THE BIG IF
if i could date you, i would
if you would love me, i would you
if it was more than this, i would do that
if we had been friends first, i maybe would try

i've dated all types, seen all sorts, and never loved one madly enough.

tdon and i went out; i didn't have the motivation to study today. but i promised myself the rest of the week shall be devoted solely to homework. anyway, it wasn't a date-date, it was a getting to know you kinda chillout,letsdoanything,andhaveawildtime sorta day. it's really the first time i've ever done anything like this.

we sat about, with no direction or aim or purpose other than to watch a movie. dinner was calling, and i recommended little india to eat with our hands. (thanks to praa for showing us that little shop - it rocked!) though it was just monday last week that i went, this time it was different. at 7p.m. on a sunday, everything is a lot darker.
i wanted to bring him to the scent shop but it wasn't open - dang. next time. i really really REALLY want to get that peppermint scent. i believe the word dee used to describe it was 'comforting'. was thinking about the mandarin, but i think it would attract the ants, and the bees and all other creatures in love with all things sweet.
next stop: bugis movie theatre which was only showing three films! like what the - ! we watched walk the line, starring joaquin pheonix and reese witherspoon. a little draggy (2hr15m). but if it wasn't shown, you would've not gotten the whole emotional overload. i think it is similar to the natalie wood on hallmark, but natalie wood may be slightly better. soundtrack is orgasmafantastic.

then i remembered, c.a.n. cafe opposite bugis. (lexie brought me there the first time we went out, that was one year ago. time does fly faster than superman.) he loved it - his dad's a collector of all things older than old. and this particular shop/cafe had LOADS of oldies, from posters to newspapers, to ice kachang machines, to even traffic lights and HMV records from the 60s, 40s even! and all, by the way, are original. : ) when he walked in, there was nothing brighter than the glint in his eyes. all i could do was watch how this guy who stood before me was taken on a ride into this world of mismatched pieces of time, and be happy.

here's a toast to all things new.

some might call me the ultimate sagittarian; free-spirited and whatnot, but i don't believe in horoscopes.
