Something fun... finally!

Something fun... finally!

I really should apologize for the lack of posts. The only update I can give you is that the job has extreme ups and downs and I am still very much the same drama queen you know me to be.

Work is hardly an occupation that involves *saving the world* and yes, I do still struggle about having to balance corporate commerciality and idealism. Anyway, being paid does feel good and I shall not carry on with complaints but to say that all is well (but not perfect... could always be better!).

Just do me a favour... don't ask me about work if you see me. I already work many hard hours a day and sometimes even dream about it. Sure, work gives me pleasure and fulfillment and in-some-sense meaning... but I sure dread the days that I am no longer a *relatively care-free student.

Frivolous activities are most necessary... like planning *Gallant's birthday. The surprise party is scheduled for the first week of October at a beach chalet.

Truthfully, Sentosa doesn't seem like the most *special spot on earth, but *Sheer has given valuable feedback that Botanical Gardens and Fort Canning will have me sitting around in pitch darkness and uneven wet grass.

So a late-night-beach-side-lantern-lit-picnic it will be.

Imagine this... a blanket (did you know SIA blankets make very pretty picnic mat and of course I won't have that rattan type mats!) pinned down by the weight of camp lanterns and candle holders. Surrounding the main setting will be spikes set up to hold my strings of ornamentals and twinkling lights and soft music(drat, need to figure out power supply).

His eight friends near and close will enjoy wines of white and red as well as bottles of lager (it is his birthday and he will have his beer). I'm also thinking of cocktails like sea breeze... and sex on the beach! We will nibble on strawberries, cheese, nuts, treats... and most of all the birthday cake. Of course, there will be kebabs of chicken and seafood roasting nearby as hot savories are always appreciated.

One thing for sure, I would hate having to use plastic and paper for serving and need to think about getting my glasswares over to the chalet.

Perhaps we will talk the night away, perhaps we might play charades/taboo or take long strolls along the beach. His friends are nice (although some more giddy than average) but fun nonetheless!

Can't wait to carry out the deed for his birthday, especially if it is for one I love this much.
