Bears!
Helloo world! Valentine's Day is over, and I'm glad to announce that I've managed to complete my present for Wei only two days late! Hoho.
Okay I was supposed to give it on Valentine's Day but I couldn't finish it on time, despite sewing late into the night. But anyway, I still have to thank Jun Feng for being so patient and bearing (haha!) with me, teaching me the fine art of bear-making into the wee hours of the morning. YiLing too, for well, being a fellow last-minuter and thus suffering the same consequences as me, and Andrew for lending his room for us to cross stitch and sew in, well into the night.
Lesson learnt: Start sewing projects early!
Alrighty pictures of my very first hand-made bear coming rightup!
The hand-made bear and the cuddly and extremely huggable Valentine Bear sitting together on my bed! By the way, I love my new bedsheets! Pretty pretty!(:
The bear up close. I still think the limbs are a wee bit too long and the bead a tad too small. Hmm.
All together now, with the lovely, pretty box holding my valentine's day presents from Wei.The flowers are absent from the picture, though! Ah wells.
Valentine's day. Valentine's day was spent indulging. We went looking for our favourite foods, and had hokkien mee at Food Republic in Suntec for lunch, and assorted pastries from SwissBake and Delifrance for dinner. The rest of the time was spent at two of our favourite places, Gloria Jean's and East Coast Park, holed up and reclaiming abit of us-time. It was altogether a quiet affair, cosy and dreamy.
I like.(:

Its what you do to me.
I love walks home. Solitary, quiet and leisurely walks along the park connector in beautiful weather, with the breeze in my hair, the sun and the shade of the trees. No traffic, no cars, no hustle and bustle of life, and no hurry to go anywhere. Pure Me-time. As always, walks alone gives me time to think.
Jodi Picoult's books, no matter how sappy they are, are always thought-provoking. Having just finished one of her books (it was The Pact this time), I was still caught up in Chris and Emily's story, and was mulling over the big L - How does it feel like to love someone like that your whole life? Is it possible to love someone that much? Can I possibly love someone that much? - when inevitably my thoughts turned to "Have I ever loved someone that much?", and BAM from there it was a one-way trip down the memory lane.
The first person I thought of was you. Unsurprising, since I was walking down the stretch of park connector I remembered walking with you. A simple act of chasing away those boys. However, it was more than that. It was a moment of truth that shone right through everything else. Perhaps it isn't - no scratch that. I know it isn't, cannot be the same now, Mr Big Guy, but it was the truth then, pure and simple. And for that I thank you.
And then my thoughts turned to growly.
You know the feeling when there are memories you want to remember? You re-enact the whole moment in your mind, wanting to live through it again, but the happiness sort of falls short of expectations and the whole thing becomes anti climatic, because at the back of your mind you know that somewhere along the lines you had a hand in making the moment come through; you hinted and gave clues, you made things easy. You had expectations.
Well I was thinking, remembering my moments with growly. Pure, untainted moments of delight and bliss. The time at the beach when you swung and twirled me round and round you, enclosing us in a circle of love, radius approximately 150cm. When we cha cha-ed and samba-ed and danced silly dances together with the waves. When I fell asleep watching the sun-rise with you. Then there was the time when you cradled me in your arms at the bus stop, tucked my head under your chin and sang Oliver James' Greatest Story Ever Told to me softly. And then there was another time when you came to hall unannounced at nearly midnight, just so that the next day I wouldn't be alone on a relatively early morning train to the airport. I was having cheerleading prac and you didn't know where the dance room was and didn't want to interrupt, so you just sat outside at the bus stop alone in the chilly night, reading a book in the feeble light to pass time, and basically nearly froze your ass off. I didn't know you were coming and I was talking to you on the phone, and I didn't recognise you until you were almost right in front of me, still talking to me on your phone.
Moments to cherish. Thank you for giving me your love, Wei. You're just simply splendid.
You know, I actually hoped that the park connector wouldn't end, so I could just keep on walking and walking, thinking and remembering. I really love solitary walks.Labels: Life's little quirks, Love, Mr BG, Nostalgia, Reads

Greatest Story Ever Told
Alrighty time for some updates! Last Thursday saw the end of exams and stats and marketing. Gosh I hope I don't fail any, especially stats. I don't want to retake! Brrr.
Anyway, Wei and I celebrated our one year on Saturday.(: The darling boy surprised me with a dinner at One-Ninety in Four Seasons.(((((: Okay the dinner wasn't actually a surprise and I knew it was at a hotel cos Rae baby accidentally spilt the beans, but the location, menu and all was a surprise. Our driver was a surprise too! Guess who! John Ang! Hahaha. Thank you so much, dude.(: And yes, it was an amazing night and the food was fabuloso. I ate till I wanted to burst. The service was excellent too.(:
Shall post more about it when I get the pictures from Wei baby! Watch this space.(:
Today. I watched What a Girl Wants on my laptop, and there it was again. The Greatest Story Ever Told. I was brought back to that night at our VS bus stop, when I sat on your lap. You cuddled and held me, singing me this song softly. It was a magical moment, and whenever I hear it now, its almost as if I could feel your arms around me again.
Oliver James - Greatest Story Ever Told
Thank you for this moment
I've gotta say how beautiful you are
Of all the hopes and dreams I could've prayed for
There you are
If I could have one dance forever
I would take you by the hand
Tonight it's you and I together
I'm so glad, I'm your man
And if I lived a thousand years
You know, I never could explain
The way I lost my heart to you
That day.
But if destiny decided
I should look the other way
Then the world would never know
The greatest story ever told
And did I tell you that I love you tonight?
I don't hear the music
When I'm looking in your eyes
But I feel the rhythm of your body
Close to mine.
Its the way we touch that sends me
Its a way we'll always be
Your kiss, your pretty smile you know I'd die for
Oh baby, your all I need.
And if I lived a thousand years
You know, I never could explain
The way I lost my heart to you
That day.
But if destiny decided
I should look the other way
Then the world would never know
The greatest story ever told
And did I tell you that I love you,
Just how much I really need you
Did I tell you that I love you tonight?
(Repeat)

Happy 12th, love!
I had the most beautiful 12 months, because throught it all, you were there, till the end. Thank you for the fun joy laughter, love and trust we created and shared. More importantly, thank you for making this happen. I love you, my baby Stinko!
How sweet it is to be loved by you
How sweet it is to be loved by you
I needed the shelter of someone's arms
There you were
I needed someone to understand my ups and downs
There you were
With sweet love and devotion
Deeply touching my emotion
I want to stop, and thank you baby
I want to stop, and thank you baby
Yes I do
How sweet it is to be loved by you
Feels so fine
How sweet it is to be loved by you
I close my eyes at night
Wonderin' where would I be without you in my life
Everything I did was just a bore
Everywhere I went it seems I'd been there before
But you brighten up for me all of my days
With a love so sweet in so many ways
An' I wanna stop, and thank you, baby
I just wanna stop, and thank you, baby
Oh yes
How sweet it is to be loved by you
Its just like sugar sometimes
How sweet it is to be loved by you
Wo yea
You were better for me than I was for myself
For me, there's you and there ain't nobody else
I wanna stop, thank you, baby
I just wanna stop, and thank you, baby
Oh yes
How sweet it is to be loved by you
How sweet it is to be loved by you
Wo now
How sweet it is to be loved by you
Its like jelly, baby, oh now
How sweet it is to be loved by you
Just like honey to the bee, baby
Yeah now
How sweet it is to be loved by you
(Na na na)

Love is one song sung by two
Its the 17th once again.(:
For always being there for me, for always standing by me, for always loving me, for always understanding me, thank you. Thank you so much. 11 months, sweetheart, and everyday was made all the more beautiful because you were by my side. No one knows me better than you do. I know together we're strong, and we'll brave through this trying period. Once again, thank you for being so understanding. I don't know where I'll be without you. I love you so, boyfriend. I love you so, best friend.
*hugg* (:(:
♥ Cos' whatever comes our way, ah we'll see it through, and you know that's what our love can do.(:Labels: Love

Nothing matters but you my love
And only God above
Could be the one to know exactly how I feel
I could die in your arms right now
Knowing that you somehow
Would take my soul and keep it deep inside your heart
It has been so long, but whenever I listen to this song, I'll always get shivers travelling up and down my spine. Delicious ones, of course.
Oh my love, I need nobody but you too.(:Labels: Love, Nostalgia

Today was like a dream date. Good food, good movie. A great time relaxing(ggg) and a great time shopping. And as always, the best company.
My wrinkled nose grin and Wei's lopsided grin.
It was a good day. See Wei's BIGGG smile.(:
I look retarded, but good food does that to me. It makes me feel all happy and sleepy.
All these belonged to us, as of 10pm.
--
It was the sweetest thing anyone ever did for me, love. I truly enjoyed my spa treat today. Thank you and thank you again, sweetheart. I love you love you love you.((((:
Ah, a day for indulgence indeed.

The Time Traveler's Wife is heartbreaking.
Suddenly, there is this need to know that you're here with me, that you're real and you're here. Suddenly, I'm in denial, in fear of what might not be. And suddenly, I'm missing you terribly, just so terribly.Labels: Love, Reads
