Oh my effing god I wanted to post about this but I totally digressed after going into the whole PS debacle! Haha.

It's just so damn annoying to see all of a sudden, Twilight readers pop out here there and everywhere. It got so bad I half thought they'll come through the cracks in the wall too. Like mould. Ha ha. I'm not talking about people who want to watch the movie because of Robert Pattinson and then read the books to get a little background info before the movie itself but the freaking poseurs who go all twilight-ish when they only read the book after they knew the movie was coming out and they just wanna look smart and all. Even TwilightSingapore.com is about the movie itself when personally, I won't expect the movie to have as much an impact on me as the books did.

With the books, there's no boundaries to your imagination. Alice and Rosalie was perfect in my mind... but in the movie? They look old, and tired. Definitely not frozen at eighteen. And Edward? I was all ready to marry him and was dreaming about our kids when I saw the movie poster and fainted. My bubble burst with an nuclear explosion. Mr. Cedric Diggory had NOTHING on my Edward. He was human, after all.

Ok I got distracted AGAIN. Rats.

What I mean is, don't read Twilight because everyone has and am and you just wanna look like you're in with it. In fact, don't read it at all you'll just spoil it for everyone.

P.S. Twilight opened with a 70 million box office in the U.S. I know I love the books more, but still, it's all very exciting isn't it? It comes just after Harry Potter! And somewhere F heard someone (obviously worth listening to) say ' This is not a movie you watch twice, but thrice.'

Am super excited! F is booking the whole cinema to screen it on 13th Dec! Right after the premiere on the 12th! Official screenings start on the 18th... but that's forever. Am going to dress up like a vampire. Which in Twilight's terms, consists wholly of designer clothes. (:

P.P.S Want to complain about the movie, but will probably do that tomorrow or after I watched it.

Oh god I'm so annoyed.

Just now, when I was playing Pet Society (if you STILL don't know what this is you're officially socially inept) with F trying to race him to the highest level (he started 3 days after I did and is currently, in the most humbling way possible 2 levels above me) when we realised we could get the Santa trophy by passing gifts to each other! (You get a bronze trophy for giving 5 presents to your friends, silver for 25 and gold 50)

So, we started passing lemons, pears - stuff that cost 5 coins each.
Then, we got carried away and realised that bigger stuff objects, more expensive objects gave us Pawpoints (thingies you need to level up) and we went...

M: Omg, I'm giving you my bowler hat now.

F: Ok. Giving you my... shoes.

*Both stripping pets of whatever possessions they had*

F: Omg, why don't we pass the beds! It's 2000 coins so i think we can get a lot of Pawpoints!

M: Are you sure.... Ok.

5 mins later

F: Have you sent it back?

M: I did. Like, long ago.

F: OH MY FUCKING GOD I LOST MY BED.


Don't laugh at us please F reckons the creators of PS are watching over everyone playing in the world and they decided to confiscate the most expensive item we as mild cheaters were trading. F's bed never got to him. In the end I gave him my bed and when you see Mimi sleeping on the floor, have a kind heart and give me a bed please.

Am feeling random.

Train of thought is so jumbled up it derailed. Have a lot of things to blog about but when fingers touch the keyboard, writer's block descends. Been thinking about my life recently. Most people look back 10 years and go, 'Omg, what was I thinking wearing that disaster' I look back 2 months. And I don't mean it as a good thing. My mindset, opinions change so quickly I don't know where to turn, where to look. Something that seemed like a good idea 10mins ago sucked now.

Last night. Late in bed. Qt all tuckered out. Arm around me. I started thinking... 3 years ago, what I did then seemed pretty... nothing to me. Looking back now, I was a monster. Inexcusable. Apologizing, explaining - all useless now. We all think we're so smart, at 9, 13, 15 years old. But truth is, we do grow, and experience makes us stronger, and way smarter.

So listen to your mom.

Escape weekend




Hello Fullerton


The corridor was so damn long it took us quite some time to find our room

Esplanade room on the top floor

Wooh

Haha stupid shoe

Stupid Mr. Dimple


Our room








What's that!



A walk-in I want at home ):






Weird thingy



Awesome view




Awesome possum

Yuck



Entertaining myself while Mr Dimple was showering



The pool's so idyllic seriously. Like you're all looking unglam right smack in the middle of town watching people stroll by in their own worlds



Splashy splash





Cutesy (:



Bob bob

The pool was like filled with cute ang moh/jap kids. Made me feel all maternal for a moment.


Dress from JLo's diffuse line, shoes from Peddar Red


I cropped away the rest of the picture because somehow, I managed to look like I broke my neck.




Leaving for the Singapore Flyer



Touristy photos



Mr Dimple's one year present

Mr Dimple

And here we are!
Our own capsule!








The package was like damn cool seriously. Like you get all VIP treatment, skip all the queues, get champagne glasses and cocktails and most importantly, your very own capsule! Can you imagine trying to cam whore along with so many people? You can't even get decent shots and when you want to take photos of a certain place, you have to 'Excuse me excuse me' here and there cos there's people all around. Defeats the very purpose of going there.
























This is my favourite picture! See if you don't have our own capsule you can't do that. :/






It was so hard taking photos still though cos I have to keep changing the exposure and aperture settings ):




Atop the world
















And so we head back to Fullerton for the Chocolate Buffet!

Mr Dimple not really looking forward to it cos he is hungry and also one of the very few people I know who doesn't live on chocolate.

ME!


Pretty marshmallows


The first time I see strawberries offered along on buffet with the chocolate fountain. But it is a chocolate buffet after all, haha.





Oh!! I love this thingy it reminds me of Cooking Mama so much. You pick whatever chocolate you like and the chef makes it into hot chocolate for you! I chose those with lesser cocoa percentage cos I like sweet stuff but it turned out very milky. Boo





I love their bread pudding!! It's cranberries and chocolate bread pudding and that's not what you see everywhere. Yummy yummy I had 2 servings of it. Their creme brulee was awesome too. Chocolate cakes are otherwise the average chocolately kind (not the cheap doesn't taste of chocolate but colored chocolate kind). Some flavours are really exotic though. Unless you're a chocolate connossieur.

Black cherries mousse. I got a shock when I ate it, the taste was way intense.

Back at the hotel room we ordered room service. Contary to what we thought, their chinese food's awesome!

Ok no photos of the buffet brekkie though. I was too lazy/tired/hungry. But it was one of the largest spread I've ever seen in all hotels. Mr Dimple and I decided to eat al fresco by the Singapore River and when we set our filled plates down and went to get other stuff, the staff covered it with some professional looking plastic cover. Initially we thought we were so cared for until the angmohs next table left theirs and birds of all kinds like big black crows and the normal looking brown ones hopped on the table and pecked around. I was astonished, especially when staff walked past up and down the table under attack but took no notice. We shifted inside though cos the crows were honestly HUGE and kept flying around us. -Shivers.

All in all, it was a fabulous weekend and anniversary. It meant a lot to me as it was my first time getting to celebrate it... Thank you babypie! For Fullerton, the Singapore Flyer and Chocolate Buffet. For not getting mad at me when I fell asleep and you wanted to go for supper. For giving me the chance at all to be able to celebrate this date. Thank you. I love you.
