Seeing that livejournal is being a bitch to me and not properly responding to the buttons command i'll just proceed with this article in bold and underline.
What a great day it was. i had lots of sleep as there were no replacement classes nor video shootings which required my presence. i woke up to what seemed like a normal, average day. However, little did i know, it was about to turn into one of the most memorable to me although it may seem like just an everday event to others.
First of all, i had a visit from one of my favorite aunts, aunty anne, who is currently sleeping over in my room along with a cousin of mine which, for the first time in my 21 years, never knew of each other's existance. Her name was Melissa a.k.a lisa..
next, i had a date with the love of my life, a date which i have looking forward to all week. we met up at her place after she freshened up after work and then proceeded to Gurney plaza. Here's the weird part, we both had lunch before meeting up, but by the time we met up, which by the way was only 5pm, were both hungry to the point of our tummies rumbling. We both agreed that it was too early for dinner so we went on to GSC as planned. Seeing that both of us are outdated with movies, we decided to go for 2 movies. We couldn't do a back-to-back as we needed the break for dinner! So what did we watch? the first one, which surprisingly was rather empty, was Michael Jackson's "This is it". Both Pat and I are fans of Michael, although not hardcore fans, but we both grew up listening and moving to the tunes of the King of Pop. I will not give off the contents of the show, but what i can say is that it was indeed a great lost to all the fans of Michael Jackson as well as those who had already bought the "this is it" concert tickets. Not because it was bad, but because a concert which could have been the concert of the year was cancelled due to Michael's death. The songs featured in the movie such as "man in the mirror", "earth song", "human nature", "billy jean" and "heal the world", to mention a few amongst all, brought back nostalgic memories and feelings to both of us.
Seeing that we were both famished and the next movie that we were going to watch was at 9.45pm, we decided to go straight for dinner. As usual, we couldn't decide where to go in Gurney Plaza for dinner. However, since my sayang was feeling cold, we decided to eat it somewhere outdoors. So where did we decide to head over to? Breeks... Yup! Breeks, the food was not bad, the price is rather reasonable and, well, you get the idea. Sayang had some Dorry fish dish while I had Korean Garlic Chicken Bugolgi and our drinks were iced lemon tea for her and iced strawberry and lemon tea for him. Dinner was good, but the waiter kinda lied to sayang when he said the dish wasn't spicey but sweet and sour. Her dish came out with sliced red chilly as part of the sauce. not spicey my ass. As we both, for some reason, had sweet teeth after dinner, we decided to order ice-cream. i can't really remember the name of the ice-cream which we ordered but there was "mini" in its name as it had two sizes. It was not bad as the serving portion was enough for the both of us to share. The desert was made up of cookie and cream milk shake as the base, 3 scoops of chocolate ice-cream, whip cream and an oreo cookie on top as a finishing touch. Chee Kian (is this how you spell the chicken's name?) came to join us just as our desert was served. He was there with Fu Tong, a friend from college and they were going to watch "Jennifer's body" starring Megan fox. We just talked til kingdom come and by the time we knew it, it was already time for us to pay the bill, and head back over to GSC for our movies.
This time round, sayang and i were watching "the Time Traveler's Wife". A very touching show indeed. So touching that i was pushed to the verge of tears while sayang ended up crying. A great story line and plot combined with great actors, actresses and effects brings about a great movie. i wouldn't mind watching it a second or even a third time and would gladly recommend it to my friends, especially to those who are in love.
We, as in sayang and I, headed over to her place as it was close to her curfew and i, well, let's just say natured called. We then decided to measure all of our height as we felt that i was somehow taller. and indeed, i did grow, by 4cm since high school. i am now about 5 feet 7 inches, sayang is about 5 feet 4 and a half inches and paulina is 5 feet 5 inches.
Paulina went to bed early, while sayang and i were just lying on her bed, or rather, she sat on her bed while i laid my head on her lap, and we just shared our stories about how our days were before we met up. And, just as usual, time flies faster when we are together and it was time for me to go home and for sayang to sleep..
God Bless Michael Jackson, his fam
