MERRY CHRISTMAS

This would be the 2nd Christmas T and I are spending together. It is so nice. Last year we were also in HK spending our Christmas together. Talk about history repeating itself but I'm not complaining just enjoying the every moment we are together.

Happy Anniversary

Today is our anniversary. We actually met in beginning of August 2003 but got serious only around 10th of December 2003.

T is at Batam with his company.

We had a nice celebration last night, went to this quiet Japanese restaurant near St. Andrews Junior College for dinner. Great food, we had a Japanese paper steam boat. Yup you read right it was a paper steam boat, the container was made of paper. It was interesting. 3 Japanese men ran this restaurant and only 1 of them could speak English.

After which we had a nice walk and chat around Mount Faber ending up at the SAFRA Mount Faber near there. Where we had hot chocolate. It was a nice way to spend an anniversary.

Looking back it the past year, I realised how much I've change and him too. It started off being a one sided thing, where I was so totally smitten by him but he was new to the dating and relationship scene, so was rather non committal. But now, our love for each other has grown so much and we actually can't imagine us not being together.

I'm happy now, much happier than I've ever been with any of my previous boyfriends, though things are something difficult, we have really learnt to accept each other's idiosyncrasies and stubbornness and compromise, really compromise. Wow, never know I could be less pig-headed and compromise ;). One thing I've realised that I've got rid of my baggage left over from my 1st boyfriend, A. He was suffering from depression and had this thing about 'breaking-up' with me whenever there is a situation he can't handle. I was left with the baggage of my boyfriends doing that if I disagreed with them or had a situation with them. Was usually worried if I really showed my true feelings about a situation. T has made me discard that last piece of baggage, he would really try to work things out with me, no matter how painful or difficult the topic or situation is. That has really made our relationship stronger. And after a year, there was not once he every wanted to 'break-up' because of anything but have always used 'work things out'. To him there is no such thing as a situation that cannot be talked out and worked upon.

Birthday

It is T's birthday yesterday. I booked a room at a hotel in Sentosa, got some scented candles and massage oils. No present though but I did get him a card that declares how much I really appreciate him being my boyfriend and how much I love him. Yes, I know it is tacky but hey it is still rather romantic, in a way.

Okay have to leave the office early to get to Sentosa to prepare everything.

Gosh, it took me ages to get there. First off, it rained very heavily and I had to wait for the rain to lessen (hmmm… might be grammatically wrong), then the stupid bus took ages to get there. The bus driver much have been way ahead of schedule, he practically stopped at every bus stop even though there wasn’t anyone waiting there. Fed-up, fed-up, fed-up.

Got to the hotel rather late about 4:30, Didn’t have much time to do much, left at 5 to meet him in town. Was almost late though, thank goodness I took the MRT or I would really have been late.

Went for Tamadae for dinner and it was good the dessert was even better, he really loved his chocolate thingy (which as you can tell, I have no clue as to what it is called).

We strolled along the river and went to Harbour Front and spent rather a long time there, so that we can catch the free shuttle bus to the hotel, yea, yea very cheapsakate.

The hotel was old and rather dingy but we had a very big private balcony so it was really cool.

That is all I will write in this journal. Private matters will not be written. ☺

The first entry

This journal is opened for me to just place my thoughts about certain things that are happening in my life.

I'm a gay male Singaporean living in Singapore and it would seem that there are lots of stuff in this country that I can write about. I'm trying not to make this journal into a drama queen site but trying to keep it simple and hopefully sane.

I don't know who would bother to read this but if you do, enjoy. If you are homophobic, read this with an open mind and you might realise that we are people after all; if not, please don't bother reading at all.

Oh yea, T is my boyfriend, so his name will pop up once in a while.
