The start of the week after the term break was superbly eventful. No, it was not because of the two consecutive presentations I had on Mon and Tue. They were the many little snippets of events and happenings that occurred during my outings with Km. I think putting them into a short local story production is not such a bad idea too. That goes to show how animated and crazy they were! I thank God for spicing up our relationship with all these strange happenings! Will always bring about a topic to laugh about forever and ever! hahaha...

Anyway, on Monday, it was the first time kelvin actually forgot to bring his hp despite taking it with him diligently every single day for the past 2 years. We had a pre-arranged appointment to go to Clementi central to make his spectacles and my objective was to help him choose the design. Without any phone, kel chose to meet me at the 'last door, last carriage of the train platform that goes to Clementi at Dhoby Gaut MRT' since he was coming from Farrer Park MRT. We even joked about how romantic it was to have no hp and revert back into the days of pager where there was no sophisticated form of communication and very often, couples then relied on vague information and basic trust for any outings to happen. In addition, we joked that we should try not to use our hp and somehow find each other at a certain location based on first hand interaction via MSN or any other form of temporary communication tool we can find at the moment. You know, playing a little romantic game of hide and seek. hur...
6.40pm was the stipulated time to meet. DG MRT station was a little tricky because it goes to Clementi via two ways-1) to either go by the NEL and change at Outram; or 2) to go to Raffles place and hop onto the line that goes to west.
Rushing down rather late, at about 6.50pm, I asked the attendent which was the way to head to Clementi. She said to take the line that goes to Raffles place. Heeding her advice and choosing option 2, I waited at the platform for about 5-10 minutes for km to appear. There was no sign of him at all. Thinking that he could have most probably be talking about option 1, since he was coming from Farrer Park, I walked quickly to the NEL and planted myself at the 'last door, last carriage' area hoping that he would come and find me there soon. Seconds were like minutes, minutes were like hours, hours were like eternity (really). By 7.40pm, I saw no signs of km still. I panicked myself with thoughts of something bad happening to km on the road while on his way. Then I just hopped onto the train and brought myself to Clementi. I was really exhausted as I had a long day, and yet at the same time I had to wait so freaking long for him to come and along side, I found it so strange that he didn't use the public phone to call me. I mean, u want to be romantic also no need to be so silly right? haha...(it was found out later that he tried calling me on a public phone after waiting excruciatingly long for the indian fella in front of him to finish telling his epic to his grandmamamamama; but to no avail. The line couldn't get through at all despite trying several attempts.In addition, kel walked up and down at both platforms but somehow, we missed each other out! ) Anyway, I took a bet and went to the spectacles shop at Clementi central and sat down there to wait for him. Finally, the phone rang and it was kelvin. Thank God. hur. He probably sensed that it was best for him to go back to his place and get his hp to contact me.
How exasperating. He made his way to the spectacles shop. It was 10pm then. And I was so happy to see him. We were both freaking hungry, tired, hyped, worried, stressed and everything mashed into one. Kelvin was totally not in the mood to make his spectacles but I insisted in doing so. We chose a black rimmed spectacles that made him look charmingly stern( in some ways I suppose). Having subjected to all the mental and physical ordeal, Kelvin insisted that we fed ourselves with some real good food to treat ourselves. We landed ourselves at Holland V's crystal jade and to my surprise, Kel really ordered alot of things compared to usual proportions. And to finally make the best out of all the unfortunate events, we had nydc's Big O for dessert and loads of TLC as extra icing.

Guess the moral of the story -Don't leave home without your hp. Dating Life is really much more complicated nowadays as compared to the kampung days.
PS: I hate DG MRT station so much now.

Today, Kelvin and I won a LCD screen through a lucky draw at our school bash. We didn't even think that we would be going to the bash but somehow we landed up there after some coaxing from Jeremy. We were a little hesitant in going for the bash because at that juncture, the event was about to close in less than 15 minutes time. Somehow, we decided to go for the event and just have a few drinks to chill. The counter person almost forgot to ask me to fill up my particulars for the lucky draw until I caught sight of a bowl of coupon stubs. I asked to participate in it and wrote down our names on separate coupons. When it came to announcing the winner, the host actually skipped 2 names as the 'winners' were nowhere to be found. With a third pick, the host shouted 'And it's....Miss Serene Lim!' It was unbelievable. I didn't even expect to win and what's more to find myself at the party barely even warmed up yet. hahaha! Anyway, it was such an unexpected surprise. I even won myself some gelare vouchers too! And I'm so glad Kel and Jeremy was there to share with me. Kel said that I'm blessed. I think we both are. We plan to sell the LCD screen and get some money from it to put into our holiday fund. So exciting! The rest of the night was spent swooning over hot guy strippers on stage. They were absolutely fucking hot with those rippling muscles and sexy moves. Thanks km for letting me enjoy myself with some other gfs from SMU. heehee. Km's mantra is 'free what, look lor!'. And so I happily feasted my eyes on them.

Long stories, I know. But I must pen them down before memories fade. I thank God for these colourful happenings graced by Him. As such, I believe they have all contributed to strengthening our relationship day by day.
Btw, I helped myself to free strawberry shortcake ice-cream at ben and jerry's as part of their anniversary giveaways. DeliSH and short waiting time=)
Happiness. **
