it is good to have companions during rainy days.

my faithful friend, who will be away for a year for his cadet pilot training. We will meet again in July.

it was a great brunch session with these unusually fun people. i would say that we never fail to laugh throughout the whole day, even at the slightest details.
i just hope that my life will stay that simple and carefree throughout, hopefully till the day i passed on.
taking a stroll down orchard road, i remembered the places we went to, the things we did, the food we ate, and the stuff we bought. all these, together. somehow, i feel the need to be beside you once again.
but i know, my tension will ease in another couple of weeks. because you are my reason to be happy.

it has been a long time since i last took a photo of myself.
"I just want to be in Perth right now; driving on the roads of foreign land, enjoying the scenery, sipping wine and having dinner with friends, and most importantly, spending quality time with myself, and us."

when I look at myself in the mirror, I see a more joyful self.
that is me, for I know.

this picture was taken when i took a second ride on the singapore flyer. this time, i did not make a second mistake to book it online. instead, we got our tickets at the booth and yes, we were issued student price.
it got better, definitely.

we have all grown up, and we have all matured. the wonderful friends in my life.
(picture taken by canon 60d)
our curiosity to explore the things around us, our purpose to keep growing up; all these keep our minds alive.
life is an irony; how we insist on walking on our two feet when we are very young, but refuse to take another step when we are older. but there is where the exciting part of life resides.
our mind, like a world of its own, constantly going in search of the unknowns. and we never get tired of it at all. life has its challenges, and to be positive, i am embracing it.
because this time round, i am getting better, and i can only get better.
"love is when you do silly things together, through video conversations, making baby talks, doing funny faces, ignoring the people who may see your stupid actions, and loving each other more."
"respect people who find time for you in their busy schedule. but love people who never look at their schedule when you need them."
after spending some quality time with love, i took a train all the way back to my university hall. come to think of it, it has been long since i return to school on mondays.
that’s besides the point.
the horrible crowd never fail to make me feel reluctant returning to school. that was a secondary reason definitely. in the train, i noticed that quite a number of people, especially those in their 30s or mid-40s, were staring in one direction. it was then i realized what they were staring at, after looking in the same direction.
a lesbian couple displaying affection to each other in public.
no, they were not unusual; they were natural and beautiful. i am not exactly a sociologist but i can see the younger generations accepting such a norm with an open heart. when i looked at them, i did not feel awful. they were trying to be accepted in the society.
and according to some research articles, gays and lesbians do not have a choice over their sexual orientation. and the people who caused them to be: family.
they have all the rights to do what they want. because it is normal to fall in love, even with people of the same sex. i want people to accept, and people to know that they are just like straight couples too. they have the rights to be who they are.
i am not advocating anything. they deserve the rights to love, to fight for equality in their own world.
the society is constantly changing. every minute, every second, something is evolving. who are we to stop it? and having said so, we are not capable to do so. look around you, some day, somehow, the world has to change for the better.
it has to be.

i am enjoying my life quite a bit, but i know, things are going to change pretty soon. somehow i do not want april to arrive. i am living in self-denial and then again, who am i to stop time?
my life will take a twist then, for about a year.
i do not suppose that i am going to adapt well without you beside me, but i know, this is for the better. i can feel how real we are being together.
this week is going to be quite a good one; meeting up for dinner, a promise to go ikea and catch a movie together, and barbecue with your house mates this coming weekend. because i am never going to let you shed tears again.
i am good at keeping promises, and i know it. i am going to fulfill every single one of them, especially when i said i am going to love you, dote on you even more each day.
i promise.

chocolate; a symbol of love.
in one way or another, i took the leap of faith. because i am very certain that it will work out just the way we perceive in the longest time possible.
amidst my last midterm for the week, i decide to spend some time writing this. i procrastinated quite a bit, and with assignments and revisions piling up, this is the best opportunity to do so.
the worst of me, the best of me, someone who is able to accept both extremes. to find someone that significant, is indeed a blessing in disguise. it was never an easy journey right from the beginning, but at least we know, this is worthwhile now.
19 september; we first met.
10 november; we dated.
3 march; official.
i promise to love you more each day.
