Love Letters
Katherine Mansfield: January 27, 1918
My love for you tonight is so deep and tender that it seems to be outside myself as well. I am fast shut up like a little lake in the embrace of some big mountains. If you were to climb up the mountains,
you would see me down below, deep and shining - and quite fathomless, my dear. You might drop your heart into me and you'd never hear it touch bottom.
Gustave Flaubert: August 21, 1853
Have you really not noticed, then, that here of all places, in this private, personal solitude that surrounds me, I have turned to you? All the memories of my youth speak to me as I walk, just as the sea shells crunch under my feet on the beach. The crash of every wave awakens far-distant reverberations within me.
I hear the rumble of bygone days, and in my mind the whole endless series of old passions surges forward like the billows. I remember my spasms, my sorrows, gusts of desire that whistled like wind in the rigging, and vast vague longings that swirled in the dark like a flock of wild gulls in a storm cloud.
On whom should I lean, if not on you? My weary mind turns for refreshment to the thought of you as a dusty traveler might sink onto a soft and grassy bank.

Fanny Kemble: December 1842
Having loved you well enough to give you my life when it was best work giving --having made you the center of all my hopes of earthly happiness -- having never loved any human being as I have loved you, you can never be to me like any other human being, and it is utterly impossible that I should ever regard you with indifference.
My whole existence having once had you for its sole object, and all its thoughts, hopes, affections having, in their full harvest, been yours, it is utterly impossible that I should ever forget this--that I should ever forget that you were once my lover and are my husband and the father of my children. I cannot behold you without emotion; my heart still answers to your voice, my blood in my veins to your footsteps.
Ludwig van Beethoven
"...ever thine, ever mine, ever ours."

Sometimes i like to look at the way love letters were written in the older days. A tad dramatic maybe...but so full of emotion. I wonder if people anywhere in the world still write like that. With such heart.
But anyway i'm still getting used to living on the purple side of Singapore. One of them nights i was at Siglap having a nice chat with Visa & two of his friends we ran into. Journey home was...puzzling. I somehow landed smack in the middle of Geylang, on a Saturday night i think. So goddamned interesting!! As in the bus went through the entire Geylang so i pretty much spent my time just staring out of the window. Until i had to take out my trusty bus guide...yeah go ahead laugh but its a necessity for people with poor senses of direction like me. I did make it "home" though. Ooh but last night i managed to unlock the front gate, failed to lock the lock because it was so stiff, gave up. Walked in, unlocked the front door, climbed upstairs hoping to find someone with more strength to help me lock the gate........and then the alarm went off -.-
I DIDN'T KNOW I HAD TO DEACTIVATE AN ALARM?!??! So it got my aunt and cousin making a mad dash to deactivate the alarm and me being very meek. Sigh. I never learn.
Okay & i know i am possibly...THE LAST person in the world to touch anything related to Twilight. I didn't read the book...or watch the movie. I was mostly "...you seriously want me to read? about. vampires???" but ok Kit & I rented Twilight yesterday because we just had to. I was really prepared to see what the hype is about the Edward boy and at first i was all EW HE'S GROSSLY PALE but on a couple more looks i went to the point where i was on Brad Pitt in The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. Which was the "OMG I LOVE HIM" for approximately....every(?) time his face/BODY (!!) showed onscreen. Which also left Kit all panicky and "NO YOU'RE MINE!!!!!!!!" *cue one arm strangle-hug*, and a bout of complaining on his blog -.-

Thank you (:
10th
Early morning my mom dropped me off at Kit's place. Because i don't want to spend grueling time travel from Serangoon to Jurong West myself. I like this picture. The shadows are nice and my hair, for once looks fine when swept to one side. Credits....to boyfriend.
We shopped the whole day & i've fallen in love!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! With the stacked heels. Aldo. Wood and brass studs and that woven leatherish top...good lord. My mom will kill me if i get it. It'll top the JC platforms at $275 ):
Why.
Why can't you be like. $150. Or something. I'd pay $150 i love you....so much. Below $100 is unthinkable. Unimaginable i won't even go there. Sigh. But i got this bondane zipper dress thats in, blue. I'm still deciding whether i kinda like the color but Kit was all "That's a great start!! Color. You have blue. Now we can go for stuff like....red and.." Ah well. I'd be happier if it was in black or something honestly. I've to quit complaining. And damn the bottom is clinging. What else to expect with bondage right but he was all yay i can see your ass and i was mostly just...i like the dress ALOT but it'll look alot better with skinny legs.
Therefore i've decided to disillusion myself with the whole Dove campaign thing. You know, beauty comes in all shapes and sizes and blah. Makes me feel better.
I'm planning to go on a work spree or something to get money so i can get myself some retail therapy. I haven't bought anything in ages. I don't shop frequently. I shop VERY occasionally but in bulk. That's also when i go broke you see. Shopping in bulk's the best. It's ALWAYS a happy day and carrying the 127361827462 paper bags. So awesome and i'd go home, open all of them and go yay!!!!!! I bought this!!!! All over again -.-
Anyway, dinner at Kenny Rogers my all time fav!!!!!!!! Happy 10 months love 8)
I found this written in my planner. Haha (: I hope you're having a good time in Bintan i have work at Frolick tonight x.x on the bright side i'm getting a new phone! I'm thinking along the lines of HTC. But i don't know the reviews on that. Nokia E71 or something looks neat but it's such a Blackberry knockoff. Sigh. I hate technology i know nuts about all that. And yeah i'd get the Prada if i could afford it but judging from the way i treat my phones...i shouldn't even think about it really. Everytime my phone smashes on the floor, i go "oh look my phone dropped again!" Everytime i hear something clatter onto the ground, i go "ok that's probably my phone."
So i shouldn't.
Anyway we watched pretty models going up and down the runway for a little while before we headed out into the night air for some quiet.
Love you chicken wing. Bring back a seashell for me!
