A Gift from You :D
A locket from you stays near my heart, so you'll be close to me even though we're far apart <3
I Love You
Yay, the parcel Andrew sent me has finally arrived! I was so excited when I saw the card from the post office asking me to collect the parcel, laying on top of the drawers. So, I finished my lunch really quickly today and asked my Dad to send me to the post office.
Having arrived at the post office, I signed my name and gave the staff my card and he proceeded to collecting my parcel from where they keep all the other parcels. *waited excitedly* And then came the man with a parcel in his arms, it was a large bulky envelope with my name on it in Andrew's handwriting.
I had to bring my parcel to the custom's table and then carefully opened my parcel. Inside was a Limited Edition Audrey Hepburn calendar, a H.Samuel paper bag and... a H.Samuel gift box! I was hesitant in opening the box because I promised Andrew that I'll open it when we're on Skype so that he'll be able to see my reaction when I open it. I almost cried right there and then when I opened the box. There it was on the white cushion of the inside the box, a heart-shaped locket... with our pictures in it! :D
I couldn't wait to get home and go online so that I can thank him and tell him how much I love him and miss him!
Thank you very much for the gift Hubby. It means a lot to me since it symbolises our 3 years together and also because it's a gift from you for my birthday :D Muackz!
I love you very much Hubby! And I miss you very much too!

Just for You
Andrew, this is for you...
Cos you are the brightest star,
I'm in love with who you are,
And you are the brightest star,
I'm lost without your love.
You and me is what matters most,
It's not the intimacy that brings me
Closer to you...
* 'White Lines and Red Lights' by Between the Trees *

Distance Makes the Heart Grows Fonder
Distance Makes the Heart Grows Fonder... It really does.
The person who thought of this, these words, must have really liked and/or loved the person from whom he or she was apart from. And I can understand how the person must've felt at the time because I feel the same way now.
Being so far away from Andrew has really been difficult for me. It has now been about five months since we were last together and I miss him very much! And I hope he feels the same way for me too.
Even when we were both still studying and living in Bangor, it was tough for me whenever he or I had been away for just a day. But knowing that we will see each other again soon made it alright for me. But in this case, since he's still studying in the UK while I'm here in Brunei, we don't know when we'll get to be together again. Although I really hope that it'll just be a few more months from now since he'll be back in Singapore for his summer break; either I take a flight out to visit him in Singapore, or better yet, he'll come over to visit me in Brunei. Can't wait!
Loving you and missing you lots, hubby! :D

Updates on Car Trouble
My dad told me that the cost of fixing the car was over BND$200! I didn't know that it'll be that expensive to fix the car just cos there was something wrong with the horn... Tsk tsk tsk... Okay, perhaps there were other underlying problems with the car. But still!
F.Y.I, this was not the first time that my Dad had to send the Proton Gen-2 to the workshop. My dad told me that, for the past few years, he had to send the car to the workshop at least once a month because something had gone wrong with it. Apparently, it is VERY COMMON for customers to FREQUENTLY bring in their Proton cars for servicing and repair - at least that's what the people from the workshop told my dad.
So a warning to you all, if you wanna buy a Proton car, buy it at your own risk. The cost of purchasing a Proton may be cheap but I personally do not think it's worth it. I may as well have purchased a slightly more expensive car for its durability and reliability.

Embarrassing Car Trouble
I got into work late today. No, it's not cos I got up late. It's because my mom and I had to go to my dad's workplace to switch cars. Why, you may ask?
Cos Proton Gen-2 sucks! Yes, it DOES. My mom was going to drive me to work this morning. The car was fine when she started the engine. However, once my mom drove the car out of the driveway, the car's horn started going off. At first it was just a short burst of honking but the further we drove, the more the car honked. And louder too. It was so embarrassing! This was especially so when we drove by other cars and the drivers just stared at us. Some cars even slowed down and tried to stop by the road side to let our car pass through.
Luckily, my dad's workplace is just a short distance from where we live. So when we arrived, we passed through security. Just as we were doing so, we passed by another car and our horn started honking really loudly. Hearing this, the man driving beside us rolled his window down with this "look" on his face. My mom was quick to roll down the window and explained to the man and the security officers that something was wrong with the car's horn and so he left (without "the look" this time).
As we parked the car at the parking area of my dad's workplace, the car's horn went crazy again. My mom had to switch off the car's engine, forgetting to roll the window back up. So she had to switch the engine back on in order for her to do so. No surprise, the window won't budge! By this time the car gave another honk and more security officers came towards us. And so my mom had to explain yet again that something was wrong with the horn.
My dad arrived at the parking area and tried to check out what was wrong with the car, with the help of one or two of the security officers who were there. My mom and I then drove away so that I could get to work, leaving the lousy car behind for my dad.
And so, I was late for work...

Lasers and Injections
I just got back from the hospital and am now at work again. I've just had my third appointment today at 2pm for laser treatment and steroid injection for the keloids on my right ear and left arm.
To those of you who don't know, I've had a huge keloid on my left arm since I was 9 years old as a result of the (MMR?) injection that I received while still in primary school. This is the reason why you'll hardly catch me wearing sleeveless tops. And in 2007, another keloid developed on the top part of my right ear, which grew from pimple-sized to about half the length and width of my pinkie.
When I first made and attended my appointment at RIPAS Hospital about two months ago, I was rather excited. I was excited because after years of having the ugly keloids on my arm and ear, I can finally have them reduced in size in hope that they'll soon disappear or at least fade to a lighter shade. However, I didn't know what I'd put myself into. I was shocked at the amount of pain that I was put into by the treatments I received.
Did you know that laser treatment can actually be very painful? Okay, maybe it was bearable. BUT I had to have MULTIPLE INJECTIONS on my ear after that which made the pain so much worse. And to think that I have a rather high threshold for pain. It's not like having multiple piercings, NO... Nothing close to it.
Initially, the first few "shots" of laser onto my right ear felt alright albeit a little cold. And I thought, "Okay, I don't mind doing this for however long it'll take to shrink my keloids." However, after a few more shots, I started to feel some pain. And when it went on, it became less bearable but still alright. THEN, the jabs came. That's when I felt like "Shyte, I don't think I can continue with this," but still allowed the jabs to keep going. Just so you know, the reason why the treatments hurt so badly is because the keloids (especially the one on my ear) is like really solid. And to quote what the doctor said to the nurse today, "It's like injecting into a solid robot!"
To be honest, I really didn't expect to go through this much pain. I've had steroid injections for my ear before, when I was still in the UK. Each time I went, I felt alright except for feeling a little flushed after but NEVER much pain. Seriously. Which is why I was quite surprised when the jabs hurt and bled so much when I got them here.
And I'm not exaggerating on the amount of pain I went through. The doctors told me that steroid injections ARE meant to be PAINFUL! My previous doctor even told me that some people actually cried from the jabs. I just thank God that the procedure lasts for only a short while while the pain would cease in a few hours or a day at most. At least in my case it does. I've got to say, a Brazilian wax didn't even hurt as much as the injections did!
In spite of my complaints, I'll still continue to visit the doctors to receive the treatments. What can I say except a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do to (try to) look good.

Random Thoughts
Current ideas for my dream home would include double French doors, bay windows and a large balcony.
Hello Blog, I'm Back
Hello blog,
It has now been more than a year since I last posted. Nevertheless, all's well. I'm now a graduate and am currently working at my uncle's company until the government calls me in for a job with them. I'm really excited and nervous at the same time. Hopefully, I'll get to do the job that I want *fingers crossed*
Meanwhile, all's looking good on the relationship front as well. Andrew and I have just celebrated our 3rd year anniversary! :D I have to admit that I was quite disappointed though as I thought that I'd be able to spend that day with him in the UK. I can't wait to get back when the opportunity comes cos most of the people close to me are still miles away, studying. You know who you are and I miss you all very much!!
Speaking of which, apparently Andrew sent me something via snail mail for our anniversary which was posted around 22nd November. I have yet to receive this. I hope it hasn't gotten lost in transit like my certificate and transcript did when my university tried sending them to me though. I hope that the reason for my not receiving it yet is merely cos of some delay and that it'll get to me soon...
And speaking of mail, what's up with the customs check / officers in Brunei?? I didn't know that they can be such (insert your choice of negative noun here)! My shipment of belongings arrived in October and I was really excited when I saw all the boxes when I got home one evening. But to my horror and disappointment, as I was going through my things, I found my Marc Jacobs Daisy perfume box opened!! How do I know this? It's because I personally sealed each and everyone of my belongings before posting them.
Okay, maybe it isn't that big of a deal to some people since I've already finished my bottle of perfume. The thing is that they took my Marc Jacobs lotions (which were still unused!) that came with the perfume box set along with my other branded perfume bottles albeit most of them were empty!! I was so so so mad! I mean, the nerve?!! Moreover, the Marc Jacobs perfume set was a gift from Andrew for my birthday!!! Thank God I still get to keep my empty Marc Jacobs perfume bottle cos otherwise... Grrrr...!
Yes, I'm petty. I know that and am not afraid to admit it.
