You know how much you mean to me?

I finally couldn't take it and went ahead for a hair trim today. Hair trimming for mid length gals like me is like a I-won't-do-it-if-I-have-the-choice kinda task.
I had wanted to stall till Irene's banquet wedding is over but then again, my hair is so damn dry & thick!

Good Sunday once more,friends.
Whether you are mugging for exams, working, lazing at home..I just wanna let you people know that I miss you.

This week has been one busy one but an exceptionally blissful one for me. Just how many first time you can create in your life and even the simplest one made you smile.

First time @ Coca.

I always thought Coca is a Thai restaurant. So darn ignorant me!
I had my first time at Coca, Ngee Ann City with my colleagues on 30th April - Pre-Labour day.

Photobucket
Their VIP room has such nice black walls for photo taking.

Food wise of Coca is actually so so only. That's the thing about steamboat.I don't feel very nice actually using the same chopsticks to pick raw food and put it in your mouth.
A fun night but again the difference between colleagues & friends is the kinda topic you have at work, after work.

First time @ Paulander.

I always look across to Paulander whenever I'm waiting for my bus @ Suntec. I thought to myself that one day, I just gonna visit there.
So I did, 全托Irene's的福。^^

Paulander.


German sure can eat. Irene ordered is just a platter of meats meant for 3 serving pax and it leaves the 7 of us very full.

Photobucket
Sausages, roast pork, roast chicken, roast duck and soured cabbages = thicker waistline.

Photobucket
Salads for starters. Very nicely tossed salads!


It is a fool's decision to walk outta such a nice restaurant without tasting thier desserts.
Photobucket Nice Menu.

Photobucket

I can't get a good view of the desserts from where I sat. Desserts were good but it didn't send me flying high, perhaps I was too full then.

Photobucket
My ladies in the ladies with me. x)

Total damage for Irene was a holy close to $400(I guess cos' I didn't see the receipt). That's a 2 plates of salads,a platter of meats,4 good dessert & 2 bottles of red wine.
Thank you,babe.

Just stepped outta Paulander, bidding everyone else goodbye...I received a call from Jason.
There, he created my another first time.

He came to fetch me in a car!
For a record, I never sat in a boyfriend's car and that I didn't mind. To me, boyfrined who drives a car now is an advantage, a convenience but not totally necessary.
I am not those that would fuss about boyfriends being able to drive their gals around town....I think. If not I wouldn't have be with a boyfriend for close to 5 years without a car,right?

I waited for another 30 mins before a red Chevrolet stopped infront of me.
Okay...That's his manager's car but how does it matter to me whose car it is? I am so grateful that I do not have to take the long ride home & still have to walk.

First time, Jason's driving me.

Photobucket
He just finished his second job @ night and could have just drive home to sleep. Instead he took the trouble to drive down town & fetched me. I couldn't feel more happy.

I greedily asked for a spin..almost naturally. I just didn't wanna go home to quickly at such a rare opportunity. Well...it could be something that MAY be common in days to come but the first time is beautiful.

Photobucket
Singapore Flyer.

Photobucket
This is Yin's gift for us from Hongkong. A member of the Hamtaro's clan and it looks so cute!!

Photobucket
I am just glad that I don't work at Raffles Place..yet? I just dislike that place in day.

Photobucket
I insisted a try in the car and was graded an immediate failure is less than 5 seconds. LOL!
That's it! I can't drive for nuts!

He drove me up to West Coast & have a light bite over there. (I didn't eat!!)
That is the convenience of having a automobile...It makes Singapore smaller.
After some walking, he drove me back.
I thought that night is sooooooo...beautiful.

Saturday was blazing hot!
I was just about to step outta my house when Jason messaged me to stay put cos' he's on the bus coming over.
I was surprised cos' I told him that he doesn't have to make a trip here specially (Like Bt.Panjang to Serangoon..you know that kinda journey by bus?) cos' we can meet at town.
I just thought he was so sweet to come over anyhow. =)

Surprisingly as I wanted to head to the bus direction, he led my hand to the car park. You should have see my face expression! I was like with my mouth open, eyes widen and break into big smile.
Car ride AGAIN!!!

Matter of fact is I am not greedy enough to dream of another day of being able to sit in a car cos' I thought that car is only meant for his work purposes, that is if he can get the car to do installations.

I did what every girlfriend would do in a car.
Photobucket
Camwhore.Period.

He drove to Serangoon Gardens for lunch. Chomp chomp is not available in the morning so we went to the market diagonally opposite.

Photobucket
Doing his parellel parking.

Photobucket
It's local delights @ Serangoon Gardens.
It is just such a bliss to be alive and be able to eat,right? -sigh- =3

Photobucket

He is actually really very tired...

Moving on...we crossed the TPE..PIE..SLE..whatever lah.
Photobucket
I heartx the blue blue skies.

So IKEA, Tampines is the next stop. I didn't understand why Jason wanted to go there. He just kept saying," Free parking." Lol.

Photobucket
Ikea from driving car's view.

We just spent some time there walking from Ikea to Courts and back to car pooling.

Photobucket
Jason must bully me with this ugly frog puppet cos' he knew I am scare of frogs.

Photobucket I read in magazine today in the salon, that there's science to prove that's power in having a pet. In a 2003 study, men who suffered heart attackes were more likely to live after 4 years if they owned a dog.
No kidding, word for word. That's stated in a magazine.
Photobucket So boys...go get a best friend today. Lol!

We headed down to Orchard cos I have to get something done. ;)

Given if it were me, I wouldnt dare to drive to Orchard even if I have the license. You have to twirl and turn, I don't even know where is where even I have been there for a zillionth time.
Ok...maybe it's just me and my bad direction sense.

Photobucket
Pink car spotted! I always tell Jason that our car should be pink. He always shrugged it off with some goosebumps on his arms. Lol!


Jason specifically asked me to bring along my cake list. Needless to say...the very first that I had was the American Cheesecake of Hilton Hotel.

First time @ Hilton Hotel & first to go off the yummy cake list!

Photobucket
Yum,yum,yum! That's $7.50 a slice.

Photobucket
Drinks wise is just a rip off! $10 for a glass of lemon & mango tea EACH? If it isn't a hotel and there's good quality cookies served, I would have scream at myself for ordering!


Photobucket
Hilton's Amercian cheesecake is love~

Back to the car...He said he booked a 9.35pm movie at a certain east cinema. I rolled my eyes saying it must be that lousy Tampines Mall GV lah. How many cinemas are there in the east?
Other than the really lousy and sleazy one at..um...somewhere east.

Before that..of cos' I won't let go of the chance to....
Photobucket Show you a ghost pic. Hahaa.

Photobucket
To take photos lah.


My eyes widen with surprise when we are nearer to this sight.

Photobucket
Colourful,bright (and so unenviromental friendly) high voltage Downtown East mall.

Call me sua ku cos' I didn't know this place exists. I thought Downtown east is just boring chalet thing.

First time @ Downtown East...Watch movie!!!

Photobucket
Thank you,thank you,thank you.

We had a quick dinner at the so called Hongkong cafe there.
Photobucket

It just wasnt very impressive that that chicken chop fried rice wasn't even mine. My luncheon meat cum sunny side up Nissan noodles tasted worse than what I can whip up at home.

Photobucket
Big faces

We caught the Iron Man at Cathay. Yes, Cathay cinema..new at Downtown East.
Robert D.Jr is just soooooooooo cute & good looking. I wasn't an Iron Man fan. I didn't think he is powerful but just plain rich to design up all those mechanics on his body.
But with Robert D.Jr playing Tony Starks, Iron Man just become desirable. Honestly I am amazed by the kinda technology in the movie. You gotta see how Tony Starks designed his protocol. Cool!
To have that kinda technology...um...maybe at least another 50 years? I dunno a thing about technology.

Our last stop for the day was Pasir Ris beach so you can say I've been to the both ends.

I am actually caught dumb founded whenever my girlfriends ask what was the thing I dislike about my boyfriend.
I feel compelled,actually to bring up a point cos' my mind just went blank when asked about that question.

I can't say I like everything about Jason or I find him perfect. If I have, I wouldn't have go breaking his heart many atimes.

But I don't really have much to complain or dislike about Jason except he is always caught busy.
Sometimes I worry for him cos' he never really rest.
How many guys since a young age can go like this...
"Study, work. Study, soccer. Work,soccer. NS,soccer. Soccer,work. Work, work. Work,date. Date,work. Soccer,work.Work,work."

I know you may have no faint idea what the heck was I typing but that is a typical schedule of his. I always ask him to stop working that much and leave some room for his body to rest.

That 2 days with a car, I reached home at 2am and he reached at least 30 mins after. I can see he is really tired but he never dampen our dates because of that.

To me, a boyfriend who always put you in his priority is so hard to come by and that I am ashamed of what kinda girlfriend I am.
I am not saying I am a bad girlfriend but I am not good enough.

I wanted to finish off that 50 yummiest cakes and he is supporting it with actions with me.
I wanted to paint a princess room and he is doing it with me,if not more of for me.
I wanted to go Hongkong with him and now he is setting aside the money.
I wanted this or that, he will always try to get it done.

He does everything for me,so much so I am practically handicapped without Jason.

I feel lucky. I always did no matter what I've done.

So it may not be the case of there's nothing I dislike about my boyfriend but more of, I don't find myself in a position to complain anything about him.

Back to why he wanted to go Ikea? He thought I could pick something up to decorate my room though his company is more than enough.

Photobucket

Thank you, Jason. You meant the world to me.

(ps: Now this weekend post doesnt end with my face..happy hor? A damn mushy post, I know. But just how many times you pronouced your appreciation for a partner? If you have not, why delay?)
