During our early days of dating, I look forward to Vday with a hint of worry and anxious. Why? Because no matter how well it goes, both of us (my now hub then bf) would always end up quarreling This lasted for 6-7 years. All due to some stupid reasons that I could not remember.
Our first Vday celebrations, he brought me to the Halo Cafe (海螺餐厅） for some local live singing and we joined a small contest including some impromptu acting that I think we won 2nd :) I still keep the chocolates till few years back. I think that year we ended up arguing for don't know what as well.
Normally on Vday, he will buy me roses. Though I have told him not to waste the money but he insist on buying me some. Yes, he is a romantic guys. Sometimes he would buy extra for his mom, his sisters and my mom as well! Very thoughtful ya?
This year's valentine, he is working. So he didn't go get me flowers :) Maybe he overlooked? Or maybe he is bored with my not too excited expression in the previous years when receiving the flowers? But he did suggest to have a cozy dine our for dinner. I remember I cooked him a simple valentine's dinner and I did offer to re-create that dinner. But he insisted to dine out. As to where.... I really have no idea but he did suggest 1U so the whole afternoon I was thinking to go where for dinner. FYI, we are not too fancy with the Valentine SET dinner. To avoid those, maybe go for Sashimi? Ramen? Fast Food?
Fast forward till dinner time, as he is stuck in the traffic, I asked him what shall we eat for dinner and suggested Ramen, and he gave me a funny face. And suddenly la table came into my mind so I suggested and he happily nod his head. Cool!! After parking, we just head straight to La Table.
"Hi, Can we have a table for 2"
"Oh Hi, Good Evening, Do you have a reservation?"
*Looking around the place, not that full what, y need reservation?*
"Nope"
"Got, got reservation, Table for 2, under Chew" Out of no where, he replied.
I smiled at him as I thought he is trying to tease the waitress.
Then the waitress checked the list and put a tick on the reserve list - Chew X2 pax then only I realise he indeed made a reservation for it?!
Frankly I am touched, happy and felt very warm by his little gesture. If i remember correctly he had never made any Vday reservations :)
And needless to say, we ended the day with a lovely dinner, no quarrel! :)
