ouch!

i am in pain!
and i've no mood to do anything.
it's the wisdom tooth.
if only i can make the pain go away.
*sighs*
i am sure child labour has the same amount of pain or perhaps even worst.


the only way i distract myself is to look through pictures of the partner and me.
every pictures tell a story.
and certain emotions accompanied me while i browse through our pictures.


no matter how much arguments we get into,
both of us know that we don't want to lose one another.
it's a reminder for us to be strong,
and makes us cherish our relationship even more.
while the good times are great memories to be remembered.

i really love him.

and there's no one else i rather be with.

he brings out the best in me and we both want each other to be happy.

till the end,

you and me together,

happily together.

fly again!

i'll be taking a plane again,
now...
to bangkok.

i'll be away from tomorrow till late sunday.
3 more days without the partner.
*sighs*
this time round,
it's with the win council members,
something that i'm new to.

right now,
i'm surfing the net to find places to shop.
and it seems like there's a lot.
now,
i'm getting excited!!

i went out late last night,
all to surprise the partner.

i knew he was playing soccer late night,
imagining him all sweaty and tired,
i got him a 1.45 litres of chill heaven and earth's green tea and pocky.
=)

from a distance,
i've managed to narrow my sight to a familiar figure balancing the ball with his legs.
he didn't noticed me till i was much closer.
and the reaction he gave me was priceless.
his eyes suddenly sparkle.
i sensed his happiness and excitement to see me.
he went straight up to welcome his girlfriend.

after settling down,
show him the green tea and he smiled just like a small boy.

sweetheart,
you're so cute lah.
i love you!

plenty of dates together!

eversince i touch down,
the partner and i have been spending lots of happy time together.
first up,
we went to collect out travel voucher!
weee.
tokyo disneyland,
here i come again!

honey,
i can't wait to spend time with you and your parents in japan!





very late that night,
we went out to play taboo with his 4 colleagues.
it was so fun that time flies!
we were aiming to go home at 2am but we ended reaching home later than 3am.
i really enjoyed myself.



the guys doing the forfeit.


yeah,
it was sour warheads.
the least they had to eat was 2, max was 5.


the 2 guys,
cool and relax.


while the partner,
got all stressed up!


ahha!
the guys really took their revenge.
the 3 ladies had to finish up the sweets.
9 sour sweets each.
haiyamak!




on saturday,
after accompanied him for soccer,
we head down to west coast park to have our dinner.
such peaceful scenery with great company!
=)




sunday,
after the lesson,
we had such good bonding time with mama in's family and the kids.

as for yesterday,
his parents trusted me to drive their few months old car,
just to fetch the partner and send him for soccer training.
i never thought that they would let me drive it alone.

head over his house to have dinner prepared by his mom.
=)

for the past few days,
me and the partner have been talking about our future and our past.
i've got a rough idea when he's proposing to me.
HAHAHA!
not so soon though.
=p
and i can foresee our house is such and such.

sweetheart,
you make me realised so much things about myself.
i love you for all time.

disney! day 8, 9, 10!

you shouldn't skip this album!
it's the day when we went tokyo's disneyland!!
it was so nice and magical that i want to come again!
=)
9am to 9pm is not enough for you to venture all!
by the end of the night,
you are just too tired that you will sleep soundly.
and oh yes,
make sure you bring along extra batteries and have enough memory space for many, many, many, many pictures!!

disney day! (day 8)

day 9 was kinda slack.
the others were enthusiatic that they went to buy more souvenirs,
whereas me and shikin were too tired to walk too much.
we head out with a goal in mind,
to find for the partner's transformers then slack at the hostel!
the partner printed out a list of transformers for me to get.
after much searching,
i told him i didn't get for him.

day 9

the last day!
hooray!
we went to the airport early morning so that we won't be late for our flight home.
=)
all of us were really excited to go home!
shikin and i can't wait to eat chicken!
10 days with no chicken was bad.

the moment i reached terminal 3,
my eyes were searching for the partner.
and from afar,
i saw him grinning!
and yes!
i've got a big hug from him.
it was such a cosy hug!
and that hug told me how much he missed me.

the partner brought me to a new place for dinner.
and he drove me home.
=)
show him a pair of ring and gave him one,
and i have the other.
while at home,
after giving out the things that i'm supposed to give to,
that was when i suprised him with a limited edition transformer which costs a lot lot!
he was very pleased with it.

day 10

honey,
to make you happy makes me happy.
because you deserved the best!
i love you sweetheart.

day 5, 6, 7

day 5,
was an exciting day.
experienced an earthquake at 8.44am (japan time).
i was about to have my breakfast when there was an alarm on the tv.
all i know, the whole house is shaking.
the photo frame that was hanging was slanted, the fish tank went wobbly, thank goodness, it didn't crashed on the floor.
it was scary.

an hour later,
went out with my host for japanese dance.
it was tough!
i was sweating inside the kimono,
the steps are slow and beautiful.
the dance excerises your whole body and really stretch your every muscles.

went to have japanese sweet!
it was nice!
i wish to have somemore.
=)
however the traditional japanese tea was bitter.

the host taught me how to fold a crane, which i've forgetten.
had hot noodles for lunch.
nice!

her husband and her brought me to a shrine, supermarket and the top of the city.
it has a magnificent view at the top!
i can even see the pacific ocean.

for dinner,
they prepared japanese pizza and fried noodles.
=)
they are really nice hosts.
and i am glad to have met them.
they made me feel comfortable and teach me a thing or two about basketball since her husband and son loves basketball.
haha.
it was indeed a good experience.

day 5

on the 6th day,
it was the last day of the homestay programme.
the committe had a thank you party for the host families.
we did a song and dance performance.
=)
thank goodness it all went well!

day 6

day 7,
we spent our last day in the sendai hostel and pack our things for tokyo!
the first few pictures taken were pictures of the sendai's hostel.
it was about 5 hours bus ride and we've reached our tokyo's hostel.
and we venture out on our own!

day 7

day 2, 3, 4

on the 2nd day,
we went to matsushima bay,
an island with shrines.

we took a cruise for 45 mins to reach the destination,
some of them were feeding the seagulls with prawn crackers.
of course i didn't participate with them,
for fear of getting bitten.
haha.

the greenery was fanstastic!

we roamed the shopping area at sendai station.
it was a 2km road filled with shops.
it was tiring.
at the end of the day,
both shikin and i got ourselves cream puffs for supper!

day 2 in japan

for the 3rd day,
we had to travel to another town to a samurai place.
we were given a chance to put on the armor.
there were many layers of "clothings"
it was heavy i tell you,
it is made up of metals so as a sword can't go through it during battle.
nevertheless,
it was fun!

for lunch we went to a huge black cottage.
there were so many dishes that i didn't finish it.
afterwhich we went to a place where samurai's lived.
the garden was so beautiful!

we visited kankanu museum.
i was so impressed with the museum,
an interactive museum that shows creativity.
=)
too bad photography is not allowed in the museum.

day 3

day 4,
we head to miyagi university and interact with the students.
friendly people.
we got to attend 2 of their lectures.
the school is so beautiful, nice interior and exterior design with a lake to see.
it doesn't even look like a school.

day 4,
13 june was the day when we are being homestayed.
all of us were nervous while waiting for our host.
3 days, 2 nights.
my host family was really nice,
she prepared me traditional japanese food.
and makes me feel comfortable.

day 4

sunday with the partner's touch

the sunday was simply great with the partner's touch.

met him at mama in's house.
and our sunday kicked start from there.

help him out with his poster and he hang out over at my house.
afterwhich we head out for a movie,
kung fu panda!
you will never regret watching it!
a hilarious show that you can take back a lesson from it.
believe in yourself.
a good to watch movie!

and i've got myself a camera!
since my gift voucher is gonna expired this 22nd,
might as well use it.
it was a gift from my yec friends for my 21st birthday!
they know that i wanted a camera,
and this was why they got me gift vouchers.

thanks guys!
i'm gonna have a good time with you guys at japan!

now now,
another 20 hours when i'll be away from the partner.
as much as i'm trying not to remind myself that i'm going japan,
reality sets in.
i am going to miss him.
i've got his sweater to remind me of his scent,
something to make me at ease.

i am trying to be independent,
excited to venture the streets of japan and enjoy my experiences.
but at the same time,
i realised something is missing,
the partner.
he is not going to be with me to enjoy it together with me.
you know the feeling when you know deep down inside that something is missing, no matter how happy you are?

i know he'll miss me too.
and he will try to let time pass with work and soccer.
i know my partner too well.
hah!


no matter how dark it gets,
our love still glows.

sweetheart,
my love for you is as wide as the universe.

food, a must!

having to travel to hk before and after experiencing a tough time getting food,
this time around,
i am smart enough.
i have more than enough junk food for the next upcoming 10 days.


1. 4 cup noodles
2. 2 packets of instant mushroom soup
3. 1 box of collon biscuits
4. 8 nyam nyam rice crispy that i can't simply have enough
5. a box of koko krunch
6. chocolate waffles biscuits
7. ritz biscuits
8. chocolate biscuits
9. hello panda's biscuits
10. 2 packets of nuts

how can it not be suffice?
shikin is bringing hers too.
that means can share. =)
let's hope we won't be putting on excess fat on this trip.
haha.
i am trying to minimize space for food because i have yet to pack my clothes!

anyway,
with the help of the partner's,
he help me decide what to get for my host family.
and below are the souvenirs i got for them.



mustafa's is the best place to shop!

and today,
after the dance practice,
the partner came to my rescue when i had to bring a big box home.
and he surprised me some snacks that i mentioned above.
thanks sweetheart!

both the partner and i have been trying to spend a lot of time together this past few days.
since last thursday,
we watched indiana jones and have a great date together. =)
we shopped at mustafa center and eat our usual naan. =)
he came over my house to hang out with me. =)
and tomorrow another date.

yesterday,
i had a hard time sleeping.
i was up thinking about the partner and the tears flowed and wet my pillow sheet.
about how much he has changed his ways to suit my emotional needs.
about how we managed to laugh off our arguments, and also keeping in mind the lessons learnt.
about how he gently take my head and place it on his chest (either to console me or to let me smell his armpit)
about how we discuss about the future. (like yesterday, how he was imagining our wedding and describing it to me)
he's not perfect,
but he's the best for me.
i am forever grateful.
to love is to learn the greatest lessons in life.

my host family

i've received an email regarding my host family.
the host family that i will be staying with for 3 days 2 nights when i'm in japan.
no shikin.
haiyamak! how?!!

i will be having a 'brother' who is 20 years old and 'parents'.
i really have no idea how's my 3 days gonna be like.
will they bring me to special places or are we gonna stay at home and watch dramas all day long?
what dishes will i be eating?
*daydreaming*

mom got a little worried when i told her i'll be alone with the family.
reassured her that i'll call her when i've reached the host family place.

let's hope everything will be fine.
=)

honey,
who knows the 'brother' collects transformers too?
haha.

bring your own bag.

my eyes were wide open since 4am.
which i tried to toss and turn to put myself to sleep for almost an hour.
it was a failure, which is the reason why i'm blogging my entry right now.

dear shikin and i went to shop,
for food!
so that when we're in japan,
and we're feeling a little hungry,
we have some handy food to keep us full temporarily.
it won't be that bad right?
we can see have japan's biscuits and sweets over there to fulfill our sweet cravings.
*grins*
cakes and ice cream too!

as it was wednesday,
after being out with her, that i realised that recently the bring your own bag (byob) campaign is happening on every wednesdays now,
instead of the first week of wednesday.
give it time,
i believe it will be every day.

since we don't want to waste $0.10 on a plastic bag,
and also we care for the environment,
we stuffed the items bought into our bags.
i was bringing my handbag whereas shikin a tote bag.
so it's another reason why you should carry big hangbags.



the cup noodles and the 2 packets of mushroom soups.


readers,
do not forget to bring your own bag when you head to any supermarket on wednesdays.
=)

we head down to the cc to finish up on the time consuming cum confusing puzzle,
which each of us had one for us to complete.
it was confusing because of the sky.
we need to be meticulous in order for every single piece to join perfectly, without any holes.
with the help of others, we both took more than 2 hours to complete the sky itself.



i had enough of puzzles for now.

my throat is sore.
and i am so not liking it.

4 more days
and i am still unprepared.
i am excited yet sad.
but i know with shikin by my side,
everything's gonna be alright.
she has been my pillar that i can rely on.
the one that has been there for me, no matter how sick she is.
our friendship goes back to our primary school days,
at how childish we were (those i don't gang you moments) to now,
when we're matured.
a true friend that i truly care about.
i know i can never thank her enough.
i love her.
thanks sweet ol' pal.

and suliza,
you're not forgotten.

sweetheart,
by now,
you should already know how much i love you.
=)

i've met him.

apart from having only 2 hours of sleep,
and not having much rest,
the partner came over at 9pm to see me.
all because i miss him.
he, too misses me.
and that made my night.

he told his mom that he's seeing me because i miss him.
and his mom laughed upon hearing that.
thanks ah honey, so nice of you.
-_-

we had ice cream while watching tv.

weeee!

i don't need any lavish dates to keep me happy and satisfied.
it's the simple things in every day life that makes my life worth it.
just him by my side,
him being himself and me being myself,
where we can fart, burp, scratch freely with each other presence,
teased each other,
and at times,
squabbling over the remote control and the channels to watch,
what matters are we are true to ourselves and we are definitely enjoying each other's company.
one compliment from him that made me smile,
"woah honey, you really know how to pamper me"
sweetheart,
just like what you said,
everything that i do is out of loving you.
i, too feel that way.

since we won the challenge,
we received a free workshop for couples that is worth $250
http://www.family.org.sg/connect2.html
we have applied for it,
and we hope that it will be of great help to us in understanding each other much better and also to build a stronger relationship.

sweetheart,
you're a joy to my life.
and i appreciate you coming over and spend time with your missus.
i love you darling.
thursday baby!
*hugs&tickles&kisses*

yearn.

right now as i'm blogging this away,
and even though i am chatting with him,
i am missing the partner,
terribly.

10 days.
the longest days apart.
definitely i am going to yearn for the partner,
wishing he was there with me to witness the moments together.
i might just stare at his pictures on the flight, before i head to sleep, when i wake up, when i have the free time, when travelling.
i sound sick,
yes,
love sick.
if i really can't stand it,
when i am at the point of crying,
the video calls will come in handy.
and with that i'll just brighten up. (i hope)

all i wish is that i won't have tears in my eyes while checking in at the airport.
afterwhich,
i imagined the partner embracing me with a hug that expresses love, care and concern.
while doing so,
i take in his scent and whisper my feelings for him.
separated by the clear partition,
i'll look back and gave him a final look,
which i will be rewarded by a smile and a wink.
and that will make me smile.

shikin,
i really need you to distract me.
haha.

honey,
what charm have you placed upon me till i can't get enough of you?
and baby,

i love you.

what a start!

my first of june was pretty hectic.

apart from sleeping at 3 am the night before,
i had to wake up at 7.30 am to help out at an event at the cc.

the event stretched from 9 am to 3pm,
meanwhile in between,
i had to excuse myself as i had maths tuition with the 3 boys.

after the event,
i had to rush over to mama in's house so as i can catch up with the religious aspect of my life.
it was the first lesson,
and i had to admit it was good.
doubts were being answered.
i believe religion helps one to have a way of life and to seek oneself.
it's a beauty of life.

for today,
i woke up with a smile when i noticed an sms from the sweetheart.
i had read it more than 10 times and it still feels insufficient.
it was just something that i needed.
thanks honey.

whenever i visit my own blog,
i felt frustrated,
because i had to wait for so long for the blog entries to load.
thank you readers for willing to wait a little while to read my daily reminiscences.
now,
you don't have to wait thaaaat long to read my entries.
=)
did some experiments on the template.

after much thinking,
i've applied for autoroam.
all because i want to share my every single day experiences in japan with the partner and my family, especially mom and fatin.

sweetheart,
being with you is just magical.

i read through some entries way back
and the below is what i'm feeling for you.

an entry from 12 may '06

is this what you call love?
when i keep thinking of you?
when i close your eyes, there you are.
when i'll keep smiling to myself when i think of the joyous and silly moments we had?
when my bad mood changes to a very very good one when i'm about to see you?
when my inbox are filled with yours?
when your smses make me radiant?
when words are insufficient to describe how i feel for you?
when i keep talking about you?
when there's that trust to make me at ease?
when i 'feel' when love songs are being played?
when i get all weak in the knees when i heard your voice?
when i never fail to kiss our ring at the end of the day?
when i see our future together?

if it's true,
i'm in deep trouble as i'm so in love.
i've found my prince charming.
the one that awoken me from my deep sleep.
and make me realised what i've missed.

2 years had past,
but i am very much in love with you sweetheart!

jigsaw puzzle!

excuse me readers,
i was too engrossed in the jigsaw puzzle that it took some time off from blogging.

one of the few souvenirs for the japanese counterpart.






currently,
it's 80% done.
=)
it's been a while since i last completed a jigsaw puzzle.
and it was a little frustrating when i have 2 pieces that fit but the picture didn't match.
it must have the perfect fit in order to complete it successfully.

apart from that,
i was busy with doing up a blog for an event,
http://www.challengeshield5.blogspot.com/

the partner and i watched the chronicles of narnia late last night.
it has some hilarious scenes in the movie that you have to laugh.
overall,
it was a nice movie, not fantastic.

by the end of the date,

the partner and i had a talk to revive our relationship.

it's amazing what love does.

the last time we watched narnia was about 3 years ago,
a date with the partner, who was then considered as a friend of mine.
it was evening when we met up,
he wanted to celebrate my 19th birthday.
which i was surprised that he gave me an ipodnano for a gift.
he really pampered me (for a friend)
and that date was perfect.
what made me fall for him is his sincerity and determination to win my heart (even though i wasn't that interested in him, perhaps only 35%)
it was then i realised that he could be the one.

sweetheart,
i am falling in love with you all over again.

from my january' 06 entry.
i can't stop smiling.
i can't stop recalling.
i can't stop thinking.
i can't stop wondering.

all these because of you.

i've realised that i've got a treasure.
full of worth.
full of value.
a treasure which should be kept safely.

i can't help it.
i'm just proud of you.
really am.

every day and night,
it starts with you.
you complete my day.

with you,
i'm protected.
i'm safe.
i'm free.
and i'm loved.

you're the best that i ever have.

i love staring at your hazel eyes.
i love looking at how silly you look at times. *oops*
i love the way your hair is.
i love the way you held my hands.
i love hearing you talk. i love your scent.
i love everything about you.
i really do.
no one knows how blessed i am.
thanks honey.
