Lingy gone into hiding

End of Jan 2019

It had been a month of grieving, mourning. I'm still tearing from time to time. 

Learning to accept E is no longer in my life. Learning not to check how he is. Learning to let go. Learning to be by myself. 

Eating lesser, working out more. I've lost 6-7kg and am able to fit in those Abercrombie shorts, again. It feels good to be lighter, more agile. The 3.6km runs are seemingly manageable now, I'm pushing myself for 4.2 and 4.8km. I'm taking unlimited Muay Thai sessions, so I'll be in class for 2-3 times a week. I find the classes takes my mind off him, at least during the fights. Undeniably in my subconscious, I was *hoping* to see him there. But there is a good chance he never would, to avoid any contact with me. He could have found another place for MMA or alternative sport with Pisces. 

I made a promise to myself that I should love myself this way. To continue exercise, maintain a healthy weight and body. To live for myself. I often fall head over heels for someone and neglect myself. For now, I am not prepared to love or be loved. If I am ever loved by another, it will be a blessing.

Turning to thoughtcatalogue

Thoughtcatalogue has good articles on relationships, breakups, moving on. Lashed out facts I’m ashamed to face.

Karmic relationship. I find karmic more apt between us than the toxic, named by E.

I’m curious, if Pisces lady will end up like me someday, in future. I have a hunch she’d do better.

STOP IT

I have to stop looking at/for him. It only brings me anxiety and questions to where, why, what, how he is there.

STOP IT.

Fear swallows you and turns you into something you are not. Because you are fearful of losing, you grip tighter and tighter, so it wouldn’t weave through your fingers. And because of my competitive nature, I will not allow myself to lose. I’ll fight harder to hold onto what I have. It leads to a sad story where everyone loses. I wished for someone to understand and know how to manage me. At times, I’m so caught up with what I’m chasing, I’m losing myself.

Keep me busy

I wished work had been more busy. Then I wouldn’t have time to think of E.

There is a part of me lost somewhere.

Being a realist in your lifestyle

Your earning capability dictates your choice of lifestyle. You could be earning 10.000 and spending 8,000, because you have to support your car, housing, meals at restaurants, super data mobile plans. Envious of many, truth told to none. Or you could be earning 5000, and spending 2000, commute by public, dine at food centers / home-cooked. A humble way of life, but you have all the securities of not having any bad debt or credit ratings.

I can afford a car, if I wanted. A new Toyota Corolla that is slightly over 90,000, sure, cash terms in full. The maintenance fees works out about 2,000 a month. Yes, I can survive and make do with lesser savings. I’d rather not.  It’s prudent to have savings to fall back on.

Point is, are you able to support the lifestyle you want, comfortably? Lavish life but struggle through paycheck to paycheck.

Bidding goodbye to E mom

Closure.

It is only appropriate for me to bid goodbye to the family. I have been introduced, lived together briefly, and it ought to be my responsibility to thank them for accepting and caring for me as much as a kin.

I may not be able to speak to his mom, since his mom is often out for classes, gatherings, rehearsals, events. I’ve written a card for her, in case I don’t get to see her.

It’s heart wrenching to think I’m not able to go CNY visiting with the family. I don’t know if he would be bringing his partner. I guess he’d love to but he’d have reservations on the commitment comments. It could happen, if he’s certain.

Stupid phone

Whenever I check on my phone in pockets of my free time at work, there’s no notifications or messages. It reminds me of Singleton. I’m all by myself.

My guts tells me that I’ve been blocked on Telegram. He has not been seen online for 4 days, which he would be for work. Maybe WhatsApp. It probably makes sense since we weren’t talking. But still, it hurts.

horoscope compatibility Aquarius x Pisces

There are times at work I thought about E and sadness surged in me. Good thing I’m hiding behind my mask, so none knows I’m tearing actually.

I used to have texts, calls, video calls from E in AMK clinic after my session. It’s not going to happen again. Solitude, the first thing came to my mind. I have no one now.

Why and how he can love another so easily. I’m so jealous over how sweet he is to her. To be her Ahmad to drive her around, be her Mina to do housechores, her smoking buddy (who I cannot be). The daily good mornings and good nights which he’d never do for me willingly. I have so much resentment, because all I have done has came to a naught.

‘Honeymoon phase’, Terence said.

I was curious about their compatibility, referencing to their horoscopes. A spectator, looking out at how things will develop, though this is really none of my business from henceforth.

Aquarius is charismatic and has very active social life. However, this man is often unattached, much to the surprise and delight of his admirers. Does he falls in love? Yes, but he has commitment issues. This man is governed by his mind and when he finds himself flooded with emotions, he gets overwhelmed and confused. Flight is usually his response. He needs an open-minded partner who can give him a lot of space and accept his ways. Demanding, needy and clingy woman (that’s me) do not match him well. He seeks strong, intelligent, independent and trustworthy woman.

Pisces plays the role of a giver who will always go the extra mile to make her partner happy and contented. This trait can possibly backfire if she is in love with a selfish person. Piscean dream of true love so they match well with romantic, caring, sensitive and faithful partners.

Aquarius has a hot temper. They have a considerably low level of tolerance. This relationship needs more work than most to make it healthy.

For the first 2 months of relationship between Aquarius and Pisces, things will be hot and steamy. Aquarius will leave Pisces fascinated and the latter will intrigued the other. They will have an amazing ‘get to know you’ phase. Yet this hot and intensity wears down fast. When things becomes cool, the Aquarian will need abit more space and freedom. This will make the Piscean wondering, “What did I do wrong?”. With growing concern, this will lead to the Piscean giving chase, which only serve to irritate the Aquarian who was looking to be alone.

Here comes Phase 2. After the pull of strong attraction, one will yearn deeper connection and glitches will unfold. Aquarius takes a long time for commitment while Pisces wants to seal the love earlier. If the Fish feels like she has been taken for granted, she will step on the breaks so as not to prolong their pain. Second, Aquarius will always come up short of the emotional demands of Pisces. Aquarius process everything in his mind, while Pisces being the most sensitive signs of all, allows her heart to rule.

The Aquarius man is methodical and analytical. His attitude is sometimes callous. This flies in the face of the Pisces woman who commits to her morning meditation. Problems can arise with compatibility when the Pisces woman feel that she has to chase to keep the Aquarian man inside the ‘fence’

I read about the compatibility for Capricorn and Aquarius and it had been true in reflecting what we had been through. He’d have a better chance with Pisces. I can’t bring myself to congratulate and give blessings now. I was telling myself to be fair to the Pisces lady, leave them alone.

Physical wound heals faster than emotional

养心 at home.

I can be hasty in pushing myself to let go. I don’t know if I’m doing it right. Looking at our photos from Candid Moments -> cry, photos from Hokkaido ->cry, packing his things away -> cry.

Meow meow has left us for a month now. Missing her meows when we walked into her territory (kitchen). It used to be the living room next to the windows, then to the kitchen under the tabletop, and to her final months, a small corner under the cabinets in the balcony.

‘I’m sorry to have missed out on your final week when you turned terribly ill. I should have insisted to bring you to the vet 2 weeks ago  before the Cold War with E begun. Too little, too late.

Your passing may have marked the end of a time and beginning of a new voyage, as all of us picked ourselves up and move on, in different directions. But nonetheless, you have been greatly missed.’

E birthday

E birthday. He has the companion of his loved one. Anything to or for him will be superfluous. The best and last present I can give will be Freedom.

I’m on 2 days mc from docs. Went to the bank to close our joint account. It makes more significance to close the account today, what a silly thought. The staff said the account is less than 6 months hence early penalty will be imposed or I can wait for another 2 weeks for the maturation date.

Terence said ‘Give yourself a week, cry everyday if you have to. Go drink, get wasted. As long as you don’t lose yourself’

Koh T.T said ‘Everything happened for a reason. You’ve got to hold your head up high. Prove to the opposite party you can be well. The least you want is for people to pity you’

The dry and scratchy throat caused bouts of coughs. My diaphragm hurts.

I keep to my runs despite the cough. It’s amazing how you can let go crying and nobody knows you are because of the sweat. A form of relief for me.

I’ll sign up for Muay Thai for the next 3 months, twice sessions a week. I’ll stay tough.

Surviving with liquids

Living and moving on with scars.

Slept from 6am - 9am. I was bed bound for the whole of Sunday, drifted in for a couple of mins of nap in the afternoon. Yoghurt for lunch and meal replacement shake for dinner.

Insomnia is real, and it’ll take a toll on my work the next day. Either I cut myself, my patient, or my assistant. I’m in no shape nor concentration to attend to patients. I’ll see a doctor tomorrow for a day off.

Texted Eve, wife of E’s cousin, to let her know the status. She knew about our conflict with his philandering ways and tried to mediate during the CNY. Comforting that there’s people bitching together with me. Undeniably, they have family connections and I’m an outsider after all. They would still have to give blessings and attend his wedding, no matter his actions or wrongdoings as condemned by us. I’ll miss his warm family for the CNY visitings, I enjoyed myself last year and it is with a heavy heart that I won’t be in this year.

E Last words

‘Thank you for taking care of me. I won’t be seeing you anymore. Goodbye’

This is utterly painful now. But someday I’ll be glad that this is over.

Stay strong.

Never quite the same

Doing the right thing, even though it is so painful that you feel part of you is dying away.

I hope I’ll be well and smiling again.

Need time alone

Please, give me some time to be alone.

It still get me teary when I talked about it. I’m not ready to face the world with questions. Please spare me.

More than blue

比悲伤更悲伤的故事

K:希望你找个好男人嫁了
C: 好男人的定义是什么
K: 有工作,有点钱... 身体健康

C:人为什么要结婚
K:因为当你老了,会有个人有个理直气壮的理由在你身边照顾你

C:如果爱情可以解释,世界上就不会有人应为他而那么痛苦

我们以为自己是为对方着想,但没有问过这是否是对方要的

不要低估爱情的力量
