I LOVE YOU!

Or not? A day that ended surprisingly well, considering the circumstances.

God! Can anyone be more unreasonable and annoying than you? Get over yourself already!

Message: Opinion... Meeting someone but not looking forward to it. Gets on our nerves far too often and easily. Foul-mouthed and unnecessarily rude, too. Cancel the meeting or get it over and done with?

Replies from the majority: Cancel it!!!

Replies from the minority: Get it over and done with (if there will not be another one after that).

Verdict: I am going with the minority; simply because it is less cruel and will cause us less guilt. Other than that, I was in favour of that option anyway. I hope I am not making a big mistake, though.

The best thing about being on good terms with everybody is they will look out AND stand up for you, especially if you were not at fault to begin with.

So someone will be turning 21 on Monday, 15th August 2005. Ahhh, yes, 21... The apparent age of freedom. What better way to celebrate a 21st birthday than an advanced one with two birthday gifts no less, one of which was something she had never expected.

Happy Advanced 21st Birthday, Dearest! I hope you liked my gifts, even if they were not on your wishlist. Heh.

What were we up to?

On the eve of Singapore's National Day, four beautiful girls, also known as "Black Cat's Kittens" or, more commonly, "Assomull's Angels", finally met up together after more than half a year. As is the usual case with gal pals who have not met for eons, there was an overflow of gossips, catching up, jokes - both dirty and otherwise and plain loud fun. What better way to usher in Singapore's 40th birthday, no?

You want pictures, I hear? Well, you get pictures - tons of them, since three digicams were put to good use that night!
