A Bear in a Cup!

This Wednesday, Rebecca & I went for dinner at the Changi Airport Swensons to celebrate our 58th month together. Time really flies… & suddenly it’s soon to be 5 years of being together in a relationship.

I wanted to write Rebecca a postcard, but the postcards that were sold at the provision shop on the ground floor of my office building were lousy! The photo on the front of the postcard was rather blur & neither exciting nor beautiful. So in the end, I decided not to get a postcard coz I didn’t want to just do something for her, just for the sake of doing something… & especially not when the 80c postcards were so blurry & unattractive.

Coming from the view / preference for a guy who loves to take photographs of beautiful scenery… these photographs were terribly taken. I wonder why they were being sold… the company should hire me as a freelance photographer & I will show them what is called quality photographs! Hmm…

The best surprise of the day, or should I say, the entire week, is the surprise gift from Rebecca! She bought me this 500ml thermos travel mug which utterly surprised coz I had been wanting to buy one for myself to drink at the office, but I haven’t seen one that I liked & neither do I have the mood or time or energy to go hunting for one. In fact, the surprise came so suddenly that I didn’t have time to react, except to smile & thank her a few times!

And the next best part… I was stunned when I opened the travel mug & saw a little grey bear soft toy hiding inside! Wow… that made my day (or evening), coz it melted my heart to receive such a surprise gift… & another surprise within a surprise! I was just smiling & smiling. Even the food tasted less good, compared to the sweet surprise that I had just received! =)

Now this little grey bear is sitting right next to the Fengshan calendar which Rebecca had previously given me. In a way, these are the little things which occasionally help to take my mind off work, even if it’s for just a minute or so, just to admire the little bear or gaze at the children’s drawings on the calendar.

Of course, I have been drinking from this thermos travel mug everyday since then… & it still reminds me of her, when I drink from it. Even one of my female colleague grinned when I told her about this… & she said that Rebecca is very thoughtful… in Mandarin, the words are called “Xi4 Xing1”. =)
