One of Ah C's fellow pilot trainee who studied with him in the US injured his knee recently and had to return to Singapore (from his BWC course in Perth) for a surgery. Really, life is unpredictable. Like when Ah C was close to injuring (and maybe lose) his eye while training for his powerlifting about over a year back. That is why when you guys say I am just waiting for my "Tai tai" life to begin.. i always reply "you never know what will happen in the future.."
As much as I want to leave my job and pursue my patisserie dream, one has to be practical and realistic. IF Ah C does not become a pilot in the end and our plans have to change, our future will never change, because it will consist of me and him. For one, I know he will not let me suffer, because its in him, determined and motivated. Even if he can't make his passion his career, i know he will use his energy on something meaningful. And he is someone I can rely on.
I am really blessed and lucky to find someone whom I love and who loves me, and we know there is a great future ahead of us. And I am glad that some of my friends have found their special someone too. From the way they look into each others eyes, the little sweet things they say to each other in a very sincere way, the way they enjoy small little things together, I know that will go a long way.
Relationships do not build upon words alone. More often than not, it takes the effort of two, communication, understanding and trust. Hence, if you think you have found that someone, hold on tight and make it work. Before its too late, because life is unpredictable.

my life is so boring
Quan says I am trying to make people jealous of me by blogging about our holiday this coming May-June. but seriously, i am so excited and talking about it so much because i am going to meet my dear then, who is in a far far away land right now.
I realised my life has changed ever since quan is not around. Somehow, I think i became more of a loner, more isolated from everyone else. and life has become so routine and mundane.
i seldom even go out nowadays. on weekdays, i just wanna go home and rest. i dunno if its just an excuse. perhaps its really because my friends are occupied with their lives that there is no time for me. its so difficult to get people to meet up that i gave us asking. i rather just go out and shop myself if i have to, own time own target. it takes up so much energy trying to get people out at a certain time, and people nowadays always turn up late (i am very impatient and i hate waiting la).
only go out when there are group gatherings. and they are always boring affair involving eating and nothing else. i would really love to have impromptu outings! have fun, girls talk and anything impromtu. like the one i had with my sclub last fri... so fun!
though disappointed at times, i guess its good too. cos if i go out, it would mean spending more money. so going out less means i can save more, which i have to.
if only i could, like everyone else, go home to my boy after a tiring day of work. but my dear is not around. and i havent had a nice meal for so long! not sakae sushi, not swenson's, not fish and co, not jumbo... i mean a REALLY NICE meal. but i think i gotta wait for him to come back and have it with me, cos who wants to spend so much on a meal if its not with their boyfriend/girlfriend.... i mean, if i had a budget, i rather spend it with quan as well..
sigh. my life is so unexciting. i am just blabbing away...... anything that comes to my mind.
now u know why i am looking forward to my U.S. trip so much.

upcoming US trip
as i draft out the itinery and budget for the upcoming vacation in US, i realised that it is actually quite a long (3 weeks) and extravagant trip!
The first week will be mainly spent in Colorado Springs, where Ah C is staying right now. The highlight of the stay would of course be his ring dance (a ball for third year cadets), for which I will have to shop for a dress (and prob lose some weight) within the next three months. Other possible activities would include white water rafting, hiking up eagles peak and probably just rest and relax in the beautiful house of Brett and Julie(his sponsor family) and have a meal at the Vietnamese restaurant where Ah C goes to quite often. Not forgeting eating at my favourite Cheesecake Factory in Denver, and of course have a better look at the city of Denver (which I only went to for a couple of hours the previous time).
2 days after ring dance, we will fly off to Fort Lauderdale, Florida, to spend 5 days on board the Royal Carribean Cruise to the Carribean Sea! Along the trip m the ship will be docking at Key West, Florida and the cities of Mexico and Belize in Central America, where we will be making day trips to explore the cities!
After the cruise, we will be heading to Orlando for the themeparks and outlet shopping. I still remember the fun we had at Tokyo Disneyland, Disneysea and Osaka Universal Studios and is completely excited about visiting the parent themeparks in Orlando, which houses bigger and more variety of themeparks.
Walt Disney alone has 4 themeparks on its own, namely Magical Kingdom (which is the standard one similar to Tokyo Disneyland and Hong Kong Disneyland), Epcot (futureland), Hollywood Studios (similar to Universal Studios, featuring Walt Disney movies instead of Universal ones) and Animal Kingdom. On top of that, there are two water themeparks to add to the list. Universal Studios has two to its name - Universal Studios and Islands of Adeventure. Besides Walt Disney and Universal, there is also Seaworld. There are so many choices we are still thinking of which one to go to... but Seaworld will definitely be in because both of us haven't been to any Seaworld before.
Ok.. I think to that, the trip will be coming to an end....
It is going to be an expensive trip - all the internal flights, cruise, themepark tickets and the basic accomodation and meals and outlet shopping.
Still considering if we should take some activities out!

January
Its been such a looooong time since I last posted something here.
Thats partly because in December, I had to spend most of my time accompany my dear who was back for holidays... and soon (on the very day itself)after he returned to the US for his new school term, I had to start my secondment back to assurance. The first week was still alright... though I was pretty 'rusty' after having left assurance for half a year. Then the second week came... to start on a job that had a very bad reputation...
Wah, it really sucks man. I think can fight with my China job back in October 2008. We had a reporting deadline to meet in 1.5 weeks for 2 entities. and this is the first year that we are doing reporting for this company. For the previous 2 years, it took one entire year to finish the stat audit and we only signed the accounts for FY2007 like... less than a month ago? How crazy is that. Needless to say, we could not report in time... and it is still dragging... even though I have already pulled out. I dunno how many more weeks this reporting thing is going to last, and how many handovers will there be. But i dun care... cos I am out already!!! yea!! Though I expect many phone calls from the new team to ask me stuff la.
Having worked till 10plus (at client place) and another few hours more back home for the past 3 weeks, I can't wait to start my comfortable life back in IA. How does knocking off at 6pm everyday with no need to bring work home sound? Four weeks of good life, shall worry about the future later. Haiyah, I really dun understand how anyone can get used to external audit life.
Anyway, didnt really enjoy chinese new year this year cos i think i was too tired and bothered with my job. its good that the job is over, so i can enjoy the rest of my new year....
So many movies i wanna watch!!!! time to do it!!!
