You Made My Day

Thanks everyone who went out of their way to wish me a HAPPY BIRTHDAY! It was really sweet and your well-wishes were really appreciated :)))

Pictures some other time; all in all today was a good-bad day and im too tired to blog about it. God's sakes i have eyebags already. Night!

I LOVE THIS LOOK! Want the hair!!! Great layering style and just adore the characteristic quirky green-tights-and-flat combi complementing the heavier upper body frame (Gosh, she has great sense of balance; and seriously it's difficult to achieve asymmetrical balance in outfits yet pull it off with a personal style.) Okay birthday time going to changi village byeee.

To Both of Us

Love is either the mode of becoming which appropriates the other to itself by consuming it, introjecting it into the self until it the self disappears. Or love is the movement of becoming that allows the one and the other to grow. For such love to exist, each one must keep its body autonomous. One must not be the source of the other, nor the other of one. Two lives must embrace and fecundate each other with no preconceived goal or end for either.

Teeth Gritting Frustration

Great day with Deb and Kailin to the MOE Scholarship Networking Session, but several other things fucked up today and Im not in a pleasant mood so Im keeping this one succint.

Deb and I met in the afternoon for lunch at Ikea, and later for supper, which was gewwwd! Reminiscent of old times at the canteen and stealing away to Deb's infamous crazy night walks to some random, yet awesome eatery. Plus all that talking, haha!

Yes i love you very much Photobucket

Her hair's so much longer now! (Personally I liked the crop best.)

Cannot make it married couple, we're just glad we didnt get green tea or carrot juice down each other's fronts.

Met kailin later and went to MOE HQ for the networking session. If you wanna know what happened ask me about it in real life, I'm not going to do any online booboos and will gladly let you know how the whole thing went! Generally I did manage to learn alot more about teaching, at least.

Shopaholic's Dilemma

Sad :(

Glue

I just realised

1) Jiayi and I are working together at Cactus and Pine
2) Gil, Zarifah, Deb, Tingxin and Nisha are working as camp facilitators together
3) The 2A2 boys are all at NS, save for a very heng Kwa Kaixiang
4) The jobless are hanging out every saturday, occasionally with Alphie and Jacq
5) Evan got her dream job and keeps in touch

JC may be over, but A2 is not :)

Bingo

Tell you what, Im just glad nothing screwed up this time. As you can see I tried (with odds of success at 100:1) to get my pictures uploaded again in a bid not to delay this post and to test my non-existent patience. Gosh i seriously need to quit using photobucket; or at least pay more attention because it's a real pain in the ass. Okay, on to VDAY!

Even Valentines' not big enough an excuse not to play soccer; we both kinda agreed on that (actually, I insisted, he sulked. haha!) we met in late in the morning, me later, and played for a short while before ending off early for all the guys to prepare for their once-a-year dates, though i heard not even a twitter about any of the guys' plans. Its just a guy thing. I managed to get some shots post-game.

We were pretty overdressed in comparison to everyone else; i have no idea why isn't Valentines like the day to dress up and stuffs? Maybe it's because we decided not to visit Orchard-- a wise choice I must say, after hearing from Judy today how disgustingly packed it was.

Our train ride commenced the beginning of our date, and more annoyingly, the start of my rapid picture taking. Jingxin was wavering between feeling bemused or annoyed by the end of the day. Maybe he's just confused. haha!

Wahlao cant stand my duck lips here.

We went to Haji as I had earlier proposed but Jingboy was not the least interested in looking at his stuffs so we went to VictoriaJomo, a shop I like. And look i think we look so cute gush gush gush (Jiayi: EWW CANNOT STAND IT)
Photobucket

Jingboy says we look like some peranakan couple getting married in the 60's. We shouldnt have smiled I think, they always don't smile right?
Photobucket
Photobucket

Who's that sexy boy? Hmm I wonder. Cant see the face dang.
Photobucket

Then, out of the blue, we decided to peep over to Arab street and i saw the mosque. Pictures don't show it but it was bloody hot, I was so afraid I'd get armpit patches.

We were slightly amused at first, but soon disgusted to realise how touristy Kampong Unglam has become. Stupid 3 for $10 shops and fake mass produced souvenirs. Urgh. What a waste of the rich cultural heritage for it to deteriorate into Ang Moh Singapore.

HAHAHA. If you ever asked yourself "Ward arh books?", you've come to the right place!
Photobucket

Unable to bear the scorching heat for long in our overdressed attire, we headed to Fish&Co for a nice lunch. It was filled with couples; so much so that Jingboy said it seemed like a matchmaking agency. YES IM SORRY I MADE YOU WALK SO FAR STOP SULKING.
Photobucket

Dont you think he has enviably long eyelashes?

After our yummilicous Fish&Co meal we decided that Vivo's the safest place to go without wasting any time nor extra effort (my feet were getting a little sore as Val predicted). We didn't get much pictures there since it's a shopping mall and photograply isn't allowed in most, if not all shops, but we had a fantastic time anyway :)

Mind blowing kiss, literally.

If this is Vivo, what do you think Orchard would have been?

And lastly, dinner at Foodrepublic because we were both still sated by our humongodongous lunch.

And that concludes, in a pretty short summary, our fantastic Vday. It was a dream date for me, I loved every minute of it, and, more importantly, the person who spent it with me. To say that we were camwhoring that day would be an understatement.

Happy Valentine's Day Everyone!
(And finally, goodnight.)
