Touched

I remember mentioning a LDR story which the guy who is my uni mate and doing engineering here in Sg while his gf did medic in India. Then finally when it is almost time that he graduated and the gf has got a year to go, he got a PhD scholarship offer to UK. So distance just become further and further, the same for the time to be apart.

They seen each other like less than 5 times a year, but they make an effort to chat on webcam as much as possible. I remember the time we did internship in Shanghai, he always chat with his gf like on a daily basis. In fact there r times he seems moody and he told me they quarrelled.. but well they fight, and then they make up. Simple as that...

Reason I suddenly mentioned this was because i came accross this picture on fb the other day. And i was truly touched...



Beautiful no doubt, but knowing how hard it is for them to last those years and reached the moment where this picture was snapped, they have earned themselves a lot of applause. The determination, the commitment, the promised made and the will power to keep to it. The guy is a sporty and cute person, needless to say there must be girls who are into him all these years. Same goes for the gf, pretty and a good profession. I am sure the relationship will not be smooth all the way, there has to be disagreement, dissapointment, doubts by the distance, but the fact is they held on till this day.

So they truly deserved this beautiful moment they have together. Their love story is as beautiful as the picture itself.

******************

Come to think of it, I am already 7 years or more behind the time they had together. Not sure how many more. But if we are fortunate enough to meet that special one someday (or those who had already met) we shud really promise ourselves, (yes-to ourselves!) to not sway easily. The commitment will definitely pay off eventually. Just like the picture says, it will be more beautiful and worthy than we can imagine to be able to be the 2 person sitting there, its much much more than wat a random cute-handsome guy can give to u for a night...

-To the beautiful couple, Happy Forever...

  4. Jared, they were younger than us when they parted, but together they grow. So it is all about learning and believing i think...

  6. Makes me so envious, i mean people like that. Hoping for this to happen to all LDR's. Mine ended from a short period of LDR. Sad, but yeah. More experience for me! :)

  7. Paul, i believe it takes a lot of effort and will power indeed but at least we know there are instances where it really works.. and shud i guess u r speaking from a personal experience too? =)

    Junior zai, not sure if this applies to u but LDR shudnt start from knowing someone online, or only meet a couple of times then ldr le.. my friend here hav been together for 2-3 years in school before they parted for uni... so there shud be a solid base, or at least long enough time to know each other well before committing.. ;)
