if my heart was a house you'd be home.

Love is always, always in the air.

Dear friends, Chinese New Year is just 3 weeks away! Have you begun stocking up on those pineapple tarts and bak kwa yet?

(sidenote advert: if any of you want Fragrance Bak Kwa at a discount, pls get back to me by 31st Jan!!! 1kg will be packed in plastic boxes while 500g orders will be packed in paper boxes. SUBSTANTIAL DISCOUNTS)

OK anyway. some of you would have started mulling over what to give your significant other for Valentines' Day -- A day I have not celebrated in... 3 years. I think. The last V-day I celebrated was a mess anyway.

And yes, I am dedicating this post to all the singles. It will not be a sour and cynical post. While you lovebirds are sneaking out of the house on Da Nian Chu Yi (First day of the lunar new year) to meet your significant other, I will be playing mahjong with my family at my Grandma's house. and winning a hell lot of money. I will be darn happy!!! (and no, I am not being sarcastic)

That's why I love this year's Valentines' Day.

It is always during festive occasions that I celebrate, instead of lament my (ill) single fate. :)

And yes, to all you singles out there, aren't you glad that you don't have to spend a bomb on your significant other? Because I know, when I get a boyfriend, I will spend a HELL lot of money on him.

I have already thought of all the V-day and birthday and xmas presents I will be lavishing on my future boyfriend. (LUCKY I don't have one :D)

So friends, don't worry about me, I'm ok with being single. During festive seasons. I'd very much prefer to spend the money on myself. Because I love myself SO much.

Then again, before you all start labelling me as a money face (which I know you know I'm not), love is more than expensive presents.

The greatest gift anybody could give is the gift of time.

If you ask me what's my idea of a perfect Valentines' Day gift, it's someone who can spend all his time with me.

Love,

Wensi

(stay tuned for part 2. I've suddenly been hit by a stroke of inspiration. OUCH.)

spontaneity is a must. for now, it is definitely at the top of my list.
randomness can pass off as spontaneity sometimes.

but spontaneity is still preferred.

wensi is feeling under the weather.

WHY CAN'T I HAVE A SATURDAY WITHOUT CCA. ):

i just wanna curl up in bed all day long.

maybe we're not meant to be

2:41 AM

it's like one step forward and two steps back

no matter what i do you're always mad

and i

i can't change your mind

it's like im tryin' to turn around on a one way street

i can't give you what you want and it's killin' me

and i

i'm startin' to see

that maybe we're not meant to be.

----------------

ok it doesnt really mean anything to me. it's just a song that's been in my head for ages. i just needed to type this somewhere. and typing it in a msn convo window would just freak yongxian out hahaha.

to some very special people:

9:58 PM

"i love 06S6D."

I just wanna say it again. and I can't say it enough.

they're the only people I can be myself around. and they are the only people who don't find me irritating although I always think I am.

and thankyou to some who make my day in different ways. in ways smaller than you would expect, and in ways that they themselves don't even notice, but in ways that mean the world to me. :)

you all know who you are.

although there are some who simply.. can't be bothered.

but that's fine. i love you all the same.

will you still love me, tomorrow?

2:40 AM

will you still love me,

when i start nagging at you more than you can bear

when my waist grows bigger than my hips

when my hair starts to thin

when my hands start to shake

when I can no longer sketch

when I can no longer sing

when I can no longer dance

when I can no longer go on long walks with you by the river

when I can no longer cook nor clean

when the children have to take care of me instead

when my skin starts to sag, when my hands are no longer smooth

when I can no longer amuse you with my witty comments

when I can no longer laugh without choking

when we argue more than we speak

when I least deserve your love?

will you still love me, tomorrow?

it's always scary to grow old. but it's even scarier to grow old with somebody. the fear that he/she may not love you tomorrow.

apologies for the totally random cod (xue3 yu2) photo. but it's very awesome. i think i tlooks like a heart shape here. it's this cod dish from crystal jade kitchen(: thankyou for the treat mister handsome! I think i must have gained an instant kg from that meal. next time let's just stick to 2 dishes. whee.

the final letter.

1:58 AM

Dear you,

I used to love receiving your letters. They were always full of happiness. They always made me laugh.

This time, I'm not looking forward to receiving your letters at all. Because I know what you're gonna say. I know exactly what you're gonna say. And why you're taking so long to say it.

If I told you that I knew, and I know everything you mean to say, can you not write this letter? Can you just leave it be?

Maybe the postman will misplace your letter and so I'll never get my answer.

But wait, even if I don't read your letter, I've already got my answer.

So please.

Love,

absence kills everything.
