I am an idiot.

As some may have noticed, especially Twitter followers, I've been recently screwed over by something vaguely resembling feelings. (Because I have none.)

I don't know why I feel like I have to write this out here, but this blog has been such an integral part of my life that I feel that if this chapter is missing, it just wouldn't be right. Or this could mean I'm slowly turning into an old woman with only a blog to go to her grave with. (I don't like cats you see.)

And I can finally write this now because he's now on a plane flying back to where he's currently studying. He's back here for a visit, and we have mutual friends.

Two nights ago, after one of our meet-ups, I felt something I couldn't really put a name to. I didn't know if I was flustered or perplexed or indignant or SOMETHING. I was just confused. When I talked to people, I just kept saying I don't know over and over again.

"No I'm not really sad. It's just ... I don't know."

"Well I guess I don't mind. I don't know."

"HOW MANY STATES IN AMERICA?!?!? I don't know."

Okay I do know. 50.

I had to google that.

Anyway.

It took me a while but then I finally found a name for what I was feeling. I was just ... happy. That's it. I was content and happy. And the reason it was so hard to pinpoint is that I don't think I've felt this in such a long time.

Unadulterated happiness is not this rush you feel when you see a guy, or a constant smile on your face as you walk down the street. Those are ephemeral rushes or sparks of happiness. Pure happiness is when you just feel so at ease, and you know there's no catch or twist in the plot.

But I've never known that feeling before so I just ended up being confused. Like a LAMB. That's right like a LAMB let me repeat that LAMB.

Especially after having ended a long-term relationship so badly I became so hardened by cynicism and my belief that relationships never equal happiness and that there's no such thing as love.

FYI I still don't believe that relationships equal happiness and that there's such a thing as "true love" or "the one". Nothing has changed yet.

But I guess there can be exceptions.

I guess I will laugh a little less at people who think they've found their true love or are happy in relationships now?

HAHAHHAHAHAH YOU SORRY SUCKERS!!!!!

(Sorry had to get that out of the system first.)

(I cannot type a blog post without randomly bursting into some nonsense can I.)

I feel like I'm leading you guys on a blog post to nowhere. Ok let's get to the good part.

He gave good hugs. They were tight, firm, warm and sincere. When he kisses me I like it because he holds me tight and squeezes me. He makes sure to give a good goodbye everytime. (Empty street. 6 in the morning. "What was that, that was such an Asian kiss!" says he.) I like his voice, it's one of the sexiest I've come across in a while. He held my hand once when we were walking, it still makes me smile. We're good friends before anything else. We talk a lot, and we laugh a lot too. I like how we lie in bed and just talk and when I laugh doubly hard he'll hug me tighter. I like how I still think about the nights when I will just lie my head on his lap and watch him talk. Lying on his chest with his arms around me is the best feeling in the world. I tell people about the first time he picked me up, and they get jealous as hell. When I'm with him I literally can't see anyone else. He tells me he feels safe with me. He uses his player moves on me, and I enjoy it. I like how when we're together in public he touches me like he knows he can have me. I like the last thing he said to me before he left. He gave good hugs. They were tight, firm, warm and sincere.

I like how if he sees this and decides to cut off all ties with me RIGHT NOW I wouldn't mind because he already gave me three good weeks and it's not the length of the time that matters when being with people like him. I would have been happy with that one Friday and anything after that was just extensions by chance of good luck.

Sometimes being with a player is not that bad. At least he knows how to treat a woman right. I would choose player over boring person who is loyal but knows nothing about treating women anyday. The real trouble is only when you fall hard for the player but I'm a girl who knows my boundaries so I'll be fine. :) Sometimes I slip and fall, but it doesn't happen often.

He's not the only guy, it would be stupid to say that, but he's definitely one of the few guys in this world who will make me feel this way, and that I want to feel this way about.

He's not going to give me a relationship, or promises of a future, or even a lifetime of memories, but he did make me happy for a while. And that's okay. I wasn't looking for anything three Fridays ago, and I'm still not, but I'm glad I found him. So no, he's not my boyfriend, to put it plainly, he never was, he's just someone very special to me.

It was 3am. I walked down my friend's condo and I saw him waiting for me in the lobby. He was standing next to his black big-ass Nissan, in his plain black t-shirt. I walked over to him, gave him a hug and he kissed me on the lips. Then he tugged playfully at my dress collar and said, "Let's go ok?"

And the rest, they say, is history.

I agree with you. Players do know how to treat girls. Maybe that's why they always get the girls. =)

ky said...

I'm feeling something that starts with 'j' and ends with 'ealousy'. :)

Just joking, I like how you're feeling, keep us updated okay!

P.s. I want a guy too! I'm starting to regret staying single for so long. Maybe I'll go back into the dating game.

the girl said...

I though u looked kinda different in your last post. A softened look, like ego has had a trashing, a lowering of standards. So u decided to do wat all girls who hv a break up la, go tramp herself. It is a complex thingy. You want to get back at him.. show that u can survive and then u go do these stuff thinking that ur enjoying it, but deep inside u know.. it feels like shit anyway and hate him for making u do it but all else is despair..time will heal.

Tinkle said...

this post is best read with a nice song :)
Whos that? Wee Lim or foreign dude?

MeL said...

Wow. I guess this is the one post in your blog that i really like. At least I know you're human now. :)

Tinkle said...

Yeah i agree with MeL. You sound so soft in this post. Like you really are in love. You normally don't write posts like these. This post ROCKS! It made an impact of me. The way you put it, ... .it just conveyed your emotions so fucking well

JennyMa said...

Beautiful! :)

May Zhee,
I'm not a hater of yours neither will i be one on the near or far future. I'm a person you never forgot to remind how much you hated.

But, That doesn't matter. I just wanted to share something with you. I was reading one of your older posts, one that touched me as much as this post did.

I just wondered, where did all that love go?
You and Wee LIm made a perfect couple.

So i wish you well in all that you do. But please, take a moment to read this post.

I am that girl who said yes, when you asked if I could be your girlfriend two years ago.

I am that girl who will start to worry that you are dying and picture how I would struggle to live my laborious life without you if you didn't reply my SMS within 10 minutes.

I am that girl who looks at the couples around me with arrogance and pity, because I know what they have is nowhere near ours.

I am that girl whose so-passionate-can-die dreams came true because her boyfriend paid for the publishing of her first book.

I am that girl who tried to poison you by giving you homemade jellies for your birthday last year.

I am that girl who is very sorry for that murder attempt*.

I am that girl who will look up midway through her Add Maths paper and think about your laugh (so if I fail it’s your fault).

I am that girl who rode stupid scary rides with you in Hong Kong, even though those only served to aggravate my phobia of stupid scary rides.

I am that girl you gave a huge bouquet of flowers to on an ordinary day just because I did something wrong and got unreasonably mad at you.

I am that girl you frequently lie to, because you don’t want me to know the real lengths of the trouble you go to for me.

I am that girl who gave you a giant teddy bear bouquet for Valentine’s this year which you threatened to throw into a nearby dustbin.

I am that girl who made a fist at you when you cracked that stupid joke.

I am that girl who chose footballers over basketballers because you play football. (This has nothing to do with David Beckham. I swear. I SAID I SWEAR! Okay, maybe just a little.)

I am that girl who will never make a good housewife, unless the housewife in question is Gabrielle Solis. I am that same girl who made the poisonous jellies.

I am that girl you love anyway because no matter how bitchy and mean I am, I can never bear to hurt you (or maybe just a little la. No pain no gain).

I am that girl who calls you ‘fatty boyfriend’.

I am that girl who once considered learning to cook and clean for you.

I am that girl who gave up after hearing the sounds of sputtering oil.

I am that girl whose only bad record in school was close proximity with a guy (you you you. So if I don't get into Harvard it's your fault too).

I am that girl you once made three trips to the shopping mall in one day just to satisfy my shopping craves.

I am that girl who loves you, Lew Wee Lim, with every fiber of my being, every fragment of my soul and every, um, organelle of my body (this is what happens when your relationship anniversary clashes with your Biology revisions).

Yup. I am that girl you are celebrating your second-year anniversary with, and you are that guy who has no right to say otherwise because I am here and I am staying for good.

I love you, baby. You complete me.

May Zhee said...

gel, hahhah thanks! Means a lot coming from you :)

Anonymous, ahh that's true! But when you really fall for them that's the trouble because they do that to every girl!

ky, :) sure! Oh being single is ALL ABOUT getting back into the dating game! Or at least trying ;)

the girl, aww :)

Lisa, hahahhah :P

Amelia, it is indeed. Glad you can see the post for what it is.

cheesie, ya la you very smart TALK TO ME MORE ABOUT THIS. I BORED.

worms, AH that's so true! But too bad is Chinese song I don't get the rest.

Anonymous, I went through a break up? O_o nah I don't hate him and I don't feel like shit, not for the reasons you think I do ... but yes time will heal.

Tinkle, eh NOT Wee Lim. Yes I have a good song. Wish You Were by Kate Voegele PERFECT SONG.

Mel, hahahah thanks :)

Tinkle, AWWW THANKS BEST COMPLIMENT EVER :)

Jenny, HAHA HEY YOU :) Thanks!

Anonymous, :) back

Baby Angel, URGH you know what I totally cringed when rereading this I don't know why. I guess people change a lot even after a year. Then I just wanted to keep what I had, a relationship I guess, now the idea repulses me. No more relationships, no more commitment, no more Wee Lim. That supposedly beautiful thing we had for four years ended so badly anyway.

May Zhee said...

I added something in towards the end btw I felt like this post was just hanging there without conclusion. So I fixed it.

Baby Angel said...

Yea, Well.

I dunnoe, i just feel like, maybe there's still a bit of that so called magic left.

And i can't help but think, that people change a lot with time.

Anyhow,

Cheers.
=)

And, P/S : Sometimes, even when you cheat on someone, it's POSSIBLE to love that special someone ur with like hell and STILL cheat on her. It's hard to explain.

Take care.

May Zhee said...

There is no more magic left. :( Even if there is, with this guy I'm talking about in my post, that little bit of magic is gone. I used to think I might end up married to Wee Lim some day despite all we've been through, but trust me when I say that notion has been completely dispelled. There was still that slight chance, even after our break-up, but towards the (real) end he messed it up SO BAD. It got so many of my friends involved, my family, the intensity of emotions and all those other factors ... it just repulsed me so much.

Relationships man. Even after you're out of it you still have to clean up the SHIT it leaves.

I am such a different person, feelings-wise, than I was a year ago, and two years ago, and three.

Baby Angel said...

I hope you're well May Zhee. I really do. Brithday in 8 more days.
19 years old already.

Haha. I sound like an old lady now. I still remember how u were at school wen the Star said you were 17 wen u hadn't exactly turned 17 yet.

Wish you the best.

And trust me, you wouldn't WANT to know who this is. You'd just hate me even more.

And i trust what you say about those feelings. I really do. I hope you'll find someone, who can love you twice as much as WL did.

=)

May Zhee said...

I wanna know who is this!!!! CLUE PLEASE :D

Janey said...

May Zhee,
Wow. Your post's pretty touching. :)
Anyway, was kind of stronger after reading some of your blog posts; don't ask why.
Just had a horrible time after being broken up with by my boyfriend, the one I thought I was going to marry. The reason being? Distance and trust.
Somehow, although I became a hater towards relationships and have refrained myself from hanging out with friends who have boyfriends cos they would you know stick to their boyfriends, I realise..maybe there's a thing as a second chance. There is, since we're like 19 now right? (or going to be)
People change, sadly; but it doesn't matter. All we gotta do is stay strong. My ex and I are keeping in touch now, but it still hurts at times when the ghosts of the pasts came back.
I know how you felt, May Zhee, and I salute you for that!
Maybe you might find this advice useful, maybe not. But, yeah, there is 100% chances of you and Wee Lim to be together, when the right time comes. Who knows, he might change and be someone you've always wanted him to be? Or, you might end up with someone who's really as loyal and fun as you wanted him to be. :)
It's really really hard to move on, but we're all gonna stay strong, right?
Cheers, May Zhee.
