五年天
Saturday, January 28, 2006
Come 31st January, it will be my 5th anniversary with Zi. 5 years is a pretty long time. That's almost a quarter of all my life. Almost. And 45 years from now, maybe I can tell you that I've been with her nearly all my life. But that's getting ahead of myself. Right now all I can say is that I've found happiness (At least I think I have) and hopefully it doesn't run away from me. =)
**Mushiness Alert**
Ger, I just want to thank you for all that you've done for me, for being there for me all the time and all the little things that you do. I love you.. For as long as love will last and may love last an eternity.
**End Mushiness**
Now to all my friends who are eyeing someone or hoping to meet someone, best of luck! I'm sure that significant other probably likes you as well, just take it slow though. You see the thing is I'm friggin` cool and sexy and so if you're my friend, then by association, you're at least almost as cool and sexy as me and that in turn means that you're probably a highly sought after mark in the dating game. Huzzah! And if you're hoping to meet someone, take your time, you've got a whole lot options and remember! You're almost as cool and sexy as me. Repeat that to yourself, "I'm almost as cool as sexy as Vincent." Say it 3 times every morning and 3 times every night.
How did we wind up together? Well, with Jiazi, it was love at first sight and I knew at once Yea right. And I shit 5 carat diamonds too. She hated me when we met. (I never let her forget it) Why the hate? Well I think back then I kinda liked someone she hated hence by association (see above) I must be a spas too. Thing was I've always liked her as a person, cheerful and bubbly and everything. So in Sec 4, our form teacher decided that, maybe, just maybe, Zi was abit TOO cheerful and bubbly with her friends so she ought to sit at the back with all the guys in order to reduce her.. effervescence. At that time I was thinking, "Well that's nice. Zi's a nice girl and she seems quite traumatized, I'll be nice and talk to her. Get to know her better. Help her along this rough period in her life(Forceful relocation was a huge thing back in the 1990s. Very ugly at that time) Well well well, who'd have though that she was thinking, "Oh my God. I'm stuck back here with losers like VINCENT and WEELENG!" Okay maybe not Weeleng. Just me. Weeleng hated you back then though.
We became good friends during the O'lvl preparations. Just one day, we were up on IRC and it was like "God I'm so bored! You too? Let's go out for a movie. Screw studying." We watched "Gossip." After that we talked on the phone alot, Irc-ed abit, ICQ-ed too. We became truly good friends. Those platonic kinds. I was confused back then, I didn't think I liked her. But eventually one day, at one moment when we were alone together, realization struck and we kind of had our first kiss. And to me, I was like "Woah. What the hell is going on? Friends don't do that!" In retrospect I guess it was quite obvious that we were falling for each other and I think people around us knew. I think I was one of the last few people to find out about us though. When we went steady (Yes I choose to use such tacky language because I think its funny) it was the end of Secondary School and Zi was starting on her 1st 3 months in SRJC.
What the future holds for us? I have no idea. But hopefully, just hopefully, the search is over and all that remains is circumstances to permit us to tie the knot. I.e Career Finance Shotgun. Kidding about the last one. My mizuage is still up for grabs.
To all my friends, I hope that you find happiness in whatever way you perceive happiness to be. And if you find someone you want to hold on to, remember, it's as much about finding the right person as putting in a hell alot of effort to make things work. Life isn't like a fairy tale and God knows that we put in alot of effort. Some days more than others. Otherwise, a Happy Chinese New Year to all my friends and to my Gerger, Happy 五年天！
