About VDay

Right, so about VDay... We managed to get really fresh sashimi from Fassler's Wholesale Fish Market in the morning with my folks before we were supposed to celebrate VDay together. But he had a fever soom after lunch and so VDay plans had to be scraped. We were planning a picnic right??

Well, he had actually decided to pitch a tent in one of the rooms in his house and set it up to look like we were in the forest. Hahaha!! It was really amusing coz I made him spill the beans about the plans and he shared with me how he and his mum were trying to pitch the tent but found out later tt it can't be pitched properly coz it was supposed to be stuck down to the ground. And he picked out ambient music so tt it would sound like we were in the forest. Hahaha!!

No wonder he said it'll be cool, no mosquitoes and got fire also. =)

He also practised playing the guitar and sang a song for me which was really touching and well, I didn't know he could play the guitar you see. And he bought me a ring as my VDay present. A single solitaire.

His fever has not subsided yet coz it's viral fever. He has MC until today. But he seems better now. I hope he really gets well soon. =)

Rushing and Rushing

It is almost recess week now. I have my first quiz for this sem next week and an individual assignment as well as my first draft for FYP to do during the recess break. Everyone is rushing and rushing to complete this and complete that. But amid the chaos, my mates and I have been able to take a CNY break happily and to celebrate dear Crystal's birthday. I think this was the first time we stepped out tgt, just the 4 of us, for a celebration like tt. Really cosy and bloated tummies at the end of the evening.

And although we have quite a bit on our hands, we are taking a breather to plan for our Valentine's Day weekend. I sort of already gave Adam his gift coz it was a watch and I wasn't too sure if it was too big, or too clunky, etc. The guy advised me to bring it back the next day if I want to have it changed so I had to give it to him on the day that I purchased it. I am glad he liked it. He asked me, "What made you think that I wouldn't like it?" Now I wish I had waited till tml to give it to him, like more meaningful right?

But anyway, tml's kind of a family day for the earlier part of the day. We are planning a trip to Fassler Wholesale Fish Market in the morning and then a sashimi lunch with my folks. He even said that we could play mahjong with them in the afternoon. The VDay programme is only supposed to commence in the evening. It's a picnin so I am preparing the food while he picks the location. He knows what I will prepare but I don't know where we are going.

Hints that he has dropped so far:
(1) Bring a light jacket, may become cold
(2) Open area, outdoors, in the east
(3) Don't think will have mosquitoes
(4) He offered to set up a fire to warm the food up if needed, so he can make fire at the place

I am still trying to figure out where is this place. Meanwhile, back to studying for the quiz. I have 1 more lecture to go through. =)

Jobs Dilemma

I feel that I might not want the first job that comes my way. But there is that uncertainty that the better jobs after that won't come my way. Some say I should take up whatever comes first and give it a try. But then again, I feel that I want to wait. It is very frustrating, this whole uncertainty thing.

I don't want to think I will end up like a certain somebody, waiting unrealistically for a better offer to come. I mean, I do recognise that times are bad. I should be thankful for employment. But then again, I have this inner confidence that believe that I will get something better. Is that being unrealistic?

For now, it is just a waiting game. I guess I will have to see how it develops.
