OK LAH! HEHE. 




Last Friday I kena UTI and fever, super jialad! 

Early morning wake up feeling super urgent to pee, but when I go toilet I realized I don't have much pee..immediately I know I'm getting UTI already. I kept drinking water hopefully will feel better but it only get worsen.

 Hubby early morning 7.45am cycle all the way to City-center help me buy medicine to help ease a bit of pain.

He made an appointment for me to visit GP (free healthcare) to get antibiotic, ended up the clinic don't issue medication but only prescription.. so Hubby got to cycle all the way to City-center (Boots)  again to get me the antibiotic, and then buy me some food too before he go to lab to do his work. *Appreciate* 

Later at night, my UTI improve slightly (but still quite urgent), super full with all the water I've drank to try to wash out all the bacteria, and so tired of keep running to toilet to pee... -.-"

Same day in the evening, I also kena fever at 38degree. I was really unwell and feel like I'm gonna die.. (arghhh)

Hubby rush home as early as he can to take care of me. Get me cold towel, prepare food for me and keep helping me to refill more water for me to drink.. I asked him to feed me my dinner cos I feel really sian and weak (omg worst feeling ever), and cos I really don't have the appetite to wanting to feed myself.

We spend weekend mostly resting and cuddling at home.. 

Chit chat a lot, talk about the past, talk about our ex(s), talk about the things we been through together and talk about our future.. 

Laughing at his funny actions and all the witty jokes he made to make me laugh.. :)

Hubby have been a great moral support to me and a hero to me when I needed him most.. yeah...I know, lucky me. 

The part where we share/gossips about our past experiences with our ex is damn 经典 one lol. Still can't stop laughing thinking about it.. those childish, lust and immature us. 

He kind of see me grow up, knew about my 初恋 all the way until my last mistake lol. And I also knew about his dirty secrets before we got together.. 

What past is past, we can only accept it and grow from it. 

I'm glad we ended up together even though its after one big round!

I still believe everything happen for a reason.. 
If we got together from the start, we may not end up marrying each other..right?

Now we both know we're the greenest grass for each other, 
isn't that great?

First holiday in 2013

We've booked our Paris trip already!

Decided to go for tour instead of Free & Easy because I'm lazy to plan iternary and we both agree its also for safety reasons. 

It will be a 4D3N trip, during the long PH holiday on 29 March (Good Friday) to 1st April (Easter Monday) with International Friends! 

Will be visiting the Paris Disneyland on one of the day.. Visit Eiffel tower, Versailles, Louvre Museum, Sightseeing cruise on River sein etc.. Want to try the Laduree macorons and hopefully buy cheap longchamp Le Pliage. 

Now Hubby already start to practice to be vigilant tourist liao haha! :D

Bad turned Good situation..

A cold morning, we went to Msia embassy london to collect my borang K and submit it to Sg embassy london for them to send to ICA Singapore. I want to get everything done even when we're in UK, so that I can totally, completely, fucking no need to worry about this citizenship issues that have been haunting me since don't know how many years ago anymore.. 

From when I was 21 years old and was told by the ICA receptionist who refuse to listen to my case clearly, saying that I need to work for at least 1 year before applying for Sg citizenship, so I left without applying anything.. get myself a job and work, for over 1 year. 

When I try to re-apply, I was told that I should have applied when I was 21 years old.. it will be much easier.. I was BORN IN SG, so by right I can apply it very fast with no hassle when I turned 21 and before 22. So, because of that stupid auntie, I end up have to apply for my Sg citizenship like the other foreign talent who was born else where. 

All the documentations shit, email shit, keep going to ICA shit.. really damn fucking irritating I tell you.. and that time we're worried we cannot get my passport and IC on time to fly UK, just waiting for document to process also need 6mths to 1year.. 

But there's this one person, who have been supporting me and helping me through out to get everything in place.. I can say if is without him, I probably wouldn't have completed my application, maybe I'd end up rather just stick to being Malaysian and apply for PR every 10 years.. (apply PR a lot faster, no hassle!) 

But then he just keep emailing and calling the ICA to rush them, act as my coordinator the whole time to ensure everything were in place and on time.. so, I got my Sg passport and IC quite last min, but on time to fly UK in the end after so many mtrfcking steps... Everything also took us about 9 months. 9 months!!!! 

9 months of torturing I must say! 9 months of uncertainty! 

So, we basically had enough and really just want everything to faster be over. 

We went to London Msia embassy first, the place look a bit small but the feel is just like Sg's Msia embassy. Seen quite a lot of people at the waiting area, heard many speaking in Msia toned chinese lol. Many were approaching the only receptionist there but she was patience and serve 1 by 1. 

I was given a number to wait for it to be called.. so I waited and then not long after my number were called and I went to another room to collect my borang K, a bit worried that something is going to cock up, but ended up not much problem.. We were thinking "wah not bad quite smooth this time.." 

Then we need to submit to Sg embassy, thinking the most difficult and troublesome part is over.. just submit this document and we're free from all these trouble. But NO.. we were locked outside the door, have to tell the receptionist inside the embassy our purpose of visit through the intercom. So I told her we're here to submit Form K, she doesn't know what it is, and said that she have never heard of it in her life. (wtf?) 

She then wanted to send us off by saying "anyway, you need appointment", right after that she off the intercom. (wtf?!)

Long story cut short, ended up Hubby speak to her through the intercom and keep insisting to go in.. she then allow us to go in but super unwillingly, show us some cocky attitude by telling us that she is serving customer right now (that customer is the only customer inside the entire embassy, and the embassy is small until very kelian with only space for less than 10 seats), and because we've got no appointment made so she's not sure how long we gonna wait (really?! you need to spend how long to serve your that pathetic 1 customer?!) and she also not sure if she can help on our case because she have totally never heard of the Form K we're referring earlier on, so just take a number and wait. It is stupid to have number also since the place is so empty. 

I was really quite pissed by that ang mo receptionist attitude with her lack of knowledge and unwillingness to serve.. so I told Hubby why not we just leave, we can just wait until we return to Sg then submit to ICA by ourselves, or we just mail a copy by registered mail..

Hubby decided to stay since we're already there, so I just sit down and wait for him to handle it. 

Then got two new customers came in (don't have appointment one also), got served before us.

Hubby went over to the counter and ask "why is their number later but got served first? I am only here to submit document THATS ALL". Ang mo receptionist then serve Hubby and very hard to get this bitch to shut up and listen, but once she did and the moment she knew that we're only there to submit the document, and all they need to do is SEND BACK TO ICA SINGAPORE, THATS ALL. No follow up, no shit to stir, the ang mo receptionist immediately turned nice..

One part of the conversation, 

Stupid Receptionist: Ok so your wife have already renounce and gotten all her documents? 

Hubby: YES. She have already renounced. She has gotten all her document, her passport, IC, EVERYTHING. You don't have to give us anything. Now we just need to submit this document to you, and you just need to send it back to ICA Singapore, and THATS IT.  

Stupid Receptionist: Ok lovely. 
(She thought we're a trouble, but it is she herself who is not competent enough to handle our case, and still need Hubby to tell her what she need to do.)

Hubby: Have to certify true copy for us and send the copy to ICA Singapore. Original we will keep.

Stupid Receptionist: Oh if you need us to certify true copy for you, we charge for money.

Hubby: Yes SURE! Go ahead. 

Stupid Receptionist: And that will cost you 3 pounds you know? 

Hubby: Yes SURE! Go ahead. *Hand over 3pounds.*

Stupid Receptionist: Stunt look, oh ok. But we will send the document only by this Friday.

Hubby: Yes SURE! Go ahead!
(In his mind thinking: you want to send next year also not my problem as long as already submitted.) 

Stupid Receptionist: Stunt look again by how fast and 爽快 Hubby was reacting and totally not giving her any trouble at all. 
(Must be feeling damn lao kui now at how stupid she sound..)

Its funny how she sounded like 3pounds was a lot to us.. 3pounds to end all these shit, is definitely worth it.

At the end of everything, she even bother to do some service recovery on Hubby by telling him all the things he already know, trying to "act helpful" and provide information.

Too late Bitch, you should have early early shut up and listen.. not assuming things going to be very troublesome for you so you hide and push and refuse to serve and try to send people off by telling them they need appointment. 

I'm still angry, cannot deny. Because I find her very stupid, unhelpful and being such a asshole to us. It is Singapore Embassy London, should be very welcoming for the fellow Singaporeans who needed help and not pushing people off! What if a Singaporean mute/deaf person went over for help after being robbed? It is stupid and unwelcoming to have this locked door with Intercom thing entrance.. like super kiasi and refuse to help.. UNFRIENDLY.

Anyway, after the incident me and Hubby went on with our program.. 

We talk about everything that happened.. he was happy that at that very moment, I chose to respect his decision to stay and let him handle everything with me staying quiet without adding on to his stress..

I was surprise that I didn't stomp out also.. lol. I sit there, play with my phone while listening to their conversation, believing that my Hubby can handle it. 

Well...at that moment when he told me that, I realized I really have changed. But its a good change! I no longer let my emotion take over me and I am more fair to the people I love/who loves me. 

In the past I probably would have throw temper at him and find ways to blame him for it lol.. don't judge me lah that was in the past liao.. hee. 

But this time I didn't... I felt sorry for him... 

Not only felt sorry for him that he have to face shit people for me, but also because of the risk he take and the fear he felt when he take it..

When I told him why not we leave, actually he can just take the easy way out and leave.. No need to 低声下气 talk to the bitch, and also no need to risk going against my wish to leave or if let say the bitch didn't help us in the end, I might blame him for it.. So many disadvantages to stay, but he still risk it. 

Because he wants to get this thing done once and for all, because he wants me to be happy at the end result if everything went on well because of his perseverance..

I really admire him for it. Not just because the problem is solved, but because of the way he handle the problem. After we walk out of the Sg embassy, he kept saying sorry to me...because he thought I must be angry at him for insisting to stay.. But I didn't. 

I know very mushy but when he say sorry for the things he didn't have to apologies for, and I can really see his apologetic eyes and feel his fear.. I feel that I suddenly love this man more.. really feel that I should treasure him more (I already very love and treasure him liao, but I feel not enough). 

My husband is willing to let down all his ego for me, because he loves me. 

I hugged him when we were going down the long escalator to take train, and I can't help but cry... 

Part of me cry because of Joy..

Joy because I feel so bloody lucky that my husband love me so much, not only willing to settle shit problems for me but also care a lot about my feelings. 

Another part of me cry because of Sorry..

Sorry because I made him feel the need to apologies for the things he don't have to.. 

I told him about it but he is again so nice to me, and says that everything he did, is just want me to be happy..

Fulfilled Two, One more to go...

I've always wanted to travel when I was little, but didn't really have much chance.. But compared to some, I'm still consider lucky lah. :)

People always tell me that humans always find grass greener on the other side and that after they're back from other countries they always still feel SG is the best.. But no matter how much times I've heard someone telling me "SG is very safe, SG is very good, SG is very beautiful".. I know I still want to go out and see for myself.

I've always wanted to travel to places with 4 seasons to experience the coldness and changing scenes, places with beautiful buildings and not HDBs and modern private housings.. Something more historic, something more antique and different and "real". By real I mean I can see them in front of me, enjoy the weather and atmosphere and not seeing it from TV..  

Like the others, I have my own list of places I want to go before I mati. 
And the top 3 list is London, Scotland and Paris. 

Compared to people wanting to tour the whole of Europe, my wish very simple liao leh only 3 places and so specific.. and the reason why also damn simple, because I always see these beautiful places on movies! 

Those landmarks like Eiffel Tower, London Eye, Big Ben.. and those beautiful castles and lakes in romantic movies.. 

Actually I also want to visit Ireland, but somehow I want to see Scotland more because its more famous. LOL. Don't judge me!

Anyway...so until now I am really very happy that at the age of 24, I manage to fulfill 2 of my top list which is London and Scotland! Especially London, so many things to see and more food choice! 

But Scotland..  wasn't really what I expected it to be..or maybe we are just plain suay that few days keep meeting the "wrong people". I don't really want to talk about it anymore and would like those "bad memories" to fade off! I don't want to write about the bad incidents here to "remind" myself also..

I can only say that the place is extremely beautiful and worth a visit, but I wouldn't want to spend money to revisit again.. I am happy I went, no regrets really.. 

Especially the highlands tour, really very happy we went! Seen our first falling snow and piece of white land.. with beautiful lakes, snow capped mountains.. and loch ness. 

I'm very lucky. 

Next will be Paris.. I've read horrible stories of pickpockets and thieves, but it will not stop me from going... just need to be extra careful and vigilant.

Welcome 2013 with a big Hug!

Happy New Year everyone! 

2012 was great, and I believe 2013 will be even greater! 

Just back from Edinburgh and have been nua-ing at home with Hubby for the last 2 days.. He will be back to school tomorrow~


Ate nice fried carrot cake cooked by Hubby again today, he found a recipe and adjusted it to our liking.. The first time he cook this for me was before our trip to Edinburgh, and it taste really very good! This time even better with softer texture! He is damn proud of it and so happy that I love it so much, but really quite good leh.

I also found a new live UK TV channel online that can keep me entertained (for quite sometime I hope)! Hehe. Inspired by the channels we watch in hotel during our stay in Edinburgh, which was really good.. We watch Paranormal Witness every night together and I will pull him off bed to accompany me go toilet wee wee after that.. lol.

We always love watching tv together in hotel at night after a long day outside.. 

Will find time to talk about the trip soon..before I forget! 

Wasn't quite what I expected it would be, but overall we had fun and seen what we wanted to see!

More to be continue soon..

Good Night for now!

PS: Wish everyone around me had a brand new good start no matter how good/bad your 2012 was, look back on the lessons you've learnt, bring it along with you to 2013 and make it a better year ahead of you! :D
