It's been a crazy weather recently in Penang. Trees been blown off its roots, traffic lights collapsed and billboards as well as hanging ads taken down by mother nature herself. Pics ahead, taken about 2 days ago...

I have been thinking of as many ways as possible to celebrate your birthday, since several weeks ago. At least there's something for me to look forward to until the day we finally meet up again. There are several cozy restaurants around this island that I've taken into consideration. I know you like to go to the seaside, the beaches. So I decided to pick my favourite place, a classy combination of restaurant and lounge, located just by the sea.

Made the reservation at 8.30 on Monday but I wanted to take you out about an hour earlier to avoid any traffic congestion. Well, actually I wanted to take this opportunity to take you to the yard beside the restaurant to show you the view by the sea. When we were standing at the yard looking towards the gaping sea, I felt calm and at the same time delighted that you were there beside me at that very moment.

Not long after that I walked you through the front doors and finally headed to the dining section. Just as I have expected it to be. The environment was quiet and relaxing, filled with soft musical tunes. A perfect setting to have my first dinner there with you. As I was looking at the menu, you asked me to make the choice for you. Fine, I obliged and order the meal as soon as I'd made up my mind. The food there is quite pricey. It's not that I'm surprised, I've already expected it. When I looked at you sitting right in front of me in your lovely dress, the prices of the meals don't matter anymore. To have you there with me on that pleasant evening was simply.... priceless.

When the food arrived, I was glad that I made the right choice for you when I looked at the dish. When my meal was served, I thought I had ordered an appetizer. The portion of the meal didn't really look like a main course, seriously. Honestly, I wasn't full after finishing the meal but I hardly felt the hunger that whole evening when you were with me. Later on I suggested that we have dessert at the lounge. I don't know why you didn't want to at the first place but we shifted in the end after I insisted to.

While we were at the lounge waiting for the dessert, I asked you to wait right there while I walked out of the front door to make a call. Actually, I only made it seemed like I was making a call. I wasn't. Instead I went to the car and brought the flowers out from the backseat, well hidden. Grabbed it firmly in my hands and off to the lounge I went. I noticed you were taking some pictures around the place when I was walking towards you. I sneaked up to you from behind quietly and bent down to hand you that bouquet of roses. Pink and red roses with a combination of red and black decoration around it. Suited your dress perfectly. I knew you like black, but the coincidence of the decor and the dress was really unexpected. When I looked at your face smiling away as you were receiving the roses, I could swear that both my knees could've dropped directly to the floor if I hadn't placed my hand on the couch when I bent down. That sweet smile of yours has never ceased to mesmerise me.

As we were walking out of the door and heading to the car you gave a light kiss on my cheek while your arm was clutching onto mine, whispered a "thank you" into my ear. On the contrary, I should be the one to thank you for spending that wonderful evening with me. In reality it's just a dinner for the both of us, but you made the reality seem like a sweet dream that I don't wanna wake up from. After all the things I've been through to make sure this date of ours will go perfectly well, all I wanted to hear from you was to say "yes". You didn't have to say anything else, a simple "yes" was all I needed and thankfully you did. For the first time, I felt that everything I had planned had gone according to the way I wanted it to be.

Thank you for spending this pleasant evening with me. You made it all worthwhile.

Every..single..moment.. of it....

I have just realised that I've never done a post to dwell a bit on my personality. I wish I had done this long ago to avoid any unwanted problems and intense situation with certain people. I guess it's not too late for me to put up some brutally honest stuff about myself huh...



I think I'll just leave it as it is for now. Probably will add more to it when something new crossed my mind. Feels slightly better after getting some points off my head and threw them in here.

I'm currently keeping myself occupied with this t.v series, Heroes. Story revolves around a group of ordinary citizens across the globe with extraordinary ability. Highly recommend this one to anyone who hasn't seen it. You should take my words seriously, coming from a person who rarely (very rarely) watches the t.v. I'm done with ep. 17, another five more (downloading) to go ^_^
