Today, sitting alone in my room whilst everyone else in the house is practically asleep, I cannot help but feel a sense of such immense joy. Seriously, i can practically feel it bubbling up my throat, infusing with every nerve in my body and forcing a happy, sentimental smile upon my face. It's the kind of feeling where you realize that so many things in the world are beautiful, and even if it's not everything, there are those few special ones that make everything just perfectly worth while. For me, that moment of realization happened just a short while ago. My boyfriend and I were celebrating our one year anniversary today. True, today is not the day itself, that would be on the 9th of June, but we figured since we'd have all day today, we might as well utilise it. So celebrate we did. We went to Kushinbo for lunch and had a brilliant meal. Truly, up till now, I'm still feeling absolutely stuffed from that sumptuous spread. After that, the two of us went on somewhat of a shopping spree. This I found to be immensely enjoyable. I don't know, personally, I have never found shopping to be particularly enjoyable... Yet today as the two of us walked hand in hand through a huge multitude of shops, I felt this foreign sense of excitement at the thought of shopping! It was strange to say the least, but definitely not unwelcome. I am also pleased to say that I managed to secure quite a few beautiful purchases at unbelievably satisfying costs. :) Thanks babe for that! But the highlight of the day was definitely what came after. Jared dragged me around Bishan park, looking in earnest for a particular location. My curiosity was definitely piqued, what could he have in store for me? So I followed along. Eventually, we came to one of those street soccer courts, empty and dark due to the time. He instructed me to wait at a side bench, which i gladly did, still undeniably curious mind you. With that, he proceeded inside the court, obscured from my view. Now, if you know me, you'd know that I am hardly one to be able to sit still and wait, especially when something that I really want to know about is going on. Yet I managed. Eventually, he completed what he was doing and he called me in. It really was beautiful.
Candles, lit in a warm, orange glow, sparkling in a spectacular pattern on the ground. In the darkened court, they really did seem to have an other-worldly quality to them. And the words they spelt out on the ground? To say I was touched would have been a gross understatement. I felt a warmth in my heart, blossoming from deep within, mirrored by the warmth of the candlelights flickering before us. It was so perfect. I honestly could not ask for more.
sweetie... today was truly a fairy tale, and I thank you for being my wonderful knight in shining armor. you are perfect. Thank you for this amazing surprise. Thank you. :)
