I woke up this morning to a a beautiful pot of flowers set in a tin watering can and a limited edition of a pouting Doraemon soft-toy at my bedside, reminding me of a wonderful day spent yesterday. As of yesterday, it has already been a year since I got attached.
So he came to my house at around noon, armed with a bag full of ingredients to prepare macaroni and cheese at my place, the limited edition Doraemon imported from Japan and also the pot of a mix of peach-coloured roses, daisies, Sun-flowers and other cute assortment of small yellow flowers and leaves. I already told him no flowers the previous night, but still this is the most beautiful ones I have ever received so far. I guess that it cost around $60.
So we spent a few hours trying to fix the macaroni and cheese and I learnt that he must not have cooked often, if ever at all. He forgot to put milk and the first tray came out too dry. I worked on the second one but it was too cinnamon-y for my taste. He also bought this pair of chocolat heart palm size cakes from Bakerzin and decorated it with chocolate chip ice cream and drizzled some Hershey's chocolate syrup.
We skipped training for an evening of pool, Ichiban dinner and movie. I lost all 5 games straight to him. His pool was really good and I told him I would like to ask my friends to play pool together and pair up with him for the game.
My part, there was the E63 phone and I baked horrible peanut butter cookies and gave him 19 heart shaped ones and 5 star-shaped ones. I paid for the Ichiban dinner and wanted to treat for the movie too but I was totally OOC (out of cash).
Even though I was a little irritated and fussy while we were preparing the macaroni and cheese but ultimately I had a great day. Only hoping that he enjoyed himself as much, if not more, too. Afterall, he has spent a bit and would already have felt the pinch, no point for him to brood over the money and forget about the enjoyment.

Cryn is a scholar with a bright future ahead, a son who helps with housework and probably a good bf. I don't know his gf well so I won't really comment on the last bit. I teased him today, saying that his future wife will probably have it good. Just ask him to do the housework - he can sweep-magicclean-mop, laundry, iron clothes.
Me...I'm not so sure. If my future husband would be my current bf, then I will probably be slogging away with housework on top of work. Cook, house-cleaning, laundry. His home doesn't have any washing machine, I hope he doesn't expect handwashed laundry. "I'm never going to own a condo", "I don't want to have a car", these are plainly-laid words for me not to expect; these are phrases without a flicker of hope. It doesn't even feel like he's at least going to try to work towards it. No comfort-living and still must forgo my free time away to serve my husband - sounds like an unhappy life.
"Man can't live on Love alone." And even if I can live on love alone, then will there even be time and energy to love with such a pessimistic future?
Someday the blooming flowers will wilt and die..

Went to Premier Thai on Saturday for Grandpa's birthday dinner. Ordered the claypot sharks' fin. the gravy is thick and so are that pieces of sharks' fin. Just needs to be a little saltier. Try it with their chopped green chilli.
