와이탄

My VIP client/prospect event was held at the beautifully restored Fairmont Peace hotel. It has a really nice view of the Bund and Pudong skyline. Don't you agree?

鲜芋仙!

It's been a year since I last have this in Shanghai! It still tastes as good :)
Hopefully this chain store will step foot in Singapore soon!

After a year and one month, I finally can bank in his cheque of a substantial amount tomorrow.
Praying it will not bounce...

바빴어...

Haven't been blogging faithfully these days... Been busy with work, classes and dating :) After our EE session, we haven't been quarrelling ~yeah! and we both are more life giving in our relationship.

Will be flying Shanghai soon for a conference and thereafter to London for a holiday! I haven't travelled to UK before so really looking forward to this getaway :)

Watch this space for pictures!

OPUS Jay 2013 World Tour!

Finally! Managed to get tickets from a sincere online seller!

EE

I have just attended the Engage Encounter session over the weekend and it's really inspiring and fulfilling. Though it's extremely tiring and intense but I'm glad we have attended it before fixing a marriage date unlike many couples who registered for EE as part of their marriage procedure.

It's funny because we were quarrelling until 1am on Friday morning and had to face each other for the next 3 days 2 nights. Fortunately, EE did not break us but instead it strengthened our relationship and helped us manage our differences much better.

Thank Lord for seeing us through a wonderful EE session.

Keeping the Faith in ♥

Of late, dearie and I have been quarreling often. We have many differences and we are trying hard to manage that. He told me this morning that I'm someone who needs a lot of emotional affection because I'm too influenced by K-dramas. All the little things will just touch and move me and I yearn for that in real life. And I have high expectations of love being reciprocated. I need something back whenever I do something for him.

Since young, I was brought up in a negative environment. My mother always compares me to my sister. I'm always the stupid one. My mother never praises me ever but that's her nature. During a recent quarrel, she mentioned that she had never have expectations of me.That hurts. Till now it still does. Adding to it, my previous relationship where I was cheated so badly of my love and money has also shaped me for who I am now.

Words of affirmation and acts of service are my love languages. Kind words and appreciation and expressing love by little actions would make me feel loved. Gone are the morning drives to fetch me to my first class during weekend, spontanteous hugs and kisses, calls to say good morning or occasional calls in office.... He always criticises that I'm a sucker for romanticism; I have a soft spot for surprises. Seriously, it's really not in the surprises but the painstaking efforts and time needed to plan and execute them. I feel touched and loved that way.

I'm having less faith in our relationship each day but I will continue to pray for guidance and love. We are going for our Engage Encounter session this weekend. Hopefully, the Lord will see us through and bless us with more patience and understanding. Amen.

내 첫 발렌타인데이...

14 February 2013 - my first Valentine's Day. It came and went pretty quietly, just like any normal day. Only a bouquet of flowers which I didn't expect as I know dearie is not a romantic person.

We had dinner at a foodcourt and went back to his house for his usual ChannelNewsAsia TV update. He said we would have a nice dinner over the weekend. He was busy checking out the new Ocean restaurant at Resorts World Sentosa but the dinner never happened.

Well, I was not surprised. But a part of me was disappointed...

A survey in London reported that 87% of women would yearn to receive a heartwarming hug from their partner on V day.
I would like that too.

발렌타인데이 축하해!

Surprise bouquet from dearie!

새해 복 많이 받으세요!

Kung Hei Fat Choy, Happy Chinese New Year! May 2013 brings you the wisdom, ambition and gracefulness that the snake signifies!

Though this year does not seem a good year for me (forecasts and predictions tell so!), but I will keep my chin up and remain positive!

Snakehead in Chinatown! Cute!!!
