my darling's birthday

it's thong's bday today!!! his 4th bday since we've been together. this post shall be specially dedicated to him! hehe.

it's funny how i've always tried to surprise him on his bday, but it's always so hard to, since we're like together almost 24/7 in hall and stuff, seldom out of each other's sight. hehhee eeeek mushy. so the quality's abit compromised. and sometimes, the plans fail miserably.

let me illustrate. hmm, yr 1. we made a huge banner for thong and jin and hung it up somewhere adjacent to thong's room, such that he can see it from his windows. but that was successful cos it was a group effort (can make and hide the banner in friends' rooms etc).

yr 2. i secretly ordered a nice cake to be delivered to hall, wanting to surprise him that night. i was with him in his room that afternoon when the delivery man called to say he has arrived. so i had to cook up some excuse to leave right? i told him i'm going to the hall office to pay my fees. surely, just ten mins away he won't suspect anything?? but wrong. while i was at the lobby collecting the cake i saw thong walking towards my direction (he said he wanted to see how was my fees-paying coming along...?!)! and according to him, i went to hide in the toilet with the cake when i saw him. darn.

yr3. bought him a big adidas bag plus matching shoe bag. i was thinking, hmm where in my room can i hide them such that he'll nv chance upon them? i thought, shoe rack is the best. surely, he won't ever open my shoe rack?? wrong again! who knows, prior to his bday he happened to open my shoe cupboard to keep my shoes. brrrrrr. he has never done that b4. and so, he found his present in the most unexpected way. surprise!! in advance though. sobs. so much for the effort.

yr4. hmm sad to say, this yr i really din have time to plan or organize anything. and we're really spending too much time together with all the studying during exam period to go plan anything on my own (i'm seeing him totally 24/7). but we did have alot of celebrations together. bout 4 i think! but i thought, maybe nice to give him a lil something. so today after my assessment at bat, i went to clementi to buy him a pandan cake (his favourite flavour supposedly, dun ask me why the flavour). dun think very simple k. i had to call my hallmate and get her to open the gate for me (i dun have access), hide the cake in lvl 7 fridge, go back outside the gate again, call thong to pretend i'm still waiting for him to open the gate for me, then pretend to go toilet whilst actually going to prepare the cake, and i had to light up the candles with a lighter!!! hahaha it's the first time i'm using a lighter *shy-faced* managed to light up the damn thing but burnt some flesh in the process. loser. hehhee. but it pays to see that boy's face light up in the end. pheww. mission accomplished.

okie enough bout surprises. in hall u can do such stuff. next time when we grad, i think i have to think of other forms of surprises? heh.

anyway dearie, i hope u had a great bday this yr. i know u did. haha. i know how much it means to have the pple significant in ur life to care so much bout u. u and ur famous five. they're so nice to u eh? haha.

thong and me, we've come a long way. i think love is all bout finding the right one. after all the roundabouts, i'm glad we've found each other. i think for us, we're not such the romantic kinda couple. but we're true companions, i think that matters alot more. we're so comfortable with each other, we're like family. it's no longer u and me, but us. we can do anything and say anything in the world, there won't be any embarrassment or shyness. we've been together for quite awhile, but we're not sick or tired or anything. in fact, we still have so many things to talk about each day, still so many new activities and things to explore and do. each new day is exciting. i dunno why, but i think i've never felt this way with anyone before. i guess it's partly cos we stay in hall together? helps us to bridge any gaps. i've never felt so at ease with anyone at all. and i know that i can always depend on him to be there, to be my source of comfort and happiness, and the whole world can doubt me but he won't (same for me!). it's just the feeling of, u're not afraid of showing each other who u really are, cos we know the other person will just totally accept it and not judge us at all. we can truly be ourselves.

and i think, these little things are really the stuff that matter, at least to me. being able to bare our souls to each other, to be who we truly are and knowing the other person is loving it, to be able to talk about the deepest secrets and issues in our hearts, no pretense, no nothing. we can say anything to each other, and in fact we scold vulgarities at each other alot of times. oops. we wash each other's laundries, cook for each other, i squeeze his blackheads for him, he puts leave-on conditioner on my hair after i shower. heh eek starting to sound really gross.

shan't bore u guys. anyway just wanna say i'm inclined to think i've found the right one and just hope everything turns out fine after we leave hall. bah. love u thong! eeek sounds mushy. yea another thing is we dun usually say sweet things to each other. so weird. hmmz.
