what i’ve been up to

Filed under: bliss, choo, misc fun — kerensa @ 8:49 pm

i haven’t been blogging much because there’s nothing really interesting in my life except for the rings and date of engagement which i’ve updated in the other blog.

dearest has been very busy with his new career in the real estate industry and the good news is he closed a first deal 2 sundays ago! definitely a very strong morale booster. hope good deals continue to come by. remember, if you have lobangs, must recommend ok…

because he is so busy with work, i try to occupy my time and not bother him. so i’ve made a few new friends! it started with badminton with my colleague’s friends. then we also did karaoke, steamboat, basketball, dinners, pool etc together. and the happiest thing is, even dearest have met most of them a couple of times. i love it when dearest accepts my frens and vice versa!

i’ve also been hooked on buying stuff from US and shipping via vpost. mainly skincare stuff – must take extra care of my skin now that i have freckle-few face! and i’m happy to share that my skin feels and look great now with the vit c, anti-oxidant, sunscreen, apple cider vinegar toner and emu oil that i’m using (on different times and days of course, not altogether!) also ventured into mineral makeup which on the very first time i used it, dearest genuinely commented that i look fab! haha… i’m so going to buy more mineral makeup and brushes soon.

oh, and, i think the best thing is, dearest and i are growing. together, and in a good way (though we are indeed growing in the horizontal way as well). i’m not sure whether it’s a sign or maturity, or that we are getting mentally prepared for marriage, or that we are simply continuing to loving each other. although we do bicker now and then, both of us make extra effort to be sweet to each other and to spend time with each other whenever possible.

like tonight. dearest needed to meet a client but he didn’t want to see me being alone for dinner so he specially made time and had dinner with me. even ordered extra ingredients – my fav sotong for me. and he had this happy look when he sees me finishing the huge bowl of fish soup. and then bought potato chips for me somemore!

little thoughtful things that never fail to warm me. love.

when the simplest words mean the world

Filed under: bliss, choo — kerensa @ 10:07 pm

dearest & i were in the car waiting for his friends to arrive for dinner. he placed a pillow over my lap and rested on it.

熊天平’s song 最后还是会 was playing over the radio. i was singing along to the song while softly stroking dearest’s hair.

dearest fell asleep halfway through the song.

when dearest woke up, he said “i remember hearing you sing before i dozed off – that familiar voice and the familiar touch”. he said a bit more than this and i can’t recall the exact words.

but they meant a lot to me. a lot.

it’s amazing.

is this a sign?

Filed under: bliss, choo, misc fun — kerensa @ 1:46 pm

attended sherlynn (sheena’s dear sister) and jeffry’s wedding on friday.

when jeffry popped the champagne, dearest caught the champagne cork. effortlessly. it just came to him.
those at our table said jokingly that the next wedding is going to be ours.

ha… is this a sign or what?

dearest is complaining that i’m not blogging much anymore. well, there’s nothing much for me to blog about.

yeah, sherlynn’s wedding was heartwarming and lots of fun (we reached home only around 4am!) but we didn’t take any pictures of our own, so there’s nothing much to blog about. oh, except for the fact that sheena was so busy entertaining the guests, it’s like her own wedding instead. and jackson went around trying to get friends drunk on red wine, so it’s also like his wedding. ha.

yeah, we went to the ronald cheng & william su concert. but can’t blog about it because we didn’t take any pictures.

and, yeah, i had a new haircut. went to a new hairstylist who had quite a bit of attitude. asked me whether i want to get a new hairstyle and i said “anything”. then he gave me a magazine and asked me to pick something i like. i said i didn’t know what’s suitable for me and he picked out 2 styles, and then decided on one for me.

now… the hair looks korean. he almost layered off all my hair and now i have a fluffy head, and miserable strands of hair hanging from the fluff. heh. sometimes i find it trendy, sometimes i find myself looking like an auntie. it’s a thin line.

it’s liverpool’s big match tonight. yippee yeah…

hectic hectic hectic

Filed under: choo, work — kerensa @ 9:49 pm

i’ve been so so so busy. tiring, really.

IPL
i developed some rashes on my forehead. thought it would go away on its own but when it started to get more and more itchy day by day, i decided to see dr yeak on Monday, 4th day after the IPL. she said it was not uncommon and gave me a tube of mild steroids to apply. she also assured me that the freckles will drop off by Tuesday night.

That very night, almost all my freckles dropped off. now i have 2 to 3 freckles on each side of my cheekbone, just below the eye, and also the ones on my nose. the rest… ALL GONE! poof! disappeared… it’s amazing really.

for a while, i couldn’t get used to my ‘new’ face. the poreless, flawless, glowing cheeks. i felt… insignificant. strange right? i felt like i look like any other person on the street, not that i was pretty before, but more like i look really plain now.

of cos by now i’m used to it, and especially when the glow doesn’t last that long… day by day the glow is fading and the pores are returning to their usual size. that’s how long IPL can last. haha… but i’m pretty sure the freckles will stay away for a couple of years at least.

property
so dearest joined the property market 2 weeks ago. i’ve had some interesting times visiting the area which he decided to specialist in together with him. there was a lot of work to be done – designing flyers, collecting flyers, arranging for people to distribute them. downloading contact list and making cold calls to everyone on the list. taking photos and collecting information on the properties which dearest have on hand. editing those photos and putting them on the www for advertisement. and more and more and more…

lots of work. i try to help as much as possible (mostly admin stuff) and have been staying up late quite a lot. it’s not easy. and to top it off, weekends and public holidays are wasted because dearest will have to bring buyers for viewing. so the past few days, i’m pretty much on my own.

a little lonely but i’m adjusting to it. as long as dearest strive on and don’t give up, i’m sure he will succeed! everyday is a step nearer to our common goal. to my dear friends, you can help us too! pls look out for any of your friends or family members who are interested in selling, buying or rent apartments, houses or even commercial space (shophouses, factory, etc), and recommend my dearest ok… he’s new but i assure you he will try his best.

work
i was pretty unmotivated to work in the last couple of months. last thur & fri though, i worked late (7pm & 1030pm) and felt quite good. i guess it’s all in the mind. it was a busy day at work today as well, and i didn’t feel as unmotivated as before. i guess i shouldn’t be rash and keep thinking about giving up a good paying job right? hang on, hang on…

new hobby

Filed under: choo, misc fun — kerensa @ 11:52 pm

it’s mid week already! this week didn’t pass too slowly after all. i’m saying this only because i am on leave tomorrow! wahahaha… so it feels like the weekend to me. i love leaves, even if it means a 5% pay cut.

so the agenda tomorrow is to meet jackie for a really girly vainy session. we are heading to an aesthetics medical clinic for a consultation! i’m a little excited to hear how money can make me turn prettier. haha… IPL here i come, and freckles off you go!

but nope, IPL is not my new hobby. my new hobby is… SINGING!

ahem… that sounds so duh right. ok, not singing as in going-to-the-karaoke kind of singing (speaking of karaoke, i still haven’t shared about the new k suites at iluma!) but singing as in singing lessons.

YES! dearest and i finally signed up for singing lessons with music clinic! It’s a hefty $245 per pax for every 4 1.5 hour lessons. Not cheap… but i’m sure it’s worth it because it feels great to see dearest getting all excited over it. haha…

first lesson starts this saturday at 1.30pm, following which we will choose night classes on weekdays. something fun to look forward to especially when work gets tough, right?

oh, and music clinic offers keyboard lessons as well. i’m thinking of signing up for that as well. anyone keen to join me for that?

surprise surprise!

Filed under: bliss, choo — kerensa @ 5:13 pm

dearest called me this morning. at 7.30am. woah! that’s something new… hehe…

and he made my day because he offered to send me to work!

so i happily continued with my make up while thinking about what breakfast should we have at the market below before going to work.

15 min later, he walked into my room. with breakfast! i thought he bought them from the market. then he said he made it himself!

his 爱心早餐 just for me! absolutely delicious french toast! not oily at all but with a strong aroma of butter, plus lots of egg and just nice sweetness! with milk AND orange juice to go along…

*melts*

absolute love..

woo hoo!

finally, the weekend is here. soon enough.

daytime this week has been not-so-good. received sickening news at work. i’m going to have a new boss. the big boys up there decided to give the finance organization structure a revamp and move the teams around as they wish – like monopoly pieces.

i’m pissed about the developments. and i’m even more pissed about the lack of devlepments. this time round, i am not going to sit around and mope without doing anything. i’ve already highlighted my concerns to one level and if nothing comes out of it, i am going to escalate to the next level.

the best thing out of this is that i spoke to dearest about how i felt about the whole issue and he is supportive. if things do not improve, i might just throw in the towel. i can’t always hang around and be bullied just cos the big boys think i need this job very badly right?

anyway, i know i am being ultra cryptic here and you won’t understand much of it. originally i wanted to relate the whole thing at length and then lock it up but i’m just to lazy to do that. anyway, you are probably not interested in what i have to say about my work anyway. heh.

nightime, on the other hand, was not-so-bad! on wednesday, dearest picked me up from work and we went pak-tor-ing! it’s been some time since we’ve done that. dearest was dressed very smartly that night as he went for an interview earlier and maybe he felt very executive, so we went to marina and esplanade and mingle with the working class. ha.

dinner was at the glutton bay – steamboat in individual claypot style, cooked over charcoal, plus a mini bbq! it was rather special but the slow cooking time disappointed us a little (cos we were sooo hungry!). food is alright, not exactly fantastic but not bad enough to complain about.

then we strolled under the cool breeze, hand-in-hand… it feels great! to be able to spend time with someone you love in the middle of a lousy work week. and then we did something which we’ve never done before in our 7 years together! we went to 爱琴海!

i’ve been to the music cafe before with my ex-classmates but not with dearest. and dearest had always wanted to go. most of the times when we go to marina square together, we will walk pass, think about going in but never did. this time we finally did! yeah! it was pretty enjoyable… i think we might just go back there again.

i was so pleased by the mid-week dating that i slept like really really soundly that night… and… overslept the next morning! wahahaha…

work sucks. but i’m happy when dearest is around.

meeting the old pals later! should be full of gossips and complaints later… yeah! =)

it came and went

Filed under: around the world, bliss, choo, frens — kerensa @ 11:31 pm

14 August 2009 – two thousand five hundred and fifty seven days of togetherness.
it was our 7th anniversary. how time flies!
8 months ago i had imagined to myself that this day might be the day when i receive a diamond ring.
heh. the wish didn’t come true. in fact, we didn’t even celebrate the day with gifts, like what we used to do for the past 6 years.

but it’s ok! i wasn’t disappointed at all.

instead, we spent a long weekend with sheena and jackson in genting. jackson drove us all the way up, and back again! where to find such a selfless pal? so we spent most of the time gambling. wahaha…. no shopping, no rides – just eating, gambling, eating, gambling, sleeping and gambling again.

as usual dearest and i didn’t have much luck but we still enjoyed ourselves a lot.

we returned home on sunday and then at night, dearest and i went to harry’s at chjimes and watched the first liverpool match in the latest epl season. i have decided to join dearest in being a liverpool fan. hahaha… finally, like after 7 years! well, liverpool lost. but it’s ok. they are a strong team.

and today, i was on unpaid leave and dearest and i went to topone. guess what? we got ourselves like really high on martell. in the afternoon! hahaha… so we went home by evening time and crashed out.

after about 2 hours’ sleep, dearest woke up and went to the toilet. when he came back, this really hilarious conversation took place:

D: 我们的 dice 赢多少?
K: har?
D: 我们的 dice 赢多少?
K: aiya, 不要 talk cock lar
D: 我没有
K: talk cock leh
D: 我们躺在这里可以拿多少钱?

at this point in time i finally realized that dearest wasn’t joking
the conversation carried on for a little while before dearest himself realized that he was talking nonsense
and then we had a really really good laugh over this

die, my dearest is becoming a gambler! hahahaha…

thank you everyone

the past week sucks big time.

so last tuesday i felt the cold coming and took off early from work to see the doc. unfortunately my fav doc is not on duty and i consulted the other doc instead. he said he’d give me some antibiotics to be sure. once i reached home, my fever shot up to 38.3 degrees. i tot if i took my medicine dutifully and slept the whole day, i will be good to go to work the next day. instead, i was restless the whole night, waking every 1.5 hours and feeling feverish. finally i woke up the next day at 5am with fever as high as 39.4.

i called in sick again and went to the clinic to extend my MC. felt better in the afternoon but again when night time came, i turned all feverish again. the terrible fever cycle repeated itself and i woke up on thursday morning with 38.6 degrees. this time, i went to see the doc again, with a massive sore throat. and the doc had to switch my antibiotics and gave me more medicine.

i really dislike this doc. 3 years ago, he made me suffer exactly the same thing. started by giving me some useless antibiotics which gave me high fever on and off for 3 days, before switching to another range of antibiotics which then cleared my fever almost instantaneously! argh…

so i was on MC from tues to fri. wat a pain.

and the antibiotics made me feel all sick, without the fever. the lack of appetite, that horrible after taste in the mouth, the horrid smell through the nose, the unsettling stomach, the bloatedness, the vomit, the ulcers in the mouth, on the lips, the red and raw sore throat that hurts big time at night, the cough of yucky sticky yellow phlegm, etc etc. it was HORRIBLE!

i’m finally down to my last tablet of antibiotic now. hope all the yucky side effects (including HUGE zits everywhere over my face and tiny little rashes all over my body!) will go away tomorrow.

but in the midst of being sick, i’ve had a lot of concern from those who care, and i am very very grateful. you know who you are, thank you… all of you… =)

and i have to say, although the first few days were utmost difficult without dearest by my side, he definitely made it up once he is back. dearest has been most patient with the sickly me, including having bland meals with me and even tolerating my nonsense especially the few hours after i take the antibiotic. and for that i’m really really thankful. love you baby!

another weekend which passed by too quickly

Filed under: choo, frens, lim, misc fun — kerensa @ 11:54 pm

Friday 10th July

dearest set off to JB with alfred & gang and then picked me after work.
so we went to east coast park lagoon for dinner & beer
then off we went to… Marina Barrage! we wanted to go kite-flying (with a lovely huge lizard kite, courtesy of buck my colleague) but there was absolutely no wind!
what a bummer…

Saturday 11th July

a movie marathon day for dearest & me! FOC! cos we watched dvds at home.

first it was “Departures” – an academy award winning japanese drama

it was a slow movie… but dearest & i weren’t the least bored. because the story is touching. jaslyn, if you feel like dropping some tears, watch this, can borrow from me. nice and touching…

then we watched “Goal III”. dearest & i first caught Goal in the cinema and i absolutely heart Kuno Becker, so we watched Goal II on dvd which wasn’t as good as Goal, yet we still insists to watch Goal III.

but well, Goal III sucks.
firstly, Kuno Becker is no longer as handsome. because now he has hair
secondly, Kuno Becker is no longer the main lead. though his has the most exposure in the poster
thirdly, one of the main character died. just like that.

sucks. bad movie. thank god we caught it on dvd and not in the theatre.

so after 2 movie marathon, we went out to dinner and dearest braved the rain to ta-bao durians back home.

back home, we watched another movie! “12 Rounds”!

hmm… actually this is the second time we are watching this show. the first time, we fell asleep like 5 minutes into the show. it’s not a bad movie really… your typical action movie, like speed. but i have to admit i fell asleep again, and during the most exciting part! so… you can deduce for yourself how nice the show is.

so yeah… 3 movies in 1 day! wahaha… really no life huh?
it wasn’t that bad, really. lazing around at home…

Sunday 12th July

First things first.

daddy: what did you 2 eat last night?
me: huh? durians. why?
daddy: wah… damn smelly! it’s so smelly it woke me up. didn’t you hear me waking up to get air freshener?
me: LOL

funny daddy…

so dearest and i met up with jackson for some sports. i was the one who was kpo to suggest cycling followed by swimming. worse still, just as we were turning into east coast park, i suggested to cycle to changi coast road, cos it seems like the in thing to do – every now and then on the way to work i will see many cyclist along the long long road.

and i had to suffer from my words.

so we started from macdonalds. once i got seated on the bike, i knew it will be a bad ride. the seat is damn hard! butt hurts!

i won’t go into details but the ride was really really torturous. i was a bad cyclist to begin with – as in, my sense of balance is bad. i could cycle straight, but i can’t make a good turn. if i ever need to u-turn, i will need to stop and turn the bike around myself, on my legs. and i was always tensed up cos i was afraid of falling.

so, imagine a tensed up body, resulting in aching hands and wrists, cycling like… what… 10km?
ok, i dunno how long the distance is, really… but from macdonalds to changi coast road (somewhere before the changi exhibition center… i couldn’t endure far enough to changi exhibition center), and then back again… it must be like….. DAMN far, isn’t it?

anyway, i gave up. on our way back to return the bike, i gave up just before the bedok jetty. dearest had to ride his own bike and hold mine at the same time, while i walked to the food centre to wait for him to come and pick me up in his car.

wahahaha…

am i a loser or what? dearest couldn’t stand me. he thought i was being a baby. ha…
oh and did i mention that i couldn’t balance myself at one point and ended up scratching the back of my knee a little.
jackson was worse… we left him alone for a period of time cos i absolutely had to rest and i guess he was too bored alone, so he did a mini stunt to entertain himself and lost his balance and jumped off the bike. heard he scratched his leg & hand.

i think jackson will never want to cycle when i’m around. ever. hahaha…

after cycling, dearest & i went to soak in the pool at nik’s place. it was… SHIOK…

and then we met up with alfred & nik and had dinner… and then they decided to catch crabs. and guess what? for the first time, i volunteered to go home instead of joining them. tired… too tired… and my butt hurts…

i hope the gang is having fun right now… and now that i have completed this week’s task (of blogging!), maybe i can watch grey’s anatomy now? just 1 episode before i go to bed… just to satisfy my ‘craving’? yes?

yes. season 3 here i come! yippee!!!

6 July 2009

Desaru 5th to 6th July

Filed under: around the world, choo — kerensa @ 7:03 pm

i’m back!

desaru is a great place for… doing NOTHING! wahahaha…

it’s ok, i’m not complaining because i gathered as much before heading to desaru. i didn’t mention earlier but this trip is made with one sole objective – to sleep for a minimum of 10 hours, as advised by mr chua.

the reason why i chose desaru is because it’s probably the cheapest place. or so i thought. i was misled by the ultra cheap accomodation @ RM120 per night. but everything else is expensive!

just in case any of you guys wish to head to desaru to nua, try the website holidaycity.com. based on my research it has the cheapest accommodation at pulai desaru beach resort. RM120 (regardless of weekday or weekends) per night inclusive of free breakfast for 2 pax. i indicated that i wanted a king size bed, and we were given a huge room with king size bed + a single bed! cool! there’s a balcony too!

but the downside is, everything else is expensive. the return ferry tickets cost S$64 for 2 pax. and 2-way land transfer costs RM46 per pax.

it was a really do-nothing trip but dearest & i had no complaints as we had lots of time to relax. we basically just swim in the pool, play table-tennis, eat, watch TV (there’s channel 8 & U!) and SLEEP!

P1040804
see the dark clouds? the whole sunday afternoon was rainy. luckily we weren’t into sea sports or it would have been very disappointing.

P1040808
and here’s a cheery pic of dearest, soaking in the pool while the sun is still bright. cheeky face…

in the evening we paid a driver RM70 (expensive!) to bring us to sg rengit for seafood dinner. the dinner cost us RM179! but that’s because we ordered lobsters. hahaah… the restaurant was featured in channel U but we find that it is overrated.

back at the hotel, we watched tv in bed around 8 plus. by 9 dearest fell asleep, which pissed me off a little cos i was supposed to be the one sleeping for 10 hours, not him! i slept at 10pm eventually and woke at 8.30am. mission accomplished for me! but dearest surpassed me – he woke up later than me, and then continued to sleep again from 10.30am to 12 noon. sigh…

frankly, while there is really nothing to do there, i don’t mind going back to desaru again, especially if we could drive up ourselves. spending RM120 to sleep and swim… not bad… relaxing…

and, i can’t thank tracy enough! for being kind enough to drive us to and from the changi ferry terminal! thank you!

with this trip, let us look forward to better days ahead! HOORAY!

Penang Trip – 27th to 28th June

Filed under: around the world, chomp, choo, frens — kerensa @ 1:43 am

better late than never… here comes the entry on our long awaited Penang trip.
the trip to Penang was supposed to be (at least to me) a havoc durian tasting trip. but alas… it was not meant to be. nevertheless, the 4 of us had lots of fun – with food, driving on tiny roads full of bends, and visits to temples (and… my poor useless tummy full of shit – no kidding!)

let me start off with a complaint – the next time any of you takes air asia, don’t bother to check in online and print out your boarding passes. why? because when you are at the airport, you will still need to queue up to have your passports checked, which is, fair enough… except that the queue for online check in is longer than the one for counter check in! and the dumbest thing is, after you show them the boarding pass which you have printed out, they keep the boarding passes and issue you with new ones! DUH!

For FB
random pictures taken at the changi airport, all of us still sleepy…

with advice from alfred, we decided to rent a car for our 2 days trip, and i’ll say, it was good advice! we’ve had a lot of freedom driving around, stopping as and when we feel like it to grab food, and not to mention the thrill (for the 3 drivers, not me) of driving up and down winding hill roads, which can suddenly change from 2-way lanes to 1 single lane – at a bend! wooo… that was scary (for sheena, i believe)

For FB2
and here’s our car – a dark purple proton persona, and one of the drivers… heh. the indian guy at the top left hand corner was the staff from hawk-rent-a-car who was pretty friendly and had a shock when dearest took his picture.

and of course… must show you guys the FOOD!

For FB1
there was penang laksa (duh… by the way this is my fav of all!), char kway teow, lor mee/prawn mee (jackson! i am very sure you ordered prawn mee, not lor mee!!), curry mee, mctucky fried everything (chicken skin, sotong, fish, chicken meat, etc), apom, oyster egg, bak kut teh, fish bee hoon, fresh tropical fruits, durian (not so good), etc… YUMMY!

we went to the toy musuem which cost us RM20 each (for non-malaysians). i was quite excited about it… until i stepped in. the whole place was a maze of display shelves with hundreds of small little toy figurines locked behind glass panels. if you ask me, it’s not worth the money. but then again, i’m not one who loves toys, so i’m not the best person to comment

For FB3
For FB4

and… i’m not writing this in sequence, but the first place we went after collecting the car was the snake temple. despite being given directions by the indian car rental guy, we weren’t that confident of finding the place until jackson pointed out “there! ular! ular means snake”. LOL. so we found the place.

contrary to what was shown on tv, the snake temple isn’t that huge, and doesn’t house that many snakes. but it was still quite cool because it seems like dearest is not as scared of snakes as i thought he was.

For FB6
so it was a quick tour for us, some photo-taking and off we go to head to the sunway hotel.

we also visited the tropical fruit farm where i had my mini disaster of diarrhea immediately after eating the ‘fresh’ tropical fruits. so much so that i had to miss half of the guided tour. the saving grace was that the toilet has a long water hose so that i can clean myself up after every… erm… ‘burst’ (?). haha…

For FB5
the uncle who was bringing us around for the guided tour was chinese, but spoke in english with an accent. on and off, the guys try to talk to him in mandarin or hokkien but he always replied in english. makes me wonder why. he wasn’t the sort to make jokes but was friendly enough to answer our questions. he was quite pissed off at another indian group who didn’t want to join in the tour though. ha…
For FB7

we also went to the air hitam dam. just for fun because we were running out of places to go to

For FB11
it’s like this huge reservoir with a small dam in the center. we walked all the way inside to go to the man-made waterfall, only to find that the area is off-limits

another temple visit – the reclining buddha. it was not easy finding this place. we had to stop and ask for directions a few times.

For FB10
when we finally found the place and stepped in, dearest held my hand and said “do you feel it? it’s so peaceful here i have goosebumps all over me”. at that moment, i felt… touched… and held his hands tighter. he’s my love.

and another temple:
For FB12
there’s a really sweet story here, but i won’t share it for now. heh…

and beaches of course!
For FB8

and here’s the various busy scenes of gurney drive, the famous tourist place with all the delicious food, esp the penang laksa!
For FB9

and last but not least… the place with the good bak kut teh… except that we didn’t like the taste very much…
For FB13

ok ok ok… i know this entry is not exactly that exciting. but that’s because it is almost 2 am right now and i have a ferry to catch early in the morning. yes! dearest is bringing me to desaru!

got to sleep…

why do u love someone?

Filed under: bliss, choo — kerensa @ 2:45 pm

this is totally inspired by sheena:

one day, sheena’s mum asked jackson: why do you love sheena?
the answer: just because
sheena’s mum failed jackson’s answer

over dinner last night (together with all of them including sheena’s mum), this topic came up again, and i asked dearest the same question.
coincidentally, he was holding my hands.
and so he looked into my eyes and replied: “there’s no why. i love you that’s all”

to me, it was an acceptable answer. i think love is unexplainable. it’s… just… a feeling. if the same question was posed to me, i will be at a loss of words as well.

mins later, dearest held my hand again and said: “i know why i love you”
“why?” i asked
“because you are always very good to me”

and that meant the world to me.
