I can't sleep!

Well, I'm supposed to be up by 8 and head to yet another work morning. But because of the enormous bliss I'm feeling now, I'm insomniac. Darling, I'm not complaining. Just merely saying so. :)

Well, I've just read Holly Jean's post on to who should pay the bill. It got me thinking. Ray and I aren't exactly employed and earning. So I guess we take turns? Although it seems to me that he's paying most of the time. I guess it's probably me whining a little too much about being broke all the time. Haha. Opps.

In the beginning, he paid. In fact I actually hassled him for a book on our very first date! Hahaha. My bad. He continued to pay for drinks at Timbre. I suppose it's just a social norm that we have all been accustomed to. When the waiting staff brings the bill, it's always or more often directed to the guy. Seems interestingly so. Again brings up the question on who to pay.

I know Marilyn and TJ splits the bill if they can. Or rather, his money is hers but I'm not exactly sure if hers is his. Hahaha. I do remember paying the bill on some dates with Ray. And actually to me, I think it's no big deal. Ok. That was when I was still interning at Frost & Sullivan. These days, I guess I try to chip in whenever I can. :S Darling, I'm sorry. Should have treated dinner. Hehehe.

Hmmm... Perhaps it's just me. Actually I think that splitting the bill on the first date seems to me that I'm being respected to be on par with my date. After all, it is the first date. And how much have you got to know this person. To me, it would be more polite if the date went dutch with me.

But now, having Ray in my life, to me, whoever pays doesn't matter. But Darling, not all the time I can pay hor. I'm as broke as you are! Hehehe.
