surprise from my angel...

Yesterday wasn't such a bad day at work. In fact, one of the days that I looked forward to 'cos I didn't have to teach and I could actually finish up some work.

But I was really tired by the end of the day. First, I had tons of things to finish up plus I had training with NP. By the time training was done, I was absolutely zonked. I think niceguy knew.. Cos he went home to pick up the car and told me to drive my car home and we'll take his car.

But... The highlight of my night was when I got into the car and he said, "Dear, I have something for you." I thought it was one of those corporate gifts he gets sometimes and he got something cute like magnetic clips. So I didn't think much of it. But something about that sheepish and expectant look on his face just didn't seem right.

He reached behind for his pouch and pulled out a box! With a ribbon!! It was REALLY a gift!! I was really surprised... I think I held on to the box for a full minute before I untied the ribbon. And it was something I've been meaning to buy for sometime but just didn't have the time to go get it. Budget has been a little tight too...

No doubt, it was a very practical gift.. Something I really needed rather than wanted. But the fact that he bought me something while he was out, made it really special.. But he had to spoil the moment by saying, "Isn't this better than flowers?" Argh.....

Guys just NEVER understand... I agree.. Flowers are an absolute waste of time, money and space. But its precisely because of the above reasons that girls absolutely look forward to receiving them. The sheer fact that its outright impractical makes it all the more appealing. So dear.. *hint hint* :P

Nevertheless, thank you for the sweet thought, baby... You really made my day... *hugs*
