I know I said the previous post was the last..

But kns it is SO HARD trying not to dayre. Ahpei made me take so many pictures over the weekend (it’s only been 2 days but the cold turkey is so bad wtf dayre are you a cigarette) but I’m like, take so many pictures also not gonna dayre 😔😔

Tried weblogit but I deleted it as quickly as I downloaded it lolol dat shit gave me such a headache 😆

I don’t wanna write anywhere else (Wordpress or other apps) since I alr have missgoob.com so everything will be there if dayre really is going to be no more. It’s dayre or nothing!!

Tried to IG story a lot more but who am I kidding,
IT IS JUST NOT THE SAME 😩

Although I really need to thank you guys for following me there and sending so many messages to encourage me to come back to writing here 😢

And all the birthday texts.. I really want to krai 😭❤️

I thought I could just
say bye to Dayre..

But I actually teared while writing this.

Looking at Gooby walking around the house like a curious rat, I ALWAYS ALWAYS think back to that dark period, that very fateful day he collapsed as if his legs turned into jelly.

And also to the time when Ahpei and I were in our small Bukit Timah shop, handing out kek slices to all of you who bought keks to raise funds for Gugubie’s surgery so he can walk again. He stands weak now but when he’s excited he can even do a silly run!!

😭😭😭

Pregnant with food baby also counted right?

And yes, I read about EVERYTHING, even about your lovely pets like Bambuu, Danny, Goofy, Chloe.. even the late Scout and Toby 😌🙏🏼

From the first freaking day.

And I wrote LOTS OF FOOD; it got cut off haha. Tried so many good stuff (and got phat) just from reading dayre 🤣

Since it’s my birthday today, I shall make a wish.

I wish Dayre can stay (I’m sure we will all stay) although it probably takes a miracle & I also wish for everyone to be heppi here 😌🙏🏼

And before I get to my post proper, just wanna say thank you @sgbudgetbabe for everything you are doing for US.

I’ll support you in every way I can, be it a signature or a survey, or anything more you might need me to share :)

Ok drying my tears to write a heppi post! :’)

Starting with this COFFEE KEK I baked for a very special order.

We actually don’t have coffee as one of the flavours on our menu but someone ordered this kek for his terminally ill dad who might be celebrating his very last birthday.. 😢

He requested for a coffee kek so I really couldn’t make him settle for an alternative. I didn’t want to either.

It was quite a last minute order so I didn’t have time to experiment and this was the product of my one-shot-bake 😆

Thankfully it was gud! 🙏🏼

Probably gonna make this again during our next bake sale, which will probably be after CNY hao ma? Focus your calories on Chinese New Year goodies for now hehehe.

Coffee lovers y’all must wait for this ok! 🍰☕️

Ended work early on a weekday and met BESTFRIEND @lettytan for an early birthday dinner!

We took a walk into Sentosa from Vivo 😌

Had dinner at Wave House (every Wednesday got 1 for 1 don’t say I nv share!!) & we were so stuffed lol.

The 1 for 1 is great BUT a bit lame cos the free item must be identical 😅 Heng we both like cream based pastas lolol.

But then..

How to finish two sets of nachos 😵😵

I had to bring home the other set for my family lolol. We couldn’t even finish our portion la!!

This heap of goodness tho 🌮🥑

The portion was legit huge and I recommend it for sharing among 3-4 pax haha. #goodthingsmustshare

Had such a great time talking and laughing my head off that night! Thank you so much for the birthday treat BESTFRIEND! 🙆🏻‍♀️❤️

Ahpei made me laugh out so hard that night cos it was 1111 and he accidentally texted his car wash guy HAHAHAHAHAHAHA I KENT 🤣

And this is why we never get things done 😅

#truth lol 😆

Met ahlao and his family after work on Saturday since my plans to meet friends got cancelled hehe.

Walking around Orchard is so scary cos there’s so much fud to try!! I tried my bez but still caved when I saw this MENTAIKO BAGUETTE 🤤🤤

Ahlao was really sweet and bought it for me immediately when he caught me lingering at the bakery lolol 😁

It was a bit salty but still quite gud! Hehehe.
Bread is love. Carbs iz lyfeee.

Weekends with you 🤪

We walked around the wholeeee afternoon and finally got home in the evening. His folks went straight to CWP for more shopping and we helped them carry their loots home and stole some time for a nap too hehe.

I am worse than an old woman 😂

This is us on the MRT lolol.

My ahlao makes sure he HOLDS ME DAMN TIGHTLY so I won’t fall on the train 🤣

I feel very safe thank you HAHA.

Escalator rides with Ahpei are the best kiki 💕

Anw my ahlao I currently soooo hooked on this soldier app game lolol. So I always gajiao him and act upset when he plays the game hahaha. But I’m really ok with it la cos I use the time to edit photos and IG 😅

Good thing is, Ahpei really gives me his 100% attention when we are in dating-mode. He never opens the game when we are hanging out spending quality time, and I’m thankful for that hehe 😌

But that doesn’t mean I don’t disturb him hahaha 😆

THEN AHLAO KRAI 😂😂

So cute leh zomg. Then I must sayang him 😅

And on Sunday,
we visited #SungHouse again!

To retrieve 🍍🍍 hehe.

Thankfully there were no ants! But after a week, the bottom of the pineapple got s bit mouldy 😅 发 liao lor!!

Geeky ahlao also brought this along to paste on our wall 😂

—

I am so sorry for the laggy updates guys, cos I was so occupied with ahlao & family time the past couple days then tuesday was just work chionging. It’s almost 2am now and I’m finally rewinding time to finish my post!

—

So we were at our new house and it was already evening time. We didn’t make plans for anything after that but all of the sudden, Ahpei announced that we were going for a picnic! 😧

👩🏻 Why suddenly go picnic?

👦🏻 Cos jiejie like.

👩🏻 Eee.. *secretly wondering if it’s for my birthday but then it’s not my birthday yet so I don’t dare to think to much hahaha*

👦🏻 Where’s the nearest Giant? We need to buy a picnic mat.

👩🏻 Wait, but where are we going to have a picnic?!

👦🏻 Nearby.

👩🏻 Henderson Waves? But you’re afraid of heights 😅

👦🏻 No la.

👩🏻 Mount Faber? Sentosa?!

👦🏻 Labrador.

👩🏻 EEEEEEEEEEEE. Xiexie ahlao :’)

Cos the thing is, I’ve always wanted to check out Labrador Park; I’ve only been there once when I was a kid and I have very vague memories of that place..

I casually mentioned about checking out Labrador someday cos we drove past the road sign the other day haha.

So Ahpei actually remembers and planned to take me there this time! 😃

Since we had literally NOTHING suitable for a picnic with us, we headed to the nearby NTUC to get some food. There was obviously not much ready-to-eat dinner food & that outlet didn’t sell picnic mats either!

Ahpei was rushing here and there, shuttling in and out of the supermarket, valu dollar shop and household store trying to find a mat for us. I xiao touched, but I was also half wondering - WHATS THE HURRY LOL.

He’s usually a very chill and more of a stroll person but he was walking so fast that day!! And he kept checking his watch, but I just don’t know why!

👦🏻 What do you want to eat?

👩🏻 I’m ok with anything you want! We can dabao hawker food since there’s only tidbits and biscuits here.. Or we go Vivo and buy?

👦🏻 We don’t have time. Ok forget it. We grab some food and go to Labrador first. Then I bring you to Vivo for dinner.

👩🏻 That’s like having dinner twice?!?! 🙀

👦🏻 This is a picnic only!!! #okcan

In the end we grabbed a carton of barley drink and a packet of snacks, before making our way to Labrador!

I don’t really expect surprises or secret plans from Ahpei (since we are alr married and this stage plus I really very low expectations one lolol 😅) but seeing him all gancheong and eager to execute his plan did make me feel a bit excited and really special 💓

Teeheehee 🤗

Tbh, any form of nature therapy just makes me really heppi and eggcited hehe. I love checking out parks and stuff! 😁

My ahlao knows me very well 🙆🏻‍♀️

Trees welcoming meeeee! 🌲🌲

We parked at the wrong carpark at first and didn’t know how to get to the park from Tamarind Hill. Ahpei was like “Ok let’s go let’s go!!” And he kept checking his watch it was really starting to bother me!

Bother not like an annoyed kind of bother but just sibeh curious if we were very very late for sth or what la lolol.

I was like wow ok rerac haoma what’s the rush is it catching the polar express!! 😆

When we finally arrived, I realised - Ahpei wanted to let me see the sunset 😌

Kikiki so heppi 💓💓

The breeze was bagus that day & I was so heppi hehe. Perfect for a park date! 🤗

Thank you for bringing me here 💋

The place wasn’t took crowded too, despite being a weekend. Which was great! Can’t wait to come here often after we move in hehe :)

Ahlao’s face 😂😂

It was quite cloudy that evening so the sunset wasn’t too in your face haha, much to Ahpei’s disappointment. Cos he googled pictures of purple and orange sunsets and wanted me to see that awww 👉🏼👈🏼

But I was still super thankful to be there 😌

I asked Ahpei if he could take photos of me and the trees 😁

And he took some really nice shots :))

I loveeeee my hair colour under the natural light! It’s on fiyaaa 🔥

Dis ma fav ❤️✨

We found a bench, sat down to eat our snacks, and I was presented with rings for my birthday 💍

I was laughing so much cos my rings can’t even fit?! Like only go until my nails there 🤣

We really super self-entertain lolol is it in love then become stupiak 😅

But I loved my rings so much hehehehe 😁

I realised heppiness can really be so simple when you’re with the right company.. you don’t even have to do exciting things but you still feel like your heart is bursting 💓

May we always be contented with simple things! 🙏🏼

💋💋

Cloudy sunset, but still a beautiful sight 😍

This is 💯 reality - my face IS bigger 🤣

This is fake cos I hide behind BAHAHA. But my heppiness was 8000% 🙌🏼

I felt so so so loved and lucky to be right there and then with the love of my life, sitting in a park, taking in the sunset, surrounded by trees 😌🌳❤️

Ahpei later told me that he almost booked some dinner for us at some altitude place but he struggled a bit cos he still felt I’d love this better.

WHICH I TODALI DID.

I’m so glad he chose nature therapy for me la! He knows exactly what would make me heppi 😌

Although I was xiao touched at his thoughtful plan, but I absolutely CANNOT appreciate fine dining and my hart would be so pain to enjoy that $400+ meal la really 😩

I really am not the kind of person who will splurge on food cos imma poop the next day anyway! 😅

A legit ytf over atas fud ANYTIME.

Ahpei explained that he wanted to bring me out for a nice meal since it was my birthday.. so he thought of bringing me there to 看夜景 haha but then hor, so dark cannot see my Ahlao’s fez...... 😍😍

We struggled with dinner options cos Ahpei insisted on bringing me to a restaurant to eat gud fud but then..

Gud fud be at Seah Im??? 😆

He told me to choose a place and I was like - I don’t know what to choose 😨

I finally picked ramen (enough of western food zomg I am so asian need my soup) so we went to a laksa steamboat place!

But the parking was full so we headed to Vivo instead, since it’s the nearest mall.

Ended up at Menya Musahi (I’ve never tried the ramen here so yep! 😋) and these were side dishes from Ahpei’s premium set.

I picked an a la carte ramen cos I need to stop over-eating! Every meal leading up to CNY is just a sin zomg I kent even.

Thank you for spoiling me:

We are seldom found in restaurant settings cos my natural habitat be like coffeeshop or foodcourt lol.

It actually felt a bit weird to be sitting in a restaurant with Ahpei tbh 😬

Stole a piece of lettuce for my birthday moustache 😂

Dinner is served!

We both picked the BLACK soup base, with garlic oil. Sibeh flavourful and kind of like the Nantsuttei one!

And would you check out my gigantic chicken leg!! 🤤🤤🤤

This was only $14.9 (excusing taxes) which I though was very worth it?!

I picked the thin noodles cos I prefer my ramen more al dente!

Ahpei picked the thicker, softer kind 😅

I tried some and they felt like soggy noodles in my mouth so nope lol.

Egg was bagusssss 👅

The noodle portion was also quite legit but Ahpei had to eat some for me since my chicken leg was so huge!

And wah the meat was perfectly tender and fell off the bones so easily! Todali bagus I highly recommend it!! 👍🏼

Thank you for the birthday treat ahlao 🙆🏻‍♀️❤️

We went shopping for CNY gifts for our folks at the atrium area and came across this super cute door mat at one of the pushcarts!

It was like $20 but I loved it so much la!!

Ahpei liked it too and we wanted to get it for our house but then we had CNY errands to run so we wanted to come back later to get it.

And guess who forgot about it.

US 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♂️

But at least we completed our tasks 😆

Ahlao volunteered to carry the heavy stuff while I only had to carry 1 box of cookies.. thank you for always being so nice to me 💕

Got home, showered & then ahlao presented me with a laminated version of his handwritten wedding vows! 🎁

I’ve always wished he’d write them out for me since I was crying the whole time during our solemnisation when he said his vows lolol 😅

I jokingly asked him is he could recite them again for me without looking.

AND HE DID!

He legit memorised it like the pledge leh what the... I was too shocked and too touched 😢

😭😭

After he said his vows again, Ahpei asked if I remember mine and I was like.. I forgot liao 😬

Wah I am such a horrible person lolol I todali cannot memorise things laaaa. But I still love you ahlao! 🤗

As we lay in bed that night, I felt so overwhelmed with all the emotions that I cried..

I don’t know why but sometimes when life is too perfect with ahlao, then there will be a trade off.

😭😭

Like, too many good things at happening to me and I feel that I don’t truly deserve all these.. and I get really worried and so scared that bad things will happen.

I DONT KNOW WHY BUT YA.

Too heppi also want to krai 😔 Ahpei didn’t say much but just held me and told me that he loves me.

The next morning, I stirred in my sleep but I felt Ahpei get out of bed to prepare to go to work. He came back and hugged me from the back and we lay like that for a while.

The next time I woke up, it was 1030am already and I was so sed to find Ahpei’s side of the bed empty!! 😭

I knew he left for work without waking me cos he sked I tired and wanted to lemme sleep more but then I also wished he woke me so I could hug and kiss him goodbye even though I am half asleep!! 😩

I hate the feeling of not saying bye to him and I was so upset with myself for concussing sighhh. And also the fact that my ahlao left without waking me to say bye 😔

Carried on with my day after leaving Ahpei’s house cos I was meeting my folks for lunch! They are bringing me to dim sum hehe 😍

Long story short, we ordered a lot again lol. Baba had a $100 off voucher (without minimum spending somemore!!) for Tien Court so that’s where we were haha.

Food was pretty good but a bit pricy! We still paid $98 after $100 off leh! Granted taxes are quite a bit but ya 😅

This was the star dish and also the most expensive one at almost $40 for 6 skewers if prawn & scallops with black truffle sauce.

The seafood was really fresh and gud though the truffle can be stronger haha.

I also had a mini orhnee birthday kek haha. Thank you baba mama for the birthday treat! I really really enjoyed the fud very much 🤗

And thank you bringing me up so well, always feeding me with all the delicious fud until I go TAF Club 😂😂

Jokes aside, thank you for being the best parents to me and supporting my dreams so I can be who I am today 🙆🏻‍♀️❤️ @3gmum @kaimeng

Came home to rest for a bit after lunch before heading downstairs for a swim cos I am too guilty lol. Plus the weather was so hot I needed to cool off!

Somemore got reunion dinner later that night!😆

Who else hates post-swim hair?! 🙋🏻‍♀️ Mega tangled I had to condition twice lolol.

Took some time to give my phat body some love since it’s my birthday and it’s about time I love myself more.... 🙃

I mean I could stand like that and pretend I’m rather slim.. and convince myself that the shadow lines are actually my long-lost abs... but I know that would be lying to myself la 💁🏻‍♀️

Turning 29 and into my last year before I turn 30 (wtf I thought I was 15?? Why time fly so fast 😪), I want to embrace my body and even it’s flaws.

So for the first time ever, say hi to my rolls! 👋🏼

No I do not have abs (not even ab shadows) but yes imma strut around in a 2 piece swimsuit anyway!!

No I am not Pooh bear but imma rock a crop top anyway!!!! 🙌🏼

No I am not saying it’s okay to be overweight/unhealthy (let’s not get there) in fact I encourage y’all to eat right as much as possible and exercise to reach you whatever body/health goals.

I know it’s hard just look at me lolol but we can all TRY 😌

But I guess I just wanna come to terms with MYSELF and MY BODY and accept myself more :)

Just a day ago I was indulging in some low self esteem shit and these thoughts are really poisonous yet sometimes I really cannot halp myself la 😑

But regardless of how shitty I feel, I am thankful for an ever encouraging ahlao who ALWAYS assures me that I’m fine, and more than enough 😩❤️

Even though I still gajiao his spelling 😂

So ya you girls out there please, love your rolls and imperfections cos no matter what you are perfect in your own way.

YOU ARE STILL BEAUTIFUL GERRR! 🙆🏻‍♀️

All showered and ready for 团圆饭! 🍚

Grabbed my 阿狗狗 for a picture before leaving the house hehe. He looks like a puppy zomg 😭 Too cuteeeeee.

Lohei! 🎉

Had ours at Keng Eng Kee this year and the place was bursting with people on a Monday night!!

Food was really nubbad but skip the roast chicken cos it was so dry for both our tables sigh.

The rest were all bagus, especially the sotong youtiao hehe 🤤

Ahlec drove us (sisters & ahlao) home after dinner cos Ahpei parked his car at my place before grabbing over!

I thought why he so weird cannot drive straight to our dinner place.

But what I didn’t know was, Nya Nya tasked him to get a birthday kek for me so he had to drop it off at home!

Came home to yet another surprise 😭😭

Thank you for rushing around to get the kek & thank you mala for the surprise :’)

Just a small slice since we were alr bursting from dinner! So all of us (including our helper Nilar) shared this slice HAHAHAHA 😂

One slice divide into 8 sia huat ah 🙌🏼

Ahpei looks so dark here but all he did was spend one afternoon under the sun lolol.

HAHAHAHA GUGUBIE 🤣🤣

He starts barking every time we sing a birthday song I don’t know why!! Is it want to sing for me?? 🐶💕

It’s like he’s trying he’s hardest to sing a song for me wholeheartedly BAHAHA he is too cute 😂

I wish everyone can be heppi 🎂

And the annual ‘red egg ceremony’ where Nya Nya rolls the egg over our face and says suspicious things hehehehe 😁

Last part was Ahpei disturbing saying she should crack the egg on my forehead lol zbj 😅

Thank you for everything, my wonderful family 🙆🏻‍♀️❤️

We were all chatting when ahlao suddenly clenched his fist over my hand and told me to guess what’s inside.

👩🏻 What. Don’t gajiao me.

👦🏻 Guess what it is!!

👩🏻 Nu.

👦🏻 Guessssss.

👩🏻 Lizard.

👦🏻 Nuuu.

👩🏻 What is it!!

👦🏻 Guess la!!

👩🏻 My birthday present.

👦🏻 Correct!

👩🏻 And it is air. *still thinking he’s gonna gajiao me*

But ahlao slowly released 12 saga seeds into my palm :’)))

Not enough chairs so ahlao invited me to sit on his lap kiki. I’m not even cotton wool but he carries all of my weight readily 🤗

😂😂😂

So sun burnt la sia! We really is 黑白配 now 😁

Guess who texted me too! All the way from Philippines 💕💕

Boss took care of me since I was a baby until I was 22, before she went back to join her family. She literally gave up her youth and family time for all of us laaa 😭

She’s coming back to visit us this March and also to attend Ling’s wedding! I KENT WAIT for her to meet my ahlao!! 😍

She used to disturb me by calling me bakulaw cos of my size and she predicted me marrying an angmoh cos they like bigger girls 😅😂

BUT I MARRIED AHLAO OK!!

Jokes aside I really can’t wait for our reunion with her. She’s really like half our mother and we really miss her so so much! Really glad that her health checkup went well so her doctor let her travel :))

Boss is getting on in years already and I’m just so thankful to be able to see her in person again 😌🙏🏼

It was almost midnight already when I kissed my baby rat goodbye cos I was gonna stay over at ahlao’s place one more day before returning to work 😁

We planned to watch Downsizing while chilling in bed but by the time we reached home, we were both too tired for anything and ended up choosing to sleep instead lolol 老人 🤦🏻‍♀️

Well so that sums up my very long birthday recap! If you read till here, THANK YOU, from the bottom of my heart 😌

Thank you for the well wishes and comments too guys! It felt so gud to be writing again :’)

I’ll really miss dayre if it’s gone but I hope we stay connected in every other way ok! ❤️

Thank you for sharing my highs and lows, watching me grow and get married. Legit.

Love,
missgoob.
