one of those conversations...

em: Mmm... I like the smell.
me: Ya. The smell of sunshine.
em: I like the smell of the swimming pool.
me: That's the smell of chlorine.
em: Ya, I like the smell of chlorine.
me: I think you have the makings of a serial killer.

me: Chlorine can break down DNA, you know.
em: You've been watching too much CSI.
me: But... it's true.
em: Ya, I know chlorine can dissolve DNA. I just like the clean smell, you know... chlorine, dettol...
me: This is... disturbing.

We were talking about marriage proposals.

me: It's standard... protocols for a woman to show off the proposal ring... it's very natural, what we have to do.
jac: Ya...
me: Then, those of us who saw it? We got to go, "wahhh~~~". It's also standard. You know, SOP.

em: See, Jac is so happy (after Dharma popped the qn with the diamond ring).
me: Ya... it's like... honeymoon period all over again for them. Melted all over.
em: Will you be like that too?
me: I think you'd better show me the cash. Cash will melt me better than a stone.

me: Don't have to go through all that effort, you know. Just sms me.
em: Message you, "I've transferred."
Dharma: "It's done."
em: Then, you'll marry me?
me: Then, I will check my account first.

overheard this CNY

"You are making me confused."

"How did this one grow so big? Freaking scary..."

"So tiring just looking at them... imagine having one of my own..."

"Cute meh?"

"She's the one slave to control all other slaves."

"There's no problem to be solved. It's just about adapting."

"She's more ready to be a mum than to be a wife."

"Jazz makes me wanna sleep."

"Too much hip-hop and RnB is kinda tiring."

"I just want to buy you something cos I don't know what else, how else to show."

"Maybe now is the time to act my age."

"This CNY is rather quiet."

MPH sale @ Raffles City

Got 4 books at $24 altogether. 1 for sis, 1 for emman, 2 for meself!

Happy!

I'm that kind who gets high and jubilant and feels a profound sense of satisfaction at buying books.

Gucci, Coach, Prada, LV, Burberry's and blahblahblah? They don't impress me much.

One gone, another comes

Last month was a busy month. For the things that should have happened and the things that should not have.

I met Bblics but 3 times. All were with our other friends. We didn't get to catch up, just she and I. But, like she said, we are tested on distance and time. Tested and passed with flying colours, that is.

To be honest, I'm really proud of my best friend and the work that she's doing. Even though the work does take a big part of her away from everything else, especially her time with her family, which I know she really cherishes.

The passage of time has passed such that the longer I know her, the more I think there is, that I don't know about her. Yet, at the same time, the more I feel that our friendship is safe and dependable even when we don't have complete understanding about each other. Or maybe, it's precisely because we do not have complete understanding about each other. Trust and respect are definitely more important than complete understanding where we are concerned.

I guess, it says the same for a lot of my other friends too. Especially at a time when most of them are married or have entered mummyhood. It's getting difficult to see when dependability ends and complacency begins.

In this age of consumerism, just how much time is friendship entitled to consume? Everyone has a different answer. Perhaps, certain things, you know it to be there not because you can feel it. But, because you can still do something about it.

At this point in time, Kyn is back. We missed the 4 of us chatting and catching up together last month.

Just talking. That's our kind of contentment.

one of those conversations...

We were talking about RCIA.

me: If I take the RCIA course, you are gonna be my sponsor?
em: Ya.
me: Ok. How much?

me: So, sponsor doesn't mean you will pay me to attend; it only means you will go with me?
em: Ya, and if for example, you have any questions that you want to ask, and you don't dare to ask, I will ask the priest on your behalf.
me: Ok... Are you sure if there's a question that I won't dare to ask, you will dare to ask on my behalf?
em: ... Um... most of the time.

We went to Bodyworlds @ Singapore Science Centre.

me: 20-30% of our lifespan is determined genetically. So, only 70% is for us to control.
em: Ya, that's why I'm trying very hard to eat healthy and exercise. I'm trying to make that a '71%'.

me: It says, to be a centenarian, we have to have a colourful diet.
dharma: Colourful diet... ok... We have a colourful diet.
me: Ya?
dharma: Ya... M&Ms has a lot of colours.
me: Right, M&Ms... Damn colourful.

me: Regular exercise too.
dharma: Ya, I do regular exercise.
me: Oh, ya?
dharma: I walk over to Emman's table every 15 minutes in the office.
me: Right... with the colourful diet in hand, right...
