Regrets that I have

Recently I was so busy at work that I don't even have time for Xin Xin, which resulted one day she was so angry that I can't even spare her 10 mins to talk to her over the phone.

Just yesterday, Although it was my off day I still went over to work after a house visit with Xin Xin at her cousin's place. So she had to spend a few hours alone at my place which made me felt really guilty that I neglected her.

I think it's a punishment for me to dump her at my place yesterday that Xin Xin fell sick again. So worried wanted to take care of her but work got in the way again.

I suppose to go to a wedding dinner of a good friend of mine and as usual I can't make it due to work.

I'm so sorry Christine and Dongye! I hereby give you my blessings, Live happily ever after and had a blissful life :)

Sometimes, in life I am always catch in between this similar situations that I need to choose between work and something else. I think its my good karma that resulted me to that all my managers are really nice people, they treat me very well and most of the time I just find it hard to reject their requests.( or its just me, I just find it hard to say no to people.)

I always end up giving up a lot of my personal time for work. 

I'm so sorry my friends that I can't spend time with you all like how I used to be able to.

It's not that I don't wanna spend time with you all, It's just that my working hours are really weird. Most of my shift work I start at 1pm and ends at 10pm, which means I always can't make it for dinner gatherings, even I meet them for after dinner session, It will be too late too. Haizzz ( maybe it's just me finding excuses.)

I used to love this particular game called Mafia or werewolf that my close friends introduced to me but recently I really felt that I don't suit this game. 

Like some of them say I always get to personal, although its just a game. 

Which ends up that I always spoiling the mood of the game or made alot of my friends angry, disappointed and stuff, I just can't lie and I can't act or maybe I am just too dumb for this game.

So after a long consideration I think I will quit this game. ( Yes, I mean forever.)

Its a really nice game but I just have to give it up like a lot of others things in my life.

Anyway for friends that I offended, I hereby apologise! I'm so sorry. Haizzzz

This weekend is going to be over in like 8 hours time and I felt that I didn't accompany Xin Xin much.

She is now alone at home and sick. Haizz (Such a failure again...)

Bye!

Casual Updates

Things have being going really well between me and Xin Xin.

Just last week Xin Xin parents went overseas for a trip so they asked me to stay over at their place. (Xin Xin has a record of severe laziness!!!) asking me to take care of her, so I agreed.

I went over after work on a friday. Xin Xin was at home waiting for my arrival :)
I really enjoyed the time spent alone with Xin Xin even its just sitting side by side doing my own things.
We just enjoyed each others company alot.

On the second day, we both kinda fall sick. I caught a cold and Xin Xin got a migraine attack!!!
Xin Xin has a serious migraine condition.
Every time she got a attack its like her head gonna explode, she will feel like vomiting and without medication she will literally hit her head against a wall.
To prevent this from ever happening again, I'm always checking whether Xin Xin gets enough sleep, her usual supply of coffee and food.
I know there's isn't a permanent cure to migraine but how I hope there will be cure to rid Xin Xin of this terrible problems of hers.

Today is friday, which means I will get to see Xin Xin :) as usually she will be staying over at my place, I planned to bring her to USS tmr to see her favorite Oscar the Grouch from Sesame Street. Lets hope that I will be a nice and cooling day tmr :)

Don't have any photos to update recently as all of them are with Xin Xin.

Will be back with more post and photos.

Cya

Just Ranting :)

Good News to share!!! I finally gotten my loan for the EC @ Tampines that me and Xin Xin applied.

Which means we are now 600k in debt hahaha....

People had been shocked by the swift decision that I had made upon this.

Similar questions came flying to me. E.g "So Fast!!!", "Its a huge commitment", "Have you think through abt it" etc etc etc.

Of Course, there are blessings too. E.g "Wahh!!!!", "When are you all getting married?", "Congrats" etc etc.

To clear things up :)

1. Yes!!! I thought through it ages ago!

2. When it comes to commitment, there's isn't a period to gauge it. There isn't a "oh its only 6 months, I should not commit." or "Oh, it's already being 5 years, I think it's time to commit."

3. What I am trying to say is, we can't put a timeline on commitment. For us people we work with emotions, we let our feelings guide us. We actually committed even before we know it. For us who lives in Singapore, we tend we date longer because of the high cost of getting a flat. Its always the finance problem that get a hold on us.

We will be going to the lawyer's office to get the final procedure done :)

Recently, work have being taking a toll on me.

I not saying, I don't like my job.

It's just a particular committee that I am handling giving me some problems.

This particular guy is really hard to get through. I don't wanna go head on with him as it will definitely make my life even more miserable.

I admit that I do have my mistakes but if you can't communicate properly with you members, it ain't my problem, you should sort things out with them rather than getting me to relay your messages.

Also, I am here to assist you but I AM NOT YOUR PERSONAL ASSISTANT.

You don't call me as and when you like and request like to mediocre stuffs like printing some signs and kept calling me for a couple of days chasing for it. 

What I am saying is you better don't get on my nerves or I will be your worst enemy.

Thank you.

XXX Belated Bday Celebration

The birthday of me and my beauty both falls in the month of August and just 2 weeks apart. I was so fortunate to have my beauty celebrating my bday for me as mine falls on 8th of August which means its a holiday the next day :)

For my beauty due to her tiring working schedule and my tedious audit period, I was unable to celebrate her birthday with her on the exact day.

So we had to celebrate on a later date.

My Beauty told me its her 1st time celebrating her birthday belatedly :(.

In order to make up to her, I spent the extra time I had on finding a really good restaurant.
After a long time I finally found one, some place that serves good food with good ambience, excellent services attitude and where we can be private which much disturbance from the outside world.

The place is called The Clan Restaurant, its located at 18/20 Bukit Pasoh Road. (Its just right outside of outram MRT.)
Here are some pictures of the restaurant :)

This is a very special place as it doesn't have a ala carte menu, you can only choose a 5 course lunch or 6 course dinner. Which there are a few varieties for you to choose for each individual dishes from cold dish to dessert.

My Beloved, looking as pretty as always :)

After browsing the menu for a long 10 minutes, we finally decided on what we wanted :)
Something that they served us while we are waiting for our food!

Green Apple Sorbet

Really Nice Biscuits with Cheese Dips

Appetizers!

This is the only dish that you can't choose. On the left is a salmon paste cone, the centre one is grilled scallop and the most right one is a chawanmushi.

Cold Dishes

Baobei chose the Alaska King Crab with Homemade Karashi Dressing, While mine is 

Beef Carpaccio, if I remembered it correctly hahaha.

Its actually 3 slices of thin beef dipped in a really rich truffle and horseradish teriyaki sauce :)

Side Dishes

Baobei ordered the Deep Fried Foie Gras

Me, I ordered my favourite Soft Shell Crab :)

Soup

Baobei and me chose the Crab Bisqie Cappuccino. Its really good, I dont even know how to describe it but it GOOD!!! 

Main Dishes

 Since we both are beef lovers without even choosing we picked the Beef Short Ribs!!! Its actually cooking on a stone plate!!!!

Another picture of my beauty!!!

If you all cannot take the mushy mushy then its too bad :)

Desserts

Her favorite dessert Panna Cotta!

Me? as a chocolate lover, It Lava Cake with Raspberry.

Did I mention the service stuffs there was really meticulous?

Due to my work I was so busy than I forgotten to request from the restaurant that I need a cake. 

I went to the staff and said can you help me get a cake which I forgotten to tell them during the booking, He told me don't worry and said when I told him its for a birthday celebration he also prepared the cake for me.

OMG!!! what level of meticulous service is this! This dude really saved my day.

Its not a cake cake but its was enough to make my Beauty smiled Brightly :)

 She didnt want to tell me what her wishes are :(

Happy Birthday Baobei :)

Last photo, which we told under a random street light while we are leaving.

She looked so pretty in this picture :)

And I shall stop here or everyone will die of goosebumps hahahahaa.

Ciao!!

Our Own Holiday

Due to some stupid actions, I made My Dear really angry on the eve of Hari Raya.

To makeup for those stupid actions, I woke up  early yesterday got myself nicely dressed and decided to give My Dear a surprise visit.

As I was travelling to her place, I was thinking what I can give her to show that I'm truly sorry for what I did.
Then I remembered My Dear said she loves flowers and flowers I shall get her :) 

Its was the 1st time that I bought flowers for a girl so it took me quite awhile to decide, I even asked the florist what flowers should I get for apologizing to someone.

Here's the flowers that I picked :)

Reached My Dear's place ard 130pm and found out that she just woke up from her dad and asked him not to tell her I was there.

Caught her drinking her morning coffee and otaku-ing in the kitchen!

I slowly moved behind her and gave her tap on her shoulders. As she didnt had a good night sleep yesterday she was kinda grouchy. 

Presented her the flowers and said: " I'm sorry Baobei!"

Saw her pretty smile as I presented the flowers.

Sat down and told her I dont know what gone wrong with me yesterday.

She nagged at me for a while. But I was smiling inside :)

She really loved the flowers.

She posted the pic of the flowers on fb and It got a 33 likes. ( My amazing flowers :) LOL)

Went for dinner at Manhatten Fish market at Plaza Sing.

Baobei was making some funny faces hahahha.

Hahaha so cute! Such Beauty :)

We went to the watch the expendables 2 after that.

My Dear loves arnold LOL and the movie was fantastic! Non stop action!!!

Loved the old story plots, the dialogues, evey single on of those action stars from our time.

My Dear told me she was really happy yesterday, I was really happy too.

P.S Love you Baobei :)

Special Day

on 08/08/1984, I was born at alexander hospital if i didnt remember it wrongly LOL.

From the time I start to remember moments in my life, I always saw my family and relatives celebrating my birthday, my dad, mom and my beloved grandma :). Things took a change when I went to poly, I began to see friends celebrating my birthday, my 2 most trusted BROTHERS Ken and Jian, recently it expanded even further to Mrs Ong and Mom (A close friend that I call her mom hahaha). Times are were good, I remembered all the moments, the fun ,the irritation, the -_- moments, but I always wondered how does it feel celebrating with someone that loves me , not those family or friendship kind of love, I mean love.

This year on my 28th birthday, My wish finally came true. I had a beauty celebrating my birthday with me, her name is Xinyi :)

On the day of my birthday, I made a major decision. 

It took me sometime to consider about it. I kept asking myself questions and after some serious thinking ( which i seldom do)

I decided the spend the rest of my life with her, we bought a flat together.

Xinyi planned my birthday celebration which included a lot of surprises. Despite she was sick the day before, and had to wake up really early for work, she still carry on to celebrated my birthday. I was really touched :)

We checked into the hard rock hotel at Sentosa, we did some wash up and we went for my birthday dinner.

Xinyi was wearing a black lace dress that day ( see above photo), black was her usually colour but this day she just look extremely astonishing :)

She booked the sky dinner (We had dinner in the cable car) which was decorated with angry birds LOL after that dinner, we came to conclusion that we had enough angry birds for the our lifetime LOL.

Here the dinner we had ;) It was good.

After dinner, I knew Xinyi had a long day so I told her lets so back to the room and rest. So we went back wash up and was chatting to couch when someone knocked on my door.

We didnt order room service or anything, so we were both puzzled.

I decided to go answer the door. I didnt saw anyone as I opened the door then someone jumped out from the side!!! It was my BROTHERS, Ken, Mrs Ong, Jian and Mom.

I was shocked, but at the same time feeling happy and touched.

The truth was they planned a surprise celebration for me with Xinyi :) no wonder despite how tired Xinyi was she doesnt wanna rest.

They even brought a birthday cake, full chocolate with peppermint ice cream.

We all hanged out for a small chat and before we knew it, my birthday was over.

Soon my BROTHERS bid their farewell.

I looked at Xinyi and saw that she was really tired. I put her to bed  and told her I love her.

I never had a girlfriend to celebrate my birthday before it was a really amazing feeling and experience.

At the moment I realized I had someone who love me, someone who is not my family and friends.

Xinyi hates it when I PDA ( Public Display of Affection) but sometimes I feel by just telling her I love her isnt enough, I need to show the whole world I LOVE HER.

I will stop here today, Wishing all those born in the month of Aug happy birthday

P.S Next it will me celebrating Xinyi's Birthday.

P.P.S I LOVE YOU BAOBEI :)

Family :)

Went to view a showflat yesterday with Xinxin at Tampines. The place has a really nice name its call Trillant. Before we went to view the place, I kinda googled it and felt that the place was kinda out, but after yesterday I realised the map didnt do the place any justice, its really nice to the train stationa and bus station maybe abt 800m? and its smacked right at the center of tampines ard all the malls and banks.

After a  few rounds of discussion, me and Xinxin decided we want it as our home in the future. The pricing is quite reasonable, the installment will be paid through CPF and we dont need to pay an single cents in cash besides the 1st 5% down payment and 3% of stamp duty.

Never thought I will move to the east, as I being a westie since I start to understand and remember. We went for dinner at Sengbang Bedok with our friend Leon and his gf Fidelis. He recommended the chicken rice so we all went for it and I must say it tasted alot better than more of those hainanese chicken rice I had before. There also the coconut juice mixed with green wheat drink, its heavenly.

Since I was a bedok, I decided to go visit my Beloved Grandma and Granddad. The last time I visited them was during CNY..... Everyone at grandma place were so surprised to see me and Xinxin too as She was the 1st Gf I brought to grandma's place. 

This is the wedding picture of my grandma and granddad, they got married on 1952. 60years :)

I finally saw my youngest cousin!!!! 6 month old  Justin Gu Yu An, he is so adorable and really he do carries my family's blood, loves to play, no shy toward strangers and always smiling hahahah and he is like 120% resemble to my uncle.

Here's some pictures of him :) and I will end it off here!!! 

Ciao pple!!!
