Feeling so..

Sleepy and tired right now. I have been lazy about updating my blog. After the big make-over, I've just been plain lazy.

Been doing a little bit of cooking and me-time past week, which is good. Life is very balanced now for me, and I have not been sick and been in any sorta pain. Although I think I need to lose a little bit of weight.

I'm going to bed now, so I'll just blog tomorrow. =)

Niteys everyone...

I'm feeling...

sleepy, but really happy.. =)

I woke up early to make lunch for Mom. And I even delivered it to work for her (even though we work at the same place and I had to work too), but hey, it's the thought that counts ok~!

So anyways, I'm quite happy today because everything seems to go well for me today. First, I tried to recreate this pasta dish, Garlic Prawn Pasta, and it came out exactly like the way the restaurant does it! Then work wasn't too overly busy which is a plus, considering that it is a Monday.

Another thing that made me pretty cheerful was the fact that someone actually discussed plans about him coming over to see me! Well, maybe except for the part where he told me that I should go to work as per normal, and he can go meet Dennis (aka Klips/Iharemu) for lunch without me. As if I'll let him outta my sight.. With those 2, you never know what mischief they'll get into!!

Today has been a good day. =) I hope I'll have a good week ahead.

Here's a trailer of 2 movies I want to watch. =) Hope you guys enjoy it.

How I spent my...

22nd birthday this year.

I had a very nice 22nd celebration with my family these year 2 days before the actual date because everyone had plans on my birthday. So, we celebrated on Friday at this nice Japanese restaurant for their buffet. =)

It was a pretty fun night, even though my dad came late (because he was fixing his car), but he made it. =) I like our family outings/dinner maybe because for me, family is quite important to me. My family gets along pretty well, and we are much closer now than we were before. And also, my parents pay for most things when we go out for dinner. Heehee..

But that aside, I honestly have to say that if I were to go anywhere away from them for a long period of time, I'll miss my family the most. In fact, when I was in Sydney, I was making calls to my bro every other day. And when I arrived at the airport, I was so happy to see my parents, I wanted to hug my mom. Haha.. We're not really a very 'touchy' family, which means we dun say 'I love you' or hug much. =) Very traditional chinese family, I guess.

So dinner with the family for my birthday celebration is always fun. =) I prefer that over presents of any sort. =P Here's 2 pictures I took on that night (2 pictures of food).





I'm hungry again now...

So anyway, today was my actual birthday and I spent the day lazing at home. Haha.. I woke up at noon, had lunch and was watching movies in my room. =) I watched Alvin and The Chipmunks today. I also tried making some buffalo wings, but they weren't that fantastic. Need to add more spices and salt the next time. =)

I had a few birthday messages from my friends, so thanks to all who remembered. And thats how I celebrated my birthday. This year is a tad bit boring because Mat's not here to celebrate it with me. But I have some surprises for my dear boy when he arrives because we did not get to celebrate together this year. I've already got his present, and when he's here, we're going to this nice restaurant Sage for a nice romantic belated birthday dinner for both of us. =)

I've already got everything planned out. We are gonna go to places to eat, shop and sight-see. =P Hope everything works out on his side. =)

Ok, I think thats it for now. Good night everyone and have an awesome week ahead. =)

Happy Valentine's Day~!

Things I saw today,

1) People that are dressed up to go out with their other halves.
2) Guys holding bouquets of flowers and bags of present.
3) People taking 2 days worth of medical leave because they know they are not gonna be sleeping tonight. =P

My ideal way to celebrate V-day would be just to have dinner with the one I love. =) But because we can't have dinner together this year, he got me my next fave thing on the list.


My fave flowers. =)



Thanks babyee.. The flowers smell so sweet.


Happy Valentine's Day to all you couples out there. =)

Happy Birthday..

To my dear Mathew Yeung,

It's your birthday today. Sorry we can't be together to celebrate your turning one year older but I'll make it up to you when you come over to visit me. I was planning on sending you some flowers and chocolates, but according to you, I cannot do that or you will get bashed at work.

Anyways, I just want to say I love you always and forever. May you have a great day today and may whatever wish you have all come true.

Love Always,
Ivy

Have you ever...

asked your special someone why they love you?

I know it's cheesy and all, but I think it's a very reasonable question. I go through everyday asking myself why would anyone wanna love me. I'm grumpy and moody (sometimes for no reason what-so-ever), I like to whinge a lot, I like things done my way, I talk too much and I tend to be mean a lot of times. I like to procrastinate and am really untidy.

So tell me, why would anyone love someone with heaps of faults like me. I've asked that particular question to a certain Mr Y a lot, but... he doesn't really answer my question. His answers make me afraid, because is he gonna love me the same way he does now maybe 3 years down into the relationship?

I'm afraid because what if someone else better comes along for him, and decides that she likes him? I've been to Australia and trust me, there's a lot more better-looking girls than me where he's at. What happens then? Sigh.. Maybe I shouldn't even be thinking too much into this. Maybe I should just enjoy whatever I have with him now, live for the moment and not think about the future.

Gah, I hate it when I feel so insecure. Or maybe because I wish that sometimes, men would say stuffs like this to us more often, because we need the assurance from them.

-----

I'm not sure... Maybe it's just me. I dunno. Oh well, whatever..

I've just..

got a haircut today. Its so short now, well, not that short.. I mean it's still pretty long but still a lot shorter compared to before. It's like shoulder-length now. But I like it, it's a nice change and I look neater and it feels good. =)

Today has been a busy busy tiring day. We saw and served a total of 221 patients. Is that crazy or what?!?! Mom and I actually got home at 11pm after cleaning and tidying up the clinic. I bet it's the coming Lunar New Year holidays, got everyone into the holiday mood and make them wanna bludge and take sick days. Honestly, I can't stand people who take sick days just because of a little bit of pain. I mean, when I had serious menses cramps (the type that keeps you lying on your side in a fetal position for hours), I just took a pain killer and go to work as per normal. But thats just me and one of my pet peeves.

Another thing I realised about having more time to myself because I no longer play WoW, is that I have a lot more time on my hands to blog. Haha.. And the truth is, there's nothing blogworthy! I mean, we do the same things day in and day out, it's boring and well... BORING~! Lol, now I understand when blog-lebrities stop blogging for a few days/weeks. And pictures!! Uploading pictures are a pain in the ass! Especially when your PC or net connection is shit~! Oh well...

I want to learn how to use Adobe Photoshop. Anyone wanna teach me? Sigh, I wanna start learning how to drive too and play a guitar. Should they be my 2008 resolutions? I'm not the type to do resolutions, and I've never once kept to what I say I wanna do. =P We shall see, I guess..

Anyways, I'm off to bed.. Sleepy sleepy now..

Nights everyone.. *Hugs*

Lazy..

It's been a decadent day for me. I woke up today at about 1 pm in the afternoon, then proceeded to do nothing but eat and watch tv for the whole day. =P That's how I love my weekend.

Although I was doing a little bit of spring cleaning in the afternoon when my parents came back. Was going through 2 boxes of stuffs I totally forgot. I found pictures from my high school days, all the sticker photos and lots of my Blue stuffs~!

I threw everything away~! I had magazines that were never opened, posters I bought still in the covers and files of clipping and print outs of them. I estimated about a few hundred dollars which I spent on all those. So now, I'm left with their autographed picture biography and 4 albums of their pictures taken the first time I ever saw them and fell in love with them. Debs and I were so crazy back then. Instead of finding time to go out with real actual boys, we spent all our time and money on a band who had legion of screaming female fans. It was fun and fantastic! I miss being a silly teenager.

Being an adult is boring. So many choices to make, so many responsibilities. But being an adult has it's perks too, like getting to stay out till late at night, getting married and making babies~! Heehee.. Oh, and getting a job. The only thing I like about my job is the paycheck. Because at the end of every month, you know you haven't suffered for nothing and that you get to enjoy what you earn. And everyone knows that money is very important in this world where we live in. It's not everything, but it's important if you want the basic comforts in life. That, for me, would be a TV, a PC, lots of food, games to play with and a nice place to call my own (aka my room)

Anyhoos, I'm so totally looking forward to the Lunar New Year. All the red packets, the food and the visiting of relatives and friends. =) Wish you guys all a great week.

Life without..

WoW is kinda boring. It's only because I've finished watching every single TV shows I have downloaded. Ever since I've come back from Australia, I dun feel the need to log on anymore. In this 3 weeks, I've caught up on some spring cleaning, TV watching and lots of me time. It's good in a way because I have more time to spend with Mat.

I've finished 2 seasons of Greys Anatomy, the whole Ouran High anime series and now halfway through Gossip girl. =P I love American TV shows. I might start on Heroes and then Private Practice. I've become a TV junkie. Help~!

Anyways, I forgot to mention I've gotten my room back! I finally get to have a proper room with lots of privacy. I can't wait till Mat is here. HeeHee~! *evil chuckle*

The story behind everything was for the past 4 years, my room was occupied by my 2 cousins and the 3 different maids we had over this 4 years. At that time, my parents were trying to help my uncle who had just lost his wife. So he had to take care of 3 girls, the youngest at that time being 2 months old, all by himself. We took care of the 2 older girls and installed them at our place, enrolled them into a school nearby and got a maid to take care of them when we were not at home.

Long story short, I gave up my room and 4 years later, they have moved back in with my uncle and his new wife. Our maid's contract is ending soon, or we might let her go earlier (another story for another time). So the house is gonna be much much quieter maybe after Chinese New Year, and I'll have to start doing housework!! Intimidating but kinda exciting at the same time. =)

Thats it I guess, have a great weekend everyone. =) I'm gonna have a loooooooooooooooong weekend next weekend, what with Chinese New Year being on Thursday, Friday and no work for me on Saturday and Sunday~!


P.S. I miss him so much. =(
