why the guy...
...is THE GUY?

while i really should be studying...
i really cant swallow any more Sensors and Actuators...
and i feel the above needs to be addressed...

thing is...
i'm not trying to be anal here...
using the term 'the guy' when half of you know him in person...
or heard me gushing about him with reference to his name...
it started out because he didnt want his name or face splashed on my blog...
i know my blog not famous...
i dun want it to be either...
just that he feels uncomfortable i guess...
he is a private person...
so me blogging about us is actually a compromise already...
one that mutated from NO-blogging-about-US...
to blogging-mushy-nothings-in-anonymity...
not very anonymous if you wanna pick on it...
especially at the start when we were trying to keep our relationship from our mutual frens...
so the anonymity did help...

soon when everyone kinda got to know about him...
met him in person...
and stuff...
the term seemed to have lost its purpose...
i get feedback that my use of the term is 'novel'...
'funny'...
'why like that?'...
but it just stuck...
coz it allowed us to maintain that buddy-like relationship we have...
u wont catch us huggin' face-to-face for 30 mins in the MRT like i endured this couple today..
or frenching each other on the escalator up to Marina Square...
or find our hands in each others' pockets or butt or watever...
(but i do admit to an occasional bear hug of his potbelly whenever i feel like it...
though he squirms, protests and runs away...)

we're not into the mushy talk...
the 'baby', the 'sweetie', the 'dear', the 'darling'...
the 'honey baby sugar pie' stuff...
so 'the guy' gives it a very nice...
non-committal feel...
just the way the guy likes it...
it's nice too because at least he knows he is the ONLY guy...
therefore the possiblity of such a term...
heck la...
he doesnt read my blog one...
he say i boring...
but then again...
i can go out with ANY guy and still refer to the date as 'the guy'....
but not very possible coz no one else would want to go out with me...
boohoohoo!

and i think he say before...
it makes him sound mysterious...
like Ou De Yang who was really cute...
i stress WAS...
so people think he is very cool...
when in fact he is not...
ok la...
i think his new haircut quite cool...

so i guess the use of the term, 'the guy' for my boyfriend...
serves no real purpose...
save for adding the aura of mystery behind the ambiguous reference and blurred photos...
that is probably our ONLY saving grace...

it's definitely better than calling him the Toilet...
