I'm a little late, but still, Happy 2016!

I have successfully lost nearly 20kg since mid September last year. This is how I look now~! ^^

Gosh. I'm down with freaking pneumonia T.T

Was running high fever of 39~40 degree C for 5 days regardless of what medicine I take and that was when I realised something is not right.

Good thing is that I can take a long break, okay, just 10 days from work.

Sigh and Yay. 

It has been almost a year since I returned to China. Life has been great over here - I've made new friends, met my current boyfriend and living together in a rented apartment, adopted a pet dog and a rabbit, travelled to more countries and getting a car in a month or two.

Some have asked how I managed to leave everything behind in Singapore and start all over again in China. Well, almost everything found in Singapore can be found in China. And as I grew older (and perhaps wiser), I came to realise that one doesn't need too many friends. A handful of good ones is enough. And this 'handful' of friends of mine have been keeping in touch with me in the past 1 year. This is more than what I can ask for. Furthermore, as I finally ended my tragic relationship with XXX after 4 years, I wanted to move out of Singapore so that I can heal faster in a new environment. I wanted to breathe.

So I left.

The first 3 and half months here were tough. I had no one to talk to, literally no one. I had to hide the fact that my boyfriend broke up with me from my parents because I wanted to be left alone. Anyway, I was pretty much busy with work then. There was just too much translation to do everyday so my brain was sort of drained at the end of each day. All I wanted to do was to rest, read, and sleep.

If I remember correctly, 1.5 months after I left I actually did contact my ex for a patch up. I was emotionally unstable then due to PMS and that was the only time I cried over the break up. (Seriously I must be out of my mind to have asked for a patch up, to think of it now.)

Finally in mid October, a friend of mine, Joseph, who is working in Shanghai, contacted me for a meet up. It was my first time meeting a friend in 3 months. I've know him for 12 years and though we were never really close, it felt great to have met someone I know after 3 months.

It was in late November when my live changed forever. I was talking to Steve one night, telling him how difficult it is for me to meet new friends in China. He casually told me that he heard of a social networking mobile App called Imomo. Coincidentally, I've heard of this App earlier too so I decided to give it a shot.

On the very next day after I'd downloaded this App, I came to know my current boyfriend, Sean. He's the host of a group chat so I applied to enter his group after chatting with him for a while. There in the group I got to know more people whom I've met up with numerous times later on for dinners and group activities. At the same time, Sean and I got closer and closer as we were neighbours staying 2 streets apart. We met up for suppers frequently and eventually on his birthday, he asked me to be his girlfriend.

We rented an apartment nearby and the rest is history =)

Soon we will be celebrating our 8 months together. I've never been happier. Of course we do have ups and downs but I know he really cares for me from the bottom of his heart, unlike my ex. It's the difference between a man and a boy - the level of maturity and the sense of responsibility. And you know what? Ironically, Sean is 4 years younger than my ex.

Life has been kind to me. I've never regretted the choices I've made.

Side story:

I returned to Singapore in March this year for holidays and met up with Jimin, my ex's brother's girlfriend for lunch. She told me that my ex has a new girlfriend since last year and she is someone I know. She turns out to be the China girl who is the friend of my ex's best friend's girlfriend, TD.

TD used to visit my ex's house quite a few times together with my ex's best friend and girlfriend so she has seen me many times.  Not long before our break up, my ex said that due to work issue, TD had to return to China but would be coming back. It was after TD left when my ex mentioned before she left she invited my ex, his best friend and girlfriend for dinner. And the 3 of them went to send her off at the airport. I asked my ex why she invited only the 3 of them though she knew my existence. Anyway, the main point is not about the dinner. The second question is, why he didn't tell me about the dinner and the send off prior to their occurrence. Clearly, he/she wanted to leave me out for some reason.

There was another incident occurred 1-2 days before he asked for the break up which I do not want to talk about here. Anyway, I didn't feel right too back then.

Now, linking up what happened and what Jimin told me, I understood the whole story. I guess I don't have to explain further here.

I must have been blind during those 4 years to have wanted to be with him, considering he had actually been sleeping with a mother of 2 for half a year just before becoming my bf. \0.0/

Photos:

It was Chinese Valentine's Day last Saturday. I said I wanted to take of photo of us wearing our couple rings. He laughed at me saying what's there to take, and then grabbed my hand for me to snap a picture (＞﹏＜)

The best thing is wake up in his arms every morning and greeted by his cute face.

My custom made necklace, with my name. Cheap and nice.

Y^o^Y

Meet my first puppy, Cookie. It's only a few months old.

I highly doubt the owner of our apartment will return our deposit at the end of our stay. Look at what Cookie had done to the sofa! \o.o/

Healthy fruit tea. I need to lose weight. My bf is almost 20kg lighter than me. omg.

Meet ups with friends.

出差回来一进门就有爱心骨头汤喝；下班想吃炒饭就给我做；这些都是我以前做梦都不敢想的。

我家男人说自从跟我住在一起后，他的做饭次数已经超过之前20多年总共的次数了。感觉都被他宠坏了..

男朋友为我煲的骨头汤。我正在慢慢的学着接受南方人的汤。 

我家养的小兔子，名叫小灰灰。不过小灰灰最近感染皮肤病了，我正在极力给他治病。还不确定是否被感染了真菌，要是真菌病的话几乎就是没得救了T.T

不久前我家男人的哥们来苏州玩了一圈。


 和苏州的小伙伴们聚餐。

 他们是一群满给力的朋友。

 然后一起去唱歌。图中是我家男人 (＞﹏＜)

 百吃不厌的烤鱼。我在3周内吃了4次。

 我家男人介绍的东东就是好吃。

 小时候一直很喜欢吃年糕饼，每次都是妈妈或姥姥做给我吃。现在搬出去了，也给我加男人做做吃，味道跟妈妈还有姥姥做的差不多，嘿嘿~ ~(≧▽≦)/~啦啦啦


 搬出来住后厨艺真的进步了不少~~

 不过离当个潮汕媳妇的距离还是有点远 o(╯□╰)o


 我俩的情侣戒指 Y^o^Y

 通过世界上最大的LED屏幕看世界杯，你们有嘛~ 别羡慕哟~~

 公司网站终于搞完了，现在学习这个，希望有一天没工作了还可以当个业余的网站程序员。

最近一直都在和这些代码做朋友。不过我还真挺喜欢这个的~

能天天不厌其烦的摸着我的头发直到我入睡的人大概也只有你了, 谢谢你亲爱的, 有你真好 =)

昨天早上剛從德國回到蘇州，所以晚上因為時差而失眠了。在床上翻來覆去的3個多小時里，我發現原來我家那在熟睡中的男人總是會不經意的轉過身來抱著我，一次又一次的。怪我最近還埋怨說他都不像以前那樣會抱我睡覺了，原來是因為最近都是我先睡著所以我不知道罷了。心裡又是各種感動 >.< 

下週就要和親愛的去新加坡玩了，各種期待與感動呀~~

看圖說話~
