Its 12.24 am on my computer clock right now. So technically, what I'm writing now is a bedtime story. For who to read you might ask. Why, for you of course. But who is the "you" you're referring to NT? Ah, only the person concerned will know who.

Warning: Following first paragraph may be too mushy for your liking. Skip the last 2 sentences if you're suffering from diabetes or you just plain don't like mushy stuff.

Right then, on to business. So I spent today at Dear's house, helping her bake the cornflake cookies for CNY. I'm quite sure you know what cookies I'm talking about. The first batch of cookies were too buttery but from the 2nd batch onwards, I've been addicted to it and I can't stop eating it. Yes, I've also taken a container back home for me to gorge myself silly on it. Enjoyable day it was, helping dear with the cookies though I made a bit of a mess of the wrapper at times. But hey, I seldom help out in the kitchen and so I'm not very good with all this.

However, I do believe that if dear is gonna bake regularly(which I sincerely hope she does) then I'll just have to familiarize and equip myself with some basic skills so i'll be able to help her better. Why go through all that trouble? 1) She can bake delicious stuff which I love to delight my tastebuds with and 2) Its fun to bake with her and I enjoy helping her. From the crushing of the cornflakes to the arranging of the cornflake cookies(I know its simple tasks) to even the time we spend waiting for the cookies to bake, its simply magical every minute I spend with her. She might flare up or get upset and generally slightly cranky(like she did for awhile during baking) but I'll still want to hold her and I'm ever so reluctant everytime I have to let go of her. Such strong feelings are hard to come by for me and I know she can feel that I care for her even though I haven't said certain words yet.

A-hem, ok. I may have gotten abit mushy there but well, I attribute it to the movie which I just caught with dear on Friday(which incidentally marked our 2nd month). The movie title? Away From Her. Its only shown at the picturehouse and I would recommend that for those wanting a girly romance story or some action blockbuster or some horror movie, well you're be wanting to give this a miss. Picturehouses shows are seldom huge blockbusters but they usually are meaningful shows which allow one to delve into deeper thoughts about the realities of life. Away From Her is critically acclaimed by many and its not hard to see why. I'll not go into the storyline cause you can easily search for it on the net, so I'll just give my humble opinion of the show. Its a show worth catching honestly, though it may be slightly confusing at the start. Its demonstrates love and how some bonds and feelings are meant to last even though it is broken. Sounds confusing? Well, it is till you watch the show. You'll get what I mean.

For your reference, this is the synopsis and rating of the show. It got a freaking 95%!!!!

I'm still searching for some mahjong khakis cause I have to practice my mahjong or it may get rusty. I'm new to the game(what some of you might term as a newbie or a noob) and I'm afraid I might forget the rules if I don't play it for too long. However, playing with too experienced people will also just be a stairway to bankruptcy so I'm hoping to play with people who are not that good but yet do know how to play. Any takers anyone? Haha, its easy money to win from me you know.

Ok then, I'm quite tired already so I think the story ends here. Btw, Man Utd just drew with Sp*rs so that means Arsenal are back on top of the table where they rightfully belong. And I do not have lessons on Monday but I do have to attend a compulsory feedback session which will take just 15 minutes. A bit of a bother really. Alrighty then, I'm off to bed and so should you, cause the story ends here.

Goodnight all!


If you're leaving will you take me with you
I'm tired of talking on my phone
There is one thing I could always give you
My heart will forever be your home
