The Story of Us
Sunday, December 4th, 2005Some people say movies stories are like real life.. some people say we live like how we see in the movies..today, I see both.
I woke up and went to the library wanting to borrow a book call Blink by Malcolm Gladwell. The status on the computer shows that it is not on loan. But hell, i cun find it on the shelves. Suddenly I see a guy holding the book in his hands and I wanted to stalk him and grab the book from him or ask him if he is really going to borrow the book (i know i am asking the obvious, but that hope of him saying "yar, but you want it? Erm..you can have it first" still flickers across my mind. In the end I gave up and he disappeared within the blink of an eye.
I went to Bugis to have a walk and ate my nuggets and corn soup at Mos alone. Then Sam sms me and say Eileen can join me for shopping in the afternoon. So i went down to Taka to meet them. I asked Sam where to meet, and he said Tiffany. So I asked him "The high class one or the low class one." Cos there are 2 storeys at Taka. He said the low class on, so I walked in there and looked for him and Eileen. I dun see them, so I walked out again, thinking they might be outside the shop. But they are not. So i went in again. And this time Heaven might be playing a trick on me, as I saw my boyfriend right in front of me. He was looking at the jewellry in the shelves and I was surprised and puzzled why he was there instead of Sam and Eileen. At first guess, I thought Sam had arranged for my bf to be there and asked me to go there so that we could ‘bump’ into each other. But apparently, Sam did not know Ejun is gonna be there and Ejun did not know Sam wants to meet me there. Sounds confusing? Yes, it probably was, because the 3 main leads were absolutely stunned by the coincidence that happened.
Outside the store, i saw my ex coming up from the escalator and he was drinking Coffee Bean. He was with a girl and she looked like a Shanghainese girl (think David Tan?!) and I finally said Hi to him after like 2 years we broke up. I intro Yijun and they shook hands and I was like Help…my ex did not shake hands with my ex-ex and so this is my first time in the situation.
My bf wanted to buy me a present from Tiffany cos i was always walking in and looking at the pretty little things and he always say why see when you dun want to buy. Today he asked me to try and asked me what I liked.
I went to the 1837 collection and tried on several stuff, like Return to Tiffany oval and round tag pendent and Return to Tiffany Oval Tag Ring. I also tried the Heart Link Ring. Normally I would hang in there so much longer and try on everything. But today, we were only there trying for 10 mins and he said "Could you wrap these up" I am sure he felt that heart thumping when he said that and I did not look into his eyes for the entire experience there, because I did not want him to spent the money actually and somehow or rather, I want the whole trying experience to be like a never ending one that the objects will always be objects of desire.
But anyway, I went out feeling like I am in a hazy dream and I cun believe I actually got something from Tiffany. Lee Hwa is manageable, but I still cannot believe the Tiffany & Co feel, maybe it’s got to do with the whole American Dream.
Then Eileen, Sam, Ejun and I went to eat at LJS. Then we took a cab to Bugis while the guys went to Klassic. I had a game with Eileen after our shopping spree (controlled items) and we ate at KFC for dinner. Basically that’s how the day went. more interesting than my typical Sunday I would say. more so when tmr we are gonna go for Chalet…
