.twinkling lights.

I love surprises.
I love sweet little things in life.

And I had a brilliant romantic night yesterday.

My best friend and I had this thing planned since Wednesday. He was being a bit frisky and overly excited but I assumed he was just in love. The plan? Watch fireflies! We have little clue of what to expect but we wanted to see the little bugs so much we just head on with our plan. Plus, one was bored and another was upset. We need something to excite ourselves.

We left Subang at about 5ish and arrived in Kuala Selangor just in time to watch sunset. By 7.30pm we were on a fantastic boat ride to see thousands of flashing fireflies covering the trees along the banks. There were so many of them it looked almost like sparkling Christmas tree! We cruised along quietly, marveling at the masses of twinkling lights. There were one time when the boat stopped very very near to the mangrove tree that the fireflies were just beneath our eyes. One of them flew right above my boyfriend’s head, like Thumbellina, sprinkling its magic dust of luck. Told him he'll have 10 days of good fortune.

Its really dreamy, this place. Almost magical.

We enjoyed a great dinner at a floating restaurant called River View afterwards. The meals were absolutely delicious and cheap! Everyone had three to four serving. We can always go back just for the chicken and squid :P

We headed back with a happy stomach, sleepy eyes and romance inside our heart. I was somewhat saddened to leave. Twas such an amazing night. To be honest, I have never imagine to enjoy such beauty with someone who is very dear to me. I wanted to say love but decided not too. Love is too pricey a word for me to say right now.

I wish that night could never end. Cheesy? But its the truth.

I'm scared at times. Happiness is like a flickr of light. Beautiful to enjoy while it last, but it can be gone in a blink of an eye.

I know i'm gonna miss that place, i'm gonna miss the fireflies and the feeling i feel that night.
