Dy's Birthday.
Saturday, March 22, 2008 @ 3:43 AM

To friends who expressed concern for me: Thank you, and I feel much better now.

Anyway, today was my Bro's birthday!

He's turning 14 this year.

Went with Henry to get a present for him. It was good of him to accompany me, though it was only to spend 2 hours with me. Really appreciate his help in giving honest advice and opinions on choosing clothes for guys!

And we went to various shops in Far East. Though it was only a few shops we stepped into, Far East is build like a maze and there are many different kinds of shops anywhere. Geez.

Shopping there is like shopping in a HUGE indoor night market.

You never know what to expect. In a way, when you're casually browsing it's kinda fun, but when you NEED to get something, it just gives you a headache.

For example, a Mens' fashion store could be next to a fruits store which is next to a hair salon. Like wth.

I wish they would classify things into different sections/floors, like Ladies' Fashion, Men's Fashion etc.

After going to 3 shops, I had a slight headache already and I think Henry was actually tired. Haha.

Anyway, he modelled shirts for me and I just gauged them based on my Bro's size.

My bro is turning fat! Haha. -touches wood-

I might get fat in future if I laugh at him.

Anyway, being the kind Da Jie that I am, I actually persevered on despite my headache to choose the best tshirt for him!

He likes Led Zeppelin, ACDC, Dreamtheatre etc.

So I went to a shop selling rock band shirts and I got him an awesome Led Zeppelin one!

Applaud me for being such a cool sister.
Hey, at least I didn't buy him something like a notebook or a pencil-holder okay.



Isn't it nice? Henry chose this!

I vowed to get him the best shirt ever.

Actually, I wanted to buy him a pair of Havaianas too but decided that I might go broke if I did.

So I just went to buy shabu shabu meat and go home for steamboat.

And Henry was so sweet to accompany me for all! Thank you.

Sidetrack: I now discover the joys of an iPod video. Henry's new iPod classic is like, so beautiful! Makes me feel like getting one too.

He let me watch Love Bites on his iPod today and it's just so funny and actually made me laugh even though the screen is like 1/20 the size of my TV screen.

And my TV screen is quite small!

This just proves that you can watch good videos on an iPod too.
Sorry, but I was kinda biased against small screens since I have a small enough TV screen.

I mean, imagine the boring train rides where I have nothing to look at except gaze at the reflection of my clothes and accessories.

IT WILL ALL JUST DISAPPEAR!

-smiles gleefully-

And I'll soon be in joy watching clips on the train/bus even though I may look like an idiot laughing at the funny bits!

I don't mind lah.

Can't believe my iPod is actually like a necessity to me now, I must constantly have music on my train rides otherwise I'll feel so odd.

How can I be so reliant on a pure ELECTRONIC GADGET?

Ahhh all this talk just makes me feel like getting a Classic.

Hmmm.

And this is the cake my Mom bought for him.


Lighted up.

I love chocolate cakes!

Dark chocolate, white chocolate, anything chocolate! Mmmmm.

I think I actually influenced my ex to like chocolate, due to me keep saying that I want to buy chocolate! And he actually bought me a bar of Marks and Spencer white chocolate the other time. While watching me eating it, he was curious and said he wanted to try.

And I said, "Here, have some! It's really good."
He tasted it slowly and carefully. "Okay what. That nice meh?" he said.
I exclaimed very matter-of-factly, "YES. Of course!"

From that day on, he just gradually grew to like white chocolate!
Though he used to hate all kinds of chocs. He even suggested going for a chocolate buffet.

I love it when I influence people with good stuff.

And, I like strawberries too! They look so juicy, fresh and edible even right now.

Give me anything with strawberries and I'll eat it up in front of you, lick my fingers and GRIN at you for not eating it!

Haha.

Okay, thats it. A short entry but I just wanted to conclude this day.

PS: Go watch Lovebites! (Search Youtube) It's just so real and funny! I mean relationships aren't actually perfect, and stuff like these happen in real life too. The way they portray stuff is so adorable.
