私はあなたが大好きです。
+gardens by the bay+

Hello lovelies, it's been too long.

The year went by too quickly and it's been physically, mentally and emotionally taxing. Encountered so many lows this year but so many highs as well and I can't help but be grateful to Him for everything that happened to me because everything happens for a reason. As much as I love to dive into the details, I'll keep that for the annual yearly post.

A couple of Saturdays ago, I had to attend a fairly important admissions fair for work and had to help out the admissions team with the fair. It was my second time attending events with my new workplace and so far, it's been really exhausting but worthwhile.

After I ended work, I met up with my boyfriend and headed out for lunch at Bugis! Because the boyfriend wanted to eat some really good food, we made our way to Seoul Garden over at Bugis. The fun thing about going to buffets with him is that he'll always grill the meat for both of us, granted I am not that gifted yet in the cooking department, so entrusting him with the food sounded like a better idea.

Him staring at the food and thinking "Can we finish this?"

Answer was yes, kinda.

The previous time we went to Seoul Garden, we were at the Jurong Point outlet and the food display there was so much more accessible. However for this outlet, there were basically way too many people grabbing the utensils and food, everyone was in a rush and kept pushing each other. Not to forget that there were plenty of tourists and they seemed to not have any manners whatsoever. Anyhoo, we managed to grab a few plates and went on with our lunch.

After stuffing our faces with food, he was thinking of dropping by to his polytechnic and wanted to show me around, kind of like an admissions tour, just that it isn't. To my surprise, he brought his camera along and gave me his camera to take any shots that I like while we were walking there.

Took downtown towards our next destination - gardens by the bay. I've been there a couple of times, once during the same year it was open to the public, and another time probably around 3 years ago during Christmas Wonderland. My boyfriend hasn't been there before so it was my turn to be the tour guide. We wanted to make it memorable so we purchased tickets to both of the cooled conservatories - cloud forest and flower dome. Through the two times I've been at the gardens, I've never stepped into the conservatories so I was pretty psyched about it because I've seen too many beautiful photos taken there.

I love being goofy with you

I'm a really lucky girl because the moment we stepped into the conservatories, my boyfriend went into photographer mode and started giving me directions on how to pose for photos. Funny me because I instantly got incredibly shy and didn't want to do the shots. I had to shake myself off and got into typical influencer model mode and the rest was history. Apart from directing the shots, he also filmed videos of the plants and scenarios in the conservatories. I was in awe with him filming because the way he uses the functions of his camera is way different from how I do it and I definitely need all the coaching that I can get from him.

Sharing my favourite shots here because I am immensely proud of my boyfriend's work.
