Handmade present from Liz

2009 Bday Cupcakes by Liz


"Jack Hapi Bday" with my mini face and cake. Yes!! These are cupcakes. I didnt expect that from liz. Furthermore, her right hand is still on cast. Can imagine she required double the effort to do the bakery. Really appreciate it =) Over so many years, this is one of the best present i ever received from her.

First time i rcved handmade cupcakes as present! Thanks!! Loved it very much.

I have also received photos from liz. These photos were taken on 21st Aug 1999... TEN YEARS AGO!!! Gosh!!! Looking at it brings me back to that moment of happiness =)
Too bad. I do not own any scanner. MIGHT post it one day... Haaa too retro le =)

Thanks again Liz!

Longest Bday Cel 2009

This year is very different from the past. I never expect my bday celebration to be so long. All thanks to gf =)

On Saturday morning, dear gave me a surprise at her house. She cooked cha soba and gyoza. No wrong, she really cooked it herself =) She even went to pick the required plate, chopsticks etc for this day. Unexpected, esp from her. Oh yeah, she and her sis bought me 3 tees!! Gosh!! Thats my gf... one present is never enough... I am happy and heartbroken as well... dear u spent way too much le wor!! Nevertheless, dear, THANKS!!

Thats not the end!! We went to catch "Up" in the evening. Its really good, IMO. I was touched. Somehow i feel its not totally suitable for children, esp the first 15 mins. I would rec this show to all my friends!!

Next day, National Day, is also our 4 years 2 months anniversary! lol. We plan to celebrate our bdays, anniversary and National day! Went to Sentosa for "Song of the Sea". That will be in the evening. In the meantime, we went to some places that we missed in past visits.

While on the beach, dear stopped and called me. "Is that adrain?" Haaa yes he is!! I took a pic with him =) My first encounter with a star on this beach. Haaa sorry to disturb him and thanks for taking pic with me =) Went to the hanging bridge to take more pics and enjoy the wind, sea and sun. Weird. Today seems to be "Indian" and "Mainlanders" day. Saw plenty of them.

Next we went to have fun at sky ride and ludge. Never knew dear was so afraid taking sky ride. Can see from the pic on how she grabs my tee!! Another new sky ludge pic into our collection! No pic to show as no scanner =(

"The Flying Trapeze" was the last we had before the main event. Dear, having frights from the ride, wasn't ready to do this. Left me... Paid 10 bucks for 1 try. It wasnt that difficult putting my legs on the bar. Instead the difficulty for me was releasing my hands and swing upside down. Though i did it in the end, it wasn't that good... Overall: Fun!! Exp as well...

Our main event!! Song of the sea!! Somehow i wasnt very impressed. Its not that bad, not that fantastic. The story was bored. The music was okay. The effects were not that bad. At least got mini fireworks. Quite liked the effects during the end though. IMO, its worth to have at least one experience with ur loved ones. Great memories!

Surprise again! Last sunday, while i was bathing, dear prep a small cake and left it on the desk waiting for me. It was banana choc cake. Loved it very much, esp with the bananas. Wasnt too sweet. Whole family loved it as well =)

This year's celebration was way longer than any past years. All thanks to Dear. Love you =)
So whats left? Awaiting for Actual day!! =)
This is the album, bare minimum. Way too much to upload...

Awaiting List

Awaiting list in descending order of event date
1. ROM (02-01-2010)
2. Trial on ROM gown and suit (Dec)
3. Green light from RSAF (Dec)
4. Getting Balloons (Dec)
5. File for Marriage (Nov)
6. Getting a Solemniser (Oct)
7. Ballot Result for Punggol Residences (Sept)
8. CC (Aug)
9. Invitation card (Aug)

I rem ming always said these words in camp, "Rush to Wait, Wait to Rush". Yeah i m in such situation now. Dear and i have been trying hard to settle our ROM since June. We wish to clear all the preparations asap. Unfortunately and unexpectedly, we can only wait. I supposed planning 6 months ahead may be too early.

The most anxious waiting item will be the result of the ballot of Punggol Residences. Within 2 weeks, we had to make a decision on bidding. Its consider a rush for us as owning a home isn't in any of our plans yet. Yes.. now have to wait till Sept for the result. PRAY!!!

On this day, 5th August, the no. of applicants over 4 room units would be 2540:615. This also mean over 4.13 applicants, only 1 would get the unit. Pray i would be that "1". Haaa does this sound familiar? It has been my msn nick for these few days!

One less to worry - Invitation card is ready!! All thanks to jason for helping me =)
Will be posting it and the map on my blog!
