A year older than yesterday.

I forget how old I am. Like seriously. After 35, I stopped remembering. I had to actually ponder for a moment... I am thirty-eight today, but I feel just like when I was thirty-seven.

I had dinner with the boyfriend last night, at Pizzeria L'Operetta, although we had intended to eat at Spizza's on Club Street. We didn't manage to leave work early and had to end up parking a distance away (Tg Pagar!) to walk to Club Street (because Friday nights are a horrendous time to be out, especially at areas where people predominantly hang out to drink!), only to be told there were absolutely no seats available. I swear I would have dropped to my knees from the hunger, if not for the piece of cake from Melody that morning. So we retraced our steps to where we started, while stuffing our faces with the cake :)

saved by Melody's cake from Starbucks!

That's how we ended up at Pizzeria L'Operetta. Only to have the boyfriend tell me this was one of the other spots he's picked for dinner. And I wondered why we had to walk all the way to Club Street in the first place. He's cute like that.

According to the "research" he's done online, this place supposedly serves good pizzas. Somehow, the Bella Napoli we had didn't turn out fuck-awesome and the dough was kinda chewy. But I liked how they topped the pizza with generous chunks of Mozzarella cheese!

We think we might give this place a second chance. The dessert was yummy though. Got me wondering how to whip up a Panna Cotta!

So there you go - that was last night. Back to today... the boyfriend came by and surprised me with a little gift! I totally wasn't expecting it because I already had the expensive Baby Belling for Christmas! It's another Thomas Sabo charm to add to my "work theme" collection. I haven't had a chance to snap a picture of it, but this is what it looks like:

I thought it was thoughtful of him to actually work around a theme. Ha ha ha! See, to date, he's given me the mobile phone charm and the laptop charm:

Come to think of it, I do actually prefer the silver charms vs the more colourful ones... looks like it's time to re-org what's hanging on my bracelet!

I also received a Coach bracelet from the 2 dollies this year. Also haven't snapped pictures of it. Maybe tomorrow. Speaking of which, I have to make a trip to Zara to exchange a piece of clothing I bought today. It's really frustrating to have to head back to the boutique for an exchange because I failed to notice that fucking big tear! ARGH! I'm just glad this wasn't a sale item, otherwise trying to get an exchange/refund would have been a bitch.

Till tomorrow...
