Valentine's day

Dear Gummi bear

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BEAR!

the surprise birthday party for the bear went well. i won't say that it went smoothly because i nearly ripped most of may hair out from the stress.

this part of my life i will call "cari hal". stress myself by planning and plotting a surprise birthday for the past one month when i could have just planned a simple dinner. i-so-the-smart.

in the end. (and only the end - not before) everything sorta fell into place. i had a happy bear on my hands. but a very tired- stressed out me.

i will put the pictures up soon. they're just so many, i'm just taking my time sorting them out.
work is not that exciting but it's still quiet tiring.

moving places..

babyBEAR : baby... it's me we got it..

me: got what? what are you talking about?

babyBEAR: we got your dream apartment

i swear if he were here i would give him a HUGE hug..
but i'm stuck at work
so i jumped around a bit and had a HUGE grin plastered to my face

i think the doc is scared that he has a crazy receptionist on his hands
i don't care.. i'm happy

Finally at the stairway of adulthood

contrary to popular belief that i would spend my 21st drinking till the sun don't shine and my liver cries alcohol, i actually spent it very quietly

most of the day was dedicated to house-hunting.. because the second option of living in melb uni's shiny relatively new tram stop just doesn't seem as tempting somehow..
maybe the lack of walls and amenities has something to do with it

a small note to the aussie government:
good for you.. your currency has gone up
so what about the students like me??
you know the rent has increased so much it's getting difficult to look for a decent place without wondering how i'm going to pay for the place without resorting to some dire means like say.. robbing the bank or prostitution..
i'm really that desperate..


and also getting dragged by Beavers to Box Hill to some rock-climbing equipment sale there..
although i haven't been to that place in ages i amazed myself by still being able to recognize the roads : pat on the back for me..

he paid me back in milk tea, takoyakis and my fav egg tarts..
all is good..

reason for the egg tarts : i like this specific portugese ones from this specific shop in box hill and only there..
the prob is the portugese ones always run out so fast
so i'm left with the cakey-based ones..
just have to deal with it i suppose.. better than nothing..


also during the house hunting i found a few great things:

1: beard papa opened in melbourne
it's at the corner of elizabeth and flinders st
i really like their passionfruit cream puff
i'm going back to try their chocolate souffle soon


2: i rediscovered my fav jap restaurant
they relocated a few doors away from their old place.. i was actually prancing in front of the shop when i found it coz i can't stress how much i love the food and how sad i was when they moved

seeing how excited i was the yucky-bear made reservations there for dinner..
( for him i think it's coz we had our first date there so he's like yay too)

i have to say, the dinner was soo good!!
i really love the food there.. and it's not too pricey too
we had ebi tempura (they make it in a special batter so it's different), okonomiyaki, sushi + sashimi moriawase, jap meatballs and chan-chan yaki ( a salmon specialty there )
accompanied with umeshu ( cold plum sake - which is super yummy) and this special jap tea
and for dessert: green tea and sesame ice cream
omg so full!! but everything is so yum!! i'm really not exaggerating about this place
i do think it's that fantastic


thank you smelly-yucky for the dinner. you so champion ok..

3: new pair of white flats
i wonder how long it's going to take me to wear out this pair... white and me just don't always go hand in hand..
i was tempted to buy 2 pairs but he stopped me saying think about the purpose.. you use flats more than heels anyway..
the puppy-wide-doe-eyed look doesn't work on him
i'm still dreaming about the second pair.. very cute open-toe black patent-leather
only 60.. but i can't really throw the iwannasave$plan out the window

when i have enough$ i suppose
men just don't understand a women's need for shoes..
i only have 10 paris ok!! so don't blow the situation out of proportion

also i got a phone call from home! yay!!
i think it's been at least 2 months now.. that i've talked to family
we sms a lot but rarely talk on the phone..
it's good just to hear family again it perks my spirits up and it's just fun
plus we talk for hours after so long and it's just really great


and..
loads of love to all those who gave me birthday wishes and presents!!
and especially to those who attended my birthday dinner at shoya + golden monkey 2 weeks ago, thanks one more time!!

and also a special one to the housemates for the spanish dinner at robin burns last night
again, thank you so much guys!!! i really appreciated and loved all of it!!


NotSoLittleJin: good luck for your SPM on monday

i think this is the most i've blogged about for a long time..
i'm a bit bored bear went out for a boys night.. i suppose i should just go back and hit the books..
i'll try to get my hands on some pics from the birthday dinner at shoya + golden monkey the other day and tonight to post up soon..

THANK YOU!


i just needed to thank everyone for all your smses, good luck wishes and hugs*
you guys really cheered me up a little from all the bad things that have been happening..
so far things are running smoothly again i can only hope that they last this way for a while
the essays have extensions so i'm not too worried yet

now, i just need a new camera..
sigh* so sorry that the blog looks boring without new pics


but thanks everyone once again!
i really appreciate it!


xx


REWIND TIME


and i still wouldn't change a thing
after all this time
you still know how to make me smile
thank you
for this past one year
i <3 you!
my no.1 bear

In my head, this pretty much sums you up..

HOW DID THIS HAPPEN??

all i wanted was for MotoRzrV3 to get a brother/ sister.. and the poor thing got both..

the miscommunication:

i told MrYap i needed a phone.. ok i'll ask Bear to bring it over for you

and he kindly, very generously bought me the black one..

rare occasion.. i've not asked my parents for a phone for the past 4-5 years now..

he bought me one that i liked.. thank you!!

i've been hinting to Bear since last years birthday i needed a phone.. and he FINALLY got the hint.. and he bought me the pink one..

coz it was the one that i told him i liked since last years birthday..

the other option i wanted was the MotoRzr2V8

which is not out in KL yet..

that even MrYap couldn't obtain for me..

so now.. which one do i use??

i like both!! haha.. so greedy..

xx

the week has been
relatively the same..

i suppose because i've fallen in a routine i don't feel like blogging..

the only thing that happened: Bear came back on monday..

hugs and cuddles to go around for everyone in melbourne now..

wait.. he doesn't do that.

he scared Chew, ganged up with SlutMonkeyIan in burning me..

sulks and pouts when he's stressed..

he's a mean Bear. but cuddly on the inside.. right??

ps: From where you want to be

ok back in humid ass malaysia for a week now.. rarely been online because the internet connection is as usual.. terrible and yes i have been busy. one of my other halves BestieJes just left for penang.. so i've finally got some free time for nothing!

anyway most of you would have gotten my phone no. already i hope.. i did send everyone a sms.. hopefully not forgetting anyone..

been out and about shopping a little and the count so far ~ 4 dresses, 1 top and a pair of really cute shorts! (maybe some pics of them later)
see MissT! if you were back here the shopping would have been cheaper! and TopShop is carrying the kate moss line.. i remember seeing it on your blog sometime ago and i knew that you like it.. so see another reason for you to come back =P


still i'm wondering how 7 is going on and i'm sitting in on a friday night too tired to go out.. smart me went out so many times on the weekday that i'm tired now.. ish* went to lunar & zouk on a wednesday. yes part holiday crazy already..

now i should go to a beach somewhere.. and just relax.. ahh.. then my holiday will be perfect

and yes i'm still craving those darn cupcakes! someone please direct me on how to get to the pick up place?! or at least take me there!!
tomorrow night.. i'll be at laundry @ curve for some event.. so if anyone is interested in meeting up call! but i'll be there at night ok.. not the day..
KinkyCharles is having some stage time so i'll be going to support him.. he's the guy with really really red hair if nobody knew.. yes the super beng looking one.. hahaha.. ok charles dun kill me for that comment ok?
and he's giving away err.. dai fu (i'm not joking ok!)

heart* lyn
