Malu!


As usual, when the credit card bill arrives, i'll be the first one to scan through the bill.

This morning, after i realised that the bill has been left unopened for 3 days (was too tied up lately), i decided to open it to double check.

As i go through, i saw this.

26 APR FAREASTFLORA.COM $80.24

My heart skipped a beat.

Hb bought me flowers for my birthday!!

You see, i've been telling hb upfront that i want a rose since 3 weeks ago, almost everytime when hb goes grocery shopping but he never buys it. I specifically asked for 1 rose, not more than that. Like any other girls, i love flowers! But i don't like the price that comes with it. With that kind of money, i could have gotten myself 2 good cook books *wink*.

However, i still like to receive them. Be it 1 or many. To get a win win situation (not spend so much and yet still get flower), i opted to receive only 1. Lol :P

So yeah, i was excited, happy, so over the moon, exhilarated and thrilled to bits upon seeing that albeit i said i only wanted 1 rose. But i was also disappointed because i got to find out earlier before the flowers arrive. You see, i love surprises!

After that, i decided to get in touch with hb about it, over sms.

Me : Lousy la u. Your surprise is no longer a surprise already.
Hb : What surprise?
Me : Flower lo
Hb : No la. Not getting flowers la. You cute. Ha ha ha
Me : Already saw the credit card bill ah

Hb called after that..

Hb : Hello
Me : Yes? So what time is delivery? We need to go out now.
Hb : Really lah, it wasn't for you. The date was around 3 weeks back right?
Me : Yeah but i know you ordered earlier.
Hb : Ha ha ha.. really really. Not for you.
Me : Okie lo. Not for me lo. Then who was it for? (still thinking hb trying to play pretend)
Hb : It was for C, the Esso engineer who was warded then. Remember?
Me : (WHAT? Oh no! Really wasn't for me. Hb isn't lying afterall! My heart stopped beating literally) Ohh.. hahahahahahahahhaah
Hb : You pig la you.. I'll pretend this whole thing never happen ok to save you from embarrassment. Hahahaha...

For a while, we were laughing hysterically over the phone then i pressed the red button. My eyes got hot and in less than 2 seconds, my vision got cloudy and blurred.

Honestly, i didn't know why. Not sure if it was because of embarrassment or disappointed.

After another 10 mins when i was already driving, i received sms from hb again.

Hb : You blushing furiously already?
Me : More like heart broken
Hb : He he he.. Your birthday this year not good la. Since thurs want to order, the earliest can send is 14. Today worst, 15 then can deliver
Me : Yeah
Hb : Because of mother's day ma

I stopped replying after that.

Because i got quite upset.

But on another hand, i was quite glad that hb didn't buy me flowers afterall. Now i can get 2 good cook books with the money saved or start another shopping spree online! :)

Oh well.. women.. sometimes we can't even understand ourselves yeah?
