One-week Love (Final Part)

Monday, Friday and finally Saturday night.

He told me he had a dinner planned that night, with a friend, but the friend ditched him last minute.

So I asked him if he wanted to go to the Quay to see the special fireworks, as part of this big Fleet Review event going on in Sydney at the moment.

It was a warmer night. After having my dinner, Taro Pork Belly with Rice (doesn't sound to glam does it?), I walked over to his apartment and waited for him.

On my way, I saw an Asian couple in their 20s probably. One of them was reaching out his hand to hold the other's. It's such a random yet beautiful scene. I saw hope for the gay community.

There were heaps of people on the streets in city that night. The crowd grew as we approached the Quay. As the roads were closed for motor vehicles, we were able to walk right at the center of the roads like a boss.

The fireworks part was a bit disappointing, as we were arriving just on time, and because we didn't get there earlier, all the good spots were filled and we were only able to see part of the fireworks through buildings, trees and passing trains.

I felt sorry. All because of the Pork Belly la, if not the night would be perfect.

We had to walk back from the Quay to the city. Which i think is about a kilometer long at least.

We decided to go to the Harbour again to have something to drink. And guess what, there was another fireworks waiting for us there!

It's actually the fireworks on display regularly at the Harbour, every Saturday night. And it was beautiful.

We spent most the night watching a few street performances at the Harbour. I got to say i really like how he was able to continue 'touching' me even when we were surrounded by others watching the shows.

It's a good thing to do actually, to show that you still have a bit of your attention at the person you go out with, even when you are so engrossed with the performances. We were standing, forming part of the crowd watching the performances and his hand was constantly in touch with my body.

We didn't end up getting a drink at the Harbour and we both felt hungry already. So we walked back to Chinatown and had Sea Food Combination Chow Mien. I remember it because we both made the same choice. Great minds think alike?

We walked a bit after the meal and he walked me to the bus stop. It wasn't a ceremonious parting. I actually hurried him to go home first without waiting for my bus to come as I thought it's late and it would just be more difficult to part. I didn't want a sad or drama-like parting.

We were still messaging each other after Saturday night. He suggested that we could meet on Sunday night but that would be late at night as he had a family dinner planned.

I didn't ask him out again on Sunday night. Probably I just wanted to keep it like that.

He flew back to HK on Monday night. We were still texting each other until he had to switch off his phone for take off.

And that's a little untold story of mine, now told.

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...
