HAPPY 26TH

This is a belated post.

I'm currently too sick to post a long post.
But yeap, baby, we used to exchange love smses every monthniversary without fail.
Ytd we were both too tired and sick.

So i wanna take this opportunity to send you this msg.

Baby,

This is our only 26th monthniversary on the 26th.
Nothing really special, no expensive squandering.
It's an improvement on our part to save money.
So glad that we've came so far tgt against all odds.
So grateful for this stable relationship with you.
I love you so much baby.

Endless love,
Ziwei :D

PS: I want a baobao right now right now!!
Get well soon babyboy. <3

Title-less

This is the first time i've been so meticulous and on task about recording my expenditures.
I wanted to find out for myself where all my money "miraculously" went to when i had high funds last time.

Got my 1st ever pay from Kaplan via RecruitExpress on the 5th of June.
Have been taking note of my expenses for the past 15days and i had a shocking discovery.
I actually spent roughly 100$ on food and 170$ on miscellaneous stuff
like junkfood, personal stuff for grooming and leisure activities.
My pay was already pathethically low, and i still have debts to clear.

What i've concluded is that i've been enjoying life too much and
hasn't been disciplined enough to control my spending, especially on food and entertainment.
I really need to learn how to spend within my means and ability. heh!

Anyway, shall update about how i spend my pre-wkend and weekend.
Saturday morning was crazy tuition marathon that starts at 8am!
All the way until 11am. It's not ez being a tutor okay!
Sat afternoon was boring, cuz i procrastinated till forever,
downloading cute apps on bb, lazing around in bed and
the most productive activity on sat aftnn was cleaning my hammies' cages.
Headed to Leo's house after that to prepare for trip to Timbre at Substation
for Eric's 21st birthday celebration in advance.

If you don't mind the narration, den continue reading.

Went to PS to shop for Eric's birthday present,
and we ended up buying a matching present for Samantha as well.
Got them a pair of couple mugs, which is not exactly cheap,
and i really loved the mugs! The matching spoons are chio and classy too!
Leo and I will get even chioer ones when we get married! Mwahahaha.. :D

Reached Timbre later than 7.30 although we were told a million times not to be late by the hosts.
Nonetheless both the dua pai birthdayboy + his darling were 1.5hour late for the celebration.
Ehh I'm actually guilty of being late when i was the organiser for some activities or events last time too.
Lol. But I've been quite successful at kicking such irritating bad habits. :P
I felt really bad for Clare and other guests tho I wasn't the main organiser.
Sammy! Must train your boyfriend not to be so dua pai la! :P

The ambience and music at Timbre are super enjoyable! <3
Frankly, i was like half asleep den cuz that very morning i woke at 8am for tuition.
But still I'm glad i didn't miss out the good food(PIZZAS!!) and live band performance. :D

I just got my second pay and i'm quite lost about the allocation of my funds.
Transportation is a killer; FOOD IS THE MOST MERCILESS ONE.
Debts and blah blah blah. Savings for Sunway trip and driving and daily expenses next semester. OMG.
I think i shld just give up on saving for driving. :( Heh. See how things go 1st.

One last update, a tragic one.
My daddy hamster, Maozi junior, miraculously died in the middle of his home ytd. :( many.
We buried him among his beddings in the bushes under my hdb.
He passed on really peacefully and appeared to be slping altho he had his last breath some time ago.
Heartache to the max right. :(  I fed him well and cleaned him consistently,
i really have no idea why he passed away so suddenly.
I suspect he has overeaten. No highly possible too cus animals are instinctive, won't overeat easily.
Either way, what's happened cannot be un-happened, well.

My final message for Maozi junior:

"My cute fatty Maozi, you've brought me so much joy, inclusive of
the babies you gave pizi, the interesting hamster-mating we witnessed live for the first time,
the soft soft fur i loved to touch, the tame but active "personality"/nature of yours.
You're named after your daddy, Leo for being as cute and naughty as him.
I hope you've enjoyed life with your wife and children for the last lap of your journey
despite the fact that your home was a cage. You're blessed with so many ppl/animals who love you,
Pizi, Daofan & Pashan (your babies), Mummy (me), Daddy (Leo), JiaJun and Jiali (my siblings).
I love you always. Kilo and you will stay in my heart forever. <3"

Love, Mummy

Took leave for tmr, for Arts Camp day 3 at Sentosa beach.
Gonna be fun! :) Good night world. Good night Maozi for the last time. <3

Life's good. It's the perspective. :D

It's been a damn long time since i have such a luxury of time to pamper myself
with a "late night movie" under my roof in my house.

What exactly happened today was,
work, OT 30min, home, chat with mummy and siblings, bathe,
shop for dinner @ pasamalam downstairs, eat, watch movie from my com.
(Successfully ignored the fact tt work took a HUGE bulk of my day though)

Shall start with my most recent activity.
Just watched "Couples Retreat" downloaded since long long time ago.
I can't believed I've started reading my statistics (for psych) textbook today this morning.
Thanks to the movie that i could distract myself from going back to the textbooks this evening.
It's really a scary feeling how my mentality magnets me to the textbooks for next sem lying on my table.
Oh well. I didn't study tonight. I'm normal.
Conclusion: I haven't truly enjoyed my holiday enough yet.
(Will be continuing with stats1 tmr with Sammy though)


Couples Retreat is an interesting show. Hot bods despite of age.
However, I feel that the movie doesn't have depth.
I get the entire point of the movie,
just that the resolution of the seemingly complexed problems between the couples was superficial.
No clear cut reason how things got solved.
Nearing the end of the show, one random black girl just popped up to replace another(one of the couples),

who had been in the show as Shane's girlfriend for the past 1+ hour.

Ridiculous I thought.
Ofkox, the movie is commendable for the good sceneries and fun activities.
A slight twist to the storyline at the end.
Realistic problems that may occur between couples(married or not) well-reflected.
3.5/5 STARS.

Shall backtrack a little.
Was shopping downstairs at my all-time favourite pasamalam.
Fresh new things do replace the old ones indeed.
What caught my eye today was 1 new stall, "Twister potatoes", which is quite pricey stuff. (2.50$ per stick tt doesn't seem filling)
Was rather disappointed that i couldn't find my Takoyaki stalls.
The entire row was filled with Malay stalls selling Malay clothes that are not entirely practical for me.
What's worth mentioning is the Malay food stalls are hot favourites of the public though. RAMLY BURGER!
Was told that this Malay-stalls-filled pasamalam will last till end of June. Mad long can.
I'm hence given more time to save for the Hello Kitty comforter sold at the pasamalam. :)
(Buying stuff from pasamalam isn't cheapo ok? Cus that HelloKitty comforter is mad expensive!Gosh..)

I think i've blogged enough tonight.
Time to sleep.

~ Wish for Leo's return tmr, but he's tied down by guard duty. :( Miss my babyboy. ~

NITES LOVES. xD

Flashflood @ Orchard

I will not post pics cuz pics are largely on my twitter.
Get a twitter account man, esp if you've got data plan for your phone. :)
I love tweeting with my BB! <3

This very morning as i was on 502, the expensive express bus, to work,
i had already noticed and tweeted about the dark menacing clouds hovering at Clementi.
Yet, it didn't occur to me that that hugeass piece of cloud
had such power to flood the central area of Singapore.
It was incredible and unbelievable when i got hold of those pictures of flashflood.

I considered myself lucky to have just bypass the clouds and
seemingly harmless drizzle at 8+am.
If i had woken up just a little later, I might have caught sight of the most spectacular scene in Sg.
Large opportunity cost to be late for work after a long weekend for me man.

Is the flood a sign from God?
This relatively tiny flood (as compared to very destructive tsunami) reminded me of
a Christian story of Noah.
I observe that Mediacorps, environmentalists, retail shops and even NUS canteen vendors are
encouraging Sg'eans to go green by using less plastic bags, save electricity and so on.
Even Leo's mummy has been more strict about saving electricity,
noting the worse state our country/earth is coming to.

I think this is serious case.
I shall start doing my part in saving our Earth.

I'm blogging very sleepily, so NIGHTY!

PL1101E Placement test

I guess many people are most probably not interested in my placement test today.
But, i'm still gonna blog about it.

I spent my past 1+ month of holiday juggling work and revision for placement test
while most of my friends were hanging out with friends, catching movies and blah blah blah..
I'm somewhat envious, but i'm satisfied enough to practise self-discipline in studies
and get myself ready for next semester's fierce mugging.
I've really set my mind that studies will be in first place next sem.
Cos it's impossible to do honours and achieve my wish without good grades.

Nothing much to update about my life. Boring.
For the next few weeks, i'll be scrimping and saving for my Sunway Lagoon trip
with Leo, Yiliang, Amanda, Chaohao & Lianne on the 2nd weekend of July.
Can't wait! Totally looking forward to playing and spending my 1st overseas trip with Leo & friends.
It's the first time i'll be paying for my overseas trip.
Ok la, it's just M'sia, but still first time outta Singapore tgt with Leo. :D

I must stop taking leaves and start OT-ing to clear my debts and top up my funds in the savings account!
It's a mad great opportunity cost to take leave for a day. Walao 56$ leh.
Can last me for 2 weeks for food man. (Not referring to luxurious food though)

My very short term wishlist: 
1. New pair of specs
2. Running shoes!!! (Very urgent! I'm damn fat now!)

To do list:
1. Finish reading Twilight (which i read only halfway due to Semester 2 mugging this year.)
2. Bake another Hershey's chocolate for my family
3. Learn to cook another few dishes
4. Watch Killer, Karate Kid, Nightmare on Elm St, Toy Story 3, She's out of my League!!
(30++ bucks of movies to catch!!!! I foresee my 26th monthniversary to cost a bomb!)

Ok, I'm gng for dinner now.
Promise to blog more often this time since i've regained my FREEDOM!!!! :D :D :D :D

Plan later on:
a. Dinner
b. Pack my wardrobe
c. Badminton with siblings
d. Bathe
e. Surf net
f. Read Twilight till i fall asleep
g. Woken up by Leobaby's call. <3

Dinner time!

He loves me from the bottom of his heart.

I can't stop the urge from blogging this
even though i should be slping soon.
I need to post this mushy entry.
If you know you buey tahan, stop reading.

He returned from Taiwan all skinny and dark,
with a uniquely faithful heart.

We spent that night together,
on the same bed and frequency,
heartbeats in sync.

We talked about anything and everything
which were missed out on for the 3 painful weeks.
I've forgotten how long we talked that night,
perhaps an hour since 5am?

What mattered to me then wasn't the content of our convo,
but the his body warmth and endearing smell drowned me totally.
That night was magical.

I was persuaded by him that he's the last man i'm gonna be with till forever.

He actually rejected offers to attend clubs and "dirty" ktv pubs.
Instead he went shopping with his "cleaner" friends.
He spent his R&R thinking largely of me and shopping for me.
He kept his promises in our contract.

It was his own subconscious(or not) reluctance to let loose that
persuaded even himself that he loves me completely.
True love is always proven by subconscious actions,
now that we realise.

Even though he's back in camp now,
I can feel the strong connection between our souls still.
Soul, i mean.
As I'm thinking of you, are you thinking of me right now?

Thank you baby for being mine, staying mine.
You're the most awesome and precious asset of mine.

Endless love,
Ziwei <3

P.S. Now that we're truly one, spiritually, don't worry about any of your problems,
because I'll never let you feel lonely, baby... We shall tank your damn phone bill together.
