HT's belated 24th bday lunch at Crazy World Cafe + Kbox!

*rRandom tThought: Nv tot I could hav tat much patience and be intrigued by wat seems to take a long time to complete.*

Met up with Alina and HT on sun afternoon for a lazy afternoon at Crazy World Cafe at Chinatown! OMG I love the concept of this cafe... I mean lazing ard and nt having anyone chase us out.

Alina and I arrived 1st, blur bday gal was late... even took the wrong train route haha. It's been sometime since we last met, so yup with status change in their relationships, we gt quite a bit to talk about. I was discussing about Alina and Aden... hw they gt together. Oh it really feels we all are grown up, listening to hw Alina went about them... it feels kinda gd to hear tat we all understand wat we're gg thru and we're facing it sincerely. 

Yes and tat's the Rilakkuma (man I can nv get the spelling right~ had to check online haha!) stuff we gt for her! HT's still as cute, all her loves about the colour pink and this haha. 3 of us ate quite a bit thr neh hehe...

The beer-battered fish and chips I had was nt bad... a lil' bit of beer taste haha. Alina and HT had mushrm spag... HT loves mushrm as much as I do lol~ plus she evened ordered the fried cheese mushrm... lucky it wasn't tat cheesy so I liked it too. 3 of us shared the choco lave b4 gg off too cos Alina was too tempted by it lol! Dark choco plus vanilla ice-cream ooo~

I fell in love straightaway with this cloth passport cover! It costs 18bucks (yeah juz 2+bucks cheaper than our meal each) but it's the design tat strucks me! I've always been into such designs, theme... be it letters, envelopes etc... "woody" stuff attracts me easily haha. I was deciding bet. another one with London icons on the cover instead cos I've a fetish for things Eng, b4 Alina and HT convinced me tat this looks slightly nicer than the other lol. 

We shopped ard for a while, and realised we gt no whr to go. Alina's meeting Aden, so we let the 2 lovebirds meet earlier haha~ HT and I wanted to go to her place initially to read some Horoscope stuff, until this gal recalled tat the bk's in her office! Lol~ we headed to Kbox at CCK for singing instead, since it's been yrs since we sung together! *Did HT's singing improved or I juz din realise her voice's nice all along? Haha!* She heard me singing“礼物”and tot it was nice, so asked to sing together for a second time while she dl-ed the song on the spot haha~ *$20 each~ I somehw "sacrificed my pocket" for the bday gal cos Kala card was oni 8bucks nett by right.*

Anyway, HT's back to being single after yrs of being attached. Even though it's oni been a few days since she broke up with her bf of 3+yrs, she was being upfront about it. 她说得坦白，我也听得点头如捣蒜。Despite liking cute stuffs and being a cute gal, she's rather mature in terms of thinking. 

佩服她在人前的坚强，或许如同她说的：早就淡了。

感情果然不可以拖，否则自己越陷越深，无法自拔的时候就没什么药可救了。

*我想谈得小心翼翼，但如果这样花上好几年都不能爱上对方……也不见得是好事lol。*

Had been trying to contact all the interviewees I'd interview last fri to do final confirmations for my GSS 3 article. Finally finished it on mon afternoon! *Hopefully it would turn out fine!* Had lunch with TJ and she recommended me to this coffee shop across the rd, I tried the yong tau hu and it was yummy eh. *Shall try the烧腊面TJ had someday, cos it looks nice too!* Poor gal was so tired after her 21st bday celebration at a chalet... 70+ppl turned up~ 好人缘啊haha! Anyway, juz realised原来在这行要忙比较不会容易累, cos I was taking my time to translate an email interview this afternoon, and cos it wasn't in a rush, I was yawning lotsa time!

Friend(s) of 7yrs...

I dunno if tat was misunderstanding, miscommunication or everybody's fault? Reckon a mixture of all 3 pts above. Thr really comes a pt of time when I dun feel like explaining anything anymore, after seeing many msgs, which made things worse. It's juz diff to explain myself in sms, to tell u I gt ur pts, and to put my pts across at the same time. Hw could a simple dinner turn out this way? 

I even tot the 2 of us understood each other inside all along, to some extent.

If it was me in the past, I'd be super fed up, like u are nw. I'd write as much as I could, till I'm the last to say anything. It'd feel like I've won. Then again, I guess thr are a few faces to me. I din expect myself to be as calm as I was, as if I'm someone nt in this mess. *I won't be like tat if I were to face the other party in person of cos.* I guess the heart did turn cold somewhr in bet., the less I cared. I wouldn't say it hurt when u threw the dart. I dislike telling ppl off straight in their face, for many reasons I dun wanna spell out. 

So right nw, I am keeping quiet. I'm positive the prob would be solved, everything would turn out alright someday, cos u're only throwing tantrums, right? However if u want to prove me wrong, this could most prob mean the end of everything. *I try my best to maintain relationships, dun tell me it's a waste of effort, if u haven't tried enough.*  

*rRandom tThought: Hmm...我不知道友情也会经历“七年之痒”~ lol.*
