Life has never been the same after 25 October as I first set my eyes on her.
I’ve stopped blogging since then as I’ve tonnes of things to catch up with my life. Yes, it’s been more than a month and I appreciate those who still keep coming back into my blogsite to check for updates. I’ve not stop blogging guys! Thank you once again.
Sales is important yes. Serving the nation is important yes. Friends are important yes. SP Rovers is important yes. Toastmasters is important yes. Family is more important yes. And now girlfriend is even more important. So so so many things happened during November and my life will never be the same again. Thanks dar!
If I were to type a full account of what I’ve done during this 1 month, it will be a thesis long entry.Let me just make it short and obmit the emotional part of the story…
25 Oct – we had our first date and that’s when my grandpa was suffering relentlessly in the hospital. My mom told me no matter what, I MUST be there at the hospital. God bless that my grandpa pulled through
26 Oct – I met up with Guan, Harris and Sylvester for Toastmasters Halloween meeting in the afternoon and met her and her sis again at night. They went to East Coast Park for rollar blading but I can’t join them. So I met them up for dinner and midnight movie. Spoke to her sis a lot that night and knew her more
27 Oct – I can’t remember what I did but I know the whole afternoon I was on msn chatting with her. I seem to like her
28 Oct – It’s a normal working day for me but I’m preparing documents to be presented at the Staff Retreat which is the following day
29 Oct – Staff Retreat Day 1, brain draining session and manage to iron out a couple of things. Talk to her over the phone for hours. Sorry to my 2 bros, Benwei and Yongsen, for not playing cards with you guys that night
30 Oct – We had our own braining storming session and more people came in the evening to join us for BBQ. She was there for interview and BBQ as well.
31 Oct – We checked out the room and took a cab home. I had a long sleep that day after that as if I was concussed
1 Nov – All rehearsals was done to prepare for the D-day. I’m the host for my Toastmasters Halloween party. I thought it was a great jo done! I met her for shopping that night. I also brought her down to see Rovers for their Overnight orienteering. We decided to stay out for the night after that
2 Nov – As I didn’t had enough rest the day before, I took on the grueling 30km run with my athletic, Kiasong, with struggles and sufferings. It was yet another day of rest.
3 Nov – It’s normal working day for me but I’m doing much more as I’m going for my reservist the following day for 2 weeks
4 Nov – Met up with a client before I joined my guys for reservist.
5 Nov – I lost my pda phone as some idiots stole it! Luckily she was understanding enough to accompany me to buy another phone. I’m sorry dar, to make you wait for me without letting you know where am I! We had dinner and she insisted on paying for me. We had pool session with Weijie, Wesley and Keith after that. I sent her home and the guys book in to camp
6 Nov – The main bulk of men booked in and it’s really a lot of people. Nothing interesting during the first week of reservist. So I decided to join her and her friend for a KTV session.
7 Nov – I can’t remember what happened today but I know I’m excited about booking out
8 Nov – I met her to go church in the morning, brought her along to meet a client, to buy present for Shuting’s newborn and we split after that. After hers and mine dinner, we met again with my batch friends for a drink. She was first introduced to my friends and I was kinda happy as she’s being accepted by them.
9 Nov – I met up with her for lunch along with Wilson. Just happen so that Edwin and Wei Wei was at the same coffeeshop. We set on the same table and no one knows who she was as I didn’t introduce. We went on our own ways and dar joined me to meet Yanlong for the Toastmasters session at Chong Pang TMC. It was a great session and I think I’ve done well. Yanlong went home after that and I went to dar’s house to take her lodging for her as she is going back to Malayisa that night. She accompany me back home so that I can take my things to camp after I sent her to customs.
10 Nov – It was live firing session which was an interesting and yet time wasting. There were so many of us and we have to wait. I was on the phone with her that night and it was kinda a long talk. I missed her
11 Nov – It’s mission time and I shall not elaborate on it further. I managed to call her with my man’s phone as reception was bad. Although it was only 20min, listening to her voice out in the field is more than enough for me
12 Nov – I tried to use my phone to call her. I managed to get reception but after a while the line cut off. I’m enjoying my time with my guys anyway. We were evacuated out due to good performance. But along the way out, thunderstorm came and all of us were drenched. We managed to stay in training shed for the night. Reception was 100% so I called her and even spoke to her mom as her mom’s birthday is the next day. I’m a happy man!
13 Nov – Time to pack shop and go back to camp. I spent the day clearing equipment and settling stores with my guys. I intended to stay in camp for the night as this is the last night of reservist. She is not in Singapore anyway and I’ve been almost out with her every book out. My friends ain’t happy with it I guess. We went to our “homeground”, Changi Village for the infamous Nasi Lemak. Everything has been increased by 50 cents! We went back to camp and I chatted with her on phone until nights off
14 Nov – It’s the last day of my reservist! I can’t remember what I did but managed to speak to JJ and there’s job offering from his company. I hope to be able to find a job for her soon
15 Nov – I went to Fuhua SS to meet a client. After that I went for my Toastmasters session once again. I delivered a heartfelt speech titled “A Beautiful Love Story”. It’s partial a true story about me and dar but the ending is a sad one, which I hope not to happen between us. It was so touching that one of the audience actually teared.
16 Nov – I had an outing with Neil, Darren, Gary and Kwanlin. Kwanlin sent me to receive her as she’s back to Singapore. Darren, Kwanlin, dar and me went Chervon for KTV session and it was fun!
17 Nov – I know I have to be discipline. The long awaiting business plan which I’m supposed to do as CEO is my priority now. I spent my entire morning just to do it, partially. I had lunch with her at Sumohouse and she insisted on paying coz she’s late for lunch, 3pm! She even bought me a water bottle asking me to drink more water. She helped me to clear stuffs in base and I’m very touched by what she did. We had Teochew porridge for dinner and I sent her home after that.
18 Nov – I spent my time doing biz plan in the morning again. Sales in the afternoon. I met her at Clementi MRT before we headed to Bugis to met Darren and Amanda. we were out for double date that day. Dar bought me a watch and supposedly a t-shirt. We had dinner at NYDC. We shopped around and I bought a handbag for her mom as I’m going to her Malaysia’s home to visit her family. I sent her home and the feeling was great!
19 Nov – Brought her with me to meet client. We had dinner together and uncle from coffeeshop joked about us.
20 Nov – Went to meet Mr Arun at Woodlands in the afternoon. I went out from base earlier to have lunch with her at Causeway Point. I bought her a handbag as well as hers is spoilt. I went back to base and work and meet her at night as my army friends is treating us for dinner. We dine at a Japanese restaurant and dar and I ate a lot of food :p
21 Nov – I ended late in office which caused us caught in the jam back to Malaysia. I’m going back to JB with her and I’m extremely excited about it. We reached Pontian, her hometown, at about 11pm and her sister waited for us to have dinner together. Sorry mei, you must be very hungry that night
22 Nov – I joined them for church service that morning. All the meals her mom cooked is nice and healthy. I like the peacefulness of the place. I also like talking to her grandma even though I don’t understand what she say half the time. I joined them for devotion at night and ended the day “peacefully”. I was worried if her parents like me. Apparently yes!
23 Nov – It was a sad morning as I make her angry. It was supposed to be a small incident but we just don’t give way to each other. We hardly spoke to each other that day. On the way to Kukup in the car, dar’s eyes was filled with tears. Then I know that I must have hurt her. I’m so so sorry dar!! It’s my last day here and I’m leaving you for the next 1 week. I wish that didn’t happen. They sent me to bus interchange and I bided them farewell.
24 Nov – Life without her reverts me back to normal routine. I met Martin in the afternoon and my Rovers for some Rovers Big Foot matters. I went back to office and went home with Benwei
25 Nov – It’s a long day today. I met up with 4 teachers today and have to rush to Toa Poyah at night for my first clubbing session with Kowloon-Singapore TMC. The night ended at 10.30pm and it’s my first late night with Toastmasters. I missed giving a call to her and she’s kinda sad.
26 Nov – I’s been a fruitful day once again but I made her super angry. I thought I cannot be forgiven. So I hurrily learn to make cards for her and be really apologetic to her. I had weird thoughts in my mind. But dar was accommodating to forgive me. It won’t happen if she’s other girls. Thanks dar!!
27 Nov – Working day. Went to SP to set up abseil lane for Rovers to practice as they have a race over the weekend. Didn’t have dinner until 10 plus. Dar scolded me but there’s nothing I can do.
28 Nov – Met 3 teachers today and I headed to Expo to buy rams for her father. Went home after that to make that apology card for her. I’m going to her home tml alone. Let’s pray that everything will be fine and she forgives me.
29 Nov – I was accompanied by Todd Duncan as he delivered his sales talk over the MP3. I explored Pontian a little as I walked to her house, which took me 20min or more, can’t remember. I was excited when I see her again. It’s yet another simple day at her home. I spent most of the time in her room with her sis as well. I brought along laptop this time, so time passes faster now.
30 Nov – In order not to commit the same mistakes, I woke up earlier than her, as usual, and this time round I turned on my laptop and started working on proposals and work. Her mom wants to keep us until lunch before we head back to Singapore. And yes, she’s coming to Singapore with me, just for me! We landed at Victoria Street that evening. We had light food and headed to grandpa and grandma’s house. They were happy to see me, and of course dar’s presence! After that we went back to AMK and guess what? My mom asked if she mind to stay over at our house. She’s sick, so is Aaron. We bought porridge for them and dar stayed over at my place. It’s really a good feeling to have your mom asking your girl to stay for the night. It’s about accepting your the other half. Thanks mom!
There’s more story to come but I shall end on the last day of November. Stay tune…
