Eric’s Accident: One Month On
So it’s been a month since my accident. The minor cuts and scratches to my arm and leg have healed pretty well. They left some slight scaring, but it is all superficial and should fade with time, and either way they don’t bother me at all. My head wound, on the other hand, is still there. The dent has filled up with flesh, and a thin layer of skin has formed over it. The doctors have decided that I no longer need to dress the wound at all, and for the first time I actually got to see what the area under the dressings look like.
Today, for the very first time in a month, my head and hair were given a good, thorough wash. Gosh it felt like such a welcome relief, you have no idea how itchy and irritated my head has been over the past week. Itchiness which led to scratching which led to scoldings from mummy that I was leaving finger marks on the skin around the wound.
Arrangements for my journey back to the US are still in disarray. At the moment all Cathay Pacific flights from HK into the US are fully booked for the whole month of August, leaving me in quite a fix. As a last resort I could buy a one-way ticket with some other company. But we’ll wait a bit longer before doing that I suppose.
Sigh, really can’t wait to get back to Wes and put this whole summer behind me.

Sleep Well, My Darling
Dear Victoria,
I hope you’re getting lots of good sleep and rest after your long exhausting day out. Really wish I could be there with you… to tuck you in, watch you as you lay peacefully sleeping, making you soup for breakfast….
It really has been a long crummy summer huh? Neither of us really managed to do anything worthwhile. 
I hate this separation that keeps us apart, and you have no idea how much comfort I derive from just… getting to talk to you everyday, hearing how you’ve been, worrying ourselves over every ache and pain, and doing so much together, even while so far apart.
Thank you baby, for being there for me so much and so often. Can’t wait till I get back, to show you how much I’ve really really miss you. We have so many plans and ideas and little scenes to act out huh. Rawr. You really are the best.
Really wish, that we could put all our cares and worries down, leave everything behind and just live a happy, carefree existence together somewhere far far away. Just you and I, forever and ever and ever. -Sigh- It’s such a beautiful dream. Maybe someday, someday we’ll travel the world in a sailing boat huh?
I love you.
-nuzzle nuzzle-
Can’t wait till Wes… it’s almost like, a promise, that all our little ails and worries will disappear once we get back. But whatever happens, whatever challenges await us still, at least we’ll be facing it together. -hugs-
Love,
The loverboy,
Eric

I Miss You
Dear Eric,
It’s been exactly 70 days..
Sometimes I have this uncontrollable overwhelming helpless feeling
..of just missing you.
Sometimes it gets incredibly hard to bear but thankfully you help ease the longing.
I’ve done almost nothing this summer but pathetically pine away for you each and every single day and night.
Yet we still have to wait… another 36-37 more days until we’re finally reunited again.
I admire those who have to wait a year or two. ..or more.
It’s amazing how love can pull them through, huh?
It’s amazing how love can pull us through 
especially when we’re both so bad at long distance relationships..
But however much longer I’ve to wait, I’ll still do it just for you.
I just can’t wait until you come back..
Then we can finally do everything we said we’d do..
And maybe, just maybe, my physical state of being will return to normalcy.
Heh. I suppose it’s reflecting my emotions for the past two months, eh? :3
Can’t wait till Wes. Maybe.. hopefully.. everything will go back to the way it was.
Rawr. I love you darling.
And I’m missing you more than ever.
Love,
The Emo PMSing Gf,
Victoria

Eric’s Accident & Other Ramblings
Reowrrr.
So it’s been 3 weeks and a day since Eric’s accident. His wound is healing pretty well =) Where there was once a deepish depression in his head is now just a small dent; the flesh has grown back mostly but skin (and hopefully hair) has yet to grow. The doc used another type of covering for his wound so Eric has to go to the clinic everyday again to get his dressing changed. D: Doc also said it may take half a year – a whole year for his wound to fully heal/skin and all to fully grow. Poor Eric.
And just now he was scratching near his wound and somehow scratched out a tiny piece of glass. o.o;;
Hm. This summer has been so unproductive.. for the both of us. D: We haven’t done much at all. x_x But ! things will totallyyy be different when he gets here. Whenever that is. And then I can drive him around NYC !! But I don’t have a car. ..or my license. yet. >D
Ooh. We also have a splash war planned. sometime.. whenever we’re in a pool without LIFE JACKETS (eww). Dear Eric thinks he’ll win it, but I totally beg to differ. Pfft. No one beats me in splash wars >O
Speaking of splashing, we have something completely tentative and pretty much unplanned for his birthday [weekend?] :O — Brownstone Park ! very close to Wes and we’ll have loads of fun there 
The zip line looks sooo fun and so does that aqua tower thing, hahah.
Otherwise, still trying to think of creative ways to make him a pretty birthday card. His bday’s actually more than a month away, but I feel the need to make it before he comes to NYC D: Reowr.
Okay. I’m just babbling on. Done for now. 
Gonna listen to Eric talk now about the war he’s waging with the mosquitoes in his room. He’s killed three so far, on his fourth one. Dum dee dumm..
Love you, dear

Letter-format, and pointless letters
Dear Victoria,
Do you remember how this letter-format thing got started? We never really wrote each others letters now did we, it was mostly just conversations over messenger. Except there were those pointless letters you kept leaving me, folded into that beautiful ribbon shape.
I remember being so pleasantly surprised, each time I found that you had slip another one into my jacket or book. They never said much, but at the same time they meant so very very much. I would find a quiet chance and grab a moment, to read and reread each and every word, savouring each fold in the paper, each little waggytailheart you drew.
And best of all was the not-so-pointless letter, it actually did contain a point! Gosh that totally caught me by surprise. That’s just like you, always keeping me on my toes. ♥
But was that how our letter formats started? Maybe….
I no longer really remember how we started using letter-formats in our online conversations. It was sometime during Spring Break, but beyond that it’s all a blur. Yet it was such a charming thing to do. Starting each block of text with a “dear victoria”, and ending them with a “love, eric”. In that way we went back and forth, each having a turn to say whatever it was on our mind.
I loved it. Within that rigid structure there was a freedom of expression, that space in the middle was almost sacred. Each ‘letter’ contained a thought, an idea, a question, and neither of us would interrupt or say anything until the end. Alternating in this way between listening and expressing, there were fewer broken thoughts and misunderstandings.
And that’s always a good thing. Hmm?
Huggles, cuddles, and kisses,
Eric

Our 5th Month
So 5 months have gone by since we’ve been together. Kind of interesting to think that almost half of the 5 months have been spent just talking to each other over MSN/gtalk and sometimes over webcam/phone. Though we’re no longer a couple joined at the hip for the summer ;D, our relationship is still as strong as ever.
This month that passed has been so fraught with obstacles. Chief among them being my accident, distressing dear Victoria greatly, delaying my trip back into the US, throwing a wrench into our happy plans. It is as if fate wanted to test us, to see if our love could stand and persevere through a separation lasting as long again as the time we’ve spent together. Yet love will see us through, new plans will be made, and even as I heal we share a promise that ere long we shall be reunited.
Unfortunately, we have to postpone our oh-so-exciting monthiversary date to Aug 17th, when we will most likely be reunited again. Hopefully Eric’s wound will have fully healed and then we could hop all around NYC and stuff ourselves in the most delectable restaurants. =9 We have some fun exciting stuff planned out for the day and then a relaxing romantic walk along the sea at night. Yum. =)
It will be good to celebrate our 6th month together, and we dearly wish that it would be so. Yet that is for the future, and for now we give simple thanks that we found each other, and have held fast in the months past. Never had I thought I’d find true love, it seemed like something that exists only in fairytales and myth. Yet here we are, day by day, living our own little dream-come-true. It is more than I could ever have wished for. ♥
Way to end a sappy note, Eric 
hahaa I love you dear. Happy 5th month! <3

Eric’s Accident: Two Weeks Later
It has now been two weeks since my accident. Time seems to have flown by so quickly, I can hardly believe it. Barely did anything at all other than sitting at home all day ‘resting’, am actually starting to feel rather restless. Heh. Luckily I have Victoria keeping me company everyday, so life isn’t that bad. ♥
Went to Putrajaya Hospital again today for my follow-up. The doctor finally decided that my head wound had healed enough for the stitches to be removed. There was hardly any pain involved, and the doctor expects another two to three weeks for the wound to heal completely. All in all I seem to have healed well enough, just there might be some cosmetic issues with hair growth and a dent.
The accident really threw a wrench into my plans. Had intended to fly back to the US this week. As it is, my parents are reluctant to let me fly until my wound is properly healed. Currently waitlisted for flights back August 10-13th, but the whole of August is fully booked up. -sigh- The ironic thing is that earlier this summer I had changed my ticket from a mid-August flight to one this week.
I’m missing Victoria so much….

A Completely Random Entry
So Ericboo is gonna come back sometime in August ! Don’t know when yet.. he’s on waiting list for Aug 10-13ths’ flights. Yayayay. But either way, neither of us can wait till August 30th :O I hope that day just drags on like forever.
Lately I’ve been trying to keep up with a ‘thing’ I kind of made with Eric.. basically I’ve to exercise everyday for an hour or so (originally 2.. ), and now I am le soree.. like EVERYWHERE T_T — arms, abs, shoulders, and especially calves. At least I think I’ve been burning more than I’ve been eating :O hahaa 14 pounds lost since coming back, 11 more to go. More than halfway ! Yay Lose these pillow-y arms and legs. T_T
Alrighty. It’s 2:43AM and I should probably go to sleep. Short random entry but better than nothing ? =D I’ve been so lazy with blogging. Boo.
Ok. Good night world. Off to bed. x] Lalala.

Saya mahu awak
Okay. So the last 4 public posts were by Eric dear.
I feel a bit hypocritical ’cause of last time’s entry.
My totally legitimate excuse is that since his accident post, I’ve been too afraid to post anything new after that as many people were still reading that entry.
lalalaaa.
“Saya mahu cium awak.”
^ That’s the Malay I learned yesterday from Eric dear
and I somehow remembered! probably forgot how to count from 1-10 though.. D:
Hmm so when Eric gets to NY, he’s going to become my new maid. :3 No just kid. We’re both going to be my parents’ slaves D: Eric’s going to cook! Hehe, so excited. He’ll be staying over at my house till we go back to Wes.. Fun stuff.
Rawr. Not much to say other than the fact that I can’t wait till we get back to Wes!
It’ll feel so good to be back on campus teeheeh
Eric’s Accident: One Week Later
One week ago my car skidded and turned turtle. The accident left me with a bad cut to the head, but thankfully the rest of me got away with just minor cuts and scratches. Stayed in the hospital for two nights, and have been resting at home since. Now that a week has past, I thought I would give you all an update on how I am faring.
The little cuts on my hands, leg, and ear have mostly healed now, and the scabs over the larger scratches are slowly peeling off. They seem to be healing nicely, and I expect nothing more than a few superficial scars that will slowly fade with time.
As for the head wound, however, that is quite another matter. Went back to Putrajaya Hospital today to have it examined. Seems to be healing well enough, but the wound is still not closed enough for the stitches to be removed, I was asked to come back in another week. I am anxious to heal up and fly back to the US to be with Victoria, and I had rather hoped that the stitches could come off today.
While at the hospital the nurse cleaned and examined the wound closely. Surprisingly, she pulled out two jagged-looking pieces of glass. The doctors must have missed them during the operation because of all the blood around the wound. Am rather miffed, however, that no one else found the pieces of glass in the week of daily cleaning sessions.
Ah well, hopefully now the wound will close faster.
