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?
