Patience my dear..

Today marks the third day the Mr is away.
He’s been on reservist since last week, but since Sunday night, he hasn’t been home due to some live exercise.

All I can say is, MINDEF, GIVE MY BOYFRIEND BACK TO ME!!!
*starts sobbing hysterically*

I suppose I have been rather dependent on him for company.
We make it a point to have dinner together everyday before work. Either I cook or we eat out.
We get groceries together.
I tag along to jam sessions and he tags along when I go shopping for shoes, makeup and do my hair.
He gives opinions on clothes I wear daily so that I have shoes to match, and I give opinions when he does his recordings.

So when he’s away, unable to even send me an SMS, I feel…. lost.
I can’t even sleep in peace, knowing he’s not safe at home or at work.
I don’t even have the appetite to eat, since I have no companion.
Friends don’t quite have the same effect, you know?

Anyway, he called me today.
And told me that he missed me very badly.

“Let’s get married by June, we’ll register in December.”

LOL. I don’t know how many times he has proposed to me this year. And each time, he sets a date nearer to us. And his reason? He wants to wake up to me everyday and be the last thing he sees before he sleeps.

Maybe he’s just afraid of sleeping alone. Hehe.

And before he hung up, he told me that he’d be back by Saturday evening. But that would be after I’ve left for work. He works on Sunday, which means that I’d probably only see him on Monday. I couldn’t help it that my voice cracked over the phone, telling him that I missed him dearly.

I’m such a wimp, I know.

And it took the Singapore Government to make me realize that.

He probably doesn’t know how much I miss him because right after he proposed to me, he told me about how he learnt to make coffee in a mess tin over some campfire and how they had catered bee hoon for breakfast. In the middle of some exercise in Seletar.

Men are so easily distracted.
And Singaporean soldiers are very pampered.

Sigh.
