His V Surprise- Keys to a successful relationship

He gave his 'V' to me to this year - Valentine's Day, I mean.

Valentine's Day is often referred to as St. Valentine's Day; a day to tell people that you love them. On this day, millions from across the world present their loved ones with candy, flowers, chocolates and other lovely gifts. This year, I joined the crowd and presented Mr Jackie Goh with a valentine's day surprise too.

I thought I should credit him big time with something exclusive for all the things-his personal time, commitment, patience, love, support, encouragement, understanding & effort in which he had given to me- of all women. Days before he was already guessing what I had prepared for him nevertheless, my lips were tightly sealed until...

A relationship has to be built up- it does not fall from the sky. Many a times, people give up as they claim that they are too tired to hold on. Even I myself, gave up several times but thank god he gripped on to the faith that we will brave through all difficulties.

Here are some tips maintaining and strive towards better relationships:

~Trust~

Trust your partner.
Turn left, go straight. DD, turn right at the next traffic light.

"I've never been to that part of Singapore, but I'm going to try." I told him just that before we set off to our destination and he gave me a worried expression. Holding the Singapore Directory in my hands, I flashed it at him, smiled and assured him that I will get both of us there.

Here we are, at Spa Vintage along Eng Kong Terrace. Best of all, we hadn't lost our way, and we reached our destination even before our appointment time!

~Divide the work fairly~

While he signed in with his particulars, I busied myself by taking photographs of the interior and of him for memorance. Back at home, I showered & dry my dog while he cleans the cages of the hammies. We take turns to make the bed and buy meals. Hmmm... come to think of it, actually he does more work than I do while I'm busy doing my recordings, preparing for tuition and school. *ops* Of course, I will help pay the bills & clean his room whenever I have the time to.

And the interior really looks vintage enough.

~ Spend time together~

It doesn't matter if it's only a short 2-hour spa massage session. We both enjoyed the session to the max! Life in Singapore is so hectic we need to take some time off for a break and relaxation.

Spending quality time together is essential in relationships. Not only will this improve communication between each other, it also close up the confidentiality gap between the two making it to sustain the relationship to greater heights.

In this 2 hours, we did:

A 30-minute full sensual body scrub with the scent of rose & lavender.
A 30-minute lavender milk hydro bath.
A 60-minute vintage Javanese Massage with rose & lavender sensual massage oil.

The jacuzzi changes colours!
From red to yellow to green to blue, then purple...

~Build up common interests~

While soaking our worn-out bodies in the jacuzzi, we discussed about how & when to bring Bubble for his first dog spa session! We'll never get bored talking about Bubble(our poodle)- his first day home, the tricks he can perform, the mischiefs he'll do and the troubles he'll get into.

The details in the couple suite adds on so much more delights to our stay.

Alright, we are getting ready for our massage- wohoo!

The escape from urbanization is definitely what we need for our hectic lives in Singapore.

Take a good rest to walk a longer distance.

The rest we took was for us... to travel to our next destination- dinner!
And boy, was I famished!

As usual, he didn't know where I was taking him to until we reached.

Dear Jackie Goh,
thank you for showing so much love and patience towards this spoilt & pampered girl.

No one is perfect.

I know this yet I continuously demand for your perfectness to live up to my expectations as my boyfriend. The time I can spend with you is so pathetically little but you have never once complained. I've hurt you with so many hurtful truths-you know what they are-however your understanding and patience touched my heart.

Thank You for being here with and for me.
As much for being a mu tou at times, I am really grateful and happy to have known and be with you.

Happy Valentine's Day.

~Learn~

To be genuine in relationships
To compromise and compliment each other
To appreciate what your other half has done for you

~~~~
珍惜眼前人,
莫等他离去,
回忆成过去,
此伤莫再提。

非是深爱人,
爱他深爱心,
从前泪恨流,
今天笑依旧。

呵护与关爱,
烦恼抛开怀,
幸福没得嫌,
知足长乐点!
