Hi,

Just a quick question, what does it mean by "no visas in your old
passport will be cancelled."?

Thanks.

anniversary post.

ok since i dont have to work tomorrow and had to leave the boy's relatively early (like 11pm) coz the ang moh has to sleep so he can get up for work at some ridiculous time like 630 or something and he wants to fit a run in before that,
decided i would do this now.
otherwise i will never get to it and then it will all somehow be forgotten.

anywayyy.
so we already know (from previous post) that yesterday, the 9th of january 2010, was our first anniversary.

that being said,
i think it is VERY WORTH mentioning also,
that it was my FIRST ANNIVERSARY EVERRRR.

ARENT U ALL PROUD OF ME?!?!

well im very proud of myself.
iev never been past 9 months before!!!
and like that one was a long-distance relationship with a super idiot
(who now, incidentally, is a super famous dj why oh why did i break up with you jk pookie).

we werent going to do anything big,
because we wanted to get professional studio photos taken,
and that, if you have been following me on facebook,
costs a bomb.

after hearing my friends tell me about their 3k "bao ga liao" wedding packages which included things like 3 changes of outfits for the couple,
studio photography,
outdoor photography,
wedding day photography,
wedding dinner photography,
2 albums,
and all the negatives...

we (or i) tried looking at the singapore photo studios' work.
coz the boy and i are back in singapore in march so if we can save a few k, why not right?
(for couples lah ok not for wedding)
.
and uh,
bar the pictures ive seen of my married friends (of course i like theirs lah right if not i wont ask them about their package),
they ALL looked like shit.

at least the ones these studios are advertising on their website.

so it was http://www.vivaphotography.com/ for us.
at least for this occasion.

so uh, where was i.

oh costs a bomb. right.

so we didnt do anything big for christmas,
i got him a ps3 game he got me svu dvds,
and this is how yesterday went.

11am
brekky at cafecafe.
the boy's "local" (i say local because its pretty damn atas or should i say EX for a locallocal cafe) cafe.
hadnt been there in a while so we thought it'd be a nice treat.



i dont understand why the iphone's camera has such near default focus.

better.

"you're not even looking at the camera".

better?

i think we've been to cafecafe like at least 5 or more times now.

and ive only ever eaten this.

bagels with scrambled eggies and bacon.

boy had some breakfast plate.

fucking cheesie toast is sooooo gross omggggg i fucking hate cheese i know im abnormal shuddup.

130pm

house inspection 1

boy has been looking to buy a unit/apartment for a few months now,

cept we havent been very successful so far coz all the units in his price range are like fuck.

this house was the first we actually saw and went "hmm we could live here. we really COULD live here".

price also slightly less than he was plannin on spending.

2pm

house inspection 2

*walks around the unit*

ok. lets buy the first one.

by 3, the boy had signed papers and whatnot, and now we're just waiting for the owner to accept the offer, and get finance approval.

and then got to pay like 20% down payment =//////

FUCKING AUSTRALIA GET CPF DUMBASSESSSSSSS.

4pm-5pm

shopping in city.

*for something something im not allowed to say*

ask me in a year.

or something.

5pm-730pm

pretty sure we did nothing back at his place.

but now i cant remember.

SEE I TOLD U I WOULD FORGET BAHHHBAHHHBAHHH.

8pm

dinner at oliver's in northbridge.

thanks to sarah's suggestion =)

the absolute best fucking table bread with olive oil and balsamic. ever.

we chomped that down way too quickly.

thats why there's only 2 in this photo.

meat lover's pizza is gross =/
i hate all meat lover's pizzas.

i dont care where its from.

pasta on the other hand,

i can eat forever.

any kind.

as long as it has no cheese on it.

did i mention i hate cheese?

10pm

went back to my place to try and find my black shorts for today's photoshoot.

i thought they were at the boy's coz i tried lookin for them at mine but couldnt find them anywhere.

could swear i looked everywhere but apparently i didnt look in the LAUNDRY BASKET that had all my clean washing in it still coz i was too lazy to fold it the other day.

good boyfriend. clever boyfriend.

11pm

back to his place.

2am

boy cant sleep therefore i cant sleep either.

decide to go 24 hour chemist and get me some throat shit coz my throat's been fucking up again and it was hurting like shit last night.

230am

his car overheats and starts motherfucking SMOKING.

we walk to the pharmacy up the road,

get my shit (cb, 29$ for lozenges and mouthwash or gargle or whatever. cb),

ask the pharmacist to help us with getting a tow company number,

and call towtruck.

3am

tow truck arrives,

somehow gets the car up (tow trucks are amazing),

takes us home

4am

sleepo.

-----------------------------------------------------------

today we had to take a cab back to my place so we could get my car.

boy suggested walking to the studio which is like maybe 1.5km or less from his place,

but with all our changes of clothes there was no way i was going to walk there and rock up to the place looking like shit.

came home,

got ready,

and off we went.

we expected our photographer to be the guy we met the other day at the studio when we went in to buy our voucher book (pay 450$ u get a book of shit, but what we wanted was the 1k voucher).

except today when we got there,

we got CHRISTOFF FROM FRANCE!!!

lollllllll.

he was good though.

oh,

for all of you who always complain that my photos have to be taken from a 45degree angle downwards, and that i have to CHECK my photos after taking them,

OUR PHOTOGRAPHER DID EXACTLY THAT TODAY OKAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

he take take take like 10 shots,

then he say ok let me check.

and he also stood on a mini ladder so his shots were taken lookin down on us.

SEEEEEEEEEEEE.

before today we were hell scared we werent gonna get any nice shots

(we all know how fussy i am).

when we did the viewing,

the goodness knows how many photos that were taken during the 45-min session were cut down by christoff to like 30 or so (i think) that werent NG shots.

cutting down to like 20 was easy.

then to 10 was like mmmm ok.

then coz they're so bluddy ex and we only really wanted to use that 1k voucher and not pay anything above that,

we had to make hard decisions.

in the end we got 6 8 by 10 photos that we absolutely LOVED to bits,

but had to pay an extra 320$.

so all up really we paid 770$ for our photos.

its not something we'll be doing again this year,

but the photos are amazing,

and we cant wait to see them.

----------------------------------------------------

i love you,

and i cant wait to look back 10 years down the road and wear the same smiles we did today.

ok i know i havent been blogging half enough lately.
i dunno why also.

i was thinking maybe its coz nothing interesting happens anymore,
but then thats not true.

so i put it down to my laziness.
yet again.

anyway.
happy new year to one and all.
to whoever the hell still bothers to check up on this blog
(sutcliffe you are not counted).

christmas pics here

it was an average one i suppose.
just like the one other christmas i spent in perth in all my 8 or however many years ive been here.

had lunch at sizzler,
which cost an exhorbitant 80$AUD per person for a semi-decent buffet "spread".

of course,
NOTHING compared to the buffets we get in singapore for 37.50$SGD or whatever.

fucking restaurant made like almost 600$ just from our table alone.

it was gdamn hot on christmas like 40 deg or something retarded,
so the boy wanted to swim so we used the pool.

i have not stepped into that pool for i dunno. more than a year or 2 i imagine.

having to use a towel to dry off and then walking wet on the carpet and having to use another towel after i shower just seems like too much effort.

then we did nothing for the rest of the night.
except sweat, of course.

new years eve was no exception.
it was kinda like.
oh, its 12. happy new year honey.

done.

perhaps it woulda been a bit more exciting if i had been out getting molested by banglas and he'd been molesting bikini-wearing women.

ah well maybe next year.
