It is nearer to the MRT than i thot! Took me less than 5 min to take a leisurely stroll from the MRT to my new home.. i was very pleased :D And it's all very convenient! There's a hawker centre at the MRT, a bakery, tiny gift shop, 7-11, sushi bar, Mr. Bean, and even the same laundromat as the one near my office that i use! I have all the essentials!
I feel so happy n excited every time i see the building progressing nicely. It's like every day brings me nearer to fulfilling my dream.
Now, there's completely no scaffolding, and all the perimeter walls are up! (No more sneaking into the construction site thou... hee) Even the shelter for the BBQ area is on its way up. I can't wait to move in already! It still feels so unreal...
Actually i wonder whether the workers there recognise this crazy gal who turns up every couple of months and loiters around... and this time armed with a proper camera instead of a phone :P
After that, i went to the Expo for the Home & Design 2007. wah super far man. the last time i went there was for the CFA exam.
Bernard and i had gone for a home expo in Dec 2005, right after we bought our home. nevermind that it was far from completion then, we were so so excited.
Anyway, i just wanted to get a sense of the pricing and perhaps what to expect. Wasn't expecting to find something i like cos i'll prefer to work with someone who is referred by a fren. but it's always good to do our homework, and talk to as many people as necessary to be smart consumers. Bernard has always been the street-smart one between the two of us, so now i've gotta learn to take care of everything!
I talked to 5 IDs in all, i think. that's a lot. wah it's tiring man. but it's interesting to see how different people approach it.
Since i was already on the other end of Singapore, i went to the airport, one of my fave places to go. Just to walk walk and have dinner. it was surprisingly liberating to have dinner on my own.

Hi happen to wander in to your blog and after reading it, I am very emotionally affected. Well it really is sort of very touching and one of the entry you ask this question:
"If you have met "the one" and lost him/her, will you settle for someone else eventually? can you love again, and will that be considered second-best?"
ACtually it isn't hard to answer that, he will alway stand an important place in your heart that is for sure. But then right if let say one day there is another guy who really feels very strongly for you, try all means and ways and still get rejected but never give up on you. Eventually I am sure a gal even with heart of stone would also be melted one day. Then the issue now is would he be the second best ? If he can successfully penetrate through the walls you have put infront of him no matter how many times he faced he still go forward then I must say when you give in and start to love him I am sure he would be equally as best as the one you has lost. You might not think it that way afterall you haven't met that kind of guy yet and you are determined that the one you lost would be forever your love.
So now would you really want to try to let someone enter your life and heal the wounds you have got? If you choose to zi wo feng bi then even if there is another sentimental guy try all ways also won't use right? So I am saying if he really succeed in melting you then I am sure he won't be second best at lease he will stand an equal standing with the one you lost.
I read all your entries and really it is very sad I did shed a few tears when you mention about the flashback of him. Sigh but you are really strong to be able to survive this long I am sure you do have a group of great friends supporting you, plus your family members and his too. Really I think you shoud give yourself another chance at romance. Don give up so easily true love yes come only once but there are times when there are exceptional I believe you will be as happy as that NDP photo you have taken years back one day. What you lost you must find it back cannot be lost forever unless you don want it to be found.
So now the choice is yours how you want to lead your life of cos I can't force you, I can only advise you at the side. Perhaps you don need my advise at all but then I do hope to see you live your life happily. What matter is how you choose to lead your life. There are alot of things I want to say but I scare I will offend you so my meanings might not make any sense at all. The bottom line I want to project is free yourself and let love be free. By restricting yourself like this I believe this is not what he would like to see you in.
Even though he is gone, he knows you will be alone he also don wish to see you like this, I believe he also would like to see you being taken care of. What he can't accomplish perhaps he would like someone else to accomplish for him. Therefore don keep everything to yourself, fate has come once and gone but doesn't mean it won't come a second time. Of cos I not saying any tom dick or harry can just replace him. So you have to see for yourself who is worthy and who are not. I sincerly hope that you can find your happiness one day. :)
Hi Grace, I thought of Bernard today and dropped by to see how you are. Your new home looks beautiful. I'm sure Bernard is smiling in heaven to see how lovely it is now that it's completed. :)
In His love,
Jean
Hi Jean, thanks for checking in on me every now and then. It's comforting to hear from his frens and know that you are thinking of him.
I wish so much that he can be here to see our home...
