getting away and into massive jams

After many months of internal struggle, I’ve finally made the decision to be closer with BF. I’m not sure if this is a wise choice but it’s something that I have not regret. It’s been 4 months since I stopped working. During this time, I did some traveling to New Zealand, HK and Macau. The rest of the time I have been busy commuting between my city and BF’s. To some extend we’re still maintaining a distance relationship but the distance is much closer now and we get to spend more time with each other rather than restricting our time to just weekend.

This weekend we’re traveling to Jakarta, BF will be there for his work while I will skip and hop around the malls on my own. It will be a weekend getaway from my usual boredom of sitting around at home doing nothing more than watching drama and to start this fabulous weekend, we’re traveling on business class and checking into Grand Hyatt.

spending time together

Any relationship there will be ups and downs. I don’t want my memories of my relationship with BF to consist of only downs, like the previous few posts. Today it shall be something different. Like other couples, we manage to have some normal couple time together. Funny, I know how some couples may frown at the thought that their relationship is just about watching movie, window-shopping and eating. But for us, this is not something that comes by easily.

We started our morning with a discussion of our issues that’s been boggling us; we tried very hard to iron out the creases between us. We both love each other very much but on the other hand, our character makes us struggle to be the alpha male in the relationship. Both unwilling to submit to each other but dominate even though we know we love each other very much. This has of course cause tension between us every now and then, causing our relationship constantly wobble between breaking up and not.

We tried to come to an agreement that he will take care of himself more by going exercise with me, SMS me regardless of time telling me that he reaches home and never raise his voice or say words that I don’t like listening to. Likewise, I will interfere less into his drinking and late night activities that his work will be his priorities for now and I will try to learn to live with that.

After the talk, we manage to catch 2 movies together. We watched the much anticipated Angels and Demons and Monster vs. Alien 3D. I feel when watching movies, our relationship with each other becomes closer every time. I get to hold on to his hand tightly and he will sometimes shower me with kisses while watching movie. It’s really a very sweet time; sometimes I wish the time would stand still at that point.

Even though with a little silent protest from BF, we manage to have soup as dinner. BF is the type that has to have meat and carbo for dinner, so having soup for dinner is not what he will call it as dinner but I guess this is his way of showing that he is going eat the healthy way. Of course I’m happy about it because I want to spend many more years with him in the coming future.

We ended our day with a game of Monopoly we bought earlier. It’s a very good way to spend some quality time together, other than watching movie. Even though I lost in the game but at I’m happy that I’m able to spend some quality time with him.

Long break...

It has been a while since WE last updated our blog, I sincerely apologize especially to my baby lou por zai. It has been a crazy time at work for me - bottomless pile of work to follow-up, back to back meetings, stupid clients, and above all that - the feeling of needing to justify my new position (new pay)

On top of office work, my own personal 'vested interest' is taking up the remainder of my time. Wish me luck that i cash out on it. It will be quite 'lucrative' if you know what i mean hehe.

Now back to the unblogged weeks.

Was in Indonesia doing some training, catching up with some people, developing my network to hopefully something fruitful. I left Indonesia one day before the quake, on september 11th. May god bless those people affected and bring them some relief. *sigh* We are so lucky yet we sometime's complain (anyways that another story for another day)

The weekend after that, i was in my babies hometown. Walked into the door with 2 boxes of mooncakes (nice to see not nice to eat) sorry darling. *muakz*. I had my favourite beef noodle's, and some 'thunder' rice (which doesn't taste too bad *smilez* - acquired taste hehe). Drove my baby to the bus station in which i really really did NOT WANT MY BABY TO LEAVE MY SIDE. *sigh* I a so in love with my darling...

The following weekend, am down in Singapore to help my darling shift into her new place. Didn't do much, just managed the boxes and checklisted everything. The movers did the bulk of the work very professionally i might add (minor hiccups with a lost screw BUT all was good). The room is bigger than her previous room and a much bigger window (Quite nice) BUT no aircond =( hahahahahaha.... anyways all is good and i feel very safe with my baby in this new place. Lets just say that area is well protected - thanks to a very hardy VVVIP.

An update on our relationship. It is developing nicely and we are still so very much in love. I am falling deeper and deeper for my girl day by day.

MY girls big birthday day is coming up, i am cracking my head to do many many nice things for her to make her happy. I just love seeing her smile and happy. *muakz* I really do not know what i have lined up yet darling but i really hope you will like whatever i do and plan.

Forever and ever yours,
Lou Kung Zai

room hunter on the loose...

Boyfriend came to spend the weekend with me on the pretext of coming here on a business trip to work on, yet another pitch. Over the weekend we did some room hunting since the current apartment is going to be sold. I wish so much that the place we’re hunting is the place we are living together.

We visited 2 places so far; the first is a common room that is right opposite an mrt station. This unit is to be shared with 2 other Thai people. This might be my first time to share place with foreigners. The part I love most about the room, is it has a huge full length mirror with a huge cupboard for my stuff and since the unit is a 22nd floor, it is actually quite windy, no need for air-con but I think might be hard for boyfriend.

My main criteria when it comes to choosing a place to live is this place has to be very near mrt station. I know how much a pain it can cause if I have to walk very far. With the budget that I have, I suppose I should be able to find a place that is near mrt station but perhaps not a master room with own toilet. I guess I can do away with the private toilet but definitely can’t live far from mrt station.

Then the 2nd place we went is supposedly 7 minutes away, according to the lady I spoken on the phone, from the nearest mrt station but to our horror when we reached, we walked a 15 minutes sweaty walk. At least that’s what I saw it happened on poor boyfriend. He was soaked in sweat from head to toe and the apartment seems a little unpleasant to our likings. First there was a stench in the house then the actual owner of the house sleeps in the living room and the unit is much too small to my comfort. I noticed the people in that area seems to be some aging community since there were 2 ongoing funerals side by side the road.

Based on these 2 rooms I viewed, I think we both prefer the first room. Due to its convenience and our first impression of the places, think we might just go for the first room we went. I’ve just conveyed my interest to the Thai lady over the phone, going to put pay my down payment soon.

Wish me luck ;)
