BDAYBOY!!!

I haven't blogged for quite some time. However, now I am blogging for the sake of someone dear, whom I realised I have not really blogged about at all. It's none other than dodohead, Tian'en!!! It's his 20th birthday, so I wanna make it special, because I don't know how many of his birthdays I can truly celebrate with exclusive rights. In fact, I have never celebrated with him on the actual day itself since we knew each other!

Tian'en at the beach looking cool without trying to

It's been 4 yrs since we first met. It's been 4 yrs since we sat in that GP class, debating about something vaguely philosophical. He was so humourous and talkative; it's a pity some people never got to see that side of him. I 'm glad I did. Somehow, we became good friends but remained so (Dammit!).

Our very first photo together

It was only at the end of J2 that we somehow started talking again. I will never know what you went through in those 2 yrs....

On a bus to sentosa for a treat underwater;)

When he (finally) told me that he like me, I have to admit that I floated around on a cloud that day^_^ We had4 months only having his NS obligations in the way of spending more time together. After April though, I received news that I got my scholarship and we realised that we didn't have much time together. The news didn't really sink in though, until July/Aug when he had his block leave. Before that, we never really spent so much time together. Seeing each other day after day reminded us of what would be missing from our lives soon after.

In the bus on the first/second day when I returned in summer

I must say that I have really been blessed. Right before me leaving for London, Tian'en had block leave before leaving for Taiwan himself. So we spent most of his block leave prepping ourselves for the imminent separation. I had the adrenaline of going to London to shadow any pain from leaving Tian'en behind. If I had any hint of what I would be expriencing over in London, perhaps I might have felt differently... But I was still naive then... Luckily for Tian'en, he had his Taiwan trip to distract him too. We each had our own problems with the relationship but somehow we held strong till I returned for his commissioning ball

Our farewell dinner at Giraffe before I leave for the 1st yr

It has been a year and 1/3 since I left Singapore for my studies. The true test to our relationship has not passed yet though. NS has always been quoted as the real test and we made it through. However, the true test would be when he enters uni, after which would be me doing my PhD. What I have learnt though, is not to predict the number of chicks there would be just by the number of eggs coz an eleplant might step on them:( A step at a time... A step at a time...

HOTTIE^_^ That's wat makes a good blog rite? Hot guys everywhere!!!

This entry is dedicated to Tian'en, since it is his birthday. If you are not Tian'en, thanks for taking interest in reading up on us (you voyeur!!!). Part of the reason I did write on us is to discourage any long distance relationship. It's torturous and if I ever were given a chance again, I don't know whether I would take the plunge.

I love this pic coz it's so playful^^

Then again, it is this torture that made our love story so amazing. We can only live life once, yet we willingly give up such an important part of our life to wait endlessly for each other. Living it sure ain't as romantic as it's written down. How we r gonna make it through is anybody's guess... But having you in my life definitely beats never having you at all...

Thanks for everything, Tian'en.

Happy 20th Birthday
