On the last day of 2013, I planned a romantic surprise dinner for my beloved boyfriend. I got my mummy and my uncle involved too, haha ooh sounds pretty big time eh. Well, I did give them a checklist of what to buy and stuff.
I met Yk pretty early that day. I was late as usual and he was angsty as usual but yeah whatever. We had lunch at his place, headed to town (two days in a row) because he is a complete utter shopperholic(?) for a guy, I swear.
And the whole time my mummy and uncle ray were like spamming my phone with details of ice cream flavours and brands, strawberries or not, different kind of candles, (I don't know what you call that but I can't freaking strike a lighter to save my life so) they bought me the press-down-and-light-up-lighter, bottle cap opener, chips or not, etc etc.
Well, so they bought everything for me, told me where the things were placed and all I needed to do was to sort of put things together for the finale.
When Mr Chua finally proclaimed that he was hungry, the plan started to take place. OMG I WAS SO FUCKING ASDFGHJKL EXCITED AND NERVOUS I COULDN'T CONTAIN OR MAINTAIN MY EMOTIONS DEEP INSIDE.
The Surprise:
We headed to Chili's (that was what we ate on our first date by the way and it was pretty damn good) at Clarke quay. It was my treat, so I paid and asked for takeaway. Then I told Mr Chua to wait patiently for the food while I go upstairs (the condo aka SOHO1) to run errands (yeah right).
I ran up and -omg I swear I've got like the sweetest family ever and it's no wonder I've got it in my blood too-, I mean just look at this:
I thought the surprise was for me if I didn't know better. Everything was almost set up, I barely needed to do anything. (My mummy got me fresh roses for decorations! I didn't ask for that in my check list! Nice one.)
I changed into my gown (just kidding), and started lining the extra candles for a romantic walkway-feel that will lead to the dining table.
I burnt the lighter *face palm*, thank god it was the second last candle. I'm such a klutz at times I swear. Then Mr Chua called to say food has been collected and I lied saying that I needed to shit when in fact, I was doing this:
Awww so fucking romantic I can't even..
All done and I ran down with my wallet only, on purpose. The first thing I saw was him eating onion rings from Burger King. Really, Yk? Really? Pig much. Nevermind, I exclaimed that I forgot to bring my bag so I had to run back before we could head towards our dinner venue.
When I ask him to follow me up you should have seen his face. Black like what and he kept eating in the lift. And nearing the apartment, I took over the food and ask him to open the door for me. He was super uncooperative I wanted to kill him there and then. Candle light dinner no more. Hahaha
But when he finally opened the door, I saw his face light up and everything, everything was worth it. <3
He walked along the trail and when he saw the table, he just went "WAH". Cannot uh his reaction last warning.
We had an awesome dinner, cuddled up on the couch with whipped cream, strawberries and Haagen Dazs chocolate ice cream.
Now thinking back. it was a moment I wouldn't trade for anything.
Then we met Brandon, YiYing, ShuTing and LiYang for fireworks viewing at the pool. It was beautiful. Finally Triangle and our other halves, a complete triple date for once, even the fireworks paled in comparison.
Later I brought Jocelyn and her friends up, Sherman and his friend up too. We drank and oh, jumped into the pool. Hahaha just Jocelyn, Glen and I.
That was how I counted down to 2014. I know it's going to be a good year for everyone. I just know so.
With love, Happy New Year and a very Merry Christmas everybody! :)
