Sometimes I wonder why I have such a bad temper.
Who did I inherit it from? My dad probably, cos he frequently used to scold vulgarities at people since we were young. He also believes in caning rather than just verbal lashings.
It's not that I scold vulgarities or what, but I have a certain flaw of not knowing and appreciating what I have.
Take for example, I flared up yesterday when I realised he bought $90 over dollars of 4D the past month. I'm rather anti-gambling, so that angered me quite a bit. Now that I think back, I was angry all the way from Kallang station to Tampines. :x
Sometimes I'm feeling that we can't communicate well. Is it the age gap? Why are we having different frequency? Is this going to continue till marriage?
If that's the case, I'm quite sure my marriage would fall apart. Sighs.
Girls are a tad petty, I don't deny. & what's worse, is that I have my 'lady's temper', or in chinese, 'xiao jie pi qi'. I should really try to correct that.
Maybe one day he won't stand for it. LOL.

I know it hurts.
I know you must have been very tactful when you were blogging the latest entry. Probably for fear of repercussions, or for hurting me more. I don't know which.
I'm not someone who likes blogging about problems, because I know this blog has a certain number of readers and I don't like to bring unnecessary attention.
However, after reading your post, i think it's time i should say something.
I've perhaps told him and not to you directly. I'm not sure if as your boyfriend, is he choosing to support you blindly, not explaining to you the severity of the issue.
Even as one of his bestie, I cannot tolerate the fact how you guys can ignore everyone else and only think about yourselves.
I've always been opened to the idea of asking you guys along whenever I'm out. Sometimes even if it's a date, sometimes when I wanted to meet up & have a little chit-chat. I'd try to be available whenever you guys need me.
When he has an issue with you, I was by his side, wiping his tears.
When you had an issue with him, I'd listen and try to provide some constructive comments to help your relationship.
I'm not denying that you guys have helped me alot this past one year.
You've helped me so much that it's beyond words that I can just simply say. You've been there listening, though not constantly, but still, you guys were there, perhaps hiding in corners which I could not see.
I could not understand nor fathom why was I not informed about the party's timing. Waiting like a fool is one thing (& a small thing), but calling names was pushing limits.
When I said that you guys were too much, you should have explained.
Explain why were you so late. Explain why were you still not there by 6, the time I left. Why you said you were heading out at 2plus but never did.
Explain why he could say 'CB, never wait for us.' I attended the party as one of his close friend and also as a family friend. I bought probably the most expensive gift I've ever bought a 11-year-old.
When I expected answers and explanations, I got nothing. Or rather, I got a blog post saying how 'you've put in so much into this friendship and it feels like biting the hand that feeds you'. You DO NOT know me enough to be saying that. You said that you've put in 100% into this friendship, but so very often, you just ran away.
Yes, because running away is what you liked to do.
I said as a mature adult, you should be responsible for your actions instead of playing the blame-game.
& what did you say?
'I act like the mother of righteous when all I am is a pain in the ass.'
It pains me more, knowing that this form of communication is equivilant to behind-my-back, which I would have much rather preferred you telling me I'm a pain in the ass to my face. I would have liked to talk it out, thrash things out if necessary. But the blog post was too hurtful for me to continue any form of interaction.
You probably did not know, but at Alan's wedding, I was in pain. I've never looked at you in the eye. It feels so uncomfortable, like we were strangers, but yet at the same time, I cannot bring myself to forgive you, especially not forget.
I must also admit I am angry with him because he could have done more to restore our friendship. But he didn't. I should have known. He loves you so much that he would be blind to many things. Even the feelings of someone he should also try to protect.
To you, you feel that you've waited so long so you chose to shut your doors to this friendship. To me, this time is not enough to resolve the hurt. My doors did not even manage to flutter open.

No 'gahmen' in the office!
My boss is on MC today, and all the consultants are away in Boston for their training. The office has probably 10 people remaining today, and boy, I'm glad for the peace and quiet which we rarely get.
I'm making plans to finally continue my studies, and right now, it's a 80% towards SIM's Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology's Bachelors in Business Marketing.
I've considered other schools, or other courses even. But I fervently believe due to my outspoken & 'siao-lang' character, I will do well in the marketing industry.
If all goes well, I'd be starting in January 2012, and might be in it for a 2-3 year course. It's gonna be a difficult period, studying part-time and working full-time. Thankfully, I'm glad the people around me are so supportive; my mom, baby, my besties & colleagues. <3
On a side note, the Tampines Build-to-Order project was kinda unsuccessful (thank god)! We applied for the 4-room BTO and there were 604 units. Our ballot queue number is 1118. :x I'm betting we won't get it, since it's such hot property.
My main concern and focus now is on progressing in my career and studies. Others, we can talk about it later.

Dream wedding gown(s)
Have you guys ever wondered what type of wedding gowns you would love to wear on your most special day? (:
Well, personally I love looking at wedding gowns, not because I want to get married or whatsoever, but the worksmanship behind each and every piece is unique and aimed to bring out the best of the bride.
Here are some of the gowns I like, from 'Sillouette the Atelier'.
I like gowns with HUGEEEEEE trains as it's only once in a lifetime we can wear till so dramatic! So why not? :p
I really like bustier designs too. It makes the bust look good. Especially heart-shaped ones.
Evening gowns in striking colours...
A huge fan of gorgeous backs too! :))
Wheeeee!! Happy day!

26th at Ritz!
. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DEAREST!
So as mentioned, I brought him to Ritz 2 days ago for a dinner celebration.
It was Ladies' Night, so there was this promotion for 1-for-1, which is like $80 split 2 ways. (: Well, my date wasn't a lady, so we paid the price for 2.
However, there's some discount for certain cards like UOB/DBS.
The long line of ladies before us:
They even have live classical music playing in the lobby. Lovin' the fresh flower displays too. (:
& yes!! The present is a trip to Hong Kong! For the both of us of course! We're heading there in October, for 5-days, 1 day in Macau.
There's such a wide array of foods available, ranging from breads, cheeses, fruits, dessert, sushi & sashimi (what international buffet is it if they do not have sashimi? ;) , oysters on the half shell, iced prawns, Asian & continental dishes as well.
Unfortuntately the photos are rather blur. It's definitely not from my camera, as it has good resolutions and all. It's probably due to some editing at Photoscape or blogger. :(
The night did not end well too, as we had an arguement over the paying for the meal. In short, I do not like people telling me one thing & doing another.
& if you must know, the meal cost us $128.00, and I didn't pay a cent.
Sighs.

26th birthday!
IT'S NASH'S BIRTHDAY TODAY!!
8th June, the day he turns 26. (:
Yup, he's 5 years older than me.
Well, to a certain extent, I'm glad my boyf's older. Afterall, I look more mature & think more maturely for my age.
So anyway, I'm bringing him to Ritz for buffet dinner tonight! Was so undecided between a couple of restaurants, like MELT @ Mandarin Oriental which I went with my mom the other time, or Equinox & the third option was of course, Ritz.
I decided on Ritz & made reservations for 2. Then came the day I worked at Hugo Boss & I spoke with his younger brother, who told me Nash hardly celebrates at home.
So I changed my reservations for the Paramount Restaurant by Tung Lok so I could bring along his parents & bro and still be within budget.
THEN CAME CHANGE OF PLANS AGAIN. His parents had work and were unable to make it in time. Quite sad, as I was looking forward to having a good Cantonese dinner with his family.
Nonetheless, hope he has a great time tonight! I've yet to spill the beans on his birthday gift! :p
(P.S: I'm saving my tummy for all the sashimi, freshly-shucked oysters & dessert!)
