The power of flowers...
It's used for weddings, funerals, Valentines Day, "the just because day", Birthdays , Restaurant..
It's everywhere in every corner of the world. I wasn't such a huge fan of flowers...I mean they were pretty to look at,most were expensive and I remember buying more flowers for people than I've ever received.
My dad buys my mom flowers occasionally *awwwwwwwwww*
My brother buys his gf flowers
My aunt used my uncles card to purchase her flowers then swiftly walk by his office space and say "thank you" I asked her why. She said it's because he never bothers buying her flowers because it's so sappy so she buys them with his card and it'll be a gift from him. My clever aunt. =)
Then there's me. Just like how sometimes my maternal instinct kicks in at this age, I suddenly have the urge for receiving flowers.
Everytime Smelly and I go out, I see a girl carrying flowers with her bf walking next to her, I'll give him "the look".
Or when we are food shopping, we'll pass by the flower section and I'll look at him and he'll go
"do you want me to buy them for you?"
and I'll say "no! you're not suppose to ask.You just killed the moment!"
I don't know what the big deal is here but probably just like every other women, we like to be surprise by flowers.I personally think it kills the moment when your other half ask you
"do you want me to buy you those flowers?"
followed by "go on then, pick what you want I'll buy for you"
IT DOESN'T WORK THAT WAY!!! It feels like I'm picking up my own Christmas present. -_- Believe me, I've hinted a million times. Paved the way as if I'm planning my own "surprise party" and he still didn't get the picture.
I remember talking to smelly on the phone and somehow the flower topic came up again. I complained that I can't believe I have not receive a single stalk of flower from him before.
His reply was "you were so spoil by your previous bf's with flowers. If I give you now, you won't appreciate it."
Then I kinda threw a fit (just for fun lar of course) and then he said "ok, I'll buy you flowers tomorrow"
in which I replied "no! if you buy me flowers tomorrow, then I know you're buying them and I won't be surprised anymore"
The next day, Smelly walked into the house with a bunch of flowers.-_- I don't know if I want to hug him for being so honest and adorable or strangle him for being so utterly oblivious with everything I've said and hinted in the past!
I've just learn to give up and accept the fact that he is just the way he is.Tell me I'm normal..that I'm not just throwing an insane fit on this issue. What's your take on this? I'm not being irrationally demanding am i?
I have neglected my blog again. :( Too much has happened since I last blogged.
-I finished my Masters classes and second semester exams.
-I've traveled almost the whole of Italy.
-Smelly brought me to Longleat (it's a drive through safari park)
-I've decided to stay here for good (or at least until Smelly finishes his Architectural course)
-I'm in the midst of looking for a job and doing my dissertation.
-Decided to go back to Malaysia in November instead of July for holiday.
-Smelly will join me later for Christmas.
Sasha is coming next week!! weeeeeee....can't wait to see her and have our duckfeast in Mayflower.
Had our end of term party last Friday in Uni.
I've never been for any Uni event before. That was my first and would be my last. Simply because I've finished all my classes and secondly, the crowd was crazy. Took almost an hour to get a drink. I was suppose to join Michelle to celebrate her Birthday in Oceana but the stupid bouncer wouldn't let me in unless I have my passport with me! I was so annoyed.He did random checks and of all people he had to stop me and all I had with me was my ISCS student card. I would have argue my way in but he was 2 heads taller than me...don't wanna mess with a huge man. I felt really guilty cuz my housemate and smelly didn't go in at the end. They followed me home instead. Then smelly brought me to.....
I never knew this place existed until Smelly showed me. It was either a trip to see the animals or the beach. Of course I choose the animals instead! Longleat is not your normal typical zoo. It's a drive through safari park and it's one of the largest safari park in Europe.I know this can't beat the experience in Africa but it's close! The entrance fee is £22 and you get a cd guided tour as well.
Driving through the safari park was a wonderful experience.For the first time, it's not the animals who are caged, it's us in the car! The animals get to run and roam free in massive acres of land.
I'll leave you with more pictures from Longleat. I just realized that I can't name half the animal I saw in Longleat. :(
