My wonderful weekend
This has to be the best weekend of my 2005 thus far!!! :)
Saturday. Dinner. Home. Meet my folks.
I was feeling all jittery and nervous, more so than how I felt when I met his family for the first time. I guess a big part of me felt scared and a lot of 'what-ifs' were ringing non-stop in my head.
What if my mum doesn't like him? What if he can't get along with my parents? What if they develop dislike at first sight? What if my mum is upset about my choice of bf again? What if..
Very paranoid I know, but I love my mum and I really want her to feel happy for me, for us.
Two years ago, I wouldn't care less about my mum's feelings and opinions over my choice of partner. I thought her ways as traditional and stifling; and I didn't think she knew any better.
But now, I feel different. I know my mum may have different wavelengths and way of thinking from me; and sometimes that seriously drives me up to walls. But end of the day, she's my mum and she only wants the best for me. Afterall, she's seen more of this world than I did! And if I can't trust my mum for sound advice, who else can I trust?
(Opps big digression.. so I was talking about dinner...)
Met the sweetest after class to grab something for my parents. He was wondering what to get and I decided to help him score a big brownie point by telling him to buy the Ritz durian strudel. My parents are huge fans of the strudel and true enough, they loved loved it (esp mum the glutton!!) :D
I wanted to wiggle my way out by saying I had no part in the strudel plot-to-win-my-gf's-mother's-heart; but my mum saw through that right away! Hee.
Dinner was fabulous! Mum cooked a few simple dishes and my cute baby loves the stingray so much that he can't stop raving on and on about it! And he ate so much rice too! Made my mum beam with pride. Another big brownie point scored. How not to love him, like that?
After pigging out on the strudel and watching telly, we decided we were too bloated and a walk will do us some good. And he wanted to take the LRT ride. so cute. We took a nice stroll to ease our heavily bloated stomach and then went for a ride on the LRT. Ha, he was fascinated about the auto-fogging mechanism of the train doors each time the train zipped too close to the residential blocks... ;)
Then we alighted at one of the stations and I did my favourite thing - grocery shopping!! :D I didn't buy the whole store but I left the supermarket happily with my honey and curry flavoured maggi mee. Yums.
We bade goodbye thereafter and I went home a smiling and settled person.
A short post-mortem with mum confirmed her stamp of approval for him. :) :) :)
All jitters I had earlier in that evening were thrown far far out...
Sunday. Dance. Dinner. Mates
I dragged my lazy ass out of bed in the morning, all geared and pysched to go for dance class with Jac. I was looking forward to it cause I wanted to kick start my new year resolution#5, before March.
Alas, the instructor called in sick and classes were cancelled! Bleah. Jac and I felt so sian about it. We idled around for a while and decided to go for lunch. Dance no go, what's a girl to do other than pigging out? :D Hee, we plonked ourselves at bakerzin for a light lunch and caught up on the latest gossips.
Spent the afternoon with sweetie lounging at his place. When it was time to get ready to go out, we were both feeling so lazy and lerthagic that it took a great deal of discipline! Its like we are on auto-laze mode on Sundays.
We arrived at the dinner place 5 mins late but as I had expected, everyone was running late with the exception of Shaun, Wenhao and Zhenyun. When the whole jin gang finally came, the fun and laughter began, although mostly at my expense! I was the target of much suaning and teasing, as always. And everyone was happy to finally meet my boyfriend and we received a lot of "oohs" and "awws" throughout dinner, so irritating!! And telling tales of my yesteryear's folly to him too! With friends like this, who need enemies?! ;D
And despite the 'no present' rule I imposed, these lovely friends of mine brought me gifts.
A card from Shaun and Wenhao. I don't believe this... Shaun?!! The goody two shoes Shaun??
It reads: Its my birthday. Wanna Spank Me??
Admist all the pressies, I picked out the card first thinking that it would be a conventional sweet looking card that would probably read "Happy Birthday, May your dreams and wishes come through" but this?? Hahaha.. I passed the card around for everyone to see. All burst out in laughter when someone (I forgot who) gave dear the look. Tsk Tsk.
So on to my next present...
CD and its "I love Paris" - is that cool or what?! But because everyone was in an extremely mischievious mode (Pam included), the CD of "18 sensual French classics" and the lavender candle brought about another fit of laughter. Silly friends! What were they thinking about?! ;)
And I happily played along! Heehee.
So when I opened up Pam's present, I cheekily gave the teddy a spank on its butt. Wahahah!!
(Told Pam I am naming it Spanky, LOL)
The ultimate grand finale came when I opened Keyun's present. She got me an innocent glitter roller thing (the kind that you roll over your body for the glittery effect) and before I could even said thank you, my closet pervert friend of a Shaun yelled out what was inscribed on the roll-on... "improve your game, dirty girl!!" and said all I needed now was a whip..
Laugh laugh laugh..
Hiyo!
Normal presents finally!
Another pig(gy bank) to the collection :)
Snoopy!! Cute eh, and its in French! Thanks Zhenyun, I love love this.
Wow, this is probably the longest blog entry I've written this year. I am totally spent and I am going to head to bed.
I am on leave for 3 days, and I think I will attempt baking again. Heh. Wish me luck!
Hope everyone had a lovely weekend too and here's to a good week!!
