flash back

desember 2002
ada orang gak dikenal ngea-dd gw di MSN.
i usually would reject this type of person yang sok akrab gini, but i was too curious not to accept this person, since the nickname was too.. waddaya call that.. uhm.. weird? *LOL*
so i did nothing but adding this person back.

soon after that, we started our chat, yada yada yada endebre lalilulelo crot *ini gak penting ya bagian ini?*
kok orangnya enak juga ya diajak ngobrol? mbegow konyol dan juara jayus sejagad, yet very intelligent in mind and dilligent on his works. a Phd-in-the-making type of person banget pokoknya *deuuuilee* ;P
PLUS, mukanya juga gak jelek2 amat, hueheue. which is a very rare combination. mulai ngerasa sreg, dan cocok dan mulai agak2 murahan saling tukeran nomer telfon. mulai deh nelfon, mulai deh sms2an.. si orang ini sampe rela ganti nomer telfon which he already kept for a year, cuma biar bisa telfon2an sama gw gratis(ini pengorbanan apa gak mau rugi ya? hmm.. a very thin line here :P)
dan setelah kita sama2 pake optus, yang jaman dulu kalo nelfon malem gratis for the first 20 minutes, dimulailah telfon2 gak penting, sekadar nanya kabar, dan lame things. yaah.. namanya juga pdkt huhuhu.

akhir maret 2003
ngerasa udah lama banget deket, bener2 udah tau habit masing2, tapi gak ada yang berani ngomong kalo masing2 suka.
his version was he thought that i still couldn't get over my previous almost 4 years relationship, while my version was, gile aje masa gw bilang duluan kalo gw suka? sori domori yeh, gak semurah itu biar jelek juga gwnya heuheuhe :P

1 maret 2003-2 april 2003
we talked for 5 hours, dan mulailah kebuka kalo masing2 suka satu sama lainnya. tapi kita masih bingung whether we had to continue (or rather, started) this relationship. kenapa bingung, considering kita dah deket berbulan2, dan saling suka? because we haven't met in person yet! yes, i was in melbourne, while he was in perth. and at that time, gak mungkin buat salah satu dari kita ngunjungin yang lain, karena kuliah lagi ribet2nya (i was just about to finish my college and preparing my uni, and he was still living with his family). it was just too complicated to meet in person.

tapi oh tapii.. namanya juga anak manusia, gak keren kalo gak nekad. so we took all the risks, and just go for it!
akhirnya ya ituu... jadi deh irwanmia.

rasanya jadian belum ketemu in person adalah.. aneh.
the whole idea of "pacar gw kaya apa ya?" kadang2 bener2 ngajak ketawa. aneh aja deh pokoknya. hehe

juni-juli 2004
akhirnya kita ketemuan! gak usah diceritain dimana kita ketemuannya, we finally managed to meet each other! hasilnya?
gak jelek2 amat kok, dan terbukti selama ini ketakutan irwan gak terbukti. guess what his ultimate fear was? he was afraid that i'm taller than him. wakakaka, gak kok, masih tinggian dia sekitar 4 centi-an. hueheuheu
so it all went well.
one whole new chapter of irwanmia is on the way!

and here we are.. 2 years after that.
masih ngejalanin long distance melbourne-perth.
2 tahun yang penuh pengorbanan.
2 tahun yang penuh pembelajaran.
2 tahun yang gak berasa 2 tahun, karena banyakan jauhannya dari pada ketemuannya.
kalo di total2 gw pacaran in person itu cuma sekitar 4 bulanan. sisanya kita ngandalin hp dan internet buat komunikasi.
and yet.. 2 tahun yang menyenangkan.

hope our relationship's getting stronger and stronger, and considering none of us knows what the future holds, mudah2an kita selalu diberi yang terbaik ;)

love you irwaaaan! =)

this post is dedicated to my irwan, everyone who's in long distance relationship, and to syana, the person who introduce
us online. we owe you good time na, thank you! :)
