Da da da da da - the Simpsons
We also caught Simpsons on TY's actual bday! It was funny - the usual Simpsons stuff... Great story line though - it was certainly amazing how the story unfolded. The only disappointment was Maggie's first words...
TY's Bday was a blast!
HAPPY BLESSED BDAY TO DEAR TY!
TY's bday bash at Bell's place was great! It was celebrated on Sunday afternoon after church... Thanks to Wenyang who helped organised and everyone else who helped around with the food. TY had awesome food - roast chicken, pesto, pasta, mashies, wine... It was like a huge feast! I was a wee bit jealous - don't think I had that kind of food cooked for me for my bday before. Hee hee! TY got a few presents too. His bro gave him a Transformers poster, Xing and Ping gave him this book about aliens, everyone else gave him the extended version of Lord of the Rings videos. I gave him a Bumblebee mousepad that he is now using for work, a Transformers PC game, and a few Transformers posters that are on the way (hopefully one of them isn't the same one his bro got). And of course, on Saturday, for lunch, Mary and Dave brought TY to this cool place... although I kinda forgot the name of the place... oops!
Anyway, at the Sunday bash, everyone got him mango cheesecake and the funny thing was that the night before, we went out for dinner and Wenyang was secretly messaging me from across the table asking me what TY wanted or what cake he liked to eat. TY was oblivious to the whole thing... haha... Kinda dodgy.
At church, we had welcome night and after, Jess got Bell to play TY and herself their bday songs. Bell's bday is coming soon! I couldn't resist giving her her present and really wanted to see her reaction - she was pretty happy with the lime green bag we gave her. =)
Before the bday, I actually organised a little something for TY at Max Brenner's with a few close friends as it was his actual bday day. Only he didn't realise I snuck two candles from my place and when we got there, I put them on the waffles that I ordered for him. He didn't want us to sing too loudly so we were singing in a muffled tone which sounded quite sad. I guess we made up for it twice - at church and at Bell's place. =)
Sadly, I couldn't stay long cause I had to work and TY couldn't really stay long either cause he had a dinner at his aunt's. But what mattered most was he enjoyed it!

Jessie's Bday Celebration
HAPPY BLESSED BDAY TO DEAREST JESSIE, HAPPY BDAY TO YOU!
Livia organised a special bday surprise for Jess. I wasn't sure how surprised she was or whether she knew about it... I kinda missed quite a bit of the beginning because I actually came straight from work, and when I did arrive, all the food was gone. TY was so sweet cause he kept food for me, and some people were so sweet to keep me company while I was eating in the kitchen area. Thanks, guys.
Jess has turned the big 2-0, so now she's legal adult who can do so many things. Hee hee. But Jess... here's my little sharing to you... it was during my drama ministry leading days when I met Jess, and I guess we hit it off from there. We hung out around church a lot, talking about nonsense stuff as well as serious stuff, and I often hung out at her place because her brother had all these gatherings - it was good times. We would compare earrings and buy the same pair... but then we both lost one side of the pair of danglings that we bought a while back. Haha! Memorable times though.
Anyway, I truly have to thank Jess for putting up with all my complaints... you think she complains a lot? I think I complained far worse when I was with my ex, and when TY was with his ex. Can't imagine that this poor gal had to sit through TY and his ex's arguments, and also sit through my rambling on about my ex at that time...
I think I've seen most of Jess' personalities - her ups and downs, her confusion, her disppointments, her complaints, her loud-go-crazy persona, - everything that makes Jess so lovable. Jess is also one person who can keep secrets. She's a true sister and friend to me, and for those who just know her loud self, beyond that, if you get to know Jess, she's actually a great listening ear, offers reasonable suggestions or solutions, great company, great entertainment, caring, and so much more. I feel blessed to have a friend and sister like ya, Jess, and I truly thank God for you. (It's much easier to say on paper than in front of an entire group like that day... kinda daunting) At least now you know how much we love ya! Here's cheers to a lifelong friendship between us! =)

Off to Sydney for Work
It is confirmed! I am off to Sydney to work at Ch 9 on the 7 August, Tuesday till 15 August, Saturday. I'm excited, but I am thinking the excitement will be short-lived, because the day I arrive is the day I immmediately head into work - and I'll be working most of my time there that I won't actually get any time to shop or walk around.

It's all about Love...
Recently, I accidentally sent out a Friendster Friend Request to everyone in my email address book, and it went to my most recent ex-boyfriend. He replied saying that he doesn't think I should be considered his friend and just an acquaintance. But that wasn't all... He started going on about the hurt and betrayal I have caused him and was bringing TY into it. He said, "The truth of the matter is that I was deeply hurt by both of you and I'm not putting myself on the firing line to be shot again." (one of his lines via a Frienster message) After reading the entire thing, I was like "What the? Why do you have to explain or repeat what has happened from about 2 years ago?"
Anyway, that was OK that he didn't want to be my friend. Some people think it's better not to be friends with their exs and I respect that.
What really stirred things up was when I found out by other sources that a rumour was being spread saying I cheated on him (A) with TY. This was never the case. Of course there are a few of you guys who know the real deal here. But I shall explain to the curious... 1) A and I broke up - people knew about this. 2) After A and I broke up, TY and I had some flirting going on at someone's place and people knew about this. 3) TY and I started going out and people knew about this - some expected it to happen and weren't surprised. I admit though that it was pretty quick to get together with TY, but I never cheated on A. 4) A saw TY and I together hand in hand on the streets. At this stage, it was only our second date and we hadn't officially told anyone, so he found out the wrong way. 5) A SMSed me the night saying "So all this while, you've been lying to me and cheating me behind my back with TY. I can't believe you just betrayed me." I tried to tell him this was not true, but he shut me out, not wanting to hear what I had to say. This led to witnesses, friends who saw TY's and my flirtatous gestures and how TY and I got together, to go up to him and tell him exactly what happened. Again, he shut us out and continued to believe what he saw. We could not say anything anymore, because he just would not listen. A is kinda like that. If he has a concept/idea that he strongly believes, he'll stick by it. Pride perhaps...
So, that was the scenario... I was pretty angry and hurt at the same time and I couldn't believe for starters, that even though our break-up had been a while ago, the rumour that I was cheating on A had spread across my church fellowship.
Well, I felt I had to clear the rumour up with A, so I wrote A an email. I emailed him to justify myself to try and stop these rumours spreading. Why I thought the rumours were spread from him? It's because he believed I cheated on him in the first place. Plus I couldn't think of anyone else who would cook up such a story except him really. I mean, this has been so long ago, but it seems to be recurring - every year, A would send me a hurtful reminder of how much I had hurt him, and if he continues to do that, it means he hasn't forgotten or forgiven or let go like he said he had in the message. I actually felt a bit bad for emailing his girlfriend too, but I thought that perhaps she'd be able to relate and put some kind of sense across to him, if he did spread those nasty remarks.
Well, today, he replied to that email regarding my accusation and he said he didn't spread that rumour. So now I am confused, because I am thinking "Who did?" It's unlikely that someone else will cook up a story like that. Also, he was the one who SMSed me the night after seeing TY and I on the streets, saying that I betrayed him, I had cheated on him all the time I was together with him, blah blah... So how was I to think that it wasn't him? I guess I will never really know if he's told the truth. Then again, he went on to say if I find the culprit, I should bring the culprit to him and clear it up with him. My response to that was "What? Are you kidding me?" Not sure if he was trying to be funny, but I told him that if he didn't spread those rumours, then basically not only TY and my reputation would be tarnished, his as well.
And just for the curious souls - thought I mention a few main pointers why I ditched him in the first place... I admit that in the past, I must have hurt him a lot when I was together with him. Maybe cause I was younger and didn't really feel like committing to a long-term relationship at that time. That was my immaturity back then... I used to run away from relationships if the other party got too serious and didn't want to think of settling down at all. I was also very study, study, study, and career-minded, as some of you might know. I was always ambitious, planning for travel and career pathways... Now though, my goals are different. I would really like to plan for a fam some day. A also gave me lots of uncertainties... it was like at times, I would feel that there is a slight possibility he may be the one, and at other times, it felt like it was not to be at all. To tell you guys the truth, I could not see myself marrying A at all. I might have been irrational at some points of our arguments as well, but our personalities clashed a lot and we thought differently. Every time I thought something, even if it was something simple, we never thought it the same way. We were certainly very different people. I am usually an outspoken person who love sharing my views or thoughts, but A would keep a lot to himself and I would struggle trying to communicate with him. Also, friends and parents didn't approve of him, and that was a big deal to me. He had the perspective of "it's just us" but a relationship is not about "just us", it's about everyone else who loves you to, or those around you. I guess what attracted me to him in the first place was probably his love for God and his spiritual insight to things. There's always the "But" - But while there was the spiritual growth, everything else was lacking... physically, emotionally, mentally, psychologically.
Now though, I have TY who is nothing like A. And I'm glad I wasn't the same in terms of relationships as I was before... I wasn't ready back then for a long-term commitment and now, I guess I am more confident and prepared for one. I also learnt that it's not a good thing to behave the same way as you were in your past relationships cause your new partner will be different. A new relationship is a new relationship and bringing past scenarios is kinda of a dangerous thing because you'll keep thinking your partner was like your ex (if you did have a bad break-up) I guess.
TY and I are indeed growing and learning together, and I enjoy his company and having numerous conversations with him (some pointless and some with sentiment, and of course, there are the ones where we butt heads). But overall, I have to say TY is like "unique, special treasure" and I don't think there's anyone who can truly replace him. Not that I know of yet... and not that I know what's to come. But we're living it step by step, day by day and we'll seek God for His blessings and guidance over us. For if it's meant to be, it's meant to be, and it will be in His rightful place in His rightful time - all in accordance to His plan. For now though, I will continue to learn to treasure and love my Tee Wee more, for I realised a guy like him is quite hard to come by. But for now, I will stick by him and support him through thick or thin, no matter what. And we'll see where we end up... (Thanks Mary for the little chat)

Thanks, and a special bday to celebrate...
Just to let you guys know TY and I are OK. That day was just a one-off. Thanks for those who have been asking... I know I mentioned not to really ask in my previous post, but kinda appreciated you guys asking, showing concern, caring and most of all praying for us. Thanks again guys! I honestly can't do without friends like you guys and I just wanna give you guys lots of hugs! Even if some of you guys haven't said anything, the company really means a lot, and the friendship of just being there. You guys have been tremendously sweet and lovable and I truly thank God for all of you.
Anyway, TY's first surprise for his bday came. I know his bday is not till a week's time, but the first part of his present from me came early and I was so excited to see the expression on his face that I thought he should open it immediately. So he did. Well, I knew he just lurved Transformers, so I ended up getting him this Transformers mouse pad wrapped in Transformers wrapping. It was actually quite useful because he needed a mouse pad for his desk at work and now he's got one. It's not over yet, 'cause there's still another pressie/pressies on its/their way.

Going to Sydney!
I'm going to Sydney!! Not for a holiday, but for work purposes. I'm not sure when yet, but my boss is sending me over because they are short-staffed over there. I'm only going for about a week, but it'll be an exciting change - change is good. Apparently I get to work on lots of different live stuff at Ch 10, Ch 9 and SBS up there. It'd be an awesome experience. I bet I will be quite overwhelmed in the first few hours before I settle into work mode, but I'm really thrilled. Accommodation, flights and food all paid for! Which also means I get to save on expenses... unless of course I therapeutic shop, which I might.

Feeling Ugh...
I feel sad today - relationship strained - maybe it's the pressure from family, from friends, from acquaintances asking "When's the big day?" and indirectly I'm the one adding pressure on my relationship. *Sigh* I know I shouldn't let things get to me, but these few days, I've been feeling moody, easily irritable and edgy... Work perhaps, family perhaps, the weather perhaps - a lot of perhaps, a lot of maybes. Maybe I accidentally had some of Joel's Telfast which apparently gives you the feeling of depression...
My cousin said it seems to run in the family with the BGR relationship strains. I hope not, but at the moment, it proves true. I know some of you guys had high hopes for us and were waiting to attend the big event... but there's a lot of issues we probably have to work out with ourselves first... as a lot of couples do in time when they have little tiffs... and if we don't work out, don't be surprised I guess.
This will probably be my weirdest post entry, and quite personal. And perhaps it's better not to ask more than what I've just said...
I'm on the negatives at the moment... but the positives will come. Every morning will be a brand new day and another experience to embrace...

Same ol' same ol'
Nothing to report today really. It's quite a boring day... been to work, had a long day, returned home, ate dinner and going to bed soon.
Lots of mail today though - mainly credit card bills and group certificates for tax time! I found a good accountant last year to do my tax so I'll be going back to them. It's easy and convenient, and although you have to pay, you claim back most of it in your next tax return. And I don't mind at all, especially when you can get back much more than say if you fill it up yourself - or rather if I fill it up myself, I'll probably get peanuts. Besides, half the time, I don't really understand all the things about dividends and super and what we can consider as revenue/expense. So I'd rather just take all my receipts and stuff and go to someone who knows about these things I guess. =)

Rat Alley
Hi, it's TY here, finally writing a blog post on Vicky's blog! :)
Vicky wanted me to share this rather amusing story with you guys:
Vicky and I were going to collect tickets for Harry Potter OOTP and we parked in a little alley near the cinema. The alley was not lit, but there was enough ambient light around, and there was enough light coming from both ends to generally see where you were going. We could see the texture of the ground, but not really details.
Basically, I didn't need to use a flashlight, but of course, I pulled one out for fun. hehe.. I wasn't pointing it at anything in particular, just roughly aimed it in front of us. Now I didn't see anything out of the ordinary but Vicky, who was on my left, suddenly let out a scream, and jumped over to my right side and was clutching me really hard!
I pointed my light down towards the left, and on the ground, only a few feet away, was a really large dead rat! Not only was it dead, but it was pretty gruesome too (not sure how much explicit detail I can go into here.. hehe). It looked like maybe a car had run it over quite recently (for all we know, it was our car).
If she hadn't spotted it in the sidespill from my light, she might actually have stepped on it/tripped over it (it was quite large). LOL, ok I know it's a little mean to be laughing, but it really was quite funny when I think back about it.
So yeah, she was saying I had to share this little story as another good reason to carry lights around. So your partners don't step on dead animals! :)
Now that alley shall forever be known as Rat Alley!! hehe... :P

The many things to report...
1) My dad's condition - getting severe. Apparently the pain is increasing and he may need to go for surgery to shorten the cortical bone behind his neck, close to his spine. He's been for a few physiotherapy sessions with his neurologist, but it hasn't helped and it's already been his 7th session. If urgent, he'll need to go for surgery this weekend. If not, he was thinking of going back to Singapore to seek a second opinion and do the surgery there.
2) My uncle is not doing well either - he's got vertigo and has been in and out of hospital this entire week.
3) My parents' relationship is still strained (some of you guys know the story) and I hate to see my mum so upset, but there's been nothing much I can do except pray for her. Sometimes I wish I had enough money to support her or enough to hire a private investigator so she would cease speculating and digging and slowly discovering things my dad has done.
PLEASE PRAY FOR:

PLEASE PRAY FOR:
- His healing hands on my dad and uncle to comfort their pain and prepare them for whatever medical procedures they have to go through. To give them the ease of mind.
- For my parents to learn how to pray together and keep the family together. That my dad will no longer indulge in temptation. That he discards his prideful ways and learn the humble goodness of God. That he will learn how to care for my mum and treat her with respect and dignity like how he has before. That my dad will be a strong role model for both me and my sister. That my dad will rely on His wisdom to know what is right.
- For my mum - I'm so thankful she is continously seeking Him in all she does. Also thankful that God has provided her Christian/Catholic friends for support. That she continues to strengthen her faith and belief in Him. That our good God will continue to protect her, guide her, and encourage her with His many blessings along the way during this hard time. That He will heal her heart in time and prepare her to forgive no matter what. That He be the source in both my dad and my mum's lives to see them through their married lives.
- And for my sis and I, that we continue to remain strong enough to hold the family together in prayer. Especially for my sis, that she doesn't give up on my dad. That she will meet Christian friends that will encourage her, rather than deter her from Christ. I know she is hurting too and really disappointed with my dad, so I just want to pray that her heart is released of all tension, that there'll be peace in her heart and she can afford to let go the hurt.
4) Other than that, the roster is out. My RDOs (Roster Day-Offs) are usually Tues/Wed or Wed/Thur. No more Weekend Sunrise shifts, but there'll be afternoon shifts - but hey, church life, here I come!
5) Bdays are coming up, so I have to shop for pressies soon!

6) I have decided to keep my NAB account. Actually wanted to change over to ANZ because of the increasing bank account fees with NAB, but NAB actually sent me another letter and lessened their withdrawal amount. Grrr! I went through so much trouble opening my personal ANZ account, then I had to change my salary payments and other credit payments to that account, and now NAB decided not to increase their fees any longer. How frustrating.
That's really all for now... Will write soon!
Medical Classes are Ending Soon
As some of you know I'm still having my medical terminology classes every Wednesday at Clayton at the Monash Medical Centre. It's kind of a little thing I am doing to give me a taste of what the medical field is like - and I'm enjoying it lots. A lot of overwhelming info that seems to expand my brain matter, but it's been interesting. For instance, I learnt that another word for bruise is called a contusion. Next week, we have a little excursion to see preserved babies in jars. I know!! How exciting! TY would love to take pics, and I'll try to take pics, but I don't think I can.
Well, final medical class is on Jessie's bday - 25th July.

The New Look Blog
Welcome all!! =) Finally done up my new blog post. Like the new changes? It's still in the works and I had a Shrek design template before, but somehow there were these little tool symbols appearing all over the page and I couldn't get rid of it... So going simplistic for the moment...
So why the new blog vamp, you may ask?
First, I had a few "strangers" commenting, so I was a little bit skeptical in posting my more personal stuff. True that they can probably find me again, but it may be more unlikely? Hmmm...
Second, I thought a new look would be great post-financial year.
