i had my first taste of lovers bliss this year yesterday at benjamin's wedding. held at the au jardin les amis in the botanic gardens, it was also the first time i attended a cocktail dinner and wore a black dress to a wedding. the whole event was really very western. the solemnisation, exchange of vows, and following which it was buffet all around.. with waiters going round serving you food and guests could choose to linger around the area outside or be inside. it was a real exquisite restaurant too! i'm sure it'd cost at least $150 per head for a dinner there.

vincent joked about observing a minute's silence at 6pm, together with the rest of the country. but when it was 6, we were busy talking. *grinz*

it was very nice to see everyone.. the tennessee tornados. sometimes i look at them and see reflections of my growing up years. i've been with them since i was what, 13? and now i'm gonna hit 20 in june and i juz feel so.. different now. it's as though lots of things have changed. but maybe it was my choice too, to let them all change. promised to go down to jam sessions more often, but given my timetable now, it'd probably only in april when i can do that.

oh yes, and i broke my favourite pair of heels! i now have to be on the lookout for a pair of black strappy heels.. the bottom juz came off, and the edge of the heel kept rubbing on the walking surface. it was bearly comforting.

i left about 4 hours later, choosing to go home on my own instead of asking for transport. and chose to take the bus instead of taking a cab. i juz wanted to walk around the gardens first. been so disturbed lately.

have you walked around the botanic gardens at night? it's so serene & there's this tranquility that greets you as you continue walking around. in the day, it's so crowded with people over the weekend especially, that it just loses the quiet appeal of the garden. sometimes. i looked up and saw lots of stars and i thought to myself that it just made the whole setting even more romantic. saw the spots that i pointed out in the past when i came with friends, that would make a great setting for a romantic picnic dinner for 2. and also with the violin and the swans swimming by the lake.. even more romantic.

started thinking about everything that's been happening in the past few weeks. some of them are good ones, others weren't so. the good thing was that i just didn't let it bother me for too long and too much. the projects are starting to freak me out a little, and the assignments.. feel so inbalanced! thank goodness for my friends who have been soooooo encouraging.. especially serene & joanne! always can sense something wrong when we talk and always take the time to let it out of my system. as the week begins again, i pray that things would work out finely once more. if not it's gonna be a long road to the end of the rainbow.
