The Love Story

Our love story was never really that grand. Never dramatic. It happened very quickly in just span of weeks after we first met. However, we do have some parallel stories that made us believe we are God's gift to each other.

Floydie went here in Singapore last 2012 because he wanted to escape the problem he intentionally created. He remained single until he met me. Although, he dated other girls they never really made him contented.

It was June 2014, when I went here in Singapore to work and to follow my ex-boyfriend. But things didn't end well, or so I thought. I chose to remain single until I met Floyd.

We met each other thru my college schoolmate, Khai. It was one dull April morning, when Khai messaged me and asked me if I have a boyfriend. I answered none and wondered why she was asking. She told me she wanted me to meet someone. It was actually kind of surprising since Khai and I don't really belong to the same group of friends. So, I really thought the 'referral' thing was really awkward and funny. But I do trust Khai, as she is one of the smartest in our batch and I don't think she belongs to a networking company. Haha! I said 'Sure! No problem! I'll meet your friend.' Then she told me that he will ask him to add me in Facebook. I said, 'Sure'. That was it.

It all started with me being bold to date this individual whom I didn't even know any background except for his Facebook profile picture. After some exchange of messages, he invited me to watch Avengers in Bugis.

It was a rainy Tuesday of April 28, 2015 when we first met. He was standing in front of Citibank MRT Bugis Station waiting for me. He never told me what he looked like. Well, mostly because there is already Facebook where I can actually based what he looks like. I came up to him. I will never forget the surprised looked on his face when he saw me. My impression of him was that he looks arrogant and a little bit of a jerk. Who would knew at that time two soulmates met each other? Did the sky know? Did he know? Did I know? I didn't. All I knew was that I was actually hesitant to go for that date because I hadn't met him personally and he wasn't really my type. So, my initial plan was to be friends with the man I was dating. Just friendship.

So for the 2nd date, he asked me if I wanted to go pub crawl with him and his friends. When he said friends, I actually thought just two friends of him. I said yes I will go. It was the first of May and I went out to treat my friends in church before going out with him. Then, suddenly, I had a bad case of LBM. I was supposed to cancel our date and told him to just go with his friends. But after, an hour my stomach got relieved but I warned him that my stomach was not in it's best condition because I just had LBM. Wala ng hiya hiya eh sa nagtatae talaga ako nun eh! Good thing, my LBM did not ruin our second date. So I went to Raffles to meet him and I got surprised because he was actually with his barkada. I'm not really used with big crowds so I was panicking because all of a sudden I had to socialize.

Then, after so many rounds of Jagerbomb and beers, we started warming up to each other. Look at this photos:

After that night, the rest was history. Chos! I thought he was just a fling. It turns out he is so much more. We had many other dates after that night. Since then I saw him in a different light other than the friendship. I started seeing him as someone with potentials. ;) Haha!

One of my memorable dates with him was at Parkroyal at Pickering. It was a very hot date with him. I don't want to divulge with the story but it was then that I realized how we are so much alike.

ASG... lolz.

We had so many dates and hot dates ;) after that but the day May 23, 2015 was the day we became exclusive with each other. I was actually thinking it was just a fling, or worst a joke. I was asking him, 'Are we or aren't we?' He will answer with, 'We are!' I really thought it was a fling. A confirmation of a fling. So I didn't really take it seriously at first. Until he told me, he was dead serious. I can't back out. It is all because I know deep inside what we share was more than just a fling. It is love. It wasn't just fueled with oxytocin kind of addiction. It was happiness. Genuine happiness when I'm with him. I feel relax. I know he feels the same way, too. Indeed, your heart will know when it's home.
