Random Appreciations...

~"Aiyah do until so "pek chek" why don't you just stop doing it?! After all, so "pek chek only made you complain complain and complain?! So just stop doing it and stop complaining!!"~ That was what my best friend told me! Honestly, most friends normally listened and agreed with me at a certain point of view, but this babe totally "washed" me upside down by telling me how emo I should not have gotten myself into such an unhealthy stage; and believe me, her words really helped. I supposed no other person dared or did talk to me in such a way; and honestly nobody advised that to me but thanks to you, I really felt much better, with those burdens gone!!

The Seven (7) ways to tell whether a man really loves you...

I was checking my mail awhile ago when I found this interesting topic which I would like to share:

The 7 Ways to Tell Whether A Man Really Loves You...

1. He is affectionate, and not just sexually

"Men in love can never get enough contact from the woman they love," explains Lance McKeithan, author of Understanding Men. They'll want to hold your hand, cuddle, hug and kiss -- these are basically the actions of a man in love. Don't confuse sexual touching with these displays of affection, though. "If he can't keep his hands off you but every time he touches you it turns into sex, this may not be love but lust," adds McKeithan.
 

2. His actions are consistent with his words

Some men are so good at whispering sweet nothings, they can make you feel on cloud nine with honeyed words alone. But "don't be fooled by his words, especially if they are contrary to his actions," cautions McKeithan. Look to his actions for the real answer. For instance, when you're down with a nasty cold, a sweet-talker will say things like "I'd trade places with you if I could, sweetheart" but then still proceed to meet with his buddies at the pub anyway. A man who truly loves you, on the other hand, thinks of your welfare every time, and acts in a thoughtful, affectionate, and selfless manner. He will cancel his night out to take care of you -- even if it means missing the Liverpool match.

3. He plans future for the two of you

A man who genuinely loves you will want to share his future with you. Period. "Just remember this. Every man you have every dated who has said he doesn't want to get married or doesn't believe in marriage, or has 'issues' with marriage, will, rest assured, someday be married. It just will never be with you," says Greg Behrendt, co-author of He's Just Not That Into You. If he's hesitant or gives excuses whenever you bring up the topic of marriage, he doesn't love you enough to want to settle down with you. Move on as quickly as you can.

4. He loves to make you happy

A man in love makes you feel loved. He won't compare you with his ex. He won't openly flirt with other women to make you jealous. He's great to be around and he loves to make you smile. Men in love don't have excuses for why they can't find ways -- they don't need to be nagged to do this or bribed to do that. "If you're with a man who puts up a fight when it comes to doing something that will bring a smile to your face, he's probably with you only for sex," explains McKeithan.

5. He loves spending time with you

You can easily spot a man in love through his attitude. "If he loves you, he wants to spend time with you, and everything you do together is a pleasure, not a chore," says McKeithan. You can be watching DVD re-runs for the tenth time on weekends, running errands together, or some other less-than-fun activities, but he still enjoys your company.

6. He is not easily annoyed by you

"Even when you break his favorite mug he is more concerned with your well being than a few shards of porcelain," reveals McKeithan. That's not to say that he's a pushover, but he is certainly not a man who is easily annoyed, angered, or agitated by the things/mistakes/accidents you do.

7. He is emotionally available

A man in love should be able to love you freely, meaning he must not be already married or engaged to another women or otherwise emotionally unavailable.

"No matter how powerful and real your feelings may be for someone, if that person cannot full and honestly return them and therefore actively love you back, these feelings mean nothing," says Behrendt. What you're getting from him is scraps and it doesn't bother him that he's short-changing you. Do you call that real love? Not to mention that he's okay with cheating. He may be in it for the sex or the thrill -- but certainly not for love.

After reading this topic; apart from the sexuality and affections,  

I felt blessed,

"That Man"

Random Lame-ness

Downloaded Joyeye Lite (3rd party free application for photo editing) for my nokia E71 the other day and I decided to try it out on dearie.. =P

Lolz!

Dearie become so symmetrical!

ROFL

I kinda liked this sketch effect I caught while dearie was snoozing despite the ugly symmetrical thingy...

Last Lovely Weekend? - Outback Restaurant

Dearie is finally working on a weekend, after warning came from him two months ago, and I was bored and lonely while waiting for his return... =(

***********

Since Labour Day was the 1st of May and that also marked the arrival of his shift duty the next following day, we decided to meet up on Friday's night to chill out a bit before lonely weekend blues arrived... I was really guilty because I turned up late and that dearie was waiting for me more than 2 hours..

It was really uneventful for dearie (despite on my part, I caught 2 prizes while toy-catching) as he has lost his atm card while we were @Suntec. Honestly till now, we were still pondering whether the card had been confiscated by the atm machine or either it had been picked up by a greedy fellow (~curses!! _*&^%$#@)

Two tired lovebirds sitting outside Suntec Carrefour around 9pm (without dinner) while one was busy on the phone waiting for the operator to answer the call while the other was almost dozing off waiting for her partner to finish terminating the "lost" card. Honestly, after dearie had lost his card, I seriously wondered are those creditcards/banks hotlines useful? All they did before you can actually terminate the fucking lost card was to ask you to go on hold while they transfer you from the fucking voice machine!  =.=

*************

Anyway, back to where I had begun from... We had limited cash resources and I really wanted to give dearie a little special dinner to cheer him up; (i was kind of guilty why I had been so careless like him and I did not even remind him to collect his card) so I decided to bring dearie to Millenia Walk to dine....

AUSTRALIAN OUTBACK RESTAURANT

That was the restaurant which we passed by the other time when we went to Suntec and dearie mentioned that he had never tried that restaurant before... Based on cosy australian theme, Outback served generous portions of western food; be it chicken, fish or steak!

Outback dishes have unique names, and apparently, me and dearie decided to have the same dish... We ordered two sets of "Chicken on The Barbie" for our main. All the other dishes on the menu also sounded really tasty!!

"Chicken on The Barbie"

~ Fresh boneless chicken breast seasoned and grilled.

Served with barbeque sauce on the side and steamed veggies...~

Apart from the main course, we also ordered "Aussie cheese fries"!!

And free-flow (termed bottomless) coke and grap soda to go along with our food..

"Aussie Cheese Fries"

~Aussie chips top with montery jack, cheddar cheeses and bacon;

Served with spicy ranch dressing~

While waiting for our orders to arrive, a loaf of bread and magarine was served.. (looks chocolate but not chocolate though)

Dearie was busy spreading butter and serving me my share the whole time! =P

Our cheese fries was served despite they took quite a hell long of a time

 (forgiven since the restaurant was super packed)

 finally our Main Dish!

********

I am glad that dearie was contented with the food and service of the restaurant and kind of cheered up while we were on our way back home.. Since he wanted to get a replacement atm card issued, I promised to bring him to Jurong Point the next day as it was previously mentioned by qiu that the banks there closed later than the usual. But it came as unexpected, we saw the gloomy gates locking us away from the bank when we arrived the next day...

(WE HAD TOTALLY FORGOTTEN THAT IT WAS LABOR'S DAY PUBLIC HOLIDAY)!

To compensate our empty stomachs, we sought around the mall for food before we headed down to Suntec (again.).. I actually suggested Crystal Jade Restaurant but dearie was captivated by Benten Cafe (which was located just in front along the path before reaching Crystal Jade).

A creamy salmon mushroom pasta (cooked the japanese way) for me; while dearie chose sumptous yakiniku curry rice... Unlike the horrible curry rice @Suki Sushi Cineleisure, Benten's curry rice was really different! Despite not being the tastiest curry rice which I've had eaten before, I kinda fancied the unique bowls which they placed the food in it when served...

*Creamy Salmon Mushroom Pasta (in Japanese Style)*

*Yakiniku Curry Rice*

To complement our empty stomachs, we ordered potato croquette and healthy orange-carrot fruit juices to go along too!

*Potato Croquette*

*Dearie trying out his Sony Ericsson Smile Detection Mode..

Took MRT to City Hall to get to Suntec City to shop, and get my hello kitty stickers to re-bling my camera. Kinda disappointed because the charmy stickers which we saw earlier last month was no longer available and we were left with the hello kitty ones..

Dearie brought me to Cottage Waffles in the late evening...

 Woo, they made lovely crispy waffles! =)

There also catered laksa (a stall beside Cottage Waffles). I was eyeing the whole time till dearie said "Just order if you feel like having some."

Well, nothing special happened on Sunday as dearie was working.. =(

dispite we had some lovely "Kong-Bar-Baos" which dearie's ah ma had bought. (Fatty Pork Buns)! xD

Anyway, I pray that dearie's devilish schedule and my hell-like work will come to an end soon.

Dinner @Sushi Tei

Every outing with dearie was a pleasant one but sadly to say, May is finally here and from the 1st May onwards, dearie will be on shift duty instead of the usual weekend off-days and I am very sure that I will miss him even more, and sadly to say that I will also have less stuff to blog/talk about, since we might have very little time with each other, but nevertheless, I am sure that our faith would be there...

Had a very awesome dinner at Sushi Tei @Raffles City the other evening for dinner.. As usual dearie was very nice because despite he has allergies for seafood, I am always given the green light to go ahead and order anything which I craved...

Apparently, we are kinda hungry and were drooling away when we saw the yakiniku ramen on the menu... Slrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrppppp! In order to allow our stomachs left for other goodies, we only ordered a bowl.

Besides ramen, it so happened to be "oysters in season"... Actually there are quite a few kind of "shell" type up on the menu due to the "in-season", nevertheless I was the only one to consume these, therefore I decided to minimise the wastage amd only ordered the raw oyster sushi. We also ordered salmon sushi with mentaiko baked in cheese poured on top of the salmon sushi...

Well, since we are disappointed a hell of times whereby we went to Suki Sushi @Cineleisure, hmm... i supposed all the regular customers will know that their curry rice sucked and the fried salmon skin is forever out of stock (=.=") I wondered why they just don't wanna take that goddamned dish outta the menu since anyday you popped by and ordered the same dish, the waitress will tell you "sorry outta stock" but you still can see the salmon skin sushi rotating around the belt!!

Thus, to calm our anger, we ordered the infamous SushiTei's salmon skin sushi!!!!

Wheee...

Seriously, it was the BEST salmon skin sushi I have ever tasted in Singapore! Mmmm... look how crispy the salmon skin was fried to! ^^

Apart from these dishes, we also ordered meat gyouza, ebiko sushi etc etc...

And the very favourite which we ordered was...

My Favourite Grilled Scallops covered with Mentaiko Cheese...

Mmmm.. Cheesy!

We had such a feast that we were too engrossed in munching that we totally forgotten to take any photographs for our deserts and other sushi which we added onto our menu...

Our feast was settled superbly with a glass of orange juice and a can of coke..

Kanpai!
