Redoing the first

Still Constantine but and girlfriend!

I showed you the riskiest text I ever wanted to send to an old friend. You read it and you knew. I alighted the bus and walked slowly towards you. Without saying a word, you drew me into your arms and let me breathe you in for the longest hug.

Through the night you paid great attention to me, occasionally asking, "how is my baby?"and every time I let my lip curl, you'd draw me in again and hug me till I'm better.

I really wish she met you. My best friend would've loved you.

I don't know what else to hope for.

My first words

Of 2016 were,

"I love you."

And I will mean it for the rest of my life.

You were tipsy last night before you fell asleep. You kept hugging me and telling me how much you wanted to marry me and how deeply you loved me. And I believed you. I hinged on every word. I'll love you to my last breath, this I swear.

I have never known anything better.

New Year's Eve's eve

The eve of my New Year's eve were spent with the best girls I could ask for.

Met bel after work to pass her her very belated birthday present! She was craving Sukiya's buffet and even though I have the stomach size of a tennis ball, I decided to go along with it thinking my stomach might rise to the occasion.

And I was wrong!!! My stomach disappointed me! I ended up eating only four slices of pork and being too full to function!

But it was a great day because I managed to inspire bel into starting her mini Carousell business and we went around Japan Home hunting for her first ever fixed asset. And then hunting for a spot to take nice photos in.









My prettiest girlfriend awww.



The puppy pound is bel haha.

Also I tio scam by the sticker lady who asked for my hand and I gave it to her and whoop minutes later, I had three pretty printed nails and seven plain nails and so I bought more.



Hence my photo to Gabriel after.







Met Candice at Kovan but headed to Cathay for Star Wars because she said she hadn't watched it and I said I did and it was so fucking good, I could watch it again. Which led to me being signed up to really watch it again.

But it was still fucking amazing the second time. Watching all the old crew come out was magical, I could cry. Candice didn't really get what's going on but she liked the little BB-8 so she got that going for her.

Me, I'm R2-D2 FOREVER.

As you can tell

I overdress to meet the boyfriend all the time.

I spent the entire afternoon religiously researching for tips on improving my oral skills. And I had such a great night planned. I had most of the steps tweaked to suit my personal style. But my mood sort of deteriorated throughout the day.

But he made it so much easier.

I was feeling grumpy when I met him and hence didn't talk too much. Instead of mulling over it, he drew me into his arms and comforted me and after a while, all my skies were bright again.

He wanted to take me out to a nice dinner because I was all dressed up but both the places we wanted to go were closed, so he spontaneously ordered my favorite Indian food for dinner and I knew he deserved every bit of the research I did earlier that day.

This is for my own personal memory keepsake of course but it was wonderful. Giving was wonderful. And I forgot how long I've deprived him of it until he moaned, "Marry me," in his ectasy and I remembered how much I loved it when he did that, and how long it has been since.

But the main focus of this post is Nicole, remember the 360 degree move. Sear it in your brain and use it for the next time you, you know, do something stupid and require his immediate and utter forgiveness.

My mornings go like

This:

"Baby I don't know where are the shorts."

"I gave you."

"I wear but come out."

And he dozes off again.

My boyfriend is the most adorable thing. He has the habit of taking off his pants in his sleep because it's too hot under the blankets. And he'll always wake up with his shorts misplaced and I'll have to find it for him.

Today was no different. Me waking up earlier than him, preparing breakfast, then kissing him awake so we can eat together.

I love the moments when he stirs. He's starting to be awake and he would place a protective hand on my thigh, then he would peek through one eye and see that it's me and smile sleepily and bear hug me into his arms, returning my kisses on whichever part of my face I push towards his lips :)

My favorite morning routine.

Today I managed to nail the perfect breakfast, as he gestured to the table spread and instructed that this was the exact spread he wants for all future breakfasts at my place from now on.

We caught another Friends episode that I watched previously so I spent much of the episode fussing over him and bothering him, planting my face next to him knowing he'll automatically turn and kiss me heh heh.

He had to leave in a while for a meetup and I kept refusing, holding his hand and grumpily shaking my head at him till he laid with me back in bed, giving me the final few snuggles to remember him by before he left.

Now I'm a sad puppy again :(

"I missed you so much

... That I had to come over to see you!"

I woke up with the boyfriend today, fussing over him, still sleeping adorably. I packed his room and kept trying to nudge him awake when our breakfast, only to have his first words be, "baby could you set the table for breakfast?"

Oh my lazy lover man.

He started watching Friends and it was an episode I cleared before, so I kept bugging him, planting my face beside his and kissing him senseless. And once he finished eating, I climbed back into his bed and demanded his affection and he gave and he gave and he gave :)

After a while, he sent me downstairs to a cab!

And of course once I got home, I snapped out of my love-idiot blubber and made the family download Psych!, this app I was trying for fun. Each of us will be shown the question and then asked to make up an answer that can fool your mates.

Then you figure out the right answer.

And look at my sister:



She thinks she's mighty smart pissing me off like that but hey hey hey she chose my "rehabilitating rogue squirrels" as an answer so WHOSE THE IDIOT! I so knew she had no clue what neither rehabilitate and rouge meant.



And again.

Me and my brother really think the same way haha, we were supposed to come up with possible answers to what speed bump means in Swedish. And I wrote spedo bup while my brother wrote speed bump with many symbols in between hahaha.

Anyway after awhile, despite seeing each other for three days straight, Gabriel took a train down to Jurong to see me and the minute he saw me, he wore the brightest smile and hugged me like his life depended on it.

We did some Christmas shopping and ended up giving our movie a miss because he knew I wasn't too keen on it, and instead laid with me in bed playing Psych with my family. And he is pretty smart because I got fooled by him incessantly :/

He loaded up The Reverent and I dozed off an hour into the film. He carefully shifted me to the head of my bed and adjusted my arms and legs around my bolster before tucking me in safely. And God did I feel lucky. So, so lucky.

Fell asleep the most content girl in the world.

Christmas with the best

Christmas started out at my grandma's!

I was early to pack my parcels and my aunt excitedly joined in. My grandma went into cooking overdrive and so I had to overeat heh heh. Dozed off a while waiting for the family to reach and then it was lunch round II!

Gabriel and I had a small fight after that and I was super upset but I tried to not let it bother me, and decided to join my family outside playing Big Two. And I couldn't stay angry much longer because my God I had such great hands. I couldn't lose.

So of course my appetite grew as we switched to Blackjack and my dad decided that nothing is exciting until the first bet is in, so we played in denominations of 20 cents. And it was fun heh heh, considering I ended my final round with two aces!!!

But above all it was seeing my whole family happily laugh over the game. All seven of us were so fixated that my grandma and granddad had to come over to peek and help with the cards. My younger uncle took out all his coin assets to share. It was such a cute scene.

Headed to Gabriel's after telling him to egg his family into betting for achap, in time for me to nicely join in. And it must have been beginner's luck but I managed to win about $50, which meant I was in charge of paying for transport that night!

But it was lovely. For such a long time, I was convinced his relatives couldn't accept me and finally, in the warmth of their jokes and sighs that I was on a streak, I felt okay in their company again.

And of course there's Gabriel, so lovingly refusing to let me stay angry with him when I was talking to everyone else but him. So lovingly bringing me food and drinks and nudging me till I kissed him and hugging me for good luck.

I truly have the most understanding man in the world.
