Its a rainy day today.

I know why it rained! Because we didn't get to meet up... And also because my dad is sick. Does it always rain in December? I can't remember much. I only remember January is a rainy month because in the past, I usually wake up to the sound of heavy rain and my dad dropping me at school with the sky looking very dark and everywhere being very wet. And in primary school, I would wear slippers and rain coat with an umbrella (super kiasu) and walk to school with my brother and my maid. It was fun.

Today's entry is nothing much actually. This morning my brother and I went to send our dad to our "family doctor". Haha. Family because we have been seeing him since we were a baby? He has records of us with chicken pox and stuff. Hehe. And last time whenever I go for a consultation with him, I will not leave the room unless he gives me sweets. Nowadays his sweets are not so nice I think. Haha. He changed brand.

So this is how the clinic looks like!

 

Look! It has my initials. It seems that the doctor thought I was a very cute baby girl and decided to name his clinic after me :D

And ever wonder how the market I always go to look like? Well its a very distant shot. Better than nothing I guess. haha.

 

See that short HDB flats there? It's there! Haha. Very far I know. This market is opposite the road from the clinic.

And and and!!! You know last time I was placed in Child Care? =( Well its not really a very sad place. Haha. I liked it. Because I have a lot of friends to play with. I didn't attend nursery but went to child care instead. But I still went to PAP for kindergarden. This is the gate of the child care centre. Haha.

 

They've repainted it over the years. I THINK last time used to have flowers and grass and butterflies on the wall. But now it's just plain white. You know how those kiddy places always have tt detergent smell? They also have it there when I went by there today. Ok.. wait wait! I know all this is boring you. But you know last time when my parents "drop" me there for the day, I will run to the gate and cry and cry and hold on to the grills very tightly. And I will cry "Help me call my daddy, his name is Ah Kow (that's what my grandmother calls him) and his number is ______!!!!" to ANYONE who walked by. So embarrassing.

Last story for today, is this photo...

 

That is Yishun Junior College! Apparently they are a top 10 JC now. Haha. There was a huge banner outside the gate today. Well anyway, when I was a small child, I would stare at YJC and go wah so big... All those ppl who go there study must be very very smart. Even till now, YJC stills looks like a nice college to me. Even though I know there are nicer ones around. It's the childhood thing. hehe

Ok... That's all for today. Really miss you a lot. Hope to see you soon!!

It's SATURDAY again!!

Well no big deal I know, but it IS a big deal for you. Since you always have your date with the 23 men on the field. Sigh.

Haha. But at least its good for you I guess. At least you have things to do and will not start anyhow thinking about things. I'm glad that it will take your mind off things that are troubling you my dear.

So... Being no match for your millionaire friends, I'm here blogging! Teehee! Well you know last Sunday (the day we got on the cruise), I was thinking you poor thing... must miss your soccer a lot.

You know.. things are going to be so different now. With my parents back and all. It will all revert to last time when I have to go home early and a lot lesser staying overnight. Well... It's ok right? At least in the long run, it will not be like that anymore.

Anyway, you remember yesterday we went  Katong to eat lunch? Well.. this is a picture of our favourite bread and coffee place! Maybe not our most favourite, but still one of our favourites. The east is really such a great place.

 

And yesterday night when I came home my dad was complaining that on the plane he got to eat fruit platter and now that he's home he don't have them anymore. So I made him this.

 

It's supposed to be smiling with the black grapes as the teeth but I guess it looks more like :S instead of :)

The next picture below was captured while I was driving back from breakfast at Upper Thomson today. My family and I went there for roti prata. Yes I know it is sinful and now at night I still feel a bit guilty, but it was somewhat worth it. Hehe. At least I got to drive there and back! And my dad says he don't like my driving style. Too over confident he said. Sigh. Sometimes I know I am too over confident. Got one period of time during that one month they were away I became too confident. But after that I scolded myself. Because who am I kidding? I just passed! Haha. So now I am not over confident anymore. Always trying to be more alert and more aware of other drivers, motorcyclists and myself too.

 

That... is a caterpillar that fell onto the windscreen while I was waiting for the traffic light to turn green. It even has some yucky slimy green liquid to accompany it! Yucks! Hmm I wonder where did it go...

Today I asked my mother if it was scary to start a family. Whether when she first got pregnant she was more scared or excited. She said she was more than happy. Somehow this few days I've been thinking that having kids is not easy. I mean the parents really wil affect the child during his or her developing years. And it is damn hard to be such a great parent. Every little thing that we (hehe) as the parents say will affect the child when they grow up. Even after we die, they will go on about how "Last time daddy or mummy used to say/do this..." And its so scary. There's the environment that we bring them up too.

Haha. Maybe I guess we should let nature take its course. If so many millions of parents can bring their children up properly, I think we can too :) Maybe I'm just too anxious to be a good mother now!  Haha. If my parents know my thoughts now, I think they will freak out.

Btw, you know last time you used to come online to chat with me more often, but I don't blame you for not coming online to talk to me now. It's all the stupid things I said. So sorry for hurting you then darling. I really apologise for what I said and I hope you will forgive me someday.

To end today's entry, YOU ARE CUTE! And I still love you very much! :D

 

 

On 10th December, I had the lovely opportunity to go for a star cruise vacation with you and your family. Although it was a crazy decision because my parents came back only a day before we left, I am glad that we went for it. It was a great time. So much sleeping. So much food (veggies!!), so much sun and fun.

So on Sunday, I went to my Psychology camp at Pulau Ubin. It was to be a 4 days 3 nights camp. Haha. Luckily my mother didn't check my bag because it will be filled with clothes that are not suitable for camp! I feel very bad for bluffing her and misusing her and my dad's trust in me, but sometimes I think a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do. So off I go to your house!

First day on board the ship, it brought back a lot of memories of me and family last time. When my brother and I were still small kids running down the corridor, going to the arcade and playing lots of games. Everything was still how I remembered it. Except that the staff are not so cute anymore. Haha! So on this day we didnt do anything much... You went to jacuzzi while I just looked on with my Time magazine. And man! You do love that jacuzzi a lot. And that bathroom inside. And you taught me to eat the nice oranges there too. Do you know its the first time I ate oranges at a buffet and it taste that good? Haha. Most of the time, at other buffets they are really quite horrible.We had dinner with ur family and relatives. Made my first foray into the casino and played bingo later on that night.

Second day we went to Penang. Penang was as usual a hot oven and we went to the cze cha place, the salted fish, tau sar piah, prawn noodles and chendol place. I think we both slept a lot in the van! It was so hot! I think Jerry was the only one who was most shiok because everyone is fanning him. Lucky boy. haha

Third day we went to Phuket. Phuket is still Phuket. Unless we go off to other island, its nth much I think. Just shopping and eating. We went to this nice open air place for lunch with the sea near to us. You were perspiring a lot as usual. And I think I am jealous of that now. haha. I think it should be attributed to your high metabolism. I wish I have that too. On this journey you slept a lot too! And once when the van bumped very hard along the road you jerked and woke up. Haha. And you thought I poked you to wake you up. That was very funny. Haha. We went for our respective massage and you were so oily after that. So yucky. And you keep buying coke at Phuket. While going back, your sister's mother in law keep on saying that Jerry kept on staring at us. Because last time you would always carry him but now you keep on holding my hand. Hehe.

Last day on board was a bit sad because I couldn't bear to leave you. The chicken wings were nice but the orange juice is over priced darling. From the whole trip, I must agree that its really great to go on board and do nothing. And you can't really do anything because you can't. But next time if we ever go I WILL bring my running shoes. The gym looks so nice! Track mill facing the ocean. Sigh. What a waste. hehe. But nvm. ECP also is next to the sea. haha.

And I love this picture that was taken with you just before we left.

 

Because both of us are smiling! Although it was taken with your NOKIA phone. haha. This other one is nice too.

 

 

I must say I really enjoyed the whole trip. It was great being able to get to know your family and relatives better. Your dad and mum were as usual very very nice people and hopefully I can get to know them better next time. I talked a bit more to your sister and Ben and they are really a very sweet couple. Your sister loves Jerry so much. Its very nice to see the look in her eyes when she carries him - full of love and motherly protection. Glad to know Alex a bit better too and I really find that he's such a friendly, caring, nice guy. You should introduce your friends to him :P and your dad's 2nd sister whom I really like bcos she likes to exercise and eat veggies. and Celine is just a normal playful kid. She's not that bad =)

Thanks for the whole experience darling. Really grateful to your family for making it possible and for having you with me!

Hello! This is our very first entry to this blog. A blog about me and you! =)

 

Firstly this blog's address is called "wonderfultonight" because i think the Eric Clapton's song is really very nice. The beautiful music and the good lyrics. Here's the lyrics for your viewing pleasure. Haha.

 

Eric Clapton - Wonderful Tonight

It's late in the evening.
She's wond'ring what clothes to wear.
She puts on her make up,
and brushes her long blonde hair.

And the she asks me: "Do I look alright?"
And I say "Yes, you look wonderful tonight."

Ref:
I feel wonderful,
because I see the love light in your eyes.
Then the wonder of it all,
is that you just dont realize how much I love you.

We go to a party,
And everyone turns to see
This beautiful lady
is walking around with me.

And then she asks me: "Do you feel alright?"
And I say "Yes, I feel wonderful tonight."

Ref:
I feel wonderful,
because I see the love light in your eyes.
Then the wonder of it all,
is that you just dont realize how much I love you.

It's time to go home now,
And I've got an aching head.
So I give her the car keys,
and she helps me to bed.

And then I tell her, as I turn out the light,
I say "My darling, you are wonderful tonight,
oh, my darling, you are wonderful tonight."

 

When we are always out together, I always feel wonderful. And I think the mood of that song really captures the wonderful feeling very well.

Well this blog is really about making the memories that both of us made last forever. With pictures and songs to go by too. Here's to a great photo-blog journey! =)
