I was expecting mail frm GL and have been checking our little rusty mailbox for the last few day. I dashed out of the car today, only to open the squeaky mailbox to see a rather large envelope inside. Recognised GL’s handwritting and happily waved the envelope at KL and kept yelling, “Christopher!! Christopher!!”

Of course, KL had no idea what this loony bin is happy about, and I was too excited to say anything else other than “Christopher!! Christopher!!”

Reach home, dumped everything else on the floor and proceed to rip the brown envelope apart. In it, a touching letter about how much GL misses me (I MISS YOU TOOOOOOOO), a japanese brand mascara (which she swears by) and St Christopher magnet for Fifi.

KL looked at it and said, “Oh, Saint Christopher - Patron of Transportation”. I’m shock! KL even know who St Christopher is. GL, are you surprised too?

Yes, my friends have “such” faith in my driving.

*GL: where’s the blue tac to fix the magnet in Fifi?

Dad, who is having dinner with Aunty Lily, just called. Aunty Lily wants to know the exact day and time I’m having my exams - she wants to go to the temple to pray for me.

That is that much faith my family have in me. *roll eyes*

Today, someone came to tow Coco away and left us $70 in our letterbox.

She’s travelled to Mt Buller many times, Grampians, Sorrento, Great Ocean Road and plenty far places. Now, her fate is here - she’ll probably be scrap metal.

You have served us well and will always be remembered and loved. R.I.P

Gosh, was so bitchy yesterday and I went for penitential service after work. Its my first penitential service here in Melly, but not my first confession done here.

Anyway, I got kind of misled and wasn’t sure where the queue starts or end. Then this irritating guy, stood behind and me, grunted and point where the queue of sinners were. Damn! I was so annoyed. Can’t he tell me nicely?

Anyway, there was already someone inside the booth and it was taking an unusually long time. Everyone was turning their heads to look at the door periodically. Finally she came out and the queue moved.

When my turn came, I entered the booth. Half expecting the booth to be like the sort you watch in the movies, but it was a decent sized room with a narrow table separating the priest and I. Seeing a kneeling stool and a chair, I asked if I should kneel or sit. The priest said it was up to me. Having a large butt, I chose the latter.

I was quite delighted that the priest was an old one. Aahh… GL and me used to only queue up where Fr Arroll was coz he was always so nice and kind. Anyway, my “story” must have gotten rather exciting because the priest was inching forward, pulling his chair often. Then I realised, he is hard of earring. Hahaa….

So, when I thought I was done, the priest raised his hand and had his palm face me - as if he is asking me to stop. Shocked, I actually said, “Huh?” Then he mumbled something…. “say 5 Our Father”. Oh…

Okay, for your info, I didn’t hold up the queue. In fact, I was so surprised I got out of there so quickly.

DTAC, my ex classmate from TP just msn me telling me that he used my name to get appointment with our ex lecturers. Huh?

He said that he called one of our ex lecturer to make an appointment to see him coz he wants to discuss one of his products to them. Apparently, no matter how much DTAC tried to describe who he is, he have no clue. Then he told him that he was in the same class as me (used my name), and instantly, a lightbulb was lit. And, he agreed to meet up with him.

When he was in TP, he called up 2 more ex-lecturers and they too refused to see him. He tried my name again and they came down to see him. WOAH! Didn’t know I was so famous/popular!

The fact that I was not a good student in school makes me wonder how these people remember me after more than a decade. Either my name is unique or I am known as the girl that tried to kill herself because she failed her exams. Or simply, I am the vainpot in school - aka ’school flower’ .

To that last statement: HAHAHAAHAHAAAAA!!!!

Whatever it is… I think its pretty cool.

On Monday, I saw a line of people sitting outside one of the meeting rooms sucking on a green lolly. Then I realised, they are there for the free flu vaccination my company was providing.

I had a flu vaccination courtesy of my company today (simply because I’m ‘yeow gui’ - free one leh). I kind out missed the dateline to register for it but I called anyway and was put on the waiting list. The vaccination will only take place on Monday and Wednesday. Seeing that I managed to “escape” on Monday, my guard was down today because I simply forgot about it. The phone call came at 10.14am informing me that I have been booked in for the 11.11am vaccination. *DARN!

Since that telephone call, I became rather nervous. Strangely, I have never been sooo afraid of the needle. I had some sort of injection every year (health check, few surgery, etc). I think I was more worried about falling sick after the flu vaccination.

I went in, was told that the vaccination will only take effect after 2 weeks. Which means I will be slowly build up the immunity within these 2 weeks. The “missy” told me that the vaccination is against Malaysia flu, Canadian flu and etc … and that it will last from 6 to 12 months.

“Missy” asked all the relevant medical history and before she took out the needle, she asked if I was the type that faint easily. Haha.. I told the “missy”, no but I rather not see the needle. Yes, I’m chicken-shit.

No, I didn’t cry or scream. After that, she gave me this weird looking green lolly and asked me to suck on it and sit at the waiting area for 15mins. Apparently, the lolly and the resting after the shot was to counter the shock. Hahaa. Since my office is so near, I went back and continued working.

Co, my new friend, and I decided that we deserve something to reward ourselves for the injection. Seeing that we have our ‘poor-thing’ sandwich everyday for lunch, we decided to go somewhere nice for lunch. So off to a little japanese place to have nice hot soupy udon in this cold 10 degrees autumn day.

Co, who had the shot before me, emailed me at 3pm, telling me that she feels quite oozy. At that time, I realised I was feeling quesy and nauseous too. Too bad, the nurses are already gone for the day, else I could pop in and ask if it’s the side effect of the vaccination or just our lunch.

*Yes, the lolly looks a bit weird.

I woke up this morning to have KL tell me that I elbowed his nose last night and that his nose bled. Hehee… ooopsie!

Well, serve him right. He have been making me the butt of all jokes coz we have a guest staying with us. Honestly, I don’t mind being the clown coz our guest is our long time friend’s baby sister. But, he was grouchy the whole of yesterday and gave me no loving at all.

We went to Gippsland - Venus Bay. It was gorgeous on Saturday but we didn’t swim or tan. Instead, we went exploring and decided to drive home to save money instead. So that night, we had gourmet pizza and went home to sleep. Sunday morning, we went for a great brekkie and headed back there again.

The sun was hot but we had SPF50. KL bought a boogie board and tried body boarding. While, I laid in the sand with my sunnies and magazine. KL came running to the shore. Breathless he muttered these words - “I lost my wedding band.”

He then rushed back to the sea diving in and out. Needle in a haystack. We’ve spoken about this before - should anyone of us loses our wedding band, we would just replace it. Because it’s material and it doesn’t represent our love. Our lives and love for each other more important. So I told him, we’ll just get a replacement the next day and carry on.

Since we lost his wedding band in Venus Bay, do you think that Venus don’t like married man in her waters? Okay, I’m full of crap!

Its the long weekend. Monday is Labour Day in KoalaLand. For what it’s worth, I’m already employed and i truly deserve this break. Hahaa…

Anyway, KL and me are going away for the weekend. We don’t know where. Maybe Gippsland area. Not sure. We’re going to drive down the coastal area and try to look for accommodation for a night or two. Since we didn’t make any reservations, it might be hard to get any, so we don’t plan to drive far coz in any case, we’ll be able to make it back to sleep.

Again, I think I over packed for 2 nights trip which includes 2 sets of bikinis. Hahaa… Women!

Yesterday, at work, I couldn’t stop sneezing. My nose was drippy - if I were to look down onto my toes, watery mucus would fall onto my shoes.

By lunch time, I was feeling oozy and desperately needed medication and just to lie down. I think I’m probably allergic to my colleague’s perfume or just my immune system a bit down coz period coming. Either way, I felt shit. If I was still working in my previous company, I would just tell my boss that I’m going home to rest. But it was only my 3rd week at this stupid corporate place where everything and everyone has to be accounted for. But staying in the office is so unproductive and I feel sorry for my colleague who shares her office with me.

Anyway, I don’t know how I made it home, showered and ate dinner. I took medication and fell asleep by 8pm only to wake up this morning about 7.30am. Yesh, 11 hours of sleep. Well done! For your information, my record was 16hours of sleep when I was younger.

KL was great. He cooked, washed and even made my lunch for me today. I’m glad he is taking responsibility when I’m an invalid yesterday. I’m much better today already, but I wish I was online for GL last night coz it seemed like she had a tough day at home last night. It’s been hard for her with all the sudden changes in her life happening so quickly. But we all know it’s for the good. I’m here for you babe.

Today, I dreamt I work up at 10am. Picked up the telephone to call my manager. Manager said that they were worried and wondered where I was. I obviously lied saying that I had to send my mum to the hospital, blah blah… and then…. The alarm clock rang. I yelled, “FUCK!” Shit! Cat out of the bag!

Today, is the first time I reach office exactly at 8.45am, took exactly 1hour for lunch and left office at exactly 5.15pm. Usually I reach office earlier, take 1/2 hour lunch and leave after 5.30pm.

Today, CT asked me out for lunch. No one asked me out for lunch since working. Coz I packed lunch and also they tapao in sandwich. BORING!!!

Today, while working, I started worrying that I might not make much friends because there is only the 3 of us in my department. The girls outside seemed to be already in their clique. Plus, I wearing my wedding band - most people would assume I’m boring and have to rush home to be with family/husband. *Pui!

Today, KL dropped the frying pan’s glass lid on the floor. The broken glasses cut my left leg, I started bleeding as if I shaved and nicked myself. Blood dripping on the floor because one of the cut was exactly at my vein (can see the blue vein). It was damn drama. Incidentally, I have the thinnest skin every on the planet of the earth. KL and my family can vouch for me. Anyway, I realised KL reacts very badly in situation like this. He tends to panic. Then again, I am accident prone and so I’m experience in situation like this so I was ordering him around with instuctions. Oh, after sweeping numerous times, vacuum numerous times and even mopping, I stepped on a triangle shaped glass bit. Instinctively, I tried to remove the glass from the bottom of my sole, but the sharp end pierced into my index finger. FUCK! I have 4 plaster on my leg, and 1 on my finger.

Just counted: 10 cuts/nicks on my left leg, 2 on my right leg and 1 on my left index finger.

I woke up at about 7am this morning. Thats coz I usually wake up about 10am in Koala Land. I called GL and BS to meet for brekkie. The plan was to wave goodbye to NL when she leaves for work in the morning. Hehee… BS was going to feign a MC to spend the day with me. GL was unemployed. I have the greatest friends.

Since BS was still at the clinic with his fake flu and GL needed time to get ready to get out, I wasted time lingering around at home and then mum followed me to the market. We saw that the queue at the gambling shop was really short, I took out $10 (Aunty Lily’s CNY angbao) to try my luck with the $10million draw - maybe I could buy our own home in Koala Land. So when I arrived for brekkie, GL and BS was already there. *Shites!

I ordered my favourite morning breakfast noodles with at least 5 items. Haha… Naturally, I couldn’t finish my food, so I gave my taiwan sausage and luncheon meat to BS, who was eating vegetarian beehoon. Hahaa.. Oh, during brekkie, mum came to join us (*roll eyes*).

After brekkie, we went back to BS’s place. I can’t remember why we needed to go there. The moment we entered, BS kept repeating, “Ignore Bailey…Ignore Bailey… Ignore bailey”, like a broken record. But GL and I still went to his pen and went all hysterical. We were suddenly talking in puppy language, I think I heard BS grumbling that he wanted to train the dog, but we just kind of ruin it. Hahaa… I realised I somehow developed an allergy sore on my upper lip and stuffy nose. I had to get to the pharamacy - I’m allergic to home. Last time also same thing.

So after a long time lazing at BS’s place, we decided to head to Suntec. No time already because GL needed to go to school to see the kids - results out today. I don’t understand why when it was nice and sunny, it didn’t occur to us to get out. It was raining cats and dogs when we went out.

We braved the pouring rain and made it to the bus stop only to have the bus “nearly” splash water at us. We board the bus and I took out tissue paper to clean my feet. GL went, “Ewww… we’re in public!” I ignored her coz we were sitting at the back in a rather empty bus on a Friday weekday afternoon. Then she stick her shoeless feet towards me and said, “Nar! Help me clean.” What the fuck? We were laughing like a pack of hyenas when BS wiped his feet on GL’s pants. Ewww!!! Disgusting!!! Wah lau! Below is a picture of BS’s fat and practically hairless leg.

We got to Suntec, I got a little disorientated because it was lunch hour and there was a lot of people everywhere. I felt giddy and so we sat at Aunt Pretzels and ate ourselves silly while waiting for the pharmacist to come back so I can get my allergy medication. BS managed to buy a few business shirts, GL got herself a new pair of shoes and I got nothing. I wonder who was on a shopping mission. Kanasai!

As GL had to go off to the school, BS and me headed for Parkway Parade. That’s home based for us. Wow! Parkway has changed so much - so High Crass now! Anyway, I managed to buy a lot more stuff at Parkway and hang out with BS waiting for NL to finish work and GL to come back to meet us for dinner. I’m glad I managed to spend some decent quality time with my other favourite man of my life. We had Kaya Roti and Teh Peng, talked about how I should stop worrying about dad and that I should just put my time and energy on my chosen path in Koala Land instead of looking back.

That night, we had Sushi at Parkway - just like old times. Strangely, we didn’t eat as much as we did. I wonder if it’s because we are getting older or BS and me haven’t had our Kaya Roti digested yet.

Its cool now that BS and NL is living so near my place, we could share a cab back. I went back, called MT to ask her out although I was super exhausted. Luckily for me, her brother took the car and so we chatted on the fone for over 2hours - she fell asleep before me. Wah Lau. Then I telephone Aunty Anna and spoke to her on the fone for nearly 2hours. She spoke most of the time actually. I think I kind of fell asleep somehow.

Wednesday was Lent. My work officially ends at 5.15pm and mass is 5.30pm - about 4 blocks down. At 5.25pm, I was still in my manager’s office. *sigh. Luckily, I managed to run to church just in time for ashes on my forehead.

After consuming KFC on Monday, juicy steak on Tuesday, we began our “No Meat” diet for Lent. Besides eating Tuna sandwich for lunch everyday, I’ll STILL be eating Tuna sandwich for Lent. So far, dinners haven’t been a problem.

But, today, I had an official Business Luncheon at a fancy resturant. The meal is about $120 per head. They served chicken and didn’t ask for any vegetarian options. I didn’t wanna make it a big deal, so I ate it. GL said that if you go and tell everyone that you are not eating meat for Lent, then it defeats the purpose. I think I will have to do an extra day to repay.

*sigh…

Btw, today is Uncle Kenny and Aunty Anna’s wedding anniversary. I text them and Uncle Kenny replied, “Thanks. Busy now. Will let you know about our activities tonight.” Ewww… I really rather not know.

On the 6th Feb (Monday), I received a long awaited phone call from my manager telling me that I am officially offered the job. I told him that I wanna go back for a week, see my family and settle some business before I begin my employment. After calling KL and daddy telling them the good news, I called Uncle Law next to book my airtickets back. I was due to fly on the 9th Feb (Thurs) and back here on the 18th Feb (Sat) to start my work on the 20th Feb (Mon). Everything was in a rush and I kept my return a secret. Of coz, daddy, BS (&NL) and GL knew.

After a whole crap about helping a friend bring back her luggage back, I finally made it to the airport. It felt weird. I’m travelling alone back but yet I know my absence will be short. Maybe I was already “programmed” to be sad and teary at the airport if I’m travelling alone. KL seems rather amused but I reckon he was looking forward to some alone time.

I was sat next to an old couple during the flight and only after the meal that I went to the loo, I realised that the flight was rather empty. I asked the stewardess if I could change my seat to the empty window seat. I was contented and happy. You can see how empty the flight was. I stretched my legs on the empty 3 seater and fell asleep.

I landed in that familiar airport with 3 person waving at me - my parents and GL. I liked it this way - quiet and intimate without all that drama. Upon reaching home and changing into my shorts (the heat was killing me), GL and I went to the market to meet BS and NL.

Ahhh, my first meal was ‘horfun’. Yums but not the best I had. BS and NL took a long time to meet us because they brought along bailey. I found it rather “hairstand” when they kept referring to their puppy as their son?!?!

I went back to my old room and laid alone in the cold airconditioning wondering if KL misses me.

I think I GL quarrelled with me today. Well, not quarrel if I didn’t scream back at her. I know she reads this blog. Still, I want to say my worth. She knows better than to judge me for what I wrote in my space.

Okay, not quarrel, but snapped at me. It all started with me arriving early at brekkie alone and after ’shooing’ away many ‘ah peks’ who wanted to sit with me. For what it’s worth, I already called BS while walking to the location. So, I itchy finger when to text BS - “Hurry Up”. And I backside itchy, forwarded to GL too.

Moments later, GL called back and yelled, “Oei. You always late and how dare you hurry me? I don’t like it. blah blah…” SHIT! Its been a long time since she got angry with me. People always get angry with me. I must be no social skills. After letting her yell over the fone, I said, “Okay, sorry… Chill it babe.” Which I thought was another bad approach. Hahaa.. I need to brush up on my social communication skills or something.

Anyway, when she arrived, she started snapping at me again. I felt embarress coz we were obviously in public and she had that great big eyes on me. Waving her fingers and yelling almost. I kept calm coz I’m sure I was in the wrong too. Luckly, BS changed topic and all is forgotten.

Until she went at it the 3rd time. In front of BS and NL. About how I was “always” late and how everyone always wait for me. Huh? Seriously, we are talking about me here? I agree, the last time we met for brekkie, I was late. I’m very rarely late. This time, the sun was in my eyes and irritating the hell out of me. Her serious teacher face, tone of her voice and waving of the fingers at me made me mad. I came close to yelling back, but didnt. I didn’t wanna be confrontational. I left her yelling at me as if I was some kid who didn’t pass up her homework. Honestly, I am super embarressed and the finger waving was uber rude. Especially to a dear friend. Although, she probably learnt her finger waving from me (did that to the loser boss), I don’t really think it’s neccessary to treat me like her students.

In my defence, I feel bad that my best friends have to revolve their life around me whenever I’m in town. I appreciate their time and attention. But, I was only late that one time and normally, I would be good to inform the person if I am late.

I blame it on my itchy backside and maybe my wrong choice of words. GL has always been sensitive with choice of words. She hates it when people call her and asked, “Where are you?” or “What you doing?”. We all know that she takes her privacy very seriously. Stupid insensitive best friend I am to text her “Hurry Up”, when I could have text, “I’m here already. Will wait for you.” Maybe then, I wouldn’t get myself in trouble. Yes, it felt like I was a kid and was in some serious trouble to be lectured in public like that.

Nevertheless, I’m a pretty tolerant person. Especially when it comes to friends and family. KL thinks I might be a pushover but if you are a good friend of mine, you’ll know that I’m not usually confrontational. Also, I seldom bear grudges and tend to forget why I/others are angry in the first place.

GL might have a tough morning (her mum nagging at her) and it was absolute bad timing and all others on my end. Then again, maybe it gets like that when we spend TOO much time with each other. I still can ’stand’ her coz she’s like that. Even BS would say, “Aiyah, she’s like that lor!” So, I’m good. I’m not angry or upset with her - we still laughed and joked over brekkie with BS and NL and we walked to the bus stop together. Bad way to say - “I’m used to it.” But I’m to blame too. Still I don’t think deserved the finger waving and the stern teacher-scolding-the-kid lecture. As cliche as it sounds, I think our friendship is strong and even if we did indeed fight, it wouldn’t last too long.

To GL,
I’m sorry for the text this morning. I trust that I’m not self-centred or at least, I try not to be. Please don’t label me as someone who is always late because, I’m pretty sure I am not and hate to hear that I am.

All is good between you and me. I’m sad to be leaving here again and I regretted not having enough time to hang with you. Although I think we did spend quite a bit of quality time together and anything more, you’ll be sick of me again.

Let’s not talk about this again. No one is right or wrong. I know I can be fustrating to be with sometimes, I get that all the time. Between you and me, we have enough clothes to last till christmas at least. I promise to come back shopping more often which means I can only look and no-buy when I’m in KoalaLand. Till we see each other again for shopping. I’ll miss you.

Love,
Your other French & Sauder half and shopping buddy, HL.

p/s: will get that shorts and ship back to you.

DTAC declared today that I’m already belong to KoalaLand, which is so unfair coz I simply said I was getting fustrated here already and glad to be returning back to KoalaLand.

In my defence, I don’t walk as if I have something up my arse and/or with my chin in the air.

I still address KL’s mother - “auntie”. It’s hard to change, maybe I refused to. I don’t know. It’s also natural after over 10 years of calling “auntie”, it’s hard to adjust.

In my defence, KL calls my parents, “uncle” and “auntie”.
*roll eyes *

Scared fall sick coz starting work on monday - Lost voice yesterday due to too much talking.

Screen saver mode by 9pm - Still 3hrs ahead.

Glad to be going back soon - Can’t stand mum. Blood boiling. Better relationship being away.

Miss KL like mad - hardly talk since I came here. I want that big ape to hug me to sleep. Can’t sleep well at night.

Worried might be allergic to dogs - Mumbles and Bailey makes me itch and sneeze. How to get our own?

I’m getting fatter. Arrived Fat - nothing to do with eating too much.

Still havn’t eaten Hollywood Duck Rice, Katong SC Chicken Rice, Market’s Fish Head Noodles.

Guilty that I might have overspent - In my defence, I needed those suits coz it fits better and cheaper. Plus everything else I bought was a good deal. GL & Cousin S can vouch for that.

Worried that K’s mum wants to see me - Sian. No time. Nothing to talk about.

Lots of pictures to load when get home.

Darling, I’m coming back soon. Miss you like crazy.

I’m very proud of myself. I’ve only been back for 1 week and I managed to spend so much time with people I love and care. I wrote a list of people that I wanna meet and I stuck almost everyone off my list.

GL - spent the whole of yesterday shopping with her only. It was the most fun. I miss our frequent shopping trips. I’m glad I get to spent quality time with her although it was exhausting (the shopping, not her).

BS & NL - had brekkie with BS and then he tour-guided me around our neighbourhood. We got bored and went Seng Siong. Did a bit of grocery shopping. Realised he is so Housewifey!! He knows the names and the prices of the fishes and vegetables!?!? Wah Lau!

DW - show and tell over tea at Bugis. Oh, we watched fireworks too. Hehee… And got outselves chased out of the cafe coz they were closing. Hahaa…

DTAC- shamelessly made DTAC buy me lunch, then dragged him to Bras Basah to help choose for me a chinese dictionary. Embarrassed the hell out of him coz it was weird for him to be out lunching with a “married woman”. Hahaa…

AK (KL’s fren) - had supper with him and advised him to go for a marriage preparation course for his upcoming marriage. He also told me about his future plans and his financial burden. *sigh… nice chap.

Aunty Lily - went to her house and raided her cupboard. Ate some yummy stew pork thingy. Had a nice chat with her and was updated with Cousin SS’s career. Went home with a Gucci and Chanel Bag. =)

Cousin CC - rekindled our relationship after a long pause of absence. Found that she is all grown up and probably too matured for her own good. So glad that I had a chance to know her better. I’m happy to know she is doing well despite her/our disfunctional family. Proud of her. Really.

Cousin S - had lunch and tried to encourage her to take up a baking/pastry class. Told her that she is talented and can do so much more. Realised that she’s happy with her life at the moment. Felt it’s such a waste, but at least I give her ideas and tried to motivate her. I’m relieved to have told her how I feel.

Aunty Anna - tomorrow

Oh! And I did all that (quality time) plus did a lot of shopping too.
I bought, 5 suits, 4 pairs of shoes, 5 business shirts, 3 Cardigan, 3 winter jackets, 4 nonsense casual skirts, 2 bras, 2 belts, 1 necklace, 1 bag, 1 chinese dictionary, some toiletries, some foodstuff, and even a few KL’s shirts. Wow!

On Valentine’s Day today…

I had lunch with DTAC (guy friend from poly). I called him on Sunday and said, “Oei! I know you have no date for lunch on Valentine’s Day this tuesday, wanna buy me lunch?”. DTAC replied that he had over 10 dates waiting for his reply but he will have lunch with me since I came all the way back to SunnyLand and wants to meet him. Heh! I responsed, “Oei! Remember a dozen red roses, chocolates and huge teddy bear. Wait for me at the fountain at noon.”

We had lunch together with a lot of other goondu couples with flowers. Hahaa… There was this free picture taking thingy and I dragged DTAC to take a couple picture. DTAC was so shy and kept repeating to the girl, “She’s married!! I’m not her husband!” Hahaa… he was so embarressed. I kept telling the girl, “I’m his mistress!”

Then everywhere we went, there was school kids selling roses and we were approached coz I wasn’t hold any flowers. Everytime, DTAC would shake his head and wave his hand frentically and repeated, “She’s married!! I’m not her husband!” Hahaa…

It was nice to meet up an old friend. Of course, free meals are always good. DTAC has always been a good friend and we always kept in touch with each other via MSN. He was there for me at my lowest point and I am glad to be there for him when he had difficulties with his family and job. Since he has always been a good shopping companion too, he helped me pick out a corporate suit and a Chinese dictionary.

Although KL and I don’t celebrate this overly commercialised day, I still love being pampered and showered with gifts. Most of my shopping here are more or less done. I just want to go home to be with KL as soon as possible. I do really miss him. Sitting in front of my old computer in my old room, makes me think about those 4 years we were apart. It still feels very surreal, as if I didn’t leave SunnyLand. But when I look at my left hand and touch my wedding band, I realised, we finally made it - we got married.

Can’t wait to get back in KL’s arms.
