Baby is out of town again this week to UAE again and sometimes I feel he is like a soldier on secret mission who has to leave the town anytime required.
The balloting results were finally released and we dont know whether to be happy or disappointed. It was like you got it, you nearly got it, you may get it.
Hopefully there will be better news in Mar/Apr and we certainly are much more fortunate than the other thousand over whom has balloted for the same flat.
Met up with some friends yesterday. suppose to be quite a group, but some couldnt make it, some said they will come but then make ppl wait and never turn up, some cant wait to leave. Well, although I was late but at least I came.
Spidy and her hubby came to see me and we ended up having coffee with those who came for the gathering.
Baby, rest assured I will not be bored because Spidy will be haunting me for this week.....I can imagine her "hip hip hooray" ringing at the background knowing that you are away again.....
Will be doing my training separately and see you again real soon!

The famous makan beast (guru) with a pea brain...
A recent news reported about this famous makan guru (known as "vegetable basket") commented about his views about marriage. He, whom feels that one husband and wife is a audacious rule and he supports extra marital affair, as long as the other party is not aware. "Good seeds should be sow widely" He said.
Psycharist Dr Hong rebuted the makan guru with an nalysis, which I have translated into english for you readers as follows:
"In the beast's world, there could be many mates and that is because, beast has very small main brain, mainly using it's small and mid brain to function. It's small brain controls its desires, and it's mid brain controls emotion. Whereas a human being, uses main brain to think and function, therefore we are able to develop concepts like honesty, responsibility etc, which is lacking in the function of a beast's brain and that is what makes the difference between a human and beast.
With concepts like these, hence human are receptive of a one man and woman marriage ruling.
However, if someone believes that it should be a man and countless woman marriage, that would, in another word means, that someone is a person who do not uses main brain to think and function and is someone who allows desires and emotions to rule over and take controls, hence what makes it a difference from his brain to that of a brain of a beast?"
So now I know, man who shares same thought and beliefs like this makan guru has actually a birth defect and is born a human with a pea brain of a beast, and thus I guess that's how the chinese idiom "REN MIAN SHOU XING" came about.

Our 1st wall painting attempt - Audrey Hepburn
Baby and I had our first attempt to revive his room with a new fresh coat of paint. He is really proper with the procedures that he had actually scrapped off some of the old paint, fill in the cracks will cement and file them with sandpaper before priming the walls.
I have ever painted my house a few times with dad and all we did was to apply the new coat on the existing one. the greatest sense of achievement was to be able to paint our own room and giving the whole house with a new lifted clean look. I like to dyi painting the wall myself but doing Baby's room was the most challenging task especially the priming part.
Filling up the cracks with cement was fun. All you need to do is to fill in the gap with the cement, squeeze the gap with as much cement as possible, before scrappign off the excess and even out the surface. It was fun for me until I opened the can of priming mixture. The pungent smell hit hard on my face that I almost fainted. The mixture was thick and it was filled with strong smell of the dabin oil.
The whole room was filled with the smell and I felt so toxicated. The hardest part was to remove the priming mixture from our bare hands. Because it is made of oil base, we have to remove using thinner. At first, the thinner which was flowing through my bare hands felt like cooling lotion and seeing the paint off from my bare hands was a relief to me, until I felt the burning sensation which felt like hot chillies rubbing against my hands. I complained of the pain as it gets stronger and Baby was so worried that he quickly asked me to run my hands under the tap. The burning sensation lasted for a few mins and gradually faded off. That was when we realised how dangerous it could be if we are ignorant to the proper usage of chemical products. He chased me out from the toliet and clean up the tools himself while I squat outside the toliet watching him.
After the most difficult part was over, we manage to coat the fresh paint (odourless) on the wall and completed it within about half an hour, before we started painting the Audrey Hepburn's picture onto the wall. We mirroed the actual image and traced it onto the wall then edited abit here and there before painting it. We managed to complete the whole painting at about 11pm and all our hardship has paid off quite well with an almost Audrey Hepburn look-a-like painting completely painted on his wall...
Glad he likes it! :)

You meant alot to me.
This year new year seems to be more busier than ever although we started the spring cleaning much earlier.
Happy things happen and sad news spoken. This year is a year full of changes. Another nice colleague of mine is leaving. I had the longest break of the year. 6 days in total plus another 2 days of mc becos of serious inflammation in my nose which has yet caused my flu and cough and fever again. My sudden rashes erupts as and when and has to take antihistamine to put it under control. Now I have to carry the medication with me wherever I go. Well not a big issue, just have to pop a pill to suspress the rash whenever it happen.
A rose a day from baby until the actual Vday. He is really a romantic guy. So much so that I felt so ashamed for not knowing how to appreciate it.
We have known each other for 4 years but together for coming about 9 mths now. We been through alot more thicks and thins within this 9 months of dating and he is always the one to help me to resolve our arguements. Without his patience, I guess we would have countless of cold war between us. Thanks Baby for being a leader to guide me through this relationship and believing that we could have open communication. I have learn to voice out my displeasure and listen to explanation. I have learn to accept things as they are and is still trying to overlook the negatives and focus more on the positives. I keep reminding myself that I aint a perfect person also and I am glad you accepted me as the way I am, my temper, my expectation, my mood swings, my bad health and weird jokes.
Thank you for understanding me, thank you for accompanying me to my childhood places to see see look look, thank you for always keeping a look out for me, thank you for everything. No matter if the things you did were imperfect to you, but they are series of events in our lives and left imprints in our memories. I still want to re-watch the Valentine's day with you.......
I aint good with my words or could care for you well enough, but I need you to know you mean alot more to me.

Updates
Its the time of the year again! The Chinese Lunar New Year. As before, we are making some goodies this year, with a new additional butter cookies (thanks to Spidy for the recipe). This year, we managed to finish the baking in the shortest time and that is because I have got Baby's and Spidy's help this year.
Come to think of it, I feel very appreciative towards Baby. He is there to help without a word of complain. How many man agree to mingle around with the ladies and help with baking? But the greatest chef or cook in this world is a man! And Baby did the task just as well. He took over the difficult tasks, giving us comments on the cookies, helping me to make the dough because I find it strenuous to keep kneading the dough. Helping us to buy (last min) the agar agar powder, getting me my dinner, and the greatest thing about him is, he is not the Chauvinist type whom think that cooking or baking should be a woman's job.
But then again, his engineering instinct hovers around during the baking process with me witnessing him wanting to put the bowl of butter on top of the oven in order to speed up the melting process, cutting the tracing paper with a pen in hand to trace out a circle before cutting it, his adventurous nature to add whatever he think he can find from the fridge as topping to the cookies. He is a big giant with a detailed heart.
And so I am very appreciative of what you have did. Thank you. :)
The Lotus painting is done after almost about 6 mths gone. Not that I took 6 mths to complete it. But I was not able to grasp the right way and mood to paint it. It was not my strength to paint flowers. Anyway, I managed to rush it out just during the past two weeks and handed it to my Dean already. Its definitely hard to tell him how much the painting should cost but I rather leave it to him to give it a price. You know, the complicatio if you charge a price which he finds it has overcharging, or I give it a miserably low price and I will feel short changed. Nevertheless, that's over! Another task off my shoulder.
Then was busy with spring cleaning, trying to make my room less untidy.
Work is always getting more and more busy. Life is very much happier now, many things that I have outgrown with, more contented and less demanding and more receptive of imperfection.
Our cookies!
Agar agar made by me!

My hurt finger after cleaning that damn window. @#!*&%^!
