Aftermath:

The Meet the Parents session went well.. Mr 8 Packs bought durian crepes and puffs from that famous durian shop at kovan.. (is it called 707? i forgot).

Of course that scored him some bonus points as my mum is a fan of durians. Dad and him chatted about the army days..

I think overall he scored at least 90 outta 100, the 10 marks is gone because he smokes!!!

Damn! haha. The first and only thing my parents asked was, "Is he a smoker?"

"Er.. ya." (I cant lie, can i?)

"Why all your boyfriends all smoker one. When he smokes better dont stand next to him hor. Later your asthma acts up again."

Oh well.

Recently we always get into arguments, sometimes, it was so bad that both of us couldnt sleep the whole night.

When the honeymoon period is over, all the differences that we "overlooked" (because we were too busy being obsessed with each other) all starts to surface..

I still remember those days while we first got to know each other. I finished work at UOB Rochor at 6, and he finished work an hour earlier at Carlton Hotel. We wanted to meet each other for dinner before I go for my dance class at YMCA at 8pm, so that leaves us 2 hours to chat over dinner.

When i got out of the bank, i saw him smoking at the stairs. And he was wearing a red bull top and khaki pants..

I remembered i laughed very loud. Cuz i dont understand (right now i still cant understand) why he dressed up like he is going to a kopitiam.

And then i also remembered awhile after we got together, i was having dinner at the Intercontinental hotel with my colleagues, so i had to wear a formal dress, a halter top with flowery prints to be exact.. after that i missed him so much that i wanted to meet him after the dinner.


He was at the void deck with his brother and his buddies. They were all discussing about the police case Mr 8 packs has gotten into. And when i reached hougang i looked so awkward with that formal dress, like so outta place..


Mr 8 Packs is a void deck kid, hates clubbing, loves to have supper with his buddies around the neighbourhood. And i feel more into my elements when i am all dressed up in town, chill out with my friends at Starbucks and chat there for hours.


Sometimes, he cant understand the reason behind spending 6 bucks for a cup of coffee when you can have it at 90 cents at the coffeeshop. And he is slightly annoyed when i talked about ambience and class.


Mr 8 Packs will always be Mr 8 Packs. And I will always be me.

But that is what makes this relationship special. If it is some other guy that shares the same style and the same taste, does that means that he will love me the same way as Mr 8 Packs did?

Does he smell like Mr 8 packs? And will he be faithful to me like Mr 8 Packs?



I just went to Huinee's father's wake this week and her boyfriend of 3 years ( the one that she used to complained about) was there to take care of all the random things and give her family emotional support..


Sometimes, couples in a long term relationship tend to take each other for granted.. sometimes even forget the reasons why they fall in love with their partner in the first place, and it could be the very reasons which annoys them now.


But when you think all that you guys have been through, you will realise there's nothing more special than the one that is always there for you, loving your flaws and all..




Flaws And All - Beyonce


I'm a train wreck in the morning
I'm a bitch in the afternoon
Every now and then without warning
I can be really mean towards you
I'm a puzzle yes indeed
Ever-complex in every way
And all the pieces aren't even in the box
And yet, you see the picture clear as day



I neglect you when I'm working
When I need a attention,I tend to nag
I'm a host of imperfection
And you see past all that
I'm a peasant by some standards
But in your eyes I'm a queen


You see potential in all my flaws
And that's exactly what I need



I don't know why you love me
And that's why I love you
You catch me when I fall
Accept me flaws and all
And that's why I love you <3
