One Year With Her - Gatsby's Take


Recently, we celebrated our first anniversary. dah setahun rupanya, sekejap je masa berlalu. I've been joking with my family that I have a girlfriend and guess what's their reactions?

"Abang?? ada girlfriend?? tak percaya lah"

"Siapalah yang malang sangat tu bang... Kesianlah dekat dia"

"Macam mana lah dia boleh nak dengan abang... apa lah dia nampak dekat abang"

Like it or not, I have to swallow it whole. But deep in my heart, I'm starting to question my worth. Slowly, I'm consumed with my negativity, that I'm starting to agree with them. 

Then, came Daisy. She's always here with me, supporting me during my ups and downs. It never came to me that I need this amount of support from her. (Note that I've been single for a long time before I met Daisy). 

So here's my take on our relationship so far:

1. Reassurance. It's very magical. It can carve smiles on a sobbing face. It can revive your relationship. It is sacred therefore you must do it with full content.

2. Compromise. You must put your ego aside and discuss with your significant other. Draw the line together, and never wander beyond that. Don't even think of it. 

3. Collaborate. You being in a relationship with her means you are a team. Create a project and do it together. Apa yang penting? kerjasama. This collaborative project will further strengthen your ties. Only death do us apart. You need to have that Ride or Die mentality with your partner. 

Warning: These project can make or break your relationship. Be mature, and don't act on your own. Remember, you're in the same team!

If your relationship goes well, time will really fly. pejam celik pejam celik eh dah setahun. After these one beautiful year with Daisy, I got to admit that the day I met her, it was a turning point in my life. We can still learn from each other, and compromise where it is due.

Love,
Gatsby

1st Anniversary Date @ Murni Discovery, Seksyen 7, Shah Alam

Hey there! It's Daisy here, writing her first food review. For our first anniversary, Gatsby and I chose to dine at Murni Discovery located at Seksyen 7, Shah Alam. From the menu, it seems like this is a Western fusion restaurant with some local twist. Gatsby and I arrived at the restaurant at around 5pm. The restaurant has a cool ambience, as it is somewhat an open air place. The setting of the place is also just nice, with warm yellow lights and a few decorations that are not overwhelming to the eyes.  The waitress was quick to take our orders. I ordered Spaghetti Carbonara with Chicken Chop while Gatsby went with Nasi Goreng Lamb Chop. For beverages, we ordered lime juice and plain water. It did not take that long for the food and drinks to arrive and I was excited to dig in as my tummy were already growling. Here is what our food looks like! Yummy! My spaghetti carbonara was delicious! I really liked the creamy carbonara sauce and there were generous amount ...

Life Updates

From  weheartit.com Hi there, it's Daisy here. It has been over a month since we updated this blog. Life has been crazy and we just couldn't find the time to write. We apologise for that. In late February, Gatsby and I started new semester. Both of us now study in the same campus so we get to see each other on a daily basis. I have started living in my rented apartment now and Gatsby would often take me out on a date. We spent so much time together every week until....... The recent pandemic outbreak happened. The government announced a movement control order which is predicted to end on April 14th. It was a massive chaos. Students were told to leave the campus and all lectures and classes will be done online. Of course, everyone including me wanted to go home. I bought a flight ticket from AirAsia to return to my hometown only to find out that my flight was cancelled just hours prior to my departure time. I had a mental breakdown thinking that I wouldn't b...
