Spidey & beetle sampling at Ubin

Life-post FB (FYI i deactivated my FB account!): i have no where to share my photos in excitement but here! :p First trip to Ubin with the boy as his PFA (personal field assistant) was not so fruitful, but at least we got some stuff and manage to get some exercise! :p
The boy on his way to Ubin:
Pretty cicada (i thought it was a moth!):
Isn't he a cutie! Looks like he's got a face mask on ;)

What a shiny crisp red shell! I've always liked lady beetles as a kid, but always thought they all had black spots!

Can you spot the spider? ;)

Oh furry one~

Clutch of spider eggs! They're a pretty green just like their mum!
Can you guess what this is?? It's a scale bug! Apparently the bug excretes excess sugars to form those spikes. So cool huh!
And a teeny tiny spider with its really pretty stabilimentum :)

Feels like a tiny celebrity :p

Whee just found out from my friend (who's also planning her wedding) that our photo's on Tinydot Photography's album on FB (among a million others). Spot us! ;)
And here is the real pic!

I chope you!!

A sneak peek into our wedding :) Complimentary photo we got from a wedding exhibition :)

Note to self (one of many to come i believe)

Life is never peaceful with mum. We just don't get along anymore. She's been back for less than 3 weeks and I'm thinking of staying overnight in lab tonight just to avoid her :((( We've probably had one civil lunch together, because i simply avoid beng around her for long periods. Just when I thought Diego and I should give her a nice lunch treat this weekend, she reminds me of how much I want to move out. P.R.O.N.T.O. It is beyond me how she can just sit at home the whole day watching tv or reading newspapers, especially when she wants (not so badly it seems since she is not working for it at all??) to get citizenship here. And my bro? He wants me to stay on another year or so after I graduate just to help her get her citizenship. Provided I haven't ended up in the IMH or we haven't physically killed each other, yes I can.

This is me trying to write my paper while she is blasting the tv behind meShe keeps a tv in her bedroom for decoration by the way. Her highness can only watch tv on the big screen out in the living room, even if the loud volume disturbs other people.

A step towards my new future.

No fancy candle-lit dinner,
No big flashy declaration of love,
Just a simple, honest affair.
A proposal that is a reflection of who we are,

A marriage-skeptic is what i have been most of my life, since my parents had a bad breakup. One of my mum's first reactions was to taunt me about breaking my marriage-skepticism for this. It surprises me though, that the all-knowing woman thinks this. Does she not realize that i may say that i don't believe in marriage, often in defiance? Sometimes, as a retort towards her for having said hurtful things to me? And although there is still some fear and doubt towards men, i have found someone who makes me want to take that risk. I certainly do not want to be like my mother, who shuns doing things just because she is afraid of failure or rejection.. I guess I will live my life as it comes, and try to accept everything as a learning experience. So please mum, can i have your blessings and not just snide remarks?

What to do now? Most people i know feel that this is too soon - we have been dating for just 9 months and 8 days. But thing is, we meet up almost everyday of the week, which is alot more frequent than many other couples! And his sincerity and honesty is something that cannot be missed. One of the sad things is, i don't know why i feel the need to explain myself to everyone else. If only people did not judge! And how can i reject the sweetest guy on Earth? ;p

Bless us!!

Worried sick. Literally.

It's been almost one and a half days since he was scheduled to have arrived in Poland, but still haven't heard a whisper from you :( Everyone's telling me that I'm being paranoid-what could possible happen to you? Well a million and one possible thoughts racing through my mind :( Why don't you call, or drop me an email?? I know in my heart that you'd always try your best to keep me happy, and certainly wouldn't want me to worry.. so why..? :( Which is what makes me worry even more.. Come back safely please, there are still many things that i need to tell you..

Sorry guys for ranting about this here.. but i guess there isn't anyone else who would really listen to me, and I'd just be dismissed as being silly!

Those three words

"..When you say you love me
The world goes still, so still inside and
When you say you love me
In that moment, I know why I'm alive.."
- When you say you love me by Josh Groban

Why do I not have the courage to say those words to you yet? When I'm missing you so much when you've only been away for one day?

But seriously dear,
"When you say you love me.
When you say you love me.
Do you know how I love you?"
