MeoW!

I had a great evening with Jem the other day.... we had a nice dinner, slurpped ice cream while walking home and later he drove me to Geylang to have my favourite tau huay...

So as he was driving me home and we were at the stretch just along Bedok Central, I saw from a distance what looked like a plastic bag being tossed about by the zooming cars in the centre of the road. As we neared that bouncing "plastic bag", it suddenly dawned on us that it was a CAT. HOLDING A PLASTIC BOTTLE IN ITS MOUTH.

Wat the...!

So naturally we freaked as it was running back and forth and I screamed and covered my face with the cushion (how typical) and Jem cursed and swerved to avoid hitting the cat and the next thing we know....

*ccRRuncH*

I still had my face in the cushion and Jem was like "I don't see the cat! Its not on the road!"

I was 99.99% certain that the "crunch" sound was us running over the plastic bottle. So I felt quite relieved that we didn't see a flat cat (with a flat plastic bottle) lying on the road.

But Jem was not so easily placated.

He was swinging between the two moods of "I HATE CATS!" and "Am I a murderer dar..?" He finally decided to make a U-Turn back to that same stretch of road just to double check that we didn't leave a dying cat behind. (Mind you... we had travelled quite a distance from the scene of the crime by now)

So we made that U-Turn and I climbed into the back seat so that I could have a clear look out of the right side of the road. Nope. No flat cat. PHEW.

So we continued our journey home, wondering what in the world was a cat doing with a plastic bottle???! This is definately one of those great mysteries of life.

Well, as we were rehashing all the details of what happened... it dawned on us. Could we have a flat cat under our tyres? Jeremy was thinking Garfield with claws hanging on, I was thinking squashed, flat, cat.

The moment Jem stopped the car at my place, we both wordlessly jumped out and crouched by the front wheels to check.

Nope. No Garfield. No flat cat.

Thank You God.

A.W.O.L

Hi hi.. sorry me never update in awhile... ;P

Well that happens when nothing interesting happens in my life.

Just got back from a cold London (no snow dammit! Mebbe got chance in Frankfurt next month..... )

Managed to find *BLEEEEP*'s present! (sorry i need to censor off the name in case he/she is reading this) Was so excited! Literally had to travel halfway round the world to find it! I couldnt find it here in Singapore... looked high and low.. told myself I will try to look for it in London. Honestly.. i cannot believe i found it! so happy.. :)

Wanted to go to Harrods... It was dark and I was really tired by the time i finished my shopping at Oxford Street (by the way Oxford and Bond Street was SO CROWDED! Worse than Orchard Road on a Saturday! Imagine the Raffles Place rush hour and yea its something like that... ;p) But I thought... "heck la! Just chiong!"

So yea i took the train hoping to end up at South Kensington to change to Knightsbridge (that where Harrods is)... but i din know i had to change train at Earl's Court. So I changed train at Earl's Court.. and ended up at some ulu housing part of london. Oops. So I changed train to go back to Earl's Court. So I ended back at Earl's Court and took another train which brought me again to ANOTHER ulu station. It was dark. I was cold. I was all alone. I was hungry AND I was getting scared. Decided to go home. (ALTHOUGH i finally found the right train to Knightsbridge). Nevermind.. there is always next time. :)

So confusing right? London tube is SCARY. (think KTM.. not MRT ;p)

So i came back home to a "depressed" boyfriend. (Note the inverted commas...) He msged me to call him once i touched down... whined and declared "iloveuiloveuiloveu" I was like... WOW.

But alas... its not coz i was away that he was upset. He had a bad case of PMS (Pathetic Man Syndrome) and was upset about work. Practically every sentence ended with the word "sian".

Anyway I will meet him tonight to mollycoddle him. Buy him nice dinner.. listen to him whine.. massage his shoulders.. all in the hopes he will feel better.

Why?

Cause I love you, you idiot.
