Secret Love Nest 2018

Post Christmas

Christmas is over. The Wang party was a huge success. It's a night of merry making in glamorous clothes, sparkling jewelries, bubbly champagne and frou frou food that I will admit didn't work for me. Half of that party, I feel like a bird eating crumbs and the more I ate, the more hungry I felt.

The party of the rich and elite doesn't promote food for someone with a big appetite like me.

But it was a success. There was even an article that will be publish in a magazine about the party. I will admit to getting a bit tipsy and I was sent to bed early but I did manage to mingle and greet almost every important guests of Mama and Baba.

There was an interesting part where the Wangs gave gifts to selected guests on their party. Someone received a new set of golf clubs, a yacht cruise, two crates of expensive vintage wine, a free all expense paid trip abroad and the last one, this blew my mind, a gold and diamond watch.

I pulled Qing's sleeve and whispered to him that I want that watch but my lover gave me a look that said he finds me strange.

Qing: (baffled) Why would you want that?

Me: (whispering) It's a gold watch!

Qing: And so?

Me: It's gold.

Does he need more explanation why I want that watch other than that?

It's gold and diamonds. They are sparkly and shiny.

Qing: And so? What are you, a leprechaun? Why are you obssessed in gold?

Me: (amazed) Why are you putting me in the same category as a leprechaun? Are you taking a jab at my height again?

Qing groaned like I tire him out.

Qing: (putting an arm around my shoulder) Forget about that watch. I will buy you one.

Me: (frustrated) No! I don't want you to buy a gold watch! I want that watch.

Qing: (scowling) Feng Jian Yu.

Me: (cajoling tone) Qing...

Qing: Stop. It's for the guests. Or one lucky guest.

I pouted at him while Mama picked a name from a clear bowl and announced the name of the person who will receive the gold and diamond watch. It was sparkling.

I love sparkly things.

Maybe Qing is right, I am part leprechaun. I just love shiny sparkly things.

After the gift giving, the party commenced and like I said, it was a huge success.

But I didn't get to see how it ended because the alcohol I consumed bite back and made me tipsy. I felt dizzy and I decided to close the night by sleeping earlier than everyone.

The next day, we had a pleasant late lunch. The meal is light as we indulged with rich savory food and drinks last night. The warm soup gave my stomach the relief it was looking for.

We exchanged gifts after lunch and Mama volunteered to pack all the gifts Qing and I received for me.

Mama: You should rest, you have a flight tomorrow morning. Say hello to your parents for me, Dayu ah. And to your grandmother too.
