Letting go

Being together for 3 years, I've learnt many things from our relationship. Everytime I'm out, i see little things that reminds me of her. I've changed my views on many things and learn to accept and embrace life as it is as well.


Somethings never change, but some habits do. Somethings reminds me of you, it brings both good and bad memories.


1) I never drink tea, not a sip, even at chinese restaurants, i only take cold water and nothing else. I hated the tea smell, the bland puke-inducing taste. At Prata shops, i only order iced milo. Then she showed me iced teh cino. Made me drink tea at restaurants and i grudually accpeted it and now i am a regular tea drinker.


2) Chicken wings from Ang Mo Kio Ave 4. Every time I eat this, I'll lick the crumbs and oil off my fingers kind of like the way you do, your trademark chicken wing eating style really gets me smiling. Everytime I go to that damn stall, I think of you and sadness overwhelms me.


3) I've learnt to appreciate designer goods. One word - Prada.


4) I could never eat Spicy food. Not at all, even till now, you merely increased my threashold.

5) Pool Junction at Middle Road. I've learnt to play pool at a classier place, not the old dingy AMK place.

6) I can live with simple hawker food and cheap stuff. I've learnt to appreciate the finer life, finer dining and finer food.

7) We explored many places for night supper together, grew fat together, and with this, i'll take the knowledge of the existance of these places with me. Xin Wang HK Cafe, Ice Cube at serangoon gardens.

8) I'm not exactly a pet guy but I've learnt to love a dog as much as I've loved you. When i fell in love with you, i fell in love with two. And i really do enjoy going to Pet Centre at Serangoon Gardens for Vodka's haircut and clothes shopping at Great World City.

9) I've learnt to control my temper, now i'm much milder and more in control of the way i present myself.

10) I've learnt to be patient, very very patient in a relationship.

11) I've learnt how to love someone wholeheartedly and really mean it.

12) I've learnt how to be at ease with your family.

13) I've learnt that people change because of ambition, it might turn out to be good, might turn out the other way, unfortunately it went wrong.

14) I've learnt that actually sleeping in with someone you love is the most wonderful thing on earth.

15) I've learnt routine can't get too settled in since we're not married, constant change and refreshing ideas are needed to make things work.

16) I've learnt loving someone isn't easy

17) I've learnt to view things from a more mature point of view.

18) I've learnt that i actually love to travel alot, much more than i thought, and all the more better if its with you.

19) I've learnt that there are 90% lies and 10% truth in a relationship, but regretfully didn't treasure the 10% truth and chose to bask in the lies.

20) I've learnt how much one person can affect another. The hard way.

I've learnt many things in this relationship. For that i'm thankful not only to her but to the people who helped and showed concern along the way. I've never regretted going into this relationship and if i could choose again, i'd go through it again but in a better way to sustain and make things better. But as for now, i'm learning one last thing - Letting go.
