Virgo Sun Pisces Moon

Sometimes, when you’re digging, if you just say, “Tell me more…” I can further elaborate…

(Nodding) Okay… tell me more…

Tell you more about what?

(Chuckles) I don’t know? You just told me I can say, tell me more — I’m saying, tell me more…

(Laughing) Well you can also ADD what you want me to tell you more about!

(Laughing) Okay… tell me more about… our first few dates… this year…

(Chuckles) Hmm… our first few dates… well…

You’re not actually wearing a polo shirt and khaki shorts to the date.

I’m not?

No! That was just for surprising me at work, silly!

Ohhh… okay… I thought you were suddenly really into that look or something…

(Chuckles) No — I’m not suddenly really into that look… and I know it’s not really you… you’re a little more… stylish… in the way that you tend to dress — even without professional stylists around, you just in your everyday, walking around incognito… you’re more like a low-key MGK…

(Nodding)… Finally… you know me…

I always knew this! This is just the first time I’m sharing it with the blog…

(Chuckles)

So… I was also thinking — okay, like I’m prepared — mentally, physically, stamina-ly? Like — I know that if you suddenly show up unannounced and whatever work shift I’m on — that I’m still gonna go on a date with you. I’ll make it work, whatever my other schedules. Yes, I’ll do it for you — but — I do have my ideal time slots…

What are your ideal time slots?

Well… Actually a morning shift is not ideal for you to just randomly show up.

No?

No… I’m more… puffy…? In the mornings?

(Chuckles)… you’re CUTE in the mornings!!!

Okay anyway — evening shift is probably best, actually… the evening late shift…

Oh?

Yeah — but I also don’t think — ideally — that you should whisk me away to a 24-hour Yum Cha immediately the first time you appear at my workplace this year…

(Nodding)…

I think that — if the time availability permits — you appear during my evening shift. Of course it’s you — we’ve already re-met from the millennial friends’ group hang out. And you said that you’d find me again at my work place — so it’s you. It’s undoubtedly you. You don’t even have to re-introduce yourself, it’s you. But it’s a surprise, “Hey… I’m here…” Like a delightful surprise…

(Smiling)

But there’s enough time as well — to just — get used to the idea that you’re suddenly here again. Maybe 24 hours… so maybe you do show up, say it’s Thursday night… but then, you’re asking me if I’m free the next night — Friday night — for dinner. For a DATE. For an actual, real, ROMANTIC DATE. And you’ll pick me up from my house with your self-driving car, that kind of DATE.

(Giggling? Laughing to himself?!??!!)

Yeah… and that’s the only time you’ll show up at my work this year. You’re not actually going to do that any other time. It’ll just be once on a random Thursday evening…

Do I even HAVE to do that?

No — you don’t have to… you can just get my number at the group hangout too but… I don’t know, it feels a bit rushed to do that…

Does it?

Yes because… I just need some time to reflect… after seeing you again at the group hangout… maybe I’ll blog A LOT — maybe there’ll be a whole other second wave of poetry? I’m not sure…

Oh… I see… the poetry will flow again…

Maybe — I’m not sure — I’m just thinking this as I’m typing — I really don’t know for sure…

Okay. No guarantees of poetry. That’s okay.

Yeah… But I think that… well, so the first 3 to 5 dates? You’re actually going to pick me up from my house and we’re driving to Brisbane…

We are?

Yes — because — the drive gives us time to talk — to catch up… usually you’ve already been away for weeks at a time. And each time — that you’re in Australia again — we can only really fit in about one date…

Oh?

Right?!?!?!

(Looking at his calendar)… (Sighing)… Yeah…

So it’s still like — I want to see you, I want to spend time with you — but it’s not like two people who just live in the same city — we can’t go at the same pace as them. This is a very rare “long-distance dating” type of situation… where we actually could go for weeks maybe even technically a month or even over — like 5 or 6 weeks — in between dates. And each date is like — a long drive to Brisbane — so we have time to TALK and catch up and then we go on the date in Brisbane — like any other couple in their initial dating stage — and then we drive BACK to Gold Coast — we’re not going to just jump into a hotel room in Brisbane, no — we’re still demure, still classy — and we drive BACK to Gold Coast to keep talking…

(Nodding) (Smiling) Okay… Tell me more, please…

Then back on Gold Coast… well… you’re taking me back to your place…

Oh? Already?!?!?!?! (Excited!!!)

Yes — I’m not a random chick just staying in a hotel — but you’re taking me back to your place — because you’ve got a place by now — on Gold Coast — somewhere… and the first time that you do that — it could be our 2nd date, it could be our 3rd — whenever — I don’t know — YOU’RE BEING GENTLEMAN — and then, you show me around… you give me a “house tour” — until…

The bedroom. (Eyes… actually, I don’t know how to describe this expression in his eyes…)

Yes… my love… the bedroom… the final part of the house tour…

(Biting his lips and smiling)

Anyway, so that goes on for a few more “dates” — remember, many weeks in between — and it’s not a house tour every time, just that first time…

(Nodding and smiling)…

By the time you’re blonde though…

Oh?!?! I’ve had BLACK HAIR this whole time?!?!!?

Ugh — Yeah?

Oh… okay… that wasn’t what I was visualizing but okay?

Ummm…? Why not?

I don’t know… I don’t feel like I’m my “authentic” self with black hair all the time…

But in the first few dates — we’re just a normal Asian couple going on a date in Brisbane…

Can’t I be a normal Asian man with blonde hair?

(Sigh) You could… but you might also get some random streetview fan cams?

Oh… okay then, black hair…

Yeah so I think that — maybe after 3 to 5 dates, maybe even up to 8 of these types of dates?

That’s a LONG TIME if we’ve got 4 to 6 weeks in between each date…

Okay, maybe not 8 dates… maybe just a few dates… wow, but that feels so rushed…

That’s the nature of our dating, baby… we’re long-distance dating… yes…

Okay so maybe… whenever it feels right… then… you’re able to block out your calendar for slightly longer stays — like 4 or 5 days — something like that. And then when you’re able to do that — that’s when I’m also — staying over for 4 or 5 nights… at your place… and then we go on some local Gold Coast dates, or even glamping at times… you get what I mean?

Yes… so… it’s not like we’re living together… but we’re… temporarily… staying together…

Yes — just for 4 or 5 days — I gotta take annual leave for these, there’s no other way… unless you’re happy for me to go to work and/or class and we’re staying together but you’re also only seeing me outside of those hours…

I think we can work all that out later on…

Yeah. So we’ll work all that out later on… and then…

Tell me more —

I was about to!!! I just said, “and then…”

(Chuckles)…

Ummm — I’m still thinking — and then… and then…

…

…

…

I’m kind of mind blank…

AND THEN I’M GOING TO PROPOSE. FOR REAL. BECAUSE WE GO GLAMPING. AND I’M GOING TO PROPOSE DURING GLAMPING.

Oh…? (LOLOLOLOL)… Is that what it is???

(Nodding) — YES.

(Giggles) Okay…? So you don’t need me to go on about all those other details…?

(Shaking his head) No, not really… I understand the momentum now…

Oh? Momentum?

Yes… I get it… (Smiling — SO HAPPILY)

Well — just remember to get my Skype or LINE or whatever, however you want to message me before you fly out the next morning from the first date night…

(Head tilting) Oh? Why would I forget?

Well — if you don’t set an alarm for yourself, are you sure you’re going to remember? You’re not going to be too “drunk” in love with me that you forget these types of little details?

Hmm… it’s possible, you’re right — I should set that alarm before I pick you up for the date.

Yeah — otherwise — you WILL have to show up at my work again — and do it ALL OVER AGAIN — each time.

(LOLOLOLOL) Why can’t I just get your number from the mutual friends?

I don’t know either… maybe you just want to get the QR codes from me in person — with those sorts of apps — just get the QR codes in person to make that connection so then we can actually start messaging…

Are you going to keep blogging like this, though? Even when we do see each other?

Yes… I think so… I think that… sometimes… I’m saying that I’m playing Sims… and other times… I’m saying that “I’m playing Sims” — but it’s us — our date nights — and I’m playing Sims to the blog… the blog readers will just have to accept — sometimes it’s real Sims — literally, playing Sims — other times… we’re the Sims — we’re our own simulation of a cute, happy Asian couple on a date in Brisbane —

(Smiling soooo wide… sooooo happy)….

Or a cute happy couple — one of them blonde — on the beach, or out for a bush walk, going glamping… whatever it is…

I’m really loving your Visions tonight…

Yes, my dear… I got back to… some kind of normalcy… this is like… my new “normal” routine…

(Nodding… accepting)…

You’re not nervous? Fomo? Anything?

(Shaking his head)… I’m sooooooo happy right now I don’t have room for any fomo or nerves or anything… I mean — I’m sure the nerves will come back — when it gets closer to the REAL TIME of when this is all unfolding… but at the moment — I’m so happy. I’m elated. I’m really, really happy…

(Smiles)

(Deep breaths)

Oh? I thought you were going to say you love me?

I do love you… I was just — now the nerves are creeping up on me!!! I was happy for like, 10 seconds but yes now I’m overthinking it — I have a lot more to plan, a lot more to think about — what songs do you want on the Brisbane long drive play list?!?!

(Chuckles) IT DOESN’T MATTER.

(Wide-eyed) Surely it matters…

No? Umm… not really…?

THIS IS MY PROFESSION. IT MATTERS. I’m always going to take PLAYLISTS seriously — what songs do you want during our drives?

Ugh… just compile whatever, and if I actually DON’T LIKE a song — I can TELL YOU — and point that out, and you can ask me, “Why don’t you like it?” And then I can EXPLAIN and then that’s MORE things that you’re learning about me —

Ohhhhhh I see…. so I can just compile playlists of anything?!

Yes… just compile playlists of anything — because then I can have a listen and tell you my reactions, in real time — especially if it’s the first time that I’m hearing any of it!

(Smiles) Okay… I think I know what playlists I’m making…

Yeah?

Yeah… I think so… well… I might have 10 or 20 playlists all ready to go… just in case… Plan A, Plan B, Plan C — playlists for different moods… depending on what you’re feeling that evening…

Oh?

Yeah — and sometimes you get hangry — do I need a playlist for that, too?

No babe — if I’m hangry then just go to the MacDonald’s or any other drive-thru and GET ME SOMETHING.

(Laughing) Oh yeah —

It’s not always music that’s the solution… if I’m hangry — FEED ME.

(Laughing) (Keeps thinking about this…)

Okay my Hunny Bunny, I’m going back to sleep!

I LOVE YOU.

I LOVE YOU TOO.
