Once past this phase, you will be in the phase of compromising and making changes for one another. No more in fairy tale dreamland and you will then return to your true self and realised that some of the things that you could not tolerate. Eventually you will stop giving in as much as you did and you're hoping for some return for the things you've done thus far. Some of the things start to fall apart, and this stage will be the one where communication and commitment comes in crucial. Here you will realise that tolerance plays a huge part and listening to your partner does make a difference. You might enter into disagreement or arguments but both parties will need to put in much efforts into keeping the relationship alive. Many fell out of love after the honeymoon phase, because their partner wasn't someone that they could handle or someone they had in mind.
Of course, we did went through such a phase as well. When everything was almost close to sweet and perfect. When life was without much commitments, before we thought of moving to the next stage in life. There wasn't as much consideration as compared to what we are facing currently. Much less worries, stress when we can just live life freely, did many random things, travel around, gave many surprises and did much more things for each other. Couples always strive to still do such things to keep the relationship alive. However, when reality sinks in, these wasn't as easy as what we thought and there was tons of consideration and condemns that we received from others that made judgement without knowing much in fact.
Let's drop the miserable part and revive on the good times.
After getting together for about two months, he initiated a trip down to Singapore randomly to do some competitors check. Tickets was bought about 2 weeks before and I was looking forward for that day to come really soon. We hardly went for any sightseeing since the main intention was to check out a few of these coffee places and to watch a stand up comedy. Headed to Bugis and ended up walking in rounds whilst looking for Bugis Street when the alley was just right in front of us. This is when I found out that he really could sweat a bucket full and I felt guilty for making him look for that place.
After a tiring walk searching for Bugis street, ended up drinking the famous Koi bubble tea. He didn't wanted to upload my pretty face with the bubble tea afraid that he might lose his market shares from the rest of the admirers :(
ToastBox in Singapore was much better compared to the one we have here. Mee Siam was good and came with half boil eggs plus a cup of coffee / tea. After that, we took a train down to Lavender continued our journey in searching for a hipster cafe, Loysel's toys which is located in a building inside a park along the Kallang river. We had quite a long walk and finally manage to find the place. Bear in mind that I have 0 sense of directions, even I've been to Singapore a few rounds before this.
That's my cup of ice tea plus his cup of black coffee. That's my hand only because no face was allowed.
This was my own selfie. Kesian me. I always looks much chubbier in photos. That's not a ghost behind me during bright day light.
Here's where we took our first selfie at the Kallang river's bridge and the only photo of us during the whole trip.
Continued the night catching a stand up comedy and going around City Hall looking for food and ended up in Funan digital mall with very delicious ramen noodles at Bishamon Sapporo. Then came the end of the trip where we had some famous taufufa, kuay tiao soup at the old airport toad food centre. There's like tons of tau fu fa stalls here and we just simply picked one with the shortest queue. I remembered that rain continued for the whole day, we had no choice but to head to a mall and walk around.
Vaguely remembered this place if memory recalls and we sat at one of the corner with two seats
He ended up buying a blazer and took a selfie and sent to me at the changing room.
Took a bus back from Novena Square and we were watching Darren Brown the whole journey. Half of the time I was too tired and falling asleep but feeling a bit paiseh for not being accommodating.
Marks the end of the Singapore trip, this was about more than 2 years ago but I've always remembered the details, the moments that I really cherish the most.
To be continue...
