2 Weeks Now

It has been a good 2 weeks as of today, and I’m glad that I have chosen him (hopefully this period is not just for the honeymoon period). He has been really sweet and dotes on me a lot, a lot more than my ex-boyfriend of 5 years and a half. But of course, nobody is perfect, everyone sure has certain points that we fall short of, including me. His care and dote really makes me fall head over heels with him, despite whatever short falls or in terms of physical appearance etc....Everything! Hopefully, this will last and not just the honeymoon period.

I know myself that I have a bad temper, so I really want to lessen this impact to make this relationship works. I think I have tone down a lot, even Pat, my best friend thought so too. I felt bad that I did not spend much time with her ever since I’ve got HIM.

He fetches me from work whenever he's free at night and I think he tries to keep most of his days for me, except for the days when he has classes and when I’m working. Even when I’m working, he waited for me on Friday, which I know that it has past his sleeping time and his usual hours out for drinks. When I meet my friends for dinner on Wednesday and Thursday, the days that he has classes, he came all the way from Tampines to Bishan to fetch me home (also have his dinner) before returning home and on Thursday, worse, he went to have dinner himself after class (which I promised to accompanying him) and waited for me at Oriental to pick me up. Not forgetting that it took him 30 mins to get home from my place. And I really appreciates all these that he has done and thankful and glad that I have him.

He has no complains whenever he waited for me, my office, my house, any destinations that I am in. He knew that I was a little scared whenever he drives too close to the car in front, he stops earlier than he should. He is deciding to change his sports car when he knows that I am not comfortable driving his manual sports car. He goes slow on me, explains things that I do not understand, he fetches me to my bike whenever I needs to, or warms up my engine, and follows me back to the car park before we heads off to other places. Isn't these, all that a woman would ask for?

When I was working on Friday, one of my regulars talked about my boyfriend (he saw me and the Frenchman when we went out) and he thinks that he is a Eurasian and he’s very good looking. I pretended not to know what he was talking about and my heart did drift a little.. I know that’s bad.

Anyway, he went dinner and drinks on Friday while I was working, and the whole decided to heads down to my working place after knowing that both of us are together, to make fun of us. I was like, oh no, I didn’t want my regulars and boss to know that we are together as firstly, my boss might not like it when bf is around eyeing when I’m working, secondly, she might tell the whole wide world about it, just like what she did when I’ve gotten promoted. Thirdly, I do not think it’s nice for customers to know about your personal life etc…

2 of his friends came first, one his good friend and the other is my secondary friend cum his army mate. They congratulate me (which I find it amusing) and told me your ‘lau gong’ lah thinking of changing his car… Blah blah blah… He’s a nice person lah… etc… When all his friends walked in, all were like eyeing on me, I’ve decided to just look away and do my work, do away with their table… Everyone just seems to have the smirk look (those like I know what you guys did) and I was like so embarrassed.

We went for lunch and movie on Saturday, we went to our individual dinners with our family. He came back to meet/ fetch me later on at night, didn’t know where to go, he circled the city area, then we decided to go to Mount Faber to catch some view. We then move back down to walk around Boat Quay and to the East, East Coast Park. We walked for a while and seated there for like an hour before heading back home.

We did a stressful thing on Sunday. He brought me down to Funan, on the pretext of handling some stuff which he got from Taiwan to his parents’ shop. I was hesitant of course, stressful, not getting the right attire (I was in my polo tee and shorts, with no make up) and it’s a little fast to meet his parents. He didn’t even introduce me when we walked in, I’m like guessing whose his parents are and greeted them, his auntie and her daughter was there as well.

His auntie was like saying how much was the dresses, why did he buy the cheap dresses for her daughter, should have gotten something more expensive, her daughter was wearing Zara jacket and Guess jeans that day. I don’t think he understood what she meant by not getting something cheap for her daughter, he just replied saying that aiya it’s very cheap, don’t remember how much it was. Hmmm, seems like his auntie is not an easy-going person. She asked about my job and his mum was always there to listen. His mum seems like a nicer person as compared to his auntie.

I did not comment on his auntie as I thought that would be inappropriate since I do not know them well and it’s still a bit ‘green’ for me to comment anything.

When we were leaving the shop, his mum asked for my name (yes, and I realize he did not even introduce me to his parents….. Hump…) and last name (I find it a little weird as would a surname matters? Or maybe she wants to know my dialect group.), asked how many siblings I have and why aren’t I celebrating Mothers’ Day back home, I’m like ok, this seems like a interview session. I keep looking at him, hinting to him whether we should make a move. His dad, on the contrary, is very quiet, just nod with a little smile when I greeted him. Then I think to myself: am I the first girlfriend that he brought back or just one of the many, since he seems nonchalant about the whole session.

His thoughtfulness again overwrites all these. He helped with the dinner (which he thinks it’s heavy) which I tabao, up to my floor before heading off to his grandma’s place.

Wanted to ask him whether his parents said anything about me, but I didn’t. I was hopeful that he would tell me himself. Or maybe his parents did not even ask or comment… Well I just hope and wanted to leave a good first impression.
