flowers in the attic

just reached home from orchard with the boy, what else but to look at the lights and soak in the festive atmostphere this christmas. and goodness, my legs are aching and basically my whole body is just tired out from all the walking la. i haven't walked in town for ages!

and the crowd, oh the crowd- don't let me get started on it. the only good thing about crowds is probably being able to people-watch. but that's only if i'm not actually walking in it.

anyhow the lights are nothing spectacular this year, probably because of the economy recession and all that, but it was nice walking down the road and listening to the choir singing everywhere you turn, and looking at the decorations and vying with the crowd for a good photo-taking spot. haha.

earlier this afternoon we were at his friend's christmas gathering, when i suddenly got a peek into the future if and when i become part of a married couple.

because jonnie's friend's boyfriend is like maybe six years older than me, his friends are mostly that age too, and there was even a married couple with a kid there. so i was probably the youngest there, and i was like, woa okay, this is probably how it's gonna be like say five years down the road when i'm married and visiting friends, and kids are running around the place and our lives are never the same again.

oh but we played this Playstation thing which is probably like the ancestor of Wii, which detects our movements via a camera and it was damn fun la! i haven't tried Wii yet, but i can imagine how much better it would be if the Playstation ancestor was already this fun :)

and i also reckoned, anyway, that (my) seven months together in a relationship is actually pretty short, compared to the years of friends' relationships. most people around me right now have been in relationships for like at least more than a year, the longest being maybe four to five years? so jonnie, we still have a long way to go man. haha.

so i've been out less with a good friend alone these days, just hanging out and catching up over a meal, so it was good when i met up with R last week for dinner and coffee at citylink. we caught up, gossiped, and she updated me about her very interesting love life ;)

and oh, it was just really great to hang out with a girlfriend and just laugh the time away and talking about guys. the last time i met her was actually one day before i got attached la. so that's... pretty long ago.

good luck, R, with everything, esp. you know what ;)

okay i am so tired, and there's a bbq happening tomorrow with the CS clique, and i've like two to three ulcers in my mouth right now? -_- but this wouldn't stop me from savouring the bbq-ed food, i love bbqs! :)
