I'm bored in Abu Dhabi and I would be here till next thursday. *yawnz* Its a good time to catch up with my sleep though.
And perhaps practise my SEP quizes which I would be tested soon. But still...there're still lotsa time left!! Thank god there is WOW. heh heh.
Recently, it seems that there are a few of my friends leaving Singapore.
Well, Krumbs went back to London...and yea, I miss him!
Daniel, be good in Frankfurt yea... Have fun in your new job and take care! I'll visit you if I can!
Peter went back to taipei for work...
Kenji heading back to Japan... Yvonne, hang in there!
hmm... I'm looking forward to staying in London next year. But...would there be anything there for me to do?

:: missing a part of me ::
So I'm back in Singapoe alone now... after sending krumbs back to London.
It is only the first day and it feels weird. Feeling empty perhaps? Oh well, i guess it will be better as the days pass.
It was a good trip to london. At first, I thought the IFS would be a nasty one coz he was kinda listed as one of the top ten. I was almost contemplating not to do the london flight becasue of that. However, I decided to stay on coz I really wanna see krumbs back to London. Well, it turned out exactly the opposite! He was actually nice.. (well though he's a bit sticky on certain things but hey, i could say he's okay!) The flights up and back weren't easy though... lotsa orders and demanding people...but its worth it.
Was extremely tired after I touched down in london, had a bbq dinner with his family at his place and then I dozed off. Hmm..actually I can't exactly remember what else happened on that day coz I was walking like a zombie...
Oh oh but i do remember that his mum prepared my pyjamas, bath robe, towel and a teddy bear by his bed. So nice!!
Well, she even stock up krumbs' little fridge in his room.
Sent his mum to work the next day and along the way, we went into the Build-A-Bear store. The three of us were busy selecting the clothing for the bear which he insisted in getting. (It's bloody exp for a teddy bear!?!?) While the attendant was stuffing the bear with cotton, his mum suggested to put 2 hearts inside the bear..oh ya, and gotta make a wish first..blah blah. Hahahaha...i feel so silly. And then u know... the bear has got a name, a birth cert and even a passport which can be stamped at the immigration. And yea so Krumbsiie is born. Oh...we can't decide its gender..so tentatively its unisex. HAHAHHAHA
Drove down to central london together with Ivan for the famous Duck rice. hmm... the duck is nice but I wouldn't go back again for it simply coz its expensive when I can get it in Singapore tons cheaper and easier.
There were road diversions here and there and it took us about 2 hours to get back home (normally it would take abt an hour?). Relying on the GPS TomTom doesn't help, honey!
The next day, he sent me back to the hotel and we're just waiting for the time to say goodbye.
It was a lil difficult trying to fight back my tears, but what made it easy was that my makeup was already on. And yea, i tried to hang myself upside down by the bed so that the tears won't flow down. hahaha.
Whatever need to be said have been said. What reassurance we need have been said. I was just... sitting there, looking at him quietly, hoping time will fly pass quickly before I could see him again. And then I went on to imagine how would it be like without him in Singapore. The thought of not having him by my side, made me even sadder and I quickly abandoned that thought. I don't even wanna think about it.
************
Well, now.. at least I have lotsa free time now. Heh Heh..
Sorry my dear friends, pardon me for not spending enough time with u guys lately as we were just trying to maximise the time we had in Singapore and I asked for your understanding.

:: WOW ::
I blamed krumbs for my recent addiction to WOW (War of Warcraft).
But it was a nice addiction. HEH. Time flies quickly while you are at it. HA~
I even dreamt of it one night. Dreamt of my character killing creatures and levelling. haha! Nice~
****************************
Krumbs gonna head back to london next week. Hmm... having mix feeling about it.
I think I'm sure gonna feel the void while he's gone but this also means we're a step nearer to our aim. Now, that's some kind of consolation. HEH.
I'm pretty sure we're going to do just fine... as long as I've an europe flight each month? I'll try to change to london if possible or he'll come down to the europe stations where I'm at.
Sigh. From almost seeing each other everyday to possibly meeting up only once a month, it does seems like a huge deal.
But yea, we'll pull through it. We're definitely not a big fan of long-distance relationship.
I'll be on the same flight with him as he heads back next week. Feeling a bit excited about going back to his place...well, you know, different status now. heehee.
Oh, kinda feeling scared about what his mum gonna speak "seriously" to us about. Not that his mum is fierce or what. On the contrary, his mum is really open-minded and extremely friendly. I haven't really met her yet but we've been on the phone a few times...She's a supercool mum! Oh ya, and she has been seriously proposing to krumbs about buying a flat once he gets his arse back to SG next year.
Some funny conversations between them goes like this:
his mum: hey son, ask Val to quit her job and come over london with you.
krumbs: yes mum, we have been discussing about this issue...she need to work out the finance and stuff...
his mum: ask her not to worry. She's got a roof over her head, food on the table, car to drive, money to spend.....
krumbs: hmm... car?
his mum: ya...drive your car lor!
krumbs: money?
his mum: aiyah... u go and work lor!
---
his mum: So is Val coming over? Ask her to come stay for 2 years lah!
krumbs: what? no mum...
his mum: ok ok...1 year?
krumbs: no mum! 6 months!
his mum: ok ok..
---
his mum: hey, u guys very free right? Go HDB and look for flats lah.
krumbs: huh? mum!?!?! erm... where's the money?
his mum: I'll pay for the deposit lor!
----
his mum: hey son, if you are serious about each other, I think we should talk about buying a flat seriously. Why dun you and val disucss about it seriously?
krumbs: Okay mum...
his mum: dun worry about the money. I'll pay. We'll talk about this seriously when u two come back next week.
---
***********************************
While I'm still not sure if I should go ahead with the plan of going over london for 6 months, but I'm definitely gonna resign.
I guess its about time to leave the company or else you'll be stuck in it.
Yes, i may not feel confident about looking for a ground job but at the same time, I feel i should get out of that comfort zone.
There are thousands and one questions one asks me why would I want to resign when the job seems good... but I have thousands and one replies to that. Its just a matter of personal preference i guess. I dun think its a bad job.. perhaps its just not my cup of tea. After all, I knew I wouldn't stay for long.
Well, future seems to be a lil uncertain for now. Just gonna take each step at a time.
But it was a nice addiction. HEH. Time flies quickly while you are at it. HA~

:: krumbs birthday ::
On his birthday early this month (ooh, i love the fact that he's a Leo), I brought him to Oosh at dempsey for dinner.
It was our first time there and we fell in love with that place at first sight.
Nice dinner...nice ambience and space for chilling out. We were a lil skeptical about the chillout area as we moved over because it seemed to be "mosquito-friendly". Well, it turned out no mozzies at all! We had phobia of mozzies recently, especially after getting more than 20 over jumbo bites from the commando mozzies in Sabah.
He thought that would be the end of the night but I surprised him by telling the cab driver somewhere else.
And then i blindfolded him and led him to the place. Gave him the birthday cake right at 12am sharp as he opened his eyes. He couldn't stopped smiling. :)
I'm glad he enjoyed it. All the planning and rushing, especially I was doing flight in between, was worth it.
