"Syg, cn i ask u out on a date tdy? Hehe..."

and so i received this sms from her while i was doing my godforsaken housework in the morning which never seem to end.
and so, i obliged.
kalau tak, nak kata ape pulak kan. :P
and so, i met her at work.
coincidentally, its the last day for her "Mum".
knowing that she was abit sad and hampered and all, i decided to put in the extra effort to make her smile, not that i never do so la at other times. heheh.
the wait seemed to take forever.
the moment shes out, my heart went "woah", like everytime my eyes lay themselves on her.

"hmm. yang, where we going?" "tanak bilang, its a surprise."
and so, i couldnt get my answer.
all the way to our destination, i wasnt at ease.
i kept bugging her for an answer, yet she stubbornly told me off.
and so, for most of the journey, i sulked, or at least, tried to.
initially, i thought we gonna be ending up at orchard, then she said no. ok fine.
then in the mrt, just as we about to reach yishun, she told me,
"okay, dah sampai"
and im like "huh, ookaay..."
and thus this gendeng tek of hers get ready nak alight.
nasib baik tak keluar pintu, coz she landed herself on an available seat instead.
i tercengang skejap, trying to assess the situation. ..
ouh. rupernyer ive been punked.
tho simple, it left me feeling,... well, punk'd.
then i kept bugging her for our destination, cause im someone who never likes uncertainty, and certainly would love to know where im going, always.
AMK, and the train stopped. it was the last stop for the ride.
thought we gonna be waiting for another one, but nooo, she went down the stairs.
and then im like "okay, so its AMK hub then"
she kept on walking, and walking, away from the underground pass to AMK hub.
we reached the bustop opposite, and we waited.
and she still refused to give me a clue at all.
we took a bus, but i forgot what number.
and so, the suspense grew, so so much that i felt like a bursting balloon.
"thomson plaza?" "bishan?" "toa payoh?" "novena square?"
all the time, i only got that "tanak bilang!"
then the bus turned into stevens road.
something told me, hmm, memang kite nak pergi orchard.
member masih nak deny nie!
before long, far east plaza loomed ahead.
and so the suspense ended. phew.
but she still didnt tell me where we gonna be our dinner.
this time round, im not letting her make me wonder, coz i know.
"kite nak pergi ramen-ten kan?"
"huh? mcm mane abg tau nie...! :("
and so die merengek. alah. tapi rengek manje je. kan kan? hehe
she got to see my inefficiency with chopsitck, and i gotta ask for a fork and spoon.
i had a bento meal, while she had what i had during the first time i went there long long ago.
(yes. i forgot the names of the dishes)
while waiting for the food, she presented me with a card.
with a big "I LOVE U!" in bold rite at the front.
oh em gee.
touched ade, terharu ade, malu pun ade.
coz i never make any one of those cards for her before.
and including this one, she made 2 for me already.
(pics will be put up soon.)

god, her sweetness totally floored me, yet the modest way of she giving it to me made me fall in love with her even more.
after dinner, we took a stroll along orchard road, heading towards perlini's silver at taka.
but it was already closed.
for a while, we didnt know what to do. coz it was still early, and we didnt want to go home yet.
our feet brought us to borders.
where we browsed, and even reminisced about the books we read when we were younger.
got ourselves three books.
afterwhich, we had difficulty in finding a cab.
had to walk all the way to the building beside orchard towers, and that only after we got ourselves some drinks from the 7-11 beside hilton.
that was the first time since a very long time i walked along the HRC area late at night.
she only got to know that orchard towers is considered a redlight district for expats that night.
heheh. innocent la this baby of mine. :P
soon, we got a cab, and i sent her home. :)

Wednesday, 30th April 2008
on this day, was my turn to inflict the painful suspense that i had to go through the day before.
initially, i told her that we would be watching a movie.
but i didnt tell her where.
suddenly it occured to me, why not do sumthin special.
and i decided upon a sunset.
and so i asked around.
and i got a myriad of answers.
mount faber.
kent ridge park.
east coast. east?
siloso.
and someone even mentioned the hill beside darul makmur. (one day, ill check it out k bro. :P)
at the same time, i gave myself some other back up plans, just in case time runs out on me.
and so i met her.
i was a lil late. of all days, i had to be late on a day im supposed to plan for the date.
sowie baby. :(
anyol hoots, she became anxious herself.
and i still wouldnt let up.
for a bit.
mcm tak sampai hati gitu.
haiz.
took train all the way to bugis.
i was eyeing this ring at, again, perlini's silver, which i saw on its website. but the rings that were available there didnt seem to suit my liking. at all. urgh.
after a bit of contemplating, we decided the rings do not look good enough.
then we had dinner.
at swensen's.
heheh. where i think we had fun. :P
she had mac and cheese, while i had the half chicken.
and those cheese sticks.
oh em gee.
scintillating.
beside us, there were this munjen family, with a lil boy. but it seemed like the father was the one seeking attention. and on the floor to my left, there was a smiling star staring up to my being.
must be the child.
while waiting for the dessert, that fondue thingy, we had a bit of ol-skool fun, heheh.
we played the thumb wrestling game, which i must admit, she is rather good in.
better than me at least. hehe.
i won, and that only after i cheated. pfft!
then, we played arm-wrestling. which, she beat me during the left-arm round. dangs.
after that, we played the hand-slapping game.
and this time, no mercy given.
other than the occasional squels and yelps, and that constant exclamations of pain,
i left her with two red hands, both inside and outside. heheh
all that, took about half and hour.
yes. it took that long.
she wanted me to cancel the order, but the gendeng me did otherwise, and so we waited.
heheh.
it was the first swensen fondue for the both of us.
and the fire kept going out.
irritating.
before we knew it, we were done.
went to couple of rings' shop, and initially after liking what we saw, we were disappointed to know it would take 3 days. and the ones available then only have 3, and they all didnt look good at all.
we walked, and walked.
and we arrived at 77th street. with no intention of getting a ring there.
then both our eyes saw those rings, and decidedly so, it was love at first sight, without any words being spoken.
we tried it on, and it looked good. and so we got it.
hehe. :)
and yeah. i signed up for the membership card at the same time, and i got a pass admitting 2 to MOS.
for thurdays.
so guys, once u read this, call me.
the first will receive it. :P
more strolling, and more in bugis village.
i was only looking forward to standing underneath the mother of all fans. heheh.
then it was time to go.
and the queue. oh the queue.
terrifying. and the temperature aint helping.
even chatted with a afro guy studyin in malaysia.
asked me take care of his queue space, while he went to the money changer.
then i got to find out he's going to a geylang hotel.
"to meet a friend".
right.
the taxi couldnt come soon enough.
man. the aircon.
exhilarating.

so yeah. those were the 2 dates which were done consecutively.
:)
thanks for the wonderful time baby..
as for the sunset, well, perhaps, another time aite. ;)
muacks!
