Both the waitress and Zj were in awe when presented with the cake and flowers. Our not-too-private couple seating at Sun with Moon ,left me feeling a tad shy [ for the very first time] with myself and my surprise. The waitress was a little taken when she presented the heart-shaped cake to a guy [ which she has obviously assumed otherwise] , with me presenting pink cherry blossoms with him blowing the candle. The rest of the ppl looked on as he flushed and took everything in stride.

I have to admit i totally forgot about how crowded that place can be on a friday night. Nonetheless, he loved my mini surprise before both of us adjorned to CitySpace at Raffles City , to celebrate yet another bash - did up by my dear friends, in Singapore, for him.

We had a hearty time. All of us. To see Zj and my friends have becoming friends. Its a very sweet feeling.

On the jet plane in a couple of minutes time, Zj ended his superfluous 8 days in the Merlion City. Eight days without having time to make his way to Sentosa , neither to Clarke Quay. Though we have The paranomic view at City Space last night , overseeing everything that he hasnt stepped foot on - I 'd wished i could have found more time to do those stuff with him. Nonetleless, he is happy that we found some time together and knowing how I lead my life in Singapore

I have an uncanny feel that I will not see him very soon. I am not too upset with it actually. Not that I see this as transient and ephemeral - but having less expectations for such and letting it go when the time comes rather than holding on to an unrealistic dream that can never materialise. I learn to be more hopeful in some perspects and less in others. Perhaps thats what we call = growing old.

I am going to whack the gym till dinner time later on. It has been too much satay consumption , enough to cajole to a lifetime.
