Souled Out Dinner & My 1st Anniversary Weekend

Ok, I can't sleep. I fell asleep for close to 2 hours just now and had an absolutely horrible nightmare. Now, I can't sleep >:(

So, I've decided to blog about the dinner at Souled Out last week and also my 1st anniversary, yessss, 1st ANNIVERSARY with Yaacob!! :D Can you believe it? We're 1 year old already. It's like "Wow" :D Ok, I can't seem to keep my dumb smile off my face [you know, the really dumb kinda half smile with dreamy, unfocused eyes when you're thinking of really happy mushy lovey dovey stuff. The one that will draw looks of recoil and "Eeeyerr, what's wrong with her? Why is she having a dumb smile plastered on her face?" statements from passers-by]... Hehehehe... And I can't help wanting to gigggle like a schoolgirl... I'm happy... I really am... Coz, I really appreciate having Yaacob in my life... He has supported me, guided me, taught me, loved me, cared so much for me and made me learn so much more in life for the past year... I hope I'll continue to grow into a more mature, wiser and better person with him beside me for a long long long long long time... Ok, I shall stop raving about him now in case your bulu roma stand so much you cannot take it :P Hehehehehee...

Anyways, met up with the whole gang for dinner at Souled Out last week. As usual, everyone was on Malaysian time. We were supposed to meet at 7.30pm. Yaacob and I got there at 8.30pm and only 3 people were there [Vijen, J-Hun and White Jessie]. Goodness! And there was supposed to be like, 11 of us. Suilin was there with her colleagues at another table.

Eventually, everyone started turning up. Dinner started late. I was famished. After eating, we moved to the sofa area to hang out and had wine. Went off early, at about 11.30pm coz both Yaacob and I were dead tired and had headached to nurse... Sigh...

The most eventful day at the start of 2008, other than New Year's day, was Yaacob and my 1st anniversary. On 12th of January 2008, we started our day with me cooking for him. I was quite disappointed coz the pasta that I made didn't turn out the way it always did. Coz maybe the meat was diffeent and I was not in my usual element. Sigh... :(

After that, Yaacob went to play futsal with the guys while I went shoe-shopping with Suilin [I was just accompanying her!! I didn't buy anything!!]. Then, in the evening, we celebrated the 1st year of our relationship at Le Bouchon. This tiny cozy little french restaurant at Changka Bukit Bintang. We had a nice table at a corner where it was kinda like a private room. Really great! We had privacy. We spent almost 3 hours there, enjoying our meals and talking. The food was ok. I don't have french food often. Mostly italian, so I was not really familiar with the french way of eating and their food. But it was a good meal. We spent quality time with each other. Talked and talked about various topics :)

The restaurant's ambience was really nice:

Doesn't it look really cosy??

After our dinner, we went to Velvet to meet up with Pam, Lam, Jessie, etc and Pearson, Yaacob's friend who's visiting from Auckland. We will exchange pressies this weekend if we manage to find stuff to buy each other that each other likes. Heheheheee....

It's 1 year since I started going out with Yaacob. We had our ups and downs just like any other normal couple would, and we also had many many wonderful times together on holidays and just in kl. 12 January 2008.This day is really special to me. We went through quite a lot together for the past year. It's really an occasion deserving celebration. Coz I have learnt to treasure what I have and to want what I have. Be grateful for everything good this relationship brings to me and learn from the few glitches we faced to be stronger, to be more together. He is special to me. Coz with him around, it's like everything is possible. Everything feels safe, good, secured and warm. Everything seems reasonable. Everything seems alright. I don't feel lost anymore. Not for a long time. Thanks to him. I hope he will always be there to hold my hand whenever I wander off my path and lead me back to the right direction as he always does.

Happy Anniversary, honey!! I 'heart' you!!
