A Big Thank You... and a Hug

Well people. It's been a bloody hellish four months since the break up and the series of unfortunate events which followed. Two months of unbelievable pain and hurt before I realized that I've had more than enough. And two months plus of no contact because it's ridiculous for me to subject myself to such disrespect. I just thought that I'd express my most heartfelt thanks to all of you who have helped me so much this past few months.

To my girls:

My sister, as always - I know I've talked your ears off. But you're my best friend and my main source of comfort. Hugs. Thanks for all the "empowering" lectures. Didn't expect that from a younger sibling *faints*.

To Belle, friend and neighbour - words fail to express how very much I appreciate all that you've done from me, from picking me up at 1.30 in the morning to I could cry on your shoulder to giving me a knock on the head when I needed it the most. Hugs to you too.

To Ying Juin - thanks for calling me all the way from Australia. Thanks for your advice and your ceaseless support. And no, there is no need to punch him. Why bother.

To Julia - for all your words of wisdom, a big thank you! And for all your concern and support, a big hug. Thanks for allowing me to see the relationship for what it's worth

To Shobee, Chinese trapped in an Indian body - thanks for sticking with me through this crappy semester. Hugs darling.

To Aun Ny - thanks for being such a good listener and for justifying what I'm doing as right. Huggies.

To Felicia - oh my, you're really emphatic! Just want to express that all your views, I really appreciate, and that it has really opened up my eyes to the nature of relationships. A special kind of thanks goes out to you.

To Carmen, cousin foremost, godsis next - you're so right. It's really not worth it. Cheers~

To Ruru - thanks for listening, and to give so much rational thoughts into staying or not staying in contact.

To Ling - I find that your being so strong in your break up helps me in mine. Thanks for the courage.

To my boys:

First and foremost, my very own blood, baby bro - Thanks for being supportive in your own weird way. I really appreciate that you did what you did when you did. No hugs for you though. LoL

Darling godbro Daryll - for always being there whenever I need you all this years. From the moment my grannies passed away to the moment my relationship died, to the time my computer gave way. Thanks for telling me to ignore him. Hugs.

To Elfie (or whatever you wanna be called - please state here) - I really appreciate all that you've done to see me through this. I would still be where I was after the break up without you. A big thanks! And sorry for waking you up at 4am *pai seh*.

To Shiroi - I really appreciate the calls, and the courage to "throw it into the rubbish bin". Also, the very male perspective of things.

To Taka and Kian - hugs for that knock on the head.

To Yong Sheng (Truth zai) - it was great meeting you and thank you for all the pep talk! It isn't worth all this pain.

To Nicholas@Hatori - geez... I really appreciate those words of wisdom, and thank you so much for trying to make me feel better. Hope the PW is going well. LOL

To Danh - thanks for the strength to go NC. And for taking the time to sit and repeatedly telling me he's a ***************************

To Andy - thanks for the courage, and for letting me realize that someone better will come along in time.

To Gil - thanks for opening up my eyes to what my relationship is and was. And for keeping me entertained.

To Eric - thanks for all the concern and support. I really appreciate it.

To my Ph3onix guildmates, Alice and Ron especially, thanks for the urgings to move forward. Hugs to the both of you. Hope to see you all in April.

Finally, to Dr. Rashidi - thanks for all the concern and the moral support. Thanks for letting me know that it took a lot of courage to do what I'm doing.

Once again, a very big thanks to everyone. And for those I didn't mention or forgot to mention, my apologies - hugs to you too.
