I should be sleeping for my 8am class tomorrow but well, thoughts of a special someone just kept popping up in my head and I thought to just share a little of what life is like with him... (:
Sometimes, couples get caught up in finding something to do to pass time and run out of ideas where to go. It's common especially when Singapore is a tiny island and there aren't many romantic or fun places to go even when you're free. But with Sam, we spend most of our time doing nothing, really relaxing and talking about our days, things that matter, things that don't matter, anything under the sun. (Well in this case, we were hugging chunks of snow errr... in the snow. Haha! )
In many ways, he's like my best friend and I'm happy to have found that in him. I guess we don't really indulge in movies or fancy meals all the time but we really enjoy each other's company - usually over food. Food binds people, oh it really does! Hahaha. Even though I see him almost everyday like a ritual, he asks me out on special dates. The best part that happened recently - he booked a reservation for a place that he thinks I might want to go without telling me beforehand and then on the day itself, I suggest we head there. Yup - I forgot to mention he can read minds, or maybe just mine.
This was a picture of me guiltily eating an ice cream. The thing was, we ordered 2 scoops each. After trying each other's flavours, I found that his hazelnut was extremely yummy and he saw it written all over my face. After that, he exchanged his ice cream with mine and I felt so bad but at the same time extremely happy that I got to eat the nicer flavour.
This was a picture he took of me on a 3-hour rhine river cruise - I was too tired and it was too warm that I fell asleep. I woke up and he showed me all my unglam pictures and told me I couldn't delete any!!!
The best thing about him is that he makes me feel special and it's the kind of special where I feel like I'm me, entirely me, ordinary but special... not an ideal me and of course nothing like anybody else. He knows all my flaws, he sees all of them but he still chooses everyday to be with me. When a situation comes up, he explains things in perspective calmly to me and never makes me feel bad about myself. His objective is always to make me feel better, not by just telling me to feel better, but making the effort to reach out to me at my level to overcome something together with me. His patience with me is so amazing...
This was a picture where I was using the dust blower to quirt air into his ear, hair, anywhere I found funny and he could tolerate me and still use photobooth... Hahaha!
This was a picture where I asked him to wear the minnie mouse headband to take a pic with me so we would look similar and he did it, without a whine at all...
Another thing is how we love adventures and love to do them together. In the Bahamas, he told me that he booked a shark dive and I said ok. We had two days of dives and I set off thinking that it would be on the second day. On the bus to the boat dock, he said "Wait, it can't be tomorrow, it's today!" Mm yup, I had no mental preparation that I was going to do it that afternoon at all but we still went and enjoyed ourselves to the fullest!
I'm someone who can be a happy, bouncy individual by myself but yet when I'm with him, I still have the potential to be uplifted, to become this crazy individual bursting with ideas, wit and excitement that I want to share everything with him. I wonder how he does that...
Most of the time, he knows what I'm going to think before I think it and then catches me in my thought process. I also appreciate that he remembers details - I think all girls would. I think for anyone to do that, you need to make the effort and he does. For any meal he buys for me - he remembers that I don't eat chilli. For every sambal stingray that he orders, even if its for a group of people, he would order half with chilli and half without, and he would make it a point to tell the person to not put chilli on the half without bones - because he knows I always have difficulty with bones. When it comes to chicken wings, I always eat it last because I can't eat a chicken wing without making a mess and yes I'm really pampered here because whenever I'm with him, he peels his chicken wing, gives all the meat to me (and eats all the skin because I don't eat the skin) and he takes my untouched chicken wing in exchange - all the time.
For someone who never likes any sport apart from diving, going on a trek with me last year just because I said I wanted to was really special... (:
I don't know what else to say except a big thank you... to my partner who loves me without thinking, who makes me feel comfortable in my own skin even when I'm feeling out of it. To the person who always looks out for me especially when he knows he can't be there to accompany me all the time, who sends me home all the time even though it is inconvenient or when he's extremely sleepy. To the person who isn't afraid to be truthful at all levels with me, who always wants the best for me and never pressures me for anything. To the person who makes the effort to communicate with me and share with me the good and the bad, and to never run me down, ever. To the person who always protects me, sometimes even from myself. To the person who treats me like a princess yet gives me the respect and space for me to handle things on my own. Thank you baby, for never saying no to me. I'm extremely fortunate to have you in my life... (:
