Thanks for coming over again

You have other possible options to take for spending your holiday.

Yet you came to visit me once again.

Thank you for coming. I really had a great time.

Now its back to work for me.

I call it perfect divine timing of how God arranged this trip for us.

Before you came I was meant to work for the weekends, both of them while you were here.

But somehow the it got cancelled due to people not responding emails and planning the weekend.

Then came another weekend where I was supposed to go over to Melbourne for a social meeting/reward because our team worked real hard during Easter.

But somehow my boss told me not to go because you were here.

Then came yesterday that I took off so I could spend the last full day with you.

It happened that the guys planned a last minute semi night shift which could have disabled me from sending you to the airport.

If I had gone to work yesterday I would not been able to send you off to the airport.

I reckon we are blessed this trip for such awesome timing.

Even though the period was only slightly more than a week, I've gotten to know you much more as I'm sure have you, through quality times, fun times and occasional argument times =)

Already missing you.

See you in 3.5 months time.

That's my girl friend! ^^

Pre-1st Anniversary

Today was not the day of our 1st year anniversary...

But we decided to celebrate it today cause we won't be in the same location on the 30th of July.

Richard brought me to this really nice fine dinning place and a view of the Auckland Habour..

After circling the city for parking and paying for a really expensive one!! Richard gave me a surprise when he walked to the back of the car and brought out a gift.. I thought he was going to give me another bouquet of flowers.. BUT I WAS SO WRONG!

He gave me an even better gift!

A diamond bracelet bought with his HARD-EARNED money... 

 Here are some pictures of the bracelet taken with my very LOUSY photography skills...

Anyway, back to dinner..

Richard said the night was on him and that I didn't have to worry about the price.. 

and that I could order my long craved fresh oysters!! (which I did! and they were heavenly!!)

The main course were yummy!

The dessert was delightful!!

It was an unforgettable night... 

my only regret is that i did not bring along my camera to capture those memories.. =(

Thanks Richard!!!

I'm blessed and spoiled!

p.s. I know this wont happen every year..

=)

Answered Prayer

Today's the day!

Such a relieve to find out that the ashes had died down a little across NZ/Australian air.

The day before we were praying hard that it would cleared up so that flights for Pacific Blue could resume.

The next day our prayers got answered. It was the first day in weeks that they started flying again. Wohoo. Thank you Lord.

Looking forward to your arrival :)

Annoying Ashes....

How annoying can it be that a volcano had to erupt so badly that it can potentially affect Shannon's trip to Auckland! Something that I have been looking forward to all week....

ROAR..!!!!

Went around looking for forecast of the ashes but it seems that there is still no way to see if its flying is possible for pacific blue this Sunday..

See Link to NZ herald headlines 16-6-2011

I guess all we can do now is just pray.. and probably look around for Air NZ flights instead.

7 more days

I'm excited!

7 more days before Shannon flies in.

My Surprise!

Woke up this morning to find a letter near the telephone in the house im currently living it...

it was a letter from Auckland!!!

I turned the letter around and saw it was sent from a very familiar address and I smiled and grinned!

The letter totally made my day!!! 

and the content of the letter shall remain between just the 2 of us! =P

Another reason why I love Richard.... he has his romantic side of him! =)

This the love letter i received!!!  (with my address removed!)

Arduino Uno arrived!

My Ardruino Uno came today!!

This is probably how Shannon feels when her online shopping goods arrive.

I feel excited and happy.

Going to start making stuff IF i get the time to.

The arduino is a cheap development board used for developing what I considered as "toys"

It can be used to make all sorts of cool gadgets.

But to me most of all it's something that I enjoy doing...

(i guess I'm really a geek ^^ )

Happy day~ oh happy day~
