Sweet Surprise/Revenge

Yesterday night JD made time and was able to accompany me for dinner. After a hasty meal at Far East, he rushed me to leave the place to go some place special.

At first I thought we were going for desert or ice cream at a nearby restaurant or cafe. I was thinking very hard along the way for any of those places nearby when we finally reached Shaw, then I knew I'm wrong.

But still I'm no where near the answer. Until we reached the top floor and I see a signboard that says "Golden Compass Gala Premier". I hesitated because I never thought JD could get hold of the tix.

Then I was wrong again. Someone came along to hand him a pair of tickets and before long, we were seated in the cinema, waiting for the show to start.

This has got to be the greatest surprise since a long time. And I can't help but feel like it's also his revenge to me for doing the exact same thing to him on his bday.

Btw, I think The Golden Compass is quite cool! And thank you JD!

Prima Poison

I just heard from colleagues that the bakery chain Prima Deli got shutdown after an islandwide food poisoning from their choc cakes. To think of it, I bought choc and fruit cakes from them just a couple days ago for JD and myself.

Thankfully, both of us remain unscathed. And I do hope they pull up their socks when their bakeries start running again after NEA lifts the notice.

Over the past couple of months, I realised JD and I watched real lots of movies, hitting a total of 31. (omg, my usual before being with JD is like at most once a month...)

Just To Ourselves

After waking up at about 1pm yesterday (while saving almost $60), we headed off for a short swim where we had the entire pool to ourselves. Hope I'll get the chance to go there again in the near future.

Now I'm off to queue for the Four Leaves durian puffs...

A Night to Reminisce

This morning I'm very early for work, which explains why I've got time to blog now...

I got to be with JD last night and I felt extremely happy and fortunate. I have always missed the nights we had back in campus and yesterday I had the chance to re-savour.

Strained Fatigue

JD said that with his new position, he has more time to spare because he has less ground work to do. The opposite seems to be more true.

Ever since he stepped up, JD seemed to have increasingly more work each day. I can feel his stress level mounting and there's pretty nothing much I can do when I hardly get to see him. Even on weekends, giving him more time to rest seem to have no effect on relieving his stress.

All I can do is to suppress my unhappiness and try my best to tide through this period silently.

Day 2

Today is day 2 at my 2nd full-time job (first is NS). No task has been assigned to me yet so the whole of today was boring. Nonetheless, I learnt something new: office politics is everywhere.

Timely Renewal

Yesterday, the relationship hit an all time low. Everything hasn't been going very well for the past couple of months and all the unresolved problems have coagulated into a malignant tumour. JD's lack of confidence for the relationship was just as discouraging.

But just when I thought the road ahead was bleak, he made me realised that in that absence of confidence lies his magnitude of determination and devotion for the relationship. I put down all my stubbornness that very moment in a bid to renew the relationship.

Bomberman or KD?

I was kinda excited to tell JD about my interview today in detail. I wanted him to share my joy. But seconds into the phone conversation, I hear loud laughing and game sounds FX. I realised he was playing Bomberman with his colleagues over wireless PSP and my mood changed immediately.

I got angry because he told me to call him but he seems more concern with his game.

I got angry because he told me he was very tired and wanting to sleep soon, so I rushed through shower and work to call him asap.

I got angry because he insists that he is very good at multi-tasking but in fact his responses become slow when talking to me.

I got angry because this is not the first time.

But nevertheless, I didn't stop him from playing. Instead I decided to vent my anger here then go to bed. JD can play his game for as long as he wants.

1st Job Interview

After slacking for near 3 months since I graduated, it's about time I give up drama serials and long sleeping hours to join the work force. At first, I was rather nervous and sceptical about my job interview today. I have always been doing freelance since I got out of NS, and that did not require me to communicate with employers. Neither do I have to answer to a superior.

Then midway through the interview, I realised it was almost like back in school when I was running for positions in the executive committee. I'd be standing in front of all the members, trying to answer every question that they eagerly post at me. So long you exude confidence in articulation and provide logical responses, you're pretty much over the halfway point.

Once the interview was over, I called JD immediately. And for that few minutes of conversation, I was smiling very happily over the phone.
