blissful week
this week has been good. auditing for a new client at parkview square. really nice building with it's european-roman lookalike exterior and interior. it has a high ceiling wih exquisite carvings and a huge courtyard. was telling SA she can consider taking wedding photos here. the client is really helpful and the job is gonna stretched for 2 weeks. not too rush..but we're trying to pull out by tue since half of the fieldwork is done.
i'm really lucky. been having enuff sleep and shopping for this week. coz the office is within walking distance from bugis junction, we would have our lunch there...and shopping of course! haha...bought a top from GG5. it was on 20% sale! and finally bought my new big puncher. found a really good deal. so sinful rite? enjoying good food and doing lotsa shopping. well, at least i exercise this way. haha..wat a way to console myself!
back to the lucky issue. mayb god is on my side, or i've been saving up lotsa karma. after this job ends next week, apparently i'll be going to audit for another nice client. as compared to hx, i'm so much luckier. she has been hainv a tough time at tuas for the past 2 weeeks and she'll be doing 4 jobs in the coming 4 weeks. hopefully they are small ones. maybe i shouldn't be too happy since it's kinda early. the schedule might change.
if work is not hectic, i should really head to the gym. i've been throwing close to 2 months' subscription fees down the drain. think the last time i went to the gym was 30 dec??!?!? and i'm still not feeling guilty. dearie has been nagging at me. constantly reminding me about my flabby arms and untoned legs. oh ya..and that hamburger around my waist. it might ballon into a ramli burger. so watch it gal!
speaking about him. was really touched that he took some time off work and training to spend vday wif me. we had a nice little sandwich dinner at suntec's cedele though i was craving for samy curry at marina food court. but we decided to go for something light since his competition is this sun. curry is too oily. as we were enjoying our dinner, we were laughing at those ppl queueing outside tony roma's. i know it's mean but the queue was really long. i thought it was mad to wait that long. ya...i know most of us would like to have a nice candle light dinner for vday. but is the waiting really worth it? guess it depends on individuals. for us, we decided to take it easy and have a nice, 'slow' dinner while we catch up on each other's day. he was telling me about how ppl really dressed up for the occasion in nus. vday really does has its own significance, eh? well, i did dress up a bit. wore my new southhaven skirt and ck (read: charles and keith)heels. haha...even sa could infer from my dressing that i'm meeting my bf.
after dinner, he suggested having some nice cool beer at paulaners. however, i was been my grouchy self. u see, the heels were killing me coz i've been walking in them for the whole day. paulaners was full and the only seats available were the outside ones on those high stools which i didn't really want. and it was smoky and hot. on a normal day, i would mind all these. i mean how many times have i been to paulaners. but that was not the nite. i ahd to spoil his nite by complaining, 'it's so smoky and hot and i dun want to sit on the high stools.'
felt guilty about it as we decided to chill at starbucks instead. argghh...it's so rare that he wants to drink beer and i have to ruin it. but all was fine. he wasn't angry. he was making fun of me instead. imitating how grouchy i was earlier. and i apologised. it's the heels man. should have put on the plaster.
somehow, once in a while, jzu like now, when i reminscence about the times we have and things we do or he did, made me appreciate him and this relationship even more. everything is going on really fine and smooth for us. we hardly quarrel. some ppl might think it's weird. mayb we've seen enuff quarrels in our life and when differences arise, we talked things over and reasoned with each other instead of bickering and yelling at each other. we teased each other eg. he calling me fat and me calling him short. of course, not too much negative teasing. we know our limits as they can get hurtful if done excessively. we shared problems and sorrows with each other as well as the fun we have at work/sch or with frenz/colleagues.
i guess i've really grown out of that sad-when-we-dun-meet-each-other stage. and that maybe-he's-looking-at-other-girls stage. we no longer need that constant affirmations of love for each other. trust and respect is the main essence. as long as we have each other's in our hearts, that's all it matters.
and right now, i know he has me in his. that's enuff =)
