Our Chapter J: Our 19th Days Together, Part 1

Friday, 15th January 2010

I was expecting my Jen's arrival at Penang this Saturday.
Her company is having team-building at PD today until the next morning.
I thought it's gonna be very tiring for her to come over after PD,
but she wants to come... and in my heart, I actually did want her to come.
Coz we missed each other mah.

I was thinking about giving her a surprise.
But what kind of surprise leh...?

In one of our phone conversation, I came to know that she likes cheese tarts.
So I was actually planning to buy cheese tarts for her.
After taking some consideration, it's not special enough.
Since she'll overnight at my house,
and my house does have a kitchen... I planned to cook for her.

Other than rice, maggi mee, failed-miserably maggi goreng and no-one-wants-to-eat-kind-of pizza... I don't know anything else.
I called up my friends and asked them for some ideas and recipe.
I got one at first... Mushroom soup.
But hor... after a long trip from KL to Penang...
takkan only drink mushroom soup meh?
So I called up another friend to ask for another recipe... Spaghetti!

EXCITED LOH~!

Saturday, 16th January 2010

The next morning... woke up early early morning...
Morning call her... to hear her voice in the early morning is good and healthy for my ear.
But then... she got bad sorethroat.
Aih... She sounds real bad.

She told me that she needs to go back office to do some work and will let me know the time of her departure from KL after that.

I went yam char with myself at a coffee shop nearby,
And read newspaper... Not really have the mood to do long reading...
So I just saja read the horoscope of the day.

My horoscope Taurus read as follows, with exact words;

"The first part of the day looks dreary but this changes as the day progresses and by evening beautiful things happen."

Jen seems like having a busy time at office... and expected would arrive in Penang by evening.

Her horoscope Scorpio says... Short one; "Today's a good day for short trip."

KL to Penang considered short? Hm... For some countries, it is short one...


Calvin called me up for yam char session.
I told him about my surprise plan... and I'm still wondering whether...
Spaghetti and mushroom soup is appropriate for my Baby~ since she's having a sore throat.
Calvin told me... "Cook porridge lor."
So, I asked him the recipe... and went shopping for the ingredients at Tesco Extra.

One potato. One carrot. One pack of minced meat.

=)

After the happy shopping, while having a smoke break...
She SMSed and told me her "meeting delayed to 2.45pm, and if it's too late, then..."
Happy meter dropped to zero.
Jen might not be able to make it... She might not come down to Penang as planned...
Where is my beautiful evening?

But still... since the horoscope sounds good... I chose to believe the horoscope is chun one.
I just continue do my stuff...

3.54pm she SMS-ed me... Just finish meeting... Going back office to do some work.
4.15pm she's still in the office...
4.30pm still in office...

And she told me most probably she's not coming...
Where is my beautiful evening?

We want to see each other soooooo fmuch.
And she's having sorethroat...
I want to cook nice porridge for her...
BUT WHERE IS MY BEAUTIFUL EVENING!?

So what I was thinking?
Since she can't come over, I'll just have to make things happen...
I decided to go KL.
I called up to check some hotel...
I packed my bag... and pei par kou...
I started walking to the bus terminal...
I wanna tell my Princess, that her Prince will go all the way from Penang to KL, just to see her and spoonfeed her Pei Par Kou to ease her sorethroat... to ease my Baby's uncomfortable feeling.
And rather than asking Where is my beautiful evening...
I'm gonna create my own Beautiful Evening!


On my way to bus terminal...
She called me and asked what am I doing..
Hm... since I will need her to book a hotel for me...
And since she asked me to inform her if I'm goin to KL...
I let her know, "Baby I am on my way to the terminal and I'm coming over."

I don't know whether I surprise her or not...
But she did surprised me... "Baby, I'm about to reach Ipoh d... I was actually in the bus an hour ago."

Beautiful evening~~~~~~~~~
My happy meter hit the sky.

I kuai kuai went home start cooking my porridge for my Baby.

I skinned the potatoes with care...
I cut the carrots with patience...
I cooked the porridge with love...

19.30pm... She arrived at bus terminal.
I was done cooking... Rushed to the bus terminal to pick her up...
=)
We went home...
I served her porridge...
Unbelievably... It's delicious... My first time cooking porridge...
She blushed... Watery eyes... (Yea, your eyes was watery Baby...)
I felt so good... I cooked for someone I love...
I'd always wanted to do that...
The kind of guy who cooks for his woman...

As blogged about this... Thinking back her expression... and those moments...
Time stopped... I'm hanging by the moment.
I remember everything so clearly...

Never take each other for granted.
Start our everyday like our first.
Every date like our first.
Appreciate every moment we have together...
Live our every moment like our last...

That's all for part 1...

I miss her now...
I miss her smiles... her hands... her kisses...
Long distance is not easy...
But whenever I close my eyes... All our memories, our moments will flash back...

Baby, if you're reading this... most probably at your office...
I wanna say something that you already know... and something that I would say a few times day... everyday...

Baby, I love you <3

For Jenna my Love,

Memory of our Chapter J.
