While strolling at NAC some 2 weeks ago, Jason turned and asked me if I liked sharks. I'm the sort of person who'd throw out all possible answers in hope that one of them would be right, so I asked him if he was bringing me to go dive with the sharks at Sentosa for my birthday, but I dismissed the idea without much deliberation.

But on Saturday, due to the nature of the event he had to tell me what to bring, and I kind of guessed it again, holy shit we were going to underwaterr world to dive with sharks! Which I really think is a brilliant idea, we met the instructor Jayne, got changed into diving suits, learnt how to use the oxygen tanks which were soo heavy, strapped weights onto our hips, how to clear our ears, used saliva to coat our goggles, and then we marched into the water where I touched the smooth undersides of our belly ( omg i totally meant the stingray's underside, but this is funny so i shall not correct my error ). But when we dipped our heads underwater, I couldn't get used to the breathing at all, it took immense effort to inhale-exhale and my chest got tight, I tried breathing out with my nose which filled my goggles with water, and after some 15 minutes we decided to postpone the dive.:s I really want to go back though!

In an unchronological manner, I finally met Kenny on Thursday, which was an embarassing night because I lured myself into a trap! ( details best left unmentioned ). We had a nice dinner with Yogi and Christine at KPO, sat at the 'poledancetable', the chair was too tall so I preferred to dine on my feet, but nonetheless I found the place charming.:) 3 hours before I turned 21 Jason took me to the theatre for Bruno, ohdearrr, I was quite frightened to see remotes and champagne bottles stuck between guys asses, not to mention the cockdance, but altogether I enjoyed the movie.

On turning 21:

I woke up to a nagging mother in my room and my brother shouting some nonsense to me, and I told myself, adulthood doesn't really make a difference afterall.

Last night after a birthday dinner at SunwithMoon with the lovely university friends, ( all the good memories at the restaurant! ), we had dessert at Nectarie, where I got delighted by a chunky chocolate drink, Weilin's Bodycream flavor icecream sorbet, and Xuyun's sweetly fragrant Peony Jade tea. I recall my earlier tea fetish which subsided only when I suspected tea to contribute to teeth discoloration. My present was fussed by meddling inqusitive hands; I was the last person to open it; but I was a proud and pleased owner of the the blazer I found within the paper bag. :) Thanks guys!

I've always thought Singapore trains to be relatively clean and safe, not that I have changed by mind, but may I say I was in disbelief to see a rat on the train last night! Xuyun and I held out legs up indignantly, and squeals aside, we could have been cooler and observe the hideous creature in its full glory in its new playground, watch it scurry past the opposite lane then back again, but no, dear Jason kept chanting beside me " I'm going to kill the rat, I'm going to kill the rat, I'm going to kill the rat", and poor me, in a bid to protect my toes and present, fell into panic because clearly his weapon was either bare fists or his frail laptop bag propped upright by nothing but mere sheets of lecture notes. So I chanted back "omg Jason please don't do it omg jason please don't do it, jus sit down" and try repeating that 10 times, the rest of the commuters in muted shock-amusement, I don't know whether I got frightened by the monster or by the brave boy, but it put the stress in me. Finally the boy stood up and there was a loud thud as his laptop bag hit... either the floor or the prey but it scurried away anyway, while the onlookers must have musing whether it could get anymore fanciful. At the end of the day, I found it a great adventure, more so because we had a hero. Reminds me how he put out a fire at my roof garden, heh.

Bye for now!

Over the weekend I watched 2 movies, Public Enemies with Christine Abel Jason and Yipeng. It was a let down! Saturday's Up was flawless with Sam Yogi Luke and Christine, and on Sunday we went for supper with Shyan Cheewei Zhaoying and Seowang at Tongshui, where they tried to rip us off for drinks we never had. On the bonus holiday Monday, Jason and I met Christine and Yogi for tea at Royal Copanhagen and spread the table with delightful things as Asam tea, Apple and Rose jam in tubs, Scones with cream, Bakwell tart Pineapple Upside Down Blueberry cheesecake and Chocolate, salmon wrapped eggs with shrimps. Yogi was so full she felt drugged, which is exactly how I feel now, suffering a thick banana juice intoxication. During tea Jason attempted to impress with card tricks -.-. After Yogi left, we strolled into Burberry until Fawn came, and then Jason and I explored Ion before ending the day with German Potato Cheese and Fatty Weng. I went to bed at 12, feeling excited for my friends who would start school in a few hours, somwhat envious.

I would love to watch UP again!

Dad's been back the past week, last night we had dinner at Sun with Moon, where I thought the foie gras looked like "ai gua" and I nearly missed it. We proceeded to Indochine where my mom became tipsy before the drinks even reached us -.-. So much that my dad swopped seats to sit beside me instead. It's like, drunk moms nag 10x as much, imagine that.

The past 2 days at Burberry was very thrilling, we had a press event at Ion and instore catwalk, where I got drawn to a very good looking brunette, whose mom also looked very pretty. After a long period of boycott, I took my camera out! I kind of miss it. I also tried some pieces on because I'm wondering if I should get something for my birthday, and I'm reallly liking the cashemere shnood and steel colored jacket/coat.

The weekend was spent cycling, arguably my first outing with Jason, as in excursion/adventure, although we could not agree on the definition of an outing so, who knows whether its a first. Whatever. We had alot of fun, or at least I did, peddling and buying enough food to fill his backpack, people watching and giving each other lame high5s, enjoying the Singapore seabreeze. On sunday he came over and with my dad and 3 brothers, there was tennis/basketball ( omg ME BASKETBALL!?) and the weather demanded that Jason and I jump into the pool after an intense sweat session. We laughed like crazy doing things like pool tour and unconventional piggy backs, and catchmeifyoucan.

Tonight's itinary: PUBLIC ENEMIES!
