At Kailing's and B2's recommendation, I went to try out a Cleo quiz here, and there was this question:
You've come down with a cold from hell and your boy...
(a) Tells you to call him when you’re done coughing up a lung.
(b) Takes you to the doctor, cooks you chicken soup, and nurses you back to health.
(c) Drops off some supplies then hightails it outta there.
Which brings me back to a time nearly 3 years ago when we were still studying for the As and Wei secretly ran over from Siglap, Chloropheniramine and Panadol Remedy in hand. Ah, happy, happy memories.(:

I'm suddenly missing Wei terriblyterriblyterrribly, and I so badly want to go Seah Street Deli for my mac and cheese! Wei promised to bring me there long before the Sunday Times article came out, and omg, it looks so darn freaking good.
But exams are still exams. Accounting, accounting, accounting. Sigh.
On a happier note, happy 29th, sweetheart! I love you much, lobster paws, Jamaican accent, potbelly and all.(:

Sempre e per sempre(:
I'm now waiting for B2's call to discuss our attendance at tmr's cheerleading preview, so I thought I'll post some long over-due photos.
2nd Anniversary Dinner
Wei and I had our 2nd anniversary dinner after my exams, on the 26th of November. We went to Otto Ristorante, a cozy little place situated in Red Dot Traffic Building. The service was good, the staff really there friendly.(: Oh and the food - AWESOME.
First up - slow cook egg and taleggio fondue. (There was actually another appetizer before this, but sadly no pictures. Heh.) Okay the fondue. Oh gosh the fondue. It was rich and creamy and absolute yum. Ah, my kind of food.(:
Oh and you see the brown flakes on top of the egg? Those are truffles. Delish, but freakingly expensive. We only had a total of about 5grams? of truffle shavings throughout the meal.
Next was supposed to be our pasta and risotto, but the chef is such an adorable sweetheart (he's rather short and round, haha), and he gave us complementary freshwater oysters and scallops that simply Melt. In. Your. Mouth. I'm soo not kidding. They're really the BEST scallops I've ever eaten. Oh YUMSTERS. Unfortunately, we only took photos of the oyster. Here you go.
Then came the pasta and risotto. The pasta was really flat and thin, it was like asian fusion. They both had creamy sauce too. Wei commented that the night's dishes seemingly revolve around cream, but that's because he knows of my love for rich food.(:
After that was real good cod fish with, as usual, creamy, awesome, fantabulous sauce. Seriously to die for.
Before dessert, Paulo the maître d' showed us the truffles up close and personal. Apparently truffles have genders. The ones that are closed up like a knob are females, and the ones that are open are males.
And that was close to about a thousand (over a thousand?) dollars sitting on our table. Ha.
Dessert, and theme of the evening.
And of course, creme brulee.(:
Vanilla beans at the bottom! Happy sight, happy sight. Haha! *beams*
Champagne and dessert wine.
Interior of Otto. Nice ambiance.
And that concludes our dinner.(:
L'amore magico sempre e per sempre, my love. Aye, forever and ever <3

Its 2009!
The last day of 2008 saw me in my very first car accident. It wasn't that serious, really, but it was enough to leave me traumatized and shaking. I'm trying to tell myself it all happened in 2008 and it isn't an omen or whatever, but its quite hard to put at the back of my mind.
Anyway, its the start of another year, and I only hope for better things to come.
New years eve at Wei's was not too bad, despite whatever happened. I'm really, really thankful that my two lovely babies were there at the party to hold and comfort me. I LOVE YOU, BABIES!(:
I am also reminded again how big a part Wei is in my life. I doubt I'll ever stop shaking if he wasn't there to dry my tears, to hug and hold and comfort me. I love you, sweetheart, and I'm ever so grateful and thankful for you.
And to the other sweethearts at the party who tried their best to comfort me and withstood my cursing and swearing, thank you thank you thank you. My new years eve was great because of all of you. Thank you.(:
-
Alrighty that's all. I have 3 new year resolutions I intend to keep. 2009 has better be a good one.

To Wei, with ♥
Thank you for being here with me, sweetheart. These 24 months have been a blast, and it just wouldn't be the same without you, standing steadfastly by my side, holding my hand and holding me close, guiding me and looking out for me every step of the way. I really hope that I've given you as much joy as you have given me, my dear, for this love - it is simply incredible and it anchors me in a way I can never possibly imagine. I know this is all getting a tad old, but yer know, sometimes 3 words just don't cut it - they ain't enough. So well that's me, saying Happy 24th, Sweetheart, and I'm so glad to have you, Bestfriend.(:
P/S: I hope you had a great 80minutes today.(: When we're richer we'll do this more often, yes? Haha. Can't wait for the dinner on the 26th! *beams*(:

Coffee ♥
It almost felt like one of those pre-uni and pre-ns days yesterday, when there was no work, no deployments, no bitchy bosses, no projects and assignments and tests to lose sleep over. Leisurely days. Cosy days. Lazy, laaaaaazy days spent at one of our favourite hang-out places by the sea. I sure am looking forward to such days again after exams. C:
Haha! The boy's funny like that. He's adorable. <3

I'm determined to be productive today. I will start on my final Communication Management individual presentation and revise data analysis for Research Methods. I will start immediately, since its already almost 2pm now and I have work at 7pm.
Maybe I should really start thinking about sleeping early too. Hm.

Yesterday afternoon, on all accounts, was a bad afternoon. I possibly gave the worse presentation ever in my entire life, and I had a hard time trying to differentiate my french tenses. On top of that, my feet were aching, because they were stuck in a pair of killer heels the whole day. I swear I'm never ever going to wear those pair of heels again, unless (a) I brought along a change of shoes, or (b) if I'm driving.
Yesterday evening, however, was a totally different story.
First up, dinner at Sourpuss. Yay I like. (:
Wei's camera shy. Haha! He's adorable :D
The amazing Masala Fish and Chips.
Yumsters. And oh. It just got better.
See!
Guess where? Max Brenner's! This is Wei's yummy chocolate + shot of expresso + Irish Cream. Amazing I tell you. You can actually feel the rush vrooom down your throat. Mmmmmm. Oh and we met Jean there too! (:
Souffle! Love the little chocolate balls.
And this.
Thick, warm dark chocolate.
Ah, 'tis happiness in a cup. (: Yay for HugMugs! (:
I know the resolution of the photos is horrid, but I tried my best! I think I should start bringing along my digicam, instead of using my camera phone though. Hee!
Anyway, this basically sums up my whole Friday.
Happy 23rd, my babylove! I'm ever so glad to have you. (:

Would you stay, keep this evening warm?
As soon as I heard your voice, I wanted to reach over the line, over land and ocean and grab you, hold you, touch you. I want to know that it is real, that it is your voice that I hear, that it is you. I know its dumb. It has only been 5 mere days without you. 5 days of not hearing your voice, of not holding your hand. 5 days of not seeing that adorable, earnest baby face that tugs at my heart everytime, making it go thumpity thump thump. 5 days too long.It has not been an entirely good day today, and its times like these that I need you, and miss you even more. I want to find comfort in the familiarity that only you can give. I want to cuddle up and feel all snug and cozy again, like a warm hug.
As always, the extent of just how much I'm missing you came to me as a shock.
Happy 22nd, love. Oh Friday please please please be quick.

Today, B2 and I raided Far East. We spent 6 hours there, and I blew nearly a hundred bucks. Hur. It would be a long long time before I go shopping again. Oh wells. It was fun while it lasted!(:
On a side note, Wei left for Hanoi this morning.): Sigh. This week's gonna be long indeed.

My rainbow skies.
I'm missing you real bad. I know its ridiculous; it has only been a day. I think I'm entirely way way wayy too dependent, but telling myself "No more Wei" just threatens to bring on a massive panic attack. Sigh.
Have I told you? I'm so glad it was you.

Shoes!(:
I've finally bought the pair of office wear aka f-me heels I've been eyeing for quite some time yesterday! And in the process, I acquired for myself yet another pair of heels, courtesy of Wei.(: To top it all up, I thoroughly enjoyed the short-but-great us-time spent together. I swear, a girl can't get any happier than this. *beams* (:(:
On a side note, I am currently shedding like a cobra. So now besides having an uber uber ugly tan line(s), I not only have uglyuglyugly shoulders that makes me appear disease-ridden, but also itchy-like-hell shoulders, prompting constant scratching throughout 2 hour lectures.

Its pouring outside, and there's quite a stiff wind blowing. A lovely day to cuddle up in bed, hide under the covers. A perfect day to think.
It has never strike me so deep that anyone I hold so dear can, and will be gone, one day, someday. Poof. Gone. Vanish, just like that. I wonder what I'll do without them. I wonder what I'll be without Wei by my side, constantly nagging and scolding and chastising me, teasing, laughing with and at me, pampering me and spoiling me rotten. Loving me. I could make a guess, I suppose, but it honestly isn't that hard. I'll most certainly be lost without Wei, without the silly goose of a boy for me to love and tickle and tease and cuddle and love and irritate and smell and hug and binge and quarrel and share my every moment with. And love, always Love. Just for the record, I don't think I've ever loved anyone so deeply before, and vice versa.
So here I am at home, half an hour before I'm scheduled for work, with the rain pelting down and my windows wide open, thanking my lucky stars that you are near me, that you are safe and sound, that I'll get to kiss you and hug you when see you tomorrow night for dinner with people we love, that you're not on any deployment or whatnot overseas in jungles far away or at sea. Those whatnots that are in fact dangerous but made not so, because so many boys have gone through them so many times and turned up safe... save a few. I know I sound selfish and terrible and a horrid girl altogether, but the truth is that life isn't fair, and sometimes it simply scares the shit out of me.

Ain't no love like ice cream and daisies
Happy belated belated belated 20th, sweetheart! Thank you for standing by me all this while, love. You're my rainbow skies, the sunlight through my window, my Shin duck soba. I love you, and God only knows what I'll be without you.(:
On a side note, I received my first pay at Ice Cream Chefs yesterday! *beams*
I want you to know
one thing.
You know how this is:
if I look
at the crystal moon, at the red branch
of the slow autumn at my window,
if I touch
near the fire
the impalpable ash
or the wrinkled body of the log,
everything carries me to you,
as if everything that exists:
aromas, light, metals,
were little boats that sail
toward those isles of yours that wait for me.

Short + Sweet.(:
I had the BEST time yesterday.(: It has been such a long time since I've actually dressed up for a date, haha. Dinner at SourPuss was great. They had food and service down to pat, and the ambiance was just simply lovely. If it wasn't for the play, I really wouldn't mind sitting there, relaxing and just enjoying Wei's company.(:
Ah, the play. Awesome stuff, the play. It was simply so delightful, the storylines and the acting, that I think I was smiling throughout the 2 hours. The balloons, the balloons! Haha! What a nice way to end the gala finals. Thanks for the tickets, John! You've got to buy extra tickets next year again, yes?(:
I'm a happy happy girl.(:
I'm getting so happy typing this and remembering yesterday that I feel like giving my sweetheart a big hug now. Haroww Weiwei! *Huggggggs*:D

Champagne bubbles.
So I've decided to succumb to the lure of chick lit. Bergdorf Blondes (has been around since years ago; there was much, much eyeballing involved in Borders and various libraries) is indeed très très funny. It is beyond. In fact, c'est absolutely brillant, as well as the most light-hearted read I've had in a long time.(:
Went shopping with David today, and bought a darling of a top. Quite possibly the most darling top I have up-to-date.(:
I'm all tired out from tennis with Wei and brothers, so I'm gonna hit the sack now. Bonne nuit.(:
