Last 3 months...

I always have a thousand and one reasons or excuses not to update my blog, not that most of them are not valid though. It is either no time, tired from school and work, laptop ganna virus, slow internet connections, no photos, blah blah blah... Actually I'm quite fine with not blogging anymore, but it seems like my number 1 fan wants to see more and constantly ask me to update. Therefore, I shall not disappoint her. *wink wink*

June

Dera and me~

Gym bag.... her first.

Butterfly brooch... nice?

There is only 1 important thing to remember, and that is my dera's birthday! I came back from the HK trip with many presents for my dera and her family. I gave her a glass shoe from Disneyland which has her name engraved on it, something which I thought she would like since she loves heels so much. I also got her a gym bag from Adidas, hopefully that will give her a reason to exercise and to accompany me to gym, hehe. There were also the almond biscuits and "Lao Po Bing" for her family. And once again I must apologise for not smuggling back a chicken from HK which her family and her so dearly wanted. Well... seriously, I din know that she was serious when she said it, and yes, I am afraid of the bird flu. Lastly, there was the highly anticipated birthday party for my Dera on 21st!! I finally gave her the last of the gifts I bought for her from HK, a brooch from Swarovski, something that she thought of buying a year ago. The BBQ party was much more tiring than I expected. I'm always busy cooking and bringing food to the guest. Didn't have much time to stay with my baby and entertain her guest. =( I dun mean to be anti-social. Nonetheless, I'm glad that it went quite ok. I learnt a valuable lesson on organising a party and I'm sure I'll be able to do a better job next time.

July
Ever since young, I've always console myself that even though there wasn't any public holiday in the month of July, at least I'll have my birthday to look forward to. Somehow that makes the month seems less boring. Since it was my birthday month, I got member discount from Party World, Levi's, Dockers, Body Shop and GNC. All these discount are supposed to help me save money, however, I ended up spending more than I should!! If not for them, I dun even think I'll be spending. Damn. A thought of celebrating my birthday at Turf City with some of my frens in Singapore Pools come to mind, however, most of them were in HK at that time and I'm lazy to organise. In the end, I'm content to just let my gf plan my activities for the day. I'm so so so so SO THANKFUL to my dera! Even though her pocket money is finishing, she still managed to fork out enuff money to buy 2 tickets to the Sodagreen concert as my birthday present!! (1 for me and the other for her to accompany me) Actually I can't remember when, but I suddenly become crazy about them recently. I started listening to all their songs after I knew how talented they were, also watched their MV on youtube and bought their CDs. Therefore, I can't explain how excited I was when I knew what my dera got me... I'm gg to their concert in Singapore!! And as expected, the concert was superb. The group sang around 25 songs in more than 3 hrs. What's even better was that I was seated near the front, so I can see everything quite clearly. After the concert, undoubtedly my admiration for Sodagreen grew. WOW!!

August
School started for my both my dera and me. Work also starts to get busy due to the kick off of all the various leagues. Sadly, this results in less time for my beloved dera. We had a number of heated arguments and quarrels, but I'm glad that nothing serious come out from it. No matter how much the misunderstanding, how heated the argument is, I'll always ask myself this question: do I still love her? And everytime when I think of the answer, I'll calm myself down and give in to her. Nothing else would matter anymore. I simply love her too much. There's no one whom I'm willing to sacrifice for and that no one else has ever sacrifice so much for me.
A number of other things happened in August. So Singapore managed to win another silver medal in the Olympics, why do I not feel proud at all? I wonder if there will ever be a time where a local born resident can win even a bronze medal in the future Olympic games. Sports is really quite dead in Singapore, and one can only blame the society that we live in. Talking about sports, I find it increasing hard to find ppl to play a game of soccer. I'm craving for more matches, especially after I scored what I believe was the best goal I've ever had since secondary school; winning a ball from half field, dribbled and sprint past 3 players before rounding the keeper and cooly slot the ball into an empty net for the winning goal. SHIOK!!! That was a major boost to my confidence and I'm really looking forward to more games.

September

Gang of us waiting for the "Star" to arrive

Singapore Pools representative

Really quite saddened by the recent events at Newcastle. Being a magpie fan for more than 10 years, I'm as passionate abt the magpies as any Geordie. However, the leaving of KK and the transfer activities really leave me fuming and dishearted. I do think abt not supporting them anymore, but I know that there is no other club that I'll be passionate abt. Pleeeeease, someone save Newcastle from Mike Ashley and Dennis Wise!!
We just had a surprise birthday party for John yesterday. Really wish him a happy 23th birthday. The shocked, surprised, unbelievable look on his face tells us that the plan was a success. Nothing beats a surprise. Seriously, that's what frens are for. There's no need for anything spectacular, sometimes simple things can also touch ppl's hearts. Looking at the party reminded me of the last bday party which I had had 4 years ago on my 21st. It wasn't a surprise party, but nonetheless I was touched that many of my frens took the time and trouble to come down. I truly appreciate it when someone even bother to come and attend. It makes me feel honoured, I'm sure John feels that way too.

And I’ll taste every moment, and live it out loud, I know this is the time, this is the time. To be more than a name, or a face in the crowd, I know this is the time, this is the time of my life... (quoted from the song The time of my life by David Cook)
