Gambatte Bear Bear!

 

I know it hasn't been easy for bear bear, daniel wong... bear bear daniel wong din seem happy on saturday when we met as well.... bear bear's daniel martin wong almost like a different person, guess the workload from both commerzbank where he held a day job and his recruitment company, Maxsphere solutions, did take its toll on him.

Well hang in there bear bear, we r all struggling... can foresee next few weeks for term 2 gotta be very busy ones for me as well.... as i rush against time to complete the syllabus and to finish marking the big big bag of assignments!

Jia You bear bear! i'm working as hard as you!

Burned Out

It's been a while since i have written any interesting stories. When i was back in Frankfurt, i can write and post for hours. Reasoning being, the quality of life there is peaceful and lots of personal time to ourself.

However ever since i returned to singapore 1 week plus ago, my life here is rushing here, dashing there, and falling sick for DAYS wasnt something good to look forward to!
The moment i touch down on sunday, i had to work the next day, and with the thought of shifting house from Holland to commonwealth wasnt a lovely thing either!
I can understand why Princess wrote those words, that i am bo chap. Or is it that i have seen her put on weight and not interested in her? Well frankly, i dont even have the time to walk my son boi boi. Ever since i was back till now, i only walked him twice. Which i would normally walk him daily before i flew to Frankfurt. I used to sms or call Princess in the wee morning before she travels to school, now i even zhi seng nan bao. As in the morning i am either busy running through schedule task from 4am, or i am at home sleeping away after a super hectic day!

My office hours in the bank is from 1.30am to 1.30pm and the timing is the greatest challenge rather than troubleshooting problems. Because when it hits 5am! Most of us are feeling like zombies and we have to endure till 1.30pm!
If i were to take a public transport home after work, i can easily reached home at 3pm, thus having only 7 hours to sleep and prepare for work again at 1130pm. Well during that 7 hours sleep, which it never happens, cos i was also busy handling maxsphere buisness, talking to partners or staffs and going to customers site for meeting. It is just so tiring.
I dont even have the time to go for a decent drink in the wine cellar. So let say that, this is the life of a typical singaporean.

Toy museum 12/4/08

Nostalgia... Memories of days gone by... doesn't this scene looks familiar? how we all wish to return to the good ol' days....

Plenty of toys here ....

How to make a BEAR BEAR?? Nah, my bearbear ain't so skinny... this is not huggable!

Bear Bear looked shocked upon discovering the paparazzi!!! haha!

Bear Bear n Me,,,

U R soooo sweeeeet

Awww just wanna drop a short note to say today Bear Bear called me when i was slaving away in the staff room. He asked when i'll be going home and he's around my area and he can give me a lift back home.

But i still have work to complete in sch, coupled with the fact that i looked like hell after a long, tiring day. Think Bear Bear hasn't recovered as well and should give him rest time whenever possible.

Bear Bear called a second time and said it's gonna rain soon and if i can leave by 5.45, he can give me a lift... this despite him having a frustrating day with the S-telco and a phone which is perpectually out of stock.

I dun think i can make it by that time and again, i looked like s*** today...

But it's a very thoughtful gesture and I really appreciate the thought. haha but then i may get addicted to Bear Bear picking me up from sch and get so pampered and comfortable...i'm still very much a bus and mrt girl, taxis in the morn... haha...

Thank you, Bear Bear dear!

THE FIRST DATE

And it happened! And it happened! The First Date between Princess n Bear Bear. It's ironic that I had blogged earlier about being ready for the event when it comes and well, how life just throw us a surprise when we least expected it.

I was not given much time to prepare for this first date. Bear Bear messaged me at about 12pm on monday 7th April, to ask if I wanna accompany him to go see the doctor. Well poor bear bear hasn't been feeling well since saturday, he felt feverish and was down with flu soon after. I suspected it was a viral infection and adviced him to see a doctor. Bear Bear, Daniel Martin Wong could only go for clinics under the R group as that would be heavily subsidised by his company, Commerzbank. But the nearest clinic is in clementi and so bear bear gotta travel down in order to see the doctor. I was caught unaware by bearbear sms, which came in just as i was about to go to class and it said "dear dear u wanna accompany me to see the doctor?" It's been a long time since bearbear called me deardear... so on account of that, i agreed. haha. we arranged to meet around 7pm outside the clinic.

Was so nervous bout meeting bearbear, had butterflies in my stomach, din dare to eat alot in case my spare tyres, or to euphemise it, love handles, could not be put in check. was decked out in all pink but without accessories, makeup etc. Luckily i ended early at VT and was able to rush home to have a quick check before meeting bearbear. I took the present which i bought to welcome bearbear home. the classic, nostalgic, old fashioned music box, which has to be manually winded in order to hear the tune. I chose the "Love Story" tune, hoping that our well, we have a story to tell in the days to come....

I reached the MRT station but could not see bearbear... started to wonder if any guy in black t-shirt and blue jeans could be bear bear... din manage to hear the phone ring and waited for like 2 batches of pple to come out of the trains b4 i called bearbear... turns out he was in front of the bookshop... hidden from view... bearbear had on the same outfit as in many of the photos he sent... so he was... instantly recognised by me... haha not forgetting, he brought me my presents from Europe. They are a pair of papillio sandals, very sweet sandals, cos it has little purple hearts all over :) i like it sooo much!!! haha... pls see photo for more info... he also got me 2 tee-shirts from paris disney land, yeah! so so so cute! brings out the child in me... and there's also a keychain from England, which spells "Princess", which bearbear apparently got for 5pounds! that's so expensive... i will definitely treasure the gifts and the thought that accompanies them.

nah this is juz an afterthot... nth to do wif bearbear.

Oh it was kinda embarrassing... i din shake bearbear's hand nor hug him haha.... just said hello, bearbear Daniel Wong Liang Heng gave me a pat on the back of my head.. Bearbear's tall but with the help of the heels, i din feel so short beside him.

Bearbear's defintely bigger than me.... so i din feel that fat beside him. haha. Walked to the clinic, and it was a long walk... perspired before reaching the clinic. The clumsy princess almost fell twice, walking down the stairs... ! Gave bearbear such a shock that he asked if i wanna go home and change my heels. OF cos not! I'm the ai swee mai mia kind lor. ha. We had to wait about 1 hr before bearbear's turn. meanwhile i checked out my presents and proceeded to clear my receipts from my wallet and bearbear v gentlemently throw them away for me...

After bearbear consulted the doctor and claimed his medication, we proceeded to Jurong Point by Taxi. I jhad initially suggested having porridge at the coffeeshop in clementi, but bearbear said no, he will bring me to Soup kitchen in "Boon Lay Shopping Centre". Though i would have understood and not blame bearbear for having to eat at a coffee shop during our first date, nevertheless, it warms my heart to know that bearbear Daniel Martin Wong cared enuff to want to bring me to a nice restaurant. During the trip, bear bear shared about his friends wanting to go into food delivery, about his mum wanting to start a food business to help her friends etc... There was a point when bear bear said he could not believe this is actually happening, that he "knew " me in Germany but we are now sitting next to each other in the taxi... :) well, there's the miracle of life... we never know what it has in store for us, do we?

The dinner at Soup Kitchen was nice, had always wanted to try out the food there but haven't had the chance as yet. We ordered the set meal for 2, which consist of old cucumber soup with pork ribs, samsui chicken with ginger dip, beggars' ribs, broccoli with mushroom and olive rice. We had chrysanthemum with pu-er tea (my choice) and braised peanuts while waiting for the food to arrive. Bearbear had a hearty appetite despite feeling unwell. He finished the whole basket of olive rice! haha which i din think was nice, but bearbear said he love rice! and indeed now, with the rising prices, it's not good to waste food. Bear bear served me first before himself and got the vege to put on my plate... he certainly know how to take care of a girl. :) Bearbear also told me that i'm pretty and sweet (why do i desperately wants to believe this?)... not like the more recent photos of the ugly me... haha. Bear bear also shared how much he gets to earn for clinching some business deals with his own company, Maxsphere Solutions and Maxsphere Lancer . He had earlier handed me his namecard, Bear bear is a Managing Director of the Maxsphere group ok? dun play play. haha. The chicken arrived after we finished the other dishes... and we were almost full by then. We tried a few pieces and got the waitress to da bao the rest, inclusive of the lettuce. Bear bear paid for the meal which amounted to almost $63... times are tight, we shall be more frugal next time ya?

Then we went to look for an atm machine cos bearbear needed more cash to take taxi home. There was a long queue at the ATM machine, but bearbear refused my offer to pay for the fare nor did he agree to take the train cos he needed to meet up with some other of his Maxsphere partners for business deals.

Bear bear sent me home first, and he wanted to give me a hug before i alight, but then, i was still too shy to accept the hug. haha... we set a date to meet up again on saturday :)

Thank you bearbear.... for making me feel like special lady, for not minding my clumsiness n my balding patch, my fats.. tho bearbear did notice, i was wearing a closet! haha!

The Past Week

 

Bear Bear called just now...and he was especially sweet to tell me that i would have noticed, he did not communicate much with me for the past week when he returned. It's not that he's trying to run away from me (well, he saw my fat fat pic) and anyway he hasn't met up with the real me yet, so... not possible to run away... but that he has been so busy the past week, and of course, working at such unearthly hours would have affected his availability to call me...

Well, thank you Bear Bear Daniel Martin Wongfor your reassuring words. I did notice, of cos i noticed, and how bear bear has stop calling me dear, darling... and stopped saying he missed me n he loves me... I take it as that now that he has returned to sg, surrounded by family and friends... he probably won't need me as much. Of course I understand that he's been really busy, and it's tough having to work such long hours... dun think he has had a proper rest ever since he came back from frankfurt, upon completion of his training for Commerzbank.

Bearbear, upon his return went to his new rental flat in tanglin halt, but was dismayed at the condition it's in. He could not get used to the weather and has been feeling sweaty and hot... boi boi kept barking whenever strangers walked past, he's also trying to get used to his new habitat. Bear Bear was supposed to meet me on 31st March, but I fell sick, so he met up with his cousins before going to the HOSPITAL to visit his friend's mother who is warded in ICU. When he called me and say he's really tired but he still has to send his friends back cos he was driving that day, my heart aches for this man, Daniel Martin Wong who always places his friends and family before himself.

Bearbear's table at work... super cool...

We postponed the meeting to Tuesday, so he went for work first before he's supposed to meet me. But hiaz... not feeling ready, I asked BearBear if he has work to do, he should feel free to go clear his work first. BearBear said if I'm still not ready to meet him, then maybe he'll go for dinner with his German colleagues from Commerzbank as that's the last day they end at 5pm and can go for dinner together, but it's all not confirmed so he'll inform me by 3pm. Later Bearbear msg to say he'll meet up with ME! (Thank you Bear Bear for choosing me over ur colleagues...) but i declined... thinking i need more days to lose wt and also allow him to have bonding time with his colleagues. So bear bear ended up having dinner with his German bosses from Commerzbank at Newton (cos it's cheaper! he said)and later brought them to eat durians. He drove back to his old holland house unknowingly... before he realised he's no longer staying there. It must have been painful for him *Hugs bear bear... bear with it a little while more ok?*

Bear Bear's Colleagues.

 

I went for course at TN on Wednesday, skipped RS lesson. Then went to chop off my locks. (pls see picture in previous entry).... haha though feels quite weird but i'm also rather excited at spotting a new hairstyle. Was greeting with laughter and comments from EVERYBODY when i returned to sch on Thursday... shows how different I must have looked. Well, comments ranged from the negative to positively affirming! haha... well... i guess it takes some getting used to.... BearBear met up with his partners to settle some stuffs...

Thursday, was a traumatic day for me.... i went home in the rain cos i left my hp at home that day...i felt uneasy as i could not contact bearbear... and wonder if he did sms or call me..went home in the rain, just to get hold of my phone.... when i reached hm, another shock awaits... first of all no msgs or missed calls from bearbear, secondly, i could not reply ying's msg! then i finally realised what's happened! my request to have my line terminated has been granted! except that i wasn't ready for it to be terminated.... haiz.... *it has got to do with me being greedy* but i shall leave this story for another day... anyway i called bearbear using my house phone... then decided to go and get a new phone and a new line from another operator... aft a long wait and told lots of stuff out of stock, i got another shock that the line could not be activated yet. Arrrrrghhhhh... I went to get M1's $88 deal, consisting of a motorola hp and a Mcard cos it could be activated instantly... well, sure there are other options, but after such a long day... could not be really bothered bout the options... haha. Anyway, bearbear if u need a phone without camera function, that is available for ur use...

This blog is getting long, shall blog abt my visit to the keppel bay area on friday and to chinatown on sat again soon.... bye and please take care bear bear dear :)

It's short n wavy at the back. Looks permed but no no, those r my stubbon natural curls. Cool ya? But i gotta style it before i go out everyday. N also wash off the wax aft i return hm at night. :-S
