for the free entry... but we still enjoyed our dinner very much :)

Dear Dear had his favourite Sirloin steak and for me, chicken penne with tomato sauce *Slurp*

Our very 1st time having dinner for absolutely free! Two words to describe, Super Shiok!!!

But both of us still felt a little weird and paisei... so we gave a little more tips to our server of $10...

Could tell that her eyes really light up when she saw the tips that we gave her LOL...

we enjoyed her serving us anyways...

It's time to head back home and We brought home a huge smile on our face :)

Soup of Love

2009-11-12T04:20:00.000+08:00

Dear Dear was having his day off yesterday... and both of us slept till 11am.

For the past week, I have been waking up pretty early before 9am almost everyday 'cause Champ would be 'whining' for my attention LOL... He's just too cute to be ignored :)))

But that morning, Champ 'allowed' me to sleep for a few hours more LOL...

Dear Dear got up from bed 1st and went to wash up...

But lazy me... still hiding behind the blanket and refusing to get up hehehe...

After Dear Dear got out from the bathroom, he sat down at the side of the bed while I'm still under the blanket...

And he said, "Still tired? Continue your beauty sleep k? I need to bring our car to the work shop for servicing... So wait for me to come back home then get up. Oh~ Don't cook for today's lunch ya... I'll buy our lunch back..."

It was just a very casual conversation but somehow I sensed that Dear Dear was up to something. Mem... *Wondering*

But I just pushed that thought away after a minute or so... Maybe I think too much?

Right after Dear Dear had left home... I got up and took Champ for his morning walk and his daily exercise.

When Dear Dear got home around 1pm plus, he only brought back one heavy package and some letters from our mailbox...

No to-go lunch at sight...

Just when I'm about to ask what happen to our lunch, Dear Dear ask if we have prawns, macaroni, fish balls mushrooms etc...

And then he was like digging through the fridge...

Huh?! Is my Dear Dear going to cook lunch today???

It had been a very very very long time since Dear Dear had step into the kitchen and cook a meal for me...

The most was to cook instant noodles... but that doesn't count right!

Then Dear Dear was shooing me out of the kitchen... saying that the kitchen was now his "Tian Xia" and warning me not to peep!

Mem... wondering what would he be cooking :)

Is it my favourite prawn mee noodle soup that he had promised to cook one day for me? (BTW this promised have been made more than a year ago ok!)

I was in the living room waiting patiently...

Then the sound of running water, clinking of pots and silverware and the nice aroma filled the house...

After half and hour later....

Tom yum macaroni soup was born!!!

It's not just any ordinary tom yum soup...

The soup base was from my favorite brand of tom yum stock cubes - Knorr :)

We just couldn't find it selling anywhere in Dallas...

And Dear Dear have secretly told my mother-in-law to air mail it to us!

Also it brings back alot of sweet memories... when we were still dating :)

Dear Dear would cook that for me almost every weekend back in Spore when I'm craving for it, also when I'm still don't even know how to turn on the stove or pan-fry an egg...

I just can't get tired of eating it hehehe...

That's the heavy parcel Dear Dear had brought home...

He actually had told my mother-in-law to mail 5 pack of knorr but she mailed us 2 whole boxes of it instead LOL... and that's alot!

And it's not cheap to air mail over... it's super expensive!

She's is so loving right :)))

Oh~ the furry leg on the left hand corner belongs to Champ the golden retriever hahaha...

Another surprise without any reason... Another reason to love you more :)))

And Dear I know you will be reading this and you still own me my prawn mee noodle soup ok?! LOL...

My thoughts of the word 'Busy'

2009-11-10T09:37:00.000+08:00

I know.... I have been missing in action for a week liao... *Opps*

Well, my excuse for my absence... just simply busy ;p

Huh... want to know what I'm busy at?

Mem... I've have absolutely no idea! LOL...

I remembered going out every single day since last Monday...

Went for Agnes farewell lunch, went to do grocery shopping, babysitting Champ, went to sent off Agnes and her family at the airport, and the list goes on...

See~ Housewife can be pretty busy too ok hehehe...

And in my world of being 'Busy':

Type A

**If you claim that you are busy and you know exactly what you are busy at... You are indeed busy**

Type B

**If you claim that you are busy and doesn't really know or couldn't recalled what you are busy at... You are extremely, super duper, out of this world busy**

Well, that's was just a penny of my thoughts...

And for now... I hate it if I've fallen into type B.

Why?!

'Cause time seems to pass way too fast *Zoom!Poof!Gone!*

Happy Halloween

2009-11-03T01:15:00.001+08:00

Happy belated Halloween! hahaha...

I know I'm a kinda late to blog about Halloween...

Well, just wanna to have my memories written out before they are gone...

Haiz... I have limited "storage space" in my brain... They (my memories) might wipe out once the "data" are full... *auto delete*

Yup... I relied on technology more than my own brain... I'm so pathetic hor :(

Anyways on Saturday morning, went to air force base to purchase our Disneyworld and Universal tickets that we didn't managed to get while we were there last time.

Yipee~ One thing off my trip listing le *whistling*

Then, we did our weekly grocery at the Commissary market and I totally love using the self check out machine to make payments. A pretty cool machine that except coupons hehehe...

Before we knew it, it was almost 4pm already... and so we decided to head back home and have a short nap.

In the evening and right after our to-go dinner, we wanted to check out the Halloween haunted house around Dallas... and Dear Dear had found one via the web.

Tada~ Our so called dressing up for the Halloween hehehe...

Can't really tell which characters we were imitating right LOL...

Dear Dear suppose to be Harry potter whereas me as a high school nerdy only without the nerdy glasses...

Couldn't find any nice nerdy glasses around ley...

I have to force Dear Dear to put on the Harry Potter glasses lor, which he only wore it like for a few minutes and he refused to carry the wand too haiz...

Mem... with my plaits I looked more like the creepy Wednesday from the Adam's family LOL...

Decided to let the plaits go instead hehehe...

Hi there! I'm Harry Potter's big sister LOL...

If you know me pretty well... you will know that I've something in common with the famous wizard boy hehehe...

No no... I'm not a witch and I don't have magic powers ok LOL...

When we were about to go out, I've received a call from Agnes asking if I've got any candies at home as she's bring the kids over for treat or trick...

Luckily, I've gotten a few packs of candies left in the fridge and also dug out some Halloween pencils and toys that I've bought it from last year's Halloween hahaha...

Treat or Trick!!! Ain't the kids adorable!!!

And so we were off to the haunted house which was like an hour drive...

Guess what?! After reaching (Scream the haunted house), we were standing at the entrance deciding whether if we should go in.

Not that we were too timid to go in...I think LOL... It's that the entrance fee per person was $20 and we were pretty much broke then. Plus, camera was not allowed to bring in too... So really no point going in...

Then we just head back home and this is how we spent our Halloween... I know pretty boring huh...

Well, there's always next year... just that we'll be celebrating Halloween back in Spore le...

MSNing

2009-10-30T12:52:00.001+08:00

Ever since I've gotten Dear Dear a new notebook for his Birthday present...

There was less "fighting" in using my only Sunshine Laptop LOL...

Even though we have a desktop too, but we don't like to use it to serve the web... just mainly for downloading purpose...

Right after dinner both of us would be pretty much glued to our own laptops and enjoy watching Taiwanese variety show/movie at the same time...

Suddenly, I got a MSN from Dear Dear while he was just sitting right next to me!

Haiz... When have our love evolved to chatting via the MSN?!

Have Dear Dear tired of even talking to me already?!

I didn't open up the MSN window immediately and gave Dear Dear a "what's that all about" look...

But he was still glued to his notebook and ignoring me...

Fine... I'll see what he's up to then...

Open up the MSN window and this was what Dear Dear had sent me...

A "flying kiss"... and it's a pretty huge one that could be played over and over again LOL...

Both of us were laughing away... :)))

Then after which Dear Dear sent me another message again...

This time round he wanted to webcam with me...

And both of us were like goofing around through the webcam... Taking pictures and making funny faces LOL...

What?! Both of us very Wu liao?! Well, I think sometimes it's the wu liao-ness and the little things that keeps the love going and growing strong... *wink*

The Little Things
by Genny Moore

Those calls from work, just to hear my voice,
The little notes left in my car for you I do rejoice.

Soft kisses on my cheek or running your fingers through my hair,
When you think I am asleep, you silently say a prayer.

The "hey baby's, how was your day?" Soft hugs from behind,
A hickey on my neck, your claim to my heart, soul and mind.

Oh how you brighten up my day, it's the little things I treasure
Holding hands in public, making love brings me pleasure.

The little songs about food, making up after a fight
Taking me in your arms, touching my face and TUESDAY NIGHT

The foot massages, caressing my toes,
Dinner cooking in the crock pot, smelling good when we walk in the door.

The "I Love You's" for no reason, telling me that you care,
Those sly come hither looks while you're sitting in your chair.

Oh it's the little things I treasure, how they brighten my day,
Laughing at "country folk," the scrabble games we play.

The big things mean a lot, but one thing is for sure,
The little things keep us together, and I'll love you forever more.

Lazy? Blame the weather!

2009-10-29T12:41:00.000+08:00

Woke up at 8am today, can't fall back to sleep as I'm feeling kinda giddy... so decided to get up.

It's been quite a while since I had got up so early in the morning...

As lately I've been sleeping 'till 1pm everyday... Full 12 hrs of beauty sleep hehehe...

It feels so good to snuggle inside the blanket in such a cold weather :)))

It'll be more perfect if Dear Dear was still sleeping next to me, but he had already left for work at 6.45am...

Hey~ Don't blame me for being such a sleeping beauty, blame Mr Sunshine for not doing his job to shine my buttocks LOL...

Ooooh~ It's another cold morning! It's below 15 degrees and it was super cloudy out there too...

Guess that Mr Sunshine would be on strike again for today hahaha...

Picture taken from the balcony...

My Marigold and Sunflower had withered since the starting of Fall... I don't even bother to throw them away hahaha...

I was too lazy and too cold to even change out of my PJs LOL...

Well, I'm home alone and no one was coming over to my place anyways... so why bother ;p

No wait~ Someone did drop by and saw me in my PJs and super messy hair... It's the UPS delivery man.

Whenever there's any UPS parcel delivered to my place... it's always the same delivery man.

I remembered just last week I was woken up at 10am by knockings on the door... and it was him delivering my parcel.

I jumped out of bed and tried my best to look wide awake before opening the door... but still he could tell that I had just woken up... *Damn*

Before leaving he even apologised to me for disturbing my beauty sleep LOL...

I guess this time round he purposely came in the afternoon, but he still caught me in my PJs and messy hair again LOL...

He must be thinking that this girl must be forever sleeping one lor LOL...

Me in my PJs with messy hair and posing with almost human size Super Sonic, which Dear Dear have won it for me at the Texas State Fair game last Summer :)

He won me a pair actually: Sonic and Tails... Ain't he great! hehehe...

Then I just spent my lazy day playing psp, facebooking, watching 福气又安康(Taiwanese drama), cook for dinner and patiently waiting for Dear Dear to come back home from work and hear him say, "Bao Bei! I'm home~ Mem...What ya cooking? It smells so good... I'm so hungry already!!!", then he would give me a hug and kisses me on the cheek :)))

This always completes my day :)

It's getting late, and Dear Dear was already in his dreamland... going to join him now.

Nitey :)

Busy Weekend

2009-10-27T05:01:00.000+08:00

The MIA girl is back!!! hahaha...

Busy busy me, what I've been up to lately... mem...

On Friday evening, went to attend air force base Deepavali celebration...

Also it's a farewell party for those who will be leaving back to Spore in Nov...

I Can't Believe that the next farewell event will be held for us... *Nooooooooooo*

Went to Agnes farewell gathering (potluck) at Summit leasing office in the evening on Saturday...

Me and Snow were in charge of the utensils...

The yummy food would be prepared by the other lovely wives...

I simply love Joyce's mee siam!!! As it's one of my favourite dish back in Spore...

And you just can't find it selling anywhere in Dallas :(

Even though it's super spicy (I'm not that knid of girl that can take spicy food... talk about being a Singaporean ya LOL...), I still managed to finish what's left inside my bowl hahaha...

By then, my whole face have turned red, having running nose and there's tears in my eyes due to the spiciness... But the feeling was so shiok!!! LOL...

'Till now my stomach was still screaming for Joyce's mee siam LOL... Hope I can get the recipe from her one day hehehe...

Right after the gathering, Dear Dear, me and Amelia headed off to Downtown Dallas to meet up her hubby and YY... As Downtown was having the Halloween costume party.

We reached there about 9pm just as the costume parade had started... and it was super super crowed by then, but we still managed to find a good spot :)

I've never been to any of the Halloween party before... and it's Wow~ super super happening in the States!

There were people dressed up as characters, cross dressing (which leaves us very confused!), hideous costume to just wearing an underpants?!

Anyways, check out the pictures and you will know what I'm talking about hahaha...

On Sunday, having farewell lunch for Dear Dear's trade at Teppanyaki Grill in Lewisville...

It should be our treat, but in the end Major Aaron beat us 1st in paying the bills...

So we decided to buy him a gift instead...

After lunch, me and Dear Dear went to Grapevine to shop for the gift and also gotten ourself Aeropostale T-shirts, 2 for $15... Yeah~

Got to go now... Need to babysit Agnes's two little darlings: Andrea and Alex... Going to play Wii with them later on... hehehe...

Bring home with a smile on my face

2009-10-21T12:28:00.000+08:00

Today, Dear Dear will be going to the airforce base for his hearing test and I'm tagging along hehehe...

I remembered the 1st time I went there was more than a year ago, to apply for our military passes...

Wanted to shop for beauty product at BX (Tax Free store) and also to get our Disneyworld and Universal studio tickets for our December trip. (Yes! We are going to Florida!!!)

And I've gotten myself a shopping companion too, Amelia :))) I'm so excited already hehehe...

As her hubby, Seow Tiong will be having his hearing test together with Dear Dear at 1pm...

Dear Dear didn't drive his car to work in the morning, as he car pool with one of his colleague, Nelson.

So my job for the day was to drive our car to Amelia's place at 12pm and her hubby would drive us there, which was an hour away...

The day before, Dear Dear had told me that there's some problem with our car's battery... telling me to take note of it...

When I start up the car... it took me much longer time than usual to start up the engine.

Our car sounded like someone was clearing his throat and having a long cough at the same time **Ah hem.... cough... cough... cough...** Damn scary ok!

Dear Dear had always remind me to warm up the car for at least 5 mins, 1st thing in the morning before driving...

This time round to play safe I let the engine to run for at least 10 mins...

Even though it's a short distant from my apartment to Amelia's place, I'm really afraid that my car would just suddenly die on me in the middle of the road lor...

Heng ar... Nothing happen and it's a smooth drive to the air force base too :)))

After dropping us at the BX store, our hubbies went for their hearing test at the medical centre and it's shopping time LOL...

The store sells variety of things from daily products, clothing and shoes, electrical appliances, branded bags, beauty products etc...

But in the end we ended up at the Origins booth and it took us like forever to decided what we wanted... 'cause all the Origins products are so awesome and so much cheaper!

My new collection of Origins :) Spent about $66(tax free) and gotten a free trial size ginger body cream...

After a few hours of shopping in BX, we went over to the bowling centre to get my Disneyworld and Universal tickets...

Didn't managed to get anything as the Hopper package for Disneyworld was all sold out at the moment :(

Was being told to wait for about 7 - 10 days for the new stack of tickets to arrive... Hopefully I can get it by then *fingers cross*

After about 3 hours of waiting... our hubbies didn't even have the hearing test done yet, and they were being told to leave. What a waste of time lor...

Luckily, Dear Dear don't have to report back to work hehehe...

And after meeting up with our hubbies, we had our lunch at Burger King... Then Dear Dear drove us to the supermarket and did some grocery...

A big thank you to Amelia's coupon, spent about $3 here... It's like getting the Angel Soft and the rest comes with it for free hehehe...

Our shopping fevers were still not over yet LOL... and we were heading our way to Walgreen.

After Dear Dear had dropped us at the store, he actually wanted to head back home 1st to change into his home clothes before fetching us back home...

But he ended up at the car workshop to change the car battery, as he felt that our car was going to die anytime soon...

Spent another $150 for the new car battery... haiz *heart pain*

It's my 1st time "playing" with the register rewards(RR) in Walgreen... Fork out $5.50 on these and got back $4 RR. Which means to say I paid for $1.50 on the stuff...

Mem... but I still prefer shopping in CVS!

My whole collection of Origins - My One big happy family :)

Can't wait to try on the Drink Up mask and the Make a Difference moisturizer already hehehe...

Heard that between from 1am to 6am there's meteor shower, not sure if I'm able to stay awake the whole night (Dear Dear was already fast asleep now). But the weather in Dallas doesn't look so good as the whole sky was super cloudy. Well, we'll see...

Weekends Super Buys

2009-10-19T12:49:00.001+08:00

Didn't step into any shopping malls over the weekend, only went to supermarkets to get grocery... and here's our buy :)

Air Wick I-Motion Stater Kit at $5.99 (original price at $13+), having price cut at local Target stores.

I've used $6 coupon in the 9/13 SmartSource insert (Thanks to Moneysavingmom.com) and so it's free after coupon!

Even the cashier was amazed at our buy, as I saw her took one good look again at our coupon and raised both her eyebrows hahaha...

We walked home with something in our hands but not a single penny came out from our wallets... How cool was that!

We always feel satisfactory even though it's not our 1st time getting free stuff. We don't really feel paisei when it comes to free stuff, especially me as I have super thick skin LOL...

When we got home, Dear Dear had placed the kit in our closet... now our whole closet and bathroom smell super nice *Xiang Xiang* :)))

Have been flipping through my huge stack of coupons and found one more $6 off coupon (SmartSource 8/30 insert). Hope Dear Dear will be able to get it for me after his work tomorrow hehehe...

Oh ya... the offer is till Nov 4th and if you got the coupon, go and get it! :)

The day before, we went to Ulta and I bought one eye shadow brush and one angle eye shadow brush for $10. As Ulta was having promotion for buy one get one free, plus I've gotten a 20% off coupon...

Not sure if it's a good buy, but I find the brushes quality wasn't that bad...

Then right after midnight, went to 24 hrs CVS do our weekly shopping... We doesn't always shop during the wee hours, only if there's really good stuff (needed to grab them 1st as they'll runs out fast) and also to have an excuse not to wake up so early the next day LOL...

Only spent $1.50 on these... but still not satisfy with it as I've missed out one 50cents off coupon for the Nestle purelife water. Arghh... Haiz... Why...

Phew~ Feels much better liao... Thanks for hearing me whine ;p

Dear's 26th Birthday + A Surprise for Me

2009-10-15T12:52:00.000+08:00

Dear Dear was having his day off yesterday, as it was his Birthday Day (October 13th)...

Yup, Dear Dear is another year older now...

Happy 26th Birthday Dear Dear!!! *Muackz*

We didn't go anywhere in the afternoon, decided to stay at home as there's no where for us to go too.

We have already done our shopping for three consecutive days over the weekend...

Already shop till sian liao LOL...

Plus, I wasn't feeling well too...

Having menses cramps and feeling very tired...

Luckily, we had celebrated Dear Dear's birthday last Friday :)

Dear Dear went out to buy my favourite fast food (Chick-fil-a) for our lunch...

After lunch, Dear Dear told me that he needed to go out again as he needed to get his working stuff fixed somewhere...

Dear Dear didn't ask me to follow him (I didn't want to tag along either) and so I stayed home...

When Dear Dear got home, he had gotten himself a hair cut too... *Nice*

I was using my laptop when suddenly Dear Dear walked over, stood in front of me and telling me to close my eyes and don't tried to peep...

I love it when Dear Dear does that, 'cause this always means that he's giving me a surprise!!!WooHoo~

I love surprises!!!

Feeling super excited, I obediently close my eyes and I heard the sounds of plastic bag in the background...

Before I knew it... I felt something was being placed on my face and in my heart I somehow knew what it was ;p

Everything turned pink when Dear Dear told me that I could opened up my eyes...

I knew it... Dear Dear got me a pair of sunglasses!

I quickly dash into the bathroom and looked myself in the mirror...

Omg! It's the Oakley Breathless sunglasses in berry color that I've always wanted!!!

Dear Dear was standing outside the bathroom door watching me being so happy and surprise, he said with a smile, "See not only you know how to give surprise yo, I know that too...".

I immediately gave Dear Dear a big bear hug... He's the greatest hubby in the world wide world!!! :)))

Dear Dear had apparently went out to collect my surprise from Yanwen that afternoon...

Wanna know how Dear Dear got me my surprise? hehehe...

On Saturday, when Dear Dear was home from work he told me that Yanwen had called him as she couldn't reached me...

Silly me, I've accidentally left my cell phone inside the pocket of my jacket and it was hanging in the closet... so I didn't heard it rung at all...

But I knew what it was all about...

As Yanwen would be going to San Marcos outlet, I've asked her to help me to look out for Oakley breathless sunglasses if it was on sale for $69...

I've been waiting for it to go on sale 'till my neck was already as long as a giraffe lor LOL...

I guess, it was then that Dear Dear have secretly told Yanwen not to let me know that she had actually bought the glasses...

The cutest thing was she even MSN me the same night telling me that she didn't managed to get the glasses as it was the last piece, and it was already sold out.

Feeling kind of disappointed, I told Dear Dear about it and he was like, "oh~ is it?" and he just shrugged his shoulder...

Then for the next two days, cheeky Dear Dear even brought me to Oakley vault store at Grapevine and Allen to check the sunglasses ok... But Breathless was still selling at original price at $185 in the shops over here. Super expensive right... really can't bear to buy at such price lor...

Isn't my Dear Dear one hell of a good actor LOL...

He really had everything all planned out nicely hahaha...

That's what I love about him, also full of surprises and they are all just for me :)

Yeah~ Finally I've own it... Thanks Dear!!!

***

Then it was dinner time... and we had decided to dine out.

Since it Dear Dear's big day... wanted to eat good western food.

So I've searched online forum and found this ranking #8 fine dinning restaurant in Dallas - The Place at perry's.

It said to serve one of the best steak in Dallas... and steak is Dear Dear's all time favourite :)

When Dear Dear saw me so nicely dress, he also put on his best shirt too hahaha...

Dinner at The Place at Perry's

Wow~ the prices not cheap ley... no wonder it's called FINE dinning LOL...

We had calamari for appetizer and it was the Best calamari we ever had!!!

Crunchy on the outside, soft soft on the inside... Mem... excellent!!!

Here comes our dinner...

Their steak was indeed excellent and perfect!!! *Yummy*

I'm having Jumbo tiger prawns pasta...

Did I mention how huge the prawns were? They were the size of my palm!

And I love it... the prawns were super fresh and fat!!!

The restaurant have a corner that you can leave your comments on the pin board... and I've joined in the fun too before we left hehehe...

What a wonderful day :)

Love Equation for the day:

Dear Dear + Bao Bei = "Xin Fu"

Surprise 26th Birthday Party for Hubby

2009-10-11T12:56:00.000+08:00

For these pass few weeks, I've been pretty busy and super secretive....

Mem... what am I up too??? *Grin*

I'm throwing Dear Dear a surprise birthday party!!!

Believe it or not, for so many years being together, I've never once gave Dear Dear any birthday surprises at all...

Only gotten him presents for his birthday or even worse Nothing!

During his 25th birthday last year, we didn't celebrate and I didn't even bought him any present!

Although Dear Dear kept on assuring me that it's ok and he's happy just as long as I'm with him...

Still I can't help but to feel so so guilty and for being such a bad wife...

So this year, I'm going to make it up to him :)

And the secret mission had begun as I needed to do everything hush hush... *Shhh*

1st I needed to choose a present...

Decided to get Dear Dear a notebook as he had been bugging me for months to let him buy one for himself.

Seriously, I'm a complete idiot when it comes to computer stuff...

I needed to seek help from the professional badly...

Thanks to my two expert friends: Alex and Daniel, they found me two wonderful notebooks :)

Acer Aspire One D150-1920 and ASUS Eee PC Seashell 1005HA.

Now all I had to do was to choose one of these... What a tough choice to make!

In the end, I've chosen the ASUS notebook as it comes with a free travel kit hehehe...

Here comes another problem... As I'm using my own pocket money plus I don't have my own USA account, so I needed to ask someone to make payment for me 1st.

I've asked Amelia for the favour and she was very sweet helping me making the payment... Thanks alot girl :)

And to play safe, I needed to ship the notebook to Alex's apartment as Dear Dear would be working night shift for the week.

I certainly don't want the mail man came knocking on the door and Dear Dear's the one receiving the parcel, then my surprise would be ruin...

Dear Dear's birthday day falls on October 13th and I'm a little concern that the notebook might arrived late, as I've placed the order on October 1st (needed to minus off the weekends and public holiday)...

But guess what... my parcel arrived much early then I expected (arrived on Oct 6th)! Wow~ UPS super hardworking man hahaha...This was a perfect timing as I'll be planning the surprise party on October 9th!

I quickly started to wrap the present once I've collected the parcel from Alex, and it's hide and seek time!!! hehehe...

I've hidden the present in our closet and behind boxes of my new clothes. 'Cause I'm 100% sure that Dear Dear would never go through my stuff and so my present would be safe hiding there LOL...

Next, I've decided to set the venue at our cosy little home...

As I've always have the whole house all to myself and it'll be more easy for me to plan and set up everything...

Dear Dear told me that his working shift had changed to morning shift on Friday (October 9th). Therefore, I've decided to plan the surprise on Friday, as Monday was a public holiday and he'll be taking day off during his birthday on Tuesday.

So a surprise on Friday the 9th sounds pretty good :)))

***

On Thursday night, I purposely ask Dear Dear if he's upset about the "no present, no celebration again" for this year birthday to test water hehehe...

While holding me in his arms he replied, "Nah... How can I be upset when I've already gotten the best present in the world, and that's you... Just as long as you are with me, I'm the happiest man in the whole world..." and he kisses me on my forehead :)

Ain't he sweet... Already can't wait for Friday to come and see his expression when he had seen the surprises I've in store for him hehehe...

***

I've been bugging Dear Dear to let me used the car on Friday, and he was feeling kind of weird on why I needed to use the car particularly on that day. Luckily, he didn't suspect I was up to something in my sleeves hehehe...

On Friday, I've woke up at 9am to start decorating the house when Dear Dear was off to work. As promised, he left the car for me to use while he car pool with one of his colleague.

Didn't want to spend a bomb on the decoration, so I've used some of my scrapbooking stuff to do the letters and numberings. Have also dug out the Xmas lightnings which we gotten it on last year after Xmas sale, and the Happy Birthday banner was from the Dollar Tree shop.

Then I've put up the decorations in our living room's window and... Tada~ not too bad right? hehehe...

The weather was not so good in that morning as it was raining... Luckily my prayer was heard, once the rain had stopped I quickly drove out to collect the birthday cake from Mozart, get some grocery for the dinner and some balloons from Dollar Tree shop.

It's was about 1.30pm when I've reached home and I needed to finish up the rest of the decorations asap...

Again, I've used some of my scrapbooking stuff and handmade a birthday cake together with some ribbons and the balloons. This time round I''ll be putting up the decorations at the fireplace...

Lastly, I've done a handmade stand up menu, also bought a table cloth and candles for the birthday cake...

Wondering what's on the menu?

[ Celebrating Dear Dear's 26th Birthday

October 13th, 2009

-Main Course-

Fried Tofu with Scallops and Sweet Fish Roe Toppings

Ma's Lion Heads (Shi Zi Tou)

Honey BBQ chicken with Five Spices Powder

Oatmeal Butter Fish

-Dessert-

Mango Sago

-Surprise-

The Chief: Bao Bei ]

I've never once cook any one of them before - my very 1st attempt, wanted to cook something special for him and hopes they'll turn out good hehehe...

Finally with all the decorations done, it's time to start cooking and it's 4pm already. Needed to act fast now...

***

Dear Dear was home around 6 plus... When I heard him unlocking the front door, I quickly dashed out of the kitchen (and yes, I still haven't finished my cooking yet) and yell "SURPRISE!!!", once he had entered the house.

He was a bit shock for that moment, and was like "what's going on here?". But after he saw the decorations, he held out his arms with tears in his eyes, asking me if these were all for him and said that he wanted to cry...

I quickly ran into his arms, gave him a kiss on the cheeks and said, "Yes... and I hope you like it... Happy Birthday Dear..." At that moment I felt like crying too...

I'm a bit surprise when I saw his eyes turning red and there's tears in his eyes, as Dear Dear doesn't cry that easily... Guess that my surprise had indeed touched his heart :)

***

Then I'm back to my cooking again and it took me more than 4 hrs to finish everything... Really felt like cooking "ma han quan xi" for the emperor man... Super exhausting!

I've gotten a little surprise from Dear Dear too :) Once I've finished the cooking, Dear Dear told me to close my eyes and he led me into the bed room. When I opened my eyes, I saw glow in the dark sticks being form into star, LOVE and arrows! The arrows were pointing to my side of the bed, so that during the night when I needed to go to the bathroom I'll know my way and wouldn't bump into anything... Dear Dear was so so thoughtful and I love it!!!

A bubble bath was just perfect before our dinner...

Wanted to look nice for Dear Dear so I put on a dress... and it's photo shooting time!!!

My cooking was a success too!!! So proud of myself hehehe... Also a big thank you to Amelia for giving me some of her curry leaves, else I can't prepare for the Oatmeal butter fish :)

Dear Dear wasn't a dessert fan but he love my mango sago as the sweetness was just perfect for him hehehe...

After Dinner, Dear Dear was asking me about the "surprise" in the menu...

I told Dear Dear that he needed to put on the eye mask 1st and naughty Dear Dear kept on peeping what I was doing. I warned him if he tries to peep again, his surprise would be confiscated and it works like a charm LOL...

With Dear Dear being blind folded, I went to get his birthday present from the hiding place and set up the cake...

Dear Dear was soooooo touched again :)))

I did video down during this moment, but not sure why he suddenly acted so faked when the camera was turned on LOL... and so I'm wouldn't be posting the video.

I've asked Dear Dear what he had wished for, but he said it was a secret and that he's very greedy, wishing for another 3 more wishes on his 3rd birthday wish hahaha... He so cheeky right?

And so it's time to unwrap the present, I asked Dear Dear if he likes the present and he said he doesn't like it but he love it instead!!! Yeah~

The birthday surprise was a huge success!!! Seeing Dear Dear being so touched and happy, although it's tiring and I've killed some of my brain cells while planning the birthday surprise LOL... But it's all totally worth it :)))

Are you planning a surprise too? All the best and enjoy the special moments with that special someone :)

It's Saturday and my Dear have to work...

2009-10-11T05:49:00.000+08:00

It's a lovely Saturday and Dear Dear have to work... *sian*

Dear Dear starts work at 8am and he was almost late for work today...

He apparently went back to sleep when his alarm clock went off...

Luckily, I have set my alarm clock at 7am.

Today, I woke up so early as I needed to wait for a friend to drop by...

Champ is here to stay for the long weekend (^_^)

Alex will be away to Missouri to visit the Precious Moments Chapel.

Mem... not sure when Dear Dear will bring me there for a little visit too...

One sleepily Champ...

It's going to be a long weekend this week as Monday is the Columbus day...

Plus, Dear Dear will be having his Birthday off on Tuesday...

Too bad Dear Dear can't apply leave to travel out of Dallas, else we're already enjoying ourselves somewhere in the States for a short get away...

And so we are stuck at home...

Which also means that we'll be doing more shopping!!! Whahaha...

As crazy sales will be everywhere during public holidays in the States...

So good right hor... so many holidays in USA and you can really grab alot of good deals.

Yeah~ Finally Dear Dear is home at 5pm plus...

Champ is super happy to see Dear Dear home too and he's showing off his soft toy car...

Realise that he likes to show off his car to us whenever he's excited hahaha...

He's so so cute :)

Later will be going to Ulta as I've received their $5 off $10 coupon... Hope there's good stuff.

By the way, yesterday did an online ordering from F21 again...

Alot of new stuff on sales and they are super cheap... Only spent $25 on these :)

I'm one happy girl again LOL...

Miss grumpy is back again!

2009-10-06T00:46:00.000+08:00

Have been sort of busy these few days and also got no mood to blog or do practically anything...

I've been feeling very weird lately... Super super grumpy and having mood swing :(

I can be happy then suddenly very hot tempered...

Blame it on the gloomy weather?

Blame it on my PMS coming?

Blame it on the nasty germs that are attacking my body?

Can someone please tell me the answer... why am I behaving like this?!

The right side of my mouth is cracking and it's super ugly...

It hurts whenever I wanted to open my mouth...

I hope the crack will not evolve into a bigger mouth lor...

I haven't been sleeping well too...

Kept on waking up in the middle of the night like a hundreds times!

Grumpy... Grumpy... Grumpy!!!

My whole body feels hot for the pass few days, heng no fever.

So Dear Dear went to buy "liang cha" for me to drink yesterday...

At 1st, thought that the drink was bitter and I was kind of resisting to drink it...

Took a sip and it tasted sweet!

Maybe it was because Dear Dear made the drink for me :)

I have been drinking it for two days, but my body still feels heaty... *haiz*

Maybe I needed to drink more of it?

Dear Dear is on his way home now... and he's buying me MacFlurry. My favourite~

I know... eating ice-cream in such a cold weather?! *20 degree Celsius now*

I also feel strange why Dear Dear will buy it for me...

Well, since he said so.... How can I said no right hehehe...

Not feeling well...

2009-10-01T22:15:00.000+08:00

I feel like crap today...

Only have a few hrs of sleep yesterday...

Didn't have a good night sleep... feel hot when cover blanket, feel cold when don't cover...

Feel like my body is burning...

Thought I'm having fever...

Woke up at 7am just when Dear Dear left for work...

Every morning Dear Dear will ask me if I'm not feeling well or anything, I told him I'm ok...

But Acutally I'm not...

Also woken up by the hunger, wanted to ignore it and go back to sleep but can't.

After eating breakfast, still feeling hungry but can't eat anymore 'cause feel like throwing up...

Think my stomach inside got a very fussy worm...

I hate today's weather...

The whole sky is now filled with dark clouds, but not raining...

There's wind blowing out there, went to turn off the air condition and open the window to let cool air in...

Guess what?! No wind was blowing in and my house suddenly was so stuffy...

Feeling angry, went to turn back on the air condition...

Not sure why I'm having bad temper since yesterday night...

Also feeling so tried these feel days, gotten me no mood to cook but I still cook anyways...

But they were all crappy food...

PMS coming or going to fall sick soon?

I HATE these feelings!!!

Want to be myself again...

Forever21

2009-09-29T12:22:00.001+08:00

Talk about being broke and wanting to stop spending...

My hands were itching and my shopping fever was running high again LOL...

I was browsing through Forever 21 wedsite and went to check out their sale section.

OMG! Saw a couple of clothings that I like and they were on 50% off sale and after the discount, they were like all below USD$10. Very cheap~ *singing*

Heard that Angel would be ordering from online, so decided to tag along with her order as spent over USD$75 would be free shipping :)

Summer dress

Denim Skirt.

This romper was not on sale, but I always have a soft spot for jumper, teddies and romper hehehe...

I placed the order when Dear Dear was at work and I didn't even ask for permission if I can get anything from F21, I just go ahead and place order LOL...

Then after which it just slip my mind hehehe... Until Angel sent me a msn saying that she have placed order and the total amount.

Dear Dear was already home from work and was sitting beside me when he over looked my msn. He was like, "What's that amount of money for? You bought something and you didn't even ASK me?!"

I was very surprise when he said that and a little upset at the same time. I said, "Huh... 'cause I already know your answer and you always said buy one... Since when you want me to ask for permission 1st?" *Give him sad face*

This came his replied,"Haiz... What I mean was, you always ask for my opinion whether the clothes suits you or not ma... Just puzzle that why this time round you didn't ask for my opinion lor... Aiyo, what are you thinking ley... so silly."

Opps~ have gotten the wrong idea hahaha... I then immediately gave him my most cheekiest smile LOL...

I wanted to show Dear Dear what I'm getting online, but he said he prefers me wearing for him to see instead :) But in the end, I still wanted him to see what I've got and still wanting his opinion very much hehehe... And he likes all of them! *Phew*

It's all about VS

2009-09-28T11:08:00.000+08:00

A couples of days ago, I've received Victoria's secret coupon of 10 PINK panties for $25. Since then, I've been struggling whether if I should get them. It's a very very good deal as VS panties are like super expensive but... we are actually kinda broke now hehehe...

In the end, it was Dear Dear who psycho and persuaded me into buying them. He was like "Buy! Buy! Buy! Where can you get such good deals in Singapore?! Moreover, good material panties are not cheap selling in Singapore too... Plus, IT'S VS ley!!! Singapore don't have this brand also and you can stock them up anyways. I don't care, let's go and get them!"

Since he said so, guess that there's no harm in getting the panties le LOL...

Whenever I wanna buy anything or indecisive in getting anything , Dear Dear will always said "Ok, buy". Never once rejected me in buying anything...

Sometimes when he saw something that he likes and it'll look nice on me, he'll want to buy it for me. In the end, I'll be the one saying "I don't want, very expansive!".

He's the sweetest hubby, always adoring me so so much :) But it's also means that I need to have some self control too, 'cause I know these are all Dear Dear's hard earn money...

Today, we went to Grapevine's VS but there's not much size left for me and so we headed to Galleria instead. When we got there, the shop was about to close for the day but we still managed to get want we wanted.

Before we left, Dear Dear was like looking around in the PINK section. Mem... what was he looking for?

He was actually looking for any nice bling bling hoodie for me. He wanted to get me a PINK bling bling hoodie for me a loooong time ago but I kept on rejecting him LOL... The hoodies are all very nice but they are not cheap ok?!

But I guess in the future I'll have a PINK bling bling hoodie for sure, as Dear Dear told me that he'll definitely get me one whether I like it or not LOL...

Not going to pose any of the panties that I've got. 'Cause last time when I posted it, Dear Dear was like "Hey! Why you post your panty for the whole world to see ley?" hahaha... *tongue sticking out*

Whenever I shop at VS, I like to get their box 'cause it's free, also the box looks nice and very usable too :)

Then the sale lady was like asking which box I wanted as they have 2 designs now. Normally they have it in the light pink color, anyways she gave me both boxes.

I like the new dark pink box! It's small but very nice and cute, somemore got a pink rose on top. Feel like getting more of them hehehe...

Dear Dear will be working morning shift for this whole week, not sure if he'll come home slightly early tomorrow. If so, think we might go and get more panties from VS and also to get the free cutesy box. I'm so thick skin hor when coming to freebies, but it's in my nature ley LOL...

A lazy Saturday

2009-09-27T11:31:00.000+08:00

It's not the end of the month yet, and we are already officially broke hahaha... Decided to stay at home to get away from the temptation to spent money LOL...

We spent the lazy afternoon playing wii and serving the net. Then in the evening, we meet up with Ah Kam family to have dinner at VIP buffet.

Thanks to Ah Kam's coupon, we only needed to pay $4 for each person. Very cheap~

After dinner, we headed to Target supermarket.

Halloween is about a month away from now, and Halloween stuff are already up for grabs...

We came across the Halloween costume aisle and Dear Dear saw this cute bumble bee costume. I didn't force him to try on the costume yo, he volunteer himself hahaha...

I was laughing uncontrollably that it was so hard for me to take pictures of Dear Dear LOL...He was so ADORABLE!

Too bad this year Air Force base will not be celebrating Halloween...

When home, Dear Dear was playing with the function of our SLR Nikon camera. He wanted to capture the movement of lights in a darker place, and he handed me a touch light.

Tada~ and this is the result, not too bad right? hehehe...

Dear Dear drew a smiley face and he was too fast for the camera that he appears transparent hahaha... And now we know how to fake ghostly pictures too LOL...

It's tough capturing lights in the dark especially when capturing moving lights, but fear not as Dear Dear is getting the hang of taking pictures during the night hehehe...

Canada, Washington DC and NYC

2009-09-25T10:51:00.000+08:00

[September 11th 09]

Wake up super early to catch our flight at 6.30am.

It will be a 3hrs flight from Dallas to Newark airport.

After reaching Newark, went to collect our rented car and we were on our way to Montreal of Quebec.

[September 12th 09]

Notre-Dame an old catholic church at Montreal (Canada).

The interior of the church was magnificent!

The church's wedding chapel, was to be entered by wedding couples only. The security guard was very nice, he allowed us to enter the chapel for a better shot :) We feel so bless!!!

Next we were heading to Niagara Fall (USA - New York), which was another 7hrs of driving.

[September 13th 09]

The waterfalls (behind us is the American Fall) was so spectacular that I kept on saying "WOW!" like a hundred times. hahaha...

We were on Canadian side over looking the American Fall (left) and Horseshoe Fall (right). We even caught the beautiful rainbow!

Took the ferry to view the Niagara Falls, the waves were so strong that the whole boat was rocking back and forth!

It's time to get wet again as we get up close and personal with the waterfalls. The water gushing down was deafening and waters were splashing everywhere!

Then, we were like 23 stories below to see the white water. The speed of the water flow was so fast that it makes the water all bubbly and appears to be almost white in color.

Night shots of the Horseshoe Fall.

[September 14th 09]

The very next day, we went to Skylon tower for lunch buffet. Super proud of myself for not freaking out as I'm really afraid of heights. Dear Dear also praised me for being such a brave girl hehehe...

Top view of the Niagara Fall from the Skylon and we were about more than 200m above the ground. The view was even more amazing from the top.

Then it was again another 7 hrs of driving from up state New York to Washington DC...

[September 15th 09]

The white house.

Lincoln Memorial.

Gotten stuck there with giant Lincoln for like an hour due to the rain hahaha...

[September 16th 09]

The Reflecting Pool reflecting the Washington Monument.

[September 17th 09]

Back to our road trip again, this time round heading to NYC (5hrs drive).

Visit the world famous woman - The statue of liberty and she's so beautiful :)

Ellis Island.

Over here can really get a good view of NYC from the island.

I'm so thrill sitting on the Subway!

Times square.

Late at night still people mountain people sea, no wonder NY is called the city that never sleeps. hahaha...

Empire State.

One of the tallest building in NYC and we will be going up to the 86th floor to view the night lights of NYC in 360 degree!

So proud of myself again, never once freak out of the heights hehehe....

Don't the lightings looks like pieces of gold?!

[September 18th 09]

Central Park.

Think we only managed to walk 1/3 of the park, 'cause the park was super super huge!

Metropolitan museum of art.

[September 19th 09]

The famous Brooklyn bridge. Me and Dear Dear wearing the same "I love NY" T-shirts and we love being New Yorkers!!! Woo hoo~

One of the most happening street in town - The Wall Street.

The Wall Street Bull.

This is one super duper popular bull that we literally have to queue up to get a picture with it lor.

The used to be World Trade Centre.

There are actually more pictures of my trip, but I'll be uploading more details to my Facebook account instead. Too much pictures will cause my blog to hang. So if you are one of my Facebook friend, lucky you! hehehe...

Updates on my trip's pictures

2009-09-23T11:32:00.000+08:00

Today, gotten the rest of our trips pictures from Amelia.

Can you believe it, during our trip we have actually took a total of 3227 pictures!!!

I think we can set a world record for it liao LOL...

Don't know where and how to start editing the pictures man, all of them are so so nice! hahaha...

Dear Dear had figured out why our memory stick have auto remove all the pictures.

It's because Dear Dear took out the memory stick from our camera and inserted it straight into his cell phone.

With this, it causes the memory stick to self format, thus all pictures would be wiped out.

Next time we'll be more careful, no wait... I mean it will definitely not happen again! NEVER!

Dear Dear right now is toying with his SLR Nikon camera, got to be his model for the shots. hehehe...

Taken this picture at the balcony and our night shot super nice right? hehehe...

Long nails be gone

2009-09-22T11:51:00.000+08:00

Before going off to our trip, needed to bring Chocolate Chips for his nails trimmed at Petland.

He's can be a very naughty rabbit. He doesn't like to be held so trying to trim his nails will be a tough job for me, not that I haven't tried it before. And so I'll leave the mission impossible to the professional LOL...

See his nails super long right?!

It's not the 1st time that we have brought him out for his nail trimming, so I'm not worried about him being all stress up.

A curious rabbit and having short memories, I don't have to force him into the portable cage. He just happily hopped into the cage and only managed to realise that something was wrong when I closed the cage door LOL...

On our way, had to tell Dear Dear to slow down his driving as I could practically hear Chocolate Chip's sliding inside his portable cage lor hahaha...

And we have reached Petland.

Ain't the puppies cute :)

The parrots and the birds were not all caged up, they were placed in big fish tanks. I wonder why they wouldn't fly away... *scratching head*

We also decided to buy new toys for Chocolate chips so that he had something to chew on and play with when he's inside his cage. Even the toys for rabbits were so kawaii, and all of them were good for rabbit's teeth as their teeth tend to overgrow. And we bought the colourful hamburger for him.

One of the Petlands stuff comment that Chocolate Chips was nearly as big as her house cat, he always never fails to draw some attention and surprises LOL...

Gotten his nails trimmed and we were on our way home...

This is Chocolate Chips's play ground and he's such a big rabbit that his cage is way too small for him. Can't bear to lock him up in his small cage the whole time and so we've turn our used to be dinning area into his play pen instead.

Now he can hop in and out of his cage whenever he wants and super spacious for him to go all crazy.

Chocolate Chips is one big fat rabbit and there's no way he can hide his fatness, as it's super super obvious. It's even more obvious when he's laying down with his double chins and his big tummy will just pop out automatically LOL...

But I like him being so so fat, 'cause it's so damn cute. He really looks like a giant marshmallow man LOL...

Dear Dear had clean his cage before bringing him over to Angel's house and she will help us to take care of him when we were away.

But that day was hard to get him back into his cage. Dear Dear was like chasing him around for quite sometime, before he decided to hop back into the cage. Guess he must have sensed that we were up to no good LOL...

His new toy...

No freedom for him for the 9 whole days hehehe... Be a good boy :)

Pictures recovered!

2009-09-22T05:49:00.000+08:00

Here's some updates on the recovery of my trip's pictures.

Yesterday took us one whole day to recover back all the pictures, but we only managed to recover 90% of them. Some of the pictures were like too small if not certain parts of the pictures were grey off, else cant even view at all...

Still I a little disappointed, but Dear Dear said that it's better than nothing. I totally agree with what he said. Dear Dear did what he have promised me, really love him to bites :)

I'm also glad that the technology nowadays are so advance - a big thank you to whoever invented all these stuff. You are a life saviour!

Well, now only awaiting to combined the rest of the pictures with Amelia's. So stay tune for the pictures k? hehehe...

Have to go out to do marketing liao, our fridge is like super empty. Ciao~

I'M BACK!!! But......

2009-09-21T01:47:00.000+08:00

Hi everyone, I'm back from my 9 days trip!!!

To me, it doesn't seems like I've been gone for 9 whole days. Time really flies with a blink of an eye. Haiz...

Having lotsa fun and laughter during the trips, especially with the company of the lovely couple, Amelia and Seow Tiong :)

We reached home at around 11pm yesterday night, super exhausted but it's all worth it :)

But something horrible happened yesterday. When I got out from the shower, saw Dear Dear sitting in front of the laptop with his face turning white and dripping with sweat. Went to check out on him as I thought that he was sick.

Dear Dear was fine but he told me that 90% of our trip pictures have been wiped out! He was actually breaking out with cold sweat and feeling very nervous because he scared that I'll be very mad at him.

When I saw his reaction, how can I stayed mad at him !? Feel like laughing out loud at him for being so so silly...

Dear Dear kept on apologising to me, even though it was not his fault - it was nobody's fault... Our camera's memory stick and my laptop both have just gone haywire at the same time.

But then reality had strike me, our precious and beautiful pictures were all gone! And I'm getting more and more depressed as minute goes by...

Without the pictures were just as good as a meaningless trip. I even feel more bad as certain pictures of Amelia and Seow Tiong were only store inside our camera. Why is this happening to me!!! WHY!!!

I broke down and cry just before going to bed, 'cause it was too much for me to handle. You might think that they are just only pictures, but to me they are all my precious memories. I don't have a good set of brain, in fact a damn lousy one, and so pictures are very important to me. They are part of my brain... a part of me...

Dear Dear was very very sweet, seeing me so so upset he kept on promising me that he'll recover back all the pictures as best as he could. For the whole night, he was searching the web of the ways to recover back the pictures. "Xin Ku le" Dear Dear!!!

Didn't sleep well last night, and this morning Dear Dear went out to get the recover software and he' trying to fix it.

Now we are keeping our fingers cross and praying that we can recover back everything.

Just went to fetch Chocolate chips back home from Angel's house. Seems like he's getting a bit fatter too, or maybe I haven't seen him for a while ba... hahaha...

Off to NYC and Canada....

2009-09-11T13:36:00.000+08:00

I'll be MIA for a period of time... Having a time of my life in NYC and Canada really soon :)

Do check out my blog when I'm back ya! Don't worry, I'll be shouting out loud to let you all know that I'm back *wink*

Our flight will be in a couple of hrs time... and It's now 1amin the morning !!! Need to catch my beauty sleep...

See ya all soon and take care while I'm away k...

Love Chloe

2 more days to NYC

2009-09-10T12:27:00.000+08:00

Finally I've decided what to wear for my NYC trip, took me days to do it hahaha...

Most of my outfits are all new clothes, quickly throw them into the washing machine for a wash. I don't really like to wear new clothes if they ain't wash, it's a habit of mine. But I think it's a good habit, good for hygiene purpose, don't you think?

After took out some of the new clothes to wear for the trip, I still have 3 full boxes packed full with new ones. But that will not stop me from buying LOL... 'Cause average each pieces of clothing I've bought, they are all around USD$10 bucks. Dirt cheap ok! And most of them are well know brands. Can you find such deals in Spore? Nah~ Nope~ Never~

Today's dinner was nothing special, just chicken curry and minced pork omelet.

Guess what I've found inside my fridge - it's a mini watermelon! I bought it from Hmart like a month ago, and I've totally forgotten all about it. I bought it because I found that its super cute and its portion is perfect for the both of us. I hope it haven't gone bad.

Wow~ the inside was super red and it tasted super sweet! Will definitely buy it again. Then I've found 3 apples too, so I've decided to make watermelon+apple juice :)

The juice was super cooling for the body, which I needed it badly. I have 3 huge zits on my face. 2 of it was on both sides of my forehead and 1 of it was at the end of my eyebrows. Feel like cursing out loud LOL...

Tomorrow is Dear Dear's off day, will be super super busy. Need to bring Chocolate Chips to Petsland for his nail trimming and clean his cage. Dear Dear need to go for his hair cut, need to pack our luggage etc etc... And before we know it, we are off to NYC! Woo Hoo~

Sweet and Sour Pork

2009-09-09T10:31:00.000+08:00

This coming Thursday will be Dear Dear's guard off and Friday we'll be off to our NYC trip Yippee!!! I'm super excited already!!!

Will need to clear most of our food in the fridge before seting off, else everything will only goes to waste.

For today's dinner I'll be cooking sweet and sour pork and vegetables with egg soup.

When Dear Dear got home and the moment he stepped into the house, he said, "Bei~ what's for dinner? It smells sooooo good... I'm so hungry already!"

I must say, my sweet and sour pork taste very good yo~ Dear Dear loves it too... I've made it all from scratch without using those pre-paste, so proud of myself hehehe...

There's always the washing and cleaning part after all the cooking, and so you think I'll be the one washing? Nah~

My prince aka my slave will be doing all the hard work. He rules the kingdom and he also rules the kitchen LOL...

Dear Dear is always very automatic with the cleaning part, he will still wash and clean even if he's super duper tired after his hard day at work. Sometimes he'll even shoo me out of the kitchen when I wanted to help hahaha...

He's the best hubby in the world!!!!

Happy Labour Day!

2009-09-08T12:13:00.000+08:00

Happy Labour Day!

Also means that Dear Dear don't have to work for today. Yeah~

Wanted to start packing for our NYC trip this coming Friday. Decided to "dig out" new clothes to wear instead of the boring ones that I normally wear.

The picture you are about to see below may shock you...

Don't say that I didn't warn you...

Tada~ (Hope you are still with me hehehe...) Welcome to my closet and the stuff on the floor around me, they are all my new clothes. They are being chuck in boxes and most of it still living in their paper bags, and that's why I said that I needed to "dig out" my clothes LOL...

Dear Dear was done with most of his packing in our bedroom. When he poked his head through the closet door to check me out, he was quite shock at the sight and only managed to say "Wow..." hahaha...

Then I gave him my cheekiest smile, Dear Dear immediately knew what I was about to say. He waved his index finger, shake his head and he answered before I could even say a word,

"No no, don't say that you don't have enough new clothes to wear...."

He knows me too well *tongue sticking out*

I'm loaded with shoes too hehehe... 'cause shoes will always be a girl thing :)

Haiz... now you all know my dirty little secret Wahahaha...

A few hrs went by and I'm still stuck with all the mess... OMG! I still can't decided what to wear! I even start to whine and pleaded out to Dear Dear for help, but my hero didn't came to my rescue! 'Cause he knows my pattern, whatever he chose for me I'll be like "eeeee, not nice!" LOL...

Dear Dear told me to take my time packing as he caught me frowning at my clothes not sure what to do hahaha... Then he brought me out for dinner, leaving my mess behind hehehe...

Caught the beautiful sunset in Dallas... This is the biggest and the most beautiful "egg york" we've ever seen :)

Wanted to have Asian food for dinner, went to Secret Recipe but they were closed because of the public holiday... *Sad* Then we decided to settle our dinner at I love Pho (a Vietnamese restaurant) and it had been quite a while since we eat there. Dear Dear love their spicy beef noddle soup, I ordered myself shrimp and Taro shake :)

Yesterday, Amelia made pulut hitam for us (thanks girl!). This is my all time favourite dessert ok! It tasted good, will definitely try to cook it one day and hopes it will turns out as good as hers too!

Something about today

2009-09-06T11:56:00.001+08:00

Woke up at 1.30pm today, mem... didn't really sleep well last night :( As always Dear Dear was still sleeping away, can't blame him as he slept very late yesterday night.

Weekend is always the chief strike day for me hehehe... But today, I have the mood to cook for lunch and will let Dear Dear to sleep a couple of hrs more.

Today's lunch menu will be fried carrot cake (my very 1st attempt). Back in Spore, my mother-in-law will always buy it for us for lunch during the weekends. It's had been more than a year since we ate it. We miss it so so much and hope my carrot cake will turns out well :)

Tada~ My very own fried carrot cake. I was laughing my head off when I saw the outcome of the carrot cake. Ask me why? Well, it's pretty obvious right? LOL... Traditional carrot cake suppose to be in cubes, but mine was all mashed up that sticks together into a one whole cake. I even can style it into a heart shape! LOL...

Dear Dear was laughing at my silly cooking too hahaha... but he said that it tasted good, maybe less saltier and also in cubes would be great. Ok, will definitely improve the next time I cook it hehehe...

Went to Ulta and bought the travelling bottles (will come in handy for my trips) and the Pur minerals makeup for USD$28 after 20% coupon. Wanted to try out the minerals products, 'cause it's like the "must have" makeup for now. Was struggling between Bare and Pur minerals, but in the end got the Pur as it comes with a blusher.

After that, we headed off to Grapevine shopping mall.

Suddenly, very hungry so we decided to grab something light to eat. Yup, both of us are Auntie Anne's pretzel snobs and we are proud of it LOL...

As for today's dinner, will dine at La Madeliene at Macarthur. Heard that it quite similar to Delifrance and we've gotten ourselves a nice seat in front of the fire place.

I'm having chicken croissant and Dear Dear is having the tomato pasta. Well, Delifrance still tasted the best! I miss Delifrance alot alot and alot!

Look at Dear Dear's super cute expression LOL...

Dear Dear told me that I should have started my blog a long time ago, to write out all of our memories. I not sure if anyone will care or even bothers to read our story, but I know Dear Dear will always be my number 1 blogger fan!

And if you are reading my blog, wanted to say a big thank you to you 'cause it really means alot to me :)

I'm healthy again!

2009-09-05T12:16:00.000+08:00

Yesterday was a horrible day... Having nightmare followed by migraine, and to make things worse I've stomach upset and nausea all at the same time... I'm so sick that I even have to miss out yesterday's potluck at Agnes house. *sob sob*

Then for the rest of the day, after suffering migraine for at least 7 hrs, I'm down with a slight fever. What a rotten day huh...

Through out the night Dear Dear was very caring and sweet. He'll placed his hand on my forehead to check out my temperature, making sure that my fever didn't worsen :)

Today, I'm in the pink of health again... Yippee~

Today's dinner menu will be:

Crab meat omelette

Bakuteh with "you tiao"

For lunch will be: Toast with mashed banana.

Today is TGIF and also it will be a long weekend ahead for all of us! So enjoy and have a happy labour day in advance *wink*

My worst nightmare

2009-09-04T08:55:00.000+08:00

Dear Dear and I got into a fight.

A very silly fight that got us very hot headed with one another.

So hot headed that we ended up divorced.

And that's the end of our everlasting love,

The love of my life was gone.

Suddenly, I felt so lost.

My heart was aching,

it hurts more and more every time I breathe.

I'm suffocating...

Don't leave me!!!

Please...

It's 8am in the morning, I've woken up from my nightmare and broke into tears in bed. Dear Dear was woken up by my crying and he was shock to see me so upset. He immediately held me into his arms, holding me tightly. Then he uses his gentle voice assuring me that he's here to protect me and everything will be ok.

Dear Dear asked me what had happen and I only managed to choke out "you don't love me anymore..."

Dear Dear immediately knew that I was having a bad dream and he said, "You silly girl, It's just only a dream. A dream that will Never Ever come true. You are the love of my life and I adore you so so much, without you means I'm as good as a dying person. And I will never ever leave you... Never! Do you understand?" and he kisses me on my forehead.

His gentle voice, his strong embrace and his loving words that comes from the bottom of his heart...

I knew then that nothing can ever tear us apart and our love will continue on... 'till the end of time :)

What's your worst nightmare be?

It's good to have some company

2009-09-04T06:13:00.000+08:00

Wondering what I've been up to during last weekend? Well... we've got company!!! Champ drop by our house on Saturday night and we'll be babysitting him for over the weekend. 'Cause his owner, Alex will be on guard duty on Sunday.

We let Champ to sleep inside our bedroom, it seems like he wanted to jump into the bed together with us too. But I guess he knew that there's no more room left for him to sleep on LOL... and also we wouldn't allow him to...

Next morning I was woken up by a weeping sound. Opened my eyes and saw Champ's happy face staring back at me, gave him a little pat on the head and look at the clock. Gosh! It's only 8.30am! Champ refused to go back to sleep 'cause he wanted my attention. So I took Champ for his morning walk around our apartment just after his meal, while Dear Dear was still snoozing away.

Today's weather was excellent, so Dear Dear decided to bring us to the park - a dog park actually.

Preparing our simple lunch for our little picnic in the park. Dear Dear was slicing tomatoes and by looking at Champ's greedy face really can make you laugh...

Me in my cutesy apron and for today's lunch will be croissant stuffed with crab salad! *Yummy* So any takers? Mem... looks like someone was so interested in our lunch too LOL...

And we were on our way to Forth Woof Dog park (located at Forth worth), and Champ was very excited! He's such a smart doggie as he even knew which car belongs to us!

Champ doesn't really like to sit at the back alone, he prefers to squeeze his head between the front seats and the window LOL... He's so cute :)

Then he decided to squeeze in between us and he finally found himself a good seat. Good view in the front and also can enjoy the air condition too LOL...

Took us 45 mins to reach Forth worth but we couldn't find the dog park anywhere... So Dear Dear decided to take us to another Dog park at the White Rock Lake, which was another 45 mins of driving from where we were. *Faint*

Finally! We've reached the White Rock Lake Dog Park and I was amazed by the vending machine for pets, never ever seen one like this before.

The dog park was all fenced up and you can let your dog off the leash to run wild. But... we only went in for a minute as me and Dear Dear was suddenly surrounded by a lot of big dogs, 'cause they've smelled the food that we've brought along. Luckily, there's a bench outside the park where we can have our lunch at peace LOL...

Champ have made a new friend named Blue and this puppy was so so cute!

There's also a lake for dogs to swim in too which smells like dog poop. *Smelly* Champ was really envy that the other dogs can take a swim in the lake. Sorry Champ we don't want you to get all wet and you will smell bad too hahaha...

After which Dear Dear drove us acorss to the other side of the lake, and it was very pretty! Dear Dear told me that he have been wanting to bring me here a long time ago, but the weather was too hot this few months. It was a perfect day to hang out at the lake :) Thanks Dear!

Gotten a candid shot of Champ LOL...

When taking these pictures, Champ was creeping towards the water! Quickly pass the leash over to Dear Dear to pull him back. If not I guess Champ had already jumped into the water and taking a swimming in the lake. Sneaking doggie LOL...

The sun was almost setting and it's time to head home. Told Champ to be a good boy staying at home and we went out for our dinner.

Dear Dear was graving for steak, so we went to Salt grass for dinner and plus we have a $7 off coupon.

Taking pictures of Dear Dear while waiting for our food... He sure got alot of expression LOL...

Here comes over dinner *Slurp*

And so it's time to call it a day...

The next day (Monday), this time Champ didn't woke me up early in the morning. And most of the time he was napping away before Alex came to fetch him back home. Guess he must be pretty tried from his little adventure with us yesterday hehehe...

I quietly placed Champ's soft toys around him and took this picture while he was sleeping LOL...

These few days he has bring us a lot of laughter and I'm starting to miss this big guy already. Hopes to see you soon Champ!

Curry + Prata equals perfect

2009-09-03T12:27:00.000+08:00

Mem... which food always goes well with curry? Of course, Roti prata!!!

I'll be cooking curry chicken for dinner today, and since I've the curry gravy I decided to attempt to cook prata for lunch.

You should have seem the delight cum surprise cum excited face when I brought out the Prata to Dear Dear! He kept on saying "OMG! the prata tasted so good!" before he even starts to taste it lor LOL...

Prata has always been Dear Dear's favourite, and it's not everyday that we can get to eat prata in Dallas. 'Cause a piece of prata here cost more than USD$3 ok!

Noticed that I've gotten one burn prata? Accidentally over pan fried it hehehe... and Dear Dear was fighting over with me for that burned prata, as he likes the extra crispness to it LOL...

I have cook 2 pratas with eggs too, 'cause that's was Dear Dear favourite and it turns out super delicious :)

I like plain prata with sugar whereas Dear Dear like his prata with egg and pair it with curry. Dear Dear really loves the prata with eggs a lot a lot! He said he can eat 10 whole pieces of it and he already can't wait for the next time I cook prata for him again LOL...

After our lunch, Dear Dear keep on saying that he feels so so "xin fu"! Only a few pieces of prata already can made him feels so blessed LOL...

It's like a chinese saying, "To capture a man's heart, is to satisfy his tummy 1st" *Wink*

Off with my bangs

2009-09-02T13:13:00.000+08:00

I've been wanting to cut my hair before going to my Sept NYC trip, 'cause my hair was so lifeless and I want to look good for the camera hehehe...

Dear Dear was on night shift today and so I've book an appointment at 11am at the Hair mode Beauty (a Korean hair salon). Have been there once to cut my hair a few months back, and I quite like the hair dresser.

We were 15 mins early and so we went to the nearby Korean market, and they have this mini food court selling all Korean food. The food looks good though, maybe will give it a try one day :)

Wanted to get this Japanese hair cut (I even show it to my hair dresser, Yuki), which I got it from June 2008 ViVi magazine. It's very out dated I know but I still want to try out this hair style. I guess I have been drawn to the model here ba, 'cause she looks so pretty and I wanted to look like her LOL...

Cutting your hair in the States wasn't cheap... it cost me USD$25 which includes hair wash and that is the average price for a neighbourhood salon.

After my hair cut, we went to walmart to get harsh browns for this coming Thursday potluck at Agnes's house. Told Dear Dear to let me drive us there, and along the way I've got so irritated by Dear Dear, 'cause he really got a lot of opinion on my driving lor. In return I gave him a very blackened face and he gotten the hint LOL...

And so this is the out come of my new hair style. I quite like it in the 1st place, but the more I looked at it the more I feel ugly ley... What do you think?

Dear Dear said I look pretty and he likes it, but he described my hair style as "sha gua tuo" lor. *Faint* Dear Dear said that it might be because I'm still not used to the air style yet. I hope he's right hehehe...

Notice the curls at the end of my hair? My hair dresser curl it for me in which she only uses a hair dryer and a round brush and viola! I have those Korean look alike curls :)

After a million times of looking myself in the mirror and hopes tat my hair will grow back over the night, who am I kidding right LOL... It's time to cook for today's dinner.

Bean curd stuffed with marinated minced pork.
Broccoli with ham and bean sprout.
Egg with dried radish (1st time cooking this dish, turns out good)
Banana

All Dear Dear's favourite dish... anyways whatever I've cooked he always likes it :) I always have this habit of cooking at least 3 dishes for dinner and they are always good enough for at least 3 persons. So when I packed Dear Dear's food, I always have to force down the container's lid hehehe... Whenever I ask if the food is enough for him, he always replied "my stomach is exploding soon!" LOL...

My little bed time story...

2009-08-28T02:12:00.000+08:00

Before we both have fallen asleep, me and Dear Dear have a small talk yesterday night... I was in his strong arm and we chat about his current work...

Then he told me that how he wishes he can hold me in his arms every minute, every second, every moment, every time and always and always. But I told him if he does that, he can't go to work and there's no money for me to spent... I'm so realistic hor LOL...

"Dear have you ever feel like we have been together for so so long (3 more months and it will be our 9 yrs relationship anniversary) and have you ever once regret for being with me and just only me?" I asked.

Dear Dear looked me in the eyes and this is what he had said to me,

"Nope.Never. It's always seems like yesterday when we just started dating, and I never ever once regret. I'm so happy that I've finally win over your heart. I used to be a great boyfriend, now I'm a great husband and in the future I'll be a great daddy. So you are the only one that I want to be with forever..." Then he pointed his index finger and gave a little tap on my nose :)

Marketing with the ladies

2009-08-26T04:02:00.000+08:00

Went out at 9am on Sunday with Angel, Amelia and Bing Bing to CVS, Super Target and Walgreen. Dear Dear was still happily snoozing at home, but I rather go marketing with the ladies 'cause it's much more fun marketing with them hehehe...

Spent a total of USD$10 for all of these, still not very satisfy with the amount of money that I've spent. As I can actually get a much lower price if I hadn't lost my coupon file *sob sob* I know I should get over it but.... Haiz~

When I've gotten home around 12pm (Dear Dear was still in dreamland) and after having my lunch, I'm so tired that I had to drag myself to bed. These few days I had only a few hrs of sleep, but I'm not complaining yo ;p

Took 2 hrs of napping and guess what, Dear Dear can sleep for 14hrs lor! But for the rest of the day when we were out shopping, Dear Dear didn't even yawn a single time!!! And that was very unusual for him... I always called him the sleeping beauty as he's always so sleepy and sleeping LOL...

Yesterday went to marketing again with Angel and Amelia, gotten alot of cooking tips from them hehehe...

Went to yogurtland for some ice yogurt, perfect for this kind of hot weather :) This time round I didn't grab alot of yogurts and toppings as if having buffet for one price LOL... Have learnt my lesson, 'cause the yogurts were charged by oz hahaha...
