the haagen daz tribute (of sorts).
curiously... out of all the things tt we did yesterday, the most memorable moment was sitting at the brown table outside the nus co-op facing you; eating from a tiny cup of haagen daz belgian chocolate ice-cream - mirroring the one tt you were eating from.
haagen daz is ridiculously-priced in singapore as compared to the states and canada, which is the only reason why we don't eat it tt much here. but i suppose it does hold a special place in my heart, even if i never really ate it tt much there either.
i equate haagen daz to indulgence. or rather, your indulgence of me. curiously, the 2 other most memorable times tt we had haagen daz, was at tofino and the rockies respectively. the first occasion was after my spectacular tumble and fall from my bicycle, where i'd sustained remarkable orh chehs and in addition to tt, sprained my finger. besides looking so worried for me when i was in my hysterical state of laughter, you braved the rain to get me spiderman band-aids to cheer me up (being injured while on holiday a few hundred km from vancouver is not a very fun feeling), and later you bought a whole tub of haagen daz strawberry cheesecake ice-cream for us to eat while we watched tv after dinner in our slightly-overpriced motel.
the second occasion was up in the rockies less than a week later, after a day of snowboarding in banff. where besides my 360 degree triple flip-and-tumble routine, i also cut my thumb and had it bleed all over the snow coz the blood couldn't coagulate, thus feeling absolutely miserable before 4pm; you once again cheered me up by walking to the convenience store outside our motel to get a tub of haagen daz strawberry ice-cream to eat while watching tv (coz besides boarding, there wasn't very much else to do tt we hadn't already done).
you weren't indulging me today. it was sort of a chocolate craving after a day of well... a little bit of running around with you being sweet enough to accompany on my book-buying errands in preparation for school. one of those things; mundane enough to be forgettable, yet strangely not. i suppose because of the association our memories sometimes make.
and haagen daz ice-cream and you... tt is one association tt my memory now makes whether i realise it or not. i don't love haagen daz all tt much, but because of you, you can say tt i do appreciate it a lot more now.
as your indulgence of me.
now playing: hotel costes - cafe de flor
