One-week love

I haven't been writing for about a week and that's because I have been waiting for it to somehow conclude, so I can pen it down, in the most beautiful way possible.

Yes, this is going to be a 'love' story, albeit a rather short one.

Received a text on Jack'D exactly a week ago from him who only had three professionally taken studio photos.

I was a bit surprised because I don't normally get messages from 'this sort of profiles'. (They normally go for guys with topless pictures, flaunting their abs)

Yes, I was surprised but I wasn't being 'desperate'. I replied, saying thanks and demanded for 'other pics' as the ones he had were taken with shades. At that point, I didn't expect him to reply but he did, with two more 'everyday' photos of him.

I was 'quite happy' with the photos. Not drop dead gorgeous but enough to stimulate my interest. (I think I'm kinda superficial?)

On Monday, I texted him and asked if he would like to meet up for coffee.

Oh, by the way, I've always made it clear on my profile that I am not looking for ONS/Fun.

I waited for him at Guylian, at the Harbour. He texted me and said that he would be running a bit late.

I was kinda nervous as I didn't know what to expect. What if he looked so different from his pictures? What would happen next if he looked too delicious? Would I be able to carry myself well?

Anyway, he turned up just on time. Gosh, he's so Gorgeousss!!!

His eyes, his head, his specs, his smile, his hair. When all these good elements get combined together, it's a super charming person.

Obviously, when you go on dates, food is not important at all. We just ordered some waffles and fruits to share and tea. Perfect. As I had told him that I don't drink.

He's 36, but he looked like 26 the most. Born here but relocated to HK because of work. His mum is living here so he comes back a few times a year to visit.

We chatted well. Initially, he said he's 'working' in a company doing some design stuff. But I found out later that night that he actually owned a company. And, sadly, he's already got a bf. In an open relationship, he said.

That moment when he told me that he's attached, my heart sank, but I managed to hide my disappointment.

We walked around the harbour after Guylian. I kinda know the area better than him since he's away from the country most of the time.

I brought him to a perfect dating spot. (No, I wasn't planning anything. Just showing him around.)

We talked more about our interests, our lives, etc.

He kept telling me that 'I'm cute'. He caressed my lap and I let him. We hugged. I didn't resist. I guess I've been waiting to hug or to be hugged for a very long time. If you've been following this space, you would know.

He's kinda sporty. He talked about sports he's into. He's so full of energy and passion. I already started to like him.

We then walked to this playground at the harbour. It's a nice place. During the day, there will be lots of kids. At night, the adults would come and play.

Actually, in the past, my ex was very into this playground. I always said to him 'dun wan lah, I dun wan to play, you can play and I will watch'. Yes, I am a very uptight person. Sometimes, even so when I am him.

But I had a lot of fun that night. We played the slide, the swings. And, he held my hand.

The feeling was beyond words. It was warm, I felt loved, and being cared for. I am falling for him.

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

I am free!

Submitted my thesis last week. Worked till 6am, sent my final draft to my supervisor, and went to bed. Didn't really sleep though, as I set my alarm at 8am, and by then, my supervisor had already emailed me the final edits required. I incorporated the final changes, and saved a few copies to my pen drives, to dropbox, before I showered and headed off to uni to print. Deadline was at 12pm, I was at the print shop at around 10.30am. It was a super cheerful asian lady. The print shop was empty, probably because it was Stuvac. Printed the entire thing in colour, cost me a fortune. But luckily the lady kindly gave me some discounts, so nice of her. Took a few photos of them before I handed them in. Uni is finally over!!! ...OR probably not??! One of the best things being with Jay, is that he is interesting. He's smart. Because, you know, I am already smart, so I need someone smarter for some stimulation. (Just kidding!! :-p) I called him right after I finished posting the ph
