I know I said the previous post was the last..
But kns it is SO HARD trying not to dayre. Ahpei made me take so many pictures over the weekend (itโs only been 2 days but the cold turkey is so bad wtf dayre are you a cigarette) but Iโm like, take so many pictures also not gonna dayre ๐๐
Tried weblogit but I deleted it as quickly as I downloaded it lolol dat shit gave me such a headache ๐
I donโt wanna write anywhere else (WordPress or other apps) since I alr have missgoob.com so everything will be there if dayre really is going to be no more. Itโs dayre or nothing!!
Tried to IG story a lot more but who am I kidding,
IT IS JUST NOT THE SAME ๐ฉ
Although I really need to thank you guys for following me there and sending so many messages to encourage me to come back to writing here ๐ข
And all the birthday texts.. I really want to krai ๐ญโค๏ธ
I thought I could just
say bye to Dayre..
But I actually teared while writing this.
Looking at Gooby walking around the house like a curious rat, I ALWAYS ALWAYS think back to that dark period, that very fateful day he collapsed as if his legs turned into jelly.
And also to the time when Ahpei and I were in our small Bukit Timah shop, handing out kek slices to all of you who bought keks to raise funds for Gugubieโs surgery so he can walk again. He stands weak now but when heโs excited he can even do a silly run!!
๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ
Pregnant with food baby also counted right?
And yes, I read about EVERYTHING, even about your lovely pets like Bambuu, Danny, Goofy, Chloe.. even the late Scout and Toby ๐๐๐ผ
From the first freaking day.
And I wrote LOTS OF FOOD; it got cut off haha. Tried so many good stuff (and got phat) just from reading dayre ๐คฃ
Since itโs my birthday today, I shall make a wish.
I wish Dayre can stay (Iโm sure we will all stay) although it probably takes a miracle & I also wish for everyone to be heppi here ๐๐๐ผ
And before I get to my post proper, just wanna say thank you @sgbudgetbabe for everything you are doing for US.
Iโll support you in every way I can, be it a signature or a survey, or anything more you might need me to share ๐
Ok drying my tears to write a heppi post! :โ)
โ
Starting with this COFFEE KEK I baked for a very special order.
We actually donโt have coffee as one of the flavours on our menu but someone ordered this kek for his terminally ill dad who might be celebrating his very last birthday.. ๐ข
He requested for a coffee kek so I really couldnโt make him settle for an alternative. I didnโt want to either.
It was quite a last minute order so I didnโt have time to experiment and this was the product of my one-shot-bake ๐
Thankfully it was gud! ๐๐ผ
Probably gonna make this again during our next bake sale, which will probably be after CNY hao ma? Focus your calories on Chinese New Year goodies for now hehehe.
Coffee lovers yโall must wait for this ok! ๐ฐโ๏ธ
Ended work early on a weekday and met BESTFRIEND @lettytan for an early birthday dinner!
We took a walk into Sentosa from Vivo ๐
Had dinner at Wave House (every Wednesday got 1 for 1 donโt say I nv share!!) & we were so stuffed lol.
The 1 for 1 is great BUT a bit lame cos the free item must be identical ๐
Heng we both like cream based pastas lolol.
But then..
How to finish two sets of nachos ๐ต๐ต
I had to bring home the other set for my family lolol. We couldnโt even finish our portion la!!
This heap of goodness tho ๐ฎ๐ฅ
The portion was legit huge and I recommend it for sharing among 3-4 pax haha. #goodthingsmustshare
Had such a great time talking and laughing my head off that night! Thank you so much for the birthday treat BESTFRIEND! ๐๐ปโโ๏ธโค๏ธ
Ahpei made me laugh out so hard that night cos it was 1111 and he accidentally texted his car wash guy HAHAHAHAHAHAHA I KENT ๐คฃ
And this is why we never get things done ๐
Met ahlao and his family after work on Saturday since my plans to meet friends got cancelled hehe.
Walking around Orchard is so scary cos thereโs so much fud to try!! I tried my bez but still caved when I saw this MENTAIKO BAGUETTE ๐คค๐คค
Ahlao was really sweet and bought it for me immediately when he caught me lingering at the bakery lolol ๐
It was a bit salty but still quite gud! Hehehe.
Bread is love. Carbs iz lyfeee.
Weekends with you ๐คช
We walked around the wholeeee afternoon and finally got home in the evening. His folks went straight to CWP for more shopping and we helped them carry their loots home and stole some time for a nap too hehe.
I am worse than an old woman ๐
This is us on the MRT lolol.
My ahlao makes sure he HOLDS ME DAMN TIGHTLY so I wonโt fall on the train ๐คฃ
I feel very safe thank you HAHA.
Escalator rides with Ahpei are the best kiki ๐
Anw my ahlao I currently soooo hooked on this soldier app game lolol. So I always gajiao him and act upset when he plays the game hahaha. But Iโm really ok with it la cos I use the time to edit photos and IG ๐
Good thing is, Ahpei really gives me his 100% attention when we are in dating-mode. He never opens the game when we are hanging out spending quality time, and Iโm thankful for that hehe ๐
But that doesnโt mean I donโt disturb him hahaha ๐
THEN AHLAO KRAI ๐๐
So cute leh zomg. Then I must sayang him ๐
And on Sunday,
we visited #SungHouse again!
To retrieve ๐๐ hehe.
Thankfully there were no ants! But after a week, the bottom of the pineapple got s bit mouldy ๐
ๅ liao lor!!
Geeky ahlao also brought this along to paste on our wall ๐
โ
I am so sorry for the laggy updates guys, cos I was so occupied with ahlao & family time the past couple days then tuesday was just work chionging. Itโs almost 2am now and Iโm finally rewinding time to finish my post!
โ
So we were at our new house and it was already evening time. We didnโt make plans for anything after that but all of the sudden, Ahpei announced that we were going for a picnic! ๐ง
๐ฉ๐ป Why suddenly go picnic?
๐ฆ๐ป Cos jiejie like.
๐ฉ๐ป Eee.. *secretly wondering if itโs for my birthday but then itโs not my birthday yet so I donโt dare to think to much hahaha*
๐ฆ๐ป Whereโs the nearest Giant? We need to buy a picnic mat.
๐ฉ๐ป Wait, but where are we going to have a picnic?!
๐ฆ๐ป Nearby.
๐ฉ๐ป Henderson Waves? But youโre afraid of heights ๐
๐ฆ๐ป No la.
๐ฉ๐ป Mount Faber? Sentosa?!
๐ฆ๐ป Labrador.
๐ฉ๐ป EEEEEEEEEEEE. Xiexie ahlao :โ)
Cos the thing is, Iโve always wanted to check out Labrador Park; Iโve only been there once when I was a kid and I have very vague memories of that place..
I casually mentioned about checking out Labrador someday cos we drove past the road sign the other day haha.
So Ahpei actually remembers and planned to take me there this time! ๐
Since we had literally NOTHING suitable for a picnic with us, we headed to the nearby NTUC to get some food. There was obviously not much ready-to-eat dinner food & that outlet didnโt sell picnic mats either!
Ahpei was rushing here and there, shuttling in and out of the supermarket, valu dollar shop and household store trying to find a mat for us. I xiao touched, but I was also half wondering – WHATS THE HURRY LOL.
Heโs usually a very chill and more of a stroll person but he was walking so fast that day!! And he kept checking his watch, but I just donโt know why!
๐ฆ๐ป What do you want to eat?
๐ฉ๐ป Iโm ok with anything you want! We can dabao hawker food since thereโs only tidbits and biscuits here.. Or we go Vivo and buy?
๐ฆ๐ป We donโt have time. Ok forget it. We grab some food and go to Labrador first. Then I bring you to Vivo for dinner.
๐ฉ๐ป Thatโs like having dinner twice?!?! ๐
๐ฆ๐ป This is a picnic only!!! #okcan
In the end we grabbed a carton of barley drink and a packet of snacks, before making our way to Labrador!
I donโt really expect surprises or secret plans from Ahpei (since we are alr married and this stage plus I really very low expectations one lolol ๐
) but seeing him all gancheong and eager to execute his plan did make me feel a bit excited and really special ๐
Teeheehee ๐ค
Tbh, any form of nature therapy just makes me really heppi and eggcited hehe. I love checking out parks and stuff! ๐
My ahlao knows me very well ๐๐ปโโ๏ธ
Trees welcoming meeeee! ๐ฒ๐ฒ
We parked at the wrong carpark at first and didnโt know how to get to the park from Tamarind Hill. Ahpei was like โOk letโs go letโs go!!โ And he kept checking his watch it was really starting to bother me!
Bother not like an annoyed kind of bother but just sibeh curious if we were very very late for sth or what la lolol.
I was like wow ok rerac haoma whatโs the rush is it catching the polar express!! ๐
When we finally arrived, I realised – Ahpei wanted to let me see the sunset ๐
The breeze was bagus that day & I was so heppi hehe. Perfect for a park date! ๐ค
Thank you for bringing me here ๐
The place wasnโt took crowded too, despite being a weekend. Which was great! Canโt wait to come here often after we move in hehe ๐
Ahlaoโs face ๐๐
It was quite cloudy that evening so the sunset wasnโt too in your face haha, much to Ahpeiโs disappointment. Cos he googled pictures of purple and orange sunsets and wanted me to see that awww ๐๐ผ๐๐ผ
But I was still super thankful to be there ๐
I asked Ahpei if he could take photos of me and the trees ๐
And he took some really nice shots :))
I loveeeee my hair colour under the natural light! Itโs on fiyaaa ๐ฅ
We found a bench, sat down to eat our snacks, and I was presented with rings for my birthday ๐
I was laughing so much cos my rings canโt even fit?! Like only go until my nails there ๐คฃ
We really super self-entertain lolol is it in love then become stupiak ๐
But I loved my rings so much hehehehe ๐
I realised heppiness can really be so simple when youโre with the right company.. you donโt even have to do exciting things but you still feel like your heart is bursting ๐
May we always be contented with simple things! ๐๐ผ
Cloudy sunset, but still a beautiful sight ๐
This is ๐ฏ reality – my face IS bigger ๐คฃ
This is fake cos I hide behind BAHAHA. But my heppiness was 8000% ๐๐ผ
I felt so so so loved and lucky to be right there and then with the love of my life, sitting in a park, taking in the sunset, surrounded by trees ๐๐ณโค๏ธ
Ahpei later told me that he almost booked some dinner for us at some altitude place but he struggled a bit cos he still felt Iโd love this better.
WHICH I TODALI DID.
Iโm so glad he chose nature therapy for me la! He knows exactly what would make me heppi ๐
Although I was xiao touched at his thoughtful plan, but I absolutely CANNOT appreciate fine dining and my hart would be so pain to enjoy that $400+ meal la really ๐ฉ
I really am not the kind of person who will splurge on food cos imma poop the next day anyway! ๐
A legit ytf over atas fud ANYTIME.
Ahpei explained that he wanted to bring me out for a nice meal since it was my birthday.. so he thought of bringing me there to ็ๅคๆฏ haha but then hor, so dark cannot see my Ahlaoโs fez…… ๐๐
We struggled with dinner options cos Ahpei insisted on bringing me to a restaurant to eat gud fud but then..
Gud fud be at Seah Im??? ๐
He told me to choose a place and I was like – I donโt know what to choose ๐จ
I finally picked ramen (enough of western food zomg I am so asian need my soup) so we went to a laksa steamboat place!
But the parking was full so we headed to Vivo instead, since itโs the nearest mall.
Ended up at Menya Musahi (Iโve never tried the ramen here so yep! ๐) and these were side dishes from Ahpeiโs premium set.
I picked an a la carte ramen cos I need to stop over-eating! Every meal leading up to CNY is just a sin zomg I kent even.
Thank you for spoiling me:
We are seldom found in restaurant settings cos my natural habitat be like coffeeshop or foodcourt lol.
It actually felt a bit weird to be sitting in a restaurant with Ahpei tbh ๐ฌ
Stole a piece of lettuce for my birthday moustache ๐
Dinner is served!
We both picked the BLACK soup base, with garlic oil. Sibeh flavourful and kind of like the Nantsuttei one!
And would you check out my gigantic chicken leg!! ๐คค๐คค๐คค
This was only $14.9 (excusing taxes) which I though was very worth it?!
I picked the thin noodles cos I prefer my ramen more al dente!
Ahpei picked the thicker, softer kind ๐
I tried some and they felt like soggy noodles in my mouth so nope lol.
Egg was bagusssss ๐
The noodle portion was also quite legit but Ahpei had to eat some for me since my chicken leg was so huge!
And wah the meat was perfectly tender and fell off the bones so easily! Todali bagus I highly recommend it!! ๐๐ผ
Thank you for the birthday treat ahlao ๐๐ปโโ๏ธโค๏ธ
We went shopping for CNY gifts for our folks at the atrium area and came across this super cute door mat at one of the pushcarts!
It was like $20 but I loved it so much la!!
Ahpei liked it too and we wanted to get it for our house but then we had CNY errands to run so we wanted to come back later to get it.
And guess who forgot about it.
US ๐คฆ๐ปโโ๏ธ๐คฆ๐ปโโ๏ธ
But at least we completed our tasks ๐
Ahlao volunteered to carry the heavy stuff while I only had to carry 1 box of cookies.. thank you for always being so nice to me ๐
Got home, showered & then ahlao presented me with a laminated version of his handwritten wedding vows! ๐
Iโve always wished heโd write them out for me since I was crying the whole time during our solemnisation when he said his vows lolol ๐
I jokingly asked him is he could recite them again for me without looking.
AND HE DID!
He legit memorised it like the pledge leh what the… I was too shocked and too touched ๐ข
After he said his vows again, Ahpei asked if I remember mine and I was like.. I forgot liao ๐ฌ
Wah I am such a horrible person lolol I todali cannot memorise things laaaa. But I still love you ahlao! ๐ค
As we lay in bed that night, I felt so overwhelmed with all the emotions that I cried..
I donโt know why but sometimes when life is too perfect with ahlao, then there will be a trade off.
Like, too many good things at happening to me and I feel that I donโt truly deserve all these.. and I get really worried and so scared that bad things will happen.
I DONT KNOW WHY BUT YA.
Too heppi also want to krai ๐ Ahpei didnโt say much but just held me and told me that he loves me.
The next morning, I stirred in my sleep but I felt Ahpei get out of bed to prepare to go to work. He came back and hugged me from the back and we lay like that for a while.
The next time I woke up, it was 1030am already and I was so sed to find Ahpeiโs side of the bed empty!! ๐ญ
I knew he left for work without waking me cos he sked I tired and wanted to lemme sleep more but then I also wished he woke me so I could hug and kiss him goodbye even though I am half asleep!! ๐ฉ
I hate the feeling of not saying bye to him and I was so upset with myself for concussing sighhh. And also the fact that my ahlao left without waking me to say bye ๐
Carried on with my day after leaving Ahpeiโs house cos I was meeting my folks for lunch! They are bringing me to dim sum hehe ๐
Long story short, we ordered a lot again lol. Baba had a $100 off voucher (without minimum spending somemore!!) for Tien Court so thatโs where we were haha.
Food was pretty good but a bit pricy! We still paid $98 after $100 off leh! Granted taxes are quite a bit but ya ๐
This was the star dish and also the most expensive one at almost $40 for 6 skewers if prawn & scallops with black truffle sauce.
The seafood was really fresh and gud though the truffle can be stronger haha.
I also had a mini orhnee birthday kek haha. Thank you baba mama for the birthday treat! I really really enjoyed the fud very much ๐ค
And thank you bringing me up so well, always feeding me with all the delicious fud until I go TAF Club ๐๐
Jokes aside, thank you for being the best parents to me and supporting my dreams so I can be who I am today ๐๐ปโโ๏ธโค๏ธ @3gmum @kaimeng
Came home to rest for a bit after lunch before heading downstairs for a swim cos I am too guilty lol. Plus the weather was so hot I needed to cool off!
Somemore got reunion dinner later that night!๐
Who else hates post-swim hair?! ๐๐ปโโ๏ธ Mega tangled I had to condition twice lolol.
Took some time to give my phat body some love since itโs my birthday and itโs about time I love myself more…. ๐
I mean I could stand like that and pretend Iโm rather slim.. and convince myself that the shadow lines are actually my long-lost abs… but I know that would be lying to myself la ๐๐ปโโ๏ธ
Turning 29 and into my last year before I turn 30 (wtf I thought I was 15?? Why time fly so fast ๐ช), I want to embrace my body and even itโs flaws.
So for the first time ever, say hi to my rolls! ๐๐ผ
No I do not have abs (not even ab shadows) but yes imma strut around in a 2 piece swimsuit anyway!!
No I am not Pooh bear but imma rock a crop top anyway!!!! ๐๐ผ
No I am not saying itโs okay to be overweight/unhealthy (letโs not get there) in fact I encourage yโall to eat right as much as possible and exercise to reach you whatever body/health goals.
I know itโs hard just look at me lolol but we can all TRY ๐
But I guess I just wanna come to terms with MYSELF and MY BODY and accept myself more ๐
Just a day ago I was indulging in some low self esteem shit and these thoughts are really poisonous yet sometimes I really cannot halp myself la ๐
But regardless of how shitty I feel, I am thankful for an ever encouraging ahlao who ALWAYS assures me that Iโm fine, and more than enough ๐ฉโค๏ธ
Even though I still gajiao his spelling ๐
So ya you girls out there please, love your rolls and imperfections cos no matter what you are perfect in your own way.
YOU ARE STILL BEAUTIFUL GERRR! ๐๐ปโโ๏ธ
All showered and ready for ๅขๅ้ฅญ! ๐
Grabbed my ้ฟ็็ for a picture before leaving the house hehe. He looks like a puppy zomg ๐ญ Too cuteeeeee.
Lohei! ๐
Had ours at Keng Eng Kee this year and the place was bursting with people on a Monday night!!
Food was really nubbad but skip the roast chicken cos it was so dry for both our tables sigh.
The rest were all bagus, especially the sotong youtiao hehe ๐คค
Ahlec drove us (sisters & ahlao) home after dinner cos Ahpei parked his car at my place before grabbing over!
I thought why he so weird cannot drive straight to our dinner place.
But what I didnโt know was, Nya Nya tasked him to get a birthday kek for me so he had to drop it off at home!
Came home to yet another surprise ๐ญ๐ญ
Thank you for rushing around to get the kek & thank you mala for the surprise :โ)
Just a small slice since we were alr bursting from dinner! So all of us (including our helper Nilar) shared this slice HAHAHAHA ๐
One slice divide into 8 sia huat ah ๐๐ผ
Ahpei looks so dark here but all he did was spend one afternoon under the sun lolol.
HAHAHAHA GUGUBIE ๐คฃ๐คฃ
He starts barking every time we sing a birthday song I donโt know why!! Is it want to sing for me?? ๐ถ๐
Itโs like heโs trying heโs hardest to sing a song for me wholeheartedly BAHAHA he is too cute ๐
I wish everyone can be heppi ๐
And the annual โred egg ceremonyโ where Nya Nya rolls the egg over our face and says suspicious things hehehehe ๐
Last part was Ahpei disturbing saying she should crack the egg on my forehead lol zbj ๐
Thank you for everything, my wonderful family ๐๐ปโโ๏ธโค๏ธ
We were all chatting when ahlao suddenly clenched his fist over my hand and told me to guess whatโs inside.
๐ฉ๐ป What. Donโt gajiao me.
๐ฆ๐ป Guess what it is!!
๐ฉ๐ป Nu.
๐ฆ๐ป Guessssss.
๐ฉ๐ป Lizard.
๐ฆ๐ป Nuuu.
๐ฉ๐ป What is it!!
๐ฆ๐ป Guess la!!
๐ฉ๐ป My birthday present.
๐ฆ๐ป Correct!
๐ฉ๐ป And it is air. *still thinking heโs gonna gajiao me*
But ahlao slowly released 12 saga seeds into my palm :โ)))
Not enough chairs so ahlao invited me to sit on his lap kiki. Iโm not even cotton wool but he carries all of my weight readily ๐ค
๐๐๐
So sun burnt la sia! We really is ้ป็ฝ้
now ๐
Guess who texted me too! All the way from Philippines ๐๐
Boss took care of me since I was a baby until I was 22, before she went back to join her family. She literally gave up her youth and family time for all of us laaa ๐ญ
Sheโs coming back to visit us this March and also to attend Lingโs wedding! I KENT WAIT for her to meet my ahlao!! ๐
She used to disturb me by calling me bakulaw cos of my size and she predicted me marrying an angmoh cos they like bigger girls ๐
๐
BUT I MARRIED AHLAO OK!!
Jokes aside I really canโt wait for our reunion with her. Sheโs really like half our mother and we really miss her so so much! Really glad that her health checkup went well so her doctor let her travel :))
Boss is getting on in years already and Iโm just so thankful to be able to see her in person again ๐๐๐ผ
It was almost midnight already when I kissed my baby rat goodbye cos I was gonna stay over at ahlaoโs place one more day before returning to work ๐
We planned to watch Downsizing while chilling in bed but by the time we reached home, we were both too tired for anything and ended up choosing to sleep instead lolol ่ไบบ ๐คฆ๐ปโโ๏ธ
Well so that sums up my very long birthday recap! If you read till here, THANK YOU, from the bottom of my heart ๐
Thank you for the well wishes and comments too guys! It felt so gud to be writing again :โ)
Iโll really miss dayre if itโs gone but I hope we stay connected in every other way ok! โค๏ธ
Thank you for sharing my highs and lows, watching me grow and get married. Legit.
Love,
missgoob.
