i tend to want to sleep on the mattress these days cos then i can bring down the table lamp and drape my lime green chinese print cloth over my head and the lamp's head and read fitzgerald and today i did that again but instead i read the letters the sweet trumpeter wrote to me when we were in jc, partly stored up in the 50s vavavoom lady puzzle box. i think you are too wonderful to be true. the porcelain sailboat windchime is still in the box cos i think it'd be too noisy for my family but i'm sure when we have a little corner of the world for ourselves i'd hang it up, for sure. i would so love to travel with you somewhere. it makes me sad that i'm not there to experience the holiday with you and do what you're doing too, with the little perks thrown in like you combing your fingers through my hair and putting your arm around me at random moments. ooh ooh i can't wait to see you in those penguin polo tops you bought! i'm sure you will be looking so huggable.

this entry reads like a personal love letter. are you reading it from the australian connection over there? i wanted to swim today but it rained so i will swim tomorrow do or die. also i thought about you alot today that's why i was hiding under the silk chinese cloth with the table lamp reading the letters. choy-o-mine, i think we don't have enough pictures of you and me together.

i think writing letters are so romantic. i'd like to be able to read love letters from the past when i'm seventy, and have you write more to me then still too! i know i'll still be writing letters to you when i am that old, but i promise my handwriting will be magnified many times and neatly printed so you won't have to read aloud and have me stand by your side to correct you whenever you read something off wrong because my handwriting's too bad. haha, it is rather fun, and it's cos, there's so much more thoughts that spill into my head i can't get them into paper on time.

also, sweet trumpeter, i had kway chup for lunch with the daddy and the brother. it was delicious. what're you eating in perth right now?
