it all began at the padang...

two years ago (roughly), we met while working part-time as drinks servers at the rugby sevens tournament. i still remember the careless way she drank from her bottle, leaving a stream trickling down the corner of her lips. it was that fortuitous overflow which piqued my interest.

then we went out once in a while... in fact, it was so sporadic that it felt more platonic than anything. we dined at unique locations, explored a fair bit of underexplored singaporean destinations, and even smoked our first sheesha together. we talked about social issues and sparred philosophies as if it were a normal thing to do. we talked about life's niggling problems.

and then we planned to go backpacking! for two weeks in june, the 4 of us (+ 2 other rugby sevens colleagues: soffia and vienna) went to bangkok, macau and hongkong. it was the most exhilirating adventure of my life thus far! the fact that 4 of us split into 2 twin rooms (soffia & vienna, me & yvonne) notwithstanding. and under the constant betting of our fellow backpackers on which day we would finally go official, we got attached inevitably.

so now it's been a month... we're discovering more about each other day by day, and learning more abt our eccentricities has been fulfilling at least. how would this relationship turn out? i can only say that all bets are off!
