31 July 2011

The excitement that creates water forming and dwelling in my eyes.
I have not have such feeling for a long time.
and it's only Mayday's power.
Only they can create such impact in my life.
If you have not been to their concert, you might want to consider going for the coming one...

They are a group of dreamers,
who works towards their dream and becoming successful in the career,
showing others not to give up with dreams.
The most important thing is: they enjoy what they are doing.
 I am going through every toughship in life, like what i learnt from them,
 to maintain my determination to dare to dream.
Whether to be a nurse, a photographer, a gardener,
whether to be a respectful daughter, a faithful wife, a being respected mother in the future,
I'll make sure those dreams, I go through them.

Mayday make their dreams work big time,
SO CAN I...
:)




PS: I cannot wait for their coming 3Dimensional Concert to come to Singapore...
Gonna be awesome max...

30 July 2011

Sis blogged something really funny and I totally agrees with it.
This was what happened to me over the past few days when I spent some quality time with my momsie...

http://nancieakane.blogspot.com/2011/07/life-11_28.html

Do read and prepare to laugh...

Just to add on... I relly love the way my mum giggles before saying what she wants to rely.
Like you know, she really laugh at her own jokes before saying.
And when she finally complete her story,
everyone laughs with her...
1/3 due to the joke.
but 2/3 due to her laughter.

hahaha...
my incredible mummy...
i love her so...


• a date with subha•
28 July 2011

Was supposed to meet my girl last week, but due to a sudden change of my working shift,
finally we managed to catch a free time together for catching up.
Too bad, fifi was afraid of receiving calls for her medic,
and we carry on our dates without her.

Working as medics isn't easy.
Challenging it is.

Anyways, after shopping around at town for a while,
we head to Timbre at old-school.
A perfect place for both of us to chillout.

Again, more photos up on FB.
These are the selective ones, out from the selected in FB.
haha..

Oh ya, and and...
I brought my latest purchased prime-lens with me.
My beginner shoots on portrait.
Not very good at them yet.
Just the right chance for practise.




 my favourite: passion fruit flavoured white wine.

 chicken and basil pizza. (with no sight of any basil.)

 crabmeat aglio olio.


We were recommended to try their new couple drink...

 First Kiss.

and..

 True love. ( this taste soooooo much better).



 The waitress who shot for us.
(Thanks for telling me you know DSLR when I wanted to do the settings. Results: my photo turns out BLUUUUR)

 My favourite shot of the day.






 Love the acoustic band of the day.
becos they sang my favourite song 'suddenly i see from KT Tunstall'.
ya.. i delicate the song. and they sang my request.
enjoy much...





So what happen was our delicated songs were not sang by the band.
ba actually sent in the requested song and at the end of it,
she typed 'happy birthday Anna.'

It was freaking hilarious because the band will most prolly sang the requested song for the birthday person.
And we thought of the idea of faking the birthday status just to get our delication read out.
It was always so much of fun and laughter when i'm with subha and fifi.
The kind of laughter that lasted through out the outing,
and still able to reminded after a decade.

yes, it's been a decade.
and I love this girl for who she is.
Life changes very much when a person grows up.
But when we meet up,
even after so long,
we went back to who we were when we are 13.
She's the girl who watched me change.
and accept everything about me.

So what if we hasn't meet up for months,
when we catch up,
it feels as close as siblings.
Thanks for being there, Subha.
Not forgetting fifi.
With them, I'm proud to say I have great friends of two other races.
:)


• Advance Diploma•
21 July 2011

so sgh bonding for Advance Dip. is out.
ah phuah ask me if i'm interested.
With last yr failed chance to self bond myself,
i've decided to get hospital to bond me into getting it.

actually i really hate getting sponsorship and stuff.
no sense of freedom.
all i feel is tight-down.
but it's true that after graduating from adv dip,
i'll need to carry on working in whichever hospital,
which makes no difference in getting the bond,
when you need to 'payback' another 2yrs of working for them.

so i went ahead to apply,
giving ah phuah all the documents needed.
she helps me collate my sick leave and hospital leave and,
got a shock..!!

last year i took a total of 27 days of sick-leave cum hospital leave.
and she told me she will still recommend me to study and went ahead applying for me.
i see why i failed my application last year.

this time round,
i'm not putting high hopes into getting in.
i have been trying to keep myself healthier,
and reduced much on mc rate.

if i don't get in this year,
next year will be my last chance to it.
if i fail the application again,
i shall carry on in pursuing my degree with my boy.

talking about it,
both of us have a thought of pursuing our degree together.
same course...!!
and same class if we can.
i think it is the coolest thing for a couple or even better, husband and wife,
to study together.
this is one of the wish, we have.
let's see where future brings us to...



anyway, best of luck to my application...


• my boyfriend's new girl•

It was just so random yesterday that after work,
I went to Cathay Photo @ Peninsula Plaza,
to buy a new sexy girl for my beloved BF (D5000).

Like what many people agreed,
prime lens are the cheapest and useful lens that is a 'must-have' for all photographer.

Now with this lens,
outing with my friends will give me no excuse to practice portrait.
With a weight of 200g,
this little sexy is gonna be my common used.

This is her sexy look...
AF-S 35mm F/1.8G


:)

PS: I got myself gradient filters too. I want to shoot what people can produce...


• When I lost count•
19 July 2011

The every 19 of the month.
I used my fingers and toes to count.
And I've really lost count.

When I tot it was our 43rd mensiversary, it's already our 44th.
time flies....
how many 44 months can we go through with someone?
when you are able to meet them almost every single day?
end work to see him, fetching me and accompanied me half way through the 1hr bus ride,
while the other half spent on chatting on phone till i'm home safely.

how can anyone tolerate having a bf who is just like a kid?
passing by toys department in any departmental stall,
I will be dragged to see those fascinating toys that only kids get hooked to.
my little boy here,
who likes to get my attention sometimes, by doing the craziest nonsense things ever.
like a kid, who always wants to rest his head on my shoulder when we travel.

how good can it be when nothing is stopping us right now.
because all these 44 months,
have proven to everyone how difficult it is to stop both of us from loving.
it has never been easy,
going through tough times.

looking back makes us see brighter future.
because we were so strong before,
we will still be or maybe stronger than now...

all and all,
let us carry on moving forward for there are more 4 yrs ahead of us to fight and keep our dreams ahead.
:)


• long awaiting•

It was since 2010 January that I last heard about them.
Since then, they went missing soon after the concert.
And when 3D movies are in trend,
these guys came out with a 3D concert, this year...


Do you think I will missed out this concert?
When are they coming to S'pore.
Seriously can't wait...


MAYDAY: 3DNA




• our fishing trip•
18 July 2011



After a hectic week at work,
I received my weekend off.
Spending the whole of it doing every freedom thing I have in mind.

On Saturday, Weihao and I prepared our gears and proceed to Changi Beach for fishing and picnic in tentage.


While he set up the tent,
I put the fishing rod together...



 The black one on the left is mine rod.
The blue one on the right is his.


Boat to Pulau Ubin is everywhere...




 By evening, the National Parade Rehearsal started, and a loud ROAR~~ was heard...
Look up the sky and...



Sunset.
Awesomely beautiful...


 Golden sky with golden sea..



Aeroplanes were super near.
Ya, because we are located at Changi...
 Not forgetting my lil ones..
who spend time with us too...
:)



• like or hate?•
10 July 2011

JCI.JCI.JCI.
It's all that I'm hearing at work.
So this once-every-two-year auditing is coming again.
And I so hate it because everyone is so tensed up over this 'event'.

Well, tomorrow is the day. The day for auditing.
And being in an isolation ward,
our ward has became the ward of must-go.
A compulsory place for their visits.
I personally hate this so much.

Policies after policies.
Infos after infos are forced to remain in our minds,
and after this week,
after this 5 days of auditing the whole hospital,
we can finally get a little break.

So to make things easier,
competent staff were allocated to work on day and noon shift.
While the rest gets their night and off days.
And me?
Starting from today, a 6 days working combo as a result.
The Good thing is: 5 days of afternn shift and followed by a last day of morning shift.
Like I always mentioned, I love afternn shift.
But due to this audit, I hated it much.
It's a love-hate situation for me.

Whatever..
Can't wait for everything to come to a stop.
CAN'T WAIT~~!


• emotions•

Alright, it's time to blog once again.

Lately, things have been dull. Changes occuring and it's time to adapt again. When I wanted things to quickly get stablized, it slowed down even more. And there goes the whole process of adapting and pulling things through together. Assurance have been given over and over again. And I hope I can pull through every single moment with him. I hope I will be stronger. Because there are times the thought of giving up came through my mind.

I know it would be damn selfish of me, if I ever leave, if I ever give up. Things have been getting tougher which I hope to see a brighter side of life. A brighter future for us. Lately my emotions is giving way. Frustrations were easily vent out on innocent. Or maybe I just wanted it to let it go freely. Let my emotion goes. But after what had happened, I felt like a wicked old witch, nagging and whining and wanted everything to suit my way.

I hate this side of me. I apologize for the nonsense vented. It came out so hard to control, and I need a solution to it. If better, a prevention to it. I know I have been taking it for granted. I need to be appreciative. I always know, but when frustration overwork the needs, things get haywired once again.

Things need aa change right now. I know this is not the life I wanna go through. I know I don't want such unhealthy lifestyle. Never give up on me, to prove me how strong it is you are. And showing me the strength that's in you, so that I can continue to appreciate you for everything... Your love went unconditioned and I should stop taking it all for granted. Sorry for being such a fuss. Like an old wicked witch. Let's move ahead. Let me drop all these nonsense.

Thanks for keeping your temper low. Thanks for everything.

• half way there•
01 July 2011

Had my 12th driving lesson yesterday noon, and cleared my stage 2.
I'm glad i'm already half way through to get my driving license.
Coming to stage 3, I'm going to learn about crank course, and parking.
And I believe that will be one of the toughest section ever.

Once I clear my stage 3, I'll be very near to TP.
I can't wait to go through every single lesson right now,
and things are just getting more and more exciting...
Shall have a session on night driving soon.
To have an experience to it before TP.

I target to get my driving license before Nov.
And hopefully by then, it will be me doing the driving,
bringing my boy out during our anniversary.

Appreciate all the motivation and encouragement from friends, boy, sister, and some of the instructors.
All the way, to my license..

:)
