So I was hoping to stay with friends while I’m back in Singapore, but that doesn’t look like it will happen anymore. Unfortunately in my infinite wisdom I neglected to make very many friends with guys while I was on exchange. Apparently my girl friends’ boyfriends don’t really appreciate them offering to have me stay over.
How frustrating. Now this trip will cost an extra $500 or so. Oh well, I already booked the hostel. Now let’s just hope this trip is worth it at the new price point.
I miss:
- Jessie
- Sophie
- Daisy
- Radiah
- Mandy
- Chelsea
- Florence
- Hawker Uncles
- Amanda
- Jenni
- Mark
Maybe this time I will actually get the opportunity to meet some other people with whom I’m now friends (Eugene). See you all soon!
PS: Apparently my company is looking for permanent transfers over there. If the salary is right, I may consider it. Just a heads up.
There are signs of its passing in the way the leaves turn colours, and the wind carries a chill. Time passes and we are its helpless victims, caught in its endless trek toward the future. Time can be interesting in the way that it passes. Sometimes it can pass quickly, as if in the blink of an eye. Other times it can pass slowly, dragging on for what may seem like ages.
It has been 6 months since I left Singapore. Yet I can remember the sights and smells as clearly as if it was yesterday. I miss the little country and all of its intricacies. In the hopes of going back, I have plans to book a flight in early February for 10 days. I think it should be a good chance to visit with some of my friends and catch up on their lives. It should also give me an opportunity to meet Florence’s family, and hopefully introduce some of you to her.
I’m excited for December, when she plans to come to Canada, and I am excited for February. We have been together for 3 months now, since August. In that time we have spent more than 100 hours on the phone, have more than 45mb of MSN and Skype messages in history, and have sent several thousand SMS messages. I can’t wait until December 19th; it is only 6 weeks away.
My girl is off to Manila for 4 days. Hopefully she stays safe and has a good time. I’d like to get out there someday. A good friend of mine’s dad is the Canadian Ambassador to the Philippines, so I’m sure I could get some preferential treatment of a soft.
Ah well, here is to waiting until she gets back.

Some of you have asked me why I haven’t written anything in a while. I deign to tell you that my internet has not been the most responsive of late while at work, and that my time has been otherwise occupied with one very special lady from Singapore. Further to that, there has really not been much of note that has transpired in my life of late. I have been heading to the office and working as is typical, and I have been completing some fairly good work.
I attended a dinner with some Singaporean friends of mine a couple of weeks ago and it was pretty entertaining. Their surprise at seeing a Canadian speaking in Singlish and with such breadth of knowledge of their country was palpable. I suppose most of that comes from speaking so often with my wonderful girlfriend. Her Singlish is really quite developed and most assuredly entertaining.
I’m still in anticipatory bliss over my impending trip to Singapore this coming February. I’m also very excited for Florence’s trip to Canada on December 19th. I’ve been working longer hours at work, and my project manager (boss) has agreed that I can have all of the time off in December that I want while she is down, so long as everything is completed beforehand. It really is an agreeable arrangement, as he mentioned that he may also take the time off since I will have completed all of our work already.
In any event, I apologize for the lack of updates, and I do hope that things can pick up as life becomes more interesting. For know, know that I am happy with my Li Shia and that all is well with the world. There are certain darker issues intersperced throughout, but those are things that I have to deal with once I am back in Singapore. There is a certain someone that deserves some dire treatment indeed from this French Canadian.
I never break promises to anyone. She will never break her promises to me. This means that we will be together. Never doubt, never give up. Let love guide you and fill your heart.
That’s what I have done, and it will not set me wrong. I persevere through any troubles that arise, and in the end the outcome is wonderful. With every passing day I learn more, and I care about you more. You are mine. <3

So things still seem to be improving. I now have less cause to worry about anyone hurting or harming her in any way, and I feel much more secure in our relationship due to recent developments. I won’t elaborate here due to privacy, but know that things are well, and I am unwaveringly committed to seeing this through.
I’m sure I will have a lot to write about come January. Then when I return in February, well, I think it may be life-changing. I hope so anyway, though only time will tell. I feel good, I feel happy, I feel secure, and I feel loved. What more could I need?

As some or many of you must know by now, I am currently seeing someone. I find that the level of communication that her and I have is absolutely fantastic. Communication is fundamental to a relationship, and ours is frequent and involved. We are able to discuss the issues or troubles that we may have with situations, and we are always able to resolve things. I think that this brings us closer together as we learn more and more about the other.
One thing is for certain, and that is the fact that I am completely and utterly happy when I am with her. This spills over to the rest of my life, and I perform better and am more social at work, and I am more caring toward my friends when they need me.
You… are amazing. Thank you for making me so happy.
What makes me really happy is getting into work and reading my e-mail, only to find that there are some of the most beautiful messages written to me.
<3
I would repost them here, but they’re private, and for me only.
Together.
There is something that I might have lost. Can anyone help me get it back?
