and this was the pendant i got for her bday. i had 2 choices in mind and thru the help of my frens in #cosplay, i managed to narrow it down to this one. its white gold with diamonds. not sure about the pointer of the diamond, coz i was in a rush. bought a matching 18k white gold necklace to hold the pendant. and she loves it! i feel so gd... and i was so anxious she wouldnt like it.. heh 

here are the buncha flowers i got for rach. the flowers i've been planning to get to compensate for the boo boo i had anticipated for but clearly i underestimated the size of screw up i had to make up for, lol. those flowers took me a long time to find, a florist even commented that she heard its sold out all around sg x_x. luckily managed to find.. lol and its worth every cent i spent on it... 

first time vday screw up

hm. i had not anticipated having to screw up vday. not at all. what did i do? the night before i even had a minor tiff with her. apparently she spent 3hrs odd to make chocolates for me. and wat i didnt even do for her? get her flowers. might sound superficial, but i guess these kinda small matters matter to her. i should have known..

usually i'd go all out, but due to budget constrains(my pay cheque was submitted after the collection time on sat, which meant it would onli clear today instead of yesterday)i onli borrowed $100 from a collegue. thinking i might spend too much if i got roses for her, i forgo that and pretty much screwed the mood. stormed home after dinner, reached her place around 8pm. gg huh?

sigh. my thinking was that i'd rather spend the $100 on other practical things than having to blow aruond $50 for a buncha flowers. apparently she argued that, i could have at least gotten a stalk of rose for her, but i didnt even get her anything. well done faiz. the one time u bothered to cut corners and not honour your principles and protocols, something like this happens. we quarrelled to the point where she wanted to break up. i guess last nite's tiff was still fresh. sigh.

being a perfectionist..i thought that if i wanted to do something right..i would need to get her the best buncha flowers, not just a stalk or 2. so i did nothing. oh well..tonight's gonna be my redemption.. i've made arrangements as to have her fav flowers delivered.. i hope i can find the pendant i'm thinking of getting for her and all... sigh..

wish my luck ppl..

site updated

FINALLY. some proper updates. some of my fren's blog links have been updated and new ones added. music's been updated too

its called Karma by my favourite metal band, Kamelot. personally i think this song is their trademark song, it depicts how they are in general. at least in my opinion that is. its one of their best songs(though the drumming's nothing much, cept uber 1337 double pedalling)

the following are the lyrics...

Karma

I am a king of honor
gold and glory
but every king must also die
have I been just and righteous
what is glory
I know I've torn and taken life

and here I stand
a small and simple man

who will trade his karma for my kingdom
a sacrificial rite to render truth
the fire in my soul rejects my wisdom
cause all you do in life comes back to you

I am a king in crisis
counting minutes
there is an ending to my reign
my sins have come to face me
I can feel it
that I have lived my life in vain

and now I know I'll reap
the seeds I've sown

who will trade his karma for my kingdom
a sacrificial rite to render truth
the fire in my soul rejects my wisdom
cause all you do in life comes back to you

am I mad
I feel so void and cold
who can tell
who holds the stories untold
tired and trembling
I am descending
will I have to stay here
and live this life again
