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.
