Since the return of Hazel Eyes, I can only sum up my whole situation in one obvious conclusion:
I�ve been hecticly busy. I have to juggle a lot these days, from work to personal life to social life to writing and so forth, including helping Hazel Eyes with a lot of things � at least until he gets settled in his new home. Right now, he�s still staying close to me. We�re living in the same building but separate rented rooms.
So far so good.
I know it hasn�t been easy, but I don�t regret any of it. In fact, I�ve never been this happier with my life lately. It�s true that Hazel Eyes has played a bigger part / role in making my life much more colourful recently.
Hmm, let�s hope that I can still remember all that has happened so far:
October 26 � November 2:
I picked Hazel Eyes up at the airport on Sunday (October 26). Then I fell sick on Monday and Tuesday that he had to take care of me.
November 3 � 9:
I turned 33 on Wednesday, November 3. Dinner at Ta Wan, Setiabudi One with Hazel Eyes and Ninoy � and then karaoke after that.
That weekend, Hazel Eyes and I went around in search of a rented house for him. No such luck...
November 10 � 16:
I watched �Big Hero 6� with Hazel Eyes and Ninoy on Monday. It was hilarious that we couldn�t stop laughing. There were sad moments there too, though.
It was Tony B�s last two weeks before he�d move to Bali for good. Hazel Eyes picked me up after work on Saturday by cab. I couldn�t help crying and had to tell him all about it. He held my hand.
�People come and go, hon,� he said gently, his sweet hazel eyes full of warm, genuine concern. �You know that. It must be hard for him too, but maybe he�ll be happier there.�
�I know.� I sniffed. �He�s my hero.�
We had dinner at Martabak Kubang, Menteng. We also watched �Interstellar� after that. It was an awesome movie but also very sad. I cried again and Hazel Eyes held my hand.
On Sunday, we had lunch at Marche with our friends Goddess M, her husband Polar Bear, Eddie, and Tya.
November 17 � 23:
Not much to do. We had quite an adventure on Wednesday when Hazel Eyes had accidentally left his wallet in a cab. After tracking down the cab driver through the company, we�d finally caught up with him...in Kramat Jati.
On Sunday, my laptop was �fried�. It needed a new hard-drive. (Snif.)
Hazel Eyes and I went to my family�s house to retrieve some of his stuff that had been in my room for 2.5 years when he was still back in Sydney! He�d finally got to meet the kids � 3Gs (Ganesh-ku, Gyan-ku, and Gira-ku.)
And they all liked him...right off!
Ma invited Hazel Eyes to our family lunch next Sunday...
November 24 � 30:
It was Tony B�s last week in this city. I attended the lunch farewell at the school during break and dinner at Matahari too.
How was it?
No worries, I didn�t cry in front of him. I�d tried to appear tough with acceptance, because I didn�t want him to worry about me. He�s sensitive, but he doesn�t want to be too mellow, if you know what I mean.
That Friday night, I ended up hanging out with Tony B., Gary, and Cato after dinner.
On Saturday evening after teaching, Hazel Eyes and I went for another search of a rented house for him. No such luck. We ended up walking around the city.
On Sunday, we went to my family�s lunch gathering. Again, 3Gs welcomed him warmly. After that, we hung out with my brother and his girlfriend Tia � all around the city...
December 1 � 7:
Out of sheer randomness, we watched �Before I Go To Sleep� on Sunday. It was a treat, since I missed watching thriller like that!
Somehow, I have a strong feeling that there�ll be more interesting things to come in my life...
