breakfast and because you complained

The morning did not start out well, I was annoyed even before I managed to muster taking a shower. Mornings are not my thing, to put it lightly. I just think people should be reasonable and considerate. Dun think that is too much to ask.

Anyhos, met the frenchies for dinner and drinks. Had Imperiel Treasure for dinner with Nat and moved on to barstop for drinks after with VO and his frens. Dar joined us later but we didnt stay out too late. It was nice to catch up with Nat and as usual loved IT's food. Nat never ceases to make me laff and regale me with her stories. It's amazing how much longer some boys take to mature. But it was a nice time although I must say that I dun enjoy seeing VO as much as I used to. There really isnt much to talk about and his constant need to be one up just annoys me and brings out my caustic side. Also I'm getting tired of belittleling him in front of other people. It is sad when a person just cannot be a fren and constantly needs the attention and adoration of everyone around. Barstop serves good strawberry margarithas tho. It was delish. The mojitos on the other hand, well were not good. VO also introed his new squeeze to us, she's pretty but oh so wrong for him in my opinion. Ah well, such is love I suppose.

It's days like these that I count my blessings and am extremely thankful for dar. Much as I emphasize that we do not have a perfect relationship, ( I dun believe perfection exists in this regard) I do think that I am blissfully happy and that what we have works for us, and that is all that matters really. Happiness is something that really needs to be pursued and when you find it, I believe it is something you have to work at to keep. It evolves just as well as we evolve and I reckon that we also need to have a sense of satisfaction and knowing when it is enough. Simplicity is often a blessing in disguise so I must not complain too much about the incidentals.

This is cloud nine to ground control, come in ground control.

Waiting, have never been really good at that. Well I guess if I were happily occupied that wouldn't be a problem. But no, this kind of waiting is akin to waiting for your hospital test result, or for the dentist to come check what that nagging pain is about. It could very well end in tears. I really hope it doesn't tho.

How did I go from Cloud nine to zero in just a day? argh.

Had dinner with S tonite and it has been at least six months since we have met up. It's looking like a season of old buds and catch-ups. Dinner was nice, we rekindled our shoe-shopping connection but managed to leave with our wallets in tact. Phew. She's in pretty much exactly the same situation as I am at the moment and it is comforting to have someone who understands completely how I am feeling. It's also terribly bizzarre. We had a good chat and many good laughs and I hope I see her again in less than six months! It's so funny how women all over the world can just bond over shoes and men! I seem to be finding shoe-shopping buddies all over the place.


It's not supposed to be this way, I need you I need you, more and more each day

a phone call from afar

Sometimes it just takes the voice and nuttiness of a far away fren to brighten up your day and to put that smile back on ur face.

Thanks for calling, missing your nonsense and your 'kao pei-ing'. What will I do without u.

Another year wiser?

Me and my bday cake


The gang at the Botanical Gardens

Havn't been able to post much cos of the festive season and now can't post at office anymore! So annoying!
Another year has come and gone and we hope I am another year wiser. Had a nice lunch with the gang at Cafe Les Amis at the Botanical gardens. It's really lovely especially when the weather is nice. Did lots of dog watching and it really made me wish I had a pooch of my own. So many cute dogs and some slightly strange ones too. There was the poodle gone wrong that was major strange and terribly hilarious at the same time.

Food was ultra yummy, had the bacon cheeseburger, done medium, was lovely. Tried abit of the chef's burger which was kinda spicy, different but I preferred my cheeseburger. heh. Ambience was lovely to just chill out and relax. Wanted to have a walkabout at the gardens but was rushed for time cos went to meet pink n Boh, but made a mental note to go back there again some time. Hs also agreed that it was really nice and that he wanted to visit another time, so maybe we can meet to jog together there. Was a simple lunch with good food and good company, really had a nice time. Lots of catchin up and good conversations which was really more than I could have asked for.

The tennis pple got me a sweet tennis bag in PINK! Lovely. Can't wait to use it. Now all I need is the racquet to complete the look. ha. Mom and Dad got me a lovely pendant and I was really touched cos it's a cross so maybe it's a sign. All in all, was really happy the entire day and well, maybe growin old on my own isn't that bad if I have frens and family to light the way.
