this is christine, my sole companion at work who craves munchini(es) and always shares her stash with me.
valentine's day was a blast. dinner was at aquamarine with a few of my favourite people in the world. although the food was mediocre and the other patrons, as clare observed, appeared as having (a)some sartorial faux pas and/or (b)saved up for the occasion. you can tell, really!
the table was set really nicely with chocolates and flowers, which clare never got to see as a result of bri and i taking them for ourselves and hidding them away because she broke our code of honour by being 30 minutes late. we are really punctual people and do not tolerate tardiness, yeah bri? except this time we forgave readily because clare, brave and selfless as she is, queued at royce to get us both boxes of caramel love.
a gleeful bri, who will be sorely missed when her family migrates to shanghai and will consequently fly over during school vacations instead of coming back here and i will never see her again. our separate lives are like one huge black comedy. but Heading Asia is too cool.
oh and am really getting into this whole stepford wife business. shopped for pots and pans yesterday at tangs and carried my load to the other end of orchard road for a dental appointment and then back to the former to trawl through paragon marketplace and jason's in search of a salt, which i did not find. if that isn't impressive enough, i did it in a black suit with yesterday's temperature my newly purchased roast thermometer registered ~90 degrees fahrenheit still, am undaunted. i am a soldier(!) or, y'know, a stepford wife.
have just finished shopaholic and baby. i got quite bored with it midway; it seemed so trite and used and am quite perturbed that lee adored it. i must have changed more than i thought, seeing how i loved its predecessors. am now just gonna sit like patience on a monument for wacky brendan to awake so we can go for dim sum aw yeah.
