Hey special someone, this is for you ;)
[[Click to begin]](text-colour:grey)[(text-style:"superscript")[Make sure you turn up the volume or use your earphones!]]
First thing first,
(text-colour:#fa5252)[(text-style:"rumble")[(align:"=><=")[HAPPY FREAKING BIRTHDAY GIRL !!!]]]
I hope you're having a great time, doing what ever you're doing.
Unfortunately I am not by your side this year but that's okay, my spirit is with you! I love you so so much and I wish I can celebrate it for you and get you a massive cake, take you for dinner and give you a nice present in person. I am not able to give you something in hand, so I made this little thing for you. I hope you like it!
Feel free to enjoy and dance to the song until it's finished.
ᕕ(⌐■_■)ᕗ ♪♬
And when you're ready, let's move on to the [[Next Chapter]] !
<audio src="sound/happy-birthday.mp3" autoplay>Remember the day we first met?
It was in Chinatown, right opposite the Yunique bubble tea store. I spotted it from behind, somehow I could it was you from just your silhoutte. It was a little nervous approaching you at first but you, being the social queen, got me comfortable in no time.
We had our first drink/coffee in Costa, right next to the Lanzhou Noodle Restaurant. It is probably one of the most memorable coffee that I've ever had. And now I need my daily cup of coffee to stay away from feeling tired. Haha xD. I don't blame ya, I do find myself enjoy coffee. Oat milk > normal milk, all day, everyday!
[[Our first date]]This is probably when I've caught my feelings for you.
After having our coffee, we took a stroll around London. It was probably a very long walk but I had no interest in time or space. All I could remember was you. The way you talk, walk, looked at me, listened to me and
//held my hands.//
That was the moment when ''everything'' started.
[[I fell in love]]Cheesy hehe >:^)
From that point onwards, we had been through so so much.
[[The first time I took you home]]
[[The first time we moved into our own place]]
[[The first time we kissed, or you kissed me because I didn't know how]]
[[The first time I took you to Bancone]]
[[The first time we fought a big fight]]
There are so many first-times with you. I want to cherish not only the first, but every single memory with you.
When you're done reading these, I would like to take you on a [[musical trip]].
Looking back at it, I was surprisingly not as nervous as I would be normally.
I guess the normal expectation of bring your significant other home to meet your parents are usually quite a challenge. People would have to prepare how they look, what to say and maybe even things/gifts to bring. I'm grateful that my parents aren't as traditional as other Asian parents. I hope that it wasn't an unpleasant experience for you. Because I know everyone in my family thinks you're lovely.
I remember the convincing I did to make you finally decide to come with me, all the way from the station that we were supposed to depart from. I am glad that it happened, the way it did.
I hope in the future, that I can improve my relation with my family further. So that if you are to come join us for dinner again, you wouldn't feel any kind of awkward/uneasiness. I will translate for you, proactively. I will initiate conversations. I appretiate everything that you had taught me and done for me and my family. They still ask about you sometimes. We all miss you.
[[Return |I fell in love]]124b Archway Road
A place filled with memories.
We had rushed to get into the place because we both needed a new place to stay. You needed a place so that you can go work without hours of transporation and I needed it to escape from my parents house. It all happened so fast and I did have some regrets of not able to search and find a better place properly. However, it doesn't take away from the fact that you spent your time looking and hunting for a place for both of us. I may have been busy with work and stuff but it's not an excuse. I appreciate how you're more active in doing things.
The place may not be the best, but it held up as a home that we return to at the end of a tiring day. Moving in with you and spending time with you doing 'life' things with you was worth all the downsides of the flat. Is it there that I got to truly know you and see you as real as it can be. I'm glad that we had been living together because I have learned so so much about you, and about myself, too.
You have taught me so much about how to live with people. I learned the small things that I couldn't have otherwise. Things like always clean after yourself, keeping things back to it's place, not be lazy about cleaning/tidying where you live. These are all very important things that everyone should learn and I thank you for helping me understand how to respect people. You've made me a better person.
I didn't realise how wonderful it was that I am able to wake up to you beside me, return home with a welcome hug, close my eyes and sleep right by you. I haven't be able to stop missing this. I am grateful for all the times we've had together, as small as just sitting right next to you.
Of course, there are also the times where we have fought till we're on the edge of breaking down. It pains me to even think about them but I treat them not as scars but as lessons. They serve as reminders that you'll love me no matter what, we can overcome anything, I have so much to learn about relationships. Through the fights, we bonded stronger, our love for eachother grew each and every time. I have been doubtful about our relationship when we were having those difficult moments, but I see how much you value me. I regret the times that I made you angry and sad, but I will always be working on being a better partner.
Farewell, our //home//.
[[Return |I fell in love]]As embarassing as it was, I had a great night staying over with you at North Hampton.
I enjoy every single minute of that night. Our train ride, the walk to your place, the shower, the conversations, the birthday surprises, the cake and of course, the kiss.
Thank you for celebrating the last 3 birthdays with me, you make me feel very happy every single time. I am normally against the idea of celerating birthdays for myself but you brought me so much joy.
You are truly the (text-colour:yellow)[//BEST//] !
[[Return |I fell in love]]I can't quite exactly recall what our first big fight was, but I remember clearly the first time where I realised, "Ah, this is what a real fight is like in a relation."
It was when we were still working together at TikTok (I can't remember the name of the company now, oops). We had some conflicts at work, and when we were heading to the station, we argued in public. I had unpleasant feelings and ended up leaving you on the street and head home by myself.
You told me later that how sad that made you fell. I am deeply sorry, I still am. I know you don't like me apologising constantly, and I know that it takes away the sincerity in an apology.
Hey, I don't want to bring up any more of the unpleasant memories. Let it be the history that make us the better version of ourselves. I will continue to learn and treat you better, with respect that you deserve.
I am sorry and I love you
[[Return |I fell in love]]Bancone had become the single restaurant that has a special place in my heart.
It is where we celebrated your birthday together. Till this day I still remember the food we ate, the smiles you had and the happieness there was surrounding us.
I could still tell you every single dish we had on that day. The food was great,
but you were (text-colour:yellow)[stunning]
I hope that it brings back as much great memories for you as it did for me.
[[Return |I fell in love]]I find that I don't listen to music often anymore. Music is such a wonderful thing. It can bring you all different kinds of emotions under different situations you're in.
I hope that you find these songs to paint you memories as they did for me.
First of all, a [[song that you made me fall in love with]].
Secondly, a [[song that reminds me of you]].
Then, a [[song that I listened to when I was on the edge of breaking down]].
Also, a [[song that I'd like to share with you]].
And of course, the [[song that means everything]].
I hope you enjoyed this little playlist that I've put together for you.

Oh, how lovely this song is.
This is the song that you kept playing at a period of time. You loved it, probably still do, and I love it, too.
This is the song holds a special meaning for me, it's the song that you made me fall in love with.

I remember that there are times where we hummed the song together.
Yi bei liang bei xiang dao ni ~
一杯两杯想到你~
One cup, two cup, thought of you~
It's something that I know we'd both be happy to listen to.

This is the song that I played on repeat when we had our worst fight. It sometime brings me the painful memories of wanting to leave you. I hate the feeling but love the song.

It's a song that I don't think I have played for you before, but I would love to share it with you.
The title translates to, I want to ... with you
("..." is to be filled with anything, such as "I want to //dance// with you")
I hope you like it
