We're separated into different worlds now. Mr Yay's left for Hong Kong and he is going to be there from Jan to May, while I will be going to Eindhoven Netherlands from Feb to July! You can expect overseas posts coming up on this blog very soon ;)
Having mixed feelings about this. Happy on one hand cos we get to learn to be independent and experience overseas exchange and all, but sad cos I am missing him so much! :(
Anyway, this post is going to be about how we plan to maintain this Long-Distance Relationship. (I know 7 months is not very long lah.. but still.. ) Here goes!
#1 Lay out the rules - text everyday!
I am not going to care about time difference or whatsoever. Set a mutual agreement between you two for a compulsory good morning and good night text everyday! Tell each other how your day went, and share what kind of food you eat that day, etc... It is very easy to sound disinterested over text messages, so be careful! Be diligent to add in those emojis and exclamation marks! :)
#2 Facetime / Skype / Oovoo / other webcam facilities.
For us, we have a rule of Facetiming at least once every 2 weeks. But for the past 2 weeks we have facetimed about a few times now, hehe! Doesn't hurt to see each other's faces more than required right? :D
Unglam Mr Yay basking in Hong Kong's sun rays while I am still stuck in Singapore :(
#3 Tell each other random events that happened during the day...
... as if you are leading the same life as before you were separated. & relate to something you both experienced before.
Like for example: "someone just farted on the train" & "can't beat your smelly fart the other time" hahahahaha!
#4 Create a game of tasks to do everyday
(so you are forced to think of each other everyday)
I think I'm a genius for creating this game. I actually wanted to give him a love quote everyday, but I realised its so difficult for someone like me who is not good with words and expression. So instead of love quotes, I set daily tasks for him to pick out in random order! *refer to the pic below*
If you zoom in, you can actually find things like... List 5 things you wanna say to me right now... Record yourself singing in the duck voice... and silly tasks like barking in the middle of the night... HAHA! I think it is important that you take part in each other's life even when you are apart, so even if it means doing silly stuffs, just do it. :) I included some fitness tasks like jumping jack and squats to help us keep fit too, haha.
Oh and please include this very important one, REST DAY!! Important! Cos you wouldn't want to lose stamina and eventually grow sick of the game. So you can include random "rest days" to just simply... rest. :)
