It's been an incredible year since our first date. This is a memorable moment so I’ve chosen to record the event of this special day. How this romantic story unravelled was our first dinner with friends. Once upon a night, we met in Banana Leaf and had Malaysian dinner together with S+L. I remember my reaction when laying eyes on you- you are TALL and in RIPPED JEANS and BOOTS. I made a bow, which you have been teasing me since. We met over dinner, shared bubble tea, then we left on our separate ways. The real catalyst for our relationship was “Terrace House”; when we started discussing about details of the show.

For almost 2 weeks, we’ve been busy with our lives; no meetings or dates ensued. However, your warm + constant text messages warmed my heart and reminded me that you are only “one call away” (then we moved to whatsapp lol because I texted you too much).

 

We met for our first date almost a month after. The date night VIP movie at Marine Drive- John Wick 2. What a violent movie for our first date! Coincidentally, I watched John Wick 1 so John Wick 2 was no problem: D. The movie was much better than the first. After enjoying dinner at VIP Cineplex, we had dessert at DoReMi. Even at that moment, I wasn’t sure if we were in a relationship LOL I think it was a while after when you confirmed your feelings for moi.

 

Fast forward to a year after, we visited the same VIP Cineplex at Marine Drive. We saw Black Panther together. I know the movie received high ravings so… you must go see and judge for yourself! Our plan was to have dinner at Stem; unfortunately, the restaurant was fully booked. You said “sorry…” because you didn’t figure it’d be such a popular diner. Though a little disappointed, I did not mind too much. We headed to Victoria Sushi and arrived at 8:30pm, when they served us with lightning speed. Food actually came up fast, hot and fresh! (Note to self: visit before closing, lol). We had Red Dragon Roll, Salmon Oshi, Tobiko Oshi, Ebi Oshi and chicken karaage. I also had a Sapporo just because LOL.

 

Thank you for the 365 days of fun, adventure, ups+downs. There were moments that we have nothing to say to each other. There were times our views conflict with one another. There were days we chilled in silence contently, and times when we couldn’t shut up. There were life-threatening moments (ie. Jeju) that you were the only thing on my mind- have you healthy and sound.

 

 

I <3 making food for you because I enjoy seeing the happy smile on your face.

I <3 buying mandarin peels because that’s your fav. guilty (not really) pleasure.

I <3 how we support each other even when times are tough.

I <3 how you hold my hands when we walk.

I <3 how we are both lovers of good food.

I <3 how you always have me on your mind and always want the best for me.

I <3 how you come to pick me up out of the blue. It sounds simple but there is great effort behind even the smallest gesture.

 

The biggest one was my shiba brotherhood. From non-chalant to adoring them as much as I do. I love stuffed animals and you have grown to adore them, too.

We have very different taste in life and in our daily things. I am glad that we are approaching to a mutual level together and learning more about each other day-by-day.

 

We made it! & I cannot wait to visit the place (Japan) that tied us together...

认识一周年

当时见面的契机是经由朋友介绍，当天其实他有点迟到

进来以后大家就是寒喧握手，晚餐间大家聊天 

我都跟女生朋友聊得比较热烈哈哈哈 

他就突然说 "你看过terrace house吗?" 我就说没有

他说 :你长得很像那个主持人! 

我说: 谁? 

他说 : ㄚㄚ我要找给你看!

((就是他! 居然说我跟他很像会不会太超过?? 爽爽的))

 

这个开启我们的话夹子

之后格很久没见面，但缘分很奇妙，或是人的毅力也很奇妙

他约了看电影我也说没空因为当时要考试，我说一个月之后再说吧

他说好啊 

然后一个月后才是第二次见面

见面就看了一部超级暴力血腥的动作片 John Wick 2

我也佩服自己因为这个是我的口味XD 在电影院看动作惊悚片比较过瘾呢!

 

之后去吃了DoReMi甜品，是港式甜点

我点了烧仙草，我还记的他不敢吃(外国人都不喜欢黑黑稠稠的)，但天气好冷我要吃热的我不管哈哈

他吃芒果冰，我光看就发抖@@ 那算是一个小约会

故事就慢慢发展~ 很慢很慢~

 

365天发生很多事，很多柴米油盐酱醋茶，也很多生死关头，也很多国内外的回忆

他认识我之前，没去过大统华 (惊讶吗)

他认识我之前，不知道中国菜可以在家做! 他本来没有酱油没有醋也没有五香粉之类的东西在家里

((都是我帮他添加的哈哈))

他认识我之后，学会腌肉

他认识我之后，学会做出很棒的煎饺

他认识我之后，国语有进步一点点((会唱花开月圆的主题曲喔!))

 

一周年当天庆祝发生的很混乱

看了一部普通的片子XD 但他很有心买了VIP的电影票

所以是开心的

 

晚餐没有订位所以差点吃不到

Victoria Sushi让我们飙车过去，8:30到达，菜都上的飞快!

((之前去都要等一小时，这天去10分钟就有寿司出现!))

虽然是一周年但我们过的也算平淡，没有五星级餐厅或是夜景

没有大手笔礼物，或是甜言蜜语

一种淡淡的 "阿~一年啦，还不错嘛" 的感觉
