our anniversary came and gone... and truth be told.. i was slightly disappointed... it was my fault really... to impose my expectations on him... we are, in fact, embarking on a whole new journey together... and how can i compare him to an ex or to the boyfriends of others? i was expecting to be blown off my feet... with daisies that Tom Hanks gave Meg Ryan in You've Got Mail... with a ring that wf saved up so hard for on this particular occasion 5 years ago... with gifts that guys shower their girlfriends with on occasions like these... i was sorely disappointed... didnt feel important enough... not worth the expense or the trouble... (although i admit i never did anything for him for the occasion either...) when he realised that my joking tone of disappointment was no joke at all... i saw how distraught he looked... and i realised... hey... we're not supposed to be like any other couple... so why am i comparing us to others? him remembering the day... taking me out to eat at the places we've always wanted to... watching the movies we've been wanting to watch.. (and paying for everything...) is more than enough really... shallow me forgot all about the stuff he DID for me over the WHOLE of the last year... just because of things he did not do in one day... ...sending me home from town everytime even when his place is just 5 mins from town... ...paying for the expensive meals and leaving the cheaper ones to me, silently... ...watching movies like Chicken Little with me when he didnt really want to... ...walking aimlessly over the Esplanade - Fullerton stretch just because i wanted to... ...putting up with my childish behavior and not getting angry with me ever... ...teaching me my homework even though he had loads of his own... blah blah blah... day started off late... after my bout of disappointment curled up under his quilt... went to Marche because he wanted so badly to eat there again... only to find it closed for the day... adjourned to Billy Bombers instead... got nice boxed seats.. though the food was slightly below their usual standards... went over to PS to try find some presents for friends' 21st birthdays... then watched Wallace and Gromit... after i have been wanting to watch it for so long... dinner was at Brewerkz... to try the much talked-about burger... but the food were a let-down... or maybe because we were too full after the late Billy Bombers... burger and sandwich washed down with Golden Ale... *burp* proceeded back to town... for Narnia... decided to watch it at PS... coz it was the best place to go from Clarke Quay... movie was not bad... loved the little girl... though the hype was a tad too big... went back for 2 games of Monopoly in which we tied... update: he won a third game...boohoo! Zzzzzz... long day... no presents... no special things... just a lot of time spent together... being happy... other than the part about whether or not physical punishment is beneficial to wayward kids... i guess thats the best thing about being with the guy... it just feels so right... so good... Happy first year. (i think anniversary sounds cheesy...) ----Stef stopped rambling at 00:50 --Link to Post |
