Cucumbers & Pickles

Woke up to this today and it simply sent tears rolling down my cheeks uncontrollably...

Perhaps it's the fact that we have been spending practically almost every minute while we're awake together, our 2 months together felt like 2 years (okay, that's a bit exaggerating), but it definitely felt like we had been together for a long time. Then again, perhaps it's how trying these 2 months had been, all the stress from the various final assignments and exams... But I think we pulled through it well and there's no doubt that it bonded us even closer together.

I believe I can speak for her as well that falling in love with each other had been the most unexpected thing for us. Also, having come from two very different backgrounds meant that we have a lot of things to learn about each other, which of course, requires tremendous amount of mutual understanding. Just last evening we were discussing about how different friends and networks are formed in Singapore and Korea, which no doubt formed the foundation and framework of our attitudes and decisions today. In doing that, we learnt so much from each other and we were able to see things from "the other person's perspective". There were no arguments, no debates, just a standard discussion. Seriously, how cool is that?!

So this has led us to believe that we really clicked very well. Look, she hates cucumbers (it's probably the only vegetable thing she doesn't eat) but eats pickles while I hate pickles (one of the many things I loath to consume) and eats cucumbers. Don't you think that's quite a match? Meanwhile, secretly I believe we kinda like the same colors for clothes, just that I can't wear the colors she likes 'cos I'm too dark... Haha!

I'm leaving for Japan in 5 days (including today) and because my bloody 2.5G iPhone doesn't work in Japan, I think I'm going to die from the lack of contact from her. My Japan trip will be our first mini-test before she returns to Korea for a month and before we part for another 4 months when I come back for Hons (if I get it). It's going to be emotionally tough I think but I have faith that we'd pull though fine and emerge EVEN stronger than before.

So anyway, happy 2nd anniversary Hyeyoung. Thank you for everything and more importantly, for the wonderful surprise this morning.
