The day I met the very "focused" SS
The final meeting today went well. By "well", I meant, no major disasters that left stinky trails after everyone had gone from the meeting room. Still I couldn't stop fretting about it like I always did. I wished I could be more cool about it because then I wouldn't have breathe, work and sleep in one long continuous bad dream until the delivery of outcome.
Then M surprised me with the sexy pair of Ted Baker shades which I blogged about sometime back because ... actually I didn't know why. I was so bothered about the meeting earlier that I forgot to ask why he thought I deserved the gift. He was a dear. I would make it up to him with a big wet kiss tomorrow.
My suits arrived. I loved one of them and got the wrong size for the other (it was too big). The store had a no exchange policy, so I guess I was stuck with it for a while. Until, perhaps, I grew nice and fat enough to wear it the way that it should be worn.

My suits are never arriving
Happy birthday to the most beloved entity in my life .. I look at you and still can't believe how lucky I am to have you. And don't think I don't think that every. single. day. Happy third birthday, love.
The biggest thing I hate about buying items online is the delivery time .. the lead time always seems like an eternity !

It was my favorite place
The zoo wasn't what I remembered it to be. It was like seeing an old friend after a decade and discovering that he'd aged two. It was a little unexpected (esp. since it was supposed to be one of the best zoos around ! ) and I was sad to see that. There were animals at certain parts of the zoo that seemed like they were left to fend on their own. They looked sorry and dirty and there was a huge bull that looked like it could be one of the most magnificent creatures around but was now just skin and bones.
Of course, there were all those other happy animals that were eating/ playing/ sleeping contentedly in their open concept habitats. I still loved the elephants, white tigers and polar bears. It would have been nice to take the tram but I missed the last one and wasted my tram ticket. Dad used to take many pictures of me sitting pretty on it when I was little.
The zoo wasn't all that bad. Even though I couldn't stop thinking of the poor neglected ones looking so resigned and wasting away in their stale enclosures (I was sure they weren't neglected per sec, even though they appeared to be so). I wished it wasn't the case, but I left the zoo feeling worse than when I first arrived.
I slept little and got up early. The day was deceptively clear (it was not; it was drizzling at intervals and extremely humid but I realized it too late), so I took a spontaneous trip down to the zoo. I was the only one there with neither a backpack with food and water, nor a camera and camcorder. Exploring without a single luggage was the best way to go (until I needed water/ food/ wished I had a camera to snap some beautiful moments lol).

Celebrating her b'day with 30% off my Borders book
(ps: I'm leaving in less than 4 hours, and as per my usual style, I've yet to pack. I'm not feeling too bad about that though.. I'm more upset that I simply can't seem to find my camera charger. How it sucks.)
Happy (belated) National Day.
