Happy!

Somehow today feels different. I have the drive to work. Usually I'll just drag my time. Maybe because I was waiting for the end of the day, so that I get to meet with my boyfriend.

I dated him for dinner tonight because he's on midshift and my dad has dinner. Otherwise, I would be all alone. So I took this opportunity.

I left earlier than usual, but was still caught in the KL jam. pfft. But regardless, I still manage to reach within his dinner time.

When he told me that the dinner place would require to walk a bit. I didn't know we were required to walk that far. I was sweating the moment I reached the place, but it was all worth it! I get to walk with him and saw him in formal clothes ^^

Dinner was just so-so. I don't care, during the dinner, I was worried that we would bump into his colleagues. I am shy. HAHA. Gladly, we didn't.The usual place that he said would normally filled with his colleague at that hour was empty. I thought luck was on my side.

Walking back, we saw his colleague in a restaurant. That was fine, because he was seated inside. Just wave and say goodbye. But, later on the way back, we met up with his whole team! Oh am gee. I didn't know if my face were flushing because of the hot weather or was it because of the crowd. But regardless, Jon kinda intro-ed me to his teammates. I appreciate that, though it was just "Guys, meet Joanne. Joanne, guys." "Hi, Guys." Stood there awhile, then off we go heading back to his office.

My heart was definitely beating fast for some reason. I don't know why..whenever I meet new people and especially a big group, I'll get nervous. That is why I don't like to go in crowded area and even to social parties. I'm an introvert that way.

Nevertheless, I was happy today. Got to meet with le boyfie. ♥

dream actress?

It feels as though when she had passed away, she had became an actress.
A dream actress, where she appeared randomly in our dreams acting in many different scenes and settings.
One of it was just last night. I dreamed of her again.
This time it was a scene where Malaysia is at war with Japanese. LOL.
There's only the 4 of us, in that dream, my second brother was at JB.
So, we were trying to escape from the war zone, setting was at my housing area.

Sometimes it was at home, other times it was at random shopping malls or park.
I have no idea how that kind of dream happened, but it was great for her to be in my dream.
I miss her a lot.

I've learned to grow up since she is gone.

Just a random thought, if you're working, you should learn to be independent.
Parents can't take care of you forever.
Take the time now to learn from them, not counting on them nor taking advantage of their presence.
Take some time to understand them or just to accompany them. Talk to them.
You'll miss this moment that you'll never get to experience again once they're gone.

I knew a person who count on her mom a lot, (rather the mom still does things like chores for her even though she's already in late 30's). It's not like she couldn't afford or she's disabled, no offense, but I feel it should be the other way round now that her mom is already old.

Vday

Valentine's day. A day for all the couples to be together and celebrate this one day event. Where every malls is crowded and the road heading towards there is jam. Also, not to forget, gift prices increases that includes chocolate, soft toys, flowers, accessories or all sorts of fancy gifts !

This is the day to remind your boyfriend, or girlfriend, that you have each other. Showing your affection towards them. Well, is this the ONLY day that you remembers them? What about your family?

I believe couples should not only show an extra care or attention only on this day, but I do not deny the fact that having one special day like this makes it more meaningful to do so. It's just like birthday. Eating cake on your birthday means more than eating cake on any normal day.

To me, I don't deny that this day is special, but I don't require my boyfriend to spend extra bucks just for the items that is much cheaper if compared to any ordinary days. But he's sweet that way, when he surprises me.

That afternoon, I got a call from an unknown number (silly delivery boy) . Here goes the conversation.

Delivery boy: "Hello, ini Ms. Joanne ke? ( Is this Ms. Joanne?)"
Me: "Yes"
Delivery boy: "Sini ada hantaran bunga dari xxxcom, awak nak saya hantar ke atas ke awak datang lobi untuk terima? (Here is a flower delivery from xxxcom, do you want me to deliver to your office upstairs or do you prefer to collect them here at the lobby?"
Me: "*blur* Err... saya turun skarang (I'll come down now)"

When I received it, I was so blur that I called up Jon to confirm.. ^_^

I was embarrassed, but at the same time I was so happy. I even asked him if I could keep it inside the car first, because I was so embarrassed to go up to the office with the bright pink pillow and the roses.

I went into the lift to get to Basement. Only then I realized, I have no car keys with me. I was wearing dress/skirt that day, thus, no pocket and I was rushing down that I forgot to take them.

So I went up. Stood awhile at the entrance only to think what speed should I run to my station. I think I went quite fast. But I failed.

One of my colleague sat next to my station saw it. As I placed them down on my table, he stood up, and he took it real quick and raises his hand together with the gifts. OH AM GEE.
It's so embarrassing! As I was sitting at the end of the office, raising it up meaning it could be seen from the other end of the office.

I can't imagine how red my face were, my other colleague told me I was flushing red !
My manager came over to my stations after that and he asked me who gave it to me and what do I think about receiving flowers.

Honestly, I've said many times, I still feel that I don't prefer receiving flowers, because I don't know what to do with it after it wilt. :( It's sad to see them wilt.
Regardless, I was super happy.


After work, I met up with Jon and we went for dinner. Simple dinner at Ninja Joe's, our favourite burger joint. There were less people anyway, and they didn't charge extra.


On our way back, we passed by Victoria Station. The road  towards the restaurant was super jam. There's even queue outside the restaurant. We're glad we didn't have it at any fancy restaurant.

We went home early that day and I thought I could celebrate a little with dad, but he's not home yet. He was still with his colleagues. Oh wells.


Thanks babe for the surprise. ^_^
Happy Valentine's day.

Wedding anniversary.





"Till death do us part" .
This phrase has never send a chill to my spine before.
Not until today.

To know that she has been gone for more than half a year.
But I still miss her.

Regardless,
Happy wedding anniversary mom and dad.. 
Without the both of you, there's no us.
I love you ^^
