birthday

It is probably a long, long time since either one of us updated on this blog. Many apologies to our readers from afar for this unprompted hiatus. We have both been rather caught up with our work, personal matters and also trying to spend as much time as possible to be together. Lucky us, God has been rather graceful to us, allowing us to have the luxury to spend time more then what we can ask for.

A little flashback to what has happened, I had a little birthday celebration over the weekend with boyfriend sometime during mid October. Although it would have been even more perfect if I can also spend it with my family as well but boyfriend's thoughtfulness and dedication towards my birthday has not disappoint me at all. His every thought and careful planning has only revealed to me how much he loves me and this relationship we have and I am even more glad to be with him.

For my present, boyfriend has given me the latest 8G iPod nano that allows one to watch video and play games on it. I've been hooked on Heroes since then, watching videos from the tiny little screen, squinting my eyes and subsequently getting a headache from “pursuing” too much of Heroes episodes from my iPod (or better known as Ah-Pod to boyfriend). Then we had a peaceful and quiet dinner at a Japanese restaurant at Hajime.

Perhaps the only unfortunate thing is that I did not manage to take any picture to post on the blog. Nevertheless, I am glad to have spent a memorable birthday with him as his beloved. Also, not forgetting my horrible experience at the airport, I missed my flight and had to buy another ticket to return under the advice of a st*pid officer only to realized from another officer that I need not do that. So i guess that makes it 2 unfortunate incident over my birthday weekend. What luck!

Slight updates...

Sincere apologies for neglecting the blog, but work has been crazy lately. The pressure is slowly intensifying as time passes, is this all life is? - work, more work and more work? hahahaha sometimes i wonder.

My darling's birthday came and went, it was a 'extended' birthday celebration - not really the 'big bang birthday celebration' i was hoping for but I think it went well. Its her first birthday together with me as a couple, and i am loving every moment of it. *Smilez* I love you darling and hope you like the pressie.

It all started with my darling 'forcing' me to give her the present prematurely, then I was again forced to tell her the dinner plans, then abit more forcing here and there (Tired, hehe) and abit of walking in some newly launched shopping malls. As I have said, its abit more like a extended celebration (Everyday for the past weekend has been her day, and my oh my she made full use of that power - hahahaha) I still love you darling.

Updates on the relationship, we are still as lovey dovey as possible and no signs of any decrease in that. I really am happy and am in love with this relationship.

*muakz* Forward we go darling,
Lou Gong....

Long break...

It has been a while since WE last updated our blog, I sincerely apologize especially to my baby lou por zai. It has been a crazy time at work for me - bottomless pile of work to follow-up, back to back meetings, stupid clients, and above all that - the feeling of needing to justify my new position (new pay)

On top of office work, my own personal 'vested interest' is taking up the remainder of my time. Wish me luck that i cash out on it. It will be quite 'lucrative' if you know what i mean hehe.

Now back to the unblogged weeks.

Was in Indonesia doing some training, catching up with some people, developing my network to hopefully something fruitful. I left Indonesia one day before the quake, on september 11th. May god bless those people affected and bring them some relief. *sigh* We are so lucky yet we sometime's complain (anyways that another story for another day)

The weekend after that, i was in my babies hometown. Walked into the door with 2 boxes of mooncakes (nice to see not nice to eat) sorry darling. *muakz*. I had my favourite beef noodle's, and some 'thunder' rice (which doesn't taste too bad *smilez* - acquired taste hehe). Drove my baby to the bus station in which i really really did NOT WANT MY BABY TO LEAVE MY SIDE. *sigh* I a so in love with my darling...

The following weekend, am down in Singapore to help my darling shift into her new place. Didn't do much, just managed the boxes and checklisted everything. The movers did the bulk of the work very professionally i might add (minor hiccups with a lost screw BUT all was good). The room is bigger than her previous room and a much bigger window (Quite nice) BUT no aircond =( hahahahahaha.... anyways all is good and i feel very safe with my baby in this new place. Lets just say that area is well protected - thanks to a very hardy VVVIP.

An update on our relationship. It is developing nicely and we are still so very much in love. I am falling deeper and deeper for my girl day by day.

MY girls big birthday day is coming up, i am cracking my head to do many many nice things for her to make her happy. I just love seeing her smile and happy. *muakz* I really do not know what i have lined up yet darling but i really hope you will like whatever i do and plan.

Forever and ever yours,
Lou Kung Zai

The year so far...

This will be the ramblings of a confused and cluttered mind, I will try to make as much sense as possible in this posts. Many things are happening at the same time and I want to make sure I make the best of it.

The first half of the year 2007

Been a roller coaster ride for me, from a very dark, dim, dodgy start to the year. My life seemingly sucked into the 'dark side'. Financially I was driving myself into the red line, physically i was drinking and smoking, everything else was just a blur. If you ask me, do i regret? my answer will be a NO, I do not regret for the sheer reason that it is the past. I move forward and learn and hopefully become a 'better person' (evolution?)

Career wise, it was stagnating. Business wise was also non-existant. Things did not look good, and I was bordering on insanity trying to THINK MYSELF OUT of the rut i was in. Horrible time horrible, the alcohol, smoke, dark times seem to dull the senses enough for me to survive.

Family wise was alright, just because of the sheer fact that i was never home long enough for people to even notice my changes. All my activities are shrouded behind 'Work purposes'. I leave the house early in the morning, go home in the wee hours of the night. Many times not even showering to sleep as i was just too drunk or too tired or both.

Personally I was alone, too alone. Looking back - it was scary but still worth experiencing. I was down. but never have i experienced a double whammy of being down and continually being sucked into the 'dark side'

Second half of the year

I am glad to say things have taken a turn for the better, if i can plot it on a graph, it will look like a 'bull market' immediately after the depression of the century. Things started picking up after (I am not sure of the exact order) but there are a few key highlights of the year which I am thankful and glad that happened.

First things first, I am very much in love now. I think i found the person i want to spend my life with. (I am not saying this just because she co-owns this blog) but i really feel that WE can work something out. I think of her continuously and want the best for her. *muakz* darling lou por zai.

then I got a promotion and a much needed salary hike, putting me into the 6 figure yearly income bracket. This new fact kept me entertained for a good 5 minutes, after that I started to wonder HOW do i make more. hahahahahaah talk about contentment.

From there, the love of my life convinced me to quit my cigar smoking, else she will do something drastic. I also quite because the cigars made it horrendously dry for me. Anyway.. cigars are not off my hobby list.

Recently my 'vested interest' outside just got paid off, hopefully there is $$ behind the cheque i got. Wish me luck. my first 6 figure cheque and I guess I should be quite comfortable for the year. But again, the novelty of having 6 figures lasted about 10 minutes? Now i am wondering how do I make more and how much more is enough? I want my porsche and ferrari's in my LIFETIME.

Overall things are turning out to be good, need to keep the momentum and strive for bigger better things. It is in 'good times' that we should prepare for 'rainy days'. But how and what? I need to crack this nut soonest possible just to be safe.

Wish me luck, so far so good.

Love you darling lou por, please be my guide, support and chronicler of my life. I really need you to help me out in alot of the areas that will pop up.

Loving you lots,
Still a 25 year old boy trying to make the best of his life.

a weekend with boyfriend

Yay!!!

Boyfriend is going back to KL today. Although I won’t be meeting him in KL but at least I’ll be able to call him to listen to his voice on his cell phone. Otherwise when his cell phone is on roaming, it’s very expensive for him to receive or make any calls. Plus, KL is definitely much safer then Jakarta thousand of times and I feel more comfortable with him there.

Last weekend, boyfriend made a stop in Singapore to visit me before going to Jakarta. While he is here, we went for a watch exhibition, ate lots of nice food and had so much lovey dovey fun together. We had so much lovely time together albeit a little bit of hiccups in between but I guess it’s ok. Since he has already promised not to raised his voice or bully me anymore. So I shall use this post as evidence that he will always talk to me nicely and never make me upset anymore.

Miss boyfriend so much; wish I could hug him right away. *grin*
