Happy Valentine's Day to all singles and lovebirds.

My Valentine's Day 2012 has definatedly been unexpected. I really can't recall how I spend my past valentine's day(s), perhaps I was out on dates, perhaps I was cramming school work, maybe I was out with my friends, or maybe I'm just another lonely soul coop with with some activities to keep me entertained then.

Since work roster is always out very early, I hadn't thought my Valentine's Day would be spend attached, therefore I did not mind working on an afternoon. Afterall, this year my bestfriend would be spending with her boyfriend, and then I thought it was really pointless hanging out with guys whom really did not make the cut. Yeah, so I really thought it would just be purely working, and maybe delivering valentine's day babies. =)

So, this year have been indeed special and different. In fact, celebrating on 3 different days have been a real treat for me, haha. My boyfriend have been really awesome to treat me on this special day on the Saturday before Valentine's Day strike, and on the Valentine's evening itself after my work, and of course tomorrow on the 15 which happens to be my off day. =D I am uber fortunate yeah, I know i'm greedy. *smirks*

My gift to him is a photo album with our photos taken during our dates. Initially I had the idea of scrapbooking, see how popular this is, but sadly my art and craft skills are pretty much rusty, and I thought all the skills are really too much advanced for my amateur level, therefore I decided to go the old conventional way, though adding a bit of DIY ideas. =) I placed the photos in orders of our dates, and put in the places and dates where we went for dates, somehow it felt more meaningful for me. Ha ha, that's the idea I have currently, who knows what stupid ideas I did think of in future. I also gave him a photo frame of our photo, thinking it would be nice if he place it in his room or living room where he can be reminded of me, and the wonderful times we had.

My collegues have constantly raving on how alike we look, especially its the smile when our cheekbone becomes more prominent. I have never really like my angular jaw, as it makes my face appear more chubbier then it should be, and more stern especially with wrong photo taking angle. However the cheekbones and angular jaw have become an identity for us. Hmm, can't help but wonder how comically cute it would be if our kids have the same prominent cheekbones, angular jaw, and nice smile eh?! *chuckles*

As he is 6 years older then me, i have often teased him on how mature he would look when compared to me in a goodnatured manner. Sometimes teasingly address him as "uncle, ojisan" or worst "bei bei/grandfather". I'm blessed to have a boyfriend who's temper is much tamer then mine, for he had not got offended, but laugh goodnaturedly. I know it would probably be a sore feeling, however its actually a good thing to have a mature partner. This thinking have eversince stuck with me after my 1st relationship, for I have felt dissapointed in guys whom is of same of similar gae group as me. I always felt their thinking are immature when compared to mine, especially when it comes to relationship handling stuff.

I have recieved Vincent Van Gogh-starry night painting from him as my 1st valentine's day gift, and is simply stoked! I mean, its my favourite painting of all time, and hwen we saw it in the National Musuem I was totally estatic~ To have my own "fake" starry night is totally awesome! I have not expected it, and its true my boyfriend though seemingly too honest at times, have a lot of tricks up his sleeve to keep me entertain, hanging on suspense, and falling deeper in love with him. =)

Work has been okay, with a few ups and a few downs. I am diagnosed with gastric flu on the 9 feb, and ws severely ill when 8 pm striked. Totally feeling sick to my stomach, cramps and gastric pain is living hell. The intestines felt twisted, and stomach felt like its going to squeeze the life out of you, and you feel nauseaous, weak and total inability to function! Forcing myself to puke was successful, but the feeling of nauseaous stuck with me. I hope morning sickness it never like this, I thought I could die. I had to give a miss for O&G party 2012 due to it (though I don't really regret too much, however I manage to help out with the make up and hair do). The night's sleep was restless, I felt like I was going to die of suffocation, chest pain, nauseous constantly to the point when I force myelf to vomit gastric fluid. =.= I hate gastric pain!!!!

I'm loving every moment with him, and hope I will continue to do so in many more days, years to come.

Oyasumi~

Its the starting on the new lunar new year, welcoming the water dragon, and the beginning of midwives nightmare, haha. Singapore will be so happy to recieve this baby boom. I think we gotta train up on our agility, speed and actions =)

Chinese New Year have been really fun so far. Renuion dinner at Pu Tein, and the usual lunar new year first day- rushing house to house visits, and enjoying collecting ang baos. ^-^

This time round for 2nd day of lunar new year was different, went over to Si Te's residence to pay visit to his parents, and have lunch. Coincidentially his mum's younger and elder sister popped over. >.<"'' Sweat~ But I would say it went relatively well, without major hiccups. His place is huge and really nice. Its interior design is done by his mother, I am really impressed, I'm sure when she refurbish the other house, it will be as equally stunning. They are really chinese traditional folks whom are into tea cereomy, tea drinking... very interesting hobby. =) His parents are really nice, and both his dogs are really uber active and friendly too. I'm glad they are those unapproachable, probing, mean parents we all dread to encounter. =D

Thereafter we went to Sentosa to visit- Flower Festival. =) Thankfully the weather was kind to us, it did not rain, so we manage to explore the entire exhibits which are really nice. Revisited "our spot", and there I shared my offical kiss with him. Haha. On the excuse of "revision". We can be quite lame at times, maybe its just the honeymoon phrase of corny sweetness =) But I am enjoying this feeling so far.

I am enjoying his company so far, loving every moment spend with him. I really do appreciate him for his willingness to be really thoughtful and caring, which I would say I never dreamt a guy would really treat me so well. I will say, he's wonderful, a dream come true. Yes, he had done things I dreamt as a girl, and he had made it happen, without me telling him my secret wantings, isn't it awesome?!

Hmm, okay just like making food for me. Bringing me to a place I say I want to go. Sending me from home because I'm not feeling well. Willing to be a part of my family, and take effort to blend in with my parents. Protecting me from monkeys, an chivarous act I will say. Planning for dates, and surprising me with things he said to make it come true. Like a bouquet of roses, followed by movie and dinner (a little poem he said once in passing). Willing to be pulled around the city to search for my cravings, and when they can't be found and I got really disheartened and upset, he still wishes to carry out the search to yet another venue. A really noble and sweet gesture for a guy ( guys never like shopping~). Bringing me to see sun sets, and see the sky of stars. And yes, never failing to make my heart skip a beat whenever he whispers sweet nothings. Really feel fortunated and so loved.

I wonder what stroke of luck I had, to have made such a wonderful chap. Someone brought up by a fine family, well-mannered, polite, matured, thoughtful, big-hearted, emcopassing, loving and sensible. And he really doesn't look bad, he has the wonderful sunny smile I love in any guy whom eyes twinkle when he smiles, he has a hearty laugh, and broad shoulders to lean on when I'm totally drained from the day's activities. Our hands interwined just so perfectly, as if made for each other. He's intelligent, a jack of all trades, enriched with broad knowledge I admire, humourous and lame in mixture. Someone whom I can totally rave about, but I think anyone reading this will say I'm totally fallen head over heels and blinded. So I shall stop saying...

I will say he's someone whom I really want to do my best, without the feeling of pressure to perform well. And that is the first time I ever feel this well. =D

Perhaps if one day I get upset with him, this post might remind myself, on the fact that we are totally different people, but similar in many other ways. =)

Been on several dates with Si Te and it always had been a delight going out with him.

It could be his thoughtful gentlemanly ways, it could also be the little things he did that made me decide to try again for love this time round.

He's the first guy who took my words seriously, rather than face value, and made things come true. Such as bringing me to seletar reservoir and handmade sushi-s for dinner.

He's someone whom truly appreciates arts, and wouldn't find it a bore to go on dates to musuems. Instead we could be candidly exchanging our views on different art pieces and musuem show pieces, they may come off insightful, or even silly, yet feeling abashed about them.

He's someone whom doesn't mind going on long walks, and goes treking around half a day in nature, being a navigator in the process. In the henderson trail, he commented that we braved through rain and sunshine. Very much literally speaking =) Well, still I was glad he came along, for I would have been very much lost with the new marang trail and labrador park trail, and helpless when the canopy hill top walk was barricaded mid way. =)

It could have first started when I candidly mentioned about the lack of mistletoes locally during Christmas, and he created mistletoes with text messages icons.

It could also be the lameness he sprout, and makes me either laughing or staring at him with an incredulous look, commenting how crows are flying over our heads that instant.

No one is perfect of course, he's slightly as clumsy as me, can be as blur as me, but it could be adorable in some sense. But he does have the good side of him.

I am thankful for the good family upbringing his parents incalcated, to be a fine chap.

He does seemed to be a barrel of surprises, which I hope the pleasure of knowing each other more will continue.

Being with him sometimes, feel like I found a soulmate whom matches my interests, intellectual level, and sometimes even exceeds my expectations. =)

I'm just back from the hair dresser. Snip off 2 inches of my hair, not that it was planned originally. I was thinking of trimming my hair to previous chich hair style like before, but when I saw my old waves, I left the decision to my hairstylist whom is extremely fond seeing me in short hair. So yeah. From my short rebonded hair style to side swpet bangs to a even shorter hairstyle. I think I look cute and young. Muahahaha =p





Oh well, I hope it will last me for months before I decide to go for yet another hairstyle change =)





Went on another date with him on Sunday. As I guessed he really brought me to Seletar Resevoir to watch the sunset. According to him, its the most beautiful place in SIngapore, and a fantastic place for sunset. Even though we did not get to catch the magnificient sunset that he claimed will paint the sky red due to heavy cloud covers, the weather was pretty good. =)





I was impressed by him. Maybe for once a guy was true to his word with a hint of surprise. =D


Sunday's date was meant to be a surprise, so I was just guessing about the venue, as he instructed me to dress down, and I did not want to spoil the surprise. =D Oh well, I was really touched that he made sushi as dinner for our date. The fillings include, unagi (our fav), sausages, with fish roe and glass prawn. Maybe its the first time a guy was true to his words to bring me to a place he promise he will bring me to, and really got his hands down to make a meal on our date. * uber happy *





Even though he was not a fan of wasabi, and does not dip his sushi in soya sauce, he did prepare the condiments in case we needed it. Simple gestures meant a lot. He made those sushi after his work and rushed for our date. Another bonus point for him I believe. He also prepared refreshments and the surprise dessert- strawberries that brought forth the adventure of our evening.





As we sat on the ledge to enjoy the scenery of the fresh water, overlooking the mandai zoo, watching the sun set and enjoying the sea breeze. His sushis are really good. I gonna learn how to make them, in trade of my steaming skills. =D

The flavors of sushi includes our favourites- unagi, prawns, fish roe, and sausages. He ccould not get tomago which was fine. I totally appreciate that he rush from his work to get those ingredients to prepare the sushi for our date. Extra bonus points. Hehe. Well he prepared condiments- soya sauce and wasabi even though he doesn't take them, which was very kind of him. And also prepared refreshments as well as surprise dessert- strawberries.

The thrill begun when dessert was brought out. A monkey invaded our peace, even attempted to steal our picnic belongings. It was totally fearless, not scared of scolding, threats and exxagerated shooing movements. In fact it got more agitated. Wrong move. Hahah. Managed to escape by packing our things swiftly, however when we changed our venue further up it followed up. God forbid =.=

Thankfully there was another family near us, which helped in chasing the moneky away, which of course was a tough fight. Thankfully it was just a monkey, else I think we are dead meat. Totally fearless =.=" In the midst of all the event I stumbled a little and he managed to catch my hand. Ah.. just a brief moment, before we jumped apart. >.>" Embrassing!! Oh well, his my knight in shining armour that evening, hahaha.

Oh well, thankfully we enjoyed the rest of the evening in peace, as we took our conversation up at the tower overlooking the night scenery till around 9pm plus. We then had ice cream as dessert near the vicinity. It was a gelato cafe with clean, bright yet comfortable atmosphere, however the place it also pretty reasonably priced. We really talked a lot that day, which I totally appreciated. =)

I guess its the first time a guy whom honour his promise in bringing me to a place and also to get hsi hands down to make a meal for a picnic. One of my dream dates I must admit. *blush*
Afterall I must say its a really a special experience, and by date one of the best dates I ever went out to. =D

I have totally forgotten about Free New Year's admission to National Musuem to view Dreams & Reality including Van Gogh paintings.

I was discussing with my Night collegue son my first night that I was to enjoy the free admission with much approval from my Doctor, though I cleanly forgotten as my New Year's Night was rather busy after 3am strikes. Lolz. It was really kind and unexpected of him to invite me along to view the art pieces, if not I would hve regretted not going for this golden ooportunity.

There are a few art pieces that caught my eyes, especially the Lady in Black and Starry Night. Breathtaking, really really awesome! I can't wait to go Europe and see the Museum, I heard its at the loft where you did get to see Da vinci paintings and Mona Lisa. =D

Besides from that, I was glad we were able share our views about the different paintings, the colours, strokes, and also the different exhibits on arts, fashion, food, media etc... Its really enlightening how he has knowledge about astrology, historical sphinx etc. Which I feel is pretty knowledgable. Interesting things to learn =)

We had dinner at fish & co and I did enjoy the conversation over the meal. Sharing experiences over past dating experiences, him being harassed by gays, how his parents attempt to do match making, how funny his mum can be. Shared about my dating experiences, our parental views over marriage etc. Pretty fun.

Going out tmr on a surprise date, I hope things will go smoothly. =) Shall enjoy myself, and just go with the flow.

peace

Counting down tonight at labour ward, hopefully we will be comfortably seating on our counter, having our supper, watching tv on fireworks, and pretty much relax =)

*Keeping our fingers cross*

So far I am enjoying my conversations with the guy, he seemed really nice. Though of course all guys are nice from the beginning. One good thing about him is that he is appreciative of my work and is proactive in finding out about my job scope and keen to know what I do for my occupation. Unlike Daniel whom decided he does not want to feel stupid after hearing the tons of foreign knowledge abotu obstetric. That's something I would appreciate in a man.

A relationship to be should be nurturing. I would like to learn new things from him, discover new things together with him and grow together. So far I am feeling good vibes from him, but I really do not know what the future beholds for me. I just hope to improve myself as 2012 comes along and I will be happy, healthy and feel blessed + blissed.

By far we have encountered morning, afternoon and now night shift in our brief meeting of each other, and I think he is putting effort to know my schedule well, accomodating and understanding. =) I wonder how long this will keep up though, hopefully it is sincere and keen, rather than just some short term- just because I am interested in you kinda stuff.

He isn't the most successful chap I have known that's for sure, but I rather have a guy who is willing to put ine ffort to his work, be passionate about it, and really works for it with a clear goal. Which he possess. He has good upbringing, strong family support, knows how to cook and loves dogs =) So far nothing much to complain about.

Let's give and take and discover more new things about each other yeah? He is appreciative that I am understanding (stuff that ex boyfriends *chuckles*), okay seriously, maybe as I experience more downs in my encounter with opposite gender. I have learnt rather to stand put and wait for their action, rather then chase after them, and worrying whether they will be asking me out things like that. Occasional proactive of my part like being receptive, appreciative and non-pressuring is something I have learnt, and hope to continue honing up the skills. Is it what they call- kite flying? Holding on, letting go, pulling back? I am tired of all the games guys play, if they are interested they will do everything in the world to make you happy, but once they lost their interest in you, attention wanes and you will feel deserted again. I like the saying by him,"It is true that there aren't many nice guys, but not that little balance. However there's always one nice guy that fits you the best." I gonna keep that optimisism up, and hope the right one comes along, and by then I have learnt through past experience to cherish and nurture it.

He mentioned that going through all past experiences will be worth it when you meet the right person, which strike me as the "love philosophy" which I post on my fb since several several years ago. We really need to truly understand it don't we. Maybe its a sign that we are matured slightly... a little at least. =D

Cheers everyone.

Even if things do not work out for us, I will still thank him for making my Christmas Special and magical. And also for allowing me to realise more about the love philosophy I always tried to understand since before. =)
