when the sun, moon and stars aligned..
Saturday, July 04, 2009 @ 7:44 pm 4th July is the widely known US Independence Day, but on this day, halfway across the other side of the globe, at the northern tip of NSW, my milkboy finally proposed :):):):):):):) it was a lovely day to begin with, we had made plans to visit Eug's mummy's puppy which she has bought here (to be shipped to SG when he's 3months' old) to take some pics and play w him before he goes back. it was a bright and cloudless day and we travelled almost 120km down south to the dog farm at Murwillumbah. We reached there early and took a walk nearby to take photos of the vast farmland and to the background of the mountains and took heaps of photos! (loved the weather!)    the pine we picked up on the side of the road. What a great prop to use! :P  this is my favourite shot! :P  doesn't he look ADORABLE????   the family photo :Pwe went to Byron Bay after the visit to spend the rest of the day there. Little did I know that the plan has already been set into motion... :):):) we made a visit to the lighthouse for photo opportunities but it was so crowded even though it was mid-day. the view was great nonetheless and the vast Pacific Ocean was simply breathtaking.    The lighthouse kind of reminded me of the white houses in Santorini, Greece, somewhere that I'd like to go with Eug someday :) We drove back to the town centre to have a quick shop and rested our feet at Twisted Sistas cafe with a good cup of Chai Latte each and huge rich slice of raspberry cheesecake. YUMS!!  The place was pretty small and quirky town, with boutiques, cafes and restaurants dotting along each side of the road leading to the beach. There wasn't much else to do and so we thought we'll nest ourselves at the beachside to see the sunset. Everything was perfect. The sun setting in the west end with the moon already high up on the east. Then I thought about something that Eug said when I'd always ask him when will he propose (very unabashedly :P) "when the sun, moon and stars aligned". And I thought "hmm, the sun and moon are both up in the skies now but there's no stars yet. maybe it's not now" We cuddled up till the sky turned dark before we head to the nearby restaurant for fresh grilled catch of the day. and I thought again "hmm, it's getting late i think we should be heading home after dinner. I guess there shouldn't be anything happening..." And Eug suggested taking a stroll along the beach. I didn't want to initially because it was freezing outside with the sea wind but I'd thought why not give ourselves some time before the night really ends? And then I saw the starry skies hanging above our heads and I gaped in awe. We walked to a part of the beach where there was not many people in sight and Eug suddenly hugged me from behind. Just when i was getting drowsy from the food (i almost fell aslp!), he whipped out his iPhone and asked me to play this video.... I cried buckets when I saw how he painstakingly drew every frame of the video of our story and when the words came out at the end, he took out a pink box from his pocket and asked "Will you marry me?" to which I nodded in between my buckets of tears as he slid the ring into my finger. I was speechless, just like how he said he'd make me if he propose. It was so silly when I finished crying but I was happy. Really happy :):):):):) I text-ed everyone on our way home to share the happy news and I couldn't stop starting at the huge bling on my 4th left finger because it has been barren for too long! Now that sparkle will just about brighten up my life everyday from now on :D  P/S: we saw a shooting star on our way home too! God is amazing!! :) Thank you for everything that you've done, I'm so glad and thankful that we're able to spend the rest of our lives together, knowing how much we love each other and how much we meant to one another. I love you darling...  Labels: God, love, proposal, relationships 1 Comments:

6th and counting~~
Wednesday, April 08, 2009 @ 11:21 pm it was a simple yet cosy afternoon spent with the dearest. I guess after been together for so long, simplicity is beauty. no special gifts or fanciful rah-rah because we no longer need to impress each other. it's really the company and quality time that we want from each other.  We decided to go to 3 Monkeys at West End for a nice high tea! the weather was perfect with occasional drizzle. the cafe was crowded with people and it's a pretty hippie place, with ornaments and cultural emblems everywhere. we got each a big mug of chai latte (yums! my current fave :P) and a plate of hot nachos to share. You've heard of coffee art, now let us present Chai Art!!!  Using honey as the sweetener we drew different pictures on our mug of chai :) Love~~~~ Labels: love, relationships 0 Comments: |

simplicity is beauty
Saturday, February 14, 2009 @ 10:43 pm it's our first Valentine's in Brisbane, but we want to do something simple - no dinner at fancy restaurants, no over-priced roses, just the 2 of us and the time spent with each other. he promised good steak over a glass of wine - and i'm really happy to see the man donning the cute apron and putting so much time, effort and love to whip up our simple dinner. :)  Eug, the master chef in the making *lol* Awwww~~~~ *melts* Tadaa!~~Rump steak with home-made teriyaki sauce, grilled corn cob, lebanese cucumber, mixed veg and potatoes You really know that you're very much in love when your man cooks for you :D Happy Valentine's Day!

our date with 小黑 :P
Wednesday, November 05, 2008 @ 7:06 pm Most of you guys should've known by now: WE BOUGHT A CAR!!!!!!!!!!! :D:D:D It's a 2002 black Honda Jazz, hence the name 小黑 :P it's really a good bargain and the story of how we bought him was amazing! Jade and Wally (our church friends) brought us to see the car when we saw it put up on sale online. And when we reached the owner's house, HALLELUJAH! it was Jade's church friend! It was really blessed and must've been God's miracle to get the car because He brought us to one of His people! hehe :D So MB test driven the car and we were really satisfied so we brought home 小黑 the next day!  As I was out at Gold Coast for the entire week, I hadn't had the chance to really sit in it and go for a ride till Friday for cell, it was really amazing at the thought of FREEDOM! We've been really living on the 'goodwill' of our dear friends to fetch us around to places but there's a limit to your thick-skinness rite? So i'm so glad we got a car coz that makes travelling so much easier on weekends and also we don't need to wait for people to send us back at night so it makes it more flexible if we want to leave earlier. :):):) Anyway, we decided to go on a date with 小黑! My friend, Mei, recommended a really good cafe at West End for breakfast so we went!  the gunshop cafe at 53 mollisons street, west end *thumbs up!*There was quite a crowd when we reached at about 10am and a small little queue outside the shop. The website had 'warned' us that there might be a 10-minute wait but they will make sure we dont' go away hungry! We got our seats pretty quick, which is just beside their open kitchen and it's really salivating to see all the yummylicious breakkies being served!!  some 'narcissistic' shot of meself before our food come :P MB being cheeky *pinch face* I love M.I.L.K!!Before long, our much-awaited breakie arrived!!! *salivate*  strawberry stuffed french toast | vanilla ricotta | hazelnut crumble | berry coulis double smoked bacon | poached eggs | tomato | herbed hollandaise | toasted turkish ABSOLUTELY DELISH!!! *lip smacking* Our coffee was wonderful as well! It was really great having nice brunch, in a cosy but busy cafe and with my love! We agreed to have a official date outing on every 1st weekend of the month! More food hunting! :)After the satiated meal, we adjourned to Chermside Shopping centre up north and it was HUUUGE! We only walked half the shops after 2.5hours and my legs couldn't take it anymore! :S But we'll definitely go back again to check out the half of the mall! heh Love us+time! *bliss* Labels: love, relationships, 小黑 1 Comments:wah the strawberry stuffed french toast looks awesomeeeee.

MB Fried Rice
Monday, October 20, 2008 @ 5:20 pm  This is the fried rice my ah boy cooked this evening for his dinner at home. Alone. :/Anyway, my boy is very cute. He has been trying to perfect his fried rice so we've tried a couple of times using leftover rice I cook for dinner. And today he finally did it! :) But too bad I wasn't able to taste it 1st hand. It's like you miss the 1st step your baby take or the 1st word he said. :/ Anyway, he said he'll cook for me again when i'm back home. Loved! :D Labels: love, relationships 0 Comments: |

So far...
Saturday, September 13, 2008 @ 11:12 am It has been 3 weeks since my first day of work and so far things are pretty smooth except for some minor bumps here and there. But overall, I'm quite happy of the job I'm doing, the people I'm meeting and got to know better everyday, the work environment and of course the 'legitimate' slack hours during the day! :P I'd think they have certain expectations from me since I hav 2 years of audit experience, which on one hand is flattering (at least i can be considered an 'experienced hire') and on the other, quite stressful to live up to that expectation. But I'm giving myself a couple of months to suss thing out, observe the work culture and attitude in the office and just continue to learn everyday. I'm blessed for this job, for being able to be close to my loved one and yet self-sufficient. This is truly something I've been dreaming about for ages and i'm really living it. Still feel kinda surreal whenever I think about it. Everyday has been routine yet bliss: We wake up together, brush up, make breakfast and walk to work. He will walk me to office, and then catch his ferry to school. After school, he takes a ferry back to my office and we walk home together again. There are so many chances to catch up with each other and we will discuss what to eat for dinner, what dvds to watch. There are of course, minor arguments initially, but I'm trying to learn and adapt and bear with the little things that might just irritate me somehow. I guess it's a very good experience to see how it'll be like when we eventually get married. Some pals asked me why we didn't ROM before we come over, I said we didn't want to do that for the sake of doing. The whole meaning of the union will not be there anymore. We'll just enjoy each other's company, learn to accomodate each other and make it all worthwhile while we're here. He's been progressing really well at his course and his prof is quite impressed with him. *thank God* I'm glad and proud that I made this choice to be with the man I love and give him support with my company. It will definitely be wonderful memories to keep in future. :) Labels: God, life, love, relationships, work 0 Comments: |

the king and queen went out on Sunday :)
Monday, May 12, 2008 @ 10:37 am Haven woke up so early to meet MB for sooo long!! I missed him!! We haven meet up at all for 1 whole week! Loads of stuff happend over the week so I din manage to see my dearest :/ But it was so nice to meet him on a bright Sunday morning for brunch at Robertson Quay! We were being adventurous and took a bus from Dhoby Gaut to River Valley and started walking our way (with no clue where we're heading to) to The Quayside for Simply Bread! There were alot of ang mohs around and thankfully it was quite breezy albeit the warm weather.  Breakfast was a-okay, I'd much prefer those that Andrea made for us on Sat :) It was a little pricey though, with the bill coming up to $30+ with 2 breakfast sets and 2 coffee. :/ No more such atas breakfast for me! Unless it's really worth it :P Then we made our way back to PS for movie! Both MB and I were wearing the King and Queen t-shirts! hehehe so cute :P  Love the first pic! Jus so happened that it was a busstop ad for the new BMW and the caption "Principal of Joy' was so apt with the pic of both of us! :P:PLove such Sundays with my dearest! <3<3<3 Labels: love, relationships 0 Comments: |

Happy Birthday darling!!! :*)
Sunday, April 13, 2008 @ 9:18 pm Before I update on my wonderful Japan trip, let me wish my dearest MB a HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! *pompoms* :D:D Having slept at only 2+am this morning, I managed to lug myself out of bed to meet MB and family for his birthday lunch at a restaurant near my office (I'll be going back to work tom!! :/) Then we hung out at City Hall where he FINALLY got my Coach bag *wheeeeees* I also lugged 2 BIG boxes of Gundam toys from Japan for him!! Look at his gleeful face!  MB has to go back to his lab for awhile so I followed him! It was really interesting seeing the place where he has been working for the past few months. He showed me the zebra fishes which he reared for his experiment purpose and the bacteria that he was cultivating. Pretty cool! Reminds me of my bio lab lessons back in sec school :P  Then I treated him to a sumptuous hot seafood platter at Greenwood Fish Market, highly recommended by my couz Tif. It's a huge spread with clams, mussels, oysters, lobster, prawns and calamari! But towards the end, I felt it was quite jelat and almost puked! :/ But the seafood was really fresh and tasty. :)  Check back here for more updates on my Japan trip during the week! :) Back to work =_= Labels: birthday, love, relationships 0 Comments: |

a day to remember...
Saturday, April 05, 2008 @ 11:59 pm I've been eagerly anticipating for this day to arrive because it's our 5th year anniversary and our 'little' engagement with mutual exchange of our promise to each other :) And so days before, I was already preparing for the 'event of the year' and asked MB what are his plans besides dinner at Prive. So he was all hushed up and kept all secretive and refusing to leak out any clues for me. Now I know why...  Little did I know that our cosy gathering of two would turn out to include my dearest girlfriends! I was really, really touched because all of them came to celebrate our anniversary with us! I can only say "oh my gawd!!!!" a million times, and I couldn't contain my emotions and all the surprise I had from them. And there was this:  Awwwww.... :') The masterpiece by the scrapbook junkies, Theresa, Lala and Hoi! And they actually stayed over at Theresa's to rush through it and only slept at 3am! Sooooo 感动!!! They actually went to my Facebook, blog archives to download all our pictures and created the collage. Seriously, it was really really very sweet of them to do that. I'm so blissed :):):) It was really the sweetest thing I can ever imagine happening to me and it did! Earlier on, I was still self-reproaching for leaving our rings at home and forgot to bring it out. Then I prayed to God and ask Him to bless that we will have an enjoyable and unforgettable anniversary together. And He showed me His blessings once again. Amen! Then I presented MB his anniversary present, which I've painstakingly made it over the past 1 month, burning some weekends and a small hole in my pocket for the materials :P  Memories of the wonderful times we had together, for MB to bring it over when he's in Aussie :) I made the cover page like yesterday? :P MB complimented that it's my BEST artpiece so far! But i'm better in Photoshop than papers, scissors and glue!!! After bidding farewell to my wonderful girls, we adjourned to Vivo to spend the idle time in between before dinner at Prive. Been wanting to visit this little island of it's own at Keppel Bay, where luxurious condominiums and yachts overlook the Keppel Marina and the scenery at sunset was really awesome.  Prive owns the entire first level of Marina @ Keppel Bay, which has a al fresco gastrobar, deli bakery cafe and a high class New York style dining restaurant that is concealed from the outside. We had dinner at their atas restaurant, with pricey ocean trout for him and fois gras stuffed chicken breast for me. It was TOO atas that I din dare bring out my camera to take coz it would have been kinda embarrasing :P The food was absolutely delicious, but only go when you have special occassions or spare cash to spend :) Then we stuffed ourselves silly at their bakery cafe, with champagne sourdough, mixed berry milkshake, camomile garden tea and tiramisu. MB is a bread-ish person so he kinda regret NOT eating at the bakery instead. :P  And then we took a stroll round the little island to nurse the bulge at the waist. The place was really really quiet and romantic.Albeit the lights were abit blinding, it was really nice taking in all the night view. Wished I had the monies to buy an apartment at the Caribbean or Reflections :P  It has been 5 years, and everyday has been so blissful, knowing that you will always be with me. I, Nadyne Shu, take you, Eugene, to be my partner, loving what I know of you, and trusting what I do not yet know. I eagerly anticipate the chance to grow together, getting to know the man you will become, and falling in love a little more everyday. I promise to love and cherish you through whatever life may bring us. And the Lord be our witness to this testimony of our love Amen.
