Day 5 in MEL: BANG!

I didn’t do much today (5th day)…but I lay in bed resting most of the time. The plan today was to go to the POST with sis to mail her card and my postcards to my pen pals. After that we would go to the mall, Myer but those didn’t take place at all. Something happened today…to me.

I got knocked down by a car. How did it happen? We were walking along the path way and saw the green man so we quickly cross the pedestrian crossing. It just happened; I turned and saw the red car hitting me. It hit me right leg and I sort of fell and the next thing I knew, I was lying on the road and sis ran towards me. I sat up and my legs sort of felt tingly but I was able to move them. The driver stopped and I sat by the path. Sis was shocked to see me head bleeding. I didn’t know I was bleeding that much. Another white car came and stopped. They offered to drive me to the hospital but they were nice enough to call for an ambulance and it came. The paramedics came, he attended to me, and he checked my wound on my head. He said I didn’t have to have any stitches and it was just some scratch.

The lady, who knocked me down, offered to drive us back to the apartment but we didn’t accept it coz we live nearby. We walked back and I rested. Sis took my scarf off and I saw it had a lot of blood on it. I looked into the mirror and saw my left side of the jaw was stained with blood. My turtleneck top had a little stain but when I lifted it up…YIKES! My white sport bra was like stained with a lot.

Well…it is a blessing that I’m alive and fine. No nausea and puking so I’m fine just that my wound hurts and my right leg aching at times. I couldn’t believe that I got knocked down by a car! Well…sis said I was brave, I didn’t want to cry but automatically tears just trickled down. My parents mustn’t know about this. Doesn’t it suck when I’m bleeding at the bottom (period) and now I bled on top too? Lol…

URGH…my glasses is GONE! It is broken, missing the other leg and now I got to get a new pair. You know I think that Melbourne is really unlucky for the Yeos. Ever since sis got here, she has been having problems nearly every week and when I came to visit Day1, 2, 3 and 5 I already have problems. Today is Day 5 just for your information.

I just hope by 17th June I’ll be in one piece when I return to SG.

I haven’t showered yet coz I’m afraid to see the stain. Well…I got to anyway…

I was supposed to prepare dinner today but I didn’t. Instead, sis did and it was delicious :D We had steak and she only marinated it with just salt and pepper. She also made mashed potato with some milk, salt and pepper. She made salad too, with lettuce, tomatoes, apples, ham and some lemon juice, water and sugar. Oh yeah and she fried an egg for each one of us. Yum yum…and then we had tea hehehehe. I’m lucky to have a caring sis.


TAKE CARE!

VEEL PLEZIER!

Day 4 in MEL: Slacking In

Last night was freaking cold and I was shaking through the night. I did manage to sleep but I kept waking up coz of the coldness. Sis woke and was doing her work as for me, I continued to sleep until then I woke and then she asked if I would like to sleep on her bed and I did. Slept till 12:35PM and then showered and she left soon after that to get to school to meet up with her mates and tutor.

I logged onto her com and then I got online…waited for people to come talk to me but it wasn’t much then I felt tired. I actually was planning to continue the point form of my story and plan for tomorrow but I didn’t. Instead I fell asleep on the chair and then went to the bed to sleep. No idea why I was THAT tired. Anyway…I kept waking up in the middle to check if I got any messages from anyone and also checking whether it was 5 plus to prepare dinner for us. Yup, today was my turn to cook since sis had been doing it for the past two days.

Guess who mess me? :D It was…MR BERENDSEN! Ahhhh…so happy and glad to see him. I was missing him too apart from Eric. I prepared dinner and talked to him until sis got home and I was about to cut the onion thus, I told sis to tell him that I wish him all the best in his Dutch paper. I wish to talk to him now…but he is having dinner and sis is busy using her laptop to do work so yup, I’m doing blog on my laptop and then post it tomorrow when the laptop is FREE for me to access :D. Well, hopefully that is…

Erm…after dinner, we had tea…sis had Earl Grey and usual, me Peppermint. We’re like having tea every day. Hmm…after that I read Tall Guy’s stories and finished them. I’d read them all before except Catgirl. After his stories, I started to continue the point form story…I got to have the structure before I could really start on it, right?

Pretty much you can see I didn’t get to go out on Day 4 and as for Day 5, I don’t know what I have planned for it…I’ll just see about it.

TAKE CARE!

Veel plezier!


Christine.

PS: To Jeran - Yes, I would like Bilin's addy and hopefully it is in the city.
To Rong - Yes, 'Malaysia' is VERY far and VERY cold but thanz for reading me bloggy.

Day 3 in MEL: To the Beach and Flames

Well, this is what I’d done today…I slept about 4 plus in the morning and then I woke about 9 plus to have my shower. For breakfast was just a slice of whole meal wheat bread with a slice of cheese.

We sat in a train to head towards Camberwell where there was a flea market. Wow, in the train I saw many buildings had been vandalized by graffiti. It was alright, the whole car park was having it till 1PM. Sis bought some clothes but I didn’t get anything coz I didn’t fancy much of the stuffs there. The things there were nice to see but nothing much which I would like to get. Next, we sat on the train and headed back to the city where we’d stopped at Flinders Street Station and took the tram down to St Kilda’s beach. Wow…lotz of shops and food…many varieties and the pastry cake shops were all classic sort. They displayed their wonderful beautiful cakes…yum yum. Before we popped into one of the cake shops, we went to a fish shop, they had displayed all the seafood stuff, we had the Fisherman’s Basket which sis and I shared. We had it as take away where we could sit at the grassy patch watching the sea. It was nice, we were surrounded by seagulls and I did take some pictures of them. There was one injured seagull as he only had one leg.

After that, we walked back to the shops and we went to ‘Le Bon Cake Shop’ where sis and I sat in a corner. We shared a slice of mango cheesecake, it was alright; I guess I was pretty full thatz why I didn’t really fancy it. I had iced strawberry...it was SO sweet but sis had cappuccino.

We headed back to the city by tram. Well, we stopped at the City Bath and walked back to the apartment. While she was on her com, I slept…for roughly 2 hours until sis got out from the shower then I started to shower. Had dinner, sis cooked again…we had the same as yesterday’s dinner. Anyway, she said tomorrow we’re going to have pasta and she said that it is my turn to cook for her.

Today, I managed to catch the 11PM fire display. Well, you must be wondering what it is about. They have these tall structure things along the walk way of Crown Hotel and at 9, 10 and 11PM they would be on display for certain time. At first the flames were small and then it got bigger and bigger. Wow, when it got bigger, I could feel the heat hitting onto my cheeks even when the flames were up high. My cheeks were feeling chilly coz of the cold air, it is 7 C tonight.

We waited long for the tram to return to the City Bath and it was FREAKING cold. Sis couldn’t take it…I was just trying to withstand it. Oddly, I don’t really see cats on the streets here…and funny to see birds (seagull) at night coz in SG, we do see cats around especially flats area and we don’t see birds at night. Sis doesn’t really like here because life isn’t smooth sailing for her, every week she has problems cropping up and the transportation here sucks a lot because we have to wait a long long time before it arrived or at times, the train would be cancelled or stopped halfway of the tracks and told everyone to board off when it actually hadn’t finished its route. That was what she had told me.

Each day I had a little disruption of me plan…first day, it was the City Circle Tram which didn’t complete its route and told everyone to board-off. It was the last tram…and it was free for visitors but the locals could take it too. Well, yesterday it was the fire display whereby we couldn’t sit outside to view. Today, the train we waited for was cancelled and thus we got to wait for the next one to arrive. Hopefully no more disruptions lol…well, they’re mini ones so no harm done : )

Well, I don’t have any plans tomorrow but sis won’t be hanging out with me because she’ll be really busy, she has to meet her classmates at 1 and the teach at 4PM so pretty much, I could be online or out walking about and snapping pics and probably shopping. I’ll see about it :D

Take care !

Veel plezier.

Day 2 in MEL: Out on the streets

Woke up about 11 plus in the morning, had my shower and then had cereal + slices of bananas with milk. Prepare the dumpling with my sis and once we were done, we got changed and were ready to head out. Sis was meeting her project mates at 3PM but she went out with me about 1 plus close to 2, she was looking for a card for her tutor. Well, I went to TARGET and got meself a pair of boy short undie. It is blue...and have wordings on the front and back. It cost AUS 7.99

It was my first time walking on the streets of Melbourne alone as sis had to rushed to school to meet her mates. They had to discuss about the project. Well...I didn't dare to wander about too far without studying the map thus, after walking for a certain distance (walked to St John's church, it was remarkable but haven't snapped any pics of it) I'd decided to return and get online. Hmm...talked to Shalini through the day and started on my story.

Sis returned at about 6 plus and started to cook dinner. She pan-fried certain dumplings and boiled some of them in soup that contained some veg too. It was a marvelous yet simple meal. Hmm...after dinner, I was doing something but couldn't remember what...OH yeah, I remember now. I was doing the dishes...

Well, I rested for awhile and then at 9PM we set off to Southbank where the Crown Hotel is. We walked all the way from Earl Street to Yarra River there. Quite a distance but it was pretty fine. Went to Cafe Graco coz sis said at 9, 10 and 11PM they would have some fire display. The funny thing was, before the tower where those flames come out, those birdies would be there so when the towers are there, they didn't know thus most of them got...er...roasted. Roasted seagulls.

At the cafe, we sat at the bar and ordered Strawberry Cheesecake, Mars Bar Cake, and for drinks we had Hot Chocolate (mine) and Cuppucino (sis'). It was alright...the price came up to AUS 23+ so not too bad. We walked back to the apartment...it was pretty fine.

When we returned, talked to mom and dad on Skype coz they'd been waiting for us to return. Pretty much, tomorrow we're going to SKYPE again! *Sigh...* Itz OK...I hope my parents and the two rascals at home are doing fine. Mom said that White was sent to the groomer and now he looks handsome. *Rolling eyes back* OK...if White is handsome then Owen is dashing and charming. Muahahahahaha...

Tomorrow we have plans again...so I'll keep you updated on whatz on in OZ for me...hehehehe

TAKE CARE!

Veel plezier!


Christine.

NOTE: All time set is at Melbourne time which is 2 hours ahead of SG's and 8 hours ahead of NDL.

Day 1 in MEL: My flight

Hmm...I'M IN MELBOURNE NOW! Well, it doesn't feel like Melbourne though. The flight was OK...rather dull but I did talk to the people next to me. Qantas urghhh...SO cramp! Not bad there were games for us (passengers) to play and watch but I didn't use my headphones for the entire journey.

The flight food was OK, nothing special...nothing great not reallyt that good. Wow...Melbourne roads just makes me feel like I'm in SG. I don't know...I don't feel like I'm in OZ but I AM!

OK, our plan for today:
-Victoria Market
-Breakfast @ Victoria Market
-Return to rest
-Walk around town
-Safe Way to do grocery shopping

I arrived Melbourne airport about 5 plus in the morning (MEL time) which is like 3 plus in SG. I reached sis’ apartment at 6AM (4AM SG time).

Went to Victoria Market today with sis and she bought herself a hotdog. I didn’t have any appetite. I guess thatz an after-sickness flight. I remember when I went to Orlando, Florida I didn’t have any appetite after my flight and I had too much gas.

Oh well, the market was nice…lotz of meat and VERY neat and CLEAN compare to SG’s Chinatown Wet Market or any other wet markets in SG. Well, I got a white scarf for myself and sis got a checkered scarf too. AUS 10 for two which is cheap as each cost AUS 6. After that we went marketing for food and returned to the apartment. URGH…the aardbei prices has gone up! I was actually planning to buy many many many boxes of strawberries! What a disappointment.

Oh well, after we had put the food, I did the shelling of the prawns. I had a slight rash after that but am fine now. About 12 plus (10 plus AM in SG) I started to feel tired…yeah I think I didn’t sleep for 22 hours I think. I napped for roughly two hours as sis vacuumed her room and did her work.

After I woke, we headed for Chinatown in Melbourne…it was OK, nothing that cina. Well, I got mom’s NS-8 moisturising cream and my friend’s 2 bottles of emu oil cream. He owes me AUS 10 now…

Well, after that we head to Safe Way to get cereal, milk, tea (peppermint muahahaha), tomatoes and spaghetti. Hmm…before that we went to The Reject Shop where they had some stuffs…I got two cards from there. Erm…we headed back to the apartment again and place the food.

We headed out again to get to the City Circle Tram which was the only free ride around Melbourne. It was just the small portion round the town and NOT the whole of Melbourne. It didn’t complete its ride though so we had to board off somewhere…facing St. Vincent’s Children Hospital. We walked all the way back to Chinatown and sis was trying to find the Shanghai Dumpling restaurant as she said the noodles and the Wo Tie are good there. Well, the noodles was good BUT the Wo Tie was nothing special or great as I found SG’s Wo Tie better that mom got it from Chinatown. Anyway, I got to say this; it was a cheap meal for the two of us as it only cost us AUS 12.30

By the way, the taxi fare cost from airport to UniLodge (sis' apartment) cost about AUS 40.40 I think…about there. I still have other places where I would like to visit and snap some pics. Hehehehe sadly to say, my face isn’t there but only places. I promise to have my freaking face there. I guess I’ll have to plan for tomorrow. After dinner, we got home…and thatz about it and now I’m doing this.

It sucks when my period arrived a day before my trip flight. Sucks, doesn’t it? Well, I’ve been missing the internet and mess. I wonder howz Tall Guy's Management & Organisation paper? I think he should be able to handle it. No need to worry for Eelco coz I know this guy is smart and is able to handle any paper without a problem. I doubt none of the Dutch guys miss me lol…or am I wrong? By the way, I saw the word ‘Coburg’ somewhere :D which is nice so I had a snapped of the sign. Erm…gosh I’m starting to feel tired. It is only 6:18PM in SG now but now in MEL it is 8:18PM. Well, it got dark really early about 5 plus in Melbourne (3 plus in SG, bright and sunny unless rainy).

Anyway, thatz about it for DAY 1 in Melbourne and now we left 21 more days in Melbourne. We’re planning to watch The Incredibles once I’m done posting the bloggy and emailing to some people.

TAKE CARE!

VEEL PLEZIER!

Guus Meeuwis - Geef Mij Nu Je Angst (translated by Eelco)

Geef Mij Ne Je Angst (Give Me Your Fear)

je zegt ik ben vrij maar jij bedoelt ik ben zo eenzaam
You say: “I am free”, but you mean: “I’m so lonely”
je voelt je te gek zeg jij maar ik zit niet te dromen
You say you feel great, but I’m not dreaming
want die blikken in je ogen zeggen alles tegen mij
Because this look in your eyes tell me everything
Ik voel me precies als jij en jij kan eerlijk zijn.
I feel the same way like you and you can be honest.

Je voelt je heel goed zeg jij je moet, begint te trillen
You feel great, you say, you have to, you start shaking
ik weet dat ik jou kan helpen maar je moet zelf willen.
I know that I can help you but you have to want it yourself
elkaar nu een dienst bewijzen dat is alles wat ik vraag
Help each other out, that all I ask
zet weg nu die angst ik wist het al: het is mijn dag vandaag.
Get rid of that fear, I knew: it’s my day, today.

geef mij nu je angst ik geef je er hoop voor terug.
Give me your fear, I’ll give you hope in return
Geef mij nu de nacht ik geef je hem morgen terug.
Give me the night, I’ll give you the morning in return
zolang ik je niet verlies vind ik heus wel een weg met jou.
As long as I don’t lose you, I’m sure we’ll find a way for you.

Kijk mij nu eens aan en zeg maar niks je mag best zwijgen.
Look at me, don’t say anything, you can remain silent
Het valt nu nog zwaar maar ik weet dat ik jou kan krijgen.
It’s hard for me, still, but I know that I can have you
Dit hoeft nooit meer te gebeuren als je bij me blijft vannacht.
This doesn’t have to happen again if you stay with me tonight
Want dan zul je zien als je straks wakker wordt dat jij weer lacht.
Because you shall see: if you wake up, you’ll laugh.

Geef mij het gevoel dat ik er weer bij hoor voortaan.
Give me the feeling that I’m part of it from now on
Ik ga met je mee en ik laat je nu nooit meer gaan
I’m going with you, and I’ll never let you go.

geef mij nu je angst ik geef je er hoop voor terug.
Give me your fear, I’ll give you hope in return
Geef mij nu de nacht ik geef je hem morgen terug.
Give me the night, I’ll give you the morning in return
zolang ik je niet verlies vind ik heus wel een weg met jou.
As long as I don’t lose you, I’m sure we’ll find a way for you.

Geef mij het gevoel dat ik er weer bij hoor voortaan.
Give me the feeling that I’m part of it from now on
Ik ga met je mee en ik laat je nu nooit meer gaan
I’m going with you, and I’ll never let you go.

geef mij nu je angst ik geef je er hoop voor terug.
Give me your fear, I’ll give you hope in return
Geef mij nu de nacht ik geef je hem morgen terug.
Give me the night, I’ll give you the morning in return
zolang ik je niet verlies vind ik heus wel een weg met jou.
As long as I don’t lose you, I’m sure we’ll find a way for you.

For The Girls

My my...girls what have you gotten yourself into? You've gotten yourself into a little crushy...Very well, you like a guy but the problem is YOU'RE TOO SHY or YOU JUST DON'T KNOW HOW. If not maybe both.

OH ME OH MY, just tell me what to do with you? Girl, if you're too shy then it is time to get your friends to play along with you. Get to know how the guy is like and his character. If you're so shy, leave a little note that a girl is interested in him...play around with him. In your first little note, do not reveal who you are. After a first few with hints given on each note to let him guess who you are. You got to see how his expression is like whenever he sees that note. If he crushes the paper or couldn't seem to bother then either he isn't really interested in this OR try on for the next plan. PLUCKING UP THE COURAGE.

I don't know but so far I haven't fallen for any guy in my world/country/ home...mostly it is just online. Well, it is easy to tell someone that you like him online (and I really do, I don't know how this really work but it is that way). OH this gives me an idea, if you have that dude on any of your mess. list, just talk to him and tell him how you feel and then tell him that you would like to discuss it in school face to face. Or do it on the phone starting out with a normal conversation but do not beat round the bush asking Qs. Just have fun talking about childhood or something then after that, you pop the Q, 'Would you like to go out with me?' Nah...it isn't cliche but hey, worth a try. Just like what I'd told the guys...you either try or you regret knowing and keep wondering. I mean if you don't try and even if the guy rejects you probably there will be a reason to it plus if he rejected you in not a nice way, blez you to know what he really is like.

It could be fun and fine too so don't really worry and cool it. You know the world is changing and now mostly girls are doing what the guys are doing. I wouldn't be surprised that girls are proposing to guys and girls earning more than the guys et cetera. JUST GO FOR IT! Even though the traditional/stereotypical mind of mine prefers the guy to make the first move and such. If nothing is working, then girl...it is your time and turn to make this work and let him notice you but if he hasn't noticed you : ( sorry but seriously he isn't the type. Even if you change your style to his likings just to get his attention, girl...don't punish yourself and suffer for him. It isn't worth it. You can't keep doing this until you die old. You want to be happy with the guy whom you LOVE and not just some infatuation. Sometimes you wouldn't be sure whether is it love or infatuation. Well seriously, you don't just go by your view and how you treat the person but you ALSO see how the guy treats and feels about you.

Thatz all I have to say. You can disagree with me but please do not hold and grudges with me if any of the plan fails. You could ask friends for opinion though at times but I can't guarantee that they're always 100% right.

Take care!

Veel Plezier!


Christine.

For The Guys (some)

Hello Guys...Well generally, this is meant for those SHY GUYS WHO ARE AFRAID TO ASK THE GIRL WHOM HE LIKES WHETHER SHE IS INTERESTED IN HIM! So...if you already have gotten yourself a girl please exit this bloggy hehehe.

Hmm...you just EITHER don't have the guts to ask OR you don't know how to ask. Either one of those are your reason to why YOU haven't asked her. You hate to wonder...I know that but you're going to keep wondering until one day IF you're LUCKY she approaches you and made the first move blah blah blah OR you could be UNlucky that someone approached her. You figure that one out yourself.

One thing...you got to ask yourself these two questions, 'DO I WANT TO BE SINGLE THROUGHOUT MY LIFE?' and 'WILL I EVER REGRET IN FUTURE IF I NEVER GOT TO KNOW THE ANSWER OR EVEN TRY?' You know if you don't ask, you're going to end up one day regretting and thinking how it would have been if that guy was you. It could have ended happy or sad ending but at least you wouldn't have to wonder.

Simply look at me, I accepted Tieme and I didn't really have to wonder how it would be like if I didn't accept him. He broke off with me and that was a good thing that I got to know how he was really like. I think you may not really understand what I'm on about. What I'm trying to say is, you should take the guts to know, whether the two of you are meant to be or not. Like you're missing a chance when the girl is a GREAT one; if only you were with her.

If you're afraid or something like that, just have a tune in your head that you're comfortable with, fast beat...cool funky beat, whatever it is just have it and have it while you're walking towards her and then once you're facing her, imagine her to be some manequin and say this, 'I have something to tell you but I hope you won't feel awkward. I just need to really know as I couldn't feel comfortable without knowing. I like you and I would really like to know whether you're interested in me.' It is always best to do in person instead of having a middle person coz it is much sincere and such and not too cold...if you know what I mean. It gives better impression. Just simply ask her out to a movie or meal or drink or walk. JUST THE TWO OF YOU...no other friends coz those will be a distraction.

Well, don't come crying to anyone if you'd lost her...as you just let your chance go when there was one or a few times. I know some of you rather save friendship than ruining it. You fear that if you asked, it might make her feel awkward...so be it but itz OK, the two of you could still be friends if you got rejected. I mean FOR A MOMENT, the both of you will feel weird but after a while...it will be OK. I don't know about me...but I'm a little annoyed by all of this. You want to know why? You guys (some) are behaving like girls in a way. When a girl likes a guy she's a little shy and afraid to ask...now the guys (some) are becoming whimps. Itz OK...just too much estrogen in you than testosterone. Sorry...I know I am insulting you guys (some) but eh, just need some wake up there. Either you regret or don't...itz up to you. Think it over carefully.

NOTE: Do not hold any grudges or discrepancies on the author. She is just stating whatever her brain tells her to. Just treat this as a fun fun reading thing.

TAKE CARE!

VEEL PLEZIER!

PS: I'll do about the girls next time...

Bonding

K...yesterday I got to bond with mom for some time just by making an origami bookmark. Trying to figure out how sis did it. We got to make one for her leaving colleague. Well, sis had borrowed the book the other time that was how she did it.

It was OK, I can't complain but was something worthwhile I would say. She said we could do more this weekend...make some for me friends which is cool : )

Thatz all I wanna state coz it has been a long time since I felt this way.


TAKE CARE!

VEEL PLEZIER!


CHRISTINE.

PUKEY DAY!

Yuck yuck...it's another Squander's Day. You got that right, it is Mother's Day. I am not in the mood today. I'm grouchy; grumpy; bitchy; moody; lethargic, sloppy and whiney. I became rather selfish and only self-centred. Thinking about myself and not others and really quiet and not bothered by whatever was happening to me today.

I was in a bad mood. It is like, 'Price me and you're dead' that was how I felt...I could simply shout and bash anyone up. I hate Mother's Day...one of the MOST ONZIN days ever and REDUNDANT but to only make LOTZ of $$$. CRAP IT!

We dined at Swensen's (the service and food SUCKS at Suntec City) and then got some stuff blah blah blah, I am not in the mood to go into details.

I am in the worse mood coz I think the reason to it was not enough sleep.

TAKE CARE!

VEEL PLEZIER!


Christine.

PS: Tell me, how can a guy fall or like a girl like me? I'll drive him crazy whenever I behave this way. Truthfully, I feel really bad after that when I think of my behavior and then that will add it in even more. YIKES!

TRICKED AGAIN!

Yes...I got TRICKED AGAIN by Tall Guy : (

FIVE TIMES and now...it is SIX TIMES!
1. Nose bleed (via web cam, covering his nose)
2. Falling back (leaning so back)
3. Tattoo (simply told me that he was planning to get a tattoo on the day itself)
4. Dying hair jet black (same as the Tattoo)
5. Volume (just sent me a song, 'Moondance' and telling me that it was soft so he adviced that I had to get volume up in the beginning but truly he wanted to make my heart jumped for that unexpected fast beat)
6. Incomplete story (Telling me the story, 'Claw of the Dragon' and ended it quickly but truly he hadn't finished telling! In fact there was more in the story)

*Sigh...* Too trusting and believing him always thatz why I always fall for his tricks. Anyway they're harmless tricks so it is OK : )

Take care!

Veel plezier.

Christine.

Just for the girls but guys could join in (if they want)

Well, I'm really bored now so doing something weird but HEY you too could join in if you want to! So far, my bloggy has always been something that had happened (diary) and never to let you people have a thought so now, I'd decided to touch on...

MY IDEAL WEDDING! Now now, don't you go laughing about it like I said you could join in and think about how you would like yours to be like OR simply read what I have to say; if not SCRAM! Hehehe am kidding...I meant you could just skipped the blog.

OK, here goes...I know many of you would be thinking about it since you were really young. Thinking about WHEN and WHERE you'd like to get married and HOW old you should be marrying. Moreover how exactly it should be like...The Dream Wedding.

Marriage is one BIG thing and truly you DON'T want to forget. Making sure that this WILL be the ONLY marriage. Make sure you wed the right person OK? Like is the person patient? Understanding? Caring? Able to put you first before his/her own? Love you for who you are and never to tell you how you should be like? If a guy/girl waits for you...25% he or she is the one for you. Anyway, my point is not about this, ja?

Well well, first is...picking the right time to wed. Would it be Spring? Summer? Autumn? Winter? January; February; June; August; December et cetera...? Think carefully as you should know...the date is ALSO something important that the BOTH of you DO NOT want to forget, isn't that right?

OK, so you got that down right and now it is TIME to settle the ceremony, gowns blah blah blah...I know some of you ideally have the type of gown in mind. Some would like to be creative and design your own blah blah blah...Make sure you get the good ones and not too pricey. Question is, do you want to keep the gown? Well, some would like to keep for memory sake and erm as a heirloom? There are so many types of gown, the Medieval sort, princess type, the A type, lacey, colour blah blah blah...think carefully but I just have a little advice for those on the plump side to go for something slimmer. As in, DO NOT pick the 'pom pom' sort like the 'King and I'...her dress was puffy sort. It'll simply make you look even FATTER but if you don't wish to take this hint, by all means do all you like :D coz your wedding day is what you want to be PURRRRRRFECT (perfect). If you're planning to create your own gown but no idea how you should go about, you could check out the website for wedding gowns and check out some of the designs. Designers wedding gowns - you can check that out by typing that in your search engine and I fancy Christos Bridal gowns.

Hmm...OK, so you got your gown done and how you want your hair to be like. Down? Bunned? Blah blah blah...Do you want a lacy veil? Your shoes, should it be high or short? DO NOT PICK too HIGH, you're just going to KILL youself with that as in suffer. It is just for one happy day and you don't want it to be one painful day instead, would you? Besides...who will look at your shoes if your gown is going to be full length and blocking your shoes.

Next, flowers...would you like erm...tropical sort? Bouquet rounded sort or the simple flower with long stem? The colours and such...it all goes with your taste. OK...your car could be a poshy sort, or carriage or vintage et cetera up to you decide as long as you have $$$. You do know that DREAM WEDDINGS cost A LOT! Banquet how do you want it to be? In the hotel ballroom? Gardens? Mansion? Void deck of some building? It's all up to you on how you want it to be and your BUDGET! The food, could be buffet? Do you want waiters and waitresses? Do you want a band there? By the way, guys' suit should be a match and GIRLS could help to pick in it plus it would be nice if guys give opinion to their girls' gown. OK back to planning and do think and consider WHO you are inviting coz you know MORE mouths mean more $$$ and you want it to be one happy moment and not one CAT or DOG fight moment.

Your make-up, would you like the latest trend? Would you like it heavy - dark or light and simple? I would go for simplicity and light. Oh well, it must have seemed like I'm a bore and DO NOT forget to have photography session. Guestbook too especially when they come for the ceremony or banquet. K...now, I shall tell you about mine...If you find it a bore, you can leave now before you start sleeping in the middle of it.

Well, actually I had in plan to wed on 12th December 2012 but I don't mind any dates earlier or later, whatsoever. Not really important but hehehe I like the nummer 12, ja! I would like to have my gown to be either White or Cream and rather simple and lacey sort. I wouldn't mind having a train or not but would be nice to have a low back. I would like my husband's hand to be there and feel his touch. *Blushes* I would like him to give me his opinion on the type of gown. Anyway, pretty much...when I walk down the aisle, I don't want the same old boring wedding tune. A song which I already had in mind and that would be, 'Here, There and Everywhere' by the Beatles. Someone could play it on the piano...hopefully if I have a friend who could play that! Hehehe...hair all bunned up and PROBABLY have a huge WHITE flower at the side of my head/bun and a lacey veil over. My flowers would be simple; just white flowers and preferably daisies. They do have that sweet and simple look, don't they? Walking down...all I could imagine is him, looking at me and smiling at me When I reach to the point whereby I stand right before him and looking into his eyes, that would be a wonderful feeling. After exchanging vows, we could walk down and get into a vintage car hehehe or a nice horse carriage. Fancy, yeah...I know but it isn't really necessary :p Of course before the ceremony, there will be a guestbook near the entry whereby the guests could write whatever they want/like.

OK, I could hold my wedding ceremony in a church or in the gardens of a HUGE mansion whereby it makes it easier for EVERYONE to proceed to the banquet. Anyway, the banquet would be the buffet style and I would like it in the garden but if the weather is SUCKY, we shall hold it indoor of the mansion or some building hehehe. Well, there shall be a band and dance floor and LOTZ and LOTZ and LOTZ of balloons on the open field where the kids could play and 'drown' themselves in the balloons. No one has the fix spot to sit with who, so they're free to minger about and sit anywhere they like. There's no restriction or whatsoever, just simply enjoy yourself. Oh centrepiece of the table would be a huge cylindrical or block of white candle burning in a glass bottle. Around the glass bottle base would be decorated with dark dark red rose (the woody stem sort). Cloth of the tables would be silver/metalic dark grey sort...

That was one posh wedding idea but now we could go simple and budget sort. Invite those to your church wedding ceremony and no need to make it a HOO-HA sort and your gown could be one white simple and sweet dress. You could go naked if you want if you're really on budget. Hehehe...am kidding. Well...borrow any car (nice one) from one of your close friends to ferry about. Banquet, I would simply change into something simple but yet elegant dress (not usually how I would wear to a picnic but sheesh, it is my wedding so, ja!) and only close ones are invited to this feast. Itz a PICNIC AFFAIR! Well, this is a D.I.Y. feast, days before I would have some close friends to help me out to get a few cheap cheap baskets and make our own food before the day. Distribute the food into the baskets and each basket would contain a really cheap bottle of wine. Do let friends know that it is a picnic so they could bring their own mats. So you know, some come in couple so they have one basket and some individual will receive a smaller basket and maybe just a bottle of beer, depending on preference choice. There, simple wedding feast and private too. I like that choice though coz it is pretty simple and not a BIG group but yet the poshy type is nice. ANYWAY, it all depends on BUDGET and my happiness to be with my love one.

Weddings...it is all up to the both of you how you want it to be. If your guy isn't interested in giving much of a hand, do let those close ones to help you and doesn't mean he doesn't have to care. REMIND him that, it is for the TWO of you and that HE was the one who wanted your hand in marriage. Do not take it too rush and stress but relax and enjoy every bit of it. Oh yes, never make your wedding date too close to your planning, itz going to be rushing, trust me. I'm not sure whether you should hire a wedding planner...maybe you could compare prices and your D.I.Y. with help from friends.

Think carefully of how you want it to be. Hehehe, I'm always having a back-up plan just incase I don't get the Oh High and Classy type. Just don't rush into everything and make sure you choose the RIGHT person! That's the most important thing in LIFE!

Take care and thanz for reading this boring bloggy. Could leave comments if you would like to.

Veel plezier.

About the TWO days of this week...

TUESDAY, 3rd MAY 2005
Great, I'd totally forgot to talk about my Dad's birthday! YIKES! Well, I'm a very very bad daughter who had gotten nothing for her dad. Hmm...OK, whole day...was normal, online slacking and such. Parents went to get the cake, it was Blackforest Cake from Sweet Secrets. DELICIOUS!

OK, dinner was at Hua Ting Restaurant at Orchard Hotel. The six-course meal was pretty good. First was one fried scallop with one fried prawn; second was sharkfins in spinach sauce (got to put vinegar plus the colour was unique hehehe just like the pea soup I did once); third was fishy and it was good; fourth was ducky well...the leg of the duck cooked with black dates and some small xiao bai chai (itz a type of veg); fifth one was starch sheet (something like kuay teow) with crab meat and the sixth was dessert, steam egg with ginger (like custard but DUH have the taste of those two main ingredient). I clipped the food but didn't take pics coz of the flashes by cam. Annoying with it happened for every 6 dishes, if you get what I mean. The meal cost about SGD 300++ Well, parents didn't really find anything GREAT about and I do agree...Anyway, the ambience was good so end of story.

Returned home, check the mailbox and SURPRISE SURPRISE! Post from Tall Guy, and I opened in his presence and WOW WOW WEE...It was a red file containing all his stories (not exactly all because his erm, Nature's Pearl and Oracle's Time weren't there. Itz understandable as ink cost A LOT and paper too plus postage cost due to weight) but stories whereby you can find in his story site. Hmm...that package cost him 9.70 Euro to send to me.

FRIDAY, 6th MAY 2005
K, today the weather is good, it RAINED! Well, good thing it rained around 12 plus in the day as I was planning to leave at 3 PM but I left slightly earlier. Anyway, I didn't know the Postman rang the doorbell yesterday at 4:50PM (5th May) as it was raining heavily plus I was in me room. Went to the POST and collected me package, HA! Knew it was from him and recognised the handwriting but I didn't want to open. (It was from Tall Guy) I crossed the road and took bus 123 to IKEA. Oh my, went to IKEA looked around until I got to the QUILT COVER SET area. AHHHHHHHHH! I saw a really nice quilt cover set, reddish orange with white printed flower patterns and it cost SGD 65. Well, as you know me, I can NEVER decide whether to get it and it sucked shopping alone because there is no one to consult/get opinions. Anyway, I saw another quilt cover set and it was just simply PLAIN WHITE no patterns whatsoever and that cost SGD 79 (I think..not sure 75 or 79). See...now I have two in mind THEN I saw the reddish orange with white flower patterns with another version. It was royal blue instead of red! See...now I can't decide but I think I'll get red IF I am planning to get. See...three to decide but really I don't know whether to get.

Maybe if I go out with my parents, I'll get dad to get the reddish orange one...should I? You know very well how crazy I am over quilt cover sets hehehe. Anyway, my purpose was to get AAA batts and black photo frame for the Wyvern Sketch that I'm sending to Tall Guy as our 1st Year Meeting Anniversary. Hmm...returned home, I logged on and YAY! Tall Guy was on so I opened the package in his presence and AWW...there was the photocopied black and white crumpled paper of Utrecht (not so crumpy as good thing, he put it in plastic sheet) and AHHHH! Mini wooden clog shoes! So sweet and nice, really DUTCHY! I like it. Oh well, I have wrapped his present nicely and will send his stuff on Monday.

Thatz about it, I guess...until the next time.


TAKE CARE!

VEEL PLEZIER!


Christine.

CRAP THIS!

Something is missing in my life...but I don't know what it is.

Feeling disturb and sad now.

I guess I'm missing out in happiness but all I see now is loneliness. As tears trickling down right now. I guess I have finally know what I have been missing out...

I'm neither here nor there. I can't wish to be in the past nor can I wish to be in the future. I'm just lost and so don't bother finding me coz I won't be there.

Do I really have friends? I do...the problem is, for how long? How long does one friendship last actually?

A Poem Written By Eric Coburg

Sleep my love till morning comes,
and dawn kisses the dreams from your eyes,
for even though I am no longer there,
my thoughts are with you still.

In darkness and dreams we share a life-time,
though in waking we are miles away,
the world of the rational holds no sway
over the rhythms of our hearts.

I'll come to you when you close your eyes,
each night as you lay sleeping,
for your soul calls to mine,
and I am bound by my need for you.

Kisses and caresses,
the sweet velvet touches,
soft murmured promises
the language of passion.

The tears and the longing,
the hoping and waiting,
the sweet anticipation till we are together again.

Remember the one who longs for you,
remember me,
for in the darkness I wait for you,
waiting only to be filled
with your sweet dreams.
