A Toast to the Best Man
I got an email once, asking me the secret of maintaining such a long relationship when we are sometimes seas and mountains apart. To be honest, it isn’t easy being in a relationship, long distance or not. In fact, I think it’s even harder when you see each other everyday cause we tend to pick on little things to fight about.
Despite how hard it is, I think one of the reasons why we managed to hold on so long is all thanks to my wonderful boyfriend. (no thanks to me seriously, I only know how to pick fights wtf) He has been the most patient man I’ve met and I’m always amazed at how he could withstand all the challenges in sustaining our relationship.
When I was asked to write this Honda advertorial where I was supposed to nominate one person in my life who possesses certain themes and qualities, I wasn’t sure who I should pick.
The themes:
1. Challenge
Standing up to challenges in life, even against all odds, and succeed in accomplishing goals otherwise not achievable if not for the challenging spirit.
If I’m shameless enough, I would have so nominated myself for this! Teehee wtf
2. Refinement
The relentless pursuing of perfection, constant learning, patience, and un-ending commitment to strive for the best in everything that one does.
I think upon reading this, most of you would have guessed that I will nominate Barry for this. So, I was very determined to NOT nominate him cause otherwise there wouldn’t be any elements of surprise in my blog wtf. I wanted everyone to think I would nominate him and then go tada! See, my life is not all about him!
But after thinking sooo soooo hard, I found out that aside from my mother, I don’t know anyone who embodies these two qualities as much as he does. So, as much as I don’t want to choose him, I had to cause he’s the only one who would do these stupid videos with me.
Watch these videos to find out!
1. Standing up to challenges (aka me wtf)
2. Being patient
Scenes in these videos only show a very tiny part of how much he has to put up with. I’m not kidding when I say I’m a very difficult person to live with sometimes (but when I’m not difficult, I’m a super amazing girlfriend! But those moments are quite rare wtf)
I think I’ve written A LOT about how we’ve persevered throughout our long term and long distance relationship, but the truth is that he’s the one holding us together through the challenge of keeping our relationship alive.
The distance really gets to me sometimes, and I end up taking it out on him, and I’ve even asked him a few times for a break from each other, but he’s been infinitely patient and has always clung on because he “knows something is worth fighting for when he sees it.” (aka me lah awww wtf)
Where mere men would have thrown in the towel after my first tantrum, he’s been the calm stabilizing factor in standing up to Distance and saying “Bugger off, you’re not getting in between Suet and I!” So yah, if standing up to Distance and The Temperamental Moods of Suet isn’t challenging enough, then I don’t know what is wtf.
Anyway, you readers have read about how great a boyfriend Barry is to me already. So do you think he should be nominated?
If you have someone in mind that embodies either one or both of these themes, do visit the Honda website to nominate someone. You can also view the current nominations for inspiration and check out the contest details!
Now if only I have a boyfriend who’s a blogger who will blog about me like this too *BIG HINT TO BARRY OOI*
Why do I blog about how great a boyfriend he is all the time and how bad a girlfriend I am now his harga saham is damn high and mine is probably non-existent already wtf. Pay people also they won’t take me as their girlfriend T___T
No related posts.
...
hmm, i think u shud nominate barry la
true, maintaining a relationship is not easy. even if we see each other everyday it doesnt promise things will get smoother or make us closer. =_=
“is harga saham is damn high and mine is probably non-existent already wtf. Pay people also they won’t take me as their girlfriend T___T”
I ROFL when I read this! ahahahaha Suet oh Suet..u r so farney la!
and anyway, i think you should nominate Barry for maintaining the relationship so hard (I don’t mean you are not, ok?). And btw, I’m soooo so so so so agree with you about LDR, cos I’m doing the same thing T_________________________T
HAHAHAAHHAAH THE VIDEOS DAMN NICE HAHAAHAHA YOUR FACE WHEN YOU THREW RICE AT HIM WAS PRICELESS AHAHAHAHAHAH
you’re my favorite advertorial writer /boo
LOL!! I cannot stop laughing when I see the video when u threw rice at him!! hahahahhahaha.. his facial expression.. lol! eh but why did u throw the rice at him?
Oh i follow your blog long enough to KNOW that he definitely deserves to be nominated!
Btw, is there something wrong with your Honda website link? I tried to go to that link but cannot.
HAHAHA THE TOOLISH BARRY GRIN.
WAHAHAHA… like the video
Hmmm, as much as you are praising so much about him, I think it takes a mutual commitment from both parties to keep the ldr going.
At least you guys get to see each other quite often =\
I think the whole relationship requires the both of you to work through it, i think that he is very sweet though, i read your blog since a long time ago and yea i thought both of you are like a perfect couple
ARGH!! i can’t see youtube @ work T_T
awwwwwwwwww sounds exactly like sonohito seriously EVERYTHING T_______T why OH why !
hahaha.. ofcoz u should nominate barry!

Awwww, you are making me all mushy inside.
How adorable!!!
I had a bit of a one minute set back just now, because it says ;
“Here I am, angry cause he forgot to buy bread when I asked him to wtf”
When you read too quickly, you can perhaps guess what I read.
I was going to go, Yoyoyo! Children read this!
i can’t wait to read Baz Ooi’s comment to this post. HAHAHA! where is he?!
poor guy…zhan hai kei lan deng!!!
HAHAHAH barry`s face so cute la hahahaha
Think it’s safe to say Barry’s a keeper.
)
This pretty much sums my relationship with my boyfriend and he’s a keeper.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAH the rice video HAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAAHHA =____________= gonna suffocate cos inhale too much when laughing
the vi8deos are so cutee! how can you not love this couple? =)
OMG. U’re my fav blogger ever! u’re just so funny.
The part where u throw the rice at Barry and the rice stick on his face reminds me of a scene in the kungfu mahjung show! HAHAHAHA I just can’t stop laughing!!
i would pay u 456789105usd just to be my gf for a day, unfortunately i’m not gay. lol. u and barry are M.F.E.O. i’ve just checked out NYSE and ta dah.. your saham dah melonjak naik because this post proves that it takes two hands to clap, no matter whichever relationship you involved, it takes both side to make things work, isn’t it?
