little joyjoy zipping around the world

Aaron and I just had a big tiff over some issues the night before, I hated the way he reacted and he hated me for picking on him. Maybe I have a lot of expectations about him sending and fetching me from work. We will just need to know how to manage each other's expectations. Maybe I should be better at communicating with him and be more forgiving.

Oh well as I have said there will always be differences when 2 come together.

If only life can be like a fairy tale and we live happily ever after.............

Nobody told me that growing up has to be so stressful.

Since the last blog many things have happened, I am still zipping around the world, but the best thing that happened in 2009 was that I got married!! We got married on 031009 and it was great fun as all the attention was on me and us. Friends and relative were all coming together because of us and we having a great time because of us. There was a lot of planning and saving up before the wedding and many things to arrange but come to think about it now it was all worth it and I had most of the things I wanted for my wedding (well except for having sharks fin soup - which I thought I could do without!!)

I always thought my wedding was going to be MY way but as it turns out that is not the case. There are often other factors that would pop out and throw you off course. I am still sore till today that I have had to have sharks fin soup on my wedding and that there was nothing I could do stop it and worse my hubby was not on this with (but he did agree to it b4 the complications happened)

Oh well I guess there is nothing I can do but to move on but I was glad that everybody had a great time and the food was great though we did not have much time to enjoy it. Aaron did promised me that we will go back to the restaurant for our 1st anniversary so I am looking forward to eating those yummy and reminiscing the memories we had that night. Now I only hope it would happen.

Getting married has its own set of problems. Now that we are stuck not being able to buy our own house because his name is in his parents' condo. We would love to have our own house and our own space but all these seems so far away. Houses are so expansive to buy especially in the open market and it is not helping that we can only buy new flats after 30 months after we get Aaron's name out from the private property. I just hope that they would just hurry in taking out his name because I do not want to wait any longer. The later they take out the name the longer we will have to wait! I do not know what is going to happen but I can only hope for the best. Maybe I will win the lottery or maybe a house for that matter, all I want is a place call home. I do not need a fancy place all I want is a nice flat where I can bring up my kids. Do we have to postpone the plans for having kids due to no house to stay?? Sigh...... I really dun know, I always dun have answers to these questions but I cannot help but think about this problem all the time. I guess God as a plan for the 2 of us I just hope that it would be sooner coz I am really losing my patience. If only my life is just mine alone to control and that I live in a vacuum where nothing else matter only those that I care about.

What is going to happen?? When are we going to buy our flat?? When are we going to start a family?? What I am going to do after Aug?? Am I going to find another job?? Am I going to make it in property?? Am I going to be rich?? Am I going to be a happy??

There are so many questions and I dun seem to be able to answer them. Maybe I am at a cross junction not knowing where to go. Should I continue doing what I have been doing or take a plunge and do something different? Will I regret? Will I love what chose? Maybe I think too much but I really cannot help it. I just want to be happy maybe I should just take it day by day and see what life has to offer me........ I know God has a great plan and I just have to have faith and walk through it knowing that he knows what is best for me.

Oh yes another great thing that happened to me was that I got baptized this Easter 030410. Before I got baptized I was still having doubts but after going through it I feel it was a great choice and that at least I have a religion now to embrace. Well at least if things dun turn out the way I want it to be it takes comfort to know that he knows what is best for me. And that everything happens in God's time and that I only have to be patient. Going through RCIA in Holy Family gave me opportunity to make more friends and I really think that they are a great bunch and yes my group was awesome and my Godma is an angel. I know that I will have a great relationship with all of them, especially with Godma. She is a sweet and simple lady who has so much to offer and most of all I feel really comfortable being with her. I hope our relationship would grow deeper and that we are always close at heart.

It was 30 degrees (never been this hot whenever I am in London) and I could not believe it as it was going to get hotter the next day!!! And I thought I could get away from the heat at home......

We went to M & S to get some food and oh man the tarts and scones were simply too tempting and guess what? I bought them ALL yum yum, they already so yummy I am sure they taste much better!!!!! Well it says eat on the same day of purchase so without fail I followed instructions!! It was so good but huge that I was so stuffed after I finished it. But I totally enjoyed it, it was not sweet and very crumply! If you ever come this way pls remember to the English strawberry scones with and it MUST go with a cup of Earl Gray tea!! So out of the world and it was truly English yum yum!!!

My best friend is married and she is Mrs Tan now!!! It is such an important date!!!

Well all these while she thought that I would be a Mrs before her but I guess there is no guarantee in life. But I am so happy for her, finally she has somebody to love her and to take care of her!

It was a simple affair at the Art House. Just the ceremony and the FOOD. But too bad I could not stay for the whole event coz I had to go for a flight. Well at least I am able to make it to take pictures and to witness the biggest decision my best pal has to make in her life.

Martino is a nice guy sometimes too nice, may not be a fun boyfriend but I am sure he will make a good husband! (He better be a great husband if not............). It is not easy to find somebody to love you, moreover, for the rest of your life. It takes a lot of effort and commitment to do so, so Mr & Mrs Tan this is just the beginning of the end and always an uphill so keep it going. And guess what he is her 1st boyfriend and sister here had to date so many people and had my heart broken so many times. Guess I had to go through more to meet the best!

Gloomy day in Singapore and has been raining ever since I dun know when. Well at least it is cooling and not all that hot like in July (wow that time was bad man)

Shanghai- what shall I do there? Massage is a must just that I have to decide how many hours hahaha but it is really good and cheap there. And the foot reflexology is out of this world and it is half the price in Singapore. I would really say that the service in China is good, better than Singapore that is. In China everything also can one la, cannot also can. They would really go all out to make you happy. 

Here is an illustration for why I say that.

We often go for massage right after we wake up from our nap and would go there empty stomach. That day that we were there, it was raining cats and dogs outside but we were hungry and asked if they sell food there. They did not but was more than happy to go in the rain to help us buy food and when they came back they did not want to accept any tips from us. They just said:' It is ok and enjoy the food, how about a cup of tea to go along with it?'

Where to find in Singapore? They would just tell you that food is not allowed.

I have always been proud to be a Chinese and after watching what a show the Chinese has put up for the Olympics, I am even more convince that only the Chinese can put up such a magnificent show. Go China!!!

Just a note, I would rather do a China flight than Australia or India flight (people are easier to handle and not so demanding)
