Dear All,
I promised to update you, so here I am again. Well, the whole thing went wonderfully. I'd expected my guy to be really upset, but the good news is that, whilst he was indeed sad (still is) about his dad's death, he was also very happy to see me. We had a wonderful time!
1st of all, I'd been very nervous, because he took a transit flight to Taiwan, & on Fri, there was a very bad typhoon storm there. His flight was delayed for 2 hrs

I was frantic with worry, & was pacing up & down the airport (I tell you, I almost went crazy! Wouldn't wish it on anybody at all). Finally, there he was! It was almost worth the borderline insanity to see him there, smiling at me. We both ran towards the end of the barrier (well, he "ran-walked"

as fast as he could with his luggage) & were enveloped in the tightest bear hug we could give each other. My breath was squeezed out of me.
So we took a cab to his place, & when he turned on the lights, the 1st thing he saw was the plate of peanut butter cookies

MC, please note that they were a HUGE success! He made me promise that we'll make them again tonight since tomorrow's National Day! So after work, we're gonna buy ingredients in our very uncomfortable work clothes

We'll be competing on who can snatch the most cookies

Anyway, I'd managed to buy strawberry mini rolls also, which he liked, & he gave me a big kissy wissy when he saw that & the little presents I'd bought. His eyes reddened when he saw a tiny card next to every 1 of the little gifts (he's gonna kill me if he knows I've been telling people about his softie side hehehe).
You know what's surprising? Despite his grief, he actually found the time to buy me a pair of jeans! I'd been saying I was gonna get a pair of dark denim jeans, but never got round to doing it. So after seeing all his presents, he told me to close my eyes. Then he placed it in my hand, gave me a hug, & told me something like (I can't remember exactly lah, was so caught up in the moment!), "I knew you didn't call much as you didn't want to disturb my family as we were in grief. But I also knew you'd miss me very much. So I bought this to tell you thank you for being so sweet". Awwwwwwwwww

Well, we had a wonderful weekend, which I'll post later, because I think this message is getting too long
