I Love To Watch FairyTales Stories Because They Let Me Have Childhood
42nd Day of IAP! Good morning, lovelies (: I am back to blog again ! Haha, how random ! :> First thing, a piece of bad news. I do not have the photos yet , so ya not blogging about Saturday & Sunday. Don't be upset, uh !! Although I met up Boyfriend♥ yesterday, I just didn't happen to go his house. ;D Hehe, loves Boyfriend♥. Well, I just find that time is passing by so slowly. I want time to fly like the wind! (: I am super shag right now. Probably b'coz I am still lack of sleep despite sleeping at 11pm yesterday. Blame Sunday la, took me damn long then I can fully fall asleep! I am so angry! >< Oh dear, just want to sleep ): If only, my pillow & bolster is just beside me right now :< I miss my cosy blankets as well. I have heavy eye bags, sleepy eyes! They are enough to make me literally drained out. Oh gosh, holidays smell so near ! I can't wait, honestly! :x Oh dear, how I wish my life can be like Boyfriend♥. He seemed to be having a good life right now ! :< Unlike me, I feel so shag. Sometimes I do wonder, what if I am a morning person instead of a night person? Well, whatever you are they are definitely the advantages and disadvantages , uh. So therefore, I have to try changing my lifestyle to a morning person or else I can't adapt to Boyfriend♥ He is always so early while I am always so late! Lol, probably last time I used to sleep at wee hours. I can sleep at 5am in the morning watching dramas, playing games, just don't sleep can already. I have such a weird lifestyle :B Okay, let me chat chat about yesterday before I talk about any random rants. :]
Texas Chicken ♥
Wellwell, yesterday after work I treated Boyfriend♥ to Texas Chicken. I really hope he enjoy the meal :) , he happy jiu hao! :D Haha, both of us ate until so bloated. The bill total up to $16.70. Oh my gawd, the food is damn good~ :D Well, Boyfriend♥ ate the 2 pcs chicken whereas I ate the texas supreme! (: Upsized the meal & we enjoy the chicken most. The spicy is burning hot! :< My tongue was like on fireeee, super duper spicy!! I almost exploded. Thankfully, Boyfriend♥ ate that piece for or else I can have a sore throat today!! :< Rawr, !! Haha but the burger was so good. Tender & Soft, not
