I never used to believe in destiny. Who would have guessed that a guy I never even pay attention to (who was friend with my brother) back when I was in grade 5 would become the person I love and care the most in this world today? This isn’t some sort of coincident, this is… Destiny!

Approximately 6 years ago (when I first came to Australia), I went to Robertson State School for grade 5. My English skills were crap back then (still is now) so I had to go to ESL and do stupid reading tasks everyday and for a couple of days in a week, attend ESL classes. My younger brother Ben, who was only in grade 3, had already allied himself with many boys ranging from grade 4 to 7, mostly Asians. Among these boys, there was a grade 4 boy who was rather petite and very monkey-like as I remembered him. He hanged around Asians (talk about schools situated near Sunnybank) and they called him “Chao-Cheng”. A quirky name, I used to think… Obviously Asian name~! From my point of view (let me remind you, this was 6 years ago) he looked like a careless and self centred person. I remember walking past him with a friend, my friend said hi to him while he walked straight past us as if we were invisible. Not a very good first impression indeed. Then again, you should never judge a book by its cover. After I left R.S.S, my impression of him was: a friend of my little brother.

Then, I entered B.A.C on my first year of high school. I didn’t think I’d know anyone in that school except for Shaunna, but I was wrong. One day after school I saw a familiar tiny figure standing near the car park. When he turned around I immediately recognised him… the eye brows (xD). I was stunned, and I think he was too. I mean, talk about coincident! This would be one perfect example. We didn’t talk much though, since he was only in grade 7 and attended school on the other side of the creek.

One year later, he entered high school, that was when all the talking starts. We seem to have ENDLESS topics to talk about, we could just be blabbing on and on forever. I don’t know whether it was because we’re both Taiwanese or we somehow look alike, some guys in his grade thought that I was his sister. We’d decide to make a joke out of that, but the joke kind of went over a bit. Within the times of a couple of week almost everyone believed us and we sort of went along like that until he suddenly disappeared. For a couple of weeks I was worried sick until Nathan told me one of the most terrifying news I have ever heard in my whole entire life. I’m not going to mention what the news was since I don’t want bring up the sadness for him if he is reading this, but trust me it was a very hard time for him. For the rest of that year we communicated through bebo and phone, I realized then my feelings for him; it was more than it was suppose to be since the joke has already gone out of hand. But it had turned out that he felt the same, we kept the relationship through the internet and phone for 2 months until he returned. Unfortunately, things were beginning to change soon after he came back. Our feelings were going in the opposite direction, as mine grew stronger; his went weaker and weaker each day. Until I realised it was pointless to go on. The rest of the complete story is in A little bit about me and my other half.

So yeah, we’ve been through a heck of a lot. Does it sound like a coincident to you? I don't think so :P

To Chao: Happy 3 months, baby! I love you so much more than anything <3
