The S.O

Let it be said upfront: We've had our challenges. (right?) And the realist in me says challenges will continue to rear their heads in the horizon, snapping when given the chance.

But today, after the weekend, is a feel-good one :)

Friday was KTV day whereby the SO and a couple of the sec sch rubbish spewing kakis gathered in a KTV that I have been to many times before with friends to sing: Cry sta belle.

It was a simple affair of singing, enjoying some duets where I aim to at least not sound too bad when it's the SO singing the other mic. (Gosh I'm jealous of natural singers. But I jest)

I guess the main thing here is how she is able to mix with the sec sch kakis. Once upon a time, perhaps me being somewhat judgemental in the past, I wasn't able to bring the ex to meet this bunch of whom I thought were abnormal people who might scare off the girls. Maybe a part of me didn't want to be a part of this group, this group of misfits. (we have been labelled as such since our sec sch days)

But now, it's been a few outings and I'm just glad I can be as much of myself as I can, or at least not feel too overly different. Granted there is a natural filtering of language by the other guys, but that's their problem not mine lol

Guess that's what you get when you date someone who mixes well with guys. It's not bad :)

Saturday was Lose to Win day for the SO where she lost an amazing (and approximately on my part) 8kg plus minus. Yep I knew she would lose as much weight as she wants if she puts her mind to it! Not bad, she got a bunch of vouchers for it. I probably would need to sponsor those vouchers if I signed up :( Oh wait I lost 2kg.

And then I visited Gardens by the Bay finally. Never really got a reason to go cause I'm not exactly a flower person, but armed with a temporary loaned Olympus E-PL1 and a flower in arm, it's time!

Had a pretty fun time playing with the cameras, not so much the colour isolation modes though whatever its proper name may be. And then, ramen craving somewhat satisfied though not Keisuke-level satisfying somehow. Lots of easy laughter at each other's cute gestures, a lot of negotiation to get what each of us wants from the other etc.

It's been a lot of easy going dates with the SO. Was talking to LC and he showed me a message that made him laugh. It was from his GF which went "I forgive you. But I will punish you." Asked him what he did this time and he went "oh I forgot something which made her unhappy" This was what the ex was like, and at times it really got me upset with myself. Well I appreciate and enjoy the easy going interactions with the SO. Though as my friend demonstrated, it doesn't really matter what goes on between a couple, so long expectations of each other are met or acknowledged.

Onward to more experiences together!
