"Hon, I have planned our date..."

I love Malaysia for so many different reasons. One of which is the holiday. There's always a public holiday every month and I always see families getting together to celebrate. Anyways, this coming Friday, May 28, 2010, is Wesak Day - an official public holiday - where Buddhist commemorates the life of Buddha (deity).

I haven't really thought of any activities for Wesak day for our family since Mom Annie and Dad James will be busy moving their stuff out at Sepang house. So, I gave Dennis the opportunity to show his prowess in planning our holiday. This morning, I received a text message from him, "Hello Hon, I have planned our date on Friday already. Ready to rock and roll!" In my mind, I was carried away with my wild imaginings of jungle trekking, boating to see the fireflies, roadtrip, etc. "Could this be Dennis?" I thought. Is he actually taking me to a really exciting date? That's what "rock and roll" means right? Exciting?! I remember literally dragging Dennis to a mountain climbing activity and he got sick for 3 days, and then to rainforest adventure that made him think of his accounting work and how easier life would be just sitting in front of his computer, or take him snorkeling for a normal day in Hawaii and watch him drown in a 3-feet-deep water. And then I thought to myself, he finally learned how to plan an exciting date that I will definitely enjoy.

When I asked with much enthusiasm what he has in mind, he replied "we watch movie, nice dining, and window shopping". And because I love him, I texted him back with these words, "Sounds awesome!" He was really excited to tell me what he came up with. I am so proud of him. Next time, I'll plan it. It's my fault, I haven't really showed him substantial example of "ready-to-rock-n-roll-holiday-activities". After all, the best dates ever are the ones that we are together. To my dearest D., where are we eating?! ;)
