i woke up especially early on a saturday morning to blog.
But i've got no inspiration till now, hahaa...

sometimes i would be in such a mood to rant and could write for hours. But today, i was surfing around reading forums, random blogs and checking out some profiles over at facebook.
No inspiration still.
hopefully it comes soon. When i do not blog for more than 3-4 days, there's this nagging feeling in me which urges me to blog. I've got a whole lot of backdated stuff, but i'm feeling so lethargic. haha
i'm such a procrastinator.

Anyway, our love bike is sold =)
It's quite sad actually that we had to finally let it go because the bike holds many beautiful memories of our love.
This particular blog post will be dedicated solely to our bike.

First photo taken on the 1stJuly 2008 when jayen and i bought it from the bike shop =)
We decided to buy a bike because we wanted to revive the wonderful memories of riding in Taiwan Kaohsiung. We wanted to bring kaohsiung back to singapore! hahaa~ but of cos, for transport purposes too la, haha
Photobucket
it looked nerdy and lao kok kok.. and we spent alot of effort and money to zhng it, hahaa

i think close to 2K?
The final product, haha... removed the helmet box and added ferrings, stickers (even a custom-made one), saddle bags and a Yoshimura exhaust!
Photobucket
a total face-lift, haha! That cool, rugged kind of look without being too attention-seeking =)
and we're darn proud of it!!
it did attract super lots of compliments and attention! =)
And also as many bad guys :( cos the brake parts were stolen at Liang Court carpark just into our second month of riding!!
After which, we were totally paranoid and installed an alarm system in our bike. The super super loud kind of car alarm, haha!

The bike took us to many different places in singapore =) It was the first time i felt having our own transport is sooooo wonderful and convenient!!
cos i never had people to ferry me around like that, wahahhaa.... i felt really really blessed! =)
Jayen and i rode to so many places and met up every single day without fail!

Our favourite east coast, downtown east, the rides to SIM, the frustrating jams along stupid Bukit timah road, haw par villa and west coast, the flat hair due to the helmet, drenched from the rain along the expressway, stranded in KPE, went punggol park, bike couldnt start and we had to kick start it twenty over times pushing it up the slope and down, the fetch from my tuition places, the rides together with our hamster, pudding (haha! pudding is really motion sickness-proof now, haha!), jayen coming over for lunch every afternoon when he was working at Kbox, the sickening summons (we had one $170 fine from NEA for parking on a big tree's root -_-), our late-night washing at my basement and many more!
These memories were bitter-sweet. We've gone through thick and thin this 1 year plus together with our bike and it holds too much memories for us.
Now, it's to be sold.. naturally, we wouldnt bear to let it go....

But still, since there is a buyer who is really interested in it, we will sell it cos Jayen is also complaining of backaches from riding the bike. It would be better if he stops riding.

Last weekend, we went on a last rounding trip on our bike to the many different places that held special memories in our hearts. Took truckloads of photographs.

This place overlooks to the other side! can you see Resort world at sentosa? :D

Photobucket
Photobucket
they were having a kite-flying party i think, haha.. Look at these kites with lights! Amazing! Sometimes i wonder how heavy the kites with such lights are.
Photobucket
Had our first twister fries at McDonalds west coast
Photobucket

By the time we reached town, it was already after midnight =)
Photobucket
i took this photo because everytime jayen rides us to town, i would without fail look at the time on this digital clock on top of the building, haha.. It is 1.28 in the morning =)

After that, we stopped over at Holland village. Not for a drink, but to this playground nearby.
Photobucket
Our favourite slides. Got 2 slides side by side and we used to lie on them at night to count the stars and look at the clouds.
That night, we did the same =)

The next day, we continued with part 2 of our last rounding trip =)
We had to meet after dark cos i had tuition in the afternoon and Mattias' full-month dinner at Xin's =)

Our first stop that night was...
Changi Airport for our favourite Laksa and kayaToast meal! hehe
Photobucket
we used to have these every sunday for supper at Changi Airport.
After that, we went East Coast again..
Photobucket
No, we didnt play that night, haha.. Marina square's toys are definitely much worth it!!! i wan a Rilakkuma~!

3rd stop,
Photobucket
Interesting. Put a 春 on top of the 'tree' can use it for both Christmas and chinese new year, hahaa..
i was unable to capture the whole circle :( Emo.
Photobucket
Nevertheless, it made a really nice backdrop! haha
Photobucket
love bike =)

Test shot that turned out very nice, haha!!!
Photobucket
i think both look very hamsome, haha.. boyfriend and bike, keke

Posed photos..

After that we went to River Hongbao =)

hehe...
Photobucket

After that, we rode to our usual 'study corner' haha... a void deck at Kovan.
Photobucket
We would ride here, park our bike at the side, buy tidbits and drinks and study together till wee hours into the night =)
sigh..... EMO liao
:(

After that, we went over to Punggol!
Photobucket
This is one place we love too! Serene and not many people. We would come here after studying everytime because it's quite near to kovan. Sometimes we will have 'picnic' hahhaa!There's a police guard post there so it's very safe. This part of the beach will be revamped into some park in a couple of years' time.

After that, we headed home..
This is a scene which i will never get to see again after our bike is sold :(
a scene when Jayen parks it at my carpark before walking me to the lift.

The custom-made sticker on the fuel tank of our bike.
Photobucket
It says "In God we trust"
=)) p.s. the new owner loved it so much, haha!!

Love bike,
we're so gonna miss you.. but these beautiful memories will be etched in our hearts forever.
May your new owner take good care of you in the future...
Love you with all our hearts =)

After staring at the computer for the whole night and morning, im done with my essay on Saturday morning, yay!! Damn high.. it's relatively easier as compared to the last essay i did in the previous module. Hopefully, it'll be okay. cos i abit anyhow do one, haaa... cos post-cny mood mah, heh...

yah i know, i got lots of excuse for not working on my paper properly, heee...

so i'm back to blog about CNY, wahaha...
The day before CNY was great because i was very excited about the new year and visitation (read: angpow collection!)
But on Chinese new year itself, we missed visiting a few houses, so it was rather boring.

初一
Aunt and family was the first to reach our house! SO happy to see them!
Photobucket
They had a plate of longevity noodles my grandma specially cooked for chinese new year =) We all look forward to it every year =)
too bad cousin kaya was ill and so she wasnt very 'high', haha.. abit sad, or else we sure bitch and camwhore like mad! hahaa...

After awhile, my family set off to ahma's house!
Photobucket
It was the first year my mom and i didnt quarrel over my clothes on CNY. Cos she picked this dress among all the other dresses i showed her. So she's not complaining, haha
Good.

when we reached ahma's house, it has already turned into a mini-casino! hahaa
Photobucket
Photobucket
Photobucket
wahahahaa....

some photos my brother took of the nephews who are so cute, haha!
Photobucket
Photobucket
Photobucket
i love Kayden especially cos he looks very cheeky, like he has got something up his sleeve, wahahha

me with my cousins, Jiayan and Jiayin =))
Photobucket
Love them cos they are quite a funny bunch too, haha!

After that, we adjourned to my aunt's place in the afternoon. And my brother, myself, bailin and kaya stayed in the room for a game of Taboo while the 'elders' were in the living room.
Photobucket
and it was soooo... fun although it's more of an 'educational' game, wahahhaha...
but we had helluva great time laughing at each other.
Too bad, it was time to leave after awhile :(((((

My brother sent me to Jayen's house after that cos bf says his mommy has whipped up a great meal for me, YAY!!
She really is cook once a year and i'm always honoured to eat it! Jayen says it's specially cooked for me, wahahahha
Photobucket
Food's really good =)

after dinner, we went to catch a midnight movie at Shaw Lido =)

Photobucket
Photobucket

oh, and it was valentine's day and we have forgotten about it, haha

CNY overshadowed Vday, hahaa...


初二 camwhoreeee!
Photobucket

Photobucket
my new top chosen by baby =)
loving it!!
i paired it with a denim skirt for a new year lunch at my uncle's place.

i was still saying it was the first year my mom didn't nag at me on 初一.
BUT!!!
we got into such a big fight on 初二 !
ARGHHHHHHHH!!!!!
over my skirt! :((((
super hate it lor! she said it was too short and that i look very ugly!

wtf. never mind, dont wan to quarrel with her, so i heck care.
every chinese new year shit happens. super duper sian! :(

tell me lar, is it really very short?
Photobucket

she even ask me to change into the attire i go for tuition in! -_-
No, i will not listen to her.
Sometimes i get so frustrated until i think i dont wan to have any wedding dinner next time, cos i dont want her to criticise on the gown i'm going to be wearing and say i throw her face in front of the relatives.
i can almost forsee that already. I dont want her to spoil my mood!

ya ya ya i know she's my mother, and i'm unfilial to talk like tat.. but really is drive me up the wall. It's not the first time, it is EVERY TIME she picks on my attire, make up, lashes, hair..ANYTHING that to do with physical appearance. Anything that i think i look good in, she hates it :(
and she will criticise me say i look very ugly and throw her face. Yes, i know many people will think im not understanding enough, she care for me but just that she doesnt know how to express herself...

.. i have complained enough and yes, i do not understand and i wont try to anymore. Dont even try to explain to me. I know what my heart tells me.
Heck, just dont care can already. Emo.

:(

anyway, i'm still happy cos it's sunday and my day is gonna be fruitful!
YAY... love love
