Preparation started Friday night... Nono. Thursday night. Went to source for ingredients needed for the cheesecake and jelly i was gonna make for him. Muahahahas. Things get so fun when you're making things for ... Him! =) You know you're in love when nothing gets you down; when even the toughest chore (of whipping the cream and cheese) makes you smile... Just cos it's all for him...
Ingredients for the Cheesecake!
Fri night was spent making the cheesecake, as he was coming to fetch me at 12pm on Saturday. Cheesecake needed some good amount of time to set, so I decided I should start preparing on Friday. Muhahahas. In the end, it didn't come out the way i wanted; the way i made for bestie Neer the previous time simply because my shifu (my sis) wasn't ard, and the recipe she lent me was lost and i had used other recipes. And yes! Jerica's not a good cook. Haa. But I will learn! Hees. =X Anyway, all the disappointment from the failure of the cheesecake dissolved when I saw him!
I walked down the stairs, trying to be naughty by not taking the lift (and yes, i stay on the 12th storey). Who knows, (and God knows why) he was already on the 8 or 9th storey waiting for me!!! OMGoodness. How did he find out?!?!?! Shucks. I'm getting too predictable for him. Muahahahs.
That Saturday, I got the first love letter from him. HAA. Being an art student, he drew a Doraemon for me! I never knew how to draw Doraemon. I only knew how to draw Doraemons that don't-look-a-wee-bit-like-Doraemon. Hehs. My darlie is love! Thanks alot for ur effort! Muahahaha. =)))
The 1st Love Letter - More to come right? =P
And yes! I decided to make my work desk a little much more interesting, a little more exciting to look forward to, by .......... Hee Hee. Can you spot it? =)
My Work Desk at Integrated Communications Group
Muahahahs. Next stop, after he devoured his jelly, we went to Kovan to do highlights for my hair. That's not all! muahahhas. Little known to him, I had a surprise planned for him - to introduce Ting Ting (my brother's girlfriend and my almost-there confidante) to him and make him super paiseh! I was laughing HYSTERICALLY (literally) at this particular point in time when I realised Ting was super pro in acting and that Rico still didn't know what was in store for him - she could pretend everything was normal; I could not suppress my outburst so for a good 1 or 2 minutes, I was laughing like a mad girl... Errr. Heh. That's me. =P
Anyway, my brother came in to join his girl in her rebonding while Rico and I left after i did my highlighting. Rico got even more shy when my brother walked in. Hehs =P Mission accomplished! Norty gurls with wacky ideas. Muahahahs.
Ok, well well well. After which, we went to my Outram area for lunch - their yummy Wanton Mee along Keong Saik! Their char siew is ... lovely! Ok, but to those who dare not eat fats, this wudn't be a place for you. Cos their char siew is kinda fatty. Oops. Introduced the area around my workplace to dearie and brought him to my office. HAA.
After lunch, we proceeded on to City Hall! He introduced his SBF - super best fren Coreen to me, who was working at Mphorsis at City Link Mall. How coincidental that i have a BFFF (Best Funny Fren Forever) by the name of Kareen, which sounds perfectly like Coreen too! Haa. Not too sure why, but I guess Coreen was pretty friendly! Very norty and cute lady... =) Did not feel any awkwardness that I had expected. And to think we even ganged up together to attack his Archille's heels! Haaaa. (of which shall remain a secret. mohohoho)
And after bidding farewell, we went over to Marina to get the tickets for Sex and The City (lovely show which subtly portrays the various perceptions of Love), did some shopping and I brought him to Aglio Olio for dinner! Aglio Olio at Murray St (the one which i always patronise) had moved due to some re-development plans, so I had no choice but to bring him to the one at China Square Central. My seafood olio was nice! Whee hee hee. Which was to my surprise, as I had been super nauseous and traumatised from the Escargots my manager had treated me to previously. Ewwwwww. I will never try any weird food again. The thought of eating something slimy was... (YUCKS yucks and still yucks!) But well, I had decided to challenge my limits while still young. Hee. =P And yes! The company was nice too! When the pasta was left with only the prawn, I cleared my throat on purpose (hee hee) and Nr Gentleman skilfully removed the shells for me! *awww... I do admire guys who do such little stuffs for girls - makes me feel so pampered! Haa. =] Or, maybe he could guess I was too clumsy to remove the shells on my own without the prawn flying out? Haa.
More points for you! Hees.
Rico the happy man!
Lovely chicken wings, pasta and soup kept us satisfied!
(Jeri acting irritated. Haa)
And I brought him to the sacred place -
Uncovered by chance, known only to a few people who're special to me...!
Overlooking Esplanade, Singapore Flyer, Swissotel the Stamford, Fullerton, Supreme Court, Parliament House, etc... Lovely sight to behold!
While strolling back to Marina for our midnight show, he popped the question. Right at my favourite place - Esplanade! It was veritably a dream come true. Oh yes, the funny thing was, I kinda guessed that he was gonna ask. And I had placed my folded heart in his wallet (which was in my bag) when i found an excuse to use the ladies. Heee. So when he asked, I replied "If only you could fold the double-hearts from a single note". And so, he went to buy drinks and tried getting the paper bills, sadly to no avail... So we were walking along with me giggling inside (ok, probably outside too), while he was probably thinking where he could get the paper notes for him to fold the double-hearts.
"Take out your wallet and see if you have any paper notes in there?"
He whipped out his wallet and started searching. And found the neatly folded double-hearts sitting in the bill compartment.
"So... This means?"
I blushed and smiled. THAT IDIOT. And so... "Means... You're mine from now! Haa haa haa", I quipped with a wide grin, while trying hard to conceal my embarassement. So ta-dah! Our love story began, like a fairy tale unfolding. =)))))
It helped matters that there wasn't any physical attachment or obligation that contributed to us agreeing to be together (we kept our hands to ourselves!); the fact that we could mutually come to an agreement... this mattered alot to me. It's like... we achieved something TOGETHER isn't it darlie! =) Hees.

Spread the love people!
The things we do together,
the laughter we share,
the times we tease and disturb each other, always attempting to make each other blush,
the strolls we took together, hand in hand...
"Thank God I found you!"
I was alone... until you came along...
Thanks for all that you have given me!
