Sometimes things are not what you think it is. There are many things that are not visible to the naked eye.

Sometimes you think the other person hates you. But when you think about it, that person could be jealous of you, and hence the hatred. Some things may look really nice to you, but you do not know how much effort and time has gone into it..

I used to be 'teased' by this friend of mine about my 'perfect and loving' relationship with him. Every year when we meet up, she would ask how am I going with him. I guess it's a courtesy question. I would say it's ok, still going on. But that simple answer would provoke a string of comments like

"aiyah! Sure very good wan lah! I see the two of you so good together. Dont argue also. Somemore your boyboy so sayang you...

You guys talk to each other everyday ah? He calls you every night ah?

I'm sure he treats you very well right?

Eh! He didnt fly over for your bday meh? Very close only wat...

So when getting married? Dont forget to invite me wor!!"

-__-"

I dont really mind friends asking me about my relationship. But when I get a string of replies like above, I dont know if the question was based on concern, jealousy, or plain laughing/teasing you (I've been thinking of the correct word for about 5 minutes, and I still cant think of it. Haha). Such comments might sound friendly, but somehow you get a very uneasy feeling that the person is implying something else.

There are no perfect relationships. There are bound to be arguments, tears, cold wars.. and mine is not an exception. Not to mention mine is an LDR from the start till now.. Not a very fun thing to do you know. But I'm still holding on, we're still working hard at it and hopefully after the hard and long journey, something nice will wait for us at the end.

Anyway. It's been quite a few weeks that my friend has this 'disturbing' nick on her msn. First it started with the doubt of everlasting love. Now it has transformed into something more scandalous, like betrayal of a friend or something. I nudged her. Asking if she's ok. It was obvious she's trying to avoid the topic, simply saying that she's really stressed with assignments and exams. I asked another friend. She seems to know what's going on, but told me not to bother about it, she's just really troubled at the moment.

Hmmm. I guess no one wants to tell me. Honestly, that's fine with me. I dont really want to know what scandalous incident actually happened. But I was just trying to care for this friend. It's funny how she wants to know about everybody's relationship but she doesnt want to tell anyone about hers. Last time, she even asked me how Tiffany is going with her bf... O_o" How should I know?! I'm not that close to tiff, and I dont do periodic checkup on everyone's relationship ok.

Sigh.

To my friend, whom I know wont read this:
I dont know if there is everlasting love in this world, but I know people fall in and out of love. Whatever it is, I hope you get through it strongly. Take care.
