I send u this email becos at my deepest level, I still care for you very much.
No doubt, I was very angry with u and also hurt by your cold attitude towards me. I choose to salvage our relationship.
To maintain a relationship can be hard work sometimes. it is like maintaining a nice home - you've got to hang on to your treasures and throw out the garbage.
Do u recall our previous arguments where we both hurt each other very deeply? Come to think of it, they were all unnecessary. We both do not derserve to be treated by each other in that manner.
Being loving always requires looking for each other's good points rather than flaws. Do u agree? I apologise for mishandling my conversation with [ANOTHER COLLEAGUE] that day. Hope u will forgive and forget.
I'll be waiting for your call or email.
She betrayed me again. She gave ANOTHER COLLEAGUE the impression that I had sent flowers to her.
That colleague told her he's never known any girl who has so many colleagues going after her. She agreed and added that she also experienced this at her previous workplaces!

I'm bent on finishing my program properly before I leave for block leave. And I'm very very stressed out.
I can forgive. But I can't forget 'cos I'm shocked and scared by what you told me.
And I'm trying very hard to concentrate.
So, before I can finish my program today, I'm not thinking about anything else other than the program 'cos I'm affected very emotionally already.
Hope I can do my work and finish it properly before 8pm latest. And hope you can understand.
That night, although we met, she did not try hard to get my forgiveness. We were at this place (Youth Park ?) across the street from Orchard Theatre. I was very cold towards her , waiting for her to explain to me. For a long time, we did not talk much. I even offered to buy her something to eat (actually I could not eat during lunch and I was very hungry. And exhausted). Nevertheless, I was still concerned about her health. I could even squeeze out a smile or two. So maybe she thought I had forgotten or was beginning to forgive her (just because she acted in a pitiful manner in front of me), she got up and started walking away. I tagged along and tried to hold her back (maybe I should not!).
I suggested going back to LA Wharf (the place where we first bought her something on a date). I was still waiting for her to say something to explain herself. However, it was not what she could say but that she was not apologetic and was only too liberal with her temper!
She even ignored me subsequently. Later, as we were walking together , I walked away from her.
When I reached home, it was around 11pm. She did not call that night at all. I was hoping she would call me at midnight to say "Happy Birthday" to me but she didn’t. I didn’t sleep much. I was very sad.
The next morning, she called my phone at around 6:30am and said "Happy Birthday" to me. I was touched (maybe I should not! Other girls can do better. Just that any little care and concern that she seemingly was giving me mattered to me A LOT!) . She said she had not slept – she was at Takashimaya Taxi-Stand until 2am or so. I found it difficult to believe her. I asked her questions about how she had spent her time. She said she wanted to celebrate my birthday with me.
I told her maybe we should go somewhere else and not Rasa Sentosa (although we had booked the room 3 or 4 weeks in advance). I said I was very tired. I was actually not keen (of course, I din tell her that then). But, we still went to Rasa Sentosa later. It was all in a rush.
She gave me a Valentino Cravatte tie as a birthday present.
I had made a wish of seeing the sunrise together with her the next morning. But she did not help me to fulfil that birthday wish although she was able to - she had woken up around 4am. Instead, when I woke up, she was throwing tantrums. She chided me for sleeping. I told her I had exhausted myself trying to coax her because she was angry before I fell asleep.
I was very sad. But I shrugged it off quickly as her just being herself.
We had a very good breakfast together. She lost her chicken wing to a bird that flew by. And where we were at the balcony, we could take in the opening ceremony of the Siloso Beach.
But the fact that she did not realise my wish of seeing our first sunrise together was very significant to me. I did express my disappointment to her anyway. That was actually a GREAT disappointment.
