andrew and esther *
Saturday, March 10, 2007 <3 this is the new beginning
ahh it's realli been such a long time since i last blogged... not tt i dun wanna, but juz realli couldn't find time to haha =x anw... i left off in my previous post in january huh... there has been quite alot of ups and downs between us ever since my A's last year and many times it seemed like it wuz realli gg to end rite there... haha one might question whether our relationship is on e the rocks... i would say "yes" and "no" hahaha... well no relationship is smooth sailing wat... there're bound to be times we're thrown onto e edge of e cliff, on e verge of letting go and giving up the journey so far... but well i'm extremely glad to say, we're still holding on strong =))))
we all noe tt getting along tgt as a couple is so much more than juz falling madly in love n all... like how i told esther e nite b4, our relationship is like a little seedling... i am the sunshine and she's the water, and so without either one e seedling won't survive... over this past year, i would say this seedling has grown into a tiny little tree, with its first leaves popping outta its still tiny stalk (not trunk yet haha)... here i realli wanna thank esther, for being the water that nurtures our little plant for this past year, so tt it absorbs nutrients n grows taller each day =))))
so there wuz anniversary, which wuz rather simple, which wuz wat we wanted all along... i mean, after celebrating like EVERY month, which we cannot even recall all of e places we went to eat at these months, tho some were extremely memorable, we thot tt juz each other's company wuz so much more significant than eating at posh restaurants n expensive gifts fer each other... haha our valentines' day this yr wuz more memorable!!! haha...
yep, so we finally got to spend our valentines' day tgt!!! =x haha after so much contemplation and planning cos she had school and band tt day tt ended onli at 7 plus... okok so this wuz how it went... haha i prepared a special valentines' day menu, enjoyed in a realli romantic candle-lit ambience... hahaha so wat wuz on e "special" menu??? here goes: appetizer - seared beef scrolls in rasberry sauce (it's a very tiny portion, juz one mouthful... my very own creation), main course - baked chicken leg stuffed with mushrooms and herbs (deboning took quite some work haha!), dessert - chocolate ice cream cake (haha her favourite!!)... oh yes i found her all-time favourite chocolate truffle shower cream!!!! hahaha she wuz so thrilled to see tt n tt joy from within realli made me feel so so blessed =))))
n then there wuz chinese new year!!! wheee!!! hahaha she came over to visit my godma n family, who wuz in s'pore fer e chinese new year... came over to my place n i went over to her place yadayadayada... but more memorably wuz our cny movie session n our sushi session!!! haha we did e exact same things as one year ago!! honestly, tho e things tt we did wuz almost e same, e feeling is very much different alr, having spent a year tgt alr, our bond is so much stronger than b4...
ok let's move on to update about my occupation now... having graduated from jc, it feels as if i'm much older alr haha... no more student concessions fer bus rides n so on =(( but well, everything comes wif a price doesn't it?? ok so my 1st job this yr after taking a long break from my recital last dec wuz an export executive wif donaldson filtration, a US mnc... sounds impressive eh? not at all in fact... it's juz some boring job overseeing e outsourced logistics company making sure they're doing their job... no parters, no colleagues... haha how sad huh... so i quit... then thereafter i became a relief teacher at beatty secondary school... challenging n inspiring i would say... interacting n teaching a different group of kids from where i came from.. when i'm teaching them, i'm learning bout them at e same time too haha.. one thing fer sure, their outspoken nature n thirst fer knowledge realli impressed me, n changed my perspective towards e usual stereotypical neighbourhood school kid... now tt's wat i call a good job haha... get to learn stuffs... well tt wuz temporary too... finally i'm at my current job, which is a customer service officer wif cpf board... n guess wat, i'm posted to potong pasir cc!!! haha i applied fer e transfer from my allocated kampong glam cc cos it's so much nearer to college so i can get to spend time wif esther despite my odd n long working hours =D well i would say this is my most satisfactory job so far haha... apart from being able to spend more quality time wif esther, i learnt so much more about e poorer side of s'pore, n being frontline service staff, i learnt bout how blessed i am to hav so many things alr, a good family, a fairly good academic record, good frens, n more imptly a great romance n a stable job (b4 ns =(( )... ok tt's alot bout me alr haha...
wat bout esther?? well she bz preparing fer BT1!! her very 1st battle this yr b4 heading on to BT2, prelims n finally, the As.. well seeing her so hardworking puts me at relief cos she's working hard... haha she needs occasional reminders n nagging to takkaire of her own health... so frens out there of hers reading this, please remind her to takkaire of her health!!! =X hahaha... well she's not in this alone cos i noe even tho i can't be there, i'll do wadeva i can in this period while i'm still available n also free time during ns to help her out... oh yes i got a realli nice notebook!!! haha i'm reading newspapers almost everday to pick out good articles to help her out wif her general knowledge to tackle GP n econs essays haha... i'm sure it'll help her alot cos she hardly hav any time to read or follow news nowadays... ahh i'm glad i'm of some help at least, than a hindrance to her studies hahaha... hmmm seeing her put in so much effort wif such determination, i'm sure she'll do well in her A's!!! maybe even better than me!!! haha
ok tt brings me to my A level results which wuz released not too long ago... well i got A B C n A2 fer GP... not bad i would say but definitely below expectations la haha... well God has His plans fer me, so i'll juz move on n see wat He has installed fer mi in my life! haha well esther muz be feeling stressed now again reading this portion bout A levels n results n studies hahaha...
okok enuff of those... ahh how times flies huh.. in 1 month exactly, i'll be moving on to my next phase in life - NS. how exciting huh... *hurhur* ok nvm i shall stop sounding like a sarcastic fool... hmmm i'd say my biggest worry is esther once i get into army... i noe i'll take some time to get used to her absence, n so will she... well absence makes e heart fonder i hope =) i'm actualli quite relieved to a certain extent tt she's got realli nice bandmates n classmates to push her on in my absence n once again thank God fer tt... this, i would say, is a new beginning fer both of us... no point feeling sad, getting emo n all... let's juz face it... i'm sure our little plant is strong enuff, after a year, to withstand this period of "drought" haha... tho lesser water n sunlight, but still we'll be standing strong, i'm sure =)))
well it's been a period of many ups n downs, great times n rough patches... but one thing fer sure: i feel realli realli blessed to hav esther in my life n rite now i juz wanna cherish every moment wif her b4 i enter NS, n make e most outta this one month left =D once again, thank you darling fer being e you in my life... i love you esther...
