Updates of my life

Finally decided to update my life for the past few months... Seriously my life is going under a major change this year. For the better of cuz.. Hee.. I hope life will get better and better from this year onwards...

Everything kinda fall in place when we saw the flat that we liked on the 28th Feb.. Then seems like we have to get married in case we dun manage to book a date for ROM.. Hmmm.. So on 2nd Mar, we went to book a date for our ROM for the 22nd Apr. We even went to get our wedding package from Bridal Concept.. Hee.. Seems like everyting is done backwards.. Hee.. Get flat, book ROM, Proposal.. Hahahaha...

Over the weekend, after Family Fun Day in 14th of Mar, Shang proposed to me after i got back to the chalet.. I was very very touched.. He kept his promise of proposing.. Hahaha.. SO happy.. He said he went ard Sentosa to find flowers but he din manage to find any shop that sells flowers... hee.. SO i will still be waiting for my flowers for this year..

He dirtied the chalet floor.. hahaha.. but i must say his handwriting not very nice when he writes with a brush... :P

My proposal ring but hor, too small.. hahaha.. So went back to change it yday.. And we got our wedding bands too yday but all rings can only be collected on the 26th of Mar.. (the day for the HDB first Appt) hee..

After the proposal, we just went out to walk walk and take some crappy pictures.. Quite cute hor?

I was kinda disappointed with the Sakae Sushi at Sentosa. The grilled unagi was cold when it was served.. Then after that we let some guest take our seats so the supervisor gave us a 10% disc.. And i commented on the way they serve the food.. Hee.. Shang says i am too particular..

I look forward to our ROM on the 22nd of APr and i will update after that.. hee..

Our free makeover shots

We went for a complimentary makeover and photo shoot today.. hee.. not much make over for shang cuz they just styled his hair (though i think he can style it better himself) hee.. But the photo shoots were quite fun and abit tiring.. Cant imagine if we go for wedding shots.. haha..
But overall, we only had 2 complimentary shots la.. They wanna earn the money if i wan all pics! $500 for all the shots!! I must be mad if i accept the offer.. hahaha.. so too bad, only got 2 nicest shots..
Next time wedding, must make sure we get the best deal and if possible, get all the shots back..

记叙你生活中难忘的一件事

There was an asg that i had to do on this topic.. So in the end, i wrote this essay as it was the closest to my mind.. Shang said i will definitely get affected as i write this essay.. I thought i wont but i guess Shang knew better.. Of course.. I still miss her a lot..

由于家庭环境的关系，父母需要外出工作养家，极少照顾我，也因如此，照顾我的责任落在了我几位姐姐及哥哥的肩上。就连学校的“家长日”，他们也从未出席。我常常哀求他们到学校看一看我的学习环境，妈妈的回答总是：“你又没做错事，就不用去了。”
我的母亲一直都在当清洁工，也曾换过几个工作地点。一有机会，我便会到她工作的地方找她。也许，这是因为我想更靠近她，想更了解她的工作环境。我从不因为她的工作而瞧不起她，反而，我觉得妈妈很伟大。她的工作一点儿也不简单哦！
有一段时期，妈妈辞掉了清洁工作，留在家里替邻居带小孩。那时，我下课后，一回到家就能看到妈妈。但是不知为什么，那时候，我总觉得妈妈被厨房给“霸占”了。从我踏进家门，她在厨房择、洗，忙进忙出，做好吃的给家人……一刻都没休息过。有时，我会把宝宝放在摇篮里，哄他睡觉过后，我则在厨房门口睡着。
妈妈无需出外工作，在家当全职的“煮饭婆”兼“管家”。她在家的时间长了，我却少了。无论妈妈有没有工作，饭桌上的食物绝对会准时出现。一年三百六十五天，天天无休，晚餐日日送上。妈妈似乎很害怕孩子们饿坏，食物多得让人不敢恭维。天天都有剩菜剩饭，每天的晚餐都会有一两道昨天吃过的菜。
哥哥姐姐长大成家后，家里的经济情况有所好转。空闲时，妈妈会带我到牛车水逛街。我最喜欢这个时候了！妈妈最爱到奥奇商场去，不过，我极少看到妈妈在那儿买衣服或日用品。更多的时候，是我拿着可爱的绒毛娃娃不放，用恳求、渴望的眼神，使得妈妈不得不买给我。久而久之，我们只要一踏进奥奇，我的橱里就会多一个绒毛玩具。
妈妈很喜欢替我买连身裙，我衣橱里也只有一种服装款式，那就是连身裙。年纪稍大时，我不时向妈妈抱怨，为什么就是没有牛仔裤或短裤嘛？妈妈也因此不再买连身裙给我。取而代之的，是我喜欢穿的裤子。
2002年，妈妈患上了高血压，没几个月便患上了肾衰竭。她的病情没有好转，因为年纪大了，医生并不鼓励换肾手术。不久后，她得开始洗肾。需要每天洗肾的她，身体每况日下。当时，因为某种原因，我和姐姐一起住，爸爸妈妈则和大哥一起。我下课后便到大哥家探望妈妈。我觉得到大哥家很麻烦，回家的车程得花一个钟头！
2002年底，妈妈全身瘫痪。她只能躺在床上，时而能正常交谈，时而语无伦次。
2003年的某一天，我到医院探望妈妈。医院的走廊干净，地板光滑，空气弥漫着浓浓消毒水的味道。我乘坐电梯，到妈妈的病房里。只见她双眼无神，目光呆滞地望着医院的天花板。
我走上前，把书包放在地上，握起妈妈的手，在她身旁的椅子坐了下来。看着她躺在医院的病床上，一句话也不能回答我，此时，我不禁问自己：她心里到底在想什么？她知不知道我正在她的身边？已经无法言语的她，只能用手，紧紧地，紧紧地握着我。这或许是她告诉我，她意识里还知道我存在的讯息吧？我握着她冰冷的手，想把自己温热的体温传给她，想让她舒服点儿。也不知道医院的冷气是不是有问题，怎么妈妈的手是那么的冷，怎么无法让这双手温暖起来？
我握着妈妈的手，另一只手翻着小说。左手麻痹了，换右手握着妈妈。大概过了45分钟，我觉得不耐烦，想早点儿回家休息。我内心挣扎了好久，该回家还是该继续留下来陪妈妈？心理交战了许久，我站起身，打算离开了。我轻声地用闽南语跟妈妈说：“妈咪，我先回家了。我明天再来看你。”这时，我仿佛觉得妈妈的手握得更紧了。我轻轻拨开妈妈的手指，说：“我明天一定会再来看你。拜拜。”
她放开了。我提起书包往外走。我回头向她挥挥手，她把头转过来，看着我离去。在那一瞬间，我心里被某种钝物重重地撞了一下，心也如千斤重地沉了下去。她当时的眼神，深深地刻印在我的脑里。她多么不舍得我离开，她多么渴望我能多留一分钟，她多么希望我能掉头回去陪她。
只可惜，当时，我一边内疚自责，一边流泪离开了医院。至今，我还是无法忘怀那一天所发生的事。我不能理解我当时的举动，我为什么会抛下妈妈回家？我难道不能多陪她一会儿吗？我真的有很重要的事要做吗？

后记：
妈妈在2005年安详地在大哥的家里去世了。因为我无法忘记，所以我2006年在博客里写下了以下的一段文字。

思念
会侵蚀心灵
会令人陷入痛苦
会令人哭泣
在人多时，
我会思念你。
在夜深人静时，
思念更加剧烈。
每逢佳节倍思亲，
这是现在的心情写照。
我很后悔，
为什么从来都没跟你说，
你对我有多重要，
我很爱很爱你，
为什么我在言行举止上，
从来未曾表现出我对你有多么地尊敬，
多么地心疼你。
我的手，
始终留着你紧紧握着我的手的温度 我的眼，
始终留着你那慈祥溺爱我的脸庞
我的心，
始终留着你对我深深的教诲
记得你还在医院，
每当我离去时，
你那渴望我留下的眼神，
我的心会被你那眼神揪紧着。
你离开前的那一晚，
我怎么没有留久一点？
我怎么能在你离开前的最后一晚，
还与朋友去玩乐？
我怎么能？
怎么能？
做了这么多明知不可为而为之的事，
你会原谅我吗？
你会的，
我知道你一定会的。
因为，
你是我伟大的妈妈。

眼泪好咸，好烫， 烫伤了我的眼，我的心... ...

This is the comments given by my tutor.. （文章心理描写细腻，感情真挚动人，要是有标题，主题会更突出。）
And i scored 58/70.. not bad though.. considering that i din spend much time on this essay as i just wrote it as it comes..

Our first anniversary

We had our first anniversary lunch at vivo city Aji by Hanabi.. We splurge anyway.. It was a $120 set lunch with a scrumptious spread.. The food was good, ambience was good and company of cuz was fantastic.. Hee.. That was a very filling lunch.. Then in the end, we din really had space for dinner..
We wanted to go to Hort park for a walk however, there wasn't enough time as both of us were pressed for time to go back home to do asgs and all..

Our starter.. Miso soup..
This is marvellous sashimi!!! Yum Yum!!
The spread of food.. Seriously, i din know wat to eat first..
I asked the manager to help us take.. Hee.. Seem like National Day though..
My Present from Shang.. I managed to guess correctly the gift and even the colour!! hahaha.. Aren't I smart?

Bad thing though, is that I DID IT AGAIN!! I bought a PSP memory card which he already bought.. Luckily I bought mouse for him and i did a photo montage for him.. That montage was a saving grace.. Sigh.. Why cant i get anything correct for him ah??
