Hong Kong Day 4 & 5
Just realised that i dont have the full set of HK Disneyland photos cos my camera memory exploded just halfway through the day and gordon have to continue the snapping using his old casio camera… :(
Therefore, we shall skip day 3 and go straight to the 6th and 7th of June 2009 :)
6th June was a saturday – the day when cindy held her hong kong wedding dinner! So i just hung out at sheung shui the whole day shopping for essentials like a small hairdryer in the loveliest pink, shampoo & conditioner for damaged hair (yes that will be mine), while gordy looked around for good cameras.Then we had to hurry home to prep for the evening!
Dinner was a small but cosy affair with 5 tables at the dad’s favourite restaurant. The 12-course feast was fantabulous! It was crazy delicious although its cheaper and not held at a hotel. Didnt take any photos …cos we had to like, stand there and properly welcome the guests… I’ll get photos from charlie when i have the chance!
On Sunday we went to the church at waterloo road. The speaker they invited was an old lady who was blessed with an intriguing way of putting across her sermons. The service was in cantonese, but although i could only catch 60% of what she said, i was thankful for what i could understand. Then we went to meet Eddie for dim sum at Maxims palace, grand century plaza!
Hong Kong Day 1 & 2
Flew to Hong Kong with the Boy via Jetstar on the 3rd June 2009! :)
On day 1 we had a simple dinner at cafe de coral at the airport with uncle wong.
The next day began with our ‘usual’ breakfast of satay beef macaroni and bolobao! yum yum.
Day 2 : Shopping at Shatin! Raided Uniqlo for my favourite cut of jeans and bought some work shirts and a pair of denims. Afternoon tea was at Mun Kee, one of our usual dessert shops in hong kong also. haha.
We had dinner at home on day 2… I actually miss aga’s cooking too!
She cooks the awesomest (though oiliest) food! :p
Starting to feel at home at gordie’s hk abode now – afterall, i’ve been there 4 times already! :)
Spending time with the boy is always something i treasure very much…
Day 3 : Disneyland! Hopefully i’ll have time to post it up tmr :)
Back from Hong Kong!
Me back from the land of yummy food and shopping! :)
It was a very packed holiday with activities every single day… but fruitful nonetheless. I have never been so worn out from a holiday trip before though! And well, i really thank God for the boyfriend – else i have to crack my head planning out my daily routes on top of shopping, eating and meeting friends… im quite sure i’ll just fall flat on my face with exhaustion!
Awesome getaway from the dreary everyday work but its gonna be the start of another work week soon!
Nooooo…!
These are definitely not mosquito bites
I highly suspect that i’ve been food for the bed bugs under william’s old bed for the past week…
Cos they look and itch really bad – even now when im back in singapore. :(
Gordon – I think you better haul up the mattress and take out all the bugs with insecticide before they feast on you too!
I love you more each day
It started with 999 virtual blue roses.
And… i still love to be showered with them every now and then. :)
Look how much we’ve changed for each other…
Look at how we’re blossoming in God’s blessings.
He is what helps us endure and grow stronger each day.
And closer as the years pass us by.
The occasional indulgences are always nice to have.
But all i need is you.
I dont need riches or fame or an extravagant lifestyle…
I am happy with the simple things in life.
Like you.
And you.
And oh, you. :)
Until we’re old and greying.
Prayerfully, in great health.
Til the very end.
Til eternity.
The boy and me in Macau :)
Bought a warm starbucks dark choc mocha to warm up on a surprisingly cool summer morning :)
My cutesy boyfriend who looks like pin guan – or so 95% of my friends say. haha.

31 May 2008 – 8 June 2008 HONG KONG
11 June 2008 – 20 June 2008 CALIFORNIA
:)
I miss you.
Err. This is bad angle for me man. Can see my elephant thighs and penguin blubbers from here. But i love the happy faces in this pic so im putting it up anyways. :)
I’ve always knew that Gordon hates to 应酬，but although he was reluctant, he still decided to come along with me to meet my friends – just so he can protect me i guess. Well I reckon that without him, i might be more carefree while im with them; but after the outing i will dread the necessity to weave through the crowds on my own… Making my way home myself, with no sturdy chest to lean against & chunky arms to form a barricade against those touchy cl people.
I really thank God that he is willing to make the tiny sacrifices just for me. He may not be the sweetest boyfriend around, not like those who’d express their love so evidently with flowers every month or pricey treats on anniversaries.
But i can always feel his love language working its way into my heart through the littlest things such as these. And i really appreciate it sweetie. Thank you so much. :)
In good hands.
I started off today with a call from the beloved. A morning call, because he’d gone to China with his papa in the morning to settle some admin thingeys and couldnt wake me up in person.
But after 5 days of waking up everyday to see this lovely boy of mine first thing in the morning, i didnt seem to wanna get out of bed, knowing that he wont be around for the morning hug anyhoos.
As a result, i was very late. Heh. Ended up meeting joanne for lunch at Argyle Centre (yes, again.) Dai Ga Lok. The curry pork chop rice was uber good, while joanne barely touched her noodles, only the beef and veggies. I supposed thats how hk girls keep their figures – starch is a dead serious taboo.
We twirled around Argyle centre from 2pm to 5pm, then rushed over to Langham place to get a Lancome lippie for her friend’s birthday party later on. All i can say is, joanne is a darrrrn good bargainer. I love shopping with her not just cos of that, but also becos she’d help carry my bags, she loves shopping too, and she has the same taste of clothes as me! Gordon came to pick me up at the Landmark north shopping centre – he wanted to get somemore QQ (these little cupcake thingeys that costs $10HKD for 10; ie just 20singapore cents each!)..and then we had a good dinna at home. Aga’s cooking is just awesome. :)
I got used to him bringing me around all day long. I liked the feeling of being watched over and being protected always. I feel more at ease, more relaxed, happier. When Im with him, i just need to make the tiny decisions to facilitate the day. I rarely need to use my brain to navigate, just for deciding what food to eat and which stuffs to buy.
It came to a point, it seems, that i dont even care if im lost & directionless as long as im with him, because i know that he’d get us to our destinations somehow. I just love and trust him so much that i believe that he will be able to do just that, and so i will just rely on him. So far, he did bring me around everywhere as planned. And although most of the time i didnt know where i am, i knew that he did, i knew we were safe, and i knew we were heading somewhere.
Im abit confused now. Am i talking about my boyfriend?
‘Cos.
This sounds alot like my sentiments towards the presence of God in my life too.
Hmm..
Maybe, its both.
:)
5th day in Hong Kong
So far, so good?
A gross understatement.
Im really loving this place. And i dont think it’s because of the place. More like the people. The food. The environment. The life in Hong Kong.
I hang out with the one person that makes the world of a difference to my life every single day. And frankly he’s all i need to keep me happy. I dont expect much, really. When im with him, my arms automatically find their way around his; the way a climber plant twirls round its sturdy form of support. When we touch i still feel the vibes. And i often find me smiling to myself, looking quite silly im sure. But i just cant help it lei.
Of course, i couldnt pass up the opportunity to meet all my hk friends. Tuesday was dinner and ktv with jackie, jacky, helen, karen, helen, kay, roy & jialing. What a delightful experience. 120 hkd for a fantastic dinner buffet & 4 hours of songs! Wednesday yumcha w jialing at shatin then blasted 250hkd at tiandao, a christian bookshop. Thursday i went crazy. I typhooned through the 1st & 2nd level of mongkok spending close to 1000 hkd. Then afterwards i went to City U to play pingpong with jackie. Friday saw us meeting up with eddie, kameron & eunice & we ate at a macau cafe in tsim sha tsui. Had a hard time splitting up with the gang, i could see tt ed wanted to linger longer. I felt so bad for shaking him off in a way. But i felt worse tt poor gordie had to tag along like a toy on a leash for the entire day, so i wanted to give him some time – just the 2 of us. We ended up shopping at G2k and ended the day at Central after dinner with auntie ida.
After today, i so can feel my age.
My back is aching like mad and im gonna crash right after this entry.
And, sigh.
I pity gordon to have a girlfriend like me.
But i feel so blessed that he is my boyfriend.
So actually, i thank God that life is unfair sometimes. :)
Today we were at Jordan & we saw a cup of corns splattered on the streets. Gordy looked at me & said, “hmm, someone is trying to be corny.” And Junney stoned for awhile like she always does becos she is slow, rolled her eyes, and said, “now SOMEONE..is really trying hard to be corny.”
Some things just never change. :)
I dont know what i ever did to deserve him. As far as i know, i did nothing but dung. My past was a smelly smear of shit which i have already forgotten. But nothing of that smelly past really matters to him, so it doesnt matter to me too. Just like how im short and stocky and not very pretty but he doesnt even care. “What matters is within,” he’d say.
Just like how God loves us so much although we did nothing to deserve it. Nothing but feculence. Nothing but lies, hatred, and defiance. He’d give us so many chances to believe although we keep resisting. He doesnt care whether u’re tall or short, pretty or ugly, smelly or smellier. God looks into your heart. What really matters is within. And when i got baptised, my new life begins.
I wonder what i would’ave become if i hadnt met him.
Gosh. Really. Thank God.
