Met up with King Kong straight after my weekly sales meeting (which was bad; Boss was in a foul mood because of our poor performance...) He refused to tell me where we were heading to for dinner and told me to just follow him. I did as accordingly (and quite obediently as I felt bad that I couldn't make it on Wednesday - Boss had just given last minute notice regarding the Company's New Year dinner) I was kinda surprised when we bypassed Vivocity and Harbourfront because I thought there were decent restaurants only in these two shopping malls. I continued to follow him and was shocked to see an open-air restaurant (ala Pier 11) in front of a sea (His findings since last December) Since the restaurant that he had initially planned to go was closed, we went to TCC for dinner - I ordered Miso Sea-Perch in Daikon Sauce and Pumpkin Soup whereas he ordered seafood spaghetti. Though he kept saying that that was not what he had organized, I reassured him that everything was fine (Simplicity is bliss - I don't think it's necessary to spend a bomb to have an enjoyable night)
After dinner, we strolled near the sea, under the starry night. While looking at the dark sea, I heard a soft thud and turned around - I saw a little red box fall out of his pocket. He immediately picked it up and passed to me. I opened it and saw a delicate chain with a heart-shaped pendant (It is very sweet of him to buy it for me..) He asked me to remove the diamond pendant which I was wearing and wear the one that he bought. I refused because it was rather dark and I was worried I might drop both pendants into the sea (...which made him feel that his gift was not expensive enough, but I felt that he should have saved up for himself) Had a heart-to-heart chat with him and well, he was telling me that he really wanted to settle down with me and he would work very hard to make things work (I was so damn confused - I didn't know what to do)
Left the place for Vivocity where we got ourselves a drink to quench our thirst before taking a bus home...While on his way home, he kept asking me if I enjoyed the dinner and my reply to him was that everything was equivalent to a normal dinner outing : / To be frank, I am really very touched by his gestures; despite no expensive candlelight dinner or pricey diamonds...
I felt loved.
