sorry for neglecting and forgetting to update!!
been pretty elated the past few days.. ESPECIALLY the part where i get to see Mr. J EVERYDAY. (In case you were wondering, NOPE, i'm not bored of him! Au contraire; i'm much more addicted and craving...FOR MORE OF MR. J!!!) i'll try to type what i remember.
24 dec
night safari
orchard
We went to the night safari in a bid to avoid the countdown crowd... and i ONLY remember the leopard and otter encounters the most.
She was tracing a figure-of-eight. I bent lower to get closer to the leopard. As she sees me while walking, she pauses. For a moment, time stands still as our eyes meet. I am not taken aback by her size, but by the intensity of the stare. I go.."Whoa." and wrap around J's calf for comfort. =)
The otters were sooo cute!! Shall not go on yabbering on how they moved... Here's the cute part. They squeaked at J and I. IN A ROW!!! heh. How cute is THAT? =)
Took a cab down to orchard to look for food. Roaming hungry ghosts amongst a mob of MADDDD people spraying snow. Was irritated at everyone who sprayed snow at me. Let them off cos it was christmas. (How magnanimous of me! I'd have murdered them if it weren't xmas. J's cruel method of torture: Hang them upside down, cut off a left nut(ow), cut off the eyelids and leave them to bleed to death... SLOWLY...MUAHAHAHAHA)
25 dec
my party!
had loads of fun and stress. Who wouldn't be if you had to ENTERTAIN, SERVE GUESTS AND GET THE SCREWDRIVER all at the same time? Sheesh dad, get a grip.
To all ya peeps who attended the party, thanks for your presents AND presence. =)
Esp: J, Yish, Seb, Fats, Steph, Kel, Mich and Diana!
26 dec
jazz concert
the jazzy xmas concert that he treated me to totally rocked.. i was stunned that the concert had
ended anyways, but it was GREAT! =)
After the concert, we headed down to sense restaurant which was completely EMPTY. i just couldn't believe it! i kept asking if he booked the whole place down or something, but he was like.. er.. No? That sounds really sweet and all... but no. haha...and then a few other couples (3 to be exact) came into the restaurant for food, i said :" Wow.. you're soooo kind.. though you booked the whole place, you ACTUALLY allowed other people to dine as well!! wowwwww" (call it denial, but it WAS rather amusing. (: ) The food was good, and there was the ambience. Ooh. Loved cuddling up with him when i had my tea at the end of the meal.. ooh and the pillows. nice. ;) By the way.. i sang "it's beginning to look alot like christmas, eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeevrywhere you turn..." for like... 1000 times at least throughout the evening. soo cute to see him go *grr*!
The night view outside the Esplanade totally rocks! Breath-taking... (Well,it WAS rather windy and chilly, making it hard to breathe =p) He'd wanted to wish me a happy birthday before 12, as he felt that it would be un-clichéd. (Well, my response to that: trying to be un-clichéd is RATHER clichéd at times. haha.. i'm sure you get what i mean right?=)) Guess what? I got many many happy birthday kisses and "Happy Birthday"s, PAST midnight afterall. -.- haha so much for trying to be different!
27 dec
CRYSTAL JADE.yum*
I paid this time for dinner with J. FOOD WAS SOOO GOOD! We went on ranting about food throughout the whole dinner. haha and i said that xiao long baos were better aphrodisiacs than strawberries dipped in choc WITH champagne AND/OR wine!
It's fun to nosh with J! =)

i'm so deliriously happy!!!!
J came over to my place today.. IT WAS SOOOO NICE!!!
*hee* it's the first of many chillout sessions..
+usually i'd go over to his place so today was a first. kinda interesting though.
To kel and fadinah: I PACKED MY ROOM UP!!! Surprised right?
+Cooked his favourite clam chowder soup (No, not from scratch. He was just so damned lucky that i had 3 cans of Campbell's Condensed New England Clam Chowder stocked.) XD *laugh*
+I simply love napping and being a goof with him. We're going to sentosa again tomorrow. Someone was not satisfied with his tan though i'm concerned about me looking like an indian.
J:"But if I don't get my tan, I'll look damned gay!"
C:"How does not getting a tan make you look gay?"
J:"My tattoo looks gay without a tan lar!"
C:"Er.... O...k..."
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kasper's progress is startling.. he can take steps across the room now. Ooh. Did i mention that he winks?? DARNED CUTE!!!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Posting results come out in about 9 plus hours. I WANNA MAKE IT TO THE DAMN SCIENCE STREAM!!
Shall blog after the results come out at 10AM.
WISH ME LUCK!!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yes dearie, YOU WIN. Here we have White Houses. Satisfied i bet.
Sorry for torturing your eardrums with the song on loop guys!
It's been playing in my head in the same way, and the only way of purging it is in sadism.
How so? Seeing you writhe in sheer torture, wiggle uncomfortably in your chair and squirming.
Not to mention that if you were sooo irritated by the song throughout the whole post,
you could have simply clicked the red 'Stop' button in IE.
(For the uninitiated, here's a reverberating muahaha to you. XD)
=o)

Surfing on a cocoa fuelled high~
Eyebrows shall be raised again........
I JUST BOUGHT $6.50 WORTH OF CHOCS!! (Concerned abt whether or not there are worms in my tummy?? TAG YOUR COMMENTS!)
(Consisting of 1 TWIX bar, 1 TIMEOUT bar, 1 Kinder Bueno bar 1 box of strawberry flavoured Hello Panda)
I refer you to this paper written http://serendip.brynmawr.edu/bb/neuro/neuro01/web2/Slaughter.html
which is helpful in answering the question, "What makes people crave for chocolate?"
The Aztec emperor, Montezuma, was said to drink chocolate that was thick as honey and dyed red.
He liked it so much that he drank 50 goblets of it every day, and when he was done, he threw the golden goblets away. They weren't valuable to him, but the chocolate was.
During the 17th century, the chocolate beverage quickly became the fashionable drink all over Europe, but not without opposition. Some condemned it as an evil drink. Frederick III of Prussia prohibited it in his realm.
In the countries that did accept the drink, it was limited to the wealthy because of its high price. The London chocolate houses became the trendy meeting places where the elite London society savored this new luxury beverage.
Industrialization in the 19th and 20th centuries have since made chocolate a food for the masses. But despite its availablilty, people continue to hold onto the notion of chocolate as a special treat.
Sources: http://www.riverdeep.net/current/2001/02/021401_chocolate.jhtml
http://edition.cnn.com/HEALTH/indepth.food/sweets/history/index.html
My personal viewpoint:
Chocolate is sinfully addictive and sometimes it is the only thing that will satisfy your food craving. Aiyooo so what if it is rich in calories and saturated fat? I'm not fat right?
However, chocolate is not good for everyone. There are some poor things who are better off not indulging in the sweet, creamy richness of chocolate. Chocolate, as well as red wines and certain cheeses, contains phenylethylamine (PEA), a substance that can dilate blood vessels in the brain. People with a sensitivity to PEA might find that eating chocolate triggers headaches, even migraine. So people, eat away! (In moderation.) =p
Disclaimer: While Char is darned addicted to chockies and not growing fat, she does not assume any liability such as weight gain or breakouts though she seriously advocates the proliferation of the ideal that chockies are good in the writing of this article.
(Don't hate me cos i ain't fat. Hate me cos i've got high metabolic rate! *evil laughter* BITE ME.)

beaching out with him is fun!
Beached out with Mr. Tan (No pun intended) yesterday at Siloso Beach..
It's always fun to be with J lar... (i know dear, OMG,ISDC!!!!*)
So this is how the whole day went....
I said that I'd get a darker tan...
WITHOUT SUNTANNING OIL!
With that, lil Char got on top of Mr. J..
AND SLATHERED LOTS OF SUNTANNING OIL!
(OI!What were you thinking???Tsk.)
So, we tanned
And played in the water
Tanned somemore,
Played in the water somemore
and played somemore..
Hit the showers
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Shall talk about one particular convo in detail. SUPER INTERESTING!
C:*scribbles in the sand, "Property of Char" in a valiant bid to convince J that the area was our territory!*
J:"OH MY GOD! THAT WAS SO CLICHéD LAR!!!!"
Kid playing nearby:"OH MY GOD! THAT WAS SO CLICHéD LAR!!!!"
C:*snigger*
J:*wades in the shallow water ahead of Char....*
C:*went maddddd! (hates tow huay sand)*
C:*runs to the water!*
J:*braces himself, anticipating the oncoming,fast approaching Char....*
C:*trips on twig!!*
J:*....*
C:*SPLASH!!!!*
J:*....*
C:*nervous heh heh heh*
J: "What was THAT all about????"
C: "I wanted to dive and swim away to avoid the tow huay sand!"
J: ....
C:*changes the subject*
"Hey.. did you know that a kid said the same sentence, "OH MY GOD! THAT WAS SO CLICHéD LAR!!!!" after he heard you saying that??"
J: "Is it? I didn't hear that lar!"
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Then there was the guy in red shorts...
We both found it so damned amusing to watch him hold his loose shorts up
...EVEN WHEN HE WAS KISSING HIS GIRL!!
The evil Char crept out when the both of us were heading to the showers..
Char plotted to yank his shorts off when he didn't notice
(like when he was in the middle of kissing his girl. HEHEHE)
-------------------------------------------------------------------
In conclusion, the day ended on a happy note, at Compass Pt.
(except for some little events...)
- J put the WHOLE takobachi ball into his mouth *ow!...hot!*
- J was continually plagued by his worst nightmares...KIDS!!!!
***************Highlights of the day********************
Sentence of the day: "MY GOD!!! THAT'S SO DAMNED CLICHéD LAR!!!"
Factoid of the day: 965 - 111 = 854!
Sinfully saccharine-sweet event: Holding hands while tanning
Jibbing of the day: 'Navel button' and "What could happen if there was a ship/bumboat out at sea called 'the Princess Char'...."
Crazy thing char did: "levelling her torso and navel button"... With sand.
Clumsy char: too many to list.
J's most used action: the 'DOH!' expression.. when Char is clumsy.. he slaps his forehead and closes his eyes..
Nicknames for the day: BOO BOO
