… that I like hearing you say, “but baby, I’m gonna try my best anyway”. It makes my heart soar.
Dear all,
This is just a ranting post that I’m sure even I will laugh about years down the road. I just thought that since something like this can bring me down so bad, someone somewhere out there ought to get a reaalll laugh out of this… since when my boyfriend told his mom, she seemed to enjoy hearing our story -.-
I simply call it,
The Many Ways Fate Likes To Laugh At Our Relationship.
1) the first time I decided to go down and visit my boy in his house in Angouleme after our exams. I made arrangements to stay for ten days. He usually has only two exams a week so we’d planned to go to the beach that one weekend I was going to be down. Fate decides that the week after I arrive, the two exams from the previous week should be pushed back and two from the week after brought forward. Result? No weekend holiday, since he has to study for those 6 exams. I essentially went to play housewife for a week. Not that I didn’t enjoy his company, but still….. Joy.
2) The first time I went to melaka to visit him after he got back.. he caught a slight flu so kena quarantined, cannot go out. I was there for a week. He was quarantined for a week. Quarantine was lifted 2 days after I left. suey mou? Not yet? It gets better…
3) My boy comes up to KL for three days (wed, Thurs, Fri). We’d planned to go clubbing Friday night, but he’s not sure. On Thursday I ask him will I at least get to see him Friday, so we can have some time together or I can say goodbye, he says ok. The next morning he overslept, kena lock in the house. OKayyyyyy nevermind lor. Then at 6 i sms him “where are you, let me know ur plans?” he smses back “I’m on the way home T.T”.. he got pulled back to Melaka to have dinner with his dad’s friend. walauuuuuuu okay nevermind nevermind.. since he can’t come up i go down lor…
4) My friend supposed to take me down to melaka. Her car rosak earllyyyy in the morning. I decide to drive myself. DAMN la next time i get a bad omen I’m not gonna do anything for the rest of the day…. I got caught for speeding. this is THREE WEEKS BEFORE MY P IS DUE TO BE RENEWED TO A FULL LICENSE. I go to Melaka to my boy’s house. In the end… managed to get my wish.. spent 5 hours just me and him… running to and from police stations………… =.= Not exactly what I’d call a date… but it was an adventure I suppose. Next time I’ll be more careful with what I wish for lor.
5) That night itself got into an accident. Car now in workshop as a result. That and I was grounded for a week and forbidden to ever drive down to Melaka again. By this time dad is wondering whether he sent me to UK to study or to find boyfriends.
6) The week I was grounded I had no internet because water got into our wires. Internet came back the morning I stopped being grounded, by which time i HAD to get out of the house because my butt was rooting itself to the sofa in front of my PS3.
7) The next week my boy tells me he’ll try to come up thursday or friday. Friday morning he loses his voice. His mom forbids him to go because of H1N1 scare. (by the way he doesn’t wanna travel on weekends either cos that’s when his dad’s home in melaka instead of working in KL). I’m so tulan on Friday I lose it. I now need a new pillow.
The next week (being THIS week, knowing I’m at work for two weeks) he calls me on wednesday and says, he’s 100% coming up this weekend cos got family gathering. I ask him when he’s coming he says friday night come, sunday night go back…. I say, darling… I’m going to SINGAPORE THIS WEEKEND, REMEMBER????? He starts to open his mouth, but i don’t want him to hear me cry, and I don’t want my boss to hear me scream, so i tell him I’m off for lunch, and I hang up.
9) later I’m feeling better and I talk to my mom about it. She suggests we cancel the singapore trip. I’m okay with it… happy in fact. Dad’s a little less than pleased but he mumbles consent, which is enough. In the meantime, my boy is trying to buy a bus ticket to go up Thursday so we can at least have SOME time together.
On Thursday morning, he ODs on cough drops and catches a really high fever.
I decide I’m spending my weekend at home, with some vain hope that he’ll get well enough fast enough and still come up morning. Aforementioned boy makes several trips to hospital.
10) On Friday afternoon he calls to tell me his mom told his dad about his fever. Dad cancels family gathering and decides that whoever wants to see the hero can bloody well make their way down to Melaka.
My heart breaks just writing this shit.
I hope someone’s laughing. I need a little more time… and I’m hoping I have enough.
This morning I woke up discovering that something in me was dangerously different.

haha, funny how fate makes fun of a couple to bring them closer
yeah, i suspect it has to do with the fact that when I asked God for a lover I asked him to make it an adventure we could share. =.= Yeahhhh i got what i wished for. Years from now I’ll look back and wonder if I shouldn’t publish this sh*t.
