Unconventional Love Story

Almost 21+ years of singlehood, as of 31st July 2008, I finally got attached. Khaiyuen is the unlucky guy.

My very first memories of him went as far back as when we were both 13 years old, naive and playful. He was this guy in class whom always got paired up with this other girl he least wanted to be paired up with. He took it very well, and laughed it off. I find that intriguing and somewhat attractive. KY claims he had a crush on me in Secondary One. Thereafter, vague memories of my sitting partner, Royston, devising plans on letting KY in on an imaginary secret admirer, we named her and even gave her an email account. Lol. For many years, KY isn’t sure of this admirer’s authenticity. Hohoho.

Our class had several class outings with our very young and pretty relief science teachers. Pasir Ris Park (or was it East Coast Park) was one outing that stood out in my memory. Lol. On till upper secondary, there became less interaction, and occasional bump-into-each-other along the corridors, and several combine classes together of which I was quite invisible. 

I then disappeared somewhere for a couple of years, with occasional MSN and phone calls back. Although we didn’t have much to remember by then, we have new memories to create.

So ever since I came back, we went mostly in various different groups for movies, Karaoke (too many to remember), had people linking/pairing both of us up, played Basketball, played about two whole sets of Mahjong (one of which I was big winner, and the other I was big-time loser), sneaked in Dblo and leaving super early before the crowds, game cafes, prank calls, twice his visits to NTU, Sentosa, birthday parties, etc. Come to think of it, we hung out quite alot of times with mutual friends. Even when KY wasn’t physically around, he has somewhat or rather crept in our group outings. Notably, Toilet Gang and I held a competition to see who could best imitate his pictures. LOL. Oh another time, his gang (they named themselves Agua Pella, which you can all assume “extreme gayness” connotation) and myself played badminton and had lunch together, afterwhich we were on the verge of going to his house for a very gay pillow fight. All in all, I have to say that KY is good-natured, and good fun. I feel very happy whenever he’s around, although we quarrel quite alot!

I remember mostly making fun of him all the time, but he has unintentionally been nice to me. If one were to ask me what sparked this unforeseen, unpredictable relationship, I would probably have to attribute it to a) Mahjong of which KY paid for my big losses: I felt a sudden rush of emotions constituting of gratitude and possibilities of KY liking me, thereby I have requited; b) After a karaoke outing, I linked his arm with mine to annoy him, and as I forced my arm in, I began to like the feeling of his linked arms with mine. I guess I fell in love.

Thereafter, we had several one on one outings, of which is too many to illustrate here. But here’s a sneak preview! After which we STILL quarrel alot. He gives me lots of headaches, but many sweet moments as well. I guess the trend for us is: Quarrel every Monday, make up every Friday.

I guess there’s never lack of laughter when we are both on our prowess! He is mine, and I am his. No more fickleness, greater learning, and more growing up to do! Oh one more thing, We can sweep sushi buffet plates clean together !
