We had a wonderful time today!
We went to Batam for a buffet lunch at Seoul Garden with one of our friends from Batam, then went for a 2 hour body scrub and massage, before heading back to Singapore. Then we watched Benjamin Button – which is a pretty interesting show, although I think I preferred Changeling starring Angelina Jolie.

In the midst of all that, we went to get my ring altered to be a size smaller – I wanted to just exchange it for a new one (since he just bought it yesterday), but all stores were out of stock for that particular ring in my particular size So I have to wait for another 2 weeks before I get it back.

My theory as to why that size is out of stock is that most people wear single diamond rings on their fourth fingers, which is probably around that size, whereas I am wearing it on my third finger (because I am keeping the fourth for engagement and wedding rings). Hence, I believe my fingers are rather slim since my third finger is the same size as most people’s fourth fingers.

HAHA. I want my ring back!!!!! It is very pretty

It has been my best Valentine’s Day yet!

I promised Nat I would do the task she had posted on her blog – that was on 24 January. I’m still within a month! I’m supposed to list out all the things I like about myself. So here goes:

1. I like the fact that I rarely fall sick.

2. I like that I can outrun (not so much in speed, but stamina) most of the girls and guys I know.

3. I like that I always have my own opinion and never go with what the majority say, unless I agree.

4. I like being sporty. (Speaking of which, I got really ‘rolling eyes’ annoyed when someone saw me going to the gym the other day and asked ‘Oh! You’re still doing your exercise!’ I felt like telling the person at hand – yes, oh, you’re still eating lunch today? DUH)

5. I like the fact that I am intuitive under most circumstances.

6. I like that I am not pretentious and do not bad mouth people behind their backs.

7. I like that I can be quite endearing and funny.

8. I like that I can still do a split (it is a bit painful now)

9. I like that I can connect with people and make them feel comfortable.

10. I like that I feel I have grown as a person over the past few years and I will continue to improve myself until the day I die.

11.  I like that I believe in giving people the benefit of the doubt.

13. I like that I have been blessed in life and gotten the chance to meet many wonderful people who have changed my life in many different ways, and I believe will continue to change my life in many different ways.\

14. I like that I believe I will have the chance to change other people’s lives, and look back on life at the end of the road and say that I have lived a life of significance.

Works!

I made sure to drag him past every jewellery shop we passed by…

I gave him a card with a diamond ring picture on it for Valentine’s Day…

And I now have a pretty new diamond ring with 6 little hands holding the diamond in so it won’t fall out…

But even though I told him about three times that my fingers are not as fat as he thinks they are, and I told him the exact sizing,

He bought the wrong size.

So I can’t wear my new diamond ring yet

So sad…

And since this is not considered an engagement ring,

It means that sometime in the next 2 years, I’ll be getting another one!

YAY!
Diamonds are a girl’s best friend. In more than one sense of the word.

I love you! Happy Valentine’s Day
