Am back from  Bkk almost two weeks now. I had a lot of fun and uploaded a whole commentary with pics on facebook so i am really really lazy to blog about it.

But this is a really really good snapshot of us during the trip there.

I had a lot of fun and I really want to go again next year!!!

I also had a good time yesterday with almost a cny-type of reunion. Hoey is back from Aussie with Trent and there was a impromtu and sudden mini reunion at my house and all of us girls were hanging out playing Monopoly Deal, eating bakuteh at night, being girly in my room, and shisha later at night.

I likey.

And our families did not scare Trent off. I think. Ahahah!

I hope to go Melaka this weekend with them but me thinks mom will throw a fit at me if i do

this year's birthday is more special than the last- i don't know how is it possible that each year can top the last, but it seems to be happening to me and i am aware of the fact that i am a very lucky girl )

i said it to czeeyong as a joke that he should get me an iPad or a macbook air for my birthday but all i really wanted was just a simple watch to go to work.

he got me an iPhone though! he gave it to me before i went to philippines so that i would not be bored to death there.

that was the skin that i bought in bangkok to dress it up.

and in bangkok on my birthday eve, i got another gift from him.

my first ever card from a person who doesn't have a sentimental bone in his body and has probably never written a card, ever. so to have him do it means a lot to me

even if its a v manly three lines. none of that romantic poem shit AHAHA.

and i thought that was the end of that, because it was already too much.

but i came home to gorgeous sunflowers in a beautiful bouquet and in it was another card.

The card from the florist said "Hi dear. This is your second card from me this year!" that was when i realised he planned it all along. i thought he thought about the first card on a whim in bangkok.

from someone who isn't big on romantic gestures at all, i am really v touched. LOVE YOU!

Happy New Year everyone

I hope this year will be a great one financially, emotionally, and spiritually =P

As for me, I spent New Year's Eve...

In hospital

With this joker. LOL. In this picture, he was pretending to be a corpse in the ER ward -_-

Our journey started with us blissfully unaware about the day's later events. I dressed to go  out, short shorts and button down tee with heels. I thought we should stop by the doctor since Czeeyong had a small little blood clot-like rashes on his thigh that started spreading through out his body. Before that, I theorized that it could be an allergy towards the antibiotics that he has been taking for his flu- which he has not recovered from since the 19th.

So Czeeyong brought the medication along to show the doctor at the clinic. The GP took one look at his leg, freaked and decided there and then it was dengue fever-_- Freaked is an understatement, by the way. He was so panicky and on edge at the possibility of czeeyong having a dengue he started raising his voice when we tried to explain the chronology of czeeyong's illness =.= Then he asked the nurse passing by to look at his thigh."SEE SEE SEE THE BLISTERS. SEE. IT'S DENGUE."

Both of us thought it was kind of weird, since czeeyong was relatively still quite energetic, except for bouts of malaise and a blocked nose. But we didn't fault the doctor because we figured the doctor could be right. He had an on-off fever that could be early signs of dengue. So on his advice, we went straight to the hospital to check it out.

At the ER, the doc on duty sent him for a full blood check up but all the tests came back negative and relatively normal if not for a high WBC count that was due to his earlier infection.

But we still didn't know what was causing his rash. The doctor tested for ITP but it came back negative as his platelet count was normal.

Czeeyong was then advised to be admitted on precautionary measure. Poor guy was put on drip, and had another round of blood retrieved for more tests.

The whole thing took the entire day, and the next doctor that came to see him decided this morning that it was probably an allergy to augmentin. She said the GP probably over-reacted.

I get that the GP probably has czeeyong's best interests but still, it is a little unnecessary considering he didn't have the major important symptoms a dengue patient should have. No high fever, no joint pain, no bleeding gums, no major tiredness.

Oh well. We should be thankful at least that it's not dengue=)

And I think I make myself too at home in the hospital. I slept so soundly in czeeyong's hospital bed, and didn't budge when the nurses came in to change the drip or when the doctor came in to check on him. I don't think he slept that well and was up by 8a.m., but I slept all the way till 10.30. He just shook his head in amazement and asked me whether I thought I was staying in a hotel and the bed must be super comfortable.

It really was. HAHAHA.

2010 was a great big learning curve for me - i graduated, found a job, hated it and finallylandeda job which i love, even though it might not be what i studied. friends-wise, remains the same. i still enjoy hanging out with the same people. i still enjoy loving the same person.

i hate to jinx everything, but i feel like i am finally on the right foot with my boyfriend, someone whom i both love and respect at the same time. i do think that i am inspired to be a better person by being with him. we had a few huge blowouts this year, but i think all of that reached a turning point during the third quarter of the year. we have not had any major fights since , which i am praying will last. i am more mature, and ready to step into the future with him. i think. i know to a certain degree, i am still very spoilt and dependent on him, but who ask him to spoil me so much? Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha...

This Christmas I got a very cute mug warmer from him! It is a thermal mug with a USB butt so that it keeps my coffee warm at all times, whether I am in the car or in the office. He remembered my whinings and posts from way back talking about how much I wanted one but couldn't find any inMalaysia so he decided to get me one. He he! It's super cute and it just arrived today!!

I haven't been the best girlfriend in terms of gifts - this past year I bought him nothing. Just a Mr.Tall t-shirt in the beginning of the year. T_T Compared to what he has done for me, I got a whole island trip in the beginning of the year, lots and lots of soft toys, lots and lots of flowers, work clothes as a present when I was about to start work, and practically all my meals because I was so broke =(

tq hunni >.< i am really quite lucky to have you.

i will try to be more generous next year!

just got back from my first ever...business trip. I was down to JB mainly as an organizer, or representative for my company who is hosting focus groups with our client, a huge retailer in the country.

I'm just glad I made it out alive.

And with my shaky mandarin - I think I called my boyfriend and friend half a dozen times asking them for translations. czeeyong very kindly helped me translate every single sentence in the questionaire to ask a consumer we were going to follow for an accompanying shopping trip.

at one point, while waiting for the consumer to arrive- a very kind housewife with two young kids in tow, i was shaking with fear, out of nervousness that i would not do a very good job for my client. they were super demanding and I was afraid that I'd let my bosses down.

Thankfully, the lady was very chatty and talked without needing much prompting.

I was sick when I landed in JB too, and passed out in my bed on the first day there, my head was killing me but I had to sit through an entire day of focus groups, one of which got me into a lot of trouble because I could not answer a lot of questions which was asked by the client. It was not my fault anyway, I had zero idea and I had not been briefed earlier about the situation but still- not a very nice situation to face.

the lady was concerned about my inexperience and to that i have this to say

"try working in dna lab bitch."

everyone has got to start somewhere, and i'd like to see you get your hands dirty in a science laboratory.

i was glad to go home :>

and yesterday, czeeyong surprised me with a huge huge bouquet of sunflowers

I think it's the first real surprise i have gotten from him so i was more happy with that than I was about getting the sunflowers XD- he's a sweet guy most of the time, but not a very good surprise planner =p he ends up telling me his plans most of the time.

it's been difficult on my part, dealing with work and juggling time. what used to be nearly every day seeing each other has been down to twice or three times a week. and with the both of us changing so much, i do get scared sometimes whether we will still be on the same path a few years down the road, but hopefully it's all going to a better place.
