HAPPY EASTER!
Normally, I dont really give a shit about Easter because I have never ever celebrated it in all my years of existence on this earth and chocolate eggs were never that great and common in Singapore (not to even mention China). Today however, is the best Easter I have ever had (alright, it's also the only one I have ever had, so not much competition)
The morning started off with loads of treats from Will: two packets of Welsh cakes (because I love them), one Lindt egg, one Lindt Easter bunny, one mini eggs nest cakes (they are seriously awesome) and a creme egg big Easter egg. I felt so loved! Even though I knew he got me stuff few days ago, I still find everything really sweet and nice and surprising because I didnt expect that much easter love! The mere look and boyish smile he gave me while handing me the treats one by one is enough to make me melt. I think I should stop before I start sounding disgusting. (:
There is one thing I do learn about relationships though. Before being with Will, I always thought having a relationship with someone you really like will be easy: there's understanding without much explicit verbal communication, there's only happy moments where he/she seems to be the only living human being in the world, and etc all those idealistic romantic stuff. That was when I was really judgemental and didnt understand why people could have so much trouble in relationships. I mean, if it's so annoying and filled with anger, just break up! But ever since being with Will, I think I am starting to mature in my thoughts on a much higher level (which is of a different dimension altogether). It's not like we dont have any arguments at all (i dont think that will work in any relationships because the only reason i feel angry with Will sometimes is because I like him too much and have this mental ideal model which i want him to follow), but arguing and being cross with each other actually make me feel secure about our relationship. and we communicate a lot through the rows we had. It just that I do tend to want to remember and note down the happy moments and avoid those silly crazy moments. you know those kind of incidents which were nothing important or significant enough to deserve any mentioning but then they just magnified between the two of you and eventually became bombs and exploded? those were the moments which me being me, the bonkers-and-dont-give-a-shit-about-being-embarrassed-when-crossed me, would either shout in public and/or cry out loud and/or not talk at all and walk off in a direction which i dont even know where i would be heading to. Will, being the sometimes mean but always apologetic and accommodating loving bf, would then try to hush me or apologise to me. I am bieng such a nice girlfriend now putting myself in a bad light so dont you ever dare quote these words in the next argument.
well but ya, i digressed. those moments, they dont make me feel like we are not suitable together. they can be beneficial really. and everything's not as easy as breaking up of course. most definitely. arguments are nothing compared to how much you feel about the other person. things are complicated. for now, i just know that i have this one conqueror of my heart and i am satisfied and not vulnerable at all.
AFTER THE BIG BIG DIGRESSION,
after getting all the easter treats from my favourite person in the world right now, morgan came into the room with a message for an easter egg hunt. Will's parents were really nice and included me in the treasure hunt, looking for chocolate eggs all over the house. i felt like a kid again and more chocolate treats were added to my loot as shown above. wahahah!
and then, will and i watched "The Big Lebowski" on the laoptop as our couple easter movie. It was just alright and it was two hours long. I wont recommend it though. Then, we had bacon sandwiches for lunch with fizzy drinks.
Oh, before I forget, I made a chinese meal for the family yesterday and it was almost a disaster because when i finished with the main dish, which was sweet and sour pork, I realised i forgot to cook the rice. so by the time rice was cooked, i was running more than an hour late and the battered sweet and sour pork was mushy. My egg omelette was weird too because of the wrong wok and we didnt even serve the cucumber salad. despite the late dinner, everyone still really liked it though. I really hope it's not because of british politeness because they did get themselves second servings.
so ya, today, the plan was to have will's grandparents over for a barbecue dinner. and will's mom asked me if i could marinate some pork. to be honest, i said yes without thinking and Will was just a bit horrified. so he made me worry about my 'marination skills'. durng the barbecue, bethan (will's mom) kept on promoting the pork as "pork with a chinese marinate" or "pork marinated by Kayla" and i really wished she wouldnt associate me with the pork. the good thing was will's dad barbecued the pork last and by then, everyone's almost very full. well, what i least expected was that somehow everyone found it to taste like mcdonald's sausage in the sausage mcmuffin when i actually used quite a fair bit of crushed ginger in the marinate. it was still good though so i am very proud of myself.
i love family barbecues. they are awesome and welcoming and all.
This is another picture of OUR loot and big easter eggs. (:
tomorrow is oakwood theme park day with adam (will's best mate) and his girlfriend holly. I cannot wait! arhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
This is random but check out my new Vans!
When i was walking along the bay, there was this little boy who said he loved my shoes at least thrice so yay. it's my first pair of vans and finally i have a pair of vans when i really should be in the high-heels age group right now.
but well, who cares?
