    Title : Happy Belated 3.5 years anniversary dardar!
    Time : 11:35 PM

    Hello!
    This post is for my dardar!
    (Others also can read. LOL!!!)

    On the very fateful day 26 June 2004, we became a couple!
    Well.. as for the details, I shall not elaborate. (For those who knows, don't just laugh and tell everyone.)

    Well.. on 26 December 2007, that marks our 3.5 years together..
    I know that its weird, for people to celebrate 0.5 years interval.. but the thing is, we celebrate every month. HAHA!
    Alright..
    Anyway, we went out on this special day.
    Hehee! I am really excited.. Because dardar told me that he had made reservations in one of the restaurant.
    AWWWW.. so sweet.
    HAHA! We got ready ( as quickly as I could.. well.. i need to get changed, make up and look pretty ma.. hehe!) and then before we went out, we took some really beautiful pictures of ourselves. (Haha! I am so thick-skinned.)


    ♥Joan & Wei xiang♥
    ☺Potential Husband and Wife☻


    Look! I am that fat, because he could hide behind me!!
    ♦In actual fact, he's fatter than me. Hee!♦


    Thats my potential Husband. Lols..
    He's my prince charming!
    (Note: This post is dedicated to him, thats why I blog this way. LOL!)



    ♪♫♪♫ Ta-dah! Thats me! ♪♫♪♫

    We are finally out of the house, in the bus!


    Thats me! I'm wearing my hello kitty necklace!


    We're in Ku-shin Bo..
    Thats my first time there!
    This is the reason why my dardar brought me there...


    Its the.. "Paper mini steamboat".
    Thats how I called it..


    Yummy Sushi..



    I'm going to eat...



    OMG! I miss the sushi there...



    Pink sushi!!!!!
    Haha~


    I'm going to eat my pink sushi!!


    Seaweed sushi with some mayo-topping.


    This sushi is really special..
    Because.. We don't know if the octopus is raw or cooked...
    Yuck!


    I'm checking out my soup..
    Thinking..
    Hmm.. Is my mushroom cooked yet?


    Okie.. next.. Raw food!!
    OMG.. I can't stand raw food....!!!


    This is much better..
    Tempura Ebi..
    And my Fav Unagi!!!!
    The unagi is superb!
    Its like.. You can feel that it melt in your mouth at the instance you put in your mouth..
    Mmmm... I want more!



    Teppanyaki! Haha... They taste ok tho. Heehee..



    Buttered Scallop? Ok.. They taste ok..

    Soba soba....

    Dardar is really enjoying soba. Omg..


    Thats more like it!
    Chawanmushi!! I ate 2 of it. LOL!!



    Mmm.... Sweet Tooth. The desserts are yummy yummy~




    I cant really remember what is he holding. LOL!!
    Something yummy I guess. Hehee~


    Clear soup!
    Thats what they called it.
    Its really special! Inside the teapot, theres prawn, mushroom and chicken.
    And the soup, clears your mouth and throat!
    It just makes you wanna eat more other dishes after clearing your mouth. LOL!!


    Gigantic Alaska crabs?
    He likes it. Lol!


    Practically, I had enough of food already, so I am posing for more photos taken. HAHA!

    Right.. Finally he is full. Hehe~

    I was supposed to show that I'm really full..
    But dardar says I looked as if I was still hungry. HAHA!


    Oh Yes! Merry X'mas! Lols..
    X'mas tree outside Raffles City..

    Thats my handsome prince!

    We're going home!

    Thats all folks!

    Well.. I always love the times we spent together.
    I always wished that we could spent more time together..
    Hanging out in the busy road out there..
    Doing things that we want to do..

    Its seemed thats its quite hard..
    Because we have our own commitments..
    No matter what, we will still try our best to spend time together......

    Right!! =)

    Alright..
    I will stop here for today..
    I will be back for more updates!




    Loving you more every second passed..

    Haha.. I know.. Its weird.. But too many things that happened together.. I really cant cope.
    Well.. Just summarize from where my proper blog entry end, alright?

    Well.. yes! 2 december 2007, Standard Chartered Marathon.
    Yes I know.. I am still quite.. not over it.
    Well. practically, I am currently training, preparing for the next year's race.
    Yes, I am going to join the 42km full marathon.
    Dardar you heard me? I didnt make it official to you, but, yah.. you read this, you will know.
    Muahaha~ I am evil. (Whatever..)


    3rd December 2007
    My off day, well.. I need some rest after my marathon right?
    I was afraid that I would have muscle ache here and there, you know.. I didnt really exercise much nowadays.. HAHA!
    Anyway, Dardar and I went to TM and we watched Movie, The Tattooist.
    And we went shopping for X'mas gifts too! Aww.. We are so sweet. HAHA~
    I love him so much.

    I had product training today, and as usual, I will meet up my colleagues and have breakfast together~

    7th December 2007
    Well.. Today I had a day off again. Yes, I know.. My working schedule is so slack for a full timer. HAHA~
    Dardar is having a prize ceremony today, and I am supposed to go and watch him. Yup! He's getting money money money for good results. Lols! So unfair. I wanna study too! Bleah~
    Dardar's family came and pick me up and we went to 千禧楼 for the ceremony.
    Its rather a formal dinner for the Hakkas. Xiang daddy was wearing shirt with tie, xiang mummy was wearing striking pink top, which was similar to all other ladies. I suppose is their clan uniform? I don't know.. HAHA~
    Then, xiang daddy ask me and dardar to go around giving out lucky draw tickets. Haha.. It was fun doing it! hehee!
    During the dinner, there were performance. It was really funny, because they were all singing songs that I have never heard before. Well.. I didnt hear hakka songs before.. Haha~ That was the first time.. Lols..
    After the dinner, we went for supper.
    HAHA! I know! Well.. The dinner is not really filling.. So, we went to eat Ba chou mee at bedok blk 85. Thats my lover's favourite!


    8th december 2007
    I went over to Isetan Tampines to relief for 2 hours, then went back to Taka.

    Well.. My "supposed-to-be" favourite instructor take me today..
    EEEee.. I don't like him anymore.. He's so fierce! Bleah!
    I took my "trial test" today, and failed terribly!
    Nvm, its only a trial test. I wasnt really ready, right?
    Haha.. and my test is on 25/01/2008. I have somemore time isn't it? HAha!
    After driving lesson, daddy and mummy came to fetch me and we went to pray..
    I miss my grandma. I think of her everyday and still can;t accept that she is not with me anymore.
    Sometimes I feel that she was on holiday, and will be back soon. But deep in my heart I know she is not coming back.. Hais..
    I went there and talk to her. but she never reply.. Oh well.. I reply to my own question..
    I know that she told me stuffs in my dreams.. I've already done what she told me to.. I hope she receive the message too.

    After praying, I went to work.. I work OT, for about 3 hours only. HAHA..
    After that, I meet up with dardar!

    And...
    Congratulations to Dardar! For passing his driving!! He's got his driving license! He can drive me around! Wee~


    13th December 2007
    I made some muah chee today, for everyone.
    I even brought some to work, and Lee yan tried, and she said it was nice. But it was a pity that the sugar melted somehow, if not, it would be even better. Muahaha~
    I am proud of the muah chee I had made, because it was something that my grandma had taught me.
    I remembered when I was young, I always tell ah ma to make muah chee for me, cos I simply love it, especially the ones she made. The texture is so chewy yet not sticky, and it just make you wanna have more..
    After she taught me how to make it, I made for her to eat. And she praised me. I was so happy.
    But now, she can't..

    Anyway.. Yup! If there's chance, I will make some for you too! Just tell me when you wanna try. ;)


    14th December 2007
    I cant remember what happened on this date. Haha!


    15th December 2007
    Aww.. I am working full shift today..
    But I was really thrilled and happy. Because Isabelle is coming!!!
    Yup! My lovely niece.. Jane and haoges will be bringing Isabelle to orchard, together with michelle, for shopping!
    OMG.. I can't wait to see her. HAHA!
    I took 2 hours of breaktime, and went to eat at Far east with them. We ate at the newly opened japanese restaurant. the ambience is nice, but the prices are too costly. Its fun, to order food via vending machine, but the prices are not logical. Haha~ Whatever, I think its too expensive.
    Isabelle is such adorable girl. Irresistible~


    16th December 2007

    I had breakfast with xiang's family at parkway.

    Then we went shopping individually. Haha.. We went to find my sister, then we went Isetan to shop. We bought a helicopter for junhao, xiang's cousin, and also.. headbands and rubber bands for Shelby. Oh sweetie!! She's got hair, loads of hair! so I could play with her hair.. HAHA!!
    after that, dardar drove to Ikea, and then xiang mummy drove home. After Ikea, we went to my grandma's house. It has been so long since I see my grandma (my mum's mummy). Haha.. After dinner, dardar left, and we went to watch "The Warlords". Hehee!!

    31th December 2007
    Hoooray! This marks the end of my Vegetarian life. Lols.. But still, I will be having vegetarian meals every 1st and 15th day of the lunar calendar.
    Anyway, I was awakened by the bells.. YES! Its isabelle's bell~ Haha.. I meant her anklet.
    It so fun to play with babies in the morning, yes! especially morning, they are so energetic and will smile to you so often!
    Just say "Good morning" to them, they will show you the most beautiful and innocent smile. that makes your day!
    HAha.. Ya.. To see this kinda smile, you gotta wake up early, at about... 7am? Babies wake up real early. HAha! I played with Isabelle..... She is so adorable!
    After playing, my sister and I got tired, then we fell asleep again, soon after, Isabelle fell asleep too!
    Mummy and daddy came home and woke us up.
    Oh yes! We are supposed to go and pray grandma today.
    So we quickly got changed, mummy cooked breakfast for us, and I was suppose to make Muah chee for grandma. After everything is ready, we set off to the temple.
    I saw my grandma photo.. I stared at it and talk to her for awhile.. I realised in the picture, she looked really peaceful.
    I hope she is doing well..
    I remembered at the funeral, when my grandma just passed away, I can't even look at her picture, Because it would made me cry. I cried for days.. Even until now.. But I slowly accept it.. And gradually let go.. But she will still.. always be in my heart, my beloved grandma.

    Stop joan.. Dont get emotional again!
    ;) Im fine..

    After praying, we went home, and I sleep. HAHA!

    After dinner, my whole family chatted and watched tv together, and played with isabelle. After that, Isabelle had to go home, and I had to leave home, to dardar's house!
    Yep! Bball guys want to go there for countdown. HAHA!
    So Haoges, my brother in law, sent me to dardar's house!

    ***Further countdown info will be updated in the next entry.***
    I love my bball guys!!
