July 8, 2010 - We both had to work and on top of that there's Fifa World Cup that is more important to Dennis than his birthday. ;) I first had an "evil plan" for a birthday gift for my husband that would TOTALLY BENEFIT ME, MYSELF AND I. I have been eyeing on that Ukulele I found in Yamaha Store Bukit Tinggi Jusco. And I figured that since I wanted it really bad and its a bit pricey... I might as well kill 2 birds in one stone. Buy the ukulele, wrap it and put a red bow with a card that says "To my Dearest D... Happy Birthday. I love you!" I was seriously contemplating on it (for 2 weeks). I felt guilty but chuckling at the same time.. I thought it would be a good joke and its to my advantage in the end. I can only imagine Dennis so excited to receive the gift and be completely dumbfounded, if not, be very DISAPPOINTED to find an ukulele since he doesn't have any trace of musical inclination in him. He would probably say, "Is this for you, hun?" (I do have great hopes that in our life hereafter, we can sing duet in perfect harmony. And who knows, he might be able to play the ukulele there too ;)
Anyways, I repented. How could I be so selfish on my husband's birthday? That's so wrong! So I abandoned the plan. What happened next is a "Fastfood Birthday Celebration." July 7, 2010 (at night) - we ordered Pizza Hut and Honey Covered Chicken BBQ... since he is going to wake up at 2:30am (July 8, 2010) to watch socceer - Germany vs. Spain, he will have something to eat. And since I have class the following day, I had to sleep early. So, I sang "Happy Birthday" and ate the first 2 slices... and off to bed. July 8, 2010 At night... after work, we hang out and watched TV and dialled 1-300-13-1300 (McDonalds' Hotline). hehehe! Contrary to our goal not to have fastfood for this month, we made Dennis' birthday an excemption to the rule. So we made the most out of it and stuffed ourselves with fastfood. We watched the Season Finale of Glee - "Journey Episode" and we had fun :)
Oh, and I did buy him a gift. And its' definitely something that has nothing to do with ME, MYSELF, AND I. After being married for almost 2 years I still struggle with the concept of "IT'S NOT JUST ME NOW - IT'S US" - I have to say that it's so much better than "me being the center of the universe." Room to grow....
