The Keys to my Heart

If I am still single, I would date guys who can identify the keys to my heart. Luckily for The Husband, he didn’t have to do it the hard way.

The Keys: Food, Jewelleries and Fireworks.

I *heart* fireworks so much. When The Husband first asked me to be his girlfriend, it was under the New Year’s fireworks at Esplanade. Sweet guy wanted to pop the question at the stroke of midnight. Alas, the fireworks were so beautiful that I told him to not talk until the firework’s over. Till now he complains that he had to wait 26 minutes before I averted my attention to him. And I was tearing, not because of his proposal but because of the fireworks!

It is with very intense presence whenever I watch the fireworks. Emotions engulf me.

Sparkle Thots

To be very truthful, I am a sucker for diamonds. Not that I believe it is a girl’s best friend, but I am in love with the sparkling gleaming look. The Husband gave me a Gabrielle diamond as engagement ring which till today, I can just stare at it throughout the entire bus journey ride of an hour. While I always kid him to give me 1-carat Gabrielle in our anniversaries to come, it seems too much money to invest in a piece of carbon.

Recently, the pearl necklace The Husband gave me decided to go on strike. The pearl came off for the 2nd time! Stashing it away in my bag for repairs, my neck has been feeling kind of empty.

Until I saw Ruth’s Sparkle Thots. I fell in love again. For a person who never like cosmetic jewelleries, Ruth must have done something fantastic to make me buy her creations. Best thing is, she was holding a promotion in the name of Olympics. Free shipping! And so … I got these … (turnaround time was so fast! I ordered on Tuesday and the stuffs were delivered by Thursday of the same week.)

2 necklaces: Memories and Eternity

Surprise free cute hairpin from Ruth =P

Catching up

Yesterday, Ilane and I realized we have not talked to each other for 8 years and the last time it happened was in university.

Are we that old already???

Anyhow, we have each moved on in our own life track. We have grown prettier (I prefer to think so!), now married and Ilane has moved to US to be with her hubby. The last time we talked, we were still struggling with studies, identity etc. Now we talk about fashion, wedding and shopping. Suddenly, I missed my old friends. They are now literally all over the world!

I really should make it a point not to have the habit of catching up only a decade later, especially only when the other person is stationed overseas!

Ilane and I in the same class (1998-1999)

Only 1 from this class is on my MSN. I “see” the rest on Facebook, Friendster or not at all. Gosh.
