My birthday came & went just like any other day, & I like not making a fuss out of things anyway. The only difference was the bombardment of sms-es from friends with their wishes & it's nice to know I'm remembered.

X spent the day with me just doing regular things - we caught 2 movies, '500 Days of Summer' followed by 'Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs' & both were pretty good. I'd give both a 3 and a half stars! 'Cloudy' was my 1st 3D movie too - but I kinda got dizzy from the effects afterward. I'm so not paying extra for a 3D movie next time cuz I didn't really feel that the effects were that fantastic.

On the other hand I really enjoyed '500 Days of Summer'. It was sweet, funny, sad, somewhat philosophical all at the same time. Although the one part I didn't like was the ending cuz I'm a sucker for typical 'happy endings' but I acknowledge that ending was essential in order to bring across the message behind the movie.

I think I learnt that things are nvr really within our control no matter how much we try cuz the only constant is change. Too many variables, known or unknown, comes into play and there isn't any way of predicting outcomes. I think I made that mistake of trying to control what I couldn't by trying too hard. Whilst summer may be great, there is beauty in autumn too. We just need to see by opening our eyes.

Enough of my rambling...just go watch the movie. It's really great.

X & I are going for a short 'staycation' at Sentosa next week^^ I'm really looking forward to it cuz we have not had quality time together since our HUGE fight that almost took him away from me. Now I just want to enjoy the moment - be it holding his hand, lazing on the bed, or soaking up the sun on the beach.

I just realised that I actually sound mushy in my last paragraph. HAHA!

I can't help it...I love the guy & he loves me too=p
