Exhaustively merry

Happy Birthday to my beautiful friend and sister called Jane. :)



My toes are sore, the balls of my feet are throbbing with a stinging pain, and my back is aching like I just slept on a bed of pins. Hadn't I take heed of past shopping trips? Conquering Somerset @ 313 was a chore, considering the unusually heavy human traffic there today, plus the building itself was a 5-storey-3-basement engineering feat. Thanks to Jack-the-Boyfriend, I had a shopping companion who doesn't complain as much as I do while scouring the depths of the stores.

Dinner with the Birthday Girl! Apparently no girl likes adding numbers to her age, but we made it better with good food and company, minus the bad service from Say Cheese!. They were visibly short-handed, and HY couldn't help commenting that the service crew were more concerned with flirting with each other than serving us. Tsk, tsk. More will come up at my food blog when I'm done with my assignment. Anyway, we had great talk while waiting for the food, including conversations about graduation trips, honours possibilities, pairing up our Birthday Girl with eligible bachelors, etc... And it all is true, to my realisation, that we may no longer find the time to hang out as often in the future, when everyone's joined the workforce, gotten married, had children, etc. But we'll always make the effort, like what we did today, to catch up with one another, promise?

And it's been a great opportunity, to have the girls I love get along well with the boy I love, and watch the amazing interactions we had. :)
