30th June 2006 (Friday)
A much awaited day and night has arrived. It was our 2nd month anniversary. My Prince has ignored me a little on Thurday when I asked her what's for dinner on Friday. I even hinted that it was our 2nd month anniversary. But she completely igmore my comments and talked about other things. (hmmm.. I allowed it to pass...) She told me on Thursday night that she had to go to town on the morning of Friday and would like to have breakfast together. I agreed, of course (got partners' company for breakfast, why not??)
Friday, 12:10am, I received a text message from her. She wished me "Happy 2nd month anniversay, my princess! Kisses!...." I was smiling silly to myself. I thought she had forgotten. Therefore, I did not expect her to text me. Hehehe.. I replied to her that I was surprised and had thought she had forgotten. And replied again thereafter that she couldn't, for it was only our 2nd month together! *Grin* *Smile* [looks silly ;P]
I was wondering what should I get her for our 2nd month anniversary. Yes, of course, I did give away some hints for I called her and asked her what was it that she doesn't like in her chocolates. I got no choice lah - after seeing her almost puking her guts out the last time round when there was a hint of almond in the chocolate piece she placed in her mouth. Aiyo! I did not want that to happen again. Especially so since we are going to a special place for dinner. (yeah, it's a expensive one. and I was praying hard to myself that we wouldn't have any arguments...)
I almost skipped my 1.5 hours lunch on Friday. I walked through the shops in Caltex House, the Arcade, OUB Centre and the Raffles Exchange to look search for the specific and / or particular items I needed. I wanted to give her something slightly different. I walked and I looked. I peeped and I scouted. Finally, with a little help from a very nice gal, I received some suggestions and approvals and put my plan into action. I went to 3 different shops to get the stuff. I had picked up a very nice dark brown PVC leather box with brown tissue and a goldish brown ribbon, 20 chocolate truffles and pralines and 2 lovely red and milky white roses.
I had the company of Serena during my haircut at Far East. Thereafter, Serena left me to have my romantic dinner with my partner. Whilst walking to the venue, I called my partner at least 4 times. None of the times was it answered. Hmmm.. I was getting really impatient, for it was already 8:00pm and we were obviously late for our dinner. I was wondering, where on the planet is SHE??!!?? At this time of the night, why didn't she answer my calls. She not kan chiong meh? Aiyooooo...
When my partner finally answered my call, she told me to take the escalator up to the 4th level. I was annoyed and asked her why didn't she answer my calls. She said that she was in a hurry for she was already late - hence, she had to head straight up to the restaurant first and asked me not to be angry and to hear her heavy breathing for she was panting. Blah Blah Blah..

She said that she was in a hurry for she was already late - hence, she had to head straight up to the restaurant first and asked me not to be angry and to hear her heavy breathing for she was panting. Blah Blah Blah..
I walked right in to the restaurant and scanned my tiny eyes for her waving hand. I spotted her. I smiled a half-hearted smile at her and placed my stuff on the other chair. Took a deep breath and looked out of the window. I had decided that it's just a little hiccie. And it's not worth the anger nor the night. We both looked at each other and smiled, after placing our orders. She apologised for being late and for making me go un-escorted. She then asked me about my hairdo. I turned my head around to show her. A while later, "Happy 2nd Month Anniversary, Darling." was uttered. I smiled at her and said the same. Then, I presented her the little brown box to her. She didn't open it up right away and said she would do so later.
After our soup, I asked her again if she was going to open the box. Of course, I knew my hint was obvious and being the clever woman that she is, she would already have guessed what was in the box. Anyway, that was not my concern at all for it was the presentation in the box that I was more concerned about. I asked her to take a picture of it (haha.. you guys must be wondering which web-site did she get that beautiful picture from, right??). She loosened the ribbon and opened up the lid, she stared at it for a while, smiled to herself, closed the lid and said to me in a stern and grouchy face, "Darling, there is one flavour in there I do not like, I don’t like THAT flavoured chocolate but I think you will. You can have that."
I was REALLY puzzled by what she said for I gave specific instructions to the guy over at the counter what I wanted. Hmmm. Okay.. Nevermind... I took the box and opened the lid. I stared at the chocolates for a while before my eyes caught sight of something amongst them. It was...... It was...... It was a pendant!! A heart-shaped (almost like a kidney bean from Tiffany's) pendant! I picked it up with care (careful not to poke nails into the chocolates) and looked at it and at my partner at the same time. If only I could SCREAM!!! Oh my gosh....!!! She bought me a pendant!! I had never thought she would do something to suprise me like that. I never expected it at all. I am really touched and happy.
I thanked her and kept asking her thereafter how did she manage to buy it. We're together everyday. Where does she have the time to go and buy it? The only time possible (after thinking and wondering and thinking and thinking) was perhaps 30 mins prior to our dinner date.
I asked her how did she manage to put the pendant and chain into the box - all without me noticing. Hmmm.. How lovely can she be.... Awwwwwwwwww....
She told me that the chain is not mine. The chain I was to have is at home. She forgot to bring it out with her earlier. So, she had to use her own chain to hook it with the pendant first. When we get home, she would exhange it with the one meant for me.
The chain - it was a gift from her granny. It has been with her for like 20 years? I am wearing the Lim's family heirloom.......!!
