Unleashed of what has been kept…
February 2nd, 2009 by justlakejulzIt feels great to be back. It’s been so long since I last expressed myself to the whole world of people whom I know and those who are complete strangers. Anyhow, it is always great to be typing a blog again because blogging is my next best friend when I have no one to listen to all my stupid little nonsense and whatever I have in mind. People may get bored of listening but reading, hmm, those whom does not take any interest at all wouldn’t be reading right now would they? Oh gosh, how my life have turn around ever since I came to KL. Things that I didn’t expect happened and a lot has changed, even myself.
I guess most people know that I am married. Yes, married to a girl and has a kid(dog). Well, think again, I WAS married. Now I am not. I guess there are a lot of “WHY” popping around but hey, people do change and I guess I wasn’t that ready to commit. Come on, divorce is such a common thing right now. Guess what is the best part? The best part is that I do not have to pay any lawyer fees, no compensation but the only thing is that I have to give her my assets. It was a mutual understanding and there is a price to pay for breaking a girl’s heart. Who say marriage was easy huh? I am part of that experience too now.
Back in those days when, “I love you, you love me” meant so much and now they just dissolve into the midst of air without anyone knowing what has actually happened. July 13th 2007, well it was a beautiful day whereby I got into a relationship with my ex-wife. We got off quite a good start and we decided to live together pretty quickly. After dating for 4 months, we live under the same roof, trying to adapt to each other’s way of living, and we got a dog together and start discussing how are we going to lead our life in the future. Soon after, we’ve dated for a year, we start to realize that we’re always arguing over matters that cannot be solved. I am a person who heads for career first whereas for her, it’s always love at the top of the list. So, one day, I decided that we should get married because I intend to move to KL to head for my career there. It all went according as planned. We had a beautiful wedding with all my close friends. 3 days later, I moved to KL and so it starts, distant relationship.
I came over to KL, I partied hard and partied even harder as the days goes. I kept partying so much that I neglected my wife who is at home waiting for my call and messages every day and every night. I started to turn wild. It was like I’ve never been out of Penang my whole life and now that I’m in KL, I turn into this party animal that was not actually seen alive before. The thing is, I’ve not go into a club without a date. I always went with a girl. Yup, I know that is a terrible mistake and what a huge wrong doing behind my newly wedded wife. Yeah, I know. I’m a bad-ass, have been a bad-ass and will always be a bad-ass.
All this while, I have always thought I would know how to control my feelings well. I have always thought I would know when I should hit the breaks and do the right thing. After 5 years, keeping my heart away from open risks, today..I finally let go of the shield and decide to take whatever risk that comes along the way for I have fallen in love with someone whose character, attitude and personality in which cannot be found in someone else. The last time I saw this flame was years and years ago. (I make it sound like I’m so old) I finally found her but I’m not sure if I should let myself fall for her as deep as I can go. Even herself, she can’t give a promising answer when she sees me in this sort of dilemma. Even she has no confidence in herself, how could I possibly have that much confidence in her? Well, love has come to conquer and so I let my heart in, confide myself in her and just take whatever risks that comes along the way. Love is like package or a box of chocolate. You’ll never know what you might get.
Well, as when I thought I will not let myself fall deeply in love with someone, I finally did. How did I know that I fell in love in which I didn’t in those 5 years? My answer would be, all these years I have no intention to change nor to discard my bad habits. I club like nobody’s business, I drink like a drunkard who would die if there’s no alcohol for a day in my mouth, I smoke like a bloody bastard who could be a chimney and also, I cheat behind my girlfriend and I am such a player. Today, I decided to make amendments. I decided to club as little as I can or better yet, don’t club anymore unless it’s a special occasion. If there’s no particular evening, or a special celebration of something, I wouldn’t drink without any reasons. Quitting cigarette is an empty promise to anyone on earth but I’m trying to smoke less (hopefully soon enough, non). Last but not least, I have no intentions to play around anymore or to get to know new girls. I know, old habit never dies but when you have the motivation to do something, better do it before it’s too late or when the motivation slips away. I am turning a new leaf people. Ya ya..laugh about it now. People will see. I believe in less talk and more action.
This girl that I have found, she is really something different. She is not like the usual kind in which you can just give a wild guess about her favourite food or what makes her happy. She puts a smile on my face with just a simple look. Within a second, she can decide whether she wants to make my day a happy one or a sad one. She’s a dream. A dream like I never had before. She has what a woman needs to have and plays is all out like a real lady. She’s incredible. Amazing. It’s really amazing how helpless she can make me with her sweet smile or just a simple peck on the cheek. Her ability to make me tremble even on the smallest mistake or just a slip of the tongue. Her way of making friends with all my friends and make me seem rather proud when I hold her hand across a room of people with prejudice in their eyes. She changed my life, she found my heart, she pulls me up when I was down, she knows her man, like only a woman can. She’s perfect, she’s everything I’m not, she’s an angel.
Now, for all the things I have done in my past. I have to live up to it, suck it all in and try real hard to change for the better and to prove to her that I am really different from what I used to be. I am thankful that she gave me that chance to show her what she really means to me and what I would do just for her sake. As we all know, to love someone is to see that person being happy whether or not that person belongs to you or with you. I am not prepared to lose her yet. I don’t want that to happen. I just want to do my best to show the best of me to her and let her see that I am truly a changed person and I am truly in love with her.
p/s: God Bless!
