Hi Peeps!

I am back from Taipei since last Saturday night.

Time passes very fast, like I always say.

Momo is chilling on the flight back to Melb, close to an hour now.

She has been with me for the past four days and I enjoyed every minute of it.

However, I feel really bad though... that I couldn't spend time with her like how I always do whenever she is here. Cos, I have no more leave lah! Plus, Mon&Tue, I worked full shifts which really sucks. I should have spent the morning with her on Tue instead of going to work at 9am. sigh... anyways...

My heart has been with her for the two days I was at work, I even found time ticking so slow. Can't wait to get home at the strike at 11pm. As I left my mobile for her, at the very least, I could check on her there and then at work and see how she was doing on her own and apparently, she was going on fine and busy! Haha...! This girl has her own way!

Still, I will very much prefer to spend time with her when she is here. I even chided her for going home on Wed instead of Thurs. I vented my furstrations on her. Haha..! cos, my dear friend went to the airport herself, I was not there with her but at work. *PUI

Here is a little foot trail Momo took for the days she was on her own. = )

Mon (18th Aug 08)

On Sunday night, before I fell sleep, she commanded me to wake her up when I prepare for work the next morning, so she could go marketing at the wet market. I didn't as I wanted her to sleep in later since it's a holiday for her, plus the day will be shorter so she won't find it hard to pass (actually that was what I thought)

-Before I realised, she was standing right in front at the counter by 10am, chided me for not waking her up, passed me my wallet which I forgotten to bring and left to do her marketing.

-went to Hougang Mall NTUC for marketing as there was nothing much at the wet market and chided me again for not waking her up earlier. asked whether i wanted corn soup for dinner. I left it to her to decide what to cook, with whatever ingredients she can get. " how about the toyko chix stew you brought me yesterday?" she asked. "cool, up to you if you can get the ingredients that you need." I said. = )

-went home by 12plus and packed her groceries, chopped her vegetables and get ready stuff for dinner at night, while watching Dvd.

-Left home at 2pm, brought in all the laundry from outside as it was going to rain and she called up asking me where to take 88 so she won't get drenched and ran after the bus after she saw the bus coming in her direction. Haha...!

-Went to Amk to help Mom close her stall. Mom did not allow her to help her cos she was all dressed up... Haha...! After Mom closed her stall, both went to Shop&save while waiting for Dad to pick them up. At round 3pm, she was at Sheng Siong with parents grocery shopping again cos she did not manage to get everything that she needs for the soup at NTUC. Cute! Mom was amused when she exclaimed "哇！这里有这么多菜买呀！" Haha...!

-4pm dropped by my workplace and passed me my mobile for a chat with sis Fivien and I excused myself to get her 1st meal of the day at the 菜饭 stall I always patron.

-I called home at 730pm and asked Mom what they were all doing and Mom said they were watching Tv and Momo still cooking dinner. Hahaha!!!! I laughed loudly! Mom said "都是你啦，一定是你叫她煮啦，麻烦utomo。" I did not 哦! I spoke to her and she said she was almost done.

-8plus, she called and told me dinner was ready. I ran home to get my dinner and wow! I immediately sat down to drink the soup, ate the french beans and this really nice curry chix wrapped up delicately in pandan leaf. She told me it was this chix that took her so long or else she would have done her cooking long ago, just wrapping up the chix took her 2hours. When I ate, I did not bear to rip the leaf off the chix but carefully peeled it off cos I could feel her effort and love. It was an eye candy seeing those little chix wrapped up so nicely like a pressies. Squeezed me orange juice while I ate and soon chased me off to work with my bentos and another for Tingfeng.

-930pm, I called to tease her and say thanks speaking in Japanese which Tf taught me and asked what she was doing. She was watching Dvd and I asked whether she wanted any more snacks if she watches drama at night and she wanted ice-cream. I told her to come down. Brought her to NTUC to choose her ice-cream and went back to the clinic with me initially to pick up those bento from me but in the end, surfed net while waiting for me to knock off.

-11pm, we both happily held hands and hopped home together under the moonlight. hehehe

-Helped her to wash some dirty laundry, hung them to dry, boiled some eggs. I was really so tired, my eye couldn't open by 2am, I was knocked out I had no idea what time she turned in. and before I lost sense, I vaguely heard "You remember to bring me to Mc to eat the Mc Griddles tomorrow morning ar, ‘‘不然，你就对不起我了咯。” "Yes, my dear." Z..zzz.z..ZZzz...

I FOUND THIS RECIEPT TOGETHER IN A BAG WITH OTHER CRUSHED ONES SHE LEFT BEHIND.

Those she bought above were mostly ingredients for the soup she made for dinner, still not including huaishan, lotus root, carrots and other stuff she bought when she was with parents at Sheng Siong. tuna, eggs and mayo and a lil greens she bought were for the sandwiches she made me for Tuesday breakfast. Her sandwiches are really nice! tuna&eggs my favourites! mean ones she make!

Tue (19th Aug 08)

I woke up like 8am, showered and brought her down for Mc Griddles meal. I never have the habit of eating straight after awake. Still I had my breakfast together with her and brought back that half burger to work with me. I was really sleepy but soon got better while chatting with her over brekkie. This day, I am so early. Reached work right on the dot 9am! She went home to get ready to go out.

At 10am, she brought down my egg sandwiches, my water bottle and packed extra two yam pastry I bought in Taipei. I would say momo's hands is really fast. In an hour's time, she can prep herself to go out and also find enough time to make me sandwiches. cos I remember after the eggs were cooked, we put it in the fridge as we were both so tired to make the egg mayo we initially wanted to.

Met her sister's friend mother at AMK to pick up something and catch up abit at 1030am. After which, she walked over to Ma's stall and passed Mom the egg mayo sandwiches she made. Took 136 to Kovan and visited her ex-guardian's sister. Went to compass point and spent the longest time there. Bought stationery, chinese books for sis fivien, shower gels and etc before coming back to find me at around 6pm.

Went home and got ready to meet her ex-guardian for dinner. Went off at 8plus and her friend picked her up to go together. Came back at 10pm sharp at the clinic and waited for me to knock off. That's cute. I thought she would come back later than that. Boy! Was I pleased when I saw her appearing right in front of me at 10pm! Kept urging me to be quick and go home when the clock striked 11pm. Haha...!

By the time, I got home, I really couldn't wait to lie flat on my comfy bed! I think I took seconds to doze off and she woke me up for laksa! I know I should spend more time with her, but when I am really so sleepy, I let my tiredness get the better of me! The previous day at work was already wearing me off and the fact that the computer at work was not working on Tue the minute I stepped in till around 430pm, I was not having an easy time. Everything had to be done manually and after the computer was fixed, we had more to do! Grr...RRR... I was muttering under my breath. Luckily, patients came a lil at a time and not all at one go which made things better!

Wed (20th aug 08)

Bad toothache and can't hold out any longer. I needed to see a dentist badly, esp when I was at Taipei on 2nd night, I think I bite into something hard and when I chewed gum, there was something hard stuck at the gum which I thought "my tooth broke". Haha...! But, momo said it could be my fillings? No idea, but that pain was consistently there. My wisdom tooth area was also starting to hurt again. Imagine tooth aching at lower right and upper left, what kind of a feeling is that?! Went to the dentist and paid $170 for the treatment! *gag* Not going to dive into details of what I went through at the dentist! Just one word---> HORRID! Bleagh....

Bought momo nasi lemak, mee pok and mee siam to eat. Was grumbling she did not have any of these this time and got her all at one go until she was so scared and dare not go on talking about what she had missed! HAHAHA!!!!!!!!! Had her share of sugar cane juice too and she was HAPPY!

Companied her at the dining table watching her eat all the food we bought plus Mom's laksa. I went off to work whereas her, she needed to pack her luggage. Came down to find me at 9pm after packing all her stuff and knowing I can't do without water and that I left my bottle at home, she filled up my bottle and brought for me when I didn't even asked. Where can I find such a friend precious as gem and one who understands me so well? This action of hers, makes me all the more not willing to let her go back. If she can stay... Anyways...

After being taken good care of by her for 3days, it is time for me to get back to the life I have been leading as usual and work hard at my goals! Good Times Flies!~ Gambatte Salt&Pepper!

Baby, thanks for improving and making my life better during your short stay. Although your stay was short, but You did so much and made those 4days HAPPY TIMES for me. You might not notice and you won't know that, in fact You have already add on some magic touches to my usual lifestyle habits and improved on them a little. Thanks for everything. i love you.
