FA Cup Final

Watched the FA Cup final with a bunch of Pool fans last nite.
Well, yes, I can feel the ectasy and appreciate Gerrard's football genius.
What a goal it was.

But alas, heartbreak for West Ham, who really showed how much they wanted it.
The best wins, so... life is brutal.
But I felt Liverpool was kinda lacklustre for almost half the match,
So I really did feel West Ham's grief.

I told Terence i felt sorry for West Ham...
And the idiot went
"Oh, never mind, it's a good experience for them."
What an idiot really.

Had dinner with Terence's entire family yesterday.
Nice affair at this new UE Square seafood restaurant.
His brother brought along the new ang moh girlfren from Poland.
Sweet young thing.
Doesn't look a day above 20.
Pretty but doesn't speak a word to us.
They were all lovey-dovey in front of the parents and us.
Feeding each other, holding hands non-stop etc.
Yes, it was all rather nauseating, sweet as it was.
She just arrived in SG like 2 days ago,
And will be leaving Tuesday, so i can feel the gushes of love there.

But looking at them so caught up in the romance and affections of their new love,
I was quite envious.
I mean, me and terence can hardly be called old birds at the game.
We've been together just 14 months.
But we've lost some of that spontaneity and wild blinding passion.
We didn't share and feed each other ice cream like they did.
We didn't hold hands thru out the dinner and gaze longingly into each other's eyes, oblivious to the world.
Its stupid, but i jus wanted to see what he'd say.
So i did the next stupid thing. I told him how i felt.

And surprise surprise, he didn't say i was silly or stupid or foolish or anyth like dat.
He asked how I wanted him to be more romantic and loving.
Cos he said he is not a romantic person by nature, and he needs to learn these things if it matters so much to me.
What a pleasant surprise.
A reaction I didn't expect at all.
And i was pleased as punch.

And he also said that we have a lot of our own tender loving moments too.
And when he listed them out, with some very very recent ones,
I ended up feeling foolish.
How could i forget so fast?

And what a lovely husband I have.
S0,
If it makes him happy that Liverpool broke West Ham hearts all around,
So be it.
