Just a quick recap on what’s been happening lately.
After months of effort and the many trips we made to ica building, finally our application for his long term pass was approved. The countless visits to the MPs and the many letters we wrote finally paid off. It just goes to show that God helps those who help themselves. But this is only a battle won. Cuz the long term pass is only for 6 months and we were told that this approval is only one time. And no more appeals made after this 6 months would be approved any longer. His task now is securing a job and getting a work permit within these 6 months. Else all our efforts would go down the drain.
And even though we are happy that we got this one time chance for a long term pass, our happiness was kinda short lived. In the letter, we were told that in order to get this pass we have to meet the following requirements.
1. A full body medical check-up
2. Passport has to have more than 6 months validity
3. Processing fee for the ltp card
Checking his passport, it expires this July. So that makes his validity less than 6 months. We went to the Malaysia embassy and we were told to go to johor to get for him a new passport. The cost would be S$150 for his new passport. And the travelling for the both of us there would probably cost around S$30.
Then comes the check-up (which we already went for) at Aljunied. That cost S$55.
And then finally comes the ltp card. That cost S$60.
So total would be S$295. And that doesn’t include the transportation costs to and fro all the places. Considering us both not working, that would be a big amount. Thankfully I have friends in all the right places. We got for ourselves a total of S$545 from a couple (whom his mum and I made friends with) in Thailand. So the payments are all settled. The only thing left to do is the travelling here and there to get all the stuffs done. But I’m sure after all the tiredness to get stuffs right we would be happy and relieved after the card has been processed.

Love is when two unions come together and be in their own magical world. A world that's pure. A serene and peaceful world. And that is what we have. But that world, that peaceful place that we have, is like a fragile bubble that might burst at any time. Cuz what we have is a forbidden love.
In my race, my religion, love between the same sex is against the law. And perhaps not in my religion only but maybe in others too. Its not a normal thing when viewed by outside people. And that is what hurts me the most. To not be accepted and to be viewed as a disgrace by the public. True that the public does not play any part in my love and personal story. But when it comes to people close to my heart, being dissed at and viewed at differently hurts alot. And the painful comments that were thrown at me hit me deep inside.
I do not deny, despite the horrible arguments and the painful fights, I feel the best when I am with her. She takes me to places that i never knew existed. This thing we have here, the high that i get when i am with her is better and more exhilirating than any drug could possibly get.
Thus to not be accepted by her parents, it hurts me so much. They do love me but only as a daughter and not as an in law. What they wish to see is their eldest daughter be married off and have a baby. And i am denying them of that. I wish not to be the one stopping things but i just can't let her go. Heaven permits, i want to marry her and have children with her. She's the one for me in my eyes. And i wana spend the rest of my life with her, be it a beautiful world or a world thats filled with chaos.
I love her, dont you get it? I love her.
