SMRT Challenge

Today was SMRT Challenge 2007, SMRT's version of the Amazing Race (infused with quite a bit of their propaganda) which I took part with JD, JH and ZH. Both fortunately and unfortunately, we came in 11th out of the 100 over teams that took part but we fell short of two stamps needed to complete the race.

Nonetheless, I guess everyone had lotsa fun and most importantly I got to be wid JD. Hope he enjoyed himself too.

GV vs Cathay

Before we got together, I used to watch movies with friends at GV cinemas. They have outlets all over SG and along with their phone booking system as well as AXS booking facility, it's extremely convenient.

Then after JD and I started catching movies, we choose Cathay. For one you get to pick seats when buying tickets over the counter. The red coloured special seats (which we always pick) are catered for couples. These two-combined-into-one seats are very spacious and unlike most of GV's couple seats, they don't have a gap in between, so it's easier for us to cuddle.

What's more Cathay opened a new cineplex in AMK Hub, right in the heart of our district. So now there's no reason for us to not catch late night movies whenever JD and I feel like it.

1408

JD has long weekend this week, so yesterday was book-out day. After finishing a meeting with a client at City Hall at about 6pm, I decided to hang around in the area till JD knocks off.

It turned out to be a 4-hour wait. I wasn't really angry at him, just that the wait made my gastric relapsed. And when my medicines didn't seem to alleviate the pain, I had no choice but to have dinner without JD.

Nonetheless, we met a quarter before midnight to catch the movie, 1408. It's based on a short story by Stephen King (one of my fav authors), about a room in the Dolphin Hotel that has witnessed countless bizarre deaths, to the point that the manager decides to take it out of service.

Paranormal debunker, Mike, however, insisted on checking into that forbidden room for one night. That's when the manager's warning says it all: No one lasts for more than an hour in there...

I think horror flicks are pretty exciting to watch once in a while over a Friday night, with JD of course.

Finally it's Sunday

JD's been quite busy with work for the past week. We hardly had much time to meet up. But after a patient wait, Sunday finally arrived. At first both of us had other commitments, but turns out we had the entire day just to ourselves.

For post-birthday, JD decided to get me a set of formal wear in preparation for job interviews to come. Reluctantly, I let him and in the end the bill totalled close to $200. I bickered over the hefty sum but eventually felt very delighted. Because I needed them and they looked real sleek. Thank you JD!

Time usually moves fast when I'm with JD. Today I felt it was exceptionally so, day seemed to turn night in a snap.

Facelift

The previous blog design looks rather gloomy. So it's time for a new look, something bright and fresh.

Waiting #4

I feel JD and I are getting more and more distanced lately. He claims that he is deeply in love but somehow I felt otherwise. He doesn't seem to care about my feelings these days. Or am I too sensitive?

Once again, I'm waiting. Waiting for him to wake up so that we can head off for breakfast together which was suppose to be at 10am. But more than an hour has passed, should I wake him? ... I can't. He slept very late yesterday.

Waiting

This moment marks the 3rd fruitless wait I have in a week. First was for his sms reply, second was for him to knock off and now is for him to sleep. He should know that I'm waiting for him to sleep. All I needed was one "nite" message from him and I'll call him back immediately, just to give him a kiss which I have forgotten to.

I wonder what JD's doing now. He might be still busy with that other guy's email or he forgot to text me. Either way, I've enough waiting. Muck, JD.

My Birthday?

It's a rather lonely way to spend my birthday today. I waited till afternoon for a call from my Dad but by about 5pm I realised that my parents actually had no intentions of celebrating it. I expected the whole family to be heading out for a dinner together. But this year, there was none.

Nonetheless, I knew JD would not forget this day. He would knock off from work and he'd ask me out soon. Then the wait lasted till 9pm when I realised he too was not going to. Two of the closest people around me doesn't seem so close on this day.

ttyl

JD is a very busy person. Much to the point where I might have to wait a few hours to receive an sms reply from him. Waiting is such a torturing thing to make someone do.

All he had to do was to let me know that he's busy at the moment. It takes no more than 5 seconds to type "ttyl" or "busy", both 4 letters each only. But JD would not even spend this amount of time out of 6 hours on me. It's just as good as not having his phone beside him.

Little Hammies

The hamster that JD gave me two months ago has given birth to two extremely adorable little hamsters - a boy and a girl. It's been two weeks since her birth and the baby hamsters can now see, so she's letting them roam about freely. I haven't named them though, shall leave it to JD. For now, they're ah boy and ah girl.
