The Comeback

It seems like I am too attached to this blog to let it go. I just can't seem to get any feelings when I am blogging using LiveJournal. Therefore, I am proud to announce that this blog is up and running again!

It had been a gruesome month for me. Very eventful especially at work. The most notable event would be getting told to extend my internship for the number of days of leave I took. 11 days of leave in total means that I need to work till 12 Feb, and working on both Saturdays. Not something I'd want to do as I could have ended my internship now. If the measure was explained explicitly to us, I guess I wouldn't have taken so many leave at all. It's a torture working. Right now, I'll have 69 hours to go for my working hours. The number should have been ZERO. I guess after this I'll never be stepping into any logistics related job ever.

It is when I got to know this wonderful girl in my life that I knew what the word love meant. As the saying goes, there is a woman behind every successful man. When I complete my internship, she will be the woman behind me that gave me the strength to continue my internship. 23 December 2010, the day we got together. It is when miracles are created. Who would have expected that someone not so attractive will get a girlfriend faster than anyone else? I really enjoy the times we had together in Starbucks, Fish & Co, Yuki Yaki, The Cafe Cartel, Coffee Bean and Golden Village. Ultimately, I hope we can complete our goal of accessing all 66 Starbucks outlet in Singapore, or make that 68! =)

Thanks for being by my side when I needed emotional support.

Thanks for creating those little surprises when I am feeling down.

Thanks for sparing a thought for my pocket when we go out.

Thanks for letting me have a chance to hold your hand.

 Lee Hui Ling Daphne, I love you. =)

Happy 2011!

2010 has come and past. It has been both a good and bad year with lots of highlights as well as downs. Let's go through a swift rewind of the year 2010...

January 2010

This is the month that I managed to get my iPhone 3GS and had my I&E Project. Nothing much to talk about my phone, but we actually got scammed for our I&E and used soda biscuits for an emergency backup plan! 

February 2010

Chinese New Year - Got lots of angbaos as usual, although it has decreased from the time when I was young. HI! Club Closing Ceremony on 5th Feb, signed It's My Life - Bon Jovi. On 6th Feb, went to the Singapore Airshow, a must for all aviation enthusiasts!

March 2010

Booked my first Business Class flight and China Domestic Flight. A crazy 6 flights in 2 weeks, what I really love! =) Went for the Pirate's Camp and signed Beast of Pirate's Bay - Voltaire. Apparently I talked to her without even me knowing! :p

April 2010

HI-O, it was a wonderful event! Was watching Star Awards 2010 when I got to know that the instructor email has been sent out but I did not receive it. Was very sad but actually found out that they left out my name. Boo, left out the wrong person, almost broke my heart! =X Alas, that begins the journey of becoming a HI! Club Instructor...

May 2010

Performed at HI! Club Opening Ceremony for the first time ever. Song was Mambo No. 5 - Lou Bega. Intermediate lessons started. Got to know her better through the lessons. =) DXF was formed on 29th May 2010! Also, gave up on the previous girl after so long.

June 2010

Finally got onto a London Cab after so long, it was incredibly spacious inside! Also, embarked on my first Business Class flight booked in March. Visited Shanghai for the first time ever, it was a wonderful city! Also managed to pay Shantou a visit. Got to know a great a.netter who has now turned into a Brother from another Mother. Looking forward to our trip!

July 2010

19th Birthday - Cooking at home as celebration. Up to 80+ wishes on Facebook which I deeply appreciate it. HI! Club Closing Ceremony on 30th July 2010, performed We're Dancing - PYT, Telephone - Lady Gaga, Hush Hush I Will Survive - Pussycat Dolls and reflected for my class Top of the World - The Carpenters. My busiest closing ceremony so far, and should be the only one I will be so busy.

August 2010

Kuala Lumpur and Genting Trip 13th - 16th August. Got to know her better throughout the trip. I was asked who I like but I replied that I am still confirming my feelings for that girl. Was asked who I like during Indian Poker, I was asked who I like. I was tempted to reply her but at that time I was unable to confirm my feelings. Still having feelings for the previous her, I replied about stuffs related to the previous her. Not really lying, I guess. I got asked another question - Who in the DaXiao Family do you think is the most compatible with you? I was also tempted to reply her but instead I replied no one for the same reasons as above. She replied no one too, made me wonder if her answer was also me? Hmm... Apparently we get together very well throughout the trip.

DXF Picnic on 25th August 2010 - Confidence dropped greatly when the Fried Rice I was supposed to make turned out like sh*t. Used Fried Noodles as a last resort but did not turn out really well. Probably better luck next time.

September 2010

Began attachment at Toll Logistics (Asia) Limited. That's when a very no-life lifestyle began for me. Work, rest, work, rest. No energy to out. Was really lethargic in the first few weeks as I was still getting used to the schedule. Began messaging her everyday and she gave me the comfort and emotional support I needed to go on my attachment. She revealed to me that she likes someone - Made me wondering if it was me and I really hoped it was. =X 

October 2010

Having withdrawal symptoms of not going onto a plane for too long, therefore booked on a day trip to Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, Malaysia. First time taking AirAsia and was mesmerized by them. She picked me up from the airport and fed me cookies for the first time. It felt great. ^.^

November 2010

She confessed to me on 20 November 12:35:00. That began the process of preparing myself mentally for a relationship. I was afraid I couldn't commit.

December 2010

DXF Gift Exchange on 20 December. She gave me a Doraemon and I gave her a cup with I love you on it. We officially became together on 23 December 2010, 11.11am London time. =D Went for a countdown with colleagues and the fireworks were wonderful!

That concludes my 2010 and the end of this blog. Will be switching to LiveJournal from now onwards. Goodbye initious.blogspot.com and thank you.
