Happy 16 months!

Yest was our 16 months together. Dear wanted to wish me happy 16 months but the silly guy got it wrong and said 'happy 20 months!'. I was quite shocked at how wrong he could get the time wrong and I really quite nagged him about it. We went out for dinner at Manhatten Fish Market with my frens who wanted to celebrate my bdae for me. The flaming prawns were really quite good and it's cool that they'll flame it in front of you with a blowtorch. But I think the prawns were a little overcooked as the flesh stuck to the shells a little. But oh, I love the garlic rice there! I dun noe how to describe the taste, it was a little like fried rice without the egg and other ingredients, but the fragrance of the garlic and rice stir fried together was very appetising for me.

And I have unwittedly spoilt my own bdae surprise from Dear's. Dear picked me up from work to lunch at our favourite chicken rice shop and I saw a girl carrying this Guess bag that I abslolutely love and wanted. It's a colorful leather hobo bag that looked so cheery, funky and happy. I wanted to get it but hesitated because of the hefty price and finally when I decide to get it, the bag was out of stock at all Guess counters in Singapore. There was a brown version but I didn't really like it as I find it a little dull.

So I was exclaiming to Dear, 'Did you see that? She's carrying my dream bag!". Then later during lunch, he casually asked if I think the brown one is also nice. I said, "Of cos not! It's very old-looking". Dear looked a little worried and fell silent. After a few minutes, he asked, "But if you have it, will you use it?". Not really thinking, I just said maybe and he tried to ask me again. Sensing something weird and suddenly suspecting that he might have gotten it for me, I tried to be nice and said, 'If I have it, might as well use it sometimes', while hoping that he didn't get it for me.

Later, after we finished lunch and were shopping around, Dear could't keep his secret and told me that actually he had spent one month calling the Guess distributor and tried to find my bag for me. But they only have the brown left and Dear got it for me. I almost fainted! I said, "But I didn't even think of getting the brown at all. I only wanted the colorful one!". Sigh, how silly can a man be!

In the end, we decided to cancel the order (although it's a little bad) because I dun wan Dear to spend so much on the present. Dear was really quite upset that his surprise was exposed and fell through. To make him feel better, I later told him, "It's ok, you can get me other things. Like that little black Ripcurl bag that I liked too." Dear's face changed again and he sort of sulked, "That is also the surprise I planned! I wanted to get that small bag and put it in the brown bag to give you a double surprise. Now you've ruined everything!"

I couldn't stop laughing because I can understand how traumatising it is for Dear's to have all his plans ruined. But I didn't mean to make things difficult for him. Too bad we can read each other's thoughts, wahaha. Today, the poor guy went shopping in the morning for my present and he seemed happy at what he bought for me. I'm waiting eager to see it : )

But Dear is feeling a little sick tonight after we went to 85 market and eat. I think the food was a little oily and his stomach couldn't take it. And his brother and mother are running fevers, maybe the virus has spread to him. He's nauseous and shivering, hope he gets well tonight. I hate Dear to be sick, I like my Dear to be healthy and happy.

I'm praying hard he gets well by tml.
