So, in a blink of an eye, Matt and I’d been together for 10 months. Just two more months and it’s a year! It honestly feels like we’ve only just started dating… Maybe it’s the fact that we’ve only been physically together four months before I jetted off to HK.
To be honest, I was worried how the distance would affect such a young relationship but half a year later, I’m happy to report that we’re going great and I still get bashful around him!
Earlier today, my family was celebrating Seth’s 1st birthday and Matt was so sweet to chat with me via Skype so I could see and hear what was happening. I even said hi to some of Che’s long-time friends and Kirsten’s paternal cousins. Terelle said hi and sang Twinkle Twinkle Little Star and ABC songs with Kiks as well. They were so hilarious.
Kiks chatted to me for a bit and kept saying “Happy Birthday Yi Yi!” Aw, that girl’s such a sweetheart. Before Matt arrived at Che’s place, he went to the Toys ‘R Us at Forum after he finished work with me on the phone, wondering around the store alone, contemplating what to get.
After much discussion with me, he got Seth a ball (my idea since he’s one and should learn about throwing, catching and kicking) and toy gun with fancy lights and sounds (of cos Matt’s idea) and bubbles for Kiks. However, of cos Kiks claimed ownership to all of them, looking at the way she played with the toys on Skype. Doesn’t matter since Di Di’s too blur to notice!
Kiks and her toddler pal. Is that the 'Sumo' boy, Che? He's so cute! He couldn't blow the bubbles, no matter how hard he tried.

Blur Di Di! Do you even know it's your birthday party?!
Matt texted me earlier while I was doing my grocery run. He was hoping I could come online cos they were doing the cake cutting and was hoping everyone would sing for me too via Skype. That was such a sweet thought but thank god it didn’t happen. So embarrassing to try to steal the limelight from a one-year-old!
Louise got me a CNY decoration piece yesterday so I put it on my metal gate once I got home. It’s so cute! And she was really sweet to even get that.
It's Doraemon too!
Does anyone know the yellow cat is Doraemon’s sister or girlfriend? Sorry, random question. Louise and I were pondering that yesterday and it would be nice if we have an answer!
Meanwhile, I’ve been reading loads of Susie Bubble recently and realised she’s a huge Basso & Brooke fan and I was like, “Wow! I have a pair of their boots!” I got it when I very first arrived in HK. Amy, Libby and I made a beeline for the S/S ’08 sale at Harvey Nichols and when I saw this beautiful pair of boots at 50% (or was it 60% or 70%?!?) off, I had to get it even though I know I don’t wear heels that much, especially more so in HK.

I’ve worn it… once so far. I love it but it’s just so unbelievably hard to wear heels in HK – firstly I’m not a I-can-live-only-in-heels kinda girl and secondly, the Mid-Levels is not exactly a heels-friendly area. It’s ok, I’m happy to just have this pair in my shoe collection. :)
Sigh, no DVD for tonight. I’ve been going to the store every evening to see if The Women (with Meg Ryan, Eva Mendes, Anette Benning and Debra Messing) has been returned but after four nights, still no sight. :( Apparently, it’s showing in the cinemas in SG now so it’ll be nice to watch it before I return on Wed and itches to watch it in the cinema!
Meanwhile, I really want to catch Rachel Getting Married, the movie that won Anne Hathaway her Golden Globe, when I’m back and I know just who’s the person to ask to watch it with me… And of course, Red Cliff II! Tony!
However, my lousy boyfriend with a goldfish memory said he’s kinda forgotten what happened in Red Cliff I and requested he watches it again. Seriously. -_- It’s ok, I’ll play the naice girlfriend and get the DVD here (not pirated hor!) for a 10-month anniversary gift, amongst others.
Ok, gonna go back to couch lazing with tabloids. Happy Sunday! :)
