I feel like flying. The last few days have been nothing but wonderful.

Monday: Went with kitten to go pick up some stuff from Danny. Met her at TM at about 3, after which we went over to Lycos Asia to pick the stuff up. The AIA building is cool. The lifts are funky, but you have to wait a damn long time. >_<

Dan looked a little stressed, but hey. That’s Dan, doesn’t seem to be able to live without some kinda pressure. =P After we left, went over to kitten’s house to drop stuff off, and I gave her a little stuffed puppy dog. She named it Jack. Hehe. She also gave me one of a pair of stuffed kitties so I’d have something of hers to sleep with (she’s got my jacket). ^_^

Passed each other some comics, then we went back to TM for dinner. Had a quick meal of Long John Silver’s, then went for some ice cream at Swensen’s nearer her place. Sat down, fed each other ice cream (like we always do =P). I’m still marvelling over how we can say the same things at the same time, without really thinking of it. Heh. At about 11p.m. I reluctantly parted company and made my way home. Last bus home again. ^^

Tuesday was my mother’s birthday (as well as Sean’s). For lunch I went to Merchant Court Hotel, Ellenborough Market Café with Mother, grandparents and uncle/aunt. Oof. The food there is excellent. Great spread. AND it’s buffet. Had about 2 massive helpings, then I gave up and sat there with contented belly. Later on, went for a disastrous haircut. *whimper* I’m still a bit traumatised by the whole thing. In the evening we went to the airport to pick up Dad, and also have dinner. Ate at Swensen’s. And had more ice cream.

I’m getting fat. =/

Wednesday, it was my 1 month-anniversary with kitten. I got her some chocolate and a little stuffed kitty that I’ve had for a few years. But what I got her pales in comparison to what she got me. I’m still very blown away by what she did for me… so fantastic was it. All I have to say is thanks so much kitten. I absolutely love what you did.

Then, we wandered around looking for a place to eat lunch. At first we wanted to eat at Seoul Garden, but when we got to Plaza Singapura we discovered… it was gone. Not only that but PS had had a massive makeover. Most of the things we remembered were gone =(

So anyway, we went to go eat at Café Cartel. The staff were friendly, and we both agreed the food was excellent. Their pasta is really quite good. After that, we went to Fort Canning to walk walk and admire the scenery. There was a wedding going on somewhere nearby the pavilion we were at, and we decided to check out Fort Canning Green, seeing as how that’s where the LOTR movie will be. It’s really quite nice =)

We were being eaten up by mosquitoes, so we went off to get a nice cool, refreshing, curiosity rewarding Vanilla Coke at Park Mall. Kitten bought a cute fridge magnet that had (you guessed it) a really cute kitten on it. We sat down at this strange place that charged about 1.80 per glass of soft drink (gag) then we took a bus to the Orchard MRT area. Dropped by Indy’s shop to say hi, chatted a bit, then we went to Wheelock for dinner.

Walked past Big O to see if we could see Belda (but she wasn’t there), then we took about 5-10 minutes walking around, trying to find Nooch. Eventually, we found it. Hidden in a nice little hard to spot secret passage thing. Haha. The ambience there is really cool, though. The bowls of ramen are freaking gigantic too. Too bad drink glasses are puny. Ate our fill, then I went to send her back home. Hee. Reluctantly left her company again, and caught the last bus home again. Haha.

Sigh…. I miss her.

Dos Vidanya (I finally found the correct spelling.)
Neutral Milk Hotel - In The Aeroplane Over The Sea
What a beautiful face
I have found in this place
That is circling all round the sun
What a beautiful dream
That could flash on the screen
In a blink of an eye and be gone from me
Soft and sweet
Let me hold it close and keep it here with me

And one day we will die
And our ashes will fly from the aeroplane over the sea
But for now we are young
Let us lay in the sun
And count every beautiful thing we can see
Love to be
In the arms of all I'm keeping here with me

Anna's ghost all around
Hear her voice as it's rolling and ringing through me
Soft and sweet
How the notes all bend and reach above the trees

Now how I remember you
How I would push my fingers through
Your mouth to make those muscles move
That made your voice so smooth and sweet
And now we keep where we don't know
All secrets sleep in winter clothes
With one you loved so long ago
Now he don't even know his name

What a beautiful face
I have found in this place
That is circling all round the sun
And when we meet on a cloud
I'll be laughing out loud
I'll be laughing with everyone I see
Can't believe how strange it is to be anything at all
