I don't know what I was thinking when I was blogging halfway and I went and accidentally (or absent mindedly?) close down the page. And now I have to type all over again which I will not be bothered to anymore. At least, not now because I'm super frustrated and tired already.
Anyway, today is our 6th year being together so happy 6th year being together to us.
I love you you love me and good night.
I'll update tomorrow when I feel like it.

Hey babe, let's have a pictorial flashback k?
Somewhere in 2002, we began talking, seeing each other and later, dating. I was never into it whole-heartedly. The last thing I expected this to be is for it to last as long as up till now.
For our 1st year, we didn't celebrate. We were still in school so probably we were busy preparing for exams. Ok YOU were busy with exams and I was busy bumming around or skipping school. But I know we remembered the day.This is a picture of us in 2003.
We were young and carefree. Maybe you were not carefree, but I sure as hell was. Sometimes I liked your presence, sometimes I didn't. I was once taking things for granted, not knowing how precious and great you were to me that time. (Yes lah I know we used to look damn ugly and weird lah)
2004, the year we left school, you went to college, I worked part time for half a year before I went to Form 6. It was the time when I learn to appreciate the things around me. It was the time when I learn how to bother and care about things; about us. There wasn't a picture of our 2nd year toghether but I know we remembered.
December 2004, my school's prom night. (purposely chose this picture cos the rest are like shit)
December 2004, my 18th birthday at Sushi King. We were in the car about to leave JJ when you suddenly said you need to go pay for the parking ticket and when you came back, you took out a long rectangular box and there I saw it, a brand new Swatch for me. =)
On our 3rd year, my grandpa passed away 2 days before the day. Another year without celebration; but none of us will forget what we have been through.
September 2005, your 19th birthday surprise at Manda's house. There were Manda, Sam, Aileen, Kyle, How Keat and myself who came as a surprise cos I lied to you saying I had to work and I turned up later.
December 2005, my school's prom night again. My last school prom cos it was my last year in high school doing upper 6.
December 2005, my 19th birthday. It was one of the best birthdays I ever had. Everyone started to ffk me and refused to meet me when all I wanted was to spend the night with them on my birthday and all of a sudden all of them came out from one corner and surprised me. Everyone which I wished to spend my birthday with, everyone. I was too happy I couldn't even make an expression but to smile so widely my gums became more prominent than my teeth in all the pictures. Thanks to everyone who made it happen.
On our 4th year, I posted an entry. I realised I have found more than just love, and happiness. I found something which I want to keep for the rest of my life.
Jan 2006, we went to Sunway Petting Zoo with my sister.
February 2006, Valentine's. An album of all our pictures for the past few years together and a very pretty bouquet of lilies.
March 2006, we secretly went to Genting when my parents were at China. =D
June 2006, As a token of our 4th year anni, we got a pair of matching rings and engraved the day's date,
and our names.
November 2006. After 2 years of attending my school's prom, finally it was my turn to be your partner in your college's prom. I remember it was on the same day as my mom's birthday and I felt so bad that I couldn't be there to celebrate it with the family but assured myself that it's ok cos this'll be the last prom we're going to go together and we agreed to spend more quality time together since you were gonna leave for Melbourne soon.
We hit the club along with everyone else after the prom and got pissed drunk.
And made out as if tomorrow's the end of the world.
December 2006, my 20th birthday at Marche.
On our 5th year, I was a very lucky woman to have the opportunity to fly across the ocean and be with you and celebrate our 5th year together.
January 2007, Singapore.
February 2007, my farewell gift for you. I remember deep inside I was crying when I slowly wrapped this up.
On the same day, after a hug, you left for Melbourne.
February 2007, my Valentine's gift to you which includes an online letter. Lots of thanks to Aileen who helped me to pass it to you.
And your gift to me (also brought to me by Aileen) which was supposed to be a surprise but I somehow found out about it because I was such a kaypoh I went and look through your planner -.-
June 2007, on our anniversary, we had a 5 course French meal on a tram called the Colonial Tramcar Restaurant to commemorate our 5th anni.
December 2007, the day I picked you back from the airport you surprised me with this, a cake all the way from Brunetti, Melbourne for my 21st birthday which you couldn't come back on time to celebrate with me! =D
February 2008, Valentine's. It was a day before you leave for Melbourne again. You purposely chose to go back to Melbourne on the 15th because you wanted to celebrate Valentine's with me.
On our 6th year, that's today.
And now, you're sitting next to me doing your work while I type this using your computer, in your apartment, in Melbourne.
Years ago, I have never imagined this to happen. You working in a foreign country, me visitting you and staying with you, us being so long together. But look how far we've reached. Life is full of surprises.
We were looking through our old pictures (in a folder of at least 20GB) and we were laughing at how we used to look and amazed at how much we've changed. Life is full of surprises.
I like how you are serious with your studies and work and at the same time you do funny things and look so retarded sometimes.
I like how you describe to me how you never fail to fall asleep in lectures.
And most importantly...
I'VE CONVERTED YOU INTO A CAMWHORE!
I like this!
And this!
And best of all this! Baby why are you so cute! And I like how you can be looking so boring outside but actually you can be cute sometimes =D
Happy 6th year anniversary. It has been great having you around, and it'll be greater in years to come =)
Love ya =)

The day began with brunch.
At The Pancake Parlour which wasn't really cheap for just pancakes. A meal cost around AUD 20 (RM 60). So we took the lunch fare meals which was not as expensive and came with a drink.
My glass of latte which was too sweet because I so stupid went and add too much sugar. Everytime I added one pack of sugar and stirred, I tasted from the spoon which was all just the froth and I thought it wasn't sweet enough. Then I kept adding and adding and when I finally tasted the drink it was already too sweet. So stupid la me.
His: Bacon, sunny side eggs and buttermilk pancakes topped with whipped butter.
Yes you see that scoop of yellow thing which looks like icecream, it's butter. I didn't know it was butter at first and I used my knife and dug out a dallop of butter and put it into my mouth. Then only I realised it's not icecream because instead of cold and sweet, it was oily and salty. Can you imagine the amount of fats I just consumed T____T
But then it was really good with the pancakes T____T
Mine: Salad and potato pancake with a golden crust of melted cheese topped with whipped butter. This is not like the conventional sweet pancake but it was more on the savoury taste.
DAMN NICEEEEEEE seriously I have never tasted pancakes which was sooooo nice.
Oooh look at the soft potato pancake and the layer of melted cheese crust soaked in the melted butter ummmmmmmm.
Oh god why is it only food as fattening as that will taste so good T___T
There was a giant chess set behind our seats. After our meals we went over and played.
Thinking hard for my next move and trying to act pro but actually I know nuts about chess though I know how to play a little bit and I used to think chess is a boring game.
Basically playing with a school's representing team player is kinda pointless. But I enjoyed the game. And I THINK I begin to have a little bit interest on chess already.
There was a very annoying mirror at the entrance. It made us look like,
A midget! Mirrors which make u look short are bad mirrors!
Ok after having the hearty meal of such good pancakes, I think the they're not that expensive afterall. Good things come with a price. So it was kinda worth it.
After brunch we went to Federation Square and had a walk by the river side.
Some aboriginal art carved onto the floor. Look at our new shoes! <3<3<3
Some aboriginal-looking sculpture which I have no idea what it is at all.
So we were actually walking along the Birrarung Marr and the river mentioned is actually Yarra River.
That's Yarra River.
Another native sculpture.
Trying to get a picture with the buildings behind like the previous picture but failed.
Federation Square.
Having some fries from Lord of the Fries.
Some night views which were quite nice;
I think this one is really pretty.
We went back home shortly after that because it was really freezing outside.
Candid =D
He made dinner =)
Claypot chicken rice but it was cooked with a stainless steel pot cos we don't have claypothahahaha.
And here are our anniversary gifts for each other.
Yesterday I mentioned I bought something for him, well here is it.
Yes, Country Road AGAIN.
Haha so cute =D
Country Road Nylon Weekender Tote Bag
Tote it.
Sling it.
Er, I don't know what's the right term for this way of holding so I'll just say... carry it lah. wtf.
Mine and his! Now we're a couple, using couple bag some more hehehe. The size of both bags are about the same but his has higher details in its built, stronger materials used and better quality buckles.
We talked about this bag weeks ago and I wasn't sure if I should get this bag for him or not so I sneaked in some questions asking him what would he do with this bag and that was when I realised it could be good to get it for him since he sounded like it's a really useful bag and he really likes it. And I knew considering the price he will never fork out the money to get it so yeah. A bag he wanted. =)
Now he has a new bag for uni. Something big enough to keep his study models and books and all the other junks. Don't have to worry having not enough hands to carry his bag and models anymore cos this bag is so big it can even fit a dog inside.
And as for me, he got me something which I have never expected him to get.
Longchamp Le Pliage hobo bag. (Picture taken from the website since I don't have it now, due to some circumstance I can only get it tomorrow)
I remember I said I thought it's nice and I was contemplating in getting it but I've never expected him to say that he'll get it for me and not even this design because previously I was actually eyeing on another design before I notice this one which is better.
So yesterday he told me this'll be a gift to me for our anni. =)
Hey, the best gift from you is me being able to be here with you celebrating today. Nothing else matters (of course I won't mind getting it hahahahaha).
So, that was our 6th anni. It's not as lavish as compared to our 5th year where we spent a small fortune on the tramcar restaurant having fine French dinner and this year we only had homecooked claypot chicken rice. But it doesn't matter because what's more important is to be able to be together, one breath away from each other, and celebrate the day regardless of how expensive or simple it is.
Happy 6th anniversary agan =)
