feeling loved

i had a really good day with mel yesterday. i made a picnic of ham and cheese sandwiches, salad, muji milk tea and sushi rolls, and my new concoction: fresh strawberries on marmalade toast! - for dessert.

we drove to sentosa, walked down to the edge of siloso beach, laid out our mat, and unpacked our picnic basket. the sun was going down early, and the clouds were a bit menacing, but not too bad. nice breeze too...

had fun taking pix of each other eating the feast =D hee... it was very nice and ... comfortable? i dunno, just felt happy and carefree and satisfied with the food and company.

spent most of the time chatting... watching the groups of teens playing frisbee or soccer around us... eavesdropping on their conversations (haha!) and ... just relaxing.

then it started to drizzle a bit, so we headed to new zealand ice creams nearby for shelter. i had a rum-and-raisin milkshake! mmm.. yummm.... talked a lot more.. it was good to be real, to share our feelings, our dreams, our principles. i think we are definitely very different people, but i'm so thankful we can share like that!

finally headed home quite late in the evening... it's at times like these that i feel really blessed, really loved, really special. =)
