my secret
this is going to be a long and serious post.
i'm going to let out my secret, and hopefully at the end of this all, i can move on with my life.
if you're not prepared to know the real chun leong that i am, do NOT continue reading, and better still, never come back to this blog.
-------------------------------------------------
it's about my previous relationship, which i have never revealed much to anybody.
it all started back in january 2003. made a mistake that has since shaped my life. it should have just been a normal "i borrow, i return" thing. yet the desperate guy back in secondary 4 couldn't resist messaging the girl to "make friends" as it is politely known as. and so it began.
we started holding hands sometime during end-feb or early-march. the relationship progressed, though "officially", we only became boyfriend-girlfriend on 26th july 2003. apparently that's because i had not bothered to ask her directly and she never said okay till that day.
the wrongest of the whole wrong thing came on the 2nd of august 2003. we did something that would be the reason why i am still looking back in regret and living with guilt till now. we had sex. and so the relationship continued through our O levels and beyond that.
we broke up on the 10th of may 2004. the relationship was already not on stable ground when her parents was close to finding out about us. they weren't approving of bgr back at that time. so when she called and requested for a break up, both parties broke up crying.
however, we still message and called each other for the immediate period after that day. but soon, i realised that i was happier being on my own as compared to when we were together. i guess i found out that i just prefer someone who is more independent than she was. i had the thinking, and still have it now, that she might take more convincing to realise that we just weren't meant to be. so i decided that perhaps by being cold to her, ignoring her calls, replying her sms-es in a "can't be bothered" manner, she would realise that i no longer love her.
by 2006, we broke off all total contact. she's not even on my friends' list in friendster. people not in my friends' list are not allowed to view my profile, because i didn't want her to be still having any hope of us being together. recently, i've found out that she now has a new boyfriend, and i'm happy for her. but i'm still sorry for what i've done to her, not just emotionally, but physically.
maybe by now you'll be thinking that i'm a bastard who just got together with her to have sex with her, who toyed with her feelings and dumped her aside when i got bored of her. maybe you're right. because i've had that opionion about myself before. and at times, i still feel that way. i really regretted my wrong-doing and i really wished that there is a way for me to forgive myself. apparently i've never done so.
i've been single ever since our break up. there has been people i've liked but i have always stopped short of trying to advance any further because of the guilt. i know the whole world who knew about me and jy was wondering why i did not even confess or try. that's because i was more worried that she might accept me instead of rejecting me. i have no wish to hurt anyone anymore.
i tried to lessen the guilt by joining nchsrcy. to be part of others' life at a stage when it's so easily scarred. to be there to teach them the correct life values that they should have and to be there if they ever need someone to help them through life. but i guess that's never enough a reason for me to forgive myself. i made my first blood donation last year, 2nd august 2006. but so what? it doesn't make me feel any less guilty than before. and this year, i'll be throwing a live grenade on the 2nd of august. maybe if i could, i wish i could just explode together with the grenade. but it involves other people's lives and i have no wish to inplicate them at all.
for this past 3 yrs or more, the person i fear most bumping into on the streets is her. there were a few occasions when i thought i saw her, but it was not. and there was once i really saw her. guess what i did on all those occasions? yes, i turned around immediately and walked off as though i didn't saw her. the guilt, that's what i'm running away from. i'm sorry towards her and i know there's nothing i can do to make it up for her. i really wish i could.
i've never told anyone about all this. the only one who knew about this secret was my jie, and she doesn't know much about it either. i only told her because at that time, i really could not take the stress of the secret being inside me.
so why am i saying all this out right now you might ask. it's because i really do hope to share my past experience with you people who read this so that you all can understand why there was a period when i had the "quote of the month" thing. if the guy involved can be so badly affected by it, what more if you're the girl. also, it's because i am really very tired by the guilt affecting me in my everyday life. it is so affecting me that i'm shaping my life due to it. i hope that by letting you all know about my past, i can stop having to act in front of my friends, that is if you still consider me as one.
i have already left nchsrcy. i no longer have the responsibility as a senior to set a good example. i have restricted my blog to the few of you whom i regard as friends rather than just my red cross juniors. if you feel otherwise, feel free to forget about the cls that you know and just chunk that portion away into somewhere in your mind.
this coming thursday, when that live grenade leaves my palm and goes into the air, i really hope i am able to release more than just the grenade from me.
i hope. 4 years on, a lesson learnt.
that's what i hope....
