It was Albert's 27th bday on Friday.
He celebrated with his frens at vivocity with a dinner while i had my department dinner at Mt Faber. Pictures another day...the dinner was great. I meant my dinner haha. We were given a free two way cable ride from Harbourfront to Mt Faber, had bbq buffet at Faber Rock, which basically offered us a great view towards Vivo,Harbourfront and Sentosa. Had a gd chat with the pple in the department as well, with a healthy mix of old faithful employees and the young ones like me.
After that, took the cable car back to Harbourfront. Decided that i shall not meet albert since he's with his frens having dinner. But anyway later on changed my mind, and met them for cake cutting at Breko in HV.
We have decided that we shall celebrate his bday one to one on Sat instead. I've reserved a place for us at Equinox for the tea time buffet like 2 weeks before. But i didn't let him know and he kept joking that i must b making last minute plannings. I wanted to keep the location a secret until the day itself, bcos that's how he always wants to make things secretive and surprising for me. He loves to ONLY tell me where to go on the day itself, so as to make everything more fun. But i wasn't that successful lar..he guessed the location on Fri.
It's our 1st time EVER dinning in Equinox. The buffet was not bad, but i gez the breathtaking view of singapore landscape makes it really worthwhile. The weather was ok when we went..but it started pouring like half an hr later after our arrival. Was really very interesting sight, all the dark clouds hovering over the city and at the peak of the thunderstorm, clouds were surrounding our building..the staffs pulled up the blinds that were being lowered in the beginning of the buffet as it was still very bright... We enjoyed ourselves. Most importantly the birthday boy loves it. Of cos all these come with not cheap prices lar..but still affordable, afterall he had made many efforts in making my bday a really memorable one, and also the xmas dinner..not cheap. So i wanted him to feel 'pampered' too. 
Equinox gave us a gd seat with quite a good view of the city landscape. 
The clouds came and it started raining.
Then the rain was gone.
The natural lightning made our skins look so gd..so smooth and nice siah. I never ever had such gd skin to boast about until today. hahaha..
I usually don't rant about my relationship or my bf to my frens or the world. Im also not the kind of gf who would put her bf's pictures as her wallpaper on her pc,laptop,handphones or as neoprint stickers on my hp,files,watever you can think of. YOu have 99.9% of seeing my rabbit as the wallpaper than my bf. I don't talk much about my relationship bcos number 1, pple usually don't like to hear too much about all the sweet little nothings that happens b/w the couple..at least i get the impression that pple doesn't like to listen to toooo much of it and number 2, the previous relationship wasn't much for mi to tok abt, especially most of the time we were arguing and who likes to hear abt arguements, even I was damn sick of the fact that we are arguing again so y talk abt it?
But i thought i shd share more about my relationship since it's part of my life too.Well if it's too much for you guys to take then u can don't carry on reading haha. But u would have aldy read halfway anyway, so y not just finish the whole entry? haha...
ANyway, i felt kinda bad that i've been busy planning my holidays, my interview ( career changes eh..) that i didn't put in alot of efforts in planning for his bday. Comparatively, he had put in ALOT of efforts in many things that he did. I also didn't have the time to go buy him a present...but i managed to squeeze in time last minute to buy him a Crocodile shirt,which i feel is practical and nice. I don't like spending money on something he doesn't need/use. It was probably a surprise for him hat he recieved a present, bcos i already told him i won't b giving him one as i do not have the time to go buy....which i really believed it will happen .. he said he loves it. =)
Time really passes so fast. The 1st time i met his this particular grp of frens was a year ago and exactly on his bday celebration then. It was in walawala. It happened tht my cousin and her fren was planning to go there that night so i decided i shall go and then somehow found out that albert intends to celebrate it with his frens over there. But who would have guessed that when i got there, my cousin and her fren decided to go elsewhere for ktv instead. I rem i was so tired that nite, so i didn't wan to go with them and stayed with albert instead since it's his bday. Time really passes so fast. His frens were commenting last nite that it's been a year. Now the status is different. His last year's bday wish had come true.haha..
I just feel like im so blessed that we are together. His friends doesn't understand y it took us so long to get together but we both know that if we hadn't gone thru the one yr plus being friends, we would not be enjoying our relationship the way it is now. I know it sounds so cliche to say things like, im the most lucky gal in the world...or i have the most wonderful bf....haha but i do feel that way..
Im flying off on Friday. Throughout the whole planning of the trip, esp these 2 weeks, my mom hasn't been really happy about me going to China.She's terribly worried and hence i get all the scolding in the process. ALbert seems as if he doesn't care, bcos he didn't nag at mi or tell me not to go but just told me to b extra careful. He always has such gd way of putting things. He told me when i asked him if he's worried, that im a grown up..if i have to go overseas to work, he can't tell me to stay back just cos he's worried. Later on in the week, he said he will come over to my place on Thursday, the day before i fly off and help me pack. I don't need pple to help me pack........but then it's really nice that he wans to b involved. Today, he passed me bag of things he brought for mi to bring on my holidays. He's been like walking ard, thinking of what i would need and bought them for mi. Im not even that organised. Im usually super last minute and i'll just search my house for watever that i have and bring along. He has bought mi the bag so that its easier for evrything to b organised. An action like that...really shows how much he does care about my trip. Im really touched.
I really needed the lip balm,the nail clipper...etc..well actually if it's me i would probably really not bring the wet tissue(as i do not have the habit of buying wet tissue but comes in handy), i'll probably also not rem to bring a nail clipper(and then have a hard time all the time when overseas trying to get rid of my chipped nails etc),i'll also not bring my medicated oil, i'll also not bring the oil blotter ( but he likes to buy oil blotter for mi so i'll bring it) , and i'll also not bring the medicines(flu and diaohrea..i always fall sick overseas....and just imagine my torture and misery on those trips).It's nice that he has thought of all these for mi.oh and those on the bottom right are blister plasters, specially for blisters, it's made filled with gel to give the cushioned effect, i don't know if i need them but it's gd to hav them...and some normal plasters as well jsut in case. HE wanted to pack in antibiotic cream somemore..in case i cut myself or anything. But i told him i have the cream at home....bcos i nearly chopped off my thumb once at work but i only ended up with a peice of my skin almost chopped off from my thumb and still flapping around........i don't know if it would actually b betta if the skin was completely chopped off or left flapping around like that but anyway the cream was quite effective.HOpe that wasn't too graphic for u to take....
So yes..I truly think im really blessed. Im thanking God everynite for him, and for guiding us to walk on the right paths.Now i know...that if you walk right with GOd and he walks right with God too, we can walk right together...with each other. I don't think all these niceness are what you call 'honeymoon' periods, bcos we have known each other well as friends and for pretty long period of time..we have maintained that niceness...to say that we have even experienced many 'honeymoon' period already..not just now. It's not impossible to experience that kind of thing even if your not holding hands or being a couple.
Last of all, Happy Bday Albert. Hope u enjoyed these few days. May you grow closer to God this year and love Him even more.I also pray that we will continue to learn to love each other in the right and proper way, in a way that pleases Him. Thank you for being a gd bf,fren and brother-in-christ.
