♥A Happy Day :)

Saturday, August 30, 2008

Looking back, it has been an eventful week. My mom suffered another heart attack, underwent the knife, discharged but back again due to food allergy. I feel for my dad as they have never been apart for all these 35 years except for the occasional travelling my mom does with some aunts and cousins etc but they'll never be apart for more than 3 days/nites and of cos the hospital stays. Seeing the agony on h

is face as my mum went thru all these was hard to swallow. It is always painful, in cases like my parents if either party has to leave the world earlier especially when they are inseparatable.

Spoke to Andrea about my mom's condition and explained to him why I am so strict about his intake of sugar and salt. I told him before that no matter what I would rather leave the world before him so that I won't be lonely. Sounds selfish but that's what everybody fear. But because of this fear, I am happy that he has a large circle of closed friends whom I know will always be there for him.

Even when in Japan, I often joked bout him going out to enjoy himself and leaving poor me alone in Singapore, sometimes till the wee hours and coming back the next day at 7am, I am secretly happy for we both have our own life to lead which I do that to him once in a blue moon too. Of cos trust plays a huge part in this as well.

I do not want my partner to feel alone in the world after I am gone for this is the w

orst anyone can face. Neither do I. Having friends and your own social circle is very important as it makes you less dependant on your partner emotionally. It may come across as being strange to most but the person who's gone would rather have their partner move on and continue their daily routine than digress into a world of anguish just cos their partner's gone, so is their life.

Sincerely, I am very thankful for everybody around both Andrea and I for they love we know we will contine to get for a long time to come. Before you get annoyed and accuse your partner for having their time with their own friends, think again.

Andrea went on his sea trial on Monday, it has been 3 days and I still have not heard from him. All I can think of is that he is far away from the coast and that disrupt his mobile reception. Hope he's not eaten up by any gigantic octopus :)

Sigh, now I can only wait for his return on Friday :( MI MANCHI AMORE MIO !!

Oh btw did I say that he got us some similar wallets etc? It's a different set of colorful wallet, card holder etc that we can use separately when we go clubbing etc so it's not cumbersome to carry a huge wallet.....WHAT CAN I DO WITHOUT HIM??

When Andrea was here in March 2008, I took him to different places to try out some of what Singapore has to offer. There are some of the places we went:

Chinatown: We went to the hawker street and ordered Fried Hokkien Mee, Fried Carrot Cake & Spring Roll. He was ok with Spring Roll but not that keen on Carrot Cake...obviously Hokkien Mee stood out.

Red Star: Pushcart Dim Sum place at Chinatown. He loves all the Dim Sum but was particularly fond of the "San Mee" which is fried cripsy noodles top with seafood gravy. He told me that the texture reminds him of pasta when cooked "Al Dente".

Food Court: We had dumpling noodles at the food court in Great World City as we were staying across at Waterfront Corpthorne Hotel. He told me about a type of chinese ravioli and that came to my mind. What a carnivore.

East Coast: Long Beach Seafood Restaurant. He was rambling about having eaten at a place full of seafood near the sea but since he can't recall I took him to Long Beach. We had a bottle of wine there, it was fine. We ordered Venison with Leeks, Sweet Corn Soup with Crabmeat, Cereal Prawns & Black Pepper Crab. He gave a thumbs up to all except that the crab was too spicy for him wahaha USELESS!

For the other food that we ate it's just Italian at Prego's, Pizzeria Giardino at CHIJMES, Tapas Tree at Clarke Quay, Brazil Churrascaria at 6th Avenue etc

When he's here in Singapore again this September, I will introduce him to more local food like Rojak, Char Kuey Teow, Hor Fan, Laksa, Nasi Lemak, Chicken Rice etc....can't wait to hear his review, coming from a land of "food critics".

Seafood is my favourite and of cos in Italy, you are never short of it. I was taken to Jeri last December to meet some of his friends at Lerici and fell in love with it almost instantly

. I was certainly impressed with the way how different seafood were prepared without losing it's original flavor. It was there that I 1st had my experience with Scampi. It turned out to be Andrea's favourite...good choice amore.

This time round, it was just the both of us and since it is summer, we opted for the terrace. To our surprised we had to add 5 euro just for sitting there...well of cos we did. We went there pretty late and by dinner time it was already 9pm, at sunset. The wasn't any menu, it was just chef's creation plates after plates of delights until we were bloated. We had a nice view of the port & the castle, the only downside was the mosquitoe bites that were quite unbearable. Till now, I still have some reminder of these bites :(

My 2nd favourite now is situated at Portverene call Tre Torri. It's easy to spot as it has a wide open space with many children enjoy what summer has to offer, kicking footballs, jumping and screaming all over the place. There must be 20 of us there so we only managed with 2 separated tables. Still we were noisy. Once again we didn't have a menu so food were served in a flowing manner except for pasta. It was once again very good food compared to what we have in Singapore due to the freshness of the seafood.

I just can't wait to go back again during summer to discover more greatness Italy has to offer.

Everybody knows only Japan has it's own exclusive brand of Burberry Blue Label, so does Andrea and he is oh so over the moon about it. He is simply crazy over it and owns a few clothing items so far but being the generous boyfriend he is, I am always included.

We have been talking about getting a nice good wallet for me. Hasn't found the perfect one till last night he presented to me my new wallet! YIPEE I HAVE A NEW WALLET AND IT'S SO BEAUTIFUL! FYI, I have a pair of matching shorts from my last birthday, how about that? It's exactly the right size and right color for me, I can't wait to get it in September.

Of cos he didn't forgot about himself. He bought a new polo shirt and new wallet too. He has an identical shirt in red and this time in pink...I like it cos pink looks good on him :) For his new wallet, he will not use it till I start mine too in September.

It's not the amout of $$ he spend on my gift, it's just how he knows what I like and what suits me that honestly melts my heart. He is always so attentive towards me and he has already won the BEST BOYFRIEND IN THE WORLD! Baby you are the BEST!

I have been extremely busy with my events that I haven't had much time to update.

So sad that I wasn't able to go to Japan cos Andrea is now having what you call "Golden Week Holiday" in Japan...how nice cos they have so much of these holidays! I had to stay put in Singapore due to work commitment and also I can't afford to keep getting away from work :( but well at least I am a responsible working adult haha.

Nevertheless, Andrea does have compay as the daughter of a very closed family friend flew into Japan last Sunday for a 1 week holiday. I met Elisia during my summer trip to Italy. She's a very nice gentle and awfully quiet girl and NO, I am not afraid of them together as I have full trust in Andrea totally. The reason for her coming to Japan is that she is totally in love with Japanese culture and has been dying to visit Japan and why not since he is able to bring her around. Waved to her over MSN last night & she looked totally thrilled about this holiday.

Last night Andrea told me that being the only daughter of a famous Bontanist/Herbalist, she is extremely well versed in trees, plants etc and she was going around telling him about it the whole day, he found it all a bit strange but took it on the positive side since he has nothing to lose but gained more knowledge..BRAVO AMORE MIO!

In life, when you have such a positive partner, it makes your life brighter and as a person more wholesome...awwwww

My boyfriend will be coming to Singapore for 2 months from September till November for work. However I was told that due to lack of staff he will have to work till quite late almost every day and hopefully he'll have enough energy and time for me over the weekends.

My poor love, I really hope for those 2 months, it will be smooth sailing and not too much stressful for him!
