As I tapped out of the security gates at noon,
there was the boyfriend smiling at me from across the lobby of my office.

He was in office wear.

“你不是 on leave 吗？特地穿office wear来啊？所以今天security没有用怪怪的眼神看你了啦？"

Sheepishly, he told me

“没有。。。拿不到因为今天有meeting"

His reply wasn't what I expected and I just stared at him in stunned silence.

"不要紧的啦。达cab很快的吗。”

"而且我舍不得pang seh你。”

For your info,
the boyfriend works all the way up in the mountains at Boon Lay,
while I slave away at Raffles Place

As he speared his fingers through mine
and led me towards the restaurant he picked out for lunch,
I felt the familiar urge to cry.

The boyfriend's getting better and better at moving me.

Well, I guess it isn't really the things he does.
Clearly, he isn't the creative or romantic sort
who will shower me with surprises and beautiful words.
It's more of how he thoughtfully does the simple things,
how he places my happiness before his convenience.

Sometimes, it's the simplest things that say the most.
Because at the end of the day,
all a woman wants from a man is just that - for him to genuinely care.

只要他们真心的在乎我们，
那就是幸福了。

I'm not naive enough to believe that all this would last.
Then again, I'm also not jaded enough to not feel anything.

Just let me be a girl for awhile,
and indulge in a little willful joy,
however temporary it might be.
