A Wishful Thinker……

On Friday night, friends and I decided to throw Mr Capsicum a surprise birthday party among ourselves. I thought that I wouldn’t make it on time as I had a family dinner that night, but as it turned out, I managed to make it there before the birthday boy did. We didn’t do much. Just gathered at a friend’s house and went on-line and played Wii. It was quite nice to just hang out. We hadn’t done that in ages.

Then on Saturday night, I wasn’t in the mood to go out, but thought I’d go anyways to a friend’s farewell party. Ended up at Metros and bumped into MB who said he wasn’t going to go out. Had an early night either way. Got home about 2.30am.

Then this morning, MB was suppose to come  over when he woke up.  Only because he had a really late night last night, he didnt’ wake up until 11. He didn’t end up coming over til 2. >< I could have gone shopping had I known that he was going to be that late. Dammit!

He told me a few weeks ago that he had a surprise planned for me, an early Valentine’s Day gift. The past few weeks, I had been going insane trying to work out what this surprise was. At first I got scared because he told me he wasn’t telling me in case I didn’t want to go. It made me think that this “surprise” was actually a rouse to get me to go donate blood with him. He knows I am terrified of needles, and if I have to go, he’d have to knock me out first. But then he assured me that it wasn’t to donate blood, and I relaxed a bit.

As the date drew closer, I have been wondering more and more what it could be. I thought maybe it was the gondola ride thing that I was hinting to him about, but then I freaked out, because it’s quite expensive, and in the same position, I wouldn’t use that unless it was a proposal or a major milestone anniversary, and as the latter wasn’t possible yet, I got even more worried I wouldn’t have an answer for him should it happen now. Then I realised that I was being stupid, as we have discussed it before and we both agreed that there were other things we both wanted to accomplish before if it were to happen.

So two strikes out. Then it suddenly occurred to me that he said that he wasn’t telling me in case I didn’t want to go. So I started thinking again and thought… hmm… I think we are going skydiving! He has mentioned previously that he would do it should the situation arise. For a few days I was thinking that it was skydiving. I tried to get more info out of him by asking if I should dress a certain way etc, and he was like: “Nah where what ever you normally do. ” >< Back on went my thinking cap. I couldn’t think of anything else. Until later that night, I was thinking back through everything that was discussed between each other in order to get a hint or something. Then all of a sudden, I remembered that around the time we started going our and it was nearing his birthday, I considered getting him tickets to Cirque De Solei’s Dralion show. It suddenly occurred to me that this may actually be what it is!

It wasn’t until this morning, when he asked me which restaurant on the city side was open that I finally got the information to confirm that it was indeed the surprise. When he came to pick me up, he told me we were going sky diving. I looked at him, and I saw him smirk. I knew then we were NOT going skydiving, but I played along and asked him questions about it, until he admitted that we were indeed not.  I had a small bit of doubt left, but once we got to the city and parked the car, I was convinced that I knew what it was. We got out of the car, and I, forgetting that I wasn’t suppose to know where we were going, started walking off towards riverside drive. He glared at me and asked me where I thought I was going. I was like “Oh yeah. I don’t actually know.” So I kept playing along for awhile, chatting as we went. Then when we were pretty much across the street from the big top, I stopped and asked if this was where we were going. He grinned and told me yes, and how did I know. I told him my method of deduction. He laughed at me and said I should stop being so annoying.

The show was amazing! I loved every minute of it. But when it got to the ballet on the light bulbs act, one of the girls fell, causing the others to fall too. They all landed on one girl in particular, who got hurt pretty bad. They had to cancel that part of the show, which was a disappointment, but at least it didn’t appear that the girl was injured too badly. The show ended up finishing 15 minutes earlier than it was suppose to. Still it was a really good show.

We then went to have dinner at Dusit Thai. We ordered the green papaya salad (Som tum), which made me remember a moment in Penang, where Tc, Dzoom and I ordered the same thing, and it came, but it was so hot, only Dzoom could eat it, and made me cry while Tc just gave up after one bite. The salad apart from being really hot was quite nice. We made sure the rest of our dinner was mild. LOL. We ordered the pha neang curry with beef and the mixed seafood pard mah-prow-on which was basically seafood stirfried with young coconut flesh. It was really good.

I had an amazing time and loved every minute of it. You did well babe! Thanks heaps! *MWAH!*

Next week…. its my turn to organise something.
