Totally outdated post... but I was busy!!!

Jason had to work on valentine's day, but he promised me that he had something planned for that weekend... I have to say, he really did manage to keep it a secret for quite awhile, but soon I found out what it was. A weekend suite @ Siloso resort at sentosa!

It was really sweet coz he was NEVER the romantic sort. He never planned anything. Our anniversaries are most often spent fine (some sort) dining + movie. His idea of a date is renting a dvd and buying chips and watching it in bed together. His idea of a good date is renting a dvd with violent action and spluring on kettle honey dijon chips. So you can imagine my surprise when I found out he had planned this weekend in advance coz he knew that the hotel would be full that weekend... I was more surprised that he didn't ask me for help.

So on saturday he woke up early (5 minutes before me) and said he had to go do something, which totally didn't suit me very well since I thought we had planned that weekend together.

Him: Ok, baby. u go back to sleep. I gotta go do something.
Me: HUH?? I thought we were gonna do something together today.
Him: No, this is just for me. I need to go first. Can you drive down and meet me at the hotel later?
Me: Why? Do you have another girlfriend there?
Him: No LAH, trust me. I gotta go.
Me: WTF. I wanna go also la.
Him: Ok, ok. *Then proceed to walk off and take a cab down without me.

I decided to ignore his weird behavior and go down to the hotel myself, since we paid for it and I don't wanna waste it by staying at home. When I got there, I was totally shocked.


He had decorated the entire room in tea candles and rose petals!!!
This is the door I entered...
Awww.... I'm not exaggerating when I say I totally and entirely melted...
Then he urged me to go up to the 2nd level of the suite to take a look... I ran all the way up and look at what he did to the jaccuzi area as well!
I don't even know what to say!!! I didn't get him a present!!! I was even supposed to bring the wine and I totally forgot.

He just smiled at me and told me to change into my swimsuit and have fun in the jaccuzi. Meanwhile, he brought up the ice bucket and my favorite wine, the Moscato for me to drink in the jaccuzi. The one I forgot to buy.

He planned everything flawlessly, even though I was throwing tantrums the entire day about not being able to go down to the beach early to sun-tan... coz he had to prepare all the stuff... But he just said sorry and told me that we can go the next day.

He was so sweet, he kept asking me if he did it right and if I liked it, coz he had never attempted anything like that before and he wasn't too sure if that's how it's done. I teased him and told him he shouldn't have plucked off all the petals, he should have saved me a rose. Hahaha!

Everything was so perfect because HE did it. I never expected him to do such stuff, because usually when I tell him I like romantic stuffs and like to go nice places, he just ignores me and tells me it's a silly waste of money. Even on valentine's day, he said it was stupid to go out coz we shouldn't celebrate just for the sake of celebrating. He said it should be more special than that.

I now understand what he meant. It's really the thought that counts.. I dont think it could have been as wonderful and romantic if he wasn't there with me... it's WHO i'm with and not where I am or what I have. it's HIM that makes everyday valentine's day.

The greatest gifts that he gives me aren't the shoes he buys or the dinners he takes me to... What I lie awake at night thanking God for is Jason's unlimited patience for my tantrums and my unreasonable demands. What makes me so grateful is simply his love for me and the kind gentle support he gives me when I am down, even though I tend to vent it out on him all the time. Material things may perish, but the lessons I learn from Jason... patience, strength, understanding, love, trust... will follow me all the days of my life. *Thanks, honey!*

And here's the best part of the jaccuzi... the view from the jaccuzi in the day...

And at night.
We stayed in the jaccuzi talking and drinking wine till the sun set... It was one of those moments you know you will just remember forever. I wanted to take more pictures so I can remember that day, but I know that if I stopped to take out my handphone to take pictures, I might miss a split-second of what was going on. So I rather just enjoy the moment with him.

It was the best valentine's day ever; with the best boyfriend ever.
