Richard's Birthday Present

A few weeks ago, I was really excited ... I was excited about how Richard would react when he saw the gift I got for him. I envisioned him wearing the gift everyday...

However, today my excited was washed away when Richard showed me what his parents lovingly gave him for his birthday.


What are the chances that a girlfriend gets her boyfriend the exact same thing as his parents did??

The same item-watch. The same brand- Seiko.


I cried after seeing that he got. I'm not mad at anyone. Just sad that now the watch will be sitting in the drawer  every alternate week....

What are the chances?!!

I came home from bible study today,

and mum came into my room with dad,

in her hand was a box wrapped up in silver paper.

I was thrilled to received it.

At the same time I was on skype with Shannon,

excited I told her I'm going to open it in front of her.

As I was slowly ripping the wrapper apart,

her tiny eyes were getting bigger..

and she yelled "O.M.G!!"

I have received a really expensive Seiko watch from my parents...

at that point I realised that Shannon was about to cry..

I asked her why and she brought a box similiar to the one I had...

Yes, you're right....

It was another SEIKO watch...

something that she has been saving up for and spending all her hard earned money on...

I'm really touched that my parents and Shannon loves me so much..

Even though I have received two Seiko watch ( they're not identical btw, thanks GOD)

I will treasure both of them as much.

 When I'm in Melbourne I will rotate them so that I get to wear both of the watches.

Once again, thanks mum and dad for the watch....

you guys really shouldn't have gotten me such an expensive watch....

Also to my love,

You gave up all your bonus to buy such a beautiful watch for me. 

you earned so little, yet you gave up your hard earned money for me.

you have no idea how touch I am....

you have no idea........

to me, it's the thought that counts.... 

I love you.

Moving on

Today at work , Stan told me that he has got confirmation from HR and boss that he can now officially be transferred to Melbourne. All these while he's been telling me that its very likely that he will ONLY go over end of the year. Guess I'll be the only graduate in Invensys Auckland now...bummer.

But I am also happy for him...

Hope that I would be able to get a job in Melbourne when I go over there...

PS: Stan's the other graduate that sits next to me at work...we get along pretty well and he's one year my senior.

Looking Forward

I look forward to seeing Richard in February
I look forward to finally spending quality time with Richard
I look forward to Richard moving in to Melbounrne in a few months time
I look forward to CHANGING THE TITLE OF THIS BLOG!!

I look forward to ending this long distance relationship....




























 and turn it to a short distance one... LOL

I love you ?

We say that many times to each other....

The first few times we hear it is so nice...

but after a while we could be just saying it out of habit....

That's when we should pick up the bible and look at what Paul writes about love in Corinthian:

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. ⁵ It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. ⁶ Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. ⁷ It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. 

1 Corinthians 13:4-8

Perhaps we are struggling at this point of time because of our distance..

2 years apart isn't a thing many people can go through...

We know that we're both loyal to each other...

but I sense we're struggling...

But the end point is near...

it's like the two guys who survived the pike mine coal tragedy..

I watched on the news that one of them fainted, yet the other one was conscious and helped the other person out..

Exhausted he carried him in the darkness..

until finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel...

We might be just like them...

but we can still make it out of the tunnel if we fight harder together..(not literally of course)

Just another 1 month before I see you.

and another 5 months before I can finally live near you...

and then we can change the title of this blog to something else...

a new season for us will begin.

So hang in there...

and sorry for the dropping my standards from the first year..

if you've ran out of energy...

just let me know again then I can still carry you out this tunnel.

unless of course if I've ran out of energy too...

then perhaps someone else will come and save us...

but for now I still have strength...

and I will work harder again for us.

as I understand the gravity of the situation....

but i don't think its still too late.

I love you. 

Remind me

Remind me to tell you the "Ah Chong" joke when we chat online the next time k?

Hehe..

REMIND ME!!!

End of 2011

Thank God I had tonight off..

Working 12-13 hours the pass few nights have been killing my social life..

as all I wanted to do each morning after I finish work is sleep and stay at home.

Tonight was a night off and so we had a party at our Noel's place (aka Kung fu Panda)

The food was amazing! Vanessa who is Noel's wife prepared an amazing feast for us and I was delighted.

 

Some of Invensys and Kiwirail guys/gals

Stan ( the other asian grad), Noel (boss) and his wife, Simon (UK tester with dodgy T shirt), and me.

After enjoying the feast at the Burton's, I headed off to the Goh's house where church mates were preparing to welcome the beginning of 2012.

Glad that I could welcome 2012 with my friends and family.

So 2012....BRING IT ON!
