A Date

Finally got some me-time to sit down and write about what's been happening in the past few days.

Had a presentation on Thursday morning, met up with supervisor on Friday. No more assessments except for the thesis at year end. Got some tasks to be completed by Tuesday but haven't started working on it.

Went out with friends last night to see Vivid. It's a light festival kinda thing that is organised annually in Sydney. Lights were projected on the Opera House, the bridges, and some historical buildings. Some improvements this year as they added acoustic effects and instead of just images, they had videos projected on those buildings. After that, we went to a Chinese restaurant for dinner, we were all famished as we had to walk for about 1 km from those places to Chinatown. The dinner was awesome, probably because we were just too hungry. Had sweet and sour pork, mongolian beef and long beans fried with minced pork.

Something more interesting/exciting....

So, on Friday night, I was feeling tired and was just resting on my bed in the evening. Then suddenly I got this message on Jack'd from a guy with a naked upper body pic as profile pic. Initially I thought he must be looking for fun and I would just ignore him given my circumstances now, even though he looked ok in that pic. We exchanged a few msgs and he asked if I would like to meet up with him after dinner. He offered to drive to my suburb so that we could just hang out near my place. I was kinda interested in this person (not sexually) so I said ok but I said I got to let you know clearly that I am not looking for fun. Which he replied and said he wasn't looking for fun either.

It was about 9 at night when he arrived at my place. A Chinese, came to Sydney 10 years ago, trained in accounting and also a badminton coach. He suggested that we could have a drink at any local bar but then I told him that I am not really good at/ like drinking. So we ended up in an Italian pizza place about 50 metres away from my place. It's a big place which was good because we had more privacy, especially when this was our first meeting and I wanted to make sure I got to know him as much as i can. Haha.

He has this smiley face. Not super muscular type of guy but it was just right. What really attracted me was 'him', it wasn't the physicals, more about his demeanor, thoughts, etc. And because we had some common interests such as badminton, reading, and accounting/finance, we were able to talk for long without any awkward moments. We talked for like 2 hours. And we exchanged a few more msgs when he got home.

I can sense that he may like me. But I know this isn't love at first sight, more like infatuation. And I shouldn't let myself jump into another relationship so soon. I will have to know him more, even if we remain as friends it will be good to have more friends right? We're still messaging each other but I try not to msg him too often, as I dun wan to lead him into anything.

Just came back from the church....It's about 9.10pm here in Sydney.

I will have my first follow-up blood test on Tuesday morning. I'm worried. I really dun know what will happen next week and in the following few weeks. Will I be fine?

  1. Good to hear that you have a date. I'm happy for you :D As for your worry about your health, you should know that worrying will not make any changes. So, instead of worrying, why not live each day happily and enjoy the moment with friends and family?

How long is 20 months?

It's been almost a year since I last wrote. So what prompted me to write again? I still haven't gotten over Jay. He left in June 16? Yes, its now March 18. Shocking right,? How can someone, especially someone like me who can be so determined in my career and studies, who is so rational in all other material aspects, fail to marshal the power to put an end to it. I wanted to write, to remind myself how much time has passed, as his second birthday post our breakup is coming up. Last year, I mailed him a gift and a card. There was no reply. He finally agreed to meet over lunch about half a year ago? I texted him on a monthly basis to say hello. He would give me a simple reply if he felt like it. There was this perpetual urge to see him, to talk to him. I took photos of the baked goods I made. I used the 'save' feature on Facebook to save cute or funny videos. I hoped one day I would have the opportunity to show him all these. How foolish. I noticed I did ...

The "Emergency Contact"

Got a letter from the insurance company this morning, confirming that my conditions are not 'pre-existing'. Glad that they are willing to pay for my colonoscopy and endoscopy (with an 'excess' of $500, which means I would have to pay for the first $500 in a calendar year for any claims I make).  I called the clinic quickly to make an appointment for the procedures. The earliest they have is this Wednesday, so I will be 'admitted' this Wednesday afternoon.  The lady over the phone said that I must arrange for someone to bring me home after the procedure because I will be sedated (as opposed to anaesthesia) and under NSW laws it is a requirement that I go home accompanied.  I can't think of anyone really. No family, no friends, no one, just me alone. I told her I have no one that I can ask. I wondered what she thought, poor kid maybe. Fortunately, there is a specialised cab service that I can hire to escort me home.  Then, there was the pre-admi...

Life Too Gay

Secret Santa. Christmas gift 2013 to one of my housemates.  Had a test yesterday.  Went to the nearby Myer department store to look for a gift for the Secret Santa event at my accommodation. Budget was $10. Saw a lot of cute little inventions, most of them averaged around $20. Could have gotten something within budget but it wouldn't be as interesting so I decided to get this little duckling infuser. It's sightly over budget ($15) but it's worth the while because I think he likes it! (I think he still doesn't know that it's from me, he's also gay by the way) Gay much?  I got a box of chocolates, an assortment of mini mars bars, milky way, M&Ms, etc. To be honest, I didn't like it! I have been trying to avoid chocolates, so that I don't have to take in unnecessary calories. My chocolate quota is reserved for really down moments, when I really need to up my mood. But I still put up a smile la, my secret santa must be looking at me when I unw...
