1st Quarrel

Mon – I was supposed to meet Wei Wei for dinner but she said she need to accompany her bf as he just went to remove his wisdom tooth, so need to buy him dinner. Hence we postpone to Wed instead.

Then I arranged to meet Dear at Cityhall to buy the donut that is always in long queue. He is supposed to be on half day, to view cars and will return to Funan by evening. I reached there slightly later than arranged but he didn’t have to wait for me since he will walk down only after I sms him. Just as we wanted to queue behind, the staff told us that the queue has stopped, even if I continue to queue, I might or might not get the donut afterwards. So we decided not to and walk to one side to decide what to do next.

He asked me to eat and he will accompany me cos he’s going back to Funan after that and eat with his parents. I did mention to him beforehand that I do not want to go Funan, basically because I don’t want his parents to think that we accompany them for dinner for the sake of convenience, so that he can drive me home. It’s ok for him cos he’s the son, but they may think otherwise for me, but unfortunately, he does not understand.

So when he said that, I was shock and pissed. I asked “so you are asking me here just to queue for the donut and go home?” He said no, will accompany me to eat, but the thing is, you have decided that after buying the donut, accompany me for a short dinner, you are going to go to Funan, drive back together with your parents. Even though I told him that I can ride home myself, this is not what I have expected or he should at least tell me that he intended to do all these.

I feel that I have dropped my work, just to meet you, and now you are telling me that go eat myself and go home straight after myself as well. I’m so angry, find that if that’s the case I rather he doesn’t meet me at all.

He tried to ‘hong’ me and he still have the cheek to say don’t be angry over such small matters. I said that this is no small matter, so how will you react if I do the same to you? After some persuasion, I relent and we went for dinner. When we walked around, he can still say or make fun of the words I mentioned when I told him off and I think these pisses me further. The first time he mentioned, I told him joking, don’t copy my words and learn those bad things, the second time he said something again, I mentioned ok, keep following my words in a not-so-happy manner. He just brushed it off by saying ok la and look away to change the subject. All the more I’m agitated, so I turned quiet, said going home when asked what’s next. Upon reaching the Mrt, I told him I’ll go home myself and he can take the train here, he resisted and said he will walked to collect my bike. He seems to know that I’m angry but choose to act blur about it. I gave a one-word answer when he asked things and looked away whenever he looks at me. Finally, he asked whether I was angry with him after 30 mins, and I kept quiet which should be very obvious by now. He asked what am I angry about, I said I mentioned this earlier and you ignored. I will only mention one time. So again he promised this will not happened again and ‘hong’ me and persuaded me not to ride home.

When we chatted later at night, he pisses me off yet again by repeating my angry lines again. I was pissed, guess he knew but he brush off and we put down the phone. I was sad cos I hate it when people brush off and hang up to hope that tomorrow I will forget about it.

Tue – I did not chat much or happily or forward email to him as I’m still sore over last night. He, as usual, pretends or assumes everything is alright. It’s until in the evening that I relent when he said he’s having a headache.

Wed – Wei wei put me aeroplane again, so he decided to meet me after much deliberation. I purposely do not want to ask whether he wanted to meet me up as I do not want any unhappiness to happen again especially if we are meeting up often.

He said my angry line again and I warned him “can you don’t do that again?” he knew I’m getting angry if he’s going to start again. This is not the first time today that he do that, just that I do not want to say anything. So I will need to send verbal warning before the volcano explodes. So he understands and he stops.

If he is ever going to do that again, I am going to give him the final warning and asked how many times I need to tell him and this will be really the final warning before I walk away and I’m serious!

Updates

Wonder how Tit is getting along with her newly marriage life... Haha.. Should be sweet, I can tell that Chris is quite thoughtful and on their day, he ensures that Tit do not trip on her grown and help her in moving around with the 'clumsy' outfit.. Haha.. Knowing that she is not very feminine her usual self, hence it's amazing that she walk properly on her slim heels. Haha.. I'm not trying to make fun of her, but well, we are good friends...

She's second, from my class in poly, to get married. I remembered whenever we have gathering we will speculate how will be the first to get married and we all guess it will be Kelly since she always has loads of boyfriends, flings and affairs... Still can't believe she is married. On the other hand, we are already 25, not young anymore. Furthermore Chris is already 32? I always think that being with a older man will be a better choice as they will really dote on me since they are so much older and he are more mature in their thinking. But unfortunately, I'm always attracted to younger man or those with the same age as me, seems to be always the case for me. Luckily, my dear is still quite mature in his thinking.

I think he is too honest. He actually told his mum that I'm working at a pub when his mum asked about me on Saturday. I was like... Hmmm, do you need to tell your mum that??? His mum was asking me last week at dinner:


- are you short of $$$

- do your parents allow you to work there?

- how long have i work there?

I explained to her clearly and assuring (i hope) that the place is not a sleazy place and my lady boss, being a woman, take care of us. And i work previously because i am studying so trying to repay my loan as well.

I hope he did not tell them that i ride too. He said that he told them because she asked where am I the week before last Saturday, when he had dinner with them. As usually I will be with him during the weekends. I’m not trying to tell him to lie, but certain things I thought may be better off not to say.

Wed – He actually took bus with me from Cityhall back to my place and took the mrt back home. I didn’t want to go Funan, as I do not want his parents to think that we went over for the dinner and transport as he will usually drives me home (with his dad’s car) after dinner with his parents, or drive his parents home before sending me home. Either way is fine with me, however it is so awkward so I don’t make much conversation in the car or at dinner. Sometimes his mum speaks to me, and I will just reply her and that’s it, full stop. But it just seems to me that the purpose we went down Funan is for the car, for the convenience or for the dinner. I’m not sure, just don’t feel good.

Initially, he keeps asking me where is my bike which I already told him I’ve left it at the office since he asked me to, as I got pissed and stared at him. he keep asking, I know, because he might wants to meet his friends later on for drinks. He knew I was pissed but I guess he thought I was angry because he said I keep laughing earlier. So I mentioned to him that if I don’t laugh, then I don’t smile and look stern all the time, if this is what he wants. So he said, no no no.. blah blah blah… I was pissed because he’s the one that asked me not to ride and he’s also the one who wants to meet me since my dinner was postpone. And now, he keep asking where’s my bike, which I know the reason for asking is that he wants me to go home myself, and that’s because he might wants to meet his friends. Then in the first place, don’t meet me!!!

Sat – we kind of quarreled again. It’s words again… he said tonight you will know when I teased him, so I said don’t go Bukit Batok tonight lo, he then said don’t go don’t go lo. So I said fine, then I won’t go. And he just smile and look away. I repeated a few times, he also didn’t say anything. We joined his parents for dinner and we went straight to his place. I told him that I’m going back home, he asked why, I said I’ve told you earlier on. He then said don’t want la, blah blah blah… if he tried to resolve this earlier, it wouldn’t be like this. So after much persuasion, I still keep saying I’m going back, so he asked me to wait for him to change. I warned him that I’ll stay this time (he still thought I’m joking with him all the while cos maybe I don’t look fierce or anything since his parents are at home) but the next time, I will really go back home. I’m pissed because he assume that I will stay, that’s why he didn’t make any efforts to even say anything when I say I’m not staying.

Not sure whether I’m petty or what but I just hate that. But after saying that I went to bathe and I just react normally already. I hope he do not have the impression that I’m easily appeased, I just do not want a quarrel since this is not something serious.

Well, hope tomorrow will be better.

Weekend Getaways

Been planning for weekend getaway. Going to Desaru in July, wanted to have it in June but unfortunately it’s a school holidays, the dates we wanted has been fully booked. Since Clara wanted to get away for weekend as well, so I decided to ask her along… I guess for beach resort, it will be the more the merrier…

We have all wanted to go Redang for the longest time, and Clara took the liberty to find out on the packages as she has been talking about going for so long. So Dear and I decided to go also.. Not sure whether he will be happy to go with them, but I know he will be awkward as he don’t know them. Will accompany him so that he won’t feel too bored, am just afraid that he don’t like sea sports and ended up not doing anything… hence thought if Clara and Teng are going, at least there will be company for those sports activities.

Mon – we kind of quarreled because he mentioned yet again that the price to Rendang, we can take plane go Taiwan already. So I said ok lor, you go your Taiwan see Taimei then I go Rendang myself… He said Ok, then afterwards said no lah he would want to go with me. I told him seriously, if he didn’t want to go, I can go on my own but he keep insisting that he wanted to go also. Then I shoot him back, asking him then why does he always raise the price issue that is comparable to fly by air. But I keep telling him it’s for the experience…

After this topic I’m quite sick of the whole trip already, and a little pissed off with him. He started to change topic, I still answered him but in a not-so-in-the-mood tone. He said he can wait for me after my call (had late calls, 3 in total till 9 plus 10pm), but I told him not to wait, it’s too late.

Tue – called him as usual for his morning call, put down without speaking much. He sent a lovely email about love, which outlines that only time can understand how great love is… very sweet email, but I can’t be bothered to reply, which I normally would drop him a line or two. He called me after lunch (our usual routine nowadays) and we have a short chat. He said he will wait for me at night, I still insist no as it’s quite late. He then said “no matter how late, I will still wait for you, just like what I had told you before”.

I briefly recalled he did mention this before, but I did not expect him to emphasize that again. I think he is trying to make amendments of what he said yesterday, even though he did not apologize or anything. Not that I want him to apologize since he is not at fault, but I find he may be someone who will not apologize if he’s at fault. But this is not a good example to take to generalize that he won’t apologize since he’s not at fault, the only thing is that he keeps mentioning about the price as compared to the air fare which pisses me off.

Anyway, after he said that, my heart melted again. I think I have forgiven him. I said that I will always remember this, so he will have to always wait for me no matter how late. I’m really touched!

Wed – he sent me to Charcoal restaurant at Tresaury building, next to Funan (operated by Shatec student) after work, just to send me there, and intend to pick me up after my dinner with Eve, Juliet, Ween and Clara. He does not have any plans so he just hang around Bugis. Luckily he met his friends, so join them for lunch. I still think he is trying to make amendments on Monday issue.

The food was not bad, quite nice, really makes me think of the time when we invent food in Saffron kitchen (During my Temasek training). Those times were so fun, the cooking and eating… the creamy soup, the sauces and garnishes.. etc…

Anyway, Eve and Juliet were so interested who was the guy waiting for me and whether the guy was dating me… haha… I can see them keep peeping into the car’s window…

Thur – I went medicure and pedicure with Tit and Mel in preparation for the wedding, left for highlight at Cut & Curl at Jubilee shortly as they closes early yesterday at 5pm. Since dear is not ready yet, I went to my Godmum’s place to accompany her for a while. She asked whether the one fetching me is my boyfriend and I said yes. I think she’s also consoled that finally I have gotten over Dan and get on with a new guy. Will bring him along for lunches or dinner the next time.

We went to ROM to park the car there, walked over to Funan (stressful time again) and we settled down at Raffles City food court for dinner. We went over to Esplanade, had a slow walk (our usual walk after dinner, but always the same few places… haha.. boring..) we settled down at a spot and he started asking whether I remember when and where we get together and said that tomorrow, which is today, is our 1 month anniversary. I said I know. But unfortunately we are unable to stay out late as I need to wake up very early tomorrow (Tit’s wedding). He suggested that we stayed at Rasa Sentosa next month (since we are not able to do so this month) and we can go to the beach and stay overnight there. So sweet of him to think of all these…

He started to think of what is the first movie that we watched together after seeing the questions that I am going to ask the groom on Saturday. Haha… as if he is getting married… Opps…

Fri - Not sure whether I will need to prepare any gift for him… not sure whether he is preparing anything… hopefully he did not because I did not prepare anything as well..

Our plan was to just have dinner and a movie – Shrek 3. We are both leaving early to maximize our time together… Hopefully this honeymoon period will not only last for a month or a short time…

I really look forward to spending many more 1 months with him, know him better and hopefully I can also (or he can train to) control/ maintain my temper now. He has been great!
