Dilemma...

What do you do when you have to choose? On one hand, you have a fun day of sun, sand and sea. A surprise birthday party at a beach resort surrounded by family and friends, BBQ, drinks, games and laughter. On the other hand, your darling is coming home after a long trip and he was really looking forward to see you waiting for him at the airport. He can't wait to give you a big hug and kiss at the airport when you meet him.



Let's weight the options shall we? If I choose to go to the party, I would risk hurting my darling's feelings. I know that if the tables were turned, he would choose me over fun with his friends, no hesitation at all. On the other hand, I would be enjoying my precious saturday at a great party.



If I decide to go pick up my darling, I would have to spend my beautiful saturday afternoon coop up at home facing the four walls, waiting for the evening to come. I would still be able to go to the party, but by the time we get to Sentosa, it would be around 8pm. Everybody would have eaten, party's almost over. But of course, the love of my life would be delighted, and I'm happy when he's happy.




If I decide to do both, I would go berserk running around the country and not doing much at all.



So I made a painful decision. I picked up my mobile and told my sis and friends that I won't be joining them at the party until later tonight. I spent the rest of the day mopping around at home, sulking away. I SO wanted to go to the party! But I guess I've pass the point of no return. Dear dear would be expecting me at the airport, I've told my friends that I'm not going to the party that early, so, no ride to Sentosa.




Oh well, no point mopping around anymore. There will always be another party to go, but my darling's feelings are priceless, and I guess Sentosa will not be disappearing anytime soon. I can always go there with my dear next weekend. So now it's time for me to wash up and head to the airport, to meet my choice. And I can't wait to see him!
