Surprise me?

You know, all these years I've quipped that derod is not one who can execute surprises, if and when he gets down to attempting at one. Yesterday we celebrated our anniversary, the one when we got attached. And last week, I was casually asking him when his term break for his NTU studies would be. He said he didnt know. So when bro-in-law lent us the car for Monday and Tuesday, I was still going on about how convenient it would be for him to drive home after school, and he can get home earlier, it'll be so much better, yadah yadah. So our friend agreed to everything I said.

It wasnt till the horrendous jam we got into yesterday morning along the expressway that I discovered this was the week of his term break! His palm was beeping non-stop, reminding him of a class he's already late for. So he took it out and asked me to clear the reminder. The page automatically reverted to his calendar for the day after I did so, and i saw "NTU term break" on the top! So confused! When I asked him, he said, "sigh... want to surprise you also cannot."

So I was stuck in between being elated (cos he wanted to take me out to celebrate the anniversary) and duhified (to think I've been going on and on and he's just playing along). But it still doesnt change the fact he failed at another attempt to surprise hehehheehe
