these were cards from my loves overseas.

I hope the writing cannot be made out because i did not ask permission from my friends to put it up! I loved the messy scrawl of my friend, eunice, and the hastily written post it notes. I found that to be quite endearing.

the sunflower and the back card was from my cousin in the uk. i could hear her voice out loud when i read the card, and it made me smile, because both cards were very unexpected. so to find them in my mail was a bit exciting.

i think receiving cards is one of my most favourite things in the world.

that, and posting cards too.

so in the past few weeks, i had so much fun i forgot to breathe.

lazy lunches, fire crackers, gim-rummy tiles, wine, long lost friends, missing cousins reunited, lots of red packets (i know i know i'm too old for this but YAY), momentary joy at home, and running about all over the city with gloriously empty streets.

it's all going to end soon, and i'm really sad about it.

i also know it's time to shape up and get back to business but i really dont want to

also having increasingly self doubts about a lot of things that i feel that isn't really worth mentioning to anyone because it sounds so trivial and miniscule. things about careers, and family and differing personalities. all very very frustrating.  i don't update that often anymore because i don't want to cause anymore scenes or fights with emotionally blackmailing posts and frankly, when i'm too busy having fun then there is no time to update.

but you know what, at the very least i still have time to upload our photos though.

Sunday night was filled with laughter, surprise, pink roses, the perfect flats and very good company. someone whom i never thought capable of surprise managed to knock me completely off my feet, so thank you very much for that. and the four other people that have become quite regular in my life has completely made my day :O) they got me the perfect pair of flats ^_^ just what i wanted and needed. although my duck pasta after that caused me to become prostrate in my own toilet for six hours -_- stupid duck. i wanted to text may to tell her my poop story but i wouldn't know the outcome of waking her up 3 hours short of her alarm, she might just kill me. so may, if u read this, OMYGOD, I STOMACHACHE UNTIL I NEARLY DIED.

I had a GREAT time on Friday with my cousins and it's been such a long time since we had dinner like that. I met up with beanie again on sunday past midnight when she kidnapped me for a little while to have a heart to heart <3

I had a quiet birthday on Monday with czeeyong after the laughter on sunday. he treated me to a nice japanese dinner and we gorged on teriyaki steak, soft shell crab sushi, curry ramen, and waffle ice cream, among others. and then we disagreed on my present.

i wanted a pair of converses, which he dismissed as a marketing gimmick. (T_T)

he wanted to get me a pair of spectacles, because i have not worn them for a year and a half now.

i threatened to get him a toolbox in return for the glasses. he threatened to hammer me with the hammer in the aforementioned toolbox -_-

and so on and so forth. present hunting will have to wait because we were late to the mall!
