Matt's brother Paul appointed Matt to be his first son's God father, so we left Singapore on Thursday night and arrived Heathrow on Friday to attend the ceremony on Saturday.On Friday night, we went to a local place to listen to some Jazz over few pints with Matt's dad's friends. The souvenir from Singapore Chinese New Year 'Ba Kua' was popular.Then we traveled by car with Matt's parents, Matt's grand mother aka Nan, Matt and myself for about 2hours to get to the Church the next day.It was my first time to meet his extended family and his nephew.After the ceremony, we went to Paul's house for the after party, then at night we went to meet Matt's old school mates at a pub which chased us out (closed) at 11pm.We were left outside to freeze so we ran back to one of Matt's friend's parents house for some port (only alcohol left in the house).
To bit farewell for Lucas who's going back to Sydney for good, and to commemorate Australia Day, Matt and I organized a BBQ party at our place. We thought we ordered enough burgers, ribs, sausages, wings etc from the Ozzy Butcher, but it was gone like they never existed. Matt cooked his infamous Chilli again, which was also scraped out from the pan clean. There was definitely enough booze, thanks again to San Miguel the faithful sponsor.
Matt wants a Shiba-ken. He begged me with his puppy eyes. See how cute this puppy is? No wonder Mom got us "Bruno" when I was about 9. Who can resist a thing like that! Anyway, I know it's impossible to have a dog so active like Shiba-ken in our apartment now. Our apartment is just nice for 2 adults. What more, it costs S$4000! But I also know that one day, one day... we will get a Shiba-ken.
It's publicizing the obvious, and I dread the idea of being further predictable than I already am, but being such an open and sharing person that I am, I bare my most vulnerable self again, year after year, for the tinge of hope of actually making it come true... This year though, I realized, the definition of the word "Resolution" is synonyms to "Big fat promises we make on January 1". So I decided to be practical and call it, "My to-do-list for 2008"
Reduce smoking (1 packet a week in the 1st half, then 2 packets a month in the 2nd half).
Save money (hold only disposable money, and the rest in fix account).
Get a certificate (of Interpretor).
Run or swim (at least twice a week).
I know there's only 4 items but if I cleared them all, I am on the right track!
Like Matt. Actually there's No reason why I shouldn't date this incredibly thoughtful, intelligent, smart, positive, active, fun, handsome and adorable man. He cleans, he encourages me to run, he plans and books travels, he's my financial advisor, On top of it, HE COOKS. I'm eating well, thanks to his won't-take-2nd-best-ingredients-as-an-alternative principle. But most of all he doesn't leave a massive mess in the kitchen behind for me to clean coz he cleans as he goes! In less than 2 weeks, he has prepared so many dishes, the recipes which are familiar to him (Jamie Oliver type). They all tasted really good. Restaurant quality, if not better! Let me show off my perfect boyfriend's food!
Celebrated 07/08 New Years Eve slash Jason's birthday party at Senso, an Italian restaurant on Club St. We had loads of beer, wine, champagne and some cocktails, like there's no tomorrow, with a 5 course meal, if I'm not wrong. We made so much noise all through the night and literally chased other guests away by the countdown ;P It was a fun night again. And it should well be!! It was the most expensive meal I've ever had!
