I’m going to consolidate my past events; hence this is going to be one long post.

My little brother has done us proud once again. We attended his school’s Speech day filled with pride.

He, the Commanding Officer for the parade, who took charge of all very well.

He, the Head Councillor, who gave a powerful speech.

He, the student, with the most stressful curriculum combination, who humbly received his award on stage.

He, my little brother.

In the month of April, I met up with quite a few people.

Jessie and Shikin

Truth is, we weren’t closed back in high school. In fact, we hardly converse or hang out at all. Kudos to FB! With a simple message, we found old friends. The day had me realised, even long lost friends aren’t forgotten.

Jeremy and Lucille

Met up with these 2 peeps. Not the very best combination, but at least the day was great. 5 cakes at TCC for 3! YUM! And Jeremy was so sweet! He bought both of us Sunflowers. He gave me a small bouquet as my birthday pressie, and this is the FIRST TIME he is doing so. Gotta buck up my friend. Ha!

The crazy bunch

We indulged ourselves at Indulgz. There are always laughter and lame-y jokes when we hang out. Oh, and juicy gossips tend to pop out randomly. Me likes!

Side note: Louis and I were surprised to find our picture being ‘advertised’ for Indulgz’s couple’s dinner set. There’s one inside and outside of the restaurant.

Jeraldine and Peter

I doubt the men will ever understand how we can make online friends. Honestly, I don’t either. What I do know is, I found a new friend.

Babe, we should go shopping soon! And we shan’t brood over the bridal’s issue again. The men can’t and will never be able to do anything about it. I bet they think we are some whinny wives! Ha!

Louis and I decided to be tourists again. This time, we conquered the Duck Tour.

My favourite girlfriends

Despite the fact that I’m not a huge fan of Hello Kitty, I really appreciate their love and thoughts. The girls bought me an enormous helium kitty balloon, a beautiful bouquet of flower and the yummiest chocolate cake.

I’m pampered.

The night didn’t end with just a simple Japanese dinner. Second part of the night was THE MOST BEST gathering ever!

So we headed to my place, where we occupied my mum’s mah-jong room. We had the usual playing of cards, a few rounds of mah-jong and then the real fun kicked in.

When you’re high and closed to drunk, you’re bound to do the craziest thing ever.

And that was what happened to our men.

They stripped coz they lost to our forfeit! Darn, I should have taken a picture. Though they still had their mini underwear on, but imagine the girls were going bonkers when they came in with only towels and towards the end, just a piece of triangle across their things. Ha!

The girls weren’t right that night. One of the guys actually commented that we lost our ‘image’. Like we totally care! Coz we were all out to have some hell fun, which of coz, we succeeded.

Shite, I hope they don’t bring this up during our weddings.

Yesterday was supposed to be a day for celebration with a friend. However, almost a year ago, a trust was broken.

There were times I wished to turn time back and perhaps amend any things if possible. There were moments I wished not to be too hard headed, yet when I tried to give in or do simple actions, I experienced another disappointment.

Some told me this is worthless. Some told me to forget it.

I think I should just move on.

I had loved this friend.

Edited

I didn’t like the way things turned out to be.

I didn’t want to clarify anything, yet, I feel I’m carrying an extremely heavy heart.

If one truly has the heart to mend things up, one wouldn’t think of excuses to avoid facing the issues.

If one was mad for a simple movie date, then how would that be comparable to a trust I once had from a company, till I introduced this friend to the company? Financial isn’t an issue to be not taken seriously for. Though the friend had told me it had been resolved, but the company’s trust for me had been broken.

If one was upset with not receiving an invitation to attend my special occasion, then why would one still expects it, when the feeling this person has for me is still unresolved?

Question is, would you even turn up?

If one feels that I’m still holding grudges or being pissed, then why would I still bother to even send a birthday card or send my regards when this friend weren’t feeling well?

This is so absurd and silly.

I can’t believe I cried for this friend once again.

‘nuff said.

My husband said something very sweet to me today, ‘I don’t need a best friend, a good friend, anybody or anything. As long as I have you, I can confide my all to you, that’s good enough. You’re my everything, and I truly mean it.’

I’m having a bit of weight issue here and I’m working on it. I still do not know the cause of it, could be my overindulging on dessert, but I do know is, I’m not pregnant.

Thank you to those who showed concern. The next time we meet, please refrain me from desserts and let’s opt for healthy meals. We will try, at least a little bit. I have a wedding to hold really soon.

I REALLY NEED TO STOP SPENDING SO MUCH AND START SAVING.

I love qiuling07 very much. It has followed me through a few years now, with loads of happiness, sadness, bitching, ex-bfs, girlfriends, boyfriends, work, Perth, holidays, food, heartaches, agony, family, husband...

Finally, I have decided, this shall be my very last post. I will put the rest of the entries under protected post for safe keeping and read it once in a while to reminisce good ol’ time.

Who knows, I might set up another blog to outlet my thoughts once again.

Till then, take care.

For the first time, Louis celebrated my birthday. There were 2 days of celebrations. The first one being an outdoor activity, had me ended up with bad falls, bruises and aches. It wasn’t something I would appreciate for a special occasion. At least the day was sealed with a romantic surprise.

We wanted an outdoor activity and thank goodness the weather was well, despite the gloomy condition. So he brought me to East Coast Park, and we rented roller blades.

The last time I rollerbladed was back in Primary school. Go figure out how rusty my skills were. The first fall was already a great impact. I landed directly on my butt and the bruises on my left leg developed almost immediately.

I wanted to give up right that very instant, but hard core Louis gave me that disgusted look and pushed me to carry on. *Heartless*

Before I could blade for another 5 minutes, I fell again. This time, my right palm was badly hurt and I landed on the same injured side of my butt. I’m having a difficult time turning on the tap or write properly.

Nevermind, we had to continue. Our goal was to blade to the food court for dinner. I think we took an hour or so to reach. My third fall was truly unexpected. We were already so close to dinner and somehow, I think I lost balance over some silly excitement and boomed, I fell flat on the exact same injured side of my butt.

You have no idea how sore my left side of my butt is. I can’t sit properly, I can’t even sleep well. I have to face my butt up in the air while I sleep or sit on my right side to support myself. This is insane. Even as I walk, I could feel the pain, along with my injured left leg.

The blade back to the rental was perfectly fine. I’m so proud that I didn’t fall and we made it back safe and sound. Maybe coz Louis was pushing me from the back like a trolley!

This was where the surprise came in.

Louis suggested sitting by the coast before heading home. He left me alone for awhile, coz he wanted to get some water at 7-11 and the camera from the car. I didn’t think he had something up his sleeves, until I realised he was away for almost 10mintues. I also recalled the camera was actually in his pocket and his drink wasn’t empty yet.

It was at that moment, I knew he will come back with something more. And he did.

A lovely bouquet of sunflowers- My favourite, and a beautiful birthday cake which he decorated.

I even recorded his birthday singing for safe keeping *check it out on FB*.

The night ended with loads of laughter, joy, hugs and kisses, eating, fooling around, lame jokes, aches, pain, love and us.

Did I mention I’m on 2 days MC due to rollerblading? The doctor, a very good-looking one, made me go through 3 different x-rays, just to make sure all my bones were in place. Louis commented my body is so vulnerable! I would prefer if he said something like, ‘you have baby-liked skin’!

Anyway, day 2 was a simple, starry-eye dinner at Breeze.

I really want to stay a night at The Scarlet, it’s so beautiful. We are planning to do so, on our first year anniversary. Woot!

I love the ambience at Breeze. Dining at the roof top, under the starry stars is my cup of tea.

The food is luscious, the wine is heaven and if only we have more capacity in our tummy, I’m sure we will order extra!

The service is impressive. Louis ordered the Strawberry and Blueberry tart with a candle on it, to replace the usual birthday cake. After we finished our dessert, the waitress brought a pudding cake for me. It was so sweet of them.

In spite of his tiredness, he still made my day. I love cracking silly jokes with him, love debating with him, love mun-ja-ing with him. In short, I love him.

I had a very blissful birthday.

On a side note:

Louis introduced me to this song. Didn't really like it initially, but find it rather catchy after listening to a few times.

I can’t accept pretentious freaks.

I can’t accept boot’s lickers.

How could there be such humans? I feel sick having these people around me or when they even pretend to be nice to me.

Maybe I have the ability to sense if one is trying hard to please everyone for the sake of doing so. Or maybe it’s just my luck for having them around. Either way, I don’t like them.

Louis says I’m a direct person, at times, a little too direct and would say things even if it hurts. I choose to believe so.

Even with Louis, his family, my family or even closed friends, I say certain things, with much thought, despite it might bring them down a little.

Why bother giving high hopes or deceiving comments when it won’t turn out the way the other party wishes for it to happen?

Perhaps that’s why some would feel I’m defending myself if I speak my mind or chooses to brush my words away coz they sound too upsetting.

I can’t help it, I’m sorry.

And why, why would one go far out to kiss others’ asses, just to be in favour of them?

A faster promotion? A sense of empathy from us? To let the whole world know you’re that wonderful?

Total bullshit.
