October 2024 - Adulting

1 October, Tuesday | I got home safely at close to 11 am! I took a shower and went to bed, I woke up at 5ish pm to unpack some things and prepare for dinner with 宝贝❤️

 

We met at 7ish pm at the sheltered walkway outside Aljunied MRT and hugged, then we held hands and made our way to Hawker! We had two mini hotpots + 1 rice, and 6 pc nuggets meal at McDonald’s later 😂

 

(is it he finally reunited with me, today, his appetite is very good)

 

I gave him a bag of things for his parents, sister and two close friends of his! I also added his Apple Watch to the bag of things.

 

Today, I started role-playing, and called him 老公! Watching him smile so happily is one of my favourite moments💙

 

 

2 October, Wednesday | It was my first day back to work and I have 1.8K emails to clear 😐

 

(I went to give out things first, to clear the bags on my desk)

 

My boss nominated me to attend the second of the series of leadership course! This made me think of 宝贝 as we first got acquainted at L1 course!!!

 

(Then I saw him at lunch le, hehehe!)

 

I got Whampoa prawn noodles, cravings satisfied!

 

It was about 3 pm, and I finished looking through 1.8K emails and started working on those that needed my action/follow-up.

 

Then I went to speak to my boss at 5ish-6 pm to discuss the data he needs for Jaundice, then I can work on the task tomorrow!

.

.

.

I went home and came out again, to bring the Lindt chocolates I got for Lundly! Dinner at Prive is good!!


 

3 October, Thursday | It was a rather uneventful day at work heh, but Fat fat was on course today and at home, we had a good time sitting next to one another!

 

I only did chatlog HW in the afternoon because I was rushing out the data.

 

Brought things I bought for Grandma from Switzerland to her home today, and I am so happy because she is so happy 💕

 

 

4 October, Friday | Thanks to a chain of blur sotong, I am redoing Jaundice data and rushing to make sure able to complete and update bosses on Monday.

 

After work, I went for Beauty appointment. It was a much needed treatment hah

 

Then instead of getting songfa, I had QQ rice as a quick dinner so I could go home early to rest!


 

5 October, Saturday | Today is my stay-at-home and do chores day! I also want to catch up on shows etc, unpack some things.

 

宝贝 texted to let me know that he is scheduled for duty again and has to do it twice this month. It is the first time I am attending service with him tomorrow since I came back from my trip, and here we are again…

 

I am so upset with him!!!!!! For letting this happen to me again and again…

 

I felt that it is not fair that some may not have duties, and don’t know if it is wrong to 计较 with others who do not serve the church.

 

When he is doing so much, and other people do nothing??!?! I am new to the church, yet I have to sit alone. I don’t know if this place can even be my future home…

 

(I am open to change to another church)

 

I came here for him, and I am left to attend half of all the services by myself... I am so angry!!!!!!!!!


 

6 October, Sunday | I have been in a sulky mood since yesterday when I got the text, no matter how much 宝贝 explained or apologised.

 

(still mad at him!!!!)

 

When I reached, I saw him standing around the tap-out area, he held a plastic bag of bread, from Barcook Bakery. He knew I wouldn’t have eaten anything in the morning, and got me my favourite bread. The moment I took the bread, he held his hand out to hold mine and all the anger I felt, vanished!

 

我不气了

 

I sayang his head when we were walking to the escalator and we hugged on the escalator (rare), I guess that was the way we said we’re sorry (about yesterday).


Featuring shio pan:


We arrived half an hour earlier as he needed to help set up, and I saw how he did all the AVA things by himself. He even does the cleanup on his own, in an empty hall with no lights on. He looked handsome la, but my heart broke watching him. Then I decided I would go early with him and help with the clean-up, every time onwards.

 

Love is truly an amazing thing!!

.

.

.

He wanted dan lao at Maxwell so here it is:



 

7 October, Monday | I forgot to set my alarm so I woke up at 7.17 am when Fat Fat woke up for work, oops

 

Amidst starting my day off clumsy, I remembered to bring the apple pie I got from Paris Baguette for 宝贝. He took it at the stairways and bolted out of there, I could tell today is not a good work day for him, it is closing approval day ):

 

He worked late in the office and later at home too, but Edna approved already so that is one done and dusted, then comes reporting work for the next week.


 

8 October, Tuesday | It is 宝贝’s 37th birthday 💕✨

 

After work, I rushed and made my way to Field Notes to grab two cake slices before heading to Five Oars.

 

(yesterday I even called the restaurant to make sure they still sell Oven baked salmon because that is what he wants to eat hah)

 

Initially, I was upset and disappointed that he would be late due to a work crisis, am I not important to him? But then it was his day and he also didn’t want to be caught up at work…

 

We had such a good time~

 

Sorry, only showing a pic of me (that he took) heh


 And all the food pictures he took!!


The staff were exceptional and made our day really special!!!!

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

 

After having waffles, we couldn’t eat any more desserts le hah. He wanted to bring home the cakes I bought but honestly, I know he just wants me to be happy and suggested to take it home.

 

It is alright, my family will be happier if I bring them back home hah

I couldn’t take a photo in time, my dad had already eaten two huge mouths of the Lychee Rose Strawberry cake.

 

The other is a Tie Guan Yin Cheesecake.


(His parents got him a slice of cake too, hehe)

.

.

.

I changed my phone wallpaper because he looks so happy in this photo, and we also talked about posting about our special day together on Instagram!!

 

 

9 October, Wednesday | My only motivation for the day is doing cash duties with J and meeting YT for dinner tonight!!!!!

 

I ate prawn mee today for lunch!!

宝贝 still came by with his hot soup to say hi, aiya he so cute!!!


SBCD Tofu is good (but also expensive)

 

Then we went to grab drinks at Kenangan Coffee for another chatting round!

 

After a long day working late, 宝贝 asked for a short call together before we went to bed and I am so so so happy!!!!!!!

 

It was five minutes of gentleness and love 💕


 

10 October, Thursday | I saw our HOD (last time my RO) send an email to ask about bill calculators on our website due to some articles posted online. I explained the workflow and suggested doing an analysis for OBS bills if we could squeeze it in!

 

(it was the only major thing I have on hand la hahaha)

 

I had a lot of issues pulling the data to work on.

 

I also updated XY about me and 宝贝! She will eventually find out anyway so might as well, she hears that from me.

 

Thankfully, it was a WFH day, so I could take a nap in between work. I've been feeling so tired these days, and my lower back hurts.

.

.

.

Fat fat and I bought King of Fried Rice for dinner at Grandma’s.


After that, I posted our picture on Instagram, hehe!!

 

 

11 October, Friday | Following my ig post, I received comments and also messages from friends, saying that they are happy for me!!! I am truly blessed~

 

Most of my time at work today, I was working on the analysis for OBS bills

(think this will take more time than I expected)


I went out for lunch with J and K today, I asked 宝贝 to join us! I was trying so hard not to touch him during lunch and also noticed he seemed distracted (about work). Really is stress dao my 宝贝 le ):


We agreed to talk on the phone tonight as we did not have much time to catch up on our day, today.

.

.

.

My Little Spanish Place

Good times with alcoholic grace!!

.

.

.

We talked on the phone for more than an hour 😊

(say short call, end up chatting for so long, about everything and also about nothing heh)


 

13 October, Sunday | Today’s service is combined with Chinese Congregation as there is an appointment of deacons. It started at 10 am, and I was up early. During the break time, some random granny/auntie saw 宝贝and I sitting together and asked if I was his girlfriend, and he said yes.

 

Then she was so happy for us, and congratulated him that he met someone, who is also pretty (I am flattered)

 

After service, we went to walk around and stumbled upon a shop that sells sheng jian bao! I am happy just watching him eat~

 

 

14 October, Monday | K started asking about GYN AR again and I was not pleased, felt like I had explained this so many times but somehow, she never understood. They have a narrative they want me to corroborate with my data work…

 

 

15 October, Tuesday | We started the day with the Team Building amazing race with the Division and my team came in first! It was not bad, quite fun!

 

Then we spent the rest of the day struggling to catch up with our work ):


 

16 October, Wednesday | Lately, I felt rather lonely in terms of growth and development at work and then I have to deal with unreasonable demands…

 

I was super angry today and felt like what my boss wants me to do, has no morals and the principle is wrong.

 

After my facial appointment, I sent K (now my current RO) a long text in response to her question about how I am.

 

It goes against the principle to do what my boss requested earlier, with no justification as the amounts are based on historical data.

 

I also told her I felt that my role in FC feels slightly redundant as my findings are not deemed to be important… And I will ultimately be requested to modify the data if the findings do not suit the higher-ups’ preference and that my work has no value to this organization at all.


 

17 October, Thursday | So glad I can WFH today and don’t have to deal with the ridiculous crap from the day before. eFC design meetings have started again and our calendars are blocked until the end of May 2024.

 

I also didn’t have much time to work on chatlog review…


 

18 October, Friday | Work aside, we are all very excited about the division’s Annual Bowling Nite!!!

 

Wah I saw how well my 宝贝 played and really 帅到 😍

(his team won, obviously)

 

I found an opportunity to speak to CFO, and told her about 宝贝 and I, and she was so so so happy for us, she hugged me!!!!

 

After the event, we left the venue together with his work best friend and J, then we started holding hands on our way to City Square Mall. Apparently, some colleagues saw us (oops)

 

We went for supper at McDonald’s, we redeemed his birthday 20 pc nuggets!!!

(I v bao)


 

19 October, Saturday | 宝贝 needed to go to work for LR, and I met him after that for lunch at Boon Keng Hawker! I went to buy Chateraise cream puffs that Grandma likes before meeting him at Boon Keng!

 

It was a brief visit to Grandma’s!

 

Then after lunch, we went to Dignity Kitchen for drinks, and it started pouring heavily, and we held hands all the way back.

.

.

.

I went home, showered and rest before getting ready for dinner with YS!


 We went Maccha House ✌🏻✌🏻


Second rounds at DDDK!


 

20 October, Sunday | Today was my first time attending Zoom service, it was not bad! Most importantly, I got to sleep in heh (then I missed 宝贝 a lot)

 

 

21 October, Monday | I felt like I looked like a store promoter la, wearing EN tee and black jeans (I have no office pants or skirt to wear)



I was called in to help manage EN booth for Staff Wellness Fiesta from 12-3 pm, so I left office with my boss at 10.45 am to walk over.

 

Taking photos at events became my new role!

(besides form building)

 

Upon hearing that I had not eaten lunch or had any lunch prepared, 宝贝came by with his colleagues to support the event and also passed me a Polar Swiss roll!!!

 

(he is the sweetest)

 

I played Pickle Ball for abit, it was fun!!!!!!


 

22 October, Tuesday | Upon hearing that I forgot to bring my packed breakfast to work, 宝贝 met me to pass me Meiji biscuits, woohoo! He also asked if I would want to have lunch together and a few hours later, we went to Park Lane for lunch!!!!!


 

23 October, Wednesday | We tried a new stall for dinner this evening, ban mee! It was not good :/

 

We fed a stray cat near grandma’s, with the Chinese cat snack in my bag (finally!!)

We also saw a baby, dog and of course Grandma, so all the cute ones today HEHEHE


 

24 October, Thursday | After a WFH day, I left the house with Mom to Centrepoint for cooking class!!!!! (bili went too)

 

+ 3 known colleagues

 

YT and Fame came to support!!


Cooking pics:


宝贝 waited for me to end class (around 9 pm), he ate all the MHK I made even though they were undercooked ❤️


 

25 October, Friday | I went lunch with Adeline, been so long not seeing this girl!!!

.

.

.

On my way, I saw this car:

cute


After work, Fat fat and I went for lash lift before having our monthly Merci Marcel dinner~

.

.

.

宝贝and I have been calling more regularly now, maybe it is his way of spending more time with me, and I am so used to hearing his voice over the phone.

 

During the call with him today, I heard his experience today and 小流泪 😭

 

 

26 October, Saturday | As he had a bad day yesterday at work, I decided to start using the new phone strap he got me!!!! Hope that will cheer him up a little (:


I met 宝贝 at Sembawang MRT and he was with his 阿姨 and her husband, they wanted to wait here and kaypoh how I looked. Oops today I am wearing crop top and shorts, may not be the best first impression hah

 

Then we made our way over for CG activities, I brought Hazelnut Lindt chocolate balls and Lindt Choco Wafers over, and we had snacks while going through the Alpha Course on Holy Spirit.

 

We took the train to Orchard as I wanted to eat at Maccha House, plus buy some stuff from Watsons! On the train ride there, he talked about housing application and felt that there should be at least a mini proposal with me first before he asked my parents for permission (apply house).

 

I think no need to, most people I know, apply for a house first then the proposal will come later when it is the right time, or the house is about to be completed.

 

He is really very cute la!!!!!

 

Then as we were looking through the menu, I saw Natalie walking in with her mother! We had a brief chat and she said hello to my boyfriend, hehe

 

(not including his mains)

 

Then at night, I started going to the toilet ):


 

27 October, Sunday | I woke up at 8.30 am and still felt like there was a lot of gas and rumbling noises in my stomach, so I decided not to go for Sunday service today. Mom cooked porridge for me:

Xiao xiao mi?

 

Then the rest of the day, I watched shows and packed my luggage for the upcoming trip to Korea!


 

28 October, Monday | I was out of the office the whole day to attend an interview session with selected vendors at Pixel then in the afternoon, attended HIIP talk at Raffles City!


.

.

.

Dinner with YT!!!

Love our black and white clothes and bags outfit today!!!!!

 

 

29 October, Tuesday | Happy Birthday, Papa!!!!


 

30 October, Wednesday | Today is my last day of work before Korea trip, and I am just happily preparing to be on leave ✌🏻

.

.

.

After work, we went to Pasir Ris for BBQ with 舅舅 + family, it was so hilarious!!!


 

 

31 October, Thursday | Treasure Toast with 宝贝

(recommended by Suz!!)

 

Then we went to walk around Bras Plaza Complex and I got my new card holder for my work pass from Popular. We had fun just browsing around at items such as computer desk, pens and stuff.


I finally understood, that doing the most simple things together, is what love is!
