60th month and counting

To mark our memorable 60th month together, larling suggest we go for a cable-car ride - something which we've not tried in our 60 months of courtship. We've rode cable car in HK, Korea, but not Singapore (There's 10% discount for Singaporeans! Hehe). The ride might seem boring here, but it can be quite fun actually. Since we bought the round trip ticket, we can alight at Mt Faber and/or Sentosa, before heading back to Vivo. We took a scenic stroll at Mt Faber then walked around RWS. We were dead beat after walking for so long. A superb way to remember this day.

The start of our trip..

Jewel cabins streaming in.

I think they just revamped their cabins, I remembered the cabins weren't that posh and clean back then.

Very excited!!

Bird's eye view of Vivo

The cabin is very spacious, and now they don't pack the max headcount into a cabin.

So we have ourselves to the entire cabin

The journey to Mt Faber took only 15 mins at most?

Not even enough for me to take 10shots/ enjoy the scenery

Cherry blossoms that looked like Japan

Fantastic view from the cafe sitting on Mt Faber.

Stroll at Mt Faber

The uncompleted Reflections by the Bay behind us.

Spotted mini Merlion at Mt Faber!

How many merlions do we have exactly?

Give a peck to the little merlion

Left Mt Faber and headed to Sentosa

Beautiful sunset

Our Merlion needs a good scrub.. it wasn't this black 10 years ago

It was super crowded at RWS!

Snaking queues were spotted at every restaurant.

Quirky statues beside Hotel Michael

RWS really provides a one-stop service - Casino, theme-park, exhibition, theater, beach and hotels all in a place. No wonder MBS is having a tough fight with RWS.

Lollipop tree outside Candylicious store.

Candylicious is a sweets haven for all kids and those who loves candies and cutesy stuff!

The nightview of RWS looks like a magical kingdom from atop

Dinner at Vivo's Shin Kushiya.. Larling insisted on a good dinner to end the day.

Their bbq is fabulous.

Salmon belly and tuna sashimi

Beef udon

Our BBQ platter

The way they bbq really brings out the char-grilled flavour.

We like the mushroom and pork best

Happy 5 years my love!

Nostalgic memorays

I was transferring my photos from my old and frailing lappie to the new com, so that I can look at some of the photos that could be used for the photo montage (growing up section). The photos in my lappie range from 5 yrs ago till last year. As I was enjoying the photos, many lovely memories start to stream into my head.. These are wonderful people that have walked with me and brought joy to my life..

Starting with 15 years of friendship..

My best bud and sista, Cheryl.

We knew each other since primary 4. I used to go over to her house after school to play, eat ice cream, ride bicycle, and do other crazy stuff.

My sec school buds..

13 years of friendship. My bitching and laughing gals..

I love catching-up sessions with them cos they'll make me go hohohoho non-stop!

Shiwei's wedding is coming up! Super excited and honoured to be her bridesmaid!

My JC classmates!

As my class was a double-math and science class, it was dominated by guys with only 7 girls.

These guys are all damn smart..

I've never seen them studying/mugging yet they are still able to produce nice results.

My two years in JC was most stressful ever, but they added in fun and laughter

What I least expected was getting exceptional good grades for A-levels. Even my form tutor was shocked that I could actually pass with such results. She was quite biased towards the brighter students, but can't really blame her cos my results in common tests and prelims were barely encouraging.

I was glad that I managed to prove myself.

That was the proudest result I got in my life.

So with that I was able to get into my desired course in NTU..

First year freshie..

So tanned- and fresh-looking.

In fact I prefer the tanned-me, but the tan-ness fades very quickly unless I maintain a very disclipined once-a-wk regime to sentosa.

In order to get that tan, I went through 2wks of FOC - Business and Hall camp.

Immediately after Hall Camp.. I was red like lobster.. My skin was peeling and awful.

I was silly to not apply sunblock cos now my freckles are all so obvious and ugly.

Looking back, those camps were fun but quite traumatising actually. The games that they carried out were like suppose to 'te-kan' the freshies and it was quite a suffering if you didn't enjoy the games. For me, back then I think it was ok. But now if you ask me whether I'd want to join the camps again, I would have my reservations.

My beloved roomie.. XJ!

Many guys always like to visit our room during our first year when XJ was still unattached.

She literally attracts guys like flowers attracting bees.

In our cosy nice room..

But in Year 3 she moved out and I was all alone in my single room. My neighbours were all the foreign students who kept their doors shut most of the time. It's quite freaky actually.. You wont't know when will rapist or molesters appear at your doorstep.

I nearly went mad facing the four walls all by myself for 5days in a wk, missing my family.

My meals were taken alone, bathed alone, studied alone

But I tell myself I had to give my best for the last leg in Uni..... And soon it will be over.

My best project mates in Uni life..

3S: Samuel Stella Spencer

Any my wonderful bf who's also my best project bud.

Never have to fear presentations and projects with them around.

They have really superb presentation skills.. it's truly my honour to be their project mates

And then..

We graduated!!!

We thank the heavens for everything

haha.. who the hell initiated this shot

Thanks to Samuel's friends who helped to take prweety pics of our graduation!

Fun-loving bunch of guys

End of studies..

Time to bring the money home.

Working is never easy, esp at the start.

I had a good start and experience as an auditor but then

Auditors' life are cheap, always under the knives of clients and managers. But in the world of shit, my lovely Deloittees gave me a bow of rainbow..

I think it was our first trip overseas?

Genting wasn't that cold becos I have the warmth from you guys

Our first year in DT and first Family Day event at the zoo..

I think that's how we derived POKPOKPOKPOKPOK as Angeline's nick!

If I didn't rem wrongly, we introduced our team as Kungfu Panda and we each represented a character from Kungfu Panda casting.. There was the Panda, mantis, tiger and monkey.

Super cute and fun.

LOL!!

Love love

Cheers to our forever youthfulness!!

Happy POKPOK day

It's amazing that my DT lovelies are still surviving well in DT!! Apart from lack of sleep and complaints, what I can see in them is perseverance. No matter how tmd the clients are and how late they usually stay in office till, they are still hanging in there strongly. That's something I really admire about them. Keep on going guys! Look forward to Aug! :)

Happy Birthday POKPOKPOKPOKPOK!

May you and *ahem be an item soon

Pok had cravings for sausages so we had dinner at 313 Somerset's Brotzeit.

Our $88 platter which consists of a humongous pork knuckle, sausages and side dishes

Their sausages are yummay!

My Best Lovelies Forever

:D
It's always so hard to take a proper shot of them.




Then we moved on to dessert.
Pok wanted sticky chewy chocolate so we walked to Ion's Swensens.. but they were closing by the time we reached. So we walked back to Cineleisure, but there were no seats. We could only settle for Xin Wang since not many choices left

They dont seem to like peanut butter on their toasts

I remembered writing these in my farewell email to my colleagues and managers:

It's my pleasure to be able to work with you guys and thanks for being such wonderful teammates, going through the hard times and late nights together. Though it was tough, with unlimted complaints and curses, it is through these hardships that true friendships are forged. I don't see you all as colleagues, but rather as friends whom I can rely on when I'm at the lowest point.

There weren't any back-stabbing and politics going on back then. How I missed you guys..
