10.10 o'clock

Good morning, Little Diary..
Today is Good Friday so I don't go to work today. I got up from my bed exactly at 10.10am, isnt it good time? I noticed that people always set the watch/clock at 10.10 o'clock on any watch advertisements because it looks like the watches are smiling at us (with the short needle pointing at number 10 and long needle pointing at number 2), aren't they? I also feel happy when I happen to see the time exactly at 10.10 o'clock!

Talking about 10.10 o'clock, suddenly I remember something. About 2-3 years ago, I bought couple watches for me and for my bf on his bday.. I know it's his bday but I gave present to myself too! Hihihi.. I set the time on both watches exactly the same, up till the seconds, because I want both of us to have same timing, same thinking, same life direction, same vision, same mission.. am I too much? We can have same timing if we really set our watches exactly the same timing (so either of us won't have excuse to come late for our dates), but same mission? Hmm.. how is it related to the watch? I guess I put too much hope on my watch ^_^ Anyway, the main topic is not that one. The best part is... I gave the watches exactly at 10.10pm because I wanted him and me looking at our watches when they were at their 'smiling pose'. Is it too childish? I also guess so! Well, that was 2-3 years back. I have grown up and matured a lot for the last few years.

Ok, continue my story.. I gave him the watch at 10.10pm but.. but.. but.. he was too shocked and too happy and he didn't open the box on the spot. He just looked at the box, smiled, touched the box here and there and smiled again but still didn't open the box! Few minutes passed by.. he lost the best moment! Arghh.. Now I understand him, when he's too happy receiving something, he wants to enjoy that feeling as long as he can.. he's also a bit childish, rite? Well, at least we are matched to each other hahaha.. Then, i shouted at him to speed up enjoying that 'happy moment' and quickly open the box. Time on our watches showed at 10.15pm! Oh no! The 'smiling pose' was a bit 'sengek', it's ok as long as they were still smiling.. but.. but.. but.. I realised that the time on both watches were not exactly the same anymore at that time! His watch runs faster than mine (or mine runs slower than his?), there was few seconds difference at that time, now there is few minutes difference. What does it mean? I'm not trying to be superstitious again.. but after few years dating him, I understand that his pace of life is indeed faster than mine.. in other words, my pace is too slow for him?

What can we do? We always re-adjusted the time on our watches initially.. now we always forget to do it. The more important lesson isn't about adjusting time on our watches, but adjusting the pace in our lives. We should and we must.. if we want to walk together at the same pace, complement each other.. So, who will walk faster? Who will walk slower? It all depends on the needs, situations, and conditions both from internal and external..

I think I have really grown older.. I'm talking like 'guru budi pekerti' now.. See! I told you that I've matured a lot in the last few years, rite? Now you believe me?? ^_^

Cheers
