I Luv Weekends

I lurrvvve Saturdays. Sleeping in. Grocery shopping. Lots of retail therapy. Puurrrrfect :)

My neighbours must think that i have a lot of admirers, given the number of bouquets i receive a month. But tough luck, i've only had one man sending me flowers for the past 6 years (heh). It's always a surprise to come home to bouquets and stuffed toys lying at my doorstep. Thank you, it's really very sweet of you :)

Well initially, he thought i was the cool and independent sort (well, i was, before i met him!) that didn't need romancing with roses and stuffed toys. But then again, when i first became his girlfriend, he sent me roses every month on our anniversary (till my mum asked me to tell him not to waste money anymore haha). 6 years have whizzed by since then and it would be an utter lie to say that there was never a time that the sparks were lost between us, but someone once said that seeing me and him together is so refreshing because we look like we're freshly in love and it doesn't show that we've already been together for so long......

Romance IS important, that's why Singapore has some sorta romance campaign going on (although i think that's totally stupid, cos i thought everyone should know its importance! Well at least I DO!). I don't just mean romancing each other during the "honeymoon period" when the spark, the passion (and/or the lust) is flying through your heads. What i mean is, everyone deserves to be romanced even if they're 50 years into a marriage. Dad still buys things secretly for Mum to surprise her after 30 years of marriage. They say that you often look for images of your parents in your marriage partner, and i think that is so true for me. I am a die-hard romantic and i want to be romanced till i'm 80! I don't ever want to be in a marriage where we stop romancing each other because "aiyah we're already lao fu lao qi (read: old husband old wife), so don't need to say i love you, or celebrate wedding anniversary." There is an old couple in Regina Coeli (the church i go to when i was in Brentwood) and they're probably 80 yrs old or so. When the weather is hot and the old man sweats as he's attending mass, the old lady actually takes out her nice-nice embroided hanky and wipes his forehead for him. That is romance for you! I don't believe in bullsh*t like "as long as i know he loves me, i don't need anything else" or "it's all in the heart". Don't delude yourself lah. Either that, or you're Jesus Christ. Well, i'm not! Everyone needs to feel loved and love is nothing unless u give a value to it, and that comes through saying you love someone, and showing you love someone no matter how small the gesture is (even just exchanging seats on the bus with me just because the sun gets me). Humans are visual creatures. As least for me, i can't live on an abstract concept of love. I need to be told that i'm loved, and need to be shown that i'm loved. Many long distance relationships don't survive because of that same reason. Thinking about it, i ought to feel lucky that there is someone who has waited for me all this while......

p.s many people must be nodding their heads in agreement now, especially you.
