My crazy, fun-filled week started on Thursday afternoon when I accompanied babe to Parkway.
3 missions: a) Last minute search for a student's costume (for the 2T1 concert)
b) Last minute search for OUR own retro costume (for the concert as well)
c) To bash up a jerk working at Parkway (for this, we brought Mr Fuzz along)

Well.....let me tell you something.
I hate last minute shopping. Pressure!!
We got the costume and leggings for the fashion show.
We didnt get any for ourselves. Mr Fuzz managed to buy this nice Topman tee. And he looked superbly good in that striped brown shirt he tried. Pheeewwiiiitt...
And nope.. we didnt get to bash that ball-less jerk up cos he wasnt there (Mr Fuzz didnt have the opportunity to make use of those muscles he was flexing all the way to Parkway)

Friday was hectic.
Had a visit by the baby mouse in our staff room.
Bloody hell.. it was right in front of my face! I nearly had a coronary.
Once the bell rang at 12.30.. we wasted no time in rushing out of the school.
(hey... this is like only the 2nd time this year we didnt have our weekly meeting!)
We went to get our retro outfit at Plaza Sing.
And get this... me and babe decided to buy the same baju for the concert. Wait! Correction.
She decided and I tagged along cos her excitement was so contagious...
Then we decided we HAVE to get these shoes from NOVO...so off we went to Marina Square.
And we finally convinced Fuzz to get the brown shirt that he looked oh-so-delicious in.
Then.. we thought, why not get our hair done... 60's/70s style.. ?
Rushed off to a salon at Compass.
Babe looked so cute with those curls on top of her head.. and I got a not-so-high beehive.. hehhe...
In the end.. we looked like some flight attendants of some defunct airlines.
Concert was so-so..
But it was fun anyways...
Took lots and lots and lots of pics.

I love my new-found friends.
They make my workplace so much more bearable.
This has been the fun-ness term in my whole 3 and half years in Punggol.
I am so going to miss Fuzz and Ida once they leave the school.

Well.. the night didnt end there.
Its 18th May, for goodness sake!
My darling fetched me from school.
He looked so dashing in that very expensive shirt we bought for... ermm.. Zaki's wedding??
Made our way to Pasir Ris Park which was very appropriate for such an occasion cos that place holds a special special memory.
We had a nice dinner by the beach.
Spaghetti cooked by my favouritest chef.. Shahreil Bakri.
Lovely.
It looked like it was going to rain, so headed back to the car.
Thats when the presents were given.
I love the presents!
So sweeeeeeeeeettttttttt...

For our first MONTH anniversary, which was like nearly 8 years back...
Shahreil brought me to Marina, with a guitar on his back.
We had a simple celebration. I gave him a jar of cookies I baked myself. And he sang me a song that he had composed.
It was a simple simple song with the sweetest lyrics ever.
He still sings me the song from time to time.
Fast forward ... 8 years later.
He gave me a CD.
In it, the very same song.
But this time round, it was a properly recorded one.. with drums.. guitar...back-up singers???
Hahahhaha.. GOSH!!
He went to such lengths for me!
He actually got Boy and 20 Dischanger to do it for him.
The music's so great and Shahreil's voice is lovely.. as always.
It reminded me of how long we've been together.
We were just simple teenagers back then.
With no money in our pockets.
Naive. Carefree.
So much have changed. We've grown up. He has seen me grow. I have seen him grow.
We have changed.
We are not so simple anymore.
We argue from time to time.
He irritates me. I irritate him.
He makes me cry. I frustates him.
But our love is still the same.
Sometimes we are so busy leading our own lives.
Dealing with our own unhappiness, problems.. whatever misery grown-ups feel...
That we forget about the simplest things.
Like the love we have for each other.
And the song reminded me of how simple it actually, really, truly is.. I love him.
And how much he loves me.

I cried buckets.
And Shahreil had a great time snapping pics of me crying. (bukan nak tolong kesatkan airmata )
And please do not post those pics of me teary-eyed and hingus meleleh2.

Sunday, was my turn to pamper him as I couldnt do it on Sat.
And I will let Shahreil tell you guys about that.
I do hope he enjoyed the day I planned for us.

I am so tired.. but happy.
Thank you to my dear dudes and dudettes for the crazy shopping spree.
Thank you to Mar who went to help Shahreil buy me the LaSenza lingerie.
Thank you to Boy and 20 Dischanger for taking the time to do the song.
And to the most important person in my life..
Thank you for loving me.

Happy 8th Year Anniversary.
