Big Yellow Taxi

You know the song whose chorus goes "Don't it always seem to go that you don't know what you've got till its gone? They've paved paradise, and put up a parking lot." Yeah, the song they used in that ditzy movie Two Weeks' Notice? Well, I guess this could be one of those days where the song comes to mind.

Went shopping with Paul for a birthday present for my sis. Something more decent than usual, since I realise this will be our last celebration as a family before she gets married and moves on. And I guess warts and all aside, she's been a pretty amazing sister. I would know. I've been an amazing brother, and an even more amazing leach. Grins. So now that we've come to the end of all things, I guess its either now or never, that at least symbolically I repay some of the love she's shown me. So the day started with a search for the perfect handbag for her.

That ambition quickly faded with every passing moment, in no way helped out by my boyfriend who played his part to perfection, with the whole "Man, I'm so tired I can't shop anymore" gig. Grins. Not to mention the hundred and one choices that exist for the simplest of handbags, and the fact that whatever goes on in the psychopathic mind of any girl towards their choice and preference towards certain handbags that I need to factor into consideration, I quickly realised I was fighting a losing battle. In the end I wandered into St. Michael's and bought her a bag from there. The $300 bucks target ended up as a $50 buck handbag. Hehz.

Ah well. Sat down with Paul, and we chatted abt really meaningless stuff. The weather's really crazy la. Not in the mood to talk anything more serious. Brain's absolutely stoned out.

After that dropped into Takashimaya to visit Weimin and Huiyu, who then helped me to salvage the target of lavishing something on my sis. Ended up buying a set of Swarovski crystal necklace and earrings. Almost $170 bucks. Hahahaha... Boy did the pinch hurt, but I guess at least it was really something I would have regretted had I not done it.

Well, my sis at least had the decency to pretend that she really liked it, so I shall take her word at it and be glad about it. Grins.

Tmr having DG again, followed by worship prac. And if all goes well, tmr I'll be watching soccer match with Jin Liang, who might have finished with his exams. So, to my friends taking his last dentistry paper, and her GMAT paper, here's wishing them all the best. Hahahaha... so easy to be praying for them BOTH. *snigger*

But ah well. Was really happy to hear from Ham finally, abt meeting up. Will meet him on monday. Yet ironically, he showed up to look for Weimin after messaging me, so I got to see him earlier. Grins. Didn't know what he talked to her abt, and didn't wanna kaypoh abt their own business la. Just hope things went alright. Was telling Syl whatever decision they make, its not for us to say whether its good or bad la. Its their decision, their life. Guess I'll just be praying for them.

And its such a funny thing abt love. Lose it and you desperately wish to find it back. Get it back and you soon lose sight of it and wonder whatever made you bite in the first place.

And I guess this is one of those nights where I'm on the side who wishes I could find back a love of my own. (No no no, when I say 'find back', I dun mean 'get back with'... hehz...) Someone whom I could share my concerns, someone I could pour my feelings out to, someone whom I could turn to when feeling a little down.

Ah well. If only I had a dog...
