Louis's commissioning ball.

About a month ago, Louis texted me asking if i could be his date for his Commissioning Ball. When i read the msg, i was shocked! I replied back saying "Did u text the wrong person?". Was shocked why he wld even think of asking me. Well anw, i agreed & secretly was quite happy. Hehe. Always wanted to go to a Commissioning Ball but figured i'd nvr get a chance to, till Louis! (: So yes, i can strike tt off my bucket list. Hahaha.

Anw, it was held at USS, at a super casual place called "Louis pizza". Food was disappointing. Sad to say, so was the location. Felt so sorry for the guys & Louis. They paid so much & yet the organizer of the event chose such a shit place. They were def expecting more. They deserve better! At least the night was quite entertaining & i got to see a glimpse of what its like to be in the navy. Pretty cool & interesting actually.

Jasmine was there as Melvin's date!! Was so darn happy to know tt she was gng too! Hahaha.



Tt's Melvin btw. Hahaha. He did a good jon w the video of their 9 months through hardship. It was a funny video.

The guys were so spontaneous & extremely hilarious. Laughed so much!

Was so happy there was a photobooth! I love photobooths.


Took one alone w Jasmine (:

Overall, i wld say the night was entertaining despite the food & venue. At least Louis did enjoy himself. Js like the other guys did too from what i saw. They were a bunch of super loud & hilarious guys. I rly laughed so much.

Gna end off my post w selfies i took while waiting for Louis to pick me up. Hahaha i took 45 mins to do my make up okay!! Its a super rare thing tt i dont normally do. I usually take 5 mins to do my make up. I actually went all out for this. So must take more photos. Hehe ^^








Dress is from momoteapots! (:

The boyfriend tag, maybe?

I would LOVEEE to do a vid of R doing my makeup. But u see, he refuses to do it. I mean like, he will do my make up for me but not have it filmed down. He wld immediately refuse to do my make up after tt. Hahaha. I wanna video it down for keepsake & upload on youtube. I dont care if no one watches it honestly. 5-10 years down the rd maybe when we settle down tgth, we can always go back to tt vid to reminisce on the good ol days. Why upload to You Tube? Its js in case my files go missing at least i know i have it somewhere like Youtube tt cant be deleted or go missing.

Tt's why i always take lotsa photos & video down my trips & stuff. It's for myself & the people who are in the shots/vids w me to look back at these wonderful memories & remind ourselves tt admist our busy lives, we gta take a break & slow things down. Just like how we did at these trips we've been to.

Please help me persuade R to do my make up? Hahaha maybe he wld agree then. Right now he is so against it. For now, i only hv photos. He knows how to do make up. Like he aint tt bad. U gotta see it to believe it. SO PLS HELP ME PERSUADE HIM PRETTY PLSSSS. Comment or email or formspring me!!

Swimming.

Did any of u play this "Surf in the water"game when u were kids? Well R & i did & we realized as we get older, its esier to balance on the board. Haha.

W Raihanah! Boy, we took several shots trying to get her to sink to the bottom & stay at the bottom to pose for a pic but this woman cant swim! So getting her to stay underwater was a tough task! Hahaha.

See, like this pic above, she wld keep floating up. Hahaha she doesnt know how to keep herself underwater.

Well, we, no sorry cross tt out, i meant R, taught Raihanah how to swim in the end. At the age of 22 u gotta know how to swim! Or at least know how to trap water!

The curious cat.

Kittens have grown quite big now. Cats grow way faster than dogs do. & They are rly naughty. They are smaller than dd is but tgth, they can be pretty destructive. It's like living w 2 kids who cant stop chasing ech other around the whole house & not knock over objects. Like every 15mins i hear a loud thud. & When i rush over to see what they dropped/broke this time round, they wld be standing around the crime scene they obviously created looking innocent. Like the "I didn't do it idk how it got there" facial expression.

On other days, they wld be busy discovering stuff which i find pretty adorable & hilarious at times.






There are days where u can find them in our pile of clean clothes sleeping so soundly.

Burn.

The day i burnt myself by pouring boiling hot water into burning charcoal. Why the hell did i do tt! I had such a tiring & long day i wasnt thinking straight. Hurt like a bitch man. It's healed alr. There is a faint scar though.
I rmbr saying to myself aft i got burnt, "Thank God its not my fingers. If not die. No need work alr." Hahaha. My fingers mean more to me. Lol. Arm not so bad, doesnt affect my work.

Kodaline, High hopes

Kodaline- High hopes

Broken bottles in the hotel lobby

Seems to me like I'm just scared of ever feeling it again

I know it's crazy to believe in silly things

It's not that easy

I remember it now, it takes me back to when it all first started

But I only got myself to blame for it, and I accept the now

It's time to let it all go, go out and start again

But it's not that easy

But I've got high hopes, it takes me back to when we started

High hopes, when you let it go, go out and start again

High hopes, ooohhh when it all comes to an end

But the world keeps spinning around

And in my dreams, I make the ghosts of all the people who've come and gone

Memories, they seem to show up so quick but they leave you far too soon

My evil is just staring at the barrel of a gun

And I do believe in

Believe I've got high hopes

It takes me back to when we started

High hopes, when you let it go, go out and start again

High hopes, ooohhh when it all comes to an end

But the world keeps spinning

And the world keeps spinning around

High hopes, it takes me back to when we started

High hopes, when you let it go, go out and start again

High hopes, ooohhh

And the world keeps spinning

Yeah this world keeps spinning

How this world keeps spinning around

Kodaline was introduced to me by my Sous chef few months ago, & she has impecable taste in music. The best thing's tt she loves Indie music as much as i do. I bought their vinyl record online tgth w my Sous chef & i cant wait to get my hands on the Record player so i can listen to their awesome music. Rly cannot wait. 

My apologies.

SORRY FOR THE "BANDWIDTH EXCEEDED' PHOTO TTS TAKING UP AALL MY PHOTOS! :( So angry tt i cant do anything abt it but wait till next month August 15th, where my photos will be restored. Ugh. So irritating. Photobucket always does this. 

Anyone knows of a better photo storage site? (:

Mex Out

Dinner at Mex Out was pretty awesome. R & i are huge fans of Mexican food. & The oly place tt serves delicious Mexican food other than Mex Out wld be Baja fresh! So we were pretty happy to find Mex Out!

The food was yummy except for the guacamole. I like my guacamole spicy. Mex out's guacamole is pretty bland. Also, unlike Baja fresh, their dips such as the salsas, are not free flow :( The dips at Baja fresh is fresh and FREE FLOW!!! If you love vegetables, particularly tomatoes.. U will love tt Baja fresh serves them free flowww! Hehe.

SO CUTE RIGHT TIS COASTER??! HHAHAHA I DONT WANNA TACO ABT IT!!




Ending off my post w a pic of R & i (:

Night picnic

On one of our usual dinner dates, i decided to prepare smthing diff from what we usually do. I ended work earlier tt day so i had time to go NTUC to buy ingredients w the help of my dad (: Though my occupation is a cook in the kitchen, many assume tt i wld hv the time to cook at home for my family & R. But nooo. I DO NOT hv the luxury of cooking at home cause usually by the time i get home, i'm way too tired to cook & wash the utensils i use after tt. & I love to cook for people who actually enjoy eating the food i prepare. But not R. He is always crictical of the food i cook & has 101 comments. I hv been w him for 3 years plus & i have only cooked for him once. He likes to think he is a better cook u see *Rolls eyes*. Lol.

So anw, he dislikes packed food a lot which is why we hardly do picnics. He says hot food shld stay hot & its not easy to pack hot food. Or it wld turn soggy. Stuff like tt. So i decided to make simple picnic food tt need not be cold or hot.

 I spent a total of $20? A bit ex cause i hv no ingredients at home as i hardly cook at home. Here's what i made which u can easily purchase from any NTUC outlet:

• Cheese sausage wholemeal wrap
• Avocado & cherry tomatoes salad w vinaigrette dressing (threw in the extra cheese sausages i had)
• Banana cake (Super easy to make & doesn't take more than an hour to prepare & bake)

Made my own sauce for the wrap lest it wld hv been too dry. Added a couple of rocket & red oakleafs cause i had more than enough salad for 2.

This cute lil box can be bought from Phoon Huat or Spotlight.

Brought my lil furball along as she has been home all day. Man, the girl was sooo happy to be gng out.

Cling wrapped my wraps so tt the fillings 7 sauce wont fall out.

Our beautiful scenic view where we sat under a tree while we ate & enjoyed the cool breeze. We went to Lower Seletar as it was quiet there so we had privacy. But of course, there were a couple of strangers jogging at a distance.

 

This girl made herself reallyyyyyy comfortable by climbing on top of my tummy, faced her BUTT right at me & slept.

My view of dd's butt -.-

Anw, we played the Ellen Degeneres game too. It was quite fun.

All in all, it was a great night. It was time well spent w R & he was happy. He loved the food which made me happy.
