The feeling

Today we were chilling at this place at Bishan Park. It was a really chill place but tt is not what I want to blog about today. It's about THE FEELING.

My friend was gushing about how this girl gives him tt FEELING, something tt he has not felt since secondary school. Do you remember tt feeling?? I do. But I just thought, how many people do we know tt can truthfully say tt the person they are with give them tt FEELING?? I remember what it felt like to blush and feel awkward just by hearing his name being mentioned. Or not being able to meet tt person's eye.

I still do get tt feeling sometimes. Yes, HE is capable of doing tt to me. But I thought, does he feel it too?? He, the ultimate aloof one tt seems devoid of all emotions sometimes...

When I asked him, he said,

"I knew you were gg to ask me tt! I just knew it! HAhahahahahah!"
"So?? Do you feel tt way?"
"Yes I do... (matter of factly)"
"Liar."

So tt was tt. But I guess it's the small little things. I think I outgrew the concept tt love had to be served up in grand manners and scale. I don't hanker for romantic candle-lit dinners (although they are still romantic and highly acceptable), expensive gifts (although still highly coveted and my impression of the man will rise in proportion to the price tag attached to tt gift), and huge romantic gestures like flowers, a fantastiv nightview from the top of a skyscraper...

I appreciate tt he drives me ALMOST everywhere with no complain. I appreciate tt he is proud of me in front of his friends and family. I appreciate tt he tries to make me happy whenever I finally open my mouth to voice out my unhappiness. I appreciate tt he stays back at work a little longer just so he can wait for me to finish my late classes and drive me home (not always lah). I appreciate tt he is improving (surprise surprise!!) as a boyfriend.

I am also thankful tt he is not overly eager, not overly possessive, abusive, overly manja and overly arrogant. I am also thankful tt he is very real in his attitude and fun-loving although tt is a bane too!
