Back from Prague and Paris, the man brought home lots of stories to share, tales of food, dishonest cab drivers and of a night when it was -20°C. He said that -3°C was considered warm! Riiight. I definitely won't survive beyond -10°C. He also bought (among other things) a silver necklace for me. He grabbed it on the plane off the brochure. I like the selection of DFS items on SQ! There're a couple of good buys in there that I can't pass up each time I fly!A trinket, he said, to wish me well for my work trip. Yes, I need all the luck, sagacity and a dispassionate aura for the week. I'm not exactly looking forward to this trip. I hope it doesn't turn out to be a big joke.
Very sweet and very nice. BUT. I stared at it. "It's heart-shaped!" I stated accusingly. I'm not fond of hearts, ribbons and frilly things. Anything heart-shaped you see on me is definitely a gift. He was quick and shot back. "Well, I like it! Think of it as an arrowhead!"
Okay. Fine. It's quite pretty. I shan't be ungrateful. I shall wear it for a little while. An arrowhead it is. I hope it would symbolize that I'd be able to solve any problems during the week with focus and clarity.

How sweet! (:
U very farney lah...
Awww :)
Though I warn you about the pearls they sell on board. They're not pearls!
He is quick in browsing for the 'synonym' of the heart! Heart equals to arrow, hahaha.. acceptable lor..
somehow, once you pass that certain threshold (e.g. -5), the figure no longer matters. -10 or -20, it's just cold.
it's -10 outside and 22 indoors. it's 32 degrees of difference in temperature, but strangely it doesn't like that. if it's +10 and +42 then i'm quite the contrast is much much starker.
this is just an observation of mine, on a rather cold snowy sunday. heh
ice + kachunknorge: heeee.
dawn: really?! i didn't get them coz they don't look like no pearls!
celcilia: oh...no no. he just told me to look at the shape of the arrowhead, not arrow, which works for me.
kikare: oh dear. the complexities of cold and what we really feel. i'll take your expert words on it.
Imp - yes. My dad got them for me, and they're plastic inside.
Kikare - though I have to say, when you pop outside for a few minutes, it's always even toastier inside!
sweet thought.
nice when any man shops. they can spring surprises. ;)
