Sent him this pic first....
and then this one...
Because I couldn't decide which one would be more appealing so I sent both LOL.
and then I anxiously waited for a reply...
5 minutes passed and no message, was starting to drift back to sleep when suddenly this came in he layan me! LOL.
usually he would just reply with text messages but this time he actually took the time to scribble a note and took a pic with it too.awwwwwww....
and my last reply =)
We set up a Skype date after that.
This year would be our first time celebrating Valentine's as a couple but boyfie was very upset that we couldn't spend it together. Needless to say, I was brooding too. *sulks*
I thought of getting myself some salmon for dinner since it's Valentine. Maybe some good food would cheer me up! But I ended up doing work in the library till late and by the time I was done all the shops were closed, FML.
I felt horibble. This year I was feeling more lonely than usual because I always, always had someone with me during Valentine's. Even when I was single my bestie and I would also get together and celebrate this day together.
This year even bestie is too far away from me =(
But being my bestest bestie she still managed to surprise me with a virtual bouquet!
I LOVE YOU BESTIE! Thank you for being so thoughtful when you sensed that I was down *hugs*
At night I was having indomee for dinner and feeling depressed again. Suddenly there was some incoming "spam" in whatsapp and I complained that I had no Valentine dinner.
This time, lily and her bf did the funniest and most heart-warming thing... by skyping me during their dinner LOL.

But the line was so bad for a while that's all I saw.
Eventhough they couldnt hear me very well, they showed me their very tempting affogato and both of them took turns to talk to me and kept me occupied during this lonely Valentine.
Wanted to say I'm #foreveralone but how could I? When I have such a lovely partner and wonderful friends around me.
Everytime things get hard I want all of you to know that each of you have in many ways become a source of strength and motivation to keep me going on.
I love each of you so so much.
Happy Valentine's Day! =)
This year, on the same day, I return to the airport again to be on the same flight back to Brisbane.
Only daddy and mommy came to send me off this time. And as I hugged her, my nose turned sour and I had to purposely avoid eye-contact with her after that to avoid bursting into tears.
I thought it would be easier this time, knowing that I'm flying back to a not-so-unfamiliar land, with my houssie waiting to pick me from the airport. But saying goodbye again for another year brought upon a different level of sorrow upon me.
I hate parting with my loved ones again. But perhaps it's also because I know exactly what I'm flying back to. That dreaded feeling of going back to something that I'm not even sure if I want it anymore. But I have to bear the results of my choices and I will finish what I've started even though I've grown to dislike it to quite an extent.
Who's there to tell you what to do when you suddenly realized what you've been going after is not what you want?
I have so many things to blog about ever since my holidays started on the 5th of December!
Being back home is the best feeling ever =)
There were so many gatherings, there was also CF and my Xmas Singapore trip and finally, I've just returned from Taiwan last week.
and the most memorable thing that happened in Taiwan was probably how we almost missed our flight.
I've been late for dinners, meetings and movies...but I tell you nothing scares me as much as missing a flight.
Never ffk a plane man.
Story goes that on the last day, we decided to do some last minute souvenir shopping in the Taipei Station. A very friendly shopkeeper at Shi Lin the night before told me that they had a floor dedicated to selling some of Taiwan's best pastries to visitors.
All she said was that it was on the second floor.
And the station was HUGE. so HUGE that the locals can get lost inside it. There were so many underground malls and passages that after half an hour of searching boyfie and I were pretty much lost. Asked for directions and they were lost themselves =.="
In the end we walked out of the tunnel to the main roads and decided to walk towards the building and start from there.
That easily took us about an hour and a half.
After that it took us about another half an hour to locate the correct floor and start our pastry hunting. I decided to try every shop's pineapple tart until I find the one worth me bringing back.
By the time I found the one it was 1.30 p.m.
Plane flies at 3.30 p.m.
1.30 I was suppose to be leaving the hotel. What happened to time???
HOW DID I MANAGE TO DO THIS TO US!??! FML.
Asked boyfie why didn't he warn me and he said he didn't wanted to be too pushy.
oh dai dai dai.
By the time we managed to buy everything and hail a cab it was about 2 p.m.!
Reached back the hotel boyfie and I transformed into super packers and packed all the souvenirs as fast as we could and called a cab.
And waited.
...and waited.
WHERE THE HELL IS THE BLARDY CAB??
It was raining and time was running thin.
By the time we got on the cab it was near 2.30. Talk about being 2 hours there before check in time blehh.
I fell asleep in the cab but boyfie was so nervous he was planning what to do if we missed the flight.
When I opened my eyes I saw that it was 2.50 p.m. OMG.
Mother Mary Jesus Buddha please hail that plane.
The taxi pulled up at the airport at 3.15 p.m and I ran as quick as I could to the counter and left boyfie there to handle the taxi and the luggage.
Counter was blinking red indicating it was closed.
Oh no you don't.
Grabbed boyfie and the stuff and ran to the check-in counter at 3.20 p.m. An uncle was there and he asked me where I was going and I answered "Malaysia!"
He shook his head and told the girl to process our boarding pass as quick as possible and shouted at us to RUN.
And run we did.
I could hear them broadcasting the last call for our flight and that made my heart sank like titanic.
We ran all the way through customs and rows and rows of shops until we reached the boarding gate.
And lucky for us, we managed to board the plane.
I didn't dare to utter a word until we were both seated and buckled up.
Boyfie:"Never in my life, has this ever happened to me before."
Me:"Look at all the new experiences I bring to you!" *BIG GRIN*
Boyfie gave me a very meh look.
To be honest, I don't think I want to give such expierences to anyone anymore. Including myself.
But to conclude it all, Taiwan trip was awesome!
I am planning to save up and go back there for a shopping trip again hehe. But no more chasing planes this time *shivers*
The venue was a classy Italian restaurant by the port =)
usual vain shot in the car xD
we were paranoid that we wouldn't be able to find the place so we set out to leave the house early and...
unexpectedly we arrived half an hour earlier swt.
the place wasn't that hard to find afterall.
housemate gladly volunteers to help me take pics when there are nice backgrounds lol.
after a while, the sun started to set so housemate got the idea of shooting silhouettes.
i like the next one!
housemate's idea of a pic inside a pic
the original pic I took in my phone LOL.
I must say...why my housemate so talented and creative one har?
Later when all the ladies arrived we settled down for our banquet style dinner.
No pics of the food because I was busy eating and figuring out what I'm putting into my mouth haha wtf.
Honestly, I have no idea what half the menu was about. The only thing I recognised was olive and risotto @.@
And dessert was tiramisu and chocolate mousse xD
I eventually found out from my coursemate beside me that I've been eating veal and some roll up pasta with ham and spinach lol.
the only pic I have of dinner, still waiting for more group pics from coursemate.
btw, left is Lauren and right is Clair =) both are very funny and intelligent ladies.
went bar hopping for thre first time in Brissy after that. not gonna talk much about it but I notice that the girls here really dress pretty and look pretty for night outs!
Makes me feel so... ordinary, sigh.
ok lah, no time for self-pity T____T
I'll be emersing myself in clinic work for the next 2 weeks! Trying my best to close up all my cases before I head home for my holiday~
Boyfie will be picking me up from the airport, can't wait! =)
Going to the mall only means one thing in my dictionary =)
Even though I always refer to what I do as "damage" but honestly, I've never been able to buy so many gorgeous stuff at such low cost.
Shopping back home will never bring me the same satisfaction anymore, le sigh.

what I wore on that day. Super love this dress because of the back-design xD
and it's made of thin and comfy material, perfect for the weather now.

the 2 new additions to my wardrobe *heart*
Went to Woodypoint to catch the sunset after that =)
I has a housemate with good photography skills *glee*
Counting down the days till the real holidays come :(
