Christmas mood...

Spent my Christmas eve with my gf at esplanade..atmosphere was brilliant, with people gathering in groups chatting, cheering, waiting for the clock to strike 12..

Went to her house to fetch her as her mum cooked some snacks and wanted me to try some..also her grandmother wanted to see me...her mum invited me for dinner but I turned down the offer as her relatives will also be coming and I am unprepared for such occasions...it rained heavily and before we decided to set off, some of her relatives had already arrived...

Its the first time I am with her on this special occasion, the season of joy and giving..we went shopping at Westmall for my Christmas present which was a nice shirt brought at VIP...initially wanted to buy long sleeve pressed shirts at G2000 but its quite expensive...we decided to settle down with more practical stuffs like shirts as our room is quite small to contain display items...

After that took a bus and alighted near Tanglin, where there is a photo exibit of places in the world...I went around snapping cool pictures..around 50 of out of hundreds of them..

Then strolled along Orchard road and we brought some snacks and grape juice for dinner as we had quite a heavy tea-break at her house earlier...

Along the way, I took shots of the lighting and christmas trees then we went to esplande to enjoy the snacks while we waited for the countdown.there wasn't really one but u can feel people around u counting down..people were spraying some kind of foam on one another and gals were screaming at the sight of it...

I cherish and appreciate every moment with her on this special festive season which is her favourite time of the year...reminiscing all the wonderful times we had together....just so fulfilling and heart-warming...so happy to just have u by my side...

Also had a ex sec sch mates class gathering at Zunkai's house...it has been 3 years that I have last interacted with some of them..though only around 15 people turned up, we enjoyed ourselves, chatted happily and had a small christmas present exchange..food was great with log cake, ham, satay, turkey, spagetti, sotong balls etc...there was also a christmas tree for us to put our presents under it..it was disheartening to note that time pass so fast and soon we had to leave for home about 10pm...quite delighted to see my frenz..soon the poly guys will be in NS, joining me to suffer...haha..the gals will be proceeding into their second year in uni..all the best to all of u...rem to keep in touch!!

Our first anniversary

5 Dec 2005 was a much anticipated day for me as it marked the first year of my relationship with my gf...a pity 5 Dec landed on a boring Monday, thus we celebrated our day on 3 Dec...Before this special day came, I did some prep like what to do and buy, where to go, what happens if it rains, etc...

My initial plan was to watch Zathura at Orchard cineleisure, a space adventure movie, in some ways similar to Jumanji...but she was not very much interested in the plot...in the end, we just stroll along Orchard road and went to kino..along the way I saw chin ni with his gf, Zhi zhong...

Then we proceeded to plaza singapura before having our dinner at fish & co in glasshouse...we were quite early there and requested to be seated on the second floor. The ambience was nice with the courteous waiter and waitresses...I settled down with fish and chips while she chose baked salmon...the place suddenly blackout while we were enjoying our meal..if only there were candles available then....

After our dinner, I wanted to bring her to fort canning park but she didn't want to go there as it is dark and quite errie..instead we went to esplanade promenade park...I asked her to face the sea while I carried out my little surprise for her...I took more then the amount of time I had planned but she was very obedient and patient that time, except for a cockroach which freaked her out...

Then I asked her to close her eyes while I lead her to the place where I wanted her to stand...I did one big heart and 2 small heats with light sticks..after she opened her eyes, together we wrote peacock and squirrel on top of the heart...

This is how the thing looked like in the end...it was quite cute and beautiful as it glowed in the dark...not forgetting the flowers that i specially picked and brought for her...

Happy first anniversary peacock....

My significant other....

Almost everyone who is a friend of mine kept bombarding me with the same questions: Do u have a gf? How did u know her? How did u woo her? When did u know her? How long did u know her?
Apparently people around me are quite interested about my relationship with my gf...

Some of u might have recalled her as baby peacock, and me as little squirrel...haha..one of my bunk mates in SOA called her 'my significant other' - that's how I got the title of this blog...I shall dedicate this blog to solve all of your queries about our relationship...

Frankly speaking, I have never contemplated having a relationship until I met this girl in my JC years. I knew her since my JC first 3 months in JJC...didn’t really talk to her during that time as I was too obsessed with schoolwork I should say. Only remembered her as a tall girl from swiss that's all. She remembered me as the guy in green...

Maybe it was fate or god's will to bring us together. After first 3 month, I came to realise that we were in the same class, same CCA, same project work group etc...that is how we got so close in the end..I also found out that she actually lives 2 bus stops away from me and we could click pretty well...As time goes, we understand and knew each other better. Quite frequently, she would come and 'disturb' me with phonecalls, the average duration about half an hour, the longest being 4 hours...

In addition, she couldn't click with the girls from our class. Instead she often finds herself in our group where one of us is her secondary school friend from swiss cottage. This is also one way I got closer to her...My feelings for her came as early as July in JC1 and continued to develop throughout the time I knew her...I nearly wanted to hold her hands then but i couldn't bring myself to it as my priority was to excel in my 'A' levels to secure a place in uni..I also wanted to prove myself given the bad results I obtained in my 'O' levels....

Way before our relationship started, I already held her hands...the first time was during 14 Feb 2003 when our school organised an event called 'Love Fiesta'...Our booth set up by our class was running out of supplies and both of us went to buy it..On the way back while crossing the road, I held her hands in view of her safety...I was also quite embarrassed when one of my secondary schoolmates saw it..After crossing the road, she pulled her hands away from mine as she was quite shy then...

The second time I unknowingly held her hands was during an army open house last year at safti...I don't know how I got the courage to do that but our hands just came together as one. I was wearing a harry potter tee then and she was laughing at my tee, saying that I was kiddy...haha...we had a great day exploring the things there but was quite disappointed when the military rides closed due to the rain...but we managed to ride the Bronco that time...I also left a message saying that I will be coming to NS soon on a board in an exhibition room..After the event we lost our way...we took the wrong bus which landed up in a carpark in Jurong camp...From there, we walked towards SAfti, out of Jurong camp and to jurong point..along the way we were chatting happily with our hands held together...

The first time she laid her head on my shoulder was on 31 Dec 2003 when our school was organising a countdown event which started in school and proceeded on to boon lay cc thereafter..After we were dismissed at boon lay cc, we walked around to pass time, waiting patiently for the countdown event...At some point of time, she just leaned against me as she was tired...

The first time I gave her flowers was on 14 Feb 2004 after the Love Fiesta event...My friends were telling me to give her flowers as a form of appreciation...

The first time we confessed our feelings for each other was on 2 April 2004 in a bus ride home..I very much wanted to do that in JC1 but I didn't have the courage to do so. It was quite hard to admit I had feelings for her at that time but managed to do so before I alighted...thereafter, we became even closer and I didn't consider anyone else except her...

The first time when I officially asked to to be my gf was on 5 Dec 2004...on a happier note, our first anniversary together just passed 5 days ago...

The first time I celebrated her birthday with her was on 13 Jun 2004 in sentosa..I gave her a squirrel piggy bank to mark my presence, not for her to save up...haha..coincidently, her sec fren brought her a piggy bank too...

There are lots of other first times to mention but these are the more memorable ones....

During our time in JC, people were already asking me whether we were in a relationship as we were often together as a group if not in a pair. If I am not with her, my friends will ask me where she is...I also find myself mixing with the girls better in my class and they were asking me how was my relationship with her...

Glad to know u and be with u my dear peacock....
