You know how when you were a little kid and you believed in fairy tales, that fantasy of what your life would be, white dress, prince charming who would carry you away to a castle on a hill. You would lie in bed at night and close your eyes and you had complete and utter faith. Santa Claus, the Tooth Fairy, Prince Charming, they were so close you could taste them, but eventually you grow up, one day you open your eyes and the fairy tale disappears. Most people turn to the things and people they can trust. But the thing is its hard to let go of that fairy tale entirely cause almost everyone has that smallest bit of hope, of faith, that one day they will open their eyes and it will come true.

"Me" Time

I finished work relatively early today so I went home, got changed and walked down to the city all by myself. It always feels good to have this day all to myself every once in a while. My "alone time" today is actually a secret because today's my shop-for-gelo's-birthday-present-day.

some "me" time at home: takeaway food and dvds

Earlier today, in the middle of discharging 2 patients and admitting another two, my mind was floating in some gift shop thinking of what to get him for his birthday. Suddenly, it was so hard to get him a present. SO during my break, i whipped out my pen and paper and started jotting down all sorts of gif ideas that entered my head.
1. T-shirt - too ordinary (because his sister's giving him a shirt too)
2. Jordan Rubber shoes - too expensive
3. Cologne/EDT - he already got a lot of it
4. Wallet - too mature
And then it hit me: Birkenstock!!! I'm gonna get him those comfortable little things, that he'll definitely looooove ---- 110% sure! (I fell in love with those things). So off I went and bought him his 1st pair.

Next on the list is a birthday card. I went to 2 different bookstores in search of the most romantic and heart-warming Birthday card with the most personal greeting. I read and browsed through 20 still, there's not a right feeling. It's either too cheesy or too mediocre. And then a neon-orange envelope caught my eye.



And I knew this is the card I'd hand to him on his 24th birthday. :) I can't wait!
