It's only one month, but somehow it sounds quite long. One month later, I will be back in Melbourne. I am so going to miss my darling so terribly. Being with him 24/7 made me can't live without him anymore.
A weird love story has come out of China recently and managed to touch the world. It is a story of a man and an older woman who ran off to live and love each other in peace for over half century. Over 50 years ago, Liu, was a 19 years-old boy, fell in love with a 29 year-old widowed mother named Xu. At the time, it was unacceptable and immoral for a young man to love an older woman.To avoid the market gossips, the couple decided to elope and lived in a cave in Jiangjin County in Southern ChongQing area.
In the beginning, they had nothing, no electricity or even food. They had to eat grass and roots they found in the mountain, and Liu made a kerosene lamp that they used to lighten up their lives. Starting the second year of living in the mountain, Liu began, and continue for over 50 years, to hand carve the steps so that his wife could get down the mountain easily.
A half century later in 2001, a group of adventures were exploring the forest, they surprisingly found the elderly couple and the over 6,000 stairs of hand carved ladder.
“My parents loved each other so much, they have lived in seclusion for over 50 years and never been apart a single day.” Liu MingSheng, one of their seven children said, “He hand carved more than 6,000 steps over the years for my mother’s convenience, although she doesn’t go down the mountain that much.” The couple had lived in peace for over 50 years until last week. Liu, now 72 years-old, returned from his daily farm work and collapsed. Xu sat and prayed with her husband as he passed away in her arms. So in love with Xu, was Liu, that no one was able to release the grip he had on his wife’s hand even after he had passed away.
“You promised me you’ll take care of me, you’ll always be with me until the day I died, now you left before me, how am I going to live without you?” … …
Xu spent days softly repeating this sentence and touching her husband’s black coffin with tears rolling down her cheeks. In 2006, their story had became one of the top 10 love stories from China, collected by the Chinese Women Weekly. The local government has decided to preserve the “love ladder” and the place they lived as a museum, so this love story can live forever.
Kay: aww isn't that sweet. I never knew that love between a couple can be this great. I would really like to visit that love ladder one day. It's has always been my wish to visit romantic places like this with the guy I love.
Mm however Tkok didn't really believe in the story, and he thinks that it will be hard getting there.
Seems like I can't really visit this place with the guy I love now. Anyone else thinking of coming with me? I think it will be really interesting to visit this place. Really admire that old lady for having such true great love who loved her till the end.

One day... he forgot that I existed he stopped asking me if i wanted supper, instead he cooked for himself only.
he only chats to his friends on msn he stopped chatting to me. he only smiles to his friends he stopped smiling to me
he stopped giving me compliments he only gave sarcastic remarks. he started seeing everything as my fault not his.
he stopped seeing my blog as a reflection of our strained relationship instead he sees my blog as going against him. he stopped comforting me when I cried instead he scolds me for crying or even ignores me.
he stopped watching streamed movies with me he stopped going shopping with me he stopped agreeing with me he stopped doing things with me
he stopped wanting to resolve issues he stopped making promises he stopped being cuddly he stopped being close to me
everyday as this happens my heart gets ripped apart that's why I am crying everynight but still he didn't interact with me he stopped understanding and started to ignore
everyday I watch him smile and swear over msn everyday my heart gets ripped apart more as I watch his delightful happy face the face that I will never forget the face that I fell in love with at first sight
I don't know how long this is going to last but I know it's very painful everyday I promise myself that this is going to be the last relationship I will have. I am trying to make this work. It seems like I am the only one holding on now He doesn't really see me as his gf someone that he wants to care and give love to. It seems like I am clinging on too much, and getting disappointed everyday.
Maybe I should let go soon... cos I am getting really tired.
