And sooooooo...it is my birthday week!

Shall start with updates starting last week.

Went for an interview at PA (People's Association) last Wednesday, as an Assistant Constituency Manager. Was interviewed by a panel of 5 interviewers! Gawd...I swear I stopped right in my tracks (and appeared shocked/stunned) when I opened the door to the Conference Room and saw all 5 of the interviewers seated there. But everything went well! In fact, one of my best interviews by far. The atmosphere was relaxing and light-hearted. I think I did pretty well! Hehs...

Friday saw me attending a series of tests at MOE (Ministry of Education). This was prior to the interview for a Corporate Communications Executive. I sat in the room for 2 whole hours typing away on a computer and finished the soooooo GP-ish tests, much to my own amazement. There were 3 parts to the test: Media Analysis, Writing and Article Translation (from Chinese to English). Darn pround of myself. Hahs...rushed home to change outta formal wear and meet my girls for dinner at Swensens! Food was great, but the company was even better. Has been more than 2 months since we last met!

I love Saturdays! Saturdays spell L.O.V.E! Caught Accuracy of Death with my Hubby and both of us thought that it was pretty good! I seriously recommend it! Then, we headed over to HK Cafe along East Coast Road for dinner. We simply love the food there hehs...back to our love-nest after that, as usual. =)

The following Sunday, Daddy and Mummy bought me a pair of diamond earrings from Taka Jewellery for my birthday present! Woots! Sings: diamonds are a girl's best friends...

And I spent my birthday eve with my beloved girls! Did a little shopping with YY before that and I bought my sandals at NOVO for half the price! Whee! Saw Cookie Monster and Elmo along the way!

Met the rest of the girls at Pasta de Waraku at Marina Square for dinner. The food wasnt too bad, but the serving was way too small!

Headed over to Cafe Cartel for desserts and girly chit-chat sessions over sinfully yummylicious desserts! Chocolates make us happyyyyyy!

Beautiful memories of the beautiful day!

And then, I think all of us did the craziest thing ever. Although we have to admit that we are getting old, the whole lot of us went over to Diana's house for mahjong and wii (screams!) until 3am! Haha...and my sweetie pies sang a birthday song for me when all 9 of us were squeezed inside the lift on the way up to Diana's house as the clock struck 12am. How cozy is that? Hehs...they are the sweetest things ever!

We went gaga over wii! The wii craze teeheehee...

Birthday was spent with my Hubby! It was a really simple affair as I didnt wanted anything lavish. We went window-shopping, had a nice dinner and went for his favourite desserts at Ahhhhh Chew haha...he's a fan of their desserts, definitely. Hubby bought me the novel P.S. I Love You! Have been wanting to read that since ages ago because we missed the movie when it was screened. He wants the book to keep me company while he's away in Nepal! And along with that, he bought me a pretty pretty diamond necklace from Citigems! Sings again: diamonds are a girl's best friends...

Hubby came over to my house on Thursday and we spend some simple time together, slacking around and watching Music and Lyrics. Then, he headed for tuition while I went to meet my HRM mates for dinner. Dinner was a simple affair, and we settled down at Bar-Ra-Cuda along Boat Quay for a drink-and-chill session. The best part was, we caught fireworks there! And I choose to believe the fireworks were to celebrate my birthday although it's one day later haha...had a great time together! And the live band there was pretty good!

Beloved YY bought me my favourite oversized sunnies! Perfect for the sunny weather!

Went over to Hubby's house for lunch and get-together on Friday as he's flying off to Nepal the following day, which is our usual dating Saturday. Sighs...and he will be gone for a good 3 weeks. And today is only my second day without him. This is terrible haha...but I can live with it. After all, it's his graduation trip and he's there to enjoy himself. See you 3 weeks later, Hubby! =)

Met up with good old Lionel the dodo yesterday! He brought me to Astons Specialities along East Coast Road for late lunch. Both of us were equally late haha...it was my first time at Astons and it's a rather cozy place for a meal. The food wasnt too bad either.

Then, we headed over to Parkway for shopping. Spent most of our time at Borders looking through the novels. And I couldnt resist buying this pen and pencil that I saw in the store! I have a fetish for anything with stripes, floral motifs and polka dots!

This is Lionel the dodo! Good friends since the JC days. And this is his debut appearance in my blog haha...this friend of mine has defnitely gotta be a god-send gift. Always there for me, no matter what. And we can talk about anything under the sun! Cheers to our friendship!

My last present this year! Pretty pretty earrings from Lee Hwa!

Thanks to everyone who made an effort to make my birthday a special one this year. You know who you are, I do not have to elaborate. Thanks for the gifts, the well-wishes through SMS and Friendster. Blissed and blessed to have a loving family, a doting Hubby and sweeter-than-sugar friends!

Received a call from PA on Friday and they have accepted me! Whee! I kinda like the job scope as it's pretty challenging and vibrant. They are going to pay me reasonably well for my job but the only concern is that, my off days are not going to be fixed on Saturdays and Sundays. Which means, I am going to work on some Saturdays and some Sundays! But I guess, this isnt going to be too much of a problem for me. If MOE doesnt get back to me soon enough for my test results, I will probably take up PA's offer! Yes! Hehs...I'm excited over my new working life!

I will be keeping myself occupied so that 3 weeks will be over in a wink! =)

090508 - K...T...V!

KTV-ed with the usual KTV clique! It was great fun catching up with the EEE girls and MAE girl hehs...

100508 - Our date with the flowers at Botanic Gardens!

Went to the Botanic Gardens with my precious! We had great fun looking at the pretty flowers, looking at people, strolling amidst the greenery, snapping pictures away and feeding the mosquitoes! Haha...it was a nice date for the both of us!

120508 - Baking day at Chef Zikai's house!

Got up bright and early at 7am and headed to Bukit Batok to learn baking from Zikai, together with the Wong sisters! We baked cheesecake and cookies which turned out to be pretty good! Zikai was super patient in his coaching! Thanks, Chef Zikai! Hehs...Headed down to my precious' house with my fruits of labour for the day and he was definitely over the moon! Eating has gotta be his favourite activity!

Got a job offer after my interview today, but I am not sure if I should take it up as I have 2 more important interviews to attend on Wednesday and Friday. But I'm being forced/pressurized to sign the contract within this week. Sigh. Dilemmas. Choices. Arghhhhhhhhhhhh!

Today's FYP presentation really marked the END of my 4 years in NTU.

No hassle at all over the final presentation. Everything was cool! Each FYP presentation was entitled to a 30 minutes time slot with their respective professors and we were done in 20 minutes! Cool thing.

Before the presentation started...

My cranky partner, Miss Wong Yee Yong!

Yours truly, the future OL! Haha!

We serve as pretty good advertisements for our school, agree? Hehs!

Said my last goodbye to NTU. Till Convocation in July!

I do not need a special day...to express how I feel for my Mr Chek!

He is my one and only who...

never fails to remind me how much he loves me everyday.

never let go of my hand.

accepts me for who i am.

withstands my missy temper.

takes pictures with me even though he doesnt really like snapping pictures.

protects me and pampers me.

gets along well with my family and is soooooo well-liked by all of them.

wants to give me, and give us, a good future.

enjoys eating ice cream with me.

gives me advice whenever needed.

shares his past, present and future with me.

glues me to my phone and my msn every day, every night, everytime.

makes me happy and smile like a silly girl.

never fails to compliment me every single day.

makes me so proud of him.

puts in 200% effort in our relationship.

endures long rides to and fro just to be with me.

i really want to spend the rest of my life with.

i love, with all my heart.

I have been spending quality time with my precious for the last few days , right after the exams. Every day spent with him is definitely treasured and we are trying to squeeze in more time for each other before he goes on his graduation trip to Nepal for 3 whole weeks! Oh gawd...I cannot imagine 21 days without him! But the good thing is, he made a huge, huge effort to leave after my birthday! Which is uber YAY-ness! Whee!

We came back from family dinner last night to celebrate Chek Papa's birthday! A simple affair, but heart-warming. We even sang KTV together at home! How cool is that? Teeheehee...After which, my boy came over to my house for Ben and Jerry! Hehs...Tampines and Jurong are our happy love nest! =)

Meeting my boy for dim sum buffet tomorrow! Yums!

Good night, world!

Finally finished my final paper in NTU!

It was an emo emo day.

Mixture of feelings, whirl of thoughts.

Took pictures outside the examination hall with my usual NTU clique!

I thought I would be elated after my final paper. Yet, I felt abit lost and...empty. Four years just flew by...and just when I am just starting to get used to everything, I have to leave everything behind and familarize myself with another different environment soon. Well, I guess this is life, isnt it? Moving on and accepting changes.

Sent in applications. Crossing my fingers!

Despite of the muggings for the previous 3 weeks, I managed to spend some time with my precious!

Loving you has made my life so B.E.A.U.T.I.F.U.L!
