Fruity Tutty

went down to Orchard today.

had a late lunch at Baker's Inn Paragon. the ham-cheese-mushroom pizza on soft puff pastry was so good! the crust was freshly baked puff pastry. filled to the edge with ham, bacon and mushroom bits. sprinkled with a generous dose of herbs and olive oil. it really melts in your mouth!
absolutely divine!!!

followed by 2 slices of cakes. one for Joshua, one for me. exquisite.
one was a lovely chocolate mousse cake with sumatran coffee filling.
one was a dark chocolate covered, brandied cherries filled heart-shaped dome.
accompanied with a glass of iced mocha each. another trip up to heaven.

went to have my hair cut. shorten it by a mere 1.5inchs. haha!
Joshua had his hair cut too. shaved of the sides. sloped the back. spiked the top.
now he looks like young cute army boy. heehee!

went window shopping at Tangs Beauty Hall. (favourite toys department 1)
looked at the new range of Clinique's products.
very tempted to get their pore-refining facial mask, anti-bacterial facial soap and bamboo-essence facial toner that helps soften the skin. moreover is non-alcoholic based! but expensive.
cost about $119 altogether... *ouch*

stop-over 2: Zara. (favourite boutique no. 1)
nothing much to buy. only had 2 tops that i fancied.
missed having Jared around. that fashion guru would pick somethign suitable and elegant for me.

stop-over 3: Topshop (favourite boutique during Junior College days...)
ntohign really nice except MOTO jeans and skirts.
the tops are far too retro in design and motifs. made of flammable materials too.
looks kind cheapo too... very "mee-nah" in style. <mee-nah = malay ah-lian>

stop-over 4: FCUK Wisma. (favourite no. 2. courtesy of Jared Tan)
only liked ONE t-shirt. baby turqoise with FCUK logo. sweet and girlish. nice with jeans and heels.

last stop: MNG Wisma. (all time walk-shop favourite. always have something to buy)
wow... many things i like... a black lacy-satin spag straps top $25. a purple satin spag strap top with a huge flower motif $39. a grey-purplish linen long sleeves top $19. a velvet baby turqoise skirt $45. the first 2 tops were so flattering and sexy. a bit shiny but not Over-The-Top. suitable for both clubbing or a dinner function when adorned with accessories, tiny purse bag and strappy heels. the latter outfit was quite flattering too but in a different manner... more so a sexy youthful office-lady look. i like the skirt a lot... but it only goes with a few tops.

but i decided not to buy any of the above items. it would be nice if i get just one out of the four items from MNG as my 20th birthday treat. but i am okay to do without them too. these arematerial wants, not needs. there are pretty luxuries which i cna do without now. moreover, i am not drawing an income. i am also a self-declared bankrupt case. anyway, there'll be even nicer clothes to buy. there'll be a new range of skincare and cosmetics introduced next season.

what i need is love. spiritual love. emotional love. physical love.
God's love. Family's love. Joshua's love. Friendship's love.

what i want to give is love.
give my time to love God. give my time to my family.
give my time to Joshua. give my time to my close friends (Mensa Clique).

it was a thoroughly enjoyable day. i am very happy. i am very contented.
i feel so fortunate. because i have Joshua beside me, loving and protecting me.
