Why you should never plan surprises

As the last few weeks have been kinda busy and all, esp with the CNY preparation...
V-day came and went off just as quickly.. (I was stuck in traffic for over an hour, but at least it was with someone I wanted to spend that time with..)
Therefore, today, I wanted to plan a little surprise for this particular fine lady who possess the ability to make my day by her mere presence.
I wanted to cheer her up, and help her ring in the festive mood since she's has been working over-time for the longest of time..
So there I was happily planning and making the arrangements.
She asked "What's the plan", and I gave her a sketchy one to ease her appetite.. She still seemed interested..
I even check with her till the very last detail, "when shall we meet.."
But alas, maybe it was my persistence, in the end she simply sent as sms that wrote this heartbreaking words," you do your own thing, and...."
I tried to make her change her mind, but she decided that she wasn't going anywhere.

I'm still in shock.
But all the reservation and plans have been scraped. I mean she has her reasons, (which are still unknown to me)... and they could be very legit, and I'll feel like a fool if I allow this to become a storm in the a teacup..

Morale of the story, never plan for a surprise unless you expect one for yourself too.
