WE R GETTING MARRIED :->

KP and IC are getting MARRIED :->

Yes after more than 2years, we have decided to move on to an all important stage of our lives. Our lives together, our paths together, a new stage of our lives that will mean "till death do us part"

Baby's proposal was romantic (to me), very sweet, and very meaningful to me.

Tho I was anticipating the proposal in Bali, I didnt xpect it to happen at Mount Rinjani. After climbing for more than 8 hours, rested for a night, woke up then enjoy the sunrise view, Baby executed his Plan B.......yes it was plan B cos A was to propose the nite before, but i konk off after climbing 8 hours.

So, Plan B -> Baby in his usual adventurous spirit suggested moving away from the crowd to another part of the mountaintop to enjoy the sunrise and the volcano view. I didnt suspect anything at all, was just thinking aloud "why waste energy and what difference does it make?" Baby was almost frantically seeking a Plan C...hahaha...bt that was still not needed yet

We moved away from the crowd, just a little. With a slight privacy, baby was quick to start his "well rehearsed lines", which till today I still remember vividly and it's sweet enuf for me to rem for the rest of my life. Here r the lines....

"baby, life is a journey, it will be difficult and long, but I would like you to walk this journey with me" ....then the "mock" ring came out of his trekking jacket.

awwwwww.....ww...i was so melted. But still, I made him say the Golden Words: WOULD YOU MARRY ME.

Of course baby, you my sweet baby :-)
Thanks for being that wonderful man in my life, thanks for making me laugh all the time. I cant wait to renovate our new home, move in, get married and start our lives as ONE.

Remember we are a team :-)

My 2-year mark with the Remotely-controlled boy!

He has grown, so have I. We have grown together as a fun-loving and still adventurous couple :-)

A brief recount of our precious memories:
Honeymoon on the first 6mths - Get-aways to Bali and Bintan. Absorbing ourselves by the beach, view of Bali rice fields, first experience of a Villa, and our first Motorcycle adventure.....

Days of squabbling begins - When RC came into the equation, baby's total obssession left me high and dry. Obsession = Oblivious. Baby's obessesion = oblivious to my presence. The road to finally accepting baby and his hobby = beginning of no more RC. Conclusion: Life works the opposite.

Days of syringes, blood test and blood test and more blood tests - Moments of anguish coupled with puzzled-ness and mix that with insecurity = bad concoction...taste bad in the mouth, leaves a bad after taste. This really taught us the importance of communication. Some things shouldnt be left un-said :-)

Days of clear skies then fun fun fun - When the test results were out, we stared hard, we brainstormed for a solution and finally the sky became clear. The aftermath was catching up on the fun we both missed! Our version of fun - cooking a storm and making a mess of auntie's exceptionally well kept kitchen, finding good food hunts and lazing the weekend morning in bed, "pillow fighting"...and prata@ bukit batok. Most memorable fun moment - still baby's clever imitation of his mum. Till today...i still laugh when i visualise the moment...hahahaa.

Days in Japan - 2 weeks of touring Japan brought us a lot of interesting moments. Finding our swear-to-be-the-nicest-udon place, to the most beautiful train ride, most enchanting scenery to i-swear-i-am-not-going-to-do-it-again roller coaster ride. And not forgetting the most kinki hotel u will ever find :-p

Days now - Days of an already-settled pattern and common understanding. Friday and Saturdays = our time. Week nights = 5-30mins talk on phone. Dota = baby's new found mistress gets the 11pm-1am time slot. And occassionally creeps into our Fridays and Saturdays with my permission of course =p

To Baby - You always be my baby :-) Thank you for being there for me:-) Thank you for making me laugh all the time:-) Thank you for making my day end well every night:-) Thank you for taking my nonsense and my irritating teasing:-) Thank you for being a gentlemen and my boy-next-door:-) Thank you for sharing with me your joy:-) Thank you for making me feel I am second to none and Dota is nowhere near:-)

I enjoyed your love:-)
Happy Anniversary.

* thats it liao baby. now-saday recession la. present waste money=p

i wanna go fishing!

my first fishing trip, baby brought me along with his colleagues to Indonesia waters, for fishing.
reminiscing the trip......
and looking forward to the next one, which will happen in March - exactly one year from my previous fishing trip.

I WANNA GO FISHING

Baby has an Affair!!

Dota is baby's new mistress.

She gives him the "highs" every night.

They kiss, hug and have multiple highs on some /most nights.

Baby calls her in such a deary tone "my dota"

She knows exactly what tickles a man.

..and she knows exactly how to make "the other woman" jealous.

Love her or Hate her?

~ a scandalous affair

Arigato Gozaimasta (!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

LAND OF MEI MEI, thats baby's intimate labelling of Japan.

18-31st October 2008

Trip Itinerary : Tokyo > Osaka > Kobe > Kyoto > Nara > Tokyo
Japan was unbelievably fun for baby and me! A roller coaster ride@ Universal Studio almost left my heart in the mouth. Yet baby was smiling ear to ear after the ride! Just when I thought it was the end of risky rides, that little boy suggested what I pretend not to hear - 20storey high roller coaster ride@ FujiQ (near Fuji mountain)! I am still pretending, and will still continue to =p

Not only is Japan a land of beautiful women, it is also a land of fresh sashimi, charismatic chef, complicated subways, mind blowing scenery, beautiful temples, amazing technology and a land where escalators are almost non existent! Japanese walk so much that it really explains the "tight butts" and slender figures. Bet Mary Chia wont survive in Japan at all and its not hard to understand why. Carbos all get burn off walking just from the subway to your destination! At least baby and I did, we pretty much lost 1-2kg after returning to Sg.

2 weeks in Japan, we almost didnt wanna come back! We literally fell in love with the people, the place, the food, the scenery, practically everything. We both fell deeper in love too:-) Baby was extremely lovely, sweet, and very sweet (gosh cant find any other words to describe). I was in emotional highs, basking in baby's charming smile and hugs, totally in awe of baby's topographic skills (hmm, very manly), revering my man as he leads and plan. Heee:-)

We had our little tiff as well. If only I have agreed to buy the JR Pass, we would have save almost $ 100 per person!!! If only if only! Oh well, my bad = OUR bad! Learning the meaning of couplehood :-)

Here are the pics, a good reminscent of our very fruitful trip! Enjoy :0)

Irene Wake Up

What is life if there are no downs.
But a "down" is one only if you see it as it is.

How can life be bad when I am earning decently $4plus whilst many scramble to feed a family of 4 with a salary of $2+.

How can life be bad when all I am facing is a mere genetic errors whilst many are battling cancers and kidney failures.

How can life be bad when I am debt free whilst many are paying arses just to have a roof over the head.

How can life be bad when I have someone who holds the phone and hear me whine non stop whilst many others spend their lives alone in this whole wide world.

How can life be bad when food is still within my means whilst african kids dig carcasses out for food

How can life be bad when I am making plans to go on holidays whilst many others havent travelled further than Sentosa.

How can life be bad when I am typing away whilst others read under kerosene lamps and dont know what PCs stand for.

How can life be bad?

Time for me to count my blessings.

May this blog be a reminder of how blessed I am, to be where I am today, to have what I have today.

The Big T

I received my results today, 2 weeks later than baby's.

And it says clearly in one sentence "Suggestive of Alpha -T trait"
Then the next sentence confuses you by saying "HbH present in 1/3000 RBC"

I presume RBC means red blood cells. So does it mean, it is so "little" that it can almost be counted insignificant? *fingers crossed*

Then the last sentence reads "to correlate with other findings/lab readings"
Does it mean its inconclusive stand-alone? A conclusion is to be made when all readings are made on a whole?

What would I choose to believe?

....that the Good Lord never fails me. So rebuke I did to the results and Trust that God will throw a bright light tomorrow when the doc does our analysis.
