last night, after three years or so, doodoo FINALLY told me that he too, loved to eat soft fries. all along, ever since the time we ate macs at tiong bahru plaza before we headed for sentosa 3 years ago, he would give me all the soft fries that's in that red cardboard box labelled with a yellow "M". all because i exclaimed & spoke my mind: "i love soft fries!". immediately, the saga began. he left all the soft fries to me and ate by himself all the hard, crispy (not too sure abt that) ones. when i asked if he liked soft fries too, he never failed to keep really silent because he knew that if he told the truth, and nothing but the truth (of liking soft fries too), a case of "ni rang wo wo rang ni" would happen. meaning, we would give the soft fries to each other and not eat it and the fries will just go across the table from my side to his throughout the entire meal. how thoughtful of him, although i already knew that there was a possibility of him liking the soft fries too. why else would he keep so quiet when asked if he liked soft fries? :X

after 3 years.. when i used words like FINALLY and all, he said that he could only tell me now because i would've already gotten used to eating all the soft fries by myself and not leaving any for him & on the other hand, he would already have gotten used to eating all the "hard" fries alone. how smart! but now i feel like i'm a greedy pig! :(

oh and teehee!:) we both changed our wallets yesterday. i bought doodoo the renoma wallet.. $79 and almost burned a hole in my pocket at that moment but not yet ^-^ mine is the LOOP NYC Bow Wallet from its Transversion series! :) Made of Durable PVC (aka Foil Leather) and comes with a crystallized golden tooth charm zipper pull! Mine's in lilac. i love my new one and i hope he loves his.

doodoo and i chanced upon the Heidi Klum sandals from Birkenstock too (well actually i highlighted it to him) :) in my favourite Gizeh cutting. i can't remember if these cost $595 or $575 at the local Birkenstock boutique because i was blown away by the super sparkly rhinestones that form a loving heart shape on the strap! :) its so sparkley it'll make u wonder if those're diamonds instead:) Plus! its made of Leather! I know they don't look that sparkley in the pic below, that's cos u have to see it for yourself in real life at the store! They have these in gold too, but i think the silver ones look classier :) Apparently, some time ago, i realised that buying birks from various shoe-shops/companies in germany itself is slightly cheaper than getting it from sing (before u add in the shipping costs). maybe its because birkenstocks are made in germany itself? plus - most of the stuff in SG seems to be sold out.

Birkenstock: Heidi Klum: Crystal

i'm glad that he's thought abt getting them for me once he receives his attachment $$, but i am trying to convince myself not to like them anymore because $600 for a pair of shoes (something to step on and walk in) is way too much - whether or not there's anyone who wants to give it to me as a gift. doodoo is right - if it happens to rain, or if i step into a puddle.. then *boohoo* and T_T!!! our hearts would ache for the beautiful sandals! and in my honest opinion, stuff like these should not be kept as a white elephant at home - but yet, these are not weatherproof. the rhinestones would lose their shine if i wore 'em! okay, i think i am just over the moon with the sparkly stuff in a heart shape - cos that's all that i'm attracted to on the shoes (yes i'm so passionate abt these that i had to spend 2 paragraphs writing abt this particular design - but i assure u it is a sheer want and not a definite need) so i will get over this and hunt for my English Garden (White) ones with the Pink Buckle instead. i must stay faithful to them and my dearest doodoo of course.

sometimes i really wonder if its good to live life a day at a time. most of the time, i still worry about my exams before they even start! and i know the reason why - cos i don't study till the last minute. well when it comes to relationships, i feel that futures are like dreams. sometimes, they're almost like fantasies and u don't know if they would ever come true. the point is, since nobody could guarantee a happening, why harp on it? Life is no fairytale.

is it good to have dreams that are possible to realise in 8-10 years down the road? i kinda feel that's too distant, too unreachable (yes, perhaps its only reachable in the mind - if we lie to ourselves too often). 8-10 years is a long time, and what if things don't go as expected? i would be more hurt than ever.

perhaps its best to let things go naturally slow :) papa says slow and steady wins the race!

well if u have The New Paper dated 28th august 2005, u should take a look at Janice Wong's article. I believe she mentioned something about "Singapore is full of scared men". Men who are afraid to commit basically - and their women finding lots of excuses for that - oh, he wants his career to take off first, or he hasn't gotten over a past-relationship.

Well, all i can say is, she made women sound so desperate to get married - in that case, men are not the only one who're scared (women are scared too! - we're afraid we can't find a partner to spend the rest of our cherished life with while the men are afraid of commitment)! Perhaps that article was for the many of us female singaporeans who are left on the shelf. I really wonder why. is it the personal characteristics (eg. weird mannerisms) of those spinsters that have scared the already-scared Singaporean men away? or is that Singaporean women are simply too demanding/complicated on the whole? Or perhaps, the men just simply want wives from vietnam or thailand or china who peel their prawns and scrub their feet and cook their dinners! If this were true, then i'd just have to sadly announce to the whole world that the Singaporean man is no different from the traditional Japanese man when it comes to what they expect of a woman (washing, cooking, feeding her husband, prawn-peeling, feet-scrubbing, child-bearing, house-wiving) - except that the singaporean speaks singlish while the latter speaks jap.

I certainly would not believe that the Singaporean woman/man has lost their edge (although i'm one who doens't cook, wash, and dadada etc.). I just think that, SiNgApOrEaNs are simply TOO PICKY!!! (i'm not exactly sure if men who want housewivey-wives from other parts of the world r being picky because traditionally that's what women were supposed to do but to the modern singaporean gal/woman, they are being picky because hello? how many of us can manage your entire household these days?) nothing wrong with being picky, in fact, it helps us to grab the better deals *kiasuism*, but when people are TOO picky, they end up with nothing but themselves.
