I dodged A kiss

It was Thursday night.

I probably only had 2-3 hours of sleep on the previous night, as I was working till 1.30am for a draft to be sent to my supervisor. Might be the stress, or I-dun-know, anyway I woke up 10-ish and freshened myself up so that I could go to uni to meet with her.

I didn't want to do anything productive after the meeting. I wanted to give myself time off, to just relax, play dota, watch porn, wank, etc.

Then I remembered there was this guy whom I had chatted with several days ago. He lives in the same neighbourhood as me. So I texted him and asked what he was doing...where he was...and when I found out that he was actually at home, I asked if he wanted to come out to just meet, and chat (and I wasn't expecting any sex ok! like 100% honest). He said yes.

His place is like 500meters away, or more than that, it was actually further away than I initially expected. There he was, waiting for me across the traffic light.

He actually looked so different compared to his profile pic on the app, in a good way! Should be around the same age as me, plus/minus 2 years? He's from vietnam, English was ok, and I actually kinda had that 'feeling'. Not a boner yet, but that kinda 'scandalous' feeling! Hmm...how should I describe it, like when you first meet up with a date and you kinda like him?

We weren't on a date though. It was just a friendly meet-up.

I knew he was tired as he worked for the whole day in a kitchen setting. I too was tired, but I just wanted to go out, and walk, and let the excitement of meeting strangers to excite me a bit.

He suggested that we walked to the Bay. So, the suburb that I am in, is actually along the river (that flows to the sea, where you take Opera House/ Harbour picture). So there's a bay, which I had not been though I have been living here for a few years already!

While we were making our way there (just 200 meters from his place), we were still kinda nervous I think. But, I could feel that he was walking very close to me. It could just be a 5 centimetre difference, but you know, we humans, we can feel the proximity. Well, I attributed it to the narrow pathways.

The bay, as I discovered, is such an ideal place for dating. The place is huge, like a park, situated next to the river, with boats, with lights, with benches, with minimal crowd. Actually, also a perfect spot for murders.

Well, to be honest right, I did think about the possibility of him wanting to murder me..Maybe he was someone crazy you know, i thought...Can't stop myself from being cautious.

Anyway, he edged closer and closer...and finally putting his hand on my shoulder as we walked. Hmm...I thought...err, being someone who is not that socially experienced, I thought it might not be a good to put his hand away, because maybe it's just him being friendly? just his style? I really don't know..For a male and female, it's obviously not ok, but for guys? I don't really know where to draw the line sometimes. For example, some people just like to give you a pat on the back...

We just chatted, and walked further and further into the park/forest. There were about 4 pairs we met that night? I think we were the only gays. Not sure if people were suspicious of any indecent acts from us.

We finally sat down on the wooden wharf. And he touched my calves. It sounds weird now, but it wasn't totally like that, though i was feeling a bit awkward. So, I just kept asking him questions to divert his attention a bit...

It was getting late (almost 11pm) so I suggested we should go home. On the way back, again, his hand was on my shoulder. Then he requested for a hug, didn't really feel the boner though..Then, after another 100 meters, he stopped, and turned to me, and wanted to kiss me.

It all happened within a second? and I dodged it and pushed him away. It was awkward, for like 30 seconds...then we started talking again.

The conclusion is, he's kinda nice (appearance wise, not the hunky or ultra fit type, but just decently presentable). But I think he's a playboy. Because he kept saying he liked me. It was just the first time we met. How could it be? I am not drop dead gorgeous.

I am glad, it didn't develop into a hook-up. I think I am slightly more matured now?

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...
