Had quite some thoughts over these few days...if things are meant to be, let it be. Really got some new insights about my previous relationship with Anqi whilst talking to alot of people..and i mean ALOT. Haha...
Let's start from Chapter One...a new life began for me while i was still in BMT...on one fine day after booking out, i was online in ICQ at 6.18pm, and i icq-ed Anqi. And there we go, crapping about stuff and i invited her over to my "room-warming" (just shifted in Sengkang you see, and she complained that i didn't invite her over). The flame rekindled after 4 years of being friends that very day and yah, eventually we got together again on the 5th of March, 2002. Honeymoon period was obviously sweet, with me getting into OCS and having her as my other half. Things went on very sweetly and happily until.......
Chapter Two: Armageddon.
I was commissioned and posted in SAFPU. A pure, innocent guy was just getting to know the real life, in both its negative and positive aspects. But obviously, shit doesn't happen as for the positive aspect right? As you might had guessed it by now, i was rather influenced back then, and i went for a fling just for the fun of it. Again, i must reiterate..it was BACK THEN. Things between Anqi and I were still pretty, but i was tempted by the playful side of me.
Chapter Three: End of The World.
I was with this fling for close to two months when i suddenly realised that she cannot be comparable to Anqi in all aspects (ALL i mean, serious). Just when i was to bring the issue of breaking up, Anqi found the shit. Was forced to come up with a decision; Anqi or her. Obviously i chose Anqi. In that point of time, thoughts of her crying out over the phone to me about her SIP in Bukit Batok overwhelmed me with extreme guilt. I wasn't there for her when she needed a crying shoulder. I wasn't there for her when she needed someone to console her. And the god-damned me, knowing fully her problems, chose to ignore it. Although i did not go through the whole experience of being in SIP, i did put myself in her shoes. The feelings were incomparably screwed up. I can still remember every single bits and pieces of the whole drama. Even till today.
I am still very traumatised.
Chapter Four: Time To Make Up.
Before the whole drama, i can still remember vividly that she disturbed me almost everytime we went out...she will say this..."you want to marry me anot, har? dun wan ah...=(" After the whole incident, it dawned upon me that if someone is ever so willing to accept me even after all these, she is definitely the one for life. After the whole drama, I even mentioned this to her on numerous occasions..."after I've graduated from NIE, i will want to get engaged with you. After i have enough money, i will make you Mrs Lim." It was because from that time on, i put my heart and soul into things. But still, i did screw up. Like still smoking and flirting around with my friends' female friends while clubbing (with no ill feelings towards the girl intended). I believe that things got so badly that eventually feelings faded.
Chapter Five: Recent Things...
Okay, basically a summary of what had been said earlier on. One, feelings faded indirectly because of the emotional baggage that were brought along with her after that fling and other shit incidents like flirting harmlessly. Before shit happens, she trusted me wholeheartedly. After shit happened, she only trusted half of my words. If she don't put so much trust in me, we cannot communicate. When there is no communications, i don't know about things and eventually, feelings fade. I also felt that being in a new environment, be it work or school, does change people to a certain extent. The way they conceive, manipulate and process ideas of being in a relationship.
In a nutshell, what i really felt is that i had done too much emotional hurt towards her and froze her heart for me, and i should not lament about the way things are now. People like me don't learn...until all is gone. It's basic human tendency. Without trust in a relationship, there is no communication. Even if there is, seldom or rarely will you see any compromisings. And things ended up the way it is today. The festive season is over, and i don't blame her for doing this to me. I am thankful that we broke up before Xmas, because that gave me a chance to relate my emotions to many people whom i just knew during gatherings. At least i know how someone who is neutral, older, more experienced and perhaps, more mature thinks towards my previous relationship. What can't kill me makes me stronger. Definitely this saying is true, because I had matured. I rather be cruel to myself than to drag on. Decisions can be painful, yes, but at least it makes the other party more comfortable. After all when you love someone, all you want is to wish her well and be happy.
At times, I still carry the hope of being together again with her, putting all unhappiness away and putting all my heart and soul into her. Cos she is the one. For life. At the same time, i shall get a life also.
So anyone wants to go blading or cycling tomorrow?
