Also, in a week time Valentines Day will arrive filling the air with love.
As we always said it, everyday is or can be Valentines Day for those in love.
Exactly! Valentines Day can sometimes be a little too commercial and to me at times I see it as a reason or excuse to have a romantic dinner or a romantic getaway.
Yes, I am a typical girl who cant say no to anything romantic.

Since this and next week will be fill with love for most people, I decided to add a little love into my blog as well.
I’d like to turn these pictures into a real scene one day with my love before I die.

Sometimes I wonder, what love can do to people.
Happy Valentines Day in advance, go get some love! (:

Gonna party my night away and welcome 2012 with my love.
Hopefully there’ll be fireworks all around.

Dear Peggy,

Happy Belated Anniversary! If someone had told me that you and i are perfect for each other, I would not have believed them at first. But, they would have been right. Because I really think so. I know it sounds cliche, but “you-are-the-one” is reaffrimed with every passing day.And every day with you has been a blessing. I am rendered speechless and astonished when I thought of how we got together because you seemed a little too good for me and I am glad I did whatever it was to allow me to be with you.

I know I enjoy being together with you. My day just flies in seconds when i am with you. Thank you for being such a great girlfriend, and for being the support and my problem solvers.I know I can be difficult at times because I spend so much time in my own head, but whenever I decided to come out of that dreamworld, I always find you waiting for me and that means more than you can imagine. I truly appreciate you for the faith you have in me. We have so much together..our share of good and hard times, from the Melbourne days to the darkest days of my life, I would not have made it if it wasn’t for you. Just knowing you’re there for me makes everything all right. (:

You’re my best friend

You’re my problem as well as problem solver ( hahahah )

You’re what “home” feels like ( meal served, house kept, clothes washed etc LOLL )

You’re my source of laughter and humour ( ciao-dogs? )
You’re my singing partner, my pool kaki, and I can always be myself whenever I’m with you

You’re attentive when you listen, I mean really listen, to me all the time. ( when im down and when im being bossy haha )

You’re the best Ive ever had

I may not say i love you everyday as some may do. I may not have bought you beautiful gifts on occasions that matter. I may not have been understanding when you are feeling down. I know i would have failed if you judge me on these things alone. But if you could look through my heart, you would know the depth of my love for you. I hope we will be there for each other all the time and that we spend many more annivesaries together in our lifetime.

With all my love,
Ben

Some pictures from that day.

* I look so tiny beside my fatty

* I did not only organize the bazaar, I have a booth on that day too. I like my old wooden table!

* FHL again for accompanying me through the entire event. Haha

* This is the homemade scones I was selling on that day, made by fatty’s mom. Incredibly delicious and smells extremely good when I heat up the scones. We have about 60 scones and we sold off almost everything. (:

* My scones packaging (:

* Handmade by Ben and me, also with the help of bff for helping me paint the wood when I’m mad busy.

* Ampersand.

More pictures of the vendors at Big Market that day.

* Mossery by one of my designer colleagues. She designed and produced all of the notebooks! Very affordable too.

* LOZL selling handmade accessories.

* Momage selling handmade frames.

* Some lovely stamps.

* And books from Whenever Shop. Why the name is because the seller feels that we shall not restrict ourselves to buy gifts for our dear ones only on special occasion. We shall do it whenever we feel like it!

* The Great Indoors, they source for local vintage furniture, salvage them and it’s up for rent/sell.

* Petit Paper selling high quality stationery source around the world.

* BisouRose selling handmade body care with really nice packaging.

I am now considering organizing another bazaar next year if all else permit.

* Ending my post with a moustache picture of myself. Moustache handmade by me (:

I remember how a year ago, I was trapped in a dilemma.
I remember how people around me try to break us down at the beginning of the relationship but I also remember these few friends who were there for me all along.

However great the hardship, I never ever regret my decision a year ago.
And I dare say it is one of the best decision I’ve ever made, when some warned me not to because I see no wrong in the entire situation.
I feel bad and sorry but still, I see no wrong for all I did was to pick it up.
All the stares and bad talking, all the boycotts and whatnot, it is all worth it.
Some think it’s pure lust. Some think we’re just fooling around.
We both prove them wrong.

Here we are, still standing strong hand in hand after a year.
I cant tell what future lies ahead for us but I want to grow and learn about life together.
All I want is to treasure every moment with this person who brightens up my day, who never fail to put a smile on my face, who never fail to make me laugh everyday.

I am a person with absolute no patience, I get annoyed easily, I threw tantrum, I shout, I cried and I blame him for almost anything.
For all that, he still tries hard to tolerate and be patience with me whenever he can and from the bottom of my heart I truly appreciate it.
And for that, I control my temper whenever I can because I really do not want to be mad over the tiniest thing at the person who love me this much.
We both try to change for each other, not changing the personality but we try to eliminate all the negativity in us, trying to be a better person together.

That one thing that attracted me : his sense of humour.

Happy anniversary to the guy who ♥ me the most (:

Sometimes, human need to be a little more selfish in order to protect themselves.
I wouldn’t want to be the one who’ll get hurt under any circumstances.
So instead of me, why not you?

That’s where I ask, what is the whole point of it?

My twenty-third mini birthday party will not have ‘succeeded’ if Mr.Ben decides not to lend me a helping hand.
I am such a troublesome girlfriend sometimes.
And I gave him even more trouble when he needs to cook together with me for the food.
Gosh he hates it but still he’ll do it because he loves me. /tak-malu haha

* He blew the balloons and hang it on the tree for me.

He actually took the time and Google on how we can decorate the place to make it looks nicer, more appealing to the eyes.
How thoughtful (:

* Along with my helium balloons.

* This post is actually bombarded with pictures of balloons.

* Pink carnation (:

* Seriously hate taking these polaroids with a camera.

* But my scanner doesn’t seem to work ):

* I look like a little girl here. Sorry if this makes you puke haha!

* Wo de bay ♥

* Hihihi, Bryan always looks so cute.

* I like floating helium balloons!

* Spot Poh Juan, trying to help us snap a picture.

* My balloons are kinda big! /happy

* The only person who’s willing to take pictures with me and ze balloons.

* Yan and me.

* One thing sad about balloon is that they will ‘die’. And I thought of keeping ‘em till they ‘die’ but my annoying boyf set them free to the sky. Almost want to strangle him ):

* My birthday ‘cake’. Haven’t even started arranging my macaron, Alvin already took one and put it in his mouth. Almost strangle him too.

* Ending my post with a funny picture of me. /heheh

Just a simple birthday where some of my close friends celebrate it with me.
Appreciate much!
A big thank you to those who wish me and to those who made an effort to be with me on my birthday.
A big thank you to my love for doing so much, for all the surprises and love.
A big thank you to my parents for the life they gave me and thank you God for everything.

Oh wait, how can I even forget to mention this.
A big thank you to bff’s boyf Mah Weng Kee for letting me fill up his house with balloons, hah.

With ♥

And sometimes in life, your not-so-common-dream will be laugh at.
Sometimes, no one in the world believe in your dream. Nobody believe in your plan.
But does it matter? Maybe not as long as you believe in yours.

Why lead an ordinary life when we’re all gonna die at the end anyway. When no one escapes death.
I truly admire those who dare to dream, those who not only dream but dare to do things in a different way, who dare to take the road less/not taken, who dare to make things happen.
I admire their bravery, their guts. How they do not give a care in the world and do what they like, what they wish, and what makes them happy.

Let others be a step in front of you, or few steps if they may in terms of position or the money they get to earn.
I believe that as long as we’re all alive, chances will always be there for us to catch up and be a few steps ahead in return if you wish. Nothing is permanent.
But again does being in whatever position matters that much?
Might not be much to me.
I do not mind being slow. I do not mind earning a little less.
Because all that I want is to do what I like, feed my inner soul and be happy.

I do not in a million years want to regret on what I did not do and years down the road all that I can ask myself is ‘what ifs’.
I do not want ‘what ifs’ in my life.
There are indeed a few things which I regretted for not doing in life and it pulls me down because I know that I can never turn back time.

There’s a whole lot of rational thinkers out there but I’m sure I’m not one of them.
I’m just force to be one because of the voices around me, which I hate.
I am irrational. I am a dreamer. And I’ll continue being a person like such until one fine day where I get to prove to myself that I am right for trusting no one but me.

For I know that some of the greatest, most successful or happiest person who ever live on earth are irrational thinkers.

For people who laughed at me for going to Melbourne for 3 months; I learned how to cook, I learned how to take care of a house, I learned about Melbourne and their culture, I experienced something different, I experienced Autumn, and so much more.
And most importantly, I am happy, I feel contented, and it open up my vision.

In that 3 months, what have you learned and experienced?

Anyone can crash my dream in their mind, but no one can crash my dream in my mind.
I want to take the road less taken and I want to promise myself that I will.

Us?
Yes, my blog and I. (:

I’m 23 (not liking the number) and my blog is 5.
My blog grows with me, it is to me a mini story book of my own.
A little something for me to ‘flip’ through when I feel like reminiscing.

Right now, right here I would love to express my gratitude to people I know, to people who left a mark in my life be it tiny or a big mark; for all the good and the bad, for all the love and the hate.
For all that I learned how to appreciate everything a little more.

The long-ass-post below is not by me, obviously.
It’s written by my bff, her first blog post and I can tell that she’s having fun writing the essay HAHA! :p
Thank you bff for praising me when I’m not even half as good haha!
Thank you bff for the wish and thank you bff for everything!
We will one day, get to celebrate each other’s birthday again. Worry not (:

Birthday post coming up soon, I hope.
Till then.

I remember the people and noises they make.
I remember the scene and colours.
I remember the laughter and smile on everyone’s’ faces.

I remember everything being so perfect but at that very same moment I felt like the loneliest girl in the world.
Surrounded by so many people and laughter but yet I feel absolutely isolated. I isolate myself.
I forced myself to put a smile on my face, or rather fake a smile.
Something bothered me. My brain couldn’t stop thinking, my heart couldn’t stop rushing.
I was nervous and upset all together, I do not know what exactly to feel.
I try to be happy. I am happy for having my scorpio girls with me and my friends.
But I wasn’t entirely happy.

I was feeling down. I was emotional and people can tell.
I can tell from their faces that they know I’m feeling really emotional deep down.
Somehow or rather the look in their eyes make me wish that I weren’t there.

I remember that night.
I remember how I felt.
One year, everything changes.
I feel silly for being so upset last year at my birthday party. I should enjoy.

This year, it will not be the same.
I will be so much happier, this is for sure. (:
I’m excited and nervous all together.
Very looking forward to spend my birthday with the guy I love. (:
