Sorry for the super long hiatus. We're still around, just very busy as of late since my last post here. Well in a month, it'll be our 5th year anniversary. DD and I have booked our tickets for Aust today, for him to take a nice long break, which he has been deprived of, since last year and for me to see my family whom I missed very dearly. And to escape this really terrible heat! >_< DD has some plans for us and I do too so I'm just racking ideas on how to make the Big 5 a really memorable celebration.
As I've said so many times before here, I've no idea how we got this far but we're loving every moment of this ride. Although we bicker like cats and dogs at times, because we're just that different in certain aspects of our characters, somehow at the end of the day, love comes to the rescue and we work it out, talk it over and soften up and it all ends with a begrudging punch on the arm, a soft grumble and then a lil smile. Against all odds, we're gonna make it. ^^
Let's see, what happened in April......
Since my last update, DD and I also ended up playing quite alot of games together and I'm training under him in some cases *dodges his lectures*. We're now part of a team too, as one of our many side projects (as if we're not already overwhelmed with other interests!), with lotsa exciting opportunities ahead and there'll be plenty of room for expansion into other areas, if we stick together and things go as planned. We got featured in a short write-up after a weekend tourney at Funan, on Focus Play, which we were all really happy about. The guys are fun to be around, and I'm actually a team manager of the lot of them, which makes the entire idea even more hilarious.
Here's some quick piccies of us and the team I put up on my other blog:
I was busy watching inauguration Mass for the new Pope on the large screen and the other time our game. *lol* I had the annoyed look coz the kid managed to get past our "child minders" man-handling kids out of the way (*argh* we actually encountered a few who came and press buttons and the keys in the midst of a game) to leave us in peace and this kid was asking like a billion questions and trying to squeeze. Sorry I don't have much patience for kids, unless they're my cousins. And can you imagine they actually retorted to the "minders", "how come she can sit there?" and pointed to me. Honestly, when I was a child, I highly doubt I dare answer back to these big tall korkors, much less push them out of the way. Ren wasn't exactly looking very obliging and friendly either and told me to get rid of the kid in the midst of the competition. *muahahahaha*
Before FsK3 was born, we spent alot of the time meeting up, playing games and having discussions and having suppers 'til 2am and going home to meet each other on the servers to continue gaming. As the interview mentioned, the guys are bent on leaving the unhappy past behind, though granted it's 5 long years of memories and brotherhood they had to let go of, in order to move on and grow in another positive direction. As for us, it's a chance to get back to something we both let go previously for the sake of careers, so this is like a memory trip. Like yesterday, we met up with Bloody and Ize to handover a PC, and after that we just sat around chatting, relaxing in air-conditioned comfort *lol* to avoid the heat.
Both me and DD are still sick and we lost our voices after the weekend actually. He got sick nursing me back to health coz I spent an entire weekend rolling around in bed, burning a fever. He came over to keep me company and got me food and med and watched me sleep. *beams*
We bidded Emmy goodbye as she left for Sydney to start a new life for now. Without her, Ren may not have asked me out so quickly right after we met *lol* and I got the truth out of him once. He told me he thought I'd never look at him and probably won't consider someone like him so her constant persuasion encouraged him to take the first step.
I still remembered when we were all working together at CPL and she'd try to let me off for a break so us both can grab dinner together when we all had to stay in late. And how she kept egging him on, coz I quote she said "she's single, you're single, so what's the problem?". DD used to leave his clothes at the office so he could change out of his NS uniform to take me out and we'd go Raffles City usually. I also remembered Ren was given verbal warning once for PDA in the office, coz he was always seen hugging me *giggles*. This post just reminded me of his long face when he came out of the boss' office.
Anyway, when I was tired and grumpy after a long day at work, and he got very disappointed I didn't want to go out but instead go straight home, she would coax me into dinner and movies.
In a very big way, we owe it to her what we have today. She was also there for me to confront the third party, lifted me up when I despaired and wanted to give up, brought me over to his house on his birthday just so I could catch a precious glimpse of him (at that time, a time I call the dark age of our relationship, I missed him badly but didn't want to show it, me being full of pride, and we haven't seen each other in months) and talk. And each and everytime, something came up that made me doubt this relationship and my choice, she was there to affirm and to let me know I wasn't insane and this was worth fighting for. So many many many many other things she did for the both of us that I simply can't list in the little space here. They've been stored in my heart and my head for keepsakes forever.
DD came up with the sweetest idea to get Em a watch with engraving. So we decided on a DKNY bracelet watch and behind it, the words "Frens 4 Ever D&A" were etched. We took her out for a farewell dinner with my cuz at our fave Ma Maison and she had the chance to meet our new adopted piggie Munchie.
Anyway, that's all for me tonight. We'll still be busy building new memories together. So stay tuned. :)
