Finally we get to catch PS I love You. Having read the book more than 1yr ago, I was expecting this movie since then. However, I felt that the movie could have been better. Many details were not included in the movie and there were supposed to be 13 letters! There were less than 10 in the movie.

Anyway, it was a causal day with paul since it's only day 2 after i fainted. we hang around novena since he did not want me to travel so far and it's only 5 mins away.

I noticed that everyone was so anxious about me, mum ensures that i take my bf, lunch and dinner. while paul ensures that i get home safely w/o fainting. carol insists to take me to the polyclinic to get a referral letter to the hospital for a WHOLE body checkup. she thinks that there is really something wrong with me. oh man..

i must admit that i do feel a little giddy once in a while and even after i took my meals, i think there shouldn't be anything wrong with me.

i look fine right?

i fainted on sun evening in the hawker centre. the uncles were very nice to help me to a chair, respected me and asked for a lady to help me. my entire vision was blurred and all i could hear was lots of voices surrounding me. they wanted to call for an ambulance but somehow i remembered carol was waiting for me in the carpark with ethan and i reached for my phone. of course i couldn't see the contact list and luckily i told myself to be strong n dialed carol's number. the lady talked to her and i was unconscious by now. she must have pinched my forehead so head to make me awake and slapped my face at least 30 times! but nvm, when carol finally arrived, i regain slight conscious and they suggest to bring me to the nearby clinic. the doc was panic and anxious, while carol called my bro who happened to be at home. he dashed down and the doc suggest to send me to a&e.

kor drove me to ttsh's a&e and carol went home. did all the necessary tests and by 11.30pm, dr gary discharge me but arranged for an appointment with the Neurologist for a brain scan. kor called jiejie to come down to the hospital to help out just in case he couldn't manage. mum rushed down and dad came down after work. uncle meng wanted to come down but since i was fine, kor told him not to. omg! grace and xuebing msged me to ask abt my status. i told paul abt what happened only at around 9.30pm. din want him to worry since he was working. kor complained that so many pple called and came down to see me when i'm in a&e. but the last time he went to a&e with high fever ( due to chicken pox), he was alone. haha oops! but from this incident, i felt the gentle side of my bro, he rushed to me when he was outside n the doc called for me.

dad said i was too heaty, that explain the faint. but since this is not the first time i fainted (mostly at home), i shall go for a FULL body checkup.

to be honest, i am quite afraid of the brain CT scan. the entire process feels scary. i don't wan to be wearing the surgeon gown and lay on the hard cold bed and be pushed under the big scary machine again. oh yes, i did this scan when i was in jc2.

mum forbid me to use lappie for 2days bcos she wants me to rest well. dad n mum called home to check on me when i'm alone at home. WORST NEWS: mum forbids me to go for my europe trip + wmc 2009. how am i going to tell willy?

let's just hope that i fainted bcos my body was heaty. and NOT bcos of any major illness. pray for me.

it doesn't matter how much u give me,
it doesn't matter how big the bouquet of flower is,
it doesn't matter how sweet the lollipop taste,
it doesn't matter how much kisses are there,
it doesn't matter how long u hug me,
it doesn't matter what we eat,
it doesn't matter how expensive the presents are,
it doesn't matter even when u never tell me "I love u",

but it matters when u took a day off the very next day when i whined and sent u a yellow card just to spend time with me and hope i would be happier.. this is when i noe, u truly love and care abt me.

MR EWAN LIM

I'm terrible, making a 4 yrs old studying so hard

MR EVAN LIM

I'm so bad. He is only 3.

I introduced chinese to evan today, lots of fun boy. The best student among the three boys with good learning attitude, high self-esteem and confident.

After 3 hours of intensive tuition, carol sent me home, stayed with her in the playground to chat while ethan played happily for 1hour and i went back for the family dinner! lots of good food! Everyone turned up for the dinner. But I m so tired now. time to bed. nite

we are studying hard in woodlands library :)

look at how serious paul is, reading up on his notes for the test on thurs. aza dear!

to accompany him, i'm reading my chinese economics textbook. learning abt the tax-sharing reform in china in 1994. econs is so fun!

wedding of my best friend's sister

Georgina & Choon Keat (aka Tom Chew)

The sweet couple.Geraldine + Jun Yuan + me!

Jun Yuan + me!

Geraldine (Bestest friend of 18yrs) + me!

Guest's Gift

I went to the salon to get my hair styled for this wedding. I was quite happy with the result and many people including Georgina said I look good this evening. :) My ang bao for the day = $268. A lucky number for this happy couple.

Dad told me during the dinner that I can avoid having a wedding dinner in future unless I am able to afford it and not depend on the ang bao $ from my guests to help pay for the dinner. I was shocked that he would haf such thoughts. Paul was very happy when I told him what dad said. But I have always wanted a Cinderella's wedding celebration. The dream is to have a garden reception with lots of flowers + candles. Guests must be all dressed up for my reception. Ladies in dresses and Men in shirts + pants.

* * * * *

* * * * *

I was glad that my eyes recovered in time for the evening for me to put on my contacts. Paul and Carol told me to put on my glasses. Paul assured me that I m always pretty to him. Carol texted to tell me that Beauty + cannt see is better than Beauty + can see. haa..

Enough of partying. Time to rest (my eyes too!)

after teaching @ LCMS, carol came to pick me up for dinner (8pm). took quite some time to locate Kim Seng (he was so blur) and more time for him to decide on which restaurant to eat. zzz I was super hungry by the time (9.30pm) he found the place he wanted.

Metropole Herbal Restaurant

@ Clarke Quay

with Carol + Kim Seng

i haf no idea of the actual name of the dishes bcos it was KS who ordered all the food. c n i just sat and waited to be served. hohoho since ks is so fussy about food, c rest assured me that the food will be the best.

Egg White - 1 each (yummy)

Winter Melon Soup - 1 each (superb)

Tofu Broccoli with ScallopCabbage with Scallop

Spare Ribs in Blueberry sauce (My fav)

Avocado with aloe vera - 1 each (Refreshing)

It was a wonderful dinner. The restaurant was packed but a couple (who actually is the partner of the restaurant) gave their table to us after looking at the way we were dressed up. Kim Seng ordered and served us (running here n there) and the two of us were like princesses. Many other customers were looking at us from head to toe and wondering who were we and why we have a personal assistant (KS). Anyway thks KS for the delicious dinner.

The total bill was about $150. Highly recommended if you haf $. A SIX stars chinese resturant. :)
After the dinner, we strolled along Clarke Quay and visited one mini pub bcos KS's friends were there. I drank ribena haha BUT i can't stand the loud music + my eyes were in pain due to the contact lens. Headed home @ around 1.30am.

V- Day 2008

There was no plan on any date with paul as I had to teach till 7pm and he had to work the following day. Anyway everyday is V-day to us and there was no point in paying extra on this day for a meal. The money could be better spent on something else - like buying more smurfs for me? haa. But we did went to bowl yesterday after class and i chipped my bling bling nails.

My first date of the day!

My 2nd date :) Evan happily drinking milk on my lap. oops!Home Sweet Home : 3rd date with Ethan

Carol teased me that why paul did not take me out on our first V-day and when i explained the reason, she disagreed with me and said we should jus go for a simple dinner! And I texted paul to express my sadness that we can't spend the first V-day together. =(

After teaching ethan, carol drove me to jeremy's house for the 4th date of the day. As usual, we were chatting rather than having tution. haha.. anyway i did make him fully understand the concept of coordinate geometry in 1hr when his teacher spent 1week teaching but he was still blurred. My eyes were swollen due to the contact lens, Jeremy was kind enough to offer me eye drop. Thanks boy!

I complained to Jeremy, "I spent my V-day time teaching you leh rather than going dating, so u better stop talking so much and playing with my hp."

Jeremy replied, "I spent my V-day studying leh." zzzz noti student i have.
10mins before the end of tution, i received a msg! "Helo dear, i m in boon keng now" I was so happy and told Jeremy that my date is waiting downstairs for me. He was so noti to refuse to let me go off on time. I had to bribe him with half of the potato salad that Marygen (carol's maid) made specially for me. And he agreed to let me off but we fixed one extra tution on sat.

He got me a BIG bouquet of Lilies (but i asked why not Blue roses and he said i should b happy that i received flowers) . Anyway he came just to walk me home. So sweet. Paul proudly told me that my bouquet of flowers is the largest he saw from orchard to boon keng. haha. It's really quite big and heavy. According to him, "Either the best or nothing at all."

More smurfs and a teddy bear.

Thanks dear!

there's something wrong with blogspot hence i can't post any pictures. so it's gonna be wordy. sorry! =X

wed 13feb

it was a tiring day at sch, i was not only hungry but freezing in the room. in my mind was filled with fries (oh yes, i love potatoes) n i wanna have botak jones for dinner but paul asked to meet me at tiong bahru n i have no idea where we will be going for dinner. as i pestered him to tell me the dinner menu on our way there, he kept quiet until we were near the place, i was delighted that it's botak jones for the evening! yummy! headed to safra @ mt faber to bowl. although my bling bling nails were damaged after 3 games, I had fun bowling but i had slight gastric pain towards the end of the game. i kept quiet n we went home on a super long bus ride. we were both K.O at the end of the game n i headed to bed straight after i bathed. Now i am considering should I redo my nails since it looks horrible and also to touch up for the wedding this sat.

*i had a bad dream.*

i dreamed of paul's having an affair :(

the dream we were married and the other party was my friend. i was aware of the affair but i remained quiet, until one day i went to her shop. the shop was in total darkness. she walked out of the room in her bedroom gown. she looked half awake and was shocked to see me. I knew paul was in the room but i kept quiet abt it and went to another room to claim to get some of my clothes. after some time, i exit this room and went somewhere else and she smartly asked paul to hide in one of the closet of this room where i was at previously. BUT i sensed it and I went back into this room, opened the closet and asked him to come out. I said something like, "If u wish, u may come home. If not, gd bye." I left the shop, went home and sleep. A friend told me that I should have not catch him and let it be. If he wanna comes home, eventually he will. Just treat the affair as a game for him to play.

"Ring! ring!" Paul called me on my mobile to wake me up for school. The dream ended and I woke up, chatted for a while before we decided that I shall skip school for the day and we returned to bed.

Hearing many real-life stories of the guy having affair, some ended up separated, some asked for forgiveness, some ignored. I questioned many others what will their reaction be when they find out their partner has an affair. I received different answers.

But how would I react? I wonder..

* * * * *

there's a movie i wish to catch, PS: I love You! The movie was from a book written by Cecelia Ahern. I read this book a year ago. It was very touching, she managed to melt my heart and made me cried several times. I read her 2nd book not long after, "If You Could See Me Now". Sometimes I wonder if such love stories happen in real life.

"Happy 21st Birthday"
Ms Carene Chew

she's away in some part of the world at the moment. her celebration will be postponed till she return in june.

'i miss u, carene! come back soon with my carton of sparkling lipton ice lemon tea!"

today is should a crazy day, the weather is simply killing me. went to school for my financial econs mcq test. the total travelling time took me 3.5hrs for a 1hr test. i was K.O. when i reached home. the sun is terrible.

CNY Day 4

the day started with visiting willy's new house @ lakeshore condo. dennis came over to pick me @ 10.15am. almost everything in the house is white but it looks cosy to relax and slack at home. willy has lots of cool stuff in his house, from the osim uSpace to his fingerprint door system. this cny is rather special as lots of former sws members gathered in his house and i was one of the only 2 young ones, poor hazizi and me ended up at the corner listening to the seniors chatted and i happily helped myself to the lovely goodies. one of the former member happened to be a up-coming popular singer in china - Simon Ng. he was so kind to drive me to cck station as the 2nd stop was ger's aunt's house @ amk.

reached amk @ 3+ and everyone was waiting for me to play mahjong. hohoho. in the end i lost 10-20cents. oops!

cny2008

relatives from my maternal sides are simply too scary this year. they simply skipped the question on whether I have a boyfriend to When am i getting married? omg! i was totally stunned when they shoot me with this question. slowly wait lor, make sure u give me a big ang bao when i get married.

v-day is only two days away BUT i have to teach till 7pm on thursday :( why why why?? i wanna go dating. and wednesday i have class till 5pm, lessons which i cant skip. why why why?! it's so unfair. :( and to add on to it, paul has to study for a test on fri. ahhhhhh!!!! nvm everyday is a v-day, i tell myself.

someone said v-day is a day for the guy to pamper the girl. looks like this v-day i will be tortured by 4 guys - ethan, ewan, evan and jeremy. hai..

CNY Day 3

to paul's aunty's house. paul n i ended up playing wii!!! we played bowling, tennis and mario party. soo fun. wohoo..

a dragonfly spotted in the garden

i was chasing it and paul reminded me that it is NOT a butterfly. zzz

i gave aunty birdnest + mushroom and in return she gave me chocolates. i gave them to paul since he loves them. aunty was so sweet to ask paul to carry my bag as she's afraid it's too heavy for me and she drove us out to take a bus since it was super sunny. she reminded me not to stay under the sun today since it's drizzling. i like paul's aunty :) there were two dogs in the house but i was busy playing n forgot to take a photo of them. milo (the gangster dog - according to aunty) + spike (the stupid dog - according to paul).

we headed to amk hub wanting to catch a movie but looking at the crowd, we headed back to novena and hang around there.
spotted this pair of gold gola's LUXE ballet shoe @ world of sports.. i have no gold shoes at the moment and it's very comfortable. hmm.. $89, on sale for 30% + 10% (member's special). but remembering the number of pairs of shoes + new shoes i have at home, i shall be a good girl n not spend this money.

dinner was at mos burger!
