:: A pleasant surprise ::

Hmm...How time flies. A blink of the eye took us to our third year together.

I still can remember vividly how we started, how he flew to Sweden to look for me, how we spent the early part of our time together in a foreign country. But for those we know me well, you will also remember the rough times I had been through with him. For about a year and half, I had been very unhappy with him. More often than not, my pillow would be wet with tears. Thinking back, the countless squabbles and fights we had still pain my heart as I write. Then came a time when I think I could perserve no more coz of his non-chalent attitude. A breakup would be a better option for me.

Apparently, that didn't happen. If you'd recalled from my earlier postings, he promised to change when he realised I was serious about leaving. I decided to give another shot, with very little faith in him. Little did I know, he meant every single word he said. He really changed completely. Eerr...oh well...perhaps a good 80%. And so we have been living happily since then. I'm contented.

So this year, I made him plan what we should do to celebrate this day together. Once again, I doubt his capability in this area coz he's really a block of wood!?!?!?!!? Nonetheless, I gave him a chance to prove otherwise... while I'm all prepared for a disappointment.

He refused to tell me where we were going and left me guessing, which was, indeed, very annoying! He purposely dropped many misleading hints to get me thinking about something else. I acted like I couldn't care and passed nasty remarks like he would really disappoint me, etc. However, the fact is I was dying to find out. Yet, I'm so afraid he would ruin it because of his inability to plan a nice day.

He came about an hour and half late. No matter how beautiful the day was, it just turned dark on my side. I was sooooo furious that I gave him a dressing down. But he just dragged me and said he would explained later...which got me angrier! Then, he said we'll eat in Orchard road, so I agreed...then he turned into Vivocity and said we'll eat there instead. We parked at the hawker centre carpark and I told him I wanted eat at the hawker centre. I didn't give up. I kept pressing him for an explanation on why he was late, but to no avail. After lunch, he said we'll go over to Vivocity to buy drink... But but but...i told him we could buy at the hawker centre. He just "aiyah...fjhkjbfjkw245678" and dragged me there. Hmm....suspicious! We went up to the third storey. "There's no supermarket up there lor!!!" I said. He hurried his foot steps and bought 2 Sentosa Express tickets.

"OOoOooh...... we are going to sentosa???" I said sheepishly. "Don't tell me you booked Rasa Sentosa?? (*smile*) Oh wait...you won't...you so stingy and unromantic.... OH NO!! Don't tell me you booked the NTUC Chalet?? the Kampong HUT ONE????(*panic*) My mind was going through all the most unromantic situations he can come up with... It didn't help when he just played along with me. I was fully prepared for a disappointment now.

We took the beach tram and headed towards the NTUC Chalet direction. "oh god..... this is for real...." I kept thinking to myself. However, at one stop, he pulled me out of the tram abruptly and in front of me, I was confronted with a very new and nice building. Hmm... it says... "Siloso Beach Resort". "We are going here? its new? how come i never see this before? you sure?? Where are we going?" I babbered on as he, once again, pulled me to the front door, without answering any of my questons. We took the lift to the 8th floor. "Heh? how come u no need to check in? Why u dun have to go to the reception? where is this place?" I continued.

"Aiyah, we are going through here to get to the NTUC chalet lah...its just beside it" he finally said.
"WHAT??? u must be kidding!! There can't be a through road here... hmm... then again, how did u know? U bluffing me riiiiighhhhhtttt???" I grinned secretly and my heart pounced rapidly.

As we came out of the lift, he just kept walking and suddenly stopped at a room and opened. I was taken aback and followed him through, smiling from one ear to another. The moment I stepped in, I noticed the stairway. "WHAT!!?!?! Its DOUBLE STOREY???" I dashed up the stairs with excitement. "Its an open-air Jacuzzi!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" I screamed.

I quickly ran down and jumped on him and gave him a bear hug!

As we went up again to take a closer look, I noticed there were candles on the floor. Stupidly, i said "hey..someone forgot to clear their candles here...." I opened the door and found a bouquet of flowers on the deck chair. Another surprise! Now i remembered where these candles came from... heehee. It wasn't leftovers. How silly.

Then he explained to me he was late coz he had to come here to check in first. Hee...whatever. I'm not angry already. Hahhahaa...I'm such a typical bitch, ain't i?

Appreciate what he had done. At least, I am 50% convinced that he's not that block of wood after all, that is, if he wanna make an effort. Hahahaha. Why am I complaining? What more could I ask for? Hahaha...

Maybe to some of you, it wasn't a real romantic deal. But to me, it was sweet enough.

Love you baby.
