Together ...

Our 1st birthday celebration together, his with me and mine with him. One day apart, such a sweet coincidence =)

Day One - 21st Feb

We arrived at Krabi International Airport late in the evening...

boarded the local shuttle bus...

and reached our little resort at Aonang just before midnight.

Day Two - 22nd Feb

Had a yummy international buffet breakfast to start our day. After filling our stomach, we rented a blue bike from the hotel and rode around Aonang the whole afternoon. 1st time riding with dear *grinz*

Aonang was a rather small place and we covered pretty much everything in an afternoon,

from the main touristy areas,

to the sandy beach,

and headed back for a nice swim at our resort.

In the evening, we embarked on a long adventurous ride to Krabi town. The ride took about 40 min, with cold winds blowing in our faces.

At the dinner place, I kept asking dear to go to the toilet so that I can surprise him with a chocolate parfait in place of a birthday cake. The friendly cafe owner gave us a re-lightable candle (is that the correct term?), and that took dear several huffs and puffs to blow it out. Haha.

Happy Birthday Dear! May all your wishes come true! *hugz*

Day Three - 23rd Feb

Woke up bright and early for a fun-filled rafting trip cum elephant trekking day!

Rafting wasn't as exciting as the river was over crowded with the numerous tour groups and the water flow wasn't as rapid as rapids should be  But the monkey at the lunch site was so adorable...aww...loved hugging it.

They brought us to a waterfall for a swim as well.

Elephant trekking with dear was so fun!

In the evening, dear wanted to bring me for a seafood dinner, and we tried to borrow a bike from the hotel for free. After some consideration, the nice receptionist lady agreed to lend us her bike for 4 hours. Yay!  (eventually we paid her a token sum) And off we went to a beach side restaurant where we fed lots of mosquitoes , followed by drinks at another restaurant.

Dear went off to toilet and came back with an amused look on his face, 'cos he wanted to ask for candles but there was no friendly staff to help. So we decided to get my birthday cake on our way back to our resort. He asked me to wait at the place he parked, while he went to get the cake.

Back in our room, he asked me not to turn around while he prepared the cake. And when he was ready, this was what I saw...

*beams* Thanks for the sweet arrangement dear =)

Day Four - 24th Feb

Our last day at Krabi! We signed up for the island hopping cum snorkelling trip. Initially we didn't feel like swimming at our 1st stop @ Bamboo Island 

Our 2nd stop was for us to go snorkelling for 1/2 hour. I was rather nervous when I realised I couldn't breathe properly through the tube I was biting on.

For the 3rd destination, they brought us to Phi Phi Don and showed us the caves where the bird nests were obtained, before stopping for us to swim.

(struggling to trap water while raising my hands)

After which, we proceeded to Phi Phi Island for lunch.

Our final stop allowed another 1/2 hour for snorkelling. I was really happy when I could finally snorkel for longer periods, feeding the fish, trying to touch them, while holding dear's hands

Home Sweet Home - 25th Feb

Happy 8 months! I had a really great time at Krabi. It was a most enjoyable trip, right dear?

 2008...It's gonna be great, 'cos I have you!

It's been a long time since I blogged, and January has passed by in a flash. So many things have changed in 2007, and it seems like only yesterday that I was blogging about my new job at JP Morgan, and now I'm facing another change 

2008 started great, with darling and me, running hand in hand across the underground passageway to One Fullerton, just in time to catch the fireworks *beams*

We caught our 1st concert together...

and our 2nd musical...

Also celebrated Jun's Bday @ Dempsey and Ting & Cher's Bday with XO beehoon and poker night . Only missing Even's presence... Come back soon!

Anyway, while tidying up my wardrobe one night, I found tonnes of clothes that have not been worn before! And so my current new resolution is to refrain from buying clothes until my wardrobe has been fully explored and utilised. Hehe.

Alright, gotta run for my class soon...missing my darling who's in HK right now, and my dearies, some of whom I will be meeting tomorrow. Have a great weekend! =)

Random entry on a random weekend

Saturday...

Made sushi with my dearest Sis and baked cookies for my dearest guy. Yum yum.

Sunday...

Wanted to go Sentosa for a game of beach volleyball but tian bu zuo mei, so the game was called off, no beach volleyball, no nice tan. Went to the gym for a run and met my fav guy for a random movie, Balls of Fury. It was rather entertaining, albeit forgettable. Maggie Q still looks hot.

Headed to Mellben for crab beehoon, but the queue was super long, so we ended up at the competitor, Uncle Leong, which served rather flavourful bee hoon as well. So next time u turn up at Mellben but run out of patience, go diagonally opposite. Somehow I think they are more pricey though.

Check out the clip below. Connie has the most amazing voice I've ever heard from a 6 yr old. She's so pretty and adorable too. Wish I can sing like that *day dreams*. Check out her performance at "Britain's got talent"

Back to work tomorrow, Monday blues beginning to set in again...

Suddenly feel kinda out of touch with everyone. Guess we haven't been meeting up much, and even if there were outings organised, I couldn't join for some reason.

Over the weekend, I went on a company trip to Desaru. But at the fruit farm on Sunday afternoon, I felt dizzy and vomitted, then I got a headache that just gets worse with the day. On Monday I went to work as usual, but my head was pounding badly so I went to see the doctor and he came to send me home at lunch time. Tuesday, back to work, but headache came back and body temperature went up in the evening, til i couldn't take it and decided to leave. He took me to the doc and sent me home to rest. Wed, working from home. That's why now I have the time to blog. Haha.

Anyway, hope that my load will be eased when the new guy they hired to help me comes in Oct.

Qi and Mat, keep updating your blogs yah. Though I don't leave comments, I read all of yours. =)

Another horoscope sent to my mail box. Think the English is not that good. Haha. But most of the description seems true (except for the drugs part). Just pasting in my blog for fun. Don't have to read it =)

PISCES WOMAN

She likes to be in a dream world than to be in reality. She is weak and sensitive when it's come to "Love". She can cry if her best friend is breaking up, and she can be over excited when her friend gets a new boy friend who is a good looking and rich even it is nothing concerned her at all. You might be surprise to see that she is shy just because she is in love. More or less it will be in Pisces woman. She loves small animal and gifted in training animals.

She has sixth senses and she can guess what will happen next, it's her nature. Even she has a good sixth senses, she can not pick or foreseen her own choice of lover. She can not tell if she meet a sincere guy or a one night stand guy.

She likes to buy and pick her own cloths. She likes to dress cute and be cute. Pisces woman tend to be a good looking woman and she has a nice skin. Her hands and feet are small and soft. Pisces woman loves to shop for
shoes as if she collects them. She is a hot lady that everyone wants her. Whether she has a man in her life or not , she will never try to over powered any man. It's not even in her thought.

She thinks man can handle things better, and she will make her man feel that way. She is an easy going person, so being with her is easy. She is a confident woman and likes to make people who stay with her happy. She knows
how to please and how to comfort a man. If something is wrong, she will try to make other people belief that it's must be because of someone else, not because of her love one. She will not push her man to be ambition but
to make him feel like he should be happy with the way he is now. She is happy with you for what you are now.

A Pisces woman , if she has a bad childhood, she will always remember it and it will make her a very unhappy person. She will pity herself and feel sorry for herself. She tends to hurt herself with out knowing it and so vulnerable to drugs (real drugs or just sleeping pills). She has many choices and you can never tell which path she going to take. If you love her , then hold her tight because she never knows why she did what she did or what she will do next.

A complex character. You may think she is a shy innocent type and can not hurt anyone, then you are wrong. You might think she is a fragile person who needs protection, wrong again. She has been through a lot, a tough
cookie. She is a dreamer and love the word "Love", so she is the type who will buy gift for anyone for any occasion, especially if it is a gift for wedding or an anniversary even for someone who she does not know so well.

Be very careful if fall in love with Pisces woman. She can be a total different person before and after. She can be an angle before and later a witch, but everyone is not perfect, right? She will be soft and gentle most of the time, so not to worry. She is emotional and extremely sensitive when she frequently got hurt. She is the type who can cry her heart out.

She can have a secret fear inside, when she says she does not need anyone.She badly needs someone to protect her, but sometimes she can hide that feeling by being stubborn. She likes to hide her shyness and her weakness from her enemy. She does not like to follow any fixed rules. She can be a good housewife if you know how to handle her.

Many men will ask to marry her because she is a 100% woman. If she wants to be sweet, she is a real angles.
