Had a nice time out with my dear boyfriend just now...
Met him at noon to catch The Devil Wears Prada.
And boy was the movie good.
I guess it was even more exciting for me cos I'm interested in fashion.
In fact, if I had the financial abilities, I know I'll be a fashion junkie.
Dump me the big names and I can go ga-ga and rattle on for eons.
Like I saw the amazing Chanel tweed overcoat,
Manolo Blahniks and Jimmy Choos (shoes, by the way),
Prada classic handbag,
etc etc etc.
My goodness...
I think I made my boyfriend go nuts,
what with all my screeching when I saw gorgeous clothes on screen that I know I'll never in my life get to wear.
Haha... sorry dear... you had to live with that during the movie.
but yes,
the movie was about integrity and being true to yourself.
the fashion was a by-product.
if you look beyond it's shiny coat of gamour and couture,
the show is quite thought-provoking.
makes me wonder what i'll do if i was in Andy Saks' D&Gs (Dolce and Gabbana. yes. that's how 'Gabbana' is spelt by the way).
Would I give up my dream job and put my career on the line, for my family and friends?
That's a question that I have answered in my previous post so let's just leave it as that.
though the thoughts of Paris, London, DKNY, Gucci and other gorgeous and way-too-expensive clothes and shoes really can be tempting at times.
oh well
then we went to collect our rings after the movie.
oh yes our rings!
haha
how could i have missed that.
i have never gotten rings from anyone who meant something before...
so last night,
i told Tian that i wanted a ring...
that we should get couple rings...
and i pestered.
haha...
thick-skinned i know
but a girl's gotta do what she's gotta do to get what she wants, right?
anyway,
finally chose a pair... simple and nice... not too expensive either...
and we got names engraved on them...
my name on his, and his name on mine.
hopefully, it will serve as a reminder of our love for each other while we're apart and busy with our internships.
now,
this ring i have is precious to me...
because the nature of my job allows for simple accesories,
it will be with me every waking hour of the day...
it is also in part to make up for the fact that we'll be missing our 1-year anniversary together.
which is next friday.
sigh...
anyway,
we headed to Taka cos i needed to get a pair of knee-length skirt for work.
HR said uniform is provided but I should get a pair just in case they dont have my size.
so spent a precious $49 at G2000.
then we had another hour to spare and headed to the coffee club opposite Cineleisure for "high-tea"
haha...
nice snacks and drinks...
and my darling was the happiest cos we got his favourite spot.
to people-watch.
where we can see everyone who walks past,
but not everyone sees or notices us.
haha...
and i was the one who inculcated him with that habit.
i remember a time last year when we just started dating... he scolded me for wanting to just chill at starbucks, people watch and not do anything.
haha...
that was a long time ago...
and aren't you glad you now have such a.... leisurely and relaxing habit?
haha...
ok i'm crapping.
after that,
we went to watch the long-awaited Break-up.
now i finally know why Shawn said i MUST bring Tian to watch the show...
haha...
seriously...
i felt i was connected to Brooke (Aniston) in some way or another.
i could feel everything that she was feeling...
though Vince Vaughn really exaggerated it all and my boyfriend's not exactly THAT bad a prick in the ass,
i really felt something.
and i kept nudging Tian:"eh, sounds like us huh?"
and after the show, i told him:"she said everything that i wanna say to you. did you hear all that?"
hahahaha...
sorry dear...
it's just amazing...
but anyway...
i hope you understood the final moral of the story...
what i saw was - if you don't appreciate and cherish what you have now, you'll never know when it will disappear and you'll regret it for the rest of your life.
but i guess some people can see it in another way... that the few years of separation between them did them good... and at the end of the day, they'll get back together and realise how stupid they were to let each other go in the first place.
had dinner at Thai Express at Paragon after the show
all i can say is that the place is severely short-staffed
and it made our dinner a great deal less enjoyable...
not the best ending to a great date...
but it was still nice...
one of the few times we end a date with a smile and a goodbye kiss...
i hope every date from now on will be as nice and sweet as today's...
i love you dear... alot more than you think...
