Xiao Bai backside got hurt!! Ouch!

Dear was supposed to meet Mr Mahjong and who knows on the way to his house, Dear met with an accident where 2 cars behind him knocked onto Xiao Bai’s butt! Lucky Dear is fine but poor Xiao Bai, he needs an operation as Dear can’t open up his butt at all.. I think Dear must be really sad… lucky Mr Mahjong is able to advice him what to do cos Dear is due for Car Insurance renewal. Dear end up drinking at Boat Quay with Mr Mahjong while I was busy shopping with Elephant. Dear was complaining that he keep saying he wants other to knock BUT juuuuuust a little knock on Xiao Bai’s butt so that he can change the boot and now it really happens and it’s a serious one… What a way to prepare for Lunar New Year.

8 months anniversary

It’s a new year – Year 2009, also it’s the new “fa” beginning for us.. we’ve been together for 8 months.. Dear was saying we’ll “fa, fa fa”! Heehee..

So how did we celebrate today? It’s recession period, Dear no more OT, our jobs not stable.. So we had to be frugal now… Dear suggested Farm Café and Pork Knuckles but end up we went to Popeyes and Biscuits @ The Flyer as we are cutting cost. The meal cost us only 14.80 bucks as compared to around 50 bucks at Farm Café or Pork Knuckles… what a great choice we had! Heehee…

Hmm… I enjoyed today’s celebration even though it’s just a quick dinner and a slow and short walk but at least we are strolling at a place we both have not been before… I think at the same time we’ve been to Marina Barrage too… cos we are not sure where is the park where we can stroll. It was a good timing to go to The Flyer now as it has temporarily ceased operation and there’s no queue at Popeyes at all unlike Changi Airport – no seats and long queue…

I wonder where will we celebrate at for our next anniversary…

They started their adult life...

After graduation in 1999, both of them started working. The guy carried on the JSPS till 2003 as part of a bond. During these years, this guy went to Indonesia and Australia for detachment. After ORD, this guy decided to give hawker a try with his parents but it didn't last long and he took up an opportunity in manufacturing industry in 2004. Besides working, this guy's life is mainly hanging out at Boat Quay - drink, smoke and fool around, a place where the gal never patronise at all... Of cos, besides the fun he has, he was obsessed to his work as well by lotsa OT for almost 365 days non-stop... sometimes he don't even go home at all, drink at Boat Quay after work then return to office to work and carry on the same lifestyle and slowly he growed older and older....

In year 2000, the gal decided to start her 1st job in Temasek Polytechnic itself and she stayed and finished a project that lasted 3 years.. She also upgraded herself with a part-time degree... She changed job to a hospital followed by a Russian local company where she loves this job and dedicated all her time including weekend to it. Too bad pay's too low she decided to move to an insurance industry dealing with IT which is so new to her... She started learning new stuff in this company till now.. everyday is a learning curve to her...

During these few years, the gal bumped into few primary school friends like Nic, Bernard, Maggie... And the guy bumped into Maggie. This 2 person however never get to bump into each other... until a day in Mar 2008. Maggie introduced the guy to they gal over Friendster... and this is how the gal felt at that moment -

Gal : via the Friendster photos, can’t recognise him at all, looks familiar and a stranger at the same time. Well, 1st impression of him is a typical Beng..

Guy : wa... she put on so much weight ah, she used to be very tall and slim one... iyo...

Somehow this 2 person started to chat over MSN and get to know each other better...

A Polytechnic Story...

1996 - Guy studied Singapore Polytechnic and took up Joint SAF Polytechnic Scholarship (JSPS) for 3 years... He led his own life with lotsa smoking, drinking and gambling...

1997 - Gal studied in Temasek Polytechnic for 3 years... She had a simple life by taking up part-time job as tuition teacher...

Their path never crossed at all...

A Secondary School Story...

1992 - The gal graduated to Braddell Secondary School and studied for 5 years and graduated... The boy graduated to Serangoon Garden Technical School and studied for 4 years and graduated. Even though this 2 little kids stayed at the same vicinity - Ang Mo Kio and just few blocks away, they never bumped into each other before and of cos their path didn't crossed again... However, in year 1996, the guy moved to Yishun. I think it's even harder for the 2 of them to bump into each other...

A Primary School Story...

This is how it goes...

1989 - 2 little kids moved on to class 4/3 in Jing Shan Primary School. Everyone are new faces to one another. Life is the same as the rest of the little kids. They studied, played, took many many examination and finally they both graduated in 1991. The 2 little kids never played together before. The gal has her own group of friends from her class whom she hangs out often to the Library and cycling.. as for the boy, he has his own group of friends too but mainly is his neighbours. Their path of fun and laughter never crossed in the 3 whole years... and they moved on to different secondary school...
