I am sick of living on thin ice and I am sick of YOU. I am sick of you picking on my brother to get to me. Leave him out of this; you are unhappy with me so leave it between US. Not that you would ever be reasonable or understanding on this issue, anyway.

Is it a wonder, then, why I am hardly around these days?

Word of caution: Don't make me break your spirit.

Okay, enough angst for today.

After a harried day at work and enduring a boss who was suffering from Pre-Menstrual Syndrome (whoever heard of the male species encountering such a thing, anyway; it seems to be all the rage amongst men these days), I figured that some form of retail therapy was in order.

I convinced her to meet me and the sweetheart actually agreed! Tee-hee, little did she know that there was a surprise in store for her.

So we, actually it was only I, started shopping. I finally chose to splurge at Charles and Keith since I already had a $40.00 voucher, which was a birthday gift courtesy of Geetha and Jo. Top up a little over $20.00 and I laid a claim on these:

When I was done splurging, I felt hungry and gleefully dragged unsuspecting Fadzilla to the basement of Tampines Mall for dinner.

Then the surprise came...

I got her a brownie with her name on it - I was told she likes brownies, you see.

And after much gossiping and trying to decide on her dinner, she finally realised that dinner was a birthday treat from me. Hohoho!

Seafood Platter for me and Grilled Salmon for her. Ahhh, the portions were so huge, I felt delightfully bloated afterward. After dinner, I opened Aimee's gift to me, received today during my much-belated lunchtime:

Black pumps! Something I'd always fantasised having but never had the guts to buy, so thank you babe! We shall meet in mid-February, yes? I cannot wait to try these out.

So, on a parting note, thank you muchness, Fadzilla, for accommodating to my every whim and, of course, the nice night out. Now, I hope that my surprise was truly a surprise and that you enjoyed the night as much as (if not, more than) I did.

Once again, here's wishing you an advanced 24th Birthday!

PS: I think I shall refrain from picture blogging in future. It is tiring, you know? So I salute everyone who does photo-blogging ever-so frequently.
