Happy 7th Anniversary...
Yup. That's how long we've been together.. Sometimes, when we both look, back, we would wow in wonderment, how two people who could not be more different could get together, much less stay together for so long. Hmm...
Anyway, yesterday was the 21st October, the day which Da and I got together "officially", 7 years ago. IT was also the day after Mama's birthday, and we have promised her to go for lunch with her already. We ended up at Dawson place, where we had delicious Dim Sum, with Mama, Kelvin, Shuxian, da and I. (Sorry, no pictures because we were too busy fighting for the food...)
After that, the lunch ended like 3, and we really didn't know what to do. Da and I had not even gotten down to celebrating our anniversary. In the end, we drove the car back to dad's place. This was about 4. It was really getting unnerving for me, because da was unusually quiet, and into one of his irritating moods again. (you know how guys will always just keep damn freaking quiet when they are trying to get a message across to you? ANd hopefully by some means or another, you would know what they were actually trying to say?) This was one of those days. He was just keeping quiet, trying hard to pretend that everything was normal, and that everything was going well for him. I asked him what was bothering him, guess what he said. "anywhere you all want to go lor". (Ok. By this time, mama had gone home, and it was only the 4 of us left).
It was around 6 when we finally decided to leave for home, and maybe resign myself to fate that I would not be celebrating our anniversary afterall. Along the way, I called Mama, and she said that Vivy was home, and asked if I wanted to see her. Of Course! And so, we went to mama's place by bus.
It was there that I really started to flare up. It was simply irritating. I would ask da what was wrong, and he would say "nothing" to everything. I know what all of you must be thinking now... "I thought only girls would do that what...not meaning what they said". Well, apparently not in my case...)
Then he finally told me. He said that it was getting to him, that we were not able to celebrate our anniversary, because we were not alone. I told him that I knew, but there was nothing that I could do. That didn't help, because we were still both in the worst of moods. Then I lay down on Jo's bed for a rest. In case any of you were not aware, being angry is a very tiring thing to do.
IT was then that Mama came into the room, and asked me what happened. I told her what da has just said, and told her that I really wanted to go out with da, and that we really want to go somewhere nice for dinner, but if we brought Kel and Shuxian along, it would be too expensive for us. (Seriously, it was not that we didn't want them along...) However, I found it really hard to explain to them... Then mama said "never mnd one lah. YOu never tell me that it was your anniversary. Don't worry. You all go. I will ask the two of them (Kel and Shuxian) to follow me, stay at my house. YOu all go for a good dinner".
I was seriously touched.
Then came my turn to flare up, because I had to resolve the stupid issue, while da was just outside simmering in his own anger, showing his fucking irritating face while I took the action of telling mama and asking her for help. I flared up at him, screamed at him, cried and everything on our way to town. He was angry at first, but then in the end he apologized... (I don't know whether it's just to stop the quarrel, or if he really meant it. Whatever way, it was not my fault).
ANyway, by the time we got to town, everything was more or less civilized between us, but I would not say I have totally cooled down. In the end, when Da brought me to Jack's Place for dinner, that was when both of us really settled down and felt much better.
On Thursday, Ning, Yen Ru and I went hunting for a gift for da for our anniversary. I contemplated getting a PSP (Play Station Portable) for him, but the total "package" added up to about $500, and I really couldn't afford it. In the end, he had to settle for a Creative Zen Neeon 2 MP3 player, which had 2GB of space. It also cost me close to $300 to get it...I also made him a little gift for him to place in his offce table...It had both our names...
Truth be told, Da didn't get me anything. Not even a card. I was really quite pissed off already. (Evn though it was agreed that we would not get each other anything because we wanted to save up the money for our year end trip to Bangkok.).. Then, when we were waiting for our food to arrive, da made up the silly excuse of going to the toilet (as if I didn't know what he was trying to do), and then went outside to the Heeren to get me this Tigger speaker... haha.
That was how we spent our 7th anniversary. What do I think? I think it's alright... at least it ended well... =) Seriously, I was a little bit... teeny weeny bit disappointed... =(
