Tears of Happiness

it was so rare to make a guy cry, regardless whether it was out of sadness or happiness... my guy, so to speak... well, i have had my share in making that happen, both ways... tears of sadness was awful... not only to the other party, it ached my heart as much i tore his apart... not something i was proud of though...

couple of days ago, i made it happen again... this time around, i was very proud to say it was tears of happiness... not mentioning that it was tough to make him genuinely smile, it was harder still to make him feel touched...

my main role at work is to make events happen... to organize events and activities for the staff... from normal boring talks to road shows to closed door sales... practically anything under the sun (provided with management approvals) that benefits the staff...

so, end of last month, i brought in maxis for a road show... great customized packages just for the staff... business talk plans with monthly rebates and added talk time... and best of all, those who sign up for the 3gb data plan actually has the privileges for unlimited data... 3g connectivity up to 3gb and exceeding bandwidth are throttled down without additional charges... it was hard for me to say no to that...

1. he needed a new phone... he kinda smashed his old nokia "not so" smart phone into 4 pieces in our last huge argument earlier... giving him the impression that he was not getting any new phone any time soon, he made himself comfortable with an old nokia 3100, aka the "fax machine"...
2. the price for the phone he wanted so badly was so much cheaper than the market price... all i needed was to sign up for a 24 month contract... how bad could it be??? 24 months for a device that i want (ok, more like he wants)... and unlimited data plan for something that we needed...

in exactly two weeks, our new plan was signed up... that was just last week... and the phone delivered to my office... now, that's one expensive not-that-surprising surprise awaiting him when he got home...

a day after the delivery of the new phone, i had another closed door sales for mother's day... there was luxonu for luxury handbags, rhapsody for branded watches, a wish garden for floral services, ravissante for beauty & spa and berjaya university college for cakes and pastries...

take away the rest of the vendors and focusing on watches... the first hour of the sales, i saw rhapsody displaying watches from d&g, ted baker and moschino... although there was a discount of up to 50%, these are brands that i'm couldnt afford out of the blue... as i was checking in on the event after lunch, i saw more watches were displayed... they took out the fcuk ranges then... my eyes immediately caught on a huge watch that i instantaneously knew will be a perfect fit for him... as i browsing through the ranges, i saw another one that i love so much...

temptations gave in... i called him up... see if he could buy it for me... not that i couldnt afford it myself, but i thought of surprising him with one too... reason: i couldnt afford both... although at 40%, both would cost me more than 500 bucks... i could only afford one... and i really wanted to surprise him with the huge watch... do the math... if i buy a watch for myself, i wont be able to get him one... and vice versa...

lo and behold... he told me he'd buy me a watch... my heart was singing away... in his mind, i was only buying ONE watch... in reality, i swiped my visa card for TWO watches... i knew he was eyeing a watch for some time... the padini watch i gave him for his birthday this year, was kinda spoilt... the glass cracked...

so anyway... just before he reached home after work that night, i left the box containing his new watch on the dining table... with the dining lights on (which is something i dont do... i always prefer to conserve energy... dont waste what i dont use...) and a note... then, i hid myself at the staircase, out of his sight... yup, to spy on him... as he was opening the box, what i saw made my heart skipped a beat... he started smiling, then grinned... and i could see he was trying so hard to control his emotions... and then, the tears of joy... ahhhh, priceless moment...

my new fcuk watch

his latest surprise from fcuk

most may ask why would i get something so expensive for him out of the blue??? without any reasons??? well, why would i need any reason to make him happy??? =)
