The Anniversary

God. It’s been a year since I’m back. Fuck. That’s fast. Didn’t I just twirl my big fat arse at Old Compton St, wearing my super fab Fabris Lane sunnies and plus-size jeans , like 4 days ago? Sigh … if only....

Yeah, I still miss Brit a lot. The greasy breakfast. The menstrual weather. The smell of council estates ( trust me, you can smell ‘em buildings. I kid you not. ) and of course, it’s scally residents. Omg. The scally men. Pound-me-hard look. Nasty. And often pasty. Omg, what’s there not to like ?

Anyway, so yeah…I’ve been back for a year now. And inevitably, there’s a report card to be submitted.

So how did the one year fare?

Well… it wasn’t smooth, that’s for sure. New environment. New job. New mode of relationship. New this and that. And like everything new, unfortunately, it’s not always good and fey. Lots of adjustment and compromises were made and wailed at. And not to mention heaps of frustrations and motel bills. Starting all over again was tough but being in a long distance relationship is even tougher.

Certainly ain’t an easy stroll. Admittedly, there were times where I was so overwhelmed by the whole situation, tempted to just raise the white flag and call it a day. Cried a bucket and a half. Kaput and all.

Oh come on ! Before you lots brandished me as a weak oriental doormat, cut me some slacks here, okay ... I'm only a ghey, you see. Drama is in my blood, for pete sake.

Oh well, I'm digressing again. Anyway, having bitched all that jazz, well, I’m glad that I managed to drag both my tits to the one year mark with minimum bruises.

Hey, at least I survived.

And as much as I want to credit my survival solely on meself, I can't. For I realized that, well … running alone is alright. But strolling beramai-ramai is way better.

Hence, here’s a toast to the folks that has willingly or unwillingly strut along with me during those bleak time of mine ( *insert drama episodes here* ). Without you lots, I probably would have jumped into that stinking mining pond in my fiery chilli red cheongsam during one of those roadblocks. Seriously.

So, fittingly, this entry is for you lots. Happy Anniversary, folks !
