Couple's Meme

You know...my boyfriend is so cute...

He secretly reads the blogs that I stalk whenever he misses me...

He discovered this couple's meme on pinkpau's blog and insisted that we did one together and post it on our blogs. So, after 3 days of pestering from him...here it goes...

tell us about the first time you met and your first impression of him/her:
There are two first times to this. Once, when we didn’t quite know each other – he had long hair, looked super thin, reminded me of some kinda mat rocker-cool dude-kinda person. And another time, after we got to know each other – 27^th January 07 we went watch Babel and had dinner – he was so different, with short hair, baby face, extremely shy (but trying so hard to hide it), nothing like how I remembered or expected him to be.

what’s a weird habit or quirk that s/he has?:
Hahaha…there is a few, but I sometimes wonder is it my quirk instead. Oh well, he has this thing about routine. Everything he does is so routine, from the amount of eggs he has for breakfast to the amount of shut eye he needs. At one point of time, I felt so secondary cause he keep wanting to do something routine instead of spending time with me.

what makes him/her happy?:
Me Me Me!! Hahaha…

what makes him/her sad?:
When I have to go away for work. Not being able to spend weekends together.

what makes him/her angry?:
Bad parenting. Lazy people. People loafing around. People who can’t work.

what excites him/her?
Directors like Clint Eastwood, Paul Haggis, Innaritu, M.Night Shyamalan. Movies like Shawshank Redemption, Crash, Love Actually. Oh ya…and Michael Jackson too.

tell us something funny about him/her:
He is funny in so many different ways. Hahaha. He does this thing over the phone sometimes when he calls me, he pretends to be some Cantonese speaking ah pek and starts shouting over the phone “HALO~ HALO~ Lei hai pin wai ah? LEI WAN PIN KOR AH? HALO?”

what’s s/he like at home?:
Very caring. Takes good care of me and is ever so patient. Super cute and very goofy too.

what’s s/he like at work/school?:
Apparently, when he was at school, he broke many girlie’s hearts. Then when in college and uni, he was extremely competitive in studies and assignments. He is a natural born workaholic. Works like a robot, non stop and chop chop chop. Extremely hard on himself when things don’t turn out well.

describe his/her room:
He doesn’t have much choice with the rooms he rents. But back home, his room is dark blue, quite cosy, with a metal kinda thing he uses for his wardrobe. Its kinda mysterious too….just like him…

what’s his/her best friend like?:
He has three guy friends he constantly hangs out with when back in KL. Fabian he know from college – he’s a real funny guy, very easy to talk to, they share the same passion for film. Jerry – his neighbour, sports buddy, super shy guy who can be quite quiet at times. Nelsen – also his neighbour and sports buddy, very friendly and talkative, always telling jokes, we studied together in college (that’s how I really met Nic). Then there are a few more…Vivien, Esther…I have yet to meet.

do you know who s/he hates the most?: Hmm…Hate? He thinks it’s a waste of energy to be angry at people, so I don’t think he’d go the extreme and hate somebody.

have you met his/her exes?:
One actually. And I met her before I even knew him.

do his/her parents like you?:
Yes. I think I’m getting along with his whole family fine. But just not being able to spend time with them probably cut off some of my brownie points.

what’s the first thing s/he would do or say if s/he fell down and scraped their knee:
I think it depends on who he is with. If with his friends, he’d probably frown and say, “Fuck!”. If with me, he’d probably have a loud exclamation and look at me with doggy eyes. Hahaha J

what would s/he do in an emergency situation with other people involved?:
He’ll panic, be scared and excited all at the same time. Then take a deep breath and start organizing who do what.

which shop would s/he spend the most time at in a shopping mall?:
Fragrance or timepiece shop.

what would s/he have for a typical breakfast?:
Three eggs, 2 slice peanut butter and bread, some muesli with milk and maybe a banana.

where would s/he want to go for dinner?:
The Soup Restaurant, Aston’s, TGIF, Sushi Tei!

what kind of movie would s/he choose at the cinema?:
Selective ones. Mostly those directed by his favourite directors.

describe his/her taste in music: very 80’s, some oldies, michael jackson, prodigy, oasis, chris daughtry, selective pop songs with lyrics he can relate to.

if s/he wasnt going out with you, who would s/he be going out with?:
He would still be single and waiting for me. Haha J

what item in his/her wardrobe would you like to burn:
His really old short denim pants with a red ink stain.

Drawing potraits, writing, badminton, words, sudoku, wrapping weird shaped presents, giving surprises, sweet talking…

what is s/he totally horrible at?:
Differentiating colours. Like totally…light yellow is white and torquise is green!

what’s something about him/her that is annoying/infuriating?:
He always mixes his used clothes with those he freshly clean! So confusing! And he puts stuff on my bed (like those filthy paperbags he left on the floor during dinner or in the MRT). But now he knows I don’t like that, so only sometimes, he purposely does it to annoy me. Hehe…

what’s something that you two fundamentally disagree on?:
I can’t really think of something prominent. But I think it’s the way my friends treat me and how I treat them that we constantly debate on. Besides that, I can’t really think of anything else. Cause we always seem to be able to persuade one another to agree on everything else.

what’s something that you two agree whole-heartedly on?:
Our family upbringing and what kinda future we want together.

is s/he possessive?: Yes. But very subtle.

why would s/he succeed in life?: Perserverance, intelligence, being hard working. Very very focused in life.

what is the coolest gift that s/he has ever given you?: The digital frame I wanted so badly and Aramsa Spa treatment to date!

what is s/he obsessed with?: Being healthy and looking good. Also, developing characters for his script writing.

what does s/he avoid at all costs?: Singing in public! I like karaoke so much but he won’t even give it a go….

what does s/he spend the most money on?: Eating out with me and everyday stuff which is of good quality (inclusive of his groceries).

describe his/her typical sunday: With me – sleep in till past 11am, dress to go out for lunch, window shop or spend time at home snuggling and just talking, have dinner (or not), send me home / go home / stayover ( or vice versa), sleep early for Monday’s work. Without me – wake up about 10am latest, have breakfast, surf internet, have lunch, play football manager or work on script, afternoon nap, watch tv, have dinner, rest early.

why would s/he be dangerous?: Very aggressive and commanding when he wants to be. Can kill you in his script.

tell us about a time s/he looked absolutely gorgeous:
Everytime when I wake up and the first thing I see is him. He looks absolutely stunning.

what’s something about him/her that would surprise all of his/her friends?:
He is all act tough on the outside and super softie on the inside.

what do you love most about him/her?: I love the way he cares for his family. I love the prayers he says at night incoperating people he knows are important to me. I love how selfless he can be when he is with me. I love the warmth he fills my heart with everyday. I love the way his eyes tries to tell something when he looks at me. I love most when he smiles at me and tell me he loves me too.

the biggest lesson you have learnt from loving your partner:
Confidence helps you battle insecurities. Love helps you build confidence.
