I know. I know. It’s such a eeeww entry title but to give myself some credit, I swear I’m hardly those goo-goo gaga girl so just give me this one time to be just that. Hahahaha
Matt came to Hong Kong for the weekend (just one bloody night!) and gawd, I’m so happy that the day I’d been looking forward to for the past eight months may just materialise soon. Hopefully in two months’ time?
I can’t say much as of now, before things are finalised but I hope I can have some news to share soon.
Ok no, not an engagement or whatsoever. Though I’m (not so) secretly hoping that day will happen sometime in many months’ time? It feels kinda weird to be able to visualise so vividly a future with a someone you love. Not weird, maybe but just a new feeling as I’d never felt that way before.
Being a typical girl, I could definitely envision being married but I could never see the face of the groom or my future husband. Well, until I met Matt. I think with marriage, it’s really a case of either-you-know-it-in-the-beginning-or-it’s-just-not-the-right-one.
With my previous relationship, I could never envision being married then. Not once in the entire five years. Age could be a factor so I thought it’s something couples plan for eventually but with Matt, I know it’s bashful of me to even admit this but after he said something during our first date, I knew I wanted to marry him (I hope he doesn’t read this man). Even though I was still resistant to the fact that he’s Caucasian. hahahaah
But just like how a girlfriend of mine who hadn’t been in a relationship for four years, she’d recently met a man who’s her ideal man. The only thing is he’s shorter than her. Just like how life plans for us, it gives whatever we want except for a thing here or there. We either accept that’s how life is and go on to be happy and eventually overlook whatever ‘imperfection’ that was or continue the search for the elusive ‘perfect’ man.
Often times, I don’t even think of Matt as a white boy anymore. He’s just… my boyfriend. Simple as that. And just maybe, that may just help us to have beautiful children in future. hahahahaaha. Gawd, can’t believe that’s the first thing my mum said when I first told her I was going out with Matt.
Matt and I went past a baby’s store right next to H&M in Central yesterday and I’d always been eyeing a pram in the windows that looks something like this:
It’s how beautiful right! And I announced to Matt that was the pram I want for my future kids and Matt was like: “Huh but it’s so impractical! You can’t fold it and keep it in the car! Then do you want us to get a huge car (nodding at the one parked outside H&M) just to fit that pram in?” So boring! I just replied lazily that we can have a few different ones what….
Then after a while, we saw a family and the baby was in an orange Stokke (yes, PF, yes I know. hahahaa):
And Matt was like: “That’s what we should get. It’s practical and you can run with it and etc.” I said: “But it’s orange! I don’t want orange!” (And also, why the hell would I be running AT ALL?!) He said, exasperated: “We can get whatever colour you want ok!!” Matt must seriously think he’s got one hell of a bimbotic girlfriend. Sorry, baby.
The conversations this weekend were simple, nonsensical and funny with anecdotes like these and they were just the way I love them. Every time Matt comes to HK, he finds new things to love about the city and that reassures me more and more. I really can’t wait for the day to arrive when we can spend our lives together (not marriage lah, just living together). It should be soon, finally!
Though we only spent a weekend together, we whiled it away mostly by sleeping. :( Not the most practical thing to do but that boy took the 6:40am flight from SG and just like me, he can hardly sleep in flights. So he crashed for 2 hours when he arrived at my flat. Then more naps today cos that dear boy snored the whole night away and I couldn’t sleep at all until I curled up with his arm around when the sun was up! O_o
We got up to get to Happy Valley before the Dim Sum place closed at 4pm and when 4:30pm rolled around, the staff had brought out the mahjong table. Hahahahaa, so funny. And they started playing even before the customers left.
I'm loving the decor!
I’d been dying to bring Matt there, seeing he’s such a huge dim sum lover who digs chicken’s feet and chilli more than I do. And when his first request was for dim sum immediately after he saw me at the HK Airport Express train station (yah lor, not even a huge or cuddle), I knew I finally had the chance to bring him to Dim Sum!
I made him buy that Insight T-shirt in Perth. I love the colour!
And I'm loving my Giordano Concepts blazer which was such a steal and I can really wear it with anything and everything! And the best thing is, finally a blazer that fits me!!
We walked around Happy Valley for a bit and I was stoked when I saw potted hydrangeas plants! Matt was so close to getting me a pot but we weren’t heading home so quickly so didn’t manage to get one. The boy said: “Damn, I really want to get you a pot so I no longer have to send you hydrangeas.” Hahahaahahahaha, bloody hell.
We then hopped onto the tram to Causeway Bay and we walked by the cinema and saw that Revolutionary Road was showing and there were seats. Bought a pair and went into the cinema immediately. I like the show a lot. It made Matt and I think about how our relationship could possibly evolve in future but I like how we had very similar thoughts about the show and we actually didn’t think it was a depressing show. It just serves as a great reminder.
The storyline aside, I love the making of the film. I love the subtleties in some of the scenes. No dialogue needed. How Sam Mendes showed the monotony of Frank’s (Leo DiCaprio) life and etc.
We headed home to get ready for dinner with Polly and Adriano. The night actually turned out wayyy better than I expected it to be! Adriano and Matt seemed to hit it off great and shared some really mean but bloody funny jokes (which are not nice to repeat here).
Before we knew it, it was half past midnight! Matt and I trundled home and I was panting on the way home. Damn the escalators to stop operating at midnight!
Speaking of midnight, the boy should arrive in SG now. Gonna give him a ring. Hope your weekend was just as great, if not, better! :)
*mumbles* Gawd, can’t believe I actually blogged about baby prams…
