The tree said to the grass that grew next to it, "It is clear to me that you are so weak that even the grasshopper is too heavy for you. No wonder you are always bending down."
The tree also said that it was big and strong. No strong wind is able to blow it down. It thought that the grass would be much safer if it grew closer to the tree. It could better protect the grass that way.
"I am not afraid of the wind," said the grass, "I bend but I do not break."
That night, there was a fearful storm. The tree remained standing while the gr ass bent itself towards the wind. The wind grew stronger and pulled up the tree. The proud tree was thrown on the ground.
When morning came, the grass stood in the sun. It remained shiny and softly dancing in the wind.

Seeing my dear friends smiling after receiving and opening their respective gifts and cards for their 21st birthday make all the travel and haunting people for messages worth it. Though it is typical to say it's alright without the gifts, but I love seeing the curiosity, excitement, joy and appreciation. All these are just simply expressed in a matter of around 5minutes or even less.
HAPPY 21st BIRTHDAY TO JIAMIN, CINDY & NISHA!!!
Upcoming HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO JOANNA & CHRISTINA!!!

When a stranger asked (Cindy, Nisha and me), "Which school are you from?" For the first time we couldn't exactly answer his question. 3 friends in 3 different uni. After a minute of looking at each other, "Oh, we are from different schools." Well, if that question was posted like 9years or just 2 years back, it'd have been a reply in unison without a doubt. That's how long we've been in the same school and seeing each other minimum of 5days per week. Even longer will be someone from the same primary school to sec and then to college. And another who has been my friend for the 14th year. Cheers!

Ohhhhh I love the service at ROYCE @ Suntec. Reasons being,
1. Chocolates
2. Rather cute guys
3. Really polite
They are so nice la. Complimentary gift wraps (mind you, the guys can wrap chocolates really decently) and offer bigger carrier for all the chocolates so I don't have to carry too many small bags while putting the smaller ones in there.
But if you are asking them for recommendation, think at least once before taking what they recommend. I still have no idea how anyone can finish a bar of white chocolate.
This is the superb sweet one I tried. It has an interesting combination taste of cream and chocolate honestly.
Out of stock. Too bad.
