the Going's Good, but God is Great!

Things I'm thankful for:

1. Exams are finally over!!! (yeap, i'm mighty thankful)

2. Christmas is coming... Yippeee!!!

3. I have the best boyfriend ever...



this is why:
I was shopping with mommy one day and I saw a pair of shoes that I totally loved. It was only going for $25!!! Only they didn't have it in my size... OBVIOUSLY, since people with sized 6 feet always have great taste. So I whined to Jason about it for 20 mins, shaking him from his sleep that night. He finally agreed to go look for that pair in my size with me the next day.

The next day, Jason took me to Orchard Road and told me to go look for that pair of shoes. Well... actually here's how it went:

Jason (almost sitting down on a shoe-trying stool): Ok, go look for that pair of shoes. When you find it, call me and I'll pay.. I'll wait right here. Take your time, honey.
Me (very systematically ignoring him): Ok, we need to split up. You go look over there, I will look over the other side.
Jason: uh, what does it look like?
Me: Silver 3.5inch pumps.
Jason (picking up a weird looking leather wedge): Like this?
Me: No, honey. That's a wedge.
Jason: Ok, I forgot. What's a pump again?
Me: Covered shoes.. like your men's shoes.. but like, in heels.
Jason: Ok, got it.

After running around the shoes section @ Isetan, Wisma looking flustered for about 10 minutes, I was about to fling my heels at Jason when he trotted over to me holding a pair of GETAI sequin shiny silvery slinky heels (but I reminded myself that he was paying for my heels and that noone is perfect). I politely picked up the nearest pair of pumps and told him through gritted teeth, "honey.. that's not right.. THIS IS A PUMP, ok?"

Naturally, I couldn't find my shoes... Naturally, I saw tons of other shoes that I fell in love with immediately... Naturally, they all costed way more than $25. Looking devastated, I told him to forget it and let's just go before I burst into uncontrollable tears. He suggested going to Takashimaya to try our luck.

After walking the walk to Takashimaya from Wisma, Jason got tired and as soon as we entered the Taka department store, he grabbed the nearest pair of shoes that looked remotely like a pump and told me "See? Isn't this pretty? I'll buy this for you and then we'll go home, ok?" And proceeded to be the best salesman of the year, trying to convince me to abandon my pursuit of the silver pumps.

Lucky for me, he pick up a GUESS silver leather 4inch pumps. And as soon as he saw my eyes lit up, he turned the shoes over the check out the price - $256. "WHAT THE HELL?!! WHY WOULD ANY WOMAN PAY $256 FOR A PAIR OF SHOES?!!! IT'S NOT EVEN VERY NICE." Salesman of the year turned really critical shoe critic at that instant.

We then proceeded to search for my shoes, but of course, the shoes there were more expensive than at Isetan. Disappointed, I led him out of the place lost in my own thoughts, occasionally distracted by some really pretty shoes. When we were at the end of the store, he suddenly turned around and led me back and said "Ok, anything you like that costs below $90, I'll buy for you." I excitedly ran back into the store and picked up pairs of shoes and tried them on, but sadly none are really as pretty as the ones I had in mind.

I told Jason to forget it and that all the shoes below $90 aren't really that pretty. He mumbled a, "boy, you have expensive taste" and then told me that he'll raise the budget to $100. After prancing around another time I was ready to leave that place AGAIN. Before he places another bid, I dragged him out and he said we'll try Paragon.

God bless Paragon! I saw a pair that looked pretty much like the one I wanted! going for only $39.90! After checking out the price, Jason breathed a sigh of relief, but (God bless his manly soul) kept true to his word of the budget and told me to "choose another pair"... So I got 2 pairs of shoes in the end instead of 1!!!

4. I have the best mommy!!!

this is why:

Belated birthday present from mommy: Guess watch - $265
Lunch with mommy @ FishMarket, Parkway: My FAVORITE SUSHI!!!

5. Jason was with me @ zoukout...

this is why:

We all drank in the car on the way to sentosa and everyone was pissed drunk (except of Jason of course, being the responsible boyfriend). Everyone got dispersed and Jason spent the entire night taking care of me and calling all of my friends trying to get everyone together. He was so busy taking care of me that he didn't even get to meet up with his friends in the end!

Most of the time he was just leading me around, asking me if I'm having fun, telling me not to let go of his hand, and of course buying me lots of food and water.

Considering that it was Zoukout and it was really crowded, we didn't really get to meet up with my friends until much later. So it was just the 2 of us + with me being really drunk = totally no fun for Jason. But he kept smiling at me and trying to make me laugh so I wont be bored. At one point, he even pulled out my handphone and snapped pictures of us...

Totally Jason's photography skills @ Camwhoring since I was too drunk:

It's s0 sweet that he does something which he totally hates... just because he knows that I would want to have pictures of that night which was totally no fun, but couldn't have been any better.

6. Our Church's Christmas performance is shaping up really well. (Catch Me, Jason, and our church friends in action @ CK Tangs - outside Orchard MRT, on the 19th of December 2007, 8-9pm!)

7. Violet's exams end this Wednesday.

8. All these blessing from God are upon me!
