Because of a silly ulcer that is hurts so badly that it affects my speech and mood, I have been quiet these days. Even a slightest smile would cause my ulcer to stretch and cause me pain. So you imagine how it is like to be around me, all quiet, edgy, irritable and definitely not smiley.
In an attempt to 'make grace happy', dear bought me a chocolate ice cream. Even if it wasn't my favorite ice cream, he knew that it would make my eyes twinkle with delight!
After a lovely cold saccharine ice cream, we decided to walk around Great World City to look for a jacket that I have recently been wanting. Well, girls.. they never have enough of everything and they have plenty of a particular thing. That works for me too! I have many jackets, including an Adidas one that dear bought on my birthday 2 or 3 years ago (I can't remember hehe), a bike wanna-be jacket I bought during a great SALE at G2000 that has this leather look but soft and spongey inside, and the most recent denim jacket that has this blazer look.
Not to churn up excuses to get another jacket, but honestly, the bike wanna-be jacket is bulky and quite an unwise choice to wear it in au' humid and hot Singapore. As for my denim jacket, it doesn't cover enough chest area to keep warm, and it is on the heavy side.
So as we were walking, we shopped at Zara, then Esprit when suddenly, this rustic dark blue jacket caught my attention!
Without much hesitation, I tried it on and oh boy, how comfortable and light it is inside! You totally feel the fuzzy warmth yet the material isn't too thick to make you perspire. Best of all, it looks really slim and body hugging when zipped fully! Totally my style and taste!
However, the price tag was a major turn off and it totally made my mood and excitement hit rock bottom. If it was beneath a 100 bucks, I would have considered. But, it was $129.90.. way too pricey. Just as I put the jacket back on the rack, dear spluttered "How about I get this for you?.. Take it as our anniversary and an early Christmas present?" I was stunned, shocked, dumbfounded but I refused.
However, he insisted and I accepted the very generous gesture. So here is us, waiting for the sales man to give us a new piece.
Here's me in the new jacket - Body hugging, pockets, comfortable, long, full length zip, rustic jeans color! Looks like he really succeeded in his attempt to 'make grace happy', and I would even say, 'make grace ecstatic'!
Strange, I felt warm in the jacket. Perhaps it wasn't from the insulation of the jacket, but the fuzzy wuzzy feeling of love from a special someone.
