I think I'm getting OLD-er.

How do you know when you're getting OLD-er? I suddenly feel that I am.... there are a few incidents.

1) When I used to meet up with my jiemeis, we either got kbox, gossip about old school mates, play mahjong for hours, or look up people's friendsters and laugh at their pictures.

NOW... when I met up with Pam, all we did was talk about serious relationships, money, housing loans, etc. WTF?? Then we met up again the following week and gym'd, not gossiping about old school mates or anything..... ARGH. I'm totally losing my 38-ness.

Next time u all see me, better throw some juicy gossip my way.

2) The little kids I usually meet will play with me and their parents will ask them to call me "jiejie". Now suddenly I'm known as Auntie Brina by children @ church and friend's houses.

3) I used to club and pub every week, and sometimes even everyday. And when no pubs are open during the week, my sis and I would actually be desperate enough to hit some Thai Discos. Most of the times having to take turns to drink-drive home.

NOW... I went to zouk with my boyfriend last week (complaining and nagging the whole time about having to dress up and go to a crowded place when all I wanted to do was sit at home and watch TV) to meet his colleagues. I insisted that I will not step into phuture (young kids place) and I will only go to Velvet. But apparently his colleague opened a bottle and I found a stool so I'm happy just sitting and drinking. I started talking to his aprox. 30 yr old colleague, and he told me he hangs out at Lunar, DblO, MOS, etc. OMG, I used to go to DblO with my cousin (loved the ladies night free flow)... but that was DAMN long ago. Like, she's ACTUALLY a mother now. I'm totally OUT of the clubbing phase. Oh, and we took a cab coz Jason refused to let me drive while I'm drinking (he's becoming UNCLE too nowadays).

4) ULTIMATE: On saturday, I woke up at 12pm, washed up, watched TV for 2 hours then NAPPED till 7pm before going for dinner with my family. While I napped, Jason watched 'Skin Crawlers' on his laptop and did miscelleneous stuff around the house.

What happened to the Saturdays when we were so bogged down with social events like birthdays, BBQs, parties, cycling, etc??? SATURDAY LEH!!! The only day I get off from school and work and church... and I chose to SLEEP.


Apparently, here's what Violet and I do for fun now.

Hit the store and try on lame hats.

We should move to texas and hook some cowboys. HAhaha.

Trannys, Vikings and Weird Pink haired ladies never looked so good.
Our Bondage/BDSM costumes for next Halloween.
We tried to look fierce like some pirates of the carribbean picture but the blue price tags keep swinging to the front.... so Tak-Glam.

Anyway, BACK TO MY POINT of getting old.... and to the fact that my lovely cousin June who brought me clubbing since I was 14 and always hit ladies night with me... is now a mother.

I THINK I REALLY OVER THE HILL LIAO LA!!!! Sigh. At least I have an Uncle-ish boyfriend who doesn't mind me sleeping the weekend away and staying at home watching old DVDs with me.

And at least June jie has a really cute baby that I can play with once in a while.

YANDAO RIGHT??? My first Nephew!!!

Oh, and that night at zouk when jason didn't let me drive... I got totally drunk and on the way home in a cab, we got stopped at a road-block. Imagine if I drove!!!

anyway, PHEW.

Totally outdated post... but I was busy!!!

Jason had to work on valentine's day, but he promised me that he had something planned for that weekend... I have to say, he really did manage to keep it a secret for quite awhile, but soon I found out what it was. A weekend suite @ Siloso resort at sentosa!

It was really sweet coz he was NEVER the romantic sort. He never planned anything. Our anniversaries are most often spent fine (some sort) dining + movie. His idea of a date is renting a dvd and buying chips and watching it in bed together. His idea of a good date is renting a dvd with violent action and spluring on kettle honey dijon chips. So you can imagine my surprise when I found out he had planned this weekend in advance coz he knew that the hotel would be full that weekend... I was more surprised that he didn't ask me for help.

So on saturday he woke up early (5 minutes before me) and said he had to go do something, which totally didn't suit me very well since I thought we had planned that weekend together.

Him: Ok, baby. u go back to sleep. I gotta go do something.
Me: HUH?? I thought we were gonna do something together today.
Him: No, this is just for me. I need to go first. Can you drive down and meet me at the hotel later?
Me: Why? Do you have another girlfriend there?
Him: No LAH, trust me. I gotta go.
Me: WTF. I wanna go also la.
Him: Ok, ok. *Then proceed to walk off and take a cab down without me.

I decided to ignore his weird behavior and go down to the hotel myself, since we paid for it and I don't wanna waste it by staying at home. When I got there, I was totally shocked.


He had decorated the entire room in tea candles and rose petals!!!
This is the door I entered...
Awww.... I'm not exaggerating when I say I totally and entirely melted...
Then he urged me to go up to the 2nd level of the suite to take a look... I ran all the way up and look at what he did to the jaccuzi area as well!
I don't even know what to say!!! I didn't get him a present!!! I was even supposed to bring the wine and I totally forgot.

He just smiled at me and told me to change into my swimsuit and have fun in the jaccuzi. Meanwhile, he brought up the ice bucket and my favorite wine, the Moscato for me to drink in the jaccuzi. The one I forgot to buy.

He planned everything flawlessly, even though I was throwing tantrums the entire day about not being able to go down to the beach early to sun-tan... coz he had to prepare all the stuff... But he just said sorry and told me that we can go the next day.

He was so sweet, he kept asking me if he did it right and if I liked it, coz he had never attempted anything like that before and he wasn't too sure if that's how it's done. I teased him and told him he shouldn't have plucked off all the petals, he should have saved me a rose. Hahaha!

Everything was so perfect because HE did it. I never expected him to do such stuff, because usually when I tell him I like romantic stuffs and like to go nice places, he just ignores me and tells me it's a silly waste of money. Even on valentine's day, he said it was stupid to go out coz we shouldn't celebrate just for the sake of celebrating. He said it should be more special than that.

I now understand what he meant. It's really the thought that counts.. I dont think it could have been as wonderful and romantic if he wasn't there with me... it's WHO i'm with and not where I am or what I have. it's HIM that makes everyday valentine's day.

The greatest gifts that he gives me aren't the shoes he buys or the dinners he takes me to... What I lie awake at night thanking God for is Jason's unlimited patience for my tantrums and my unreasonable demands. What makes me so grateful is simply his love for me and the kind gentle support he gives me when I am down, even though I tend to vent it out on him all the time. Material things may perish, but the lessons I learn from Jason... patience, strength, understanding, love, trust... will follow me all the days of my life. *Thanks, honey!*

And here's the best part of the jaccuzi... the view from the jaccuzi in the day...

And at night.
We stayed in the jaccuzi talking and drinking wine till the sun set... It was one of those moments you know you will just remember forever. I wanted to take more pictures so I can remember that day, but I know that if I stopped to take out my handphone to take pictures, I might miss a split-second of what was going on. So I rather just enjoy the moment with him.

It was the best valentine's day ever; with the best boyfriend ever.

Was gonna upload pictures....

This is a lame post, but since I'm already logged in, I might as well.

Was gonna come home straight to sleep, but I decided to blog first since I've not blogged in a while.

Was gonna upload pictures but internet explorer kept restarting and lagging.

Since Pamela came online and there's noone home to cook for me (maid went to market), i decided to ask her to lunch.

So, no pictures for now. cya!
