I'm supposed to be asleep by this time. Switching off the lights, and chatting through phone on my bed with my warm blanket on. This had been a routine activity, everyday.
Today, as usual I off my lights and called him. After the chat, we ended up quarreling.
Me: Where's my birthday present? My birthday past almost one month already.
Him: I though of want to give you when you move to Penang for work.
Me: Then have you bought one? I thought you would have give me when I went for my second interview.
Him: I did went to search for your present, but the shopping mall was very crowded. I'm shy to walk into those shops like shoe shops to buy you a present. It's very weired for a guy who enter a girl's shop.
Me: That means in your heart, I'm not important and it's not worth it for you to enter a shop to buy me a present.... (crying)
Him: Don't think like that, it's not as what you think....
Me: ...... (Crying)
Every time when we are far apart, if you find me the next morning with swollen eyes, you can be sure that I had a quarrel with my boyfriend. Am I wrong? I'm just hoping to be surprised with a birthday present. Is it too demanding?
It's just complicated. We are not like normal couples. He thinks that Valentine's day is not important, and he said that our anniversary and my birthday (and his birthday) are way too important than V-day. Then, I only received a birthday card on my birthday and he didn't seriously go and search and buy me a birthday present. This is what he meant by my birthday is much more important than the V-day.
Happy belated birthday to poor me.

2009 - Love is in the air
Recently, some of my friends silently get married without notice. Luckily, there's Facebook (gossiping tool), on and off updates me with my friends' good news. First, Chris (Form 6 class monitor), then Boon Kwai (Form 6 bestie's brother), and then Jess (primary school classmate), then Brenda (secondary schoolmate). Last but not least, which is the most shocking one to me, Alvin (my ex-boyfriend). Hoo Hoo .....
OMG! Ex-boyfriend getting married, but luckily I'm taken as well (hahaha). If this happens 3 years ago, I might end up sigh-ing. By browsing through his pages in FB and Friendster, I feel like I kind of lost track with his life - totally. I'm still feeling guilty that I did not drop a message on his birthday this year but he did so on my birthday. I have to congratulate him and it seems to me there are 2 good news - marriage + new born baby.
Despite the recession, we can't omit the power of LOVE. Chris, Boon Kwai (Dr. Goh), Jess, Brenda and Alvin, wishing you guys and your other halves, Happily Ever After !!!

Things will never be the same again
Today is supposed to be a day to be celebrated. JM headed to his first interview and supposingly will be offered the job very soon. And for me, I got a job last week and will start next month. Everything seems and sounds so nice and perfect. In real soon, this couple will start their own career (more appropriately -- WORK) respectively. And in real soon, both of them will be having different work life and environment, in different places...... Distance had always been a problem for them. And for this time, the only difference is the distance between them has 'evolved', whereby both of them will be working in Penang (me) and Melacca (JM). Distance can be overcome by 7 hours plus drive, toll fares, and fuel? Definitely not.
I almost forgot why I chose to apply jobs in Penang and not Ipoh. Ya, I tried to convince myself that there are lesser chances in Ipoh and wanted to change to maybe a new environment. Therefore, I chose Penang and KL. I thought it was fate, where I didn't receive any calls from KL for interview, and the only interview I had was in Penang. I convinced myself AGAIN, that it's FATE that brought me to Penang to start my new stage of life, closer to him. However, God often challenge my faith and perseverance. It started when JM didn't manage to get his MBA application and had to work while trying to apply MBA again. His plan changed 180 degrees, as well as mine.
It's time to THINK very properly how to face the future challenges! I just tidy up topics related to my work and will start studying them soon - chemistry, food analysis, microbiology, Food Act and Regulations. It's kind of back to study life, just that the purpose of study is not meant for examinations anymore. Good news or bad news?
