Growing old together... someday

Dear Diary,

I was lying flat on my bed yesterday night while contemplating on how it would feel like growing old with him. Perhaps it was out of boredom. Questions after questions continue to linger inside my head. Will we be laughing at the same jokes 50 years from now? Would we still look into each others' glimmering eyes that say 'I will always love you and you only'? Will we be holding hands while walking in the park just as it is being portrait in love movies? These questions were left unanswered after a long night. Life is filled with uncertainties. The only way to find out is to wait for the time to come.

Couldn't wait to see the fine lines that would grow on his face with strands of white hair highlighting his head (if and only if there is any hair left). I'd love to watch his expression when he becomes the proud father of my children. There is so much more to be explored and discovered as we journeyed through life together.

Surely that day will come.... Someday...

Love Jo. 

The Dawn of a New Beginning

Dear Diary,

It is the start of another new year. And here I am... blogging away. I am starting to feel time is dripping away like water from an unclosed tap. Age is catching up on me but there is so much more I have yet to accomplish in life. Isn't there anything else I could do in this new year? So I decided to write my new year's resolution...

1. Spending precious time with love ones and friends

2. Replenishing my empty pocket with more cash

3. Focusing on the development of my studies... No more excuses for this

4. Enjoying the sun from different places

5. Eating healthier food which means less junks and instant noodles for me

It's definitely not easy to achieve these resolutions especially the last one... How will I ever live without them??? *giggle*

A Christmas Like No Other...

Dear Diary,

The night before christmas, I stayed in with my love one. I anticipated for the clock to strike 12 midnight. The surprise he has kept away from me is waiting to be unveiled. I knew about the 'secret box' in the fridge but I pretended not to know. He was fidgeting around the room as I silently played my games on his computer. I almost broke into a smile, seeing him bahaved in an unnatural manner. About 10 minutes before christmas, he left the room. Sure enough as the digital clock on the computer showed 00:00 am , he came in with the cake. He switched off the lights and sang me a song. I couldn't help myself but laugh in joy. Although I had imagined how everything would be, I was still very happy and contented. The surprise did not end there.... There was a box nicely wrapped in green and it was meant for me. Inside was an apple green mp3. I almost broke into tears. I have always believe the gift of music is one of the best gifts of all. Now I can listen to all the songs I loved while walking, jogging, traveling, bathing... hmm... maybe not bathing. This is definitely more than what I had wished for.

     On the 25th, we decided to go to the night safari in singapore. There were many fun-filled activities with the animals. Crocodiles, flying squirrels, bats, tigers, porcupines, wild boars and many other noctornal animals; all could be seen in the safari. No flashes were allowed during photo taking hence the photos taken were very blur, yet, we were busy snapping away during the whole journey. Who would have thought spending christmas in a night safari with family members would be a brilliant idea for family bonding... 

Love Jo.

Wish I may, Wish I might....

Dear Diary,

My housemates and I were out hunting for shooting stars one night. It was around 1 in the morning and outside was pitch dark. Millions of tiny brightly lit stars scattered over the vast endless galaxy. We were watching out for meteor showers that were predicted to be actively pouring around that hour of the night. Many a times have we attempted to stay out and watch the stars but failed to do so due to the unforgiving weather conditions. But not on that night. That night was the night; the night where there was not a single cloud in sight. We waited patiently as we lay down on the car porch. We daren't blink our eyes even for a second since we were afraid we might miss the stars if we did.  Time passed and there were still no shooting stars in sight. We waited and waited. My eyes were getting tired and all the stars seems to be vibrating in their positions. Must be my imagination going wild. Could this be just another night? I wondered. Then.... out of nowhere... *woosh* a real shooting star. We all yelled out in excitement. And there was another and another. As soon as they came, they disappeared. There were countless of them. The satisfaction came after the long wait. Lucky for me as I managed to make a wish on one of those stars. I wish and I wish...................

Love Jo.

Christmas in Genting

Dear Diary,

Christmas is near. Beautiful ornaments are greeting me from each corners of supermarkets, hotels, restarurants and even on the streets. Lovely christmas songs kept ringing in my head as I hum along to them. They constantly reminded me of the BIG day which is around the corner. I anxiously anticipate for that very day to come.

       Last weekend, I was in Genting with him and my family. There were many other vacationers who crowded the place as well. We snap pictures at every opportunity we had.

DAY 1

Dinner in K-Box
We sang our lungs out during the two hours of fun. My mom was too tired somewhere in between that she slept on the sofas. Guess our voices were too 'soothing' and sounded very much like a lullaby to her. *giggle*

Dazzle in Genting International Showroom
This is the first time we landed ourselves with four free tickets to the exclusive showcase of 'Dazzle'. The whole sixty-minutes of performance was fun and fantastic. The showcase features:-

Magic show - Mr Ernesto Planas from Cuba
Hand shadow show - Mr. Sonny Fontana
Quick change illusion act - Duo Presto
Statue of Jerome Murat - Jerome Murat from France
and plenty of dance performances which completed the whole performances and left us in awe.

DAY 2

Breakfast at New Orleans Barbeque Restaurant
There were 3 selections of set menus to choose from; pork chop, chicken chop or beef chop + cream of chicken soup + salad. The view overlooking Genting together with the ambience was mesmerizing. This was also free.

40 minutes in SnowWorld
Brrr.... it was chilling in there. Even the insides of the snow boots were cold. We had a few slides down the hill on a rubber float, ate strawberry flavoured ice-creams and almost licked the ice to see if it's real. There were some lil cute penguins running around in circles; o wait those were lil children wearing overly large jackets. The snowdrops gently fell on my face as we were snow-fighting. I finally got my white christmas afterall...
