Arguments

Was feeling very drowsy when King Kong called to wake me up at 2:20pm (Yes, usually I feel terribly grouchy being awaken from deep sleep) Met up with him and both of us decided to go to East Coast Park to have a lazy afternoon. Went there by bus and during the journey, he started to throw me countless of questions of what I had been doing for the past week and asking me not to play too much PS2 games lest my head spins again. I started to get irritated and told him off (Remember I was still feeling damn grouchy?) A serious discussion followed and ultimately, I demanded to get off the bus as I felt that there was no point in going to East Coast Park.

Alighted at the bus-stop opposite The Esplanade and the serious discussion morphed into an argument - He mentioned that he had been working till the wee hours and sleeping for about 2 hours everyday just to meet my expectations; asking me to spend time with him on weekends would be good. However, I told him that I wouldn't like that as I would prefer to have more free play (Have constantly been looking forward to Saturdays and Sundays to recharge at home and to do whatever I want to do) instead of routinizing our schedule. As bad as I am, I told him that I have every right not to meet him on a constant basis since we are not committed to each other (and I knew these words hurt him badly... : /I felt guilty actually...)

Resolved not to waste the afternoon quarreling, he relented and we went to Marina Square for KTV. It was rather awkward to be sitting side by side in the same little room initially as I was still suffering from the aftermath of the argument. However, the tension between us ceased and I must say that we were quite happy belting out all kinds of songs : ) While I was busily singing my favorite song "Lonely" by Grasshoppers, he whipped out food containers from his bag - They contained chunks of teriyaki chicken thigh and an omelette sandwich. I was surprised and touched by his sweet gesture ( T - T ) Despite feeling full, I wolfed down the teriyaki chicken chunks and a bite of the omelette sandwich (Applause to this guy who really knows how to cook and loves to cook for me : / ) Left for dinner at the Food Loft after 4 hours of crooning.. : P

Strolled around Suntec City and Marina Square afterwhich and I realized that he had changed; he is no longer chatty, lively and loving as he was : ( He is more haggard, drained, unhappy and snappy now :~ ( I felt that there was nothing much to talk to him as I was afraid that another argument would entail. As he was in need of sugar rush and I, a drink, we headed to MacDonald's. He had apple pie and tea whereas I had tea (without sugar - I no longer drink sugary tea) before we walked to Bugis to take Bus 51 home.

During our bus journey home, he dozed off and after he woke up, he complained that his back ached badly. I burst out saying that I didn't quite like the idea of him working till the wee hours and having just 2 hours of sleep everyday; I explained to him that it was very unhealthy to do so and the symptoms of insufficient sleep had surfaced; it could be too late to do anything if he continued and collapsed : / Apparently, he brushed me off by assuring me that the current situation would only be temporary. I got angry and remained silent until we alighted the bus and while waiting for his Bus 147.

Bus 147 arrived and while he was about to board the bus, he gave me the usual light peck on my head. I refused to bid him goodbye and walked off nonchalantly. I was disheartened and to be frank, saddened by the current situation. The notion of "Is he the one for me or......?" kept ringing in my head with every step home.. : /
