MB is gone again, this time just a short 6 days(as compared to the previous 6 weeks to Seoul), for a wedding shoot in Perth for a friend. Though he just flew off this morning, I am missing him already. And I would only see him again next Tues. I guess it never gets easier, having to say goodbye, no matter how short the separation is. I know without a doubt that I can never have a long distance relationship, the pain of separation is too tough, and I really salute those who can hang on for so long. It really is not easy at all.

Before he left, we had a good long talk yesterday when he sent me home. I had dinner at his house where his mum cooked a yummy dish of Gado Gado(I think), which is some sort like a rojak, indonesian style, with various vegetables, taupok and ketupat rice cubes with a delicious peanut based sauce which was both sweet and spicy.

Next month would mark our 6th month together, relatively short to some people, but it seems to me that we have come such a long way. From just being aquaintance, to friend, then being thrown together last sem by 3 common modules that we were taking,liking each other but keeping it inside, finally me being brave enough to admit to him. I sort of made the first 'move'..hahah..I have always believed in being upfront about my feelings, if you like somebody, tell him. If he likes you, then good for you. If he doesnt, then move on. No point being wishy washy and dragging everything on and being miserable. Fight for your happines, I say. I was all prepared to move on if he said no, but luckily, he was smart enough to recognize the treasure before him(heheh...bhb, i know;-)). And so we happily got attached, much to the surprise of many friends who were of course happy for us. Happily ever after? Not so...

Maybe in the first flush of love, you would feel like nothing can go wrong. But a relationship is so much more than that. For it to work, both parties must learn how to give and take, and it also takes lots of patience and effort to develop mutual understanding and to work out differences. To love despite shortcomings and other what nots and in good times and bad.

Guess I got lucky this time round, to have found someone who can take my blur-ness, my snits,someone who can cheer me up when I am upset, pamper me with chocolates,understand me better than anyone else, push me when I get lazy...and so much more. Though we might have very different interest, like he likes photography and planes, and I like food and other frivolous stuff. He likes reading Newsweek, economist etc and I like reading Cleo. He likes visitng museums while I find museums a bore, we have learnt to compromise. After all, when you love someone, you like to see that person happy, right?

6 days would be gone in a flash. And besides, I have so many things to do that I don't know which one to start first. Everything's been piling up again. And i just feel so so tired that I don't feel like doing anything..At least one thing to look foward to is some chocolate therapy on Fri...wheeee
