Sugar & Spice

I've been waiting so anxiously for days. 

Couldn't take my mind off it. Couldn't stop thinking about it.

Every second of the drive back home was agony. 

My heart's pumping so fast I thought I was gonna faint. @.@

But I did not. I managed to go through all of the sweet surprises inside. =)

From Columbus with Love =)

*drumrolls*

The box rang a bell ... but not until ...

*
*
*

OMG!!!!! Macarons all the way from PISTACIA VERA!!!
*gasps with excitement*

*
*
*

All 12 of them!!!

They  were a little bit crushed, but still looked really cute. T.T
I didn't think that you'd think of sending me macarons.
I thought I'd be getting chocolates/flowers like everyone else.
(I still think chocolate's the best food in the world)
But macarons never crossed my mind.
And they just made everything so special. =)

A pretty box with  ...

*
*
*

... My name on it. =)

A pretty box personalized just for me.
I know you made the tag yourself, and I always love it when  you make me these little things for me. =)
Now I have a lovely box for our keepsakes. ^^

So ... what's inside the box ... ?

*
*
*

Taaadaahhhh!
It's a Bear-in-a-Box! =)

*
*
*

... It reminds me of a cute little dog and balloons. Lots of balloons. =)

*
*
*
Up next ... 

Ohno ... is that what I think it is???
*gasps*

*
*
*

It's beautiful ... =(
I stared at it for so long before I could bring myself to hold it.

*
*
*

Here's little bear with lots of Love. =)

And here's little bear with lots of Love for me. =)

Thank you for being the sweetest, Love.
I miss you dearly and I Love You. *hugs & kisses*


Happy Valentine's Day.

Happy 2nd Anniversary, Baby. =)

Bittersweet

I've never really loved coffee. 
Really. The only coffee I like are frappuccinos. 
And it has to be caramel frappuccinos. 
And it's not even real coffee.
It's some made up stuff with some caffeine from Starbucks.


The last time I had real coffee was an espresso shot.
We had to add sugar, creamer AND a cup of water divided among the 3 of us. 
We were on a school trip and it was late at night.


This time, I had free white coffee. 
Not those sweet ones in packets, as in, real bitter white coffee.
Well, it was free so I chose free coffee over free tea.
Just because I thought coffee would suit my cake better than tea.


After two packets of brown sugar, I gave up. 
It still didn't taste as good as my usual caramel frapps.
So I digged in to my cake. And then I had to drink something.
So I took a sip of it. And then I took another spoon of the cake.
It tasted sooooo good.
I took another sip. Then another bite of cake. 
And another sip. And another bite.


I couldn't stop myself. 
Indulgence. I savoured every sip and every bite. 
That was Bittersweet indeed.

1/2 a Year

6 months with autistic children.
Regrets? 
No.
Actually, scratch that. 


Regrets? Yes. AND No.


Yes to being cooped up in a stinky shit hole.
Yes to working nights.
Yes to stress and stress and stress.
Yes to challenging my limits (blaaaaardy kids).
Yes to a boss who expects us to devote ourselves 24/7.
Yes to barely-up-to-par wages to make it up for all that.


But then, comes those magical moments, making you regret that you ever regretted. 


So...
No to the blaaaardy wonderful kids.


Yes, no to the kids. The kids. The kids.
Just the kids.
That's all it takes. To regret that you ever regretted. 
Every Smile and Laughter, Every Touch;
They never fail to surprise you.


Those are the magical moments, that I'll never forget; 
Moments that made me realise that I was weak and they've made me strong. 
Magical Moments that've kept me going on when I felt like giving up.
Out of everything, I would've never ever regretted having met them. 


Three cheers to life and living it!

I Love Baby Food ! ^^

Chocolate ... oooooohhhh ... best food in the world.
Chocolate ... an aphrodisiac ... it makes you feel better whenever you're unhappy.

One day, baby gave it to another unhappy baby and said: "Will some baby food make you smile?"

So, apparently, now it's also baby food and it certainly made the baby happy! :P

"Just The Way You Are I Likie" =P

I was studying halfway and a message popped up:

"... Just the way you are I likie :D "

The free tissue box, the signboard that has my name on it that you made ...

Haaaaaa ... These little surprises every day make my heart melt. ^^

中秋节快乐

美国时间二零一零年九月二十二号---二零一零年八月十五中秋节，没买月饼，没提灯笼，没吃团圆饭。。。有点伤心 @.@

晚上十点下班一个人在巴士站等夜车回家，开始想念遥远的马来西亚还有家人朋友。。。

不过幸亏，回到家的时候Jiaying妈妈竟然还在客厅等我。她说刚才那顿饭留了很多饭菜给我，还有糖水和一包吃剩的月饼。
真的有点感动。。。

后来Jiaying妈妈上楼睡觉了，我自己一个人坐在餐桌上吃饭，旁边开了一盏小灯。
好像很凄凉。 =.=

吃了饭，就吃了一块杏仁月饼。。。感觉味道怪怪。
很想念跟爸爸妈妈妹妹一起吃锦轮泰金腿月饼。。。
后来吃了一碗木耳莲子糖水。。。也是感觉少些东西。
后来仔细看了一下，少了我最爱的白果。
想到妈妈突然想要哭。。。

唉。。。真是每逢佳节倍思亲。。。

I Miss You Babe~ =)

I could stay awake just to hear you breathing
Watch you smile while you are sleeping
Far away and dreaming
I could spend my life in this sweet surrender
I could stay lost in this moment forever
Well, every moment spent with you
Is a moment I treasure

I don't wanna close my eyes
I don't wanna fall asleep
'Cause I'd miss you, babe
And I don't wanna miss a thing
'Cause even when I dream of you
The sweetest dream will never do
I'd still miss you, babe
And I don't wanna miss a thing

Lying close to you
Feeling your heart beating
And I'm wondering what you're dreaming
Wondering if it's me you're seeing
Then I kiss your eyes and thank God we're together
And I just wanna stay with you
In this moment forever, forever and ever

I don't wanna close my eyes
I don't wanna fall asleep
'Cause I'd miss you, babe
And I don't wanna miss a thing
'Cause even when I dream of you
The sweetest dream will never do
I'd still miss you, babe
And I don't wanna miss a thing

I don't wanna miss one smile
I don't wanna miss one kiss
Well, I just wanna be with you
Right here with you, just like this
I just wanna hold you close
Feel your heart so close to mine
And stay here in this moment
For all the rest of time
