another weekend entry.
9 May Fri
went to work at the parkview office. a long day of handover duties. it was great to get away from the usual office though.
the weekend is finally here at 6pm and dearest came by and pick me. dearest is very sick – down with a horrible cough, looking so tired. we headed to orchard to shop for a gift for his mother cos mother’s day is round the corner. it was hard deciding what to buy because everything is either too expensive, or too cheap, or something that she wouldn’t appreciate. in the end, we didn’t buy anything and went for dinner instead at akashi.
it was a pretty rushed dinner as we were meeting jackson & sheena for movie at amk hub. we were catching the ironman. when we reached the place, we went to ztp to buy herbal tea for dearest’s cough. it was a powerful drink with the works – thick & bitter. in order to make dearest drink most of it, i had to promise to drink a bit of it too. haha.
ironman was a great show. action-packed and funny too. all of us heard that there will be additional scenes after the credits, so we stayed on after the show. quite a handful of people stayed on too. but the credits took soooooo long to finish! and the additional scene was like, wat, 10 secs long? hahaha… feel quite silly. can’t really decipher wat the additional scene meant – probably that there will be ironman II?
10 May Sat
i was awoken by dearest’s call at close to 11am. yeah – i sleep really late on weekends – lucky me. dearest was really sweet, came by to pick me to judy’s newborn dylan’s first month celebration. we picked alice and her 2 children too and arrived at the party around 1pm.
met gs and wife there and had a short chat. oh, and i must say, judy doesn’t look like she just finished confinement! gosh, she practically went back to her old self before pregnancy! so envious… i know i will be a fat pig after childbirth – it’s in the genes.
alice & i left the party very soon and i went to paya lebar to meet dearest. we went to bugis to have lunch and shopped for watches for the mother. decided not to buy though.
then we went swimming at nicholas’ condo. it was my first time swimming there. a really beautiful place – lots of different types of pools – even a 4m diving pool! we simply soaked in the water (cos i can’t swim - shame shame) and relaxed.
then dearest sent me to eastpoint for my hair treatment. i’m due to decide whether to sign on more packages with them. how? tough decision. $0, $1980 or $3980? wat will the verdict be?
late at night, dearest came to my place and picked me again. this time with alfred, jason & nicholas – going for night coffee. it was quite funny – dearest drove into the carpark with blasting music – windows wound down. the music sounded quite nice – until the singer starts… 我在夕阳下 默默我问浪花… haha… it is a chinese oldie! really old… recently famous again because 933 keeps playing it. oh my, dearest was blasting it late at night and attracted many turned heads. haha… was quite hilarious.
anyway, we went to xinwang hk cafe at siglap and ate and chit-chatted. was quite fun….
11 May Sun
today is a self-declared sports day.
originally we intended to go to east coast park with the doggies & jackson & sheena. but we changed our mind at the last min and ditched the doggies at home. instead we went for a fun-filled & tiring sports sunday.
after lunch at the lagoon, we went cycling! it has been a long time since i cycled. and i still suck at it. haha. dearest had to keep a constant watch for me. “turn left”, “overtake”, “careful”, “brake”, “slow down” – dearest was busy giving me commands, taking care of me, ensuring that there are no accidents. well, i never denied that my motor skills were terrible. cycled for a good 1.5 hour, great lower body workout – with a painful butt thrown in free of charge.
after cycling, we went swimming! again… at nicholas’ place. guess what, i made my first dive of my life! and it was after a long of persuasion from dearest. i can’t swim, so i was quite terrified to jump into a 4m deep pool even though i was sure dearest will protect me from any harm. so i dived. twice. it wasn’t that bad, except that dearest had to push me up above the water and i heard it was a really hilarious sight, like bouncing a ball. accordingly to dearest, it was quite 丢脸！haha. sorry my love, but i tried my best.
after swimming, we went to tampines for dinner. menu: curry fishhead (yummy!), sambal sweet potato leaves, hotplate beancurd, cereal prawns & prawn-paste chicken wings. wow… was a good dinner. full of calories & cholesterol. haha…
next, cheesecake cafe at siglap. had lots of fun there, talking about how our relationships work, and even played a silly game where we asked questions and tested each other’s memories of the relationship, or how much we know each other. it was fun! lots of laughter… haha
a really loooong day… tiring but time well spent…
lastly, to be very frank, the only reason why i have the energy to write this long entry after an exhausting day is because of something which dearest said.
after dearest dropped me off at my carpark and drove off, i realised that i left something with him. so i called him and he drove back to pass the thing to me. and he told me that when he first drove off, he felt a strange feeling of missing me and don’t bear to leave me. he said it pretty matter-of-factly, and i reached in to give him a big kiss on the cheek. i didn’t tell him, and didn’t show it, but his simple words really touched me a lot. the way it was said was so straight to the point, that it felt so true and sincere. and made me realise that despite our many years together, my dearest still kinda yearn for me, in the really loving sense. those words really meant a lot to me.
sigh… i am truly blessed…
get well really soon dearest! heartpain to see you cough so badly…
