Dear darling,

I've miss you, and i always will. Take extra good care of yourself okay. I know i will not be there to nag at you, but i know you will be strong and independent enough to do what is right. Careful your blouse, skirt/dress okay? Don't type and walk at the wrong places. Go home early, don't overwork yourself. Don't hesitate to de-stress and relax, go out with friends okay? Be brave and strong. Keep the positive mindset as much as possible, if not, all the time. Manage your time and yourself well alright! (: Most importantly, be happy! I love you sweetie. Please text me how's your day everyday okay! Although i may not be able to give you an instant reply, but i will do my best to do so. I'll see you in 2 weeks. I'm sure it will be quick. I love you, i look forward to see you soon. I love you baby, i really do. We'll make this work. (:

Love,
David

Saturday night.
Went to service and left earlier today.

Spent some time with my family, especially my little sister. Why must there be NS..?
But well, I will enlist, go in, and do everyone proud, hopefully I will be an officer! (:

Bye for now.
Sunday, going to be good.

Oh my.. tomorrow's Friday already.
Anyway, i've bought almost everything i need for NS, except i'm still contemplating if i should get an extra blackberry battery.

Well, today was a great day! As usual, been having great food since i quit my job. Just yesterday, Jasmine brought me and my darling girl to this Indonesian buffet and we sure had our fill! We even had desserts at Coffee Club! I'm guilty for pampering myself with so much great delicacies..
Me and my darling girl met her Mum at Yishun and we head off to NEX. Shopped around, tasting samples in NTUC, and we totally felt like we had a meal there already! Met her sister later on, whom drove us to AMK for claypot for dinner. Everything was so nice and i am so thankful! (:

Great week spent, and i know it was all worthwhile for all the activities done!

It's nearing.
Lazy Tuesday, but i still got up early to prepare my darling girl's favourite pasta. Brought it to her school as another surprise lunch. Ate our hearts out and got to play my FIFA on her iPhone! I guess soccer is the only game i can fully understand and master. Went home after that.

Spent some time with little sister, helped her in her homework, played some games with her. She has grown a lot, but thankfully she still has that funny side of her that we cultivated together since young.  Had dinner together and i was off to meet some of the sigui and my beloved girl. Had initial plan to eat Joe's Corner, but well, the menu disappointed us and thus we headed for Ice Edge Cafe. Got my fish & chips, buffalo wings and our chocolate lava cake with a scoop of strawberry gelato. I felt like i had my supper and tomorrow's breakfast at one go for a moment! But i was really eating, as i've always been for the past weeks; feeding myself with awesome food!

Tomorrow's Wednesday, midweek of my final week before enlistment.
I will be meeting my ex-colleagues for our long waited Kenny Rogers'. Later that day, i will be meeting my beloved girl and Jasmine for dinner. Spend, spend, spend! On where? On FOOD! Well, it will be a worthwhile activity because i will not get to taste such awesome food any sooner or as often as i want to when i enlist..

Been packing my stuffs. Family's going to shift house, a wrong timing. But yeah, i've been packing my stuffs. Boxes after boxes. Nothing much left to blog i guess. Oh, i'm already packing my army stuffs too. Still has a couple of things to buy.. Hope to get all soon. Okay, bye.

8th Monthsary!
I'm so glad for this day, been waiting for it to come. 8 freaking months already!!!
Well, i fetched my beautiful girl in school, outside her class. Ate in school, had my favourite nasi lemak, but without the coconut rice. It was still nice though.

Then we head to our surprise destination.. which as usual my smart girlfriend had guessed.
Garden By the Bay! Amazing place, but a pity we did not enter the two domes. I'm sure we will get to one day! Everything was nice and the scenery was really gorgeous. Evening sets in and we slowly walked into MBS as we snap pictures here and there on the way.. (:

Didn't take too long to reach our destination. But it was quite a walk around the whole garden. Nonetheless it was fun and sweet to walk with your love one! (:





I enjoyed myself a lot. Everything was amazing. We walked around MBS, went into shops we've never done before, and settled for some food at the food court. Made our way back, and sent her home. Great day spent. Simple yet nice celebration. (:


BABY! I miss you. Happy 8th monthsary. You're the best and you will always be. Sweeter than honey, prettier than a rose. You're my everything, my world. Keep up the good work and stay amazing! I love you darling, forever and always, till infinity and beyond. I look forward to our blessed and blissful future together! <3

So, my 2 weeks of "holiday" is now left with 1. Soon, I'll be required to shave my head and head to the jungle. Sounds.. fun.. eh? Well, on Saturday, my ex-colleagues had planned a BBQ for me as a farewell event for my enlistment. They are such a sweetheart, but of cause they will never be as sweet as my darling girl! I will be wearing my new Arsenal Away 2011/2012 jersey given by my beloved girl. Anyway, I'm kinda in a stale mood now. Moodless. Thoughts..

I know I'm the jealous type. But you see, being a guy.. I don't get to go out with girls anyhow i want to. At least it is not as easy as a girl asking a guy out, or going out with a guy. It's the direct opposite for a guy. We can't ask a girl out that easily. Further more, i don't have much female friends whom i can call up to go out with. I get jealous, because i find it unfair. It's not what i want. But well, I've been trying to curb this myself, and i think i've improved slightly. I have to, because this is a huge mental hurdle to bring into the army. Whatever it is, i trust you and i believe in us..

Not going to countdown how many days left to enlistment, but I'm going to blog about what i've been doing for the past few days instead!

So.. i went for acupuncture few days back. Had to get my back checked for the persistent pain. My darling was so nice to accompany through the wait during the queue, despite my annoying whines about it being so long and wasting of time. Deeply apologetic though.
On the next day, Tuesday, yesterday, i brought some curry beehoon cooked by Mum to school and gave my sweetie a surprise lunch. Hahaha, that was pretty much it for that day.

Today, i made some french toast and brought it to school for my beloved as snacks, but she took it as lunch! Right, so I went to meet KC for lunch and i tellllllllllllllll you, you'd have never imagined how delighted i was getting to taste lawn foodcourt's ayam penyet again! Missed the taste so much! Went home after that. Later that evening, met my secondary school friends KC and Anis. My darling came too, as a surprise, with a gift i thought i would never own. AN ARSENAL JERSEY! I love it so much, and it was all the aww-ish moment and you just want to hug the giver! (which i eventually did) We watched Ice Age together, darling had to rush home and soon the 3 of us had dinner. Caught up with each other awhile and went home. I'm grateful for the people and love ones around me. Feels really great to catch up with old mates.. Miss those days.. (':

So, my last day at Ministry Of Manpower passed.
I've met lots of awesome colleagues, whom i consider really good friends.
I guess it really isn't about the amount of friends one have, but the quality of it. My colleagues were really nice and caring people. Pity that well, a short stint has now ended. Who would have known that i would meet such good people in there?!

Thankfully, I did not end my last day at work on a bad note. I guess everyone was happy. Pointers for NS were given here and there by the experienced, goodbyes were bid, wishes were said, gifts were given. Never had I felt this good, and extremely sad at leaving something.. I'll never forget this part of my life, though it was just a short 2 and a half months, close to 3.


Some of the interns (not in the picture) were really nice to me, and I'll always appreciate them too. Especially my "sister" .. I've always wanted to greet someone as "jie-jie" and well she allowed me to. Whatever it is, I've learned a lot from this job, and I'll definitely never forget all that was granted, given, or scarred. Everything happens for a reason.

Now, for my last 2 weeks of enjoyment, before my enlistment.. (:

I think it was 12th September 2011, that I embarked on a journey to see the northern side of the world. Who'd have known, that I'd find my other half in this trip?..

It all happened.. on this faithful day.
Luggage and bags all packed and sat. Got my book, read a page. Typically, every guys would scan around the group to look for pretty girls. It so happened one of them caught my eyes. But that was just like spotting a rose from a bouquet of sunflower. So i took the least notice of it as the departure went on, setting off for beautiful Shanghai.

Here and then, that particular rose seems to have really stood out, showing traits of humour and fun personality. My kind of flower! That was it. I've developed a minimal crush, just from her bubbly character.

I don't know how, but we somehow got to chat, occasionally here and there. Turns out, we were really chatting a lot since then. At night, the whole group would all gather to one hotel room to bond and socialize. Somewhat an overseas trip tradition. Added each other on every social media possible, got to know each other better, and she even did a plaid on my fringe! Night after night, i felt my crush bulb lighting up, flickering, like it was about to burst. One time, I did not get to meet that beautiful rose of mine for the nightly session, I got so anxious I had to hope she gets online on her facebook just so i could chat with her.. Apparently, she did not. At that moment, i felt like the wind just blew my rose away, nowhere to be found..

The next day. Things went for the better! Chat a lot during excursions, and of cause seeming how close we were getting, we were then rumoured or "match-made" to be husband and wife of the trip. Fun, but was rather awkward. Thing is.. I enjoyed that little phase, secretly. The last night of the trip was a bliss. I had to make an excuse to get wifi at the hotel lobby, with an actual intention of hoping to see that rose of mine, whom I've predicted to be out with her clique to get snacks over at the convenience store opposite our hotel. True enough, she did and we sat together to have a chat, without her knowing my real intention. All was good and we had fun with the whole group that night.

On our last day, I felt my heart itch, I felt it calling me. Then, i figured.
What's after the trip?
Will I ever see this girl again?
Will I ever get to meet her again?
Was that all an actual short fairytale? ..

I pondered and wondered. I knew i had to do something.
As we shopped around the last few venue, I rallied all my available courage, prompted her a provoking question..

"Do you want to seat together with me in the plane later?"

I jumped for joy in my mind right when she agreed! Nobody will ever know how happy i felt at that moment. It was all good and we really sat together. 5 hours flight back to Singapore. Took the chance, got to know each other even more, matching our similarities and interest, and eventually, i was certain, i like this girl a lot.. As we near our destination, that same tingling heart itch came back. I knew, i have to do the same thing again. Prompt another outrageous question.

"Will I ever see you again?"

All it took was her almighty 'Yes' to revitalise a huge relief in my heart and soul. With God's grace, He had brought me a wonderful soulmate, and soon, on our first date came.

Today, 7 beautiful months passed, and soon the 8th with our whole life more to come. We've never looked back since..

 Evangelyn Koh Hui Jing, you're my rose to my stem.
You completed the stalk like you've completed my life.
You bloomed the rose like you've bloomed my character.
You've brought the best out of me and I'll always be grateful for you.

I love you darling, nothing will ever bring us down. You and I, will stand as one, fight as one, and win as one. I believe in us. Let's keep on keeping on darling. (:

Saturday! Oh happy day, HAPPY DAY! (:

Met up my darling sweetheart at her station and she brought me a slice of chocolate cake! HOW SWEET IS THAT! Hehe. Devoured it pretty fast and i have to say it tasted not bad. Set off to Expo, for Dr Robi Sonderegger's first seminar. Enjoyed it a lot, because he always articulate himself very well with lots of expression and dramatic movements. Watched him preach and he never disappoints. (:

Later after service, we went off for dinner! Pay's not yet in, and financially tight. Challenges after challenges.. but well, persistence; relentless. Heading to the jungle soon. 2 years free of fitness membership! Ya.. i wish it was that exciting as it sounds.. Then again, it is mandatory and i guess i just have to go through this. It better be fun..

Nothing much to blog about. But i do want to add on that i miss my darling! She've been a dear to me in recent days.. thanks for putting up with my tantrums baby. I love you. (:

"No argument is ever about the topic, it's always about the emotion behind the topic." -Dr Robi

Wow, been awhile since i blogged.
So recently my cute little sister turned 9 on 1st July! She grows up, I grew older. Amazing how i still remember when the time she was still a little toddler..

Ok, final 2 weeks of my work at MoM.
Learned a lot, suffered a lot, laughed a lot. Nothing like a classroom lesson, but i still made lots of nice friends, lots of fun colleagues. I got a feeling i'll miss those people somehow..
Nonetheless, i can't wait to finish work. I need my beauty rest.. because NS is near.
I guess i'm prepared.. am i?

Alright, i think that's all i want to blog about. A little short update to keep this blog alive. OH OH OH!!! I miss my girlfriend. Hehe. GOODNIGHT! (:

WHAT DOESN'T KILL YOU WILL ONLY MAKE YOU STRONGER
