Our relationship is like a roller coaster or even more exciting. We went through ups and downs with obstacles. Laughters and tears.
I remembered when I first met him in Dec 1997, it was at Bukit Batok MRT and we were waiting for someone whom I do not wish to be named. I was invited by Peijun to a BBQ at East Coast Park and we met at Bukit Batok MRT.
While I was talking with Peijun, I noticed him because he was sitting near our group and did not talk nor smile. I was thinking whether he was alone as in not in our group because he was sitting on the stairs alone by himself.
When Peijun's friend came, only then he started talking but not to me because probably, I have a "dao" or too pretty face that he didn't dare to approach...hehe
Upon reaching East Coast, we did not talk at all. When night falls, the first sentence to me, "Do you have any sweets?" As I had the habit of carrying smint, I gave some sweets to him. And from then, he started introducing himself but we did not talk much. A guy, Marcus, striked a conversation with me because he happened to study in SP, EE third year and I was in my first year. We chatted for quite a long while.
At around 9pm, I have to make a phone call to my mum because my mum was very strict with me and did not allow me to stay till 11pm. What I remembered is she kept on paging me (10 years ago, pagers were in trend and hp were too expensive). I asked Peijun the location of nearest public phone booth and it was a distance away. Peijun's friend heard it and asked him to accompany me to the phone booth. We did not chatted much throughout the long walk.
At about 10.30pm, I left after exchanging numbers with him and Marcus. The next day, my pager appeared 532-11 24 (something like this) and I knew the message was from them because of their personal codes.
After the BBQ gathering, I seldom chatted with both of them and occassionally received calls from them or called them mostly for X'mas and New Year greetings.
Then one day, something happened which made us closer. I met up with a guy whom I never met before through recommendation as I was single at that time. Upon looking at the guy, I almost felt like walking away. Probably, I was still young and looked into looks but as long as the person's looks is average, I didn't mind. However the person was fat and short. Dishing appearance aside, he talked weird things that I don't understand and even wanted me to become his gf?! We met for the first time and he asked that type of question which scared me off. And the best part is he bought the movie tickets beforehand without asking my opinion.
In the end, I had to call up some guy friend to pose as my bf. I managed to get him at home and he rushed down to Bugis. When he saw me, he automatically held my hand and introduced himself as my bf. Super automatic without my "teaching".
Then we went to watch "Replacement Killer" and the guy just said that he had something on and left, leaving both of us to watch the show. Even though the guy had left, we were still holding hands together. I have forgotten how we managed to "unstick" our hands.
That incident makes us closer and I started to develop chemistry for him. He started to meet me at McDonald's near my house to teach me Engineering Maths which I was bad at.
On 13 Feb 1998, he gave me a call and we chatted. When the time striked 12 midnight, he asked me to listen to a song. I can still remember the song by Jacky Cheung, "Ni Zhi Bu Zhi Dao". He asked me whether I could be his gf and I told him "Sorry....his life will have an additional woman...which is I". And on 14 Feb 1998, we become a couple.
Our relationship in the first three months was not smooth sailing despite people saying that first few months are usually the honeymoon period.
The tears, pain, breakup, lies....all I wish is a complete stop with complete trust in each other.
I hope Lao gong and I will hold hands forever and grow old together with two children.
Happy Valentine Day to all! May all couples be blissfully in love.
