This post is the first one that is written on my newly upgraded machine.
Well, we've talked extensively already, since the rule has been broken, so I don't really know what else to write anymore.
But still, thank you very much for this week. I think it has really allowed me to see what is important and crucial in this relationship. All the small things that we used to enjoy, and which were drowned out by the other 'big' things that we wanted to add on.
Missing you for a week (actually it is less than that) is really something. I don't know if we should do this often, but it certainly did a lot of good for a couple who has been together long enough to start forgetting the little roots that began it all in the first place.
Anyway, I am glad this all worked out for the both of us.
You must be asleep now. I hope this cheers you when you see it in the morning.

Hour 97
Typing this at my cousin's place right now.
We are having an LOTRO party.
I wonder how your day has been. You know, I was so touched when I saw your sister's forwarded message today. I just wanted so much to break our rules and send you a message. When I was at school, I wanted to break the rules again to come find you. And I saw you on LOTRO just now as well, and I wanted to just come take a look at how you are doing.
But rules are rules. And I can see how this is doing good for the both of us. It's the little things now that brighten up my day, like a Tweet on Twitter, or a little message passed through a third party. I really begin to appreciate all these things so much more now.
Been staring at our pictures on my iPad too. :)
I hope you like these tiny messages in place of a phone call.
Anyway, good night for now. I can't wait to see you soon. Soon. So, so, soon. I hope you have good night's sleep.

Hour 73
How was YCG?
I remember you will ask me that every Wednesday. And I missed that today.
Feels so weird, isn't it? Missing all the small things?
Been working on my FYP today. Gotta hand in a draft tomorrow. Was just kinda hoping that I would get some sort of text from you or something, although that would have broken the rules.
Didn't happen. Of course. But that's entirely fine, because really, I wouldn't want us to break the rules.
I wonder how it is all going on the other side. I have no idea.
Good night anyway.

Hour 49
I'm singing a song to myself, because you were the only person who would listen to me sing.
I wonder if you know that I miss you. And I wonder if you miss me.
I scour the internet for any clue, any mention, any sort of... missing.
I wonder how your day has been. It's your only off-day of the week, and hopefully it has been pretty fruitful.
I hope you have a good night's rest. It is a blessing to have someone you can say good night to and to say good night in return to you.
It is becoming clear now. I truly... yes, I do.

Hour 25
It's been a day.
Unbelievable, isn't it? How much such a short amount of time can accomplish?
I find myself fishing out my phone constantly today, wondering if I would catch a message from you or something. I check Twitter, Facebook, blogs, wondering how you are doing.
I guess technology is both a bane and a boon. It connects people together, and sometimes it connects people together too much. Technology makes things like writing letters and notes and what not seem obsolete, because it practically allows two people to constantly be talking to each other. It makes people miss each other less.
I guess this is good for us. It makes us realize the things we have taken for granted. It makes us, or at least me, miss each other (you) so much more.

Hour 1
It's only been the first hour and already I am starting to miss you.
I've just been surfing around the net, wondering if you will send me any sort of message, give me any sort of indication about how you feel about all this. I thought, maybe, just maybe you will send me a message, or leave a note somewhere for me to say that, ya, something.
Absence is really something, isn't it? It makes you realize the smallest things in your life that you take for granted.
I miss wishing you a good night, and telling you that I love you.
It's these small things that matter. But we sometimes just don't see their significance, until we stop doing them.
Just like our limbs.
But you are more important than any of my limbs.
I miss you. And I love you. And I wish you will have a good night's rest even though you drank a tiny sip of my cafe latte just now.

a dream
Well I had a dream recently. I don't know where it came from, but it had one of these time-travel-defy-logic-makes-no-sense kind of narrative, which is usually very common in dreams. Since when are dreams logical, right? I found it kind of weird, and I actually like how everything gets all tied up together into a mess. So I wrote it down.
I spruced it up a little, added in names, dates and other details so that it's at least understandable, unlike dreams. So here goes. I call it The Monk and The Girl.
21 February 2001
NEWSFLASH: Girl, Daisy Rich, jumps to her death at West Town University where she studies. Friends say they have no idea why she did that, as she was a cheerful girl with no history of depression or any problems in life.
Her boyfriend, Terrence Andrews, was so heartbroken that he decided not to fall in love ever again and became a monk.
21 February 2011
Terrence meets Daisy. They spent an entire night talking about life and philosophy, and falls in love with each other. However, Terrence is unable to be with her as he is a monk.
They go separate ways.
As they sleep, both of them can’t stop thinking about each other. They wished in their hearts that Terrence had not become a monk. They wished that they could do something to change the events that led to
Terrence becoming a monk. Their wishes were granted.
They were both transported back to 21 February 2001.
21 February 2001
West Town University – Terrence is looking for Daisy Rich. He sees her, laughing and smiling with her friends. He wanted to go up to her and talk to her, just as they will do 10 years from now. But he remembers – Daisy from 10 years ago does not know him. He walks away quickly.
Daisy Rich sees Terrence. She remembers what she came back to 2001 to do – to tell him not to become a monk. But Terrence is walking away now. She chases him.
Terrence sees Daisy chasing after him. He is afraid. He does not know what to do. He jumps off a ledge, dropping nearly 100m to the ground. But he lands safely, because he is a monk.
Daisy sees him jumping off the ledge. She hesitates. But she does not want to lose sight of Terrence now.
She takes after him. She steps off the ledge. She jumps. But she is not a monk.
It was a long fall to the ground.
Terrence looks up and sees Daisy falling. He jumps towards her in martial arts style, got her in his arms and safely drops to the ground.
