The One whom I love
My darling, the most precious of my regard and dearest of my heart. The Little One whom I sleep with and wake to every morning. My little cuddle bug and rat-bag all wrapped in one.
Yes, the One who wakes me up at night sometimes by stepping on my face. The One who has fits of “psychoness” just before bed where he runs and jumps all about the house, leaving his toys all over for me to trip over, all the while being stark naked, no less. The One who at 3amish, steals my warmest spot in the bed (next to the heater), and causes me to awake, freezing cold in about 5-8 degree weather and alone and muttering profanities under my breath on the other side of the bed. The One that never fails to kiss me everyday but ends up literally taking the skin off my face with his tongue and causing me pain.
Despite all this, I’m also talking about the One who never fails to greet me every single day at my door when I come home world weary. The One that waits patiently at the window sill for my car to come through the drive way, the One whom refuses to play with any other but chooses to hop on my bed, smell my PJs and fall asleep on top of them, waiting for me. The One that snuggles up to me every night and we fall asleep together, him on my chest or nestled at my side. The One that frantically paws at the door, and mews so pathetically whenever I shut the toilet door on him when I take a shower. The One whom paws at me to pick him up and give him a cuddle at all times of the day.
Yes, I’m talking about my cat Milo who has a personality that far outweighs most dogs. I’m so in love with him. No denying it. This week, Milo and I have a special guest staying with us – Ann! I love her company, she’s just staying with us for a week.
She told me that yesterday she got home early, and tried to play with Milo. Apparently he refused to play, and ran away. So she decided to follow him. She finally found him on my bed, sniffing and smelling my PJs, and then he sat in them and refused to budge… when I came home I actually found the indent of him embedded in my PJs. Haha Also, he started pacing the window, waiting for my car to pull up in the drive way..
Awww.. I had a heart melt-down last night when she related this to me… we shall not go there.
Oh by the way, my fears for last weekend were unfounded. I did have a quiet, but it was a good weekend. Well, its Thursday mid-day and for me, on the way to an uneventful, quiet and nice, rainy (hopefully) weekend. Well, I have a big test on Saturday, Josh has an exam on Saturday and one on Tuesday that he does have to study for. Damn I love weekends. I have discovered that I do like spending time with myself sometimes and especially living by myself. I actually do love my life here.
(DIDDLYPOP!! JOSH if ur reading this... i love you too) haha.

Reflections
As I sit here, on a Friday afternoon no less, reflecting on the highs and joys of last weekend (no pun intended), the weekend that lies before me seems to stretch out before me like a neverending winding drag. Not that I was so involved in planning of the wedding at all. To me, Joy’s wedding was the crescendo that my world was building up to this year, and now that its passed I feel almost strangely.. empty. A heavy sense of discontentment and restlessness threatens to overwhelm as I look to push past the fog that engulfs my senses.
Now I’ve got the 2nd half of the year to look forward to. Have I achieved any of my goals? That’s something to review. Am I heading in the direction that I want my life to turn out? Am I getting complacent or lazy in any way? Am I getting any less self-motivated?! If so,why? The answer to all these questions is something I am going to have to ponder.
That being said, I am looking forward to the weekend.
And the second half of the year.

Joy's Wedding
This weekend was absolutely gorgeous!! It was JOY N ROB’S WEDDING!!!! I woke up at 7.15am, had a nice, long hot shower, and then Josh came to pick me up and send me to Joy’s by 8am.
We got ready, our make up was done by.. omg.. a Bobbie Brown consultant!! So it was fantastic.. My hair was pretty much done by Tiffany (Thank you so much babe) and got into our dresses. Okay at this point I must confess that I hated my dress. Not the colour (which I think is totally cool), but the layout.. it made my hips look as wide as Nigera Falls. OMG. And, as a singer, I couldn’t really breathe deeply and properly in that dress, so that made singing harder… I hope I did okay. Everyone was real nice about how I looked but that’s still okay.
The tea ceremony was so good. I am so having a tea ceremony!! It was so productive.. I think you get back most of what you spend on the wedding on that ceremony alone.. was fully awesome. Then, I left for the church first (to warm up my voice and rehearse one last time).
The ceremony was.. really good. It was absolutely spectacular, think the groom got abit emotional when he said how much he loved her.. awww it was lovely. At one point I thought Joy’s parents were going to start bawling.. It was such a lovely ceremony. Joy looked so happy.
After the ceremony we had refreshments briefly, and then went all over Adelaide to take bridal photos.. I swear that there has never been so many photos taken of me in one day. And it was freezing cold too! Well it was a gray, cloudy day in winter. But it turned out really well! I now know where the good photography spots are in Adelaide. OMG! On a side note.. And.. if anyone asks me when my turn is coming up again.. I swear.. I will sock him or her!!!! You would not believe how many people came up to me and asked me that!!! UNREAL!!
Then we made our way to Sferas, a silver service restaurant for the wedding reception. YUMMY! The usual things were done.. the bride and groom’s first dance together (awww im so having dancing at my wedding), speeches.. I thought I was almost going to cry.. AWWWW AND, being part of the bridal party rocks – you get served first. But I couldn’t really eat because of my stupid dress blocking my breathing.. so I started drinking.. and drinking..
Haha I shalt not go into details here, but lets just say.. I must have had at least 6-7 glasses of wine/champagne.. and I cant really remember getting into bed. Josh says I was saying random things and they were really funny. He also said that everytime I stumbled to the loo to spew my hands were everywhere for balance and I couldn’t really walk. Well Josh looked after me well (DIDDLYPOP!!) he took me home (I wanted to go out), and then he gave me water and looked after me till about 3am when I fell asleep and he left for home.
Sunday morning I woke with the most awful headache.. serves me right I suppose. I don’t think I will ever do that again.. Oh well, at least now I know I can hold my liqueur well, and that I don’t turn red like an asian normally does when drinking. Josh came over, and I got dressed and showered. Then we went grocery shopping. I came home and he left after helping to haul the bags in. There and then I crashed on the couch.
Hah So! That was my fantabulous weekend.. now Joy n Rob are on their honeymoon. Hah I love my weekends so.. God is so gracious.. it didnt even rain on their wedding day.

Essay: My Weekend
I had one of the most fantastic, relaxing, easy weekends so far this year. Well, most of my weekends are awesome (as you can tell). But this was really good because the past few weeks I have been stressing about my Kaplan Exam, starting teacher training, keeping my house clean etc. So, let me tell you about it.
On Friday after class I went to the city. Josh had to play for GRIP that night because they were having a combined youth worship service (people from 3 other churches were there and the place was packed out). Then we decided to just head home and cook dinner (YES WE’RE HOMEBODIES!!). So we ended up having dinner at like 11pmish, and just watched a DVD. He had to leave as he was working the next morning, so I just stayed home and slept.
On Saturday I woke up, stuffed around for abit with Milo.. and full cleaned my house man! So much so that I found about 300 bucks some money left on my night stand (think my uncle and aunt left it last month when they were here damnit and I didn’t even thank them!!! Ahhaha that was a nice surprise)
Then went to the city for the Sass and Bide Sale! Jeans were going for 50 bucks!!!! Haha BUT I didn’t find anything I liked and I couldn’t be bothered changing in a room full of women. I guess I’ll have to get them at full price when I actually see something I like (think I’ve slightly changed, pple?!!) haha. OH YEAH speaking of which!! I GOT MY FIRST (platinum visa) CREDIT CARD!! Its not something to be excited about I know, but I guess I really am because that’s like a grown-up thing to have and do. My parents were smart and told me I had to get my own instead of letting them pay for it.
On Sunday I went to church and lunch. Then we went to Kmart to pick afew things for the house (bought cushions instead) (Tip: Kmart - Very handy for a mortgage holder with one income). Then, Josh went to lead his bible study, and I went to Joy’s to help with the wedding programs (only 2 weeks pple.. 2 WEEKS!!), From there I had a touch footy practice, and went home to have a shower. Threw some dinner together, and then went to catch up with a friend for coffee. Got home early, and watched Narnia on TV. Had an early night then..
YAY!! On another note, the Queen’s Birthday long weekend is coming up this weekend!!! I plan to have a day of full relaxation, and just spend it at home not doing anything, or going anywhere. As I mentioned to my mother earlier, this is the first long weekend that I haven’t done anything or been away, as you can see here..
2008 Public Holidays: What I’ve done for them
New Year January 1st: Flew back to Adelaide from Singapore
Australia Day January 28th: Had a BBQ for about 30 pple for Australia Day!
Adelaide Cup Day March 10th: Went Victor Harbour for church camp
Easter March 21st and 24th: Went to Kangaroo Island with Dad
April 25th Anzac Day: Went to Sydney with Clara
Oh yeah baby!!
i love my life.
