This is the first time I’m working on my bday. Usually I’ll take leave ^^; This is also the first time there isn’t really a special celebration on the actual day. I’ll be celebrating with my family only on Thurs after my bro’s exams~ All I wanted to eat today is lamb chop ne, have been thinking about it the whole day~~ looking forward to dinner! (Btw, if you don’t know, EATING is my hobby keke~~^^) Last night, we agreed that my bf will buy back a packet of lamb chops for me and black pepper crab for himself from the coffeeshop below his house.

But all the lambs seem to be on strike today.

The day went fine, with loads of bday msgs from everyone, RL and OL *ARIGATO* My big boss came with a box of donuts. My boss emailed to wish me, my colleagues wished me, and even some of my team members (whom I’ve never met) from UK sent me email greetings. My colleague (the Hyde fan :D) gave me a USB Flash Cup Warmer~ ^^ And there weren’t many tasks to do today~

Then he called me when I was leaving the office and told me that he suddenly remembered that the western food store might be closed today. Yappari, when I reached the coffeeshop, it was really closed ne~ Ok, so we tried calling his sister who might be able to buy on the way back, but she didn’t pick up the phone coz she was driving… By the time she checked her phone, she was already at home…

So I told my bf to stop over at some nearby coffeeshops (he was on the bus) to die-die get a box of lamb chops for me lol~ He checked out both coffeeshops there but none had western food stalls… *murphy’s law* So he came back to the coffeeshop below his house to buy his black pepper crab. Called me to ask if I can have Indian mutton soup or mutton chops instead. I said I’m fine as long as there’s mutton or lamb (which tastes similar to me anyway, still the same “family” ahem as me lol~). But the store guy told him that their mutton’s sold out today *bangs wall* Then he checked with the zi cha store (coz I don’t mind eating just simple fried mutton pieces lol~), and the lady said they have beef, venison, pork, chicken, fish… everything but mutton or lamb.

I GIVE UP. LOL.

I settle for black pepper crab :D

The weekend flew by so fast!!!

Saturday~

Met Stephie for the first time~ :D We were at Bugis Jn. and I saw this nice kirakira bag at 77th St. which I like. Then at Bugis St., there were so many nice shoes and boots!! The best thing was, both of us were walking along a row of shops and SUDDENLY we just heard something really familiar. We paused for a while — listened carefully — and realised it was “SAMURAI~ SAMURAI~” Immediately, we followed the boys’ voices and found that the CD is playing from the shop which was just straight ahead of us. Lol~ I saw the spinning disc in the cd player and recognised that it was the BLUE TAKITSUBA BEST album. Then after “Samurai” ended, the guy in the store amazingly did not change the disc! He repeated it!! Hahaaa~~ We saw among a stack of CDs the 2U4U album as well~ but it was the Taiwan version… But, ah, this guy = *thumbs up*

Obviously, we thought it was a sign! It gave me more reason to look through the clothes in that shop, and seriously, I love one of the shorts there but unfortunately I was too big for it ne (din have my size lol~). We stayed through “Overture”, “True Heart”, “Kiseki” and part of “Get Down” before we left :D That was the store which we stayed in the longest! ^^;

Then after shopping for a while, I think coz I’m old liao, and apparently forgot my daily doze of coffee that morning, headache struck, and we sat in the cafe there to talk… so fun! But I feel like an old obasan amongst all the youngsters (Stephie included lol~)…

Sunday~

After class, my bf & I went to the 77th St. at Far East and realised that they do not carry that series of bags which I saw on Sat, so we went to Bugis. After squeezing with the crowd for the 2nd time in 2 days, I went back to one of the shoe shops at Bugis St. My intention was to buy a white heeled shoes which I spotted yesterday. But I tried on a pair of boots, and that’s it, the moment I tried, I had to get it! It was so comfortable~!! I’ve always thought I can’t fit into boots lol~ and my colleague and I have been drooling over boots for about 2 weeks now~ yes, we’re the deprived Singaporeans who’ve never really needed to wear boots haha… So, I ended up spending 70 bucks just on that! Takakatta da kedo ureshi desu~ :D Then we went to the 77th St. at Bugis Jn, and finally, my bf got that kirakira bag which I love as a bday present! Honto ni ureshii desu! ^^;

Now that I’m back home, I realised that I haven’t blogged in about 4 days? lol~ Sumimasen… I’ve been shopping and eating hahaha… and we finally finished Yoshitsune (again for me)~ :D It’s just too sad, I cried again~ of course not as much as the first time I watched… but ahh.. then I also watched the part where Takki cried after the last day of filming… ahhhhhhh~~~

Ah, I read the Denpajou translation at Bonnie’s just now, and Takki is really the cutest!!!!! ^o^ the part where he said, when his mom calls “Hide!”, himself, Hidezo & Hidepita would turn their heads at the same time~ bwahahahahahaha~~~

Also, I want to thank Ribi for this:

She got this for me from Japan as a bday present too~ I will make full use of it ne!
Doubt I’d be able to do it half as well as Takki, but I WILL TRY! ^_^ Arigato gozaimasu!!!

Lol~ he’s holding her hand every episode now, isn’t he? hehehehe… Wow, her shoes are very doll-like ne! Really like a hime~ :D But there is something different about Takki.. is it his hair? Did he cut it? Rebonded and cut? Colored? bwahaha… I can’t tell anymore ne… *blur*

Anyway, the starting part of the talk was really funny! The guest is 39 years old but not married yet. Then Kazuchan was saying something about “shin pin” (brand new item). She kinda expects Takki to know what she meant, but he was like.. “shin pin?… shin pin?” *giving a blur look* then she said “virgin” lol~ then his reaction was so cute “ah, socchi kaa” LOL~ and did he just went on and asked the guest if she was a virgin? bwahahahahaaaa *whacks* then when the set started revolving… hahaha…

I cut from the start of the talk to all the virgin talk by Teppei and Ueda coz it was funny~
