Quick update

I'm at the bf's push cart with him! It's outside National Library.

Haw haw. 8 hours with him. :)

Exiled to my room again.

Asked my executive if I can return to work, cos I feel that I'm better. She told me better not, this stage is when the disease is still contagious. She asked me to return back to work only after my MC ends, which is until Monday. She told me she heard from her husband that if my MC hasn't ended and I go out, and people catch my disease, they can sue me. And she asked me to guai guai stay at home. And I'm like, "Okay... I'll stay at home."

Today is Wednesday. There are still Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday...

5 more days of being cooped up in the house. I spend most of this unwanted free time reading. But the books run out, and I have to go back to the library.

I went and met the bf again yesterday. Was supposed to meet him again today but I think I shouldn't. In case he gets it too. We kissed twice last night. OMG... Regrets regrets. I'm just praying he doesn't get it. But if he gets it, I'll have the excuse of going to his place to visit him, but all I want is to cuddle him. But I really, sincerely hope he doesn't get it.

This period of staying at home is very similar to that period of time when I had to stay home after the surgery for my infection. AND THAT IS DEPRESSING.

With all this free time, my mind tends to wander. I think of all the things I shouldn't be thinking about. Like. My. Boyfriend. Is. Seeing. His. Ex. Everyday. Because. They. Are. Working. Together.

I can't complain. Because I know what that will lead to. But he reads my blog. And baby, it's up to you if you want to have a talk about this.

It's not that I don't trust you. I know you love me. It's... jealousy. She can see you for 9 hours a day, but I can't.

I went out. Finally.

Finally stepped out of the house yesterday. Went to meet the bf at the National Library after his Japanese class. I feel that I've healed considerably, my pox have all dried up and what are left of them are only scabs. But not too many of them, some have already disappeared.

It was raining, so I grabbed his arm and we shared an umbrella and walked to Raffles City to have our lunch at Burger King, but bumped into my secondary school classmates Vernon, Fu Ping and another guy. Then after our meal we walked back to the National Library and the bf went to meet the guys in charge of the push carts outside the library. The bf rented one of them and his cart is officially open today.

Then we went into the library and found ourselves seated on a couch at a little corner. As we were reading he came and put an arm around me. I guess my senses were on high or something cos every one of his touches and caresses felt like they were filled with electricity. That's something he rarely does, you know, casually putting one arm around me, but I love it love it love it love it when he does that. I couldn't concentrate on my reading, my senses were all paying their 100% attention on his right hand, which was caressing and stroking my skin while he's reading. And then I was leaning into him and smiling to myself for quite some time. I really really really didn't want that moment to end but he signaled for us to go off 15 minutes before the library closed.

We rarely share intimate moments together, except for the times I go over to his place. I guess that's the reason why we cherish our time together and really appreciate each other's company. I think falling in love has made me a much much happier person and really, although our 2nd anniversary was over recently, I still feel like we're only at the beginning. I think overall, we're a very happy couple. We seldom fight, we treat each other well, we get along, we have fun. That's enough, isn't it?

Valentine's Day was over just recently. He got me a 1 metre long soft toy rose (and something else for my own pleasure) but really, everyday is Valentine's Day if the couple are happy.

Excuse me, I just need to release myself by writing all this once in a while. It's embarrassing to talk to people about my relationship, so this is the only medium to express my feelings regarding my love life.

The MV is done! :)

Bored

As you can guess. I've nothing to do. So urm, I switched this damn machine on and stuck my eyes on the screen and flew through space. Nah. Just went around looking for a new skin and found this.

Kind of happy with it.

My cousin arrived earlier this afternoon. She's here to fill in the application form for the Poly intake. Or something. I have no idea.

I'm literally living in a bubble. In my own world. I haven't been out since Tuesday (that may be a good thing, with that darn terrorist escaping). Has the world changed?

Iwannagoout.Iwannagoout.Iwannagoout.Iwannagoout.Iwannagoout.
Letmeout.Letmeout.Letmeout.Letmeout.

I'll do nothing for the rest of the day. Except stare at this picture of Ngak.

Ngak!

I know this song is so 'last year', it's one of 881's soundtracks, but omigosh these days all this song does is get stuck in my head!



Ngak is hot!

I'm chicken pox-ed!

Huiling had it a few weeks ago, although it wasn't confirmed then. So she went to work, and I caught it from her. And it was only on Monday that my body showed the signs of chicken pox. Huiling called me a little after work and asked if I have chicken pox, cos 2 of her cousins and her brother have it. I looked myself in the mirror and was kind of freaked by the number of pimples on my face, and I told her, no, I've only got a lot of "pimples".

Then went to meet Peiying to go Mustafa cos she had to buy some things. While waiting for her at the bus interchange, I happened to glimpse at my hand, and noticed 2 spots. Okay... Then I whipped out the mirror and inspected my face and I went, "Surely not....?" I called up Huiling again to tell her but she sounded a little irritated, maybe because of the pressure of everyone blaming her that they got the virus from her.

I had a fever last Saturday. I was thinking maybe it was some kind of flu. But actually it was one of the symptoms of chicken pox.

So anyway, turned out Peiying and I didn't talk that much on Monday. Most of the time we were looking out for plain red tees that cost $2, headbands, and yellow pants, and she was shouting into my phone for quite some time. I was feeling lethargic and dreading the stupid virus. Well, went home quite late.

The next day, Tuesday, Huiling went with me to the polyclinic (thanks). Got a load of medication and 4 bottle of calamine lotion for the itch, of which I have only used once. And the 70 tablets which I've got to finish taking, makes my stool watery. And ever since Tuesday, I've been exiled to my room, cos Ethan is around during the day. I can't go out (the doc says it's illegal for me to go out before I fully recover), my ma insists that I can't eat a load of different food (bananas, mangoes, chicken, egg, chilli, cucumbers), she insists on cooking bland and tasteless food for me, I'm lonely ( I WANT THE BF!!!! ), and being alone in the room makes me think of some things and my hormones go absolutely off-the-hook. Oh man, this is going to be a looooooooooong week. And did I say this is going to be a long week? This is definitely going to be a hellofa long week. AND I still have not calculated the amount of money that I am supposed to have earned. Bugger.

PEIYING! I hope I have not spread this stupid virus to you. Although I guess you would have to check your body for symptoms in about 3 weeks time.

The Singapore Flyer

The bf and I went to check out the Singapore Flyer. But too bad it wasn't opened to the public yet, the security guard told us we could walk around the first level. There was a company function going on that day, we could see staff carting tables and chairs into the capsules.

Ah Meng's Funeral

I work at the Zoo. So it was natural that I went and took a look.




It was one of the saddest days at the zoo.

I'm 19!

I'm no longer a teenager now. Have finally grown into adult age. Feels kind of funny because I've just only recently felt more "womanly".

Anyway, the bf came over yesterday morning after his interview and bought me a cake!

I love fruit cakes. :)

And then after that things sort of went downhill after we arrived at Jurong East because I couldn't make up my mind where I wanted to go. He got a little annoyed. Sorry. Things perked up after 3pm, we decided to go to Jurong Point and he treated me to Ichiban Sushi. And then I went home feeling a little more happy.

Day spent at Chinese & Japanese Garden

Haven't got time to blog lately, so am going to update everything now.

Ended up going to Japanese Garden with the bf on the 23rd. First reason is cos we've run out of places to sight-see and the library gets a little boring once in a while. So, it's good to enjoy a little nature and get a little sun now and then. But man, that place is a great place for couples. The other people who are in the area are miles away. We didn't see a lot of people around that day, just the occasional grass-cutter or leaves-sweeper, or other couples looking to enjoy a quiet day out together.

So it was just me, the bf, and the sun. We went up a little slope and rested in a shelter but ended up staying there for quite a while, enjoying the warm breeze and each other's company as we lay our heads on each other's laps, in turn. There were no one around to disturb us, except for the few white storks picking about on the grass.

Oh yeah, and with a newly bought camera, comes a new found love for photography. Managed to shoot some pictures that day, but not a lot, though.
That's the monitor lizard we saw. This is actually the zoomed-in pic of the monitor lizard cos obviously I couldn't get too close to it. It escaped into the river when I went closer.

Am Sick

Feeling sick. Having a really fantastic runny nose. But after swallowing a little yellow pill my nose doesn't feel that bad. Hope will feel better by tomorrow cos it sucks when your voice is all nasal and whiny and you have to talk to people and you're sniffling and the customer's looking at you and thinking, "what's with your nose?" And then I'm trying not to spread my germs and bacteria to my colleagues and courteously going out of the shop to chuck my used tissues, but it's kind of a chore.

Whatever. Imagine me in my nasal voice.

Oh yuck.

January babies birthday celebration at Night Safari

This month we've got 6 people from Zoo retail shop who are celebrating their birthdays, including me. So we all decided on a date to celebrate. Not surprisingly, it was held at Ulu Ulu Restaurant at Night Safari, cos it's the nearest and most convenient place for us.

It was the usual. We had dinner, they brought the cake out and blah blah blah. All the part-timers have got a red and white Nike jersey with a number and their name at the back, but the January babies are all for free, and that's our birthday presents. Here's mine:
Some photos we took that night. :)

People staying over again

My cousin and her friend will be in Singapore for a few days. Apparently they’re here for the Poly open-house and everything. They want to study in Singapore. They’ve gone to Bugis. Luckily no one asked me to bring them sight-seeing. I’m feeling a little down and lazy due to the once-every-month thing. My room is kind of in a mess, and a pair of panties is hanging on the windows. Hur hur.

I feel like crap. Like I’m only a quarter conscious.

Off day today

Am going to meet the bf later on. I’m still not convinced he’s recovered, although he insists that he’s okay. I tickled Ethan into fits of giggles this morning. What a sight it was. Haha. He’s sound asleep now. Probably dreaming of my tickling.

3rd day spent at home... Doing whatever I like

Turned out Joey couldn’t meet me today. So I’ve got the whole day to myself again. The bf’s still sick. Didn’t really spend the whole day at home, went out a little earlier to update my bank book. The pay is only $400 plus due to the 3 weeks I spent at home, ABSOLUTELY DOING NOTHING, while waiting for the hole in my ass to heal. Then went to the library to return 2 overdue books and pay a $2 fine. Then borrowed another Haruki Murakami novel and a Zits comic book. Then went home and had lunch.

Then I’m now sitting here. When I’m not working, my life’s pretty boring. But today I’ve got Ethan to keep my company. But he just woke up from his nap and my ma’s bathing him now and he’s not in a good mood. He’s whining and crying.

Well, guess I’ll just… waste my time today.

Update

Hello world! It’s a Sunday morning! Most Sunday mornings I wake up at 7:30am and rush off to work but tada! No work today! Am as happy as a duckling paddling in a pond.

Wanted to see the bf initially but he’s got slight food poisoning. So I’ve got another day all to myself! And actually wanted to ask Orlina out but I had second thoughts about it, cos the thought of the amount of money I SURE WILL SPEND put me off. Then again, I’m maybe meeting Joey tomorrow. Hmmm.

In case you’re wondering why this blog’s url is chasingmysun instead of chasingthesun, it’s cos chasingthesun already exists in WordPress, so the next alternative is chasingmysun, although I’ve got to admit it doesn’t really sound as nice as chasingthesun. But I don’t want to change the url of my blog to something else cos it’s stuck with me for so long, and thinking about a new url for the blog will really take up some of my time… Whatever, so long as it’s catchy and people remember it, I don’t really mind.

I’m in quite a good mood now, so I guess I’ll just surf this endless infinite space of the World Wide Web and I’ll probably spend the rest of the day with my Haruki Murakami novel.
